3.              TERM, RENT AND PAYMENT:

a.                                      The rent (“Rent”) payable for the Aircraft and LP’s right to use the Aircraft begins on the date that both parties have signed and delivered the Memorandum of Delivery (“Commencement Date”). The term of this Lease will commence on the Commencement Date and will continue, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, until and including the Expiration Date stated in Annex B (“Term”). If the Term is extended or renewed, the word “Term” will be deemed to refer to all extended or renewal terms, and all provisions of this Lease will apply during any such extension or renewal terms, except as may be otherwise specifically provided in writing.

b.                                      LP will pay rent to MCM by electronic transfer (e.g., Fedwire or ACH) to an account with a bank located in the United States using instructions provided by MCM in writing.

If MCM does not receive from LP payment in full of any Rent or other payment due hereunder within 10 days of the due date therefor, LP will pay a late charge of five percent of the amount due in addition to, the amount of such Rent, but not exceeding the lawful maximum, if any. Such late fee will be immediately due and payable, and is in addition to any other costs, fees and expenses that LP may owe as a result of such late payment.

4.              TAXES AND FEES:

a.                                      If permitted by law, LP will report and pay promptly all taxes, fees and assessments due, imposed, assessed or levied against the Aircraft (or, ownership, delivery under this Lease, leasing under this Lease, possession or use under this Lease or operation thereof), this Lease (or any rents or receipts hereunder), MCM or LP, by any domestic or foreign governmental entity or taxing authority during or related to the Term, including all license and registration fees, and all sales, use, personal property, excise, gross receipts, franchise, stamp, value added, custom duties, landing fees, airport charges, navigation service charges, route navigation charges or other taxes, imposts, duties and charges, together with any penalties, fines or interest thereon (collectively “LP Taxes”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, LP will have no liability for Taxes imposed (i) by the

3

United States of America or any state or political subdivision thereof which are on or measured by the net income, capital, net worth or franchise of MCM or similar conduct of business taxes, (ii) as a result of the transfer, pledge or other disposition by MCM (or its assigns) of the Aircraft or of any interest therein (including any withholding taxes) other than transfers, pledges or dispositions made to LP as a result of the exercise by LP of its purchase rights hereunder or any transfer, pledge or disposition requested by LP not in accordance with the provisions set forth herein that MCM may choose to accommodate or any transfer, pledge or disposition made after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default by LP hereunder, (iii) as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of MCM, (iv) any act or omission of MCM in breach of the express provisions of this Lease, (v) MCM’s failure to claim any exemption and provide information and documentation to any taxing authority, in each case as reasonably requested in good faith by LP in writing; (vi) MCM’ s failure to file any return or report in a timely or proper manner, except to the extent such return or report is deemed not to have been filed in a proper manner as a result of MCM’s filing such return or report without information or documents that any applicable governmental or taxing authority has requested that MCM (to the extent such request was not also sent to the LP by such applicable governmental or taxing authority) timely requested from LP and that LP failed to provide to MCM; or (vii) with respect to any period occurring, in whole or in part, prior to or after the Term; (viii) with respect to any lease other than this Lease. LP will promptly reimburse (on an after-tax basis) MCM for any LP Taxes for which LP is responsible charged to or assessed against and paid by MCM.

b.                                      MCM will report and pay promptly all taxes, fees and assessments due, imposed, assessed or levied against the Aircraft (or, ownership, purchase, delivery under any lease other than this Lease, leasing under any lease other than this Lease, possession or use under any lease other than this Lease or operation thereof), any lease other than this Lease (or any rents or receipts thereunder), MCM or LP, by any domestic or foreign governmental entity or taxing authority prior to, after or related to a period other the Term, including all license and registration fees, and all sales, use, personal property, excise, gross receipts, franchise, stamp, value added, custom duties, landing fees, airport charges, navigation service charges, route navigation charges or other taxes, imposts, duties and charges, together with any penalties, fines or interest thereon (collectively “MCM Taxes”). MCM will promptly reimburse (on an after tax basis) LP for any MCM Taxes for which LP is responsible charged to or assessed against and paid by LP.

