2.3 |
The parties hereto acknowledge, consent and agree that from and after the AP Closing Date to the Delivery Date of an Aircraft, that Aircraft shall be subject to the Administrative Services Agreement as attached as Exhibit G hereto and the Servicing Agreement as attached as Exhibit F hereto on the terms and conditions provided herein and therein; provided that (without prejudice to the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement or the Servicing Agreement) from and after the Delivery Expiry Date an Aircraft shall cease to be subject to the Administrative Services Agreement and the Servicing Agreement upon payment by the Seller of that Aircraft of the amount specified in Section 4.2 in respect of that Aircraft. Each party hereto further agrees that, from and after the AP Closing Date, it shall reasonably cooperate with, and take such action as may be reasonably requested by, the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement to allow it to perform the servicing of the Aircraft in accordance with the Servicing Agreement. |
3. |
DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE |
3.1 |
Each BI Seller of a Beneficial Interest in a Purchaser Entity and the Purchaser of that Beneficial Interest shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Transfer of that Beneficial Interest to occur on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the AP Closing Date, and each of the Independent Sellers of an Aircraft and the Purchaser of that Aircraft shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Delivery of that Independent Aircraft to occur on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the AP Closing Date, in each case subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement but in no event later than the Delivery Expiry Date. Delivery of the Independent Aircraft need not take place concurrently or in the order set out in Schedule 2. |
3.2 |
The Seller of any Independent Aircraft shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the Delivery Location for such Aircraft to be in a jurisdiction: |
|
(a) |
where such Seller has determined, in its sole discretion, that there are no Taxes that would be imposed upon such Seller, the Purchaser thereof or the Aircraft as a result of the transfer of title to the applicable Aircraft to such Purchaser as a result of the Aircraft or any part thereof being located in that jurisdiction; provided that such Seller may (but shall not be obligated to) complete any sale where such |
15
Taxes would be imposed on such Seller and, with the prior written consent of the Purchaser thereof and subject to Section 11, such Seller may (but shall not be obligated to) complete any sale where such Taxes would be imposed on such Purchaser (in which case, the “Designated Jurisdiction” for such Aircraft shall be deemed to be the jurisdiction in which such Aircraft is located when such sale is completed); and
|
(b) |
where the security, if any, contemplated by the applicable Assignment of Lease, Lease Novation or any related Lease Document to be granted to the Purchaser or New Lessor thereof would be effective relative to such Aircraft; and |
|
(c) |
where the security contemplated by the Security Trust Agreement with respect to the applicable Lease, and, in the case of Aircraft registered in the United States or Ireland, the Aircraft, would be effective under the governing law of the Security Trust Agreement. |
In the case of any BI Aircraft, the relevant BI Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Delivery Location for such Aircraft to be in a jurisdiction where such BI Seller has determined, in its sole discretion, that there are no Taxes that would be imposed upon such Seller, the Purchaser thereof, the Purchaser Entity or such Aircraft as a result of the Transfer of Beneficial Interest relating to such BI Aircraft to such Purchaser, subject in all cases to the proviso set forth in Section 3.2(a) above.
3.3 |
The Seller of an Aircraft shall use reasonable efforts to keep the Company advised as to any information of which such Seller becomes aware as to the intended whereabouts of each Independent Aircraft on the expected Delivery Date therefore and of each BI Aircraft on the expected BI Transfer Date relating to such BI Aircraft. Each Purchaser shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and using reasonable efforts, cooperate with the Seller of each Aircraft (at such Seller’s cost) so as to allow the Delivery relating to such Independent Aircraft, as the case may be, to occur when such Aircraft is at the Delivery Location therefore. In the event that the Seller of an Aircraft reasonably believes that the jurisdiction of the Delivery Location is a jurisdiction where there may be Taxes imposed upon any Seller Indemnitee or any Purchaser Indemnitee as a result of the transfer of the Seller’s interest in the applicable Aircraft or Purchaser Entity to the Purchaser or for which the Seller would otherwise be liable under Section 11 hereof, the Seller may, to the extent a favorable Delivery Location cannot be arranged, elect to treat such Aircraft as a Remaining Aircraft. |
3.4 |
(a) |
For each BI Aircraft, on the Delivery Date therefore, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in Section 7.1 and Exhibit E-1 applicable thereto, the Seller thereof shall be deemed to have tendered such BI Aircraft for Delivery. On each BI Transfer Date, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in Sections 6 and 7 applicable thereto, the BI Seller shall execute an Assignment of Beneficial Interest in the form of Exhibit X-0, X-0 or A-3, as applicable, attached hereto, and in the case of a Beneficial Interest consisting of capital stock or equity interest certificates cause the certificates representing the Beneficial Interest to be duly registered in the name of the Purchaser of the related |
16
Purchaser Entity and subject to Section 3.2, the Transfer of the Beneficial Interest effected thereby shall take place while the Aircraft owned or leased by the related Purchaser Entity is at the Delivery Location therefore.
