completion of any "Post-Production Modifications" listed in Part 4 of
Schedule 1 after such delivery).
4.6 POST-PRODUCTION MODIFICATION
Promptly following delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee hereunder,
Lessee shall cause to be accomplished the post-production
modifications described in Part 4 of Schedule 1. Such post-production
modifications shall be made pursuant to a written agreement and by an
entity that are reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. The cost of such
post-production modifications for which Lessor shall be responsible
shall be a fixed amount set forth in the written agreement which
amount shall be subject to the Modification Limit. While such
post-production modifications are being made, all of the terms of this
Agreement, including Lessee's obligation to pay Rent, shall be and
remain in full force and effect. Upon completion of such
post-production modifications and submission of related invoices and
other documentation reasonably requested by Lessor, Lessor shall
either pay such invoices directly or, if already paid by Lessee,
reimburse Lessee for the cost thereof, in either case up to the
Modification Limit less the net costs of the modifications described
in Part 3 of Schedule 1.
4.7 DEREGISTRATION
Upon satisfaction of all the conditions precedent set forth in Clause
3.3, Lessor shall request the FAA to deregister the Aircraft. Lessee
shall be responsible for the prompt payment of all Taxes, fees, costs
and expenses, including Lessor's reasonable legal fees, relating to
all actions taken in connection with the deregistration of the
Aircraft with the FAA and with the registration of the Aircraft with
the Directorate of Civil Aeronautics of Panama, and the recordation of
this Agreement and of Lessor's title to the Aircraft with the Office
of the Public Registry of Panama, up to a maximum amount of $50,000.

