LOAN AGREEMENT [N344AT]

THIS LOAN AGREEMENT [N344AT] (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of August 31, 2006 among (a) AIRTRAN AIRWAYS, INC. (“Borrower”), a Delaware corporation, (b) THE PARTIES IDENTIFIED IN SCHEDULE 1 HERETO AS LENDERS (the “Lenders”) and (c) THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND PLC NEW YORK BRANCH, as agent for the Lenders (the “Security Agent”).

RECITALS

A. Borrower and Airframe Manufacturer have entered into the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Airframe Manufacturer agreed to manufacture and sell to Borrower, and Borrower agreed to purchase and take delivery of, among other things, one (1) Boeing model 737-7BD aircraft bearing manufacturer’s serial number 33939 and equipped with two (2) CFM International model CFM56-7B20 engines (the “Aircraft”).

B. To enable Borrower to purchase and take delivery of the Aircraft on the Delivery Date, Borrower desires to borrow from Lenders, and Lenders desire to lend to Borrower, a portion of the purchase price of the Aircraft.

C. The parties to this Agreement wish to set forth in this Agreement the terms and conditions upon and subject to which the foregoing transactions shall be effected.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION

The terms defined in Annex A, when capitalized as in Annex A, have the same meanings when used in this Agreement. Annex A also contains rules of usage that control construction in this Agreement.

2. SECURED LOANS; CLOSING

2.1 Making of Loans; Issuance of Equipment Notes.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Delivery Date (the “Closing Date”):

(a) each Lender agrees to make a secured loan to Borrower in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment; and

(b) pursuant to Article 2 of the Mortgage, Borrower shall issue an Equipment Note to each Lender making such loan, dated the Closing Date, for an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of the secured loan made by such Lender.

If any Lender shall default in its obligation to make the amount of its Commitment available pursuant to this Article 2, except as provided below in this Section 2.1 with respect to RBS, no other Lender shall have an obligation to increase the amount of its Commitment and,

notwithstanding the further provisions of this paragraph, the obligations of the non-defaulting Lenders shall remain subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. If a Lender to whom RBS has transferred its Commitment in whole or in part pursuant to Section 7.1 without the consent of Borrower fails to perform its obligation to make a secured loan on the Closing Date, RBS shall be obligated to make an additional secured loan on the Closing Date in an amount equal to the amount of the secured loan that such Lender was so obligated to, but did not, make. In the event that the preceding sentence is applicable and RBS is obligated to make an additional secured loan, the Commitment of RBS shall be increased by the amount of such additional secured loan, and the Commitment of the affected Lender shall be reduced by an equivalent amount, effective on the Closing Date. In the circumstances of the second preceding sentence, such Lender shall be liable to RBS (but not the Borrower) for any damages attributable to its failure to make the secured loan in question which was made, instead, by RBS.

2.2 Procedure for Funding of Secured Loans.

(a) Notice of Scheduled Delivery Date. Borrower agrees to give each Lender written notice or telephonic notice (to be confirmed promptly in writing) of the date the Aircraft is scheduled to be delivered (the “Scheduled Delivery Date”) so that such notice is received by each Lender not later than 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the tenth (10th) day prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date. Borrower undertakes to promptly notify each Lender of any amendment or change in the Scheduled Delivery Date.

(b) Drawdown Notice. No later than 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the fourth (4th) Business Day prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date, Borrower shall deliver to Security Agent on behalf of each Lender the Drawdown Notice, receipt of which shall, subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, oblige Borrower to borrow an amount equal to the aggregate Commitment (or such lesser amount specified in such Drawdown Notice) on the date stated and on the terms herein contained.

(c) Amortization Schedule. No later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date, Security Agent shall deliver the amortization schedule for the Aircraft to Borrower and Borrower shall no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day deliver written confirmation of such amortization schedule to Security Agent. In the event a Postponement Notice is delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(e), Security Agent shall deliver to Borrower by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the date to which the Scheduled Delivery Date is so postponed or as promptly as practicable thereafter, an amortization schedule reflecting the postponed Scheduled Delivery Date for the Aircraft and Borrower shall deliver by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day or as promptly as practicable thereafter, written confirmation of such schedule to Security Agent.

(d) Prospective International Interest. Prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date, a Prospective International Interest in the Airframe and Engines constituted by the Mortgage shall have been duly registered on the International Registry.

(e) Disbursement of Funds. Each Lender agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make its Commitment available for disbursement to or

on behalf of Borrower, in each case in immediately available funds by 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Scheduled Delivery Date in the amount set out in the Drawdown Notice. In order to facilitate the timely closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, Borrower, by delivery of the Drawdown Notice to Security Agent, instructs, subject to its rights to postpone under Section 2.2(e) below, the Lenders to wire transfer (for receipt by no later than 12:00 Noon New York City time) on the Scheduled Delivery Date its Commitment by the wiring of immediately available funds to the account of Security Agent specified in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Account”). The funds so paid by each Lender (the “Deposit”) into the Account are to be held by Security Agent for the account of such Lender. Upon the fulfillment or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 3 hereof, such Lender shall instruct Security Agent to disburse the Deposit for application of its Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Postponement Notice postponing the Scheduled Delivery Date shall have been received by Security Agent by 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the postponed Scheduled Delivery Date and if a Lender has not already wired its Commitment to the Account, (i) such Lender shall not make its Commitment available for disbursement on the postponed Scheduled Delivery Date and (ii) each such Lender shall cancel, terminate or otherwise unwind its funding arrangements made in the London interbank market to fund its Commitment on the Scheduled Delivery Date, subject, however, to such Lender’s continuing commitment to fund as provided herein.

(f) Postponement of Scheduled Delivery Date.

(1) Borrower may change or postpone (indefinitely, or to a specified date) the Scheduled Delivery Date by telephonic notice (to be confirmed promptly in writing) to Security Agent, provided such notice (specifying the new Delivery Date, if any) is received by Security Agent not later than 3:30 p.m. on such Scheduled Delivery Date being postponed (the “Postponement Notice”). Such revised Scheduled Delivery Date shall be deemed the “Scheduled Delivery Date” for all purposes of the Operative Agreements.

(2) If the Scheduled Delivery Date is postponed and the Deposit has been paid by the Lenders into the Account, then the Deposit will, pending any return contemplated by Section 2.2(e)(4) below, be invested, together with earnings thereon, and reinvested by Security Agent at the sole direction, for the account, and at the risk of Borrower in an overnight investment selected by Borrower and acceptable to Security Agent (acting reasonably and in good faith). Upon Borrower’s oral (to be confirmed in writing) instructions, earnings on any such investments shall be applied to Borrower’s payment obligations to each Lender under Section 2.2(e)(3) to the extent of such earnings.

(3) If the Scheduled Delivery Date is postponed and the Deposit has been paid by the Lenders into the Account, then Borrower shall pay interest hereunder to each Lender on the amount of its Deposit for the period from and including the original Scheduled Delivery Date to but excluding the earlier of (i) the actual Delivery Date or (ii) the date of return of the Deposit to such Lender pursuant to clause (4) below if such amounts are received by such Lender before

12:00 Noon, New York City time, on such date (and if such amounts are received by such Lender after 12:00 Noon, New York City time, the next succeeding Business Day). For each Lender, such interest shall accrue on the amount of such Lender’s Deposit at the applicable Debt Rate. Interest on the Deposit accrued pursuant to the preceding sentence shall (i) if accrued to the Delivery Date, be paid on the first Payment Date following such date and (ii) if accrued to the date of return of the Deposit, be paid to each Lender on such date.

(4) If for any reason, other than the failure of any Lender to comply with the terms hereof, the Scheduled Delivery Date is postponed beyond the earliest of (x) three (3) Business Days after the Scheduled Delivery Date, (y) the Commitment Termination Date or (z) such earlier date as Borrower shall specify (the “Cutoff Date”), then each such Lender shall promptly cancel, terminate or otherwise unwind its funding arrangements made in the London interbank market or otherwise (including any Swap Transaction) to fund its Commitment, and such Lender shall notify Security Agent thereof, and Security Agent shall return its Deposit, subject, however, to such Lender’s continuing commitment to fund at a later Closing Date as provided herein.

(5) In the event of the occurrence of the events described in Section 2.2(d)(ii) or clause (4) above, Borrower agrees to pay each Lender promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days of the relevant Cutoff Date) (i) as compensation for the cancellation or termination of its Commitment (in addition to interest owing under clause (3) above, if any), an amount of damages equal to any loss incurred in connection with the unwinding or liquidating of any deposits or funding or financing arrangement with its funding source and, if applicable, any Swap Break Amount, and (ii) without duplication of the amounts covered by the preceding clause (i) or to be paid pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable legal costs and expenses) incurred by such Lender in respect of such cancellation or termination to the extent described in the definition of Transaction Expenses.

2.3 Terms of Repayment.

(1) Borrower shall make payments to Security Agent on each Equipment Note of principal scheduled to be paid thereon on such date in accordance with the amortization schedule attached thereto and accrued interest due and payable on such Equipment Note on such date. The amortization schedules in the aggregate for all Equipment Notes shall be calculated as follows: using the Debt Rate (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual number of days elapsed or if the Fixed Rate Option has been elected under Section 4.5, on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve 30-day months) for the Equipment Notes (being, if the Fixed Rate Option has been elected, the Fixed Rate for the Equipment Notes, otherwise, the initial Debt Rate for the Equipment Notes), mortgage-style (level pay) payments payable on each Payment Date from the Delivery Date through the Maturity Date, payments on

each Payment Date during such period sufficient to amortize the Equipment Notes to an aggregate outstanding principal balance balloon payment due on the Maturity Date, after giving effect to the installment of principal due on such date, of Five Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$5,900,000), or if Borrower shall have delivered a No-Winglet Notice pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof, of Five Million Eight Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars (US$5,840,000). In respect of the amortization schedule for any particular Equipment Note, the payments due on any Payment Date set forth on such amortization schedule shall be pro rated based on the ratio by which the Original Amount of such Equipment Note bears to the aggregate Original Amount of all of the Equipment Notes.

(2) Interest on each Equipment Note will accrue at the Debt Rate for such Equipment Note (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual number of days elapsed or if the Fixed Rate Option has been elected under Section 4.5, on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve 30-day months) and will be payable on each Payment Date or other date for the payment of interest provided herein or in such Equipment Note. The interest payable on each Payment Date or other date, as aforesaid, for any Equipment Note shall include interest accrued to such Payment Date or other date, as aforesaid.

(3) The Debt Rate for each Interest Period shall be established by Security Agent in accordance with relevant provisions of this Agreement. Security Agent shall give prompt notice to Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable Debt Rate determined by Security Agent from time to time in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof and the rate, if any, furnished by each Reference Bank and used by Security Agent for the purpose of determining the LIBOR Rate. Each determination by Security Agent of a Debt Rate pursuant hereto shall be presumed correct, absent manifest error.

(4) Each payment received by Security Agent in respect of an Equipment Note shall be applied: first, to pay amounts due hereunder or under such Equipment Note other than as specified in the following clauses, second, to pay accrued interest and any Breakage Amount on such Equipment Note (as well as any interest on any overdue amount) to the date of such payment, third, to pay the principal of such Equipment Note then due, and fourth, the balance, if any, remaining thereafter, to pay installments of the principal of such Equipment Note remaining unpaid in the inverse order of its maturity.

(5) Amounts repaid or prepaid on the Equipment Notes may not be reborrowed.

2.4 Closing.

(a) Location. The closing (the “Closing”) of the Transactions shall take place on the Closing Date at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

(b) Funds. Except as provided above, all payments (including prepayments) by Borrower pursuant to this Article 2 and on any Equipment Note whether on account of principal, interest, Breakage Amount, fees or otherwise shall be made in immediately available funds without set-off, counterclaim or defense to the account of Security Agent as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto.

(c) Business Days. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding sentence, interest thereon shall be payable at the Debt Rate during such extension.

2.5 Commitment Termination.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Loan Agreement to the contrary, in the event the delivery of the Aircraft is postponed to a date that is three (3) months beyond the last day of the Scheduled Delivery Month but such date is prior to the Commitment Termination Date, Security Agent, acting at the written direction of all (and not less than all) of the Lenders committed to financing the acquisition of the Aircraft by Borrower, may terminate the Commitment under this Agreement upon written notice to Borrower within thirty (30) days of Security Agent’s receipt of written notice from Borrower informing Security Agent of such postponement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the delivery of the Aircraft has been cancelled, Borrower may terminate the Commitment under this Loan Agreement, in whole, but not in part, upon written notice to Security Agent but Borrower may not otherwise reduce or terminate the Commitments under this Loan Agreement (except as provided in Section 2.6 hereof). If an Event of Default as defined in the form of Mortgage attached hereto as Exhibit A (determined without regard to Section 7.5 hereof) shall have occurred and be continuing, Security Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority in Interest of the Lenders) may, by written notice to the Borrower, cancel the Commitment(s), and upon such notice, such Commitment(s) shall be cancelled and of no further effect. If an Event of Default under Sections 5.1(e), (f) or (g) under the form of Mortgage, as aforesaid, shall have occurred and be continuing, the Commitment(s) shall automatically, without any action or notice, be cancelled and of no further effect. The day on which the Commitment(s) under this Agreement is terminated by Security Agent or Borrower pursuant to the foregoing shall for purposes of this Agreement be deemed a “Termination Date”.

2.6 No Winglet Notice.

At any time (but in no event later than four (4) Business Days prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date) Borrower may deliver written notice to Security Agent of Borrower’s intent not to finance the acquisition of winglets for installation on the Aircraft (the “No Winglet Notice”), in which case the Commitment shall be adjusted as provided in Schedule 2 hereof and the Commitment Fee from and after the date on which Security Agent receives such notice shall be calculated based on the adjusted Commitment.

2.7 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(1) Each borrowing by Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by Borrower on account of any Commitment Fee and, except as provided in Section 2.5, any reduction of the Commitment of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment of the Lenders.

(2) Each payment (including each prepayment) by Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Equipment Notes shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Equipment Notes then held by the Lenders (except as otherwise provided in the Mortgage).

2.8 Use of Proceeds.

Borrower agrees that it shall use the proceeds of each secured loan described in Section 2.1(a) to pay all or a portion of the amount, after giving effect to the return of any advance payments, of the remaining balance of the purchase price of the Aircraft to the Airframe Manufacturer.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.4(e) below, Borrower shall promptly pay directly to each Lender such amounts as are reasonably necessary to compensate such Lender for any increase in costs which are attributable to such Lender’s making, maintaining or continuing of its Commitment or the loans evidenced by its Equipment Notes or funding arrangements utilized in connection with such loans (including any hedging arrangement relating to any Fixed Rate), or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of its Commitment or under the Equipment Notes, such loans or such arrangements (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), applicable to the period commencing thirty (30) days prior to Lender’s notification thereof pursuant to Section 4.4(c) and resulting from the adoption of or any change after the date hereof in Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law but, if not having the force of Law, is generally applied by Lender with respect to similar credits under similar circumstances) from any central bank or other Governmental Entity made subsequent to the date hereof that:

(1) shall impose any tax that is the functional equivalent of any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements of the sort covered by clause (2) below; or

(2) shall impose or modify any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender; or

(3) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Equipment Notes (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or any such obligation.

(b) Without duplication of any amounts payable by Borrower under Section 4.4(a), if any Lender shall have determined, acting reasonably and in good faith, that after the date hereof, the adoption of or any change in any Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law but, if not having the force of law, is generally applied by such Lender with respect to similar credits under similar circumstances) from any Governmental Entity made subsequent to the date hereof, shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such

Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material acting reasonably and in good faith, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Security Agent) of a written request therefor, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction attributable to the period commencing thirty (30) days prior to Lender’s notification thereof pursuant to Section 4.4(c).

(c) Each Lender will furnish to Borrower (with a copy to Security Agent) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth in reasonable detail (i) the events giving rise to the request by such Lender for compensation under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 4.4, (ii) the basis for determining such compensation and (iii) the amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 4.4, together with a statement that the determinations made in respect of the such compensation comply with the provisions of this Section 4.4 and that none of the exceptions set forth in Section 4.4(d) apply with respect to such compensation. Determinations set forth in such Officer’s Certificate shall be presumed correct, absent manifest error.

(d) Borrower shall not be required to make payments under this Section 4.4 to any Lender if (i) a claim hereunder arises through circumstances peculiar to such Lender and which do not affect commercial banks in the same jurisdiction generally, or (ii) the claim arises out of a relocation by such Lender of its lending office (except any such relocation effected pursuant to Section 4.4(e)), or (iii) if a comparably situated borrower is being treated more favorably by such Lender (as reasonably determined by such Lender) in respect of a claim made hereunder.

(e) Each Lender will, if requested by Borrower, to the extent not inconsistent with any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions and subject to the overall policy considerations of such Lender, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for the Equipment Notes of such Lender affected by such event or, failing that, to take other reasonable measures requested by Borrower (including transferring such Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 7.1(d) hereof) to mitigate the amount of payment of Additional Costs or other amounts under this Section 4.4, if as a result thereof the additional amounts that would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this Section 4.4 would be reduced or eliminated and if the making, funding or maintaining of its interest in the Equipment Notes through such other lending office or the taking of such other reasonable measures would not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, result in any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage (other than de minimis disadvantages) or adverse tax consequences to such Lender (other than adverse tax consequences for which Borrower agrees to indemnify such Lender); provided, that such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other lending office pursuant to this Section 4.4 unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental out-of-pocket expenses, if any, reasonably incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other lending office as described above; provided, further, that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate another lending office that does not maintain loans comparable to the loan evidenced by such Lender’s Equipment Note. An Officer’s Certificate as to the

amount of any such expenses (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount and the calculation thereof) submitted by such Lender to Borrower shall be presumed correct, absent manifest error. If after using commercially reasonably efforts as aforesaid such Lender is not able to mitigate the amount of or the need for the Additional Costs to the reasonable satisfaction of Borrower within thirty (30) days of such Lender’s notice described in Section 4.4(c) hereof, Borrower may prepay in accordance with Section 2.10 of the Mortgage the unpaid Original Amount of the affected Equipment Notes plus interest accrued thereon. Nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to this Section 4.4.

4.5 Fixed Rate Option.

(a) At Borrower’s written request, which shall be made in the Drawdown Notice in accordance with Article 2 hereof (the “Fixed Rate Option”), each Lender agrees that the Equipment Notes shall bear interest at a Fixed Rate. If Borrower exercises the Fixed Rate Option, the aggregate Commitment shall be reduced to the amount specified in Section 2 of Schedule 2 of this Agreement. If such request is so made by Borrower, Borrower shall conduct a swap auction in which each Lender and Acceptable Potential Swap Counterparty selected by Borrower shall be invited to submit its fixed-rate quote to act as Swap Counterparty in the Swap Transaction with each Lender. At Borrower’s option, Borrower shall have the right to conduct a second swap auction on the second Business Day before the scheduled Closing Date in which each Lender and Acceptable Potential Swap Counterparty selected by Borrower shall be invited to submit its fixed-rate quote to act as Swap Counterparty in the Swap Transaction. Three basis points shall be added to the fixed rate quote submitted by each Acceptable Potential Swap Counterparty that is not a Lender (such quote as so adjusted, the “Adjusted Fixed Rate Quote”). Subject to the next succeeding sentence, the institution submitting the lowest fixed-rate quote (as adjusted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) in such swap auction (or, if a second swap auction is held, such second swap auction) shall be the Swap Counterparty, and

(1) if such institution is a Lender, its quote in such swap auction (or, if a second swap auction is held, such second swap auction) shall be the Debt Rate for the Equipment Notes, or

(2) if such institution is not a Lender, its Adjusted Fixed Rate Quote in such swap auction (or, if a second swap auction is held, such second swap auction) shall be the Debt Rate for the Equipment Notes.

(b) If a Lender submits a fixed-rate quote equal to the lowest Adjusted Fixed Rate Quote submitted by a non-Lender and no other Lender has submitted a lower fixed-rate quote, then such Lender shall be the Swap Counterparty; provided, if there shall be two or more such Lenders, each such Lender shall be a Swap Counterparty for a pro rata portion of the Swap Transaction with each Lender. Security Agent and Borrower shall promptly notify the Lenders of the Debt Rate determined in accordance with the above procedures and the identity of the “winning” Swap Counterparty and at the Closing Date, each Lender shall enter into a Swap Transaction with each such Swap Counterparty.

