Lessor will lease the Aircraft to Lessee and Lessee will take the Aircraft on lease in accordance with this Agreement for the duration of the Term. PAGE 28

Such post-production modifications shall be made pursuant to a written agreement and by an entity that are reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. The cost of such post-production modifications for which Lessor shall be responsible shall be a fixed amount set forth in the written agreement which amount shall be subject to the Modification Limit. While such post-production modifications are being made, all of the terms of this Agreement, including Lessee's obligation to pay Rent, shall be and remain in full force and effect. Upon completion of such post-production modifications and submission of related invoices and other documentation reasonably requested by Lessor, Lessor shall either pay such invoices directly or, if already paid by Lessee, reimburse Lessee for the cost thereof, in either case up to the Modification Limit less the net costs of the modifications described in Part 3 of Schedule 1. 4.7 DEREGISTRATION Upon satisfaction of all the conditions precedent set forth in Clause 3.3, Lessor shall request the FAA to deregister the Aircraft. Lessee shall be responsible for the prompt payment of all Taxes, fees, costs and expenses, including Lessor's reasonable legal fees, relating to all actions taken in connection with the deregistration of the Aircraft with the FAA and with the registration of the Aircraft with the Directorate of Civil Aeronautics of Panama, and the recordation of this Agreement and of Lessor's title to the Aircraft with the Office of the Public Registry of Panama, up to a maximum amount of $50,000.

5. PAYMENTS 5.1 CASH DEPOSIT, DEPOSIT LETTER OF CREDIT AND SUPPLEMENTAL RENT LETTER OF CREDIT 5.1.1 Lessee shall deliver to Lessor the Cash Deposit. This Agreement shall be cross-collateralized with any Sister Lease, with respect to the Cash Deposit and with respect to any such collateral under any such Sister Lease. 5.1.2 Upon execution of this Agreement, Lessee shall provide Lessor with the Deposit Letter of Credit in the amount of the Deposit Letter of Credit Execution Amount, payable in favor of Lessor, issued or confirmed by a first class American or European bank reasonably acceptable to Lessor, and drawable in the USA. At any time after the Deregistration Date, at Lessee's option, the amount of the Deposit Letter of Credit may be increased by the amount of the Cash Deposit; the Cash Deposit shall be returned to Lessee promptly after any such increase in the amount of the Deposit Letter of Credit becomes effective. The Deposit Letter of Credit shall be further increased on or prior to the Delivery Date by an amount equal to the Deposit Letter of Credit Delivery Amount. The Deposit Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable, and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor. 5.1.3 Lessor may upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing apply all or any portion of the Cash Deposit and/or draw down the Deposit Letter of Credit in accordance with its terms in whole or in part at any time or times until the later of 10 Business Days after Redelivery and until all of Lessee's obligations under this Agreement have been fulfilled to satisfy any liabilities of Lessee to Lessor under this Agreement and under any Sister Lease. 5.1.4 Prior to delivery of the Aircraft hereunder, Lessee shall provide Lessor with the Supplemental Rent Letter of Credit in the initial amount specified in the definition of Supplemental Rent Letter of Credit Amount, payable in favor of Lessor, issued or confirmed by a first class American or European bank reasonably acceptable to Lessor, and drawable in the USA. The Supplemental Rent Letter of Credit shall be increased on the dates and in the amounts specified in the definition of Supplemental Rent Letter of Credit Amount. The Supplemental Rent Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable, and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor. 5.1.5 If Lessee shall fail to pay Supplemental Rent due and owing hereunder on the Expiry Date, or if Lessee shall fail to comply with the requirements of Clause 12 and Schedule 4 upon the expiration or the earlier termination of the Term as provided hereunder, Lessee may draw down the Supplemental Rent Letter of Credit in whole or in part to satisfy such obligations of PAGE 31
Lessee hereunder. The Supplemental Rent Letter of Credit may be drawn solely for the purposes set forth in this Clause 5.1.5. 5.1.6 In the event that any amount of the Cash Deposit is applied or the Deposit Letter of Credit is drawn down by Lessor, Lessee shall within 10 Business Days of receipt of notice of any such application of the Cash Deposit or draw down provide for the delivery of additional amounts of Cash Deposit and/or an additional letter of credit or an amendment to the Deposit Letter of Credit complying with the above requirements so as to restore the amounts of the Cash Deposit and/or the amount undrawn under the Deposit Letter of Credit to the original amount. 5.1.7 Clauses 4.3(4)(b), 5.1.2, 7.3 and 11.1 set forth the separate obligations of Lessor to return to Lessee the Letters of Credit and to refund to Lessee amounts in respect of the Cash Deposit in certain circumstances. 5.1.8 Lessee agrees that subject to Clauses 4.3(4)(b), 5.1.2, 7.2 and 11.1 and to Lessee's rights at law and in equity, all right, title and interest in any Cash Deposit paid by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to this Clause 5 shall vest in the recipient absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally free and clear of any liens, claims, charges or encumbrances or any other interest of Lessee or of any third person. 5.1.9 Any interest earned with respect to the Cash Deposit or any draw down of a Letter of Credit shall be for Lessor's account, free and clear of any claims, charges or any interest of Lessee. 5.1.10 Lessee shall cause the Letters of Credit, in the respective amounts then required to be maintained by the terms of this Agreement, to be replaced or renewed from time to time in order that they remain in full force and effect through the date fifteen (15) days after the Expiry Date as required hereunder, and shall deliver to Lessor a replacement or renewal letter of credit at least 10 days prior to the date on which a Letter of Credit is to expire. If Lessee shall fail to deliver to Lessor a replacement or renewal letter of credit at least 10 days prior to the date on which the applicable Letter of Credit is to expire, Lessor may drawdown the full amount of such Letter of Credit and hold it for application in the same manner as in the case of the Cash Deposit. In any such case, if Lessee delivers a replacement letter of credit satisfying the requirements of this Agreement, Lessor shall return to Lessee the principal amount of such drawdown, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 5.2 RENT 5.2.1 TIME OF PAYMENT: Lessee will pay to Lessor or its order Rent on the first Rent Date and in advance on each subsequent Rent Date. Payment must be initiated adequately in advance of each Rent Date to ensure that Lessor PAGE 32
receives credit for the payment of Rent payable on such Rent Date, or on the immediately preceding Business Day if such Rent Date is not a Business Day. 5.2.2 RENTAL PERIODS: The first Rental Period will commence on the Delivery Date and end on the fourteenth (14th) day of the second month following the Delivery Date. The second Rental Period will commence on the fifteenth (15th) day of the second month following the Delivery Date, with each subsequent Rental Period commencing on the fifteenth (15th) day of each subsequent month for the duration of the Term. The last Rental Period shall end on the Expiry Date. 5.3 SUPPLEMENTAL RENT 5.3.1 PAYMENT: Upon Redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor at the time and in the manner provided hereunder, Lessee shall make a single payment to Lessor of Supplemental Rent in respect of Aircraft usage during the Term. 5.3.2 CALCULATION: (1) Not less than six (6) months prior to the scheduled Expiry Date, Lessee shall provide to Lessor sufficient industry estimates, reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, to enable Lessor and Lessee to calculate the estimated amount of Supplemental Rent payable by Lessee on Redelivery, such estimates to be based on Lessee's actual utilization of the Aircraft during the first 54 months of the Term. Such data shall include bona fide, arm's length market estimates from not fewer than three (3) mutually acceptable, internationally recognized aircraft maintenance providers of the cost of providing to Lessor or to another third party, other than Lessee or Continental Airlines, Inc., (i) a block D-Check, including a lower level check on the Airframe, (ii) a full restoration shop visit of each Engine, and (iii) a complete overhaul of the APU and the Landing Gear, including in each case all routine and non-routine work, material, labor and reasonable handling charges prevailing at the time, but excluding the cost of any replacement of Life Limited Parts (each of the Airframe, each Engine, the APU and the Landing Gear referred to as a "Component," and each of the respective costs described in subclauses (i) through (iii) referred to as a "Check/Overhaul Cost," for purposes of this Clause 5.3.2). Prior to the Expiry Date, Lessor and Lessee shall discuss in good faith, and agree on, the applicable Check/Overhaul Cost for each Component. (2) On the Expiry Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor Supplemental Rent in respect of each Component in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Check/Overhaul Cost, times (ii) the result of (A) the time since such Component was new or since such Component had a full PAGE 33
restoration shop visit or complete overhaul, divided by (B) the mean time between overhaul ("Interval") for such Component as defined or estimated by the manufacturer of such Component, adjusted for the actual utilization of such Component by Lessee during the last six (6) months of the Term and as provided in clause (3) below. (3) The amount of Supplemental Rent calculated in accordance with clause (2) above shall be adjusted by deducting from the aggregate amount so calculated an amount equal to the sum of the Check/Overhaul Cost allocable to the first 20% of the Interval for each Component, provided that any such aggregate adjustment shall not result in a negative number and in no event shall Lessor be obligated to make any payment to Lessee under this Clause 5.3.2. (4) On the Expiry Date, if the time remaining on the life of any Life Limited Part is less than 80%, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to the product of (i) the actual cost to replace such Life Limited Part, times (ii) the difference, expressed as a percentage of the life of such Life Limited Part, between (A) 80% and (B) the time remaining on the life of such Life Limited Part expressed as a percentage. If the time remaining on the life of any Life Limited Part is more than 80%, Lessee shall receive a credit against any amounts then owing by it under clauses (2) and (3) above in an amount equal to the product of (i) the cost to replace such life Limited Part as determined above, times (ii) the difference, expressed as a percentage of the life of such Life Limited Part, between (A) 20% and (B) the time used on such Life Limited Part since new, expressed as a percentage. 5.4 PAYMENTS 5.4.1 All payments by Lessee to Lessor under this Agreement will be made for value on the due date in Dollars, and if in relation to amounts incurred by Lessor other than in Dollars, in the Dollar equivalent advised by Lessor's bankers, and in same day funds settled through the New York Clearing House System or such other funds as may for the time being be customary for the settlement in New York City of international payments in Dollars by telegraphic transfer to the Payment Account. Lessee shall make all arrangements in advance to ensure that payment is received as above by Lessor on the due date. 5.4.2 All payments by Lessor to Lessee under this Agreement will be made by telegraphic transfer to the Payment Account in Dollars, and if in relation to amounts incurred by Lessee other than in Dollars, in the Dollar equivalent advised by Lessor's bankers. PAGE 34
5.5 GROSS-UP 5.5.1 All payments by Lessee under or in connection with this Agreement will be made without set-off or counterclaim, free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any or all Taxes. 5.5.2 All Taxes in respect of payments under this Agreement shall be for the account of and will be paid by Lessee prior to the date on which penalties apply, except to the extent that such payment is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, in respect of which adequate reserves have been provided by Lessee and non-payment of which does not give rise to any material likelihood of the Aircraft or any interest therein being sold, forfeited or otherwise lost or of criminal liability on the part of Lessor. 5.5.3 If Lessee is compelled by law to make payment subject to any Tax and Lessor or Beneficiary does not actually receive for its own benefit on the due date a net amount equal to the full amount provided for under this Agreement, Lessee will pay all necessary additional amounts to ensure receipt by Lessor of the full amount so provided for. 5.6 TAXES AND OTHER PAYMENTS Except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein, Lessee will promptly pay, or promptly after demand indemnify Lessor and Beneficiary against: (1) all Taxes and other fees or charges of any nature imposed by any Government Entity or other person including any airport or provider of service with respect to this Agreement, including without limitation the delivery, leasing, possession, use, operation, maintenance, storage, return or replacement of any Engine or Part or any other disposition or dealing by Lessee with or relating to the Aircraft during the Term; and (2) all rent, fees, charges, Taxes and other amounts in respect of any premises where the Aircraft or any Part thereof is located from time to time; except to the extent that such payment is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, in respect of which adequate reserves have been provided by Lessee and non-payment of which does not give rise to any material likelihood of the Aircraft or any interest therein being sold, forfeited or otherwise lost or of criminal liability on the part of Lessor. 5.7 VALUE ADDED TAX 5.7.1 For the purposes of this sub-clause: (1) "VAT" means value added tax and any sales or turnover tax, imposition or levy of a like nature (other than Lessor Taxes); and PAGE 35
(2) "supply" includes anything on which VAT is chargeable. 5.7.2 Lessee will pay to Lessor or the relevant taxing authority, as the case may be, the amount of any VAT chargeable in respect of any supply for VAT purposes under this Agreement. 5.7.3 Each amount stated as payable by Lessee under this Agreement is exclusive of VAT (if any) and is accordingly to be construed as a reference to that amount plus any VAT in respect of it. 5.8 INFORMATION If Lessee is required by any applicable law, or by any third party, to deliver any report or return in connection with any Taxes, Lessee will, to the extent the same shall be pertinent, state therein that Lessee is exclusively responsible for the use and operation of the Aircraft and for any Taxes arising therefrom and Lessee will on request supply a copy of the report or return to Lessor. Lessor shall provide Lessee with such information in the possession of Lessor or otherwise reasonably available to it as Lessee may reasonably request to fulfill its tax filing requirements under this Clause 5.8 and any audit information request arising in connection with the Taxes subject to this Clause 5. If any report or return is required to be made with respect to any obligations of Lessee under this Clause 5, Lessee will make such report or return, provided that Lessee shall have no obligation to file any such return or report if (A) Lessor, after Lessee's written request therefor, shall have failed to furnish Lessee with such information as is peculiarly within the control of, or reasonably available to Lessor and is necessary for the filing of such report or return, or (B) such return or report would or should have been filed by Lessor even if it had not entered into this Agreement. 5.9 TAXATION OF INDEMNITY PAYMENTS 5.9.1 If and to the extent that any sums payable to an Indemnitee by Lessee under this Agreement by way of indemnity are insufficient, by reason of any Taxes payable in respect of those sums, for such Indemnitee to discharge the corresponding liability to the relevant third party (including any taxation authority), or to reimburse such Indemnitee for the cost incurred by it to a third party (including any taxation authority), Lessee will pay to such Indemnitee such sum as will after the Tax liability has been fully satisfied leave such Indemnitee with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of that liability, together with interest on the amount of the deficit at the rate of interest stated in Clause 5.10 (both before and after judgment) in respect of the period commencing on the date on which the payment of the Tax is finally due until payment by Lessee. 5.9.2 If and to the extent that any sums constituting (directly or indirectly) an indemnity to an Indemnitee but paid by Lessee to any person other than PAGE 36
such Indemnitee are treated as taxable in the hands of such Indemnitee, Lessee will pay to such Indemnitee, within 5 Business Days of a written demand accompanied by reasonable evidence of liability, such sum as will after the tax liability has been fully satisfied indemnify such Indemnitee to the same extent as it would have been indemnified in the absence of such liability. 5.10 DEFAULT INTEREST If Lessee fails to pay any amount payable under this Agreement or another Lessee Document on the due date, Lessee will pay on demand from time to time to Lessor or such other party as shall have a right thereto interest (both before and after judgment) on that amount, from the due date to the date of payment in full by Lessee to Lessor or such other party, at the rate calculated by Lessor to be 3% per cent per annum plus LIBOR at the rate quoted for the period closest to the length of time from such due date to such payment date. All such interest will be compounded monthly and calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year. 5.11 CONTEST If a claim is made in writing against any Lessor (whether on audit or otherwise) or if Lessee disputes the amount of any Tax payable by Lessor for which Lessee is required to reimburse or indemnify hereunder for any Taxes that Lessee is required to pay or indemnify against pursuant to Clause 5.6, Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within 10 Business Days of the receipt of such claim, provided that a failure to so notify will not diminish or relieve Lessee of any obligations under Clause 5.6, except to the extent Lessee is entitled to contest or to cause Lessor to contest such Taxes and Lessee's or Lessor's successful defense of such claim is materially prejudiced or precluded thereby. If the amount of the claim exceeds $25,000 and if requested by Lessee in accordance with this Clause 5.11 and in writing within 30 Business Days after receipt by Lessee of the notice described in the preceding sentence, Lessor shall in good faith and with due diligence contest (including pursuing administrative and judicial appeals) in the name of Lessor or, if permitted by law and requested by Lessee in the name of Lessee, the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes in appropriate administrative or judicial proceedings to be determined by Lessor, provided that (1) prior to taking such action, Lessee shall have agreed to pay Lessor all out-of-pocket costs and expenses that Lessor may incur in connection with contesting such claim, including, without limitation, all reasonable legal and accountant's fees and disbursements and costs of administrative and judicial proceedings, and the amount of any interest or penalties that may be attributable to and payable as a result of contesting such claim (or, at Lessor's request, Lessee shall advance to Lessor funds with which to pay the foregoing amounts, and Lessor's obligation to contest any Tax shall be suspended during any period Lessee does not advance sufficient funds to pay such amounts as they accrue or become payable), (2) if such contest is to be initiated by the payment of, and the claiming of a refund for such Taxes (and any interest and penalties that also must be paid), Lessee shall have advanced Lessor sufficient funds (on an interest-free basis) PAGE 37
to make such payment, (3) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (4) the action to be taken will not result in a material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of Lessor's title to the Aircraft (unless Lessee provides a bond or other security satisfactory to Lessor), (5) at Lessor's request, Lessee shall provide to Lessor a written opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor of independent legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that there is a reasonable basis for such contest and (6) Lessee acknowledges and agrees, in writing, that in the event such contest is unsuccessful Lessee shall fully indemnify Lessor against such Taxes (and any related interest and penalties). Notwithstanding that the conditions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) above may have been satisfied, Lessor, after consulting in good faith with Lessee, may elect not to pursue any contest or proceeding pursuant to the preceding sentence or elect to discontinue (by settlement or otherwise) any such contest or proceeding commenced pursuant to the preceding sentence, but such election shall constitute a waiver by Lessor of any right to payment or indemnification pursuant to Clause 5.6 with respect to the adjustment that was the subject of such proposed contest or proceeding (and any other adjustment the contest of which is precluded by such failure to contest) and, if Lessee has theretofore paid or provided Lessor with funds to pay any amount with respect to such adjustment, Lessor shall promptly repay such amount to Lessee. If Lessor shall obtain a refund in whatever form of all or any part of any Taxes that Lessee shall have paid or reimbursed to Lessor hereunder, Lessor shall, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, pay to Lessee an amount that is equal to the sum of the amount of such refund or credit, plus any interest received on such refund fairly attributable to any Taxes paid by or with funds provided by Lessee prior to receipt of such refund, reduced by any Taxes incurred by Lessor by reason of the receipt or accrual of such refund and interest and net of any expenses described above that have not been previously reimbursed, and increased by any Tax benefit realized by Lessor as a result of any payment by Lessor made pursuant to this sentence, provided further that, if, at the time of such payment an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor shall hold the amount of such payment as security for the obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the Lease, and at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default, shall pay such amount to the Lessee. Lessor hereby agrees that it will inform Lessee of the time and place of, and Lessor will not object to Lessee's presence at, any proceeding conducted pursuant to this clause 5.11, provided that Lessor shall be entitled to conduct any proceedings in respect of taxes for which Lessee is not obligated to indemnify Lessor outside the presence of Lessee and Lessee's presence also must be allowed by applicable law and provided further that the conditions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) above shall have been, and shall continue to be, satisfied. 5.12 COMPUTATIONS At Lessee's request, the computation by Lessor of any amount payable by Lessee pursuant to this Clause 5 shall be verified by an independent accounting firm of national reputation selected by Lessor. The fees of such accountants shall be paid by Lessee unless such accountants determine that the amount payable to Lessee is at PAGE 38
least 25% more, or the amount payable by Lessee is at least 25% less, than the amount computed by Lessor, in which case such fees shall be payable by Lessor. 5.13 PAYMENTS ABSOLUTE Lessee's obligations under this Agreement as to payment are absolute and unconditional irrespective of any contingency whatsoever including (but not limited to): (1) any right of set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which either party to this Agreement may have against the other; (2) any unavailability of the Aircraft for any reason, including, but not limited to, a requisition of the Aircraft or any prohibition or interruption of or interference with or other restriction against Lessee's use, operation or possession of the Aircraft; (3) any defect in airworthiness, merchantability, fitness for any purpose, condition, design, or operation of any kind or nature of the Aircraft for any particular use or trade, or for registration or documentation under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, or any Event of Loss in respect of, or any damage to, the Aircraft; (4) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation, examination or similar proceedings by or against Lessee; (5) any invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization of, or other defect in, this Agreement; and (6) any other cause which but for this provision would or might otherwise have the effect of terminating or in any way affecting any obligation of Lessee under this Agreement. Nothing in this Clause 5.13 shall be construed to prohibit Lessee from separately pursuing any claim that it may have from time to time against Lessor or any other Person with respect to any matter, provided that any such claim shall not contest the applicability or enforceability of the foregoing provisions of this Clause 5.13. 6. MANUFACTURERS' WARRANTIES 6.1 BENEFIT OF WARRANTIES Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor agrees to make available to Lessee such rights as Lessor may have under any warranty with respect to the Aircraft of any Engine made by the Manufacturer or the Engine Manufacturer, respectively, pursuant to their respective standard assignment forms. To the extent that any warranties and/or rights (if any), express or implied, with PAGE 39
respect to or otherwise related to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part from the Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer or any other manufacturer, vendor, subcontractor or supplier to Lessor, are not directly assignable by Lessor to Lessee, Lessor agrees to extend to Lessee, at Lessee's cost, the benefit of each such warranty and right to the extent possible. 6.2 PARTS Except to the extent Lessor otherwise agrees in a particular case, Lessee will procure that all engines, components, furnishings or equipment provided by the manufacturer, vendor, subcontractor or supplier in replacement of a defective Engine or Part pursuant to the terms of any warranty will be installed promptly by Lessee and that title thereto vests in Lessor free of Liens. On installation those items will be deemed to be an Engine or Part, as applicable. 6.3 REASSIGNMENT At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term as provided herein, Lessee shall reassign to Lessor, or its designee, without recourse or warranty, the benefit of any subsisting warranty and right assigned by Lessor to Lessee pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Lessee at its own cost and expense will do all such things and execute such documents as may reasonably be required for this purpose. 7. LESSOR'S COVENANTS 7.1 QUIET ENJOYMENT Lessor covenants that so long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, (i) Lessee shall quietly enjoy, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Aircraft and all rents, revenues, profits and income thereof, without interference from Lessor, or from any Person lawfully claiming by or through Lessor (including, without limitation, any Person providing financing or refinancing for the Aircraft), and (ii) neither Lessor nor any Person lawfully claiming by or through Lessor shall take or cause to be taken any action contrary to such right of quiet enjoyment. Lessor shall cause any Person providing financing or refinancing for the Aircraft to provide to Lessee a comparable covenant of quiet enjoyment. 7.2 END PAYMENT 7.2.1 Promptly following: (1) Redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor in accordance with and in the condition required by this Agreement; or (2) payment to Lessor of the Agreed Value following an Event of Loss after the delivery Date; PAGE 40
or, in each case, such later time as Lessor is satisfied Lessee has paid to Lessor all amounts which may then be due and payable under this Agreement, Lessor will: (a) pay to Lessee the amount of any Rent received in respect of any period falling after the Redelivery Date or payment of the Agreed Value, as the case may be; (b) return to Lessee any remaining Cash Deposit, subject to any application and reduction by Lessor pursuant to Clause 5.1; and (c) return the Letters of Credit to Lessee, subject to any drawings pursuant to Clause 5.1. 7.2.2 If, at the end of the Term, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the rebate and payments and return of the Letters of Credit, contemplated above will only be made following (1) any cure by Lessee to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction of such Event of Default, and (2) any set-off by Lessor hereunder, but any such rebate and return of the Letters of Credit or payment shall only be to the extent of the applicable balance remaining following such set-off. 7.3 MANUFACTURER CREDIT AND PRODUCT SUPPORT 7.3.1 Lessor shall, on or prior to delivery of the Aircraft hereunder, assign or shall cause to be assigned or otherwise provided to Lessee a new operator credit memorandum in the amount of the New Operator Credit to be issued by Manufacturer under the Purchase Agreement at the time of delivery of the Aircraft under the Purchase Agreement, such credit memorandum to be used in accordance with the terms thereof for the purchase of spare parts or training from Manufacturer or for the cost of certification to comply with applicable requirements of the Panamanian aviation authorities. 7.3.2 Lessor shall, on or prior to delivery of the Aircraft hereunder, assign or cause to be assigned to Lessee training, product support and onsite technical assistance applicable to the Aircraft and to the Engines to be furnished by Manufacturer pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and by the Engine manufacturer pursuant to its agreements with Lessor or Beneficiary, as the case may be, respectively. 7.3.3 Lessee shall provide directly to Manufacturer or to Lessor, as the case may be, all indemnities and insurance coverage, and perform all related obligations, required by Manufacturer or the Engine manufacturer in connection with such training, product support and onsite technical assistance, and shall otherwise indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against all claims and liabilities of any kind related thereto. PAGE 41
7.4 AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE COST SHARING Where the cost of any single non-repetitive airworthiness directive to be accomplished pursuant to Clause 14.8 of Schedule 3 or which Lessee is otherwise required by the terms of this Agreement to accomplish exceeds US**Material Redacted**, Lessor shall pay to Lessee, as long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, an amount calculated in accordance with the following formula: C x (N - R) / N Where N = **Material Redacted** R = the number of complete months remaining in the Term after completion of the modification C = the cost of the modification in excess of US**Material Redacted**. 8. LESSEE'S COVENANTS 8.1 DURATION Subject to Clause 10.2, the undertakings of Lessee under this Agreement will: (1) except as otherwise stated, be performed at the expense of Lessee; and (2) remain in force until the earlier to occur of (a) Redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor in accordance with this Agreement either at the end of the Term, or earlier as provided herein, and payment of all obligations of Lessee hereunder or (b) receipt by Lessor of the Agreed Value pursuant to an Event of Loss. 8.2 FURTHER COVENANTS Lessee also covenants to Lessor to perform the covenants set out in Schedule 3. 9. INSURANCE 9.1 INSURANCES Lessee will maintain in full force during the Term insurances in respect of the Aircraft in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and in conformity with and covering such risks as are set forth in Schedule 5 hereof (the "Insurances," which expression includes, where the context so admits, any relevant re-insurance(s)) through such brokers, with such lead underwriters being subject to such exclusions as may be approved by Lessor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and in such amounts and having such deductibles as are set forth in Schedule 5 hereof. The Insurances will be effected either: PAGE 42
(1) on a direct basis with insurers of recognized standing who normally participate in aviation insurances in the leading international insurance markets and led by reputable underwriter(s) approved by Lessor (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); or (2) with a single insurer or group of insurers approved by Lessor who does not retain the risk but effects substantial reinsurance with reinsurers in the leading international insurance markets and through brokers each of recognized standing and acceptable to Lessor for a percentage acceptable to Lessor of all risks insured (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 9.2 REQUIREMENTS Lessor's current requirements as to required Insurances are as specified in this Clause 9 and in Schedule 5. Also, Lessor may request the addition of additional insureds, as appropriate. 9.3 CHANGE Lessor shall be entitled to revoke its approval of Lessee's broker or lead underwriter(s) provided that: (i) there shall have occurred after the date hereof, any event or series of events which in Lessor's reasonable opinion, after consultation with Lessee and such broker or underwriter(s), has adversely affected such broker's or underwriter's ability to perform its obligations with respect to the Insurances required to be maintained hereunder; (ii) a majority of Lessee's other lessors of aircraft consent to the resulting change in broker or lead underwriter(s); and (iii) similar insurance is then generally available through other brokers and underwriters in the major international insurance markets upon terms substantially similar to the then current policy or policies. 9.4 INSURANCE COVENANTS Lessee will: (1) ensure that all legal requirements as to insurance of the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part which may from time to time be imposed by the laws of the Jurisdiction of Registration, the Jurisdiction of Incorporation, or any state to, from, or over which the Aircraft may be flown, insofar as they affect or concern the operation of the Aircraft, are complied with and in particular those requirements, compliance with which is necessary to ensure that: (a) the Aircraft is not in material risk of detention or forfeiture; (b) the Insurances remain valid and in full force and effect; and (c) the interests of the Indemnitees in the Insurances and the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part are not thereby prejudiced; PAGE 43
(2) not use, cause or permit the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part to be used for any purpose or in any manner not covered by the Insurances or outside any geographical limit imposed by the Insurances; (3) comply with the terms and conditions of each policy of the Insurances and not do, consent or agree to any act or omission which: (a) invalidates or may reasonably be expected to invalidate the Insurances; or (b) renders, or may reasonably be expected to render, void or voidable the whole or any part of any of the Insurances; or (c) brings any particular liability within the scope of an exclusion or exception to the Insurances; (4) [Intentionally omitted.] (5) commence renewal procedures in due time prior to expiry of any of the Insurances and provide to Lessor: (a) if requested by Lessor, a written status report of renewal negotiations 10 days prior to each expiry date; (b) facsimile or telexed confirmation of completion of renewal together with summary of conditions prior to each expiry date; and (c) certificates of insurance (and where appropriate certificates of reinsurance) and broker's (and any reinsurance brokers') letter of undertaking in a form reasonably acceptable to Lessor in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 9, in English, detailing the coverage and confirming the insurers' (and any reinsurers') agreement to the specified insurance requirements of this Agreement within 7 days of renewal; (6) [Intentionally omitted.] (7) [Intentionally omitted.] (8) not make any modification or alteration to the Insurances material and adverse to the interests of any of the Indemnitees; (9) be responsible for any deductible under the Insurances; and (10) provide any other insurance and reinsurance related information in respect of the Insurances as Lessor may reasonably require. PAGE 44
9.5 FAILURE TO INSURE If Lessee fails to maintain the Insurances in compliance with this Agreement, each of the Indemnitees will be entitled but not bound (without prejudice to any other rights of Lessor under this Agreement): (1) to pay the premiums due or to effect and maintain insurances satisfactory to it or otherwise remedy Lessee's failure in such manner (including, without limitation to effect and maintain an "owner's interest" policy) as it considers appropriate. Any sums so expended by it will become immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor (or an Indemnitee) together with interest thereon at the rate specified in Clause 5.10, from the date of expenditure by it up to the date of reimbursement by Lessee; or (2) at any time while such failure is continuing, to require the Aircraft to remain at any airport or to proceed to and remain at any airport designated by it until the failure is remedied to its satisfaction. 9.6 CONTINUING INDEMNITY Lessor may require Lessee to effect and to maintain insurance after the Expiry Date with respect to its liability under the indemnities in Clause 10 for such period as Lessor may reasonably require (but in no event for a period longer than the earlier to occur of two years following the Expiry Date or the next D-check, or equivalent) and which provides for each Indemnitee to be named as additional insured. Lessee's obligation in this clause shall not be affected by Lessee's ceasing to be Lessee of the Aircraft and/or any of the Indemnitees ceasing to have any interest in respect of the Aircraft. 9.7 APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS As between Lessor and Lessee: (1) all insurance proceeds, other than proceeds of insurance described in Clause 9.8, received as the result of an Event of Loss occurring during the Term will be paid to Lessor; (2) all insurance proceeds of any property, damage or loss to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part occurring during the Term not constituting an Event of Loss and in excess of the Damage Notification Threshold shall be paid to Lessor and applied in payment (or to reimburse Lessee) for repairs or replacement property upon Lessor's being satisfied that the repairs or replacement have been effected in accordance with this Agreement. Insurance proceeds in amounts below the Damage Notification Threshold may be paid by the insurer directly to Lessee or repairers in respect of repairs or replacements only; PAGE 45
(3) all insurance proceeds in respect of third party liability will be paid by the insurers to the relevant third party in satisfaction of the relevant liability or to Lessor or Lessee in reimbursement of any payment so made by them with the agreement of the insurers; and (4) notwithstanding Clauses 9.7(1), (2) or (3), if at the time of the payment of any such insurance proceeds a Default has occurred and is continuing, all such proceeds will be paid to or retained by Lessor as security for the performance of Lessee's obligations hereunder and may be applied toward payment of any amounts which may then be payable by Lessee under this Agreement or any Sister Lease in such order as Lessor reasonably sees fit. The amount so retained or the balance thereof after application of any portion thereof as provided in this Clause 9.7(4) shall be paid to Lessee at such time as such Default shall have ceased to exist. 9.8 INSURANCE FOR LESSEE'S OWN ACCOUNTS Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent Lessee, at its sole expense, from carrying insurance covering the Aircraft, the Airframe, the Engines or any engine or engines from time to time installed on the Airframe or any Part in addition to the Insurances required under this Clause 9, or in amounts greater than those required under this Clause 9 (any such insurance "Additional Insurance"), provided that such Additional Insurance does not adversely affect the rights of Lessor, Beneficiary or any other Additional Insured to make any claim or obtain recovery or coverage in full under any of the Insurances required to be maintained pursuant to this Clause 9. The proceeds of any such Additional Insurance shall be paid directly to and shall be deemed the sole property of Lessee. 10. INDEMNITY 10.1 GENERAL Except as set forth in Clause 10.3, Lessee agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against any and all claims, proceedings, losses, liabilities, suits, judgment, costs (including attorneys' fees and related costs), expenses, penalties or fines (each a "Claim") (where any such Claim relates to an occurrence suffered, incurred, or arising out of an event the happening of which was during the Term or prior to redelivery of the Aircraft, but not before the Term) regardless of when the Claim is made whether or not it arises out of or is attributable to any act or omission, negligent or otherwise, of any Indemnitee: (1) which may at any time be suffered or incurred directly or indirectly as a result of or connected with the possession, delivery, performance, management, registration, control, maintenance, condition, service, repair, overhaul, leasing, use, operation or return of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part (either in the air or on the ground) whether or not the Claim may be PAGE 46
attributable to any defect in the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or to its design, testing or use or otherwise; (2) which arises otherwise from or in connection with the leasing of the Aircraft to Lessee under this Agreement and any act or omission of Lessee; (3) which arises out of any act or omission which invalidates or which renders voidable any of the Insurances; or (4) which, except as to the Manufacturer, may at any time be suffered or incurred as a consequence of any design, production, article or material in the Aircraft, any Engine or any part or its operation or use constituting an infringement of patent, copyright, trademark, design or other proprietary right or a breach of any obligation of confidentiality owed to any person; but excluding any Claim to the extent that the Claim is covered pursuant to another indemnity provision of this Agreement or to the extent it arises solely as a result of Lessor Taxes or a Lessor Lien. 10.2 DURATION The indemnities contained in this Agreement will continue in full force after the Expiry Date. 10.3 EXCEPTIONS Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lessee shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee in respect of any Claim arising from or otherwise attributable to: (1) acts or events which occur prior to execution of this Agreement or after Redelivery of the Aircraft to the Lessor in the manner and in the condition required hereunder, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to release Lessee from any of its obligations hereunder that provide for performance after termination of the Term; (2) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; (3) Lessor Taxes; (4) Lessor Liens; (5) ordinary and usual operating or overhead expenses of such Indemnitee other than arising in connection with a Default or an Event of Default hereunder; (6) the financing of the Aircraft or any voluntary or involuntary assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (collectively a "Transfer") of all or any interest of such Indemnitee in or to the Aircraft, any Engine or Part or PAGE 47
this Lease by any Person other than the Lessee unless such Transfer arises in connection with the exercise by Lessor of any available remedies during the existence of an Event of Default); and (7) as to the Manufacturer, any breach by Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer of any of their respective warranties as set forth in the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or instrument between Manufacturer, Engine Manufacturer or any vendor, supplier or subcontractor of Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer, or as a consequence of any design or production defect. Lessee shall be subrogated to the rights and remedies which any Indemnitee may have against the Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer or any supplier, vendor, subcontractor or other manufacturer of any Part or any other Person claiming against such Indemnitee, provided Lessee shall have satisfied its indemnification obligations hereunder. If any Indemnitee obtains a recovery of all or any portion of any indemnity amount which Lessee has paid in full to such Indemnitee, provided that at such time as no Default has occurred and is then continuing, such Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee the net amount recovered by such Indemnitee within ten Business Days after receipt thereof. 11. EVENTS OF LOSS 11.1 PRE-DELIVERY If an Event of Loss occurs prior to delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee, this Agreement will immediately terminate and except as expressly stated in this Agreement neither party will have any further obligation or liability under this Agreement other than pursuant to Clause 17.9, except that Lessor will return to Lessee the Cash Deposit and the Deposit Letter of Credit. 11.2 POST-DELIVERY If an Event of Loss occurs in respect of the Aircraft after delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee, Lessee will pay the Agreed Value to Lessor on or prior to the earlier of (1) 90 days after the Event of Loss and (2) the date of receipt of insurance proceeds in respect of that Event of Loss. Subject to the rights of any insurers and reinsurers or other third party, upon irrevocable payment in full to Lessor of that amount and all other amounts which may then be payable to Lessor under this Agreement, Lessor will without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens) and without further act, be deemed to have transferred to Lessee all of Lessor's rights to any Engines and Parts not installed when the Event of Loss occurred, all on an as-is, where-is basis, and will at Lessee's reasonable expense (including Taxes, if any), execute and deliver such bills of sale and other documents and instruments as Lessee may reasonably request to evidence (on the public record or otherwise) the transfer and the vesting of PAGE 48
Lessor's rights in such Engines and Parts in Lessee, free and clear of all of Lessor Liens. 11.3 ENGINES If an Event of Loss occurs with respect to any Engine not then installed on the Aircraft, or upon any Event of Loss with respect to an Engine installed on the Aircraft not involving an Event of Loss of the Aircraft occurring after delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee, Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice thereof and Lessee shall replace such Engine as soon as reasonably possible by duly conveying to Lessor title to another engine owned or to be acquired by Lessee, which engine shall be free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, and shall be of the same make or model or an improved or advanced version, in such operating condition and of such value and utility as the Engine which sustained the Event of Loss was (or would have been if it had been maintained in accordance with the terms hereof). Such replacement engine shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein. Lessee agrees to take such action as Lessor may reasonably request in order that any such replacement Engine shall be duly and properly titled in Lessor and leased hereunder to the same extent as the Engine replaced thereby. Lessee's obligation to pay the Rent hereunder shall continue in full force and effect, but Lessee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Lessor the amount of insurance or condemnation proceeds, if any, received by Lessor with respect to such replaced Engine, subject to insurers' rights. 11.4 REQUISITION During any requisition for use or hire of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part which does not constitute or has not matured into an Event of Loss and provided always that it does not arise out of any act or omission of Lessor, Beneficiary or any Person claiming by or through Lessor or Beneficiary: (1) the Rent and other charges payable under this Agreement will not be suspended or abated either in whole or in part, and Lessee will not be released from any of its other obligations under the Agreement (other than operational obligations with which Lessee is unable to comply solely by virtue of the requisition); and (2) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee will be entitled to any hire paid by the requisitioning authority in respect of the Term, but if a Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor will be entitled to such hire to be held as security for Lessee's obligations hereunder and paid over to Lessee at such time as such Default shall not be continuing, if not applied in full or partial satisfaction of such obligations. Lessee will, as soon as practicable after the end of any such requisition, cause the Aircraft to be put into the condition required by this Agreement. Lessor will be entitled to all compensation payable by the requisitioning authority in respect of any change in the structure, state or condition of the Aircraft arising during the period of requisition, and Lessor will apply such compensation in PAGE 49
reimbursing Lessee for the cost of complying with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of any such change, but so that, if any Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor may apply the compensation or hire in or towards settlement of any amounts owing by Lessee under this Agreement. 12. REDELIVERY OF AIRCRAFT 12.1 NOTIFICATION Lessee will notify and provide Lessor with a schedule for the Redelivery of the Aircraft not later than 30 days prior to the commencement of the Redelivery Check, and Schedule 4 shall apply in relation to the Redelivery Check. 12.2 REDELIVERY On the Expiry Date or termination of the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement, unless an Event of Loss has occurred, Lessee will, at its expense, redeliver the Aircraft including all Documents and Records to Lessor at the Redelivery Location in a condition complying with this Agreement and in particular Schedule 4, free and clear of all Liens and Permitted Liens (other than Lessor Liens). 12.3 REDELIVERY ACKNOWLEDGMENT Provided Lessee has complied with its obligations under this Agreement, upon redelivery of the Aircraft by Lessee to Lessor at the Redelivery Location, Lessor will deliver to Lessee an acknowledgment confirming that Lessee has redelivered the Aircraft to Lessor in accordance with this Agreement. 12.4 SHORT TERM STORAGE At the election of Lessor, the Lessee shall store the Aircraft either at Lessee's facility or, at Lessee's option, at another facility that is satisfactory to Lessor for a period of up to 30 days following Redelivery of the Aircraft by Lessee to Lessor, so long as Lessor has given Lessee 30 days' written notice of such storage intent prior to the Redelivery Date. If Lessor gives Lessee written notice of its intent to store the Aircraft less than 30 days prior to the Redelivery Date, Lessee shall only be obligated to provide such storage if space is available in the Lessee's storage facilities. Lessee will maintain the Aircraft per the Manufacturer's recommended storage program, and Lessor shall pay all actual and reasonable expenses of such storage and maintenance. 12.5 EXPENSES All expenses associated with the Redelivery Check, in accordance with this Clause 12 and Schedule 4, and any other Redelivery requirement, will be at the expense of the Lessee, unless specifically noted in this Agreement, or otherwise mutually agreed in writing. PAGE 50
12.6 WARRANTY TRANSFER Any warranties remaining from work accomplished by outside vendors or Parts installed on the Aircraft will be transferred to Lessor. For any component repair or overhaul performed by Lessee's internal shops, warranties will be transferred to Lessor on the understanding that Lessee's warranty is substantially the same as the industry standard of that component. 12.7 NON-COMPLIANCE To the extent that at the time of Final Inspection and demonstration flight, the Aircraft does not comply with the Redelivery condition of this Agreement, Lessee will at Lessor's option: (1) immediately rectify the non-compliance at Lessee's expense and to the extent the non-compliance extends beyond the Expiry Date, the Term will automatically be extended and this Agreement will remain in force until the non-compliance has been rectified to the mutual satisfaction of both parties, or (2) redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor and indemnify Lessor, and provide to Lessor's satisfaction security for such indemnity, against the cost of putting the Aircraft into the condition required by this Agreement, and pay to Lessor such actual and reasonable costs to troubleshoot and repair the non-compliant item as incurred by Lessor within 5 business days after the receipt of Lessor's invoice therefor, provided that all such repairs shall be completed within 90 days of Redelivery. 12.8 EXPORT At Redelivery, Lessee will provide to Lessor all documents necessary to export (if applicable) the Aircraft from the Redelivery Location if outside the USA (including without limitation, a valid and subsisting export license for the Aircraft). Lessee will also provide to Lessor all necessary assistance to enable the Lessor to obtain customs clearance and any other permissions and documentation relevant to exportation from the Redelivery Location if outside the USA and pay any Taxes incurred in respect of the exportation of the Aircraft from the Habitual Base. 12.9 LATE REDELIVERY If the Aircraft is not duly redelivered on the Expiry Date due to delays not caused by Lessor and unforeseen or foreseen in meeting return conditions, Lessee will be liable to Lessor (1) during the one month period following the Expiry Date, for Rent on the basis of the applicable Rent in the preceding Rental Period, and (2) thereafter for 150% such Rent. If in the reasonable judgment of Lessor the delay could have been avoided by the prudent planning of Lessee, Lessee will be liable to Lessor for Rent in the amount of 150% of the otherwise applicable Rent commencing on the fifteenth (15th) day following the scheduled Expiry Date. In each case, Rent will be prorated PAGE 51
on a daily basis in an amount equal to 1/30th of the monthly Rent and payable on a weekly basis, in advance, for each day following the Expiry Date, until the Aircraft is duly redelivered. Following redelivery of the Aircraft, Rent will be adjusted for the actual number of days between the Expiry Date and the actual Redelivery Date. Any excess amounts paid will be returned to Lessee upon satisfaction of all open items associated with the Redelivery.

