(b) If any Tax Indemnitee shall, based upon its own reasonable interpretation of any relevant laws or regulations, realize any Tax savings (by way of refund, deduction, credit or
27 otherwise) in respect of any amount with respect to which Lessee shall have made a payment (or increased payment) pursuant to Section 5.7, 5.9 or 5.11 or shall have indemnified such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to Section 5.8(a), or in respect of the occurrence or transaction which gave rise to such payment or indemnification, and such Tax savings shall not have been taken into account previously in calculating any indemnity payment made by Lessee, then such Tax Indemnitee shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the relevant savings and subject to Lessee's obligations to repay such amount to such Tax Indemnitee if the relevant savings are subsequently disallowed or canceled, pay to Lessee such amount as such Tax Indemnitee shall in its opinion have concluded to be the amount of such Tax savings (together with, in the case of a refund, any interest received thereon); provided, that such Tax Indemnitee shall not be obliged to make any payment to Lessee pursuant to this Section 5.8(b) to the extent that the amount of any Tax savings in respect of which such payment is to be made would exceed the aggregate amount of all prior payments made by Lessee to, on behalf of or as indemnification of such Tax Indemnitee under this Agreement for Taxes less the amount of all prior payments made pursuant to this Section 5.8(b) in respect of such Tax savings. Lessee acknowledges that nothing contained in this Section 5.8(b) shall interfere with the right of any Tax Indemnitee to arrange its tax affairs in whatsoever proper manner it thinks fit (or give Lessee any right to investigate, or impose any obligation on any Tax Indemnitee to disclose, the same) and, in particular, no Tax Indemnitee shall be under any obligation to claim any Tax savings in priority to any other savings available to it; provided, that subject to the foregoing Lessor shall, and shall ensure that all Tax Indemnitees shall, use reasonable diligence to realize Tax savings as described above. 5.9 Value Added Tax (a) For purposes of this Section 5.9, "VAT" means value added tax and any goods and services, sales or turnover tax, imposition or levy of a similar nature, and "supply" includes anything on or in respect of which VAT is chargeable. (b) Lessee shall pay each Tax Indemnitee or the relevant taxing authority, as the case may be, the amount of any VAT chargeable in respect of any supply for VAT purposes under the Operative Documents. (c) Each amount stated as payable by Lessee under the Operative Documents is exclusive of VAT (if any), and if VAT is payable in respect of any amount payable by Lessee under the Operative Documents, Lessee shall pay all such VAT and shall indemnify each Tax Indemnitee against any claims for the same, and where appropriate Lessee shall increase the payments that would otherwise be required to be made under the Operative Documents so that such Tax Indemnitee is left in the same position as it would have been had no VAT been payable. Lessee shall provide evidence to Lessor, if available, in respect of payment of any VAT paid by Lessee with respect to the Operative Documents. 5.10 Information If Lessee is required by any Applicable Law, or by any third party, to deliver any report or return in connection with any Taxes, then Lessee shall duly complete the same and, in particular, shall not state therein that any Person other than Lessee is responsible for the use and operation of the Aircraft and for the Taxes (other than Non-Indemnified Taxes) arising therefrom, and Lessee shall, on request, supply a copy of the report or return to any Tax Indemnitee. If Lessee requires any information or cooperation from any Tax
28 Indemnitee in order to satisfy its obligations as set forth above, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly furnish such information or cooperation as Lessee may reasonably request in writing, provided that such information is legally available, not subject to contractual or legal restrictions on its disclosure, and is within the power of such Tax Indemnitee to obtain. If actual notice is given by any taxing authority to Lessor that a report or return is required to be filed with respect to any Taxes (other than Non-Indemnified Taxes), Lessor shall promptly notify Lessee of such required report or return. 5.11 Taxation of Indemnity Payments (a) If and to the extent that any sums payable to any Tax Indemnitee by Lessee under the Operative Documents by way of indemnity are insufficient, by reason of any Taxes payable in respect of those sums, for such Tax Indemnitee to discharge the corresponding liability to the relevant third party (including any taxation authority), or to reimburse such Tax Indemnitee for the cost incurred by it to a third party (including any taxation authority), Lessee shall pay to such Tax Indemnitee such sum as shall, after the tax liability has been fully satisfied, leave such Tax Indemnitee with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of that liability. (b) If and to the extent that any sums constituting (directly or indirectly) an indemnity to any Tax Indemnitee but paid by Lessee to any Person other than such Tax Indemnitee are treated as taxable in the hands of such Tax Indemnitee, then Lessee shall pay to such Tax Indemnitee such sum as shall, after the tax liability has been fully satisfied, indemnify such Tax Indemnitee to the same extent as it would have been indemnified in the absence of such liability. 5.12 Default Interest If Lessee fails to pay any amount payable under the Operative Documents on the due date, Lessee shall pay on demand from time to time to Lessor interest (both before and after judgment) at the Overdue Rate on such amount from the due date to the day of payment in full by Lessee to Lessor. All such interest shall be compounded monthly and calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed assuming a year of 360 days. 5.13 Contest If a written claim is made against any Tax Indemnitee for or with respect to any Taxes (other than Non-Indemnified Taxes), such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly notify Lessee. If reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in writing within 30 days after such notification, but only so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, such Tax Indemnitee shall, upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee and at the expense of Lessee (including all costs, expenses, losses, legal and accountants' fees and disbursements, penalties and interest), in good faith contest or to the extent permissible by law allow Lessee to contest in Lessee's or such Tax Indemnitee's name, other than the Financing Parties, the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes by either (x) resisting payment thereof if practicable and permitted by Applicable Law, or (y) if payment is made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings and in the contest of any such claim by any Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall apprise Lessee of all material developments with respect to such contest, shall forward copies of all material submissions made in such contest and shall materially
29 comply in good faith with any reasonable request concerning the conduct of any such contest; provided, that no Tax Indemnitee shall be obliged to take any such action: (a) that such Tax Indemnitee considers, in its reasonable discretion, may prejudice it; or (b) that such Tax Indemnitee reasonably considers does not have a reasonable prospect of success; or (c) for which Lessee has not made adequate provision to the reasonable satisfaction of such Tax Indemnitee in respect of the expense concerned; or (d) that gives rise to any material risk of the Aircraft or any interest of any Tax Indemnitee in the Aircraft being sold, forfeited or otherwise lost, or of criminal liability on the part of any Tax Indemnitee. If any Tax Indemnitee, in accordance with the foregoing, determines to pay such Taxes and seek a refund, Lessee shall either pay such Taxes on such Tax Indemnitee's behalf and pay such Tax Indemnitee any amount due with respect to such payment or shall promptly reimburse such Tax Indemnitee for such Taxes. If any Tax Indemnitee shall obtain a refund of all or any part of such Taxes paid by Lessee, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay Lessee the amount of such refund; provided, that such amount shall not be payable before such time as Lessee shall have made all payments or indemnities to any Tax Indemnitee then due with respect to Taxes and so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing. If in addition to such refund any Tax Indemnitee shall receive an amount representing interest, attorneys' fees or any other amount with respect to such refund, Lessee shall be paid that proportion of such interest, attorneys' fees or any other amount which is fairly attributable to the Taxes paid by Lessee prior to the receipt of such refund. No Tax Indemnitee shall enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to, or otherwise concede, any claim by a taxing authority on account of Taxes being contested by Lessee pursuant to this Section 5.13 without the written consent of Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless either (x) a Default has occurred and is continuing or (y) such Tax Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified by Lessee with respect to such claim (but not with respect to any future claims). 5.14 Absolute Lessee's obligations under this Agreement are absolute and unconditional irrespective of any contingency whatsoever, including: (a) any right of offset, counterclaim, recoupment, reduction, defense or other right which either party to this Agreement may have against the other; (b) any unavailability of the Aircraft for any reason, including a requisition of the Aircraft or any prohibition or interruption of, interference with or other restriction against ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s use, operation or possession of the Aircraft; (c) any lack or invalidity of title or any other defect in title, airworthiness, merchantability, fitness for any purpose, condition, design or operation of any kind or nature of the Aircraft for any particular use or trade, or for registration or documentation under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, or any Total Loss in respect of or any damage to the Aircraft;
30 (d) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceedings by or against Lessor or Lessee; (e) any invalidity, unenforceability or lack of due authorization of, or other defect in, this Agreement; or (f) any other cause which, but for this provision, would or might otherwise have the effect of terminating or in any way affecting any obligation of Lessee under this Agreement; provided always, however, that this Section 5.14 shall be without prejudice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s right to claim damages and other relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach by Lessor of its obligations under this Agreement. 6. Manufacturer's and Other Warranties 6.1 Assignment Notwithstanding this Agreement, Owner shall remain entitled to the benefit of each warranty, express or implied, and any unexpired customer and/or product support given or provided in respect of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part by any Manufacturer, vendor, maintenance performer, subcontractor or supplier. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor (on behalf of Owner) hereby authorizes ▇▇▇▇▇▇ during the Term to pursue any claim thereunder in relation to defects affecting the Aircraft, any Engine or Part, and Lessee shall diligently and promptly pursue any such claim that arises at its own cost. Lessee shall notify Lessor promptly upon becoming aware of any such claim. Lessor shall provide such assistance to Lessee in making a claim under any such warranties or customer and/or product support as Lessee may reasonably request, and, if requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and at Lessee's expense, shall cause Owner to pursue a claim in Owner's name where the relevant Manufacturer, vendor, maintenance performer, subcontractor or supplier has refused to acknowledge ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s right to pursue that claim, but subject to Lessee first ensuring that Owner and Lessor are indemnified and secured to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction against all losses, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities (including fees and disbursements) that Owner or Lessor may incur in the taking of any such actions. 6.2 Proceeds All proceeds of any such claim as is referred to in Section 6.1 and which exceed $100,000 shall be paid directly to Lessor (for the benefit of Owner) at the account set forth in Section 5.6(a), but if and to the extent that such claim relates: (a) to defects affecting the Aircraft which Lessee has rectified; or (a) to compensation for loss of use of the Aircraft, an Engine or any Part during the Term; or (b) to costs incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in pursuing such claim (whether or not proceeds of such claim are payable to Lessee); and provided no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the proceeds shall be promptly paid to Lessee by Lessor but, in the case of (a), only on receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that Lessee has rectified the relevant defect.
