5.22 No Deductions or Withholdings. All payments by LESSEE under this Lease, including the Security Deposit, Transaction Fee, Rent, Reserves, Default Interest, fees, indemnities or any other item, will be made in full without any deduction or withholding whether in respect of set-off, counterclaim, duties, or Taxes (as defined in Article 16) imposed in the State of Registration or any jurisdiction from which such payments are made unless LESSEE is prohibited by Law from doing so, in which event LESSEE will gross up the payment amount such that the net payment received by LESSOR after any deduction or withholding equals the amounts called for under this Lease. LESSEE will also do all of the following:

(a) Ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required;

(b) Pay to the relevant Government Entities within the period for payment permitted by applicable Law the full amount of the deduction or withholding (including the full amount of any deduction or withholding from any additional amount paid pursuant hereto) unless the same is being reasonably contested in good faith by LESSEE in accordance with applicable Law so long as such contest poses no likelihood of seizure or impairment of, or the imposition of a Security Interest on, the Aircraft or any other property of LESSOR; and

(c) Furnish to LESSOR within thirty (30) days after each payment a certified copy of an official receipt of the relevant Government Entities involved, if available, or other evidence of payment reasonably accepted by LESSOR for all amounts so deducted or withheld.

Notwithstanding the allocation set forth in LESSEE’s report, in the event LESSEE is in default under this Lease, LESSOR will have complete discretion to allocate LESSEE’s payments as LESSOR determines.

5.25 Net Lease.

5.25.1

This Lease is a net lease and LESSEE’s obligation to pay Rent and make other payments in accordance with this Lease will be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and regardless of other events, including the following:

(a) any right of set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right (including any right of reimbursement) which LESSEE may have against LESSOR, Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer or any other person for any reason, including any claim LESSEE may have for the foregoing;

(b) unavailability or interruption in use of the Aircraft for any reason, including a requisition thereof or any prohibition or interference with or other restriction against LESSEE’s use, operation or possession of the Aircraft (whether by Law or otherwise), any defect in title, airworthiness, merchantability, fitness for any purpose, condition, design, specification or operation of any kind or nature of the Aircraft, the ineligibility of the Aircraft for any particular use or trade or for registration under the Laws of any jurisdiction or Total Loss of the Aircraft;

(c) insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation, receivership, administration or similar proceedings by or against LESSOR, LESSEE, Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer or any other Person;

(d) invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization of or other defect in this Lease;

(e) failure or delay on the part of any party to perform its obligations under this Lease; or

(f) any other circumstance which but for this provision would or might have the effect of terminating or in any other way affecting any obligation of LESSEE hereunder.

5.25.2

Nothing in Article 5.11 will be construed to limit LESSEE’s rights and remedies in the event of LESSOR’s breach of its warranty of quiet enjoyment set forth in Article 21.2 or to limit LESSEE’s rights and remedies to pursue in a court of law any claim it may have against LESSOR or any other Person.

5.26 Currency Indemnity. If under any applicable Law, whether as a result of a judgment against LESSEE or the liquidation of LESSEE or for any other reason, any payment hereunder is required to be made or recovered in a currency other than Dollars then, to the extent that the payment (when converted into Dollars at the “rate of exchange” on the date of payment or, in the case of a liquidation, the latest date for the determination of liabilities permitted by the applicable Law) falls short of the amount payable under this Lease, LESSEE will as a separate and independent obligation, fully indemnify LESSOR against the amount of the shortfall. If the amount received by LESSOR upon converting the payment into Dollars exceeds the amount payable under this Lease, LESSOR will remit such excess to LESSEE. For the purposes of this paragraph “rate of exchange” means the rate at which LESSOR is able on the relevant date to purchase Dollars in New York or London (at LESSOR’s option) with such other currency.

5.27 LESSOR Performance of LESSEE Obligation. If LESSEE fails to make any payment under this Lease to a third party in connection with the Aircraft or fails to perform any other obligation required under this Lease, LESSOR may (but is not required to) at its election, after the expiry of any applicable cure or similar period and without waiver of its rights perform such obligation and/or pay such amount unless the same is being reasonably contested in good faith by LESSEE in accordance with applicable Law so long as such contest poses no likelihood of seizure or impairment of, or the imposition of a Security Interest on, the Aircraft or any other property of LESSOR.

5.28 Consideration for Rent and other Amounts. The amount of the Rent and other payments contained in this Lease are in consideration of LESSEE’s waiver of warranties and acceptance of the disclaimers and LESSEE’s provision of indemnities set forth in Articles 8 and 17, respectively, and the other provisions of this Lease.

INVOLVEMENT WITH AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURER

6.9 LESSEE Selection of Aircraft. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE DESCRIPTION OF THE AIRCRAFT SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE IS BASED UPON INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY MANUFACTURER.

6.10 Participation Agreement. LESSEE has the right to inspect the Aircraft during the manufacture process and to attend and observe the acceptance tests of the Aircraft pursuant to the terms of a Participation Agreement to be entered into between LESSEE and LESSOR in the form set forth in Exhibit B.

6.11 Procurement of BFE. LESSOR will procure all BFE for the Aircraft in accordance with the Aircraft specification set forth in Exhibit A. With respect to any additional BFE not part of such specifications, LESSOR and LESSEE agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to procure such BFE under the supplier contract of LESSOR or LESSEE which provides the most favorable pricing, unless LESSOR is prohibited from doing so or unless any such change could cause, in LESSOR’s reasonable opinion, a delay in Delivery of the Aircraft.

6.12 Assignment of Training. LESSOR agrees to give LESSEE a product support allowance as set forth in Appendix 3 of the Participation Agreement to be entered into between LESSEE and LESSOR in the form set forth in Exhibit B. If LESSEE fails to take Delivery of the Aircraft when tendered in accordance with Article 6.7, LESSEE will immediately pay to LESSOR an amount equal to the Dollar value of any goods or services used under the Participation Agreement.

6.13 LESSEE Inspection of Aircraft. During the course of final assembly of the Aircraft, and at Delivery, LESSEE will have its own representative present to inspect the Aircraft and to ensure its conformity with LESSEE’s needs and the terms of this Lease. LESSEE will have ground inspection and acceptance flight rights with respect to the Aircraft. LESSEE acknowledges that, as between LESSEE and LESSOR, in accepting the Aircraft LESSEE is relying on its own inspection and knowledge of the Aircraft in determining whether the Aircraft meets the requirements of this Lease.

6.14 Aircraft at Delivery. At Delivery, the Aircraft will be as set forth in Exhibit A, as such description may be modified by any change requests agreed to among LESSEE, LESSOR

and Manufacturer (which will be reflected in amendment(s) to this Lease). In the event of any discrepancies, LESSEE and LESSOR will cooperate in good faith with one another and with Manufacturer and the Engine and other manufacturers, as applicable, in order to arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of any such discrepancies.

6.15 Delivery of the Aircraft to LESSEE. Subject to LESSEE having performed all of the conditions precedent to Delivery set forth in this Lease (or LESSOR’s waiver of one or more of such conditions precedent), immediately following delivery of the Aircraft from Manufacturer to LESSOR, LESSOR will deliver the Aircraft to LESSEE at the Delivery Location. Upon tender of the Aircraft by LESSOR to LESSEE in the condition required by Article 6.6, LESSEE will accept the Aircraft and the date of tender by LESSOR to LESSEE will be deemed to be the Delivery Date for all purposes under this Lease, including the commencement of LESSEE’s obligation to pay Rent hereunder. However, nothing in this Lease will obligate LESSOR to deliver the Aircraft to LESSEE if LESSEE has not complied with the conditions contained in Articles 7.1 and 7.2.

6.16 LESSEE Acceptance of Aircraft. If LESSEE fails to (a) comply with its obligations set forth in the Participation Agreement pursuant to Article 6.2, (b) comply with the conditions contained in Articles 7.1 and 7.2 so as to allow Delivery to take place immediately following delivery of the Aircraft by Manufacturer to LESSOR or (c) take delivery of the Aircraft when properly tendered for delivery by LESSOR in the condition required hereunder, LESSEE will indemnify LESSOR for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by LESSOR as a result thereof including (without limitation) any payments other than the purchase price which LESSOR becomes obliged to make to Manufacturer which result directly from LESSEE’s failure to comply with said conditions.

ARTICLE 10

OPERATION OF AIRCRAFT

10.6 Costs of Operation. LESSEE will pay all costs incurred in the operation of the Aircraft during the Lease Term and until the Termination Date, for profit or otherwise, including the costs of flight crews, cabin personnel, fuel, oil, lubricants, maintenance, insurance, storage, landing and navigation fees, airport charges, passenger service and any and all other expenses of any kind or nature, directly or indirectly, in connection with or related to the use, movement and operation of the Aircraft.

10.7 Compliance with Laws. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Lease, LESSEE agrees throughout the Lease Term and until the Termination Date to maintain operational control of the Aircraft and use the Aircraft in accordance with applicable Laws of the State of Registration and of any country, state, territory or municipality into or over which LESSEE may operate. LESSEE will not employ, suffer or cause the Aircraft to be used in any business which is forbidden by Law or in any manner which may render it liable to condemnation, destruction, seizure, or confiscation by any authority. LESSEE will not permit the Aircraft to fly to any airport or country if so doing would cause LESSEE or LESSOR to be in violation of any Law applicable to either of them or the Aircraft, except as may be reasonably required to preserve the Aircraft or the safety, well being or life of passengers or crew; provided, however, in such case, LESSEE shall immediately notify LESSOR and undertake its best efforts to remove the Aircraft from such airport or country as soon as reasonably possible.

10.8 Training. LESSEE will not use the Aircraft for testing or for training of flight crew members other than LESSEE crew members and will not use the Aircraft for training any more than it utilizes for training the other aircraft in its fleet.

10.9 No Violation of Insurance Policies. LESSEE will not use or permit the Aircraft to be used in any manner or for any purpose which is not covered by the insurance policies LESSEE is required to carry and maintain as set forth in this Lease. LESSEE will not carry any goods of any description excepted or exempted from such policies or do any other act or permit to be done anything which could reasonably be expected to invalidate or limit any such insurance policies.

