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 or become payable by the Lessee under this Agreement, the Lessor may at its option transfer (or procure that the Owner transfers) title to the Aircraft (or any Engine that has not suffered a Total Loss) or the remains thereof to the Lessee or its nominee.

15.3

Total Loss: Engine or Part

If 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):

 

  (a)

the Lessee must replace that Engine or Part;

 

  (b)

any replacement part must meet the requirements of Clause 10.2.1;

 

  (c)

in the case of a replacement engine, such engine must be a “Suitable Replacement Engine” which for the purposes of this Clause shall mean an engine:

 

  (i)

which is of the same model, or an improved or advanced version of the Engine it replaces, approved by the Manufacturer and the Aviation Authority for installation and operational use on the Airframe in conjunction with the other Engine;

 

Page 32

EXECUTION VERSION

 

  (ii)

which is in the same or better operating condition, has equivalent or less time elapsed since its last Engine Performance Restoration Shop Visit or since new (as applicable) and remaining equivalent warranty status as the Engine it replaces had immediately prior to such Total Loss;

 

  (iii)

which has as much useful life available until the next scheduled maintenance procedure for performance restoration as the Engine it replaces;

 

  (iv)

for which the Lessee can provide to the Lessor full details as to its source and full maintenance records (which in the case of life limited parts are sufficient to demonstrate to the Lessor’s satisfaction full back-to-birth traceability of such life limited parts);

 

  (v)

which has not been involved in any incident or accident;

 

  (vi)

which has the same or fewer total Flight Hours, Cycles and calendar time since new as the Engine it replaces;

 

  (vii)

which has the same or greater value, modification status and use as the Engine it replaces including Life Limited Parts;

 

  (viii)

which is free from any Security Interests (other than Permitted Security Interests) and for which the Lessee can provide to the Lessor such evidence of title as the Lessor may reasonably request;

 

  (ix)

against which there are no international interests, prospective international interests, national interests, or non-consensual rights or interests registered, as evidenced by a search of the International Registry; and

 

  (x)

which meets all Applicable Regulations;

 

  (d)

upon installation of a Suitable Replacement Engine on the Aircraft, such Suitable Replacement Engine shall automatically and without any further act:

  (i)

become and remain the property of the Owner, without any obligation and/or liability on the part of the Lessor, Owner, Owner Participant and/or Financiers, whether as to Taxes and/or otherwise; and

 

  (ii)

become subject to this Agreement and the Financing Documents as if it had been attached to the Aircraft on Delivery;

 

  (e)

if the Lessor requests, the Lessee shall, at its own cost, provide such documentary evidence and take such other action as the Lessor may request to evidence the transfer to the Owner of full ownership of the Suitable Replacement Engine and to protect the rights of the Security Trustee and/or other Financiers as mortgagee(s) in respect of such Suitable Replacement Engine;

 

  (f)

after the Lessee has carried out all of its obligations under this Clause 15.3 (Total Loss: Engine or Part), and unless the insurers are entitled to the replaced Engine or Part as salvage, the Lessor will, if requested, make sure that the Owner transfers 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 warranty except that there are no Lessor Liens. The Lessee shall indemnify the Lessor and the Owner for all fees, expenses and

all reasonable legal fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, stamp, documentary, registration or other like duties, taxes or charges incurred by the Lessor and/or the Lessor’s professional advisers, in connection with enforcing, protecting, or preserving (or attempting to enforce, perfect, protect or preserve) any of the Lessor’s rights, or in suing for or recovering any sum, under the Transaction Documents;

 

  (c)

all Break Costs;

 

  (d)

upon any such cancellation, all costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor in recovering possession of the Aircraft and in carrying out any works or modifications required to put the Aircraft into the Redelivery Condition and in storing and insuring the Aircraft following such repossession;

 

  (e)

upon any such cancellation, all Losses (including any loss of profit) suffered by the Lessor because of its inability to place the Aircraft on lease with another lessee on terms as favourable to the Lessor as under this Agreement or because the amount arising upon a sale or other disposal of the Aircraft or whatever other use, if any, to which the Lessor is able to put the Aircraft upon its return to the Lessor is not as profitable to the Lessor as the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement, including in any such case, Losses suffered by the Lessor in having customised the Aircraft for the Lessee for the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement;

The Lessor will use reasonable endeavours to mitigate such Losses (to the extent within its control to do so), but (i) the Lessor shall not be obliged to consult with the Lessee concerning any proposed course of action or to notify the Lessee of the taking of any particular action, and (ii) this provision is without prejudice to the Lessor’s rights under Clause 20.4 (Sale or re-lease of the Aircraft).

