For the avoidance of doubt, no amounts held as part of the Aggregate Protection shall be counted in the calculation of Unrestricted Cash.

2.	Exposure Protection

(a)

Upon commencement of the Agreement, Member may retain and hold all funds paid to Member by a Card Association on account of Sales Records submitted by Carrier to Member as Reserved Funds until the amount of the Aggregate Protection equals the Required Amount, as determined in accordance with Sections 3 and 8 of this Exposure Protection Schedule. In lieu of retaining Reserved Funds, or in addition to retaining and holding

Reserved Funds, Member, in its sole discretion, may demand that Carrier, and Carrier shall upon such demand, remit to Member within ***** of Member’s demand immediately available funds to hold as the Deposit in an amount that when added to amounts (if any) retained and held by or on behalf of Member as the Deposit causes the amount of the Aggregate Protection to equal the Required Amount. The Deposit amount shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 of this Exposure Protection Schedule. Member will hold the Deposit as security for the due and punctual payment of and performance by Carrier of the Obligations.

(b)

Carrier grants to each of Member and all other Secured Parties a Lien on the Deposit and all other Carrier’s Rights to secure the payment and performance by Carrier of all Obligations. Each Secured Party shall act as agent for itself and all other Secured Parties to the extent that any Secured Party control or possesses the Deposit and other Aggregate Protection or is named as a Secured Party on any filing, registration or recording. Carrier hereby acknowledges that notwithstanding the foregoing grant of a Lien, Reserved Funds represent only a future right to payment owed to Carrier under the Agreement, payment of which is subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and to Carrier’s complete and irrevocable fulfillment of its obligations and duties under the Agreement and do not constitute funds of Carrier.

(c)

Carrier further agrees that during the term of the Agreement, Carrier shall not grant, or attempt to grant, to any other Person or suffer to exist in favor of any other Person any Lien or other interest in Carrier’s Rights (if any) or in any proceeds thereof unless any such Lien or other interest and the priority thereof are subject to a subordination agreement in favor of Member and all other Secured Parties and satisfactory to Member.

(d)

Carrier hereby acknowledges that Member disputes the existence of any interest of Carrier in any rights to payment from Cardholders or Card Issuers arising out of the Sales Records and further acknowledges that to the extent it may have an interest therein, such interest is subordinate to the interests of the Secured Parties and of any of their respective subrogees.

(e)

Carrier will do all acts and things, and will execute, endorse, deliver, file, register or record all instruments, statements, declarations or agreements (including pledges, assignments, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, etc.) reasonably requested by Member, in form reasonably satisfactory to Member, to establish, perfect, maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Secured Parties in all Carrier’s Rights and in all proceeds of the foregoing. Carrier will pay the reasonable costs and expenses of all filings and recordings, including taxes thereon or fees with respect thereto and all searches reasonably necessary or deemed necessary by Member, to establish and determine the validity and the priority of such security granted in favor of Member. Carrier hereby irrevocably appoints Member (and all persons, officers, employees or agents designated by Member), its agent and attorney-in-fact to do all such acts and things contemplated by this paragraph in the name of Carrier. Without limiting the foregoing, Carrier hereby authorizes Member to file one or more financing statements or continuation statements in respect hereof, and amendments

thereto, relating to any part of the collateral described herein without the signature of Carrier. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of the Agreement or of a financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed in lieu of the original in any or all jurisdictions which accept such reproductions.

3.	Adjustments to Deposit

(a)

Member will use the Methodology described in Section 8 of this Exposure Protection Schedule (the “Methodology”) to calculate Gross Exposure each Business Day. Carrier acknowledges that Member has explained to it and it understands Member’s Methodology for determining Gross Exposure and the amount of the Aggregate Protection and hereby agrees to be bound by such Methodology and the determinations made by Member as a result thereof; provided, however, that Carrier may, in good faith, dispute any determination made by Member by delivery of notice thereof to Member, and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute as expeditiously as possible. Among other things, Carrier understands that Gross Exposure includes the value of Travel Costs for goods or services sold to Cardholders who used their Cards to purchase such goods or services with respect to which Carrier has not yet provided such goods or services. Member and Carrier may change the Methodology by mutual written agreement.

