- Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders, to induce the Lenders to enter into this Amendment, that no Event of Default or event with the passage of time would constitute an Event of Default (other than the Events of Default described in Article II herein) exists on the date hereof and that each of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof except where such representation or warranty relates to a specific date, in which such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date.
- References. This Amendment shall be limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed (a) to be a consent granted pursuant to, or a waiver or modification of, any other term or condition of the Credit Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein or (b) to prejudice any right or rights which the Agents, the Tranche C Agent or the Lenders may now have or have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein. Whenever the Credit Agreement is referred to in the Credit Agreement or any of the instruments, agreements or other documents or papers executed or delivered in connection therewith, such reference shall be deemed to mean the Credit Agreement as modified by this Amendment.
- Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. A fax copy or PDF copy of a counterpart signature page shall serve as the functional equivalent of a manually executed copy for all purposes.

- No Letter of Credit shall expire later than the Maturity Date, provided that if any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding on the Termination Date, the Borrower shall, at or prior to the Termination Date, except as either Agent (in consultation with the other Agent) may otherwise agree in writing, (i) cause all Letters of Credit which expire after the Termination Date to be returned to the Fronting Bank undrawn and marked "cancelled" or (ii) if the Borrower is unable to do so in whole or in part, either (x) provide a "back-to-back" letter of credit to one or more Fronting Banks in a form reasonably satisfactory to such Fronting Bank and the Agents, issued by a bank reasonably satisfactory to such Fronting Bank and the Agents, and in an amount equal to 105% of the then undrawn stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Banks (less the amount, if any, then on deposit in the Letter of Credit Account) and/or (y) deposit cash in the Letter of Credit Account in an amount equal to 105% of the then undrawn stated amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (less the amount of cash, if any, then on deposit in the Letter of Credit Account) as collateral security for the Borrower's reimbursement obligations in connection therewith, such cash to be remitted to the Borrower upon the expiration, cancellation or other termination or satisfaction of such reimbursement obligations and the other Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations in respect of which no claims giving rise thereto have been asserted) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
- The Borrower shall pay to each Fronting Bank, in addition to such other fees and charges as are specifically provided for in Section 2.21 hereof, such fees and charges in connection with the issuance and processing of the Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank as are customarily imposed by such Fronting Bank from time to time in connection with letter of credit transactions.
-
Drafts drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be
reimbursed by the Borrower in Dollars not later than the first Business
Day following the date of draw and shall bear interest from the date of
draw until the first Business Day following the date of draw at a rate
per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus [
3.5]3.25% and thereafter on the reimbursed portion until reimbursed in full at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus [5.5]5.25% (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days or when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, a year with 365 days or 366 days in a leap year). The Borrower shall effect such reimbursement (x) if such draw occurs prior to the Termination Date, in cash or through a Borrowing regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 are then met or (y) if such draw occurs on or after the Termination Date, in cash. Each Tranche A Lender agrees to make the Tranche A Loans described in clause (x) of the preceding sentence notwithstanding a failure of the Borrower to satisfy the applicable lending conditions thereto. - Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit by any Fronting Bank, such Fronting Bank shall automatically be deemed to have sold to each Tranche A Lender other than such Fronting Bank and each such other Tranche A Lender shall be deemed unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from such Fronting Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Tranche A Lender's Tranche A Commitment Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement with respect thereto. Upon any change in the Tranche A Commitments pursuant to Section 10.03, it is hereby agreed that with respect to all Letter of Credit Outstandings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations hereby created to reflect the new Tranche A Commitment Percentages of the assigning and assignee Tranche A Lenders. Any action taken or omitted by a Fronting Bank under or in connection with a Letter of Credit shall not create for such Fronting Bank any resulting liability to any other Lender except to the extent that the actions or inactions of the Fronting Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit are judicially determined to have constituted bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.
- In the event that a Fronting Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Fronting Bank pursuant to this Section, the Fronting Bank shall promptly notify the Paying Agent, which shall promptly notify each Tranche A Lender of such failure, and each Tranche A Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Paying Agent (without defense, set-off, counterclaim or other deduction) for the account of the Fronting Bank the amount of such Tranche A Lender's Tranche A Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If the Fronting Bank so notifies the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent so notifies the Tranche A Lenders prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, each Tranche A Lender shall make available to the Fronting Bank such Tranche A Lender's Tranche A Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds, and if the Paying Agent so notifies the Tranche A Lenders after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the next Business Day. If and to the extent such Tranche A Lender shall not have so made its Tranche A Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Fronting Bank, such Tranche A Lender agrees to pay to such Fronting Bank, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Paying Agent for the account of such Fronting Bank at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any Tranche A Lender to make available to the Fronting Bank its Tranche A Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Tranche A Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Fronting Bank its Tranche A Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Tranche A Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Tranche A Lender to make available to such Fronting Bank such other Tranche A Lender's Tranche A Commitment Percentage of any such payment. Whenever a Fronting Bank receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Tranche A Lenders pursuant to this paragraph, such Fronting Bank shall pay to each Tranche A Lender which has paid its Tranche A Commitment Percentage thereof, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Tranche A Lender's Tranche A Commitment Percentage thereof.
- Issuance. Whenever the Borrower desires a Fronting Bank to issue a Letter of Credit, it shall give to such Fronting Bank and the Paying Agent prior written (including telegraphic, telex, facsimile or cable communication) notice reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance specifying the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued (which shall be a Business Day), the stated amount of the Letter of Credit so requested, the expiration date of such Letter of Credit and the name and address of the beneficiary thereof.
- Nature of Letter of Credit Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the Tranche A Lenders for drawings made under any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation (it being understood that any such payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to, and shall not constitute a waiver of, any rights the Borrower might have or might acquire as a result of the payment by the Fronting Bank of any draft or the reimbursement by the Borrower thereof): (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Guarantor may have at any time against a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or against any of the Lenders, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by a Fronting Bank of any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, which is similar to any of the foregoing; or (vi) the fact that any Event of Default or event which upon notice or lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
- Making of Loans.

