FACILITY AGREEMENT [Hawaiian A330 [1259]]

 

THIS FACILITY AGREEMENT [Hawaiian A330 [1259]] (this “Agreement”) dated as of June 29, 2011 among (i) Hawaiian Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), (ii) each Loan Participant identified on Schedule I hereto (collectively, together with their successors and permitted assigns, the “Loan Participants”) and (iii) Bank of Utah, as Security Trustee hereunder (together with its successors hereunder in such capacity, the “Security Trustee”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, certain terms are used herein as defined in Section 1 hereof; and

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower will be acquiring a certain Airbus A330-200 aircraft from the manufacturer thereof and intends to finance the payment of the purchase price therefor with, among other things, the proceeds of the loans to be made by the Loan Participants hereunder; and

 

WHEREAS, the Loan Participants are willing to make such loans on the terms and conditions provided here, including the granting to the Security Trustee of a mortgage lien on the Designated Aircraft contemporaneously with the acquisition thereof pursuant to the Mortgage and Security Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto (prior to its execution and delivery, in the form of such Exhibit and, thereafter as executed and delivered (and thereafter supplemented), the “Mortgage”).

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1            Certain Definitions.

 

Except as otherwise defined in this Agreement, including its annexes, schedules and exhibits, terms used herein in capitalized form shall have the meanings attributed thereto in Appendix X to the Mortgage, and the rules of usage specified therein shall be applicable to this Agreement.  In addition, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

“Adjusted Applicable Margin” means, [**].

 

“Applicable Margin” shall be [**].

 

“Commitment Termination Date” shall be [**].

 

“Designated Aircraft” means the Airbus A330-200 aircraft bearing manufacturer’s serial number 1259 and FAA registration No. N384HA, being delivered to the Borrower under the

 




[**] — Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions.  The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 











 

Aircraft Purchase Agreement.  From and after the Delivery Date of such aircraft, the term “Designated Aircraft” shall mean the “Aircraft” as defined in the Mortgage.

 

“Obsolete Part Amount” means [**].

 

“Participation Percentage” means, for any Loan Participant, and for the Designated Aircraft, the percentage set forth next to the name of such Loan Participant for the Designated Aircraft on Schedule II hereto, which percentage shall be applicable to each Tranche.

 

SECTION 2            The Loan; Borrower’s Notice of Delivery Dates; Closing Procedure.

 

(a)           Commitment; Loan Certificates; Special Funding Elections.

 

(i)            Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Loan Participants severally agree to make secured loans (the “Loans”) to the Borrower in respect of the Designated Aircraft on a date to be designated pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) hereof, but in no event later than the Commitment Termination Date, in two tranches (each, a “Tranche”): (i) one tranche in an aggregate principal amount of $[**] (the “Tranche 1 Loan”) and (ii) one tranche in an aggregate principal amount of $[**] (the “Tranche 2 Loan”). The aggregate original principal amount of the Loans shall be $67,000,000.  Each Loan Participant’s funding obligation in respect of any Tranche shall be its Participation Percentage of the amount thereof (respectively, its “Tranche 1 Commitment” and its “Tranche 2 Commitment”). Each Loan Participant shall receive, as evidence of the Tranche 1 Loan and Tranche 2 Loan made by it, a Loan Certificate(s) of the applicable Type and Tranche in the amount of such Loan.

 

(ii)           The Loan Certificates shall be issued by reference to a particular “Type” and “Tranche”.  The “Type” of any Loan Certificate, designated as “Type A” or “Type B”, shall indicate whether such Loan Certificate is held by a Type A Loan Participant or a Type B Loan Participant.  The “Tranche” of any Loan Certificate, designated as “Tranche 1” or “Tranche 2”, shall indicate whether such Loan Certificate is issued in respect of a Tranche 1 Loan or a Tranche 2 Loan.  The Type and Tranche of a Loan Certificate shall be indicated on the face of such Loan Certificate.  Each Loan and the related Commitment may be designated as being of the Type and Tranche of its related Loan Certificates.

 

(iii)          Schedule I hereto sets out the Type of Loan Certificates that each Loan Participant has irrevocably elected to receive on behalf of itself and its successors and permitted assigns.  Any Loan Certificate initially issued to a Type A Loan Participant shall be and remain a Type A Loan Certificate, and any Loan Certificate initially issued to a Type B Loan Participant shall be and remain a Type B Loan Certificate, in each case, regardless of the Holder thereof.  A Loan Certificate, once issued as a particular Type, shall only be transferred, assigned and/or reissued as such Type, entitling its Holder to the

2











 

rights, and subjecting such Holder to the obligations, applicable to such Type only, as further set forth herein.

 

(b)           Funding Procedures.

 

(i)            In connection with the financing of the Designated Aircraft hereunder, the Borrower agrees (subject to Section 2(b)(viii) hereof) to give the Loan Participants at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (which notice, to be effective on any Business Day, must be received no later than 11:00 a.m. New York time) of the anticipated Delivery Date for the Designated Aircraft (the “Funding Date”), which date shall be a Business Day not later than the Commitment Termination Date, and which notice shall be in substantially the form of the Notice of Borrowing attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Borrowing”).  The Notice of Borrowing shall if desired by the Borrower, identify whether the Borrower elects a Fixed Rate to be applicable to the related Loan.

 

(ii)           In order to facilitate the timely closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Borrower, by delivery of the Notice of Borrowing to the Loan Participants, irrevocably instructs the Loan Participants to: (A) wire transfer (for receipt by no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time) on the Funding Date its Commitment for the Designated Aircraft by the wiring of immediately available funds (reference: Hawaiian Airlines A330-200 MSN 1259) to the account of the Security Trustee specified on Schedule I (the “Account”); (B) in the case of any Type A Loan Participant, enter into arrangements to establish its Liquidity Margin for the related Loan (if it has not already done so) and notify the Borrower thereof no later than one Business Day prior to the Funding Date; and (C) if the Borrower shall have elected a Fixed Rate, enter into a Hedge Transaction on the terms set forth herein for its portion of the Loan (if it has not already done so).

 

(iii)          The funds so paid by each such Loan Participant (the “Deposit”) into the Account are to be held by the Security Trustee for account of such Loan Participant.  Subject to paragraph (vi) below, upon the satisfaction (as determined by each Loan Participant) of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 hereof, such Loan Participant (or its special counsel acting on its behalf) shall instruct the Security Trustee to disburse the Deposit for application of its Commitment for the Designated Aircraft in the financing as contemplated by Section 2(c) hereof.

 

(iv)          If, for any reason, the Designated Aircraft to be financed hereunder on its Funding Date shall not be so financed, the Deposit and earnings thereon, will be invested and reinvested by the Security Trustee at the sole direction, for the account, and at the risk of the Borrower in an overnight investment selected by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Loan Participants and the Security Trustee.  Upon the Borrower’s oral (to be confirmed in writing) instructions, earnings on any such

 




[**] — Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions.  The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

3











 

investments shall be applied to the Borrower’s payment obligations to each Loan Participant under this Section 2(b) to the extent of such earnings.

 

(v)           If the actual Delivery Date for the Designated Aircraft is a date falling after the Funding Date, the Borrower shall pay interest hereunder to each Loan Participant on the amount of its Deposit for the period from and including the Funding Date to but excluding the earlier of (A) the Delivery Date for the Designated Aircraft or (B) the Cutoff Date (as defined below).  For each Loan Participant, such interest shall accrue on the amount of such Loan Participant’s Commitment at the Applicable Rate established for the Loan.  Interest on the Commitments accrued pursuant to the preceding sentence shall (I) if accrued to the Delivery Date for the Designated Aircraft, be paid on the first Interest Payment Date and (II) if accrued to the Cutoff Date, be due and payable to each Loan Participant on such date.

 

(vi)          If for any reason, other than the failure of any Loan Participant to comply with the terms hereof, the Delivery Date for the Designated Aircraft shall not have occurred on or prior to [**] after the Funding Date (the “Cutoff Date”), the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that such Loan Participant may (and upon the written instruction of the Borrower, given any time during the period from the Funding Date to the Cutoff Date, shall) cancel, terminate or otherwise unwind its funding arrangements made in the London interbank market or otherwise to fund its Commitment on the Funding Date (including, for any Type A Loan Participant, its related liquidity arrangements) and, if applicable, such Loan Participant may cancel, terminate or otherwise unwind the related Hedge Transaction, and such Loan Participant may notify the Security Trustee thereof, and the Security Trustee shall return its Commitment for the Designated Aircraft to it, subject, however, to such Loan Participant’s continuing commitment to fund its Commitment as provided herein.

 

(vii)         In the event of the occurrence of the events described in paragraph (vi) above, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly (but in any event within [**] after the relevant Cutoff Date) any Break Amount incurred by the relevant Loan Participant (for which purpose such Loan Participant shall be deemed to have the amount of its Commitment prepaid as a funded Loan).

