Agreement, Lessor hereby agrees to lease to Lessee hereunder, and
Lessee hereby agrees to lease from Lessor hereunder, the Aircraft
during the Lease Term unless earlier terminated pursuant to Clause 11.1
or Clause 17 hereof. The right to lease the Aircraft conferred hereby
shall include the use of all Aircraft Documentation and any other
documents relating to the Aircraft delivered pursuant to this Agreement
and any other records, books, manuals, handbooks, data, drawings,
schedules and other documentation relating to the Aircraft or Airbus
A300B4-200 aircraft; provided that, throughout the Lease Term, title to
the same shall remain with Lessor except as otherwise expressly
provided for herein.
2.2 (i) DELIVERY. Except as otherwise provided herein, and subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, delivery to and acceptance of
the Aircraft by Lessee under this Agreement shall take place "AS IS,
WHERE IS" and SUBJECT TO EACH AND EVERY DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND
REPRESENTATION SET FORTH IN CLAUSE 8 HEREOF on or about the Scheduled
Delivery Date at Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (the "DELIVERY
LOCATION"), or such other location as Lessor and Lessee shall mutually
agree.
(ii) INSPECTION AND DEMONSTRATION FLIGHT. (a) Lessee will inform Lessor
of any specific work which will need to be done on the Aircraft in
order to be able to put the Aircraft on the Lessee's operation
specifications (i) in writing and (ii) no later than March 15, 1997.
Lessee shall be given reasonable access to the Aircraft at the
maintenance facility that performs the pre-delivery maintenance checks
(upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours notice), and Lessor has made
available for inspection the full complement of records, manuals and
other documentation as specified in the
-13-
Schedules hereto. Lessor will give Lessee notice at least 24 hours
before the completion of the predelivery workscope and Lessee will
complete its technical inspection of the Aircraft within 48 hours after
receipt of such notice. After Lessee's inspection, Lessor and Lessee
will sign a document listing discrepancies which will be rectified at
Lessor's cost. Lessor shall cause an FAA Certificate of Airworthiness
to be placed on the Aircraft and Lessee will then technically accept
the Aircraft at the location of the maintenance facility performing the
pre-delivery maintenance work, subject to Lessor rectifying the listed
discrepancies.
(b) Prior to the delivery and acceptance, a final walk around
inspection and a systems ground check, including engine power runs (all
of which will not take longer than twenty-four (24) hours) in
accordance with the Manufacturer's Maintenance Manual, will be
performed in conjunction with a flight demonstration of the Aircraft,
not to exceed two (2) hours duration, at Lessor's cost, utilizing the
Manufacturer's standard maintenance manual procedures, all of which
will be accomplished immediately prior to delivery and acceptance. Two
(2) representatives of Lessee will be on board as observers. Lessee
shall at its own cost make available a flight crew for the

respect to the preparation of the Aircraft for delivery.
-14-
(iii) DELIVERY CONDITION. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Aircraft (including its installed engines) will, at Lessor's expense,
be delivered and leased to Lessee in the configuration, status and
condition described in this Clause 2.2 and Schedules A, B, D, E-1, E-2
and E-3 hereto. The Aircraft will have installed at Lessor's cost a
current and valid FAA Certificate of Airworthiness in accordance with
FAR Part 121. The Aircraft (including its associated records, manuals
and documents) at delivery will be in compliance with all outstanding
FAR's and FAA Airworthiness Directives (including but not limited to
CPCP and SSID programs), and any other U.S. regulatory requirements
issued or published in the Federal Register which by their terms have
compliance dates prior to the Delivery Date, or within twelve (12)
months or 3325 flight hours or 1000 cycles thereafter, as applicable,
or to the limit of the next applicable inspection period if the
inspection period is less than 3325 hours, 1000 cycles or 12 months,
all in accordance with FAA compliance with each Airworthiness
Directive. Lessee will give Lessor notice prior to March 15, 1997 of
any other U.S. regulatory requirements referred to above that Lessor
must comply with. Aircraft Documents must be acceptable to and approved
by the FAA. The Aircraft will be delivered fresh out of the
Mid-D-check. This shall include the B1, B1000, C1 and 3C1 checks. The
Aircraft shall also be cleared of the applicable and required CPCP,
SSID and fleet leader tasks. Lessee will be responsible for the cost
associated with terminating CPCP, SSID and fleet leader tasks which are
not due within 3325 hours, 1000 cycles or 12 months. Bridging actions
required to make the Aircraft technically eligible for adding it to
Lessee's operations specifications will be accomplished prior to
delivery at Lessor's expense. The specific bridging program will be
agreed upon in writing (prior to February 15, 1997) between Lessor and
Lessee. Installed engines, APU and landing gear times shall be in
accordance with Schedule B hereof. The Aircraft will be airworthy and
in compliance with the manufacturer's original type certificate
specifications as revised up to the Delivery Date, including any
approved repairs or modifications, with appropriate maintenance
releases, and will be in compliance with the requirements for operation
in accordance with Lessee's FAA approved FAR Part 121 operations
specifications. The Aircraft
-15-
will be in compliance with all outstanding FARs and Airworthiness
Directives issued and published in the Federal Register prior to the
Delivery Date by the FAA affecting A300B4-200 aircraft, engines, or
components which by their terms have compliance dates either (i) on or
prior to the Delivery Date, or (ii) within twelve months thereafter
(or, if not requiring terminating action, to the limit of the next
applicable inspection period), all in accordance with the Maintenance
Program. The Aircraft will be painted in Lessee's colors and have
installed therein a full shipset of LD-3 cargo containers, galley
catering, loose equipment and emergency equipment as set forth in
Schedules E-1 and E-2 hereto. Additionally, Lessor shall have provided
an Avionics List as set forth in Schedule E-3, which shall list all
avionics and other aircraft equipment delivered with the Aircraft. If
Lessor can not deliver one full shipset of Loose Equipment, Lessee may
(with Lessor's consent) purchase the missing Loose Equipment and will
provide Lessor with an invoice. Lessor will reimburse Lessee for the
cost associated therewith. Lessee will only be reimbursed for the
acquisition of used equipment. Lessor shall be responsible for payment
of the cost of delivering the Aircraft in the condition set forth
herein and Schedules thereto, and shall pay for any additional work
required to reregister the Aircraft in the United States.
(a) Up to the Delivery Date: -
(x) the Maintenance Program shall include a corrosion program
based on the corrosion prevention, treatment and correction
criteria ("CPCP") established by the Manufacturer as set forth in
the appropriate Airbus Maintenance and Planning Document ("MPD")
and Structural Repair Manual ("SRM"). Cleaning and treating of
minor or moderate corrosion and correction of all severe or
exfoliated corrosion deferred by the Lessor or found by the Lessee
during the Lessee's ground inspection shall be accomplished by the
Lessor in accordance with such Manuals prior to the Delivery; and
-16-
(y) the Aircraft shall have all deferred maintenance items and
pilot log book reports or such other documents approved by the FAA
rectified on a terminating action basis, unless otherwise agreed
between Lessor and Lessee.
(b) Lessor shall permit representatives of Lessee to observe and
participate (without power to direct or control) in to the extent
necessary and reasonably practicable the performance of any work
involved with respect to the preparation of the Aircraft for Delivery.
(c) Lessor shall fuel the Aircraft (at its cost) prior to Lessee's
flight from the Delivery Location to the United States.
(iv) ACCEPTANCE OF DELIVERY. Upon completion of the (i) inspections and
acceptance flight demonstration set forth in Clause 2.2(ii); (ii) the
rectification of any deviations in the condition of the Aircraft from
those set forth in Schedules A, B, D, E-1 and X- 0 (or an agreement in
writing about the rectification of such deviations); (iii) the FAA has
issued a current and valid Certificate of Airworthiness; and (iv) the
Aircraft is technically immediately eligible for placement on Lessee's
operations specifications by the FAA and thereby immediately eligible
for operations in Lessee's scheduled revenue service, Lessee will cause
an officer or other duly authorized employee to execute a Lease
Supplement and Acceptance Certificate, substantially in the form of
Schedule B to this Agreement, to be dated the Delivery Date; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that Lessee shall not be required to accept the Aircraft
unless it is in the condition required under this Agreement. Lessee or
its counsel will immediately forward said Lease Supplement and
Acceptance Certificate to Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx, special FAA counsel in
Oklahoma City for filing with the FAA on the Delivery Date. Execution
and delivery of such Lease Supplement and Acceptance Certificate on
behalf of Lessee, without the necessity of any further act, shall
constitute presumptively
-17-
conclusive evidence that the Lessee has accepted the Aircraft for
purposes of the Lease.
(v) EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY. Without prejudice to Clause 8.1, so long as
Lessor shall not have been negligent in its efforts to tender the
delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee as and when required hereby, Lessor
shall not have any responsibility or liability to Lessee for, or
arising out of, any delay in the delivery of the Aircraft or any Part
thereof or for any damage incurred in the course of delivery except
when due to the willful misconduct of Lessor; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
in the event the Delivery Date does not occur within forty-five (45)
days of the Scheduled Delivery Date due to the non-conformity of the
Aircraft to the delivery requirements of this Clause 2, then Lessee
shall have no further obligation hereunder to Lease the Aircraft from
Lessor or otherwise to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby,
whereupon the Down Payment shall be promptly returned by Lessor to
Lessee.
(vi) CASUALTY TO THE AIRCRAFT PRECEDING DELIVERY. In the event the
Aircraft is lost or damaged beyond economical repair prior to the
Scheduled Delivery Date, Lessor shall immediately advise Lessee in
writing and the obligation to make the Aircraft available to the Lessee
shall terminate and that portion of the Security Deposit received by
Lessor shall be promptly returned by Lessor to Lessee.
CLAUSE 3. LEASE TERM
3.1 LEASE TERM. The Lease Term hereunder shall be initially for a period of
72 months commencing on the Delivery Date.
CLAUSE 4. BASIC RENT
4.1 BASIC RENT.
-18-
(i) During the Lease Term, Lessee shall, unless otherwise agreed in
writing, pay Basic Rent in the sum of US$139,000 in respect of each
Rent Payment Period in advance on each Rent Payment Date on which such
Rent Payment Period commences.
(ii) If Lessee shall fail to return the Aircraft to Lessor at the time
and in the condition required by this Lease (whether at the expiration
or any termination of Lessee's right to lease the Aircraft hereunder or
otherwise), then, in addition to any other right or remedy available to
Lessor in respect thereof, Lessee shall continue to pay Basic Rent,
pro-rated on a daily basis, for each day following the date on which
such return was required until such time as the Aircraft is returned to
Lessor and is in the condition required by this Lease. Lessee's
obligation under the preceding sentence shall survive the termination
or any expiration of this Lease.
4.2 [THIS CLAUSE IS RESERVED].
4.3 [THIS CLAUSE IS RESERVED].

