to deduct or withhold), the Lessee will pay all necessary
additional amounts to ensure receipt by the Lessor of the full
amount (other than Lessor Taxes that Lessee is compelled by law to

5.6 TAXATION
(a) The Lessee will on demand pay and indemnify the Lessor and the
Lender against all Taxes (other than Lessor Taxes) levied or
imposed against or upon the Lessor, the Lender or the Lessee and

exportation, registration, ownership, leasing, sub-leasing,
purchase, delivery, possession, use, operation, repair,
maintenance, overhaul, transportation, landing, storage, presence
or redelivery of the Aircraft or any part thereof or any rent,
receipts, insurance proceeds, income or other amounts arising
therefrom.
-24-
(b) If the Lessor or the Lender shall, based upon its own reasonable
interpretation of any relevant laws or regulations, realize any Tax
savings (by way of refund, deduction, credit or otherwise) in
respect of any amount with respect to which the Lessee shall have
made a payment (or increased payment) pursuant to Clause 5.5 or 5.8
or shall have indemnified the Lessor or the Lender pursuant to
sub-clause (a) above, or in respect of the occurrence or
transaction which gave rise to such payment or indemnification, and
such Tax savings shall not have been taken into account previously
in calculating any indemnity payment made by the Lessee, then the
Lessor or the Lender (as the case may be) shall, to the extent that
it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the relevant
savings and subject to the Lessee's obligations to repay such
amount to the Lessor or the Lender (as applicable) if the relevant
savings are subsequently disallowed or canceled, pay to the Lessee
such amount as the Lessor or the Lender (as the case may be) shall
in its opinion have concluded to be the amount of such Tax savings
(together with, in the case of a refund, any interest received
thereon); provided however that neither the Lessor nor the Lender
shall be obliged to make any payment to the Lessee pursuant to this
sub-clause (b) to the extent that the amount of any Tax savings in
respect of which such payment is to be made would exceed the
aggregate amount of all prior payments made by the Lessee to, on
behalf of or as indemnification of the Lessor or the Lender under
this Agreement for Taxes less the amount of all prior payments made
pursuant to this sub-clause (b) in respect of such Tax savings. The
Lessee acknowledges that nothing contained in this sub-clause (b)
shall interfere with the right of the Lessor or the Lender to
arrange its tax affairs in whatsoever proper manner it thinks fit
(or give the Lessee any right to investigate, or impose any
obligation on the Lessor or the Lender to disclose, the same) and,
in particular, neither the Lessor nor the Lender shall be under any
obligation to claim any Tax savings in priority to any other
savings available to it; provided, that subject to the foregoing
Lessor shall use reasonable good faith diligence to realize Tax
savings as described above.
5.7 INFORMATION

the Lessee is exclusively responsible for the use and operation of the
Aircraft and for the Taxes (other than Lessor Taxes) arising therefrom,
and the Lessee will, on request, supply a copy of the report or return
to the Lessor. If Lessee requires any information or cooperation from
Lessor or Lender in order to satisfy its obligations as set forth above,
Lessor and Lender shall promptly furnish such information or cooperation
as Lessee may reasonably request upon written request by Lessee. If
actual notice is given by any taxing authority to Lessor that a report
or return is required to be filed with respect to any Taxes (other than
Lessor Taxes), the Lessor shall promptly notify Lessee of such required
report or return.
5.8 TAXATION OF INDEMNITY PAYMENTS
-25-
(a) If and to the extent that any sums payable to the Lessor or the
Lender by the Lessee under this Agreement by way of indemnity
are insufficient, by reason of any Taxes payable in respect of
those sums, for the Lessor or the Lender to discharge the
corresponding liability to the relevant third party (including
any taxation authority), or to reimburse the Lessor or the
Lender for the cost incurred by it to a third party (including any
taxation authority) the Lessee will pay to the Lessor or the
Lender (as the case may be) such sum as will, after the tax
liability has been fully satisfied, leave the Lessor or the
Lender (as the case may be) 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 Default Rate in respect of the period commencing on the date
on which the payment of taxation is finally due until payment by
the Lessee (both before and after judgment).
(b) If and to the extent that any sums constituting (directly or
indirectly) an indemnity to the Lessor or the Lender but paid by
the Lessee to any person other than the Lessor or the Lender are
treated as taxable in the hands of the Lessor or the Lender, the
Lessee will pay to the Lessor or the Lender such sum as will,
after the tax liability has been fully satisfied, indemnify the
Lessor or the Lender to the same extent as it would have been
indemnified in the absence of such liability, together with
interest on the amount payable by lessee under this sub-clause at
the Default Rate in respect of the period commencing on the date
on which the payment of taxation is finally due until
payment by the Lessee (both before and after judgment).
5.9 DEFAULT INTEREST
If the Lessee fails to pay any amount payable under this Agreement on
the due date, the Lessee will pay on demand from time to time to the
Lessor or the Lender (as the case may be) interest (both before and
after judgment) on the amount, from the due date to the day of payment
in full by the Lessee to the Lessor or the Lender, at the prime rate for
the time being charged by Citibank, N.A. plus 3.0% (the "DEFAULT RATE").
All such interest will be compounded monthly and calculated on the basis
of the actual number of days elapsed and on a 360 day year.
5.10 CONTEST
If written claim is made against Lessor or Lender for or with respect to
any Taxes (other than Lessor Taxes), Lessor shall, and shall cause
Lender to, promptly notify the Lessee. If reasonably requested by the
Lessee in writing within 30 days after such notification, Lessor shall
or shall cause Lender to, upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to
Lessor or Lender, as the case may be, and at the expense of the Lessee
(including all costs, expenses, losses, legal and accountants' fees and
disbursements, penalties and interest), in good faith contest or to the
extent permissible by law allow Lessee to contest in Lessee's, the
Lessor's or the Lender's
-26-
name, the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes by either (i)
resisting payment thereof if practicable and permitted by applicable
law, or (ii) if payment is made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a
refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings,
and in the contest of any such claim by Lessor or Lender, Lessor shall,
and shall cause Lender to, apprise the Lessee of all material
developments with respect to such contest, shall forward copies of all
material submissions made in such contest and shall materially comply in
good faith with any reasonable request concerning the conduct of any
such contest; provided, however, the Lessor or the Lender (as the case
may be) will not be obliged to take any such action:
(a) which the Lessor or the Lender (as the case may be) considers, in
its reasonable discretion, may prejudice it; or
(b) which the Lessor or the Lender (as the case may be) reasonably
considers does not have a reasonable prospect of success; or
(c) for which the Lessee has not made adequate provision to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Lessor or the Lender (as the case
may be) in respect of the expense concerned; or
(d) if such action gives 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 the Lessor or the
Lender.
If Lessor or Lender, in accordance with the foregoing, determines to pay
such Taxes and seek a refund, Lessee will either pay such Taxes on
Lessor's or Lender's behalf and pay Lessor or Lender, as the case may
be, any amount due with respect to such payment or will promptly
reimburse Lessor for such Taxes. If Lessor shall obtain a refund of all
or any part of such Taxes paid by the Lessee, Lessor shall pay the
Lessee the amount of such refund; provided that such amount shall not be
payable before such time as the Lessee shall have made all payments or
indemnities to Lessor then due with respect to Taxes and so long as no
Default has occurred and is continuing. If in addition to such refund
Lessor shall receive an amount representing interest, attorneys fees or
any other amount on the amount of such refund, the Lessee shall be paid
that proportion of such interest, attorneys fees or any other amount
which is fairly attributable to the Taxes paid by the Lessee prior to
the receipt of such refund. Lessor and/or Lender shall not enter into a
settlement or other compromise with respect to, or otherwise concede,
any claim by a taxing authority on account of Taxes being contested by
Lessee pursuant to this Clause 5.10 without the written consent of
Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless Lessor
waives its right and the right of Lender to be indemnified by Lessee
with respect to such claim (but not with respect to any future claims).
5.11 ABSOLUTE
-27-
The Lessee's obligations under this Agreement are absolute and
unconditional irrespective of any contingency whatever including (but
not limited to):
(a) any right of offset, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right which either party to this Agreement may have against the
other;
(b) any unavailability of the Aircraft for any reason, including a
requisition of the Aircraft or any prohibition or interruption of,
interference with or other restriction against the Lessee's use,
operation or possession of the Aircraft;
(c) any lack or invalidity of title or any other defect in title,
airworthiness, merchantability, fitness for any purpose, condition,

