5. Addition and Removal of Senior Mortgaged Aircraft from Collateral.

(a) Without limiting Section 4.1(d), (e), (h), or (i) of the Security Agreement, the parties agree that, upon written notice by Debtor to Agent, Schedule 1 will be supplemented, amended or replaced so that it accurately represents the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft, the subject of the security interests granted hereunder, as may be necessary to permit (i) any Disposition permitted under Section 6.06 of the Credit Agreement other than a Disposition to an Affiliate; provided that no Default or Event of Default (other than a Specified Default (as defined in the Third Amendment) during the Forbearance Period (as defined in the Third Amendment)) under the Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) Debtor to cause any aircraft and/or aircraft engines to become Senior Mortgaged Aircraft subject to this Agreement as required by, and in accordance with, Section 4.1(h)(A) of the Security Agreement. In the case of any Disposition permitted by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, Agent agrees to discharge its International Interest, and any interest related thereto, with the International Registry in the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft that is the subject of such Disposition and to execute a release to be filed with the FAA for recordation which releases Agent’s right, title and interest in and to such Senior Mortgaged Aircraft no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date (as defined below) of such Disposition; provided that (i) Agent shall have received written notice (a “Disposition Notice”) from the Debtor no later than ten (10), and no earlier than twenty (20), Business Days in advance of the proposed date on which such Disposition will be consummated (the “Scheduled Closing Date”), (ii) the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft that is the subject of such Disposition is a newly manufactured aircraft, (iii) Debtor shall have received, no later than five (5) business days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, a deposit in cash an amount of not less than 50% of the agreed purchase price of the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft that is the subject of such Disposition, (iv) such Disposition is made in the ordinary course of Debtor’s business, on arm’s length terms and to a purchaser that is not an Affiliate of debtor and (v) such Disposition Notice shall contain a certification of Debtor that such Disposition is expected to be consummated on the Scheduled Closing Date and that such each condition set forth in the foregoing clauses (ii) through (iv) has been satisfied, or shall be satisfied, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date. If any such Disposition shall fail to be consummated within five (5) Business Days of the Scheduled Closing Date (or such longer period as Agent may agree), the parties agree that (x) Schedule 1 will, as soon as practicable and

in any event within one (1) Business Day, be supplemented, amended or replaced to cause the aircraft that was the subject of such proposed Disposition to become a Senior Mortgaged Aircraft subject hereto and (y) the International Interest in favor of Agent shall promptly be re-registered with the International Registry. In the case of any other Disposition permitted by clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 5(a), Agent agrees to promptly discharge its International Interest, and any interest related thereto, with the International Registry in the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft that is the subject of such Disposition and to execute a release to be filed with the FAA for recordation which releases Agent’s right, title and interest in and to such Senior Mortgaged Aircraft.

Debtor irrevocably authorizes Agent and appoints Agent as its attorney to execute on behalf of Debtor any amendment to Schedule 1 hereto contemplated under Section 5(a). All authorized acts of said attorney are hereby ratified and approved by Debtor. The powers conferred on Agent shall not impose any duty upon Agent or any Senior Tranche Secured Party to exercise any such powers.

6. Further Assurances. Debtor will promptly, upon Agent’s written request and at Debtor’s sole cost and expense, execute, or otherwise authenticate, any document, record or instrument necessary or reasonably advisable for filing, recording, protecting or perfecting the interest of Agent in the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft, and to establish and protect Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft. In addition, Debtor hereby expressly authorizes each of Agent, Agent’s designated FAA escrow agent (which may be FAA counsel) and Debtor’s “professional user entity” to file with the FAA or register with the International Registry (i) an Aircraft ▇▇▇▇ of Sale (FAA AC Form 8050-2), (ii) an Aircraft Registration Application (FAA AC Form 8050-1), (iii) an FAA Entry Point Filing Form, International Registry (FAA AC Form 8050-135), (iv) any other documents or registrations evidencing Debtor’s ownership of the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft (including a “contract of sale,” as defined by the Cape Town Convention (as applicable)), (v) the International Interest, and (vi) any other interests created by this Agreement in favor of Agent, in each case describing the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft and containing any other information required by or reasonably advisable under the Transportation Code, the Cape Town Convention and any other applicable law, treaty or regulation. At the request of Agent following any expiration or termination of this Agreement, Debtor shall, at Debtor’s sole cost and expense, execute and deliver to Agent, for filing with the FAA and/or registration with the International Registry, as applicable, such documents as Agent shall require to evidence and confirm the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the release of the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft from the terms and conditions hereof, and if Debtor fails for any reason to execute and deliver such documents to Agent, Debtor hereby irrevocably consents to and authorizes Agent to sign Debtor’s name to such documents and to file such documents with the FAA and/or to register (and/or instruct Debtor’s “professional user entity” to register) discharges of interests relating to such documents with the International Registry, as applicable. Other than as expressly provided herein, Debtor shall not file any filings with the FAA (including any corrective, amendment or termination filings) relating to the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft or register any related interests with the International Registry created hereby, without Agent’s prior written consent.

