(each individually referred to as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties").
WITNESSETH
(A)WHEREAS, the subject matter of this Agreement is the operating lease of one (1) Airbus A321-231 model aircraft with manufacturer’s serial number 1153 and more particularly described in Exhibit A (the “Aircraft”); and,
(B)WHEREAS, Lessee wishes to lease the Aircraft from Lessor and Lessor wishes to lease the Aircraft to Lessee.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of and subject to the mutual covenants, terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby agrees to lease to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby agrees to take on lease from Lessor, the Aircraft, and the Parties further agree as follows:
1.1Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to lease the Aircraft to Lessee on an operating lease and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to take the Aircraft on an operating lease from Lessor for the duration of the Lease Term. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement each of Lessor and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that this Agreement is an operating lease of the Aircraft and shall not in any way be construed as a financial arrangement or a finance lease under any applicable Law.
1.2Lessor will not have to deliver the Aircraft to Lessee if, on the Delivery Date, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will occur as a result of the Delivery.
1.3.1For the purposes of the Cape Town Convention, the Airframe is an "airframe" and an "aircraft object" and each Engine is an "aircraft engine" and an "aircraft object".
1.3.2Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lessor may assign the "associated rights" under the Security Assignment (or otherwise in favor of Financier), which "associated rights" consist of all rights to payment or other performance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (as debtor) under this Agreement and are "associated
with" the Airframe and the Engines. Any such assignment shall transfer to the assignee the related "International Interests" of Lessor.
1.3.3This Agreement constitutes an agreement for the registration of the Aircraft with the Aviation Authority, and such registration will be maintained pursuant to this Agreement.
2.1.1Lessor's obligation to deliver and lease the Aircraft to Lessee hereunder is subject to the satisfaction of the Lessor conditions precedent under section A of Exhibit B (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) hereto on or before the Delivery Date.
2.1.2Lessee's obligation to take delivery and lease the Aircraft from Lessor hereunder is subject to the satisfaction of the Lessee conditions precedent under section B of Exhibit B (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) hereto on or before the Delivery Date.
2.2Waiver and Termination
2.2.1If any condition precedent specified in Clause 2.1 (Conditions Precedent) is not satisfied upon the date the Aircraft is tendered for Delivery by Lessor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Party who is the beneficiary of such condition precedent may (at its sole option), waive or defer satisfaction thereof on such terms and for such period as it may determine and notify to the other Party in writing. If the Lessor defers any condition precedent set out in section A of Exhibit B (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) and the Lessee fails to provide such condition precedent within the timeframe stipulated by Lessor when granting the deferral, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default under Clause 23.1(f) (Events of Default).
2.2.2If any condition precedent(s) specified in Clause 2.1 (Conditions Precedent) is not satisfied upon the date the Aircraft is tendered for Delivery by Lessor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Party who is the beneficiary of such condition precedent(s) may (at its sole option), on fourteen (14) Business Days' prior written notice, terminate, this Agreement with immediate effect.
(a)Upon such termination by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, neither Party will thereafter have any further liability to the other except for those obligations which survive the termination or earlier cancellation of this Agreement.
(b)Upon such termination by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, neither Party will thereafter have any further liability to the other except: (i) for those obligations which survive the termination or earlier cancellation of this Agreement and (ii) that Lessor shall, within five (5) Business Days of such termination from Lessee, pay to Lessee an amount equal to the amount of the Security Deposit.
Lessor's obligation to continue leasing the Aircraft to Lessee hereunder is subject to the satisfaction of the Lessor conditions subsequent under section C of Exhibit B (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) hereto on or after the Delivery Date in the time required thereunder.
2.4Waiver and Termination of Conditions Subsequent
If any condition subsequent specified in Clause 2.3 (Conditions Subsequent) is not satisfied following the Delivery Date within the time required as set forth in such condition subsequent, Lessor may (at its sole option), waive or defer satisfaction thereof
on such terms and for such period as it may determine and notify Lessee in writing. If the Lessor defers any condition subsequent set out in section C, Exhibit B (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) and Lessee fails to provide such condition subsequent within the timeframe stipulated by Lessor when granting such deferral, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default under Clause 23.1(d) (Events of Default).
3.DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE
3.1.1The Delivery of the Aircraft is scheduled to take place at the Delivery Location on or before the Scheduled Delivery Date. Lessor will use good faith efforts to deliver the Aircraft as close to the Delivery Date as possible.
3.1.2Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lessor shall not be obliged to hand over to Lessee possession of the Aircraft unless and until: (i) all of the conditions precedent in section A of Exhibit B (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) shall have been satisfied by Lessee or deferred or waived by Lessor, and (ii) Lessee has complied with all of its obligations under the Agreement and the Transaction Documents in accordance with their terms.
3.1.3Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lessee shall not be obliged to take Delivery and possession of the Aircraft unless and until: (i) all of the conditions precedent in section B of Exhibit B concerning both Lessor and Lessee (Conditions Precedent and Subsequent) shall have been satisfied, deferred, or waived by the relevant Party, and (ii) both Lessor and Lessee have complied with all of their obligations under the Agreement and the Transaction Documents in accordance with their terms, but only to the extent such obligations are required prior to Delivery of the Aircraft.
3.2.1In the case of a delayed Delivery, neither Lessor nor any of the Lessor Indemnitees will be responsible for any Losses that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ suffers resulting from the Delivery taking place after the Scheduled Delivery Date or non- delivery of the Aircraft.
3.2.2Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Delivery of the Aircraft has not taken place on the Final Delivery Date for any reason other than due to an Event of Default by Lessee under this Agreement or an event of default by
Lessee (howsoever defined) which is continuing under the other Transaction Documents, Lessee may terminate this Agreement by serving written notice to the Lessor (i) at which time the obligations of each Party in relation to the leasing of the Aircraft will end from the date of that notice (other than those obligations which survive the termination or earlier cancellation of this Agreement) and Lessor will have no liability to Lessee arising from the non- Delivery of the Aircraft, and (ii) promptly thereafter Lessor shall pay to Lessee an amount equal to the amount of the Security Deposit that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has received from Lessee.
3.2.3Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Aircraft has not been delivered by the Final Delivery Date due to the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement or an event of default (howsoever defined) under the other Transaction Documents, which is continuing, in addition to any other remedies that the Lessor may have under and pursuant to this Agreement, including Clause 3.2.1 and Clause 23 (Default) of this Agreement, and the other Transaction Documents, Lessor may terminate this Agreement and the other Companion Agreements and neither Party will thereafter have any further liability to the other (other than those obligations which survive the termination or earlier
cancellation of this Agreement and the other Companion Agreements), except that, as liquidated damages, Lessor will not be obliged to pay Lessee an amount equal to the Security Deposit and the security deposit (howsoever defined) under each of the Companion Agreements. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the amount of the Security Deposit and the security deposit (howsoever defined) under each of the Companion Agreements has been determined taking into account the estimated Losses Lessor is likely to suffer following an Event of Default and as such the relief from obligation to pay an amount equal to the amount of the Security Deposit and the security deposit (howsoever defined) under each of the Companion Agreements following the occurrence of an Event of Default operates as a liquidated damages provision and not as a penalty. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has specifically considered the amount of the Security Deposit and the security deposit (howsoever defined) under each of the Companion Agreements and acknowledges and agrees that it is a reasonable estimation of Losses Lessor is likely to suffer as a result of an Event of Default.
3.2.4Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lessor shall not be liable for damages of any kind (including, but not limited to consequential damages) to Lessee or to any third party resulting from the late delivery of the Aircraft.
3.3Lessee Selection of Aircraft & Delivery Condition
3.3.1Lessee covenants to Lessor that it has used and is relying solely on its own judgment in selecting the Aircraft. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor is not a manufacturer, repairer or servicing agent of the Aircraft.
3.3.2The Delivery Condition is set out in Exhibit C (Delivery Procedure and Delivery Condition). The Aircraft will be delivered in the Delivery Condition but otherwise in an “As-is, Where-is” condition with all faults and is subject to each and every disclaimer of warranty and representation as set forth in Clause 10 (Waiver & Disclaimer) hereof, but the Lessee is not obliged to take delivery
of the Aircraft unless the Aircraft is materially in compliance with the Delivery Condition.
3.4.1On the Delivery Date, Lessee shall be permitted to perform one (1) general visual inspection on the Aircraft and such inspection shall be less than six (6) hours ground time (the “Delivery Inspection”). The Delivery Inspection shall be performed at Lessee’s cost and expense. Additionally, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be entitled to review historical technical records of the Aircraft starting upon the date of the signature of this Lease Agreement. Furthermore, from time to time, Lessee, with Lessor’s support, shall be permitted to conduct visual inspections of the Aircraft while it is undergoing pre-delivery maintenance. A test flight of not less than 2 hours’ duration and complete engine and APU BSI’s shall be performed by Lessor, with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as witness, as part of the Delivery Inspection.
3.4.2Lessee hereby undertakes to indemnify and hold each of Lessor and the other Lessor Indemnitees harmless from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses in respect to injury to or death or the loss of property of Lessee or any of Lessee’s employees or representatives when such damages, losses, costs and expenses arise due to Lessee’s gross negligence, wilful misconduct during or out of or in connection with the inspection and/or acceptance of the Aircraft.
3.4.3All representatives designated by Lessee to perform the Delivery Inspection of the Aircraft shall meet occupational health and safety and security requirements as the same are advised by Lessor or any party acting by or through Lessor at the
location of such inspections and the same shall not unreasonably interfere with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s performance of its obligations in connection with the conduct of return inspections conducted pursuant to a prior lease or Lessor’s inspection rights under any sale and purchase agreement (if any).
3.5.1Provided that Lessee notifies Lessor, in writing, promptly (but in no case later than within five (5) Business Days) after the inspection of any reasonable defect or non-conformity with the Delivery Condition, Lessor will correct or procure the correction of all defects and non-conformities as it finds reasonable in its sole discretion as promptly as possible. Lessor (in consultation with Lessee) may postpone the Delivery of the Aircraft (including the Scheduled Delivery Date and the Final Delivery Date) to the date as may be mutually agreed between the Parties, once the Lessor notifies Lessee, in writing, that the defect or non-conformity has been rectified. Lessee shall use its best efforts to provide Lessor with such notice of non-conformity as set out above, however Lessee may identify open items up to the day of Delivery but in doing so acknowledges that any delay in Delivery as a result of such late notification shall not give rise to the right of Lessee to terminate this Agreement nor have any right to compensation for delayed Delivery. Provided however that the time taken by the Lessor for such correction and delivery shall be reasonable and shall be communicated in writing, promptly to the Lessee by the Lessor.
3.5.2Lessee will be entitled, by written notice to Lessor, to terminate this Agreement if Lessor notifies it that Lessor does not intend to correct any one defect or non- conformity costing more than $1 million USD to rectify, and neither Party will thereafter have any further liability to the other except that, Lessor will pay to Lessee an amount equal to the Security Deposit. The notice of intention not to correct the defect of non-conformity needs to be notified to Lessee in writing by Lessor within five (5) days of such decision being made. Such written notice of termination must be given by Lessee within three (3) Business Days of the date of receipt by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of the notification that Lessor does not intend to correct the defect or non-conformity.
3.6Acceptance of the Aircraft
3.6.1Subject to Clause 3.6.4 below, the acceptance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the actual Delivery of the Aircraft (the “Certificate of Acceptance”) shall take place at the Delivery Location, and shall be evidenced by the delivery by Lessee to Lessor of the signed Certificate of Acceptance. Subject to any exception items listed in the Certificate of Acceptance, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s execution of the Certificate of Acceptance is evidence of the non-conditional and irrevocable satisfaction of Lessee with the condition of the Aircraft and the full compliance with the Delivery Condition. Any deficiencies from the Delivery Condition and rectification agreements (if any) shall be recorded in the Certificate of Acceptance between Lessor and Lessee.
3.6.2The technical acceptance by Lessee of the Aircraft (the “Technical Acceptance”) shall take place at the Delivery Location and shall be evidenced by the delivery by Lessee to Lessor of the signed Technical Acceptance Certificate. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s execution of the Technical Acceptance Certificate is evidence of the non-conditional and irrevocable satisfaction of Lessee with the condition of the Aircraft and the full compliance with the Delivery Condition. Any deficiencies from the Delivery Condition and rectification agreements (if any) shall be recorded in the Technical Acceptance Certificate and in a letter agreement between Lessor and Lessee.
3.6.3Following the Technical Acceptance of the Aircraft by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Lessee shall take
Delivery of the Aircraft. The Delivery acceptance by Lessee of the Aircraft shall be evidenced by the delivery by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to Lessor of the signed Certificate of Acceptance, and the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement shall commence.
3.6.4▇▇▇▇▇▇'s obligation to pay Rent and all other amounts under this Agreement shall commence on the date the Certificate of Acceptance is executed by both parties (the "Rent Commencement Date").
Lessee shall (re)code the ELT as soon as the Aircraft has changed the registration and in any case prior to any commercial operation. If the operation will continue on the same registration as when delivered, the registered operator shall be changed with the Aviation Authority prior to any operation of the Aircraft. Lessee may request Lessor to recode ELT post registration at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole cost and expense.
3.8Total Loss before Delivery
Should the Aircraft suffer a Total Loss prior to the Delivery, this Agreement shall be terminated at which point neither Party will thereafter have any further liability to the other except that Lessor shall pay to Lessee promptly an amount equal to the amount of the Security Deposit, which Lessor has received from Lessee.
3.9Risk of Loss following Delivery
Upon Delivery of the Aircraft all risk of loss associated with the Aircraft shall pass to the Lessee.
Following signature of the Certificate of Acceptance and acceptance of the Aircraft by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, all risk of loss or damage to the Aircraft shall pass to Lessee for the duration of the Lease Term.
4.LEASE TERM AND TERMINATION
The term of the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement commences on the Delivery Date and continues for the duration of the Lease Term until the Expiration Date.
Following the Expiration Date, the Aircraft shall be input for conversion to freighter configuration (“Conversion”). Following completion of Conversion and issuance of a certificate of return to service by the conversion facility, Lessee shall accept delivery of the Aircraft pursuant to a second lease for the Aircraft (the “Freighter Lease”), which shall be executed promptly by the Parties after the execution of this Agreement.
This Agreement terminates either on the Scheduled Expiration Date or on such other date on which the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement may be cancelled, terminated or extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Expiration Date”) or mutual agreement of the Parties in writing.
5.1.1▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges receipt of the First Instalment of the Security Deposit. Lessee shall pay to Lessor the Second Instalment and the Third Instalment of the Security Deposit in cash in accordance with Exhibit N (Lease Specific Terms).
5.1.2The Security Deposit shall be non-refundable except that the Security Deposit shall be refunded to the Lessee within five (5) business days in the event that (a) Lessee or Lessor does not obtain the final approval of their respective board of directors or other governing body by the Cutoff Date; or (b) notwithstanding good faith efforts, Lessor and Lessee fail to execute this Lease by the Cutoff Date; or (c) [omitted]; or (d) there is a Total Loss of the Aircraft prior to the
Delivery Date or as provided under Section 20.3.4; or (e) Lessor fails to Deliver the Aircraft in the Delivery Condition within ninety (90) days of the Final Delivery Date. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon expiration of the Lease any part of the Security Deposit that has not been retained by Lessor to pay any outstanding Lessee obligations shall be retained by Lessor and applied to the deposit for the Freighter Lease. Lessee shall not have any right to interest that may accrue on the Security Deposit during the Lease Term. Lessor shall be entitled to commingle the Security Deposit with ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s general or other funds, and Lessor will not hold any such funds as agent or on trust for Lessee in any similar fiduciary capacity.
5.1.3The Security Deposit is the sole, absolute and unconditional property of Lessor and Lessee is not entitled to any lien, charge or encumbrance over any part of the Security Deposit.
5.1.4The Security Deposit shall be held by Lessor as security for the performance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under this Agreement, the Companion Agreements, any Transaction Documents and any other agreement between Lessor and/or Owner, on the one hand, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇, on the other hand. To the extent that in any jurisdiction the Security Deposit would be held to be the property of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a Lien in the same to secure performance of Lessee's obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and, thereafter, the obligations of Lessee under any Companion Agreement and Lessee shall, from time to time (except as agreed herein), execute and file with the appropriate Governmental Authorities any and all documents necessary or reasonably requested by Lessor to evidence and perfect such security interest in favor of Lessor with respect to the Security Deposit.
5.2Security Deposit and Event of Default
5.2.1If an Event of Default by Lessee has occurred and is continuing hereunder, under any of the Companion Agreements, or any of the other Transaction Documents, Lessor may set-off against, use, apply or retain all or any portion of the Security Deposit and the security deposit under each of the Companion Agreements in full or partial payment for sums due to: (i) Lessor by Lessee under and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and/or (ii) the Lessor by Lessee under and in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Companion Agreements, to compensate Lessor under this Agreement, the Companion Agreements and/or the other Transaction Documents for any sums it may in its reasonable discretion pay out as a result of an Event of Default, or as liquidated damages apply toward losses or expenses Lessor or any Lessor Indemnitee may suffer or incur under this Agreement, the Companion Agreements and/or the other Transaction Documents as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default by Lessee hereunder under any of the Companion Agreements or under other Transaction Documents.
5.2.2If Lessor sets-off, uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit and/or the security deposit (howsoever defined) under each of the Companion Agreements such set-off or application shall be deemed a cure of an Event of
Default upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s deposit with Lessor in cash of an amount sufficient to fully restore the Security Deposit and/or the security deposit (howsoever defined) under the Companion Agreements to its original sum required under this Agreement within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand therefore and the failure of Lessee to do so is a material breach of this Agreement and the Companion Agreements by Lessee.
7.1.1The Lease Term shall be divided into successive periods (each a “Rent Period”)
in respect of which Rent shall accrue and be payable.
7.1.2The first Rent Period shall commence on the Delivery Date, (the “Rent Commencement Date”) and each subsequent Rent Period shall commence on the date immediately following the last day of the previous Rent Period.
7.1.3Each Rent Period shall be of one calendar month’s duration except that, with respect to the final Rent Period, if it would not otherwise end on the Expiry Date, it shall end on the Expiry Date. In the case of the final Rent Period, the Basic Rent shall, if necessary, be pro-rated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month.
During the Lease Term, Lessee shall pay the Rent to Lessor for the leasing of the Aircraft.
7.3.1The Rent is payable monthly in advance and due on the first (1st) day of each calendar month (the “Rent Due Date”). If the Rent Due Date is not a Business Day, the Rent shall be payable on the Business Day immediately preceding such Rent Due Date.