(b)

The amount of the Deposit shall be increased or decreased each Business Day, as appropriate, based on the Methodology so that the amount of the Aggregate Protection will at all times equal the Required Amount. Any necessary increases to the Deposit may be made, at Member’s sole discretion, by Member withholding as Reserved Funds an amount up to ***** of amounts otherwise payable to Carrier under Section 6.2 of the MTOS until the amount of the Aggregate Protection is at least equal to the Required Amount; provided, that if there are insufficient funds available from the daily settlement to fully fund the Deposit in the Required Amount, then Carrier shall send such additional funds by federal wire transfer, to an account designated by Member, on the first (1st) Business Day after Carrier’s receipt of notice from Member that an increase is required and the amount thereof. If the Member agrees to permit increases to the amount of the Deposit by wire transfer and the funds required to increase the amount of the Deposit so that the Aggregate Protection is equal to the Required Amount are not transferred to Member as required by this Section 3, Member may immediately withhold on a daily basis as Reserved Funds an amount up to ***** of amounts otherwise payable to Carrier under Section 6.2 of the MTOS until the amount of the Aggregate Protection at least equals the Required Amount. Member shall remit to Carrier from the Deposit the amount necessary to reduce the amount of the Aggregate Protection to equal the Required Amount on each Business Day in accordance with Section 6.2 of the MTOS.

(c)

The amount of the Deposit to be maintained hereunder may be reduced in accordance with Section 9 of this Exposure Protection Schedule pursuant to which Member accepts Letter of Credit in lieu of all or a portion of the Deposit so long as the Aggregate Protection equals the Required Amount.

(d)

Although Member has the right at all times to require that the amount of the Aggregate Protection equal the Required Amount, Member may, from time to time, in its sole discretion make remittances to Carrier or release portions of any Letter of Credit such that the Aggregate Protection is less than the Required Amount. The duration of any such reduction is within the sole discretion of Member. At any time that the amount of the Aggregate Protection is less than the Required Amount Member, in its sole discretion, may again require that the amount of the Aggregate Protection equal the Required Amount. Any required increase may be made as provided in Section 3(b) of this Exposure Protection Schedule as determined by Member. Any reductions in the amount of the Aggregate Protection as described in this paragraph shall not be deemed a course of dealing nor give rise to any rights by Carrier in the future to require that the amount of the Aggregate Amount be less than the Required Amount.

4.	Control of Deposit

Carrier acknowledges that (i) funds remitted to Member by Carrier, and (ii) funds paid by Card Associations and held by Member or any Secured Party as the Deposit may be commingled with other funds of Member or such Secured Party, and further acknowledges that all such funds, and any investment of funds shall be in the name and control of Member or such Secured Party, and, except for crediting of interest as contemplated by Section 5 below, Carrier shall have no interest in any securities, instruments or other contracts or any interest, dividends or other earnings accruing thereon or in connection therewith. It is the understanding of the Parties that, notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, until Member is required to pay the then remaining balance of the Deposit pursuant Section 7, (a) the sole obligations of Member to make payments to Carrier from the Deposit shall be the obligations to (i) pay to Carrier amounts equal to the amounts attributable to Travel Costs with respect to which Carrier has provided goods or services net of any Obligations owed Carrier to any Secured Party, and (ii) remit to Carrier amounts necessary to reduce the amount of the Aggregate Protection to equal the Required Amount, as set forth in Section 3(b) of this Exposure Protection Schedule, and (b) such obligations to make payment to Carrier are at all times subject to the terms of the Agreement.

5.	Investment

All amounts held as the Deposit will be deemed to earn a yield equal to the Applicable Rate. The amount so earned shall be credited to the Deposit.

6.	Right of Offset; Recoupment; Application

At any time that an amount is due Member or any other Secured Party from Carrier, and Member or such other Secured Party does not obtain payment of such amount due as provided in the Agreement, Member (on behalf of itself and any other Secured Party) shall have the right to apply, recoup or set off any amounts otherwise owed by Member or any other Secured Party to Carrier hereunder, including, without limitation, any amounts attributable to the Deposit, to the amount owed by Carrier.

Where any application, recoupment or set off requires the conversion of one currency into another, Member shall be entitled to effect such conversion in accordance with its prevailing practice and Carrier shall bear all exchange risks, losses, commissions and other bank charges which may thereafter arise.

7.	Retention of Deposit After Cessation

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, during the period not to exceed ***** from the earlier of termination of this Agreement or the date upon which Carrier permanently ceases flight operations, Member may retain the Deposit and Letters of Credit until such time as the Member reasonably determines that Carrier has no further Obligations or potential Obligations (excluding indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) without any obligation to remit funds to Carrier until such time. For clarity, Member acknowledges that, unless Carrier has ceased or substantially reduced its flight operations, they shall release the Deposit to Carrier pursuant to Section 3(b) of this Exposure Protection Schedule as the Gross Exposure reduces pursuant to the Methodology set forth in Section 8 of this Exposure Protection Schedule so long as the Aggregate Protection equals the Required Amount and any remaining balance shall be released on or before ***** from the earlier of termination of this Agreement or the date upon which Carrier permanently ceases flight operations.

