Section 2.07                                Transfer and Exchange; Cancellation.  (a)  Certain Transfers and Exchanges.  Transfer of any Global Note shall be by delivery.  The Issuer agrees with the Depositary that a Global Note and the corresponding Beneficial Interests therein shall only be transferred in the circumstances described in this Indenture.  All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuer for Notes in definitive registered form substantially as set forth in Exhibit A-1 or A-2 (as applicable) to this Indenture (each, a “Definitive Note”) if (i) the Depositary notifies the Issuer or the Trustee in writing that it is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as depositary with respect to the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Depositary at the request of the Issuer within 90 days of such notice or (ii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes the owners of Beneficial Interests representing an aggregate of not less than 51% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes advise the Issuer, the Trustee and the Depositary through the Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through DTC (or a successor thereto) is no longer in the best interests of such owners.  Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Global Notes, accompanied by registration instructions from the Holder of such Global Note as provided in this Indenture, the Issuer shall issue and, upon written instructions of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Definitive Notes to the owners of Beneficial Interests therein.

 

None of the Issuer, the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such registration instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such registration instructions as provided in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.  Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Trustee shall recognize the Persons in whose name the Definitive Notes are registered in the Register as Holders hereunder.  Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable if the Trustee or the Issuer is unable to appoint a successor to DTC.

 

The transfer and exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes shall be effected through DTC, in accordance with this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures of DTC therefor.  The transfer and exchange of Beneficial Interests shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth in Section 2.12 and elsewhere herein.  The Trustee shall have no obligation to ascertain DTC’s compliance with any such restrictions on transfer or exchange.

 

Any Beneficial Interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a Person who will hold such Beneficial Interest in the form of an interest in another Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such first Global Note and become an interest in such other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to Beneficial Interests in such other Global Note for as long as it holds such an interest therein.

 

Global Notes may also be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 2.08.  Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof pursuant to Section 2.08 shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note in registered form.  A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in Sections 2.07(a) and 2.08.

 

(b)         Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes.  A Holder may transfer a Definitive Note only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture.  No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register.

 

43


 


 

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of a Definitive Note, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the applicable registered Holder as the absolute owner and Holder of such Definitive Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Definitive Note and for all other purposes and shall not be affected by any Written Notice to the contrary.  The Registrar (if different from the Trustee) shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of each request for a registration of transfer of a Definitive Note.

 

When Definitive Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to register their transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Definitive Notes are accompanied by a completed Transfer Notice in the form attached to such Definitive Notes duly executed by the Holder thereof (or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Holder) and by an agreement in the form of Exhibit I hereto duly executed by the transferee of such Definitive Notes).  To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon the written order of the Issuer, authenticate Definitive Notes.  Except as set forth in Sections 2.08 and 2.09, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of any Definitive Notes.

 

The Registrar shall not be required to exchange or register the transfer of any Definitive Notes as above provided during the 15-day period preceding the Final Maturity Date of any such Notes or during the period after the first mailing of any notice of Redemption of Notes to be redeemed.  The Registrar shall not be required to exchange or register the transfer of any Definitive Notes that have been selected, called or are being called for Redemption except, in the case of any Definitive Notes where notice has been given that such Definitive Notes are to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed.

 

(c)           Cancellation.  The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.  Each Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or purchase.  The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and destroy in accordance with its customary practices in effect from time to time any such Notes, together with any other Notes surrendered to it for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Issuer may not issue new Notes (other than Refinancing Notes issued in connection with any Refinancing) to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

 

Section 2.08           Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.  If any Definitive Note or Global Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer shall, upon the written request of the Holder thereof and presentation of such Note or satisfactory evidence of destruction, loss or theft thereof to the Trustee or Registrar, issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate and the Trustee or Registrar shall deliver in exchange therefor or in replacement thereof, a new Definitive Note or Global Note, payable to such Holder in the same principal amount, of the same maturity, with the same payment schedule, bearing the same interest rate and dated the date of its authentication.  If the Definitive Note or Global Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Note shall be surrendered to the Trustee or the Registrar and forwarded to the Issuer by the Trustee or the Registrar.  If the Definitive Note or Global Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the Holder thereof shall furnish to the Issuer, the Trustee or the Registrar (a) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar harmless and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar of the destruction, loss or theft of such Definitive Note or Global Note and of the ownership thereof, provided that the requirements of this sentence with respect to any Holder that is a QIB shall be satisfied by delivery of an indemnity of such Holder in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee  and an affidavit of such Holder as to the destruction, loss or theft.

 

44



 

The Holder(s) will be required to pay any Tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection with such exchange or replacement and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Registrar) connected therewith.

 

Section 2.09           Payments of Transfer Taxes.  Upon the transfer of any Note or Notes pursuant to Section 2.07, the Issuer or the Trustee may require from the party requesting such new Note or Notes payment of a sum to reimburse the Issuer or the Trustee for, or to provide funds for the payment of, any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Section 2.10           Refinancing.  (a)  Subject to Section 2.01(a), the next succeeding two sentences, paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) below and Section 5.02(c)(ii), the Issuer may issue Refinancing Notes pursuant to this Indenture for the purpose of refinancing the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Initial Notes and any Refinancing Notes.  Each refinancing of the Initial Notes or Refinancing Notes with the proceeds of an offering of Refinancing Notes (a “Refinancing”) shall be authorized pursuant to one or more Trustee Resolutions.  Each Refinancing Note shall constitute a “Note” for all purposes under this Indenture, and shall have the class or subclass designation and such further designations added or incorporated in such title as specified in the related Trustee Resolutions, in any indenture supplemental hereto providing for the issuance of such Notes or specified in the form of such Notes, as the case may be.

 

(b)           A Refinancing of the Initial Notes or any Refinancing Notes in whole may occur on any Payment Date after the Initial Closing Date and shall be effected as an Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 3.11(a).  No partial Refinancing of the Initial Notes or any Refinancing Notes shall be permitted.  On the date of any Refinancing, the Issuer shall issue and sell an aggregate principal amount of Refinancing Notes in an amount at least equal to the Redemption Price of the Notes being refinanced thereby and any accrued and unpaid interest plus the Refinancing Expenses relating thereto and any amount to be deposited in any Cash Collateral Account for such Refinancing Notes.  The proceeds of each sale of Refinancing Notes shall be used to make the deposit required by Section 3.11(d), to pay such Refinancing Expenses, to fund such Cash Collateral Account and for such other purposes as may be specified in the Trustee Resolution.

(f)            The Trustee shall be at liberty to sanction some other method of giving notice to the Holders if, in its opinion, such other method is reasonable, having regard to the number and identity of the Holders and/or to market practice then prevailing, is in the best interests of the Holders and will comply with the rules of any stock exchange on which any Notes are listed as confirmed by the listing agent for such stock exchange or such other stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes are then listed, and any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on such date as the Trustee may approve; provided that notice of such method is given to the Holders in such manner as the Trustee shall require.

