Section 7. Operation, Maintenance and Repair. The Obligors shall operate, maintain and repair the Collateral and retain actual control and possession thereof in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) The Obligors shall have complete use of the Collateral until an Event of Default, and the Obligors shall use, operate, maintain and store the Collateral, or any part hereof, properly, carefully and in compliance with all applicable statutes, ordinances, regulations, policies of insurance and manufacturer’s recommendations, including the recommendations or requirements set forth in manufacturer’s operating and maintenance manuals.

(b) The Obligors agree that the Collateral will be operated only by duly certified and qualified pilots and shall be based within the geographical boundaries of the United States of America.

(c) The Obligors shall be responsible for and pay for all expenses of owning and operating the Collateral, including, but not limited to, storage, fuel, lubricants, service, inspections, overhauls, replacements, maintenance and repairs, all in compliance with the manufacturer’s operating and maintenance manuals and with Federal Aviation Administration rules and regulations. The Obligors shall properly maintain all records pertaining to the maintenance and operation of the Collateral.

Section 8. Insurance. The Obligors will, at their own expense, keep the Collateral insured at all times against loss, damage, theft and such other casualties as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require (including hull insurance) in such amounts, under such forms of policies, upon such terms, for such periods and with such companies or underwriters as the Administrative Agent may (but has no obligation to) approve. Such insurance policies shall name the Administrative Agent as additional insured on liability coverage and as loss payee on all-risk coverage. Losses or refunds in all cases shall be payable to the Administrative Agent and the Obligors as their interests may appear. In no event shall the amount of such physical damage insurance be less than the greater of the full replacement value or the fair market value of the Aircraft. All policies of insurance shall provide for at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of cancellation to the Administrative Agent, and shall contain a breach of warranty endorsement in favor of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may obtain such insurance if the Obligors do not provide such insurance. The Obligors shall furnish to the Administrative Agent proof satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of compliance with the provisions of this Section 8. The Administrative Agent, and its assigns, are each hereby irrevocably appointed attorneys-in-fact for the Obligors coupled with an interest in the Collateral to endorse for any Obligor any checks, drafts or other instruments whatsoever payable to such Obligor as proceeds or refunds for any such insurance and to make claims of loss and to sign proofs of loss against any insurance company and to receive all payments. The Obligors will pay any deductible portion of such insurance. All risk of loss, damage, destruction or confiscation shall at all times be with the Obligors.

Section 9. Each Obligor’s Possession. Until the existence of an Event of Default, the Obligors may have possession of the Collateral and use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement and the Loan Agreement. The Administrative Agent may examine and inspect the Collateral, wherever located, at all reasonable times, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement. At its option, but without assuming any obligation to do so, the Administrative Agent may discharge taxes, liens or security interests, or other encumbrances levied or asserted against the Collateral, may place and pay for insurance thereof, may order and pay for the repair, maintenance and preservation thereof, and may pay any necessary filing or recording fees.

Amounts paid by the Administrative Agent under the preceding sentence shall be added to the Secured Obligations, shall be secured by the Collateral and shall be payable upon demand, together with interest at the rate computed as provided in the Loan Agreement until paid in full. The Obligors shall at all times keep the Collateral and any proceeds therefrom separate and distinct from other property of the Obligors and shall keep accurate and complete records of the Collateral and any such proceeds.

Section 10. Default. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may require the Obligors to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by the Administrative Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties. The requirements of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code for reasonable notification to the Obligors of the time and place of any proposed public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to each Obligor’s address, as shown herein, at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition. The proceeds of any such disposition shall be applied to pay the Secured Obligations in the manner contemplated by the Loan Agreement. The Obligors shall be jointly and severally liable for any deficiency after application of such proceeds, to the extent permitted by law. If after the default by any Obligor, the Collateral is returned to or recovered by the Administrative Agent, the Obligors agree the Administrative Agent may fly or otherwise move the Collateral for demonstration or other purposes reasonably related to a proposed public or private sale or other disposition of the Collateral.

Section 11. Waiver of Default. No waiver by the Administrative Agent of any default or Event of Default shall be effective unless in writing, nor operate as a waiver of any other default or Event of Default or of the same default or Event of Default in the future.

Section 12. Restriction on Transfer or Liens. No Obligor will, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the Collateral, or any interest therein, or offer to do so or remove or attempt to remove the Collateral from the United States of America (except in the normal operation of each Obligor’s business or except as permitted under the Loan Agreement). Except as permitted under the Loan Agreement, the Obligors will keep the Collateral free from any adverse security interest, lien or encumbrance and will not permit the Collateral to be attached or replevied.

Section 13. Taxes. The Obligors will promptly pay, when due, all taxes and assessments upon the Collateral or upon its use or operation.

Section 14. Change of Address. The Obligors represent that their chief executive office is at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇.
