5.5                 Taxes

 

5.5.1              The amounts stated in this Agreement to be payable by the Buyer are exclusive of value added tax (“VAT”) chargeable under the laws of the country of the Delivery Location and accordingly the Buyer will pay any VAT chargeable in respect of supplies to the Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement.

 

5.5.2              The Seller will pay all other Taxes, duties or similar charges of any nature whatsoever levied, assessed, charged or collected for or in connection with the manufacture, assembly, sale and delivery of any of the Aircraft, services, instructions and data delivered or furnished under the Agreement provided such charges have been promulgated and are enforceable under the laws of the country of the Delivery Location of the Aircraft.

 

5.5.3              The Buyer will bear the costs of and pay any and all Taxes, duties or similar charges of any nature whatsoever, not assumed by the Seller under Clause 5.5.2, including but not limited to any duties or Taxes due upon or in relation to the importation or registration of the Aircraft in the Buyer’s or the relevant Operator’s country, as applicable, and/or any withholdings or deductions levied or required in the Buyer’s country in respect of the payment to the Seller of any amount due by the Buyer under this Agreement.

The amount of such compensation will be calculated using [*] on the amount of such overdue payment, counting from and including the due date of such payment up to  the day prior to the date such payment is received by the Seller. The Seller’s right to receive such interest will be in addition to any other rights of the Seller hereunder or at law.

 

5.8.2              If [*] Predelivery Payment(s) [*] remains unpaid following the date(s) on which such Predelivery Payment(s) is/(are) due [*] (the “Late Predelivery Payment”); the Seller will have, in addition to any remedy under the Agreement, no obligation to deliver any or all of the Aircraft remaining to be delivered under this Agreement within their respective Scheduled Delivery Month(s). Upon receipt of the full amount of all delayed Predelivery Payments, together with any amount due pursuant to Clause 5.8.1, the Seller will inform the Buyer of new Scheduled Delivery Month(s) consistent with the Seller’s other commitments and production capabilities.

 

 

5.9                 Proprietary Interest

 

Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the Buyer will not, by virtue of anything contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Commitment Fee or Predelivery Payments hereunder, or any designation or identification by the Seller of a particular aircraft as an Aircraft to which any of the provisions of this Agreement refers) acquire any proprietary, insurable or other interest whatsoever in any Aircraft before Delivery of and payment for such Aircraft, as provided in this Agreement.

10.1               The Seller and any Affiliate of the Seller will not be responsible or be deemed to be in default of its obligations under this Agreement on account of delays in delivery or failure to deliver or other delays or failures in the performance of this Agreement, any part hereof, due to causes reasonably beyond the Seller’s control or not occasioned by the Seller’s fault or negligence of which Seller has notified Buyer in accordance with this sub-Clause 10.1 (“Excusable Delay”), including but not being limited to: acts of God or the public enemy, natural disasters, fires, floods, explosions or earthquakes; epidemics or quarantine restrictions; serious accidents; total or constructive total loss; any law, decision, regulation, directive or other act (whether or not having the force of law) of any government or of the Council of the European Community or the Commission of the European Community or of any national, Federal, State, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency, court or instrumentality, domestic or foreign; governmental priorities or regulations or orders affecting allocation of materials or facilities or a completed Aircraft; war, civil war and warlike operations, terrorism, insurrection or riots; strikes or labor troubles causing cessation, slow down or interruption of work; delay after due and timely diligence in obtaining any airworthiness or type certification; inability after due and timely diligence to procure materials, accessories, equipment or parts; general hindrance in transportation. It is expressly understood and agreed that (i) any delay in delivery or otherwise in the performance of this Agreement by the Seller due in whole or in part to any delay in or failure of the delivery of, or any other event or circumstance relating to, the Propulsion Systems or Buyer Furnished Equipment or (ii) any delay caused by the Buyer’s negligence or the Buyer’s fault will each constitute Excusable Delay for the Seller. The Seller will as soon as practicable after becoming aware of any delay falling within the provisions of this sub-Clause 10.1 (i) exert all reasonable best efforts to minimize the effects of such occurrence, (ii) notify the Buyer of such delay and of the probable extent thereof and (iii) subject to the following provisions, as soon as practicable after the removal of the cause or causes for delay notify Buyer of the actual extent of the delay and resume the performance of those obligations affected under this Agreement. Seller will use due and timely diligence and all reasonable efforts to remove the cause or causes for delay.