 

(viii)        If funds have been returned to the Loan Participants pursuant to this Section 2(b), the Borrower may schedule a new Funding Date on any date prior to the Commitment Termination Date by giving a new Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2(b)(i), and the provisions of this Section 2(b) shall be applicable to such new Funding Date, including, without limitation, the right to fix the interest rate in accordance with Section 3(b)(ii).  If any Loan Participant shall fail to fund its Commitment, the Borrower shall be under no obligation to borrow any portion of the Loan (though the Borrower shall, for the avoidance of doubt, have the right to borrow any portion of the Loan funded, subject to fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 or

 




[**] — Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions.  The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

the waiver thereof by the Loan Participants who have funded their Commitments) but shall be obligated to pay Break Amount and interest with respect to any amounts so funded by the Loan Participants but not borrowed by the Borrower hereunder.

 

(c)           Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and immediately prior to the transfer of title to the Designated Aircraft to the Borrower, the Borrower shall authorize the delivery and filing for record at the FAA of the Mortgage and/or the Mortgage Supplement for the Designated Aircraft once title to the Designated Aircraft shall have transferred to the Borrower.  On the Delivery Date for the Designated Aircraft specified in the Borrower’s notice referred to in Section 2(b)(i), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Loan Participant agrees, and hereby directs the Security Trustee, to pay the amount of its Commitment for the Aircraft to the Borrower by wire transferring such amounts to the Aircraft Manufacturer’s account identified by the Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing, or to such other account as the Borrower shall direct the Security Trustee in writing, immediately prior to the transfer of title to the Designated Aircraft to the Borrower.

 

(d)           On or prior to the Funding Date, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (i) in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 8.06 or 8.07 of the Mortgage, the Commitments shall automatically terminate (without any notice or other act by the Security Trustee or any Loan Participant) and (ii) in the case of any other Event of Default (and following the expiration of any applicable grace period therefor), the Security Trustee, acting on instruction of the Majority in Interest of Holders, may terminate the Commitments by notifying the Borrower thereof, whereupon, in the case of a Type A Loan Participant, Liquidity Break Amount, if any, shall be payable as provided in Section 3(c)(ii).

 

(e)           The closing with respect to the financing of the Designated Aircraft shall take place at the offices of Vedder Price P.C., 1633 Broadway, New York, New York 10019.

 

SECTION 3            Loan Economics.

 

(a)           Principal Amortization.

 

(i)            Tranche 1 Loans.  The Tranche 1 Loans shall amortize, and Annex A for the Loan Certificates for the Tranche 1 Loans (and the related Schedule 1 of the Mortgage Supplement for the Designated Aircraft) shall be calculated, based on a mortgage-style (level payments of principal and interest) methodology utilizing an assumed interest rate of [**] per annum (the “Benchmark Rate”) for the Loan Certificates, with the original principal amount thereof amortizing [**] on a quarterly basis in arrears on each Interest Payment Date (the first such amortizing payment to be made on the first Interest Payment Date next following the Funding Date (or Projected Funding Date, if applicable in accordance with this Section 3(a)) and the final such installment falling due on the [**]) following the Funding Date (or Projected Funding Date, if applicable in accordance with this Section 3(a)).  The Loan Participants and the

 




[**] — Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions.  The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

5











 

Borrower agree that the aggregate principal amount of each such installment shall be as set forth on the amortization schedule attached as Schedule 3(a)(i) hereto.

 

(ii)           Tranche 2 Loans.  The Tranche 2 Loans shall amortize, and Annex A for the Loan Certificates for the Tranche 2 Loans (and the related Schedule 2 of the Mortgage Supplement for the Designated Aircraft) shall be calculated, based on a mortgage-style (level payments of principal and interest) methodology utilizing the Benchmark Rate for the Loan Certificates, with the original principal amount thereof amortizing [**] on a quarterly basis in arrears on each Interest Payment Date (the first such amortizing payment to be made on the first Interest Payment Date next following the Funding Date (or Projected Funding Date, if applicable in accordance with this Section 3(a)) and the final such installment (i.e., the balloon) falling due on the [**] following the Funding Date (or Projected Funding Date, if applicable in accordance with this Section 3(a)).  The Loan Participants and the Borrower agree that the aggregate principal amount of each such installment shall be as set forth on the amortization schedule attached as Schedule 3(a)(ii) hereto.

 

The Loan Participants shall determine the Annex A for the Loan Certificates of each Tranche (and the related Schedules 1 and 2 of the Mortgage Supplement for the Designated Aircraft) on the basis specified in this Section 3(a) and shall confirm such proposed schedules with the Borrower.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Funding Date occurs after the Projected Funding Date such that amortization will be calculated from the Projected Funding Date, all payments of principal and interest shall be made solely in respect of periods commencing on the Funding Date and no interest shall accrue on the Loans until from and after the Funding Date.

 

(b)           Interest.  The Borrower shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3(b), have the right to elect that the Loan bear interest either at a Floating Rate or a Fixed Rate.

 

(i)            Floating Rate.  If the Borrower shall not have notified the Loan Participants of its request, pursuant to (A) the Notice of Borrowing or (B) the Fixed Rate Notice in accordance with paragraph (ii) below, to have the Loan bear interest at a fixed rate, then the Applicable Rate for the Loan and related Loan Certificates shall be, for each Interest Period, the Floating Rate for such Interest Period.  Interest on each Loan payable by reference to the Floating Rate shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual number of days elapsed.

 

(ii)           Fixed Rate Setting.  The Borrower may notify the Loan Participants of its request, pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing or at any time before the date that is six months after the Funding Date, for the Loan in respect of the Designated Aircraft to bear interest at a fixed rate (a “Fixed Rate Notice”), which Fixed Rate (as

defined below) shall be fixed two Business Days prior to its effective date (the “Hedge Effective Date”).  Upon delivery by the Borrower of a Fixed Rate Notice to the Loan Participants, the following procedures shall apply to determine the “Fixed Rate”:

 

(1)           In the case of a Fixed Rate Notice delivered pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing, no later than 10:00 a.m. (but no earlier than 9:00 a.m.) New York time on the second Business Day prior to the Funding Date, the Loan Participants and the Borrower shall convene a conference call during which the Loan Participants will notify the Borrower of a single fixed rate of interest (without giving effect to the Applicable Margin) to be used as the basis for the calculation of the Fixed Rate for the Loan; such rate, and any other such interest rate quoted by the Loan Participants pursuant to this Section 3(b)(ii)(1) being referred to as a “Rate Quote”.  Each Rate Quote shall be agreed to by each Loan Participant and shall be quoted on a market basis as the fixed rate equivalent (calculated on a bond basis) of the Loan had the Loan been priced on the basis of the LIBOR Rate (flat) (giving effect to the anticipated amortization, maturity and Hedge Effective Date of such Loan).  The Borrower may accept or reject any such Rate Quote.  If the Borrower rejects the Rate Quote, the Loan will initially bear interest at the Floating Rate.  If the Borrower accepts such Rate Quote, the Loan Participants will advise as whether such Rate Quote is still available.  If the Loan Parties advise that it is still available, then such Rate Quote shall serve as the basis for establishing the Fixed Rate.  If such Rate Quote is not available any longer, at the request of the Borrower, the Loan Participants will furnish another Rate Quote and the above procedures will be utilized until a Rate Quote has been rejected or an accepted Rate Quote is determined by the Loan Participants to be available; provided that the Loan Participants shall not be obligated to quote more than five Rate Quotes in respect of any Fixed Rate Notice.  If the Borrower accepts any Rate Quote (by providing oral confirmation during the applicable telephone call) during such time period and such Rate Quote is advised by the Loan Participants as remaining available, such acceptance shall be binding on the Borrower, and shall be reflected on the Mortgage Supplement as provided therein.  In the event any such Rate Quote is so accepted by the Borrower, such Rate Quote plus the Adjusted Applicable Margin applicable to any Type and Tranche of the Loan shall be the “Fixed Rate” for such Type and Tranche of the Loan (subject to adjustment for the Liquidity Margin in the case of Type A Loans), effective on the Hedge Effective Date. If the Borrower does not accept any Rate Quote in accordance with the terms of this Section 3(b)(ii)(1), the Loan shall be initially funded as a Floating Rate Loan.