(c) Each Lender agrees that (A) on the date of any redemption or prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Equipment Notes for any reason (including any redemption of the Equipment Notes effected pursuant to Sections 2.9 and 2.10 of the Mortgage) each such Lender will, and (B) upon or at any time following the acceleration of the Equipment Notes upon or following the occurrence of an Event of Default, such Lender may ask the Swap Counterparty to settle-out the Swap Transaction, and in furtherance thereof will request the Swap Counterparty to notify Borrower and such Lender by 1:00 p.m., New York time, on such date (the “Settlement Date”) of the Swap Break Amount; provided, that if the Obligations are paid in full and the Lien of the Mortgage is discharged, then such Lender will promptly settle-out the Swap Transaction.

(d) Subject to due compliance with and after payment in full of all amounts then due and owing to all Lenders under the Equipment Notes and if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Lender shall pay over to Borrower any Swap Breakage Gain that it receives from the Swap Counterparty as a result of a payment contemplated by Section 4.5(c), promptly after such Lender receives such payment, in immediately available funds, to such account as Borrower directs; provided, if a Default or Event of Default is then in existence, such payment shall be made to Security Agent as security for Borrower’s obligations under the Operative Agreements, and at such time as such Default or Event of Default no longer exists, such payment and any gain realized as a result of investments required to be made pursuant to Article 6 of the Mortgage shall be (to the extent not applied as provided in the Mortgage) paid over to Borrower.

(e) If a Lender (or any of its Affiliates) is the “winning” Swap Counterparty with respect to such Lender’s Equipment Notes, then:

(1) such Lender shall be deemed to have entered into a Swap Transaction with itself (or its Affiliate) satisfying in each case the terms and conditions of Section 4.5(a); and

(2) such Lender (in its capacity as Swap Counterparty) agrees, or will cause its Affiliate to agree, to the swap settlement and unwind procedures contained in Section 4.5(c), and covenants to pay any Swap Breakage Gain promptly as if it were a third party Swap Counterparty (and in its capacity as a Lender to apply such amounts as provided in the Operative Agreements) and to comply with all of the terms and conditions thereof applicable to the Swap Counterparty.

4.6 Past Due Interest.

Any amounts not paid under the Operative Agreements by Borrower when due shall bear interest at the Past-Due Rate (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual number of days elapsed or if the Fixed Rate Option has been elected under Section 4.5, on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve 30-day months), and shall be payable on demand.

4.7 Illegality.

In the event that at any time any Lender shall determine that due to a change of Law it shall become unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain or fund all or a portion of the Equipment Notes it holds in the manner contemplated by the Operative Agreements, then such Lender shall give prompt notice thereof to Borrower. Thereafter, the affected Lender agrees that it will, if requested by Borrower, to the extent not inconsistent with any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions and subject to the overall policy considerations of such Lender, use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid such illegality by designating a different lending office for the affected Equipment Notes of such Lender affected by such illegality or, failing that, shall take other reasonable measures requested by Borrower (including transferring such Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 7.1(d) hereof) to avoid such illegality and if the making, funding and maintaining of its interest in the affected Equipment Notes through such other lending office or the taking of such other reasonable measures would not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, result in any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage (other than a de minimis disadvantage) or adverse tax consequences to such Lender (other than adverse tax consequences for which Borrower agrees to indemnify such Lender); provided, that such Lender shall not be obligated to utilize such other lending office pursuant to this Section 4.7 unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental out-of-pocket expenses, if any, reasonably incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other lending office as described above; provided, further that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate another lending office that does not maintain loans comparable to the loan evidenced by such Lender’s Equipment Note. If after using commercially reasonable efforts as aforesaid such Lender is not able to avoid such illegality within thirty (30) days after such Lender’s notice thereof to Borrower, the affected Equipment Notes may be prepaid by Borrower in accordance with Section 2.10 of the Mortgage.

4.8 Clear Market.

Borrower agrees that no other long-term debt financing for aircraft shall be launched, mandated, arranged, syndicated or privately placed by or on behalf of Borrower in the debt or capital markets until October 19, 2006 with respect to aircraft scheduled to be delivered to Borrower under the Purchase Agreement from and after January 1, 2008.

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if Holdings is subject to, and so long as Holdings is complying with the reporting requirements under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the timely delivery (or public posting on the website of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of a copy of Holdings’ report on Form 10-K (or any successor form) with respect to the relevant year shall satisfy the requirements of clause (x) and the timely delivery (or public posting on the SEC’s website) a copy of Holdings’ report on Form 10Q (or any successor form) for the relevant quarter shall satisfy the requirements of clause (y); and

(2) Without limiting Security Agent’s inspection rights in the Mortgage, promptly upon the reasonable request of Security Agent, (x) such additional financial statements, financial information and other information regarding Borrower or Holdings that has been publicly disclosed and which Borrower or Holdings releases or otherwise makes available to lessors and/or creditors generally and (y) (i) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such other information regarding the Collateral which Borrower generally releases or otherwise makes available to lessors and/or creditors regarding similar property and (ii) if an Event of Default is in existence, other information (not subject to a confidentiality agreement that prohibits disclosure to the Lenders) regarding the Collateral.

6.2 Merger of Borrower.

(a) In General. Borrower shall not convey all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions to, or consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person under circumstances in which Borrower is not the surviving corporation, unless:

(1) after giving effect to such conveyance, consolidation or merger, such Person is organized, existing, and in good standing under the Laws of the United States, any state of the United States, or the District of Columbia, and, upon consummation of such transaction, such Person will be a U.S. Air Carrier with respect to which, absent a change in law or court interpretation, Security Agent will be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110;

(2) such Person executes and delivers to Security Agent a duly authorized, legal, valid and binding agreement, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Security Agent, containing an effective assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant, agreement, and condition in the Operative Agreements to be performed or observed by Borrower, together with customary officer’s certificates and legal opinions in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Security Agent;

(3) such Person, immediately after giving effect to such conveyance, consolidation or merger, shall have a tangible net worth of not less than the lesser of (aa) Borrower’s tangible net worth (determined in each case in accordance with GAAP) as of the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2006 or (bb) Borrower’s tangible net worth (determined in each case in accordance with GAAP) immediately prior to such conveyance, consolidation or merger, and

(4) immediately after giving effect to such conveyance, consolidation or merger, no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, and

Upon any such conveyance, consolidation or merger of Borrower with or into any Person in accordance with this Section 6.2, such Person will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, Borrower under the Operative Agreements with the same effect as if such Person had been named as “Borrower” therein. No such conveyance, consolidation or merger shall have the effect of releasing Borrower or such Person from any of the obligations, liabilities, covenants, or undertakings of Borrower under the Mortgage.

6.3 Lender Covenants.

Each Lender agrees for the benefit of Borrower as follows:

(a) Quiet Enjoyment. Notwithstanding the effect of any provision in the Cape Town Convention to the contrary, which by the terms of the Cape Town Convention may be derogated from or varied, it agrees that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, it shall not, and shall not permit any Affiliate or other Person claiming by, through or under it to, and shall not instruct Security Agent to interfere with Borrower’s or any Permitted Lessee’s right of continuing possession, use and operation of, and quiet enjoyment of, the Aircraft subject to the restrictions therein provided in the Operative Agreements.

(b) Liens. No Lender (1) will directly or indirectly create, incur, assume, or suffer to exist any Lien on all or any part of the Collateral arising as a result of (a) claims

against such Lender not related to its interest in the Aircraft or the Collateral or the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements or (b) acts of such Lender not permitted by, or the failure of such Lender to take any action required by, the Operative Agreements and (2) will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take such action as is necessary to discharge any such Lien attributable to such Lender on all or any part of the Collateral.

6.4 Security Agent Covenants.

(a) Liens. Security Agent (1) will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume, or suffer to exist any Lien on all or any part of the Collateral arising as a result of (a) claims against Security Agent not related to its interest in the Aircraft or the Collateral or the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements or (b) acts of the Security Agent not permitted by, or the failure of the Security Agent to take any action required by, the Operative Agreements and (2) will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take such action as is necessary to discharge any such Lien attributable to Security Agent on all or any part of the Collateral.

7. ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OF INTEREST; SALE-LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS; JUNIOR LOANS; TERMINATION OF CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION AND CROSS-DEFAULT

7.1 Lenders.

(a) Transfer. Subject to Section 7.1(b) and (c) below and Section 2.6 of the Mortgage, any Lender may, at any time, Transfer or grant participations in all or any portion of its Commitment, Equipment Notes or all or any portion of its interest in or represented by its Commitment or Equipment Notes to a Transferee; provided, that any participant in any such participation shall not have any direct rights under the Operative Agreements or any Lien on all or any part of the Aircraft or the Collateral except that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4, 9.3 and 11.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by Transfer pursuant to this Section 7.1; further provided, no such Transfer or participation shall diminish Borrower’s rights or increase Borrower’s liability or obligations or the amounts thereof (including with respect to withholding Taxes) above (x) in the case of a Transfer, that which would result had any such Transfer not occurred (except to the extent resulting from a change in Law after the date of such Transfer) or (y) in the case of a participation, that which would have resulted had the relevant Lender retained the interest in the Commitment or the Equipment Notes that is the subject of such participation. In the case of any Transfer, the

Transferee, by execution and delivery of a Transfer Agreement in connection with such Transfer, shall be bound, to the extent provided therein, by all of the covenants of the transferring Lender in the Operative Agreements. In connection with any Transfer or participation, Article 8 shall continue to apply with respect to any confidential and proprietary information of Borrower and, prior to disclosing such information to a Transferee or participant or potential Transferee or participant, Lender shall obtain the agreements of Transferee(s) and such other Persons as contemplated by clause (b) of Article 8. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Operative Agreements to the contrary, no Lender shall be entitled to Transfer or grant participations to any Person in all or any portion of its Commitment, Equipment Notes or all or any portion of its beneficial interest in its Commitment or Equipment Notes, unless such Transfer or participation is in respect of a Commitment amount or an unpaid Original Amount that is greater than or equal to Five Million Dollars (US$5,000,000), or if less, the outstanding Original Amount of the Equipment Notes or the outstanding amount of such Lender’s Commitment, as the case may be.

(b) Securities Law. Each Lender agrees that it will not Transfer or grant participations in its Commitment, any Equipment Note which it holds or any interest in, or represented by, its Commitment or any Equipment Note which it holds in violation of the registration requirements of the Securities Act or in violation of the registration requirements of applicable state or foreign securities Laws.

(c) ERISA. Each Lender agrees that it will not Transfer any Equipment Note which it holds or any interest in, or represented by any Equipment Note which it holds unless the proposed Transferee thereof first provides Borrower with a written representation in the applicable Transfer Agreement that either (a) no portion of the funds used by it to purchase such Equipment Note constitutes “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulations codified at 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101) of any Plan, or (b) its purchase of such Equipment Note will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Code or Section 406(a) of ERISA.

(d) Transfer at Request of Borrower. In the event that Indemnified Withholding Taxes become payable by Borrower pursuant to Section 9.3(a) hereof with respect to payments by Borrower to a Lender under an Equipment Note or pursuant to any Operative Agreement and the elimination or sufficient reduction of such Indemnified Withholding Taxes pursuant to a transfer described in the last sentence of such Section 9.3(a) is not accomplished, such Lender shall, upon the written request of Borrower, sell in accordance with this Section 7.1 the affected Equipment Notes to a Person identified by Borrower to which payments under the Equipment Notes would not be subject to withholding Taxes under then applicable Law for an amount which, together with any supplemental payment by Borrower in connection with such sale, shall be equal to the par value of such affected Equipment Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon plus any Breakage Amount. In the circumstances required in Section 4.4 and Section 4.7, the affected Lender shall, upon the written request of Borrower, sell in accordance with this Section 7 the affected Equipment Notes to a Person identified by Borrower for an amount which, together with any supplemental payment by Borrower in connection with such

sale, shall be equal to the par value of such affected Equipment Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon plus any Breakage Amount. Out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any, (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by any Lender or Security Agent in connection with any such transfer shall be for the account of Borrower.

(e) Federal Reserve Bank. Any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in its interest in the Equipment Notes it holds and in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or grant of a security interest to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and Section 7.1 shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto; and provided, further, that no such pledge or grant shall diminish Borrower’s rights or increase Borrower’s liability or obligations or the amounts thereof (including with respect to withholding Taxes) above that which would result had any such pledge or grant not occurred (except to the extent resulting from a change in Law after the date of such pledge or grant) and that in connection with any such pledge or grant, (except to the Federal Reserve Bank, but subject to confidentiality arrangements as are customary in pledges or grants to the Federal Reserve Bank) Article 8 shall continue to apply with respect to any confidential and proprietary information of Borrower and, prior to disclosing such information to pledgee or grantee, Lender shall obtain the agreements of pledgee(s), grantee(s) and such other Persons as contemplated by clause (b) of Article 8.

7.2 Effect of Transfer; Costs.

Upon any Transfer in accordance with Section 7.1 (other than any Transfer by any Lender to the extent it only grants participations in Equipment Notes it holds or in its interest therein or represented thereby), the Transferee shall be deemed a “Lender” for all purposes of the Operative Agreements, and the transferring Lender shall be released from all of its liabilities and obligations with respect to such transferred Equipment Note under the Operative Agreements to the extent such liabilities and obligations arise with respect to the period after such Transfer (or as otherwise agreed between the transferring Lender and the Transferee) and, in each case, to the extent such liabilities and obligations are assumed by the Transferee; provided, that such transferring Lender (and its Affiliates, successors, assigns, agents, representatives, directors, and officers) will continue to have the benefit of any rights or indemnities under any Operative Agreement vested or relating to circumstances, conditions, acts, or events before such Transfer (or as otherwise agreed between the transferring Lender and the Transferee). The transferring Lender agrees that it shall reimburse, or shall cause the Transferee to reimburse, Borrower and Security Agent for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with any such Transfer.

7.3 Junior Loans.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Operative Agreement upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the parties hereto, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right to issue, at any time within eighteen (18) months

following the closing date of the financing of the final Eligible Aircraft, additional debt secured by a Lien on the Aircraft junior to the Lien of the Mortgage (a “Junior Loan”); provided, that there shall be no more than three (3) Eligible Aircraft secured by a Junior Loan at any time. In connection with any such Junior Loan with respect to the Aircraft, each of the parties hereto (or their successors) and the lender(s) providing such Junior Loan will execute and deliver an intercreditor agreement dealing with the terms of subordination and enforcement of remedies and other intercreditor matters in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the parties hereto (or their successors) and the lender(s) providing such Junior Loan, which agreement shall ensure there is no diminution of Security Agent’s first priority and perfected Lien in the Aircraft and all other then-existing Collateral. Borrower shall reimburse Security Agent and the Lenders for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with documenting any such Junior Loan.

7.4 Sale-Leaseback Transaction.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Operative Agreement, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the parties hereto, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right to sell, at any time within eighteen (18) months following the closing date of the financing of the final Eligible Aircraft, and transfer title to the Aircraft to an owner trustee for the benefit of an owner participant in a transaction in which such owner trustee assumes all of Borrower’s obligations under the Equipment Notes and the Mortgage on a non-recourse basis (with Borrower being released from such obligations, except to the extent accrued before the assumption), leases the Aircraft to Borrower, and assigns such lease to Security Agent pursuant to an amended and restated mortgage (a “Sale-Leaseback”); provided, that there shall be no more than three (3) Eligible Aircraft subject to a Sale-Leaseback at any time. In connection with such Sale-Leaseback with respect to the Aircraft, each of the parties hereto (or their successors) will execute and deliver appropriate documentation, if reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to it, permitting the owner trustee to assume Borrower’s obligations under the Equipment Notes and the Mortgage on a non-recourse basis, releasing Borrower from all obligations in respect of the Equipment Notes and Mortgage (except to the extent accrued before the assumption), and take all other actions as are reasonably necessary to permit such assumption by the owner trustee. In connection with any such Sale-Leaseback, (a) the documents, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Security Agent, shall include, but not be limited to, (1) a participation agreement among the parties hereto (or their successors), the owner trustee, and the owner participant, (2) a net lease agreement between Borrower and the owner trustee providing for minimum rent payments equal in timing and amounts to all required debt service payments under the Operative Agreements and for a covenant or obligation equivalent to all other financial and non-financial obligations of Borrower under the Operative Agreements, (3) an amended and restated mortgage (amending and restating the Mortgage) between Security Agent and owner trustee, (4) a purchase agreement assignment, and (5) a trust agreement between the owner trustee and the owner participant; and (b) the Equipment Notes shall be delivered to Security Agent for cancellation in exchange for new equipment notes to be issued to the Lenders by the owner trustee. Borrower shall reimburse Security Agent and the Lenders for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with any such Sale-Leaseback.

7.5 Termination of Cross-Collateralization and Cross-Defaults.

(a) Majority. If at any time a majority of the aggregate unpaid Original Amount of all Equipment Notes in respect of the Aircraft ceases to be held by the same Lender or Lenders as the “lender” or “lenders” holding a majority (or more) of the aggregate unpaid Original Amount of all Related Equipment Notes in respect of any one or more other Related Aircraft and/or holding a majority (or more) of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all PDP Notes, then unless such change of holding occurred as the result of the lawful exercise of remedies following an Event of Default (x) the Related Equipment Notes issued, and the Related Mortgages entered into, in respect of such one or more other Related Aircraft and/or the PDP Notes and the PDP Security Agreements, as the case may be, shall, without further act of the parties hereto or thereto, no longer be deemed to be “Related Notes” or “Related Mortgages” for purposes of this Agreement or the Mortgage and (y) the Lenders accept and agree that, unless otherwise agreed therein, the Equipment Notes and the Mortgage shall, without further act of the parties hereto or thereto, no longer be deemed to be “Related Notes” or a “Related Mortgage” under the terms of the Related Mortgage(s) in respect of such one or more other Related Aircraft and/or the PDP Security Agreements, as the case may be.

(b) Sale-Leaseback; Junior Loan. If the Aircraft is one of three (3) Eligible Aircraft which are subjected to a Sale-Leaseback pursuant to Section 7.4 or is one of three (3) Eligible Aircraft which are subjected to a Junior Loan pursuant to Section 7.3 then (x) the Related Equipment Notes issued, and the Related Mortgages entered into, in respect of the Eligible Aircraft not subjected to a Sale-Leaseback with the same owner participants (in the case of Section 7.4) or to a Junior Loan with the same lenders (in the case of Section 7.3) (for purposes of this Section 7.5(b) only, the “No-Cross Aircraft”) and the PDP Notes and PDP Security Agreements shall, without further act of the parties hereto or thereto, no longer be deemed to be “Related Notes” or “Related Mortgages” for purposes of this Agreement or the Mortgage and (y) the Lenders accept and agree that, unless otherwise agreed therein, the Equipment Notes and the Mortgage shall, without further act of the parties hereto or thereto, no longer be deemed to be “Related Notes” or a “Related Mortgage” under the terms of the Related Mortgage(s) in respect of the No-Cross Aircraft and the PDP Security Agreements.

(c) Payment. If the unpaid Original Amount of (plus the unpaid and accrued interest thereon and all other amounts due under the Operative Agreements with respect to) all Equipment Notes are paid in full and the Lien of the Mortgage is discharged and terminated in accordance with the terms thereof, (x) then the Related Equipment Notes issued, and the Related Mortgages entered into, in respect of the Related Aircraft and the PDP Notes and the PDP Security Agreements shall, without further act of the parties hereto or thereto, no longer be deemed to be “Related Notes” or “Related Mortgages” for purposes of this Agreement or the Mortgage and (y) the Lenders accept and agree that, unless otherwise agreed therein, the Equipment Notes and the Mortgage shall, without further act of the parties hereto or thereto, no longer be deemed to be “Related Notes” or a “Related Mortgage” under the terms of the Related Mortgage(s) in respect of such one or more other Related Aircraft and the PDP Security Agreements.

8. CONFIDENTIALITY

Each of Security Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by Borrower, Holdings, Security Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement that is designated by the provider thereof as confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent Security Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to Security Agent, any other Lender or any Affiliate thereof or of such Lender, (b) subject to an agreement by such Transferee or participant to comply with the provisions of this Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee (and its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and advisors or those of any of its Affiliates) or participant, (c) to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its Affiliates, (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Entity, (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Entity or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed by Borrower, (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Operative Agreement; provided, that any and all disclosures permitted by clauses (d), (e), (f), (h) or (i) above shall be made only to the extent reasonably deemed necessary to meet the specific requirements or needs of the Persons making such disclosures. If Borrower intends to issue any press release or make any public announcement of this transaction or its terms, Borrower agrees to present such press release or announcement to Security Agent for its review and approval prior to releasing any such press release or making any such announcement; provided, Borrower need not provide such release or announcement to Security Agent for review and approval so long as such release or announcement does not contain specific references to the Lenders or the Security Agent or to the economic terms of this transaction.

