ground equipment or functions that Amazon may be responsible for pursuant to Section 2.5, Airborne Global and the Airborne Global Providers will provide all equipment, Personnel, software, and supplies required to perform the Services.
2.2 Airborne Global Provision of Services by Contract with Carriers. Airborne Global will provide the Services by contracting for the performance of cargo air transportation services with appropriately certificated cargo air carriers in accordance with this Section 2.2. Airborne Global may in its discretion, upon notice to Amazon but without any additional consent of Amazon, contract for the performance of Services with either or both of ATI and ABX, each of which is a certificated cargo air carrier that is an Affiliate of Airborne Global, except that, with the prior consent of a Vice President of Amazon (which may be granted or withheld in Amazon’s sole discretion), Airborne Global may also contract for the performance of Services with any certificated cargo air carrier that becomes an Airborne Global Affiliate after the Effective Date. Each of ABX, ATI, and any such approved Airborne Global Affiliate carrier are referred to as an “Affiliate Carrier.” In addition, with the prior written consent of a Vice President of Amazon (which may be granted or withheld in Amazon’s sole discretion), Airborne Global may contract for the performance of Services with one or more third party certificated cargo air carriers (a “Third Party Carrier”) that are not an Affiliate Carrier.

Each Carrier with which Airborne Global contracts for the performance of Services will enter into one or more separate Work Orders between the Carrier and Amazon, and the Carrier will be bound by the provisions of this Agreement with respect to such Work Orders. Airborne Global will remain jointly and severally responsible for the provision of Services notwithstanding any contracting of Services to any Carrier. Each Carrier will execute a Work Order in the form of Exhibit B-1.

2.6.8 Noise and emission taxes, fees, and assessments not within the reasonable control of Carrier and arising solely and directly as a result of Services performed under a Work Order; and
2.6.9 Rent and any other amounts payable by Carrier to AFS (or one of its Affiliates) under the Aircraft Sublease for the Aircraft subject to the corresponding Work Order, except that the Parties may elect to offset such amounts against those payable by Amazon to Carrier so that no cash settlement is necessary.
Airborne Global will notify Amazon of its internal departments, Airborne Global Providers, or third party subcontractors, responsible for performance of Services and provision of assets under this Section 2.6, including reasonably requested details regarding those arrangements and operations.
2.7 Fuel. Amazon will purchase fuel for the Aircraft during the term of this Agreement, except to the extent Amazon and Airborne Global or an Airborne Global Provider enter into a Work Order with respect to fuel as described in this Section 2.7. Each month, and without regard to whether Amazon and Airborne Global or an Airborne Global Provider enter into such a Work Order or Amazon purchases the fuel for the Aircraft, each Carrier will prepare a fuel reconciliation log (with copies of the aircraft log book as support) on a weekly basis that will reflect the actual fuel used by the Aircraft in the provision of the Services, which Airborne Global will use to prepare invoices for fuel reimbursement under Exhibit E to this Agreement, as applicable. Airborne Global will also promptly provide a copy of the fuel reconciliation log to Amazon upon request. When an Aircraft enters service for Amazon under this Agreement (e.g., because it replaces or substitutes for another Aircraft, permanently or temporarily), or when an Aircraft leaves Amazon’s service
11
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
under this Agreement (e.g., because it is replaced, or because it was only temporarily substituting for another Aircraft) either Amazon or Airborne Global will reimburse the other for the cost of fuel in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 2.7 but also subject to Section 2.11.1 (Spare Aircraft), Section 2.11.2 (Substitute Aircraft), Section 2.11.3 (Substitute Carrier), and Section 2.11.4 (Network Spares). When an Aircraft begins being utilized in the performance of Services under a Work Order, Amazon will reimburse Airborne Global for the cost of fuel on board the Aircraft prior to its first departure flight in the provision of such Services. When an Aircraft ceases being utilized in the performance of Services, Airborne Global will reimburse Amazon for the cost of all fuel on board the Aircraft at its last arrival on a flight in the performance of such Services. The per gallon fuel price for the above calculation will be the price per gallon paid at the last refuel of the Aircraft. To the extent that Amazon requests that a Carrier obtain fuel through Airborne Global or an Airborne Global Provider, Amazon and Airborne Global or the Airborne Global Provider (as applicable) will enter into a Work Order in the form of Exhibit B-2 that outlines the terms of such arrangement, which will include a [*] fee [*] to be payable by Amazon to Airborne Global concurrently with the Fixed Monthly Charge.

17
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
one or more Spare Aircraft available to Amazon: (a) to perform flights that are not part of the Flight Schedule at Amazon’s request; or (b) to substitute for an Aircraft that is unavailable due to a reason that is not attributable to a Carrier Delay. Amazon will compensate the relevant Carrier at the rate of $[*] per day, or portion thereof, for the use of a Boeing 767-200 model Spare Aircraft and $[*] per day, or portion thereof, for the use of a Boeing 767-300 Spare Aircraft (by payment to Airborne Global) when Carrier provides a Spare Aircraft at Amazon’s request. In the event that an Aircraft is unavailable due to a Carrier Delay and the Carrier provides a Spare Aircraft, the Carrier will reimburse Amazon for any landing fees, or other costs (excluding, for clarity, incremental fuel burn, but including ferry flights and Block Hours) in excess of those that Amazon would have incurred under Section 2.6 had the flights been operated with the affected Aircraft. In the event that that a Spare Aircraft is unavailable to substitute for an Aircraft that is unavailable due to a Carrier Delay, then the resulting cancellation or delay will be factored into the calculation of Arrival Performance for the relevant period, except that such availability will not be taken into account to the extent that a Spare Aircraft is unavailable because it has already been provided at Amazon’s request. Except for the cost reimbursement and fee described in this Section 2.12, a Carrier’s performance of the Services utilizing a Spare Aircraft in accordance with this Section will otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2.11.4 Network Spares. Amazon may, in its sole discretion, designate one or more Aircraft on the Flight Schedule to the corresponding Work Order(s) to be available to provide backup or supplementary lift in support of Amazon’s network (each, a “Network Spare”).

2.11.5 Intermediate Landings; Flight Disruptions. If a Carrier determines that an intermediate landing is necessary due to Force Majeure, Carrier will invoice and Amazon will reimburse reasonable and documented additional costs incurred by Carrier (including added Block Hours, fuel, landing, maintenance turn costs, aircraft handling costs, and ground handling costs) in accordance with Section 2.6 and Exhibit E of this Agreement. Any additional costs with respect to such intermediate landings or arising from the return of the
18
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
Aircraft to the origin station arising from a mechanical problem or technical failure of the Aircraft or any failure to meet the Compliance Requirements will be for the account of the relevant Carrier, in which case Amazon will pay only the Block Hour and fuel charges as if the flight had been non-stop and according to the Flight Schedule so long as the flight is completed within [*] of the arrival time set forth in the Flight Schedule, and the Carrier will pay the added fuel charges, landing fees, positioning and repositioning expenses, and other costs associated with such intermediate landing, except that the Carrier will be responsible for all Block Hour and fuel charges to the extent that the flight is not completed within [*] of the arrival time set forth in the Flight Schedule. [*].
2.12 Operations for Third Parties. Carriers may use the Aircraft to provide air cargo transportation services to third parties so long as: (a) such usage does not interfere in any material respect with Carrier’s performance of the Services; (b) Carrier is not then in default under this Agreement, except that this clause (b) will not apply to the extent that Carrier was contractually obligated to use the Aircraft for third party services at the time of such default by Carrier; and (c) a Vice President of Amazon provides prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in in Amazon's sole discretion). If a Carrier provides air cargo transportation services to or for third parties using the Aircraft on a charter, wet lease, ACMI, or other contractual basis (such services hereinafter referred to as “Supplemental Flying”), then the Carrier will pay Amazon $[*] per day, or portion thereof, that the Carrier uses a Boeing 767-200 Aircraft for Supplemental Flying and $[*] per day, or portion thereof, for the use of a Boeing 767-300 Aircraft for Supplemental Flying, which fee will be payable as described in 2.12.2. Except as set forth herein, all revenue from such Supplemental Flying will inure to the benefit of the relevant Carrier. The Carrier is solely responsible for all of its operating costs with respect to or associated with Supplemental Flying.
2.12.1 On the final invoice for each month provided in accordance with the invoicing and payment provisions of Exhibit E to this Agreement, Airborne Global will provide to Amazon a detailed statement setting forth the utilization of any Aircraft for Supplemental Flying during the prior month and a credit in the amount of the fees owing to Amazon related to such utilization. For clarity, the amounts payable to Amazon under this Section 2.12 will not be prorated and will apply regardless as to the portion of the day an Aircraft is used for Supplemental Flying.
2.13 Force Majeure. The obligations of a Party under any Work Order may be suspended during the period and to the extent that such Party is prevented from complying with such obligations as a direct result of any of the following causes (in each case, only to the extent beyond such Party’s reasonable control): severe weather preventing flight operations, damage or destruction of flight equipment, riots or civil commotions, military emergency, terrorism, war or hazards, or damages incident to a state of war, strikes, lockouts, industrial disturbances, or other labor disputes, but not including Carrier Delays (each, a “Force Majeure”); except that in each case nothing in this Section
19
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
2.12 will relieve a Party of any obligation due to an event that was reasonably foreseeable, whose adverse effects could reasonably have been avoided or that otherwise could have reasonably been prevented by such Party, except that a Party’s obligations will be suspended only to the extent that: (a) as soon as reasonably possible (but in any event within four hours of occurrence of the event) such affected Party gives written notice of suspension to the other Party describing the time, date, extent and cause of the Force Majeure, and remediation plan for such suspension with reasonable detail, and (b) as soon as reasonably possible (but in any event within two days of occurrence of such event) such affected Party submits adequate evidence of the occurrence of such Force Majeure (including newspaper articles, government notices, insurance reports, sworn statements, and other evidence that may objectively document the severity of the event) that supports the material adverse effect such identified Force Majeure has had on the Party’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. If a Force Majeure affects Airborne Global's or an Airborne Global Provider’s ability to provide all or part of the Services required under this Agreement, Amazon will have the right, but not the obligation, to arrange for another party to provide such Services until such time as the Force Majeure can be cured and for a reasonable period thereafter; provided that except as otherwise provided for herein, Airborne Global or such Airborne Global Provider will be reinstated as soon as is reasonable under the circumstances. [*] Any Party whose obligations are suspended under this Agreement will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the impact of the suspension and resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably possible. If Airborne Global's or an Airborne Global Provider’s obligations are suspended for more than [*] under this Section 2.13, Amazon may thereafter immediately terminate the affected Work Order by giving notice of such termination to Airborne Global without paying any termination fee or other charges.
2.14 Unavailability. Except in the case of a Force Majeure, in the event that the non-availability of the Aircraft will result in a delay of [*] hours or more from the scheduled arrival time set forth in the Flight Schedule for a flight at its original point of departure, then the relevant Carrier will promptly notify Amazon of such delay, and Amazon will be entitled to determine in its sole discretion (within [*] hours of being so notified by the Carrier), whether to proceed with the flight as soon as reasonably practicable or to cancel the flight. [*] For purposes of this Section 2.14, “unavailability of the Aircraft” includes the Aircraft being in unserviceable condition, flight crews being unavailable or unable to operate any of the flights at any time, or such flights being prevented from occurring for any reason imputable to a Carrier or its Personnel.
2.15 Destruction or Casualty Loss of Aircraft. Notwithstanding anything contrary contained in this Agreement, if an Aircraft is destroyed or otherwise suffers a casualty occurrence that would constitute a total loss or a constructive total loss under the terms of the hull insurance required by Section 9.1.1 of this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft, then the affected Work Order will terminate with respect to such Aircraft and no Party will have any further obligation or liability to the other with respect to such Aircraft. For clarity, Amazon will have no obligation to pay any Carriers any fee, charge, compensation, damages, or other amount upon the expiration or
20
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
termination of such Work Order, other than preexisting payment obligations then due and owing, and obligations for Services that have already been performed by Carrier but that have not been billed in accordance with the affected Work Order and Exhibit E.

