THIS AIRCRAFT OPERATING LEASE AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made on June 6, 2025
Between:
(1)UMB Bank, N.A., a national banking association organised and existing under the laws of the United States of America with its address at ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, not in its individual capacity but solely as owner trustee (Lessor); and
(2)Global Crossing Airlines, Inc., a company duly incorporated under the laws of Delaware whose registered office is at Bldg. ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇’▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (Lessee).
Whereas: Lessor wishes to lease the Aircraft to Lessee and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is willing to lease the Aircraft from Lessor on the terms of this Agreement.
It Is Agreed as follows:
This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Schedule 1 and, unless the context otherwise requires, words and expressions shall have the meanings given to them in Schedule 1.
2Representations And Warranties
Lessee and Lessor make the representations and warranties set out in Schedule 5.
The conditions precedent and conditions subsequent set out in Schedule 4 apply to this Agreement.
Lessor shall lease the Aircraft to Lessee, and Lessee shall take the Aircraft on lease, in accordance with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents for the duration of the Lease Term.
4.2Delivery Date and Expiry Date
4.2.1The Delivery Date will be confirmed in Lease Supplement No. 1.
4.2.2The Expiry Date will be the Scheduled Expiry Date, subject to the following provisions:
(a)if the Aircraft or Airframe suffers a Total Loss after Delivery, the Expiry Date will be the date on which Lessor (or the Relevant Party entitled to receive the Agreed Value) receives the Agreed Value and all other amounts then due under the Transaction Documents have been paid; provided that if any event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing on the Scheduled Expiry Date which with the passage of time would become a Total Loss
under sub-paragraph (c) or (d) of the definition of Total Loss, the Expiry Date
shall be the earlier of the date on which such Total Loss occurs and the date on which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has regained possession of the Aircraft;
(b)if Lessor, acting in accordance with the Transaction Documents, terminates the leasing of the Aircraft to Lessee and recovers possession and control of the Aircraft, the Expiry Date will be the date on which such termination and the recovery of possession and control has occurred (or such earlier date specified by Lessor in writing);
(c)if the Lease Term is terminated pursuant to clause 15.6, the Expiry Date will be the date determined in accordance with the relevant part of clause 15.6; and
(d)if the Lease Term is extended pursuant to clause 21.4.1, the Expiry Date will be the date when the Aircraft has been redelivered to Lessor in full compliance with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
Throughout the Lease Term, the Aircraft and each part thereof will be in every respect at the sole risk of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, who will bear all risk of loss, theft, damage or destruction to the Aircraft and each part thereof from any cause whatsoever.
5.1.1On the date of this Agreement, it is anticipated that Delivery will occur on the Scheduled Delivery Date. From time to time, Lessor will notify Lessee in writing of any change to the date on which Lessor expects Delivery to occur and Lessor shall notify the new Scheduled Delivery Date not less than 3 Business Days prior to such date.
5.1.2Lessor will (subject to satisfaction, or waiver or deferral by Lessor, of the Lessor Conditions Precedent) deliver the Aircraft to Lessee and Lessee will (subject to the satisfaction, waiver or deferral by Lessee of the Lessee Conditions Precedent) accept the Aircraft at the Delivery Location in an “as is, where is” condition and in connection with such delivery and acceptance Lessee will effect acceptance of the Aircraft by execution and delivery to Lessor of Lease Supplement No. 1, which will be conclusive proof that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has examined and investigated the Aircraft, that the Aircraft and the Aircraft Documents are (except as may expressly be set forth otherwise in Lease Supplement No. 1) fully satisfactory to Lessee and that Lessee has absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally accepted the Aircraft for lease under this Agreement.
5.1.3Immediately after Delivery, Lessee shall cause the Post-Delivery Maintenance to be performed on the Airframe. Upon completion of the Post-Delivery Maintenance, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor shall pay an amount up to $250,000 towards the cost of the Post-Delivery Maintenance (the Lessor PDM Contribution), which amount may be paid either to Lessee by way of reimbursement or directly to the Approved Maintenance Performer of the PDM Work Scope, in each case subject to receipt by Lessor within six (6) months from completion of the Post-Delivery Maintenance of (i) supporting documentation, invoices and receipts satisfactory to Lessor evidencing the cost and completion of
the Post-Delivery Maintenance and (ii) if such payment is to be made by way of reimbursement to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, an acknowledgment from the Approved Maintenance Performer of receipt of payment in full for the cost of the Post-Delivery Maintenance and evidence that the Aircraft has been released for service. Lessor shall, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such documentation from ▇▇▇▇▇▇, pay or reimburse the Lessor PDM Contribution to the Approved Maintenance Performer or Lessee, as applicable. Should Lessee fail to make such claim within six (6) months from completion of the Post-Delivery Maintenance (or as otherwise agreed to in writing by Lessor), Lessee shall thereafter be forever barred and estopped from making a claim in respect of the Post-Delivery Maintenance.
5.1.4Following Delivery, and provided no Material Default or Event of Default has occurred that is continuing, Lessor shall provide a Basic Rent credit to the Lessee in an amount up to $75,000 upon completion of the painting of the Aircraft by an approved Maintenance Performer for the Lessee’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with painting the Aircraft (subject to receipt by Lessor of invoices and supporting documentation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Lessor). The Basic Rent credit described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligation to deliver Basic Rent on the Basic Rent Date immediately following ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of the evidence described in the immediately preceding sentence.
5.2.1If any of the following events occurs:
(a)Lessee fails to take delivery of the Aircraft on the date the Aircraft is tendered for delivery to Lessee in accordance with clause 5.1.2 in the Delivery Condition for any reason whatsoever (including as a result of any delay in obtaining any approval, consent or other thing from any Government Entity) and each of the Lessee Conditions Precedent has been satisfied, waived or deferred; or
(b)Lessee fails to cause each of the Lessor Conditions Precedent that are within the reasonable control of Lessee to be satisfied (other than those that have been waived or deferred until after Delivery by Lessor) by the date the Aircraft is tendered for delivery to Lessee in accordance with clause 5.1.2 and each of the Lessee Conditions Precedent has been satisfied, waived or deferred,
then, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of Lessor (including Lessor’s rights and remedies following an Event of Default), (i) the Lease Term shall commence on the date of such event and (ii) the First Basic Rent Date shall occur on the earlier of (x) the date that falls two (2) months after the date of such event and (y) the date on which the Aircraft is released for service at completion of the Post-Delivery Maintenance.
5.2.2▇▇▇▇▇▇ will indemnify each Relevant Party for all Losses incurred as a result of any event described in clause 5.2.1, including costs and expenses relating to storage, insurance and maintenance of the Aircraft.
5.3Termination Prior to Delivery
5.3.1If a Total Loss occurs in respect of the Airframe or the Aircraft prior to Delivery, neither Lessor nor Lessee will have any further obligations to the other party under
this Agreement, except (A) for any obligations which are expressed to survive the termination of the leasing of the Aircraft or of this Agreement and (B) that Lessor
shall promptly pay to Lessee an amount equal to any Security paid to Lessor (less any amounts applied in accordance with this Agreement) without any interest accrued thereon.
5.3.2Lessor shall (acting in good faith) attempt to tender the Aircraft for Delivery to Lessee prior to the Final Delivery Date; provided that, if Delivery is delayed beyond the Final Delivery Date for any reason other than as set out in clause 5.2 or clause 5.3.1, then Lessor will notify Lessee of such delay and Lessor or Lessee may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party; provided that Lessee shall not be entitled to make such election if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time unless such Event of Default is solely due to a breach of this Agreement by the Lessor of its obligations hereunder. Any such termination notice will be irrevocable, and once such notice has been given, neither party will have any further obligations to the other party under this Agreement, except (A) for any obligations which are expressed to survive the termination of the leasing of the Aircraft or of this Agreement and (B) that Lessor shall promptly pay to Lessee an amount equal to any Security paid to Lessor (less any amounts applied in accordance with this Agreement) without any interest accrued thereon.
5.4Consequences of Failed or Delayed Delivery
No Relevant Party shall be liable for any Losses arising from any delay or failure in delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee, except to the extent such delay or failure arises as a result of the gross negligence or wilful default of such Relevant Party. Subject to clause 5.3.2, Lessee will not be entitled to reject the Aircraft when tendered for delivery by Lessor on the grounds of any such delay or failure.
Lessee will at its own risk and expense obtain any and all licences, permits and approvals which may be necessary to export, reexport and/or transport the Aircraft from the Delivery Location. Lessor will, upon the reasonable request of Lessee, provide such data and information available to it for such purposes.
5.6.1Lessee has sole responsibility for satisfying itself that the Aircraft meets the condition required by this Agreement. Prior to the Delivery Date, Lessor shall give Lessee opportunity to inspect the Aircraft as set out in clause 5.6.2 (the Delivery Inspection). All costs related to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s performance or support of the Delivery Inspection will be for ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s account excluding the costs of performing the maximum power assurance runs and performance of the Engine borescope inspections.
5.6.2At least 45 days prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date and continuing until the Technical Acceptance Notification Date, Lessor will make the Aircraft Documents in its possession available for Lessee’s inspection, either at the Delivery Location, electronically or at another location (the Records Inspection). The Records Inspection shall be completed by Lessee within 21 days following receipt by Lessee of the Aircraft Documents in Lessor’s possession (the Initial Records). Prior to Delivery, Lessor will give Lessee an opportunity to physically inspect the Aircraft at the Delivery Location for a period of not more than three (3) days, which shall be
based on commercially reasonable standards and shall include the following (the
Physical Inspection):
(a)a physical inspection of the Aircraft and Parts (including any uninstalled
Parts) to confirm the Aircraft complies with the Delivery Conditions;
(b)a witness of (i) Engine maximum power assurance runs and (ii) a complete video borescope inspection of each Engine in accordance with the AMM, in each case performed by the previous operator (or its representatives) which shall be carried out in accordance with the AMM (including any limits specified therein); and
(c)a review of any flight data available from the relocation flight to the Delivery Location performed by the previous operator.
5.6.3Within three (3) Business Days of the date that Lessee completes the Physical Inspection and the Records Inspection (the Technical Acceptance Notification Date), Lessee will notify Lessor in writing that either (a) it technically accepts the Aircraft (including the Initial Records) or (b) the Delivery Inspection revealed that the Aircraft does not comply with the Delivery Conditions along with a description of such noncompliance. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ notifies Lessor that there is a discrepancy with the Delivery Conditions then, subject to clause 5.6.4, Lessor may elect to (i) remedy such discrepancy at Lessor’s cost as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event not later than the Final Delivery Date, (ii) for any discrepancy related to a Major Part, provide a substitute suitable for installation on the Aircraft that satisfies the Delivery Conditions and has a maintenance status (including Hours and Cycles remaining until next scheduled relevant Qualifying Maintenance Event) substantially similar or equivalent to the Major Part that it is replacing unless otherwise agreed between Lessor and Lessee, or (iii) in the event the discrepancies (in the aggregate) are reasonably expected to cost more than US$1,000,000 to rectify, terminate this Agreement (provided that Lessor and Lessee shall use good faith efforts to negotiate a resolution with respect to such discrepancies). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Technical Acceptance Notification Date Lessor has not yet provided Lessee with all of the Aircraft Documents from the previous operator, (x) Lessor will provide the remaining Aircraft Documents promptly following receipt thereof from the previous operator (the Remaining Records), (y) Lessee’s technical acceptance of the Aircraft described in the first sentence of this clause 5.6.3 shall be with respect to the Physical Inspection and review of the Initial Records only and (z) Lessee shall have a period of 15 days from receipt by Lessor of any Remaining Records to complete an inspection of such Remaining Records (provided that, with respect to any Remaining Records that are provided to Lessee within 15 days of the Scheduled Delivery Date, Lessee shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to complete its inspection of such Remaining Records on or prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date), and following completion of its review, shall notify Lessor in writing that either (i) it technically accepts the Remaining Records or (ii) its review of the Remaining Records revealed that the Remaining Records do not comply with the Delivery Conditions along with a description of such noncompliance (and Lessor and Lessee may remedy any such noncompliance in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence).
