purchase from the Seller from time to time during the Revolving Period,

time as to such Purchaser not to exceed the amount of such Purchaser's

shall give the Managing Facility Agent irrevocable notice, which notice must be

such notice, which shall be in the form of Exhibit H, shall specify (i) the

Eligible Receivables the Seller proposes to sell on such Settlement Date, and so
long as no Rating Event has occurred and is continuing, the Purchasers agree,
subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, to purchase an interest
in each such Receivable, the Purchase Price of which would otherwise exceed the
amount of the Available Commitments, up to the aggregate Available Commitments
then in effect. The Purchase Price for each such Receivable shall be deemed to
be the Principal Balance able to be purchased under the Available Commitments;
provided that the Available Commitments shall first be applied to purchase
Receivables other than Participated Receivables to the fullest extent available
and next to purchase Participated Receivables. The portion of each such
Receivable not available to be purchased by the Purchasers shall be an interest
of the Seller in such Receivable and shall represent the Seller's Interest in
such Participated Receivable. The Seller's Interest in each Participated
Receivable shall be subordinated and junior to the rights of the Purchasers in
accordance with the terms and conditions of subsection 2.4(b). The portion of
any Participated Receivable representing the Seller's Interest therein shall be,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, available as a Receivable
for purchase by the Purchasers on subsequent Settlement Dates.
(b) The Seller's Interest in and to each Participated

rights to the rights of the Purchasers with respect to such Participated
Receivable, including, but not limited to, the rights of the Purchasers to
receive all Principal Collections and Finance Charge Collections on such
Participated Receivable. Such subordination shall be in effect until the
Principal Balance purchased by the Purchasers of the Participated Receivable,
after application of Principal Collections received on account of such
Participated Receivable, has been reduced to zero and, accordingly, the Seller
shall not (except as provided in subsection 2.16(b)) be entitled to receive any
amounts with respect to a Participated Receivable on account of the Seller's
Interest therein until such time. If the Seller receives any payment on account
of the Seller's Interest in any Participated Receivable prior to the time at
which it is entitled to retain such payment pursuant to this subsection 2.4(b),
the Seller shall hold such payment in trust for the Managing Facility Agent and
the Purchasers and shall immediately deposit such payment into the Concentration

2.5 Extended Term Receivables. (a) The Purchasers agree, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date and any Settlement Date to

Receivable on the last day of the Settlement Period preceding the date of
purchase less (b) the aggregate amount of principal payments scheduled to be
made thereon after the Cash Flow Cutoff Date for such Extended Term Receivable.
The portion of each such Receivable not available to be purchased by the
Purchasers shall be an interest of the Seller in such Receivable and shall
represent the Seller's Interest in such Extended Term Receivable. The Seller's
Interest in each Extended Term Receivable shall be subordinated and junior to
the rights of the Purchasers in accordance with the terms and conditions of
subsection 2.5(b). The portion of the actual unpaid principal balance of any
Extended Term Receivable representing the Seller's Interest therein shall be,
subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, that
principal payments scheduled to be made after the applicable Cash Flow Cutoff
Date at any date of determination are not available for purchase under this
Agreement), available for purchase by the Purchasers on subsequent Settlement
Dates.
(b) The Seller's Interest in and to each Extended Term
Receivable shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment and all other
rights to the rights of the Purchasers with respect to such Extended Term
Receivable, including, but not limited to, the rights of the Purchasers to
receive all Principal Collections and Finance Charge Collections on such
Extended Term Receivable. Such subordination shall be in effect until the
Principal Balance purchased by the Purchasers of the Extended Term Receivable,
after application of Principal Collections received on account of such Extended
Term Receivable, has been reduced to zero and, accordingly, the Seller shall not
be entitled to receive any amounts with respect to a Extended Term Receivable on
account of the Seller's Interest therein until such time. If the Seller receives
any payment on account of the Seller's Interest in any Extended Term Receivable
prior to the time at which it is entitled to retain such payment pursuant to
this subsection 2.5(b), the Seller shall hold such payment in trust for the
Managing Facility Agent and the Purchasers and shall immediately deposit such
payment into the Concentration Account.
2.6 Certain Actions Following a Rating Event and a Discount Event. (a) If a
Rating Event shall occur, then no later than the 20th Business Day following
such occurrence (provided such Rating Event shall then be continuing) the Seller
shall deposit cash into the Cash Collateral Account an amount equal to the
Repurchase Percentage times the aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price (as of the
Settlement Date preceding such date of deposit). As long as any Rating Event
continues, any amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Account shall be applied
from time to time in accordance with subsection 2.14(c). If such Rating Event
shall cease to continue, the Managing Facility Agent shall, upon written request
of the Seller, withdraw amounts so deposited in the Cash Collateral Account and
deliver such amounts to the Seller (or upon its order).

(b) On each Settlement Date after the occurrence and during
the continuance of a Discount Event or Rating Event, each purchase of Eligible
Receivables in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in this
Agreement shall be at a discount as specified in the proviso contained in the
definition of "Purchase Price" and the portion of such Receivable's Principal
Balance equal to the sum of the reductions and discounts required pursuant to
such proviso clause shall be an interest of the Seller in such Receivable and
shall constitute the Seller's Interest. The Seller's Interest in each Purchased
Receivable created pursuant to this clause (b) shall be subordinated and junior
to the rights of the Purchasers in accordance with the terms and conditions of
subsection 2.6(c). If a Rating Event or Discount Event is no longer continuing,
the portion of any Receivable representing the Seller's Interest created therein
pursuant to this clause (b) shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, be deemed to be available as a Receivable for purchase by the
Purchasers on subsequent Settlement Dates.
(c) The Seller's Interest in and to each Purchased Receivable
a portion of which is an interest of the Seller pursuant to subsection 2.6(b)

Collections and Finance Charge Collections on the Purchased Receivables until
the Outstanding Purchase Price has been reduced to zero and all other amounts
owing to the Managing Facility Agent or any Purchaser under any Purchase
Document have been paid in full and, accordingly, the Seller shall not (except
as provided in subsection 2.16(b)) be entitled to receive any amounts on account

Purchase Price has been reduced to zero and all other amounts owing to the
Managing Facility Agent or any Purchaser under any Purchase Document have been

Servicer makes a drawing under any letter of credit related to a L/C Receivable
pursuant to subsection 3.2(a), the Servicer shall deposit the amount of such
drawing in the Collection Account on the date deposits are required to be made
hereunder pursuant to subsection 2.14(a).
(f) If a Rating Event shall occur and be continuing the Seller
will enter into interest rate hedge arrangements in accordance with subsection
6.1(k).
(g) If a Rating Event shall occur or be continuing, the other
provisions of this Agreement regarding such event including, without limitation,
those specified in clause (k) of the definition of "Eligible Applicable Lease",
clauses (c), (x), (y), (aa), (dd) and (ee) of the definition of "Eligible
Receivable", the definition of "Purchase Price", the definition of "Repurchase
Factor", the definition of "Repurchase Price" and subsections 2.4, 2.5, 2.10,
2.11, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 6.1(k), 11.1 and 11.7 hereof, shall apply.
43
2.7 Concentration Limits. (a) The Seller shall not sell or substitute Eligible
Receivables on any Settlement Date if, and to the extent that, after giving
effect to such sales and substitutions on such date (unless the Managing
Facility Agent and all of the Purchasers otherwise agree with respect to clauses
(i) and (ii) below and unless the Managing Facility Agent and the Required
Purchasers otherwise agree with respect to clauses (iii) through (xvi) below):
(i) the aggregate outstanding Principal Balances of all
Purchased Receivables in respect of a single Obligor and all of its
Affiliates or a single Unaffiliated Foreign Lessee and all of its
Affiliates would exceed an amount equal to 10% of the Outstanding
Purchase Price on such Settlement Date, provided, that (x) if no
Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Seller may
request that the 10% concentration limit with respect to any Obligor be
waived and such waiver may be granted with the unanimous written
consent of the Purchasers; and (y) the 10% concentration limit is
hereby waived with respect to Mesa and a 15% concentration limit shall
be applicable;

applicable Obligor shall be excluded from the foregoing concentration
limitations unless Raytheon's Debt Rating is below either BBB- or the
equivalent thereof during which time such Receivables shall be subject
to the foregoing limitations. For purposes of this subsection
2.7(a)(ii), the Obligor under an Affiliate Receivable shall be deemed
to be the Unaffiliated Foreign Lessee thereunder;
(iii) the aggregate outstanding Principal Balances of
Purchased Receivables created in connection with the financing or
refinancing of Refinanced Aircraft would constitute more than 50% of
the Outstanding Purchase Price paid for all Receivables (other than

Uncertified Foreign Receivables (other than L/C Receivables and Foreign
Wholesale Receivables) would exceed an amount equal to 40% of the
Outstanding Purchase Price on such Settlement Date;
(vii) the aggregate outstanding Principal Balances of all
Purchased Receivables which are not required to be paid in consecutive

Receivables and Semi-Annual Receivables but excluding those Receivables
referred to in clause (g)(ii)(B) of the definition of "Eligible
Receivables") would exceed 20% of the Outstanding Purchase Price on
such Settlement Date;
44
(viii) the aggregate outstanding Principal Balances of all
Purchased Receivables with respect to which the Financed Aircraft
related thereto are without conveyance numbers from the FAA on such
Settlement Date would exceed, during such times as Raytheon's Debt
Rating is equal to the levels set forth below, the corresponding
percentage of the Outstanding Purchase Price on such Settlement Date:
Concentration
Raytheon Debt Rating Percentage Limit
-------------------- ----------------
BBB- or the equivalent thereof or higher 20%
below BBB- or the equivalent thereof 0%; or
(ix) with respect to each foreign jurisdiction (other than
Brazil, Turkey and Venezuela) whose long-term foreign currency debt
rating is rated below BBB- or the equivalent thereof, the aggregate
outstanding Principal Balances of all Purchased Receivables which are
Foreign Receivables having a Foreign Obligor located in such
jurisdiction would exceed an amount equal to 5% or, in the case of each

on such Settlement Date. For purposes of this clause (ix), the Obligor
under an Affiliate Receivable shall be deemed to be the Unaffiliated

(x) the aggregate outstanding Principal Balances of all
Unsecured Receivables on any Settlement Date would exceed an amount