31 6.3 Parts Except to the extent Lessor otherwise agrees in a particular case, Lessee shall procure that any part provided by any Manufacturer, vendor, maintenance performer, subcontractor or supplier as a replacement for a defective Part pursuant to the terms of any warranty or customer and/or product support arrangement complies with Section 8.13(a), is installed on the Aircraft promptly and that title thereto vests in Owner in accordance with Section 8.17(a). 6.4 Agreement To the extent any warranties or customer and/or product support relating to the Aircraft are made available under an agreement between any Manufacturer, vendor, maintenance performer, subcontractor or supplier and Lessee, this Section 6 is subject to that agreement. However, Lessee shall: (a) pay the proceeds of any claim thereunder in excess of $100,000 to Lessor (for the benefit of Owner) at the account set forth in Section 5.6(a) to be applied pursuant to Section 6.2 and, pending such payment, shall hold the claim and the proceeds in trust for Lessor (for the benefit of Owner); and (b) take all such steps as are necessary and requested by Lessor at the end of the Term to ensure the benefit of any of those warranties or customer and/or product support which have not expired are vested in Owner. 6.5 Lessee Warranties Lessee acknowledges that during the Term it might contract with Manufacturers and/or Agreed Maintenance Performers to maintain, provide and service the Airframe, Engines and Parts. At Return, Lessee shall irrevocably assign to Owner all of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s rights regarding the Aircraft under any warranty (express or implied), service policy, maintenance agreement or product support agreement provided by any such Manufacturer and/or Agreed Maintenance Performer to the extent that such rights are assignable. After Return, (i) Lessee shall provide such assistance to Owner and/or Lessor in making a claim under any such warranty, service policy, maintenance agreement or product support agreement as Owner and/or Lessor may reasonably request and (ii) Lessee shall promptly enforce on Owner's behalf, at Owner’s cost, all such rights that are not assignable. 6.6 Final Maintenance Performer Warranties Lessee shall use best efforts to cause its maintenance contract with the Final Maintenance Performer to contain a provision reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lessor, expressly stating that all warranties (express or implied) (if any) and product support (if any) is made for the benefit of Owner and its assigns and may be relied upon and enforced directly by Owner and its assigns without the involvement of Lessee. 6.7 Agreed Maintenance Performers Lessor may exclude any maintenance organization (other than Lessee or Elektra Trans Global OOD) from being an "Agreed Maintenance Performer" on reasonable grounds. If
32 Lessor wishes to exclude a maintenance organization from being an Agreed Maintenance Performer, Lessor shall discuss such request with ▇▇▇▇▇▇, both parties acting reasonably. At the request of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Lessor shall consult in good faith with Lessee regarding any organizations excluded by Lessor pursuant to this Section. 7. Lessor's Covenants 7.1 Quiet Enjoyment Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor shall not interfere with the quiet use, possession and enjoyment of the Aircraft by Lessee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement throughout the Term, but the exercise by Lessor of its rights under or in respect of this Agreement shall not constitute such an interference. 7.2 Lessor's Maintenance Contribution (a) Airframe Reimbursable Expenses: (i) Lessee's Actual Cost incurred in completing an Airframe 6Y Structural Check on the Airframe during the Term, including all routine and non-routine Airframe 6Y Structural Check tasks (or the equivalent thereof), but not including the cost of repairs caused by Lessee’s faulty maintenance or installation, improper operations, abuse, neglect or misuse or the cost of modifications, interior reconfiguration, the accomplishment of ADs and any overhaul of time controlled components accomplished during the Airframe 6Y Structural Check except such as are part of the tasks included at such Airframe 6Y Structural Check interval, shall constitute "Airframe 6Y Reimbursable Expenses". (ii) Upon the completion of an Airframe 6Y Structural Check on the Airframe during the Term, Lessee shall, within four months of such accomplishment, present written evidence to Lessor as to the completion of such Airframe 6Y Structural Check and the amount of the Airframe 6Y Reimbursable Expenses for approval by Lessor. Such evidence shall include a full hardcopy or digital copy of the entire maintenance event and a list of all routine and non-routine work cards with corresponding references to the MPD and an itemized labor and materials report. Upon receipt of such written evidence, and provided there then exists no Event of Default, Lessor shall pay to Lessee (in the case where Lessee performed the work or upon proof that Lessee has paid the independent repair facility that performed such work) or to the independent repair facility performing such work if directed in writing by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and upon receipt of written confirmation from such repair facility that it shall apply such payments solely against the costs due for such Airframe 6Y Structural Check, an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the Airframe 6Y Reimbursable Expenses or (2) an amount equal to (x) all Airframe 6Y Additional Rent previously paid by Lessee under this Agreement as of the date of completion of the Airframe 6Y Structural Check, minus (y) all previous payments by Lessor under this Section 7.2(a)(ii).
33 (iii) Lessee's Actual Cost incurred in completing an Airframe 12Y Structural Check on the Airframe during the Term, including all routine and non-routine Airframe 12Y Structural Check tasks (or the equivalent thereof), but not including the cost of repairs caused by Lessee’s faulty maintenance or installation, improper operations, abuse, neglect or misuse or the cost of modifications, interior reconfiguration, the accomplishment of ADs and any overhaul of time controlled components accomplished during the Airframe 12Y Structural Check except such as are part of the tasks included at such Airframe 12Y Structural Check interval, shall constitute "Airframe 12Y Reimbursable Expenses".

