Notwithstanding anything else herein, the parties acknowledge that the Bankruptcy Code affords certain rights to the Lessee as a debtor and debtor-in-possession, including the automatic stay, and that the Lessor may be required to seek relief from the Bankruptcy Court prior to taking any action for repossession or recovery of the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part.

(iii) Statement of Account of Landing Fees or Navigation Charges. In the event that a Government Body of any country in which the Aircraft, the Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee operates shall adopt or has adopted legislation which permits the detention or seizure of aircraft for unpaid landing fees or navigation charges without formal legal proceedings, the Lessee shall promptly following demand, deliver to the Lessor a letter, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Lessor, addressed to the airport or air navigation authority of such country authorizing such authority to release to the Lessor from time to time a statement of account of all such fees and charges then due in respect of all aircraft owned by or leased to the Lessee or such Permitted Sublessee, as the case may be. Any time during which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, immediately upon request by the Lessor, the Lessee shall submit a report to the Lessor listing all landing fees and navigation charges which are claimed to be owed in respect of the Aircraft by any Government Body of any country.

 

(iv) No Operation by the Lessor. The Lessee shall in no event and at no time represent Lessor as carrying goods or passengers on the Aircraft or as being in any way connected or associated with any operation or carriage which may be undertaken by the Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee or as having any operational interest in the Aircraft.

 

(v) Seizure of the Aircraft. The Lessee shall not do, and shall use its best efforts to prevent, any act which could reasonably be expected to result in the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine being arrested, confiscated, seized, taken in execution, attached, impounded, forfeited, detained in exercise or purported exercise of any registered or possessory Lien or other claim or otherwise taken from the possession of the Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee, and if any such arrest, confiscation, seizure, execution, taking, attachment, impoundment, forfeiture, detention or other loss of possession occurs, the Lessee shall give the Lessor immediate notice thereof and shall forthwith procure the prompt release of the Aircraft, the Airframe or such Engine.

(i) Permitted Sublessee’s Performance and Rights. Any obligation imposed on the Lessee in this Lease shall require only that the Lessee perform or cause to be performed such obligation, even if stated herein as a direct obligation of the Lessee, and the full or partial performance of any such obligation by any permitted assignee, Permitted Sublessee or permitted transferee under a Permitted Sublease, pooling or transfer agreement then in effect shall be deemed to have been caused by the Lessee and shall pro tanto constitute performance by the Lessee and discharge such obligation by the Lessee to the extent performed; provided, however, that where performance consists of an agreement or undertaking for further action or performance or in the case of only partial performance, the Lessee shall remain liable for discharge of its obligations until such further action or performance is completed. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any right granted to the Lessee in this Lease shall grant the Lessee the right to exercise such right or permit such right to be exercised by any such permitted assignee, Permitted Sublessee or permitted transferee. The inclusion of specific references to obligations or rights of any such assignee, Permitted 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 assignee, Permitted Sublessee or transferee has not been made in this Lease.

Section 8. Replacement; Temporary Installation; Pooling; Alterations, Modifications and Additions; Etc.

 

(a) Replacement of Parts. The Lessee at its own cost and expense, will promptly replace or cause to be replaced all Parts that may from time to time be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine and that may from time to time be defective and not economically repairable, become time-expired or due for replacement or worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever. In addition, the Lessee (or any Permitted Sublessee) may, at its own cost and expense, remove in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, any Part, whether or not time-expired, due for replacement, worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use; provided, however, that the Lessee will, at its own cost and expense, replace (or cause to be replaced) such Part as promptly as practicable. Each Replacement Part shall be free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens) and shall be in at least as good operating condition as, and shall have value, utility, modification status and performance characteristics at least equal to, or, if applicable, comparable to, the Part replaced assuming such replaced Part was in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof. Each Part at any time removed from the Airframe or each Part removed from any Engine shall remain the property of the Lessor, no matter where located, until such time as such Part shall be replaced by a Part that has been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or, as the case may be, the Engine from which such Part was removed and that meets the requirements for a Replacement Part specified above and shall be subject to the Lien of the Local Mortgage. Immediately upon any Replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or, as the case may be, an Engine as above provided and title thereto being vested in the Lessor free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens), without further act (i) title to the replaced Part shall thereupon vest in the Lessee free and clear of all rights of the Lessor and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder and (ii) such Replacement Part shall become subject to this Lease and be deemed part of the Airframe or, as the case may be, such Engine for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or, as the case may be, such Engine.

 

(b) Temporary Installation of Parts. So long as the Lessor shall not have commenced exercising any of their rights pursuant to Section 15, the Lessee (or any Permitted Sublessee) may install or permit the installation of any Part on the Airframe or any Engine by way of substitution, replacement, renewal or mandatory modification notwithstanding that such installation is not in accordance with Section 8(a) if (A) there shall not have been available to the Lessee, or, as the case may be, the relevant Permitted Sublessee at the time and in the place that other part was required to be installed on the Airframe or, as the case may be, such Engine a substitute or replacement part complying with the requirements of Section 8(a), and (B) it would have resulted in a disruption of the operation of the Aircraft or the business of the Lessee or a Permitted Sublessee as an airline to have grounded the Aircraft to have permitted such Part to continue to be unserviceable or unrepaired until such time as a part complying with the requirements of Section 8(a) became available for installation on the Airframe or such Engine, and (C) as soon as practicable, but in any event (subject to the availability of any relevant part from the manufacturer) within ninety (90) days, the Lessee shall cause any part not complying with the requirements of Section 8(a) to be removed and replaced or substituted by a part complying with the requirements of Section 8(a).

 

-29-

 

 

(c) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Airframe or any Engine may be subjected by the Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee to a normal pooling arrangement on terms customary in the international airline industry entered into in the ordinary course of the Lessee’s business with other air carriers; provided, that the title to any Engine removed from the Aircraft shall remain vested in the Lessor at all times and such movement of engines shall not prejudice the rights of Lessor in the originally-installed engines or lead any third party to believe that the Engine is the property of any person other than the Lessor; provided, that the part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with Section 8(a) as promptly as possible (but in any event not later than the next scheduled heavy maintenance check) after the removal of such removed Part. In addition, any replacement Part when incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine in accordance with Section 8(a) may be owned by another air carrier subject to such a normal pooling arrangement; provided, that the Lessee (or the Permitted Sublessee), at its own cost and expense, as soon as practicable and in any event not later than the next scheduled heavy maintenance check; either (i) causes title to such replacement part to vest in the Lessor in accordance with Section 8(a) by the Lessee acquiring title thereto for the benefit of the Lessor free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and subjecting the same to the Local Mortgage or (ii) replaces such replacement Part by incorporating or installing in or attaching to the Airframe or such Engine a further replacement part owned by the Lessee (or the Permitted Sublessee) free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and by causing title to such further replacement Part to vest in the Lessor in accordance with Section 8(a) and subjecting the same to the Local Mortgage.

