CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT (this Agreement), dated as of December 7, 2005, is by and among (i) AIRTRAN
AIRWAYS, INC. a Delaware corporation, (the Borrower), (ii) each LENDER IDENTIFIED ON SCHEDULE 1 HERETO (Lenders)
and (iii) HSH NORDBANK AG, NEW YORK BRANCH, not in its individual capacity, except as expressly state herein, but solely as agent for the Lenders (Security Agent).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Borrower and Airframe Manufacturer have entered into the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, Airframe Manufacturer agreed to manufacture and sell to Borrower, and Borrower agreed to purchase
and take delivery of, among other things, nineteen (19) Boeing model 737-7BD aircraft, each equipped with two (2) CFM International model CFM56-7B20 engines, each to be delivered during the Scheduled Delivery Months (the
Aircraft); and

WHEREAS, Borrower desires to borrow from Lenders, and Lenders desire to lend to Borrower, a
portion of the non-deferrable Advance Payments (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) made or to be made by Borrower to Airframe Manufacturer in respect of the Aircraft pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION

Except as otherwise defined in this Agreement, including its annexes, schedules and exhibits, terms used herein in capitalized form shall have the meanings attributed thereto in Annex A of the Security Agreement.
Annex A of the Security Agreement also contains rules of usage that control construction of this Agreement.

2. COMMITMENTS;
BORROWERS NOTICE OF PAYMENT DATES; CLOSING PROCEDURE

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender agrees to make a secured loan to the Borrower in respect of each Advance (herein
called, for each Advance, a Drawing) on a Borrowing Date to be designated pursuant to Section 2(e) hereof, but in no event later than the Commitment Termination Date. In the case of each Lender, such Drawing shall be equal to such
Lenders Participation Percentage set forth opposite such Lenders name in Schedule 2 hereto (as amended in accordance with the text of Schedule 2 and in a manner consistent with Schedule 4) multiplied by the amount of such Advance (for
each Lender, such Lenders Commitment with respect to such Advance); provided, that the aggregate amount of Drawings for all Advances to be made by any Lender shall not exceed the amount in Dollars set forth opposite such
Lenders name in Schedule 2 hereto as its Maximum Commitment (its Maximum Commitment). All Drawings made under this Agreement shall be evidenced in single series of Loan Certificates issued with respect to all Drawings. If any
Lender shall default in its obligation to make the amount of its Commitment available pursuant to this



2



---

Section 2(a) in respect of any Advance, no other Lender shall have an obligation to increase the amount of its Commitment for such Advance and the
obligations of the non-defaulting Lender shall remain subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the above, if the Security Agent disburses a Lenders Commitment in relation to an Advance without first
having received funds from a Lender, then that Lender hereby indemnifies Security Agent against any loss it may incur as a result of such failure to fund by that Lender.

(b) As more particularly set forth in Section 2.2 of the Security Agreement, Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender with appropriate insertions a Loan Certificate to evidence such Lenders Maximum
Commitment. The Loan Certificates shall be issued such that each Lender receives a Loan Certificate. Each Drawing shall be evidenced by this Agreement, the Loan Certificates, and notations made from time to time by each Lender in its books and
records, including computer records. Each Lender shall record in its books and records, including computer records, the principal amount of the Drawings owing to it from time to time. Absent evidence to the contrary, each Lenders books and
records shall constitute presumptive evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein. Failure by any Lender to make any such notation or record shall not affect the obligations of Borrower to such Lender with respect to the repayment
of its Drawings.

(c) Borrower agrees to give the Security Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice (the
Borrowing Notice) of the Effective Date and the Borrowing Date for each Advance, which Borrowing Date shall be a Business Day not later than the Commitment Termination Date, which notice shall specify any funding instructions and shall
be in substantially the form of Exhibit A.

(d) On the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the satisfaction of
the conditions precedent in Sections 4(a) and (b) (the Effective Date), Lenders shall make Drawings (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(a)) in respect of certain Advances which were paid by Borrower prior to
the Effective Date. The proceeds of such Drawings shall be paid to Borrower to the account specified in the Borrowing Notice; provided, however, that Borrower shall remain responsible for, and shall have paid, its Cash Contribution for each Aircraft
for which such Advances have been paid. On the first (1st) Business Day of each calendar month following the
Effective Date (each such Business Day and the Effective Date, also referred to individually as a Borrowing Date) and the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions precedent in Section 4(b) hereof, the Lenders shall make Drawings
(subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(a)) in respect of Advances which are then due and payable by Borrower to Airframe Manufacturer. The proceeds of such Drawings shall be paid to Airframe Manufacturer (or to Borrower, if Borrower
shall have paid such Advances to Airframe Manufacturer on or prior to the Borrowing Date thereof) by wire transferring (or by making other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Security Agent and Airframe Manufacturer or Borrower (as the case may
be)) such amounts to account or the accounts specified by Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Notice; provided, however, that Borrower shall remain responsible for, and shall have paid, its Cash Contribution for such Advances.

(e) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender may cancel its Commitments, and upon notice of such cancellation to
Borrower, the Commitments shall be cancelled and of no further effect. If an Event of Default under Sections 3(d), (e) or (f) of the Security Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, the Commitments shall automatically, without any
action or notice, be cancelled and of no further effect.