that airport and will have all the powers and authorizations necessary for taking that action; or (b) serving notice requiring Lessee to redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor at an airport designated by the Lessor in the USA. 13.3 EXPORT If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and Lessor terminates this Agreement pursuant to Clause 13.2, Lessor may sell or otherwise deal with the Aircraft as if this Agreement had never been made and Lessee will at the request of Lessor take all steps necessary to effect (if applicable) export of the Aircraft from the country where the Aircraft is then situated and any other steps necessary to enable the Aircraft to be immediately redelivered to Lessor in accordance with this Agreement. Lessee hereby irrevocably and by way of security for its obligations under this Agreement appoints Lessor as its attorney to execute and deliver any documentation and to do any act or thing required in connection with the foregoing, including, but not limited to, filing any documents and taking any actions necessary for the purpose of requesting cancellation of the registration of the Aircraft with the Air Authority. 13.4 DEFAULT PAYMENTS If: (1) Default occurs and is continuing; or (2) the Aircraft is not delivered on the proposed Delivery Date by reason of failure of Lessee to satisfy any conditions to that delivery except in the event of an Excusable Delay; Lessee will indemnify Lessor on demand against any loss (including loss of profit), damage, expense, cost or inability which Lessor may sustain or incur directly or indirectly as a result thereof including but not limited to: (a) any loss of profit suffered by Lessor because of Lessor's inability to place the Aircraft on lease with another lessee on terms as favorable to Lessor as this Agreement or because the following are not as profitable to Lessor as such lease would have been but for such Default or non-delivery referred to in (1) and (2) above, namely (i) whatever use if any to which Lessor is able to put the Aircraft as an alternative to the Lease under this Agreement or (ii) any consequent sale or disposal by Lessor of the Aircraft and the funds arising upon such sale or disposal; and (b) any loss, cost, expense, or liability sustained or incurred by Lessor owing to Lessee's failure to redeliver the Aircraft on the date, at the place and in the condition required by this Agreement. PAGE 57
13.5 SURVIVAL All the representations, warranties, indemnities and unperformed covenants and Lessor's rights contained in this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force after the Expiry Date, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the lease of the Aircraft for any reason whatsoever. 14. ASSIGNMENT, NOVATION 14.1 LIEN Lessee will not assign, or create or permit to exist any Lien, other than Permitted Liens, over, any of its rights under this Agreement, the other Lessee Documents or the Insurances. 14.2 LEASE ASSIGNMENT/NOVATION Subject at all times and in all cases to Lessee's rights under this Agreement and such other restrictions as are set forth herein, Lessor, at its sole cost and expense, may sell, assign, pledge, transfer or convey (in each case a "Transfer") to any Person (each a "Transferee"), any or all of Lessor's rights, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement and in respect of the Aircraft; provided however, that no such Transfer shall, directly or indirectly, (i) materially increase Lessee's obligations, duties or liabilities under this Agreement or in respect of the Aircraft in any manner whatsoever, (ii) diminish or adversely affect Lessee's rights under this Agreement or in respect of the Aircraft; (iii) be made to any airline, or (iv) otherwise cause Lessee to incur any obligations, cost or expense in excess of those for which it would have been responsible in the absence of such Transfer; provided further however, that (a) any Transferee, whether of all or any part of Lessor's interest in and to this Agreement or the Aircraft, shall have executed and delivered to Lessee written confirmation in form reasonably satisfactory to Lessee that such Transferee agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (b) any Transferee, whether of all or any part of Lessor's interest in and to this Agreement or the Aircraft, shall have executed and delivered to Lessee, a letter of quiet enjoyment, in form and substance substantially equivalent to Clause 7.1 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Transfer of this Agreement or the Aircraft as security for any obligations of Lessor (whether in respect of any financing arrangements made by Lessor in respect of the Aircraft or otherwise), Lessor shall remain fully liable to Lessee for the prompt and due payment and performance of all of its duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement to the full extent as if no such Transfer had been made. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that should Lessor sell, assign transfer or convey to a Transferee, other than by way of security, all of Lessor's interest under this Agreement and in the Aircraft, Lessor shall thereupon be relieved of all of its obligations hereunder and Lessor's Transferee shall succeed to all of Lessor's rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement, subject however to Lessor's compliance with the terms and provisions of this Clause. PAGE 58
Subject to compliance by Lessor with this Clause 14.2, lessee shall execute and deliver, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, any and all instruments or documents reasonably requested by Lessor and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Lessor in connection with and to effectuate any such Transfer. 15. ILLEGALITY If, notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 17.7, it becomes unlawful in any jurisdiction for Lessor or Lessee to give effect to their respective obligations as contemplated by this Agreement, the affected party shall notify the other in writing. Lessor and Lessee will consult in good faith as to any steps which may be taken to restructure the transaction to avoid that unlawfulness but neither party will be under no obligation to take any such steps. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as Lessor in its discretion considers appropriate or advisable while any such illegality exists and prior to any such cure thereof, Lessor may by notice in writing to Lessee terminate the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement. Upon any such termination, Lessee will immediately redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor as follows: (i) if the illegality causing such termination relates to the rights or powers of Lessee and is attributable to the laws or regulations of the Republic of Panama or any other jurisdiction with jurisdiction over the rights or powers of Lessee, Lessee shall redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor in accordance with the requirements of Clause 12 and Schedule 4; (ii) if the illegality causing such termination relates to the rights or powers of Lessor or Beneficiary and is attributable to the laws of the USA or any other jurisdiction with jurisdiction over the rights or powers of Lessor or Beneficiary, Lessee shall return the Aircraft to Lessor in accordance with the requirements of Clauses 12.2, 12.4 12.5 12.6 and 12.8 of this Agreement, together with Clauses 1.0, 2.4, 2.8, 2.14, 2.15, 3.1, 4.1, 4.3 and 5.1 through 5.5 of Schedule 4. 16. DISCLAIMERS AND WAIVERS 16.1 EXCLUSION AND WAIVER AS BETWEEN LESSOR AND LESSEE, THE AIRCRAFT IS BEING DELIVERED AND LEASED TO LESSEE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT "AS IS, WHERE IS" AND, EXCEPT FOR LESSOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN CLAUSE 2.4 OF THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER LESSOR NOR ANY OTHER INDEMNITEE (OTHER THAN MANUFACTURER) MAKES ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WHATSOEVER. LESSOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN CLAUSE 2.4 ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN SUBSTITUTION FOR, AND LESSEE, FOR THE BENEFIT OF LESSOR AND ANY OTHER INDEMNITEE (OTHER THAN MANUFACTURER), HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND RENOUNCES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, PATENT AND OTHER INDEMNITIES, OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF LESSOR AND ANY OTHER INDEMNITEE (OTHER THAN MANUFACTURER), AND ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, CLAIMS AND REMEDIES OF LESSEE, ITS SUCCESSORS OR PERMITTED ASSIGNS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO ANY NONCONFORMANCE OR DEFECT IN THE AIRCRAFT, ANY PART THEREOF OR ANY OTHER THING PAGE 59
DELIVERED, LEASED, CHARTERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNDER THIS LEASE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: (1) ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE DESCRIPTION, CONFORMITY TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, AIRWORTHINESS, VALUE, CONDITION, DESIGN, OPERATION OF, OR QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP IN, OR ANY DEFECT IN, THE AIRCRAFT, THE AIRFRAME, ANY ENGINE, ANY PART, ANY DOCUMENTS, ANY RECORDS, ANY DATA OR ANY OTHER THING DELIVERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED HEREUNDER; (2) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR USE OR FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; (3) ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY AS TO TITLE; (4) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE; (5) ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK, COPYRIGHT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; (6) ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, RIGHT, CLAIM OR REMEDY IN TORT, WHETHER OR NOT IN STRICT OR ABSOLUTE LIABILITY OR ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF LESSOR OR ANY OTHER INDEMNITEE, WHETHER ACTUAL OR IMPUTED, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE; (7) THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECT OR NONCONFORMANCE IN THE AIRFRAME, ANY ENGINE, ANY PART, ANY DOCUMENTS, ANY RECORDS, ANY DATA OR ANY OTHER THING DELIVERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED HEREUNDER, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE; AND (8) ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, RIGHT, CLAIM OR REMEDY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT, THE AIRFRAME, ANY ENGINE, ANY PART, ANY DOCUMENT, ANY RECORD, ANY DATA OR ANY OTHER THING DELIVERED, LEASED OR TRANSFERRED HEREUNDER, FOR ANY LIABILITY OF LESSEE TO ANY THIRD PARTY OR FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, REVENUE OR PROFIT OR FOR ANY OTHER DIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. 16.2 CERTIFICATE OF ACCEPTANCE DELIVERY BY LESSEE TO LESSOR OF THE CERTIFICATE OF ACCEPTANCE WILL BE CONCLUSIVE PROOF AS BETWEEN LESSOR AND PAGE 60
LESSEE THAT LESSEE HAS EXAMINED AND INVESTIGATED THE AIRCRAFT, THAT THE AIRCRAFT AND THE DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS ARE SATISFACTORY TO LESSEE AND THAT LESSEE HAS IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY ACCEPTED THE AIRCRAFT FOR LEASE HEREUNDER WITHOUT ANY RESERVATIONS WHATSOEVER EXCEPT AS MAY BE STATED THEREIN. 17. MISCELLANEOUS 17.1 WAIVERS, REMEDIES, CUMULATIVE The rights of Lessor under this Agreement: (1) may be exercised as often as necessary; (2) are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under any law; and (3) may be waived only in writing and specifically. Delay in the exercise or non-exercise of any such right will not constitute a waiver of that right. 17.2 DELEGATION/AGENCY AGREEMENT Lessor may delegate to any person or persons all or any of the trusts, powers or discretions vested in it under this Agreement and any such delegation may be made upon such terms and conditions and subject to such regulations (including power to sub-delegate) as Lessor determines in its absolute discretion, provided that Lessor shall remain responsible for the performance of any such trusts, powers and discretions so delegated. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, certain obligations remain to be performed by Lessor in connection with the manufacture, fabrication and completion of the Aircraft by Manufacturer, which obligations, including the furnishing of certain equipment for the Aircraft, will be performed by Lessee. Lessee will act as Lessor's agent with respect to such matters as set forth in, and pursuant to, the terms of an agency agreement to be entered into by Lessor and Lessee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee. Lessee will perform its obligations as set forth in such agency agreement and provide the Aircraft equipment which must be provided by Lessee within the time periods required by Manufacturer, save for excusable delay. 17.3 CERTIFICATES Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, any certificate or determination by Lessor as to any rate of interest or as to any other amount payable under this Agreement will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Lessee provided that the same shall be accompanied by a written explanation, or PAGE 61
reasonable detail, as to the calculation or determination of any amount stated to be payable therein. 17.4 APPROPRIATION If any sum paid or recovered in respect of the liabilities of Lessee under this Agreement is less than the amount then due, Lessor may apply that sum to amounts due under this Agreement in such proportions and order and generally in such manner as Lessor may reasonably determine. 17.5 CURRENCY INDEMNITY 17.5.1 If Lessor receives an amount in respect of Lessee's liability under this Agreement or if such liability is converted into a claim, proof, judgment or order in a currency other than the currency in which the amount is expressed to be payable under this Agreement (the "contractual currency"), then: (1) Lessee will indemnify Lessor as an independent obligation against any loss arising out of or as a result of such conversion; (2) If the amount received by Lessor, when converted into the contractual currency (at the market rate at which Lessor is able on the relevant date to purchase the contractual currency with such other currency) is less than the amount owed in the contractual currency, Lessee will, immediately on demand, pay to Lessor an amount in the contractual currency equal to the deficit; and (3) Lessee will pay to Lessor on demand any exchange costs and Taxes payable in connection with the conversion. 17.5.2 Lessee waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under this Agreement in a currency other than the contractual currency. 17.6 SET-OFF Lessor may set off any matured obligation owed by Lessee under this Agreement, any Sister Lease or any other agreement between Lessor (or any affiliate or subsidiary of Lessor) and Lessee (each an "Other Agreement") in respect of which an Event of Default (or similar event) has occurred and is continuing (to the extent beneficially owned by Lessor) against any obligation (whether or not matured) owed by Lessor to Lessee, regardless of the place of payment or currency. If the obligations are in different currencies, Lessor may convert either obligation at the market rate of exchange available for the purpose of the set-off. If an obligation is unascertained or unliquidated, Lessor may in good faith estimate that obligation and set off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained or liquidated. Lessor will not be obliged to pay amounts to Lessee under this Agreement or any Other Agreements in respect of PAGE 62
which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing so long as any sums which are then due to Lessor by Lessee under this Agreement remain unpaid and any such amounts which would otherwise be due will fall due only if and when Lessee has paid all such sums except to the extent Lessor otherwise agrees or sets off such amounts against such payment pursuant to the foregoing. 17.7 SEVERABILITY If any provision hereof shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, then to the extent permitted by law, (a) all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and (b) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. If, however, any law pursuant to which such provisions are held invalid, illegal or unenforceable may be waived, such law is hereby waived by the parties hereto to the full extent permitted, to the end that this Agreement shall be deemed to be a valid and binding agreement in all respects, enforceable in accordance with its terms. 17.8 REMEDY If Lessee fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement, Lessor may, without being in any way obliged to do so or responsible for so doing and without prejudice to the ability of Lessor to treat the non-compliance as a Default or an Event of Default, effect compliance on behalf of Lessee, whereupon Lessee shall become liable to pay immediately any sums expended by Lessor, together with all costs and expenses (including legal costs) in connection therewith. 17.9 EXPENSES 17.9.1 Whether or not the Aircraft is delivered to Lessee pursuant to this Agreement unless any failure to effect delivery results from an act or omission to act by Lessor or Beneficiary not anticipated or otherwise permitted under this Agreement, Lessee will pay to Lessor on demand all reasonable expenses (including investigation and appraisal expenses, attorneys' fees and other costs) payable or incurred by Lessor in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of any of Lessor's rights under this Agreement or any related agreement, or in respect of the repossession of the Aircraft pursuant to Clause 13.2. 17.9.2 Each party shall bear all other expenses (including legal, professional, and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred or payable by such party in connection with the negotiation, preparation, and execution of this Agreement and/or the other documents contemplated hereby. 17.9.3 All expenses payable pursuant to Clause 17.9.1 will be paid in the currency in which they are incurred by Lessor. PAGE 63

