5. PAYMENTS
5.1 [Intentionally Omitted].
5.2 Rental Periods : The Term will be divided into Rental Periods. The first
Rental Period (the "Interim Period") will commence on the Commencement
Date and end on October 28, 1999, and each subsequent Rental Period will
commence on the date succeeding the last day of the previous Rental
Period. Each Rental Period will end on the date immediately preceding the
numerically corresponding day in the next month except that:
(a) if there is no such numerically corresponding day in that month, it will
end on the last day of that month;

commences.
5.3 Rent:

each Rent Date. Payment must be initiated adequately in advance of the
Rent Date to ensure that Lessor receives credit for the payment on the
Rent Date.
(b) Amount: The Rent payable in respect of all Rental Periods commencing on or
after the Commencement Date will be equal to the Rent Amount, except that
no Rent shall be due with
-18-
respect to the Interim Period, which has been paid prior to the

(c) [Intentionally Omitted].
5.4 [Intentionally Omitted].
5.5 Payments : All payments by Lessee to Lessor under this Agreement will be
made for value on the due date in Dollars and in immediately available
funds by wire transfer to The Provident Bank, Cincinnati, Ohio, ABA No.
000000000, Account No. 215-16510, Reference: Aloha Airlines N808AL, or to
such other account in the United States as Lessor may advise Lessee in
writing.
5.6 Gross-up :
(a) All payments by Lessor under or in connection with this Agreement will be
made without set-off counterclaim, free and clear of and without deduction
for or on account of all Taxes (other than Lessor Taxes);
(b) All Taxes (other than Lessor Taxes) in respect of payments under this
Agreement shall be for the account of and will be paid by Lessee for its
own account prior to the date on which penalties apply; if requested by
Lessee, Lessor shall prepare and timely file all necessary tax returns and
Lessee shall either furnish the funds to Lessor for Lessor to pay such
Taxes or Lessee shall pay such Taxes for the account of Lessor;
(c) If Lessee is compelled by law to make payment subject to any Tax (other
than Lessor Taxes) and Lessor does not actually receive for its own
benefit on the due date a net amount equal to the full amount provided for
under this Agreement, Lessee will pay all necessary additional amounts to
ensure receipt by Lessor of the full amount so provided for.
5.7 Taxation : Lessee will on demand pay and indemnify Lessor against all
Taxes (other than Lessor Taxes) levied or imposed against or upon Lessor
or Lessee and relating to or attributable to Lessee, this Agreement or the
Aircraft directly or indirectly in connection with the importation,
exportation, registration, ownership, leasing, sub-leasing, delivery,
possession, use, operation, repair, maintenance, overhaul, transportation,
landing, storage, presence or redelivery of the Aircraft or any part
thereof or any rent, receipts, insurance proceeds, income or other amounts
arising therefrom.
If Lessor shall realize any Tax savings (by way of refund, deduction,
credit or otherwise) in respect of any amount with respect to which Lessee
has made an indemnity payment under this Agreement, and such Tax savings
shall not have been taken into account previously in calculating any
indemnity payment by Lessee, then Lessor shall, within 30 days after
realizing such Tax savings, pay to Lessee the amount of such Tax savings
(together with, in the case of a refund, any interest received thereon)
plus the amount of any Tax savings realized by Lessor as a result of any
such payment pursuant to this sentence, provided, however, that Lessor
shall not be obligated to make any payment pursuant to this sentence to
the extent that the amount of any Tax savings for which such payment is to
be made (other than Tax savings realized as a result of such
-19-
payment) would exceed the aggregate amount of all prior payments made by
Lessee to, on behalf of, or as indemnification of Lessor under this
Agreement for Taxes less the amount of all prior payments pursuant to this
sentence for such Tax savings. It is intended that Lessor shall retain a
net tax benefit in respect of any amount with respect to which Lessee has
made an indemnity payment under this Agreement only if Lessee shall first
have been reimbursed for all payments made or withheld by it for Taxes
under this Agreement.
5.8 Value Added Tax:
(a) For the purposes of this sub-clause:
(i) "VAT" means value added tax and any sales or turnover tax, imposition
or levy of a like nature (other than Lessor Taxes);
(ii) "supply" includes anything on which VAT is chargeable;
(b) Lessee will pay to Lessor the amount of any VAT chargeable in respect of
any supply for VAT purposes under this Agreement;
(c) Each amount stated as payable by Lessee under this Agreement is exclusive
of VAT (if any) and is accordingly to be construed as a reference to that
amount plus any VAT in respect of it.
5.9 Information : If Lessee is required by any applicable law, or by any third
party, to deliver any report or return in connection with any Taxes,
Lessee will complete the same in a manner satisfactory to Lessor and in
particular will state therein that Lessee is exclusively responsible for
the use and operation of the Aircraft and for any Taxes arising therefrom,
and Lessee will, on request supply a copy of the report or return to
Lessor.
5.10 Taxation of Indemnity Payments :
(a) If and to the extent that any sums payable to Lessor by Lessee under this
Agreement by way of indemnity are insufficient, by reason of any Taxes
(other than Lessor Taxes) payable in respect to those sums, for Lessor,
except with respect to Lessor Taxes, to discharge the corresponding
liability to the relevant third party (including any taxation authority),
or to reimburse Lessor for the cost incurred by it to a third party
(including any taxation authority) Lessee will pay to Lessor such sum as
will after the tax liability has been fully satisfied leave Lessor with
the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence
of that liability together with interest on the amount of the deficit at
the rate of interest stated in Clause 5.11 in respect of the period
commencing on the date on which the payment of taxation is finally due
until payment by Lessee (both before and after judgment);
(b) If and to the extent that any sums constituting (directly or indirectly)
an indemnity to Lessor but paid by Lessee to any person other than Lessor
are treated as taxable in the hands of Lessor, Lessee will pay to Lessor
such sum as will after the tax liability (except tax liability for Lessor
Taxes) has been fully satisfied indemnify Lessor to the same extent as it
would have been
-20-
indemnified in the absence of such liability together with interest on the
amount payable by Lessee under this sub-clause at the rate of interest
stated in Clause 5.11 in respect of the period commencing on the date on
which the payment of taxation is finally due until payment by Lessee (both
before and after judgment).
5.11 Default Interest : If Lessee fails to pay any amount payable under this
Agreement on the due date, Lessee will pay on demand from time to time to
Lessor interest (both before and after judgment) on that amount, from the
due date to the date of payment in full by Lessee to Lessor, at the rate
calculated by Lessor to be one month Dollar LIBOR plus 300 basis points.
All such interest will be compounded monthly and calculated on the basis
of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year.
5.12 Contest : If Lessee disputes the payment of any Taxes payable by Lessor
for which Lessee is responsible under this Agreement, Lessor will take
such action as Lessee may reasonably request at Lessee's expenses to
contest that payment but will not be obliged to take any such action:
(a) which Lessor considers in its reasonable discretion may prejudice it,
unless Lessee shall have provided security reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor to cover the liability for Taxes and the expense of the contest; or
(b) which Lessor reasonably considers does not have a reasonable prospect of
success; or
(c) for which Lessee has not made adequate provision to the reasonable
satisfaction of Lessor in respect of the expense concerned.
5.13 Absolute : Lessee's obligations under this Agreement are absolute and
unconditional irrespective of any contingency whatsoever including (but
not limited to):
(a) any right of set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which either party to this Agreement may have against the other;
(b) any unavailability of the Aircraft for any reason, including, but not
limited to, a requisition of the Aircraft or any prohibition or
interruption of or interference with or other restriction against Lessee's
use, operation or possession of the Aircraft;
(c) any lack or invalidity of title or any other defect in title,
airworthiness, merchantability, fitness for any purpose, condition,
design, or operation of any kind or nature of the Aircraft for any
particular use or trade, or for registration or documentation under the
laws of any relevant jurisdiction, or any Event of Loss in respect of or
any damage to the Aircraft;
(d) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of
debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceedings by or against Lessor
or Lessee;
(e) any invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization of, or
other defect in, this Agreement;
-21-
(f) any other cause which but for this provision would or might otherwise have
the effect of terminating or in any way affecting any obligation of Lessee
under this Agreement.
The provisions of this Clause 5.13 shall not limit Lessee's right to take
such legal action as Lessee shall deem appropriate as a consequence of the
breach by Lessor of its obligations to Lessee under this Agreement.
5.14 [Intentionally Omitted].
6. MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTIES
6.1 Assignment : Notwithstanding this Agreement, Lessor will remain entitled
to the benefit of each warranty, express or implied, with respect to the
Aircraft, any Engine or Part so far as concerns any manufacturer, vendor,
subcontractor or supplier. Except to the extent Lessor otherwise directs,
Lessor hereby authorizes Lessee to pursue any claim thereunder in relation
to defects affecting the Aircraft, any Engine or Part and, if Lessee
decides to pursue such claim, Lessee agrees diligently to pursue any such
claim which arises at its own cost. Lessee will use reasonable efforts to
notify Lessor promptly upon becoming aware of any such claim.
6.2 Proceeds: Except to the extent Lessor otherwise agrees in a particular
case, all proceeds of any such claim will be paid directly to Lessor but
if and to the extent that such proceeds relate:
(a) to defects affecting the Aircraft which Lessee has rectified; or