 

(2)           If the Loan is initially funded as a Floating Rate Loan, regardless of whether the Borrower requested a Rate Quote in the Notice of Borrowing, at any time within six months of the Funding Date, the Borrower may request that the Loan be converted into a Fixed Rate Loan so as to bear interest at

 




[**] — Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions.  The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

a fixed rate effective on any Interest Payment Date or the fifth Business Day after the Borrower’s delivery of the Fixed Rate Notice (the “Fixed Rate Conversion Date”), in each case, as the Borrower may designate in the Fixed Rate Notice and so long as the Fixed Rate Conversion Date occurs on or before the last day of such six month period (the “Fixed Rate Conversion Option”).  In order to exercise the Fixed Rate Conversion Option, subject to the other terms of this subparagraph (2), the Borrower shall furnish to the Loan Participants a Fixed Rate Notice of such exercise no later than five Business Days prior to the intended Fixed Rate Conversion Date.  No later than 10:00 a.m. (but no earlier than 9:00 a.m.) New York time on the third Business Day prior to the Fixed Rate Conversion Date, the Loan Participants and the Borrower shall convene a conference call during which the Loan Participants will notify the Borrower of a single fixed rate of interest (without giving effect to the Applicable Margin) to be used as the basis for the calculation of the Fixed Rate for the Loan; such rate, and any other such interest rate quoted by the Loan Participants pursuant to this Section 3(b)(ii)(2) being referred to as a “Conversion Rate Quote”.  Each Conversion Rate Quote shall be agreed to by each Loan Participant and shall be quoted on a market basis as the fixed rate equivalent (calculated on a bond basis) of the Loan had the Loan been priced on the basis of the LIBOR Rate (flat) (giving effect to the amortization, maturity and Fixed Rate Conversion Date of such Loan).  The Borrower may accept or reject any such Conversion Rate Quote.  If the Borrower rejects the Conversion Rate Quote, the Loan will continue to bear interest at the Floating Rate.  If the Borrower accepts such Conversion Rate Quote, the Loan Participants will advise as whether such Conversion Rate Quote is still available.  If the Loan Parties advise that it is still available, then such Conversion Rate Quote shall serve as the basis for establishing the Fixed Rate.  If such Conversion Rate Quote is not available any longer, at the request of the Borrower, the Loan Participants will furnish another Conversion Rate Quote and the above procedures will be utilized until a Conversion Rate Quote has been rejected or an accepted Conversion Rate Quote is determined by the Loan Participants to be available; provided that the Loan Participants shall not be obligated to quote more than five Conversion Rate Quotes in respect of any Fixed Rate Notice.  If the Borrower accepts any Conversion Rate Quote (by providing oral confirmation during the applicable telephone call) during such time period and such Conversion Rate Quote is advised by the Loan Participants as remaining available, such acceptance shall be binding on the Borrower and such Conversion Rate Quote shall be promptly confirmed to the Borrower in writing by the Loan Participants.  In the event any such Conversion Rate Quote is so accepted by the Borrower, such Conversion Rate Quote plus the Adjusted Applicable Margin applicable to any Type and Tranche of the Loan shall be the “Fixed Rate” for such Type and Tranche of the Loan (subject to adjustment for the Liquidity Margin in the case of Type A Loans), effective on the Fixed Rate Conversion Date, and the Borrower and the Security Trustee shall execute and deliver a supplement to the Mortgage

specifying the Fixed Rate applicable to each Tranche and Type of Loan Certificates; provided that if the Fixed Rate Conversion Date is not an Interest Payment Date, the Borrower shall compensate each Loan Participant for any LIBOR Break Amount.  If the Borrower does not accept any Conversion Rate Quote in accordance with the terms of this Section 3(b)(ii)(2), the Loan shall remain a Floating Rate Loan. No Fixed Rate Notice may be furnished if a Special Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

(3)           For the avoidance of doubt, the Fixed Rate applicable to the Type A Loans and the Type B Loans will vary as a consequence of the different Applicable Margin applicable to each Type.  In addition, insofar as the Liquidity Margin will be different for each Tranche of Type A Loans, the Fixed Rate for the different Tranches of Type A Loan will vary.

 

(4)           The Borrower understands and acknowledges that in order to provide any Fixed Rate the Loan Participants may be entering into one or more interest rate swaps or other hedging transactions (which may be effected internally or externally), and that it has assessed the risks (including but not limited to risks in relation to any Hedge Breakage Loss), benefits and consequences of obtaining a fixed interest so as to procure a fixed rate funding. The Borrower confirms that it is solely responsible for any decision to select a Fixed Rate, having relied on its own independent business judgment and advisers in connection with the Agreement.

 

(iii)          Fixed Rate.  If the Applicable Rate for the Loan Certificates and the Loan is a Fixed Rate:

 

(1)           Interest on the Loan shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of 12 30-day months.

 

(2)           The Fixed Rate on a Fixed Rate Loan shall be subject to adjustment as provided in clause (v) below.

 

(3)           On the date of (i) any prepayment of Loan Certificates pursuant to the Mortgage or (ii) any acceleration of Loan Certificates pursuant to the Mortgage, the Borrower will request that each Loan Participant advise the Security Trustee and the Borrower by 11:00 a.m., New York time, on such date of the Hedge Break Amount applicable to such event.

 

(4)           Each Loan Participant agrees that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, it shall promptly pay to the Borrower at such account as the Borrower may specify any Hedge Breakage Gain in respect of the Loan Certificates (or its related Commitment), except that it may

first deduct therefrom any amounts then due and owing to it or the other Loan Participants under the Operative Documents and apply any amount so retained to the satisfaction thereof.  Each Holder may retain any Hedge Breakage Gain that arises after the occurrence of an Event of Default as security for the obligations of the Borrower until the earlier of (i) the date that such Event of Default is cured by the Borrower, promptly following which date such amount shall be paid over to the Borrower, or (ii) the date that Section 9.07 of the Mortgage shall be applicable, promptly following which date such amounts shall be remitted to the Security Trustee for application as provided in such Section 9.07.  For the avoidance of doubt, Hedge Breakage Gains, if any, shall be due and payable to the Borrower on the date that at any Break Amount is otherwise due and payable to the Loan Participants.

 

(5)           Upon the request of the Borrower, each Loan Participant shall provide a good faith written estimate of the Hedge Breakage Loss or Hedge Breakage Gain, as the case may be, in connection with the occurrence, or anticipated occurrence, of any event contemplated by the Operative Documents that might give rise to an obligation to pay Hedge Breakage Loss or to receive Hedge Breakage Gain.

 

(6)           Upon determination by a Loan Participant of any Hedge Breakage Loss or Hedge Breakage Gain payable to or by it, as the case may be, such Loan Participant will provide to the Borrower a certificate, certifying such Hedge Breakage Loss or Hedge Breakage Gain, which certified amount shall be determined in accordance with the procedures set out in the definition of “Hedge Break Amount”.

 

(iv)          Margin Adjustment.

 

(1)           The Applicable Margin is subject to adjustment for each Loan Participant to preserve such Loan Participant’s net return on capital based on its internal risk models if and to the extent the Aircraft is reregistered outside of an Approved Country (as defined below) and the resulting security package fails to provide (i) to the Security Trustee the same degree and quality of security as available under the law of an Approved Country and (ii) to such Loan Participant the Basel II treatment and the Basel III treatment (each as internally determined in good faith by such Loan Participant) required to support the internal risk “score” or “risk-model” pricing allowance afforded by such resulting security package.  Any determination of a need for such an adjustment shall be communicated to the Security Trustee and the Borrower promptly following notice by the Borrower of any such reregistration (either proposed or actual) and shall be effective immediately upon such reregistration.  The determination of any such adjustment by a Loan Participant (including as to its internal modeling and

Basel II and/or Basel III application) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Any such adjustment may be to increase or to decrease the Applicable Margin, and the Loan Participants agree to recalculate any applicable adjustment at the time of any reregistration; provided that the Applicable Margin shall automatically revert to the original “Applicable Margin” hereunder in the event the Designated Aircraft is reregistered in an Approved Country.  “Approved Country” means the United States.

 

(2)           A Loan Participant intending to make a claim for an Applicable Margin adjustment pursuant to Section 3(b)(iv)(1) shall, within 30 days after receipt of written notice of any proposed or actual reregistration, provide written notice to the Security Trustee and the Borrower in writing of the event by reason of which it is entitled to do so (the “Adjustment Notice”); provided, that: (x) the Adjustment Notice shall describe the events giving rise to such adjustment, the basis for determining such adjustment and the amount thereof, together with a statement that the determinations made in respect of such adjustment comply with the provisions of this Section 3(b)(iv); and (y) such Loan Participant shall not be required to disclose any confidential information relating to the organization of its affairs, or its capital structure or return on capital.

 

(v)           Fixed Rate Adjustment.  If the Loan Certificates and the Loan shall bear interest at a Fixed Rate, such rate shall be as provided in the definition of Fixed Rate, adjusted automatically by the amount of any increase or decrease of the Applicable Margin as determined pursuant to clause (iv) above (adjusted for bond basis).  Any adjustment effected by the preceding sentence shall be calculated by the Loan Participants, shall be notified promptly to the Security Trustee and the Borrower, and such calculation shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(vi)          Past Due Interest.  Overdue payments of principal of any Tranche and Type of Loan (and to the extent permitted by applicable law, past due payments of interest and other amounts due under the Operative Documents) shall bear interest at the Past Due Rate, payable on demand.

 

(c)           Liquidity Costs.

 

(i)            [**].

 

(ii)           [**].

 

(d)           Structuring Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to, or for account of, the Underwriters the structuring fee as specified in the Structuring Fee Letter.

(e)                                  Commitment Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay a commitment fee to the Underwriters and their permitted transferees in the amounts, on the dates and subject to the conditions as set forth in the Fee Letter.

 

(f)                                    Security Trustee Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Security Trustee the up-front and annual fee of the Security Trustee as separately agreed between the Borrower and the Security Trustee.

 

(g)                                 LIBOR Break Amounts.  The Borrower shall compensate each Loan Participant, upon written request by that Loan Participant (which written request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), for all LIBOR Break Amount (as defined below) incurred or deemed incurred by such Loan Participant as a result of:

 

(i)                                     funding, or making arrangements to fund, its participation in the Loan requested by the Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing but not made for any reason (other than by reason of default by that Loan Participant alone);

 

(ii)                                  the Loan (or part of the Loan) being repaid on a date other than an Interest Payment Date; or

 

(iii)                               the Loan (or part of the Loan) not being prepaid in accordance with a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

 

For the purpose of this Agreement, “LIBOR Break Amount” hereunder shall be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan Participant’s Loan in respect of the Designated Aircraft (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for the Loan that would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable LIBOR rate over (ii) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of the amount the applicable Loan Participant would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such Loan Participant).  For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of LIBOR Break Amount shall not include any compensation for lost margin or profit.