Amount. The Deposit Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable, and
shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor.
5.1.3 Lessor may upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is
continuing apply all or any portion of the Cash Deposit and/or
draw down the Deposit Letter of Credit in accordance with its
terms in whole or in part at any time or times until the later of
10 Business Days after Redelivery and until all of Lessee's
obligations under this Agreement have been fulfilled to satisfy
any liabilities of Lessee to Lessor under this Agreement and
under any Sister Lease.
5.1.4 Prior to delivery of the Aircraft hereunder, Lessee shall
provide Lessor with the Supplemental Rent Letter of Credit in the
initial amount specified in the definition of Supplemental Rent
Letter of Credit Amount, payable in favor of Lessor, issued or
confirmed by a first class American or European bank reasonably
acceptable to Lessor, and drawable in the USA. The Supplemental
Rent Letter of Credit shall be increased on the dates and in the
amounts specified in the definition of Supplemental Rent Letter
of Credit Amount. The Supplemental Rent Letter of Credit shall be
irrevocable, and shall be in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Lessor.
5.1.5 If Lessee shall fail to pay Supplemental Rent due and owing
hereunder on the Expiry Date, or if Lessee shall fail to comply
with the requirements of Clause 12 and Schedule 4 upon the
expiration or the earlier termination of the Term as provided
hereunder, Lessee may draw down the Supplemental Rent Letter of
Credit in whole or in part to satisfy such obligations of
PAGE 31
Lessee hereunder. The Supplemental Rent Letter of Credit may be
drawn solely for the purposes set forth in this Clause 5.1.5.
5.1.6 In the event that any amount of the Cash Deposit is applied or
the Deposit Letter of Credit is drawn down by Lessor, Lessee
shall within 10 Business Days of receipt of notice of any such
application of the Cash Deposit or draw down provide for the
delivery of additional amounts of Cash Deposit and/or an
additional letter of credit or an amendment to the Deposit Letter
of Credit complying with the above requirements so as to restore
the amounts of the Cash Deposit and/or the amount undrawn under
the Deposit Letter of Credit to the original amount.
5.1.7 Clauses 4.3(4)(b), 5.1.2, 7.3 and 11.1 set forth the separate
obligations of Lessor to return to Lessee the Letters of Credit
and to refund to Lessee amounts in respect of the Cash Deposit in
certain circumstances.
5.1.8 Lessee agrees that subject to Clauses 4.3(4)(b), 5.1.2, 7.2 and
11.1 and to Lessee's rights at law and in equity, all right,
title and interest in any Cash Deposit paid by Lessee to Lessor
pursuant to this Clause 5 shall vest in the recipient absolutely,
irrevocably and unconditionally free and clear of any liens,
claims, charges or encumbrances or any other interest of Lessee
or of any third person.
5.1.9 Any interest earned with respect to the Cash Deposit or any draw
down of a Letter of Credit shall be for Lessor's account, free
and clear of any claims, charges or any interest of Lessee.
5.1.10 Lessee shall cause the Letters of Credit, in the respective
amounts then required to be maintained by the terms of this
Agreement, to be replaced or renewed from time to time in order
that they remain in full force and effect through the date
fifteen (15) days after the Expiry Date as required hereunder,
and shall deliver to Lessor a replacement or renewal letter of
credit at least 10 days prior to the date on which a Letter of
Credit is to expire. If Lessee shall fail to deliver to Lessor a
replacement or renewal letter of credit at least 10 days prior to
the date on which the applicable Letter of Credit is to expire,
Lessor may drawdown the full amount of such Letter of Credit and
hold it for application in the same manner as in the case of the
Cash Deposit. In any such case, if Lessee delivers a replacement
letter of credit satisfying the requirements of this Agreement,
Lessor shall return to Lessee the principal amount of such
drawdown, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing.
5.2 RENT
5.2.1 TIME OF PAYMENT: Lessee will pay to Lessor or its order Rent on
the first Rent Date and in advance on each subsequent Rent Date.
Payment must be initiated adequately in advance of each Rent Date
to ensure that Lessor
PAGE 32
receives credit for the payment of Rent payable on such Rent
Date, or on the immediately preceding Business Day if such Rent
Date is not a Business Day.
5.2.2 RENTAL PERIODS: The first Rental Period will commence on the
Delivery Date and end on the fourteenth (14th) day of the second
month following the Delivery Date. The second Rental Period will
commence on the fifteenth (15th) day of the second month
following the Delivery Date, with each subsequent Rental Period
commencing on the fifteenth (15th) day of each subsequent month
for the duration of the Term. The last Rental Period shall end on
the Expiry Date.
5.3 SUPPLEMENTAL RENT
5.3.1 PAYMENT: Upon Redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor at the time
and in the manner provided hereunder, Lessee shall make a single
payment to Lessor of Supplemental Rent in respect of Aircraft
usage during the Term.
5.3.2 CALCULATION:
(1) Not less than six (6) months prior to the scheduled Expiry
Date, Lessee shall provide to Lessor sufficient industry
estimates, reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, to enable
Lessor and Lessee to calculate the estimated amount of
Supplemental Rent payable by Lessee on Redelivery, such
estimates to be based on Lessee's actual utilization of the
Aircraft during the first 54 months of the Term. Such data
shall include bona fide, arm's length market estimates from
not fewer than three (3) mutually acceptable,
internationally recognized aircraft maintenance providers of
the cost of providing to Lessor or to another third party,
other than Lessee or Continental Airlines, Inc., (i) a block
D-Check, including a lower level check on the Airframe, (ii)
a full restoration shop visit of each Engine, and (iii) a
complete overhaul of the APU and the Landing Gear, including
in each case all routine and non-routine work, material,
labor and reasonable handling charges prevailing at the
time, but excluding the cost of any replacement of Life
Limited Parts (each of the Airframe, each Engine, the APU
and the Landing Gear referred to as a "Component," and each
of the respective costs described in subclauses (i) through
(iii) referred to as a "Check/Overhaul Cost," for purposes
of this Clause 5.3.2). Prior to the Expiry Date, Lessor and
Lessee shall discuss in good faith, and agree on, the
applicable Check/Overhaul Cost for each Component.
(2) On the Expiry Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor Supplemental
Rent in respect of each Component in an amount equal to the
product of (i) the Check/Overhaul Cost, times (ii) the
result of (A) the time since such Component was new or since
such Component had a full
PAGE 33
restoration shop visit or complete overhaul, divided by (B)
the mean time between overhaul ("Interval") for such
Component as defined or estimated by the manufacturer of
such Component, adjusted for the actual utilization of such
Component by Lessee during the last six (6) months of the
Term and as provided in clause (3) below.
(3) The amount of Supplemental Rent calculated in accordance
with clause (2) above shall be adjusted by deducting from
the aggregate amount so calculated an amount equal to the
sum of the Check/Overhaul Cost allocable to the first 20% of
the Interval for each Component, provided that any such
aggregate adjustment shall not result in a negative number
and in no event shall Lessor be obligated to make any
payment to Lessee under this Clause 5.3.2.
(4) On the Expiry Date, if the time remaining on the life of any
Life Limited Part is less than 80%, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor an amount equal to the product of (i) the actual cost
to replace such Life Limited Part, times (ii) the
difference, expressed as a percentage of the life of such
Life Limited Part, between (A) 80% and (B) the time
remaining on the life of such Life Limited Part expressed as
a percentage. If the time remaining on the life of any Life
Limited Part is more than 80%, Lessee shall receive a credit
against any amounts then owing by it under clauses (2) and
(3) above in an amount equal to the product of (i) the cost
to replace such life Limited Part as determined above, times
(ii) the difference, expressed as a percentage of the life
of such Life Limited Part, between (A) 20% and (B) the time
used on such Life Limited Part since new, expressed as a
percentage.
5.4 PAYMENTS
5.4.1 All payments by Lessee to Lessor under this Agreement will be
made for value on the due date in Dollars, and if in relation to
amounts incurred by Lessor other than in Dollars, in the Dollar
equivalent advised by Lessor's bankers, and in same day funds
settled through the New York Clearing House System or such other
funds as may for the time being be customary for the settlement
in New York City of international payments in Dollars by
telegraphic transfer to the Payment Account. Lessee shall make
all arrangements in advance to ensure that payment is received as
above by Lessor on the due date.
5.4.2 All payments by Lessor to Lessee under this Agreement will be
made by telegraphic transfer to the Payment Account in Dollars,
and if in relation to amounts incurred by Lessee other than in
Dollars, in the Dollar equivalent advised by Lessor's bankers.
PAGE 34
5.5 GROSS-UP
5.5.1 All payments by Lessee under or in connection with this
Agreement will be made without set-off or counterclaim, free and
clear of and without deduction for or on account of any or all
Taxes.
5.5.2 All Taxes in respect of payments under this Agreement shall be
for the account of and will be paid by Lessee prior to the date
on which penalties apply, except to the extent that such payment
is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, in
respect of which adequate reserves have been provided by Lessee
and non-payment of which does not give rise to any material
likelihood of the Aircraft or any interest therein being sold,
forfeited or otherwise lost or of criminal liability on the part
of Lessor.
5.5.3 If Lessee is compelled by law to make payment subject to any Tax
and Lessor or Beneficiary does not actually receive for its own
benefit on the due date a net amount equal to the full amount
provided for under this Agreement, Lessee will pay all necessary
additional amounts to ensure receipt by Lessor of the full amount
so provided for.
5.6 TAXES AND OTHER PAYMENTS
Except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein, Lessee will
promptly pay, or promptly after demand indemnify Lessor and
Beneficiary against:
(1) all Taxes and other fees or charges of any nature imposed by any
Government Entity or other person including any airport or
provider of service with respect to this Agreement, including
without limitation the delivery, leasing, possession, use,
operation, maintenance, storage, return or replacement of any
Engine or Part or any other disposition or dealing by Lessee with
or relating to the Aircraft during the Term; and
(2) all rent, fees, charges, Taxes and other amounts in respect of
any premises where the Aircraft or any Part thereof is located
from time to time;
except to the extent that such payment is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings, in respect of which adequate
reserves have been provided by Lessee and non-payment of which does
not give rise to any material likelihood of the Aircraft or any
interest therein being sold, forfeited or otherwise lost or of
criminal liability on the part of Lessor.
5.7 VALUE ADDED TAX
5.7.1 For the purposes of this sub-clause:
(1) "VAT" means value added tax and any sales or turnover tax,
imposition or levy of a like nature (other than Lessor
Taxes); and
PAGE 35
(2) "supply" includes anything on which VAT is chargeable.
5.7.2 Lessee will pay to Lessor or the relevant taxing authority, as
the case may be, the amount of any VAT chargeable in respect of
any supply for VAT purposes under this Agreement.
5.7.3 Each amount stated as payable by Lessee under this Agreement is
exclusive of VAT (if any) and is accordingly to be construed as a
reference to that amount plus any VAT in respect of it.
5.8 INFORMATION
If Lessee is required by any applicable law, or by any third party, to
deliver any report or return in connection with any Taxes, Lessee
will, to the extent the same shall be pertinent, state therein that
Lessee is exclusively responsible for the use and operation of the
Aircraft and for any Taxes arising therefrom and Lessee will on
request supply a copy of the report or return to Lessor. Lessor shall
provide Lessee with such information in the possession of Lessor or
otherwise reasonably available to it as Lessee may reasonably request
to fulfill its tax filing requirements under this Clause 5.8 and any
audit information request arising in connection with the Taxes subject
to this Clause 5. If any report or return is required to be made with
respect to any obligations of Lessee under this Clause 5, Lessee will
make such report or return, provided that Lessee shall have no
obligation to file any such return or report if (A) Lessor, after
Lessee's written request therefor, shall have failed to furnish Lessee
with such information as is peculiarly within the control of, or
reasonably available to Lessor and is necessary for the filing of such
report or return, or (B) such return or report would or should have
been filed by Lessor even if it had not entered into this Agreement.
5.9 TAXATION OF INDEMNITY PAYMENTS
5.9.1 If and to the extent that any sums payable to an Indemnitee by
Lessee under this Agreement by way of indemnity are insufficient,
by reason of any Taxes payable in respect of those sums, for such
Indemnitee to discharge the corresponding liability to the
relevant third party (including any taxation authority), or to
reimburse such Indemnitee for the cost incurred by it to a third
party (including any taxation authority), Lessee will pay to such
Indemnitee such sum as will after the Tax liability has been
fully satisfied leave such Indemnitee with the same amount as it
would have been entitled to receive in the absence of that
liability, together with interest on the amount of the deficit at
the rate of interest stated in Clause 5.10 (both before and after
judgment) in respect of the period commencing on the date on
which the payment of the Tax is finally due until payment by
Lessee.
5.9.2 If and to the extent that any sums constituting (directly or
indirectly) an indemnity to an Indemnitee but paid by Lessee to
any person other than
PAGE 36
such Indemnitee are treated as taxable in the hands of such
Indemnitee, Lessee will pay to such Indemnitee, within 5 Business
Days of a written demand accompanied by reasonable evidence of
liability, such sum as will after the tax liability has been
fully satisfied indemnify such Indemnitee to the same extent as
it would have been indemnified in the absence of such liability.
5.10 DEFAULT INTEREST
If Lessee fails to pay any amount payable under this Agreement or
another Lessee Document on the due date, Lessee will pay on demand
from time to time to Lessor or such other party as shall have a right
thereto interest (both before and after judgment) on that amount, from
the due date to the date of payment in full by Lessee to Lessor or
such other party, at the rate calculated by Lessor to be 3% per cent
per annum plus LIBOR at the rate quoted for the period closest to the
length of time from such due date to such payment date. All such
interest will be compounded monthly and calculated on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year.
5.11 CONTEST
If a claim is made in writing against any Lessor (whether on audit or
otherwise) or if Lessee disputes the amount of any Tax payable by
Lessor for which Lessee is required to reimburse or indemnify
hereunder for any Taxes that Lessee is required to pay or indemnify
against pursuant to Clause 5.6, Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing
within 10 Business Days of the receipt of such claim, provided that a
failure to so notify will not diminish or relieve Lessee of any
obligations under Clause 5.6, except to the extent Lessee is entitled
to contest or to cause Lessor to contest such Taxes and Lessee's or
Lessor's successful defense of such claim is materially prejudiced or
precluded thereby. If the amount of the claim exceeds $25,000 and if
requested by Lessee in accordance with this Clause 5.11 and in writing
within 30 Business Days after receipt by Lessee of the notice
described in the preceding sentence, Lessor shall in good faith and
with due diligence contest (including pursuing administrative and
judicial appeals) in the name of Lessor or, if permitted by law and
requested by Lessee in the name of Lessee, the validity, applicability
or amount of such Taxes in appropriate administrative or judicial
proceedings to be determined by Lessor, provided that (1) prior to
taking such action, Lessee shall have agreed to pay Lessor all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses that Lessor may incur in connection
with contesting such claim, including, without limitation, all
reasonable legal and accountant's fees and disbursements and costs of
administrative and judicial proceedings, and the amount of any
interest or penalties that may be attributable to and payable as a
result of contesting such claim (or, at Lessor's request, Lessee shall
advance to Lessor funds with which to pay the foregoing amounts, and
Lessor's obligation to contest any Tax shall be suspended during any
period Lessee does not advance sufficient funds to pay such amounts as
they accrue or become payable), (2) if such contest is to be initiated
by the payment of, and the claiming of a refund for such Taxes (and
any interest and penalties that also must be paid), Lessee shall have
advanced Lessor sufficient funds (on an interest-free basis)
PAGE 37
to make such payment, (3) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, (4) the action to be taken will not result in a material
risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of Lessor's title to the Aircraft
(unless Lessee provides a bond or other security satisfactory to
Lessor), (5) at Lessor's request, Lessee shall provide to Lessor a
written opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor of independent legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor
that there is a reasonable basis for such contest and (6) Lessee
acknowledges and agrees, in writing, that in the event such contest is
unsuccessful Lessee shall fully indemnify Lessor against such Taxes
(and any related interest and penalties). Notwithstanding that the
conditions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) above
may have been satisfied, Lessor, after consulting in good faith with
Lessee, may elect not to pursue any contest or proceeding pursuant to
the preceding sentence or elect to discontinue (by settlement or
otherwise) any such contest or proceeding commenced pursuant to the
preceding sentence, but such election shall constitute a waiver by
Lessor of any right to payment or indemnification pursuant to Clause
5.6 with respect to the adjustment that was the subject of such
proposed contest or proceeding (and any other adjustment the contest
of which is precluded by such failure to contest) and, if Lessee has
theretofore paid or provided Lessor with funds to pay any amount with
respect to such adjustment, Lessor shall promptly repay such amount to
Lessee. If Lessor shall obtain a refund in whatever form of all or any
part of any Taxes that Lessee shall have paid or reimbursed to Lessor
hereunder, Lessor shall, provided that no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, pay to Lessee an amount that is equal to
the sum of the amount of such refund or credit, plus any interest
received on such refund fairly attributable to any Taxes paid by or
with funds provided by Lessee prior to receipt of such refund, reduced
by any Taxes incurred by Lessor by reason of the receipt or accrual of
such refund and interest and net of any expenses described above that
have not been previously reimbursed, and increased by any Tax benefit
realized by Lessor as a result of any payment by Lessor made pursuant
to this sentence, provided further that, if, at the time of such
payment an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Lessor shall hold the amount of such payment as security for the
obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the Lease, and at such time as
there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default, shall pay
such amount to the Lessee. Lessor hereby agrees that it will inform
Lessee of the time and place of, and Lessor will not object to
Lessee's presence at, any proceeding conducted pursuant to this clause
5.11, provided that Lessor shall be entitled to conduct any
proceedings in respect of taxes for which Lessee is not obligated to
indemnify Lessor outside the presence of Lessee and Lessee's presence
also must be allowed by applicable law and provided further that the
conditions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) above
shall have been, and shall continue to be, satisfied.
5.12 COMPUTATIONS
At Lessee's request, the computation by Lessor of any amount payable
by Lessee pursuant to this Clause 5 shall be verified by an
independent accounting firm of national reputation selected by Lessor.
The fees of such accountants shall be paid by Lessee unless such
accountants determine that the amount payable to Lessee is at
PAGE 38
least 25% more, or the amount payable by Lessee is at least 25% less,
than the amount computed by Lessor, in which case such fees shall be
payable by Lessor.
5.13 PAYMENTS ABSOLUTE
Lessee's obligations under this Agreement as to payment are absolute
and unconditional irrespective of any contingency whatsoever including
(but not limited to):
(1) any right of set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right which either party to this Agreement may have against the
other;
(2) any unavailability of the Aircraft for any reason, including, but
not limited to, a requisition of the Aircraft or any prohibition
or interruption of or interference with or other restriction
against Lessee's use, operation or possession of the Aircraft;
(3) any defect in airworthiness, merchantability, fitness for any
purpose, condition, design, or operation of any kind or nature of
the Aircraft for any particular use or trade, or for registration
or documentation under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, or
any Event of Loss in respect of, or any damage to, the Aircraft;
(4) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation, examination or
similar proceedings by or against Lessee;
(5) any invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization
of, or other defect in, this Agreement; and
(6) any other cause which but for this provision would or might
otherwise have the effect of terminating or in any way affecting
any obligation of Lessee under this Agreement.
Nothing in this Clause 5.13 shall be construed to prohibit Lessee from
separately pursuing any claim that it may have from time to time
against Lessor or any other Person with respect to any matter,
provided that any such claim shall not contest the applicability or
enforceability of the foregoing provisions of this Clause 5.13.
6. MANUFACTURERS' WARRANTIES
6.1 BENEFIT OF WARRANTIES
Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Lessor agrees to make available to Lessee such rights as Lessor may
have under any warranty with respect to the Aircraft of any Engine
made by the Manufacturer or the Engine Manufacturer, respectively,
pursuant to their respective standard assignment forms. To the extent
that any warranties and/or rights (if any), express or implied, with
PAGE 39
respect to or otherwise related to the Aircraft, any Engine or any
Part from the Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer or any other
manufacturer, vendor, subcontractor or supplier to Lessor, are not
directly assignable by Lessor to Lessee, Lessor agrees to extend to
Lessee, at Lessee's cost, the benefit of each such warranty and right
to the extent possible.
6.2 PARTS