5.6.4Lessor and Lessee agree that in the case of any defects or non-conformities with the Delivery Conditions (normal wear and tear excepted) of a minor and cosmetic nature not affecting the airworthiness of the Aircraft (including, without limitation, any missing or minor discrepancies in any of the Aircraft Documents listed in sections C, D, G, H, I, J or K of Schedule 8 that would not impact Lessee’s ability
to operate the Aircraft) (Minor Discrepancies), Lessor may deliver the Aircraft to Lessee and, at Lessor’s option, (i) pay to Lessee an amount equal to the estimated
cost of rectification of such Minor Discrepancies (calculated by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (acting reasonably) by reference to the available aftermarket price applicable as at the Delivery Date in the case of a Part or, as applicable, the reasonable cost of repair in respect of any item capable of being cured by repair), (ii) procure the correction of such Minor Discrepancies at Lessor’s cost following Delivery at a time agreed upon with Lessee, or (iii) record such Minor Discrepancies on the Lease Supplement No. 1 and permit the Aircraft to be redelivered to Lessor at the end of the Lease Term with such Minor Discrepancies in the same condition of deviation from the Redelivery Conditions as at Delivery, and in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii), Lessee shall not be entitled to rely on those Minor Discrepancies as the basis upon which it does not accept the tender of the Aircraft for Delivery pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this clause 5.6.4 shall relieve Lessee from any obligation to perform its obligations during the Lease Term as set out in this Agreement.
5.7Indemnity and Insurance
Lessee shall indemnify the Indemnitees against all Losses incurred by such person(s) caused, directly or indirectly, by the Lessee or its representatives, contractors, sub-contractors or agents (including any Losses arising from death or injury to any observer or any employee, contractor, sub-contractor or agent of Lessee) in connection with any acceptance flight or inspection of the Aircraft by Lessee, except to the extent such Losses are caused by the gross negligence or the wilful misconduct of an Indemnitee. Lessee will ensure that the person(s) performing the Delivery Inspection shall be covered by appropriate insurance necessary to perform the Delivery Inspection.
6Disclaimers, waivers and Exclusions
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ALONE HAS SELECTED THE AIRCRAFT FOR LEASING BY LESSOR TO LESSEE USING ITS OWN JUDGMENT AND KNOWLEDGE AND BASED ON ITS OWN INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ HAS GIVEN THE WAIVERS AND ACCEPTED THE DISCLAIMERS SET OUT IN THIS CLAUSE 6 FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION WHICH IS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED, INCLUDING ▇▇▇▇▇▇’S ACCESS TO CERTAIN REMAINING AND ASSIGNABLE WARRANTIES FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER, LESSEE’S RIGHT TO INSPECT THE AIRCRAFT AND THE AMOUNT OF BASIC RENT AND OTHER CONSIDERATION PAYABLE BY LESSEE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

6.3Inspection; Waiver of Description
DELIVERY OF LEASE SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 BY LESSEE TO LESSOR SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE PROOF AS BETWEEN THE RELEVANT PARTIES ON THE ONE HAND AND LESSEE ON THE OTHER HAND THAT LESSEE’S TECHNICAL EXPERTS HAVE EXAMINED AND INVESTIGATED THE AIRCRAFT AND EACH PART THEREOF AND THAT THE AIRCRAFT AND EACH PART THEREOF IS AIRWORTHY AND IN GOOD WORKING ORDER AND REPAIR, WITHOUT DEFECT (WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE AT OR PRIOR TO DELIVERY), AND (EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED OTHERWISE IN LEASE SUPPLEMENT NO. 1, INCLUDING ANY STATED DISCREPANCIES FROM THE DELIVERY CONDITION CONTAINED IN SUCH LEASE SUPPLEMENT NO.1) IN EVERY WAY SATISFACTORY TO LESSEE. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ANY WARRANTY OF DESCRIPTION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND ANY CLAIMS LESSEE MAY HAVE AGAINST LESSOR OR ANY RELEVANT PARTY BASED UPON THE FAILURE OF THE AIRCRAFT TO CONFORM WITH SUCH DESCRIPTION, WHETHER OR NOT FAILURE OF THE AIRCRAFT TO CONFORM TO SUCH DESCRIPTION SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRS THE VALUE AND UTILITY OF THE AIRCRAFT AND WHETHER OR NOT LESSEE PLACED RELIANCE UPON ANY STATEMENT OR ASSURANCE OF ANY RELEVANT PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON.
▇▇▇▇▇▇ UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES TO WAIVE ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES (WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BY WAY OF DAMAGES OR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR OTHERWISE) THAT IT MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY RELEVANT PARTY OR THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY PART THEREOF IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE MATTERS SET OUT IN CLAUSES 6.2 AND 6.3.
6.5No Liability for Special or Consequential Loss
LESSEE UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT NO RELEVANT PARTY WILL HAVE ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY WHATSOEVER TO LESSEE (WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BY WAY OF DAMAGES OR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR PROFITS OR ANY OTHER INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE.
6.6Repairs and Replacement
If the Aircraft or any part thereof is lost, confiscated, damaged, destroyed or otherwise rendered unfit or unavailable for use, whether prior to or after Delivery, no Relevant Party shall be liable to repair the same or to supply any equipment in
substitution therefor.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee unconditionally agrees to waive any rights which it may have at any time (whether by statute or otherwise), to terminate, cancel, quit or surrender any Transaction Document, except for any termination expressly permitted by the terms of the Transaction Documents.
Nothing in this clause 6 will be deemed a waiver by Lessee of any rights it may have against Manufacturer, Engine Manufacturer or any Part supplier or manufacturer.
7Financial and Other Terms
Schedule 9 describes and defines certain financial and other terms agreed between Lessor and ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
On each Basic Rent Date during the Lease Term, Lessee shall pay Basic Rent to Lessor in advance. Lessee shall initiate payment adequately in advance of each Basic Rent Date to ensure that Lessor receives credit for the payment on the due date for payment.
▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay to Lessor, or at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s direction to the person entitled thereto, all Supplemental Rent promptly when due. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ fails to pay any Supplemental Rent, Lessor shall have all the same rights, powers and remedies provided for in the Transaction Documents or under applicable law as in the case of non-payment of Basic Rent. Notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that Supplemental Rent payable to Lessor is additional rent for the leasing of the Aircraft and not cash collateral or other security for Lessee’s maintenance or other obligations under the Transaction Documents. Once paid, all Supplemental Rent is the sole and exclusive property of Lessor, may be commingled with the general funds of Lessor and its Affiliates, is not held for or on behalf of (or refundable to) Lessee under any circumstances whatsoever and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has no interest therein whatsoever. Any payments due to Lessee by Lessor are separate and independent obligations and not a return of Supplemental Rent.
Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as Supplemental Rent, the Security in the amounts and on the dates set out in Schedule 9 (such amount of Supplemental Rent, together with all other and further payments made to Lessor under clause 7.5, in each case which has not been returned to Lessee or applied in accordance with the
Transaction Documents, the Security). No interest will accrue or be paid to Lessee in respect of the Security.
7.5Application of Security
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor or any of its Affiliates
may apply all or any portion of the Security held by Lessor or the “Security” held by Lessor or any of its Affiliates under (and as defined in) any Other Agreement in or towards satisfaction of any amounts due by Lessee or any of its Affiliates pursuant to any Transaction Document or any Other Agreement (including to compensate Lessor or any of its Affiliates or Servicer for any sums that it may in its discretion advance or expend as a result of any Event of Default or ‘event of default’ under such Other Agreement by Lessee or any of its Affiliates). If all or any portion of the Security is so applied, Lessee shall immediately, upon written demand, pay to Lessor as Supplemental Rent an amount equal to the amount so applied. No application of the Security shall be deemed a cure or waiver of any failure or default unless, until and to the extent Lessee pays to Lessor an amount equivalent to the amount so applied.
Lessee shall pay the Maintenance Rent to Lessor in accordance with Schedule 10. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have no right to the payment or return of any Maintenance Rent, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby waives and relinquishes all rights in the Maintenance Rent in favor of ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Once paid, all Maintenance Rent is the sole and exclusive property of Lessor, may be commingled with the general funds of Lessor and its Affiliates, is not held for or on behalf of (or refundable to) Lessee under any circumstances whatsoever and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has no interest therein whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, under no circumstances will Lessor be required to make contributions or payments to Lessee in respect of Qualifying Maintenance Events measured with reference to Maintenance Rent or, except in respect of the Post-Delivery Maintenance and the painting of the Aircraft as provided in clause 5.1.4, any other maintenance performed on the Aircraft.
8.1Lessor’s Account; Receipt of Payments
All payments by Lessee under the Transaction Documents shall be made to such bank and account as Lessor may from time to time notify to Lessee in writing not less than 5 Business Days prior to the date on which any relevant payment is due under this Agreement. All payments must be received at such account by 5:00 p.m. New York time on the due date. If any payment would otherwise fall due on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the preceding Business Day. Any payment received after 5:00 p.m. New York time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.
Lessee will pay to Lessor, as Supplemental Rent, interest at the Default Rate (both before and after judgment) on any amount overdue for payment by Lessee under the Transaction Documents for the period from the due date for payment to (and including) the date on which payment is received in full. Default interest will accrue on a day-to-day basis (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual
number of days elapsed) and shall be compounded at the end of each calendar month.
Lessee’s obligation to pay all Rent and to make any other payments and to perform its other obligations in accordance with the Transaction Documents are absolute and unconditional in all circumstances and regardless of any event or contingency whatsoever, including: (a) any right of set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defence, withholding or other right Lessee may have against Lessor, any Relevant Party, any
Indemnitee, any Tax Indemnitee or any other person; (b) any interruption of use or unavailability of the Aircraft for any reason, (including any requisition thereof) or any prohibition or interruption of or other restriction against Lessee’s use, operation or possession of the Aircraft, any interference with such use, operation or possession or any lack or invalidity of title or any other defect in the title, airworthiness, merchantability, fitness for any purpose, condition, design or operation of any kind or nature of the Aircraft, or the ineligibility of the Aircraft for any use or trade, or for registration or documentation under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, or the Total Loss of or damage to the Aircraft; (c) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, administration, administrative receivership, examinership, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceedings by or against Lessee, any Affiliate of Lessee, Lessor, any Relevant Party, any Indemnitee, any Tax Indemnitee or any other person; (d) any invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorisation of, or other defect in, any of the Transaction Documents; (e) any failure or delay on the part of any person to duly perform or comply with its obligations under any Transaction Document; and (f) any other cause, event or circumstance that, but for this clause 8.3, would or might have the effect of terminating, discharging or in any way affecting any obligation of Lessee under the Transaction Documents.
