Lease. 




6.    MAINTENANCE:  



        (a)  Lessee
agrees that the Aircraft will be maintained in compliance with any and all statutes, laws, ordinances, regulations and standards or directives issued by any
governmental agency applicable to the maintenance thereof, in compliance with any airworthiness certificate, license or registration relating to the Aircraft issued by any agency and in a manner that
does not modify or impair any existing warranties on the Aircraft or any part thereof. 



        (b)  Lessee
shall maintain, inspect, service, repair, overhaul and test the Aircraft (including each engine) in accordance with (i) all maintenance manuals initially
furnished with the Aircraft, including any subsequent amendments or supplements to such manuals issued by the manufacturer from time to time, (ii) all mandatory or otherwise required  "Service Bulletins" issued, supplied, or available by or through the manufacturer and/or the manufacturer of any engine or part with respect to the
Aircraft, (iii) all airworthiness directives applicable to the Aircraft issued by the FAA or similar regulatory agency having jurisdictional authority, and causing compliance to such directives
to be completed through corrective modification in lieu of operating manual restrictions, and (iv) all maintenance requirements set forth in Annex G hereto. Lessee shall maintain all records,
logs and other materials required by the manufacturer for enforcement of any warranties or by the FAA. All maintenance procedures required hereby shall be undertaken and completed in accordance with
the manufacturer's recommended procedures, and by properly trained, licensed, and certificated maintenance sources and maintenance personnel, so as to keep the Aircraft and each engine in as good
operating condition as when delivered to Lessee hereunder, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and so as to keep the Aircraft in such operating condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness
certification of such Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times under the FAA. 



        (c)  Lessee
agrees, at its own cost and expense, to (i) cause the Aircraft and each engine thereon to be kept numbered with the identification in serial number
therefor as specified in Annex A; (ii) prominently display on the Aircraft that N number, and only that N number, specified in Annex A; and (iii) notify Lessor in writing thirty

configuration, coloring or appearance in effect on the Commencement Date or, at Lessor's option to pay to Lessor an amount equal to the reasonable cost of such restoration. Lessee will not place the
Aircraft in operation or exercise any control or dominion over the same until such Aircraft marking has been 



4





 





placed thereon. Lessee will replace promptly any such Aircraft marking which may be removed, defaced or destroyed. 


        (d)  Lessee
shall be entitled from time to time during the Term of this Lease to acquire and install on the Aircraft at Lessee's expense, any additional accessory, device or

the Aircraft; (ii) is not required to render the Aircraft complete for its intended use by Lessee; (iii) does not alter or impair the originally intended function or use of the Aircraft;
and (iv) can be readily removed without causing material damage. Title to each Addition which is not removed by Lessee prior to the return of the Aircraft to Lessor shall vest in Lessor upon
such return. Lessee shall repair all damage to the Aircraft resulting from the installation or removal of any Addition so as to restore the Aircraft to its condition prior to installation, ordinary
wear and tear excepted. 


        (e)  Any
alteration or modification (each an "Alteration") with respect to the Aircraft that may at any time during the Term
of this Lease be required to comply with any applicable law or any governmental
rule or regulation shall be made at the expense of Lessee. Any repair made by Lessee of or upon the Aircraft or replacement parts, including any replacement engine, installed thereon in the course of
repairing or maintaining the Aircraft, or any Alteration required by law or any governmental rule or regulation, shall be deemed an accession, and title thereto shall be immediately vested in Lessor
without cost or expense to Lessor. 


        (f)    Except
as permitted under this Section 6, Lessee will not modify the Aircraft or affix or remove any accessory to the Aircraft leased hereunder. 


        (g)  If

accordance with the applicable Part 135 standards. 




7.    LIENS, SUBLEASE AND ASSIGNMENT:  



        (a)  LESSEE
SHALL NOT SELL, TRANSFER, ASSIGN OR ENCUMBER THE AIRCRAFT, ANY ENGINE OR ANY PART THEREOF, LESSOR'S TITLE OR ITS RIGHTS UNDER THIS LEASE. LESSEE SHALL NOT,
WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESSOR, SUBLET, CHARTER OR PART WITH POSSESSION OF THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY ENGINE OR PART THEREOF OR ENTER INTO ANY INTERCHANGE AGREEMENT. Lessee shall not permit any
engine to be used on any other Aircraft. Lessee shall keep the Aircraft each engine and any part thereof free and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than those which result from (i) the
respective rights of Lessor and Lessee as herein provided; (ii) liens arising from the acts of Lessor; (iii) liens for taxes not yet due; and (iv) inchoate materialmen's,
mechanics', workmen's, repairmen's, employees' or other like liens arising in the ordinary course of business of Lessee for sums not yet delinquent or being contested in good faith (and for the
payment of which adequate assurances in Lessor's judgment have been provided Lessor). 


