Subject to Section 3.05(e)(iii), the applicable Liquidity Provider may also arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility at any time after such Downgrade Drawing so long as such Downgrade Drawing has not been reimbursed in full to such Liquidity Provider.

(iv)    For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 3.05(c) shall apply to each occurrence of a Downgrade Event with respect to a Liquidity Provider, regardless of whether or not one or more Downgrade Events have occurred prior thereto and whether or not any confirmation by a Rating Agency specified in Section 3.05(c)(i) has been obtained with respect to any prior occurrence of a Downgrade Event.

(v)    If, at any time after making a Downgrade Drawing, the applicable Liquidity Provider satisfies the Threshold Rating and delivers written notice to such effect to the Subordination Agent and the Airlines, as of the second Business Day following receipt of such

(i)    In the case of either initial Liquidity Facility or any other Liquidity Facility having extension provisions identical to those set forth in Section 2.10 of either initial Liquidity Facility, then, if before the 60th day prior to any anniversary date of the Closing Date (such 60th day, the “Notice Date”), the Liquidity Provider shall have advised the Subordination Agent and the Airlines that such Liquidity Facility shall not be extended beyond the immediately following anniversary date of the Closing Date and on or before the 25th day prior to such anniversary date such Liquidity Facility shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.05(e), the Subordination Agent shall, on such 25th day (or as soon thereafter as possible but prior to the date of expiration of the expiring Liquidity Facility (a “Non-Extended Facility”)), in accordance with the terms of such Non-Extended Facility, request a drawing under such Non-Extended Facility (such drawing, a “Non-Extension Drawing”) of the Available Amount thereunder.

(ii)    In the case of any other Liquidity Facility, no earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then applicable Stated Expiration Date, the Subordination Agent shall request in writing that such Liquidity Provider extend the Stated Expiration Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for such Class of Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day after the last day of the Consent Period (unless the obligations of such Liquidity Provider thereunder are earlier terminated in accordance with such Liquidity Facility).

If such Replacement Liquidity Facility is provided at any time after a Downgrade Drawing, a Non-Extension Drawing or a Special Termination Advance has been made, all funds on deposit in the relevant Cash Collateral Account resulting from such Downgrade Drawing, Non-Extension Drawing or Special Termination Advance will be returned to the Liquidity Provider being replaced.

(ii)    If any Liquidity Provider shall determine not to extend its Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.05(d), then such Liquidity Provider may, at its option and its own expense, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace such Liquidity Facility during the period no earlier than 40 days and no later than 25 days prior to the then effective Stated Expiration Date of such Liquidity Facility. At any time after a Non-Extension Drawing has been made under any Liquidity Facility, the Liquidity Provider thereunder may, at its option and its own expense, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the Liquidity Facility under which such Non-Extension Drawing has been made.

(iii)    No Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by the Airlines or a Liquidity Provider in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above or pursuant to Section 3.05(c), respectively, shall become effective and no such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed a “Liquidity Facility” under the Operative Agreements, unless and until (A) each of the conditions referred to in sub-clauses (iv)(x) and (z) below shall have been satisfied, (B) if such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall materially adversely affect the rights, remedies, interests or obligations of the Class A Certificateholders or the Class B Certificateholders under any of the Operative Agreements, the applicable Trustee shall have consented, in writing, to the execution and issuance of such Replacement Liquidity Facility and (C) in the case of a Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by a Liquidity Provider under Section 3.05(e)(ii) or pursuant to Section 3.05(c), such Replacement Liquidity Facility is reasonably acceptable to the Airlines.