Nothing in this clause 8.3 will be construed to extinguish or otherwise limit ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to claim damages resulting from ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s breach of its quiet enjoyment covenant in clause 9.1.
8.4Payments Procedure and Application
All payments by Lessee under the Transaction Documents shall, unless otherwise specified, be made in Dollars (except in any case of any payment, indemnification or reimbursement obligation which relates to an amount incurred by any person that is denominated in another currency, in which case Lessee shall pay such amount in such other currency) in immediately available funds on the due date for payment 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 payment in Dollars). Lessor will have complete discretion to allocate all payments by Lessee as Lessor determines.
If any payment under or in connection with any Transaction Document is, for any reason, made or is recovered in a currency (the other currency) other than the currency (the currency of obligation) in which it is required to be paid then, to the extent that the payment (when converted into the currency of obligation 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 unpaid under the relevant Transaction Document, Lessee shall, as a
separate and independent obligation, fully indemnify Lessor and any other person entitled to such payment against the amount of the shortfall. Lessee shall also reimburse Lessor and any other person entitled to such payment any exchange costs and Taxes payable in connection with such conversion. For the purposes of this clause, rate of exchange means the rate at which Lessor or any other person entitled to such payment is able on the relevant date to purchase the currency of obligation in New York or London (at its option) with the other currency.
8.6Set-off; Withholding of Lessor Payments
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Transaction Documents, at any time when a Default has occurred and is continuing and/or any amount which is due and payable by Lessee or any of its Affiliates under the Transaction Documents or any Other Agreement remains unpaid, Lessor shall not be required to pay, return or release any amount to Lessee and Lessor may hold and apply any such amount in accordance with this clause 8.6. Any amount held by Lessor pursuant to this clause 8.6 may be applied in and towards satisfaction of any obligation (whether or not matured) of Lessee or any of its Affiliates under the Transaction Documents or any Other Agreement (and, for the purposes of application under any Other Agreement, Lessor may pay such amount to any other person in order to effect such application). If the obligations are in different currencies, Lessor may convert either obligation at the market rate of exchange available in New York or London (at its option) for the purposes of any such application. If an obligation is unascertained or unliquidated, Lessor may in good faith estimate that obligation and make any such application in respect of the estimated amount, subject to Lessor or Lessee making a payment to the other (as appropriate) when the obligation is ascertained or liquidated if such ascertained or liquidated obligation differs from such estimated amount.
8.7Authorizations for Payments
Lessee shall obtain and maintain or procure that there are obtained and maintained all certificates, licenses, permits and other authorisations (including in relation to foreign exchange controls) that are required for the making of the payments required by the Transaction Documents on the date and in the amounts and currency that are stipulated in the Transaction Documents.
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither Lessor nor any person lawfully claiming through Lessor (including without limitation any Financing Party) will interfere with the quiet use, possession and enjoyment of the Aircraft by Lessee in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents during the Lease Term, provided that the exercise by Lessor or any other such person of its rights under the Transaction Documents or applicable law in accordance therewith will not constitute such an interference.
9.2Lessor Obligations Following Expiry Date
So long as no Material Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any Other Agreement has occurred and is continuing, within 5 Business Days after:
9.2.1acceptance of redelivery of the Aircraft by Lessor in accordance with and in the condition required by this Agreement; or
9.2.2payment to Lessor of the Agreed Value and all other amounts then due under the Transaction Documents following a Total Loss of the Aircraft after the Delivery Date,
or, in each case, such later time as Lessor is satisfied that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has irrevocably paid all amounts which are due, or may become payable, by it under the Transaction Documents, Lessor will pay to Lessee an amount equal to the Security paid to Lessor (less any amounts applied in accordance with this Agreement); providedthat
Lessor may set off against any amount of the Security payable pursuant to this clause 9.2 any amounts that are due, or may become payable, by Lessee pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents. If any additional amounts become payable by Lessee after the Expiry Date, Lessee will pay such amounts to Lessor within 5 Business Days of receipt of a written demand from Lessor.
9.3Citizen of the United States
If Lessor ceases to be, or knows it will cease to be, a Citizen of the United States (as such term is defined in Section 40102(a)(15) of 49 U.S.C. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, as amended), it will promptly resign as owner trustee, effective upon the appointment of a successor owner trustee who is a Citizen of the United States in accordance with the Trust Agreement.
9.4Registration in the United States
Except in connection with the exercise of remedies during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lessor shall not do or suffer to be done anything that might reasonably be expected to adversely affect the continuous registration of the Aircraft with the Aviation Authority.

11.3.1Lessor, Servicer and their respective designees (which may include any manufacturer, follow-on operator of the Aircraft and assignee or transferee of any Relevant Party permitted by clause 23.2) shall have the right to inspect the Aircraft and review the Aircraft Documents at any time (subject to clause 11.3.2), such inspection shall be limited to a general visual walkaround and shall not involve the opening of any panels that are not ‘quick access’ panels (unless such inspection is done during a heavy maintenance check), and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor will not exercise such right more than once per year (except in the context of a proposed sale of the Aircraft or at the end of the Lease Term for redelivery inspection);
11.3.2Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, Lessor will give Lessee a minimum of 5 working days’ notice prior to any inspection and will coordinate with Lessee (or, if applicable, the relevant maintenance facility) in order to minimize any practical interference with Lessee’s business or the operation and maintenance of the Aircraft and, when available, Lessor shall inform Lessee of the name and other relevant details of each person who will perform or attend such inspection (and if such information has been provided to Lessee reasonably in advance of the inspection, Lessee shall not allow any other person to perform or attend such inspection or have access to the Aircraft on behalf of Lessor or any other Relevant Party). Any inspection will be conducted at Lessor’s expense (provided that Lessee will provide reasonable support for such inspections at no cost to Lessor), unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (including any Event of Default discovered as a result of such inspection), in which case
Lessee shall reimburse Lessor on demand for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such inspection.
11.3.3Lessee will use commercially reasonable endeavours to ensure that each person conducting an inspection in accordance with this Agreement will have access to the Aircraft and the Aircraft Documents sufficient to enable the performance of the inspection including, if required, obtaining all necessary approvals and clearances to permit the relevant person(s) access to restricted areas or sites, at Lessor’s cost and expense unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
11.3.4Lessee hereby authorizes and consents to any maintenance provider and manufacturer providing (whether at the time of the inspection or otherwise and
without the need for any further notice to or consent from Lessee or any other operator of the Aircraft) Lessor or any other person entitled to perform or attend an inspection with any information and documents relating to the Aircraft, the Aircraft Documents or their condition or maintenance.
11.3.5No Relevant Party shall have any duty to inspect the Aircraft or the Aircraft Documents and shall not incur any liability or obligation (or any diminishment of its rights) because of making or not making any such inspection or as a result of any other information any Relevant Party may receive relating to the Aircraft. Any inspection of the Aircraft or the Aircraft Documents shall be solely for the information of the person carrying out the inspection and failure to notify Lessee of any discrepancies thereafter shall not imply that Lessee is in compliance with the Transaction Documents or applicable law.
11.3.6Without prejudice to the foregoing, at Lessor’s sole discretion, and upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s request, in lieu of an on-site inspection, Lessee will provide any or all logs, flight manuals, maintenance records or other books and records related to the Aircraft (and any other Aircraft Documents) in digital format.
11.4.1Lessor may make such filings and registrations, execute such documents and take such other actions in order to ensure that the Cape Town Convention applies to the rights, remedies and interests of the Relevant Parties in and to the Aircraft or any part thereof and under the Transaction Documents and the Financing Documents (or in order to create, register, protect, preserve, perfect and maintain the rights, remedies and interests of the Relevant Parties under the Cape Town Convention). Lessee, at its cost and expense, shall consent to, and cooperate with Lessor to make, such filings and registrations (including obtaining any consents, approvals or authorisation codes required in connection with any such filing or registration) and execute such documents and take such other actions as Lessor may reasonably request, including taking any actions required to enable the filing or registration on the International Registry of any International Interest (or “national interest” or other interest under the Cape Town Convention) in the Aircraft or any part thereof constituted by or arising from the Transaction Documents, any permitted sublease or the Financing Documents.
(a)not register (or allow any person claiming through Lessee to register), or consent to the registration of, any interests relating to the Aircraft (whether or not taking priority over any Relevant Party’s International Interests or
other interests) at the International Registry (including through any designated entry point) or otherwise without Lessor’s prior written consent;
(b)not execute or submit or permit any other operator of the Aircraft to execute or submit an IDERA for recordation in favour of any creditor other than Lessor without ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s prior written consent; and

11.4.3Lessor and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledge and agree that, for all purposes under the Cape Town Convention:
(a)this Agreement constitutes a separate International Interest with respect to the Airframe and each Engine;
(b)this Agreement constitutes an agreement for registration of the Aircraft and such registration shall be made by the Lessor (or on its behalf) pursuant to this Agreement; and

11.5.5If Lessee fails to comply with the provisions of clause 21.2 as of the Expiry Date, then in lieu of such compliance, at Lessor’s sole discretion, Lessor may accept Lessee compensating Lessor (a) for overhaul and performance restoration costs and/or LLP replacement cost incurred in respect of the Aircraft resultant upon the inadequate maintenance of Aircraft Documents (according to FAA regulations and this Agreement) by Lessee during the Lease Term; and (b) for all rectification costs incurred in respect of any Part resultant upon the failure by Lessee to maintain an EASA Form 1 or FAA Form 8130-3 tag in respect of each Part, APU and Engine which is installed on the Aircraft at the time the Aircraft is redelivered to Lessor. This clause 11.5.5 shall not apply to Aircraft Documents provided by Lessor to Lessee on Delivery where such Aircraft Documents concern the time period before Delivery.
11.5.6Lessee shall permit or procure free and full access by Lessor, upon Lessor’s reasonable request, to all relevant Aircraft Documents and Aircraft data, including aircraft and engine health monitoring data produced by Lessee, or any other operator of the Aircraft and/or any third party providers; provided that such access (unless it is on-line access) shall not be more frequent than once a year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and shall not interfere with Lessee’s or any other operator of the Aircraft’s normal commercial operations of the Aircraft.
11.6Operational Information

15.5.2Upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s request, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall procure that any person to whom possession of the Removed Engine or Removed APU is given and any operator, lessor or owner of, or person holding a Security Interest in, an aircraft on which the Removed Engine or Removed APU is installed acknowledges in writing, for the benefit of the Relevant Parties, that it will respect the interests of the Relevant Parties in the Removed Engine or Removed APU and that neither it nor its successors or assigns will acquire, as against any Relevant Party, any right, title or interest in or to a Removed Engine or Removed APU as a result of such Removed Engine or Removed APU being installed on such aircraft; provided that such acknowledgment may take the form of an acknowledgment contained within the lease or financing document in respect of the aircraft on which the Removed Engine or the Removed APU is installed, so long as such acknowledgment is expressly stated to be for the benefit of third parties in the same position as the Relevant Parties (and Lessor is satisfied that it is legally effective to give such benefit to the Relevant Parties).