Lessee and Lessor agree that a final non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Notice shall be deemed to commence from the date such notice is given by the insurers. Such notice will not, however, be given the normal expiry date of the Policy or any endorsement; and (8) reinsurance will (a) be on the same terms as the original insurances and will include the provisions of this Schedule, (b) provide that notwithstanding any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceedings of or affecting the reinsured that the reinsurers' liability will be to make such payments as would have fallen due under the relevant policy of reinsurance if the reinsured had (immediately before such bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceedings) discharged its obligations in full under the original insurance policies in respect of which the then relevant policy of reinsurance has been effected; and (c) contain a "cut-through" clause in the following form (or otherwise, satisfactory to Lessor): "The Reinsurers and the Reinsured hereby mutually agree that in the event of any claim arising under the reinsurances in respect of a total loss or other claim where as provided by the Aircraft Lease Agreement (MSN 29047) dated as of October 1, 1998 and made between Lessor and Lessee such claim is to be paid to the person named as sole loss payee under the primary insurances, the Reinsurers will in lieu of payment to the Reinsured, its successors in interest and assigns pay to the person named as sole loss payee under the primary insurances effected by the Reinsured, that portion of any loss due for which the Reinsurers would otherwise be liable to pay the original Reinsured (subject to proof of loss), it being understood and agreed that any such payment by the Reinsurers will (to the extent of such payment) fully discharge and release the Reinsurers from any and all further liability in connection therewith" subject to such provisions not contravening any law of the Jurisdiction of Incorporation.

To the extent that the Applicable LIBOR is higher or lower than **Material Redacted**% per annum, the
Assumed Rent shall be increased (in the case where the Applicable LIBOR is higher than **Material Redacted**% per annum) or reduced (in the case where the Applicable LIBOR is lower than **Material Redacted**% per annum) by $**Material Redacted** for each **Material Redacted**% difference between Applicable LIBOR and **Material Redacted**% per annum (and pro rata for fractions of a per cent) to determine the Rent payable by the Lessee on the Rent Dates for each Rental Period occurring on or after April 22, 2009." 3.3.

Lessor shall either pay to APB the full cost of labor and equipment or reimburse Lessee for same upon presentation to Lessor of the actual invoice. The blended winglets shall remain on the Aircraft at Redelivery." 3.4. ENGINE DERATE: Notwithstanding any other provision of the Lease, Lessor consents to Lessee's decreasing the Engine take-off thrust rating from 24,000lbs. to 22,000lbs. after installation of the blended winglets subject to receipt by Lessor of prior written confirmation (in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor acting reasonably) from the Engine Manufacturer that returning the Engine take-off thrust rating to 24,000lbs. will not result in any cost and, further, the parties agree that Schedule 4 to the Lease is hereby amended by adding the following as paragraph 3.6 thereof: "The take-off thrust rating of the Engines shall be not less than 24,000lbs at Redelivery". 3.5.