Lessee will procure that all engines, components, furnishings or
equipment provided by the manufacturer, vendor, subcontractor or
supplier in replacement of a defective Engine or Part pursuant to the

title thereto vests in Lessor free of Liens. On installation those
items will be deemed to be an Engine or Part, as applicable.

At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term as provided
herein, Lessee shall reassign to Lessor, or its designee, without
recourse or warranty, the benefit of any subsisting warranty and right

Lessee at its own cost and expense will do all such things and execute
such documents as may reasonably be required for this purpose.
7. LESSOR'S COVENANTS
7.1 QUIET ENJOYMENT
Lessor covenants that so long as an Event of Default shall not have
occurred and be continuing, (i) Lessee shall quietly enjoy, in
accordance with the terms hereof, the Aircraft and all rents,
revenues, profits and income thereof, without interference from
Lessor, or from any Person lawfully claiming by or through Lessor
(including, without limitation, any Person providing financing or
refinancing for the Aircraft), and (ii) neither Lessor nor any Person
lawfully claiming by or through Lessor shall take or cause to be taken
any action contrary to such right of quiet enjoyment. Lessor shall
cause any Person providing financing or refinancing for the Aircraft
to provide to Lessee a comparable covenant of quiet enjoyment.

has paid to Lessor all amounts which may then be due and payable
under this Agreement, Lessor will:
(a) pay to Lessee the amount of any Rent received in
respect of any period falling after the Redelivery Date
or payment of the Agreed Value, as the case may be;

cure by Lessee to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction of such Event
of Default, and (2) any set-off by Lessor hereunder, but any such
rebate and return of the Letters of Credit or payment shall only
be to the extent of the applicable balance remaining following
such set-off.
7.3 MANUFACTURER CREDIT AND PRODUCT SUPPORT
7.3.1 Lessor shall, on or prior to delivery of the Aircraft hereunder,
assign or shall cause to be assigned or otherwise provided to
Lessee a new operator credit memorandum in the amount of the New
Operator Credit to be issued by Manufacturer under the Purchase

Purchase Agreement, such credit memorandum to be used in
accordance with the terms thereof for the purchase of spare parts
or training from Manufacturer or for the cost of certification to
comply with applicable requirements of the Panamanian aviation
authorities.
7.3.2 Lessor shall, on or prior to delivery of the Aircraft hereunder,
assign or cause to be assigned to Lessee training, product

case may be, respectively.
7.3.3 Lessee shall provide directly to Manufacturer or to Lessor, as
the case may be, all indemnities and insurance coverage, and
perform all related obligations, required by Manufacturer or the
Engine manufacturer in connection with such training, product
support and onsite technical assistance, and shall otherwise