15.5.3For the benefit of each lessor and owner of, and holder of a Security Interest in, an
(i) airframe other than the Airframe on which a Removed Engine or Removed APU is installed or (ii) auxiliary power unit or engine which is installed on the Airframe (each such holder, a Third Party Beneficiary), Lessor shall not acquire or claim, as against such Third Party Beneficiary, any right, title or interest in or to any such airframe, engine or auxiliary power unit as a consequence of such engine or
auxiliary power unit being attached to the Airframe or as a consequence of any Removed Engine or Removed APU being attached to such airframe. If reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Lessor shall (at Lessee’s cost), if applicable, use reasonable endeavours to procure the provision of a written acknowledgment from Owner or any Financing Party holding a Security Interest in the Aircraft on terms similar to this clause 15.5.3.
15.6Unserviceable Major Parts
15.6.1If during the Lease Term a Major Part requires removal from the Aircraft by Lessee for Qualifying Maintenance Event resulting from Cycle, Flight Hour or calendar-time expiry or such Major Part’s normal performance deterioration, but not from any Excluded Event (the Exchange Criteria) (each such Major Part, an Unserviceable Major Part), Lessee shall provide Lessor with a written notice of such event (i) with respect to a scheduled Qualifying Maintenance Event (a Scheduled Qualifying Maintenance Event), no less than 90 days prior to the date such Scheduled Qualifying Maintenance Event would require to be commenced or (ii) with respect to an unscheduled Qualifying Maintenance Event (an Unscheduled Qualifying Maintenance Event), promptly, and in any event within 2 Business Days, after such Unscheduled Qualifying Maintenance Event is known to Lessee (an Exchange Notice). If any Major Part requires removal from the Aircraft by Lessee for any other purpose, Lessee shall provide a written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as soon as becoming aware of the cause for such removal. For an Unserviceable Major Part, the following will apply:
(a)in the case of a Major Part being removed for reasons other than it meeting the Exchange Criteria, Lessee shall repair the Unserviceable Major Part in order to make it serviceable as declared by the Major Part’s serviceable tag or replace the Unserviceable Major Part with a Replacement Engine, Replacement APU or Replacement Part (as applicable). All costs associated with such repair or replacement shall be borne by Lessee;
(b)in the case of a Major Part removed for a Scheduled Qualifying Maintenance
Event where the Exchange Criteria are satisfied:
(i)Lessor shall provide a Substitute Major Part as a substitute for such Unserviceable Major Part as soon as commercially practicable under the circumstances, but in any case within 90 days of receipt of the Exchange Notice. Under this scenario (A) a revised set of redelivery conditions in respect of the Substitute Major Part shall be agreed between Lessor and Lessee taking into consideration the condition of the Substitute Major Part and the remaining Lease Termto ensure that such Substitute Major Part will meet such redelivery conditions without further maintenance unless caused by an Excluded Event and (B) Lessee shall not be required to pay Maintenance Rent in respect of such Unserviceable Major Part (x) with respect to an Unserviceable Major Part that is an Engine or APU, for the period beginning on the date that such Engine or APU becomes unserviceable and ending on the date of receipt by Lessee of the Substitute Major Part and (y) with respect to an Unserviceable Major Part that is a Landing Gear, beginning on the later of (1) the date that is 90 days following Lessor’s receipt of the Exchange Notice and (2) the date on which such Landing Gear becomes unserviceable, and ending on the date of receipt by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of the Substitute Major Part;
(ii)should Lessor, acting reasonably, not be able to locate a suitable Substitute Major Part in accordance with sub-clause (i) immediately above, Lessee shall have the option to source a Substitute Major Part reasonably acceptable to Lessor. If Lessee sourcesa Substitute Major Part on a leased basis, Lessee shall provide a copy of the lease agreement for such Substitute Major Part to Lessor and obtain Lessor’s written consent (as to the form and substance of such lease agreement, including the amount of rent payable thereunder), which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, in advance of executing such lease agreement. Under this scenario, (A) Basic Rent payable under this Agreement shall be reduced for the period from the date of receipt of such Substitute Major Part by Lessee to the earlier of the Expiry Date and, if applicable, the date of expiration of the lease term under the lease for such Substitute Major Part, by an amount equal to (x) with respect to a Substitute Major Part sourced on a leased basis, the monthly lease rental payable by Lessee under such lease or (y) with respect to a Substitute Major Part owned by the Lessee, the then average current market lease rate for an engine, auxiliary power unit or landing gear, as applicable, of the same make and model as the Unserviceable Major Part being replaced, as evidenced by two quotes, one obtained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and one obtained by Lessor (provided that if the two quotes diverge by more than 10%, Lessee and Lessor will each obtain another quote, and the average of the three closest quotes will be utilized) (the Basic Rent Adjustment) and (B) Lessee shall have no obligation to pay Maintenance Rent to Lessor in respect of such Substitute Major Part beginning on the date of installation of such Substitute Major Part;
(iii)should Lessor be unable to provide a Substitute Major Part and Lessee be unable or unwilling to source a Substitute Major Part, or Lessee and Lessor are unable to mutually agree to the terms relating to the substitution of an Unserviceable Major Part (including as to the terms of any lease agreement relating to a Substitute Major Part sourced by Lessee on a leased basis) under this clause 15.6.1, then
this Agreement will terminate on, and the Expiry Date will be deemed for all purposes under this Agreement to be, the date that is 91 days following receipt by Lessor of the Exchange Notice. Following such termination, neither party will have any further obligations to the other party under this Agreement except (A) for any obligations which are expressed to survive the termination of the leasing of the Aircraft or of this Agreement (including but not limited to compliance with the Redelivery Conditions except insofar as they relate to the specific cause of the unserviceability of an Unserviceable Major Part described in the Exchange Notice) and (B) that Lessor shall, subject to clause 9.2, pay to Lessee an amount equal to the Security (less any amounts applied in accordance with this Agreement).
(c)in the case of a Major Part removed for an Unscheduled Qualifying Maintenance Event where the Exchange Criteria are satisfied:
(i)Lessee and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall discuss in good faith for aperiod of not more than 15 days following receipt by Lessor of the Exchange Notice, the following options with respect to the Unserviceable Major Part:
(A)repair the Unserviceable Major Part under terms agreed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in order to make it serviceable as declared by the Major Part’s serviceable tag;
(B)have Lessor source a Substitute Major Part as soon as commercially practicable under the circumstances, but in any case within 60 days of receipt of the Exchange Notice, in which case a revised set of Redelivery Conditions in respect of the Substitute Major Part shall be agreed between Lessor and Lessee taking into consideration the condition of the Substitute Major Part and the remaining Lease Term to ensure that such Substitute Major Part will meet such Redelivery Conditions without further maintenance unless caused by an Excluded Event; or
(C)have Lessee source a Substitute Major Part on a leased basis or from its own fleet. If Lessee sources a Substitute Major Part on a leased basis, Lessee shall provide a copy of the lease agreement for such Substitute Major Part to Lessor and obtain Lessor’s written consent (as to the form and substance of such lease agreement, including the amount of rent payable thereunder), not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, in advance of executing such lease agreement. Under this scenario, (A) Basic Rent payable under this Agreement shall be adjusted in accordance with the Basic Rent Adjustment and (B) Lessee shall have no obligation to pay Maintenance Rent to Lessor in respect of such Substitute Major Part beginning on the date of installation of such Substitute Major Part.
(ii)If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree on any of the options set forth in sub-clause (i) above, then this Agreement will terminate on, and the Expiry Date will be deemed to be for all purposes under this Agreement, the date that is 30 days following receipt by Lessor of the Exchange Notice. Following such termination, neither party will have any further obligations to the other party under this Agreement except (A) for any obligations which are expressed to survive the termination of the leasing of the Aircraft or of this Agreement
(including but not limited to compliance with the Redelivery Conditions except insofar as they relate to the specific cause of the unserviceability of an Unserviceable Major Part described in the Exchange Notice) and (B) that Lessor shall, subject to clause 9.2, pay to Lessee an amount equal to the Security (less any amounts applied in accordance with this Agreement). If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is not able to redeliver the Aircraft in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence on the new Expiry Date, then for the first 30 days following such new Expiry Date, Basic Rent shall continue to accrue at the Basic Rent rate and not at the escalated Basic Rent rate set forth in clause 21.4.1 (provided that from and after the 31st day following such new Expiry Date, if the Aircraft has not been redelivered, Basic Rent shall accrue at the rate set forth in clause 21.4.1).
(iii)If Lessor and Lessee agree that Lessor will deliver a Substitute Major Part pursuant to sub-clause (i)(B) above, and Lessor, acting
reasonably, is not able to locate a suitable Substitute Major Part within 60 days of receipt of the Exchange Notice, then Lessor and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall discuss in good faith to either:
(A)terminate this agreement, in which case this Agreement shall terminate on, and the Expiry Date will be deemed to be for all purposes under this Agreement, the date that is 90 days following receipt by Lessor of the Exchange Notice, provided that Lessee shall not be required to pay Basic Rent for the 30 day period prior to the new Expiry Date (provided that If Lessee is not able to redeliver the Aircraft on the new Expiry Date, then Basic Rent shall resume beginning on the first day following such new Expiry Date at the rate set forth in clause 21.4.1). Following such termination, neither party will have any further obligations to the other party under this Agreement except (A) for any obligations which are expressed to survive the termination of the leasing of the Aircraft or of this Agreement (including but not limited to compliance with the Redelivery Conditions except insofar as they relate to the specific cause of the unserviceability of an Unserviceable Major Part described in the Exchange Notice) and (B) that Lessor shall, subject to clause 9.2, pay to Lessee an amount equal to the Security (less any amounts applied in accordance with this Agreement); or
(B)have Lessee source a Substitute Major Part on a leased basis or from its own fleet. If Lessee sources a Substitute Major Part on a leased basis, Lessee shall provide a copy of the lease agreement for such Substitute Major Part to Lessor and obtain Lessor’s written consent (as to the form and substance of such lease agreement, including the amount of rent payable thereunder), not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, in advance of executing such lease agreement. Under this scenario, (A) Basic Rent payable under this Agreement shall be adjusted in accordance with the Basic Rent Adjustment and (B) Lessee shall have no obligation to pay Maintenance Rent to Lessor in respect of such Substitute
Major Part beginning on the date of installation of such Substitute Major Part.
15.6.2(i) Any Substitute Major Part provided by Lessor will become an “Engine”, “APU” or “Landing Gear”, as applicable, for all intents and purposes under the Transaction Documents and shall become subject to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Financing Documents, (ii) the Unserviceable Major Part shall cease to be subject to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Financing Documents, (iii) Lessee shall promptly, and in any case within 45 days of removal, redeliver the Unserviceable Major Part, together with all Aircraft Documents relating to such Unserviceable Major Part, to Lessor in the condition required under clause 21 (other than in respect of the issue which triggered the Exchange Criteria) to a location chosen by Lessor (acting reasonably), (iv) Lessee shall (at its own cost) execute such agreements or instruments, and do all such further acts and things, as Lessor may request in order to give effect to the substitution of the Substitute Major Part and (v) all transportation, shipping, installation and removal costs shall be borne (A) by Lessee in the case of (x) a
return to Lessor of an Unserviceable Major Part and (y) delivery to Lessee of a Substitute Major Part sourced by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and (B) by Lessor in the case of delivery to Lessee of a Substitute Major Part sourced by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
16Manufacturer’s Warranties
16.1Assignment of Warranties
On the Delivery Date, all assignable or transferable Manufacturer, Engine Manufacturer, or any other maintenance provider or vendor warranties with respect to the Aircraft are hereby made available by Lessor to Lessee for the duration of the Lease Term, without warranty by Lessor as to the enforceability of any of the rights so made available.