Outstanding Purchase Price on such Settlement Date;
(xv) the aggregate outstanding Principal Balances of all
Purchased Receivables which are Lease Receivables which are carried on
the books of Raytheon Credit or the Seller as operating leases
(collectively, "Operating Lease Receivables") would exceed an amount
equal to 2% of the Outstanding Purchase Price on such Settlement Date;
or
(xvi) the aggregate outstanding Principal Balances of all
Purchased Receivables with respect to which the FAA Assignment for the
Financed Aircraft related thereto (if required pursuant to subsection
5.2(e) hereof) is without a conveyance number from the FAA on the
Applicable Settlement Date would exceed an amount equal to 25% of the
Outstanding Purchase Price on such Settlement Date; provided that, if
Raytheon's Debt Rating is below BBB- or the equivalent thereof, then
such limit shall be reduced to 0%; or
45
(xvii) the aggregate outstanding Principal Balances of all
Travel Air Receivables on any Settlement Date would exceed an amount
equal to 5% of the Outstanding Purchase Price on such Settlement Date.
(b) If any such sale or substitution on any Settlement Date
shall cause a breach of any of the limitations specified in subsections
2.7(a)(i) through 2.7(a)(xvii), the Seller shall, subject to subsection 2.13,
repurchase from the Purchasers, on the Settlement Date immediately following the
date the Managing Facility Agent notifies the Seller of such breach, sufficient
Receivables such that after such repurchase such breach shall have been remedied
(each Receivable so repurchased, a "Concentration Receivable"). The Seller shall
effect such repurchase by depositing into the Concentration Account on such
Settlement Date cash in an amount equal to the aggregate Outstanding Balances of
the Concentration Receivables plus, if a Trigger Amortization Event has occurred
and is continuing, accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the rate under the
related Contract except to the extent (without duplication) of any payment made
pursuant to subsection 2.18 for the Settlement Period during which such interest
accrued and was not paid by the related Obligor. The amount of any such deposit
shall be applied and distributed in accordance with subsections 2.15 and 2.16.
2.8 Term of Revolving Period. (a) So long as no Amortization Event has occurred
and is continuing, no more than 60 and no less than 45 days prior to the
applicable Expiration Date, the Seller may request, through the Managing
Facility Agent, that each Purchaser extend the Revolving Period, which decision
will be made by each Purchaser in its sole discretion. Such request by the
Seller shall be accompanied by an amortization schedule of Purchased Receivables
in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing Facility Agent and the
Purchasers. Upon receipt of any such request, the Managing Facility Agent shall
promptly notify each Purchaser thereof. At least 30 but not more than 45 days
prior to the applicable Expiration Date, each Purchaser shall notify the
Managing Facility Agent of such Purchaser's willingness to extend the Revolving
Period, and the Managing Facility Agent shall notify the Seller of such
willingness by the Purchasers on such 30th day. The approval of the Managing
Facility Agent and at least the Majority Purchasers (calculated as to Purchasers
which are not Dissenting Purchasers prior to the applicable Expiration Date)
shall be required to extend such Expiration Date.
(b)(i) Any Purchaser not wishing to extend the Revolving
Period (a "Dissenting Purchaser") may in its sole discretion elect to terminate
its Commitment on the Expiration Date in effect prior to any such extension of
the Revolving Period. The Dissenting Purchaser shall give the Managing Facility
Agent notice of such election at least 30 days prior to the applicable
Expiration Date, provided that failure to expressly notify the Managing Facility
Agent of a willingness to extend the Expiration Date in accordance with
subsection 2.8(a) shall be deemed an election by such Purchaser to terminate its
Commitment on the Expiration Date. Upon receipt of any notice the Managing
Facility Agent shall promptly notify each other Purchaser and the Seller
thereof. The Seller, by notice to the Managing Facility Agent, may (but shall
not be required to) request one or more other Purchasers, or seek another
financial institution acceptable to the Managing Facility Agent and the Seller,
in their reasonable discretion, to acquire the Commitment of the Dissenting
Purchaser and all amounts payable to it hereunder in accordance with subsection
11.6(c). Unless otherwise specified in connection with a transfer made pursuant
to subsection 11.6(c), a Purchaser shall become a Dissenting Purchaser pursuant
to this subsection 2.8(b) on the first day following the Expiration Date on
which its Commitment is terminated.
46
(ii) If any Dissenting Purchaser's Commitment is not acquired
pursuant to subsection 11.6(c), such Dissenting Purchaser shall, on each
Settlement Date after the Expiration Date on which its Commitment terminates,
(A) be paid such Dissenting Purchaser's pro rata share of Principal Collections
received after such Expiration Date solely (except as provided in subsection
2.13(c)) on account of Eligible Receivables purchased or substituted on or
before such Expiration Date (based on such Dissenting Purchaser's Commitment
Percentage at the time its Commitment terminated) (as to such Dissenting
Purchaser, its "Frozen Pool"), (B) not purchase any additional Receivables after
such Expiration Date and (C) be paid interest in accordance with subsection 2.17
in respect of its Outstanding Purchase Price.
(iii) So long as the Revolving Period has not expired or
terminated, if on any Settlement Date after a Purchaser becomes a Dissenting
Purchaser its Outstanding Purchase Price is less than 10% (after giving effect
to the application of Collections on such Settlement Date) of such Dissenting
Purchaser's maximum Outstanding Purchase Price at any time prior to the date
such Purchaser became a Dissenting Purchaser, then the Seller may give the
Managing Facility Agent irrevocable notice, which must be received by the
Managing Facility Agent by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Reporting Date
prior to the next succeeding Settlement Date, (A) requesting that each other
Purchaser purchase a pro rata share (based on such other Purchaser's Available
Commitment Percentage as in effect on such next succeeding Settlement Date) of
such Dissenting Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase Price (the "Buyout Amount")
subject to the approval of the Managing Facility Agent and the Majority
Purchasers or (B) stating that the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller will
repurchase all the Dissenting Purchaser's interests in and to the Receivables in
the Frozen Pool by payment of the Buyout Amount on such next succeeding
Settlement Date; provided that no such purchase by the Purchasers shall be made
if the Buyout Amount to be paid by such Purchasers exceeds the aggregate
Available Commitments in effect on such next succeeding Settlement Date (after
giving effect to purchases from the Seller on such date). Any such purchase of
the Buyout Amount by the Purchasers shall be subject to, and shall be made upon
satisfaction of, the conditions set forth in subsection 5.2 and, in connection
therewith, the Seller shall be deemed to have made the representations and
warranties set forth in subsection 4.2 with respect to the Receivables
constituting the Frozen Pool as if such Receivables were being sold to the
Purchasers on such Settlement Date. Payment for the purchase by the Purchasers
or the repurchase by the Seller of the Frozen Pool, as the case may be, shall be
made to the Managing Facility Agent for the account of such Dissenting Purchaser
on such Settlement Date by deposit into the Concentration Account on the
Settlement Date required by this subsection 2.8(b)(iii).
2.9 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) On any Settlement Date, the
Seller shall have the right to terminate the Commitments or reduce the amount
thereof by notice to the Managing Facility Agent on the preceding Reporting
Date; provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if,
after giving effect thereto and to any distributions on account of the
Outstanding Purchase Price made on such Settlement Date, the then Outstanding
Purchase Price (exclusive of the interests of Dissenting Purchasers) would
exceed the Commitments then in effect. Any such reduction shall be in an amount
equal to $50,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall
permanently reduce the Commitments then in effect.
(b) On each Settlement Date the aggregate Commitment of the
Purchasers shall be reduced by an amount, if positive, equal to (i) the
aggregate amount of Bulk Sales which occurred prior to or during the related
Settlement Period less (ii) $100,000,000 less (iii) the aggregate amount of any
prior reduction of the aggregate Commitment of the Purchasers pursuant to this
subsection 2.9(b).
47
(c) On the Settlement Date for the Settlement Period in which
the six month anniversary of the initial Bulk Sale occurs, the aggregate
Commitment of the Purchasers shall be reduced by $100,000,000; provided that if
after giving effect to such reduction and any distributions on account of the
Outstanding Purchase Price made on such Settlement Date the then Outstanding
Purchase Price (exclusive of the interests of Dissenting Purchasers) would
exceed the Commitments then in effect, then RARC shall be obligated to
repurchase Receivables with an aggregate Outstanding Balance equal to the amount
of such excess. The reduction of the aggregate Commitment of the Purchasers
pursuant to this subsection 2.9(c) shall be additive to any such reduction
pursuant to subsection 2.9(b).
(d) Each Purchaser's Commitment shall terminate upon the
expiration of the Revolving Period as to such Purchaser.
2.10 Defaulted Receivables; Application of Lease Security Deposits. (a) (i) On
each Settlement Date (other than a Special Settlement Date) the Seller agrees to
repurchase from the Purchasers, up to the Repurchase Obligation, all Receivables
which became Defaulted Receivables during each preceding Settlement Period with
respect to which the Seller has not substituted an Eligible Receivable pursuant
to subsection 2.13, as indicated on the Settlement Statement delivered on the
related Reporting Date. Subject to subsections 2.10(b), 2.13, 2.15(b) and clause
sixth of subsection 2.16(b), the Seller shall repurchase such Defaulted
Receivables by depositing into the Concentration Account on such Settlement Date
cash in an amount equal to the aggregate Outstanding Balances of the Defaulted
Receivables plus, if a Trigger Amortization Event has occurred and is
continuing, accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the rate under the related
Contract except to the extent (without duplication) of any payment made pursuant
to subsection 2.18 for the Settlement Period during which such interest accrued
and was not paid by the Obligor under such Contract. The amount of any such
deposit shall be applied and distributed in accordance with subsections 2.15 and
2.16. If on any Settlement Date the Repurchase Price to be paid by the Seller
for any Defaulted Receivable would cause the Repurchase Obligation then in
effect (determined on such Settlement Date) to be exceeded, the Seller shall be
deemed to acquire only a fractional interest in each Defaulted Receivable
repurchased on such Settlement Date. The numerator of such fraction shall be the
Repurchase Obligation then in effect determined on such Settlement Date and the
denominator thereof shall be the aggregate Repurchase Price for all Defaulted
Receivables on such Settlement Date. Upon any repurchase of a Defaulted
Receivable pursuant to this subsection or the Repurchase Agreement after a
Discount Event or Rating Event, the Seller's Interest shall be reduced by an
amount equal to the Purchase Discount, if any, with respect to such Defaulted
Receivable times the Principal Balance thereof on the last day of the Settlement
Period preceding the Settlement Date on which such repurchase is made. Any
Purchased Receivable related to a Remarketed Aircraft which is repurchased or
substituted for in accordance with subsection 2.11 or 2.13, respectively, shall
not be deemed to be a Defaulted Receivable.
(ii) In the event that a Rating Event occurs and is
continuing, any Net Recoveries received by the Seller (A) on account of any
Defaulted Receivable repurchased by it, RAC or the Guarantor or (B) on account
of any Defaulted Receivable which neither the Seller, RAC nor the Guarantor has
repurchased, shall be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account. In the event
that the Amortization Period ends pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of
such term, any Net Recoveries received by the Seller after such time (A) on
account of a Defaulted Receivable repurchased by it, RAC or the Guarantor or (B)
on account of any Defaulted Receivable which none of the Seller, RAC nor the
Guarantor has repurchased shall be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account.
The Seller shall make any deposit required to be made by this subsection
2.10(a)(ii) within two Business Days after the Seller's receipt of such Net
Recoveries and such deposits shall be applied in accordance with subsections
2.15 and 2.16. The obligation of the Seller to deposit such Net Recoveries shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
48
(iii) The Seller agrees that, to the extent it has received a
security deposit in respect of any Lease Receivable, at the time the Seller
applies any or all of such security deposit or any or all of such security
deposit is applied (in each case pursuant to the related Contract or otherwise)
against the amounts owed in respect of a Receivable, on the next succeeding
Settlement Date the Seller shall be obligated to pay the Purchasers the amount
of such application. The Seller shall pay such obligation by depositing into the
Concentration Account on such Settlement Date cash in an amount equal to such
application. The amount of any such deposit shall be applied and distributed in
accordance with subsections 2.15 and 2.16.
(b) The maximum repurchase obligation of the Seller with
respect to Defaulted Receivables (the "Repurchase Obligation") shall be equal at
any time to (i) the Repurchase Factor in effect on the Settlement Date on which
such repurchase is to be made minus (ii) the aggregate Repurchase Prices of
Defaulted Receivables which were repurchased by the Seller pursuant to
subsection 2.10(a) prior to such time minus (iii) amounts deposited into the
Cash Collateral Account pursuant to subsection 2.14(c)(ii) plus (iv) all Net
Recoveries received by the Seller with respect to such Defaulted Receivables (or
portion thereof) so repurchased by the Seller prior to such time and not
required to be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to subsection
2.10(a)(ii).
2.11 Ineligible Receivables. The Seller agrees to repurchase on each Settlement
Date, and the Purchasers agree to sell to the Seller on such date and in
accordance with the terms hereof, any Purchased Receivable if such Receivable is
(i) an Ineligible Receivable, (ii) an Existing Certified Receivable in respect
of which the Old Administrative Agent shall not have received on or prior to the
Certified Opinion Delivery Date (x) an opinion of foreign counsel satisfying the
requirements of subsection 2.27(c) or (y) evidence of the filings, if any,
referred to in subsection 6.1(n)(i) or (iii) an Existing Receivable in respect
of which the Old Administrative Agent shall not have received on or prior to the
FAA Filing Date evidence of the filings, if any, referred to in subsection
6.1(n)(ii) provided that, during the Amortization Period, the Purchasers, by
unanimous consent, in their sole discretion may choose not to sell any
Receivable referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) to the Seller. The Seller
shall make such repurchase on the Settlement Date first succeeding the earlier
of (x) the date on which the Seller becomes aware of facts and circumstances
giving rise to such event of ineligibility or (y) the date on which the Managing
Facility Agent notifies the Seller that such event of ineligibility has occurred
and is continuing. Subject to subsections 2.13 and 2.15(b), the Seller shall
make such repurchase by depositing in the Concentration Account cash in an
amount equal to the Repurchase Price for such Ineligible Receivable at the date
such deposit is made, except to the extent (without duplication) of any payment
made pursuant to subsection 2.18, for the Settlement Period during which such
interest accrued and was not paid by the Obligor under such Contract. The amount
of any such deposit shall be applied and distributed in accordance with
subsections 2.15 and 2.16. Except as provided in subsection 9.1, the sole
obligation of the Seller with respect to an Ineligible Receivable of the type
described in clause (i) of this subsection 2.11 shall be the requirement to
repurchase or substitute for such Receivable pursuant to this subsection 2.11 or
subsection 2.13, respectively.
49
2.12 Rebated Receivables. If on any date the Principal Balance of any Purchased
Receivable is, or is deemed to be, reduced or adjusted or no longer payable as a
result of any rebate, discount, refund or other adjustment of such Purchased
Receivable, or any other reduction or adjustment of any payment under any
Purchased Receivable, other than any such rebate, discount refund or adjustment
permitted under subsection 7.1(b)(iv)(x), the Seller shall be deemed to have
received on such day a Collection in respect of such Purchased Receivable in the
amount of such reduction or adjustment or in the amount no longer payable (as
applicable) and shall, subject to subsection 2.15(b), deposit cash into the
Concentration Account on the next succeeding Settlement Date in an amount equal
to such reduction or adjustment or such amount no longer payable (as applicable)
plus if a Trigger Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the rate under the related Contract except to the
extent (without duplication) of any payment made pursuant to subsection 2.18 for
the Settlement Period during which such interest accrued and was not paid by the
Obligor under such Contract. The amount of any such deposit shall be applied and
distributed in accordance with subsections 2.15 and 2.16.
2.13 Substitution of Receivables. (a) Whenever the Seller is required to
repurchase Concentration Receivables, Defaulted Receivables, or Ineligible
Receivables pursuant to subsection 2.7(b), 2.10 or 2.11, respectively, the
Seller may, subject to the terms hereof, in lieu of making such repurchase,
substitute one or more Eligible Receivables (each, a "Substituted Receivable")
therefor on the Settlement Date on which the repurchase is required to be made;
provided that the Settlement Statement delivered on the Reporting Date prior to
such Settlement Date shall contain the information required thereby with respect
to such proposed substitution. The option of the Seller to substitute one or
more Substituted Receivables for any Receivables as aforesaid is subject to the
following conditions precedent: (i) no Trigger Amortization Event has occurred
and is then continuing, (ii) if such substitution occurs during the Amortization
Period, and provided that no Trigger Amortization Event has occurred and is then
continuing, the Majority Purchasers have approved such substitution and (iii)
either the Substituted Receivable has a Final Payment Date which is not after
the Final Payment Date of the replaced Receivable (each, replaced Receivable, a
"Removed Receivable"), or if the Final Payment Date of the Substituted
Receivable is after that of the Removed Receivable, then only that portion of
the Principal Balance of such proposed Substituted Receivable which is scheduled
to be paid on or prior to the Final Payment Date of the Removed Receivable shall
be included as a Substituted Receivable. Defaulted Receivables shall be replaced
with Substituted Receivables prior to replacement of Ineligible Receivables or
Concentration Receivables with Substituted Receivables and, in each case, shall
be replaced with Substituted Receivables in the following order of priority: (i)
first, with Substituted Receivables which are 25% Repurchase Receivables, (ii)
second, with Substituted Receivables which are 75% Repurchase Receivables, and
(iii) third, with Substituted Receivables which are 90% Repurchase Receivables.
The making of such substitution shall be subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in paragraphs subsection 5.2, including, without
limitation, the delivery of an Assignment and, if applicable, an FAA Assignment
or Foreign Assignment.
(b) If the Repurchase Price of the Removed Receivable proposed
to be replaced by one or more Substituted Receivables is greater than the
aggregate Principal Balances of such Substituted Receivables, the Seller shall
deposit cash into the Concentration Account in an amount equal to such excess.
Alternatively, if the Repurchase Price of such Removed Receivable is less than
the aggregate Principal Balances of the corresponding Substituted Receivable or
Receivables, during the Revolving Period the Seller may, so long as no
Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, request the Purchasers to
purchase such excess, to the extent of the Available Commitments, pursuant to
subsection 2.2. If such excess is not purchased for any reason set forth in this
Agreement, then each Substituted Receivable able to be substituted to the
fullest extent shall first be substituted and any remaining Substituted
Receivable shall be a Participated Receivable subject to the provisions of
subsection 2.4. During the Revolving Period, if any Substituted Receivable is an
Extended Term Receivable, then such Substituted Receivable shall be subject to
subsection 2.5 and the Cash Flow Cutoff Date for such Substituted Receivable
shall be deemed to be, initially, (i) so long as no Rating Event has occurred
and is continuing, thirteen years after the date of substitution of such
Substituted Receivable and (ii) during the continuance of a Rating Event, ten
years after the date of substitution of such Substituted Receivable.
Substitution for a Defaulted Receivable shall not reduce the Repurchase
Obligation.
50
(c) If a Dissenting Purchaser holds an undivided interest in
any Removed Receivable then:
(i) if such Removed Receivable is an Ineligible Receivable or
a Concentration Receivable, the Seller shall pay to the Managing
Facility Agent for the account of such Dissenting Purchaser an amount
equal to the sum of (A) the product of such Dissenting Purchaser's
Commitment Percentage (determined at the time such Dissenting
Purchaser's Commitment terminated) times the Outstanding Balance for
such Removed Receivable and (B) if a Trigger Amortization Event has
occurred and is continuing, the Dissenting Purchaser's pro rata share
(determined at the time such Dissenting Purchaser's commitment
terminated) of accrued and unpaid interest on such Removed Receivable
at the rate under the related Contract except to the extent (without
duplication) of any payment made pursuant to subsection 2.18 for the
Settlement Period during which such interest accrued and was not paid
by the Obligor under such Contract; and
(ii) if such Removed Receivable is a Defaulted Receivable, (A)
and if the aggregate Available Commitments in effect on the Settlement
Date on which such substitution is to be made exceed an amount equal to
(x) the Dissenting Purchaser's Commitment Percentage (determined at the
time such Dissenting Purchaser's Commitment terminated) times (y) the
Outstanding Balance for such Removed Receivable (the "Dissenting
Purchaser's Share"), each Purchaser other than a Dissenting Purchaser
shall be deemed to purchase its Commitment Percentage of the Dissenting
Purchaser's Share by making funds therefor available to the Managing
Facility Agent for the account of such Dissenting Purchaser on the
Settlement Date on which such substitution is proposed to be made;
provided that such purchases shall be subject to the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in subsection 5.2 and, in connection
therewith, the Seller shall be deemed to have made the representations
and warranties set forth in subsection 4.2 with respect to the
Purchased Receivables constituting the Dissenting Purchaser's Share as
if the Seller were selling such Receivables to the Purchasers on such
Settlement Date; or (B) if for any reason a purchase cannot be made
pursuant to the foregoing clause (A), the Seller shall repurchase, up
to the amount of the Repurchase Obligation on the date of such
purchase, such Dissenting Purchaser's Share on such Settlement Date up
to such Dissenting Purchaser's Commitment Percentage (determined at the
time such Dissenting Purchaser's Commitment terminated) of the
Aggregate Repurchase Obligation in effect on such Settlement Date (in
each case after giving effect to purchases, substitutions and
repurchases on such Settlement Date) plus, if a Trigger Amortization
Event has occurred and is continuing, the Dissenting Purchaser's pro
rata share (determined at the time such Dissenting Purchaser's
Commitment terminated) of accrued and unpaid interest on such Removed
Receivable at the rate under the related Contract except to the extent
(without duplication) of any payment made pursuant to subsection 2.18
for the Settlement Period during which such interest accrued and was
