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, Lessor hereby agrees to lease to Lessee and Lessee hereby agrees to take on lease from Lessor, the Aircraft, and the Parties further agree as follows:

AGREEMENT TO LEASE

1.1

Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lessor agrees to lease the Aircraft to Lessee on an operating lease and Lessee 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 Lessee 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.

1.2

Lessor 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

Cape Town Convention

1.3.1

For 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".

1.3.2

Subject 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 Lessee (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.

1.3.3

This Agreement constitutes an agreement for the registration of the Aircraft with the Aviation Authority, and such registration will be maintained pursuant to this Agreement.

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

2.1

Conditions Precedent

If 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).

2.2.2

If 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)

2.3

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.

2.4

Waiver 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).

DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE

3.1

Delivery Date

3.1.1

The 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.

3.1.2

Notwithstanding 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.

3.1.3

Notwithstanding 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

Delayed Delivery

3.2.1

In the case of a delayed Delivery, neither Lessor nor any of the Lessor Indemnitees will be responsible for any Losses that Lessee suffers resulting from the Delivery taking place after the Scheduled Delivery Date or non- delivery of the Aircraft.

3.2.2

Notwithstanding 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 Lessor has received from Lessee.

3.2.3

Notwithstanding 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. Lessee 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.

3.2.4

Notwithstanding 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.

3.3

Lessee Selection of Aircraft & Delivery Condition

3.3.1

Lessee 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.

3.3.2

The 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

Aircraft Inspection

3.4.1

On 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, Lessee 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 Lessee as witness, as part of the Delivery Inspection.

3.4.2

Lessee 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.

3.4.3

All 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 Lessor’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

Non-conformity

3.5.1

Provided 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.

3.5.2

Lessee 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 Lessee of the notification that Lessor does not intend to correct the defect or non-conformity.

3.6

Acceptance of the Aircraft

3.6.1

Subject to Clause 3.6.4 below, the acceptance by Lessee 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, Lessee’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.

3.6.2

The 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. Lessee’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.

3.6.3

Following the Technical Acceptance of the Aircraft by Lessee, Lessee shall take

Delivery of the Aircraft. The Delivery acceptance by Lessee of the Aircraft shall be evidenced by the delivery by Lessee to Lessor of the signed Certificate of Acceptance, and the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement shall commence.

Lessee'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").

3.7

ELT (Re)coding

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 Lessee’s sole cost and expense.

3.8

Total 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.

3.9

Risk of Loss following Delivery

Upon Delivery of the Aircraft all risk of loss associated with the Aircraft shall pass to the Lessee.

4.2

Lease Termination

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.

5.1.2

The 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.

5.1.3

The 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.

The Security Deposit shall be held by Lessor as security for the performance by Lessee of Lessee’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 Lessee, on the other hand. To the extent that in any jurisdiction the Security Deposit would be held to be the property of Lessee, 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.

5.2

Security Deposit and Event of Default

5.2.1

If 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.

5.2.2

If 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 Lessee’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.

Tax Indemnity

9.1.1

Lessee 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 Lessor Indemnitee;

(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”.

9.1.2

Nothing 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.

9.2

After-Tax Basis

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.

9.3

Tax Credit

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.

9.4

Tax Contest

Lessor will promptly notify Lessee after becoming aware that a claim has been made against any Lessor Indemnitee for Taxes in respect of which Lessee 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 Lessee'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:

9.4.1

no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;

9.4.2

that such payment is being contested in good faith and supported by legal opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lessor (acting reasonably) to the effect that a reasonable basis exists for contesting such payment;

9.4.3

that 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;

9.4.4

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 payment and any associated costs or expenses has been made by Lessee; and,

9.4.5

Lessee 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).

9.5

Survival

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 Lessee has indemnified Lessor

Indemnitees against herein, notwithstanding the expiration, earlier cancellation or termination of this Agreement.

If 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 Lessee 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 Lessor 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, Lessee 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,

(b)

Lessee 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.

18.6

Survival

The respective obligations of Lessee under this Clause 18 shall remain in full force and effect, following the expiration, earlier cancellation or termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years.

19.

INSURANCE

19.1

Insurance

19.1.1

Throughout the Lease Term and until the Expiration Date (and for product liability insurance for a minimum period of two (2) years from Redelivery of

the Aircraft), Lessee shall, at its own expense, effect and maintain in full force and effect the types of insurance, conditions and amounts of insurance (including deductibles) required under Exhibit I (Insurance Requirements) hereof through such brokers and with such insurers as may be approved by Lessor, in London or New York or such other insurance markets as may be approved by Lessor.

19.1.2

Pursuant 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"). Lessee 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. Lessee 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

Engine Endorsement

19.2.1

If 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.

19.2.2

If 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, Lessor’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.

19.3

Write 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.

19.4

Assignment

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.

19.5

Deductibles

If there is a material adverse change in the financial condition of Lessee which Lessor reasonably believes will cause Lessee to be unable to pay the deductible upon the occurrence of a partial loss of the Aircraft or an Engine, then Lessor 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

Other Insurance

19.6.1

Lessor 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.

19.6.2

Lessee 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.

19.7

Information Obligation

19.7.1

Upon 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.

19.7.2

Lessee herewith authorizes Lessor and/or Financier to contact Lessee’s insurance broker directly and acquire any information relevant to Lessee’s contractual insurance obligations under this Agreement.

19.7.3

Lessee 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.

19.8

Renewal

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

Reinsurance

19.9.1

Any reinsurance must be maintained with reinsurers and brokers approved by Lessor. 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 Lessor, 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.

19.9.2

To the extent that reinsurances are obtained in connection with and pursuant to this Agreement, Lessee shall procure that the insurer enter into an Assignment of Reinsurances with Lessor or the Financier (as directed by Lessor) 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 Lessee’s Reinsurers to find a solution.

19.10

Failure to Insure

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 Lessor 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.

19.11

Assignment of Insurances

Lessee shall enter into an Assignment of Insurances with Lessor or the Financier (as directed by Lessor) 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.

(a)

accept such repudiation and by notice to Lessee and with immediate effect terminate this Agreement and/or the leasing of the Aircraft (but without prejudice to the continuing obligations of Lessee under this

(b)

proceed by appropriate court action or actions to enforce performance of this Agreement or to recover damages for the breach of this Agreement;

(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,

23.7

Waiver

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.

23.8

Remedies Cumulative

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.