For the avoidance of doubt, Engine Reimbursable Expenses shall not include any late charges, mark ups, interest, freight charges, handling fees or similar charges associated with the export, import or shipping of such Engine. (ii) Upon accomplishment of any Engine Shop Visit for an Engine during the Term, Lessee shall, within four months of such accomplishment, present written evidence satisfactory to Lessor as to the completion of such Engine

52 (c) the Engine or Part is leased, let on hire or otherwise made available by Lessee on terms conferring no more than a contractual right in personam against Lessee and not a right in rem against such Engine or Part; (d) in the case of an Engine, the pooling agreement or arrangement does not permit the transfer of title to such Engine; and (e) the pooling agreement or arrangement either provides that Owner or Lessor (or any Financing Party designated by Lessor) shall be the loss payee in respect of any loss or damage to the Engine or Part, or provides for Owner to acquire title to a replacement engine or part (if the Engine or Part is destroyed) that satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 11.3(a) (in the case of a replacement engine) or Section 8.13(a)(in the case of a replacement part). 8.16 Equipment Changes (a) Lessor acknowledges that title to the passenger seats in the Aircraft will remain at all times with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and that Lessee may from time to time remove or replace the passenger seats without Lessor’s consent. (b) Lessee shall not make any Voluntary Equipment Change expected to cost in excess of $150,000 or that deviates from the Aircraft's original type design or configuration without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (c) Lessor may review ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s proposed designs, plans, engineering drawings and diagrams, and flight and maintenance manual revisions for any proposed Equipment Change. If requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Lessee shall furnish Lessor (at Lessee's expense) with such documents in final form and any other documents required by Applicable Law as a result of an Equipment Change. All Equipment Changes made to the Aircraft shall be properly documented in the Aircraft Documents and be fully approved per EASA requirements. (d) Lessee shall not make any Voluntary Equipment Change that has the effect of diminishing or impairing the value, utility, condition or airworthiness of the Aircraft or invalidating any warranty applicable to the Aircraft. (e) All permanent or structural Equipment Changes, all Mandatory Equipment Changes and all Voluntary Equipment Changes shall, upon installation, become a part of the Aircraft and the property of Lessor. At Lessor's request, all Voluntary Equipment Changes shall be removed from the Aircraft before return of the Aircraft to Lessor and the Aircraft shall be restored to its condition prior to that Equipment Change, and upon such removal and restoration shall revert to become the property of Lessee; provided, that Lessee may not remove a Voluntary Equipment Change without Lessor's consent during the continuation of a Default. 8.17 Title to Parts (a) Title to each part installed on the Aircraft, whether by way of replacement of a Part, as the result of an Equipment Change or otherwise (except for a Lessee Installed Part or a part installed as a temporary replacement part pursuant to Section 8.13(b)) shall on installation, without further act, vest in Owner subject to this Agreement and free and clear of all
53 Security Interests (except for Lessor Liens). Lessee shall at its own expense take all such steps and execute, and procure the execution of, all such instruments that are necessary under Applicable Law to ensure that title so passes to Owner and is subject to the Security Interests created by any Financing Security Document. At any time when requested by Lessor, Lessee shall provide evidence to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction (including the provision, if required, to Lessor of one or more legal opinions) that title has so passed to Owner and is subject to the Security Interests created by any Financing Security Document. (b) Any Part at any time removed from the Aircraft shall remain the property of Owner until a replacement has been made in accordance with Section 8.13(a) of this Agreement and until title to that replacement has passed, in accordance with Section 8.17(a) and Applicable Law, to Owner subject to this Agreement and free of all Security Interests (except for Lessor Liens), whereupon title to the removed Part shall, if no Default has occurred and is continuing, pass to Lessee free of Lessor Liens. (c) If any Lessee Installed Part is not removed prior to Return, then upon Return, title to such Lessee Installed Part shall, without further act, vest in Owner free and clear of all Security Interests. Lessee shall at its own expense take all such steps and execute, and procure the execution of, all such instruments that are necessary to ensure that title so passes to Owner. 8.18 Third Parties Lessee shall procure that no Person or sublessee having possession of the Aircraft during the Term shall act in any manner inconsistent with Lessee's obligations under this Agreement. 8.19 Non-Discrimination (a) Lessee shall not discriminate against the Aircraft in its use, maintenance or operation of the Aircraft compared to similar aircraft owned or operated by Lessee, and Lessee shall service, repair, maintain and overhaul the Aircraft so as to keep the Aircraft maintained in the same manner and with the same care as used by Lessee with similar aircraft owned or operated by Lessee. (b) Subject to a sublease permitted pursuant to Section 8.5, Lessee shall not discriminate and shall operate the Aircraft in the same manner as any other aircraft in its fleet until delivery to the Redelivery Location immediately prior to the Final Inspection. (c) Lessee shall perform (or cause to be performed) normal progressive maintenance on the Aircraft throughout the Term, and no unusual maintenance procedures or cessation of maintenance shall occur during the one year period prior to the Expiry Date. 8.20 Unserviceable Engine Replacement Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2(f) and this Section 8, in the event that an Engine becomes unserviceable for any reason (other than due to Lessee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or foreign object damage), Lessee shall return the Engine to Lessor in an unserviceable condition to ETG’s facility in Varna, Bulgaria. Lessee shall lease or otherwise provide from its own inventory a spare engine at Lessee’s sole cost for
54 the remainder of the Term and notwithstanding Section 5.4, will no longer be obligated to pay Engine Additional Rent and Engine LLP Additional Rent for the unserviceable Engine commencing with the day immediately following the date on which the Engine became unserviceable. Furthermore, Lessor shall reduce the Basic Rent Amount by an amount reflecting Lessee’s Actual Cost to procure a replacement engine, with such cost reduction capped at $50,000 per month per removed unserviceable Engine. In the alternative, Lessor shall have the option to provide to Lessee, at Lessor’s cost and expense, a replacement engine (acceptable to Lessee at its sole discretion) with expected life remaining to last on-wing for the duration of the Term. In such case, the Basic Rent Amount payable by Lessee for the Aircraft, the Engine Additional and Engine LLP Additional Rent shall remain the same and Lessee’s obligation to pay these amounts shall continue. In case the replacement engine suffers a foreign object damage (FOD) event or an insurance-related repairable event and during the repair of the damages due to such event Lessee identifies further repairs to other parts of the replacement engine that need to be performed, the engine module percentages set opposite that engine module as listed in the table immediately below shall apply. Engine Module Engine Module Percentage Fan / Booster 15% High Pressure Compressor 25% Combustor 8% High Pressure Turbine 27% Low Pressure Turbine / Accessory GearBox 25% 8.21 APU and Landing Gear Replacement In the event of a Major Check coming due for either the APU or any of the Landing Gear, Lessor, in its sole discretion, shall have the option to supply a replacement APU or landing gear in exchange for the APU or Landing Gear on the Airframe that is in need of an APU Basic Shop Visit or Landing Gear Overhaul. Any replacement APU or Landing Gear shall be of the same (or improved) make and model as the APU or Landing Gear being replaced, suitable for installation on the Aircraft in serviceable condition and having expected life remaining to last on-wing for the duration of the Term. Provided such replacement occurs during the Term, the return conditions set forth in Schedule 3 attached hereto will be amended accordingly to ensure that the replacement APU or Landing Gear will meet the redelivery requirements without further necessary maintenance. 9. Insurance 9.1 Insurances Lessee shall maintain in full force and effect during the Term insurances in respect of the Aircraft in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor (the "Insurances") through such brokers and with such insurers and having such deductibles and being subject to such exclusions as are usual and customary in the leading international