During the Lease Term, the Maintenance Payments specified in subdivisions
(ii) and (vi) of this Clause 5.2 shall be paid monthly in advance with respect
to each Rent Payment Period on the Rent Payment Date on which such Rent Payment
Period commences. The Maintenance Payments specified in subdivisions (i), (iii),
(iv), (v) and (vii) of this Clause 5.2 shall be paid monthly in arrears on the
date on which the monthly report described in Clause 13.2 is due; provided,
however, that the number of Flight Hours upon which each such payment is
calculated shall not in any case be less than 150 unless the Aircraft is
grounded solely for the performance of the maintenance described above.
ING on behalf of Lessor shall keep a record of the amounts deposited into
and withdrawn from the maintenance reserve allocations specified above, but
nothing herein shall require ING to maintain separate bank accounts for all or
any part of any such allocation or account.
In lieu of the Maintenance Payments set forth in this Clause 5.2, Lessee
may, at its option exercisable at any time during the Lease Term, furnish Lessor
with a guarantee from a guarantor acceptable to Lessor or a letter of credit on
a bank or other financial institution upon terms and conditions reasonably
acceptable to Lessor.
5.3 ADJUSTMENT TO MAINTENANCE PAYMENTS. With regard to the Maintenance
Payment set forth in subdivision (iv) of Clause 5.2 with respect to the
Engines, the following will apply: Lessee shall pay to Lessor USD$ 210
per Engine Flight Hour based on an average yearly Ambient Temperature
of equal or below 75 Degrees F and an hours/cycles ratio equal to or
higher than 3:1. Annually on the first and each subsequent anniversary
of the Delivery Date,
-22-
(i) this average Ambient Temperature will be reconciled against average
monthly temperatures for the preceding 12-month period at the
outstation actually utilized by Lessee, by the method of adding average
Ambient Temperatures per take-off and dividing by the total number of
flights and (ii) this hours/cycles ratio will be reconciled with the
actual hours and cycles flown during the preceding 12-month period. If
the actual average Ambient Temperature so calculated exceeds 75 Degrees
F, and/or if the actual hours/cycles ratio so calculated is less than
3:1, such Maintenance Payment shall be recalculated in accordance with
Table 1 below, and Lessee shall immediately upon demand pay the
difference between the actual monies paid by Lessee for such period and
such recalculated Maintenance Payment. Lessee shall provide Lessor, on
an annual basis, with its projections of the hours/cycles ratio for the
next succeeding period of twelve months.

5.4 (i) Conditions Precedent to Reimbursement for Eligible Claims. Lessor's
obligation to pay or reimburse Lessee for any Eligible Claims in
respect of the maintenance processes referred to in Clause 5.2 is
subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(a) before any work with respect to such Eligible Claim is performed,
Lessee shall submit in writing to Lessor the proposed workscope and
estimated cost therefor; should Lessor object to the workscope, cost or
entity, then the parties shall consult as soon as possible to resolve
the issue. If the parties cannot resolve the issue as to workscope,
then such issue shall be presented to the Manufacturer or Engine
Manufacturer for its decision as to the correct workscope.
(b) if Lessor agrees that such workscope and cost are reasonable,
Lessor shall so notify Lessee thereof within 5 Business Days after
Lessor's receipt of Lessee's written submission;
(c) any work performed that is beyond the Maintenance Program shall be
at Lessee's expense and shall not be payable out of the reserves;
(d) after Lessor and Lessee agree on the reasonableness of such
workscope and cost, Lessee shall have the work with respect to such
Eligible Claim performed in accordance therewith; and
(e) following completion of the work with respect to such Eligible
Claim, Lessee shall present to Lessor all original work-sheets,
invoices, vouchers and/or receipts with respect thereto and such other
evidence of and information relating to the performance of such work as
Lessor may reasonably request.
-24-
(ii) CREDITS AND PAYMENTS FROM RESERVE ACCOUNTS. Effective on the
Delivery Date, Lessor shall credit the Maintenance Reserve Account
maintained under clause 5.1(ii) ("D-Check") (excluding any amounts
associated with CPCP) and clause 5.1(vi) (landing gear overhauls) with
an amount based upon the Flight Hours, months or cycles, as
appropriate, accumulated on the Landing Gear (but not on any Engine or
APU, mid D-Check or C-Check) during the period from the date of the
last overhaul thereof to the Delivery Date (as determined from the
relevant logs and records of the prior operators thereof); provided,
however, that the relevant Maintenance Reserve Account shall be
credited for the Flight Hours accumulated on the hard time controlled
items listed on Schedule J during the period from the date of the last
overhaul thereof to the Delivery Date, as specified in such Schedule.
Any credit to a Maintenance Reserve Account pursuant to this clause
(ii) shall be calculated as follows:
Pre-Delivery Usage
Credit = __________________________________
Actual Time/Cycles Between Overhaul
where:
"PRE-DELIVERY USAGE" is the Flight Hours, months or cycles, as
appropriate, accumulated during the period from the date of the last
overhaul to the Delivery Date; and
"ACTUAL TIME/CYCLES BETWEEN OVERHAUL" is the aggregate number
of Flight Hours, months or cycles, as appropriate, actually
accumulated at the time of overhaul under Lessee's Maintenance
Program. The amount of such credit shall be determined by Lessor and
shall be binding and conclusive, absent manifest error.
-25-
Within 10 Business Days after receipt of the supporting
documentation referred to in Clause 5.4(i)(e) above, Lessor will pay
the amount of such Eligible Claim to the extent of, and by making a
drawdown against, the amount then in the applicable reserve account.
In the event that the amount of such Eligible Claim exceeds the
balance then in the relevant maintenance reserve account, Lessee
shall be responsible for the payment of such excess.
In connection with Lessee's performance of a "D-Check", amounts
shall be available to Lessee in respect of Eligible Claims for such
"D-Check" from the Maintenance Reserve Account maintained under
clause 5.1(ii) ("D-Check") and clause 5.1(iii) ("Mid D-Check").
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this
Lease, (x) in no event shall Lessor be obligated to pay any amounts
with respect to Eligible Claims (whether out of the applicable
reserve account or otherwise) so long as a Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, (y) the Maintenance Reserve Payments
constitute Supplemental Rent due from Lessee to Lessor as
compensation for wear and tear on the Aircraft and Lessee shall have
no right, claim or interest therein (except for Lessee's right to
reimbursement for Eligible Claims described above and as provided in
Clause 11.1 hereof), and (z) any amounts paid or credited to a
maintenance reserve account upon termination of this Lease for any
reason shall remain the property of the Lessor and, except as
provided in the next paragraph and in Clause 11.1 hereof, in no
event shall Lessor be obligated to return any such amounts to
Lessee.
If during the four month period prior to the date on which Lessee is
required to redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor hereunder on the
Expiration Date, Lessee shall desire or propose to perform a
"D-Check" on the Aircraft in lieu of the "C-Check" required at
re-delivery which "D-Check" is not then required or scheduled to be
performed before such re-delivery date pursuant to Lessee's
Maintenance Program, then Lessee
-26-
shall notify Lessor of such desire and state in such notice that
such "D-Check" is not so required. Lessor shall have a period of 15
days following its receipt of such notice to object to such proposal
and to notify Lessee that such "D-Check" is not to be performed, in
which case Lessee shall not perform such "D-Check". If (i) Lessor
shall not object to Lessee's proposal to perform such D-Check, (ii)
Lessee shall duly complete such "D-Check" as proposed and in the
manner required by Lessee's Maintenance Program and the applicable
manufacturer's maintenance program prior to the required re-delivery
date, and (iii) the amount then available at the time of the
completion of the applicable maintenance check in the related
Maintenance Reserve Account for "D-Checks" exceeds the cost of such
"D-Check" that constitutes an Eligible Claim (such excess, an
"Account Excess"), then, so long as no Default shall exist, Lessor
shall remit such Account Excess to Lessee in cash promptly following
Lessee's re-delivery of the Aircraft in compliance with the terms
hereof.
If Lessor shall object to Lessee's performance of such "D-Check"
then, for purposes of determining the Account Excess (as provided
above), the cost of such "D-Check" that constitutes an "Eligible
Claim" shall be the estimated invoice amount for such "D-Check",
which estimate shall be based upon the actual cost of the next
applicable "D-Check" scheduled in 2000.
(iii) FOREIGN OBJECT DAMAGE GENERATED SHOP VISIT. For the avoidance of
doubt, any work done on an Engine during a foreign object damage
generated shop visit in accordance with the Maintenance Program for
that Engine which is not directly a result of the foreign object damage
incident but otherwise qualifies as an Eligible Claim shall be
considered an Eligible Claim. Work required in connection with foreign
object damage shall be deemed not to constitute an Eligible Claim.
-27-