8.1.1All payments by Lessee under this Agreement (including the Security Deposit, Rent, Maintenance Reserves, Past Due Interest, fees and indemnities) shall be made in full in U.S. Dollars, without any deduction or withholding whether in respect of setoff, counterclaim, duties, or Taxes imposed in the State of
Registration or any jurisdiction from which such payments are made unless Lessee is prohibited by Law from doing so, in which event Lessee shall (i) gross up the payment amount such that the net payment received by Lessor after any deduction or withholding equals the amounts called for under this Agreement and (ii) do all of the following:
(a)ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required under Law;
(b)pay to the relevant Governmental Authority within the period for payment permitted by Law the full amount of the deduction or withholding (including the full amount of any deduction or withholding from any additional amount paid pursuant hereto); and
(c)furnish to Lessor, within sixty (6) days after each payment, an official receipt of the relevant Governmental Authority involved for all amounts so deducted or withheld, if available.
Subject to Section 9.1, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from any Taxes or related claims, losses, or liabilities arising as a result of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 8.1. In the event that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has paid any additional amount pursuant to this Section 8.1 in respect of Taxes which are excluded from indemnification hereunder pursuant to Section 9.1, Lessor will reimburse Lessee for the amount of such excluded Taxes paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, together with such additional amount.
8.1.2Lessee shall also furnish to Lessor as soon as reasonably possible following a written request from Lessor an official receipt of the relevant Governmental Authorities involved (if applicable) or provide other evidence of the payment for all amounts so deducted or withheld.
8.1.3Lessee waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under this Agreement in a currency other than that in which such amount is expressed to be payable.
8.2.1All amounts payable by the Lessee under this Agreement shall be paid in full in immediately available U.S. Dollars, without any set-off, counterclaim or any deduction or withholding. This Agreement is a net lease and except as otherwise contemplated herein ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligation to pay Rent, Maintenance Reserves and make other payments in accordance with this Agreement is absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and no amount expressed to be payable by Lessee under this Agreement shall cease to be payable or be suspended or the amount thereof be reduced by reason of any circumstance whatsoever, including the following:
(a)any right of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defence or other right (including any right of reimbursement) which Lessee may have against Lessor, any other Lessor Indemnitee, a prior lessee, any Manufacturer or any other Person for any reason;
(b)unavailability or interruption in use of the Aircraft for any reason, including a requisition thereof or any prohibition or interference with or other restriction against Lessee’s use, operation or possession of the Aircraft (whether by Law or otherwise) (other than due to a breach by Lessor or anybody lawfully claiming through Lessor of Clause 13.7 (Quiet Enjoyment)), any defect (whether discoverable or not) in airworthiness, merchantability, fitness for any purpose, condition, design, specification or operation of any kind or nature of the Aircraft, the ineligibility of the Aircraft for any particular use or trade or for registration under the Laws of any jurisdiction or a Total Loss of the Aircraft (until such time when Lessee is in full compliance with the requirements of Clause 20.3 (Total Loss of Aircraft) hereof);