|
(b) |
For each Independent Aircraft, on the Delivery Date therefore, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in Sections 6 and 7 applicable thereto, the Seller thereof shall tender such Independent Aircraft for Delivery. Delivery and acceptance of each Independent Aircraft hereunder shall take place while such Independent Aircraft is located at the Delivery Location therefore, by such Seller executing and delivering to such Purchaser a Xxxx of Sale. Thereupon, full legal and beneficial title to such Independent Aircraft, free from Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances, shall pass from the Seller thereof to the Purchaser thereof. Simultaneously with delivery to the Purchaser of the Xxxx of Sale, title to the Aircraft Documents therefore shall pass to such Purchaser and, as provided in the Lease Novation or the Assignment of Lease for such Independent Aircraft, as applicable, the Lease related thereto shall be novated or assigned (as the case may be) upon the Delivery of such Independent Aircraft. |
3.5 |
The risk of the existence of any unrepaired Material Damage or the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to an Aircraft shall be retained by the applicable Seller thereof until the delivery of the related Assignment of Beneficial Interest on the applicable BI Transfer Date in the case of any BI Aircraft or the delivery of the related Xxxx of Sale on the applicable Delivery Date in the case of any Independent Aircraft. Effective upon such deliveries on the Delivery Date of an Independent Aircraft or the BI Transfer Date of a BI Aircraft, all risk of loss of, or damage to, each Aircraft (other than a Substitute Aircraft) and the Aircraft Documents relating thereto shall pass from the Seller thereof to the Purchaser thereof, and the risk of loss of, or damage to, each Substitute Aircraft and the Aircraft Documents related thereto shall pass from the Seller thereof to the Purchaser thereof upon delivery of the Xxxx of Sale for such Aircraft to such Purchaser by such Seller or upon delivery of the Assignment of Beneficial Interest in respect thereof, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 3.4(a) or (b). |
3.6 |
Each Aircraft to be sold hereunder shall be delivered to the Purchaser (or in the case of the BI Aircraft, deemed delivered on the applicable BI Transfer Date to the Company) “AS IS” and “WHERE IS”, at the Delivery Location and SUBJECT TO EACH AND EVERY DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND REPRESENTATION AS SET OUT IN SECTION 12 but without limiting any representation, warranty or covenant of JET-i or any other Seller expressly set forth herein and/or in the Xxxx of Sale and/or Assignment of Beneficial Interest for, or in respect of, such Aircraft (together with, in the case of any Beneficial Interest consisting of capital stock or equity interest, the certificate representing the same) delivered pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to receipt or satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent referred to in Section 7 applicable thereto and the other provisions of this Agreement, each Purchaser of an Aircraft or of the related Beneficial Interest shall unconditionally accept such Aircraft or Beneficial Interest for all purposes hereunder upon tender of a Xxxx of Sale or of an Assignment of Beneficial Interest (together with, in the case of any Beneficial Interest consisting of capital stock or |
17
equity interest certificates representing the same), as the case may be, in accordance with Section 3.4 and the other provisions of this Agreement in the condition in which such Aircraft exists on the Delivery Date (or in the case of any BI Aircraft, on the applicable BI Transfer Date). Acceptance by any Purchaser of a Xxxx of Sale in respect of any Aircraft or of an Assignment of Beneficial Interest in respect of any Aircraft then owned by any Purchaser Entity pursuant to such Assignment of Beneficial Interest thereof shall constitute an acknowledgement by such Purchaser for the purposes of this Agreement that such Aircraft is in every respect satisfactory to such Purchaser; provided that the foregoing is not intended nor shall the same be construed as a waiver by such Purchaser of any claim that it may have against the Guarantor or any other Seller for breach of any representation, warranty or covenant expressly contained in this Agreement.