particular use or trade, or for registration or documentation under
the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, or any Total Loss in respect
of or any damage to the Aircraft;

readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar
proceedings by or against the Lessor or the Lessee;
(e) any invalidity, unenforceability or lack of due authorization of,
or other defect in, this Agreement; or
(f) 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 the Lessee under this Agreement;
provided always, however, that this Clause 5.11 shall be without
prejudice to the Lessee's right to claim damages and other relief from
the courts in the event of any breach by the Lessor of its obligations
under this Agreement, or in the event that, as a result of any lack or
invalidity of title to the Aircraft on the part of the Lessor, the
Lessee is deprived of its possession of the Aircraft.
6. MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTIES
6.1 ASSIGNMENT
Notwithstanding this Agreement and subject to the rights of the Lender
pursuant to the Assignment, the Lessor will remain entitled to the
benefit of each warranty, express or implied, and any unexpired customer
and/or product support given or provided in respect of the Aircraft, any
Engine or Part by any manufacturer, vendor, maintenance performer,
subcontractor or supplier. Unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Lessor hereby authorizes the Lessee to
pursue any claim thereunder in relation to defects affecting the
Aircraft, any Engine or Part and the Lessee agrees diligently to pursue
any such
-28-
claim which arises at its own cost. The Lessee will notify the Lessor
promptly upon becoming aware of any such claim. The Lessor will provide
such assistance to the Lessee in making a claim under any such
warranties or customer and/or product support as the Lessee may
reasonably request, and, if requested by the Lessee and at the Lessee's
expense, will pursue a claim in its own name where the relevant
manufacturer, vendor, maintenance performer, subcontractor or supplier
has refused to acknowledge the Lessee's right to pursue that claim.
6.2 PROCEEDS
Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all
proceeds of any such claim as is referred to in Clause 6.1 and which
exceed $100,000 will be paid direct to the Lender, but if and to the
extent that such claim relates:
(a) to defects affecting the Aircraft which the Lessee has rectified; or
(b) to compensation for loss of use of the Aircraft, an Engine or any
Part during the Term; or
(c) to costs incurred by the Lessee in pursuing such claim (whether or
not proceeds of such claim are payable to the Lessee);
and provided no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
proceeds will be promptly paid to the Lessee by the Lender but, in the
case of (a), only on receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Lessor and the Lender that the Lessee has rectified the relevant defect.
6.3 PARTS
Except to the extent the Lessor otherwise agrees in a particular case,
the Lessee will procure that all engines, components, furnishings or
equipment provided by the manufacturer, vendor, maintenance performer,
subcontractor or supplier as a replacement for a defective Engine or
Part pursuant to the terms of any warranty or customer and/or product
support arrangement comply with Clause 8.13(a), are installed on the
Aircraft promptly and that title thereto vests in the Lessor in
accordance with Clause 8.17(a). On installation those items will be
deemed to be an Engine or Part, as applicable.
6.4 AGREEMENT
To the extent any warranties or customer and/or product support relating
to the Aircraft are made available under an agreement between any
manufacturer, vendor, maintenance performer, subcontractor or supplier
and the Lessee, this Clause 6 is subject to that agreement. However the
Lessee will:
-29-
(a) pay the proceeds of any claim thereunder that exceed $100,000 to
the Lender to be applied pursuant to Clause 6.2 and, pending such
payment, will hold the claim and the proceeds on trust for the
Lender; and
(b) take all such steps as are necessary and requested by the Lessor at
the end of the Term to ensure the benefit of any of those
warranties or customer and/or product support which have not
expired are vested in the Lessor (but subject to the rights of the
Lender under the Mortgage).
7. LESSOR'S COVENANTS AND DISCLAIMERS
7.1 QUIET ENJOYMENT
Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, none
of the Lessor, its successors and assigns, the Lender or any Person
claiming by, through or on account of any of such parties will interfere
with the quiet use, possession and enjoyment of the Aircraft by the
Lessee.
7.2 MAINTENANCE CONTRIBUTION
(a) Provided no Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the
performance by Lessee of "Qualifying Work" (as hereinafter defined)
relating to any airworthiness directive, the Lessor will pay to the
Lessee, by way of contribution to the cost of maintenance of the
Aircraft, an amount equal to the product of (a) the amount by which
the Actual Cost of the Qualifying Work for such airworthiness
directive exceeds $225,000, multiplied by (b) a fraction the
numerator of which is 60 minus the number of months (rounded to the
nearest whole number of months) from the date of the completion of
such Qualifying Work until the scheduled Expiry Date and the
denominator is 60.
(b) "Qualifying Work" means maintenance work performed on the Aircraft
solely in order to comply fully with airworthiness directives
issued by the Aviation Authority (whether or not such airworthiness
directives were issued before or after the Delivery Date) on a
terminating action basis, and excluding work performed for any
other purpose, such as compliance with airworthiness directives by
means of repetitive inspections, recording compliance work in the
Aircraft Documents and all other maintenance work.
(c) The Lessor will be obligated to pay any amount specified in Clause
7.2(a) within 14 days after submission by the Lessee to the Lessor
of an invoice and supporting documentation reasonably satisfactory
to the Lessor evidencing the performance of Qualifying Work for an
airworthiness directive.

the Aircraft.
7.4 AGREED MAINTENANCE PERFORMERS
The Lessor may object to and may exclude any maintenance organization
(other than Lessee) being included as an "Agreed Maintenance Performer"
for a valid business reason. The Lessor shall furnish to Lessee in
writing from time to time a list of all maintenance organizations
excluded from the definition of "Agreed Maintenance Performer" pursuant
to the preceding sentence, which list may be amended by Lessor from time
to time. The Lessor and the Lessee shall consult in good faith regarding
any organizations on such list from time to time at the request of
either party.