 

10.2               In the event that the delivery of an Aircraft will be delayed by reason of an Excusable Delay for a period of more than [*] after the end of the calendar month in which delivery is otherwise required hereunder, [*] will be entitled to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft upon notice given to [*] within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such [*] period. In the event such delay will continue for an additional [*] period after the expiration of such [*] period, [*] will have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft upon notice given to [*] within thirty (30) days after the end of such additional [*] period. Such termination will discharge all obligations and liabilities of the parties hereunder with respect to such Aircraft, [*].

10.3               If the Seller concludes, based on its appraisal of the facts, that, due to Excusable Delay, delivery of an Aircraft will be delayed for a period of more than [*] after the end of the calendar month in which delivery is otherwise required (unless the Seller concludes that, by reason of any Excusable Delay, delivery of such Aircraft will not occur), and as a result thereof in good faith and in accordance with its normal scheduling procedures internally reschedules delivery of such Aircraft to a date reflecting such delays, the Seller will notify the Buyer in writing of such delay and rescheduling or, as the case may be, of such non-delivery, (i) in the event of such delay or non-delivery, Buyer may terminate this Agreement or (ii) in the event of such non-delivery Seller may terminate this Agreement as to such Aircraft in each case by giving written notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Buyer of such notice of anticipated delay. Such termination will discharge all obligations and liabilities of the Buyer and Seller hereunder to the extent related to such Aircraft, [*]. Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 19, the Buyer will not be entitled to [*] terminate this Agreement as to any Aircraft under this Clause 10 by reason of an Excusable Delay if such delay is caused by the negligence or fault of the Buyer or its representative.

 

10.4               If, following notice of an anticipated delay under sub-Clause 10.3, this Agreement, with respect to the affected Aircraft, is not terminated in accordance with the provisions of such sub-Clause, then the time of delivery otherwise required hereunder will be extended by a period equal to the delay specified in such notice.

 

10.5               If an event occurs prior to delivery of an Aircraft which could result in such Aircraft being lost, destroyed or damaged beyond economic repair (“Total Loss”), the Seller will immediately notify Buyer of the occurrence of such event with the understanding that the Seller is still making its determination of what consequences such event has on the Aircraft. Should the Aircraft be subject to a Total Loss prior to delivery further to such event, a further notice will specify the earliest date reasonably possible, consistent with the Seller’s other contractual commitments and production capabilities, by which the Seller would be able to deliver a replacement for such Aircraft. This Agreement will terminate as to such Aircraft unless the Buyer gives the Seller written notice, within forty-five (45) days after receipt by the Buyer of the notice from the Seller of such Total Loss, that the Buyer desires the Seller to manufacture and deliver to the Buyer a replacement for such Aircraft.

This Clause covers the terms and conditions of the warranty and service life policy.

 

12.1               Standard Warranty

 

12.1.1            Nature of Warranty

 

For the purpose of this Agreement the term “Warranted Part” will mean any Seller proprietary component, equipment, accessory or part or software, which is installed on an Aircraft at Delivery thereof and

(iv)  arising from failure to conform to the Specification, except to those portions of the Specification relating to performance or where it is expressly stated that such portions  are estimates or approximations or design aims.

 

12.1.2            Exclusions

 

The warranties set forth in Clause 12.1.1 will not apply to Buyer Furnished Equipment, nor to the Propulsion Systems, nor to any component, equipment, accessory or part installed on the Aircraft at Delivery that is not a Warranted Part except that:

 

(i)    any defect in the Seller’s workmanship in respect of the installation of such items in the Aircraft, including any failure by the Seller to conform to the installation instructions of the manufacturers of such items, that invalidates any applicable warranty from such manufacturers, will constitute a defect in workmanship for the purpose of this Clause 12.1 and be covered by the warranty set forth in Clause 12.1.1 (ii); and

 

(ii)   any defect inherent in the Seller’s design of the installation, in consideration of the state of the art at the date of such design, which impairs the use of such items, will constitute a defect in design for the purpose of this Clause 12.1 and be covered by the warranty set forth in Clause 12.1.1 (iii).