Except as contemplated by Section 2.11, Loans shall
be either ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request subject
to and in accordance with this Section, provided, that all Loans
made pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically
provided herein, be Loans of the same Type. Each Lender may fulfill its
Tranche A Commitment,
Tranche B Commitment or Tranche [
B]C Commitment with respect to any Eurodollar Loan or ABR Loan by causing any lending office of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, that any such use of a lending office shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Lender shall, subject to its overall policy considerations, use reasonable efforts (but shall not be obligated) to select a lending office which will not result in the payment of increased costs by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15. Subject to the other provisions of this Section and the provisions of Section 2.12, Borrowings of Loans of more than one Type may be incurred at the same time, provided that no more than ten (10) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans may be outstanding at any time. - The Borrower shall give the Paying Agent prior notice of each Borrowing hereunder of at least three (3) Business Days for Eurodollar Loans and one (1) Business Day for ABR Loans (subject, in the case of ABR Loans, to the last sentence of this Section); such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the amount of the proposed Borrowing (which shall not be less than $5,000,000 (and integral multiples of $1,000,000) in the case of Eurodollar Loans and $1,000,000 (and integral multiples of $100,000) in the case of ABR Loans) and the date thereof (which shall be a Business Day) and shall contain disbursement instructions. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by the Paying Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day in the case of Eurodollar Loans and 12:00 noon, New York City time on the first Business Day in the case of ABR Loans, preceding the date on which such Borrowing is to be made except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.06(b). Such notice shall specify whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Borrowing of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans. If no election is made as to the Type of Loan, such notice shall be deemed a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans. The Paying Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its proportionate share of such Borrowing, the date of such Borrowing, the Type of Borrowing or Loans being requested and the Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable thereto, as appropriate. On the borrowing date specified in such notice, each Lender shall make its share of the Borrowing available at the office of the Paying Agent at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, in immediately available funds. Upon receipt of the funds made available by the Lenders to fund any borrowing hereunder, the Paying Agent shall disburse such funds in the manner specified in the notice of borrowing delivered by the Borrower and shall use reasonable efforts to make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower no later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time (other than as provided in the following sentence). With respect to ABR Loans in an aggregate amount of $20,000,000 or less, the Lenders shall make such Borrowings available to the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent shall disburse such Borrowings in accordance with the Borrower's instructions consistent with this Agreement by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the same Business Day that the Borrower gives notice to the Paying Agent of such Borrowing by 10:00 a.m., New York City time.

The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to
pay to the Paying Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of the Tranche A Loans,
the Tranche B Loan and the Tranche [
B]C Loan on the Termination Date. -
Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its
usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the
Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Tranche A Loan,
Tranche B Loan or Tranche [
B]C Loan, as the case may be, made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. - The Paying Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Paying Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof.
- The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Paying Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
- Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a form furnished by the Paying Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.03) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

each](i) each Tranche A Loan and Tranche B Loan that is an ABR Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days or, when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, a year with 365 days or 366 days in a leap year) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 3.25% and (ii) each Tranche C Loan that is an ABR Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days or, when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, a year with 365 days or 366 days in a leap year) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 3.75%. -
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, [
each](i) each Tranche A Loan and Tranche B Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus 4.25% and (ii) each Tranche C Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus 4.75%. - Accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, on the Termination Date, after the Termination Date on demand and (with respect to Eurodollar Loans) upon any repayment or prepayment thereof (on the amount so repaid or prepaid).

Optional
Termination or Reduction of Commitment. Upon at least two (2) Business
Days' prior written notice to the Paying Agent, the Borrower may at any
time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently
reduce, the Unused Total Tranche A Commitment. Each such reduction of the
Tranche A Commitment shall be in the principal amount of $5,000,000 or
any integral multiple thereof. Simultaneously with each termination or
reduction, the Borrower shall pay to the Paying Agent for the account of
each Tranche A Lender the Commitment Fee accrued and unpaid on the amount
of the Tranche A Commitment of such Tranche A Lender so terminated or reduced
through the date thereof. Any such termination or reduction shall be applied
to reduce the Tranche A Commitment of each Tranche A Lender,
the Tranche B Commitment of each Tranche B Lender
and the Tranche [
B]C Commitment of each Tranche [B]C Lender pro rata in accordance with the Combined DIP Total Commitment Percentage of each Tranche A Lender, Tranche B Lender and Tranche [B]C Lender, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may not reduce the Total Tranche A Commitment to an amount that would be less than an amount equal to the Tranche A Reserve as then in effect. - Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan, the Paying Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower absent manifest error) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted LIBOR Rate, the Paying Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written, facsimile or telegraphic notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders, and any request by the Borrower for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (including pursuant to a refinancing with Eurodollar Loans) pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.12 shall be deemed a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans. After such notice shall have been given and until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, each request for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be deemed to be a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans.
- Refinancing of Loans. The Borrower shall have the right, at any time, on three (3) Business Days' prior irrevocable notice to the Paying Agent (which notice, to be effective, must be received by the Paying Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the date of any refinancing), (x) to refinance (without the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4 as a condition to such refinancing) any outstanding Borrowing or Borrowings of Loans of one Type (or a portion thereof) with a Borrowing of Loans of the other Type or (y) to continue an outstanding Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, subject to the following:

- a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans may be refinanced only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; and
- each request for a refinancing with a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans which fails to state an applicable Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one month.
- Mandatory Prepayments; Commitment Termination; Cash Collateral.
- If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Tranche A Loans and the Tranche B Loan plus the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the lesser of (i) the Total Commitment minus the Tranche A Reserve and (ii) the Borrowing Base, the Borrower will, no later than the next Business Day, (x) prepay, first, the Tranche A Loans and, second, the Tranche B Loan in an amount necessary to cause the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Tranche A Loans and the Tranche B Loan plus the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings to be equal to or less than the Borrowing Base and (y) if, after giving effect to the prepayment in full of the Tranche A Loans and the Tranche B Loan, the undrawn amount of outstanding Letter of Credit Outstandings in excess of the amount of cash held in the Letter of Credit Account exceeds the lesser of the Total Commitment and/or the Borrowing Base, as the case may be, deposit into the Letter of Credit Account an amount equal to 105% of the amount by which the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings in excess of the amount of cash held in the Letter of Credit Account so exceeds the Borrowing Base.

The Paying Agent shall, promptly after receiving notice from the Borrower hereunder, notify each Lender of the principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender which are to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the manner of application of the prepayment. - The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender, promptly upon written demand therefor together with backup documentation reasonably supporting such reimbursement request, for any loss incurred or to be incurred by it in the reemployment of the funds released (i) resulting from any prepayment (for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, by acceleration, or by refinancing with ABR Loans) of any Eurodollar Loan required or permitted under this Agreement, if such Loan is prepaid other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (including, without limitation, any such prepayment in connection with the syndication of the credit facility evidenced by this Agreement) or (ii) in the event that after the Borrower delivers a notice of borrowing under Section 2.06 in respect of Eurodollar Loans, such Loans are not made on the first day of the Interest Period specified in such notice of borrowing for any reason other than a breach by such Lender of its obligations hereunder. Such loss shall be the amount as reasonably determined by such Lender as the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on the amount so paid or not borrowed at a rate of interest equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Loan, for the period from the date of such payment or failure to borrow to the last day (x) in the case of a payment or refinancing with ABR Loans other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, of the then current Interest Period for such Loan, or (y) in the case of such failure to borrow, of the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, over (B) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the London interbank market.

Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss as determined by such Lender.
- Any partial prepayment of the Loans by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.13 or 2.14 shall be applied as specified by the Borrower or, in the absence of such specification, as provided for in Section 8.02(b), provided, that in the latter case no Eurodollar Loans shall be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.13 to the extent that such Loan has an Interest Period ending after the required date of prepayment unless and until all outstanding ABR Loans and Eurodollar Loans with Interest Periods ending on such date have been repaid in full.
- The obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the payment of the Loans.
- The Borrower may prepay the entire Tranche C Loan at any time upon at least five (5) Business Days' prior written or facsimile notice to the Tranche C Agent and the Paying Agent. Upon such prepayment of the Tranche C Loans, (i) the Tranche C Lenders hereby authorize and direct the Tranche C Collateral Agent to release the Liens it holds on the Tranche C Priority Collateral and the remainder of the Collateral and (ii) the Tranche A Lenders and the Tranche B Lenders hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to release the junior Liens it holds on the Tranche C Priority Collateral.
- Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.

-
If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption
or effectiveness after the date hereof of any law, rule, regulation or
guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the foregoing
or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any
governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with
the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender
(or any lending office of such Lender) or any Lender's holding company
with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company,
if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Loans made by such Lender
pursuant hereto, such Lender's Tranche A Commitment[
or], Tranche B Commitment or Tranche C Commitment hereunder, as the case may be, or the issuance of, or participation in, any Letter of Credit by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into account Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), in each case, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material (except to the extent that such amount is reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered. - A certificate of each Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered to it within 10 days after its receipt of the same. Any Lender receiving any such payment shall promptly make a refund thereof to the Borrower if the law, regulation, guideline or change in circumstances giving rise to such payment is subsequently deemed or held to be invalid or inapplicable.
- Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period, provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.
- The obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the payment of the Loans.
- Change in Legality.
- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if (x) any change after the date of this Agreement in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof shall make it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to a Eurodollar Loan or (y) at any time any Lender reasonably determines that the making or continuance of any of its Eurodollar Loans has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof which adversely affects the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market, then, by written notice to the Borrower, such Lender may (i) declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and (ii) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below. In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph (a), all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.
- For purposes of this Section 2.16, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall be effective, if lawful, and if any Eurodollar Loans shall then be outstanding, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, otherwise, such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

(v) such assignee appoints and authorizes[
the Agent, the], as applicable, the Agent, the Tranche C Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Tranche C Collateral Agent and the Paying Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to such agents by the terms thereto, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental hereof; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with its terms all obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. -

Neither Tranche C Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall interfere with the Enforcement actions of the Tranche C Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent with respect to Collateral in which such party has the priority lien in accordance with Section 2.23 and this Section 11.

- Post-Bankruptcy Issues. The intercreditor provisions of this Section 11 shall remain effective as to the parties hereto notwithstanding dismissal of the Cases or the conversion of the Cases to case(s) under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.11 or the Tranche C Collateral Agent's status as a party to, as a secured party or grantee under, the Security and Pledge Agreement and the SGR Security Agreement, prior to the final payment or satisfaction in full of the Tranches A and B Obligations and the termination of all Tranche A Commitment and Tranche B Commitment, any modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of the Security and Pledge Agreement and the SGR Security Agreement may be effectuated by the Collateral Agent (acting, to the extent necessary, at the direction of the Lenders required pursuant to Sections 10.10 and 10.11), the Borrower and (in the case of the Security and Pledge Agreement) Guarantors and without the requirement for any consent from the Tranche C Collateral Agent or any of the Tranche C Lenders.
- With respect to (i) actions which may be taken by the Borrower or the Guarantors under any of the Loan Documents only upon having obtained the prior consent (written or otherwise) from a collateral agent, such actions may be taken, to the extent relating to Tranche A and B Priority Collateral, with the consent from the Collateral Agent (having consulted, to the extent applicable, with the other Collateral Agent) without the need for any consent from the Tranche C Collateral Agent and, to the extent relating to Tranche C Priority Collateral, with the consent from the Tranche C Collateral Agent and without the need for any consent from the Collateral Agent, (ii) provisions of the Loan Documents which provide that the Borrower or the Guarantors shall take any action relating to the maintenance or perfection of security interests or provide any information requested by a collateral agent, the Borrower or Guarantors shall comply with any such request from either the Collateral Agent (having consulted, to the extent applicable, with the other Collateral Agent) or the Tranche C Collateral Agent and (iii) any provisions of the Loan Documents which require that the Borrower or the Guarantors provide any notice or information to a collateral agent, such notice or information shall be provided to both the Collateral Agent and the Tranche C Collateral Agent.
- Contesting Liens or Security Interest. Each of the Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Tranche A Lenders and the Tranche B Lenders, and the Tranche C Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Tranche C Lenders, agrees that neither the Collateral Agent (nor the Tranche A Lenders or the Tranche B Lenders) nor the Tranche C Collateral Agent (nor the Tranche C Lenders) shall be entitled to contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of any lien or security interest granted to the other and each of the Collateral Agent and the Tranche C Collateral Agent hereby agrees to reasonably cooperate in the defense of any action contesting the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of such liens or security interest.
- No Benefit to Third Parties. The terms and provisions of this Section 11 shall be for the sole benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Tranche A Lenders, the Tranche B Lenders, the Tranche C Collateral Agent and Tranche C Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person, firm, entity or corporation shall have any right, benefit, priority, or interest under, or because of this Section 11.
- Limitation on Inter-Agent Liability. Except as expressly provided in this Section 11, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Tranche C Collateral Agent shall have any liability to the other except for gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to the performance or non-performance of a duty to the other.

