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.

EXHIBIT F-1 to Aircraft Lease Agreement LESSEE'S COUNSEL OPINION [Letterhead of Lessee's Counsel] [Date of Delivery Date] Aviation Financial Services Inc. c/o GE Capital Aviation Services 201 High Ridge Road Stamford, Connecticut 06927-4900 Re: Compania Panamena de Aviacion, S.A. Lease of New Boeing Model 737-700 Aircraft Manufacturer's Serial No. 28607 Dear Sirs: We act as counsel for Compania Panamena de Aviacion, S.A., a company organized under the laws of Panama (the "Lessee") and have reviewed (i) an Aircraft Lease Agreement dated as of November 18, 1998 (the "Lease") between the Lessee and Aviation Financial Services Inc. (the "Lessor"), together with Lease Supplement No. 1 thereto dated the Delivery Date between the Lessee and the Lessor and Letter Agreement No. 1 dated as of November 18, 1998 between the same parties (collectively, the "Lease"). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease. You have requested us to render an opinion in connection with the transactions governed by the Lease. We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies or facsimiles. Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: 1. The Lessee is a company duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of Panama, is duly qualified to hold property and to transact business as an air carrier under the laws of Panama and is duly qualified to carry on business in each jurisdiction in which it conducts business, has full power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted, to hold and operate property under lease and to enter into and to perform its obligations under the Lease and each other document related thereto to which the Lessee is a F-1-1
party. 2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Lessee of the Lease have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Lessee, do not require any approval of the shareholders of the Lessee or consent of any or holder of any indebtedness or obligation of the Lessee, and the execution and delivery of the Lease, the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein, and compliance by the Lessee with the terms and provisions thereof, do not contravene any law applicable to the Lessee, or result in the breach of, or constitute any default under, or result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property of the Lessee under any credit agreement or instrument, corporate charter or bylaw or other agreement to which the Lessee is a party or by which the Lessee or its properties or assets are bound or affected. 3. The Lessee received every consent, license, approval or authorization of, and exemption by, and gave every notice to, each Governmental Entity having jurisdiction with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of the Lease (including all monetary and other obligations thereunder) that is required for the Lessee to execute and deliver the Lease and to perform the transactions contemplated thereby and each such consent, license, approval, authorization and exemption is valid and effective and has not been revoked or rescinded. 4. The Lease has been duly executed and delivered by the Lessee and constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Lessee enforceable against the Lessee in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) as a court having jurisdiction may impose and by laws which may affect some of the remedies provided therein but which do not make the available remedies inadequate for the substantial realization of the benefits intended to be provided therein. 5. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to our best knowledge after due inquiry, threatened against or affecting the Lessee in any court or before any regulatory commission, arbitrator, board or other administrative Governmental Entity which, if adversely determined to the Lessee, could have a material adverse effect on the current business or financial conditions of the Lessee or on the ability of the Lessee to perform its obligations under the Lease. 6. The Lessee is not in default under any indenture, mortgage, loan agreement or lease agreement of which we have knowledge and to which the Lessee is now a parry or by which it is bound nor is the Lessee in default under any other agreement or instrument of a material nature of which we have knowledge and to which the Lessee is now a party or by which it is bound; nor to our knowledge is the Lessee in violation of any law, order, injunction, decree, rule or regulation applicable to the Lessee of any court or administrative body, which violation could materially and adversely affect the business, property or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Lessee; and no event has occurred and is continuing which, under the provisions of any such indenture, mortgage, loan agreement or lease agreement, with the F-1-2
lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder. 7. There is no Tax (whether payable by withholding or deduction and including, without limitation, monetary transfer fees, or similar taxes and charges) (i) on or by virtue of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Lease, or any other document furnished or contemplated to be furnished thereunder, or (ii) to be deducted or withheld from any payment to be made by the Lessee pursuant to the Lease. 8. The obligations of the Lessee under the Lease rank at least equally and ratably (pari passu) in all respects with all other unsecured obligations of the Lessee except for claims preferred by the laws of Panama. Such claims are [___]. 9. The Lessee is subject to private commercial laws and suit under the laws of Panama and any other jurisdiction affecting the Lessee. The Lessee is not entitled to sovereign immunity under the laws of Panama or any such other jurisdiction, and neither the Lessee nor any of its respective properties or assets have the right of immunity from suit or jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) on the grounds of sovereign immunity in Panama, the United States or any other jurisdiction. 10. The choice of New York law to govern the Lease will be upheld as a valid choice of law in any action in the courts of Panama. 11. The consent of the Lessee to the jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Section 20(b) of the Lease is valid and binding upon the Lessee and not subject to revocation. If any action in respect of the Lease were brought in a court of Panama, such court would apply the law of the State of New York. 12. Any judgment or order given by a Federal State or local court in New York under the Lease may be enforced in Panama by suit on the judgment, and would be recognized and accepted by the courts of Panama and would be enforceable by the courts of Panama without re-trial or examination of the merits of the original action, provided that any such courts have taken the necessary procedural and service of process required by Panamanian law and said judgment is not considered against public policy. 13. No stamp or registration or similar taxes or charges are payable in Panama in respect of the execution or performance of the Lease or the enforcement thereof in the courts of Panama other than [________________]. 14. Except for compliance with the requirements set forth in Paragraph 15 hereof, and the placing on the Aircraft and on each Engine of the plates containing the legends referred to in Section 6(f) of the Lease, no further filing, recording or notarization of the Lease or of any other document, and no further action is necessary or advisable(including without limitation the filing or recording of the Head Lease with the DAC or any other Governmental Entity in Panama), under the laws of any Governmental Entity in order to (a) fully establish and protect Alcyone FSC Corporation's title to, interest in and property rights with respect to, and Lessor's leasehold F-1-3
interests in, the Aircraft as against the Lessee or any third party and to ensure that the property rights of Alcyone FSC Corporation and the Lessor therein will have priority in all respects over the claims of all creditors of the Lessee or (b) ensure the validity, effectiveness and enforceability of the Lease and the practical realization of the benefits and rights intended to be afforded thereby. 15. The only filings, recordings, notarizations, or other actions that have not been taken and in full force and effect on the date hereof which are necessary or advisable to be taken under the laws of Panama in order to (i) fully establish and protect the Lessor's title to, interest in and property rights with respect to the Aircraft as against the Lessee or any third party and to ensure that the property rights of the Lessor therein which have priority in all respects over the claims of all creditors of the Lessee, and (ii) ensure the validity, effectiveness and enforceability of the Lease are (x) filing of the Lease (but not including Letter Agreement No. 1) for recordation with the DAC, (y) due registration of the Aircraft with the DAC in Panama and (z) recordation of the Owner's title to the Aircraft with the Aeronautics Section of the Public Registry of Panama. We know of no reason such recordations and registration should not be timely accomplished. 16. The Aircraft will be duly registered with the DAC, in the name of Alcyone FSC Corporation as owner and Lessor as lessor and in the name of Lessee as lessee and operator once it is imported into Panama. 17. Lessee is a licensed air carrier under the laws of Panama. The Lessee is qualified to operate the Aircraft in passenger and cargo revenue service to, from and within Panama. 18. The irrevocable instrument appointing Lessor or its agents as attorney-in-fact for Lessee to take all necessary actions on behalf of Lessee to remove the Aircraft (i) from the jurisdiction of Panama and (ii) from the registry of Panama upon termination of the Lease has been duly executed and delivered by Lessee and is irrevocable, legal, valid and effective under the laws of Panama to permit Lessor to so remove the Aircraft from the jurisdiction and registry of Panama. 19. On the termination of the Lease (whether by expiration of the Term or otherwise) as contemplated in the Lease, the Lessor will be entitled (i) to repossess the Aircraft, (ii) to deregister the Aircraft from the Register of Panama and (iii) to export the Aircraft from Panama, all without requiring any further consents, approvals or licenses from, and without requiring the posting of any security with, any Governmental Entity of Panama. If the export is not permitted or if deregistration of the Aircraft shall not be effected by the DAC, the Lessor has an adequate remedy at law to cause a prompt deregistration and to cause prompt issuance of any necessary export license without any posting of security. 20. The Lessor is not required to qualify to do business under the laws of Panama or any political subdivision thereof as a condition to, and the failure so to qualify does not affect, the exercise by it of any right, privilege or remedy accorded it under the Lease, or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the enforcement of such right, privilege or remedy. Neither the execution and delivery of, nor the performance by the Lessee of any action required under any of the Lease or any document delivered in connection therewith, nor the F-1-4
exercise of remedies thereunder will result in any tax liability to Lessor pursuant to the laws of Panama or any political subdivision thereof or tax authority therein. 21. The Lessor, either in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under the Lease, or any document delivered in connection therewith, or as the result of its interest in the Aircraft or as a result of receiving performance under the Lease, or any document delivered in connection therewith, shall not be deemed to have set up a permanent establishment in Panama under any applicable law of Panama relating to any Tax. We do not purport to be experts on and do not purport to be generally familiar with or qualified to express legal opinions based on any law other than the laws of Panama and, accordingly, express no legal opinion herein based upon any other laws.

CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT Exhibit 10.8 EXECUTION COPY As of November 18, 1998 COMPANIA PANAMENA DE AVIACION, S.A. Avenida Justo Arosema 7 Calle 39 Aptdo. 1572 Panama 1 REPUBLIC OF PANAMA Re: Letter Agreement No. 1 to Aircraft Lease Agreement dated as of November 18, 1998 between Aviation Financial Services Inc., Lessor, and Compania Panamena de Aviacion, S.A., Lessee - 1. Certain Conditions to Leasing Gentlemen: Reference is made to that certain Aircraft Lease Agreement dated as of November 18, 1998 (the "Lease") between Aviation Financial Services Inc., as lessor ("Lessor"), and Compania Panamena de Aviacion, S.A., as lessee ("Lessee"), for the lease of one new Boeing Model 737-700 commercial aircraft bearing manufacturer's serial number 28607 (the "Aircraft"). Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Lease. Each Party hereby agrees that such Party shall preserve the confidentiality of, and shall not disclose, the information set forth in this Letter Agreement No. 1 to any other Person without obtaining the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however such Person may disclose such information (i) to its attorneys and auditors and (ii) to the extent required by applicable law; provided, further that Lessor shall not be required to seek such consent of Lessee following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. In that connection and in order to preserve the confidentiality of certain business terms of the Lease, Lessor and Lessee have agreed that two special conditions to leasing should be enumerated in this letter rather than in the body of the Lease. Those conditions relate to the Aircraft Specification and to amendment of the existing leases of three Boeing 737-200 Aircraft presently leased to Lessee by Lessor's Affiliate Polaris Holding Company, as follows:
Page 2 1. Aircraft Specification and Interior Configuration. Lessor has agreed that the Aircraft will be delivered to Lessee meeting the Aircraft Specification and Interior Configuration applicable to new Boeing 737-700 Aircraft being delivered to Continental. Meeting such conditions will require special amendment to the Purchase Agreement including Aircraft Specification D6-38808-34, Revision A - July 16, 1998, which would otherwise be applicable thereto and other modifications after delivery of the Aircraft (collectively, the "Modifications"). Lessor will absorb up to **Material Redacted** of the cost per Aircraft to accomplish such Modifications. Lessor and Lessee have agreed that for any Modifications costs over **Material Redacted**, Lessor will fund the Modifications up to a total of **Material Redacted** per Aircraft, but with a corresponding increase in the monthly Basic Rent by an amount equal to **Material Redacted** of the amount by which such Modifications costs per Aircraft actually incurred by Lessor exceed **Material Redacted**. Lessee agrees to fund any excess Modification cost which exceeds **Material Redacted** without recourse to or reimbursement from Lessor or any lien upon or ownership claim in the Aircraft. Lessor and Lessee agree to have their technical experts meet with those of Continental and the Aircraft Manufacturer during the next 60 days in a good faith effort to establish the most appropriate methodology for achieving the Modifications. In order to implement those Modifications, it will be necessary for Lessor to obtain certain BFE parts and components particular to and furnished by Continental's BFE vendors. Accordingly, to the extent so required, Lessee undertakes to make available for purchase by Owner or Lessor, the BFE parts and components required for the Modifications contemplated herein and to cause the vendors of such BFE parts to furnish any necessary technical data or information and appropriate warranties. The Modifications will also require incorporation (by supplements to the Purchase Agreement referenced above) of a detailed aircraft technical specification similar to that utilized by Boeing for the construction of B737-700 aircraft for Continental. Lessee will be responsible for obtaining the technical information required to accomplish the Modifications. 2. Amendments to Existing Leases for Boeing 737-200 Aircraft. Lessee has agreed to lease the Aircraft pursuant to the Lease and to lease a companion new Boeing 737-700 Aircraft for delivery in October, 1999 (the two 737-700 Aircraft being hereinafter referred to as the "737-700 Aircraft") on condition that the leases for three Boeing 737-200 Aircraft bearing Serial Numbers 21359, 21612 and 21677 (the "737-200 Aircraft") be amended to provide for reductions in the amount of monthly rentals commencing as of September 1, 1998 and for the addition of certain lease renewal options, all as more detailed in that certain Letter of Intent No. 98323-03, dated September 8, 1998. Lessor and Lessee have agreed that the rental reductions to be implemented as of September 1, 1998 during the existing lease terms of the 737-200 Aircraft (but not during the optional renewal terms) will not be accomplished by way of an amendment to the amount of Basic Rent specified in the 737-200 Aircraft leases but will be effected by way of a credit in the amount of **Material Redacted** per month per aircraft to be applied as Basic Rent becomes due. Lessor confirms that the lessor and headlessor of the leases for 737-200 Aircraft are in agreement with the substance of such amendments and will cause GECAS to produce and negotiate in good faith appropriate documentation to implement such amendments as soon as reasonably possible after execution by Lessee of the Lease for the Aircraft and the lease for the companion Boeing 737-700 Aircraft.
Page 3 Lessor and Lessee have also agreed that in the event that Lessee does not take delivery of either of the 737-700 aircraft after proper tender of delivery by Lessor, Lessee shall immediately reimburse Lessor the full amount of any and all rental credits applied to Lessee's Basic Rent obligations for the 737-200 Aircraft, as described in the paragraph above, and Lessor shall be entitled to treat a failure by Lessee to make such reimbursement as an Event of Default under the Lease. 3. Delivery Delays. In the event of an Excusable Delay in the delivery of the Aircraft past the Estimated Delivery Date, Lessor will, notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary, pay Lessee **Material Redacted** for each day that the Aircraft is so delayed commencing with (a) the 60th day in the case of an Excusable Delay attributable to Lessor or (b) the 90th day in the case of an Excusable Delay on the part of the Manufacturer, to and including the day preceding the sixth (6th) monthly anniversary of the Estimated Delivery Date.
CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT Exhibit 10.9 As of March 8, 1999 COMPANIA PANAMENA DE AVIACION, S.A. Avenida Justo Arosema 7 Calle 39 Aptdo. 1572 Panama 1 REPUBLIC OF PANAMA Re: Letter Agreement No. 2 to Aircraft Lease Agreement dated as of November 18, 1998 between Aviation Financial Services Inc., Lessor, and Compania Panamena de Aviacion, S.A., Lessee - Correction to Exhibit C (Basic Rent) Gentlemen: Reference is made to that certain Aircraft Lease Agreement dated as of November 18, 1998 (the "Lease") between Aviation Financial Services Inc., as lessor ("Lessor"), and Compania Panamena de Aviacion, S.A., as lessee ("Lessee"), for the lease of one new Boeing Model 737-700 commercial aircraft bearing manufacturer's serial number 28607 (the "Aircraft"). Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Lease. Each Party hereby agrees that such Party shall preserve the confidentiality of the information set forth in this Letter Agreement No. 2, and shall not disclose such information to any other Person, without obtaining the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, such Person may disclose such information (i) to its attorneys and auditors and (ii) to the extent required by applicable law; provided, further that Lessor shall not be required to seek such consent of Lessee following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Lessor and Lessee have determined that the definition of Basic Rent as set forth in Exhibit C (the longer, non-public version) to the Lease contains an error in that the middle rental period is stated as being 24 months, whereas in fact the Parties had agreed to a middle rental period of 12 months as evidenced in their letter of intent dated September 8, 1998. Lessor and Lessee now wish to correct that error. Accordingly, the definition of Basic Rent set forth in said Exhibit C of the Lease is amended in its entirety to read: "BASIC RENT: The Basic Rent payable during the Basic Term shall be payable in sixty (60) consecutive monthly installments, in advance on each Basic Rent Payment Date, with each such installment equal to: (a) **Material Redacted** for the first twenty four monthly installments, (b) **Material Redacted** for the next twelve monthly installments, and (c) **Material Redacted** for the last twenty four monthly installments."
Except as expressly provided herein, Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that nothing contained in this Letter Agreement No. 2 is intended to discharge, amend or otherwise modify their obligations under the Lease. The Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed, but only as amended hereby, in all respects. This Letter Agreement No. 2 has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of Lessor and Lessee and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of them enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to principles of equity. This Letter Agreement No. 2 shall be governed by the Laws of the State of New York.

Upon exercise of any Lease Term Renewal Option such Option shall be deemed extinguished and not be available for any subsequent re-exercise." B. In Exhibit C, Part 2. DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN TERMS, the following definitions are amended and restated to read: "BASIC RENT: The Basic Rent payable during the Basic Term shall be payable in one hundred twenty (120) consecutive monthly installments, in advance on each Basic Rent Payment Date, with each such installment equal to: (a) **Material Redacted** for the first twenty four monthly installments, (b) **Material Redacted** for the next twelve monthly installments, (c) **Material Redacted** for the twenty four monthly installments commencing with the thirty seventh (37th) installment and (d) **Material Redacted** for the sixty monthly installments of Basic Rent commencing November 1, 2004 and for each installment of Basic Rent during any Renewal Term which may be commenced in a period subsequent to the Expiration Date."

"LAST BASIC RENT PAYMENT DATE: The Last Basic Rent Payment Date for the Aircraft shall be October 1, 2009, or such later date as may result from exercise of the Lease Term Renewal Options. C.

Each monthly installment of Basic Rent will be increased by **Material Redacted** of the Winglets Actual Cost commencing on the first Basic Rent Payment Date following winglet installation. Upon installation, such winglets shall become a part of the Aircraft and title thereto shall vest in Owner in accordance with Section 9 (b) of the Lease." D.

substantial realization of the benefits provided herein; (v) there are no suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Lessee, threatened in any court or before any regulatory commission, board or other administrative Governmental Entity against or affecting Lessee which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Lessee's ability to perform its obligations hereunder; (vi) Lessee has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which are required to be filed by it, and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes shown to be due or payable on said returns or on any assessment received by Lessee, except to the extent the same are being contested by Lessee in good faith by appropriate proceedings; (vii) except for compliance with the rules and regulations of the DAC with respect to the filing for recordation of this Lease and the Lease Supplement, and the placing on the Aircraft and on each Engine of the plates containing the legends referred to in Section 6(f) hereof, no further filing or recording of this Lease or of any other document and no further action, are necessary under the Laws of any Governmental Entity (including without limitation any Governmental Entity of the Government of Organization or the Government of Registration) in order to (A) fully protect and establish Owner's title to the Aircraft, and Owner's and Lessor's interests in and property rights with respect to the Aircraft as against Lessee or any third party and to ensure that property rights of Owner and Lessor therein will have priority in all respects over the claims of all creditors of Lessee, or (B) ensure the validity, effectiveness and enforceability of this Lease; (viii) Lessee is not in default in the performance of any of its obligations (A) for the payment of indebtedness for borrowed money or of any interest or premium thereon or (B) for the payment of rent under any lease or agreement to lease real, personal or mixed property, in each case in respect of obligations in amounts in excess of **Material Redacted**; (ix) the Maintenance Program for the Aircraft complies with all DAC requirements; (x) there are no withholding or other Taxes of the Country of Registration to be deducted from any payment to be made by Lessee under this Lease; provided that Lessor is, and remains, an entity organized under the laws of a country which has in effect a tax reciprocity treaty or agreement with Panama which so provides; (xi) the choice of law to govern this Lease, as specified in Section 20(b) hereof, is a valid choice of law and such choice will be upheld in the courts of the Country of Organization and the Country of Registration; and (xii) Lessee is subject to private commercial law and suit under the Laws of the Country of Organization and the Country of Registration.

Lessee will not permit the Aircraft to be maintained, used or operated in violation of any Law of any Governmental Entity of the Country of Registration, the Country of Organization or any other jurisdiction in which Lessee operates the Aircraft, or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, or license or registration issued by any such authority, or contrary to the Manufacturer's or Engine Manufacturer's operating manuals or instructions for the Aircraft or the Engines. 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 21

Lessee also agrees not to operate 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. (d) Maintenance. 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 22
Entity having jurisdiction over the Aircraft and (iv) permit Lessor or any authorized representative 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 agrees to make such changes to the Lease Identification as Lessor may reasonably request from time to time. Section 7. Information. From and after the Delivery Date, Lessee agrees to furnish Lessor the following: (a) within sixty (60) days following the end of each quarter of Lessee's fiscal year, except the last such quarter of such year, an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Lessee prepared as of the close of each quarterly period, together with the related unaudited profit and loss statement for such period, together with a certificate of the chief financial officer of Lessee stating that such reports fairly present the financial position of Lessee in accordance with Panamanian generally accepted accounting principles; (b) within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each fiscal year of Lessee, balance sheet, profit and loss statement, and statement of stockholders' equity of Lessee (prepared on a consolidated basis), as of the close of such fiscal year and audited by an Approved Auditor; (c) within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each fiscal year of Lessee, a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of Lessee, stating (i) that such officer is familiar with the relevant terms of this Lease and has made a review of Lessee's compliance herewith during the preceding fiscal year, and (ii) that no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default, or, if such an event has occurred, the nature thereof and action Lessee has taken or is taking to cure the same; (d) within ten (10) days following each six (6) month anniversary of the Delivery Date, Lessee shall provide Lessor with a report with respect to the Aircraft specifying: (i) total hours and total cycles of the Airframe and the Engines; (ii) any scheduled maintenance above a "C" Check performed in the prior six (6) month period; (iii) any significant modifications performed to the Aircraft; (iv) any damage to or destruction of the Aircraft, an Engine or Part, the potential cost of which exceeds the Damage Notification Threshold; and (v) the status of the accomplishment of airworthiness directives and manufacturer's service bulletins, including method of compliance (e.g., 23

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 (vi) 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.

EXHIBIT F-1 to Aircraft Lease Agreement LESSEE'S COUNSEL OPINION [Letterhead of Lessee's Counsel] [Date of Delivery Date] Aviation Financial Services Inc. c/o GE Capital Aviation Services 201 High Ridge Road Stamford, Connecticut 06927-4900 Re: Compania Panamena de Aviacion, S.A. Lease of New Boeing Model 737-700 Aircraft Manufacturer's Serial No. 30049 Dear Sirs: We act as counsel for Compania Panamena de Aviacion, S.A., a company organized under the laws of Panama (the "Lessee") and have reviewed (i) an Aircraft Lease Agreement dated as of November 18, 1998 (the "Lease") between the Lessee and Aviation Financial Services Inc. (the "Lessor"), together with Lease Supplement No. 1 thereto dated the Delivery Date between the Lessee and the Lessor and Letter Agreement No. 1 dated as of November 18, 1998 between the same parties (collectively, the "Lease"). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease. You have requested us to render an opinion in connection with the transactions governed by the Lease. We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies or facsimiles. Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: 1. The Lessee is a company duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of Panama, is duly qualified to hold property and to transact business as an air carrier under the laws of Panama and is duly qualified to carry on business in each jurisdiction in which it conducts business, has full power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted, to hold and operate property under lease and to enter into and to perform its obligations under the Lease and each other document related thereto to which the Lessee is a F-1-1
party. 2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Lessee of the Lease have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Lessee, do not require any approval of the shareholders of the Lessee or consent of any or holder of any indebtedness or obligation of the Lessee, and the execution and delivery of the Lease, the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein, and compliance by the Lessee with the terms and provisions thereof, do not contravene any law applicable to the Lessee, or result in the breach of, or constitute any default under, or result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property of the Lessee under any credit agreement or instrument, corporate charter or bylaw or other agreement to which the Lessee is a party or by which the Lessee or its properties or assets are bound or affected. 3. The Lessee received every consent, license, approval or authorization of, and exemption by, and gave every notice to, each Governmental Entity having jurisdiction with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of the Lease (including all monetary and other obligations thereunder) that is required for the Lessee to execute and deliver the Lease and to perform the transactions contemplated thereby and each such consent, license, approval, authorization and exemption is valid and effective and has not been revoked or rescinded. 4. The Lease has been duly executed and delivered by the Lessee and constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Lessee enforceable against the Lessee in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) as a court having jurisdiction may impose and by laws which may affect some of the remedies provided therein but which do not make the available remedies inadequate for the substantial realization of the benefits intended to be provided therein. 5. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to our best knowledge after due inquiry, threatened against or affecting the Lessee in any court or before any regulatory commission, arbitrator, board or other administrative Governmental Entity which, if adversely determined to the Lessee, could have a material adverse effect on the current business or financial conditions of the Lessee or on the ability of the Lessee to perform its obligations under the Lease. 6. The Lessee is not in default under any indenture, mortgage, loan agreement or lease agreement of which we have knowledge and to which the Lessee is now a parry or by which it is bound nor is the Lessee in default under any other agreement or instrument of a material nature of which we have knowledge and to which the Lessee is now a party or by which it is bound; nor to our knowledge is the Lessee in violation of any law, order, injunction, decree, rule or regulation applicable to the Lessee of any court or administrative body, which violation could materially and adversely affect the business, property or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Lessee; and no event has occurred and is continuing which, under the provisions of any such indenture, mortgage, loan agreement or lease agreement, with the F-1-2
lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder. 7. There is no Tax (whether payable by withholding or deduction and including, without limitation, monetary transfer fees, or similar taxes and charges) (i) on or by virtue of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Lease, or any other document furnished or contemplated to be furnished thereunder, or (ii) to be deducted or withheld from any payment to be made by the Lessee pursuant to the Lease. 8. The obligations of the Lessee under the Lease rank at least equally and ratably (pari passu) in all respects with all other unsecured obligations of the Lessee except for claims preferred by the laws of Panama. Such claims are [____________]. 9. The Lessee is subject to private commercial laws and suit under the laws of Panama and any other jurisdiction affecting the Lessee. The Lessee is not entitled to sovereign immunity under the laws of Panama or any such other jurisdiction, and neither the Lessee nor any of its respective properties or assets have the right of immunity from suit or jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) on the grounds of sovereign immunity in Panama, the United States or any other jurisdiction. 10. The choice of New York law to govern the Lease will be upheld as a valid choice of law in any action in the courts of Panama. 11. The consent of the Lessee to the jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Section 20(b) of the Lease is valid and binding upon the Lessee and not subject to revocation. If any action in respect of the Lease were brought in a court of Panama, such court would apply the law of the State of New York. 12. Any judgment or order given by a Federal State or local court in New York under the Lease may be enforced in Panama by suit on the judgment, and would be recognized and accepted by the courts of Panama and would be enforceable by the courts of Panama without re-trial or examination of the merits of the original action, provided that any such courts have taken the necessary procedural and service of process required by Panamanian law and said judgment is not considered against public policy. 13. No stamp or registration or similar taxes or charges are payable in Panama in respect of the execution or performance of the Lease or the enforcement thereof in the courts of Panama other than [____________]. 14. Except for compliance with the requirements set forth in Paragraph 15 hereof, and the placing on the Aircraft and on each Engine of the plates containing the legends referred to in Section 6(f) of the Lease, no further filing, recording or notarization of the Lease or of any other document, and no further action is necessary or advisable(including without limitation the filing or recording of the Head Lease with the DAC or any other Governmental Entity in Panama), under the laws of any Governmental Entity in order to (a) fully establish and protect Alcyone FSC Corporation's title to, interest in and property rights with respect to, and Lessor's leasehold F-1-3
interests in, the Aircraft as against the Lessee or any third party and to ensure that the property rights of Alcyone FSC Corporation and the Lessor therein will have priority in all respects over the claims of all creditors of the Lessee or (b) ensure the validity, effectiveness and enforceability of the Lease and the practical realization of the benefits and rights intended to be afforded thereby. 15. The only filings, recordings, notarizations, or other actions that have not been taken and in full force and effect on the date hereof which are necessary or advisable to be taken under the laws of Panama in order to (i) fully establish and protect the Owner's title to, and Owner's and Lessor's interests in and property rights with respect to, the Aircraft as against the Lessee or any third party and to ensure that the property rights of Owner and Lessor therein which have priority in all respects over the claims of all creditors of the Lessee, and (ii) ensure the validity, effectiveness and enforceability of the Lease are (x) filing of the Lease (but not including Letter Agreement No. 1) for recordation with the DAC, (y) due registration of the Aircraft with the DAC in Panama and (z) recordation of the Owner's title to the Aircraft with the Aeronautics Section of the Public Registry of Panama. We know of no reason such recordations and registration should not be timely accomplished. 16. The Aircraft will be duly registered with the DAC, in the name of Alcyone FSC Corporation as owner and Lessor as lessor and in the name of Lessee as lessee and operator once it is imported into Panama. 17. Lessee is a licensed air carrier under the laws of Panama. The Lessee is qualified to operate the Aircraft in passenger and cargo revenue service to, from and within Panama. 18. The irrevocable instrument appointing Lessor or its agents as attorney-in-fact for Lessee to take all necessary actions on behalf of Lessee to remove the Aircraft (i) from the jurisdiction of Panama and (ii) from the registry of Panama upon termination of the Lease has been duly executed and delivered by Lessee and is irrevocable, legal, valid and effective under the laws of Panama to permit Lessor to so remove the Aircraft from the jurisdiction and registry of Panama. 19. On the termination of the Lease (whether by expiration of the Term or otherwise) as contemplated in the Lease, the Lessor will be entitled (i) to repossess the Aircraft, (ii) to deregister the Aircraft from the Register of Panama and (iii) to export the Aircraft from Panama, all without requiring any further consents, approvals or licenses from, and without requiring the posting of any security with, any Governmental Entity of Panama. If the export is not permitted or if deregistration of the Aircraft shall not be effected by the DAC, the Lessor has an adequate remedy at law to cause a prompt deregistration and to cause prompt issuance of any necessary export license without any posting of security. 20. The Lessor is not required to qualify to do business under the laws of Panama or any political subdivision thereof as a condition to, and the failure so to qualify does not affect, the exercise by it of any right, privilege or remedy accorded it under the Lease, or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the enforcement of such right, privilege or remedy. Neither the execution and delivery of, nor the performance by the Lessee of any action F-1-4
required under any of the Lease or any document delivered in connection therewith, nor the exercise of remedies thereunder will result in any tax liability to Lessor pursuant to the laws of Panama or any political subdivision thereof or tax authority therein. 21. The Lessor, either in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under the Lease, or any document delivered in connection therewith, or as the result of its interest in the Aircraft or as a result of receiving performance under the Lease, or any document delivered in connection therewith, shall not be deemed to have set up a permanent establishment in Panama under any applicable law of Panama relating to any Tax. We do not purport to be experts on and do not purport to be generally familiar with or qualified to express legal opinions based on any law other than the laws of Panama and, accordingly, express no legal opinion herein based upon any other laws.

Avenida Justo Arosema 7 Calle 39 Aptdo. 1572 Panama 1 REPUBLIC OF PANAMA Re: Letter Agreement No. 1 to Aircraft Lease Agreement dated as of November 18, 1998 between Aviation Financial Services Inc., Lessor, and Compania Panamena de Aviacion, S.A., Lessee - 1. Certain Conditions to Leasing Gentlemen: Reference is made to that certain Aircraft Lease Agreement dated as of November 18, 1998 (the "Lease") between Aviation Financial Services Inc., as lessor ("Lessor"), and Compania Panamena de Aviacion, S.A., as lessee ("Lessee"), for the lease of one new Boeing Model 737-700 commercial aircraft bearing manufacturer's serial number 30049 (the "Aircraft"). Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Lease. Each Party hereby agrees that such Party shall preserve the confidentiality of, and shall not disclose, the information set forth in this Letter Agreement No. 1 to any other Person without obtaining the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however such Person may disclose such information (i) to its attorneys and auditors and (ii) to the extent required by applicable law; provided, further that Lessor shall not be required to seek such consent of Lessee following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. In that connection and in order to preserve the confidentiality of certain business terms of the Lease, Lessor and Lessee have agreed that two special conditions to leasing should be enumerated in this letter rather than in the body of the Lease. Those conditions relate to the Aircraft Specification and to amendment of the existing leases of three Boeing 737-200 Aircraft presently leased to Lessee by Lessor's Affiliate Polaris Holding Company, as follows:
1. Aircraft Specification and Interior Configuration. Lessor has agreed that the Aircraft will be delivered to Lessee meeting the Aircraft Specification and Interior Configuration applicable to new Boeing 737-700 Aircraft being delivered to Continental. Meeting such conditions will require special amendment to the Purchase Agreement including Aircraft Specification D6-38808-34, Revision A - July 16, 1998, which would otherwise be applicable thereto and other modifications after delivery of the Aircraft (collectively, the "Modifications"). Lessor will absorb up to **Material Redacted** of the cost per Aircraft to accomplish such Modifications. Lessor and Lessee have agreed that for any Modifications costs over **Material Redacted**, Lessor will fund the Modifications up to a total of **Material Redacted** per Aircraft, but with a corresponding increase in the monthly Basic Rent by an amount equal to **Material Redacted** of the amount by which such Modifications costs per Aircraft actually incurred by Lessor exceed **Material Redacted**. Lessee agrees to fund any excess Modification cost which exceeds **Material Redacted** without recourse to or reimbursement from Lessor or any lien upon or ownership claim in the Aircraft. Lessor and Lessee agree to have their technical experts meet with those of Continental and the Aircraft Manufacturer during the next 60 days in a good faith effort to establish the most appropriate methodology for achieving the Modifications. In order to implement those Modifications, it will be necessary for Lessor to obtain certain BFE parts and components particular to and furnished by Continental's BFE vendors. Accordingly, to the extent so required, Lessee undertakes to make available for purchase by Owner or Lessor, the BFE parts and components required for the Modifications contemplated herein and to cause the vendors of such BFE parts to furnish any necessary technical data or information and appropriate warranties. The Modifications will also require incorporation (by supplements to the Purchase Agreement referenced above) of a detailed aircraft technical specification similar to that utilized by Boeing for the construction of B737-700 aircraft for Continental. Lessee will be responsible for obtaining the technical information required to accomplish the Modifications. 2. Amendments to Existing Leases for Boeing 737-200 Aircraft. Lessee has agreed to lease the Aircraft pursuant to the Lease and to lease a companion new Boeing 737-700 Aircraft for delivery in October, 1999 (the two 737-700 Aircraft being hereinafter referred to as the "737-700 Aircraft") on condition that the leases for three Boeing 737-200 Aircraft bearing Serial Numbers 21359, 21612 and 21677 (the "737-200 Aircraft") be amended to provide for reductions in the amount of monthly rentals commencing as of September 1, 1998 and for the addition of certain lease renewal options, all as more detailed in that certain Letter of Intent No. 98323-03, dated September 8, 1998. Lessor and Lessee have agreed that the rental reductions to be implemented as of September 1, 1998 during the existing lease terms of the 737-200 Aircraft (but not during the optional renewal terms) will not be accomplished by way of an amendment to the amount of Basic Rent specified in the 737-200 Aircraft leases but will be effected by way of a credit in the amount of **Material Redacted** per month per aircraft to be applied as Basic Rent becomes due. Lessor confirms that the lessor and headlessor of the leases for 737-200 Aircraft are in agreement with the substance of such amendments and will cause GECAS to produce and negotiate in good faith appropriate documentation to implement such amendments as soon as reasonably possible after execution by Lessee of the Lease for the Aircraft and the lease for the companion Boeing 737-700 Aircraft.
Lessor and Lessee have also agreed that in the event that Lessee does not take delivery of either of the 737-700 aircraft after proper tender of delivery by Lessor, Lessee shall immediately reimburse Lessor the full amount of any and all rental credits applied to Lessee's Basic Rent obligations for the 737-200 Aircraft, as described in the paragraph above, and Lessor shall be entitled to treat a failure by Lessee to make such reimbursement as an Event of Default under the Lease. 3. Delivery Delays. In the event of an Excusable Delay in the delivery of the Aircraft past the Estimated Delivery Date, Lessor will, notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary, pay Lessee **Material Redacted** for each day that the Aircraft is so delayed commencing with (a) the 60th day in the case of an Excusable Delay attributable to Lessor or (b) the 90th day in the case of an Excusable Delay on the part of the Manufacturer, to and including the day preceding the sixth (6th) monthly anniversary of the Estimated Delivery Date.

Avenida Justo Arosema 7 Calle 39 Aptdo. 1572 Panama 1 REPUBLIC OF PANAMA Re: Letter Agreement No. 2 to Aircraft Lease Agreement dated as of November 18, 1998 between Aviation Financial Services Inc., Lessor, and Compania Panamena de Aviacion, S.A., Lessee - Correction to Exhibit C (Basic Rent) Gentlemen: Reference is made to that certain Aircraft Lease Agreement dated as of November 18, 1998 (the "Lease") between Aviation Financial Services Inc., as lessor ("Lessor"), and Compania Panamena de Aviacion, S.A., as lessee ("Lessee"), for the lease of one new Boeing Model 737-700 commercial aircraft bearing manufacturer's serial number 30049 (the "Aircraft"). Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Lease. Each Party hereby agrees that such Party shall preserve the confidentiality of the information set forth in this Letter Agreement No. 2, and shall not disclose such information to any other Person, without obtaining the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, such Person may disclose such information (i) to its attorneys and auditors and (ii) to the extent required by applicable law; provided, further that Lessor shall not be required to seek such consent of Lessee following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Lessor and Lessee have determined that the definition of Basic Rent as set forth in Exhibit C (the longer, non-public version) to the Lease contains an error in that the middle rental period is stated as being 24 months, whereas in fact the Parties had agreed to a middle rental period of 12 months as evidenced in their letter of intent dated September 8, 1998. Lessor and Lessee now wish to correct that error. Accordingly, the definition of Basic Rent set forth in said Exhibit C of the Lease is amended in its entirety to read: "BASIC RENT: The Basic Rent payable during the Basic Term shall be payable in sixty (60) consecutive monthly installments, in advance on each Basic Rent Payment Date, with each such installment equal to: (a) **Material Redacted** for the first twenty four monthly installments, (b) **Material Redacted** for the next twelve monthly installments, and (c) **Material Redacted** for the last twenty four monthly installments."
Except as expressly provided herein, Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that nothing contained in this Letter Agreement No. 2 is intended to discharge, amend or otherwise modify their obligations under the Lease. The Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed, but only as amended hereby, in all respects. This Letter Agreement No. 2 has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of Lessor and Lessee and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of them enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to principles of equity. This Letter Agreement No. 2 shall be governed by the Laws of the State of New York.

Basic Rent during any such Renewal Term shall be payable monthly in advance at the same monthly Basic Rent rate paid by Lessee during the Basic Term (as extended by any previous extension or exercise of a Lease Term Renewal Option) that would otherwise be expiring.

Upon exercise of any Lease Term Renewal Option such Option shall be deemed extinguished and not be available for any subsequent re-exercise." B. In Exhibit C, Part 2. DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN TERMS, the following definitions are amended and restated to read: "BASIC RENT: The Basic Rent payable during the Basic Term shall be payable in one hundred twenty (120) consecutive monthly installments, in advance on each Basic Rent Payment Date, with each such installment equal to: (a) **Material Redacted** for the first twenty four monthly installments, (b) **Material Redacted** for the next twelve monthly installments, (c) **Material Redacted** for the twenty four monthly installments commencing with the thirty seventh (37th) installment and (d) **Material Redacted** for the sixty monthly installments of Basic Rent commencing November 1, 2004 and for each installment of Basic Rent during any Renewal Term which may be commenced in a period subsequent to the Expiration Date."

"LAST BASIC RENT PAYMENT DATE: The Last Basic Rent Payment Date for the Aircraft shall be October 1, 2009, or such later date as may result from exercise of the Lease Term Renewal Options. C. In Exhibit C, a new Part 5 is added after the current Part 4, as follows: "5. INSTALLATION AND COST AMORTIZATION OF WINGLETS: Notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary, Lessor will reimburse Lessee, Lessee's actual cost of installing winglets on the Aircraft ("Winglets Actual Cost") up to a maximum of **Material Redacted**, provided such installation occurs no later than April 2004. 2
Each monthly installment of Basic Rent will be increased by **Material Redacted** of the Winglets Actual Cost commencing on the first Basic Rent Payment Date following winglet installation. Upon installation, such winglets shall become a part of the Aircraft and title thereto shall vest in Owner in accordance with Section 9 (b) of the Lease." D.

5.4 RESERVES. 5.4.1 LESSEE will pay to LESSOR supplemental Rent, based on LESSEE's use of the Aircraft during the Lease Term, in the form of the following reserves in the following amounts (individually, "AIRFRAME RESERVES", "ENGINE PERFORMANCE RESTORATION RESERVES" and "ENGINE LLP RESERVES" and collectively "RESERVES"): TYPE OF RESERVES AMOUNT OF RESERVES ---------------- ------------------ Airframe Reserves: **Material Redacted** per Airframe flight hour Engine Performance **Material Redacted** per Restoration Reserves*: Engine flight hour for each Engine (payable when the Engine is utilized on the Aircraft or another aircraft) or **Material Redacted** per Engine flight hour for each Engine (payable when the Engine is utilized on the Aircraft or another aircraft) Engine LLP Reserves: **Material Redacted** per Engine cycle for each Engine (payable when the Engine is utilized on the Aircraft or another aircraft) * Engine Reserves will be paid each month at the applicable rate based on the thrust rating at which a particular Engine is operated during such month. 5.4.2 The amount of the Engine Performance Restoration Reserves and Engine LLP Reserves set forth in Article 5.4.1 will be increased by LESSOR in the event of all increase in the thrust rating of an Engine in accordance with Article 12.9. 5.4.3 Such Reserves will be paid on or before the 10th day of the calendar month next following the month in which the Delivery Date occurs and on or before the 10th day of each succeeding calendar month for flying performed during the calendar month prior to payment. All Reserves for flying performed during the month in which the Termination Date occurs will be paid on the Termination Date, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. 5.4.4 No interest will accrue or be paid at anytime to LESSEE on such Reserves and, subject to LESSOR's obligations under Article 13, LESSOR may commingle the Reserves with LESSOR's general funds. 5.5 ADDITIONAL RENT FOR EXCESS CYCLES. If in any calendar year (or portion thereof) of the Lease Term the Airframe or any Engine operated more cycles than the maximum number of cycles which would result from an average hour/cycle ratio of **Material Redacted** hours to **Material Redacted** cycle, LESSEE will pay LESSOR as additional Rent **Material Redacted** for each Airframe cycle and **Material Redacted** for each Engine cycle the Airframe and any Engine actually operated during such calendar year (or portion thereof) in excess of the number of cycles which result from an average hour/cycle ratio of **Material Redacted** hours to **Material Redacted** cycle. A calculation will be made as of December 15
31 of each year and such additional Rent will be due and payable by LESSEE on the date on which the next Reserves payment is due (in accordance with Article 5.4.3) following such hour/cycle calculation period. Example: If the Airframe operated **Material Redacted** hours in a calendar year, it would have **Material Redacted** cycles resulting from an average hour/cycle ratio of **Material Redacted** hours to **Material Redacted** cycle. If in fact the Airframe operated **Material Redacted** cycles in such calendar year, the Airframe operated **Material Redacted** excess cycles in such calendar year and LESSEE will pay LESSOR **Material Redacted** (**Material Redacted** excess cycles x **Material Redacted** = **Material Redacted**). Similarly, if an Engine which is rated at **Material Redacted** thrust operated **Material Redacted** cycles in such calendar year, such Engine operated **Material Redacted** excess cycles in such calendar year and LESSEE will pay LESSOR **Material Redacted** (**Material Redacted** excess cycles x **Material Redacted** = **Material Redacted**). Alternatively, if an Engine which is rated at **Material Redacted** thrust operated **Material Redacted** cycles in such calendar year, such Engine operated **Material Redacted** excess cycles in such calendar year and LESSEE will pay LESSOR **Material Redacted** (**Material Redacted** excess cycles x **Material Redacted** = **Material Redacted**). 5.6 LESSOR'S BANK ACCOUNT. The Security Deposit, Transaction Fee, Rent, Reserves and any other payment due under this Lease will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. Dollar funds to LESSOR's bank account at: International Lease Finance Corporation JPMorgan Chase Bank 270 Park Avenue New York, New York 10017 ABA# 021000021 or to such other bank account in the United States (or such other jurisdiction as may be agreed) as LESSOR may from time to time designate by at least three (3) days prior written notice ("LESSOR'S BANK"). When it is stated in this Lease that an installment of the Security Deposit, the monthly Rent, Reserves or any other payment is due or must be paid or made by LESSEE by a specific date, then such payment actually must be received by LESSOR's Bank on or before such specific date on or before close of business (local time), even if, in order for such payment to be received by LESSOR's Bank by such specific date, LESSEE must initiate the wire transfer prior to such specific date. 5.7 DEFAULT INTEREST. If LESSOR's Bank does not receive the Rent or any other amount on or before the specific date when due, LESSOR will suffer loss and damage the exact nature and amount of which are difficult or impossible to ascertain. LESSEE will pay LESSOR as supplemental Rent (by way of agreed compensation and not as a penalty) interest on any due 16
and unpaid amounts payable by LESSEE under this Lease. Interest will be calculated at a per annum rate (based on a 360 day year) which is equal to **Material Redacted** plus the Prime Rate in effect on the date on which the amount was originally due for the period from the date the amount originally was due through the date the amount actually is received at LESSOR's Bank or, in the case of LESSOR's performance of LESSEE's obligations hereunder, from the date of payment by LESSOR through the date of LESSEE's repayment to LESSOR ("DEFAULT Interest"). Default Interest will accrue on a day-to-day basis and be compounded monthly. 5.8 NO DEDUCTIONS OR WITHHOLDINGS. Subject to Article 16 of this Lease, All payments by LESSEE under this Lease, including the Security Deposit, Transaction Fee, Rent, Reserves, Default Interest, fees, indemnities or any other item, will be made in full without any deduction or withholding whether in respect of set-off, counterclaim, duties, or Taxes (in accordance with Article 16) imposed in the State of Registration or any jurisdiction from which such payments are made unless LESSEE is prohibited by Law from doing so, in which event LESSEE will gross up the payment amount such that the net payment received by LESSOR after any deduction or withholding equals the amounts called for under this Lease. LESSEE will also do all of the following: (a) Ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required; (b) Pay to the relevant Government Entities within the period for payment permitted by applicable Law the full amount of the deduction or withholding (including the full amount of any deduction or withholding from any additional amount paid pursuant hereto); and (c) Furnish to LESSOR within thirty (30) clays after each payment an official receipt of the relevant Government Entities involved for all amounts so deducted or withheld. 5.9 NET LEASE. 5.9.1 This Lease is a net lease and LESSEE's obligation to pay Rent and make other payments in accordance with this Lease will be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and regardless of other events, including the following: (a) any right of set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right (including any right of reimbursement) which LESSEE may have against LESSOR, Manufacturer, the Engine manufacturer or any other person for any reason, including any claim LESSEE may have for the foregoing; (b) unavailability or interruption in use of the Aircraft for any reason, including a requisition thereof or any prohibition or interference with or other restriction against LESSEE's use, operation or possession of the Aircraft (whether by Law or otherwise), any defect in title, airworthiness, merchantability, fitness for any purpose, condition, design, specification or operation of any kind or nature of the Aircraft, the ineligibility of the Aircraft for any particular use or 17
trade or for registration under the Laws of any jurisdiction or Total Loss of the Aircraft in accordance with Article 19.3; (c) insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation, receivership, administration or similar proceedings by or against LESSOR, LESSEE, Manufacturer, the Engine manufacturer or any other Person; (d) invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization of or other defect in this Lease; (e) failure or delay on the part of any party to perform its obligations under this Lease; or (f) any other circumstance which but for this provision would or might have the effect of terminating or in any other way affecting any obligation of LESSEE hereunder. 5.9.2 Nothing in Article 5.9 will be construed to limit LESSEE's rights and remedies in the event of LESSOR's breach of its warranty of quiet enjoyment set forth in Article 21.2 or to limit LESSEE's rights and remedies to pursue in a court of law any claim it may have against LESSOR or any other Person. 5.10 CURRENCY INDEMNITY. If under any applicable Law, whether as a result of a judgment against LESSEE or the liquidation of LESSEE or for any other reason, any payment hereunder is required to be made or recovered in a currency other than Dollars then, to the extent that the payment (when converted into Dollars at the "rate of exchange" on the date of payment or, in the case of a liquidation, the latest date for the determination of liabilities permitted by the applicable Law) falls short of the amount payable under this Lease, LESSEE will as a separate and independent obligation, fully indemnify LESSOR against the amount of the shortfall. If the amount received by LESSOR upon converting the payment into Dollars exceeds the amount payable under this Lease, LESSOR will remit such excess to LESSEE. For the purposes of this paragraph "rate of exchange" means the rate at which LESSOR is able on the relevant date to purchase Dollars in New York or London (at LESSOR's option) with such other currency. 5.11 LESSOR PERFORMANCE OF LESSEE OBLIGATION. If LESSEE fails to make any payment under this Lease to a third party in connection with the Aircraft or fails to perform any other obligation required under this Lease, LESSOR may (but is not required to) at its election and without waiver of its rights perform such obligation and/or pay such amount. Within five (5) Business Days after written notice to LESSEE of the amount paid by LESSOR on behalf of LESSEE, LESSEE will repay such amount to LESSOR together with Default Interest. Such payment to LESSOR will constitute additional Rent payable by LESSEE to LESSOR hereunder. Any payment, performance or compliance by LESSOR of a LESSEE obligation hereunder will not affect the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, as the case maybe. 5.12 CONSIDERATION FOR RENT AND OTHER AMOUNTS. The amount of the Rent and other payments contained herein are in consideration of LESSEE's waiver of warranties and indemnities set forth in Articles 8 and 17, respectively, and the other provisions of this Lease. 18

Nothing in this Article 8 or elsewhere in this Lease will be deemed to be a waiver by LESSEE of any rights it may have against Manufacturer, the Engine manufacturer or any other Person including, without limitation, rights LESSEE may have under Article 9 of this Lease. 25
ARTICLE 9 MANUFACTURERS' AND VENDORS' WARRANTIES 9.1 WARRANTIES. Asset forth in Article 7.2.5, at Delivery LESSOR will assign to LESSEE for the duration of the Lease Term the benefit of all warranties and indemnities given to LESSOR by Manufacturer and the Engine manufacturer. Effective on the Delivery Date, all other vendor warranties with respect to the Aircraft are hereby assigned by LESSOR to LESSEE. Additionally, LESSOR will cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner with LESSEE in order to enforce any material warranty claims and take all other actions reasonably necessary to effectively assign to LESSEE and to secure the benefits for LESSEE of such warranties. 9.2 REASSIGNMENT. On the Termination Date, the benefit of any warranty assigned by LESSOR to LESSEE pursuant to Articles 7.2.5 and 9.1 will be reassigned automatically to LESSOR or its designee (with the exception of any claims and rights of payment to LESSEE arising prior to the Termination Date). LESSEE's rights under such warranties (including LESSEE's claims and rights to payment thereunder) will revert to LESSOR during any period in which an Event of Default is continuing. Similarly, any additional warranties received by LESSEE from Manufacturer, Engine manufacturer and any other vendor or repair facility for work performed on the Aircraft, Engine or any Part during the Lease Term will be automatically assigned by LESSEE to LESSOR or its designee on the Termination Date (with the exception of any claims and rights of payment to LESSEE arising prior to the Termination Date). LESSEE at its own cost and expense will do all such things and execute such documents as may be required for these purposes. 9.3 WARRANTY CLAIMS. LESSEE will diligently and promptly pursue any valid claims it may have against Manufacturer and others under such warranties with respect to the Aircraft. 26
ARTICLE 10 OPERATION OF AIRCRAFT 10.1 COSTS OF OPERATION. LESSEE will pay all costs incurred in the operation of the Aircraft during the Lease Term and until the Termination Date, for profit or otherwise, including the costs of flight crews, cabin personnel, fuel, oil, lubricants, maintenance, insurance, storage, landing and navigation fees, airport charges, passenger service and any and all other expenses of any kind or nature, directly or indirectly, in connection with or related to the use, movement and operation of the Aircraft. The obligations, covenants and liabilities of LESSEE under this paragraph arising prior to return of the Aircraft to LESSOR will continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Lease or expiration of the Lease Term. 10.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, LESSEE agrees throughout the Lease Term and until the Termination Date to maintain operational control of the Aircraft and use the Aircraft in accordance with applicable Laws of the State of Registration and of any country, state, territory or municipality into or over which LESSEE may operate. LESSEE will not employ, suffer or cause the Aircraft to be used in any business which is forbidden by Law or in any manner which may reasonably be expected to render it liable to condemnation, destruction, seizure, or confiscation by any authority. LESSEE will not permit the Aircraft to fly to any airport or country if so doing would cause LESSEE or LESSOR to be in violation of any Law applicable to either of them or the Aircraft except as may be necessary to preserve the Aircraft or the safety, well being or life of passengers or crew, provided, however, that in such event LESSEE will take reasonable actions to remove the Aircraft from such airport or country as soon as reasonably practical. 10.3 TRAINING. LESSEE will not use the Aircraft for testing or for training of flight crew members other than LESSEE crew members and will not use the Aircraft for training any more than it utilizes for training the other aircraft in its fleet. 10.4 NO VIOLATION OF INSURANCE POLICIES. LESSEE will not use or permit the Aircraft to be used in any manner or for any purpose which is not covered by the insurance policies LESSEE is required to carry and maintain as set forth in this Lease.