not paid by the Obligor under such Contract. It is understood that
determinations of the Repurchase Obligation with respect to a
Dissenting Purchaser pursuant to this subsection 2.13(c)(ii) shall be,
with respect to a L/C Receivable, made on the Settlement Date on which
such determination is made in accordance with the definitions of the
terms "90% Repurchase Receivable" and "25% Repurchase Receivable" and
the status of such L/C Receivable at such Settlement Date.
(d) Any repurchases of Receivables made pursuant to subsection
2.13(c) shall be made on the Settlement Date on which the related substitution
of Receivables is to be made.
51
(e) On any Settlement Date (other than a Special Settlement
Date) the Seller may, with the consent of the Managing Facility Agent,
substitute a Lease Receivable which is an Eligible Receivable (a "Substituted
Lease Receivable") for a Lease Receivable (other than a Lease Receivable which
is a Defaulted Receivable, a Concentration Receivable or an Ineligible
Receivable) which was previously sold or substituted hereunder (a "Replaced
Lease Receivable") if the Seller, in the ordinary course of business and in
accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, is entering into a new
Contract with the same Person which is the Obligor under the Contract related to
such Replaced Lease Receivable (or an Affiliate of such Person); provided that
during the Amortization Period the prior consent of the Majority Purchasers
shall be required to effect any such substitution; provided, further, that if a
Remittance Event has occurred and is continuing and if the Principal Balance of
a Substituted Lease Receivable is less than the Principal Balance of the
Replaced Lease Receivable such substitution shall occur only on a Settlement
Date and within two Business Days after such substitution is made, the Seller
shall deposit into the Concentration Account an amount equal to the difference
between the Outstanding Balance of the Replaced Lease Receivable and the
Purchase Price of the Substituted Lease Receivable. The Settlement Statement
with respect to the Settlement Period in which such substitution occurs (or the
Settlement Statement delivered with respect to the Settlement Date on which such
substitution occurs, in the case of substitutions made on a Settlement Date in
accordance with the final proviso of the preceding sentence) shall contain the
information required thereby with respect to such substitution. Upon such
substitution, the Principal Balance of the Replaced Lease Receivable shall be
deemed to be reduced to zero. The provisions of subsection 2.13(b) (except for
the first sentence thereof) shall apply as if a Replaced Lease Receivable and a
Substituted Lease Receivable are, respectively, a Removed Receivable and a
Substituted Receivable and the provisions of subsection 2.13(c)(i) (A) (without
regard to clause (B) of subsection 2.13(c)(i)) shall apply as if a Replaced
Lease Receivable is a Removed Receivable; provided that, in accordance with
subsection 2.13(d) and notwithstanding the date of substitution of a Substituted
Lease Receivable in accordance with this subsection 2.13(e), payments shall be
made to the Dissenting Purchaser with respect to a Substituted Lease Receivable
on the Settlement Date related to the Settlement Statement which contains
information with respect to such substitution. The making of such substitution
shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in subsection
5.2, including in each case, without limitation, the delivery of an Assignment
and FAA Assignment or a Foreign Assignment, as applicable, with respect to each
such Substituted Lease Receivable on or before the Business Day such Substituted
Lease Receivable is substituted.
(f) On any Settlement Date (other than a Special Settlement
Date) the Managing Facility Agent may, notwithstanding the provisions of
subsection 11.1 or any other provision regarding the Purchasers' rights to
consent to substitutions, without the consent of any of the Purchasers, allow
the Seller to substitute an Eligible Receivable (a "Current Receivable") for an
Eligible Receivable a payment under which is more than 30 days past due from the
original due date therefor, but which is not otherwise a Defaulted Receivable;
provided that the Settlement Statement delivered on the Reporting Date prior to
such Settlement Date shall contain the information required thereby with respect
to such proposed substitution. In addition to the consent of the Managing
Facility Agent required by the immediately preceding sentence, the Seller's
permission to substitute one or more Current Receivables for any Delinquent
Receivables is subject to the following conditions precedent: (i) no Trigger
52
Amortization Event has occurred and is then continuing, (ii) if such
substitution occurs during the Amortization Period, and provided that no Trigger
Amortization Event has occurred and is then continuing, the Majority Purchasers
have approved such substitution and (iii) either the Current Receivable has a
Final Payment Date which is not after the Final Payment Date of the replaced
Delinquent Receivable or if the Final Payment Date of the Current Receivable is
after that of the replaced Delinquent Receivable, then only that portion of the
Principal Balance of such proposed Current Receivable which is scheduled to be
paid on or prior to the Final Payment Date of the replaced Delinquent Receivable
shall be included as a Purchased Receivable. If the Principal Balance of the
Delinquent Receivable proposed to be replaced by one or more Current Receivables
is greater than the aggregate Principal Balances of such Current Receivables,
the Seller shall deposit cash into the Concentration Account in an amount equal
to such excess. Alternatively, if the Principal Balance of such Delinquent
Receivable is less than the aggregate Principal Balances of the corresponding
Current Receivable or Receivables, during the Revolving Period the Seller may,
so long as no Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, request the
Purchasers to purchase such excess, to the extent of the Available Commitments,
pursuant to subsection 2.2. If such excess is not purchased for any reason set
forth in this Agreement, then each Current Receivable able to be substituted to
the fullest extent shall first be substituted and any remaining Current
Receivable shall be a Participated Receivable subject to the provisions of
subsection 2.4. During the Revolving Period, if any Current Receivable is an
Extended Term Receivable, then such Current Receivable shall be subject to
subsection 2.5 and the Cash Flow Cutoff Date for such Current Receivable shall
be deemed to be, initially, (i) so long as no Rating Event has occurred and is
continuing, thirteen years after the date of substitution of such Current
Receivable and (ii) during the continuance of a Rating Event, ten years after
the date of substitution of such Current Receivable. Substitution for a
Delinquent Receivable shall not reduce the Repurchase Obligation.
2.14 Accounts. (a) On or before the Closing Date the Seller shall establish in
its name a segregated account with a commercial bank satisfactory to the
Managing Facility Agent (the "Collection Account"). Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Remittance Event, and unless the Servicer has
provided a Servicer Letter of Credit in accordance with subsection 2.15(a), the
Seller or the Servicer shall within two Business Days after its receipt, (i)
deposit all Collections received by it directly into the Collection Account and
(ii) transfer or cause to be transferred to the Concentration Account any
Collections so deposited. Any amounts received by the Seller and not related to
the Purchased Receivables or the related Contracts or Financed Aircraft shall
not be deposited into the Collection Account. Any amounts at any time on deposit
in the Collection Account shall be transferred only to the Concentration Account
and to no other deposit or other account (including, but not limited to, any
account or sub-account maintained pursuant to Raytheon's cash management
system). The Seller hereby grants to the Managing Facility Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Purchasers a security interest in the Collection Account and all
amounts from time to time on deposit therein to secure the Obligations. The
Seller shall have no right to withdraw any amounts on deposit in the Collection
Account.
53
(b) On or before the Closing Date there shall be established
with and in the name of the Managing Facility Agent a segregated account (the
"Concentration Account") which shall be maintained as a cash collateral account
subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Managing Facility Agent for
the ratable benefit of the Purchasers. The Seller hereby grants to the Managing
Facility Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers a security interest in
any of its right, title and interest in the Concentration Account and all
amounts from time to time on deposit therein and all income from the investment
of such amounts to secure, in each case, the Obligations. Funds on deposit from
time to time in the Concentration Account shall bear interest at the then
prevailing rate paid by the Managing Facility Agent for deposit accounts with
similar amounts on deposit from time to time. If at any time funds on deposit in
the Concentration Account are greater than $100,000, the Managing Facility Agent
may, but shall not be required to, unless it receives a request from the Seller
or Raytheon, invest such funds in Cash Equivalents with maturities not later
than the next succeeding Settlement Date, to the extent such requested Cash
Equivalents are available for investment. Any investment request by the Seller
or Raytheon shall be given to the Managing Facility Agent one Business Day prior
to the day the investment is to be made (which shall be a Business Day in New
York, New York and San Francisco, California) and shall specify the particular
Cash Equivalents and maturities thereof. Any interest or investment earnings on
amounts in the Concentration Account on related investments shall be retained in
the Concentration Account to be withdrawn in accordance with this subsection
2.14(b). The Managing Facility Agent shall have the right to withdraw amounts
from the Concentration Account to make the payments required to be made
hereunder from Collections. Neither the Managing Facility Agent nor any
Purchaser shall have any responsibility for any such investment and the Managing
Facility Agent shall be permitted to liquidate any such investment, without
liability for any loss occurring by reason of such liquidation, to the extent
necessary to make payments and distributions under this Agreement. The Seller
shall have no right to withdraw amounts on deposit from time to time in the
Concentration Account.
(c) (i) On or before the Closing Date there shall be
established with and in the name of the Managing Facility Agent a segregated
trust account comprised of two segregated sub-accounts, the Seller cash
collateral sub-account (the "Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account") and the RAC
cash collateral sub-account (the "RAC Cash Collateral Sub-Account", the Seller
Cash Collateral Sub-Account and the RAC Cash Collateral Sub-Account being
referred to collectively as the "Cash Collateral Account") which shall be
maintained as a cash collateral account subject to the exclusive dominion and
control of the Managing Facility Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Purchasers. The Seller hereby grants to the Managing Facility Agent for the
ratable benefit of the Purchasers a first priority security interest in the Cash
Collateral Account and all amounts on deposit from time to time therein and all
income from the investment of such amounts to secure, in each case, the
Obligations. Funds on deposit from time to time in the Seller Cash Collateral
Sub-Account shall bear interest at the then prevailing rate paid by the Managing
54
Facility Agent for deposit accounts with similar amounts on deposit from time to
time. If at any time funds on deposit in the Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account
are greater than $100,000, the Managing Facility Agent may, but shall not be
required to, unless it receives a request from the Seller, invest funds on
deposit in the Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account in Cash Equivalents with
maturities not later than the next succeeding Settlement Date (or such other
maturities as the Seller shall request and the Managing Facility Agent shall
approve), to the extent such requested Cash Equivalents are available for
investment. Any investment request by the Seller shall be given to the Managing
Facility Agent one Business Day prior to the day the investment is to be made
(which shall be a Business Day in New York, New York and San Francisco,
California) and shall specify the particular Cash Equivalents and maturities
thereof. Any interest or investment earnings on amounts in the Seller Cash
Collateral Sub-Account or related investments shall be retained in the Seller
Cash Collateral Sub-Account to be withdrawn in accordance with paragraphs (ii),
(iii) and (iv) of this subsection 2.14(c). Neither the Managing Facility Agent
nor any Purchaser shall have any responsibility for any such investment and the
Managing Facility Agent shall be permitted to liquidate any such investment,
without liability for any loss occurring by reason of such liquidation, to the
extent necessary to make payments and distributions under this Agreement. The
Seller shall have no right to withdraw amounts on deposit from time to time in
the Cash Collateral Account.
(ii) If on any Settlement Date on which the Seller is required
to repurchase Defaulted Receivables pursuant to subsection 2.10 and fails for
any reason to repurchase such Defaulted Receivables or substitute for such
Defaulted Receivables pursuant to subsection 2.13, whether or not RAC fails to
repurchase such Defaulted Receivables under the Repurchase Agreement, the
Managing Facility Agent may withdraw from amounts on deposit in the Seller Cash
Collateral Sub-Account on account of such Defaulted Receivable an amount equal
to the lesser of (A) the Repurchase Price for such Defaulted Receivable plus any
accrued and unpaid interest thereon required to be paid by subsection 2.10 and
(B) the amount then on deposit in the Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account. It is
specifically understood and agreed that amounts on deposit in the Seller Cash
Collateral Sub-Account, whether on account of 25% Repurchase Receivables, 75%
Repurchase Receivables or 90% Repurchase Receivables, may be withdrawn as
aforesaid on account of any Defaulted Receivable, regardless of the Repurchase
Percentage associated therewith or whether the RAC Repurchase Obligation shall
be outstanding. Any amounts so withdrawn shall be deposited into the
Concentration Account and allocated and distributed pursuant to subsections 2.15
and 2.16, respectively. The Seller agrees with the Managing Facility Agent and
the Purchasers to deposit into the Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account, without
any requirement for notice or demand therefor, the lesser of the amount
withdrawn therefrom or the sum of the Repurchase Obligation then in effect on
the date such withdrawal is made, plus interest thereon at a rate per annum
equal to the Default Rate for the period from such date of withdrawal to such
date of deposit. Deposit of amounts into the Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account
pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, to the extent of such deposit, satisfy
the Seller's obligation to repurchase such Defaulted Receivable pursuant to
subsection 2.10.
(iii) If the Seller or the Servicer (if then Raytheon Credit
or any Affiliate thereof) shall fail to make any deposit, payment or transfer of
funds required to be made by the Seller or the Servicer under this Agreement or
any other document executed and delivered in connection herewith, including,
without limitation, any payment, deposit or transfer of funds or payment of any
indemnity required to be made pursuant to subsection 2.7(b), 2.10, 2.11, 2.12,
2.18 or 9.1 (each such payment, deposit or transfer, a "Reimbursable
Obligation"), then the Managing Facility Agent with the consent of the Majority
Purchasers may, in addition to any similar rights in favor of the Managing
Facility Agent under the Repurchase Agreement, withdraw from the Seller Cash
Collateral Sub-Account on the date such Reimbursable Obligation is due hereunder
an amount equal to the lesser of (A) such Reimbursable Obligation and (B) the
amount then on deposit in the Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account. The Seller
agrees with the Managing Facility Agent and the Purchasers to deposit in the
Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account, without any requirement for notice or demand
therefor, the amount withdrawn on the date such withdrawal is made, plus
interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate for the period
from such date of withdrawal to such date of deposit.
55
(iv) No amounts on deposit in the Seller Cash Collateral
Sub-Account (including interest or investment earnings) shall be released to the
Seller until the Outstanding Purchase Price is reduced to zero and all other
amounts owing to the Managing Facility Agent or any Purchaser hereunder are paid
in full, provided, that,
(x) on each Settlement Date (other than a Special Settlement
Date) occurring during the continuance of a Rating Event, after giving
effect to all collections and distributions on such date, the amounts
on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account in excess of the Aggregate
Repurchase Obligation on such Settlement Date shall be released pro
rata based upon their respective repurchase obligations, to the Seller
and to RAC;
(y) on each Settlement Date occurring during the continuance
of a Rating Event following a Settlement Period during which Finance
Charges on Wholesale Receivables which are Quarterly Receivables have
been paid, the excess of (A) amounts which were on previous Settlement
Dates, pursuant to subsection 2.16(b)(vi), deposited into the Cash
Collateral Account as accrued Finance Charge Collections on such
Quarterly Receivables, over (B) any portion of such amounts so
previously deposited which are on such Settlement Date withdrawn from
the Cash Collateral Account by the Managing Facility Agent and applied
pursuant to subsection 2.14(c) shall be released to the Seller; and
(z) on the Business Day after the date on which the
Outstanding Purchase Price is reduced to zero and all other amounts
owing to the Managing Facility Agent and the Purchasers hereunder have
been paid in full, all amounts on deposit in the Seller Cash Collateral
Sub-Account shall be released to the Seller.
(d) On or before the Amendment Effective Date there shall be
established with and in the name of the Managing Facility Agent a segregated
account (the "Bulk Sale Account") which shall be maintained as a cash collateral
account subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Managing Facility
Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers. The Seller hereby grants to the
Managing Facility Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers a security
interest in any of its right, title and interest in the Bulk Sale Account and
all amounts, including investments, from time to time on deposit therein and all
income from the investment of such amounts to secure, in each case, the
Obligations. Funds on deposit from time to time in the Bulk Sale Account shall
bear interest at the then prevailing rate paid by the Managing Facility Agent
for deposit accounts with similar amounts on deposit from time to time. If at
any time funds on deposit in the Bulk Sale Account are greater than $100,000,
the Managing Facility Agent may, but shall not be required to, unless it
receives a request from the Seller or Raytheon, invest such funds in Cash
Equivalents with maturities not later than the next succeeding Settlement Date,
to the extent such requested Cash Equivalents are available for investment. Any
such investment shall be made in the name of the Managing Facility Agent. Any
investment request by the Seller or Raytheon shall be given to the Managing
Facility Agent one Business Day prior to the day the investment is to be made
(which shall be a Business Day in New York, New York and San Francisco,
California) and shall specify the particular Cash Equivalents and maturities
thereof. Any interest or investment earnings on amounts in the Bulk Sale Account
on related investments shall be retained in the Bulk Sale Account to be
withdrawn in accordance with subsection 11.24(b). The Managing Facility Agent
shall have the right to withdraw amounts from the Bulk Sale Account to make the
payments required to be made hereunder in accordance with subsection 11.24(b).
Neither the Managing Facility Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any
responsibility for any such investment and the Managing Facility Agent shall be
permitted to liquidate any such investment, without liability for any loss
occurring by reason of such liquidation, to the extent necessary to make
payments and distributions under this Agreement. None of the Seller, the
Servicer, RAC and Raytheon shall have the right to withdraw amounts on deposit
from time to time in the Bulk Sale Account.
56
2.15 Remittance and Allocation of Collections. (a) The Seller or the Servicer
shall, subject to subsection 2.14(a), deposit into or transfer to the
Concentration Account all Collections within two Business Days following receipt
thereof; provided that so long as (i) a Remittance Event has not occurred and is
continuing or (ii) following the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Remittance Event, the Servicer has provided a Servicer Letter of Credit, the
Seller or the Servicer shall make such deposit in or transfer to the
Concentration Account not later than the Settlement Date following the
Settlement Period during which such Collections were received; provided,
further, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Rating Event,
the Seller or the Servicer shall, at the times required by and otherwise in
accordance with this subsection 2.15(a), also deposit into or transfer to the
Concentration Account interest payments made by RAC on behalf of an Obligor
under a Wholesale Receivable.
(b) On each Reporting Date the Servicer shall allocate all
Collections received on account of the Purchased Receivables during the
preceding Settlement Period between Principal Collections and Finance Charge
Collections. All Finance Charge Collections shall be deposited in the
Concentration Account in accordance with subsection 2.15(a) and distributed
pursuant to subsection 2.16(b). All Principal Collections shall be deposited in
the Concentration Account in accordance with subsection 2.15(a) and applied in
accordance with subsection 2.16(a); provided that (i) if on any Settlement Date
during the Revolving Period the aggregate Purchase Price to be paid for
purchases to be made on such Settlement Date exceeds amounts deposited or to be
deposited into the Concentration Account by the Seller or the Servicer, as the
case may be, on or during the Settlement Period prior to such Settlement Date on
account of Principal Collections, the Seller may retain such Principal
Collections, or to the extent previously deposited into the Concentration
Account shall make payments therefrom, as application for such aggregate
Purchase Price to be paid to the Seller on such Settlement Date and amounts so
retained by or paid to the Seller shall be treated as a payment (in whole or in
part, as applicable) for such Purchase Price and (ii) to the extent the amount
of such Principal Collections exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price of Eligible
Receivables available to be purchased on such Settlement Date, the Seller or the
Servicer, as the case may be, shall deposit, to the extent not previously
deposited, such excess in the Concentration Account on or prior to such
Settlement Date for distribution in accordance with subsection 2.16. Any
purchases made pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) shall be subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (h) of
subsection 5.2. During the Amortization Period, all Principal Collections shall
be deposited into the Concentration Account in accordance with subsection
2.15(a) and, on the Settlement Date on or following such date of deposit, shall
be distributed in accordance with subsection 2.16. The portion of any deposit to
be made into the Concentration Account required to be made pursuant to
subsections 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12 or the first sentence of 2.13(b) (including,
without limitation, on account of a Substituted Lease Receivable) representing
the Repurchase Price for any Receivable shall be subject to the provisions of
this subsection 2.15(b).
(c) Any Principal Collections received on account of an
Extended Term Receivable during the Revolving Period shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (h) of
subsection 5.2, be applied to purchase the next succeeding monthly payments of
such Receivable which have not been purchased and which are payable prior to the
Cash Flow Cutoff Date then applicable to such Receivable.
57
(d) All Net Recoveries required to be deposited in accordance
with subsection 2.10(a)(ii) shall be deposited into the Concentration Account as