during the Term; or
(c) the costs incurred by Lessee in pursuing such claim; and
provided no Default has occurred and is continuing the proceeds will be
paid to Lessee by Lessor but in the case of (a) only on receipt of
evidence satisfactory to Lessor that Lessee has rectified the relevant
defect.
6.3 Parts: Except to the extent Lessor otherwise agrees in a particular
case, Lessee will ensure that all engines, components, furnishings or
equipment provided by the manufacturer, vendor, subcontractor or supplier
in replacement of a defective Engine or Part pursuant to the terms of any
warranty will be installed promptly by Lessee and that title thereto free
of Security Interests vests in Lessor. On installation those items will be
deemed to be an Engine or part as applicable.
6.4 Agreement: To the extent any warranties relating to the Aircraft are made
available under an agreement between any manufacturer, vendor,
subcontractor or supplier and Lessee, this Clause 6 is subject to that
agreement. However Lessee will:
(a) pay the proceeds of any claim thereunder to Lessor to be applied pursuant
to Clause 6.2 and pending such payment will hold the claim and the
proceeds in trust for Lessor;
-22-
(b) take all such steps as are necessary at the end of the Term to ensure the
benefit of any of those warranties which have vested in Lessee (to the
extent that they are assignable) which have not expired are vested in
Lessor.

operation thereof without interference, hindrance or interruption by

Lessee, Lessor will pay to Lessee the amount of any Rent received in
respect of any period falling after the date of redelivery of the Aircraft
or payment of the Agreed Value, as the case may be.
7.3 Fixed Place of Business : During the Term, Lessor shall not establish a
fixed place of business in the State of Hawaii without the prior written
consent of Lessee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed
if such establishment will not have the effect of increasing Lessee's
obligations under this Agreement or, if such establishment does so
increase Lessee's obligations under this Agreement, if Lessor and Lessee
shall have entered into alternative substitute arrangements having the
same substantial effect as this Agreement but which avoid such increase in
such obligations).

the insurances in excess of the Damage Notification Threshold and details
of any negotiations with the insurance brokers over any such claim.

adequate reserves have been provided by Lessee and non-payment of which
does not give rise to any material likelihood of the Aircraft or any
interest therein being sold, forfeited or otherwise lost or of criminal
liability on the part of Lessor or any of the Indemnitees.