(i)            the Permitted Account Investments shall have maturities and other terms such that sufficient funds shall be available to make required payments pursuant to this Indenture (A) before the next Payment Date after which such investment is made, in the case of investments of funds on deposit in the Collections Account and the Expense Account, or (B) in accordance with a Written Notice provided by the Administrative Agent (after consultation with the Servicer), the requirements of the relevant Leases or Engine Agreements, in the case of investments of funds on deposit in the Lessee Funded Accounts; provided that an investment maturing within one year of the date of investment shall nevertheless be a Permitted Account Investment if it has been acquired with funds which are not reasonably anticipated, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, to be required to be paid to any other Person or otherwise transferred from the applicable Account prior to such maturity;

 

(ii)           if any funds to be invested are not received in the Accounts by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, such funds shall, if possible, be invested in overnight Permitted Account Investments described in clause (d) of the definition thereof; provided that none of the Administrative Agent, the Trustee, the Security Trustee, the Operating Bank or the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider shall be liable for any losses incurred in respect of the failure to invest funds not thereby received; and

 

56



 

(iii)          if required by the terms of a Lease, any investments of Segregated Funds on deposit in a Lessee Funded Account or funds on deposit in the Security Deposit Account shall be made on behalf of the relevant Lessee in such investments as may be required thereunder.

(c)           Except as expressly provided hereunder, neither the Trustee nor the Operating Bank shall have any obligation to invest and reinvest any cash held in the Accounts in the absence of timely and specific written investment direction from the Administrative Agent or the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider, as the case may be.  In no event shall the Trustee or the Operating Bank be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Trustee nor the Operating Bank shall have any liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Issuer or the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider, as the case may be, to provide timely written investment direction.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Trustee nor the Operating Bank guarantees the performance of any Permitted Account Investment. If the Permitted Account Investment in which the Administrative Agent or the Initial Liquidity facility Provider has directed the Trustee or the Operating Bank to invest any funds in any Account ceases to be a Permitted Account Investment pursuant to the definition thereof, the Administrative Agent or the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider, as the case may be, shall provide the Trustee and/or the Operating Bank with new specific written investment directions.  Neither the Trustee nor the Operating Bank shall have any duty or obligation to monitor whether an investment meets the requirements of a Permitted Account Investment nor shall it have any liability with respect to any investment which ceases to be a Permitted Account Investment.

Any Balance in the Engine Purchase Account remaining on the Delivery Expiry Date will be applied as an Optional Redemption (the “Acquisition Balance Redemption”) in part of the Notes on the next succeeding Payment Date.

 

(b)           Redemption for Taxation Reasons.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.11(c), if, at any time,

 

(i)            the Issuer is, or on the next succeeding Payment Date will be, required to make any withholding or deduction under the laws or regulations of any applicable Tax authority with respect to any payment on the Notes; or

 

(ii)           the Issuer is or will be subject to any circumstance (whether by reason of any law, regulation, regulatory requirement or double-taxation convention, or the interpretation or application thereof, or otherwise) that has resulted or will result in the imposition of a Tax (whether by direct assessment or by withholding at source) or other similar imposition by any jurisdiction that would (A) materially increase the cost to the Issuer of making payments in respect of the Notes or of complying with its obligations under or in connection with the Notes; or (B) otherwise obligate the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries to make any material payment on, or calculated by reference to, the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Issuer, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuer Group as contemplated by the Administrative Agency Agreement;

67



 

If, after using commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the adverse effects described above, any Issuer Group Member has not avoided such effects, the Issuer may, at its election, redeem the Notes on any Payment Date, in whole, at the Outstanding Principal Balance thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest (after giving effect to any payment thereof on such Redemption Date under Section 3.09) thereon, but without premium, after paying the Required Expense Amount and all unpaid Credit Facility Obligations as of such Payment Date (any such redemption, a “Tax Redemption”); provided, however, that any such Redemptions may not occur more than 30 days prior to such time as the requirement or imposition described in (i) or (ii) above is to become effective and the Trustee shall have received a certification from the Issuer certifying that the applicable Issuer Group Member has been unable, after using commercially reasonable efforts, to avoid the adverse effects described above; provided further that Written Notice of any such Redemption shall be given by the Issuer (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf) to the Trustee and, for so long as any Notes are listed on any stock exchange and traded on such stock exchange, to the applicable listing agent and such stock exchange within such time period prior to the Redemption Date for such Redemption as is required to comply with the rules of such stock exchange as confirmed by the listing agent for such stock exchange or such stock exchange.

 

(c)           Method of Redemption.  Upon receipt of notice from the Issuer or the Administrative Agent of any Redemption under Section 3.11(a) or 3.11(b), the Trustee shall give Written Notice in respect of any such Redemption of the Notes (other than the Acquisition Balance Redemption) under Section 3.11(a) or 3.11(b) to the Holders and to the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider, at least seven (7) days before the Redemption Date for such Redemption.  The Depositary shall forward such Notice of Redemption to its Participants or the beneficial owners of the Global Notes with any additional instructions applicable to owners of Beneficial Interests in accordance with its Applicable Procedures.  If a Redemption is in part and not in whole, the amount of such Redemption will be applied pro rata according to the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes, to the extent moneys are available.  Except in the case of a Refinancing, the Trustee shall not deliver any notice under this Section 3.11(c) unless and until the Trustee shall have received certification that all conditions precedent to such Redemption have been satisfied and evidence satisfactory to it that the amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.11(d) are, or will on or before the Redemption Date be, deposited in the Defeasance/Redemption Account.  Each notice in respect of a Redemption given pursuant to this Section 3.11(c) shall state (i) the applicable Redemption Date, (ii) the Trustee’s arrangements for making payments in respect of such Redemption, (iii) the Redemption Price of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes to be redeemed, (iv) in the case of a Redemption of the Notes in whole, the Notes to be redeemed in whole must be surrendered to the Trustee to collect the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes and (v) in the case of a Redemption of the Notes in whole, that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, interest on the Notes called for Redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption.

68



 

On or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifth day preceding any Redemption Date in respect of a Redemption under Section 3.11(b), the Issuer shall, to the extent an amount equal to the Outstanding Principal Balance of Initial Notes to be redeemed and all accrued and unpaid interest (after giving effect to any payment thereof on such Redemption Date under Section 3.09) thereon and all unpaid Credit Facility Obligations (only in respect of any amounts drawn from the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account or Facility Drawings, as the case may be, in respect of Liquidity Facility Interest Shortfalls) as of the Redemption Date is not then held on deposit therein, deposit or cause to be deposited in the Defeasance/Redemption Account other than any funds constituting part of Available Collections, an amount in immediately available funds equal to such amount.