 

(h)                                 Liquidity Break Amount.

 

(i)                                     Subject to Section 3(i) below, the Borrower shall compensate each [**].  For the purpose of this Agreement, [**] hereunder shall be equal to the cumulative amount of the present values of the interest amount for each (whole or partial) Interest Period relating to such Tranche as to which a Liquidity Margin applies and which succeeds the date of such Liquidity Event, calculated at a per annum rate equal to the

Liquidity Reserve Differential that would have accrued and been payable on the last day of such Interest Period on the amount so prepaid or Commitment cancelled in respect of such Tranche through the Maturity Date for such Tranche (taking into account (A) in the case of prepayment in full of the Loan, the scheduled amortization of the Loan in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof, and (B) in the case of a partial prepayment of the Loan, the application of such partial prepayments of the Loan in the inverse order of maturity).  The present value factor used in the making of the calculation required in the immediately preceding sentence shall be the interest rate customarily utilized by the Treasury (or comparable) desk of the applicable [**] for such purpose.  Any calculation by an affected [**] of Liquidity Break Amount, including the Liquidity Reserve Differential, shall be conclusive (and without the necessity for such [**] to disclose the manner or inputs for its determining the same); provided, that each affected [**] will furnish to the Borrower a certificate stating that Liquidity Break Amount has been incurred and listing the Liquidity Break Amount.  The delivery of such certificate shall be deemed a certification by such [**] that the determinants for calculating the Liquidity Reserve Differential were based on its Treasury (or comparable) desk’s assessed liquidity costs as at the applicable dates and that the calculation thereof was made on a non-discriminatory basis and in accordance with this provision and the definition of Liquidity Reserve Differential; there will be no further calculation or disclosure of refinancing practice in order to evidence or verify the actual liquidity breakage losses.  If the Liquidity Reserve Differential is a negative number, then neither the [**] nor the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Section 3(h).  Interest calculated as aforesaid shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual number of days elapsed.  As amongst the [**], insofar as the Liquidity Break Amount is calculated on the weighted average of their individual Liquidity Margins, the Liquidity Break Amount payable to each [**] shall be paid to them on the basis of their individual Liquidity Margins, and the Security Trustee agrees to make payments on account of the Liquidity Break Amount to each [**] accordingly.

 

(ii)                                  On the date of (A) any prepayment of Loan Certificates pursuant to the Mortgage or (B) any acceleration of Loan Certificates pursuant to the Mortgage, the Borrower will request that each [**] advise the Security Trustee and the Borrower by 11:00 a.m., New York time, on such date of the Liquidity Break Amount applicable to such event.

 

(i)                                     Right of Repayment and Cancellation in Relation to a Single Loan Participant. If:

 

(1)                                  any sum payable to any Loan Participant by the Borrower is required to be increased under paragraph (d) of Schedule III hereto (other than in respect of Excluded Taxes subject to paragraph (d)(iii) of Schedule III); or

(2)                                  any Loan Participant claims indemnification from the Borrower under Section 8(c) hereof or the Borrower is required to repay or prepay the Loans of an Impaired Loan Participant in accordance with Section 8(d), or

 

(3)                                  any Type B Loan Participant seeks payment of the Market Disruption Floating Interest Rate or the Market Disruption Fixed Interest Rate after the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event;

 

then the Borrower may, while the circumstance giving rise to the requirement or indemnification continues, upon not less than five Business Days’ irrevocable prior notice to the Security Trustee and such Loan Participant either (1) cancel the commitment of that Loan Participant and repay that Loan Participant’s Loans together with accrued Commitment Fee, if any, accrued interest thereon, Break Amount, if any, and such Loan Participant’s allocable share of all other amounts due and owing by the Borrower under the Operative Documents or (2) cause that Loan Participant to transfer its Loans, Commitments and other rights and obligations hereunder to a transferee designated by the Borrower and permitted under Section 16(c) for a purchase price equal to the outstanding amount of principal owed to such Loan Participant as of the relevant date of transfer together with any accrued and unpaid Commitment Fee, accrued interest and Break Amount thereon.  In the case of any prepayment effected pursuant to clause (1) or (2) of this Section 3(i) in respect of the Break Amount payable to any [**] in association therewith, [**] of the component thereof constituting Liquidity Break Amount shall be payable to such [**].

 

(j)                                     Yield Protection.

 

(i)                                     If with respect to any Interest Period relating to any Tranche of any [**]:

 

(1)                                  the [**], each acting reasonably and in good faith, determine (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on all parties) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR rate for such period; or

 

(2)                                  any [**], acting reasonably and in good faith, advises the Borrower and the Security Trustee that LIBOR as determined in accordance with the definition thereof will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such [**] of maintaining or funding its [**] in line with prudent banking practice for such Interest Period; provided, that such inadequacy is the result of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market generally and is not directly and solely the result of a deterioration in the financial condition of such [**],

 

(each, a “Market Disruption Event”), then so long as such circumstances shall continue, the portion of the Loan that relates to such [**] shall bear interest, for each Interest Period of the

related Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 (A) in the case of a Floating Rate Loan, at the Market Disruption Cost of Funds applicable to the Type B Loan Participants, plus the Applicable Margin (applicable to [**] of each Tranche) (the “Market Disruption Floating Interest Rate”) and (B) in the case of a Fixed Rate Loan, at the Fixed Rate applicable to each Tranche of the [**] plus an amount equal to the difference of (I) the Market Disruption Cost of Funds, minus (II) LIBOR for such Interest Period (the “Market Disruption Fixed Interest Rate”).

 

(ii)                                  If the provisions of this Section 3(j) are applicable, then each affected [**] shall report, as provided in paragraph (iv) below, to the Security Trustee and the Borrower its cost of funding its share of the [**] for such Interest Period ), expressed as a percentage rate per annum, and, based on the report of each such [**] as to such cost of funds, the Security Trustee shall calculate the weighted average thereof.  Promptly following the calculation of such weighted average, the Security Trustee shall advise the Borrower and the each of the affected Type B Loan Participants thereof (which weighted average shall be the “Market Disruption Cost of Funds”) and the Market Disruption Cost of Funds shall be applicable to each of the affected Type B Loan Participants.

 

(iii)                               The report by any Type B Loan Participant to the Security Trustee and the Borrower of its cost of funds for any Interest Period shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and shall constitute a certification by such Type B Loan Participant that the interest rate so provided is an accurate, fair and non-discriminatory calculation of its Treasury (or comparable) desk’s assessed funding costs for such period and that such Type B Loan Participant is, to the extent it is entitled to do so, generally charging its borrowers similarly situated with the Borrower such market disruption costs.

 

(iv)                              If the provisions of this Section 3(j) are applicable, each affected Type B Loan Participant shall report to the Security Trustee and the Borrower its cost of funds for each affected Interest Period as soon as practicable and, in any event, prior to the first day of such Interest Period (or promptly thereafter under circumstances where such costs of funds are generally not available to lenders similarly situated to any affected Type B Loan Participant); provided that if any affected Type B Loan Participant is not able to obtain deposits in the London interbank (or other relevant) market matching such Interest Period, notice of its cost of funds rate shall be provided as follows:  (i) prior to the first day of such Interest Period (or promptly thereafter under circumstances where such costs of funds are generally not available to lenders similarly situated to any affected Type B Loan Participant), such Type B Loan Participant shall provide to the Security Trustee and the Borrower an approximation of the cost to such Type B Loan Participant of such funding for such Interest Period; and (ii) prior to the last day of such Interest Period (or earlier, to the extent practicable if deposits of a duration longer than one day are obtained), such Type B Loan Participant shall provide to the Security Trustee and the Borrower the actual cost to such Type B Loan Participant of such funding for such Interest Period.

(v)                                 Notwithstanding Section 2.04 of the Mortgage (or any other provision in the Operative Documents requiring that interest be paid on a pro rata basis), in respect of each Interest Period of the related Tranche with respect to which a Market Disruption Event shall be applicable, the Security Trustee shall pay to each affected Type B Loan Participant of such Tranche from the funds provided by the Borrower pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) interest on the portion of the Loan that relates to the Type B Loan Certificate of such Tranche held by such Type B Loan Participant at the Market Disruption Floating Interest Rate applicable to such Type B Loan Participant or the Market Disruption Fixed Interest Rate applicable to such Type B Loan Participant, as the case may be, provided in clause (i) above for such Type B Loan Participant.

 

(vi)                              All amounts payable under this Section 3(j) shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual number of days elapsed.

 

(vii)                           Upon any Type B Loan Participant affected by a Market Disruption Event confirming to the Security Trustee and the Borrower that the event(s) giving rise to such Market Disruption Event have ceased, the rate of interest applicable to such Type B Loan Participant’s Type B Loans will revert to such rate of interest immediately in effect prior to the occurrence of such Market Disruption Event.

