Claims for In-house Warranty credit will be filed within the time period set forth in 12.1.5 (ii) and will contain the same information as that required for Warranty Claims under Clause 12.1.6.5 and in addition will include:

(a)

a report of technical findings with respect to the defect,

(b)

for parts required to remedy the defect:

part numbers,

serial numbers (if applicable),

parts description,

quantity of parts,

unit price of parts,

related Seller’s or third party’s invoices (if applicable),

total price of parts,

(c)

detailed number of labor hours,

(d)

In-house Warranty Labor Rate,

(e)

total claim value.

12.1.7.5

Credit

The Buyer’s sole remedy and the Seller’s sole obligation and liability with respect to In-house Warranty Claims will be the warranty credit issued to the Buyer in an amount equal to the reasonable direct labor costs expended in performing the repair of a Warranted Part and to the direct costs of materials incorporated in such repair, determined as set forth below:

(i)

to determine direct labor costs, only man-hours spent on [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] disassembly, inspection, repair, reassembly, final inspection and test of the Warranted Part [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] will be counted. Any man-hours required for maintenance work concurrently being carried out on the affected Aircraft or the Warranted Part will not be included.

(ii)

The man-hours counted as set forth above will be multiplied by an agreed labor rate of [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] (“In-house Warranty Labor Rate”), which is deemed to represent the Buyer’s composite labor rate meaning the average hourly rate (excluding all fringe benefits, premium time allowances, social security charges, business taxes and the like) paid to the Buyer’s employees whose jobs are directly related to the performance of the repair.

The In-house Warranty Labor Rate is subject to annual adjustment by multiplication by the ratio ECIn/ECIb. For the purposes of this Clause 12.1.7.5 only, ECIn will be equal to the Labor Index, ECI336411W, defined in the Seller’s Price Revision Formula 2011 set forth in Exhibit C-1 to the Agreement.

(iii)

Direct material costs are determined by the prices at which the Buyer acquired such material, excluding any parts and materials used for overhaul and as may be furnished by the Seller at no charge.

12.1.7.6

Limitation

The Buyer will in no event be credited for repair costs (including labor and material) for any Warranted Part in excess of [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] of the Seller’s current catalogue price for a replacement of such defective Warranted Part.

12.1.7.7

Scrapped Material

The Buyer will retain any defective Warranted Part beyond economic repair and any defective part removed from a Warranted Part during repair for a period of either [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] after the date of completion of the repair or [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] after submission of a claim for In-house Warranty credit relating thereto, whichever is longer, and during such period such parts will be returned to the Seller within [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] of receipt of the Seller’s request to that effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer may scrap any such defective parts, which are beyond economic repair and not required for technical evaluation locally, with the agreement of the Seller Representative(s) at any time.

[CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

12.1.8

Standard Warranty in case of Pooling or Leasing Arrangements

12.1.9

Warranty for Corrected, Replaced or Repaired Warranted Parts

Notwithstanding the definition of “Warranty Period” set forth in Clause 12.1.2.3, whenever any Warranted Part, which contains a defect for which the Seller is liable under Clause 12.1, has been corrected, replaced or repaired pursuant to the terms of this Clause 12.1 (a “Corrected Part”), the period of the Seller’s warranty with respect to such Corrected Part will be the remaining portion of the original warranty [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

If a defect is attributable to a defective repair or replacement by the Buyer, a Warranty Claim with respect to such defect will be rejected, notwithstanding any subsequent correction or repair, and will immediately terminate the remaining warranties under this Clause 12.1 in respect of the affected Warranted Part.

12.1.10

Accepted Industry Standard Practices Normal Wear and Tear

The Buyer’s rights under this Clause 12.1 with respect to any Warranted Part are subject to such Warranted Part being maintained, overhauled, repaired and operated in accordance with accepted industry standard practices, all Technical Data and any other instructions issued by the Seller, the Suppliers and the Propulsion System Manufacturer with respect to such Warranted Part and all applicable rules, regulations and directives of the relevant Aviation Authorities with respect to such Warranted Part.

The Seller’s liability under this Clause 12.1 will not extend to normal wear and tear nor to:

(i)

any Warranted Part that has been repaired, altered or modified after Delivery, except by the Seller or in accordance with the Seller’s Technical Data or the Seller’s written instructions;

(ii)

(v)

the Buyer will report any breakage or defect in an Item in writing to the Seller within [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] after such breakage or defect becomes apparent, whether or not such breakage or defect can reasonably be expected to occur in any other aircraft, and the Buyer will have provided to the Seller reasonably sufficient detail on the breakage or defect to enable the Seller to determine whether such breakage or defect is subject to the Seller Service Life Policy.

12.2.4.3

Except as otherwise provided for in this Clause 12.2, any claim under the Seller Service Life Policy will be administered as provided for in, and will be subject to the terms and conditions of, Clause 12.1.6.

12.2.4.4

In the event of the Seller having issued a modification applicable to an Aircraft, the purpose of which is to avoid a Failure, the Seller may elect to supply the necessary modification kit free of charge to the Buyer or under a pro rata formula established by the Seller. If such a kit is so offered to the Buyer free of charge, then, to the extent of such Failure and any Failures that could ensue therefrom, the validity of the Seller’s commitment under this Clause 12.2 will be subject to the Buyer incorporating such modification in the relevant Aircraft, as promulgated by the Seller and in accordance with the Seller’s instructions, within a reasonable period of time.

12.2.4.5

THE SELLER SERVICE LIFE POLICY IS NEITHER A WARRANTY, PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE, NOR AN AGREEMENT TO MODIFY ANY AIRCRAFT OR AIRFRAME COMPONENTS TO CONFORM TO NEW DEVELOPMENTS OCCURRING IN THE STATE OF AIRFRAME DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING ART. THE SELLER’S OBLIGATION UNDER THIS CLAUSE 12.2 IS TO MAKE ONLY THOSE CORRECTIONS TO THE ITEMS OR FURNISH REPLACEMENTS THEREFOR AS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS CLAUSE 12.2. THE BUYER’S SOLE REMEDY AND RELIEF FOR THE NON-PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY OF THE SELLER ARISING UNDER OR BY VIRTUE OF THE SELLER SERVICE LIFE POLICY WILL BE [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT THE BUYER REASONABLY EXPENDS IN PROCURING A CORRECTION OR REPLACEMENT FOR ANY ITEM THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF A FAILURE COVERED BY THE SELLER SERVICE LIFE POLICY AND TO WHICH SUCH

12.3	Supplier Warranties and Service Life Policies

Prior to or at Delivery of the first Aircraft, the Seller will provide the Buyer, in accordance with the provisions of Clause 17, with the warranties and, where applicable, service life policies that the Seller has obtained for Supplier Parts pursuant to the Supplier Product Support Agreements. The Seller authorizes the Buyer to enforce directly against all Suppliers all such warranties and service life policies to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Supplier Product Support Agreement.

[CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

12.3.1

Definitions

12.3.1.1

“Supplier” means any supplier of Supplier Parts.

12.3.1.2

“Supplier Part” means any component, equipment, accessory or part installed in an Aircraft at the time of Delivery thereof and for which there exists a Supplier Product Support Agreement. For the sake of clarity, the Propulsion System and Buyer Furnished Equipment and other equipment selected by the Buyer to be supplied by suppliers with whom the Seller has no existing enforceable warranty agreements are not Supplier Parts.

12.3.1.3

“Supplier Product Support Agreements” means agreements between the Seller and Suppliers, as described in Clause 17.1.2, containing enforceable and transferable warranties and, in the case of landing gear suppliers, service life policies for selected structural landing gear elements.

12.3.2

Supplier’s Default

12.3.2.1

In the event that any Supplier, under any standard warranty obtained by the Seller in a Supplier Product Support Agreement, defaults in the performance of any obligation with respect thereto and subject to (i) the Buyer using its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its rights under such Supplier Product Support Agreement and (ii) the Buyer submitting in reasonable time to the Seller reasonable evidence that such default has occurred, then Clause 12.1 will apply to the extent the same would have been applicable had such Supplier Part been a Warranted Part, except that the Supplier’s warranty period as indicated in the Supplier Product Support Agreement will apply.

12.3.2.2

In the event that any Supplier, under any Supplier service life policy obtained by the Seller in a Supplier Product Support Agreement, defaults in the performance of any obligation with respect thereto and subject to (i) the Buyer using its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its rights under such Supplier Product Support Agreement and (ii) the Buyer submitting in reasonable time to the Seller reasonable evidence that such default has occurred, then Clause 12.2 will apply as if such Supplier Part was an Item, except that the Supplier’s service life policy period as indicated in the Supplier Product Support Agreement will apply.

12.3.2.3

At the Seller’s request, the Buyer will assign to the Seller, and the Seller will be subrogated to, all of the Buyer’s rights against the relevant Supplier with respect to and arising by reason of such default and will provide reasonable assistance to enable the Seller to enforce the rights so assigned.

12.4	Interface Commitment

12.4.1

Interface Problem

If the Warranty Beneficiary experiences any technical problem in the operation of an Aircraft or its systems due to a malfunction, the cause of which, after due and reasonable investigation, is not readily identifiable by the Warranty Beneficiary but which the Warranty Beneficiary reasonably believes to be attributable to the design characteristics of one or more components of such Aircraft (“Interface Problem”), the Seller will, if so requested by the Warranty Beneficiary, and without additional charge to the Warranty Beneficiary, promptly conduct or have conducted an investigation and analysis of such problem to determine, if possible, the cause or causes of the problem and to recommend such corrective action as may be feasible. The Warranty Beneficiary will furnish to the Seller all data and information in the Warranty Beneficiary’s possession reasonably relevant to the Interface Problem and will reasonably cooperate with the Seller in the conduct of the Seller’s investigations and such tests as may be required.

At the conclusion of such investigation, the Seller will promptly advise the Warranty Beneficiary in writing of the Seller’s opinion as to the cause or causes of the Interface Problem and the Seller’s recommendations as to corrective action.

12.4.2

Seller’s Responsibility

If the Seller determines that the Interface Problem is primarily attributable to the design of a Warranted Part, the Seller will, if so requested by the Warranty Beneficiary and pursuant to the terms and conditions of Clause 12.1, correct the design of such Warranted Part to the extent of the Seller’s obligation as defined in Clause 12.1.

12.4.3

Supplier’s Responsibility

If the Seller determines that the Interface Problem is primarily attributable to the design of any Supplier Part, the Seller will, if so requested by the Warranty Beneficiary, reasonably assist the Warranty Beneficiary in processing any warranty claim the Warranty Beneficiary may have against the Supplier. The Seller will also take whatever reasonable action is permitted by its contracts with such Supplier in an effort to obtain a correction of the Interface Problem acceptable to the Warranty Beneficiary. If the Supplier fails within a reasonable period of time to take appropriate action on the Seller’s recommendation as to the necessary corrective action and the Warranty Beneficiary submits to the Seller, within a reasonable period of time, proof of such failure, then the Seller will take action in accordance with the provisions of Clause 12.3

12.4.4

Joint Responsibility

If the Seller determines that the Interface Problem is attributable partially to the design of a Warranted Part and partially to the design of any Supplier Part, the Seller will, if so requested by the Warranty Beneficiary, seek a solution to the Interface Problem through cooperative efforts of the Seller and any Supplier involved.

The Seller will promptly advise the Warranty Beneficiary of such corrective action as may be proposed by the Seller and any such Supplier. Such proposal will be consistent with any then existing obligations of the Seller hereunder and of any such Supplier towards the Warranty Beneficiary. Such corrective action, unless reasonably rejected by the Warranty Beneficiary, will constitute full satisfaction of any claim the Warranty Beneficiary may have against either the Seller or any such Supplier with respect to such Interface Problem.

12.4.5

General

12.4.5.1

All requests under this Clause 12.4 will be directed to both the Seller and the affected Supplier.

Except as specifically set forth in this Clause 12.4, this Clause will not be deemed to impose on the Seller any obligations not expressly set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

12.4.5.3

All reports, recommendations, data and other documents furnished by the Seller to the Warranty Beneficiary pursuant to this Clause 12.4 will be deemed to be delivered under this Agreement and will be subject to the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Clause 12 and in Clause 22.11.

IN THE EVENT THAT ANY PROVISION OF THIS CLAUSE 12 SHOULD FOR ANY REASON BE HELD UNLAWFUL, OR OTHERWISE UNENFORCEABLE, THE REMAINDER OF THIS CLAUSE 12 WILL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.

FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS CLAUSE 12.5, THE “SELLER” WILL BE UNDERSTOOD TO INCLUDE THE SELLER AND ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS, SUBCONTRACTORS, AND AFFILIATES.

12.6	Duplicate Remedies

The remedies provided to the Buyer under Clause 12.1 and Clause 12.2 as to any defect in respect of any Aircraft or any part thereof are mutually exclusive and not cumulative. The Buyer will be entitled to the remedy that provides the maximum benefit to it, as the Buyer may elect, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Clause 12 for any particular defect for which remedies are provided under this Clause 12; provided, however, that the Buyer will not be entitled to elect a remedy under both Clause 12.1 and Clause 12.2 for the same defect. The Buyer’s rights and remedies herein for the nonperformance of any obligations or liabilities of the Seller arising under these warranties will be in monetary damages limited to the amount the Buyer expends in procuring a correction or replacement for any covered part subject to a defect or nonperformance covered by this Clause 12, and the Buyer will not have any right to require specific performance by the Seller.

12.7	Negotiated Agreement

The Buyer specifically recognizes that:

(i)

the Specifications have been agreed upon after careful consideration by the Buyer using its judgment as a professional operator of aircraft used in public transportation and as such is a professional within the same industry as the Seller;

(ii)

this Agreement, and in particular this Clause 12, has been the subject of discussion and negotiation and is fully understood by the Buyer; and

(iii)

the price of the Aircraft and the other mutual agreements of the Buyer set forth in this Agreement were arrived at in consideration of, inter alia, the provisions of this Clause 12, specifically including the waiver, release and renunciation by the Buyer set forth in Clause 12.5.

Debt Rescheduling. (i) Promptly upon the Buyer commencing negotiations with one or more of its significant creditors with a view to general readjustment or rescheduling of all or any material part of its indebtedness under circumstances in which a reasonable

business person, in the exercise of prudent business judgment, would conclude that the Buyer would otherwise not be able to pay such indebtedness as it falls due, notice of commencement of such negotiations, and (ii) thereafter timely advice of the progress of such negotiations until such negotiations are terminated or completed.

Acceleration of other indebtedness. Immediately upon knowledge by the Buyer that the holder of any bond, debenture, promissory note or any similar evidence of indebtedness of the Buyer or Affiliate thereof (“Other Indebtedness”) has demanded payment, given notice or exercised its right to a remedy having the effect of acceleration with respect to a claimed event of default under any Other Indebtedness, where the impact of the acceleration is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Buyer’s ability to perform its obligations under or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, notice of the demand made, notice given or action taken by such holder and the nature and status of the claimed event of default and what the action the Buyer is taking with respect thereto.

Other Information.

20.6

Nothing contained in this Clause 20 will be deemed to waive or limit the Seller’s rights or ability to request adequate assurance under Article 2, Section 609 of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”).

Except as hereinafter provided, neither party may sell, assign, novate or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person without the prior written consent of the other, except that either party may sell, assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliate without the other party’s consent, provided that the assigning party will remain ultimately responsible for fulfillment of all obligations undertaken by such party in this Agreement.

21.2	Assignments on Sale, Merger or Consolidation

The Buyer will be entitled to assign its rights under this Agreement at any time due to a merger, consolidation or a sale of all or substantially all of its assets without the consent of the Seller, provided that:

the surviving or acquiring entity has executed an assumption agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Seller, agreeing to assume all of the Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement;

(ii)

at the time, and immediately following the consummation, of the merger, consolidation or sale, no Buyer Termination Event exists or will have occurred and be continuing; and

The Buyer recognizes that succession of the Successor to the Agreement by operation of law that is valid under the law pursuant to which that succession occurs will be binding upon the Buyer.

21.5	Assignment in Connection with Aircraft Financing

Prior to Delivery of an Aircraft, the Buyer will not resell, lease, or transfer such Aircraft without the Seller’s written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Seller will take any

requested action (including, but not limited to, the execution and delivery of a consent and agreement in substantially the form to be agreed by the Buyer and the Seller prior to the Delivery of the first Aircraft) reasonably required for the purpose of causing an Aircraft, at or following Delivery, to be subject to a sale, lease equipment trust, conditional sale, lien or other arrangement for the financing by the Buyer of the Aircraft. However, no such action will require the Seller to divest itself of title to or possession of the Aircraft until Delivery of and payment for the Aircraft.

21.6	Assignment in Connection with Sale or Lease of Aircraft

With the consent of the Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, if, following Delivery of an Aircraft, the Buyer sells or leases such Aircraft, the Buyer may assign all or any of its rights under this Agreement to the purchaser or lessee of such Aircraft if the purchaser or lessee of such Aircraft enters into an agreement in substantially the form to be agreed by the Buyer and the Seller prior to the Delivery of the first Aircraft, such agreement to contain provisions whereby the purchaser or lessee agrees to be bound by and comply with all applicable terms of this Agreement.

LEASE AGREEMENT ([YEAR] MSN [MSN])

This LEASE AGREEMENT ([YEAR] MSN [MSN]) (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, this “Lease”), dated as of [ ], [YEAR], between XXXXX FARGO BANK NORTHWEST, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, not in its individual capacity, except as expressly provided herein, but solely as Owner Trustee (herein in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns, “Lessor” or “Owner Trustee”, and in its individual capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns, “Trust Company”), and AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and permitted assigns, “Lessee”).

RECITALS:

Lessee wishes to lease the Aircraft from Lessor, and Lessor wishes to lease the Aircraft to Lessee, on the terms and subject to the conditions provided herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein contained, the agreements contained in the other Operative Documents and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. Unless the context otherwise requires, all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth, and shall be construed and interpreted in the manner described, in Annex A hereto for all purposes of this Lease.

Section 2. Leasing of Aircraft. (a) Lessor hereby agrees (subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the Participation Agreement) to lease to Lessee hereunder, and Lessee hereby agrees (subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 4.3 of the Participation Agreement) to lease from Lessor hereunder, the Aircraft, as evidenced by the execution by Lessor and Lessee of Lease Supplement No. 1 covering the Aircraft.