(c)           Downgrade Drawings.  (i)  The Initial Liquidity Facility Provider will promptly, but in any event within ten (10) days of the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider no longer having the minimum long-term issuer rating specified for a Rating Agency in the definition “Threshold Rating”, deliver notice to the Trustee and the Administrative Agent of such downgrade and the Downgrade Date.  A Downgrade Event shall have occurred if the credit rating of the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider by a Rating Agency falls below the applicable Threshold Rating by such Rating Agency unless a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained within 14 Business Days of the Downgrade Date that the downgrading by such Rating Agency will not result in the downgrading, withdrawal or suspension of its rating of the Class 2012-A Notes.  If the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider does not provide the Trustee and the Administrative Agent with such Rating Agency Confirmation described in the definition “Threshold Rating” or provides notice in writing that it will not deliver such Rating Agency Confirmation, such Initial Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility.  A Downgrade Drawing shall be requested by the Administrative Agent under a Downgraded Facility as provided in Section 3.14(c)(iii), unless a Replacement Liquidity Facility has been arranged in accordance with in Section 3.14(c)(ii).

 

(ii)           If at any time the Initial Liquidity Facility becomes a Downgraded Facility, the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuer may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Trustee and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.14(e)(ii) within 30 days after the Downgrade Date (but not later than the expiration date of the Initial Liquidity Facility).

 

(iii)          Upon the occurrence of a Downgrade Event with respect to the Initial Liquidity Facility, unless a Replacement Liquidity Facility is arranged as provided in Section 3.14(c)(ii), the Administrative Agent shall, within 14 days after the Downgrade Date (or if such 14th day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) or, if earlier, the expiration date of the Initial Liquidity Facility), request a drawing in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the Initial Liquidity Facility (such drawing, a “Downgrade Drawing”) of the Available Amount thereunder.  Amounts drawn pursuant to a Downgrade Drawing shall be deposited into the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account and maintained and invested as provided in Section 3.14(f) hereof.

 

(iv)          If after a Downgrade Drawing has been provided by the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider and subsequently the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider is upgraded by the applicable Rating Agency to the applicable Threshold Rating, following written notice from the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider to the Administrative Agent of such upgrade, any amounts of such Downgrade Drawing remaining in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account shall be reimbursed to the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider in accordance with Section 3.01(j).

 

(d)           Non-Extension Drawings.  If the Initial Liquidity Facility is to expire on a date (the “Stated Expiration Date”) prior to the date that is 15 days after the Final Maturity Date with respect to the Initial Notes, then, no earlier than the 75th day and no later than the 30th day prior to the applicable Stated Expiration Date then in effect, the Administrative Agent shall request that the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider extend the Stated Expiration Date until the earlier of (i) the date which is 15 days after the Final Maturity Date with respect to the Initial Notes and (ii) the date that is the 364th day following the Stated Expiration Date then in effect (unless the obligations of the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider are earlier terminated in accordance with the Initial Liquidity Facility).

If on or before the date which is 10 days prior to the Stated Expiration Date, (A) the Initial Liquidity Facility shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.14(e) and (B) the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider fails irrevocably and unconditionally to advise the Administrative Agent that such Stated Expiration Date then in effect shall be so extended (whether or not the Administrative Agent has in fact requested an extension), the Administrative Agent shall immediately, in accordance with the terms of the Initial Liquidity Facility, request a drawing (such drawing, a “Non-Extension Drawing”) for the Available Amount.  Amounts drawn pursuant to a Non-Extension Drawing shall be deposited into the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account to the extent of the Available Amount.

 

(e)           Issuance of Replacement Liquidity Facility.  (i)  If the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider shall not extend the Stated Expiration Date in accordance with Section 3.14(d), then either the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider or the Issuer may, at their respective options, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the Initial Liquidity Facility during the period no earlier than 45 days and no later than 10 days prior to the then effective Stated Expiration Date.

 

(ii)           If a Downgrade Event shall have occurred with respect to the Initial Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.14(c), then either the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider or the Issuer may, at their respective options, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the Initial Liquidity Facility within 30 days after receiving notice of such Downgrade Event (but not later than the expiration date of the Initial Liquidity Facility); provided, however, that the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility at any time following a Downgrade Drawing so long as the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuer has not already arranged for a Replacement Liquidity Facility.

 

(iii)          At any time after the Initial Closing Date, the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the Initial Liquidity Facility.

 

(A)          No Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider or the Issuer in accordance with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)(A) above shall become effective and no such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed an “Eligible Credit Facility” under this Indenture, unless and until (x) each of the conditions referred to in subclause (C) below shall have been satisfied, and (y) in the case of a Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider, such Replacement Liquidity Facility is acceptable to the Issuer.

 

(B)           In connection with the issuance of each Replacement Liquidity Facility, (x) the Administrative Agent shall, prior to the issuance of such Replacement Liquidity Facility, have received a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the Initial Notes (without regard to any downgrading of any rating of the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider being replaced pursuant to this Section 3.14(e)), (y) all Credit Facility Obligations then owing to the replaced Initial Liquidity Facility Provider (which payment shall be made first from available funds in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account and thereafter from any other available source, including, without limitation, a drawing under the Replacement Liquidity Facility) shall be paid by the Operating Bank upon receipt of a Written Notice of the Administrative Agent setting forth the amount of the Credit Facility Obligations then owing to the replaced Initial Liquidity Facility Provider and (z) the issuer of the Replacement Liquidity Facility shall deliver the Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Administrative Agent, together with a legal opinion opining that such Replacement Liquidity Facility has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and is an enforceable obligation of, such Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider, such legal opinion to be reasonably satisfactory to the Controlling Party unless the legal opinion of counsel to the Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider is in form and substance substantially the same as the legal opinion of counsel to the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider delivered on the Initial Closing Date.

(C)           Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 3.14(e)(iii) with respect to a Replacement Liquidity Facility, (w) the replaced Initial Liquidity Facility shall terminate, (x) the Administrative Agent shall, if and to the extent so requested by the Issuer or the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider being replaced, execute and deliver any certificate or other instrument required in order to terminate the replaced Initial Liquidity Facility, shall surrender the replaced Initial Liquidity Facility to the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider being replaced and shall execute and deliver the Replacement Liquidity Facility, (y) each of the parties hereto shall enter into any amendments to this Indenture and any other Related Documents necessary to give effect to (1) the replacement of the applicable Initial Liquidity Facility Provider with the applicable Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider and (2) the replacement of the applicable Initial Liquidity Facility with the applicable Replacement Liquidity Facility and (z) such Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider shall be deemed to be a provider of an Eligible Credit Facility with the rights and obligations of the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider hereunder and under the other Related Documents and such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed to be an Eligible Credit Facility (and, if so designated by the Controlling Trustees, the “Initial Liquidity Facility”) hereunder and under the other Related Documents.