In any such case, if Lessee delivers a replacement letter of credit satisfying the requirements of this Agreement, Lessor shall return to Lessee the principal amount of such drawdown, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 5.2 RENT 5.2.1 TIME OF PAYMENT: Lessee will pay to Lessor or its order Rent on the first Rent Date and in advance on each subsequent Rent Date. Payment must be initiated adequately in advance of each Rent Date to ensure that Lessor PAGE 32
receives credit for the payment of Rent payable on such Rent Date, or on the immediately preceding Business Day if such Rent Date is not a Business Day. 5.2.2 RENTAL PERIODS: The first Rental Period will commence on the Delivery Date and end on the fourteenth (14th) day of the second month following the Delivery Date. The second Rental Period will commence on the fifteenth (15th) day of the second month following the Delivery Date, with each subsequent Rental Period commencing on the fifteenth (15th) day of each subsequent month for the duration of the Term. The last Rental Period shall end on the Expiry Date. 5.3 SUPPLEMENTAL RENT 5.3.1 PAYMENT: Upon Redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor at the time and in the manner provided hereunder, Lessee shall make a single payment to Lessor of Supplemental Rent in respect of Aircraft usage during the Term. 5.3.2 CALCULATION: (1) Not less than six (6) months prior to the scheduled Expiry Date, Lessee shall provide to Lessor sufficient industry estimates, reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, to enable Lessor and Lessee to calculate the estimated amount of Supplemental Rent payable by Lessee on Redelivery, such estimates to be based on Lessee's actual utilization of the Aircraft during the first 54 months of the Term. Such data shall include bona fide, arm's length market estimates from not fewer than three (3) mutually acceptable, internationally recognized aircraft maintenance providers of the cost of providing to Lessor or to another third party, other than Lessee or Continental Airlines, Inc., (i) a block D-Check, including a lower level check on the Airframe, (ii) a full restoration shop visit of each Engine, and (iii) a complete overhaul of the APU and the Landing Gear, including in each case all routine and non-routine work, material, labor and reasonable handling charges prevailing at the time, but excluding the cost of any replacement of Life Limited Parts (each of the Airframe, each Engine, the APU and the Landing Gear referred to as a "Component," and each of the respective costs described in subclauses (i) through (iii) referred to as a "Check/Overhaul Cost," for purposes of this Clause 5.3.2). Prior to the Expiry Date, Lessor and Lessee shall discuss in good faith, and agree on, the applicable Check/Overhaul Cost for each Component. (2) On the Expiry Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor Supplemental Rent in respect of each Component in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Check/Overhaul Cost, times (ii) the result of (A) the time since such Component was new or since such Component had a full PAGE 33
restoration shop visit or complete overhaul, divided by (B) the mean time between overhaul ("Interval") for such Component as defined or estimated by the manufacturer of such Component, adjusted for the actual utilization of such Component by Lessee during the last six (6) months of the Term and as provided in clause (3) below. (3) The amount of Supplemental Rent calculated in accordance with clause (2) above shall be adjusted by deducting from the aggregate amount so calculated an amount equal to the sum of the Check/Overhaul Cost allocable to the first 20% of the Interval for each Component, provided that any such aggregate adjustment shall not result in a negative number and in no event shall Lessor be obligated to make any payment to Lessee under this Clause 5.3.2. (4) On the Expiry Date, if the time remaining on the life of any Life Limited Part is less than 80%, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to the product of (i) the actual cost to replace such Life Limited Part, times (ii) the difference, expressed as a percentage of the life of such Life Limited Part, between (A) 80% and (B) the time remaining on the life of such Life Limited Part expressed as a percentage. If the time remaining on the life of any Life Limited Part is more than 80%, Lessee shall receive a credit against any amounts then owing by it under clauses (2) and (3) above in an amount equal to the product of (i) the cost to replace such life Limited Part as determined above, times (ii) the difference, expressed as a percentage of the life of such Life Limited Part, between (A) 20% and (B) the time used on such Life Limited Part since new, expressed as a percentage. 5.4 PAYMENTS 5.4.1 All payments by Lessee to Lessor under this Agreement will be made for value on the due date in Dollars, and if in relation to amounts incurred by Lessor other than in Dollars, in the Dollar equivalent advised by Lessor's bankers, and in same day funds settled through the New York Clearing House System or such other funds as may for the time being be customary for the settlement in New York City of international payments in Dollars by telegraphic transfer to the Payment Account. Lessee shall make all arrangements in advance to ensure that payment is received as above by Lessor on the due date. 5.4.2 All payments by Lessor to Lessee under this Agreement will be made by telegraphic transfer to the Payment Account in Dollars, and if in relation to amounts incurred by Lessee other than in Dollars, in the Dollar equivalent advised by Lessor's bankers. PAGE 34
5.5 GROSS-UP 5.5.1 All payments by Lessee under or in connection with this Agreement will be made without set-off or counterclaim, free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any or all Taxes. 5.5.2 All Taxes in respect of payments under this Agreement shall be for the account of and will be paid by Lessee prior to the date on which penalties apply, except to the extent that such payment is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, in respect of which adequate reserves have been provided by Lessee and non-payment of which does not give rise to any material likelihood of the Aircraft or any interest therein being sold, forfeited or otherwise lost or of criminal liability on the part of Lessor. 5.5.3 If Lessee is compelled by law to make payment subject to any Tax and Lessor or Beneficiary does not actually receive for its own benefit on the due date a net amount equal to the full amount provided for under this Agreement, Lessee will pay all necessary additional amounts to ensure receipt by Lessor of the full amount so provided for. 5.6 TAXES AND OTHER PAYMENTS Except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein, Lessee will promptly pay, or promptly after demand indemnify Lessor and Beneficiary against: (1) all Taxes and other fees or charges of any nature imposed by any Government Entity or other person including any airport or provider of service with respect to this Agreement, including without limitation the delivery, leasing, possession, use, operation, maintenance, storage, return or replacement of any Engine or Part or any other disposition or dealing by Lessee with or relating to the Aircraft during the Term; and (2) all rent, fees, charges, Taxes and other amounts in respect of any premises where the Aircraft or any Part thereof is located from time to time; except to the extent that such payment is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, in respect of which adequate reserves have been provided by Lessee and non-payment of which does not give rise to any material likelihood of the Aircraft or any interest therein being sold, forfeited or otherwise lost or of criminal liability on the part of Lessor. 5.7 VALUE ADDED TAX 5.7.1 For the purposes of this sub-clause: (1) "VAT" means value added tax and any sales or turnover tax, imposition or levy of a like nature (other than Lessor Taxes); and PAGE 35
(2) "supply" includes anything on which VAT is chargeable. 5.7.2 Lessee will pay to Lessor or the relevant taxing authority, as the case may be, the amount of any VAT chargeable in respect of any supply for VAT purposes under this Agreement. 5.7.3 Each amount stated as payable by Lessee under this Agreement is exclusive of VAT (if any) and is accordingly to be construed as a reference to that amount plus any VAT in respect of it. 5.8 INFORMATION If Lessee is required by any applicable law, or by any third party, to deliver any report or return in connection with any Taxes, Lessee will, to the extent the same shall be pertinent, state therein that Lessee is exclusively responsible for the use and operation of the Aircraft and for any Taxes arising therefrom and Lessee will on request supply a copy of the report or return to Lessor. Lessor shall provide Lessee with such information in the possession of Lessor or otherwise reasonably available to it as Lessee may reasonably request to fulfill its tax filing requirements under this Clause 5.8 and any audit information request arising in connection with the Taxes subject to this Clause 5. If any report or return is required to be made with respect to any obligations of Lessee under this Clause 5, Lessee will make such report or return, provided that Lessee shall have no obligation to file any such return or report if (A) Lessor, after Lessee's written request therefor, shall have failed to furnish Lessee with such information as is peculiarly within the control of, or reasonably available to Lessor and is necessary for the filing of such report or return, or (B) such return or report would or should have been filed by Lessor even if it had not entered into this Agreement. 5.9 TAXATION OF INDEMNITY PAYMENTS 5.9.1 If and to the extent that any sums payable to an Indemnitee by Lessee under this Agreement by way of indemnity are insufficient, by reason of any Taxes payable in respect of those sums, for such Indemnitee to discharge the corresponding liability to the relevant third party (including any taxation authority), or to reimburse such Indemnitee for the cost incurred by it to a third party (including any taxation authority), Lessee will pay to such Indemnitee such sum as will after the Tax liability has been fully satisfied leave such Indemnitee with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of that liability, together with interest on the amount of the deficit at the rate of interest stated in Clause 5.10 (both before and after judgment) in respect of the period commencing on the date on which the payment of the Tax is finally due until payment by Lessee. 5.9.2 If and to the extent that any sums constituting (directly or indirectly) an indemnity to an Indemnitee but paid by Lessee to any person other than PAGE 36
such Indemnitee are treated as taxable in the hands of such Indemnitee, Lessee will pay to such Indemnitee, within 5 Business Days of a written demand accompanied by reasonable evidence of liability, such sum as will after the tax liability has been fully satisfied indemnify such Indemnitee to the same extent as it would have been indemnified in the absence of such liability. 5.10 DEFAULT INTEREST If Lessee fails to pay any amount payable under this Agreement or another Lessee Document on the due date, Lessee will pay on demand from time to time to Lessor or such other party as shall have a right thereto interest (both before and after judgment) on that amount, from the due date to the date of payment in full by Lessee to Lessor or such other party, at the rate calculated by Lessor to be 3% per cent per annum plus LIBOR at the rate quoted for the period closest to the length of time from such due date to such payment date. All such interest will be compounded monthly and calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year. 5.11 CONTEST If a claim is made in writing against any Lessor (whether on audit or otherwise) or if Lessee disputes the amount of any Tax payable by Lessor for which Lessee is required to reimburse or indemnify hereunder for any Taxes that Lessee is required to pay or indemnify against pursuant to Clause 5.6, Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within 10 Business Days of the receipt of such claim, provided that a failure to so notify will not diminish or relieve Lessee of any obligations under Clause 5.6, except to the extent Lessee is entitled to contest or to cause Lessor to contest such Taxes and Lessee's or Lessor's successful defense of such claim is materially prejudiced or precluded thereby. If the amount of the claim exceeds $25,000 and if requested by Lessee in accordance with this Clause 5.11 and in writing within 30 Business Days after receipt by Lessee of the notice described in the preceding sentence, Lessor shall in good faith and with due diligence contest (including pursuing administrative and judicial appeals) in the name of Lessor or, if permitted by law and requested by Lessee in the name of Lessee, the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes in appropriate administrative or judicial proceedings to be determined by Lessor, provided that (1) prior to taking such action, Lessee shall have agreed to pay Lessor all out-of-pocket costs and expenses that Lessor may incur in connection with contesting such claim, including, without limitation, all reasonable legal and accountant's fees and disbursements and costs of administrative and judicial proceedings, and the amount of any interest or penalties that may be attributable to and payable as a result of contesting such claim (or, at Lessor's request, Lessee shall advance to Lessor funds with which to pay the foregoing amounts, and Lessor's obligation to contest any Tax shall be suspended during any period Lessee does not advance sufficient funds to pay such amounts as they accrue or become payable), (2) if such contest is to be initiated by the payment of, and the claiming of a refund for such Taxes (and any interest and penalties that also must be paid), Lessee shall have advanced Lessor sufficient funds (on an interest-free basis) PAGE 37
to make such payment, (3) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (4) the action to be taken will not result in a material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of Lessor's title to the Aircraft (unless Lessee provides a bond or other security satisfactory to Lessor), (5) at Lessor's request, Lessee shall provide to Lessor a written opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor of independent legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that there is a reasonable basis for such contest and (6) Lessee acknowledges and agrees, in writing, that in the event such contest is unsuccessful Lessee shall fully indemnify Lessor against such Taxes (and any related interest and penalties). Notwithstanding that the conditions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) above may have been satisfied, Lessor, after consulting in good faith with Lessee, may elect not to pursue any contest or proceeding pursuant to the preceding sentence or elect to discontinue (by settlement or otherwise) any such contest or proceeding commenced pursuant to the preceding sentence, but such election shall constitute a waiver by Lessor of any right to payment or indemnification pursuant to Clause 5.6 with respect to the adjustment that was the subject of such proposed contest or proceeding (and any other adjustment the contest of which is precluded by such failure to contest) and, if Lessee has theretofore paid or provided Lessor with funds to pay any amount with respect to such adjustment, Lessor shall promptly repay such amount to Lessee. If Lessor shall obtain a refund in whatever form of all or any part of any Taxes that Lessee shall have paid or reimbursed to Lessor hereunder, Lessor shall, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, pay to Lessee an amount that is equal to the sum of the amount of such refund or credit, plus any interest received on such refund fairly attributable to any Taxes paid by or with funds provided by Lessee prior to receipt of such refund, reduced by any Taxes incurred by Lessor by reason of the receipt or accrual of such refund and interest and net of any expenses described above that have not been previously reimbursed, and increased by any Tax benefit realized by Lessor as a result of any payment by Lessor made pursuant to this sentence, provided further that, if, at the time of such payment an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor shall hold the amount of such payment as security for the obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the Lease, and at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default, shall pay such amount to the Lessee. Lessor hereby agrees that it will inform Lessee of the time and place of, and Lessor will not object to Lessee's presence at, any proceeding conducted pursuant to this clause 5.11, provided that Lessor shall be entitled to conduct any proceedings in respect of taxes for which Lessee is not obligated to indemnify Lessor outside the presence of Lessee and Lessee's presence also must be allowed by applicable law and provided further that the conditions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) above shall have been, and shall continue to be, satisfied. 5.12 COMPUTATIONS At Lessee's request, the computation by Lessor of any amount payable by Lessee pursuant to this Clause 5 shall be verified by an independent accounting firm of national reputation selected by Lessor. The fees of such accountants shall be paid by Lessee unless such accountants determine that the amount payable to Lessee is at PAGE 38
least 25% more, or the amount payable by Lessee is at least 25% less, than the amount computed by Lessor, in which case such fees shall be payable by Lessor. 5.13 PAYMENTS ABSOLUTE Lessee's obligations under this Agreement as to payment are absolute and unconditional irrespective of any contingency whatsoever including (but not limited to): (1) any right of set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which either party to this Agreement may have against the other; (2) any unavailability of the Aircraft for any reason, including, but not limited to, a requisition of the Aircraft or any prohibition or interruption of or interference with or other restriction against Lessee's use, operation or possession of the Aircraft; (3) any defect in airworthiness, merchantability, fitness for any purpose, condition, design, or operation of any kind or nature of the Aircraft for any particular use or trade, or for registration or documentation under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, or any Event of Loss in respect of, or any damage to, the Aircraft; (4) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation, examination or similar proceedings by or against Lessee; (5) any invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization of, or other defect in, this Agreement; and (6) any other cause which but for this provision would or might otherwise have the effect of terminating or in any way affecting any obligation of Lessee under this Agreement. Nothing in this Clause 5.13 shall be construed to prohibit Lessee from separately pursuing any claim that it may have from time to time against Lessor or any other Person with respect to any matter, provided that any such claim shall not contest the applicability or enforceability of the foregoing provisions of this Clause 5.13. 6. MANUFACTURERS' WARRANTIES 6.1 BENEFIT OF WARRANTIES Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor agrees to make available to Lessee such rights as Lessor may have under any warranty with respect to the Aircraft of any Engine made by the Manufacturer or the Engine Manufacturer, respectively, pursuant to their respective standard assignment forms. To the extent that any warranties and/or rights (if any), express or implied, with PAGE 39
respect to or otherwise related to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part from the Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer or any other manufacturer, vendor, subcontractor or supplier to Lessor, are not directly assignable by Lessor to Lessee, Lessor agrees to extend to Lessee, at Lessee's cost, the benefit of each such warranty and right to the extent possible. 6.2 PARTS Except to the extent Lessor otherwise agrees in a particular case, Lessee will procure that all engines, components, furnishings or equipment provided by the manufacturer, vendor, subcontractor or supplier in replacement of a defective Engine or Part pursuant to the terms of any warranty will be installed promptly by Lessee and that title thereto vests in Lessor free of Liens. On installation those items will be deemed to be an Engine or Part, as applicable. 6.3 REASSIGNMENT At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term as provided herein, Lessee shall reassign to Lessor, or its designee, without recourse or warranty, the benefit of any subsisting warranty and right assigned by Lessor to Lessee pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Lessee at its own cost and expense will do all such things and execute such documents as may reasonably be required for this purpose. 7. LESSOR'S COVENANTS 7.1 QUIET ENJOYMENT Lessor covenants that so long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, (i) Lessee shall quietly enjoy, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Aircraft and all rents, revenues, profits and income thereof, without interference from Lessor, or from any Person lawfully claiming by or through Lessor (including, without limitation, any Person providing financing or refinancing for the Aircraft), and (ii) neither Lessor nor any Person lawfully claiming by or through Lessor shall take or cause to be taken any action contrary to such right of quiet enjoyment. Lessor shall cause any Person providing financing or refinancing for the Aircraft to provide to Lessee a comparable covenant of quiet enjoyment. 7.2 END PAYMENT 7.2.1 Promptly following: (1) Redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor in accordance with and in the condition required by this Agreement; or (2) payment to Lessor of the Agreed Value following an Event of Loss after the delivery Date; PAGE 40
or, in each case, such later time as Lessor is satisfied Lessee has paid to Lessor all amounts which may then be due and payable under this Agreement, Lessor will: (a) pay to Lessee the amount of any Rent received in respect of any period falling after the Redelivery Date or payment of the Agreed Value, as the case may be; (b) return to Lessee any remaining Cash Deposit, subject to any application and reduction by Lessor pursuant to Clause 5.1; and (c) return the Letters of Credit to Lessee, subject to any drawings pursuant to Clause 5.1. 7.2.2 If, at the end of the Term, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the rebate and payments and return of the Letters of Credit, contemplated above will only be made following (1) any cure by Lessee to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction of such Event of Default, and (2) any set-off by Lessor hereunder, but any such rebate and return of the Letters of Credit or payment shall only be to the extent of the applicable balance remaining following such set-off. 7.3 MANUFACTURER CREDIT AND PRODUCT SUPPORT 7.3.1 Lessor shall, on or prior to delivery of the Aircraft hereunder, assign or shall cause to be assigned or otherwise provided to Lessee a new operator credit memorandum in the amount of the New Operator Credit to be issued by Manufacturer under the Purchase Agreement at the time of delivery of the Aircraft under the Purchase Agreement, such credit memorandum to be used in accordance with the terms thereof for the purchase of spare parts or training from Manufacturer or for the cost of certification to comply with applicable requirements of the Panamanian aviation authorities. 7.3.2 Lessor shall, on or prior to delivery of the Aircraft hereunder, assign or cause to be assigned to Lessee training, product support and onsite technical assistance applicable to the Aircraft and to the Engines to be furnished by Manufacturer pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and by the Engine manufacturer pursuant to its agreements with Lessor or Beneficiary, as the case may be, respectively. 7.3.3 Lessee shall provide directly to Manufacturer or to Lessor, as the case may be, all indemnities and insurance coverage, and perform all related obligations, required by Manufacturer or the Engine manufacturer in connection with such training, product support and onsite technical assistance, and shall otherwise indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against all claims and liabilities of any kind related thereto. PAGE 41
7.4 AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE COST SHARING Where the cost of any single non-repetitive airworthiness directive to be accomplished pursuant to Clause 14.8 of Schedule 3 or which Lessee is otherwise required by the terms of this Agreement to accomplish exceeds US$**Material Redacted**, Lessor shall pay to Lessee, as long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, an amount calculated in accordance with the following formula: C x (N - R) / N Where N = **Material Redacted** R = the number of complete months remaining in the Term after completion of the modification C = the cost of the modification in excess of US$**Material Redacted**. 8. LESSEE'S COVENANTS 8.1 DURATION Subject to Clause 10.2, the undertakings of Lessee under this Agreement will: (1) except as otherwise stated, be performed at the expense of Lessee; and (2) remain in force until the earlier to occur of (a) Redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor in accordance with this Agreement either at the end of the Term, or earlier as provided herein, and payment of all obligations of Lessee hereunder or (b) receipt by Lessor of the Agreed Value pursuant to an Event of Loss. 8.2 FURTHER COVENANTS Lessee also covenants to Lessor to perform the covenants set out in Schedule 3. 9. INSURANCE 9.1 INSURANCES Lessee will maintain in full force during the Term insurances in respect of the Aircraft in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and in conformity with and covering such risks as are set forth in Schedule 5 hereof (the "Insurances," which expression includes, where the context so admits, any relevant re-insurance(s)) through such brokers, with such lead underwriters being subject to such exclusions as may be approved by Lessor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and in such amounts and having such deductibles as are set forth in Schedule 5 hereof. The Insurances will be effected either: PAGE 42
(1) on a direct basis with insurers of recognized standing who normally participate in aviation insurances in the leading international insurance markets and led by reputable underwriter(s) approved by Lessor (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); or (2) with a single insurer or group of insurers approved by Lessor who does not retain the risk but effects substantial reinsurance with reinsurers in the leading international insurance markets and through brokers each of recognized standing and acceptable to Lessor for a percentage acceptable to Lessor of all risks insured (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 9.2 REQUIREMENTS Lessor's current requirements as to required Insurances are as specified in this Clause 9 and in Schedule 5. Also, Lessor may request the addition of additional insureds, as appropriate. 9.3 CHANGE Lessor shall be entitled to revoke its approval of Lessee's broker or lead underwriter(s) provided that: (i) there shall have occurred after the date hereof, any event or series of events which in Lessor's reasonable opinion, after consultation with Lessee and such broker or underwriter(s), has adversely affected such broker's or underwriter's ability to perform its obligations with respect to the Insurances required to be maintained hereunder; (ii) a majority of Lessee's other lessors of aircraft consent to the resulting change in broker or lead underwriter(s); and (iii) similar insurance is then generally available through other brokers and underwriters in the major international insurance markets upon terms substantially similar to the then current policy or policies. 9.4 INSURANCE COVENANTS Lessee will: (1) ensure that all legal requirements as to insurance of the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part which may from time to time be imposed by the laws of the Jurisdiction of Registration, the Jurisdiction of Incorporation, or any state to, from, or over which the Aircraft may be flown, insofar as they affect or concern the operation of the Aircraft, are complied with and in particular those requirements, compliance with which is necessary to ensure that: (a) the Aircraft is not in material risk of detention or forfeiture; (b) the Insurances remain valid and in full force and effect; and (c) the interests of the Indemnitees in the Insurances and the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part are not thereby prejudiced; PAGE 43
(2) not use, cause or permit the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part to be used for any purpose or in any manner not covered by the Insurances or outside any geographical limit imposed by the Insurances; (3) comply with the terms and conditions of each policy of the Insurances and not do, consent or agree to any act or omission which: (a) invalidates or may reasonably be expected to invalidate the Insurances; or (b) renders, or may reasonably be expected to render, void or voidable the whole or any part of any of the Insurances; or (c) brings any particular liability within the scope of an exclusion or exception to the Insurances; (4) [Intentionally omitted.] (5) commence renewal procedures in due time prior to expiry of any of the Insurances and provide to Lessor: (a) if requested by Lessor, a written status report of renewal negotiations 10 days prior to each expiry date; (b) facsimile or telexed confirmation of completion of renewal together with summary of conditions prior to each expiry date; and (c) certificates of insurance (and where appropriate certificates of reinsurance) and broker's (and any reinsurance brokers') letter of undertaking in a form reasonably acceptable to Lessor in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 9, in English, detailing the coverage and confirming the insurers' (and any reinsurers') agreement to the specified insurance requirements of this Agreement within 7 days of renewal; (6) [Intentionally omitted.] (7) [Intentionally omitted.] (8) not make any modification or alteration to the Insurances material and adverse to the interests of any of the Indemnitees; (9) be responsible for any deductible under the Insurances; and (10) provide any other insurance and reinsurance related information in respect of the Insurances as Lessor may reasonably require. PAGE 44
9.5 FAILURE TO INSURE If Lessee fails to maintain the Insurances in compliance with this Agreement, each of the Indemnitees will be entitled but not bound (without prejudice to any other rights of Lessor under this Agreement): (1) to pay the premiums due or to effect and maintain insurances satisfactory to it or otherwise remedy Lessee's failure in such manner (including, without limitation to effect and maintain an "owner's interest" policy) as it considers appropriate. Any sums so expended by it will become immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor (or an Indemnitee) together with interest thereon at the rate specified in Clause 5.10, from the date of expenditure by it up to the date of reimbursement by Lessee; or (2) at any time while such failure is continuing, to require the Aircraft to remain at any airport or to proceed to and remain at any airport designated by it until the failure is remedied to its satisfaction. 9.6 CONTINUING INDEMNITY Lessor may require Lessee to effect and to maintain insurance after the Expiry Date with respect to its liability under the indemnities in Clause 10 for such period as Lessor may reasonably require (but in no event for a period longer than the earlier to occur of two years following the Expiry Date or the next D-check, or equivalent) and which provides for each Indemnitee to be named as additional insured. Lessee's obligation in this clause shall not be affected by Lessee's ceasing to be Lessee of the Aircraft and/or any of the Indemnitees ceasing to have any interest in respect of the Aircraft. 9.7 APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS As between Lessor and Lessee: (1) all insurance proceeds, other than proceeds of insurance described in Clause 9.8, received as the result of an Event of Loss occurring during the Term will be paid to Lessor; (2) all insurance proceeds of any property, damage or loss to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part occurring during the Term not constituting an Event of Loss and in excess of the Damage Notification Threshold shall be paid to Lessor and applied in payment (or to reimburse Lessee) for repairs or replacement property upon Lessor's being satisfied that the repairs or replacement have been effected in accordance with this Agreement. Insurance proceeds in amounts below the Damage Notification Threshold may be paid by the insurer directly to Lessee or repairers in respect of repairs or replacements only; PAGE 45
(3) all insurance proceeds in respect of third party liability will be paid by the insurers to the relevant third party in satisfaction of the relevant liability or to Lessor or Lessee in reimbursement of any payment so made by them with the agreement of the insurers; and (4) notwithstanding Clauses 9.7(1), (2) or (3), if at the time of the payment of any such insurance proceeds a Default has occurred and is continuing, all such proceeds will be paid to or retained by Lessor as security for the performance of Lessee's obligations hereunder and may be applied toward payment of any amounts which may then be payable by Lessee under this Agreement or any Sister Lease in such order as Lessor reasonably sees fit. The amount so retained or the balance thereof after application of any portion thereof as provided in this Clause 9.7(4) shall be paid to Lessee at such time as such Default shall have ceased to exist. 9.8 INSURANCE FOR LESSEE'S OWN ACCOUNTS Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent Lessee, at its sole expense, from carrying insurance covering the Aircraft, the Airframe, the Engines or any engine or engines from time to time installed on the Airframe or any Part in addition to the Insurances required under this Clause 9, or in amounts greater than those required under this Clause 9 (any such insurance "Additional Insurance"), provided that such Additional Insurance does not adversely affect the rights of Lessor, Beneficiary or any other Additional Insured to make any claim or obtain recovery or coverage in full under any of the Insurances required to be maintained pursuant to this Clause 9. The proceeds of any such Additional Insurance shall be paid directly to and shall be deemed the sole property of Lessee. 10. INDEMNITY 10.1 GENERAL Except as set forth in Clause 10.3, Lessee agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against any and all claims, proceedings, losses, liabilities, suits, judgment, costs (including attorneys' fees and related costs), expenses, penalties or fines (each a "Claim") (where any such Claim relates to an occurrence suffered, incurred, or arising out of an event the happening of which was during the Term or prior to redelivery of the Aircraft, but not before the Term) regardless of when the Claim is made whether or not it arises out of or is attributable to any act or omission, negligent or otherwise, of any Indemnitee: (1) which may at any time be suffered or incurred directly or indirectly as a result of or connected with the possession, delivery, performance, management, registration, control, maintenance, condition, service, repair, overhaul, leasing, use, operation or return of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part (either in the air or on the ground) whether or not the Claim may be PAGE 46
attributable to any defect in the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or to its design, testing or use or otherwise; (2) which arises otherwise from or in connection with the leasing of the Aircraft to Lessee under this Agreement and any act or omission of Lessee; (3) which arises out of any act or omission which invalidates or which renders voidable any of the Insurances; or (4) which, except as to the Manufacturer, may at any time be suffered or incurred as a consequence of any design, production, article or material in the Aircraft, any Engine or any part or its operation or use constituting an infringement of patent, copyright, trademark, design or other proprietary right or a breach of any obligation of confidentiality owed to any person; but excluding any Claim to the extent that the Claim is covered pursuant to another indemnity provision of this Agreement or to the extent it arises solely as a result of Lessor Taxes or a Lessor Lien. 10.2 DURATION The indemnities contained in this Agreement will continue in full force after the Expiry Date. 10.3 EXCEPTIONS Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lessee shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee in respect of any Claim arising from or otherwise attributable to: (1) acts or events which occur prior to execution of this Agreement or after Redelivery of the Aircraft to the Lessor in the manner and in the condition required hereunder, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to release Lessee from any of its obligations hereunder that provide for performance after termination of the Term; (2) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; (3) Lessor Taxes; (4) Lessor Liens; (5) ordinary and usual operating or overhead expenses of such Indemnitee other than arising in connection with a Default or an Event of Default hereunder; (6) the financing of the Aircraft or any voluntary or involuntary assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (collectively a "Transfer") of all or any interest of such Indemnitee in or to the Aircraft, any Engine or Part or PAGE 47
this Lease by any Person other than the Lessee unless such Transfer arises in connection with the exercise by Lessor of any available remedies during the existence of an Event of Default); and (7) as to the Manufacturer, any breach by Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer of any of their respective warranties as set forth in the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or instrument between Manufacturer, Engine Manufacturer or any vendor, supplier or subcontractor of Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer, or as a consequence of any design or production defect. Lessee shall be subrogated to the rights and remedies which any Indemnitee may have against the Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer or any supplier, vendor, subcontractor or other manufacturer of any Part or any other Person claiming against such Indemnitee, provided Lessee shall have satisfied its indemnification obligations hereunder. If any Indemnitee obtains a recovery of all or any portion of any indemnity amount which Lessee has paid in full to such Indemnitee, provided that at such time as no Default has occurred and is then continuing, such Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee the net amount recovered by such Indemnitee within ten Business Days after receipt thereof. 11. EVENTS OF LOSS 11.1 PRE-DELIVERY If an Event of Loss occurs prior to delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee, this Agreement will immediately terminate and except as expressly stated in this Agreement neither party will have any further obligation or liability under this Agreement other than pursuant to Clause 17.9, except that Lessor will return to Lessee the Cash Deposit and the Deposit Letter of Credit. 11.2 POST-DELIVERY If an Event of Loss occurs in respect of the Aircraft after delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee, Lessee will pay the Agreed Value to Lessor on or prior to the earlier of (1) 90 days after the Event of Loss and (2) the date of receipt of insurance proceeds in respect of that Event of Loss. Subject to the rights of any insurers and reinsurers or other third party, upon irrevocable payment in full to Lessor of that amount and all other amounts which may then be payable to Lessor under this Agreement, Lessor will without recourse or warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens) and without further act, be deemed to have transferred to Lessee all of Lessor's rights to any Engines and Parts not installed when the Event of Loss occurred, all on an as-is, where-is basis, and will at Lessee's reasonable expense (including Taxes, if any), execute and deliver such bills of sale and other documents and instruments as Lessee may reasonably request to evidence (on the public record or otherwise) the transfer and the vesting of PAGE 48
Lessor's rights in such Engines and Parts in Lessee, free and clear of all of Lessor Liens. 11.3 ENGINES If an Event of Loss occurs with respect to any Engine not then installed on the Aircraft, or upon any Event of Loss with respect to an Engine installed on the Aircraft not involving an Event of Loss of the Aircraft occurring after delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee, Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice thereof and Lessee shall replace such Engine as soon as reasonably possible by duly conveying to Lessor title to another engine owned or to be acquired by Lessee, which engine shall be free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, and shall be of the same make or model or an improved or advanced version, in such operating condition and of such value and utility as the Engine which sustained the Event of Loss was (or would have been if it had been maintained in accordance with the terms hereof). Such replacement engine shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein. Lessee agrees to take such action as Lessor may reasonably request in order that any such replacement Engine shall be duly and properly titled in Lessor and leased hereunder to the same extent as the Engine replaced thereby. Lessee's obligation to pay the Rent hereunder shall continue in full force and effect, but Lessee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Lessor the amount of insurance or condemnation proceeds, if any, received by Lessor with respect to such replaced Engine, subject to insurers' rights. 11.4 REQUISITION During any requisition for use or hire of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part which does not constitute or has not matured into an Event of Loss and provided always that it does not arise out of any act or omission of Lessor, Beneficiary or any Person claiming by or through Lessor or Beneficiary: (1) the Rent and other charges payable under this Agreement will not be suspended or abated either in whole or in part, and Lessee will not be released from any of its other obligations under the Agreement (other than operational obligations with which Lessee is unable to comply solely by virtue of the requisition); and (2) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee will be entitled to any hire paid by the requisitioning authority in respect of the Term, but if a Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor will be entitled to such hire to be held as security for Lessee's obligations hereunder and paid over to Lessee at such time as such Default shall not be continuing, if not applied in full or partial satisfaction of such obligations. Lessee will, as soon as practicable after the end of any such requisition, cause the Aircraft to be put into the condition required by this Agreement. Lessor will be entitled to all compensation payable by the requisitioning authority in respect of any change in the structure, state or condition of the Aircraft arising during the period of requisition, and Lessor will apply such compensation in PAGE 49
reimbursing Lessee for the cost of complying with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of any such change, but so that, if any Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor may apply the compensation or hire in or towards settlement of any amounts owing by Lessee under this Agreement. 12. REDELIVERY OF AIRCRAFT 12.1 NOTIFICATION Lessee will notify and provide Lessor with a schedule for the Redelivery of the Aircraft not later than 30 days prior to the commencement of the Redelivery Check, and Schedule 4 shall apply in relation to the Redelivery Check. 12.2 REDELIVERY On the Expiry Date or termination of the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement, unless an Event of Loss has occurred, Lessee will, at its expense, redeliver the Aircraft including all Documents and Records to Lessor at the Redelivery Location in a condition complying with this Agreement and in particular Schedule 4, free and clear of all Liens and Permitted Liens (other than Lessor Liens). 12.3 REDELIVERY ACKNOWLEDGMENT Provided Lessee has complied with its obligations under this Agreement, upon redelivery of the Aircraft by Lessee to Lessor at the Redelivery Location, Lessor will deliver to Lessee an acknowledgment confirming that Lessee has redelivered the Aircraft to Lessor in accordance with this Agreement. 12.4 SHORT TERM STORAGE At the election of Lessor, the Lessee shall store the Aircraft either at Lessee's facility or, at Lessee's option, at another facility that is satisfactory to Lessor for a period of up to 30 days following Redelivery of the Aircraft by Lessee to Lessor, so long as Lessor has given Lessee 30 days' written notice of such storage intent prior to the Redelivery Date. If Lessor gives Lessee written notice of its intent to store the Aircraft less than 30 days prior to the Redelivery Date, Lessee shall only be obligated to provide such storage if space is available in the Lessee's storage facilities. Lessee will maintain the Aircraft per the Manufacturer's recommended storage program, and Lessor shall pay all actual and reasonable expenses of such storage and maintenance. 12.5 EXPENSES All expenses associated with the Redelivery Check, in accordance with this Clause 12 and Schedule 4, and any other Redelivery requirement, will be at the expense of the Lessee, unless specifically noted in this Agreement, or otherwise mutually agreed in writing. PAGE 50
12.6 WARRANTY TRANSFER Any warranties remaining from work accomplished by outside vendors or Parts installed on the Aircraft will be transferred to Lessor. For any component repair or overhaul performed by Lessee's internal shops, warranties will be transferred to Lessor on the understanding that Lessee's warranty is substantially the same as the industry standard of that component. 12.7 NON-COMPLIANCE To the extent that at the time of Final Inspection and demonstration flight, the Aircraft does not comply with the Redelivery condition of this Agreement, Lessee will at Lessor's option: (1) immediately rectify the non-compliance at Lessee's expense and to the extent the non-compliance extends beyond the Expiry Date, the Term will automatically be extended and this Agreement will remain in force until the non-compliance has been rectified to the mutual satisfaction of both parties, or (2) redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor and indemnify Lessor, and provide to Lessor's satisfaction security for such indemnity, against the cost of putting the Aircraft into the condition required by this Agreement, and pay to Lessor such actual and reasonable costs to troubleshoot and repair the non-compliant item as incurred by Lessor within 5 business days after the receipt of Lessor's invoice therefor, provided that all such repairs shall be completed within 90 days of Redelivery. 12.8 EXPORT At Redelivery, Lessee will provide to Lessor all documents necessary to export (if applicable) the Aircraft from the Redelivery Location if outside the USA (including without limitation, a valid and subsisting export license for the Aircraft). Lessee will also provide to Lessor all necessary assistance to enable the Lessor to obtain customs clearance and any other permissions and documentation relevant to exportation from the Redelivery Location if outside the USA and pay any Taxes incurred in respect of the exportation of the Aircraft from the Habitual Base. 12.9 LATE REDELIVERY If the Aircraft is not duly redelivered on the Expiry Date due to delays not caused by Lessor and unforeseen or foreseen in meeting return conditions, Lessee will be liable to Lessor (1) during the one month period following the Expiry Date, for Rent on the basis of the applicable Rent in the preceding Rental Period, and (2) thereafter for 150% such Rent. If in the reasonable judgment of Lessor the delay could have been avoided by the prudent planning of Lessee, Lessee will be liable to Lessor for Rent in the amount of 150% of the otherwise applicable Rent commencing on the fifteenth (15th) day following the scheduled Expiry Date. In each case, Rent will be prorated PAGE 51
on a daily basis in an amount equal to 1/30th of the monthly Rent and payable on a weekly basis, in advance, for each day following the Expiry Date, until the Aircraft is duly redelivered. Following redelivery of the Aircraft, Rent will be adjusted for the actual number of days between the Expiry Date and the actual Redelivery Date. Any excess amounts paid will be returned to Lessee upon satisfaction of all open items associated with the Redelivery. During this extended period, all of the Lessee's other responsibilities and obligations will remain in full force and effect and Lessee will use its best commercially reasonable efforts to redeliver the Aircraft as soon as possible. 13. DEFAULT 13.1 EVENTS Each of the following events will constitute an Event of Default and a repudiation of this Agreement by Lessee: (1) NON-PAYMENT: Lessee fails to make any payment under this Agreement or another Lessee Document on the due date and such failure shall continue for a period of 5 Business Days; or (2) INSURANCE: Lessee fails to comply with any provision of Clause 9 or Schedule 5 or any insurance required to be maintained under this Agreement is canceled or terminated or otherwise fails to remain in full force and effect; or (3) BREACH: Lessee fails to comply with any other provision of this Agreement or another Lessee Document and, if such failure is in the reasonable opinion of Lessor capable of remedy, the failure continues for 30 days after notice from Lessor to Lessee; or (4) REPRESENTATION: Any representation or warranty made (or deemed to be repeated) by Lessee in or pursuant to this Agreement or another Lessee Document, or in any document, certificate or statement, is, or proves to have been, incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed to be repeated and, to the extent that the same are capable of remedy the circumstances giving rise to such representation or warranty being incorrect are not remedied within 30 days after notice from Lessor to Lessee; or (5) CROSS DEFAULT: (a) any Financial Indebtedness of Lessee or COPA Holdings is not paid when due, after giving effect to any applicable grace period; or (b) any such Financial Indebtedness becomes due or capable of being declared due prior to the date when it would otherwise have become due; or PAGE 52

that airport and will have all the powers and authorizations necessary for taking that action; or (b) serving notice requiring Lessee to redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor at an airport designated by the Lessor in the USA. 13.3 EXPORT If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and Lessor terminates this Agreement pursuant to Clause 13.2, Lessor may sell or otherwise deal with the Aircraft as if this Agreement had never been made and Lessee will at the request of Lessor take all steps necessary to effect (if applicable) export of the Aircraft from the country where the Aircraft is then situated and any other steps necessary to enable the Aircraft to be immediately redelivered to Lessor in accordance with this Agreement. Lessee hereby irrevocably and by way of security for its obligations under this Agreement appoints Lessor as its attorney to execute and deliver any documentation and to do any act or thing required in connection with the foregoing, including, but not limited to, filing any documents and taking any actions necessary for the purpose of requesting cancellation of the registration of the Aircraft with the Air Authority. 13.4 DEFAULT PAYMENTS If: (1) Default occurs and is continuing; or (2) the Aircraft is not delivered on the proposed Delivery Date by reason of failure of Lessee to satisfy any conditions to that delivery except in the event of an Excusable Delay; Lessee will indemnify Lessor on demand against any loss (including loss of profit), damage, expense, cost or inability which Lessor may sustain or incur directly or indirectly as a result thereof including but not limited to: (a) any loss of profit suffered by Lessor because of Lessor's inability to place the Aircraft on lease with another lessee on terms as favorable to Lessor as this Agreement or because the following are not as profitable to Lessor as such lease would have been but for such Default or non-delivery referred to in (1) and (2) above, namely (i) whatever use if any to which Lessor is able to put the Aircraft as an alternative to the Lease under this Agreement or (ii) any consequent sale or disposal by Lessor of the Aircraft and the funds arising upon such sale or disposal; and (b) any loss, cost, expense, or liability sustained or incurred by Lessor owing to Lessee's failure to redeliver the Aircraft on the date, at the place and in the condition required by this Agreement. PAGE 57
13.5 SURVIVAL All the representations, warranties, indemnities and unperformed covenants and Lessor's rights contained in this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force after the Expiry Date, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the lease of the Aircraft for any reason whatsoever. 14. ASSIGNMENT, NOVATION 14.1 LIEN Lessee will not assign, or create or permit to exist any Lien, other than Permitted Liens, over, any of its rights under this Agreement, the other Lessee Documents or the Insurances. 14.2 LEASE ASSIGNMENT/NOVATION Subject at all times and in all cases to Lessee's rights under this Agreement and such other restrictions as are set forth herein, Lessor, at its sole cost and expense, may sell, assign, pledge, transfer or convey (in each case a "Transfer") to any Person (each a "Transferee"), any or all of Lessor's rights, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement and in respect of the Aircraft; provided however, that no such Transfer shall, directly or indirectly, (i) materially increase Lessee's obligations, duties or liabilities under this Agreement or in respect of the Aircraft in any manner whatsoever, (ii) diminish or adversely affect Lessee's rights under this Agreement or in respect of the Aircraft; (iii) be made to any airline, or (iv) otherwise cause Lessee to incur any obligations, cost or expense in excess of those for which it would have been responsible in the absence of such Transfer; provided further however, that (a) any Transferee, whether of all or any part of Lessor's interest in and to this Agreement or the Aircraft, shall have executed and delivered to Lessee written confirmation in form reasonably satisfactory to Lessee that such Transferee agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (b) any Transferee, whether of all or any part of Lessor's interest in and to this Agreement or the Aircraft, shall have executed and delivered to Lessee, a letter of quiet enjoyment, in form and substance substantially equivalent to Clause 7.1 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Transfer of this Agreement or the Aircraft as security for any obligations of Lessor (whether in respect of any financing arrangements made by Lessor in respect of the Aircraft or otherwise), Lessor shall remain fully liable to Lessee for the prompt and due payment and performance of all of its duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement to the full extent as if no such Transfer had been made. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that should Lessor sell, assign transfer or convey to a Transferee, other than by way of security, all of Lessor's interest under this Agreement and in the Aircraft, Lessor shall thereupon be relieved of all of its obligations hereunder and Lessor's Transferee shall succeed to all of Lessor's rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement, subject however to Lessor's compliance with the terms and provisions of this Clause. PAGE 58
Subject to compliance by Lessor with this Clause 14.2, lessee shall execute and deliver, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, any and all instruments or documents reasonably requested by Lessor and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Lessor in connection with and to effectuate any such Transfer. 15. ILLEGALITY If, notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 17.7, it becomes unlawful in any jurisdiction for Lessor or Lessee to give effect to their respective obligations as contemplated by this Agreement, the affected party shall notify the other in writing. Lessor and Lessee will consult in good faith as to any steps which may be taken to restructure the transaction to avoid that unlawfulness but neither party will be under no obligation to take any such steps. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as Lessor in its discretion considers appropriate or advisable while any such illegality exists and prior to any such cure thereof, Lessor may by notice in writing to Lessee terminate the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement. Upon any such termination, Lessee will immediately redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor as follows: (i) if the illegality causing such termination relates to the rights or powers of Lessee and is attributable to the laws or regulations of the Republic of Panama or any other jurisdiction with jurisdiction over the rights or powers of Lessee, Lessee shall redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor in accordance with the requirements of Clause 12 and Schedule 4; (ii) if the illegality causing such termination relates to the rights or powers of Lessor or Beneficiary and is attributable to the laws of the USA or any other jurisdiction with jurisdiction over the rights or powers of Lessor or Beneficiary, Lessee shall return the Aircraft to Lessor in accordance with the requirements of Clauses 12.2, 12.4 12.5 12.6 and 12.8 of this Agreement, together with Clauses 1.0, 2.4, 2.8, 2.14, 2.15, 3.1, 4.1, 4.3 and 5.1 through 5.5 of Schedule 4. 16.