c.                                       LP will show MCM as the owner of the Aircraft on all tax reports or returns filed by LP where required or appropriate to show the ownership of the Aircraft, and send MCM a copy of each such report or return and evidence of LP’ s payment of LP Taxes for which LP is responsible upon request. MCM will send LP evidence of MCM’s payment of MCM Taxes upon request.

d.                                      To the extent any taxing jurisdiction makes a claim against MCM for any LP Taxes for which LP is liable under section 4.a, LP may contest in good faith in its own name such claim only so long as there is no continuing Event of Default by LP under this Lease and taking such action does not subject the Aircraft to attachment, foreclosure, or repossession by the taxing authority or subject MCM to any risk of the imposition any criminal penalties. If LP wishes to contest such LP Taxes, then at such time during such contest that such LP Taxes otherwise would be required to be paid, LP will post a bond in the amount of such LP Taxes being contested and indemnify MCM for all sums MCM may be obligated to pay if LP does not prevail in such contest. To the extent it is not possible for LP to contest such LP Taxes in its own name, LP may request MCM to contest such LP Taxes and MCM will be obligated to do so, provided that in addition to LP posting the bond if required pursuant to and consistent with this section 4.d, (1) in the opinion of independent tax counsel selected by MCM the basis in law and fact makes it more probable than not that MCM will prevail, (2) LP agrees to pay MCM (or, as directed by MCM, on MCM’s behalf) on demand all reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and disbursements of independent tax counsel) incurred by MCM in connection with taking such action, and (3) LP agrees to indemnify MCM for all sums MCM may be obligated to pay if MCM does not prevail in such contest.

e.                                       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time during the tax contest the Aircraft becomes subject to attachment, foreclosure or repossession by the taxing authority due to non-payment of the LP Taxes for which LP is liable under section 4.a and associated charges, LP will promptly pay such Tax and charges.

f.                                        All of the rights, privileges and indemnities of MCM and LP contained in this section 4 will survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The rights, privileges and indemnities contained herein are expressly made for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by MCM and LP, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

a.                                      Prior to the Closing, MCM will provide LP with a current and valid Certificate of Aircraft Registration (AC Form 8050-3) for the Aircraft evidencing the Aircraft’s registration with the FAA Civil Aviation Registry in the name of MCM. LP will not register the Aircraft under the laws of any other country. LP will not consent to the registration of any other international interest or any IDERA with respect to the Aircraft to be filed with the International Registry, the FAA or any other registry, except for the registration of the international interest in favor of MCM created by, and the Documents executed in connection with, this Lease. No international interest created in favor of MCM will be discharged except as provided in section 20.c.

b.                                      Except as expressly provided in sections 1.g, 4.b or 14.b, the possession, use and operation of the Aircraft during the Term will be at the sole risk and expense of LP. LP acknowledges that it accepts full “operational control” of the Aircraft (as defined in the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FAR”). LP agrees that the Aircraft will be used and operated: (i) in compliance with all statutes, laws, ordinances, and regulations issued by any governmental agency applicable to the use or operation thereof; (ii) in compliance with all airworthiness certificates, licenses or registrations relating to the Aircraft issued by any agency required for operation by LP hereunder of which LP has actual or constructive notice; (iii) in compliance with all applicable safety and security regulations of the FAA and similar applicable government regulations relating to aircraft security, including those of the Transportation Security Administration; and (iv) in a manner that does not modify or impair any existing warranties on the Aircraft or any part thereof. LP’ s intention on the Commencement Date is to operate the Aircraft predominantly in the conduct of its business (provided, however, any failure to operate the Aircraft predominantly in the conduct of its business will not be deemed an Event of Default hereunder; provided further that by waiving such Event of Default MCM does not waive any right it might have with respect to any indemnity payment in connection with such failure) and will not use or operate, or permit the Aircraft to be used or operated, (aa) in violation of any United States export control law, or (bb) in a

