- 16-

(a) Airbus and the Buyer may, in respect of any Relevant Aircraft, agree to:

(i) defer the Delivery Date of any Relevant Aircraft to the extent that the aggregate deferral in relation thereto does not exceed the date falling [***] after the last day of such Relevant Aircraft’s Scheduled Delivery Month; and/or

(a) so far as Airbus is aware no Airbus Termination Event has occurred and is continuing; and

6.3 Subject always to the terms of this Agreement and provided no Airbus Termination Notice has been given under Clause 10.2 following the occurrence of a Termination Event with respect to any Relevant Aircraft that is continuing, Airbus undertakes to the Security Trustee that, prior to the termination or cancellation of the Assigned Purchase Agreement (which termination or cancellation by Airbus shall be made subject to Clause 6.4), Airbus will not unless required to do so by applicable law (and not by contract), transfer title to any of the Relevant Aircraft that are the subject of the Assigned Purchase Agreement to any person other than, subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement, the Security Trustee or a Permitted Transferee, other than in circumstances where (a) the Security Trustee or its Permitted Transferee has executed or is required under the terms of this Agreement to execute and has failed to do so, a Letter of Release with respect to such Relevant Aircraft or (b) there has occurred a Re-Assignment Event.

In such circumstances, following the service by the Security Trustee of a Step-In Notice the provisions of Clauses 7.4 to 7.5(b) shall apply as between Airbus and the Security Trustee.

6.7 If the Security Trustee has not served a Step-In Notice prior to the expiry of the Standstill Period, Airbus shall be entitled to exercise such rights as it then has to terminate or cancel the Assigned Purchase Agreement in respect of any or all of the relevant Aircraft without liability to the Security Trustee.