10.10 Flight and Airport Charges.

10.10.1

LESSEE will pay promptly when due all airport or enroute navigation charges (including Eurocontrol charges), navigation service charges, landing fees and all charges due and payable by LESSEE for the use of or for services provided at any airport, whether in respect of the Aircraft or any other aircraft of LESSEE, unless

ARTICLE 10

OPERATION OF AIRCRAFT

the same is being reasonably contested in good faith by LESSEE in accordance with applicable Law, so long as such contest poses no likelihood of seizure or impairment of, or the imposition of a Security Interest on, the Aircraft or any other property of LESSOR.

10.10.2

If requested in writing by LESSOR (but not more frequently than twice annually, unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), LESSEE will provide LESSOR with a list of the airports to which LESSEE regularly operates the Aircraft or its other aircraft (in the event that the operation of such other aircraft may reasonably be expected to give rise to a lien on the Aircraft for landing, navigation, parking, storage or similar charges). LESSEE hereby authorizes Eurocontrol (if applicable) or another aviation authority or airport or creditor claiming or threatening to claim a Security Interest in the Aircraft to confirm the status of LESSEE’s payments to such creditor in respect of navigation, landing, parking, storage and similar charges for the Aircraft and its other aircraft, to the extent that the failure to make any payment in respect of such other aircraft has or might give rise to a Security Interest in the Aircraft, as and when requested by LESSOR.

SUBLEASES

11.9 No Sublease without LESSOR Consent. LESSEE WILL NOT SUBLEASE OR PART WITH POSSESSION OF THE AIRCRAFT (EXCEPT FOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR) AT ANY TIME WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESSOR (NOT TO BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD) AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH REQUIREMENTS AS MAY FROM TIME TO TIME BE AGREED IN WRITING BETWEEN LESSOR AND LESSEE. NO SUBLEASING OF AN ENGINE WILL BE PERMITTED.

11.10 LESSOR Costs. LESSEE will indemnify LESSOR on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees) incurred in connection with LESSOR’s assessment of the subleasing proposal (whether or not LESSOR’s consent to such sublease is ultimately given) and implementation of the sublease.

11.11 Permitted Sublessees. LESSOR hereby acknowledges that upon a request by LESSEE for a sublease in accordance with this Article 11 to one of the following entities, LESSOR shall consent to such sublease, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed: TACA International Airlines, S.A.; Lineas Aereas Costarricenses, S.A.; AVIATECA, S.A.; TACA Costa Rica, S.A.; and Trans American Airlines, S.A. (d/b/a TACA PERU); provided, however, that at the time of such consent such entity has not suffered such a material deterioration in its condition such that a sublease to it would reasonably be expected to result in the operation or maintenance of the Aircraft in contravention of one or more terms of this Lease, and that nothing herein shall limit the terms and requirements otherwise set forth in this Article 11.

11.12 Any Approved Sublease. Any sublease approved by LESSOR will be for a term no greater than the remaining Lease Term. The applicable sublease agreement will contain provisions consistent with this Lease protecting LESSOR’s title to the Aircraft, providing appropriate LESSOR disclaimers and indemnities, regarding the maintenance and repair standards for the Aircraft and concerning the insurances which will be carried by the sublessee and the circumstances which constitute a Total Loss of the Aircraft. Any such sublease will be subject and subordinate to this Lease. LESSOR will have an opportunity to review the proposed sublease agreement in advance in order to determine that it meets the requirements of this Article 11.4. In its sole discretion, LESSOR may require an opinion of counsel in connection with such sublease, including LESSOR’s right to repossess the Aircraft in the event of an Event of Default hereunder and LESSEE’s and LESSOR’s rights to repossession in the case of an event of default under such sublease. LESSEE will not amend the terms of any approved sublease agreement without the prior written consent of LESSOR, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

ARTICLE 11

In addition, LESSEE will obtain in favor of LESSOR a power of attorney from the approved sublessee for purposes of the Cape Town Convention in the form of Exhibit I.

11.15 Wet Leases. The wet leasing of the Aircraft during the Lease Term (in which LESSEE and its crews retain operational control of the Aircraft) will not be considered a sublease of the Aircraft and will be permitted without LESSOR’s consent, provided that (a) the Aircraft remains registered in the State of Registration, (b) the Aircraft will neither be based in nor operated in or to a Prohibited Country, (c) LESSEE provides LESSOR with either a certified copy of the applicable provisions from the wet lease agreement or an officer’s certificate confirming that LESSEE or the wet lessee will be responsible for maintaining the primary passenger, baggage and cargo liability insurance relating to operation under the wet lease unless LESSEE shall be responsible under the Wet Lease for maintaining the same and (d) LESSEE complies with Article 18.10.

11.16 Continued Responsibility of LESSEE. LESSEE will continue to be responsible for performance of its obligations under this Lease during any period of sublease or wet lease.

ARTICLE 11

SUBLEASES

ARTICLE 12

MAINTENANCE OF AIRCRAFT

12.14 General Obligation. During the Lease Term and until the Termination Date, LESSEE alone has the obligation, at its expense, to maintain and repair the Aircraft, Engines, APU and all of the Parts (a) in accordance with the Maintenance Program, (b) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Aviation Authority, (c) in accordance with Manufacturer’s type design, (d) in accordance with any other regulations or requirements necessary in order to maintain a valid Certificate of Airworthiness for the Aircraft and meet the requirements at all times during the Lease Term and upon return of the Aircraft to LESSOR for issuance of a Standard Certificate of Airworthiness for transport category aircraft issued by the FAA in accordance with FAR Part 21 (except during those periods when the Aircraft is undergoing maintenance or repairs as required or permitted by this Lease and to the extent in conflict with the requirements of the Aviation Authority) and (e) in the same manner and with the same care as used by LESSEE with respect to similar aircraft and engines operated by LESSEE and without in any way discriminating against the Aircraft as compared to such other aircraft.

12.15 Specific Engine Requirements.

12.15.1

No Engine will remain in an unserviceable condition for more than three (3) months, unless engine restoration or repair is ongoing and has not been suspended or delayed without reasonable cause and LESSEE is using commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Engine to be returned to service.

12.15.2

When replacing Parts in an Engine, LESSEE will use original equipment manufacturer parts (“OEM Parts”). If LESSEE wishes to replace Parts in an Engine with parts which are not OEM Parts, LESSEE must obtain approval from LESSOR before such parts are installed, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If given, LESSOR’s approval will generally be given only for the installation of parts manufactured in accordance with FAR Part 21.303 (or its EASA equivalent) (“PMA Parts”) which are consumable parts such as brackets, gaskets and seals. The use of stationary and high energy rotating PMA Parts in the gaspath will not be approved by LESSOR. Any proposed repair to an OEM Part or PMA Part in an Engine which has been approved by an FAA Designated Engineering Representative (DER) must also be approved by LESSOR prior to performance of the repair, such LESSOR approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

ARTICLE 12

MAINTENANCE OF AIRCRAFT

12.15.3

LESSEE will not discriminate against the Engines with respect to build standards and life-limited Part replacements. Without limiting the foregoing, at any shop visit during which a Qualified Performance Restoration is performed, LESSEE will

(a) build the Engine life-limited Parts to at least 6,000 cycles remaining and

(b) perform, at a minimum, a workscope sufficient to allow such Engine to achieve at least 10,000 hours and 6,000 cycles of operation following such shop visit.

12.15.4

With respect to the last Engine shop visit of an Engine prior to return of the Aircraft, LESSEE will submit to LESSOR at least thirty (30) days in advance the intended workscope of such shop visit, unless the shop visit is unscheduled, in which case LESSEE will immediately notify LESSOR and the workscope will be submitted to LESSOR as soon as it is available. If LESSOR requests, LESSEE will perform additional work at such shop visit at LESSOR’s cost; provided, however, that in the event that through no fault of LESSEE such work delays the return of the Aircraft to LESSOR or causes the Engine to be removed from LESSEE’s revenue service for a period in excess of the period the Engine would have been removed from revenue service had such additional work not been ordered, Article 23.13 shall be applicable and LESSEE and LESSOR will negotiate in good faith to expedite the return and minimize the costs incurred by the parties.

12.15.5

LESSEE will not enter into any Engine maintenance cost per flight hour, power-by-the-hour or similar agreement with the Engine Manufacturer or any other Engine maintenance facility or organization without LESSOR’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. LESSEE will be responsible at its cost for performing all work necessary to meet the return conditions with respect to the Engines set forth in Article 23 even if such work is not covered by LESSEE’s Engine maintenance agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, any such Engine maintenance agreement will provide that:

(a) LESSOR will receive and retain the Engine Performance Restoration Reserves paid by LESSEE with respect to an Engine until an Engine shop visit has been completed and the applicable Engine has been released to LESSEE;

(b) LESSEE will pay the Engine maintenance facility directly for any costs in excess of the amount reimbursable from the Engine Performance Restoration Reserves, including any differential between the hourly Engine Performance Restoration Reserves payable by LESSEE to LESSOR and the hourly rates charged by the Engine maintenance facility; and

(c) LESSEE will pay the Engine maintenance facility directly for any services provided by the Engine maintenance facility over and above repair of the Engines, such as trend monitoring, spare engines or spare parts.

ARTICLE 12

12.16.1

LESSEE will perform all routine and nonroutine maintenance work in accordance with the Maintenance Program.

12.16.2

LESSEE will perform all applicable Airworthiness Directives, all mandatory service bulletins of Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer and other vendors or manufacturers of Parts incorporated on the Aircraft and all other service bulletins which must be performed in order to maintain the warranties on the Aircraft, Engines, APU and Parts.

12.16.3

LESSEE will incorporate in the Aircraft all other service bulletins of Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer and other vendors which LESSEE schedules to adopt during the Lease Term for the rest of its Airbus A319 aircraft fleet. It is the intent of the parties that, in terms of service bulletin compliance (including method of compliance) and other maintenance matters, the Aircraft not be discriminated against in comparison to the rest of LESSEE’s fleet of similar aircraft unless LESSEE’s exclusion of the Aircraft is reasonable and occurs during the last year of the Lease Term.