installation on the Aircraft will, without further act, be
subject to this Agreement and to the security interest
created by the Mortgage, in which case title to the removed
part shall automatically become vested in Lessee without
further action or warranty on the part of Lessor except that
such Part shall be free of Lessor Liens; and
(iv) in each case, the Lessee has full details as to its source
and maintenance records.
-42-
(b) If no Default has occurred which is continuing, the Lessee will be
entitled to install any engine or part on the Aircraft by way of
replacement notwithstanding Clause 8.13(a) if:
(i) there is not available to the Lessee at the time and in the
place that engine or part is required to be installed on the
Aircraft a replacement engine or part complying with the
requirements of Clause 8.13(a);
(ii) it would result in an unreasonable disruption of the
operation of the Aircraft or the business of the Lessee to
ground the Aircraft until an engine or part complying with
Clause 8.13(a) becomes available for installation on the
Aircraft; and
(iii) as soon as practicable after installation of the same on the
Aircraft but, in any event, no later than the earlier of (1)
60 days after such installation and (2) the Expiry Date, the
Lessee removes any such engine or part and replaces it with
the Engine or Part replaced by it or by an engine or part
complying with Clause 8.13(a).
(c) If no Default has occurred which is continuing, the Lessee will be
entitled to install Lessee Installed Parts on the Airframe by way of
replacement notwithstanding Clause 8.13(a)(iii) so long as:
(i) the terms of any lease, conditional sale agreement or
security agreement, as the case may be, covering such Lessee
Installed Part will not have the effect of prejudicing the
title and interest of the Lessor in and to the Aircraft
(including its Engines and Parts) or the interest of the
Lender in respect thereof under the Mortgage;
(ii) the secured party, lessor or conditional vendor, as the case
may be, of such Lessee Installed Part has confirmed and
acknowledged in writing (which such confirmation and
acknowledgment may be contained in the lease, conditional
sale agreement or security agreement) to the Lessor and the
Lender, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessor,
that it will recognize the respective rights, title and
interest of the Lessor and the Lender in and to the Aircraft
(including its Engines and Parts) and that it will not seek
to exercise any rights whatever in relation thereto; and
(iii) before the Expiry Date the Lessee removes any such Lessee
Installed Part and replaces it with the Part replaced by it
or by another part, in either case complying with Clause
8.13(a).
(d) The Lessor agrees, for the benefit of the Lessee and any mortgagee or
holder of any other Security Interest in any engine (other than an
Engine) or Lessee Installed Part
-43-
owned by the Lessee, any lessor of any engine (other than an Engine
leased to the Lessee) or Lessee Installed Part and any conditional
vendor of any engine (other than an Engine purchased by the Lessee
subject to a conditional sale agreement or any other security
agreement) or Lessee Installed Part, that no right, title to or
interest in any such engine or Lessee Installed Part shall be
exercised or asserted by the Lessor and the Lessor acknowledges and
confirms that it will not acquire any right, title or interest to
or in any such engine or Lessee Installed Part as a result of its
installation on the Airframe.
8.14 NON-INSTALLED ENGINES AND PARTS
(a) The Lessee shall ensure that any Engine or Part which is not
installed on the Airframe (or any other airframe as permitted by
this Agreement) is, except as expressly permitted by this
Agreement, properly and safely stored and kept free from Security
Interests, with insurance thereon complying with the requirements
of this Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding sub-clause (a), the Lessee shall be permitted, if
no Default has occurred and is continuing, to install any Engine on
an airframe and any Part on an airframe or engine:
(i) owned and operated by the Lessee free from Security Interests;
(ii) leased or hired to the Lessee pursuant to a lease or
conditional sale agreement on a long-term basis and on terms
whereby the Lessee has full operational control of that
aircraft or engine; or
(iii) acquired or financed by the Lessee and operated by the Lessee
on terms that ownership of that aircraft or engine, as the
case may be, pursuant to a lease, conditional sale agreement
or Security Interest is vested in or held by any other person;
provided that in the case of (ii) and (iii):
(1) the terms of any such lease, conditional sale agreement or
Security Interest will not have the effect of prejudicing the
title and interest of the Lessor in and to that Engine or
Part or the interest of the Lender in respect thereof under
the Mortgage; and
(2) the lessor under such lease, the seller under such
conditional sale agreement or the secured party of such
Security Interest, as the case may be, has confirmed and
acknowledged in writing (which such confirmation and
acknowledgment may be contained in the lease, conditional
sale agreement or document creating the Security Interest) to
the Lessor and the Lender, in form and substance satisfactory
-44-
to the Lessor, that it will recognize the respective rights,
title and interest of the Lessor and the Lender to and in
that Engine or Part and that it will not seek to exercise any
rights whatever in relation thereto.
8.15 POOLING OF ENGINES AND PARTS
The Lessee will not enter into nor permit any pooling agreement or
arrangement in respect of an Engine or Part without the prior written
consent of the Lessor and the Lender, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld in any case where an Engine or Part is leased, let
on hire or otherwise made available by the Lessee (on terms conferring
no more than a contractual right IN PERSONAM against the Lessee and not
a right IN REM against such Engine or Part) pursuant to a pooling
agreement to which the Lessee is a party and:
(a) the other parties to which are reputable, solvent commercial air
carriers or the manufacturers or suppliers of the Engine or Part
(or other reputable, solvent organizations whose business includes
the administration of and participation in such pooling agreements
or arrangements); and
(b) which does not contemplate the transfer of title to the pooled
Engine or Part; and
(c) either provides that the Lessor (or the Lender, as the case may be)
will be sole loss payee in respect of any loss or damage to the
Engine or Part, or provides for Lessor to acquire title to a
substitute engine or part satisfying the conditions set out in
Clause 8.13(a) if the Engine or Part is destroyed.
8.16 EQUIPMENT CHANGES
(a) The Lessee will not make any modification or addition to the
Aircraft (each an "EQUIPMENT CHANGE"), except for an Equipment
Change that:
(i) is expressly permitted by any other provision of this
Agreement, or
(ii) has the prior written approval of the Lessor and the Lender
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld provided
the proposed Equipment Change will not, in the reasonable
opinion of the Lessor and the Lender, diminish the value,
utility, condition or airworthiness of the Aircraft), except
for painting or minor cabin interior modifications not
affecting the structure of the Airframe, any or all of which
may be made without such prior approval.
(b) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Lessee may remove any Equipment Change if it can be removed from
the Aircraft without diminishing or impairing the value, utility,
condition or airworthiness of the Aircraft.
-45-
8.17 TITLE TO ENGINES AND PARTS
(a) Title to all engines and parts installed on the Aircraft, whether
by way of replacement as the result of an Equipment Change or
otherwise (except those installed pursuant to Clause 8.13(b) or
Clause 8.15) will on installation, without further act, vest in
the Lessor subject to this Agreement free and clear of all
Security Interests. The Lessee will at its own expense take all
such steps and execute, and procure the execution of, all such
instruments that are necessary to ensure that title so passes to
the Lessor and is subject to the Security Interest created by the
Mortgage according to all applicable laws. At any time when
requested by the Lessor, the Lessee will provide evidence
to the Lessor's reasonable satisfaction (including the
provision, if required, to the Lessor of one of more legal
opinions) that title has so passed to the Lessor and is subject to
the Security Interest created by the Mortgage.
(b) The Lessor may require the Lessee to remove any Equipment Change
and to restore the Aircraft to its condition prior to that
Equipment Change.
(c) Except as referred to in Clause 8.16(b), any Engine or Part at any
time removed from the Aircraft will remain the property of the
Lessor until a replacement has been made in accordance with this
Agreement and until title to that replacement has passed, according
to applicable laws, to the Lessor subject to this Agreement free of
all Security Interests, whereupon title to the Engine or Part will,
provided no Default has occurred and is continuing, pass to the
Lessee free of Lessor Liens.
8.18 THIRD PARTIES
The Lessee shall procure that no person having possession of the