In addition, the Lessee (or any Permitted Sublessee), at its own cost and expense, may from time to time make such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine as the Lessee (or any Permitted Sublessee), including for the avoidance of doubt such alterations and modifications pursuant to Section 12(f) hereof, may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including installation of additional buyer furnished equipment or removal of Parts that the Lessee (or any Permitted Sublessee) determines to be obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on the Airframe or any Engine; provided, however, that no such alteration, modification or addition shall materially diminish the value, utility, remaining useful life, performance or operational characteristics of the Airframe or any Engine, or impair the condition or airworthiness thereof, below the value, utility, remaining useful life, performance or operational characteristics, condition or airworthiness thereof immediately prior to such alteration, modification or addition (assuming the Airframe or such Engine were then of the value, utility, remaining useful life, performance or operational characteristics, condition or airworthiness required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease); provided, further, that the Lessee shall consult with the Lessor prior to undertaking any material alteration or modification to the Aircraft. Title to all Parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Aircraft as the result of such alteration, modification or addition, shall immediately vest in the Lessor free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens) and become subject to this Lease and the Local Mortgage, without the necessity for any further act of transfer, document or notice. Notwithstanding Section 8(a) and the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(d) and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Lessor and Lessee agree that the Lessee (or any Permitted Sublessee) may (and, in connection with the return of the Aircraft, Lessor may request Lessee to), at any time during the Term, remove or suffer to be removed any Part (including buyer furnished equipment) that (i) is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine at the time of Delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of or substitution for any such Part, (ii) is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or such Engine pursuant to the terms of Section 7 or this Section 8 or in order to maintain insurance required by Section 10 or (iii) can be removed from the Airframe or any Engine without causing damage to the Airframe or such Engine or diminishing or impairing in any material respect the value, utility, remaining useful life, performance or operational characteristics, condition or airworthiness that the Airframe or such Engine would have had at such time had such removal not occurred (assuming the Airframe or such Engine were then of the value, utility, remaining useful life, performance or operational characteristics, condition or airworthiness required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease). Upon the removal by the Lessee (or any Permitted Sublessee) of any Part as provided in and permitted by this Section 8(d), title thereto shall, without further act, vest in the Lessee (or any Permitted Sublessee), and such Part shall no longer be deemed part of the Airframe or any Engine from which it was removed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Part not removed by the Lessee (or any Permitted Sublessee) as above provided prior to the return of the Airframe or any Engine to the Lessor hereunder shall become the property of the Lessor at the time of such return and become subject to the Local Mortgage. Lessor will bear no liability whatsoever for the cost of alterations, modifications and additions whether in the event of grounding or suspensions of certification, or for any other cause.

Prior to or at the time of any such conveyance, the Lessee, at its own expense, will (i) furnish or cause to be furnished to the Lessor a xxxx of sale (with full warranty of title) duly conveying to Lessor all right, title and interest in and to such Replacement Engine, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor with respect to such Replacement Engine, (ii) cause a supplement hereto, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor, subjecting such Replacement Engine to this Lease to be duly executed by the Lessee and, to the extent necessary, recorded pursuant to the Applicable Laws of the Government of Registry, (iii) furnish the Lessor with such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 10 with respect to such Replacement Engine as any of them may reasonably request and such other certifications and opinions of counsel as the Lessor may reasonably request, (iv) furnish the Lessor with a certificate of the aircraft engineer (who may be an employee of the Lessee), at Lessee’s expense, reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor certifying as to the value, utility, remaining useful life and operating condition and state of maintenance of such Replacement Engine, (v) cause amendments to the Local Mortgage, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor subjecting such Replacement Engine to the Local Mortgage to be duly executed by the Lessor and, to the extent necessary, recorded pursuant to the Applicable Laws of the Government of Registry, (vi) furnish a legal opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Lessor regarding the perfection of the Existing Lien and the Lien of the Local Mortgage with respect to such Replacement Engine and also to the effect that such fully warranty (as to title) xxxx of sale referred to in subclause (i) above constitutes an effective instrument for the conveyance of title to the Replacement Engine and, to the extent requested by the Lessor, an opinion of aviation law counsel addressed to the Lessor with respect to any registrations made under the Cape Town Convention, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Security Trustee, (vii) affix a nameplate on such Replacement Engine in accordance with Section 8(e), and (viii) cause an Engine Warranty Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor in respect of such Replacement Engine to be duly executed by the Lessor. Upon full compliance by the Lessee with the terms of this Section 9(b) the Lessor will (so long as no Event of Default or any Default relating to payments or Insolvency of the Lessee shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to insurer’s salvage rights, if any) transfer, or cause to be transferred, to or upon the order of, the Lessee on an “as-is, where-is” basis without recourse or warranty, all of the Lessor’s right, title and interest, if any, in and to each replaced Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred by an appropriate instrument, signed by the Lessor, releasing such Engine from any manufacturer’s or repairer’s warranties relating thereto and will take such other action as may be necessary to effect such transfer. For all purposes hereof, each such Replacement Engine shall, after such conveyance, be deemed part of the property leased hereunder and shall be deemed an “Engine” as defined herein. No Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under the circumstances contemplated by the terms of this Section 9(b) shall result in any reduction of Rent.

 

(c) Application of Payments from Governmental Authorities or Others. Any payments (other than Insurance Proceeds from policies carried (or caused to be carried) by the Lessee the application of which is provided for in Section 10 and other than proceeds of insurance policies carried by the Lessor) received at any time by the Lessor or the Lessee from any Government Body or other Person with respect to an Event of Loss of the Aircraft or any Engine shall be paid over to the Lessor.

(d) Requisition for Use of the Airframe. In the event of the requisition for use or hire by a Government Body not constituting an Event of Loss of the Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe, the Lessee shall promptly notify the Lessor of such requisition, and all of the Lessee’s obligations under this Lease shall continue to the extent such obligations are not restricted or curtailed by such requisition and to the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred (but the Lessee’s obligations to pay Rent and its obligations under Section 10 shall not be reduced or excused by such requisition). All payments received by the Lessor or the Lessee for the use of the Airframe and Engines or engines at any time shall be paid over to and retained by the Lessee; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in such event such payments shall be paid over to the Lessor and applied to the obligations of the Lessee hereunder. The Lessee shall as soon as practicable after the end of any requisition for use or hire, and whether that requisition shall end during or after the expiry or termination of the Term, cause the Aircraft to be put into the condition required by this Lease.