(b) On the Delivery Date, subject to Lessee’s acceptance of the Aircraft, Lessee will take possession of the Aircraft “AS-IS, WHERE-IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS.”

Section 3. Term and Rent.

(a) Term. The Basic Term for the lease of the Aircraft hereunder shall commence on the Delivery Date and shall end on the Lease Expiry Date, or such earlier date on which this Lease is terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(b) Basic Rent. Lessee hereby agrees to pay to Lessor Basic Rent in advance for the Aircraft throughout the Term in installments, the first installment of which shall be due and payable on the Delivery Date, and the remaining installments of which shall be due and payable on the other Lease Period Dates, in the amounts computed as provided in Schedule A to Lease Supplement No. 1 for the Basic Term (Basic Rent payable for any Renewal Term, shall be as provided in Section 21). The installment of Basic Rent due and payable on the Delivery Date

shall be allocable to the Lease Period commencing on the Delivery Date and ending on the day immediately preceding the following Lease Period Date. Each other installment of Basic Rent is allocable to the Lease Period beginning on the Lease Period Date on which such installment is due and payable.

(c) Supplemental Rent. Lessee also agrees to pay to Lessor, or to whomsoever shall be entitled thereto, any and all Supplemental Rent promptly as the same shall become due and owing, and in the event of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay any Supplemental Rent, Lessor shall, subject to Section 15, have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein, in equity or law, as in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent. In addition, Lessee will pay as Supplemental Rent, on demand, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, an amount equal to interest at the Overdue Rate on any part of any installment of Basic Rent not paid when due for any period for which the same shall be overdue and on any payment of Supplemental Rent not paid when due or demanded, as the case may be, for the period until the same shall be paid.

(d) Payments in General. All payments of Rent shall be made in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of payment, to Lessor to the account set forth on Annex B to the Participation Agreement (or such other account in the United States of Lessor as Lessor directs by written notice to Lessee at least 10 Business Days prior to the date such payment of Rent is due, or, in the case of Supplemental Rent expressly payable to a Person other than Lessor, to the Person that shall be entitled thereto to such account in the United States as such Person directs by written notice to Lessee at least 10 Business Days prior to the date such payment of Rent is due). If any Rent is due on a day that is not a Business Day, such Rent shall be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if paid on the scheduled date of payment, and no interest shall accrue on the amount of such payment from and after such scheduled date to the time of payment on such next succeeding Business Day.

Section 4. Lessor’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(a) Disclaimer. NONE OF OWNER TRUSTEE, TRUST COMPANY OR OWNER PARTICIPANT (IN EACH CASE, IN ITS CAPACITY AS SUCH) MAKES OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE HEREIN ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE AIRWORTHINESS, VALUE, CONDITION, WORKMANSHIP, DESIGN, OPERATION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR USE OR FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY ENGINE OR ANY PART THEREOF, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF ANY INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT, OR AS TO THE ABSENCE OF OBLIGATIONS BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY ENGINE OR ANY PART THEREOF, except that nothing set forth in this subsection (a) shall (x) derogate from the representations and warranties made by Owner Trustee, Trust Company or Owner Participant in or pursuant to any Operative Document or (y) be construed as a waiver by Lessee of any warranty or other claim against any manufacturer, supplier, dealer, contractor, subcontractor or other Person.

(b) U.S. Citizenship. Lessor at all times will be a Citizen of the United States to permit registration of the Aircraft with the FAA. Trust Company represents and warrants that it is a Citizen of the United States. Owner Trustee represents and warrants that it is a Citizen of the United States.

(c) Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor covenants that, except as expressly permitted by Section 15 following an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing, notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Operative Document to the contrary, neither Lessor nor any Person claiming by, through or under Lessor shall (i) discharge the registration with the International Registry of the International Interests arising with respect to the Lease, (ii) transfer the right to discharge any of such International Interests to any other Person or cause any such right to be so transferred (except (x) in connection with a Transfer permitted by Section 8.1 of the Participation Agreement, or [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] or (iii) take or cause to be taken any action inconsistent with Lessee’s rights under this Lease and its right to quiet enjoyment of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part, or otherwise in any way interfere with or interrupt the use, operation and continuing possession of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part by Lessee or any sublessee, assignee or transferee under any sublease, assignment or transfer then in effect and permitted by the terms of this Lease.

(d) Lien Lifting. Lessor agrees that (i) it shall promptly, at its own cost and expense, take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge and satisfy in full any Lessor’s Lien attributable to it if the same shall arise at any time (by bonding or otherwise, so long as Lessee’s operation and use of the Aircraft is not impaired); provided that Lessor may, for a period of not more than 60 days, contest any such Lessor’s Lien diligently and in good faith by appropriate proceedings so long as such contest does not involve any material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of or loss of use of the Airframe or any Engine or any material risk of criminal penalties or material civil penalties being imposed on Lessee, and (ii) it shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessee from and against any loss, cost, expense or damage (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) that may be suffered or incurred by Lessee as a result of a failure by Lessor to promptly discharge or satisfy in full any such Lessor’s Lien.

(e) Warranties. Lessor agrees that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall have the benefit of and shall be entitled to enforce, either in its own name or in the name of Lessor for the use and benefit of Lessee, any and all warranties of any Person (whether express or implied) in respect of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part, and Lessor agrees to execute and deliver such further documents and take such further action, as may be reasonably requested by Lessee and at Lessee’s cost and expense, as may be necessary to enable Lessee to obtain such warranty service or the benefits of any such warranty as may be furnished for the Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or any Part by such Person. Lessor hereby appoints and constitutes Lessee, except at such times as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, its agent and attorney-in-fact during the Term to assert and enforce, from time to time, in the name and for the account of Lessor and Lessee, as their interests may appear, but in all cases at the cost and expense of Lessee, whatever claims and rights Lessor may have against such Person.

(f) Lessor’s Interest in Certain Engines. Lessor hereby agrees, for the benefit of the lessor, conditional vendor or secured party of any airframe or any engine leased, purchased or owned by Lessee (or any Permitted Sublessee) subject to a lease, conditional sale or other security agreement, that Lessor will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor, conditional vendor or secured party, any right, title or interest in any engine or engines as the result of such engine or engines being installed on the Airframe at any time while such engine or engines are subject to such lease, conditional sale or other security agreement, provided however, that such agreement of Lessor shall not be for the benefit of any lessor, conditional vendor or secured party of any airframe or any engine leased, purchased or owned by Lessee (or any Permitted Sublessee) subject to a lease, conditional sale or other security agreement, unless such lessor, conditional vendor, or secured party has expressly agreed (which agreement may be contained in such lease, conditional sale or other security agreement) that neither it nor its successors or assigns will acquire or claim, as against Lessor, any right, title or interest in an Engine as a result of such Engine being installed on such airframe subject to such lease, conditional sale or security agreement.

(g) Title Transfers by Lessor. If Lessor shall be required to transfer title to the Aircraft or any Engine to Lessee or its designee pursuant to this Lease, (i) Lessor will (A) transfer to Lessee or its designee, without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of Lessor’s Liens and Liens of the type described in Section 6(h)), all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to such Aircraft or Engine, free and clear of all right, title and interest of Lessor and of Lessor’s Liens and Liens of the type described in Section 6(h), all in AS-IS WHERE-IS condition, (B) at Lessee’s expense, execute and deliver such bills of sale (and any such xxxx of sale shall be in such form as will qualify as a “contract of sale” pursuant to Article V of the Aircraft Protocol) and other documents and instruments of transfer (including consents to appropriate registrations with the International Registry), all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessee, as Lessee shall reasonably request to evidence (on the public record or otherwise) such transfer and the vesting in Lessee or its designee of all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to such Aircraft or Engine and (C) take such actions as may be required to be taken by Lessor so that the transfer of such Aircraft or Engine to Lessee or its designee shall be registered as a Sale on the International Registry, (ii) Lessor will assign (to the extent freely assignable) to Lessee or its designee all of Lessor’s rights in any available warranties with respect to such Aircraft or Engine and (iii) Lessor will assign (to the extent freely assignable) to Lessee or its designee, pursuant to an assignment agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessee, all of its right, title and interest in and to claims against third Persons relating to such Aircraft or Engine.

(h) Vesting of Title. Lessor agrees that in each instance in which this Lease provides that title to the Aircraft, any Engine, engine, Part or Obsolete Part shall be transferred to or vest in Lessee, title to such Aircraft, Engine, engine, Part or Obsolete Part shall vest in Lessee free and clear of all right, title and interest of Lessor, Lessor’s Liens and Liens of the type described in Section 6(h), and Lessor shall do all acts necessary to discharge all such Liens and other rights held by it in such Aircraft, Engine, engine, Part or Obsolete Part.

Section 5. Return of Aircraft. Lessee hereby agrees to comply with the Return Conditions regarding return of the Aircraft to Lessor. In addition, Lessee agrees, in connection with any return of the Aircraft hereunder, to pay on the Return Date the amounts payable pursuant to Annex B, if any. All references in this Lease or elsewhere in any other Operative Document to this Section 5 shall be deemed to refer also to Annex B.

Section 6. Liens. Lessee will not, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to the Airframe or any Engine, title thereto or any interest therein or in this Lease except:

(a) the respective rights of the parties to the Operative Documents as provided therein;

(b) the rights of others under agreements or arrangements to the extent expressly permitted by this Lease;

(d) Liens for Taxes that either are not yet overdue or are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings so long as such proceedings do not involve any material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Airframe or any Engine, title thereto or any interest therein or any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty against Lessor or Owner Participant;

(e) materialmen’s, mechanics’, workers’, landlord’s, repairmen’s, employees’ or other like Liens arising in the ordinary course of business (including those arising under maintenance agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business) securing obligations that either are not yet overdue for a period of more than 60 days or are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings so long as such proceedings do not involve any material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Airframe or any Engine, title thereto or any interest therein or any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty against Lessor or Owner Participant;

(f) Liens (other than Liens for Taxes) arising out of any judgment or award (i) for 60 days after the entry of such judgment or award, provided that during such 60-day period there is no material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Airframe or any Engine, title thereto or any interest therein or any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty against Lessor or Owner Participant, or (ii) during an appeal or other proceeding for review regarding such judgment or award with respect to which there shall have been secured a stay of execution pending such appeal or review;

(g) salvage or similar rights of insurers under insurance policies maintained pursuant to Section 11;

(h) the respective rights of the financing parties under any financing arrangements entered into by Lessor or Owner Participant with respect to the Aircraft at any time, including, without limitation arrangements permitted by Section 8.3 of the Participation Agreement;

Section 7. Registration, Maintenance and Operation; Possession; Insignia.

(a) Registration, Maintenance and Operation. Lessee, at its expense, shall:

(i) subject to the further provisions of this Section 7, cause the Aircraft to remain duly registered at the FAA in the name of Lessor, as owner, except:

(A) as otherwise required by the Transportation Code, or

(B) to the extent that such registration cannot be maintained (x) because of the failure of Lessor or Owner Participant to comply with the citizenship or other eligibility requirements for registration of aircraft under the Transportation Code or with Section 6.3.1 or 6.4.4 of the Participation Agreement or (y) because of the failure by Lessor or Owner Participant to execute and deliver, upon request of Lessee, any documents required for the renewal of such registration;

provided that Lessor and Owner Participant shall execute and deliver all such documents as may be required by the FAA from time to time for the purpose of effecting and continuing such registration, and shall not register the Aircraft or permit the Aircraft to be registered under any laws other than the United States at any time except as provided in the following proviso; and provided, further, that Lessee may at any time, with the prior written consent of Owner Participant (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), subject to satisfaction of the Re-registration Conditions or waiver of any thereof by Owner Participant, cause the Aircraft or permit the Aircraft to be registered under the applicable statutes of any country in which a Permitted Sublessee could be based, in the name of Lessor or, if required by applicable Law, in the name of any other Person, and Lessor and Owner Participant shall cooperate with Lessee’s reasonable requests in effecting and continuing such foreign registration, and Lessee shall maintain such registration unless and until the Aircraft is re-registered in accordance with this Section 7;

(ii) cause the Aircraft to be maintained, serviced, repaired, reconditioned, overhauled, stored and tested in accordance with Lessee’s maintenance program for aircraft of the same make and model, which shall be an FAA Part 121 approved program (the “Maintenance Program”) (or, if the Aircraft is then registered in accordance with the terms of the Operative Documents in another country or shall be subleased to a Permitted Sublessee, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Lease, an Approved Program) and, except during any Sublease Period, in the same manner and with the same care used by Lessee with respect to comparable

[A319/320/321]¹ aircraft and engines owned or operated by Lessee and utilized in similar circumstances (and, during any Sublease Period, by a maintenance performer appropriately approved by the FAA or EASA of recognized standing, experience and facilities to perform the relevant work on aircraft of the same make and model as the Aircraft and in the same manner and with the same care used by the Permitted Sublessee with respect to comparable [A319/320/321]² aircraft and engines owned or operated by the Permitted Sublessee and utilized in similar circumstances) so as to keep the Aircraft in the same operating condition as when delivered to Lessee hereunder (ordinary wear and tear excepted);

(iii) cause the Aircraft to be kept in such condition as may be necessary to enable an airworthiness certification of the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times (other than during temporary periods of storage of not more than 90 calendar days in accordance with applicable regulations or during periods of grounding by applicable governmental authorities, except where such periods of grounding are the result of the failure by Lessee to maintain the Aircraft as otherwise required herein) under the Transportation Code or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered;

(iv) cause all records, logs and other documentation with respect to the Aircraft to be maintained as required by the FAA or the applicable central authority of the jurisdiction where the Aircraft is registered to be maintained in respect of the Aircraft (all such records, logs and other documentation to be maintained in the English language);

(v) maintain and update a [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] cross-reference table indicating for each of the Maintenance Program tasks the corresponding MPD reference task (if any); and

(vi) cause to be furnished to Lessor (A) such information that is readily available without undue expense as may be reasonably requested by Lessor to enable Lessor to file any reports, filings or statements required to be filed by Lessor with the FAA (or the aeronautical authority of the country of registry of the Aircraft if the Aircraft is not registered under the laws of the United States) because of Lessor’s interest in the Aircraft, and (B) such other information concerning the location, condition, use and operation of the Aircraft as Lessor may reasonably request.

Lessee agrees that it will comply with all mandatory airworthiness directives issued by the FAA (or the appropriate authorities in the jurisdiction where the Aircraft is registered) (each, an “AD” and collectively, “ADs”) in respect of the Aircraft which require compliance no later

¹	Specific aircraft type to be specified in each Lease.

²	Specific aircraft type to be specified in each Lease.

than the last day of the Term, as and to the extent required by such ADs and the Maintenance Program prior to such date. Lessee shall not be required to comply with any manufacturer service bulletins, except as and to the extent required by the Maintenance Program prior to the last day of the Term.

The Aircraft will not be maintained, used or operated in violation of any law, rule, regulation or order of any government or governmental authority having jurisdiction in any country in which the Aircraft is flown, or in violation of any AD, license or registration relating to the Aircraft issued by any such authority; provided that Lessee may in good faith contest the validity or application of any such law, rule, regulation, order, airworthiness certificate, license or registration or any AD referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph in any reasonable manner which does not materially adversely affect Lessor or Owner Participant or their respective interests in the Aircraft or any Operative Document, or involve any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty against Lessor or Owner Participant; and provided, further, that Lessee shall not be in default under this sentence if it is not possible for Lessee to comply with the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (or other than any jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered) because of a conflict with the applicable laws of the United States (or such jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered) in which event Lessee shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Aircraft to be removed, as soon as practicable, from the jurisdiction other than the United States (or other than the jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered) creating the conflict or take such other reasonable action (including, if necessary, changing the registration of the Aircraft unless the Aircraft is then registered in the United States), as soon as practicable, as may be necessary to avoid the conflict.

Lessee may operate or allow the Aircraft to be operated anywhere in the world, except that Lessee agrees not to operate or locate the Aircraft, or suffer the Aircraft to be operated or located:

(A) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 11, except in the case of a requisition for use by the U.S. government where Lessee obtains indemnity in lieu of such insurance from the U.S. government against the risks and in the amounts required by Section 11 covering such area, or

(B) in any war zone or recognized or, in Lessee’s reasonable judgment, threatened area of hostilities unless covered by war risk insurance or unless the Aircraft is operated or used under contract with the U.S. government under which contract the U.S. government assumes liability for loss of, damage to, or loss of use of, the Aircraft and for injury to persons or damage to property of others.

(b) Possession. Lessee will not, without the prior written consent of Lessor, sublease or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer or relinquish possession of the Airframe or any Engine or install any Engine, or permit any Engine to be installed, on any airframe other than the Airframe; provided that Lessee or a Person permitted to be in possession of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine may, without the prior consent of Lessor:

(i) [Intentionally Left Blank.]