9. INDEMNIFICATION AND EXPENSES

9.1 General Indemnity.

(a) Indemnity. Whether or not any of the Transactions are consummated, Borrower shall indemnify, protect, defend, and hold harmless each Indemnitee from, against, and in respect of, and shall pay on an After-Tax Basis, any and all Expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnitee, relating to, resulting from, or arising out of or in connection with any one or more of the following:

(3)

to the extent attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any “Related Indemnitee” (as defined at the end of this Section 9.1(b)) (other than gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed to such Person solely by reason of its interest in the Aircraft or being party to any Operative Agreement);

(4)

(10)

if another provision of an Operative Agreement specifies the extent of Borrower’s responsibility or obligation with respect to such Expense, to the extent arising from a cause other than Borrower’s failure to comply with such specified responsibility or obligation; or

(13)

to the extent imposed on an Indemnitee as a result of any non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code caused by such Indemnitee.

For purposes of this Section 9.1, a Person shall be considered a “Related Indemnitee” of an Indemnitee if that Person is an Affiliate or employer of such Indemnitee, a director, officer, employee, agent, or servant of such Indemnitee or any such Affiliate.

(c) Separate Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.1 constitute a separate agreement with respect to each Indemnitee, and is enforceable directly by each such Indemnitee.

(d) Notice. If an Indemnitee makes a claim for any Expense indemnifiable under this Section 9.1, such Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnitee’s failure to notify Borrower as provided in this Section 9.1(d), or in Section 9.1(e), shall not release Borrower from any of its obligations to indemnify such Indemnitee hereunder, except to the extent that such failure results in an additional Expense to Borrower (in which event Borrower shall not be responsible for such additional Expense) or materially impairs Borrower’s ability to contest such claim.

(e) Notice of Proceedings; Defense of Claims; Limitations.

(1) If any action, suit, or proceeding for which Borrower is responsible under this Section 9.1 is brought against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall notify Borrower of the commencement thereof, and Borrower may, at its expense, participate in and, to the extent that it so desires (subject to the provisions of the following paragraph), assume and control the defense thereof and, subject to Section 9.1(e)(3), settle or compromise it.

(2) Borrower or its insurer(s) shall have the right, at its or their cost and expense, to investigate and the right in Borrower’s sole discretion, acting through counsel reasonably satisfactory to the respective Indemnitee, if Borrower has acknowledged in writing that it will indemnify such Indemnitee for such Expense (except that such acknowledgment does not apply if its is determined that Borrower is not liable hereunder) (A) in any judicial or administrative proceeding that involves an Expense and other claims which do not involve such Indemnitee, to assume responsibility for and control of the defense thereof, (B) in any judicial or administrative proceeding that involves an Expense and other claims against such Indemnitee related or unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, (x) to assume responsibility for and control of the defense of such Expense to the extent that the same may be and is severed from such other claims (and such Indemnitee shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain such severance) or (y) if such Expense is not severable from other claims that are material to such Indemnitee in relation to the Equipment Notes held by such Indemnitee, to assume responsibility for and control of the defense of such Expense if such assumption would not, in such Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment, prejudice or impair in any material respect, such Indemnitee’s management of such other claims and (C) in any other case, to be consulted by such Indemnitee and in which case such Indemnitee agrees to cooperate with reasonable requests of Borrower, each such request at Borrower’s

cost and expense, with respect to judicial proceedings subject to the control of such Indemnitee and to be allowed, at Borrower’s cost and expense, to participate therein. The Indemnitee may participate at its own cost and expense and with its own counsel in any judicial proceeding controlled by Borrower pursuant to the preceding provisions; provided that such Indemnitee’s participation does not, in Borrower’s reasonable judgment, prejudice or impair in any material respect the defense and management of such case. Borrower shall not be entitled to control the defense of any such action, suit, or proceeding, or to compromise any such Expense (and the relevant Indemnitee shall be entitled to assume such control), while (a) any Event of Default exists, or (b) if such proceedings will involve (i) a material risk of the sale, forfeiture, or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Lien) on the Aircraft, or the Collateral, unless Borrower shall have posted a bond or other security or collateral reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in respect to such risk, (c) if such proceedings are likely to entail any risk of criminal liability or material risk of civil liability being imposed on such Indemnitee that, in the case of civil liability in the reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee, adversely affects in any material respect the business reputation of such Indemnitee or if, in the reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee, control by Borrower would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest.

(3) In no event shall any Indemnitee enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any Expense without Borrower’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Expense under this Section 9.1 or is required by Law to do so.

(4) To the extent that any Expense indemnified by Borrower hereunder may be covered by insurance maintained by Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, each Indemnitee agrees to cooperate with all reasonable requests of insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend, or compromise such Expense as may be required to retain the benefits of such insurance with respect to such Expense.

(5) If an Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, Borrower may require such Indemnitee to agree in writing to the terms of this Section 9.1 and Section 11.8 before making any payment to such Indemnitee under this Article 9.

(6) Nothing in this Section 9.1(e) shall require an Indemnitee to assume responsibility for or control of any judicial proceeding with respect thereto.

(f) Information. Borrower will provide the relevant Indemnitee with such information not within the control of such Indemnitee (but in Borrower’s control or reasonably available to Borrower) which such Indemnitee reasonably requests, and will otherwise cooperate with such Indemnitee so as to enable such Indemnitee to fulfill its obligations under Section 9.1(e). The Indemnitee shall supply Borrower with such information not within the control of Borrower (but in such Indemnitee’s control or reasonably available to such Indemnitee) which Borrower reasonably requests to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by Section 9.1(e).

(g) Effect of Other Indemnities. Upon payment in full by or on behalf of Borrower of any indemnity provided for under this Agreement, Borrower, without any further action and to the full extent permitted by Law, will be subrogated to all rights and remedies of the Person indemnified (other than with respect to any of such Indemnitee’s insurance policies or in connection with any indemnity claim of such Indemnitee under Section 10.4) in respect of the matter as to which such indemnity was paid. Each Indemnitee will give such further assurances or agreements and cooperate with Borrower to permit Borrower to pursue such claims, to the extent reasonably requested by Borrower and at Borrower’s expense.

(h) Refunds. If an Indemnitee receives any refund from any party other than Borrower or its insurers, in whole or in part, with respect to any Expense paid by Borrower hereunder, that Indemnitee will promptly pay the amount refunded (but not an amount in excess of the amount Borrower or any of its insurers has paid in respect of such Expense) over to Borrower unless a Default or Event of Default exists, in which case such amount shall be paid over to Security Agent to hold as security for Borrower’s obligations under the relevant Operative Agreements until such time as such Default or Event of Default no longer exists, in which case such amount and any gain realized as a result of investments required to be made pursuant to Article 6 of the Mortgage shall be (except to the extent theretofore applied as provided in the Mortgage) paid over to Borrower.

9.2 Expenses.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to particular matters in the Operative Agreements, Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by Security Agent in connection with any waiver, consent or approval or amendment or modification of any Operative Agreement requested by Borrower; and each Lender agrees that it shall reimburse Borrower and Security Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by Borrower and Security Agent in connection with any waiver, consent or approval or amendment or modification of any Operative Agreement requested by it.

9.3 General Tax Indemnity.

(a) Withholding Taxes. Except as provided in Section 9.3(c), Borrower agrees that each payment paid by Borrower under the Equipment Notes, and any other payment or indemnity paid by Borrower to a Lender under any Operative Agreement, shall be free of all withholdings or deductions with respect to Taxes of any nature unless the withholding or deduction is required by law, and if any such withholding or deduction for any such payment is required by applicable Law, (1) all such withholdings or deductions shall be made as provided in Section 2.3(b) of the Mortgage, (2) if and to the extent that all or any portion of the required withholdings or deductions constitutes Indemnified

Withholding Taxes, the amount payable by Borrower shall be increased so that, after making all required withholdings or deductions, such Lender receives the same amount that it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions with respect to such Indemnified Withholding Taxes been made, with the amount payable by Borrower with respect to such Indemnified Withholding Taxes being calculated on an After-Tax Basis and (3) Borrower or Security Agent, as the case may be, shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Taxing Authority in accordance with applicable law. The term “Indemnified Withholding Taxes” shall mean, with respect to any Equipment Note, withholding taxes imposed by any Government, other than United States withholding Taxes imposed as of the time the Lender owning such Equipment Note became a Lender (except to the extent that (i) such Lender acquired such Equipment Note by assignment from another Lender and (ii) immediately prior to such assignment Borrower was paying additional amounts to the assigning Lender pursuant to this Section 9.3(a) with respect to United States withholding Taxes that were Indemnified Taxes). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the amount of United States withholding Taxes payable with respect to an Equipment Note changes after the date the Lender owning such Equipment Note became a Lender, such United States withholding Taxes shall constitute Indemnified Withholding Taxes only to the extent that, as the result of a change in U.S. federal tax law or regulation or the interpretation thereof or a change in a tax treaty to which the United States is a party, in each case that occurs after the date the Lender owing such Equipment Notes becomes a Lender, such withholding Taxes become applicable with respect to a payment by Borrower to the Lender (if none had previously been imposed or required) or the rate applicable to a previously imposed or required withholding Tax is increased. In the event that Indemnified Withholding Taxes become payable by Borrower as provided above, the Lender will use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer the Equipment Notes to another jurisdiction that is mutually acceptable to Borrower and such Lender so that either (1) no such Indemnified Withholding Taxes would be applicable to subsequent payments to such Lender following such transfer (taking into account the provisions of Treas. Reg. § 1.881-3 and the limitation on benefits provisions of any applicable tax treaty) or (2) the rate of the Indemnified Withholding Taxes applicable to subsequent payments to such Lender following such transfer (taking into account the provisions of Treas. Reg. § 1.881-3 and the limitation on benefits provisions of any applicable tax treaty) would not exceed the rate of the Indemnified Withholding Taxes applicable to payments to such Lender prior to such transfer and, in the case of United States withholding Taxes, the applicable change in U.S. federal tax law or regulation or the interpretation thereof or change in tax treaty; provided that such Lender shall not be required to transfer the Equipment Notes as provided above in this sentence if such transfer would cause such Lender to suffer economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage that is not indemnified by Borrower in a manner reasonably acceptable to such Lender; and provided further, that nothing in this sentence shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to this Section 9.3(a) prior to such transfer of the affected Equipment Notes.

(b) General Tax Indemnity. Except as provided in Section 9.3(c) and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Borrower shall pay, indemnify, protect, defend, and hold harmless each Tax Indemnitee from all Taxes imposed by any Taxing Authority imposed on or asserted against any Tax Indemnitee or

the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any Part, or any interest in any of the foregoing (whether or not indemnified against by any other Person), upon or with respect to the Operative Agreements or the transactions or payments contemplated thereby, including any Tax imposed upon or with respect to (x) the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, any Part, any Operative Agreement (including any Equipment Notes), any data, or any other thing delivered or to be delivered under an Operative Agreement, (y) the purchase, manufacture, acceptance, rejection, sale, transfer of title, return, ownership, mortgaging, delivery, transport, charter, rental, lease, re-lease, sublease, assignment, possession, repossession, presence, use, condition, storage, preparation, maintenance, modification, alteration, improvement, operation, registration, transfer or change of registration, re-registration, repair, replacement, overhaul, location, control, imposition of any Lien, financing, refinancing requested by Borrower, abandonment, or other disposition of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, any Part, any data, or any other thing delivered or to be delivered under an Operative Agreement or (z) interest, fees, or other income, proceeds, receipts, or earnings, whether actual or deemed, arising upon, in connection with, or in respect of any of the Operative Agreements (including the property or income or other proceeds with respect to property held as part of the Collateral) or the transactions contemplated thereby.

(c) Certain Exceptions. The provisions of Section 9.3(a) and Section 9.3(b) shall not apply to, and Borrower shall have no liability hereunder for, Taxes:

(1) imposed on a Tax Indemnitee by any Taxing Authority or governmental subdivision thereof or therein (A) on, based on, or measured by gross or net income or gross or net receipts, including capital gains taxes, excess profits taxes, minimum taxes from tax preferences, alternative minimum taxes, branch profits taxes, accumulated earnings taxes, personal holding company taxes, succession taxes and estate taxes, and any withholding taxes on, based on, or measured by gross or net income or receipts, or (B) on, or with respect to, or measured by capital or net worth or in the nature of a franchise tax or a tax for the privilege of doing business (other than, in the case of clause (A) or (B), (y) sales, use, license, or property Taxes, or (z) any Taxes imposed by any Taxing Authority (other than a Taxing Authority within whose jurisdiction such Tax Indemnitee (i) is incorporated or organized or maintains its principal place of business or (ii) maintains a permanent establishment in the United States, if and to the extent that the income, receipts or gains to which such Taxes relate are effectively connected with such permanent establishment, other than by reason of a change in law occurring after the date such Tax Indemnitee acquires an interest in the Commitment or an Equipment Note.) if such Tax Indemnitee would not have been subject to Taxes of such type by such jurisdiction but for (i) the location, use, or operation of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any Part thereof by an Borrower Person within the jurisdiction of the Taxing Authority imposing such Tax, or (ii) the activities of any Borrower Person in such jurisdiction, including use of any other aircraft by Borrower in such jurisdiction, (iii) the status of any Borrower Person as a foreign entity or as an entity owned in whole or in part by foreign persons, (iv) Borrower having made (or having been deemed to have made) payments to such Tax Indemnitee from the relevant

jurisdiction, or (v) in the case of Lender, Borrower’s being incorporated or organized or maintaining a place of business or conducting activities in such jurisdiction);

(2) on, with respect to, or measured by any fees, commissions, or compensation received by Security Agent;

(3) that are being contested as provided in Section 9.3(e);

(4) imposed on any Tax Indemnitee to the extent that such Taxes result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Tax Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof;

(5) imposed on or with respect to a Tax Indemnitee (including the transferee in those cases in which the Tax on transfer is imposed on, or is collected from, the transferee) as a result of a transfer or other disposition (including a deemed transfer or disposition) by such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee of any interest in the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any Part, any interest arising under the Operative Agreements, or any Equipment Note, or as a result of a transfer or disposition (including a deemed transfer or disposition) of any interest in a Tax Indemnitee (other than (1) a substitution or replacement of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any Part by a Borrower Person that is treated for Tax purposes as a transfer or disposition, or (2) a transfer pursuant to an exercise of remedies upon a then-existing Event of Default);

(6) in excess of those that would have been imposed had there not been a transfer or other disposition described in clause (6) of this Section 9.3(c) by or to such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee (except to the extent resulting from a change in Law after the date of such transfer or disposition);

(7) consisting of any interest, penalties, or additions to tax imposed on a Tax Indemnitee as a result (in whole or in part) of a failure of such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee to file any return properly and timely, unless such failure is caused by Borrower’s failure to fulfill its obligations (if any) under Section 9.3(g) with respect to such return;

(8) resulting from, or that would not have been imposed but for, any Liens arising as a result of claims against, or acts or omissions of, or otherwise attributable to such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee that Borrower is not obligated to discharge under the Operative Agreements;

(9) imposed on any Tax Indemnitee as a result of the breach by such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee of any covenant of such Tax Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof contained in any Operative Agreement or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty by such Tax Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof in any Operative Agreement;

(10) in the nature of an intangible or similar Tax upon or with respect to the value or principal amount of the interest of any Lender in any Equipment Note or the loan evidenced thereby, but only if such Taxes are in the nature of franchise Taxes or result from the conduct of business by such Tax Indemnitee in the taxing jurisdiction and are imposed because of the place of incorporation or the activities unrelated to the Transactions in the taxing jurisdiction of such Tax Indemnitee;

(11) imposed on a Tax Indemnitee by a Taxing Authority, to the extent that such Taxes result from a connection between the Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee and such jurisdiction imposing such Tax unrelated to the Transactions; or

(12) to the extent imposed on an Indemnitee as a result of any non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code caused by such Indemnitee.

For purposes hereof, a Tax Indemnitee and any other Tax Indemnitees who are successors, assigns, agents, or Affiliates of such Tax Indemnitee shall be related Tax Indemnitees.

(d)

Payment.

(1) Borrower’s indemnity obligation to a Tax Indemnitee under this Section 9.3 shall equal the amount which, after taking into account any Tax imposed upon the receipt or accrual of the amounts payable under this Section 9.3 and any Tax Benefits realized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of the indemnifiable Tax (including any benefits realized as a result of such Tax Indemnitee’s use of an indemnifiable Tax as a credit against Taxes not indemnifiable under this Section 9.3), shall equal the amount of the Tax indemnifiable under this Section 9.3.

(2) At Borrower’s request, in the event there is a dispute with respect to the computation of the amount of any indemnity payment owed by Borrower or any amount owed by a Tax Indemnitee to Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.3 (including, without limitation, whether a Tax refund has been received that a Tax Indemnitee would be required to pay to Borrower pursuant to Section 9.3(f) and whether a Tax Benefit has been realized that a Tax Indemnitee would be required to pay to Borrower pursuant to Section 9.3(d)(5)) such computation shall be verified and certified by an independent public accounting firm selected by such Tax Indemnitee and reasonably satisfactory to Borrower. Each Tax Indemnitee shall upon request provide to such accounting firm such information in such Tax Indemnitee’s possession or control as is reasonably necessary (which such determination is in such accounting firm’s sole discretion, exercised in good faith), for the performance of such verification (subject to the accounting firm’s execution and delivery of a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Tax Indemnitee); provided, however, that in no event shall the tax returns, filings and confidential work papers of such Tax Indemnitee

be required to be disclosed (provided that the disclosure of information set forth in such tax returns, filings and confidential work papers (as distinct from such returns, filings and work papers), shall be provided and shall not be protected from disclosure if needed for the verification of the computation of such indemnity payment or such amount owed to Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Borrower have the right to receive any information provided to the accounting firm pursuant to the prior sentence. Such verification shall be binding. The costs of such verification (including the fee of such public accounting firm) shall be borne by Borrower unless such verification results in an adjustment in Borrower’s favor that exceeds the greater of (A) 7.5% of the net present value of the payment as computed by such Tax Indemnitee or (B) $15,000, in which case the costs shall be paid by such Tax Indemnitee.

(3) Each Tax Indemnitee shall provide Borrower with such certifications, and such information and documentation in such Tax Indemnitee’s possession or control, and Borrower reasonably requests to minimize any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 9.3.

(4) Each Tax Indemnitee shall promptly forward to Borrower any written notice, ▇▇▇▇, or advice that such Tax Indemnitee receives from any Taxing Authority concerning any Tax for which it seeks indemnification under this Section 9.3. Borrower shall pay any amount for which it is liable pursuant to this Section 9.3 directly to the appropriate Taxing Authority if legally permissible, or, upon demand of a Tax Indemnitee, to such Tax Indemnitee within thirty (30) days of such demand (or, if a contest occurs in accordance with Section 9.3(d), within thirty (30) days after a Final Determination (as defined below)), but in no event more than three (3) Business Days before the related Tax is due. If requested by a Tax Indemnitee in writing, Borrower shall furnish to the appropriate Tax Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt for Borrower’s payment of any Tax paid by Borrower (if such a receipt is reasonably obtainable from the applicable Taxing Authority), or such other evidence of payment of such Tax as is reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee. Borrower shall also furnish promptly upon written request such data as any Tax Indemnitee reasonably requires to enable such Tax Indemnitee to comply with the requirements of any taxing jurisdiction, unless such data are not within the possession or control of Borrower or (unless such data are specifically requested by a Taxing Authority) are not customarily furnished by U.S. domestic air carriers under similar circumstances. For purposes of this Section 9.3, a “Final Determination” is (A) a decision, judgment, decree, or other order by any court of competent jurisdiction that occurs pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.3(e), which decision, judgment, decree, or other order has become final and unappealable, (B) a closing agreement or settlement agreement entered into in accordance with Section 9.3(e) that has become binding and is not subject to further review or appeal (absent fraud, misrepresentation, etc.), or (C) the termination of administrative proceedings and the expiration of the time for instituting a claim in a court proceeding.

(5) If any Tax Indemnitee actually realizes a Tax Benefit by reason of any Tax paid or indemnified by Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.3 (whether such tax savings arise by means of a foreign tax credit, depreciation or cost recovery deduction, or otherwise), and such Tax Benefit is not otherwise taken into account in computing such payment or indemnity, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount of such tax savings, plus any additional tax savings recognized as the result of any payment made pursuant to this sentence, and (B) the amount of all payments pursuant to this Section 9.3 by Borrower to such Tax Indemnitee (less any payments previously made by such Tax Indemnitee to Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.3(d)(5)) (and the excess, if any, of the amount described in clause (A) over the amount described in clause (B) shall be carried forward and applied to reduce pro tanto any subsequent obligations of Borrower to make payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.3); provided, that such Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to make any payment pursuant to this sentence so long as an Event of Default of a monetary nature exists. If a Tax Benefit is later disallowed or denied, the disallowance or denial shall be treated as a Tax indemnifiable under Section 9.3(b) without regard to the provisions of Section 9.3(c) (other than Section 9.3(c)(5), (8) or (10)). Each such Tax Indemnitee shall in good faith use reasonable efforts in filing its tax returns and in dealing with Taxing Authorities to seek and claim any such Tax Benefit; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the positions taken by such Tax Indemnitee on its Tax returns and filings, and, subject to the provisions of Section 9.3(e) hereof, in any Tax proceedings shall be within the sole, good-faith discretion of such Tax Indemnitee and, subject to the provisions of Section 9.3(d)(2) hereof, no Person shall have the right to require disclosure of the Tax returns or filings of such Tax Indemnitee.