 

(e) Requisition for Use of an Engine Not Installed on the Airframe. If an Engine not then installed on the Airframe is requisitioned for use or hire by a Government Body, the Lessee shall replace such Engine or cause it to be replaced by complying with the terms of Section 9(b) hereof to the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to such Engine, and (upon compliance by the Lessee as aforesaid) any payments received by the Lessor or the Lessee with respect to such requisition shall, subject to Section 9(f), be paid over to and retained by the Lessee; provided that, if an Event of Default or any Default relating to payments or Insolvency of the Lessee has occurred and is continuing, in such event such payments shall be paid over to the Lessor.

Any amount referred to in this Section 9 which is payable or creditable to the Lessee shall not be paid or credited to the Lessee or, if it has been previously paid to the Lessee, shall not be retained by the Lessee, if at the time of such payment or credit a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be paid to and held by the Lessor as security for the obligations of the Lessee under this Lease and at such time as there shall not be continuing any Default or Event of Default such amount, if then remaining, shall be paid to the Lessee.

 

Section 10. Insurance.

 

(a) The Lessee shall, at its own expense, effect and maintain in full force (or cause to be effected and maintained in full force) during the Term insurances in respect of the Aircraft in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessor in accordance with this Section 10 (such insurances including any Reinsurances under Section 10(h) the “Insurances”). Unless otherwise stated in this Section 10, the Insurances shall be effected through such brokers and with such insurers with insurance companies of recognized responsibility and standing in the international aviation insurance industry through internationally recognized aviation insurance brokers which insurance companies and insurance brokers shall be reasonably acceptable to the Lessor, and subject to such deductibles and subject to such exclusions, as may (in each case) be approved by the Lessor (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Any liability insurance carried in accordance with this paragraph (b) and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any of such policies (i) shall be endorsed to name the Lessor and the Lessee (collectively the “Contract Parties”) and the Lessor Parent, WTC, any lease servicer and any financing party and each of their respective successors, assigns, officers, directors, affiliates, shareholders, members, agents, employees and servants as additional insureds (together with the Contract Parties, the “Additional Insureds”), (ii) shall provide that in respect of the interests of the Lessor or any other Additional Insured in such policies the insurance shall not be invalidated by any act or omission (including misrepresentation and non- disclosure) of the Lessee or any other Person which results in a breach of any term, condition or warranty of such policies (provided that the Additional Insured so protected has not directly caused, contributed to or knowingly condoned the said act or omission), (iii) shall provide that (x) there shall be no recourse against the Lessor or any other Additional Insured for the payment of premiums under such policies and that the insurers shall waive any right of subrogation against the Additional Insureds and (y) the insurers shall not exercise any right of subrogation against any other Person without the consent of the Lessor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iv) shall provide that, if such insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, or if any material change is made in such insurance that adversely affects the interest of the Lessor or any other Additional Insured, such cancellation or change shall not be effective as to the Lessor or any other Additional Insured for thirty (30) days (seven (7) days, or such other period as is then customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of any war risk and allied perils coverage) after the giving of written notice from such insurers to the Lessee’s appointed broker, (v) with respect to any aviation liability war risk coverages, shall conform to AVN52E or similar provisions or, if the Aircraft is registered in Brazil, such coverage will be provided by the Government of Brazil as described below, (vi) shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that is carried by any other Person to the extent that such other insurance provides it with contingent or excess liability insurance with respect to its interest as such in the Aircraft, (vii) shall 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, (viii) shall waive any right of the insurers to any setoff, counterclaim or other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the Lessee, the Lessor or any other Additional Insured to the extent of any moneys due from such parties (except in respect of outstanding premium in respect of the Aircraft), (ix) shall provide cover denominated in Dollars and (x) shall provide for worldwide coverage and it is noted and agreed that the insurers may give notice effective on the expiry of seven (7) days (subject to exceptions uniformly provided in war risk and related perils policies then available on commercially reasonable terms) from midnight G.M.T. on the day on which such notice is issued to review the geographical limit. The Lessee hereby covenants to cause its appointed insurance broker and the appointed reinsurance broker to give immediate notice of such cancellation or change by e-mail to the Lessor and request such broker or brokers also to give such notice to each of the Additional Insured identified to the Lessee by the Lessor. If the Aircraft is registered in Brazil, the War and Allied Perils legal liability insurance (AVN52E) and all other Aviation War Risk Liability amounts can be provided by the Government of Brazil pursuant to Brazilian Law Nº. 10.744 dated October 9, 2003.

(c) Aircraft Hull Insurance. On or prior to the Delivery Date and throughout the Term (and, in the case of the termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 15 hereof and except to the extent otherwise provide in Section 10(a) or Section 10(b), at all times following such termination until the sale or disposition of the Aircraft) the Lessee shall maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect, at its own expense and on terms substantially similar to insurance carried by the Lessee on similar aircraft in its fleet, all-risk aircraft hull insurance covering the Aircraft, while flying and on the ground, including coverage of the Engines and Parts while temporarily removed from or not installed on the Aircraft and not replaced with similar components (with flight, taxiing and ingestion coverages), against loss or damage, of the type (but not necessarily the amount) usually insured against by corporations engaged in the same or a similar business, similarly situated with the Lessee, and owning or operating similar aircraft and engines on an agreed-value basis in an amount not less than the Agreed Value (with respect to the initial insurance coverage to be effective on such date) or the applicable Base Rent Payment Date immediately preceding the commencement of any year or other period in respect of which the relevant policy is to be in force whether by renewal or otherwise from time to time, and all-risk insurance with respect to each Engine and Part while removed from the Aircraft, and, as to each Engine or Part not installed on the Airframe, not less than the fair market value of such Engine or Part, at the commencement of such year or other period.

 

The Lessee shall maintain in full force and effect war-risk and related perils hull insurance (including the risks of hijacking and confiscation by any government) in respect of the Aircraft on an agreed value basis in conformity with LSW555D throughout each policy year, for not less than the amounts set forth in the preceding paragraph covering the perils that are (A) insured by the Lessee with respect to other aircraft owned or leased, and operated by the Lessee and (B) customarily insured by air carriers with comparable route structures flying similar aircraft to insure and (C) generally required to be insured by financiers and lessors of similar aircraft being operated by air carriers with comparable route structures.