This indemnity will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the 27
termination or expiration of the Lease Term for any reason or the return of the Aircraft. 10.5.2 If requested by LESSOR (but not more often than each six (6) months unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), LESSEE will provide LESSOR with a list of the airports to which LESSEE regularly operates the Aircraft or its other aircraft (in the event that the operation of such other aircraft may reasonably be expected to give rise to a lien on the Aircraft for navigation, landing, parking, storage or other similar charges). LESSEE hereby authorizes Eurocontrol (if and when applicable) or another aviation authority or airport or creditor claiming rights on the Aircraft to confirm the status of LESSEE's payments to such creditor for the Aircraft and its other aircraft, as and when requested by LESSOR. 28
ARTICLE 11 SUBLEASES 11.1 NO SUBLEASE WITHOUT LESSOR CONSENT. LESSEE WILL NOT SUBLEASE OR PART WITH POSSESSION OF THE AIRCRAFT (EXCEPT FOR MODIFICATION, MAINTENANCE, TESTING, SERVICE AND/OR REPAIR) AT ANY TIME WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESSOR (NOT TO BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD OR DELAYED) AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH REQUIREMENTS AS MAY FROM TIME TO TIME BE AGREED IN WRITING BETWEEN LESSOR AND LESSEE. 11.2 LESSOR COSTS. LESSEE will indemnify LESSOR on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred in connection with LESSOR's assessment of the subleasing proposal (whether or not LESSOR's consent to such sublease is ultimately given) and implementation of the sublease. 11.3 ANY APPROVED SUBLEASE. Any sublease approved by LESSOR will be for a term no greater than the remaining Lease Term. The applicable sublease agreement will contain provisions consistent with this Lease protecting LESSOR's title to the Aircraft, providing appropriate LESSOR disclaimers and indemnities, regarding the maintenance and repair standards for the Aircraft and concerning the insurances which will be carried by the sublessee and the circumstances which constitute a Total Loss of the Aircraft. Any such sublease will be subject and subordinate to this Lease. LESSOR will have an opportunity to review the proposed sublease agreement reasonably in advance in order to determine that it meets the requirements of this Article 11.3. In its sole and reasonable discretion, LESSOR may require an opinion of counsel in connection with such sublease, including LESSOR's right to repossess the Aircraft in the event of an Event of Default hereunder or under the sublease. LESSEE will not amend the terms of any approved sublease agreement without the prior written consent of LESSOR, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 11.4 ASSIGNMENT OF SUBLEASE. Any approved sublease will be assigned to LESSOR as security. LESSEE will deliver the original counterpart of the sublease to LESSOR and make any filings necessary to protect LESSOR's security interest. 11.5 WET LEASES. The wet leasing of the Aircraft during the Lease Term (in which LESSEE and its crews retain operational control of the Aircraft) will not be considered a sublease of the Aircraft and will be permitted without LESSOR's consent, provided that (a) the Aircraft remains registered in the State of Registration, (b) the Aircraft will be operated in accordance with applicable rules related to any Prohibited Country, (c) LESSEE provides LESSOR with either a certified copy of the applicable provisions from the wet lease agreement or an officer's certificate indicating whether LESSEE or the wet lessee will be responsible for maintaining the primary passenger, baggage and cargo liability insurance relating to operation under the wet lease and (d) LESSEE complies with Article 18.9. 11.6 CONTINUED RESPONSIBILITY OF LESSEE. LESSEE will continue to be responsible for performance of its obligations under this Lease during any period of sublease or wet lease. 29
ARTICLE 12 MAINTENANCE OF AIRCRAFT 12.1 GENERAL OBLIGATION. During the Lease Term and until the Termination Date, LESSEE alone has the obligation, at its expense, to maintain and repair the Aircraft, Engines, APU and all of the Parts (a) in accordance with the Maintenance Program, (b) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Aviation Authority, (c) in accordance with Manufacturer's type design, (d) in accordance with any other regulations or requirements necessary in order to maintain a valid Certificate of Airworthiness for the Aircraft and meet the requirements at all times during the Lease Term and upon return of the Aircraft to LESSOR for issuance of a Standard Certificate of Airworthiness for transport category aircraft issued by the FAA in accordance with FAR Part 21 (except during those periods when the Aircraft is undergoing maintenance, Modification or repairs as required or permitted by this Lease and to the extent in conflict with the requirements of the Aviation Authority) and (e) in the same manner and with the same care as used by LESSEE with respect to aircraft and engines of like make and model operated by LESSEE and without in any way discriminating against the Aircraft as compared to such other aircraft. 12.2 SPECIFIC ENGINE REQUIREMENTS. 12.2.1 No Engine will remain in an unserviceable condition for more than three (3) months unless engine restoration is ongoing and has not been suspended or delayed without reasonable technical cause and LESSEE uses commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Engine to be returned to service. 12.2.2 When replacing Parts in the Engines, LESSEE will utilize only original equipment manufacturer parts (OEM parts). The foregoing will not apply to QEC and thrust reverser Parts. 12.2.3 LESSEE will not discriminate against the Engines with respect to Overhaul build standards and life-limited Part replacements and, in any event, at each performance restoration shop visit on an Engine, LESSEE will (a) build the Engine life-limited Parts to at least 8,000 cycles remaining and (b) perform, at a minimum, a performance restoration workscope sufficient to allow such Engine to achieve at least 8,000 hours and 8,000 cycles of operation following such shop visit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LESSOR agrees that the performance restoration workscope contained in the maintenance cost per flight hour when agreed to among LESSEE, LESSOR and LESSEE's engine maintenance provider will be substituted for the performance restoration workscope described above. Failing the foregoing, LESSOR and LESSEE agree to negotiate in good faith and agree on a performance restoration workscope for the last engine shop visit which is reasonable in view of the age and condition of the Engine, the required condition at return and the cost of such restoration to LESSEE and LESSOR. 12.2.4 With respect to the last Engine shop visit of an Engine prior to return of the Aircraft, LESSEE will submit to LESSOR in advance the intended workscope of 30
such shop visit. If LESSOR requests, LESSEE will perform additional work at such shop visit at LESSOR's cost provided that if the same shall result in delay in redelivery, extension of the Lease Term or cause the Engine to be removed from service for a period in excess of the period the Engine would have been removed to revenue service absent such additional work, no Rent or other costs will be payable by LESSEE for the period which is attributable solely to LESSOR's requested work (unless and to the extent LESSOR and LESSEE shall have otherwise agreed in writing). 12.2.5 Except as otherwise agreed by the parties (including, pursuant to any side letter) LESSEE will not enter into any Engine maintenance cost per flight hour, power-by-the-horn or similar agreement with the Engine manufacturer or any other Engine maintenance facility or organization without LESSOR's prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. LESSEE will at its cost be responsible for performing all word necessary to meet the return conditions with respect to the Engines set forth in Article 23 even if such work is not covered by LESSEE's Engine maintenance agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, any such Engine maintenance agreement will provide that: (a) LESSOR will receive and retain the monthly Engine Performance Restoration Reserves paid by LESSEE until an Engine shop visit has been completed; (b) LESSEE will pay the Engine maintenance facility directly for any Engine Overhaul and repair costs in excess of the Engine Performance Restoration Reserves, including any differential between the hourly Engine Performance Restoration Reserves payable by LESSEE to LESSOR and the hourly rates charged by the Engine maintenance facility; and (c) LESSEE will pay the Engine maintenance facility directly for any services provided by the Engine maintenance facility over and above repair of the Engines, such as trend monitoring, spare engines or spare parts. 12.3 SPECIFIC OBLIGATIONS. Without limiting Article 12.1, LESSEE agrees that such maintenance and repairs will include but will not be limited to each of the following specific items: (a) performance in accordance with the Maintenance Program of all routine and non-routine maintenance work; (b) incorporation in the Aircraft of all Airworthiness Directives, all mandatory service bulletins of Manufacturer, the Engine manufacturer and other vendors or manufacturers of Parts incorporated on the Aircraft and any service bulletins which must be performed in order to maintain the warranties on the Aircraft, Engines, APU and Parts; (c) incorporation in the Aircraft of all other service bulletins of Manufacturer, the Engine manufacturer and other vendors which LESSEE schedules to adopt 31
within the Lease Term for the rest of its B737-700 / 800 aircraft fleet. It is the intent off the parties that the Aircraft will not be discriminated from the rest of LESSEE'S fleet in service bulletin compliance (including method of compliance) or other maintenance matters unless LESSEE's exclusion of the such modification is reasonable giving consideration to the remaining Lease Term and industry practice; (d) incorporation in the Maintenance Program for the Aircraft of a corrosion prevention and control program as recommended by Manufacturer and the correction of any discrepancies in accordance with the recommendations of Manufacturer and the Structural Repair Manual. In addition, all inspected areas will be properly treated with corrosion inhibitor as recommended by Manufacturer; (e) maintaining in English and keeping in an up-to-date status the records and historical documents set forth in Attachment I of Exhibit J; (f) maintaining historical records, in English, for on condition, condition-monitored, hard tine and life-limited Parts (including an FAA Form 8130 or JAA Form) from the manufacturer of such Part or a repair facility which evidence that such Part is new or overhauled and establish authenticity, total time in service and time since overhaul for such Part), the hours and cycles the Aircraft and Engines operate and all maintenance and repairs performed on the Aircraft; and (g) properly documenting all repairs, Modifications and alterations and the addition, removal or replacement of equipment, systems or components in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Aviation Authority and reflecting such items in the Aircraft Documentation, including Manufacturer's manuals, as required by such rules and regulations. In addition, all repairs to the Aircraft will be accomplished in accordance with Manufacturer's Structural Repair Manual (or FAA-approved data supported by an FAA Form 8110-3 or equivalent). All Modifications and alterations will also be accomplished in accordance with FAA-approved data supported by FAA Form 8110-3 or equivalent. 12.4 REPLACEMENT OF PARTS. 12.4.1 LESSEE, at its own cost and expense, will promptly replace all Parts which may from time to tine become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or rendered unfit or beyond economical repair (BER) for use for any reason. In the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, LESSEE may remove any Part provided that LESSEE replaces such Part as promptly as reasonably practicable. All replacement Parts will (a) be owned by LESSEE free and clear of all Security Interests(except Permitted Liens) of any kind or description (or, if not owned by LESSEE, LESSEE guarantees to LESSOR such title and clearance of all Security Interests), (b) be in airworthy condition and of at least equivalent model, service bulletin and modification status and have a value and utility at least equal to the Parts 32
replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof and (c) have a current "serviceable tag" (an FAA Form 8130 or JAA Form 1) of the manufacturer or maintenance facility providing such items to LESSEE, indicating that such Parts are new, serviceable or Overhauled. So long as a substitution meets the requirements of the Maintenance Program and Aviation Authority, LESSEE may substitute for any Part a part that does not meet the requirements of the foregoing sentence if a complying Part cannot be procured or installed within the available ground time of the Aircraft and as soon as practicable the noncomplying part is removed and replaced by a complying Part. With respect to replacement modules in an Engine, the replacement module will not have been previously operated at a higher thrust rating than the replaced module. As set forth in Article 12.2.2, LESSEE may not replace any Part in the Engines, excluding QEC and thrust reversers, with a part other than an original equipment manufacturer part (an OEM part). With respect to replacement modules in an Engine, the replacement module will not have been previously operated at a higher thrust rating than the replaced module. 12.4.2 All Parts removed from the Airframe, any Engine or the APU will remain the property of LESSOR and subject to this Lease no matter where located, until such time as such Parts have been replaced by Parts (which have been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe, such Engine or the APU) which meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified above and title to such replacement Parts has passed to LESSOR under the Laws of the State of Registration and the lex situs. To the extent permitted by the Laws of the State of Registration and the lex situs it is the intent of LESSOR and LESSEE that without further act and immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated, installed or attached to the Airframe, an Engine or the APU as above provided, (a) title to the removed Part will thereupon vest in LESSEE, free and clear of all rights of LESSOR and LESSOR Liens and LESSOR will, upon LESSEE's reasonable request, provide LESSEE with a bill of sale thereto, (b) title to the replacement Part will thereupon vest in LESSOR free and clear of all rights of LESSEE free and clear of all rights of LESSEE and liens (other than LESSOR Liens) and LESSEE will, upon LESSOR's reasonable request, provide LESSOR with a bill of sale thereto and (c) such replacement Part will become subject to this Lease and be deemed to be a Part hereunder to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe, such Engine or the APU. 12.5 REMOVAL OF ENGINES. 12.5.1 If an Engine is removed for testing, service, repair, maintenance, Overhaul work, alterations or modifications, title to such Engine will at all times remain vested in LESSOR. 12.5.2 LESSEE will be entitled to remove any of the Engines from the Aircraft and install another engine or engines on the Aircraft, provided that LESSEE complies with each of the following obligations: 33
(a) the insurance requirements set forth in Article 18 and Exhibit C are in place; (b) LESSEE ensures that the identification plates referred to in Article 15 are not removed from any Engine upon such Engine being detached from the Aircraft; and (c) title to the Engine remains with LESSOR free from all Security Interests (except Permitted Liens) regardless of the location of the Engine or its attachment to or detachment from the Aircraft. 12.6 REMOVAL OF APU. 12.6.1 If the APU is removed for testing, service, repair, maintenance, Overhaul work, alterations or modifications, title to the APU will at all times remain vested in LESSOR. 12.6.2 LESSEE will be entitled to remove the APU from the Aircraft and install another auxiliary power unit on the Aircraft, provided that LESSEE complies with each of the following obligations: (a) the insurance requirements set forth in Article 18 and Exhibit C are in place; (b) LESSEE ensures that the identification plates referred to in Article 15 are not removed from the APU; and (c) title to the APU remains with LESSOR free from all Security Interests (except Permitted Liens) regardless of the location of the APU or its attachment to or detachment from the Aircraft. 12.7 POOLING. OF ENTRIES, APU AND PARTS. With LESSOR's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, LESSEE may subject the Engines, APU and Parts to normal interchange or pooling agreements with responsible international scheduled commercial air carriers customary in the airline industry and entered into by LESSEE in the ordinary course of its business with respect to its entire B737-700 / 800 fleet so long as (a) in the case of pooling of an Engine or APU, such Engine or APU is returned to LESSEE within one hundred eighty (180) days, (b) no transfer of title to the Engine or APU occurs, (c) all other terms of this Lease continue to be observed with respect to the Engines, APU or Parts, including but not limited to Articles 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 and (d) LESSEE continues to be fully responsible to LESSOR for the performance of all of its obligations hereunder. 12.8 INSTALLATION OF ENGINES ON OTHER AIRCRAFT. Any Engine removed from the Aircraft may be installed on another aircraft in LESSEE's fleet which utilizes engines of the same type as the Engine only if one of the situations described in this Article 12.8 exists: 12.8.1 LESSEE or LESSOR has title to such other aircraft free and clear of all Security Interests (except Permitted Liens). 34
12.8.2 LESSEE, LESSOR and all of the Creditors of LESSEE of such aircraft enter into an engines cooperation agreement in form and substance acceptable to LESSOR in which each party agrees to recognize one another's rights in the engines. LESSEE will reimburse LESSOR and LESSOR's Lender for their reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in negotiating and finalizing engine cooperation agreement arrangements with LESSEE and its Creditors. 12.8.3 Such other aircraft is subject to a Creditor Agreement (but no other Security Interests except Permitted Liens) which by its terms expressly or effectively states that such Creditor and its successors and assigns will not acquire any right, title or interest in any Engine by reason of such Engine being installed on such aircraft provided the owner of such Engine provides reciprocal title recognition provisions. To evidence the foregoing, at or before Delivery, LESSEE will provide LESSOR with an officer's certificate as to this matter (and officer's certificate will be provided during the Lease Term with respect to other Creditor Agreements regarding aircraft entering LESSEE's operating fleet subsequent to Delivery). LESSEE hereby agrees that if LESSOR's title to an Engine is in fact impaired under any such Creditor Agreement, such impairment will be a Total Loss of such Engine and the provisions of Article 19.5 will apply. To the extent another Creditor Agreement contains such provisions, then LESSOR hereby agrees for the benefit of the Creditor of Such Creditor Agreement that neither LESSOR nor its successors or assigns will acquire or claim any right, title or interest in any engine in which LESSEE or another Creditor has an interest as a result of such engine being installed on the Airframe. 12.9 ENGINE THRUST RATING. if an Engine is utilized by LESSEE on the Aircraft or on any other airframe (or if the Engine is utilized by any sublessee or user under a pooling arrangement in accordance with this Lease) at a thrust rating greater than the thrust rating set forth in Exhibit A, LESSEE will promptly notify LESSOR and the amounts of Engine Performance Restoration Reserves and, if applicable, Engine LLP Reserves, set forth in Article 5.4.1 will be increased in an amount consistent with Engine manufacturer's published data. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Engine Performance Restoration Reserves shall be calculated with respect to any relevant period based on the thrust rating at which the Engine is actually operated, from time to time, during such period. 12.10 MODIFICATIONS. 12.10.1 No modification, alteration, addition or removal to the Aircraft ("MODIFICATION") expected to cost over **Material Redacted** or deviation from the Aircraft's original type design or configuration will be made without the prior written consent of LESSOR, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The term Modification does not include Airworthiness Directives Or Manufacturer's recommended service bulletins, for which LESSOR's consent is not required. **Material Redacted**. 12.10.2 LESSOR may review LESSEE's proposed designs, plans, engineering drawings and diagrams, and flight and maintenance manual revisions for any proposed 35
Modification. If requested by LESSOR, LESSEE will furnish LESSOR (at LESSEE's expense) with such documents in final form and any other documents required by Law, as a result of such Modification. All Modifications incorporated on the Aircraft will be properly documented in the Aircraft Documentation and be fully approved by the Aviation Authority. 12.10.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, no Modification will be made which has the effect of decreasing the utility or value of the Aircraft or invalidating any warranty applicable to the Aircraft. 12.10.4 No Modification will be made by LESSEE if an Event of Default exists and is continuing hereunder. 12.10.5 Unless otherwise agreed by LESSOR in writing, all permanent or structural Modifications will promptly become a part of the Aircraft and LESSEE relinquishes to LESSOR all rights and title thereto. However, all temporary and non-structural Modifications will remain the property of LESSEE and, at LESSOR's request and LESSEE's cost, will be removed from the Aircraft prior to return of the Aircraft, with LESSEE restoring the Aircraft to the condition it was in prior to the Modification in a manner cosmetically acceptable to LESSOR (considering international passenger airline standards). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such removal will be permitted without LESSOR's permission after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, without the requirement of any further act or notice, all right, title and interest in such Modifications will immediately vest in LESSOR. 12.10.6 LESSOR will bear no liability for the cost of Modifications of the Aircraft whether in the event of grounding or suspensions of certification, or for any other cause. 12.11 PERFORMANCE OF WORK BY THIRD PARTIES. Whenever maintenance and repair work on the Aircraft or Engines will be regularly performed by a Person other than LESSEE, such Person will be an FAA-authorized repair station. 12.12 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. 12.12.1 Commencing with a report furnished ten (10) days after the end of the calendar month in which Delivery occurs, LESSEE will furnish to LESSOR a Monthly Report in English in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K.. Each Monthly Report will be furnished within ten (10) days after the end of each calendar month, except that the Monthly Report pertaining to the last month (or any portion thereof) of this Lease will be furnished to LESSOR on the Termination Date. 12.12.2 Once each eighteen months during the Lease Term, LESSEE will provide LESSOR with an updated Technical Evaluation Report for the Aircraft in the form and substance of Exhibit M, as revised. 36
12.12.3 From time to time, LESSEE will provide LESSOR with such other technical information or documents as LESSOR may reasonably request. 12.13 INFORMATION REGARDING MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. Upon reasonable notice to LESSEE, LESSEE will provide LESSOR with access to the Maintenance Program for the Aircraft, as reasonably requested by LESSOR. 12.14 LESSOR RIGHTS TO INSPECT AIRCRAFT. On reasonable notice, LESSOR. and/or its authorized agents or representatives will have the right to inspect the Aircraft and Aircraft Documentation. LESSOR agrees that such requests will be coordinated with LESSEE so as to cause the minimum practical disturbance to LESSEE's operation or its personnel. LESSEE agrees to cooperate with LESSOR in making the Aircraft and Aircraft Documentation available to such authorized technical teams. LESSOR will have no duty to make any such inspection and will not incur any liability or obligation by reason of (and LESSEE's indemnity obligations pursuant to Article 17 will apply notwithstanding) making or not making any-such inspection or by reason of any reports it receives or any reviews it may make of the Aircraft records. 37
ARTICLE 13 USE OF RESERVES 13.1 AIRFRAME RESERVES. LESSOR will reimburse LESSEE from the Airframe Reserves for the actual cost of performing all task as described in the MPD (including systems, zonal, CPCP, SID, structural and lubrication) performed during the Airframe heavy checks (performed at **Material Redacted** and **Material Redacted** years) any non-routine tasks and the rectification of and deficiencies resulting from such inspection (including materials), with work performed for all other causes excluded, including those causes set forth in Article 13.5. Subject to Article 16.1 and excluding exchange fees and handling, packaging and shipping charges, reimbursement will be made up to the amount in the Airframe Reserves on the commencement date of the structural check. 13.2 ENGINE PERFORMANCE RESTORATION RESERVES. 13.2.1 LESSOR will reimburse LESSEE from the Engine Performance Restoration Reserves for the actual cost associated with performance restoration of the Basic Engine during completed Engine shop visits (i.e. heavy maintenance visits) requiring off-wing teardown and/or disassembly as described in Article 12.2.3, with work performed for all other causes excluded, including those causes set forth in Article 13.5. Subject to Article 16.1 and excluding exchange fees and handling, packaging and shipping charges, reimbursement for an Engine will be made up to the amount in the Engine Performance Restoration Reserves applicable to such Engine at the time of removal of such Engine. 13.2.2 Reimbursement from the Engine Performance Restoration Reserves will be limited as to each module of such Engine in accordance with the following percentages of the remaining total amount in the Engine Performance Restoration Reserves for such Engine: **Material Fan and Accessory Gearbox Module Redacted** **Material High Pressure Compressor Redacted** **Material High Pressure Turbine Redacted** **Material Low Pressure Turbine Redacted** 13.2.3 LESSEE will not enter into any Engine maintenance cost per flight hour, power-by-the-hour or similar agreement for the Engines with the Engine manufacturer or any other Engine maintenance facility or organization without LESSOR's consent. 13.3 ENGINE LLP RESERVES. LESSOR will reimburse LESSEE from the Engine LLP Reserves for an Engine for the actual out-of-pocket materials cost without overhead, LESSEE 38
mark-up or profit factor associated with the replacement of life-limited Parts in such Engine during completed Engine shop visits (i.e. heavy maintenance visits) requiring off-wing teardown and/or disassembly as described in Article 12.2.3, with work performed for all other causes excluded, including those causes set forth in Article 13.5. Subject to Article 16.1 and excluding exchange fees and handling, packaging and shipping charges, reimbursement for replacement of life-limited Parts in an Engine will be made up to the amount in the Engine LLP Reserves applicable to such Engine at the time of removal of such Engine. 13.4 REIMBURSEMENT. LESSEE will be entitled to reimbursement from the Reserves after the work is completed and the Airframe or Engine has left the repair agency, by submitting invoices and proper documentation within six (6) months after completion of the work. LESSOR shall reimburse LESSEE from the Reserves promptly and in any event within thirty (30) days after LESSEE has delivered to LESSOR such invoices and proper documentation. LESSEE may only seek reimbursement from the Airframe Reserves one time in any calendar year. For the Airframe, proper documentation includes a list of all routine and non-routine work cards with corresponding references to the MPD and an itemized labor and materials report. For the Engine, proper documentation includes a description of the reason for removal, a shop teardown report, a shop findings report, a full description of the workscope and complete disk records for the Engine both prior to and after the shop visit. Both the invoice supplied by the Engine repair facility and that submitted by LESSEE to LESSOR with respect to an Engine will state whether or not credits were provided due to life remaining on any removed Engine Parts and the amount of any such credits will be itemized. 13.5 REIMBURSEMENT ADJUSTMENT. By way of example, among the exclusions from reimbursement are those items resulting from repairs covered by LESSEE's or a third party's insurance, (deductibles being for the account of LESSEE) or warranties or required as a result of an Airworthiness Directive, manufacturers service bulletin, negligent maintenance or installation, improper operations, misuse, neglect, accident, incident, ingestion, or other accidental cause. Reimbursement from the Reserves will not be available for the quick engine change (QEC) Parts, thrust reversers or any of their associated components. All invoices subject to reimbursement from LESSOR will be reduced (by adjustment between LESSEE and LESSOR retroactively if necessary) by the actual amounts received by LESSEE on account of such work from responsible third parties or other sources, such as insurance proceeds, manufacturer warranties, guarantees, concessions and credits (including, with respect to Engines, credits due to life remaining on any removed Engine Parts). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that accident, incident or other accidental cause necessitates a repair; and during the course of such repair the workscope results in performance restoration to the Engine or installation of LLPs with more life remaining, the performance restoration portion or LLP life betterment of such repair workscope may be claimed by LESSEE from Engine Performance Restoration Reserves or Engine LLP Reserves (as applicable). 13.6 COSTS IN EXCESS OF RESERVES. LESSEE will be responsible for payment of all costs in excess of the amounts reimbursed hereunder. If on any occasion the balance in the Airframe Reserves, Engine Performance Restoration Reserves for a particular Engine or Engine LLP Reserves for a particular Engine (at the time of the structural check, in the case of the Airframe, or at the time of removal, in the case of an Engine, the Landing Gear and the APU) is insufficient to satisfy a claim for reimbursement in respect of the Airframe or such Engine, as 39
applicable, the shortfall may not be carried forward or made the subject of any further claim for reimbursement. 13.7 REIMBURSEMENT AFTER TERMINATION DATE. LESSEE may not submit any invoice for reimbursement from the Reserves after the Termination Date unless on or prior to such date LESSEE has notified LESSOR in writing that such outstanding invoice will be submitted after the Termination Date and the anticipated amount of such invoice. So long as LESSEE has provided such notice to LESSOR, LESSEE may then submit outstanding invoices at any time within six (6) months after the Termination Date. Subject to the foregoing, any balance remaining in the Reserves on the Termination Date will be retained by LESSOR, **Material Redacted**. 40
ARTICLE 14 TITLE AND REGISTRATION 14.1 TITLE TO THE AIRCRAFT DURING LEASE TERM. Title to the Aircraft will be and remain vested in LESSOR. LESSOR and LESSEE intend this Lease to be a "true lease". LESSEE will have no right, title or interest in the Aircraft except as provided in this Lease. 14.2 REGISTRATION OF AIRCRAFT. LESSEE at its sole cost and expense will (a) register and maintain registration of the Aircraft in the name of LESSOR at the register of aircraft in the State of Registration and (b) from time to time take all other steps then required by Law (including the Geneva Convention if applicable) or by practice, custom or understanding or as LESSOR may reasonably request to protect and perfect LESSOR's interest in the Aircraft and this Lease in the State of Registration or in any other jurisdictions in or over which LESSEE may operate the Aircraft. 14.3 FILING OF THIS LEASE. To the extent permitted by Law and in accordance with the requirements of the Law from time to time, LESSEE at its sole cost and expense will cause this Lease to be kept, filed, recorded and refiled or rerecorded in the State of Registration and in any other offices necessary to protect LESSOR's rights hereunder. 14.4 EVIDENCE OF REGISTRATION AND FILINGS. As LESSOR may reasonably request from time to time (but not more often than once annually unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), LESSEE will furnish to LESSOR an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to LESSOR of the registrations and filings required hereunder. 41

ARTICLE 16 TAXES 16.1 GENERAL OBLIGATION OF LESSEE. Except as set forth in Article 16.2, LESSEE agrees to pay promptly when due, and to indemnify and hold harmless LESSOR on a full indemnity basis from, all license and registration fees and all taxes, fees, levies, imposts, duties, charges, deductions or withholdings of any nature (including without limitation any value added, franchise, transfer, sales, gross receipts, use, business, excise, turnover, personal property, stamp or other tax) together with any assessments, penalties, fines, additions to tax or interest thereon, however or wherever imposed (whether imposed upon LESSEE, LESSOR, on all or part of the Aircraft, the Engines or otherwise), by any Government Entity or taxing authority in the U.S., Panama or any foreign country or by any international taxing authority (including the City or County of Los Angeles), upon or with respect to, based upon or measured by any of the following (collectively, "TAXES"): (a) the Aircraft, Engines, APU or any Parts; (b) the use, operation or maintenance of the Aircraft or carriage of passengers or freight during the Lease Term and until the Termination Date, (c) this Lease, the payments due hereunder and the terms and conditions hereof; and (d) the ownership, financing, delivery, import or export, return, sale, payment of Total Loss Proceeds or other disposition of the Aircraft. 16.2 EXCEPTIONS TO INDEMNITY. The indemnity provided for in Article 16.1 does not extend to any of the following Taxes: (a) Taxes imposed by the U.S. or the State of California on the net income, gross receipts, capital, turnover or net worth and franchise taxes of LESSOR; (b) Taxes in jurisdictions in which LESSOR would have been subject to Tax to the extent that the parties had not consummated this transaction; provided, however, that if LESSEE's operation of the Aircraft to a jurisdiction and the operation of other aircraft owned by LESSOR to such jurisdiction causes LESSOR to be liable for any tax, then LESSEE will pay the portion of such Tax attributed to LESSEE's operations in such jurisdiction; (c) Taxes imposed in connection with a LESSOR's voluntary transfer or other disposition of all or any part of its interest in the Aircraft (or any part thereof) or this Lease other than resulting from an Event of Default which shall have occurred and be continuing or other foreclosure, seizure or sale of the Aircraft resulting from LESSEE's action or inaction; (d) Taxes imposed as a direct result of any LESSOR Lien; 44
(e) any additional or incremental tax which arise solely as a result of LESSOR's failure to provide information necessary for LESSEE to properly complete and file any tax return or request an otherwise legally available exemption; (f) Taxes solely attributable a sale or transfer of the Aircraft not resulting from an act or omission of LESSEE; (g) Taxes attributable to the period prior to Delivery or after the Termination Date; or (h) Taxes attributable to LESSOR's gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Lease. 16.3 AFTER-TAX BASIS. The amount which LESSEE is required to pay with respect to any Taxes indemnified against under Article 16.1 is an amount sufficient to restore LESSOR on an after-tax basis to the same position LESSOR would have been in had such Taxes not been incurred. LESSEE may satisfy its obligations under this Article 16 by paying and indemnifying LESSOR for Taxes payable by LESSEE hereunder or grossing up payments made pursuant to this Lease in an amount sufficient to allow LESSOR to pay such Taxes and receive the full benefit of this Lease provided LESSEE will not he obligated to pay such Tax obligations twice as a result of gross-up and indemnity. 16.4 TIMING OF PAYMENT. Any amount payable to LESSOR pursuant to this Article 16 will be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefor from LESSOR accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount so payable; provided, however, that such amount need not be paid by LESSEE prior to the earlier of (a) the date any Tax is payable to the appropriate Government Entity or taxing authority or (b) in the case of amounts which are being contested by LESSEE in good faith or by LESSOR pursuant to Article 16.5, the date such contest is finally resolved. 16.5 CONTESTS. If a claim is made against LESSOR for Taxes with respect to which LESSEE is liable for a payment or indemnity under this Lease, LESSOR will promptly give LESSEE notice in writing of such claim; provided, however, that LESSOR's failure to give notice will not relieve LESSEE of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure impairs or precludes LESSEE's ability to contest the claim or to the extent such failure results in additional liability to LESSEE. So long as (a) a contest of such Taxes does not involve any danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or any interest therein, (b) if LESSOR so requests, LESSEE has provided LESSOR with an opinion of independent tax counsel that a reasonable basis exists for contesting such claim and (c) adequate reserves have been made for such Taxes or, if required, an adequate bond has been posted, then LESSOR at LESSEE's written request will in good faith, with due diligence and at LESSEE's expense, contest (or permit LESSEE to contest in the name of LESSEE or LESSOR) the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes. 45
16.6 REFUNDS. Upon receipt by LESSOR of a refund of all or any part of any Taxes (including any deductions or withholdings referred to in Article 5.8) which LESSEE has paid, LESSOR will pay to LESSEE the net amount of such Taxes refunded. 16.7 COOPERATION IN FILING TAX RETURNS. LESSEE and LESSOR will cooperate with one another in providing information which may be reasonably required to fulfill each party's tax filing requirements and any audit information request arising from such filing. 16.8 TAX RESTRUCTURING. In the event that any withholding, value added tax or similar tax or duty is payable in the State of Registration or any jurisdiction from which such payments originate in respect of any Rent, Reserves or other amounts payable pursuant to this Lease, LESSEE and LESSOR will cooperate in good faith to restructure this Lease in a manner which minimizes or eliminates any such tax including a synthetic lease through another country which has favorable tax treatment of such payments. 16.9 SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. The representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements of LESSEE provided for in this Article 16 will survive the Termination Date. 46
ARTICLE 17 INDEMNITIES 17.1 GENERAL INDEMNITY. Except as set forth in Article 17.2, LESSEE agrees to indemnify and hold harmless LESSOR and its officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders (individually an "INDEMNITIES" and collectively "INDEMNITEES") from any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses (including legal fees, costs and related expenses) of every kind and nature, whether or not any of the transactions contemplated by this Lease are consummated (collectively "EXPENSES"), which are imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee and which are in any way relating to, based on or arising out of any of the following: (a) this Lease or any transactions contemplated hereby, (b) the operation, possession, use, non-use, control, leasing, subleasing, maintenance, storage, overhaul, testing or inspections of the Aircraft, any Engine, the APU or any Part (whether by LESSEE, any sublessee or any other Person other than LESSOR or any Person claiming by or through LESSOR in violation of LESSOR's covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in Article 21.2) during the Lease Term and until the Termination Date or the acceptance flights at return, whether or not the same is in compliance with the terms of this Lease, including without limitation claims for death, personal injury, property damage, other loss or harm to any Person and claims relating to any Laws, including without limitation environmental control, noise and pollution laws, rules or regulations; (c) the manufacture, design, acceptance, improper rejection, delivery, return, sale after an Event of Default, import, export, condition, repair, modification, servicing, customer, product support, information or training provided by Manufacturer and other vendors, airworthiness, registration, reregistration, performance, sublease, merchantability, fitness for use, substitution or replacement of an Engine, APU or any Part by LESSEE under this Lease or other transfer of use or possession of the Aircraft, an Engine, the APU or any Part, including under a pooling or interchange arrangement, including without limitation latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable and patent, trademark or copyright infringement; (d) the prevention or attempt to prevent the arrest, confiscation, seizure, taking in execution, impounding, forfeiture or detention of the Aircraft, or in securing the release of the Aircraft; or (e) as a consequence of any Default or Event of Default by LESSEE. The foregoing indemnity by LESSEE is intended to include and cover any Expense to which an Indemnitee may be subject (in contract, tort, strict liability or under any other theory) regardless of the negligence, active or passive or any other type, of such Indemnitee, so long as such Expense does not fall within any of the exceptions listed in Article 17.2. 47
17.2 EXCEPTIONS TO GENERAL INDEMNITIES.

The amount which LESSEE will be required to pay with respect to any Expense indemnified against under Article 17.1 will be an amount sufficient to restore the Indemnitee, on an after-tax basis, to the same position such Indemnitee would have been in had such Expense not been incurred after taking into account the amount of any credits, deductions or other Tax benefits or savings realized by such Indemnitee. 17.4 TIMING OF PAYMENT. It is the intent of the parties that each Indemnitee will have the right to indemnification for Expenses hereunder as soon as a claim is made and as soon as an Expense is incurred, whether or not such claim is meritorious and whether or not liability is established (but subject to Article 17.8). LESSEE will pay an Indemnitee for Expenses pursuant to this Article 17 within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity. 17.5 SUBROGATION. Upon the payment in full of any indemnity pursuant to this Article 17 by LESSEE, LESSEE will be subrogated to any right of the Indemnitee in respect of the matter against which such indemnity has been made. 48
17.6 NOTICE. Each Indemnitee and LESSEE will give prompt written notice one to the other of any liability of which such party leas knowledge for which LESSEE is, or may be, liable under Article 17.1; provided, however, that failure to give such notice will not terminate any of the rights of Indemnitees under this Article 17 except to the extent that LESSEE has been prejudiced by the failure to provide such notice. 17.7 REFUNDS. If any Indemnitee obtains a recovery of all or any part of any amount which LESSEE has paid to such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee will pay to LESSEE the net amount recovered by such Indemnitee. 17.8 DEFENSE OF CLAIMS. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing LESSEE and its insurers will have the right (in each such case at LESSEE's sole expense) to investigate or, provided that LESSEE or its insurers have not reserved the right to dispute liability with respect to any insurance policies pursuant to which coverage is sought, defend or compromise any claim covered by insurance for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Article 17.1 and each Indemnitee will cooperate with LESSEE or its insurers with respect thereto. If LESSEE or its insurers are retaining attorneys to handle such claim, such counsel must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitees. If not, the Indemnitees will have the right to retain counsel of their-choice at LESSEE's expense. 17.9 SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATION. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, the provisions of this Article 17 will survive the Termination Date and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any breach by LESSOR or LESSEE of the terms of this Lease, the termination of the lease of the Aircraft to LESSEE under this Lease or the repudiation by LESSOR or LESSEE of this Lease. 49
ARTICLE 18 INSURANCE 18.1 CATEGORIES OF INSURANCE. Throughout the Lease Term and until the Termination Date, LESSEE will, at its own expense, effect and maintain in full force and effect the types of insurance and amounts of insurance (including deductibles) described in Exhibit C through such brokers and with such insurers as maybe approved by LESSOR (acting reasonably and in consultation with the other providers of LESSEE's aircraft), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, in London or New York or such other insurance markets as mutually agreed upon by the parties. 18.2 WRITE-BACK OF ANY DATE RECOGNITION EXCLUSION. In the event any of LESSEE's insurances (either the primary insurance or the reinsurance) contain any date recognition exclusion clause or similar clause excluding from such insurance coverage damage to any property (including the Aircraft) or death or injury to any person on account of accidents, incidents or occurrences caused by date recognition or other Year 2000-related problems, LESSEE at its cost will obtain for the benefit of itself and LESSOR the broadest write-back available in the insurance market where Lessee places its insurance with respect to such exclusion. 18.3 INSTALLATION OF THIRD PARTY ENGINE. If LESSEE installs an engine not owned by LESSOR on the Aircraft, either (a) LESSEE's hull insurance on the Aircraft will automatically increase to such higher amount as is necessary in order to satisfy both LESSOR's requirement to receive the Agreed Value in the event of a Total Loss and the amount required by the third party engine owner or (b) separate additional insurance on such engine will attach in order to satisfy separately the requirements of the LESSEE to such third party engine owner. 18.4 INSURANCE FOR INDEMNITIES. The insurance referred to in Article 18.1 will in each case include and insure (to the extent of the risks covered by the policies) the indemnity provisions of Article 17 and LESSEE will maintain such insurance of the indemnities for a minimum of two (2) years following the Termination Date. 18.5 INSURANCE REQUIRED BY MANUFACTURER. During the Lease Term, LESSEE will carry such insurance as may be required by Manufacturer in connection with LESSOR's assignment of Manufacturer's warranties and product support to LESSEE. 18.6 RENEWAL. Prior to the expiration or termination date of any insurance required hereunder, LESSEE will provide LESSOR with fax confirmation from LESSEE's insurance brokers that renewed certificates of insurance evidencing the renewal or replacement of such insurance and complying with Exhibit C will be issued on the termination date of the prior certificate. Within seven (7) days after such renewal, LESSEE will furnish its brokers' certificates of insurance to LESSOR. 18.7 ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS BY LESSOR. If LESSOR. assigns all or any of its rights under this Lease as permitted by this Lease or otherwise disposes of any interest in the Aircraft to any other Person as permitted by this Lease, LESSEE will, upon request, procure that such 50
Person hereunder be substituted as loss payee for LESSOR (without duplication in respect of hull, all risks, hull war and allied perils risk coverage) and/or be added as an additional assured in the policies effected hereunder and enjoy the same rights and insurance enjoyed by LESSOR under such policies. LESSOR will nevertheless continue to be covered by such policies. 18.8 DEDUCTIBLES. If there is a material adverse change in the financial condition of LESSEE which LESSOR reasonably believes will cause LESSEE to be unable to pay the deductible upon the occurrence of a partial loss of the Aircraft or an Engine, then LESSOR (acting reasonably and in consultation with the other providers of LESSEE's aircraft) may require LESSEE at LESSEE's expense to lower its deductibles on the insurance maintained hereunder to a level which is available on commercially reasonable terms in the insurance market. 18.9 INSURANCE FOR WET LEASE OPERATIONS. In the event LESSEE is performing wet lease operations with the Aircraft pursuant to Article 11.5 and the wet lessee is carrying the primary passenger, baggage and cargo liability insurance with respect to the flights, then such insurance must meet the requirements of Exhibit C, including with respect to the amounts of coverage, naming of LESSOR as an additional insured and inclusion of the other endorsements set forth in Exhibit C. Moreover, LESSEE will at such times carry contingent passenger, baggage and cargo liability insurances for such flights. Prior to commencement of wet lease operations for a particular wet lessee where wet lessee will provide such coverage, LESSOR will receive certificates of insurance from the insurance brokers for LESSEE and, if applicable, the wet lessee evidencing such coverages. 18.10 OTHER INSURANCE. LESSOR may (acting reasonably and in consultation with the Other providers of LESSEE's aircraft) from time to time by notice to LESSEE require LESSEE at LESSEE's expense to effect such other insurance or such variations to the terms of the existing insurance as may then be customary in the airline industry for aircraft of the same type as the Aircraft operated by similarly situated operators and at the time commonly available in the insurance market. 18.11 INFORMATION. LESSEE will provide LESSOR with any information reasonably requested by LESSOR from time to time concerning the insurance maintained with respect to the Aircraft or in connection with any claim being made or proposed to be made thereunder. 18.12 CURRENCY. All proceeds of insurance pursuant to this Lease will be payable in Dollars except as may be otherwise agreed by LESSOR except that third party liability coverage may be payable in the currency of the claim. 18.13 GROUNDING OF AIRCRAFT. If at any time any of the insurance required pursuant to this Lease will cease to be in full force and effect, LESSEE will promptly ground the Aircraft and keep the Aircraft grounded until such time as such insurance is in full force and effect again. 18.14 FAILURE TO INSURE. If at any time LESSEE fails to maintain insurance in compliance with this Article 18, LESSOR will be entitled but not bound to do any of the following (without prejudice to any other rights which it may have under this Lease by reason of such failure): 51
(a) to pay any premiums due or to effect or maintain insurance meeting the requirements hereof or otherwise remedy such failure in such manner as LESSOR considers appropriate (and LESSEE will upon demand reimburse LESSOR in full for any amount so expended in that connection); or (b) at any time while such failure Is continuing, to require the Aircraft to remain at any airport or (as the case may be), proceed to and remain at any airport designated by LESSOR, until such fall tire is remedied. 18.15 REINSURANCE. Any reinsurance will be maintained with reinsures and brokers approved by LESSOR (acting reasonably and in consultation with the other providers of LESSEE's aircraft). Such reinsurance will contain each of the - -following terms and will in all other respects (including amount) be satisfactory to LESSOR: (a) the same terms as the original insurance; (b) a cut-through and assignment clause satisfactory to LESSOR (acting reasonably and in consultation with the other providers of LESSEE's aircraft) and in accordance with industry practice; and (c) payment will be made notwithstanding (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or dissolution of any of the original insurers and/or (ii) that the original insurers have made no payment under the original insurance policies. 18.16 LIMIT ON HULL IN FAVOR OF LESSEE. LESSEE may carry hull all risks or hull war and allied perils on the Aircraft in excess of the Agreed Value (which is payable to LESSOR.) only to the extent such excess insurance which would be payable to LESSEE in the event of a Total Loss does not exceed **Material Redacted** of the Agreed Value and only to the extent that such additional insurance will not prejudice the insurances required herein or the recovery by LESSOR thereunder. LESSEE agrees that it will not create or permit to exist any liens or encumbrances over the insurances, or its interest therein, except as constituted by this Lease. 52

Such replacement auxiliary power unit will be the "APU" as defined herein and the auxiliary power unit which sustained such Total Loss will cease to be the "APU". 19.6.2 LESSEE agrees at its own expense to take such action as LESSOR may reasonably request in order that any such replacement APU becomes the property of LESSOR and is leased hereunder on the same terms as the destroyed APU. LESSEE's obligation to pay Rent will continue in full force and effect, but an amount equal to the Net Total Loss Proceeds received by LESSOR with respect to such destroyed APU will, subject to LESSOR's right to deduct therefrom any amounts then due and payable by LESSEE under this Lease, promptly be paid to LESSEE. 19.7 OTHER LOSS OR DAMAGE. 19.7.1 If the Aircraft or any Part thereof suffers loss or damage not constituting a Total Loss of the Aircraft or the Airframe or any Engine or the APU, all the obligations of LESSEE under this Lease (including payment of Rent) will continue in full force. 56
19.7.2 In the event of any loss or damage to the Aircraft or Airframe which does not constitute a Total Loss of the Aircraft or the Airframe, or any loss or damage to an Engine or the APU which does not constitute a Total Loss of such Engine or the APU, LESSEE will at its sole cost and expense fully repair the Aircraft, Engine or APU in order that the Aircraft, Engine or APU is placed in an airworthy condition and substantially the same condition as it was prior to such loss or damage. All repairs will be performed in a manner which preserves and maintains all warranties and service life policies to the same extent as they existed prior to such loss or damage. LESSEE will notify LESSOR promptly of any loss, theft or damage to the Aircraft for which the cost of repairs is estimated to exceed **Material Redacted**, together with LESSEE's proposal for carrying out the repair. In the event that LESSOR does not agree with LESSEE's proposals for repair, LESSOR will so notify LESSEE within two (2) Business Days after its receipt of such proposal. LESSEE and LESSOR will then consult with Manufacturer and LESSEE and LESSOR agree to accept as conclusive, and be bound by, Manufacturer's directions or recommendations, as to the manner in which to carry out such repairs. If Manufacturer declines to give directions or recommendations, LESSEE will carry out the repairs in accordance with the reasonable directions of LESSOR. 19.8 COPY OF INSURANCE POLICY.

If the Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or the APU is requisitioned for use by any Government Entity, LESSEE will promptly notify LESSOR of such requisition. All of LESSEE's obligations hereunder will continue as if such requisition had not occurred. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments received by LESSOR or LESSEE from such Government Entity will be paid over to or retained by LESSEE.