7.4 AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE COST SHARING
Where the cost of any single non-repetitive airworthiness directive to
be accomplished pursuant to Clause 14.8 of Schedule 3 or which Lessee
is otherwise required by the terms of this Agreement to accomplish
exceeds US$**Material Redacted**, Lessor shall pay to Lessee, as long
as no Default has occurred and is continuing, an amount calculated in
accordance with the following formula:
C x (N - R) / N
Where
N = **Material Redacted**
R = the number of complete months remaining in the Term after
completion of the modification
C = the cost of the modification in excess of US$**Material
Redacted**.
8. LESSEE'S COVENANTS
8.1 DURATION
Subject to Clause 10.2, the undertakings of Lessee under this
Agreement will:
(1) except as otherwise stated, be performed at the expense of
Lessee; and
(2) remain in force until the earlier to occur of (a) Redelivery of
the Aircraft to Lessor in accordance with this Agreement either
at the end of the Term, or earlier as provided herein, and
payment of all obligations of Lessee hereunder or (b) receipt by
Lessor of the Agreed Value pursuant to an Event of Loss.
8.2 FURTHER COVENANTS
Lessee also covenants to Lessor to perform the covenants set out in
Schedule 3.
9. INSURANCE
9.1 INSURANCES
Lessee will maintain in full force during the Term insurances in
respect of the Aircraft in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Lessor and in conformity with and covering such risks as are set
forth in Schedule 5 hereof (the "Insurances," which expression
includes, where the context so admits, any relevant re-insurance(s))
through such brokers, with such lead underwriters being subject to
such exclusions as may be approved by Lessor, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, and in such amounts and having such deductibles
as are set forth in Schedule 5 hereof. The Insurances will be effected
either:
PAGE 42
(1) on a direct basis with insurers of recognized standing who
normally participate in aviation insurances in the leading
international insurance markets and led by reputable
underwriter(s) approved by Lessor (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); or
(2) with a single insurer or group of insurers approved by Lessor who
does not retain the risk but effects substantial reinsurance with
reinsurers in the leading international insurance markets and
through brokers each of recognized standing and acceptable to
Lessor for a percentage acceptable to Lessor of all risks insured
(such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
9.2 REQUIREMENTS
Lessor's current requirements as to required Insurances are as
specified in this Clause 9 and in Schedule 5. Also, Lessor may request
the addition of additional insureds, as appropriate.
9.3 CHANGE
Lessor shall be entitled to revoke its approval of Lessee's broker or
lead underwriter(s) provided that: (i) there shall have occurred after
the date hereof, any event or series of events which in Lessor's
reasonable opinion, after consultation with Lessee and such broker or
underwriter(s), has adversely affected such broker's or underwriter's
ability to perform its obligations with respect to the Insurances
required to be maintained hereunder; (ii) a majority of Lessee's other
lessors of aircraft consent to the resulting change in broker or lead
underwriter(s); and (iii) similar insurance is then generally
available through other brokers and underwriters in the major
international insurance markets upon terms substantially similar to
the then current policy or policies.
9.4 INSURANCE COVENANTS
Lessee will:
(1) ensure that all legal requirements as to insurance of the
Aircraft, any Engine or any Part which may from time to time be
imposed by the laws of the Jurisdiction of Registration, the
Jurisdiction of Incorporation, or any state to, from, or over
which the Aircraft may be flown, insofar as they affect or
concern the operation of the Aircraft, are complied with and in
particular those requirements, compliance with which is necessary
to ensure that:
(a) the Aircraft is not in material risk of detention or
forfeiture;
(b) the Insurances remain valid and in full force and effect;
and
(c) the interests of the Indemnitees in the Insurances and the
Aircraft, any Engine or any Part are not thereby prejudiced;
PAGE 43
(2) not use, cause or permit the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part to
be used for any purpose or in any manner not covered by the
Insurances or outside any geographical limit imposed by the
Insurances;
(3) comply with the terms and conditions of each policy of the
Insurances and not do, consent or agree to any act or omission
which:
(a) invalidates or may reasonably be expected to invalidate the
Insurances; or
(b) renders, or may reasonably be expected to render, void or
voidable the whole or any part of any of the Insurances; or
(c) brings any particular liability within the scope of an
exclusion or exception to the Insurances;
(4) [Intentionally omitted.]
(5) commence renewal procedures in due time prior to expiry of any of
the Insurances and provide to Lessor:
(a) if requested by Lessor, a written status report of renewal
negotiations 10 days prior to each expiry date;
(b) facsimile or telexed confirmation of completion of renewal
together with summary of conditions prior to each expiry
date; and
(c) certificates of insurance (and where appropriate
certificates of reinsurance) and broker's (and any
reinsurance brokers') letter of undertaking in a form
reasonably acceptable to Lessor in accordance with the
provisions of this Clause 9, in English, detailing the
coverage and confirming the insurers' (and any reinsurers')
agreement to the specified insurance requirements of this
Agreement within 7 days of renewal;
(6) [Intentionally omitted.]
(7) [Intentionally omitted.]
(8) not make any modification or alteration to the Insurances
material and adverse to the interests of any of the Indemnitees;
(9) be responsible for any deductible under the Insurances; and
(10) provide any other insurance and reinsurance related information
in respect of the Insurances as Lessor may reasonably require.
PAGE 44
9.5 FAILURE TO INSURE
If Lessee fails to maintain the Insurances in compliance with this
Agreement, each of the Indemnitees will be entitled but not bound
(without prejudice to any other rights of Lessor under this
Agreement):
(1) to pay the premiums due or to effect and maintain insurances
satisfactory to it or otherwise remedy Lessee's failure in such
manner (including, without limitation to effect and maintain an
"owner's interest" policy) as it considers appropriate. Any sums
so expended by it will become immediately due and payable by
Lessee to Lessor (or an Indemnitee) together with interest
thereon at the rate specified in Clause 5.10, from the date of
expenditure by it up to the date of reimbursement by Lessee; or
(2) at any time while such failure is continuing, to require the
Aircraft to remain at any airport or to proceed to and remain at
any airport designated by it until the failure is remedied to its
satisfaction.
9.6 CONTINUING INDEMNITY
Lessor may require Lessee to effect and to maintain insurance after
the Expiry Date with respect to its liability under the indemnities in
Clause 10 for such period as Lessor may reasonably require (but in no
event for a period longer than the earlier to occur of two years
following the Expiry Date or the next D-check, or equivalent) and
which provides for each Indemnitee to be named as additional insured.
Lessee's obligation in this clause shall not be affected by Lessee's
ceasing to be Lessee of the Aircraft and/or any of the Indemnitees
ceasing to have any interest in respect of the Aircraft.
9.7 APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS
As between Lessor and Lessee:
(1) all insurance proceeds, other than proceeds of insurance
described in Clause 9.8, received as the result of an Event of
Loss occurring during the Term will be paid to Lessor;
(2) all insurance proceeds of any property, damage or loss to the
Aircraft, any Engine or any Part occurring during the Term not
constituting an Event of Loss and in excess of the Damage
Notification Threshold shall be paid to Lessor and applied in
payment (or to reimburse Lessee) for repairs or replacement
property upon Lessor's being satisfied that the repairs or
replacement have been effected in accordance with this Agreement.
Insurance proceeds in amounts below the Damage Notification
Threshold may be paid by the insurer directly to Lessee or
repairers in respect of repairs or replacements only;
PAGE 45
(3) all insurance proceeds in respect of third party liability will
be paid by the insurers to the relevant third party in
satisfaction of the relevant liability or to Lessor or Lessee in
reimbursement of any payment so made by them with the agreement
of the insurers; and
(4) notwithstanding Clauses 9.7(1), (2) or (3), if at the time of the
payment of any such insurance proceeds a Default has occurred and
is continuing, all such proceeds will be paid to or retained by
Lessor as security for the performance of Lessee's obligations
hereunder and may be applied toward payment of any amounts which
may then be payable by Lessee under this Agreement or any Sister
Lease in such order as Lessor reasonably sees fit. The amount so
retained or the balance thereof after application of any portion
thereof as provided in this Clause 9.7(4) shall be paid to Lessee
at such time as such Default shall have ceased to exist.
9.8 INSURANCE FOR LESSEE'S OWN ACCOUNTS
Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent Lessee, at its sole expense,
from carrying insurance covering the Aircraft, the Airframe, the
Engines or any engine or engines from time to time installed on the
Airframe or any Part in addition to the Insurances required under this
Clause 9, or in amounts greater than those required under this Clause
9 (any such insurance "Additional Insurance"), provided that such
Additional Insurance does not adversely affect the rights of Lessor,
Beneficiary or any other Additional Insured to make any claim or
obtain recovery or coverage in full under any of the Insurances
required to be maintained pursuant to this Clause 9. The proceeds of
any such Additional Insurance shall be paid directly to and shall be
deemed the sole property of Lessee.
10. INDEMNITY
10.1 GENERAL
Except as set forth in Clause 10.3, Lessee agrees to defend, indemnify
and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against any and all claims,
proceedings, losses, liabilities, suits, judgment, costs (including
attorneys' fees and related costs), expenses, penalties or fines (each
a "Claim") (where any such Claim relates to an occurrence suffered,
incurred, or arising out of an event the happening of which was during
the Term or prior to redelivery of the Aircraft, but not before the
Term) regardless of when the Claim is made whether or not it arises
out of or is attributable to any act or omission, negligent or
otherwise, of any Indemnitee:
(1) which may at any time be suffered or incurred directly or
indirectly as a result of or connected with the possession,
delivery, performance, management, registration, control,
maintenance, condition, service, repair, overhaul, leasing, use,
operation or return of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part (either
in the air or on the ground) whether or not the Claim may be
PAGE 46
attributable to any defect in the Aircraft, any Engine or any
Part or to its design, testing or use or otherwise;
(2) which arises otherwise from or in connection with the leasing of
the Aircraft to Lessee under this Agreement and any act or
omission of Lessee;
(3) which arises out of any act or omission which invalidates or
which renders voidable any of the Insurances; or
(4) which, except as to the Manufacturer, may at any time be suffered
or incurred as a consequence of any design, production, article
or material in the Aircraft, any Engine or any part or its
operation or use constituting an infringement of patent,
copyright, trademark, design or other proprietary right or a
breach of any obligation of confidentiality owed to any person;
but excluding any Claim to the extent that the Claim is covered
pursuant to another indemnity provision of this Agreement or to the
extent it arises solely as a result of Lessor Taxes or a Lessor Lien.
10.2 DURATION
The indemnities contained in this Agreement will continue in full
force after the Expiry Date.
10.3 EXCEPTIONS
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lessee shall not be