8.2.3▇▇▇▇▇▇ expressly acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in this Clause
8.2 in any way (i) modifies, limits or diminishes any covenant or obligation of Lessor under this Agreement or (ii) in any way restricts any other rights of Lessee to pursue any remedies which it may have (at law or in equity) against Lessor to seek a recovery of any payment of Rent or any other amount which is not due and payable hereunder or to pursue any rights or remedies it may possess in the event of a failure by Lessor to perform its covenants and obligations under this Agreement.

If Lessor has not received the Rent, Maintenance Reserves or any other amount on their respective due dates as set out herein, Lessor will suffer loss and damages, the exact nature and amount of which are difficult or impossible to ascertain. Lessee shall pay to Lessor
on demand from time to time interest at the Past Due Interest Rate (both before and after judgment) (by way of agreed compensation and not as a penalty) on any due and unpaid amounts payable by Lessee under this Agreement from the due date to the date of payment in full by Lessee to Lessor. All such interest will be calculated on straight line basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year.
Where, under any provision of this Agreement, Lessor is obliged to make any payment to Lessee, Lessor may set off, deduct or withhold from such payment any amount then due and payable as set out herein but unpaid by Lessee to Lessor or any of the other Lessor Indemnitees, on a case by case basis, and by so doing does not waive the Net Lease provisions of this Lease. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has not received the amount due hereunder from the Lessor, Lessor shall pay to Lessee on demand from time to time interest at the Past Due Interest Rate on any due and unpaid amounts payable by Lessor under this Agreement from the due date to the date of payment in full by Lessor to Lessee. All such interest will be calculated on the straight-line basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year.
9.1.1Lessee shall on demand pay and indemnify the Lessor Indemnitees against all Taxes of whatsoever nature (including penalties) levied or imposed against or upon Lessee or the Lessor Indemnitees and relating to or attributable to Lessee, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or the Aircraft directly or indirectly in connection with the, maintenance, service, repair, overhaul, delivery, possession, storage, moderation, leasing, subleasing, inspection, refurbishment, replacement, transportation, testing, use, operation, registration
or redelivery of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, any Landing Gear or any Part, but excluding any Taxes to the extent that such Taxes (based on the Laws in force at the date hereof):
(a)arise as a direct result of the gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud of such Lessor Indemnitee;
(b)are imposed as a result of a Lessor Lien attributable to that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇;
(c)are imposed with respect to any period commencing or event occurring after the Aircraft has been redelivered to Lessor in accordance with Clause 22 (Redelivery) and is no longer subject to this Agreement unless such Tax is attributable to any act, omission, event or circumstance which occurred during the Lease Term;
(d)arise from the breach by such Lessor Indemnitee of this Agreement but excluding any such breach which has been caused by any Event of Default;
(e)are imposed or levied on or measured by or with respect to the net income, profits or gains of that Lessor Indemnitee by any Governmental Authority in any jurisdiction of incorporation or tax residence of that Lessor Indemnitee; but excluding any Tax imposed by any government or taxing authority of any jurisdiction if and to the extent that such Tax results from the use, operation, presence or registration of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part in the jurisdiction imposing the Tax;
(f)are imposed solely as a result of an event having occurred before the
commencement of the Lease Term;
(g)are imposed in connection with the voluntary sale, transfer, assignment (whether legal or equitable) or other disposition by Lessor of any of its rights with respect to the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part pursuant to this Agreement except where such sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition occurs on an Event of Default; or,
(h)arises as a direct result of such Lessor Indemnitee's delay or failure to file any tax return or similar (including any required associated document), except, in either case, to the extent that any such delay or failure is caused by the negligence or default of Lessee or any breach by Lessee of any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents.
The excluded Taxes under points (a) – (h), shall hereafter collectively be
referred to as “Lessor Taxes”.
9.1.2Nothing in this Clause 9.1 shall interfere with the right of Lessor to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, but without limitation, Lessor shall not be under any obligation to claim credit, relief, remission or repayment from or against its corporate profits or similar Tax liability in respect of the amount of any such deduction or withholding in
priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to Lessor or oblige Lessor or any Affiliates of Lessor to disclose any information relating to its Tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof.
9.2 VAT
Lessee will pay to Lessor or the relevant tax authority (as applicable) the amount of any value added tax and any consumption, goods and services, sales or turnover tax, imposition or levy of a similar nature or any charges of a similar kind made (together “VAT”) in respect of any supply for VAT purposes in any jurisdiction under any of the Transaction Documents. Each amount stated as payable by Lessee under the Transaction Documents is exclusive of VAT (if any) and if VAT is payable in respect of any amount, the Lessee shall pay all such VAT in addition to each amount stated as payable by Lessee hereunder and shall indemnify Lessor against any claims for the same (and where appropriate the Lessee shall increase the payments which would otherwise be required to be made hereunder so that the Lessor is left in the same position as it would have been had not VAT been payable). Lessee shall provide evidence to Lessor, if available, in respect of payment of any such VAT, as well as a copy of all documentation, if any, filed the State of Registration by Lessee in order to comply with any EU VAT reverse charge rule, if applicable.
Each amount payable by Lessee under and pursuant to this Agreement (including any indemnity payable pursuant to this Clause 9) shall be paid on an After-Tax Basis.
If a Lessor Indemnitee has obtained and is entitled to retain a credit against, or relief from, or has received or obtained any other Tax benefit in respect of any Taxes payable by that Lessor Indemnitee for which it has been indemnified against by Lessee or in respect of which an increased payment has been made by Lessee under Clause 9 (Taxes), then Lessor shall procure that the relevant Lessor Indemnitee, using reasonable efforts promptly after realising and retaining the benefit of such credit or relief or Tax benefit, pays to Lessee an amount to be determined by that Lessor Indemnitee (acting reasonably) which, after taking account of any further Tax liability and Tax savings or benefit incurred or realised as a result of the payment thereof, is equal to the amount of such credit, relief or Tax
benefit provided that: (a) any such payment shall leave that Lessor Indemnitee in no more and no less favorable a position than it would have been in if the Taxes paid or indemnified against under Clause 9 (Taxes) had not been imposed, assessed, levied or asserted or required to be deducted or withheld and further;
(b) that Lessor Indemnitee shall not be obliged to arrange its Tax or other affairs in any particular way or to claim or to allocate any credit, relief or benefit received by it to any Taxes or liability to Tax referred to above in priority to any other matter which may entitle it to any credit, relief or benefit, or to disclose any records or affairs of Lessee; and (c) that Lessor Indemnitee shall not be under any obligation to take or to continue to take any action under this Clause 9 (Taxes) so long as Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Lessor will promptly notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇ after becoming aware that a claim has been made against any Lessor Indemnitee for Taxes in respect of which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is obliged to indemnify under this Agreement. If Lessee disputes the payment of any Taxes demanded from any Lessor Indemnitee for which Lessee is responsible under this Agreement, Lessor will consider (and will procure that any other Lessor Indemnitee considers) in good faith with Lessee the taking of such action as Lessee may reasonably request (at ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s cost and expense) to contest that payment (having regard, in respect of each Financier, to the provisions of the relevant finance documents relating to the Aircraft) and if the relevant Lessor Indemnitee reasonably determines that such action should be taken as aforesaid, Lessor will (and will procure that any other Lessor Indemnitee considers) take such action or, if Lessor so agrees, Lessee shall be entitled to take such action in the name of the relevant Lessor Indemnitee, provided that:
9.4.1no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;
9.4.2that such payment is being contested in good faith and supported by legal opinion of counsel satisfactory to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (acting reasonably) to the effect that a reasonable basis exists for contesting such payment;
9.4.3that such payment is being contested by appropriate proceedings and the non- payment of which does not give rise to any material likelihood of the Aircraft or any interest therein being sold, forfeited or otherwise lost or of criminal liability on the part of any Lessor Indemnitee;
9.4.4no such action may be taken by Lessee or shall be required to be taken by such Lessor Indemnitee unless adequate provision in respect of the payment and any associated costs or expenses has been made by Lessee; and,
9.4.5Lessee shall indemnify Lessor in full on demand in respect of any fees, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by Lessor in connection with any action taken by Lessor or Lessee as aforesaid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Clause 9.5, no Lessor Indemnitee will be obliged to take any action as set out in the foregoing sentence if (i) that Lessor Indemnitee considers (acting reasonably) such action may prejudice its interest materially; or (ii) that Lessor Indemnitee considers (acting reasonably) such action does not have a reasonable prospect of success; or (iii) the payment of Taxes by Lessee involves a sum of less than US$20,000 (or any equivalent amount in another currency).
The respective obligations of Lessee under this Clause 9 shall remain in full force and effect, for the period that the relevant tax authority has a right to make a claim against Lessee or Lessor Indemnitees in respect of items that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has indemnified Lessor
Indemnitees against herein, notwithstanding the expiration, earlier cancellation or termination of this Agreement.