 

All policies and subsequent policies taken out in accordance with this Section 10(c) will be issued by insurance companies of recognized standing in the international aviation insurance industry through internationally recognized aviation insurance brokers, which insurance companies, insurance brokers and the policy terms shall be reasonably acceptable to the Lessor. In addition, all such policies and subsequent policies:

 

(i) shall be on an agreed value basis without the insurer’s right to replace; 

 

(ii) shall name the Lessor (or, if requested by Lessor, any security trustee) as sole contract party and sole loss payee (or an equivalent designation under AVN67B) in respect of hull claims that become payable on the basis of a total loss and provide that payment in respect of any total loss claim shall be made to or to the order of the Lessor (or the equivalent under AVN67B) and in respect of all other hull claims the loss will be settled with such party(ies) as may be necessary to repair the Airframe or any Engine;

 

(iii) shall provide that in respect of the interests of each Additional Insured in such policies the insurance shall not be invalidated by any act or omission (including misrepresentation and non-disclosure) of the Lessee or any other Person which results in a breach of any term, condition or warranty of such policies (provided that such Additional Insured has not directly caused, contributed to or knowingly condoned the said act or omission);

 

(iv) shall provide that there shall be no recourse against the Lessor or any Additional Insured for the payment of premiums under such policies (but reserve the right to pay the same should any of them elect to do so);

 

(v) shall provide that, if such insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, or if any material change is made in such insurance which adversely affects the interests of any Additional Insured, such cancellation or change shall not be effective as to Additional Insureds for thirty (30) days (or seven (7) days, or such other period as is then customarily obtainable in the industry, in the case of any war risk and allied perils coverage) after the giving of written notice from such insurers to the Contract Parties;

 

(vi) provide cover denominated in Dollars; and

 

(vii) shall be on terms customarily found in the international aviation insurance market.

 

The hull policy for the Aircraft:

 

(A) shall waive any right of the insurers to any setoff, counterclaim or other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the Additional Insureds or any other Person to the extent of any moneys due from such parties (except in respect of outstanding premium in respect of the Aircraft);

 

(B) if separate hull “all risks” and “war risks” insurances are arranged, each shall contain a 50/50 claims funding clause acceptable to the Lessor and in accordance with market practice in the event of a dispute as to which policy in respect of the hull insurances set forth in this Section 10(c) shall pay in the event of a loss,

 

(C) shall provide for worldwide coverage and it is noted and agreed that the insurers may give notice effective on the expiry of seven (7) days (subject to exceptions uniformly provided in war risk policies then available on commercially reasonable terms) from midnight G.M.T. on the day on which such notice is issued to review the geographical limit, and

 

-37-

 

  

(D) shall have deductibles (not applicable in the case of

REDACTED*

in respect of “spares risks” and (y) the lowest deductible which is then customary in the international aviation insurance market in respect of Airbus A321-200 aircraft, and in any event such deductible shall not be greater than those which other international airlines of comparable standing (in the reasonable judgment of the Lessor’s independent insurance advisor) to the Lessee operating comparable aircraft are able to obtain in such market. “Fleet Aggregate” deductibles and sub-limits of liability which are not approved in writing by the Lessor shall not be applicable in respect of the insurances required hereunder.

 

(E) shall provide that in respect of the Engines, the minimum permitted agreed value amount of the “Hull War and Allied Perils” shall increase to include the value of any engine attached to the Airframe which is not an Engine.

 

Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 10(c), any amount referred to in this Section 10(c) which is payable to the Lessee shall not be paid to the Lessee or, if it has been previously paid directly to the Lessee shall not be retained by the Lessee if at the time of such payment a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be paid to and held by the Lessor as security for the obligations of the Lessee under this Lease and, during the continuance of such Default or Event of Default, shall be applied to the satisfaction of the then due and payable obligations of the Lessee under this Lease, and, at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Default or Event of Default, the remainder of such amount shall be paid to the Lessee.

 

(d) Default. If the Lessee shall default in effecting or maintaining any insurance or provision thereof required hereunder or if any insurance shall for any reason become void the Lessee shall provide immediate written notice of such to the Lessor and provide the Lessor with full details of any steps the Lessee is taking, or proposes to take, in order to remedy such non- compliance, and the Lessor or any other Contract Party may (but without any obligation to do so and without prejudice to the Lessor’s other rights and remedies hereunder) procure and maintain new insurance satisfactory to it or pay the premia or other amounts due or otherwise effect and keep up insurance at the sole cost of the Lessee, and the Lessee will forthwith and immediately upon demand repay to any such Person all premiums and other moneys from time to time paid by such Person in respect of such insurance, together with interest thereon at the Past Due Rate for the period from and including the date of such payment by such party to but excluding the date on which the same is paid in full by the Lessee. At any time while such default shall be continuing, the Lessee shall immediately ground the Aircraft and shall keep or procure that the Aircraft be kept grounded until such time as the Insurances shall again be in full force and effect and the Lessor shall be entitled to require the Aircraft to remain at any airport or proceed to and remain at any airport designated by the Lessor.

 

(e) Certificates. On or before the Delivery Date and promptly after the issuance or modification or renewal thereof (but in any event prior to the expiration of any insurance then to be renewed) in form substantially similar to those given prior to or on the Delivery Date, the Lessee, at its own cost and expense, will furnish to the Lessor (i) a certificate of its insurance and reinsurance broker addressed to the Lessor (or as notified to the Lessee by the Lessor) describing in reasonable detail the Insurances and Reinsurances then carried and maintained on the Aircraft via e-mail, (A) containing an endorsement of the Insurances and Reinsurances required hereunder, (B) certifying the date and time of commencement and expiry of each insurance policy, and (C) specifying the deductible amounts and levels of co-insurance, if any, for each type of loss and (ii) a letter of undertaking from the Lessee’s insurance and reinsurance brokers with regard to the Insurances and Reinsurances required hereunder, which letters shall include the undertaking described in the penultimate sentence of Section 10(b).

(f) Notice of Variations. If any adverse material variation is made to the terms of any of the Insurances or Reinsurances, the Lessee shall forthwith give notice to the Lessor of such variation and shall provide such further details in relation thereto as any of them may reasonably require.

 

(g) Premiums. The Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid the premiums and other charges (or installments thereof) as required by the terms of such policies. In the case of renewals of such policies, the Lessee shall cause to be produced to the Lessor and the Lessor evidence of such renewal as soon as practicable and in any event within seven (7) days after the date of renewal and shall give each of them notice of such intended renewal no later than the day before such date and the Lessee shall pay the renewal and other premiums (and installments thereof) as required by the terms of such policies.