SECTION 8A. THE TRANCHE C AGENT
SECTION 8.01A Administration by the Tranche C Agent. The general administration of the Loan Documents in respect of the Tranche C Loan shall be by the Tranche C Agent. Each Tranche C Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Tranche C Agent, at its discretion, to take or refrain from taking such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise or refrain from exercising such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated by the terms hereof or thereof, as appropriate, together with all powers reasonably incidental thereto (including the release of Collateral in connection with any transaction that is expressly permitted by the Loan Documents). The Tranche C Agent and the Tranche C Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except as set forth in this Agreement and the remaining Loan Documents and shall have no duties or responsibilities with respect to the Tranche A Loans or the Tranche B Loan.
SECTION 8.02A [Intentionally Omitted]
SECTION 8.03A Sharing of Setoffs Among Tranche C Lenders. Each Tranche C Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower, or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of its Tranche C Loan as a result of which the unpaid portion of its Tranche C Loan is proportionately less than the unpaid portion of the Tranche C Loan of any other Tranche C Lender (a) it shall promptly purchase at par (and shall be deemed to have thereupon purchased) from such other Tranche C Lender a participation in the Tranche C Loan of such other Tranche C Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each Tranche C Lender's Tranche C Loan and its participation in Tranche C Loan of the other Tranche C Lenders shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Tranche C Loan then outstanding as the principal amount of its Tranche C Loan prior to the obtaining of such payment was to the principal amount of all Tranche C Loan outstanding prior to the obtaining of such payment and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that the Tranche C Lenders share such payment pro-rata, provided that if any such non-pro-rata payment is thereafter recovered or otherwise set aside such purchase of participations shall be rescinded (without interest). The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Tranche C Lender holding (or deemed to be holding) a participation in a Tranche C Loan may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff (in each case, subject to the same notice requirements as pertain to clause (iv) of the remedial provisions of Section 7.01) or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender as fully as if such Lender were the original obligee thereon, in the amount of such participation.
SECTION 8.04A Agreement of Requisite Tranche C Lenders. Upon any occasion requiring or permitting an approval, consent, waiver, election or other action on the part of the applicable percentage of Tranche C Lenders, action shall be taken by (x) the Tranche C Agent or, (y) in the case of certain action in respect of enforcement of remedies against the Collateral by the Tranche C Collateral Agent, in either case for and on behalf or for the benefit of all Tranche C Lenders, upon the direction of the applicable percentage of Tranche C Lenders, and any such action shall be binding on all Tranche C Lenders. No amendment, modification, consent, or waiver shall be effective except in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.11.
SECTION 8.05A Liability of Tranche C Agent.
SECTION 8.07A Rights of Tranche C Agent. For so long as JPMorgan Chase is a Tranche C Lender, it is understood and agreed that JPMorgan Chase shall have the same rights and powers hereunder (including the right to give such instructions) as the other Tranche C Lenders and may exercise such rights and powers, as well as its rights and powers under other agreements and instruments to which it is or may be party, and engage in other transactions with the Borrower or any Guarantor, as though it were not an agent of the Tranche C Lenders under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.08A Independent Lenders. Each Tranche C Lender acknowledges that it has decided to enter into this Agreement and to make the Tranche C Loan hereunder based on its own analysis of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the intercreditor provisions contained in Section 11) and of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Guarantors and agrees that the Tranche C Agent shall bear no responsibility therefor.
SECTION 8.09A Notice of Transfer. The Paying Agent may deem and treat a Tranche C Lender party to this Agreement as the owner of such Tranche C Lender's portion of the Tranche C Loan for all purposes, unless and until an Assignment and Acceptance with respect thereto has been accepted and recorded by the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 10.03(b).
SECTION 8.10A Successor Agents. The Tranche C Agent or the Paying Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Tranche C Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any resignation by the Tranche C Agent, the Tranche C Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor for the Tranche C Agent, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Tranche C Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring agent's giving of notice of resignation, the retiring agent may, on behalf of the Tranche C Lenders, appoint a successor agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of a least $100,000,000, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as agent hereunder by a successor agent, such successor agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring agent, and the retiring agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring agent's resignation hereunder as agent, the provisions of this Section 8A shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was agent under this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have
caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the day and the year first
written.

DESCRIPTION OF SLOT TRANSACTIONS
This Exhibit has reference to (i) the Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Guaranty Agreement dated as of December 24, 2002 (as at any time modified, the "Credit Agreement") among United Air Lines, Inc. (the "Borrower"), the Guarantors named therein, the Lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMCB") and Citicorp USA, Inc. ("CITI"), as co-administrative agents, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as paying agent) (ii) the Waiver, Consent and Thirteenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement dated as of August 11, 2005 (the "Thirteenth Amendment") and (iii) the Slot, Gate and Route Security and Pledge Agreement, dated as of December 24, 2002 (as at any time modified, the "SGR Agreement"), by and between the Borrower, JPMorgan Chase and CITI as "Collateral Agent" and JPMorgan Chase as "Tranche C Collateral Agent." All terms used herein that are defined in the Credit Agreement have the same meanings herein.
- General Description of Slot Transactions.
- Summary of Present Exchange.
- Specific Requests with Respect to Loan Documents.
- Agreements; Effectiveness; Miscellaneous.
The Borrower has requested that, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the Credit Agreement or the SGR Agreement, it be permitted
to: (a) exchange one pair of Primary Foreign Slots located at London Heathrow
Airport and described on Schedule I to this Exhibit E to the Thirteenth
Amendment (the "Present Exchanged Slots") for a corresponding number
of slots located at London Heathrow Airport to be determined at the time
of the exchange (the "Present Replacement Slots") (such transactions,
the "Present Transactions") and (b) exchange one additional pair
of Primary Foreign Slots located at London Heathrow Airport which pair
of Primary Foreign Slots shall be acceptable to the Collateral Agents and
the Appraiser in their respective reasonable discretion (the "Future
Exchanged Slots") for a corresponding number of slots located at London
Heathrow Airport to be determined at the time of the exchange (the "Future
Replacement Slots") (such transactions, the "Future Transactions";
and together with the Present Transactions, the "Slot Transactions").
For commercial reasons, the Borrower may decide to return the Present Replacement
Slots and the Future Replacement Slots to the slot coordinator for London
Heathrow Airport following the consummation of the Present Transactions
(and, in the case of the Future Replacement Slots, following the consummation
of the Future Transactions). A narrative description of the Present Transactions
is provided in the summary from the Borrower contained in Section B of
this Exhibit E. The final documentation relating to the Slot Transactions
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
The Borrower has requested that the Lenders consent to the consummation of each of the Slot Transactions.
Exchange Agreement with Third Party.
The Borrower and a third party airline reasonably acceptable to the Agents ("TP") are negotiating an exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") under which United and TP will exchange one pair of Primary Foreign Slots for each of the summer and winter seasons at London Heathrow Airport. As part of this transaction, the Borrower may, for commercial reasons, return the Replacement Slots it receives to the London Heathrow Slot Coordinator following consummation of the exchange. At a later date to be mutually agreed, the Borrower may have the right to require TP to enter into and perform a mirror exchange pursuant to which the Borrower would receive back all of the Primary Foreign Slots it exchanged with TP. The proposed Exchange Agreement will enable the Borrower to better match its current operations at London Heathrow with demand, while both maintaining its ability to use the exchanged Primary Foreign Slots in the future and providing the Borrower with economic benefit as a result of such agreement.
SGR Agreement
The Borrower specifically requested that:
(1) notwithstanding the limitations on dispositions of Collateral (as defined in the SGR Agreement) or the provisions relating to the maintenance or preservation of such Collateral contained in Sections 6(a)(ii), 6(c), 6(e), 6(f) and 6(g) of the SGR Agreement, and pursuant to the terms of the Slot Transactions described on Section B hereof, the Lenders consent to (i) the transfer of the Present Exchanged Slots and the Future Exchanged Slots and (ii) in the event the Borrower determines to return the Present Replacement Slots or the Future Replacement Slots, the return of such slots; and
(2) upon the consummation of the Slot Transactions pursuant to the terms described in this Exhibit E to the Thirteenth Amendment (including Section B hereof), the Present Exchanged Slots and the Present Replacement Slots and, upon the consummation of the Future Exchange, the Future Exchanged Slots and the Future Replacement Slots be excluded from the representations and warranties required pursuant to Sections 4(a), (b), (f) and (i) of the SGR Agreement.
Credit Agreement
The Borrower also specifically requested that:
(1) notwithstanding the affirmative covenants regarding the use, maintenance and preservation of Primary Foreign Slots, Primary Routes and Supporting Route Facilities contained in Sections 5.14 and 5.15 of the Credit Agreement and pursuant to the terms of the Slot Transactions described in this Exhibit E to the Thirteenth Amendment (including Section B hereof), the Lenders consent to (i) the transfer of the Present Exchanged Slots and the Future Exchanged Slots and (ii) in the event that the Borrower determines to return the Present Replacement Slots or the Future Replacement Slots, the return of such slots; and
(2) upon the consummation of the Slot Transactions pursuant to the terms described in this Exhibit E to the Thirteenth Amendment (including Section B hereof), the Present Exchanged Slots and the Present Replacement Slots and, upon the exercise of the Future Exchange, the Future Exchanged Slots and the Future Replacement Slots, be excluded from the representations and warranties required pursuant to Section 3.13 of the Credit Agreement with respect to Primary Foreign Slots.
By their execution and delivery of the Thirteenth Amendment, the Lenders hereby agree to the consents and waivers requested herein; provided, however, that effectiveness of the consents and waivers granted herein shall be subject to the final terms and conditions of the Slot Transactions being satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and to the Appraiser in their respective sole and absolute discretion.
The consents set forth in this Exhibit shall not become effective until the Effective Date (as defined in the Thirteenth Amendment).