2.16.2 Fuel Tankering. Airborne Global and the applicable Airborne Global Providers will use best efforts to maximize fuel purchases at optimized locations based on the Flight Schedule in order to avoid paying a higher price at down-line locations.
2.16.3 Fuel Burn Optimization – In-flight Operations. Each Carrier will use best efforts to develop, implement, and maintain operating policies that minimize excessive fuel xxxxx while in flight.
2.16.4 Third Party Audit. By no later than June 30th of each of the second, third, and fourth Contract Years, Airborne Global and the Airborne Global Providers, at Amazon’s election and at its sole cost and expense, will undergo a third party audit of the fuel conservation practices described in this Section 2.16 to be performed by a recognized industry auditor that is reasonably acceptable to Airborne Global. Amazon will promptly provide Airborne Global with a copy of the results of such audit, pursuant to which Airborne Global and the Airborne Global Providers will act in good faith to implement the recommendations of such audit in accordance with applicable Law.
2.17 Reports, Audits and Record Retention. Airborne Global will provide to Amazon Reports and Electronic Communications in accordance with the requirements set forth in Exhibit E at no additional charge. Airborne Global and each Airborne Global Provider will keep true and accurate books and records relating to this Agreement and the Services (collectively “Records”) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles during the term of this Agreement and for a period of three years thereafter. At Amazon’s request during the term of this Agreement and for three years thereafter, Airborne Global and each Airborne Global Provider will: (a) enable Amazon and any designee to reasonably conduct a reasonable invoicing, service, and performance audit to determine if such Party is meeting its obligations under this Agreement, including providing access to and electronic copies of all relevant Records in a satisfactory mode and format that enables Amazon and its designee to conduct such audit; and (b) permit Amazon and any designee to conduct
21
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
a reasonable on-site inspection of the facilities, processes, systems, and working conditions applicable to the provision of the Services to determine if such Party is in compliance with this Agreement, including, specifically the Compliance Requirements. To the extent that any such amount is not subject to a good faith dispute, Airborne Global will reimburse Amazon for the full amount of any overcharge identified in the audit within 10 days from receipt of the audit results. [*]
2.18 Guarantee of Airborne Global Obligations. As an additional inducement for Amazon to enter into this Agreement, ATSG, as the Party that would benefit from Amazon’s use of Airborne Global and the Airborne Global Providers under this Agreement, has entered into and provided to Amazon the ATSG Guaranty.
2.19 Guarantee of Amazon Obligations. As an additional inducement for Airborne Global to enter into this Agreement, Xxxxxx.xxx, as the Party that would benefit from Amazon’s use of the Services provided under this Agreement, has entered into and provided to Airborne Global the Amazon Guaranty.
3. | PAYMENT |
3.1 Fees and Expenses. Amazon will pay Airborne Global in accordance with the rate structure and charges set forth in the applicable Work Order. For clarity, Amazon will not have any separate payment obligation to any Airborne Global Provider under this Agreement. The applicable Work Order rate structure and charges will not be modified during the term of the applicable Work Order, except for mutual agreement in accordance with Section 13.9. Neither Airborne Global nor any Airborne Global Provider is entitled to other fees, costs, accessorials, additional expenses, charges, surcharges, tariffs or other compensation or reimbursement for the Services other than as provided in this Agreement and the relevant Work Order.
3.2 Invoices and Payment. The terms of Exhibit E will govern the rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to invoices and payment and all other subject matter addressed therein.
4. | TERM AND TERMINATION |
4.1 Term. The term of this Agreement will begin as of the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section 4, will continue until March 31, 2021.
4.2 Amazon Termination for Convenience. AFS may terminate this Agreement for convenience at any time by providing Airborne Global with 180 days’ prior written notice, except that AFS may not provide notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement under this Section 4.2 during the first 180 days after the Effective Date, except as described in Section 4.5.
4.3 Amazon Termination Fee. In the event AFS terminates this Agreement for convenience in accordance with Section 4.2, AFS will pay to Airborne Global a termination fee
22
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
(the “Amazon Termination Fee”). If AFS terminates this Agreement for convenience between the Effective Date and the end of the second Contract Year, the Amazon Termination Fee will be $[*]. If AFS terminates this Agreement for convenience after the second Contract Year, the Amazon Termination Fee will be $[*].
4.4 Payment of Amazon Termination Fee. In the event of an AFS termination for convenience, AFS will pay to Airborne Global the Amazon Termination Fee on or before the date of termination of this Agreement, in addition to any other amounts due under this Agreement to Airborne Global as of the date of termination (whether or not such amounts are yet invoiced or payable), and Amazon will have no further obligations or liabilities to Airborne Global under this Agreement following such termination. The Amazon Termination Fee will be deemed liquidated damages and not a penalty. For clarity, any amounts due under this Agreement to Amazon as of the date of termination (whether or not such amounts are yet invoiced or payable) will remain due. The Amazon Termination Fee applies only in the case of the termination of this Agreement, and not the termination of one or more Work Orders, however, in the event that Amazon terminates enough Work Orders for convenience such that there are less than [*] active Work Orders (for clarity, not including any fuel or ground handling Work Orders as described in Sections 2.7 and 2.8.1, respectively), Airborne Global may deem this an AFS termination for convenience by providing written notice to AFS at any time when there are less than [*] active Work Orders. If Airborne Global provides such notice, this Agreement will terminate on the [*] after AFS' receipt of such notice and AFS will pay the applicable Amazon Termination Fee on or before such termination date. The Agreement and any active Work Orders will continue to remain in effect for: (a) [*]; or (b) until the corresponding Work Order Expiration Date(s); whichever is earlier, and at AFS' sole option and upon its prior written request, AFS and Airborne Global will make all commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an interim crew, maintenance and insurance agreement in anticipation of the termination of this Agreement. For clarity, the reduction in the number of any Work Orders due to Force Majeure or the total or constructive total loss of an Aircraft as described in Section 2.15 will not trigger Airborne Global's right to deem such reduction an AFS termination for convenience under this Section 4.4.
4.5 Investment Agreement. The Fixed Monthly Charge for each of the Initial Aircraft will be $[*] during the first, second, and third Contract Years, except that in the event that Xxxxxx.xxx has not provided ATSG with a notice of termination pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Investment Agreement on or before August 10, 2016, then: (a) the Fixed Monthly Charge for each of the Initial Aircraft shall have the meaning set forth in the Price Schedule as of May 31, 2016; and (b) Amazon shall promptly (but in no event later than September 10, 2016) pay to Airborne Global the amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of payments for the Fixed Monthly Charges that would have been payable to Airborne Global pursuant to this Agreement from the Effective Date through May 30, 2016 had the Fixed Monthly Charge for each of the Initial Aircraft been equal to $[*] per month during such period less (2) the aggregate amount of payments for Fixed Monthly
23
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.

However, the foregoing indemnification obligation in clause (b) does not apply to an Airborne Global Indemnified Party to the extent: (i) such Claim results from a violation of applicable Law with respect to such cargo by, or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, such Airborne Global Indemnified Party; or (ii) Amazon is acting as a broker on behalf of Airborne Global or an Airborne Global Provider with respect to third party cargo.
7.4. Amazon’s duty to defend is independent of its duty to indemnify. Amazon's obligations under this Section 7 are independent of all of its other obligations under this Agreement.

The requirements described in this Section 9 are collectively referred to as the “Insurance Requirements”.

Airborne Global and each Airborne Global Provider (as applicable) may charge and Amazon will pay applicable national, state or local sales or use taxes, excise or value added taxes that Airborne Global or such Airborne Global Provider is legally obligated to charge (“Transfer Taxes”), if those Transfer Taxes are stated on the original invoice that Airborne Global or such Airborne Global Provider provides to Amazon and Airborne Global's or such Airborne Global Provider’s invoices state those Transfer Taxes separately and meet the appropriate tax requirements for a valid tax invoice. Amazon may provide Airborne Global or the applicable Airborne Global Provider an exemption certificate or equivalent information acceptable to the relevant taxing authority, in which case Airborne Global or such Airborne Global Provider will not collect the Transfer Taxes covered by such certificate. Amazon may deduct or withhold any taxes that Amazon may be legally obligated to deduct or withhold from any amounts payable to Airborne Global or the Airborne Global Providers under this Agreement, and payment to Airborne Global or an Airborne Global Provider as reduced by such deductions or withholdings will constitute full payment and settlement to Airborne Global or such Airborne Global Provider of amounts payable under this Agreement.

No waiver will be effective under this Agreement except by a written instrument, expressly identifying the rights waived and signed by the authorized representative of each Person to be bound thereby. A waiver regarding any breach or default will not constitute a waiver with respect to any different or subsequent default unless expressly provided in such waiver instrument.

promptly and satisfactorily correct any Services provided in a manner not in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement or any other noncompliance with this Agreement noted in connection with any review or inspection. Airborne Global and the Airborne Global Providers acknowledge that any material breach of this Agreement by Airborne Global or the Airborne Global Providers would cause Amazon irreparable harm for which Amazon has no adequate remedies at Law. Accordingly, Amazon is entitled to specific performance of this Agreement or injunctive relief for any such breach. Each Party waives all claims for damages by reason of the wrongful issuance of an injunction and acknowledges that their only remedy in that case is the dissolution of that injunction.
13.7 Construction. Each Work Order, addendum, exhibit and schedule associated with this Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference, as if fully set forth herein, and each reference to an exhibit in this Agreement will include all subsections or portions of such exhibit, except that a Work Order or Work Orders may be referenced separately as context requires. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the Parties intend that this Agreement be enforced in such jurisdiction as if the unenforceable provisions were not present and that any partially valid and enforceable provisions be enforced in such jurisdiction to the extent that they are enforceable, and further agree to substitute for the invalid provision a valid provision (with respect to such jurisdiction) which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provisions. The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and have no interpretive value. References to currency or “$” in this Agreement refer to the United States of America Dollar unless otherwise expressly noted. Unless the context otherwise requires, as used in this Agreement, all terms used in the singular will be deemed to refer to the plural as well, and vice versa. The use of the word “including” and similar terms in this Agreement will be construed without limitation. References in this Agreement to “Business Days” will refer to each day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day that commercial banking institutions in Seattle, Washington or Atlanta, Georgia are authorized or required by Law to remain closed and “days” means consecutive calendar days. Each Party and its counsel has reviewed and jointly participated in the establishment of this Agreement. No rule of strict construction or presumption that ambiguities will be construed against any drafter will apply. Except as expressly set forth in Sections 13.8 and 13.9, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply solely for the benefit of the Parties (including their permitted successors and assigns), and nothing under this Agreement will give any other third party any benefit, right or remedy under this Agreement.