16.2Obligations Relating to Warranty Claims
Lessee shall promptly and in good faith pursue all claims it may have against Manufacturer, Engine Manufacturer and any other vendor, maintenance provider or repairer in respect of the Aircraft and will promptly notify Lessor in writing of any such claim. Lessee shall not take or allow any action, or omit to take any action, that would adversely affect any material right of any Relevant Party against Manufacturer, Engine Manufacturer and any other vendor, maintenance provider or repairer in respect of the Aircraft. In respect of any maintenance or repairs performed on the Aircraft during the Lease Term, Lessee shall ensure that the person performing such maintenance or repair (including any manufacturer) gives a binding agreement that any warranties given to Lessee in respect of such maintenance or repairs are assignable or transferable to Owner and any subsequent owner or operator of the Aircraft or any part thereof at or after the end of the Lease Term (and such obligation shall survive the Expiry Date).
16.3Proceeds of Warranty Claims
Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice of any warranty claim in respect of the Aircraft which is settled with Lessee on the basis of a total or partial cash payment. Any cash payments to Lessee in respect of warranty claims, which are not or will not be applied to the repair or remedy of defects in the Aircraft and which are not in respect of compensation for loss of use of the Aircraft during the Lease Term, shall be for Lessor’s account and shall, to the extent received by Lessee, be promptly paid by Lessee to Lessor. In all other cases, proceeds of any claims under any warranty relating to the Aircraft received by Lessee shall be promptly applied to repair or remedy the defect, if any, in the Aircraft giving rise to such claim.
16.4Reassignment of Warranty and Existing Claims
The assignment or other transfer of rights by Lessor or Owner pursuant to this clause 16 shall terminate and automatically revert to Lessor or Owner (as applicable) at the time the Aircraft is redelivered to Lessor (whether at the end of the Lease Term or otherwise and whether voluntary or involuntary) without any further act on the part of Owner, Lessor or Lessee; provided that if any claims relating to the repair or remedy of defects in the Aircraft (other than defects which have been repaired or remedied by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and for which such claim relates only to reimbursement of Lesseefor the costs of such remedyor repair) remain outstanding at the time of such termination, then Lessee shall, at its own expense, take all such actions as are required to assign or transfer the rights to such claims to Lessor (or, at Lessor’s election, Owner) and notify and obtain any required consent of the
relevant manufacturer, vendor, maintenance provider or repairer. If requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall take all actions and execute all documents required to give effect to this clause 16.4 and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under this clause 16.4 shall survive the Expiry Date.
▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby agrees at all times to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against all and any Losses that are incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any Indemnitee or the Aircraft by any person directly or indirectly arising from, connected with or related to any of the following:

All payments to be made by Lessee under or in connection with the Transaction Documents, whether in respect of Rent or any other amount, shall be made in full without any deduction or withholding (whether in respect of set-off, counterclaim, duties, Taxes, charges or otherwise) unless such deduction or withholding is required by law in respect of any payment, in which event Lessee shall:
18.6.1ensure that any deduction or withholdingby it does not exceed the minimum amount legally required;
18.6.2on the due date for such payment, pay to the payee such additional amount as shall result in the net amount received by such payee being equal on an After-Tax Basis to that amount which would have been received by such payee had no such deduction or withholding been made or required;
18.6.3pay to the applicable taxation or other authorities within the period for payment permitted by law the full amount of the deduction or withholding legally required to be paid by it (including the full amount of any deduction or withholding from any additional amount paid pursuant to clause 18.6.2); and
18.6.4furnish to such payee, within 30 days of the due date for such payment to it either
(x) an official receipt of the applicable taxation or other authorities for all amounts deducted or withheld as aforesaid or (y) if such receipts are not issued by the relevant taxation or other authorities, a certificate of deduction or other evidence acceptable to Lessor of payment of the relevant deduction or withholding.
Lessee shall promptly pay all Taxes as and when the same are due and Lessee shall, upon request, provide evidence satisfactory to Lessor that it has paid, or set
aside adequate reserves to pay, all Taxes.
18.8Tax Filings and Information
18.8.1Lessee will provide such information as may be requested by Lessor to enable any Tax Indemnitee to fulfil its tax filing or other information reporting requirements with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. If any report, return or statement is required to be filed with respect to any Tax which is subject to indemnification under this clause 18, to the extent legally permitted to do so Lessee shall timely file it or cause it to be filed (except for any such report, return or statement which a Tax Indemnitee has notified Lessee that it intends to file, or for income tax returns or any other return, report or statement which any Tax Indemnitee is required by law to file in its own name). Lessee shall send a copy of
each such report, return or statement to Lessor. Where Lessee is not so permitted to file such report, return or statement, it shall notify Lessor of such requirement and prepare and deliver, such report, return or statement to Lessor in a manner satisfactory to it within a reasonable time prior to the time such report, return or statement is to be filed.
18.8.2Lessor agrees to provide Lessee with such information as is available to Lessor and which Lessor is permitted to provide and as may be reasonable necessary or appropriate in order for Lessee to claim any reduction of, or exemption from any Tax which Lessee may be required to indemnify against under this Agreement, unless Lessor determines that providing such information may have an adverse effect on either the business, operations, financial or tax position of any Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or Lessor’s reputation or standing with any tax authority.
18.9Continuation of Indemnities
The rights of each Tax Indemnitee in respect of the indemnities contained in this Agreement, including in this clause 18, shall continue in full force and effect in favour of each such Tax Indemnitee notwithstanding the termination of any Transaction Document and/or the leasing of the Aircraft hereunder for any reason whatsoever, any breach of any Transaction Document by any person or any other fact, event or circumstance of any kind whatsoever.
From the Delivery Date until expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term and redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor (and thereafter in accordance with clause 19.13), Lessee shall, at its own expense, effect and maintain or cause to be effected and maintained in full force and effect insurances and, if required by Lessor, reinsurances, on and with respect to the Aircraft that comply with the provisions of this clause 19, and further comply with any other applicable provisions of the Transaction Documents (such insurances and reinsurances, the Insurances). The Insurances shall be led by underwriters and carried with insurers, and through brokers, in each case, of recognised international standing and credit, in each case acceptable to Lessor in its sole discretion, who regularly participate in aviation insurance in the London or New York insurance markets (or such other leading international insurance markets as Lessor may approve in writing). The Insurances shall at all times reflect prudent practices in the international aviation insurance market for major international air carriers operating the same type of aircraft as the Aircraft on similar routes.
19.2.1Lessor may from time to time, having regard to insurance coverage carried by major international commercial air carriers operating aircraft of the same type as the Aircraft and to practices at such time in the international aviation insurance market and to the requirements of lessors and financiers of aircraft and to the interests of the Indemnitees, require Lessee (at no cost to Lessor or any Indemnitee) to effect such other insurances, or such variations to the terms of the existing Insurances, as Lessor may by notice to Lessee reasonably require in order fully to protect the interests of the Indemnitees.
19.2.2If Lessor requires any additional insurances or variations to any Insurances pursuant to clause 19.2.1 or wishes to revoke its approval of any insurer, reinsurer or broker, Lessor and its insurance advisers will, at the request of Lessee made within 5 Business Days of Lessor’s notification of any such requirement or revocation, consult with Lessee and the relevant broker as to whether such additional insurances or variations to any Insurances or a change of insurer, reinsurer or broker (as applicable) is required in to protect the interests of the Indemnitees. If, following that consultation, Lessor (acting reasonably) considers that any such additional insurances, variations to Insurances or change of insurer, reinsurer or broker should be implemented, Lessee shall promptly arrange or procure insurance cover meeting Lessor’s requirements.
19.2.3If at any time Lessor reasonably considers that the existing Insurances do not provide the Relevant Parties a satisfactory breach of warranty endorsement (in the case of Hull All-Risks and Hull War-Risks policies) and a satisfactory breach of warranty endorsement and cross liability and/or severability of interests clause (in the case of liability policies), then Lessee shall, at the request of Lessor, effect and maintain a policy in respect of the interests of the Relevant Parties, in such form as Lessor reasonably requires.
19.2.4Nothing in this clause 19.2 shall be construed as to require Lessee to (i) increase the Agreed Value, (ii) decrease the deductible permitted under this Agreement or
(iii) increase the Minimum Liability Amount; provided that the Agreed Value may be adjusted in connection with the replacement of any Engine in accordance with clause 15.6 or clause 20.2, as applicable.
19.3Insurance with Respect to the Aircraft
Lessee shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained with respect to the Aircraft the following insurances:
19.3.1“Hull All-Risks” in respect of loss or damage while flying and on the ground with respect to the Aircraft on an agreed value basis for the Agreed Value;
19.3.2“All-Risks” (including “War and Allied Risk” except when on the ground or in transit other than by air) property insurance on all Engines, the APU and Parts when not installed on the Aircraft on an agreed value basis for not less than their full replacement value and including engine test and running risks; and
19.3.3“Hull War and Allied Perils” based on the coverage afforded by LSW 555D or market equivalent available from the leading international insurance markets, including confiscation and requisition by the State of Registration, hijacking, strikes, riots, malicious damage and civil commotion on an agreed value basis for the Agreed Value.
So long as it shall, in Lessor’s opinion, be general industry practice to insure aircraft that are leased and financed on the basis of Lloyds form AVN 67B endorsements, then Lessee shall procure endorsements to the Insurances to incorporate the terms of Lloyds form AVN 67B endorsements into the policies for such Insurances (or, if such endorsements are not possible, shall procure that the Insurances are, at a minimum, consistent with the terms of such endorsements). In the event that any provision of such AVN 67B endorsements conflicts with or is otherwise inconsistent with the requirements of this clause 19 then (so long as it shall, in Lessor’s
reasonable opinion, be general industry practice to insure aircraft that are leased and financed on the basis of such endorsements) such conflicting or inconsistent provision of such endorsements shall prevail and shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this clause 19 to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency.
19.5Terms Specific to Hull Insurance
The Insurances required under clause 19.3 shall be provided on an agreed value basis and the policies and shall:
19.5.1include each Relevant Party as an additional insured for its respective rights and interests;
19.5.2include a loss payable clause that provides that all insurance proceeds in respect of a Total Loss shall be payable in accordance with (or on terms consistent with) the terms and conditions of Lloyds form AVN 67B endorsement to Lessor or its designee and that all other insurance proceeds shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other “Contracts” named on the Insurances (which shall include the relevant Transaction Documents and Financing Documents) to such parties as may be necessary to repair the Aircraft;
19.5.3include a notice and/or acknowledgment of any assignment (which may take the form of being noted as a contract in the insurance certificate) of any of Lessee’s or any insurer’s rights, interests and benefits to all proceeds of Insurances, as the case may be, and any further assignment of the same by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Lessor, Owner or any other person in a form acceptable to Lessor;
19.5.4be subject to such exclusions and deductibles as Lessor may reasonably approve, provided that in no event shall the deductible under the Hull All-Risks and the Hull War-Risks insurance exceed the Damage Notification Threshold;
19.5.5provide that the insurers are not entitled to replace the Aircraft in the event of a Total Loss; and
19.5.6provide that under the insurance policies, if the insured installs an engine owned by a third party on the Aircraft either (i) the hull insurance will automatically increase to such higher amount as is necessary in order to satisfy both the requirement that the loss payee in respect of the Aircraft will receive an amount equal to the Agreed Value in the event of a Total Loss and any amount separately payable to the third party engine owner in respect of the Total Loss, or (ii) separate additional insurance on such engine will attach in order to satisfy the requirements of the insured to such third party engine owner.