Title to the Aircraft during the Lease Term shall remain vested in Owner. Lessee has no right, title or interest in or to the Aircraft except as provided under this Agreement.
Lessee shall, on all occasions when the ownership of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part is relevant, make clear to third parties that title is held by the Owner subject to the Mortgage and other additional security granted in favor of the Financier.
11.2Identification Plates
11.2.1Lessor shall affix, at its expense, and Lessee shall, at its expense, at all times maintain on the Airframe and each Engine an identification plate (of a size no smaller than 2” x 3”) containing the following legends or any other legend requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in writing:
(a)
"THIS AIRCRAFT IS OWNED BY BANK OF UTAH, NOT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, BUT SOLELY AS OWNER TRUSTEE, AND IS SUBJECT TO A FIRST PRIORITY MORTGAGE IN FAVOR OF INTERNATIONAL BANK OF COMMERCE AS SECURITY TRUSTEE AND SUBJECT TO AN AIRCRAFT LEASE AGREEMENT WITH GLOBAL CROSSING AIRLINES, INC."
(b)
"THIS ENGINE IS OWNED BY BANK OF UTAH, NOT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, BUT SOLELY AS OWNER TRUSTEE, AND IS SUBJECT TO A FIRST PRIORITY MORTGAGE IN FAVOR OF
INTERNATIONAL BANK OF COMMERCE AS SECURITY TRUSTEE AND SUBJECT TO AN AIRCRAFT LEASE AGREEMENT WITH GLOBAL CROSSING AIRLINES, INC."
11.2.2If at any time Lessor or Owner transfers any of its interests in the Aircraft or this Agreement as permitted hereunder or Owner finances or refinances the Aircraft, Lessee shall, at Lessor’s request and cost, promptly affix such identification plates to the Airframe and each Engine as may be required by Lessor.
11.2.3Additionally, Lessee shall, at its expense, at all times maintain a record in the logbook for each Engine evidencing that the respective Engine is owned by Owner and, if Owner finances or refinances the Aircraft and grants a Mortgage over it, is subject to the Mortgage in favor of the Financier.
Subject to U.S. GAAP standards, the Aircraft may not be entered as Lessee’s asset in its company accounting or annual report nor may the Aircraft be listed as Lessee’s asset in any report of the company. Should the Laws of the country of Lessee require the value of the Aircraft to be entered as asset and the remaining Rent entered as liabilities in the annual accounting or report of Lessee, the annual report must clearly stipulate that the asset of the value of the Aircraft has been entered solely to comply with the Laws of that country with respect to such accounting and that it in no way constitutes any claim of the Aircraft ownership, which shall at all times remain with Owner.

Lessee shall not change the registration in the State of Registration without prior written consent from Lessor.
11.4.5Lessee shall ensure that the original certificate of registration for the Aircraft is kept on the Aircraft or, where it is permitted to be removed, in safe custody. Lessee shall at all times during the Lease Term ensure the registration of the Aircraft in the State of Registration unless otherwise agreed in writing by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
11.4.6Lessee shall ensure that Lessor at all times during the Lease Term is in the possession of a copy of the then current certificate of registration of the Aircraft, the then current Certificate of Airworthiness and the valid ARC (if applicable).

11.5Mortgage Registration
11.5.1Lessee shall at Lessor’s cost facilitate the registration or notation of any mortgage with the Aviation Authority or any change in the registration as may be requested by Lessor.

Lessor and Lessee shall ensure that they have Transaction User Entity accounts with the International Registry and shall provide all authorizations and consents for the designated Professional User Entity for the registration
of Lessee and Lessor interests in the Aircraft and in this Lease on the International Registry. If applicable, Lessee shall file an IDERA with the Aviation Authority and complete all the relevant registrations and filings in the State of Registration with the Aviation Authority in order to protect the respective rights and interests of Lessor, Owner and Financier in connection with the Aircraft under the Cape Town Convention.
11.7Registration Evidence
To the extent received by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor evidence of the registrations and filings required under this Clause 11, for both the filings with the State of Registration and registrations with the International Registry. Lessor shall be responsible for all costs associated with perfecting the Lease in the State of Registration and the International Registry.
Lessee shall not, directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien on or with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Aircraft,
any Engine or any other Aircraft Item, title thereto or any interest therein, except Permitted Liens.
If Lessee creates or allows the creation by third parties of a lien other than a Permitted Lien, Lessee shall promptly take such steps as are required to procure the immediate release thereof and if at any time the interests of Lessor, Owner or Financier are jeopardized by such lien, Lessor, Owner or Financier may cause the Lien to be removed. Lessee shall pay any expenses incurred by Lessor, Owner Financier or any other Lessor Indemnitee in connection with such removal.
13.1.1Lessee is responsible and shall indemnify the Lessor Indemnitees for all costs in connection with the possession and operation of the Aircraft during the Lease Term and the Redelivery of the Aircraft, (including the costs of flight crews, cabin personnel, fuel, oil, lubricants, maintenance, insurance, storage, landing and navigation fees, airport charges, and any and all other expenses of any kind or nature, directly or indirectly, in connection with or related to the use, movement and operation of the Aircraft).

13.3.2Lessee shall not permit or cause the Aircraft to be:
(a)used in any manner or business, which is illegal, nor knowingly carry

from Lessor, reimburse Lessor for the reasonable legal and out-of-pocket fees and expenses in connection therewith subject to a maximum of US$50,000 or less per sublease proposal (unless such sublease proposal involves a change in registration of the Aircraft in which case, Lessor and Lessee shall use reasonable efforts to agree on the amount of any fees to be incurred in excess of such amount).
15.1Permanent Replacement
15.1.1Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, Lessee shall not without the prior written consent of Lessor permanently replace any of the Engines, APU, or Landing Gear.
15.1.2In case of a permanent replacement (as permitted under this Agreement) of any of the Engines, such replacement engine shall be free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens specified in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of the definition thereof), have a value and utility at least equal to, and be in as good operating condition as, the replaced Engine, based on but not limited to (i) Cycles accumulated on each Engine LLP, (ii) Flight Hours accumulated since new (and accumulated since completion of the most recent shop visit if a shop visit has previously been accomplished), (iii) the number of previous Overhauls/performance restorations and (iv) modification and build standard
assuming such Engine was of the value and utility and in the condition and repair as required by the terms hereof immediately prior to such replacement.
15.1.3Lessor is entitled, on five (5) days' prior written notice, at Lessor’s expense to inspect such candidate for the replacement engine (the “Candidate Engine”), which may include, at the option of Lessor and in Lessor’s presence, (i) a full
360 borescope inspection of the reduction gearbox, accessory gearbox, compressor (cold section), turbine and combustion sections of the replacement engine, as applicable, (ii) maximum power assurance runs on the Candidate Engine and (iii) a full records inspection including review of all Back to Birth documentation relating to the Candidate Engine, and the results of each such inspection shall be satisfactory to Lessor.

