Lessee hereby assigns, transfers and pledges to Lessor and hereby grants to Lessor a first priority security interest in the Security Deposit to secure all payments due by Lessee and the performance by Lessee of all of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents to which Lessee is a party.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β Β Lessee may comply with its obligations under SectionΒ 5.4(a) by providing a Security Deposit LC for all of the Security Deposit to Lessor no later than one Business Day before the Delivery Date. The Security Deposit LC shall be in a form agreed by Lessor and issued in the name of Lessor, or if required by Lessor, Security Trustee, with a face amount equal to the Security Deposit. Provided no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, upon three Business Days notice to Lessor, Lessee may substitute the Security Deposit for a Security Deposit LC (an "LC Substitution"), provided that Lessee may make only one LC Substitution in any 12Β month period and provided further that Lessor shall have three Business Days from the date it receives the Security Deposit LC in the form provided herein to return to the Lessee the Security Deposit. Provided no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, Lessee may, upon three Business Days notice to Lessor, substitute cash for all of the face amount of a Security Deposit LC (a "Cash Substitution"), provided that a Cash Substitution may only be made on the scheduled renewal date of any Security Deposit LC in lieu of providing a replacement Security Deposit LC.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β Β Β Each Security Deposit LC shall have an expiry date of at least one year after its issue date (or in the case of a Security Deposit LC to be issued during the final year of the Lease Term, an expiry date no earlier than one month after the expiry of the Lease Term).
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β Β Β Lessee shall effect the extension or renewal of each Security Deposit LC not later than the date which is the earlier of:

If the amount received by Lessor, when converted into U.S. Dollars (at the market rate at which Lessor is able on the relevant date to purchase U.S. Dollars in New York with that other currency) is less than the amount owed in U.S. Dollars, Lessee will, forthwith on demand, pay to Lessor (on an After-Tax Basis) an amount in Dollars equal to the deficit.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Β Β Β Insurance.Β Β Β Β Lessee will maintain the Insurances in full force during the Lease Term, and thereafter as expressly required in this Agreement, which shall be in line with best industry practice for comparable operators and shall be through such brokers and with such insurers of recognized standing in the London and/or New York markets and having such deductibles and subject to such exclusions as may be approved by Lessor from time to time. The Insurances shall in any event meet the requirements set out in ScheduleΒ 9 which may be amended from time to time by Lessor, following reasonable notice to Lessee, so that the scope and level of cover is maintained in line with generally accepted industry-wide practice for airlines similarly situated with, and operating similar aircraft as, Lessee such that the interests of Lessor and each Indemnified Party are prudently protected.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β Β Β Change.Β Β Β Β If at any time Lessor wishes to revoke its approval of any insurer, reinsurer, insurance or reinsurance, Lessor and/or its brokers will consult with Lessee and Lessee's brokers (as for the time being approved by Lessor) regarding whether that approval should be revoked to protect the interests of the parties insured. If, following such consultation, Lessor considers (acting reasonably) that any change should be made, Lessee will then arrange or procure the arrangement of alternative cover reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.

Such engine shall, after such transfer, be deemed part of the property leased hereunder and shall be deemed an Engine.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Any such extension shall not prejudice Lessor's right to treat such non-compliance or failure as a Lease Event of Default at any time, and to enforce such rights and remedies as may be available to Lessor and Owner Participant in respect thereof under the terms of this Agreement or applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessee's Basic Rent obligation under SectionΒ 11.2(a)(iii) above shall be without prejudice to Lessor's rights to terminate the leasing of the Aircraft pursuant to SectionΒ 10.2(a)(iii) and to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β Β Lessor may elect (either on first tender of the Aircraft by Lessee or at any time during any extension period for tender of the Aircraft) to accept redelivery of the Aircraft notwithstanding non-compliance with the Redelivery Conditions, in which case Lessee will indemnify Lessor and Owner Participant, and provide cash to Lessor promptly following such time in an amount reasonably estimated by Lessor as the cost to Lessor of putting the Aircraft into the condition required by this Agreement. Any such payment in excess of the actual cost to Lessor of putting the Aircraft into the condition required by this Agreement will be promptly returned to Lessee by Lessor.