(ii) deliver possession of the Airframe or any Engine to any Person for testing, service, repair, reconditioning, restoration, storage, maintenance, overhaul work or other similar purposes or for alterations, modifications or additions to the Airframe or such Engine to the extent required or permitted by the terms of this Lease;

(iii) transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the U.S. government pursuant to a sublease, contract or other instrument, a copy of which shall be furnished to Lessor; provided that the term of such sublease (including, without limitation, any option of the sublessee to renew or extend) or the term of possession under such contract or other instrument shall not continue beyond the end of the Basic Term or any Renewal Term then in effect or any Renewal Term that Lessee has irrevocably notified Lessor that it will exercise;

(iv) subject the Airframe or any Engine to the CRAF Program or transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine at any time to the U.S. government or any instrumentality or agency thereof in accordance with applicable laws, rulings, regulations or orders (including, without limitation, the CRAF Program); provided that Lessee (A) shall promptly notify Lessor upon transferring possession of the Airframe or any Engine pursuant to this clause (iv) and (B) in the case of a transfer of possession pursuant to the CRAF Program, within 60 days thereof, shall notify Lessor of the name, address and phone number of the responsible Contracting Office Representative for the Air Mobility Command of the U.S. Air Force or other appropriate Person to whom notices must be given with respect to such Airframe or Engine;

(v) install an Engine on an airframe owned by Lessee free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens and 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 (but not to the airframe as an entirety);

(vi) install an Engine on an airframe leased, purchased or owned by Lessee subject to a lease, conditional sale or other security agreement; provided that (A) such airframe is free and clear of all Liens except (1) the rights of the parties to the lease or conditional sale or other security agreement covering such airframe and (2) Liens of the type permitted by clause (v) above and (B) either (1) there shall have been obtained from the lessor, conditional vendor or secured party of such airframe a written agreement (which may be the lease or conditional sale or other security agreement covering such airframe), in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor (it being understood that an agreement from such lessor, conditional vendor or secured party substantially in the form of Section 4(f) shall be deemed to be satisfactory to Lessor) whereby such lessor, conditional vendor or secured party expressly agrees that it will not acquire or claim any right, title or interest in any Engine by reason of such Engine being installed on such airframe at any time while such Engine is subject to this Lease or title thereto is held by Lessor or (2) such lease, conditional sale or other security agreement effectively provides that such Engine shall not become subject to the Lien of such lease, conditional sale or other security agreement at any time while such Engine is subject to this Lease or title thereto is held by Lessor, notwithstanding the installation thereof on such airframe;

(vii) install an Engine on an airframe owned by Lessee, leased to Lessee or owned by Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement under circumstances where neither clause (v) nor clause (vi) is applicable; provided that, if such installation shall divest Lessor’s title to such Engine, such installation shall be deemed an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine and Lessee shall comply with Section 8(d) in respect thereof, it being understood that Lessor does not intend hereby to waive any right or interest it may have to or in such Engine under applicable law until compliance by Lessee with such Section 8(d); and

(viii) sublease any Engine or the Airframe and Engines or engines then installed on the Airframe; provided that (A) such sublease will be to a Permitted Sublessee; (B) the sublessee is not then subject to any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or similar proceeding and shall not have substantially all of its property in the possession of any liquidator, trustee, receiver or similar person; (C) the term of such sublease (including, without limitation, any option of the sublessee to renew or extend) shall not continue beyond the end of the Basic Term or any Renewal Term then in effect or any Renewal Term that Lessee has irrevocably notified Lessor that it will exercise; (D) such sublease shall require the sublessee to maintain such Engine or such Airframe and Engines, as the case may be (or cause such Engine or such Airframe and Engines, as the case may be, to be maintained) pursuant to an Approved Program and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Lease; and (E) Lessor and Owner Participant shall have received assurances reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant to the effect that the insurance provisions of the Lease shall have been complied with after giving effect to such sublease;

provided that the rights of any transferee who receives possession by reason of a transfer permitted by this subsection (b) (other than the transfer of an Engine which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall be, during the period of such possession, subject and subordinate to, and any sublease permitted by this subsection (b) shall be made expressly subject and subordinate to, all the terms of this Lease, including, without limitation, Lessor’s rights to repossession pursuant to Section 15 and to avoid and terminate such sublease upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and Lessee shall in all events remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance and observance of all the terms and conditions of this Lease (including, without limitation, the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7(a)(ii) and Section 11) to the same extent as if such sublease or transfer had not occurred, and that any such sublease shall provide that (except with respect to a sublease to a Permitted Sublessee described in clause (i) of the definition thereof) the sublessee may not further sub-sublease the Aircraft. No sublease or other relinquishment of possession of the Airframe or any Engine shall in any way discharge or diminish any of Lessee’s obligations to Lessor hereunder. Lessee shall, prior to entering into a sublease of the Airframe or Engines, notify Lessor of the identity of the sublessee and the term of such sublease, and provide Lessor with a copy of such sublease; provided that the identity of the sublessee and the existence and terms of such sublease shall be Confidential Information and shall be held by Lessor in accordance with the provisions of Section 23. Any sublease having a term (including available renewal terms) in excess of 12 months shall be assigned to Lessor as additional security for the

obligations of Lessee hereunder (such assignment to be on such terms and subject to such conditions (including the making of registrations with the International Registry and filings and notifications with the FAA or other applicable governmental authority) as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee).

Lessor acknowledges that any “wet lease” or other similar arrangement under which Lessee maintains operational control of the Aircraft shall not constitute a delivery, transfer or relinquishment of possession for purposes of this subsection (b). No “wet lease” will extend beyond the Basic Term or any Renewal Term then in effect or any Renewal Term that Lessee has irrevocably notified Lessor that it will exercise.

(c) Insignia. No later than 30 days following the Delivery Date, Lessee shall affix and shall thereafter during the Term maintain in the cockpit of the Airframe adjacent to the airworthiness certificate therein and (if not prevented by applicable law or regulations or by any governmental authority) on each Engine a metal nameplate bearing the legible inscription “TITLE TO THIS AIRCRAFT/ENGINE IS HELD BY XXXXX FARGO BANK NORTHWEST, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, NOT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, BUT SOLELY AS OWNER TRUSTEE, AS LESSOR, WHICH HAS LEASED THIS AIRCRAFT/ENGINE TO AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.”, such nameplate to be replaced, if need be, with a nameplate reflecting the name of any successor Owner Trustee. Except as provided above, Lessee will not allow the name of any Person to be placed on the Airframe or on any Engine as a designation that constitutes a claim of ownership; provided that nothing herein contained shall prohibit Lessee from placing its customary colors and insignia (and those of any code-sharing partner or the oneworld global alliance or any member thereof) on such Airframe or Engine or displaying information concerning the registration of the Aircraft.

Section 8. Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations, Modifications and Additions; Substitution of Engines.

(a) Replacement of Parts. Lessee, at its own cost and expense, will promptly replace or cause to be replaced all Parts which may from time to time be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine and which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) or if the Airframe or any Engine to which a Part relates has suffered an Event of Loss. In addition, Lessee may, at its own cost and expense, remove or cause to be removed in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use; provided that Lessee, except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), will, at its own cost and expense, replace or cause to be replaced such Parts as promptly as practicable. All replacement parts shall be free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Liens) and shall as good operating condition as, and shall have a value and utility at least equal to, the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and state of repair required by the terms hereof. Title to all Parts at any time removed from the Airframe or any Engine shall remain vested in Lessor, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by Parts which have been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine and which meet the requirements for replacement parts specified above. Immediately upon any

replacement part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine as above provided, without further act, (i) title to the replaced Part shall thereupon vest in Lessee, free and clear of all right, title and interest of Lessor and of Lessor’s Liens and Liens of the type described in Section 6(h), and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder, (ii) title to such replacement part shall thereupon vest in Lessor free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens) and (iii) such replacement part shall become subject to this Lease and be deemed part of the Airframe or such Engine, and a Part, for all purposes to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine.

(b) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Airframe or an Engine as provided in subsection (a) may be subjected by Lessee or a Person permitted hereunder to be in possession of the Aircraft to a pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry entered into in the ordinary course of Lessee’s or such other Person’s business; provided that a part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine in accordance with subsection (a) as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part, but in any case before the last day of the Term. In addition, any replacement Part when incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or an Engine in accordance with subsection (a) may be owned by a third party subject to such a pooling arrangement; provided that Lessee, at its expense, as promptly thereafter as practicable, either (i) causes title to such replacement Part to vest in Lessor in accordance with subsection (a) by Lessee (or any such Person) acquiring title thereto for the benefit of, and transferring such title to, Lessor free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) or (ii) replaces or causes to be replaced such replacement Part by incorporating or installing in or attaching to the Airframe or such Engine a further replacement Part owned by Lessee (or any such Person) free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and otherwise satisfying the requirements of subsection (a) above, and by causing title to such further replacement Part to vest in Lessor in accordance with subsection (a).

(c) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. Lessee will make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe, the Engines and the Parts as may be required from time to time to meet the applicable standards of the FAA or other applicable regulatory agency or body of the foreign jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered as permitted by Section 7(a); provided that Lessee may in good faith contest the validity or application of any such standard in any reasonable manner which does not materially adversely affect Lessor, Owner Participant or their respective interests in the Aircraft or involve any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty against Lessor or Owner Participant. In addition, Lessee, at its own expense, may from time to time make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe, any Engine or any Part as Lessee may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including without limitation, removal of Parts that Lessee deems to be obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on the Airframe or such Engine (such Parts, “Obsolete Parts”); provided that no such alteration, modification, addition or removal shall materially diminish the value (except as described in the last proviso of this sentence) or utility of the Airframe or such Engine, or impair the condition or airworthiness thereof, below the value, utility, condition and airworthiness thereof immediately prior to such alteration, modification, addition or removal assuming the Airframe or such Engine was then of the value and utility and in the condition and airworthiness required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease; provided that the value (but not the utility, condition or airworthiness) of the Aircraft may be reduced by the value of the Obsolete Parts which shall have been

removed, if the aggregate value of all such Obsolete Parts removed from the Aircraft and not replaced in accordance with the terms of this Section 8 shall not exceed the amount specified in Schedule A to the Participation Agreement. Title to all Parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or any Engine or Part as the result of such alteration, modification or addition shall, without further act, vest in Lessor. Lessor shall not be required under any circumstances to pay or compensate Lessee for any such alteration, modification or addition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, at any time during the Term, remove any Part; provided that (i) such Part is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached (or which should have been incorporated or installed in or attached) to the Airframe or such Engine at the time of delivery thereof to Lessee on the Delivery Date or any Part in replacement of, or substitution for, any such Part, (ii) such Part is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to such Airframe or Engine pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (c) and (iii) such Part can be removed from the Airframe or such Engine without materially diminishing or impairing the value, utility, condition or airworthiness required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease which the Airframe or such Engine would have had at such time had such Part never been installed on the Airframe or such Engine. Upon the removal by Lessee of any Part as provided in the immediately preceding sentence or the removal of any Obsolete Part permitted by this subsection (c), title thereto shall, without further act, vest in Lessee, free and clear of all right, title and interest of Lessor and of Lessor’s Liens, and such Part shall no longer be deemed part of the Airframe or the Engine from which it was removed. Title to any Part not removed by Lessee as provided in such second preceding sentence prior to the return of the Airframe or such Engine to Lessor hereunder shall remain vested in Lessor.

(d) Substitution of Engines.

(i) Lessee shall have the right at its option at any time, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on at least 30 days’ prior notice to Lessor, to terminate this Lease with respect to any Engine by substituting a Replacement Engine for such Engine (it being understood that the Return Conditions shall apply, in lieu of this Section 8(d), to any substitutions that occur pursuant to Section I of Annex B). In addition, if an Event of Loss shall have occurred or shall have been deemed to have occurred pursuant to Section 7(b) or Section 10(d) with respect to an Engine (other than an Event of Loss that also includes the Airframe, in which event Section 10(a) shall apply), Lessee shall within 60 days of the occurrence of such Event of Loss and on at least five days’ prior notice to Lessor substitute a Replacement Engine for such Engine (any such Engine suffering such Event of Loss or being substituted pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, a “Replaced Engine”). Any such Replacement Engine will have value and utility at least equal to (but in any event without regard to the number of hours or cycles) the Replaced Engine (assuming that such Replaced Engine was of the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Loss); provided that, if any Replacement Engine is being substituted for a Replaced Engine pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, any such Replacement Engine will have value and utility at least equal to (taking into account the number of hours or cycles since new or overhaul, whichever is more recent) the Replaced Engine (assuming that such Replaced Engine was of the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to such substitution). No Event of Loss with respect to an Engine shall result in any reduction in Basic Rent.

(ii) Prior to or at the time of any such substitution, Lessee shall:

(A) furnish Lessor with a warranty (as to title) xxxx of sale (which warranty shall except Permitted Liens) with respect to such Replacement Engine, which in the case of any such conveyance to which the Cape Town Treaty is applicable shall be in such form as will qualify as a “contract of sale” pursuant to Article V of the Aircraft Protocol;

(B) if the seller of such Replacement Engine is “situated in” a country that has ratified the Cape Town Treaty, cause the sale of such Replacement Engine to Lessor to be registered on the International Registry as a Sale (or, if the seller of such Replacement Engine is not situated in a country that has ratified the Cape Town Treaty, use reasonable efforts to cause the seller to register the sale of such Replacement Engine on the International Registry);

(C) cause a Lease Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit A, subjecting such Replacement Engine to this Lease, and duly executed by Lessee, to be delivered to Lessor for execution (and Lessor shall promptly execute such Lease Supplement) and, upon such execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Transportation Code or, if necessary, pursuant to the applicable laws of such jurisdiction other than the United States in which the Aircraft is registered, as the case may be;

(D) cause the International Interest created pursuant to the Lease Supplement in favor of Lessor with respect to such Replacement Engine to be registered on the International Registry as an International Interest;

(E) furnish Lessor with such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 11 with respect to such Replacement Engine as Lessor may reasonably request; and

(F) (x) if such Replacement Engine is being substituted for a Replaced Engine pursuant to the first sentence of Section 8(d)(i), furnish Lessor with a certificate of an aircraft engineer or appraiser (who may be an employee of Lessee) certifying that such Replacement Engine has a value and utility (taking into account the number of hours or cycles since new or overhaul, whichever is more recent) at least equal to, and is in as good operating condition as, the Engine so replaced assuming such Engine was in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof; and (y) if such Replacement Engine is being substituted for a Replaced Engine pursuant to the second sentence of Section 8(d)(i), furnish Lessor with a certificate of an aircraft engineer or appraiser (who may be an employee of Lessee) certifying that such Replacement Engine has a value and utility (but in any event without regard to the number of hours or cycles) at least equal to, and is in as good operating condition as, the Engine so replaced assuming such Engine was in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof.

Promptly following the recordation of the Lease Supplement covering such Replacement Engine pursuant to the Transportation Code (or pursuant to the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is registered) described in clause (C) and the registrations on the International Registry described in clauses (B) and (D), Lessee will cause to be delivered to Lessor an opinion of Aviation Counsel as to such recordation and registration.

(iii) Upon full compliance by Lessee with the terms of subsection (ii), Lessor will transfer to Lessee or its designee the Replaced Engine in accordance with Section 4(g). For all purposes hereof, each Replacement Engine shall, after delivery of the warranty (as to title) xxxx of sale with respect to such Replacement Engine to Lessor, be deemed part of the property leased hereunder, and be deemed an “Engine” as defined herein, and such Replaced Engine shall cease to be an Engine leased hereunder.

(e) Excluded Equipment. Lessee may install in, and remove from, the Aircraft any Excluded Equipment, and in any such case, Lessor will not acquire or claim any right, title or interest in any such Excluded Equipment as a result of its installation on the Aircraft; provided that in connection with any removal of Excluded Equipment, Lessee shall repair any damage to the Aircraft caused by such removal and shall restore the applicable areas from which such Excluded Equipment was removed to a serviceable condition appropriate for commercial passenger service by Lessee.

Section 9. [Intentionally Left Blank].

Section 10. Loss, Destruction, Requisition, etc.

(a) Event of Loss with Respect to the Airframe. Upon the occurrence during the Term of an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe, Lessee shall within 15 days after such occurrence give Lessor notice of such Event of Loss, and Lessee shall, on the Loss Payment Date, pay, or cause to be paid, (A) to Lessor, the Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft and (B) to the Persons entitled thereto, all Supplemental Rent other than Stipulated Loss Value due and owing on such Loss Payment Date; provided that (x) if the Loss Payment Date is a Lease Period Date, Lessee shall have no obligation to pay the installment of Basic Rent that would otherwise be due and payable on such Lease Period Date and (y) if the Loss Payment Date is not a Lease Period Date, Lessee shall be entitled to credit against its obligation to pay Stipulated Loss Value the portion of the installment of Basic Rent allocable to the period from (and including) such Loss Payment Date to (but not including) the next succeeding Lease Period Date, or if no Lease Period Date succeeds such Loss Payment Date, the last day of the Term.

The “Loss Payment Date” with respect to an Event of Loss means the 90th day following the date of the occurrence of such Event of Loss.

In the event of payment in full of the Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft and all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10(a):

(i) the obligation of Lessee to pay Basic Rent hereunder on any Lease Period Date occurring on or subsequent to the Loss Payment Date shall terminate;

(ii) the obligation of Lessee to pay Supplemental Rent (other than payments of Supplemental Rent for indemnities surviving pursuant to Section 7.3.1 of the Participation Agreement or to be made by Lessee in respect of liabilities and obligations of Lessee which have accrued but not been paid or which are in dispute as of the date of such payment) shall terminate;

(iii) the Term shall end; and

(iv) Lessor shall transfer the Aircraft to Lessee or its designee in accordance with Section 4(g).

(b) Payments with Respect to Events of Loss. Any payments (other than insurance proceeds, the application of which is provided for in Section 11) received at any time by Lessor or by Lessee from any governmental authority or other Person with respect to an Event of Loss to the Airframe or any Engine will be applied as follows:

(i) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe (or the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe), (A) such payments shall, after reimbursement of Lessor for costs and expenses, be applied in reduction of Lessee’s obligation to pay the Stipulated Loss Value and other amounts required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to subsection (a), if not already paid by Lessee or, if already paid by Lessee, shall be applied to reimburse Lessee for its payment of Stipulated Loss Value and such other amounts, and (B) the balance, if any, of such payment remaining thereafter will be apportioned between Lessee (or its designee) and Lessor as their interests may appear; and

(ii) if such payments are received with respect to an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under circumstances contemplated by Section 8(d), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee or its designee; provided that, in the case of an Engine with respect to which an Event of Loss shall have occurred or shall have been deemed to have occurred pursuant to Section 7(b) or Section 10(d), Lessee shall have fully performed the terms of Section 8(d) with respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.

(c) Requisition for Use of the Airframe Not Constituting an Event of Loss. In the event of the requisition for use by the U.S. government (including for this purpose any agency or instrumentality thereof), including, without limitation, pursuant to the CRAF Program, of the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed thereon during the Term not constituting an Event of Loss, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of such requisition, and all of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease with respect to the Aircraft shall (to the extent feasible with respect to obligations other than payment obligations) continue to the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred.