Six (6) months prior to the Expiration Date (and in an updated form at return of the Aircraft), LESSEE will provide LESSOR with a Technical Evaluation Report in the form and substance of Exhibit M, as revised, and, in addition upon LESSOR's request, will make copies available of (a) drawings of the interior configuration of the Aircraft both as it presently exists and as it will exist at return, (b) an Airworthiness Directive status list, (c) a service bulletin incorporation list, (d) rotable tracked, hard-time and life-limited component listings, (e) a list of LESSEE-initiated modifications and alterations, (f) interior material burn certificates, (g) access to the Aircraft Maintenance Program, (h) the complete workscope for the checks, inspections and other work to be performed prior to return, (i) a forecast of the checks, inspections and other work to be performed within 18 months after return of the Aircraft, (j) a list of all no-charge service bulletin kits with respect to the Aircraft which were ordered by LESSEE from Manufacturer or the Engine manufacturer, (k) current Engine disk sheets and a description of the last shop visit for each Engine and (l) any other data which is reasonably requested by LESSOR. 23.4 RETURN LOCATION. LESSEE at its expense will return the Aircraft, Engines, APU, Parts and Aircraft Documentation to LESSOR at Los Angeles, California or to such other airport as may be mutually agreed to by LESSEE and LESSOR. 23.5 FULL AIRCRAFT DOCUMENTATION REVIEW. For the period commencing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed redelivery date and continuing until the date on which the Aircraft is returned to LESSOR in the condition required by this Lease, LESSEE will provide 65
for the review of LESSOR and/or its representative all of the Aircraft records and historical documents described in Exhibit L, in one central room with access to telephone, photocopy, fax and internet connections at the Aircraft return location. 23.6 COPY OF LESSEE'S MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. At return of the Aircraft and for use by LESSOR only for the purpose of bridging the Aircraft from LESSEE's Maintenance Program to the maintenance program of the next operator, LESSEE will provide LESSOR with a copy of LESSEE's Maintenance Program. 23.7 AIRCRAFT INSPECTION. 23.7.1 During the maintenance checks performed immediately prior to the proposed redelivery and at the actual return of the Aircraft, LESSOR and/or its representatives will have an opportunity to conduct a systems functional and operational inspection of the Aircraft (and other types of reasonable inspections based upon the Aircraft type, age, use and other known factors with respect to the Aircraft) and a full inspection of the Aircraft Documentation (including records and manuals), all to LESSOR's reasonable satisfaction. Any deficiencies from the Aircraft return condition requirements set forth in this Article 23 will be corrected by LESSEE at its cost prior to the acceptance flight described in Article 23.7.2. 23.7.2 Immediately prior to the proposed redelivery of the Aircraft, LESSEE will carry out for LESSOR and/or LESSOR's representatives an Aircraft acceptance flight in accordance with Manufacturer's standard flight operation check flight procedures or, if agreed to in writing by LESSOR, in accordance with an airline acceptance flight procedure, either of which will be for the duration necessary to perform such check flight procedures but in any event not less than two (2) hours. Flight costs and fuel will be furnished by and at the expense of LESSEE. Any deficiencies from the Aircraft return condition requirements set forth in this Article 23 will be corrected by LESSEE at its cost prior to return of the Aircraft. 23.7.3 To the extent that the ground inspection and acceptance flight extend beyond the Expiration Date, the Lease Term will be deemed to have been automatically extended and the obligations of LESSEE hereunder (including Article 23.13.3) will continue on a day-to-day basis until the Aircraft is accepted by LESSOR executing the Return Acceptance Receipt in the form of Exhibit J. In the event the Lease is extended solely as a result of work performed at LESSOR's request pursuant to Article 23.10.1, LESSEE will perform such additional work at LESSOR's cost provided that if the same shall result in delay in redelivery, extension of the Lease Term or cause the Aircraft to be removed from service for a period in excess of the period the Aircraft would have been removed to revenue service absent such additional work, no Rent or other costs will be payable by LESSEE for the period which is attributable solely to LESSOR's requested work (unless and to the extent LESSEE shall have otherwise agreed in writing). 66
23.8 CERTIFICATE OF AIRWORTHINESS MATTERS. 23.8.1 The Aircraft will possess a current Certificate of Airworthiness issued by the Aviation Authority (although this Certificate of Airworthiness may later be substituted by the Export Certificate of Airworthiness or equivalent if requested by LESSOR pursuant to Article 23.12). In addition, even if LESSEE must perform engineering, maintenance and repair work on the Aircraft beyond the requirements of Article 12, the Aircraft at return must be in the condition required in order to meet the requirements for issuance of a U.S. Standard Certificate of Airworthiness for transport category aircraft issued by the FAA in accordance with FAR Part 21 and, in addition, to meet the operating requirements of FAR Part 121 with no restrictions imposed. 23.8.2 At LESSOR's request, LESSEE at its cost will demonstrate that the Aircraft meets the requirements for issuance of the U.S. Standard Certificate of Airworthiness for transport category aircraft specified in Article 23.8.1 by delivering to LESSOR at LESSOR's option either an actual U.S. Standard Certificate of Airworthiness (if the Aircraft is to be registered in the U.S.) or a letter acceptable to LESSOR signed by an FAA Designated Airworthiness Representative (DAR) or another Person acceptable to LESSOR stating that the DAR or such Person has inspected the Aircraft and Aircraft Documentation (including records and manuals) and has found that the Aircraft meets the requirements for issuance of a U.S. Standard Certificate of Airworthiness for transport category aircraft in accordance with FAR Part 21 and, in addition, meets the operating requirements of FAR Part 121 with no restrictions imposed. 23.8.3 If the Aircraft is to be registered in a country other than in the U.S. after return from LESSEE, LESSOR may in its sole discretion waive the requirements of Article 23.8.2 and instead require that LESSEE at its expense (to the extent such expense is no greater than that which LESSEE would have incurred pursuant to Articles 23.8.1 and 23.8.2, with any additional expenses being for LESSOR's account) put the Aircraft in a condition to meet the requirements for issuance of a Certificate of Airworthiness of the aviation authority of the next country of register. 23.9 GENERAL CONDITION OF AIRCRAFT AT RETURN. 23.9.1 The Aircraft, Engines, APU and Parts will have been maintained and repaired in accordance with the Maintenance Program, the rules and regulations of the Aviation Authority and this Lease. 23.9.2 Aircraft Documentation (including records and manuals) will have been maintained in an up-to-date status, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Aviation Authority and the FAA and this Lease and in a form necessary in order to meet the requirements of Article 23.8.1. The records and historical documents set forth in Attachment 1 of Exhibit J will be in English. If LESSEE subscribes to Manufacturer's on-line data access services, LESSEE must 67
nonetheless return the Aircraft manuals with all current revisions provided by Manufacturer in CD, microfilm or other format acceptable to LESSOR. 23.9.3 The Aircraft will be in the same working order and condition as at Delivery (subject to the other provisions of this Article 23, reasonable wear and tear from normal flight operations excepted), with all pilot discrepancies and deferred maintenance items cleared on a terminating action basis. 23.9.4 The Aircraft will be airworthy (conform to type design and be in a condition for safe operation), with all Aircraft equipment, components and systems operating in accordance with their intended use and within limits approved by Manufacturer, the Aviation Authority and the FAA. 23.9.5 The Aircraft interior (including cabin and windows) and exterior will be clean and cosmetically acceptable to LESSOR, with all compartments free of foreign objects, dirt, grease, fluids, stains, grime, cracks, tears and rips and ready to be placed into immediate commercial airline operations. 23.9.6 No special or unique Manufacturer, Engine manufacturer or Aviation Authority inspection or check requirements which are specific to the Aircraft or Engines (as opposed to all aircraft or engines of their types) will exist with respect to the Airframe, Engines and Aircraft equipment, components and systems. 23.9.7 All repairs to the Aircraft will have been accomplished in accordance with Manufacturer's Structural Repair Manual (or FAA-approved data supported by FAA Form 8110-3) for the Aircraft. 23.9.8 All modifications and alterations to the Aircraft will have been accomplished in accordance with FAA-approved data supported by FAA Form 8110-3. 23.9.9 The Aircraft will be returned with LESSOR's Engines and APU installed and with the same equipment as at Delivery, subject only to those replacements, additions and Modifications permitted under this Lease. To the extent LESSEE performed a Modification which cost in excess of **Material Redacted** and LESSOR did not approve such Modification in accordance with Article 12.10.1, LESSOR may require LESSEE to return the Aircraft in its original condition prior to such Modification. 23.9.10 All Airworthiness Directives which are issued prior to the date of return of the Aircraft and require compliance (either by means of repetitive inspections, modifications or terminating action) prior to return of the Aircraft to LESSOR or within **Material Redacted** after the Termination Date will have been complied with on the Aircraft on a terminating action basis at LESSEE's cost. Airworthiness Directives which do not have a terminating action will be accomplished at the highest level of inspection or modification possible. If, after using best efforts, LESSEE is unable to acquire the material, parts or components necessary to accomplish such Airworthiness Directive, LESSEE will pay to LESSOR upon return of the Aircraft the estimated cost of terminating such 68
Airworthiness Directive. If the estimated cost cannot be mutually agreed upon by LESSEE and LESSOR, LESSEE and LESSOR will each obtain an estimate from a reputable FAA approved maintenance facility (unaffiliated with LESSEE or LESSOR) and the estimated cost will be the average of the two estimates. 23.9.11 All modifications which must be performed prior to the date of return of the Aircraft or within **Material Redacted** after the Termination Date in order to meet the FAA requirements for FAR Part 121 operations will have been incorporated on the Aircraft at LESSEE's cost. 23.9.12 The Aircraft will be in compliance with Manufacturer's Corrosion Prevention and Control Program (CPCP) specified for the model type by Manufacturer. 23.9.13 If any waivers, deviations, dispensations, alternate means of compliance, extensions or carry-overs with respect to maintenance or operating requirements, repairs or Airworthiness Directives are granted by the Aviation Authority or permitted by the Maintenance Program, LESSEE at its sole cost and expense will nonetheless perform such maintenance or operating requirements, repairs or Airworthiness Directives as if such waivers, deviations, dispensations, alternate means of compliance, or extensions or carry-overs did not exist. 23.9.14 The Aircraft will be free from any Security Interest except LESSOR's Liens and no circumstance will have so arisen whereby the Aircraft is or could become subject to any Security Interest or right of detention or sale in favor of the Aviation Authority, any airport authority, or any other authority. 23.9.15 All no-charge vendor and Manufacturer's service bulletin kits received by LESSEE for the Aircraft but not installed thereon will be on board the Aircraft as cargo. All no-charge vendor and Manufacturer's service bulletin kits ordered by LESSEE but not yet received will, upon receipt by LESSEE, be forwarded as instructed by LESSOR. At LESSOR's request, any other service bulletin kit which LESSEE paid for will also be delivered to LESSOR on board the Aircraft, but LESSOR will reimburse LESSEE for its actual out-of-pocket costs for such kit, unless LESSEE purchased such kit as part of its implementation of a service bulletin on its fleet of aircraft of the same type as the Aircraft but had not yet installed such kit on the Aircraft, in which case such kit will be furnished free of charge to LESSOR. 23.9.16 The Aircraft will be free of any leaks found to be outside of maintenance manual limits and any damage resulting therefrom. All repairs will have been performed on a permanent basis in accordance with the applicable manufacturer's instructions. 23.9.17 The Aircraft fluid reservoirs (including oil, oxygen, hydraulic and water) will be serviced to full and the waste tank serviced in accordance with Manufacturer's instructions. Fuel tanks will be at least as full as at Delivery. 69
23.10 CHECKS PRIOR TO RETURN. Immediately prior to return of the Aircraft to LESSOR, LESSEE at its expense will do each of the following: 23.10.1 Have performed, by an FAA-approved repair station, a Return Check ("RETURN CHECK") means the accomplishment of all work cards specified in the Maintenance Program and the MPD which (a) are necessary to clear the Aircraft of all such tasks for **Material Redacted**, or (b) are required to be performed at lesser intervals than **Material Redacted**. If pursuant to the then-current MPD, the performance interval for a task is shorter than every **Material Redacted**, then such task will also be performed. All non-routine tasks generated as a result of the performance of these work cards must also be performed. For avoidance of doubt, if the inspection interval pursuant to the then-current MPD for a particular work card only refers to one or two of the three measurement tests, then the most restrictive measurement test or tests referred to in the then-current MPD will be utilized in determining whether the task must be performed.). LESSEE will also weigh the Aircraft. Any discrepancies revealed during such inspection will be corrected in accordance with Manufacturer's maintenance and repair manuals or FAA-approved data. LESSEE agrees to perform during such check any other work reasonably required by LESSOR (and not otherwise required under this Lease) and LESSOR will reimburse LESSEE for such work at LESSEE's preferred customer rates. 23.10.2 Perform an internal and external corrosion inspection and correct any discrepancies in accordance with the recommendations of Manufacturer and the Structural Repair Manual. In addition, all inspected areas will be properly treated with corrosion inhibitor as recommended by Manufacturer. 23.10.3 Remove LESSEE's exterior markings, including all exterior paint, by pneumatically scuff sanding (or stripping, if reasonably determined by LESSOR taking into account the condition of the exterior paint) the paint from the fuselage, empennage and Engine cowlings, and clean, reseal, refinish, prepare (including application of alodine or another corrosion inhibitor) and prime the surfaces to be painted, all in accordance with Manufacturer's and paint manufacturer's recommendations. LESSEE will then repaint the fuselage, empennage and Engine cowlings in the colors and logo specified by LESSOR. Such painting will be accomplished in such a manner as to result in a uniformly smooth and cosmetically acceptable aerodynamic surface. All external placards, signs and markings will be properly attached, free from damage, clean and legible. **Material Redacted**. 23.10.4 Clean the exterior and interior of the Aircraft. 23.10.5 If reasonably required by LESSOR, apply touch tip paint to the interior of the Aircraft, including flight deck, and replace missing, broken or illegible placards. 70
23.10.6 In accordance with Article 23.9.7, permanently repair damage to the Aircraft that exceeds Manufacturer's limits and replace any non-flush structural patch repairs installed on the Aircraft with flush-type repairs unless a flush type repair is unavailable. 23.10.7 With LESSOR and/or its representatives present, perform a full and complete hot and cold section videotape borescope on each Engine and its modules in accordance with the Engine manufacturer's maintenance manual. 23.10.8 If the Engine historical and technical records and/or condition trend monitoring data of any Engine indicate an acceleration in the rate of deterioration in the performance of an Engine, LESSEE will correct, to LESSOR's reasonable satisfaction, such conditions which are determined to be causing such accelerated rate of deterioration. 23.10.9 With LESSOR and/or its representatives present, accomplish a power assurance run on the Engines. LESSEE will evaluate the Engine performance and record the Engine power assurance test conditions and results on the Return Acceptance Receipt. 23.10.10 LESSEE will provide evidence to LESSOR's reasonable satisfaction that the Engine historical and technical records, borescope inspection, trend monitoring and other checks specified in Article 23.10.9 do not reveal any condition which would cause the Engines or any module to be unserviceable, beyond serviceable limits or serviceable with an increased frequency of inspection or with calendar time, flight hour or flight cycle restrictions under the Engine manufacturer's maintenance manual. LESSEE will correct any discrepancies in accordance with the guidelines set out by the Engine manufacturer which maybe discovered during such inspection. 23.10.11 In the event the Engine historical and technical records, borescope inspection, trend monitoring and other checks specified in Article 23.10.9 result in a dispute regarding the conformity of an Engine with the requirements of this Article 23, LESSEE and LESSOR will consult with the Engine manufacturer and follow the Engine manufacturer's recommendations (including the accomplishment of an Engine test cell operational check) with regard to determining if such Engine complies with the requirements of this Article 23 and the manner in which any discrepancies from the requirements of this Article 23 will be rectified. 23.10.12 If the APU historical and technical records and/or condition trend monitoring data indicate an acceleration in the rate of deterioration in the performance of the APU, LESSEE will correct, to LESSOR's reasonable satisfaction, such conditions which are determined to be causing such accelerated rate of deterioration. 23.10.13 With LESSOR and/or its representatives present, perform a full and complete hot and cold section videotape borescope on the APU in accordance with the APU manufacturer's procedures. LESSEE will provide evidence to LESSOR's 71
satisfaction that the borescope inspection does not reveal any condition which would cause the APU to be unserviceable, beyond serviceable limits or serviceable with an increased frequency of inspection or with calendar time, flight hour or flight cycle restrictions. LESSEE will correct any discrepancies in accordance with the guidelines set out by the APU manufacturer which may be discovered during such inspection. 23.11 PART LIVES. At return, the condition of the Aircraft will be as follows: 23.11.1 The Aircraft will have zero (0) hours consumed since the last Return Check or equivalent check per the MPD (excluding hours consumed on the acceptance flight and any ferry flight) sufficient to clear the Aircraft for **Material Redacted** of operation. 23.11.2 Each Engine will meet all of the following: (a) Each Engine will have **Material Redacted** remaining until its next anticipated removal (based upon the Engine manufacturer's estimated mean time between removals for engines of the same type as the Engines). (b) Each Engine will have a remaining EGT margin sufficient to permit the operation of such Engine for the hours and cycles set forth in the preceding subparagraph, based upon the historical experience of LESSEE. (c) Each Part of an Engine which has a hard time limit will have **Material Redacted** of such Part's full allotment of hours and cycles remaining to operate until its next scheduled Overhaul or removal. However, if **Material Redacted** of such hard time Part's full allotment of hours and cycles remaining is less than **Material Redacted**, then such hard time Part will be returned with at least **Material Redacted** remaining. If such hard time Part's full allotment of hours and cycles is less than **Material Redacted**, then such hard time Part will be returned with zero (0) hours and cycles since its last Overhaul or refurbishment, as applicable. (d) Each Part of an Engine which has a life-limit will have at least **Material Redacted** remaining until removal. If such life-limited Part's full allotment of hours and cycles is less than **Material Redacted**, then such life-limited Part will be returned new. (e) No life-limited Part of an Engine or APU will have more hours or cycles consumed than such Engine's data plate. 23.11.3 The APU will have **Material Redacted** consumed since the last hot section refurbishment (excluding hours consumed on the acceptance flight and any ferry flight). 72
In addition, at return LESSEE will pay LESSOR an amount equal to the number of hours consumed on the APU at return since the last hot section refurbishment multiplied by an APU hot section refurbishment calculated as follows: such APU hot section refurbishment cost price per hour will be the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the expected cost of the next APU hot section refurbishment cost by (b) the full allotment of hones between hot section refurbishments as approved by the MPD. If LESSEE and LESSOR are unable to agree on the expected cost of the next scheduled APU hot section refurbishment, such cost will be established by taking the average of the price quotes submitted by two (2) reputable FAA-approved APU hot section refurbishment cost facilities (unaffiliated with LESSEE or LESSOR), one selected by LESSEE and the other selected by LESSOR. 23.11.4 The Landing Gear will have **Material Redacted** of hours/cycles/ calendar time (whichever is the more limiting factor) pursuant to the MPD remaining until the next Overhaul or scheduled removal In addition, at return LESSEE will pay LESSOR an amount equal to the number of hours/cycles/days (whichever is the more limiting factor) consumed on each Landing Gear at return since the last Overhaul multiplied by a Landing Gear Overhaul cost per hour/cycle/day calculated as follows: such Landing Gear Overhaul cost price per hour/cycle/day will be the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the expected cost of the next Landing Gear Overhaul by (b) the full allotment of hours/cycles/days between scheduled Overhauls for such Landing Gear as approved by the MPD. If LESSEE and LESSOR are unable to agree on the expected cost of the next scheduled Landing Gear Overhaul, such cost will be-established by taking the average of the price quotes submitted by two (2) reputable FAA-approved landing gear Overhaul facilities (unaffiliated with LESSEE or LESSOR), one selected by LESSEE and the other selected by LESSOR. 23.11.5 Each Part of the Airframe or the APU which has a hard time (hour/cycle) limit to Overhaul or removal pursuant to the MPD will have **Material Redacted** of such Part's full allotment of hours and cycles remaining to operate until its next scheduled Overhaul or removal pursuant to the MPD. However, if **Material Redacted** of such hard time Part's full allotment of hours and cycles remaining is less than **Material Redacted**, then such hard time Part will be returned with at least **Material Redacted** remaining to operate until its next scheduled Overhaul or refurbishment pursuant to the MPD. If such hard time Part's full allotment of hours and cycles between Overhauls or refurbishment pursuant to the MPD is less than **Material Redacted**, then such hard time Part will be returned zero (0) hours and zero (0) cycles out of Overhaul (except hours accumulated on any acceptance or ferry flight). 73
23.11.6 Each life-limited Part of the Airframe or the APU will have **Material Redacted** of such Part's full allotment of hours and cycles remaining to operate until removal pursuant to the MPD. However, if **Material Redacted** of such life-limited Part's full allotment of hours and cycles remaining is less than **Material Redacted**, then such life-limited Part will be returned with at least **Material Redacted** remaining to operate pursuant to the MPD. If such life-limited Part's full allotment of hours and cycles remaining to operate pursuant to the MP[) is less than **Material Redacted**, then such life-limited Part will be returned with 100% of its total approved hours and cycles remaining. 23.11.7 Each Part which has a calendar limit will have **Material Redacted** remaining to operate pursuant to the MPD after return of the Aircraft to LESSOR. If a Part has a total approved life pursuant to the MPD **Material Redacted**, then such Part will be returned with 100% of its total approved life remaining. 23.11.8 No Part of the Aircraft or Engine (excluding life-limited Parts on the Engine, which are covered by Article 23.11 2(e)) will have total hours and total cycles since new greater than **Material Redacted** of that of the Airframe **Material Redacted**. 23.11.9 Each Aircraft tire and brake will **Material Redacted** (except for the acceptance flight and any ferry flight). 23.12 EXPORT AND DEREGISTRATION OF AIRCRAFT. At LESSOR's request, LESSEE at its cost will (a) provide an Export Certificate of Airworthiness or its equivalent from the State of Registration so that the Aircraft can be exported to the country designated by LESSOR, (b) assist with deregistration of the Aircraft from the register of aircraft in the State of Registration, (c) assist with arranging for prompt confirmation of such deregistration to be sent by the registry in the State off Registration to the next country of registration and (d) perform any other acts reasonably required by LESSOR in connection with the foregoing. **Material Redacted** 23.13 LESSEE'S CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS. In the event that LESSEE does not return the Aircraft to LESSOR on the Expiration Date and in the condition required by this Article 23 for any reason (whether or not the reason is within LESSEE's control) unless such delay is as a result of work performed at the request of LESSOR pursuant to Article 23.10.1 or is otherwise over and above LESSEE's obligations pursuant to this Article 21: 23.13.1 the obligations of LESSEE under this Lease will continue in full force and effect on a day-to-day basis until such return. This will not be considered a waiver of LESSEE's Event of Default or any right of LESSOR hereunder. 23.13.2 **Material Redacted**. 23.13.3 LESSEE will fully indemnify LESSOR on demand for all losses (including consequential damages), liabilities, actions, proceedings, costs and expenses thereby suffered or incurred by LESSOR and, in addition, until such time as the Aircraft is redelivered to LESSOR and put into the condition required by this Article 23, instead of paying the Rent specified in Article 5.3, LESSEE will pay 74
twice the amount of Rent for each clay from the scheduled Expiration Date until the Termination Date (the monthly Rent payable under Article 5.3 1 will be prorated based on the actual number of days in the applicable month). Payment will be made upon presentation of LESSOR's invoice. 23.13.4 LESSOR may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to accept the return of the Aircraft prior to the Aircraft being put in the condition required by this Article 23 and thereafter have any such non-conformance corrected at such time as LESSOR may deem appropriate (but within ninety (90) days following the return of the Aircraft) and at commercial rates then-charged by the Person selected by LESSOR to perform such correction. Any direct expenses incurred by LESSOR for such correction will be payable by LESSEE within fifteen (15) days following the submission of a written statement by LESSOR to LESSEE, identifying the items corrected and setting forth the expense of such corrections. LESSEE's obligation to pay such amounts will survive the Termination Date. 23.14 AIRPORT AND NAVIGATION CHARGES. LESSEE will ensure that at return of the Aircraft any and all airport, navigation and other charges which give rise or may if unpaid give rise to any lien, right of detention, right of sale or other Security Interest in relation to the Aircraft, Engine, APU or any Part have been paid and discharged in full and will at LESSOR's request produce evidence thereof satisfactory to LESSOR, except to the extent being contested in good faith provided LESSEE shall have agreed in writing to pay any such charges determined pursuant to such contest to be due and owing to the relevant authority. 23.15 RETURN ACCEPTANCE RECEIPT. Upon return of the Aircraft in accordance with the terms of this Lease, LESSEE will prepare and execute two (2) Return Acceptance Receipts in the form and substance of Exhibit J and LESSOR will countersign and return one such Return Acceptance Receipt to LESSEE. In addition, LESSEE and LESSOR will execute a Lease Termination for filing with the FAA evidencing termination of this Lease. 23.16 INDEMNITIES AND INSURANCE. The indemnities and insurance requirements set forth in Articles 17 and 18, respectively, will apply to Indemnitees and LESSOR's representatives during return of the Aircraft, including the ground inspection and acceptance flight. With respect to the acceptance flight, LESSOR's representatives will receive the same protections as LESSOR on LESSEE's Aviation and Airline General Third Party Liability Insurance. 23.17 STORAGE. At LESSOR's request, LESSEE will continue to lease the Aircraft under this Lease for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days. During this period, LESSEE will have no obligations under this Lease except, at LESSOR's cost, to park and store the Aircraft in accordance with Manufacturer's recommended short term storage program at one of LESSEE's principal maintenance facilities in the State of Registration and to maintain all insurance on the Aircraft. LESSEE will not utilize the Aircraft for any reason during this period. 75
ARTICLE 24 ASSIGNMENT 24.1 NO ASSIGNMENT BY LESSEE. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, NO ASSIGNMENT, NOVATION, TRANSFER, MORTGAGE OR OTHER CHARGE MAY BE MADE BY LESSEE OF ANY OF ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRCRAFT, ANY ENGINE OR PART, OR THIS LEASE. 24.2 SATE OR ASSIGNMENT BY LESSOR. 24.2.1 Subject to LESSEE's rights pursuant to this Lease, LESSOR may at any time and without LESSEE's consent sell, assign or transfer its rights, interest and obligations hereunder or with respect to the Aircraft to a third party ("LESSOR'S ASSIGNEE"). For a period of two (2) years after such sale or assignment and at LESSEE's cost, LESSEE will continue to name LESSOR as an additional insured under the Aviation and Airline General Third Party Liability Insurance specified in Exhibit C. 24.2.2 The term "LESSOR" as used in this Lease means the lessor of the Aircraft at the time in question. In the event of the proper sale of the Aircraft and transfer of LESSOR's rights and obligations under this Lease, LESSOR's Assignee will become "LESSOR" of the Aircraft under this Lease and the transferring party (the prior "LESSOR") will be relieved of all liability to LESSEE under this Lease for obligations arising on and after the date the Aircraft is sold. LESSEE will acknowledge and accept LESSOR's Assignee as the new "LESSOR" under this Lease and will look solely to LESSOR's Assignee for the performance of all LESSOR obligations and covenants under this Lease arising on and after the Aircraft sale date provided such transfer, sale or assignment is in conformity with the requirements of this Article 24. 24.3 LESSOR'S LENDER. Subject to LESSEE's rights pursuant to this Lease, LESSOR may at any time and without LESSEE's consent grant security interests over the Aircraft and assign the benefit of this Lease to a lender ("LESSOR'S LENDER") as security for LESSOR's obligations to LESSOR's Lender. Accordingly, if LESSOR's Lender requires, as a condition to providing financing, any reasonable, nonsubstantive modification of this Lease, LESSEE agrees to enter into an agreement so modifying this Lease. 24.4 LESSEE COOPERATION. On request by LESSOR, LESSOR's Assignee or LESSOR's Lender, LESSEE will execute all such documents (such as a lease assignment agreement) as LESSOR, LESSOR's Assignee or LESSOR's Lender may reasonably require to confirm LESSEE's obligations under this Lease and obtain LESSEE's acknowledgment that LESSOR is not in breach of the Lease. LESSEE will provide all other reasonable assistance and cooperation to LESSOR, LESSOR's Assignee and LESSOR's Lender in connection with any such sale or assignment or the perfection and maintenance of any such security interest, including, at LESSOR's cost, making all necessary filings and registrations in the State of Registration and providing all opinions of counsel with respect to matters reasonably requested 76
by LESSOR, LESSOR's Lender or LESSOR's Assignee. LESSOR will reimburse LESSEE for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs in reviewing documents required by LESSOR or LESSOR's Lender. 24.5 PROTECTIONS. 24.5.1 **Material Redacted**. 24.5.2 LESSOR will obtain for the benefit of LESSEE an acknowledgment from any LESSOR's Assignee or LESSOR's Lender that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, such Person and any Person lawfully claiming through such Person will not interfere with LESSEE's quiet, peaceful use and enjoyment of the Aircraft. 24.5.3 **Material Redacted**. 24.5.4 LESSOR agrees that any LESSOR's Assignee or LESSOR's Lender will not be an international scheduled air carrier which competes with LESSEE. 24.5.5 **Material Redacted**. 24.5.6 **Material Redacted**. 24.5.7 Wherever the term "LESSOR" is used in this Lease in relation to any of the provisions relating to disclaimer, title and registration, indemnity and insurance contained in Articles 8, 14, 17 and 18, respectively, or with respect to Article 20.2.8, the term "LESSOR" will be deemed to include LESSOR's Assignee and LESSOR's Lender, if applicable. For avoidance of doubt, in the event of LESSOR's sale or financing of the Aircraft, the disclaimer and indemnity provisions contained in Articles 8 and 17 will continue to be applicable after the sale or assignment to International Lease Finance Corporation, as well as being applicable to LESSOR's Assignee and LESSOR's Lender. 77
ARTICLE 25 DEFAULT ON LESSEE 25.1 LESSEE NOTICE TO LESSOR. LESSEE will promptly notify LESSOR if LESSEE becomes aware of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. 25.2 EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

If instituted by LESSEE, the same will be an immediate Event of Default. If instituted by another Person, the same will be an Event of Default if not dismissed, remedied or relinquished within sixty (60) days; (n) any order, judgment or decree is entered by any court of competent jurisdiction appointing a receiver, trustee or liquidator of LESSEE or a substantial part of its property, or if a substantial part of LESSEE's property is to be sequestered.

If instituted by another Person, the same will bean Event of Default if not dismissed, remedied or relinquished within sixty (60) days; (o) any indebtedness for borrowed moneys or a guarantee or similar obligation owed by LESSEE with an unpaid balance of at least **Material Redacted** is properly declared due before its stated maturity or LESSEE is properly in default beyond any applicable grace period under any agreement pursuant to which LESSEE has the right to possess and operate any aircraft; or (p) LESSEE is in default under any other lease or agreement between LESSEE and LESSOR and the same is not cured within its specified cure period. 25.3 LESSOR'S GENERAL RIGHTS. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, LESSOR may do all or any of the following at its option (in addition to such other rights and remedies which LESSOR may have by statute or otherwise but subject to any requirements of applicable Law): (a) terminate this Lease by giving written notice to LESSEE; (b) require that LESSEE immediately cease flying the Aircraft and leave it parked in its then-current location by giving written notice to LESSEE, in which case LESSEE's obligations under this Lease will continue (including the obligations set forth in Articles 17 and 18); (c) require that LESSEE immediately move the Aircraft to an airport or other location designated by LESSOR and park the Aircraft there by giving written 79
notice to LESSEE, in which case LESSEE's obligations under this Lease will continue (including the obligations set forth in Articles 17 and 18); (d) take possession of the Aircraft. If LESSOR takes possession of the Aircraft, it may enter upon LESSEE's premises where the Aircraft is located without liability. Upon repossession of the Aircraft, LESSOR will then be entitled to sell, lease or otherwise deal with the Aircraft as if this Lease had never been made. LESSOR will be entitled to the full benefit of its bargain with LESSEE; (e) for LESSEE's account, do anything that may reasonably be required to cure any default and recover from LESSEE all reasonable costs, including legal fees and expenses incurred in doing so and Default Interest; (f) proceed as appropriate to enforce performance of this Lease and to recover any damages for the breach hereof, including the amounts specified in Article 25.5; or (g) apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit and any other security deposits held by LESSOR pursuant to any other agreements between LESSOR and LESSEE to any amounts due. 25.4 DEREGISTRATION AND EXPORT OF AIRCRAFT. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, LESSOR may take all steps necessary to deregister the Aircraft in and export the Aircraft from the State of Registration. 25.5 LESSEE LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES. If an Event of Default occurs, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, LESSOR has the right to recover from LESSEE and LESSEE will pay LESSOR within two (2) Business Days after LESSOR's written demand, all of the following: (a) all amounts which are then due and unpaid hereunder and which become due prior to the earlier of LESSOR's recovery of possession of the Aircraft or LESSEE making an effective tender thereof; (b) any losses suffered by LESSOR because of LESSOR's inability to place the Aircraft on lease with another lessee or to otherwise utilize the Aircraft on financial terms as favorable to LESSOR as the terms hereof or, if LESSOR elects to dispose of the Aircraft, the funds arising from a sale or other disposition of the Aircraft are not as profitable to LESSOR as leasing the Aircraft in accordance with the terms hereof would have been (and LESSOR will be entitled to accelerate any and all Rent which would have been due from the date of LESSOR's recovery or repossession of the Aircraft through the Expiration Date) which rent shall be discounted to present value less any amounts (i) in respect of a lease, which over its term shall be received by LESSOR discounted to present value as set forth above or (ii) in the case of a sale or other disposition, the amounts which were received by LESSOR is a result of such sale or other disposition (or if not relet or sold, less an amount equal to the fair market rental 80
value of the aircraft for the balance of the Lease Term determined by an independent appraiser acceptable to LESSOR and LESSEE or chosen by a court); (c) all costs associated with LESSOR's exercise of its remedies hereunder, including but not limited to repossession costs, legal fees, Aircraft storage costs, Aircraft re-lease or sale costs; (d) any amount of principal, interest, fees or other sums paid or payable on account of funds borrowed in order to carry any unpaid amount; (e) any loss, premium, penalty or expense which may be incurred in repaying funds raised to finance the Aircraft. or in unwinding any financial instrument relating in whole or in part to LESSOR's financing of the Aircraft; (f) any loss, cost, expense or liability sustained by LESSOR due to LESSEE's failure to redeliver the Aircraft in the condition required by this Lease; and (g) any other loss, damage, expense, cost or liability which LESSOR suffers or incurs as, a direct result of the Event of Default and/or termination of this base, including (but without duplication of amounts due and payable pursuant to (f) above) an amount sufficient to compensate LESSOR for any loss of LESSOR's residual interest in the Aircraft caused by LESSEE's default. 25.6 WAIVER OF DEFAULT. By written notice to LESSEE, LESSOR may at its election waive any Default or Event of Default and its consequences and rescind and annul any prior notice of termination of this Lease. The respective rights of the parties will then be as they would have been had no Default or Event of Default occurred and no such notice been given. 25.7 PRESENT VALUE OF PAYMENTS. In calculating LESSOR's damages hereunder, upon an Event of Default all Rent and other amounts which would have been due hereunder during the Lease Term if an Event of Default had not occurred will be calculated on a present value basis using a discounting rate of **Material Redacted** per annum discounted to the earlier of the date on which LESSOR obtains possession of the Aircraft or LESSEE makes an effective tender thereof. 25.8 USE OF "TERMINATION DATE". For avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that if this Lease terminates and the Aircraft is repossessed by LESSOR due to an Event of Default, then, notwithstanding the use of the term "Termination Date" in this Lease, the period of the Lease Term and the "Expiration Date" will be utilized in calculating the damages to which LESSOR is entitled pursuant to Article 25.5. For example, it is agreed and understood that LESSOR is entitled to receive from LESSEE the Rent and the benefit of LESSEE's insurance and maintenance of the Aircraft until expiration of the Lease Term. 81

As permitted by Section 410.40 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, the parties hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the Central District of California and the State of California Superior or Municipal Court in Los Angeles, California.

The parties will give copies to one another, in advance if possible, of all news, articles and other releases provided to the public media regarding this Lease or the Aircraft. 28.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY. LESSEE hereby irrevocably appoints LESSOR as its attorney for the purpose of putting into effect the intent of this Lease following an Event of Default, including without limitation, the return, repossession, deregistration and exportation of the Aircraft. To evidence this appointment, LESSEE has executed the Power of Attorney in the form of Exhibit G. LESSEE will take all steps required under the Laws of the State of Registration to provide such power of attorney to LESSOR. 28.3 LESSOR PERFORMANCE FOR LESSEE. The exercise by LESSOR of its remedy of performing a LESSEE obligation hereunder is not a waiver of and will not relieve LESSEE from the performance of such obligation at any subsequent time or from the performance of any of its other obligations hereunder. 28.4 LESSOR'S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS. Any obligation of LESSOR under this Lease to pay or release any amount to LESSEE is conditioned upon (a) all amounts then due and payable by LESSEE to LESSOR under this Lease or under any other agreement between LESSOR and LESSEE having been paid in full and (b) no Default or Event of Default having occurred and continuing hereunder at the time such payment or release of payment is payable to LESSEE. 28.5 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Any amounts paid or recovered in respect of LESSEE liabilities hereunder may be applied to Rent, Default Interest, fees or any other amount due hereunder in such proportions, order and manner as LESSOR determines. 28.6 USURY LAWS. The parties intend to contract in strict compliance with the usury Laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the U.S. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Operative Documents, LESSEE will not be obligated to pay Default Interest or other interest in excess of the maximum non-usurious interest rate, as in effect from time to time, which may by applicable Law be charged, contracted for, reserved, received or collected by LESSOR in connection with the Operative Documents. During any period of time in which the then-applicable highest lawful rate is lower than the Default Interest rate, Default Interest will accrue and be payable at such highest lawful rate; however, if at later times such highest lawful rate is greater than the Default Interest rate, then LESSEE will pay Default Interest at the highest lawful rate until the Default Interest which is paid by LESSEE equals the amount of interest that would have been payable in accordance with the interest rate set forth in Article 5.7. 28.7 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY BY LESSOR. LESSOR may delegate to any Person(s) all or any of its authority to perform or exercise powers or discretion vested in it by this Lease according to the terms of the Lease in LESSOR's reasonable discretion. 84
28.8 CONFIDENTIALITY. The Operative Documents and all non-public information (including financial information obtained pursuant to Article 22) obtained by either party about the other are confidential and are between LESSOR and LESSEE only and will not be disclosed by a party to third parties (other than to such party's auditors or legal advisors; as required in connection with any filings of this Lease in accordance with Article 14; in connection with LESSOR's potential sale of the Aircraft or assignment of this Lease; as required for enforcement by either party of its rights and remedies with respect to this Lease or as required by applicable Law Including Tax law; or to a LESSOR's Lender which agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Article 28.8 or similar confidentiality provisions) without the prior written consent of the other party. If any disclosure will result in an Operative Document becoming publicly available, LESSEE and LESSOR will cooperate with one another to obtain confidential treatment as to the commercial, terms and other material provisions of such Operative Document. 28.9 PERMITS OF PARTIES. The rights of the parties hereunder are cumulative, not exclusive, may be exercised as often as each party considers appropriate and are in addition to its rights under general Law. The rights of one party against the other party are not capable of being waived or amended except by an express waiver or amendment in writing. Any failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any of such rights will not operate as a waiver or amendment of that or any other such right. Any defective or partial exercise of any such rights will not preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other such right and no act or course of conduct or negotiation on a party's part or on its behalf will in any way preclude such party from exercising any such right or constitute a suspension or any amendment of any such right. 28.10 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party agrees from time to time to do and perform such other and further acts and execute and deliver any and all such other instruments as may be required by Law, reasonably requested by the auditors of the other party or requested by the other party to establish, maintain or protect the rights and remedies of the requesting party or to carry out and effect the intent and purpose of this Lease. 28.11 TRANSLATIONS OF LEASE.

Any reference to a specific article, paragraph or section will be interpreted as a reference to such article, paragraph or section of this Lease. 28.14 INVALIDITY OF ANY PROVISION. If any of the provisions of this Lease become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any Law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired. 85
28.15 NEGOTIATION. The terms of this Lease are agreed by LESSOR from its principal place of business in Los Angeles, California. 28.16 TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the performance of all obligations of the parties under this Lease and, consequently, all time limitations set forth in the provisions of this Lease will be strictly observed. 28.17 AMENDMENTS IN WRITING. The provisions of this Lease may only be amended or modified by a writing executed by LESSOR and LESSEE. 28.18 COUNTERPARTS. This Lease may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original, and all of which together will be deemed to be one and the same instrument when each party has signed and delivered one such counterpart to the other party. 28.19 DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS BY FAX. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Lease or of any other documents in connection with this Lease by fax will be deemed as effective as delivery of an originally executed counterpart. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Lease or other document by fax will also deliver an originally executed counterpart, but the failure of any party to deliver an originally executed counterpart of this Lease or such other document will not affect the validity or effectiveness of this Lease or such other document. 28.20 ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, LESSOR and LESSEE will cooperate to modify the return date to allow LESSEE to perform the return C-check as near as possible to the expiration of the prior C-check without unduly prejudicing the marketing of the Aircraft to a follow-on operator. 4.2 **MATERIAL REDACTED** 4.2.1 **Material Redacted** 4.2.2 **Material Redacted** 4.3 "LEASE TERM" AND "EXPIRATION DATE". "LEASE TERM" means the term of leasing commencing on the Delivery Date and terminating on the Expiration Date. "EXPIRATION DATE" means the date on which LESSEE is required to redeliver the Aircraft to LESSOR in the condition required by this Lease on the last day of the Initial Lease Term **Material Redacted**. 4.4 "TERMINATION DATE". If LESSEE returns the Aircraft to LESSOR on the Expiration Date in the condition required by Article 23, then "TERMINATION DATE" has the same meaning as "Expiration Date", If LESSEE does not do so, then "TERMINATION DATE" means the date on which the first of the following events occurs: (a) there is a Total Loss of the Aircraft prior to Delivery pursuant to Article 3.5; (b) cancellation of this Lease occurs pursuant to Article 3.6; (c) there is a Total Loss of the Aircraft and payment is made to LESSOR in accordance with Article 19.3; (d) an Event of Default occurs and LESSOR repossesses the Aircraft or otherwise terminates this Lease pursuant to Article 25.3 prior to the Expiration Date and recovers possession and control of the Aircraft; (e) an Event of Default occurs hereunder by LESSEE returning the Aircraft in the condition required by this Lease after the Expiration Date; or (f) an Event of Default occurs and LESSOR repossesses the Aircraft or otherwise terminates this Lease pursuant to Article 25.3 after the Expiration Date and recovers possession and control of the Aircraft. 12
ARTICLE 5 SECURITY DEPOSIT, TRANSACTION FEE, RENT, RESERVES AND OTHER PAYMENTS 5.1 SECURITY DEPOSIT. 5.1.1 LESSEE will pay LESSOR a security deposit of **Material Redacted** for its lease of the Aircraft (the "SECURITY DEPOSIT"). The Security Deposit is payable as follows (in US$): PAYMENT DATE AMOUNT (-700) AMOUNT (-800) - ----------------------------------- --------------------- --------------------- Two (2) Business Days following LOI Execution **Material Redacted**......................... **Material Redacted** **Material Redacted** Two (2) Business Days following Lease execution **Material Redacted**......................... **Material Redacted** **Material Redacted** On or before March 15, 2004 **Material Redacted**.............. **Material Redacted** **Material Redacted** On or before August 2, 2004 **Material Redacted**.............. **Material Redacted** **Material Redacted** TOTAL.............................. **Material Redacted** **Material Redacted** 5.1.2 The Security Deposit may be commingled with LESSOR's general funds and any interest earned on such Security Deposit will be for LESSOR's account. If the Security Deposit is reduced below the required amount by application to meet LESSEE's unperformed obligations under this Lease, LESSEE will replenish the Security Deposit within ten (10) days after LESSOR's demand therefor. The Security Deposit will serve as security for the performance by LESSEE of its obligations under this Lease and any other agreements between LESSEE and LESSOR relating to aircraft, engines, aircraft equipment or the extension of credit and may be applied by LESSOR upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or of a default by LESSEE under any such other agreements. 5.1.3 Upon termination of this Lease in accordance with Article 4.4, LESSOR will promptly return to LESSEE the amount of the Security Deposit then held by LESSOR (so long as no default by LESSEE exists under any other agreement between LESSEE and LESSOR relating to aircraft, engines or aircraft equipment or the extension of credit by LESSOR to LESSEE), without interest, less an amount determined by LESSOR to be a reasonable estimate of the costs, 13
if any, which LESSOR will incur to remedy any Default or Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing under this Lease, including the correction of any discrepancies from the required condition of the Aircraft on return of the Aircraft. 5.2 TRANSACTION FEE. Within two (2) Business Days after execution of this Lease, LESSEE will pay LESSOR a nonrefundable transaction fee of **Material Redacted** (the "TRANSACTION FEE"). 5.3 RENT. 5.3.1 LESSEE will pay LESSOR the following amounts monthly in advance as rent for the Aircraft (the "RENT"): INITIAL LEASE TERM: Payable monthly in advance and equal to the sum of: (a) Months 1 and 2 **Material Redacted** (in the **Material Redacted** (in the event that LESSEE elects -700) event that LESSEE elects -800) Remainder of Initial Lease Term **Material Redacted** (in the **Material Redacted** (in the event that LESSEE elects -700) event that LESSEE elects - 800) All amounts in the table above are per month expressed in January 2004 U.S. Dollars* (prorated for any partial month during the Lease Term or during the first and last calendar month of the Lease Term if such month is less than a full month) *The above base rent is expressed in January 2004 U.S. Dollars and will increase in accordance with Boeing's announced escalation rates for the period from and including the 1st of January 2004 through and including the Delivery Date of the Aircraft (the "MANUFACTURER'S ESCALATION RATE"); plus (b) **Material Redacted** per month of the incremental cost (net of Manufacturer charges) of (i) all BFE approved by LESSOR (whether buyer-furnished equipment or seller-purchased equipment) paid for by LESSOR in place of or in addition to LESSEE's Specification BFE for the Aircraft as specified in LESSEE's Specification for the Aircraft and (ii) all other agreed-to changes to LESSEE's Specification for the Aircraft paid for by LESSOR. **Material Redacted**. Any increases to the above base rent during the Lease Term will be calculated immediately prior to Delivery. **Material Redacted** 14
**Material Redacted**: **Material Redacted**. 5.3.2 The first payment of Rent during the Lease Term will be paid no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date. Each subsequent payment of Rent will be due monthly thereafter no later than the same day of the month as the Delivery Date of the Aircraft except that, if such day is not a Business Day, the Rent will be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. If Delivery occurred on the 29th, 30th or 31st of the month and in any given month during the Lease Term there is no such corresponding date, Rent will be payable on the last Business Day of such month. In the event that after LESSEE has paid the Rent three days prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date and then prior to Delivery the Delivery is delayed by more than seven (7) days, LESSOR will refund the Rent to LESSEE and LESSEE will repay the Rent prior to the Delivery Date. 5.4 RESERVES. 5.4.1 LESSEE will pay to LESSOR supplemental Rent, based on LESSEE's use of the Aircraft during the Lease Term, in the form of the following reserves in the following amounts (individually, "AIRFRAME RESERVES", "ENGINE PERFORMANCE RESTORATION RESERVES" and "ENGINE LLP RESERVES" and collectively "RESERVES"): TYPE OF RESERVES AMOUNT OF RESERVES - ----------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Airframe Reserves: Year 1: **Material Redacted** * per Airframe flight hour Year 2: **Material Redacted** * per Airframe flight hour Year 3: **Material Redacted** * per Airframe flight hour Year 4: **Material Redacted** * per Airframe flight hour Years 5 - 8: **Material Redacted** * per Airframe flight hour *Each of the Airframe Reserves amounts will be increased by **Material Redacted** per Airframe flight hour in the event that LESSEE elects the - 800. 15
Engine Performance Each of the figures below is per Engine flight hour for each Engine Restoration Reserves*: (payable when the Engine is utilized on the Aircraft or another aircraft)*: Year 1: **Material Redacted** Year 2: **Material Redacted** Year 3: **Material Redacted** Year 4: **Material Redacted** Years 5 - 8: **Material Redacted** Engine LLP Reserves: **Material Redacted** per Engine cycle for each Engine (payable when the Engine is utilized on the Aircraft or another aircraft) *Engine Reserves will be paid each month at the applicable rate based on the thrust rating at which a particular Engine is operated during such month. 5.4.2 The amount of the Engine Performance Restoration Reserves and Engine LLP Reserves set forth in Article 5.4.1 will be increased by LESSOR in the event of an increase in the thrust rating of an Engine in accordance with Article 12.9. 5.4.3 Such Reserves will be paid on or before the 10th day of the calendar month next following the month in which the Delivery Date occurs and on or before the 10th day of each succeeding calendar month for flying performed during the calendar month prior to payment. All Reserves for flying performed during the month in which the Termination Date occurs will be paid on the Termination Date, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. 5.4.4 No interest will accrue or be paid at any time to LESSEE on such Reserves and, subject to LESSOR's obligations under Article 13, LESSOR may commingle the Reserves with LESSOR'S general funds. 5.5 ADDITIONAL RENT FOR EXCESS CYCLES. If in any calendar year (or portion thereof) of the Lease Term the Airframe or any Engine operated more cycles than the maximum number of cycles which would result from an average hour/cycle ratio of **Material Redacted** hours to **Material Redacted** cycle, LESSEE will pay LESSOR as additional Rent **Material Redacted** for each Airframe cycle and **Material Redacted** **Material Redacted** for each Engine cycle the Airframe and any Engine actually operated during such calendar year (or portion thereof) in excess of the number of cycles which result from an average hour/cycle ratio of **Material Redacted** hours to **Material Redacted** cycle. A calculation will be made as of December 31 of each year and such additional Rent will be due and payable by LESSEE on the date on which the next Reserves payment is due (in accordance with Article 5.4.3) following such hour/cycle calculation period. Example: If the Airframe operated **Material Redacted** hours in a calendar year, it would have **Material Redacted** cycles resulting from an average hour/cycle ratio of **Material Redacted** hours to **Material Redacted** cycle. If in fact the Airframe 16
operated **Material Redacted** cycles in such calendar year, the Airframe operated **Material Redacted** excess cycles in such calendar year and LESSEE will pay LESSOR **Material Redacted** (**Material Redacted** excess cycles x **Material Redacted** = **Material Redacted**). Similarly, if an Engine which is rated at **Material Redacted** thrust operated **Material Redacted** cycles in such calendar year, such Engine operated **Material Redacted** excess cycles in such calendar year and LESSEE will pay LESSOR **Material Redacted** (**Material Redacted** excess cycles x **Material Redacted** = **Material Redacted**). Alternatively, if an Engine which is rated at **Material Redacted** thrust operated **Material Redacted** cycles in such calendar year, such Engine operated **Material Redacted** excess cycles in such calendar year and LESSEE will pay LESSOR **Material Redacted** (**Material Redacted** excess cycles x **Material Redacted** = **Material Redacted**). 5.6 LESSOR'S BANK ACCOUNT. The Security Deposit, Transaction Fee, Rent, Reserves and any other payment due under this Lease will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. Dollar funds to LESSOR's bank account at: International Lease Finance Corporation JPMorgan Chase Bank 270 Park Avenue New York, New York 10017 ABA# 021000021 or to such other bank account in the United States (or such other jurisdiction as may be agreed) as LESSOR may from time to time designate by at least three (3) days prior written notice ("LESSOR'S BANK"). When it is stated in this Lease that an installment of the Security Deposit, the monthly Rent, Reserves or any other payment is due or must be paid or made by LESSEE by a specific date, then such payment actually must be received by LESSOR's Bank on or before such specific date on or before close of business (local time), even if, in order for such payment to be received by LESSOR's Bank by such specific date, LESSEE must initiate the wire transfer prior to such specific date. 5.7 DEFAULT INTEREST. If LESSOR's Bank does not receive the Rent or any other amount on or before the specific date when due, LESSOR will suffer loss and damage the exact nature and amount of which are difficult or impossible to ascertain. LESSEE will pay LESSOR as supplemental Rent (by way of agreed compensation and not as a penalty) interest on any due and unpaid amounts payable by LESSEE under this Lease. Interest will be calculated at a per annum rate (based on a 360 day year) which is equal to **Material Redacted** plus the Prime Rate in effect on the date on which the amount was originally due for the period from the date the amount originally was due through the date the amount actually is received at LESSOR's Bank or, in the case of LESSOR's performance of LESSEE's obligations hereunder, from the date of payment by LESSOR through the date of LESSEE's repayment to LESSOR ("DEFAULT Interest"). Default Interest will accrue on a day-to-day basis and be compounded monthly. 17
5.8 NO DEDUCTIONS OR WITHHOLDINGS. Subject to Article 16 of this Lease, All payments by LESSEE under this Lease, including the Security Deposit, Transaction Fee, Rent, Reserves, Default Interest, fees, indemnities or any other item, will be made in full without any deduction or withholding whether in respect of set-off, counterclaim, duties, or Taxes (in accordance with Article 16) imposed in the State of Registration or any jurisdiction from which such payments are made unless LESSEE is prohibited by Law from doing so, in which event LESSEE will gross up the payment amount such that the net payment received by LESSOR after any deduction or withholding equals the amounts called for under this Lease. LESSEE will also do all of the following: (a) Ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required; (b) Pay to the relevant Government Entities within the period for payment permitted by applicable Law the full amount of the deduction or withholding (including the full amount of any deduction or withholding from any additional amount paid pursuant hereto); and (c) Furnish to LESSOR within thirty (30) days after each payment an official receipt of the relevant Government Entities involved for all amounts so deducted or withheld. 5.9 NET LEASE. 5.9.1 This Lease is a net lease and LESSEE's obligation to pay Rent and make other payments in accordance with this Lease will be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and regardless of other events, including the following: (a) any right of set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right (including any right of reimbursement) which LESSEE may have against LESSOR, Manufacturer, the Engine manufacturer or any other person for any reason, including any claim LESSEE may have for the foregoing; (b) unavailability or interruption in use of the Aircraft for any reason, including a requisition thereof or any prohibition or interference with or other restriction against LESSEE's use, operation or possession of the Aircraft (whether by Law or otherwise), any defect in title, airworthiness, merchantability, fitness for any purpose, condition, design, specification or operation of any kind or nature of the Aircraft, the ineligibility of the Aircraft for any particular use or trade or for registration under the Laws of any jurisdiction or Total Loss of the Aircraft in accordance with Article 19.3; (c) insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation, receivership, administration or similar proceedings by or against LESSOR, LESSEE, Manufacturer, the Engine manufacturer or any other Person; 18
(d) invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization of or other defect in this Lease; (e) failure or delay on the part of any party to perform its obligations under this Lease; or (f) any other circumstance which but for this provision would or might have the effect of terminating or in any other way affecting any obligation of LESSEE hereunder. 5.9.2 Nothing in Article 5.9 will be construed to limit LESSEE's rights and remedies in the event of LESSOR's breach of its warranty of quiet enjoyment set forth in Article 21.2 or to limit LESSEE's rights and remedies to pursue in a court of law any claim it may have against LESSOR or any other Person. 5.10 CURRENCY INDEMNITY. If under any applicable Law, whether as a result of a judgment against LESSEE or the liquidation of LESSEE or for any other reason, any payment hereunder is required to be made or recovered in a currency other than Dollars then, to the extent that the payment (when converted into Dollars at the "rate of exchange" on the date of payment or, in the case of a liquidation, the latest date for the determination of liabilities permitted by the applicable Law) falls short of the amount payable under this Lease, LESSEE will as a separate and independent obligation, fully indemnify LESSOR against the amount of the shortfall. If the amount received by LESSOR upon converting the payment into Dollars exceeds the amount payable under this Lease, LESSOR will remit such excess to LESSEE. For the purposes of this paragraph "rate of exchange" means the rate at which LESSOR is able on the relevant date to purchase Dollars in New York or London (at LESSOR's option) with such other currency. 5.11 LESSOR PERFORMANCE OF LESSEE OBLIGATION. If LESSEE fails to make any payment under this Lease to a third party in connection with the Aircraft or fails to perform any other obligation required under this Lease, LESSOR may (but is not required to) at its election and without waiver of its rights perform such obligation and/or pay such amount. Within five (5) Business Days after written notice to LESSEE of the amount paid by LESSOR on behalf of LESSEE, LESSEE will repay such amount to LESSOR together with Default Interest. Such payment to LESSOR will constitute additional Rent payable by LESSEE to LESSOR hereunder. Any payment, performance or compliance by LESSOR of a LESSEE obligation hereunder will not affect the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, as the case may be. 5.12 CONSIDERATION FOR RENT AND OTHER AMOUNTS. The amount of the Rent and other payments contained herein are in consideration of LESSEE's waiver of warranties and indemnities set forth in Articles 8 and 17, respectively, and the other provisions of this Lease. 19

LESSOR hereby assigns to LESSEE all rights to training to which LESSOR is entitled as a result of LESSOR's purchase of the Aircraft and lease of the Aircraft to LESSEE. If LESSEE fails to take Delivery of the Aircraft when tendered in accordance with Article 6.7, LESSEE will immediately pay to LESSOR an amount equal to the Dollar value of such training based on what the training would have cost LESSEE had LESSEE purchased such training directly from Manufacturer. 6.5 LESSEE INSPECTION OF AIRCRAFT. During the course of final assembly of the Aircraft, and at Delivery, LESSEE will have its own representative present to inspect the Aircraft and to ensure its conformity with LESSEE's needs and the terms of this Lease. LESSEE will have ground inspection and acceptance flight rights with respect to the Aircraft. LESSEE acknowledges that, as between LESSEE and LESSOR, in accepting the Aircraft LESSEE is relying on its own inspection and knowledge of the Aircraft in determining whether the Aircraft meets the requirements of this Lease. 6.6 AIRCRAFT AT DELIVERY. At Delivery, the Aircraft will be as set forth in Exhibit A, as such description may be modified by any change requests agreed to among LESSEE, LESSOR and Manufacturer (which will be reflected in amendment(s) to this Lease).