7. Use, Operation, Maintenance, Repair, Storage and Registration. Debtor shall use, operate, maintain, store and repair the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft and retain actual and operational control and possession thereof in compliance with the following provisions:

(a) Debtor shall use, operate, maintain and store the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft, and every part thereof, properly, carefully and in material compliance with all applicable statutes, ordinances and regulations of all jurisdictions in which the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft is operated or used, as well as all applicable insurance policies, manufacturer’s recommendations and operating and maintenance manuals.

8. Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Debtor hereby agrees to indemnify Agent, and its respective successors, assigns, agents and employees (each an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities, and related expenses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent, or its respective successors, assigns, agents and employees, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or the ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition of any Senior Mortgaged Aircraft in accordance with this Agreement, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(b) Debtor shall at all times bear all risk of loss, damage, destruction or confiscation of or to the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft. Debtor shall secure and maintain in effect, at its own expense and at all times, insurance with financially sound and reputable insurance companies in such amounts and against such risks, as are customarily maintained by similarly situated companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations (after giving effect to any self-insurance reasonable and customary for similarly situated companies).

Until the exercise of Agent’s power of sale or foreclosure upon any Senior Mortgaged Aircraft pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement, Debtor may possess the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft and use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Loan Documents. Agent or its agents may examine and inspect the Senior Mortgaged Aircraft, wherever located, at any reasonable time upon prior written notice to Debtor, on land and in flight.

10. Default. Debtor shall be in default under this Agreement upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the following:

(a) an Event of Default (other than a Specified Default (as defined in the Third Amendment) during the Forbearance Period (as defined in the Third Amendment)); or

(b) failure by Debtor to maintain at all times insurance coverage as required by Section 8(b) of this Agreement. In case Agent is permitted to and changes the insurance requirements, it will give written notice to Debtor of the new requirements and will grant Debtor 30 days after written notice, to comply with those requirements.

(iii)

procure the deregistration of the registration of the aircraft and export of the aircraft to a jurisdiction of Agent’s choice pursuant to the IDERA and as authorized by the Cape Town Convention; and

(iv)

(b) Debtor acknowledges and agrees that the compliance by the Agent, on behalf of the Senior Tranche Secured Parties, with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Senior Tranche Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Senior Tranche Collateral.

(c) The Agent shall have the right upon any public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Agent and the Senior Tranche Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Senior Tranche Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption in favor of Debtor, which equity redemption Debtor hereby expressly releases.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Agent nor the Senior Tranche Secured Parties shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, Debtor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Senior Tranche Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Senior Tranche Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Senior Tranche Collateral or any guarantee of the Senior Tranche Obligations or to resort to the Senior Tranche Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Senior Tranche Collateral.

(i)

upon reasonable advance notice, assemble and make available to the Agent the Senior Tranche Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places reasonably specified by the Agent, whether at Debtor’s premises or elsewhere; and

(ii)

permit the Agent, by the Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Senior Tranche Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Senior Tranche Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Senior Tranche Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Senior Tranche Collateral, without any obligation to pay Debtor for such use and occupancy.

Upon any sale of Senior Tranche Collateral by the Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Senior Tranche Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, prior to exercising any of its remedies set forth in this Section 11 with respect to the Senior Tranche Collateral, Agent shall have exercised its remedies against the Specified Collection Account (as defined in the Security Agreement) and applied the full amount of proceeds therefrom to satisfy the Senior Tranche Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 2.16(a) of the Credit Agreement.

12. Waivers. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Debtor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Mortgaged Collateral.

(h) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Senior Tranche Secured Obligations have been paid in full.