 

(h) Reinsurance. Notwithstanding Section 10(a), the Lessee shall procure that in respect of the Insurances maintained by the Lessee in accordance with the provisions in this Section 10 which are not placed directly into the Lloyd’s of London or other internationally recognized aviation insurance markets such Insurances shall be reinsured in Lloyd’s of London or other internationally recognized aviation insurance markets with reinsurers of international standing and repute who normally participate in aircraft insurance programs, the insurers shall maintain reinsurance in all respects reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor covering identical subject matter, terms and risk for an amount equal to not less than 75% of the coverage amount (or such higher percentage as Lessee shall from time to time generally have agreed in leasing or financing agreements relating to other aircraft of the same or comparable model within Lessee’s fleet) on terms reasonably acceptable to the Lessor (the “Reinsurances”). Any Reinsurances shall contain a “cut-through” clause in the form generally used from time to time in the London reinsurance market providing that, in the event of any claim arising under the Reinsurances, the reinsurers thereunder shall, in lieu of payment to the original insurer or its successors in interest and assigns, pay to or to the order of the Contract Parties as loss payees that portion of any loss due for which the reinsurers thereunder would but for this cut-through clause be liable to pay the original insurer or its successors in interest and assigns, it being understood and agreed (and Lessee agreeing to obtain the agreement of its original insurers for the benefit of the Additional Insureds and the reinsurers) that any such payment by the reinsurers thereunder shall fully discharge and release the original insurers from any and all further liability in connection therewith.

 

(i) Location. Except as otherwise expressly permitted herein, the Lessee shall not at any time do or suffer to be done to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part thereof or the premises on which the same may be located, or bring or keep, or permit to be brought or kept, anything therein or thereon or operate the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part thereof or take the same to or keep the same in, or permit the same to be taken to or kept in, a place where or whereby any insurance required hereunder may be rendered void or voidable or no longer in force or coverage thereunder shall be limited, without first arranging at its own expense such additional Insurance coverage as shall be necessary to avoid such result, such additional insurance to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessor. The Lessee will pay or cause to be paid all additional insurance premiums required on account of the additional risk caused by the use to which the Aircraft is put as aforesaid.

 

-39-

 

 

(j) Certain Undertakings in Respect of the Insurances.

 

(i) The Lessee shall:

 

(A) not make or permit to be made any modification to the Insurances required hereunder which is materially adverse to the interest of any Contract Party, including any Additional Insured;

 

(B) not do, or omit to do, or permit to be done, or left undone anything whereby any required Insurance would or might reasonably be expected to be rendered, in whole or in part, invalid or unenforceable and, without prejudice to the foregoing, not use or keep or permit the Aircraft or any Part thereof, to be used or kept for any purpose, in any manner or in any place not covered by required Insurances and Reinsurances (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein); and

 

(C) not discriminate against the Aircraft relative to other aircraft of the same or comparable model within the Lessee’s fleet as to the coverage of the Insurances and Reinsurances required under this Section 10.

 

(ii) The Lessee shall, as soon as practicable, following receipt of any notice of cancellation of the war risks and related perils insurance due to armed hostilities in the area where the Aircraft may then be located or scheduled to operate, remove the Aircraft or cause the Aircraft to be removed to Chile, Brazil or the United States (or such other location at which the Aircraft shall remain covered by war risks and related perils insurance) and shall cause the Aircraft to remain in such location until such Insurance is reinstated and compliance herewith shall cure any Event of Default under Section 14(c); provided, however, that the Lessee need not comply with the provisions of this subclause (ii) if to do so would cause the Lessee to breach any other obligation contained herein.

 

(iii) The Lessee shall be responsible for any applicable deductibles or costs of any Insurances.

 

(k) Reimbursement. The Lessee shall promptly reimburse the Lessor on demand for the amount of any premiums or premium installments which such party may pay pursuant to this Section 10 together with interest thereon, for the period from and including the date of such payment by such party to but excluding the date on which the same is paid in full by the Lessee at the Past Due Rate.

 

(l) Change in Industry Practice. In the event that there is a material change in the generally accepted industry-wide practice with regard to the insurance of aircraft (whether relating to all or any of the types of Insurances required to be effected under the foregoing provisions of this Section 10) such that the Insurances required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10 are insufficient to protect the interests of the Lessor or any of the other Additional Insureds hereunder in accordance with such generally accepted industry practice, the insurance requirements set forth in this Section 10 shall be varied at the request of the Lessor so as to include such additional or varied requirements as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that the Insurances and Reinsurances as so varied shall provide comparable protection to that of the generally accepted industry-wide practice.

 

-40-

 

 

(m) Compliance with Legal Requirements. In addition to the foregoing provisions of this Section 10, throughout the Term the Lessee shall comply with all legal requirements as to the insurance of the Aircraft or Engines which may from time to time be imposed by the Applicable Laws of the jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is registered or of any jurisdiction to or from or over which the Aircraft or Engine shall be flown or in which the same shall be located or which the Lessee may be subject.

 

(n) Additional Insurance. The Lessee shall have the right to carry insurance in excess of the amounts required hereunder and additional and separate insurance for its own benefit at its own expense; provided that, no such insurance shall prejudice the effectiveness in any way (whether or not material) of any Insurances required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 10 or the recovery of any proceeds thereunder, or shall impair in any way (whether or not material) the rights of the Lessor or any other Additional Insured under this Lease. Proceeds of such insurance shall be payable directly to the Lessee.

 

(o) Additional Terms of Insurance. The Lessee agrees to ensure that the insurance policies in respect of all Insurances referred to in Section 10(b) and (c) above shall at all times be underwritten in full and in the case of liability insurance under Section 10(b) contain a statement that such Insurances are primary without right of contribution from any other liability insurance which is carried by the Lessor.

 

(p) Self Insurance. Except for the deductibles permitted by Section 10(b) hereof, standard market deductibles in relation to third-party liability insurance solely with respect to baggage or cargo or any self-insurance permitted or required pursuant to Section 10(k) hereof, the Lessee shall not be permitted (and shall not permit any Permitted Sublessee) to self-insure against any of the risks required to be covered by the insurance described in this Section 10.

 

(q) AVN67B. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Lease, for so long as Airline Finance/Lease Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx XXX00X is in effect and it remains the general aviation insurance market practice to insure equipment financed or leased on the basis of such endorsement, the Lessee may maintain insurances in respect of the Aircraft for the purposes of this Lease which incorporate the terms and conditions of AVN67B. To the extent any provision of AVN67B conflicts or is otherwise inconsistent with the requirements of this Lease, then such AVN67B endorsement will be deemed to satisfy the relevant requirements of this Lease. An insurance certificate in the form of AVN67B will be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this Lease.