LESSEE at its own cost and expense will do all such things and execute such documents as may be required for these purposes. 9.3 WARRANTY CLAIMS. LESSEE will diligently and: promptly pursue any valid claims it may have against Manufacturer and others under such warranties with respect to the Aircraft. 27
ARTICLE 10 OPERATION OF AIRCRAFT 10.1 COSTS OF OPERATION. LESSEE will pay all costs incurred in the operation of the Aircraft during the Lease Term and until the Termination Date, for profit or otherwise, including the costs of flight crews, cabin personnel, fuel, oil, lubricants, maintenance, insurance, storage, landing and navigation fees, airport charges, passenger service and any and all other expenses of any kind or nature, directly or indirectly, in connection with or related to the use, movement and operation of the Aircraft. The obligations, covenants and liabilities of LESSEE under this paragraph arising prior to return of the Aircraft to LESSOR will continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Lease or expiration of the Lease Term. 10.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, LESSEE agrees throughout the Lease Term and until the Termination Date to maintain operational control of the Aircraft and use the Aircraft in accordance with applicable Laws of the State of Registration and of any country, state, territory or municipality into or over which LESSEE may operate. LESSEE will not employ, suffer or cause the Aircraft to be used in any business which is forbidden by Law or in any manner which may reasonably be expected to render it liable to condemnation, destruction, seizure, or confiscation by any authority. LESSEE will not permit the Aircraft to fly to any airport or country if so doing would cause LESSEE or LESSOR to be in violation of any Law applicable to either of them or the Aircraft except as may be necessary to preserve the Aircraft or the safety, well being or life of passengers or crew, provided, however, that in such event LESSEE will take reasonable actions to remove the Aircraft from such airport or country as soon as reasonably practical. 10.3 TRAINING. LESSEE will not use the Aircraft for testing or for training of flight crew members other than LESSEE crew members and will not use the Aircraft for training any more than it utilizes for training the other aircraft in its fleet. 10.4 NO VIOLATION OF INSURANCE POLICIES. LESSEE will not use or permit the Aircraft to be used in any manner or for any purpose which is not covered by the insurance policies LESSEE is required to carry and maintain as set forth in this Lease. LESSEE will not carry any goods of any description excepted or exempted from such policies or do any other act or permit to be done anything which may reasonably be expected to invalidate or limit any such insurance policy. 10.5 FLIGHT AND AIRPORT CHARGES. 10.5.1 LESSEE will pay promptly when due all airport or enroute navigation charges (including Eurocontrol charges if and when applicable), navigation service charges, landing fees and all charges payable by LESSEE for the use of or for services provided at any airport, whether in respect of the Aircraft or any other aircraft of LESSEE which, if unpaid, may reasonably be expected to subject the Aircraft to any lien, and will indemnify and hold LESSOR harmless in respect of the same. This indemnity will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination or expiration of the Lease Term for any reason or the return of the Aircraft. 28
10.5.2 If requested by LESSOR (but not more often than each six (6) months unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), LESSEE will provide LESSOR with a list of the airports to which LESSEE regularly operates the Aircraft or its other aircraft (in the event that the operation of such other aircraft may reasonably be expected to give rise to a lien on the Aircraft for navigation, landing, parking, storage or other similar charges). LESSEE hereby authorizes Eurocontrol (if and when applicable) or another aviation authority or airport or creditor claiming rights on the Aircraft to confirm the status of LESSEE'S payments to such creditor for the Aircraft and its other aircraft, as and when requested by LESSOR. 29
ARTICLE 11 SUBLEASES 11.1 NO SUBLEASE WITHOUT LESSOR CONSENT. LESSEE WILL NOT SUBLEASE OR PART WITH POSSESSION OF THE AIRCRAFT (EXCEPT FOR MODIFICATION, MAINTENANCE, TESTING, SERVICE AND/OR REPAIR) AT ANY TIME WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESSOR (NOT TO BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD OR DELAYED) AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH REQUIREMENTS AS MAY FROM TIME TO TIME BE AGREED IN WRITING BETWEEN LESSOR AND LESSEE. 11.2 LESSOR COSTS. LESSEE will indemnify LESSOR on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred in connection with LESSOR's assessment of the subleasing proposal (whether or not LESSOR's consent to such sublease is ultimately given) and implementation of the sublease. 11.3 ANY APPROVED SUBLEASE. Any sublease approved by LESSOR will be for a term no greater than the remaining Lease Term. The applicable sublease agreement will contain provisions consistent with this Lease protecting LESSOR's title to the Aircraft, providing appropriate LESSOR disclaimers and indemnities, regarding the maintenance and repair standards for the Aircraft and concerning the insurances which will be carried by the sublessee and the circumstances which constitute a Total Loss of the Aircraft. Any such sublease will be subject and subordinate to this Lease. LESSOR will have an opportunity to review the proposed sublease agreement reasonably in advance in order to determine that it meets the requirements of this Article 11.3. In its sole and reasonable discretion, LESSOR may require an opinion of counsel in connection with such sublease, including LESSOR's right to repossess the Aircraft in the event of an Event of Default hereunder or under the sublease. LESSEE will not amend the terms of any approved sublease agreement without the prior written consent of LESSOR, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 11.4 ASSIGNMENT OF SUBLEASE. Any approved sublease will be assigned to LESSOR as security. LESSEE will deliver the original counterpart of the sublease to LESSOR and make any filings necessary to protect LESSOR's security interest. 11.5 WET LEASES. The wet leasing of the Aircraft during the Lease Term (in which LESSEE and its crews retain operational control of the Aircraft) will not be considered a sublease of the Aircraft and will be permitted without LESSOR's consent, provided that (a) the Aircraft remains registered in the State of Registration, (b) the Aircraft will be operated in accordance with applicable rules related to any Prohibited Country, (c) LESSEE provides LESSOR with either a certified copy of the applicable provisions from the wet lease agreement or an officer's certificate indicating whether LESSEE or the wet lessee will be responsible for maintaining the primary passenger, baggage and cargo liability insurance relating to operation under the wet lease and (d) LESSEE complies with Article 18.9. 11.6 CONTINUED RESPONSIBILITY OF LESSEE. LESSEE will continue to be responsible for performance of its obligations under this Lease during any period of sublease or wet lease. 30
ARTICLE 12 MAINTENANCE OF AIRCRAFT 12.1 GENERAL OBLIGATION. During the Lease Term and until the Termination Date, LESSEE alone has the obligation, at its expense, to maintain and repair the Aircraft, Engines, APU and all of the Parts (a) in accordance with the Maintenance Program, (b) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Aviation Authority, (c) in accordance with Manufacturer's type design, (d) in accordance with any other regulations or requirements necessary in order to maintain a valid Certificate of Airworthiness for the Aircraft and meet the requirements at all times during the Lease Term and upon return of the Aircraft to LESSOR for issuance of a Standard Certificate of Airworthiness for transport category aircraft issued by the FAA in accordance with FAR Part 21 (except during those periods when the Aircraft is undergoing maintenance, Modification or repairs as required or permitted by this Lease and to the extent in conflict with the requirements of the Aviation Authority) and (e) in the same manner and with the same care as used by LESSEE with respect to aircraft and engines of like make and model operated by LESSEE and without in any way discriminating against the Aircraft as compared to such other aircraft. 12.2 SPECIFIC ENGINE REQUIREMENTS. 12.2.1 No Engine will remain in an unserviceable condition for more than three (3) months unless engine restoration is ongoing and has not been suspended or delayed without reasonable technical cause and LESSEE uses commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Engine to be returned to service. 12.2.2 When replacing Parts in the Engines, LESSEE will utilize only original equipment manufacturer parts (OEM parts). The foregoing will not apply to QEC and thrust reverser Parts. 12.2.3 LESSEE will not discriminate against the Engines with respect to Overhaul build standards and life-limited Part replacements and, in any event, at each performance restoration shop visit on an Engine, LESSEE will (a) build the Engine life-limited Parts to at least **Material Redacted** cycles remaining and (b) perform, at a minimum, a performance restoration workscope sufficient to allow such Engine to achieve at least **Material Redacted** hours and **Material Redacted** cycles of operation following such shop visit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LESSOR agrees that the performance restoration workscope contained in the maintenance cost per flight hour when agreed to among LESSEE, LESSOR and LESSEE's engine maintenance provider will be substituted for the performance restoration workscope described above. Failing the foregoing, LESSOR and LESSEE agree to negotiate in good faith and agree on a performance restoration workscope for the last engine shop visit which is reasonable in view of the age and condition of the Engine, the required condition at return and the cost of such restoration to LESSEE and LESSOR. 31
12.2.4 With respect to the last Engine shop visit of an Engine prior to return of the Aircraft, LESSEE will submit to LESSOR in advance the intended workscope of such shop visit. If LESSOR requests, LESSEE will perform additional work at such shop visit at LESSOR's cost provided that if the same shall result in delay in redelivery, extension of the Lease Term or cause the Engine to be removed from service for a period in excess of the period the Engine would have been removed to revenue service absent such additional work, no Rent or other costs will be payable by LESSEE for the period which is attributable solely to LESSOR's requested work (unless and to the extent LESSOR and LESSEE shall have otherwise agreed in writing). 12.2.5 Except as otherwise agreed by the parties (including, pursuant to any side letter) LESSEE will not enter into any Engine maintenance cost per flight hour, power-by-the-hour or similar agreement with the Engine manufacturer or any other Engine maintenance facility or organization without LESSOR's prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. LESSEE will at its cost be responsible for performing all work necessary to meet the return conditions with respect to the Engines set forth in Article 23 even if such work is not covered by LESSEE's Engine maintenance agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, any such Engine maintenance agreement will provide that: (a) LESSOR will receive and retain the monthly Engine Performance Restoration Reserves paid by LESSEE until an Engine shop visit has been completed; (b) LESSEE will pay the Engine maintenance facility directly for any Engine Overhaul and repair costs in excess of the Engine Performance Restoration Reserves, including any differential between the hourly Engine Performance Restoration Reserves payable by LESSEE to LESSOR and the hourly rates charged by the Engine maintenance facility; and (c) LESSEE will pay the Engine maintenance facility directly for any services provided by the Engine maintenance facility over and above repair of the Engines, such as trend monitoring, spare engines or spare parts. 12.3 SPECIFIC OBLIGATIONS. Without limiting Article 12.1, LESSEE agrees that such maintenance and repairs will include but will not be limited to each of the following specific items: (a) performance in accordance with the Maintenance Program of all routine and non-routine maintenance work; (b) incorporation in the Aircraft of all Airworthiness Directives, all mandatory service bulletins of Manufacturer, the Engine manufacturer and other vendors or manufacturers of Parts incorporated on the Aircraft and any service bulletins which must be performed in order to maintain the warranties on the Aircraft, Engines, APU and Parts; 32
(c) incorporation in the Aircraft of all other service bulletins of Manufacturer, the Engine manufacturer and other vendors which LESSEE schedules to adopt within the Lease Term for the rest of its B737-700 / 800 aircraft fleet. It is the intent of the parties that the Aircraft will not be discriminated from the rest of LESSEE's fleet in service bulletin compliance (including method of compliance) or other maintenance matters unless LESSEE's exclusion of the such modification is reasonable giving consideration to the remaining Lease Term and industry practice; (d) incorporation in the Maintenance Program for the Aircraft of a corrosion prevention and control program as recommended by Manufacturer and the correction of any discrepancies in accordance with the recommendations of Manufacturer and the Structural Repair Manual. In addition, all inspected areas will be properly treated with corrosion inhibitor as recommended by Manufacturer; (e) maintaining in English and keeping in an up-to-date status the records and historical documents set forth in Attachment 1 of Exhibit J; (f) maintaining historical records, in English, for on condition, condition-monitored, hard time and life-limited Parts (including an FAA Form 8130 or JAA Form 1) from the manufacturer of such Part or a repair facility which evidence that such Part is new or overhauled and establish authenticity, total time in service and time since overhaul for such Part), the hours and cycles the Aircraft and Engines operate and all maintenance and repairs performed on the Aircraft; and (g) properly documenting all repairs, Modifications and alterations and the addition, removal or replacement of equipment, systems or components in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Aviation Authority and reflecting such items in the Aircraft Documentation, including Manufacturer's manuals, as required by such rules and regulations. In addition, all repairs to the Aircraft will be accomplished in accordance with Manufacturer's Structural Repair Manual (or FAA-approved data supported by an FAA Form 8110-3 or equivalent). All Modifications and alterations will also be accomplished in accordance with FAA-approved data supported by FAA Form 8110-3 or equivalent. 12.4 REPLACEMENT OF PARTS. 12.4.1 LESSEE, at its own cost and expense, will promptly replace all Parts which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or rendered unfit or beyond economical repair (BER) for use for any reason. In the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, LESSEE may remove any Part provided that LESSEE replaces such Part as promptly as reasonably practicable. All replacement Parts will (a) be owned by LESSEE free and clear of all Security Interests (except Permitted Liens) of any kind or description (or, if not owned by LESSEE, LESSEE guarantees to LESSOR such title and clearance of all Security Interests), (b) be in airworthy condition, and of at least equivalent model, service bulletin and modification status and have a value and utility at least 33
equal to the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof and (c) have a current "serviceable tag" (an FAA Form 8130 or JAA Form 1) of the manufacturer or maintenance facility providing such items to LESSEE, indicating that such Parts are new, serviceable or Overhauled. So long as a substitution meets the requirements of the Maintenance Program and Aviation Authority, LESSEE may substitute for any Part a part that does not meet the requirements of the foregoing sentence if a complying Part cannot be procured or installed within the available ground time of the Aircraft and as soon as practicable the noncomplying part is removed and replaced by a complying Part. With respect to replacement modules in an Engine, the replacement module will not have been previously operated at a higher thrust rating than the replaced module. As set forth in Article 12.2.2, LESSEE may not replace any Part in the Engines, excluding QEC and thrust reversers, with a part other than an original equipment manufacturer part (an OEM part). With respect to replacement modules in an Engine, the replacement module will not have been previously operated at a higher thrust rating than the replaced module. 12.4.2 All Parts removed from the Airframe, any Engine or the APU will remain the property of LESSOR and subject to this Lease no matter where located, until such time as such Parts have been replaced by Parts (which have been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe, such Engine or the APU) which meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified above and title to such replacement Parts has passed to LESSOR under the Laws of the State of Registration and the lex situs. To the extent permitted by the Laws of the State of Registration and the lex situs it is the intent of LESSOR and LESSEE that without further act and immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated, installed or attached to the Airframe, an Engine or the APU as above provided, (a) title to the removed Part will thereupon vest in LESSEE, free and clear of all rights of LESSOR and LESSOR Liens and LESSOR will, upon LESSEE's reasonable request, provide LESSEE with a bill of sale thereto, (b) title to the replacement Part will thereupon vest in LESSOR free and clear of all rights of LESSEE free and clear of all rights of LESSEE and liens (other than LESSOR Liens) and LESSEE will, upon LESSOR's reasonable request, provide LESSOR with a bill of sale thereto and (c) such replacement Part will become subject to this Lease and be deemed to be a Part hereunder to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe, such Engine or the APU. 12.5 REMOVAL OF ENGINES. 12.5.1 If an Engine is removed for testing, service, repair, maintenance, Overhaul work, alterations or modifications, title to such Engine will at all times remain vested in LESSOR. 34
12.5.2 LESSEE will be entitled to remove any of the Engines from the Aircraft and install another engine or engines on the Aircraft, provided that LESSEE complies with each of the following obligations: (a) the insurance requirements set forth in Article 18 and Exhibit C are in place; (b) LESSEE ensures that the identification plates referred to in Article 15 are not removed from any Engine upon such Engine being detached from the Aircraft; and (c) title to the Engine remains with LESSOR free from all Security Interests (except Permitted Liens) regardless of the location of the Engine or its attachment to or detachment from the Aircraft. 12.6 REMOVAL OF APU. 12.6.1 If the APU is removed for testing, service, repair, maintenance, Overhaul work, alterations or modifications, title to the APU will at all times remain vested in LESSOR. 12.6.2 LESSEE will be entitled to remove the APU from the Aircraft and install another auxiliary power unit on the Aircraft, provided that LESSEE complies with each of the following obligations: (a) the insurance requirements set forth in Article 18 and Exhibit C are in place; (b) LESSEE ensures that the identification plates referred to in Article 15 are not removed from the APU; and (c) title to the APU remains with LESSOR free from all Security Interests (except Permitted Liens) regardless of the location of the APU or its attachment to or detachment from the Aircraft. 12.7 POOLING OF ENGINES, APU AND PARTS. With LESSOR's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, LESSEE may subject the Engines, APU and Parts to normal interchange or pooling agreements with responsible international scheduled commercial air carriers customary in the airline industry and entered into by LESSEE in the ordinary course of its business with respect to its entire B737-700 / 800 fleet so long as (a) in the case of pooling of an Engine or APU, such Engine or APU is returned to LESSEE within one hundred eighty (180) days, (b) no transfer of title to the Engine or APU occurs, (c) all other terms of this Lease continue to be observed with respect to the Engines, APU or Parts, including but not limited to Articles 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 and (d) LESSEE continues to be fully responsible to LESSOR for the performance of all of its obligations hereunder. 12.8 INSTALLATION OF ENGINES ON OTHER AIRCRAFT. Any Engine removed from the Aircraft may be installed on another aircraft in LESSEE's fleet which utilizes engines of the same type as the Engine only if one of the situations described in this Article 12.8 exists: 35
12.8.1 LESSEE or LESSOR has title to such other aircraft free and clear of all Security Interests (except Permitted Liens). 12.8.2 LESSEE, LESSOR and all of the Creditors of LESSEE of such aircraft enter into an engines cooperation agreement in form and substance acceptable to LESSOR in which each party agrees to recognize one another's rights in the engines. LESSEE will reimburse LESSOR and LESSOR's Lender for their reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in negotiating and finalizing engine cooperation agreement arrangements with LESSEE and its Creditors. 12.8.3 Such other aircraft is subject to a Creditor Agreement (but no other Security Interests except Permitted Liens) which by its terms expressly or effectively states that such Creditor and its successors and assigns will not acquire any right, title or interest in any Engine by reason of such Engine being installed on such aircraft provided the owner of such Engine provides reciprocal title recognition provisions. To evidence the foregoing, at or before Delivery, LESSEE will provide LESSOR with an officer's certificate as to this matter (and, officer's certificate will be provided during the Lease Term with respect to other Creditor Agreements regarding aircraft entering LESSEE's operating fleet subsequent to Delivery). LESSEE hereby agrees that if LESSOR's title to an Engine is in fact impaired under any such Creditor Agreement, such impairment will be a Total Loss of such Engine and the provisions of Article 19.5 will apply. To the extent another Creditor Agreement contains such provisions, then LESSOR hereby agrees for the benefit of the Creditor of such Creditor Agreement that neither LESSOR nor its successors or assigns will acquire or claim any right, title or interest in any engine in which LESSEE or another Creditor has an interest as a result of such engine being installed on the Airframe. 12.9 ENGINE THRUST RATING. If an Engine is utilized by LESSEE on the Aircraft or on any other airframe (or if the Engine is utilized by any sublessee or user under a pooling arrangement in accordance with this Lease) at a thrust rating greater than the thrust rating set forth in Exhibit A, LESSEE will promptly notify LESSOR and the amounts of Engine Performance Restoration Reserves and, if applicable, Engine LLP Reserves, set forth in Article 5.4.1 will be increased in an amount consistent with Engine manufacturer's published data. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Engine Performance Restoration Reserves shall be calculated with respect to any relevant period based on the thrust rating at which the Engine is actually operated, from time to time, during such period. 12.10 MODIFICATIONS. 12.10.1 No modification, alteration, addition or removal to the Aircraft ("MODIFICATION") expected to cost over **Material Redacted** **Material Redacted** or deviation from the Aircraft's original type design or configuration will be made without the prior written consent of LESSOR, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The term Modification does not include Airworthiness Directives or Manufacturer's recommended 36
service bulletins, for which LESSOR's consent is not required. **Material Redacted**. 12.10.2 LESSOR may review LESSEE's proposed designs, plans, engineering drawings and diagrams, and flight and maintenance manual revisions for any proposed Modification. If requested by LESSOR, LESSEE will furnish LESSOR (at LESSEE's expense) with such documents in final form and any other documents required by Law, as a result of such Modification. All Modifications incorporated on the Aircraft will be properly documented in the Aircraft Documentation and be fully approved by the Aviation Authority. 12.10.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, no Modification will be made which has the effect of decreasing the utility or value of the Aircraft or invalidating any warranty applicable to the Aircraft. 12.10.4 No Modification will be made by LESSEE if an Event of Default exists and is continuing hereunder. 12.10.5 Unless otherwise agreed by LESSOR in writing, all permanent or structural Modifications will promptly become a part of the Aircraft and LESSEE relinquishes to LESSOR all rights and title thereto. However, all temporary and non-structural Modifications will remain the property of LESSEE and, at LESSOR's request and LESSEE's cost, will be removed from the Aircraft prior to return of the Aircraft, with LESSEE restoring the Aircraft to the condition it was in prior to the Modification in a manner cosmetically acceptable to LESSOR (considering international passenger airline standards). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such removal will be permitted without LESSOR's permission after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, without the requirement of any further act or notice, all right, title and interest in such Modifications will immediately vest in LESSOR. 12.10.6 LESSOR will bear no liability for the cost of Modifications of the Aircraft whether in the event of grounding or suspensions of certification, or for any other cause. 12.11 PERFORMANCE OF WORK BY THIRD PARTIES. Whenever maintenance and repair work on the Aircraft or Engines will be regularly performed by a Person other than LESSEE, such Person will be an FAA-authorized repair station. 12.12 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. 12.12.1 Commencing with a report furnished ten (10) days after the end of the calendar month in which Delivery occurs, LESSEE will furnish to LESSOR a Monthly Report in English in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K. Each Monthly Report will be furnished within ten (10) days after the end of each calendar month, except that the Monthly Report pertaining to the last month (or any 37
portion thereof) of this Lease will be furnished to LESSOR on the Termination Date. 12.12.2 Once each eighteen months during the Lease Term, LESSEE will provide LESSOR with an updated Technical Evaluation Report for the Aircraft in the form and substance of Exhibit M, as revised. 12.12.3 From time to time, LESSEE will provide LESSOR with such other technical information or documents as LESSOR may reasonably request. 12.13 INFORMATION REGARDING MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. Upon reasonable notice to LESSEE, LESSEE will provide LESSOR with access to the Maintenance Program for the Aircraft, as reasonably requested by LESSOR. 12.14 LESSOR RIGHTS TO INSPECT AIRCRAFT. On reasonable notice, LESSOR and/or its authorized agents or representatives will have the right to inspect the Aircraft and Aircraft Documentation. LESSOR agrees that such requests will be coordinated with LESSEE so as to cause the minimum practical disturbance to LESSEE's operation or its personnel. LESSEE agrees to cooperate with LESSOR in making the Aircraft and Aircraft Documentation available to such authorized technical teams. LESSOR will have no duty to make any such inspection and will not incur any liability or obligation by reason of (and LESSEE's indemnity obligations pursuant to Article 17 will apply notwithstanding) making or not making any such inspection or by reason of any reports it receives or any reviews it may make of the Aircraft records. 38
ARTICLE 13 USE OF RESERVES 13.1 AIRFRAME RESERVES. LESSOR will reimburse LESSEE from the Airframe Reserves for the actual cost of performing all task as described in the MPD (including systems, zonal, CPCP, SID, structural and lubrication) performed during the Airframe heavy checks (performed at **Material Redacted** and **Material Redacted** years) any non routine tasks and the rectification of and deficiencies resulting from such inspection (including materials), with work performed for all other causes excluded, including those causes set forth in Article 13.5. Subject to Article 16.1 and excluding exchange fees and handling, packaging and shipping charges, reimbursement will be made up to the amount in the Airframe Reserves on the commencement date of the structural check. 13.2 ENGINE PERFORMANCE RESTORATION RESERVES. 13.2.1 LESSOR will reimburse LESSEE from the Engine Performance Restoration Reserves for the actual cost associated with performance restoration of the Basic Engine during completed Engine shop visits (i.e. heavy maintenance visits) requiring off-wing teardown and/or disassembly as described in Article 12.2.3, with work performed for all other causes excluded, including those causes set forth in Article 13.5. Subject to Article 16.1 and excluding exchange fees and handling, packaging and shipping charges, reimbursement for an Engine will be made up to the amount in the Engine Performance Restoration Reserves applicable to such Engine at the time of removal of such Engine. 13.2.2 Reimbursement from the Engine Performance Restoration Reserves will be limited as to each module of such Engine in accordance with the following percentages of the remaining total amount in the Engine Performance Restoration Reserves for such Engine: **Material Redacted** % Fan and Accessory Gearbox Module **Material Redacted** % High Pressure Compressor **Material Redacted** % High Pressure Turbine **Material Redacted** % Low Pressure Turbine 13.2.3 LESSEE will not enter into any Engine maintenance cost per flight hour, power-by-the-hour or similar agreement for the Engines with the Engine manufacturer or any other Engine maintenance facility or organization without LESSOR's consent. 13.3 ENGINE LLP RESERVES. LESSOR will reimburse LESSEE from the Engine LLP Reserves for an Engine for the actual out-of-pocket materials cost without overhead, LESSEE mark-up or profit factor associated with the replacement of life-limited Parts in such Engine during completed Engine shop visits (i.e. heavy maintenance visits) requiring off-wing teardown and/or disassembly as described in Article 1.2.2.3, with work performed for all other causes 39
excluded, including those causes set forth in Article 13.5. Subject to Article 16.1 and excluding exchange fees and handling, packaging and shipping charges, reimbursement for replacement of life-limited Parts in an Engine will be made up to the amount in the Engine LLP Reserves applicable to such Engine at the time of removal of such Engine. 13.4 REIMBURSEMENT. LESSEE will be entitled to reimbursement from the Reserves after the work is completed and the Airframe or Engine has left the repair agency, by submitting invoices and proper documentation within six (6) months after completion of the work. LESSOR shall reimburse LESSEE from the Reserves promptly and in any event within thirty (30) days after LESSEE has delivered to LESSOR such invoices and proper documentation. LESSEE may only seek reimbursement from the Airframe Reserves one time in any calendar year. For the Airframe, proper documentation includes a list of all routine and non-routine work cards with corresponding references to the MPD and an itemized labor and materials report. For the Engine, proper documentation includes a description of the reason for removal, a shop teardown report, a shop findings report, a full description of the workscope and complete disk records for the Engine both prior to and after the shop visit. Both the invoice supplied by the Engine repair facility and that submitted by LESSEE to LESSOR with respect to an Engine will state whether or not credits were provided due to life remaining on any removed Engine Parts and the amount of any such credits will be itemized. 13.5 REIMBURSEMENT ADJUSTMENT. By way of example, among the exclusions from reimbursement are those items resulting from repairs covered by LESSEE's or a third party's insurance, (deductibles being for the account of LESSEE) or warranties or required as a result of an Airworthiness Directive, manufacturer's service bulletin, negligent maintenance or installation, improper operations, misuse, neglect, accident, incident, ingestion, or other accidental cause. Reimbursement from the Reserves will not be available for the quick engine change (QEC) Parts, thrust reversers or any of their associated components. All invoices subject to reimbursement from LESSOR will be reduced (by adjustment between LESSEE and LESSOR retroactively if necessary) by the actual amounts received by LESSEE on account of such work from responsible third parties or other sources, such as insurance proceeds, manufacturer's warranties, guarantees, concessions and credits (including, with respect to Engines, credits due to life remaining on any removed Engine Parts). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that accident, incident or other accidental cause necessitates a repair and during the course of such repair the workscope results in performance restoration to, the Engine or installation of LLPs with more life remaining, the performance restoration portion or LLP life betterment of such repair workscope may be claimed by LESSEE from Engine Performance Restoration Reserves or Engine LLP Reserves (as applicable). 13.6 COSTS IN EXCESS OF RESERVES. LESSEE will be responsible for payment of all costs in excess of the amounts reimbursed hereunder. If on any occasion the balance in the Airframe Reserves, Engine Performance Restoration Reserves for a particular Engine or Engine LLP Reserves for a particular Engine (at the time of the structural check, in the case of the Airframe, or at the time of removal, in the case of an Engine, the Landing Gear and the APU) is insufficient to satisfy a claim for reimbursement in respect of the Airframe or such Engine, as applicable, the shortfall may not be carried forward or made the subject of any further claim for reimbursement. 40
13.7 REIMBURSEMENT AFTER TERMINATION DATE. LESSEE may not submit any invoice for reimbursement from the Reserves after the Termination Date unless on or prior to such date LESSEE has notified LESSOR in writing that such outstanding invoice will be submitted after the Termination Date and the anticipated amount of such invoice. So long as LESSEE has provided such notice to LESSOR, LESSEE may then submit outstanding invoices at any time within six (6) months after the Termination Date. Subject to the foregoing, any balance remaining in the Reserves on the Termination Date will be retained by LESSOR, **Material Redacted**. 41
ARTICLE 14 TITLE AND REGISTRATION 14.1 TITLE TO THE AIRCRAFT DURING LEASE TERM. Title to the Aircraft will be and remain vested in LESSOR. LESSOR and LESSEE intend this Lease to be a "true lease". LESSEE will have no right, title or interest in the Aircraft except as provided in this Lease. 14.2 REGISTRATION OF AIRCRAFT. LESSEE at its sole cost and expense will (a) register and maintain registration of the Aircraft in the name of LESSOR at the register of aircraft in the State of Registration and (b) from time to time take all other steps then required by Law (including the Geneva Convention if applicable) or by practice, custom or understanding or as LESSOR may reasonably request to protect and perfect LESSOR's interest in the Aircraft and this Lease in the State of Registration or in any other jurisdictions in or over which LESSEE may operate the Aircraft. 14.3 FILING OF OTIS LEASE. To the extent permitted by Law and in accordance with the requirements of the Law from time to time, LESSEE at its sole cost and expense will cause this Lease to be kept, filed, recorded and refilled or rerecorded in the State of Registration and in any other offices necessary to protect LESSOR's rights hereunder. 14.4 EVIDENCE OF REGISTRATION AND FILINGS. As LESSOR may reasonably request from time to time (but not more often than once annually unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), LESSEE will furnish to LESSOR an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to LESSOR of the registrations and filings required hereunder. 42

ARTICLE 16 TAXES 16.1 GENERAL OBLIGATION OF LESSEE. Except as set forth in Article 16.2, LESSEE agrees to pay promptly when due, and to indemnify and hold harmless LESSOR on a full indemnity basis from, all license and registration fees and all taxes, fees, levies, imposts, duties, charges, deductions or withholdings of any nature (including without limitation any value added, franchise, transfer, sales, gross receipts, use, business, excise, turnover, personal property, stamp or other tax) together with any assessments, penalties, fines, additions to tax or interest thereon, however or wherever imposed (whether imposed upon LESSEE, LESSOR, on all or part of the Aircraft, the Engines or otherwise), by any Government Entity or taxing authority in the U.S., Panama or any foreign country or by any international taxing authority (including the City or County of Los Angeles), upon or with respect to, based upon or measured by any of the following (collectively, "TAXES"): (a) the Aircraft, Engines, APU or any Parts; (b) the use, operation or maintenance of the Aircraft or carriage of passengers or freight during the Lease Term and until the Termination Date; (c) this Lease, the payments due hereunder and the terms and conditions hereof; and (d) the ownership, financing, delivery, import or export, return, sale, payment of Total Loss Proceeds or other disposition of the Aircraft. 16.2 EXCEPTIONS TO INDEMNITY. The indemnity provided for in Article 16.1 does not extend to any of the following Taxes: (a) Taxes imposed by the U.S. or the State of California on the net income, gross receipts, capital, turnover or net worth and franchise taxes of LESSOR; (b) Taxes in jurisdictions in which LESSOR would have been subject to Tax to the extent that the parties had not consummated this transaction; provided, however, that if LESSEE's operation of the Aircraft to a jurisdiction and the operation of other aircraft owned by LESSOR to such jurisdiction causes LESSOR to be liable for any tax, then LESSEE will pay the portion of such Tax attributed to LESSEE's operations in such jurisdiction; (c) Taxes imposed in connection with a LESSOR's voluntary transfer or other disposition of all or any part of its interest in the Aircraft (or any part thereof) or this Lease other than resulting from an Event of Default which shall have occurred and be continuing or other foreclosure, seizure or sale of the Aircraft resulting from LESSEE's action or inaction; (d) Taxes imposed as a direct result of any LESSOR Lien; 45
(e) any additional or incremental tax which arise solely as a result of LESSOR's failure to provide information necessary, for LESSEE to properly complete and file any tax return or request an otherwise legally available exemption; (f) Taxes solely attributable a sale or transfer of the Aircraft not resulting from an act or omission of LESSEE; (g) Taxes attributable to the period prior to Delivery or after the Termination Date; or (h) Taxes attributable to LESSOR's gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Lease. 16.3 AFTER-TAX BASIS. The amount which LESSEE is required to pay with respect to any Taxes indemnified against under Article 16.1 is an amount sufficient to restore LESSOR on an after-tax basis to the same position LESSOR would have been in had such Taxes not been incurred. LESSEE may satisfy its obligations under this Article 16 by paying and indemnifying LESSOR for Taxes payable by LESSEE hereunder or grossing up payments made pursuant to this Lease in an amount sufficient to allow LESSOR to pay such Taxes and receive the full benefit of this Lease provided LESSEE will not be obligated to pay such Tax obligations twice as a result of gross-up and indemnity. 16.4 TIMING OF PAYMENT. Any amount payable to LESSOR pursuant to this Article 16 will be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefor from LESSOR accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount so payable; provided, however, that such amount need not be paid by LESSEE prior to the earlier of (a) the date any Tax is payable to the appropriate Government Entity or taxing authority or (b) in the case of amounts which are being contested by LESSEE in good faith or by LESSOR pursuant to Article 16.5, the date such contest is finally resolved. 16.5 CONTESTS. If a claim is made against LESSOR for Taxes with respect to which LESSEE is liable for a payment or indemnity under this Lease, LESSOR will promptly give LESSEE notice in writing of such claim; provided, however, that LESSOR's failure to give notice will not relieve LESSEE of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure impairs or precludes LESSEE's ability to contest the claim or to the extent such failure results in additional liability to LESSEE. So long as (a) a contest of such Taxes does not involve any danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or any interest therein, (b) if LESSOR so requests, LESSEE has provided LESSOR with an opinion of independent tax counsel that a reasonable basis exists for contesting such claim and (c) adequate reserves have been made for such Taxes or, if required, an adequate bond has been posted, then LESSOR at LESSEE's written request will in good faith, with due diligence and at LESSEE's expense, contest (or permit LESSEE to contest in the name of LESSEE or LESSOR) the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes. 46
16.6 REFUNDS. Upon receipt by LESSOR of a refund of all or any part of any Taxes (including any deductions or withholdings referred to in Article 5.8) which LESSEE has paid, LESSOR will pay to LESSEE the net amount of such Taxes refunded. 16.7 COOPERATION IN FILING TAX RETURNS. LESSEE and LESSOR will cooperate with one another in providing information which may be reasonably required to fulfill each party's tax filing requirements and any audit information request arising from such filing. 16.8 TAX RESTRUCTURING. In the event that any withholding, value added tax or similar tax or duty is payable in the State of Registration or any jurisdiction from which such payments originate in respect of any Rent, Reserves or other amounts payable pursuant to this Lease, LESSEE and LESSOR will cooperate in good faith to restructure this Lease in a manner which minimizes or eliminates any such tax including a synthetic lease through another country which has favorable tax treatment of such payments. 16.9 SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. The representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements of LESSEE provided for in this Article 16 will survive the Termination Date. 47
ARTICLE 17 INDEMNITIES 17.1 GENERAL INDEMNITY. Except as set forth in Article 17.2, LESSEE agrees to indemnify and hold harmless LESSOR and its officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders (individually an "INDEMNITEE" and collectively "INDEMNITEES") from any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses (including legal fees, costs and related expenses) of every kind and nature, whether or not any of the transactions contemplated by this Lease are consummated (collectively "EXPENSES"), which are imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee and which are in any way relating to, based on or arising out of any of the following: (a) this Lease or any transactions contemplated hereby; (b) the operation, possession, use, non-use, control, leasing, subleasing, maintenance, storage, overhaul, testing or inspections of the Aircraft, any Engine, the APU or any Part (whether by LESSEE, any sublessee or any other Person other than LESSOR or any Person claiming by or through LESSOR in violation of LESSOR's covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in Article 21.2) during the Lease Term and until the Termination Date or the acceptance flights at return, whether or not the same is in compliance with the terms of this Lease, including without limitation claims for death, personal injury, property damage, other loss or harm to any Person and claims relating to any Laws, including without limitation environmental control, noise and pollution laws, rules or regulations; (c) the manufacture, design, acceptance, improper rejection, delivery, return, sale after an Event of Default, import, export, condition, repair, modification, servicing, customer, product support, information or training provided by Manufacturer and other vendors, airworthiness, registration, reregistration, performance, sublease, merchantability, fitness for use, substitution or replacement of an Engine, APU or any Part by LESSEE under this Lease or other transfer of use or possession of the Aircraft, an Engine, the APU or any Part, including under a pooling or interchange arrangement, including without limitation latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable and patent, trademark or copyright infringement; (d) the prevention or attempt to prevent the arrest, confiscation, seizure, taking in execution, impounding, forfeiture or detention of the Aircraft, or in securing the release of the Aircraft; or (e) as a consequence of any Default or Event of Default by LESSEE. The foregoing indemnity by LESSEE is intended to include and cover any Expense to which an Indemnitee may be subject (in contract, tort, strict liability or under any other theory) regardless of the negligence, active or passive or any other type, of such Indemnitee, so long as such Expense does not fall within any of the exceptions listed in Article 17.2. 48
17.2 EXCEPTIONS TO GENERAL INDEMNITIES. The indemnity provided for in Article 17.1 will not extend to Expenses of any Indemnitee to the extent resulting from or arising out of any of the following: (a) Expenses which have resulted from the willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; (b) Expenses which are attributable to acts or events which occur after the Termination Date and return of the Aircraft to LESSOR in the condition required hereunder, but in any such case only to the extent not attributable to acts or omissions of LESSEE; (c) **Material Redacted**; (d) **Material Redacted**; (e) **Material Redacted**; (f) Expenses solely attributable a sale or transfer of the Aircraft not resulting from an act or omission of LESSEE; (g) Expenses representing Taxes, it being acknowledged that the terms of Article 16 apply exclusively to LESSEE's indemnity obligations with respect to Taxes; or (h) Expenses due to the breach by LESSOR (or any person lawfully claiming through LESSOR) of its covenant of quiet enjoyment pursuant to Article 21.2 (except to the extent covered by the insurances LESSEE is required to carry pursuant to Article 18 or other LESSEE insurances). 17.3 AFTER-TAX BASIS. The amount which LESSEE will be required to pay with respect to any Expense indemnified against under Article 17.1 will be an amount sufficient to restore the Indemnitee, on an after-tax basis, to the same position such Indemnitee would have been in had such Expense not been incurred after taking into account the amount of any credits, deductions or other Tax benefits or savings realized by such Indemnitee. 17.4 TIMING OF PAYMENT. It is the intent of the parties that each Indemnitee will have the right to indemnification for Expenses hereunder as soon as a claim is made and as soon as an Expense is incurred, whether or not such claim is meritorious and whether or not liability is established (but subject to Article 17.8). LESSEE will pay an Indemnitee for Expenses pursuant to this Article 17 within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity. 17.5 SUBROGATION. Upon the payment in full of any indemnity pursuant to this Article 17 by LESSEE, LESSEE will be subrogated to any right of the Indemnitee in respect of the matter against which such indemnity has been made. 49
17.6 NOTICE. Each Indemnitee and LESSEE will give prompt written notice one to the other of any liability of which such party has knowledge for which LESSEE is, or may be, liable under Article 17.1; provided, however, that failure to give such notice will not terminate any of the rights of Indemnitees under this Article 17 except to the extent that LESSEE has been prejudiced by the failure to provide such notice. 17.7 REFUNDS. If any Indemnitee obtains a recovery of all or any part of any amount which LESSEE has paid to such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee will pay to LESSEE the net amount recovered by such Indemnitee. 17.8 DEFENSE OF CLAIMS. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, LESSEE and its insurers will have the right (in each such case at LESSEE's sole expense) to investigate or, provided that LESSEE or its insurers have not reserved the right to dispute liability with respect to any insurance policies pursuant to which coverage is sought, defend or compromise any claim covered by insurance for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Article 17.1 and each Indemnitee will cooperate with LESSEE or its insurers with respect thereto. If LESSEE or its insurers are retaining attorneys to handle such claim, such counsel must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitees. If not, the Indemnitees will have the right to retain counsel of their choice at LESSEE's expense. 17.9 SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATION. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, the provisions of this Article 17 will survive the Termination Date and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any breach by LESSOR or LESSEE of the terms of this Lease, the termination of the lease of the Aircraft to LESSEE under this Lease or the repudiation by LESSOR or LESSEE of this Lease. 50
ARTICLE 18 INSURANCE 18.1 CATEGORIES OF INSURANCE. Throughout the Lease Term and until the Termination Date, LESSEE will, at its own expense, effect and maintain in full force-and effect the types of insurance and amounts of insurance (including deductibles) described in Exhibit C through such brokers and with such insurers as may be approved by LESSOR (acting reasonably and in consultation with the other providers of LESSEE's aircraft), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, in London or New York or such other insurance markets as mutually agreed upon by the parties. 18.2 WRITE-BACK OF ANY DATE RECOGNITION EXCLUSION. In the event any of LESSEE's insurances (either the primary insurance or the reinsurance) contain any date recognition exclusion clause or similar clause excluding from such insurance coverage damage to any property (including the Aircraft) or death or injury to any person on account of accidents, incidents or occurrences caused by date recognition or other Year 2000-related problems, LESSEE at its cost will obtain for the benefit of itself and LESSOR the broadest write-back available in the insurance market where Lessee places its insurance with respect to such exclusion. 18.3 INSTALLATION OF THIRD PARTY ENGINE. If LESSEE installs an engine not owned by LESSOR on the Aircraft, either (a) LESSEE's hull insurance on the Aircraft will automatically increase to such higher amount as is necessary in order to satisfy both LESSOR's requirement to receive the Agreed Value in the event of a Total Loss and the amount required by the third party engine owner or (b) separate additional insurance on such engine will attach in order to satisfy separately the requirements of the LESSEE to such third party engine owner. 18.4 INSURANCE FOR INDEMNITIES. The insurance referred to in Article 18.1 will in each case include and insure (to the extent of the risks covered by the policies) the indemnity provisions of Article 17 and LESSEE will maintain such insurance of the indemnities for a minimum of two (2) years following the Termination Date. 18.5 INSURANCE REQUIRED BY MANUFACTURER. During the Lease Term, LESSEE will carry such insurance as may be required by Manufacturer in connection with LESSOR's assignment of Manufacturer's warranties and product support to LESSEE. 18.6 RENEWAL. Prior to the expiration or termination date of any insurance required hereunder, LESSEE will provide LESSOR with fax confirmation from LESSEE's insurance brokers that renewed certificates of insurance evidencing the renewal or replacement of such insurance and complying with Exhibit C will be issued on the termination date of the prior certificate. Within seven (7) days after such renewal, LESSEE will furnish its brokers' certificates of insurance to LESSOR. 18.7 ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS BY LESSOR. If LESSOR assigns all or any of its rights under this Lease as permitted by this Lease or otherwise disposes of any interest in the Aircraft to any other Person as permitted by this Lease, LESSEE will, upon request, procure that such Person hereunder be substituted as loss payee for LESSOR (without duplication in respect of hull, all 51
risks, hull war and allied perils risk coverage) and/or be added as an additional assured in the policies effected hereunder and enjoy the same rights and insurance enjoyed by LESSOR under such policies. LESSOR will nevertheless continue to be covered by such policies. 18.8 DEDUCTIBLES. If there is a material adverse change in the financial condition of LESSEE which LESSOR reasonably believes will cause LESSEE to be unable to pay the deductible upon the occurrence of a partial loss of the Aircraft or an Engine, then LESSOR (acting reasonably and in consultation with the other providers of LESSEE's aircraft) may require LESSEE at LESSEE's expense to lower its deductibles on the insurance maintained hereunder to a level which is available on commercially reasonable terms in the insurance market. 18.9 INSURANCE FOR WET LEASE OPERATIONS. In the event LESSEE is performing wet lease operations with the Aircraft pursuant to Article 11.5 and the wet lessee is carrying the primary passenger, baggage and cargo liability insurance with respect to the flights, then such insurance must meet the requirements of Exhibit C, including with respect to the amounts of coverage, naming of LESSOR as an additional insured and inclusion of the other endorsements set forth in Exhibit C. Moreover, LESSEE will at such times carry contingent passenger, baggage and cargo liability insurances for such flights. Prior to commencement of wet lease operations for a particular wet lessee where wet lessee will provide such coverage, LESSOR will receive certificates of insurance from the insurance brokers for LESSEE and, if applicable, the wet lessee evidencing such coverages. 18.10 OTHER INSURANCE. LESSOR may (acting reasonably and in consultation with the other providers of LESSEE's aircraft) from time to time by notice to LESSEE require LESSEE at LESSEE's expense to effect such other insurance or such variations to the terms of the existing insurance as may then be customary in the airline industry for aircraft of the same type as the Aircraft operated by similarly situated operators and at the time commonly available in the insurance market. 18.11 INFORMATION. LESSEE will provide LESSOR with any information reasonably requested by LESSOR from time to time concerning the insurance maintained with respect to the Aircraft or in connection with any claim being made or proposed to be made thereunder. 18.12 CURRENCY. All proceeds of insurance pursuant to this Lease will be payable in Dollars except as may be otherwise agreed by LESSOR except that third party liability coverage may be payable in the currency of the claim. 18.13 GROUNDING OF AIRCRAFT. If at any time any of the insurance required pursuant to this Lease will cease to be in full force and effect, LESSEE will promptly ground the Aircraft and keep the Aircraft grounded until such time as such insurance is in full force and effect again. 18.14 FAILURE TO INSURE. If at any time LESSEE fails to maintain insurance in compliance with this Article 18, LESSOR will be entitled but not bound to do any of the following (without prejudice to any other rights which it may have under this Lease by reason of such failure): (a) to pay any premiums due or to effect or maintain insurance meeting the requirements hereof or otherwise remedy such failure in such manner as LESSOR 52
considers appropriate (and LESSEE will upon demand reimburse LESSOR in full for any amount so expended in that connection); or (b) at any time while such failure is continuing, to require the Aircraft to remain at any airport or (as the case may be), proceed to and remain at any airport designated by LESSOR, until such failure is remedied. 18.15 REINSURANCE. Any reinsurance will be maintained with reinsurers and brokers approved by LESSOR (acting reasonably and in consultation with the other providers of LESSEE's aircraft). Such reinsurance will contain each of the following terms and will in all other respects (including amount) be satisfactory to LESSOR: (a) the same terms as the original insurance; (b) a cut-through and assignment clause satisfactory to LESSOR (acting reasonably and in consultation with the other providers of LESSEE's aircraft) and in accordance with industry practice; and (c) payment will be made notwithstanding (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or dissolution of any of the original insurers and/or (ii) that the original insurers have made no payment under the original insurance policies. 18.16 LIMIT ON HULL IN FAVOR OF LESSEE. LESSEE may carry hull all risks or hull war and allied perils on the Aircraft in excess of the Agreed Value (which is payable to LESSOR) only to the extent such excess insurance which would be payable to LESSEE in the event of a Total Loss does not exceed **Material Redacted** of the Agreed Value and only to the extent that such additional insurance will not prejudice the insurances required herein or the recovery by LESSOR thereunder. LESSEE agrees that it will not create or permit to exist any liens or encumbrances over the insurances, or its interest therein, except as constituted by this Lease. 53
ARTICLE 19 LOSS, DAMAGE AND REQUISITION Throughout the Lease Term and until the Termination Date, LESSEE will bear all risk of loss, theft, damage and destruction to the Aircraft. 19.1 DEFINITIONS. In this Article 19 and this Lease: "AGREED VALUE" means an amount equal to **Material Redacted** is expressed in January 2004 U.S. Dollars which amount will increase in accordance with Manufacturer's Escalation Rate. **Material Redacted**. "NET TOTAL LOSS PROCEEDS" means the Total Loss Proceeds actually received by LESSOR following a Total Loss, less any legal and other out-of-pocket expenses, taxes or duties incurred by LESSOR in connection with the collection of such proceeds. "TOTAL LOSS" means any of the following in relation to the Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or the APU and "TOTAL LOSS DATE" means the date set forth in parenthesis after each Total Loss: (a) destruction, damage beyond repair or being rendered permanently unfit for normal use for any reason (the date such event occurs or, if not known, the date on which the Aircraft, Airframe, Engine or APU was last heard of); (b) actual, constructive, compromised, arranged or agreed total loss (the earlier of the date on which the loss is agreed or compromised by the insurers or forty five (45) days after the date of notice to LESSEE's brokers or insurers claiming such total loss); (c) requisition of title, confiscation, forfeiture or any compulsory acquisition or other similar event (the date on which the same takes effect); (d) sequestration, detention, seizure or any similar event for more than forty-five (45) consecutive days (the earlier of the date on which insurers make payment on the basis of a total loss or the date of expiration of such period); (e) requisition for use for more than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days, except as set forth in Article 19.9 (the earlier of the date on which the insurers make payment on the basis of a total loss or the date of expiration of such period); (f) in the case of an Engine, the event described in Article 12.8.3 (the date on which the same takes effect); (g) a proper, lawful sale of the Aircraft in connection with Eurocontrol charges owed by LESSEE (the date on which the sale occurs); 54
(h) any sale of the Aircraft in connection with a LESSEE bankruptcy, whether by an administrator, trustee or court (the date on which the intent to sell the Aircraft becomes known); or (i) any other occurrence not permitted under this Lease (including a violation of the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in Article 21.2) which deprives LESSEE of use or possession for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days or longer (the 90th day of such period) except where full insurance on the Aircraft is in effect or a full indemnity acceptable to LESSOR in lieu thereof exists and all other provisions of this Lease are being complied with (the ninetieth (90th) day of such period). "TOTAL LOSS PROCEEDS" means the proceeds of any insurance or any compensation or similar payment arising in respect of a Total Loss. 19.2 NOTICE OF TOTAL LOSS. LESSEE will notify LESSOR in writing within three (3) Business Days after a Total Loss Date of the Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or the APU. 19.3 TOTAL LOSS OF AIRCRAFT OR AIRFRAME. If the Total Loss of the Aircraft or Airframe occurs during the Lease Term, the following will occur: 19.3.1 After the Total Loss Date and until receipt by LESSOR of the Agreed Value and all other amounts then due under this Lease, LESSEE will continue to pay Rent and the parties will perform all of their other obligations under this Lease. 19.3.2 On the date which is the earlier of the following dates: (a) the date on which the Total Loss Proceeds of the Aircraft or the Airframe are paid by LESSEE's insurance underwriters or brokers and (b) the date which falls forty (45) days after the Total Loss Date, LESSEE will pay to LESSOR an amount equal to the sum of: (c) the Agreed Value and (d) all other amounts then accrued under this Lease, less an amount equal to the Net Total Loss Proceeds received by LESSOR by such date. 19.3.3 LESSOR will apply the Net Total Loss Proceeds and any amounts received from LESSEE pursuant to Article 19.3.2 as follows: (a) first, in discharge of any unpaid Rent and any other amounts accrued and unpaid up to the date of LESSOR's receipt of the Agreed Value; (b) second, in discharge of the Agreed Value; and (c) third, payment of the balance, if any, to LESSEE. 55
19.3.4 Upon receipt by LESSOR of all monies payable by LESSEE in Article 19.3, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, this Lease will terminate except for LESSEE's obligations under Articles 10.5, 16 and 17 which survive the Termination Date. FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE AGREED VALUE OF THE AIRCRAFT WILL BE PAYABLE TO LESSOR PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE 19.3 WHEN A TOTAL LOSS OF THE AIRFRAME OCCURS EVEN IF THERE HAS NOT BEEN A TOTAL LOSS OF AN ENGINE, ENGINES OR THE APU. 19.4 SURVIVING ENGINE(S). If a Total Loss of the Airframe occurs and there has not been a Total Loss of an Engine or Engines, then, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the request of LESSEE (subject to agreement of relevant insurers) and on receipt of all monies due under Article 19.3 and payment by LESSEE of all airport, navigation and other charges on the Aircraft then due and owing, if any, LESSOR will transfer all its right, title and interest in the surviving Engine(s) to LESSEE, but without any responsibility, condition or warranty on the part of LESSOR other than as to freedom from any LESSOR's Liens. 19.5 TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE AND NOT AIRFRAME. 19.5.1 Upon a Total Loss of any Engine not installed on the Airframe or a Total Loss of an Engine installed on the Airframe not involving a Total Loss of the Airframe, LESSEE will replace such Engine as soon as reasonably possible by duly conveying or causing to be conveyed to LESSOR title to another engine from LESSEE (or another Person with reasonable net worth or a guarantee from LESSEE) (a) free and clear of all Security Interests (except Permitted Liens) of any kind or description, (b) in airworthy condition and of the same or improved model, service bulletin and modification status and having a value and utility at least equal to the Engine which sustained the Total Loss, (c) not older (by reference to serial number or manufacture date) than the older of the two Engines delivered by LESSOR to LESSEE with the Aircraft on the Delivery Date and (d) in the same or better operating condition as the Engine which sustained a Total Loss, including time in service, hours and cycles since new and hours and cycles available to the next inspection, Overhaul or scheduled or anticipated removal. Such replacement engine will be an "Engine" as defined herein and the Engine which sustained such Total Loss will cease to be an "Engine". 19.5.2 LESSEE agrees at its own expense to take such action as LESSOR may reasonably request in order that any such replacement Engine becomes the property of LESSOR and is leased hereunder on the same terms as the destroyed Engine. LESSEE's obligation to pay Rent will continue in full force and effect, but an amount equal to the Net Total Loss Proceeds received by LESSOR with respect to such destroyed Engine will, subject to LESSOR's right to deduct therefrom any amounts then due and payable by LESSEE under this Lease, be promptly paid to LESSEE. 56
19.5.3 Notwithstanding Articles 19.5.1 and 19.5.2, if at the time of a Total Loss of an Engine not installed on the Aircraft or a Total Loss of an Engine installed on the Airframe not involving a Total Loss of the Airframe, LESSOR and LESSEE are parties to a spare engine lease pursuant to which LESSOR is leasing a spare engine to LESSEE of the same model and type as the Engine which has suffered such Total Loss, LESSOR will receive from LESSEE the replacement cost of the Engine instead of accepting a replacement engine. One (1) of such LESSOR spare engines will then be substituted under this Lease for the Engine which suffered such Total Loss and the applicable spare engine lease will terminate. 19.6 TOTAL LOSS OF APU. 19.6.1 Upon a Total Loss of the APU when not installed on the Airframe or a Total Loss of the APU while installed on the Airframe not involving a Total Loss of the Airframe, LESSEE will replace such APU as soon as reasonably possible by duly conveying or causing to be conveyed to LESSOR title to another auxiliary power unit (a) free and clear of all Security Interests (except Permitted Liens) of any kind or description, (b) in airworthy condition and of the same or improved model, service bulletin and modification status and having a value and utility at least equal to the APU which sustained the Total Loss, (c) not older (by reference to serial number or manufacture date) than the APU delivered by LESSOR to LESSEE with the Aircraft on the Delivery Date and (d) in the same or better operating condition as the APU which sustained the Total Loss, including time in service, hours and cycles since new and hours and cycles available to the next inspection, Overhaul or scheduled or anticipated removal. Such replacement auxiliary power unit will be the "APU" as defined herein and the auxiliary power unit which sustained such Total Loss will cease to be the "APU". 19.6.2 LESSEE agrees at its own expense to take such action as LESSOR may reasonably request in order that any such replacement APU becomes the property of LESSOR and is leased hereunder on the same terms as the destroyed APU. LESSEE's obligation to pay Rent will continue in full force and effect, but an amount equal to the Net Total Loss Proceeds received by LESSOR with respect to such destroyed APU will, subject to LESSOR's right to deduct therefrom any amounts then due and payable by LESSEE under this Lease, promptly be paid to LESSEE. 19.7 OTHER LOSS OR DAMAGE. 19.7.1 If the Aircraft or any Part thereof suffers loss or damage not constituting a Total Loss of the Aircraft or the Airframe or any Engine or the APU, all the obligations of LESSEE under this Lease (including payment of Rent) will continue in full force. 19.7.2 In the event of any loss or damage to the Aircraft or Airframe which does not constitute a Total Loss of the Aircraft or the Airframe, or any loss or damage to 57
an Engine or the APU which does not constitute a Total Loss of such Engine or the APU, LESSEE will at its sole cost and expense fully repair the Aircraft, Engine or APU in order that the Aircraft, Engine or APU is placed in an airworthy condition and substantially the same condition as it was prior to such loss or damage. All repairs will be performed in a manner which preserves and maintains all warranties and service life policies to the same extent as they existed prior to such loss or damage. LESSEE will notify LESSOR promptly of any loss, theft or damage to the Aircraft for which the cost of repairs is estimated to exceed **Material Redacted**, together with LESSEE's proposal for carrying out the repair. In the event that LESSOR does not agree with LESSEE's proposals for repair, LESSOR will so notify LESSEE within two (2) Business Days after its receipt of such proposal. LESSEE and LESSOR will then consult with Manufacturer and LESSEE and LESSOR agree to accept as conclusive, and be bound by, Manufacturer's directions or recommendations as to the manner in which to carry out such repairs. If Manufacturer declines to give directions or recommendations, LESSEE will carry out the repairs in accordance with the reasonable directions of LESSOR. 19.8 COPY OF INSURANCE POLICY. Promptly after the occurrence of a partial loss or Total Loss of the Aircraft, an Engine or the APU, LESSEE will provide LESSOR with all reasonable assistance in determining coverage under LESSEE's insurance policy. 19.9 GOVERNMENT REQUISITION. If the Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or the APU is requisitioned for use by any Goverment Entity, LESSEE will promptly notify LESSOR of such requisition. All of LESSEE's obligations hereunder will continue as if such requisition had not occurred. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments received by LESSOR or LESSEE from such Government Entity will be paid over to or retained by LESSEE.