12.16.4

LESSEE’s Maintenance Program for the Aircraft will include a corrosion prevention and control program as recommended by Manufacturer and all discrepancies will be corrected in accordance with the recommendations of Manufacturer and the Structural Repair Manual. In addition, all inspected areas will be properly treated with corrosion inhibitor as recommended by Manufacturer.

12.16.5

In addition, all repairs to the Aircraft will be accomplished in accordance with Manufacturer’s Structural Repair Manual (or FAA-approved data supported by FAA Form 8110-3 or 8100-9). All Modifications will also be accomplished in accordance with FAA-approved data.

12.17 Replacement of Parts.

12.17.1

LESSEE, at its own cost and expense, will promptly replace all Parts which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or rendered unfit or beyond economical repair (BER) for use for any reason. In the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, Overhaul or testing, LESSEE may remove any Part provided that LESSEE replaces such Part as promptly as practicable. All replacement Parts will (a) be owned by LESSEE free and clear of all Security Interests (except Permitted Liens) of any kind or description (or, if not owned by LESSEE, LESSEE guarantees to LESSOR such title and clearance of all Security Interests), (b) be in airworthy condition and of at least equivalent model, service bulletin and modification status and have a value and utility at least equal to the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof and (c) meet the requirements of Articles 12.3.7 or 12.3.8, as applicable. So long as a substitution meets the requirements of the Maintenance Program and Aviation Authority, LESSEE may substitute for any Part a part that does not meet the requirements of the foregoing sentence if a complying Part cannot be procured or installed within the available ground time of the Aircraft and as soon as practicable having due regard to LESSEE’s operations, the noncomplying part is removed and replaced by a complying Part. Any replacement Parts will also comply with the requirements set forth in Article 12.2.2.

ARTICLE 12

MAINTENANCE OF AIRCRAFT

12.17.2

All Parts removed from the Aircraft will remain the property of LESSOR and subject to this Lease no matter where located, until such time as such Parts have been replaced by Parts (which have been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft) which meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified above and title to such replacement Parts has passed to LESSOR under the Laws of the State of Registration and the lex situs. To the extent permitted by the Laws of the State of Registration and the lex situs, it is the intent of LESSOR and LESSEE that without further act and immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated, installed or attached to the Aircraft as above provided, (a) title to the removed Part will thereupon vest in LESSEE, free and clear of all rights of LESSOR, (b) title to the replacement Part will thereupon vest in LESSOR free and clear of all rights of LESSEE and (c) such replacement Part will become subject to this Lease and be deemed to be a Part hereunder to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft.

12.18 Removal of Engines.

12.18.1

provisions of Article 19.5 will apply. To the extent another Creditor Agreement contains such provisions, then LESSOR hereby agrees for the benefit of the Creditor of such Creditor Agreement that neither LESSOR nor its successors or assigns will acquire or claim any right, title or interest in any engine in which LESSEE or another Creditor has an interest as a result of such engine being installed on the Airframe nor any right, title or interest in any airframe of such Creditor on which an Engine is installed.

12.22 Modifications.

12.22.1

No modification, alteration or addition to or removal from the Aircraft (“Modification”) expected to cost over ***** or deviation from the Aircraft’s original type design or configuration will be made without the prior written consent of LESSOR, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Airworthiness Directives, Manufacturer’s service bulletins and other mandatory orders and service bulletins, compliance with which are required under this Lease, will not constitute “Modifications” and will not require LESSOR consent.

12.22.2

LESSOR may review LESSEE’s proposed designs, plans, engineering drawings and diagrams, and flight and maintenance manual revisions for any proposed Modification. If requested by LESSOR, LESSEE will furnish LESSOR (at LESSEE’s expense) with such documents in final form and any other documents required by Law, as a result of such Modification. All modifications incorporated on the Aircraft will be properly documented in the Aircraft Documentation as required by and shall, if required, be approved by the FAA and the Aviation Authority. All Modifications will also be accomplished in accordance with FAA and Aviation Authority-approved data. All major modifications will be supported by an STC FAA Form 8100-9 or FAA Form 8110-3.

12.22.3

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, no modification will be made which has the effect of decreasing the utility or value of the Aircraft or invalidating any warranty applicable to the Aircraft.

12.22.4

No modification will be made by LESSEE if an Event of Default exists and is continuing hereunder.

12.22.5

Unless otherwise agreed by LESSOR in writing, all permanent or structural modifications will forthwith become a part of the Aircraft and LESSEE relinquishes to LESSOR all rights and title thereto. However, all temporary and nonstructural modifications will remain the property of LESSEE and, at LESSOR’s request and LESSEE cost, will be removed from the Aircraft prior to return of the Aircraft, with

ARTICLE 12

MAINTENANCE OF AIRCRAFT

LESSEE restoring the Aircraft to the condition it was in prior to the modification in a manner cosmetically acceptable to LESSOR acting reasonably. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such removal will be permitted without LESSOR’s permission after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, without the requirement of any further act or notice, all right, title and interest in such modifications will immediately vest in LESSOR unless and until such Event of Default is cured to LESSOR’s reasonable satisfaction.

12.22.6

LESSOR will bear no liability for the cost of modifications of the Aircraft whether in the event of grounding or suspensions of certification, or for any other cause.

12.23 Performance of Work by Third Parties.

12.23.1

All off-wing maintenance and repair work on an Engine, the APU and the Landing Gear must be performed by an FAA-approved repair station unless otherwise approved in advance by LESSOR.

12.23.2

Whenever maintenance or repair work on the Airframe or on-wing maintenance or repair work on an Engine or the APU will be performed by a Person other than LESSEE, such Person must be an FAA-approved repair station.

12.24 Reporting Requirements.

12.24.1

Commencing with a report furnished ten (10) days after the end of the calendar month in which Delivery occurs, LESSEE will furnish to LESSOR a Monthly Report in English in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M. Each Monthly Report will be furnished within ten (10) days after the end of each calendar month, except that the Monthly Report pertaining to the last month (or any portion thereof) of flying will be furnished to LESSOR on the Termination Date.

12.24.2

On each anniversary of the Delivery Date, following each twenty (20)-month period during the Lease Term, LESSEE will provide LESSOR with a Technical Evaluation Report for the Aircraft in the form and substance of Exhibit O, as revised.

12.24.3

From time to time, LESSEE will provide LESSOR with such other technical information or documents as LESSOR may reasonably request.

12.25 Maintenance Policies and Procedures Manuals. At LESSOR’s request for the purposes of demonstrating to LESSOR how the Aircraft has been maintained, LESSEE at reasonable times without disruption of its operations and not more often that once annually, provide LESSOR, at LESSOR’s cost (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing),

ARTICLE 12

MAINTENANCE OF AIRCRAFT

with on site access to its Maintenance Program, general maintenance manual, general policies and procedures manual, maintenance exposition manual, general engineering manual, or their equivalents, and any other related controlled documentation which affects the Aircraft. Recognizing that LESSEE’s maintenance policies and procedures manuals are proprietary to LESSEE, LESSOR agrees that no copies of the same will be made without the consent of the LESSEE and that the same will be only utilized as set forth in this Article 12.12 and Article 23.6.

If the Aircraft is at a third party maintenance facility, LESSEE will use reasonably efforts to cause such facility to allow LESSOR and/or its authorized agents or representatives (which may be Manufacturer or the Engine Manufacturer) to inspect and take photographs of the Aircraft and review the Aircraft Documentation, notwithstanding the fact that LESSEE (as the party opening the work order) is considered the “customer” of such facility, subject, in each case, to the rules, regulations and conditions of such maintenance facility and compliance by LESSOR and/or its authorized representatives or agents therewith.

12.26.4

LESSOR will provide LESSEE with reasonable notice prior to any inspection by LESSOR and/or its authorized agents or representatives (which may be Manufacturer or the Engine Manufacturer) and will coordinate with LESSEE and/or any applicable third party maintenance facility so as to cause minimum practical disturbance to the operation or maintenance of the Aircraft or the personnel of LESSEE or the applicable third party maintenance facility.

12.26.5

In the event that LESSOR disagrees with or otherwise disputes any information provided by LESSEE with respect to the Aircraft (unless LESSOR reasonably believes that LESSEE would not provide the information), LESSEE expressly authorizes and consents to allowing Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer and their field service representatives to provide LESSOR with information about the condition and maintenance of the Aircraft (including the Aircraft Documentation) on an ongoing basis. Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer and their field service representatives may report their findings and provide documentation to LESSOR without the need for any further notice to or authorization from LESSEE.

ARTICLE 12

MAINTENANCE OF AIRCRAFT

12.26.6

LESSOR will have no duty to make any inspection of the Aircraft and will not incur any liability or obligation by reason of (and LESSEE’s indemnity obligations pursuant to Article 17 will apply notwithstanding) LESSOR and/or its authorized agents or representatives making or not making any such inspection or by reason of any reports LESSOR receives regarding the Aircraft.

13.18 Reimbursement.

13.18.1

LESSEE will be entitled to reimbursement from the Reserves after the work is completed and the Airframe, Engine, Landing Gear or APU, as applicable, has left the repair agency, by submitting reasonable evidence (which shall include the items below) of performance of such work and, if requested by LESSOR, an invoice from LESSEE to LESSOR for LESSEE’s reimbursement claim within six (6) months after completion of the work. If LESSEE seeks reimbursement from the Reserves for work performed by LESSEE, such work will be charged at LESSEE’s out-of-pocket and unburdened labor and material costs. LESSEE may only seek reimbursement from the Airframe Reserves one time in any calendar year.

13.18.2

For the Airframe, reasonable evidence of performance includes a list of all routine and nonroutine tasks performed with corresponding references to the MPD and an itemized labor and materials report.

13.18.3

For an Engine and the APU, reasonable evidence of performance includes (a) an original invoice from LESSEE to LESSOR for LESSEE’s reimbursement claim, (b) a description of the reason for removal, (c) the date of removal and the aircraft removed from (which may be the Aircraft), (d) the total hours and cycles at the time

13.18.4

For the Landing Gear, reasonable evidence of performance includes (i) a release tag from the overhaul facility and all associated build records, including traceability on all life-limited parts, and (ii) the total calendar time, hours and cycles on the Landing Gear both prior to and after the Overhaul.