55 insurance markets for international air carriers operating aircraft of the same type as the Aircraft and who are similarly situated as Lessee. The Insurances shall be effected on a direct basis with insurers who normally participate in aviation insurances and led by reputable insurers. 9.2 Requirements Lessor's requirements as of the date of this Agreement as to Insurances are as specified in this Section 9 and in Schedule 4. Except for the amount of the Agreed Value, the Minimum Liability Coverage and the deductible under ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s hull and war risk insurance policies, Lessor may from time to time stipulate such other requirements for the Insurances as Lessor reasonably considers necessary to ensure that the scope and level of cover is maintained in accordance with the then prevailing industry practice in relation to aircraft of the same type as the Aircraft and in relation to air carriers similarly situated as Lessee. In the event that Lessor makes any such stipulation, Lessor shall notify Lessee accordingly and Lessor and/or its brokers shall then consult in good faith with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s brokers (as for the time being approved by Lessor) with regard to such stipulation. Following the consultation, if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ confirms that the stipulation should be made, Lessee shall then comply with the stipulated requirements. 9.3 Insurance Covenants Lessee shall: (a) ensure that all legal requirements as to insurance of the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part that may from time to time be imposed by the laws of the State of Registration or any jurisdiction to, from or over which the Aircraft may be flown, in so far as they affect or concern the operation of the Aircraft, are complied with and, in particular, those requirements compliance with which is necessary to ensure that: (i) the Aircraft does not become subject to detention or forfeiture; (ii) the Insurances remain valid and in full force and effect; and (iii) the interests of the Indemnitees in respect of the Insurances and the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part are not thereby prejudiced; (b) not use, cause or permit the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part to be used for any purpose or in any manner not covered by the Insurances or outside any geographical limit imposed by the Insurances; (c) comply with the terms and conditions of each policy of the Insurances and not do, consent or agree to any act or omission that: (i) invalidates or may reasonably be expected to invalidate the Insurances; (ii) renders or may reasonably be expected to render void or voidable the whole or any part of any of the Insurances; or (iii) brings any particular liability within the scope of an exclusion or exception to the Insurances;
56 (d) not take out without the prior written approval of Lessor any insurance in respect of the Aircraft other than those of the type required under this Agreement unless relating solely to business interruption, engine break-down or deductible buy-down risk and, in each such case, when such insurance does not prejudice the Insurances required under this Agreement or the recovery by Owner, Lessor and/or any Financing Party (as the case may be) thereunder; provided, that Lessee may take out hull "all risks" and hull war and allied perils insurance in respect of the Aircraft in excess of the Agreed Value, but only to the extent that (i) such excess insurance does not exceed 10% of the Agreed Value and (ii) such excess insurance does not prejudice the Insurances required under this Agreement or the recovery by Owner, Lessor and/or any Financing Party (as the case may be) thereunder; (e) provide to Lessor copies of those documents evidencing the Insurances which Lessor may reasonably request, including, without limitation, certificates of insurance, certificates of reinsurance, insurance brokers' undertakings, and reinsurance broker's undertakings; (f) procure that all certificates of insurance, certificates of reinsurance, insurance brokers' undertakings and reinsurance brokers' undertakings that are provided to Lessor from time to time are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor; (g) on request, provide to Lessor evidence that the Insurance premiums have been paid; (h) not make any modification or alteration to the Insurances material and adverse to the interests of any of the Indemnitees; (i) be responsible for any deductible under the Insurances; and (j) provide any other insurance related information, or assistance, in respect of the Insurances as Lessor may reasonably request. 9.4 Renewal of Insurances Lessee shall commence renewal procedures no later than 30 days prior to the expiration of any of the Insurances and provide to Lessor: (a) if requested by Lessor, a written status report of renewal negotiations 14 days prior to each expiration date; and (b) prior to each expiration date, a certificate of insurance and broker's letter of undertaking substantially in the form delivered to Lessor on the Delivery Date describing the renewal coverage and confirming the insurers' agreement to the specified insurance requirements of this Agreement, provided, however, that in the event that the certificate of insurance and broker's letter of undertaking are not provided to Lessor prior to an expiration date, Lessee shall procure that ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s insurance broker and reinsurance broker (if applicable) notify Lessor prior to such expiration date that Lessee's insurances have been renewed on terms no less favorable to Lessor than the prior coverage and Lessee shall provide the applicable certificate of insurance and broker's letter of undertaking to Lessor no later than seven (7) days after such expiration date.
57 9.5 Failure to Insure If Lessee fails to maintain the Insurances in compliance with this Agreement: (a) Lessee shall immediately ground the Aircraft and shall keep it grounded until such time as the Insurances shall again be in full force and effect. (b) Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of such non-compliance and provide Lessor with a description of all steps that Lessee is taking or proposes to take in order to remedy such non-compliance. (c) Each of the Indemnitees shall be entitled but not obligated (without prejudice to any other rights of Lessor under this Agreement): (i) to pay the premiums due or to effect and maintain insurances satisfactory to it or otherwise remedy Lessee's failure in such manner (including to effect and maintain an "owner's interest" policy) as it considers appropriate, and any sums so expended by it shall become immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor on demand (such demand being made as soon as reasonably practicable following the incurring of such expenditure), together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date of expenditure by it up to the date of reimbursement by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (before and after any judgment); and (ii) at any time while such failure is continuing to require the Aircraft to remain at any airport or to proceed to and remain at any airport designated by it until the failure is remedied to its reasonable satisfaction. 9.6 Continuing Insurance for Indemnity (a) Lessee shall effect and maintain insurance after the date of a Transfer and after the Expiry Date with respect to its liability under the indemnities in Section 10 for two years, providing for each Indemnitee (as existing immediately prior to such Transfer or the Expiry Date, as applicable) to be named as an additional insured either in accordance with customary market practice or pursuant to the provisions of the airline finance/lease contract Endorsement AVN 99 if the Insurances incorporate the terms of AVN 67C. (b) Lessee's obligation under this Section 9.6 shall not be affected by Lessee ceasing to be lessee of the Aircraft or any of the Indemnitees ceasing to have any interest in respect of the Aircraft, and upon a Transfer pursuant to Section 14.2, Lessee shall continue to name each Indemnitee (as existing immediately prior to such Transfer) as an additional insured under the insurance policies described by Section 1(d) of Schedule 4 for two years after the date of the Transfer. 9.7 Application of Insurance Proceeds As between Lessor and Lessee, and except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the provisions of the airline finance/lease contract Endorsements AVN 67C and AVN 67C (Hull War) or any successor endorsements, if applicable:
58 (a) All insurance payments, up to the Agreed Value, received as the result of a Total Loss occurring during the Term shall be paid to Owner (unless or until Lessor notifies Lessee that said payments should be made to a specified Financing Party). (b) Any payment(s) of insurance proceeds in respect of any damage or loss to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part occurring during the Term not constituting a Total Loss in an aggregate amount greater than the Damage Notification Threshold shall be paid to Owner (unless or until Lessor notifies Lessee that said payments should be made to a specified Financing Party) and applied in payment (or to reimburse Lessee) for repairs or replacement property upon Lessor being reasonably satisfied that the repairs or replacement have been or are being effected in accordance with this Agreement. Any payment of insurance proceeds in amounts less than the Damage Notification Threshold may be paid by the insurer directly to ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Any balance remaining (after application of proceeds in respect of repairs or replacement) shall be paid to or may be retained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. (c) All insurance proceeds in respect of third party liability shall be paid to the relevant third party. (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 9.7(a) and (b), if at the time of the payment of any insurance proceeds as described by Sections 9.7(a) and (b) a Default has occurred and is continuing, all such proceeds shall be paid to or retained by Owner (unless or until Lessor notifies ▇▇▇▇▇▇ that said payments should be made to a Financing Party) to be applied toward payment of any amounts that may be or become payable by Lessee in such order as Owner and Lessor see fit. In the event that Lessee remedies any such Default to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessor, then Lessor shall procure that all such insurance proceeds then held by Owner, Lessor or any Financing Party, as the case may be, in excess of the amounts (if any) applied by Owner, Lessor or any Financing Party, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section 9.7(d) shall be paid promptly to Lessee. 9.8 Aggregate Limits If any of the Insurances is subject to an aggregate annual or other periodic limit, and, by reason of any claims made thereunder during the course of the applicable period in respect of any property subject to such policy, the aggregate amount of coverage available thereunder in respect of the balance of such applicable period shall have been reduced: (a) Lessee shall forthwith notify Lessor of the amount of any such claim; and (b) Lessee shall not operate the Aircraft during the balance of such period either (i) without the prior written consent of Lessor or (ii) until Lessee has increased the aggregate limit under the relevant policy for such period to such amount as Lessor may reasonably require. 9.9 Form LSW555D Exclusions In this Section 9.9, the term "Uninsured Risks" shall mean the matters set out in the exclusions to form LSW555D (or any successor provision approved by Lessor) for chemical or biological weapons, "dirty bombs" and electromagnetic pulse weapons. If cover in respect of the Uninsured Risks is, or becomes, available in the leading international insurance markets at commercially reasonable rates (having reference to the