If separate Insurances are arranged to cover the “Hull All-Risks” insurance and the “Hull War-Risks” and related insurances, the underwriters subscribing to such insurance agree that if any dispute as to whether a claim is covered by the “Hull
All-Risks” or “Hull War-Risks” policies, such claim be settled on a 50/50 claim funding basis in accordance with AVS103 (or similar).

the equivalent thereof in any other currency approved by Lessor in writing), for any one accident, such policy or policies to cover war risks and allied perils.
19.6.2The policies evidencing the Insurances required under clause 19.6.1 shall:
(a)include each Indemnitee as an additional insured for its respective rights and interests;
(b)provide that all the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate to give each additional insured the same protection as if there were a separate policy covering each additional insured;
(c)provide cover for each additional insured in relation to death or injury to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s pilots, crew and employees; and
(d)be primary and without right of contribution from other insurance that may be available to any other additional insured, and that the liability of the insurers will not be affected by any other insurance of which any additional insured may have the benefit of to reduce the amount payable to the additional insureds under such policies.
19.7Provisions Relating to all Insurances
The policies evidencing the Insurances shall:
19.7.1provide that the Insurances shall not be invalidated, so far as concerns any contract party or additional insured, by any action or inaction or omission (including misrepresentation and nondisclosure) of any person that results in a breach of any term, condition or warranty of such policy; provided that the contract party or additional insured so protected has not caused, contributed to or knowingly condoned the action, inaction or omission, as the case may be;
19.7.2specifically reference this Agreement and all other contracts under which any Relevant Party has an insurable interest and accept and insure (to the extent of the risks covered by such policies) the indemnity provisions of this Agreement;

19.7.8provide that the insurers shall promptly notify each Relevant Party in the event of cancellation of, or any material change in, the Insurances or any act or omission or any event that might invalidate or render unenforceable the Insurances or if any premium or instalment of premium shall not have been paid when due and that the Insurances shall continue unaltered for the benefit of each Indemnitee for at least 30 days after written notice of such cancellation, change, event or non-payment of premium or instalment thereof shall have been received by each Relevant Party or the relevant broker except in the case of War Risks for which 7 days’ notice (or such period as may be customarily available in respect of War Risks or Allied Perils) will be given; and
19.7.9provide coverage with respect to losses and claims in connection with the change of year from 1999 to 2000, the change of date from 21 August 1999 to 22 August 1999 and/or any other change of year, date or time to the fullest extent as customary in the worldwide aviation insurance market, including date recognition limited coverage clauses AVN 2001A and AVN 2002A.
Lessee shall:
19.8.1ensure or procure that all legal requirements relating to the insurance of the Aircraft which may from time to time be imposed by the laws of the State of Registration, the State of Incorporation or any country to, from or over which the Aircraft may be flown are complied with including those requirements compliance with which is necessary to ensure that (i) the Aircraft is not in danger of detention, seizure, confiscation or forfeiture (or any similar event), (ii) the Insurances remain valid and in full force and effect and (iii) the interests of the Indemnitees in the Insurances and the Aircraft are not prejudiced;

19.8.4not make or permit any modification or alteration to the Insurances which is adverse to the interests of any Indemnitee;
19.8.5be responsible for any deductible under the Insurances;
19.8.6if the Insurances required under clause 19.3 are subject to any aggregate limit, from to time purchase additional coverage such that the balance of coverage available under any such aggregate limit shall at all times be equal to at least the greater of
(i) the insured aggregate at the inception of the current policy and (ii) the minimum
requirements of this Agreement.
19.9Renewal and Information
19.9.1On or before the Delivery Date and promptly prior to each renewal of the Insurances, but in no event later than 2 Business Days prior thereto, Lessee shall
provide Lessor with certificates of insurance and a broker’s letter of undertaking in respect of the Insurances (including, if applicable a separate certificate and letter of undertaking relating to the reinsurances) that (i) evidence to the satisfaction of Lessor that the Insurances are and will continue in full force after the Delivery Date or the renewal date (as the case may be) for such period as shall then be stipulated and (ii) contain such other certifications and undertakings as are customarily provided to parties of the same type as the Indemnitees by insurance brokers acting for major international air carriers.
19.9.2Lessee shall commence renewal procedures at least 30 days prior to expiry of any of the Insurances and shall furnish such information regarding the status of renewal negotiations as may from time to time be reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
19.9.3Lessee shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Lessor on the Delivery Date and thereafter as and when required by Lessor (including upon each transfer of the Aircraft or assignment or transfer of rights or interests as permitted by clause 23.2 of this Agreement) insurance certificates and broker’s letters of undertaking (and corresponding reinsurance documentation, where applicable) that confirm that the requirements of this clause 19 are being complied with.
19.9.4Lessee shall, at the reasonable request of Lessor (which shall include any request made in connection with an insurance claim that relates to the Aircraft), make available to Lessor (or its respective authorised representatives), at the office of Lessee or its insurance brokers during normal business hours, copies of the policies and endorsements and any amendments thereto with respect to the Insurances.
19.9.5Lessee shall, on request, provide to Lessor copies of documents evidencing the Insurances and evidence that all insurance premiums have been paid and shall provide any other insurance and reinsurance related information or assistance in respect of the Insurances that Lessor may reasonably require.
19.10Additional Insurance; No Security Interest
19.10.1Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of Lessor, maintain insurances with respect to the Aircraft or any Engine, other than as required under this Agreement; provided that Lessee may self-insure the risks covered by the hull Insurances by way of deductible, but in no event in an amount greater than the Damage Notification Threshold.
19.10.2Lessee shall not create or permit to exist any Security Interest (other than a Lessor Lien) over the Insurances required by this Agreement, or its interest therein, save as constituted by the Transaction Documents.
If at any time ▇▇▇▇▇▇ fails to maintain in full force and effect Insurances in compliance with the Transaction Documents (and without prejudice to any other rights that any Relevant Party may have or acquire under the Transaction
Documents or the Insurances because of such failure):
19.11.1Lessor and any Relevant Party shall be entitled but not bound to pay the premiums due or effect and maintain insurances satisfactory to it or otherwise remedy Lessee’s failure in such manner (including to effect and maintain its own insurance policy) as it considers appropriate and any sums so expended by it will become
immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor or the applicable Relevant Party; and
19.11.2Lessee shall, as soon as it is possible to do so, cause the Aircraft to be grounded and shall keep the Aircraft grounded and immediately notify Lessor of such failure including reasonable details of all relevant circumstances and the steps that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is taking to remedy the failure. Lessor may, at any time while such failure is continuing, 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.
19.12Settlement of Claims
19.12.1Lessee shall not settle or permit settlement of any claim arising under any of the hull and spare Insurances in respect of any loss or damage in excess of the Damage Notification Threshold or make any payment in connection therewith without the prior written consent of Lessor, and will not settle or permit settlement of any claims under such Insurances without such consent if a Default has occurred and is continuing. The proceeds of hull Insurances in respect of a Total Loss shall be paid to Lessor or its designee in an amount equal to the Agreed Value. The proceeds of hull and spare Insurances in respect of any loss or damage other than a Total Loss shall be paid (i) to Lessee if such proceeds are in an amount that is less than the Damage Notification Threshold, or (ii) to Lessor or at Lessor’s direction for the account of the person who repairs the Aircraft (or to Lessee in reimbursement for paying for such repairs if Lessee has provided proof that it has paid such repairer of the Aircraft in full) if such proceeds are equal to or greater than the Damage Notification Threshold, provided that if a Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all such proceeds which would otherwise be paid to Lessee shall be paid to Lessor or its designee until such Material Default or Event of Default is no longer continuing.
19.12.2Upon completion of the repair of any loss or damage for which the insurers have paid insurance proceeds to Lessee, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor an officer’s certificate together with a certificate of return to service (CRS) certifying that such repairs to the Aircraft have been completed in accordance with Manufacturer’s recommended procedures.
19.13Changes to Indemnitees and Continuation of Cover
19.13.1In the event of a sale, assignment, novation, transfer or other disposition or the granting of any Security Interest by any person pursuant to clause 23.2 and/or if any person becomes an Indemnitee from time to time, Lessee will, upon request, promptly procure that each new and each continuing Indemnitee be named as a contract party and/or additional insured under all Insurances in respect of its rights and interests. In addition, if at any time any person ceases to be an Indemnitee (which, for the purposes of this clause 19.13.1, shall include any person who only continues to be an Indemnitee by virtue of clause 23.5), Lessee shall effect and maintain for the benefit of such person the liability Insurances otherwise required under this Agreement for such period as Lessor may reasonably require, but in any event for not more than 2 years from the date such person ceased to be an Indemnitee, and such Insurances shall provide for such person to be named as an
19.13.2Lessee shall effect and maintain, at no cost to Lessor, Insurances in an amount not less than the Minimum Liability Coverage in the annual aggregate after the Expiry Date with respect to its liability under the indemnities in clause 17 for such period
as Lessor may reasonably require, but in any event for not more than 2 years from the Expiry Date, and such Insurances shall provide for each person that was an Indemnitee immediately prior to the Expiry Date to be named as an additional insured.
19.13.3Lessee’s obligations under this clause 19.13 shall not be affected by Lessee ceasing to be Lessee of the Aircraft and/or any Indemnitee ceasing to have an interest in respect of the Aircraft.
If reinsurance is required to be maintained, all reinsurances must (a) be on the same terms as the original Insurances, (b) reinsure not less than 98% of all risks (or such other amount as Lessor may agree), (c) provide that notwithstanding the bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, or similar proceedings affecting the reinsured party, the reinsurers will be liable to make payment under the relevant policy of reinsurance as if the reinsured party had (immediately before such proceedings) discharged its obligations in full under the original insurance policy, (d) be with insurers of recognised responsibility with limits in line with those of standard airline practice and (e) contain a “cut through” clause in the following terms or otherwise satisfactory to Lessor:
“The reinsurers hereby agree that in the event of any valid claim arising under the reinsurances in respect of a Total Loss or other claim where, as provided by the [Lease], such claim is to be paid to the person(s) named as loss payee(s) under the primary insurances, the reinsurers shall in lieu of payment to the reinsured, its successors in interest and assigns, pay to the person(s) named as loss payee(s) under the primary insurances effected by the Insured that portion of any loss due for which the reinsurers would otherwise be liable to pay the reinsured (subject to proof of loss), it being understood and agreed that any such payment by the reinsurers shall (to the extent of such payment) fully discharge and release the reinsurers from any and all further liability in connection therewith. Any payment due under this clause shall not contravene any law, statute or decree of [insert country of primary insurer].”