(iv)    on each date on which the Pool Balance of the Class B Trust shall have been reduced by payments made to the Class B Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw from the Class B Cash Collateral Account such amount as is necessary so that, after giving effect to the reduction of the Pool Balance on such date (and any reduction in the amounts on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account resulting from a prior withdrawal of amounts on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account on such date) and any transfer of Investment Earnings from such Cash Collateral Account to the Collection Account or the Special Payments Account on such date, an amount equal to the sum of the Required Amount (with respect to the Class B Liquidity Facility) plus (if on a Distribution Date not coinciding with an Interest Payment Date) Investment Earnings on deposit in such Cash Collateral Account (after giving effect to any such transfer of Investment Earnings) will remain on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account and shall first, pay such withdrawn amount to the Class B Liquidity Provider until the Class B Liquidity Obligations owing to such Liquidity Provider shall have been paid in full, and second, deposit any remaining withdrawn amount in the Collection Account;

ARTICLE IV

EXERCISE OF REMEDIES

Section 4.01    Directions from the Controlling Party. (a) (i) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture, the Controlling Party shall direct the Subordination Agent, as the holder of the Equipment Notes issued under such Indenture, which in turn shall direct the Loan Trustee under such Indenture, in the exercise of remedies available to the holders of such Equipment Notes, including, without limitation, the ability to vote all such Equipment Notes held by the Subordination Agent in favor of Accelerating such Equipment Notes in accordance with the provisions of such Indenture. Subject to Section 4.01(a)(iii), if the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture have been Accelerated following an Indenture Event of Default with respect thereto, the Controlling Party may direct the Subordination Agent to sell, assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver all (but not less than all) of such Equipment Notes to any Person at public or private sale, at any location at the option of the Controlling Party, all upon such terms and conditions as the Controlling Party may reasonably deem advisable and in accordance with applicable law.

(i)    Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture, in the exercise of remedies pursuant to such Indenture, the Loan Trustee under such Indenture may be directed to lease the related Aircraft to any Person (including an Airline) so long as the Loan Trustee in doing so acts in a “commercially reasonable” manner within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction (including Sections 9-610 and 9-627 thereof).

 

Intercreditor Agreement (2020-1)

 

41


(ii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Certificates remain Outstanding, during the period ending on the date which is nine months after the earlier of (x) the Acceleration of the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture or (y) the occurrence of an Airline Bankruptcy Event, without the consent of each Trustee (other than the Trustee of any Trust all of the Certificates of which are held or beneficially owned by the Airlines and/or their Affiliates), no Aircraft subject to the Lien of such Indenture or such Equipment Notes may be sold if the net proceeds from such sale would be less than the Minimum Sale Price for such Aircraft or such Equipment Notes.

(iii)    Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture, the Subordination Agent will obtain a desktop appraisal from each of the three Appraisers selected by the Controlling Party setting forth the current market value, current lease rate and distressed value (in each case, as defined by the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading or any successor organization) of the Aircraft subject to such Indenture (each such appraisal, an “Appraisal” and the current market value appraisals being referred to herein as the “Post-Default Appraisals”). For so long as any Indenture Event of Default shall be continuing under any Indenture, and without limiting the right of the Controlling Party to request more frequent Appraisals, the Subordination Agent will obtain updated Appraisals on the date that is 364 days from the date of the most recent Appraisal (or if an Airline Bankruptcy Event shall have occurred and is continuing, on the date that is 180 days from the date of the most recent Appraisal) and shall (acting on behalf of each Trustee) post such Appraisals on DTC’s Internet bulletin board or make such other commercially reasonable efforts as the Subordination Agent may deem appropriate to make such Appraisals available to all Certificateholders.

(b)    Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture, the Controlling Party shall take such actions as it may reasonably deem most effectual to complete the sale or other disposition of the relevant Aircraft or Equipment Notes. In addition, in lieu of any sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, the Controlling Party may maintain or cause the Subordination Agent to maintain possession of such Equipment Notes and continue to apply monies received in respect of such Equipment Notes in accordance with Article III hereof. In addition, in lieu of such sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, or in lieu of such maintenance of possession, the Controlling Party may direct the Subordination Agent to, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Indenture, instruct the Loan Trustee under such Indenture to foreclose on the Lien on the related Aircraft or to take any other remedial action permitted under such Indenture or under any applicable law.