(i) following any change or proposed change in the ownership, lien in
favor of Lender or financing of the Aircraft; or
(ii) following any modification of the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or
the permanent replacement of any Engine or Part in accordance with this
Agreement, so as to ensure that the rights of Lessor as lessor of and
holder of title to the Aircraft and under this Agreement and the rights of

Aircraft, any Engine or Part having a compliance date during the Term or
within 180 days after the Expiry Date and which are required by the FAA;
If any of the foregoing (each a "Relevant Item") is issued by the FAA,
Lessor shall, if Lessee shall have performed modification or terminating
action with regard to the same or shall have caused such modification or
terminating action with regard to the same to be performed, in respect of
any individual item of the same, on receipt by Lessor of evidence of
payment and completion of the Relevant Item, reimburse Lessee with an
amount equal to the solution to the following formulas:
(C-$50,000) X (I- (RT/60))
Where:
C = the total cost of the Relevant Item;
RT = the number of months remaining in the Tenn when the Relevant Item is
completed; and
60 = the assumed 5 year useful life of the Relevant Item;
provided, however, Lessor's obligation to reimburse Lessee pursuant
to this Clause 8.11 (e) shall not exceed $100,000 in the aggregate.
(f) comply with all applicable laws and the regulations of the Air Authority
and other aviation authorities with jurisdiction over Lessee or the
Aircraft, any Engine or Part regardless of upon whom such requirements are
imposed and which related to the maintenance, condition, use or operation
of the Aircraft or require any modification or alteration to the Aircraft,
any Engine or Part;
(g) maintain in good standing a current certificate of airworthiness (in the