13.9 Work Orders. This Agreement governs each Work Order. If any provision of any Work Order conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, then the terms of this Agreement will control except to the extent the Work Order explicitly states that such provision is intended to create an exception to the conflicting term(s) of this Agreement, in which case the expressly identified provision of the Work Order will govern (but with such modification limited solely to the scope of the Work Order effecting such modification). Amazon and any of its Affiliates will have the right to enter into Work Orders with Airborne Global or Airborne Global Providers pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.7, and 2.8.1 of this Agreement, and this Agreement will apply to each such Work Order and as if the Amazon Affiliate was a signatory to the Agreement. With respect to such Work Orders, such Amazon Affiliate becomes a Party to this Agreement and references to Amazon in this Agreement are deemed to be references to such Affiliate unless otherwise specified. Each Work Order is a separate obligation of the Amazon Affiliate that executes such Work Order, and no other Amazon Affiliate has any liability or obligation under such Work Order. Each Amazon Affiliate receiving Services under this Agreement is an express intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement and will be entitled to enforce this Agreement as if an original signatory hereto.
13.10 Hazardous Materials Notifications.

[*]
13.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the NDA and all other documents referenced in this Agreement (including without limitation any then-effective Work Orders, Aircraft Lease Agreement and Aircraft Sublease Agreements), constitutes the complete and final agreement of the parties pertaining to the Services and supersedes the parties’ prior agreements, understandings, communications and discussions, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

2. | Block Hour Rate: [$[*] – 767-200 / $[*] – 767-300] |
3. | Minimum Monthly Block Hour Charge: [*] Block Hours per month at the then-applicable Block Hour Rate. The calculation of the number of Block Hours flown for the Work Order Aircraft will be based on the Network Average, in accordance with Section 2.10.3 of the Agreement. |

Performance Standards
1. | Services. |
1.1. | Carrier will return ULDs that are not suitable for air transportation and carrier-damaged ULDs to the address or addresses designated by Amazon. Carrier’s return delivery of such ULDs will be made according to agreed procedures, and Carrier will use best efforts to develop a mutually-acceptable system of consolidating these ULDs to minimize Amazon’s shipping costs. |
1.2. | Carrier will meet the flight availability commitments set forth in the Flight Schedule attached to each Work Order. |
1.3. | Carrier will in no circumstances alter any information on the label provided by Amazon on any package provided by Amazon or any third party for shipment as part of the Services. |
2. | Reports and Electronic Communications. Carrier will provide daily electronic reports including (A) performance and exception reports, (B) electronic summary reports itemizing volume on a periodic basis determined by Amazon, (C) such other reports described in this Agreement and (D) such other reports reasonably requested by Amazon, in the formats Amazon provides.. |
3. | Service Disruption. If Carrier experiences any material stoppage or disruption that generally diminishes its capacity to transport and deliver parcels, it will allocate its remaining available capacity to Amazon’s account on terms no less favorable than those granted to any other of Carrier’s customers. |
4. | Arrival Performance Incentive/Disincentive. |
4.1. | Amazon will pay to Airborne Global a monthly financial incentive bonus (the “Monthly Incentive Bonus”) for achieving an Arrival Performance (as defined in the following paragraph) greater than or equal to [*]% during such month. Alternatively, Airborne Global will provide Amazon with a credit (the “Monthly Disincentive Credit”) against amounts owed by Amazon to Airborne Global hereunder as a financial disincentive for achieving an Arrival Performance less than [*]% during such month. The Monthly Incentive Bonus and the Monthly Disincentive Credit to which Airborne Global may be entitled or subject to each month, are set forth in the table below. For clarity, payment to Airborne Global of a Monthly Incentive Bonus or Monthly Disincentive Credit will not cure an Airborne Global or Carrier Event of Default. |
4.2. | For purposes of this Agreement and the Work Orders, including for the purpose of determining the Monthly Incentive Bonus and the Monthly Disincentive Credit under this Agreement, the term “Arrival Performance” means, the percentage of all flights |

flown in performing the Services under this Agreement (including cancelled flights), in any given calendar month which arrive within not more than [*] whole minutes after the scheduled arrival time for each flight.
4.3. | In determining whether a flight has arrived within not more than [*] whole minutes after its scheduled arrival time, only delays that are attributable to circumstances that are within the reasonable control of the Carrier will be taken into account, including (a) the mechanical breakdown of an Aircraft; (b) the unavailability of an Aircraft due to regular scheduled maintenance (excluding Heavy Maintenance with respect to the Boeing 767-200 model Aircraft during such time when Carrier will provide a Substitute Aircraft) (c) the acts or omissions of a flight crew; (d) the unavailability of an Aircraft or Substitute Aircraft; and (e) flight planning, flight following or dispatch issues (collectively, “Carrier Delays”). Without limiting the foregoing, no flight directly affected by Force Majeure will be deemed to be delayed, regardless of its arrival time. |
4.4. | The Monthly Incentive Bonus or Monthly Disincentive Credit will be reflected by Airborne Global on the Monthly Invoice provided in accordance with Exhibit C for the calendar month in which the incentive or credit has been calculated. |

B. | Reconciliation of Block Hour Charges. A statement reconciling (1) the amount of the estimated Block Hour charges deposited with Airborne Global under the monthly deposit during the preceding calendar month with (2) the actual Block Hour charges payable by Amazon under the Agreement for the preceding calendar month, together with a statement of any additional amount due from Amazon to Airborne Global or any credit due from Airborne Global to Amazon as a result of that reconciliation; |

7. | Segregating Accounts. At Amazon’s election from time to time, Airborne Global will promptly create separate accounts and issue separate invoices for Amazon and each Amazon Affiliate for which it provides Services and, to the extent applicable, each Third Party Shipper. The payment obligation under each such separate account and invoice is a separate obligation solely of Amazon, the Amazon Affiliate, or the Third Party Shipper as applicable, to which the invoiced Services were provided, and no other Person will have any obligation with respect to such account or under such invoice |

In the event that the responsible managers are unable to resolve such dispute within [*] days after the Disputed Notice Date (in which case the settled amount will be paid within [*] days of such resolution), then such dispute will be escalated to a Vice President of Amazon and the Chief Financial Officer of Airborne Global for resolution. In the event that the Vice President of Amazon and Chief Financial Officer of Airborne Global are unable to resolve the dispute or the disputing Party has not paid the disputed amount within [*] days after the Disputed Notice Date (in which case the settled amount will be paid within [*] days of such resolution), then the Parties may pursue their respective rights in accordance with Section 13.3 of the Agreement. Airborne Global and each Carrier will be entitled to refuse to pick up any further parcels under Work Orders if Amazon fails to cure any payment default (which default, for clarity, does not include non-payment of a disputed invoice, payment, credit or other amount) within [*] Business Days after receiving written notice of such delinquency, except that Airborne Global and each Airborne Global Provider: will (A) continue to provide Services under the Agreement and Work Orders through the notice period; and (B) deliver all parcels that have been picked up through such notice period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Amazon has no obligation to pay any fees or expenses invoiced more than [*] months after the relevant Service was performed. |

In consideration for Airborne Global agreeing to enter into the Agreement and the Airborne Global Providers agreeing to enter into the Work Orders, Guarantor desires to guaranty the performance of the payment obligations of Amazon and its Affiliates under the Agreement and the Work Orders;
Based upon the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
1. Definitions. The definitions set forth in the above Recitals are hereby incorporated as if fully set forth in this Section 1.
2. Guaranty. Guarantor, as a primary obligor and not as surety, hereby guarantees, without any setoff or other deduction, to Airborne Global the due, punctual and full payment of all of payment obligations of the Amazon and its Affiliates (if any) under the Agreement and each Work Order when and as the same becomes due and payable in accordance with the terms thereof, without regard to how such payment obligations are described or characterized in the Agreement or any such Work Order (with all of the obligations, covenants, terms, conditions, undertakings and liabilities described in this Section 2 collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”).
This Guaranty is continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and a guaranty of payment and not of collectability, and is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to collect from or enforce performance or compliance by Amazon or any of its Affiliate or the exercise or assertion of any other right or remedy to which Airborne Global is or may be entitled under or in

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate maximum amount recoverable under this Guaranty is limited to the amount set forth next to the applicable calendar year in Schedule 1 to this Guaranty plus expenses as set forth in Section 9 hereof.
3. Character of Obligations of Guarantor.

(a) any amendment, modification, addition, deletion or supplement to or of or other change in the Guaranteed Obligations, the Agreement or any Work Order;
(b) any failure, omission or delay on the part of Amazon or any of its Affiliates to conform or comply with any term of any of the Agreement or any Work Order;
(c) any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or similar proceeding with respect to Amazon or any of its Affiliates; or
(d) any merger or consolidation of Amazon, any of its Affiliates, or Guarantor into or with any other corporation, or any other corporate change in Amazon, any of its Affiliates, or Guarantor, or any sale, lease or transfer of any of the assets Amazon, any of its Affiliates, or Guarantor to any other person, or any change in the ownership of any shares of capital stock of Amazon, any of its Affiliates, or Guarantor.