Section 11. Absolute Obligations. This Lease is a net lease, and, except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein, it is intended that the Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all costs, charges, fees, assessments, expenses, withholdings and Taxes of every character whether foreseen or unforeseen, ordinary or extraordinary, incurred in connection with or arising out of the import, use, operation, maintenance, repair, modification, alteration, replacement, leasing, subleasing and sale of the Aircraft and any other amounts hereunder during the Term. The Lessee’s obligation to pay all Rent and to perform all other obligations hereunder is absolute and unconditional and, except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein, shall not be affected or reduced by any circumstances or for any reason, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Lessee may have against the Owner, the Lessor, any Financier, the Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer or any Person providing services with respect to the Aircraft, or any other Person, for any reason whatsoever (whether in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise), including any breach by the Lessor of its warranties contained herein; (ii) any defect in the title, airworthiness, eligibility of registration under any Applicable Law, condition, design, operation, or fitness for use of, or any damage to or loss or destruction of, the Aircraft or any portion thereof (subject to the provisions of Section 9 hereof), any interruption or cessation in the use of or possession thereof by or availability to the Lessee for any reason whatsoever, whether arising out of or related to an act or omission of the Owner, the Lessor, any Financier, the Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer or any other Person; (iii) any Lien with respect to the Aircraft or any portion thereof; (iv) the invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization or other infirmity of this Lease; (v) any Taxes; (vi) any change, waiver, extension, indulgence or liability or other act or omission in respect of any liability or obligation of the Owner, Lessor or any Financier; (vii) any bankruptcy, Insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, Liquidation Proceeding or other like proceeding relating to the Lessee, the Owner, the Lessor or any Financier or any disaffirmance, rejection or other action taken with respect to this Lease by the Owner, the Lessor, Financier or any other Person, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (viii) the Lessee at any time having immunity from suit, prejudgment attachment, attachment in aid of execution or execution on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, which immunity, if any, the Lessee hereby expressly waives; (ix) any restrictions applicable to the Lessee on the transfer or conversion of currency; or (x) any other circumstances or happening of any nature whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; it being the express intention of the Lessor and the Lessee that all Rent payable hereunder shall be payable in all events, unless the obligation to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease.

 

This Lease shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, be cancelable by the Lessee and, except as expressly set forth elsewhere in this Lease, the Lessee hereby waives 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, xxxxx, cancel, quit, reduce, defer, suspend or surrender this Lease or the Aircraft or any obligation imposed upon the Lessee hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of Rent), except in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.

Section 16. Further Assurances. The Lessee and the Lessor shall from time to time, at the cost and expense of the Lessee, do and perform such other and further acts and duly execute and deliver such further documents and assurances as may be required by Applicable Laws or as reasonably requested by the one party to establish, maintain and protect the respective rights and remedies of the other party and to carry out and effect the intent and purpose of this Lease including, if requested by the Lessor and at the expense of the Lessee, the execution and delivery of supplements hereto, in recordable form, subjecting to this Lease, any replacement or substitute engine and the recording or filing of counterparts hereto or thereto, in accordance with Applicable Laws as the Lessor may from time to time reasonably deem necessary after prior consultation with the Lessee. The Lessee shall be solely responsible for obtaining all required consents and approvals of, giving all required notices to, performing all required registrations and filings for recordation with, and taking all other necessary actions in Chile, Brazil, the Government of Registry or the United States, including any governmental or political agency, subdivision or instrumentality thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lessee shall cause this Lease, and any and all additional instruments which shall be executed pursuant to the terms hereof, to be kept, filed, deposited or recorded, at all times, in such places in Chile, Brazil, the Government of Registry, the jurisdiction where Liens are perfected against the Lessor (if different), and such other jurisdictions in which the Aircraft is based as the Lessor may reasonably request in order to perfect and preserve the rights of the Lessor hereunder, and furnish to the Lessor an opinion or opinions of counsel or other evidence satisfactory to the Lessor of each such filing, deposit or recordation and, without limitation of any of the foregoing, at the request of the Lessor, promptly correct any defect, error or omission which may at any time hereafter be discovered in the contents of this Lease or in the execution, acknowledgment or delivery hereof and, at the request and cost of the Lessee, the Lessor shall promptly correct any defect, error or omission which may at any time be discovered in the contents of this Lease or in the execution, acknowledgment or delivery hereof. Without limiting any of the foregoing, the Lessee will cooperate fully with the Lessor for obtaining the deregistration of the Aircraft and any required export licenses, when requested by the Lessor upon any return of the Aircraft required hereunder.

 

Section 17. Quiet Enjoyment. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Lessor agrees and covenants that, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, neither Lessor nor any person claiming lawfully by or through Lessor will interfere with Lessee’s (or any Permitted Sublessee’s) quiet use, enjoyment and possession of the Aircraft during the applicable Term. The exercise by Lessor of its respective rights under this Lease will not constitute such an interference.

Section 19. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Governing Law. THIS LEASE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

 

(b) Jurisdiction and Service of Process. Any suit, action or proceeding against any of the parties hereto with respect to this Lease or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases must be brought in the Bankruptcy Court and each party hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court for the purposes of any such suit, action or proceedings. Otherwise, such any suit, action or proceeding may be brought in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and each party hereto submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit, action or proceeding. The Lessee hereby agrees that service of all writs, process and summonses in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts may be made upon the Process Agent, and the Lessee hereby irrevocably appoints the Process Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead (as well as that of its respective successors and assigns) to accept such service of any and all such writs, process and summonses, and agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service of process to it shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment based thereon. Each of the Lessee and the Lessor further agrees (to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws) that a final judgment against it in any such action or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law, a certified or true copy of which final judgment shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and of the amount of any indebtedness or liability of the Lessee or the Lessor, as the case may be, therein described. The Lessee agrees that (x) the sole responsibilities of the Process Agent shall be (i) to receive such process, (ii) to send a copy of any such process so received to the Lessee, as applicable by airmail, or overnight courier at its address set forth in Section 18, or at the last address filed in writing by it with the Process Agent and (iii) to give prompt facsimile notice of receipt thereof to the Lessee, at such address and (y) the Process Agent shall have no responsibility for the receipt or nonreceipt by the Lessee of such process. The Lessee hereby agrees to pay to the Process Agent such compensation as shall be agreed upon from time to time by it and the Process Agent for the Process Agents’ services hereunder. The Lessee hereby agrees that its submission to jurisdiction and its designation of the Process Agent is made for the express benefit of the Lessor and its respective successors, subrogees and assigns. The Lessee agrees that it will at all times continuously maintain a process agent to receive service of process in the City, County and State of New York on behalf of itself and its properties with respect to this Lease and shall give each party hereto written notice prior to any change of address for such agent, and in the event that, for any reason, the process agent named pursuant to this Section 19(b) shall no longer serve as process agent to receive service of process on the Lessee’s behalf, the Lessee shall promptly appoint a successor Process Agent. The Lessee hereby irrevocably further consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in said courts by the mailing thereof by any party hereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at its address specified in Section 18 hereto. Nothing in this Section 19(b) shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of such party or its successors, subrogees or assigns to bring any action or proceeding against the Lessee or the Lessor or any of their respective property in the courts of other jurisdictions. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Lease brought in any of the aforesaid courts in New York and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