(c)    If following an Airline Bankruptcy Event with respect to one or both Airlines and during the pendency thereof, the Controlling Party receives a proposal from or on behalf of any such Airline to restructure the financing of any one or more of the Aircraft, the Controlling Party shall promptly thereafter give the Subordination Agent, each Trustee and each Liquidity Provider that has not made a Final Drawing notice of the material economic terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal whereupon the Subordination Agent acting on behalf of each Trustee shall post such terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal on DTC’s Internet bulletin board or make such other commercially reasonable efforts as the Subordination

42


Agent may deem appropriate to make such terms and conditions available to all Certificateholders. Thereafter, neither the Subordination Agent nor any Trustee, whether acting on instructions of the Controlling Party or otherwise, may, without the consent of each Trustee and each Liquidity Provider that has not made a Final Drawing, enter into any term sheet, stipulation or other agreement (a “Restructuring Arrangement”) (whether in the form of an adequate protection stipulation, an extension under Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) to effect any such restructuring proposal with or on behalf of such Airline unless and until the material economic terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal shall have been made available to all Certificateholders and each Liquidity Provider that has not made a Final Drawing for a period of not less than 15 days (except that such requirement shall not apply to any such term sheet, stipulation or other agreement that is to be effective on or as of any date occurring during the 60-Day Period and that is initially effective for a period not exceeding three months from the expiry of the 60-Day Period (an “Interim Restructuring Arrangement”)). The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.01(c): (i) shall not apply to any extension of a Restructuring Arrangement with respect to which such provisions have been complied with in connection with the original entry thereof if the possibility of such extension has been disclosed in satisfaction of the notification requirements of such provisions and such extension shall not amend or modify any of the other terms and conditions of such Restructuring Arrangement and (ii) shall apply to the initial extension of an Interim Restructuring Arrangement beyond the three months following the expiry of the 60-Day Period but not to any subsequent extension of such Interim Restructuring Arrangement, if the possibility of such subsequent extension has been disclosed in satisfaction of the notification requirements of such provisions and such subsequent extension shall not amend or modify any of the other terms and conditions of such Interim Restructuring Arrangement. In the event that any Certificateholder gives irrevocable notice of the exercise of its right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Class of Certificates represented by the then Controlling Party pursuant to the applicable Trust Agreement, prior to the expiry of the 15-day notice period specified above, such Controlling Party may not direct the Subordination Agent or any Trustee to enter into any such restructuring proposal with respect to any of the Aircraft, unless and until such Certificateholder shall fail to purchase such Class of Certificates on the date that it is required to make such purchase.

Section 4.02    Remedies Cumulative. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each and every right, power and remedy given to the Trustees, the Liquidity Providers, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent specifically or otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may, subject always to the terms and conditions hereof, be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent, as appropriate, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default or to be an acquiescence therein.

Section 4.03    Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case any party to this Agreement (including the Controlling Party in such capacity) shall have instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such Proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Person instituting such Proceeding, then and in every such case each such party shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored to its former position and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of such party shall continue as if no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 4.04    Right of Certificateholders and the Liquidity Providers to Receive Payments Not to Be Impaired. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding but subject to each Trust Agreement, the right of any Certificateholder or any Liquidity Provider, respectively, to receive payments hereunder (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 3.02) when due, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the applicable Distribution Date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Certificateholder or such Liquidity Provider, respectively.

Section 9.09    Subordination. (a) As between the Liquidity Providers (and any additional liquidity providers in respect of any class of Refinancing Certificates or any Additional Certificates), on the one hand, and the Trustees (and any Refinancing Trustees or any Additional Trustees) and the Certificateholders (and any Refinancing Certificateholders or any Additional Certificateholders), on the other hand, and as among the Trustees (and any Refinancing Trustees or any Additional Trustee) and the related Certificateholders (and any Refinancing Certificateholders or any Additional Certificateholders) this Agreement shall be a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(a)    Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, if prior to the payment in full to the Liquidity Providers of all Liquidity Obligations then due and payable any party hereto shall have received any payment or distribution in respect of Equipment Notes or any other amount under the Indentures or other Operative Agreements which, had the subordination provisions of this Agreement been properly applied to such payment, distribution or other amount, would not have been distributed to such Person, then such payment, distribution or other amount shall be received and held in trust by such Person and paid over or delivered to the Subordination Agent for application as provided herein.