 

(k)                                  Alternative Basis.  If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Type B Loan Participants or the Borrower so requires, the Type B Loan Participants and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing on a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest payable in respect of Type B Loan Certificates, provided that any alternative basis agreed shall, with the prior consent of each affected Type B Loan Participant and the Borrower, be binding on all parties.  If within such 30 day period each of the affected Type B Loan Participants and the Borrower  agree upon a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest payable in respect of Type B Loan Certificates, such alternative basis shall be retroactive to and effective from the first day of the applicable Interest Period until and including the last day of such Interest Period.  For the avoidance of doubt, during any such period of negotiation, the Borrower shall be required to perform its obligations under the preceding Section 3(j).  Upon any Type B Loan Participant affected by a Market Disruption Event confirming to the Security Trustee and the Borrower that the event(s) giving rise to such Market Disruption Event have ceased, the alternative rate of interest applicable to such Type B Loan Participant’s Type B Loans will revert to such rate of interest immediately in effect prior to the occurrence of such Market Disruption Event.

 

(l)                                     Manner of Payment.  All amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be payable without setoff or counterclaim in immediately available funds to the Person entitled thereto, and to such Person’s account specified on Schedule I or as otherwise directed.

(a)                                  General Indemnity.

 

(i)                                     Subject to the exclusions stated in (b) below and the other limitations in this Section 8, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and agrees to protect, save and keep harmless each of them, on an After-Tax Basis, from any and all Expenses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of or directly resulting from (A) the operation, possession, use, maintenance, overhaul, testing, registration, reregistration, delivery, non-delivery, lease, nonuse, modification, alteration, or sale of the Designated Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, or any engine used in connection with any associated Airframe or any part of any of the foregoing by the Borrower, any lessee or any other Person whatsoever, whether or not such operation, possession, use, maintenance, overhaul, testing, registration, reregistration, delivery, non-delivery, lease, nonuse, modification, alteration, or sale is in compliance with the terms of the Mortgage, including, without limitation, claims for death, personal injury or property damage or other loss or harm to any person whatsoever and claims relating to any laws, rules or regulations pertaining to such operation, possession, use, maintenance, overhaul, testing, registration, reregistration, delivery, non-delivery, lease, non-use, modification, alteration, sale or return including environmental control, noise and pollution laws, rules or regulations; (B) the manufacture, design, purchase, acceptance, rejection, delivery, or condition of the Designated Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, any engine used in connection with any Airframe, or any part of any of the foregoing including, without limitation, latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable, or trademark or copyright infringement to the extent the Borrower has

claims against the Aircraft Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer for such amounts; (C) any breach of or failure to perform or observe, or any other noncompliance with, any covenant or agreement to be performed, or other obligation of the Borrower under any of the Operative Documents, or the falsity of any representation or warranty of the Borrower in any of the Operative Documents; (D) the offer, sale and delivery by the Borrower or anyone acting on behalf of the Borrower of any Loan Certificates or successor debt obligations issued in connection with the refunding or refinancing thereof (including, without limitation, any claim arising out of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other Federal or state statute, law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise relating to securities) (the indemnity provided in this clause (D) to extend also to any Person who controls an Indemnitee, its successors, assigns, employees, directors, officers, servants and agents within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended); and (E) the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents or any Lease under the Mortgage for the Designated Aircraft, any Event of Default under the Mortgage for the Designated Aircraft or the enforcement against the Borrower of any of the terms thereof (including, without limitation, Article IX of such Mortgage).

 

(ii)           Claims Excluded.  The foregoing indemnity shall not extend to any Expense of any Indemnitee to the extent attributable to one or more of the following:

 

(1)           acts or omissions involving the willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or any Person acting on behalf of such Indemnitee (other than gross negligence imputed to such Indemnitee solely by reason of its interest in the Designated Aircraft);

 

(2)           the failure by such Indemnitee to perform or observe any agreement, covenant or condition in any of the Operative Documents applicable to it (except to the extent such failure was caused directly by the failure of the Borrower to perform any of its obligations under the Operative Documents);

 

(3)           any representation or warranty by such Indemnitee in the Operative Documents or in connection therewith being incorrect;

 

(4)           with respect to any Indemnitee, a disposition, assignment or other transfer (voluntary or involuntary) by such Indemnitee of all or any part of such Indemnitee’s interest in any Loan Certificate other than during the continuance of an Event of Default;

(6)           to violations of applicable securities laws, including, without limitation, any federal, state or foreign securities laws, attributable to the Underwriters or any Loan Participant’s own actions, or the actions of anyone acting on behalf of the Underwriters or such Loan Participant, in connection with any offer, sale, assignment or other disposition of its interest in the Aircraft, the Loans or any Loan Certificate by such Loan Participant;

 

(7)           the authorization or giving or withholding of any future amendments, supplements, waivers, or consents with respect to any of the Operative Documents other than such as have been consented to, approved, authorized or requested by the Borrower;

 

(8)           any Expense which (a) is specified to be for account of an Indemnitee pursuant to the Operative Documents without express right of reimbursement under any Operative Document or (b) any Indemnitee agrees in writing to pay or such Indemnitee expressly agrees in writing shall not be paid or reimbursed by the Borrower;

 

(9)           any claim to the extent it is an ordinary and usual internal operating or overhead expense of such Indemnitee other than such expenses caused by an Event of Default;

 

(10)         any acts or events (other than acts or events related to the performance or failure to perform by Borrower of its obligations pursuant to the terms of the Operative Documents) that occur after the Security Trustee is required to release all Mortgage Estate from the Lien of the Mortgage for the Designated Aircraft, except to the extent attributable to acts or events occurring prior thereto;

 

(11)         if another provision of a Operative Document specifies the extent of the Borrower’s responsibility or obligation with respect to such Expense, to the extent of such Expense (in which case such other provision shall govern); and

 

(12)         the failure of the Security Trustee to distribute funds received and distributable by it in accordance with the Operative Documents.

 

(iii)          Claims Procedure.  If a claim is made against an Indemnitee involving one or more Expenses and such Indemnitee has notice thereof, such Indemnitee shall promptly after receiving such notice give notice of such claim to the Borrower; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations to indemnify hereunder except to the extent that the Borrower is prejudiced as a result of the failure to give such notice in a timely fashion, and no payment by the Borrower to an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall be deemed

to constitute a waiver or release of any right or remedy which the Borrower may have against such Indemnitee for any actual damages as a result of the failure by such Indemnitee to give the Borrower such notice.  The Borrower (or its insurer(s)) shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to the respective Indemnitee, so long as the Borrower (or its insurer(s)) has acknowledged in writing its responsibility for such Expense hereunder (except that the Borrower (and its insurer(s)) will not be bound by such acknowledgment if the decision of a court or arbitrator provides that the Borrower is not liable hereunder), (A) in any judicial or administrative proceeding that involves solely a claim for one or more Expenses, to assume responsibility for and control thereof, (B) in any judicial or administrative proceeding involving a claim for one or more Expenses and other claims related or unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents, to assume responsibility for and control of such claim for Expenses to the extent that the same may be and is severed from such other claims (and such Indemnitee shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain such severance), and (C) in any other case, to be consulted by such Indemnitee with respect to judicial proceedings subject to the control of such Indemnitee and to be allowed, at the Borrower’s sole expense, to participate therein.  The Indemnitee may participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in any judicial proceeding controlled by the Borrower pursuant to the preceding provisions.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any such judicial or administrative proceedings if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if such proceedings will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Designated Aircraft unless (I) fully covered by insurance and the applicable insurers have confirmed responsibility therefor in writing, or (II) the Borrower shall have posted a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitee with respect to such risk or if such proceedings could entail any risk of criminal liability being imposed on such Indemnitee.

 

The Indemnitee shall supply the Borrower with such information not within the control of the Borrower, as is in such Indemnitee’s control or is reasonably available to such Indemnitee, which the Borrower may reasonably request and as is necessary or advisable for the Borrower to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 8(a)(iii).  Such Indemnitee shall not enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any Expense without the prior written consent of the Borrower unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Expense under this Section 8(a) and repays to the Borrower all Expenses previously paid by the Borrower to such Indemnitee in connection therewith.

 

The Borrower shall supply the relevant Indemnitee with such information not within the control of such Indemnitee, as is in the Borrower’s control or is reasonably available to the Borrower, which such Indemnitee may reasonably requested and as is necessary or advisable for the Indemnitee to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 8(a).

In the case of any Expense indemnified by the Borrower hereunder which is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by the Borrower (or any Lessee) pursuant to Article VI of the Mortgage for the Designated Aircraft or otherwise, it shall be a condition of such indemnity with respect to any particular Indemnitee that such Indemnitee shall cooperate with the insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise such Expense as may be required to retain the benefits of such insurance with respect to such Expense.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, with respect to any Expense which is covered under policies of insurance maintained by the Borrower (or any Lessee) pursuant to Article VI of the Mortgage for the Designated Aircraft or otherwise, the rights of an Indemnitee to control or participate in any proceedings shall be modified to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of such policies and the rights of the insurers thereunder.

 

To the extent of any payment of any Expense pursuant to this Section 8(a), the Borrower (or its insurer(s), if applicable), without any further action, shall be subrogated to any claims the Indemnitee may have relating thereto.  The Indemnitee agrees to give such further assurances or agreements and to cooperate with the Borrower (or its insurer(s), if applicable) to permit the Borrower (or its insurer(s), if applicable) to pursue such claims, if any, to the extent reasonably requested by the Borrower (or its insurer(s), if applicable).