3.7 |
Prior to the Delivery of any Aircraft, the Purchaser of that Aircraft and/or its agents, representatives and designees shall have the right, on reasonable prior notice and at such Purchaser’s cost and expense, to inspect such Aircraft on and subject to the terms of the applicable Lease. |
4. |
SUBSTITUTE AND UNDELIVERED AIRCRAFT |
4.1 |
(a) |
If any Seller is unable to effect Delivery of, or Transfer with respect to, any Aircraft at any time prior to the 30th day before the Delivery Expiry Date for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of one or more of the conditions set forth in Exhibit E-1 or E-2 or Sections 6 or 7, but excluding an Event of Loss or Material Damage in respect of such Aircraft), then, in each such case, such Aircraft shall become a “Remaining Aircraft” and the provisions of Section 4.1(b) and (c) and Section 4.2 shall apply. |
|
(b) |
If an Aircraft becomes a Remaining Aircraft, then the Seller of that Aircraft shall (x) promptly inform the Purchaser thereof and the Policy Provider of such event and specifying the reason therefore and (y) use reasonable commercial efforts to designate in lieu thereof one or more substitute aircraft that is reasonably acceptable to the Company to be delivered on or before the Delivery Expiry Date. Any such designated substitute aircraft shall (i) be subject to an operating lease contract containing the Core Lease Provisions, (ii) have the same or greater Average Base Value as of the date of Delivery thereof as such undelivered Remaining Aircraft as of the Delivery of the Substituted Aircraft, (iii) upon Delivery, not result in a Concentration Default under the Indenture, (iv) be subject to an operating lease contract or contracts providing for a similar rent profile and term as such undelivered Remaining Aircraft, (v) have a similar remaining useful life as such undelivered Remaining Aircraft, (vi) not be a cargo or regional jet aircraft or, if such Substitute Aircraft is a cargo or regional jet aircraft, it is being substituted for an Aircraft of the same category and (vii) be a substitute aircraft in respect of which the Seller shall have obtained a Rating Agency Confirmation and the prior written consent of the Policy Provider with respect to the substitution of such Remaining Aircraft (each, a “Substitute Aircraft”). |
18
|
(c) |
At least three Business Days but not more than five Business Days prior to the Delivery Date of a Substitute Aircraft, (i) the Seller thereof shall provide the Company, the Indenture Trustee, the Policy Provider and the Administrative Agent a certification of (x) the amount of maintenance contributions made and Additional Rent received by the relevant lessor for such Substitute Aircraft after the AP Closing Date, and (y) the amount of maintenance contributions made by or on behalf of the Seller thereof and Additional Rent received for the related Remaining Aircraft after the AP Closing Date, and on such Delivery Date, each of the Seller and the Company shall confirm such amounts to the Indenture Trustee, the Policy Provider and the Administrative Agent. Upon the Delivery of a Substitute Aircraft, the Remaining Aircraft which was replaced by such Substitute Aircraft shall cease to be subject to this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder concerning such Remaining Aircraft shall cease, and such Substitute Aircraft shall become and thereafter be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as such Remaining Aircraft, except as to any matters (other than the matters referred to in Section 4.1(b)) which may be agreed as to such Substitute Aircraft, which shall be set forth in a Substitute Aircraft Supplement, except that the substitution of any Aircraft shall not effect the Seller’s obligations under Section 4.2 (provided always that, for the avoidance of doubt, until a Substitute Aircraft is so delivered for a Remaining Aircraft, such Remaining Aircraft shall continue to be subject to this Agreement). On the Delivery Date of a Substitute Aircraft, the Purchaser of that Substitute Aircraft shall pay the Seller thereof an amount equal to the amount that would have been paid with respect to the Remaining Aircraft pursuant to Section 5.1 on such Delivery Date, plus, if such amount is a negative number, the Substitute Aircraft Adjustment Amount for such Aircraft or less, if such amount is a positive number, the Substitute Aircraft Adjustment Amount for such Aircraft and, in any event transfer any Security Deposits for such Substitute Aircraft in the ,manner set forth in Section 5.1(a). |