Furthermore, all Life Limited Parts shall demonstrate full ‘back to birth’ traceability, acceptable to Lessor, engine shop visit report from the most recent performance restoration, the last 12 months engine trend monitoring data and technical log showing installation and removal history. Upon Lessor’s full review and inspection of the Candidate Engine, Lessor shall provide Lessee with written notice of its decision within seven (7) days whether to accept the Candidate Engine as the permanent replacement engine and in the event that the Lessor accepts the Candidate Engine, Lessee may proceed with Section 15.1.4 and 15.1.5 of this Agreement. In the event that Lessor shall reject the Candidate Engine, Lessor may either elect an acceptable engine as the next Candidate Engine or allow Lessee to choose the next Candidate Engine itself to be inspected to serve as a permanent replacement engine.
15.1.4Upon replacement in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 15, such replacement engine shall be deemed to be an "Engine" as defined herein for all purposes hereunder. Lessee shall take such action and execute and deliver such documents, including a bill of sale, a supplement hereto and legal opinions, as Lessor may reasonably request in order that title to any such replacement Engine and any related warranties is duly and properly vested in the name of Owner and leased hereunder to the same extent as any Engine replaced thereby.
15.1.5In case of a permanent replacement (as permitted under this Agreement) of the APU, Landing Gear or Parts, the replacement APU, landing gear or part shall be free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens specified in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of the definition thereof), have a value and utility at least equal to, and be in as good operating condition as the replaced APU Landing Gear or Part, based on but not limited to (i) Cycles accumulated on each Life Limited Part, (ii) Flight Hours accumulated since new (and accumulated since completion of the most recent shop visit if a shop visit has previously been accomplished) (iii) number of previous Overhauls and (iv) modification and build standard, assuming such replacement APU, landing gear, or part was of the value and utility and in the condition and repair as required by the terms hereof immediately prior to such replacement. The replacement APU, landing gear or part shall have documentation certifying compliance with all applicable requirements stipulated by the OEM, FAA, the state of manufacture and the Aviation Authority. Furthermore, all Life Limited Parts shall demonstrate full ‘back to birth’ traceability, acceptable to Lessor.
15.1.6Lessor is, on five (5) days' prior written notice, entitled to inspect such APU, landing gear or part (the landing gear inspection only, at Lessor’s expense), which may include, at the option of Lessor, a records inspection, and the results of such inspection shall be satisfactory to Lessor.
15.1.7Lessee shall not install PMA Parts on the Aircraft at any time, except the
(a)PMA Parts which are manufactured under licence by the OEM as such PMA Parts are deemed acceptable for installation on the Aircraft; and,
(b)During the Lease Term only,
(i)low value PMA soft furnishings that do not require burn certificates underFAA guidelines; and,
may be temporarily installed in the cabin which must be replaced with serviceable OEM parts on or prior to Redelivery.
(c)Lessee shall not install DER repaired Part without Lessor’s prior written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
15.1.8Upon replacement in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 15, such replacement APU, landing gear or part, as the case may be, is deemed to be an
“APU”, "Landing Gear" or "Part", as the case may be, as defined herein for all purposes hereunder. Lessee shall take such action and execute and deliver such documents as Lessor may reasonably request in order that any such replacement APU, landing gear or part, as the case may be, is duly and properly titled in the name of Owner and leased hereunder to the same extent as any APU, Landing Gear or Part, as the case may be, replaced thereby.
15.2Title to Replaced Aircraft Items
Any Engine, APU, Landing Gear or Part removed from the Aircraft shall remain the property of Owner and subject to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, no matter where located, until such time as such Engine, APU, Landing Gear or Part has been permanently replaced by an Engine, APU, Landing Gear or Part which has been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft pursuant to the requirements for replacement as per this Clause 15, at which time title to such replacement Engine, APU, Landing Gear or part shall be vested in Owner and title to the replaced Engine, APU, Landing Gear or Part removed from the Aircraft shall be vested in Lessee (subject to the rights that any insurer may have), in each case without any further action on the part of Lessee, Lessor or Owner.
15.3Temporary Replacement of Parts
Notwithstanding the provisions of Clauses 15.1 (Permanent Replacement) and 15.2 (Title to Replaced Aircraft Items) hereof, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time during the Lease Term Lessee shall be permitted to temporarily replace any Engine, APU, Landing Gear or Part (whether or not worn out, unserviceable, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use) and install, or permit the installation of, any engine, APU, landing gear or part on the Aircraft by way of replacement to facilitate the maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing; provided that Lessee shall as soon as practicable either reinstall or replace such Engine, APU, Landing Gear or Part pursuant to this Clause 15 (Replacement of Parts).
15.4Alterations, Modifications and Additions
15.4.1Except as otherwise required or permitted by this Agreement, Lessee shall not make any alteration, modification or addition to the Aircraft (including interior configuration, galleys, lavatories or avionics) other than those:
(a)that may be required to comply with its obligations under any applicable Airworthiness Directive, Mandatory Service Bulletin or Service Bulletin;
(b)subject to Clause 15.4.2 below, that may be required from time to time to meet the applicable standards of the Aviation Authority, or to comply with any applicable Law, rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority or of the manufacturer of the Aircraft, Engines or Parts; or,
(c)for which it has obtained the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇; provided, however, (notwithstanding Lessor having given such consent) Lessor shall provide prior written notice no less than sixty (60) days’ prior to
the Expiration Date to Lessee and at its sole option, to restore the Aircraft to the condition it was in prior to the accomplishment of any such alteration, modification or addition, assuming such condition was in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. However, if the Lease Term ends on a date other than the Scheduled Expiration Date, the Lessor’s option to require such alteration, modification or addition to be removed is exercisable without prior written notice.
15.4.2Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Clause 15.4.1(b) above, any alteration, modification or addition to the Aircraft as contemplated by Clause 15.4.1(b) above and if conditionally approved by Lessor, shall be reversed (other than those items in Clause 15.4.1(a) above) at Redelivery if Lessor is of the opinion that the modifications impair marketability, value or FAA compliance. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing ninety (90) days prior to Redelivery of need to reverse any alteration, modification or addition to Aircraft contemplated in Clause 15.4.1(b) above.
15.5.1Subject to the provisions hereof, Lessee shall procure that title to all parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Aircraft as the result of any alteration, modification or addition (but excluding any parts installed on a temporary basis (i) in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) in accordance with the terms of any part/component pooling arrangements between the Lessee and its maintenance performer where such part is installed temporarily for short term requirements) shall, without further act, vest in Owner, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), and shall thereafter be deemed a Part and become subject to this Agreement.
15.5.2Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee may at any time during the Lease Term remove any such Part from the Aircraft, provided that:
(a)such Part is in addition to and not in replacement of or in substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft at the time of delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of, or substitution for, any such original Part;
(b)such Part is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Aircraft pursuant to the terms hereof so long as any such Parts so removed shall be stored for the Lessor at part of the originally delivered Aircraft.
(c)such Part can be removed from the Aircraft without diminishing or impairing the value, utility or airworthiness which the Aircraft would have had at such time had such alteration, modification or addition not occurred; and,
(d)such Part is not required to be installed on or attached to the Aircraft by EASA, the FAA and the Aviation Authority in order to maintain the airworthiness certification of the Aircraft for passenger operation.
15.5.3Upon the removal by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and replacement of any Part as above provided, title thereto shall, without further act, vest in Lessee so long as the title to any replacement part shall vest in the Lessor. In the event that no replacement part is installed, title in and to all removed parts shall remain in Lessor and any such Part shall be deemed a Lessor Part hereunder. Upon removal of such Part, Lessee shall restore the area where such Part was removed, so that it is in the condition it would have been had such Part not been installed and assuming such condition was in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Title to any Part not removed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as above provided prior to the return of the respective Aircraft Item to Lessor hereunder shall remain with Owner.
For the duration of the Lease Term, Lessee shall ensure that any Engine or Aircraft Item which is not installed on the Aircraft or another aircraft (where permitted by this Agreement) is stored properly, securely, safely and in accordance with Manufacturer’s recommendations and insured in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and kept free from Liens (other than Permitted Liens). Lessee shall further ensure that for the duration of the Lease Term, it shall ensure at its own cost that all Aircraft Documents, along with updates and amendments generated during the Lease Term, are always kept stored in compliance with OEM, Aviation Authority and FAA requirements. If any inconsistencies exist between the OEM, Aviation Authority, FAA in respect of storage requirements, Lessee shall at all times adhere to the Aviation Authority requirements and upon Redelivery Lessee shall ensure that FAA standards are reverted to.
Lessee shall at its own expense take all such steps and execute, and procure the execution of, all such instruments as are necessary and customary to ensure that the title in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 15 so passes to Owner according to all applicable Laws, and Lessor shall (or shall cause Owner) take all such steps and execute, and procure the execution of, all such instruments as are necessary to ensure that the title in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 15 so passes to Lessee according to all applicable Laws. Upon Lessor’s reasonable request, Lessee shall cause all such additional instruments to be kept, filed and recorded and, if necessary, to be re- executed, re-filed and re-recorded in the appropriate office pursuant to applicable Law to perfect, protect and preserve the rights and interests of Lessor, Owner and Financier (if any) in the replaced Aircraft Item. In case of the replacement of an Engine, Lessee shall at all times deliver a duly executed bill of sale to Lessor to evidence the transfer of ownership and shall enter into a supplemental lease, if required by Lessor, and take all steps as shall be required by Lessor to ensure the creation of an “International Interest” in respect of that lease and that Engine, with the Lessor as “creditor” and the Lessee as “debtor” and the registration thereof with the International Registry and more generally to ensure that Lessor, Owner and Financier receive the same protections and benefit under the Cape Town Convention in respect of that Engine as they had under the Transaction Documents and the Mortgage in respect of the engine being replaced.
Lessee shall not enter into, nor permit any pooling agreement or similar arrangement in respect of Engines, Landing Gear or APU, and in respect of any Aircraft Item or Part, without the prior written consent of Lessor.
15.9.1Lessor reserves the right to provide replacement engines, landing gear and APU during the Lease Term for comparable engines, landing gear and APU removed during the term of the lease including but not limited to the following reasons for removal:
Engines: Removed for Life Limited Parts, scheduled shop visits or due to performance deterioration;