MISCELLANEOUS 17.1 WAIVERS, REMEDIES, CUMULATIVE The rights of Lessor under this Agreement: (1) may be exercised as often as necessary; (2) are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under any law; and (3) may be waived only in writing and specifically. Delay in the exercise or non-exercise of any such right will not constitute a waiver of that right. 17.2 DELEGATION/AGENCY AGREEMENT Lessor may delegate to any person or persons all or any of the trusts, powers or discretions vested in it under this Agreement and any such delegation may be made upon such terms and conditions and subject to such regulations (including power to sub-delegate) as Lessor determines in its absolute discretion, provided that Lessor shall remain responsible for the performance of any such trusts, powers and discretions so delegated. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, certain obligations remain to be performed by Lessor in connection with the manufacture, fabrication and completion of the Aircraft by Manufacturer, which obligations, including the furnishing of certain equipment for the Aircraft, will be performed by Lessee. Lessee will act as Lessor's agent with respect to such matters as set forth in, and pursuant to, the terms of an agency agreement to be entered into by Lessor and Lessee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee. Lessee will perform its obligations as set forth in such agency agreement and provide the Aircraft equipment which must be provided by Lessee within the time periods required by Manufacturer, save for excusable delay. 17.3 CERTIFICATES Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, any certificate or determination by Lessor as to any rate of interest or as to any other amount payable under this Agreement will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Lessee provided that the same shall be accompanied by a written explanation, or PAGE 61
reasonable detail, as to the calculation or determination of any amount stated to be payable therein. 17.4 APPROPRIATION If any sum paid or recovered in respect of the liabilities of Lessee under this Agreement is less than the amount then due, Lessor may apply that sum to amounts due under this Agreement in such proportions and order and generally in such manner as Lessor may reasonably determine. 17.5 CURRENCY INDEMNITY 17.5.1 If Lessor receives an amount in respect of Lessee's liability under this Agreement or if such liability is converted into a claim, proof, judgment or order in a currency other than the currency in which the amount is expressed to be payable under this Agreement (the "contractual currency"), then: (1) Lessee will indemnify Lessor as an independent obligation against any loss arising out of or as a result of such conversion; (2) If the amount received by Lessor, when converted into the contractual currency (at the market rate at which Lessor is able on the relevant date to purchase the contractual currency with such other currency) is less than the amount owed in the contractual currency, Lessee will, immediately on demand, pay to Lessor an amount in the contractual currency equal to the deficit; and (3) Lessee will pay to Lessor on demand any exchange costs and Taxes payable in connection with the conversion. 17.5.2 Lessee waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under this Agreement in a currency other than the contractual currency. 17.6 SET-OFF Lessor may set off any matured obligation owed by Lessee under this Agreement, any Sister Lease or any other agreement between Lessor (or any affiliate or subsidiary of Lessor) and Lessee (each an "Other Agreement") in respect of which an Event of Default (or similar event) has occurred and is continuing (to the extent beneficially owned by Lessor) against any obligation (whether or not matured) owed by Lessor to Lessee, regardless of the place of payment or currency. If the obligations are in different currencies, Lessor may convert either obligation at the market rate of exchange available for the purpose of the set-off. If an obligation is unascertained or unliquidated, Lessor may in good faith estimate that obligation and set off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained or liquidated. Lessor will not be obliged to pay amounts to Lessee under this Agreement or any Other Agreements in respect of PAGE 62
which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing so long as any sums which are then due to Lessor by Lessee under this Agreement remain unpaid and any such amounts which would otherwise be due will fall due only if and when Lessee has paid all such sums except to the extent Lessor otherwise agrees or sets off such amounts against such payment pursuant to the foregoing. 17.7 SEVERABILITY If any provision hereof shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, then to the extent permitted by law, (a) all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and (b) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. If, however, any law pursuant to which such provisions are held invalid, illegal or unenforceable may be waived, such law is hereby waived by the parties hereto to the full extent permitted, to the end that this Agreement shall be deemed to be a valid and binding agreement in all respects, enforceable in accordance with its terms. 17.8 REMEDY If Lessee fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement, Lessor may, without being in any way obliged to do so or responsible for so doing and without prejudice to the ability of Lessor to treat the non-compliance as a Default or an Event of Default, effect compliance on behalf of Lessee, whereupon Lessee shall become liable to pay immediately any sums expended by Lessor, together with all costs and expenses (including legal costs) in connection therewith. 17.9 EXPENSES 17.9.1 Whether or not the Aircraft is delivered to Lessee pursuant to this Agreement unless any failure to effect delivery results from an act or omission to act by Lessor or Beneficiary not anticipated or otherwise permitted under this Agreement, Lessee will pay to Lessor on demand all reasonable expenses (including investigation and appraisal expenses, attorneys' fees and other costs) payable or incurred by Lessor in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of any of Lessor's rights under this Agreement or any related agreement, or in respect of the repossession of the Aircraft pursuant to Clause 13.2. 17.9.2 Each party shall bear all other expenses (including legal, professional, and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred or payable by such party in connection with the negotiation, preparation, and execution of this Agreement and/or the other documents contemplated hereby. 17.9.3 All expenses payable pursuant to Clause 17.9.1 will be paid in the currency in which they are incurred by Lessor.

Lessee and Lessor agree that a final non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Clause 17.12.2 shall affect the right of any Person to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of any other party to bring any action or proceeding against Lessee or Lessor, or their respective properties in the courts of other jurisdictions. LESSEE AND LESSOR HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTY, ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LEASE. 17.12.3 Lessee agrees that any final non-appealable judgment or order of a Federal or State court located in the State of New York in connection with this Agreement and the other Lessee Documents is conclusive and binding on it and may be enforced against it in the courts of any other jurisdiction. 17.12.4 Lessee irrevocably and unconditionally: (1) agrees that if Lessor brings legal proceedings against it or its assets in relation to this Agreement and the other Lessee Documents, no immunity from such legal proceedings (which will be deemed to PAGE 65

All documents delivered to Lessor pursuant to this Agreement will be in English, or will be accompanied by a certified English translation. If there is any inconsistency between the English version of this Agreement and any version in any other language, the English version will prevail. 17.17 MODIFICATION No modification, change, waiver or amendment to this Agreement or any related letter agreements shall be deemed to be made unless in writing signed by the party to be charged.

LIBOR as quoted to Lessor two banking days prior to June 22, 2009) is **Material Redacted**% per annum. To the extent that the Applicable LIBOR is higher or lower than **Material Redacted**% per annum, the

Lessor shall either pay to APB the full cost of labor and equipment or reimburse Lessee for same upon presentation to Lessor of the actual invoice. The blended winglets shall remain on the Aircraft at Redelivery." 3.4. ENGINE DERATE: Notwithstanding any other provision of the Lease, Lessor consents to Lessee's decreasing the Engine take-off thrust rating from 24,000lbs. to 22,000lbs. after installation of the blended winglets subject to receipt by Lessor of prior written confirmation (in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor acting reasonably) from the Engine Manufacturer that returning the Engine take-off thrust rating to 24,000lbs. will not result in any cost and, further, the parties agree that Schedule 4 to the Lease is hereby amended by adding the following as paragraph 3.6 thereof: "The take-off thrust rating of the Engines shall be not less than 24,000lbs at Redelivery". 3.5.

In the event that any such Law requires alteration of the Aircraft, Lessee shall comply therewith at its sole expense and shall maintain the same in proper condition for operation under such Laws. Lessee agrees not to operate the Aircraft, or permit the Aircraft to be operated during the Term, (i) unless the Aircraft is covered by insurance as required by the provisions hereof, or (ii) contrary to the terms of such insurance. Lessee also agrees not to operate 21
or locate the Aircraft or suffer or permit the Aircraft to be operated or located during the Term in (A) any area excluded from coverage by any insurance policy issued pursuant to the requirements of this Lease, (B) any location that is prohibited or not permitted under: (i) any Law or government regulation applicable to the Aircraft or to Lessee; or (ii) any requirement of a Government Entity of the Country of Registration; or (iii) any requirement of a Government entity of the country in which such location is situated. Lessee will not be deemed in non-compliance with the obligations set forth in the immediately preceding sentence to the extent such non-compliance occurs when Lessee has been deprived of possession of the Aircraft by a breach of the Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment under Section 20(f). Lessee shall comply with the Law for the time being in force in any country or jurisdiction to, from, in or over which the Aircraft is flown. Lessee shall use the Aircraft solely in commercial operations for which Lessee is duly authorized by applicable Law and shall not use or permit the Aircraft to be used for any purpose for which the Aircraft is not designed or reasonably suitable. Lessee shall not knowingly use the Aircraft for the carriage of: (A) whole animals living or dead except pets and food products unless all of the rules and regulations prescribed by the International Air Transport Association ("IATA") as in effect from time to time for such carriage, to the extent the same exist and are applicable to the particular form of carriage, are followed, (B) goods characterized as dangerous goods by the regulations of IATA unless all of the rules and regulations prescribed by IATA as in effect from time to time for such carriage, to the extent the same exist and are applicable to the particular form of carriage, are followed or (C) any other goods, materials or items of cargo which could reasonably be expected to cause damage to the Aircraft and which would not be adequately covered by the insurance required by or obtained pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Lessee shall not at any time during the Term do or permit to be done anything which may expose the Aircraft or any part thereof to penalty, forfeiture, seizure, arrest, impounding, detention, confiscation, taking in execution, attachment, appropriation or destruction nor abandon the Aircraft or any part thereof and, if any such penalty, forfeiture, seizure, arrest, impounding, detention, confiscation, taking in execution, attachment or appropriation shall occur, Lessee shall give Lessor notice thereof and shall endeavor to procure the immediate release therefrom of the Aircraft or the relevant part thereof as the case may be.

Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall: (i) perform all mandatory service, inspections, repair, maintenance, overhaul and testing, (A) as may be required under DAC rules and regulations applicable to the Aircraft and in compliance with the Maintenance Program, (B) in the same manner and with the same care as shall be the case with similar aircraft and engines owned by or operated by Lessee without discrimination and (C) so as to keep the Aircraft in as good operating condition as when delivered to Lessee, ordinary wear and tear excepted; (ii) keep the Aircraft in such condition as is necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times under DAC regulations and any other applicable Law; (iii) maintain, as accurate, complete, current, and in the English language, all records, logs and other materials required by, and in a manner acceptable to, the DAC and any other Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Aircraft and (iv) permit Lessor or any authorized representative 22
of Lessor to examine such records at any reasonable time and upon prior written notice (as provided in Section 7). (e) Registration. During the Term Lessee shall at its expense keep the Aircraft at all times registered under the applicable Laws of the Country of Registration or such other country approved by Lessor in the name of Owner as owner and Lessor as lessor of the Aircraft or, using its best efforts, in the name of such Person as Lessor may reasonably designate, including, without limitation any successor lessor under this Lease. During such time as the Aircraft is registered in the Country of Registration, the certificate of registration shall register the Aircraft in the name of Owner and include such information concerning Owner and Lessor as permitted by applicable Law in the Country of Registration. (f) Insignia. Upon delivery of the Aircraft, Lessee agrees to place the Lease Identification as set forth in Exhibit C in the cockpit in a prominent location and to place the Lease Identification on each Engine.

Lessee shall permit Lessor or its designee on three (3) days' prior written notice to visit and inspect the Aircraft, its condition, use and operation and the records maintained in connection therewith. In conducting any such visit or inspection as contemplated herein, Lessor shall not interfere with Lessee's operation or require Lessee to open panels of the Aircraft which are not open under an inspection then being conducted by Lessee. Lessor shall have no duty to make any such inspection and shall not incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making any such inspection. Lessor's failure to object to any condition or procedure observed or observable in the course of an inspection hereunder shall not be deemed to waive or modify any of the terms of this Lease with respect to such condition or procedure. Section 8. Covenants of Lessee. Lessee covenants and agrees that: (a) Maintenance of Corporate Existence. Except as provided in Section 8(d) below, until the Return Occasion, Lessee will preserve and maintain its corporate existence and such of its rights, privileges, licenses and franchises in any jurisdiction where failure to obtain such licensing or qualification would have a material adverse effect upon Lessee. (b) Maintenance of Status. Lessee is, and shall remain so long as it shall be Lessee under this Lease, duly qualified to operate the Aircraft under applicable Law. (c) Payment of Taxes. Lessee will pay or cause to be paid all Taxes and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it, or upon its income or profits, or upon any property belonging to it, prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto and prior to the date on which any lawful claim, if not paid, would become a Lien upon any of the material property of Lessee, except to the extent the same are being contested by Lessee in good faith by appropriate proceedings.. (d) Consolidation, Merger, Etc. Without the prior written consent of Lessor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), Lessee shall not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its assets as an entirety to any other Person.

Lessee further undertakes to obtain or effect any new or additional governmental consents, licenses, authorizations, approvals, declarations, filings or registrations as may become necessary for the performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease or any other document or instrument contemplated hereby. (h) Registration, Certification and Filing. Lessee undertakes to register the Aircraft with the DAC, to secure a valid and effective provisional certificate of airworthiness for operation in the Country of Registration within seven (7) days of the Delivery Date and to provide to the Lessor a copy of the provisional certificate(s) of registration issued by the DAC relating to the Aircraft, reflecting the Owner as the owner and Lessor as lessor of the Aircraft to the extent permitted by applicable Law in the Country of Registration, and a copy of the certificate of airworthiness issued by the DAC relating to the Aircraft, each certified by a duly authorized officer of Lessee and in a form satisfactory to the Lessor so as to enable counsel to the Lessee to provide an opinion that (A) the Aircraft has been duly registered with the DAC and that the Head Lease, the Lease, the Lease Supplement, and any other documents evidencing title necessary or advisable to be filed have been duly filed for recordation with the relevant Governmental Entities, (B) or such other action with respect to, this Lease as may be required to make a public record of the respective interests of Lessor and Lessee in the Aircraft and (C) such other matters as Lessor may reasonably request and substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto. Lessee shall obtain the definitive certificate of airworthiness in replacement of the provisional certificate as soon as possible after the Delivery Date and shall promptly provide to Lessor a copy thereof, certified by a duly authorized officer of Lessee. Lessee shall timely renew the provisional certificate(s) of registration as required by the DAC during the Term hereof. (i) Suspension, Cessation, Etc. Lessee shall not at any time during the Term (i) voluntarily suspend its certificated operations; or (ii) voluntarily or involuntarily permit to be revoked, canceled or otherwise terminated all or substantially all of the franchises, concessions, permits, rights or privileges required for the conduct of business and operations of Lessee or the free and continued use and exercise thereof.