All payments received by Lessor or Lessee from the U.S. government for the use of the Airframe and such Engines or engines during the Term shall be paid over to, or retained by,

Lessee or its designee; and all payments received by Lessor or Lessee from the U.S. government for the use of the Airframe and such Engines or engines after the Term shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessor; provided that if such requisition constitutes an Event of Loss, then all such payments shall be applied as provided in Section 10(b).

(d) Requisition for Use by a Government of an Engine. In the event of the requisition for use by the U.S. government (including for this purpose any agency or instrumentality thereof), for a period in excess of 60 days, of any Engine (but not the Airframe) during the Term not constituting an Event of Loss, Lessee will replace such Engine hereunder by substituting another engine for such Engine in accordance with the terms of Section 8(d) to the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to such Engine, and any payments received by Lessor or Lessee from the U.S. government with respect to such requisition shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee or its designee.

(e) Application of Payments During Existence of Event of Default. Any amount referred to in subsection (b), subsection (c) or subsection (d) which is payable to Lessee or its designee shall not be paid to Lessee or its designee (or, if it has been previously paid directly to Lessee, shall not be retained by Lessee), if at the time of such payment an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be paid to and held by Lessor pursuant to Section 22 as security for the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, and at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default such amount shall be paid to Lessee or its designee.

(f) Event of Loss with Respect to Engine. Upon the occurrence during the Term of an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine (other than an Event of Loss that also includes the Airframe, in which event Section 10(a) shall apply), the parties shall comply with the terms of Section 8(d) with respect thereto.

Section 11. Insurance.

(a) Aircraft Liability Insurance.

(i) Except as provided in clause (ii) of this subsection (a) and subject to self-insurance to the extent specified in subsection (c), Lessee will carry, or cause to be carried at no expense to the Specified Persons, aircraft liability insurance (including, but not limited to, bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability, exclusive of manufacturer’s product liability insurance) and contractual liability insurance with respect to the Aircraft (x) in amounts per occurrence that are not less than the aircraft liability insurance applicable to similar aircraft and engines in Lessee’s fleet on which Lessee carries insurance (provided that such liability insurance (including self-insurance specified in subsection (c)) shall not be less than the amount per occurrence certified in the insurance report delivered to Lessor on the Delivery Date)³; (y) of the type usually

³	Amount to be certified shall be no less than [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

carried by corporations engaged in the same or similar business, similarly situated with Lessee, and operating similar aircraft and engines and covering risks of the kind customarily insured against by Lessee; and (z) that is maintained in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility; provided that Lessee will carry, or cause to be carried, at no expense to the Specified Persons, aircraft liability war risk and allied perils insurance, if and only to the extent the same is maintained by Lessee with respect to other aircraft operated by Lessee on the same routes. Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with this subsection (a) and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any of such policies shall (A) name the Specified Persons as additional insureds; (B) subject to the conditions of clause (C) below, provide that, in respect of the interests of the Specified Persons in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of Lessee and shall insure the respective interests of the Specified Persons as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by Lessee; (C) provide that, except to the extent not provided for by the war risk and allied perils insurance provider, if such insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, or if any change is made in the policy that reduces the amount of insurance or the coverage certified in the insurance report delivered to the Specified Persons on the Delivery Date or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to any Specified Person for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is customarily available in the industry, in the case of any war risk or allied perils coverage) after receipt by such Specified Person of written notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change or lapse; (D) provide that the Specified Persons shall not have any obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance; (E) provide that the insurers shall waive any rights of (1) set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the Specified Persons to the extent of any moneys due to the Specified Persons and (2) subrogation against the Specified Persons to the extent that Lessee has waived its rights by its agreements to indemnify the Specified Persons pursuant hereto or in the other Operative Documents; (F) be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by any Specified Person; and (G) expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured. In the case of a sublease or contract with the U.S. government in respect of the Aircraft or any Engine, or in the case of any requisition for use of the Aircraft or any Engine by the U.S. government, a valid agreement by the U.S. government to indemnify Lessee, or an insurance policy issued by the U.S. government, against any risks that Lessee is required hereunder to insure against shall be considered adequate insurance for purposes of this subsection (a) to the extent of the risks (and in the amounts) that are the subject of such indemnification or insurance. The insurance provisions set forth above for the benefit of the Specified Persons shall only apply to the extent that Lessee has agreed to indemnify such Specified Person pursuant to the Operative Documents or a consent and acknowledgement referred to in Section 8.3.2(b) of the Participation Agreement and then only in such Specified Person’s capacity as Lessor, Trust Company, Owner Participant or Back-Leveraging Indemnified Person, as applicable. To the extent that the war-risk and allied perils insurance provider does not provide for provision of direct notice to Specified Persons of cancellation,

change or lapse in the insurance required hereunder, Lessee hereby agrees that upon receipt of notice of any thereof from such insurance provider it shall give the Specified Persons immediate notice of each cancellation or lapse of, or material change to, such insurance.

(ii) During any period that the Airframe or an Engine, as the case may be, is on the ground and not in operation, Lessee may carry or cause to be carried as to such non-operating Airframe or Engine, in lieu of the insurance required by clause (i) above, and subject to self-insurance to the extent specified in subsection (c), insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said clause (i) except that: (A) the amounts of coverage shall not be required to exceed the amounts of airline liability insurance from time to time applicable to airframes or engines owned or leased by Lessee of the same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not in operation and (B) the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time applicable to airframes or engines owned or leased by Lessee of the same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not in operation.

(b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage to Aircraft.

(i) Except as provided in clause (ii) of this subsection (b), and subject to self-insurance to the extent specified in subsection (c), Lessee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility, at no expense to the Specified Persons, all-risk aircraft hull insurance covering the Aircraft and all-risk coverage with respect to any Engines or Parts while removed from the Aircraft (including, without limitation, war risk and allied perils insurance if and to the extent the same is maintained by Lessee or, in the case of a sublease to a Permitted Sublessee, such Permitted Sublessee, with respect to other aircraft operated by Lessee or such Permitted Sublessee, as the case may be, on the same routes) that is of the type usually carried by corporations engaged in the same or similar business and similarly situated with Lessee; provided that (x) such insurance (including self-insurance specified in subsection (c)) will at all times while the Aircraft is subject to this Lease be for an amount not less than the Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft from time to time and (y) such insurance need not cover an Engine while attached to an airframe not owned, leased or operated by Lessee. Any policies carried in accordance with this subsection (b) and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies shall (A) provide that any insurance proceeds up to an amount equal to the Stipulated Loss Value, payable for any loss or damage constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, and any insurance proceeds in excess of the Insurance Threshold Amount, up to the amount of the Stipulated Loss Value, for any loss or damage to the Aircraft (or Engines) not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, shall be paid to the Loss Payee, and that all other amounts shall be payable to Lessee or its designee unless the insurer shall have received notice that an Event of Default exists, in which case all insurance proceeds for any loss or damage to the Aircraft (or Engines) up to the Stipulated Loss Value shall be payable to the Loss Payee; (B) subject to the conditions of clause (C) below, provide that, in respect of the interests of the Specified Persons in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of Lessee and shall insure

their respective interests as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by Lessee; (C) provide that, except to the extent not provided by the war risk and allied perils insurance provider, if such insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, or if any change is made in the policy that reduces the amount of insurance or the coverage certified in the insurance report delivered to the Specified Persons on the Delivery Date or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to any Specified Person for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is customarily available in the industry, in the case of any war risk or allied perils coverage) after receipt by such Specified Person of written notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change or lapse; (D) provide that the Specified Persons shall not have any obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such insurance; (E) provide that the insurers shall waive any rights of (1) set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the Specified Persons to the extent of any moneys due to the Specified Persons and (2) subrogation against the Specified Persons to the extent that Lessee has waived its rights by its agreements to indemnify the Specified Persons pursuant hereto or in the other Operative Documents; and (F) be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by any Specified Person. In the case of a sublease or contract with the U.S. government in respect of the Aircraft or any Engine, or in the case of any requisition for use of the Aircraft or any Engine by the U.S. government, a valid agreement by the U.S. government to indemnify Lessee, or an insurance policy issued by the U.S. government, against any risks that Lessee is required hereunder to insure against shall be considered adequate insurance for purposes of this subsection (b) to the extent of the risks (and in the amounts) that are the subject of such indemnification or insurance. The insurance provisions set forth above for the benefit of the Specified Persons shall only apply to the extent that Lessee has agreed to indemnify such Specified Person pursuant to the Operative Documents or a consent and acknowledgement referred to in Section 8.3.2(b) of the Participation Agreement and then only in such Specified Person’s capacity as Lessor, Trust Company, Owner Participant or Back-Leveraging Indemnified Person, as applicable. To the extent that the war-risk and allied perils insurance provider does not provide for provision of direct notice to Specified Persons of cancellation, change or lapse in the insurance required hereunder, Lessee hereby agrees that upon receipt of notice of any thereof from such insurance provider it shall give the Specified Persons immediate notice of each cancellation or lapse of, or material change to, such insurance.

(ii) During any period that the Airframe or Engine is on the ground and not in operation, Lessee may carry or cause to be carried as to such non-operating Airframe or Engine, in lieu of the insurance required by clause (i) above, and subject to self-insurance to the extent specified in subsection (c), insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said clause (i) except that the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time applicable to airframes or engines owned or leased by Lessee of the same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not in operation; provided that, subject to self-insurance to the extent permitted by subsection (c), Lessee shall maintain insurance against risk of loss or damage to such non-operating Airframe in an amount at least equal to the Stipulated Loss Value during such period that such Airframe is on the ground and not in operation.

(c) Self-Insurance. Lessee may from time to time self-insure, by way of deductible, self-insured retention, premium adjustment or franchise or otherwise (including, with respect to insurance maintained pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) above, insuring for a maximum amount that is less than the amounts required by subsection (a) or (b)), the risks required to be insured against pursuant to subsection (a) or (b), but in no case shall such self-insurance with respect to all of the aircraft and engines in Lessee’s fleet (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for any 12-month policy year 1% of the average aggregate insurable value (for the preceding policy year) of all aircraft (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) on which Lessee carries insurance unless Lessee’s independent aircraft insurance broker certifies that the standard among major U.S. airlines is a higher level of self insurance, in which event Lessee may self insure the Aircraft to such higher level; provided that a deductible per occurrence that, in the case of the Aircraft, is not in excess of the amount customarily allowed as a deductible in the industry or is required to facilitate claims handling shall be permitted in addition to the above-mentioned self-insurance.

(d) Application of Insurance Payments. All losses will be adjusted by Lessee with the insurers. All insurance payments received under policies required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder, exclusive of any payments received in excess of the Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft from such policies, as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or an Engine will be applied as follows:

(i) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe (or the Airframe and the Engines installed on the Airframe), so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of Lessor for its costs and expenses shall be applied (A) in reduction of Lessee’s obligation to pay the Stipulated Loss Value and other amounts required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to Section 10(a), if not already paid by Lessee, or, if already paid by Lessee, will be applied to reimburse Lessee for its payment of such Stipulated Loss Value and such other amounts, and (B) the balance, if any, of such payment remaining thereafter will be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee or its designee; and

(ii) if such payments are received with respect to an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under the circumstances contemplated by Section 8(d), such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee or its designee; provided that in the case of an Engine with respect to which an Event of Loss shall have occurred or shall have been deemed to have occurred pursuant to Section 7(b) or Section 10(d) Lessee shall have fully performed the terms of Section 8(d) with respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.

In all events, the insurance payment for any loss or damage to the Aircraft in excess of the Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft shall be paid to Lessee or its designee.

The insurance payments for any loss or damage to the Airframe or an Engine not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or such Engine will be applied in

payment (or to reimburse Lessee) for repairs or for replacement property in accordance with the terms of Section 7 and Section 8, and any balance remaining after compliance with such Sections with respect to such loss or damage shall be paid to Lessee or its designee. Any amount referred to in the preceding sentence or in clause (i) or (ii) of the second preceding paragraph which is payable to Lessee or its designee shall not be paid to Lessee or its designee (or, if it has been previously paid directly to Lessee, shall not be retained by Lessee) if at the time of such payment an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be paid to and held by Lessor pursuant to Section 22, as security for the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, and at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default, such amount shall be paid to Lessee or its designee.

(e) Reports, Etc. On or before the Delivery Date, and annually upon renewal of Lessee’s insurance coverage, Lessee will furnish to each Specified Person a report signed by a firm of independent aircraft insurance brokers appointed by Lessee (which firm may be in the regular employ of Lessee), stating the opinion of such firm that the commercial hull and liability insurance then carried and maintained on the Aircraft complies with the terms hereof; provided that all information contained in such report shall be Confidential Information and shall be treated as such by each of the Specified Persons and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees in accordance with the provisions of Section 23. Lessee will cause such firm to agree to advise each Specified Person in writing of any default in the payment of any premium or of any other act or omission on the part of Lessee of which such firm has knowledge and that might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the Aircraft. Lessee will also cause such firm to advise each Specified Person in writing as promptly as practicable after such firm acquires knowledge that an interruption of any insurance carried and maintained on the Aircraft pursuant to this Section will occur.

(f) Salvage Rights; Other. All salvage rights to the Airframe and each Engine shall remain with Lessee’s insurers at all times. Nothing in this Section shall limit or prohibit each Specified Person or Lessee from obtaining insurance for its own account, and at its sole expense, with respect to the Airframe or any Engine, and any proceeds payable under such insurance shall be payable as provided in the insurance policy relating thereto; provided that no such insurance may be obtained which would limit or otherwise adversely affect the coverage or amounts payable under, or increase the premiums for, any insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Section or any other insurance maintained by Lessee (or, in the case of a sublease to a Permitted Sublessee, such Permitted Sublessee) with respect to the Aircraft or any other aircraft in the fleet of Lessee (or such Permitted Sublessee).

Section 12. Inspection.

(a) Annual Inspection of Aircraft. At all reasonable times during the Term (but not more than once annually unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case there shall be no restriction on the number of inspections), upon at least 10 days’ prior written notice to Lessee from Lessor, Lessor or its authorized representative (together with any representative of a potential financing party, lessee or transferee, if applicable, referred to in Section 12(b), the “Inspecting Party”) may at its own expense (other than following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in which case the reasonable expenses of one inspection, as designated by the Lessor, shall be at the expense of Lessee) and

risk (including, without limitation, any risk of personal injury), conduct a non-intrusive, visual walk-around inspection of the Aircraft and any Engine that may include going on board the Aircraft and examining the contents of any open panels, bays or other components of the Aircraft (but shall not include the opening of any unopened panels, bays or other components) and, subject to Section 12(c), may inspect the books and records of Lessee relating to the Aircraft specified in Annex C; provided that (i) the Inspecting Party shall provide, prior to conducting any such inspection, assurances reasonably satisfactory to Lessee that it is fully insured with respect to any risks incurred in connection with any such inspection and, if requested by Lessee, a written release satisfactory to Lessee with respect to such risks; (ii) any such inspection shall be subject to the safety, security and workplace rules applicable at the location where such inspection is conducted and to the requirements of any applicable law; and (iii) all such inspections shall be conducted so as not to interfere with Lessee’s business or the operation or maintenance of the Aircraft, and, in the case of an inspection during a maintenance visit, such inspection shall not in any respect interfere with the normal conduct of such maintenance visit or extend the time required for such maintenance visit (as determined by Lessee in its sole discretion).

Lessor shall not have any duty to make any such inspection and shall not incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making any such inspection. No inspection pursuant to this Section shall relieve Lessee of any of its obligations under this Lease. Lessee will, upon the request of Lessor at any time, notify Lessor of the time and location of the next scheduled heavy maintenance visit to be conducted by Lessee in respect of the Aircraft during the Term; provided that Lessee shall have the right in its sole discretion to reschedule, or change the location of, any heavy maintenance visit of which it shall have notified Lessor pursuant to this sentence, Lessee hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts to notify Lessor of any such rescheduling or change.

(b) Marketing Inspection of Aircraft. In addition to the annual inspection described in Section 12(a), but subject to the other conditions and requirements for inspections set forth in Section 12(a), upon at least 10 days’ prior written notice to Lessee and during times reasonably acceptable to Lessee, in connection with a proposed financing, lease or transfer of the Aircraft or of the Lease or Owner Participant’s interest therein (including the Trust Estate), Lessor or Owner Participant or their respective authorized representatives, and up to two representatives of a potential financing party, lessee or transferee, if applicable, may inspect the Airframe and any Engines installed thereon and, unless Owner Participant has requested electronic records pursuant to Section 12(c), the books and records of Lessee relating thereto specified in Annex C (any such inspection, a “Marketing Inspection”); provided that there shall be no more than two Marketing Inspections in any year. The identity of any potential financing party, lessee or transferee shall be held confidential by Lessee in manner consistent with the terms of Section 10.4 of the Participation Agreement.

(c) Electronic Records. In lieu of the annual physical inspection of the books and records referred to in subsection (a) or physical inspection of the books and records referred in subsection (b), during the Term (but not more than three times annually) Lessor may request that Lessee provide to Lessor some or all of the books and records relating to the Aircraft that are available and are indicated in Annex C as being transmissible in electronic form, and Lessee shall provide such documents in electronic form within 30 days of such request to Lessor.

(d) Confidentiality. All information obtained from Lessee in electronic form or in connection with any inspection shall be Confidential Information and shall be held by Lessor, Owner Participant and any Inspecting Party in accordance with the provisions of Section 23.

(e) Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, in no event shall Lessee be required to permit Lessor, Owner Participant or any Inspecting Party to inspect any portion of the Aircraft or any Engine that Lessee would be prohibited from showing to such Person pursuant to the Export Administration Regulations or any other applicable law or to disclose to any such Person any information with respect to the Aircraft or any Engine that Lessee would be prohibited from disclosing to such Person pursuant to the Export Administration Regulations or any other applicable law.