16.3Agreed Maintenance Facility
During the term of the Lease, maintenance performed on the Aircraft by a maintenance and repair facility shall be performed by an Agreed Maintenance Facility which shall be FAA or EASA and Aviation Authority certified to perform services on the Airbus A321-200 model aircraft and approved by Lessor.
16.4Line Maintenance, AD and Mandatory Compliance
16.4.1Lessee shall be responsible, at its expense, for all line maintenance required for the Aircraft, including but not limited to the airframe, engines, auxiliary power unit and landing gears, during the Lease Term including compliance with all Airworthiness Directives (“ADs”) issued during the Lease Term that could be complied with during normal line maintenance. Line maintenance will be carried out by the Lessee at its facility or any other third-party FAA/EASA and Aviation
Authority approved organization approved by Lessor.
16.4.2Lessee shall be responsible for compliance with all applicable AD’s issued during the Lease Term and requiring compliance during the Lease Term and during a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the Expiration Date, including the performance of all Terminating Actions contained therein.
16.4.3The compliance of any AD shall be accomplished by performing the Manufacturer issued service bulletins (if available).
16.4.4Airworthiness Directives which do not have a Terminating Action will be accomplished at the highest level of inspection or modification possible without any waivers, alternate means of compliance, dispensations, extensions, deviations or carry-overs.
If Lessee installs any equipment onto the Aircraft and/or conducts work on the Aircraft in order to comply with an Airworthiness Directive issued by the FAA on a terminating action basis (the “Equipment”) and the cost of buying and installing the Equipment onto the Aircraft is more than US $100,000 (the “Qualifying AD Threshold”) (a “Qualifying AD”), then, provided that Lessee:
(i)has complied with all of its obligations under the Lease Agreement and no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing; and
(ii)has consulted and agreed with Lessor the source of the Equipment, the choice of the maintenance facility for the installation of the Equipment and the relevant workscope for the installation of the Equipment; and
(iii)has provided to Lessor satisfactory evidence (including the relevant costs of labour and materials and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s payment of those costs) regarding its compliance with the Qualifying AD,
(iv)then Lessor shall reimburse to Lessee a portion of those, except (i) in the event of an early termination of this Agreement or (ii) as a result of a Total Loss of the Aircraft, in which case Lessor shall not be obliged to make any payment to Lessee. Lessor’s share of the cost to be reimbursed to Lessee shall be calculated using the following formula;
A = (B – C) x (1 – (D /126)
where
A = the amount Lessor shall pay to Lessee,
B = the cost of buying and installing the Equipment to comply with the Qualifying AD less any subsidy, credit, warranty payment or other benefit received by Lessee in respect of the Qualifying AD,
C = the Qualifying AD Threshold amount, and
D = the number of months from (i) the earlier of the date that Lessee complies with the Qualifying AD and the required compliance date for the Qualifying AD, to (ii) the date that is 126 months from the Delivery Date.
16.5.1Lessee shall be responsible for all scheduled heavy maintenance required on the Aircraft, including the airframe, engines (in accordance with the terms of the Engine Protocol), auxiliary power unit and landing gears during the Lease Term meeting the definition of Qualifying Work. All heavy maintenance shall be performed by a Lessor approved FAA and Aviation Authority repair station/maintenance performers, as follows:
(a)Aircraft scheduled heavy maintenance (as per the approved maintenance program of the Lessee), being the phase C-Checks and including compliance with all ADs, CPCP or heavy maintenance, which cannot be accomplished during normal line maintenance; and will include parts, labor cost, and hangar;
(b)Scheduled engine maintenance and unscheduled engine maintenance;
(c)Scheduled landing gear maintenance and unscheduled Landing Gear maintenance; and,
(d)Scheduled APU maintenance and unscheduled APU maintenance.
16.6.1Lessor and any person designated by Lessor, including Owner and the Financier, may (upon giving Lessee at least fifteen (15), but not more than forty-five (45) days written notice, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in which event no notice will be required) at any time visit, inspect and survey the Aircraft and Aircraft Documents, any Engine or any other Aircraft Item provided such inspection shall not interfere with the normal commercial operation of the Aircraft and for such purpose may, subject to any applicable Aviation Authority regulation, travel on the flight deck as an observer.
16.6.2The inspections under this Clause 16.6 will be at cost of the Lessor.
16.6.3Lessor has no duty to conduct any such visit, inspection or survey and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, has no liability arising out of any such visit, inspection or survey and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, will not exercise such right other than on reasonable notice and so as not to disrupt unreasonably the commercial operations of Lessee.
16.6.4The right to inspect the Aircraft in accordance with this Clause 16.6 are in the Lessor Indemnitees’ economical interest only, and may not in any way be construed as an obligation on the Lessor Indemnitees to keep the Aircraft airworthy nor shall it in any way inflict an operational liability upon the Lessor Indemnitees.
16.6.5Lessor hereby undertakes to indemnify and hold Lessee harmless from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses in respect to injury to or death or the loss of property of Lessor, the Owner, or Financier and their respective employees or representatives when such damages, losses, costs and expenses arise due to their gross negligence or wilful misconduct during or out of or in connection with such inspection.
An Engine can only be removed after prior written approval by Lessor other than if an Engine is removed for testing, service, repair, maintenance, overhaul work, alterations, modifications or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Title to such Engine shall at all times remain vested in Owner, and such removal may only be
undertaken by personnel of the Lessee qualified to perform such removal or an Agreed Maintenance Facility qualified to perform such removal. All Engine workscopes for removed Engines shall be subject to Lessor written approval in advance of commencement of work.
16.8Qualifying Maintenance Event Management
Should an Engine require a Qualifying Maintenance Event during the Lease Term, Lessor and Lessee shall follow the Engine Protocol set forth in Exhibit Q.
16.9Passenger-Related Maintenance
Lessor and Lessee will share the cost of Passenger-Related Maintenance equally (50/50), not to exceed $240,000 for Lessor (the “Passenger-Related Maintenance
Cap”). After the Passenger-Related Maintenance Cap has been reached, any Passenger- Related Maintenance costs shall be for the account of Lessee.
17.1.1▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay to Lessor Maintenance Reserves amounts with respect to the Aircraft during the Lease Term in accordance with Exhibit H (Maintenance Reserves) hereto and as follows:

18.5Contest and Mitigation
18.5.1If Lessor Indemnitee becomes aware of any Claim which may give rise to an indemnity obligation on the part of Lessee under this Clause 18 (Indemnification), Lessor shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify Lessee thereof (but failure to give such notice shall not relieve Lessee of its obligations hereunder), and, if reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, shall consult with Lessee to consider what action may properly be taken to defend or otherwise resist or mitigate such Claim. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ considers (having regard, in respect of Financiers, to the provisions of the Finance Documents relating to the Aircraft) that such action should be taken as aforesaid, Lessor will take such action or, if Lessor so agrees, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be entitled to take such action in the name of Lessor, provided that:
(a)no such action may be taken by Lessee or shall be required to be taken by such Lessor Indemnitee unless adequate provision in respect of the Claim and any associated costs or expenses has been made by Lessee to the reasonable satisfaction of such Lessor Indemnitee (having regard to the nature and amount of the Claim); and,