 

For purposes of clarification, an assignment to an Eligible Provider as permitted thereunder by the provider of the Initial Liquidity Facility or any other Eligible Credit Facility shall not be considered a Replacement Liquidity Facility; provided, that written notification of such assignment shall have been provided to the Rating Agencies, and the assignee has delivered to the Administrative Agent legal opinions with respect to due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability substantially similar in scope and substance to the legal opinions delivered by counsel to the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider on the Initial Closing Date.  Following any assignment in accordance with the provisions thereof and in the foregoing proviso, the assignee shall be deemed to be the “Initial Liquidity Facility Provider” for all purposes of the Related Documents.

 

(f)            Liquidity Facility Reserve Account; Withdrawals; Investments.  All amounts drawn under the Initial Liquidity Facility by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.14(c), 3.14(d) or 3.14(i) hereof shall be deposited by the Administrative Agent into the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account.  All amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account, including any amount deposited in accordance with clause (iii) of Section 3.09(a) or clause (iii) of Section 3.09(b), shall be invested and reinvested in accordance with Section 3.02.  Upon a request by the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider with the amount of Investment Earnings held in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account as of the Calculation Date.

(h)           Reimbursement.  The amount of each Facility Drawing under the Initial Liquidity Facility and any amounts withdrawn from the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account following a Downgrade Drawing, Non-Extension Drawing or a Final Drawing shall be due and payable, together with interest thereon, on the dates and at the rates, respectively, provided in the Initial Liquidity Facility but only to the extent that Available Collections are sufficient to pay such amounts in the order of priority set forth in Section 3.09.

The terms of the Pro Forma Lease may be revised from time to time by the Servicer, provided that any such revisions shall be consistent with the Core Lease Provisions.

(d)           Maintenance of Assets.  The Issuer will, with respect to each Engine under Lease, cause, directly or indirectly, through any Issuer Subsidiary, such Engine to be maintained in a state of repair and condition consistent with the reasonable commercial practice of leading international Aircraft Engine operating lessors with respect to similar engines under lease, taking into consideration, among other things, the identity of the relevant Lessee (including the credit standing and operating experience thereof), the age and condition of the Engine and the jurisdiction in which the airframe that such Engine is installed on will be registered or in which the Lessee is based. In addition, the Issuer will, with respect to each Engine that is not subject to a Lease, maintain, and cause each Issuer Subsidiary to maintain, such Engine in a state of repair and condition consistent with the reasonable commercial practice of leading international Aircraft Engine operating lessors with respect to engines not under lease.

 

(e)           Notification of Loss, Theft, Damage or Destruction.  The Issuer will notify the Trustee, the Security Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Servicer, in writing, as soon as the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary becomes aware of any loss, theft, damage or destruction to any Engine if the potential cost of repair or replacement of such asset (without regard to any insurance claim related thereto) may exceed $1,000,000 and will notify such Persons and the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider, in writing, as soon as the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary becomes aware of a Total Loss with respect to any Engine.

 

(f)            Insurance.  The Issuer will maintain or cause, directly or indirectly through the Issuer Subsidiaries, to be maintained with reputable and responsible insurers or with insurers that maintain relevant reinsurance with reputable and responsible reinsurers (i) insurance for each Engine in an amount at least equal to the Adjusted Appraised Value for such Engine (or the equivalent thereof from time to time if such insurance is denominated in a currency other than Dollars), (ii) liability insurance denominated in Dollars for each Engine and occurrence in an amount at least equal to the relevant amount set forth on Exhibit C hereto for each type of Engine and as amended from time to time with notice to the Rating Agencies, and (iii) political risk insurance (“PRI”) for each Engine subject to a Lease to a Lessee that is habitually based in a jurisdiction determined in accordance with the PRI Guidelines, in an amount at least equal to the Adjusted Appraised Value (or the equivalent thereof from time to time if such insurance is denominated in a currency other than Dollars) for such Engine.

 

95



 

Deductibles and self-insurance for Engines subject to a Lease may be maintained in an amount up to the higher of (x) an amount not to exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate in respect of any one occurrence in respect of such Engines and (y) the amount obtained pursuant to commercially reasonable deductible and self-insurance arrangements (taking into account, inter alia, the lease terms and conditions customarily available to the applicable Lessee, experience of such Lessee, the type of aircraft on which the Engine may be installed and market practices in the commercial aviation industry generally).  The coverage and terms (including endorsements, deductibles and self-insurance arrangements) of any insurance maintained with respect to any Engine not subject to a Lease shall be substantially consistent with the commercial practices of leading international Aircraft Engine operating lessors regarding similar engines.  The Security Trustee shall be named as sole loss payee on all insurance other than liability insurance, and the Trustee and Security Trustee shall be named as additional insureds on all liability insurance.

 

In determining the amount of insurance required to be maintained by this Section 5.03(f), the Issuer may take into account any indemnification from, or insurance provided by, any governmental, supranational or inter-governmental authority or agency (other than, with respect to PRI, any governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction for which PRI must be obtained), the sovereign foreign currency debt of which is rated at least AA, or the equivalent, by at least one of the Rating Agencies, against any risk with respect to an Engine at least in an amount which, when added to the amount of insurance against such risk maintained by the Issuer (or which the Issuer has caused to be maintained), shall be at least equal to the amount of insurance against such risk otherwise required by this Section 5.03(f) (taking into account self-insurance permitted by this Section 5.03(f)).  Any such indemnification or insurance provided by such government shall provide substantially similar protection as the insurance required by this Section 5.03(f).  The Issuer will not be required to maintain (or to cause to be maintained) any insurance otherwise required hereunder to the extent that such insurance is not generally available in the relevant insurance market at commercially reasonable rates from time to time.

 

(g)           Indemnity.  The Issuer will, and shall cause each Issuer Subsidiary to, include in each Lease an indemnity from such Person in respect of any losses or liabilities arising from the use or operation of the related Engine during the term of such Lease, subject to such exceptions, limitations and qualifications as are consistent with the reasonable commercial practice of leading international Aircraft Engine operating lessors.

 

(h)           Fees and License.  The Issuer will, and shall cause each Issuer Subsidiary to, promptly pay or cause to be promptly, paid all license and registration fees and all taxes of any nature (together with any penalties, fines or interest thereon) assessed and demanded by any government or any revenue authority (whether of the applicable country of registration of the airframe on which any Engine is installed or otherwise), upon or with respect to any Engines or upon the purchase, ownership, delivery, leasing, possession, use, operation, return, sale or other disposition thereof or rentals, income or proceeds received with respect thereto.