 

20.4

Sale or re-lease of the Aircraft

Upon any such cancellation as is mentioned in Clause 20.1 (Rights), the Lessor and/or the Owner may sell or re-lease or otherwise deal with the Aircraft at such time and in such manner and on such terms as the Lessor and/or the Owner considers appropriate in its absolute discretion, free and clear of any interest of the Lessee, as if this Agreement had never been entered into.

 

20.5

Deregistration

Upon any such cancellation as is mentioned in Clause 20.1 (Rights), the Lessee shall cooperate with the Lessor, to enable the Lessor to effect or cause to be effected the deregistration of the Aircraft from the State of Registration and the export of the Aircraft from the country where the Aircraft is for the time being situated and any other steps necessary to enable the Aircraft to be redelivered to the Lessor in accordance with this Agreement.

Illegality

If as a result of any change in Applicable Regulations after the date of this Agreement it becomes unlawful for the Lessor or the Lessee to give effect to any of their material obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (an “Illegality Event”), the Lessor may by notice in writing to the Lessee terminate the leasing of the Aircraft under this Agreement, such termination to take effect on the latest date (the “Effective Date”) on which the Lessor or the Lessee, as the case may be, may continue such leasing and such obligations without being in breach of Applicable Regulations, and the Lessee will forthwith redeliver the Aircraft to the Lessor in accordance with Clause 18 (Return of the Aircraft) and shall pay to the Lessor amounts equal to those specified in Clause 20.3 (Payments). The provisions of Clause 20.4 (Sale or re-lease of the Aircraft) and 20.5 (Deregistration) shall apply in respect of any such termination. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Lessor and the Lessee will consult up to the Effective Date as to any steps which may be taken to restructure the transaction to avoid such Illegality Event and to enter into substitute arrangements which are valid, legal and enforceable and which have the same commercial effect as this Agreement.

  (d)

in respect of each Engine, $169.41 per Flight Hour operated by such Engine (the “Engine Maintenance Payment Rate”); and

 

  (e)

in respect of each Engine LLP, an amount equal to (x) the Engine Manufacturer’s then applicable catalogue cost, divided by (y) 95% of the certified Engine Manual Chapter 5 life limit for each Cycle operated by such Engine LLP in that calendar month (the “Engine LLP Maintenance Payment Rate”).

 

2

Adjustment

 

2.1

The Maintenance Payment rates are based on the following assumptions:

 

  (a)

an assumed operating region of North America;

 

  (b)

an assumed Flight Hour to Cycle ratio of not less than 2.0:1 (the “Assumed Ratio”);

 

  (c)

an assumed annual utilisation of the Aircraft of not greater than 1,200 Flight Hours (the “Assumed Utilisation”);

 

  (d)

an assumed operational thrust rating of not greater than 27,000 lbs; and

 

  (e)

an assumed operational derate of not less than 10%.

If any of these assumptions prove to be incorrect at any time throughout the Lease Period, the Lessor shall reserve the right to adjust the Maintenance Payment Rates to reflect the actual utilisation and operation during the Lease Period.

 

2.2

In the event that the actual Flight Hour to Cycle ratio (the “Actual Ratio”) is different to the Assumed Ratio at any time during the Lease Period, the following matrix shall be used in order to calculate an adjustment to the Engine Maintenance Payment Rate as follows:

 

Actual Flight Hour to Cycle Ratio

   1.0:1      1.5:1      2.0:1      2:5:1      3.0:1  

Engine Maintenance Payment Rate

   $ 292.57      $ 203.04      $ 169.41      $ 154.43      $ 151.06  

 

Page 102

Y31001 – Avolon / Global X – Airbus A320 – MSN 3605


EXECUTION VERSION

 

Where the Actual Ratio is not specified in the table above, the revised Engine Maintenance Payment Rate shall be determined by linearly interpolating between the closest observed ratio. If the Actual Ratio falls outside the outer limits of the table, then the adjusted Engine Maintenance Payment Rate will be notified by Lessor to Lessee.

 

2.3

The Lessor reserves the right to adjust the Maintenance Payment Rates including retrospective adjustment if necessary, by reference to operational and maintenance cost experience and / or changes to the maintenance program of the Aircraft, if that experience shows that such Maintenance Payment Rates are or would be expected to be inadequate or result in a shortfall to pay for the next Qualifying Work in respect of each item of equipment to be completed.

 

3

Further adjustment and escalation

 

3.1

The Maintenance Payment Rates are stated in January 2021 Dollars and will be adjusted annually on 1 January, by way of agreed inflation adjustment, by:

 

  (a)

two per cent. (2%) per annum with respect to the Airframe 6 Year Structural Check Maintenance Payment Rate, Airframe 12 Year Structural Check Maintenance Payment Rate, APU Maintenance Payment Rate and Landing Gear Maintenance Payment Rate; and

 

  (b)

two point seven five per cent. (2.75%) per annum with respect to the Engine Maintenance Payment Rate.