Section 13. Assignment. Except as expressly permitted by the Participation Agreement and this Lease, Lessee will not, without the prior written consent of Lessor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, Transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder. Except as expressly permitted by the Participation Agreement, this Lease and Article IX of the Trust Agreement, Lessor will not, without the prior written consent of Lessee, Transfer any of its right, title and interest in and to this Lease or the Aircraft. The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lessor and Lessee and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 14. Events of Default. The following events shall constitute Events of Default (whether any such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or come about or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) and each such Event of Default shall be deemed to exist and continue so long as, but only so long as, it shall not have been remedied or waived:

(a) Lessee shall fail to make any payment of Basic Rent (other than the payment of Basic Rent due pursuant to Section U of the Return Conditions) or Stipulated Loss Value within five Business Days after such payment shall be or become due; or

(b) Lessee shall fail to make (i) any payment of Basic Rent due pursuant to Section U of the Return Conditions or (ii) any other payment of Supplemental Rent (including, without limitation, indemnity payments) hereunder (other than those described in subsection (a) above), in either case at the time required to be paid hereunder, and any such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 10 Business Days after receipt by Lessee of written notice of such failure by Lessor; or

(c) Lessee shall fail to carry and maintain insurance on or with respect to the Aircraft in accordance with the provisions of Section 11; provided that, in the case of insurance with respect to which cancellation, change or lapse for nonpayment of premium shall not be effective as to Lessor or Owner Participant for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as may from time to time be customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of any war risk or allied perils coverage) after receipt of notice by Lessor or Owner Participant, as the case may be, of such cancellation, change or lapse, no such failure to carry and maintain insurance shall

constitute an Event of Default until the earlier of (i) the date such failure shall have continued unremedied for a period of 20 days (five days in the case of any war risk or allied perils coverage) after receipt by Lessor or Owner Participant, as the case may be, of the notice of cancellation, change or lapse referred to in Section 11(a)(i)(C) or Section 11(b)(i)(C) or (ii) the date on which such insurance is not in effect as to Lessor or Owner Participant; or

(d) Lessee shall fail to perform or observe any other material covenant, condition or agreement not specified elsewhere in this Section 14 to be performed by it under any Operative Document to which Lessee is a party, and such failure in any such case shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after receipt by Lessee of written notice thereof by Lessor; provided that, if such failure is capable of being remedied, no such failure shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder for a period of 120 days (or, if such failure relates to the performance or observance of any such covenant, condition or agreement contained in Section 7(a), 8(a), 8(b) or 8(c), 180 days) after receipt of such notice so long as Lessee is diligently proceeding to remedy such failure; or

(e) any representation or warranty made by Lessee in any Operative Document to which Lessee is a party or in any document or certificate furnished by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to the terms of any thereof shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect at the time made, and such incorrectness shall continue to be material and shall continue to be unremedied for a period of 30 days after receipt by Lessee of written notice thereof by Lessor; or

(f) Lessee shall consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of itself or of a substantial part of its property or Lessee shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they come due, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

(g) Lessee shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a voluntary petition or an answer seeking reorganization in a proceeding under any bankruptcy laws (as in effect at such time) or any answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against Lessee in any such proceeding, or Lessee shall, by voluntary petition or answer, consent to or seek relief under the provisions of any bankruptcy or other similar law (as in effect at such time) providing for the reorganization or winding-up of corporations, or providing for an agreement, composition, extension or adjustment with its creditors; or

(h) an order, judgment, or decree shall be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction appointing, without the consent of Lessee, a receiver, trustee or liquidator of Lessee or of any substantial part of its property, or sequestering any substantial part of the property of Lessee, and any such order, judgment or decree of appointment or sequestration shall remain in force undismissed, unstayed or unvacated for a period of 90 days after the date of entry thereof; or

(i) a petition against Lessee in a proceeding under the federal bankruptcy laws or other insolvency laws (as in effect at such time) shall be filed and shall not be withdrawn or dismissed within 90 days thereafter, or, under the provisions of any law providing for reorganization or winding-up of corporations which may apply to Lessee, any court of competent

jurisdiction shall assume jurisdiction, custody or control of Lessee or of any substantial part of its property and such jurisdiction, custody or control shall remain in force unrelinquished, unstayed or unterminated for a period of 90 days; or

(j) an “Event of Default” under a Related Lease, if any, shall have occurred and be continuing.

provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, any failure of Lessee to perform or observe any covenant, condition, or agreement herein shall not constitute an Event of Default if such observance is prevented solely by reason of an event referred to in the definition of Event of Loss so long as Lessee is continuing to comply with the applicable terms of Section 10.

Section 15. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, Lessor may, at its option, declare this Lease to be in default by a written notice to Lessee (provided that this Lease shall be deemed to have been declared in default without the necessity of such written notice upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 14(g), (h) or (i)); and at any time thereafter, so long as Lessee shall not have remedied all outstanding Events of Default, Lessor may do one or more of the following, as Lessor shall elect, to the extent permitted by, and subject to compliance with any mandatory requirements of, applicable law; provided that during any period the Aircraft is subject to the CRAF Program in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(b) and in the possession of the U.S. government or an instrumentality or agency thereof, Lessee shall not, on account of any Event of Default, be required to do any of the following in such manner as to limit Lessee’s operational control under this Lease (or any sublessee’s operational control under any sublease permitted by the terms of this Lease) of the Airframe or Engines, unless at least 60 days’ (or such other period as may then be applicable under the Air Mobility Command Program of the U.S. government) prior notice of default hereunder shall have been given by Lessor by registered or certified mail to Lessee (or any sublessee) with a copy addressed to the Contracting Office Representative for the Air Mobility Command of the U.S. Air Force under any contract with Lessee (or any sublessee) relating to the Aircraft:

(a) cause Lessee, upon the written demand of Lessor and at Lessee’s expense, to return promptly, and Lessee shall return promptly, all or such part of the Airframe and any Engines as Lessor may so demand, to Lessor in the manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with all of the provisions of, Section 5 as if the Airframe or such Engines were being returned at the end of the Term; or Lessor, at its option, after Lessee shall have failed to so return the Aircraft after such demand, may enter upon the premises where the Airframe is or any or all Engines are located or reasonably believed to be located and, without breach of peace, take immediate possession of and remove such Airframe or Engines (together with any engine which is not an Engine but which is installed on the Airframe, subject to all of the rights of the owner, lessor, lienor or secured party of such engine; provided that, in the event that an engine (which is not an Engine) is installed on the Airframe, such engine shall be held for the account of any such owner, lessor, lienor or secured party or, if owned by Lessee, may, at the option of Lessee with the consent of Lessor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or at the option of Lessor with the consent of Lessee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), be exchanged with Lessee for an Engine in accordance with the Return Conditions), by summary proceedings or otherwise, all without liability to Lessor for or by reason of such entry or taking possession; or

(b) sell all or any part of the Airframe and any Engine at public or private sale, whether or not Lessor shall at the time have possession thereof, as Lessor may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any part of the Airframe or such Engine as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may determine, free and clear of any rights of Lessee; or

(c) whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall thereafter at any time exercise, any of its rights under clause (a) or clause (b) above with respect to all of any part of the Airframe or any Engine, Lessor, by written notice to Lessee, may cause Lessee to pay to Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on a payment date that is at least 15 days from the date of such written notice (such payment date, the “Specified Payment Date”), as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of the Basic Rent due for Lease Period Dates occurring on and after the Specified Payment Date):

(i) any unpaid Basic Rent due on Lease Period Dates prior to the Specified Payment Date, provided that (x) if the Specified Payment Date is a Lease Payment Date, Lessee shall have no obligation to pay the installment of Basic Rent that would otherwise be due and payable on the Lease Period Date that is the Specified Payment Date and (y) if the Specified Payment Date is not a Lease Payment Date, Lessee shall be entitled to credit against its payment obligations in this subsection (c) the portion of the installment of Basic Rent allocable to the period from (and including) such Specified Payment Date to (but not including) the next succeeding Lease Period Date, or if no Lease Period Date succeeds such specified Payment Date, the last day of the Term; plus

(ii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft computed as of the Reference Stipulated Loss Value Determination Date, over the amount determined as provided in clause (A) or (B) below, as applicable (whether to use the amount determined as provided in clause (A) or in clause (B) shall have been specified in such written notice by Lessor, in its sole discretion):

(A) the sum of (x) the Fair Market Rental Value of the Aircraft for the remainder of the useful life of the Aircraft, after discounting such Fair Market Rental Value to present value as of the Specified Payment Date at an annual rate equal to 4% and (y) the salvage value of the Aircraft at the end of its useful life (as such salvage value is determined by mutual written agreement between Lessor and Lessee or, in the absence of mutual written agreement, pursuant to an Independent Appraisal) after discounting such salvage value to the present value as of the Specified Payment Date at an annual rate equal to 4%, or

(B) the Fair Market Sales Value of the Aircraft determined as of the Specified Payment Date; or

(d) in the event Lessor, pursuant to clause (b) above, shall have sold the Aircraft, Lessor, in lieu of exercising its rights under clause (c) above with respect to the Aircraft, by written notice to Lessee, may cause Lessee to pay to Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on the fifth day following the date of such sale (such fifth day, the “Sale Date”), as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of the Basic Rent due on Lease Period Dates occurring on and after the Sale Date):

(i) any unpaid Basic Rent due on Lease Period Dates prior to the Sale Date; provided that (x) if the Sale Date is a Lease Period Date, Lessee shall have no obligation to pay the installment of Basic Rent that would otherwise be due and payable on the Lease Period Date that is the Sale Date and (y) if the Sale Date is not a Lease Period Date, Lessee shall be entitled to credit against its payment obligations in this subsection (d) the portion of the installment of Basic Rent allocable to the period from (and including) such Sale Date to (but not including) the next succeeding Lease Period Date, or if no Lease Period Date succeeds such Sale Date, the last day of the Term; plus

(ii) (A) if such sale is a public or private sale to a purchaser that is not an Affiliate of Owner Participant, the Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft, computed as of the Reference Stipulated Loss Value Determination Date, minus the net proceeds of such sale (after deduction of all actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such sale) or (B) if such sale is a public or private sale to an Affiliate of Owner Participant, the Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft, computed as of the Reference Stipulated Loss Value Determination Date, minus the Fair Market Sales Value of the Aircraft, determined as of the Sale Date; or

(e) rescind this Lease as to the Aircraft, or exercise any other right or remedy which may be available to it under applicable law or proceed by appropriate court action, either at law or in equity, to enforce the terms or to recover damages for the breach hereof.

In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise provided above, and without duplication of amounts payable hereunder, for any and all unpaid Rent due hereunder before or during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies and for all reasonable legal fees and other actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lessor or Owner Participant by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of Lessor’s remedies with respect thereto, including all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the return of the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with the Return Conditions or in placing such Airframe or Engine in the condition and airworthiness required by the Return Conditions (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Lessee shall not be liable for any amounts or obligations with respect to Return Conditions if Lessor exercises any remedy under subsection (c) or (d)). At any sale of the Airframe or an Engine or part thereof pursuant to this Section, Lessor or Owner Participant may bid for and purchase such property. Lessor agrees to give Lessee at least 30 days’ prior written notice of the date fixed for any public sale of the Airframe or any Engine or of the date on or after which any private sale will be held and of any lease or other disposition of the Aircraft, which notice Lessee hereby agrees to the extent permitted by applicable law is reasonable notice. Except as otherwise expressly provided above, to the extent permitted by applicable law, no remedy referred to in this Section is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to above or

otherwise available to Lessor at law or in equity; and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the exercise or beginning of exercise by Lessor of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lessor of any or all of such other remedies. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no express or implied waiver by Lessor of any Event of Default shall in any way be, or construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Event of Default.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Operative Document, but subject to the next sentence (i) as permitted by Article 15 of the Cape Town Convention, the provisions of Chapter III of the Cape Town Convention are hereby excluded and made inapplicable to this Lease and the other Operative Documents, except for those provisions of such Chapter III that cannot be derogated from and (ii) as permitted by Article IV(3) of the Aircraft Protocol, the provisions of Chapter II of the Aircraft Protocol are hereby excluded and made inapplicable to this Lease and the other Operative Documents, except for (x) Article XVI of the Aircraft Protocol and (y) those provisions of such Chapter II that cannot be derogated from. The parties agree that the exercise of remedies hereunder and the other Operative Documents is subject to other applicable law, including without limitation, the UCC (as in effect in the State of New York) and the Bankruptcy Code, and that nothing herein derogates from the rights of Lessor or Lessee under or pursuant to such other applicable law.

Section 16. Further Assurances. Forthwith upon the execution and delivery of each Lease Supplement from time to time required by the terms hereof, Lessee will cause such Lease Supplement (and, in the case of Lease Supplement No. 1, this Lease) to be duly filed and recorded in accordance with the Transportation Code or the applicable Laws of such jurisdiction other than the United States in which the Aircraft is registered, as the case may be. In addition, each of Lessor and Lessee will promptly and duly execute and deliver to the other such further documents and assurances and take such further action as may from time to time be reasonably requested in order more effectively to carry out the intent and purpose of this Lease including, without limitation, if requested by Lessee or Lessor, the execution and delivery of supplements or amendments hereto, each in recordable form, subjecting to this Lease any Replacement Engine and the recording or filing of counterparts thereof; provided that this sentence is not intended to impose upon Lessee any additional liabilities not otherwise contemplated by this Lease.

Section 17. Notices. Unless otherwise expressly specified or permitted by the terms hereof, all notices, requests, demands, authorizations, directions, consents or waivers required or permitted under the terms and provisions of this Lease shall be in English and in writing, and given by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, overnight courier service or facsimile, and any such notice shall be effective when received (or, if delivered by facsimile, upon completion of transmission and confirmation by the sender (by a telephone call to a representative of the recipient or by machine confirmation) that such transmission was received) and addressed as follows:

Section 18. No Set-Off, Counterclaim, etc. This Lease is a net lease and to the full extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee’s obligation to pay all Basic Rent and Stipulated Loss Value shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation:

(a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which Lessee may have against Lessor, Owner Participant or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(c) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceedings by or against Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee or any other Person; or

(d) any other circumstances, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not unforeseen or similar to any of the foregoing.

Lessee hereby waives, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, any and all rights which it may now have or which at any time hereafter may be conferred upon it, by statute or otherwise, to terminate, cancel, quit or surrender this Lease except in accordance with the express terms hereof. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to waive any claim which Lessee may have hereunder (including, without limitation, claims that Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value or any other payments demanded from or paid by Lessee are or were erroneous) or otherwise or to limit the right of Lessee to make any claim it may have against Lessor, Owner Participant or any other Person or to pursue any such claim in such manner as Lessee shall deem appropriate.

Section 19. Section 1110. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Lease, to the fullest extent available under applicable law, entitles Lessor to the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Aircraft. In furtherance of the foregoing, Lessor and Lessee hereby confirm that this Lease is to be treated as a lease for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed to limit Lessee’s use and operation of the Aircraft under this Lease or constitute a representation or warranty by Lessee as to tax consequences.

Section 20. Monies Received by Lessor. Except as otherwise provided herein, any monies received by Lessor in excess of the amounts to which Lessor is entitled pursuant to the terms hereof shall immediately be paid over by Lessor to Lessee.

Section 22. Investment of Security Funds. Any moneys which are (a) held by Lessor pursuant to the terms hereof, (b) required to be paid to or retained by Lessor and not required to be paid to Lessee pursuant to Section 10(e) or Section 11(d) solely because an Event of Default shall have occurred, or (c) required to be paid to Lessee pursuant to Section 10(b) or Section 11(d) after completion of a replacement to be made pursuant to Section 8(d) shall, until paid to Lessee as provided in Section 10 or Section 11, be invested in Permitted Investments by Lessor from time to time as directed in writing by Lessee. There shall, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be promptly remitted to Lessee any gain (including interest received) realized as the result of any such investment (net of any fees, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such investment), and Lessee will promptly pay to Lessor, on demand, the amount of any loss realized as the result of any such investment (together with any fees, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such investment).

Section 23. Confidential Information. All Confidential Information shall be held confidential by Lessor in accordance with Section 10.4 of the Participation Agreement.

Section 24. Lessor Right to Perform for Lessee. If Lessee fails to make any payment of Rent required to be made by it hereunder, Lessor may, on behalf of Lessee and upon prior notice to Lessee, itself make such payment. The amount of any such payment and the amount of the reasonable expenses of Lessor incurred in connection with such payment shall be deemed Supplemental Rent immediately due and payable as of and when such payment is made by Lessor.

Section 25. Lessee’s Performance and Rights. Any obligation imposed on Lessee in this Lease shall require only that Lessee perform or cause to be performed such obligation, even if stated herein as a direct obligation, and the performance of any such obligation by a permitted assignee, sublessee or transferee under an assignment, sublease or transfer agreement then in effect shall constitute performance by Lessee and to the extent of such performance in accordance with the terms of the applicable assignment, sublease or transfer agreement, discharge such obligation by Lessee. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, any right granted to Lessee in this Lease shall grant Lessee the right to exercise such right or permit such right to be exercised by such assignee, sublessee or transferee with the same force and effect as if such assignee, sublessee or transferee were named as “Lessee” herein. The inclusion of specific references to obligations or rights of any such assignee, sublessee or transferee in certain provisions of this Lease shall not in any way prevent or diminish the application of the provisions of the two sentences immediately preceding with respect to obligations or rights in respect of which specific reference to any such assignee, sublessee or transferee has not been made in this Lease.

Section 26. Concerning Lessor. Xxxxx Fargo Bank Northwest, National Association is entering into the Operative Documents solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement and not in its individual capacity (except as expressly provided in the Operative Documents) and in no case shall Xxxxx Fargo Bank Northwest, National Association (or any entity acting as successor Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement) be personally liable for or on account of any of the statements, representations, warranties, covenants or obligations stated to be those of Lessor under the Operative Documents; provided, however, that Xxxxx Fargo Bank Northwest, National Association (or any such successor Owner Trustee) shall be personally liable under the Operative Documents for its own gross negligence, its own simple negligence in the handling of funds actually received by it in accordance with the terms of the Operative Documents, its willful misconduct and its breach of its covenants, representations and warranties in the Operative Documents, to the extent covenanted or made in its individual capacity or as otherwise expressly provided in the Operative Documents; provided, further, that nothing contained in this Section 26 shall be construed to limit the exercise and enforcement in accordance with the terms of the Operative Documents of rights and remedies against the Trust Estate.