 

Section 5.04          Compliance Through Agents.  The Issuer shall be entitled to delegate the performance of any of its covenants hereunder to one or more Service Providers pursuant to one or more Related Documents entered into in accordance with the terms of this Indenture so long as each such Related Document is subject to the Encumbrance of the Security Trust Agreement.  Nothing in this Section 5.04 is intended to, or shall, relieve the Issuer from any liability or consequences hereunder arising from the failure of the Issuer or any such Service Provider to perform any such covenant strictly in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 10.06         Senior Claims and Junior Claims Unimpaired.  Nothing in this Article X shall impair, as between the Issuer and any Senior Claimant or any Junior Claimant, the obligations of the Issuer to such Person, including without limitation the Senior Claims and the Junior Claims; provided that it is understood that the enforcement of rights and remedies shall be subject to the terms of this Indenture and the Security Trust Agreement.

 

ARTICLE XI

 

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

 

Section 11.01         Discharge of Liability on the Notes; Defeasance.  (a)  When (i) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee all Outstanding Notes (other than Notes that have been lost, stolen or destroyed and that have been replaced pursuant to Section 2.08) for cancellation or (ii) all Outstanding Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a result of the mailing of a notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.11(c) and the Issuer irrevocably deposits in the Defeasance/Redemption Account funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Outstanding Notes, including interest thereon to maturity or the Redemption Date (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.08) and (iii) all amounts owed to the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider have been paid in full, and if in each case the Issuer pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 11.01(c), cease to be of further effect.  The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Issuer accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, at the cost and expense of the Issuer, to the effect that any conditions precedent to a discharge of this Indenture have been met.

 

(b)           Subject to Sections 11.01(c) and 11.02 hereof, the Issuer at any time may terminate (i) all its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (“Legal Defeasance” option) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.01 (other than with respect to a failure to comply with Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(b), 4.01(c), 4.01(e) (only with respect to the Issuer), 4.01(f) (only with respect to the Issuer)), 5.02 and 5.03 (“Covenant Defeasance” option).  The Issuer may exercise its Legal Defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its Covenant Defeasance option.

 

If the Issuer exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of any Notes subject to such Legal Defeasance may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.  If the Issuer exercises its Covenant Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default (other than with respect to a failure to comply with Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(b), 4.01(c), 4.01(e) (other than with respect to the Issuer), 4.01(f) (other than with respect to the Issuer)) and 5.02(k) hereof.

(c)          Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.01, 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09 and 5.02(k), Article VI, and Sections 8.01, 11.04, 11.05 and 11.06 hereof shall survive until all the Notes have been paid in full.  Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 8.01, 11.04 and 11.05 shall survive.

 

Section 11.02                          Conditions to Defeasance.  The Issuer may exercise its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option only if:

 

(a)          the Issuer irrevocably deposits in trust in the Defeasance/Redemption Account any one or any combination of (i) money, (ii) obligations of, and supported by the full faith and credit of, the U.S. Government (“U.S. Government Obligations”) or (iii) obligations of corporate issuers (“Corporate Obligations”) (provided that any such Corporate Obligations are rated AA+, or the equivalent, or higher, by the Rating Agencies at such time and shall not have a maturity of longer than three years from the date of defeasance) for the payment of all principal or Redemption Price and interest (A) on the Notes being defeased, in the case of Legal Defeasance, or (B) on all of the Notes in the case of Covenant Defeasance, in either case, to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

 

(b)         the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the Corporate Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal and interest when due (i) on the Notes being defeased, in the case of Legal Defeasance, or (ii) on all of the Notes in the case of Covenant Defeasance, in either case, to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(d)         the deposit described in clause (a) above does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Issuer;

 

(e)          the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit described in clause (a) does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

 

(f)            in the case of the Legal Defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

 

(g)         in the case of the Covenant Defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

 

107



 

(h)         if the related Notes are then listed on any securities exchange, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit, defeasance and discharge will not cause such Notes to be delisted;

 

(i)             a Rating Agency Confirmation and the prior written consent of the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider is obtained relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section 11.02;

(k)          the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate that all conditions precedent to such defeasance have been satisfied.

 

Section 11.03                          Application of Trust Money.  The Trustee shall hold in trust in the Defeasance/Redemption Account money, U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article XI.  Upon payment of its fees and expenses, it shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes.

 

Section 11.04                          Repayment to Issuer.  The Trustee shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon written request any excess money or securities held by it at any time after application of the appropriate defeasance option.

 

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee shall pay to the Issuer upon written request any money held by it for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors.  Such unclaimed funds shall remain uninvested and in no event shall the Trustee be liable for interest on such unclaimed funds.

 

Section 11.05                          Indemnity for Government Obligations and Corporate Obligations.  The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any Tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations, or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations.

 

Section 11.06                          Reinstatement.  If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations in accordance with this Article XI by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application or otherwise, the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XI until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such money, U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations in accordance with this Article XI; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money, U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations held by the Trustee.

ARTICLE XII

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 12.01                          Right of Trustee to Perform.  If the Issuer for any reason fails to observe or punctually to perform any of its obligations to the Trustee, whether under this Indenture or any of the other Related Documents or otherwise, the Trustee shall have power (but shall have no obligation), on behalf of or in the name of the Issuer or otherwise, to perform such obligations and to take any steps which the Trustee may, in its absolute discretion, consider appropriate with a view to remedying, or mitigating the consequences of, such failure by the Issuer; provided that no exercise or failure to exercise this power by the Trustee shall in any way prejudice the Trustee’s other rights under this Indenture or any of the other Related Documents.

 

Section 12.02                          Waiver.  Any waiver by any party of any provision of this Indenture or any right, remedy or option hereunder shall only prevent and estop such party from thereafter enforcing such provision, right, remedy or option if such waiver is given in writing and only as to the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver was given.  The failure or refusal of any party hereto to insist in any one or more instances, or in a course of dealing, upon the strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture by any party hereto or the partial exercise of any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any such term or provision, but the same shall continue in full force and effect.  No failure on the part of the Trustee to exercise, and no delay on its part in exercising, any right or remedy under this Indenture will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.  The rights and remedies provided in this Indenture are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.  In the event Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is no longer the Trustee and the Paying Agent, then the Trustee shall notify the Paying Agent promptly of any waiver by any party of any provision of this Indenture pursuant to this Section 12.02.

 

Section 12.03                          Severability.  In the event that any provision of this Indenture or the application thereof to any party hereto or to any circumstance or in any jurisdiction governing this Indenture shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it is invalid or unenforceable and the remainder of this Indenture, and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to the parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall the same affect the validity or enforceability of this Indenture.  The parties hereto further agree that the holding by any court of competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by the Trustee hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect in any way the ability of the Trustee to pursue any other remedy available to it.

