RELIEF REQUESTED

1. By this Motion, and pursuant to section 362(d) of title 11 of the United States Code,

11 U.S.C. § 101, et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), Lufthansa Technik seeks the entry of an order,

substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Order”), granting Lufthansa Technik

relief from the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to exercise its rights under an

Early Termination Clause (as defined herein) pursuant to one (1) of its existing executory contracts

with certain of the Debtors herein.

2. The Debtors, through counsel, have indicated that they do not oppose the relief

requested herein.

BACKGROUND

3. On May 10, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), each of the Debtors filed a voluntary

petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Since that time, the Debtors have

operated their businesses as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the

Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors cases are being jointly administered [Docket No. 73].

4. On May 22, 2020, the Office of the United States Trustee for the Southern District

of New York appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors (the “Committee”) [Docket

A. Rejection of B-787 Services Agreement

7. On June 9, 2020, this Court entered an order approving procedures for the rejection,

assumption, or assumption and assignment of executory contracts and unexpired leases and

granting related relief (the “Procedures Order”) [Docket No. 261]. Pursuant to the Procedures

Order, on July 15, 2020, the Debtors filed a Notice of Rejection of Certain Executory Contracts

and Unexpired Leases (the “Rejection Notice”)[Docket No. 486] with respect to that certain

Agreement on Technical Services (Total Component and Maintenance Support for B-787, Aircraft

Production Inspection Program for B 787, Cyclean Engine Wash and Additional Services), by and

between Lufthansa Technik and Debtor Aerovias del Continente Americano S.A. Avianca, dated

June 30, 2014 (the “B-787 Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Rejection Notice, the B-787

Services Agreement has been deemed rejected as of July 16, 2020.

B. The V2500 Services Agreement

8. Two of the Debtors herein, Aerovias del Continenete Americano S.A. Avianca and

TACA International Airlines S.A., are parties with Lufthansa Technik to that certain Agreement

on Technical Services dated as of April 1, 2015 (the “Technical Services Agreement”) and the

related Attachment A: Total Component Maintenance for V2500 Engine Related Components (the

“TCM Attachment”) (collectively, with the Technical Services Agreement, the “V2500 Services

Agreement”).3

9. As of the Petition Date, Lufthansa Technik was due the sum of $641.005.06 under

the V2500 Services Agreement.4

10. Article 10.4 of the TCM Attachment to the V2500 Services Agreement permits

Lufthansa Technik to terminate the agreement at any time, for any or no reason and at its sole

                                                            3 The V2500 Services Agreement contains certain confidentiality provisions and therefore is not attached. If necessary, Lufthansa Technik will file the agreement under seal and with Court approval. 4 Currently, the sum of $9,577.48 is due post-petition under the V2500 Services Agreement.

discretion, provided that 180 days’ notice is given and a Termination Fee is paid under the

circumstances (the “Early Termination Clause”). The Early Termination Clause provides as

follows:

10.4. Early Termination through LHT

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this TCM Attachment or in the Agreement, LHT shall have the right to early terminate this Attachment with respect to any Customer under this Agreement at any time, for any or no reason, at its sole discretion, prior to the end of the minimum term or any extension by delivery of prior written notice of termination, provided that a) prior written notice of at least one hundred and eighty (180) Days is provided to the Customer; and b) LHT pays the Customer, or its designated affiliates, a termination fee “Termination Fee” in the aggregate amount according to the year in which such termination becomes effective, with the Termination Fee in the first twelve (12) months after the date of this TCS Attachment (“Year 1” being 1,000,000 USD, which amount shall be reduced by 166,000 USD p.a. in each subsequent successive twelve (12) month period commencing on the first anniversary of the date of this TCS Attachment (for the first such period, “Year 2”, the second such twelve (12) month period, “Year 3”, and so on) for any termination occurring after Year 6, no Termination Fee shall apply. LHT shall have thirty (30) days to pay the Termination Fee after such termination. LHT shall have no other liability for termination of this Agreement except for such Termination Fee. Each Customer would receive a prorated portion of the Termination Fee if such Termination Fee is paid under this Section 10.4; provided that the Customer may provide LHT with written notice from the Customers of a different allocation between the Customers prior to the accrual of such Termination Fee, in which case LHT will allocate such Termination Fee as requested.

(emphasis added).

RELIEF REQUESTED

11. In accordance with the Early Termination Clause, Lufthansa Technik seeks

authority from this Court to issue and deliver the attached Termination Notice (the “Termination

Notice”) in the form substantially as attached hereto as Exhibit “B”.

12. Upon approval of this Court, Lufthansa Technik will deliver the Termination

Notice to the appropriate representative of the Debtors as set forth therein. In accordance with the

20-11133-mg Doc 741 Filed 08/21/20 Entered 08/21/20 13:01:44 Main Document Pg 8 of 16

5

Early Termination Clause, termination of the V2500 Services Agreement shall be effective one

hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of the Termination Notice (the “Termination Date”).

To the extent applicable, Lufthansa Technik shall pay the Termination Fee as defined in the Early

Termination Clause within thirty (30) days of the Termination Date.

13. Lufthansa Technik submits that cause exists to authorize the issuance and delivery

of the Termination Notice as set forth herein. The Early Termination Clause authorizes Lufthansa

Technik to terminate the V2500 Services Agreement any time, for any or no reason and at its sole

discretion. The Debtors will be provided with one hundred and eighty (180) days of notice of the

termination. Moreover, a Termination Fee may be paid provided that the termination is effective

prior to April 1, 2021.

14. Cause further exists because in the event that the Debtors choose to assume the

V2500 Services Agreement, it (a) will be required to cure all defaults thereunder including

$641.005.06 which is due and owing as of the Petition Date, (b) Lufthansa Technik would

nevertheless exercise its rights under the Early Termination Clause and (c) the Debtors would not

be entitled to the Termination Fee since termination thereunder would most likely be effective

after April 1, 2021. If the Debtors choose to reject the V2500 Services Agreement, then no

Termination Fee will be paid since the parties will no longer be obligated to perform thereunder.

NOTICE  

15. Notice of this Motion has been or will be given to the following parties or, in lieu

thereof, to their counsel, if known: (a) the Standard Parties (as defined in the Order Implementing

Certain Case Management and Notice Procedures [Docket No. 47]); and (b) any party that has

requested service pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. In light of the nature of the relief requested,

the Debtors submit that no further notice need be given.

NO PRIOR REQUEST  16. No prior request for the relief sought in this motion has been made to this or any

other court.

CONCLUSION

WHEREFORE, Lufthansa Technik respectfully requests the Court enter an order,

substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, granting the relief requested herein and such

other and further relief as is just and appropriate.