-58-

 

 

(c) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AS AGAINST THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL IN RESPECT OF ANY CIVIL ACTION BASED HEREON OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO RELATING TO THIS LEASE.

 

(d) Severability. Any provision of this Lease that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction, and shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the other provisions hereof in any jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

 

(e) Immunity. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the activities contemplated by the provisions of this Lease are commercial in nature rather than governmental or public and therefore acknowledges and agrees that it is not entitled to any right of immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise with respect to such activities or in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Lease. Each such party in respect of itself and its properties and revenues, expressly and irrevocably waives any such right of immunity (including, but not limited to, any immunity from suit, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, from set-off, from any execution, or attachment in aid of execution prior to judgment or otherwise or from any other legal process) or claim thereto which may now or hereafter exist (whether or not claimed) and irrevocably agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such action or proceeding that may at any time be commenced, whether in the United States of America or otherwise.

 

(f) Cape Town Immunity. Each party hereto hereby waives any immunity from suit, from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal or judicial process or remedy and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby waives in accordance with Article XXII of the Cape Town Aircraft Protocol any sovereign immunity from jurisdiction of the courts specified in Section 19(b) or relating to the enforcement of rights and interests relating to the Aircraft, the Airframe and/or any Engine. This Section 19(f) shall only be effective if the Cape Town Convention comes into force in the State of Registration.

 

(g) Counterparts. This Lease may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall, subject to the legend on the cover of this instrument, be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

-59-

 

 

Section 20. Lessor’s Right to Perform for the Lessee. If the Lessee fails to make any payment of Rent required to be made by it hereunder or fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Lessor (so long as it is wholly-owned by the Lessee or an Affiliate thereof) may (but shall be under no obligation to) itself make such payment or perform or comply with such agreement, and the amount of such payment and the amount of the proper expenses of the Lessor incurred in connection with such payment or the performance of or compliance with such agreement, as the case may be, shall be deemed Rent, payable by the Lessee upon demand together with interest thereon at the Past Due Rate.

 

Section 21. English Language Prevails. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lessor and the Lessee agree any translation of this Lease shall not apply in construing this Lease and that the English version of this Lease shall govern for all purposes.

 

Section 22. Complete Agreement. This Lease contains the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior written or oral communications or agreements with respect thereto.

 

Section 23. No Merger of Title. There shall be no merger of this Lease or of the leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the fact that the same Person may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, (i) this Lease or the leasehold estate created hereby or any interest in this Lease or such leasehold estate, (ii) the fee estate in the Aircraft, or (iii) a beneficial interest in the Lessor.

 

Section 24. Variation. This Lease shall not be varied otherwise than by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the Lessor and the Lessee.

 

Section 25. Illegality

 

(a) If a Lessor Illegality Event or a Lessee Illegality Event occurs then, subject always to this Section 25(a), the Lessor may by notice in writing to the Lessee terminate the leasing of the Aircraft under this Lease, such termination to take effect on the earlier of (x) the latest date on which the Lessor or the Lessee, as the case may be, may continue such leasing and perform their respective obligations hereunder without being in breach of Applicable Law and (y) the date on which the Lessor determines (acting reasonably) that it must give notice in writing to the Lessee to terminate the leasing of the Aircraft under this Lease to ensure that its rights under this Lease and in and to the Aircraft are not adversely affected as a result of the occurrence of the relevant Lessor Illegality Event or Lessee Illegality Event, as the case may be (the “Effective Date”), and:

 

(i) in case of a Lessee Illegality Event: the Lessee shall as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the Effective Date (or such longer period as the Lessor may agree) redeliver the Aircraft to the Lessor in accordance with Section 5 (Return of the Aircraft), and the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor amounts equal to those specified in Section 15(c) (Payments). The provisions of Section 15(d) (Sale or re-lease of the Aircraft) and Section 15(e) (Deregistration) shall apply in respect of any such termination; or

 

(ii) in case of a Lessor Illegality Event: the Lessee shall as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the Effective Date (or such longer period as the Lessor may agree) redeliver the Aircraft to the Lessor in accordance with Section 5 (Return of the Aircraft) but with the redelivery conditions set out in subclause (c) below (Return Condition applicable to Lessor Illegality) applying instead of those return conditions set out in Schedule 7 (Redelivery Procedure and Return Conditions). The provisions of Section 15(e) (Deregistration) shall apply in respect of any such termination.

 

-60-

 

 

(b) The Lessor and the Lessee shall consult in good faith for a period commencing on the date that the parties became aware of the unlawfulness and ending on the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days thereafter and (ii) the Effective Date, as to any steps which may be taken to restructure the transaction to avoid such unlawfulness and to enter into substitute arrangements which are valid, legal and enforceable and which have the same commercial effect as this Lease.