Section 27. Successor Owner Trustee. Lessee agrees that, in the case of the appointment of any successor Owner Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement and Section 6.2.2 of the Participation Agreement, such successor Owner Trustee shall, upon written notice to Lessee by such successor Owner Trustee, succeed to all the rights, powers and title of Lessor hereunder and shall be deemed to be Lessor of the Aircraft for all purposes without in any way altering the terms of this Lease or Lessee’s obligations hereunder. One such appointment and designation of a successor Owner Trustee shall not exhaust the right to appoint and designate further successor Owner Trustees pursuant to the Trust Agreement and Section 6.2.2 of the Participation Agreement, but such right may be exercised repeatedly as long as this Lease shall be in effect.

Section 28. Miscellaneous.

(a) Any provision of this Lease which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(b) No term or provision of this Lease may be amended, modified or supplemented orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of the amendment, modification or supplement is sought.

(c) This Lease and the other Operative Documents, and all certificates, instruments and other documents relating thereto delivered and to be delivered from time to time pursuant to the Operative Documents, supersede any and all representations, warranties and agreements (other than any Operative Document) prior to the date of this Lease, written or oral, between or among any of the parties hereto relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(d) This Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts (and each of the parties hereto shall not be required to execute the same counterpart). Each counterpart of this Lease, including a signature page executed by each of the parties hereto shall be an original, but all of such counterparts together shall constitute one instrument. In the event that a security interest is granted in this Lease with respect to the issuance of debt by Lessor to the extent permitted by Section 8.3 of the Participation Agreement, and that this Lease constitutes chattel paper (as such term is defined in the UCC), no security interest in this Lease may be created through the transfer or possession of any counterpart hereof other than the original counterpart, which shall be identified as the counterpart containing the receipt therefor executed by Lessor on the signature page thereof.

(e) The parties hereto do not intend any interest created by this Lease to be a perpetuity or to be subject to invalidation under any applicable perpetuities rule; however, if the rule is to be applied, then the perpetuities period shall be 21 years after the last to die of the currently living descendents of former United States President Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx.

(f) THIS LEASE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE. THIS LEASE HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

ARTICLE XII

CERTAIN LIMITATIONS ON CONTROL¹

Section 12.01 Limitations on Control. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, but subject to Sections 12.02 and 12.04, Owner Participant will have no rights or powers to direct, influence or control Owner Trustee in the performance of Owner Trustee’s duties under this Trust Agreement in connection with any matters involving the ownership and operation of the Aircraft by Owner Trustee. In all such matters, Owner Trustee shall have absolute and complete discretion in connection therewith and shall be free of any kind of influence or control whatsoever by Owner Participant, and Owner Trustee shall exercise its duties under this Trust Agreement in connection with matters involving the ownership and operation of the Aircraft by Owner Trustee as it, in its discretion, shall deem necessary to protect the interests of the United States, notwithstanding any countervailing interest of any foreign power which, or whose citizens, may have a direct or indirect interest in Owner Participant, and any such action by Owner Trustee shall not be considered malfeasance or in breach of any obligation which Owner Trustee might otherwise have to Owner Participant; provided, however, that subject to the foregoing limitations, Owner Trustee shall exercise its discretion in all matters involving the ownership and operation of the Aircraft by Owner Trustee (a) with due regard for the interests of Owner Participant and (b) in a manner not inconsistent with the provisions of the

¹	Provision subject to change pursuant to FAA regulations regarding NCT.

Operative Documents; provided, further, that Owner Participant may confer with Owner Trustee and/or Owner Trustee may consult with Owner Participant in connection with such matters involving the ownership and operation of the Aircraft (it being understood that any advice, opinion or suggestion obtained by Owner Trustee in the course of such conferring or consulting shall not be binding on Owner Trustee, but that Owner Trustee shall be free to follow or disregard such advice, opinion or suggestion in the exercise of its discretion). In addition, Owner Participant may not remove Owner Trustee or any successor Owner Trustee appointed hereunder, except for cause. Owner Trustee agrees to promptly notify Owner Participant of the exercise of its duties under this Trust Agreement in connection with matters involving the ownership and operation of the Aircraft by Owner Trustee.

Section 12.02 Discretion, Actions and Payments of Owner Trustee. Subject to the requirements of Section 12.01, Owner Trustee agrees that it will not, unless expressly required by the terms of this Trust Agreement, without the prior consent of Owner Participant, (a) sell, transfer, assign, lease, mortgage, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Aircraft or other assets held in the Trust Estate relating thereto or (b) amend or waive any rights under any Operative Document, or give any consents under any Operative Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII, the grant of the rights of Owner Trustee set forth in Section 12.01 shall not extend to any other rights, powers or privileges in respect of the beneficial interest of Owner Participant in the Trust Estate, and Owner Participant (and not Owner Trustee) shall be entitled to receive from Owner Trustee or otherwise all payments of whatsoever kind and nature payable to Owner Participant pursuant to this Trust Agreement in the same manner as if the rights permitted to be exercised by Owner Trustee as described in Section 12.01 had not been transferred to Owner Trustee and held in trust hereunder.

Section 12.03 General. Owner Trustee and Owner Participant hereby agree with each other that if Persons who are neither Citizens of the United States nor resident aliens have the power to direct or remove Owner Trustee, either directly or indirectly through the control of another Person, those Persons together shall not have more than 25% of the aggregate power to direct or remove Owner Trustee.

Section 12.04 Purpose. The purpose of this Article XII is to give Owner Trustee the power to manage and control the Aircraft with respect to matters involving the ownership and operation of the Aircraft by Owner Trustee so as to ensure that (a) the Aircraft shall be controlled with respect to such matters by a Citizen of the United States, and (b) Owner Trustee shall be able to give the affidavit required by Section 47.7(c)(2)(iii) of the Federal Aviation Regulations, 14 C.F.R. §47.7(c)(2)(iii). This Article XII shall be construed in furtherance of the foregoing purposes; provided, however, that this Article XII shall be ignored and given no force or effect: (i) if Owner Participant determines that it meets the requirements for a Citizen of the United States and both Owner Participant and Owner Trustee file with the FAA the affidavits required by Section 47.7(c)(2)(ii) of the Federal Aviation Regulations, 14 C.F.R. §47.7(c)(2)(ii), or (ii) during periods when the Aircraft has been registered in a non-United States jurisdiction and a de-registration telex has been issued by the FAA in connection with the re-registration of the Aircraft in such non-United States jurisdiction.

Section 12.05 Adverse Effect of Citizenship on Registration. If the right (a) to exercise voting or similar rights hereunder by Owner Participant, or (b) (i) to direct, influence, or limit the

exercise of, or (ii) to prevent the direction or influence of, or (iii) place any limitation on the exercise of, Owner Trustee’s authority, or (c) to remove Owner Trustee, would adversely affect the United States registration of the Aircraft, Owner Participant shall have no such right; provided, however, that this Section shall be of no force or effect during periods in which the Aircraft is registered in a non-United States jurisdiction.

5.1.3 Approvals. Neither the execution and delivery by Lessee of, nor the performance by Lessee of its obligations under, nor the consummation by Lessee of the transactions contemplated in, this Agreement and the other Operative Documents to which Lessee is or will be a party, requires the consent or approval of, or the giving of notice to, or the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, the Department of Transportation, the FAA or any other United States federal or state governmental authority having jurisdiction, or the International Registry, except for (a) the filings and registrations referred to in Section 5.1.7, (b) notices, filings, recordings and other actions required to be given, made or performed after the Delivery Date and (c) such action, as a result of any act or omission by Owner Trustee, Owner Participant or any Affiliate of any thereof, as may be required under the United States federal securities laws or the securities or other laws of any state thereof or other jurisdiction applicable to sales of securities.

Except for such matters disclosed in press releases issued by AMR Corporation or Lessee or in public filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act by AMR Corporation or Lessee, there are no pending or, to Lessee’s knowledge, threatened actions or proceedings before any court, arbitrator or administrative agency which would materially adversely affect the ability of Lessee to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents to which Lessee is or will be a party.

(c) Any Claim to the extent attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Person (other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed as a matter of law to any Indemnified Person solely by reason of its interest in the Aircraft);

(d) Any Claim to the extent attributable to the failure by any Indemnified Person to perform or observe any covenant, agreement or other obligation to be performed or observed by it under, or any incorrectness of any representations or warranties of any Indemnified Person contained in, the Lease or any other Operative Document or any agreement relating hereto or thereto to which any such Indemnified Person is a party;

(e) Any Claim that constitutes a Permitted Lien;

(f) Any Claim to the extent attributable to the Transfer (voluntary or involuntary) (i) by any Indemnified Person of any interest in the Aircraft, the Airframe, any

Engine, any Part, the Trust Estate, Rent or any interest arising under any Operative Document, or any similar interest or security, in each case other than such a Transfer pursuant to the Return Conditions or Section 8 or 10 of the Lease or pursuant to the exercise of remedies in accordance with Section 15 of the Lease in connection with an Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing, or (ii) of any interest (direct or indirect) in any Indemnified Person;

(l) Any Claim that would not have arisen but for any indebtedness, head lease, swap, hedge, or other financing (other than the Lease) arrangements of any Indemnified Person relating to the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, any Part, Rent or any Operative Document; provided that, in the case of any such Claim against any Back-Leveraging Indemnified Person, such Claim shall only be excluded by this subsection (l) to the extent that the nature of such Claim is different than it would have been had such Back-Leveraging Indemnified Person (i) been Lessor or Owner Participant or an officer, director, servant, agent, successor and permitted assign of Lessor or Owner Participant, as applicable, and (ii) entered into the Operative Documents but not the other documents relating to the applicable Back-Leveraging Transaction;

(m) Any Claim that would not have arisen but for the failure of Trust Company, Owner Trustee or Owner Participant to be a Citizen of the United States; and

(n) Any Claim that is attributable to or relates to any broker’s fee, commission or finder’s fee in connection with any transaction contemplated by the Operative Documents (other than such fees of Lessee’s lease advisor, SkyWorks Capital, LLC).

7.1.3 Indemnified Person. All rights (including, without limitation, the right to receive any indemnity payment under this Section 7.1) of an Indemnified Person and any member of such Indemnified Person’s Related Indemnitee Group shall be exercised solely by an Indemnified Person who is a party to this Agreement. If any Indemnified Person fails to comply with this Section 7.1, such Indemnified Person shall not be entitled to indemnity under this Section 7.1 with respect to any Claim to the extent (but only to the extent) that Lessee shall have been prejudiced by such failure and that such failure is not the result of or otherwise attributable to the failure of Lessee to comply with any of its duties or obligations under this Section 7.1.

7.1.4 Insured Claims. If any Claim indemnified by Lessee is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by Lessee pursuant to Section 11 of the Lease, each Indemnified Person agrees to cooperate, at Lessee’s expense, with the insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise such Claim as may be required to retain the benefits of such insurance with respect to such Claim.

7.1.5 Claims Procedure. An Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Lessee of any Claim as to which indemnification is sought. Any amount payable by Lessee to any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be paid within 30 days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnified Person accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the Claim which is the subject of and basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount so payable.

Subject to the rights of insurers under policies of insurance maintained by Lessee, Lessee shall have the right to investigate, and the right in its sole discretion to defend or compromise, any Claim for which indemnification is sought under this Section 7.1, and each Indemnified Person shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lessee in connection therewith; provided that Lessee shall reimburse such Indemnified Person for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by it in connection therewith. No Indemnified Person shall enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim without the prior written consent of Lessee, unless such Indemnified Person waives its right and the rights of its Related Indemnitee Group to be indemnified with respect to such Claim. Where Lessee or the insurers under a policy of insurance maintained by Lessee undertake the defense of an Indemnified Person with respect to a Claim, no additional legal fees or expenses of such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Claim shall be indemnified hereunder unless such fees or expenses were incurred at the request of Lessee or such insurers; provided, however, that, if in the written opinion (a “Conflict Opinion”) of counsel to such Indemnified Person an actual or potential material conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for such Indemnified Person to be represented by separate counsel, the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by Lessee. Subject to the requirements of any policy of insurance maintained by Lessee, an Indemnified Person may participate at its own expense in any judicial proceeding controlled by Lessee pursuant to the preceding provisions; provided that such party’s participation does not, in the opinion of the independent counsel appointed by Lessee or its insurers to conduct such proceedings, interfere with such control; and such participation shall not constitute a waiver of the indemnification provided in this Section 7.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lessee shall not under any circumstances be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Persons except in the case of a delivery to Lessee of a Conflict Opinion with respect to each Indemnified Person seeking to be represented by separate counsel.

7.1.6 Subrogation. To the extent that a Claim indemnified by Lessee under this Section 7.1 is in fact paid in full by Lessee and/or an insurer under a policy of insurance maintained by Lessee, Lessee and/or such insurer, as the case may be, shall, without any further action, be subrogated to the rights and remedies of the Indemnified Person on whose behalf such Claim was paid (other than rights and remedies of such Indemnified Person under insurance policies maintained at its own expense) with respect to the transaction or event giving rise to such Claim. Such Indemnified Person shall give such further assurances or agreements and shall cooperate with Lessee or such insurer, as the case may be, to permit Lessee or such insurer to pursue such rights and remedies, if any, to the extent reasonably requested by Lessee and at Lessee’s expense. Should an Indemnified Person receive any payment from any party other than Lessee or its insurers, in whole or in part, with respect to any Claim paid in full by Lessee or its insurers hereunder, such Indemnified Person shall promptly pay the amount so received (but not an amount in excess of the amount Lessee or any of its insurers has paid in respect of such Claim) over to Lessee.

7.1.7 No Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease or in any other Operative Document, Lessee shall not have any responsibility for, or incur any liabilities as a result of, any residual value guaranty, deficiency guaranty or similar agreement in connection with the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part. In addition, nothing set forth in this Section 7.1 shall constitute a guarantee by Lessee that the Aircraft shall have any particular value, useful life or residual value.

7.2 General Tax Indemnity

7.2.1 Taxes Indemnified. Subject to Section 7.2.2, if the Closing occurs, Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Tax Indemnitee on an After-Tax Basis against any and all Taxes imposed on any Tax Indemnitee, Lessee, the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part upon or with respect to (a) the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part, (b) the lease, possession, operation, use, non-use, control, purchase, sale, delivery, redelivery, location, pooling, maintenance, repair, substitution, replacement, registration, re-registration, purchase, sale, sublease, storage, modification, alteration, return, transfer or other disposition of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part, (c) any Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent payable by or on behalf of Lessee, (d) any incorrectness of any representations or warranties of Lessee contained in any Operative Document, or any failure of Lessee to perform or observe any covenant, agreement or other obligation to be performed or observed by Lessee, under the Lease or any Operative Document or (e) the exercise of remedies in accordance with Section 15 of the Lease in connection with an Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing.

7.2.2 Taxes Excluded from Indemnity. Lessee shall have no obligation to indemnify and hold harmless any Tax Indemnitee under Section 7.2 (or otherwise under the Operative Documents) with respect to Taxes described in any one or more of the following subsections; provided that subsections (a) and (e) below shall not apply in determining the additional amount necessary to make any payment on an After-Tax Basis:

(a) Taxes imposed by any government or taxing authority on, based on, measured by or with respect to capital, net worth, retained earnings, gross or net income or gross or net receipts or proceeds or that are doing business, franchise, minimum or withholding Taxes; provided that this subsection (a) shall not apply to (i) any such Taxes imposed by any government or taxing authority located outside the United States to the extent such Taxes would have been imposed had the sole connection between the Tax Indemnitee and such government or taxing authority been (A) the location, use, operation or presence of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part in such jurisdiction, (B) the presence or activity of Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee or any Affiliate of either in such jurisdiction or (C) Lessee’s (or another Person on its behalf) making a payment from or through such jurisdiction or (ii) any sales, use, goods and services, license, value added or property Taxes, or Taxes of a similar nature, imposed by any government or taxing authority;

(b) Taxes that would not have been imposed but for (i) any Lessor’s Lien, (ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Tax Indemnitee (other than gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed as a matter of law to such Tax Indemnitee solely by reason of its interest in the Aircraft), (iii) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or covenant of any Tax Indemnitee contained in any Operative Document (unless attributable to the breach by Lessee of any representation, warranty or covenant of Lessee contained in any Operative Document), or (iv) a failure of any Tax Indemnitee to comply with any certification, information, documentation, reporting or other similar requirement, if such compliance is necessary or appropriate to claim any relief from such Taxes for which such Tax Indemnitee was eligible, unless such failure is due to the failure of Lessee to comply with its obligations under Section 7.2.5 below;

(c) Taxes imposed on or with respect to a Transfer (voluntary or involuntary) (i) by a Tax Indemnitee of any interest in the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, any Part, the Trust Estate, Rent or any interest arising under any Operative Document or (ii) of any interest (direct or indirect) in a Tax Indemnitee, in each case other than a Transfer pursuant to the Return Conditions or Section 8 or 10 of the Lease or pursuant to the exercise of remedies in accordance with Section 15 of the Lease in connection with an Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing;

(d) Taxes to the extent imposed with respect to any period commencing after the earlier of (i) the return of the Aircraft to Lessor pursuant to Section 5 of the Lease and (ii) the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease; provided that there shall not be excluded by this subsection (d) any Taxes to the extent (x) attributable to events occurring or matters arising prior to or simultaneously with the earlier of such times, (y) imposed with respect to any payment by Lessee under the Operative Documents after such date or (z) arising pursuant to the exercise of remedies in accordance with Section 15 of the Lease in connection with an Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing;

(e) Taxes imposed by any government or taxing authority to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for a connection between any Tax Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof and such government or taxing authority unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents;

(f) Taxes to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for an amendment or waiver with respect to any Operative Document, unless such amendment or waiver is (i) requested in writing by Lessee or (ii) made as a result of the exercise of remedies in accordance with Section 15 of the Lease in connection with an Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing;

(g) value added Taxes imposed in lieu of a net income Tax by the United States or any state or local government or taxing authority thereof or therein;

(h) Taxes resulting from a violation of ERISA or a “prohibited transaction” under Section 4975 of the Code;

(i) Taxes on, based on, measured by or with respect to any consideration payable for services rendered by Trust Company as owner trustee;

(j) Taxes that would not have been imposed but for any indebtedness, head lease, swap, hedge or other financing (other than the Lease) arrangements of any Tax Indemnitee relating to the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, any Part, Rent or any Operative Document; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Taxes imposed on a Back-Leveraging Indemnified Person, if any, that has been added as a Tax Indemnitee in a consent and acknowledgement described in Section 8.3.2(b) shall not be treated as described in this clause (j) to the extent that such Taxes would have been imposed on another Tax Indemnitee and would have been subject to indemnification by Lessee under this Section 7 had there been no such indebtedness, head lease, swap, hedge or other financing (other than the Lease) arrangements;

(k) Taxes in excess of the Taxes that would have been imposed and indemnified against by Lessee hereunder had there not been a Transfer (voluntary or involuntary) (i) by a Tax Indemnitee of any interest in the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, any Part, the Trust Estate, Rent or any interest arising under any Operative Document or (ii) of any interest (direct or indirect) in a Tax Indemnitee, in each case other than a Transfer pursuant to the Return Conditions or Section 8 or 10 of the Lease or pursuant to the exercise of remedies in accordance with Section 15 of the Lease in connection with an Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing;

(l) withholding Taxes imposed by the U.S. federal government that would not have been imposed but for a Tax Indemnitee or any Person holding a direct or indirect interest in the Tax Indemnitee being other than a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code; or

(m) Taxes payable by Owner Participant under Section 6.4.11 of this Agreement.