 

In the event that the Borrower (or its insurer(s)) shall have paid an amount to an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 8(a), and such Indemnitee subsequently shall be reimbursed in respect of such indemnified amount from any other Person, such Indemnitee shall promptly pay the Borrower the amount of such reimbursement, including interest received attributable thereto, unless a Special Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case such amount shall be paid over to the Security Trustee to hold as security for the Borrower’s obligations under the Operative Documents or, if requested by the Borrower, applied to satisfy such obligations.

 

If an Indemnitee is not party to this Agreement, the Borrower may require such Indemnitee to agree in writing to the terms of this Section 8(a) prior to making any payment to such Indemnitee under this Section 8(a).

 

(b)           Tax Indemnities.  The [**] withholding Tax indemnities are specified in Schedule III hereto, which provisions are incorporated herein by reference.

 

(c)           Increased Costs.

 

(i)            If, by reason of any Change in Law occurring after the date hereof:

 

(x)            a Loan Participant or any Holding Company of such Loan Participant has a reduction on its rate of return on its capital as relates to the class of assets and liabilities that includes its commitments and Loans (taking into account any Hedge Transaction) made under this Agreement below that which such Loan Participant or Holding Company would have achieved but for such

33











 

Change in Law (taking into account the capital adequacy policies developed by such Loan Participant in connection with the adoption and/or implementation of the Basel II and Basel III accords);

 

(y)           a Loan Participant or any Holding Company of such Loan Participant incurs a cost as a result of such Loan Participant entering into or assuming or maintaining a commitment or performing its obligations (including its obligation to participate in the making of the Loan or enter into any Hedge Transaction) under this Agreement; or

 

(z)            there is any increase in the cost to a Loan Participant or any Holding Company of such Loan Participant of funding or maintaining all or any of the Loans (including any Hedge Transaction) comprised in a class of loans formed by or including such Loan Participant’s share of the Loans made or to be made by such Loan Participant, including any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement assessed against assets of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, such Loan Participant;

 

then, subject to the provisions of this Section 8(c), the Borrower shall, from time to time on demand of the Security Trustee (on behalf of any Loan Participant), promptly pay to the Security Trustee for the account of that Loan Participant, amounts sufficient to hold harmless and indemnify such Loan Participant on an After-Tax Basis, from and against, as the case may be, (x) the reasonably allocable portion of any such reduction in the rate of return on capital, (y) any such actual cost, (z) any such increased cost (or such proportion of such increased cost as is reasonably attributable to its participating in the funding or maintaining of the Loans or any Hedge Transaction) (together, “Increased Costs”); provided, that:

 

(1)           the Borrower shall have no liability under this Section 8(c) in respect of any Taxes (other than amounts necessary to make payments on an After-Tax Basis);

 

(2)           the Borrower shall have no liability under this Section 8(c) if (i) the Borrower elects to direct the transfer or to repay the affected Loans and cancels the affected Commitments pursuant to Section 3(i) hereof (provided that the Borrower shall nevertheless be liable under this Section 8(c) for increased costs relating to the period prior to such prepayment and cancellation), (ii) such Loan Participant is not also seeking indemnification against similar increased costs, to the extent it is entitled to do so, in transactions with similarly situated borrowers (it being agreed that an officer’s certificate to the contrary from any such Loan Participant shall constitute sufficient evidence of such fact) or (iii) the claim for Increased Costs arises out of a voluntary relocation by such Loan Participant of its Facility Office;

 




[**] — Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions.  The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

34











 

(3)           such Loan Participant shall only be entitled to receive compensation for such Increased Costs from and after the time that is 150 days prior to the date the Increased Cost Notice referred to below is received by the Borrower; and

 

(4)           such Loan Participant will (at Borrower’s expense) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the amount of the Increased Costs associated with such event, including designating a different Facility Office to hold the Loans if such designation will avoid or reduce such Increased Costs and will not, in the sole opinion of such Loan Participant, result in any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage to such Loan Participant (other than economic disadvantages for which the Borrower has provided an indemnity acceptable to such Loan Participant).

 

(ii)           A Loan Participant intending to make a claim for Increased Costs pursuant to Section 8(c)(i) shall, within 60 days after becoming aware of the same, provide written notice to the Security Trustee and the Borrower of the event by reason of which it is entitled to do so (the “Increased Cost Notice”); provided, that:

 

(x)            the Increased Cost Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the events giving rise to such Increased Costs, the basis for determining and allocating such Increased Costs and the amount of each request by such Loan Participant for compensation under this Section 8(c), together with a statement that the determinations and allocations made in respect of the Increased Costs comply with the provisions of this Section 8(c); and

 

(y)           such Loan Participant shall not be required to disclose any confidential information relating to the organization of its affairs, or its capital structure or return on capital.

 

(iii)          Certificate of Loan Participants.  A certificate of a Loan Participant as to (i) any amount payable to it under this Agreement or (ii) the amount of any indemnity payable to it, or for its account, under this Section 8(c) shall, in either case and in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amount of such obligation of the Borrower so long the underlying determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis.

 

(iv)          No Greater Obligation.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Loan Participant changes its Facility Office or a Loan Participant assigns or transfers the whole or any part of the Loan or its rights, benefits or obligations under this Agreement and such change, assignment or transfer would at the date of such change, assignment or transfer subject the Borrower to any greater obligation or liability under this Agreement or any other Operative Documents than it would have been under on such date if no such change, assignment or transfer had then taken place, then unless

 




[**] — Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions.  The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

35











 

such change, assignment or transfer was made at the request of the Borrower in order to mitigate or avoid the requirement for payment of additional amounts or increased costs or after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any amounts in excess of the amount that it would have been obliged to pay had no change, assignment or transfer then taken place.

 

(d)           Illegality.

 

(i)            Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if any Change in Law or Illegality Event shall make it unlawful for any Loan Participant to maintain its Commitment or its portion of the Loans in respect of the Designated Aircraft, then the affected Loan Participant shall deliver to Borrower and the Security Trustee a written certification describing in reasonable detail the events giving rise to such unlawfulness.  Upon receipt by Borrower of such notice, the Borrower and such Loan Participant shall negotiate for a period of 60 days in an effort to mitigate such illegality.  During such mitigation period the affected Loan Participant shall not be required to advance any Loans to the Borrower hereunder.  If after such mitigation period, such unlawfulness cannot be resolved, then the provisions of clause (ii) below shall apply.

 

(ii)           If there shall have occurred and be continuing an event with respect to a Loan Participant of the type described in clause (i) above (an “Impaired Loan Participant”), then such Impaired Loan Participant may and, if so instructed by the Borrower shall:

 

(x)            notify the Borrower and each other Loan Participant that such unlawfulness has occurred and give notice that (a) if no Loan shall then have been made by such Impaired Loan Participant, no Loan shall be made to the Borrower by such Impaired Loan Participant or (b) if a Loan shall then have been made by such Impaired Loan Participant and remain outstanding, no further Loans shall be made to the Borrower by such Impaired Loan Participant, and request each other Loan Participant to take up the relevant portion of such Impaired Loan Participant’s unfunded Commitments, if any, in which case each such other Loan Participant may (but shall not be obligated to) in its sole discretion assume its pro rata share of such Impaired Loan Participant’s Commitment by providing written notice of such assumption to such Impaired Loan Participant, the Security Trustee and the Borrower within five Business Days, and if such other Loan Participant does not so elect in writing to assume its pro rata share of the Impaired Loan Participant’s commitments, such Impaired Loan Participant shall send a further notice to each remaining Loan Participant, which in turn may (but shall not be obligated to) in its sole discretion assume the remaining available commitments of such Impaired Loan Participant on a pro rata basis by providing written notice of such assumption to such Impaired Loan Participant, the Security Trustee and the Borrower within five Business Days; and

 




[**] — Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions.  The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

36











 

(y)           notify the Borrower and each other Loan Participant that such unlawfulness has occurred and, to the extent that applicable laws do not require the immediate repayment of all or a portion of such Impaired Loan Participant’s Loans, request each other Loan Participant to assume the relevant portion of such Impaired Loan Participant’s Loans, in which case each such other Loan Participant may (but shall not be obligated to) in its sole discretion assume its pro rata share of such Impaired Loan Participant’s Loans by providing written notice of such assumption to such Impaired Loan Participant, the Security Trustee and the Borrower within five Business Days and otherwise complying with the procedure set out in Section 16(c) hereof, and if any other Loan Participant does not so elect in writing to assume its pro rata share of the Impaired Loan Participant’s Loans, such Impaired Loan Participant shall send a further notice to each remaining Loan Participant and the Borrower, and (A) each remaining Loan Participant in turn may (but shall not be obligated to) in its sole discretion assume the remaining available Loans of such Impaired Loan Participant on a pro rata basis by providing written notice of such assumption to such Impaired Loan Participant, the Security Trustee and the Borrower within five Business Days and otherwise complying with the procedure set out in Section 16(c) hereof or (B) the Borrower may elect to require the Impaired Loan Participant to transfer its Loans, Commitments and other rights and obligations hereunder (and, if such Loan is a Fixed Rate Loan, cancel, terminate or otherwise unwind the related Hedge Transaction) in accordance with Section 3(i) hereof; and