Collections. On the Reporting Date following the Settlement Period in which such
deposit is made, such Net Recoveries shall be allocated by the Managing Facility
Agent as Principal Collections and Finance Charge Collections and the Managing
Facility Agent shall notify the Servicer of such allocation the Business Day
following such Reporting Date. Such allocation shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error or unless the Managing Facility Agent receives notice
from the Servicer of any error made in such allocation on or before the third
Business Day after such notice is given to the Servicer and, in the event of any
dispute between the Managing Facility Agent and the Servicer with respect to
such allocation, the allocation of such Net Recoveries shall be conclusively
made by the Managing Facility Agent's independent certified public accountants
prior to the next succeeding Reporting Date. Such Net Recoveries shall be
distributed pursuant to subsection 2.16.
2.16 Distribution and Application of Collections. (a) Principal Collections. All
Principal Collections on Purchased Receivables shall be payable to the
Purchasers up to the amount of the Outstanding Purchase Price from time to time.
On each Settlement Date during the Revolving Period, Principal Collections
received during the prior Settlement Period shall be first, applied to the
aggregate Purchase Price of Eligible Receivables purchased on such Settlement
Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and second,
paid to the Purchasers on such Settlement Date and applied in respect of the
Outstanding Purchase Price. On each Settlement Date during the Amortization
Period, Principal Collections received during the prior Settlement Period shall
be paid to the Purchasers on such Settlement Date and applied in respect of the
Outstanding Purchase Price. Following an Amortization Event, Principal
Collections on account of the Purchase Discount applied to the Purchase Price of
Receivables purchased during a Rating Event or a Discount Event may, at the
discretion of the Managing Facility Agent, be deemed Finance Charge Collections
available to be distributed pursuant to subsections 2.16(b)(ii) and (b)(iii).
(b) Finance Charge Collections. On each Settlement Date (other
than a Special Settlement Date) funds on deposit in the Concentration Account
representing Finance Charge Collections in respect of the preceding Settlement
Period shall be distributed by the Managing Facility Agent as follows, to the
extent of funds available therefor:
(i) first, to the Servicer as payment of the Servicing Fee
for the preceding Settlement Period;
(ii) second, to the Purchasers pro rata as payment of all
interest due pursuant to subsection 2.17(a) and (c) for the preceding
Accrual Period;
(iii) third, to the Managing Facility Agent and each
Purchaser which has made a demand prior to the Reporting Date preceding
such Settlement Date, to costs payable pursuant to subsections 2.22,
2.23, 2.24 and 11.5;
(iv) fourth, to the Purchasers pro rata as payment of the
Commitment Fees for the preceding Accrual Period pursuant to subsection
2.17(d) and second, to the Managing Facility Agent as payment of the
fees referred to in subsection 2.17(e) to the extent such fees have not
been paid directly by the Seller;
58
(v) fifth, if a Rating Event has occurred and is
continuing, to the extent of funds available therefor, to the Managing
Facility Agent for deposit into the Cash Collateral Account an amount
equal to Finance Charges on those Wholesale Receivables which are
Quarterly Receivables which Finance Charges have accrued during the
preceding Settlement Period and are payable under the related Contract
on a subsequent Settlement Date; and
(vi) sixth, any remaining Finance Charge Collections (such
remainder, "Excess Spread") shall be distributed as follows: (1) so
long as no Trigger Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing,
to the Seller or its designees and (2) in all other cases, 100% thereof
shall be paid to the Purchasers pro rata as payment in respect of the
Outstanding Purchase Price.
(c) All Collections received from an Obligor of any Purchased
Receivable shall be applied to Purchased Receivables of such Obligor in the
order of the age of such Purchased Receivables, starting with the oldest
outstanding amount of such Purchased Receivable (i.e., the most delinquent of
such Purchased Receivables), except if the payment is designated by such Obligor
for application to specific Receivables. All Principal Collections received on
account of any Extended Term Receivable and not used to purchase monthly
payments of such Receivable payable after its most recent Cash Flow Cutoff Date
shall be applied in the direct order of maturity thereof. Payments made by an
Obligor on account of a Receivable shall, except as otherwise specified by such
Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed
by the Managing Facility Agent and the Required Purchasers, be applied as a
Collection of any Purchased Receivable of such Obligor to the extent of any
amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other
indebtedness of such Obligor to the Seller or Raytheon Credit.
2.17 Interest and Fees. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) below, each
Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase Price shall bear interest for each day during
an Accrual Period at a rate per annum equal to the Note Rate for such Purchaser
and shall be payable on each Settlement Date (other than a Special Settlement
Date) for the immediately preceding Accrual Period. To the extent that the
Outstanding Purchase Price has not been reduced to zero on the date the
Amortization Period ends pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of such term,
interest shall accrue pursuant to this subsection 2.17(a) regardless of whether
the Seller shall be obligated to pay Expense Amounts under subsection 2.18.
(b) The Outstanding Purchase Price for Receivables purchased
on a Special Settlement Date shall bear interest (i) at a rate per annum equal
to the Base Rate for the first three Working Days following such Special
Settlement Date and (ii) thereafter at a rate per annum equal to the Interbank
Rate for each day of the Special Settlement Date Accrual Period; provided that,
if the Seller provides the Managing Facility Agent with the notice provided for
in Section 2.3 at least three Working Days prior to the applicable Special
Settlement Date, then interest shall be calculated in accordance with clause
(ii) from such Special Settlement Date until the end of the related Special
Settlement Date Accrual Period. Interest payable under this Section 2.17(b)
shall be payable on the next Settlement Date. Beginning with the first
Settlement Date after any Special Settlement Date, interest with respect to the
Receivables purchased on such Special Settlement Date shall be calculated in
accordance with paragraph (a) above.
59
(c) If all or any portion of any amount (including interest)
payable by the Seller hereunder shall not be paid when due, such overdue amount
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Note Rate plus 1% (the
"Default Rate") from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in
full (after as well as before judgment). The Outstanding Purchase Price shall
bear interest pursuant to, and at the times specified in, subsection 8.2(a) for
each day during an Accrual Period at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate
until the Outstanding Purchase Price is reduced to zero (after as well as before
judgment). Any amount payable pursuant to this subsection 2.17(c) shall be
payable on each Settlement Date (other than a Special Settlement Date), or on
demand after any judgment. To the extent that the Outstanding Purchase Price has
not been reduced to zero on the date the Amortization Period ends pursuant to
clause (ii) of the definition of such term, interest shall accrue pursuant to
this subsection 2.17(c) regardless of whether the Seller shall be obligated to
pay Expense Amounts under subsection 2.18. Interest accruing pursuant to this
subsection 2.17(c) shall be payable from time to time on demand.
(d) During the period from and including the Closing Date to
the date on which the Revolving Period ends, a commitment fee (a "Commitment
Fee") shall be payable to the Managing Facility Agent for the account of each
Purchaser, payable monthly in arrears on each Settlement Date (other than a
Special Settlement Date) and computed at the rate of 0.10% per annum from and
after March 18, 1998 (0.13% per annum prior to such date) on the actual daily
amount of the Available Commitment of such Purchaser during each Accrual Period
ending prior to the Settlement Date on which the Commitment Fee is paid,
commencing on the first such Settlement Date to occur after the Closing Date.
(e) The Seller agrees to pay (i) to the Managing Facility
Agent for its account the fees set forth in the Fee Letter, dated March __,
2000, among the Managing Facility Agent, the Seller and the Guarantor in the
amounts and on the dates set forth therein and (ii) to the Syndication Agent for
its account the fees set forth in the Fee Letter, dated February __, 2000, among
the Syndication Agent, the Seller and the Guarantor in the amounts and on the
dates set forth therein.
(f) Interest and fees required to be paid under this
subsection 2.17 shall be payable regardless of whether sufficient Finance Charge
Collections therefore are on deposit in the Concentration Account on the date or
dates such interest or fees are required to be paid.
2.18 Yield Adjustment. If on any Settlement Date (other than a Special
Settlement Date) any Expense Amount is not paid in full on such Settlement Date,
then on such Settlement Date the Seller will pay to the Managing Facility Agent
for the account of each Purchaser the amounts required to pay all such Expense
Amounts in full provided, that the Seller's obligation under this subsection
2.18 in favor of any Purchaser in any calendar year shall not exceed an amount
equal to the product of the applicable Note Rate as of such date times such
Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase Price as of such date. The Seller shall not be
obligated to pay pursuant to this subsection 2.18 any Expense Amounts which
accrue after the date the Amortization Period ends; provided that the Seller
shall remain obligated to pay any Expense Amount which accrued prior to such
date (whether or not claimed prior to such date) so long as a claim for such
Expense Amount is made prior to the times set forth in the subsection hereof
governing such Expense Amount.
2.19 Computations and Payments. (a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by or on
behalf of the Seller hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the
terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day when due
in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available
funds. All computations of Commitment Fees, interest and other fees and amounts
payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the
actual number of days elapsed (including the first but excluding the last day).
The Managing Facility Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Seller and
the Purchasers of each determination of a LIBO Rate or an Interbank Rate.
60
(b) Each determination of the Note Rate, the Interbank Rate or
the Default Rate by the Managing Facility Agent pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Seller and the Purchasers
in the absence of manifest error. The Managing Facility Agent shall, at the
request of the Seller, deliver to the Seller a statement showing the quotations
used by the Managing Facility Agent in determining the Note Rate for any Accrual
Period.
(c) If any Reference Bank's Commitment shall terminate for any
reason whatsoever, such Reference Bank shall thereupon cease to be a Reference
Bank, and if, as a result of the foregoing, there shall only be one Reference
Bank remaining, the Managing Facility Agent (after consultation with the Seller
and the Purchasers) shall, by notice to the Seller and the Purchasers, designate
another Purchaser as a Reference Bank so that there shall at all times be at
least two Reference Banks.
(d) Each Reference Bank shall use its best efforts to furnish
quotations of rates to the Managing Facility Agent to the extent contemplated by
the definition of "LIBO Rate". If any Reference Bank shall be unable or shall
otherwise fail to supply such rates to the Managing Facility Agent upon its
request, the LIBO Rate shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the
remaining Reference Banks or Reference Bank.
2.20 Pro Rata Treatment. (a) Except with respect to payments to a Dissenting
Purchaser pursuant to subsection 2.8(b)(ii) or 2.13(c), (i) each purchase by the
Purchasers hereunder, each payment by the Seller in respect of the Commitment
Fees and any reduction of the Commitments shall be made pro rata according to
the respective Available Commitment Percentages of the Purchasers and (ii) each
payment by the Seller in respect of the Outstanding Purchase Price and interest
thereon and any repurchase of Receivables shall be made pro rata according to
the respective Commitment Percentages of the Purchasers. The Managing Facility
Agent shall distribute payments received by or on behalf of the Seller to the
Purchasers promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.
(b) Unless the Managing Facility Agent shall have been
notified in writing by any Purchaser prior to a Settlement Date that such
Purchaser will not make available to the Managing Facility Agent the amount that
would constitute its Available Commitment Percentage of the aggregate Purchase
Price to be paid on such date, the Managing Facility Agent may assume that such
Purchaser has made such amount available to the Managing Facility Agent on such
Settlement Date, and the Managing Facility Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Seller a corresponding amount. If such amount
is made available to the Managing Facility Agent on a date after such Settlement
Date, such Purchaser shall pay to the Managing Facility Agent on demand an
amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal funds rate during
such period as quoted by the Managing Facility Agent, times (ii) the amount of
such Purchaser's Available Commitment Percentage of such aggregate Purchase
Price, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that
elapse from and including such Settlement Date to the date on which such
Purchaser's Available Commitment Percentage of such aggregate Purchase Price
shall have become immediately available to the Managing Facility Agent and the
denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Managing Facility Agent
submitted to any Purchaser with respect to any amounts owing under this
subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such
Purchaser's Available Commitment Percentage of such aggregate Purchase Price is
not in fact made available to the Managing Facility Agent by such Purchaser
within three Business Days after such Settlement Date, then on the fourth
Business Day after such Settlement Date the Seller shall be deemed to have
repurchased participating interests in the Receivables in an amount equal to
such Purchaser's Available Commitment Percentage of the aggregate Purchase Price
paid on such Settlement Date, together with interest on such amount at the rate
per annum equal to the LIBO Rate, such repurchase to be made by a cash payment
to the Managing Facility Agent for its own account; provided that such
repurchase shall not limit the rights of the Seller against the Purchaser which
failed to make available its Available Commitment Percentage of such aggregate
Purchase Price.
61
2.21 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any change in
any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall
make it unlawful for any Purchaser to make or maintain its proportionate share
of the Outstanding Purchase Price based on the LIBO Rate as contemplated by this
Agreement, (a) the Commitment of such Purchaser hereunder to make purchases
shall forthwith be canceled and (b) the Outstanding Purchase Price of such
Purchaser shall be paid on each Settlement Date thereafter as if such Purchaser
were a Dissenting Purchaser under subsection 2.8.
2.22 Requirements of Law. (a) In the event that any change in any Requirement of
Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any
Purchaser with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (each, a "Change in Law")
made subsequent to the date hereof (or with respect to a Purchasing Party which
becomes a party hereto pursuant to subsection 11.6(c), made subsequent to the
date such Purchasing Party became a party hereto) shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special
deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
the account of, or credit extended by, any Purchaser (except any such
reserve requirement reflected in the LIBO Rate); or
(ii) impose on any Purchaser or the London interbank market
any other condition affecting this Agreement or the making of purchases
or the maintaining of a proportionate share of the Outstanding Purchase
Price by such Purchaser;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Purchaser of making purchases or maintaining its proportionate share of the
Outstanding Purchase Price (or of maintaining its obligation to do any of the
foregoing) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
Purchaser hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Seller will pay to such Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Purchaser for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered.
(b) If any Purchaser determines that any Change in Law
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Purchaser's capital or on the capital of such Purchaser's
holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or such Purchaser's
obligations hereunder, to a level below that which such Purchaser or such
Purchaser's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration such Purchaser's policies and the policies of such
Purchaser's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to
time the Seller will pay to such Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Purchaser or such Purchaser's holding company for any such
reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Purchaser setting forth the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Purchaser or its holding company, as the
case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this subsection shall be
delivered to the Seller and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Seller shall pay such Purchaser the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 10 days after receipt thereof.
62
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Purchaser to demand
compensation pursuant to this subsection shall not constitute a waiver of such
Purchaser's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Seller shall
not be required to compensate a Purchaser pursuant to this subsection for any
increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date
that such Purchaser notifies the Seller of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Purchaser's intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise
to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof.
2.23 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or an account of any obligation of the
Seller hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Seller shall be required
to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the
sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this subsection) the Managing Facility Agent, Co-Administrative Agent or
Purchaser (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Seller shall make such
deductions and (iii) the Seller shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Seller shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) The Seller shall indemnify the Managing Facility Agent,
each Co-Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, within 10 days after written
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this subsection) paid by the Managing
Facility Agent, such Co-Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, as the case may
be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the
Seller by a Purchaser, or by the Managing Facility Agent on its own behalf or on
behalf of a Purchaser or a Co-Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes by the Seller to a Governmental Authority, the Seller shall
deliver to the Managing Facility Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Managing Facility Agent.
(e) Any Foreign Purchaser that is entitled to an exemption
from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which
the Seller is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with
respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Seller (with a
copy to the Managing Facility Agent), at the time or times prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Seller, such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
63
2.24 Reemployment Costs. The Seller agrees to indemnify each Purchaser and to
hold each Purchaser harmless from any loss or expense (including, but not
limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by a
Purchaser to lenders of funds obtained by it or them to purchase or maintain an
interest in the Purchased Receivables with respect to which the Note Rate is
determined by reference to the LIBO Rate) as a consequence of (a) default by the
Seller in the performance of its obligations hereunder, (b) any reduction in the
Outstanding Purchase Price prior to the last day of any Settlement Period, (c)
the failure of the Seller or the Servicer to make any amounts available to the
Managing Facility Agent when due hereunder or (d) any expenses (excluding legal
expenses) incurred by any Purchaser pursuant to subsection 2.21. A certificate
of such Purchaser submitted to the Seller certifying, in reasonably specific
detail, the basis for, calculation of and amounts of such additional costs shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive for
a period of two years following the date on which the Amortization Period ends.
2.25 Seller's Obligations Absolute and Unconditional. The Seller's obligations
under this Section 2 to make payments, deposits and repurchases shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall be performed without regard to any set-off
which the Seller at any time may have available to it.
2.26 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Purchaser. (a) If any Purchaser
requests compensation under subsection 2.22, or if the Seller is required to pay
any additional amount to any Purchaser or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Purchaser pursuant to subsection 2.23, then such Purchaser shall
use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its purchases hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment
of such Purchaser, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to subsection 2.22 or 2.23, as the case may be, in the
future and (ii) would not subject such Purchaser to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Purchaser. The Seller
hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Purchaser
in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) If any Purchaser requests compensation under subsection
2.22, or if the Seller is required to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser
or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser pursuant to
subsection 2.23, or if any Purchaser defaults in its obligation hereunder to
make purchases or maintain its proportionate share of the Outstanding Purchase
Price or if at any time after the Effective Date any Purchaser shall cause the
Managing Facility Agent to notify the Seller and the Servicer of a Prohibited
Jurisdiction, then the Seller may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice
to such Purchaser and the Managing Facility Agent, require such Purchaser to
assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in subsection 11.6), all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Purchaser, if a Purchaser accepts
such assignment); provided that (i) the Seller shall have received the prior
written consent of the Managing Facility Agent, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Purchaser shall have received payment of an
amount equal to such Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase Price, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Seller (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any
such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under subsection 2.22 or
payments required to be made pursuant to subsection 2.23, such assignment will
result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) in the case of
any such assignment resulting from a request to add an additional Prohibited
Jurisdiction, such assignee will not request that such jurisdiction be so
categorized. A Purchaser shall not be required to make any such assignment and
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Purchaser or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Seller to require such assignment and
delegation cease to apply.
64
2.27 Designation of Affiliate Receivables and Foreign Receivables. (a) Each
Affiliate Receivable and each Foreign Receivable (other than L/C Receivables,
Unsecured Foreign Receivables and Existing Receivables) shall be designated as a
Certified Foreign Receivable or an Uncertified Foreign Receivable in accordance
with this subsection 2.27.