20Loss, Damage And Requisition
20.1Total Loss of Aircraft or Airframe after Delivery
If a Total Loss of the Airframe or the Aircraft occurs during the Lease Term (and whether or not the same constitutes a Total Loss in respect of any Engine or the APU):
20.1.1Lessee will pay the Agreed Value to Lessor (or such other person as is designated by Lessor) on or prior to the earlier of (i) 90 days after such Total Loss and (ii) the date on which the insurance proceeds in respect of such Total Loss are paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s insurers or brokers. Notwithstanding such Total Loss, the Lease Term shall continue until the Expiry Date and Lessee shall continue to make all Basic Rent and other payments (including, without limitation, Maintenance Rent), and all parties shall continue to perform their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents that are capable of being performed despite such Total Loss;
20.1.2subject to the rights of any insurers and reinsurers or other person, uponor promptly
following the Expiry Date, Lessor will procure at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s expense that there is transferred to Lessee (or its designee) without recourse or warranty (except as to
freedom from Lessor Liens) all of Owner’s right, title and interest in and to the Aircraft, on an “as-is, where-is” basis, and will procure such bills of sale and other documents and instruments as Lessee may reasonably request to evidence (on the public record or otherwise) such transfer. Lessee shall indemnify each Tax Indemnitee for all fees, expenses and Taxes incurred by it in connection with any such transfer; and
20.1.3upon the Expiry Date, the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement shall terminate and neither party will have any further obligations to the other party under this Agreement, except (i) for any obligations which are expressed to survive the termination of the leasing of the Aircraft or of this Agreement, (ii) the provisions of clause 9.2 shall apply with respect to Security and (iii) the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee an amount equal to any Maintenance Rent paid to the Lessor following the date of the Total Loss.
20.2Total Loss of Engine(s)
20.2.1Upon a Total Loss of any 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 (in either case, a Destroyed Engine), Lessee shall, promptly, and in any case within 2 Business Days, upon becoming aware of the same, give written notice thereof to Lessor and Lessee shall replace the Destroyed Engine as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event within the earlier of (i) 90 days after the Total Loss and
(ii) the date of receipt of insurance proceeds in respect of such Total Loss) by procuring that title to a Replacement Engine is duly transferred to Owner (free of all Security Interests other than Permitted Liens and on terms and from such person as is reasonably acceptable to Lessor). Lessee’s obligation to pay Basic Rent and all other payments shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such Total Loss or replacement. Upon such transfer of title to such Replacement Engine to Owner, such Replacement Engine shall be an Engine as defined in this Agreement and, provided no Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor shall pay to Lessee or its designee an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the net amount of any insurance proceeds receivedby Lessor in respect of the Destroyed Engine under the Insurances required to be maintained in respect of such Destroyed Engine and (ii) the actual purchase price (or, if sourced from the Lessee’s owned-fleet, the fair market value (as reasonably agreed by the Lessor and the Lessee)) of such Replacement Engine.
20.2.2▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to take such action as Lessor may reasonably request in order that any such Replacement Engine shall be or immediately become the property of Owner and become subject to this Agreement (leased on the same terms as the Destroyed Engine) and any Transaction Documents and/or Financing Documents.
20.2.3Upon compliance with the provisions of clauses 20.2.1 and 20.2.2, the leasing of the Destroyed Engine shall cease and Lessor will, subject to the rights of any insurers and reinsurers or other person, procure at Lessee’s expense that there is transferred to Lessee (or its designee) without recourse or warranty (except as to freedom from Lessor Liens) all of Owner’s right, title and interest in and to the Destroyed Engine, on an “as-is, where-is” basis, and will procure such bills of sale and other documents and instruments as Lessee may reasonably request to evidence (on the public record or otherwise) such transfer. Lessee shall indemnify each Tax Indemnitee for all fees, expenses and Taxes incurred by it in connection with any such transfer. If the Destroyed Engine or any part thereof is salvaged and returned to service,
Lessee shall indemnify each Indemnitee under clause 17 against any future use of such Destroyed Engine to the same extent as if it were an
Engine and will include each Indemnitee as an additional insured on its insurance policy with respect to the Destroyed Engine for so long as the Destroyed Engine is operated by Lessee.
20.3.1Upon a Total Loss of an APU not installed on the Aircraft, or a Total Loss of an APU installed on the Airframe not involving a Total Loss of the Airframe (in either case, a Destroyed APU), Lessee shall, promptly, and in any case within 2 Business Days, upon becoming aware of the same, give written notice thereof to Lessor and Lessee shall replace the Destroyed APU as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event within the earlier of (i) 90 days after the Total Loss and (ii) the date of receipt of insurance proceeds in respect of such Total Loss) by procuring that title to a Replacement APU is duly transferred to Owner (free of all Security Interests other than Permitted Liens and on terms and from such person as is reasonably acceptable to Lessor). Lessee’s obligation to pay Rent and all other payments shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such Total Loss or replacement. Upon such transfer of title to such Replacement APU to Owner, such Replacement APU shall be an APU as defined in this Agreement and, provided no Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor shall pay to Lessee or its designee an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the net amount of any insurance proceeds received by Lessor in respect of the Destroyed APU under the Insurances required to be maintained in respect of such Destroyed APU and (ii) the actual purchase price (or, if sourced from the Lessee’s owned-fleet, the fair market value (as reasonably agreed by the Lessor and the Lessee)) of such Replacement APU.
20.3.2▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to take such action as Lessor may reasonably request in order that any such Replacement APU shall be or immediately become the property of Owner and become subject to this Agreement (leased on the same terms as the Destroyed APU) and any Transaction Documents and/or Financing Documents.
20.3.3Upon compliance with the provisions of clauses 20.3.1 and 20.3.2, the leasing of the Destroyed APU shall cease and Lessor will, subject to the rights of any insurers and reinsurers or other person, procure at Lessee’s expense that there is transferred to Lessee (or its designee) without recourse or warranty (except as to freedom from Lessor Liens) all of Owner’s right, title and interest in and to the Destroyed APU, on an “as-is, where-is” basis, and will procure such bills of sale and other documents and instruments as Lessee may reasonably request to evidence (on the public record or otherwise) such transfer. Lessee shall indemnify each Tax Indemnitee for all fees, expenses and Taxes incurred by it in connection with any such transfer. If the Destroyed APU or any part thereof is salvaged and returned to service, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall indemnify each Indemnitee under clause 17 against any future use of such Destroyed APU to the same extent as if it were an APU and will include each Indemnitee as an additional insured on its insurance policy with respect to the Destroyed APU for so long as the Destroyed APU is operated by Lessee.
20.4.1If there is a requisition for use or hire of the Aircraft or any part thereof, then Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor in writing and, unless and until the Aircraft becomes a Total Loss and Lessee shall have paid all amounts due pursuant to clause 20.1, the leasing of the Aircraft to Lessee under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessee shall remain fully responsible for performance and observance of all its obligations under this Agreement, other than obligations (which
shall not include reporting requirements and payment of Rent or any other amounts, including any amounts which become payable if the Lease Term is extended in accordance with clause 21.4.1) with which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is unable to comply solely by virtue of such requisition.
20.4.2Lessee shall, as soon as practicable after the end of any requisition for use or hire, cause the Aircraft to be put into the condition required by this Agreement.
20.4.3Lessor shall apply any requisition payments or other compensation received by it as a result of the requisition for use of the Aircraft in or towards discharge of Rent and other amounts due from Lessee under the Transaction Documents (including such amounts as may be required to restore the Aircraft to the condition required by this Agreement after the end of such requisition) and shall (provided no Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) release to Lessee the net amount of any surplus remaining after such application.
On the Expiry Date (other than following a Total Loss) Lessee shall, at its own expense, redeliver the Aircraft and the Aircraft Documents to Lessor (cleared through customs with all Taxes, customs or export duties or other amounts payable in any jurisdiction in connection with the export and return to Lessor of the Aircraft paid in full by Lessee) at an airport in the contiguous United States selected by Lessor and reasonably accepted by Lessee (the Redelivery Location); provided that at the request of Lessor and prior to redelivery, Lessee shall ferry the Aircraft from the Redelivery Location to an airport in the USA selected by Lessor (at Lessor’s cost and expense).
21.2Condition of Aircraft and the Aircraft Documents
On redelivery of the Aircraft and the Aircraft Documents to Lessor pursuant to this clause 21:
21.2.1the Aircraft shall be in such condition and all modifications and maintenance shall have been performed, and the Aircraft Documents (excepting any Aircraft Documents not provided by Lessor to Lessee at Delivery) shall be compiled and shall have been maintained, in such a manner as to demonstrate that Lessee has in all material respects complied with its obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and shall provide full Back to Birth Traceability of all LLPs;

(c)terminate the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement by written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and, in such case, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that it will have no further right to operate or possess the Aircraft but that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under the Transaction Documents will otherwise continue in full force and effect, provided that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clause 22.1.11, such termination shall occur with immediate effect and automatically without the need for any notice to Lessee or any other action;

22.4Liability and Payments
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and at any time thereafter (without prejudice to and whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall thereafter exercise, any of its other rights under the Transaction Documents or applicable law), Lessee shall indemnify Lessor on written demand against all Losses (including legal, professional and other expenses) payable or incurred by any Relevant Party directly or indirectly in connection with any Event of Default and/or the termination of the leasing of the Aircraft after the occurrence of an Event of Default including:
22.4.1in connection with any delay in Delivery;
22.4.2in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any Relevant Party’s rights and interests in and to the Aircraft or any part thereof or under any of the Transaction Documents including recovering possession of, storing, insuring, maintaining, repairing, de-registering or exporting the Aircraft, carrying out any works or modifications required to place the Aircraft in the condition required by clause 21 (including the Redelivery Conditions) or making a drawing under any letter of credit provided in connection with this Agreement;
22.4.3any loss of profit or other Losses suffered by any Relevant Party because of the inability to place the Aircraft on lease with another lessee on terms as favourable as the terms of the Transaction Documents or because whatever use, if any, to which the Aircraft can be put upon its return to Lessor (or the funds arising upon any sale, transfer or other disposal of the Aircraft or any rights or interests in and to
the Aircraft by any Relevant Party) is not as profitable as leasing the Aircraft in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents would have been;
22.4.4any interest, fees or other amounts whatsoever paid or payable on account of funds borrowed in order to carry any unpaid amount and any Loss, premium or penalty that may be incurred in repaying funds raised to finance the Aircraft or in unwinding any hedging agreement or other financial instrument relating in whole or in part to the financing of the Aircraft;
22.4.5any Loss sustained or incurred by any Relevant Party owing to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to maintain the Aircraft in accordance with this Agreement and/or redeliver the Aircraft in the condition required by this Agreement including any diminution in the residual value of the Aircraft; and
22.4.6any other amount which is required to put any Relevant Party, on an After-Tax Basis, in the same economic position as it would have been if the obligations of Lessee under the Transaction Documents were fully performed.
Lessor will use reasonable endeavours to mitigate such Losses and shall provide calculations (in reasonable detail) of any Loss in respect of any claim made under this clause 22.4, but Lessor shall not be obliged (a) to consult with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ concerning any proposed course of action or to notify the Lessee of the taking of any particular action, and (b) to disclose any of its tax and/or financial affairs which are confidential in nature.
The issuance by Lessor of a written demand to Lessee for any amount shall not preclude the issuance of further written demands by Lessor to Lessee for amounts which were not known, quantified or incurred at the time of previous demands or which were otherwise not included in previous demands.