13.19 Reimbursement Adjustment.

13.19.1

By way of example, among the exclusions from reimbursement are work or items:

(a) resulting from repairs actually covered by LESSEE’s or a third party’s insurance (deductibles being for the account of LESSEE and not reimbursable) or covered by warranties to the extent of recovery by LESSEE under such insurance or warranties; or

(b) required as a result of an Airworthiness Directive, manufacturer’s service bulletin (unless approved in advance by LESSOR, which approval will not be unnecessarily withheld or delayed), negligence, nonroutine or nonscheduled maintenance, faulty maintenance or installation, improper operations, misuse, accident, incident, ingestion (foreign object damage) or other accidental cause.

13.19.2

All invoices subject to reimbursement from LESSOR will be reduced (by adjustment between LESSEE and LESSOR retroactively if necessary) by the actual amounts received by LESSEE on account of such work from responsible third parties or other sources, such as insurance proceeds, manufacturer’s warranties, guarantees, concessions and credits (including, with respect to Engines, credits due to life remaining on any removed Engine Parts). Notwithstanding anything to the

ARTICLE 13

USE OF RESERVES

contrary herein, in the event that any accident, incident, injection incident or other accidental cause necessitates a repair and during such repair the workscope performed results in performance restoration to the Engine or installation of LLPs with more life remaining, the performance of such workscope may be claimed by LESSEE from the Engine Performance Restoration Reserves and/or Engine LLP Reserves.

13.20 Costs in Excess of Reserves. LESSEE will be responsible for payment of all costs in excess of the amounts reimbursed hereunder. If on any occasion the available balance in the Airframe Reserves, Engine Performance Restoration Reserves for a particular Engine, Engine LLP Reserves for a particular Engine, Landing Gear Reserves or APU Reserves (at the time of the structural check, in the case of the Airframe, or at the time of removal, in the case of an Engine, the Landing Gear and the APU) is insufficient to satisfy a claim for reimbursement in respect of the Airframe, such Engine, the Landing Gear or the APU; as applicable, the shortfall may not be carried forward or made the subject of any further claim for reimbursement.

13.21 Reimbursement after Termination Date. LESSEE may not submit any invoice for reimbursement from the Reserves after the Termination Date unless on or prior to such date LESSEE has notified LESSOR in writing that such outstanding invoice will be submitted after the Termination Date and the anticipated amount of such invoice. So long as LESSEE has provided such notice to LESSOR, LESSEE may then submit such outstanding invoice at any time within six (6) months after the Termination Date. Subject to the foregoing, any balance remaining in the Reserves on the Termination Date, including termination on account of a Total Loss of the Aircraft, will be retained by LESSOR.

13.22 Total Loss. Upon receipt by LESSOR of the Agreed Value and all other amounts then due by LESSEE, LESSOR shall return to LESSEE ***** of all amounts then held by LESSOR as reserves. In the event of a Total Loss and payment of the Agreed Value in accordance with the terms of this Article 13.11, LESSEE agrees that no invoices to LESSOR will be reimbursed.

(a) the Aircraft, Engines, APU or any Parts;

(b) the use, operation or maintenance of the Aircraft or carriage of passengers or freight during the Lease Term and until the Termination Date;

(a) Taxes imposed by the U.S. or the State of California or the City or County of Los Angeles on the gross or net income, gross receipts, gains, profits, capital or net worth of LESSOR;

(b) Taxes attributable to the period prior to Delivery or after the Termination Date;

(c) Taxes attributable to LESSOR’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Lease or any other agreement, document or instrument entered into and/or delivered in connection herewith by or between LESSOR and LESSEE (unless such breach was caused by an act or omission by LESSEE);

ARTICLE 16

TAXES

(d) Taxes imposed upon LESSOR by any jurisdiction which would have been imposed upon LESSOR had LESSOR and LESSEE not entered into and consummated the transactions contemplated by this Lease and other Taxes imposed upon LESSOR as a result of any past, present or future activities of LESSOR in the jurisdiction imposing any such Taxes which are unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Lease;

(e) Taxes imposed upon LESSOR as a result of a sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, whether voluntary or involuntary, by LESSOR or any Person claiming by or through LESSOR of all or any part of its interest in or to the Aircraft and/or this Lease unless, in each case, such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition occurs pursuant to (i) Article 11 , 12 or 19 of this Lease or (ii) the exercise of remedies pursuant to Article 25 of this Lease;

(f) Taxes attributable to a LESSOR’s Lien, to the extent that such Taxes would not have arisen or been assessed in the absence of a LESSOR’s Lien;

(g) Taxes or additional or incremental Taxes and penalties or interest thereon that would not have been imposed but for a failure of LESSOR to provide, following a reasonable request therefor, information necessary for LESSEE to complete and file any tax return or request an otherwise legally available exemption or which result from any failure by LESSOR to file any return which LESSOR is required by Law to file in respect of any such Tax; but only if such information was reasonably available to LESSOR and, in the case of certificates, documentation or other evidence requiring disclosure of knowledge of factual information (such as the location of an Aircraft) that is known to LESSEE but not readily ascertainable by such LESSOR, only if LESSEE provides such information to LESSOR in a timely manner and at LESSEE’s cost;

(h) Without limiting LESSOR’s right to pursue payment from LESSEE for a particular Tax under this Article 16 or Article 25.6, Taxes for which LESSOR actually receives payment from LESSEE for under any provision of this Lease and the payment of which would otherwise constitute a double recovery;

(i) Taxes which are not yet due or are being contested in good faith by LESSOR or any Person claiming by or through LESSOR by appropriate proceedings, during the pendency of such proceedings; or

(j) Taxes which constitute the normal operating expense or overhead of LESSOR.

ARTICLE 16

16.11 After-Tax Basis. The amount which LESSEE is required to pay with respect to any Taxes indemnified against under Article 16.1 is an amount sufficient to restore LESSOR on an after-tax basis to the same position LESSOR would have been in had such Taxes not been incurred.

16.12 Timing of Payment. Any amount payable to LESSOR pursuant to, this Article 16 will be paid within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a written demand therefor from LESSOR accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount so payable; provided, however, that such amount need not be paid by LESSEE prior to the earlier of (a) the date any Tax is payable to the appropriate Government Entity or taxing authority or (b) in the case of amounts which are being contested by LESSEE in good faith or by LESSOR pursuant to Article 16.5, the date such contest is finally resolved.

16.13 Contests. If a claim is made against LESSOR for Taxes with respect to which LESSEE is liable for a payment or indemnity under this Lease, LESSOR will promptly give LESSEE notice in writing of such claim; provided, however, that LESSOR’s failure to give notice will not relieve LESSEE of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure materially impairs or precludes LESSEE’s ability to contest the claim or results in penalties, interest or additions to Taxes which are attributable to such delay. So long as (a) a contest of such Taxes does not involve any likelihood of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or any interest therein, (b) if LESSOR so requests, LESSEE has provided LESSOR with an opinion of independent tax counsel that a reasonable basis exists for contesting such claim and (c) adequate reserves have been made for such Taxes or, if required, an adequate bond has been posted, then LESSOR at LESSEE’s written request will in good faith, with due diligence and at LESSEE’s expense, contest (or permit LESSEE to contest in the name of LESSEE or LESSOR) the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes.

16.14 Refunds. Upon receipt by LESSOR of a refund of all or any part of any Taxes (including any deductions or withholdings referred to in Article 5.8) which LESSEE has paid, LESSOR will pay to LESSEE the net amount of such Taxes refunded.

16.15 Cooperation in Filing Tax Returns. LESSEE and LESSOR will cooperate with one another in providing information which may be reasonably required to fulfill each party’s tax filing requirements and any audit information request arising from such filing.

For the avoidance of doubt, LESSEE will for purposes of the calculation and its payment of the Mexican assets tax (including without limitation Article 25 of the Assets Tax Law Regulation), elect to treat its rights on the Aircraft pursuant to this Lease as an “asset”.

17.14 Timing of Payment. It is the intent of the parties that each Indemnitee will have the right to indemnification for Expenses hereunder as soon as a claim is made and as soon as an Expense is incurred, whether or not such claim is meritorious and whether or not liability is established (but subject to Article 17.8). LESSEE will pay an Indemnitee for Expenses pursuant to this Article 17 within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity.

17.15 Subrogation. Upon the payment in full of any indemnity pursuant to this Article 17 by LESSEE, LESSEE will be subrogated to any right of the Indemnitee in respect of the matter against which such indemnity has been made.

17.16 Notice. Each Indemnitee and LESSEE will give prompt written notice one to the other of any liability of which such party has knowledge for which LESSEE is, or may be, liable under Article 17.1; provided, however, that failure to give such notice will not terminate any of the rights of Indemnitees under this Article 17 except to the extent that LESSEE has been materially prejudiced by the failure to provide such notice.

17.17 Refunds. If any Indemnitee obtains a recovery of all or any part of any amount which LESSEE has paid to such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee will pay to LESSEE the net amount recovered by such Indemnitee.

17.18 Defense of Claims. Unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, LESSEE and its insurers will have the right (in each such case at LESSEE’s sole expense) to investigate or, provided that LESSEE or its insurers have not reserved the right to dispute liability with respect to any insurance policies pursuant to which coverage is sought, defend or compromise any claim covered by insurance for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Article 17.1 and each Indemnitee will cooperate with LESSEE or its insurers with respect thereto. If LESSEE or its insurers are retaining attorneys to handle such claim, such counsel must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitees. If not, the Indemnitees will have the right to retain counsel of their choice at LESSEE’s expense.

17.19 No Double Recovery. Without limiting LESSOR’s right to pursue payment from LESSEE for a particular Expense under both this Article 17 and Article 25.6, LESSOR will not be entitled to actually receive payment from LESSEE for the same Expense twice.

18.18 Categories of Insurance. Throughout the Lease Term and until the Termination Date, LESSEE will, at its own expense, effect and maintain in full force and effect the types of insurance and amounts of insurance (including deductibles) described in Exhibit C through such brokers and with such insurers as may be acceptable to LESSOR, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, in London or New York or such other insurance markets as mutually agreed upon by the parties.