required to indemnify any Indemnitee in respect of any Claim arising
from or otherwise attributable to:
(1) acts or events which occur prior to execution of this Agreement
or after Redelivery of the Aircraft to the Lessor in the manner
and in the condition required hereunder, provided that nothing
herein shall be deemed to release Lessee from any of its
obligations hereunder that provide for performance after
termination of the Term;
(2) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee;
(3) Lessor Taxes;
(4) Lessor Liens;
(5) ordinary and usual operating or overhead expenses of such
Indemnitee other than arising in connection with a Default or an
Event of Default hereunder;
(6) the financing of the Aircraft or any voluntary or involuntary
assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition
(collectively a "Transfer") of all or any interest of such
Indemnitee in or to the Aircraft, any Engine or Part or
PAGE 47
this Lease by any Person other than the Lessee unless such
Transfer arises in connection with the exercise by Lessor of any
available remedies during the existence of an Event of Default);
and
(7) as to the Manufacturer, any breach by Manufacturer or Engine
Manufacturer of any of their respective warranties as set forth
in the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or instrument
between Manufacturer, Engine Manufacturer or any vendor, supplier
or subcontractor of Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer, or as a
consequence of any design or production defect.
Lessee shall be subrogated to the rights and remedies which any
Indemnitee may have against the Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer
or any supplier, vendor, subcontractor or other manufacturer of any
Part or any other Person claiming against such Indemnitee, provided
Lessee shall have satisfied its indemnification obligations hereunder.
If any Indemnitee obtains a recovery of all or any portion of any
indemnity amount which Lessee has paid in full to such Indemnitee,
provided that at such time as no Default has occurred and is then
continuing, such Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee the net amount
recovered by such Indemnitee within ten Business Days after receipt
thereof.
11. EVENTS OF LOSS
11.1 PRE-DELIVERY
If an Event of Loss occurs prior to delivery of the Aircraft to
Lessee, this Agreement will immediately terminate and except as
expressly stated in this Agreement neither party will have any further
obligation or liability under this Agreement other than pursuant to
Clause 17.9, except that Lessor will return to Lessee the Cash Deposit
and the Deposit Letter of Credit.
11.2 POST-DELIVERY
If an Event of Loss occurs in respect of the Aircraft after delivery
of the Aircraft to Lessee, Lessee will pay the Agreed Value to Lessor
on or prior to the earlier of (1) 90 days after the Event of Loss and
(2) the date of receipt of insurance proceeds in respect of that Event
of Loss. Subject to the rights of any insurers and reinsurers or other
third party, upon irrevocable payment in full to Lessor of that amount
and all other amounts which may then be payable to Lessor under this
Agreement, Lessor will without recourse or warranty (except as to
Lessor's Liens) and without further act, be deemed to have transferred
to Lessee all of Lessor's rights to any Engines and Parts not
installed when the Event of Loss occurred, all on an as-is, where-is
basis, and will at Lessee's reasonable expense (including Taxes, if
any), execute and deliver such bills of sale and other documents and
instruments as Lessee may reasonably request to evidence (on the
public record or otherwise) the transfer and the vesting of
PAGE 48
Lessor's rights in such Engines and Parts in Lessee, free and clear of
all of Lessor Liens.
11.3 ENGINES
If an Event of Loss occurs with respect to any Engine not then
installed on the Aircraft, or upon any Event of Loss with respect to
an Engine installed on the Aircraft not involving an Event of Loss of
the Aircraft occurring after delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee,
Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice thereof and Lessee
shall replace such Engine as soon as reasonably possible by duly
conveying to Lessor title to another engine owned or to be acquired by
Lessee, which engine shall be free and clear of all Liens other than
Permitted Liens, and shall be of the same make or model or an improved
or advanced version, in such operating condition and of such value and
utility as the Engine which sustained the Event of Loss was (or would
have been if it had been maintained in accordance with the terms
hereof). Such replacement engine shall be deemed an "Engine" as
defined herein. Lessee agrees to take such action as Lessor may
reasonably request in order that any such replacement Engine shall be
duly and properly titled in Lessor and leased hereunder to the same
extent as the Engine replaced thereby. Lessee's obligation to pay the
Rent hereunder shall continue in full force and effect, but Lessee
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Lessor the amount of insurance
or condemnation proceeds, if any, received by Lessor with respect to
such replaced Engine, subject to insurers' rights.
11.4 REQUISITION
During any requisition for use or hire of the Aircraft, any Engine or
Part which does not constitute or has not matured into an Event of
Loss and provided always that it does not arise out of any act or
omission of Lessor, Beneficiary or any Person claiming by or through
Lessor or Beneficiary:
(1) the Rent and other charges payable under this Agreement will not
be suspended or abated either in whole or in part, and Lessee
will not be released from any of its other obligations under the
Agreement (other than operational obligations with which Lessee
is unable to comply solely by virtue of the requisition); and
(2) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee will
be entitled to any hire paid by the requisitioning authority in
respect of the Term, but if a Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lessor will be entitled to such hire to be held as
security for Lessee's obligations hereunder and paid over to
Lessee at such time as such Default shall not be continuing, if
not applied in full or partial satisfaction of such obligations.
Lessee will, as soon as practicable after the end of any such
requisition, cause the Aircraft to be put into the condition
required by this Agreement. Lessor will be entitled to all
compensation payable by the requisitioning authority in respect
of any change in the structure, state or condition of the
Aircraft arising during the period of requisition, and Lessor
will apply such compensation in
PAGE 49
reimbursing Lessee for the cost of complying with its obligations
under this Agreement in respect of any such change, but so that,
if any Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor may apply
the compensation or hire in or towards settlement of any amounts
owing by Lessee under this Agreement.
12. REDELIVERY OF AIRCRAFT
12.1 NOTIFICATION
Lessee will notify and provide Lessor with a schedule for the
Redelivery of the Aircraft not later than 30 days prior to the
commencement of the Redelivery Check, and Schedule 4 shall apply in
relation to the Redelivery Check.
12.2 REDELIVERY
On the Expiry Date or termination of the leasing of the Aircraft under
this Agreement, unless an Event of Loss has occurred, Lessee will, at
its expense, redeliver the Aircraft including all Documents and
Records to Lessor at the Redelivery Location in a condition complying
with this Agreement and in particular Schedule 4, free and clear of
all Liens and Permitted Liens (other than Lessor Liens).
12.3 REDELIVERY ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Provided Lessee has complied with its obligations under this
Agreement, upon redelivery of the Aircraft by Lessee to Lessor at the
Redelivery Location, Lessor will deliver to Lessee an acknowledgment
confirming that Lessee has redelivered the Aircraft to Lessor in
accordance with this Agreement.
12.4 SHORT TERM STORAGE
At the election of Lessor, the Lessee shall store the Aircraft either
at Lessee's facility or, at Lessee's option, at another facility that
is satisfactory to Lessor for a period of up to 30 days following
Redelivery of the Aircraft by Lessee to Lessor, so long as Lessor has
given Lessee 30 days' written notice of such storage intent prior to
the Redelivery Date. If Lessor gives Lessee written notice of its
intent to store the Aircraft less than 30 days prior to the Redelivery
Date, Lessee shall only be obligated to provide such storage if space
is available in the Lessee's storage facilities. Lessee will maintain
the Aircraft per the Manufacturer's recommended storage program, and
Lessor shall pay all actual and reasonable expenses of such storage
and maintenance.
12.5 EXPENSES
All expenses associated with the Redelivery Check, in accordance with
this Clause 12 and Schedule 4, and any other Redelivery requirement,
will be at the expense of the Lessee, unless specifically noted in
this Agreement, or otherwise mutually agreed in writing.
PAGE 50
12.6 WARRANTY TRANSFER
Any warranties remaining from work accomplished by outside vendors or
Parts installed on the Aircraft will be transferred to Lessor. For any
component repair or overhaul performed by Lessee's internal shops,
warranties will be transferred to Lessor on the understanding that
Lessee's warranty is substantially the same as the industry standard
of that component.
12.7 NON-COMPLIANCE
To the extent that at the time of Final Inspection and demonstration
flight, the Aircraft does not comply with the Redelivery condition of
this Agreement, Lessee will at Lessor's option:
(1) immediately rectify the non-compliance at Lessee's expense and to
the extent the non-compliance extends beyond the Expiry Date, the
Term will automatically be extended and this Agreement will
remain in force until the non-compliance has been rectified to
the mutual satisfaction of both parties, or
(2) redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor and indemnify Lessor, and
provide to Lessor's satisfaction security for such indemnity,
against the cost of putting the Aircraft into the condition
required by this Agreement, and pay to Lessor such actual and
reasonable costs to troubleshoot and repair the non-compliant
item as incurred by Lessor within 5 business days after the
receipt of Lessor's invoice therefor, provided that all such
repairs shall be completed within 90 days of Redelivery.
12.8 EXPORT
At Redelivery, Lessee will provide to Lessor all documents necessary
to export (if applicable) the Aircraft from the Redelivery Location if
outside the USA (including without limitation, a valid and subsisting
export license for the Aircraft). Lessee will also provide to Lessor
all necessary assistance to enable the Lessor to obtain customs
clearance and any other permissions and documentation relevant to
exportation from the Redelivery Location if outside the USA and pay
any Taxes incurred in respect of the exportation of the Aircraft from
the Habitual Base.
12.9 LATE REDELIVERY
If the Aircraft is not duly redelivered on the Expiry Date due to
delays not caused by Lessor and unforeseen or foreseen in meeting
return conditions, Lessee will be liable to Lessor (1) during the one
month period following the Expiry Date, for Rent on the basis of the
applicable Rent in the preceding Rental Period, and (2) thereafter for
150% such Rent. If in the reasonable judgment of Lessor the delay
could have been avoided by the prudent planning of Lessee, Lessee will
be liable to Lessor for Rent in the amount of 150% of the otherwise
applicable Rent commencing on the fifteenth (15th) day following the
scheduled Expiry Date. In each case, Rent will be prorated
PAGE 51
on a daily basis in an amount equal to 1/30th of the monthly Rent and
payable on a weekly basis, in advance, for each day following the
Expiry Date, until the Aircraft is duly redelivered. Following
redelivery of the Aircraft, Rent will be adjusted for the actual
number of days between the Expiry Date and the actual Redelivery Date.
Any excess amounts paid will be returned to Lessee upon satisfaction
of all open items associated with the Redelivery. During this extended
period, all of the Lessee's other responsibilities and obligations
will remain in full force and effect and Lessee will use its best
commercially reasonable efforts to redeliver the Aircraft as soon as
possible.