Aircraft during the Term (other than the Lessor or the Lender) will act
in any manner inconsistent with the Lessee's obligations under this
Agreement and that all such persons shall comply with those obligations
as if references to "Lessee" included a separate reference to those
persons.
9. INSURANCE
9.1 INSURANCES
The Lessee will maintain in full force and effect during the Term
insurances in respect of the Aircraft in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Lessor (the "INSURANCES") through such brokers and
with such insurers and having such deductibles and being subject to such
exclusions as are usual and customary in the worldwide aviation
insurance marketplace for air carriers operating similar equipment who
are similarly situated with Lessee. The Insurances will be effected
either 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 underwriters approved by the
Lessor and the Lender,
-46-
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The Lessor acknowledges
and confirms that the current deductibles and exclusions, together with
the existing brokers and insurers, in respect of the insurances
maintained by Lessee on the date of the Purchase Agreement are
acceptable to it and the Lender.
9.2 REQUIREMENTS
The Lessor's current requirements as to required Insurances are as
specified in this Clause and in Part I of Schedule 4. Except for the
amount of the Agreed Value, the Minimum Liability Coverage and the
deductible under Lessee's hull and war risk insurance policies, the
Lessor may from time to time stipulate such other requirements for the
Insurances as the Lessor reasonably considers necessary to ensure that
the scope and level of cover is maintained in accordance with the then
prevailing industry practice in relation to aircraft of the same type as
the Aircraft and in relation to operators of similar standing to the
Lessee. In the event that the Lessor proposes any such stipulation, it
shall notify the Lessee accordingly and the Lessor and/or its brokers
will then consult in good faith with the Lessee and the Lessee's brokers
(as for the time being approved by the Lessor) with regard to such
proposed stipulation. If, following the consultation, the Lessor is
satisfied that the stipulation should be made, the Lessee shall then
comply with the stipulated requirements.
9.3 INSURANCE COVENANTS
The Lessee shall:
(a) ensure that all legal requirements as to insurance of the Aircraft,
any Engine or any Part that may from time to time be imposed by the
laws of the State of Registration or any jurisdiction to, from or
over which the Aircraft may be flown, in so far 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:
(i) the Aircraft does not become subject to detention or forfeiture;
(ii) the Insurances remain valid and in full force and effect; and
(iii) the interests of the Indemnitees in the Insurances and the
Aircraft or any Part are not thereby prejudiced;
(b) 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;
(c) comply with the terms and conditions of each policy of the
Insurances and not do, consent or agree to any act or omission that:
-47-
(i) invalidates or may reasonably be expected to invalidate the
Insurances;
(ii) renders or may reasonably be expected to render void or voidable
the whole or any part of any of the Insurances; or
(iii) brings any particular liability within the scope of an exclusion
or exception to the Insurances;
(d) not take out without the prior written approval of the Lessor any
insurance in respect of the Aircraft other than those of the type
required under this Agreement unless relating solely to hull total
loss, business interruption, engine break-down, profit commission
and deductible risk;
(e) commence renewal procedures at least 30 days prior to the
expiration of any of the Insurances and provide to the Lessor and
the Lender:
(i) if requested by the Lessor, a written status report of renewal
negotiations 14 days prior to each expiration date;
(ii) telefaxed confirmation of completion of renewal prior to each
expiration date; and
(iii) a certificate of insurance and broker's letter of undertaking
substantially in the form set out in Parts 2 and 3 of
Schedule 4, detailing the coverage and confirming the insurers'
agreement to the specified insurance requirements of this
Agreement within seven days after each renewal date;
(f) provide to the Lessor and the Lender copies of those documents
evidencing the Insurances which the Lessor and the Lender may
reasonably request;
(g) on request, provide to the Lessor and the Lender evidence that the
Insurance premiums have been paid;
(h) not make any modification or alteration to the Insurances material
and adverse to the interests of any of the Indemnitees;
(i) be responsible for any deductible under the Insurances; and
(j) provide any other insurance related information, or assistance, in
respect of the Insurances as the Lessor may reasonably request.
9.4 FAILURE TO INSURE
-48-
If the Lessee fails to maintain the Insurances in compliance with this
Agreement, each of the Indemnitees will be entitled but not obligated
(without prejudice to any other rights of the Lessor under this Agreement):
(a) to pay the premiums due or to effect and maintain insurances
satisfactory to it or otherwise remedy the Lessee's failure in such
manner (including 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 the Lessee to the Lessor
on demand (such demand being made as soon as reasonably practicable
following the incurring of such expenditure), together with
interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of expenditure
by it up to the date of reimbursement by the Lessee (before and
after any judgment); and
(b) 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
reasonable satisfaction.
9.5 CONTINUING INDEMNITY
The Lessor may require the 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 the Lessor may reasonably
require (but in any event not more than three years) providing for each
Indemnitee to be named as additional insured. The Lessee's obligation
under this Clause 9.5 shall not be affected by the Lessee ceasing to be
lessee of the Aircraft or any of the Indemnitees ceasing to have any
interest in respect of the Aircraft.
9.6 APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS
As between the Lessor and the Lessee:
(a) All insurance payments, up to the Agreed Value, received as the
result of a Total Loss occurring during the Term will be paid to
the Lender.
(b) All insurance proceeds in respect of any damage or loss to the
Aircraft, any Engine or any Part occurring during the Term not
constituting a Total Loss and involving insurance proceeds in
excess of the Damage Notification Threshold will be paid to the
Lender and applied in payment (or to reimburse the Lessee) for
repairs or replacement property upon the Lessor being reasonably
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 the Lessee. Any balance remaining may be retained by
the Lessee.
-49-
(c) All insurance proceeds in respect of third party liability will be
paid to the relevant third party.
(d) Notwithstanding Clauses 9.6(a) and (b), 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 the
Lender to be applied toward payment of any amounts that may be or
become payable by the Lessee in such order as the Lessor and the
Lender see fit or as the Lessor and the Lender may elect. In the
event that the Lessee remedies any such Default to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Lessor, the Lessor shall procure that all such
insurance proceeds then held by the Lender in excess of the amounts
(if any) applied by the Lessor in accordance with this sub-clause
(d) shall be paid promptly to the Lessee.
10. INDEMNITY
10.1 GENERAL
The Lessee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees
from and against any and all claims, proceedings, losses, liabilities,
suits, judgments, costs, expenses, penalties or fines (each a "CLAIM")
regardless of when the same is made or incurred, whether during or after
the Term (but not before):
(a) that may at any time be suffered or incurred directly or indirectly
as a result of or connected with possession, delivery, performance,
management, registration, control, maintenance, condition, service,
repair, overhaul, leasing, sub-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 attributable to any defect
in the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or to its design, testing,
use or otherwise, and regardless of when the same arises or whether
it arises out of or is attributable to any act or omission,
negligent or otherwise, of any Indemnitee;
(b) that arise out of any act or omission that invalidates or that
renders voidable any of the Insurances;
(c) that may at any time be suffered or incurred as a consequence of
any design, 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:
(1) it arises directly as a result of the wilful misconduct or gross
negligence of an Indemnitee;
-50-
(2) it arises directly as a result of a breach by the Lessor of
its express obligations under this Agreement or as a result of
a representation or warranty given by the Lessor in this
Agreement not being true and correct at the date when, or when
deemed to have been, given or made;
(3) it constitutes a Lessor Tax or Lessor Lien;
4) it represents a Tax or loss of tax benefits (the Lessee's
liabilities for which, to the extent thereof, are set out in