8.12 Removal of Engine and Parts : Lessee will ensure that no Engine or Part
installed on the Aircraft is at any time removed from the Aircraft other
than:
(a) if replaced as expressly permitted by this Agreement; or
(b) if the removal is of an obsolete item and is in accordance with the Agreed
Maintenance Program; or
(c) (i) during the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing, overhauling or
testing that Engine or the Aircraft, as the case may be; or
(ii) as part of a normal engine or part rotation Program; or
(iii) for the purpose of making such modifications to the Engine or the
Aircraft, as the case may be, as are permitted under this Agreement; and
then in each case only if it is reinstalled or replaced by an engine or
part complying with Clause 8.13(a) as soon as practicable and in any event
no later than the Expiry Date.
8.13 Installation of Engines and Parts : Lessee will:
(a) ensure that, except as permitted by this Agreement, no engine or part is
installed on the Aircraft unless:
(i) in the case of an engine, it (x) is an engine of the same model as, or
an improved or advanced version of the Engine it replaces; (y) is in the
same or better operating condition, has substantially similar hours
available until the next scheduled checks, inspections, overhauls and shop
visits (provided, however, that, on the Expiry Date, Lessee may make the
financial adjustments referred to in Clause 12.8 in lieu of complying with
this sub-paragraph (y)); and (z) has the same or greater value and utility
as the replaced Engine;
(ii) in the case of a part, it is in as good operating condition, has
substantially similar hours available until the next scheduled checks,
inspections, overhauls and shop visits, is of the same or a more advanced
make and model and is of the same interchangeable modification status as
the replaced Part;
(iii) in each case, it has become and remains the property of Lessor free
from Security interests and on installation of the Aircraft will without
further act be subject to this Agreement
-31-
and the Mortgage;
(iv) in each case, Lessee has full details as to its source and
maintenance records; and
(v) Lessee complies with all applicable provisions of the Mortgage;
(b) If no Default has occurred which is continuing, be entitled to install any
engine or part on the Aircraft by way of replacement notwithstanding
Clause 8.13(a) if
(i) there is not available to Lessee at the time and in the place that
that engine or part is required to be installed on the Aircraft, a
replacement engine or, as the case may be, part complying with the
requirements of Clause 8.13(a);
(ii) it would result in an unreasonable disruption of the operation of the
Aircraft and/or the business of Lessee to ground the Aircraft until an
engine or part, as the case may be, complying with Clause 8.13 (a) becomes
available for installation on the Aircraft; and
(iii) as soon as practicable after installation of the same on the
Aircraft but, in any event, no later than the Expiry Date, Lessee removes
any such engine or part and replaces it with the Engine or Part replaced
by it or by an engine or part, as the case may be, complying with Clause
8.13(a).
Where, pursuant to this sub-clause (b), an engine or part is
installed on the Aircraft, Lessor shall not be entitled to any ownership
or Security Interest in such engine or part.
(c) If no Default has occurred which is continuing, the Lessee will be
entitled to install Lessee Installed Seats on the Airframe by way of
replacement notwithstanding Clause 8.13(a)(iii) so long as:
(i) the terms of any lease, conditional sale agreement or security agreement,
as the case may be, covering such Lessee Installed Seats will not have the
effect of prejudicing the title and interest of the Lessor in and to the
Aircraft (including its Engines and Parts) or the interest of the Lender
in respect thereof under the Mortgage;
(ii) the secured party, lessor or conditional vendor, as the case may be, of
such Lessee Installed Seats has confirmed and acknowledged in writing
(which such confirmation and acknowledgment may be contained in the lease,
conditional sale agreement or security agreement) to the Lessor and the
Lender, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessor, that it will
recognize the respective rights, title and interest of the Lessor and the
Lender in and to the Aircraft (including its Engines and Parts) and that
it will not seek to exercise any rights whatever in relation thereto; and
(iii) before the Expiry Date the Lessee removes the Lessee Installed Seats and
replaces them with the seats owned by them or by other seats, in either
case complying with Clause 8.13(a).
-32-
8.14 Non-Installed Engines and Parts: Lessee will:
(a) ensure that any Engine or Part which is not installed on the Aircraft (or
any other aircraft as permitted by this Agreement) is, except as expressly
permitted by this Agreement, properly and safely stored, and kept free
from Security Interests;
(b) on request notify Lessor if any Engine has been removed from the Aircraft
and, from time to time, on request procure that any person to whom
possession of an Engine is given acknowledges in writing to Lessor, in
form and substance satisfactory to Lessor, that it will respect the
interests of Lessor as lessor and Lender as mortgagee and secured party
and will not seek to exercise any rights whatsoever in relation to it;
(c) (notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this sub-clause), be
permitted, if no Default has occurred and is continuing, to install any
Engine or Part on an aircraft, or in the case of a Part, an engine:
(i) owned and operated by Lessee free from Security Interests; or
(ii) leased or hired to Lessee pursuant to a lease or conditional sale
agreement on a long-term basis and on terms whereby Lessee has full
operational control of that aircraft or engine; or
(iii) acquired by Lessee and/or financed or refinanced, and operated by
Lessee, on terms that ownership of that aircraft or engine, as the case
may be, pursuant to a lease or conditional sale agreement, or a
Security Interest therein, is vested in or held by any other person;
provided that in the case of (ii) and (iii):
(1) the terms of any such lease, conditional sale agreement or Security
Interest will not have the effect of prejudicing the interests of Lender
as mortgagee and secured party or Lessor as holder of title and lessor of
that Engine or Part and lessor of that Engine or Part or the interests of
Lender in respect thereof under the Lease Assignment; and
(2) if requested by Lessor, the lessor under such lease, the seller under
such conditional sale agreement or the holder of such Security Interest,
as the case may be, has confirmed and acknowledged in writing to Lessor,
in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor, that it will respect the
interest of Lessor as owner and lessor and Lender as mortgagee and secured
party of that Engine or Part and that it will not seek to exercise any
rights whatsoever in relation thereto.
8.15 Pooling of Engines and Parts : Lessee will not enter into nor permit
any pooling agreement or arrangement in respect of an Engine or Part
without the prior written consent of Lessor.
8.16 Equipment Changes :
-33-
(a) Lessee will not make any modification or addition to the Aircraft (each an
"Equipment Change"), except for an Equipment Change which:
(i) is expressly permitted by this Agreement, or
(ii) which does not diminish the value, utility, condition, or
airworthiness of the Aircraft;
(b) So long as a Default has not occurred and is continuing, Lessee may remove
any Equipment Change if it can be removed from the Aircraft without
diminishing or impairing the value, utility, condition or airworthiness of
the Aircraft.
8.17 Title :
(a) Except as provided in Part 1 of Schedule 1 with respect to Windshear, TCAS
and 11 Parameter FDR equipment, title to all Engines and Parts installed
on the Aircraft whether by way of replacement, as the result of an
Equipment Change or otherwise (except those installed pursuant to Clause
8.13(b) or 8.13(c)) will on installation, without further act, vest in
Lessor subject to this Agreement and the Mortgage free and clear of all
Security Interests. Lessee will at its own expense take all such steps and
execute, and procure the execution of, all such instruments as Lessor may
require and which are necessary to ensure that title so passes to Lessor
according to all applicable laws. At any time when requested by Lessor,
Lessee will provide evidence to Lessor's satisfaction (including the
provision, if required, to Lessor of one or more legal opinions) that
title has so passed to Lessor;
(b) Lessor may require Lessee to remove any Equipment Change and to restore
the Aircraft to its condition prior to that Equipment Change;
(c) Except as referred to in Clause 8.17(b) any Engine or Part (other than the
Windshear, TCAS and 11 Parameter FDR equipment referred to in Part 1 of
Schedule 1) at any time removed from the Aircraft will remain the property
of Lessor until replacement has been made in accordance with this
Agreement and until title in that replacement has passed, according to
applicable laws, to Lessor subject to this Agreement and the Mortgage free