(b) either Letter of Credit is not in full force or, for any
reason ceases to constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the issuer; or
(c) Lessee fails to provide and deliver replacement, renewal or
further Letters of Credit pursuant to Clause 5.1; or
(d) any of the events listed in sub-clauses 13.1(7), (8) or (9)
apply to that issuer (references in those sub-clauses to
Lessee being deemed to be to the issuer) and Lessee has not
provided to Lessor other letters of credit in the principal
amount and in substantially the same form of the Letters of
Credit issued or confirmed by a bank reasonably satisfactory
to Lessor in Lessor's sole discretion, within 10 days of the
occurrence of that event.
13.2 RIGHTS
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Lessor may at its
option (and without limitation or prejudice to any other rights and
remedies that may be available to Lessor under this Agreement or at
law or equity), at any time thereafter:
(1) by notice to Lessee and with immediate effect unilaterally and as
a matter of law terminate the lease of the Aircraft hereunder
(but without prejudice to the continuing obligations of Lessee
under this Agreement), whereupon all rights of Lessee under this
Agreement shall cease without any further action or judicial
order; and/or
(2) proceed by appropriate court action or actions to enforce
performance of this Agreement and/or to recover damages for the
breach of this Agreement; and/or
(3) terminate the lease of the Aircraft hereunder as a matter of law
and without further action or judicial order by either:
(a) taking possession of the Aircraft, for which purpose Lessor
may enter any premises belonging to or in the occupation of
or under the control of Lessee where the Aircraft may be
located, or cause the Aircraft to be redelivered to Lessor
at an airport designated by the Lessor (or such other
location as Lessor may require), and Lessor is hereby
irrevocably by way of security for Lessee's obligations
under this Agreement appointed attorney for Lessee in
causing the redelivery or in directing the pilots of Lessee
or other pilots to fly the Aircraft to
PAGE 56
that airport and will have all the powers and authorizations
necessary for taking that action; or
(b) serving notice requiring Lessee to redeliver the Aircraft to
Lessor at an airport designated by the Lessor in the USA.
13.3 EXPORT
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and Lessor terminates
this Agreement pursuant to Clause 13.2, Lessor may sell or otherwise
deal with the Aircraft as if this Agreement had never been made and
Lessee will at the request of Lessor take all steps necessary to
effect (if applicable) export of the Aircraft from the country where
the Aircraft is then situated and any other steps necessary to enable
the Aircraft to be immediately redelivered to Lessor in accordance
with this Agreement. Lessee hereby irrevocably and by way of security
for its obligations under this Agreement appoints Lessor as its
attorney to execute and deliver any documentation and to do any act or
thing required in connection with the foregoing, including, but not
limited to, filing any documents and taking any actions necessary for
the purpose of requesting cancellation of the registration of the
Aircraft with the Air Authority.
13.4 DEFAULT PAYMENTS
If:
(1) Default occurs and is continuing; or
(2) the Aircraft is not delivered on the proposed Delivery Date by
reason of failure of Lessee to satisfy any conditions to that
delivery except in the event of an Excusable Delay;
Lessee will indemnify Lessor on demand against any loss (including
loss of profit), damage, expense, cost or inability which Lessor may
sustain or incur directly or indirectly as a result thereof including
but not limited to:
(a) any loss of profit suffered by Lessor because of Lessor's
inability to place the Aircraft on lease with another lessee
on terms as favorable to Lessor as this Agreement or because
the following are not as profitable to Lessor as such lease
would have been but for such Default or non-delivery
referred to in (1) and (2) above, namely (i) whatever use if
any to which Lessor is able to put the Aircraft as an
alternative to the Lease under this Agreement or (ii) any
consequent sale or disposal by Lessor of the Aircraft and
the funds arising upon such sale or disposal; and
(b) any loss, cost, expense, or liability sustained or incurred
by Lessor owing to Lessee's failure to redeliver the
Aircraft on the date, at the place and in the condition
required by this Agreement.
PAGE 57
13.5 SURVIVAL
All the representations, warranties, indemnities and unperformed
covenants and Lessor's rights contained in this Agreement shall
survive and continue in full force after the Expiry Date,
notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the lease of the
Aircraft for any reason whatsoever.
14. ASSIGNMENT, NOVATION
14.1 LIEN
Lessee will not assign, or create or permit to exist any Lien, other
than Permitted Liens, over, any of its rights under this Agreement,
the other Lessee Documents or the Insurances.
14.2 LEASE ASSIGNMENT/NOVATION
Subject at all times and in all cases to Lessee's rights under this
Agreement and such other restrictions as are set forth herein, Lessor,
at its sole cost and expense, may sell, assign, pledge, transfer or
convey (in each case a "Transfer") to any Person (each a
"Transferee"), any or all of Lessor's rights, title and interest in,
to and under this Agreement and in respect of the Aircraft; provided
however, that no such Transfer shall, directly or indirectly, (i)
materially increase Lessee's obligations, duties or liabilities under
this Agreement or in respect of the Aircraft in any manner whatsoever,
(ii) diminish or adversely affect Lessee's rights under this Agreement
or in respect of the Aircraft; (iii) be made to any airline, or (iv)
otherwise cause Lessee to incur any obligations, cost or expense in
excess of those for which it would have been responsible in the
absence of such Transfer; provided further however, that (a) any
Transferee, whether of all or any part of Lessor's interest in and to
this Agreement or the Aircraft, shall have executed and delivered to
Lessee written confirmation in form reasonably satisfactory to Lessee
that such Transferee agrees to be bound by all of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and (b) any Transferee, whether of all or
any part of Lessor's interest in and to this Agreement or the
Aircraft, shall have executed and delivered to Lessee, a letter of
quiet enjoyment, in form and substance substantially equivalent to
Clause 7.1 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any
Transfer of this Agreement or the Aircraft as security for any
obligations of Lessor (whether in respect of any financing
arrangements made by Lessor in respect of the Aircraft or otherwise),
Lessor shall remain fully liable to Lessee for the prompt and due
payment and performance of all of its duties, liabilities and
obligations under this Agreement to the full extent as if no such
Transfer had been made. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that should
Lessor sell, assign transfer or convey to a Transferee, other than by
way of security, all of Lessor's interest under this Agreement and in
the Aircraft, Lessor shall thereupon be relieved of all of its
obligations hereunder and Lessor's Transferee shall succeed to all of
Lessor's rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement,
subject however to Lessor's compliance with the terms and provisions
of this Clause.
PAGE 58
Subject to compliance by Lessor with this Clause 14.2, lessee shall
execute and deliver, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, any and all
instruments or documents reasonably requested by Lessor and shall
otherwise reasonably cooperate with Lessor in connection with and to
effectuate any such Transfer.
15. ILLEGALITY
If, notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 17.7, it becomes unlawful in
any jurisdiction for Lessor or Lessee to give effect to their respective
obligations as contemplated by this Agreement, the affected party shall
notify the other in writing. Lessor and Lessee will consult in good faith
as to any steps which may be taken to restructure the transaction to avoid
that unlawfulness but neither party will be under no obligation to take any
such steps. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as Lessor in its discretion
considers appropriate or advisable while any such illegality exists and
prior to any such cure thereof, Lessor may by notice in writing to Lessee
terminate the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement. Upon any such
termination, Lessee will immediately redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor as
follows: (i) if the illegality causing such termination relates to the
rights or powers of Lessee and is attributable to the laws or regulations
of the Republic of Panama or any other jurisdiction with jurisdiction over
the rights or powers of Lessee, Lessee shall redeliver the Aircraft to
Lessor in accordance with the requirements of Clause 12 and Schedule 4;
(ii) if the illegality causing such termination relates to the rights or
powers of Lessor or Beneficiary and is attributable to the laws of the USA
or any other jurisdiction with jurisdiction over the rights or powers of
Lessor or Beneficiary, Lessee shall return the Aircraft to Lessor in
accordance with the requirements of Clauses 12.2, 12.4 12.5 12.6 and 12.8
of this Agreement, together with Clauses 1.0, 2.4, 2.8, 2.14, 2.15, 3.1,
4.1, 4.3 and 5.1 through 5.5 of Schedule 4.