The Seller may alternatively furnish to the Buyer’s account with the Seller a credit for the future purchase of goods and services (not including Aircraft or aircraft) equal to the price at which the Buyer is entitled to purchase a replacement for the defective Warranted Part.

 

12.1.4.2          In the event of a defect covered by Clauses 12.1.1 (iii), 12.1.1 (iv) and 12.1.2 (ii) becoming apparent within the Warranty Period, the Seller will also, if so requested by the Buyer in writing, correct such defect in any Aircraft which has not yet been delivered to the Buyer, provided, however,

 

(i)    that the Seller will not be responsible, nor be deemed to be in default on account of any delay in Delivery of any Aircraft or otherwise in respect of the performance of this Agreement, due to the Seller’s undertaking to make such correction and provided further

(ii)   that, rather than accept a delay in the Delivery of any such Aircraft, the Buyer and the Seller may agree to deliver such Aircraft with subsequent correction of the defect by the Buyer at the Seller’s expense, or the Buyer may elect to accept Delivery and thereafter file a Warranty Claim as though the defect had become apparent immediately after Delivery of such Aircraft.

 

12.1.4.3          Cost of inspection

 

In addition to the remedies set forth in Clauses 12.1.4.1 and 12.1.4.2, the Seller will reimburse the direct labor costs incurred by the Buyer in performing inspections of the Aircraft to determine whether or not a defect exists in any Warranted Part within the Warranty Period subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)    such inspections are recommended by a Seller Service Bulletin to be performed within the Warranty Period;

 

(ii)   the reimbursement will not apply for any inspections performed as an alternative to accomplishing corrective action as recommended by the Seller when such corrective action has been made available to the Buyer and such corrective action could have reasonably been accomplished by the Buyer at the time such inspections are performed or earlier;

 

(iii)  the labor rate for the reimbursement will be the Inhouse Warranty Labor Rate; and

 

(iv)  the manhours used to determine such reimbursement will not exceed the Seller’s estimate of the manhours required for such inspections.

The Labor Index average and the Material Index average will be computed to the first decimal. If the next succeeding place is five (5) or more, the preceding decimal place will be raised to the next higher figure.

 

Each quotient [*] and [*] will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth (4 decimals). If the next succeeding place is five (5) or more, the preceding decimal place will be raised to the next higher figure.

 

The final factor [*] will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth (4 decimals).

Subject : EUROPEAN EXPORT CREDIT FINANCING

 

 

AIR LEASE CORPORATION (the “Buyer”) and AIRBUS S.A.S. (the “Seller”) have entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated March 3, 2015 which covers the manufacture and the sale by the Seller and the purchase by the Buyer of the Aircraft as described in the Agreement.

 

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Letter Agreement shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement.

 

Both parties agree that this Letter Agreement, upon execution thereof, shall constitute an integral, non-severable part of said Agreement and shall be governed by all its provisions, as such provisions have been specifically amended pursuant to this Letter Agreement.

 

[*]

 

Subject (i) to the approval of the European authorities responsible for export credits and (ii) to the unrestricted support of the Export Credit Agencies, an export credit facility (the “Facility”) in respect of an Aircraft as described hereafter may be granted to the Buyer (each such Aircraft hereafter referred to as a “Relevant Aircraft”).

 

The Facility shall include guarantees given by each Export Credit Agency in favour of international lending banks of recognised standing acceptable to the Export Credit Agencies (the “Banks).

