 3

Assigned Purchase Agreement in relation to any Aircraft, without the written consent and countersignature of the Security Trustee (acting at the unanimous direction of the Lenders) if such change order, amendment, modification or supplement would

certified by the Borrower, of all material change orders (other than non charge change orders), amendments, modifications or supplements to each Assigned Purchase Agreement that affect the Security Trustee’s interest.

for any and all monies and claims for monies due and to become due under or arising out of the Operative Documents and all other property which now or hereafter constitutes part of the Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders
in connection therewith and to file any claims or to take any action or to institute any proceedings which the Security Trustee may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises; provided that the Security Trustee agrees not to exercise such
power of attorney unless an Event of Default shall be continuing.

not assigned or pledged any of its right, title, and interest hereby assigned to anyone other than the Security Trustee.

	2.	Payments under Assigned Purchase Agreements 

  

	 	(a)	The Borrower agrees that all payments due or to become due to the Borrower under or in connection with either Assigned Purchase Agreement with respect to any Aircraft at any time when an Event of Default has occurred

Trustee may designate to the Borrower and Airbus from time to time), and the right of the Security Trustee so to receive such payments shall not be subject to any defense, counterclaim, set-off or other right

the right to assign its right to purchase the Aircraft from Airbus (subject to the Step-In Agreement). 

  

	 	(b)	If an Event of Default referred to in Clause 4(f) or 4(g) shall have occurred, then and in every such case all unfunded Commitments shall be terminated and the unpaid principal of all Loan Certificates then outstanding,
together with interest accrued but unpaid thereon, and all other amounts due to the Lenders under the Operative Documents, shall immediately and without further act become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which
are hereby waived. 

  

	 	(c)	If any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case, the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee may at any time, by written notice or notices to the Borrower,
(i) terminate all unfunded Commitments and/or (ii) declare all the Loan Certificates to be due and payable, whereupon the unpaid principal of all Loan Certificates then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and

	 	(e)	Subject to the consent of the Majority Lenders, each Lender and the Security Trustee shall be entitled, at any sale pursuant to this Clause 5, to credit against any purchase price bid at such sale by each Lender or the
Security Trustee all or any part of the unpaid obligations owing to such Lender or the Security Trustee and secured by the Lien of this Mortgage. The Security Trustee and the Lenders shall, upon any such purchase, acquire good title to the property
so purchased, to the extent permitted by applicable law, free of all rights of redemption. 

  

	 	(f)	The Security Trustee agrees to give to the Borrower at least ***** prior written revocable notice of any foreclosure of the Lien of this Mortgage, or of any other action to cause the Borrower to lose any rights under
the Purchase Agreement (which period of notice the parties hereto confirm is commercially reasonable). 

  

	 	(g)	In case the Security Trustee 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 the Security Trustee, then and in every such case, the Security Trustee and the Borrower 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 the Security Trustee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been instituted. 


 

	 	(h)	Upon written instructions from the Majority Lenders, the Facility Agent shall waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences and upon any such waiver such Default or Event of 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon; provided, however, that in the absence of written instructions from all Lenders, the Facility Agent shall not waive any Default (i) in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, or other amounts due under, any Loan
Certificate then outstanding, or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision of an Operative Document which by its terms cannot be waived without the consent of each Lender. 


 

	 	(i)	Each and every right, power and remedy given to the Agents specifically 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 or by statute, 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
either Agent, 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. 


 

	 	(j)	No delay or omission by any Agent in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of
the Borrower or to be an acquiescence therein.

 Whenever any notice in writing is required to be given by the Borrower or any Agents or any
Lender to any of the other parties, such notice shall be deemed given and such requirement satisfied when such notice is received, with such notice received if such notice is mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, or is sent by facsimile,

 Any party hereto may change the address to which notices to such party will be sent by giving notice of such
change to the other parties to this Mortgage. 
  