59 extent to which such cover is commonly taken by international air carriers) Lessee shall, if requested by Lessor, obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, insurance cover for the Uninsured Risks to the fullest extent available in the leading international insurance markets. 10. Indemnity 10.1 General (a) Lessee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Indemnitees for, from and against any and all claims, proceedings, losses, liabilities, suits, judgments, costs, expenses, penalties or fines (each a "Claim") regardless of when the same is made or incurred, whether during or after the Term (but not before): (i) that may at any time be suffered or incurred directly or indirectly as a result of or connected with possession, repossession, inspection, testing, delivery, performance, management, registration, deregistration, control, maintenance, condition, service, repair, overhaul, storage, leasing, subleasing, use, operation or return of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part (whether in the air or on the ground) whether or not the Claim may be attributable to any defect in the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or to its design, testing, use or otherwise, and regardless of when the same arises or whether it arises out of or is attributable to any act or omission, negligent or otherwise, of any Indemnitee; (ii) that arise out of any act or omission that invalidates or that renders voidable any of the Insurances; or (iii) that may at any time be suffered or incurred as a consequence of any design, article or material in the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or its operation or use constituting an infringement of patent, copyright, trademark, design or other proprietary right or a breach of any obligation of confidentiality owed to any Person. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.1(a), Lessee shall not have to indemnify an Indemnitee for any Claim to the extent that: (i) it arises directly as a result of the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Indemnitee that needs to be substantiated by Lessee; (ii) it arises directly as a result of the breach by Lessor of its covenant of quiet enjoyment as set forth in Section 7.1; (iii) it arises directly as a result of a breach by any Indemnitee of its express obligations under any Operative Document or as a result of a representation or warranty given by such Indemnitee in an Operative Document not being true and correct at the date when, or when deemed to have been, given or made; (iv) it constitutes a cost or expense that is expressly required to be borne by Lessor in accordance with another provision of this Agreement;
60 (v) it represents a Tax or loss of tax benefits (▇▇▇▇▇▇'s liabilities for which, including exclusions, are set out in Sections 5.7, 5.8, 5.9 and 5.11); (vi) it results solely from any disposition not caused by Lessee of all or any part of Owner's or Lessor's rights, title or interest in or to the Aircraft or under this Agreement, unless such disposition occurs as a consequence of an Event of Default; or (vii) it is attributable to an event occurring after the Expiry Date unless the Claim results from or arises out of an act or omission by Lessee, or any circumstance existing, during the Term. 10.2 Mitigation (a) Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstances that would, or would reasonably be expected to, become the subject of a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.1, provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not terminate any of the rights of Indemnitees under this Section 10. Lessor (and any other Indemnitee seeking indemnification, as the case may be) and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall then consult with one another in good faith in order to determine what action (if any) may reasonably be taken to avoid or mitigate such Claim. Unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee shall have the right to take all reasonable action (on behalf and, if necessary, in the name of Lessor or such other Indemnitee other than the Financing Parties) in order to resist, defend or settle (provided such settlement is accompanied by payment) any Claim, provided that Lessee shall not be entitled to take any such action unless adequate provision, reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and such other Indemnitee other than the Financing Parties, shall have been made in respect of the Claim and the costs thereof. Lessee or, if the Claim is covered by ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s Insurances, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s insurers shall be entitled to select any counsel to represent it or them, Lessor and such other Indemnitee other than the Financing Parties in connection with any such action, subject to the approval of Lessor and such other Indemnitee, and any action taken by Lessee shall be on a full indemnity basis in respect of Lessor and such other Indemnitee other than the Financing Parties. (b) Any sums paid by Lessee to Lessor or any Indemnitee in respect of any Claim pursuant to Section 10.1 shall be paid subject to the condition that, in the event that Lessor or such Indemnitee is subsequently reimbursed in respect of that Claim by any other Person, Lessor or such Indemnitee shall, provided no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, promptly pay to Lessee an amount equal to the sum paid to it by Lessee, including any interest on such amount to the extent attributable thereto and received by Lessor or such Indemnitee, less any Tax payable by Lessor or such Indemnitee in respect of such reimbursement. 11. Events Of Loss 11.1 Total Loss Before Delivery If a Total Loss of the Aircraft occurs before Delivery, this Agreement shall immediately terminate and neither party shall have any further obligation or liability under this Agreement except as expressly stated herein.
61 11.2 Total Loss After Delivery (a) If a Total Loss of the Aircraft occurs after Delivery, Lessee shall pay the Agreed Value to Owner (or any Financing Party designated by Lessor) on the earlier of: (i) the date of receipt of the insurance proceeds payable as a result of the Total Loss, or (ii) 90 days after the Total Loss Date (the "Settlement Date"), in either case unless the Aircraft is restored to Owner, Lessor or Lessee within that period (or, in the case of a Total Loss coming within paragraph (c) of the definition of Total Loss and involving the loss of Owner's title to the Aircraft, if both the Aircraft and Owner's title thereto are restored to Owner and/or Lessor or, in the case of the Aircraft, to Lessee). (b) The receipt by Owner (or any Financing Party designated by Lessor) of the insurance proceeds in respect of the Total Loss on or prior to the Settlement Date shall discharge Lessee from its obligation to pay the Agreed Value pursuant to this Section 11.2, provided such proceeds are not less than the Agreed Value. In the event that the insurance proceeds are paid initially to Lessee and not to Owner (or any Financing Party designated by Lessor), they may be retained by Lessee if Lessee shall have paid the Agreed Value to Owner (or any Financing Party designated by Lessor); otherwise Lessee shall pay the Agreed Value to Owner (or any Financing Party designated by Lessor) not later than the next Business Day following receipt by Lessee of such proceeds. In the event that Lessee pays the Agreed Value to Owner (or any Financing Party designated by Lessor) in full in accordance with this Section 11.2, Lessor shall cause Owner (or any applicable Financing Party) to promptly assign to Lessee its rights under the Insurances to receive the insurance proceeds in respect of the Total Loss to the extent that such proceeds have not been paid to Lessee. (c) Subject to the rights of any insurers or other third parties, upon irrevocable payment in full to Owner (or any Financing Party designated by Lessor) of the Agreed Value and all other amounts that are payable to Lessor under the Operative Documents, Owner shall without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of Lessor Liens), and without further act, be deemed to have transferred to Lessee all of Owner's rights to any Engines or Parts not installed when the Total Loss occurred (or to any Engines or Parts that survived the Total Loss), all on an "as is where is" basis, and Lessor shall cause Owner to, at Lessee's expense, execute and deliver such bills of sale and other documents and instruments as Lessee may reasonably request to evidence (on the public record or otherwise) the transfer and the vesting of Owner's rights in such Engines and Parts in Lessee, free and clear of all rights of Owner and any Lessor Liens. 11.3 Engine Loss (a) Upon the occurrence of an Engine Loss in circumstances in which there has not also occurred a Total Loss (including, for the avoidance of doubt, at a time when the Engine is not installed on the Airframe), Lessee shall give Lessor written notice promptly upon becoming aware of the same and shall, within 60 days after the Engine Loss Date, convey or cause to be conveyed to Owner, as replacement for such Engine, title to a replacement engine that (1) is an engine of the same model as, or an improved or advanced version