 

(z)            to the extent that any of such Impaired Loan Participant’s Loans are not assumed by one or more of the other Loan Participants or a third party as contemplated in clause (x) or (y) above, or that applicable laws require the immediate repayment of all or a portion of such Impaired Loan Participant’s Loans, require the Borrower to repay the Loans advanced by such Impaired Loan Participant in full together with accrued interest and Break Amount, if any, and all other amounts accrued and owing to such Impaired Loan Participant under the Operative Documents, whereupon the Borrower shall on the date specified in such notice (which shall be the earlier of the date on which applicable laws require the immediate repayment of all or a portion of such Impaired Loan Participant’s Loans and the Interest Payment Date first occurring not earlier than ten Business Days from the date of such notice), repay in full all such amounts.  In the case of any prepayment effected pursuant to this clause (z), in respect of the Break Amount payable to any Type A Loan Participant in association therewith, [**] of the component thereof constituting Liquidity Break Amount shall be payable.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure by any Loan Participant to provide written notice of assumption of an Impaired Loan Participant’s Commitments or Loans within the relevant time frame contemplated by clause (x) or (y) above, as applicable, shall be conclusive evidence that such Loan Participant has elected not to assume any such additional Commitments or Loans.  To 

 




[**] — Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions.  The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

37











 

the extent that any of such Impaired Loan Participant’s Commitments or Loans are not assumed by one or more of the other Loan Participants as contemplated in clause (x) or (y) above, as applicable, the unassumed portion will be cancelled and the Commitments will be reduced accordingly.  Nothing in this Section (d) shall affect the obligation of any Loan Participant other than an Impaired Loan Participant to make or maintain its Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 9            Covenants of the Borrower.

 

(a)           Borrower Merger.  The Borrower may not enter into any transaction (whether by way of reconstruction, reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, merger, transfer, sale, lease or otherwise, a “Merger”) whereby all or substantially all of its liabilities, property and assets would become the property of any other Person or, in the case of any such Merger, of the continuing corporation or limited liability company resulting therefrom (collectively, the “Successor”) unless: (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom; (ii) the Successor will be liable for the obligations of the Borrower under the Operative Documents to which it is a party, and each Loan Participant shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of such liability; (iii) the Successor is a corporation or limited liability company formed under the laws of the United States or one of its States (and, if not a Delaware corporation or limited liability company, all UCC filings shall have been effected in order to ensure that the Security Trustee continues to have a first priority and perfected lien against the Mortgage Estate in respect of the Designated Aircraft) and is a certified air carrier; (iv) all registrations, recordings and filings, and such other actions with respect to the Operative Documents, shall have been effected as shall be necessary or advisable in the reasonable opinion of the Loan Participants to protect their security interest in the Designated Aircraft; and (v) such Person or the Successor  has a Tangible Net Worth after giving effect to such Merger no less than the Tangible Net Worth of the Borrower immediately prior to such Merger (and the Loan Participants shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to them to such effect).  As used herein,

 

“Tangible Net Worth” means, as at any date for any Person, the sum for such Person and its Subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis without duplication in accordance with GAAP), of the following:

 

(a)           the amount of capital stock, plus

 

(b)           the amount of surplus and retained earnings (or, in the case of a surplus or retained earnings deficit, minus the amount of such deficit), minus

 

(c)           the sum of the following: cost of treasury shares and the book value of all assets which should be classified as intangibles, including goodwill, minority interests, research and development costs, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents and franchises, and unamortized debt discount and expense.

(b)           U.S. Air Carrier.  The Borrower covenants and agrees that at all times until the Lien of the Mortgage for the Designated Aircraft shall be discharged pursuant to Section 14.01 thereof, it will be an “air carrier” within the meaning of the Federal Aviation Act operating under certificates issued pursuant to Section 41102(a) of such Act and shall otherwise meet the standards of the definition of U.S. Air Carrier.

 

(c)           Further Assurances.  The Borrower covenants and agrees with each party hereto as follows:

 

(i)            The Borrower will cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered all and every such further acts, conveyances and assurances as any Holder shall reasonably require for accomplishing the purposes of this Agreement and the other Operative Documents; provided that any instrument or other document so executed by the Borrower will not expand any obligations or limit any rights of the Borrower in respect of the transactions contemplated by any Operative Documents.  The Borrower shall cause the Designated Aircraft to remain duly registered, in the name of the Borrower, except as otherwise required or permitted hereunder or under the Mortgage, under the Federal Aviation Act.

 

(ii)           The Borrower, at its expense, will cause (A) the Mortgage, all Mortgage Supplements and all amendments to the Mortgage, in each case, for the Designated Aircraft, to be promptly filed and recorded, or filed for recording, to the extent permitted under the Federal Aviation Act, or required under any other applicable law, (B) subject only to the consent of the Security Trustee (or the Aircraft Manufacturer, in the case of the FAA Bill of Sale for the Designated Aircraft), the registration with the International Registry of the contract of sale and the international interests with respect to each FAA Bill of Sale and/or Warranty Bill of Sale, the Mortgage and Mortgage Supplement, in each case, for the Designated Aircraft, and (C) the Lien of the Mortgage for the Designated Aircraft to at all times be and remain a first priority and perfected Lien on the Mortgage Estate thereunder (subject to Permitted Liens ranking junior in priority to such Lien).  The Borrower agrees to furnish the Security Trustee and the Loan Participants with copies of the foregoing documents with recording and registration data as promptly as practicable following the issuance of same by the FAA and the International Registry.

 

The Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable costs and disbursements of outside counsel, provided that the Borrower shall no obligation to reimburse the reasonable costs and disbursements of more than one counsel to the Security Trustee and one counsel to the Holders) incurred by the Security Trustee and the Holders after the date hereof in connection with (x) any supplements or amendments of the Operative Documents (including, without limitation, any related recording and registration costs) requested by Borrower or otherwise reasonably required to effectuate the intent of the Operative Documents, (y) any Event of Default and any enforcement or collection proceedings resulting therefrom or in connection

with the negotiation of any restructuring or “work-out” (whether or not consummated), or (z) the enforcement of this Section 9(c).

(a)           in connection with any proceedings arising out of or in connection with any of the Operative Documents to the extent that such party is advised by legal counsel that it is necessary to protect its interests or is legally required to do so; or if required to do so by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction whether in pursuance of any procedure for discovering documents or otherwise; or

 

(b)           pursuant to any law or regulation having the force of law (including rules and regulations of the SEC); or

(d)           to any transferee or potential transferee of a Loan Certificate or interest therein (which agrees to be bound by confidentiality provisions similar to those set forth herein); or

 

(e)           to its auditors, bankers, legal or other professional advisers (or those of any person covered by the preceding paragraph (d)) (which are under an ethical obligation to or agree to hold such information confidential); or

 

(f)            in any manner contemplated by any of the Operative Documents; or

 

(g)           for due diligence purposes in connection with significant transactions or dealings involving any party, and which are outside the ordinary course of that party’s business, including investments, acquisitions or financings, to other potential parties to such dealings or transactions or their professional advisors, provided that such other parties (i) shall not be permitted to retain any copies of any of the Operative Documents or to disclose same to any third party; and (ii) shall enter into a confidentiality agreement on terms substantially similar to those contained in this Section 14, except that such confidentiality agreement shall not provide for any disclosure of the terms of the Operative Documents or any non-public information, including pursuant to this due diligence exemption; or

 

(h)           if the information contained therein shall have emanated in conditions free from confidentiality restrictions from some person other than such party and such party would, but for the preceding provisions of this Section 14, have been free to disclose or use the same.

 

SECTION 15          Nondisturbance.

 

The Security Trustee and each Loan Participant each agrees that neither it nor anyone acting on its behalf will interfere in the Borrower’s or any permitted Lessee’s quiet enjoyment of the Designated Aircraft so long as no Event of Default under the Mortgage shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

SECTION 16          Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           The representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements of the Borrower, the Security Trustee and each Loan Participant provided for in this Agreement and each party’s obligations under any and all thereof, shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Agreement or any other Operative Document to the extent expressly provided herein or therein.

 

(b)           This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the terms hereof may be terminated, amended, supplemented, waived or modified,

except by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower, the Security Trustee and the Majority in Interest of Holders (or all Holders, as the case may be).

 

(c)           (i)            This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns including each successive holder of any Loan Certificate(s) issued and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the Mortgage for the Designated Aircraft whether or not an express assignment to any such holder of rights under the Agreement has been made (but only to the extent such express assignment would otherwise be permitted by the terms hereof).

 

(ii)           The Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Operative Documents except to the extent expressly provided hereby or thereby.

