2.1       Agreement to advance Loan

 

The Lenders, relying upon each of the representations and warranties in clause 9, agree to lend to the Borrower upon and subject to the terms of this Agreement a principal sum of up to the Maximum Loan Amount. The obligation of each Lender under this Agreement shall be to make its Lender’s Proportion of each Advance on the Drawdown Date of such Advance.

 

2.2       Obligations several

 

The obligations of each Lender under this Agreement are several; the failure of any Lender to perform such obligations shall not relieve any other Lender, the Agent or the Borrower of any of their respective obligations or liabilities under this Agreement nor shall the Agent be responsible for the obligations of any Lender (except for its own obligations, if any, as a Lender) nor shall any Lender be responsible for the obligations of any other Lender under this Agreement.

 

2.3       Conversion Rights

 

2.3.1     The Finance Parties acknowledge that, pursuant to the Conversion Rights, the Borrower has the right, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Purchase Agreement, to convert an A319-100 Aircraft to an A320-200 Aircraft and vice versa.

 

2.3.2     The Finance Parties agree to the exercise by the Borrower of the Conversion Rights in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, provided that:

(b)    the Manufacturer shall have provided to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) the revised configuration of the Converted Aircraft, together with the revised amounts of the relevant Pre-Delivery Payments for the Converted Aircraft;

 

(c)     unless the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Instructing Group) shall have otherwise agreed in writing, the exercise of such Conversion Right shall not cause more than eighty per cent (80%) of the Aircraft to be of the same type; and

 

10



 

(d)    the exercise of such Conversion Right shall not cause the Maximum Loan Amount to be increased.

 

2.3.3     Following the exercise by the Borrower of a Conversion Right in accordance with clause 2.3.2, the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower a replacement schedule 4. Such replacement schedule shall, when agreed by the Agent and the Borrower, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. Following such agreement by the Agent and the Borrower, all references in this Agreement to “schedule 4” shall be deemed to be a reference to such replacement schedule.

4.1       Drawdown

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement an Advance shall be made available to the Borrower following receipt by the Agent from the Borrower of a Drawdown Notice not later than 12 noon on the third Business Day before the proposed Drawdown Date.

4.2.1     Subject to clause 4.2.2 each Advance shall be made in respect of one Pre-Delivery Payment on or prior to the relevant Drawdown Date, and shall be for a maximum amount of the lesser of:

 

(a)     the amount of the relevant Pre-Delivery Payment less any relevant Equity Contribution; and

4.4       Termination of Commitment

 

Any part of the Commitment undrawn and uncancelled at the end of the Drawdown Period shall thereupon be automatically reduced to zero.

 

12



 

5          Interest and Interest Periods; alternative interest rates

 

5.1       Normal interest rate

 

Subject to clause 5.5, the Borrower shall pay interest on each Advance or, as the case may be, the Loan in respect of each Interest Period on the relevant Interest Payment Date at the rate per annum determined by the Agent to be the aggregate of (a) the Margin and (b) one month LIBOR.

 

5.2        Determination of Interest Periods

 

Subject to clause 5.5, each Interest Period shall be determined as follows:

 

5.2.1           the initial Interest Period in respect of the first Advance shall commence on the Drawdown Date therefor and have a duration of one month;

 

5.2.2           subject as otherwise provided in this clause 5.2, subsequent Interest Periods in respect of the first Advance shall commence on the expiry of the previous Interest Period therefor and shall have a duration of one month;

 

5.2.3           the initial Interest Period in respect of each subsequent Advance shall commence on the Drawdown Date therefor and shall end on the same day as the then current Interest Period for the first Advance ends; and

 

5.2.4           if the Interest Period for an Advance would otherwise overrun a Repayment Date for that Advance, such Interest Period shall terminate on that Repayment Date.

 

5.3       Interest for late payment

 

If the Borrower fails to pay any sum (including, without limitation, any sum payable pursuant to this clause 5.3) on its due date for payment under this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay interest on such sum from the due date up to the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgement) at a rate and for periods determined by the Agent pursuant to this clause 5.3. The period beginning on such due date and ending on such date of payment shall be divided into successive periods of not more than one month as selected by the Agent each of which (other than the first, which shall commence on such due date) shall commence on the last day of the preceding such period. The rate of interest applicable to each such period shall be the aggregate (as determined by the Agent) of (a) two per cent (2%), (b) the Margin, and (c) LIBOR. Interest under this clause 5.3 shall be due and payable on the last day of each period determined by the Agent pursuant to this clause 5.3 or, if earlier, on the date on which the sum in respect of which such interest is accruing shall actually be paid.