	7.7	Facility Agent’s Right to Perform for Borrower 

 If the Borrower fails to make any payment
or to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, then (but in each case no earlier than ***** after notice to Borrower as to the occurrence of such failure, whether or not it shall yet constitute an Event of Default hereunder)
the Facility Agent may itself make such payment or perform or comply with such agreement but shall not be obligated hereunder to do so, and the amount of such payment and the amount of the reasonable expenses of the Facility Agent incurred in
connection with such payment or the performance of or compliance with such agreement, as the case may be, together with interest thereon at the Past Due Rate, shall be payable by Borrower upon demand. 

 

	7.8	Severability 

 Any provision of this Mortgage which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  

	7.9	No Oral Modifications or Continuing Waivers 

 No terms or provisions of this Mortgage or the
Loan Certificates may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party or other Person against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought and any other
party or other Person whose consent is required pursuant to this Mortgage; and any waiver of the terms hereof or of any Loan Certificate shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.

	7.10	Successors and Assigns 

 All covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon,
and inure to the benefit of, each of the parties hereto and the successors and permitted assigns of each, all as herein provided. Any request, notice, direction, consent, waiver or other instrument or action by any Lender shall bind the successors
and assigns of such Lender. 
  

	7.11	Headings 

 The headings of the various Clauses herein and in the table of contents hereto are
for the convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof. 
  

	7.12	Governing Law; Counterparts 

 THIS MORTGAGE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE. This Mortgage may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall
be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
  

	7.13	Waiver of Jury Trial 

 EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS MORTGAGE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH
PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS MORTGAGE BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS CLAUSE. 

 

	7.14	Jurisdiction 

  

	 	(a)	 The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any
thereof (collectively, “New York Courts”), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such 



  
 14 









	 	
New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The Borrower agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in
other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Agent may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against another party
or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. The Borrower further agrees that, notwithstanding Clauses 22.2 and 22.3 of the Step-In Agreement, as between the Borrower and the Agents New York Courts
will have jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising from or connected with this Mortgage or the Step-In Agreement (with the selection of New York Courts as the appropriate jurisdiction for all or any part of
such proceeding to be made by either Agent), New York Courts are appropriate and convenient for settling any dispute between the Borrower and either Agent, and the Borrower agrees that it will not argue to the contrary. 


 

	 	(b)	The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Clause. The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of
such action or proceeding in any such court. 

  

	8.	Service of Process 

 Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in
the manner provided for the delivery of notices in Clause 7.6. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and
designates Corporation Service Company (the “Agent for Service of Process”), having an address at Corporation Service Company, 80 State Street, Albany, New York 12207-2543 as its true and lawful attorney-
in-fact and duly authorized agent for the limited purpose of accepting service of legal process and the Borrower agrees that service of process upon such party shall constitute personal service of such process
on such person. The Borrower shall maintain the designation and appointment of the Agent for Service of Process at such address until all amounts payable under this Agreement shall have been paid in full. If the Agent for Service of Process shall
cease to so act, the Borrower shall immediately designate and shall promptly deliver to the Facility Agent evidence in writing of acceptance by another agent for service of process of such appointment, which such other agent for service of process
shall have an address for receipt of service of process in the State of New York and the provisions above shall equally apply to such other agent for service of process. 
  

	9.	Limitation on Liability 

  

	9.1	Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, recourse against the Borrower with respect to this Agreement shall be limited to the assets of the 


  
 15 








 Borrower, as they may exist from time to time and each Agent and Lender agrees not to seek before
any court or Governmental Entity to have any shareholder, director or officer of the Borrower, held liable, in their personal or individual capacities, for any actions or inactions of the Borrower or any obligations or liability of the Borrower
under this Agreement other than in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  

	9.2	Each of the Security Trustee, the Facility Agent and the Lenders agree that with respect to any actions or inactions of the Borrower or any obligations or liability of the Borrower under this Agreement, it shall not
commence any case, proceeding, proposal or other action under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement in the nature of insolvency proceedings, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution or analogous relief with respect to the Borrower. 

  

	9.3	Nothing in this Clause 9 shall: 

  

	 	(a)	be construed to limit the exercise of remedies pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with its terms; or 

  

	 	(b)	be construed to waive, release, reduce, modify or otherwise limit the obligations and liabilities of any guarantor of the Borrower’s obligations or liabilities hereunder. 


 

	9.4	The provisions of this Clause 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