 

Section 12.04                          Restrictions on Exercise of Certain Rights; Limited Recourse.  (a)  Each of the parties hereto (other than the Trustee) hereby agrees with the Trustee that, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.04 hereof, it shall not sue for recovery or take any other steps for the purpose of recovering any of the Obligations hereunder or any other debts or liabilities whatsoever owing to it by the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary.  Each of the parties hereto (other than the Trustee) hereby agrees with the Trustee that it shall not take any steps for the purpose of procuring the appointment of an administrative receiver, examiner, receiver or similar officer or the making of an administration order or for instituting any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, winding up, liquidation, composition, examinership or any like proceedings under United States federal law or the laws of State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction in respect of either the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary or in respect of any of their respective liabilities.

 

109



 

(b)         Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that all amounts payable by the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary in respect of the Obligations hereunder shall be recoverable only from and to the extent of:

 

(i)                                     amounts on deposit in the Accounts;

 

(ii)                                  any other assets of the Issuer and the Issuer Subsidiaries and any proceeds thereof;

 

(iii)                               in the case of any payments by way of indemnity to be made by the Issuer pursuant to any Related Document, to any liability insurance proceeds payable in respect of such indemnity obligation on the part of the Issuer; provided that any such liability insurance proceeds shall be held in trust for the Person entitled to the relevant indemnity by the recipient thereof; and

 

(iv)                              any other Collateral pledged under the Security Trust Agreement,

 

and in consequence the Trustee agrees (A) that it shall look solely to the foregoing property for payment of all amounts payable by the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary in respect of the obligations hereunder and that none of the Issuer nor any Issuer Subsidiary shall be otherwise personally liable therefor and (B) that it shall not petition for the bankruptcy, examinership, insolvency, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, amalgamation or dissolution of the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary (or any of their assets or undertakings); provided that if any such proceeding is commenced by any other Person, the Trustee shall be entitled to join, claim or prove in such proceeding; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.04(b) shall not:

 

(1)                                  limit or restrict in any way the accrual of interest on any unpaid amount (although the limitations as to the personal liability of the Issuer and each Issuer Subsidiary shall apply to such interest on such unpaid amount); or

 

(2)                                  limit or restrict in any way the personal liability of the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary for the discharge or its nonmonetary obligations in relation to its covenants, undertakings, representations and warranties (or any monetary obligations arising from any breach thereof) under any Related Document.

Section 12.06                          Assignments; Third Party Beneficiary.  This Indenture shall be a continuing obligation of the Issuer and shall (a) be binding upon the Issuer and its successors and assigns and (b) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, and by its successors, transferees and assigns.  The Issuer may not assign any of its obligations under this Indenture, or other than as provided in Section 5.04, delegate any of its duties hereunder.  Each Eligible Credit Facility shall be a third party beneficiary of Sections 3.09, 9.01 and 9.03, as applicable.  The Servicer and each of the Sellers shall each be a third party beneficiary of each provision of this Indenture that affects any of its rights or obligations under this Indenture or any Related Document, including (with respect to the Servicer and each of the Sellers only) the provisions hereof providing for Priority Expense payment and Encumbrance priority for amounts payable to the Servicer or any of the Sellers under the Servicing Agreement or the Acquisition Transfer Agreement or any other Related Document.

 

Section 12.07                          Currency Conversion.  (a)  If any amount is received or recovered by the Administrative Agent or the Trustee in respect of this Indenture or any part thereof (whether as a result of the enforcement of the security created under the Security Trust Agreement or pursuant to this Indenture or any judgment or order of any court or in the liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer or by way of damages for any breach of any obligation to make any payment under or in respect of the Issuer’s obligations hereunder or any part thereof or otherwise) in a currency (the “Received Currency”) other than the currency in which such amount was expressed to be payable (the “Agreed Currency”), then the amount in the Received Currency actually received or recovered by the Trustee or the Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, only constitute a discharge to the Issuer to the extent of the amount of the Agreed Currency which the Administrative Agent or the Trustee was or would have been able in accordance with its normal procedures to purchase on the date of actual receipt or recovery (or, if that is not practicable, on the next date on which it is so practicable), and, if the amount of the Agreed Currency which the Administrative Agent or Trustee is or would have been so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Agreed Currency which was originally payable by the Issuer, the Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent or the Trustee such amount as the Administrative Agent or the Trustee shall determine to be necessary to indemnify the Trustee and the Administrative Agent against any loss sustained by it as a result (including the cost of making any such purchase and any premiums, commissions or other charges paid or Incurred in connection therewith) and so that such indemnity, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, (i) shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Issuer distinct from its obligation to discharge the amount which was originally payable by the Issuer and (ii) shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action and apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Administrative Agent or the Trustee and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of the amount originally payable by the Issuer or any judgment or order and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required.

(b)         For the purpose of or pending the discharge of any of the moneys and liabilities hereby secured the Administrative Agent may, or cause the Operating Bank to, convert any moneys received, recovered or realized by the Administrative Agent under this Indenture (including the proceeds of any previous conversion under this Section 12.07) or any funds currently maintained in any account hereunder from their existing currency of denomination into the currency of denomination (if different) of such moneys and liabilities and any conversion from one currency to another for the purposes of any of the foregoing shall be made at the Trustee’s then prevailing spot selling rate at its office by which such conversion is made.  If not otherwise required to be applied in the Received Currency, the Administrative Agent, acting on behalf of the Security Trustee, shall promptly convert any moneys in such Received Currency other than U.S. dollars into U.S. dollars.  Each previous reference in this Section 12.07 to a currency extends to funds of that currency and funds of one currency may be converted into different funds of the same currency.  The cost and expense of any such conversion shall be added to and reflected in the rate obtained for conversion and in no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates be liable in respect of the exchange rate obtained for any such conversion or any related cost or expense.

 

Section 12.08                          Application to Court.  The Trustee may at any time after the service of a Default Notice apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an order that the terms of this Indenture be carried into execution under the direction of such court and for the appointment of a Receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof and for any other order in relation to the administration of this Indenture as the Controlling Party shall deem fit and the Trustee may assent to or approve any application to any court of competent jurisdiction made at the instigation of any of the Holders and shall be indemnified by the Issuer against all costs, charges and expenses Incurred by it in relation to any such application or proceedings.

The maturity of this Note is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence and during the continuance of the Events of Default specified in the Indenture.

 

This Note is and will be secured, on a subordinated basis as referred to above, by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Security Trust Agreement.