|
(d) |
If an Aircraft (including a BI Aircraft) shall have suffered an Event of Loss or Material Damage, the Seller of that Aircraft may, but shall not be obligated to, designate a Substitute Aircraft in respect of such Aircraft, and, if no Substitute Aircraft shall have been designated therefore as provided above, then the Seller of that Aircraft shall have no obligation to deliver and the Purchaser thereof shall have no obligation to accept delivery of such Aircraft hereunder. |
4.2 |
If any Aircraft shall not have been delivered on or prior to the Delivery Expiry Date for any reason (whether as a result of an Event of Loss or otherwise), or if the Beneficial Interest of any Purchaser Entity is not transferred on or prior to the Delivery Expiry Date for any reason, and provided no Substitute Aircraft shall have been delivered in substitution therefore on or prior to the Delivery Expiry Date then on such date JET-i irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to pay, and, without duplication thereof, the Seller thereof irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to pay, to the Purchaser of that Aircraft an amount equal to the Aircraft Refund Amount with respect to such Aircraft, less the Base Aircraft Purchase Price for such Aircraft, less any Investment Proceeds Adjustment for such Aircraft. |
19
4.3 |
Except as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 5.3, if Delivery of an Aircraft (or Beneficial Interest pertaining thereto) under this Agreement is delayed or does not occur for any reason outside the control of the Seller of such Aircraft, including by reason of the lack of cooperation of any Lessee or other person (other than such Seller or any of its Affiliates), the Seller thereof will not be responsible for any damages, losses, including loss of profit, costs, expenses, liabilities, demands, payments, claims or action arising from or in connection with the delay or failure suffered or incurred by the Purchaser. |
5. |
PAYMENTS |
5.1 |
Subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Purchaser of the conditions precedent in Section 7, the Purchaser of an Aircraft shall pay to the Seller of that Aircraft, on the Delivery Date if an Independent Aircraft or on the BI Transfer Date if a BI Aircraft, the Base Aircraft Purchase Price for the Independent Aircraft or BI Aircraft delivered on such date, plus any Investment Proceeds Adjustment for such Aircraft, less any Basic Rent Adjustment for such Aircraft, less any Additional Rent Adjustment for such Aircraft, plus any Maintenance Adjustment for such Aircraft, subject to receipt by such Purchaser of the following: |

Without derogation to the disclaimer in Section 12, each Seller of an Asset or Aircraft agrees to indemnify the Purchaser thereof and each Purchaser Indemnitee from and against any Losses which any Purchaser Indemnitee may incur in relation to such Asset or Aircraft to the extent it arises out of (i) an event (which term shall exclude when used in this Section 10.2 anything related to or connected with the design, manufacture, maintenance, repair, rebuilding, overhaul, refurbishment or similar activity with respect to any Aircraft (including any engine or part)) that occurred prior to the AP Closing Date or (ii) the failure of the representation in Section 8.7(c) insofar as it relates to Item 31 on Annex A hereto to be true and correct. |

1. |
Guaranty. |
|
(a) |
From and after the date hereof, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the applicable Beneficiaries the payment and performance in full when due of each of the obligations of, and the accuracy of each of the representations and warranties of JET-i Leasing LLC and each of the other Sellers other than Duntington Limited, Halvana Limited and Snodell Limited (collectively, the “Guaranteed Entities”) under (i) the Asset Purchase Agreement and (ii) each Assignment of Equity Interest, Xxxx of Sale, Lease Novation and/or Assignment of Lease executed and delivered by such Guaranteed Entity pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (such obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”, and such documents being collectively the “Operative Documents”).