5

manner, for any time period, such that any party other than the manufacturer or a maintenance facility will be deemed to have “operational control” of the Aircraft or (cc) for the transport of mail or contraband. The Aircraft will, at all times be operated by duly qualified pilots holding any certificate, rating, type rating or endorsement required for the operation of the Aircraft, purpose of flight, condition of flight or as otherwise required by the FAR or any insurance policies required hereunder. The Aircraft’s pilots will be employed and/or paid or contracted for by LP, will meet all recency of flight requirements and will meet the requirements specified by the insurance policies required under this Lease and the FAA. LP will not relocate the primary hangar location to a place outside the United States. MCM may examine and inspect the Aircraft, wherever located, on land, after giving LP reasonable prior notice. The AC Form 8050-3 provided by MCM will be kept on the Aircraft at all times while the Aircraft is in operation during the Term.

c.                                       NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, AT NO TIME DURING THE TERM WILL LP OPERATE OR LOCATE THE AIRCRAFT, OR ALLOW THE AIRCRAFT TO BE OPERATED OR LOCATED IN OR OVER (i) ANY COUNTRY OR JURISDICTION THAT DOES NOT MAINTAIN FULL DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES (EXCEPT THAT LP MAY FLY OVER CUBA SO LONG AS LP IS FLYING IN ESTABLISHED AND CUSTOMARY FLIGHT ROUTES APPLICABLE TO US AIRCRAFT AND LP MAY FLY TO TAIWAN SO LONG AS TAIWAN HAS AT LEAST THE CURRENT DIPLOMATIC STATUS WITH THE UNITED STATES AS IT HAS ON THE DATE HEREOF), (ii) ANY GEOGRAPHIC AREA WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY THE INSURANCE POLICIES REQUIRED BY THIS LEASE, OR (iii) ANY JURISDICTION WHEREIN THE OPERATION OR LOCATION THEREOF WOULD VIOLATE ANY APPLICABLE LAW, REGULATION, OR RESTRICTION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE U.S. EXPORT ADMINISTRATION REGULATIONS, THE U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC IN ARMS REGULATIONS AND THE REGULATIONS OF THE OFFICE OF FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL (“OFAC”), DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY.

d.                                      MCM will not, and will not permit any party claiming through MCM to, disturb LP’s quiet enjoyment of the Aircraft during the Term unless an Event of Default by LP has occurred and is continuing under this Lease.

7.              MAINTENANCE:

a.                                      LP will cause the Aircraft to be maintained in compliance with all statutes, laws, ordinances, regulations and standards or directives issued by any governmental agency applicable to the maintenance thereof, in compliance with any airworthiness certificate, license or registration relating to the Aircraft issued by any agency required for operation by LP hereunder of which LP has actual or constructive notice and in a manner that does not modify or impair any existing warranties on the Aircraft or any part thereof.

b.                                      LP will cause the maintenance, inspection, servicing, repairing, overhauling and testing of the Aircraft (including each engine) to be performed in accordance with (i) all applicable maintenance manuals issued by the manufacturer, including any subsequent amendments or supplements to such manuals issued by the manufacturer from time to time, (ii) all mandatory or otherwise required service bulletins issued, supplied, or available by or through the manufacturer and/or the manufacturer of any engine or part with respect to the Aircraft and (iii) all airworthiness directives applicable to the Aircraft issued by the FAA or similar regulatory agency having jurisdictional authority, and causing compliance with such directives to be completed through available corrective modification in lieu of operating manual restrictions. LP will maintain all records, logs and other materials relating to the Aircraft or the engines required by the manufacturer for enforcement of any warranties, any vendor under any Support Contract or by the FAA. All maintenance procedures required hereby will be undertaken and completed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended procedures, and by properly certificated maintenance sources, so as to keep the Aircraft and each engine in as good operating condition as when delivered to LP hereunder, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and so as to keep the Aircraft in such operating condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of such Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times under the FAA.