23.8 CERTIFICATE OF AIRWORTHINESS MATTERS. 23.8.1 The Aircraft will possess a current Certificate of Airworthiness issued by the Aviation Authority (although this Certificate of Airworthiness may later be substituted by the Export Certificate of Airworthiness or equivalent if requested by LESSOR pursuant to Article 23.12). In addition, even if LESSEE must perform engineering, maintenance and repair work on the Aircraft beyond the requirements of Article 12, the Aircraft at return must be in the condition required in order to meet the requirements for issuance of a U.S. Standard Certificate of Airworthiness for transport category aircraft issued by the FAA in accordance with FAR Part 21 and, in addition, to meet the operating requirements of FAR Part 121 with no restrictions imposed. 23.8.2 At LESSOR's request, LESSEE at its cost will demonstrate that the Aircraft meets the requirements for issuance of the U.S. Standard Certificate of Airworthiness for transport category aircraft specified in Article 23.8.1 by delivering to LESSOR at LESSOR's option either an actual U.S. Standard Certificate of Airworthiness (if the Aircraft is to be registered in the U.S.) or a letter acceptable to LESSOR signed by an FAA Designated Airworthiness Representative (DAR) or another Person acceptable to LESSOR stating that the DAR or such Person has inspected the Aircraft and Aircraft Documentation (including records and manuals) and has found that the Aircraft meets the requirements for issuance of a U.S. Standard Certificate of Airworthiness for transport category aircraft in accordance with FAR Part 21 and, in addition, meets the operating requirements of FAR Part 121 with no restrictions imposed. 23.8.3 If the Aircraft is to be registered in a country other than in the U.S. after return from LESSEE, LESSOR may in its sole discretion waive the requirements of Article 23.8.2 and instead require that LESSEE at its expense (to the extent such expense is no greater than that which LESSEE would have incurred pursuant to Articles 23.8.1 and 23.8.2, with any additional expenses being for LESSOR's account) put the Aircraft in a condition to meet the requirements for issuance of a Certificate of Airworthiness of the aviation authority of the next country of register. 23.9 GENERAL CONDITION OF AIRCRAFT AT RETURN. 23.9.1 The Aircraft, Engines, APU and Parts will have been maintained and repaired in accordance with the Maintenance Program, the rules and regulations of the Aviation Authority and this Lease. 23.9.2 Aircraft Documentation (including records and manuals) will have been maintained in an up-to-date status, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Aviation Authority and the FAA and this Lease and in a form necessary in order to meet the requirements of Article 23.8.1. The records and historical documents set forth in Attachment 1 of Exhibit J will be in English. If LESSEE subscribes to Manufacturer's on-line data access services, LESSEE must 68
nonetheless return the Aircraft manuals with all current revisions provided by Manufacturer in CD, microfilm or other format acceptable to LESSOR. 23.9.3 The Aircraft will be in the same working order and condition as at Delivery (subject to the other provisions of this Article 23, reasonable wear and tear from normal flight operations excepted), with all pilot discrepancies and deferred maintenance items cleared on a terminating action basis. 23.9.4 The Aircraft will be airworthy (conform to type design and be in a condition for safe operation), with all Aircraft equipment, components and systems operating in accordance with their intended use and within limits approved by Manufacturer, the Aviation Authority and the FAA. 23.9.5 The Aircraft interior (including cabin and windows) and exterior will be clean and cosmetically acceptable to LESSOR, with all compartments free of foreign objects, dirt, grease, fluids, stains, grime, cracks, tears and rips and ready to be placed into immediate commercial airline operations. 23.9.6 No special or unique Manufacturer, Engine manufacturer or Aviation Authority inspection or check requirements which are specific to the Aircraft or Engines (as opposed to all aircraft or engines of their types) will exist with respect to the Airframe, Engines and Aircraft equipment, components and systems. 23.9.7 All repairs to the Aircraft will have been accomplished in accordance with Manufacturer's Structural Repair Manual (or FAA-approved data supported by FAA Form 8110-3) for the Aircraft. 23.9.8 All modifications and alterations to the Aircraft will have been accomplished in accordance with FAA-approved data supported by FAA Form 8110-3. 23.9.9 The Aircraft will be returned with LESSOR's Engines and APU installed and with the same equipment as at Delivery, subject only to those replacements, additions and Modifications permitted under this Lease. To the extent LESSEE performed a Modification which cost in excess of **Material Redacted** and LESSOR did not approve such Modification in accordance with Article 12.10.1, LESSOR may require LESSEE to return the Aircraft in its original condition prior to such Modification. 23.9.10 All Airworthiness Directives which are issued prior to the date of return of the Aircraft and require compliance (either by means of repetitive inspections, modifications or terminating action) prior to return of the Aircraft to LESSOR or within **Material Redacted** after the Termination Date will have been complied with on the Aircraft on a terminating action basis at LESSEE's cost. Airworthiness Directives which do not have a terminating action will be accomplished at the highest level of inspection or modification possible. If, after using best efforts, LESSEE is unable to acquire the material, parts or components necessary to accomplish such Airworthiness Directive, LESSEE will pay to LESSOR upon return of the Aircraft the estimated cost of 69
terminating such Airworthiness Directive. If the estimated cost cannot be mutually agreed upon by LESSEE and LESSOR, LESSEE and LESSOR will each obtain an estimate from a reputable FAA approved maintenance facility (unaffiliated with LESSEE or LESSOR) and the estimated cost will be the average of the two estimates. 23.9.11 All modifications which must be performed prior to the date of return of the Aircraft or within **Material Redacted** after the Termination Date in order to meet the FAA requirements for FAR Part 121 operations will have been incorporated on the Aircraft at LESSEE's cost. 23.9.12 The Aircraft will be in compliance with Manufacturer's Corrosion Prevention and Control Program (CPCP) specified for the model type by Manufacturer. 23.9.13 If any waivers, deviations, dispensations, alternate means of compliance, extensions or carry-overs with respect to maintenance or operating requirements, repairs or Airworthiness Directives are granted by the Aviation Authority or permitted by the Maintenance Program, LESSEE at its sole cost and expense will nonetheless perform such maintenance or operating requirements, repairs or Airworthiness Directives as if such waivers, deviations, dispensations, alternate means of compliance, or extensions or carry-overs did not exist. 23.9.14 The Aircraft will be free from any Security Interest except LESSOR's Liens and no circumstance will have so arisen whereby the Aircraft is or could become subject to any Security Interest or right of detention or sale in favor of the Aviation Authority, any airport authority, or any other authority. 23.9.15 All no-charge vendor and Manufacturer's service bulletin kits received by LESSEE for the Aircraft but not installed thereon will be on board the Aircraft as cargo. All no-charge vendor and Manufacturer's service bulletin kits ordered by LESSEE but not yet received will, upon receipt by LESSEE, be forwarded as instructed by LESSOR. At LESSOR's request, any other service bulletin kit which LESSEE paid for will also be delivered to LESSOR on board the Aircraft, but LESSOR will reimburse LESSEE for its actual out-of-pocket costs for such kit, unless LESSEE purchased such kit as part of its implementation of a service bulletin on its fleet of aircraft of the same type as the Aircraft but had not yet installed such kit on the Aircraft, in which case such kit will be furnished free of charge to LESSOR. 23.9.16 The Aircraft will be free of any leaks found to by outside of maintenance manual limits and any damage resulting therefrom. All repairs will have been performed on a permanent basis in accordance with the applicable manufacturer's instructions. 70
23.9.17 The Aircraft fluid reservoirs (including oil, oxygen, hydraulic and water) will be serviced to full and the waste tank serviced in accordance with Manufacturer's instructions. Fuel tanks will be at least as full as at Delivery. 23.10 CHECKS PRIOR TO RETURN. Immediately prior to return of the Aircraft to LESSOR, LESSEE at its expense will do each of the following: 23.10.1 Have performed, by an FAA-approved repair station, a Return Check ("RETURN CHECK") means the accomplishment of all work cards specified in the Maintenance Program and the MPD which (a) are necessary to clear the Aircraft of all such tasks for **Material Redacted**, or (b) are required to be performed at lesser intervals than **Material Redacted**. If pursuant to the then-current MPD, the performance interval for a task is shorter than every **Material Redacted**, then such task will also be performed. All non-routine tasks generated as a result of the performance of these work cards must also be performed. For avoidance of doubt, if the inspection interval pursuant to the then-current MPD for a particular work card only refers to one or two of the three measurement tests, then the most restrictive measurement test or tests referred to in the then-current MPD will be utilized in determining whether the task must be performed.). LESSEE will also weigh the Aircraft. Any discrepancies revealed during such inspection will be corrected in accordance with Manufacturer's maintenance and repair manuals or FAA-approved data. LESSEE agrees to perform during such check any other work reasonably required by LESSOR (and not otherwise required under this Lease) and LESSOR will reimburse LESSEE for such work at LESSEE's preferred customer rates. 23.10.2 Perform an internal and external corrosion inspection and correct any discrepancies in accordance with the recommendations of Manufacturer and the Structural Repair Manual. In addition, all inspected areas will be properly treated with corrosion inhibitor as recommended by Manufacturer. 23.10.3 Remove LESSEE's exterior markings, including all exterior paint, by pneumatically scuff sanding (or stripping, if reasonably determined by LESSOR taking into account the condition of the exterior paint) the paint from the fuselage, empennage and Engine cowlings, and clean, reseal, refinish, prepare (including application of alodine or another corrosion inhibitor) and prime the surfaces to be painted, all in accordance with Manufacturer's and paint manufacturer's recommendations. LESSEE will then repaint the fuselage, empennage and Engine cowlings in the colors and logo specified by LESSOR. Such painting will be accomplished in such a manner as to result in a uniformly smooth and cosmetically acceptable aerodynamic surface. All external placards, signs and markings will be properly attached, free from damage, clean and legible. **Material Redacted**. 23.10.4 Clean the exterior and interior of the Aircraft. 71
23.10.5 If reasonably required by LESSOR, apply touch-up paint to the interior of the Aircraft, including flight deck, and replace missing, broken or illegible placards. 23.10.6 In accordance with Article 23.9.7, permanently repair damage to the Aircraft that exceeds Manufacturer's limits and replace any non-flush structural patch repairs installed on the Aircraft with flush-type repairs unless a flush-type repair is unavailable. 23.10.7 With LESSOR and/or its representatives present, perform a full and complete hot and cold section videotape borescope on each Engine and its modules in accordance with the Engine manufacturer's maintenance manual. 23.10.8 If the Engine historical and technical records and/or condition trend monitoring data of any Engine indicate an acceleration in the rate of deterioration in the performance of an Engine, LESSEE will correct, to LESSOR's reasonable satisfaction, such conditions which are determined to be causing such accelerated rate of deterioration. 23.10.9 With LESSOR and/or its representatives present, accomplish a power assurance run on the Engines. LESSEE will evaluate the Engine performance and record the Engine power assurance test conditions and results on the Return Acceptance Receipt. 23.10.10 LESSEE will provide evidence to LESSOR's reasonable satisfaction that the Engine historical and technical records, borescope inspection, trend monitoring and other checks specified in Article 23.10.9 do not reveal any condition which would cause the Engines or any module to be unserviceable, beyond serviceable limits or serviceable with an increased frequency of inspection or with calendar time, flight hour or flight cycle restrictions under the Engine manufacturer's maintenance manual. LESSEE will correct any discrepancies in accordance with the guidelines set out by the Engine manufacturer which may be discovered during such inspection. 23.10.11 In the event the Engine historical and technical records, borescope inspection, trend monitoring and other checks specified in Article 23.10.9 result in a dispute regarding the conformity of an Engine with the requirements of this Article 23, LESSEE and LESSOR will consult with the Engine manufacturer and follow the Engine manufacturer's recommendations (including the accomplishment of an Engine test cell operational check) with regard to determining if such Engine complies with the requirements of this Article 23 and the manner in which any discrepancies from the requirements of this Article 23 will be rectified. 23.10.12 If the APU historical and technical records and/or condition trend monitoring data indicate an acceleration in the rate of deterioration in the performance of the APU, LESSEE will correct, to LESSOR's reasonable satisfaction, such conditions which are determined to be causing such accelerated rate of deterioration. 72
23.10.13 With LESSOR and/or its representatives present, perform a full and complete hot and cold section videotape borescope on the APU in accordance with the APU manufacturer's procedures. LESSEE will provide evidence to LESSOR's satisfaction that the borescope inspection does not reveal any condition which would cause the APU to be unserviceable, beyond serviceable limits or serviceable with an increased frequency of inspection or with calendar time, flight hour or flight cycle restrictions. LESSEE will correct any discrepancies in accordance with the guidelines set out by the APU manufacturer which may be discovered during such inspection. 23.11 PART LIVES. At return, the condition of the Aircraft will be as follows: 23.11.1 The Aircraft will have zero (0) hours consumed since the last Return Check or equivalent check per the MPD (excluding hours consumed on the acceptance flight and any ferry flight) sufficient to clear the Aircraft for **Material Redacted** of operation. 23.11.2 Each Engine will meet all of the following: (a) Each Engine will have **Material Redacted** remaining until its next anticipated removal (based upon the Engine manufacturer's estimated mean time between removals for engines of the same type as the Engines). (b) Each Engine will have a remaining EGT margin sufficient to permit the operation of such Engine for the hours and cycles set forth in the preceding subparagraph, based upon the historical experience of LESSEE. (c) Each Part of an Engine which has a hard time limit will have **Material Redacted** of such Part's full allotment of hours and cycles remaining to operate until its next scheduled Overhaul or removal. However, if **Material Redacted** of such hard time Part's full allotment of hours and cycles remaining is less than **Material Redacted**, then such hard time Part will be returned with at least **Material Redacted** remaining. If such hard time Part's full allotment of hours and cycles is less than 4,000 hours or 4,000 cycles (whichever is applicable), then such hard time Part will be returned with zero (0) hours and cycles since its last Overhaul or refurbishment, as applicable. (d) Each Part of an Engine which has a life-limit will have at least **Material Redacted** remaining until removal. If such life-limited Part's full allotment of hours and cycles is less than **Material Redacted**, then such life-limited Part will be returned new. (e) No life-limited Part of an Engine or APU will have more hours or cycles consumed than such Engine's data plate. 23.11.3 The APU will have no more than **Material Redacted** consumed since the last hot section refurbishment (excluding hours consumed on the acceptance flight and any ferry flight). 73
In addition, at return LESSEE will pay LESSOR an amount equal to the number of hours consumed on the APU at return since the last hot section refurbishment multiplied by an APU hot section refurbishment calculated as follows: such APU hot section refurbishment cost price per hour will be the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the expected cost of the next APU hot section refurbishment cost by (b) the full allotment of hours between hot section refurbishments as approved by the MPD. If LESSEE and LESSOR are unable to agree on the expected cost of the next scheduled APU hot section refurbishment, such cost will be established by taking the average of the price quotes submitted by two (2) reputable FAA-approved APU hot section refurbishment cost facilities (unaffiliated with LESSEE or LESSOR), one selected by LESSEE and the other selected by LESSOR. 23.11.4 The Landing Gear will have **Material Redacted** of hours/cycles/calendar time (whichever is the more limiting factor) pursuant to the MPD remaining until the next Overhaul or scheduled removal. In addition, at return LESSEE will pay LESSOR an amount equal to the number of hours/cycles/days (whichever is the more limiting factor) consumed on each Landing Gear at return since the last Overhaul multiplied by a Landing Gear Overhaul cost per hour/cycle/day calculated as follows: such Landing Gear Overhaul cost price per hour/cycle/day will be the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the expected cost of the next Landing Gear Overhaul by (b) the full allotment of hours/cycles/days between scheduled Overhauls for such Landing Gear as approved by the MPD. If LESSEE and LESSOR are unable to agree on the expected cost of the next scheduled Landing Gear Overhaul, such cost will be established by taking the average of the price quotes submitted by two (2) reputable FAA-approved landing gear Overhaul facilities (unaffiliated with LESSEE or LESSOR), one selected by LESSEE and the other selected by LESSOR. 23.11.5 Each Part of the Airframe or the APU which has a hard time (hour/cycle) limit to Overhaul or removal pursuant to the MPD will have **Material Redacted** of such Part's full allotment of hours and cycles remaining to operate until its next scheduled Overhaul or removal pursuant to the MPD. However, if **Material Redacted** of such hard time Part's full allotment of hours and cycles remaining is less than **Material Redacted**, then such hard time Part will be returned with at least **Material Redacted** remaining to operate until its next scheduled Overhaul or refurbishment pursuant to the MPD. If such hard time Part's full allotment of hours and cycles between, Overhauls or refurbishment pursuant to the MPD is less than **Material Redacted**, then such hard time Part will be returned zero (0) hours and zero (0) cycles out of Overhaul (except hours accumulated on any acceptance or ferry flight). 74
23.11.6 Each life-limited Part of the Airframe or the APU will have **Material Redacted** of such Part's full allotment of hours and cycles remaining to operate until removal pursuant to the MPD. However, if **Material Redacted** of such life-limited Part's full allotment of hours and cycles remaining is less than **Material Redacted**, then such life-limited Part will be returned with at least **Material Redacted** remaining to operate pursuant to the MPD. If such life-limited Part's full allotment of hours and cycles remaining to operate pursuant to the MPD is less than **Material Redacted**, then such life-limited Part will be returned with 100% of its total approved hours and cycles remaining. 23.11.7 Each Part which has a calendar limit will have **Material Redacted** remaining to operate pursuant to the MPD after return of the Aircraft to LESSOR. If a Part has a total approved life pursuant to the MPD of **Material Redacted**, then such Part will be returned with 100% of its total approved life remaining. 23.11.8 No Part of the Aircraft or Engine (excluding life-limited Parts on the Engine, which are covered by Article 23.11.2(e)) will have total hours and total cycles since new greater than **Material Redacted** of that of the Airframe **Material Redacted**. 23.11.9 Each Aircraft tire and brake **Material Redacted** (except for the acceptance flight and any ferry flight). 23.12 EXPORT AND DEREGISTRATION OF AIRCRAFT. At LESSOR's request, LESSEE at its cost will (a) provide an Export Certificate of Airworthiness or its equivalent from the State of Registration so that the Aircraft can be exported to the country designated by LESSOR, (b) assist with deregistration of the Aircraft from the register of aircraft in the State of Registration, (c) assist with arranging for prompt confirmation of such deregistration to be sent by the registry in the State of Registration to the next country of registration and (d) perform any other acts reasonably required by LESSOR in connection with the foregoing. **Material Redacted**. 23.13 LESSEE'S CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS. In the event that LESSEE does not return the Aircraft to LESSOR on the Expiration Date and in the condition required by this Article 23 for any reason (whether or not the reason is within LESSEE's control) unless such delay is as a result of work performed at the request of LESSOR pursuant to Article 23.10.1 or is otherwise over and above LESSEE's obligations pursuant to this Article 23: 23.13.1 the obligations of LESSEE under this Lease will continue in full force and effect on a day-to-day basis until such return. This will not be considered a waiver of LESSEE's Event of Default or any right of LESSOR hereunder. 23.13.2 **Material Redacted**. 23.13.3 LESSEE will fully indemnify LESSOR on demand for all losses (including consequential damages), liabilities, actions, proceedings, costs and expenses thereby suffered or incurred by LESSOR and, in addition, until such time as the 75
Aircraft is redelivered to LESSOR and put into the condition required by this Article 23, instead of paying the Rent specified in Article 5.3, LESSEE will pay twice the amount of Rent for each day from the scheduled Expiration Date until the Termination Date (the monthly Rent payable under Article 5.3.1 will be prorated based on the actual number of days in the applicable month). Payment will be made upon presentation of LESSOR's invoice. 23.13.4 LESSOR may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to accept the return of the Aircraft prior to the Aircraft being put in the condition required by this Article 23 and thereafter have any such non-conformance corrected at such time as LESSOR may deem appropriate (but within ninety (90) days following the return of the Aircraft) and at commercial rates then-charged by the Person selected by LESSOR to perform such correction. Any direct expenses incurred by LESSOR for such correction will be payable by LESSEE within fifteen (15) days following the submission of a written statement by LESSOR to LESSEE, identifying the items corrected and setting forth the expense of such corrections. LESSEE's obligation to pay such amounts will survive the Termination Date. 23.14 AIRPORT AND NAVIGATION CHARGES. LESSEE will ensure that at return of the Aircraft any and all airport, navigation and other charges which give rise or may if unpaid give rise to any lien, right of detention, right of sale or other Security Interest in relation to the Aircraft, Engine, APU or any Part have been paid and discharged in full and will at LESSOR's request produce evidence thereof satisfactory to LESSOR, except to the extent being contested in good faith provided LESSEE shall have agreed in writing to pay any such charges determined pursuant to such contest to be due and owing to the relevant authority. 23.15 RETURN ACCEPTANCE RECEIPT. Upon return of the Aircraft in accordance with the terms of this Lease, LESSEE will prepare and execute two (2) Return Acceptance Receipts in the form and substance of Exhibit J and LESSOR will countersign and return one such Return Acceptance Receipt to LESSEE. In addition, LESSEE and LESSOR will execute a Lease Termination for filing with the FAA evidencing termination of this Lease. 23.16 INDEMNITIES AND INSURANCE. The indemnities and insurance requirements set forth in Articles 17 and 18, respectively, will apply to Indemnitees and LESSOR's representatives during return of the Aircraft, including the ground inspection and acceptance flight. With respect to the acceptance flight, LESSOR's representatives will receive the same protections as LESSOR on LESSEE's Aviation and Airline General Third Party Liability Insurance. 23.17 STORAGE. At LESSOR's request, LESSEE will continue to lease the Aircraft under this Lease for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days. During this period, LESSEE will have no obligations under this Lease except, at LESSOR's cost, to park and store the Aircraft in accordance with Manufacturer's recommended short term storage program at one of LESSEE's principal maintenance facilities in the State of Registration and to maintain all insurance on the Aircraft. LESSEE will not utilize the Aircraft for any reason during this period. 76
ARTICLE 24 ASSIGNMENT 24.1 NO ASSIGNMENT BY LESSEE. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, NO ASSIGNMENT, NOVATION, TRANSFER, MORTGAGE OR OTHER CHARGE MAY BE MADE BY LESSEE OF ANY OF ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRCRAFT, ANY ENGINE OR PART, OR THIS LEASE. 24.2 SALE OR ASSIGNMENT BY LESSOR. 24.2.1 Subject to LESSEE's rights pursuant to this Lease, LESSOR may at any time and without LESSEE's consent sell, assign or transfer its rights, interest and obligations hereunder or with respect to the Aircraft to a third party ("LESSOR'S ASSIGNEE"). For a period of two (2) years after such sale or assignment and at LESSEE's cost, LESSEE will continue to name LESSOR as an additional insured under the Aviation and Airline General Third Party Liability Insurance specified in Exhibit C. 24.2.2 The term "LESSOR" as used in this Lease means the lessor of the Aircraft at the time in question. In the event of the proper sale of the Aircraft and transfer of LESSOR's rights and obligations under this Lease, LESSOR's Assignee will become "LESSOR" of the Aircraft under this Lease and the transferring party (the prior "LESSOR") will be relieved of all liability to LESSEE under this Lease for obligations arising on and after the date the Aircraft is sold. LESSEE will acknowledge and accept LESSOR's Assignee as the new "LESSOR" under this Lease and will look solely to LESSOR's Assignee for the performance of all LESSOR obligations and covenants under this Lease arising on and after the Aircraft sale date provided such transfer, sale or assignment is in conformity with the requirements of this Article 24. 24.3 LESSOR'S LENDER. Subject to LESSEE's rights pursuant to this Lease, LESSOR may at any time and without LESSEE's consent grant security interests over the Aircraft and assign the benefit of this Lease to a lender ("LESSOR'S LENDER") as security for LESSOR's obligations to LESSOR's Lender. Accordingly, if LESSOR's Lender requires, as a condition to providing financing, any reasonable, nonsubstantive modification of this Lease, LESSEE agrees to enter into an agreement so modifying this Lease. 24.4 LESSEE COOPERATION. On request by LESSOR, LESSOR's Assignee or LESSOR's Lender, LESSEE will execute all such documents (such as a lease assignment agreement) as LESSOR, LESSOR's Assignee or LESSOR's Lender may reasonably require to confirm LESSEE's obligations under this Lease and obtain LESSEE's acknowledgment that LESSOR is not in breach of the Lease. LESSEE will provide all other reasonable assistance and cooperation to LESSOR, LESSOR's Assignee and LESSOR's Lender in connection with any such sale or assignment or the perfection and maintenance of any such security interest, including, at LESSOR's cost, making all necessary filings and registrations in the State of Registration and providing all opinions of counsel with respect to matters reasonably requested by LESSOR, 77
LESSOR's Lender or LESSOR's Assignee. LESSOR will reimburse LESSEE for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs in reviewing documents required by LESSOR or LESSOR's Lender. 24.5 PROTECTIONS. 24.5.1 **Material Redacted**. 24.5.2 LESSOR will obtain for the benefit of LESSEE an acknowledgment from any LESSOR's Assignee or LESSOR's Lender that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, such Person and any Person lawfully claiming through such Person will not interfere with LESSEE's quiet, peaceful use and enjoyment of the Aircraft. 24.5.3 **Material Redacted**. 24.5.4 **Material Redacted**. 24.5.5 **Material Redacted**. 24.5.6 **Material Redacted**. 24.5.7 Wherever the term "LESSOR" is used in this Lease in relation to any of the provisions relating to disclaimer, title and registration, indemnity and insurance contained in Articles 8, 14, 17 and 18, respectively, or with respect to Article 20.2.8, the term "LESSOR" will be deemed to include LESSOR's Assignee and LESSOR's Lender, if applicable. For avoidance of doubt, in the event of LESSOR's sale or financing of the Aircraft, the disclaimer and indemnity provisions contained in Articles 8 and 17 will continue to be applicable after the sale or assignment to International Lease Finance Corporation, as well as being applicable to LESSOR's Assignee and LESSOR's Lender. 78
ARTICLE 25 DEFAULT OF LESSEE 25.1 LESSEE NOTICE TO LESSOR. LESSEE will promptly notify LESSOR if LESSEE becomes aware of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. 25.2 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following will constitute an Event of Default and material breach of this Lease by LESSEE: (a) LESSEE fails to take delivery of the Aircraft when obligated to do so under the terms of this Lease; (b) LESSEE fails to make a Rent or other scheduled payment due hereunder in the manner and by the date provided herein and fails to make such payment within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due; (c) LESSEE fails to obtain or maintain the insurance required by Article 18; (d) LESSEE fails to return the Aircraft to LESSOR on the Expiration Date in accordance with Article 23; (e) LESSEE fails to observe or perform any of its other obligations hereunder and fails to cure the same within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to LESSEE. If such failure cannot by its nature be cured within thirty (30) days, LESSEE will have the reasonable number of days necessary to cure such failure (not to exceed a period of ninety (90) days) so long as it uses diligent efforts to do so; (f) any representation or warranty of LESSEE herein proves to be untrue in any material respect and if the effect of such misrepresentation is curable, will not have been cured within thirty (30) days after LESSEE learns of such misrepresentation including by written notice from LESSOR; (g) the registration of the Aircraft is cancelled other than as a result of an act or omission of LESSOR; (h) LESSEE abandons the Aircraft or Engines; (i) LESSEE temporarily discontinues (in the absence of other Defaults) or permanently discontinues business or sells or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets other than as permitted hereunder; (j) a material adverse change occurs in the financial condition of LESSEE which effects LESSEE's ability to perform its obligations hereunder; (k) LESSEE no longer possesses the licenses, certificates and permits required for the conduct of its business as a certificated air carrier in Panama and the failure to possess the same is not cured within sixty (60) days; 79
(l) LESSEE (i) suspends payment on its debts or other material obligations, (ii) is unable to or admits its inability to pay its debts or other material obligations as they fall due, (iii) is adjudicated or becomes bankrupt or insolvent or (iv) proposes or enters into any composition or other arrangement for the benefit of its creditors generally; (m) any proceedings, resolutions, filings or other steps are instituted or threatened with respect to LESSEE relating to the bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or protection from creditors of LESSEE or a substantial part of LESSEE's property. If instituted by LESSEE, the same will be an immediate Event of Default. If instituted by another Person, the same will be an Event of Default if not dismissed, remedied or relinquished within sixty (60) days; (n) any order, judgment or decree is entered by any court of competent jurisdiction appointing a receiver, trustee or liquidator of LESSEE or a substantial part of its property, or if a substantial part of LESSEE's property is to be sequestered. If instituted by or done with the consent of LESSEE, the same will be an immediate Event of Default. If instituted by another Person, the same will be an Event of Default if not dismissed, remedied or relinquished within sixty (60) days; (o) any indebtedness for borrowed moneys or a guarantee or similar obligation owed by LESSEE with an unpaid balance of at least **Material Redacted** is properly declared due before its stated maturity or LESSEE is properly in default beyond any applicable grace period under any agreement pursuant to which LESSEE has the right to possess and operate any aircraft; or (p) LESSEE is in default under any other lease or agreement between LESSEE and LESSOR and the same is not cured within its specified cure period. 25.3 LESSOR'S GENERAL RIGHTS. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, LESSOR may do all or any of the following at its option (in addition to such other rights and remedies which LESSOR may have by statute or otherwise but subject to any requirements of applicable Law): (a) terminate this Lease by giving written notice to LESSEE; (b) require that LESSEE immediately cease flying the Aircraft and leave it parked in its then-current location by giving written notice to LESSEE, in which case LESSEE's obligations under this Lease will continue (including the obligations set forth in Articles 17 and 18); (c) require that LESSEE immediately move the Aircraft to an airport or other location designated by LESSOR and park the Aircraft there by giving written notice to LESSEE, in which case LESSEE's obligations under this Lease will continue (including the obligations set forth in Articles 17 and 18); (d) take possession of the Aircraft. If LESSOR takes possession of the Aircraft, it may enter upon LESSEE's premises where the Aircraft is located without liability. 80
Upon repossession of the Aircraft, LESSOR will then be entitled to sell, lease or otherwise deal with the Aircraft as if this Lease had never been made. LESSOR will be entitled to the full benefit of its bargain with LESSEE; (e) for LESSEE's account, do anything that may reasonably be required to cure any default and recover from LESSEE all reasonable costs, including legal fees and expenses incurred in doing so and Default Interest; (f) proceed as appropriate to enforce performance of this Lease and to recover any damages for the breach hereof, including the amounts specified in Article 25.5; or (g) apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit and any other security deposits held by LESSOR pursuant to any other agreements between LESSOR and LESSEE to any amounts due. 25.4 DEREGISTRATION AND EXPORT OF AIRCRAFT. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, LESSOR may take all steps necessary to deregister the Aircraft in and export the Aircraft from the State of Registration. 25.5 LESSEE LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES. If an Event of Default occurs, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, LESSOR has the right to recover from LESSEE and LESSEE will pay LESSOR within two (2) Business Days after LESSOR's written demand, all of the following: (a) all amounts which are then due and unpaid hereunder and which become due prior to the earlier of LESSOR's recovery of possession of the Aircraft or LESSEE making an effective tender thereof; (b) any losses suffered by LESSOR because of LESSOR's inability to place the Aircraft on lease with another lessee or to otherwise utilize the Aircraft on financial terms as favorable to LESSOR as the terms hereof or, if LESSOR elects to dispose of the Aircraft, the funds arising from a sale or other disposition of the Aircraft are not as profitable to LESSOR as leasing the Aircraft in accordance with the terms hereof would have been (and LESSOR will be entitled to accelerate any and all Rent which would have been due from the date of LESSOR's recovery or repossession of the Aircraft through the Expiration Date) which rent shall be discounted to present value less any amounts (i) in respect of a lease, which over its term shall be received by LESSOR discounted to present value as set forth above or (ii) in the case of a sale or other disposition, the amounts which were received by LESSOR is a result of such sale or other disposition (or if not relet or sold, less an amount equal to the fair market rental value of the aircraft for the balance of the Lease Term determined by an independent appraiser acceptable to LESSOR and LESSEE or chosen by a court); (c) all costs, associated with LESSOR's exercise of its remedies hereunder, including but not limited to repossession costs, legal fees, Aircraft storage costs, Aircraft re-lease or sale costs; 81
(d) any amount of principal, interest, fees or other sums paid or payable on account of funds borrowed in order to carry any unpaid amount; (e) any loss, premium, penalty or expense which may be incurred in repaying funds raised to finance the Aircraft or in unwinding any financial instrument relating in whole or in part to LESSOR's financing of the Aircraft; (f) any loss, cost, expense or liability sustained by LESSOR due to LESSEE's failure to redeliver the Aircraft in the condition required by this Lease; and (g) any other loss, damage, expense, cost or liability which LESSOR suffers or incurs as a direct result of the Event of Default and/or termination of this Lease, including (but without duplication of amounts due and payable pursuant to (f) above) an amount sufficient to compensate LESSOR for any loss of LESSOR's residual interest in the Aircraft caused by LESSEE's default. 25.6 WAIVER OF DEFAULT. By written notice to LESSEE, LESSOR may at its election waive any Default or Event of Default and its consequences and rescind and annul any prior notice of termination of this Lease. The respective rights of the parties will then be as they would have been had no Default or Event of Default occurred and no such notice been given. 25.7 PRESENT VALUE OF PAYMENTS. In calculating LESSOR's damages hereunder, upon an Event of Default all Rent and other amounts which would have been due hereunder during the Lease Term if an Event of Default had not occurred will be calculated on a present value basis using a discounting rate of **Material Redacted** per annum discounted to the earlier of the date on which LESSOR obtains possession of the Aircraft or LESSEE makes an effective tender thereof. 25.8 USE OF "TERMINATION DATE". For avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that if this Lease terminates and the Aircraft is repossessed by LESSOR due to an Event of Default, then, notwithstanding the use of the term "Termination Date" in this Lease, the period of the Lease Term and the "Expiration Date" will be utilized in calculating the damages to which LESSOR is entitled pursuant to Article 25.5. For example, it is agreed and understood that LESSOR is entitled to receive from LESSEE the Rent and the benefit of LESSEE's insurance and maintenance of the Aircraft until expiration of the Lease Term. 82

The parties will give copies to one another, in advance if possible, of all news, articles and other releases provided to the public media regarding this Lease or the Aircraft. 28.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY. LESSEE hereby irrevocably appoints LESSOR as its attorney for the purpose of putting into effect the intent of this Lease following an Event of Default, including without limitation, the return, repossession, deregistration and exportation of the Aircraft. To evidence this appointment, LESSEE has executed the Power of Attorney in the form of Exhibit G. LESSEE will take all steps required under the Laws of the State of Registration to provide such power of attorney to LESSOR. 28.3 LESSOR PERFORMANCE FOR LESSEE. The exercise by LESSOR of its remedy of performing a LESSEE obligation hereunder is not a waiver of and will not relieve LESSEE from the performance of such obligation at any subsequent time or from the performance of any of its other obligations hereunder. 28.4 LESSOR'S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS. Any obligation of LESSOR under this Lease to pay or release any amount to LESSEE is conditioned upon (a) all amounts then due and payable by LESSEE to LESSOR under this Lease or under any other agreement between LESSOR and LESSEE having been paid in full and (b) no Default or Event of Default having occurred and continuing hereunder at the time such payment or release of payment is payable to LESSEE. 28.5 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Any amounts paid or recovered in respect of LESSEE liabilities hereunder may be applied to Rent, Default Interest, fees or any other amount due hereunder in such proportions, order and manner as LESSOR determines. 28.6 USURY LAWS. The parties intend to contract in strict compliance with the usury Laws of the State of California and, to the extent applicable, the U.S. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Operative Documents, LESSEE will not be obligated to pay Default Interest or other interest in excess of the maximum non-usurious interest rate, as in effect from time to time, which may by applicable Law be charged, contracted for, reserved, received or collected by LESSOR in connection with the Operative Documents. During any period of time in which the then-applicable highest lawful rate is lower than the Default Interest rate, Default Interest will accrue and be payable at such highest lawful rate; however, if at later times such highest lawful rate is greater than the Default Interest rate, then LESSEE will pay Default Interest at the highest lawful rate until the Default Interest which is paid by LESSEE equals the amount of interest that would have been payable in accordance with the interest rate set forth in Article 5.7. 28.7 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY BY LESSOR. LESSOR may delegate to any Person(s) all or any of its authority to perform or exercise powers or discretion vested in it by this Lease according to the terms of the Lease in LESSOR's reasonable discretion. 28.8 CONFIDENTIALITY. The Operative Documents and all non-public information (including financial information obtained pursuant to Article 22) obtained by either party about the other are confidential and are between LESSOR and LESSEE only and will not be disclosed 85
by a party to third parties (other than to such party's auditors or legal advisors; as required in connection with any filings of this Lease in accordance with Article 14; in connection with LESSOR's potential sale of the Aircraft or assignment of this Lease; as required for enforcement by either party of its rights and remedies with respect to this Lease or as required by applicable Law including Tax law; or to a LESSOR's Lender which agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Article 28.8 or similar confidentiality provisions) without the prior written consent of the other party. If any disclosure will result in an Operative Document becoming publicly available, LESSEE and LESSOR will cooperate with one another to obtain confidential treatment as to the commercial terms and other material provisions of such Operative Document. 28.9 RIGHTS OF PARTIES. The rights of the parties hereunder are cumulative, not exclusive, may be exercised as often as each party considers appropriate and are in addition to its rights under general Law. The rights of one party against the other party are not capable of being waived or amended except by an express waiver or amendment in writing. Any failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any of such rights will not operate as a waiver or amendment of that or any other such right. Any defective or partial exercise of any such rights will not preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other such right and no act or course of conduct or negotiation on a party's part or on its behalf will in any way preclude such party from exercising any such right or constitute a suspension or any amendment of any such right. 28.10 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party agrees from time to time to do and perform such other and further acts and execute and deliver any and all such other instruments as may be required by Law, reasonably requested by the auditors of the other party or requested by the other party to establish, maintain or protect the rights and remedies of the requesting party or to carry out and effect the intent and purpose of this Lease. 28.11 TRANSLATIONS OF LEASE. If this Lease is translated into another language, whether or not signed by LESSEE and LESSOR in such other language, solely the terms and provisions of this English version of the Lease will prevail in any dispute. 28.12 USE OF WORD "INCLUDING". The term "INCLUDING" is used herein without limitation. 28.13 HEADINGS. All article and paragraph headings and captions are purely for convenience and will not affect the interpretation of this Lease. Any reference to a specific article, paragraph or section will be interpreted as a reference to such article, paragraph or section of this Lease. 28.14 INVALIDITY OF ANY PROVISION. If any of the provisions of this Lease become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any Law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired. 28.15 NEGOTIATION. The terms of this Lease are agreed by LESSOR from its principal place of business in Los Angeles, California. 28.16 TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the performance of all obligations of the parties under this Lease and, consequently, all time limitations set forth in the provisions of this Lease will be strictly observed. 86
28.17 AMENDMENTS IN WRITING. The provisions of this Lease may only be amended or modified by a writing executed by LESSOR and LESSEE. 28.18 COUNTERPARTS. This Lease may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original, and all of which together will be deemed to be one and the same instrument when each party has signed and delivered one such counterpart to the other party. 28.19 DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS BY FAX. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Lease or of any other documents in connection with this Lease by fax will be deemed as effective as delivery of an originally executed counterpart.

