Lessor shall not act as Lessees attorney-in-fact unless Lessee is in default. Lessee shall pay any reasonable expenses of Lessor in adjusting or collecting insurance proceeds. Lessor may, at its option, apply proceeds of insurance, in whole or in part, to (A) repair the Aircraft, or repair or replace any part thereof, or (B) satisfy any obligation of Lessee to Lessor under this Lease. The foregoing notwithstanding, to the extent no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written notice from Lessee, Lessor shall follow Lessee's written direction regarding application of the proceeds of insurance, in whole or in part, to (A) repair the Aircraft, or repair or replace any part thereof, or (B) satisfy any obligation of Lessee to Lessor under this Lease; provided, however, that Lessor shall have no obligation to apply such insurance proceeds towards repair or replacement of the Aircraft or any part thereof, if Lessor determines, in its sole discretion, that any such repair or replacement is not capable of being completed before the expiration of the term of the Lease. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee shall have no right to direct the application of any such insurance proceeds. Any surplus of such insurance proceeds, shall, to the extent no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be paid by Lessor to Lessee.

16. OWNERSHIP FOR TAX PURPOSES; GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST; USURY SAVINGS:
(a) It is the intention of the parties that this Lease constitutes a financing by the Lessor to the Lessee and preserves the beneficial ownership of the Aircraft in Lessee. For income tax, sales tax and personal property tax purposes, the parties hereto agree that it is their mutual intention that Lessee shall be considered the owner of the Aircraft. Accordingly, Lessor agrees (i) to treat Lessee as the owner of the Aircraft on its federal income tax return, (ii) not to take actions or positions inconsistent with such treatment on or with respect to its federal income tax return, and (iii) not to claim any tax benefits available to an owner of the Aircraft on or with respect o its federal income tax return. The foregoing undertakings by Lessor shall not be violated by Lessor's taking a tax position inconsistent with the forgoing sentence to the extent such a position is required by law or is taken through inadvertence so long as such inadvertent tax position is reversed by Lessor promptly upon its discovery. Lessor shall in no event be liable to Lessee if Lessee fails to secure any of the tax benefits available to the owner of the Aircraft.
11
(b) Lessee hereby grants Lessor a first security interest in the Aircraft and the Engines, together with all equipment, avionics, accessories, substitutes, or replacement parts, spare parts, appurtenances and appliances upon or within the Aircraft or attached thereto, whether or not furnished by the manufacturer or vendor of the Aircraft, including, without limitation, all logs, manuals, and records pertaining to the construction, modification, inspection, repair and operation of the Airframe, or any Engine or part, and all insurance and other proceeds and products of any of the foregoing, free and clear of all liens, security interests and/or encumbrances whatsoever.
(c) It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with any applicable usury laws to the extent that this Lease is determined to be subject to such laws; accordingly, it is agreed that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Lease, in no event shall the Lease require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any such excess interest is contracted for, charged or received under the Lease, or in the event that all of the principal balance shall be prepaid, so that under any of such circumstances the amount of interest contracted for, charged or received under the Lease shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, then in such event (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (b) neither Lessee nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for any payment required hereunder shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, (c) any such excess which may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal balance or refunded to Lessee, at the option of the Lessor, and (d) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable law as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction thereof. It is further agreed that without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received under the Lease which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful contract rate, shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Lessee or otherwise by Lessor in connection with such indebtedness; provided, however, that if any applicable state law is amended or the law of the United States of America preempts any applicable state law, so that it becomes lawful for Lessor to receive a greater interest per annum rate than is presently allowed, the Lessee agrees that, on the effective date of such amendment or preemption, as the case may be, the lawful maximum hereunder shall be increased to the maximum interest per annum rate allowed by the amended state law or the law of the United States of America.
17. EARLY TERMINATION:
(a) On or after the First Termination Date (specified in Annex B), Lessee may, so long as no Event of Default exists, terminate this Lease as of a Rent Payment Date ("Termination Date"). Lessee must give Lessor at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the termination.
(b) Lessee shall, and Lessor may, solicit cash bids for the Aircraft on an AS IS, WHERE IS basis without recourse to or warranty from Lessor, express or implied ("AS IS BASIS"). Prior to the Termination Date, Lessee shall, (i) certify to Lessor any bids received by Lessee; and (ii) pay to Lessor, (a) the Termination Value (calculated as of the Termination Date) for the Aircraft; and (b) all Rent and other sums due and unpaid as of the Termination Date.

12
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor may elect by written notice, at any time prior to the Termination Date, not to sell the Aircraft. In that event, on the Termination Date Lessee shall: (i) return the Aircraft (in accordance with Section 10); and (ii) pay to Lessor all amounts required under Section 17(b) less the amount of the highest bid certified by Lessee to Lessor.

2. Basic Term and Renewal Term Rent. Commencing on February 01, 2002, and on the same day of each month thereafter (each, a "Rent Payment Date") during the Basic Term ("Basic Term Rent") and each of the First and Second Renewal Terms, as applicable ("Renewal Term Rent"), Lessee shall pay as Rent monthly installments of principal in arrears, each installment in the principal amount specified on the Amortization Table attached to this Annex B as Schedule 1, together with interest on the Unamortized Principal Balance as of the immediately preceding Rent Payment Date (after application of the Rent paid on such date) at the Interest Rate for the Interest Period following such immediately preceding Rent Payment Date. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Said Rent consists of principal and interest components, such principal components being as provided in the Amortization Table attached to this Annex B as Schedule 1.
As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
"Interest Period" shall mean the period beginning on the Lease Commencement Date to and including the last day of the month immediately preceding the first Rent Payment Date; and thereafter from the first day of the month that includes the most recent Rent Payment Date to and including the last day of the month immediately preceding the subsequent Rent Payment Date.
"Interest Rate" shall mean that percentage per annum calculated as the sum of (a) the LIBOR Rate redetermined monthly, plus (b) three hundred twenty-five (325) basis points.
"LIBOR Rate" shall mean, with respect to any Interest Period occurring during the term of the Lease, an interest rate per annum equal at all times during such Interest Period to the quotient of (1) the rate per annum as determined by Lessor at which deposits of U.S. Dollars in immediately available and freely transferable funds are offered at 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) two (2) Business Days before the commencement of such Interest Period to major banks in the London interbank market for a period of ninety (90) days and in an amount equal or comparable to the Unamortized Principal Balance, divided by (2) a number equal to 1.00 minus the aggregate (without duplication) of the rates (expressed as a decimal fraction) of the LIBOR Reserve Requirements current on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the first day of the Interest Period.
"LIBOR Reserve Requirements" shall mean the daily average for the applicable Interest Period of the maximum rate applicable to Lessor or its participants or assignees, if any, at which reserves (including, without limitation, any supplemental, marginal and emergency reserves) are imposed during such Interest Period by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) on "Eurocurrency liabilities", as defined in such Board's Regulation D (or in respect of any other category of liabilities that include deposits by reference to which the interest rates on Eurodollar loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets that include loans by non-United States offices of any lender to United States residents), having a term equal to such Interest Period, subject to any amendments of such reserve requirement by such Board or its successor, taking into account any transitional adjustments thereto.