This Exhibit has reference to (i) the Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Guaranty Agreement dated as of December 24, 2002 (as at any time modified, the "Credit Agreement") among United Air Lines, Inc. (the "Borrower"), the Guarantors named therein, the Lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMCB") and Citicorp USA, Inc. ("CITI"), as co-administrative agents, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as paying agent) (ii) the Waiver, Consent and Thirteenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement dated as of August 11, 2005 (the "Thirteenth Amendment") and (iii) the Slot, Gate and Route Security and Pledge Agreement, dated as of December 24, 2002 (as at any time modified, the "SGR Agreement"), by and between the Borrower, JPMorgan Chase and CITI as "Collateral Agent" and JPMorgan Chase as "Tranche C Collateral Agent." All terms used herein that are defined in the Credit Agreement have the same meanings herein.
SECTION A. General Description of Slot Transactions.
The Borrower has requested that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement or the SGR Agreement, it be permitted to: (a) exchange one pair of Primary Foreign Slots located at London Heathrow Airport and described on Schedule I to this Exhibit E to the Thirteenth Amendment (the "Present Exchanged Slots") for a corresponding number of slots located at London Heathrow Airport to be determined at the time of the exchange (the "Present Replacement Slots") (such transactions, the "Present Transactions") and (b) exchange one additional pair of Primary Foreign Slots located at London Heathrow Airport which pair of Primary Foreign Slots shall be acceptable to the Collateral Agents and the Appraiser in their respective reasonable discretion (the "Future Exchanged Slots") for a corresponding number of slots located at London Heathrow Airport to be determined at the time of the exchange (the "Future Replacement Slots") (such transactions, the "Future Transactions"; and together with the Present Transactions, the "Slot Transactions"). For commercial reasons, the Borrower may decide to return the Present Replacement Slots and the Future Replacement Slots to the slot coordinator for London Heathrow Airport following the consummation of the Present Transactions (and, in the case of the Future Replacement Slots, following the consummation of the Future Transactions). A narrative description of the Present Transactions is provided in the summary from the Borrower contained in Section B of this Exhibit E. The final documentation relating to the Slot Transactions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
- The Borrower has requested that the Lenders consent to the
consummation of each of the Slot Transactions.
- Exchange Agreement with Third Party.
The Borrower and a third party airline reasonably acceptable to the Agents ("TP") are negotiating an exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") under which United and TP will exchange one pair of Primary Foreign Slots for each of the summer and winter seasons at London Heathrow Airport. As part of this transaction, the Borrower may, for commercial reasons, return the Replacement Slots it receives to the London Heathrow Slot Coordinator following consummation of the exchange. At a later date to be mutually agreed, the Borrower may have the right to require TP to enter into and perform a mirror exchange pursuant to which the Borrower would receive back all of the Primary Foreign Slots it exchanged with TP. The proposed Exchange Agreement will enable the Borrower to better match its current operations at London Heathrow with demand, while both maintaining its ability to use the exchanged Primary Foreign Slots in the future and providing the Borrower with economic benefit as a result of such agreement.
- SGR Agreement
The Borrower specifically requested that:
(1) notwithstanding the limitations on dispositions of Collateral (as defined in the SGR Agreement) or the provisions relating to the maintenance or preservation of such Collateral contained in Sections 6(a)(ii), 6(c), 6(e), 6(f) and 6(g) of the SGR Agreement, and pursuant to the terms of the Slot Transactions described on Section B hereof, the Lenders consent to (i) the transfer of the Present Exchanged Slots and the Future Exchanged Slots and (ii) in the event the Borrower determines to return the Present Replacement Slots or the Future Replacement Slots, the return of such slots; and
(2) upon the consummation of the Slot Transactions pursuant to the terms described in this Exhibit E to the Thirteenth Amendment (including Section B hereof), the Present Exchanged Slots and the Present Replacement Slots and, upon the consummation of the Future Exchange, the Future Exchanged Slots and the Future Replacement Slots be excluded from the representations and warranties required pursuant to Sections 4(a), (b), (f) and (i) of the SGR Agreement.
Credit Agreement
The Borrower also specifically requested that:
(1) notwithstanding the affirmative covenants regarding the use, maintenance and preservation of Primary Foreign Slots, Primary Routes and Supporting Route Facilities contained in Sections 5.14 and 5.15 of the Credit Agreement and pursuant to the terms of the Slot Transactions described in this Exhibit E to the Thirteenth Amendment (including Section B hereof), the Lenders consent to (i) the transfer of the Present Exchanged Slots and the Future Exchanged Slots and (ii) in the event that the Borrower determines to return the Present Replacement Slots or the Future Replacement Slots, the return of such slots; and
(2) upon the consummation of the Slot Transactions pursuant to the terms described in this Exhibit E to the Thirteenth Amendment (including Section B hereof), the Present Exchanged Slots and the Present Replacement Slots and, upon the exercise of the Future Exchange, the Future Exchanged Slots and the Future Replacement Slots, be excluded from the representations and warranties required pursuant to Section 3.13 of the Credit Agreement with respect to Primary Foreign Slots.
The Borrower and the Lenders hereby agree that Schedule 1.01(b) to the Credit Agreement and Schedule 4(f) to the SGR Agreement shall be deemed to be modified to reflect the removal of the Present Exchanged Slots and the Future Exchanged Slots upon the consummation of the Present Exchange and the Future Exchange, respectively.
By their execution and delivery of the Thirteenth Amendment, the Lenders hereby agree to the consents and waivers requested herein; provided, however, that effectiveness of the consents and waivers granted herein shall be subject to the final terms and conditions of the Slot Transactions being satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and to the Appraiser in their respective sole and absolute discretion.
The
consents set forth in this Exhibit shall not become effective until the
Effective Date (as defined in the Thirteenth Amendment).

JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as
TRANCHE C COLLATERAL AGENT"
(such nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of any successor Collateral Agent, in each case as permitted under the Loan Documents).
Except as above provided, the Grantor will not allow the name of any Person to be placed on any Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine as a designation that might be interpreted as a claim of ownership; provided, that nothing herein contained shall prohibit the Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) from (i) placing its customary colors and insignia on an Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine or (ii) placing such nameplates reflecting the liens on such Aircraft, Engine or Spare Engine held by the Tranche A and B Collateral Agent as required by Section 2.01(c) of the Tranche A and B Aircraft Mortgage.
(d) Substitution of Engines. The Grantor may at any time, at no cost to the Collateral Agent, replace any Engine or Spare Engine subjected to the Lien hereof by causing an engine to be substituted for such Engine or Spare Engine hereunder in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01(b) hereof to the same extent as if an Event of Loss has occurred with respect to such Engine or Spare Engine.
Section 2.02. Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations, Modifications and Additions.
(a) Replacement of Parts. The Grantor, at its own cost and expense, will promptly replace or cause to be replaced all Parts which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(c). All replacement Parts shall be owned by the Grantor free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Encumbrances, pooling arrangements permitted by Section 2.02(b) hereof and replacement parts temporarily installed on an emergency basis) and shall be in as good an operating condition as, and shall have a value and utility at least equal to, the Parts replaced assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof. All Parts at any time removed from any Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine shall remain the property of the Grantor and subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by Parts which meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified herein. Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to the applicable Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine, without further act (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and any pooling arrangement permitted by Section 2.02(b) hereof and except replacement parts temporarily installed on an emergency basis), such replacement Part shall become the property of the Grantor and subject to the Lien of this Mortgage and be deemed a Part for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine and the replaced Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder.
(b) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from any Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine as provided in Section 2.02(a) hereof may be subjected by the Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) to a pooling arrangement of the type which is permitted by Section 2.01(b)(i) hereof; provided, that the Part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine in accordance with Section 2.02(a) as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part. In addition, any replacement Part when incorporated or installed in or attached to an Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine in accordance with such Sections may be owned by any third party subject to such a pooling arrangement, provided, that the Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee), at its expense, as promptly thereafter as practicable, either (i) causes such replacement Part to become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances or (ii) replaces such replacement Part with a further replacement Part owned by the Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) which shall become the property of the Grantor and subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances.
(c) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. The Grantor, at its own expense, will make (or cause to be made) such alterations and modifications in and additions to each Airframe, Engine and Spare Engine as may be required to be made from time to time so as to comply with any law, rule, regulation or order of any regulatory agency or body of any jurisdiction in which an Aircraft may then be registered or any Engine or Spare Engine may be located; provided, however, that the Grantor or any Permitted Lessee may, in good faith, and by appropriate proceedings contest the validity or application of any such law, rule, regulation or order in any reasonable manner which does not adversely affect the Collateral Agent or any Lender or any of their respective legal and economic interests in or to such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine, subject any such Person to risk of any material civil or any criminal penalties, or involve any material damage of loss or forfeiture of title to any Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine. In addition, the Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee), at its own expense, may from time to time make such alterations and modifications in and additions to any Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine as the Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including removal of Parts which the Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) deems to be obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine (such parts, "Obsolete Parts"); provided that no such alteration, modification, removal or addition impairs the condition or airworthiness of such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine, or materially diminishes the value or utility of such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine below the condition, airworthiness, value or utility thereof immediately prior to such alteration, modification, removal or addition assuming such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine was then in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Mortgage. In addition, the value (but not the utility, condition or airworthiness) of an Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine may be reduced by the value, if any, of Obsolete Parts which shall have been removed so long as the aggregate fair market value of all Obsolete Parts which shall have been removed and not replaced with respect to any Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine shall not exceed $100,000 in the aggregate ($150,000 in the case of any Boeing 747 or 777 Aircraft), unless the Collateral Agent agrees otherwise in writing, in its reasonable discretion. All Parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to an Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine as the result of such alteration, modification or addition (except those parts which are excluded from the definition of Parts or which may be removed by the Grantor pursuant to the next sentence) (the "Additional Parts") shall, without further act, become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) may, at its own expense, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, remove or suffer to be removed any Additional Part, provided that such Additional Part (i) is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of or substitution for any such Part, (ii) is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph (c) and (iii) can be removed from such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine without diminishing the condition, airworthiness, fair market value or utility of such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine which such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine would have had at such time had such alteration, modification or addition not occurred. Upon the removal thereof as provided above, such Additional Part shall no longer be deemed to be subject to the Lien of this Mortgage or part of such Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine from which it was removed.
(d) Certain Matters Regarding Passenger Convenience Equipment. The Grantor may at any time and from time to time hereafter install on any Airframe, subject to the requirements of Section 2.02(c) above, Passenger Convenience Equipment that is (i) owned by another Person and leased to the Grantor, (ii) sold to the Grantor by another Person subject to a conditional sale contract or other retained security interest, (iii) leased to the Grantor pursuant to a lease which is subject to a security interest in favor of another Person or (iv) installed on such Airframe subject to a license granted to the Grantor by another Person, provided that (x) the Collateral Agent will not acquire or claim, as against any such other Person, any right, title or interest in any such Passenger Convenience Equipment solely as a result of its installation on such Airframe, (y) the Grantor shall notify such Person of Collateral Agent's interest in such Airframe and (z) the Grantor shall procure that, upon the occurrence of any default under the applicable lease, conditional sales agreement, security agreement or license, such Person shall not be entitled to repossess such Passenger Convenience Equipment unless it shall, in connection with such repossession, undertake to restore such Airframe to the condition it had been in had the installation of such Passenger Convenience Equipment not occurred. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, nothing contained in this Mortgage shall in any way limit the Collateral Agent's right to assert any Lien arising unto the Collateral Agent under the Thirteenth Amendment Order.
Section 2.03. Insurance.
(a) Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance. Except as provided in clause (2) of this Section 2.03(a), the Grantor will at all times (including when the Grantor is required to carry war risk insurance and terrorism risk insurance pursuant to Section 2.03(c)) carry or cause to be carried with respect to each Aircraft and each airframe on which an Engine or Spare Engine shall be installed at its or any Permitted Lessee's expense (i) comprehensive airline liability (including, without limitation, passenger, contractual, bodily injury, and property damage liability and product liability) insurance (exclusive of manufacturer's product liability insurance) and (ii) cargo liability insurance, in each case (A) in an amount not less than the greater of (x) the amounts of comprehensive airline liability insurance from time to time applicable to aircraft owned or leased and operated by the Grantor of the same type as such Aircraft (or aircraft) and (y) the Minimum Liability Insurance Amount, (B) of the type and covering the same risks as from time to time are applicable to aircraft owned or leased and operated by the Grantor of the same type as such Aircraft (or aircraft), and (C) which is maintained in effect with insurers (or reinsurers) of nationally or internationally recognized reputation and responsibility; provided, however, that the Grantor may maintain cargo liability insurance in an amount less than the Minimum Liability Insurance Amount, as long as the amount of cargo liability insurance maintained with respect to the affected Aircraft (or aircraft) is the same as the amount of such coverage which is customarily maintained by major U.S. cargo carriers.