(ii) Lessee may provide the Security Deposit in the form of a letter of credit, issued by a bank satisfactory to Lessor, having a term of no more than one year, and otherwise in form and substance (including the designation of the presentment location) satisfactory to Lessor. 44
(c) CONCERNING THE LETTER OF CREDIT: If at any time prior to the Final Expiry Date, the long-term unsecured unsubordinated and unguaranteed debt obligations as rated by Moody's Investors Services Inc. or Standard & Poor's Corporation of the then current bank issuing the letter of credit shall be less than A2 and A respectively or shall be on creditwatch by either of such agencies, Lessee shall procure that the relevant letter of credit is replaced by a letter of credit by another bank acceptable to Lessor (in its sole discretion). 5.2 RENTAL PERIODS: The Term will be divided into Rental Periods. The first Rental Period will commence on the Delivery Date, and each subsequent Rental Period will commence on the date succeeding the last day of the previous Rental Period. Each Rental Period will end on but exclude the numerically corresponding day in the next Month except that if a Rental Period would otherwise overrun the Final Expiry Date, it will end on the Final Expiry Date. 5.3 RENT: (a) TIME OF PAYMENT: Lessee will pay to Lessor Rent in advance on each Rent Date. Payment must be initiated in such manner as to ensure that Lessor receives credit for the payment on the Rent Date. If a Rental Period begins on a non-Business Day, the Rent payable in respect of that Rental Period shall be paid on the Business Day immediately following the date on which such Rental Period commences. (b) AMOUNT: The Rent payable in respect of each Rental Period shall be the Assumed Rent based on the Assumed LIBOR Rate and will be adjusted upward or downward by the Rent Adjustment Factor. On each Rent Calculation Date (as defined below), the Rent shall be calculated and set for the six consecutive Rental Periods immediately following such Rent Calculation Date. For purposes of this Clause 5.3(b), "Rent Calculation Date" shall mean the date that falls three days prior to the Delivery Date and each six-month anniversary thereof; provided, however, if such date or any such anniversary thereof is not a Business Day, then the Rent Calculation Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. 5.4 SUPPLEMENTAL RENT: (a) AMOUNT: Lessee will pay Supplemental Rent to Lessor in relation to each calendar month (or part of a month) of the Term, on the 10th day following the end of that calendar month (except that the last payment of Supplemental Rent during the Term shall be paid on the Final Expiry Date), calculated as follows: 45
(i) AIRFRAME: in respect of an Airframe 6C/24,000 Flight Hour Block Structural Check, an amount equal to the Airframe 6C/24,000 Flight Hour Block Structural Check Supplemental Rent Rate, pro-rated on a per diem basis, if applicable, for any calendar month which falls partially within the Term and partially outside the Term (the "Airframe 6C/24,000 Flight Hour Block Structural Check Supplemental Rent"); (ii) ENGINE LIFE-LIMITED PARTS: in respect of the Life-Limited Parts for each Engine, an amount equal to the Engine LLP Supplemental Rent Rate for each Engine Cycle operated by that Engine during that calendar month ("Engine LLP Supplemental Rent"); provided, however, Lessee shall have no obligation to make any payment of Engine LLP Supplemental Rent in respect of any period during which the Engine installed on the Aircraft is subject to a maintenance cost per hour agreement or similar arrangement with the Agreed Maintenance Performer so long as (x) such agreement or arrangement is approved in advance (i.e., before the enrollment of the Engine installed on the Aircraft in any such agreement or arrangement) in writing by Lessor (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), and (y) in the event that the Engine installed on the Aircraft is enrolled in any such agreement or arrangement before Lessor approves such agreement or arrangement, or in the event that any Engine enrolled in any such agreement or arrangement is to be installed on the Aircraft before Lessor approves such agreement or arrangement, then Lessee shall pay and continue to pay Engine LLP Supplemental Rent in accordance with this subclause for all periods prior to the time at which Lessee obtains Lessor's written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed) of the applicable agreement or arrangement (if ever);and (z) for the avoidance of doubt it is agreed that at least one of the criteria upon which such a maintenance cost per hour agreement will be approved by the Lessor shall be a requirement for that agreement to expressly include an adequate fund provision specifically allocated to LLP's to which the Lessor will have rights of access under certain conditions, and drawdowns on such LLP fund will not diminish the adequacy of any fund allocation applicable to the engine performance restoration. (iii) ENGINE PERFORMANCE RESTORATION: in respect of each Engine, an amount equal to the Engine Supplemental Rent Rate for each Engine Flight Hour (or fraction thereof) operated by that Engine during that calendar month ("Engine Supplemental Rent"); provided, however, Lessee shall have no obligation to make any payment of Engine Supplemental Rent in respect of any period 46
during which the Engine installed on the Aircraft is subject to a maintenance cost per hour agreement or similar arrangement with the Agreed Maintenance Performer so long as (x) such agreement or arrangement is approved in advance (i.e., before the enrollment of the Engine installed on the Aircraft in any such agreement or arrangement) in writing by Lessor (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), and (y) in the event that the Engine installed on the Aircraft is enrolled in any such agreement or arrangement before Lessor approves such agreement or arrangement, or in the event that any Engine enrolled in any such agreement or arrangement is to be installed on the Aircraft before Lessor approves such agreement or arrangement, then Lessee shall pay and continue to pay Engine Supplemental Rent in accordance with this subclause for all periods prior to the time at which Lessee obtains Lessor's written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed) of the applicable agreement or arrangement (if ever); (iv) APU: in respect of the APU, an amount equal to the APU Supplemental Rent Rate for each Flight Hour operated by the APU during that calendar month ("APU Supplemental Rent"); provided, however, Lessee shall have no obligation to make any payment of APU Supplemental Rent in respect of any period during which the APU installed on the Aircraft is subject to a maintenance cost per hour agreement or similar arrangement with the APU manufacturer or Agreed Maintenance Performer so long as (x) such agreement or arrangement is approved in advance (i.e., before the enrollment of the APU installed on the Aircraft in any such agreement or arrangement) in writing by Lessor (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), and (y) in the event that the APU installed on the Aircraft is enrolled in any such agreement or arrangement before Lessor approves such agreement or arrangement, or in the event that any APU enrolled in any such agreement or arrangement is to be installed on the Aircraft before Lessor approves such agreement or arrangement, then Lessee shall pay and continue to pay APU Supplemental Rent in accordance with this subclause for all periods prior to the time at which Lessee obtains Lessor's written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed) of the applicable agreement or arrangement (if ever); and (v) LANDING GEAR: in respect of the Landing Gear, an amount equal to the Landing Gear Supplemental Rent Rate, pro-rated on a per diem basis, if applicable, for any calendar month which falls partially within the Term and partially outside the Term ("Landing Gear Supplemental Rent"); 47
provided that with respect to any maintenance cost per hour agreement described in subclauses (iii) and (iv) above to be approved by Lessor, such agreement must (or as otherwise reasonably agreed by Lessor and Lessee) have (i) payments and maintenance structured on a fully restored zero-time basis where the Approved Maintenance Performer will be responsible for the payment of the redelivery maintenance adjustment provided for in Part 3 of Schedule 3 for all Engine or APU use since the last Engine Performance Restoration or APU Performance Restoration, as applicable, during the Lease Term or since new if no such Engine Performance Restoration or APU Performance Restoration, as applicable, has been accomplished during the Lease Term, (ii) payments and/or corresponding maintenance inclusive of all applicable airworthiness directives, manufacturer category 1/2/3 service bulletins, and domestic object damage, (iii) satisfactory restrictions on the use of multiple repair used serviceable exchange parts, incident materials, manufacturer approved FAA PMA parts, and parts with non-manufacturer approved repairs, (iv) satisfactory flight hour and calendar warranty provisions and periods, (v) satisfactory test cell performance guarantees and performance retention guarantees, and (vi) satisfactory provisions for assignment to Lessor. (b) ADJUSTMENT: The Supplemental Rent Rates, if applicable, shall be adjusted after the Delivery Date not more frequently than annually (with any such adjustment having retrospective application as appropriate to reflect the provisions of paragraph (ii) below and the amount required to give effect to such retrospective application shall be payable by Lessee upon demand by Lessor) based on the following: (i) ANNUAL SUPPLEMENTAL RENT ADJUSTMENT: upwards by the Annual Supplemental Rent Adjustment commencing on January 1, 2005 and each annual anniversary date thereafter; and (ii) HOUR TO CYCLE RATIO ADJUSTMENT: Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that the Engine Supplemental Rent Rate is based upon the assumption that the Aircraft will operate on the Assumed Ratio. If that assumption proves to be incorrect at any time for any period of twelve (12) consecutive months during the Term based upon Lessee's actual operating experience during such twelve (12) months, and in the case of the Assumed Ratio the hour to cycle ratio differs from the Assumed Ratio by more than 0.1 during such twelve (12) month period, (i) Lessor shall have the right, upon written notice to Lessee, to adjust the Engine Supplemental Rent Rate (in the case of a decrease in the ratio below the Assumed Ratio) and (ii) Lessor will make that adjustment (in the case of an increase in the ratio above the Assumed Ratio) in respect of Engine Supplemental Rent payable for the next year of the Lease Term. The Engine Supplemental Rent Rate shall be adjusted by 48
calculating the actual engine hour to cycle ratio for the applicable 12-month period and using that to select the corresponding Engine Supplemental Rent Adjusted Value adjustment dollar figure from the Assumed Ratio Adjustment Table in Schedule 7. If actual hour to cycle ratio falls outside the specific ratios set forth in the Assumed Ratio Adjustment Table in Schedule 7, then the Engine Supplemental Rent Adjusted Value shall be determined by extrapolating (or interpolating) from (or between) the nearest observed values in the table. (iii) ANNUAL UTILIZATION ADJUSTMENT: Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that the Airframe 6C/24,000 Flight Hour Block Structural Check Supplemental Rent Rate is based upon the assumption that the Airframe will operate at the Assumed Annual Utilization. If that assumption proves to be incorrect at any time for any period of twelve (12) consecutive months during the Term based upon Lessee's actual operating experience during such twelve (12) months, (i) Lessor shall have the right, upon written notice to Lessee, to adjust the Airframe 6C/24,000 Flight Hour Block Structural Check Supplemental Rent Rate (in the case of utilization above the Assumed Annual Utilization) and (ii) Lessor, upon written request from Lessee, will make that adjustment (in the case of an increase in the utilization below the Assumed Annual Utilization). The Airframe 6C/24,000 Flight Hour Block Structural Check Supplemental Rent Rate shall be adjusted by calculating the actual Airframe utilization for the applicable 12-month period and using that to select the corresponding Airframe Structural Check Reserve Amount from the Assumed Annual Utilization Adjustment Table in Schedule 7. If actual utilization falls outside the specific values set forth in the Assumed Annual Utilization Adjustment Table in Schedule 7, then the adjusted value shall be determined by extrapolating (or interpolating) from (or between) the nearest observed values in the table. (c) ADJUSTMENT/ABATEMENT FOR ENGINE EVENT OF LOSS: If following an Engine Event of Loss the maintenance status for the replacement Engine (pursuant to Clause 8.13(a)) is such that the Engine LLP Supplemental Rent and Engine Supplemental Rent held with respect to the Engine which suffered the Engine Event of Loss differs from that which corresponds to the maintenance status of such replacement Engine, Lessor shall calculate the amount of the adjustment to the amounts of Engine LLP Supplemental Rent and Engine Supplemental Rent in respect of such Engine required so that the amounts then held correspond to the status of the replacement Engine. Any adjustment which requires an increase in the amounts held as Engine LLP Supplemental Rent and the Engine Supplemental Rent shall be promptly paid by Lessee to Lessor in cash. Any adjustment which 49
requires a decrease in amounts held as Engine LLP Supplemental Rent and/or Engine Supplemental Rent shall be effected, so long as no Default or Event of Default is then in existence by Lessor abating Lessee's payment of Engine LLP Supplemental Rent and/or Engine Supplemental Rent in respect of such replacement Engine until the amounts of Engine LLP Supplemental Rent and/or Engine Supplemental Rent correspond to the status of the replacement Engine. (d) LESSOR'S PROPERTY: Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Supplemental Rent is additional rent for the leasing of the Aircraft and not cash collateral or other collateral security for Lessee's maintenance obligations under this Agreement. Once paid all Supplemental Rent is the property of Lessor, it is not refundable to Lessee under any circumstances whatsoever and Lessee has no interest therein whatsoever. The foregoing is subject to Lessor's obligations under and in accordance with Clause 7.4 or 11.1(b) of this Agreement. (e) SHORTFALLS. In any case in which the amount paid to Lessee by Lessor pursuant to Clause 7.4 is not sufficient to pay the cost of such check, overhaul, inspection, performance restoration or parts replacement, Lessee shall be obliged to and shall meet such shortfall from its own resources and shall not subsequently be permitted to claim reimbursement of such amounts under this Agreement. (f) LETTERS OF CREDIT. At Lessee's option and with Lessor's agreement Lessee may provide at the Delivery Date and annually thereafter during the Lease Term, letters of credit issued by a bank acceptable to Lessor, in lieu of Supplemental Rent, in respect of Aircraft utilization in Flight Hours, Cycles or calendar months as appropriate to each maintenance event type. Each letter of credit shall have validity of 6 months or until issue of a replacement letter of credit (whichever occurs later). Payment of the redelivery maintenance adjustments at the Redelivery Date by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to Clause 12.5 will terminate Lessor's requirement for such letters of credit. In addition, each letter of credit shall be issued in a form and from a bank acceptable to Lessor. The first letter of credit issued at the Delivery Date shall be for the amount of Supplemental Rent that would accrue for the first 3 months of operation with an assumed utilization of 250 Flight Hours and 83 Cycles per month and the amount of Supplemental Rent that would have accrued on the last day of the month prior to the Delivery Date. Semi-annually thereafter, the letter of credit shall be the amount of Supplemental Rent that would have accrued on the last day of the month prior to issue plus that which would accrue for the following 3 months of operation with an assumed utilization of 250 Flight Hours and 83 Cycles per month less any Supplemental Rent reimbursement that would have occurred in respect of the maintenance events outlined herein to reduce the Supplemental Rent balance in respect 50
of that maintenance event by the lesser of (a) the relevant Supplemental Rent balance and (b) the valid invoice in respect of that maintenance event. 5.5 PAYMENTS: All payments by Lessee to Lessor under this Agreement will be made for value on the due date in Dollars and in same day funds to the account in the United States as Lessor may advise Lessee and Beneficiary in writing. 5.6 DEFAULT INTEREST: If Lessee fails to pay any amount payable under this Agreement on the due date, Lessee will pay on demand from time to time to Lessor interest (both before and after judgment) on that amount, from the due date to the date of payment in full by Lessee to Lessor, at the Interest Rate. All such interest will be compounded monthly and calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year. 5.7 WITHHOLDING: (a) All payments by Lessee, or with respect to any obligation of Lessee, under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents will be made without setoff or counterclaim, free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax or other amount, except to the extent that any such deduction or withholding is required by applicable law with respect to any Tax; (b) if any Tax is required by any applicable law to be deducted or withheld from or with respect to any amount payable by Lessee or with respect to any obligation of Lessee under any of the Transaction Documents to or for the benefit of any Tax Indemnitee, Lessee shall: (i) unless such Tax is a Lessor Tax, pay such additional amount as shall be necessary to enable such Tax Indemnitee to receive, after such deduction or withholding (including any deduction or withholding with respect to such additional amount) and after subtracting the net amount of all Taxes (including Lessor Taxes) payable by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of such Tax Indemnitee's receipt or accrual of such additional amount, the amount which such Tax Indemnitee would have received if such deduction or withholding had not been required; (ii) pay the amount required to be deducted or withheld to the appropriate Government Entity or other taxing authority in a timely and proper manner; and 51
(iii) deliver to such Tax Indemnitee, not later than thirty (30) days after the date on which such payment is paid, an original receipt issued by the relevant Government Entity or other taxing authority or other documentation reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee verifying that the obligation described in subclause (ii) has been timely and properly performed. 5.8 TAX INDEMNITY: Lessee shall pay, and on demand shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless each Tax Indemnitee from and against, all Taxes (other than any and all Lessor Taxes or any Taxes which Lessee would not be responsible for under Clause 14.2(b)) which are imposed upon, attributable to, or with respect to, or are required to be paid in connection with, or as a result of, any of the payments or transactions or activities contemplated in the Transaction Documents (regardless of how or when such Taxes are imposed, whether imposed upon a Tax Indemnitee, Lessee, the Aircraft or otherwise), including, without limitation, Taxes imposed on or with respect to, or required to be paid in connection with or as a result of (directly or indirectly), any of the following: (i) the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part or any interest in any thereof, (ii) the purchase, acceptance, delivery, financing, mortgaging, registration, re-registration, de-registration, importation, exportation, ownership, leasing, subleasing, wet-leasing, chartering, presence, management, control, possession, performance, use, operation, repair, maintenance, condition, service, overhaul, substitution, replacement, pooling, interchange, removal, alteration, improvement, modification, refurbishment, transportation, landing, storage, redelivery, repossession, sale, transfer of title or other disposition of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part or any interest in any thereof, or (iii) any Rent, receipts, gains, earnings, income, insurance proceeds, or other amounts paid or payable or received or receivable with respect to the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part or any interest in any thereof or the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents, or (iv) any of the Transaction Documents or any amendment or supplement thereto or the execution, delivery, filing, recording, performance or enforcement of any thereof. Each Tax Indemnitee shall, at the expense of Lessee, take commercially reasonable actions with a view toward mitigating any event or circumstance which would give rise to or result in a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Clause 5.8 or a withholding Tax pursuant to Clause 5.7; provided, however, nothing herein shall require any Tax Indemnitees to take any action which it shall have determined, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, may result in a material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage to such Tax Indemnitee. 5.9 SALES TAX: 52
All amounts payable by Lessee, or with respect to any obligation of Lessee, under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, are exclusive of any Sales Tax. If any Sales Tax is required by any applicable law to be paid with respect to any of the transactions, activities or payments contemplated in any of the Transaction Documents, Lessee shall (i) pay such Sales Tax to the appropriate Government Entity or other taxing authority in a timely and proper manner, and indemnify each Tax Indemnitee from and against such Sales Tax, in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 5, and (ii) deliver to Lessor, not later than thirty (30) days after the date on which such Sales Tax is due, an original receipt issued by the relevant Government Entity or other taxing authority or other documentation reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee verifying that the obligation described in subclause (i) has been properly performed. 5.10 VALUE ADDED TAX: (a) For the purposes of this Clause 5: (i) VAT means value added tax and any goods and services, sales or turnover tax, imposition or levy of a like nature; and (ii) SUPPLY includes anything on or in respect of which VAT is chargeable; (b) Lessee shall 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 in a timely and proper manner; and (c) Each amount stated as payable by Lessee under this Agreement is exclusive of VAT (if any), and if VAT is payable in respect of any amount as aforesaid, Lessee shall pay all such VAT and shall indemnify Lessor against any claims for the same (and where appropriate Lessee shall increase the payments which would otherwise be required to be made hereunder so that Lessor is left in the same position as it would have been in had no VAT been payable); and Lessee shall provide evidence to Lessor, if available, in respect of payment of any such VAT. 5.11 PAYMENTS; TAX REPORTS; INFORMATION: (a) PAYMENTS: Lessee shall pay each Indemnified Tax (as defined in Clause 5.11(b)) in a timely and proper manner directly to the relevant taxing authority, to the extent that direct payment by Lessee is permitted by applicable law, and shall deliver to the Tax Indemnitee for the account of which Lessee paid such Tax the original (or a certified copy of an) official receipt for Lessee's payment of such Tax (if obtainable by Lessee) or such other documentary evidence of Lessee's payment of such Tax as is reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee. Any additional amount payable by Lessee directly to any Tax Indemnitee pursuant to Clause 5.7 53
shall be paid together with the payment to which such additional amount relates. Any amount payable by Lessee directly to any Tax Indemnitee pursuant to Clause 5.8, 5.9 or 5.10 shall be paid in immediately available funds within ten (10) days after Lessee receives such Tax Indemnitee's written demand therefor. Any claim for payment pursuant hereto shall be made by Lessor or the relevant Tax Indemnitee in writing, accompanied by a certificate of an officer of such Tax Indemnitee setting forth in reasonable detail the amount and method of calculation of the payment so demanded. (b) REPORTS: If any report, return, certification, statement or other document (a "Tax Document") is required to be filed by any Tax Indemnitee with respect to any Tax for which Lessee is required to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Clause 5 (an "Indemnified Tax"), Lessee shall promptly notify such Tax Indemnitee of such requirement and: (i) if permitted by applicable law, prepare and file such Tax Document in a timely and proper manner (except for any such Tax Document which such Tax Indemnitee notifies Lessee that such Tax Indemnitee intends to prepare and file) and deliver a copy of such Tax Document to such Tax Indemnitee, provided that such Tax Indemnitee delivers to Lessee, at Lessee's timely written request and expense, such information within such Tax Indemnitee's reasonable control as Lessee may reasonably request and as may be reasonably necessary for Lessee to prepare such Tax Document; or (ii) if Lessee is not permitted by applicable law to file such Tax Document, Lessee shall prepare and deliver to such Tax Indemnitee a proposed form of such Tax Document within a reasonable time prior to the time such Tax Document is required to be filed; (c) INFORMATION: Lessee shall furnish to each Tax Indemnitee, promptly after receipt of such Tax Indemnitee's written request therefor, such documents and other information as such Tax Indemnitee may reasonably request to enable such Tax Indemnitee to comply with its Tax reporting, payment, audit and litigation requirements relating to such Tax Indemnitee's participation in the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents. Each of Lessor and Beneficiary shall furnish to Lessee such information maintained in the regular course of its business as is (i) reasonably requested by Lessee in writing, (ii) reasonably necessary to enable Lessee to comply with its Tax reporting, payment, audit and litigation requirements relating to the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents, and (iii) not otherwise available to Lessee; provided that Lessor shall not be required to furnish or disclose to Lessee 54
or any other Person any Tax return or other document relating to the tax affairs of Lessor or any of its Affiliates; and (d) REFUNDS; TAX SAVINGS: If and to the extent that a Tax Indemnitee (x) receives a refund (in cash or as an offset against any liability for a Lessor Tax) of any Indemnified Tax previously paid by Lessee or for which Lessee previously paid an indemnity to a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to Clause 5.7, 5.8, 5.9 or 5.10 (a "Refund"), or (y) actually realizes a reduction in its liability for any Lessor Tax as a result of any deduction, Tax credit or other Tax benefit for any Indemnified Tax paid by Lessee or for which Lessee previously paid an indemnity to a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to Clause 5.7, 5.8, 5.9 or 5.10 (a "Tax Saving"), such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee, the amount of such actual Refund or Tax Saving minus the net amount of all Taxes payable by such Tax Indemnitee with respect to the receipt or accrual of such Refund or Tax Saving and minus all costs and expenses incurred by such Tax Indemnitee with respect to claiming and obtaining such Refund or Tax Savings, provided, however, that if a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing, such Tax Indemnitee may hold the amount then due to Lessee under this Clause 5.11(d) until such Default or Event of Default ceases to exist, and provided, further, that in no event shall such payment exceed (i) the amount of all prior payments by Lessee to such Tax Indemnitee under Clause 5.7, 5.8, 5.9 or 5.10 minus (ii) the amount of all prior payments by such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Clause 5.11(d), but any such excess shall be carried forward and applied as a credit to reduce any future indemnity liability of Lessee under Clause 5.7, 5.8, 5.9 or 5.10. If a Tax Indemnitee pays Lessee any amount under this Clause 5.11(d) and if and to the extent that it is subsequently determined by the taxing authority having jurisdiction that such Tax Indemnitee was not entitled to the Tax Saving or Refund for which such Tax Indemnitee made such payment to Lessee, such determination shall be treated as the imposition of a Tax for which Lessee is obligated to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to the provisions of Clause 5.8, without regard to the exclusion of Lessor Taxes in Clause 5.8. 5.12 CONTEST OF CLAIM FOR TAX (a) If a claim shall be made for or in respect of any Tax (including withholding Taxes) for which the Lessee is obligated pursuant to Clauses 5.7, 5.8, 5.9 or 5.10, to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee (a "Tax Claim"), such Tax Indemnitee shall give Lessee written notice of such Tax Claim as soon as reasonably practicable, provided that any failure of such Tax Indemnitee to give such notice or any delay by such Tax Indemnitee in giving such notice shall not affect the obligations of Lessee under this Clause 5 unless, and only to the extent that, the failure to promptly provide such notice results in (A) a material increase in the amount which Lessee 55
is required to indemnify, (B) material additional obligations for Lessee in defending against such Tax Claim or (C) precluding or materially prejudicing Lessee's right to defend any such Tax Claim. If Lessee delivers to such Tax Indemnitee within thirty days after the date of receipt of such Tax Indemnitee's notice, a written request that such Tax Indemnitee contest such Tax Claim (or, in the case of a Lessee Controlled Contest, permit Lessee to contest such Tax Claim) and if (and only so long as) the conditions described in clause 5.12(b) are satisfied, such Tax Indemnitee shall, in good faith and at Lessee's expense, contest (or, in the case of a Lessee Controlled Contest, permit Lessee to contest if permitted by applicable law) the validity, applicability or amount (as the case may be) of the Taxes that are the subject of such Tax Claim by (x) resisting payment thereof, (y) not paying such Taxes except under protest if protest is necessary and proper, or (z) if payment is made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in administrative and/or judicial proceedings permitted by applicable law (including all appeals, other than, as appellant, an appeal or petition to the United States Supreme Court or the equivalent court of any other jurisdiction). (b) CONDITIONS: A Tax Indemnitee's obligation under Clause 5.12(a) with respect to any Tax Claim is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions at the time the contest is requested and at all times while the contest (if any) is continuing: (i) no Default described in Clause 13.1(a) or (g) or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the amount of the Tax Claim (plus, if the Tax that is the subject of the Tax Claim is a recurring Tax, the aggregate amount of all similar Tax Claims with respect to all subsequent tax periods during the remainder of the Term) shall exceed the Tax Contest Threshold, (iii) if requested by such Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall have received (at Lessee's expense) from independent tax counsel selected by Lessee and reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee a written opinion that there is a realistic expectation that such contest will be successful, (iv) Lessee shall have agreed to pay, and shall be paying, on demand and on an After-Tax Basis, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Tax Indemnitee in connection with the contest of such Tax Claim, (v) if the contest is to be conducted in a manner requiring payment of the Tax Claim, Lessee shall have advanced to such Tax Indemnitee, without interest, the amount of the Tax Claim and shall have agreed to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee on an After-Tax Basis for any adverse Tax consequences of such interest-free advance, (vi) Lessee shall have agreed in writing that the Taxes that are the subject of the Tax Claim are Indemnified Taxes, except to the extent that the final determination of such contest demonstrates that such Taxes are Lessor Taxes and (vii) Lessor shall have determined in good faith that the action to be taken will not result in any risk of criminal penalty or any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on, the Aircraft. 56
(c) LESSEE CONTROLLED CONTESTS: For the purposes of this Clause 5, the words "Lessee Controlled Contest" means a contest pursuant to this Clause 5.12 involving only Indemnified Taxes, provided that (i) such contest may be conducted under applicable law in the name of Lessee and participation by a Tax Indemnitee in the contest is not required, (ii) no tax return of a Tax Indemnitee is held open with respect to which such Tax Indemnitee may reasonably be considered to have an actual or potential liability for Taxes that are not Indemnified Taxes, and (iii) no Tax Indemnitee shall then be contesting the same Tax in the same jurisdiction. Lessee shall, at its expense, conduct and control any Lessee Controlled Contest and, in the case of any contest involving a claim for one or more Indemnified Taxes and a claim for one or more Lessor Taxes, conduct and control such contest to the extent that it relates to claims for Indemnified Taxes, but only to the extent that the contest of the claims for Indemnified Taxes may be and are severed from the contest of claims for Lessor Taxes (and Lessor shall, at the request and expense of Lessee, use reasonable efforts in good faith to obtain such severance), provided, however, that in no event shall the Lessee be permitted, or a Tax Indemnitee be required, to take any action pursuant to this Clause 5.12 unless (and only so long as) the conditions described in clause 5.12(b) are satisfied. With respect to any contest conducted by the Lessee, the Lessee shall retain control over such contest but shall consult in good faith with Lessor and shall consider in good faith reasonable requests of Lessor including reasonable requests to participate in such contest. (d) TAX INDEMNITEE CONTROLLED CONTESTS: The affected Tax Indemnitee shall, at the expense of Lessee, conduct and control any contest (other than a Lessee Controlled Contest) of a Tax Claim pursuant to this Clause 5.12, provided, however, that in no event shall the Tax Indemnitee be required to commence or continue any contest pursuant to this Clause 5.12 unless (and only so long as) the conditions described in clause 5.12(b) are satisfied. With respect to any contest conducted by the a Tax Indemnitee, the Tax Indemnitee shall have sole control over such contest (including choice of forum) but shall consult in good faith with Lessee and shall consider in good faith reasonable requests of Lessee including reasonable requests to participate in such contest. (e) No Tax Indemnitee shall settle or compromise any Tax Claim or contest proceeding or (except as permitted by Clause 5.12(a)) refrain from appealing any adverse determination with respect thereto without the prior written consent of Lessee, provided that a Tax Indemnitee may in its sole discretion unconditionally waive in writing its right to the indemnification provided for in Clause 5.8 with respect to any Tax Claim and refrain from contesting, or continuing the contest of, such claim, in which event: 57
(i) Lessee shall have no liability to such Tax Indemnitee with respect to such Tax Claim (and, if the Indemnified Tax that is the subject of such Tax Claim is a recurring Tax, with respect to any corresponding claim with respect to any other taxable period if and to the extent that such failure to contest causes the contest of such corresponding claim to be precluded), and (ii) the Tax Indemnitee shall refund to Lessee any amounts theretofore paid or advanced by Lessee with respect to such Indemnified Tax, excluding all contest costs described in Clause 5.12(b)(iv) above. (f) Upon a final determination of a contest pursuant to this Clause 5.12: (i) if the amount of the indemnity payable by Lessee pursuant to this Clause 5 with respect to the contested Tax Claim exceeds the amount (if any) advanced by Lessee to the Tax Indemnitee pursuant to Clause 5.12(b)(v), Lessee shall pay to the Tax Indemnitee the amount of such excess not later than thirty (30) days after the day on which Lessee receives the Tax Indemnitee's written demand for the indemnity payable by the Lessee after the date of such final determination; or (ii) if the amount (if any) of the advance made by Lessee to the Tax Indemnitee pursuant to Clause 5.12(b)(v) exceeds the amount of the indemnity payable by Lessee to the Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Clause 5 with respect to the contested Tax Claim, the Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee the amount of such excess not later than thirty (30) days after the date on which the Lessor receives the Lessee's written demand therefor after the date of such final determination. 5.13 INDEMNITIES TO BE PAID ON AN AFTER-TAX BASIS/SURVIVAL: Any indemnity or other amount payable by Lessee pursuant to Clause 5.7, 5.8, 5.9 or 5.10 shall be paid on an After-Tax Basis. All the obligations and liabilities of Lessee under this Clause 5 shall survive and remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding the expiration or earlier termination or cancellation of this Agreement and the return of the Aircraft to Lessor, until all such obligations have been fully performed and all such liabilities have been paid in full. 5.14 ABSOLUTE OBLIGATIONS: This Agreement is a net lease. Lessee's payment and other obligations under this Agreement are absolute and unconditional irrespective of any contingency whatsoever including (but not limited to): 58
(a) any right of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which either party to this Agreement may have against the other, or which Lessee may have against the Manufacturer or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (b) any unavailability of the Aircraft for any reason (other than Lessor's failure to properly tender delivery of the Aircraft in accordance with this Agreement), including, but not limited to, a requisition of the Aircraft or any prohibition or interruption of or interference with or other restriction against Lessee's use, operation or possession of the Aircraft; (c) any lack or invalidity of title or any other defect in title, airworthiness, merchantability, fitness for any purpose, condition, design, or operation of any kind or nature of the Aircraft for any particular use or trade, or for registration or documentation under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, or any Event of Loss in respect of or any damage to the Aircraft occurring after Delivery; (d) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceedings by or against Lessor or Lessee; (e) any invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization of, or other defect in, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; and (f) any other cause which but for this provision would or might otherwise have the effect of terminating or in any way affecting any obligation of Lessee under this Agreement. Nothing in this Clause 5.14 will be construed so as to limit Lessee's right to institute separate legal proceedings or otherwise independently pursue any claim against Lessor or any other Person in the event of a breach of Clause 7.1 or to otherwise limit Lessee's rights and remedies to pursue in a court of law any claim it may have against Lessor or any other Person. 5.15 SECURITY: (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law and by way of continuing security, Lessee grants a security interest in the Security Deposit and all rights of Lessee to payment thereof, the debt represented thereby and/or any and all interest of Lessee therein to Lessor by way of first priority possessory security interest as security for Lessee's obligations under this Agreement and the Other Transaction Documents (the "Secured Liabilities"). Except as expressly permitted or required under this Agreement, including without limitation as set forth in Clauses 4.4 and 7.2 hereof, Lessee will not be entitled to repayment of the Security Deposit. Lessee will not assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or part of its rights in the 59
Security Deposit and Lessee agrees that it will enter into any additional documents and instruments necessary or reasonably requested by Lessor to evidence, create or perfect Lessor's Security Interest in and to the Security Deposit; (b) If Lessee fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor may immediately or at any time thereafter, without prior notice to Lessee: (i) setoff all or any part of the Secured Liabilities against the liabilities of Lessor in respect of the Security Deposit; and/or (ii) apply or appropriate the Security Deposit in or towards the payment or discharge of the Secured Liabilities in such order as Lessor sees fit; and/or (iii) exercise any other remedy or right available under applicable law. (c) If Lessor has exercised the setoff described in subclause (b) above, Lessee shall, following a demand in writing from Lessor, promptly restore the Security Deposit to the level at which they stood immediately prior to such setoff. 5.16 CURRENCY INDEMNITY: (a) Except for Losses suffered or incurred by Lessor and in respect of which Lessee has an obligation to indemnify Lessor hereunder, which shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor in the currency and in the amount in which such Loss is suffered or incurred, all amounts payable to Lessor under this Agreement shall be payable in Dollars in New York and payment in Dollars in New York is of the essence. (b) If Lessor receives an amount in respect of Lessee's liability under this Agreement or if such liability is converted into a claim, proof, judgment or order in a currency other than the currency (the "contractual currency") in which the amount is expressed to be payable under this Agreement: (i) Lessee will indemnify Lessor, on an After-Tax Basis, as an independent obligation against any loss arising out of or as a result of such conversion; (ii) if the amount received by Lessor, when converted into the contractual currency (at the market rate at which Lessor is able on the relevant date to purchase the contractual currency in London or at its option New York with that other currency), is less than the amount owed in the contractual currency, Lessee will, forthwith on 60
demand, pay to Lessor an amount in the contractual currency equal to the deficit; and (iii) Lessee will pay to Lessor on demand any exchange costs and Taxes (other than Lessor Taxes) payable in connection with the conversion; (c) Lessee waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under this Agreement in a currency other than that in which it is expressed to be payable. 5.17 SETOFF: Lessor may set off any matured obligation owed by Lessee under this Agreement or the Other Agreements against any obligation owed by Lessor to Lessee, regardless of the place of payment or currency. If the obligations are in different currencies, Lessor may convert either obligation at the market rate of exchange available in London or at its option New York for the purpose of the setoff. 6. MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTIES (a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred which is continuing, with effect from Delivery, Lessor assigns to Lessee, and authorizes Lessee to exercise such rights as Lessor may have under any warranty with respect to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part made by any manufacturer, vendor, sub-contractor or supplier (including compensation for loss of use of the Aircraft) to the extent that the same may be assigned or otherwise made available to Lessee. In furtherance of the foregoing, Lessor shall take such actions, at Lessee's cost and expense, as Lessee may reasonably request to make such warranties available to Lessee. Manufacturer shall deliver its consent to the assignment of any such warranties upon Delivery of the Aircraft. Lessee will give Lessor prompt written notice of any warranty claim in excess of the Warranty Claim Notification Threshold which is settled with Lessee on the basis of a cash payment other than reimbursements for work performed directly by Lessee; (b) If any Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor may: (i) retain for its own account any such proceeds previously paid to Lessor which would have been remitted to Lessee under this Clause 6 in the absence of such Default; and (ii) cause any proceeds of any pending claims to be paid to Lessor, rather than Lessee; until Lessee shall have cured any such Default whereupon Lessor shall pay any such proceeds which have not otherwise been applied to Lessee. 61
(c) On the Final Expiry Date, all rights held by Lessee derived from any warranties referenced in this Clause 6 (other than in respect of claims pending or discovered (provided the claim is filed promptly after the Final Expiry Date) as of the Final Expiry Date) shall immediately revert to Lessor, without any further act or deed by any Person; provided, however, Lessee shall nonetheless take such actions, at Lessee's cost and expense, as Lessor may reasonably request to ensure that all such rights are made available to Lessor; and (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Clause 6 or elsewhere in this Agreement, nothing in this Clause 6 shall be deemed to impose any liability or obligation on Lessor to transfer, assign or otherwise make available to Lessee any rights with respect to any warranties other than such rights, if any, as may have been transferred, assigned or otherwise made available to Lessor. 7. LESSOR'S COVENANTS 7.1 QUIET ENJOYMENT: Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither Lessor nor any Person claiming through or under Lessor (excluding a Person claiming through Lessor with respect to any Losses, Taxes or other liability for which Lessee is obligated to indemnify Lessor under this Agreement or for which Lessee is otherwise responsible under this Agreement) will disturb the quiet use, possession and enjoyment of the Aircraft by Lessee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; but the proper exercise by Lessor of its rights under or in connection with this Agreement will not constitute such a disturbance. The foregoing covenant is given by Lessor in lieu of the rights of Lessee arising under, and Lessee hereby waives and disclaims any and all rights arising under, Section 2A-211 of the UCC. Lessee agrees that its only right with respect to a default by Lessor under this Agreement, including a breach of the foregoing covenant, is to make a claim against Lessor for actual damages resulting directly therefrom and in any event subject to Clause 16.3 hereof. 7.2 LESSOR OBLIGATIONS FOLLOWING FINAL EXPIRY DATE: Within thirty (30) days following the Final Expiry Date, or such later time as Lessee has paid to Lessor all amounts which may then be due and payable under this Agreement and/or the Other Agreements, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor will pay to Lessee an amount (the "Relevant Cash Amount") equal to the amount (if any) of the Security Deposit then held and not applied by Lessor pursuant to Clauses 5.15 or 13.2, together with Interest (as defined below). Should a Default or Event of Default have occurred and be then continuing, Lessor shall retain the Relevant Cash Amount, may apply the same in full or partial satisfaction of any such Default or Event of 62
Default and shall return such Relevant Cash Amount to Lessee less any amount so applied promptly after such Default or Event of Default ceases to exist. For the purposes of this Clause 7.2, "Interest" means interest at the rate of six-month Dollar LIBID on an amount equal to the Relevant Cash Amount for a period equal to the period during which such amount was held by Lessor (net of any and all Taxes). 7.3 UNAPPLIED SUPPLEMENTAL RENT: So long as no Default or Event of Default has then occurred and is continuing, on the Final Expiry Date Lessor shall pay to Lessee an amount equal to the Unused Supplemental Rent minus the Landing Gear Supplemental Rent. Should a Default or Event of Default have occurred and be then continuing, Lessor shall retain the amounts otherwise payable to Lessee under this Clause 7.3 until such time as such Default or Event of Default shall have ceased to exist whereupon it shall promptly pay to Lessee such amounts less any amount thereof applied in full or partial cure of such Default or Event of Default. 7.4 MAINTENANCE CONTRIBUTIONS: (a) Provided no Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor will pay (as a separate and independent obligation and not as a return of Supplemental Rent) the following amounts to the relevant Agreed Maintenance Performer (or to Lessee, shall Lessor have received evidence of payment of the relevant Agreed Maintenance Performer), up to the amount owing to it (with any remaining balance to be paid to Lessee), by way of contribution to the cost of maintenance of the Aircraft performed by any Agreed Maintenance Performer: (i) AIRFRAME: With respect to the Airframe, the completion, in accordance with this Agreement, of the Airframe 6C/24,000 Hour Block Structural Check, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Airframe 6C/24,000 Hour Block Supplemental Rent actually paid by Lessee at the date such work starts less the aggregate amount previously paid by Lessor under this sub-clause; (ii) ENGINE LIFE-LIMITED PARTS: With respect to Life-Limited Parts within any Engine, the replacement, in accordance with this Agreement, of those Parts, the lesser of (x) the amount of that invoice and (y) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Engine LLP Supplemental Rent actually paid in respect of that Engine paid by Lessee at the date such work starts less the aggregate amount previously paid in respect of that Engine by Lessor under this sub-clause; 63
(iii) ENGINE PERFORMANCE RESTORATION: With respect to any Engine, the performance, in accordance with this Agreement, of Engine Performance Restoration in respect of that Engine, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Engine Supplemental Rent actually paid by Lessee in respect of that Engine at the date such work starts less the aggregate amount previously paid in respect of that Engine by Lessor under this sub-clause; (iv) APU PERFORMANCE RESTORATION: With respect to the APU, the performance, in accordance with this Agreement, of all APU Performance Restoration shop visits, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the APU Supplemental Rent actually paid by Lessee at the date such work starts less the aggregate amount previously paid by Lessor under this sub-clause; and (v) LANDING GEAR: With respect to the Landing Gear, the performance in accordance with this Agreement, of all work on the Landing Gear in the nature of overhaul and requiring removal and disassembly, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Landing Gear Supplemental Rent actually paid by Lessee at the date such work starts less the aggregate amount previously paid by Lessor under this sub-clause. 7.5 CLAIMS FOR REIMBURSEMENT: Lessee shall promptly submit to Lessor invoices with customary detail for labor and materials for all maintenance for which reimbursement is sought under Clause 7.4. Lessor shall, subject as provided below, pay to Lessee all amounts reimbursable hereunder within thirty (30) days of actual receipt of (i) an invoice for the relevant work, (ii) evidence of payment thereof and (iii) the agreed workscope maintenance plans, the final report and such other supporting documentation as typically provided by the Agreed Maintenance Performer, in each case reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, evidencing the performance of such maintenance. Notwithstanding the above Lessor and Lessee may agree a mutually satisfactory mechanism for the acceptance by Lessor of preliminary invoices. If within ten (10) days following the expiry of such thirty (30) day period referred to above, Lessor has not provided a detailed and reasoned explanation to Lessee as to why it is not satisfied with such invoices and supporting documentation, Lessor shall be deemed to be so satisfied for the purposes of this Clause 7.5; provided however that no reimbursement shall be made in respect of (i) components unless they are scheduled to be overhauled at that check and their lives are fully restored (and if this is not the case, a pro-rating payment adjustment will be made in respect of overhauls or replacements that are made before the relevant component scheduled life limit); (ii) any maintenance resulting from design faults or damage covered by warranty or caused by accidental damage, foreign objects, faulty maintenance, operational mishandling (unless the same shall result in a full 64
restoration) or line related quick engine change (QEC) kit maintenance (unless such maintenance is carried out at a different facility to the relevant Airframe check) or line replacement unit component maintenance; (iii) any cost items which are the costs of removal, reinstallation, transportation or are exchange, handling or similar costs or charges; (iv) any cost which is in excess of the relevant manufacturer's list price for the relevant parts or maintenance work; or (v) any maintenance, overhaul, renewal, replacement or repair which may be reimbursable out of any insurance claim (assuming, for these purposes, that no deductibles applied to the relevant insurances). Any overhaul, performance restoration or other work performed by Lessee or by any Affiliate of Lessee shall be invoiced at Lessee's or such Affiliate's standard rate in respect of performing such work (which shall be no higher than the standard rate then prevailing in the United States aviation industry in respect of performing such work). 8. LESSEE'S COVENANTS 8.1 DURATION: The undertakings in this Clause and in Clause 12 will: (a) except as otherwise stated, be performed at the expense of Lessee; and (b) remain in force until the Final Expiry Date in accordance with this Agreement and thereafter to the extent of any accrued rights of Lessor in relation to those undertakings. 8.2 INFORMATION: Lessee will: (a) notify Lessor promptly of the occurrence of any Event of Loss and of any Default or any other event which reasonably may be expected to have a materially adverse effect on Lessee's ability to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement; (b) furnish to Lessor: (i) as soon as available but not in any event later than 90 days after the last day of each fiscal quarter of Lessee, the consolidated financial statements of Lessee as soon as they are available (and comprising a balance sheet, a profit and loss statement and a statement of cash flows) prepared for the most recent previous financial quarter certified by a duly authorized financial officer of Lessee as being true and correct, each prepared in accordance with GAAP; 65
(ii) as soon as available but in no event later than 120 days after the last day of each financial year of Lessee, its audited consolidated balance sheet as of such day and its audited consolidated profit and loss statement and audited consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ending on such day (each prepared in accordance with GAAP); and (iii) on request from time to time, such other information regarding Lessee as Lessor may reasonably request; (c) without duplication of the information contained in the monthly reports furnished pursuant to Clause 8.2(e) below, promptly furnish to Lessor all information Lessor from time to time reasonably requests regarding the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part, its use, location and condition including, without limitation, the hours available on the Aircraft and any Engine until the next scheduled Major Check, or Engine overhaul or shop visit, as the case may be; (d) on request by Lessor from time to time, furnish to Lessor evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that all Taxes and charges incurred by Lessee with respect to the Aircraft, including without limitation all payments due to the relevant air traffic control authorities, have been paid and discharged in full; (e) within ten days following the end of each calendar month during the Term, provide Lessor with a monthly report on the Aircraft and each Engine substantially in the form of Schedule 6 or in such other form as Lessor may reasonably request from time to time with respect to such calendar month (or portion thereof falling within the Term); (f) without duplication of information or reporting provided under paragraph (e) above, give Lessor not less than 30 days' prior written notice as to the time and location of all Major Checks; (g) without duplication of information or reporting provided under paragraph (e) above, notify Lessor, promptly, of the removal of any Engine for the purpose of Engine Performance Restoration; and (h) promptly notify Lessor of: (i) any loss, theft, damage or destruction to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part, or any modification to the Aircraft, if in any such case the potential cost would reasonably be expected to exceed the Damage Notification Threshold; and (ii) any claim or other occurrence likely to give rise to a claim under the Insurances in excess of the Damage Notification Threshold and 66
provide, from time to time upon request by Lessor, the status of any negotiations with the insurance brokers over any such claim. 8.3 LAWFUL AND SAFE OPERATION: Lessee will operate the Aircraft only for commercial purposes from the Delivery Date until the date on which the Aircraft is returned to Lessor pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that Lessee must always: (a) comply with the law for the time being in force in any country or jurisdiction which may for the time being be applicable to the Aircraft or, so far as concerns the use and operation of the Aircraft, an owner or operator thereof, and take all reasonable steps to ensure that the Aircraft is not used for any illegal purpose; (b) not use the Aircraft in any manner contrary to any recommendation of the manufacturers of the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or any recommendation or regulation of the Air Authority or for any purpose for which the Aircraft is not designed or reasonably suitable; (c) ensure that the crew and engineers employed by Lessee have the qualifications and hold the licenses required by the Air Authority and applicable law; (d) use the Aircraft solely in commercial or other operations primarily in passenger service and in passenger configuration for which Lessee is duly authorized by the Air Authority and applicable law; (e) not use the Aircraft for the carriage of any goods, materials, livestock or items of cargo which involves a change of passenger configuration (or is inconsistent with passenger service and passenger configuration) or which could reasonably be expected to cause damage to the Aircraft or which would not be adequately covered by the Insurances, or any item or substance whose possession or carriage is illegal under any applicable law. Lessee will comply with any carriage regulations or restrictions from time to time issued by IATA; (f) not use the Aircraft for purposes of training, qualifying or re-confirming the status of cockpit personnel, except for the benefit of Lessee's cockpit personnel, and then only if the use of the Aircraft for such purpose is not disproportionate to the use of other aircraft of the same type operated by Lessee for such purpose; (g) not cause or permit the Aircraft to proceed to, or remain at, any location in an Excluded Country; provided, however, that no Default shall occur, if, due to climatic or atmospheric conditions, acts of God or to preserve the Aircraft or any Engine or Part or to preserve the life or safety of 67
passengers and/or crew, the Aircraft proceeds to an Excluded Country and the Lessee causes the Aircraft to be removed from such Excluded Country as soon as practicable after such conditions shall have ceased to exist; (h) obtain and maintain in full force all certificates, licenses, permits and authorizations for the time being required for the use and operation of the Aircraft, and for the making of payments required by, and the compliance by Lessee with, its other obligations under this Agreement; (i) not use, operate, or locate the Aircraft or suffer or permit the Aircraft to be used, operated or located (x) in any manner not covered by the Insurances, or (y)(A) in any recognized or threatened area of hostilities (unless covered by war risk and allied perils insurance pursuant to Schedule 4) or (B) in any area excluded from coverage by the Insurances, or (z) in any manner which would prejudice the interests of the Indemnitees in the Insurances, the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part; (j) not operate, maintain, insure or deal with the Aircraft or any Engine or Part in a manner which discriminates against the Aircraft or such Engine or Part, when compared with the manner in which Lessee operates, maintains, insures or deals with similar aircraft, engines or parts in Lessee's fleet; (k) promptly pay or cause to be paid within such period as may be agreed between Lessee and the relevant Government Entity all license, registration, navigation and airport fees and charges assessed and demanded by any Governmental Authority relating to the Aircraft which if not paid within such period would give rise to a Lien on the Aircraft other than a Permitted Lien; and (l) In the event that the Aircraft is detained or arrested in connection with outstanding charges incurred during the Lease Term in connection with (i) the furnishing, issue or provision of information, directions and other facilities in connection with the navigation or movement of aircraft (including the control or movement of vehicles in any part of an airport used for the movement of aircraft), or (ii) the landing, parking or taking off of aircraft at airports or for the use of, or services provided at, airports, then, without prejudice to Lessor's rights under Clause 13, Lessee agrees that it shall promptly discharge such charges and procure that such detention or arrest is lifted. Neither Lessor nor any Financing Party shall have any liability whatsoever as a result of any detention or arrest of the Aircraft in respect of any such charges or in relation to such detention or arrest or the lifting thereof. 8.4 OUTGOINGS: 68
Lessee will, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, promptly pay on an After-Tax Basis: (a) all license, registration, filing, recording and landing fees and all other amounts of any nature imposed by any Government Entity with respect to the Aircraft, including without limitation, ownership, delivery, leasing, possession, use, operation, return, sale or other disposition of the Aircraft (other than any such fees or amounts which are attributable to a sale or other disposition of any right, title or interest in or to the Aircraft or this Lease and other Transaction Documents by Lessor, Owner or Beneficiary except to the extent such sale or other disposition arise as a result of and during the continuance of an Event of Default or is required by the terms of the Transaction Documents); and (b) all rent, fees, charges and other amounts in respect of any premises where the Aircraft or any Part thereof is located from time to time; (in each case other than Taxes because Lessee's indemnification obligations with respect to Taxes are set forth in Clauses 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10 and 5.13) except to the extent that such payment is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, in respect of which adequate resources have been provided by Lessee and nonpayment 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 Owner, Lessor or any Financing Party. 8.5 SUB-LEASING: (a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Clause 8.5, Lessee will not, without the prior written consent of Lessor, sublease or otherwise part with possession of the Aircraft, the Engines or any Part except that Lessee may part with possession (i) with respect to the Aircraft, the Engines or any Part to the relevant manufacturers for testing or similar purposes or to an Agreed Maintenance Performer for testing, service, repair, maintenance or overhaul work, or alterations, modifications or additions to the extent required or permitted by this Agreement; and (ii) with respect to an Engine or Part, as expressly permitted by this Agreement; (b) Notwithstanding Clause 8.5(a), Lessee shall be permitted to wet lease the Aircraft for a term (including renewals) not to exceed six months, provided the Aircraft (i) shall be operated solely by regular employees of Lessee (or by personnel contracted by Lessee in the same manner as with respect to its other flight operations) possessing all current certificates and licenses that are required by applicable Regulations, including by the Country of Registration, and shall remain in the operational control and possession of Lessee, (ii) shall be subject to insurance coverage as provided for in this Agreement, (iii) shall be used and operated in 69
accordance with this Agreement and shall be maintained or caused to be maintained by Lessee in accordance with the Approved Maintenance Program and Lessee's normal maintenance practices and (iv) shall not be subject to any change in its Habitual Base or Country of Registration. 8.6 INSPECTION: (a) Lessor and any Person designated by Lessor may at reasonable times and on reasonable written notice, at their own expense, visit, inspect and survey the Aircraft, any Engine, any Part or the Aircraft Documents (or any portion thereof); provided, however, that (i) any inspection of the Aircraft will not interfere with the maintenance or operation of the Aircraft, or otherwise disrupt Lessee's normal business operations, (ii) any inspection of the Aircraft Documents shall occur only during normal business hours, (iii) any inspection of the Aircraft shall occur only during regularly scheduled maintenance (Lessee to notify Lessor, upon request, of the next scheduled maintenance) and (iv) Lessor shall not perform an inspection more than once in any calendar year (except during the last year of the Lease Term or if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the frequency of such inspection rights shall be reasonable but otherwise unlimited). Lessee shall comply with the reasonable requests of Lessor or its designee during the course of such inspection including (x) any request to travel on the flight deck as an observer, subject to any applicable Regulations and insurances, and (y) any requests to conduct visual, walk-around inspections of the Aircraft during regularly scheduled maintenance for the Aircraft and requests to go on board the Aircraft and/or to open any panels, bays, etc. during any such walk-around inspection, provided no such request shall materially affect the date of completion of such maintenance and return of the Aircraft to revenue service; (b) Lessee will pay to Lessor on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with any such visit, inspection or survey to the extent that such visit, inspection or survey is made to verify the correction of defects identified by Lessor during a prior visit, inspection or survey; and (c) Lessor will have no duty or liability to make, or arising out of any such visit, inspection or survey. 8.7 TITLE: Lessee will: 70