If the Aircraft is determined to be not in conformity with the Delivery Condition Requirements, the check flight will be repeated as necessary in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.7.5 and the flight time limitation will be waived by Lessor. Subject to applicable Law, Lessee and its representatives (a maximum of three people as observers) will be allowed to participate on board the Aircraft during the check flight (but will be responsible for their own expenses). Lessor will arrange for an experienced aircraft crew for the check flight (such crew to be authorized by the insurance policy covering the Aircraft), and Lessor will bear the operating expense of such check flight (including the cost of the crew, fuel, insurance, and any airport fees). Lessor will assume all risk of any loss or damage to the Aircraft in connection with such check flight(s) except to the extent the any loss or damage is caused solely and directly by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee or its representatives.
3.7.5. Promptly following the completion of the Inspection, Lessee will notify Lessor of any defect or non-conformity with the Delivery Condition Requirements (including, for clarity, any defects in the Aircraft Documents), whereupon Lessor will advise Lessee of the estimated time required to effect correction of such defects or discrepancies and will commence the correction of such discrepancies. Upon the completion of all required corrections, Lessor will make the Aircraft available to Lessee for any further ground and/or flight re-inspection as requested by Lessee (pursuant to Section 3.7.4) to verify compliance with the Delivery Condition Requirements.
3.7.6. If the Aircraft will be subject to a Carrier Sublease immediately upon Delivery: (a) Lessor will cause the Aircraft to be made available for Delivery on or before the Anticipated Delivery Date; (b) Lessee will defer its right to the Inspection (except with respect to the Aircraft Documents) until such time as there is a Carrier Sublease Transition;
13
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
(c) the Aircraft will be delivered to Lessee in serviceable and airworthy condition in accordance with the AMM and with no reduced interval inspections on the Airframe or Engines; and (d) Lessee will defer the right to require that the Aircraft satisfy the Delivery Condition Requirements until such time as there is a Carrier Sublease Transition.
3.8. Acceptance. Upon the completion of the Inspection and the performance by Lessor of all corrections required to bring the Aircraft into conformity with the Delivery Condition Requirements (except to the extent that such corrections are deferred by Lessee as described in Section 3.6.2), Lessee will execute and deliver to Lessor a Technical Acceptance Certificate substantially in the form of Appendix D (the “Technical Acceptance Certificate”).
3.9. Modifications. Except as required to be performed by Lessor to satisfy the Delivery Condition Requirements, all work required to be performed on the Aircraft solely to satisfy Lessee’s operational requirements will be performed by an Authorized Maintenance Provider at Lessee’s cost and expense. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, should Lessee (at any time during the Term) elect to make a change from the Carrier’s Maintenance Program, Lessee will be responsible for creating the bridge package for such special program.
4. Lessor Guaranty; Payments; Method of Payment.
4.1. Guarantees.
4.1.1. Lessor Guaranty. The Lessor Guaranty will be executed and delivered to Lessee concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and will provide for an irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of the performance of all of Lessor’s obligations to Lessee under this Agreement.
4.1.2. Lessee Guaranty. The Lessee Guaranty will be executed and delivered to Lessor concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and will provide for an irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of the performance of all of Lessee’s obligations to Lessor under this Agreement.
4.2. Basic Rent.
4.2.1. Lessee will pay, in advance, the Basic Rent to Lessor on each Date until the earlier of the following:
(a) in the event of a Total Loss, the payment to Lessor of the Agreed Value or receipt of confirmation of payment from the Aircraft's insurer in accordance with Section 19.1;
(b) the Return; or
(c) in the event that the Aircraft, upon the Return, does not conform to the Return Condition Requirements, if applicable, the date on which Lessor executes and delivers to Lessee a Return Receipt.
14
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
4.2.2. The termination of Lessee’s obligation to pay Basic Rent pursuant to Section 4.2.1(c) above will not be in derogation of Lessor’s other rights and remedies against Lessee in the event of a return of the Aircraft that does not conform to the Return Condition Requirements following the sublease of the Aircraft to a Third Party Carrier.
4.3. Basic Rent Payments.
4.3.1. The first payment of Basic Rent will be made on or prior to the Delivery Date, as a condition of the Delivery, in an amount equal to the product of: (a) the Basic Rent multiplied by (b) a fraction (i) whose numerator is the number of days from and after the Delivery Date remaining in the month which includes the Delivery Date and (ii) whose denominator is the total number of days in such month.
4.3.2. On each Rent Date following the Delivery Date (through the time set forth in Section 4.2.1 hereof) Lessee will pay the Basic Rent to Lessor as required by Section 4.2.1.
4.4. Variable Rent. Unless the Aircraft is subject to a Carrier Sublease, Lessee will pay, in arrears, the Variable Rent payment calculated in accordance with Section 4.5 below for the preceding month on each Rent Date (excluding the Delivery Date).
4.5. Variable Rent Payments. The Variable Rent payments due on each Rent Date will be the sum of:
4.5.4. The Engine Hours accrued on each Engine in the preceding month multiplied by the Engine Hour Rate; plus
4.5.5. The Engine Cycles accrued on each Engine in the preceding month multiplied by the Engine Cycle Rate.
4.6. Engine Maintenance Program.
4.6.7. The Engines will be maintained under the Delta Engine Program throughout the Term. In the event the Delta Engine Program is terminated for any reason Lessor will: (a) enroll the Engines in an alternate program providing equal or greater benefits as those provided under the Delta Engine Program; or (b) if no such program is available, maintain (or cause to be maintained) the Engines in an equal or greater condition than the Delta Engine Program, and, in either case, at no additional cost to Lessee. For clarity, if the Aircraft is subject to a Sublease, Lessor will continue to be responsible for all costs associated with maintaining the Engines as described in this Section 4.6.1, as consideration for Lessee’s payment of Variable Rent.
4.7. Payments in Dollars to Designated Bank Account. All payments owing by Lessee to Lessor under this Agreement (including the payment of Basic Rent) will be made in Dollars by the wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in Appendix B or to such other bank account as Lessor may designate in writing to Lessee.
15
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
4.8. Due Date Not on Business Day. In the event any payment required under this Agreement is due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment will be made on or before the next succeeding Business Day.
4.9. No Abatement. Lessee’s obligations to pay Rent will be absolute and unconditional and will not be affected by any circumstances occurring from and after the Delivery Date, including any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right Lessee may have against Lessor except for a breach of Lessee’s quiet enjoyment, except that, should the Aircraft be subject to a Carrier Sublease and the ATSA be in effect with respect to the Aircraft, the provisions of the ATSA will control with respect to Lessor’s ultimate responsibility (including through one of Lessor’s Affiliates) under the ATSA should the Aircraft become unavailable for use. There will be no abatement of Rent for any period when the Aircraft will be rendered unfit for use, grounded, unserviceable for any reason whatsoever, hijacked, confiscated, seized, requisitioned, restrained, or appropriated.
4.10. Interest on Overdue Amounts. Any amount which is more than [*] days overdue pursuant to this Agreement will bear interest at the rate indicated on Appendix B, calculated from the [*] day following the due date of such payment. The payment of such interest will be made together with the payment of the overdue amount.
5. Registration; Nameplates; Filings.
5.1. Registration. Throughout the Term of this Agreement, the Aircraft will remain registered in the United States or in such other jurisdiction as Lessor’s Lender approves, with such approval not being unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. At all times during the Term, the Aircraft will be registered with the applicable Aviation Authority in the name of Lessor (or Lessee’s sublessee/operator if in a jurisdiction that requires registration in the name of the operator of the Aircraft).
5.2. Nameplates. Lessee will attach or cause to be attached to the Airframe in a location reasonably adjacent to and not less prominent than the airworthiness certificate for the Aircraft, and to each Engine, fireproof nameplates in a form reasonably specified by Lessor which will evidence the ownership interest of Lessor (and, as directed by Lessor, the security interest of Lessor’s Lender, as applicable). Lessee will keep and maintain all such nameplates plainly and conspicuously on the Airframe and Engines at all times throughout the Term.
5.3. Filings. At or before Delivery, this Agreement (absent the provisions of Appendix B) and such other documents as Lessor may direct will be filed with the Aviation Authority and with any other Governmental Entity registrar or international registrar as provided by this Agreement, including the International Registry. All costs and expenses (including the legal fees charged by Special FAA Counsel but not including the legal fees charged by Lessor’s counsel) relating to each of such filings will be paid as set forth in Section 20.4.
6. Possession, Use and Operation of the Aircraft; Risk of Loss or Damage.
6.1. Possession of Aircraft; Operations.
16
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
6.1.1. Lessee, during the Term, will be entitled to the possession and use of the Aircraft. Except in the case of a Carrier Sublease, Lessee will not, without the prior written consent of Lessor, sublease or otherwise transfer possession of the Aircraft to any person or entity except as provided in this Section 6.1. So long as a Lessee Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing, Lessee may, with the prior written consent of Lessor’s Lender (which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) but without the prior written consent of Lessor, exercise the following rights:
(a) Lessee may deliver, or cause to be delivered, possession of the Aircraft to the Manufacturer or to any Authorized Maintenance Provider for testing, service, repair, maintenance, or overhaul work thereon or on any Part thereof or for alterations or modifications in or additions thereto to the extent required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement; and
(b) Lessee may enter into a sublease or other agreement with respect to the Aircraft with any Third Party Carrier and such Third Party Carrier, as sublessee/operator of the Aircraft, will be entitled to enter into and carry out any charter, “wet-lease,” or other authorized arrangements with respect to the Aircraft on terms whereby the Aircraft will at all times be operated by an aircrew employed by and subject to the operational control of such Third Party Carrier, except that any such sublease or other agreement: (a) will be subordinate in all respects to this Agreement; (b) will not extend beyond the end of the Term; and (c) will not be entered into or renewed beyond its current term in the event that at the time Lessee seeks to so enter into or renew such sublease or other agreement, a Lessee Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing. If the Third Party Carrier is becoming subject to a Sublease as part of a Carrier Sublease Transition, then Lessee may, in its sole discretion, perform a full Inspection of the Aircraft as described in Section 3.7 within 10 Business Days of the date of the termination of the Carrier Sublease while the Aircraft is located at the Delivery Location and, by providing notice to Lessor, require Lessor to repair any defect or non-conformity with the Delivery Condition Requirements (including, for clarity, any defects in the Aircraft Documents) identified during the Inspection. In such event, Lessor, at its sole cost and expense, will repair any such discrepancies or non-conformities within 10 Business Days after the date that Lessor receives written notice of same from Lessee, and upon Lessee's confirmation that Lessor has made all corrections required to bring the Aircraft into conformity with the Delivery Condition Requirements, Lessee will execute and deliver to Lessor a Technical Acceptance Certificate for the purpose of documenting the condition of the Aircraft. For the purposes of this Section 6.1.1(b), any reference to the "Delivery Date" or "Delivery" in the Delivery Condition Requirements will be deemed to be the date that the Carrier Sublease is terminated in connection with the Carrier Sublease Transition.
6.2. Possession of Engines.
6.2.1. During the Term, Lessee will be entitled to the possession and use of each of the Engines. Except in the case of a Carrier Sublease, or Sublease or other agreement
17
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
that Lessee has entered into in accordance with Section 6.1, Lessee will not, without the prior written consent of Lessor, transfer possession of any of the Engines to any person or entity, except that, so long as no Lessee Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee may, without the prior written consent of Lessor, exercise the following additional rights:
(a) Maintenance Workshop. Lessee may deliver or cause to be delivered possession of any Engine to the Manufacturer or to an Authorized Maintenance Provider for testing, service, repair, maintenance, or overhaul work on such Engine or any Part thereof or for alterations or modifications in or additions to such Engine to the extent required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Engines on Airframe Owned by Lessee. Lessee may install any Engine on an airframe owned by Lessee free and clear of all Liens, except: (i) Permitted Liens or those which apply only to the engines (other than Engines), appliances, parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories, furnishings, and other equipment (other than Parts) installed on such airframe; and (ii) the Lien of any mortgage which expressly provides that such Engine leased to Lessee hereby will not become subject to the Lien thereof, notwithstanding the installation of such Engine on any airframe subject to such Lien, unless and until Lessee will become the owner of such Engine.
(c) Engine on Airframe Leased to Lessee. Lessee may install any Engine on an airframe leased to Lessee or purchased by Lessee subject to a hire purchase or conditional sale agreement, provided that: (i) such airframe is free and clear of all Liens except (A) Permitted Liens or those which apply only to the engines (other than Engines), appliances, parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories, furnishings, and other equipment (other than Parts) installed on such airframe; (B) the Lien of any mortgage which expressly provides that such Engine leased to Lessee hereby will not become subject to the Lien thereof, notwithstanding the installation of such Engine on any airframe subject to such Lien, unless and until Lessee becomes the owner of such Engine; and (C) the rights of the Parties to the lease or hire purchase or conditional sale agreement covering such airframe; and (ii) there will be in effect between Lessee and such lessor or hire vendor or conditional vendor of such airframe a written agreement (which may be the lease or hire purchase or conditional sale agreement covering such airframe) whereby such lessor or hire vendor or conditional vendor expressly agrees that neither it nor its successors and assigns will acquire or claim any right, title or interest in such Engine by reason of such Engine being installed on such airframe at any time while such Engine is subject to this Agreement, except, that the rights of any transfer permitted by this Section 6.2 will be subject and subordinate to all of the terms of this Agreement, including Lessee’s obligation to return the Engines at the end of the Term and Lessor’s right to repossession pursuant hereto, and Lessee will remain primarily liable for the performance of all of the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if such transfer had not occurred.
18
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
6.2.2. In the event that Lessee will have entered into a mortgage, lease, or conditional sale agreement complying with the provisions of Section 6.2.1(b) or (c), Lessor hereby agrees, for the benefit of the mortgagee, lessor, or conditional vendor under such agreement, that Lessor and its successors and assigns will not acquire or claim, as against such mortgagee, lessor, or conditional vendor, any right, title, or interest in any engine owned by such person or entity or in which it has a security or ownership interest by reason of such engine’s being installed on the Airframe. Any Engine removed from the Aircraft will be, during the period such Engine is so removed, either safely housed and sheltered or repaired or maintained in accordance with this Agreement, or installed on an aircraft pursuant to this Section 6.2; except that: (a) Lessee maintains or causes to be maintained insurance in accordance with Section 11 in respect of the removed Engine at all times while it is removed from the Airframe (and, if reasonably required by Lessor, Lessee will furnish or cause to be furnished to Lessor waivers or acknowledgments by the insurers of the aircraft on which such removed Engine is installed); and (b) as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event on or before expiration of the Term or termination of this Agreement, such removed Engine is reinstalled on the Airframe.