Affiliate Receivables and Foreign Receivables will, subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions specified in subsection 5.2(e), constitute Certified Foreign
Receivables, Uncertified Foreign Receivables or Ineligible Receivables. Subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions specified in subsection 5.2(e), such
designation will be applied from and after the date of such notification. In the
absence of such notification, such Receivable shall constitute an Uncertified
Foreign Receivable, provided, however, that at any time thereafter, the Seller
may request that the Servicer determine whether any Uncertified Foreign
Receivable due to a change of circumstance is eligible to qualify as a Certified
Foreign Receivable. Within 45 days of receipt of such request (or such shorter
period as shall be reasonably practicable) the Servicer shall determine the
eligibility of the Uncertified Foreign Receivable referred to above to qualify

subsection 2.27 and notify the Seller.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the further

the New York UCC), addressed to the Old Administrative Agent and the Purchasers
(x) to the effect that no further action need be taken in order to (1) perfect
the transfer by Raytheon Credit to the Seller of such Existing Certified
Receivable, the related Financed Aircraft and Applicable Lease (if applicable)
and Collections thereon in accordance with the Intercompany Purchase Agreement
and (2) continue the Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent of such Existing
Certified Receivable, the related Financed Aircraft and Applicable Lease (if
applicable) and Collections thereon as a duly perfected Lien having the same
priority as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date and (y) if any
actions had been required in order to render the opinions set forth in clause
(x), setting forth such actions and (z) covering such other matters as the Old
Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, which opinion shall be in all
respects satisfactory in form and substance to the Old Administrative Agent and
its counsel.
69
(d) On the first Settlement Date (other than a Special
Settlement Date) following the Certified Opinion Delivery Date, the Seller shall
repurchase from the Purchasers and the Purchasers agree to sell to the Seller on
such date in accordance with the terms hereof, each Existing Certified
Receivable and each Existing GA Receivable (the Foreign Obligor of which is
located in Canada, France or Australia) as to which the Purchasers shall not
have received a legal opinion to the effect set forth in subsection 2.27(c)
hereof. Subject to subsections 2.13 and 2.15(b), the Seller shall make such
repurchase by depositing in the Concentration Account cash an amount for each
such Receivable equal to the amount set forth in clause (a) of the definition of
"Repurchase Price", calculated at the date such deposit is made, except to the
extent (without duplication) of any payment made pursuant to subsection 2.18,
for the Settlement Period during which such interest accrued and was not paid by
the Foreign Obligor under the related Contract. The amount of any such deposit
shall be applied and distributed in accordance with subsections 2.15 and 2.16.
Except as provided in subsection 9.1, the sole obligation of the Seller with
respect to a Receivable of the type described in this subsection 2.27(d) shall
be the requirement to repurchase or substitute for such Receivable pursuant to
this subsection 2.27(d).
SECTION 3. THE SERVICER AND SERVICING OF PURCHASED RECEIVABLES
3.1 Designation of Servicer; Removal. (a) The servicing, administering and
collection of Purchased Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the
"Servicer") so designated from time to time in accordance with this subsection
3.1. Until the Required Purchasers give notice to the Seller of the designation
of a new Servicer pursuant to subsection 3.1(b), Raytheon Credit is hereby
designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the
Servicer for the Purchased Receivables sold hereunder. The Servicer may, with
the prior consent of the Required Purchasers, subcontract with any other Person
to perform, in accordance with applicable laws, the servicing, administering or
collecting of Purchased Receivables, provided that the Servicer shall remain
liable for the performance of the duties and obligations of the Servicer
pursuant to the terms hereof. With respect to the Existing Receivables, the
capacity of the Servicer shall be a continuation by Raytheon Credit of its
capacity as Servicer under and as defined in each of the Existing Agreements.
(b) At any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Specified Amortization Event, the Required Purchasers may
remove Raytheon Credit (or any successor Servicer) as the Servicer and appoint
as a successor Servicer any Person to succeed Raytheon Credit (or any successor
Servicer) as Servicer, on the condition that such successor Servicer agrees to
perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.
Any such removal of Raytheon Credit (or any successor Servicer) as the Servicer
shall not become effective until such successor Servicer accepts its appointment
and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement with
respect to the Servicer in a writing satisfactory in form and substance to the
Managing Facility Agent and the Required Purchasers. The Servicer agrees to

the extent not covered by the Servicing Fee received by it. The Servicer, if
other than the Seller, shall as soon as practicable upon demand deliver to the

servicing, collection and administration was conducted in compliance
with the applicable provisions of this Agreement; and

with generally accepted auditing standards of the Servicer's internal
accounting controls relative to the servicing, administration and
collection of Purchased Receivables, Collections with respect thereto
and the related Contracts and Financed Aircraft, that such system of
internal accounting controls then in effect with respect to such
servicing procedures performed by the Servicer was sufficient for the

servicing, administration and collection of Purchased Receivables,
Collections with respect thereto and the related Contracts and Financed
Aircraft was conducted in compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement and (ii) such firm has compared the mathematical calculations
of amounts set forth on a statistically representative sample of
Settlement Statements delivered with respect to each Settlement Period

Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action
pursuant to this Agreement whether arising from express or implied duties under
this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Servicer against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
or by reason of its willful misconduct hereunder or by reason of Section 3.7.
The Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer

7.1 Negative Covenants of the Seller. The Seller hereby agrees that, so long as
the Commitments remain in effect, the Outstanding Purchase Price has not been
reduced to zero or any other amount is owing to any Purchaser or the Managing
Facility Agent hereunder, the Seller shall not:
(a) Sales, Liens, Etc. Sell, assign (by operation of law or
otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or create or suffer to exist any Lien (other
than Permitted Receivable Liens and other than, but solely with respect to a
Financed Aircraft, Permitted Aircraft Liens), upon or with respect to, the
Purchased Receivables, the related Contracts and Financed Aircraft or the
Collections with respect thereto, or assign any right to receive payments in
respect thereof other than to the Managing Facility Agent and the Purchasers
pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Extension or Amendment of Purchased Receivables. Extend,
amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Purchased Receivable, or amend,
modify or waive any term or condition of any Contract related thereto or permit
the Servicer (if the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller is then the Servicer)
to do any of the foregoing except in the normal course of the Seller's business
and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy or pursuant to
subsection 7.1(b)(iv)(x) (each, a "Modification"); provided that:
(i) any Modification made pursuant to this subsection 7.1(b)
shall be subject to the provisions of subsection 2.12;
(ii) if an Amortization Event shall have occurred and be
continuing, no Modification shall be made without the prior consent of
the Required Purchasers if the effect thereof would be to extend the
then average life of the Purchased Receivables taken as a whole, to
reduce or increase the Principal Balance of any Purchased Receivable or
to reduce the amount or rate of interest thereon or to cause the
Stipulated Aircraft Value under a Contract to be less than the
Outstanding Balance of the Receivable with respect to such Contract;
(iii) if an Amortization Event shall have occurred and be
continuing, no Modification shall be made without the prior consent of
each Purchaser if the effect thereof would be to extend the Final
Payment Date of a Receivable beyond the then latest Final Payment Date
of all Purchased Receivables;
(iv) the Seller shall not modify the payment terms of any
Purchased Receivable except (x) in accordance with the Credit and
Collection Policy, except that, (A) with respect to any GA Receivable,
the Seller shall not modify the payment terms of any such Purchased
Receivable more than once after the Closing Date or Settlement Date on
which such Receivable is sold or substituted pursuant to this Agreement
or an Existing Agreement, and (B) with respect to a Commuter
Receivable, (1) no more than an aggregate of 12 monthly principal
payments may be deferred during the term of any Contract and (2)
subject to the immediately following sentence, the Final Payment Date
may not be extended by more than three years and, (y) so long as no
94
Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer may
when necessary to prevent a possible default by the Obligor under any
Contract or in order to enhance the collectibility of any Receivable,
defer any scheduled payment of principal, in part or in whole, to a
later scheduled payment date under such Contract. If, after giving
effect to the extension of the Final Payment Date of a Purchased
Receivable pursuant to clause (iv)(x)(B)(2) of the foregoing proviso,
such extended Final Payment Date exceeds, (I) so long as no Rating
Event has occurred and is continuing, 13 years from the date of such
extension and, (II) during the continuance of a Rating Event, 10 years
from the date of such extension, then on the immediately following
Settlement Date (or if such date is a Settlement Date, then on such
date) the Seller shall deposit in the Concentration Account an amount
equal to the aggregate Principal Collections then scheduled to be paid
after such 13th year or 10th year, as the case may be, plus, if a
Trigger Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, accrued and
unpaid interest on the amount so deposited at the rate under the
related Contract except to the extent (without duplication) of any
payment made pursuant to subsection 2.18 for the Settlement Period
during which such interest accrued and was not paid by the Obligor
under such Contract. The amount of any such deposit shall be applied
and distributed in accordance with subsections 2.15 and 2.16 provided,
however, that any Purchased Receivable so modified shall be deemed an
Extended Term Receivable for purposes of subsection 2.15;
(v) any Modification made in accordance with this subsection
7.1(b) shall not cause the Principal Balance of the applicable
Purchased Receivable to exceed 50% of the Low Wholesale Value of the
related Financed Aircraft; and
(vi) the Seller shall not make any Modification which permits
the transfer of registered ownership in any Financed Aircraft without
the consent of the Required Purchasers, unless after giving effect to
such transfer (and any payments made under the Contract at the time of
transfer) the related Receivable would satisfy on the date of transfer
the criteria contained in the definition of Eligible Receivable;
provided that the provisions of this subsection 7.1(b)(vi) shall not
apply to a transfer by an Obligor to a wholly-owned Affiliate of such
Obligor.
(c) Change in Business or Credit and Collection Policy. Make
any material change in the character of its business or, without the prior
written consent of the Required Purchasers, notify any Obligor to remit payments
to a location other than that to which such payment would be remitted on the
Closing Date; make any change in the Credit and Collection Policy without prior
notice to the Managing Facility Agent and each Purchaser; provided that, without
the prior consent of the Required Purchasers, the Seller shall not make or
permit to be made any such change to the Credit and Collection Policy if such
change could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the
collectibility or maturity of any Purchased Receivable or the interests of the
Administrative Agent and the Purchasers in any Purchased Receivable, the related
Contract and Financed Aircraft or the Collections with respect thereto.

the Credit and Collection Policy, commence or settle any legal action to enforce
collection of any Purchased Receivable.

in part, any Financed Aircraft, or any other collateral securing or guarantee of

granted by such Contract except, that, the Seller may or may permit the Servicer
to, at its or the Servicer's own expense, (x) substitute engines in accordance
with subsection 7.1(j) and (y) substitute other parts (other than airframes) for
any of the parts on any Financed Aircraft as Seller or Servicer may deem
desirable in the proper conduct of its business; provided, however, that for
purposes of this clause (y), (i) no such substitution(s), individually or in the
aggregate, shall diminish the utility or remaining useful life of such Financed
Aircraft, or materially diminish the value, or impair the condition or
airworthiness, thereof, below the utility, remaining useful life, condition,
airworthiness, or value thereof immediately prior to such substitution, (ii) no
such substitution shall affect adversely the Lien on such Financed Aircraft
(other than the removed avionics) in favor of the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Purchasers (as such Lien was in effect immediately prior to such
substitution), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have a Lien on the
substitute parts with a priority no less than the priority of the Lien in favor
of the Administrative Agent on the removed parts and (iv) the new part shall not
be subject to any Liens other than Permitted Aircraft Liens. Upon substitution
of any engine or other parts on any Financed Aircraft, the Lien thereon of the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers shall, without the requirement
for any further act, be automatically released.

favorable to the Seller than it would obtain in a comparable arm's length

Person except (i) for purchases of Receivables pursuant to the Intercompany
Purchase Agreement, (ii) for investments in Cash Equivalents in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and (iii) the holding of the demand note made by RAC

respect to the profits, assets or capital of the Seller or any Person's interest
therein, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value any of its capital
stock now or hereafter outstanding, except that so long as the Seller would
continue to be Solvent as a result thereof and after giving effect thereto and
no Amortization Event is continuing or would result therefrom, the Seller may
declare and pay dividends on its capital stock.

Aircraft with any such applicable Requirement of Law;

(ix) any failure by the Seller, any Affiliate Obligor or

covenant or other promise required to be observed by any such Person
under any Contract related to any Purchased Receivable or (2), except
as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, with all provisions of the
Credit and Collection Policy in all material respects, which failure
reduces or impairs the rights of the Administrative Agent or any
Purchaser with respect to any Purchased Receivable or the value of any
Purchased Receivable including, but not limited to, failure to comply
with those provisions of the Credit and Collection Policy relating to
the cancellation, extension, amendment, modification, compromise or

Aircraft Lien to be released or bonded in accordance with the
definition of each such term) of the definition of "Eligible

satisfied pursuant to such definition on the date a Purchased
Receivable is sold or substituted); or
105
(xiii) the execution, delivery, performance, administration
and enforcement of any of the Purchase Documents.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
subsection 9.1(a), and with respect to any event of the type described in clause
(vi) or (xii) of subsection 9.1(a), the Managing Facility Agent, the
Administrative Agent, the Co-Administrative Agents and the Purchasers shall be
deemed to have incurred Indemnified Amounts with respect to a Purchased
Receivable as a result of events described in such clause (vi) or (xii) on the
earlier of (1) the date on which the Seller becomes aware of the event or events
of the type described in either of such clauses or (2) the date on which the
Managing Facility Agent notifies the Seller that the event described in either
of such clauses has occurred.
(c) Indemnification payments required to be made hereunder
shall be payable at any time on demand by the Managing Facility Agent at the
request of the applicable Indemnified Persons and shall be promptly deposited in
the Concentration Account and paid out to such Indemnified Persons pro rata with
respect to the Indemnified Amounts incurred and requested by such Indemnified
Persons.
(d) The agreements in this Section 9 shall survive the
completion of the Amortization Period.
9.2 Limitations of Seller's Liability. (a) The Seller shall not be required to
indemnify an Indemnified Person pursuant to subsection 9.1 for:
(i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified
Person; or
(ii) recourse for non-payment by an Obligor (except as

failed to be taken by a successor Servicer that is not an Affiliate of
the Seller appointed pursuant to subsection 3.1(b).
(b) Each of the Managing Facility Agent, each Administrative
Agent, each Co-Administrative Agent and each Purchaser hereby waives, to the
maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover
as Indemnified Amounts under this Section 9 any special, exemplary, punitive or
consequential damages; provided that the waiver contained in this subsection
9.2(b) shall not extend to, and the Managing Facility Agent, each Administrative
Agent, each Co-Administrative Agent and each Purchaser does not waive, any right
to claim or recover from the Seller any special, exemplary, punitive or
consequential damages for which an Indemnified Person is liable to any Person
(other than an Affiliate of such Indemnified Person).
106
9.3 Proceedings against Indemnified Person. (a) If any action, suit or
proceeding shall be brought against one or more of the Indemnified Persons in
respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Seller, such Indemnified
Person shall, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of such action,
suit or proceeding, notify the Seller in writing, enclosing a copy of all papers
served upon such Indemnified Person; provided that the failure so to notify the
Seller shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under
subsection 9.1 except to the extent that the Seller is prejudiced by such
failure. The Seller may, and upon such Indemnified Person's request shall, at
the Seller's expense, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding, or
cause the same to be resisted or defended by counsel selected by the Seller. In
the event of any failure by the Seller to resist and defend such suit, action or
proceeding or cause the same to be resisted or defended by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, the Seller shall pay all reasonable
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney's fees and
disbursements) incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with such suit,
action or proceeding. In the event that the Seller does assume the defense of
such suit, action or proceeding, the Seller shall have the sole authority to
negotiate, compromise and settle such claim; provided that such Indemnified
Person shall have the right to employ counsel to represent it in connection with
any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by such Indemnified Person
against the Seller under such subsection 9.1 if, in the reasonable judgment of
such Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person may have a conflict with the
Seller, such Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be represented by separate
counsel, and in that event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall
be paid by the Seller. In any event, the Indemnified Person shall retain the
right to employ its own counsel, but the Indemnified Person shall, except as
otherwise provided in this subsection 9.3, bear and shall be solely responsible
for its own costs and expenses.
(b) The Seller shall be subrogated to an Indemnified Person's
rights in any matter with respect to which the Seller has actually reimbursed
such Indemnified Person for any amounts for which the Indemnified Person claims
indemnification hereunder after the Amortization Period ends.
SECTION 10. THE MANAGING FACILITY AGENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
10.1 Appointment. Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Bank
of America, N.A., as the Managing Facility Agent of such Purchaser under this
Agreement and the other Purchase Documents and each such Purchaser irrevocably
authorizes Bank of America, N.A., as the Managing Facility Agent for such
Purchaser, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this
Agreement and the other Purchase Documents and to exercise such powers and
perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Managing Facility Agent by
the terms of this Agreement and the other Purchase Documents, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Purchaser hereby
irrevocably designates and appoints each of Bank of America, N.A. and UBS AG,
Stamford Branch (as successor to Swiss Bank Corporation, Stamford Branch, as
successor to Swiss Bank Corporation, New York Branch) as Administrative Agent
under this Agreement and the other Purchase Documents and to be, or continue to