c.                                       LP agrees, at its own cost and expense, to (i) cause the Aircraft and each engine thereon to be kept numbered with the identification in serial number therefor as specified in Annex A; (ii) display on the Aircraft in accordance with the FAR the N number specified in Annex A; and (iii) notify MCM in writing 30 days prior to making any change in the configuration (other than changes in configuration mandated by the FAA, the FAR or sections 7.a or 7.b), appearance and coloring of the Aircraft from that in effect at the time the Aircraft is accepted by LP hereunder. In the event of such change or modification of configuration, coloring or appearance (unless such change, or modification of configuration, coloring or appearance is or has

6

been approved in writing by MCM, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), LP agrees, at its own cost and expense, to restore, upon request of MCM, the Aircraft to the configuration, coloring or appearance in effect on the Commencement Date or, at MCM’s option, to pay to MCM an amount equal to the reasonable cost of such restoration. LP will replace promptly any such N number which may be removed, defaced or destroyed.

d.                                      LP is entitled from time to time during the Term to acquire and install on the Aircraft at LP’s expense, any additional accessory, device or equipment (each, an “Optional Improvement”) as LP may desire, but only so long as such Optional Improvement (i) is ancillary to the Aircraft; (ii) is not required to render the Aircraft complete for its intended use as an aircraft; (iii) does not impair the originally intended function or use of the Aircraft; and (iv) can be readily removed without causing material damage. Title to each Optional Improvement which is not removed by LP prior to the return of the Aircraft to MCM will vest in MCM upon such return. LP will repair all damage to the Aircraft resulting from the installation or removal of any Optional Improvement so as to restore the Aircraft to its condition prior to installation, ordinary wear and tear excepted. LP may install on the Aircraft temporary parts or components for the purpose of continuing to operate the Aircraft while a part or component of the Aircraft is being inspected, overhauled or repaired; provided that such temporary parts or components can be readily removed without causing material damage (all such temporary parts and components, “Loaners”).

e.                                       LP will, at its own expense, promptly make any repair, alteration or modification of the Aircraft (i) that is necessary or advisable to comply with LP’s obligations pursuant to this Lease or (ii) may be required to comply with any applicable law or any applicable governmental rule or regulation (each, a “Required Improvement”). Any repair made by LP of or upon the Aircraft or replacement parts, including any Replacement Engine, but excluding any Loaners, installed thereon in the course of repairing or maintaining the Aircraft, or any Required Improvement (other than Loaners), will, once installed on the Aircraft, be deemed an accession to the Aircraft, and title thereto will immediately vest in MCM and LP will provide all documentation reasonably requested by MCM evidencing same, all at LP’s sole cost and expense.

f.                                        Except as required or permitted under this section 7, LP will not, without MCM’s prior written consent, modify the Aircraft or affix or remove any part, component, engine or accessory to the Aircraft or to make any permanent non-removable improvements to the Aircraft leased hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, LP will not, without obtaining the applicable licenses, including licenses for MCM as required by law, install any accessory, device or equipment that is a “defense article” (as such term is defined under the Arms Export Control Act or the International Traffic in Arms Regulation) or alter or modify the Aircraft in any way that would render the Aircraft a “defense article” (as such term is defined under the Arms Export Control Act or the International Traffic in Arms Regulation).

g.                                       LP expressly assumes sole and exclusive responsibility for the determination and implementation of all security measures and systems necessary or appropriate for the protection of the Aircraft (whether on the ground or in flight) against theft, vandalism, hijacking, destruction, bombing, terrorism or similar acts directly or indirectly affecting the Aircraft, any part thereof, or any persons who (whether or not on board the Aircraft) may sustain any injury or damage as a result of any such acts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and acknowledged that LP, being in sole “operational control” of the Aircraft, is, as between MCM and LP, uniquely in a position to identify and implement those security measures necessary to comply with this section 7 and that in doing so, LP has not relied upon, and will not rely upon, any statement, act, or omission of MCM.