Clauses 5.5, 5.6 and 5.8);
(5) it constitutes a cost or expense that is required to be borne
by the Lessor in accordance with any other provision of this
Agreement;
(6) it results from any disposition not caused by Lessee of all or
any part of Lessor's rights, title or interest in or to the
Aircraft or under this Agreement, unless such disposition
occurs as a consequence of an Event of Default;
(7) it is attributable to an event occurring after the Term unless
the Claim results from or arises out of an act or omission by
the Lessee, or any circumstance existing, during the Term; or
(8) it is brought after the Term and relates to a claimed patent
infringement by the Manufacturer.
10.2 MITIGATION
(a) The Lessor agrees that it shall, as soon as reasonably
practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstances that
would, or would reasonably be expected to, become the
subject of a claim for indemnification pursuant to Clause
10.1, notify the Lessee in writing accordingly. The Lessor (and
any other Indemnitee seeking indemnification, as the case may
be) and the Lessee shall then consult with one another in good
faith in order to determine what action (if any) may
reasonably be taken to avoid or mitigate such Claim. The Lessee
shall have the right to take all reasonable action (on behalf
and, if necessary, in the name of the Lessor or such other
Indemnitee) in order to resist, defend or settle (provided
such settlement is accompanied by payment) any claims by third
parties giving rise to such Claim, provided always that the Lessee
shall not be entitled to take any such action unless adequate
provision, reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor and such other
Indemnitee, shall have been made in respect of the third party
claim and the costs thereof. The Lessee or, if the Claim is covered
by Lessee's Insurances, the Lessee's insurers shall be
entitled to select any counsel to represent it or them, the
Lessor and such other Indemnitee in connection with any such
action, subject in the case of Lessee to the approval of the
Lessor and such other Indemnitee
-51-
(such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and any action
taken by the Lessee shall be on a full indemnity basis in respect
of the Lessor and such other Indemnitee.
(b) Any sums paid by the Lessee to the Lessor or any Indemnitee in
respect of any Claim pursuant to Clause 10.1 shall be paid subject
to the condition that, in the event that the Lessor or such
Indemnitee is subsequently reimbursed in respect of that Claim by
any other person, the Lessor or such Indemnitee shall, provided no
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, promptly pay to the
Lessee an amount equal to the sum paid to it by the Lessee,
including any interest on such amount to the extent attributable
thereto and received by the Lessor or such Indemnitee, less any Tax
payable by the Lessor or such Indemnitee in respect of such
reimbursement.
10.3 DURATION
The indemnities contained in this Agreement will survive and continue in
full force after the Expiry Date.
11. EVENTS OF LOSS
11.1 TOTAL LOSS
(a) PRE-DELIVERY: If a Total Loss occurs prior to Delivery, 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 except that the Lessor
will rebate to the Lessee the Security Deposit (if theretofore paid
pursuant to Clause 5.1) or, as the case may be, return the Letter
of Credit to the Lessee.
(b) POST-DELIVERY: If a Total Loss occurs after Delivery, the Lessee
will pay the Agreed Value to the Lender no later than 60 days after
the Total Loss Date (the "SETTLEMENT DATE") unless the Aircraft
is restored to the Lessor or the Lessee within that period (or, in
the case of a Total Loss coming within paragraph (c) of the
definition of Total Loss and involving the loss of the Lessor's
title to the Aircraft, if both the Aircraft and the Lessor's
title thereto are restored to the Lessor or, in the case of the
Aircraft, to the Lessee and the Lender's rights under the
Mortgage are fully restored). The receipt by the Lender of the
insurance proceeds in respect of the Total Loss on or prior to the
Settlement Date shall discharge the Lessee from its obligation
to pay the Agreed Value to the Lessor pursuant to this
sub-clause (b), provided such proceeds are not less than the
Agreed Value. In the event that the insurance proceeds are paid
initially to the Lessee and not to the Lender, they may be
retained by the Lessee if the Lessee shall have paid the Agreed
Value to the Lender, otherwise the Lessee shall pay the Agreed
Value to the Lender not later than the next Business Day following
receipt by the Lessee of such proceeds. In the event that the
Lessee pays the Agreed Value to the Lessor in accordance with this
sub-clause (b), the Lessor shall promptly assign to the
-52-
Lessee its rights under the Insurances to receive the insurance
proceeds in respect of the Total Loss to the extent that such
proceeds shall not have been paid to the Lessee. Subject to the
rights of any insurers or other third parties, upon irrevocable
payment in full to the Lessor of that amount and all other amounts
that may be or become payable to the Lessor under this Agreement,
the Lessor shall:
(i) without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of
Lessor Liens), and without further act, be deemed to have
transferred to the Lessee all of the Lessor's rights to any
Engines or Parts not installed when the Total Loss occurred,
all on an "as-is where is" basis, and shall, at the Lessee's
expense, execute and deliver such bills of sale and other
documents and instruments as the Lessee may reasonably
request to evidence (on the public record or otherwise) the
transfer and the vesting of the Lessor's rights in such
Engines and Parts in the Lessee, free and clear of all rights
of the Lessor and any Lessor Liens; and
(ii) pay to Lessee, as a rebate of prepaid Basic Rent, and amount
equal to the product of (1) one month's Basic Rent multiplied
by (2) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of
days remaining in the then current Rental Period and the
denominator of which is the number of days in the then
current Rental Period.
(c) ENGINE LOSS: Upon the occurrence of an Engine Loss (including,
for the avoidance of doubt, at a time when the Engine is not
installed on the Airframe) in circumstances in which there has
not also occurred a Total Loss, the Lessee shall give the Lessor
and the Lender written notice promptly upon becoming aware of
the same and shall (unless the Lessor has received the insurance
proceeds relating to such Engine Loss), within 60 days after the
Engine Loss Date, convey or cause to be conveyed to the Lessor,
as replacement for such Engine, title to a replacement engine
that is in the same or better operating condition, has the same
or greater value and utility as the lost Engine and that
complies with the conditions set out in Clause 8.13(a). The
Lessee shall, at the time of such conveyance, comply in all
respects with Clause 8.17(a) so that the replacement engine
becomes an Engine, whereupon the leasing of the replaced Engine
the subject of the Engine Loss shall cease and title to such
replaced Engine shall (subject to any salvage rights of
insurers) vest in the Lessee pursuant to Clause 8.17(c), free of
Lessor Liens. If the Lessor or the Lender subsequently receives
any insurance proceeds relating to such Engine Loss, the Lessor
shall promptly remit such proceeds or cause such proceeds to be
remitted to the Lessee. No Engine Loss with respect to any
Engine that is replaced in accordance with the provisions of
this Clause 11.1 (c) shall result in any increase or decrease in
Basic Rent or the Agreed Value.
11.2 REQUISITION
During any requisition for use or hire of the Aircraft, any Engine or
Part that does not constitute a Total Loss:
-53-
(a) the Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent payable under this Agreement
will not be suspended or abated either in whole or in part, and the
Lessee will not be released from any of its other obligations under
this Agreement (other than operational obligations with which the
Lessee is unable to comply solely by virtue of the requisition); and
(b) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Lessee will be entitled to any compensation payable by the
requisitioning authority in respect of the Term. The Lessee
will, as soon as practicable after the end of any such
requisition (with the Term being extended if and to the extent
that the period of requisition continues beyond the scheduled
Expiry Date), cause the Aircraft to be put into the condition
required by this Agreement. The 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 the
Lessor will apply such compensation in reimbursing the 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, the Lessor may apply the compensation
in or towards settlement of any amounts owing by the Lessee under
this Agreement. All such sums shall be held by the Lender.
12. RETURN OF AIRCRAFT
12.1 REDELIVERY
On the Expiry Date or termination of the leasing of the Aircraft under
this Agreement, the Lessee shall, unless a Total Loss has occurred, at
its expense, redeliver the Aircraft and Aircraft Documents to the Lessor
at the Redelivery Location or such other airport as is mutually
acceptable to Lessor and Lessee in a condition complying with this
Clause 12 and Schedule 3, free and clear of all Security Interests and