 

The terms and conditions under which a Facility may be granted to the Buyer as at the date hereof are described in the attached Appendix A. Such terms and conditions are subject to amendment by the Export Credit Agencies and shall reflect the then prevailing terms of export credit for civil aircraft as governed by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”). Upon request, the Seller will provide the Buyer with the latest version of the Appendix A reflecting the prevailing terms at the time.

LETTER AGREEMENT N° 8

 

APPENDIX A

 

 

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Appendix shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement or as defined in the Sector Understanding on Export Credit for Civil Aircraft as entered into force on February 1, 2011 as may be further amended from time to time by the OECD.

 

Unless  otherwise  stated  or  decided  by  the  Export  Credit  Agencies  in  their  sole discretion, the following general terms and conditions shall apply to the Facility:

 

 

 

1         Purpose and Amount

 

The amount of the Facility shall be up to a maximum of eighty-five percent (85%) if the Buyer is in risk category 2 or below, up to a maximum of eighty percent (80%) if the Buyer is in risk category 1, or such lesser percentage as may be selected by the Buyer or imposed by the Export Credit Agencies, in each case of the Net Aircraft Price of the Relevant Aircraft.

 

The list of these risk categories is defined by experts nominated by the members of the OECD. Such list is confidential to the OECD members and is updated on an on-going basis. The risk classifications reflect the senior unsecured credit rating of the Buyer (see Table 1 in appendix).

 

The Net Aircraft Price shall be equal to the Final Price (as defined in the Agreement) of the Relevant Aircraft including the engines/propulsion systems (the “Engines”) installed on such Relevant Aircraft after taking into account all price discounts and other cash credits, less all other credits or concessions of any kind of the Seller and/or the selected engine/propulsion system manufacturer (the “Engine Manufacturer”) related or fairly allocable thereto.

 

Subject to the Export Credit Agencies’ prior approval, the Net Aircraft Price may include Buyer Furnished Equipment installed on the Relevant Aircraft in an amount agreed by the Export Credit Agencies.

 

As requested by the Export Credit Agencies, the Buyer shall provide the Seller with a declaration signed by the selected Engine Manufacturer, indicating the total amount of the credit memoranda made available to the Buyer with respect to the Engines installed on the relevant Aircraft.

 

2         Participation and Currencies

 

The level of participation in the Facility from the British, French and German Export Credit Agency shall depend on the aircraft type and the Engine selected by the Buyer.

 

The Buyer may select from the following eligible currencies the currency in which he wishes to denominate the Facility.

 

The currencies that are eligible for such Facility are Euros (“EUR”), Japanese Yen (“JPY”), UK Sterling Pounds (“GBP”), US Dollars (“USD”) and other fully convertible currencies for which there are market references.

LETTER AGREEMENT N° 8

 

3         Drawdowns and Payment to the Seller

 

The Facility relating to the Relevant Aircraft shall be drawn down upon delivery of such Relevant Aircraft and shall be disbursed directly to the Seller upon satisfactory presentation, inter alia, of the following documents:

 

(i)an aircraft invoice issued by the Seller and

(ii)the Certificate of Acceptance

 

in each case in respect of the Relevant Aircraft duly signed by a representative of the Buyer

 

Notwithstanding any decision by the Buyer to select a currency or currencies other than USD, the Seller shall receive the Final Price in USD at delivery of the Relevant Aircraft.

 

4         Term and Repayment of the Facility

 

The term of the Facility (the “Term”) shall not exceed twelve (12) years.

Unless otherwise decided by the Export Credit Agencies in their sole discretion, the British, French and German portions shall be repayable in a series of annuity style equal payments of rent in the case of a Lease Facility (as defined below) to amortise the Facility in respect of the Relevant Aircraft to zero over the Term.

 

There shall be no extension of the repayment Term by way of sharing of rights in the security on a pari passu basis with commercial lenders for the officially supported export credit.

 

The period between each payment shall be no greater than three (3) months and the first payment shall become payable no later than three (3) months after delivery of the Relevant Aircraft.

 

5         Interest

 

Interest on the Facility shall be payable in arrears on the unpaid balance of  principal, on the same date as and together with the instalments of principal except when lease payments in advance are requested as a Risk Mitigant (as defined below) and in the currency(ies) in which the Facility is denominated.