AVN67B) such conflicting or inconsistent provision of AVN67B shall
prevail and such endorsement shall be deemed to satisfy the
requirements of this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the parties
agree that the terms of AVN 67B constitute part of the insurance
contracts between Lessee and its underwriters and shall not affect any
agreement between Lessor and Lessee in this Agreement relating to such
parties' agreement as to the retention or application of any insurance
proceeds.
10.4 LESSEE TO PURSUE CLAIMS. After an Event of Loss in relation to the
Aircraft shall have occurred, Lessee shall diligently pursue or cause
to be pursued, in concert with Lessor and ING, any and all claims
against the insurers in respect of the insurance (including any
required re-insurance) with respect to the Aircraft, subject to
consultation with Lessor and ING and such other persons as may be
stipulated by Lessor and ING.
-48-
10.5 CHANGE IN INSURANCE PRACTICE. In the event that there is a change in
the generally accepted industry-wide practice with regard to the
insurance of aircraft (whether relating to all or any of the types of
insurance required to be effected under the foregoing provisions of
this Clause 10) such that Lessor shall be of the reasonable opinion
that the insurance required pursuant to the provisions of this Clause
10 is insufficient to protect the interests of Lessor or ING, the
insurance requirements set forth in this Clause 10 shall, if specified
by Lessor, be varied so as to include such additional or varied
requirements as may be necessary to ensure that the insurance as so
varied shall provide substantially the same protection to Lessor and
ING as it would have done if such change in the generally accepted
industry-wide practice had not occurred.
10.6 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS ARISING ON EVENT OF LOSS. As between Lessor and
Lessee it is agreed that all insurance payments or any other sums
received as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss with
respect to the Aircraft or the Airframe shall be applied to the benefit
of Lessor and ING and such other persons having an interest in the
Aircraft as may be stipulated by Lessor and any excess shall be applied
in reduction of Lessee's obligation to pay the amounts required to be
paid by Lessee pursuant to Clause 11.1, if not already paid by Lessee,
or, if already paid by Lessee, shall be applied to reimburse Lessee for
its payment of such amount.
10.7 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS ARISING OTHER THAN ON AN EVENT OF LOSS. The
insurance payments for any property damage loss to the Airframe or any
Engine not constituting an Event of Loss, or to any Part, will be
deposited with Lessor and applied in payment of repairs or for
replacement property, and Lessee shall furnish Lessor with reasonably
satisfactory evidence that the repairs or replacement property that
Lessee is required to perform or obtain in accordance with the terms of
Clause 13 have already been paid for or obtained by Lessee. Upon
receipt of such evidence of repair or replacement, Lessor shall
promptly pay or reimburse Lessee for the amount of such insurance
payment received by Lessor with respect to such loss.
-49-
10.8 RETENTION OF PROCEEDS BY LESSOR FOLLOWING DEFAULT. As between Lessor
and Lessee, any amount referred to in Clause 10.6 or 10.7 which is
otherwise payable to Lessee shall not be paid to Lessee, or, if it has
been previously paid to Lessee, shall be delivered by Lessee to Lessor
for retention or application by Lessor if at the time of such payment a
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. In
either case, all such amounts shall be held by Lessor as security for
the obligations of Lessee or, at the option of Lessor, applied by
Lessor toward payment of any of Lessee's obligations at the time due
hereunder. At such time as there shall not be continuing any such
Default or Event of Default, all such amounts at the time held by
Lessor in excess of the amount, if any, which Lessor has elected for
application as provided above shall be paid to Lessee.
10.9 LESSOR AND LESSEE MAY ADDITIONALLY INSURE. Each of Lessor, ING and
Lessee may carry at its own expense additional insurance with respect
to its own interests in the Aircraft provided that such insurance does
not adversely affect the coverage required to be maintained hereunder
by Lessee or the cost thereof, or shall have the effect of suspending,
impairing, defeating or invalidating or rendering unenforceable or
reducing, in whole or in part, the coverage of or the proceeds payable
under any insurance required to be provided and maintained by Lessee.
Any insurance payments received from policies maintained by Lessor or
ING shall be retained by Lessor or ING without reducing or otherwise
affecting Lessee's obligations hereunder.
10.10 COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AS TO INSURANCE. Throughout the term
of this Agreement Lessee shall comply with all legal requirements as to
the insurance of the Aircraft which may from time be imposed by the
laws of the State of Registration and of any other jurisdiction to,
from or over which the Aircraft shall be flown insofar as they affect
or concern the operation of the Aircraft.
10.11 LESSOR ENTITLED TO PROVIDE INSURANCES IN DEFAULT BY LESSEE. If the
insurance (including any required re-insurance) required under this
Clause 10 is not kept in full force and effect Lessor or ING without
prejudice to any other rights it may have on the occurrence of a
Default shall
-50-
be entitled (but not bound) at any time to provide such insurance and
in such event Lessee shall, upon demand, reimburse Lessor for the cost
thereof together with interest thereon at the rate specified in Clause
6.3 from the date of the occurrence of a Default until payment on the
occurrence of a Default Lessor or ING shall be entitled to require the
Aircraft to remain at an airport or, as the case may be, to proceed to
and remain at an airport designated by Lessor or ING until the
insurance required under this Clause 10 is in full force and effect.
Such provision of insurance by Lessor shall not affect Lessor's right
to treat such failure by Lessee as a Default.
10.12 NEGOTIATIONS FOR RENEWAL. Lessee shall begin final negotiations for the
renewal of each required policy prior to its expiry. Prior to expiry of
any required policy, Lessee shall provide Lessor with written
confirmation of completion or renewal of such policy, with
certification thereof to be issued by the relevant insurance broker
within seven (7) Business Days thereafter.
10.13 (i) INFORMATION. In addition to the information provided pursuant to
Clause 10.12 and without prejudice thereto, Lessee shall furnish to
Lessor:
(a) on request and pursuant to a written confidentiality agreement,
certified copies of all documents constituting, evidencing or
regulating the terms of any required policy;
(b) on request, evidence of payment by or, at the direction of
Lessee, each sum payable under or in connection with any required
policy; and
(c) on request, such evidence as Lessor may require of Lessee's
compliance with its obligations under this Clause 10.
(ii) NOTIFICATION OF CLAIM EVENTS. Lessee shall forthwith notify Lessor
of any event (including but not limited to an Event of Loss) which will
or may give rise to a claim
-51-
under any required policy in excess of USD$ 50,000 and shall not
(without the prior written consent of Lessor) settle or permit the
settlement of any claim arising under a required policy unless it
arises under a direct damage policy and is for less than USD$250,000.
(iii) Provision of Insurance Certificate and Broker's Undertaking.
Lessee shall before the Delivery Date, at its own cost and expense,
cause the relevant insurance and reinsurance broker or, if appropriate,
the relevant insurers to issue (a) a certificate of insurance or
reinsurance, as the case may be, confirming the procurement and effect
of the policies required by this Clause 10, and (b) a written
undertaking in favor of Lessor in form and substance acceptable to
Lessor, in which (among other things) such broker confirms that (a) it
has read the provisions of this Clause 10, that the terms of Lessee's
insurance policies comply with the requirements of this Clause 10, and
(b) that such broker will notify the Additional Named Insureds of any
cancellation, termination or material change in any such policy at
least 30 days from the date of notice from the insurers (other than in
the case of war risks coverage, in which case such prior notice shall
be given in accordance with industry standard practice relating to
notice of change in war risks cover); and (c) that the broker is
authorized to issue certificates of insurance; and (d) that coverages
are in full force; and (e) that premium is paid.
10.14 LESSEE NOT TO PREJUDICE INSURANCE. Without prejudice to Clause 13.10,
Lessee shall not:
(i) do or omit to do or permit to be done or left undone anything
whereby any required policy would or might be expected to be rendered
in whole or in part invalid or unenforceable; or
(ii) cause or permit the Aircraft or any part thereof to be employed in
any place or in any manner or for any purpose inconsistent with the
terms of any required policy; or
-52-
(iii) create or permit to exist any Lien (save only as may be created
by Lessor or by Lessee in favor of Lessor) over the insurances taken
out in respect of the Aircraft, or its interests therein.
10.15 CURRENCY. All insurance pursuant to this Agreement will be payable in
Dollars except as may be otherwise agreed by the Lessor; provided,
however, that the insurance as to liability claims will be payable in
the settlement currency agreed in any action relating to such claim.
CLAUSE 11. EVENT OF LOSS
11.1 Event of Loss With Respect to Aircraft. Upon the occurrence of an Event
of Loss with res pect to the Aircraft, Lessee shall forthwith (and, in
any event, within two (2) Business Days after such occurrence) give
Lessor written notice of such Event of Loss and shall pay to Lessor on
the sixtieth (60th) day following the occurrence of such Event of Loss
or, if the insurance or other proceeds have been paid for such Event of
Loss before such 60th day, upon receipt of such proceeds, the
Stipulated Loss Value and all other sums (if any) then due and payable
hereunder by Lessee to Lessor; provided further that during the period
from the occurrence of such an Event of Loss and ending on the date
that Lessee complies with its obligations under this Clause 11.1 the
Lease Term shall continue and, therefore, the Aircraft shall be deemed
to be continued to be leased by Lessor to Lessee hereunder and Lessee
shall continue to pay Rent in accordance with Clause 4.
At such time as Lessor shall have been paid the Stipulated Loss Value
and all other sums (if any) then due and payable by Lessee to Lessor as
required under this Clause 11.1, Lessee shall be immediately entitled
to receive and Lessor shall pay to Lessee fifty percent (50%) of the
amount in the Maintenance Reserve Accounts in respect of the
maintenance processes referred to in subdivisions (i), (ii), (iii) and
(vi) of Clause 5.1. Any such payment shall be limited to amounts
actually contributed by Lessee and paid into such Maintenance Reserve
Accounts and Lessor shall transfer to Lessee or to Lessee's designee,
on an "as-is, where-is" basis but otherwise without recourse or
warranty except that such title shall be free and clear
-53-
of all Lessor Liens, all of such rights, title and interest as Lessor
may have in and to the Aircraft, as well as all of Lessor's right,
title and interest in and to any Engine constituting part of the
Aircraft but not installed thereon at the time of loss, free and clear
of Lessor Liens, and Lessor shall, at Lessee's expense, execute and
deliver such bills of sale and other docu ments and instruments as
Lessee shall reasonably request to evidence (on the public record or
otherwise) such transfer and the vesting of such right, title and
interest in and to the Aircraft in Lessee. On compliance by Lessor of
its obligations under this Clause 11.1 the Lease Term shall be deemed
to terminate and Lessee shall thereupon no longer be obliged to pay
Rent in respect of the Aircraft pursuant to Clause 4.
11.2 EVENT OF LOSS WITH RESPECT TO ENGINE. Upon the occurrence (or deemed
occurrence pursuant hereto) of an Event of Loss with respect to an
Engine under circumstances in which there has not occurred an Event of
Loss with respect to the Aircraft or Airframe Lessee shall give or
cause to be given to Lessor written notice promptly after becoming
aware thereof and shall, within thirty (30) days after the occurrence
of such Event of Loss, convey or cause to be conveyed to Lessor or its
designee, as replacement for such Engine, full title, free and clear of
all Liens other than Permitted Liens, an engine of the same or an
improved model and suitable for use on the Aircraft or Airframe, but
having a value and utility at least equal to, and being in as good
operating condition as, including the same or fewer hours or Cycles (or
an equivalent combination of hours and Cycles) accumulated on such
engine, the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred
(assuming that such Engine was in the condition and repair required by
the terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of
Loss). Prior to or at the time of any such conveyance, Lessee at its
own expense, will:
(i) furnish Lessor with such bills of sale and other documents and
instruments as Lessor shall reasonably request to evidence (on the
public record or otherwise) the interest of Lessor in such Replacement
Engine;
-54-
(ii) execute a supplement to this Lease confirming that such
Replacement Engine is subject to this Lease;
(iii) furnish Lessor with a favorable opinion of Lessee's counsel to
the effect that good and marketable title to such Replacement Engine
has been vested in Lessor; and
(iv) furnish Lessor with a certificate of an aircraft engineer (who may
be an employee of Lessee) certifying that such Replacement Engine has a
value and utility at least equal to, and is in as good operating
condition, including no greater number of hours or Cycles accumulated
on such Engine, as the Engine so replaced assuming such Engine was in
the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior
to the occurrence of such Event of Loss.
Lessee shall, in addition to other liabilities arising in connection hereunder,
reimburse Lessor for any legal fees and disbursements incurred by Lessor in
analyzing, monitoring and enforcing Lessor's rights and remedies in connection
with such Event of Loss.
For all purposes hereof such Replacement Engine shall, after such transfer, be
deemed part of the property leased hereunder and shall be deemed an Engine as
defined herein.
11.3 TRANSFER OF TITLE TO REPLACED ENGINE TO LESSEE. Upon full compliance by
Lessee with the terms of Clause 11.2, Lessor shall, without further
act, be deemed to have transferred to Lessee or to Lessee's designee,
title to the Engine with respect to which the Event of Loss has
occurred (the "REPLACED ENGINE"), on an "AS IS, WHERE IS" basis but
otherwise without recourse or warranty except that such title shall be
free and clear of Lessor Liens. At Lessee's request and expense, Lessor
shall execute and deliver such bills of sale and other documents and
instruments as Lessee shall reasonably request to evidence (on the
public record or otherwise) such transfer and the vesting of such
right, title and interest in and to such Replaced Engine in Lessee.
-55-
CLAUSE 12. REGISTRATION
12.1 REGISTRATION. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall (i) not take
or permit any action inconsistent with the Aircraft remaining duly
certified as to airworthiness at all times after the Delivery Date in
accordance with the laws of the United States; (ii) not take or permit
any action inconsistent with the continued registration of the Aircraft
at all times after the Delivery Date in the name of the Lessor as sole
owner thereof, (iii) cause this Lease to be duly filed and registered
with the FAA and with all other applicable governmental authorities
that may be necessary or advisable in order to protect and maintain the
rights and interests of Lessor hereunder and in the Aircraft, and (iv)
not register or allow the Aircraft to be registered in any other way or
manner under the laws of any other country. Lessee shall not take or
permit any action which would not maintain in full force and effect all
certifications and registrations referred to in Clauses 12.1(i), (ii)
and (iii) throughout the Lease Term.
CLAUSE 13. MAINTENANCE, REPORTING, REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT,
ALTERATIONS, POSSESSION, OPERATION, ETC.
13.1 MAINTENANCE.
(i) GENERAL OBLIGATIONS. During the Lease Term and until the Aircraft
is returned to Lessor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
Lessee alone has the obligation, at its sole expense, to maintain and
repair or cause an Independent Maintenance Contractor to maintain and
repair the Airframe, Engines and all of the Parts in accordance with
(a) the Maintenance Program; (b) the rules and regulations of the FAA;
(c) the requirement to maintain a full certificate of airworthiness
from the FAA for the Aircraft; to maintain the eligibility of the
Aircraft at all times during the Lease Term and upon return of the
Aircraft to Lessor in accordance herewith for issue of a certificate of
airworthiness for passenger category aircraft issued by the FAA and (d)
(if applicable) in the same manner and with the same care as used by
-56-
the Lessee with respect to similar aircraft and engines operated by the
Lessee and without in any way discriminating against the Aircraft.
(ii) INDEPENDENT MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR. The obligations of Lessee to
maintain the aircraft contained in this Clause 13.1 shall be performed
by either Lessee or by an Independent Maintenance Contractor retained
at Lessee's sole expense.
(iii) MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that the
Aircraft will be maintained in accordance with an FAA approved
maintenance program.
(iv) SPECIFIC OBLIGATIONS. Without limitation to Clause 13.1(i), Lessee
agrees that its maintenance and repair obligations hereunder will
include (but will not be limited to) each of the following specific
items:
(a) performance in accordance with the Maintenance Program of all
routine and non-routine maintenance work, including on-line
maintenance on the Aircraft;
(b) incorporation in the Aircraft (including the Engines and all
Parts) of all airworthiness directives of the FAA issued during the
Lease Term and requiring compliance or terminating action prior to
the first anniversary following the Expiration Date;
(c) without prejudice to Clause 13.1(iv)(b), incorporation in the
Aircraft of all service bulletins of the Manufacturer, the Engine
manufacturer and other vendors which the Lessee schedules to adopt
during the Lease Term for the rest of its aircraft fleet. The
Lessee agrees not to discriminate against the Aircraft vis-a-vis
the rest of the Lessee's fleet in service bulletin compliance or
other maintenance matters;
-57-
(d) incorporation in the maintenance schedule for the Aircraft of a
full corrosion control program, SSID and sampling programs or any
other maintenance program, as required by the Manufacturer and
mandated by the FAA; and
(e) proper maintenance of all Aircraft Documentation, including
recording the number of Block Hours, Flight Hours and Cycles the
Aircraft and Engines operate and all maintenance and repairs
performed thereon. Hard copies of such Aircraft Documentation shall
be maintained in English.
Promptly, and in any event before April 1, 1997, Lessee shall cause
the Engines to be subjected to the Aviall Engine Maintenance and
Pooling Contract (the "ENGINE POOL") and Lessor shall be
responsible for the cost of phasing the Engines into the Engine
Pool. During the Lease Term, Lessee may propose to Lessor that the
Engines be subjected to an alternative maintenance and pooling
contract throughout the remaining Lease Term and if such
alternative contract is acceptable to Lessor (which will be
confirmed in writing), Lessee may, at its own cost and expense,
cause the Engines to be subjected to such alternative contract.
13.2 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND PROVISION OF INFORMATION. Commencing with a
report furnished not later than the 10th Business Day following the end
of each calendar month, Lessee shall furnish to ING a report in the
form of Schedule G, which shall include for such calendar month (i) the
hours/cycles accumulated on the Airframe, (ii) the hours/cycles
accumulated on each Engine (and its location by airframe or storage or
maintenance facility), and (iii) on a quarterly basis, a list of those
service bulletins, airworthiness directives and engineering
modifications incorporated on the Aircraft during the preceding
quarter.
Furthermore, during the term of this Agreement, Lessee shall also
furnish to Lessor such additional information obtained from records
Lessee customarily maintains concerning the location, condition, use
and operation of the Aircraft as Lessor may reasonably request from
time to time.
-58-
13.3 REMOVAL OF ENGINES. If an Engine is removed for testing, service,
repair, maintenance, overhaul work, alterations or modifications, title
to such Engine will at all times remain vested in Lessor.
Lessee will be entitled (but only for reasons of maintenance or repair)
to remove any of the Engines from the Aircraft and install another
engine or engines on the Aircraft, provided that Lessee complies with
each of the following obligations:
(i) Lessee may only install CF6-50C2 engines on the Aircraft;
(ii) the insurance requirements set forth in Clause 10 are in place in
respect of such removed Engine;
(iii) Lessee shall ensure that the identification plates referred to in
Clause 13.11 are not removed from such removed Engine upon such Engine
being detached from the Aircraft; and
(iv) title to such removed Engine remains with Lessor free from all
Liens (except Permitted Liens) regardless of the location of the Engine
or its attachment to or detachment from the Aircraft.
13.4 REPLACEMENT OF PARTS.
(i) LESSEE'S OBLIGATION TO REPLACE PARTS. Lessee, at its own cost and