(b)    If any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider or the Subordination Agent receives any payment in respect of any obligations owing or amounts distributable hereunder (or, in the case of the Liquidity Providers, in respect of the Liquidity Obligations), which is subsequently invalidated, declared preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or other party, then, to the extent of such payment, such obligations or amounts (or, in the case of the Liquidity Providers, such Liquidity Obligations) intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect as if such payment had not been received.

(c)    The Trustees (on behalf of themselves and the holders of Certificates), the Liquidity Providers and the Subordination Agent expressly confirm and agree that the payment priorities and subordination specified in Articles II and III shall apply in all circumstances, notwithstanding (x) the fact that the obligations owed to the Trustees are secured by certain assets and the Liquidity Obligations may not be so secured or (y) the occurrence of an Airline Bankruptcy Event or any similar event or occurrence relating to any other Person (it being expressly agreed that the payment priorities and subordination specified in Articles II and III shall apply whether or not a claim for post-petition or post-filing interest is allowed in the proceedings resulting from such Airline Bankruptcy Event or other event or occurrence). The Trustees expressly agree (on behalf of themselves and the holders of Certificates) not to assert priority over the holders of Liquidity Obligations (except as specifically set forth in Section 3.02) due to their status as secured creditors in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other legal proceeding.

(d)    Each of the Trustees (on behalf of themselves and the holders of Certificates), the Liquidity Providers and the Subordination Agent may take any of the following actions without impairing its rights under this Agreement:

(i)    obtain a Lien on any property to secure any amounts owing to it hereunder, including, in the case of the Liquidity Providers, the Liquidity Obligations;

(ii)    obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any other obligor with respect to any amounts owing to it hereunder, including, in the case of the Liquidity Providers, any of the Liquidity Obligations;

(iii)    renew, extend, increase, alter or exchange any amounts owing to it hereunder, including, in the case of the Liquidity Providers, any of the Liquidity Obligations, or release or compromise any obligation of any obligor with respect thereto;

(iv)    refrain from exercising any right or remedy, or delay in exercising any right or remedy, which it may have; or

(v)    take any other action which might discharge a subordinated party or a surety under applicable law;

provided, however, that the taking of any such actions by any of the Trustees, the Liquidity Providers or the Subordination Agent shall not prejudice the rights or adversely affect the obligations of any other party under this Agreement.

Section 9.10    Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE.

Section 9.11    Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Waiver of Immunity. (a) Each of the parties hereto, to the extent it may do so under applicable law, for purposes hereof and of all other Operative Agreements hereby (i) irrevocably submits itself to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the City of New York and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the subject matter hereof or any of the transactions contemplated hereby brought by any party or parties hereto or thereto, or their successors or permitted assigns, (ii) waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof or any of the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by such courts, and (iii) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

(a)    EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND

THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims. Each of the parties warrants and represents that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with such legal counsel. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

(b)    To the extent that any Liquidity Provider or any of its properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, and whether under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (or any successor legislation) or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon this Agreement, including, without limitation, immunity from suit or service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal or execution of a judgment, or immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, each of the Class A Liquidity Provider and the Class B Liquidity Provider, hereby irrevocably and expressly waives any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States or elsewhere.

Section 9.12    Non-Petition. Each Liquidity Provider covenants that until one year and one day after the Equipment Notes have been paid in full, it shall not acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause or join in invoking or causing any Trust or any other Person to invoke the process of any governmental authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case (whether voluntary or not) against such Trust under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of such Trust or any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of such Trust.

Section 9.13    U.S.A. Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Subordination Agent, like all financial institutions, in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Subordination Agent. Each party to this Agreement agrees for itself that it will provide the Subordination Agent with such information relating to such party as it may reasonably request in order for the Subordination Agent to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.