ANY THIRD PARTY OR FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, REVENUE OR PROFIT OR FOR
ANY OTHER DIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
16.2 CERTIFICATE OF ACCEPTANCE
DELIVERY BY LESSEE TO LESSOR OF THE CERTIFICATE OF ACCEPTANCE WILL BE
CONCLUSIVE PROOF AS BETWEEN LESSOR AND
PAGE 60
LESSEE THAT LESSEE HAS EXAMINED AND INVESTIGATED THE AIRCRAFT, THAT
THE AIRCRAFT AND THE DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS ARE SATISFACTORY TO LESSEE
AND THAT LESSEE HAS IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY ACCEPTED THE
AIRCRAFT FOR LEASE HEREUNDER WITHOUT ANY RESERVATIONS WHATSOEVER
EXCEPT AS MAY BE STATED THEREIN.
17. MISCELLANEOUS
17.1 WAIVERS, REMEDIES, CUMULATIVE
The rights of Lessor under this Agreement:
(1) may be exercised as often as necessary;
(2) are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under any law; and
(3) may be waived only in writing and specifically.
Delay in the exercise or non-exercise of any such right will not
constitute a waiver of that right.
17.2 DELEGATION/AGENCY AGREEMENT
Lessor may delegate to any person or persons all or any of the trusts,
powers or discretions vested in it under this Agreement and any such
delegation may be made upon such terms and conditions and subject to
such regulations (including power to sub-delegate) as Lessor
determines in its absolute discretion, provided that Lessor shall
remain responsible for the performance of any such trusts, powers and
discretions so delegated.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, certain obligations remain to be
performed by Lessor in connection with the manufacture, fabrication
and completion of the Aircraft by Manufacturer, which obligations,
including the furnishing of certain equipment for the Aircraft, will
be performed by Lessee. Lessee will act as Lessor's agent with respect
to such matters as set forth in, and pursuant to, the terms of an
agency agreement to be entered into by Lessor and Lessee in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee. Lessee will
perform its obligations as set forth in such agency agreement and
provide the Aircraft equipment which must be provided by Lessee within
the time periods required by Manufacturer, save for excusable delay.
17.3 CERTIFICATES
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, any certificate or
determination by Lessor as to any rate of interest or as to any other
amount payable under this Agreement will, in the absence of manifest
error, be conclusive and binding on Lessee provided that the same
shall be accompanied by a written explanation, or
PAGE 61
reasonable detail, as to the calculation or determination of any
amount stated to be payable therein.
17.4 APPROPRIATION
If any sum paid or recovered in respect of the liabilities of Lessee
under this Agreement is less than the amount then due, Lessor may
apply that sum to amounts due under this Agreement in such proportions
and order and generally in such manner as Lessor may reasonably
determine.
17.5 CURRENCY INDEMNITY
17.5.1 If Lessor receives an amount in respect of Lessee's liability
under this Agreement or if such liability is converted into a
claim, proof, judgment or order in a currency other than the
currency in which the amount is expressed to be payable under
this Agreement (the "contractual currency"), then:
(1) Lessee will indemnify Lessor as an independent obligation
against any loss arising out of or as a result of such
conversion;
(2) If the amount received by Lessor, when converted into the
contractual currency (at the market rate at which Lessor is
able on the relevant date to purchase the contractual
currency with such other currency) is less than the amount
owed in the contractual currency, Lessee will, immediately
on demand, pay to Lessor an amount in the contractual
currency equal to the deficit; and
(3) Lessee will pay to Lessor on demand any exchange costs and
Taxes payable in connection with the conversion.
17.5.2 Lessee waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay
any amount under this Agreement in a currency other than the
contractual currency.
17.6 SET-OFF
Lessor may set off any matured obligation owed by Lessee under this
Agreement, any Sister Lease or any other agreement between Lessor (or
any affiliate or subsidiary of Lessor) and Lessee (each an "Other
Agreement") in respect of which an Event of Default (or similar event)
has occurred and is continuing (to the extent beneficially owned by
Lessor) against any obligation (whether or not matured) owed by Lessor
to Lessee, regardless of the place of payment or currency. If the
obligations are in different currencies, Lessor may convert either
obligation at the market rate of exchange available for the purpose of
the set-off. If an obligation is unascertained or unliquidated, Lessor
may in good faith estimate that obligation and set off in respect of
the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other
when the obligation is ascertained or liquidated. Lessor will not be
obliged to pay amounts to Lessee under this Agreement or any Other
Agreements in respect of
PAGE 62
which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing so long as
any sums which are then due to Lessor by Lessee under this Agreement
remain unpaid and any such amounts which would otherwise be due will
fall due only if and when Lessee has paid all such sums except to the
extent Lessor otherwise agrees or sets off such amounts against such
payment pursuant to the foregoing.
17.7 SEVERABILITY
If any provision hereof shall be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, then to the extent
permitted by law, (a) all other provisions hereof shall remain in full
force and effect in such jurisdiction and (b) such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality
or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. If,
however, any law pursuant to which such provisions are held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable may be waived, such law is hereby waived by
the parties hereto to the full extent permitted, to the end that this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a valid and binding agreement in all
respects, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
17.8 REMEDY
If Lessee fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement, Lessor
may, without being in any way obliged to do so or responsible for so
doing and without prejudice to the ability of Lessor to treat the
non-compliance as a Default or an Event of Default, effect compliance
on behalf of Lessee, whereupon Lessee shall become liable to pay
immediately any sums expended by Lessor, together with all costs and
expenses (including legal costs) in connection therewith.
17.9 EXPENSES
17.9.1 Whether or not the Aircraft is delivered to Lessee pursuant to
this Agreement unless any failure to effect delivery results from
an act or omission to act by Lessor or Beneficiary not
anticipated or otherwise permitted under this Agreement, Lessee
will pay to Lessor on demand all reasonable expenses (including
investigation and appraisal expenses, attorneys' fees and other
costs) payable or incurred by Lessor in connection with the
enforcement of or preservation of any of Lessor's rights under
this Agreement or any related agreement, or in respect of the
repossession of the Aircraft pursuant to Clause 13.2. 17.9.2 Each
party shall bear all other expenses (including legal,
professional, and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred or payable by
such party in connection with the negotiation, preparation, and
execution of this Agreement and/or the other documents
contemplated hereby.
17.9.3 All expenses payable pursuant to Clause 17.9.1 will be paid in
the currency in which they are incurred by Lessor.
PAGE 63
17.10 TIME OF ESSENCE
The time stipulated in this Agreement for all payments payable by
Lessee to Lessor and for the performance of Lessee's other obligations
under this Agreement will be of the essence.