expense, shall promptly replace or cause to be replaced by the
Independent Maintenance Contractor all Parts which may from time to
time be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any
Engine and which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen,
destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently
rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever. In addition, Lessee
may, at its own
-59-
cost and expense, remove in the ordinary course of maintenance,
service, repair, overhaul or testing, any Parts, whether or not worn
out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond
repair or permanently rendered unfit for use; provided that, with
respect to any installed part with respect to which title is not vested
in Lessor at the time of installation (as hereinbelow provided), Lessee
shall, at its own cost and expense, replace such parts as promptly as
possible in the manner contemplated by clauses (ii) and (iii) below.
(ii) CONDITION OF REPLACEMENT PARTS. All replacement Parts shall be
free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens and shall be in
as good operating condition as, and shall have a value and utility at
least equal to, the Parts replaced assuming such replaced Parts were in
the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof.
(iii) TITLE TO REPLACEMENT AND REPLACED PARTS. All Parts at any time
removed from the Airframe or any Engine shall remain the property of
Lessor, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts shall be
replaced by parts which are owned by Lessee free and clear of any Liens
and which have been incorporated or installed in or attached to the
Airframe or such Engine and which meet the requirements for replacement
Parts specified above. Immediately upon any replacement Parts becoming
incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine
as above provided, without further act:
(a) title to the replaced or removed Parts shall thereupon vest in
Lessee, free and clear of all Lessor Liens, and shall no longer be
deemed Parts hereunder;
(b) title to such replacement or installed Parts shall thereupon vest
in Lessor; and
(c) such replacement Parts shall become subject to this Agreement and
be deemed part of the Airframe or such Engine for all purposes hereof
to the
-60-
same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or
attached to the Airframe or such Engine.
13.5 REPLACEMENT ENGINES. Lessee shall be entitled (subject to Clause 13.3),
so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to install
any engine on the Airframe or any part on the Airframe or any Engine by
way of substitution, replacement, renewal or mandatory modification
(notwithstanding that such installation is not in accordance with
Clause 13.3) in circumstances where:
(i) there shall not have been available to Lessee at the time and in
the place that such engine or other part was required to be installed
on the Airframe or, as the case may be, any Engine, a substitute or
replacement engine or part complying with the requirements of Clause
13.3; and
(ii) it would have resulted in an unreasonable disruption of the
operation of the Aircraft or the business of Lessee as an airline or
would have grounded the Aircraft if Lessee had deferred such
installation until such time as an engine or part complying with the
requirements of Clause 13.3 became available for installation in the
Aircraft.
In the case of either (i) or (ii) above, as soon as practicable after
installation of the same on the Airframe or, as the case may be, such
Engine, Lessee shall remove any such engine or part not complying with
the requirements of Clause 13.3 and replace or substitute the same with
an engine or part complying with the requirements of Clause 13.3. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any replacement engine or part is owned
by Lessor such replacement engine or part and the Engine or the Part
replaced thereby shall be and remain the property of Lessor. Lessee
shall assist Lessor in all reasonable respects to preserve, store,
overhaul or dispose of such replaced Parts, all as may be reasonably
directed by Lessor.
13.6 ALTERATIONS. Lessee, at its own cost and expense:
-61-
(i) may make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in
and additions to the Airframe or any Engine as Lessee may reasonably
deem desirable in the furtherance of any recommendations from time to
time of the Manufacturer and the engine manufacturer and the standards
of the FAA, or to comply with any law, rule, directive, bulletin,
regulation or order of any governmental entity, and
(ii) may from time to time make such alterations and modifications in
and additions to the Airframe or any Engine as Lessee may deem
desirable in the proper conduct of its business; provided, however,
that no such alteration, modification or addition shall diminish the
value or utility of the Airframe or such Engine, or impair the
condition or airworthiness thereof, below the value, utility, condition
and airworthiness thereof immediately prior to such alteration,
modification or addition assuming the Airframe or such Engine was then
of the value or utility and in the condition and airworthiness required
to be maintained by the terms of this Agreement provided further that
no such alteration, modification, or addition with an estimated cost in
excess of $25,000 shall be made pursuant to this Clause 13.6(ii)
without the prior written consent of Lessor.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, at its sole cost and
expense modify the interior layout of the Aircraft; provided, however,
that such modification has, in the opinion of the Lessor, no material
adverse effect on the value of the Aircraft.
Except as otherwise provided in this Clause 13.6, title to all Parts
incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or
such Engine as the result of such alteration, modification or addition
shall, without further act, vest in Lessor. Upon transfer of title to
Lessor of the installed Parts title to all Parts replaced or removed
from the Airframe or such Engine as the result of such alteration,
modification or addition shall vest in Lessee, free and clear of all
Lessor Liens, and shall no longer be deemed Parts hereunder.
-62-
Nothing herein shall permit Lessee to (and Lessee shall not) make any
modification or alteration that shall require the permanent removal of
any Part that is not replaced with a replacement part (with title
vested in Lessor as provided above).
13.7 LIABILITY FOR COST OF ALTERATIONS; AD COST SHARING.
(i) As used in this Clause, the following terms have the respective
meanings set forth below:
"APPLICABLE REMAINING LEASE PERIOD" means the number of days
remaining in the Lease Term.
"AD CALCULATION PERIOD" means with respect to any airworthiness
directive or mandatory service bulletin with respect to which the
cost of compliance is less than $250,000 the AD Calculation Period
will be with 1,825 days. In case the costs of compliance exceed
US$250,000 the AD Calculation Period will be 2,920 days.
"THRESHOLD AMOUNT" means US$62,000.
(ii) Lessor shall in no event bear any liability or cost for any
alteration, modification, addition, or for any grounding or suspension
of certification of the Aircraft or for loss of revenue; provided,
however, that if the total cost (including material and labor) of
compliance with any single airworthiness directive or mandatory service
bulletin, which, in either case, is issued during the Lease Term and
requires terminating action either (i) during the Lease Term or (ii)
during the one-year period immediately following expiration of the
Lease Term (such cost, the "AD Cost") exceeds the Threshold Amount,
then (a) Lessee shall furnish Lessor with an estimate of the work and
such costs relating thereto required to comply therewith, and (b)
Lessee and Lessor shall share such AD Cost in the following manner:
Lessee shall bear and pay
-63-
the Threshold Amount of such AD Cost. Lessee shall bear and pay the
amount of such AD Cost in excess of the Threshold Amount calculated as
follows:
(1) Amount of such AD Cost in excess of the Threshold Amount
divided by the lesser of (x) the AD Calculation Period or (y) the
useful life of the alteration, modification or addition in question
(if specified in the airworthiness directive or mandatory service
bulletin in question), expressed in days
multiplied by
(2) the Applicable Remaining Lease Period after the date of
completion of work to comply with such airworthiness directive or
service bulletin;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall Lessee be required to pay
more than 100% of such excess.
Lessee shall bear and pay the aggregate AD Cost described above, and,
within 15 days following Lessor's receipt from Lessee of appropriate
invoices for the work relating thereto, Lessor shall reimburse Lessee
for Lessor's share of the AD Cost. Lessee shall give Lessor prior
written notice of any such airworthiness directive or mandatory service
bulletin before commencing any alteration, modification or addition of
or to the Aircraft with respect thereto. Any work that is performed by
Lessee with respect to any such airworthiness directive or mandatory
service bulletin shall be billed at Lessee's true out-of-pocket cost
and without any xxxx-up in the cost of labor or materials.
13.8 POSSESSION OF AIRCRAFT; SUBLEASE OF AIRCRAFT. Lessee shall not (save as
otherwise expressly provided in this Clause 13.8 or in Clause 13.9
below), without the prior written consent of
-64-
Lessor, sublease or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer or
relinquish possession of the Airframe or any Engine or install any
Engine, or permit any Engine to be installed, on any airframe other
than the Airframe. With respect to any transfer of possession pursuant
to this Clause 13.8:
(i) Lessee shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance
of all of the terms of this Lease to the same extent as if such
transfer had not occurred, and no sublease or other relinquishment of
possession of the Aircraft shall in any way discharge or diminish any
of Lessee's obligations to Lessor under this Lease or any of Lessor's
rights hereunder and such rights shall continue as if such sublease or
transfer had not occurred;
(ii) The term of any sublease (including, without limitation, any
option of the sublessee to renew or extend the sublease) or pooling
arrangement shall not continue beyond the end of the Lease Term;
(iii) any sublease permitted by this Clause 13.8 shall in addition
expressly provide that (v) such sublease is subject and subordinate to
all of the terms of this Lease and all rights of Lessor under this
Lease, including without limitation, Lessor's rights to repossession
pursuant to Clause 17 and to void such sublessee's right to possession
upon such repossession, whether or not any default has occurred or
exists under such sublease, (w) such sublessee consents to the security
assignment by Lessee to Lessor of all of Lessee's right, title and
interest in such sublease for purposes of securing Lessee's obligations
hereunder and such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from
Lessor that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, will
make all payments under such sublease to, and, if this Lease has been
declared in default pursuant to Clause 17 hereof, will return the
Aircraft only to, Lessor, or as directed by Lessor, for so long as such
Event of Default shall continue, (x) the maintenance, operation and
insurance provisions of such sublease shall be substantially the same
as the provisions of this Lease (whether by requiring such obligations
to be
-65-
performed by such sublessee, by Lessee or by both), (y) the Aircraft
shall not be operated or used other than as provided in this Lease, (z)
the Lessor may void or terminate such sublease following an Event of
Default hereunder and (zz) such sublease shall be governed by New York
law;
(iv) prior to the commencement of any sublease, Lessee shall give
Lessor written notice of the proposed sublease of the Aircraft, which
notice shall include the identity of the sublessee, the term and rental
rate of the sublease and a copy of such sublease;
(v) any such sublease shall expressly prohibit any assignment, further
sublease of the Aircraft and any of the rights under such sublease; and
(vi) any consent by Lessor to any sublease pursuant to this Clause 13.8
may be revoked by Lessor if the executed sublease contains terms which
have not been expressly approved by Lessor, and in the event that
Lessor's consent is revoked pursuant to this Clause 13.8(vi), the
sublease shall automatically be terminated.
At least ten days prior to entering into any sublease of the Aircraft
to a sublessee, Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor an
assignment of and grant of a security interest in all of Lessee's
right, title and interest in such sublease, which assignment shall be
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. In connection
with such a sublease of the Aircraft, Lessee shall provide to Lessor,
at Lessee's or sublessee's expense and on or before commencement of
such sublease, a legal opinion from counsel to the sublessee in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, as to the due
execution and delivery and enforceability of such sublease and as to
such other matters as Lessor may reasonably request. Any monies
received by Lessor pursuant to the exercise of its rights under the
assignment of any sublease shall be held by Lessor as additional
security for the performance by Lessee of its obligations under this
Lease and, to the extent not applied against amounts due and owing by
Lessee hereunder and the exercise of remedies hereunder, shall be
returned to Lessee at such time as no Event of Default shall be
continuing.
-66-
13.9 DELIVERY OF AIRFRAME OR ENGINES TO MANUFACTURER OR REPAIRER; POOLING
ARRANGEMENTS. Notwithstanding Clause 13.8, so long as no Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, Lessee may, without the prior written
consent of Lessor:
(i) DELIVERY FOR SERVICE OR REPAIR. Deliver possession of the Airframe
or any Engine to the manufacturer thereof for testing or other similar
purposes or to any organization for service, repair, maintenance or
overhaul work on the Airframe, such Engine or any part thereof or for
alterations or modifications in or additions to the Airframe or such
Engine to the extent required or permitted by the terms of Clause 13.6;
(ii) POOLING OF ENGINES. Subject any Engine to normal interchange or
pooling agreements or arrangements in each case customary in the
airline industry and entered into by Lessee in the ordinary course of
its business with an air carrier approved by Lessor; provided that if
any interest of Lessee or Lessor in or to any such Engine shall be
divested under any such agreement or arrangement, such divestiture
shall be deemed to be an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine and
Lessee shall comply with Clause 11.2 in respect thereof;
(iii) POOLING OF PARTS. Subject any part removed from the Airframe or
an Engine as provided herein to a normal pooling arrangement customary
in the airline industry entered into in the ordinary course of Lessee's
business with an air carrier approved by Lessor, provided the part
replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or
attached to the Airframe or Engine in accordance with Clause 13.4 as
promptly as possible after the removal of such removed Part. In
addition, any replacement part when incorporated or installed in or
attached to the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with Clause 13.4
may be owned by an air carrier approved by Lessor subject to such a
normal pooling arrangement, provided Lessee, at its expense, as
promptly thereafter as possible either (a) causes title to such
replacement part to vest in Lessor in accordance with Clause 13.4 by
Lessee acquiring title thereto for the
-67-
benefit of, and transferring such title to, Lessor free and clear of
all Liens, or (b) replaces such replacement part by incorporating or
installing in or attaching to the Airframe or Engine a further
replacement part owned by Lessee free and clear of all Liens and
causing title to such further replacement part to vest in the Lessor in
accordance with Clause 13.4.
No pooling agreement, sublease or other relinquishment of possession of
the Aircraft or any Engine shall in any way discharge or diminish any
of Lessee's obligations to Lessor hereunder.
13.10 OPERATION. In addition to the undertakings set out in Clause 10.14,
Lessee hereby undertakes:
(i) neither to operate nor to use the Aircraft at any time that the
full amount of insurance required by the terms of Clause 10 shall not
be in effect;
(ii) not to operate, use, keep or locate nor to permit the operation,
use, keeping or location of the Aircraft or any part thereof (i) for
any purpose, in any manner or in any place not covered by the
insurances required pursuant to Clause 10, or (ii) in any recognized or
threatened area of hostilities unless fully covered to Lessor's
reasonable satisfaction by war risk insurance; provided, however, that
the Aircraft or any Engine located in an area at the time it becomes a
recognized or threatened area of hostility may be flown from and
through such area to an area outside such area of recognized or
threatened hostility;
(iii) that the Aircraft shall not be maintained, used or operated in
violation of any mandatory law, rule, regulation or order of any
government or governmental authority having jurisdiction (domestic or
foreign), or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or
registration relating to the Aircraft issued by any such authority.
-68-
13.11 NAMEPLATE. Lessee agrees to affix and maintain in the cockpit of the
Airframe in a prominent place, and on each Engine next to the engine
data plate, a metal nameplate having dimensions of not less than four
and a half inches by three inches bearing the inscription "This
Aircraft/Engine is owned by EAL (DELAWARE) VIII CORP. and leased to PAN
AMERICAN WORLD AIRWAYS, INC. AND IS SUBJECT TO A MORTGAGE TO ING LEASE
(NEDERLAND) B.V.-AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS."
Except as provided above, Lessee shall not allow the name or other
indication of any person, association or corporation to be placed on
the Aircraft or any Engine which name or other indication could be
interpreted as a claim of ownership or other interest therein.
13.12 LESSEE'S LIABILITY AS TO COSTS OF USE AND OPERATION. Save as otherwise
expressly provided herein, Lessee shall pay all costs, expenses, fees
and charges incurred in connection with the use, operation,
maintenance, repair and insurance of the Aircraft or any Engine,
including but not limited to repairs, maintenance, storage, transport,
housing, servicing and all airport and airspace use fees, taxes and
charges.
13.13 ENTITLEMENT TO ENFORCE WARRANTIES. So long as no Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall have the benefit of and shall
be entitled to enforce, either in its own name or in the name of Lessor
(at the cost of Lessee and in respect to which enforcement Lessee
hereby indemnifies Lessor) for the use and benefit of Lessee, any and
all dealer's, manufacturer's or subcontractor's warranties, if any, in
respect of the Aircraft or such Engine, to the extent such warranties
are assignable, and, so far as it is reasonably able, Lessor agrees to
do, execute and deliver such further acts, deeds, matters or things as
may be necessary to enable Lessee to obtain customary warranty services
furnished for the Aircraft or such Engine by such dealer, manufacturer
or subcontractor. Lessee shall at all times promptly and effectively
enforce its and Lessor's rights under any warranty hereinabove
mentioned.
-69-
CLAUSE 14. REGISTRATION OF AIRCRAFT
Lessor shall prior to Delivery of the Aircraft hereunder cause the
Aircraft to be duly registered (if previously registered in a foreign
country) in the name of Lessor with the FAA in accordance with all
applicable laws of the United States.
CLAUSE 15. RETURN OF AIRCRAFT
15.1 REDELIVERY. Except as otherwise provided herein, at the expiration of
the Lease Term or upon the sooner termination of this Agreement, Lessee
shall return the Aircraft to Lessor at the Return Location by
delivering the same to Lessor together with the items identified in the
Technical Data and Manuals List attached hereto as Schedule D, the
Loose Equipment List attached hereto as Schedule E-1, the Emergency
Equipment List attached hereto as Schedule E-2 and the Avionics
Equipment List attached hereto as Schedule E-3 at the Return Location.
At the time of return to Lessor, the Aircraft shall be fully equipped
with Engines or (subject to Clause 15.3) other engines owned by Lessee
(and complying with Clause 15.3) properly installed thereon and shall
comply in all respects with the Redelivery Conditions stated in
Schedule F hereto.
Lessee shall bear all costs arising from the transport of the Aircraft
to the Return Location, including the costs of flight crews, fuel,
insurance, landing charges, navigational charges, engine and
maintenance costs.
If Lessee shall fail to return the Aircraft to Lessor at the time and
in the condition required by this Lease (whether at the expiration or
any termination of Lessee's right to lease the Aircraft hereunder or
otherwise), then, in addition to any other right or remedy available to
Lessor in respect thereof, Lessee shall continue to maintain and insure
the Aircraft as provided in this Agreement until such time as the
Aircraft is returned to Lessor and is in the condition required by this
Lease. Lessee's obligation under the preceding sentence shall survive
the termination or any expiration of this Lease.
-70-
15.2 ENGINE CONDITION. In the event any engine not owned by Lessor shall be
delivered with the Airframe, such engine shall be satisfactory to
Lessor, free and clear of Liens, suitable for use on such Airframe and
shall have the value and utility at least equal to, and be in as good
operating condition (including no greater number of Flight Hours or
Cycles accumulated on such engine) as the Engine that should have been
returned, assuming such Engine which should have been returned was in
the condition and repair as required by the terms hereof immediately