If, at any time following execution of this Agreement, it is or will become unlawful in any relevant jurisdiction for Lessee or Lessor to perform or give effect to any of its material obligations under any Transaction Document (each such event, an Illegality Event) then, without prejudice to Lessor’s rights and remedies if an Event of Default occurs, each of Lessor and Lessee shall be entitled to terminate the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement by written notice to the other party, which termination shall take place no earlier than the date that Lessor determines will allow for the orderly performance of the remaining obligations under the Transaction Documents without Lessee or Lessor being in breach of applicable law. Upon such termination of the leasing of the Aircraft, Lessee will redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor in accordance with clause 21 (including the Redelivery Conditions). Without prejudice to the foregoing, upon becoming aware of an Illegality Event, Lessee and Lessor will consult in good faith as to any steps which may be taken (at Lessee’s and Lessor’s joint cost) to restructure the transaction on terms with the same commercial effect as the Transaction Documents to avoid such Illegality Event for a period of up to 30 days or, if shorter, a period ending on the date on which the leasing of the Aircraft is terminated.
23Assignment And Transfer
23.1No Lessee Assignment or Transfer

rights, title, interests or obligations under the Transaction Documents or in respect of the Aircraft or any part thereof to any other person (each such person a Transferee). If the purpose of any such transaction is to transfer the rights and obligations of Lessor or Owner or Owner Participant under the Transaction Documents and in and to the Aircraft, then the Transferee shall become Lessor or Owner or Owner Participant (as applicable) under the Transaction Documents from the time of such transfer; and
23.2.2grant a Security Interest to any Financing Party in or over any or all of the Aircraft or any part thereof and its right and interests under the Transaction Documents in connection with the financing or re-financing of the Aircraft under the Financing Documents.
▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents have been agreed in anticipation of the rights set out in this clause 23, and that each Relevant Party from time to time (and each person that was previously a Relevant Party) shall be entitled to rely on and shall be entitled to the benefit of the provisions of this clause 23. Lessee hereby consents in advance to any sale, assignment, novation, transfer, other disposition or grant of any Security Interest pursuant to this clause 23.2 if the same constitutes a transfer of any “associated rights” and the related International Interests for the purposes of the Cape Town Convention (including Article XV of the Protocol and Article 33(1) of the Convention).

Lessee hereby irrevocably appoints Lessor as ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s attorney-in-fact (which power shall be deemed coupled with an interest) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to take any action Lessor is allowed to take under this clause 24.12. Lessee shall indemnify Lessor on demand in respect of any reasonable Losses or other amounts (including reasonable legal costs) incurred or expended by Lessor or its representatives in connection with the exercise of its rights under this clause 24.12.
The Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto in relation to the leasing of the Aircraft by Lessor to Lessee, and supersede all previous proposals, agreements and other written and oral communications in relation thereto.
The parties intend and agree that for the purposes of all applicable laws (and for all tax and accounting purposes) this Agreement constitutes a true lease and not a Security Interest of any type (including a “security interest” as defined in Section 1-201(37) of the UCC) and confers only a leasehold interest on Lessee in and to the Aircraft on and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and Owner is the owner of the Aircraft and no ownership or other interest with respect to the Aircraft is provided to Lessee under any Transaction Document. Lessee shall not file any tax return that is inconsistent with the provisions of this clause 24.14.
Each of Lessor and Lessee shall, unless it has obtained the prior written consent of the other party, keep confidential the Transaction Documents and any information which is not generally available to the public furnished or made available to it pursuant to any Transaction Document, except for any disclosure made:
24.15.1to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law (including any valid order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or any request or requirement of a regulatory authority or recognised stock exchange which is binding on the disclosing party and any laws relating to Taxes and any related reporting or filing requirements);
24.15.2by Lessor or Lessee as part of its normal reporting or review procedure to its directors, shareholders, equity holders, Affiliates, auditors, insurers, existing or prospective investors, legal advisers or other professional advisers on terms which prohibit any further disclosure that would not be permitted by this clause 24.15;
24.15.3by Lessor or Lessee in order to enforce its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents;
24.15.4to any Relevant Party, Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or any prospective assignee, transferee or rating agency of any such person, so long as Lessor obtains an undertaking of confidentiality from such persons or such persons are subject to professional obligations to maintain such confidentiality.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, if any permitted disclosure will result in any Transaction Document or any information furnished or made available pursuant to any Transaction Document becoming publicly available, Lessor and Lessee shall
cooperate with each other and any relevant third party to ensure that the financial and material commercial terms of the Transaction Documents remain confidential to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
24.16Rights of Third Parties
Each Relevant Party, Indemnitee, Tax Indemnitee and Third Party Beneficiary may enforce the rights expressed to be conferred on it or for its benefit under the Transaction Documents together with any rights which are ancillary to such rights. However, the consent of any such person shall not be required for any variation or termination of any Transaction Document. Except as expressly provided in this clause 24.16, the terms of the Transaction Documents may be enforced only by the parties thereto. If it so elects, Lessor may enforce any right of any Relevant Party, Indemnitee, Tax Indemnitee and Third Party Beneficiary on its behalf.
Each of the parties to this Agreement represents and warrants to the other parties that it has not directly or indirectly paid (or agreed or caused to be paid) to any person any commission, brokerage fee, contingency fee or other similar amount, in connection with the Transaction Documents (or the establishment of the transactions contemplated thereby). ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to indemnify and hold ▇▇▇▇▇▇
harmless from any and all fees, commissions or other payments, if any, arising in connection with any brokers, finders or other agents retained by Lessee in connection with the Transaction Documents (or the establishment of the transactions contemplated thereby).
Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement shall pay its own expenses (including legal, tax and other out-of-pocket expenses) incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and entry into the Transaction Documents and the Delivery of the Aircraft, except that Lessee shall pay or reimburse Lessor or the applicable Relevant Party upon demand for the following, in each case on an After-Tax Basis and in the currency in which they are incurred:
24.18.1all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provision or satisfaction of the Lessor Conditions Precedent and the conditions subsequent set out in Part B of Schedule 4 (including the cost of any legal opinions);
24.18.2all fees, costs and expenses associated with maintaining the registration of the Aircraft and integrating the Aircraft into Lessee’s fleet and the provision of translations, registrations, notarisations, legalisations and/or other documentary formalities, if required;
24.18.3all stamp, documentary and other Taxes payable in connection with any of the foregoing, the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents or the leasing of the Aircraft, whether imposed on or required to be paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Lessor or any other person; and
24.18.4all fees costs and expenses (including fees of legal counsel or other advisers) incurred by any Relevant Party in connection with any amendment, supplement, waiver, consent or other modification of any Transaction Document (unless requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, other than in connection with mitigating the consequences of
any breach, Default or Event of Default under any Transaction Document by any person other than Lessor) or in connection with preservation or enforcement of the rights of any Relevant Party under the Transaction Documents or applicable law (including the repossession, de-registration and export of the Aircraft or any part thereof).
The rights of each Relevant Party under this clause 24.18 shall continue in full force and effect in favour of each such Relevant Party notwithstanding the termination of any Transaction Document and/or the leasing of the Aircraft hereunder for any reason whatsoever, any breach of any Transaction Document by any person or any other fact, event or circumstance of any kind whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations in respect of the registration of the Aircraft and perfection of Lessor’s interest in the Aircraft in the State of Registration and with the International Registry at Delivery (including attorney’s fees) will be subject to a cap of $10,000.

Schedule 10 Maintenance Rent
Part A Maintenance Rent Payments
Lessee shall pay Lessor, as Supplemental Rent, on each Maintenance Rent Date each of the following types of Maintenance Rent calculated, in each case, by reference to the relevant and then-current Maintenance Rent Rate and the utilization of the Aircraft in the preceding calendar month (or, in the case of the Maintenance Rent Date falling due (i) on the First Maintenance Rent Date, the utilization of the Aircraft or calendar time elapsed as applicable from (and including) the First Basic Rent Date to (and including) the last day of the month in which the First Basic Rent Date occurs (and any Maintenance Rent payable at a flat monthly rate shall be reduced, pro rata, for such number of days) and (ii) on the Expiry Date, the utilization of the Aircraft in each calendar month during the Lease Term for which Maintenance Rent has not been previously paid):
5an amount equal to the Maintenance Rent Rate for the Airframe 6Y Check for the immediately preceding calendar month;
6an amount equal to the Maintenance Rent Rate for the Airframe 12Y Check for the immediately preceding calendar month;
7in respect of each Engine, an amount equal to the product of the Maintenance Rent Rate for an Engine Performance Restoration Shop Visit for the immediately preceding calendar month and the number of Engine Flight Hours accumulated by such Engine in that same calendar month;
8in respect of the Engine LLPs of each Engine, an amount equal to the product of the Maintenance Rent Rate for Engine LLP Replacement Event for the immediately preceding calendar month and the number of Cycles accumulated by such Engine in that same calendar month;
9an amount equal to the Maintenance Rent Rate for the Landing Gear Overhaul for the immediately preceding calendar month; and
10an amount equal to the product of the Maintenance Rent Rate for the APU
Performance Restoration for the immediately preceding calendar month and the number of APU Hours accumulated by the APU in the that same calendar month.
Part B
Maintenance Rent Rate Adjustments
27Each of the Maintenance Rent Rates set out in Schedule 9 are expressed in January 1, 2025 Dollars and the then current Maintenance Rent Rates will be escalated (compounding annually) as follows:
27.1all Maintenance Rent Rates (except for the Maintenance Rent Rate relating to Engine LLP Replacement Events) will be increased by 3% per annum on each Annual Adjustment Date for the following 12 month period; and
27.2for each Engine, the Maintenance Rent Rate relating to Engine LLP Replacement Event will be adjusted on each date that the spare parts catalogue list price for the Engine LLPs is published to reflect increases in the Engine Manufacturer’s quoted list price relating to Engine LLPs within an Engine and to account for changes in the Manufacturer’s approved cyclic life limit of such Engine LLPs, calculated on the same basis as such Maintenance Rent Rate was calculated on the Delivery Date (but using the list prices and cyclic life limit on the relevant publication date).
2 For each Engine, the Base Engine Rate is based on an annual utilization of 1,200 Flight Hours an average engine derate of 10% and operation in IATA Area A (collectively, the Assumed Utilization). In addition to the annual escalation set forth in clause 1 of this Part B, if Lessor determines that the Engine’s operation differs from the Assumed Utilization or has been operated in a Harsh Environment, then Lessor may, in its sole discretion (acting reasonably) by written notice to Lessee, adjust the Base Engine Rate to reflect the actual utilization of the Aircraft and/or operations in such Harsh Environment. Following any such adjustment:
(a) the adjusted Base Engine Rate notified by Lessor to Lessee (the Adjusted Base Engine Rate) shall be deemed to be the Base Engine Rate (subject to the annual escalation set forth in clause 1 of this Part B) until such time as Lessor determines by written notice to Lessee that the Aircraft has resumed operations consistent with the Assumed Utilization; and
(b) to the extent that Lessor reasonably determines that any prior payments of Maintenance Rent relating to Engine Performance Restoration Shop Visit did not reflect the actual utilization of the Aircraft, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to the product of (i) the difference between the actual Base Engine Rate utilized to calculate such payments of Maintenance Rent and the Adjusted Base Engine Rate (as defined above); multiplied by (ii) the number of Flight Hours accumulated on the relevant Engine during the periods relating to such payments of Maintenance Rent. Each amount so paid by Lessee shall be treated as Maintenance Rent for an Engine Performance Restoration Shop Visit. Lessor shall notify Lessee of any amount payable by Lessee pursuant to this clause 2(b), which shall be payable no later than 10 Business Days after such notice is given by Lessor.