        (b)  Lessor
and any assignee of Lessor may assign this Lease, or any part hereof and/or the Aircraft. Lessee hereby waives and agrees not to assert against any such assignee,
or assignee's assigns, any defense, set-off, recoupment claim or counterclaim which Lessee has or may at any time have against Lessor for any reason whatsoever. 




8.    LOSS, DAMAGE AND STIPULATED LOSS VALUE:    Lessee hereby assumes and shall bear the entire risk of any loss, theft,
confiscation, expropriation, requisition, damage to, or destruction of, the Aircraft, any engine or part thereof from any cause whatsoever, except to the extent such events directly result from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor. If for any reason the Aircraft, 


5





 


or any engine thereto becomes worn out, lost, stolen, confiscated, expropriated, requisitioned, destroyed, irreparably damaged, or unusable ("Casualty
Occurrences") Lessee shall promptly (but in no event beyond 10 days from the date of such Casualty Occurrence) and fully notify Lessor in writing. If, in the opinion of
Lessor, a Casualty Occurrence has occurred which affects only the engine(s) of the Aircraft, then Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall replace such engine(s) with an engine(s) acceptable to
Lessor and shall cause title to such engine(s) to be transferred to Lessor for lease to Lessee under this Lease. Upon transfer of title to Lessor of such engine(s), such engine(s) shall be subject to
the terms and conditions of this Lease, and Lessee shall execute whatever documents or filings Lessor deems necessary and appropriate in connection with the substitution of such replacement engine(s)
for the original engine(s). If, in the opinion of Lessor, a Casualty Occurrence has occurred with respect to the Aircraft in its entirety, on the next Rent Payment Date after a Casualty Occurrence
(the "Payment Date"), Lessee shall pay Lessor the sum of (i) the Stipulated Loss Value as set forth in Annex F calculated as of the Rent Payment
Date prior to such Casualty Occurrence; and (ii) all Rent and other amounts which are due under this Lease as of the Payment Date. Upon payment of all sums due hereunder, the Term of this Lease
as to the Aircraft shall terminate. 


9.    INSURANCE:    Lessee shall secure and maintain in effect at its own expense throughout the Term of the Lease insurance against
such hazards and for such risks as Lessor may require. All such insurance shall be with companies satisfactory to Lessor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessee shall maintain:
(i) liability insurance covering public liability and property, cargo and sudden accidental pollution coverage, in amounts not less than fifty million (50,000,000) United States dollars for any
single occurrence; (ii) all-risk aircraft hull and engine insurance (including, without limitation, with respect to engine or part thereof while removed from the aircraft and
foreign object damage insurance) in an amount which is not less than the then Stipulated Loss Value; and (iii) confiscation, expropriation and war risk and allied perils (including, without
limitation, terrorism) insurance and hijacking insurance in an amount which is (x) for physical damage, not less than the Stipulated Loss Value and (y) for liability coverage, not less
than fifty million (50,000,000) United States dollars for any single occurrence.    All insurance shall: (1) name Lessor as owner of the Aircraft and as loss payee and additional
insured (without responsibility for premiums), (2) provide that any cancellation or substantial change in coverage shall not be effective as to the Lessor for thirty (30) days after
receipt by Lessor of written notice from the insurer of such cancellation or change, (3) insure Lessor's interest regardless of any breach of warranty or other act or omission of Lessee,
(4) include a severability of interest clause providing that such policy shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured, (5) waive any right of
set-off against Lessee or Lessor, and any rights of subrogation against Lessor, and (6) be primary and not be subject to any offset by any other insurance carried by Lessor or
Lessee. Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact to make proof of loss and claim for and to receive payment of and to execute or endorse all documents, checks
or drafts in connection with all policies of insurance in respect of the Aircraft. Lessor shall not act as Lessees attorney-in-fact unless Lessee is in default. Lessee shall
pay any reasonable expenses of Lessor in adjusting or collecting insurance proceeds. Lessor may, at its option, apply proceeds of insurance, in whole or in part, to (A) repair the Aircraft, or
repair or replace any part thereof, or (B) satisfy any obligation of Lessee to Lessor under this Lease. The foregoing notwithstanding, to the extent no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, upon written notice from Lessee, Lessor shall follow Lessee's written direction regarding application of the proceeds of insurance, in whole or in part, to (A) repair the Aircraft,
or repair or replace any part thereof, or (B) satisfy any obligation of Lessee to Lessor under this Lease; provided, however, that Lessor shall
have no obligation to apply such insurance proceeds towards repair or replacement of the Aircraft or any part thereof, if Lessor determines, in its sole discretion, that any such repair or replacement
is not capable of being completed before the
expiration of the term of the Lease. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, Lessee shall have no right to direct the application of any such 


