Schedule 4.01(f)
to the
Security and Guarantee Agreement
INSURANCE
1. | | Obligation to Insure |
|
| | So long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, the Guarantors will ensure that there is effected and maintained appropriate insurances in respect of each Eligible Aircraft and the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and its operation including insurance for: |
| (a) | | loss or damage to each Eligible Aircraft and each part thereof; and |
|
| (b) | | any liability for injury to or death of persons and damage to or the destruction of public or private property arising out of or in connection with the operation, storage, maintenance or use of (in each case to the extent available) the Eligible Aircraft and of any other part thereof not belonging to the Guarantors but from time to time installed on the airframe. |
2. | | Specific Insurances |
|
| | The Guarantors will maintain or will cause to be maintained the following specific insurances with respect to each Eligible Aircraft (subject to paragraph 3): |
| (a) | | All Risks Hull Insurance —All risks hull insurance policy on the Eligible Aircraft in an amount at least equal to 110% of the outstanding principal of the Loans allocable to such Eligible Aircraft, calculated based on the most recent appraised value (the “Required Insured Value”) on an agreed value basis and naming the Collateral Agent (for and on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties) as a loss payee for the Required Insured Value (provided,however, that, if the applicable lessee’s insurance program uses AVN67B or a successor London market endorsement similar thereto, the Guarantor shall use reasonable commercial efforts to procure that the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent are also named as a “Contract Party” and shall ensure that the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent are also named as a “Contract Party” in respect of any new lease entered into); |
|
| (b) | | Hull War Risk Insurance —Hull war risk and allied perils insurance, including hijacking, (excluding, however, confiscation by government of registry or country of domicile to the extent coverage of such risk is not generally available to the applicable lessee in the relevant insurance market at a commercially reasonable cost or is not customarily obtained by operators in such jurisdiction at such time) on the Eligible Aircraft where the custom in the industry is to carry war risk for aircraft operating on routes or kept in locations similar to the Eligible Aircraft in an amount not less than the Required Insured Value on an agreed value basis and naming the |
ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
III-2
| | | Collateral Agent (for and on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties) as a loss payee for the Required Insured Value (provided,however, that, if the applicable lessee’s insurance program uses AVN67B or a successor London market endorsement similar thereto, the Guarantors shall use reasonable commercial efforts to procure that the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent are also named as a “Contract Party” and shall ensure that the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent are also named as a “Contract Party” in respect of any new lease entered into); |
|
| (c) | | Legal Liability Insurance —Third party legal liability insurance (including war and allied perils) for a combined single limit (bodily injured and property damage) of not less than $500,000,000 for a narrowbody Aircraft, and not less than $750,000,000 for widebody Aircraft. The Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of themselves and the Secured Parties) shall be named as additional insureds on such policies;provided that the Guarantors shall ensure that the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent are also named as an additional insured in respect of any new lease. |
|
| (d) | | Aircraft Spares Insurance —Insurance for the engines and the parts while not installed on the airframe for their replacement cost or an agreed value basis. |
3. | | Variations on Specific Insurance Requirements |
|
| | In certain circumstances, it is customary that not all of the insurances described in paragraph 2 be carried for the Eligible Aircraft. For example, when a Eligible Aircraft is not on lease to a passenger air carrier or is in storage or is being repaired or maintained, ferry or ground rather than passenger flight coverage for the Eligible Aircraft are applicable. Similarly, indemnities may be provided by a Governmental Authority in lieu of particular insurances;provided,however, that the Guarantors shall not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, be entitled to accept any new such governmental indemnities other than when such indemnities are granted by a Governmental Authority of a country or jurisdiction that is not a prohibited country. The relevant Guarantor will determine the necessary coverage for the Eligible Aircraft in such situations consistent with Leasing Company Practice with respect to similar aircraft. |
