The Lessor agrees to take such steps at the cost and expense of the Lessee, as are reasonably necessary to enable the Lessee or, if the Aircraft is subleased pursuant to a Permitted Sublease, the Permitted Sublessee to receive the benefits of such warranties. The Lessee and, if the Aircraft is subleased pursuant to a Permitted Sublease, the Permitted Sublessee will have the benefit of any such warranties subject to any terms that the relevant Manufacturer, vendor or supplier may require.

 

8.4On the Expiry Date, the Lessee’s and, if the Aircraft is subleased pursuant to a Permitted Sublease, the Permitted Sublessee’s rights under the warranties referred to in Clause 8.3 (including their respective rights to pursue claims and receive payments thereunder) shall immediately revert to the Owner.

 

8.5On the Expiry Date, the Lessee and, if the Aircraft is subleased pursuant to a Permitted Sublease, the Permitted Sublessee, will at the Lessee’s own cost and expense, take all steps necessary to ensure that the benefit of any unexpired and transferable warranties relating to the Aircraft is vested in the Owner.

Withholdings

 

15.3The Lessee will not deduct any amount from any of its payments under the Transaction Documents, for or on account of any Taxes, unless the Lessee is obliged to do so under any Applicable Law.

 

15.4If the Lessee has to make a deduction as described in Clause 15.3, the Lessee must:

 

(a)deduct the minimum amount necessary to comply with its legal obligations;

 

(b)pay the Tax to the relevant authority in accordance with all Applicable Law;

 

(c)pay to the Lessor an additional amount so that the Lessor receives a net amount on the relevant payment date, that is equal to the amount that it would have received if the deduction had not been made; and

 

(d)obtain a receipt or, if not legally possible, provide other evidence for the payment of such Tax from the relevant authority and give it to the Lessor.

 

15.5If, following the making of any increased payment by the Lessee resulting from a requirement for the Lessee to make any Tax deduction, (a) the Lessor receives or is granted a credit against, remission or repayment of any Tax (a Tax Credit) payable by it which is referable to such Tax deduction or any increased payment made by the Lessee to the Lessor, and (b) such Tax Credit confers a genuine benefit on the Lessor, the Lessor shall, to the extent that it is satisfied that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of such Tax Credit and the right of the Lessor to obtain any other relief or allowance which may be available to it, and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, reimburse the Lessee with such amount as the Lessor shall certify (substantiating in reasonably sufficient detail the amount concerned) to the Lessee to be the proportion of the relevant Tax Credit as will leave the Lessor (after such reimbursement) in no better or worse position than it would have been in had there been no Tax deduction. Nothing in this Clause 15.5 shall:

 

(a)interfere with the right of the Lessor to arrange its Tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit; or

 

(b)oblige the Lessor to disclose any information relating to its Tax affairs or any Tax computations.

 

Payment of Taxes

 

15.6Subject to any exceptions expressly set out in this Agreement, the Lessee shall promptly pay all Taxes imposed by any Government Entity with respect to this Agreement, the Lessee’s use of the Aircraft, and any Permitted Sublessee’s use of the Aircraft, in accordance with Applicable Law, including without limitation with respect to the ownership, delivery, leasing, sub-leasing, possession, use, operation, importation, exportation, redelivery, sale or other disposition of the Aircraft.

 

35

 

 

Tax Indemnity

 

15.7Subject to the exclusions set out in Clause 15.8, the Lessee shall immediately upon demand indemnify and hold harmless each of the Tax Indemnitees against any and all Taxes which a Tax Indemnitee may suffer or incur, whether directly or indirectly and which arise (and regardless of when the same are suffered or incurred) as a result of the ownership, maintenance, service repair, overhaul, delivery, possession, transfer of title or possession, import, export, pooling, modification, leasing, inspection, refurbishment, replacement, transportation, storing, testing, design, sub-leasing, positioning, interchange, condition, environmental damage, use, operation, control, location, alternation, registration or redelivery of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, any Part.

 

15.8The Lessee will not be required to indemnify any Tax Indemnitee under Clause 15.7 or pay such Taxes pursuant to Clause 15.6 to the extent the Tax for which the indemnity claim is made or the payment obligations applies:

 

(a)is covered pursuant to another indemnity provision of this Agreement and payment such Tax Indemnitee under such other indemnity has actually been received by the Lessor; or

 

(b)arises as a result of any Lessor Lien or Lessor Tax.

 

VAT

 

15.9For the purposes of Clauses 15.9, 15.10 and 15.11:

 

(a)VAT - includes value added tax and any goods and services, sales or turnover tax, imposition or levy of a like nature.