6.2.3. Lessee will return the Engines to Lessor at the end of the Term. Either of the Engines at Return may be a replacement Engine under one of two conditions: (a) upon the occurrence of a Total Loss with respect to an Engine during the Term (requiring an Engine replacement pursuant to Section 19.2); or (b) Lessor agreeing to accept an engine in substitution for an Engine upon Lessee’s request, subject to Lessee and such replacement Engine satisfying all of the requirements of Section 19.2 (including the engine condition and title transfer requirements therein). Any replacement engine which satisfies this Section 6.2.3 (a “Replacement Engine”) thereafter will be deemed an “Engine” for all purposes under this Agreement.
6.3. Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Aircraft as provided in Section 7 may be subjected by Lessee (or a Carrier or Third Party Carrier, as applicable) to normal interchange or pooling agreements or arrangements customary in the airline industry and entered into by Lessee (or a Carrier or Third Party Carrier, as applicable) with other licensed air carriers or aviation parts suppliers in the ordinary course of its business, except that the part permanently replacing such removed Part will be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft in accordance with Section 7 promptly upon the removal of such removed Part. In addition, any replacement part, when incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft in accordance with Section 7, may be owned by another such air carrier or aviation parts supplier subject to such pooling arrangement, except that the Part so removed remains the property of Lessor and subject to this Agreement and that Lessee, at its expense, promptly thereafter either, (a) causes title to such replacement part to vest in Lessor free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens, in accordance with Section 7.5; or (b) replaces such replacement part by incorporating, installing, or attaching to the Aircraft a further replacement part owned by Lessee free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, and causes title to such further replacement part to vest in Lessor and causes such replacement part to become subject to this Agreement.
6.4. Commercial Operations. Lessee will not use or permit the Aircraft to be operated except: (a) in commercial operation for which Lessee (or Lessee’s sublessee/operator) is duly
19
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
authorized by the Laws of Governmental Entity having jurisdiction(s) to whose laws the operation of the Aircraft is subject; and (b) flights that are ancillary to the commercial flights referenced in Section 6.4(a), including ferry and maintenance flights and such flights required for the aircrew to maintain their currency.
6.5. Lawful Use. Lessee will not permit the Aircraft to be maintained, used, or operated in violation of any Law of any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction, or contrary to any Manufacturer’s operating manuals and instructions, or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license, registration, or AD relating to the Aircraft issued by any such Governmental Entity. Lessee will not cause or permit the Aircraft to proceed to, or remain at, any location which is then the subject of a prohibition order or sanctions (or any similar order or directive) by or under any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over Lessee (or Lessee’s sublessee or operator) or the Aircraft except in the case of a diversion required by Law or a Governmental Entity or due to weather, mechanical issues, or other safety-related reasons.
6.6. Freight Operations. Lessee will not use or permit the use of the Aircraft for the carriage of: (a) whole animals, living or dead, except in cargo compartments according to IATA regulations and except domestic pet animals carried in suitable containers to prevent the escape of any fluids and to ensure the welfare of the animal: or (b) acids, toxic chemicals, other corrosive materials, explosives, nuclear fuels, nuclear wastes, or any nuclear assemblies except in compliance with applicable Law.
6.7. Use Within Insurance Coverage. Lessee will not operate the Aircraft or allow the Aircraft to be operated: (a) within or into any geographic area unless the Aircraft is covered by insurance as required by the provisions of Section 11 during and with respect to its operations into that area; or (b) otherwise contrary to the terms or outside the coverage of such insurance as required by the provisions of Section 11.
6.8. Net Lease.
6.8.1. During the Term, except as otherwise provided by the terms of this Agreement, Lessee will bear all costs in connection with the possession, use, operation, maintenance, overhaul, repair, and insurance of the Aircraft.
6.8.2. During the Term, Lessee will provide and pay for (or cause to be provided and paid for) all crews and other personnel, fuel, lubricants, oil, and electric power consumed by and required for the operation of the Aircraft.
6.8.3. Lessee will promptly pay (or cause to be paid) all import/export fees (as applicable), navigation charges, route charges, and airport charges (including landing fees, departure fees, airport handling charges and related taxes) the nonpayment of which could result in a Lien upon the Aircraft or in the Aircraft being held or seized pending payment of such charges, except that Lessee’s obligation will be limited to amounts arising from and after the Delivery Date and on or before the Return Date.
6.9. Risk of Loss or Damage. Lessee will bear all risks of loss or damage to the Aircraft from any and all causes whatsoever from the Delivery until the Return. If the Aircraft is requisitioned
20
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
by any Governmental Entity during the Term, then, unless and until the Aircraft becomes a Total Loss: (a) the Term will continue and Lessee will continue to fulfill all its obligations under this Agreement; and (b) Lessee will, during the Term, be entitled to all requisition hire paid to Lessor or to Lessee on account of such requisition. For clarity, Lessor will not be liable to supply an aircraft, an engine, or any part if the Aircraft is lost or damaged or rendered unfit for use or grounded, hijacked, confiscated, seized, requisitioned, restrained, or appropriated unless arising when the Aircraft is subject to a Carrier Sublease, including any time during which the ATSA is in effect with respect to the Aircraft, in which case the provisions of the ATSA will control with respect to Lessor’s ultimate responsibility (including through one of Lessor’s Affiliates), if any, under the ATSA.
7. Maintenance and Modifications.
7.1. Maintenance of the Aircraft; ADs.
7.1.1. General. From and after any termination of the Carrier Sublease and until the Return of the Aircraft, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Lessee, at its own expense, will service, repair, maintain, overhaul, check or cause the same to be done to the Aircraft, in accordance with the Maintenance Program and in such operating condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times pursuant to the requirements of the applicable Aviation Authority.
7.1.2. AD Compliance. Lessee will have no responsibility for any of the costs associated with compliance with any AD as long as the Aircraft is subject to a Carrier Sublease. From and after any termination of a Carrier Sublease, Lessee will be responsible for the costs associated with compliance with ADs pursuant to the following subsections (a) to (e):
(a) Lessee will comply with all ADs affecting the Aircraft and requiring terminating action during the Term (and during the additional period, if any, set forth in the Return Condition Requirements (Appendix H)), without regard to any deferrals which are or might be granted. If an AD allows compliance in a manner other than terminating action, Lessee will have the right to elect any lawful method of compliance.
(b) If the cost of complying with an AD is less than or equal to $[*], Lessee will pay all of such cost. If the cost of such compliance is greater than $[*] (but only to the extent that such cost relates to work required to comply with an AD on a terminating action basis, and excluding work performed for any other purpose, such as compliance with ADs by means of repetitive inspections, recording compliance work in the Aircraft Documents, and all other maintenance), Lessee will pay the first $[*], and the balance (the “AD Shared Expenses”) will be paid initially by Lessee to the applicable Authorized Maintenance Provider, with Lessee being entitled to reimbursement from Lessor in an amount equal to the product of: (i) the amount of the AD Shared Expenses times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months during Term minus the number of months (rounded to the
21
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
nearest whole number of months) from the date of completion of the subject AD work to the Return Date, and the denominator of which is the number of months during Term or, at Lessee’s option, Lessee and Lessor will each pay to the Authorized Maintenance Provider their respective portion of the AD Shared Expenses.
(c) If the cost of compliance with an AD on a terminating action basis is equal to or greater than $[*], Lessee may not perform such terminating action unless Lessor consents in advance in writing. Should Lessee request such consent on the part of Lessor and Lessor fail or refuse to provide such consent in a timely fashion, then either: (i) Lessor will provide to Lessee an alternative, equivalent aircraft that is acceptable to Lessee, in its sole discretion, under the same terms and conditions as this Agreement, and at no additional cost to Lessee, for the remainder of the Term; or (ii) the Agreement will terminate and (1) Lessor will pay to Lessee any prepaid Basic Rent, (2) Lessee will be entitled to return the Aircraft to Lessor without complying with the Return Condition Requirements relating to (and only to) that portion of the Aircraft subject to the applicable AD (i.e., the Airframe, the applicable Engine or Engines, the landing gear or the APU) and (C) with respect to the portions of the Aircraft not subject to the AD, Lessor will assist Lessee in complying with the applicable Return Condition Requirements by pro-rating the costs of such compliance based upon a comparison of (x) the number of months between Delivery and the effective date of the AD and (y) the number of months between the effective date of the AD and the Expiration Date.
(d) Lessor’s obligation to contribute toward the payment of AD costs pursuant to Section 7.1.2 is subject to and contingent upon:
i. For AD costs subject to Section 7.1.2(c), Lessor will have consented to the completion of terminating action;
ii. No Lessee Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing;
iii. Lessor will have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that the work contemplated by such AD has been completed; and
iv. Lessor will have received true copies of the invoices and, unless Lessee requested that Lessor pay its portion of the AD Shared Expenses directly to the Authorized Maintenance Provider, paid receipts supporting the reported cost of such AD work.
(e) Lessor will make payment of its share of the AD Shared Expenses within 30 days of its receipt of all of the documentation reasonably required by Lessor pursuant to Section 7.1.2(d)iii and 7.1.2(d)iv hereof. Except during the occurrence of a Lessor Event of Default, Lessee will not offset the amount due from Lessor for its portion of the AD Shared Expenses against Rent or other amounts due to Lessor.
22
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
7.2. Maintenance of the Aircraft Documents.
7.2.1. From the Delivery until the Return, Lessee, at its own expense, will maintain and update (or will cause to be maintained and updated), in the English language, all Aircraft Documents created from and after the Delivery Date as required by applicable Laws and by the regulations of the applicable Aviation Authority. Lessee will at all times cause the Aircraft Documents to be stored at a location disclosed to and reasonably acceptable to Lessor, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.
7.2.2. When incorporating ADs, service bulletins, modifications, repairs, or any other engineering changes to the Aircraft, Lessee will revise (or cause to be revised) the customized documentation for the Aircraft in order to incorporate and reflect such ADs, service bulletins, modifications, or repairs, as applicable. These changes may be incorporated by methods such as external supplements, or other means acceptable to the applicable Aviation Authority for operational purposes.
7.3. Authorized Maintenance Provider. All maintenance on the Airframe, Engines and Parts will be performed by an Authorized Maintenance Provider.
7.4. Replacement of Parts. Except as otherwise provided herein, Lessee, at its own expense, will as soon as practicable replace (or cause to be replaced) all Parts that may from time to time be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft and that may become unserviceable, worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, or damaged beyond repair. In addition, in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul, or testing, Lessee may remove (or caused to be removed) any Part, except that Lessee will replace (or cause to be replaced) such Part as promptly as practicable. All replacement parts will be free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens, will be in good operating condition, and will be lawful for installation and use on the Aircraft under applicable Aviation Authority regulations and other applicable Law.
7.5. Title to Parts. All Parts at any time removed from the Aircraft will remain the property of Lessor, no matter where located, until such time as: (a) such Parts have been permanently replaced by parts that have been incorporated or reinstalled in or attached to the Aircraft and that meet the requirements for replacement parts specified in Section 7.4; (b) title thereto has passed to Lessor free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. Immediately upon the incorporation or installation in or attachment in or to the Aircraft of any replacement part as above provided, and without further act; (c) title to the removed Part has vested in Lessee, free and clear of all rights of Lessor and any Lessor’s Liens; and (d) such replacement part is subject to this Agreement and is deemed a Part of the Aircraft for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated and installed in or attached to the Aircraft.
7.6. Removal of Engines. Lessee will be entitled, so long as no Lessee Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to remove or permit the removal of any Engine from the Airframe and to install on the Airframe an engine, except that the removed Engine is, during the period of substitution, either being safely housed and sheltered or repaired or maintained in accordance with this Agreement, or is installed on an aircraft pursuant to Section 6.2 (and the provisions of
23
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
Sections 6.2.1(b) or 6.2.1(c), as applicable, concerning preservation of title will apply to the removed Engine); if:
7.6.1. Lessee maintains or causes to be maintained insurance in accordance with Section 11 in respect of the removed Engine at all times while it is removed from the Airframe (and, if required by Lessor, Lessee will furnish or cause to be furnished to Lessor waivers or acknowledgments by the insurers of the aircraft on which such removed Engine is installed); and
7.6.2. as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event on or before end of the Term, such engine is removed from the Airframe and the removed Engine is reinstalled on the Airframe (subject to the Replacement Engine provisions of Section 6.2.3).
7.7. Equipment Changes.
7.7.1. Except as expressly provided herein or as a result of an AD or service bulletin (mandatory or optional) or a requirement of the applicable Aviation Authority or the Manufacturer, the Aircraft will not be modified, altered, converted, or added to (an “Equipment Change”), except that, subject to Lessor’s prior approval in writing, (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and in compliance with any conditions reasonably imposed by Lessor, Lessee may, at Lessee’s own expense, make (or cause to be made) such Equipment Changes to the Aircraft as Lessee may deem desirable, so long as such Equipment Change does not result in a diminution in the value or utility of the Aircraft. All such Equipment Changes will be consistent with the requirements of the Aviation Authority.
7.7.2. Title to all Parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Aircraft on a permanent basis as the result of such Equipment Change will, without further act, vest in Lessor and will become subject to this Agreement, free of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, except that so long as no Lessee Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee may remove (or cause to be removed) any such Part if: (a) such Part is in addition to, and not in replacement of or in substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft at the time of Delivery or any part in replacement of or in substitution for any such original Part; (b) such Part is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Aircraft pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.1 hereof; and (c) such Part can be removed from the Aircraft without diminishing or impairing the value or airworthiness which the Aircraft would have had such Equipment Change not occurred. For clarity, all loose equipment owned by Lessee which is placed on board the Aircraft (and remains loose equipment) will remain owned by Lessee.
7.7.3. Upon the removal by Lessee of any such Part as above provided, title thereto will, without further act, vest in Lessee free and clear of all Lessor’s Liens and rights of Lessor and such part will no longer be deemed part of the Aircraft.