benefit of the Purchasers with respect to the Receivables and the related
Aircraft and in and on all presently existing or hereafter executed financing
statements, assignments and continuation statements, FAA Assignments and other
FAA filings and similar filings in foreign jurisdictions and security interests
granted under this Agreement or any predecessor agreement (including pursuant to
Sections 11.11 and 11.12) relating to the Receivables and the related Aircraft.
Each Administrative Agent shall act solely in accordance with the instructions
of the Managing Facility Agent (including pursuant to Sections 11.10, 11.11 and
11.12) which in the case of the Old Administrative Agent shall be deemed to
include any action taken by the Managing Facility Agent pursuant to a power of
attorney granted by the Old Administrative Agent in favor of the Managing
Facility Agent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this
Agreement, the Managing Facility Agent and each Administrative Agent shall not
have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or
any fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
into this Agreement or any other Purchase Document or otherwise exist against
the Managing Facility Agent or either Administrative Agent.
107
10.2 Delegation of Duties. The Managing Facility Agent and each Administrative
Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Purchase
Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to
advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Managing
Facility Agent and each Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care.
10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Managing Facility Agent, each
Administrative Agent, nor any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any
action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Purchase Document (except for its or
such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in
any manner to any of the Purchasers for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by the Seller, the Servicer or Raytheon or
any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Purchase Document
or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or
provided for in, or received by the Managing Facility Agent or either
Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other
Purchase Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Purchase Document
or for any failure of the Seller, the Servicer or Raytheon to perform their
respective obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Managing Facility Agent and
each Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Purchaser to
ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of (except delivery to it of items
required by Section 5 hereof to be delivered to it), this Agreement or any other
Purchase Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Seller,
the Servicer or Raytheon. Without limiting the foregoing, the Old Administrative
Agent shall not have any liability for (i) any action, or omission to act, which
is made in accordance with the instructions of the Managing Facility Agent or
(ii) the failure to act if it has not received any instructions from the
Managing Facility Agent.
10.4 Reliance by Managing Facility Agent and Administrative Agent. The Managing
Facility Agent and each Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or
teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by
it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper
Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including,
without limitation, counsel to the Seller, the Servicer or Raytheon),
independent accountants and other experts selected by the Managing Facility
Agent or such Administrative Agent. The Managing Facility Agent and each
Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement or any other Purchase Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Purchasers as it deems
appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the
Purchasers against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it
by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Managing Facility
Agent and each Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other
Purchase Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Purchasers or
the Majority Purchasers, as appropriate, and such request and any action taken
or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon each Purchaser.
108
10.5 Notice of Certain Events. Neither the Managing Facility Agent nor any
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of an Amortization Event, Discount Event, Rating Event, Remittance
Event or Ineligibility Event (each, an "Occurrence") hereunder unless the
Managing Facility Agent has received notice from a Purchaser, the Seller, the
Servicer, RAC or Raytheon referring to this Agreement, describing such
Occurrence and stating that such notice is a notice thereof. In the event that
the Managing Facility Agent receives such a notice, the Managing Facility Agent
shall promptly give notice thereof to the Purchasers. The Managing Facility
Agent shall take such action with respect to any Amortization Event as shall be
reasonably directed by the Majority Purchasers; provided that unless and until
the Managing Facility Agent shall have received such directions, the Managing
Facility Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain
from taking such action, with respect to any such Amortization Event as it shall
deem advisable in the best interests of the Purchasers.
10.6 Non-Reliance on Managing Facility Agent, the Administrative Agent, the
Co-Administrative Agents and the Purchasers. Each Purchaser expressly
acknowledges that neither the Managing Facility Agent, either Administrative
Agent, the Co-Administrative Agents nor any of their officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations
or warranties to it and that no act by the Managing Facility Agent, either
Administrative Agent or the Co-Administrative Agents hereafter taken, including
any review of the affairs of the Seller, the Servicer or Raytheon, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Managing Facility
Agent, either Administrative Agent or the Co-Administrative Agents to any
Purchaser. Each Purchaser represents to the Managing Facility Agent, each
Administrative Agent and the Co-Administrative Agents that it has, independently
and without reliance upon the Managing Facility Agent, either Administrative
Agent, the Co-Administrative Agents or any other Purchaser, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal
of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of the Seller, the Servicer and Raytheon
and made its own decision to make its purchases hereunder and enter into this
Agreement. Each Purchaser also represents that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Managing Facility Agent, either Administrative Agent
or the Co-Administrative Agents or any Purchaser, and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement and the other Purchase Documents, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Seller, the Servicer and Raytheon. Except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly required to be furnished to the Purchasers by the Managing
Facility Agent hereunder, neither the Managing Facility Agent, either
Administrative Agent nor the Co-Administrative Agents shall have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Purchaser with any credit or other information
concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Seller or Raytheon which may
come into the possession of the Managing Facility Agent, either Administrative
Agent or the Co-Administrative Agents or any of their officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
109
10.7 Indemnification. The Purchasers agree to indemnify the Managing Facility
Agent and each Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Seller or Raytheon and without limiting the obligation of the
Seller or Raytheon to do so), ratably according to the respective amounts of
their Commitments, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without
limitation, at any time after the Outstanding Purchase Price is reduced to zero)
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Managing Facility Agent or
either Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, any other Purchase Document or any documents contemplated by or
referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
or any action taken or omitted by the Managing Facility Agent or either
Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided
that no Purchaser shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Managing Facility
Agent's or either Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The agreements in this subsection shall survive the reduction of the Outstanding
Purchase Price to zero and payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.
10.8 Managing Facility Agent and Administrative Agent in Their Individual
Capacities. The Managing Facility Agent and each Administrative Agent and their
respective Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally
engage in any kind of business with the Seller, the Servicer, RAC and Raytheon
and their Affiliates as though the Managing Facility Agent were not the Managing
Facility Agent, or such Administrative Agent was not an Administrative Agent,
hereunder and under the other Purchase Documents. With respect to purchases made
by it, the Managing Facility Agent and each Administrative Agent shall have the
same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Purchase Documents as
any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Managing
Facility Agent or an Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and the terms
"Purchaser" and "Purchasers" shall include the Managing Facility Agent and each
Administrative Agent, each in its individual capacity.
10.9 Successor Managing Facility Agent or Administrative Agent. The Managing
Facility Agent may resign as Managing Facility Agent upon 30 days' notice to the
Purchasers and such resignation shall be effective upon the earlier of (i) the
expiration of such 30 day notice period and (ii) the appointment of a successor
Managing Facility Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.9.;
provided that, if a successor Managing Facility Agent shall not have been
appointed prior to the end of such 30 day notice period, the Managing Facility
Agent shall remain the Administrative Agent until a successor Managing Facility
Agent is appointed in accordance with this Section 10.9. If the Managing
Facility Agent shall resign as Managing Facility Agent under this Agreement and
the other Purchase Documents, then the Required Purchasers shall appoint from
among the Purchasers a successor agent for the Purchasers, which successor agent
shall, subject to the consent of the Seller and Raytheon (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld), succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the
Managing Facility Agent including its rights powers and duties as Administrative
Agent hereunder, and the term "Managing Facility Agent" shall mean such
successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Managing Facility
Agent's rights, powers and duties as Managing Facility Agent and as an
Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or
deed on the part of such former Managing Facility Agent or any of the parties to
this Agreement or any holder of an Assignment. After any retiring Managing
Facility Agent's resignation as Managing Facility Agent, the provisions of this
subsection shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Managing Facility Agent under this Agreement and the
other Purchase Documents. The Old Administrative Agent shall have the right to
resign as an Administrative Agent in accordance with the letter, dated March 17,
1999, among the Old Administrative, Raytheon and the Managing Facility Agent,
relating to the Old Administrative Agent's term as an Administrative Agent.

In the case of any waiver, the Seller, the Servicer, RAC, Raytheon, the

position and rights hereunder and under any other Purchase Documents, and any
Amortization Event (including, any Trigger Amortization Event, any Specified
Amortization Event or any Note Rate Amortization Event) waived shall be deemed
to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Amortization Event, Trigger Amortization Event, Specified
Amortization Event or Note Rate Amortization Event, or impair any right
consequent thereon.
111

with respect to the Foreign Receivables and the Affiliate Receivables), and (c)
to pay, indemnify, and hold each Purchaser, the Managing Facility Agent, each
Administrative Agent and each Co-Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all
recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or
resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which

delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions
contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver
or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Purchase Documents
and any such other documents (all the foregoing, collectively, the "indemnified
liabilities"), provided, that the Seller shall have no obligation hereunder to
the Managing Facility Agent, either Administrative Agent or any Purchaser (each,
an "Indemnitee") with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from (i) the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (ii) legal
proceedings commenced against such Indemnitee by any security holder or creditor
thereof arising out of and based upon rights afforded any such security holder
or creditor solely in its capacity as such, or (iii) legal proceedings commenced
against such Indemnitee by any other Purchaser or by any Transferee. The
agreements in this subsection shall survive the completion of the Amortization
Period.
113
11.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Parties.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Seller, the Purchasers, the Co-Administrative Agents, the
Managing Facility Agent, the Administrative Agent and their respective
successors and assigns, except that (i) the Seller may not assign or transfer
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the Managing Facility Agent, the Administrative Agent and each
Purchaser and (ii) certain governmental authorities in foreign jurisdictions may
require the completion of certain procedures in order for any such assignment to
be effective with respect to the Foreign Receivables and the Affiliate
Receivables.
(b) Any Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its
commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time
sell to one or more banks or other entities ("Participants") participating
interests in such Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase Price, the Commitment of such
Purchaser or any other interest of such Purchaser hereunder and under the other
Purchase Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Purchaser of
participating interests to a Participant, such Purchaser's obligations under
this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such
Purchaser shall be the "Purchaser" for all purposes under this Agreement and the
other Purchase Documents, and the Seller and the Managing Facility Agent shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such
Purchaser's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Purchase
Documents. The Seller agrees that, upon the occurrence and continuance of a
Rating Event and an Amortization Event of the type described in subsection
8.1(a), (b), (i) or (j), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of
setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this
Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were
owing directly to it as a Purchaser under this Agreement; provided that such
Participant shall only be entitled to such right of setoff pursuant to this
sentence if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall
have acquired its participating interest to share with the Purchasers the
proceeds thereof as provided in subsection 11.7. The Seller also agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.22, 2.23 and
2.24 and 11.5 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the
Outstanding Purchase Price; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to
receive any greater amount pursuant to such subsections than the transferor
Purchaser would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the
participation transferred by such transferor Purchaser to such Participant had
no such transfer occurred. Promptly after the sale of any such participation,
the selling Purchaser shall give the Managing Facility Agent notice of the
amount sold and the identity of the Participant.
(c) Any Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its
commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time
sell to any Purchaser or any affiliate thereof and, with the consent of the
Seller and the Managing Facility Agent (which in each case shall not be
unreasonably withheld), to one or more additional financial institutions (each,
a "Purchasing Party") all or any part of such Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase
Price, the Commitment of such Purchaser or any other interest of such Purchaser
hereunder and under the other Purchase Documents; provided that such assignment
shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 unless such assignment is to a
financial institution not then a party to this Agreement, in which case such
assignment shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000. Each such assignment
shall be made pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such
114
Purchasing Party, such Transferor Purchaser and, in the case of a Purchasing
Party that is not then a Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof, by the Seller and
the Managing Facility Agent, and delivered to the Managing Facility Agent for
its acceptance and recording in the Register. Any SPC may, without obtaining any
consent hereunder, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Purchased
Receivable under this Agreement to its SPC Bank, its Liquidity Bank or another
SPC managed by the same SPC Bank as such SPC. Each such assignment shall be made
pursuant to written notice (a "Transfer Notice") delivered to the Managing
Facility Agent for recording in the Register. Upon the execution, delivery,
acceptance (if required) and recording of any Transfer Notice or Commitment
Transfer Supplement, as the case may be, from and after the Transfer Effective
Date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement (or after the
effective date set forth in the Transfer Notice), (x) the Purchasing Party
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such
Commitment Transfer Supplement (or such Transfer Notice, as the case may be),
have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser hereunder with a Commitment as
set forth therein, and (y) the transferor Purchaser thereunder shall, to the
extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement (or such Transfer Notice,
as the case may be), be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and,
in the case of a Commitment Transfer Supplement, or Transfer Notice, as the case
may be, covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Purchaser's rights
and obligations under this Agreement, such transferor Purchaser shall cease to
be a party hereto). Such Commitment Transfer Supplement (or such Transfer
Notice, as the case may be) shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the
extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such
Purchasing Party and the resulting adjustment of Commitment Percentages or
Available Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing
Party of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor
Purchaser under this Agreement.
(d) The Managing Facility Agent shall maintain at its address
referred to in subsection 11.2 a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement and
each Transfer Notice delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers and the Commitment of,
and proportionate share of the Outstanding Purchase Price from time to time
payable to, each Purchaser from time to time. The entries in the Register shall
be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Seller, the Managing
Facility Agent and the Purchasers may treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Register as the holder of the Commitment recorded therein for all
purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by
the Seller, the Servicer or any Purchaser at any reasonable time and from time
to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Managing Facility Agent.
(e) Upon its receipt of a Commitment Transfer Supplement or a
Transfer Notice executed by a transferor Purchaser and Purchasing Party (and, in
the case of a Purchasing Party that is not then a Purchaser or an Affiliate
thereof, by the Seller and the Managing Facility Agent) and, except in the case
of a transfer from an SPC to its Liquidity Bank, payment by the transferor
Purchaser or the Purchasing Party of a servicing fee of $3,500 to the Managing
Facility Agent, the Managing Facility Agent shall (i) promptly accept such
Commitment Transfer Supplement or Transfer Notice, as the case may be, and (ii)
on the Transfer Effective Date determined pursuant thereto record the
information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance
and recordation to the Seller, such transferor Purchaser and such Purchasing
Party.
115
(f) The Seller authorizes each Purchaser to disclose to any
Participant or Purchasing Party (each, a "Transferee") and any prospective
Transferee any and all financial information in such Purchaser's possession
concerning the Seller and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such
Purchaser by or on behalf of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or which has
been delivered to such Purchaser by or on behalf of the Seller in connection
with such Purchaser's credit evaluation of the Seller and its Affiliates prior
to becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that such Transferee or such
prospective Transferee shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the same
confidentiality provisions as a Purchaser with respect to all information
delivered hereunder.
(g) If, pursuant to this subsection, any interest in this
Agreement is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of
any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof, the
transferor Purchaser shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to represent to the transferor Purchaser
(for the benefit of the transferor Purchaser, the Managing Facility Agent,
Raytheon, RAC, the Servicer and the Seller) that under applicable law and
treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Managing Facility
Agent, the Seller, Raytheon, RAC, the Servicer or the transferor Purchaser with
respect to any payments to be made to such Transferee in respect of the
Outstanding Purchase Price, (ii) to furnish to the transferor Purchaser (and, in
the case of any Purchasing Party registered in the Register, the Managing
Facility Agent and the Seller) (A) either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form
4224 or U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 (wherein such Transferee claims
entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all
interest payments hereunder) and (B) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9
and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the transferor Purchaser, the Managing
Facility Agent, Raytheon, RAC and the Seller) to provide the transferor
Purchaser (and, in the case of any Purchasing Party registered in the Register,
the Managing Facility Agent and the Seller) a new Form 4224 or Form 1001, or
Form W-8 or W-9, if applicable, upon the expiration or obsolescence of any
previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with
applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed
by such Transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S.
laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.
(h) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Purchaser from pledging
or assigning its interests hereunder to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance
with applicable law or prohibit any SPC from pledging or assigning its interests
hereunder to its SPC Bank.
11.7 Adjustments; Set-off.
(a) If any Purchaser (a "Benefitted Purchaser") shall at any
time receive any payment of all or part of its Outstanding Purchase Price, or
interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of
the nature referred to in subsection 8.1(j) or pursuant to the Guarantee, the
Repurchase Agreement or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such
payment to or collateral received by any other Purchaser, if any, in respect of
such other Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase Price, or interest payable thereon,
such Benefitted Purchaser shall purchase for cash from the other Purchasers such
portion of each such other Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase Price, or shall
provide such other Purchasers with the benefits of any such collateral, or the
proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Purchaser to
share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with
each of the Purchasers; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such
excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted
Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the Purchase Price and benefits
returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Seller
agrees that each Purchaser so purchasing a portion of another Purchaser's
Outstanding Purchase Price may exercise all rights of payment (including,
without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as
if such Purchaser were the direct holder of such portion.
116
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Purchasers
provided by law, each Purchaser shall have the right, without prior notice to
the Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by the Seller to the extent
permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and continuance of a Rating
Event or an Amortization Event of the type described in subsection 8.1(a), (b),
(i) or (j), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any
currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in
each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Purchaser or any branch or agency
thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Seller. Each Purchaser agrees
promptly to notify the Seller and the Managing Facility Agent after any such
set-off and application made by such Purchaser, provided that the failure to
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
11.8 Responsibilities of the Seller. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding:
(a) the Seller shall perform all of its obligations under
Contracts related to the Purchased Receivables to the same extent as if
such Purchased Receivables had not been sold hereunder and the exercise
by either Administrative Agent or the Managing Facility Agent or any
Purchaser of any of their rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller
from such obligations or its obligations with respect to such Purchased
Receivables; and
(b) neither Administrative Agent, nor the Managing Facility
Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any obligation or liability with
respect to any Purchased Receivables or the related Contracts or
Financed Aircraft, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of
the obligations of the Seller thereunder.
11.9 Optional Repurchase. If the Outstanding Purchase Price at any time during
the Amortization Period is less than 10% of the maximum Outstanding Purchase
Price at any time during the Revolving Period, then on any Settlement Date
thereafter the Seller may, by 10 days prior irrevocable notice to the Managing
Facility Agent, repurchase the ownership interests in the Purchased Receivables
by payment to the Managing Facility Agent for the account of the Purchasers of
an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Outstanding Purchase Price on such
Settlement Date, (ii) interest accrued to such Settlement Date and (iii) all
other amounts payable to the Managing Facility Agent and the Purchasers under
this Agreement.
11.10 Reassignments. (a) The Purchasers (or a Dissenting Purchaser, as the case
may be) shall assign (subject to the Purchasers' right to receive Net Recoveries
in certain circumstances as described herein) to the Seller all their (or its)
ownership interests in any Purchased Receivable (or portion thereof) sold
hereunder (i) which has been repurchased pursuant to subsection 2.8(b) or
2.13(c) (in the case of repurchases from a Dissenting Purchaser) or subsection
2.7(b), 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, or 11.9 (in all other cases) or for which an indemnity
in an amount satisfactory to the Managing Facility Agent and the Purchasers has
been paid pursuant to subsection 9.1(a)(vi) or 9.1(a)(xii) or (ii) when the
Principal Balance of any such Purchased Receivable has been reduced to zero. In
connection with reassignments pursuant to this subsection 11.10(a), the Managing
Facility Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall promptly
execute and deliver to the Seller, at the Seller's expense, such documents and
instruments of reassignment as the Seller may reasonably request.
117
(b) With respect to any Contract for which all amounts
outstanding thereunder (including accrued interest) are paid prior to the Final
Payment Date of such Contract, and upon receipt by the Managing Facility Agent
of certification by the Servicer of such prepayment in full, the Administrative
Agent agrees to execute such documents and instruments (including releases of
security interests) for recording and filing with the FAA Registry which are
necessary to release the Lien on the related Financed Aircraft as a result of
such prepayment in full. In order to facilitate the business operations of the
Seller and the Servicer, the Administrative Agent may provide the Servicer with
a limited number of executed releases; provided that, the Servicer shall not
file any such release without the written consent of the Managing Facility
Agent; provided further that, the Servicer shall promptly return all such
releases to the Managing Facility Agent upon the occurrence of an Amortization
Event or if the Managing Facility Agent shall so request. With respect to any
substitution of Lease Receivables made pursuant to subsection 2.13(e), the
Administrative Agent agrees to execute such documents and instruments (including
releases of security interests) for recording and filing with the FAA Registry
which are necessary (i) to release the Lien on the lease related to the Replaced
Lease Receivable so long as, prior to or concurrently with the recording and
filing with the FAA Registry of any such document or instrument of release, the
conditions contained in subsection 5.2(e) with respect to the lease and the
Financed Aircraft related to the Substituted Lease Receivable substituted for
such Replaced Lease Receivable have been satisfied and (ii) if amounts are
required to be paid pursuant to subsection 2.13(e) because the Outstanding
Balance of the Replaced Lease Receivable is greater than the Purchase Price of
the Substituted Lease Receivable at the time the substitution occurs have been
so paid, to release the Financed Aircraft related to such Replaced Lease
Receivable. Each Purchaser authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute such
documents and instruments in accordance with this subsection 11.10(b) and with
respect to Foreign Receivables and Affiliate Receivables, except for Uncertified
Foreign Receivables, to take whatever action is necessary to release any Liens
in accordance with the intent of this subsection 11.10(b).
(c) In connection with any Receivable not purchased by the
Purchasers hereunder for which an FAA Assignment was filed with respect to the
related Financed Aircraft, the Administrative Agent agrees to promptly execute
such documents and instruments for recording and filing with the FAA Registry
which are necessary to reassign to the Seller the interests covered by such FAA
Assignment in such Financed Aircraft and to take whatever actions with respect
to any Foreign Receivable and any Affiliate Receivables are necessary to effect
a reassignment in the applicable foreign jurisdictions.
118
(d) The Purchasers shall assign (subject to the Purchasers'
right to receive Net Recoveries in certain circumstances as described herein) to
Raytheon all of their ownership interests in any Receivable (or portion thereof)
purchased by Raytheon pursuant to paragraph 2(e) of the Guarantee. In addition,
the Purchasers shall assign (subject to the Purchasers' right to receive Net
Recoveries in certain circumstances as described herein) to RAC all of their
ownership interests in any Receivable (or portion thereof) purchased by RAC
pursuant to Section 2 of the Repurchase Agreement. In connection with
reassignments pursuant to this subsection 11.10(d), the Managing Facility Agent,
the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall promptly execute and deliver
to Raytheon or RAC, as appropriate, such documents and instruments of
reassignment as Raytheon or RAC, as the case may be, may reasonably request.
(e) All reassignments by the Managing Facility Agent, the
Administrative Agent and the Purchasers pursuant to this Section 11.10 shall be
made without any recourse, representation or warranty whatsoever.
11.11 Intention of the Parties; Lien on Intercompany Purchase Agreement. (a) It
is expressly intended that each purchase hereunder be, and be construed as, an
absolute sale of the Purchased Receivables by the Seller to the Purchasers
conveying good title thereto free and clear of any Lien, and that the Purchased
Receivables not be part of the estate of the Seller in the event of bankruptcy
or insolvency of the Seller. It is further expressly intended that such
conveyance not be deemed a pledge of the Purchased Receivable by the Seller to
the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Purchasers to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the
event that the Purchased Receivables are held to be the property of the Seller,
or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed not to effect an
absolute sale of the Purchased Receivables, then (i) the parties hereto intend
that the extensions of credit from the Purchasers to the Seller shall be a loan
in a principal amount equal to the then Outstanding Purchase Price with interest
payable thereon pursuant to subsection 2.17, (ii) the parties hereto intend that
this Agreement constitute a security agreement and (iii) the Seller hereby
grants to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers, as
collateral security for all of the obligations of the Seller and Raytheon Credit
hereunder, a first priority security interest in all of the right, title and
interest of the Seller whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to:
(A) all accounts, contract rights, general intangibles,
chattel paper, instruments, documents, proceeds of a letter of credit
and money consisting of, arising from, constituting or relating to the
Purchased Receivables (including, without limitation, amounts from time
to time on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account or the Concentration
Account);
(B) all of the Seller's rights in, under and to the Contracts
and its interest in the related Financed Aircraft, including any
security interests in such Financed Aircraft, and the Applicable
Leases;
(C) all accounts, contract rights, general intangibles,
chattel paper, instruments, documents and money and other rights
arising from or by virtue of or constituting the Collections; and
(D) all proceeds of the collateral described in the foregoing
clauses A, B and C (clauses A through D, collectively, the "Receivables
Collateral").
119
(b) In connection with the transfer of the Receivables
Collateral as aforesaid (whether or not such transfer constitutes a sale or the
grant of a Lien) the Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the
ratable benefit of the Purchasers, as collateral security for all of the
obligations of the Seller and Raytheon Credit hereunder, a first priority
security interest in all of the right, title and interest of the Seller, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Intercompany Purchase Agreement,
including, without limitation, the obligation of Raytheon Credit to make
repurchases thereunder (together with the Receivables Collateral, the
"Collateral").
(c) In connection herewith, if this Agreement is held or
deemed not to effect on absolute sale of the Purchased Receivables to the
Purchasers, the Managing Facility Agent and each Purchaser shall have all the
rights and remedies of a secured party and a creditor under the UCC and all
other applicable laws in each relevant jurisdiction. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Trigger Amortization Event, if this Agreement is held or deemed not to effect an
absolute sale of the Purchased Receivables to the Purchasers, with the consent
of the Required Purchasers the Managing Facility Agent may, or at the direction
of the Required Purchasers, the Managing Facility Agent shall, by notice to the
Seller, declare the Outstanding Purchase Price to be immediately due and
payable, whereupon such amount shall become immediately due and payable and, at
such time or at any time after such declaration, the Administrative Agent,
without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred
to below) to or upon the Seller or any other Person (all and each of which
demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such
circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give
option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the
Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one
or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's
board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser or elsewhere upon
such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may
deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of
any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall have the right
upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon
any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the
Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Seller,
which right or equity is hereby waived or released. The Seller further agrees,
at the Administrative Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it
available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent
shall reasonably select, whether at the Seller's premises or elsewhere. The
Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection,
recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all
reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to
the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the
Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers
hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such
order as the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion may elect, and
only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of
any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without
limitation, Section 9-504(1)(c) of the UCC in the relevant jurisdiction, need
the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Seller. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Seller waives all claims, damages and
demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser arising
120
out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed
sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice
shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale
or other disposition. The Seller shall remain liable for any deficiency if the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to
pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by
the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser to collect such deficiency. The Seller
authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, at any time and from
time to time, to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in this
subsection 11.11(c), any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of
conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.
(d) Each Administrative Agent's sole duty with respect to the
custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its
possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC in the relevant jurisdiction or
otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as such Administrative
Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Managing
Facility Agent, either Administrative Agent, any Co-Administrative Agent, any
Purchaser nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents
shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part
of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation
to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Seller or
otherwise. Nothing in this subsection 11.11 shall be construed to prejudice any
rights the Purchasers have as purchasers or owners of the Purchased Receivables.
(e) The foregoing transfer, assignment, set-over and
conveyance does not constitute and is not intended to result in the creation or
an assumption by either Administrative Agent or any Purchaser of any obligation
of the Seller, the Servicer or any other Person in connection with the Purchased
Receivables or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including, without
limitation, any obligation to any Obligors or insurers, or in connection with
the Intercompany Purchase Agreement.
11.12 Leases; Grant of Security Interest. (a) The Seller agrees to perform and
to cause each Affiliate Obligor to perform all its respective obligations under
(other than the payment by such Affiliate Obligor of the rent payable under such
Lease), and not to terminate or to permit (voluntarily or involuntarily, whether
during a bankruptcy case involving the Seller or such Affiliate Obligor or
otherwise) the termination of, any Applicable Lease or any lease related to a
Lease Receivable (other than in connection with substitutions of Lease
Receivables in accordance with subsection 2.13(e)) or the lease by an Obligor on
an ExIm Bank Receivable (such leases, collectively, the "Security Interest
Leases") sold or substituted hereunder; provided that (i) if a Substituted Lease
Receivable which is substituted on any day other than a Settlement Date in
accordance with subsection 2.13(e) has a Purchase Price less than the related
Replaced Lease Receivable, the Seller agrees to deposit into the Concentration
Account on the Settlement Date following such date of substitution (or, if a
Remittance Event has occurred, within two Business Days after such substitution)
the difference between the Outstanding Balance of such Replaced Lease Receivable
and the Purchase Price of such Substituted Lease Receivable and (ii) if such
Security Interest Lease has been declared to be in default, the Seller may
terminate and may permit any Affiliate Obligor to terminate, such Security
Interest Lease if the Seller pays on the date of termination to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Purchasers an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of rent payable for the remaining term under such Lease
(including any interest thereon on amounts past due), up to the then Outstanding
121
Balance of the related Receivable together with interest on such Outstanding
Balance at the rate set forth in such Lease Receivable or Applicable Lease
related to such Affiliate Receivable for the period from the last date of
payment on such Receivable (all of the foregoing, including any damages
resulting from a breach of the foregoing, collectively, the "Lease
Obligations"). As collateral security for (i) the prompt and complete payment
and performance of the Lease Obligations and (ii) the agreement of the Seller
not to reject or permit an Affiliate Obligor to reject pursuant to 11 U.S.C.
ss.365 any Lease after the occurrence of a bankruptcy case involving the Seller
or such Affiliate Obligor (and all other Obligations under this Agreement) the
Seller does hereby grant, bargain, sell, assign, transfer, convey, mortgage,
pledge, grant a security interest in and confirm unto the Administrative Agent
for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers the following:
(A) each Financed Aircraft subject to a Security Interest
Lease, the related Receivable of which is sold or substituted hereunder
on the Closing Date or on any Settlement Date; and
(B) all proceeds thereof (clauses A and B, collectively, the
"Lease Collateral").
(b) In connection with the foregoing grant, the Administrative
Agent and each Purchaser shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured
party and a creditor under the UCC and all other applicable laws in each
relevant jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger Amortization Event, the
Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand,
presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice
required by law referred to below) to or upon the Seller or any other Person
(all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby
waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and
realize upon the Lease Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith
sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of
and deliver the Lease Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of
the foregoing), in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at
any exchange, broker's board or office of the Administrative Agent or any
Purchaser or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable
and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future
delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any
Purchaser shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the
extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the
whole or any part of the Lease Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity
of redemption in the Seller, which right or equity is hereby waived or released.
The Seller further agrees, at the Administrative Agent's request, to assemble
the Lease Collateral, to the extent available to the Seller under applicable
law, and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the
Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Seller's premises
or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such
collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after
deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or
incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Lease Collateral or in any
way relating to the Lease Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent
and the Purchasers hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the
Lease Obligations, in such order as the Administrative Agent in its reasonable
discretion may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by
122
the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law,
including, without limitation, Section 9-504(1)(c) of the UCC in the relevant
jurisdiction, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to
the Seller. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Seller waives all
claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or
any Purchaser arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If
any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Lease Collateral shall be
required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at
least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. The Seller shall remain
liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of
the Lease Collateral are insufficient to pay the Lease Obligations and the fees
and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any
Purchaser to collect such deficiency. The Seller authorizes the Administrative
Agent and the Purchasers, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in
connection with the sale provided for in this subsection 11.12(b), any
endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with
respect to the Lease Collateral.
(c) Each Administrative Agent's sole duty with respect to the
custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Lease Collateral in its
possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC in the relevant jurisdiction or
otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as such Administrative
Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Managing
Facility Agent, either Administrative Agent any Co-Administrative Agent or any
Purchaser nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents
shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part
of the Lease Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Lease Collateral upon the request
of the Seller or otherwise.
11.13 Power of Attorney. (a) The Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints the Managing Facility Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full
power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Seller and in the
name of the Seller or in its own name, from time to time after the occurrence

Facility Agent, at its discretion, may instruct the Administrative Agent to
sell, without any further consent or approval of any of the Purchasers, any
Delinquent Receivable for an amount not less than the Outstanding Balance of
such Delinquent Receivable on the last day of the Settlement Period preceding
such Settlement Date; provided that the Seller or, if the Seller elects not to
repurchase such Delinquent Receivable, RAC, shall have a right of first refusal
to repurchase such Delinquent Receivable on such Settlement Date by depositing
into the Concentration Account cash in an amount equal to the Outstanding
Balance of such Delinquent Receivable. Any amounts received by the
Administrative Agent, or deposited into the Concentration Account, in respect of
Delinquent Receivables sold pursuant to this Subsection 11.25 shall be applied