Permitted Liens (other than the Lessor Liens).
12.2 FINAL CHECKS
Immediately prior to return of the Aircraft, Lessee shall perform the
following:
(a) Lessee shall perform (or have performed by an Agreed
Maintenance Performer) a full and complete zonal, systems and
structural check ("C" or its equivalent), including the
corresponding lower checks ("A" and "B" or equivalent) and any
other maintenance and inspections tasks that are a part thereof,
all in accordance with the Agreed Maintenance Program. At
return, the Airframe will have zero Flight Hours since such "C"
check, except for the acceptance flights and the ferry flight to
the Redelivery Location. Lessee will also weigh the Aircraft.
Any discrepancies revealed during such inspection will be
corrected in accordance with Manufacturer's maintenance and
repair manuals or FAA-approved data. Lessee shall also perform
during such check, to the
-54-
extent it is able, any other work reasonably required by Lessor
(and not otherwise required under this Agreement) so long as such
work does not prevent Lessee from returning the Aircraft on the
Expiry Date, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for such work at
Lessee's preferred customer rates.
(b) Lessee shall perform (or have performed by an Agreed Maintenance
Performer) an internal and external corrosion inspection in
accordance with the manufacturer's corrosion prevention and control
program ("CPCP") specified for the model type and correct any
discrepancies in accordance with the recommendations of the
manufacturer and the manufacturer's structural repair manual
("SRM"). In addition, all inspected areas will be properly treated
with corrosion inhibitor as recommended by manufacturer.
(c) If Lessee performed any structural inspections or tasks on a
sampling basis but did not perform such inspections on the
Aircraft, such work shall also be performed on the Aircraft.
(d) Lessee shall perform a videotape borescope inspection of the low
pressure and high pressure compressors and the turbine area of the
Engines. All items beyond the applicable Engine manufacturer's
maintenance manual limits will be rectified at Lessee's sole cost
and expense. No Engine win be "on watch" for any reason requiring
special or out of sequence inspection.
(e) In accordance with the applicable maintenance manual, Lessee shall
perform a maximum power assurance run and condition, acceleration
and bleed valve scheduling checks on the Engines. Lessee will
record and evaluate the Engine performance, with Lessor and/or its
representative entitled to be present. The performance and all
operating parameters of each Engine will be within the limits
specified in the Engine manufacturer's maintenance manual.
(f) Lessee shall have removed and blended all external and interior
markings.
(g) If the Engine historical and technical records and the condition
trend monitoring data of any Engine or the APU indicate an abnormal
acceleration in the rate of deterioration in the performance of
such Engine or APU, Lessee shall correct such conditions causing
the accelerated rate of deterioration.
12.3 FINAL INSPECTION
(a) During the 15 days prior to redelivery of the Aircraft, the Lessee
will make the Aircraft available to the Lessor and the Lender for
inspection ("FINAL INSPECTION") in order to verify that the
condition of the Aircraft complies with this Agreement. The Final
Inspection will be long enough to permit the Lessor and the Lender
to inspect, at their
-55-
own cost, the Aircraft Documents, the Aircraft and uninstalled
Parts and the Engines. The Lessor and the Lender shall attend and
conduct the Final Inspection diligently and, without limiting their
right to conduct the full Final Inspection permitted by this
Agreement, will cooperate with the Lessee in order to complete the
Final Inspection as soon as reasonably practical.
(b) The Lessor and the Lender shall also be entitled, as part of the
Final Inspection, to require the Lessee to perform an acceptance
flight of up to three hours at the Lessee's cost (with the Lessor's
and the Lender's representatives as on-board observers) and such
further acceptance flights as may be necessary in the event that
the first or subsequent flights do not confirm that the Aircraft
complies with the requirements of this Agreement.
(c) At the request of Lessor, Lessee shall perform "bridging"
maintenance procedures for the purpose of standardizing the
Aircraft to the maintenance program of any subsequent operator of
the Aircraft; provided, however, that Lessor shall pay to Lessee
the Actual Cost of all "bridging" procedures that are in excess of
or not in lieu of the "C" Check to be performed pursuant to Clause
12.2 and Schedule 3.
12.4 NON-COMPLIANCE
To the extent that, at the time of Final Inspection, the condition of
the Aircraft does not comply with this Agreement, the Lessee shall at
the option of the Lessor and the Lender:
(a) immediately rectify-the non-compliance and, to the extent the
non-compliance extends beyond the Expiry Date, the Term will be
automatically extended until the non-compliance has been rectified;
or
(b) redeliver the Aircraft to the Lessor and indemnify the Lessor, and
provide security reasonably acceptable to the Lessor and the Lender
for that indemnity, against the cost of putting the Aircraft into
the condition required by this Agreement.
During any extension of the Term pursuant to sub-clause (a), this
Agreement will remain in full force and effect, including the obligation
to pay Basic Rent (which Lessee shall pay on a PER DIEM basis weekly in
advance); provided, however, that Lessee shall not operate, or permit
others to operate, the Aircraft after the Expiry Date except for
acceptance flights pursuant to Clause 12.2 and a ferry flight to the
Redelivery Location.
12.5 EXPORT DOCUMENTATION
Upon redelivery and upon request by the Lessor, the Lessee shall (a)
provide to the Lessor all documents necessary to export the Aircraft
from the State of Registration (including a valid and subsisting export
licence for the Aircraft), and (b) provide any documents
-56-
requested by the Lessor in connection with, and otherwise cooperate
with, the deregistration of the Aircraft by the Aviation Authority,
including causing the Aviation Authority to issue an Export Certificate
of Airworthiness to a country specified by the Lessor.
12.6 ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Provided the Lessee has complied with its obligations under this
Agreement, following redelivery of the Aircraft by the Lessee to the
Lessor at the Redelivery Location, the Lessor will deliver to the Lessee
an acknowledgment confirming that the Lessor is satisfied that the
Aircraft is in the condition required by this Agreement and has been
redelivered to the Lessor in accordance with this Agreement.
12.7 MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
(a) During the 20 day period preceding the scheduled Expiry Date and
upon the Lessor's request, the Lessee will provide the Lessor or
its agent reasonable access to the Agreed Maintenance Program and
the Aircraft Documents in order to facilitate the Aircraft's
integration into any subsequent operator's fleet. The Lessor agrees
that it will not disclose the contents of the Agreed Maintenance
Program to any person or entity except to the extent necessary to
monitor the Lessee's compliance with this Agreement and/or to
bridge the maintenance program for the Aircraft from the Agreed
Maintenance Program to another program after the Expiry Date.
(b) Concurrent with providing the Aircraft Documents for Lessor's
review, Lessee shall provide to Lessor a written summary of all
sampling programs involving or affecting the Aircraft.
12.8 STORAGE
If the Lessor so requests, and subject to the availability of the
requisite space, the Lessee shall park and store the Aircraft at a
secure storage area, which may be at the Redelivery Location or at any
other suitable facility of the Lessee selected by the Lessee, wherever
located (the "STORAGE LOCATION"), on behalf of the Lessor for a period
not exceeding 30 days from the Expiry Date. During that period the
Aircraft shall be at the Lessee's risk (save as to any loss or damage
caused by the Lessor's wilful misconduct or gross negligence), and the
Lessee shall maintain and store the Aircraft in accordance with the
respective manufacturer's maintenance planning document and shall insure
the Aircraft in accordance with a "ground risk only" policy usual and
customary in the worldwide aviation insurance marketplace. All storage,
maintenance and insurance costs shall be borne by the Lessee. If the
Lessor so requests, and subject to the availability of the requisite
space, the Lessee shall continue to park and store the Aircraft at the
Storage Location on behalf of the Lessor for a further period not
exceeding 60 days. During that further period the Aircraft shall be at
the Lessor's risk (save as to any loss or damage caused by the Lessee's
wilful misconduct or
-57-
gross negligence), but the Lessee shall continue to maintain, store and
insure the Aircraft in accordance with this Clause 12.8. All reasonable
storage, maintenance and insurance costs incurred by the Lessee
(excluding any profit element accruing to the Lessee) during such
further period shall be reimbursed by the Lessor promptly upon
presentation of supporting invoices and/or receipts.