18.19 Write-back of any Date Recognition Exclusion. In the event any of LESSEE’s insurances (either the primary insurance or the reinsurance) contain any date recognition exclusion clause or similar clause excluding from such insurance coverage damage to any property (including the Aircraft) or death or injury to any person on account of accidents, incidents or occurrences caused by date recognition or other Year 2000-related problems, LESSEE at its cost will obtain for the benefit of itself, and LESSOR the broadest write-back available in the London or U.S. insurance market with respect to such exclusion.

18.20 Write-backs of LSW555.D and AVN48C Exclusions. In the event that a write-back of the exclusions (losses due to causes such as dirty bombs, electromagnetic weapons, radioactive contamination and chemical, biological and/or biochemical hazards) to the standard London policy forms LSW555.D and, if issued, AVN48C becomes available at commercially reasonable terms, LESSEE at its cost will obtain for the benefit of itself and LESSOR the broadest write-back available in the London or U.S. insurance market with respect to such exclusions to the extent and with policy limits consistent with general market practices applicable to similarly situated carriers or, if greater, as maintained in respect of any other aircraft of like make and model in LESSEE’s fleet.

18.21 Installation of Third Party Engine. If LESSEE installs an engine not owned by LESSOR on the Aircraft, either (a) LESSEE’s hull insurance on the Aircraft will automatically increase to such higher amount as is necessary in order to satisfy both LESSOR’s requirement to receive the Agreed Value in the event of a Total Loss and the amount required by the third party engine owner or (b) separate additional insurance on such engine will attach in order to satisfy separately the requirements of the LESSEE to such third party engine owner.

18.22 LESSOR Coverage for LES SEE’s Employees. LESSOR and the other additional insureds will be covered under LESSEE’s legal liability insurance for death or injury to LESSEE’s employees.

18.7 Insurance required by Manufacturer. During the Lease Term, LESSEE will carry any insurance required by Manufacturer in connection with the assignment of any Manufacturer warranties, customer support or product support to LESSEE.

18.8 Renewal. From time to time when reasonably requested by LESSOR, LESSEE will confirm to LESSOR regarding the status of the renewal or replacement of LESSEE’s insurance. Prior to or on the expiration or termination date of any insurance required hereunder, LESSEE will provide LESSOR with fax or e-mail confirmation from LESSEE’s insurance brokers that such insurance has been renewed or has been replaced in a mariner consistent with the requirements hereof and that certificates of insurance evidencing the renewal or replacement of such insurance and complying with Exhibit C will be issued on the termination date of the prior certificate. Within seven (7) days after such renewal, LESSEE will furnish its brokers’ certificates of insurance to LESSOR.

18.9 Assignment of Rights by LESSOR. If LESSOR assigns all or any of its rights under this Lease or otherwise disposes of any interest in the Aircraft to any other Person, LESSEE will, upon written request, procure that such Person, in each case as permitted by this Lease, hereunder be added as loss payee and/or additional assured in the policies effected hereunder and, if applicable substituted as Loss Payee under the hull insurance and enjoy the same rights and insurance enjoyed by LESSOR under such policies. LESSOR will nevertheless continue to be covered by such policies.

18.10 Insurance for Wet Lease Operations. In the event LESSEE is performing wet lease operations with the Aircraft pursuant to Article 11.7 and the wet lessee is carrying the primary passenger, baggage cargo liability insurance with respect to the flights, then such insurance will meet the requirements of Exhibit C, including with respect to the amounts of coverage, naming of LESSOR as an additional insured and inclusion of the other endorsements described in Exhibit C. Moreover, LESSEE will at all times carry contingent passenger, baggage and cargo liability insurances for such flights. Prior to commencement of wet lease operations for a particular wet lessee, LESSOR will receive certificates of insurance from the insurance brokers for LESSEE and, if applicable, the wet lessee evidencing such coverages.

18.11 Other Insurance. In the event of a material change in standard market practices with respect to air carriers similarly situated to LESSEE occurs following Delivery, LESSOR may, acting reasonably and upon consultation with LESSEE’s designated brokers and other

ARTICLE 18

18.12 Information. LESSEE will provide LESSOR with any information reasonably requested by LESSOR from time to time concerning the insurance maintained with respect to the Aircraft or in connection with any claim being made or proposed to be made thereunder, except for information regarding insurance premiums and the level of insurance LESSEE has obtained above the requirements of this Lease, so long as such level is not in violation of this Lease.

18.13 Currency. All proceeds of insurance pursuant to this Lease will be pay-able in Dollars except as may be otherwise agreed by LESSOR.

18.14 Grounding of Aircraft. If at any time any of the insurance required pursuant to this Lease will cease to be in full force and effect, LESSEE will forthwith ground the Aircraft and keep the Aircraft grounded until such time as such insurance is in full force and effect again.

18.15 Failure to Insure. If at any time LESSEE fails to maintain insurance in compliance with this Article 18, LESSOR will be entitled but not bound to do any of the following (without prejudice to any other rights which it may have under this Lease by reason of such failure):

(a) to pay any premiums due or to effect or maintain insurance satisfactory to LESSOR or otherwise remedy such failure in such manner as LESSOR considers appropriate (and LESSEE will upon demand reimburse LESSOR in full for any amount so expended in that connection); or

(b) at any time while such failure is continuing, to require the Aircraft to remain at any airport or (as the case may be), proceed to and remain at any airport designated by LESSOR, until such failure is remedied to LESSOR’s satisfaction.

18.16 Reinsurance. Any reinsurance will be maintained with reinsurers and brokers acceptable to LESSOR, acting reasonably. Such reinsurance will contain each of the following terms and will in all other respects (including amount) be satisfactory to LESSOR:

(a) the same terms as the original insurance;

(b) a cut-through and assignment clause satisfactory to LESSOR, acting reasonably; and

ARTICLE 19

LOSS, DAMAGE AND REQUISITION

a value and utility at least equal to the Engine which sustained the Total Loss, (c) not older (by reference to serial number or manufacture date) than the older of the two Engines delivered by LESSOR to LESSEE with the Aircraft on the Delivery Date, and (d) in the same or better operating condition as the Engine which sustained a Total Loss, including time in service, hours and cycles since new and hours and cycles available to the next inspection, Overhaul or scheduled or anticipated removal. Such replacement engine will be an “Engine” as defined in this Lease and the Engine which sustained such Total Loss will cease to be an “Engine”.

19.14.2

LESSEE agrees at its own expense to take such action as LESSOR may reasonably request in order that any such replacement Engine becomes the property of LESSOR and is leased hereunder on the same terms as the destroyed Engine. LESSEE’s obligation to pay Rent will continue in full force and effect, but an amount equal to the Net Total Loss Proceeds received by LESSOR with respect to such destroyed Engine will, subject to LESSOR’s right to deduct therefrom any amounts then due and payable by LESSEE under this Lease, be paid to LESSEE.

19.14.3

Notwithstanding Articles 19.5.1 and 19.5.2, if at the time of a Total Loss of an Engine not installed on the Aircraft or a Total Loss of an Engine installed on the Airframe not involving a Total Loss of the Airframe, LESSOR and LESSEE are parties to a spare engine lease pursuant to which LESSOR is leasing a spare engine to LESSEE of the same model and type as the Engine which has suffered such Total Loss, LESSOR will receive from LESSEE the replacement cost of the Engine instead of accepting a replacement engine. One (1) of such LESSOR spare engines will then be substituted under this Lease for the Engine which suffered such Total Loss and the applicable spare engine lease will terminate.

19.15 Total Loss of APU.

19.15.1

Upon a Total Loss of the APU when not installed on the Airframe or a Total Loss of the APU while installed on the Airframe not involving a Total Loss of the Airframe, LESSEE will replace such APU as soon as reasonably possible by duly conveying or causing to be conveyed to LESSOR title to another auxiliary power unit (a) free and clear of all Security Interests (except Permitted Liens) of any kind or description, (b) in airworthy condition and of the same or improved model, service bulletin and modification status and having a value and utility at least equal to the APU which sustained the Total Loss, (c) not older (by reference to serial number or manufacture date) than the APU delivered by LESSOR to LESSEE with the Aircraft on the Delivery Date and (d) in the same or better operating condition as the APU which sustained the Total Loss, including time in service, hours and cycles since new and hours and cycles available to the next inspection, Overhaul or

ARTICLE 19

LOSS, DAMAGE AND REQUISITION

scheduled or anticipated removal. Such replacement auxiliary power unit will be the “APU” as defined in this Lease and the auxiliary power unit which sustained such Total Loss will cease to be the “APU”.

19.15.2

LESSEE agrees at its own expense to take such action as LESSOR may reasonably request in order that any such replacement APU becomes the property of LESSOR and is leased hereunder on the same terms as the destroyed APU. LESSEE’s obligation to pay Rent will continue in full force and effect, but an amount equal to the Net Total Loss Proceeds received by LESSOR with respect to such destroyed APU will, subject to LESSOR’s right to deduct therefrom any amounts then due and payable by LESSEE under this Lease, be paid to LESSEE.

19.16 Other Loss or Damage.

19.16.1

If the Aircraft or any Part thereof suffers loss or damage not constituting a Total Loss of the Aircraft or the Airframe or any Engine or the APU, all the obligations of LESSEE under this Lease (including payment of Rent) will continue in full force.

19.16.2

In the event of any loss or damage to the Aircraft or Airframe which does not constitute a Total Loss of the Aircraft or the Airframe, or any loss or damage to an Engine or the APU which does not constitute a Total Loss of such Engine or the APU, LESSEE will at its sole cost and expense fully and with reasonable promptness repair the Aircraft, Engine or APU in order that the Aircraft, Engine or APU is placed in an airworthy condition and substantially the same condition as it was prior to such loss or damage. All repairs will be performed in a manner which preserves and maintains all warranties and service life policies to the same extent as they existed prior to such loss or damage. LESSEE will notify LESSOR forthwith of any loss, theft or damage to the Aircraft for which the cost of repairs is estimated to exceed *****, together with LESSEE’s proposal and timetable for carrying out the repair. In the event that LESSOR does not agree with LESSEE’s proposal for repair, LESSOR will so notify LESSEE within two (2) Business Days after its receipt of such proposal. LESSEE and LESSOR will then consult with Manufacturer and LESSEE and LESSOR agree to accept as conclusive, and be bound by, Manufacturer’s directions or recommendations as to the manner in which to carry out such repairs. If Manufacturer declines to give directions or recommendations, LESSEE will carry out the repairs in accordance with the directions of LESSOR. If the Aircraft is airworthy or the Engine or APU serviceable notwithstanding the loss or damage, LESSEE will repair such Aircraft, Engine or APU, as the case may be, within the time frame reasonably established by LESSOR given the circumstances.