(2) During any period that an Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine, as the case may be, is on the ground and not in operation, the Grantor may carry or cause to be carried as to such non-operating property, in lieu of the insurance required by clause (1) above, insurance by insurers of recognized reputation and responsibility otherwise conforming with the provisions of clause (1) above except that (A) the amounts of coverage shall not be required to exceed the amounts of comprehensive airline liability insurance from time to time applicable to property owned or leased by the Grantor of the same type as such non-operating property and which is on the ground and not in operation and (B) the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time shall be applicable to property owned or leased by the Grantor of the same type as such non-operating property and which is on the ground and not in operation.
(b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage to the Aircraft. Except as provided in clause (2) of this Section 2.03(b), the Grantor shall maintain or cause to be maintained in effect, at its or any Permitted Lessee's expense, with insurers of recognized reputation and responsibility, "all-risk" aircraft hull insurance covering each Aircraft, Engine and Spare Engine and fire and extended coverage and "all-risk" aircraft hull insurance covering Engines, Spare Engines and Parts while temporarily removed from an Airframe or airframe and not replaced by similar components; provided, that such insurance shall at all times while such Aircraft, Engine or Spare Engine is subject to this Mortgage be for an amount not less than the Insured Amount for such Aircraft, Engine or Spare Engine; provided, further, that such "all-risk" property damage insurance covering Engines, Spare Engines and Parts while temporarily removed from an Airframe or an airframe or (in the case of Parts) an Engine or Spare Engine need be obtained only to the extent commercially available at a reasonable cost (as reasonably determined by the Grantor) and then regularly obtained by major U.S. airlines.
All losses will be adjusted by the Grantor (giving due regard to the interests of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders) with the insurers; provided, however, that during a period when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Grantor shall not agree to any such adjustment without the consent of the Collateral Agent (other than in the case of losses with respect to Tranche A and B Priority Collateral prior to the indefeasible payment in full of the Tranche A and B Aircraft Mortgage, which shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.03(b) of the Tranche A and B Aircraft Mortgage). As between the Collateral Agent and the Grantor, it is agreed that all proceeds of insurance maintained in compliance with the preceding paragraph and received as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss will be remitted to the Collateral Agent and applied in the manner described in Section 3.01 hereof.
(2) During any period that an Aircraft, Engine or Spare Engine is on the ground and not in operation, the Grantor may carry or cause to be carried, in lieu of the insurance required by clause (1) above, insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said clause (1) except that the scope of the risks and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time applicable to aircraft and/or engines owned or leased by the Grantor of the same type as such Aircraft, Engine or Spare Engine, as the case may be, similarly on the ground and not in operation, provided, that the Grantor shall maintain insurance against risk of loss or damage to such Aircraft, Engine or Spare Engine in an amount at least equal to the Insured Amount of such Aircraft, Engine or Spare Engine during such period that such Aircraft, Engine or Spare Engine is on the ground and not in operation.
(c) War-Risk, Hijacking and Related Perils Insurance. In addition to (and not in limitation of) its obligations under Section 5.03 of the Credit Agreement, the Grantor agrees that the Grantor shall maintain or cause to be maintained world-wide coverage of war-risk, hijacking and related perils insurance of substantially the same type carried by major United States commercial air carriers operating the same or comparable models of aircraft on such routes and in no event in an amount less than (x) the amounts set forth in Section 2.03(a) hereof with respect to liability coverage and (y) the Insured Amount for such Aircraft, Airframe, Engine or Spare Engine, and such insurance shall, to the extent available, cover the perils of (i) war, invasion, acts of foreign enemies, hostilities (whether war be declared or not), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, martial law, military or usurped power or attempts at usurpation of power, (ii) strikes, riots, civil commotions or labor disturbances, (iii) any act of one or more persons, whether or not agents of a sovereign power, for political or terrorist purposes and whether the loss or damage resulting therefrom is accidental or intentional, (iv) any vandalism, malicious act or act of sabotage, (v) confiscation, nationalization, seizure, restraint, detention, diversion, appropriation, requisition for title or use by or under the order of any government (whether civil, military or de facto) (other than the government of registry) or public or local authority and (vi) hijacking, or any unlawful seizure or wrongful exercise of control of any aircraft or crew in flight (including any attempt at such seizure or control) made by any person or persons on board any aircraft acting without the consent of the insured (including if committed by persons engaged in a program of irregular warfare for terrorist purposes).
(d) Reports, etc. The Grantor will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Collateral Agent on or before the Closing Date, and each annual renewal of the applicable insurances, a report, signed by AON Risk Services of Illinois, Inc. or any other independent firm of insurance brokers reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent which brokers may be in the regular employ of the Grantor (the "Insurance Brokers"), describing in reasonable detail the hull and liability insurance (and property insurance for detached engines and parts) then carried and maintained with respect to each Aircraft, Engine and Spare Engine and stating the opinion of such firm that (i) such insurance complies with the terms hereof, (ii) all premiums in connection with such insurance then due have been paid and (iii) such insurance provides coverages against risks that are customarily insured against by major U.S. air carriers and that such coverages are in substantially similar forms, are of such types and have limits as are customarily carried by major U.S. air carriers (but in no event less than what is required under the Credit Agreement with respect thereto); provided that all information contained in the foregoing report shall not be made available by the Collateral Agent to anyone except (A) to any Lender's or to prospective and permitted transferees of the Collateral Agent's or any Lender's interest or its respective counsel, independent certified public accountants, independent insurance brokers or other agents, who agree to hold such information confidential, (B) to the Collateral Agent's or any Lender's counsel or independent certified public accountants, independent insurance brokers or other agents who agree to hold such information confidential, (C) as may be required by any statute, court or administrative order or decree or governmental ruling or regulation or (D) as may be necessary for purposes of protecting the interest of any such Person or for enforcement of this Mortgage by the Collateral Agent; provided, further, that any and all disclosures permitted by clause (C) above shall be made only to the extent necessary to meet the specific requirements or needs of the Persons to whom such disclosures are hereby permitted. The Grantor will cause such Insurance Broker to agree to advise the Collateral Agent and the Lenders promptly in writing of any default in the payment of any premium and of any act or omission on the part of the Grantor of which it has knowledge and which might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on such Aircraft or Spare Engine and to advise such Persons in writing at least 30 days (20 days in the case of lapse for nonpayment of premiums and 7 days in the case of war risk and allied perils coverage) prior to the cancellation (but not expiration), lapse for non-payment of premium or material adverse change of any insurance maintained pursuant to this Section 2.03; provided that if the notice period specified above is not reasonably obtainable, the Insurance Broker shall provide for as long a period of prior notice as shall then be reasonably obtainable. In addition, the Grantor will also cause such Insurance Broker to deliver to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, on or prior to the date of expiration of any insurance policy referenced in a previously delivered certificate of insurance, a new certificate of insurance, substantially in the same form as delivered by the Grantor to such parties on the Closing Date except for changes in the report or the coverage consistent with the terms hereof. In the event that the Grantor shall fail to maintain or cause to be maintained insurance as herein provided, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may, at its sole option, but shall be under no duty to, provide such insurance and, in such event, the Grantor shall, upon demand, reimburse the Collateral Agent or such Lender, for the cost thereof to the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, together with interest on such cost at a rate of interest equal to the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 5.25% from the date of such payment by the Collateral Agent or such Lender to the date of reimbursement without waiver of any other rights the Collateral Agent or such Lender may have; provided, however, that no exercise by the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of said option shall affect the provisions of this Mortgage, including the provisions that failure by the Grantor to maintain the prescribed insurance shall constitute an Event of Default.
(e) Additional Insurance by the Grantor. The Grantor (and any Permitted Lessee) may at its own expense carry insurance with respect to its interest in the Aircraft, Engines and Spare Engines in amounts in excess of that required to be maintained by this Section 2.03.
(f) Engine and Spare Part Insurance. The Grantor shall maintain insurance or reinsurance with financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliated with the Grantor, with respect to any Engine, Spare Engine and any Spare Part not (i) installed on an Aircraft or Airframe or (ii) otherwise constituting part of an Aircraft or Airframe, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Credit Agreement.
(g) Indemnification by Government in Lieu of Insurance. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 2.03 requiring insurance, the Collateral Agent agrees to accept, in lieu of insurance against any risk with respect to the Aircraft, Engines and Spare Engines, indemnification from, or insurance provided by, the United States Government, against such risk in an amount which, when added to the amount of insurance against such risk maintained by the Grantor (or any Permitted Lessee) shall be at least equal to the amount of insurance against such risk otherwise required by this Section 2.03. Any such indemnification or insurance provided by the United States Government shall provide substantially similar protection as the insurance required by this Section 2.03.