Section 9. Replacement of Parts; Alterations, Modifications and Additions. (a) Replacement of Parts Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall promptly replace all Parts which, from time to time, may become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever. In addition, in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing during the Term, Lessee may at its own cost and expense cause to be removed any Parts, whether or not worn out, destroyed, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use, provided that Lessee shall replace at its own cost and expense such Parts as promptly as practicable. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens permitted by Section 14 hereof, shall be in at least the same modification status and service bulletin accomplishment status, shall be fully interchangeable as to form, fit and function, shall have been overhauled, repaired and inspected by an agency acceptable to the DAC and shall be in as good an operating condition as, and have a utility at least equal to and a value and remaining warranty reasonably approximating, the Parts replaced (assuming such replaced parts were in the condition and repair in which they were required to be maintained by the terms hereof). All historical records relating to such Parts shall be maintained by Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, the right of Lessee to utilize an agency acceptable to the DAC shall not be construed as modifying Lessee's obligations under Section 16 and Exhibit E with respect to return of the Aircraft in accordance with the standards and requirements of the DAC as therein provided. All Parts owned by Owner or Lessor which are at any time removed from the Aircraft shall remain the property of Owner or Lessor, as the case may be, and subject to this Lease, 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 Aircraft and which meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified above. Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft as above provided, (i) title to the removed part shall thereupon vest in Lessee, free and clear of all rights of Owner and Lessor and of Lessor's Liens, (ii) title to such replacement part shall thereupon vest solely in Owner and (iii) such replacement part shall become subject to this Lease and be deemed a Part for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Part which it has replaced. (b) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. Lessee, at its own expense, shall make such alterations and modifications and additions to the Aircraft as may be required from time to time to meet the applicable standards of the DAC or to comply with any Law, rule, directive, mandatory bulletin, regulation or order of any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Aircraft or of the manufacturer of the Aircraft, Engines or Parts. Lessee's records shall document the method and date of compliance with FAA requirements to the extent required for certification by the FAA under Part 129 (with no material variance, extension, carry-overs or deferrals). In addition, Lessee, at its own expense, may from time to time make alterations and modifications in and additions to the Aircraft, provided no such alteration, modification or addition materially diminishes the remaining warranty, value or utility, or impairs the condition or airworthiness, of the Aircraft. Title to all Parts (other than leased Parts) incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Aircraft as the result of such alteration, modification or addition shall vest immediately in Lessor and become subject to this Lease, without the necessity for any further act of transfer, document or notice. In no event shall Lessor bear any liability or cost for any alteration, modification or addition to, or for any grounding or suspension of certification of, the 26
Aircraft, or for any loss of revenue arising therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing, Lessee may 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 to the Aircraft or any Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder 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 the Aircraft or such Engine pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and (iii) such Part can be removed from the Aircraft or such Engine without impairing or materially diminishing the value, utility, condition or airworthiness required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease that the Aircraft or such Engine would have had at such time had such Parts not been installed and such removal not occurred. Upon the removal by Lessee of any Part as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, title thereto shall, without further act, vest in Lessee and such Part shall no longer be deemed part of the Aircraft or such Engine from which it was removed. Lessee shall make no material alterations, modifications or additions to the Aircraft (such as removal of galleys, lavatories, major avionics equipment or the like) that would adversely affect the marketability of the Aircraft without Lessor's prior written consent. If Lessor grants such consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, title to such removed Parts shall remain with Owner and Lessor may request Lessee to reinstall such Parts prior to termination of this Lease, provided Lessor shall be responsible for the reasonable costs to store such Parts pending such re-installation. If Lessor requests Lessee to reinstall such Parts, title to the Parts removed shall vest in Lessee. All costs associated with such removal and reinstallation shall be borne by Lessee. In addition to the foregoing, Lessee will not make any alterations, modifications or additions to the Aircraft or any Part that may adversely affect its ability to comply with Year 2000 Compliance (as defined in Section 5(a) hereof) in relation to the Aircraft or any Part. 27
Section 10. Tax Indemnity. (a) General Tax Indemnity Lessee agrees for the benefit of each Indemnitee that all payments by Lessee in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Lease shall be free of all withholdings or deductions of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, withholding taxes, monetary transfer fees, or similar taxes and charges), and in the event any withholding or deduction is required (other than a withholding or deduction in respect of Taxes for which Lessee is not responsible to indemnify any Indemnitee pursuant to Section 10(b) hereof), Lessee shall pay the same together with such additional amount as is required so that each such payment shall be, under any circumstances and in any event, after any such withholding or deduction, in the amount as set forth or referred to in this Lease. Lessee agrees for the benefit of each Indemnitee to pay and, on written demand, to indemnify and hold each Indemnitee (which term as used in this Section 10 shall include each Indemnitee, their respective affiliates, agents, employees, directors, successors and assigns, and any transferee of an Indemnitee with respect to any interest in the Aircraft) harmless from, all license and registration fees, duties, imposts, deductions, charges and, without limitation, all Taxes, howsoever levied or imposed, whether levied or imposed upon or asserted against any Indemnitee, Lessee, the Lease, the Aircraft, or any part thereof or interest therein, or otherwise by any Federal, state or local government, or instrumentality thereof, or other taxing authority in the United States of America ("U.S. Taxing Authority") or by any government other than that of the United States of America or any taxing authority or governmental subdivision or instrumentality of any other country or of a territory or possession of the United States of America or by any international taxing authority ("Foreign Taxing Authority"), upon or with respect to, based upon or measured by: (i) the Aircraft, or any part thereof, or interest therein, (ii) the exportation, importation, ownership, delivery, non-delivery, warehousing, removal, leasing, exchange, acceptance, assigning, possession, repossession, condition, recording, use, operation, settlement of any insurance claim, sale, subleasing, rental, retirement, imposition of any Lien, abandonment, registration, preparation, installation, modification, repair, maintenance, replacement, transportation, storage, transfer of title, return or other disposition of the Aircraft or any part thereof or interest therein, (iii) the rentals, receipts or earnings arising from any one or more of the items or acts described in clause (i) or (ii) above (including, without limitation, the Rent), (iv) upon or with respect to this Lease, or (v) otherwise with respect to or in connection with the transactions contemplated and permitted by the Lease; and any documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses fairly attributable to any of the foregoing incurred by any Indemnitee. (b) Exclusions. Except as provided in subsections (c), (d) and (e) below, there shall be excluded from the indemnity provided in Section 10(a) the following: (i) Taxes upon or with respect to the gross or net income, capital gains or 28
capital or net worth of any Indemnitee (including, without limitation, any such Taxes which are minimum or alternative minimum Taxes, Taxes on or measured by items of tax preference and franchise Taxes levied in lieu of income taxes, but excluding, without limitation, any Taxes in the nature of sales, rental, use, value-added, license, withholding or property taxes) ("Income Taxes") which are imposed by any U.S. Taxing Authority; (ii) Income Taxes imposed by any Foreign Taxing Authority, but excluding any such Income Taxes imposed by a Foreign Taxing Authority to the extent that such Income Taxes result from the location or use of the Aircraft or any part thereof in such taxing jurisdiction or other activities of Lessee or any Person that obtains from Lessee possession or control or the right to use the Aircraft or any part thereof (an "Aircraft User"); (iii) Taxes imposed as a result of any Lessor Lien or (A) a voluntary sale, transfer of title, mortgaging, pledging, financing, voluntary transfer or other voluntary disposition by an Indemnitee of the Aircraft or part thereof or interest therein, or any interest in the Rent or part thereof or any interest in this Lease or part thereof, unless such sale, transfer, mortgage, pledge or disposition occurs by reason of the exercise of an Indemnitee's remedies under this Lease upon an Event of Default, or (B) any involuntary transfer or disposition of any of the foregoing interests in connection with any bankruptcy, foreclosure or similar proceeding with respect to any Indemnitee unless such transfer or disposition occurs by reason of an Event of Default; (iv) Taxes for any taxable period or portion thereof, relating to events occurring prior to the Delivery Date or after the expiration of the Term of the Lease (and any renewal term) and the redelivery of the Aircraft in accordance with the Lease, except to the extent that any such Taxes are imposed in connection with remedies exercised by Lessor following an Event of Default; (v) Taxes imposed by any Governmental Entity or international taxing authority in any jurisdiction which would not have been imposed but for some connection of any Indemnitee with such jurisdiction other than a connection arising by reason of, relating to or attributable to Lessee, any Aircraft User, this Lease, any sublease, the operation by Lessee, any sublessee or any Aircraft User of the Aircraft, the location of the Aircraft or arising pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby in such jurisdiction, except that the exclusion contained in this clause (vi) shall not apply to the extent that such Taxes are imposed in connection with Lessor's exercise of remedies following an Event of Default; (vi) Taxes imposed on or with respect to a successor or assignee of an Indemnitee to the extent such Taxes exceed the amount of Taxes that would have been imposed on or with respect to such Indemnitee had such succession or assignment not occurred, provided, however, that the exclusion contained in this clause (iv) shall not apply to any successor or assignee if such succession or assignment shall have occurred at any time in connection with Lessor's exercise of remedies after the occurrence of an Event of Default; (vii) Taxes and any fines, penalties, or additions thereto to the extent the same would not have been incurred but for the failure of Lessor, Owner, GECAS or any other Person other than Lessee to make any filing or election required by it to be made, provided that this exclusion shall not apply if the failure to file or make the election results from the failure of the Lessee to notify the Lessor, Owner, or GECAS of such requirement (unless the Lessor, Owner, or GECAS is otherwise aware of such requirement). 29
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Income Taxes resulting directly or indirectly (whether by inclusion of an item in gross income, disallowance of a deduction or credit, or otherwise) from any payment on or after the Delivery Date by any supplier in satisfaction of a claim against such supplier with respect to the Aircraft or any part thereof and inclusions in income in any taxable year of any amounts relating to improvements, alterations, modifications, or additions by or on behalf of Lessee of the Aircraft, any Engine or any part thereof (other than improvements, alterations, modifications or additions required by this Lease) or any substitution or replacement of any engine, or any part thereof, shall not be excluded from the indemnity provided in Section 10(a). (c) FSC Indemnity. Owner has assumed that United States income tax benefits, as provided in sections 921 et seq of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (i.e. that United States income taxation of the net income or gain from the sale or lease of the Aircraft will be limited in each calendar year to taxation on only seventy per cent (70%) of such net income or gain (the "FSC Benefits")) will be available to Owner and the other Indemnitees. Accordingly, in order to support Owner entitlement to the FSC Benefits, Lessee covenants that: (i) in each calendar year during the Term, the Aircraft will be located outside the United States (used in this Section 10(c)to include the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) more than fifty per cent (50%) of the time or more than fifty per cent (50%) of the miles traversed in the use of the Aircraft will be traversed outside the United States (regarding for this purpose any flight between two points in the United States without an intervening stop in a foreign jurisdiction of at least 12 hours as being entirely within the United States); (ii) except as required by applicable Law (including compliance with any AD) and except for the Modifications as defined in Letter Agreement No. 1 to which Lessor expressly consents, it will not (A) undertake any alterations, modifications or additions to the Aircraft or any Part without the prior written consent of Lessor (x) involving a modification, re-manufacturing or alteration of the Aircraft, which modification, re-manufacturing or alteration is of a permanent nature or (y) which could not be removed from the Aircraft without material damage to the Aircraft or (z) which together with prior related and future related expected alterations, modifications or additions would involve a cost (including labor, overhead, engineering, supplies, materials and third-party costs) in excess of **Material Redacted**, or (B) undertake any replacement of any Engine that involves Owner's relinquishment of title thereto and does not arise from a Casualty Occurrence; and (iii) after delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee pursuant to this Agreement, the first flight of the Aircraft shall occur as soon as practicable but in any event within 24 hours of the Delivery Date save for any reasonable delays beyond 24 hours due to (i) adverse weather conditions or (ii) Lessee crew staffing restrictions, or (iii) any other cause which is beyond the reasonable control of Lessee, provided in all cases that Lessee shall work diligently to promptly remedy any such delay to the first flight. The first flight shall be a non-revenue producing flight from the Delivery Location to a location outside the United States. After arrival at such location outside the United States, the Aircraft will not begin any return flight to the United States prior to the expiration of 12 hours after its arrival at such location outside the United States. In addition, between the time of delivery to Lessee and such first flight, Lessee shall make no use of the 30
Aircraft except for such fuelling, loading and provisioning required in connection with such first flight. Lessor acknowledges that the covenants contained in Section 10(c)(i), (ii) and (iii) are given by Lessee solely for the purpose of the indemnification requirements in Section 10 (d) and shall not prevent or restrict Lessee from taking any action otherwise permitted under this Agreement. Lessee will make available to Lessor any records relating to the use and location of the Aircraft that Lessor may reasonably request, in order to fulfill Lessor's or any Indemnitee's tax reporting, filing, audit or litigation requirements, and will otherwise reasonably cooperate with any reasonable requests of Lessor with respect to compliance with requirements for the FSC Benefits; provided, that any such cooperation shall not result in costs in excess of those which Lessee would have incurred in the absence of such cooperation nor result in any additional obligation of Lessee nor adversely affect Lessee's rights hereunder. Except as expressly set forth in Section 10(c) (i), (ii) and (iii), there are no other events intended to be covered by the indemnification set forth in Section 10 (d). (d) FSC Benefits (i) Lessor's remedy for the breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 10(c)(i), (ii) and (iii), if such breach shall directly result in a loss of FSC Benefits, shall be the right to receive the indemnity payments specified in this Section 10 (d) from Lessee. Any such indemnity payments will be due within 30 days after Lessee's receipt of a written request from Lessor certifying that there has been a loss of FSC Benefits describing in reasonable detail the circumstances of such loss and that such loss is a direct result of the breach by Lessee of a covenant contained in Section 10 (c) hereof. (ii) Owner, GECAS and Lessor acknowledge and agree that Lessee's indemnity obligation for an Indemnitee's entitlement to the FSC Benefits shall be limited in amount with respect to any calendar year, subject to Section 10(e), to the lesser of (x) the amount of FSC Benefits lost or disallowed for such calendar year which are a direct result of a breach of the covenants set forth in Section 10(c)(i), (ii) or (iii) and (y) the amount set forth as the FSC Indemnity Maximum Amounts in Exhibit C plus in either case the amount of any interest, penalties and additions to tax payable by Owner or the relevant Indemnitee as a result of the loss or disallowance of the FSC Benefits, but not including any interest, penalties or additions to tax resulting solely from acts or omissions of Lessor, Owner, GECAS, or any Person other than Lessee. For the avoidance of doubt, if the FSC Benefits are lost or disallowed for any calendar year, the maximum amount which Lessee shall pay to Lessor with respect to such calendar year, subject to Section 10(e), is the amount for such calendar year as set forth as the FSC Indemnity Maximum Amounts in Exhibit C plus the amount of any interest, penalties, and additions to tax payable by Owner or the relevant Indemnitee as a direct result of such loss or disallowance (but not as a result solely of acts or omissions of Lessor, Owner, GECAS, or any Person other than Lessee) and if such FSC Benefits are determined to be lost or disallowed with respect to a subsequent sale of the Aircraft after any termination of the Lease (irrespective of whether the Term of the Lease is extended pursuant to Section 3(g)) as a direct result of Lessee's breach of its covenants set forth in Section 10(c)(ii) or (iii), Lessee's indemnity payment shall be limited to the lesser of the actual amount of FSC Benefits lost or disallowed which arise directly as a result of any such breach and the amount set forth as the FSC Indemnity Maximum Amounts in Exhibit C 31
with respect to the Residual Period (as enumerated in Exhibit C), plus the amounts set forth as the FSC Indemnity Maximum Amounts in Exhibit C for any calendar years which have not elapsed at the time the Lease is terminated, plus any interest, penalties and additions to tax but not including any penalties or additions resulting principally from any act or omission of Lessor, Owner, GECAS or any other Person other than Lessee that is not in turn attributable to an act or omission of Lessee. For avoidance of doubt, the loss or disallowance of any FSC Benefits resulting solely from any act or omission of Lessor, Owner, GECAS, or any Person other an Lessee and not directly the result of a breach by Lessee of the covenants set forth in Sections 10(c)(i),(ii) or (iii) or arising for any reason other than a breach by Lessee of its covenants set forth in Section 10(c) shall not be deemed to be included in the indemnities provided in this Section 10. (iii) If the Aircraft is leased after any termination of this Agreement, Lessee's indemnity obligation, subject to Section 10(e), with respect to a loss or disallowance of FSC Benefits as a result of Lessee's breach of its covenants set forth in Section 10(c)(ii) or (iii) will be (in addition to any applicable interest, penalties or additions to tax) the actual amount of FSC Benefits lost or disallowed, as a direct result of such breach, for any calendar year during any subsequent lease of the Aircraft for such calendar year. (e) After Tax Basis of Payments. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10 to the contrary (including, without limitation, subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of Section 10(b) above), Lessee further agrees that, with respect to any payment or indemnity under this Section 10, such payment or indemnity shall include any amount necessary to hold the recipient of the payment or indemnity harmless on an after-tax basis from all Taxes required to be paid by such recipient with respect to such payment or indemnity to any U.S. Taxing Authority or any Foreign Taxing Authority, taking into account any reductions in such recipient's taxes by reason of any deductions, credits, or other allowances in respect of the payment or accrual of the amount indemnified against. Any subsequent reduction in such recipient's deductions, credits, or other allowances in respect of the payment or accrual of the amount indemnified against shall be treated as a Tax that is indemnifiable under this Section without regard to the exclusions set forth in Section 10(b) above. (f) Payments. The Lessee shall pay all Taxes for which it assumes liability hereunder when such Taxes are due. If a claim is made against any Indemnitee for any such Taxes, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Lessee provided, however, the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the Lessee's obligations hereunder to any Indemnitee unless Lessee's rights to contest such Taxes are materially prejudiced by such failure. Any amount payable as an indemnity to any Indemnitee or any amount payable to Lessee pursuant to this Section 10 is to be paid to such party directly, in immediately available funds, by bank wire transfer at such bank or to such account as specified by the payee in written directions to the payor, or, if such directions shall not have been given, by check of the payor payable to the order of the payee and mailed to the payee by certified mail, postage prepaid at its address as set forth in this Lease, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee or Lessee, as the case may be, but in no event more than ten (10) days prior to the due date thereof. In the event Lessee fails to make any such payment following a request by an Indemnitee and such Indemnitee makes a tax payment with respect to any such Taxes (other than with funds advanced to such Indemnitee on an interest-free basis by Lessee pursuant to this Section 10), Lessee shall pay to the Indemnitee interest on the amount of such payment at the Interest Rate set forth in Exhibit C from the date of such 32
Indemnitee's payment to the relevant taxing authority to the date of such payment by Lessee to the Indemnitee hereunder. In the event an amount is payable to Lessee under this Section 10, the Indemnitee owing such amount shall pay interest on such amount at the Interest Rate set forth in Exhibit C from the date of receipt by such Indemnitee of any amount giving rise to such obligation to pay Lessee until the date of payment to Lessee. (g) Contests. If requested by Lessee in writing within forty-five (45) days after its receipt of notice pursuant to this Section 10 of a claim against an Indemnitee, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and at the sole expense of Lessee (including, without limitation, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, reasonable legal and accounting and investigatory fees and disbursements, additions to tax because of underpayments of estimated Taxes, losses, penalties, and interest) such Indemnitee shall in good faith contest or permit Lessee, if desired by Lessee, to contest in the name of Lessee and/or the Indemnitee the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes by, in the reasonable discretion of such Indemnitee (or, where the Lessee is not permitted to conduct the contest in the name of the Indemnitee, in the sole discretion of such Indemnitee), (i) resisting payment thereof if practicable and legally permissible, (ii) not paying the same except under protest with funds advanced by Lessee on an interest-free basis, if protest is necessary and proper, and (iii) if payments are made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings; provided, however, that Lessee shall not be permitted to contest in the name of such Indemnitee if such contest involves Income Taxes imposed by a U.S. Taxing Authority, Income Taxes imposed by a Foreign Taxing Authority, or any Taxes imposed against such Indemnitee that are unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Lease, in which event such Indemnitee shall follow the direction of Lessee with respect to the method of pursuing that portion of any such contest that does not relate to Income Taxes unless with respect to issues that do not relate to the settlement of any portion of the contest involving Taxes for which indemnification is provided by this Section 10, such direction would, in the judgment of such Indemnitee, adversely affect in a material manner interests of such Indemnitee unrelated to the transactions hereby contemplated; provided further, however, that in no event shall an Indemnitee settle such portion of any claim for which Lessee has an indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section 10 without Lessee's written consent; provided further, however, that the Indemnitee shall not be required to undertake any contest or allow Lessee to contest in the name of such Indemnitee unless: (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) prior to the commencement of any contest undertaken by the Lessee or any contest undertaken by such Indemnitee with respect to which such Indemnitee is required to follow the direction of the Lessee with respect to the method of pursuing that portion of the contest that relates to the transactions hereby contemplated, the Lessee shall have delivered to such Indemnitee a written acknowledgment of its obligation to indemnify fully such Indemnitee to the extent that the contest is not successful, (C) Lessee shall have provided such Indemnitee with an opinion of legal counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee to the effect that a reasonable basis exists to contest such claim and, prior to the commencement of any appeal of an adverse administrative or judicial decision, with an opinion of such tax counsel to the effect that a reasonable basis exists to appeal such adverse administrative or judicial decision (which opinions shall be obtained at Lessee's sole 33
cost and expense), (D) if such contest is to be initiated by the payment of, and the claiming of a refund for, such Taxes, Lessee shall have advanced to such Indemnitee sufficient funds (on an interest-free basis) to make such payments, provided, however, that the Lessee shall indemnify such Indemnitee for any adverse tax consequences resulting from such advance, (E) such proceedings do not involve any material risk or danger of the sale, forfeiture, or loss of the Aircraft or any part thereof or the creation of any Lien (other than a Lien for taxes not yet due or being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and for the payment of which such reserves, if any, as are required to be provided under generally accepted accounting principles have been provided), and (F) in the event that the subject matter of the contest is of a continuing nature and has previously been resolved adversely pursuant to the contest provisions of this Section 10 and there has been a change in the law (including, without limitation, amendments to statutes or regulations, administrative rulings and court decisions) after such claim shall have been so previously resolved, such Indemnitee shall have received an opinion of independent tax counsel selected by such Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to Lessee, which opinion shall be obtained at Lessee's sole expense, to the effect that, as a result of such change, it is as likely as not that the position which such Indemnitee or Lessee, as the case may be, had asserted in such previous contest would prevail. If any Indemnitee shall obtain a refund of all or any part of such Taxes (including interest, penalties, or additions thereto) paid by Lessee, such Indemnitee shall pay Lessee, the amount of such refund reduced by the amount of any Taxes payable by such Indemnitee in respect of the receipt of such refund and increased by the amount of any savings realized by such Indemnitee in respect to any such Taxes by reason of deductions, credits, allocations or allowances in respect of such payment to Lessee; provided that such amount shall not be payable (x) before such time as Lessee shall have made all payments or indemnities then due to or on behalf of all Indemnitees under this Lease, (y) while an Event of Default is outstanding and continues unremedied, or (z) to the extent it exceeds the amount of all payments made by Lessee with respect to such Taxes. If in addition to such refund any Indemnitee shall receive an amount representing interest on the amount of such refund, Lessee shall be paid that proportion of such interest which is fairly attributable to Taxes paid by Lessee prior to the receipt of such refund; provided, however, that no amount shall be payable under this or the preceding sentence during any period in which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unremedied unless the Lease has terminated and Lessee has paid all amounts due Lessor hereunder. If any such refund or tax savings taken into account under this paragraph in Taxes is subsequently disallowed or canceled, such disallowance or cancellation shall be treated as a Tax that is indemnifiable under this Section 10 without regard to the exclusions set forth in Section 10(b). (h) Reports. In case any report or return is required to be made with respect to any Taxes which are an obligation of Lessee under this Section 10, Lessee, if lawfully able to do so and appropriate and in receipt of notice from Lessor in circumstances where Lessor, but not Lessee, could reasonably be expected to have knowledge of such obligation, will either make such report or return in such manner as will show the ownership of the Aircraft and the Engines in Owner and 34
send a copy of such report or return to Lessor or will notify Lessor of such requirement and if lawfully able to do so, will make such report or return in such manner as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lessor (and the Lessee shall hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits and reasonable costs arising out of any insufficiency or inaccuracy in any such return, statement, report or information). As soon as practicable after the beginning of each calendar year (but in no event later than February 28 of such year), Lessee shall provide Lessor with any information that Lessor shall reasonably request in writing (by January 31 of such year) and Lessee can reasonably compile to enable Lessor and Owner to allocate accurately for foreign, state and local tax purposes its rental income for the preceding calendar year. (i) Value Added Taxes. Each amount stated as payable by Lessee under this Lease is exclusive of Value Added Taxes (if any) and is accordingly to be construed as a reference to that amount plus any Value Added Taxes in respect of it. (j) Affiliated Group. In the event that the Indemnitee is a member of an Affiliated Group (within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code) which files a consolidated Federal income tax return, the term "Indemnitee" shall mean and include such Affiliated Group and all the members thereof. (k) Survival. All of the obligations of Lessee and each Indemnitee under this Section 10 with respect to the Aircraft and the Engines or any part thereof shall survive the assignment, expiration or other termination of this Lease. Such obligations are expressly undertaken by Lessee for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, Lessor and each other Indemnitee. Lessee's obligations under this Section 10 shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which Lessee may have against Lessor or any other person for any reason whatsoever. Lessee will pay to an Indemnitee, on demand, and an Indemnitee will pay to Lessee, if applicable, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Exhibit C hereto on any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Section 10 until the same shall be paid. All indemnities, obligations, adjustments and payments provided for in this Section 10 shall survive, and remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The obligations of Lessee in respect of all such indemnities, obligations, adjustments and payments are expressly made for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, an Indemnitee, without declaring this Lease to be in default or taking other action thereunder, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein. (l) Tax Treaty Elections. Lessor agrees to make, at Lessee's request, any available election under an applicable tax treaty to the extent that making such election would serve to reduce or eliminate any indemnification obligation of the Lessee under this Section 10, but only to the extent that such election can be made on a transaction-by-transaction basis and such election has no adverse consequences to Lessor or any Indemnitee. (m) Verification. At Lessee's request, the computation by any Indemnitee of any amount of Taxes or other amounts paid or payable by or to Lessee under this Section 10 shall be verified by such Indemnitee's independent public accountants. In the event the amount of Taxes or other amounts computed by such independent public accountants differs from the amounts paid or 35
payable by or to Lessee, appropriate adjustments shall be made between Lessee and such Indemnitee. Section 11. Casualty Occurrences. (a) Casualty Occurrence with Respect to the Airframe. Within fifteen (15) days after a Casualty Occurrence during the Term with respect to the Airframe and any Engine then installed thereon, Lessee shall give Lessor written notice of such occurrence. On or before one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the Casualty Occurrence, but in no event later than the date of receipt of insurance proceeds in respect of such Casualty Occurrence, Lessee shall pay to Lessor in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Casualty Value of the Aircraft computed as of the date of payment less an amount equal to the daily equivalent of Basic Rent (computed on the basis of a 360-day year) for each day during the period commencing with the day after payment of such Casualty Value and extending to, but excluding, the Basic Rent Payment Date immediately following payment of such Casualty Value, and (ii) all Supplemental Rent accrued or due and unpaid (other than Maintenance Payments which would have been payable by Lessee pursuant to Section 16(m) and amounts paid pursuant to clause (i) above), computed as of the date of payment less any Security Deposit then held by Lessor. Upon such payment (A) the obligation of Lessee to make further payments of Basic Rent hereunder shall terminate, (B) this Lease shall terminate with respect to the Aircraft and (C) Lessor will cause Owner to transfer to Lessee or its insurers (as directed by Lessee), without recourse or warranty, all of Owner's right, title and interest, if any, in and to the Airframe and Engines (if any) suffering the Casualty Occurrence, as well as all of Owner's right, title and interest in and to any Engine constituting part of the Aircraft but not installed thereon at the time of the Casualty Occurrence in each case free of any Lessor's Liens. (b) Casualty Occurrence with Respect to an Engine. Upon a Casualty Occurrence with respect to an Engine only, Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice thereof and shall, within ninety (90) days after such occurrence, convey to Owner, as replacement for the Engine suffering a Casualty Occurrence, title to a Replacement Engine. Each Replacement Engine shall be free of all Liens (except those Liens which are permitted by Section 14 hereof) and shall be in as good an operating condition and shall have a value and utility at least equal to, and shall have a substantially equivalent number of cycles remaining on its life limited parts as the Engine being replaced, assuming the Engine being replaced was in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to the Casualty Occurrence and shall be compatible with the remaining installed Engine. Upon full compliance by Lessee with the terms of this paragraph, Lessor will cause the Owner to transfer to Lessee all of Owner's right, title and interest in and to the Engine which suffered the Casualty Occurrence free of any Lessor's Liens. Prior to or at the time of any such conveyance, Lessee, at its own expense, will promptly (i) furnish Lessor with a full warranty bill of sale conveying title free and clear of all Liens except Lessor Liens, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, with respect to such Replacement Engine; (ii) cause a supplement hereto, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, subjecting such Replacement Engine to this Lease, to be duly executed by Lessee, and recorded pursuant to applicable Law; (iii) furnish Lessor with such evidence of title to such Replacement Engine and of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 12 hereof with respect to such Replacement Engine as Lessor may reasonably request; (iv) furnish Lessor with an opinion of Lessee's counsel (which counsel shall be 36
reasonably acceptable to Lessor) to the effect that title to such Replacement Engine has been duly conveyed to Owner as provided in clause (i) above, and that such Replacement Engine is duly leased hereunder; (v) furnish a certificate signed by a duly authorized financial officer or executive of Lessee certifying that, upon consummation of such replacement, no Default or Event of Default will exist hereunder; (vi) furnish Lessor with such documents as Lessor may reasonably request in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 11(b), in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor; and (vii) furnish such financing statement covering the Replacement Engine as may be reasonably requested by Lessor. Upon full compliance by Lessee with the terms of this Section 11(b), Lessor will cause Owner to transfer by bill of sale to Lessee "AS IS AND WHERE IS" and without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of Lessor's Liens) all of the right, title and interest in the Engine which suffered the Casualty Occurrence and which was originally leased to Lessee. For all purposes hereof, each such Replacement Engine shall be deemed part of the property leased hereunder, shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein and shall be deemed part of the same Aircraft as was the Engine replaced thereof. No Casualty Occurrence covered by this Section 11(b) shall result in any reduction in Rent. (c) Application of Proceeds and Payments. Any payments received at any time by Lessor or by Lessee from any insurer under any policy of insurance (other than liability insurance) or any other person (other than an insurer under insurance maintained by Lessor) shall be applied in the manner specified in Sections 12(d), 12(e) or 12(f) hereof as applicable. Subject to Section 11(f) hereof, any payments received at any time by Lessor or Lessee from any Governmental Entity or other Person with respect to a Casualty Occurrence will be applied as follows: (i) unless clause (ii) below is applicable, so much of such payments as shall not exceed the sum of accrued, unpaid Rent plus the Casualty Value required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Lease shall be paid to Lessor in reduction of Lessee's obligation to pay such unpaid Rent and Casualty Value if not already paid by Lessee, or, if already paid by Lessee (unless a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) shall be applied by Lessor to reimburse Lessee for its payment of such Casualty Value and the balance of such payment, if any, remaining thereafter (if such payment is received with respect to insurance other than liability insurance) (unless a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee; or (ii) if such payments are received as a result of a Casualty Occurrence with respect to an Engine which is being replaced pursuant to Section 11(b), unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee if Lessee shall have fully performed or, concurrently therewith will fully perform, the terms of Section 11(b) and of Section 15 hereof with respect to the Casualty Occurrence for which such payments are made. (d) Requisition for Use by Government with Respect to the Aircraft.. In the event of the requisition for use by a Governmental Entity of the Airframe or any Engine (other than a requisition constituting a Casualty Occurrence), all Lessee's obligations under this Lease with respect to the Airframe or Engine shall continue to the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred, except to the extent such obligations cannot be performed by Lessee as a consequence of such requisition. All payments received by Lessor or Lessee from the Governmental Entity for the 37
use of the Airframe or Engine prior to the time (if at all) such requisition becomes a Casualty Occurrence shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and all payments received by Lessor or Lessee from the Governmental Entity for the use of such item thereafter shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessor. (e) Other Dispositions. Any amounts not payable to or retainable by Lessee pursuant to this Section 11 or Section 12 hereof because a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing shall be held by Lessor and shall be paid over to Lessee when such Default or Event of Default shall cease to be continuing, except that if Lessor shall have theretofore declared this Lease to be in default pursuant to Section 18 hereof, such amounts shall be retained by Lessor and disposed of in accordance with the provisions thereof. (f) Application in Default. Any amount referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 11(c) which is otherwise payable to Lessee shall not be paid to Lessee, or, if it has been previously paid to Lessee, and not yet applied by Lessee as permitted or required hereunder, shall be delivered from Lessee to Lessor, if at the time of such payment a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. In such case, all such amounts shall be paid to and held by Lessor as security for the obligations of Lessee, or, at the option of Lessor, applied by Lessor toward payment of any of Lessee's obligations at the time due hereunder, as Lessor may elect. At such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or Default, all such amounts at the time held by Lessor in excess of the amount, if any, which Lessor has elected for application as provided above, shall be paid to Lessee. (g) ICAO Rules and Procedures. It is agreed that any investigation of an accident involving the Aircraft or a Casualty Occurrence will be carried out with the participation of Lessor and Lessee in accordance with the Rules and Procedures of the International Civil Aviation Organization ("ICAO") from time to time in effect. All necessary information required by ICAO, to the extent reasonably available to the Lessor, shall be promptly furnished by the Lessor. Section 12. Insurance. (a) Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance. Lessee shall carry and maintain in full force and effect, at its own expense, with Approved Insurers, airline public liability insurance (including, to the extent generally available in the insurance markets but not limited to, contractual liability, third party legal liability, passenger, baggage, cargo, mail and airline general liability, including premises hangar keepers and products liability) and property damage insurance with respect to the Aircraft of the type usual and customary by commercial scheduled passenger airline carriers similarly situated to Lessee and operating similar aircraft. Such policy shall include war and allied risks in accordance with standard market practice (currently "The Extended Coverage Endorsement - AVN 52C"). Such insurance shall be in an amount not less than the amount under "Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance" as set forth on Exhibit C hereto. Lessee shall not discriminate against the Aircraft in providing such insurance. (b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage. Lessee, at its own expense, shall maintain in full force and effect throughout the Term with Approved Insurers during the Term "all-risk" ground and flight aircraft hull insurance (which shall include, but not be limited to, vandalism, war risk and allied perils, hijacking, disappearance clause and coverage against strikes, riots, commotions or 38
labor disturbances, malicious acts or acts of sabotage and unlawful seizure (including confiscation, confiscation by the Country of Registration, arrest, nationalization, seizure, restraint, detention, appropriation, requisition or destruction thereat, by or under authority of any Governmental Entity), or wrongful exercise of control of the Aircraft in flight by a person on board the Aircraft acting without the consent of Lessee) covering the Aircraft, and "all-risk" coverage insurance with respect to Engines and Parts while not installed on the Aircraft or an aircraft, which in each case is at least as broad as coverage maintained by commericial scheduled passenger airlines similarly situated to Lessee and operating similar aircraft and engines as Lessee's fleet. Such insurance shall be for an amount not less than the Casualty Value for the Aircraft and shall incorporate a 50/50 clause with respect to "all-risk" hull and war risk coverage and shall be as further specified in Exhibit C. Such insurance may include provisions for deductibles in an amount usual and customary for commercial scheduled airline carriers similarly situated and operating similar aircraft provided that (i) the amount of such deductibles must be no greater than the lowest deductible amount applying to any similar aircraft in Lessor's fleet, and (ii) in no event shall the amount of such deductibles exceed the amount under "Deductible Amount" set forth on Exhibit C hereto. (c) Required Policy Designations and Provisions. Each and any policy of insurance obtained and maintained pursuant to this Section, and each and any policy obtained in substitution or replacement for any such policies, shall: (i) designate Owner as owner and Lessor as lessor of the aircraft covered thereby and designate Owner the sole loss payee in respect of the insurance covering the Aircraft required to be maintained by Lessee pursuant to Section 12(b), and shall designate Lessor, GECAS, and Owner and their respective named successors and assigns (and in respect of coverage specified in Section 12(a) hereof, their respective directors, officers, agents, shareholders, subsidiaries and employees), as additional named insureds (the "Additional Insureds") (and the policy shall be promptly amended upon the request of Lessor to add any additional named successors or assigns of Lessor, GECAS, or Owner) as their interests may appear (but without imposing upon the Additional Insureds, any obligation imposed upon the insured, including, without limitation, the liability to pay any premiums for, any such policies); (ii) expressly provide that, in respect of the interests of the Additional Insureds, in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of Lessee, and shall insure the Additional Insureds, regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by Lessee or any other party other, and provided the Person so protected has not caused, contributed to or knowingly condoned such action or inaction, other than with respect to an Additional Insured in connection with a breach or violation by such Additional Insured; (iii) provide that if there is a cancellation or material adverse alteration of the insurance, such cancellation or alteration shall not be effective as to the Additional Insureds for thirty (30) days (seven (7) days or such lesser period as from time to time may be applicable in the case of any war risks for allied perils coverage) after issuance to Lessor of written notice by telecopy or overnight courier, by such insurer or insurers of such prospective cancellation or change; (iv) include coverage for the territorial limits of any country (including its airspace) in which the Aircraft operates on a worldwide basis subject to such limitations and exclusions as Lessor may reasonably agree; (v) provide that, as against the Additional Insureds, the insurer waives any rights of set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction (except to the extent set forth in an insurance certificate which shall have been approved by Lessor), whether by attachment or otherwise, and agrees to waive rights of subrogation against the Additional Insureds, provided, however, that such waiver of subrogation need not extend to claims against third parties; (vi) provide that no amount due from the Lessee or any other Person to any insurer or broker shall be deducted from any amount payable to a third party under such insurance 39
policy; (vii) provide that in the event of any damage or loss, whether or not a Casualty Occurrence hereunder, and which results in a payment, such payment shall be payable directly to Lessor or its assignee as loss payees, for the account of all interests; provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, payments with respect to property damage loss to the Airframe or Engine not constituting a Casualty Occurrence, or any Part, in any amount not to exceed **Material Redacted** may be paid to Lessee to be applied for the repair or replacement necessitated by such property damage and Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing of any such payments in excess of the Damage Notification Threshold and the nature of the property damage giving rise to such payments; (viii) provide that none of the Additional Insureds shall be liable for any insurance premium; (ix) expressly exclude any fleet aggregate, ground aggregate or any other type of sublimit, limiting coverage to the Aircraft unless (A) Lessee, all other loss payees and all other insureds, other than Lessor, execute and deliver a subordination agreement, in form reasonably acceptable to Lessor, whereby such parties agree to subordinate their rights to the rights of Lessor or (B) Lessee obtains an excess policy of insurance which provides insurance coverage in an amount not less than the Casualty Value of the Aircraft for the express and exclusive benefit of Lessor or (C) any such aggregate or sublimit is set forth in an insurance certificate which shall have been approved by Lessor; and (x) be reinsured outside the Country of Registration with an Approved Insurer in the international reinsurance markets for an amount not less than 97.5% of the insured risk for each type of coverage required to be maintained hereunder and, to the extent of any reinsurance, include a cut-through provision permitting the Additional Insureds to file claims and to obtain payment directly from the reinsurers under the reinsurance policies. Each such policy shall be primary without right of contribution (except to the extent set forth in an insurance certificate which shall have been approved by Lessor), from any other insurance which may be carried by any of the Additional Insureds, and, with respect to liability coverage, shall expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured, provided that such policies shall not operate to increase the insurer's limit of liability and shall not operate to permit claims recoverable under the hull policy to be recoverable as liability claims. Lessee shall have the right to carry insurance in excess of the amounts required hereunder and the proceeds of such excess insurance shall be payable to Lessee; provided, however that no such excess insurance shall prejudice any insurance coverages required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder. Similarly, Lessor shall have the right to carry additional and separate insurance for its own benefit at its own expense, without, however, thereby limiting Lessee's obligations under this Section 12, provided that no such insurance maintained by Lessor shall prejudice any insurance coverage required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder or the recovery by Lessee thereunder. (d) Application of Insurance Proceeds for a Casualty Occurrence. It is agreed that insurance payments which arise from any policy of insurance carried by Lessee and received as the result of the occurrence of a Casualty Occurrence shall be applied as follows: (i) if such payments are received with respect to a Casualty Occurrence relating to the Airframe and Engines or engines installed on the Airframe, so much of such payments as shall not exceed the amounts due under Section 11(a) hereof shall be paid to Owner, and the balance to Lessee; and (ii) if such payments are received with respect to a Casualty Occurrence relating 40
to an Engine under circumstances contemplated by Section 11(b) hereof, such payment shall be adjusted with Lessee (provided that Lessee has not breached any warranty, declaration or condition contained in the applicable insurance policy) and paid over to Lessee, provided that Lessee shall have fully performed or, concurrently therewith, will fully perform the terms of Section 11(b) hereof. (e) Application of Insurance Proceeds for Other than a Casualty Occurrence. Subject to the proviso in Section 12(c)(vi) above, the insurance payments for any property damage loss to the Airframe or any Engine not constituting a Casualty Occurrence, or to any Part, will be applied in payment (or to reimburse Lessor/Lessee) for repairs or replacement property upon Lessor's receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that repairs or replacement have been effected in accordance with this Agreement. (f) Application in Default. Any amount referred to in Section 12(d)(i) or (ii) of Section 12(e) which is otherwise payable to Lessee shall not be paid to Lessee, or, if it has been previously paid to Lessee, and not yet applied by Lessee as permitted or required hereunder, shall be delivered by Lessee to Lessor, if at the time of such payment, a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. In either case, all such amounts shall be held by Lessor as security for the obligations of Lessee, or, at the option of Lessor, applied by Lessor toward payment of any of Lessee's obligations at the time due hereunder. At such time as there shall not be continuing any such Default or Event of Default, all such amounts at the time held by Lessor in excess of the amount, if any, which Lessor has elected for application as provided above, shall be paid to Lessee. (g) Certificates of Insurance. On or before the Delivery Date, and thereafter on each renewal by Lessee of the insurance required hereby, but not less often than annually, Lessee will furnish to Lessor one or more certificates (substantially in the form of Exhibits G and H hereto or such other form to which Lessor shall have agreed) each executed and delivered by an Approved Insurance Broker who is authorized by one or more Approved Insurers, appointed by Lessee, which together shall describe in reasonable detail insurance carried on the Aircraft and confirming the Approved Insurers' agreement to the specified insurance requirements of this Lease. Lessee will cause each such Approved Insurance Broker who is authorized by an Approved Insurer to agree to advise Lessor in writing at least thirty (30) days (seven (7) days or such lesser period as may from time to time be applicable in the case of any war risk and allied perils coverage) prior to the non-renewal, termination or cancellation by the underwriters for any reason (including, without limitation, failure to pay the premium therefor) of any such insurance or as soon as possible in respect of "non-renewal" or automatic termination for war risk. 41
Section 13. Indemnification. Lessee agrees to indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, demands, suits, judgments, causes of action, legal proceedings, whether civil or criminal, penalties, fines and other sanctions, and any attorneys' fees and other reasonable costs and expenses in connection herewith or therewith, including any of the foregoing arising or imposed with or without Lessor's fault or negligence (whether passive or active) or under the doctrine of strict liability (any and all of which are hereafter referred to as "Claims") which in any way may result from, pertain to or arise in any manner out of, or are in any manner related to (a) the Aircraft or this Lease, or the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Lessee hereunder, or (b) the condition, ownership, manufacture, purchase, delivery, non-delivery, lease, acceptance, rejection, possession, return, disposition or use, or operation of the Aircraft either in the air or on the ground, or (c) any defect in the Aircraft (whether or not discovered or discoverable by Lessee or Lessor) arising from the material or any articles used therein or from the design, testing, or use thereof or from any maintenance, service, repair, overhaul, or testing of the Aircraft, whether or not the Aircraft is in the possession of Lessee, and regardless of where the Aircraft may then be located, or (d) any transaction, approval, or document contemplated by this Lease or given or entered into in connection herewith; provided, however, that Lessee shall be subrogated to all rights and remedies which any Indemnitee may have against the Manufacturer of the Aircraft and its subcontractors as to any such Claims, but only to the extent that Lessee satisfies its indemnification obligation to such Indemnitee hereunder with respect to such Claims. In the event Lessee is required to indemnify any Indemnitee hereunder, Lessee shall pay to such Indemnitee an amount which, after deduction of all Taxes and like charges required to be paid by such Indemnitee in respect of such payment, is equal to the amount of the indemnification required. Lessee shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee for any attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in seeking indemnification from Lessee and relating to an alleged breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Lessee hereunder unless such Indemnitee prevails in the action seeking such indemnification. Lessee hereby waives, and releases each Indemnitee from, any Claims (whether existing now or hereafter arising) for or on account of or arising or in any way connected with injury to or death of personnel of Lessee or loss or damage to property of Lessee or the loss of use of any property which may result from or arise in any manner out of or in relation to the ownership, leasing, condition, use or operation of the Aircraft, either in the air or on the ground, of which may be caused by any defect in the Aircraft from the material or any article used therein or from the design or testing thereof, or use thereof, or from any maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing of the Aircraft regardless of when such defect may be discovered, whether or not the Aircraft is at the time in the possession of Lessee, and regardless of the location of the Aircraft at any such time excluding Claims resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee. The indemnities contained in this Section 13 shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the expiration or other termination of this Lease and are expressly made for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by each Indemnitee. 42
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13: Lessee shall not be obligated to make any payment by way of indemnity in respect of any Claims against an Indemnitee: (i) which result from or arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Affiliates or out of a breach of such Indemnitee's or its Affiliate's representations, warranties or covenants hereunder or under any documents, agreement or instrument delivered in connection herewith; or (ii) in respect to the Aircraft to extent that the same are attributable to acts or events which occur after the Aircraft has been redelivered to Lessor in accordance with Section 16 hereof and is no longer subject to this Lease unless any such act or event shall itself directly result from an act or omission of Lessee which occurred during the Term (provided, however, that to the extent an Indemnitee is indemnified by Lessee for Claims arising from acts or events which occur prior to the Delivery Date, such Indemnitee shall assign to Lessee any rights it may have against other Persons to recover for such Claims); or (iii) which represent Taxes which are excluded under Section 10(b); (iv) arising from the financing of the Aircraft or the voluntary or involuntary sale, transfer or other disposition (other than in connection with the exercise of an Indemnitee's remedies following an Event of Default or Casualty Occurrence) of the Aircraft or this Lease or any part thereof or interest therein, or the Rent or any interest therein, by any Person other than Lessee; (v) which would not have occurred but for the existence of a Lien (other than this Lease or a Lien arising by or through Lessee) which Lessee is not responsible for discharging under this Lease; and (vi) which constitute ordinary and usual operating or overhead expenses other than any such expense arising in connection with Lessor's exercise of remedies hereunder following an Event of Default. 43
Section 14. Liens. LESSEE SHALL NOT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY CREATE, INCUR, ASSUME OR SUFFER TO EXIST ANY LIEN ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY ENGINE, TITLE THERETO OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN, EXCEPT (a) THE RESPECTIVE RIGHTS OF LESSOR AND LESSEE AS HEREIN PROVIDED; (b) LESSOR'S LIENS WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY ENGINE; (c) LIENS FOR TAXES EITHER NOT YET DUE OR BEING CONTESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10 HEREOF AND SO LONG AS ADEQUATE RESERVES ARE MAINTAINED WITH RESPECT TO SUCH LIENS; AND (d) INCHOATE MATERIALMEN'S, MECHANICS', WORKMEN'S, REPAIRMEN'S, EMPLOYEES' OR OTHER LIKE LIENS ARISING IN THE ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS, WHICH EITHER ARE NOT DELINQUENT OR ARE BEING CONTESTED IN GOOD FAITH BY LESSEE, SO LONG AS THE AIRCRAFT OR SUCH ENGINE IS NOT IN DANGER OF BEING LOST, SOLD, CONFISCATED, FORFEITED OR SEIZED AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH LIEN. LESSEE SHALL PROMPTLY, AT ITS OWN EXPENSE, TAKE SUCH ACTION AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO DULY DISCHARGE ANY LIEN (EXCEPT FOR THE LIENS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSES (a) AND (b) OF THIS SECTION 14) IF THE SAME SHALL ARISE AT ANY TIME WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY ENGINE. Section 15. Perfection of Title and Further Assurances. If at any time subsequent to the initial recordation of title under this Lease, any filing or recording is reasonably necessary to protect the interests of Owner or Lessor, Lessee, at its own cost and expense and upon request by Lessor, shall cause this Lease, any financing statements with respect hereto, and any and all additional instruments which shall be executed pursuant to the terms hereof, to be kept, filed and recorded and to be reexecuted, refiled and re-recorded in the appropriate office or offices pursuant to applicable Laws, to perfect, protect and preserve the rights and interests of Lessor hereunder and in the Aircraft. At the reasonable request of Lessor, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor an opinion of counsel or other evidence satisfactory to Lessor of each such filing or refiling and recordation or re-recordation. Without limiting the foregoing, Lessee shall do or cause to be done, at Lessee's cost and expense, any and all acts and things which may be required under the terms of the Mortgage Convention to perfect and preserve the title of Owner and the interests of Owner and Lessor in the Aircraft within the jurisdiction of any signatory which has ratified the Mortgage Convention if such jurisdiction is in the territory in which Lessee may operate the Aircraft, as Lessor may reasonably request. Lessee shall also do or cause to be done, at its own expense, any and all acts and things which may be required under the terms of any other Law involving any jurisdiction in which Lessee may operate, or any and all acts and things which Lessor may reasonably request, to perfect and preserve Lessor's ownership rights regarding the Aircraft within any such jurisdiction. In addition, Lessee will promptly and duly execute and deliver to Lessor such further documents and assurances and take such further actions as it may from time to time reasonably request in order to more effectively carry out the intent and purpose of this Lease and to establish and protect the rights and remedies created or intended to be created in favor of Lessor hereunder, including without limitation, if reasonably requested by Lessor at the expense of Lessee, the 44
execution and delivery of supplements or amendments hereto in recordable form, subjecting to this Lease any Replacement Engine and the recording or filing of counterparts thereof, in accordance with the laws of any appropriate jurisdiction. Section 16. Return of Aircraft and Records. (a) Return. On the Expiration Date, Lessee, at its own expense, shall return the Aircraft to Lessor in the condition specified on Exhibit E hereto at the location specified as "Return Location" set forth on Exhibit C hereto, fully equipped with all required Parts and Engines, duly installed thereon, together with Aircraft Documents and records which are complete and acceptable to the DAC, by delivering the same to Lessor at such location. (b) Legal Status Upon Return. Upon the Return Occasion, the Aircraft shall be: (i) free and clear of all Liens, except Lessor's Liens; (ii) duly certified as an airworthy aircraft by the DAC with the current and valid airworthiness certificate installed on the Aircraft; (iii) equipped and in full airworthy condition required to allow the Aircraft to be operated in commercial transportation of passengers under applicable rules and regulations of the DAC and in full compliance with Part 129; (iv) duly registered under the applicable Law of the Country of Registration; (v) in full compliance with the Maintenance Program; (vi) in full compliance with all FAA Airworthiness Directives which by their terms require compliance on or before the ninety (90) days following the Expiration Date; and (vii) in compliance with the requirements of the FAA regulations found at Part 36, Appendix C, Stage 3, noise compliance, without waiver or performance restriction. (c) Engines. Lessee may return the Aircraft on the Return Occasion with an engine not owned by Lessor, so long as (i) such engine was not installed on the Aircraft solely for the purpose of reducing the number of hours or cycles (whichever is the more limiting factor) remaining until the next scheduled restriction in accordance with the Maintenance Program under which the Engines are maintained; (ii) such engine conforms to the requirements set forth in Section 11(b) hereof with respect to a Replacement Engine without regard to flight hours or cycles remaining on LLPs or time since heavy maintenance, except Lessor may in its discretion choose among the engines presented by Lessee as candidates for substitution; (iii) such engine shall conform to the return condition requirements set forth in Section 16(f) hereof; and (iv) Lessee, at its own expense and concurrently with such delivery, furnishes Lessor with a bill of sale, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, with respect to such engine and with evidence that Lessee is transferring full and unencumbered title to such engine (including, if requested, an opinion of Lessee's counsel to the effect of the opinion required by Section 11(b)(iv) hereof) and takes such other action as Lessor may reasonably request in order that title to such engine shall be duly and fully vested in Owner. Lessee's obligation to comply with the terms of this Section 16(c) shall be conditioned on Lessor's transferring, or causing to be transferred, to Lessee title to any Engine not installed on the Aircraft at the Return Occasion, without any representation, warranty or recourse of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, except a warranty that such Engine is free and clear of Liens, other than Liens which Lessee is required to discharge hereunder, or defects in title resulting from acts of Owner or Lessor. (d) Records. Upon the Return Occasion, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor all logs, manuals, and data and inspection, modification and overhaul records which are required to be maintained with respect to the Aircraft and Engines under the Maintenance Program and in 45
accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the DAC. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a copy of such portions of Lessee's Maintenance Program as are necessary to enable the subsequent operator of the Aircraft to bridge the maintenance of the Aircraft to its own maintenance program; provided, that Lessor agrees to maintain such information in strict confidence and to use such information only for the foregoing purpose, and, prior to providing such information to any other Person, Lessor shall obtain a written agreement to the same effect from such other Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessee. All such documents shall have been maintained in English, or be accompanied by a certified English translation. (e) Service Bulletin and Modification Kits. At or upon the return of the Aircraft pursuant to this Section 16, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor, at no cost to Lessor, all service bulletin kits furnished without charge by a manufacturer for installation on the Aircraft which have not been so installed together with appropriate instructions for installation. In the event such uninstalled kits were purchased or manufactured by Lessee for the Aircraft, then Lessor shall have a right to purchase such kits at Lessee's cost for a period of ninety (90) days after return. (f) Condition of Aircraft. Upon the Return Occasion applicable to the Aircraft, Lessee shall return the Aircraft to Lessor in such condition that the Aircraft shall comply with all of the conditions set forth on Exhibit E hereto. (g) Final Inspection. Upon the Return Occasion, Lessee shall make the Aircraft available to Lessor at Lessee's principal maintenance base or at the location at which the "C" check referred to below is being performed for detailed inspection, at Lessee's expense (provided, that Lessee shall not bear any costs or expenses associated with Lessor's representatives), in order to verify that the condition of the Aircraft complies with the requirements set forth above (such inspection being hereinafter referred to as the "Final Inspection"). The Final Inspection shall be conducted concurrently with the "C" Check to be performed immediately prior to the Return Occasion. Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days prior written notice of the commencement date of such "C" Check. The period allowed for the Final Inspection shall have such duration as to permit Lessor to verify Lessee's satisfaction of the requirements of Exhibit E and shall continue on consecutive days until all activity required above to be conducted during the Final Inspection has been concluded; provided, however, that Lessor shall use its best efforts to complete the Final Inspection contemporaneously with the completion of such "C" Check. To the extent that any portion of the Final Inspection extends beyond the Expiration Date, the Term shall be deemed to have been automatically extended, and the obligation to pay Rent hereunder continued on a daily basis until the Final Inspection shall have been concluded, provided that such Rent shall be payable only if (i) Lessor provided on a timely basis sufficient personnel to complete the Final Inspection in a timely manner and (ii) the cause of such extension is not directly attributable to Lessor or its personnel. All storage expenses attributable to any extension of the Term pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be payable by Lessee. (h) Aircraft Documentation. In order to enable Lessor to prepare for the Final Inspection of the Aircraft pursuant to Section 16(g) above, Lessee agrees to make available to Lessor at Lessee's principal maintenance base not later than ten (10) days prior to the commencement of such Final Inspection, the Aircraft Documents listed on Exhibit B hereto, together with such other documentation regarding the condition, use, maintenance, operation and history of the Aircraft during Lessee's possession as Lessor may reasonably request. 46
(i) Corrections and Subsequent Corrections. In the event that the Aircraft or any Engine fails upon the Return Occasion to conform to any return condition requirement imposed by this Lease and particularly Section 16(f) and (Exhibit E), Lessor may, without prejudice to the right of Lessee to claim that the Aircraft did comply with such return condition requirement, (i) continue the Lease in effect in the manner provided for in Section 16(g) above with regard to automatic extension until such time as the Aircraft is brought up to the condition required by Section 16(f) above or (ii) accept the return of the Aircraft and thereafter have any such nonconformance corrected, at such time as Lessor may deem appropriate but not to occur later than ninety (90) days following the return of the Aircraft, at commercial rates then charged by the Person selected by Lessor to perform such correction. Any direct expense incurred by Lessor for such correction shall become Supplemental Rent payable by Lessee within thirty (30) days following the submission of a written statement by Lessor to Lessee, identifying the items corrected and setting forth the expense of such correction. Lessee's obligations to pay such Supplemental Rent shall survive the passage of the Expiration Date or other termination of this Lease. (j) Additional Maintenance, Repair or Overhaul. Upon the Return Occasion and upon written request of Lessor made at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Expiration Date, Lessee shall (subject to the availability to Lessee of facilities and manpower) store and insure the Aircraft for a period of up to forty-five (45) days, and perform such additional maintenance, repair, or overhaul of the Aircraft as is requested by Lessor in the same manner and with the same care as used for similar aircraft and engines owned by Lessee, provided that Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for its documented costs, at Lessee's standard contract rate, for such storage, maintenance, repair, or overhaul. Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for its actual cost of insurance in connection with maintaining the Aircraft under Lessee's insurance coverage during the storage period. Such additional maintenance, repair or overhaul shall not extend this Lease. Maintenance requested by Lessor other than that specifically required by the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Lessee and paid for by Lessor at Lessee's standard contract rate for such maintenance as agreed to by Lessor. (k) Functional Check Flight. Immediately prior to the expiration of the Term, a qualified pilot and not more than two (2) technical representatives selected by Lessor, in conjunction with Lessee's flight crew, will accomplish a functional check flight of not more than two (2) hour's durations in accordance with Lessee's procedures and at Lessee's expense to demonstrate the airworthiness of the Aircraft and proper functioning of all systems and components; provided, Lessor shall be responsible for the charges of Lessor's technical representatives. At all times during such functional check flight Lessee's flight crew shall be in command of the Aircraft. Any discrepancy or malfunction detected of an airworthiness or operational nature by normal airline standards shall be corrected at Lessee's expense. To the extent possible, the functional check flight shall be combined with the return of the Aircraft under Section 16(a). (l) Technical Acceptance at Return. Provided that Lessor is reasonably satisfied that all of the conditions for return of the Aircraft set forth in this Lease have been satisfied (either through performance or through the payment of the amounts in lieu thereof specified in Exhibit E hereto), Lessor shall execute and deliver a Technical Acceptance Receipt substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H with appropriate changes to reflect the circumstances of redelivery of 47
the Aircraft. (m) Maintenance Payments at Redelivery. On the Return Occasion, Lessee shall make Maintenance Payments to Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 5 of Exhibit C, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified as the Payment Location in Exhibit C.