prior to such required return. At its own expense and concurrently with
such delivery, Lessee shall furnish Lessor with a xxxx of sale, in form
and substance satisfactory to Lessor, for each such engine and with
evidence of Lessee's title to such engine (including, if requested, an
opinion of Lessee's counsel) and shall take such other action as Lessor
may reasonably request in order that title to such engine shall be duly
and properly vested in Lessor. Upon full compliance with this Clause
15.2 and passage of title to such engine to Lessor, such engine shall
be an Engine for all purposes of this Agreement and Lessor will
transfer to Lessee all right, title and interest that Lessor may have
in an Engine constituting part of the Aircraft so returned but not
installed on such Aircraft at the time of such return, without any
representation, warranty or recourse of any kind whatsoever, express or
implied, except a warranty that such Engine is free and clear of Lessor
Liens; provided, however, that if Lessor requires in its absolute
discretion, Lessee shall redeliver to Lessor any Engine not installed
on the Aircraft at the time of redelivery hereunder notwithstanding any
of the foregoing and in such circumstances Lessee shall not (if it has
not already done so) be required to transfer to Lessor or other
designee of Lessor right, title and interest in and to the engine then
installed on the Airframe which shall remain vested in Lessee and
Lessor shall not be required to transfer any right, title or interest
in or to the Engine not so installed on the Airframe to Lessee as
otherwise required by this Clause 15.2.
15.3 GENERAL CONDITION. The Aircraft when delivered to Lessor shall (without
prejudice to paragraph 2 of Schedule F) be clean by international
commercial airline operating standards, and (save as otherwise provided
in Clause 15.2) shall have installed thereon all Engines, equipment,
accessories or parts installed thereon at the commencement of the Lease
Term therefor or improvements thereto made in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.
-71-
The Aircraft shall be in the same condition as when delivered to
Lessee, ordinary wear and tear (subject to the obligations set forth in
Clauses 5 and 13 and alterations and modifications properly made and
documented by Lessee as permitted under this Agreement) excepted.
Without prejudice to paragraph 4 of Schedule F, should Lessee be
granted any variances or extensions from the FAA with respect to any
airworthiness directives applicable to Lessee or should the FAA
approved maintenance program for Lessee permit carry-over or deferral
of maintenance items, performance of which, but for such deferral or
carry-over, would have otherwise been required thereby, Lessee shall
perform or cause to be performed, at Lessee's expense (subject to
Clause 13), all such items and airworthiness directives prior to return
of the Aircraft to Lessor. Without prejudice to paragraph 10 of
Schedule F, there shall be no untreated or uncorrected corrosion as
determined by the pre-delivery inspection by Lessor, including
corrosion within the fuel tanks.
Without prejudice to Schedule F, a borescope inspection, engine power
runs and systems functional checks shall be performed at Lessee's
expense immediately prior to return of the Aircraft to Lessor, and
Lessee shall provide evidence satisfactory to Lessor reflecting the
correction of any non-compliance found during such inspection with the
Maintenance Program.
Lessor shall be given access to the Aircraft at the maintenance
facility that performs the re- delivery maintenance. Lessee will make
available for inspection at least 60 days prior to the redelivery date
the full complement of records, manuals and other documentation as
specified in Schedule D.
Immediately prior to the re-delivery and acceptance, a final walk
around inspection and a systems ground check, including engine power
runs in accordance with the Manufacturer's maintenance manual, will be
performed in conjunction with a flight demonstration of the Aircraft,
at Lessee's cost, utilizing the manufacturer's standard maintenance
manual procedures. Two (2) representatives of Lessor will be on board
as observers. Lessee, at its
-72-
expense, will correct, or cause to be corrected, all defects exceeding
Manufacturer's maintenance manual limitations.
Lessor shall be entitled to have inspectors present during the
re-delivery work performed on the Aircraft at the designated
maintenance facility. If Lessor determines that repairs are required to
cause the Aircraft to comply with the return requirements provided
herein, such repairs shall be performed at an FAA approved facility in
the United States at Lessee's sole cost and expense. Lessee and Lessor
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to combine such inspection
flight with the ferry flight to a secondary location.
15.4 REMOVAL OF INSIGNIA; TRANSFER OF WARRANTIES, ETC. At the time of such
return, Lessee shall at its own expense (a) remove all names, insignia
and other indications of Lessee from the exterior and interior of the
Aircraft and (b) transfer to Lessor to the extent transferable all
warranties and indemnifications obtained by Lessee with respect to the
Aircraft together with all documents relative thereto which may be
required to effect such transfer.
15.5 FUEL AND OIL. Upon the return of the Aircraft, either at the end of the
Lease Term, pursuant to Clause 17 or pursuant to any other termination
of this Agreement, each fuel tank and oil tank shall contain the same
quantity of fuel or oil as was contained in the fuel and oil tanks when
the Aircraft was delivered to Lessee, or, in the case of differences in
any such qualities, an appropriate adjustment will be made by payment
according to the then current market price of fuel or oil, as the case
may be.
15.6 RETURN ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATE. Upon return of the Aircraft in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Lessee will prepare and
execute two (2) Return Acceptance Certificates substantially in the
form of Schedule H and Lessor will countersign and return one such
Return Acceptance Certificate to Lessee.
15.7 INDEMNITIES AND INSURANCE. The insurance and indemnities requirements
set forth in Clauses 10 and 16 will apply to Lessor's representatives
during return of the Aircraft,
-73-
including the ground inspection, inspection flight and demonstration
flight. With respect to the inspection flight and demonstration flight,
Lessee shall assure that Lessor's representatives will receive the same
protection as Lessee on Lessee's Aviation and Airline General Third
Party Liability Insurance.
15.8 AIRPORT AND NAVIGATION CHARGES. Lessee will ensure that at return of
the Aircraft any and all airport, navigation and other charges which
give rise or may if unpaid give rise to any Lien, right of detention,
right of sale or other Lien in relation to the Airframe, Engine or any
Part, whether incurred in respect of the Aircraft or any other aircraft
operated by Lessee, have been paid and discharged in full (whether or
not due) and will at Lessor's request produce evidence thereof
satisfactory to Lessor.
15.9 RECTIFICATION OF RE-DELIVERY CONDITION. To the extent that, at the time
of redelivery, the condition of the Aircraft or records does not comply
with the provisions hereof, Lessee at its own expense shall cause such
rectification to be carried out as soon as possible. In the event that
such rectification extends beyond the end of the Lease Term, the Lease
Term shall, at the option of Lessor, be extended and the provisions of
this Agreement, including the requirement to pay Rent during the period
the Lease Term is so extended (prorated on a daily basis), shall remain
in force until such rectification has been accomplished; provided
however, that Lessor shall have the right, after the date on which the
Lease Term would otherwise have ended but for this Clause 15.9, to take
possession of the Aircraft and demand compensation for costs incurred
by Lessor in connection with such repossession and all necessary
repairs.
15.10 EXPORT AND DE-REGISTRATION OF AIRCRAFT. Lessee will, at Lessor's cost,
(i) assist in obtaining a Certificate of Airworthiness for Export and
all other authorizations and approvals for export of the Aircraft from
the United States to any country designated by Lessor (and Lessee and
Lessor shall, 90 days in advance of the date of any re-delivery, work
together to determine the workscope required therefor), (ii) assist
with de-registration of the Aircraft from the records of the FAA, (iii)
assist Lessor or its designee(s) in securing such new
-74-
registration of the Aircraft as may be determined by Lessor, which
assistance shall include, without limitation, preparation or provision
of documents necessary or desirable to be obtained from Lessee in
connection with such new registration, and (iv) perform any other acts
reasonably required by Lessor in connection with the foregoing.
CLAUSE 16. INDEMNIFICATION
16.1 GENERAL INDEMNITY. Subject only to the limitations described in the
last paragraph of this Clause 16.1, Lessee agrees to indemnify,
reimburse and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and
all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, demands, suits, judgments,
causes of action, legal proceedings, whether civil or criminal,
penalties, fines and other sanctions, and any reasonable attorney's
fees and other reasonable costs and expenses in connection herewith or
therewith, including any of the foregoing arising or imposed with or
without Lessor's fault or negligence (whether passive or active) or
under the doctrine of strict liability (any and all of which are
hereafter referred to as "Claims") which in any way may result from,
pertain to or arise in any manner out of, or are in any manner related
to (i) the Aircraft, this Agreement or any other Lease Document, any
interest herein or any document executed in connection herewith or
therewith, or the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
made by Lessee hereunder or under any other such document, or (ii) the
condition, manufacture, re-delivery, lease, acceptance, rejection,
possession, return, disposition, maintenance, repair, use or operation
of the Aircraft either in the air or on the ground at any time after
the Delivery Date and before the Redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor
as and when required hereby, or (iii) any defect in the Aircraft
(whether or not discovered or discoverable by Lessee or Lessor) arising
from the material or any articles used therein or from the design,
testing or use thereof or from any maintenance, service, repair,
overhaul or testing of the Aircraft, whether or not the Aircraft is in
the possession of Lessee, and regardless of where the Aircraft may then
be located, or (iv) any transaction, approval or document contemplated
by this Agreement or any Lease Document or given or entered into in
connection herewith or therewith, (v) any payments required under any
Lease Document, or (vi) otherwise in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Lease Documents; provided, however,
-75-
that Lessee shall be subrogated to all rights and remedies which Lessor
may have against the Manufacturer of the Aircraft and its
subcontractors as to any such Claims, but only to the extent that
Lessee satisfies its indemnification to Lessor with respect to such
Claims. Lessee shall not be required to pay or discharge any Claim
brought by a third party so long as the validity or the amount thereof
shall be diligently contested in good faith and on reasonable grounds
by Lessee, at no cost or expense to Lessor.
Lessee hereby waives, and releases each Indemnitee from, any Claims
(whether existing now or hereafter arising) for or on account of or
arising or in any way connected with injury to or death of personnel of
Lessee or loss or damage to property of Lessee or the loss of use of
any property which may result from or arise in any manner out of or in
relation to the ownership, leasing, condition, use or operation of the
Aircraft, either in the air or on the ground, or which may be caused by
any defect in the Aircraft from the material or any article used
therein or from the design or testing thereof, or use thereof, or from
any maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing of the Aircraft
regardless of when such defect may be discovered, whether or not the
Aircraft is at the time in the possession of Lessee, and regardless of
the location of the Aircraft at any such time.
The indemnities contained in this Clause 16.1 shall continue in full
force and effect notwithstanding the expiration or other termination of
this Lease and are expressly made for the benefit of and shall be
enforceable by each Indemnitee; provided, however, that Lessee shall
not be obligated to pay any indemnity pursuant to this Clause 16.1 with
respect to any amount to the extent that such amount arises out of or
is measured by acts, failures to act, events or periods of time (or any
combination of the foregoing) that occur after the Aircraft has been
redelivered to Lessor pursuant to Clause 15 hereof (under circumstances
not involving a repossession pursuant to Clause 17.2 hereof) and is no
longer subject to this Agreement and all obligations of Lessee under
this Agreement have been discharged (other than obligations which by
their express terms survive the expiration of the Lease Term) unless
any such act or event shall itself result from or be attributable to an
act or omission
-76-
of Lessee which occurred prior to the redelivery of the Aircraft and
the discharge of Lessee's obligations under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Clause 16.1, Lessee
shall not be obligated to make any payment by way of indemnity to any
Indemnitee (i) in respect of any Claims to the extent such Claims
result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any
Indemnitee; or (ii) any Claim arising out of the period before delivery
of the Aircraft to Lessee except to the extent relating to a matter
required to be corrected by Lessee hereunder; or (iii) to the extent
such Claims are for Taxes (whether or not Lessee is required to
indemnify against such Taxes pursuant to Clause 16.2)
16.2 TAX INDEMNITY.
(i) WITHHOLDING TAXES. All payments required to be made by Lessee under
this Lease shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for
or on account of, any present or future Taxes of any nature whatsoever
now or hereafter imposed by any governmental entity or taxing authority
in any jurisdiction. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or
deducted from any such payments, Lessee shall (i) within the period for
payment permitted by applicable Law pay to the appropriate government
entity or taxing authority the full amount of such Taxes (and any
additional Taxes in respect of the payment required under clause (ii)
hereof) and make such reports and filings in connection therewith at
the time and in the manner required by applicable Law, and (ii) pay to
Lessor an additional amount which (after deduction of all Taxes of any
nature incurred by reason of the payment or receipt of such additional
amount) will be sufficient to yield to the relevant Indemnitee the full
amount which would have been received by such Indemnitee had no
deduction or withholding been made.
(ii) GENERAL TAX INDEMNITY. In addition, except as set forth in Clause
16.2(iii), Lessee agrees for the express benefit of each Indemnitee to
pay promptly when due, and to indemnify and hold harmless such
Indemnitee from, all Taxes (whether imposed
-77-
upon such Indemnitee, the Aircraft, the Airframe, the Engines or
otherwise), by any government entity or taxing authority in any
jurisdiction or by any international taxing authority, upon or with
respect to, based upon or measured by any of the following:
(a) the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part thereof, or
interest therein, this Lease or any of the other Lease Documents or any
interest therein; the importation, exportation, condition, ownership,
delivery, redelivery, failure to redeliver, acceptance, possession,
repossession, return, use, performance, operation, control, settlement
of any insurance or other claim, leasing, subleasing, financing,
mortgaging, Liens, rental, retirement, abandonment, preparation,
installation, modification, repair, testing, maintenance, replacement,
transportation, storage, location, condition, registration,
re-registration, deregistration, and the sale, transfer of title or
other application or disposition of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any
Engine or any Part thereof or any interest therein; or the rentals,
receipts or earnings arising therefrom (including without limitation
the Rent) and any other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto;
(b) the Lease or the other Lease Documents; or
(c) otherwise with respect to or in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Lease and other Lease Documents.
(iii) EXCEPTIONS TO INDEMNITY. The indemnity provided for in Clause
16.2(ii) does not extend to any of the following Taxes:
(a) Taxes on, based on, or measured by the net income, profit,
capital gain, capital or net worth of any Indemnitee in any
jurisdiction in which such Indemnitee is incorporated or has its
principal place of business or is subject to such Taxes solely as a
result of transactions or activities unrelated to the transactions
contemplated by
-78-
the Lease Documents (except that there shall not be excluded any
increase in such Taxes resulting directly from the presence of the
Lessee in the relevant taxing jurisdiction or the presence,
registration, use or operation of the Aircraft in whole or in part
in such jurisdiction);
(b) Taxes (1) imposed as a result of a voluntary or involuntary
transfer or other disposition of the Aircraft or this Lease or any
other Lease Document or any interest in any of the foregoing by
Lessor or any other Indemnitee other than a transfer or disposition
in connection with an exercise of remedies following an Event of
Default, or (2) to the extent such Taxes exceed the amount of taxes
which would have been payable had there not been such a transfer or
disposition;
(c) Taxes to the extent attributable to events or circumstances
occurring or arising after return of the Aircraft to Lessor in
accordance with this Lease, excluding any period in which the
Lessor is exercising remedies pursuant to Clause 17.2 hereof; or
(d) Taxes resulting solely as a direct result of any gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Indemnitee or any
breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations hereunder or under any
other Lease Document or the breach or accuracy of any
representation, covenant, or warranty given by such Indemnitee
herein or therein.
(iv) AFTER-TAX BASIS. The amount which Lessee is required to pay or
indemnify against with respect to any amounts required to be paid or
indemnified against under Clause 16.1 or this Clause 16.2 shall include
an additional amount necessary to hold the recipient of the payment or
indemnity harmless on an after-tax basis from all Taxes (whether or not
such Taxes are excluded under Clause 16.2(iii)) required to be paid or
credited by such recipient with respect to such payment or indemnity,
so as to restore the recipient on an after-tax basis to the same
position such recipient would have been in had such amounts not been
incurred or payable.
-79-
(v) TIMING OF PAYMENT. Any amount due and payable to the relevant
Indemnitee pursuant to Clause 16.2(ii) shall be paid within 10 days
after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee
accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the
basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount so payable;
provided, however, that such amount need not be paid by Lessee prior to
the later of (a) five days prior to the date the applicable Tax is
payable to the appropriate government entity or taxing authority or (b)
in the case of amounts which are being contested by Lessee in good
faith or by Lessor pursuant to Clause 16.2(vi) the date such contest is
finally resolved.
(vi) CONTESTS. If written claim is made against an Indemnitee for Taxes
with respect to which Lessee is or may be liable for a payment or
indemnity hereunder, such Indemnitee will promptly give Lessee notice
in writing of such claim; provided, however, that such Indemnitee's
failure to give notice will not relieve Lessee of its obligations
hereunder, except to the extent the failure to give such notice
precludes a contest of such claim in the manner contemplated herein. So
long as (a) a contest of such Taxes does not involve any danger of the
sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or any interest therein, (b)
Lessee has provided the relevant Indemnitee with an opinion of
independent tax counsel acceptable to such Indemnitee that a
meritorious basis exists for contesting such claim, (c) Lessee has made
adequate reserves for such Taxes or, if required by the relevant
Indemnitee, an adequate bond has been posted by Lessee, and (d) Lessee
has acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify for such Taxes,
then such Indemnitee at Lessee's written request will in good faith,
with due diligence and at Lessee's sole cost and expense, contest (or,
if permitted by Law, permit Lessee to contest in the name of such
Indemnitee) the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes. If
such contest is to be initiated by the payment of, and the claiming of
a refund for, any Taxes, Lessee shall advance to the relevant
Indemnitee sufficient funds (on an interest-free basis) to make such
pay ments and shall indemnify such Indemnitee for any tax consequences
resulting from such advance of funds. Although the relevant Indemnitee
may consult in good faith
-80-
with Lessee concerning the conduct of any contest, such Indemnitee
shall control the conduct of all proceedings relating to any such
contest which is brought by or on behalf of such Indemnitee. Any
contest initiated hereunder may be settled or discontinued at any time
provided that the relevant Indemnitee shall have waived any right to
indemnification for the Taxes being contested.
(vii) REFUNDS. Upon receipt by the relevant Indemnitee of a refund of