Promptly after the occurrence of a partial loss or Total Loss of the Aircraft, an Engine or the APU, LESSEE will provide LESSOR with a copy of LESSEE’s insurance policy, provided, however, that LESSEE may redact from such copy the commercial terms of its arrangement with the insurer.

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

ARTICLE 23

RETURN OF AIRCRAFT

acts reasonably required by LESSOR in connection with the foregoing. If any Aircraft work which LESSEE is not otherwise required to perform hereunder, including engineering, is required in order to obtain such Export Certificate of Airworthiness, LESSEE will perform such work and LESSOR will reimburse LESSEE for such work at LESSEE’s out-of-pocket expenses.

23.13 Delay in Return of Aircraft Due to LESSOR Work Requests. LESSEE will not be required to pay Rent to LESSOR for any whole days that return of the Aircraft to LESSOR is delayed solely as a result of LESSOR’s requests that additional work be performed over and above the work necessary to place the Aircraft in the condition required by this Article 23, and in the event associated costs other than additional Rent are incurred, such as additional insurance, LESSOR shall reimburse reasonable costs associated therewith.

23.14 LESSEE’s Continuing Obligations. In the event that LESSEE does not return the Aircraft to LESSOR on the Expiration Date and in the condition required by this Article 23 for any reason (whether or not the reason is within LESSEE’s control), but subject to Article 23.13:

23.14.1

the obligations of LESSEE under this Lease will continue in full force and effect on a day-to-day basis until such return. This will not be considered a waiver of LESSEE’s Event of Default or any right of LESSOR hereunder.

23.14.2

Until such return, the Agreed Value will be an amount equal to the Agreed Value on the day the Aircraft should have been returned to LESSOR pursuant to this Lease.

23.14.3

Without limiting LESSOR’s rights and remedies under Article 25 and except for a delay in return of the Aircraft for the reason set forth in Article 23.13, until such time as the Aircraft is redelivered to LESSOR and put into the condition required by this Article 23, instead of paying the Rent specified in Article 5.3, LESSEE will pay twice the amount of Rent in effect on the Expiration Date for each day from the scheduled Expiration Date until the Termination Date. In determining the applicable normal Rent per day that will be doubled for purposes of this calculation, the monthly Rent payable under Article 5.3.1 will be prorated based on the actual number of days in the applicable month. Payment will be made upon presentation of LESSOR’s invoice.

23.14.4

LESSOR may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to accept the return of the Aircraft prior to the Aircraft being put in the condition required by this Article 23 and thereafter have any such nonconformance corrected at such time as LESSOR may deem appropriate (but within ninety (90) days following the return of the Aircraft) and at commercial rates then-charged by the Person selected by LESSOR to perform such correction. Any direct expenses incurred by LESSOR for such correction will be payable by LESSEE within fifteen (15) days following the submission of a written statement by LESSOR to LESSEE, identifying the items corrected and setting forth the expense of such corrections. LESSEE’s obligation to pay such amounts will survive the Termination Date.

ARTICLE 23

RETURN OF AIRCRAFT

23.15 Airport and Navigation Charges. LESSEE will ensure that at return of the Aircraft any and all airport, navigation and other charges which give rise or may if unpaid give rise to any lien, right of detention, right of sale or other Security Interest in relation to the Aircraft, Engine, APU or any Part have been paid and discharged in full and will at LESSOR’s request produce evidence thereof satisfactory to LESSOR, except to the extent being contested in good faith provided LESSEE shall have agreed in writing to pay any such charges determined pursuant to such contest to be due and owing to the relevant authorities, and provided that there is no likelihood of the placement of any Security Interest on or seizure of the Aircraft, Engine, APU or any Part.

23.16 Return Acceptance Receipt. Upon return of the Aircraft in accordance with the terms of this Lease, LESSEE will prepare and execute two (2) Return Acceptance Receipts in the form and substance of Exhibit L, and LESSOR will countersign and return one such Return Acceptance Receipt to LESSEE. In addition, LESSEE and LESSOR will execute a Lease Termination for filing with the FAA evidencing termination of this Lease.

23.17 Indemnities and Insurance. The indemnities and insurance requirements set forth in Articles 17 and 18, respectively, will apply to Indemnitees and LESSOR’s representatives during return of the Aircraft, including the ground inspection and acceptance flight. With respect to the acceptance flight, LESSOR’s representatives will receive the same protections as LESSOR on LESSEE’s Aviation and Airline General Third Party Liability Insurance.

ARTICLE 23

RETURN OF AIRCRAFT

23.18 Storage. At LESSOR’s request, LESSEE will continue to lease the Aircraft under this Lease for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days. During this period, LESSEE will have no obligations under this Lease except, at LESSOR’s cost, to park and store the Aircraft in accordance with Manufacturer’s recommended short term storage program at one of LESSEE’s principal maintenance facilities in Mexico and to maintain all insurance on the Aircraft. LESSEE will not utilize the Aircraft for any reason during this period.

ASSIGNMENT

24.7 No Assignment by LESSEE. NO ASSIGNMENT, NOVATION, TRANSFER, MORTGAGE OR OTHER CHARGE MAY BE MADE BY LESSEE OF ANY OF ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRCRAFT, ANY ENGINE OR PART, OR THIS LEASE.

24.8 Sale or Assignment by LESSOR.

24.8.1

Subject to LESSEE’s rights pursuant to this Lease, LESSOR may at any time and without LESSEE’s consent sell, assign or transfer its rights, interest and obligations hereunder or with respect to the Aircraft (a “Transfer”) to a third party (“LESSOR’s Assignee”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Transfer shall: (i) be made to an entity which is not solvent at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such Transfer; (ii) be made to an air carrier or subsidiary of an air carrier that conducts substantial business in Mexico and is in direct competition with LESSEE; (iii) result in any increase in or to or the imposition of additional obligations or liabilities on the part of LESSEE that are not de minimis, (iv) restrict or diminish LESSEE’s rights in and to the Aircraft pursuant to this Lease; (v) be made to a Person having a net worth of less than ***** at the time of such Transfer; (vi) be made unless and until the purchaser, assignee or transferee shall have (a) provided LESSEE with a covenant of quiet use and enjoyment equivalent to that required under this Lease and (b) agreed in writing, in favor of LESSEE that (1) in the case of a Transfer not constituting solely a Transfer by way of security, it shall be bound by and from and after the date of transfer perform all obligations of “LESSOR” under this Lease and (2) in the case of any Transfer, that, to the extent it holds any moneys under the Lease, it shall hold, apply, invest, disburse, reimburse and return such moneys in accordance with the applicable provisions of the LEASE.

24.8.2

The term “LESSOR” as used in this Lease means the lessor of the Aircraft at the time in question. In the event of the sale of the Aircraft and transfer of LESSOR’s rights and obligations under this Lease, LESSOR’s Assignee will become “LESSOR” of the Aircraft under this Lease and the transferring party (the prior “LESSOR”) will be relieved of all liability to LESSEE under this Lease for obligations arising on and after the date the Aircraft is sold. LESSEE will acknowledge and accept LESSOR’s Assignee as the new “LESSOR” under this Lease and will look solely to LESSOR’s Assignee for the performance of all LESSOR obligations and covenants under this Lease arising on and after the Aircraft sale date.

ASSIGNMENT

24.9 LESSOR’s Lender. Subject to LESSEE’s rights pursuant to this Lease, LESSOR may at any time and without LESSEE’s consent grant security interests over the Aircraft and assign the benefit of this Lease to a lender (“LESSOR’s Lender”) as security for LESSOR’s obligations to LESSOR’s Lender. Accordingly, if LESSOR’s Lender requires, as a condition to providing financing, any nonsubstantive modification of this Lease, LESSEE agrees to enter into an agreement so modifying this Lease.

24.10 LESSEE Cooperation. Subject to LESSEE’s rights under this Lease otherwise, on request by LESSOR, LESSOR’s Assignee or LESSOR’s Lender, LESSEE will execute all such documents (such as a lease assignment agreement) as LESSOR, LESSOR’s Assignee or LESSOR’s Lender may reasonably require to acknowledge LESSEE’s obligations under this Lease and obtain LESSEE’s acknowledgment that LESSOR is not in breach of the Lease. LESSEE will provide all other reasonable assistance and cooperation to LESSOR, LESSOR’s Assignee and LESSOR’s Lender in connection with any such sale or assignment or the perfection and maintenance of any such security interest, including, at LESSOR’s sole cost and expense, making all necessary filings and registrations in the State of Registration and providing, at LESSOR’s sole cost and expense, all opinions of counsel with respect to matters reasonably requested by LESSOR, LESSOR’s Lender or LESSOR’s Assignee. LESSOR will pay or reimburse LESSEE for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) in reviewing documents required by LESSOR, LESSOR’s Assignee or LESSOR’s Lender or performing any other obligations under this Article 24.

24.11 Advance Consent Under Cape Town Convention. For the purpose of Article 33(1) of the Convention and Article XV of the Protocol (combined for ease of reference in Article 46(1) of the Consolidated Text), LESSEE hereby consents in advance to the transfer of the associated rights and related international interests in respect of any assignment or sale by LESSOR or the granting of any Security Interest by LESSOR in accordance with Articles 24.2 or 24.3. For the avoidance of doubt, no additional consent by LESSEE will be required in connection with any such assignment of associated rights and the related international interests pursuant to the Cape Town Convention. Any filings made on the International Registry pursuant to the Cape Town Convention in connection herewith, shall be made at LESSOR’s sole cost and expense.

24.12 Protections.

24.12.1

LESSOR will obtain for the benefit of LESSEE an acknowledgment from any LESSOR’s Assignee or LESSOR’s Lender that, so long as no Default or Event of

ARTICLE 24

ASSIGNMENT

Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, neither such Person nor any other Person lawfully claiming by or through such Person will interfere with or otherwise disturb LESSEE’s quiet, peaceful use and enjoyment of the Aircraft.

