|
3. | | AGREEMENT TO SELL AND PURCHASE |
|
3.1 | | Agreement |
|
| | Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement: |
| 3.1.1 | | the Seller of each Aircraft agrees to sell such Aircraft to the relevant
Purchaser of such Aircraft, and such Purchaser agrees to purchase such Aircraft from
such Seller in an “as is, where is” condition; |
|
| 3.1.2 | | the Seller of each Aircraft shall pass to the relevant Purchaser on the
applicable Delivery Date full legal and beneficial and good and marketable title to
such Aircraft with full title guarantee (except in relation to Aircraft No. 3, in

Title to each such Aircraft shall pass to the relevant Purchaser in accordance with

|
| 3.1.3 | | It is the intention of the Sellers and the Purchasers that

otherwise agreed by the parties to this Agreement, the relevant Seller shall not be
obliged to sell any Aircraft to the relevant Purchaser and the relevant Purchaser shall

maintained by the Air Authority. |
|

Aircraft No. 4 , such Aircraft suffers damage which does not constitute an Event of Loss but
for which |
- 2 -
| | the likely cost of repair would exceed
[*] or if before Delivery, Aircraft No.5
suffers damage which does not constitute an Event of Loss but for which the likely cost of

the relevant Seller whether the relevant Purchaser is prepared to proceed subject to
the damage being repaired to the relevant Purchaser’s satisfaction prior to the

satisfaction. However if (i) the repair is not so completed and the relevant Aircraft
is not delivered to the relevant Purchaser on or before the applicable Scheduled
Closing Date or any other date as agreed between the parties or (ii) the relevant

party in respect of such Aircraft save that the relevant Seller shall refund the relevant

Agreement, GECAS and the Sellers (in the case of a breach by the relevant Purchaser) or the

|
4.4 | | Transaction Fee Reimbursement |
| 4.4.1 | | If for any reason (other than as specified in Clause 4.4.2 below) the Delivery

of any such Aircraft as consideration for the loss of the Aircraft from the portfolio
to be acquired hereunder. |
|
| 4.4.2 | | GECAS will not have the obligation to make a Transaction Fee Reimbursement
pursuant to Clause 4.4.1 if the sale of Aircraft No. 5 to the Purchaser has not already
completed or if the failure of Delivery of an Aircraft by the Final Delivery Date is

relevant Purchaser to satisfy any of the Seller Conditions Precedent within the control |
| | |
* | | Confidential material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment. |

reasonable commercial efforts to agree to the Lease Novation in respect of such
Aircraft and to consummate the sale and lease novation of such Aircraft or (iv) an
Event of Default occurs under the relevant Lease and the relevant Lessor has
terminated the leasing of such Aircraft. Furthermore, if the parties agree to
substitute a comparable aircraft leased to a comparable lessee and subject to
comparable lease documents and pricing terms in replacement of any Aircraft which
fails to deliver to the Purchaser by the Final Delivery Date, then GECAS will not be
required to make any such Transaction Fee Reimbursement in relation to the Aircraft
so replaced. |

(including the failure by the relevant Purchaser to satisfy any of the Seller
Conditions Precedent within the control of such Purchaser)) on or before the Final
Delivery Date and accordingly, none of the Aircraft is sold by the relevant Sellers to
the relevant Purchasers, then in addition to refund of the relevant Deposit(s) plus
interest in accordance with the provisions of Clause 5.2.2, GECAS on behalf of the

by such Seller at the Delivery Date in respect of such Aircraft. |

which the relevant Seller or the relevant Purchaser may agree in writing to
bear. |

the Aircraft. If following such preliminary inspection of the Aircraft and/or the Aircraft
Documents the relevant Purchaser determines that any such relevant Aircraft and/or the
related Aircraft Documents are not in a satisfactory condition and such Purchaser does not

the relevant Seller in writing of such position within five (5) Business Days of such
preliminary inspection being completed, in which case, the relevant Seller shall refund the
relevant Deposit plus interest in accordance with the provisions of Clause 5.2.2 to the

relevant Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities to
the other party in relation to the relevant Aircraft following such return of Deposit and
payment of interest, other than as set out in Clause 12.8 |