4. | | Hull Insurances in Excess of Required Insurance Value |
|
| | For the avoidance of doubt, any Guarantor and/or any lessee may carry hull risks and hull war and allied perils insurance on the Eligible Aircraft in excess of the Required Insured Value which (subject, in the case of the Guarantors, to no Event of Default having occurred and being continuing) will not be payable to the Collateral Agent. Such excess insurances will be payable to (i) if payable to the Guarantors, to the relevant Guarantor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in which case the excess shall be payable to the Collateral Agent or (ii) if payable to the lessee to the lessee in all circumstances. |
ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
III-3
| | | All insurance and reinsurances effected pursuant to this Schedule 4.01(f) shall be payable in Dollars, save that in the case of the insurances referred to in paragraph 2(c) (if such denomination is (a) required by the law of the state of registration of the Eligible Aircraft; or (b) the normal practice of airlines in the relevant country that operate aircraft leased from lessors located outside such country; or (c) otherwise agreed by the Collateral Agent) or paragraph 2(d). |
6. | | Specific Terms of Insurances |
| | Insurance policies which are underwritten in the London and/or other non-US insurance market and which pertain to financed or leased aircraft equipment contain the coverage and endorsements described in AVN67B as it may be amended or revised or its equivalent. Each of the Guarantors agrees that, so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, the Eligible Aircraft will be insured and the applicable insurance policies endorsed either (i) in a manner consistent with AVN67B, as it may be amended or revised or its equivalent or (ii) as may then be customary in the airline industry for aircraft of the same type as the Eligible Aircraft utilised by operators in the same country and whose operational network for such Eligible Aircraft and credit status is similar to the type of business as the lessee (if any) and at the time commonly available in the insurance market. In all cases, the relevant Guarantor will set the standards, review and manage the insurances on the Eligible Aircraft consistent with Leasing Company Practice with respect to similar aircraft. |
7. | | Insurance Brokers and Insurers |
| | In reviewing and accepting the insurance brokers (if any) and reinsurance brokers (if any) and insurers and reinsurers (if any) providing coverage with respect to the Eligible Aircraft, the relevant Guarantor will utilize standards consistent with Leasing Company Practice with respect to similar aircraft. It is recognized that airlines in certain countries are required to utilize brokers (and sometimes even no brokers) or carry insurance with local insurance brokers and insurers. If at any time any Eligible Aircraft is not subject to a lease, the relevant Guarantor will cause its insurance brokers to provide the Collateral Agent with evidence that the insurances described in this Schedule 4.01(f) are in full force and effect. |
8. | | Deductible Amounts, Self-Insurance and Reinsurance |
| | With respect to the type of aircraft concerned, the nationality and creditworthiness of the airline operator, the airline operator’s use and operation thereof and to the scope of and the amount covered by the insurances carried by the lessee, the relevant Guarantor will apply standards consistent with Leasing Company Practice with respect to similar aircraft in reviewing and accepting the amount of any insurance deductibles, whether the lessee may self-insure any of the risks covered by the insurances and the scope and terms of reinsurance, if any, including a cut-through and assignment clause. |
9. Renewals
ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
III-4
| | | The Guarantors will monitor the insurances on the Eligible Aircraft and their expiration dates. The relevant Guarantor shall, when requested by the Collateral Agent, promptly inform the Collateral Agent as to whether or not it has been advised that renewal instructions for any of the insurances have been given by the airline operator or its broker prior to or on the scheduled expiry date of the relevant insurance. The relevant Guarantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing if it receives notice that any of the insurances have in fact expired without renewal. Promptly after receipt, the relevant Guarantor will provide to the Collateral Agent evidence of renewal of the insurances and reinsurance (if any). |
| | Subject to applicable confidentiality restrictions, each of the Guarantors shall provide the Collateral Agent or shall ensure that the Collateral Agent is provided with any information reasonably requested by it from time to time concerning the insurances maintained with respect to the Eligible Aircraft or, if reasonably available to the Guarantors, in connection with any claim being made or proposed to be made thereunder. |