7.8.4. All information furnished by Lessee to Lessor concerning monetary amounts (whether in the Written Summaries or otherwise) will be denominated in Dollars.
7.9. Inspections.
7.9.1. Lessor may, but is not obligated to, once per any 12-month period, upon giving 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to Lessee of its intention to do so (or such shorter time period to the extent required by applicable Law), inspect the Aircraft (such inspection to be a general visual walk-around inspection without the opening of panels, bays, or doors) and a mutually agreed subset of the Aircraft Documents during normal business hours, provided that such inspection does not unreasonably interfere with Lessee’s (or Lessee’s sublessee’s/operator’s) operations, office personnel’s activities, or the performance of any maintenance and that the persons performing such inspection comply with all security requirements of the facility where the Aircraft is then located. All inspections performed by Lessor will be at its cost (except that, so long as no Lessee Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee will be responsible for the reasonable and documented cost of Lessor’s inspection).

Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
7.9.2. Lessee will reasonably assist any person designated by Lessor to conduct any inspection pursuant to this Section 7.9. Lessor will not incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making an inspection and no failure by Lessor to make such inspection will lessen any obligation of Lessee under this Agreement, including Lessee’s obligations under this Section 7. In addition, Lessee will permit one of Lessor’s technical representatives to be present at any heavy maintenance being conducted on the Aircraft subject to compliance with the maintenance facility’s security requirements and provided such presence does not interfere with or delay the performance and completion of such maintenance.

For purposes of this Section 8.2(e), Lessor will not be deemed to have failed to have filed timely reports or returns or to have timely paid any Taxes when due under Section 8.2(e)(i) or to have failed to have timely complied with the Certification Requirements under Section 8.2(e)(ii) when Lessee provided notification to Lessor less than 15 days in advance of any such filing, payment, or compliance deadline.

8.5. Payment of Tax. Any amount payable by a Party pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2 will be paid to the other Party or, if so directed by the other Party, directly to the relevant taxing authority, within 30 days after receipt by the paying Party of a written demand therefor from the other Party accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the Taxes that are the subject of and basis for such payment or indemnity, as applicable, and the computation of the amount so payable.

9.2. Other Liens. All Liens excepted above under Section 9.1.2, 9.1.4 and 9.1.5 will be cleared by Lessee in the ordinary course of business, but not later than the end of the Term.

Lessee’s duty to defend is independent of its duty to indemnify. Lessee’s obligations under this Section 10.1 are independent of all of its other obligations under this Agreement. Lessee will use counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor to defend each Claim, and Lessor will reasonably cooperate (at Lessee’s expense, as the case may be) in the defense. Lessee will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without Lessor’s prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. Subject to the foregoing, Lessor will have the additional right to participate at any time and at its own expense in any indemnification action or related settlement negotiations using counsel of its own choice.

11. Insurance.
11.1. Aviation Third Party Legal Liability Insurance. As of the Delivery Date and continuing for a period of one year following the end of the Term or, if earlier, until the next major Aircraft maintenance check, Lessee will carry at its expense (or will cause to be carried) with insurers of internationally recognized standing, aviation legal liability insurance in respect of the Aircraft in amounts not less than the Minimum Liability Coverage combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage each occurrence (and in the aggregate as respects aviation products/completed operations and third party liability war and allied perils), and subject to customary sub-limits for non-aviation coverages. Such insurance will include third party legal liability including passenger liability, liability war and allied perils, property damage liability(including cargo, and mail liability), premises liability, products/completed operations liability, and contractual liability insurance in the amounts set forth in Appendix B.

with respect to the Aircraft (hereinafter each an “Additional Insured”); (b) provide that in respect of the interests of any Additional Insured in such policies, the insurance will not be invalidated by any act or omission of Lessee (including misrepresentation and non-disclosure), except that the Additional Insured so protected has not caused, contributed to or knowingly condoned the said act or omission; (c) provide that insurers waive all rights of subrogation against the Additional Insureds; (d) provide that, if such insurance is canceled or allowed to lapse for any reason whatsoever, or if any material change is made in such insurance that adversely affects the interest of any Additional Insured, such cancellation, lapse or change will not be effective as to any Additional Insured for 30 days (10 days for nonpayment of premiums and seven days, or such other period as is then customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of any war and allied perils liability coverage) after the giving of written notice from such insurers or Lessee’s appointed insurance broker to Lessor and Lessor’s Lender; (e) be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance maintained by any Additional Insured; (f) provide a severability of interests provision applicable to each insured and Additional Insured under the policy such that all of the provisions of the insurance required under this Agreement, except the limits of liability, will operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured and Additional Insured; (g) waive any right of the insurers to any setoff, counterclaim or other deduction against the Additional Insureds; and (h) provide for worldwide coverage, subject to such limitations and exclusions as may be expressly set forth in the certificates of insurance delivered pursuant to Section 11.4 provided such limitations and exclusions are not applicable to the territories where the Aircraft is operated by Lessee, or as Lessor may otherwise agree in writing.