6





 





insurance proceeds. Any surplus of such insurance proceeds, shall, to the extent no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be paid by Lessor to Lessee. 


10.  RETURN OF AIRCRAFT:  



        (a)  Subject
to the other Sections of this Lease, at expiration or termination of this Lease (the "Return Date"), Lessee shall
return the Aircraft to Lessor, at a location within the continental United States as Lessor shall direct. Lessee shall also return all logs, loose equipment, manuals and data associated with the
Aircraft, including without limitation, inspection, modification and overhaul records required to be maintained with respect to the Aircraft under this Lease or under the applicable rules and
regulations of the FAA or the manufacturer's recommended maintenance program, along with a currently effective FAA airworthiness certificate. In addition, Lessee shall also return the Aircraft with
the Stage III Hush Kit attached thereto. Lessee shall, upon request, assign to Lessor its rights under any manufacturer's maintenance service contract or extended warranty for the Aircraft, any engine
or part thereof. The Aircraft shall be returned in the condition in which the Aircraft is required to be maintained pursuant to Section 6, but with all logos or other identifying marks of
Lessee removed. Additionally, Lessee shall ensure that the Aircraft complies with all requirements and conditions set forth on Annex G hereto. Lessee shall pay for all costs to comply with this
Section 10(a). 


        (b)  Lessor
shall arrange for the inspection of the Aircraft on the Return Date to determine if the Aircraft has been maintained and returned in accordance with the
provisions of this Lease. Lessee shall be responsible for the cost of such inspection and shall pay Lessor such amount as additional Rent within ten (10) days of demand. If the results of such
inspection indicate that the Aircraft, any engine thereto or part thereof, has not been maintained or returned in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor within ten
(10) days of demand, as liquidated damages, the estimated cost ("Estimated Cost") of servicing or repairing the Aircraft, engine or part. The
Estimated Cost shall be determined by Lessor by obtaining two quotes for such service or repair work and taking their average. Lessee shall bear the cost, if any, incurred by Lessor in obtaining such
quotes. 


        (c)  If
Lessee fails to return the Aircraft on the Return Date, Lessor shall be entitled to damages equal to the higher of (i) the Rent for the Aircraft,
pro-rated on a per diem basis, for each day the Aircraft is retained beyond the Return Date; or (ii) the daily fair market rental for the Aircraft at the Return Date. Such damages
for retention of the Aircraft after the Return Date shall not be interpreted as an extension or reinstatement of the Term. 



        (d)  All
of Lessor's rights contained in this Section shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease.

16.  OWNERSHIP FOR TAX PURPOSES; GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST; USURY SAVINGS:  



        (a)  It
is the intention of the parties that this Lease constitutes a financing by the Lessor to the Lessee and preserves the beneficial ownership of the Aircraft in Lessee.
For income tax, sales tax and personal property tax purposes, the parties hereto agree that it is their mutual intention that Lessee shall be considered the owner of the Aircraft. Accordingly, Lessor
agrees (i) to treat Lessee as the owner of the Aircraft on its federal income tax return, (ii) not to take actions or positions inconsistent with such treatment on or with respect to its
federal income tax return, and (iii) not to claim any tax benefits available to an owner of the Aircraft on or with respect o its federal income tax return. The foregoing undertakings by Lessor
shall not be violated by Lessor's taking a tax position inconsistent with the forgoing sentence to the extent such a position is required by law or is taken through inadvertence so long as such
inadvertent tax position is reversed by Lessor promptly upon its discovery. Lessor shall in no event be liable to Lessee if Lessee fails to secure any of the tax benefits available to the owner of the
Aircraft. 