8.              LIENS, SUBLEASE AND ASSIGNMENT:

a.                                      LP WILL NOT SELL, TRANSFER, ASSIGN OR ENCUMBER THE AIRCRAFT, ANY ENGINE OR ANY PART THEREOF, OWNER’S TITLE OR MCM’s or LP’S RIGHTS UNDER THIS SUBLEASE. LP WILL NOT, WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF MCM, (I) SUBLET OR CHARTER THE AIRCRAFT, OR ANY ENGINE (EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PERMITTED HEREUNDER), (II) PART WITH POSSESSION OF THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY ENGINE OR PART THEREOF (UNLESS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MAINTENANCE REQUIRED BY THIS SUBLEASE, INCLUDING ANNEX E) OR (III) ENTER INTO ANY POOLING ARRANGEMENTS. LP will not permit any engine to be used on any other aircraft. LP will keep the Aircraft, each engine and any part thereof free and clear of all liens, security interests, international interests, and encumbrances (including non-consensual liens registered with the International Registry or otherwise), whether or not such are registered or filed with the FAA or the International Registry or elsewhere (collectively, “Liens”) other than those that result from (i) the respective rights of MCM and LP as herein provided; (ii) the acts or the negligent omissions of MCM; (iii) liens for taxes not yet due; and (iv) inchoate materialmen’s, mechanics’, workmen’s,

7

repairmen’s, employees’ or other like liens arising in the ordinary course of business of LP for sums not yet delinquent or being contested in good faith (and for the payment of which adequate assurances in MCM’s reasonable judgment have been provided to MCM) (such Liens described in clauses (i) through (iv), “Permitted Liens”). LP will immediately take all necessary actions to remove any Liens (other than Permitted Liens) on or with respect to the Aircraft.

b.                                      MCM and any assignee of MCM will have the right to assign this Lease, or any part hereof and/or the Aircraft; provided that (i) the assignee has assumed MCM’ s obligations under this Lease, (ii) such assignment does not impair LP’ s rights and interests in the Aircraft and this Lease, (iii) such assignment does not increase any indemnity or other obligation of LP under this Lease, whether by an increase in the amount of any indemnity payable under this Lease or otherwise, (iv) MCM reimburses LP for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and costs, incurred in connection with such assignment and (v) LP will have no obligation to the assignee until it receives notice of such assignment. LP hereby waives and agrees not to assert against any such permitted assignee, or such permitted assignee’s permitted assigns, any defense, set-off, recoupment claim or counterclaim that LP may at any time have against MCM for any reason whatsoever. LP agrees that if LP receives written notice of a permitted assignment from MCM, LP will thereafter pay all Rent and all other amounts payable under this Lease to the permitted assignee or as instructed by MCM. LP agrees to confirm in writing receipt of the notice of assignment as may be reasonably requested by the assignor or assignee and will cooperate with MCM and any such permitted assignee in delivering to such permitted assignee a certificate of insurance reflecting such permitted assignee as loss payee, as its interests may appear, and additional insured in accordance with this Lease. The rights, privileges and indemnities contained in this Lease are expressly made for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by MCM, its successors and permitted assigns. In connection with any assignment of the Lease by MCM or any assigns of MCM, LP agrees to cooperate with MCM (i) to permit MCM to consummate a sale of the Aircraft within 30 days of notice by MCM to LP of the proposed sale, (ii) to locate the Aircraft at the time of such sale of the Aircraft in a jurisdiction of MCM’ s choosing and to return it to, at LP’ s election, (a) its primary hangar location or (b) its location prior to being flown to such jurisdiction of MCM’s choosing and (iii) to time the sale of the Aircraft so as to minimize any interference with LP’s usage of the Aircraft; provided that MCM reimburses LP for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and costs, incurred in connection with such assignment by MCM and such movement of the Aircraft.