of all Security Interests whereupon title to the Engine or Part will,
provided no Default has occurred and is continuing, pass to Lessee (in
connection with which Lessor shall execute such documents as Lessee shall
reasonably request and at Lessee's cost which are necessary to convey such
title to Lessee).
8.18 Third Party : Lessee will procure that no person (other than Lessor or
Lender) will act in any manner inconsistent with its obligations under
this Agreement and that all persons will comply with those obligations as
if references to "Lessee" included a separate reference to those persons.
9. INSURANCE
9.1 Insurances : Lessee will maintain in full force during the Term insurances
in respect of the Aircraft in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor
(the "Insurances" which expression includes, where the context so admits,
any relevant re-insurance(s)) through such brokers and
-34-
with such insurers and having such deductibles and being subject to such
exclusions as may be approved by Lessor. The Insurances will be effected
either:
(a) on a direct basis with insurers of recognized standing who normally
participate in aviation insurances in the leading international insurance
markets and led by reputable underwriter(s) approved by Lessor; or
(b) with a single insurer or group of insurers approved by Lessor who does not
retain the risk but effects substantial reinsurance with reinsurers in the
leading international insurance markets and through brokers each of
recognized standing and acceptable to Lessor for a percentage acceptable
to Lessor of all risks insured (the "Reinsurances").
9.2 Requirements : Lessor's current requirements as to required Insurances are
as specified in this Clause and in Schedule 4. Lessor may from time to
time stipulate other requirements for the Insurances so that the scope and
level of cover is maintained in line with best industry practice and the
interests of Lessor and each of the Indemnitees are protected; provided,
however, that this Clause of itself will not permit Lessor to increase the
levels of coverage required under this Agreement (but without prejudice to
any other provisions of this Agreement).
9.3 Change : If at any time and on reasonable grounds Lessor wishes to
revoke its approval of any insurer, reinsurer, insurance or
reinsurance, Lessor and/or its brokers will consult with Lessee and
Lessee's brokers (as for the time being approved by Lessor) regarding
whether that approval should be revoked to protect the interests of the
parties insured. If, following the consultation, Lessor considers that
any change should be made, Lessee will then arrange or procure the
arrangement of alternative cover satisfactory to Lessor.
9.4 Insurance Covenants: Lessee will:
(a) ensure that all legal requirements as to insurance of the Aircraft, any
Engine or any Part which may from time to time be imposed by the laws of
the State of Registration or any state to, from or over which the Aircraft
may be flown, in so far as they affect or concern the operation of the
Aircraft, are complied with and in particular those requirements
compliance with which is necessary to ensure that (i) the Aircraft is not
in danger of detention or forfeiture, (ii) the insurances remain valid and
in full force and effect, and (iii) the interests of the Indemnitees in
the Insurances and the Aircraft or any Part are not thereby prejudiced;
(b) not use, cause or permit the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part to be used
for any purpose or in any manner not covered by the Insurances or outside
any geographical limit imposed by the Insurances;
(c) comply with the terms and conditions of each policy of the Insurances and
not do, consent or agree to any act or omission which:
(i) invalidates or may invalidate the Insurances; or
-35-
(ii) renders or may render void or voidable the whole or any part of any
of the Insurances; or
(iii) brings any particular liability within the scope of an exclusion or
exception to the Insurances;
(d) not take out without the prior written approval of Lessor any insurance or
reinsurance in respect of the Aircraft other than those required under
this Agreement unless relating solely to hull total loss, business
interruption, profit commission and deductible risk. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lessee may, at its own cost, increase the Agreed Value over the
value currently provided for in this Agreement;
(e) commence renewal procedures at least 30 days prior to expiry of any of the
Insurances and provide to Lessor:
(i) if requested by Lessor, a written statement status report of renewal
negotiation 14 days prior to each expiry date.
(ii) confirmation of completion of renewal prior to each expiry date;
(iii) certificates of insurance (and whether appropriate certificates of
reinsurance), and broker's (and any reinsurance brokers') letter of
undertaking in a form acceptable to Lessor in English, detailing the
coverage and confirming the insurers' (and any reinsurers') agreement to
the specified insurance requirements of this Agreement within 7 days after
each renewal date;
(f) on request, and if a Default shall have occurred, provide to Lessor copies
of documents evidencing the Insurances;
(g) on request, and if a Default shall have occurred, provide to Lessor
evidence that the Insurance premiums have been paid;
(h) not make any modification or alteration to the insurances material and
adverse to the interests of any of the Indemnitees;
(i) be responsible for any deductible under the Insurances; and
(j) provide any other insurance and reinsurance related information, or
assistance, in respect of the Insurances as Lessor may reasonably
require.
9.5 Failure to Insure : If Lessee fails to maintain the Insurances in
compliance with this Agreement, each of the Indemnitees will be entitled
but not bound, (without prejudice to any other rights of Lessor under this
Agreement):
(a) to pay the premiums due or to effect and maintain insurances satisfactory
to it or otherwise remedy Lessee's failure in such manner (including,
without limitation to effect and maintain an "owner's interest" policy) as
it considers appropriate. Any sums so expended by it will become
-36-
immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor together with interest
thereon at the rate specified in Clause 5.11, from the date of expenditure
by it up to the date of reimbursement by Lessee;
(b) At any time while such failure is continuing to require the Aircraft to
remain at any airport or to proceed to and remain at any airport
designated by it until the failure is remedied to its satisfaction.
9.6 Continuing Indemnity : Lessor may require Lessee to effect and to maintain
product liability insurance after the Expiry Date with respect to its
liability under the Indemnification in Clause 10 for such period as Lessor
may reasonably require (but in any event not more than 3 years) which
provides for each Indemnitee to be named as additional insured. Lessee's
obligation in this Clause shall not be affected by Lessee ceasing to be
lessee of the Aircraft and/or any of the Indemnitees ceasing to have any
interest in respect of the Aircraft.
9.7 Application of Insurance Proceeds:
As between Lessor and Lessee:
(a) all insurance payments received as a result of an Event of Loss occurring
during the Term will be paid to Lessor or as it may direct and Lessor or
its designee who received such payment will pay the balance of those
amounts to Lessee after deduction of all amounts which may be or are
payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Agreement (including under Clause
11.1(b));
(b) all insurance proceeds of any property, damage or loss to the Aircraft,
any Engine or any Part occurring during the Term not constituting an Event
of Loss and in excess of the Damage Notification Threshold will be paid to
Lessor or as it may direct and applied to payment (or to reimburse Lessee)
for repairs or replacement property upon Lessor being satisfied that the
repairs or replacement have been effected in accordance with this
Agreement. Insurance proceeds in amounts below the Damage Notification
Threshold may be paid by the insurer directly to Lessee;
(c) all insurance proceeds in respect of third party liability will, except to
the extent paid by the Insurers to the relevant third party, be paid to
Lessor or as it may direct to be paid directly in satisfaction of the
relevant liability or to Lessee in reimbursement of any payment so made;
(d) notwithstanding Clauses 9.7(a), (b) or (c), if at the time of the payment
of any such insurance proceeds a Default has occurred and is continuing
all such proceeds will be paid to or retained by Lessor or Lessor's
designee to be applied toward payment of any amounts which may be or are
payable by Lessee in such order as Lessor or Lessor's designee sees fit or
as Lessor may elect.
10. INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 General : Lessee agrees to assume liability for, defend, indemnify and
hold harmless the Indemnitees on an after tax basis from and against any
and all claims, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages (whether direct,
indirect, special, incidental or consequential), suits,