any interest receive by such Indemnitee with respect thereto; provided,
however, that no amount shall be payable to the Lessee hereunder if a
Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or
prior to the time that Lessee shall have paid to the relevant
Indemnitee all amounts then due and owing to such Tax Indemnitee under
this Clause 16.
(viii) COOPERATION IN FILING TAX RETURNS. In case any report or return
is required with respect to any Taxes which are subject to
indemnification by Lessee under this Clause 16.2, Lessee will either

Lessee this Lease Agreement to be in default and at any time
thereafter, so long as any such Event of Default shall not have been
remedied, Lessor may do one or more of the following with respect to
all or any part of the Aircraft as Lessor in its sole discretion shall
elect, to the extent available and permitted by, and subject to
compliance with any mandatory requirements of, applicable law then in
effect; provided, however, that nothing herein shall impair or limit
any right or remedy otherwise available hereunder or at law in
connection with any Event of Default:
(i) terminate Lessee's rights to the use and possession of the
Aircraft hereunder and, upon the written demand of Lessor and at
Lessee's expense, cause Lessee to return promptly, and Lessee shall
return promptly, all or any part of the Aircraft as Lessor may so
demand, to Lessor, or to the location directed by Lessor, in the
manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with
all the provisions of, Clause
-85-
15 as if such Aircraft was being returned at the end of the Lease Term
(including, without limitation, the items identified in the Technical
Data and Manuals List attached hereto as Schedule D all fully updated
and supplemented as required hereby), or, at its option and to the
extent permitted by applicable law, enter upon the premises where all
or any part of the Aircraft is located and take immediate possession of
and remove the same by summary proceedings or otherwise (and, at
Lessor's option, store the same at Lessee's premises until disposal
thereof by Lessor); provided, however, that Lessor shall return to
Lessee all personal property of Lessee which was on board the Aircraft
promptly following the time Lessor re-takes possession of the Aircraft.
(ii) sell all or any part of the Aircraft at public or private sale, as
Lessor may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate or
lease to others, as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may determine, all
free and clear of any rights of Lessee, except as hereinafter set forth
in this Clause 17;
(iii) effect the immediate cancellation or termination of the U.S.
registration of the Aircraft, and, in connection therewith, prepare,
execute, deliver (in Lessor's own name or in the name of Lessee
pursuant to the power of attorney hereinbelow or elsewhere set forth)
and file with the FAA, any request, consent or other instrument
necessary or advisable in order to effect such cancellation,
termination or de-registration;
(iv) whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall thereafter at
any time exercise, any of its rights under Clause 17.2(i) or 17.2(ii)
above with respect to the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine, Lessor,
by written notice to Lessee specifying a payment date which shall be
the Rent Payment Date not earlier than ten days from the date on which
such notice is received by Lessee, may demand that the Lessee pay to
Lessor, and Lessee shall pay Lessor, on the payment date so specified,
any unpaid Basic Rent and Maintenance Payments due on any date prior to
the payment date so specified;
-86-
(v) in the event that Lessor shall have sold the Aircraft, Airframe or
any Engine pursuant to Clause 17.2(ii) above, Lessor, in lieu of
exercising its rights under Clause 17.2(iv) above with respect to such
Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, may, if it shall so elect, demand
that Lessee pay Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on the date of
such sale, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a
penalty, all Basic Rent and Maintenance Payments with respect to the
Aircraft which would have been payable for the Lease Term if no Event
of Default had occurred;
(vi) liquidate or draw upon the Security Deposit and any other cash,
securities, letter of credit or other right or property held hereunder
or under any Other Lease as collateral for Lessee's performance
hereunder or thereunder, and apply any or all of the proceeds thereof
to the satisfaction of Lessee's obligations or liabilities hereunder;
and/or
(vii) notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary,
Lessor may rescind or terminate this Lease Agreement as to the
Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine and/or may exercise any other right or
remedy which may be available to it under applicable law or proceed by
appropriate court action to enforce the terms hereof or to recover
damages for breach hereof.
In addition, Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise provided above and
without duplication of amounts payable hereunder, for any and all unpaid Rent
due hereunder before, after or during the exercise of any of the foregoing
remedies, and for all reasonable and actual legal fees and other costs and
expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with the enforcement hereof, the
return of the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with the terms of Clause 15
or in placing such Airframe or Engine in the condition and airworthiness
required by such Clause. Without limiting the foregoing, if an Event of Default
occurs, then Lessee shall, in addition to other liabilities arising in
connection therewith, reimburse Lessor for any legal fees and disbursements
incurred by Lessor in analyzing, monitoring and enforcing Lessor's rights and
remedies in connection with such Event of Default.
-87-
Lessee hereby constitutes and appoints each of Lessor and ING as the true and
lawful agent and attorney-in-fact for Lessee (with full power of substitution)
in the name, place and stead of, and at the expense of, Lessee, in connection
with the enforcement of the rights, powers, privileges and remedies provided for
in this Clause or otherwise available to Lessor or ING hereunder, at law or in
equity, in connection with, upon or following the occurrence of an Event of
Default (i) to collect, receive, pay, disburse, enforce and apply, any monies,
collateral, assets or property held or available hereunder or in respect hereof,
or under any other Lease Document or in respect thereof, (ii) to effect any
grant, conveyance, lease or other transfer or application of any collateral,
assets or property, (iii) to effect the cancellation and de-registration of the
Aircraft from the Aircraft Registry of the FAA or any other civil aviation