9.              LOSS, DAMAGE AND STIPULATED LOSS VALUE:

LP hereby assumes and will bear the entire risk of any loss, theft, confiscation, expropriation, requisition, damage to, or destruction, following the Closing, of, the Aircraft, any engine or part thereof from any cause whatsoever, including intentional criminal acts and acts of terrorism but not including the gross negligence or willful misconduct of MCM. If, following the Closing, for any reason other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of MCM the Aircraft, or any engine thereto becomes worn out, lost, stolen, confiscated, expropriated, requisitioned, destroyed, irreparably damaged, rendered inaccessible (geographically or otherwise) for at least 180 days or unusable (“Casualty Occurrences”), LP will promptly and fully notify MCM in writing. If, in the reasonable opinion of MCM, a Casualty Occurrence has occurred that affects only the engine(s) of the Aircraft, then LP, at its own cost and expense, will replace such engine(s) with a replacement engine(s) of the same make, model and fair market value as the engine being replaced reasonably acceptable to MCM (the “Replacement Engine”) and cause title to such Replacement Engine(s) to be transferred to MCM for lease to LP under this Lease (and appropriate filings to be made showing title transfer of such Replacement Engine to MCM, if applicable) and MCM will acquire title to the Replacement Engine(s) subject to no liens or international registrations (except Permitted Liens). Upon transfer of title to MCM of such Replacement Engine(s), such Replacement Engine(s) will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, and LP will execute whatever documents or filings are necessary or reasonably appropriate in connection with the substitution of such Replacement Engine(s) for the original engine(s), and LP will cooperate with MCM’s registration of its title to the Replacement Engine with the International Registry. If, in the reasonable opinion of MCM, a Casualty Occurrence has occurred with respect to the Aircraft in its entirety, on the next Rent Payment Date after such Casualty Occurrence (the “Payment Date”), LP will pay MCM the sum of (i) the Insurance Stipulated Loss Value as set forth in Annex D calculated as of the Rent Payment Date prior to such Casualty Occurrence; and (ii) all Rent and other amounts which are due under this Lease as of the Payment Date. To the extent that MCM has received any insurance proceeds as a result of claims for any Casualty Occurrence, such payments will be credited toward the following: first, to pay any expense or cost of MCM in obtaining any such payment or otherwise due hereunder, second, to pay any Rent due and owing hereunder, and third to pay any Insurance Stipulated Loss Value due hereunder. Upon payment of all sums due hereunder, this Lease will terminate (except for the provisions hereof which by their terms survive any termination of this Lease) and LP will have no further right to use or operate the Aircraft; provided, however, that, subject to the rights of the insurer, (i) LP will be entitled to (a) remove any Optional Improvements or (b) subject to paying

8

MCM the fair market value of the salvage (not including the fair market value attributable to the Optional Improvements), the salvage, (ii) MCM will transfer to or at the direction of LP all of MCM’s right, title and interest in any engine constituting part of the Aircraft that was not installed on the Aircraft, free and clear of any interest of MCM and (iii) LP will be subrogated to all claims of MCM against third parties (other than insurers of MCM under policies independently maintained at its own cost and expense) in connection with any Casualty Occurrence. If the Aircraft or any engine or part thereof sustains any reparable damage, LP will repair such damage in good workmanlike manner so as to restore the Aircraft, engine or part thereof to the condition it was in (assuming LP had complied with the provisions of this Lease) prior to the occurrence of any such damage.