 

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, there will be distributed with respect to this Note monthly on each Payment Date commencing on [                                ], to the Holder hereof, such Holder’s pro rata share (based on the aggregate percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class 2012-A Notes held by such Holder) of the aggregate amount as may be distributable to all Holders of Class 2012-A Notes on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture.

 

All amounts payable in respect of this Note shall be payable in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds in the manner provided in the Indenture to the Holder hereof.  The final payment with respect to this Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note by the Holder or its agent at the Corporate Trust Office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent specified in the notice given by the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such final payment.  At such time, if any, as this Note is issued in the form of one or more Definitive Notes, payments on a Payment Date shall be made by check mailed to each Holder of such a Definitive Note on the applicable Record Date at its address appearing on the Register maintained with respect to the Class 2012-A Notes.  Alternatively, upon application in writing to the Trustee, not later than the applicable Record Date, a Holder of one or more Definitive Notes of Class 2012-A Notes, may have such payments made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Holder at a financial institution in New York, New York; provided that, Holders of Definitive Notes having an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 shall have such payment made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Holder at a financial institution in New York, New York.

The final payment with respect to any such Definitive Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Definitive Note by the Holder or its agent at the Corporate Trust Office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent specified in the notice of such final payment given by the Trustee or Paying Agent.  The Trustee or Paying Agent shall mail such notice of the final payment of a Definitive Note to the Holder thereof, specifying the date and amount of such final payment, no later than five Business Days prior to such final payment.

 

The Class 2012-A Notes (except with respect to notes purchased by institutional “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D of the Securities Act (collectively, “Institutional Accredited Investors”)) are issuable in a single class only in fully registered form without interest coupons.  A Holder may transfer a Global Note by delivery thereof and otherwise complying with the terms of the Indenture.  No transfer of a Definitive Note shall be effective until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register; provided that, in no event may any Note be transferred in any transaction that is required to be registered under the Securities Act.  When a Definitive Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange it for an equal principal amount of Class 2012-A Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Definitive Note is accompanied by a completed Transfer Notice in the form attached to such Definitive Note duly executed by the Holder thereof (or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Holder) and by an agreement in the form of Exhibit I to the Indenture duly executed by the transferee of such Definitive Note).  No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Definitive Note, but the party requesting such new Note or Notes may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Prior to the registration of transfer of a Definitive Note, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the absolute owner and Holder hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to a Definitive Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note may be repaid prior to the Final Maturity Date through the application on the Payment Dates of the Available Collections to the principal hereof as provided in Section 3.09 of the Indenture (after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.09 of the Indenture).  In addition, the Issuer may optionally redeem all or part of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note on any Payment Date at the applicable Redemption Price (calculated as provided in the Indenture), or, in the case of a redemption for taxation reasons specified in the Indenture, at the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof plus accrued and unpaid interest hereon.  Further, the Issuer may provide for the defeasance of this Note in accordance with Article XI of the Indenture.

 

Any amount of premium or interest (other than Step-Up Interest) on this Note that is not paid when due shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at an interest rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate of Interest from the date when due until such amount is paid or duly provided for, payable on the next succeeding Payment Date, subject to the availability of the Available Collections therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.09 of the Indenture.

 

Any Step-Up Interest Amount on this Note that is not paid when due shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at an interest rate per annum equal to three percent (3.0%) from the date when due, compounded monthly, until such amount is paid or duly provided for, payable on the next succeeding Payment Date, subject to the availability of the Available Collections therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.09 of the Indenture.

The Indenture permits the amendment or modification of the Indenture and the Class 2012-A Notes by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of all Notes on the date of any vote of such Holders (voting as a single class) and the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider; provided that, without the consent of each provider of an Eligible Credit Facility and each Holder of any Notes, in each instance affected thereby, no such amendment may, (i) modify the provisions of the Indenture or the Notes setting forth the frequency or the currency of payment of, the maturity of, or the method of calculation of the amount of, any interest, principal or Redemption Price, if any, payable in respect of the Notes, (ii) reduce the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes required to approve any amendment or waiver of Section 9.01 of the Indenture or (iii) alter the manner or priority of payment of the Notes (each such amendment referred to in subsection A and B, a “Basic Terms Modification”).  The Indenture permits the Trustee to agree with the Issuer, without the consent of any Holder or any provider of an Eligible Credit Facility (but in the case of clauses (b) and (c) below, with the consent of the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider), (a) to any modification (other than a Basic Terms Modification) of, or the waiver or authorization of any breach or prospective breach of, any provision of any Related Document or of the Notes to correct a manifest error or an error which is of a formal, minor or technical nature, (b) to modify the provisions of the Indenture or the Administrative Agency Agreement relating to the timing of movement of Rental Payments or other monies received or Expenses Incurred among the Accounts by the Administrative Agent, (c) to add or replace any Eligible Credit Facility, (d) to any amendment (other than a Basic Terms Modification) of an immaterial nature necessary to permit the issuance of Refinancing Notes (all in a manner consistent with the express provisions of the Indenture) or (e) to comply with the requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (as amended, the “Trust Indenture Act”).  Any amendment or modification of the Indenture shall be binding on every Holder hereof, whether or not notation thereof is made upon this Note.

 

The subordination provisions contained in Section 3.09 and Article X of the Indenture may not be amended or modified without the consent of the Servicer, each provider of an Eligible Credit Facility and each Holder of the Notes affected thereby.  In no event shall the provisions set forth in Section 3.09 of the Indenture relating to the priority of the Expenses and payments under all Eligible Credit Facilities be amended or modified.

INSURANCE PROVISIONS

 

MINIMUM COVERAGE AMOUNTS

 

1. Hull Insurance: With respect to any Engine, hull insurance shall be maintained by the Lessee and, to the extent such hull insurance is not maintained by Lessee, the Issuer shall maintain contingent hull insurance coverage, in each case, in an amount at least equal to Adjusted Appraised Value for such Engine; provided, however, that in the event that an agreement with respect to hull insurance cannot be reached with any particular Lessee pursuant to which such Lessee will pay the premiums to procure such insurance in amounts consistent with the foregoing, hull insurance shall be procured by the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer in an amount equal to the amount set forth above, at the expense of the Issuer. Parts, if any, shall be insured on the basis of their replacement cost under similar circumstances.

 

2. Liability Insurance: Liability insurance shall be maintained by the Lessee and, to the extent such liability insurance is not maintained by the Lessee, the Issuer shall maintain contingent liability insurance coverage, in each case, for each Engine and occurrence in an amount consistent with the reasonable commercial practices of leading international aircraft engine operating lessors.

 

3. Insurance Deductibles

 

(a) Deductibles and self-insurance for Engines subject to a Lease may be maintained in an amount pursuant to deductible and self-insurance arrangements (taking into account, inter alia, the creditworthiness and experience of the Lessee, the type of aircraft engine and market practices in the aircraft engine insurance industry generally) consistent with the Servicer’s commercially reasonable practices for its own aircraft engines.