related maintenance, repair, overhaul and operating records, logs, books and
other data; (v) to negotiate, complete, execute, deliver, present, file and
record any agreement, demand, request, consent, document or instrument referred
to, contemplated by or otherwise incident to the de-registration, repossession,

privilege or remedy under this Lease or available to either Lessor or ING at law
or in equity; and (vi) to take any other action incidental to, or in furtherance
of, the exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy available to Lessor or
ING hereunder or at law or in equity; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing herein
shall relieve Lessee of any obligation to execute, deliver or do, and Lessee
shall execute, deliver and do, any of the foregoing documents or acts at upon
the demand of Lessor or ING to do so.
Except as otherwise expressly provided above, no remedy referred to in this
Clause 17 is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to Lessor
at law or in equity; and the exercise or beginning of exercise by Lessor of any
one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later
exercise by Lessor of any or all of such other remedies. No express or implied
waiver by Lessor of any Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to
be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Event of Default.
-88-
CLAUSE 18. ASSIGNMENT
18.1 BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and permitted assigns.
18.2 ASSIGNMENT BY LESSEE. Lessee shall not, without the prior written
consent of Lessor, assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder.
18.3 ASSIGNMENT BY LESSOR.
(i) Lessor may, at Lessor's sole expense, having given prior written
notice to Lessee, assign all or part of its rights hereunder without
the prior written consent of Lessee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such
assignment shall not affect Lessee's rights, powers, obligations,
privileges, options and benefits available to Lessee hereunder and
shall not invalidate the U.S. Registration of the Aircraft and shall
not have a material adverse effect upon Lessee's quiet enjoyment and
use of the Aircraft during the Lease Term.
(ii) Lessee hereby acknowledges and consents to the Security Agreement
and to the creation of the security interest evidenced thereby.
Pursuant to the Security Agreement, ING has succeeded to, and has the
exclusive right to exercise, all rights, powers, privileges, options
and other benefits available to the Lessor hereunder, including all
rights to make and to give any demands, waivers and agreements under
any such Lease, to make determinations, to give and receive notices and
other communications, to take such action upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default hereunder, including all rights to exercise remedies,
to assert powers and privileges, and to make demands in connection
herewith. Lessee will furnish to ING counterparts of all writings of
any kind required to be delivered hereunder by Lessee to Lessor and
until Lessee has been notified by ING that the lien of the Security
-89-
Agreement on the Aircraft has been released (x) Lessee shall make all
payments of Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent, Monthly Maintenance
Reserve Payments and the Security Deposit and all other amounts payable
hereunder, to ING as specified in Clause 6.1 and (y) ING shall be
entitled to the exclusion of the Lessor to succeed to and exercise all
of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Lessor under this
Lease and, in this respect, the Lessee shall not, and shall not be
required to, recognize the exercise of any such right, remedy, power or
privilege by the Lessor, as applicable. In furtherance thereof, the
Lessee and the Lessor also agree that, with respect to any
instructions, directions, consents, waivers and other communications
that the Lessor is entitled to deliver to the Lessee under this Lease,
the Lessee shall only accept, and shall only act (or refrain from
acting) in accordance with, such instructions, directions, consents,
waivers and other communications that are given by ING until Lessee has
been otherwise notified by ING. Each payment made by Lessee pursuant to
the second preceding sentence shall, to the extent actually received by
ING, be deemed, as between Lessor and Lessee, to satisfy Lessee's
obligations hereunder to make such payments. This Lease shall be
subject and subordinate to the Security Agreement, but neither Lessor
nor any Person deriving from Lessor shall in the absence of an Event of
Default, take any action contrary to Lessee's rights under this Lease,
including, without limitation, the right to use and possession of the
Aircraft, except in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. The
Lessee also acknowledges that any obligations which the Lessor shall
have under this Lease shall be non-recourse to the Lessor and that for
satisfaction thereof, Lessee shall look only to Lessor's interest in
the Aircraft and/or ING. To the extent that ING satisfies any such
obligation, such amount shall, to the extent permitted by the Security
Agreement and applicable law be added to the amounts secured by the
Security Agreement.
(iii) In the event this Lease is assigned, sold, encumbered or
re-encumbered by Lessor, any assignee, transferee or mortgagee shall
agree as a condition precedent thereto not to disturb or otherwise
interfere with the quiet enjoyment by Lessee of the Aircraft
-90-
so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
and Lessee shall have received confirmation in writing, reasonably
acceptable to Lessee, that such transferee accepts all responsibilities
of Lessor under this Lease, including but not limited to, confirmation
of Lessee's right to quiet enjoyment and use of the Aircraft during the
Lease Term.
CLAUSE 19. FURTHER ASSURANCES
19.1 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Lessee shall cause to be done, executed,
acknowledged and delivered all and every such further acts, conveyances
and assurances as Lessor shall reasonably require for accomplishing the
purposes of each of the Lease Documents to which Lessor or ING is a
party, and shall promptly furnish to Lessor such information as may be
reasonably required by Lessor to enable Lessor timely to file any
reports required to be filed by it with any governmental authority
because of Lessor's ownership of the Aircraft.
19.2 PERFECTION OF LESSOR'S ETC. INTERESTS. Lessee shall, at its own
expense, take such steps as are reasonably requested by Lessor which
are necessary or appropriate to perfect or keep perfected the interests
of Lessor created or intended to be created under this Agreement and
any other document with respect to the Aircraft.
CLAUSE 20. PROTECTION OF LESSOR'S INTERESTS
If the rights of Lessor and such other persons as Lessor may specify in
the Aircraft shall be in danger, or shall be attacked directly or
indirectly, or if any legal proceedings are instituted against Lessee,
Lessor, or such other persons as Lessor may specify with respect
thereto, Lessee shall promptly give written notice thereof (to the
extent known to it) to Lessor so that all steps deemed by Lessor to be
necessary or appropriate for the defense and protection of each of
their respective rights in the Aircraft can be taken. All reasonable
costs in connection with the foregoing will be borne by Lessor or any
such other person (as the case may be),
-91-
unless the foregoing results from the act or omission of Lessee or from
a breach of the terms of this Agreement by Lessee in which event such
costs shall be borne by Lessee.