7.2.3 Payment. Lessee shall pay any Tax for which it is liable pursuant to this Section 7.2 directly to the appropriate taxing authority, if allowable, or, if not so allowable, directly to the relevant Tax Indemnitee. Any amount payable directly to any Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be paid to such Tax Indemnitee on or prior to the later of (a) 30 days after receipt by Lessee of a written demand therefor from such Tax Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the Taxes that are the subject

of such indemnity and the computation of the amount so payable, (b) one Business Day prior to the due date for the payment of such Taxes (including all extensions) or (c) in the case of amounts that are being contested in accordance with Section 7.2.4, the time such contest (including all appeals, if any) is finally resolved; provided that Lessee shall pay any amounts due pursuant to Section 7.2.4 at the time or times required by such Section. If requested by a Tax Indemnitee in writing, Lessee shall furnish to such Tax Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt (if any is reasonably available to Lessee) for Lessee’s payment of any Tax directly to a taxing authority pursuant to this Section 7.2 or such other evidence of such payment by Lessee as is reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee and reasonably available to Lessee. If, for any reason, Lessee makes any payment with respect to any Taxes of any Tax Indemnitee that are not the responsibility of Lessee with respect to such Tax Indemnitee under this Section 7, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee, within 30 days of Lessee’s demand therefor, an amount equal to the amount paid by Lessee with respect to such Taxes.

7.2.4 Contests; Refunds.

If a written claim is made against any Tax Indemnitee for any Tax for which Lessee may be obligated pursuant to this Section 7.2, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly notify Lessee in writing of such claim. If requested by Lessee in writing, Lessee shall, subject to the conditions set forth in the next paragraph, be entitled at its sole expense to contest such Tax in the name of the relevant Tax Indemnitee or of Lessee through appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings (including pursuing all judicial appeals); provided that (a) no Event of Default under Section 14(a), (b), (f), (g), (h) or (i) of the Lease shall have occurred and be continuing, (b) if such contest shall be conducted in a manner requiring the payment of the Tax, Lessee shall advance to or for the benefit of such Tax Indemnitee (on an interest-free basis) the amount of such payment and shall agree to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee against any adverse tax consequences to such Tax Indemnitee resulting from such interest-free loan and (c) the action to be taken will not result in any material danger of forfeiture, sale or loss of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine (unless Lessee shall have provided to Owner Trustee a bond or other sufficient protection against such risk reasonably acceptable to Owner Trustee) or any material risk of the imposition of criminal penalties. In any contest under this Section 7.2.4 conducted by Lessee, Lessee shall determine the forum and manner in which such contest shall be conducted and, upon the written request of the relevant Tax Indemnitee, shall advise such Tax Indemnitee of the status of such contest, and each Tax Indemnitee shall take reasonable steps to cooperate with Lessee, at Lessee’s request and expense, in connection with such contest.

Lessee shall not be permitted to conduct such a contest in its name or in the name of the relevant Tax Indemnitee (and instead a Tax Indemnitee, at Lessee’s request, shall contest in its own name as provided in the next paragraph) if (x) an Event of Default under Section 14(a), (b), (f), (g), (h) or (i) of the Lease shall have occurred and be continuing or (y) such contest involves issues for which Lessee is not obligated under this Section 7.2 that can not be severed by reasonable efforts of the Tax Indemnitee from all issues for which Lessee might be so obligated.

If requested by Lessee in writing, and if Lessee is not itself contesting a claim under this Section 7.2.4, the relevant Tax Indemnitee shall contest, diligently and in good faith, in the name of such Tax Indemnitee the validity, applicability and amount of the relevant Tax by (I) resisting payment thereof, (II) not paying the same except under protest, if protest be necessary or proper,

or (III) if payment be made, using reasonable efforts to promptly obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings; provided that (1) Lessee shall have agreed to pay such Tax Indemnitee on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses which such Tax Indemnitee may incur in connection with contesting such claim, including, without limitation, all reasonable legal, accountants’ and investigatory fees and disbursements, (2) if such contest shall be conducted in a manner requiring the payment of the Tax, Lessee shall advance to such Tax Indemnitee (on an interest-free basis) the amount of such payment and shall agree to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee against any adverse tax consequences to such Tax Indemnitee resulting from such interest-free loan, (3) the action to be taken will not result in any material danger of forfeiture, sale or loss of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine or Part (unless Lessee shall have provided to Owner Trustee a bond or other sufficient protection against such risk reasonably acceptable to Owner Trustee) and (4) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall have provided security for its related tax indemnity obligation reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee. In any contest under this Section 7.2.4 conducted by a Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall determine the forum for such contest and the manner in which it shall be conducted; provided that such Tax Indemnitee shall consult in good faith with Lessee and its counsel, and provide to Lessee and its counsel any communications to or from the relevant taxing authority or administrative or judicial body, with respect to the issues for which Lessee may be obligated under this Section 7.2.

If a refund (whether in cash or in any other form) shall be obtained by or for any Tax Indemnitee of all or part of any Tax paid by Lessee or for which Lessee shall have made an advance to, or reimbursed, such Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly pay Lessee an amount equal to the amount of such refund (which shall reduce the amount of any interest-free loan previously made by Lessee under this Section 7.2.4), together with any interest received on such refund attributable to such Tax that is properly attributable to the period subsequent to such payment or reimbursement by Lessee, reduced by any Taxes payable by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of the receipt or accrual of such refund and interest, and increased by any Tax benefit realized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of any payment by such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this sentence; provided that the subsequent loss of a refund for which payment has been made to Lessee under this paragraph shall be treated as an indemnifiable Tax hereunder without regard to the exclusions set forth in Section 7.2.2.

If, without the consent of Lessee, a Tax Indemnitee elects not to, or fails to, contest or cooperate in the contest of any Tax as required in accordance with this Section 7.2.4, or elects to settle, compromise or otherwise terminate any such contest, such election or failure shall constitute a waiver by each Tax Indemnitee of any right to any amount that might otherwise be payable by Lessee pursuant to this Section 7.2 with respect to such Tax (and any other Tax for which a successful contest is materially adversely affected because of such election or failure), other than any expenses of the contest, and, if Lessee has theretofore provided such Tax Indemnitee with an interest-free loan to pay such amount, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly repay an amount which, after subtraction of any further net savings of Taxes actually realized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of such repayment, shall be equal to the amount of such interest-free loan, together with interest on the amount of such loan from the date such loan was made to the date of repayment pursuant to this sentence at the rate that would have been paid by the relevant taxing authority had such contest resulted in a refund.

7.2.5 Reports and Returns; Information; Forms. If any report or return is required to be filed with respect to a Tax subject to indemnification by Lessee under this Section 7.2, Lessee shall timely file such report or return in its own name if it is permitted by applicable law to do so (unless Lessee has been notified by the relevant Tax Indemnitee that such Tax Indemnitee intends to file such report or return), showing ownership of the Aircraft in Owner Trustee. If requested by the relevant Tax Indemnitee, Lessee shall send a copy of such report or return to such Tax Indemnitee. If Lessee is not permitted by applicable Law to file any such report or return in its own name, or has insufficient information to do so, Lessee shall, upon obtaining actual knowledge of such requirement, promptly notify the relevant Tax Indemnitee of such requirement and, to the extent it is able to do so, prepare and deliver to such Tax Indemnitee a proposed form of such report or return. Lessee shall furnish to each Tax Indemnitee, and each Tax Indemnitee shall furnish to Lessee, upon the written request of such Tax Indemnitee or Lessee, as the case may be, such data in its possession or otherwise reasonably available to it as may be reasonably requested to enable Lessee or such Tax Indemnitee, as the case may be, as is reasonably necessary to file any such returns or reports and to otherwise comply with the requirements of any taxing authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Lease.

Each Tax Indemnitee agrees to furnish from time to time to or as directed by Lessee, upon Lessee’s written request and at Lessee’s expense, such duly executed and properly completed forms, statements or certificates as may be necessary or appropriate in order to claim any available reduction of any Tax for which Lessee may be obligated under this Section 7.2 or to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Lease; provided that Lessee shall have furnished such Tax Indemnitee with any information necessary to complete such form, statement or certificate that is not otherwise reasonably available to such Tax Indemnitee. If any form, statement or certificate provided by Owner Participant or another Tax Indemnitee to Lessee pursuant to any Operative Document becomes obsolete or incorrect, such Person shall promptly notify Lessee.

7.3 Survival; Other.

7.3.1 Survival. The indemnities and other obligations of Lessee (subject to Sections 7.1.2(a) and 7.2.2(d)), and the obligations of each Indemnified Person and Tax Indemnitee, under Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 shall survive the expiration or other termination of the Operative Documents.

7.3.2 Tax Savings. If, by reason of any Claims or Taxes paid or indemnified against by Lessee pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2, any Indemnified Person or Tax Indemnitee at any time realizes a net reduction in any Taxes not indemnified against by Lessee and not taken into account previously in computing the amount of any indemnity payable by Lessee under Section 7.1 or 7.2, such Indemnified Person or Tax Indemnitee shall promptly pay to Lessee an amount that, after subtraction of any further Tax savings such Indemnified Person or Tax Indemnitee realizes as a result of the payment thereof, is equal to the amount of such net Tax reduction; provided that any subsequent loss of a Tax benefit for which a payment has been made to Lessee under this Section 7.3.2 (or which was taken into account previously in computing an amount payable by Lessee under Section 7.2) shall be treated as an indemnifiable Tax hereunder without regard to the exclusions set forth in Section 7.2.2. Each Indemnified Person and each Tax Indemnitee shall in good faith use diligence in filing tax returns and in dealing with taxing authorities to seek and claim any Tax benefit that would result in such a reduction in Taxes and to minimize the Taxes indemnifiable by Lessee hereunder.

7.3.3 Non-Parties. If an Indemnified Person or Tax Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, Lessee may require such Indemnified Person or Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to Lessee, to the terms of Section 7.1 or 7.2, as the case may be, and this Section 7.3, prior to making any payments to such Indemnified Person or Tax Indemnitee under Section 7.1 or 7.2, as the case may be.

7.3.4 Application of Payments During Event of Default. If, at the time an amount would otherwise be payable to Lessee under Section 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3.2, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such amount shall be held by the relevant Indemnified Person or Tax Indemnitee as security for the obligations of Lessee under the Operative Documents. At such time as no Event of Default is continuing, such amount shall be paid to Lessee.

7.3.5 Verification. At the request of Lessee, any computation by an Indemnified Person or a Tax Indemnitee of any amount payable by or to Lessee pursuant to Section 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3.2 shall be verified and certified by a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants selected by the Indemnified Person or Tax Indemnitee, as the case may be, and reasonably acceptable to Lessee. In the event such accounting firm shall determine that the computation of any such amount is incorrect, it shall determine what it believes to be the correct amount, and, absent prima facie error, such determination shall be binding upon the parties. Such Indemnified Person or Tax Indemnitee, as the case may be, shall cooperate with such accounting firm and provide it with such information as is reasonably necessary for such verification and certification; provided that such accounting firm shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person or Tax Indemnitee. If Lessee or such Indemnified Person or Tax Indemnitee, as the case may be, has paid any amount under Section 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3.2 prior to such accounting firm’s completion of its review, appropriate adjustments will be made promptly after such completion to take into account the determination by such firm. The costs of any such verification and certification shall be borne by Lessee unless such accounting firm determines that any amount payable (a) by Lessee to such Indemnified Person or Tax Indemnitee, as the case may be, is less than 95% of the amount determined by such Indemnifed Person or Tax Indemnitee to be so payable or (b) by such Indemnified Person or Tax Indemnitee, as the case may be, to Lessee is greater than the amount determined by such Indemnified Person or Tax Indemnitee to be so payable by at least 5%, in either of which cases the cost of such verification and certification shall be paid by such Indemnified Person or Tax Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing or elsewhere in the Operative Documents, neither Lessee, nor any other Person (other than the independent accountants referred to above), shall have any right to inspect an Indemnified Person’s or a Tax Indemnitee’s Tax returns, books or records.

7.3.6 Withholding Agent. Owner Trustee hereby agrees to act as the U.S. federal withholding Tax agent in respect of Rent and all other amounts payable to it, or distributable by it for or on account of Owner Participant under the Operative Documents, and to be responsible for preparing and filing IRS Forms 1042 and 1042-S (or any similar or successor forms), as well as any other governmental filings and information requirements in connection therewith, and making deposits of U.S. federal withholding Taxes (if any), in accordance with U.S. federal Tax Laws.

7.4 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.4, each of Lessee and Owner Participant will be responsible for its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Operative Documents. Lessee agrees promptly to pay (a) all the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Trust Company in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Operative Documents (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of [Ray, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx P.C.,] special counsel for Trust Company); and (b) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of Aviation Counsel in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Operative Documents. Lessee also agrees to pay all costs and expenses imposed by the FAA, the International Registry and the State of Delaware in connection with the registrations and filings described in Section 5.1.7. Lessee agrees to pay the initial and on-going fees of Trust Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby during the Term of the Lease.

Section 8. Assignment or Transfer of Interests.

8.1 Owner Trustee. Except as expressly provided in the Operative Documents, Owner Trustee shall not, directly or indirectly, Transfer any of its right, title or interest in and to the Aircraft, any of the Operative Documents, the Trust Estate or any proceeds therefrom without the prior written consent of Lessee; provided that such consent shall not be required for a Transfer pursuant to the exercise of remedies by Owner Trustee under and in accordance with Section 15 of the Lease in connection with an Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing, [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

8.2 Owner Participant.

(a) Owner Participant Transfer Requirements. Owner Participant shall not directly or indirectly Transfer any of its right, title or interest in and to all or any part of this Agreement, any of the other Operative Documents or the Trust Estate, except that Owner Participant may Transfer all (but not less than all) of its right, title and interest therein to a single bank, lending institution, leasing company, other financial institution, corporation, limited partnership, statutory trust, limited liability company or special purpose entity if, as preconditions to such Transfer:

(i) (A) the Person to whom such Transfer is made (the “Transferee”) either is a Citizen of the United States or qualifies as a Citizen of the United States through a voting trust agreement, voting powers agreement or similar arrangement (including, without limitation, provisions delegating certain control rights to the Owner Trustee) by the Transferee or any Affiliate thereof, but in each case without reliance on any rule that would restrict in any way the use and operation of the Aircraft, and has the requisite power, authority and legal right to enter into and carry out the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents; (B) unless Lessee consents, the Transferee is not an airline or other commercial operator of aircraft, freight forwarder, or any other company directly or indirectly engaged in the business of passenger, cargo, freight or parcel transportation or any Affiliate of any thereof; (C)(1) the Transfer does not violate the Transportation Code, the Securities Act or any other Law (including, without limitation, ERISA, any laws or regulations imposing U.S. economic sanctions measures or any orders or licenses issued thereunder), or create a relationship that would be in violation thereof, (2) the Transfer does not result in a “prohibited transaction” under Section 4975 of the Code, (3) the Transfer does not adversely affect the registration of the Aircraft in the name of Owner Trustee with the FAA (or the aeronautical authority of the

country of registry of the Aircraft if the Aircraft is not registered under the laws of the United States), (4) the Transfer will not subject Lessee to any additional regulation under, or require Lessee to give any notice to, register with, make any filings with or take any other action in respect of, any governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction, (5) the Transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act or any foreign securities laws, require qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, or require Lessee to sign any registration statement, (6) unless Lessee consents, the Transfer does not involve a Rule 144A, Regulation S or other capital markets or equity syndication transaction not described in the immediately preceding clause (5), and (7) the Transfer does not result in, or involve, incurrence by Lessee of any indebtedness for accounting purposes (it being understood that, if any change in the lease accounting standards applicable to Lessee requires that Lessee, independently of the Transfer, capitalize its leases, including the Lease, in Lessee’s books, such capitalization of the Lease is not intended to constitute, and shall not be construed as, incurrence by Lessee of any indebtedness for accounting purposes within the meaning of this clause (7)); (D) Owner Participant and the Transferee shall have entered into an agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Assumption Agreement”) or in such other form as shall be acceptable to Lessee; (E) Owner Participant shall have delivered to Owner Trustee and Lessee an opinion or opinions of counsel (which shall either be the in-house counsel of the Transferee or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessee) to the effect that the Assumption Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Transferee and is enforceable against the Transferee in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or by general principles of equity and to the effect that (subject to customary exceptions, qualifications and exclusions) such Transfer complies with clause (A) (except as to citizenship) and clause (C) (with respect to the Transportation Code and the Securities Act and no violation of Law) above (provided that, in determining observance with all factual matters contained in this Section, such counsel may rely on representations of the Transferee); and (F) the Transferee shall have provided to each of Lessee and Owner Trustee a duly completed and executed original IRS Form W-9 (and/or other applicable IRS Form(s)) establishing a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding taxes with respect to all payments of Rent or other amounts to or for the benefit of Owner Trustee or Owner Participant under the Operative Documents; and

(ii) except with the consent of Lessee, either [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] (IV) is otherwise approved in writing by Lessee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (any Transferee meeting any of the requirements of (I), (II), (III) or (IV) above being hereinafter referred to as a “Qualifying Institution”), or (B) if the Transferee is not itself a Qualifying Institution, a parent corporation of the Transferee which qualifies as a Qualifying Institution shall have executed and delivered to Owner Trustee and Lessee an absolute and unconditional guaranty, substantially in the form of Exhibit G or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessee ([the guaranty by

[Name of initial Owner Participant Guarantor] or any other⁷] [any] such guaranty, an “Owner Participant Guarantee”) and [Name of initial Owner Participant Guarantor or] such parent the “Owner Participant Guarantor”), with respect to the obligations undertaken by the Transferee under the Assumption Agreement referred to above, together with an opinion of counsel (which may be the in-house counsel of the Qualifying Institution providing such guaranty or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessee) to the effect that such guaranty is enforceable against the guarantor in accordance with its terms. The Transferee shall, at the time of Transfer, deliver to Owner Trustee and Lessee a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Transferee or its guarantor evidencing satisfaction of the requirements of (I), (II) or (III), as applicable, set forth in this clause (ii).