24.12.2

If a financing for the Aircraft is in place at Delivery or LESSOR finances the Aircraft after Delivery, then the term “LESSOR” in the provisions of this Lease relating to disclaimer, title and registration, indemnity and insurance contained in Articles 8, 14, 17 and 18, respectively, or with respect to Article 20.2.8, will be deemed in addition to LESSOR to include LESSOR’s Assignee, LESSOR’s Lender and associated parties, if applicable. Also, if the Aircraft was previously financed but such financing was no longer in place at the time of Delivery of the Aircraft to LESSEE, the term “LESSOR” in the provisions of this Lease described in this Article 24.6.2 will be deemed to include the former lender and associated parties.

24.12.3

If LESSOR sells the Aircraft after Delivery, subject to conformity of such sale with the provisions of this Article 24, then the disclaimer and indemnity provisions contained in Articles 8 and 17 will continue to be applicable after the sale to International Lease Finance Corporation and, if applicable, the parties referred to in Article 24.6.2. For a period of two (2) years after such sale or assignment and at LESSEE’s cost, LESSEE will continue to name LESSOR and the parties referred to in Article 24.6.2, if applicable, as additional insureds under the Aviation and Airline General Third Party Liability Insurance specified in Exhibit C.

(r) LESSEE is in default under any other lease or agreement between LESSEE and LESSOR or a direct or indirect subsidiary of LESSOR and the same is not cured within its specified cure period; or

ARTICLE 25

DEFAULT OF LESSEE

(f) instruct any maintenance or repair facility which is in possession of the Aircraft, any Engine, the APU or any Part as to its disposition or release;

25.14 Cape Town Convention Remedies. If the Cape Town Convention has been or is ratified or made applicable in the United States or Mexico, then LESSEE and LESSOR acknowledge and agree that:

(a) each of the Events of Default set forth in Article 25.2 will be deemed to be an event that constitutes a “default” as such term is used in the Cape Town Convention; and

(b) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (i) LESSOR will be afforded all speedy and other relief, rights and (without duplication of recovery) remedies specified in the Cape Town Convention as a result of such Event of Default, (ii) all of the rights of LESSOR specified in Article 25.3 will be construed to be “additional remedies” as permitted by the Cape Town Convention which may be exercised by

ARTICLE 25

DEFAULT OF LESSEE

LESSOR pursuant to this Lease subject to the requirements of applicable Law and (iii) LESSOR may, without notice to LESSEE, take all steps as are contemplated by the Cape Town Convention to deregister the Aircraft, export the Aircraft from the State of Registration and, if applicable, discharge the international interest in respect of the Aircraft, this Lease and the other Operative Documents from the International Registry.

(a) any losses suffered by LESSOR as a result of a delay in Delivery of the Aircraft to LESSEE, including payments to Manufacturer such as additional purchase price escalation and Aircraft parking, maintenance costs and insurance costs during the period of delay;

(b) without duplication, all amounts which are then due and unpaid hereunder and which become due prior to the earlier of LESSOR’s recovery of possession of the Aircraft or LESSEE making an effective tender thereof;

(c) without duplication, any losses suffered by LESSOR because of LESSOR’s inability to place the Aircraft on lease with another lessee or to otherwise utilize the Aircraft on financial terms as favorable to LESSOR as the terms hereof for the Lease Term or, if LESSOR elects to dispose of the Aircraft, the funds arising from a sale or other disposition of the Aircraft are not as profitable to LESSOR as leasing the Aircraft in accordance with the terms hereof would have been (and LESSOR will be entitled to accelerate any and all Rent which would have been due from the date of LESSOR’s recovery or repossession of the Aircraft through the Expiration Date);

(d) without duplication, all costs associated with LESSOR’s exercise of its remedies hereunder, including repossession costs, legal fees, Aircraft storage costs, Aircraft release or sale costs and LESSOR’s internal costs and expenses (including the cost of personnel time calculated based upon the compensation paid to the individuals involved on an annual basis and a general LESSOR overhead allocation);

(e) without duplication, any amount of principal, interest, fees or other sums paid or payable on account of funds borrowed in order to carry any unpaid amount resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default;

(f) without duplication, any loss, premium, penalty or expense which may be incurred in repaying funds raised to finance the Aircraft or in unwinding any financial instrument relating in whole or in part to LESSOR’s financing of the Aircraft;

100

ARTICLE 25

DEFAULT OF LESSEE

(g) without duplication, any loss, cost, expense or liability sustained by LESSOR due to LESSEE’s failure to redeliver the Aircraft in the condition required by this Lease; and

(h) without duplication, any other loss, damage, expense, cost or liability which LESSOR suffers or incurs as a result of the Event of Default and/or termination of this Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, LESSOR shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate any such losses.

25.16 Waiver of Default. By written notice to LESSEE, LESSOR may at its election waive any Default or Event of Default and its consequences and rescind and annul any prior notice of termination of this Lease. The respective rights of the parties will then be as they would have been had no Default or Event of Default occurred and no such notice been given.

25.17 Present Value of Payments. In calculating LESSOR’s damages hereunder, upon an Event of Default all Rent and other amounts which would have been due hereunder during the Lease Term if an Event of Default had not occurred will be calculated on a present value basis using a discounting rate of ***** per annum discounted to the earlier of the date on which LESSOR obtains possession of the Aircraft or LESSEE makes an effective tender thereof.

25.18 Use of “Termination Date”. For avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that if this Lease terminates and the Aircraft is repossessed by LESSOR due to an Event of Default, then, notwithstanding the use of the term “Termination Date” in this Lease, the period of the Lease Term and the “Expiration Date” will be utilized in calculating the damages to which LESSOR is entitled pursuant to Article 25.6. For example, it is agreed and understood that LESSOR is entitled to receive from LESSEE the Rent and the benefit of LESSEE’s insurance and maintenance of the Aircraft until expiration of the Lease Term.

LESSEE hereby irrevocably appoints LESSOR as its attorney for the purpose of putting into effect the intent of this Lease following an Event of Default, including without limitation, the return, repossession, deregistration and exportation of the Aircraft. To evidence this appointment, LESSEE has executed the Power of Attorney in substantially the form of Exhibit H. LESSEE will take all steps required under the Laws of the State of Registration to provide such power of attorney to LESSOR.

29.24 LESSOR Performance for LESSEE. The exercise by LESSOR of its remedy of performing a LESSEE obligation hereunder is not a waiver of and will not relieve LESSEE from the performance of such obligation at any subsequent time or from the performance of any of its other obligations hereunder.

29.25 LESSOR’s Payment Obligations. Any obligation of LESSOR under this Lease to pay or release any amount to LESSEE is conditioned upon (a) all amounts then due and payable by LESSEE to LESSOR under this Lease or under any other agreement between LESSEE and LESSOR or a direct or indirect subsidiary of LESSOR having been paid in full, (b) all amounts then due and payable by LESSEE under any aircraft or aircraft equipment lease agreement which is managed by LESSOR on behalf of another Person having been paid in full and (c) no Default or Event of Default having occurred and continuing hereunder at the time such payment or release of payment is payable to LESSEE.

29.28 Delegation by LESSOR. Without contravening any terms and provisions hereof, LESSOR may delegate to any Person(s) all or any of the rights, powers or discretion vested in it by this Lease and any such delegation may be made upon such terms and conditions as LESSOR in its absolute discretion thinks fit.

29.29 Confidentiality. The Operative Documents and all nonpublic information obtained by either party about the other are confidential and are between LESSOR and LESSEE only and will not be disclosed by a party to third parties (other than to such party’s auditors or legal advisors; as required in connection with any filings of this Lease in accordance with Article 14; in connection with LESSOR’s potential sale of the Aircraft or assignment of this Lease; as required for enforcement by either party of its rights and remedies with respect to this Lease or as required by applicable Law) without the prior written consent of the other party. If any disclosure will result in an Operative Document becoming publicly available, LESSEE and LESSOR will cooperate with one another to obtain confidential treatment as to the commercial terms and other material provisions of such Operative Document.

29.30 Rights of Parties. The rights of the parties hereunder are cumulative, not exclusive, may be exercised as often as each party considers appropriate and are in addition to its rights under general Law. The rights of one party against the other party are not capable of being waived or amended except by an express waiver or amendment in writing. Any failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any of such rights will not operate as a waiver or amendment of that or any other such right. Any defective or partial exercise of any such rights will not preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other such right and no act or course of conduct or negotiation on a party’s part or on its behalf will in any way preclude such party from exercising any such right or constitute a suspension or any amendment of any such right.

29.31 Further Assurances. Each party agrees from time to time to do and perform such other and further acts and execute and deliver any and all such other instruments as may be required by Law, reasonably requested by the auditors of the other party or requested by the other party to establish, maintain or protect the rights and remedies of the requesting party or to carry out and effect the intent and purpose of this Lease.

PERIOD OF COVERAGE (ALL POLICIES)

From the Delivery Date of Aircraft to [EXPIRATION DATE]

It is further certified that LESSOR has an interest in respect of the Aircraft under the Lease. Accordingly, with respect to losses occurring during the period from the Effective Date until the expiry of the Insurance or (except as provided in the next sentence) until the expiry or agreed termination of the Lease or until the obligations under the Lease are terminated by any action of the Insured or LESSOR and in consideration of the Additional Premium it is confirmed that the Insurance afforded by the Policy is in full force and effect and it is further agreed that the provisions set forth below are specifically endorsed to the Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if LESSEE has retained care, custody and control of the Aircraft even after such expiry or agreed termination of the Lease and LESSOR has not expressly agreed to insure the Aircraft, the Policy will remain in full force and effect until the earlier of expiry of the Insurance or the return of the Aircraft to LESSOR.

1. UNDER THE HULL (ALL RISKS AND HULL WAR AND ALLIED RISKS) AND AIRCRAFT SPARES INSURANCES

(a) [International Lease Finance Corporation ONLY-NO OTHER CONTRACT PARTIES] In respect of any claim on the Aircraft that becomes payable on the basis of a Total Loss, settlement will be made to, or to the order of LESSOR as sole loss payee, up to the Agreed Value. With respect to repairable damage to an Aircraft or Engine, LESSOR will receive all insurance proceeds in excess of ***** provided that upon receipt by the insurance broker of written notice of a material default on the part of LESSEE, all insurance proceeds which otherwise would be payable to LESSEE will be made directly to LESSOR.