(e) Contest.

(1) If a written claim is made against a Tax Indemnitee for Taxes with respect to which Borrower could be liable for payment or indemnity hereunder, or if a Tax Indemnitee determines that a Tax is due for which Borrower could have an indemnity obligation hereunder, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrower in writing of such claim (provided, that failure so to notify Borrower shall not relieve Borrower of its indemnity obligations hereunder except to the extent that such failure increases the amount of Taxes subject to such claim as the result of the imposition of penalties or interest or unless the failure to notify effectively forecloses Borrower’s rights to successfully contest such claim), and shall take no action with respect to such claim without Borrower’s prior written consent for thirty (30) days following Borrower’s receipt of such notice. In addition, such Tax Indemnitee shall (provided that Borrower shall have agreed to keep such information confidential other than to the extent necessary in order to contest the claim) furnish Borrower with copies of any requests for information from any Taxing Authority relating to such Taxes with respect to which Borrower may be required to indemnify hereunder. If requested by Borrower in writing within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice, such Tax Indemnitee shall, at Borrower’s expense (including all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses,

including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in connection with, and reasonably allocable to, the contest of such Tax), in good faith contest (or, if permitted by applicable law and to the extent provided below, allow Borrower to contest) through appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings the validity, applicability, or amount of such Taxes by (x) resisting payment thereof, (y) not paying the Taxes except under protest if protest is necessary and proper, or (z) if the payment is made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in an appropriate administrative or judicial proceeding (with the determination of which alternative to be used made in the sole discretion of the party controlling the contest). If requested to do so by Borrower, the Tax Indemnitee shall appeal any adverse administrative or judicial decision, except that the Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to pursue any appeals to the United States Supreme Court. Borrower shall have the right, at its cost and expense, (A) in any judicial or administrative proceeding that involves an indemnified Tax and other Taxes which do not involve such Tax Indemnitee, to assume responsibility for and control of the defense thereof, (B) in any judicial or administrative proceeding that involves an indemnified Tax and other Taxes asserted against such Tax Indemnitee related or unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, (x) to assume responsibility for and control of the defense of such indemnified Tax to the extent that the same may be and is severed from such other claims (and such Tax Indemnitee shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain such severance) or (y) if such indemnified Tax is not severable from other claims with respect to Taxes asserted against such Tax Indemnitee that are material to such Tax Indemnitee, to assume responsibility for and control of the defense of such indemnified Tax if such assumption would not, in such Tax Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment, prejudice or impair in any material respect, such Tax Indemnitee’s management of such other claims and (C) in any other case, to be consulted by such Tax Indemnitee and in which case such Tax Indemnitee agrees to cooperate with reasonable requests of Borrower, each such request at Borrower’s cost and expense, with respect to judicial proceedings subject to the control of such Tax Indemnitee and to be allowed, at Borrower’s cost and expense, to participate therein. The Tax Indemnitee may participate at its own cost and expense and with its own counsel in any judicial proceeding controlled by Borrower pursuant to the preceding provisions; provided that such Tax Indemnitee’s participation does not, in Borrower’s reasonable judgment, prejudice or impair in any material respect the defense and management of such case. Borrower shall not be entitled to control the defense of any such judicial or administrative proceeding (and the relevant Tax Indemnitee shall be entitled to assume such control) if such proceedings are likely to entail any risk of criminal liability or material risk of civil liability being imposed on such Tax Indemnitee that, in the case of civil liability in the reasonable opinion of such Tax Indemnitee, adversely affects in any material respect the business reputation of such Tax Indemnitee or if, in the reasonable opinion of such Tax Indemnitee, control by Borrower would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest. A Tax Indemnitee shall not fail to take any action expressly required by this Section 9.3(e) (including any action regarding any appeal of an adverse determination with

respect to any claim) or settle or compromise any claim without Borrower’s prior written consent (except as contemplated by Sections 9.3(e)(2) or (3), which consent may not be unreasonably withheld).

(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Tax Indemnitee be required to pursue any contest (or to permit Borrower to pursue any contest) unless (A) Borrower agrees to pay such Tax Indemnitee on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses that such Tax Indemnitee incurs in connection with contesting such Taxes, including all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements, in each case, to the extent reasonably allocable to the contest of such Taxes, (B) if such contest involves the payment of the claim, Borrower advances the amount thereof (to the extent indemnified hereunder) that is required to be paid before commencing the contest on an interest-free After-Tax Basis to such Tax Indemnitee (and such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly pay to Borrower any net realized tax benefits resulting from such advance, including any Tax Benefits resulting from making such payment), (C) the action to be taken will not result in any material risk of forfeiture, sale, or loss of the Aircraft (unless Borrower makes provisions to protect the interests of any such Tax Indemnitee in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee) (provided, that such Tax Indemnitee shall notify Borrower in writing promptly after it becomes aware of any such risk), (D) no Event of Default exists, unless Borrower has provided security for its obligations hereunder by advancing to such Tax Indemnitee, before proceeding or continuing with such contest, the amount of the Tax being contested, plus any interest and penalties and an amount estimated in good faith by such Tax Indemnitee for expenses, and (E) Borrower has acknowledged in writing its obligations to indemnify the Tax Indemnitee for the Tax to be contested; provided, however, that Borrower will not be bound by the acknowledgment of liability if the contest is resolved on a basis that clearly establishes that Borrower would not have been liable to the Tax Indemnitee under this Agreement in the absence of such acknowledgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Tax Indemnitee releases, waives, compromises, or settles any claim that may be indemnifiable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.3 without Borrower’s written permission (which permission may not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower’s obligation to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee with respect to such claim (and all directly-related claims, and claims based on the outcome of such claim) shall terminate, and such Tax Indemnitee shall repay to Borrower any amount previously paid or advanced to such Tax Indemnitee with respect to such claim, plus interest at the rate that would have been payable by the relevant Taxing Authority on a refund of such Tax.

(3) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.3, a Tax Indemnitee will not be required to contest the imposition of any Tax, and shall be permitted to settle or compromise any claim without Borrower’s consent, if such Tax Indemnitee (A) waives its right to indemnity under this Section 9.3 with respect to such Tax (and any directly-related claim, and any claim the outcome of which is determined based upon the outcome of such claim), and (B) pays to

Borrower any amount previously paid or advanced by Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.3 with respect to such Tax, plus interest at the rate that would have been payable by the relevant Taxing Authority on a refund of such Tax.

(f) Refund. If in the ordinary course of administering its Tax affairs any Tax Indemnitee determines or discovers the existence of a refund, or that such Tax Indemnitee is entitled to a credit against other liability, which such refund or credit is in whole or in part directly attributable to any Taxes paid, reimbursed, or advanced by Borrower pursuant to Section 9.3, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Borrower within thirty (30) days of such receipt an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such refund or credit that is directly attributable to Taxes paid, reimbursed or advanced by Borrower, plus any net tax benefit (taking into account any Taxes incurred by such Tax Indemnitee by reason of the receipt of such refund or realization of such credit) actually realized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of any payment by such Tax Indemnitee made pursuant to this sentence (including this clause (i)), and (ii) such tax payment, reimbursement, or advance by Borrower to such Tax Indemnitee theretofore made pursuant to this Section 9.3 (and the excess, if any, of the amount described in clause (i) over the amount described in clause (ii) shall be carried forward and applied to reduce pro tanto any subsequent obligation of Borrower to make payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.3). If, in addition to such refund or credit, such Tax Indemnitee receives (or is credited with) an amount representing interest on the amount of such refund or credit, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Borrower within thirty (30) days after receiving or realizing such credit that proportion of such interest fairly attributable to Taxes paid, reimbursed, or advanced by Borrower before the receipt of such refund or realization of such credit. If a Tax Indemnitee pays Borrower any amount under this Section 9.3(f) and if and to the extent that it is subsequently determined pursuant to a contest conducted in accordance with Section 9.3(e) that such Tax Indemnitee was not entitled to the refund for which such Tax Indemnitee made such payment to Borrower, such determination shall be treated as the imposition of a Tax for which Borrower is obligated to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.3(b), without regard to the provisions of Section 9.3(c) (other than Section 9.3(c)(5), (8) or (10)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Borrower provides a Tax Indemnitee with a written notice setting forth facts and circumstances which create a reasonable possibility of a refund of (or a credit against other liability with respect to) an indemnified Tax, such Tax Indemnitee shall make a determination as to whether it has received such a refund (or is entitled to such a credit). If a Tax Indemnitee determines that it has received such a refund (or is entitled to such a credit) it shall pay such refund (or the amount of such credit) to Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.3(f). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Tax Indemnitee be required to make available any of its Tax Documents (or any other information relating to its Taxes its deems confidential), to Borrower or any other Person (except as provided in Section 9.3(d)(2) of this Agreement).

(g) Tax Filing. Borrower shall timely file any report, return, or statement that is required to be filed with respect to any Tax which is subject to indemnification under this Section 9.3 (except for any such report, return, or statement which a Tax Indemnitee has timely notified Borrower in writing that such Tax Indemnitee intends to file, or for

which such Tax Indemnitee is required by law to file, in its own name); provided, that the relevant Tax Indemnitee shall furnish Borrower with any information in such Tax Indemnitee’s possession or control that is reasonably necessary to file any such return, report, or statement and that Borrower reasonably requests in writing. Borrower shall either file such report, return, or statement and send a copy to such Tax Indemnitee, or, if Borrower is not permitted to file such report, return, or statement, it shall notify such Tax Indemnitee in writing of such requirement and prepare and deliver such report, return, or statement to such Tax Indemnitee in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee within a reasonable time before the time such report, return, or statement is to be filed; provided, that the relevant Tax Indemnitee shall furnish Borrower with any information in such Tax Indemnitee’s possession or control that is reasonably necessary to file any such return, report, or statement and that Borrower reasonably requests in writing.

(h) Forms. Each Tax Indemnitee agrees to furnish from time to time to Borrower, Security Agent, or such other Person as Borrower or Security Agent shall designate, at Borrower’s or Security Agent’s request, such duly-executed and properly-completed forms as may be necessary or appropriate in order to claim any reduction of or exemption from any withholding or other Tax imposed by any Taxing Authority, if (i) such reduction or exemption is available to such Tax Indemnitee, and (ii) Borrower has provided such Tax Indemnitee with any information necessary to complete such form not otherwise reasonably available to such Tax Indemnitee. For the avoidance of doubt, by failing to comply with this Section 9.3(h) (whether by failing to provide a form when required to do so or by providing an inaccurate or invalid form), such Tax Indemnitee shall be in breach of the foregoing covenant and responsible for damages resulting therefrom.

(i) Non-Parties. If a Tax Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, Borrower may require the Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to Borrower, to the terms of this Section 9.3 and Section 11.8 before any payment shall be due to such Tax Indemnitee under this Section 9.3.

(j) Subrogation. Upon payment of any Tax by Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.3 to or on behalf of a Tax Indemnitee, without any further action, Borrower shall be subrogated to any claims that such Tax Indemnitee may have relating to that Tax. Such Tax Indemnitee shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith with Borrower to permit Borrower to pursue such claims.

9.4 Payments.

Except as otherwise provided herein, any payments which Borrower or an Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee is obligated to make pursuant to Section 9.1 or Section 9.3 shall be paid on the thirtieth (30^th) day after demand, but not before five (5) days before the date such Expense or Tax is due or payable by such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee, as applicable.

Security Agent hereby accepts such appointments, designations and authorizations. Further, each Lender hereby and by the acceptance of an Equipment Note authorizes The Royal Bank of Scotland plc New York Branch (and its successors and assigns as secured party) to act as its “representative” and “secured party” on its behalf under the terms of any Related Mortgage under which such Lender holds secured obligations thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Operative Agreement, Security Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Operative Agreements, nor

shall Security Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or otherwise exist against Security Agent.

10.2 Limitation on Security Agent’s Liability.

Neither Security Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Operative Agreements, except for its or their own gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violations of Law. Security Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for (a) any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in the Operative Agreements or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of the Lenders under, the Operative Agreements, (b) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness or enforceability of the Operative Agreements or any such certificate or other document, (c) the value or sufficiency of the Collateral or (d) any failure by Borrower to perform any of its obligations under the Operative Agreements. Security Agent may exercise any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Security Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact so long as Security Agent was not grossly negligent in selecting or directing such agents or attorneys-in-fact. Security Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Operative Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower. Security Agent shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone or telecopier) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or given by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Security Agent. Security Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Operative Agreements unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority in Interest of the Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders, or as otherwise provided in Section 2.5) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction in accordance with Section 10.4 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Security Agent shall in all cases in respect of the Lenders be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements in accordance with a request of the Majority in Interest of the Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders, or as otherwise provided in Section 2.5), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Equipment Notes.

10.3 Rights as Lender.

Each Person acting as Security Agent that is also a Lender shall, in its capacity as a Lender, have the same rights and powers under the Operative Agreements as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Security Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall include such Person in its individual capacity. Each Person acting as Security

Agent (whether or not such Person is a Lender) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Borrower and its Affiliates as if it were not acting as Security Agent.

10.4 Indemnification.

Each Lender agrees, as between itself and Security Agent, to indemnify Security Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower under the Operative Agreements and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), ratably on the basis of the unpaid Original Amounts of the Equipment Notes held by such Lenders (or, if no Equipment Notes are at the time issued, ratably on the basis of their respective Commitments), for any and all Expenses that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Security Agent (including the costs and expenses that Borrower is obligated to pay under the Operative Agreements) in any way relating to or arising out of the Operative Agreements or any other documents contemplated thereby or referred to therein or the transactions contemplated thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no such Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent such Expenses result from Security Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violations of Law by Security Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.4 shall survive the payment of the Equipment Notes and all other amounts payable under the Operative Agreements.

10.5 Non-reliance on Security Agent and other Lenders.

Each Lender agrees that it has made and will continue to make, independently and without reliance on Security Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it deems appropriate, its own credit analysis of Borrower, its own evaluation of the Collateral and its own decision to enter into the Operative Agreements and to take or refrain from taking any action in connection therewith. Security Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower of the Operative Agreements or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of Borrower or the Collateral. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Security Agent under the Operative Agreements, Security Agent shall have no obligation to provide any Lender with any information concerning the business, status or condition of Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, the Operative Agreements or the Collateral that may come into the possession of Security Agent or any of its Affiliates.

10.6 Successor Security Agent.

(a) The institution acting as Security Agent or any successor thereto may resign at any time without cause by giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Borrower and each Lender, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance by a successor institution of its appointment as Security Agent. In addition, a Majority in Interest of the Lenders may at any time (but only with the consent of Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) remove the institution acting as Security

Agent without cause by an instrument in writing delivered to Borrower and Security Agent, and Security Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof in writing, such removal to be effective upon the acceptance by a successor institution of its appointment as Security Agent. In the case of the resignation or removal of the institution acting as Security Agent, a Majority in Interest of the Lenders may appoint a successor agent by an instrument signed by such holders, subject to approval by Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Security Agent and the term “Security Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval and the former Security Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Security Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Security Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holder of the Equipment Notes. If a successor is not appointed within thirty (30) days after such notice of resignation or removal, Security Agent, Borrower or any Lender may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor to act until such time as agent by an instrument signed by such holders, as a successor is appointed as provided above. The court-appointed successor shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor appointed by the Majority in Interest of the Lenders as provided for above. After any retiring Security Agent’s resignation as Security Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Security Agent under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements.

(b) Any successor institution acting as Security Agent, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to Borrower and the predecessor institution acting as Security Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and assuming the obligations of Security Agent arising from and after the time of such appointment, and thereupon, without further act, such successor shall become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and duties of the predecessor hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements as if originally named Security Agent herein and therein; but nevertheless upon the written request of such successor Security Agent, such predecessor shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor, all the estates, properties, rights, and powers of such predecessor, and such predecessor shall duly assign, transfer, deliver, and pay over to such successor all money or other property then held by such predecessor hereunder and thereunder. Any successor Security Agent shall be bound by all actions taken or omitted to be taken under the Operative Agreements by each predecessor Security Agent.

(c) Any successor institution acting as Security Agent, however appointed, shall be a bank or trust company or a branch of a foreign commercial bank that is subject to regulatory supervision by the Federal Reserve Board (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A)) and that, in the case of such bank, trust company or branch, has its principal place of business in the United States of America, and that has (or the bank of which such branch is a branch has) (or whose obligations under the Operative Agreements are guaranteed by an affiliated entity that has) a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, if such an institution is then willing, able, and legally qualified to perform the duties of Security Agent under the Operative Agreements upon reasonable or customary terms.

10.7 Notice of Default.

If Security Agent obtains Actual Knowledge of a Default, Security Agent shall notify each Lender. Subject to Sections 5.6 of the Mortgage and Section 10.8 hereof, Security Agent shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to an Event of Default or Default (including with respect to the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder) as Security Agent shall be instructed in writing by a Majority in Interest of the Lenders. Unless it has Actual Knowledge, Security Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of a Default or an Event of Default unless notified in writing by Borrower or one or more Lenders.

10.8 Instructions from a Majority in Interest of Lenders.

Except as provided in Sections 2.5, 10.2 and 11.1 hereof or in Section 7.1 of the Mortgage, upon the written instructions at any time and from time to time of a Majority in Interest of the Lenders, Security Agent shall take such of the following actions as shall be specified in such instructions: (a) give such notice or direction or take any discretionary action which it is entitled to take or exercise such right, remedy, or power under any of the Operative Agreements as shall be specified in such instructions, (b) approve as satisfactory to Security Agent all matters required by any of the Operative Agreements to be satisfactory to Security Agent, and (c) enter into any amendment, modification or supplement of any of the Operative Agreements or grant consents, waivers or approvals requested by Borrower under any of the Operative Agreements. Adequate opportunity, in the particular circumstances, shall be afforded the Lenders to give or to withhold the instructions referred to in the preceding sentence.

10.9 Reports, Notices, etc.

Security Agent will furnish to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof, duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests, demands, certificates, and other instruments furnished by Borrower to Security Agent under any of the Operative Agreements.

Operative Agreements or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders, Security Agent or Borrower hereunder or thereunder, or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Majority in Interest of the Lenders may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Operative Agreements or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Equipment Note, extend the scheduled date of any payment of principal of any Equipment Note, reduce the stated rate of any interest payable on any Equipment Note or any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or, increase the amount or extend the expiration date of the Commitments, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii)(w) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Majority in Interest of the Lenders, (x) consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements or (y) reduce, modify or amend any indemnities in favor of Security Agent or the Lenders, in any such case without the consent of each Person affected thereby; (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10 without the written consent of Security Agent; or (v) take any action inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 11.1 without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby.

In the case of any waiver, Borrower, the Lenders and Security Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Each such amendment, supplement, waiver, modification, discharge, termination, or variance shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given. No provision of this Agreement shall be varied or contradicted by oral communication, course of dealing or performance, or other manner not set forth in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the same is sought.

A Tax Indemnitee shall be deemed to have actually and currently realized and utilized a Tax Benefit to the extent that, and at such time as, the amount of Taxes payable by the Tax Indemnitee is actually reduced below the amount of Taxes such Tax Indemnitee would be required to pay but for the incurrence or payment of such Loss or Taxes, computed in accordance with the ordering rules set forth above.

For purposes of this provision, “Similar Loans” means loans (i) in which the Tax Indemnitee or any affiliate thereof is a participant and with respect to which such Tax Indemnitee or affiliate is entitled to indemnification with respect to Taxes, and (ii) in which the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower with a similar or lesser credit as the Borrower.

(b) The determination of whether the Tax Indemnitee has realized a Tax Benefit and the calculation of the amount of such Tax Benefit shall be made by the Tax Indemnitee in the ordinary course of administering its Tax affairs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,

A-13

if the Borrower provides a Tax Indemnitee with a written notice setting forth facts and circumstances which create a reasonable possibility that a Tax Benefit has been realized with respect to an Indemnified Tax, such Tax Indemnitee shall agree to make a determination as to whether it has realized such a Tax Benefit.