62 of, the lost Engine (provided, in the case of an improved or advanced version, it can be installed and operated on the Airframe without modification of the Airframe or the engine, whether or not the other installed Engine is also such an improved or advanced version), (2) is in the same or better operating condition, has substantially similar hours available until the next scheduled checks, inspections, overhauls and shop visits and has the same or greater value and utility as the lost Engine had immediately prior to the Engine Loss (assuming the lost Engine was, immediately prior to the Engine Loss, in the condition required by this Agreement), (3) has attached to it a current airworthiness release certificate issued by the Engine Manufacturer or an approved vendor indicating that the engine is new, serviceable or overhauled (with Lessee retaining all such certificates) and (4) is accompanied by documentation establishing traceability "back to birth" for all installed life limited parts. Lessee shall at its own expense take all such steps and execute, and procure the execution of, a warranty bill of sale covering such replacement engine, a supplement to this Agreement adding such replacement engine to the Aircraft and all such other agreements and instruments that are necessary to ensure that title to such Engine passes to Owner and is subject to the Security Interests created by any Financing Security Document and such replacement engine becomes an "Engine", all according to Applicable Law. At any time when requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Lessee shall provide evidence to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction (including the provision, if required, to Lessor of one of more legal opinions) that title has so passed to Owner and is subject to the Security Interests created by any Financing Security Document. (b) Upon compliance with the foregoing title transfer provisions, the leasing of the replaced Engine that suffered the Engine Loss shall cease and title to such replaced Engine shall (subject to any salvage rights of insurers) vest in Lessee free of Lessor Liens. If Owner, Lessor or any Financing Party subsequently receives any insurance proceeds relating to such Engine Loss, Lessor shall promptly remit such proceeds, or cause such proceeds to be remitted, to Lessee. (c) No Engine Loss with respect to any Engine that is replaced in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.3 shall result in any increase or decrease in Basic Rent, Additional Rent or the Agreed Value. 11.4 Damage or Incident Not Constituting a Total Loss Following the occurrence of any damage to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part that does not constitute a Total Loss or an Engine Loss and where either (i) the potential cost of repair may reasonably be expected to exceed the Damage Notification Threshold or (ii) Lessor notifies Lessee in writing that Lessor reasonably believes the damage will permanently affect the value of the Aircraft, Lessee shall take the following actions: (a) Lessee shall consult with, and comply with, all reasonable instructions of Lessor with respect to the accomplishment of repairs; (b) Lessee shall obtain Lessor's consent prior to agreeing upon any repair workscope or seeking Manufacturer approval in connection with any such repairs; and 11.5 Requisition During any requisition for use or hire of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part that does not constitute a Total Loss:
63 (a) the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and Supplemental Rent payable under this Agreement shall not be suspended or abated either in whole or in part, and Lessee shall not be released from any of its other obligations under this Agreement (other than operational obligations with which Lessee is unable to comply solely by virtue of the requisition); (b) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee shall be entitled to any compensation payable by the requisitioning authority in respect of the Term; (c) Lessee shall, as soon as practicable after the end of any such requisition (with the Term being extended if and to the extent that the period of requisition continues beyond the Scheduled Expiry Date), cause the Aircraft to be put into the condition required by this Agreement; and (d) Lessor shall be entitled to all compensation payable by the requisitioning authority in respect of any change in the structure, state or condition of the Aircraft arising during the period of requisition, and Lessor shall apply such compensation in reimbursing Lessee for the cost of complying with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of any such change; provided, that, if any Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor may apply the compensation in or towards settlement of any amounts owing by Lessee under this Agreement. 12. Return Of Aircraft On the Expiry Date or termination of the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement, Lessee shall, unless a Total Loss has occurred, at its expense, return the Aircraft and Aircraft Documents to Lessor at the Redelivery Location in accordance with the procedures described in Schedule 3 and in a condition complying with Schedule 3, free and clear of all Security Interests and Permitted Liens (other than Lessor Liens). If it becomes unlawful for Lessee or Lessor to perform any of its material obligations under the Operative Documents, or any of the Operative Documents becomes wholly or partially invalid or unenforceable, then the affected party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, notify the other party of such illegality. The parties shall then consult in good faith in order to restructure the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Operative Documents in order to avoid or mitigate such illegality, and will, if possible, enter into substitute arrangements which are valid, legal and enforceable and which have the same commercial effect as this Agreement and the other Operative Documents. If no appropriate restructuring is possible, either party may, by notice in writing to the other, terminate the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement, such termination to take effect on the latest date on which Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, may continue such leasing without being in breach of any law, and Lessee shall forthwith redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor subject to redelivery procedures set forth in this Agreement. 13.

Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods shall be conferred upon either Lessor or Lessee unless otherwise expressly granted in this Agreement. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods is not applicable to this Agreement. 14. Assignment, Transfer and Financing 14.1 No Assignment by Lessee Lessee shall not assign any of its right, title, interests, duties, obligations or liabilities in, to or under the Operative Documents, or create or permit to exist any Security Interest (other than Permitted Liens) over any of its rights under the Operative Documents, and any such purported assignment or grant of a Security Interest shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect. Without limiting the foregoing, if any assignment prohibited under the foregoing sentence shall be valid by operation of any non-waivable provision of Applicable Law, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall nevertheless remain fully liable for the payment and performance of all of Lessee's obligations to be paid and performed hereunder as fully and to the same extent as if such assignment had not been effected, without prejudice to the obligations of the assignee. 14.2 Owner and/or Lessor Assignment (a) Owner and/or Lessor may sell, assign or transfer all of their respective rights under the Operative Documents together with all their respective rights in the Aircraft (a "Transfer") to another Person (a "Transferee") and Owner and/or Lessor (as the case may be) shall, other than in the case of an assignment for security purposes, have no further obligation under the Operative Documents following a Transfer but, notwithstanding any Transfer, shall remain entitled to the benefit of each indemnity under this Agreement. (b) In connection with any Transfer by Lessor (other than an assignment for security purposes), the following conditions shall apply: (i) Lessor shall give Lessee written notice of such Transfer at least 10 days before the date of such Transfer, specifying the name, address and tax jurisdiction of the expected Transferee; (ii) the Transferee shall either (A) be an Affiliate of Owner or Lessor or (B) be a Person reasonably experienced in aircraft leasing (or the Transferee's rights and powers under this Agreement shall be exercised or serviced on its behalf pursuant to a management or servicing agreement by a Person having such experience); (iii) the Transferee shall not be an airline or the Affiliate of an airline or a competitor or the Affiliate of a competitor of Lessee;
70 (iv) Lessee shall be satisfied that, pursuant to Applicable Law at the time of the transfer, Lessor will have no greater payment obligations, will not be subject to any increased cost, obligation or liability (financial or otherwise and including as to Tax) and will not suffer any diminution of any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement or the Operative Documents as a result of such assignment or transfer than Lessee would have had without such transfer; (v) the Transferee shall demonstrate, to Lessee’s reasonable satisfaction, that it has a net worth of no less than 8,000,000 (eight million) USD or that its obligations under the Operative Documents are guaranteed by a Person whose net worth is no less than 8,000,000 (eight million) USD; (vi) such Transfer shall not result in a change of State of Registration (unless otherwise agreed with Lessee); and (vii) on the Transfer date, Lessor and the Transferee shall enter into an agreement or agreements in which the Transferee confirms that it shall be deemed a party to this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all the terms of this Agreement, including, in particular, the covenant of quiet enjoyment, and to undertake all of the obligations of, Lessor contained in this Agreement arising on or after the time of the Transfer or due but not performed on the date of the Transfer. (c) Upon any Transfer by Lessor (other than an assignment for security purposes), the Transferee shall be deemed Lessor for all purposes of this Agreement, each reference in this Agreement to "Lessor" shall thereafter be deemed for all purposes to refer to the Transferee, and the transferor shall be relieved of all obligations of "Lessor" under this Agreement arising on or after the time of such Transfer. (d) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall at the time of any Transfer, at the written request of Lessor and with Lessor reimbursing Lessee for ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s reasonable and properly documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses: (i) execute and deliver to Lessor and to such Transferee an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor, Lessee and such Transferee, dated the date of such Transfer, acknowledging such Transfer, and, in the case of a Transfer by Lessor, agreeing to pay all or such portion of the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other payments under this Agreement to such Transferee (or its designee) as such Transferee shall direct and agreeing that such Transferee shall be entitled to rely on all representations and warranties made by Lessee in the Operative Documents or in any certificate or document furnished by Lessee in connection with the Operative Documents as though such Transferee was the original "Lessor" hereunder; (ii) deliver to Lessor and to such Transferee a certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of Lessee, dated the date of such Transfer, to the effect that (A) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, if one is then continuing, describing such Event of Default and (B) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1 are true and correct as of such date;