Such payments will only be made provided they are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

(b) Insurers agree on a 50/50 settlement in terms of AVS 103.

(d) Insurers recognize that LESSEE and LESSOR have agreed that a Total Loss of the Airframe will constitute a Total Loss of the Aircraft.

(e) In the event of a Total Loss of the Aircraft, Insurers agree to pay LESSOR all amounts up to the Agreed Value based solely upon LESSOR’s (not LESSEE’s) execution of the appropriate form of release/discharge document. LESSOR may sign any required release in lieu of the Insured in the event of a Total Loss, Constructive Total Loss or Arranged Total Loss.

***** Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


		135

(f) “Cut-through clause”: Insurers confirm that in the event of any claim arising under the hull insurances, the Reinsurers will in lieu of payment of the Insurers, its successors in interest and assigns, pay to the person named as sole loss payee under the original insurances that portion of any loss due for which the Reinsurers would otherwise be liable to pay the Insurers (subject to proof of loss), it being understood and agreed that any such payment by any Reinsurers will fully discharge and release such Reinsurer from any and all further liability in connection therewith and provide for payment to be made notwithstanding (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or dissolution of the Insurers and (ii) that the Insurers have made no payment under the original insurance policies.

(g) Insurers confirm that under the insurance policies, if the Insured installs an engine owned by a third party on the Aircraft, either (i) the hull insurance will automatically increase to such higher amount as is necessary in order to satisfy both LESSOR’s requirement to receive the Agreed Value in the event of a Total Loss, Constructive Total Loss or Arranged Total Loss and the amount required by the third party engine owner, or (ii) separate additional insurance on such engine will attach in order to satisfy separately the requirements of the Insured to such third party engine owner.

2. UNDER THE LEGAL LIABILITY INSURANCE

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Endorsement, the Insurance will operate in all respects as if a separate Policy had been issued covering each party insured hereunder, but this provision will not operate to include any claim arising howsoever in respect of loss or damage to the Aircraft insured under the Hull or Spares Insurance of the Insured. Notwithstanding the foregoing the total liability of Insurers in respect of any and all Insureds will not exceed the limits of liability stated in the Policy.

(b) The Insurance provided hereunder will be primary and without right of contribution from any other insurance which may be available to LESSOR or its successors and assigns.

(c) LESSOR and its successors, assigns, directors, officers and employees will be covered under LESSEE’s legal liability insurance for death or injury to LESSEE’s employees.

3. UNDER ALL INSURANCES

(a) LESSOR, its successors and assigns, and (with respect to Aviation and Airline General Third Party Liability only) its directors, officers and employees for their respective rights and interests, are included as Additional Insureds.

136

(b) The cover afforded to LESSOR by the Policy in accordance with this Endorsement will not be invalidated by any act or omission (including misrepresentation and nondisclosure) of any other person or party which results in a breach of any term, condition or warranty of the Policy.

(c) LESSOR will have no responsibility for premium and insurers will waive any right of set-off or counterclaim against LESSOR except in respect of outstanding premium in respect of the Aircraft, provided that Insurer may only set-off for premiums against the proceeds of the hull insurance for outstanding premiums in connection with hull all risks and hull war and allied perils insurance.

(d) Upon payment of any loss or claim to or on behalf of LESSOR, Insurers will to the extent and in respect of such payment be thereupon subrogated to all legal and equitable rights of LESSOR indemnified hereby (but not against LESSOR). Insurers will not exercise such rights without the consent of those indemnified, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. At the expense of Insurers LESSOR will do all things reasonably necessary to assist the Insurers to exercise said rights.

(e) Except in respect of any provision for Cancellation or Automatic Termination specified in the Policy or any endorsement thereof, cover provided by this Endorsement may only be cancelled or materially altered in a manner adverse to LESSOR by the giving of not less than thirty (30) days notice in writing to LESSOR. Notice will be deemed to commence from the date such notice is given by the Insurers. Such notice will NOT, however, be given at normal expiry date of the Policy or any endorsement.

4. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY VARIED OR PROVIDED BY THE TERMS OF THIS CERTIFICATE

(a) LESSOR IS COVERED BY THE POLICY SUBJECT TO ALL TERMS, CONDITIONS, LIMITATIONS, WARRANTIES, EXCLUSIONS AND CANCELLATION PROVISIONS THEREOF.

(b) THE POLICY WILL NOT BE VARIED BY ANY PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE LEASE WHICH PURPORT TO SERVE AS AN ENDORSEMENT OR AMENDMENT TO THE POLICY.

Based upon the foregoing and having regard for legal considerations which 1 deem relevant, I am of the opinion that:

1. LESSEE is a company validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of Mexico. It has the power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted and to perform its obligations under the Lease Documents.

2. No authorization, approval, consent, license or order of, or registration with, or the giving of notice to the Aviation Authority or any other regulatory body or authority is required for the valid authorization, execution, delivery and performance by LESSEE of the Lease Documents.

3. The Lease Documents have each been duly authorized, executed and delivered by LESSEE. Each such instrument is a valid and binding obligation of LESSEE, enforceable in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights.

4. The execution and delivery of the Lease Documents, the consummation by LESSEE of the transactions contemplated therein and compliance by LESSEE with the terms and provisions thereof do not and will not contravene any Law applicable to LESSEE, or result in any breach of or constitute any default under or result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property of LESSEE, under any indenture, mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of trust, conditional sales contract, bank loan or credit agreement, charter, by-law or other agreement or instrument to which LESSEE is a party or by which LESSEE or its properties or assets may be bound or affected.

5. [Describe the process in the U.S. with respect to registration of the Aircraft in the name of LESSOR and any other steps required or recommended in the U.S. in order to protect the interests of LESSOR in the Aircraft]. Such registration of the Aircraft is not inconsistent with, and would not result in the loss of, LESSOR’s title to and ownership of the Aircraft. Except for the foregoing, no other filing or recording of any instrument or document or any other acts are necessary or advisable under the Laws of the U.S. to protect LESSOR’s title to and ownership of the Aircraft. [In the opinion given at Delivery, also confirm that the Aircraft is registered in the name of LESSOR.]

6. Except for any filing or recording that may be required with the [NAME OF AIRCRAFT REGISTER] and except for [DESCRIBE SUCH OTHER FILINGS OR RECORDINGS, INCLUDING WITH THE INTERNATIONAL REGISTRY], no filing or recording of any instrument or document (including the filing of any financial statement) is necessary under the Laws of Mexico in order for the Lease to constitute a valid and perfected

145

lease of record relating to the Aircraft, it being understood that such counsel expresses no opinion as to the nature of LESSOR’s title to the Aircraft on the Delivery Date. [In opinion given at Delivery, also confirm that the filings and other steps described have been accomplished.]

7. Except for [DESCRIBE ANY TRANSLATION, NOTARIZATION OR OTHER REQUIREMENTS], none of the Lease Documents needs to be translated, notarized, legalized, apostilled or consularized as a condition to the legality, validity, filing, enforceability or admissibility in evidence thereof Each of the Lease Documents is in a proper form under the Laws of Mexico for enforcement or admission thereof into evidence in Mexico, without any further action on the part of any party other than the commencement of court proceedings in Mexico.

8. LESSEE will not be required to obtain any- licenses for importation and ferrying of the Aircraft into Mexico. LESSEE has complied with all import and customs formalities in Mexico with respect to the Aircraft.

9. LESSEE holds all licenses, certificates and permits from applicable governmental authorities in Mexico necessary for the conduct of its business as a certificated air carrier and performance of its obligations under the Lease Documents.

10. To my knowledge, there are no suits or proceedings pending or threatened against LESSEE before any Government Entity against or affecting LESSEE which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or business of LESSEE or its ability to perform under the Lease Documents, except as described in the filings provided to LESSOR pursuant to Article 20 of the Lease.

11. Under the Laws of Mexico, LESSEE will not be required to make or deduct any withholding or other Tax from any payment it may make under the Lease Documents.

12. The obligations of LESSEE under the Lease Documents are direct, general and unconditional obligations of LESSEE and rank or will rank at least pari passu with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations (including contingent obligations) of LESSEE, with the exception of such obligations as are mandatorily preferred by law.

13. LESSEE, under the Laws of Mexico or of any other jurisdiction affecting LESSEE, is subject to private commercial law and suit. Neither LESSEE nor its properties or assets have the right of immunity from suit or execution on the grounds of sovereignty in such jurisdictions and the performance by LESSEE of its obligations under the Lease Documents constitute commercial acts done for commercial purposes.

14. On termination of the Lease, LESSOR would be entitled to repossess the Aircraft and, without additional fees or duties, export it from Mexico.

146

15. Neither LESSEE nor LESSOR is required by the Laws of Mexico to obtain any approval, license or consent (including without limitation any exchange control approval) in order to remit to LESSOR of any amount payable under the Lease Documents.

16. There is no applicable usury or interest limitation Law in Mexico which may restrict the recovery of payments in accordance with the Lease Documents.

17. LESSOR will not violate any Law or become liable to any tax in Mexico by reason of entering into or performing its obligations under the Lease Documents and it is not necessary to establish a place of business in Mexico in order to enforce any provisions of the Lease Documents.

18. The choice of California Law to govern the Lease Documents will be upheld in any action in the courts of Mexico. Any judgment given by the United States or California courts would be recognized and accepted by the courts in Mexico.

19. [DESCRIBE STATUS OF CAPE TOWN CONVENTION IN COUNTRY], for example:

Mexico has ratified the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment and the Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters specific to Aircraft Equipment which were adopted on November 16, 2001 at a diplomatic conference held in Cape Town, South Africa (commonly known as the “Cape Town Convention”) [without any reservations or declarations in respect thereto OR with the following reservations and declarations in respect thereto] and the Lease and the other Operative Documents and the rights created thereby are valid, legal and binding thereunder and conform to the terms and conditions thereof.

Mexico [is not] [is] a signatory of, [and] [but] has not yet ratified, the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment and the Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters specific to Aircraft Equipment.