8.	Methodology

“Gross Exposure” shall be calculated by the Member on a daily basis as follows:

(a)

*****

(b)

*****

(c)

*****

(d)

*****

(e)

*****

(f)

*****

(g)

*****

9.	Standby Letter of Credit

(h)

The amount of the Aggregate Protection which Member may maintain pursuant to this Exposure Protection Schedule shall include the sum of (a) the amount remaining to be drawn upon any valid and outstanding Letter of Credit, in lieu of maintaining the amount of the Deposit in an amount equal to the Required Amount and (b) the proceeds of any previous draw on a Letter of Credit held by Member and not applied. Any such letter of credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Member and issued by a financial institution acceptable to Member, as determined by Member in its reasonable discretion (which may include taking into account regulatory limitations imposed on Member regarding exposure to particular institutions). Notwithstanding any initial acceptance of a Letter of Credit, Member reserves the right at any time

to either (i) demand delivery of a substitute Letter of Credit issued by different institution or (ii) withhold as Reserved Funds amounts necessary so that the Deposit equals the Required Amount if, in Member’s reasonable discretion (which may include taking into account regulatory limitations imposed on Member regarding exposure to particular institutions), it determines that it cannot or will not continue to accept non-payment risk from the institution obligated on a Letter of Credit previously delivered to Member. At such time as the Member may no longer draw on a Letter of Credit, Member may require that the Deposit equal the Required Amount.

(i)

Upon the occurrence of any event that gives rise to Member’s right under this Agreement (i) to make demand on Carrier for payment to Member, (ii) to apply amounts represented by the Deposit to Obligations of Carrier or (iii) otherwise to retain and not pay to Carrier amounts paid to Member by a Card Association on account of Sales Records submitted to Member by Carrier, then Member, at its option, may draw on any Letter of Credit issued for Member’s benefit (for itself and as agent for any other Secured Party) with respect to the Agreement without first taking any of the actions described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above.

(j)

In addition to Member’s rights as set forth above, Member, at its option, may draw (in one or more draws) up to the full amount remaining undrawn on a Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events or as otherwise provided below: (a) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event; (b) receipt by Member of notification from the issuer of the Letter of Credit that such issuer has elected not to renew the Letter of Credit; (c) notification of termination of the Agreement by either party; (d) a substantial number of the scheduled flights of Carrier fail to operate on any particular day; or (e) Member, in its reasonable discretion, determines that it cannot or will not continue to accept non-payment risk from the institution obligated on a Letter of Credit previously delivered to Member (which may include taking into account regulatory limitations imposed on Member regarding exposure to particular institutions). In addition, Member may draw upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to any other condition for draw provided in the Letter of Credit, and, in any event, on or after the thirtieth day prior to expiration of the Letter of Credit. No failure to draw, or delay in making a draw, on a Letter of Credit shall impair Member’s right to draw thereon at a later time.

(k)

Carrier acknowledges that, except for its right to receive the excess proceeds of any Letter of Credit upon the expiration of the period specified in Section 7 of this Exposure Protection Schedule, it has no interest in any proceeds of any draw on any Letter of Credit issued for the benefit of Member or any Secured Party and that upon any draw on any Letter of Credit, Member shall be entitled to hold the proceeds thereof for payment of the Obligations under the Agreement and apply such proceeds in payment thereof as and when Member deems appropriate. Member shall have no obligation to remit to any person or entity any excess proceeds of any draw on the Letter of Credit until expiration of the period specified in Section 7 of this Exposure Protection Schedule. In the event of any dispute between Carrier and the issuer of such Letter of Credit or any subrogee thereof, or any other person or entity with respect to

entitlement to any proceeds of the Letter of Credit, Member may retain all such proceeds until final resolution of such dispute by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to Member’s right to retain and apply proceeds in payment of the Obligations. In the event that Member draws on a Letter of Credit and holds the proceeds thereof at a time when Carrier is conducting normal flight operations, Member shall include such proceeds in its calculation of coverage for the Required Amount and make remittances to Carrier in accordance with Section 3 of this Exposure Protection Schedule as if the proceeds were part of the Deposit. Any excess proceeds of a Letter of Credit, as determined by Member in good faith after taking into account all Obligations of Carrier to Member and the other Secured Parties, shall be remitted to Carrier or as otherwise directed by a court of law.

10.

Deposit Upon Termination of the Agreement.