 

5.4       Notification of Interest Periods and interest rate

 

Unless expressly provided for in this Agreement, the Agent shall notify the Borrower promptly of the duration of each Interest Period or other period for the calculation of interest (or, as the case may be, default interest) and of each rate of interest determined under this clause 5.

 

5.5       Market disruption; non-availability

 

5.5.1     If and whenever, at any time prior to the commencement of any Interest Period, the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive) that:

 

(a)     adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period; or

 

(b)    deposits in Dollars are not available to the Lenders in the London Interbank Market in the ordinary course of business in sufficient amounts to fund the Loan for such Interest Period or that LIBOR does not accurately reflect the cost to the Lenders of obtaining such deposits,

 

13



 

the Agent shall forthwith give notice (a “Determination Notice”) to the Borrower. A Determination Notice shall contain particulars of the relevant circumstances giving rise to its issue. After the giving of any Determination Notice the undrawn amount of the Commitment shall not be borrowed until notice to the contrary is given to the Borrower by the Agent.

 

5.5.2     During the period of 15 days after any Determination Notice has been given by the Lender under clause 5.5.1, the Borrower shall enter into negotiations with a view to agreeing an alternative basis (the “Substitute Basis”) for making available or, as the case may be, maintaining the Loan. The Substitute Basis may (without limitation) include alternative interest periods, alternative currencies or alternative rates of interest but shall include a margin above the cost of funds reasonably available to the Lenders equivalent to the Margin. The Substitute Basis so certified shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall take effect in accordance with its terms from the date specified in the Determination Notice until such time as the Agent notifies the Borrower that none of the circumstances specified in clause 5.5.1 continues to exist (which the Agent shall do promptly upon any determination by the Agent that none of such circumstances continues to exist) whereupon the normal interest rate fixing provisions of this Agreement shall apply.

 

5.5.3     In the event that the Borrower and the Agent are unable to agree upon the Substitute Basis pursuant to the procedure set out in clause 5.5.2, the Substitute Basis shall be such alternative basis as the Agent shall certify, acting reasonably.

6.2.1           the Borrower shall have given the Agent as much notice as is practicably possible but in any event not less than ten (10) Business Days’ written notice prior to such Last Scheduled Delivery Date of the likelihood of such non-occurrence;

 

6.2.2           the Manufacturer shall have certified to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) such non-occurrence and the revised scheduled Delivery Date for that Aircraft; and

 

6.2.3           such deferral shall not cause the Loan to exceed the Maximum Loan Outstanding,

 

the Borrower shall be entitled, subject to the proviso below, by written notice to the Agent provided not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Last Scheduled Delivery Date for that Aircraft, to defer the Repayment Date for the Advance in respect of that Aircraft.

PROVIDED ALWAYS THAT the Repayment Date for the Advance in respect of an Aircraft may not be deferred to a date which is later than the earlier of the date falling three (3) months after the Last Scheduled Delivery Date for that Aircraft and the Final Repayment Date.

6.3.3           Purchase Agreement and Engine Agreements: the Purchase Agreement or any Engine Agreement is terminated or cancelled for any reason or otherwise ceases to constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto; or

 

6.3.4           Breach of Ownership Letter Agreement: AerCap Ireland fails to honour any demand made under any of the guarantees contained in the AerCap Ireland Ownership Letter or otherwise breaches any of the provisions of the Ownership Letter Agreement.

8.3       Grossing-up for Taxes

 

8.3.1     If at any time the Borrower is required to make any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment due under this Agreement for the account of a Finance Party, the sum due from the Borrower in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the relevant Finance Party receives on the due date for such payment (and retains, free from any liability in respect of such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made and the Borrower shall indemnify the relevant Finance Party against all losses, costs and expenses incurred by it by reason of any failure of the Borrower to make any such deduction or withholding or by reason of any increased payment not being made on the due date for such payment. The Borrower shall promptly deliver to the relevant Finance Party any receipts, certificates or other proof evidencing the amounts (if any) paid or payable in respect of any such deduction or withholding.