this Clause 17.12.2 shall affect the right of any Person to serve
legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the
right of any other party to bring any action or proceeding
against Lessee or Lessor, or their respective properties in the
courts of other jurisdictions. LESSEE AND LESSOR HEREBY WAIVE
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING TO WHICH THEY ARE

behalf of itself or with respect to its assets;
(2) waives any such right of immunity which it or its assets now
has or may in the future acquire; and
(3) consents generally in respect of any such proceeding to the
giving of any relief or the issue of any process in

such proceedings.

SCHEDULE 5
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
The Insurances required to be maintained are on the basis of AVN 67B and as
follows:
1. HULL ALL RISKS of Loss or Damage whilst flying and on the ground with
respect to the Aircraft on an "agreed value basis" for the Agreed Value and
with a deductible not exceeding the Insurance Deductible Amount, or such
other amount agreed by Lessor from time to time, and to include deductible
insurances, if necessary, to achieve that limit.
2. WAR AND ALLIED PERILS, being such risks excluded from the Hull All Risks
Policy to the fullest extent available from the leading international
insurance markets including confiscation and requisition by the
Jurisdiction of Incorporation for the Agreed Value.
3. ALL RISKS (INCLUDING WAR AND ALLIED RISK except when on the ground or in
transit other than by air) property insurance on all Engines and Parts when
not installed on the Aircraft or an "agreed value" basis for their full
replacement value and including engine test and running risks.
4. AIRCRAFT THIRD PARTY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PASSENGER, BAGGAGE, CARGO AND MAIL
AND AIRLINE GENERAL THIRD PARTY (INCLUDING PRODUCTS) LEGAL LIABILITY for a
Combined Single Limit (Bodily Injury/Property Damage) of an amount not less
than the Minimum Liability Coverage for the time being any one occurrence
(but in respect of products and personal injury liability this limit may be
an aggregate limit for any and all losses occurring during the currency of
the policy). War and Allied Risks are also to be covered under the Policy
to the fullest extent available from the leading international insurance
markets.
5. All required hull and spares insurance (as specified above), so far as it
relates to the Aircraft will:
(1) name Lessor as sole loss payee up to the Agreed Value; (2) provide
that any loss will be payable in Dollars, and:
(a) in respect of any claim that becomes payable on the basis of an
Event of Loss, settlement shall be made to or to the order of
Lessor up to the Agreed Value;
(b) in respect of any other claim, settlement (net of any policy
deductible) shall be made with such party(ies) as may be
necessary to repair the Aircraft unless otherwise agreed after
consultation between the insurers, Lessee and, where the loss
exceeds the Damage Notification Threshold, Lessor; and
Page 1
(c) if separate Hull "all risk" and "war risks" insurances are
arranged, include a 50/50 provision in accordance with market
practice (AVS. 103 is the current market language).
6. All required liability insurances (specified above) will:
(1) include Lessor, and its successors and assigns and their respective
shareholders, subsidiaries, directors, officers, agents, employees and
Indemnitees as additional insureds for their respective rights and
interests, warranted, each as to itself only, no operational interest;
(2) operate in all respects as if a separate policy had been issued
covering each party insured, but shall not include any claim under
hull and spares insurances (as specified above); notwithstanding the
foregoing, the total liability of insurers shall not exceed the limits
of liability stated in the policy; and
(3) contain a provision confirming that the policy is primary without
right of contribution and the liability of the insurers will not be
affected by any other insurance of which Lessor or Lessee have the
benefit so as to reduce the amount payable to the additional insureds
under such policies.
7. All Insurances will:
(1) be in accordance with normal industry practice of persons operating
similar aircraft in similar circumstances;
(2) provide cover denominated in Dollars and any other currencies which
Lessor may reasonably require in relation to liability insurance;
(3) operate on a world-wide basis subject to such limitations and
exclusions as Lessor may reasonably agree;
(4) provide that, in relation to the interests of each of the additional
assureds the Insurances will not be invalidated by any act or omission
(including misrepresentation and non-disclosure) of any other person
or party which results in a breach of any term, condition or warranty
of the policy, provided that the additional insured party so protected
has not caused, contributed to or knowingly condoned the said act or
omission;
(5) provide that upon payment of any loss or claim to or on behalf of any
additional assureds, insurers shall to the extent and in respect of
such payment be thereupon subrogated to all legal and equitable rights
of that additional assured indemnified hereby (but not against any
additional assureds). Insurers shall not exercise such rights without
the consent of those indemnified, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld. At the expense of insurers such additional assureds shall do
all things reasonably necessary to assist the insurers to exercise
said rights;
Page 2
(6) provide that the additional assureds will have no obligation or
responsibility for the payment of any premiums due and that the
insurers will not exercise any right of set-off or counter-claim in
respect of any premium due against the respective interests of the
additional assureds other than outstanding premiums relating to the
Aircraft, any Engine or Part which is the subject of the relevant
claim;
(7) provide that, except in respect of any provision for cancellation or
automatic termination specified in the Policy or any endorsement
thereof, cover provided by the Insurances may only be cancelled or
materially altered in a manner adverse to the additional assureds by
the giving of not less than 30 days (7 days or such less period as may
be customarily available in respect of war risks and allied perils)
notice in writing to the appointed broker, who shall undertake to
notify Lessor promptly. Notice shall be deemed to commence from the
date such notice is given by the insurers. Such notice will not,
however, be given the normal expiry date of the Policy or any
endorsement; and
(8) reinsurance will (a) be on the same terms as the original insurances
and will include the provisions of this Schedule, (b) provide that
notwithstanding any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution
or similar proceedings of or affecting the reinsured that the
reinsurers' liability will be to make such payments as would have
fallen due under the relevant policy of reinsurance if the reinsured
had (immediately before such bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
dissolution or similar proceedings) discharged its obligations in full
under the original insurance policies in respect of which the then
relevant policy of reinsurance has been effected; and (c) contain a
"cut-through" clause in the following form (or otherwise, satisfactory
to Lessor): "The Reinsurers and the Reinsured hereby mutually agree
that in the event of any claim arising under the reinsurances in
respect of a total loss or other claim where as provided by the
Aircraft Lease Agreement (MSN 29048) dated as of October 1, 1998 and
made between Lessor and Lessee such claim is to be paid to the person
named as sole loss payee under the primary insurances, the Reinsurers
will in lieu of payment to the Reinsured, its successors in interest
and assigns pay to the person named as sole loss payee under the
primary insurances effected by the Reinsured, that portion of any loss
due for which the Reinsurers would otherwise be liable to pay the
original Reinsured (subject to proof of loss), it being understood and
agreed that any such payment by the Reinsurers will (to the extent of
such payment) fully discharge and release the Reinsurers from any and
all further liability in connection therewith" subject to such
provisions not contravening any law of the Jurisdiction of
Incorporation.