        (b)  Lessee
hereby grants Lessor a first security interest in the Aircraft and the Engines, together with all equipment, avionics, accessories, substitutes, or replacement
parts, spare parts, appurtenances and appliances upon or within the Aircraft or attached thereto, whether or not furnished by the manufacturer or vendor of the Aircraft, including, without limitation,
all logs, manuals, and records pertaining to the construction, modification, inspection, repair and operation of the Airframe, or any Engine or part, and all insurance and other proceeds and products
of any of the foregoing, free and clear of all liens, security interests and/or encumbrances whatsoever. 


        (c)  It
is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with any applicable usury laws to the extent that this Lease is determined to be subject to such laws; accordingly,
it is agreed that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Lease, in no event shall the Lease require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount
permitted by applicable law. If any such excess
interest is contracted for, charged or received under the Lease, or in the event that all of the principal balance shall be prepaid, so that under any of such circumstances the amount of interest
contracted for, charged or received under the Lease shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, then in such event (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern
and control, (b) neither Lessee nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for any payment required hereunder shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent
that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, (c) any such excess which may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against the then unpaid
principal balance or refunded to Lessee, at the option of the Lessor, and (d) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under
applicable law as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction thereof. It is further agreed that without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest
contracted for, charged or received under the Lease which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful contract rate, shall be made, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, all interest at any time contracted
for, charged or received from Lessee or otherwise by Lessor in connection with such indebtedness; provided, however, that if any applicable state law is amended or the law of the United States of
America preempts any applicable state law, so that it becomes lawful for Lessor to receive a greater interest per annum rate than is presently allowed, the Lessee agrees that, on the effective date of
such amendment or preemption, as the case may be, the lawful maximum hereunder shall be increased to the maximum interest per annum rate allowed by the amended state law or the law of the United
States of America.

agents shall be permitted to bid.

all amounts due hereunder have been paid on the Termination Date, Lessor shall (i) sell the Aircraft on an AS IS BASIS for cash to the highest bidder; and
(ii) refund the proceeds of such sale
(net of any related expenses) to Lessee. If such sale is not consummated, no termination shall occur and Lessor shall refund the Termination Value (less any expenses incurred by Lessor) to Lessee.

the foregoing, Lessor may elect by written notice, at any time prior to the Termination Date, not to sell the Aircraft. In that event, on the Termination
Date Lessee shall: (i) return the Aircraft (in accordance with Section 10); and (ii) pay to Lessor all amounts required under Section 17(b) less the amount of the highest
bid certified by Lessee to Lessor.

the end of the Second Renewal Term, so long as this Agreement has not been earlier terminated, Lessee shall exercise one of the following options: 



        (1)    Extension Option:    Renew the Term of the Lease for an additional term of twelve (12) months (the
"Extension Term") at a monthly rental amount to be paid in arrears on the same day of each month on which the Basic Term Rent was paid, and calculated
as the product of (i) the Capitalized Lessor's Cost, times (ii) a lease rate factor calculated by Lessor, which when so multiplied times the Capitalized Lessor's Cost, will result in a
product that is equal to the amount necessary to fully repay to Lessor any Unamortized Principal Balance (as specified on the Amortization Table attached as Schedule 1 to Annex
B) (determined as of the Second Renewal Term expiration date) together with interest thereon at the Extension Term Interest Rate (specified on Annex B), in twelve (12) equal monthly

including, without limitation, the obligation to continue paying rent. 




        (d)  If
at the expiration of the Basic Term, the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, as the case may be, Lessee elects to return the Aircraft to Lessor, then
Lessee shall immediately return the Aircraft to Lessor in the condition and manner required by Section 10 and otherwise under this Lease and pay to Lessor in cash an amount equal to the

("Interim Period"), Lessee shall pay as Rent ("Interim Rent") for each unit of 


20





 




Aircraft, the product of the Daily Lease Rate Factor times the Capitalized Lessor's Cost of such unit times the number of days in the Interim Period. Interim Rent shall be due on February 01, 2002. 


        2.    Basic Term and Renewal Term Rent.    Commencing on February 01, 2002, and on the same day of each month
thereafter (each, a "Rent Payment Date") during the Basic Term ("Basic Term Rent") and each of the First
and Second Renewal Terms, as applicable ("Renewal Term Rent"), Lessee shall pay as Rent monthly installments of principal in arrears, each installment
in the principal amount specified on the Amortization Table attached to this Annex B as Schedule 1, together with interest on the Unamortized Principal Balance as of the immediately preceding
Rent Payment Date (after application of the Rent paid on such date) at the Interest Rate for the Interest Period following such immediately preceding Rent Payment Date. Interest shall be calculated on
the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Said Rent consists of principal and interest components, such principal components being as provided in the Amortization Table
attached to this Annex B as Schedule 1. 