(b) Each of Owner and Lessor shall be entitled at any time after Delivery to grant a Security Interest in the Aircraft or its respective rights, title and interests in any Operative Document, including a Security Interest in replacement of or with a priority senior, equal
72 or subordinate to any previous grant of a Security Interest. In the case of any such grant, Lessee shall promptly, at the written request of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and with Lessor reimbursing Lessee for Lessee's reasonable and properly documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses: (i) execute and deliver to Lessor the Notice and Acknowledgment acknowledging the new Financing Security Documents and the new Financing Parties; (ii) sign in its capacity as operator of the Aircraft and deliver to Lessor any Bulgarian-law pledge agreement over the Aircraft entered into between Owner and a third party for the purposes of perfection of such pledge under the Bulgarian Civil Aviation Act; (iii) deliver to Lessor and any new Financing Parties a certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of Lessee, dated the date of the grant, to the effect that (1) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, if one is then continuing, describing such Event of Default and (2) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1 are true and correct as of such date; (iv) cause to be delivered to Lessor certificates of insurance and broker's letters of undertaking substantially in the form delivered to Lessor on the Delivery Date, detailing the coverage and confirming the insurers' agreement to the specified insurance requirements of this Agreement and adding the additional Financing Parties as additional insureds and, if requested by Lessor, as loss payees; and (v) take any actions as are reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to effect, perfect, record or implement such grant and execute and/or provide such other documents as Lessor may reasonably request. 14.4 Sale and Leaseback by Lessor In addition to the Transfers and grants of Security Interests as contemplated by Sections 14.2 and 14.3, Lessor shall be entitled to transfer its right, title and interests in and to the Aircraft to any Person and lease the Aircraft from such Person (a "Head Lessor"), and in such event Lessor shall retain its rights and obligations as "Lessor" under this Agreement. In the event of such a sale and leaseback by Lessor, (a) Lessor shall be entitled to assign its rights in this Agreement to such Head Lessor as security for its obligations under the head lease, (b) the Head Lessor shall be entitled to grant to one or more purchase money lenders, or to an agent or trustee on behalf of such lenders, a Security Interest covering the Aircraft and/or the Operative Documents, (c) Lessee shall take such actions and execute and deliver such documents as described in Sections 14.2(d) and 14.3(b) and (d) Lessee shall cooperate with Lessor to amend the Operative Documents, including an amendment to include the Head Lessor and such secured parties as additional insureds and "Indemnitees" for purposes of this Agreement, as Lessor may reasonably request. 14.5 Cooperation; Acknowledgment Lessee shall cooperate with, and provide all reasonable assistance to, Owner, Lessor, any applicable Financing Party and any Transferee in connection with any Transfer or

No Transfer shall cause or result in any increase in or additional obligations (including with respect to Taxes) of Lessee under this Agreement based on the laws in effect at the time of such Transfer. 14.7 Advance Consent under Cape Town Convention For purposes of Article 33(1) of the Cape Town Convention (and Article XV of the Aircraft Equipment Protocol thereto), Lessee hereby consents in advance to the transfer of "associated rights" and the "related international interest" (in each case, as such terms are used in the Cape Town Convention) in respect of any Transfer or grant of a Security Interest as contemplated by Sections 14.2 and 14.3. For the avoidance of doubt, no additional consent by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be required in connection with any such transfer of "associated rights" and the "related international interest". 15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction 15.1 Governing Law This Agreement and each other Operative Document shall in all respects, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 15.2 Consent to Jurisdiction (a) Lessor and Lessee hereby irrevocably agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the Supreme Court of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan, County of New York (the "Agreed Courts") in the event of any claims or disputes arising under this Agreement. Such submission to jurisdiction shall not be construed so as to limit the right of either party to take proceedings against the other in whatever jurisdiction shall to it seem fit nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not. (b) A final judgment against Lessor, in any suit in an Agreed Court, or against Lessee, in any suit in an Agreed Court or in any other court in any jurisdiction where jurisdiction over Lessee or any of its assets can be obtained or where the Aircraft may be located, shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or as otherwise permitted by Applicable Law, a certified or true copy of which shall be conclusive
74 evidence of the facts and of the amount of any indebtedness or liability of Lessor or Lessee. (c) Each of Lessor and Lessee hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any Agreed Court, and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any Agreed Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 15.3 Waiver of Jury Trial LESSEE AND ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. 15.4 Service of Process (a) Without prejudice to any other mode of service, Lessee (i) appoints Cogency Global in New York, New York as its agent for service of process relating to any proceedings before the Agreed Courts in connection with this Agreement and any other Operative Document and shall maintain such process agent (or such other process agent in such jurisdiction acceptable to Lessor acting reasonably, as Lessee may notify to Lessor in writing prior to the appointment of such other process agent) and (ii) agrees that failure by a process agent to notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of the process shall not invalidate the proceedings concerned. (b) Without prejudice to any other mode of service, each of Lessor and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ consents to the service of process relating to any proceedings involving, directly or indirectly, any matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement by U.S. Postal Service registered mail (prepaid, return receipt requested) of a copy of the process to Lessor's or ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s respective address identified in Section 16.10(b). 15.5 Disclaimer of Consequential Damages Lessee acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be entitled to recover, and hereby disclaims and waives any right that it may otherwise have to recover, reduced or lost profits, reduced or lost revenue, or any other consequential, incidental, special, indirect or punitive damages as a result of any breach or alleged breach by Lessor of its obligations under this Agreement. 16. Miscellaneous 16.1 Waivers, Remedies Cumulative The rights of Lessor or Lessee under this Agreement may be exercised as often as necessary, are cumulative and not exclusive of that party's rights under any Applicable Law and may be waived only in writing and specifically. Delay in exercising or non- exercise of any such right is not a waiver of that right. 16.2 Delegation Lessor may delegate to any suitably qualified Person or Persons all or any of the trusts, powers or discretions vested in it by this Agreement and any such delegation may be
75 made upon such terms and conditions and subject to such regulations as Lessor in its absolute discretion thinks fit. 16.3 Appropriation If any sum paid or recovered in respect of the liabilities of Lessee under this Agreement or any Related Agreement is less than the amount then due, Lessor may apply that sum to amounts due under this Agreement or any Related Agreement in such proportions and order and generally in such manner as Lessor may determine. 16.4 Currency Indemnity (a) If Lessor receives an amount in respect of Lessee's liability under this Agreement or if such liability is converted into a claim, proof, judgment or order in a currency other than the currency in which the amount is expressed to be payable under this Agreement (the "contractual currency"): (i) Lessee shall indemnify Lessor, as an independent obligation, against any loss arising out of or as a result of such conversion; (ii) if the amount received by Lessor, when converted into the contractual currency (at the market rate at which Lessor is able on the relevant date to purchase the contractual currency in New York City with that other currency) is less than the amount owed in the contractual currency, Lessee shall, forthwith on demand, pay to Lessor an amount in the contractual currency equal to the deficit; and (iii) Lessee shall pay to Lessor on demand any exchange costs and Taxes payable in connection with the conversion. (b) Lessee waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under this Agreement in a currency other than that in which it is expressed to be payable. 16.5 Payment by Lessor Lessor shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to Lessee under this Agreement so long as a Default exists under this Agreement until such Default has been cured. 16.6 Severability If a provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that shall not affect: (a) the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of this Agreement; or (b) the legality, validity or enforceability in any other jurisdiction of that or any other provision of this Agreement.