 

(b) Deductibles for Engines off-lease shall be maintained in respect of anyone occurrence in respect of such Engines in an amount consistent with the Servicer’s commercially reasonable practice for its own aircraft engines with any difference between such amount and $500,000 (or such other amount as the Issuer may direct in writing from time to time), taking into account any deductible insurance procured, to be notified to the Issuer by the Servicer.

 

4. Other Insurance Matters: Apart from the matters set forth above, the coverage and terms of any insurance with respect to any Engine not subject to a Lease, shall be substantially consistent with the reasonable commercial practices of the Servicer with respect to its own aircraft engines.

 

5. Additional Insureds: Any insurance arrangements entered into with respect to any Engine shall include as named insureds the Trustee  and such persons as are reasonably requested by the Issuer.

 

6. Currencies: All amounts payable under any insurance policy shall be denominated in U.S. dollar terms.

 

7. Availability: The insurance guidelines set forth herein are subject to such insurance being generally available in the relevant insurance market at commercially reasonable rates from time to time.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture, dated as of September 14, 2012  (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, as Operating Bank and as Trustee (the “Trustee”), WILLIS LEASE FINANCE CORPORATION, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and CRÉDIT AGRICOLE CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANK, as Initial Liquidity Facility Provider (the “Initial Liquidity Facility Provider”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Indenture.

 

(the “Transferor”) owns and proposes to transfer Beneficial Interests corresponding to U.S. $                         principal amount of Class 2012-A Term Notes of the Issuer, to                                        (the “Transferee”).  Pursuant to Section 2.12(c) of the Indenture, and in connection with the Transfer, the Transferor hereby certifies that:

 

[CHECK ALL THAT APPLY]

Upon consummation of the proposed Transfer in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the transferred Beneficial Interest will be subject to the restrictions on transfer enumerated in the legend printed on the 144A Global Note and in the Indenture and the Securities Act.

 

2.                                       2. ¨ Check if Transferee will take delivery of a Beneficial Interest in the Regulation S Global Note pursuant to Regulation S.  The Transfer is being effected pursuant to and in accordance with [Rule 903 or] Rule 904 under the Securities Act and, accordingly, the Transferor hereby further certifies that (i) the Transfer is not being made to a Person in the United States and (x) at the time the buy order was originated, the Transferee was outside the United States or such Transferor and any Person acting on its behalf reasonably believed and believes that the Transferee was outside the United States or (y) the transaction was executed in, on or through the facilities of a designated offshore securities market and neither such Transferor nor any Person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction was prearranged with a buyer in the United States, (ii) no directed selling efforts have been made in contravention of the requirements of [Rule 903(b) or] Rule 904(b) of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (iii) the transaction is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of the Securities Act and (iv) the transfer is not being made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser).  Upon consummation of the proposed transfer in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, until the expiration of the Restricted Period, the transferred Beneficial Interest will be subject to the restrictions on Transfer enumerated in the legend printed on the Regulation S Global Note and in the Indenture and the Securities Act.

 

Each of you is entitled to rely upon this letter and is irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

Re:                               Purchase of US$[          ] principal amount of Class 2012-A Term Notes (the “Notes”) of Willis Engine Securitization Trust II

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

In connection with our purchase of the Notes we confirm that:

 

1.                                       We understand that the Notes are not being and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and are being sold to us in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act.

 

2.                                       We acknowledge that (a) neither of Willis Engine Securitization Trust II (the “Issuer”), nor the Initial Purchasers (as defined in the Offering Memorandum dated September 6, 2012 relating to the Notes (the “Final Memorandum”)) nor any person acting on behalf of the Issuer or the Initial Purchasers has made any representation to us with respect to the Issuer or the offer or sale of any Notes; (b) any information we desire concerning the Issuer and the Notes or any other matter relevant to our decision to purchase the Notes (including a copy of the Final Memorandum) is or has been made available to us; and (c) we have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of representatives of the Issuer and receive answers thereto, as we deem necessary in connection with our decision to purchase the Notes.

 

3.                                       We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes, and we are (or any account for which we are purchasing under paragraph 4 below is) an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Act) able to bear the economic risk of investment in the Notes.

4.                                       In the event that we purchase any of the Notes, we will acquire Notes having a minimum purchase price of not less than $100,000 for our own account or for any separate account for which we are acting.

 

5.                                       We are acquiring the Notes for our own account (or for accounts as to which we exercise sole investment discretion and have authority to make, and do make, the statements contained in this letter) and not with a view to any distribution of the Notes, subject, nevertheless, to the understanding that the disposition of our property will at all times be and remain within our control.

 

6.                                       We understand that (a) the Notes will be in definitive registered form only and that any certificates delivered to us in respect of the Notes will bear a legend indicating that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are subject to certain restrictions on transfer and (b) the Company has agreed to cause the Trustee to reissue such notes without the foregoing legend only in the event of a disposition of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 7 (provided, in the case of a disposition of the Notes in accordance with paragraph 7(f) below, that the legal opinion referred to in such paragraph so permits), or at our request at such time as we would be permitted to dispose of them in accordance with paragraph 7(a) below.

 

7.                                       We agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to dispose of any of the Notes, we will not do so unless such disposition is made in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and:

 

(a)                                  the Notes are sold in compliance with Rule 144 under the Act, and we theretofore have furnished to the Issuer or its designee an opinion of counsel experienced in securities law matters to such effect or such other documentation as the Issuer or its designee may reasonably request; or

 

(b)                                 the Notes are sold in compliance with Rule 144A under the Act; or

 

(c)                                  the Notes are sold to an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Act), and we theretofore have furnished to the Issuer or its designee an agreement in the form of Exhibit I to the Indenture; or

 

(d)                                 the Notes are sold in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Act; or

 

(e)                                  the Notes are sold to the Issuer or an affiliate (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D) of the Issuer; or

 

(f)                                    the Notes are disposed of in any other transaction that does not require registration under the Act, and we theretofore have furnished to the Issuer or its designee an opinion of counsel experienced in securities law matters to such effect or such other documentation as the Issuer or its designee may reasonably request.

8.                                       We represent, warrant and agree that either (1) no portion of the assets used by us to acquire or hold any Notes or an interest therein constitutes or will constitute assets of any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), a plan, account or arrangement (such as a governmental, church or non-U.S. plan) that is subject to any federal, state, local or other U.S. law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Laws”) or an entity whose underlying assets are deemed to include assets of any such employee benefit plan, plan, account or arrangement or (2) the acquisition and holding by us of any Notes or an interest therein do not and will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any applicable Similar Laws.

 

 

 

Very truly yours,