In the event the preceding sentence is applicable, the Commitments of RBS shall be increased by an amount of such secured loan and the Commitment of such Assignee shall be reduced by an equivalent amount, effective on the date of such notice from RBS, as Assignor. In the event RBS makes such additional secured loan as aforesaid, the Assignee shall be liable to RBS, as Assignor, but not to the Borrower, for any damages attributable to its failure to make the secured loan in question which was made, instead, by RBS.

12. This Assignment and Assumption shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Assignment and Assumption to be executed as of the date first above written by their respective duly authorized officers.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall remain liable under the Mortgagor Agreements to perform all of the obligations that it assumes thereunder, except to the extent prohibited or excluded from doing so pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof, and Security Agent and the Lenders shall have no obligation or liability under the Mortgagor Agreements by reason of or arising out of the assignment hereunder, nor shall Security Agent and the Lenders be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of Borrower’s obligations under or pursuant to the Mortgagor Agreements, or, except as herein expressly provided, to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or present or file any claim, or take any action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

Borrower and Security Agent further agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS

The terms defined in Annex A, when capitalized as in Annex A, have the same meanings when used in this Mortgage. Annex A also contains rules of usage that control construction in this Mortgage.

2. THE EQUIPMENT NOTES

2.1 Form of Equipment Notes.

The Equipment Notes shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B.

2.2 Issuance and Terms of Equipment Notes.

The Equipment Notes shall be dated the date of the Closing Date and shall have the maturity and principal amounts and shall bear interest set forth therein. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall issue the Equipment Note to the Lenders. The Equipment Notes shall be registered in the Equipment Note Register (as defined in Section 2.6) at the time of issuance.

The Equipment Notes shall be executed on behalf of Borrower by one of its authorized officers. Equipment Notes bearing the signatures of individuals who were the proper officers of Borrower at the time of such execution shall bind Borrower, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices before the authentication and delivery of such Equipment Notes. Borrower may from time to time execute and deliver Equipment Notes with respect to the Aircraft to Security Agent for authentication upon original issue, and Security Agent thereupon shall authenticate and deliver such Equipment Notes upon Borrower’s written request signed by an authorized officer of Borrower. No Equipment Note shall be secured by or entitled to any benefit under this Mortgage, or be valid or obligatory for any purposes, unless there appears on such Equipment Note a certificate of authentication in the form provided for herein, executed by Security Agent by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, and such certificate upon any Equipment Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Equipment Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

The aggregate Original Amount of the Equipment Notes issued hereunder shall not exceed the amount set forth as the maximum therefor on Schedule 2 of the Loan Agreement.

2.3 Method of Payment.

(a) The Original Amount of, interest on, and other amount due under each Equipment Note or hereunder will be payable in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than 12:00 Noon, New York time, on the due date of payment to Security Agent for distribution in the manner provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Equipment Note to the contrary, Security Agent will pay or cause to be paid all amounts to be paid by Borrower hereunder and under any Equipment Note to the holder thereof (including all amounts distributed pursuant to Article 3 of this Mortgage) by transferring, or causing to be transferred, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars, promptly after receipt, to an account maintained by such holder with a bank located in the continental United States the amount to be distributed to such holder, for credit to the account of such holder

maintained at such bank. If Security Agent fails to initiate the transfer by federal wire transfer of any such payment as provided in the foregoing sentence after its receipt of funds by reason of its failure to use ordinary care in the handling of funds, Security Agent shall compensate such holders for loss of use of funds at the Debt Rate until such payment is made, and Security Agent shall be entitled to any interest earned on such funds until such payment is made. Any payment made hereunder shall be made without any presentment or surrender of any Equipment Note, except that, in the case of the final payment in respect of any Equipment Note, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to Security Agent for cancellation promptly after such payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Mortgage to the contrary, Security Agent shall not be required to make, or cause to be made, wire transfers as aforesaid before the first Business Day on which it is practicable for Security Agent to do so in view of the time of day when the funds to be so transferred were received by it if such funds were received after 12:00 Noon, New York time, at the place of payment. Before the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note, Borrower and Security Agent shall deem and treat the Person in whose name any Equipment Note is registered on the Equipment Note Register as the absolute owner and holder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Equipment Note and for all other purposes, and neither Borrower nor Security Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. So long as any signatory to the Loan Agreement or nominee thereof shall be a registered Lender, all payments to it shall be made to the account of such Lender specified in Schedule 1 of the Loan Agreement, and otherwise in the manner provided in or pursuant to the Loan Agreement, unless and until it specifies some other account or manner of payment by notice to Security Agent consistent with this Section 2.3.

(b) Security Agent (as agent for Borrower) shall exclude and withhold at the appropriate rate from each payment of Original Amount of, interest on, and other amounts due from Borrower to any Lender hereunder or under each Equipment Note any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by Law. Security Agent agrees (1) to act as such withholding agent in accordance with Treasury Regulation 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) and, in connection therewith, (2) whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required by applicable Law to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable by Borrower hereunder or in respect of the Equipment Notes, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Lenders, (3) to file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and (4) as promptly as possible after the payment thereof, to deliver to each Lender (with a copy to Borrower) appropriate receipts, if reasonably available, showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as any such Lender reasonably requests from time to time. In accordance with the foregoing, Security Agent further agrees to provide Borrower with a properly completed and executed Form W-8IMY certifying that Security Agent has agreed to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to payments received from Borrower hereunder. Such Form W-8IMY shall be provided by Security Agent prior to the due date of any amounts payable by Borrower hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, by failing to comply with this Section 2.3(b), Security Agent shall be in breach of the foregoing covenant and responsible for damages resulting therefrom.

(c) In the case of a Lender that is a Non-U.S. Person, such Lender shall furnish such Security Agent with a properly completed and executed withholding certificate on Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI (or any successor forms) and/or such other applicable documentation as may be necessary or desirable to enable such Lender to claim an exemption from, or reduced rate of, such taxes. Provided that such Lender has furnished Security Agent with the requested forms and other documentation duly executed by such Lender and has not notified Security Agent of the withdrawal or inaccuracy of such form prior to the date of each interest payment, only the reduced amount (if any) required by applicable law or treaty shall be withheld from payments under the Equipment Notes held by such Lender in respect of United States federal income tax. In the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person and (1) not an Exempt Recipient that has furnished to Security Agent a properly completed and currently effective U.S. Treasury Form W-9 or (2) that is an Exempt Recipient (not required to deliver an IRS Form W-8), no amount shall be withheld from payments under the Equipment Notes held by such Lender in respect of United States federal income tax. If any Lender has notified Security Agent that any of the foregoing forms or certificates is withdrawn or inaccurate, or if the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations thereunder or the administrative interpretation thereof are at any time after the date hereof amended to require such withholding of United States federal income taxes from payments under the Equipment Notes held by such Lender, or if such withholding is otherwise required, Security Agent agrees to withhold from each payment due to the relevant Lender withholding taxes at the appropriate rate under applicable law, and will, as more fully provided above, on a timely basis, deposit such amounts with an authorized depository and make such returns, filings, and other reports in connection therewith, and in the manner required under applicable Law. For purposes of this paragraph, an “Exempt Recipient” is a Person described in Code §6049(b)(4). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender that is a Non-U.S. Person shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(d) If, for any reason, Security Agent (or any successor institution acting as Security Agent) is unable to provide Borrower with a properly completed and executed Form W-8IMY, Borrower shall exclude and withhold at the appropriate rate from each payment of Original Amount of, interest on, and other amounts due from Borrower to any Lender hereunder or under each Equipment Note it holds any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by Law. Borrower agrees (1) whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required by applicable Law to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable hereunder or in respect of the Equipment Notes, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name and on behalf of the Lenders, (2) to file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and (3) as promptly as possible after the payment thereof, to deliver to each Lender appropriate receipts, if reasonably available, showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as any such Lender reasonably requests from time to time. Furthermore, all necessary documentation addressed in Section 2.3(c) hereof shall be furnished to Borrower prior to the due date of any amounts payable by Borrower hereunder to enable such Lender to claim an exemption from, or reduced rate of, such taxes.

(e) Borrower shall not have any liability hereunder to Security Agent or any Lender for Security Agent’s failure to withhold taxes in the manner provided for herein or for any false, inaccurate, or untrue evidence provided by any Lender hereunder.

2.4 Application of Payments.

Each payment of interest on, principal of, or other amounts under or in respect of each Equipment Note shall be applied:

FIRST: to pay any amount due hereunder or under such Equipment Note or the other Operative Agreements other than any amount designated under this Section 2.4 to be paid pursuant to clauses SECOND, THIRD or FOURTH;

SECOND: to pay accrued interest on and any Breakage Amount due under such Equipment Note (and any interest on any overdue Original Amount) to the date of such payment;

THIRD: to pay the Original Amount of such Equipment Note (or a portion thereof) then due thereunder; and

FOURTH: to pay the Original Amount of such Equipment Note remaining unpaid (provided, that such Equipment Note shall not be subject to redemption except as provided in Sections 2.9, 2.10, and 2.11 or pursuant to the exercise by Borrower of the Fixed Rate Option).

The amounts paid pursuant to clause “FOURTH” above shall be applied to the installments of Original Amount of such Equipment Note in the inverse order of their normal maturity.

2.5 Termination of Interest in Collateral.

No Lender shall have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the Collateral when and if the Original Amount of, and interest on and other amounts due under all Equipment Notes held by such Lender and all other Secured Obligations have been paid in full and this Mortgage has been terminated as provided in Section 8.1.

2.6 Registration, Transfer, and Exchange of Equipment Notes.

Security Agent shall keep a register (the “Equipment Note Register”) in which Security Agent shall provide for the registration of Equipment Notes and the registration of transfers of Equipment Notes. No such transfer shall be given effect unless and until registered hereunder. Security Agent shall keep the Equipment Note Register at its Administrative Office. Security Agent is hereby appointed “Equipment Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Equipment Notes and transfers of Equipment Notes as herein provided. A holder of any Equipment Note intending to exchange such Equipment Note shall surrender such Equipment Note to Security Agent at its Administrative Office, together with a written request from the registered holder thereof for the issuance of a new Equipment Note, specifying (in the case of a surrender for transfer) the name(s) and address(es) of the new holder(s). Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note, Borrower shall execute, and Security Agent shall authenticate

and deliver, in the name(s) of the designated transferee(s), one or more new Equipment Notes of a like aggregate Original Amount. At the Lender’s option, Equipment Notes may be exchanged for other Equipment Notes of any authorized denominations of a like aggregate Original Amount, upon surrender of the Equipment Notes to be exchanged to Security Agent at its Administrative Office. Whenever any Equipment Notes are so surrendered for exchange, Borrower shall execute, and Security Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Equipment Notes which the Lender making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Equipment Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes (whether under this Section 2.6 or under Section 2.7 or otherwise under this Mortgage) shall be the valid obligations of Borrower evidencing the same respective obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits under this Mortgage, as the Equipment Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Equipment Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, shall (if so required by Security Agent) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a Transfer Agreement as required under Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement in form satisfactory to Security Agent duly executed by the Lender or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Security Agent shall make a notation on each new Equipment Note of the amount of all payments of Original Amount previously made on the old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes with respect to which such new Equipment Note is issued and the date to which interest on such old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes has been paid. Interest shall be deemed to have been paid on such new Equipment Note to the date on which interest shall have been paid on such old Equipment Note, and all payments of the Original Amount marked on such new Equipment Note, as provided above, shall be deemed to have been made thereon. Security Agent shall not be required to exchange any surrendered Equipment Notes as provided above during the 10-day period preceding the due date of any payment on such Equipment Note. Borrower and Security Agent shall in all cases deem the Person in whose name any Equipment Note shall have been issued and registered as the absolute owner and holder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable by Borrower with respect to such Equipment Note, and for all other purposes, until Borrower receives from Security Agent a notice stating otherwise and such change is reflected on the Equipment Note Register. Security Agent will promptly notify Borrower of each registration of a transfer of an Equipment Note. Subject to compliance by the Lender and its transferee (if any) of the requirements in this Section 2.6, Security Agent and Borrower shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment Notes upon transfer or exchange within ten (10) Business Days of the date an Equipment Note is surrendered for transfer or exchange.

2.7 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost, or Stolen Equipment Notes.

If any Equipment Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen, upon the written request of the holder of such Equipment Note, Borrower shall execute, and Security Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in replacement thereof, a new Equipment Note, payable in the same Original Amount, dated the same date, and captioned as issued in connection with the Aircraft. If the Equipment Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to Security Agent and a photocopy thereof shall be furnished to Borrower. If the Equipment Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost, or stolen, the holder of such Equipment Note shall furnish to Borrower and Security Agent (a) such security or indemnity as they require to save Borrower and Security Agent harmless, and (b) evidence satisfactory to Borrower and Security Agent of the destruction, loss, or theft of such Equipment Note and of the

ownership thereof. If a “qualified institutional buyer” of the type referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(A), (B), (D), or (E) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “QIB”) is the holder of any such destroyed, lost, or stolen Equipment Note, then the written indemnity of such QIB, signed by an authorized officer thereof, in favor of, delivered to, and in form reasonably satisfactory to Borrower shall be accepted as satisfactory indemnity and security, and no further indemnity or security shall be required as a condition to the execution and delivery of such new Equipment Note. Subject to the Lender’s compliance with the requirements in this Section 2.7, Security Agent and Borrower shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment Notes within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the Lender’s written request therefor.

2.8 Payment of Expenses on Transfer; Cancellation.

(a) No service charge shall be made to a Lender for any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes, but Security Agent, as Equipment Note Registrar, may require payment from any such Lender of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes and any charges and expenses connected with such tax or other governmental charge paid or payable by Borrower or Security Agent, as the case may be.

(b) Security Agent shall cancel all Equipment Notes surrendered for replacement, redemption, transfer, exchange, payment, or cancellation, and shall destroy the cancelled Equipment Notes.

2.9 Mandatory Redemptions of Equipment Notes.

On the date on which Borrower is required pursuant to Section 4.5 to prepay the Equipment Notes following an Event of Loss to the Airframe, all Equipment Notes shall be redeemed in whole at a redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid Original Amount thereof, together with all accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption plus any Breakage Amount and all other Secured Obligations owed or then due and payable to the Lenders in respect thereto.

2.10 Voluntary Redemptions of Equipment Notes.

Borrower may redeem all or any part of the unpaid Original Amount of the Equipment Notes upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Security Agent and the Lenders. The Equipment Notes shall be redeemed in whole or in part without penalty or premium except as provided hereafter in this Section 2.10; provided, except in the case of a redemption of Equipment Notes with respect to which (1) Indemnified Withholding Taxes are then payable by Borrower pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Loan Agreement, (2) Increased Costs are then payable by Borrower and Borrower becomes entitled to prepay such Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Loan Agreement or (3) it becomes unlawful for a Lender to maintain the indebtedness evidenced by such Equipment Note and Borrower becomes entitled to prepay such Equipment Note pursuant to Section 4.7 of the Loan Agreement (each an “Optional Redemption Triggering Event”), in which event the affected Equipment Notes shall be redeemed in whole but not in part, Borrower may not redeem an aggregate unpaid Original Amount of less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or, if less, the then outstanding Original Amount thereof;

and provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Mortgage, the proceeds of any partial redemption shall be distributed by Security Agent to the Lenders ratably, except in the case of a redemption of Equipment Notes with respect to which an Optional Redemption Triggering Event shall occurred, in which case the proceeds of such redemption shall be distributed to the Lender or Lenders of the Equipment Notes to which such Optional Redemption Triggering Event relates. Borrower shall not be entitled to reborrow any amounts redeemed. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary (except in the case of a redemption of Equipment Notes with respect to which an Optional Redemption Triggering Event shall have occurred) Borrower may not redeem all or any part of any Equipment Note prior to the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date. Borrower shall pay, in addition to the redemption price, any Breakage Amount and all other Secured Obligations owing or then due and payable by Borrower to the Lenders in respect thereto.

2.11 Redemptions; Notice of Redemption.

(a) No voluntary or mandatory redemption of any unpaid Original Amount of the Equipment Notes may be made except to the extent and in the manner expressly contemplated by this Mortgage.

(b) In case of a voluntary or mandatory redemption, notice of such redemption with respect to the Equipment Notes shall be given by Security Agent by commercial courier service for next day delivery (or the nearest thereto as practicable), to each Lender of such Equipment Notes to be redeemed, at such Lender’s address appearing in the Equipment Note Register. Any notice of redemption pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable if not revoked by written notice from Borrower to Security Agent given not later than three (3) Business Days before the redemption date. All notices of redemption shall state: (1) the redemption date, (2) the redemption price (including any Breakage Amount), (3) the applicable basis for determining the redemption price, (4) that on the redemption date, the redemption price will become due and payable upon each such Equipment Note, and (5) the place or places where such Equipment Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and for exchange or cancellation (as the case may be).

(c) On or before the redemption date, Borrower (or any Person on behalf of Borrower) shall, to the extent an amount equal to the redemption price (including any Breakage Amount) for the Equipment Notes to be redeemed on the redemption date shall not then be held by Security Agent, deposit or cause to be deposited with Security Agent by 12:00 Noon New York time on the redemption date in immediately available funds the redemption price of the unpaid Original Amount of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed.

(d) If notice of redemption is given as aforesaid (and not revoked as contemplated in the proviso to Section 2.11(b)), then, on the redemption date, the unpaid Original Amount of Equipment Notes to be redeemed shall become due and payable at Security Agent’s Administrative Office or at any office or agency maintained for such purposes pursuant to Section 2.6, and all of the Equipment Notes shall be surrendered to Security Agent for cancellation (in case of a total redemption) or exchange (in case of a partial redemption). Upon surrender of any such Equipment Notes, the redemption price shall be distributed to such holder as provided in this Mortgage.

3. RECEIPT, DISTRIBUTION, AND APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS

3.1 Basic Distributions.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2 and Section 3.3, each periodic payment of principal or interest on the Equipment Notes received by Security Agent shall be promptly distributed so that so much of such payment as is required to pay in full the payment(s) of Original Amount and interest (and any interest on any overdue Original Amount) then due under all Equipment Notes shall be distributed to the Lenders ratably, without priority of one over the other, in the proportion that the amount of such payment(s) then due under each Equipment Note bears to the total amount of the payments then due under all Equipment Notes.

3.2 Event of Loss; Replacement; Optional Redemption.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3, any payments received by Security Agent (1) with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and one or more Engines as the result of a mandatory redemption upon an Event of Loss or (2) pursuant to an optional redemption of all of the unpaid Original Amount of the Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be applied to redeem the Equipment Notes and to all other Secured Obligations by applying such funds in the following order of priority:

FIRST, (a) to reimburse Security Agent and the Lenders for any reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with such redemption for which they are entitled to reimbursement, or indemnity by Borrower, under the Operative Agreements, and then (b) to pay any other Secured Obligations then due (except as provided in clause “SECOND” below) to Security Agent and the Lenders under this Mortgage, the Loan Agreement, or the Equipment Notes (other than amounts specified in clause SECOND of this Section 3.2);

SECOND, to pay the amounts specified in Section 2.10 (if applicable) and clause “SECOND” of Section 3.3, plus any applicable Breakage Amount; and

THIRD, as provided in clause “FOURTH” of Section 3.3;

provided, that if a Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine is substituted for the Airframe or Engine subject to such Event of Loss as provided in Section 4.5, any insurance, condemnation or similar proceeds which result from such Event of Loss and are paid over to Security Agent shall be held by Security Agent as part of the Collateral (provided, that such moneys shall be invested as provided in Article 6) as additional security for the obligations of Borrower under the Operative Agreements, and such proceeds (and such investment earnings), to the extent not theretofore applied as provided herein, shall be released to Borrower at Borrower’s written request upon the release of such Airframe or Engine and the replacement thereof as provided herein; provided, if a Default or Event of Default then exists, Security Agent shall continue to hold (and apply) such proceeds as provided herein until such Default or Event of Default no longer exists, in which case Security Agent shall release the remaining portion of such proceeds (and of such investment earnings) over to Borrower.