-37-
judgments, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and
expenses), penalties (whether civil or criminal) or fines (each a "Claim")
(regardless of when the same is made or incurred, whether on or after July
1, 1999, during or after the Term):
(a) which may at any time be suffered or incurred directly or indirectly as
a result of or in any manner connected with the possession, delivery,
performance, management, ownership, registration, control, maintenance,
condition, service, repair, overhaul, leasing, use, operation or return
of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part (either in the air or on the
ground) whether or not the Claim may be attributable to any defect in
the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or to its design, testing or use
or otherwise, and regardless of when the same arises or whether it
arises out of or is attributable to any act or omission, negligent or
otherwise, of any Indemnitee;
(b) which arise out of any act or omission which invalidates or which renders
voidable any of the Insurances;
(c) which may at any time be suffered or incurred as a consequence of any
design, article or material in the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or its
operation or use constituting an infringement of patent, copyright,
trademark, design or other proprietary right or a breach of any obligation
of confidentiality owed to any person;
(d) which results from Lessee's breach of any of its representations or
warranties or any other event of Default under this Agreement;
but excluding any Claim in relation in a particular Indemnitee (x) to the
extent that that Claim is covered pursuant to another indemnity provision
of this Agreement or (y) to the extent it arises as a result of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, Lessor Taxes or a
Lessor Lien or (z) to the extent it arises out of facts and circumstances
occurring prior to July 1, 1999 or after the expiry of the Term where such
facts and circumstances do not result from acts or omissions of Lessee.
10.2 Duration : the Indemnification contained in this Agreement will continue
in full force after the Expiry Date.
11. EVENTS OF LOSS
11.1 Events of Loss :
(a) Pre-delivery: If an Event of Loss occurs prior to delivery of the Aircraft
to Lessee this Agreement will immediately terminate and except as
expressly stated in this Agreement neither party will have any further
obligation or liability under this Agreement other than pursuant to Clause
16.9 except that Lessor will rebate to Lessee the amount of any aircraft
commitment fee paid under this Agreement.
(b) Post-delivery: If an Event of Loss occurs after delivery of the Aircraft
to Lessee, Lessee will pay the Agreed Value to Lessor or as it may direct
on or prior to the earlier of (i) 21 Business Days
-38-
after the Event of Loss and (ii) the date of receipt of insurance proceeds
in respect of that Event of Loss. Subject to the rights of any insurers
and reinsurers or other third party, upon irrevocable payment in full to
Lessor or its designee of that amount and all other amounts which may be
or become payable to Lessor under this Agreement, Lessor will without
recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens) and without further
act, cause to have transferred to Lessee all of Lessor's rights to any
Engines and Parts not installed when the Event of Loss occurred, all on an
AS-IS-WHERE-IS basis, and will at Lessee's expense, cause Lessor to
execute and deliver such bills of sale and other documents and instruments
as Lessee may reasonably request to evidence (on the public record or
otherwise) the transfer and the vesting of Lessor's rights in such Engines
and Parts in Lessee, free and clear of all rights of Lessor and Lessor
Liens.
11.2 Requisition : During any requisition for use or hire of the Aircraft, any
Engine or Part which does not constitute an Event of Loss:
(a) the Rent and other charges payable under this Agreement will not be
suspended or abated either in whole or in part, and Lessee will not be
released from any of its other obligations under the Agreement (other than
operational obligations with which Lessee is unable to comply solely by
virtue of the requisition);
(b) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee will be
entitled to any hire paid by the requisitioning authority in respect of
the Term. Lessee will, as soon as practicable after the end of any such
requisition, cause the Aircraft to be put into the condition required by
this Agreement. Lessor will be entitled to all compensation payable by the
requisitioning authority in respect of any change in the structure, state
or condition of the Aircraft arising during the period of requisition, and
Lessor will apply such compensation in reimbursing Lessee for the cost of
complying with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of any such
change, but so that, if any Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor
may apply the compensation or hire in or towards settlement of any amounts
owing by Lessee under this Agreement.
12. RETURN OF AIRCRAFT
12.1 Return : On the Expiry Date or termination of the leasing of the Aircraft
under this Agreement Lessee will unless an Event of Loss has occurred, at
its expense, redeliver the Aircraft and Aircraft Documents to Lessor at
the Redelivery Location or such other airport as is mutually acceptable to
the parties hereto, in a condition complying with Schedule 3, free and
clear of all Security interests and Permitted Liens (other than Lessor
Liens) and in a condition qualifying for immediate certification of
airworthiness by the FAA or as otherwise agreed by Lessor and Lessee, and
thereupon cause the Aircraft to be deregistered by the Air Authority.
12.2 Final Inspection : immediately prior to redelivery of the Aircraft, Lessee
will make the Aircraft available to Lessor and Lender for inspection
("Final Inspection") in order to verify that the condition of the Aircraft
complies with this Agreement. The Final Inspection will be long enough to
permit Lessor to:
(a) inspect the Aircraft Documents;
-39-
(b) inspect the Aircraft and uninstalled Parts;
(c) inspect the Engines, including without limitation (i) a borescope
inspection of (A) the low pressure and high pressure compressors and (B)
turbine area and (ii) engine condition runs; and
(d) observe a 2 hour demonstration flight (with Lessor's representatives as
on-board observers).
Lessor will indemnify and hold harmless Lessee from and against all
Claims (as defined in Clause 10) arising from death or injury to any
observer of Lessor or any employee of Lessor in connection with any
demonstration flight or inspection of the Aircraft by Lessor (except to
the extent that such Claim arises out of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Lessee).
12.3 Non-Compliance : To the extent that, at the time of Final Inspection, the
condition of the Aircraft does not comply with this Agreement, Lessee will
at Lessor's option:
(a) immediately rectify the non-compliance and to the extent the
non-compliance extends beyond the Expiry Date, the Term will be
automatically extended and this Agreement will remain in force until the
non-compliance has been rectified; or
(b) redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor and indemnify Lessor, and provide to
Lessor's satisfaction cash as security for that indemnity, against the
cost of putting the Aircraft into the condition required by this
Agreement.
12.4 Redelivery : Upon redelivery Lessee will provide to Lessor all documents
necessary to export the Aircraft from the Habitual Base (including,
without limitation, a valid and subsisting export license for the
Aircraft) and required in relation to the deregistration of the Aircraft
with the Air Authority.
12.5 Acknowledgement: Provided Lessee has complied with its obligations under
this Agreement, following redelivery of the Aircraft by Lessee to Lessor
at the Redelivery Location, Lessor will deliver to Lessee an
acknowledgement confirming that Lessee has redelivered the Aircraft to
Lessor in accordance with this Agreement.
12.6 Maintenance Program:
(a) Prior to the Expiry Date and upon Lessor's request, Lessee will provide
Lessor or its agent reasonable access to the Agreed Maintenance Program
and the Aircraft Documents in order to facilitate the Aircraft's
integration into any subsequent operator's fleet;
(b) Lessee will, if requested by Lessor to do so, upon return of the Aircraft
deliver to Lessor a certified true current and complete copy of the Agreed
Maintenance Program. Lessor agrees that it will not disclose the contents
of the Agreed Maintenance Program to any person or entity except to the
extent necessary to monitor Lessee's compliance with this Agreement and/or
to bridge the maintenance Program for the Aircraft from the Agreed
Maintenance Program to
-40-
another Program after the Expiry Date.
12.7 Fuel : Upon redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor, an adjustment will be
made in respect of fuel on board on delivery of the Aircraft pursuant to
the Prior Lease and fuel on board at redelivery at the price then
prevailing at the Redelivery Location.
12.8 [Intentionally Omitted].