 

(iii)          Each Holder may assign its Commitments and/or Loan Certificates, in whole or in part, to any Person as provided in Section 2.06 of the Mortgage, which assignment shall be effected pursuant to an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the consent of the Borrower, no Holder may assign its Loan Certificates, in whole or in part, (i) in any manner which would result in a violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable law, (ii) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to any Person other than (A) another financial institution, (B) an insurance company, (C) a trust company, (D) a single purpose company, which is guaranteed by a Loan Participant or (E) any European central bank or Federal Reserve Bank and (iii) if the effect of such assignment were to in any way diminish as at the date of such assignment Borrower’s rights or increase the Borrower’s liability or obligations or amounts owing in respect thereof (including, without limitation, with respect to withholding Taxes, increased costs, interest rate adjustments (including, without limitation, those arising from differences in Liquidity Margin or Liquidity Reserve Differentials) or Hedge Breakage Loss) above that which would result or would have been incurred as at the date of such assignment had such assignment or participation not occurred.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a Holder assigns or transfers a Loan Certificate in accordance with the foregoing (other than upon request by the Borrower or after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default) and, as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment or transfer occurs the Borrower’s rights or obligations are so diminished or increased, as applicable, then the Borrower shall have no liability or obligations or owe any amounts in respect thereof (including, without limitation, with respect to withholding taxes, increased costs, interest rate adjustments (including, without limitation, those arising from differences in Liquidity Margin or Liquidity Reserve Differentials) or Hedge Breakage Loss) above that which would result or would have been incurred had such assignment or participation not occurred as at such date.  Subject to Section 2(a), effective upon the assignment of any Commitment, the assigning Loan Participant shall be relieved of its obligations in respect

 




[**] — Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions.  The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

45











 

of such Commitment to the extent the assignee thereof shall have become obligated in respect thereof.  The Borrower shall not be liable for any costs, fees or expenses in connection with any assignment of Commitments or transfer of Loan Certificates.

 

(d)           No Loan Participant shall have any obligation or duty to the Borrower, or to other Persons with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations or duties of such Loan Participant expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Operative Documents and no Loan Participant shall be liable for performance by any other party hereto of such other party’s obligations or duties hereunder.  Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, under no circumstances whatsoever shall any Loan Participant be liable to the Borrower for any action or inaction on the part of the Security Trustee in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, whether or not such action or inaction is caused by willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Security Trustee.

 

(e)           Any reference herein to an approval, consent or waiver to be given by such Loan Participants shall be deemed hereunder to be an approval, consent or waiver, as the case may be, if a Majority in Interest of Holders approve, consent or waive, as the case may be.

 

(f)            Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any Loan Participant may pledge its Loans and related Loan Certificate to a Federal Reserve Bank, any European central bank or any other bank or other financial institution or authority in connection with a programmatic financing by such Loan Participant of certain of its assets.

 

(g)           The Operative Documents constitute the entire understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter thereof and supersedes all previous agreements, whether written or oral, concerning such subject matter.

 

(h)           If, at any time, any provision of the Operative Documents is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.

 

(i)            In no event shall any Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, and each Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

 

(j)            The Borrower has not relied on and will not rely on the Loan Participants for any explicit or implicit advice in relation to the fixing of the interest rate or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Facility Agreement, including the structuring thereof or any accounting, tax, legal or regulatory or other consequences of such transactions.

SECTION 17          Patriot Act; Money Laundering.

 

(a)           Each of the Security Trustee and the Loan Participants hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow each of the Security Trustee and the Loan Participants (as the case may be) to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

 

(b)           For the purpose of the German Money Laundering Act (Geldwäschegesetz), the Borrower hereby confirms that it is acting for its own account.

 

SECTION 18          Registrations with the International Registry.

 

Each of the parties hereto consents to the registration with the International Registry of the international interests with respect to the Mortgage and each Mortgage Supplement, and each party hereto covenants and agrees that it will take all such action reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Security Trustee in order to make any registrations with the International Registry, including becoming a registry user entity with the International Registry and providing consents to any registration as may be contemplated by the Operative Documents.

(iii)                               Each Non-U.S. Loan Participant shall deliver to the Borrower and the Security Trustee on the date of the Facility Agreement (or, if such Non-U.S. Loan Participant becomes a Loan Participant after the date of the Facility Agreement, on the date on which such Non-U.S. Loan Participant becomes a Loan Participant) a properly completed and duly signed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8EXP (or applicable successor form) evidencing such Loan Participant’s entitlement to a complete exemption from or to a reduced rate of United States withholding Taxes on interest and all other amounts payable to such Loan Participant pursuant to the Operative Documents.  Each Loan Participant that is a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), but is not a Person described in Section 6049(b)(4) of the Code, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Security Trustee on the date of this Agreement (or, if such Loan Participant becomes a Loan Participant after the date of this Agreement, on the date on which such Loan Participant becomes a Loan Participant) and the Security Trustee shall deliver to the Borrower on the date of this Agreement a properly completed and duly signed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form), evidencing such Loan Participant’s or the Security Trustee’s, as the case may be, entitlement to a complete exemption from United States back-up withholding Taxes on interest and all other amounts payable to such Loan Participant or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to the Operative Documents.

(iv)                              If any Internal Revenue Service form delivered by the Security Trustee or any Loan Participant pursuant to this paragraph (d) expires or becomes inaccurate or obsolete, the Security Trustee or such Loan Participant (as the case may be) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Security Trustee a replacement Internal Revenue Service form (or applicable successor form).

 

(v)                                 For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to a Tax Indemnitee under paragraph (d)(i) of this Schedule III if such Tax Indemnitee shall have failed to satisfy the requirements of paragraph (d)(iii) or (d)(iv) of this Schedule III, as the case may be; provided that if a Non-U.S. Loan Participant shall have satisfied the requirements of paragraph (d)(iii) of this Schedule III on the date such Non-U.S. Loan Participant becomes party to this Agreement, nothing in this paragraph (d)(v) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to paragraph (d)(i) in the event that, as a result of a Change in Law, such Non-U.S. Loan Participant is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Loan Participant is not subject to withholding.

 

(vi)                              The Security Trustee and each Loan Participant agrees (and each other Loan Participant, by its execution hereof and by acceptance of the assignment of the Loan, shall be deemed to agree) to indemnify and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis each of the Loan Participants, the Security Trustee and the Borrower, within 30 days after receipt of written demand therefor, for all liabilities, losses, costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Loan Participants, the Security Trustee or the Borrower (as the case may be) as a result of its failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (d) or the inaccuracy of any Internal Revenue Service form delivered by it pursuant to this paragraph (d).

 

(vii)                           If the Borrower or the Security Trustee fails to withhold from any payment to a Loan Participant pursuant to this Agreement or any Operative Document any Tax which such Person is required by applicable law to withhold from such payment, but for which it is not responsible under this paragraph (d), the Security Trustee or such Loan Participant (as the case may be) shall repay to such Person, within ten Business Days after receipt of such Person’s written demand therefor, the amount which such Person was required to withhold.

 

(viii)                        If any party hereto determines that any withholding Tax is required by applicable law to be withheld from any amount payable to the Security Trustee or any Loan Participant pursuant to any Operative Document for which the Borrower is responsible under paragraph (d)(i) of this Schedule III, the party making such determination shall give written notice thereof to the other parties hereto and to the affected Tax Indemnitees, and if requested by the Borrower in writing, each other party hereto and the affected Tax Indemnitees, at the cost and expense of the Borrower, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take appropriate action to eliminate or minimize

the Borrower’s indemnity liability or gross-up obligation under this Schedule III for such withholding Taxes, provided that no such Person shall be obligated to accept any amendment of any Operative Document or to take any other action if such amendment or other action might in such Person’s sole discretion be adverse to it.  In addition, without limiting the foregoing, if a Loan Participant determines that any withholding Tax is required by applicable law to be withheld from any amount payable pursuant to a Hedge Transaction for which the Borrower is responsible under paragraph (d)(i) of this Schedule III, such Loan Participant shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower, the counterparty to the Hedge Transaction and any other Loan Participant (if any), and (if permitted by applicable law) the Borrower shall have the right to replace the party to the Hedge Transaction that is not eligible for an exemption from withholding Tax (if doing so would eliminate or reduce such withholding Tax) with a bank or financial institution that is acceptable to the remaining counterparty to the Hedge Transaction (on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the remaining party and without recourse to the party that is replaced); provided, further, that if the Borrower determines to so replace such a party to a Hedge Transaction, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the counterparty to the Hedge Transaction, all of the Loan Participants and the Security Trustee and shall be responsible for the costs and expenses in connection with the same (including, without limitation, any Hedge Breakage Loss).

 

(ix)                                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower shall have no obligation to make a payment to any Tax Indemnitee under paragraph (d)(i) above with respect to any Taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Tax Indemnitee at the time such Tax Indemnitee becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that the Borrower was required to make a payment under paragraph (d)(i) above in respect of such Taxes to or for the benefit of such Tax Indemnitee’s transferor or assignor (if any) at the time of assignment.

 

(e)                                  Survival.  The indemnities and other obligations of the Borrower, and the obligations of each Tax Indemnitee, under this Schedule III shall survive the Loan Participants’ making their respective Commitments available in respect of the Designated Aircraft, the Maturity Date of all of the Loans in respect of the Designated Aircraft and the expiration or other termination of the Operative Documents.

 

(f)                                    Non-Parties.  In the case of any Tax Indemnitee that is not a party to this Agreement, the Borrower may require such Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, to perform its obligations under the provisions of this Schedule III before making any payment to such Tax Indemnitee under this Schedule III.

 

*                                         *                                         *