(e) not create or permit to exist any Security Interest upon the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part; (f) not do or permit to be done anything outside the scope of normal airline operations and procedures which may reasonably be expected to cause the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part to become subject to penalty, forfeiture, impounding, detention, damage or destruction and without prejudice to the foregoing, if any such penalty, forfeiture, impounding, detention, damage or destruction occurs, give Lessor notice thereof as promptly as reasonably practicable and promptly commence and diligently prosecute all steps necessary to procure the immediate release of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part, as the case may be; (g) not abandon the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part; (h) pay and discharge or cause to be paid and discharged when due and payable or make adequate provision by way of security or otherwise for all debts, damages, claims and liabilities before they give rise to a Security Interest over or affecting the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part except to the extent the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings during the pendency of such proceedings and adequate resources therefor have been provided in accordance with GAAP; and 71
(i) not attempt, or hold itself out as having any power, to sell, lease (except as permitted by this Agreement) or otherwise dispose of the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part. 8.8 GENERAL: Lessee will: (a) maintain its business as a commercial airline, will preserve its corporate existence (other than as permitted in Clause 8.8(c)) and will maintain such of its rights, privileges, licenses and franchises as are required to perform its obligations under this Agreement; (b) not change its "location" (as determined with reference to and for purposes of Section 9-307 of the UCC) in such manner as would, pursuant to Section 9-307 of the UCC, change the location for filing financing statements or renewals thereof from the District of Columbia, except upon 10 days prior written notice thereof to Lessor; (c) not consolidate or merge into or with any other corporation or other Person, and not convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property and other assets to, or acquire all or substantially all of the property or other assets or capital stock of (if such acquisition is analogous in either purpose or effect to a consolidation or merger), any corporation or other Person without the prior written consent of the Lessor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, unless: (i) the Person formed by such consolidation or into which Lessee is merged or the Person that acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee (the "Lessee Successor"): (a) has a tangible net worth (determined in accordance with GAAP) equal to or greater than that of Lessee immediately prior to such merger or consolidation; (b) shall execute and deliver to Lessor, Owner and Beneficiary an agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to such Persons containing an assumption by such Lessee Successor of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by Lessee under each of the Transaction Documents to which Lessee is a party, whether actual or contingent or relating to the period before or after the date of such assumption; and 72
(c) the Copa Holdings Guarantee shall continue to be applicable and enforceable in accordance with its terms; (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (iii) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor, Owner and Beneficiary (x) a certificate of an officer to the effect that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and the assumption agreement described in clause (i) above comply with this Clause 8.8(c) and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with and that such assumption agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Lessee Successor, constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation and is enforceable against such Lessee Successor in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by principles of equity, and (y) an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonable satisfactory to Lessor and Beneficiary; and (iv) Such filings and recordings shall have been made and Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor such other opinions and documents, in each case as either of them shall reasonably request. Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee in accordance with this Clause 8.8(c), the Lessee Successor shall succeed to, be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, and shall assume every obligation and liability of, Lessee under this Lease with the same effect as if the Lessee Successor had been named as Lessee herein. No such conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee shall have the effect of releasing Lessee or any Lessee Successor which shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Clause 8.8(c) from any liability under the Transaction Documents. Nothing contained herein shall permit any lease, sublease or other arrangement for the use, operation or possession of the Aircraft except in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Lease. (d) the obligation of Lessee to pay in U.S. Dollars outside The Republic of Panama is of the essence to Lessor. If for any reason any exchange control or other legal prohibition or restriction shall be imposed by The Republic of Panama with respect to the payment in U.S. Dollars outside The Republic of Panama, Lessee shall forthwith obtain any permit, authorization, waiver or exemption as may be necessary to permit the free 73
transfer of such U.S. Dollars to designated places outside The Republic of Panama or obtain all necessary waivers and exemptions therefrom, and if Lessee shall for any reason, because of legal restrictions or otherwise, be unable to obtain such permit, authorization, waiver or exemption, it shall forthwith make all necessary and satisfactory arrangements with reputable banking or other financing institutions to provide satisfactory assurance to Lessor that all of Lessee's obligations hereunder will be satisfied as they arise in the manner contemplated by this Lease. 8.9 NON-DISCRIMINATION: Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Lessee will cause the Aircraft and the Engines to be maintained and used, in substantially the same manner and with substantially the same care as used by or on behalf of Lessee with respect to similar aircraft and engines of like make, model and vintage operated by Lessee. Lessee also agrees that it will not, nor will it permit anyone to, discriminate in a manner in any way adverse to the interests of Lessor, Owner or any Financing Party in the Aircraft (as compared to other aircraft of the same type operated by or on behalf of Lessee) with respect to its use, operation or maintenance, modification or alteration during the Lease Term other than the withdrawal of the Aircraft from use and operation as is necessary to prepare the Aircraft for return to Lessor upon such expiration, cancellation or termination. 8.10 RECORDS: Lessee will: (a) procure that accurate, complete and current records of all flights made by, and all maintenance carried out on, the Aircraft (including in relation to each Engine and Part subsequently installed, before the installation) are kept in English and in such manner as the Air Authority may from time to time require (including, but not limited to the requirements of FAR 91.417, FAR 121.380 and the requirements of the Approved Maintenance Program). The maintenance records will form part of the Aircraft Documents; (b) procure access (in house or through third parties) to a revision service in respect of, and will maintain with appropriate revisions in English and in accordance with FAR 91.417 and FAR 121.380, all technical publications required by applicable laws and sound practice of major international air transport operators in respect of the Aircraft; and (c) retain the Aircraft Documents and other materials at Lessee's principal place of business, and subject to applicable law, regulation and legal process not permit any other person to have possession of or control over the same without Lessor's prior written consent, except for an Approved 74
Maintenance Provider while completing maintenance, testing, repair, modification or other services in respect of the Aircraft or any Engine or Part. 8.11 PROTECTION: Lessee will: (a) take all actions reasonably requested by Lessor that are within Lessee's control to keep the Aircraft registered with the Air Authority in the name of Owner; (b) make any and all filings required to be made with the Air Authority registry that are within its control and take all other actions within its control that are requested by Lessor and necessary or advisable to reflect on the Air Authority registry any change in the ownership of the Aircraft, or in the interests of Lessor, Owner or the Financing Parties in this Agreement or the Aircraft, any modification to the Aircraft (such as the permanent replacement of any Engine or Part in accordance with this Agreement) or as a result of any change in applicable law. Lessor will bear any costs incurred as a consequence of a transfer by Lessor, Owner or the Financing Parties of the interests of Lessor, Owner or the Financing Parties in this Agreement or the Aircraft or a change in the identity of Lessor, Owner or the Financing Parties (in each case, unrelated to the replacement of any Engine or Part by Lessee or a Default), and Lessee will bear any other costs incurred in complying with this Clause, including in connection with the replacement of any Engine or Part by Lessee in accordance herewith; and (c) do all acts and things (including, without limitation, making any filing or registration with the Air Authority or any other Government Entity or as required to comply with the Geneva Convention where applicable) and execute and deliver all documents (including, without limitation, any amendment of this Agreement) as may from time to time be required by Lessor: (i) following any change in the ownership or financing of the Aircraft which is permitted pursuant to Clause 14 or in the manner of securing Lessor's obligations to the Financing Parties, in each case at the cost of Lessor; or (ii) following any modification of the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or the permanent replacement of any Engine or Part in accordance with this Agreement, so as to ensure that the rights of Lessor as owner of the Aircraft and under this Agreement apply with the same effect as before; or 75
(iii) to establish, maintain, preserve, perfect and protect the rights of Lessor under this Agreement or in the Aircraft and, at the cost of Lessor, the rights of any Financing Party, in particular (without limitation), if in the Country of Registration there shall be, or shall be brought into force, any legislative or other provisions giving effect to the Geneva Convention or otherwise relating to recognition of rights in aircraft, Lessee shall at its own cost forthwith do all such acts as may be necessary to perfect recognition of Lessor's title to and interest in the Aircraft and, at the cost of Lessor, the rights of any Financing party as mortgagee and/or assignee in accordance with such legislative or other provisions. If the Country of Incorporation has, or at any time brings into force, any legislative or other provisions giving effect to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment (the "Convention") and/or the Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters Specific to Aircraft Equipment (the "Protocol"), Lessee at its own cost and expense shall from time to time, do or cause to be done any and all acts and things which may be required or desirable (in the reasonable opinion of Lessor) to ensure that Lessor and, at the cost of Lessor, any Financing Party have the full benefit of the Convention and/or the Protocol in connection with the Aircraft and any Engine, including (but not limited to): (A) any matters connected with registering, perfecting, preserving and/or enhancing any international interest(s) vested in Lessor with respect to the Aircraft and/or any Engine and constituted by this Agreement; (B) entry in to agreements (subordination or otherwise) to protect and/or enhance and/or improve the priority of any international interest(s) referred to in the foregoing paragraph (A); and (C) excluding in writing the application of any provisions of the Convention and/or Protocol that Lessor may deem desirable in connection with the foregoing. In this sub clause the following terms have the following meanings: INTERNATIONAL INTEREST has the meaning as expressed in the Convention and Protocol; STATE has the meaning as expressed in the Convention and Protocol; and 76
STATE IN WHICH LESSEE IS SITUATED IN shall be constructed in accordance with the expression "state in which the debtor is situated in" as set out in Article 4 of the Convention. (d) if at any time subsequent to the initial registration of the Aircraft and the initial filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, any other filing or any recording or other act becomes necessary to perfect, protect and preserve the rights and interests of Lessor hereunder and in the Aircraft and the Security Deposit, including without limitation the filing of continuation statements with respect to filed Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, at its cost and expense, procure that such filings, recordings and acts are done pursuant to applicable law. Lessee agrees that Lessor is hereby authorized to make any filings or recordings referred to in this paragraph; (e) not to revoke the Lessee Power of Attorney; and (f) to cause the following: (i) the filing of a Spanish language Public Deed with respect to the Bill of Sale, the Trust Agreement, this Agreement and Lease Supplement No. 1 at the Public Registry of Panama within 48 hours after the date and time of Delivery; (ii) the obtaining of a temporary `certificado de matricula' from the National Aeronautic Registry of the Civil Aviation Authority of Panama with respect to the Aircraft at or before Delivery; (iii) the obtaining of a permanent `certificado de matricula' from the National Aeronautic Registry of the Civil Aviation Authority of Panama promptly, and in any event within 45 days after Delivery; and (iv) promptly and in due course after Delivery, a Public Registry Certificate confirming registration of the Public Deed referred to in the preceding clause (i). 8.12 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR: Lessee will, at its own expense: (a) keep the Aircraft airworthy (except during any period during which the Aircraft is undergoing maintenance, repair or modification as required or permitted hereunder) in all respects and in good repair and condition; (b) not change the Approved Maintenance Program without all necessary approvals from the Air Authority; provided, however, that if any such 77
change adversely affects the interests of Lessor with respect to the maintenance status of the Aircraft (or payments in respect of such status) required pursuant to the provisions of Clause 12 and Schedule 3 of this Agreement, then the requirements of such provisions shall be deemed adjusted so that the maintenance condition of the Aircraft at redelivery required thereby is not diminished, and the payments to or by Lessor are not adversely changed from the maintenance condition and payments that would have been required in the absence of such change to the Approved Maintenance Program; (c) provide Lessor with a summary of, access to and information regarding substantial changes to the Approved Maintenance Program; (d) maintain the Aircraft in accordance with the Approved Maintenance Program through an Agreed Maintenance Performer; (e) maintain the Aircraft in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Air Authority applicable to the Aircraft; (f) comply (or cause compliance) with all Mandatory Orders and Airworthiness Directives and similar mandatory requirements applicable to the Aircraft, any Engine or Part having a compliance date during the Term or existing as of the Final Expiry Date and having a compliance date within 180 days after the Final Expiry Date and which are required by the Air Authority or the FAA (provided that in relation to Airworthiness Directives Lessor and Lessee agree to the cost sharing formula set out in Schedule 11); (g) comply (or cause compliance) with all applicable laws and the regulations of the Air Authority and other aviation authorities with jurisdiction over Lessee or the Aircraft, any Engine or Part regardless of upon whom such requirements are imposed and which relate to the maintenance, condition, use or operation of the Aircraft or require any modification or alteration to the Aircraft, any Engine or Part; and (h) maintain in good standing a current certificate of airworthiness (in the appropriate category for the nature of the operations of the Aircraft) for the Aircraft issued by the Air Authority except where (i) the Aircraft is undergoing maintenance, modification or repair required or permitted by this Agreement; or (ii) the Air Authority shall have withdrawn or suspended such certificate in respect of all aircraft of the same model or period of manufacture as the Aircraft (in which case Lessee shall comply with all directions of the Air Authority in connection with such withdrawal or suspension). Lessee will from time to time provide to Lessor a copy of the certificate of airworthiness promptly after receipt of a written request. 78
8.13 PERMANENT REPLACEMENT OF ENGINES AND PARTS: (a) Subject to Clauses 8.14 and 8.16, Lessee shall promptly procure the replacement of any Engine (an "Original Engine") which has suffered an Engine Event of Loss, and Lessee may procure the replacement of any Engine (an "Original Engine") in order to comply with the requirements of the Return Conditions, in each case with an engine complying with the following conditions: (i) it is of the same manufacturer and model (or, at Lessee's option, an improved model), it is suitable for installation and use on the Airframe without impairing the value or utility of the Airframe and it is compatible with the remaining installed Engine, it has equivalent interchangeable modification status, equivalent or lower flight hours elapsed and cycles elapsed since Life Limited Parts replacement and since last Engine Performance Restoration, equivalent remaining warranty status as the Original Engine and equivalent or greater value and utility as the Original Engine; at the time of the engine replacement Lessor or Lessee, as applicable, shall adjust the Engine Supplemental Rent to reflect the maintenance utility of the replacement engine; (ii) it has become and remains the property of Lessor free from Security Interests (except Permitted Liens) and on installation on the Aircraft will without further act be subject to this Agreement; and Lessee shall supply to Lessor with an officer's certificate demonstrating full compliance with this Clause 8.13(a); and (iii) Lessee has full details of its source and maintenance records with back to birth traceability on all Life Limited Parts. Such replacement Engine shall be deemed an "Engine" as defined herein for all purposes hereunder. Lessee agrees to promptly notify Lessor of any such substitution, and provide Lessor with an officer's certificate confirming full compliance with this Clause 11.1(e). Lessee agrees to take such action and execute such documents, including a warranty bill of sale, as Lessor may reasonably request in order that any such replacement Engine shall be duly and properly titled in the name of Owner and leased by Lessor hereunder to the same extent as the Engine thereby. Lessor shall take such action and shall execute such documents, and shall cause Owner to take such action and execute such documents, as are reasonably necessary to convey title to the Engine replaced pursuant to the preceding sentence to Lessee. Such conveyance shall be free of and warranted as against Lessor Liens, but otherwise without representation or warranty, express or implied. 79
(b) Subject to Clause 8.16 hereof, Lessee shall promptly procure the replacement of any Part which has become time-, cycle- or calendar-expired, lost, stolen, seized, confiscated, destroyed, damaged beyond repair, unserviceable or permanently rendered unfit for use, with a part complying with the following conditions: (i) it is of the same manufacturer and model (or, at Lessee's option, an improved model), it is in as good operating condition as the replaced Part, it has equivalent interchangeable modification status and equivalent or more hours available until the next scheduled check, inspection, overhaul and shop visit as the replaced Part and it is of an equivalent or greater value and utility as the replaced Part; (ii) it has become and remains the property of Lessor free from Security Interests (except Permitted Liens) and on installation on the Aircraft will without further act be subject to this Agreement; and Lessee shall supply to Lessor all such title documents as Lessor may require in good faith to evidence and perfect the same; and (iii) Lessee has full details of its source and maintenance records with back to birth traceability as to Life Limited Parts. (c) Any Part so replaced, upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth above, shall become the property of Lessee free and clear of Lessor Liens. 8.14 REMOVAL AND INTERCHANGE OF ENGINES: Lessee will: (a) ensure that no Engine is removed from the Airframe unless it is promptly replaced as expressly permitted by this Agreement; (b) ensure that any Engine which is not installed on the Aircraft, or an aircraft permitted by paragraph (d) below is, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, properly and safely stored (unless installed on another airframe operated by Lessee as permitted hereunder) and insured, and kept free from Security Interests (other than Permitted Liens), and either (i) has been inducted into a repair shop and is undergoing repair or (ii) unserviceable awaiting repair shop visit for no longer than 45 days; and (c) be permitted, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to install any Engine on an aircraft operated by Lessee (or, any permitted sub-lessee), provided that neither (i) the provisions of any applicable law nor (ii) the terms of any lease or other agreement or Security Interest to which such aircraft or engine is subject, prohibit such installation or will 80
have the effect at any time of divesting or impairing the title and interests of Lessor as owner and any Financing Party as mortgagee of such Engine. Lessee shall obtain from the lessor of any airframe on which an Engine is installed and from any holder of a Security Interest in any airframe on which an Engine is installed, an agreement (which may be in the form of a relevant clause in any lease agreement, mortgage, security agreement or similar agreement in respect of such airframe) in writing for the benefit of the Lessor (or directly with the Lessor) that such Person will respect the interests of Lessor as owner and lessor, respectively, and of the Financing Parties, in such Engine and will not acquire or claim any right, title or interest in such Engine as a result of such Engine being installed on such other airframe at any time while such Engine is subject to this Agreement. Provided Lessee shall have received from a lessor of or secured party holding a Security Interest in any airframe leased to Lessee or owned by Lessee and subject to a Security Interest under such an agreement, Lessor hereby agrees for the benefit of such lessor or secured party that Lessor will not acquire or claim as against such lessor or secured party, any rights, title or interest in any engine covered by such lease or Security Interest as a result of any such engine being installed on the Airframe at any time while such engine is subject to such lease or Security Interest. 8.15 REMOVAL AND INTERCHANGE OF PARTS: Lessee will, subject to Clause 8.16: (a) ensure that no Part is at any time removed from the Aircraft unless it is promptly replaced by a part complying with Clause 8.13(b); (b) ensure that any Part which is not installed on the Aircraft (or any other aircraft as expressly permitted by this Agreement) is properly and safely stored and insured, and kept free from Security Interests (other than Permitted Liens); and (c) be permitted, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to install any Part on an aircraft operated by Lessee (or any permitted sub-lessee), provided that Clause 8.14(d) would be complied with in respect of such Part if it were an Engine. 8.16 TEMPORARY INSTALLATION OF ENGINES AND PARTS: Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 8.13 and Clause 8.15, Lessee will be permitted, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to install, or permit the installation of, any engine or part on the Aircraft by way of replacement if: (a) there is not available to Lessee or, where there is a permitted sublease in place, the sub-lessee thereunder, at the time and in the place that engine or 81
part is required to be installed on the Aircraft, a replacement engine or, as the case may be, part complying with the requirements of Clause 8.13 above; (b) it would result in a disruption of the operation of the Aircraft and/or the business of Lessee or, where there is a permitted sublease in place, the sub-lessee thereunder, to ground the Aircraft until an engine or part, as the case may be, complying with the requirements of Clause 8.13 above becomes available for installation on the Aircraft; and (c) as soon as practicable after installation of the same on the Aircraft but, in any event, no later than the earlier of (i) the next Major Check or Engine Shop Visit (as applicable) or (ii) the Final Expiry Date, Lessee or, where there is a permitted sublease in place, the sub-lessee thereunder, removes any such engine or part and replaces it with the Engine or Part replaced by it or by an engine or part, as the case may be, complying with Clause 8.13 above. 8.17 POOLING OF ENGINES AND PARTS: Without prejudice to its rights pursuant to Clauses 8.14(d) and 8.15(c), Lessee shall not without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, permit or enter into any agreement or arrangement for the pooling or interchange of any Engine or Part with any other Person. 8.18 EQUIPMENT CHANGES: (a) Lessee shall not make any modification or addition to the Aircraft (each an "Equipment Change"), except for an Equipment Change which: (i) is completed in connection with the post-Delivery installation of the In-flight Entertainment/Communications System (IFE) or the Winglets; or (ii) is expressly permitted by this Agreement; or (iii) does not diminish the value, utility, condition, or airworthiness of the Aircraft and either (aa) constitutes a modification to the class configuration or passenger seating in the cabin, or (bb) has a cost of less than US$250,000, or (cc) has the prior written approval of Lessor which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (iv) arises due to the requirements of the Air Authority and/or the FAA or otherwise constitutes an obligation of Lessee under this Agreement. 82
(b) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee may remove any Equipment Change to the extent it is severable from the Aircraft and (i) such Equipment Change is not required by the Air Authority and/or the FAA and (ii) such severance will not adversely affect the value, utility, condition or airworthiness of the Aircraft as compared to value, utility, condition or airworthiness of the Aircraft immediately prior to such severance, assuming the Aircraft was of the value and utility and in the condition and repair required by the terms of this Agreement; and (c) Title to Equipment Change, whether or not the removal of which is permitted pursuant to Clause 8.18(b), will on installation and until such permitted removal, without further act, vest in Lessor subject to this Agreement free and clear of all Security Interests (other than Permitted Liens). Lessee will at its own expense take all such steps and execute, and procure the execution of, all such instruments as Lessor may require and which are necessary to ensure that title so passes to Lessor according to all applicable laws. At any time when requested by Lessor, Lessee will provide evidence to Lessor's satisfaction (including the provision, if required, to Lessor of bills of sale and legal opinions) that title has so passed to Lessor. Upon any permitted removal thereof, Lessor will, at Lessee's cost and upon Lessee's request, provide Lessee with such documents as Lessee shall reasonably request to cause title to such modifications to vest in Lessee free and clear of Lessor Liens but otherwise without representation or warranty, express or implied. 8.19 THIRD PARTY: All the obligations of Lessee under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any parting with possession of the Aircraft by Lessee (other than redelivery of the Aircraft by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to Clause 12). 9. INSURANCE 9.1 INSURANCES: (a) Lessee shall, at its own expense, maintain in full force during the Lease Period insurances in respect of the Aircraft in terms, amounts, form and substance customarily maintained by similar carriers operating similar aircraft in similar circumstances otherwise satisfactory to Lessor (acting reasonably) complying with the requirements of this Clause 9 and Schedule 4 (the "Insurances", which expression includes, where the context so admits, any relevant re-insurance(s)); (b) The Insurances shall be effected through such brokers and with such insurers (in each case which are properly licensed and are operating in 83
accordance with Panamanian law), and shall be subject to such deductibles and subject to such exclusions, as may (in each case) be indicated in Schedule 4 or otherwise satisfactory to Lessor; and (c) The Insurances shall be effected either: (i) 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) satisfactory to Lessor, acting reasonably (and for such purposes Lessee's current lead underwriter is deemed to be satisfactory to Lessor); or (ii) with a single insurer or group of insurers approved by Lessor who does not fully 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 (acting reasonably) of all risks insured (and for such purposes Lessee's current lead underwriter is deemed to be acceptable to Lessor). 9.2 REQUIREMENTS Lessor's current requirements as to the Insurances are as specified in this Clause and in Schedule 4. Lessor may from time to time and in good faith stipulate other requirements for the Insurances so that (a) the scope and level of cover are maintained in line with best industry practice of similar carriers operating similar aircraft in similar circumstances, and (b) the interests of Lessor and the other Indemnitees continue to be prudently protected, provided that other requirements shall not reduce the maximum deductibles, nor raise the minimum war and allied perils liabilities amount, unless Lessee shall have raised the same on a fleet wide basis.. 9.3 STANDARDS Lessee shall be obligated to maintain insurance in respect of the Aircraft for the purposes of this Agreement which reflects Lloyds' endorsement AVN67B (as at the date hereof) or the equivalent thereof. In the event that any provision of AVN67B (as at the date hereof) conflicts or is otherwise inconsistent with the requirements of this Clause 9 and Schedule 4 then (so long as it shall be general industry practice to insure aircraft financed or leased on the basis of such endorsement) the provisions of AVN67B shall prevail and such endorsement shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement. 9.4 CHANGE 84
If at any time Lessor, following a change in circumstances and acting reasonably, decides to revoke its approval of any insurer or reinsurer, Lessor and/or its brokers shall consult with Lessee and Lessee's insurers or, if applicable, brokers regarding whether that approval should be revoked to protect the interests of the parties insured. If, following the consultation, Lessor considers that any change should be made, Lessee shall then, as promptly as reasonably practicable, arrange or procure the arrangement of alternative cover satisfactory to Lessor, provided such change is approved by each other Lessor or secured lender on aircraft in Lessee's fleet affected by such change and does not otherwise make compliance by Lessee with the insurance requirements set forth in this Clause 9 or in Schedule 4 hereto impossible or not practicable. 9.5 INSURANCE COVENANTS Lessee shall: (a) ensure that all legal requirements as to insurance of the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part which may from time to time be imposed by the laws of the Country of Registration or any state, from or over which the Aircraft may be flown, in so far as they affect or concern the operation of the Aircraft, are complied with, and in particular those requirements compliance with which is necessary to ensure that: (i) the Aircraft is not in danger of detention or forfeiture; (ii) the Insurances remain valid and in full force and effect; and (iii) the interests of the Indemnitees in the Insurances and the Aircraft or any Part are not thereby prejudiced; (b) comply with the terms and conditions of each policy of the Insurances and not do, consent or agree to any act or omission which: (i) invalidates or may be reasonably expected to invalidate the Insurances; or (ii) renders or may be reasonably expected to render void or voidable the whole or any part of any of the Insurances; or (iii) brings any particular insured liability within the scope of an exclusion or exception to the Insurances; (c) not without the prior written approval of Lessor take out any additional insurance or reinsurance in respect of the Aircraft which would prejudice the rights of Lessor or any additional insured in respect of the policies required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder, unless relating solely to 85
liability insurances, hull total loss, business interruption, profit commission and deductible risk; (d) on request, provide to Lessor evidence that the Insurance premiums have been paid; (e) not make any modification or alteration to the Insurances material and adverse to the interests of any of the Indemnitees; (f) be responsible for any deductible under the Insurances; (g) if at any time insurance clause AVN 2000 or its successor is endorsed on the policies of Insurance, ensure that the insurance write back clauses AVN 2001 and AVN 2002 as applicable (or any equivalent clauses) are endorsed on the policies of Insurance required to be maintained under this Agreement and give and comply with all representations, warranties and undertakings required by the insurers or reinsurers in connection with such clauses; and (h) provide any other material information and assistance in respect of the Insurances which Lessor may from time to time reasonably request for substantial reasons. 9.6 RENEWAL OF INSURANCES Lessee shall commence renewal procedures in a timely manner prior to expiry of any of the Insurances, and provide to Lessor: (a) upon the request of Lessor, a written status report of renewal negotiations 10 days prior to each expiry date; (b) confirmation of completion of renewal prior to each expiry date; and (c) certificates of insurance (and where appropriate certificates of reinsurance), and a broker's letter of undertaking in a form acceptable to Lessor in English, detailing the coverage and confirming the insurers' (and any reinsurers') agreement to the specified insurance requirements of this Agreement within seven days after each renewal date (and, in the case of the reinsurance certificate and reinsurance broker's letter of undertaking, within 14 days after each renewal date). 9.7 FAILURE TO INSURE If Lessee fails to maintain the Insurances in compliance with this Agreement, Lessee shall: 86
(a) forthwith ground or cause to be grounded the Aircraft and shall keep or procure that the Aircraft be kept grounded until such time as the Insurances shall again be in full force and effect; and (b) immediately notify Lessor of the non-compliance of the Insurances and provide Lessor with full details of any steps which Lessee is taking or proposes to take, in order to remedy such non-compliance; and each of the Indemnitees will be entitled but not bound (without prejudice to any other rights of Lessor under this Agreement): (i) to pay the premiums due or to effect and maintain insurances required hereunder but not maintained in accordance herewith or otherwise remedy Lessee's failure in such manner (including, without limitation to effect and maintain an "owner's interest" policy) as Lessor acting in good faith considers appropriate. Any sums so expended by Lessor will become immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, from the date of expenditure by Lessor up to the date of reimbursement by Lessee; and (ii) 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. 9.8 CONTINUING INSURANCE FOR INDEMNITY Lessor may require Lessee to effect and to maintain (at no cost to Lessor) liability insurance after the Final Expiry Date with respect to its liability under the indemnities in Clause 10 for such period as Lessor may reasonably require (but in any event for not more than two years following the Final Expiry Date or until completion of the next C Check (or equivalent check) with respect to the Aircraft (whichever is the earlier to occur)) which provides for each Indemnitee to be named as additional insured. Lessee's obligation in this Clause shall not be affected by Lessee ceasing to be lessee of the Aircraft and/or any of the Indemnitees ceasing to have any interest in respect of the Aircraft. 10. INDEMNITY 10.1 GENERAL: Lessee agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees, on demand and on an After-Tax Basis, from and against any and all Losses (regardless of when the same is made or incurred, whether before, during or after the Term): 87
(a) which may at any time be imposed, incurred, suffered or asserted, directly or indirectly as a result of or connected with the possession, delivery, performance, management, ownership or possession, registration, control, maintenance, condition, service, repair, overhaul, leasing, use, operation, modification, insurance, inspection, testing, design, sublease, condition or return of, or other matters relating to, the Aircraft, any Engine or Part (either in the air or on the ground) whether or not such Losses may be attributable to any defect in the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part, whether or not discoverable, or to its design, testing or use or otherwise, and regardless of when the same arises or whether it arises out of or is attributable to any act or omission, negligent or otherwise, of any Indemnitee or to strict liability; or (b) which without duplication of recovery arise out of any act or omission which invalidates or which renders voidable any of the Insurances; or (c) which without duplication of recovery may at any time be suffered or incurred as a consequence of (i) any design, article or material in the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part, including any defect in design and regardless of whether it is discoverable; or (ii) its operation or use during the Term hereof constituting an infringement of patent, copyright, trademark, design or other proprietary right; or (d) which may at any time be suffered or incurred, directly or indirectly, as a result of any breach by Lessee of any of its obligations under this Agreement. but excluding any Losses in relation to a particular Indemnitee to the extent that such Losses: (i) are covered pursuant to any other indemnity provision of this Agreement or in respect of which Lessor has agreed to not seek reimbursement from Lessee pursuant to an express provision of this Agreement; or (ii) arise as a result of the gross negligence (other than gross negligence imputed to that Indemnitee by reason of its interest in the Aircraft or this Agreement), willful misconduct of that Indemnitee or any Indemnitee or breach of any representation, warranty or obligation hereunder or under any other Transaction Document; or (iii) consists of Taxes (but without prejudice to any Indemnitee's rights under any other provision of this Agreement relating to Taxes); or (iv) arise as a result of a Lessor Lien; or 88
(v) represents or constitutes ordinary and usual operation or overhead expenses of such Indemnitee, except to the extent that the same arise on the occurrence of an Event of Default; or (vi) is attributable to an event or circumstances which occur after the Final Expiry Date unless such Loss results from, or arises out of, any act, omission or circumstance existing during the Term; or (vii) are attributable to the sale, assignment or other transfer (voluntary or involuntary) of all or part of any Indemnitee's interest in or to the Aircraft, any Engine or Part, this Agreement or any Transaction Document other than a sale, assignment or other transfer required by the terms of a Transaction Document, arising as a result of or otherwise in connection with an Event of Default or an Event of Loss or if requested by, or consented to, by Lessee; or (viii) are costs or expenses of entering into amendments to this Agreement and/or other Transaction Documents not required by the terms of a Transaction Document, and not requested by, or consented to, by Lessee. 10.2 NOTIFICATION: Lessor shall promptly notify Lessee in writing of any matter for which Lessee is obligated to indemnify under this Clause 10 (each a "Claim"); provided, however, the delay or failure of Lessor to give notice to Lessee in accordance with this Clause 10.2 will not discharge or release Lessee from any of its indemnity obligations under Clause 10.1 except, and only to the extent, that such delay or failure was attributable to circumstances which were, given reasonable diligence, impractical or impossible for Lessor to avoid and results in a material increase in the amount which Lessee is required to indemnify, materially prejudices or precludes Lessee's right to defend any such Claim or results in material, additional obligations for Lessee in defending against any suit or proceeding relating to such matter. 10.3 CONTEST: Lessor and Lessee will consult with one another to consider what action may properly be taken to defend or otherwise resist or mitigate any Claim. Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall, following such consultation, have the right to assume and conduct promptly and diligently the defense of the relevant Indemnitee with respect to such Claim, and no Claim will be settled by an Indemnitee without the prior written consent of Lessee (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that: (a) Lessee shall have consulted, and shall continue to consult, with Lessor as to the defense and conduct thereof; 89
(b) Lessee shall have made, and continue to make, adequate provision or reserve with respect to such Claim and any associated costs and expenses (in accordance with GAAP) and shall have fully indemnified or agreed to indemnify the Indemnitees for all costs, liabilities, expenses or damages on an After Tax Basis arising as a result of such Claim or its defense by Lessee of such Indemnitee pursuant to this Clause; provided, however, that Lessee shall not be bound by such an agreement to indemnify to the extent that it is established that, in accordance with the terms of this Clause 10, that Lessee is not liable to such Indemnitees in respect of such Claim. (c) without prejudice to Lessee's continued right to contest any Claim, no Indemnitee shall be prevented by this Clause 10.3 from settling or paying any Claim immediately if such Indemnitee is required by applicable law to do so but such Indemnitee shall pay over to Lessee any amount paid by Lessee by way of indemnity in respect of such settlement or payment which is later refunded to such Indemnitee if (i) Lessee agrees that it was liable for such claim under this Clause 10 and (ii) Lessee establishes that it would have been successful in respect of such contest and (iii) no Default has occurred and is continuing, and if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing the same shall be retained by Lessor until such Default (and any other Default) shall have been cured then promptly paid to Lessee to the extent not applied in satisfaction of Lessee's obligations in respect of any Default; and Lessor shall be entitled, upon consultation with and prior written notice to Lessee, to terminate Lessee's participation in the defense of a Claim where an act or omission of Lessee indicates that the interests of any Indemnitee have a reasonable likelihood of being materially adversely prejudiced by Lessee's continued participation in the defense of such Claim. 10.4 SUBROGRATION: Upon payment in full to an Indemnitee of any demand for indemnification under this Agreement, Lessee will be subrogated to any rights and remedies of such Indemnitee in respect of the Loss in respect of which such payment has been made (a "Subrogated Claim") and without warranty as to the enforceability of such rights, and subject to the following provisions: (a) such Indemnitee shall, at the sole cost and expense of Lessee, assist Lessee in any manner reasonably requested by Lessee for the purpose of enforcing and obtaining the rights and benefits intended to be conferred by this Clause 10.4 upon Lessee; 90
(b) Lessee shall keep Lessor fully informed of any Subrogated Claim by Lessee, shall consult with Lessor regarding the conduct of such Subrogated Claim; and Unless doing so would materially prejudice Lessee's ability to recover on such Subrogated Claim, Lessee shall pursue any Subrogated Claim in its own name, as subrogee to the rights thereto. 10.5 DURATION: The indemnities contained in this Agreement will continue in full force after the Final Expiry Date. 11. EVENTS OF LOSS 11.1 EVENTS OF LOSS (a) PRE-DELIVERY: If an Event of Loss occurs prior to delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee, this Agreement will immediately terminate and except as expressly stated in this Agreement neither party will have any further obligation or liability under this Agreement other than pursuant to Clause 15.8, except that Lessor will refund to Lessee the amount of any Security Deposit and any other amounts paid by or on behalf of Lessee under this Agreement; and (b) POST-DELIVERY: If an Event of Loss occurs after delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee, Lessee will pay the Agreed Value to Lessor on or prior to the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days after the Event of Loss; and (ii) the date of receipt of the 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 are then due and owing to Lessor under this Agreement, Lessor will without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of Lessor Liens) procure that Owner shall transfer to Lessee all right, title and interest in and to the Aircraft, all on an as is, where is, basis, and will at Lessee's expense, 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 Owner's rights in the Aircraft in Lessee, free and clear of (x) all rights of Owner and Lessor and (y) all Lessor Liens. The receipt by Lessor of the insurance proceeds in respect of the Event of Loss on or prior to the date required pursuant to this Clause 11.1(b) shall discharge Lessee from its obligation to pay the Agreed Value to Lessor, provided such proceeds are not less than the Agreed Value and are available to Lessor to be applied to pay such Agreed Value and any excess of insurance proceeds (and any other amounts if any, paid to Lessor by or on behalf of Lessee) over and above the Agreed 91
Value, less any other amounts due and owing on the date of payment of the Agreed Value by Lessee to Lessor hereunder, shall be promptly refunded to Lessee or as otherwise required by law. If the insurance proceeds are paid initially to Lessee and not to Lessor, they may be retained by Lessee if Lessee shall have paid the Agreed Value and all other amounts then due and owing to Lessor, otherwise Lessee shall pay the Agreed Value to Lessor immediately upon the receipt by Lessee of such proceeds. If Lessee pays the Agreed Value and all other amounts due and owing to Lessor in accordance with this Clause 11.1(b), Lessor shall promptly assign (and shall procure that Owner assigns) to Lessee its rights under the Insurances to receive the insurance proceeds in respect of the Event of Loss (to the extent that such proceeds shall not have been paid to Lessee). Additionally, but without duplication, upon receipt by Lessor of the Agreed Value and any other amounts then due and owing by Lessee hereunder following an Event of Loss, Lessor shall pay or cause to be paid to Lessee amounts equal to any amounts held by Lessor or to its order as Supplemental Rent less any portion thereof theretofore applied or paid by Lessor to Lessee or its order in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. 11.2 REQUISITION: During any requisition for use or hire of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part which does not constitute an Event of Loss: (a) the Rent and other charges payable under this Agreement will not be suspended or abated either in whole or in part, and Lessee will not be released from any of its other obligations under this Agreement (other than operational obligations with which Lessee is unable to comply by virtue of the requisition); and (b) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee will be entitled to any hire or other compensation paid by the requisitioning authority during the Term. Lessee will, as soon as practicable after the end of any such requisition, cause the Aircraft to be put into the condition required by this Agreement. Lessor will be entitled to all compensation payable by the requisitioning authority in respect of any change in the structure, state or condition of the Aircraft arising during the period of requisition, and Lessor will apply such compensation in reimbursing Lessee for the cost of complying with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of any such change; provided, however, if any Default or Event of 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 or the other Transaction Documents and any excess thereof shall be applied as described above. 92
12. RETURN OF AIRCRAFT 12.1 RETURN: On the Final Expiry Date, Lessee will, unless an Event of Loss shall have occurred, at its expense, redeliver the Aircraft and Aircraft Documents to Lessor at the Redelivery Location, in a condition complying with Schedule 3, free and clear of all Security Interests and Permitted Liens (other than Lessor Liens). 12.2 FINAL INSPECTION: Immediately prior to redelivery of the Aircraft, Lessee will make the Aircraft available to Lessor for the Final Inspection, as set forth in Schedule 3. 12.3 NON-COMPLIANCE: (a) If at the time of completion of Final Inspection Lessee has not fully complied with its obligation to redeliver the Aircraft and Aircraft Documents to Lessor in the condition and status required under this Agreement (including Schedule 3 hereto), or Lessee fails to make the Aircraft available to Lessor on a timely basis for inspection and redelivery pursuant to Clause 12.1 and Schedule 3 hereto, the Term may be, upon written notice by Lessor acting in good faith in this regard, extended up to the time when the Aircraft has been redelivered to Lessor in full compliance with this Agreement, for the sole purpose of enabling such non-compliance or failure to be promptly rectified, and during such extension period: (i) Lessee shall not use the Aircraft in flight operations except those related directly to the redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor; (ii) all Lessee's obligations and covenants under this Agreement will remain in full force until Lessee so redelivers the Aircraft (iii) (A) if such extension is due to any act or omission of Lessor or any Person claiming through Lessor, Lessee shall not be obligated to pay Rent during such extension period and Lessor shall promptly after receipt of an invoice, reimburse Lessee for any and all out-of-pocket expenses incurred for the maintenance of Insurances, maintenance, storage, testing, inspection, repair and parking of the Aircraft to the extent such expenses are attributable to any such act or omission of Lessor, or 93
(B) otherwise, Lessee shall pay Rent to Lessor during such extension period at a rate per month equal to the amount of Rent payable in respect of the last scheduled Rental Period at a rate per month equal to the Rent payable in respect of the last scheduled Rental Period plus, after the first ten (10) days of such extension period, thirty-five percent (35%) prorated for actual time elapsed. (b) Unless otherwise agreed by Lessee and Lessor any extension of the Term under this Clause 12.3 (other than an extension arising as a result of an act or omission of Lessor, Owner or Beneficiary) shall not prejudice Lessor's right to treat such non-compliance or failure as an Event of Default at any time, and to enforce such rights and remedies as may be available to Lessor in respect thereof under the terms of this Agreement or applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessee's Rent obligation under Clause 12.3(a)(iii) above shall be without prejudice to (but without duplication of) Lessor's rights under Clause 13; and (c) Lessor may elect (either on first tender of the Aircraft by Lessee or at any time during the said extension period) to accept redelivery of the Aircraft notwithstanding non-compliance with Clause 12.1 or Schedule 3, in which case Lessee will indemnify Lessor on an After-Tax Basis, and provide cash to Lessor (in an amount satisfactory to Lessor acting reasonably) as security for that indemnity in respect of the actual cost to Lessor of putting the Aircraft into the condition required by this Agreement based upon reasonable prevailing market labor rates and costs of materials. 12.4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: Provided Lessee has complied with its obligations under this Clause 12 (including Schedule 3), upon redelivery of the Aircraft by Lessee to Lessor at the Redelivery Location, Lessor will deliver to Lessee an acknowledgement confirming that Lessee has redelivered the Aircraft to Lessor in accordance with this Clause 12 (including Schedule 3). 12.5 REDELIVERY MAINTENANCE ADJUSTMENT: On the Final Expiry Date, Lessee shall make maintenance adjustment payments to Lessor on an After-Tax Basis in accordance with Part 3 of Schedule 3 hereto. 12.6 EXPORT DOCUMENTS: Upon redelivery Lessee shall provide to Lessor all documents necessary to export the Aircraft from the Habitual Base (including, without limitation, a valid and subsisting export license for the Aircraft if required by the relevant Governmental Authorities of the Habitual Base) and required in relation to the deregistration of the Aircraft with the Air Authority. 94
12.7 MAINTENANCE PROGRAM Prior to the Final Expiry Date and upon Lessor's request, Lessee shall provide Lessor or its agent reasonable access to the Aircraft Documents (including without limitation all completed maintenance records) and the Approved Maintenance Program as updated and maintained by Lessee up to the date of redelivery in order to facilitate the Aircraft's integration into any subsequent operator's fleet including a cross-reference of Lessee's Approved Maintenance Program items including task-cards to the MRB (Maintenance Review Board) or Manufacturer's Maintenance Planning Document items, as appropriate. 12.8 FUEL: Upon redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor, an adjustment shall be made in favor of Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, in respect of fuel on board on the Delivery Date and the Final Expiry Date at the lower of the price then prevailing or then available at the Redelivery Location. 13. DEFAULT 13.1 EVENTS: Each of the following events will constitute an Event of Default (whether the occurrence of any such events is voluntary or involuntary or occurs by operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any Government Entity): (a) NONPAYMENT: Lessee fails to make any payment of Security Deposit, Rent, Supplemental Rent or Agreed Value or any payment pursuant to Clause 12.5 within three (3) Business Days following the due date or, in the case of other sums payable to Lessor or any other Indemnitee, within ten (10) Business Days following the date of receipt of demand therefor or the date otherwise due in accordance with this Agreement; (b) INSURANCE: Lessee fails to comply with any provision of Clause 9 or any insurance required to be maintained under this Agreement is cancelled or terminated or notice of cancellation is given in respect of any such insurance and no substitute insurance meeting the requirements of Clause 9 and Schedule 4 of this Agreement has been procured; (c) BREACH: Lessee fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement that is not otherwise addressed in this Clause 13.1 and, if such failure is capable of remedy, the failure continues for 30 days after receipt by Lessee of notice from Lessor to Lessee; (d) REPRESENTATION: any representation or warranty made (or deemed to be repeated) by Lessee in or pursuant to this Agreement is or proves to have 95

the terms of this Agreement, an amount equal to the aggregate basic rental payments to become due under such re-lease for the period coinciding with the remainder of the Term (determined without reference to any right of Lessor to cancel the leasing of the Aircraft, whether or not such right is exercised), discounted periodically (equal to installment frequency) to present worth at the Discount Rate to the Reference Date; or (b) in the event that Lessor elects to retain the Aircraft or has sold the Aircraft or has re-let the Aircraft on terms (other than rental payment terms) which, taken as a whole, Lessor does not reasonably regard as being substantially similar to the terms of this Agreement, an amount equal to the fair market rental value (determined pursuant to the Appraisal Procedure) of the Aircraft for the period commencing with the date that Lessor reasonably anticipates that the Aircraft could be re-let at such rental rate and ending with the date that the Term was scheduled to expire (determined without reference to any right of Lessor to cancel the leasing of the Aircraft, whether or not such right is exercised), discounted periodically (equal to installment frequency) to present worth at the Discount Rate to the Reference Date; provided that, if Lessor is unable after reasonable effort to dispose of the Aircraft or if circumstances reasonably indicate that such effort will not be availing, the Mitigated Rent Amount shall be determined pursuant to clause (ii) above without subtracting any amounts pursuant to this clause (b); (iii) all costs, expenses and other incidental damages incurred by Lessor in exercising its remedies hereunder or otherwise incurred by Lessor as a result of an Event of Default, including repossession costs, legal fees, Aircraft storage, preservation, shipment, repair, refurbishment, modification, maintenance and insurance costs, Aircraft re-lease or sale costs (including any costs incurred prepare the Aircraft for sale or lease, advertising costs, sale or lease costs (including commissions), in any way relating to the Aircraft or any Part, including to put the Aircraft in the condition required in Clause 12 and Schedule 3, or in the Redelivery Location, all such costs and incidental damages being referred to herein collectively as "Enforcement and Remarketing Costs"; (iv) without duplication, any loss, cost, expense or damage to Lessor's residual interest in the Aircraft, incurred by Lessor due to Lessee's failure to maintain the Aircraft in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or Lessee's failure to redeliver the Aircraft in the 101
condition required by this Agreement, if any, including any consequential loss of revenue or profits, all such amounts being referred to herein collectively as "Aircraft Condition Damages"; and (v) without duplication, any premium, penalty or incremental expense which may be incurred as a result of such Event of Default in repaying funds received by Lessor to finance the Aircraft or in unwinding any financial instrument relating in whole or in part to Lessor's financing of the Aircraft, all such amounts being herein referred to collectively as "Unwind Expenses"; provided, however, that if the measure of damages provided in clauses (i)-(v) above is inadequate to place Lessor in the same economic position, on an After-Tax Basis, as Lessor would have been in if Lessee had timely performed each of its obligations under this Agreement, then Lessor shall be entitled to recover as damages such additional amount, giving due credit for payments or proceeds of dispositions of the Aircraft, as is necessary to place Lessor in such economic position; and/or (d) either: (i) enter upon the premises where all or any part of the Aircraft and/or any Engine is located and take immediate possession of and, at Lessor's sole option, remove the same, all without liability accruing to Lessor for or by reason of such entry or taking of possession whether for the restoration of damage to property, conversion or otherwise, caused by such entry or taking, except damages caused by Lessor's gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (ii) by delivering notice to Lessee, require Lessee to redeliver the Aircraft and/or any Engine to Lessor at the Redelivery Location on the date specified in such notice and in all respects in the condition required by this Agreement upon the return pursuant to Clause 12 (it being understood that Lessee shall not delay any such return for the purpose of placing the Aircraft and/or any Engine in such condition, but shall nevertheless be liable to Lessor for the failure of the Aircraft and/or any Engine to be in such condition); and/or (e) sell at private or public sale, as Lessor may determine, or hold, use, operate or lease to others the Aircraft and/or any Engine as Lessor in its sole discretion may determine, all free and clear of any rights of Lessee as if this Agreement had not been entered into, it being agreed that Lessor shall have no obligation or duty to sell the Aircraft and/or any Engine and Lessor shall be obligated to attempt to re-lease the Aircraft only to the 102
extent, if any, that it is required to do so under Article 2A of the UCC; and/or (f) by written notice to Lessee specifying a payment date (which shall be a date not earlier than five (5) Business Days following the date of such notice), Lessor may demand that Lessee pay to Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the payment date specified in such notice (in lieu of the Rent due for the period commencing after the date specified for payment in such notice) the sum of the following amounts: (i) all Rent and other amounts which are, or will become, due and payable under this Agreement prior to the Reference Date (references therein to clause (c) being deemed references to this clause (f)); (ii) an amount equal to the Mitigated Rent Amount; and (iii) an amount equal to Lessor's reasonably anticipated Enforcement and Remarketing Costs, Unwind Expenses and Aircraft Condition Damages; provided, however, that if the measure of damages provided in clauses (i)-(ii) above is inadequate to place Lessor in the same economic position, on an After-Tax Basis, as Lessor would have been in if Lessee had timely performed each of its obligations under this Agreement, then Lessor shall be entitled to recover as damages such additional amount, giving due credit for payments or proceeds of dispositions of the Aircraft, as is necessary to place Lessor in such economic position; it being understood that (subject to any final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), to the extent that any of the foregoing amounts in clause (iii) above represents an estimate by Lessor of losses, damages, costs or expenses which Lessor reasonably anticipates to incur, (x) Lessor shall adjust (upward or downward, as the case may be) the amount thereof as needed to reflect the actual amount of such losses, damages, costs or expenses incurred by Lessor when substantially all of such amounts become known to Lessor, but Lessee shall remain obligated to pay the amount demanded by Lessor in accordance with clause (iii) above (subject to such subsequent adjustment) and (y) notwithstanding the amount specified in such demand, Lessor shall be entitled to claim such other (and greater) amount as described in subclause (x) in any action against Lessee hereunder; and/or (g) draw upon the Security Deposit and apply such amounts to any amounts owing to Lessor hereunder, 103
In addition to the foregoing, Lessor shall be entitled to exercise such other rights and remedies as may be available under applicable law and Lessee shall be liable on an After-Tax Basis for, and shall pay Lessor on demand interest on all unpaid amounts at the Interest Rate, from the due date until the date of payment in full. Lessee hereby agrees that, in the event of the return to or repossession by Lessor of the Aircraft and/or any Engine or any Part, any rights in any warranty (express or implied) previously assigned to Lessee or otherwise held by Lessee shall without further act, notice or writing be assigned or reassigned to Lessor, if assignable, subject to the terms hereof. No remedy referred to in this Clause 13 is intended to be exclusive, but, to the extent permissible under this Agreement 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; provided, however, that nothing in this Clause 13 shall be construed to permit Lessor to obtain a duplicate recovery of any element of damages to which Lessor is entitled or to obtain damages in excess of those permitted by law. No express or 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. 13.3 POWER OF ATTORNEY: Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as the attorney-in-fact of Lessee, with full authority in the place and stead of Lessee and in the name of Lessee or otherwise, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and taking any action and executing any instrument that Lessor may, acting reasonably, deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof (including, but not limited to, the return of the Aircraft and, upon termination or cancellation of this Agreement, the removal of this Agreement from public records); provided, however, that Lessor may only take action or execute instruments under this Clause 13 after an Event of Default has occurred and while it is continuing. Lessee hereby declares that the foregoing powers are granted for valuable consideration, constitute powers granted as security for the performance of the obligations of Lessee hereunder and are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other rights of Lessor under this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lessor shall have the sole and exclusive right and power to (i) settle, compromise, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to or pertaining to the Engine, any Part or this Agreement (other than suits between the parties hereto) and (ii) make proof of loss, appear in and prosecute any action arising from any policy or policies of insurance maintained pursuant to this Agreement, and settle, adjust or 104
compromise any claims for loss, damage or destruction under, or take any other action in respect of, any such policy or policies, but, in no event, may settle any matter by means of an admission of liability on the part of Lessee unless required by law to do so. 14. ASSIGNMENT 14.1 ASSIGNMENT BY LESSEE: LESSEE WILL NOT ASSIGN, DELEGATE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER (VOLUNTARILY, INVOLUNTARILY, BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE) ANY OF ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEPT IN CONNECTION WITH A TRANSACTION PERMITTED BY CLAUSE 8.8(C), OR CREATE OR PERMIT TO EXIST ANY SECURITY INTEREST (OTHER THAN PERMITTED LIENS) OVER ANY OF ITS RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY ATTEMPT TO DO SO SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. 14.2 ASSIGNMENT BY LESSOR: (a) Lessor or Owner may sell, assign or transfer all or any of their respective rights under this Agreement and in the Aircraft (a "Transfer") subject to compliance with the following conditions: (i) the proposed purchaser, assignee or transferee (the "Transferee") shall confirm, in favor of Lessee and Guarantor, in writing its undertaking to perform the obligations of Lessor under this Agreement and other Transaction Documents (including without limitation, all obligations in respect of any Security Deposit, proceeds of insurance and/or Supplemental Rent), to the extent the same arise on or after the effective date of Transfer and confirm Lessor's covenant of quiet enjoyment which confirmations shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lessee, whereupon Lessor or Owner, as the case may be, will be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the Participation Agreement; (ii) the Transfer will not increase Lessee's and Guarantor's indemnity or other obligations (including with respect to withholding taxes) under this Agreement or the Guaranty, as applicable or diminish Lessee's rights under this Agreement (to be determined in each case at the time of such Transfer by applying all applicable laws as are in effect on the effective date of the Transfer or which have been enacted on or prior to such effective date but scheduled to come into effect thereafter); and (iii) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor shall be responsible for and pay (on or promptly after the time of 105
such Transfer) Lessee's and Guarantor's legal and other costs incurred in respect of such Transfer; (iv) the Transferee shall not be in bankruptcy or similar proceedings at the time of the transfer; (v) no Transferee shall be an air carrier or Affiliate (other than a financial institution or credit company) of an air carrier in competition with Lessee and operating similar aircraft; and (vi) the Transferee shall confirm in writing its agreement to keep the trust structure, or another tax structure not materially adversely affecting the tax position of this Lessee, in place. (b) Notwithstanding any such Transfer, Lessor, Owner and Beneficiary will remain entitled to the benefit of each indemnity under this Agreement to the extent that any claim thereunder relates to any period prior to the effective date of such Transfer, and shall remain entitled to the benefit of the liability insurances effected pursuant to this Agreement for a period of two years following the effective date of such Transfer. (c) Upon and subject to compliance by Lessor and any Transferee with the terms and conditions of Clause 14.2(a), Lessee shall execute and deliver in connection with such Transfer such documents and assurances (including a consent to the Transfer) and take such further action at Lessor's cost (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) as Lessor may reasonably request to establish or protect the rights and remedies created or intended to be created in favor of Transferee in connection with such Transfer. 14.3 GRANTS OF SECURITY INTERESTS: Lessor or Owner shall be entitled at any time after the Delivery Date to grant a Security Interest in the Aircraft or its right, title and interest in this Agreement (each, an "Additional Mortgage") in favor of any Financing Party (each, an "Additional Mortgagee") provided the same shall not result in an increase of Lessee's obligations or liabilities hereunder on the date of such transaction nor restrict Lessee's rights in respect of this Agreement or the Aircraft. In the case of any such grant by Lessor or Owner of an Additional Mortgage to an Additional Mortgagee in all or any portion of Lessor's or Owner's rights, title and interest in and to the Aircraft and this Agreement, subject to this Clause 14.3 and to Lessee receiving a letter of quiet enjoyment substantially similar to Part 4 of Schedule 5 (and including the additional paragraphs set forth in Part 5 of Schedule 5 if the Additional Mortgage includes an Assignment (or such substantially similar wording as Lessor and Lessee may agree)) from such Additional Mortgage and notice of assignment in a form reasonably acceptable to Lessee, Lessee shall 106
promptly, at the specific written request of Lessor, as the case may be, and with Lessor or Owner, as the case may be, paying all of Lessee's out-of-pocket costs and expenses execute an acknowledgement of assignment in such form as Lessor or Owner, as the case may be, may reasonably request. 15.