without limitation, the fees, expenses and disbursements of legal
counsel to such party.
21.2 ENFORCEMENT AND PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS. Lessee agrees to pay within 30
days of Lessor's first written demand all of the costs and expenses
incurred by Lessor or on its behalf incidental to the enforcement,
protection or preservation of any right or claim of Lessor under each
of the Lease Documents to which it is a party.

Term, Lessor or ING or, in either case, its authorized representatives
may, during the normal business hours of Lessee inspect the Aircraft or
any part thereof and the logs, books and other records maintained
Lessee relative thereto; provided, however, that no such inspection
shall interfere with Lessee's quiet, peaceful use and enjoyment
thereof.
-92-

notice of the performance of any "C-Check" or "D-Check" of the Airframe
so that Lessor can arrange to have a representative present during such
checks.

ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT THAT CLAUSE
30 (SECURITY DEPOSIT) SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
25.2 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. Lessee irrevocably consents that any legal
action or proceeding against it under, arising out of or in any manner
in connection herewith or any other Lease Document may be brought in
any court of the State of New York or in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York. Lessee, by the execution
and delivery of this Lease, expressly and irrevocably assents and
submits to the personal jurisdiction of any of such courts in any such
action or proceeding. Lessee further irrevocably consents to the
service of any complaint, summons, notice or other process relating to
any such action or proceeding by delivery thereof to it by hand or by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, in the manner
provided for in Clause 23 hereof. Lessee hereby expressly and
irrevocably waives any claim or defense in any such action or
proceeding based on any alleged lack of personal jurisdiction, improper
venue or forum non conveniens or any similar basis. Nothing in this
Paragraph shall affect or impair in any manner or to any extent the
right of Lessor or ING to commence legal proceedings or otherwise
proceed against the Lessee in any jurisdiction or to serve process in
any manner permitted by law. LESSEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM
OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON
-95-
OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, AND THIS
WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS

authorized agent to receive, for and on behalf of Lessee and its property,
service of process, when and as any legal actions or proceedings may be brought

York, and such service of process shall be deemed completed upon the date of
delivery thereof to such agent, whether or not such agent gives notice thereof
to Lessee, or upon the earliest of any other date permitted by applicable law. A
copy of such process served on the agent so designated above will be forwarded
promptly by Lessor to Lessee, at its address referred to in Clause 23, but the
failure to receive such copy shall not affect in any way the service of process
on such agent as agent. Lessee agrees that it will, at all times during the
Lease Term, continuously maintain an agent to receive service of process on
behalf of itself and its properties with respect to this Agreement, and in the
event that, for any reason, the agent named above or its successor shall no

the parties to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

shall be controlling.
CLAUSE 27. CURRENCY INDEMNITY
All amounts to be paid hereunder to Lessor or Lessee shall be paid in
Dollars, in immediately available funds. Lessee acknowledges that the
specification of Dollars in this transaction is of the essence and that
Dollars shall be the currency of account in any and all events. The
obligations of Lessee or Lessor hereunder, to Lessor or Lessee,
respectively, shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another
currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent
that the amount so paid on prompt conversion to Dollars under normal
banking procedures does not yield the amount of Dollars owing to
Lessor. In the event that any payment by Lessee or Lessor,
respectively, whether pursuant to judgment or otherwise to Lessor or
Lessee, respectively, upon conversion does not yield such amount of
Dollars, Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, shall have a separate
cause of action against Lessee or Lessor, as the case may be, for the
additional amount necessary to yield the amount of Dollars due and
owing to Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be.
CLAUSE 28. QUIET ENJOYMENT OF AIRCRAFT
Lessor hereby covenants that, so long as no Default and no Event of
Default shall have occurred and so long as this Agreement shall not
have been otherwise breached by Lessee, Lessor shall not disturb or
interfere with Lessee's quiet and peaceful use and enjoyment of the
Aircraft and all revenues, profits and income related thereto in
accordance with the terms hereof without interference by Lessor or by
any person claiming by or through Lessor.
CLAUSE 29. SEVERABILITY
Should any one or more provisions of this Agreement be determined to be
illegal or unenforceable by a court of any jurisdiction, such
provisions shall, as to such jurisdiction,
-97-
be ineffective to the extent of such illegality or enforceability,
without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof; provided,
however, that validity or enforceability of such provisions in any
other jurisdiction shall not be affected. Lessee agrees, as to any such
jurisdiction, to replace any provision of this Agreement which is so
determined to be illegal or unenforceable by a valid provision which
has as nearly as possible the same effect.

documents necessary or reasonably requested by Lessor to evidence and
perfect such security assignment in favor of Lessor. If Lessee fails to

suffer or incur as a result of Lessee's default hereunder or otherwise

Lessee shall within five (5) days after written demand therefor provide
ING with an additional cash deposit in an amount sufficient to restore
the Security Deposit to USD$ 139,000 and otherwise issued on such terms

material breach of this Lease by Lessee. Provided no Default shall have
occurred, such Security Deposit, less only those costs directly
incurred by Lessor in connection with the termination of the Lease or
return of the Aircraft, which cost by the terms hereof are the
obligation of Lessee or for the account of Lessee, shall be terminated