10.       INSURANCE:

LP will secure and maintain in effect at its own expense throughout the Term insurance against such hazards and for such risks as MCM may require. All such insurance will be with companies satisfactory to MCM. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, LP will maintain (i) liability insurance covering public liability and property, cargo and sudden accidental pollution coverage, in amounts not less than $200,000,000 for any single occurrence; (ii) all-risk aircraft hull and engine insurance (including, with respect to engine or part thereof while removed from the Aircraft and foreign object damage insurance) in an amount which is not less than the then Insurance Stipulated Loss Value as set forth on Annex D; and (iii) confiscation, expropriation and war risk, hijacking and allied perils insurance (which insurance will include coverage against acts of terrorism and similar criminal acts) in an amount which is (x) for physical damage, not less than the then Insurance Stipulated Loss Value, and (y) for liability coverage, not less than $200,000,000 for any single occurrence. All insurance will: (1) name MCM as owner of the Aircraft, (2) name MCM as loss payee as its interests may appear and additional insured (without responsibility for premiums), (3) provide that any cancellation or substantial change in coverage will not be effective as to MCM for 30 days (and, with respect to war risk insurance, seven days [except with respect to hostile detonations, two days] or such shorter period as will be customary on the London market for such insurance in such area of the world) after receipt by MCM of written notice from the insurer of such cancellation or change, (4) insure MCM’s interests regardless of any breach of warranty or other violation by LP of any declaration or condition in such policies, (5) include a severability of interest clause providing that such policy will operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured, (6) waive any right of set-off against LP or MCM, and any rights of subrogation against MCM, and (7) be primary and not be subject to any offset by any other insurance carried by MCM or LP. LP hereby appoints MCM as LP’s attorney-in-fact to make proof of loss and claim for and to receive payment of and to execute or endorse all documents, checks or drafts in connection with all policies of insurance in respect of the Aircraft. MCM will not act as LP’s attorney-in-fact unless there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default by LP. LP will pay any reasonable expenses of MCM in adjusting or collecting insurance proceeds if there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default by LP. To the extent MCM receives any insurance proceeds and no Event of Default by LP hereunder has occurred and is continuing, MCM will cause such insurance proceeds to be paid to LP. To the extent MCM receives any insurance proceeds and there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default by LP hereunder, MCM will, at its option, cause such proceeds of insurance to be applied, in whole or in part, to (A) repair the Aircraft, or repair or replace any part thereof and/or (B) satisfy any obligation of LP to MCM under this Lease. To the extent that MCM has received any insurance payments as a result of a Casualty Occurrence with respect to the Aircraft in its entirety, such payments will be credited toward LP’s obligations pursuant to section 9, and MCM will pay LP an amount equal to the excess of such insurance payments over the amount of LP’s obligations pursuant to section 9.

11.       RETURN OF AIRCRAFT:

a.                                      Upon the date this Lease expires or terminates (including any termination occurring during the continuation of or in connection with an Event of Default by LP hereunder) other than a termination resulting from a Casualty Occurrence (the “Return Date”), LP will return the Aircraft to MCM, free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens, at a location within the continental United States selected by MCM. LP will also return all Aircraft Documents; non-financial records of the inspection, modification and overhaul of the Aircraft that any operator of the Aircraft that is not an air carrier would be required to maintain; loose equipment associated with the Aircraft; and with a currently effective FAA standard airworthiness certificate. Upon such return, LP and MCM will each execute and deliver a Memorandum of Delivery in the form of Annex F. Effective upon such return, LP hereby assigns to MCM all of LP’s rights under any Support Contracts. LP will cause the Aircraft and the Aircraft Documents to be returned in the condition in which the Aircraft is required to be maintained pursuant this Lease, but with all logos or other identifying marks of LP removed from the Aircraft. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, LP will cause the Aircraft and Aircraft Documents to be returned in the following condition: (i) all historical records required to be maintained by LP with respect to the Aircraft, logs (including flight, engine, airframe and components logs) and all associated