If an Event of Default occurs, and for as long as it shall continue, the
Lessor may at its option (and without prejudice to any of its other
rights under this Agreement), at any time thereafter:
(a) treat such event as a repudiation by the Lessee of its obligations
under this Agreement and by notice to the Lessee with immediate
effect terminate the leasing of the Aircraft (but without prejudice
to the continuing obligations of the Lessee under this Agreement),
whereupon all rights of the Lessee under this Agreement shall
cease; and/or
(b) proceed by appropriate court action or actions to enforce
performance of this Agreement or to recover damages for the breach
of this Agreement; and/or
(c) either:
(i) take possession of the Aircraft, for which purpose the
Lessor may enter any premises belonging to, occupied by or
under the control of the Lessee (for which purpose the Lessee
hereby grants to the Lessor an irrevocable licence to the
extent permitted by applicable law) where the Aircraft may be
located, or cause the Aircraft to be redelivered to the
Lessor at the Redelivery Location (or such other location as
the Lessor may require), and the Lessor is hereby irrevocably
authorized and empowered, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, to direct pilots of the Lessee or other
pilots to fly the Aircraft to that airport and will have all
the powers and authorizations necessary for taking such
action; or
(ii) by serving notice, require the Lessee to redeliver the
Aircraft to the Lessor at the Redelivery Location (or such
other location as the Lessor may require).
13.3 EXPORT
-62-
If an Event of Default occurs, and for as long as it shall continue, the
Lessor may sell or otherwise deal with the Aircraft as if this Agreement
had never been made and the Lessee will, at the request of the Lessor,
take all steps necessary to export the Aircraft from the country where
the Aircraft is for the time being situated and any other steps
necessary to enable the Aircraft to be redelivered to the Lessor in
accordance with this Agreement. The Lessee hereby irrevocably and by way
of security for its obligations under this Agreement authorizes and
empowers the Lessor as its attorney to execute and deliver any
documentation and to do any act or thing required in connection with the
foregoing.
13.4 DEFAULT PAYMENTS
If a Default occurs, the Lessee will indemnify the Lessor on demand
against any loss, damage, expense, cost or liability which the Lessor
may sustain or incur directly or indirectly as a result, including:
(a) any loss of profit (calculated on an after-tax basis) suffered by
the Lessor because of the Lessor's inability to place the Aircraft
on lease with another Lessee on terms as favorable to the Lessor as
this Agreement or because whatever use, if any, to which the Lessor
is able to put the Aircraft upon its return to the Lessor, is not
as profitable (calculated on an after-tax basis) to the Lessor as
this Agreement would have been but for such Default or
non-delivery;
(b) in the event that the Aircraft is sold as a consequence of
the Lessor's inability to enter into a satisfactory lease
within a reasonable period, the amount (if any) by which (i) the
aggregate of (1) the net sale proceeds (calculated by
deducting the costs of sale together with the cost of preparing
the Aircraft for sale and the repayment of any outstanding
indebtedness in relation to the financing of the Aircraft) plus
(2) the present value of the anticipated after-tax net income
to be derived from such net sale proceeds up to the scheduled
Expiry Date, discounted on a monthly basis using 9.5% PER ANNUM
as the discount rate, are less than (ii) the aggregate of (1) the
anticipated net sale proceeds (computed on the same basis as the
net sale proceeds referred to in (i)(1) above), assuming that
the Aircraft would have been sold as soon as reasonably
practicable following the scheduled Expiry Date plus (2) the
present value of the income that would have been derived from the
future Basic Rent payable until the scheduled Expiry Date,
discounted on a monthly basis using 9.5% PER ANNUM as the discount
rate;
(c) any amount of principal, interest, fees or other sums whatsoever
paid or payable on account of funds borrowed in order to carry any
amount unpaid by the Lessee;
(d) any loss, premium, penalty or expense that may be incurred in
repaying funds raised to finance the Aircraft or in unwinding any
swap, forward interest rate agreement or other financial instrument
relating in whole or in part to the Lessor's financing of the
Aircraft; and
-63-
(e) any loss, cost, expense or liability sustained or incurred by the
Lessor owing to the Lessee's failure to redeliver the Aircraft on
the date, at the place and in the condition required by this
Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Clause 5.8(a) will apply
to any sums payable by the Lessee pursuant to this Clause 13.4.

