		(ii)	the Head Lessee receives from the Lessee an assignment of insurances and/or an assignment of re-insurances in respect of the Insurances,

		then the Head Lessee shall notify the Lessor and the Relevant Agent and shall, if requested by the Lessor or the Relevant Agent, as soon as reasonably practical enter into such assignment agreement with respect to the Insurances as the Lessor or the Relevant Agent may reasonably request in order to assign to the Lessor and the

		(i)	each Lease shall contain provisions corresponding to those stated in clause 20.6 (Repairable Damage) of the Model Lease;

		(ii)	subject to paragraph (b)(iii) below all insurance proceeds occurring during the Head Lease Period not constituting a Total Loss shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Lease corresponding to clause 20.6 (Repairable Damage) of the Model Lease, provided that if a Significant Default has occurred and is continuing the Head Lessee shall not give its approval for the release of any such insurance proceeds equalling or exceeding the Damage Notification Threshold without the prior written consent of the Lessor and the Relevant Agent;

		(iii)	subject to paragraph (c) below, if a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all insurance proceeds occurring during the Head Lease Period not constituting a Total Loss and equalling or exceeding the Damage Notification Threshold will be paid to Relevant Agent for application in payment (or to reimburse the Head Lessee or the Lessee, as the case may be) for repairs or replacement property upon the Lessor being satisfied that the repairs or replacement have been effected in accordance with this Agreement;

	(c)	Liability Proceeds: all insurance proceeds in respect of third party liability will, except to the extent paid by the insurers to the relevant third party, be paid to the Relevant Agent to be paid directly in satisfaction of the relevant liability or to the Head Lessee in reimbursement of any payment so made; and

Dear Sirs

Air Navigation Charges: one (1) Airbus A** aircraft bearing manufacturer's serial number ** and current registration mark **

We have leased one (1) Airbus A** aircraft bearing manufacturer's serial number ** and current registration mark ** (the Aircraft) from CIT Aerospace International (the Lessor). The Lessor has leased the Aircraft from Madeleine Leasing Limited (the Owner) and the Aircraft is subject to a mortgage in favour of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. in its capacity as security trustee on behalf of certain financial institutions (in such capacity, the Security Trustee).

We wish to enable the Lessor, the Owner and the Security Trustee to monitor the value of air navigation charged incurred by us in relation to the Aircraft and all other aircraft operated by us.

To this end, we hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorise you, on request by the Lessor, the Owner or the Security Trustee from time to time, to provide the Lessor, the Owner and the Security Trustee with a general statement of account in relation to charges incurred by us due to Eurocontrol. We hereby undertake to reimburse you in respect of any extra costs which you may incur as a result of providing such general statements of account or other information to the Lessor, the Owner or the Security Trustee.

This authorisation may only be revoked by a written instruction signed by the Lessor, the Owner and the Security Trustee.

Please sign and return to us a copy of this letter to indicate (or otherwise acknowledge) your acceptance of the above instruction.

Yours faithfully

duly authorised for and on behalf of
[Lessee]