        As
used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 


        "Interest Period" shall mean the period beginning on the Lease Commencement Date to and including the last day of the month immediately
preceding the first Rent Payment Date; and thereafter from the first day of the month that includes the most recent Rent Payment Date to and including the last day of the month immediately preceding
the subsequent Rent Payment Date. 



        "Interest Rate" shall mean that percentage per annum calculated as the sum of (a) the LIBOR Rate redetermined monthly, plus
(b) three hundred twenty-five (325) basis points. 


        "LIBOR Rate" shall mean, with respect to any Interest Period occurring during the term of the Lease, an interest rate per annum equal at
all times during such Interest Period to the quotient of (1) the rate per annum as determined by Lessor at which deposits of U.S. Dollars in immediately available and freely transferable funds
are offered at 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) two (2) Business Days before the commencement of such Interest Period to major banks in the London interbank market for a period of
ninety (90) days and in an amount equal or comparable to the Unamortized Principal Balance, divided by (2) a number equal to 1.00 minus the aggregate (without duplication) of the rates
(expressed as a decimal fraction) of the LIBOR Reserve Requirements current on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the first day of the Interest Period. 


        "LIBOR Reserve Requirements" shall mean the daily average for the applicable Interest Period of the maximum rate applicable to Lessor or
its participants or assignees, if any, at which reserves (including, without limitation, any supplemental, marginal and emergency reserves) are imposed during such Interest Period by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) on "Eurocurrency liabilities", as defined in such Board's Regulation D (or in respect of any other category of liabilities that
include deposits by reference to which the interest rates on Eurodollar loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets that include loans by non-United States
offices of any lender to United States residents), having a term equal to such Interest Period, subject to any amendments of such reserve requirement by such Board or its successor, taking into
account any transitional adjustments thereto. 


        If
at any time Lessor (or any participant or assignee of Lessor, if any), determines that either adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, or it becomes
impractical for Lessor or any such participant or assignee of Lessor, to obtain funds to make or maintain the financing hereunder with interest at the LIBOR Rate, or Lessor or any such participant or
assignee of Lessor shall have determined that the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lessor or any such participant or assignee of Lessor,of making, maintaining, or funding
the transaction hereunder at the LIBOR Rate, or Lessor or any such participant or assignee of Lessor reasonably determines that, as a result of changes to applicable law after the date of execution of
the 


21





 




Agreement, or the adoption or making after such date of any interpretations, directives or regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any court, governmental authority or reserve bank
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, it shall be or become unlawful or impossible to make, maintain, or fund the transaction hereunder at the LIBOR Rate, then Lessor promptly
shall give notice to Lessee of such determination, and Lessor and Lessee shall negotiate in good faith a mutually acceptable alternative method of calculating the Interest Rate and shall execute and
deliver such documents as reasonably may be required to incorporate such alternative method of calculating the Interest Rate in this Schedule, within thirty (30) days after the date of Lessor's
notice to Lessee. If the parties are unable mutually to agree to such alternative method of calculating the Interest Rate in a timely fashion, on the Rent Payment Date next succeeding the expiration
of such thirty (30) day period Lessee shall purchase all (but not less than all) of the Aircraft and shall pay to Lessor, in cash, the purchase price for the Aircraft so purchased, determined
as hereinafter provided. The purchase price of the Aircraft shall be an amount equal to the Stipulated Loss Value of such Aircraft calculated in accordance with Annex F as of the date of payment,
together with all rent and other sums then due on such date, plus all taxes and charges upon sale and all other reasonable and documented expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with such sale. Upon
satisfaction of the conditions specified in this paragraph, Lessor will transfer, on an AS IS BASIS, all of Lessor's interest in and to the Aircraft. Lessor shall not be required to make and may
specifically disclaim any representation or warranty as to the condition of the Aircraft and other matters. Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in this paragraph, Lessor shall execute and
deliver to Lessee such Uniform Commercial Code statements of termination as reasonably may be required in order to terminate any interest of Lessor in and to the Aircraft. 


        3.    If
the Interim Rent Payment Date or any Rent Payment Date is not a Business Day, the Rent otherwise due on such date shall be payable on the immediately preceding
Business Day. As used herein, "Business Day" shall mean any day other than Saturday, Sunday, and any day on which banking institutions located in the State of Connecticut are authorized by law or
other governmental action to close. 


D.    [INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]