 

8.3.2     If the Borrower makes a payment under clause 8.3.1 and the relevant Finance Party determines that it has received or been granted a credit against or relief or remission for, or repayment of, any Tax paid or payable by it in respect of or which takes account of the deduction, withholding or other matter giving rise to such payment by the Borrower, the relevant Finance Party shall, to the extent it determines that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment, pay to the Borrower such amount as the relevant Finance Party shall have determined to be attributable to such deduction or withholding or other matter and which shall leave the relevant Finance Party (after such payment), in an after-Tax position which it determines to be no better or worse than it would have been in if the Borrower had not been required to make such deduction or withholding or such other matter had not arisen. Nothing herein contained shall:

 

17



 

(a)     interfere with the right of the relevant Finance Party to arrange its Tax or other affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit;

 

(b)    oblige the relevant Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its Tax or other affairs or any computations in respect thereof;

 

(c)     require the relevant Finance Party to do anything that it determines would or may prejudice its ability to benefit from any other credit, relief, remission or repayment to which it may be entitled; or

 

(d)    require the relevant Finance Party to give any priority as to the order in which it claims credits, relief, remissions and repayments or in which it allocates to any person or liability or class of persons or liabilities any credit, relief, remission or repayment.

 

8.3.3     If the relevant Finance Party makes any payment to the Borrower pursuant to clause 8.3.2 and such payment is subsequently reviewed by internal auditors to that Finance Party, acting in good faith and as experts, that the credit, relief, remission or repayment in respect of which such payment was made was not available or has been withdrawn or that it is unable to use such credit, relief, remission or repayment in full, the Borrower shall reimburse the relevant Finance Party such amount as the relevant Finance Party determines, in its sole opinion, is necessary to place it in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in if such credit, relief, remission or repayment had been obtained and fully used and retained by the relevant Finance Party.

 

8.4       General Tax indemnity

 

The Borrower shall indemnify the relevant Finance Party against the actual amount of all Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) imposed or asserted by any Government Entity or other competent authority against the relevant Finance Party with respect to: (a) the facility hereunder granted to the Borrower, the Loan, any Advance or the transactions contemplated by the Relevant Documents (or any of them) or (b) the Aircraft or the purchase, ownership or delivery thereof or (c) the Borrower engaging in business in, having or having had an office, branch or permanent establishment in, or being or having been a citizen or resident of, or domiciled in, or incorporated or created in or under the Applicable Laws of, the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes.

 

8.5       Partial payments

 

If, on any date on which a payment is due to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, the amount received from the Borrower falls short of the total amount of the payment due to be made by the Borrower on such date then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies available to the relevant Finance Party under this Agreement, the relevant Finance Party shall apply the amount actually received from the Borrower, or from the exercise of its rights and powers under the Relevant Documents at any time thereafter, in or towards discharge of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Relevant Documents in such order as circumscribed by the Trust Agreement, notwithstanding any appropriation made, or purported to be made, by the Borrower.

 

8.6       Calculations

 

All interest and other payments of an annual nature under this Agreement shall accrue from day to day and be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed and a 360 day year. In calculating the actual number of days elapsed in a period which is one of a series of consecutive periods with no interval between them or a period on the last day of which any payment falls to be made in respect of such period, the first day of such period shall be included but the last day excluded.

 

8.7       Certificates conclusive

 

Any certificate or determination of the Lenders as to any rate of interest or any amount payable

 

18



 

under this Agreement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding, as to the amount from time to time owing by the Borrower under this Agreement.

 

8.8    Excluded Taxes

 

The provisions of clauses 7.2, 7.3, 8.3 and 8.4 shall not apply, and the Borrower shall have no liability to any Indemnitee in respect of, any Tax or any increased payment which is an Excluded Tax.

 

9        Representations and warranties

 

9.1        The Borrower represents and warrants to the Finance Parties that:

 

9.1.1           Due incorporation

9.1.4           Pari passu status

28

(a)     any repayment or prepayment of all or part of any Advance being made otherwise than on an Interest Payment Date for that Advance; and

 

(b)    any Advance not being made for any reason after a Drawdown Notice has been given in respect thereof,

17        Illegality; increased costs; mitigation

 

17.1      Illegality

 

If, at any time as a consequence of a Change in Law:

 

17.1.1   it is or shall become unlawful, illegal, prohibited or contrary to any Applicable Law for any party to this Agreement or any of the other Relevant Documents to participate, or continue to participate in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Relevant Documents or to perform a material obligation under and/or give any required consent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Relevant Document or to continue as a party to this Agreement or any other Relevant Document;