such manner as Lessor, acting reasonably, may determine and, upon written request, notify Lessee of such application. 15.6 SEVERABILITY: If a provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that will not affect: (a) the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of this Agreement; or (b) the legality, validity or enforceability in any other jurisdiction of that or any other provision of this Agreement. 15.7 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 noncompliance 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. 15.8 EXPENSES: (a) Each of Lessor and Lessee will pay its own expenses (including legal, professional, and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred or payable in connection with the negotiation, preparation, and execution of this Agreement; (b) Without duplication of any other amounts payable by Lessee hereunder, Lessee will pay to Lessor promptly following demand all reasonable expenses (including legal, professional, and out-of-pocket expenses) related to any amendment to or extension of any other documentation in connection with, or the granting of any waiver or consent under, this Agreement which has been requested by Lessee; (c) Lessor will pay to Lessee promptly following demand all reasonable expenses (including legal, professional, and out-of-pocket expenses) related to any amendment to or extension of any other documentation in connection with, or the granting of any waiver or consent under, this Agreement which has been requested by Lessor unless the same arises out of, or is connected with, the occurrence of an Event of Default; (d) Without duplication of any other amounts payable by Lessee hereunder, Lessee will pay to Lessor promptly following demand all reasonable expenses (including legal and other costs) payable or incurred by Lessor in 108

The formula for the calculation of the Price Escalation Adjustment is set out in Schedule 7. 155
PRICE ESCALATION ADJUSTMENTS The Escalation Adjustment for the Aircraft will be determined by the following formula: P(a) = P x ((L + M)/1.3665* - 1) where: P(a) = Purchase Price Adjustment (includes the Engine price) L = 0.65 x ECI/130.1 M = 0.35 x ICI/123.6 P = Aircraft Base Purchase Price in July, 2004 Dollars ECI is a value determined using the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics "Employment Cost Index for workers in aerospace manufacturing" (ECI code 3721), calculated by establishing a three-month arithmetic average value (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) using the values for the fifth, sixth and seventh months prior to the month of the Scheduled Delivery Date of the applicable Aircraft. As the Employment Cost Index values are only released on a quarterly basis, the value released for the month of March will be used for the months of January and February; the value for June used for April and May; the value for September used for July and August; and the value for December used for October and November. ICI is a value determined using the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics "Producer Prices and Price Index - Industrial Commodities Index", calculated as a 3-month arithmetic average of the released monthly values (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) using the values for the 5th, 6th and 7th months prior to the month of the Scheduled Delivery Date of the applicable Aircraft. In determining the values of L and M, all calculations and resulting values will be expressed as a decimal rounded to the nearest ten-thousand, where rounding of the fourth digit will be increased to the next higher digit when the 5th digit is equal to 5 or more. The values released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and available 30 days prior to the month of the Scheduled Delivery Date for each Aircraft will be used to determine the ECI and ICI values for the applicable months (including those noted as preliminary by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) to calculate the Escalation Adjustment at the time of Delivery. The values will be considered final and no further adjustments will be made after Aircraft Delivery for any subsequent changes, revisions or corrections to published Index values. - ---------- *This is the July 2004 Adjustment Factor assuming escalation from a July 1995 base. 156

In addition to the price for the Services, Copa shall pay to GE, upon demand, any taxes (including without limitation, sales, use, ad valorem, excise, turnover or value added taxes), duties, fees, charges, imposts, tariffs, or assessments of any nature (but excluding income taxes) ("Taxes"), assessed or levied in connection with GE's performance under this Agreement. 14.2 Right To Protest/Refund. If claim is made against GE for any such Taxes, GE shall immediately notify Copa and, if requested by Copa, GE shall not pay except under protest, and if payment be made, GE shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof. If all or any part of any such Taxes be refunded, GE shall repay to Copa such part thereof as Copa shall have paid. Copa shall pay to GE, upon demand, all expenses (including penalties, interest and attorney's fees) incurred by GE in protesting payment and in endeavoring to obtain such refund at Copa's request. ARTICLE 15 - DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION 15.1 Resolution by Senior Management. If a dispute arises relating to this Agreement and related damages, if any, (the "Dispute") either party shall give written notice to the other party requesting that senior management attempt to resolve the Dispute. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, the receiving party shall submit a written response. The notice and the response shall include a statement of the applicable party's position and a summary of reasons supporting that position. The parties shall cause senior management to meet within thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice, at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Dispute. 15.2 Arbitration. If the parties' senior management do not resolve the Dispute by means of the process described above within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after delivery of the disputing party's notice, then either party may request that the Dispute be settled and finally determined by binding arbitration in New York, New York, USA, or any other location the parties may agree, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (then in effect) ("AAA"). 15.3 Arbitration Procedure. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator chosen by agreement of the parties. In the event that they are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) calendar days of the demand for arbitration, the parties may request the AAA to appoint the neutral arbitrator. The arbitrator may hold pre-hearing conferences or adopt other procedures. The Agreement shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflict of law provisions, rules or procedures (except to the extent that the validity, perfection, or creation of any lien or security interest hereunder and the exercise of rights or remedies with respect of such lien or security interest for a particular item of equipment are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than New York). Reasonable examination of opposing witnesses in oral hearing will be permitted. Each party will bear its own cost of presenting or defending its position in the arbitration. The award of the arbitrator shall be final, binding and non-appealable and judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction 20
thereof. If a party is found to be in default hereunder, the non-defaulting party's reasonably incurred costs associated with the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be paid by the defaulting party. 15.4 **Material Redacted** 15.5 Exception. Either party may at any time, without inconsistency with this Article 15, seek from a court of competent jurisdiction any equitable, interim, or provisional relief to avoid irreparable harm or injury. This Article 15 shall not be construed to modify or displace the ability of the parties to effectuate any termination contemplated in Article 16 below. ARTICLE 16 - TERMINATION 16.1 Failure to Pay/Insolvency. Either party may, at its option, immediately cancel all or any portion of this Agreement if the other party: (A) fails to make any of the required payments or credits when due, unless cured within ten (10) calendar days of such payment due date; (B) makes any agreement with creditors due to its inability to make timely payments of its debts; (C) enters into bankruptcy or liquidation whether involuntary or voluntary (provided, in the event of an involuntary proceeding, the same shall not have been dismissed within 60 days); (D) becomes insolvent; or (E) becomes subject to the appointment of a receiver of the whole or material part of its assets.

Such information shall not be reproduced, used or disclosed to others by receiving party without the disclosing party's prior written consent, except to the extent required by government agencies and courts for official purposes. Disclosure to such government agencies and courts shall be made only (A) upon thirty (30) calendar days advance written notice by the receiving party to the other party of such disclosure, so as to provide that other party the ability to obtain appropriate protective orders, and (B) with a suitable restrictive legend limiting further disclosure. 17.2 Exceptions. The preceding Paragraph 17.1 shall not apply to information which (A) is or becomes part of the general public knowledge or literature otherwise than as a result of breach of the receiving party's obligations hereunder, or (B) was, as shown by written records, known to the receiving party prior to receipt from other party, or (C) is disclosed without restriction to the receiving party by a third party having the right to do so. 17.3 Trademarks.

In the event of any such substitution, Copa shall be so advised in writing. 19.2 Governing Law, Waiver of Immunity. The Agreement shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflicts or choice of law provisions, rules or procedures. To the extent that Copa or any of its property becomes entitled at any time to any immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit, or proceeding of any nature, Copa hereby irrevocably waives the application of such immunity and particularly, the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, 28 U.S.C. 1602, et. seq. insofar as such immunity relates to Copa's rights 22
and obligations in connection with this Agreement. 19.3 Savings Clause.

CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT Exhibit 10.32 FUEL SUPPLY AGREEMENT Between the undersigned: COMPANIA PANAMENA DE AVIACION, S.A, a company duly organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama, incorporated in the Public Registry, File 12086, Film 515, Image 111 of the Mercantile Microfilm Section, represented by VICTOR VIAL, as Financial Vice President, granted with full capacity and power, hereinafter COPA AIRLINES, and PETROLEOS DELTA, S.A, a company duly organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama, incorporated in the Public Registry, File 11524, Film 115657, Image 0002 of the Mercantile Microfilm Section, with RUC N(degree) 11524-0002-115657, represented by FERNANDO ROMERO LABARCES, as Legal Agent, granted with full capacity and power, agree to execute this Fuel Supply Agreement, subject to the following: I. PURPOSE OF THE AGREEMENT Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, PETROLEOS DELTA will deliver aviation fuel to the COPA AIRLINES' aircraft in the Tocumen International Airport (PTY) in Panama. COPA AIRLINES, in return, will receive and pay for the supplied fuel, which will be used for the consumption of COPA AIRLINES' aircraft and/or equipment under its service. II. SALES VOLUME This Agreement has been prepared assuming an (estimated) volume of 30,000,000 gallons of Jet Fuel per year, according to the invitation letter sent by COPA AIRLINES' Fuel & Risk Management office on April 9th 2005. II. PRICE The sales price of Jet Fuel in the wing of the Aircraft in Tocumen International Airport, at room temperature, will be equal to the average of the USGC as defined below, plus a fixed differential per gallon (which includes the transport cost, plus gross margin), plus the charges to be paid to the Civil Aviation (as airport tax) and to Ogden Aviation Services (as into plane). According to the previous formula, the effective price as of June 9, 2005 will be: Average of the USGC (previous two weeks) 1.5787 Margin and Delta management including transport **Material Redacted** Airport Tax **Material Redacted** Ogden Aviation Services charge **Material Redacted** TOTAL **MATERIAL REDACTED** --------------------- The USGC Average is the average of the postings published in the "US Gulf Coast waterborne Mean" for the Kero 54 Jet according to Platt's Oligram Price Report. For calculation purposes, Platt's publications during the previous 14 days will be used. This
2 average will be in force during the following 14 days and so forth thereinafter. For calculation purposes, non business days will be calculated based on the previous day posting since postings only occur on business days (Monday through Friday). As an example, the average of the USGC for Wednesday May 25 to Tuesday June 7 2005, was B/.1.5787 and entered into force on Thursday June 9 until Wednesday June 22, 2005. The total price will vary according to variations in the price of USGC (which will happen every 14 days), as well as Civil Aviation and the Operating Company charges, keeping PETROLEOS DELTA the gross margin per gallon. This price may also increase or decrease should there be an increase or decrease in any tax, charge of Civil Aviation, charge of the Operating Company, charge or expense of any other nature, duty, fee or right that may affect the cost of the product that we are quoting. III. DELIVERIES The fuel supplied by PETROLEOS DELTA to COPA AIRLINES in virtue of this agreement will be delivered in the aircraft's wing in Tocumen International Airport of the City of Panama, in the usual and regular areas that COPA AIRLINES uses for refueling. The risk and property of the fuel supplied in virtue of this agreement will be assumed by COPA AIRLINES as the supplied fuel passes through the joint that connects to the entrance of the receptive airplane. The deliveries will be adjusted to the scheduled flight times of COPA AIRLINES airplanes, that are known by PETROLEOS DELTA and the Fuel System Operator, hereinafter OGDEN, which may vary from time to time, with previous written notice, according to COPA AIRLINES operational needs. IV. INVOICING Petroleos Delta, S.A. shall invoice COPA AIRLINES weekly for all Jet Fuel consumed by COPA AIRLINES. Invoices shall cover Friday to Thursday periods of every week, except for the beginnings and endings of every month, in which case the week will start or end according to the date on which the month starts or ends. PETROLEOS DELTA shall invoice COPA AIRLINES on a weekly basis (every Monday), the amount corresponding to the previous week consumption, except for holidays, in which case the invoice will be presented on the next immediate business day. V. PAYMENT CONDITIONS **Material Redacted** **Material Redacted** **Material Redacted** Payments for fuel shall be made to Petroleos Delta, S.A. by a check drawn against a local bank, expressed in dollars (legal US currency).
3 VI. QUALITY VI. 1- The specifications corresponding to fuel supplied in virtue of this agreement are set hereunder: Fuel for Turbo A-1 type reactors without antistatic additive complying with ASTM D-1655 (last edition) Quality Requirements. VI. 2- COPA AIRLINES will, from time to time, be permitted to take samples of the fuel before it is supplied into the aircraft, and make basic tests such as water content or impurities. The gathering of these sample shall be properly coordinated so that a PETROLEOS DELTA representative or an OGDEN operator is present, and who shall be duly equipped for water testing, determining the specific weight and temperature of the fuel. In the case that the samples referred to in the previous paragraph differ from the quality requirements cited in item VII.1, the operator will not sell or supply the tested fuel into the airplane and will proceed to supply fuel that complies with said requirements from another lot. Any complaint that COPA AIRLINES may have about fuel quality will be addressed to PETROLEOS DELTA in writing in a period no greater than 30 days after the date of delivery. VII. COMPENSATION AND LIABILITY Parties will be held liable to each other for damages caused by willful misconduct or gross negligence. It is nevertheless understood and agreed that upon no event shall the parties be held liable to each other for indirect or general damages (including but not limited to loss of profit). VIII. FORCE MAJEURE No party shall be liable for damages caused by delay or impossibility to perform, in part or totally, when said delay or failure occurs due to a fortuitous cause, strike, climate, act of terrorism, differences with the workers, forced company closedown, fires, floods, complying with governmental authority's acts or regulations, declared or non-declared war conditions, accidents, Freight Services delays, limitation or impossibility to obtain equipment, supplies, material or raw material or any other cause out of the breaching party's control which is or is not similar to the aforementioned causes. It is hereby understood and agreed that the solution of the strikes and differences with workers, falls within the full discretion of the party facing said strikes or differences. If COPA AIRLINES breaches its obligations, in part or totally, under a force majeure event, COPA AIRLINES will therefore have the right to cancel, notifying the other party, any and/or all flights affected by said Force Majeure event, being exempt of any liability, penalty or damages for said cancellation. Furthermore, COPA AIRLINES' obligations affected by the Force Majeure event shall remain cancelled as long as the Force Majeure event lasts. If PETROLEOS DELTA breaches its obligations under this agreement, in part or totally, under a Force Majeure event, PETROLEOS DELTA shall therefore have the right to cancel or reduce the supply of fuel affected by said Force Majeure, by notifying COPA AIRLINES,
4 without being held liable or being subject to any penalty or damages for said suspension or reduction. Any of the parties shall make reasonable efforts to end the Force Majeure, not being required to compromise the strike, close employees unions or other labor difficulties contrary to its desires and under its entire discretion. It is clear and understood that COPA AIRLINES' halt of its obligations due to Force Majeure does not imply cessation of payment of COPA AIRLINES to PETROLEOS DELTA, of indebted sums which nevertheless need to be paid on the agreed dates. In the case that PETROLEOS DELTA withholds, reduces or suspends deliveries of fuel in regards with this Agreement, based in the present Force Majeure Clause, and as long as the withholding, reduction or suspension of the deliveries continue, COPA AIRLINES shall have the liberty to buy to other suppliers, by its own means, the amount of fuel not delivered as a consequence of the preceding event. IX. DURATION OF THIS AGREEMENT This Agreement is effective as from July 1, 2005, and will continue in full force and effect for a period of twelve (12) months until June 30, 2006 and will be automatically renewed for an additional period of twelve (12) months, if within 30 days prior to the original expiration date, none of the parties indicate to the other its intention to terminate this Agreement. This Agreement can only be cancelled prior to its original termination by mutual consent of the parties and if properly attested. COPA AIRLINES will have the option to renew the present Agreement for an additional twelve (12) months period maintaining the same terms and price conditions, and anytime when there does not exist, for PETROLEOS DELTA, any justifiable cause that shall affect the actual price structure of PETROLEOS DELTA. Any amendment or addition to what has been established in this Agreement shall be in written and with mutual consent of the contracting parties. X. CONFIDENTIALITY Both parties agree to keep this Agreement and all of its parts confidential. XI. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Panama. The parties shall solve any discrepancy or dispute arising from the application or interpretation of this Agreement by direct and friendly negotiations. Shall an agreement not be reached, the parties will be subject to the Justice Tribunals of Panama City, Republic of Panama. For the evidence and proof of what has been agreed upon in this Agreement, it is executed in two identical copies in the city of Panama, Republic of Panama, on July 18, Two Thousand and Five (2005).

CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT Exhibit 10.33 FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED ALLIANCE AGREEMENT This Amended and Restated Alliance Agreement (the "Agreement") is made this ____ day of ______, 2005, by and between CONTINENTAL AIRLINES, INC. (together with its Affiliates, "Continental"), a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A. with its principal office at 1600 Smith Street, Houston, Texas, U.S.A. 77002, and COMPANIA PANAMENA DE AVIACION, S.A. (together with its Affiliates, "COPA"), a corporation of the Republic of Panama, with its principal office at Ave. Justo Arosemena y Calle 39, Apartado 1572, Panama 1, Panama. Continental and COPA are herein referred to as the "Carriers". RECITALS Continental and COPA are each certificated air carriers providing air transportation services with respect to both passengers and cargo in their respective areas of operation. Continental and COPA desire to increase the flow of air passenger traffic on aircraft operated by both carriers and increase the quantity and quality of air service available to the traveling public by entering into and maintaining a cooperative relationship that will include the codesharing of flights, schedule coordination for connectivity, through check-in, special prorate arrangements for both passengers and cargo, frequent flyer program participation, joint marketing programs and other mutually agreed to arrangements. Continental and COPA are each a party to the "Alliance Agreement" made the 22nd day of May, 1998 and each agree to enter into this Agreement as an amended and restated version of the Alliance Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein contained, Continental and COPA hereby agree as follows: A. GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS 1. Antitrust Immunity. (a) During the term of this Agreement, Continental and Compania Panamena de Aviacion, S.A. shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to maintain unconditional exemption and immunization pursuant to 49 U.S.C. Sections 41308 and 41309 and 41309 from the application of all United States antitrust laws, as defined therein, for all transactions and activities contemplated in this Agreement with respect to such Carriers, including, but not limited to, pricing, route planning, yield management, scheduling, commissions, advertising, sales and marketing and all ancillary transactions and activities thereto ("Antitrust Immunity"); provided, however, that if the Carriers use their commercially reasonable efforts to maintain Antitrust
Immunity but Antitrust Immunity is terminated, this Agreement shall not terminate and shall continue to be a valid and binding agreement of the Carriers and enforceable against the Carriers but limited by any applicable law, rule, regulation, ordinance, certificate, governmental permit or license, judgment, injunction, order or decree or a governmental or regulatory authority, agency, commission, court or other entity, domestic or foreign. (b) To the extent that Antitrust Immunity is terminated, a new application for Antitrust Immunity shall be filed by the applicable Carriers with the Department of Transportation (the "DOT") as soon as reasonably and commercially possible after such termination. (c) Subject to Antitrust Immunity and applicable laws and regulations, the Carriers shall coordinate their pricing, route planning, yield management, scheduling, commissions, advertising, sales and marketing and other activities for the mutual benefit of the Carriers. 2. Codesharing Approval. Within 45 days after the commencement date of this Agreement (the "Implementation Date"), Continental and COPA shall apply to the DOT pursuant to Section 212 of the DOT's regulations for authorization to implement the "Shared Code Segments" (the application for "Statements of Authorization"), as defined below. Continental and COPA shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain such authorization. 3. Filings; Other Action. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided the Carriers shall: (i) promptly make any other filings, notices or applications with any Governmental Entity required in connection with the consummation of the transactions and acts contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) promptly seek any necessary consents of, or give any required notices to, third parties with respect to the transactions and acts contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) consult reasonably with the other party in connection with, and keep the other party reasonably informed with respect to, the foregoing; and (iv) use all reasonable effort to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all other actions and do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper or appropriate under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions and acts contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable. B. CODESHARING 1. Schedules to be Operated. (a) To the extent permitted by law, Continental operated Shared Code Segments (as herein defined) will be marketed under not only Continental's "CO" designator code but also under COPA's "CM*" designator code, and COPA operated Shared Code Segments will be marketed under not only COPA's "CM" designator code, but also under Continental's "CO*" designator code. Schedule B.1(a) hereto, which is incorporated herein by this reference, sets forth the flight segments where shared code segments ("Shared Code Segments") will operate during the term of this Agreement. It is the intention of the Carriers that 2
the Shared Code Segments shall be operated with full reciprocity in a non-discriminatory manner towards the non-operating Carrier on gateway routes (i.e., from a non-United States point to another non-United States point or to a United States domestic routes as applicable and on head-to-head and non-overlapping markets). Each Carrier will use its commercially reasonable efforts to commence codeshare operations as soon as regulatory authority to commence such operations has been obtained ; provided that neither Carrier shall have an obligation to place its designator code on flights operated by the other Carrier unless or until such time as the Carrier whose designator code will be used is reasonably satisfied that the manner in which the codeshare service is to be provided is substantially comparable to its own service. Except as expressly set forth herein, no Carrier shall have an obligation to extend Shared Code Segments to other routes or to maintain operations of its aircraft on any routes and no such obligation can be created by any oral statements or representations or course of dealing by a Carrier, but only by an express written agreement. (b) The Carriers shall meet together at least twice per year to discuss the appropriateness of expanding or contracting the Shared Code Segments. Each Carrier shall have the right to propose changes to the Shared Code Segments and such proposal must be duly and timely analyzed and the decision of the other Carrier to reject it must be made on a commercially reasonably basis. 2. Schedule Changes. For flights operating as Shared Code Segments, each Carrier shall operate the schedule published by it on the Implementation Date and either Carrier may change its schedule published by it on the Implementation Date and either Carrier may change its schedule for Shared Code Segments operated by it at its own discretion; provided, however, that if a proposed change in a Carrier's schedule will have a material adverse effect on the other Carrier's connecting opportunities, the Carrier planning to change its schedule shall provide the other Carrier with 60 days' written notice (or notice as far in advance as practical, if 60 days is not practical, but under no circumstances less than 15 days) of the schedule change. The Carriers recognize that in order to provide a high level of customer service, the schedule change process must be synchronized and the Carriers shall endeavor to achieve such synchronization to such extent and as promptly as is reasonably and legally possible. 3. Revenue Sharing, Codeshare Commission and Proration on Shared Code Segments. (a) The revenue from flight itineraries made up of transportation via a flight (a Shared Code Segment or otherwise) operated by one Carrier connecting with a flight (a Shared Code Segment or otherwise) operated by the other Carrier (such flight itineraries are hereinafter referred to as the "Through Flights") shall be allocated between the Carriers in accordance with a special prorate agreement between the Carriers, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Special Prorate Agreement"). The tickets for Through Flights or connecting flights shall be issued such that a separate coupon shall be utilized for each flight segment. From time to time and in good faith, each Carrier shall determine which discount coupons or documents of the other Carrier it shall recognize. 3
(b) The Special Prorate Agreement shall be based primarily on **Material Redacted**. In such selected short-haul markets, the operating Carrier will provide **Material Redacted**. The Special Prorate Agreement will also provide for revenue proration for unpublished fares on mutually agreeable terms. The Special Prorate Agreement shall be modified by mutual agreement of the Carriers, as necessary, so that it is no less favorable to the non-operating Carrier on applicable origin and destination itineraries than the most favorable arrangement offered by the applicable operating Carrier to another non-operating airline for similar origin and destination itineraries. (c) The Carriers agree that for tickets sold by the marketing Carrier on Shared Code Segments, the operating Carrier shall be responsible for booking fees with respect to segments operated by the operating Carrier assessed by any CRS vendors, including CRSs operated by third parties and CRSs providing hosting services to any of the Carriers. The Carriers will request the CRS vendors to directly bill the operating Carrier for such booking fees if feasible. If such direct billing is not feasible, the Carriers shall bill each other monthly and shall provide documentation that is reasonably acceptable to the other Carrier of such fees from each CRS vendor. (d) Gain-Sharing. Subject to Antitrust Immunity, the air traffic revenue gains and cost efficiencies derived from the alliance of the Carriers shall benefit both Carriers. The Carriers shall periodically assess the relative benefits and costs of codesharing and other forms of marketing cooperation. If, after Antitrust Immunity, the gains or costs of the Carrier's coordination of pricing, route planning, yield management, scheduling, commissions, advertising, sales and marketing and other activities directly result in benefits to one Carrier but adversely impact the other, and such adverse impact is not the result of such other Carrier's action, the Carriers shall negotiate immediately in good faith to make adjustments so that both Carriers may fairly benefit from these alliance activities. 4. Issuance of Traffic Documents and Settlement. (a) Passenger's traffic documents for Shared Code Segments may be issued by either Carrier, or third parties with whom the Carriers from time to time have interline traffic agreements, in the same way as for any other flight of the marketing Carrier or the operating Carrier. (b) The acceptance of passengers' traffic documents used in connection with the Shared Code Segments and settlements between the Carriers shall occur through the IATA Clearinghouse in accordance with the procedures set forth in the IATA Multilateral Interline Traffic Agreement-Passenger (the `IATA Interline Agreement), except as specifically set forth in this Section B.4. The settlement amounts shall be determined using the techniques provided in the IATA Revenue Accounting Manual. Each Carrier consents to the use by the other Carrier of sampling techniques in accordance with the IATA Revenue Accounting Manual, Chapter B1, to determine the settlement amounts. COPA's revenue accounting system currently does not have the capacity to handle interline sampling. Should Continental request that COPA install and use interline sampling, Continental shall pay the reasonablecost to upgrade COPA's revenue accounting system to accommodate interline sampling. The Carriers recognize that because of 4
Continental's size and selling strength relative to COPA's it is probable that a disproportionate number of COPA operated Shared Code Segments will be ticketed on Continental's ticket stock or ticketing plate and, therefore, COPA will suffer negative impact to its cash flow from ticket sales. If a disproportionate number of COPA operated Shared Code Segments are ticketed, or are reasonably expected to be ticketed on Continental's ticketed on Continental's ticket stock or ticketing plate, the Carriers will develop a commercially reasonable method to neutralize the negative impact, if any, to COPA's cash flow, including, but not limited to, Continental's providing a cash advance on ticket lifts or a cash deposit to cover the amount of COPA's delayed cash flow resulting from Continental's sales of COPA operated Shared Code Segments. Each Carrier shall remain a member in good standing of the IATA Clearinghouse. If the IATA Clearinghouse ceases to operate, settlement shall be determined by the internal accountants of the Carriers in accordance with procedures to be mutually agreed. (c) Unredeemed Tickets. If either Carrier demonstrates that the revenue distribution associated with unredeemed tickets is detrimental to it, the Carriers will discuss ways to correct the problem and, to the extent that it is commercially reasonable to do so, implement necessary changes. (d) Employee Pass Travel Agreement. During the term of this Agreement, the Carriers will maintain a mutually agreeable employee pass travel agreement which includes benefits for Officers of both Carriers and members of board of directors of Copa Holdings, S.A. substantially similar to the terms of the pass travel agreement in place as of the date hereof. 5. Pricing and Yield Management of Shared Code Segments. (a) Pricing. Each Carrier shall, subject to the following sentences, independently and at it sole discretion, establish and determine the tariffs and fares for flights operated on Shared Code Segments that utilize its designator code (CO or CO* in the case of Continental and CM or CM* in the case of COPA). Subject to retaining Antitrust Immunity and applicable laws and regulations, pricing on the Shared Code Segments shall be established as follows: (i) local fares will be set by the Carrier operating the route if only one Carrier is operating the route and (ii) through fares on all connecting itineraries and local fares on routes operated by both carriers shall be established by mutual agreement. Automatic concurrence shall apply when matching competitive fares. (b) Yield Management. (i) Except to the extent necessary to prevent unauthorized overbooking and subject to applicable laws, each Carrier shall make available for sale by the other Carrier on a non-discriminatory basis all of the available seats in each inventory class for Shared Code Segments and COPA/Continental interline flights subject to reasonable yield management practices; provided, however, that the Carriers may negotiate in good faith to establish reasonable capacity limits on 5
the maximum number of seats that may be sold in a particular fare category on a particular operating flight, and provided that such capacity limits can be implemented in a commercially reasonable manner. The Carriers shall map fares into each other's booking classes ("buckets") in a fully non-discriminatory fashion so that comparable fares are placed in comparable buckets. (ii) Each Carrier shall have access to the other Carrier's inventory through an automated interface, which interface shall be maintained by both Carriers to permit the sale of inventory on the Shared Code Segments. (iii) Subject to the rights of each Carrier to manage the seat inventory that it controls, including seats on the operational flight of another Carrier, each Carrier shall maintain its reservations and yield management systems in good operational condition to permit the other Carrier, when it is the Marketing Carrier, to offer the same functionality to its customers as is enjoyed by the customers of the Operating Carrier, including the ability to make advance seat assignments, issue advance boarding passes and access inventory that is available for sale (in the appropriate inventory class) on the reservations system of the Operating Carrier, but excluding, until technically practical, the ability to review seat maps. Each Carrier will be responsible for its own systems costs for ensuring such functionality. (iv) Unless the Carriers mutually agree, the Carriers shall not have any blocked-space arrangements with each other. 6. Marketing Programs. To the extent permitted by law, the Carriers shall work to develop and implement mutually agreeable joint marketing programs to help promote the codeshare and frequent flyer relationship and to increase revenues from traffic on the Shared Code Segments and the other flights. Where applicable, the Carriers shall include each other as appropriate in each other's marketing programs, such as cross-route tie-in's, third-party tie-in's, contests and affinity programs. The Carriers will, to the extent permitted by law, structure mutually agreeable agency and corporate incentive compensation programs that provide an incentive to customers to increase their aggregate business on the Carriers, while preserving the independent marketing practices of the Carriers, unless (once Antitrust Immunity is obtained) otherwise agreed. Without limiting the foregoing and to the extent permitted by law, each Carrier shall include the other in its travel agent, corporate and related override commission, discounting and sales incentive programs in a non-discriminatory fashion unless the other Carrier declines to participate in any such program. The joint marketing programs shall take into account the following elements: (i) mutual internal incentive program; (ii) overall product compatibility; 6
(iii) ground and in-flight consistency that promotes both carriers; (iv) communication planning for travel agencies and corporate travel departments; (v) targeted Frequent Flyer Program promotions; (vi) performance measurements and reporting; (vii) leisure product development; (viii) communication plans; and (ix) hub development. Details of joint program development and the sharing of the incremental program costs shall be negotiated by the Carriers based on the relative revenue benefit obtained by each of the Carriers with respect to the program on a case-by-case basis. The Carriers shall conduct quarterly joint marketing meetings to discuss implementing or adding possible marketing programs and strategies. 7. Codesharing Licenses. (a) CO* License (i) Grant of License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Continental shall grant to COPA a nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to use the CO* designator code on all of COPA's flights operated as a Shared Code Segment (COPA flights flown using the CO* code are herein referred to as "CO* Flights"). (ii) Control of CO* Flights. COPA shall have sole responsibility for and control over, and Continental shall have no responsibility for, control over or obligations or duties with respect to, each and every aspect of COPA's operations including, without limitation, scheduling (except as provided in Sections B.1 and 2), pricing (except as provided in Section B.5), planning of flight itineraries and routings, reservations, reservations control, yield management (except as provided in Section B.5), dispatch, fueling, weight and balance, flight release, maintenance, and flight operations and compliance with applicable rules and regulations. (b) CM* License (i) Grant of License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this 7
Agreement, COPA shall grant to Continental a nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to use the CM* designator code on all of Continental's flights operated as a Shared Code Segment. (Continental flights flown using the CM* code are herein referred to as "CM* Flights"). (ii) Control of CM* Flights. Continental shall have sole responsibility for and control over, and COPA shall have no responsibility for, control over or obligations or duties with respect to, each and every aspect of Continental's operations including, without limitation, scheduling (except as provided in Sections B.1 and 2), pricing (except as provided in Section B.5), planning of flight itineraries and routings, reservations, reservations control, yield management (except as provided in Section B.5), dispatch, fueling, weight and balance, flight release, maintenance, and flight operations and compliance with applicable rules and regulations. 8.

Any safety audit may include, without limitation, maintenance and operation procedures, crew planning, reservations, passenger and baggage handling, customer service, personnel records, spare parts, inventory records, training records and manuals, and flight, flight personnel records, spare parts, inventory records, training records and manuals, and flight, flight training and operational personnel records. 9. Irregularities in Operations. (a) COPA shall promptly notify Continental of all irregularities involving CO* Flight which result in any damage to persons or property as soon as such information is available and shall furnish to Continental as much detail as practicable. 8
(b) Continental shall promptly notify COPA of all irregularities involving a CM* Flight which result in any damage to persons or property as soon as such information is available and shall furnish to COPA as much detail as practicable. (c) In the event of any irregularity in Shared Code Segments' operations, including without limitation, any event causing damage to persons or property, the Operating Carrier shall identify itself as being operated independently of the Carrier whose code is being used, and as being solely responsible for its operations. Either Carrier may state that it holds a codesharing license from the other Carrier and that it obtains certain services from, or provides certain services to, as the case may be, the other Carrier if third parties inquire as to such relationship. COPA shall designate (and notify Continental of such designation) a contact in each of the cities that COPA operates CO* Flights that is authorized to speak and comment (and has the knowledge or immediate access to the knowledge necessary to do so) on behalf of COPA in relation to its irregular operations and Continental shall designate (and notify COPA of such designation) a contact in each of the cities that Continental operates CM* Flights that is authorized to speak and comment (and has the knowledge or immediate access to the knowledge necessary to do so) on behalf of Continental in relation to its irregular operations. 10. Reporting Obligation. (a) Changes of Service. Each Carrier shall give the other Carrier 60 days advance notice (or notice as far in advance as possible if 60 days is impracticable) of any intended material changes to the manner of conducting its business or operations or the nature of its product that relate to its operation of Shared Code Segments. (b) Correspondence from Governmental Entities. (i) COPA shall immediately provide Continental copies of any formal notice of proposed civil penalty, or other similar document, received from any Governmental Entity which, with respect to CO* Flights, references (i) any alleged noncompliance with rules or regulations affecting air transportation, or (ii) any investigation of COPA performed or proposed by any Governmental Entity, including, without limitation, any communication issued by a government authority concerning the airworthiness of COPA's aircraft, the compliance of COPA's personnel with required operational or training procedures or any other matter relating to the safe operation of COPA aircraft. (ii) Continental shall immediately provide COPA copies of any formal notice of proposed civil penalty, or other similar document, received from any Governmental Entity which, with respect to CM* Flights, references (i) any alleged noncompliance with rules or regulations affecting air transportation, or (ii) any investigation of Continental performed or proposed by any Governmental Entity, including, without limitation, any communication issued by a government authority concerning the airworthiness of Continental's aircraft, the compliance of 9
Continental's personnel with required operational or training procedures or any other matter relating to the safe operation of Continental aircraft. (c) Notice of Complaints. COPA shall monthly furnish Continental a summary of complaints, notices of violation, requests to cease activity or similar correspondence which reasonably relate to CO* Flights and which are received by COPA from Continental ticketed passengers, any Governmental Entity or other parties. Continental shall monthly furnish COPA a summary of complaints, notices of violation, request to cease activity or similar correspondence which reasonably relate to CM* Flights and which are received by Continental from COPA ticketed passengers, any Governmental Entity or other parties. Each Carrier shall comply with the other Carrier's reasonable requests for actual copies of any such documents. (d) Operations. For purposes of monitoring the success of the codeshare operations, the Carriers shall provide each other with mutually agreed to monthly reports containing, without limitation, the following data for Shared Code Segments operated by each Carrier: (i) the total number of scheduled, actual and canceled departures for the month, by flight and city pair; and (ii) completion and on-time performance data, by system and market. 11. Flight Display. (a) All Shared Code Segments shall be included in the schedule, availability and fare displays of all computerized reservations systems in which Continental and COPA participate, the Official Airline Guide (to the extent agreed upon) and Continental's and COPA's internal reservation systems, under the shared code as well as the operator's own code, to the extent possible. Continental and COPA shall take the appropriate measures necessary to ensure the display of the schedules of all Shared Code Segments in accordance with the preceding sentence. (b) Continental and COPA shall disclose and identify the Shared Code Segments to the public as actually being a flight of and operated by the Operating Carrier, in at least the following ways: (i) a symbol shall be used in timetables and computer reservation system indicating that Shared Code Segments are actually operated by the other Carrier; (ii) to the extent reasonable, messages on airport flight information displays shall identify the operator of flights shown as Shared Code Segments; 10
(iii) Continental and COPA advertising concerning Shared Code Segments and Continental and COPA reservationists shall disclose the operator of each flight; and (iv) in any other manner prescribed by law. 12. Terms and Conditions of Carriage and Claims Procedures. (a) In all cases the contract of carriage between a passenger and a Carrier shall be that of the Carrier whose code is designated on the ticket. As for handling passenger claims between the Carriers, the conditions of carriage of the Operating Carrier shall apply to the Shared Code Segments, except as otherwise mutually agreed by the Carriers.

The Carriers shall meet as soon as practical prior to commencement of the Shared Code Segments to identify discrepancies in procedures for claims handling between the Carriers. (b) The Carriers shall use existing IATA procedures when handling and settling claims made by customers in connection with Shared Code Segments. 13. Irregularity Handling. (a) In the event of flight delays, cancellations or other schedule irregularities that affect Shared Code Segments, the Operating Carrier shall inform the Marketing Carrier, if applicable, in accordance with Section B.9, of all pertinent information concerning an irregularity for customer information purposes. (b) The Carriers shall cooperate in all available ways to accommodate passengers experiencing flight irregularities (including, but not limited to, schedule changes, flight cancellations, delayed flights, flight interruptions and delayed, damaged, pilfered or lost baggage) and that neither shall forbear from providing such assistance because the other may have been responsible for the flight irregularity. In the event of a flight irregularity, the Carrier causing or experiencing the irregularity shall bear all related costs (including costs of the other Carrier) associated with accommodating the passengers that has been affected by such flight irregularity. The Carriers shall review existing procedures for handling flight irregularities and accommodating interline passengers with respect thereto and handling over sales situations to determine their adequacy for the purposes of this Agreement and shall make such mutually agreed to adjustments in existing procedures as they find necessary or appropriate to provide coordinated irregularity handling. In the absence of such agreement, the written policies and procedures of the Operating Carrier shall be followed. The Carriers shall meet prior to commencement of the Shared Code Segments to develop a mishap response plan with respect to flights operated as Shared Code Segments. 14. Tariff Filing. Each Carrier shall file the tariffs and fares for flights operated on Shared Code Segments that utilize its designator code (CO or CO* in the case of Continental and CM or CM* in the case of COPA). 11
15. Transportation Taxes. Each Carrier shall be responsible for collecting and paying any taxes or fees assessed by any Governmental Entities or airport on the transportation of passengers or property for transportation utilizing its travel documents. 16. Flight Coupon Handling. (a) Continental Authorization. Except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement, Continental shall authorize COPA to handle Continental flight coupons specifying Continental's Through Flights or connecting flights under this Agreement to and from points in Panama', in the same way as if these coupons were specifying COPA Through Flights or connecting flights between Panama', on the one hand, and (i) other points served by COPA beyond Panama', and (ii) the United States, on the other. Continental shall confirm this authorization immediately to third parties if COPA so requires. (b) COPA Authorization. Except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement, COPA hereby authorizes Continental to handle COPA flight coupons specifying COPA Through Flights or connecting flights under this Agreement to and from points in the United States in the same way as if these coupons were specifying Continental flights between the United States, on the one hand, and (i) other points served by Continental beyond the United States and (ii) Panama', on the other. COPA shall confirm this authorization immediately to third parties if Continental so requires. 17. Quality of Service. (a) Subject to Subsection (d) of this Section , each Carrier shall retain its own identity and determine its own service levels. Each Carrier shall adopt a smoking policy for flights operated by it that it believes is appropriate for its services, it being understood that each of the Carriers intends to continue to ban smoking on flights operated by it. (b) Each Carrier shall perform its service with respect to its flights operated under the designator code of the other Carrier in a timely and professional manner with superior quality in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Without limitation, each Carrier shall maintain its aircraft in an airworthy, clean, attractive and comfortable condition and strive to maintain a completion factor of at least 98% (without considering delays caused by air traffic control or weather). Each Carrier agrees that, in conducting flight operations under the designator of the other Carrier, it shall employ prudent safety and loss prevention policies in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. If either Carrier is in breach of this Section B.17(b), the non-breaching Carrier may remove its designator code from the breaching Carrier's flight operations or refuse to allow the breaching Carrier to place its designator code on the flight operations of the non-breaching Carrier until such time as the breach is fully cured and such removal by the non-breaching Carrier of the designator code from the breaching Carrier's flight operations or refusal to allow the breaching Carrier to place its designator code on the flight operations of the non-breaching Carrier shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or a waiver of its rights under this Agreement by the non-breaching Carrier. 12
(c) To provide customers with the best service and a positive impression of the cooperative services of the alliance between the Carriers, the Carriers shall create, to the extent practicable, the following: (i) Schedule Coordination. The Carriers shall each use all reasonable efforts, consistent with their respective operational constraints, to coordinate their schedules to minimize connecting passenger waiting time and to maximize passenger convenience and service. (ii) Seamless Transfer. Subject to operational constraints, the Carriers shall expedite, to the greatest extent feasible, the transfer of all passengers and baggage making connections between the respective networks of the Carriers, and shall cooperate in communicating efficiently to passengers the benefits and procedures associated with the cooperative service through ticket inserts, terminal and gate signage, and flight information displays. In connection therewith, Continental and COPA shall cooperate to coordinate and maintain their schedules to minimize the waiting time and to maximize convenience of passengers who are connecting from a Continental to a COPA flight segment (or vice versa). Each Carrier shall provide the other with the airport operational assistance that is required to assure schedule compatibility for the Through Flights or the connecting flights where applicable. (iii) Terminal Facilities. Each Carrier shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for terminal facilities at gateway airports to facilitate passenger handling and connections between the flights of the Carriers with the objective of achieving convenience similar to on-line connections. (iv) In-Flight Announcements. The Operating Carrier shall make in-flight announcements to all passengers on the Shared Code Segments to promote the cooperative service. (d) The customer service standards of the Operating Carrier shall be followed on Shared Code Segments for both Continental and COPA passengers; provided that COPA agrees to maintain a standard of service in all classes of service that is at least substantially similar to the quality that Continental provides on its flights of similar stage length. 18. Frequent Flyer Program Participation. Cooperation between the Carriers with respect to frequent flyer program participation is governed by the "Amended and Restated Frequent Flyer Program Participation Agreement", dated as of the date hereof. During the term of this Agreement, Copa will be a participant in Continental's OnePass program on a co-branded basis as contemplated in the Amended and Restated Frequent Flyer Program Participation Agreement or pursuant to a reciprocal frequent flyer program participation arrangement as 13
contemplated in the Amended and Restated Frequent Flyer Program Participation Agreement if COPA ceases to participate in OnePass on a co-branded basis. C JOINT COOPERATION To the extent applicable, the initiatives covered by this Section C are subject to Antitrust Immunity. 1. Procedures and Ground Handling (a) Harmonizing. The Carriers shall harmonize their physical operations with respect to components, operations, quality, appearance, conditions of carriage and any other aspects of the physical operations as the Carriers agree. (b) Joint Handling. Without employee dislocation and subject to competitive pricing and service, COPA will provide below wing handling services for Continental's operations in Panama. Compensation for such service shall be the "Incremental Cost" (as defined in the Amended and Restated Services Agreement entered into by and between the Carriers on the date hereof (the "Services Agreement")), of the handling Carrier plus a reasonable profit. To enhance operations of Shared Code Segments, the Carriers shall make their airport operations contiguous where practical. In locations where both Carriers operate, other than Panama, each Carrier shall give the other Carrier the opportunity to bid on handling services (above and below wing). 2. Reservations and City Ticket Offices. The Carriers shall consider the best way to coordinate their reservations and the functions of the city ticket offices. 3. Joint Advertising and Publicity. The Carriers shall jointly promote their alliance as part of their ordinary advertising efforts. Each Carrier, while an Operating Carrier, shall not discriminate against the Marketing Carrier in its respective advertising, public relations, promotion, distribution and sales activities. 4. Employee and Corporate Incentives. (a) Instruction, measurement, and evaluation. Joint targets shall be established by the Carriers at their annual meeting, as provided under Section B.1.(b). Applicable employees of each Carrier shall be instructed that in applicable areas of interaction, the first aim is to maximize the alliance between the Carriers, not the individual Carrier's position. (b) Inclusion in incentive programs. Employees bonus, profit-sharing and other cash and non-cash route specific sales incentive programs should include Shared Code Segments, revenues, etc. of both Carriers on a non-discriminatory basis. 14
(c) Selection and reciprocal feedback. Employees performing outsourced or joint service shall be selected on a basis that provides no favoritism to either Carrier. Their evaluation (and certain personnel decisions) shall be based on input from both Carriers with ultimate decision-making by their employer after giving high regard to the input of the other Carrier. 5. Information Sharing. Subject to applicable laws and regulations, the Carriers shall share research studies on booking (including marketing information data tape), revenue, traffic, yield, cost and other data with the other Carrier as it pertains to their common areas of cooperation. Such information shall be provided at the providing Carrier's Incremental Cost as provided in the Services Agreement and, where jointly performed, in proportion to the size of the Carriers. 6. Joint Selling. (a) To the extent legally permissible, the Carriers shall sell seats on each other's aircraft in a non-discriminatory fashion and will establish mutually agreed to incentives and methods to do so. The Carriers shall consider establishing joint sales organizations (including inbound and outbound telephone sales) in countries where COPA currently flies and where it may begin to fly during the duration of this Agreement. (b) If a Carrier withdraws its sales personnel from a country where the other Carrier has a significant presence, the Carrier that has a significant presence in such country will offer to serve as the other Carrier's general sales agent ("GSA") in such country in consideration of receiving its Incremental Costs of providing the services of a GSA for the withdrawing Carrier, plus a reasonable profit acceptable to both Carriers. If the withdrawing Carrier chooses, at its option, to employ the other Carrier as its GSA in such country, the other Carrier will represent the withdrawing Carrier in a non-discriminatory manner. D GENERAL PROVISIONS 1. Compliance with Laws and Regulations and Changes in Laws. (a) Each of Continental and COPA represents, warrants, and agrees with the other that performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement shall be conducted and all of its personnel shall at all times meet, be in full compliance with and have all required licenses under any and all applicable laws, statutes, orders, rules and regulations of any country or territory with jurisdiction over the Shared Code Segments, including without limitation, those laws, statutes, orders, rules and regulations promulgated by the United States of America or Panama. Each Carrier shall be responsible, at its own cost, for obtaining any regulatory authorizations necessary to operate its flights or utilize its designator code on the Shared Code Segments, provided that, the other Carriers shall render such assistance as a reasonably requested in order to obtain such regulatory authorizations. No provision of this Agreement that would 15
violate applicable antitrust laws without Antitrust Immunity having first been obtained shall be applicable unless and until Antitrust Immunity is obtained. (b) If, during the term of this Agreement, there is any change in treaties, statutes or regulations of air transportation (and legally binding interpretations thereof) that prevents Continental or COPA of both from operating the CO* or CM* Flights or carrying out the arrangements contemplated by this Agreement or attaches conditions or restrictions on the operation of CO* or CM* Flights that have a material adverse effect on a carrier's other services or operations not contemplated by this Agreement, the Carriers shall consult within 30 days after any of the occurrences described herein. The purpose of such consultations shall be to assess such change or changes and to seek, in good faith, mutual agreement on what changes, if any, to this Agreement are necessary or appropriate. Any such changes to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with Section D.13. 2. Independent Parties. (a) Independent Contractors. It is expressly recognized and agreed that each Carrier, in its performance and otherwise under this agreement, is and shall be engaged and acting as an independent contractor and in its own independent and separate business; that each Carrier shall retain complete and exclusive control over its staff and operations and the conduct of its business; and that each Carrier shall bear and pay all expenses, costs, risks and responsibilities incurred by it in connection with its obligations under this Agreement. Neither Continental nor COPA nor any officer, employee representative, or agent of Continental or COPA shall in any manner, directly or indirectly, expressly or by implication, be deemed to be in, or make any representation of take any action which may give rise to the existence of, any employment, agent, partnership, of other like relationship as regards the other, but each Carrier's relationship as respects the other Carrier in connection with this Agreement is and shall remain that of an independent contractor. (b) Status of Employees. The employees, agents and/or independent contractors of COPA shall be employees, agents, and independent contractors of COPA for all purposes, and under no circumstances shall they be deemed to be employees, agents or independent contractors of Continental. The employees, agents and independent contractors of Continental shall be employees, agents and independent contractors of Continental for all purposes, and under no circumstances shall they be deemed to be employees, agents or independent contractors of COPA. Continental shall have no supervisory power or control over any employees, agents or independent contractors employed by COPA, and COPA shall have no supervisory power or control over any employees, agents and independent contractors employed by Continental. (c) Liability For Employee Costs. Each Carrier, with respect to its own employees (hired directly or through a third party), accepts full and exclusive liability for the payment of worker's compensation and/or employer's liability (including insurance premiums where required by law) and for the payment of all taxes, contributions or other payments for unemployment compensation, vacations, or old age benefits, pensions and all other benefits now or hereafter imposed upon employers with respect to its employees by any government or agency 16
thereof or provided by such Carrier (whether measured by the wages, salaries, compensation or other remuneration paid to such employees or otherwise) and each Carrier further agrees to make such payments and to make and file all reports and returns, and to do everything necessary to comply with the laws imposing such taxes, contributions or other payments. 3. Term and Termination. (a) Term. The term of this Agreement, unless earlier terminated as provided in this Section D.3, shall continue until either Carrier gives the other Carrier three years' written notice of termination: provided, however, that neither Carrier may give such notice on or before May 22, 2012. The terms and conditions of this Amended and Restated Alliance Agreement are effective as of the date first written above. (b) Other Termination Rights. In addition to the termination provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section D.3, this Agreement may be terminated as follows: (i) By a Carrier, if the other Carrier has materially breached any material provision of this Agreement and such breach shall remain unremedied for more than 180 days after delivery of written notice by the non-defaulting Carrier. During such 180-day period, the Carriers shall consult in good faith to ensure that each of the Carriers understands the nature of the alleged breach and what steps are required to effect a cure; (ii) By a Carrier immediately on notice, if the other Carrier (i) shall be dissolved or shall fail to maintain its corporate existence, or (ii) shall have its authority to operate as a scheduled airline suspended or revoked, or shall cease operations as a scheduled airline, in each case for a period of 30 or more days; (iii) In the event of a breach of any payment obligation under this Agreement, the non-breaching Carrier shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement on providing 60 days prior written notice, which notice shall describe, with as much specificity as reasonably practicable, the breach and the total sums due and owing.