 

(b)Supply - includes anything on which VAT is charged.

 

15.10The Lessee must pay the Lessor or the relevant tax authority (as applicable) the amount of any VAT which is chargeable for any Supply made by the Lessor under any of the Transaction Documents.

 

15.11Each amount shown which the Lessee must pay under the Transaction Documents does not include VAT and if VAT is payable in respect of any amount, the Lessee shall pay all such VAT and shall indemnify the Lessor against any claims for the same (and where appropriate the Lessee shall increase the payments which would otherwise be required to be made hereunder so that the Lessor is left in the same position as it would have been in had no VAT been payable); and the Lessee shall provide evidence to the Lessor in respect of payment of any such VAT.

 

36

 

 

Currency protection

 

15.12The Lessee agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Loss which such Indemnitee suffers in converting any sum into Dollars if:

 

(a)such Indemnitee receives an amount relating to the Lessee’s obligations in a different currency from that in which payments should be made under the Transaction Documents; or

 

(b)the Lessee pays a judgment or claim in a different currency from that in which payments should be made under the Transaction Documents.

 

15.13The Lessee waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Transaction Documents in a currency other than the contractual currency.

 

Tax on indemnity payments

 

15.14The amount of any payment made under this Clause 15 must take into account the Tax treatment of the payment and of the Loss or Tax in respect of which the payment is claimed so that the Indemnitee is fully compensated, after that Tax treatment has been taken into account, for the Loss or Tax for which the relevant claim is made.

 

No indemnification of persons other than a Tax Indemnitee

 

15.15For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall have the effect of requiring the Lessee to indemnify any person (including any Financiers) other than a Tax Indemnitee against any Taxes which such person may suffer or incur, or to make any payment to a Tax Indemnitee in respect of any Tax which another person (including any Financiers) may suffer or incur.

 

Mitigation

 

15.16

 

(a)If any Indemnitee becomes aware of any Loss or Tax which may give rise to an indemnity obligation on the part of the Lessee under this Clause 15 (Indemnities) such Indemnitee shall notify the Lessee thereof, and, if requested by the Lessee take such action as is reasonably practicable (and the Lessee shall pay the Indemnitee’s costs and expenses) to defend or mitigate the relevant Loss or Tax (without prejudice to the Lessee’s obligation to indemnify hereunder) provided that:

 

(i)no such action may be taken by the Lessee or shall be required to be taken by such Indemnitee unless adequate provision in respect of the Loss or Tax and any associated costs or expenses has been made by the Lessee to the reasonable satisfaction of such Indemnitee (having regard to the nature and the amount of the Loss);

 

37

 

 

 

 

(ii)the Lessee shall indemnify such Indemnitee in full on demand in respect of any fees, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by the Lessor in connection with any action taken by such Indemnitee or Lessee as aforesaid; and

 

(iii)such action does not present a risk of the imposition of criminal penalties or civil penalties or any risk of the sale, forfeiture, or the loss of, or the creation of any Security Interest on the Aircraft, or any other adverse effect on the interests of an Indemnitee.

 

(b)Notwithstanding the forgoing, no Indemnitee shall be required to take, or omit to take, any action, if the effect of such action or omission would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Indemnitee (or its business affairs or reputation) or would be contrary to Applicable Law.

 

(c)Nothing in this Clause 15.16 shall in any way limit or diminish the obligations of the Lessee under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents to indemnify the Indemnitees in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 15 (Indemnities).

 

16Total Loss

 

Risk of Loss

 

16.1The Lessee will be responsible for all risks associated with a Total Loss throughout the Lease Period.

 

Total Loss: Airframe

 

16.2If the Airframe suffers a Total Loss at any time prior to Delivery, this Agreement will immediately terminate and neither Party will have any further obligations hereunder except as expressly stated and save for accrued rights, obligations and claims and any obligations expressed to survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

16.3If the Airframe suffers a Total Loss at any time after Delivery:

 

(a)the Lessee will pay the Agreed Value to the Loss Payee on the Total Loss Payment Date;

 

(b)the Lessee will continue to perform those of its obligations that remain capable of performance (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of Rent) up to and including the Total Loss Payment Date; and

 

38

 

 

 

(c)subject to the rights of any insurers, reinsurers or other third party, upon irrevocable payment in full of the Agreed Value to the Loss Payee and all other amounts which may be payable by the Lessee under this Agreement, the Lessor will transfer (or procure that the Owner transfers) all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Aircraft (including each Engine) to the Lessee or its nominee and will return to the Lessee any surplus proceeds of insurance provided to the Lessor over and above the amount of such Agreed Value. Ownership will be transferred on an “as-is, where-is” basis without any recourse or warranty except that there are no Lessor Liens and that the Lessor will execute or cause to be executed and delivered such bills of sale and other documents and instruments as the Lessee may reasonably request to evidence (on the public record or otherwise) the transfer and the vesting of the Owner’s rights, title and interest in and to the Aircraft in the Lessee, free and clear of all rights of the Owner and any Lessor Liens. The Lessee shall indemnify the Lessor and the Owner for all fees and expenses properly incurred and Taxes incurred by the Lessor or the Owner resulting from their compliance with this Clause 16.3(c).