The Grantor does hereby assume liability for, and does hereby agree (whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated and whether or not also indemnified by any manufacturer or subcontractor or any other Person, and without necessity of recourse thereto prior to recourse against the Grantor) to indemnify, protect, defend, save and hold harmless and keep whole the Collateral Agent, each Agent, each Lender, any affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons, and any officer, director, employee, and agent of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an "Indemnified Person") from and against any and all liabilities (including but not limited to liabilities arising out of the doctrine of strict or absolute liability with or without fault in tort or otherwise or arising out of violation of applicable law of any kind), obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, judgments, costs, expenses and disbursements (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses and costs of investigation), whether any of the foregoing be founded or unfounded, of whatsoever kind and nature that maybe imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Person, and in any way relating to or arising out of (i) the Collateral, or any part thereof, or of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the performance of all obligations of the Grantor under the Loan Documents and payments made pursuant thereto or any other transactions contemplated thereby), (ii) any Default, Event of Default or Event of Loss or (iii) the design, manufacture, testing, financing, construction, purchase, acceptance, non-acceptance, possession, rejection, control, ownership, registration, delivery, nondelivery, use, operation, leasing, subleasing, storage, modification, replacement, substitution, pooling, interchange, condition, maintenance, repair, overhaul, sale, return, abandonment, redelivery or other disposition of, or the imposition of any Lien (or incurrence of any liability to refund or pay over any amount as a result of any Lien) on, the Collateral or any interest therein, including, without limitation, any claim or penalty arising out of violations of applicable laws, or in tort (strict or otherwise), latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable by any Indemnified Person or any other Person, loss of or damage to any property or the environment, death of or injury to any person, and any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement (collectively, "Expenses"); provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not extend to (i) any Expenses of any Indemnified Person to the extent solely resulting from or arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person, other than willful misconduct or gross negligence imputed to such Indemnified Person solely by reason of its interest in the Collateral or the Loan Documents and other than willful misconduct or gross negligence that shall have been on the part of the Grantor in acting on behalf of such Indemnified Person, (ii) any Expenses that result solely from an Indemnified Person's breach of any Loan Document (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), (iii) any Expenses that result solely from any transfer of a Lender's interest under the Loan Documents or (iv) any Expenses, to the extent the same constitute Excluded Taxes.
The Grantor (and, at the Grantor's option, its insurers) shall investigate and defend any matter for which indemnification is sought under this Section and may employ for such purpose the counsel of its choosing (which counsel shall, however, be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person) and each Indemnified Person shall, at the Grantors' expense, cooperate with the Grantor (or such insurers) with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Grantor (and, unless required by a policy which insures the indemnified matter, such insurers) shall not be entitled to defend any such matter if (x) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (y) there is, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Person, an actual risk of a finding of criminal liability or a material danger of the sale, forfeiture, loss of, or the creation of a Lien on or with respect to, the Collateral or any part thereof. In any instance in which the Grantor shall be controlling the defense of any action, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate therein.
The Grantor will pay interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus 5.5% to the relevant Indemnified Person for any indemnities not paid when due, payable 10 days after notice. The rights of any Indemnified Person under this Section shall not be affected by any insurance maintained by or for the benefit of such Indemnified Person and which the Indemnified Person or any of its affiliates obtained for their own account.
Section 6.10. Intercreditor Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the terms of this Mortgage (including, without limitation, the relative priorities between the liens granted to the Collateral Agent and the Tranche A and B Collateral Agent), and any rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent provided for herein, shall be subject to the intercreditor provisions contained in Section 11 of the Credit Agreement and in the event of any inconsistency between any provisions herein and therein, the provisions contained in Section 11 of the Credit Agreement shall govern.