19.1.2Pursuant to Exhibit I (Insurance Requirements), Lessee shall cause (i) Loss Payee to be named as loss payee and Lessor, Owner and Financier to be named as additional insured parties for the Agreed Value under the hull and spares insurances required to be maintained by Lessee under this Agreement, and (ii) all Lessor Indemnitees and any other party that the Lessor may reasonably require to be named as additional insured parties under Lessee’s aviation and general third party liability insurance maintained by Lessee under this Agreement (the parties mentioned under points (i) and (ii) shall collectively be referred to as the "Additional Insured"). ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that the sections entitled “Contract Parties/Additional Insured” and “Contracts” in Exhibit I reflect an illustration of the Persons and the documents and agreements which need to be included in the insurance certificates hereunder, as known at the date of this
Agreement. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ further acknowledges and agrees that on or prior to Delivery of the Aircraft and throughout the Lease Term the Persons and documents to be reflected in the aforementioned sections found in Exhibit I may be amended from time to time for reasons including, to reflect a change in ownership of the Aircraft, a change in Lessor and as a result of any financing or refinancing obtained by Lessor and/or Owner of the Aircraft. Lessor shall advise Lessee of the Persons and the documents and agreements that need to be included in such sections of Exhibit I and, upon such notification, Lessee shall include such Persons, documents and agreements in the relevant sections of the insurance certificates.
19.2.1If Lessee installs a third party engine on the Aircraft in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, either (a) Lessee’s hull insurance coverage on the Aircraft must automatically increase to such higher amount as is necessary in order to satisfy both Loss Payee’s requirement to receive the Agreed Value in the event of a Total Loss and the amount required by the third party engine owner or (b) separate additional insurance on such engine must attach in order to satisfy separately the requirements of Lessee to such third party engine owner. In order to ensure performance by Lessee as set forth in this section, Lessee shall be required to provide to Lessor an amended certificate of insurance each time that the coverage is changed to accommodate a third party engine installed on the Aircraft.
19.2.2If Lessor permits Lessee to pool the Engines pursuant to the provisions of Clause 15 (Replacement of Parts) of this Agreement, the Engines mounted or being mounted on another aircraft operated by Lessee must be separately insured either (i) as if it was a leased engine (Leased Engine Endorsement), or
(ii) insured otherwise satisfactorily to Lessor, to protect Owner’s, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s and Financer’s interests herein and in the Engine. The Engine Agreed Value shall be as stipulated in Exhibit N (Lease Specific Terms) hereof. In both cases (i) and
(ii) the Loss Payee shall be noted as loss payee and the Additional Insured shall remain Additional Insured with regard to legal liability insurance covering that specific Engine. Any additional premium in respect of this endorsement or separate engine insurance shall be paid by Lessee. In order to ensure performance by Lessee as set forth in this section, Lessee shall be required to provide to Lessor an amended certificate of insurance each time that the coverage is changed to accommodate a third party engine installed on the Aircraft.
19.3Write Back of Any Date Recognition Exclusion
In the event any of Lessee’s insurances (either the primary insurance or the reinsurance) continue to require any date recognition exclusion clause or similar clause excluding from such insurance coverage damage to any property (including the Aircraft) or death or injury to any person on account of accidents, incidents or occurrences caused by date recognition or other Year 2000-related problems, Lessee at its cost shall obtain for the benefit of itself and each of the Additional Insured the broadest write-back available in the London insurance market with respect to such exclusion.
If Lessor, Owner or Financier sell or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Aircraft or assign all or any of its rights under this Agreement (to the extent permitted under this Agreement) or otherwise disposes of any interest in the Aircraft to any other Person, Lessee shall procure that such Person hereunder be named as loss payee and/or additional assured in the policies effected hereunder and enjoy the same rights and insurance enjoyed by Lessor, Owner or Financier under such policies. Lessor, Owner or Financier and the other Lessor Indemnitees must nevertheless continue to be covered by such policies.
If there is a material adverse change in the financial condition of Lessee which Lessor reasonably believes will cause Lessee to be unable to pay the deductible upon the occurrence of a partial loss of the Aircraft or an Engine, then Lessor may require Lessee at Lessee’s expense to lower its deductibles on the insurance maintained hereunder to a level which is available on commercially reasonable terms in the insurance market.
19.6.1Lessor may from time to time require Lessee, at Lessee’s expense, to effect such other insurance or such variations to the terms of the existing insurance as may then be customary in the airline industry applicable to the Aircraft and at the time commonly available in the insurance market at commercially reasonable terms.
19.6.2Lessee may not without the prior written approval of Lessor take out any insurance or procure any reinsurance in respect of the Aircraft other than those required by this Agreement if such insurance or reinsurance may prejudice the effectiveness of any of the insurances or reinsurances or the recovery of any proceeds thereunder or the rights of any Lessor Indemnitees.
19.7Information Obligation
19.7.1Upon request from Lessor and/or Financier, Lessee shall provide Lessor with any information reasonably requested by Lessor (including insurance certificates) from time to time concerning the insurance maintained with respect to the Aircraft or in connection with any claim being made or proposed to be made thereunder.
19.7.2Lessee herewith authorizes Lessor and/or Financier to contact ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s insurance broker directly and acquire any information relevant to Lessee’s contractual insurance obligations under this Agreement.
19.7.3Lessee shall procure that its insurance/reinsurance underwriters or brokers shall promptly advise Lessor in writing of any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of Lessee which might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the Aircraft.
Not less than five (5) Business Days before the expiration or termination date of any insurance required hereunder, Lessee shall provide Lessor and Financier with fax or e- mail confirmation from Lessee’s insurance brokers that renewed certificates of insurance evidencing the renewal or replacement of such insurance and complying with Exhibit I (Insurance Requirements) will be issued on the termination date of the prior certificate. Within seven (7) days after such renewal, Lessee shall furnish its brokers’ certificates of insurance to Lessor and Financier.
19.9.1Any reinsurance must be maintained with reinsurers and brokers approved by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Such reinsurance must in all respects (including amount) in accordance with this Clause 19 (Insurance) and Exhibit I (Insurance Requirements) be satisfactory to Lessor and contain:
(a)a cut-through and assignment clause satisfactory to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, in each case acting reasonably; and
(b)a provision that payment will be made notwithstanding any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or dissolution of any of the original insurers.
19.9.2To the extent that reinsurances are obtained in connection with and pursuant to this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall procure that the insurer enter into an Assignment of Reinsurances with Lessor or the Financier (as directed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇) in form and substance acceptable to Lessor. In the event that the Reinsurers will not agree to an Assignment of Reinsurances with Lessor or the Financier, Lessor may enter into negotiations directly with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Reinsurers to find a solution.
If at any time Lessee fails to maintain insurance in compliance with this Clause 19, Lessor may do any of the following (without prejudice to any other rights which it may have under this Agreement by reason of such failure):
(a)pay any premiums due or to effect or maintain insurance satisfactory to Lessor or otherwise remedy such failure in such manner as Lessor considers appropriate (and Lessee shall upon demand reimburse Lessor in full for any amount so expended by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in that connection); or,
(b)at any time while such failure is continuing, to require the Aircraft to remain at any airport or (as the case may be), proceed to and remain at any airport designated by Lessor, until such failure is remedied to Lessor’s satisfaction.
19.11Assignment of Insurances
Lessee shall enter into an Assignment of Insurances with Lessor or the Financier (as directed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇) and obtain an acknowledgement from the insurer in connection with the Assignment of Insurances, both of the foregoing in form and substance acceptable to Lessor.
Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing, promptly after becoming aware of the occurrence of a Total Loss of the Aircraft, any Engine or Landing Gear.
20.2Payment of Insurance Proceeds
In case of the occurrence of a Total Loss of the Aircraft, all insurance proceeds payable by the insurer(s) shall be payable to the Loss Payee. Lessor and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall proceed diligently and cooperate fully with each other in the recovery of any and all Total Loss Proceeds under the hull, spares all risks and hull war and spares war insurance.
20.3Total Loss of Aircraft.
20.3.1In case of a Total Loss of the Aircraft, the leasing of the Aircraft hereunder is terminated (other than those obligations of Lessee which survive the termination or earlier cancellation of this Agreement) and Lessor shall be released of its obligations under this Agreement but Lessee shall continue to pay Rent (and continue to perform all obligations of Lessee under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents still capable of performance) until receipt by the Loss Payee of the Agreed Value and receipt by Lessor of all other amounts then due and payable under this Agreement.
20.3.2In case the insurer(s) have not paid out the Agreed Value to the Loss Payee within ninety (90) days after the Total Loss Date, Lessee shall pay to the Loss Payee an amount equal to the Agreed Value and all Rent due and payable up to such date. In case the insurers pay out an amount to the Loss Payee which is less than the Agreed Value, Lessee shall pay to the Loss Payee the balance of the difference
between the amount paid out by the insurers and the Agreed Value.
20.3.3Upon (i) receipt by the Loss Payee of the payment(s) from Lessee made reference to in the previous paragraph and (ii) receipt by Lessor of all other amounts then due and payable under this Agreement, Lessor shall, and shall
procure that the Loss Payee shall assign to Lessee any and all rights they might have in respect of receiving the insurance proceeds from the insurer(s).
20.3.4Upon receipt by Loss Payee of the Agreed Value and receipt by Lessor of all other monies due and payable by Lessee under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement shall terminate (other than those obligations of Lessee which survive the termination or earlier cancellation of this Agreement). An amount equal to the balance of the Security Deposit shall in such case be paid to Lessee on the Expiration Date provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) no event of default (howsoever defined) under a Companion Agreement has occurred and is continuing, (iii) Lessee has discharged all of its obligations under this Agreement and (iv) Lessee has discharged all of its obligations under the Companion Agreements.
If a Total Loss of the Aircraft occurs and there has not been a Total Loss of an Engine or Engines, then Lessee may request, (subject to agreement of relevant insurers) and on receipt by Loss Payee and Lessor of all monies due under Clause 20 (Event of Loss) and payment by Lessee of all airport, navigation and other charges on the Aircraft, Lessor will procure that Owner transfers all its rights, title and interest in the surviving Engine(s) to Lessee or to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s insurers, as applicable, but without any responsibility, condition or warranty of any kind whatsoever express or implied on the part of Owner other than as to freedom from any Lessor’s Lien.
20.5Total Loss Engine, APU, or Landing Gear
20.5.1Upon the occurrence of a Total Loss with respect to an Engine, the APU, or the Landing Gear, under circumstances in which there has not occurred a Total Loss with respect to the Aircraft, Lessee shall forthwith (and in any event within two
(2) Business Days after such occurrence) give Lessor written notice thereof and Lessee shall replace such Engine, APU or Landing Gear as soon as reasonably possible, but in any event, before the Expiration Date and not more than ninety
(90) days after the occurrence of such Total Loss, by duly conveying to Owner, free and clear of all Liens, title to another engine, or landing gear of the same or an improved model and suitable for installation and use on the Airframe. Such replacement shall occur in accordance with the provisions of Clause 15.1 (Permanent Replacement) hereof.
20.5.2No Total Loss covered by this Clause 20.5 shall result in any reduction or abatement of any Rent.