 

Total Loss: Engine or Part

 

16.4If an Engine or a Part suffers a Total Loss which does not also involve a Total Loss of the Airframe (and as if, for these purposes, all references in the definition of Total Loss to Aircraft were to Engine or Part as the context may require) the Lessee shall:

 

(a)in the case of a lost Engine, APU or Landing Gear notify the Lessor promptly after becoming aware of the same;

 

(b)replace the lost Engine or lost Part with a Replacement Engine or Replacement Part (as applicable) in accordance with Clause 16.5 below; and

 

(c)continue to pay Rent and all other sums due under this Agreement as if the Total Loss had not occurred.

 

16.5As soon as practicable after the Total Loss referred to in Clause 16.4 above and in any event within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the occurrence thereof, the Lessee shall replace the lost Engine or lost Part at its own expense by ensuring that:

 

(a)title to a Replacement Engine or Replacement Part (and any Manufacturer Warranties relating to that Replacement Engine or Replacement Part) vests in the Owner free of any Security Interest other than Permitted Security Interests and becomes subject to this Agreement and to the Financing Documents; and

 

(b)the Lessee shall have caused all registrations and filings as required by law or reasonably requested by the Lessor, the Owner or any Financier (including without limitation those to be made with the International Registry) regarding such Replacement Engine (at the expense of the Lessee) as are necessary to ensure the protection and contemplated priority of the rights and interests of the Owner, Lessor, any Financier in respect thereof, as determined by the Owner, acting reasonably (and in any event at least to the same extent as the registrations made with respect to the Engines under this Agreement,

 

following which the Replacement Engine or Replacement Part shall, as the case may be become an Engine or Part.

 

39

 

 

16.6After the Lessee has carried out all of its obligations under Clauses 16.4 and 16.5, and unless the insurers are entitled to the replaced Engine or Part as salvage, the Lessor will, if requested, make sure that the Owner will transfer ownership of the replaced Engine or Part to the Lessee or its nominee. Ownership will be transferred on an “as-is, where-is” basis without any recourse or warranty except that there are no Lessor Liens and that the Lessor will execute or cause to be executed and delivered such bills of sale and other documents and instruments as the Lessee may reasonably request to evidence (on the public record or otherwise) the transfer and the vesting of the Owner’s rights, title and interest in and to such Engine or Part in the Lessee, free and clear of all rights of the Owner and any Lessor Liens. The Lessee shall indemnify the Lessor and the Owner for all fees and expenses properly incurred and Taxes incurred by the Lessor or the Owner resulting from their compliance with this Clause 16.6.

 

17Requisition

 

No Default

(a)the Lessee will continue to pay Rent and perform those of its obligations that remain capable of performance;

 

(b)the Lessee will be entitled to any hire paid by the requisitioning authority prior to the Expiry Date so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

 

(c)if the Requisitioning Period extends beyond the Scheduled Expiry Date, the Lessor will have an option, exercisable on notice to the Lessee, either:

 

(i)to continue the leasing of the Aircraft until the date on which the Aircraft ceases to be subject to such requisition; or

 

(ii)to treat the leasing of the Aircraft as terminated.

 

40

In such circumstances, the Lessee will be entitled to any hire paid by the requisitioning authority which is attributable to the period in question, so long as no Event of Default has occurred which is continuing.

 

17.3If the Lessor chooses to treat the leasing of the Aircraft as terminated, as contemplated in Clause 17.1(c)(ii) the Lessor will be entitled to any hire paid by the requisitioning authority after the Expiry Date.

(a)In case of a Lessee Illegality Event: the Lessee will as soon as reasonably practicable redeliver the Aircraft to the Lessor in accordance with Clause 19 (Return of the Aircraft), the applicable provisions of Part A of Schedule 9 (Redelivery Procedure) taking into account such Lessee Illegality Event and the provisions of Part B of Schedule 9 (Redelivery Condition) and shall pay to the Lessor amounts equal to those specified in Clause 21.3 (Payments).