Events of Default Any one or more of the following occurrences or events shall constitute an Event of Default: (a) Lessee shall fail to make any payment of Rent to Lessor when due, in full and in the manner and at the place required under this Lease and such payment shall be overdue for a period of **Material Redacted** Business Days following written notice from Lessor; (b) Lessee shall fail to obtain and maintain any insurance required under the provisions of Section 12 hereof; or shall operate the Aircraft outside of the scope of the insurance coverage maintained with respect to the Aircraft; (c) Any representation or warranty made by Lessee herein or in any document or certificate furnished Lessor in connection herewith or therewith or pursuant hereto is incorrect at the time given in any material respect and, if capable of being cured, shall not have been remedied within **Material Redacted** days after notice thereof is given by Lessor to Lessee; (d) Lessee shall fail to timely comply with the provisions of Section 20(i) hereof; (e) Lessee shall fail to timely comply with its obligation under Section 3 hereof to accept delivery of the Aircraft when tendered by Lessor meeting the delivery conditions set forth in Exhibit A and such failure is not cured within **Material Redacted** Business Days; (f) Lessee shall fail to timely comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 14 hereof and such failure shall continue for a period of **Material Redacted** days after written notice thereof is given by Lessor to Lessee; (g) Lessee shall make or permit any unauthorized assignment or transfer of this Lease, or any interest therein, or of the right to possession of the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine; (h) Lessee shall fail to perform or observe any other covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it pursuant to this Lease and such failure shall continue for a period of **Material Redacted** days after written notice thereof is given by Lessor to Lessee (provided, however, that if such failure relates to a covenant, condition or agreement which is not material (as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion) and such failure results from circumstances beyond Lessee's reasonable control and Lessee demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessor that Lessee is diligently taking all commercially reasonable actions necessary to remedy such 48
failure, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder for as long as such failure remains not material (as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion) and outside of the control of Lessee and Lessee is so acting to remedy such failure); (i) **Material Redacted**; (j) Lessee consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of itself or of a substantial part of its property, or Lessee admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they come due, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or Lessee files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a voluntary petition seeking reorganization in a proceeding under any bankruptcy laws (as now or hereafter in effect), or an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against Lessee in any such proceeding, or Lessee by voluntary petition, answer or consent seeks relief under the provisions of any bankruptcy or other similar law providing for the reorganization or winding-up of corporations, or provides for an agreement, composition, extension or adjustment with its creditors; (k) An order, judgment or decree is entered by any court, with or without the consent of Lessee, appointing a receiver, trustee or liquidator for Lessee or of all or any substantial part of its property, or all or any substantial part of the property of Lessee is sequestered, and any such order, judgment or decree of appointment or sequestration remains in effect, undismissed, unstayed or unvacated for a period of forty-five (45) days after the date of entry thereof; (l) A petition against Lessee in a proceeding under the bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Laws (as now or hereafter in effect) of any Governmental Entity is filed and is not withdrawn or dismissed within **Material Redacted** days thereafter, or if, under the provisions of any Law providing for reorganization or winding-up of corporations which may apply to Lessee, any court of competent jurisdiction assumes jurisdiction over, or custody or control of, Lessee or of all or any substantial part of its property and such jurisdiction, custody or control remains in effect, unrelinquished, unstayed or unterminated for a period of **Material Redacted** days; (m) A final judgment for the payment of money not covered by insurance in excess of **Material Redacted**, or final judgments for the payment of money not covered by insurance in excess of **Material Redacted** in the aggregate, shall be rendered against Lessee and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of **Material Redacted** days during which execution thereof shall not be effectively stayed by agreement of the parties involved, stayed by court order or adequately bonded or attachments or other Liens, except for security interests; (n) Attachments or other Liens shall be issued or entered against substantially all of the property of Lessee and shall remain undischarged or unbonded for **Material Redacted** days except for security interests created in connection with monies borrowed or obligations agreed to by Lessee in the ordinary course of its business; (o) Lessee shall default in the payment of any obligation for the payment of borrowed money, for the deferred purchase price of property or for the payment of rent or hire under any lease of aircraft which has a principal amount of **Material Redacted** or more (determined in the case of borrowed money by the amount outstanding under the agreement pursuant to which such borrowed money was borrowed, in the case of a deferred purchase price by the remaining balance 49
and in the case of a lease by the present discounted value of the remaining rent or hire payable thereunder (ignoring any fair market renewal)) when the same becomes due and after giving effect to any applicable grace period, if such nonpayment results in the acceleration of any such indebtedness or any lessor shall have demanded the payment of any liquidated damages or similar amount or has exercised its rights to repossession of such property; or Lessee shall default in the performance of any other term, agreement or condition contained in any material agreement or instrument under or by which any such obligation is created, evidenced or secured, if the effect of such default is to cause such obligation to become due prior to its stated maturity; (p) Lessee voluntarily suspends all or substantially all of its operations or the franchises, concessions, permits, rights or privileges required for the conduct of the business and operations of Lessee shall be revoked, canceled or otherwise terminated or the free and continued use and exercise thereof curtailed or prevented, and as a result of any of the foregoing the preponderant business activity of Lessee shall cease to be that of a commercial airline; or (q) Without the prior written consent of Lessor, the Letter of Credit shall have been canceled, revoked or otherwise terminated prior to its original termination date or amended, modified, altered or replaced or there shall, for any reason, cease to be a letter of credit or letters of credit, as applicable, with terms and conditions and in the amount required hereunder in full force and effect at any time during the Term. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the occurrence of any one of the foregoing Events of Default would represent a material default in the performance of its obligations under this Lease. Section 18. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, Lessor may, at its option and without notice to Lessee, exercise one or more of the following remedies as Lessor in its sole discretion shall elect, to the extent available and permitted by, and subject to compliance with any mandatory requirements of, applicable Law then in effect; provided that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in paragraphs (j), (k) or (l) of Section 17, the Lessor shall be entitled automatically, as of the day prior to such occurrence, to exercise any of the following remedies without making demand or giving notice or the taking of any other action: (a) Demand that Lessee, and Lessee shall upon the written demand of Lessor and at Lessee's expense, immediately return the Aircraft to Lessor in the manner specified in such notice, in which event such return shall not be delayed for purposes of complying with the return conditions specified in Section 16 hereof (none of which conditions shall be deemed to affect Lessor's possession of the Aircraft) or delay for any other reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Lessor's option Lessee shall be required thereafter to take such actions as would be required by the provisions of this Lease if the Aircraft were being returned at the end of the Term hereof and Lessor agrees to cooperate with Lessee's required actions. In addition, Lessor, at its option and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, may enter upon the premises where all or any part of the Aircraft is located and take immediate possession of and, at Lessor's sole option, remove the same (and/or any engine which is not an Engine but which is installed on the Airframe, subject to the rights of the owner, lessor or secured party thereof) by summary proceedings or otherwise, all 50
without liability accruing to Lessor for or by reason of such entry or taking of possession whether for the restoration of damage to property, or otherwise, caused by such entry or taking, except damages caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct. (b) Sell at private or public sale, as Lessor may determine, or hold, use, operate or lease to others the Aircraft as Lessor in its sole discretion may determine, all free and clear of any rights to Lessee. (c) Whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall thereafter at any time exercise, any of its rights under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of this Section 18, Lessor, by thirty (30) days written notice to Lessee specifying a payment date, may demand that Lessee pay to Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on the payment date specified in such notice, as liquidated damages for loss of bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of the Basic Rent due for the period commencing after the date specified for payment in such notice), any unpaid Rent for the Aircraft (prorated in the case of Basic Rent on a daily basis) to and including the payment date specified in such notice, plus the amount, if any, by which the aggregate Basic Rent for the remainder of the Term, discounted periodically (equal to installment frequency) to present worth at the interest rate of four percent (4%) per annum, exceeds the fair market rental value (determined pursuant to the Appraisal Procedure) of the Aircraft for the remainder of the Term, after discounting such fair market rental value periodically (equal to installment frequency) to present worth as of the payment date specified in such notice at the interest rate of four percent (4%) per annum. (d) In the event that Lessor, pursuant to Section 18(b) above, shall have relet the Aircraft under a lease which extends at least to the date upon which the Term for the Aircraft would have expired but for Lessee's default, Lessor, in lieu of exercising its rights under Section 18(c) above with respect to the Aircraft, may, if it shall so elect, demand that Lessee pay Lessor, and Lessee shall pay Lessor, as liquidated damages for loss of bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of the Basic Rent for the Aircraft due after the time of reletting) any unpaid Rent for the Aircraft due up to the date of reletting, plus the amount, if any, by which the aggregate Basic Rent for the Aircraft, which would otherwise have become due over the Term, discounted periodically (equal to installment frequency) to present worth and of the date of reletting at the interest rate of four percent (4%) per annum, exceeds the aggregate basic rental payments to become due under the reletting from the date of such reletting to the date upon which the Term for the Aircraft would have expired but for Lessee's default, discounted periodically (equal to installment frequency) to present worth as of the date of the reletting at the interest rate of four percent (4%) per annum. (e) Proceed by appropriate court action or actions, either at law or in equity, to enforce performance by Lessee of the applicable covenants of this Lease and to recover damages for the breach thereof and to rescind this Lease. (f) Terminate this Lease by written notice (which notice shall be effective upon dispatch) and repossess the Aircraft. (g) Draw upon all amounts under the Security Letter of Credit, Security Deposit, Supplemental Rent, and other supplemental rent, security deposits or letters of credit held by Lessor or Lessor's Affiliates under any of the Related Leases and apply such amounts to amounts owing to Lessor hereunder. 51
In addition to the foregoing, Lessee shall be liable for any and all unpaid Rent, together with interest on such unpaid amounts at the Interest Rate, until satisfaction of all of Lessee's obligations to Lessor hereunder and for all reasonable legal fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lessor 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 Aircraft in accordance with the terms of Section 16 hereof or in placing the Aircraft in the condition and with airworthiness certification as required by such Section. In effecting any repossession, Lessor and its representatives and agents, to the extent permitted by law, shall: (i) have the right to enter upon any premises where it reasonably believes the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part to be located; (ii) not be liable, in conversion or otherwise, for the taking of any personal property of Lessee which is in or attached to the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part which is repossessed; provided, however, that Lessor shall return to Lessee all personal property of Lessee, its passengers or other Persons (such as lessors) which were on the Aircraft at the time Lessor re-takes possession of the Aircraft; (iii) not be liable or responsible, in any manner, for any inadvertent damage or injury to any of Lessee's property in repossessing and holding the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part, except for that caused by or in connection with Lessor's gross negligence or willful acts; (iv) have the right to maintain possession of and dispose of the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part on any premises owned by Lessee or under Lessee's control; and (v) have the right to obtain a key to any premises at which the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part, may be located from the landlord or owner thereof. If reasonably required by Lessor, Lessee, at its sole expense, shall assemble and make the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part available at a place designated by Lessor in accordance with Section 16 hereof. Lessee hereby agrees that, in the event of the return to or repossession by Lessor of the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part, any rights in any warranty (express or implied) heretofore assigned to Lessee or otherwise held by Lessee shall without further act, notice or writing be assigned or reassigned to Lessor, if assignable. Lessee shall be liable to Lessor for all reasonable expenses, disbursements, costs and fees incurred in (i) repossessing, storing, preserving, shipping, maintaining, repairing and refurbishing the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part to the condition required by Section 16 hereof and (ii) preparing the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part for sale or lease, advertising the sale or lease of the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part and selling or releasing the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part. Lessor is hereby authorized and instructed, at its option, to make reasonable expenditures which Lessor considers advisable to repair and restore the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part to the condition required by Section 16 hereof, all at Lessee's sole expense. At any public sale of the Aircraft, the Airframe, an Engine or Part pursuant to this Section, Lessor may bid for and purchase such property and Lessee agrees that the amounts paid therefor shall be used in the computation contemplated herein. No remedy referred to in this Section 18 is intended to be exclusive, but, to the extent permissible hereunder or under applicable Law, 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 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. No express or 52
implied waiver by Lessor of any Default or Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Default or Event of Default. Lessor acknowledges a duty under New York law to mitigate damages resulting from any Default or Event of Default on the part of Lessee. Section 19. Alienation. LESSOR SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT AT ITS SOLE COST AND EXPENSE TO ASSIGN, SELL OR ENCUMBER ANY INTEREST OF LESSOR IN THE AIRCRAFT OR THIS LEASE AND/OR THE PROCEEDS HEREOF SUBJECT TO THE RIGHTS OF LESSEE UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS LEASE. NO ASSIGNMENT, SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER OF LESSOR'S INTEREST OR CREATION OF ANY LIEN SHALL DIMINISH OR ADVERSELY AFFECT LESSEE'S RIGHTS HEREUNDER OR INCREASE LESSEE'S DUTIES OR THE LIABILITIES OF LESSEE IN RESPECT OF ANY TAX OR UNDER ANY OF ITS INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, OR CAUSE LESSEE TO INCUR ANY OBLIGATIONS, COST OR EXPENSE IN EXCESS OF THOSE FOR WHICH IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH ASSIGNMENT, SALE OR TRANSFER. LESSOR AGREES TO OBTAIN THE WRITTEN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ANY ASSIGNEE TO LESSEE'S RIGHT TO QUIET ENJOYMENT AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 20(f). TO EFFECT OR FACILITATE ANY SUCH ASSIGNMENT, SALE OR ENCUMBRANCE, LESSEE AGREES TO PROVIDE, AT LESSOR'S SOLE COST AND EXPENSE, SUCH AGREEMENTS, CONSENTS, CONVEYANCES OR DOCUMENTS AS MAY BE REASONABLY REQUESTED BY LESSOR, WHICH SHALL INCLUDE, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PROVIDED THAT LESSEE CONSENTS TO SUCH A RELEASE, AN UNRESTRICTED RELEASE OF LESSOR FROM ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS LEASE. LESSEE SHALL NOT UNREASONABLY WITHHOLD ITS CONSENT TO SUCH A RELEASE, AND LESSEE SHALL IN ANY EVENT BE REQUIRED TO SO CONSENT IF LESSOR PROVIDES ADEQUATE ASSURANCE OF PERFORMANCE OF LESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER BY AN ASSIGNEE. LESSOR SHALL ALSO REIMBURSE LESSEE FOR ANY FEES, EXPENSES OR OTHER COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY FILINGS AND REGISTRATIONS IN THE COUNTRY OF REGISTRATION OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BE MADE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH SALE, ASSIGNMENT OR OTHER TRANSFER OR THE PERFECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF ANY SUCH LIEN. LESSEE HEREBY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT AGAINST AN ASSIGNEE ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE WHICH IT MAY HAVE AGAINST LESSOR. THE AGREEMENTS, COVENANTS, OBLIGATIONS, AND LIABILITIES CONTAINED HEREIN INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ALL OBLIGATIONS TO PAY RENT AND INDEMNIFY EACH INDEMNITEE ARE MADE FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH INDEMNITEE AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. 53
Section 20. Miscellaneous. (a) Severability and Construction. 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; any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Lessee hereby waives any provisions of Law which render any provisions hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. This Lease shall constitute an agreement of lease, and nothing herein shall be construed as conveying to Lessee any right, title or interest in the Aircraft or any Engine or Part except as a lessee only. The headings in this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms of provisions hereof. Whenever required by the context hereof, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. Reference to this Lease shall mean this Lease as amended or supplemented from time to time. (b) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. THIS LEASE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE BUT WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES) EXECPT FOR THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 7-101 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW (WHICH PROVISIONS THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT ARE INAPPLICABLE TO THIS TRANSACTION) AND EXCEPT FOR MATTERS GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES. LESSEE AND LESSOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENT THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST IT OR ANY OF ITS ASSETS WITH RESPECT TO THE LEASE MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY JURISDICTION WHERE LESSEE OR LESSOR OR ANY OF ITS ASSETS MAY BE FOUND, OR IN ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AS LESSOR MAY ELECT, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS LEASE LESSEE AND LESSOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO AND ACCEPT WITH REGARD TO ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS ASSETS, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. LESSEE AND LESSOR HEREBY AGREE THAT IN THE EVENT THAT ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS ARE BROUGHT IN THE COUNTRY OF REGISTRATION, NEITHER OWNER NOR THE LESSOR SHALL BE REQUIRED TO POST ANY SECURITY IN ORDER FOR THE LESSOR TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE AIRCRAFT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE. LESSEE AND LESSOR FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED AIRMAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO LESSEE OR LESSOR AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH ON EXHIBIT C HERETO. THE FOREGOING, HOWEVER, SHALL NOT LIMIT THE RIGHTS OF LESSOR OR LESSEE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING OR TO OBTAIN EXECUTION OF JUDGMENT IN ANY JURISDICTION. LESSEE AND LESSOR FURTHER AGREE THAT FINAL JUDGMENT AGAINST LESSEE OR LESSOR IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE SHALL BE 54
CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WITHIN OR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT, A CERTIFIED OR EXEMPLIFIED COPY OF WHICH SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THE FACT AND THE AMOUNT OF LESSEE'S OR LESSOR'S INDEBTEDNESS. LESSEE AND LESSOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH LESSEE OR LESSOR 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 THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. The foregoing notwithstanding, the parties agree that they shall endeavor during a period of ten (10) Business Days to settle all disputes which may arise from the application or interpretation of this Lease through direct bilateral talks in the spirit of mutual understanding. (c) Notices. All notices required under the terms and provisions hereof shall be in writing, shall be sent to Lessor or Lessee at their respective addresses set forth on Exhibit C hereto (or such other addresses as the parties may designate from time to time in writing) and, except as otherwise provided herein, such notice shall become effective upon the earlier of actual receipt or the fifth day following the date such notice is sent. (d) Lessor's Right to Perform for Lessee. If Lessee fails to make any payment of Supplemental Rent required to be made by it hereunder or fails to perform or comply with any covenant, agreement or obligation contained herein, Lessor shall have the right but not the obligation to make such payment or conform or comply with such agreement, covenant or obligation, and the amount of such payment and the amount of the reasonable expenses of Lessor incurred in connection with such payment or the performance thereof or compliance therewith, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor (as Supplemental Rent) upon demand. Lessor agrees to notify Lessee in writing prior to making any payment under this Section 20(d), unless the Aircraft will be in danger of loss, sale, confiscation, forfeiture or seizure should such payment not be made. The taking of any such action by Lessor pursuant to this Subsection 20(d) shall not constitute a waiver or release of any obligation of Lessee under the Lease, nor a waiver of any Event of Default which may arise out of Lessee's nonperformance of such obligation, nor an election or waiver by Lessor of any remedy or right available to Lessor under or in relation to this Lease. (e) Counterparts. This Lease may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. To the extent, if any, that this Lease constitutes chattel paper (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction) no security interest in this Lease may be created through the transfer or possession of any counterpart other than the counterpart which has been marked "Original" on the signature page thereof. (f) Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor covenants that so long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall quietly enjoy the Aircraft and all rents, revenues, profits and income thereto, without interference by Owner, Lessor, or by any Person lawfully 55
claiming by or through Owner or Lessor; provided, however, that the proper exercise by Lessor of its rights under or in connection with this Agreement will not constitute such an interference. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any quiet enjoyment covenant of Lessor which may be available to Lessee under Section 2A-211(i) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code or as may otherwise be implied under applicable Law. (g) Brokers. Each of the parties hereby represents and warrants to the other that it has not paid, agreed to pay or caused to be paid directly or indirectly in any form, any commission, percentage, contingent fee, brokerage or other similar payments of any kind, in connection with the establishment or operation of this Agreement, to any Person (other than fees payable by Lessor and Lessee to their respective legal advisers or compensation payable by Lessor to GECAS for the portfolio management services performed on behalf of Lessor). Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees) asserted by any agent, broker or other third party for any commission or compensation of any nature whatsoever based upon this Agreement or the Aircraft, if such claim, suit, damage, cost or expense arises out of any breach by the indemnifying party, its employees or agents of the representation and warranty given hereby. (h) Payments in U.S. Dollars. All amounts to be paid hereunder shall be paid in Dollars, in immediately available funds, and all letters of credit delivered hereunder shall provide for payment in Dollars. Lessee acknowledges that the specification of Dollars in this transaction is of the essence and that Dollars shall be the currency of account in any and all events. The obligations of Lessee hereunder shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on prompt conversion to Dollars and transfer to the account specified in Exhibit C under the heading, "Payment Location" under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of Dollars owing to Lessor. In the event that any payment by Lessee, whether pursuant to judgment or otherwise, upon conversion does not yield such amount of Dollars, Lessor shall have a separate cause of action against Lessee for the additional amount necessary to yield the amount of Dollars due and owing to Lessor. (i) Security Letter of Credit. Subject to the provisions of Section 20(j) below, on the dates of execution and delivery of this Lease, Lessee shall deliver, or shall have delivered, to Lessor, unconditional and irrevocable Letters of Credit, in the amounts specified in Exhibit C hereto under the heading "Deposit". The Letters of Credit are also herein referred to as the "Security Letter of Credit". The Letters of Credit shall remain in full force and effect during a period commencing on the date of delivery of the Letter of Credit and ending on the Required LC Expiry Date. If Lessee fails to pay Rent hereunder or to pay any other sums due or to perform any of the other terms and provisions of this Lease or any document delivered pursuant hereto or is otherwise in Default hereunder, in addition to all other rights Lessor may have under law or hereunder, Lessor may draw upon all or a portion of the amounts of the Security Letters of Credit and may use, apply or retain all or any portion of the funds paid pursuant to the Security Letters of Credit in partial payment for sums due to Lessor by Lessee, to compensate Lessor for any sums it may in its discretion advance as a result of a Default by Lessee, or to apply toward losses or expenses Lessor may suffer or incur as a result of Lessee's Default hereunder. If Lessor draws upon all or any portion of the Security Letters of Credit, such application shall not be deemed a cure of any Default, and within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, Lessee shall cause each of the 56
Security Letters of Credit to be reinstated to the original amounts thereof or cause replacement Letters of Credit to be issued in the original amounts of the Security Letters of Credit and the failure of Lessee to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease by Lessee. (j) Security Deposit. In the event that any portion of the Security Letters of Credit pursuant to the terms of Section 20(i) above are posted in cash on or after the Delivery Date, such cash Security Deposit shall be non-refundable during the term of the Lease, unless and until such time as Lessee provides Lessor a Security Letter of Credit in the amount of such cash Security Deposit. If Lessee fails to pay Rent hereunder or to pay any other sums due or to perform any of the other terms and provisions of this Lease or any document delivered pursuant hereto or is otherwise in Default hereunder, in addition to all other rights Lessor may have under law or under this Lease, Lessor may draw upon all or a portion of the amount of the cash Security Deposit and may use, apply or retain all or any portion of the funds drawn in partial payment for sums due to Lessor by Lessee, to compensate Lessor for any sums it may in its discretion advance as a result of a Default by Lessee, or to apply toward losses or expenses Lessor may suffer or incur as a result of Lessee's Default under this Lease. If Lessor draws upon all or any portion of the cash Security Deposit, such application shall not be deemed a cure of any default, and within five (5) days after written demand therefor, Lessee shall cause such Security Deposit to be reinstated to the original amount thereof and the failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease by Lessee. Provided Lessee is not then in default of its obligations under this Lease, such Security Deposit shall be returned to Lessee upon termination of this Lease. (k) Transaction Costs. Lessor and Lessee shall each be responsible for its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and delivery of this Lease and any other documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. However, Lessee shall be responsible for all costs associated with perfecting the lease in the Country of Registration (and such other filings as may be required pursuant to Section 15 hereof), including (but not limited to) the provision of legal advice and opinions (excluding the fees and expenses of Lessor's Panamanian or other local counsel for the initial perfection of the Lease), stamp duties, translations and registrations, whether required by Lessor or Lessee. Lessee shall also be responsible for all reasonable costs incurred by Lessor in connection with the enforcement or preservation of Lessor's (and Owner's) rights under the Lease (including the fees and expenses of Lessor' Panamanian or other outside local counsel), other than registration of mortgages or liens on the Aircraft initiated by Owner or Lessor. (l) Time is of the Essence. The time stipulated in this Agreement (without prejudice to any grace periods specified in Section 17) for all payments payable by Lessee and Lessor and the prompt, punctual performance of Lessee's or Lessor's other obligations under this Agreement are of the essence of this Agreement. 57
(m) Disclaimer of Consequential Damages. LESSEE AND LESSOR EACH AGREE THAT IT SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO RECOVER, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN SECTION 2-A-520 OF THE NEW YORK UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE AS A RESULT OF ANY BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH OF ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES MADE BY IT CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE. (n) Agent for Service of Process. Without prejudice to any other mode of service, Lessee: (i) appoints Greenberg, Traurig, et al. 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10019 as its agent for service of process relating to any proceedings before the New York courts in connection with this Lease and agrees to maintain the process agent in New York notified to Lessor; (ii) agrees that failure by a process agent to notify Lessee of the process shall not invalidate the proceedings concerned; and (iii) consents to the service of process relating to any such proceedings by prepaid mailing of a copy of the process to Lessee's agent at the address identified in clause (i) above or by prepaid mailing by air mail, certified or registered mail of a copy of the process to Lessee at the address set forth in Exhibit C of this Lease. (o) Entire Agreement; Modification or Revision. This Lease, which shall be deemed to include Lease Supplement No. 1 when signed and delivered by Lessor and Lessee, and Letter Agreement No. 1 are intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement of the parties hereto, and this Lease and Letter Agreement No. 1 supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, whether oral or in writing. Neither this Lease, Letter Agreement No. 1, nor any term of this Lease or Letter Agreement No. 1 may be modified, rescinded, changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by a writing signed by the party to be charged. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge their agreement to the provision of this Section 20(o) by their initials below.

Notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease which would require the Lessee, at its expense, to comply with ADs by making repairs, alterations or modifications to the Aircraft to accomplish terminating action of the ADs, in the event that Lessee's actual cost, without mark-up, of compliance with an AD for the Aircraft exceeds **Material Redacted**, Lessor will reimburse Lessee a portion of such cost in excess of such **Material Redacted** as determined by the formula: R = [C - **Material Redacted**] x [ 1 - (N-M)/ **Material Redacted**] where: R = Amount to be reimbursed by Lessor to Lessee C = Lessee's actual cost, without mark-up, of modifying the Aircraft to comply with the AD; and M = the month of the Lease Term in which the AD modification is completed. N = the number of months in the Term (or the Term as extended upon Lessee's exercise of Renewal Options hereunder but in no event shall it be less than **Material Redacted**). Following completion of any such modification work, Lessee shall provide Lessor with a written notice signed by an officer or management employee of Lessee specifying the modifications completed, the cost thereof and the amount to be reimbursed by Lessor hereunder and certifying that at the date of such notice no Default arising from Lessee's failure to pay any amounts due or owing under the Lease when due and no Event of Default had occurred and was continuing. Lessee shall provide Lessor with such additional information as Lessor may reasonably request to verify that such modifications have been completed and the cost thereof. Within thirty days following Lessor's verification of the modification work, cost thereof and calculation of the amount of reimbursement owing to Lessee hereunder and providing no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, Lessor shall remit to Lessee the amount owing to Lessee hereunder. 4. MAINTENANCE PAYMENTS AT REDELIVERY: Upon redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor on the Return Occasion but not after the occurrence of a Casualty Occurrence with respect to the Aircraft, and independent of the redelivery conditions required by Exhibit E to the Lease Agreement, maintenance payments shall be made in accordance with the following: C-4
(a) The Airframe shall be returned with 80% of the time remaining until next scheduled D-check or equivalent as specified in the Maintenance Program. (b) Each Engine shall be returned with 80% of the time remaining until next heavy maintenance visit as determined by the expected life remaining based on industry standard mean time between removals for heavy maintenance as reported by the Engine Manufacturer. (c) Each Engine shall be returned with 80% of the time remaining until next scheduled removal on each LLP installed in each engine as specified in the Maintenance Program. (d) Each Landing Gear shall be returned with 80% of the time remaining until next scheduled overhaul as specified in the Maintenance Program. (e) Each APU shall be returned with 80% of the time remaining until next heavy maintenance visit as determined by the expected life remaining based on industry standard mean time between removals for heavy maintenance as reported by the APU manufacturer. (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an item of equipment is returned with fewer hours remaining than specified above, Lessee will pay Lessor for each hour/cycle below 80% of the time remaining. The per hour cost shall be determined by dividing Lessee's average cost for performing the specified maintenance or, in the case of LLPs, the actual purchase cost on the item divided by the interval between maintenance events or, in the case of LLPs, the life limit, as specified above. (g) If an item of equipment is returned with more hours remaining than specified above, Lessee will be entitled to a credit, for each hour above 80% of the time remaining, that can be used to offset any payments required above for the Aircraft or any other Aircraft leased by Lessee from Lessor. The per hour cost shall be determined by dividing Lessee's average cost for performing the specified maintenance or, in the case of LLPs, the actual purchase cost on the item divided by the interval between maintenance events or, in the case of LLPs, the life limit, as specified above. In the event that Lessee's average cost as determined in sub-paragraphs 19 (f) and (g) above is based upon insufficient Lessee experience as reasonably determined by Lessor, than the average of quotes by three independent FAA repair stations to perform such maintenance shall be used in such sub-paragraphs in lieu thereof.