20.6.2Provided that (i) the Loss Payee has received the Agreed Value from the insurer(s) or from Lessor on behalf of any insurer(s) and (ii) no Event of Default under this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (howsoever defined) has occurred and is continuing and (iii) Lessor has received all other amounts then due and payable under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, Lessor shall pay to Lessee any amount received by Lessor in accordance with this Clause.
20.6.3Payments received by Lessor or Lessee from any Governmental Authority with respect to a Total Loss resulting solely from the condemnation, confiscation or seizure of, or requisition of title to or use of any Engine shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee, provided that Lessee shall have fully performed its obligations under Clause 20.5 (Total Loss Engine, APU or Landing Gear) hereof with respect to such Engine and Lessor has received all amounts then due under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
20.6.4Payments received by Lessor or Lessee from any Governmental Authority with respect to a requisition of use during the Lease Term of the Aircraft or any of the Engines, which requisition does not constitute a Total Loss, shall, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and provided that Lessor has received all amounts then due under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, be paid to, or retained by, Lessee.
21.1Continuing Obligations
If the Aircraft, any Engine or any Aircraft Item suffers loss or damage not constituting a Total Loss of the Aircraft, all of the obligations of Lessee under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including payment of Rent) will continue in full force.
21.2.1In the event of any loss or damage to the Aircraft which does not constitute a Total Loss of the Aircraft, or any loss or damage to any Engine or Aircraft Item, Lessee shall at its sole cost and expense fully repair the Aircraft, any Engine or Aircraft Item in such manner that the Aircraft, Engine or Aircraft Item is in an airworthy condition and substantially the same condition as it was immediately prior to such loss or damage.
21.2.2All repairs shall be performed in a manner which preserves and maintains all warranties and service life policies to the same extent as they existed prior to such loss or damage. Lessee shall notify Lessor forthwith of any loss, theft or damage to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Aircraft Item for which the cost of repairs is estimated to exceed the Damage Notification Threshold, together with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s and/or insurer's proposal for carrying out the repair. Lessor shall have the option to dispute such proposal and be part of the discussion for repair between ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Insurer.
21.2.3If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any insurance proceeds from the insurers shall be paid to the Loss Payee.
21.3Government Requisition
If the Aircraft, any Engine or any Aircraft Item is requisitioned for use by any Governmental Authority, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of such requisition. All of Lessee’s obligations under this Agreement will continue as if such requisition had not occurred. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lessor has received all amounts then due under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, all payments received by Lessor or Lessee from such Governmental Authority will be paid over to or retained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if Lessor has not received all amounts then due under this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents, all payments received by Lessee or Lessor from such Governmental Authority may be used by Lessor to satisfy any obligations owing by Lessee and Lessee shall promptly transfer all amounts that it receives from such Governmental Authority to Lessor.

If the leasing of the Aircraft is terminated under Clause 23.3 (Rights and Remedies), Lessee shall at the request of Lessor promptly take all steps necessary to effect (if applicable) deregistration of the Aircraft and its export from the country where the Aircraft is for the time being situated and any other steps necessary to enable the Aircraft to be redelivered to Lessor in accordance with this Agreement. Lessee hereby irrevocably and by way of security for its obligations under this Agreement appoints Lessor as its attorney (with full powers of delegation and substitution) to execute and
deliver any documentation and to do any act or thing required in connection with the foregoing and shall, on or prior to the Delivery Date deliver to Lessor or Lessor’s nominee a Power of Attorney and, from time to time thereafter, if requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, deliver to Lessor or Lessor’s nominee any updates or amendments to the foregoing.
23.5.1If an Event of Default occurs, Lessee shall indemnify Lessor and the other Lessor Indemnitees against any loss which Lessor and/or such other Lessor Indemnitee may sustain or incur directly or indirectly as a result, including:
(a)any Loss sustained or incurred by Lessor or Owner in or as a result of exercising any of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s rights or remedies pursuant to Clause 23.3 (Rights and Remedies), including:
(i)any Losses incurred by Lessor and/or Owner, as the case may be, in putting the Aircraft into the condition required by this Agreement and any Losses (including Losses Lessor and/or Owner may suffer or incur in connection with any future lease or sale of the Aircraft, in comparison with this Lease) Lessor and/or Owner, as the case may be, may suffer or incur by reason of the
Aircraft not being in such condition; and,
(ii)any loss, cost, expense or liability sustained or incurred by Lessor in connection with such Event of Default.
23.5.2Lessor shall have the duty to use commercially reasonable endeavors to mitigate any such loss (including loss of profit), sustained or incurred in accordance with this Clause 23.5.
Subject to Clause 23.5.2, if an Event of Default has occurred and this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Clause 23.3 (Rights and Remedies) hereof, Owner and/or Lessor may sell or re-lease or otherwise deal with the Aircraft at such time and in such manner and on such terms as they consider appropriate in their absolute discretion, free and clear of any interest of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as if this Agreement had never been entered into.
Lessor may, by written notice to Lessee, at its election waive any Event of Default and its consequences and cancel any prior notice of termination of this Agreement. The respective rights of the Parties shall then be as they would have been had no Event of Default occurred and no such notice been given.
No remedy referred to in this Clause 23 is intended to be exclusive, but each is cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to Lessor; and the exercise by Lessor of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lessor of any or all of such other
remedies. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Event of Default.
Each Event of Default is an event that constitutes a "default" or otherwise gives rise to the rights and remedies specified in Articles 12 to 15 and 20 of the Cape Town Convention. If an Event of Default is continuing:
(a)in addition to all other remedies available, the Lessor will be entitled to the remedies referred to in Articles 15(1) and 20(1) of the Cape Town Convention and Article 20(4) thereof will not apply; and,
(b)the Lessor may procure the deregistration of the Aircraft, its export and physical transfer from the territory in which it is situated.

EXHIBIT Q: ENGINE PROTOCOL
Engine Replacement for a Qualifying Event
The following applies to engines with a Qualifying Event (Performance Restoration or LLP Restoration) and does not apply to a non-Qualifying Event such as a repair shop visit, foreign object damage, misuse, abuse or improper maintenance, storage or handling.
1.Lessor will provide a replacement engine
(a)In the event that an engine is subject to a Qualifying Event (Performance Restoration or LLP Restoration).
(b)Provided that Lessee shall provide adequate prior written notice of the requirement, to permit Lessor to position a replacement engine at Lessee’s Habitual Base or as otherwise mutually agreed, (15) days prior to the scheduled engine removal date.
(c)The removed engine will be promptly prepared for shipment by Lessee or its Approved Maintenance Provider, at no cost to Lessor for shipment on
Lessor’s engine stand to such destination as may be designated by Lessor. The Lessor will bear all costs of engine shipment.
(d)The Redelivery Condition will not be applicable if a time-continued replacement engine with less than Delivery Condition life remaining adjusted for remaining lease period, in Lessor’s reasonable opinion, is provided by Lessor.
2.Backup Option 1 – Lessee may operate its own spare engine
(a)In the event that no replacement engine can be provided by Lessor, Lessee may install a Lessee owned engine on the Aircraft.
(b)In the event that Lessee shall install a Lessee owned engine on the Aircraft, Lessor will reimburse Lessee for its internal costs of such Lessee owned engine, provided that any Rent and Supplemental Rent shall not exceed then-current industry rates for long-term engine rental.
(c)The Redelivery Condition will not be applicable.
3.Backup Option 2 – Lessee may operate a Third-party lease engine
(a)In the event that a replacement engine cannot be provided either under Option 1 or Option 2 above, Lessee may lease an engine from a third party on commercially reasonable terms on a short-term basis.
(b)Lessor will reimburse Lessee its costs for renting a replacement engine provided that the costs are less than or equal to the then-current rates for the applicable V2500 or CFM56-5B engines, as applicable.
(c)Lessee will minimize the lease term to avoid lease commitment beyond the time required for Lessor to provide a replacement engine.
(d)The Redelivery Condition will not be applicable.