3.3 Payments after Event of Default.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4, all payments received and amounts held or realized by Security Agent (including any amounts realized by Security Agent from the exercise of any remedies pursuant to Article 5) if an Event of Default exists and after the acceleration specified in Section 5.2(b), as well as all payments or amounts then held by Security Agent as part of the Collateral, shall be promptly distributed by Security Agent in the following order of priority:

FIRST, so much of such payments or amounts as shall be required to reimburse Security Agent for any tax (except to the extent resulting from a failure of Security Agent to withhold taxes pursuant to Section 2.3(b) unless such failure of Security Agent to withhold is as a result of or caused by any breach by Borrower of its obligations, representations or covenants under any of the Operative Agreements), expense, or other loss (including all amounts to be expended at the expense of, or charged upon the rents, revenues, issues, products, and profits of, the property included in the Collateral (all such property being herein the “Mortgaged Property”) pursuant to Section 5.3(b)) incurred by Security Agent (to the extent not previously reimbursed), the expenses of any sale, or other proceeding, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs, and any other expenditures incurred or expenditures or advances made by Security Agent or the Lenders in the protection, exercise, or enforcement of any right, power, or remedy or any damages sustained by Security Agent or any Lender, liquidated or otherwise, upon such Event of Default shall be applied by Security Agent as between itself and the Lenders to reimburse (x) such expenses and (y) any other expenses for which Security Agent or the Lenders are entitled to reimbursement under any Operative Agreement; and if the aggregate amount to be so distributed is insufficient to pay all amounts described above, then ratably, without priority of one over the other, in proportion to the amounts owed each hereunder;

SECOND, so much of such payments or amounts remaining as shall be required to pay in full the unpaid Original Amount of the Equipment Notes, and the accrued but unpaid interest, any Breakage Amount and other amounts due thereon and on all other Secured Obligations in respect of the Equipment Notes to the date of distribution, shall be distributed to the Lenders, and if the amount so to be distributed is insufficient to pay in full, then ratably, without priority of one over the other, in the proportion that (x) the unpaid Original Amount of the Equipment Notes held by each holder plus the accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts due hereunder or thereunder to the distribution date, bears to (y) the aggregate unpaid Original Amount of the Equipment Notes held by all such holders plus the accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts due thereon to the distribution date;

THIRD, subject to Section 7.5 of the Loan Agreement, so much of such payments or amounts remaining as is required to pay in full all other Secured Obligations, whether or not then due (by reason of acceleration or otherwise), in the following order: (1) unpaid principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all Related Notes issued under the Related Loan Agreements and all other Related Obligations thereto, pro rata as to amounts outstanding; (2) unpaid principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all PDP Notes and all other Related Obligations thereto, pro rata as to amounts outstanding; and (3) any other Secured Obligations on a pro rata basis; and

FOURTH, the balance, if any, of such payments or amounts remaining thereafter shall be distributed as required by any provision of Law, and the balance, if any, to or as directed by Borrower.

3.4 Certain Payments.

(a) Any payments that Security Agent receives, and that this Mortgage (other than this Section 3.4) does not provide how to apply but any other Operative Agreement does provide how to apply or for whose benefit such payment was received, shall be applied forthwith to the purpose for which such payment was made in accordance with such other Operative Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 3, Security Agent will distribute promptly upon receipt any indemnity payment that it receives from Borrower in respect of any Lender or any other Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee, in each case whether or not pursuant to Section 9 of the Loan Agreement, directly to the Person entitled thereto.

(c) Payments that Security Agent receives under the Holdings Guarantee shall be distributed in the same manner as the payments to which such payments relate would be distributed had such payments been received by Security Agent.

3.5 Other Payments.

Security Agent shall distribute any payments that it receives, and that the Operative Agreements (other than this Section 3.5) do not provide how to apply, as specified in Section 3.1; and after payment in full of all amounts then due in accordance with Section 3.1, then in the manner provided in clause “FOURTH” of Section 3.3.

4. BORROWER’S COVENANTS

4.1 Liens.

Borrower will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume, or suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to the Airframe or any Engine or any other Collateral, title to any of the foregoing, or any interest of Borrower therein, except Permitted Liens. Borrower shall promptly, at its own expense, take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge (by bonding or otherwise) any such Lien other than a Permitted Lien arising at any time.

4.2 Possession; Operation and Use; Maintenance; Registration; Markings.

(a) General. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Borrower shall be entitled to operate, use, locate, employ, or otherwise utilize or not utilize the Airframe, any Engine or any Parts in any lawful manner or place in accordance with Borrower’s business judgment.

(b) Possession. Borrower shall not, without Security Agent’s prior written consent, lease or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer, or relinquish possession of the

Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine, or install any Engine, or permit any Engine to be installed, on any airframe other than the Airframe; except that Borrower may, without such prior written consent:

(1) subject or permit any Permitted Lessee to subject (aa) the Airframe to normal interchange agreements or (bb) any Engine to normal interchange agreements or pooling agreements or arrangements, in each case customary in the commercial airline industry and entered into by Borrower or such Permitted Lessee in the ordinary course of business; provided, that (i) no such agreement or arrangement contemplates (other than as contemplated with respect to an Event of Loss) or requires the transfer of title to the Airframe or any Engine and (ii) if Borrower’s title to any such Airframe or Engine is divested under any such agreement or arrangement, then such Airframe or Engine shall be deemed to have suffered an Event of Loss as of the date of such divestiture, and Borrower shall comply with Sections 4.4(e) or 4.5 (as the case may be) in respect thereof;

(2) deliver or permit any Permitted Lessee to deliver possession of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any Part (aa) to the manufacturer thereof or to any third-party maintenance provider (approved by the Aviation Authority for that Aircraft, Airframe, Engine or Part) for testing, service, repair, maintenance, or overhaul work on the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any Part, or, to the extent required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement, for alterations or modifications in or additions to the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine, or (bb) to any Person for the purpose of transport to a Person referred to in the preceding clause (aa);

(3) install or permit any Permitted Lessee to install an Engine on an airframe owned by Borrower or such Permitted Lessee free and clear of all Liens, except (aa) Permitted Liens and those that do not apply to the Engines, and (bb) the rights of third parties under normal interchange or pooling agreements and arrangements of the type permitted under Section 4.2(b)(1);

(4) install or permit any Permitted Lessee to install an Engine on an airframe leased to Borrower or such Permitted Lessee, or purchased or owned by Borrower or such Permitted Lessee subject to a security agreement, conditional sale, or other secured financing arrangement, but only if (aa) such airframe is free and clear of all Liens, except (i) the rights of the parties to such lease, or any such secured financing arrangement, covering such airframe, and (ii) Liens of the type permitted by clause (3) of this Section 4.2(b), and (bb) Borrower or Permitted Lessee has received from the lessor, secured party, or conditional seller in respect of such airframe, a written agreement (which may be a copy of the lease, security agreement, conditional sale agreement, or other agreement covering such airframe), whereby such Person agrees that it will not acquire or claim any right, title, or interest in, or Lien on, such Engine by reason of the installation of such Engine on such airframe at any time while such Engine is subject to the Lien of this Mortgage;

(5) install or permit any Permitted Lessee to install an Engine on an airframe owned by or leased to Borrower or such Permitted Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement under circumstances where neither clause (3) nor clause (4) of this Section 4.2(b) applies; provided, that any such installation shall be deemed an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine, and Borrower shall comply with Section 4.4(e) in respect thereof;

(6) transfer or permit any Permitted Lessee to transfer possession of the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine to (aa) a U.S. Governmental Entity pursuant to CRAF or (bb) to a U.S. Governmental Entity when required by applicable Law, as the case may be. Neither such event shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to be an Event of Loss. Borrower shall promptly notify (to the extent Borrower is permitted to do so by applicable U.S. Law) Security Agent in writing of any such transfer and such notification shall identify the name, address and telephone number of the Contracting Office Representative or Representatives for Military Airlift Command of the United States Air Force to whom notices must be given and to whom requests or claims must be made to the extent applicable under CRAF;

(7) enter into a Wet Lease with respect to the Aircraft or any other aircraft on which any Engine may be installed (which shall not be considered a transfer of possession hereunder); provided, that Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any Wet Lease and provided, further that Borrower shall promptly notify Security Agent in writing if any Wet Lease in respect of the Aircraft is more than six (6) months in duration (and the Aircraft is the only aircraft that is subject to such Wet Lease);

(8) if no Event of Default exists, and subject to the following paragraphs, enter into a lease (a “Permitted Lease”) with respect to the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine with any Permitted Air Carrier or Permitted Manufacturer who is not then subject to any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, or similar proceeding or with a U.S. Governmental Entity (other than with any branch of the military of the U.S. Government), subject to compliance with the following conditions:

(i) Borrower shall give at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Security Agent of any Permitted Lease under specifying (a) the Permitted Lessee, (b) the term of the Permitted Lease, (c) the domicile of the Permitted Lessee, and (d) the country in which the Aircraft is to be ordinarily stored overnight by such Permitted Lessee (as contemplated by the Permitted Lease). Such notice shall be accompanied by the proposed lease agreement.

(ii) Any Permitted Lease shall include appropriate provisions:

(A)

requiring the maintenance, inspection, insurance, operation and inspection of the Aircraft, Airframe or Engine(s) leased

thereby to be in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Mortgage,

(B)

requiring the Permitted Lessee to keep the Aircraft, Airframe or Engine(s) leased thereby free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens,

(C)

prohibiting further sublease (except as provided below) of the Aircraft, Airframe or Engine(s),

(D)

containing in the case of a proposed lease to a Permitted Foreign Air Carrier, an express waiver by such lessee of the defense of sovereign immunity (1) in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to such Permitted Lease and (2) with respect to the defense of such lessee’s property from execution or attachment,

(E)

providing that the Aircraft shall not be operated or used, and shall be grounded if the insurance coverages required by the terms of Section 4.6 of this Mortgage are not in effect, and

(F)

requiring Permitted Lessee to ensure that registration of the Aircraft in the name of Borrower under the Transportation Code except as permitted in Section 4.2(c), and

(G)

such other terms and conditions as may be reasonably requested by the Security Agent in connection with a Permitted Lease to a U.S. Governmental Entity.

(iii) in the case of a lease to a Permitted Foreign Air Carrier, Security Agent shall receive evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that: (1) all necessary approvals from any Governmental Entity required for the leased Airframe or any leased Engine or engine, as the case may be, to be imported and, to the extent reasonably obtainable and reasonably requested, exported from the applicable country of domicile upon repossession of such equipment by Security Agent shall have been obtained prior to the importation of the imported Airframe and/or Engine under any such lease; and (2) the insurance requirements of Section 4.6 and Annex B are satisfied; and

(iv) in connection with any Permitted Lease to a Permitted Foreign Air Carrier, Borrower shall obtain at its own cost, as a condition to the delivery to the proposed Permitted Lessee of the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, an opinion from reputable counsel selected by Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Security Agent located in the country of such Permitted Lessee’s domicile (or, if Borrower determines during the term of the Permitted Lease that the Aircraft or Airframe or any Engine will be based or primarily used in a country other than the

country of such Permitted Lessee’s domicile, an additional opinion or opinions of reputable counsel selected by Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Security Agent located in such other country) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Security Agent;

provided, that (1) the rights of any transferee who receives possession by reason of a transfer permitted by this Section 4.2(b) (other than by a transfer of an Engine which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and subordinate to this Mortgage and to Security Agent’s rights, powers and remedies hereunder, (2) Borrower shall remain primarily liable for the performance of this Mortgage and all the terms and conditions of this Mortgage and the other Operative Agreements shall remain in effect to the same extent as if such transfer had not occurred, and no transfer of possession of the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine or any failure of performance under or with respect to such transfers shall in any way discharge (except to the extent performed by such transferee) or diminish any of Borrower’s obligations to Security Agent hereunder or under any Operative Agreement, and (3) no lease or transfer of possession otherwise in compliance with this Section 4.2(b) shall (aa) result in any registration or re-registration of the Aircraft (except to the extent permitted by Section 4.2(e)) or the maintenance, operation, or use thereof except in compliance with Sections 4.2(c) and 4.2(d), or (bb) permit any action not permitted to Borrower hereunder.

In the case of any Permitted Lease, Borrower will include in such lease appropriate provisions which (x) make such lease expressly subject and subordinate to this Mortgage and (y) require that the Airframe or any Engine subject thereto be used in accordance with the limitations applicable to Borrower’s possession and use provided in this Mortgage and provide for the maintenance and inspection of the Aircraft in the same manner in all material respects as the applicable provisions of this Mortgage.

No Permitted Lessee may sublease the Airframe or any Engine, except that a Permitted Manufacturer or Affiliate of Borrower that is a Permitted Lessee may sublease to any Permitted Lessee to whom a lease would be permitted under this Section 4.2; provided that (A) such sublease shall not permit any sub-subleasing of the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine (and Borrower shall ensure that the same does not occur), (B) such sublease shall be assigned to Borrower to secure such Permitted Manufacturer’s obligations under its lease pursuant to a sublease assignment and sublessee consent each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Security Agent, and (C) Borrower shall comply, and shall cause such sublease to comply, with all requirements and conditions of this Section 4.2 as if such sublease were a direct lease from Borrower to the sublessee. Borrower shall reimburse Security Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with any such lease or sublease. Except as otherwise provided herein and without in any way relieving Borrower from its primary obligation for the performance of its obligations under this Mortgage, Borrower may in its sole discretion permit a lessee to exercise any or all rights which Borrower would be entitled to exercise under Section 4.2 and Section 4.4, and may cause a lessee to perform any or all of Borrower’s obligations under Article 4, and Security Agent agrees to accept actual and full performance thereof by a lessee in lieu of performance by Borrower.

Security Agent hereby agrees, and each Lender by acceptance of an Equipment Note agrees, for the benefit of each lessor, conditional seller, or secured party of any engine leased, purchased, or owned by Borrower or any Permitted Lessee subject to a lease, conditional sale, or other security agreement that Security Agent, each Lender, and their respective successors and assigns will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor, conditional seller, or secured party, any right, title, or interest in any engine as the result of the installation of such engine on the Airframe at any time while such engine is subject to such lease, conditional sale, or other security agreement and owned by such lessor or conditional seller or subject to a security interest in favor of such secured party; provided, Borrower or any Permitted Lessee has received from any such lessor, secured party, or conditional seller in respect of any airframe leased, purchased or owned by Borrower or any Permitted Lessee, a written agreement (which may be a copy of the lease, security agreement, conditional sale agreement, or other agreement covering such airframe), whereby such Person agrees that neither it nor its successors will acquire or claim any right, title, or interest in an Engine by reason of the installation of such Engine on any such airframe at any time while such Engine is subject to the Lien of this Mortgage.

As security for Borrower’s due and punctual payment and performance of all of its covenants and obligations in the Operative Agreements, Borrower hereby grants to Security Agent a security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title, and interest in and to each Permitted Lease having a term in excess of one year of any Aircraft, Airframe, or Engine, including with respect to all payments, including payments of rent, insurance proceeds (other than public liability insurance proceeds), and other amounts due or to become due thereunder. Borrower shall enter into a “Lease Assignment” and a “Lessee Consent” each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Security Agent with respect to each Permitted Lease of the Airframe having a term of one or more years. In connection therewith Borrower shall cause (subject to the consent of the Security Agent) an assignment of associated rights with respect to such Permitted Lease to be registered with the International Registry, and in addition shall take such additional actions as are required under Section 6.1 of the Loan Agreement.

(c) Operation and Use. Borrower shall not operate, use, or locate the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine, or allow the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine to be operated, used, or located, (1) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required by Section 4.6, except in the case of a requisition by the U.S. Government where Borrower obtains (and provides evidence of) an indemnity in lieu of such insurance from the U.S. Government, or insurance from the U.S. Government, against substantially the same risks and for at least the amounts of the insurance required by Section 4.6 covering such area, or (2) in any recognized area of hostilities unless covered in accordance with Section 4.6 by war risk insurance, or in either case unless the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine is only temporarily operated, used, or located in such area as a result of an emergency, equipment malfunction, navigational error, hijacking, weather condition, or other similar unforeseen circumstance, so long as Borrower diligently and in good faith proceeds to remove the Aircraft from such area. Borrower shall not permit the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine to be used, operated, maintained, serviced, repaired or overhauled (x) in violation of any Law binding on or applicable to such Aircraft, Airframe, or Engine or (y) in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration of any Governmental Entity relating to the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine, except (i) immaterial or non-recurring violations with respect to which corrective

measures are taken promptly by Borrower or Permitted Lessee upon discovery thereof, or (ii) to the extent the validity or application of any such Law or requirement relating to any such certificate, license, or registration is being contested in good faith by Borrower or Permitted Lessee in any reasonable manner which does not involve any material risk of the sale, forfeiture, or loss of the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine, any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty against Security Agent or any Lender or impair in any material respect Security Agent’s or any Lender’s interest in the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine. The Aircraft shall not be operated or used (except in the course of customary maintenance so long as ground insurance is in effect), and shall be grounded, if the insurance coverage required by the terms of Section 4.6 are not in effect.

(d) Maintenance and Repair. At its own cost and expense, Borrower shall cause the Aircraft, the Airframe, and each Engine (and any engine that is not an Engine but installed on the Aircraft) to be maintained, serviced, repaired, and overhauled in accordance with (1) while operated by Borrower, Borrower’s FAA-approved maintenance program and, while operated by a Permitted Lessee, Permitted Lessee’s Approved Maintenance Program, (in either case, the “Maintenance Program”) so as (aa) to keep the Aircraft, the Airframe, and each Engine in as good operating condition as on the Closing Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and (bb) to keep the Aircraft in such operating condition as may be necessary to enable the applicable airworthiness certification of the Aircraft to be maintained under the regulations of the FAA or other Aviation Authority then having jurisdiction over the operation of the Aircraft (but in any event in accordance with the Maintenance Program), except during (x) temporary periods of storage during which time appropriate storage maintenance will be performed in accordance with applicable regulations, (y) maintenance and modification permitted hereunder, or (z) periods when the FAA or such other Aviation Authority has revoked or suspended the airworthiness certificates for Similar Aircraft; and (2) except during periods when a Permitted Lease is in effect, the same standards as Borrower uses with respect to Similar Aircraft in its fleet operated by Borrower in similar circumstances and, during any period in which a Permitted Lease is in effect, in accordance with the Maintenance Program of the Permitted Lessee. Borrower further agrees that the Aircraft, the Airframe, and Engines will be maintained, used, serviced, repaired, overhauled, or inspected in compliance with applicable Laws with respect to the maintenance of the Aircraft and in compliance with each applicable airworthiness certificate, license, and registration relating to the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine issued by the Aviation Authority, other than minor or nonrecurring violations with respect to which corrective measures are taken upon discovery thereof and except to the extent Borrower or Permitted Lessee is contesting in good faith the validity or application of any such Law or requirement relating to any such certificate, license, or registration in any reasonable manner which does not create any material risk of sale, loss, or forfeiture of the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine or the interest of Security Agent or any Lender therein, or any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty against Security Agent or any Lender. Borrower shall maintain or cause to be maintained the Aircraft Documents in English (except that, during the term of any Permitted Lease to a Permitted Lessee who is a Permitted Foreign Air Carrier, such Permitted Lessee may maintain Aircraft Records in the primary language of the country in which such Permitted Lessee is located; provided, certified translations shall be made into English of all such Aircraft Records by

appropriate translators qualified to an internationally recognizable standard on an ongoing basis and no less frequently than once each year and provided that each such translated document shall be further endorsed by the official stamp, or certified signature of the accountable manager with responsibility for quality control of the Permitted Foreign Air Carrier).

(e) Registration. On or as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, Borrower shall cause the Aircraft to be duly registered in its name under the Transportation Code, or as otherwise permitted by this Section 4.2(e), and cause (subject to the consent of the Airframe Manufacturer) the sale of the Airframe and each Engine effected by the Bills of Sale to be duly registered with the International Registry and at all times thereafter shall cause the Aircraft to remain so registered. Borrower shall be entitled to register the Aircraft or cause the Aircraft to be registered in a Permitted Country or another country with the prior written approval of Security Agent if: (1) such proposed change of registration is made in connection with a Permitted Lease; (2) no Event of Default is in existence, (3) Borrower and Permitted Lessee shall duly register with the appropriate Governmental Entity of such country Borrower’s interest as the owner and Security Agent’s Lien in and to the Aircraft and shall, at all times thereafter, cause the same to remain so duly registered unless and until such time as the registration of the Aircraft is changed as provided herein, and shall cause to be done, at all times all other acts including the filing, recording and delivery of any document or instrument or, by reference to prudent industry practice in such country, that Security Agent deems reasonably necessary or advisable in order to create, preserve and protect such interest in the Aircraft as against Borrower and any third parties, (4) all insurance provided for in the Operative Agreements shall be in full force and effect before, at the time of, and after such change in registration, and Security Agent and each Lender shall receive a certificate of Borrower’s or Permitted Lessee’s insurance broker to such effect; (5) none of Security Agent or the Lenders shall be subjected to any adverse tax consequence for which Borrower is not required to indemnify such person as a result of such re-registration, unless Borrower agrees to indemnify such Person therefor in a manner reasonably acceptable to such Person; and (6) Security Agent receives an opinion of reputable counsel selected by Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Security Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Security Agent. Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of a proposed change in registration (specifying the jurisdiction involved) accompanied by a draft of all required documents. Borrower shall reimburse Security Agent and the Lenders for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with any such change in registration meeting the requirements of this paragraph (e). Security Agent and each Lender agrees to cooperate with Borrower to the extent reasonably necessary to enable it to effectuate such change in registration. Borrower shall also cause (A) this Mortgage to be duly recorded and at all times maintained of record as a first-priority perfected mortgage (subject to Permitted Liens) on the Aircraft, the Airframe, and each of the Engines and (B) the International Interest in the Airframe and each Engine constituted by this Mortgage to be duly registered on the International Registry as a first priority International Interest.