 

17.1.2   all or any part of this Agreement or any other Relevant Document (other than the Purchase Agreement Assignment or an Engine Assignment) is or becomes void, illegal, invalid or unenforceable or of limited force and effect under any Applicable Law and the same would or might reasonably be expected to result in the rights, title and interests of the Finance Parties and the Borrower (or any of them) in and to the Aircraft and/or under any Relevant Document being materially adversely affected, based on advice received by the Security Trustee and shared with the Borrower from reputable legal counsel in the relevant jurisdictions; or

 

17.1.3   all or any part of the Purchase Agreement Assignment or an Engine Assignment is or becomes void, illegal, invalid or unenforceable or of limited force and effect under any Applicable Law,

 

then, without prejudice to the Borrower’s obligations and the rights of the Finance Parties in relation to the Aircraft and under the Relevant Documents, the affected party shall serve notice of such event on the other parties hereto and clause 17.4 shall apply and not later than the earlier of (a) the end of the consultation period referred to in clause 17.4 and (b) the date on which such Change in Law takes effect:

 

29



 

(a)        the obligations of the Lenders to advance the Loan shall be terminated and all Commitments shall be reduced to zero; and

 

(b)        the Borrower shall prepay the Loan together with all other amounts then due and owing under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

 

17.2     Increased costs

 

If the result of any Change in Law or Capital Adequacy Requirement is to:

 

17.2.1      increase the cost to, or impose an additional cost on, any Lender in maintaining its obligations under this Agreement, in each case, other than in respect of Taxes; and/or

 

17.2.2      reduce the amount payable or the effective return to any Lender under this Agreement, other than as a result of any Tax payable by such Lender,

 

then, and in each such case:

 

(a)     such Lender shall notify the Borrower through the Agent in writing of such event promptly upon its becoming aware of the same but in any case within three (3) months after the date on which the Lender first became aware of the circumstances giving rise to the Tax, increased cost, additional cost, reduction, payment or forgone return; and

 

(b)     the Borrower shall on demand pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender the amount (which shall not include Taxes) which such Lender specifies (in a certificate setting forth the basis of the computation of such amount but not including any matters which such Lender regards as confidential in relation to its funding arrangements) is required to compensate such Lender for such increased cost, additional cost, reduction, payment or forgone return.

 

17.3     Exclusions

 

The following are excluded from the Borrower’s agreement to indemnify any particular Lender under clause 17.2:

 

17.3.1      any Loss which relates to any loss of anticipated profit or return (including loss of Margin or margin);

 

17.3.2      any Loss which comprises the normal administrative costs and expenses of any Lender (but excluding any such expenses caused directly by, or incurred after, the occurrence of an Event of Default); or

 

17.3.3      any Loss which arises from an act or omission which constitutes gross negligence or wilful default by such Lender.

 

PROVIDED FURTHER THAT a Lender shall not be entitled to make any claim to be indemnified for any Loss pursuant to clause 17.2 to the extent that it is actually compensated therefor by any party in accordance with any other provision of the Relevant Documents.

 

17.4     Mitigation

 

If circumstances arise which would, or would upon the giving of notice, result in:

 

17.4.1      the Borrower being required to make an increased payment to a Lender pursuant to clause 8.3.1;

 

17.4.2      the reduction of a Lender’s Commitment to zero or the Borrower being required to prepay the Loan pursuant to clause 17.1; or

 

30



 

17.4.3      the Borrower being required to make a payment to a Lender to compensate a Lender for a liability to Taxes, increased or additional cost, reduction, payment, forgone return or loss pursuant to clause 17.2,

 

then, without in any way limiting, reducing or otherwise qualifying the obligations of the Borrower under clause 8 and this clause 17, the Lenders and the Borrower, each acting in good faith, shall consult for a maximum period of thirty (30) days with a view to identifying what (if any) reasonable steps are open to them to mitigate or remove such circumstances, provided however that a Lender shall not be obliged to take any such steps if to do so might (in the opinion of that Lender) be prejudicial to itself or be in conflict with its’ general banking policies or involve it in expense or an increased administrative burden unless it is indemnified to its satisfaction by the Borrower for such expenses or the costs associated with such increased administrative burden. All costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Finance Parties in connection with such consultation process and any resultant mitigating action shall be for the account of the Borrower.