It shall be a further condition to any such Transfer, and the parties hereby agree, that: (x) as determined at the time of such Transfer, none of Lessee’s obligations, responsibilities, liabilities, costs and risks in the use and operation of the Aircraft or under, relating to or in respect of the Operative Documents or otherwise, including, without limitation, under or in respect of any of Lessee’s payment or indemnity obligations, shall be increased or altered, and none of Lessee’s rights and benefits under any Operative Document shall be diminished, as a result of or in connection with such Transfer or any aspect thereof or any other transaction relating thereto (it being acknowledged that an increase in the number of Indemnified Persons or Tax Indemnitees shall not, of itself, constitute an increase in Lessee’s obligations under the Operative Documents); and (y) Lessee shall have no obligation, responsibility or liability of any kind under, relating to or in respect of such Transfer or any aspect thereof or any other transaction relating thereto, except acknowledging acceptance of the Assumption Agreement.

The transferor Owner Participant will pay or cause the Transferee to pay any fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred by Owner Trustee, Trust Company, Lessee or any other party in connection with any such Transfer (including, without limitation the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Lessee and its legal fees and expenses) whether or not such Transfer is consummated, and in no case will Lessee be responsible for (and Owner Participant will hold Lessee harmless from) any such fees, charges or expenses or for any fees, charges or expenses incurred by any party to a Back-Leveraging Transaction in connection with such Transfer.

⁷	Insert if applicable.

(b) Effect of Transfer. Upon any such Transfer by Owner Participant to a Transferee permitted by this Section 8.2, the Transferee shall be deemed the “Owner Participant” for all purposes hereof (unless the context is inappropriate) and each reference herein or in any other Operative Document to “Owner Participant” shall thereafter be deemed a reference to the Transferee as Owner Participant (unless the context is inappropriate). Upon any such Transfer by Owner Participant to a Transferee permitted by this Section 8.2, the transferor Owner Participant shall be relieved of all of its duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder and under the Trust Agreement that have been expressly assumed by such Transferee; provided that in no event will any such Transfer release the transferor Owner Participant from any duty, liability or obligation (i) arising or relating to any event occurring prior to the effective time of such Transfer, (ii) on account of any breach by the transferor Owner Participant of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations contained herein or in any other Operative Document or any Assumption Agreement, or for any fraudulent or willful misconduct engaged in by the transferor Owner Participant, (iii) that relates to any indemnity claimed by the transferor Owner Participant or (iv) relating to or arising out of any Lessor’s Lien attributable to the transferor Owner Participant. If Owner Participant proposes to Transfer its interests pursuant to this Section 8.2, it shall give at least 10 days prior written notice thereof to Owner Trustee and Lessee, specifying the name and address of the Transferee and the facts necessary to determine whether the conditions of this Section 8.2 have been or will be satisfied.

Section 9. Change of Citizenship.

9.1 Generally. Without prejudice to the representations, warranties or covenants regarding the status of any party hereto as a Citizen of the United States, each of Owner Participant, Owner Trustee and Trust Company agrees that, during the Term, in the event its status is to change or has changed as a Citizen of the United States or it makes public disclosure of circumstances as a result of which it believes that such status is likely to change, it will notify all the other parties to this Agreement of (a) such change in status promptly after obtaining actual knowledge thereof or (b) such belief as soon as practicable after such public disclosure but in any event within 10 Business Days after such public disclosure.

9.2 Owner Participant. Owner Participant covenants that if, at any time during the Term when the Aircraft is registered in the United States, Owner Participant is not or ceases to be a Citizen of the United States and the Aircraft would thereupon become ineligible for registration in the name of Owner Trustee under the Transportation Code as in effect at such time and the regulations then applicable thereunder (without regard to any “based and primarily used” provision, or other provision that in any way could restrict the use and operation of the Aircraft by Lessee but with regard to voting trust provisions and provisions delegating certain control rights to the Owner Trustee), then Owner Participant at its own expense shall promptly (and, in any event, within a period of 30 days) either transfer, pursuant to Article VIII of the Trust Agreement and Section 8.2 hereof, its right, title and interest in and to the Trust Agreement, the Trust Estate and this Agreement, or take such other action, as may be necessary to prevent any deregistration of the Aircraft or to make possible its registration in the United States (without regard to any “based and primarily used” provision, or other provision that in any way could restrict the use and operation of the Aircraft by Lessee but with regard to voting trust provisions and provisions delegating certain control rights to the Owner Trustee), as the case may be. Each party hereto agrees to take such steps, at Owner Participant’s expense, as Owner Participant shall reasonably request in order to assist Owner Participant in complying with its obligations under this Section 9.2. Owner Participant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other parties hereto for any and all losses, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by such parties arising from the failure of the Aircraft to be eligible for registration in the name of Owner Trustee attributable to Owner Participant’s failure to be a Citizen of the United States at any time during the Term.

9.3 Owner Trustee. Trust Company covenants that, if at any time when the Aircraft is registered in the United States Trust Company is not or ceases to be a Citizen of the United States and the Aircraft would thereupon become ineligible for registration in the name of Owner Trustee under the Transportation Code as in effect at such time and the regulations then applicable thereunder (without regard to any “based and primarily used” provision, or other provision that in any way could restrict the use and operation of the Aircraft by Lessee), Trust Company shall resign immediately as Owner Trustee in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Trust Agreement. Trust Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other parties hereto for any and all losses, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by such parties arising from Trust Company’s failure to be a Citizen of the United States at any time during the Term.

All payment obligations by the parties hereto under the Operative Documents shall be payable in U.S. Dollars.

10.3 Concerning Owner Trustee.

on account of any of the statements, representations, warranties, covenants or obligations stated to be those of Lessor or Owner Trustee under the Operative Documents; provided, however, that Xxxxx Fargo Bank Northwest, National Association (or any successor Owner Trustee) shall be personally liable under the Operative Documents for its own gross negligence, its own simple negligence in the handling of funds actually received by it in accordance with the terms of the Operative Documents, its willful misconduct and its breach of its covenants, representations and warranties in the Operative Documents, to the extent covenanted or made in its individual capacity or as otherwise expressly provided in the Operative Documents; provided, further, that nothing contained in this Section 10.3 shall be construed to limit the exercise and enforcement in accordance with the terms of the Operative Documents of rights and remedies against the Trust Estate.

10.4 Confidential Information. All Confidential Information shall be held confidential by each of Owner Trustee, Trust Company and Owner Participant and shall not, without the prior written consent of Lessee, be furnished or disclosed to anyone other than (a) such party’s bank examiners, auditors, accountants, agents and legal counsel, each with an absolute need to know such information; (b) any Person with whom such party is in good faith conducting negotiations relating to the possible Back-Leveraging Transaction or permitted transfer, sale or other disposition of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Lease and the other Operative Documents, if such Person shall have entered into an agreement for the express benefit of Lessee to hold such Confidential Information confidential in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.4; (c) except as may be required by an order of any court or administrative agency or by any statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority; and (d) except to the extent such Confidential Information becomes publicly available or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any party to the Operative Documents or any Affiliate thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Operative Documents, except as reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities law, the parties to the Operative Documents (and their respective employees, representatives and agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the United States federal or state income tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction contemplated thereby and all materials of any kind provided to them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For this purpose, “tax structure” means any facts relevant to the United States federal or state income tax treatment of such transaction, but (unless otherwise required by applicable Law) does not include information relating to the identity of the parties. The obligations set forth in this Section 10.4 shall survive any termination or rescission of this Agreement or other Operative Documents, as the case may be.

10.5 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall execute, acknowledge and deliver or shall cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further agreements, instruments, certificates or documents, and shall do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including, without limitation, making or consenting to registrations on the International Registry with respect to the Lease contemplated by Section 2 and appointing Aviation Counsel as its “professional user entity” (as defined in the Cape Town Treaty) to make or consent to any registrations or discharges on the International Registry with respect to the Airframe or any Engine, in any case, as any other party hereto shall reasonably request in connection with the administration of, or to carry out more effectively the purposes of, or to better assure and confirm into such other party the rights and benefits to be provided under this Agreement; provided that this sentence is not intended to impose upon Lessee any additional liabilities not contemplated by this Agreement.

10.6 Third Party Beneficiary. Except for Indemnified Persons and Tax Indemnitees not a party hereto (each of which shall be deemed to be express third party beneficiaries with respect to the provisions of Section 7.1 or 7.2, as the case may be, subject to Section 7.3.3), this Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, provide any Person not a party hereto with any rights of any nature whatsoever against any of the parties hereto and no Person not a party hereto shall have any right, power or privilege in respect of any party hereto, or have any benefit or interest, arising out of this Agreement.

10.7 Miscellaneous.

10.7.1 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.7.2 Amendments. No term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of the amendment, modification or supplement is sought.

10.7.3 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Operative Documents, and all certificates, instruments and other documents relating thereto delivered and to be delivered from time to time pursuant to the Operative Documents, supersede any and all representations, warranties and agreements (other than any Operative Document) prior to the date of this Agreement, written or oral, between or among any of the parties hereto relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

10.7.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (and each of the parties hereto shall not be required to execute the same counterpart). Each counterpart of this Agreement, including a signature page executed by each of the parties hereto shall be an original, but all of such counterparts together shall constitute one instrument.

10.7.6 No Waiver. No failure on the part of Owner Participant, Owner Trustee, Trust Company or Lessee to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any other Operative Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder and thereunder. Except as may be expressly limited herein or by any other Operative Document, the remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by Law.

10.7.7 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. In relation to any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Operative Document, each of Owner Participant, Trust Company, Owner Trustee and Lessee (a) irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of each of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and other courts with jurisdiction to hear appeals from such courts, and (b) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such action or proceeding, that the action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or any other Operative Document or the subject matter hereof or thereof or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby may not be enforced in or by such courts. [Owner Participant irrevocably designates and appoints [name of process agent] as process agent to receive for it and on its behalf service of process in any proceedings arising hereunder or under any other Operative Document to which it is a party. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.]⁸

10.7.8 Section 1110. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Lease, to the fullest extent available under applicable law, entitles Lessor to the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Aircraft. In the furtherance of the forgoing, the parties hereby confirm that the Lease is to be treated as a lease for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed to limit Lessee’s use and operation of the Aircraft under the Lease or constitute a representation or warranty by any party as to tax consequences.

10.7.9 Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that Owner Participant or any of its properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, and whether under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (or any successor legislation) or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon any Operative Documents to which it is a party, including, without limitation, immunity from suit or service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal or execution of a judgment, or immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, Owner Participant hereby irrevocably and expressly waives any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States or elsewhere.

In addition, a foreign Assignee will need to provide an opinion or representation substantially to the following effect: “Under applicable Law in effect at the Effective Time, assuming the Aircraft is not located or used by Lessee or any sublessee of Lessee at or after the Effective Time in [Assignee’s country] and neither Lessee, Owner Trustee nor Trust Company is acting, or has acted, under the Operative Documents through an office or other fixed place of business or an agent in [Assignee’s country], neither Lessee nor Owner Trustee will be required to charge, withhold or otherwise collect any sales, stamp, value added or similar Tax imposed by [Assignee’s country], or any political subdivision thereof, with respect to the Operative Documents or any Rent payable at or after the Effective Time.”

10. Certain Agreements.

(a) Assignee agrees that, except as expressly permitted by Section 15 of the Lease in connection with an Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing, notwithstanding anything herein or in any Operative Document to the contrary, neither it nor any Person claiming by, through or under it shall take or cause to be taken any action inconsistent with Lessee’s rights under the Lease and Lessee’s right to quiet enjoyment of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part, or otherwise in any way interfere with or interrupt the use, operation and continuing possession of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part by Lessee or any sublessee, assignee or transferee under any sublease, assignment or transfer then in effect and permitted by the terms of the Lease.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Operative Documents, each of Assignor and Assignee hereby agrees, for the benefit of Lessee, that as determined at the Effective Time none of Lessee’s obligations, responsibilities, liabilities, costs and risks in the use and operation of the Aircraft or under, relating to or in respect of the Operative Documents or otherwise, including, without limitation, under or in respect of any of Lessee’s payment or indemnity obligations, shall be increased or altered, and none of Lessee’s rights and benefits under any Operative Document shall be diminished, as a result of or in connection with the Assignment and Assumption or any aspect thereof or any other transaction relating thereto (it being acknowledged that an increase in the number of indemnitees shall not, of itself, constitute an increase in Lessee’s obligations under the Operative Documents).

11. Miscellaneous.

(a) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(d) To the extent that Assignee or any of its properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, and whether under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (or any successor legislation) or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon any Operative Documents to which it is a party, including, without limitation, immunity from suit or service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal or execution of a judgment, or immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, Assignee hereby irrevocably and expressly waives any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States or elsewhere.

RE-REGISTRATION CONDITIONS

Lessee’s right to cause or permit the Aircraft to be re-registered pursuant to Section 7(a) of the Lease is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions below or waiver thereof by Lessor and Owner Participant, as applicable:

(a) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the date of such request or at the effective date of the change in registration; provided that it shall not be necessary to comply with this condition if the change in registration involves the registration of the Aircraft under the laws of the United States;

(b) each of Lessor and Owner Participant shall have received a legal opinion addressed to it from counsel to Lessee admitted to practice in the jurisdiction of registration (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to Owner Participant) (i) to the effect that (A) after giving effect to such change in registration, all filing, recording or other action necessary to perfect and protect Lessor’s rights and interests in and to the Aircraft and the Lease has been accomplished (or if such opinion cannot be given at the time by which Lessor has been requested to consent to a change in registration, (x) the opinion shall detail what filing, recording or other action is necessary and (y) Lessor and Owner Participant shall have received a certificate from Lessee that all possible preparations to accomplish such filing, recording and other action shall have been done, and such filing, recording and other action shall be accomplished and a supplemental opinion to that effect shall be delivered to Lessor and Owner Participant on or prior to the effective date of such change in registration), (B) the terms of the Lease are legal, valid and binding and enforceable against Lessee in such jurisdiction (subject to bankruptcy and equitable remedies exceptions and other customary exceptions), and (C) it is not necessary for Lessor or Owner Participant to qualify to do business in such jurisdiction or otherwise satisfy any other applicable law, rule or regulation existing at the date of such request (or if such opinion cannot be given, the opinion shall detail what other existing law, rule or regulation must be satisfied by Lessor or Owner Participant, as the case may be) solely as a result of the proposed re-registration, and (ii) if such re-registration is in connection with a sublease to a Permitted Sublessee and such country is not, at the time of re-registration, the United States or a Permitted Country, to the effect that there exist no possessory rights in favor of Permitted Sublessee under the laws of such country that would, assuming at such time Permitted Sublessee is not insolvent or bankrupt, prevent the return of the Aircraft in accordance with and when permitted by the terms of Sections 14 and 15 of the Lease upon the exercise of remedies by Lessor of its remedies in accordance with Section 15 of the Lease in connection with an Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing;

(c) Lessor and Owner Participant shall have received assurances reasonably satisfactory to Owner Participant to the effect that the insurance provisions of the Lease shall have been complied with after giving effect to such change in registration;

SCHEDULE B

Page 1

(d) such re-registration will not result in the imposition by such country of any Taxes on Lessor or Owner Participant for which Lessee is not required to indemnify Lessor or Owner Participant, as the case may be, unless Lessee agrees to indemnify Lessor or Owner Participant, as the case may be, for any Taxes imposed by such country in connection with or relating to the transactions contemplated by the Lease that would not have been imposed but for such re-registration; provided that it shall not be necessary to comply with the conditions contained in this clause (d) if such change in registration results in the re-registration of the Aircraft under the laws of the United States, except to the extent that the provisions of the tax indemnification provisions relating to Lessor or Owner Participant, as the case may be, were amended in effecting a previous foreign registration;

(e) such re-registration will not divest Lessor of title to the Aircraft; and

(f) Lessee shall have paid or made provision for the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of Lessor and Owner Participant in connection with such change in registration;

provided, further, that Lessee shall not cause the Aircraft to be registered under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction without the prior written consent of Owner Participant if (1) the civil aviation laws of such foreign jurisdiction impose unusual requirements on lessors of civil aircraft, and (2) Lessor or Owner Participant, as the case may be, would be required to comply with such unusual requirements upon the registration of the Aircraft in such foreign jurisdiction, and compliance therewith by Lessor or Owner Participant, as the case may be, would result in a material burden on the business activities of Lessor or Owner Participant, as the case may be.

WHEREAS, it is a condition to the Lessee’s obligation to enter into the transactions contemplated by the Participation Agreement that Guarantor agrees to guarantee the obligations of the Owner Participant in each of the Operative Documents executed or to be executed by the Owner Participant or by which the Owner Participant is bound (such Operative Documents, in each case, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, being referred to herein as the “OP Documents”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Guarantor will not assert any right to which it may become entitled, whether by subrogation, contribution or otherwise, against the Owner Participant or any of its properties, by reason of the performance by Guarantor of its obligations under this Agreement, nor shall Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any reimbursement from the Owner Participant in respect of payments made by Guarantor until such time as all of the Obligations of the Owner Participant under the OP Documents shall be duly and fully performed.