9

documentation — including an FAA-approved aircraft flight manual, manufacturer’s maintenance and inspection manual and parts catalog — are in the English language and such historical records and logs are original, up-to-date and complete from the date of manufacture through the Return Date; (ii) all applicable airworthiness directives and mandatory service bulletins with compliance deadlines on or before the Return Date are fully complied through available corrective modification in lieu of operating manual restrictions; (iii) all maintenance and inspections under the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance program are up-to-date and with no deferred items as of the Return Date, and with all calendar or time-based maintenance and inspections due on or before the Return Date performed; (iv) the Aircraft is not subject to any non-standard or, except as provided in the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance program generally applicable to aircraft of the same type as the Aircraft, recurring inspection requirements; (v) the Aircraft has no damage history, no undisclosed damage (whether or not repaired) and no corrosion beyond manufacturers’ limits; (vi) all systems and components are properly operational, airworthy and within manufacturers’ specifications and tolerances; (vii) no components are installed in or attached to the Aircraft on a temporary, loan or exchange basis; (viii) the Aircraft conforms to the specifications set forth on Annex A; (ix) the Aircraft is registered on the United States Civil Aviation Registry; (x) all overflight and navigation fees and charges (including Eurocontrol and NavCanada fees and charges), and all payments and other obligations due under any Support Contracts with respect to all operations and periods prior to the Return Date have been paid or performed, and LP has provided MCM with written confirmation from each provider of a Support Contract of such payment and performance; and (x) the Aircraft is airworthy (the “Return Condition”). LP will comply with all requirements and conditions set forth on Annex E hereto. LP will pay for all of its costs to comply with this section 11.

b.                                      MCM will arrange for the inspection of the Aircraft on the Return Date to determine if the Aircraft has been maintained and returned in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. If the inspection reveals that the Aircraft has not been maintained or returned in accordance with this Lease or any discrepancy between the condition of the Aircraft and the Return Condition, LP will pay the costs of servicing or repairing to cause the Aircraft to comply with the requirements of section 11.a.

c.                                       If LP fails to return the Aircraft on the Return Date, MCM will be entitled to damages equal to the Rent for the Aircraft, pro-rated on a per diem basis, for each day the Aircraft is retained beyond the Return Date. Such damages for retention of the Aircraft after the Return Date will not be interpreted as an extension or reinstatement of the Term.

d.                                      All of MCM’s rights contained in this section 11 will survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease.

Waiver of any Event of Default will not be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default.

13.       NET LEASE:

This Lease is a net lease. MCM will have no obligation, liability or responsibility to LP or any other person with respect to operation, maintenance, repairs, alterations, modifications, correction of faults or defects (whether or not required by applicable law) or insurance with respect to the Aircraft during the Term, all of which matters will be, as between MCM and LP, the sole responsibility of LP, regardless of upon whom such responsibilities may fall under applicable law or otherwise, and the Rent payable hereunder has been set in reliance upon LP’s sole responsibility for all such matters.

Such amount will be payable upon demand accompanied by a statement describing in reasonable detail such Loss and the computation of such amount. The economic yields and cash flows will be computed on the same assumptions as were used by MCM and its members in originally evaluating the transaction (“Net Economic Return”).

c.                                       All of the rights, privileges and indemnities of MCM contained in this Section 15 will survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease and are expressly made for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, MCM and its members, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

16.       DISCLAIMER:

LP ACKNOWLEDGES THAT MCM IS LEASING THE AIRCRAFT IN AN “AS IS” CONDITION (SUBJECT TO ANY VENDOR OR MANUFACTURER OBLIGATIONS OR WARRANTIES, THE BENEFITS OF WHICH MCM IS ASSIGNING, TO THE EXTENT ASSIGNABLE, TO LP HEREUNDER BUT FOR WHICH LP WILL LOOK ONLY TO VENDOR OR MANUFACTURER AND NOT TO MCM), WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF MCM. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 18, MCM DOES NOT MAKE, HAS NOT MADE, NOR WILL BE DEEMED TO MAKE OR HAVE MADE, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRCRAFT LEASED UNDER THIS LEASE OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF, OR ANY ENGINE INSTALLED THEREON, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY AS TO CONDITION, AIRWORTHINESS, DESIGN, COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, QUALITY OF MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE, USE OR OPERATION, SAFETY, PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT, OR TITLE. All such risks during the Term, as between MCM and LP solely, are to be borne by LP.