without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, or by reason of any liability at any time to the Guarantor or otherwise, whether based upon any obligations or any other agreement or otherwise, and howsoever arising, whether out of action or inaction or otherwise and whether resulting from default willful misconduct, negligence or otherwise, irrespective of: (i) the validity, regularity or enforceability of any Operative Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein; (ii) any change to any Operative Document or amendment to any Operative Document; (iii) the absence of or delay in any action or notice to enforce any Operative Document or this Guaranty; (iv) any waiver or consent by any Beneficiary with respect to any provision of the Operative Documents; (v) any modification or non-perfection of any lien on or security interest in any collateral granted pursuant to any Operative Document; (vi) the recovery of any judgment against any of the Selling Entities or any action to enforce the same; (vii) any offset, counterclaim or recoupment which might become available to the Guarantor relating to a Selling Entity; (viii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or dissolution or any proceeding of the Selling Entities or the Guarantor, including, without limitation, rejection of the Guaranteed Obligations in such bankruptcy; (ix) any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, (x) any difference between the law selected as the governing law of the Operative Documents and the law selected as the governing law of this Guaranty; (xi) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Guaranteed Entity in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Guarantor in respect hereof; or (xii) the absence of any action on the part of the Trustee to obtain payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in such bankruptcy; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor may assert as a defense to any claim by any Beneficiary for payment performance hereunder (a “Beneficiary Claim”) any defense, claim, set off or deduction which a Guaranteed Entity could have asserted in respect of such Beneficiary Claim other than such defense, claim, set off or deduction available to such Guaranteed Entity only under a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, readjustment of debt, suspension of payments, dissolution, liquidation or other similar law in proceedings against such Guaranteed Entity under any such law.

|
(d) |
Notwithstanding the above, if any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor at any time when any Guaranteed Obligation shall not have been finally paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Guarantor in trust for the Company or the relevant Beneficiary, segregated from other funds of the Guarantor and turned over to the Company or the relevant Beneficiary (duly endorsed by the Guarantor, if required), to be applied |
3

|
(f) |
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Beneficiary upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Selling Entity or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. |
2. |
Assignment of Rights and Claims. The Company agrees that, if Guarantor shall make any payment or render any performance under this Guaranty on account of any breach of any representation or warranty and if, by reason of the act, omission, event, occurrence, non-occurrence or condition that renders the representation or warranty untrue or inaccurate, a Purchaser Entity or any Affiliate thereof holds or may assert rights or claims against one or more third parties (other than a Selling Entity), such as a claim for breach of a representation or warranty made by a third party to a Purchasing Entity or its predecessor in interest, the Company shall cause the Purchasing Entity or the Affiliate, as the case may be, to assign to the Guarantor such rights and claims (and, if necessary to effectively convey such rights and claims, the agreement giving rise to such rights or claims) and shall cause the Purchasing Entity or the Affiliate, as the case may be, to reasonably cooperate with Guarantor in Guarantor’s prosecution of such rights or claims. |
3. |
Miscellaneous. |

The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Beneficiaries in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guaranty; provided, that the Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation only after all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations that the Guaranteed Entities owe to the Beneficiaries that the Guaranties have been finally paid in full. |
|
i. |
Notwithstanding the above, if any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor at any time when any Guaranteed Obligation shall not have been finally paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Guarantor in trust for the Company or the relevant Beneficiary, segregated from other funds of the Guarantor and turned over to the Company or the relevant Beneficiary (duly endorsed by the Guarantor, if required), to be applied against such Guaranteed Obligation, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with this Guaranty or any other relevant Operative Document. |

j. |
The Guarantor hereby waives any requirement that or any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject to any Operative Document or exhaust any right or take any action against any person or any collateral (including any rights relating to the marshaling of assets). |
|
k. |
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Beneficiary upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Selling Entity or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. |
2. |
Assignment of Rights and Claims. The Company agrees that, if Guarantor shall make any payment or render any performance under this Guaranty on account of any breach of any representation or warranty and if, by reason of the act, omission, event, occurrence, non-occurrence or condition that renders the representation or warranty untrue or inaccurate, a Purchaser Entity or any Affiliate thereof holds or may assert rights or claims against one or more third parties (other than a Selling Entity), such as a claim for breach of a representation or warranty made by a third party to a Purchasing Entity or its predecessor in interest, the Company shall cause the Purchasing Entity or the Affiliate, as the case may be, to assign to the Guarantor such rights and claims (and, if necessary to effectively convey such rights and claims, the agreement giving rise to such rights or claims) and shall cause the Purchasing Entity or the Affiliate, as the case may be, to reasonably cooperate with Guarantor in Guarantor’s prosecution of such rights or claims. |