90 Schedule 4 – Insurance Requirements 1. The Insurances required to be maintained are as follows: (a) HULL "ALL RISKS" of loss or damage while flying and on the ground with respect to the Aircraft for the Agreed Value and with a deductible not exceeding the Hull Insurance Deductible; (b) HULL WAR AND ALLIED PERILS, covering those war risks excluded from the Hull "All Risks" Policy to the extent such coverage is available in the leading international insurance markets, including coverage for confiscation and requisition by the State of Registration, for the Agreed Value (with form LSW555D exclusions being acceptable except to the extent that coverage in respect of such exclusions is commercially available in the leading international insurance markets); (c) "ALL RISKS" AVIATION SPARES INSURANCE (INCLUDING WAR AND ALLIED RISK except when on the ground or in transit other than by air or sea) on all Engines and Parts when not installed on the Aircraft (to the extent not covered under the Aircraft hull insurances described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above), including Engine test and running risks, in an amount equal to replacement value; and (d) AIRCRAFT THIRD PARTY, BODILY INJURY/PROPERTY DAMAGE, PASSENGER, BAGGAGE, CARGO AND MAIL AND AIRLINE GENERAL THIRD PARTY (INCLUDING PRODUCTS) LEGAL LIABILITY for a combined single limit (Bodily Injury/Property Damage) of an amount not less than the Minimum Liability Coverage for the time being in respect of any one occurrence (but, in respect of products liability, this limit may be an aggregate limit for any and all losses occurring during the currency of the policy, and in respect of liability arising out of personal injury, the limit (within the said combined single limit) may be $25,000,000 in respect of any one offence and in the aggregate, and cargo and mail legal liability may be subject to a limit of $1,000,000 any one occurrence); War and Allied Risks are also to be covered under the Policy to the extent available in the leading international insurance markets. The Minimum Liability Coverage may be adjusted upwards from time to time by agreement to such an amount as reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. If Lessee disputes these amounts, the matter can be determined by consulting with three different internationally recognized insurance brokers as to what the industry standard may be at the time and taking the average of the responses provided by those three brokers. 2. All required hull and spares insurance specified in Sections 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c) above, so far as it relates to the Aircraft, shall: (a) provide that any loss shall be settled with Lessee (who shall in any such case consult in advance with Lessor in regard thereto), and any claim that becomes payable on the basis of a Total Loss shall be paid in Dollars to Lessor (unless or until Lessor notifies Lessee that said payments should be made to a Financing Party) as loss payee up to the Agreed Value, and loss proceeds in excess of the Agreed Value shall be payable to Lessee, with any other claim being payable as may be necessary for the repair of the damage to which it relates; (b) if separate Hull "All Risks" and "War Risks" insurances are arranged, include a 50/50 provision in the terms of ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ endorsement AVS103 or its equivalent; and
91 (c) confirm that the Insurers are not entitled to replace the Aircraft in the event of a Total Loss. 3. All required hull insurance specified in Sections 1(a) and 1(b) above, so far as it relates to the Aircraft, shall provide that at any time while an engine, other than an Engine, is installed on the Aircraft either (i) the Agreed Value shall automatically be increased by the agreed value of such engine or (ii) separate hull insurance on such engine shall attach, so that, in each case, Lessor shall receive the full Agreed Value in the event of a Total Loss, notwithstanding any amount that would be payable to the owner of such engine in connection with such Total Loss. 4. All required liability insurances specified in Section 1(d) above shall: (a) include the Indemnitees as additional insureds for their respective rights and interests, but the coverage provided shall not include claims arising out of their legal liability as manufacturer, repairer or servicing agent of the Aircraft or any Engine or Part; (b) include a severability of interest clause; (c) contain a provision confirming that the policy is primary without right of contribution and that the liability of the insurers shall not be affected by any other insurance of which any Indemnitee or Lessee have the benefit; and (d) accept and insure the indemnity provisions of this Agreement to the extent of the risks covered by the relevant policy or policies. 5. All Insurances specified in Sections 1(a) through (d) above shall: (a) be in accordance with normal industry practice of Persons operating similar aircraft in similar circumstances; (b) provide coverage on a worldwide basis subject to those territorial exclusions which are usual and customary for airlines similarly situated as Lessee, and in the case of War Risks and Allied Perils coverage which are advised to and approved by Lessor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; (c) acknowledge that the insurers are aware that the Aircraft is owned by Lessor and is subject to this Agreement; (d) provide that, in relation to the interests of each of the additional insureds, the Insurances shall not be invalidated by any act or omission of the Insured which results in a breach of any terms, conditions or warranty of the policies; (e) provide that the Insurers shall waive any rights of recourse and/or subrogation against each additional insured to the same extent that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has waived or has no rights of recovery against such additional insured in the Lease; (f) provide that the additional insureds shall have no obligation or responsibility for the payment of any premiums (but reserve the right to pay the same should any of them elect to do so) and that the Insurers shall waive any right of offset or counterclaim against the respective additional insureds other than for outstanding premiums in respect of the Aircraft, any Engine or Part;
92 (g) provide that, except in the case of any provision for cancellation or automatic termination specified in the policies or endorsements thereof, the Insurances can only be canceled or materially altered in a manner adverse to the additional insureds by giving at least 30 days written notice to Lessor and each Financing Party, except in the case of war risks, for which seven days written notice shall be given; and (h) include a services of suit clause. 6. Where any provision of this Schedule 4 conflicts with the provisions of the airline finance/lease contract endorsements AVN 67C, AVN 67C (Hull War), and AVN 99 (Tail Cover Continuing Liability) or any successor endorsements, the provisions of AVN 67C, AVN 67C (Hull War) and AVN 99 (Tail Cover Continuing Liability), respectively, or any successor endorsements shall apply to the exclusion of the provisions of this Schedule 4. For purposes of each of AVN 67C, AVN 67C (Hull War), and AVN 99 (Tail Cover Continuing Liability), the "Designated Contract Party" shall be Lessor or such other Person as Lessor may designate from time to time. If AVN 67C is not accepted by ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s insurers, after being requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Lessee shall maintain the Insurances so as to incorporate the terms and conditions of AVN 67B and all references in this Agreement to AVN 67C (other than the reference in Section 9.6(a) of this Agreement) shall be construed as references to AVN 67B. 7. All Reinsurances shall: (a) be on the same terms as the Insurances and shall include the provisions of this Schedule; (b) provide that, notwithstanding any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceedings of or affecting the reinsured, the reinsurers' liability shall be to make such payment as would have fallen due under the relevant policy of reinsurance if the reinsured had (immediately before such bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceedings) discharged its obligations in full under the original insurance policies in respect of which the relevant policy of reinsurance has been effected; and (c) contain a "cut-through" clause in the following form (or such other form as is reasonably satisfactory to Lessor): "The Reinsurers and the Reinsured hereby agree that in the event of any valid claim arising hereunder, the Reinsurers shall in lieu of payment to the Reinsured, its successors in interest and assigns, pay to the party identified as loss payee under the original insurance effected by the Insured that portion of any loss due for which the Reinsurers would otherwise be liable to pay the Reinsured (subject to proof of loss), it being understood and agreed that any such payment by the Reinsurers shall fully discharge and release the Reinsurers from any and all further liability in connection therewith. To provide for payment to be made notwithstanding (a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or dissolution of the Reinsured and/or (b) the fact that the Reinsured has made no payment under the original insurances. The Reinsurers reserve the right to set off against any claim payable under the Reinsurance policy in accordance with this Clause any outstanding premiums (applicable to the Equipment involved in the Loss) covered by the original
93 insurance. Such set off shall first be applied to any financial interest of the Insured in the Equipment involved. If Reinsurers exercise their right to set off any outstanding premium, upon subsequent receipt by Reinsurers of such outstanding premium, Reinsurers hereby agree to refund the set off premium to the Contract Party(ies). Any payment due under this Clause shall not contravene any law, statute or decree of the Government of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s jurisdiction." 8. For insurance coverage that includes the AVN 67C endorsement (or the substantive equivalent), the Contract Parties (and their respective addresses) and the Contracts that should be identified in the insurance/reinsurance certificates are set forth in the Notice and Acknowledgment. 9. Any certificates or undertakings issued by any insurance broker in connection with the Insurances shall accurately evidence the Insurances and shall not contain any waivers or disclaimers of liability in respect of the information contained in such certificates or undertakings.