without prejudice to any of its other rights under this Agreement), at any
time thereafter (without notice to Lessee except as required under
applicable law):
(a) accept such repudiation and by notice to Lessee and with immediate effect
terminate the letting
-43-
of the Aircraft (but without prejudice to the continuing obligations of
Lessee under this Agreement), whereupon all rights of Lessee under this
Agreement shall cease; and/or
(b) proceed by appropriate court action or actions to enforce performance of
this Agreement or to recover damages for the breach of this Agreement;
and/or
(c) either:
(i) take possession of the Aircraft, for which purpose Lessor may enter
any premises belonging to or in the occupation of or under the control of
Lessee where the Aircraft may be located, or cause the Aircraft to be
redelivered to Lessor at Xxxxxxx International Airport, Co. Clare, Ireland
(or such other location as Lessor may require), and Lessor is hereby
irrevocably by way of security for Lessee's obligations under this
Agreement appointed attorney for Lessee in causing the redelivery or in
directing the pilots of Lessee or other pilots to fly the Aircraft to that
airport and will have all the powers and authorizations necessary for

at Xxxxxxx International Airport, Ireland (or such other location as

where the Aircraft is for the time being situated and any other steps
necessary to enable the Aircraft to be redelivered to Lessor in accordance
with this Agreement; Lessee hereby irrevocably and by way of security for
its obligations under this Agreement appoints (which appointment is
coupled with an interest) Lessor as its attorney to execute and deliver
any documentation and to do any act or thing required in connection with
the foregoing.
13.4 Default Payments : If
(a) Default occurs; or
(b) the Aircraft is not delivered on the proposed Commencement Date by reason
of failure of Lessee to satisfy any conditions to that delivery;
at Lessor's election, the present value of all Rent due and payable under
this Agreement after the date of the Default shall immediately become due
and payable (such amounts to be discounted to the then present value at
the rate of 8.5% per annum) as liquidated damages for the loss of a
bargain and not as a penalty. In addition, Lessee will indemnify Lessor on
demand against any loss (including loss of profit), damages, expense, cost
or liability which Lessor may sustain or incur directly or indirectly as a
result including but not limited to:
(i) any loss of profit suffered by Lessor because of Lessor's inability to
place the Aircraft on lease with another lessee on terms as favorable to
Lessor as this Agreement or because whatever
-44-
use, if any, to which Lessor is able to put the Aircraft upon its return
to Lessor, or the funds arising upon a sale or other disposal of the
Aircraft, is not as profitable to Lessor as this Agreement;
(ii) any amount of principal, interest, fees or other sums whatsoever paid
or payable on account of funds borrowed in order to carry any unpaid
amount;

owing to Lessee's failure to redeliver the Aircraft on the date, at the
place and in the condition required by this Agreement.