 

The rate of interest shall be negotiated directly with the Banks and shall be either a floating rate or a fixed rate. Subject to the Export Credit Agencies’ prior approval, the Facility may also include an option to switch from a floating rate to a fixed rate on terms and conditions to be defined.

 

6         Expenses and Taxes

 

The Buyer shall be responsible for all legal expenses, professional fees as well as taxes and other costs arising out of or in connection with the application for, the provision and administration of the Facility, including the Export Credit Agencies’ travel expenses related to the Buyer’s presentation and/or to the negotiation of the Facility, whether or not the Facility is actually used. All corporate and governmental approvals necessary for the performance of the Buyer’s obligations under the Facility shall be obtained by the Buyer so that the payment of all amounts due to the Banks shall be satisfied without delay, such payments to be without deduction on account of any existing or future withholding taxes, charges, levies or other duties whatsoever. If however any such deduction has to be made, the Buyer shall compensate the Banks for such deduction and shall obtain all necessary approvals for this purpose so that the Banks receive the same net amount as they would have received had no such deduction been made.

LETTER AGREEMENT N° 8

 

7         Security and Form of the Facility

 

As security for the repayment of the Facility, the Buyer shall provide a full security package satisfactory to the Export Credit Agencies and the Banks.

 

The standard form of the Facility shall be a finance lease (the “Lease Facility”). Under the Lease Facility, the Banks shall create a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”) which (i) shall receive title to the Relevant Aircraft pursuant to an assignment to the SPV of the relevant rights and obligations of the Buyer under the Agreement, and (ii) shall lease such Relevant Aircraft to the Buyer for the Term of the Facility.

 

Upon expiry of the Lease Facility and provided that no event of default has occurred or is continuing and provided no cross default and no cross collateralization have been called by the ECAs, the Buyer shall be entitled to purchase the Relevant Aircraft for the greater of the amount of 1$ and the outstanding amount due under the Lease Facility. Upon the exercise by the Buyer of the purchase option and payment of all amounts due under the Lease Facility, title to the Relevant Aircraft shall be transferred from the SPV to the Buyer simultaneously.

 

8         Premium

 

The premium to be paid up-front by the Buyer to the Export Credit Agencies in respect of the Facility shall be decided by the Export Credit Agencies. It shall be no less than the Minimum Premium Rates, or if the operator of the aircraft object (and, if different, the borrower/buyer or lessor if, in view of the government providing the official support, the structure of the transaction so warrants) is based in a State where the Cape Town Convention applies, the Minimum Premium Rates with a reduction of 10% [Table 1 sets out the current Minimum Premium Rates with and without the Cape Town discount.]

 

The Minimum Premium Rate incorporates (i) a Risk Based Rate which is reset every year to reflect Moody’s annual Loss Given Default over a four-year period, and (ii) a Market Reflective Surcharge which is adjusted every quarter.

 

The calculation of the Risk Based Rate depends on the risk classification of the Buyer. The premium payable is expressed as a percentage of the amount of the Facility granted by the Export Credit Agencies.

The Buyer may benefit from a 10% Premium reduction if the Buyer and the operator of the aircraft the subject of the ECA application is based in a jurisdiction that has ratified the Cape Town Convention with the qualifying declarations as defined by the OECD and has incorporated the Treaty in its set of domestic laws.

 

9         Main Terms of Financing

 

The Export Credit Agencies may, upon request of the Buyer, agree to provide financing support at or above the Minimum Premium Rate if all the conditions below are fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Export Credit Agencies and the Banks:

 

(i)an asset-backed transaction

(ii)a first priority security interest in the Relevant Aircraft

(iii)no more than 85% advance rate of the Net Aircraft Price (except if the Buyer is in risk category 1 in which case it is no more than 80%)

(iv)no less frequently than quarterly mortgage-style payments

(v)cross default and cross collateralization of all aircraft and engines owned legally and beneficially by the same parties under the proposed financing.