The Lessor shall be entitled at any time after Delivery to grant a
security interest in the Aircraft or its right, title and interest in
this Agreement (each, an "ADDITIONAL MORTGAGE") in favor of any person
(each, an "ADDITIONAL MORTGAGEE"). Any Additional Mortgage may be a
successor mortgage to the Security Interest granted to the Lender, or
may be in addition to the Lender's Security Interest and previous
Additional Mortgages and with a priority senior, equal or subordinate to
the Lender's Security Interest and previous Additional Mortgages as the
Lender and previous Additional Mortgagees may permit. In the case of any
such grant by Lessor of an Additional Mortgage to an Additional
Mortgagee in all or any portion of Lessor's rights, title and interest
in and to the Aircraft and this Agreement, Lessee shall promptly, at the
specific written request of Lessor and with Lessor paying all of
Lessee's out-of-pocket costs and expenses:

was originally the "Lessor" or "Lender";
(b) execute and deliver to Lessor and such Additional Mortgagee such
agreements as the Lessor may reasonably require for the purposes of

certificates of insurance and broker's letter of undertaking
substantially in the form set out in Parts 2 and 3 of Schedule 4,

the specified insurance requirements of this Agreement, adding such
Additional Mortgagee as an additional insured and, if requested by
Lessor and consented to by the previous loss payee, listing such
Additional Mortgagee as sole loss payee;

exceptions), and (ii) to the effect that such Additional
Mortgagee may rely on the opinion delivered by such counsel or
its predecessor counsel in connection with this Agreement on
the Delivery Date with the same force and effect as if such
Additional Mortgagee was an original addressee of such opinion
when given; and
-67-
(g) such other documents as Lessor or such Additional Mortgagee may
reasonably request so long as such documents do not adversely
affect the rights or obligations of Lessee under this Lease or
otherwise adversely affect Lessee.
14.4 SALE AND LEASEBACK BY LESSOR
In addition to the Transfers and grants of security interests permitted
by Clauses 14.2 and 14.3, Lessor shall be entitled to transfer its
right, title and interests in and to the Aircraft to any person and
lease the Aircraft from such person (a "HEAD LESSOR"), and in such event
Lessor shall retain its rights and obligations as the "Lessor" under
this Agreement. In the event of such a sale and lease-back by Lessor,

defined in Clause 14.2(a)(ii) above, (b) the Lessor shall be entitled to
assign its rights in this Agreement to such Head Lessor as security for
its obligations under the head lease, (c) the Head Lessor shall be
entitled to grant to one or more purchase money lenders, or to an
indenture trustee on behalf of such lenders, an Additional Mortgage
covering the Aircraft and this Agreement, (d) Lessee shall execute and
deliver to Lessor, such Head Lessor, such Additional Mortgagee and any
trustees on their behalf, as appropriate, the documents specified in
Clauses 14.2(c)(i) through (vii) and Clauses 14.3(a) through (g) above,
and Lessee shall cooperate with Lessor to make such other changes to
this Lease, such as including such Head Lessor, such Additional
Mortgagee and the trustees on their behalf as additional insureds and
"Indemnitees", as Lessor may reasonably request so long as such changes
do not adversely affect the rights or obligations of Lessee under this
Lease or otherwise adversely affect Lessee and with Lessor paying all of
Lessee's out-of costs and expenses.
14.5 FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Lessee further acknowledges that any Transferee or Additional Mortgagee
shall in turn have the rights of, and be subject to the conditions to,
transfer and grants of security interests set forth above in this Clause
14.

shall be conclusive evidence of its right to exercise it.

with respect to the Aircraft for the Agreed Value and with a
deductible not exceeding $500,000.
(b) HULL WAR AND ALLIED PERILS, covering those war risks excluded from
the Hull "All Risks" Policy to the extent such coverage is
available from the leading international insurance markets,
including confiscation and requisition by the State of
Registration, for the Agreed Value;
(c) "ALL RISKS" PROPERTY INSURANCE (INCLUDING WAR AND ALLIED RISK

Engines;
(d) AIRCRAFT THIRD PARTY, BODILY INJURY/PROPERTY DAMAGE, PASSENGER,
BAGGAGE, CARGO AND MAIL AND AIRLINE GENERAL THIRD PARTY (INCLUDING

North America by an airline similarly situated as Lessee. If the
Lessee disputes any such adjustment, the matter shall be referred
to a reputable independent insurance broker in the United
States of America appointed by the Lessor, whose decision, acting
as expert, shall be conclusive and binding on the Lessee.
2. All required hull and spares insurance (specified in (1)(a), (b) and (c)
above), so far as it relates to the Aircraft, will:
-90-
(a) provide that any loss will be settled with the Lessee (who

thereto), and any claim that becomes payable on the basis of a
Total Loss shall be paid in Dollars to the Lender as sole loss
payee up to the Agreed Value, and loss proceeds in excess of the
Agreed Value shall be payable to Lessee, with any other claim being
payable as may be necessary for the repair of the damage to which
it relates;
(b) if separate Hull "All Risks" and "War Risks" insurances are
arranged, include a 50/50 provision in the terms of Lloyd's
endorsement AVS 103 or its equivalent; and
(c) confirm that the Insurers are not entitled to replace the Aircraft
in the event of a Total Loss.
3. All required liability insurances (specified in (1)(d) above) will:
(a) include the Lessor, the Lender, their respective successors and
assigns and their respective shareholders, Affiliates,
subsidiaries, directors, officers, agents, employees and
indemnitees as additional assureds for their respective rights and
interests, warranted (each as to itself only) no operational
interest; but the coverage provided will not include claims arising
out of their legal liability as manufacturer, repairer or servicing
agent of the aircraft or any part thereof;
(b) include a severability of interest clause;
(c) contain a provision confirming that the policy is primary without
right of contribution and that the liability of the insurers will
not be affected by any other insurance of which the Lessor, the
Lender or the Lessee have the benefit; and
(d) accept and insure the indemnity provisions of this Agreement to the
extent of the risks covered by the relevant policy or policies.
4. All Insurances will:
(a) be in accordance with normal industry practice of persons operating
similar aircraft in similar circumstances;
(b) provide coverage on a worldwide basis subject to those territorial

(c) acknowledge that the insurers are aware that the Aircraft is owned
by the Lessor and is subject to this Agreement;

additional assureds, the Insurances will not be invalidated by any
act or omission of the Insured which results in a breach of any
terms, conditions or warranty of the policies;
(e) provide that the Insurers will waive any rights of recourse and/or
subrogation against each additional assured to the same extent that
Lessee has waived or has no rights of recovery against-such
additional assured in the Lease;
(f) provide that the additional assureds will have no obligation or
responsibility for the payment of any premiums (but reserve the
right to pay the same should any of them elect to do so) and that
the Insurers will waive any right of offset or counterclaim against
the respective additional assureds other than for outstanding
premiums in respect of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part;
(g) provide that, except in the case of any provision for cancellation
or automatic termination specified in the policies or endorsements
thereof, the Insurance can only be canceled or materially altered
in a manner adverse to the additional assureds by giving at least
30 days' written notice to the Lessor and the Lender, except in the
case of war risks (or radioactive contamination), for which seven
days' written notice (or such lesser period as is or may be
customarily available in respect thereof) will be given; and
(h) include a services of suit clause.

or its properties requires it to be qualified, (iii) presently

it is now being conducted and to enter into, legally bind itself by,
and perform its obligations under the Operative Documents and (v) to