INTEREST OVER, ANY OF ITS RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
14.2 Subject to Clause 14.4 Lessor may assign, novate or transfer all or any of
its rights under this Agreement and in the Aircraft provided that Lessor
will in the case of an assignment, novation or transfer other than by way
of security have no further obligation under this Agreement following the
assignment, novation or transfer of all its rights under this Agreement
but notwithstanding that assignment, novation or transfer will remain
entitled to the benefit of each indemnity and the liability insurances
effected under this Agreement. Lessee will comply with all reasonable
requests of Lessor, its successors and assigns in respect of any such
assignment. Lessor will promptly notify Lessee of any assignment, novation
or transfer.
14.3 If Lessor desires to effect any assignment, novation or transfer of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement, Lessee agrees to cooperate
and take all such steps as Lessor may reasonably request to give the
assignee, novatee or transferee the benefit of this Agreement (including
as to the execution of novation agreements, lease amendment agreements and
acknowledgements of assignment).
14.4 Any assignment, novation or transfer by Lessor shall be at Lessor's cost
and shall not result in any increase in Lessee's obligations hereunder in
excess of those which would exist in the absence of such assignment,
novation or transfer. In addition, such assignment, novation or transfer
shall be to a Person having a net worth of at least $6,400,000.
15. ILLEGALITY
If it is or becomes unlawful in any jurisdiction for Lessor to give effect
to any of Lessor's obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to
continue this Agreement Lessor may by
-45-
notice in writing to Lessee terminate the leasing of the Aircraft under
this Agreement and Lessee will forthwith redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor
in accordance with Clause 12. Without prejudice to the foregoing Lessor
will consult in good faith with Lessee as to any steps which may be taken
to restructure the transaction to avoid that unlawfulness but will be
under no obligation to take any such steps.
16. MISCELLANEOUS
16.1 Waivers, Remedies Cumulative : The rights of Lessor under this Agreement:
(a) may be exercised as often as necessary;
(b) are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under any law; and
(c) may be waived only in writing and specifically.
Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any such right is not a waiver of that
right.
16.2 Delegation : Lessor may delegate to any person or persons all or any of
the trusts, powers or discretions vested in it by these presents and any
such delegation may be made upon such terms and conditions and subject to
such regulations (including power to sub-delegate) as Lessor in its
absolute discretion thinks fit.
16.3 Certificates : Save where expressly provided in this Agreement, any
certificate or determination by Lessor as to any rate of interest or as to
any other amount payable under this Agreement will, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Lessee.
16.4 Appropriation : If any sum paid or recovered in respect of the liabilities
of Lessee under this Agreement is less than the amount then due, Lessor
may apply that sum to amounts due under this Agreement in such proportions
and order and generally in such manner as Lessor may determine at its sole
discretion.
16.5 Currency Indemnity:
(a) If Lessor receives an amount in respect of Lessee's liability under this
Agreement or if such liability is converted into a claim, proof, judgment
or order in a currency other than the currency (the "contractual
currency") in which the amount is expressed to be payable under this
Agreement:
(i) Lessee will indemnify Lessor as an independent obligation against any
loss arising out of or as a result of such conversion;
(ii) If the amount received by Lessor, when converted into the contractual
currency (at the market rate at which Lessor is able on the date of
receipt by Lessor (or on the next date thereafter on which under normal
banking practice Lessor is able to convert the amount received into the
-46-
contractual currency) to purchase the contractual currency in London or at
its option
New York with that other currency) is less than the amount owed
in the contractual currency, Lessee will, forthwith on demand, pay to
Lessor an amount in the contractual currency equal to the deficit; and
(iii) Lessee will pay to Lessor on demand any exchange costs and Taxes
payable in connection with the conversion;
(b) Lessee waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount
under this Agreement in a currency other than that in which it is
expressed to be payable.
16.6 Set-off : Lessor may set off any matured obligation owed by Lessee under
this Agreement, the Other Leases or under any other agreement between
Lessor (or any affiliate or associate of Lessor) and Lessee (to the extent
beneficially owned by Lessor) against any obligation (whether or not
matured) owed by Lessor to Lessee, regardless of the place of payment or
currency. If the obligations are in different currencies, Lessor may
convert either obligation at the market rate of exchange available in
London or at its option
New York for the purpose of the set-off. If an
obligation is unascertained or unliquidated, Lessor may in good faith
estimate that obligation and set off in respect of the estimate, subject
to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is
ascertained or liquidated. Lessor will not be obliged to pay any amounts
to Lessee under this Agreement so long as any sums which are then due from
Lessee under this Agreement, the Other Leases or under any other agreement
between Lessor (or any affiliate or associate of Lessor) and Lessee remain
unpaid and any such amounts which would otherwise be due will fall due
only if and when Lessee has paid all such sums except to the extent Lessor
otherwise agrees or sets off such amounts against such payment pursuant to
the foregoing.
16.7 Severability : If a provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal,
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that will not affect:
(a) the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other
provision of this Agreement; or
(b) the legality, validity or enforceability in any other jurisdiction of that
or any other provision of this Agreement.
16.8 Remedy : If Lessee fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement,
Lessor may, without being in any way obliged to do so or responsible for
so doing and without prejudice to the ability of Lessor to treat the
non-compliance as a Default or an Event of Default, effect compliance on
behalf of Lessee, whereupon Lessee shall become liable to pay immediately
any sums expended by Lessor together with all costs and expenses
(including legal costs) in connection therewith.
In the event that Lessee obtains a judgment against Lessor, Lessee shall
be entitled to receive all costs and expenses (including legal costs) in
connection therewith.
16.9 Expenses : Whether or not the Aircraft is accepted by Lessee pursuant to
this Agreement, if
-47-
Lessor shall have tendered the Aircraft to Lessee pursuant to this
Agreement, Lessee will pay to Lessor on demand:
(a) all expenses associated with perfecting this Agreement in the State of
Registration, the Habitual Base and other states having regard to the
operation of the Aircraft (including, but not limited to the provision of
legal opinions (unless otherwise agreed between Lessor and Lessee) stamp
duties, translations and registrations, whether required by Lessor or
Lessee); and
(b) upon the occurrence of a Default, all expenses (including legal, survey
and other costs) payable or incurred by Lessor in contemplation of, or
otherwise in connection with, the enforcement of or preservation of any of
Lessor's rights under this Agreement, or in respect of the repossession of
the Aircraft.
Lessor shall bear the cost of importing the Aircraft into the United
States of America.
All expenses payable pursuant to this Clause 16.9 will be paid in the
currency in which they are incurred by Lessor.

obligations under this Agreement will be of the essence of this Agreement.

of the Aircraft under said Section 1110 and shall not in any way oppose
such action by Lessor unless Lessee shall have complied with the
requirements of said Section 1110 to be fulfilled in order to entitle
Lessee to continued use and possession of the Aircraft hereunder. In
the event said Section 1110 is amended, or if it is repealed and
another statute is enacted in lieu thereof, Lessor and Lessee agree to
amend this Agreement and take such other action not inconsistent with
this Agreement as Lessor reasonably deems necessary so as to afford to
Lessor the rights and benefits as such amended or substituted statute
confers upon owners and lessors of aircraft similarly situated to
Lessor.
18.2 The Lessor and the Lessee intend that this Agreement constitute a "true
lease" and a lease for all United States federal income tax purposes. The
Lessor and the Lessee further intend and agree that the Lessor shall be
entitled to the full benefits afforded lessors of aircraft under 11 U.S.C.
Section 1110, as amended.