(f) Markings. On or reasonably promptly after the Closing Date, Borrower will cause to be affixed to, and maintained in, the cockpit of the Airframe and on each Engine, in each case, in a clearly visible location, a placard of a reasonable size and shape bearing the legend: “Subject to a security interest in favor of The Royal Bank of Scotland, as Security Agent.” Such placards may be removed temporarily, if necessary, in the course of maintenance of the Airframe or Engines and promptly replaced thereafter. If any such placard is damaged or becomes illegible, Borrower shall promptly replace it with a placard complying with the requirements of this Section 4.2(f).

(g) Information for Filings. Borrower shall promptly furnish to Security Agent such information within Borrower’s possession or reasonably available or obtainable by Borrower (without out-of-pocket cost or expense to Borrower unless Security Agent reimburses Borrower for such out-of-pocket cost or expense) as may be required to enable Security Agent timely to file any reports required to be filed by it as Security Agent under this Mortgage with any Governmental Entity because of, or in connection with, the interest of Security Agent in the Aircraft, the Airframe or the Engines, or any other part of the Collateral; provided, however, that with respect to any such information which Borrower reasonably deems commercially sensitive or confidential, Security Agent, so long as delay in providing such information will not expose Security Agent to any risk of criminal liability or any material risk of material civil liability, shall afford Borrower a reasonable opportunity to seek from any such Governmental Entity a waiver of the obligation to provide any such information, or a consent to the filing of such information directly by Borrower in lieu of filing by Security Agent, and if any such waiver or consent is evidenced to the reasonable satisfaction of Security Agent then Borrower shall not be required to furnish such information to Security Agent

4.3 Inspection.

(a) At all reasonable times, Security Agent or its authorized representatives (the “Inspecting Parties”) may (not more than once every twelve (12) months, unless an Event of Default exists, then such inspection right shall not be so limited) inspect the Aircraft and the Aircraft Documents.

(b) Any inspection of the Aircraft hereunder shall be limited to a visual, internal and external walk-around inspection, and shall not include the opening of any panels, bays, or other components of the Aircraft (other than inspection panels which may be opened and closed by hand and without the use of tools in the course of normal line maintenance access), and no such inspection shall interfere with Borrower’s or any Permitted Lessee’s maintenance or operation of the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine.

(c) With respect to such rights of inspection, Security Agent shall not have any duty or liability to make, or any duty or liability by reason of not making, any such visit, inspection or survey.

(d) Each Inspecting Party shall bear its own expenses in connection with any such inspection, unless an Event of Default exists, then Borrower shall reimburse each Inspecting Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such inspection.

4.4 Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations, Modifications, and Additions; Substitution of Engines.

(a) Replacement of Parts. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower, at its own cost and expense, will promptly replace (or cause to be replaced) all Parts that are from time to time incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft, and that become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair, or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, at its own cost and expense, may remove (or cause to be removed) in the ordinary course of business, fleet management, maintenance, service, repair, overhaul, or testing any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair, or permanently rendered unfit for use; provided, that, except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower will replace or cause the replacement of such Parts as promptly as practicable but in no case later than 90 days. All replacement parts (other than replacement parts installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine on a temporary basis) shall be owned by Borrower or, as the case may be, the Permitted Lessee and shall be free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens and pooling arrangements to the extent permitted by Section 4.4(c), and shall be in good operating condition and (except in the case of replacement parts installed in or attached to the Airframe on a temporary basis) have a value, remaining useful life and utility not less than the value, remaining useful life and utility of the Parts replaced (assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition required hereunder) and such replacement shall have documentation meeting the applicable requirements of the FAA or other Aviation Authority then having jurisdiction over the Aircraft.

(b) Removal of Parts. Except as otherwise provided herein, any Part at any time removed from the Airframe or any Engine shall remain subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, no matter where located, until it is replaced by a part that has been incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine and that meets the requirements for replacement parts specified above. Except with respect to replacement parts installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine on a temporary basis, as soon as a replacement part is incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine as provided in Section 4.4(a), without further act, (1) the replaced part shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights of Security Agent and shall no longer be a Part hereunder, and (2) such replacement part shall become a Part hereunder and subject to this Mortgage and be part of such Airframe or Engine for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or Engine.

(c) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Aircraft may be subjected by Borrower or a Permitted Lessee to a normal pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry and entered into in the ordinary course of business of Borrower or Permitted Lessee, provided, that the part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine in accordance with Section 4.4(a)

and Section 4.4(b) as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part and the Person using the removed part in the course of its participation in such pooling arrangement complies with the documentation and maintenance requirements of the FAA or the Aviation Authority then having jurisdiction over the Aircraft. In addition, any replacement part when incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine may be owned by any third party, subject to a normal pooling arrangement, so long as Borrower or a Permitted Lessee, as promptly thereafter as practicable, either (1) causes such replacement part to become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens, at which time such replacement part shall become a Part, or (2) replaces (or causes to be replaced) such replacement part by incorporating or installing in or attaching to the Aircraft a further replacement part owned by Borrower or, as the case may be, a Permitted Lessee free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens and which shall become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage in accordance with Section 4.4(b).

(d) Alterations, Modifications, and Additions. Borrower shall make (or cause to be made) alterations and modifications in and additions to the Aircraft as may be required to be made from time to time to meet the applicable standards of the FAA or other Aviation Authority having jurisdiction over the operation of the Aircraft, to the extent made mandatory in respect of the Aircraft (a “Mandatory Modification”); provided, that Borrower or a Permitted Lessee may, in good faith and by appropriate procedure, contest the validity or application of any law, rule, regulation, or order in any reasonable manner which does not adversely affect in any material respect Security Agent’s interest in the Aircraft and does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture, or loss of the Aircraft or the interest of Security Agent or any Lender therein, or any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty being imposed on Security Agent or any Lender. In addition, Borrower at its own cost and expense may make or permit to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine (each an “Optional Modification”) as Borrower or a Permitted Lessee deems desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including removal of Parts which Borrower deems are obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use in the Aircraft; provided, that no such Optional Modification shall (1) diminish the fair market value, utility, or useful life of the Aircraft or any Engine below its fair market value, utility, or useful life immediately before such Optional Modification (assuming the Aircraft or such Engine was in the condition required by this Mortgage immediately before such Optional Modification), (2) impair the airworthiness of the Airframe or the Engine, (3) involve structural modification to the Airframe that would be inconsistent with the use of the Aircraft as an aircraft in passenger configuration or (4) cause the Aircraft to cease to have the applicable standard certificate of airworthiness. Borrower or a Permitted Lessee shall obtain all supplemental type certificates for any modification that is a major modification in accordance with the applicable regulations of the FAA. Except as otherwise provided herein, all Parts (other than Removable Parts) incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft as a result of such Optional Modification shall, without further act, become subject to this Mortgage. Borrower or any Permitted Lessee may, at any time so long as the Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, remove any such Part (such Part being referred to herein as a “Removable Part”) from such Airframe or an Engine if (i) such Part is in addition to, and not in replacement of or in substitution for,

any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of, or in substitution for, any such original Part, (ii) such Part is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to such Airframe or any Engine pursuant to Section 4.2(d) or the first sentence of this Section 4.4(d), and (iii) such Part can be removed from such Airframe or any Engine without diminishing the fair market value, utility, or remaining useful life which such Airframe or any Engine would have had at the time of removal had such removal not been effected, assuming the Aircraft was otherwise maintained in the condition required by this Mortgage and such Removable Part had not been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft. No Removable Part shall be subject to the Lien of this Mortgage. Removable Parts may be leased from or financed by third parties other than Security Agent; provided, the Lien related to any such lease or financing shall not extend beyond the Removable Parts subject to such lease or financing. For the avoidance of any doubt, Security Agent and Borrower acknowledge and agree that any and all in-flight entertainment equipment (“IFE”) installed in the Aircraft (whether before or after delivery thereof) shall be deemed to be a Removable Part for all purposes of this Mortgage, but only to the extent and for so long as such IFE is not owned by Borrower or is subject to lease or a secured financing arrangement by third parties other than Security Agent; provided, that:

(1) the owner or financier of the IFE will have no lien on or against the Aircraft and no rights with respect to the Aircraft except the right to remove the IFE from such Aircraft if such owner, financier or Borrower repairs and restores the Aircraft as provided below;

(2) prior to the installation of any IFE, Borrower shall provide Security Agent with the identity of the owner or financier of such IFE. Security Agent acknowledges that (i) the IFE will not constitute a Part or a part of the Aircraft, and (ii) the IFE will not become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage; and

(3) such right of installation and removal is subject to and conditional upon any such owner or financier repairing or causing to be repaired any damage to the Aircraft in connection therewith and restoring both cosmetically and functionally those systems and fittings affected by the removal of such IFE and paying (and holding Security Agent and the Lenders harmless with respect to) all costs, expenses and liabilities in connection therewith.

Security Agent further agrees that parts installed on the Engine (whether before or after delivery thereof) to increase the thrust setting of any such Engine to a thrust setting greater than a B20 rating shall each be deemed to be a Removable Part for all purposes of this Mortgage; provided, however, that upon removal of any such parts to reduce the thrust setting back to the B20 rating, the appropriate parts are installed to restore the affected Engine to the B20 rating; provided, further, that if it is necessary for operational reasons to reduce the thrust setting of any such Engine to a thrust setting below a B20 rating, then Parts removed for that purpose shall not be deemed to be Removable Parts and shall continue to be subject to the Lien of this Mortgage until such time as they have been reinstalled or replaced by Parts which increase the thrust setting to B20 or higher.

(e) Substitution of Engines. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.4(e), (A) Borrower shall have the right at its option at any time, on at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Security Agent, to substitute for any Engine, and (B) if an Event of Loss to an Engine occurs under circumstances in which an Event of Loss to the Airframe has not occurred, Borrower shall within 90 days of the occurrence of such Event of Loss substitute for any Engine, a Replacement Engine, free and clear of Liens (other than Permitted Liens not of record). In such event, immediately upon the effectiveness of such substitution in accordance with this Section 4.4(e) and without further act, (1) the replaced Engine shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights of Security Agent and the Lien of this Mortgage and shall no longer be deemed an Engine hereunder, (2) such Replacement Engine shall become subject to this Mortgage and be deemed part of the Aircraft for all purposes hereof to the same extent as was the replaced Engine. Such Replacement Engine shall be an engine manufactured by Engine Manufacturer that is the same model as the Engine being replaced thereby, or an improved model (but in any event the same model as the other Engine then subject to this Mortgage), and that is suitable for installation and use on the Airframe with the other Engine, and that has a value, utility, and remaining useful life (without regard to hours and/or cycles since last overhaul) at least equal to the Engine being replaced thereby (assuming that such Engine had been maintained in accordance with this Mortgage and was in the condition required hereunder) and that such Replacement Engine shall not have more hours or cycles since new (whichever is applicable) than the Airframe and the Life Limited Parts installed thereon do not have on average a higher collective number of cycles since new than the Life Limited Parts of the Engine being replaced and (3) has all necessary Aircraft Documents required by and maintained in conformity with the applicable regulations of the FAA or other Aviation Authority then having jurisdiction over the Aircraft. In connection with any such substitution, Borrower shall be required to fulfill the following conditions at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, and Security Agent shall cooperate reasonably with Borrower to enable Borrower timely to satisfy such conditions:

(1) an executed counterpart of each of the following documents shall be delivered to Security Agent:

(aa) a supplement to this Mortgage, covering the Replacement Engine and incorporating this Mortgage, which shall be duly filed for recordation pursuant to the Transportation Code or such other applicable law of the jurisdiction other than the United States in which the aircraft of which such Engine is a part is registered in accordance with Section 4.2(e) and the International Interest created by such supplement shall (subject to the consent of Security Agent) be duly registered with the International Registry as an International Interest with respect to the Replacement Engine;

(bb) a full warranty (as to title) ▇▇▇▇ of sale, covering the Replacement Engine, executed by the former owner thereof in favor of Borrower (or, at Borrower’s option, other evidence of Borrower’s ownership of such Replacement Engine, reasonably satisfactory to Security Agent), and Borrower shall cause (subject, if necessary, to the consent of the prior owner of the Replacement Engine) the sale of the Replacement Engine effected by such ▇▇▇▇ of sale (or other evidence) to be registered with the International Registry as a contract of sale;

(cc) Financing Statements covering the security interests created by this Mortgage (or any similar statements or other documents required to be filed or delivered pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may be registered) as are necessary to protect the security interests of Security Agent in the Replacement Engine;

(ee) furnish an opinion of aviation law counsel addressed to Security Agent and each Lender and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Security Agent to the effect that (1) upon such replacement, Borrower’s title to such Replacement Engine(s) will be free and clear of all Liens of record (other than Permitted Liens) and that such Replacement Engine(s) will be subject to the Lien of this Mortgage to the same extent as the Engine(s) replaced thereby, (2) the supplement subjecting any such Replacement Engine(s) to this Mortgage has been duly filed for recordation pursuant to the Transportation Code or such other applicable Law of the jurisdiction other than the United States in which the aircraft of which such Engine is a part is registered in accordance with Section 4.2(e), (3) this Mortgage, as supplemented by such Mortgage supplement, creates a duly perfected first priority security interest and International Interest in any such Replacement Engines, (4) the sale of the ownership interest of any such Replacement Engine(s) effected by the bills of sale (or other evidence of ownership) thereof has been duly registered with the International Registry, and (5) the International Interest created by such Mortgage supplement in and to any such Replacement Engine(s) has been duly registered with the International Registry;

(ff) furnish a certificate of a qualified aircraft appraiser (which may not be an employee of Borrower), certifying that such Replacement Engine complies with the utility and remaining useful life requirements set forth above in this Section 4.4(e);

(gg) assign as security to Security Agent the benefit of all assignable and remaining manufacturers’ and vendors’ warranties with respect to such Replacement Engine(s);

(hh) furnish Security Agent with an Officer’s Certificate of Borrower certifying that all applicable conditions to the replacement pursuant to this Section 4.4(e) have been satisfied and to the effect that upon consummation of such replacement no Event of Default shall be continuing; and

(ii) take such other action as Security Agent reasonably requests in order that any such Replacement Engine(s) be properly titled in Borrower free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens) and subjected to the Lien of this Mortgage to the same extent as any Engine(s) replaced thereby.

(2) Borrower shall cause to be delivered to Security Agent such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 4.6 with respect to such Replacement Engine as Security Agent may reasonably request.

Upon satisfaction of the conditions to such substitution, (x) Security Agent shall execute and deliver to Borrower such documents and instruments as Borrower has prepared and reasonably requests to evidence the release of such replaced Engine from the Lien of this Mortgage and discharge from the International Registry the registration of the International Interest created by this Mortgage (and any other registered interests in favor of Security Agent) as it relates to the replaced Engine, (y) if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Security Agent shall assign to Borrower all claims that Security Agent may have against any other Person relating to any Event of Loss giving rise to such substitution, and (z) Borrower shall receive all insurance proceeds (other than those reserved to itself or to Security Agent under Section 4.6(b)) and proceeds in respect of any Event of Loss giving rise to such replacement to the extent not previously applied as provided or permitted hereunder; provided, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such proceeds shall not be distributed by the Security Agent to Borrower unless and until such Event of Default is no longer continuing, in which case, subject to the provisions of Section 3.3, such proceeds and any gain realized as a result of investments required to be made pursuant to Article 6 of this Mortgage shall be paid to Borrower (except to the extent applied by Security Agent as provided in this Mortgage). Borrower shall reimburse Security Agent and each other Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any Replacement Engine becoming an Engine hereunder.

4.5 Loss, Destruction, or Requisition.

(a) Event of Loss to the Aircraft.

If an Event of Loss to the Airframe (and any Engine(s) installed thereon) occurs, Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) days after such occurrence, or, if later, within fifteen (15) days after the determination that an Event of Loss has occurred,

provided that such determination is promptly made) notify Security Agent of such Event of Loss. Within sixty (60) days after such occurrence, Borrower shall notify Security Agent of Borrower’s election either to replace the Airframe and any such Engine(s) as provided under Section 4.5(a)(1) or to make payment in respect of such Event of Loss as provided under Section 4.5(a)(2) (and if Borrower does not notify Security Agent of such election within the 60-day time period, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to make payment in respect of such Event of Loss as provided under Section 4.5(a)(2)):

(1) If Borrower elects to replace the Airframe and any such Engine(s), Borrower shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 4.5(c), as promptly as possible and in any event within 120 days after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, cause to be subjected to the Lien of this Mortgage, in replacement of the Airframe with respect to which the Event of Loss occurred, a Replacement Airframe and, if any Engine was installed on the Airframe when it suffered the Event of Loss, a Replacement Engine therefor; provided, that if Borrower does not perform its obligation to effect such replacement under this clause (1) during the 120-day period provided herein, it shall pay the amounts required to be paid pursuant to and within the time frame specified in clause (2) below.

(2) If Borrower elects to make a payment for such Event of Loss to the Airframe, Borrower shall make a payment to Security Agent for purposes of redeeming Equipment Notes in accordance with Section 2.9 on a date on or before the Business Day following the earlier of (aa) the 120th day after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, and (bb) the third (3^rd) day after the receipt of insurance proceeds with respect to such Event of Loss (but in any event not earlier than the date of Borrower’s election under Section 4.5(a) to make payment under this Section 4.5(a)(2)); and upon such payment and payment of all other Secured Obligations then due and payable, Security Agent shall, at Borrower’s cost and expense, release from the Lien of this Mortgage, and discharge from the International Registry the registration of the International Interest created by this Mortgage (and any other registered interests in favor of Security Agent) as it relates to, the Airframe and the Engines, by executing and delivering to Borrower all documents that Borrower reasonably requests to evidence such release or discharge.

Borrower may extend the period set forth in clause (1) above for an additional thirty (30) days or the period set forth in clause (2) above for an additional sixty (60) days if (aa) Borrower provides Security Agent with a cash payment equal to the then unpaid Original Amount of the Equipment Notes, such payment to be held by Security Agent as security for Borrower’s obligations under this Section 4.5, (bb) Security Agent shall have received the insurance proceeds with respect to such loss and such proceeds are at least equal to the then unpaid Original Amount of the Equipment Notes or (cc) any combination of (aa) and (bb) shall result in Security Agent holding funds as security for Borrower’s obligations under this Section 4.5 equal to the then unpaid Original Amount of the Equipment Notes.

(b) Effect of Replacement. If Borrower provides a Replacement Airframe and any Replacement Engine(s) as provided for in Section 4.5(a)(1), then (1) the Lien of this Mortgage shall continue with respect to such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engine(s) (if any) as though no Event of Loss had occurred; (2) Security Agent shall release from the Lien of this Mortgage, and discharge from the International Registry the registration of the International Interest created by this Mortgage (and any other registered interests in favor of Security Agent) as it relates to, the replaced Airframe and Engines (if any) by executing and delivering to Borrower such documents and instruments as Borrower reasonably requests to evidence such release or discharge; and (3) in the case of a replacement upon an Event of Loss, Security Agent shall assign to Borrower all claims Security Agent may have against any other Person arising from the Event of Loss, and Borrower shall receive all insurance proceeds (other than those reserved to itself or Security Agent under Section 4.6(b)) and proceeds from any award in respect of condemnation, confiscation, seizure, or requisition, including any investment interest thereon, to the extent not previously applied or permitted hereunder; provided, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such proceeds shall not be distributed by Security Agent to Borrower unless and until such Event of Default is no longer continuing, in which case, subject to the provisions of Section 3.3, such proceeds and any gain realized as a result of investments required to be made pursuant to Article 6 of this Mortgage shall be paid to Borrower (except to the extent applied by Security Agent as provided in this Mortgage).

(c) Conditions to Airframe and Engine Replacement upon an Event of Loss. Borrower’s right to substitute a Replacement Airframe and any Replacement Engine(s) as provided in Section 4.5(a)(1) is subject to the fulfillment, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, in addition to the conditions in Section 4.5(a)(1), of the following conditions precedent (and Security Agent shall cooperate reasonably with Borrower to enable Borrower timely to satisfy such conditions):

Borrower shall reimburse Security Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any replacement under this Section 4.5(c).