11.2.2. The hull war and allied perils insurances will be in accordance with Lloyd’s Aviation Underwriters Association Standard Policy Form LSW 555D unless otherwise approved by Lessor in writing. Lessee covenants that all policies and subsequent policies taken out in accordance with this Section 11.2 will: (a) be issued by insurance companies or underwriters of internationally recognized standing in the aviation industry; (b) be endorsed to name Lessor, Lessor’s Lender (if directed by Lessor), and Lessee as loss payees (each to the extent their interest may appear) (collectively, “Loss Payees”) to the extent of each of their interests in respect of hull claims that become payable on the basis of a total loss and will provide that any other loss will be settled (net of any relevant policy deductible) with such party(ies) as may be necessary to repair the Aircraft unless otherwise agreed in writing after consultation among the insurers, Lessor, Lessee, and Lessor’s Lender (it being agreed that where the loss is not expected to exceed $[*] and, unless Lessor has notified the insurers to the contrary, such loss will be settled with and paid to Lessee); (c) provide that, in respect of the interest of any Loss Payees in such policies, the insurance will not be invalidated by any act or omission, except that the Loss Payees so protected has not caused, contributed to or knowingly condoned the said act or omission; (d) provide that none of the Loss Payees, will have responsibility for the payment of premiums or any other amount payable under such policies; (e) provide that insurers waive all rights of subrogation as against the Loss Payees; (f) provide that, if such insurance is canceled or allowed to lapse for any reason whatsoever, or if any material change is made in such insurance which adversely affects the interest of a Loss Payee, such cancellation, lapse or change will not be effective as to any Loss Payee for 30 days (10 days for nonpayment of premiums and seven days, or such other period as is then customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of any hull war and allied perils coverage) after the giving of written notice from such insurers or Lessee’s appointed insurance broker to Lessor and Lessor’s Lender; (g) waive any right of the insurers to any setoff, counterclaim or other deduction against the Loss Payees; (h) provide for worldwide coverage, subject to such limitations and exclusions as may be set forth in the certificates of insurance delivered pursuant to Section 11.4 hereof provided such limitations and exclusions are not applicable to the territories where the Aircraft is operated (or caused to operated) by Lessee, or as Lessor may otherwise agree in writing; (i) contain a 50/50 claims funding clause in the form of Lloyd’s standard provision AVS103 in the event of a dispute as to which policy in respect of the hull insurance set forth in this Section 11.2 will pay in the event of a loss; and (j) have deductibles not greater than the maximum deductible amount set forth in Appendix B.

Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
11.2.3. All insurance coverage will be subject to Endorsement AVN67B (or a comparable endorsement).
11.2.4. For the purposes of this Section 11, the definition of Aircraft will not include the Aircraft Documents.
11.3. Default. If Lessee defaults in effecting, keeping or maintaining any insurance or if any insurance for any reason becomes void (in each case other than as a result if the acts or omissions of Carrier that is party to a Carrier Sublease), Lessor may (but without any obligation to do so and without prejudice to Lessor’s other rights and remedies under this Agreement) effect, keep up or maintain such insurance at the cost of Lessee and Lessee will promptly upon demand repay or cause to be repaid to Lessor all premiums and other moneys from time to time paid or payable by Lessor in respect of such insurance.
11.4. Certificates. Not less than five Business Days before the Delivery Date, unless otherwise approved by Lessor in writing, and promptly upon each renewal thereafter, Lessee will furnish to Lessor certificates of insurance written in English from an authorized representative of the insurers providing the insurance required under this Agreement and certificates of reinsurance from reinsurance brokers (together with a letter of undertaking from each of such representative and such reinsurance brokers stating that such insurance and reinsurance complies with the terms hereof) describing in detail the insurance and reinsurance carried and maintained on the Aircraft. Such certificates of insurance will be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor’s Lender. Failure of Lessee to furnish certificates of insurance or procure and maintain the insurance required herein or the failure of Lessor or Lessor’s Lender to request such certificates will not constitute a waiver of Lessee’s obligations under this Agreement.
11.5. Premiums. Lessee agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) the premiums (or installments thereof) as required by the terms of such policies.
11.6. Claims. After a Total Loss in relation to the Aircraft has occurred and so long as no Lessee Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee may pursue any and all claims against the insurers in respect of the insurance with respect to the Aircraft, subject to consultation with Lessor, except that no settlement or compromise of any such claim may be made without the approval of Lessor (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Should a Lessee Event of Default occur and be continuing and any claim be made under any of the insurance policies, Lessor will have full power to make, enforce, settle or compromise all claims with the insurers in respect of the insurance (other than the liability insurance) or for compensation and to xxx for, recover, receive and give discharge for all moneys payable by virtue thereof, to be held and applied in accordance with Section 11.2, provided all such power will be exercised by Lessor reasonably and in good faith and Lessee will be notified simultaneously of the exercise by Lessor of any such power. Lessee will irrevocably and unconditionally assign or cause to be assigned the insurance to Lessor (or, if requested by Lessor, to Lessor’s Lender) if such an assignment is advisable for the purpose of the preceding sentence. Lessee will do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary and provide or cause to be provided all documents, evidence and information to enable the assignee or loss payee referred to above to collect or recover any moneys due or to become due in respect of the insurance.
33

11.7. Application of Payments During Continuation of a Lessee Event of Default. Any amount referred to in Section 11.2 hereof which is payable to or retainable by Lessee will not be paid to or retained by Lessee if, at the time of such payment or retention, a Lessee Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (other than arising out of or relating to the acts or omissions of a Carrier under a Carrier Sublease), but will be held by or paid over to Lessor (or, as directed by Lender, to Lessor’s Lender) as security for the obligations of Lessee under this Agreement. Upon the earlier of: (a) such time as there will not be continuing any such Lessee Event of Default; or (b) the end of the Term, such amount will be paid to Lessee to the extent not previously applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
12. Assignment.
12.1. Assignment by Lessee. Lessee will not assign or transfer all or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lessor, which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, except that Lessee may assign this Agreement to an Affiliate or in connection with any merger, reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or any similar transaction without the consent of Lessor.
12.2. Assignment by Lessor.
12.2.1. Lessor may, at its own expense and without the prior consent of Lessee, assign or transfer all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate of Lessor upon providing prior written notice of such assignment to Lessee provided such assignment does not increase obligations of or costs incurred by Lessee following such assignment. Any other assignment by Lessor will be at its own expense and subject to the prior written consent of Lessee, with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. Upon: (a) any such assignment becoming effective; and (b) the assignee assuming all of Lessor’s obligations under this Agreement, Lessor will be released of any further obligations under this Agreement. Any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.2.1 will not affect the obligations of Lessor Guarantor.
12.2.2. After written notice from Lessor of any assignment or transfer of all or any of Lessor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and at Lessor’s expense, Lessee will, as soon as practicable, execute any agreements or other instruments that may be reasonably requested by Lessor in order to allow, give effect to, or perfect any assignment or transfer of Lessor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
12.2.3. In any instance where a transfer or assignment effected by Lessor is to more than one person, such transferees or assignees will select an agent who will act on behalf of all such transferees or assignees and with whom Lessee may deal exclusively, and notify Lessee of such agent.

41
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
16.2.2. Lessor may instruct Lessee to ferry the Aircraft (including the Aircraft Documents) to the Return Location, and to ground the Aircraft at such airport until all Lessee Events of Default have been cured, whereupon Lessee will promptly do so.

(i) serving notice of such termination on Lessee (in the case of a Lessee Event of Default that is not caused by an act or omission of a Carrier) and Lessor (in the case of a Lessor Event of Default) in writing in accordance with Section 20.7, specifying the occurrence giving rise to such Event of Default, which notice will cause this Agreement to terminate immediately (without any further act, service, notification, or proceeding being necessary), whereupon, in the case of a Lessee Event of Default that is not caused by an act or omission of a Carrier, Lessee will promptly return the Aircraft in compliance with the Return Condition Requirements to Lessor at the Return Location or at any airport in the continental United States specified by Lessor (and should Lessee fail to comply with the Return Condition Requirements, Lessor may do or cause to be done, at Lessee’s expense, whatever may be necessary to cause the Aircraft to so comply) and in the case of a Lessor Event of Default, Lessee will have the right to terminate this Agreement and require Lessor to take possession of the Aircraft at its then-current location; or

42
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
16.2.5. Whether or not Lessor or Lessee will have exercised, or will thereafter at any time exercise, any of its rights described in this Section 16.2 with respect to the Aircraft, and regardless of whether Lessor or Lessee will have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 16.2.4 hereof, Lessor, in the case of a Lessee Event of Default that is caused by other than an act or omission of a Carrier, will be entitled to: (a) recover from Lessee all past due and unpaid Rent and all other amounts owing under this Agreement; (b) declare as immediately due and payable all unpaid Basic Rent through the date of termination or other amounts owing under this Agreement; and (c) institute any and all legal and equitable actions required to recover such amounts and otherwise enforce its rights under this Agreement (subject to Lessor’s and Lessee’s respective obligation to perform all acts reasonably required to mitigate its damages).