 

(c) Return Condition applicable to Lessor Illegality

 

(i) In circumstances where the Lessee is obliged to redeliver the Aircraft pursuant to Section 25(a) following the occurrence of a Lessor Illegality Event, the Lessee shall not be obliged to return the Aircraft in accordance with the return conditions set out in Schedule 7 (Redelivery Procedure and Return Conditions) and shall only be obliged to return the Aircraft in accordance with the following conditions which shall apply instead of those set out in Schedule 7 (Redelivery Procedure and Return Conditions):

 

(A) the Aircraft shall be returned with a current Certificate of Airworthiness with no exceptions and, if applicable, the Lessee will assist the Lessor in obtaining an Export Certificate of Airworthiness issued by the Aviation Authority to the next country of registry (such country to be designated in writing by the Lessor to the Lessee in sufficient time to enable the Lessee to arrange for the issue of the same by the Aviation Authority);

 

(B) the Airframe shall have its next sequential “A” check or C Check completed (whichever is more limiting);

 

(C) the Lessee will facilitate other reconfiguration work requested by the Lessor at the Lessor’s cost. Any such reconfiguration work will not involve any major modifications or alterations to the Aircraft. The Lessee shall not pay Rent while the Aircraft undergoes any additional work requested by the Lessor and the Lessee shall undertake such work if the Lessee is satisfied that it will not delay the process of redelivering the Aircraft to the Lessor. The Lessee agrees to notify the Lessor if the work requested by the Lessor will affect the timing of the redelivery of the Aircraft and provide the Lessor with a reasonable explanation as to why this is the case;

 

(1) the Engines will be returned in serviceable condition with no abnormal deterioration in the performance of any Engine;

 

(2) the APU will be serviceable;

 

(3) each Engine and the APU shall pass a magnetic chip detection inspection in accordance with the Manufacturer’s Aircraft Maintenance Manual;

 

-61-

 

 

(4) all Parts, taken as a group shall have an average total Flight Hours and Cycles since new no more than 115% of the total Flight Hours and Cycles since new accumulated on the Airframe or applicable Engine;

 

(5) there shall be no temporary, time-limited or interim repairs on the Aircraft unless the Manufacturer specifically recommends such repair;

 

(6) the Lessee shall pay the amounts specified in Schedule 5 (Redelivery Maintenance Payment Adjustments) in respect of the period up to the date on which the Aircraft is redelivered to the Lessor pursuant to this Section 25(c)(i) and the Lessor shall promptly refund to the Lessee an amount equal to the balance of the Security Deposit (to the extent received by the Lessor);

 

(7) all Aircraft systems software shall be up-to-date as of the date on which the Lessee redelivers the Aircraft in accordance with this Section 25(c)(i); and

 

(8) wheels, tires and brakes shall be serviceable.

 

(d) Provided the Lessee has complied with its obligations under Section 25(c)(i) above, following the Aircraft being redelivered by the Lessee to the Lessor in accordance with the conditions specified above, the Lessor will deliver to the Lessee written acknowledgement confirming that the Lessee has redelivered the Aircraft to the Lessor in accordance with Section 25(c)(i) above.

(b)The cost of each Qualifying Event shall then be divided by the following (each, a “Qualifying Event Interval”) to produce the reserve amount;

 

*All text marked “*REDACTED” is Redacted Per Amended Standing Order Regarding Redactions Dated February 2, 2021.

 

 

 

 

(i)in respect of the Airframe 6 Year Check, 72 months (the “Airframe 6 Year Reserve Amount”).

 

(ii)in respect of the Airframe 12 Year Check, 144 months (the “Airframe 12 Year Reserve Amount”).

 

(iii)in respect of each engine performance restoration shop visit, the mean time between engine performance restoration shop visits as experienced by the Lessees fleet during the preceding 8 years (the “Engine Performance Restoration Reserve Amount”). Lessee shall provide Lessor any reasonable documentation requested to support such calculation.

 

(iv)in respect of the Landing Gear, 120 Months (the “Landing Gear Reserve Amount”).

 

(v)in respect of the APU the mean time between APU power section refurbishment as experienced by the Lessees fleet during the preceding 8 years (the “APU Reserve Amount”). Lessee shall provide Lessor any reasonable documentation requested to support such calculation.

 

(c)The Redelivery Maintenance Adjustment shall then be calculated;

 

(i)in respect of the Airframe 6 Year Check, the product of (1) Airframe 6 Year Reserve Amount multiplied by (2) the difference between (i) the number of calendar months since the last airframe 6 Year Check (or (if none) since new) as of the date of the Technical Acceptance Certificate and (ii) the number of calendar months since the last airframe 6 Year Check (or (if none) since new) as of the date of the Redelivery Technical Acceptance Certificate.

 

(ii)in respect of the Airframe 12 Year Check, the product of (1) Airframe 12 Year Reserve Amount multiplied by (2) the difference between (i) the number of calendar months since the last airframe 12 Year Check (or (if none) since new) as of the date of the Technical Acceptance Certificate and (ii) the number of calendar months since the last airframe 12 Year Check (or (if none) since new) as of the date of the Redelivery Technical Acceptance Certificate.

 

(iii)in respect of each Engine Performance Restoration shop visit, the product of (1) Engine Performance Restoration Reserve Amount multiplied by (2) the difference between (i) the number of engine Flight Hours since the last full performance restoration (or (if none) since new) as of the date of the Technical Acceptance Certificate and (ii) the number of engine Flight Hours since the last full performance restoration (or (if none) since new) as of the date of the Redelivery Technical Acceptance Certificate.

 

(iv)in respect of each Engine Life Limited Part, an amount equal to the product of

 

-83-

 

 

(1)the latest manufacturer’s catalogue price (at the end of the Term) for each such Engine Life Limited Part; divided by

 

(2)100% of the approved life limit (in cycles) of each such part; multiplied by

 

(3)the difference between:

 

(i)the number of cycles remaining on such Engine Life Limited Part as of the date of the Redelivery Technical Acceptance Certificate; and

 

(ii)the number of cycles remaining on such Engine Life Limited Part as of the date of the Delivery Technical Acceptance Certificate.

 

For avoidance of doubt, this shall be calculated as: [(1)/(2)]*(3).

 

(v)in respect of the Landing Gear, the product of (1) Landing Gear Reserve Amount multiplied by (2) the difference between (i) the number of calendar months since the last Landing Gear Overhaul (or (if none) since new) as of the date of the Technical Acceptance Certificate and (ii) the number of calendar months since the last Landing Gear Overhaul (or (if none) since new) as of the date of the Redelivery Technical Acceptance Certificate.

 

(vi)in respect of the APU, the product of (1) APU Reserve Amount multiplied by (2) the difference between (i) the number of APU hours since the last Basic Shop Visit of the APU (or (if none) since new) as of the date of the Technical Acceptance Certificate and (ii) the number of APU hours since the last Basic Shop Visit of the APU (or (if none) since new) as of the date of the Redelivery Technical Acceptance Certificate.

 

(d)Once the above calculation is complete if the sum of the above amounts is negative, then Lessee shall pay the positive Dollar equivalent of such sum to Lessor promptly, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after the last day of the Term. If the sum of the above amounts is positive, then Lessor shall pay the Dollar equivalent of such sum to Lessee promptly, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after the date of the Redelivery Technical Acceptance Certificate.