(d) Non-Insurance Payments Received on Account of an Event of Loss. Any amounts, other than insurance proceeds in respect of damage or loss not constituting an Event of Loss (the application of which is provided for in Annex B), received at any time by Security Agent or Borrower from any Governmental Entity or any other Person in respect of any Event of Loss will be held by Security Agent and applied as follows:

(1) If such amounts are received with respect to the Airframe, and any Engine installed thereon at the time of such Event of Loss, upon Borrower’s compliance with the applicable terms of Section 4.5(a)(1) and Section 4.5(c) with respect to the Event of Loss for which such amounts are received, such amounts shall be paid over to, or (if received after such compliance) retained by, Borrower;

(2) If such amounts are received with respect to an Engine (other than an Engine installed on the Airframe at the time such Airframe suffers an Event of Loss), upon Borrower’s compliance with the applicable terms of Section 4.4(e) with respect to the Event of Loss for which such amounts are received, such amounts shall be paid over to, or (if received after such compliance) retained by, Borrower;

(3) If such amounts are received, in whole or in part, with respect to the Airframe, and Borrower makes, has made or is deemed to have made the election in Section 4.5(a)(2), such amounts shall be applied as follows:

FIRST, if the sum described in Section 4.5(a)(2) has not then been paid in full by Borrower, such amounts shall be paid to Security Agent to the extent necessary to pay in full such sum; and

SECOND, the remainder, if any, shall be paid to Borrower.

(e) Requisition for Use. If any Governmental Entity requisitions the use of the Airframe and any Engine(s) or Engine(s) installed on such Airframe while such Airframe is subject to the Lien of this Mortgage and such requisition does not constitute an Event of Loss, Borrower shall promptly notify Security Agent of such requisition, and all of Borrower’s obligations under this Mortgage shall continue to the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred. Any payments received by Security Agent or Borrower or a Permitted Lessee from such Governmental Entity with respect to such requisition of use shall be paid over to, or retained by, Borrower. If an Event of Loss to an Engine results from the requisition for use by a Governmental Entity of such Engine (but not the Airframe), Borrower will replace such Engine hereunder by complying with Section 4.4(e), and any payments received by Security Agent or Borrower from such Governmental Entity with respect to such requisition following such compliance shall be paid over to, or retained by, Borrower.

(f) Certain Payments to be held as Security. Except with respect to insurance proceeds in excess of that require to be maintained by Borrower hereunder, any amount referred to in Section 4.4, Section 4.5 or Section 4.6 which is payable or creditable to, or retainable by, Borrower shall not be paid or credited to or retained by Borrower if at the time of such payment, credit, or retention a Default or Event of Default exists, but shall be paid to and held by Security Agent as security for Borrower’s obligations under this Mortgage and the other Operative Agreements, and at such time as no Default or Event of Default exists, such amount and any gain realized as a result of investments required to be made pursuant to Article 6 shall (to the extent not theretofore applied as provided herein) be paid over to Borrower.

4.6 Insurance.

(a) Borrower’s Obligation to Insure. Borrower shall comply with, or cause to be complied with, each of the provisions of Annex B, which provisions are hereby incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full herein.

(b) Insurance for Own Account. Nothing in Section 4.6 shall limit or prohibit (a) Borrower from maintaining the policies of insurance required under Annex B with higher limits than those specified in Annex B; provided that such policies of insurance would not materially adversely effect the insured interests of the Additional Insureds in and to the Aircraft, or (b) Security Agent from obtaining insurance for its own account (and any proceeds payable under such separate insurance shall be payable as provided in the policy relating thereto); provided, that no insurance may be obtained or maintained by Security Agent that would limit or otherwise adversely affect the coverage of or increase the cost of any insurance required to be obtained or maintained by Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.6 and Annex B.

(c) Compliance. Borrower shall comply with the terms and conditions of each policy of insurance maintained hereunder and shall not consent or agree to any act or omission which:

(1) invalidates or may invalidate the policies of insurance required under this Mortgage;

(2) renders or may render void or voidable the whole or any part of any of the policies of insurance required to be maintained under this Section 4.6; or

(3) brings any insured liability within the scope of an exclusion or exception to the policies of insurance required to be maintained hereunder.

(d) Indemnification by Government in Lieu of Insurance. During any period of requisition or transfer of the Aircraft or any part thereof by or to the U.S. Government or any other U.S. Governmental Entity, Security Agent shall accept, in lieu of insurance against any risk with respect to the Aircraft described in Annex B, indemnification from, or insurance provided by, the U.S. Government or other U.S. Governmental Entity, against such risk in an amount that, when added to the amount of insurance (including

permitted self-insurance), if any, against such risk that Borrower (or any Permitted Lessee) may continue to maintain, in accordance with this Section 4.6, during the period of such requisition or transfer, shall be at least equal to the amount of insurance against such risk otherwise required by this Section 4.6. If Borrower shall obtain an indemnity or insurance under this Section 4.6(c), Borrower shall promptly furnish Security Agent with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Security Agent of such indemnity or insurance.

(e) Government Insurance. Security Agent shall accept, in lieu of insurance when required against war risk and allied perils with respect to the Aircraft described in Annex B, indemnification or insurance from the United States Government against war risks and allied perils in such amounts and on such terms that when added to the insurance maintained by Borrower, Borrower is in full compliance with the requirements of this Section 4.6.

(f) Application of Insurance Proceeds. As between Borrower and Security Agent, all insurance proceeds received as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss to the Aircraft or any Engine under policies required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.6 will be applied in accordance with Sections 3, 4.5(d) and 4.5(f), as applicable. All proceeds of insurance required to be maintained by Borrower, in accordance with Section 4.6 and Section B of Annex B, in respect of any property damage or loss not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine will be held by Security Agent and applied to pay (or to reimburse Borrower) for repairs or for replacement property upon delivery of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Security Agent that the repairs or replacement have been effected in accordance with this Mortgage, and any balance remaining after such repairs or replacement with respect to such damage or loss shall be paid over to, or retained by, Borrower, subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 (and any other applicable provisions) hereof.

4.7 Performance of all Covenants and Agreements.

Borrower agrees to timely pay and perform each of its covenants and agreements contained in the other Operative Agreements.

5.2 Remedies.

(a) Remedies Available. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, this Mortgage shall be in default, and Security Agent shall, upon the direction of a Majority in Interest of the Lenders do one or more of the following:

(1) cause Borrower, upon the written demand of Security Agent, at Borrower’s expense, to deliver promptly, and Borrower shall deliver promptly, all or such part of the Airframe or any Engine (together with all Aircraft Documents and other documents at any time required to be maintained with respect to the Airframe or Engine (or part thereof), in accordance with the rules and regulations of the FAA or other Aviation Authority if the Aircraft to which the Airframe or Engine relates is registered under the laws of a country other than the United States) as Security Agent may so demand to Security Agent or its order, or Security Agent, at its option, may enter upon the premises where all or any part of the Airframe or any Engine or the related Aircraft Documents are located and take immediate possession of and remove the same together with any engine which is not an Engine but which is installed on the Airframe, subject to all of the rights of the owner, lessor, lienor or secured party of such engine; provided that the Airframe with an engine (which is not an Engine) installed thereon may be flown or returned only to a location within the continental United States, and such engine shall be held for the account of any such owner, lessor, lienor or secured party or, if such engine is owned by Borrower, may at the option of Security Agent and if agreed by Borrower be exchanged with Borrower for an Engine in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.4;

(2) sell all or any part of the Airframe and any Engine at public or private sale, whether or not Security Agent shall at the time have possession thereof, as Security Agent may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any part of the Airframe or such Engine as Security Agent, in its sole discretion, but in accordance with applicable Law, may determine, all free and clear of any rights or claims of Borrower, and the proceeds of such sale or disposition shall be applied in the order of priorities set forth in Section 3; and/or

(3) exercise any other remedy of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought) and other applicable Laws applicable to this Mortgage or to any Permitted Lease pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Security 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 Borrower 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 Security Agent or any Lender 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. Security Agent or any Lender 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 Borrower, which right or equity of redemption is hereby waived and released. At any public or private sale the Lenders shall be entitled to credit against the purchase price bid at such sale all or any part of the unpaid amounts of Equipment Notes or other Secured Obligations. Borrower further agrees, at Security Agent’s request, to make the Collateral available to Security Agent at places which Security Agent shall reasonably select, whether at Borrower’s premises or elsewhere. Security Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 4.1, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Security Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as Security Agent may elect consistent with the provisions of Section 3.3, and only after such application and after the payment by Security Agent of any other amount required by any provision of Law, need Security Agent account for the surplus, if any to Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Security Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations.

Upon every taking of possession of Collateral under this Section 5.2, Security Agent shall, acting at the written direction of a Majority in Interest of Lenders, from time to time, at the expense of the Collateral (and such expense shall be due and payable by Borrower), make all such expenditures for maintenance, repairs, replacements, and modifications to and of the Collateral, and such improvements to and insurance of the Collateral, as it may reasonably deem proper. In each such case, Security Agent shall have the right to maintain, use, operate, store, lease, control or manage the Collateral and to exercise all rights and powers of Borrower relating to the Collateral in connection therewith, as Security Agent shall deem best, acting at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, insurance, use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as Security Agent may, acting at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders, reasonably determine; and Security Agent shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits of the Collateral and every part thereof. Such tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be applied by Security Agent, acting at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders, to pay any of the expenses of use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral, and of any or all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments which Security Agent may be required or may elect, acting at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders, to make, if any, for Taxes, insurance or other proper charges assessed against or otherwise imposed upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and all other payments which Security Agent may be required or expressly authorized to make under any provision of this Mortgage, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Security Agent and all other amounts owing to Security Agent under Section 7, and shall otherwise be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.

In addition, Borrower shall be liable, without duplication of any amounts payable hereunder or under any other Operative Agreement, for all reasonable legal fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of Security Agent’s remedies with respect thereto, including all costs and expenses specified in the preceding paragraph incurred in connection with the retaking, return or sale of the Airframe and any Engine in accordance with the terms hereof or under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, which amounts shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Mortgage.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Equipment Notes shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 5.2(c), at the request of Security Agent, acting at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to Security Agent such instruments of title and other documents as Security Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enable Security Agent or an agent or representative designated by Security Agent, at such time or times and place or places as Security Agent may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to which Security Agent shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If Borrower shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by Security Agent, Security Agent, acting at the written direction of the Majority

in Interest of Lenders, may obtain a judgment conferring on Security Agent the right to immediate possession and requiring Borrower to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to Security Agent, to the entry of which judgment Borrower hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so.

Nothing in the foregoing shall affect the right of any Lender to receive all amounts owing to such Lender as and when the same may be due.

(b) Notice of Sale. Security Agent shall, if permitted by applicable Law, give Borrower at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of any public sale or of the date on or after which any private sale will be held, which notice Borrower hereby agrees to the extent permitted by applicable Law is reasonable notice. The Lenders shall be entitled to bid for and become the purchaser of any Collateral offered for sale pursuant to this Section 5.2 and to credit against the purchase price bid at such sale all or any part of the due and unpaid amounts of the Equipment Notes or other Secured Obligations secured by the Lien of this Mortgage.

(c) If an Event of Default exists, then and in every such case Security Agent may (and shall, upon receipt of a written demand therefor from a Majority in Interest of Lenders), at any time, by delivery of written notice or notices to Borrower, declare all the Equipment Notes to be due and payable, whereupon the unpaid Original Amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and other amounts due thereunder or otherwise payable hereunder, shall immediately become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice, all of which are hereby waived; provided, that if an Event of Default referred to in clause (e), (f), or (g) of Section 5.1 exists, then and in every such case the unpaid Original Amount then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest, and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Equipment Notes, shall immediately and without further act become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, or notice, all of which are hereby waived.

If at any time after the Original Amount of the Equipment Notes becomes so due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the money so due, or any thereof, is entered, all overdue payments of interest upon the Equipment Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the Equipment Notes (except the Original Amount of the Equipment Notes which by such declaration shall have become payable) has been duly paid, and every other Event of Default with respect to any covenant or provision of this Mortgage has been cured, then and in every such case a Majority in Interest of Lenders may (but shall not be obligated to), by written instrument filed with Security Agent, rescind and annul Security Agent’s declaration (or such automatic acceleration) and its consequences; but no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(d) If the Collateral (or any part thereof) is sold pursuant to any judgment or decree of any court or otherwise in connection with the enforcement of this Mortgage, the unpaid Original Amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and other amounts due thereunder shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, or notice, all of which are hereby waived.

5.3 Remedies Cumulative.

To the extent permitted by applicable Law but without duplication of recovery, and subject to the provisions of Section 5.4 below, each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to Security Agent or otherwise in this Mortgage shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at Law, in equity, by statute or by the Operative Agreements, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Security Agent, acting at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by Security Agent in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of Borrower or to be an acquiescence therein.

5.4 Concerning the Cape Town Convention.

Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that (x) in addition to the remedies set forth in this Section 5 or otherwise available to Security Agent under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements, at law or in equity, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Security Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, exercise any remedy available to it under the Cape Town Convention (subject, in each case to the requirements and limitations of the Cape Town Convention), including the remedies set forth in Articles 8, 9 and 34 of the Cape Town Convention, but excluding the (a) procurement of the de-registration of the Aircraft (if the Aircraft is registered with the FAA or any successor agency thereto) and the export and physical transfer of the Aircraft or any Engine from the territory (if from a territory within the territorial limits of the United States) in which it is situated pursuant to Article IX of the Protocol, (b) relief pending final determination under Article 13 of the Cape Town Convention and Article X of the Protocol and (c) solely to the extent permitted by Article 15 of the Cape Town Convention, the provisions of Chapter III of the Cape Town Convention with regard to default remedies, provided that such exclusion in clause (c) shall not be applicable (to the extent permitted by Article 15 of the Cape Town Convention) to the extent such default remedies are exercised outside the territorial limits of the United States and in a manner not involving the courts of the United States or of its territorial units; and

(y) where a remedy is available to it under the Cape Town Convention and also under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements or other applicable Law, to the extent permitted by the Cape Town Convention and other applicable Law, and subject to the provisions of the previous clause (x), the Security Agent may elect under which of the foregoing it shall exercise such remedy.

5.5 Discontinuance of Proceedings.

In case Security Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to Security Agent, then and in every such case Borrower and Security Agent shall, subject to any determination in such proceedings, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of Borrower or Security Agent shall continue, as if no such proceedings had been undertaken (but otherwise without prejudice).

5.6 Waiver of Past Defaults.

Upon written instruction from a Majority in Interest of the Lenders, Security Agent shall waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, and upon any such waiver such Default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Mortgage, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided, that in the absence of written instructions from all relevant Lenders, Security Agent shall not waive any Default (a) in the payment of the Original Amount, and interest and other amounts due under any Equipment Note then outstanding, or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Article 7, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all Lenders.

5.7 Appointment of Receiver.

If an Event of Default exists and the Equipment Notes have been accelerated, Security Agent shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver (who may be Security Agent or any successor or nominee thereof) for all or any part of the Collateral, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or the taking of possession thereof or otherwise, and Borrower hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose any such appointment. Any receiver appointed for all or any part of the Collateral shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and powers of Security Agent with respect to the Collateral.

5.8 Security Agent; Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Security 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 Borrower and in the name of Borrower or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Mortgage, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Mortgage, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower hereby gives Security Agent the power and right, on behalf of Borrower, without notice to or assent by Borrower, to do any or all of the following:

(1) in the name of Borrower or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Security Agent for the purpose of

collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any Collateral whenever payable, in Borrower’s name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer, or delivery for the enforcement of the Lien of this Mortgage, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale, assignments, and other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution, Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any substitute shall do pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage; (Borrower agreeing that if so requested by Security Agent or any purchaser, Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale, assignment, transfer, or delivery, by executing and delivering to Security Agent or such purchaser all bills of sale, assignments, releases, and other proper instruments to effect such ratification and confirmation as designated in any such request).

(2) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Mortgage and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(3) execute, in connection with any sale provided for herein, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(4) (i) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Security Agent or as Security Agent shall direct; (ii) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (iii) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (iv) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (v) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Borrower with respect to any Collateral; (vi) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as Security Agent may deem appropriate; (vii) take any action, give any notice, or exercise any right, power or privilege under or in respect of the Purchase Agreement or the GTA, to the extent permitted in the Consent and Agreement and the Engine Consent and Agreement and (viii) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Security Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at Security Agent’s option and Borrower’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which Security Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Security Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Mortgage, all as fully and effectively as Borrower might do.

Anything in this Section 5.7 to the contrary notwithstanding, Security Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 5.7(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in this Mortgage, Security Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The expenses of Security Agent reasonably incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 5.7, together with interest thereon at the Past Due Rate, from the date of payment by Security Agent to the date reimbursed by Borrower, shall be payable by Borrower to Security Agent within ten (10) days following demand.

(d) Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Mortgage are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Mortgage is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

5.9 Duty of Security Agent.

Security Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Security Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Subject to mandatory provisions of applicable Law, neither Security Agent, any Lender nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any 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 Borrower or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on Security Agent and the Lenders hereunder are solely to protect Security Agent’s and the Lenders’ interests in the Collateral and, subject to mandatory provisions of applicable Law, (i) such powers shall not impose any duty upon Security Agent or any Lender to exercise any such powers and (ii) Security Agent and the Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

5.10 Execution of Financing Statements.

Pursuant to any applicable Law, Borrower authorizes Security Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of Borrower in such form and in such offices as are necessary or appropriate to perfect the security interests of Security Agent under this Mortgage.

5.11 Rights of Lenders to Receive Payment

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Mortgage, the right of any Lender to receive payment of principal of and interest on an Equipment Note on or after the due dates expressed in such Equipment Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates in accordance with the terms hereof, shall not be impaired or affected without such Lender’s consent.

6. INVESTMENT OF AMOUNTS HELD BY SECURITY AGENT

Any amounts held by Security Agent pursuant to Section 3.2, or pursuant to any provision of any other Operative Agreement providing for amounts to be held by Security Agent which are not distributed pursuant to the other provisions of Article 3 shall be invested by Security Agent from time to time in Cash Equivalents as directed by Borrower so long as Security Agent may acquire them using its reasonable efforts. All Cash Equivalents held by Security Agent pursuant to this Article 6 shall either be (a) registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or specially endorsed to, Security Agent, or (b) held in an Eligible Account. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Mortgage, any income realized as a result of any such investment, net of Security Agent’s reasonable fees and expenses in making such investment, shall be held and applied by Security Agent in the same manner as the principal amount of such investment is to be applied, and any losses, net of earnings and such reasonable fees and expenses, shall be charged against the principal amount invested. Security Agent shall not be liable for any loss resulting from any investment required to be made by it under this Mortgage other than by reason of its willful misconduct or gross negligence, and any such investment may be sold (without regard to its maturity) by Security Agent without instructions whenever such sale is necessary to make a distribution required by this Mortgage.

7. SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS TO THIS MORTGAGE AND OTHER OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS.

7.1 Instructions of a Majority.

(a) No provision of this Mortgage may be amended, supplemented, waived, modified, discharged, terminated, or otherwise varied orally, but only by an instrument in writing that specifically identifies the provision of this Mortgage that it purports to amend, supplement, waive, modify, discharge, terminate, or otherwise vary and is signed by the party against whom the enforcement of the amendment, supplement, waiver, modification, discharge, termination, or variance is sought. The Majority in Interest of the Lenders and Borrower may, or, with the written consent of the Majority in Interest of the Lenders, parties to the Operative Agreements may, from time to time, and Security Agent shall, at the direction of the Majority in Interest of the Lenders, (unless its respective rights or obligations as Security Agent are adversely affected thereby), (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Operative Agreements for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Mortgage or the other Operative Agreements or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders, Security Agent or Borrower hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Majority in Interest of the Lenders may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Mortgage or the other Operating Agreements or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no

such amendment, supplement or modification shall (A) modify this Section 7.1, or Article 2 or Article 3 or Sections 5.1, 5.2(b) or 5.2(c), the definition of “Event of Default”, “Default”, (B) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Equipment Note, extend the scheduled date of any payment of principal of any Equipment Note, reduce the stated rate of any interest payable on any Equipment Note or any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of the Commitments, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (C) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 7 without the written consent of such Lender; (D)(w) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Majority in Interest of the Lenders, (x) consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Mortgage and the other Operative Agreements or (y) reduce, modify or amend any indemnities in favor of Security Agent or the Lenders without the consent of each person effected thereby; (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of Sections 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3 without the written consent of Security Agent; or (F) take any action inconsistent with the provisions of Sections 10.8 or 11.1 of the Loan Agreement. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon Borrower, the Lenders, Security Agent and all future holders of the Equipment Notes. In the case of any waiver, Borrower, the Lenders and Security Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