(a) Lessee will provide notice to Lessor of its intent to proceed with a Lessor Default Acquisition, with such notice including the date selected by Lessee under Section 16.2.6(d).
(b) Lessor will execute an FAA Form 8050-2 Aircraft Xxxx of Sale transferring title to Lessee (or, at Lessee’s election, an Affiliate of Lessee) and position an original signed but undated copy of same with Special FAA Counsel within two Business Days of receipt of Lessee’s notice under Section 16.2.6(a).
(c) Lessee will transfer the Lessor Default Acquisition Payment to Special FAA Counsel on or prior to the date selected by Lessee under Section 16.2.6(d).
(d) On a date selected by Lessee in its sole discretion, the Parties will instruct FAA Special Counsel to file the FAA xxxx of sale provided by Lessor with the FAA and release the Lessor Default Acquisition Payment (less any amounts owed to Special FAA Counsel with respect to the closing of the Lessor Default Acquisition, which amounts will be retained by Special FAA Counsel) to Lessor, and, upon completion of same, this Lease will terminate with neither Party having any further obligation to the other under this Lease after such Termination.
(e) The transfer of title to the Aircraft from Lessor to Lessee will be “as-is”, “where-is” but free of Lessor’s Liens.
(f) Lessor will, at its sole cost, take any and all steps reasonably requested by Lessee to document and register the transfer of title (including, registrations with the International Registry) and assign or transfer any transferrable warranties with respect to the Aircraft.
43
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
(g) The Lessor Default Acquisition Payment will be the then-current Fair Market Value of the Aircraft minus any then-outstanding amounts owed by Lessor to Lessee under this Agreement, including amounts accruing or expended by Lessee as a result of the Lessor Event of Default (the “Lessor Default Acquisition Payment”). The “Fair Market Value” of the Aircraft will be determined in accordance with the following procedure: Lessee will deliver to Lessor a calculation (“Lessee’s Calculation”) of such fair market value determined by Lessee in good faith based upon an independent third party valuation performed by a nationally recognized appraiser with significant experience with transport category aircraft (“Lessee’s Appraiser”). Upon Lessor’s written acceptance of Lessee’s Calculation, or if Lessor fails to object to Lessee’s Calculation within 5 days after receipt thereof, Lessee’s Calculation will become the Fair Market Value of the Aircraft. If Lessor objects to Lessee’s Calculation, Lessor and Lessee will select a mutually agreed second appraiser (“Joint Appraiser”) of nationally recognized standing and significant experience with transport category aircraft to conduct an independent valuation of the Aircraft (“Joint Appraiser’s Calculation”), whereupon the average of Lessee’s Calculation and the Joint Appraiser’s Calculation will become the Fair Market Value of the Aircraft. Lessor will bear the cost of its own appraiser and the reasonable and documented costs of Lessee’s Appraiser and, as applicable, the Joint Appraiser.
16.2.7. In the event of a Lessee Event of Default that is not caused by an act or omission of a Carrier, in addition to the foregoing remedies and without limiting any remedies Lessor may have at law or in equity, Lessor may lease, sell or otherwise dispose of the Aircraft as Lessor in its sole discretion may determine.
16.2.8. Notwithstanding anything which is or may be to the contrary in this Section 16.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the occurrence of any Lessee Event of Default, [*]
16.3. No Waiver. No implied waiver by Lessor of a Lessee Event of Default or failure or delay of Lessor in exercising any right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof and no implied waiver by Lessee of a Lessor Event of Default or failure or delay of Lessee in exercising any right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof. The acceptance by Lessor of partial payments from Lessee or any third party, whether made before or after a termination pursuant to Section 16.2, will not operate as waiver by Lessor of a Lessee Event of Default and will not be construed as an intent to continue the contractual relationship or as a reinstatement of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 16 will be construed to permit Lessor to obtain a duplicate recovery of any element of damages to which Lessor is entitled. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of a Lessee Default or Lessee Event of Default or by Lessee of a Lessor Event of Default will in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Lessee Default or Lessee Event of Default, or Lessor Default or Lessor Event of Default, respectively.
16.4. Costs and Expenses. Lessee or Lessor, as applicable, agrees to pay to Lessor or Lessee, as applicable, upon demand, all reasonable and documented costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorney’s fees, legal fees and expenses) incurred by Lessor
44
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
or Lessee, as applicable, in exercising its rights or remedies under this Agreement following a Lessee Event of Default or Lessor Event of Default, respectively.
17. Return of Aircraft.
17.1. Return, Place and Time of Return. Lessee will at its own expense return (or cause to be returned) the Aircraft by delivering the same to Lessor at the Return Location, or such other location as may be mutually agreed by the Parties, on the Expiration Date or promptly upon the earlier Termination, except where Termination occurs pursuant to Section 19 as a result of a Total Loss.
17.2. Aircraft Return Condition Requirements. The Aircraft upon the Return to Lessor will satisfy all of the Return Condition Requirements described in Section 18.
17.3. Return Receipt. Upon return of the Aircraft in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Lessor and Lessee will execute a Return Receipt. Lessee and Lessor will additionally execute such additional documents as the other Party may reasonably require to evidence the termination of this Agreement.
17.4. Specific Performance. Timely return of the Aircraft on the Return Date and at the Return Location is of the essence of this Agreement and if the Aircraft is not returned on the Return Date and at the Return Location (other than as a result of a force majeure or an act or omission by Lessor or an Affiliate of Lessor), Lessor may obtain a court order requiring Lessee to immediately return the Aircraft at the Return Location.
17.5. Lessee’s Obligations Continue.
17.5.1. In the event the Return of the Aircraft is not effected at the time and location specified herein for any cause, then the obligations of Lessee under this Agreement will continue until the Aircraft is actually returned to Lessor. In particular (except to the extent that a delay in the Return of the Aircraft is attributable to acts or a failure to act on the part of Lessor or an Affiliate of Lessor), until Lessee has complied with the Return Condition Requirements, Lessee will continue to pay Rent to Lessor, will continue to insure the Aircraft pursuant to Section 11 and will be responsible for all storage fees for the Aircraft (with such storage being effected pursuant to all requirements of the Maintenance Program).
17.5.2. Neither the continued performance by Lessee of any of its obligations after the end of the Term nor the acceptance by Lessor of payments of Basic Rent or otherwise made by Lessee will be considered a renewal of the terms of this Agreement or a waiver of any right of Lessor, and Lessee will not be entitled to the quiet enjoyment of the Aircraft or any part thereof.
18. Return Condition Requirements. Lessee will have no responsibility under this Section 18 for the performance of or any of the costs associated with compliance with any of the Return Condition Requirements, as long the Aircraft is subject to a Carrier Sublease on the Return Date. For clarity, in the event of a Carrier Sublease Transition: (a) Lessee will be responsible for the costs
45
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
associated with compliance with the Return Condition Requirements; and (b) the Aircraft, at the time of the Return, will satisfy all of the Return Condition Requirements in accordance with Sections 18.1 through 18.5.
18.1. Condition. On the Return Date, the Aircraft and the Aircraft Documents will be in the condition required by Appendix H hereto (the “Return Condition Requirements”).
18.2. Final Inspection. On or before 10 days prior to the Return Date, Lessee will make the Aircraft available to Lessor for inspection in order to verify that the condition of the Aircraft complies with the requirements set forth in the Return Condition Requirements (the “Final Inspection”). Such Final Inspection will take place at the Return Location and the scope of the Inspection will be as is customary in the industry to reasonably allow Lessor to determine the compliance of the Aircraft with the Return Condition Requirements. Lessee, at its cost, will promptly correct any discrepancies under the Return Condition Requirements observed during the Final Inspection and communicated by Lessor to Lessee.
18.3. Check Flight. Promptly after completion of the corrections, if any, required under Section 18.2, and at the option of Lessor, a check flight (of up to [*]) based on Manufacturer’s Change of Operator Demonstration Profile flight program will be conducted by Lessee for the purpose of demonstrating to Lessor the compliance of the Aircraft with the provisions of this Section 18. All costs of such check flight will be paid by Lessee, including the cost of fuel, flight crew, insurance, and any airport fees. Lessor’s representatives (up to three) may participate in the test flight as observers (but will be responsible for their own expenses). For clarity, Lessee will bear all risks of loss or damage to the Aircraft as described in Section 6.9, except to the extent any risk of loss or damage is caused solely and directly by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or its representatives. All pilot-reported discrepancies and all discrepancies under the Return Condition Requirements that are identified by Lessor during the check flight will be corrected by Lessee at its expense. There will be no deferred items on the Aircraft except as permitted by the Aviation Authority having jurisdiction over the Aircraft. If the Aircraft is determined to be not in conformity with the Delivery Condition Requirements, the check flight will be repeated as necessary in accordance with the provisions of Section 18.3 and the flight time limitation will be waived by Lessee.
18.4. Conditions Cumulative. None of the Return Condition Requirements is intended to be exclusive, but each will be cumulative and in addition to any other condition and requirement under this Agreement.
18.5. Financial Adjustments. To the extent that either Lessee or Lessor is allowed or is required to make financial adjustment payments at Return in light of the Aircraft and its Engines either failing to satisfy or exceeding the Return Condition Requirements, the amount of such payments will be determined as specified in Appendix H hereto.
18.6. Painting. Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 18.1 through 18.5, and without regard to whether the Aircraft is subject to the Return Condition Requirements, Lessee will be responsible for the costs incurred in repainting the Aircraft in a white tail livery (to include the entire fuselage, empennage, landing gear doors, and engines cowlings) in conjunction with the Termination
46

or Expiration of this Agreement. Should Lessor request that the Aircraft be painted at Return in any other color scheme, Lessee will cooperate in effecting such painting, but Lessee will be financially responsible only for such white tail livery.
19. Total Loss.
19.1. Total Loss of the Aircraft.
19.1.1. If the Aircraft suffers a Total Loss prior to the Return Date, Lessee: (a) will notify Lessor of such Total Loss within three days after its occurrence; and (b) will pay the Agreed Value to Lessor (or cause the insurers to make such payment, with any deductible being the responsibility of Lessee) within 90 days after the occurrence of the Total Loss. This Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (i) receipt of the Agreed Value by Lessor or (ii) the receipt by Lessor of written confirmation from the insurer of the Aircraft to the effect that such insurer will pay to Lessor the Agreed Value. Lessor will transfer title to the remains of the Aircraft to the insurers or to Lessee, as appropriate under the insurance policies required by Section 11.
19.1.2. If the Aircraft suffers a Total Loss prior to Delivery to Lessee, this Agreement will terminate immediately. Any termination under this Section 19.1.2 will discharge all obligations and liabilities of the Parties, except that Lessee will be entitled to a return of any prepaid Rent and any other monies prepaid to Lessor pursuant hereto. All such returns will be made by Lessor to Lessee within five Business Days after Lessor’s receipt of a written determination of a Total Loss.
19.2. Engine Total Loss. Upon a Total Loss of an Engine not then installed on the Aircraft or a Total Loss of an Engine installed on the Aircraft not involving a Total Loss of the Aircraft, Lessee will give Lessor prompt notice thereof, and Lessee will replace such Engine as soon as reasonably possible by duly conveying to Lessor and causing to become subject to this Agreement as a replacement for such Engine, title to another engine, which engine will be free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, and will be the same model as the Engines (or an improved model of the same manufacturer suitable for installation and use on the Airframe) and will have a value and utility at least equal to, and be in at least as good operating condition as the Engine which sustained such Total Loss, assuming such Engine was in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to such Total Loss; and Lessor will transfer to Lessee, free and clear of all rights of Lessor and all Lessor’s Liens (but otherwise without recourse or warranty), all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in such replaced Engine. Such replacement engine after approval and acceptance by Lessor, will be deemed an “Engine.” Lessee agrees to take such action as Lessor may reasonably request in order that title to any such replacement Engine will be duly and properly vested in Lessor and leased under this Agreement to the same extent as the Engine replaced thereby. Lessee’s obligation to pay Rent will continue in full force and effect, but Lessee will be entitled to retain or to be reimbursed by Lessor the amount of insurance or condemnation proceeds, if any, received by Lessor with respect to such replaced Engine.
19.3. Surviving Engine. If a Total Loss of the Airframe occurs and any Engine or Engines (a “Surviving Engine”) has not become a Total Loss, Lessor, at the request of Lessee, will, subject
47
Those portions of this Agreement marked with an [*] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the SEC.
to any applicable insurance policy which provides to the contrary, transfer to Lessee free and clear of all rights of Lessor and all Lessor’s Liens (but otherwise without recourse or warranty), all of Lessor’s right, title and interest, if any, in and to any such Surviving Engine; as long as, prior to transferring such right, title and interest in such Surviving Engine, Lessor will have received either: (a) the Agreed Value of the Aircraft; or (b) written confirmation from the insurer of the Aircraft to the effect that such insurer will pay to Lessor the Agreed Value of the Aircraft.
20. Miscellaneous.
20.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the NDA, the ATSA and any Carrier Sublease, as applicable, constitute the entire agreement between Lessor and Lessee with respect to the Aircraft and supersedes any and all previous understandings, commitments, agreements or representations whatsoever, whether oral or written, including any and all terms sheets, letters of intent or similar documents.
20.2. Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, suspended, superseded or otherwise modified except by a written instrument, expressly identifying the modifications made and signed by the authorized representative of both of the Parties.

20.11. Lessee’s Early Termination Rights.
20.11.1. General Right of Termination. Lessee will have a one-time only right to terminate this Agreement, in its sole and absolute discretion and with or without cause, on the date [*] months after the Delivery Date (the “Discretionary Termination Effective Date”). Lessee may exercise this right by providing written notice of such intent to terminate (pursuant to the notice requirements of Section 20.7 hereof) to Lessor at least [*] days prior to the Discretionary Termination Effective Date, except that if Lessee does not provide such notice at least [*] days prior to the Discretionary Termination Effective Date, the resulting Termination will not become effective until [*] days after the date of such notice.