---

(f) Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or
expense (including any Break Loss) that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) failure by the Borrower in making a borrowing after the Borrower has given a Borrowing Notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement other than as a result of a breach by such Lender to make its Commitment available pursuant to Section 2(a), (b) failure by the Borrower in making any prepayment of Loan Certificates after the Borrower has given a notice
thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Loan Certificates on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. This covenant shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loan Certificates and all amounts payable hereunder.

(g) The closing with respect to the financing of
each Advance shall take place at the offices of Smith, Gambrell & Russell, LLP, Promenade II, Suite 3100, 1230 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309.

3. LOAN CERTIFICATES, EXPENSES, FEES AND INCREASED COSTS

(a) Loan Certificates. Each Loan Certificate shall bear interest and be repaid in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement and the
Security Agreement.

(b) Transaction Expenses. As to the Drawing(s) made on the Effective Date, if the Transactions in respect of
such Drawing(s) are consummated, or do not close for any reason other than a Lenders breach of its obligations under Section 2 hereof, Borrower agrees to the pay such Lenders and Security Trustees Transaction Expenses related
to such Drawing(s).

(c) Upfront Fee.In consideration of the Lenders Commitments hereunder, Borrower shall pay to Paying
Agent an amount equal to the Upfront Fee in immediately available funds on the Effective Date. Paying Agent shall distribute such fee to the Lenders pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement.

(d) Commitment Fee.Borrower agrees to pay the Commitment Fee in arrears on the last Business Day of the calendar quarter following the Effective
Date and on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter thereafter and on the Commitment Termination Date. Such Commitment Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual number of days elapsed and shall accrue on the
average daily unused portion of the aggregate Maximum Commitment during the preceding calendar quarter or part thereof. Borrower shall continue to pay the Commitment Fee until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Commitments are
terminated or cancelled and (ii) the Commitment Termination Date. The Commitment Fee shall be payable by Borrower to Paying Agent on the due date thereof in immediately available funds no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date
to the Payment Account. Paying Agent shall distribute the Commitment Fee when received to the Lenders pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement. For purposes hereof, the aggregate unused Maximum Commitment of the Lenders shall be reduced by an amount
equal to the amount by which (i) Borrower notifies Security Agent in writing that it wishes to reduce the aggregate unused Maximum Commitment



4



---

of the Lenders (provided, the aggregate unused Maximum Commitment of the Lenders may not following any such reduction be increased) or (ii) a Lender
cancels or terminates all or a portion of its Commitment pursuant to Section 2(e) hereof.

(e) Increased Costs.

(i) Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any
increase in costs that such Lender determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of its Commitment or the loans evidenced by its Loan Certificates or funding arrangements utilized in connection with such loans, or any reduction in any
amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of its Commitments, such loans or such arrangements (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called Additional Costs) and resulting from any
Regulatory Change that:

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

(2) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or
similar requirements (including any Reserve Requirement) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, or any such obligations; or

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

(ii) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(e) (but without
duplication), Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time on request such amounts as such Lender shall determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender (or, without duplication, the holding company of which such Lender is a
subsidiary) for any increase in costs that are attributable to the maintenance by such Lender (or any lending office or such holding company), pursuant to any law or regulation or any interpretation, directive or request (whether or not having the
force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful so long as compliance therewith is standard banking practice in the relevant jurisdiction) of any court or governmental or monetary authority following (A) any
Regulatory Change or (B) implementing any risk-based capital guideline or other similar requirement issued by any government or governmental or supervisory authority at the national level, of capital in respect of its Commitments or Loan
Certificates or funding arrangements utilized in connection with the Loan Certificates; such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of such Lender (or any lending
office or such bank holding company) would have achieved but for such law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request.

(iii) Each Lender shall notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement entitling such Lender to compensation under clauses (ii) or (iii) of this



5



---

Section 3(e). Each Lender will use commercially reasonable efforts (at Borrowers expense) to mitigate the amount of the Additional Costs
associated with such event, including designating a different lending office for the Loan Certificates of such Lender affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the
opinion of such Lender, result in any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage to such Lender (other than economic disadvantages for which Borrower agrees to indemnify such Lender and which indemnity is acceptable to such Lender in its discretion
acting reasonably and in good faith based on its credit assessment of Borrower). Each Lender will furnish to the Borrower an Officers Certificate setting forth in reasonable detail (1) the events giving rise to such Additional Costs,
(2) the basis for determining and allocating such Additional Costs and (3) the amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under clauses (ii) or (iii) of this Section 3(e) (subject, however, to any limitations
such Lender may require in respect of disclosure of confidential information relating to its capital structure), together with a statement that the determinations and allocations made in respect of the Additional Costs comply with the provisions of
this Section 3(e), including as provided in the last sentence of this clause (iii). Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 3(e) of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to clause (i) of this
Section 3(e), or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 3(e), on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Loan Certificates or its funding, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loan
Certificates, and of the amounts required to compensate such Lender under this Section 3(e), shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis and, in the case of
allocations, are made fairly.

(iv) The Borrower shall not be required to make payments under this Section 3(e) to any
Lender if (1) a claim hereunder arises through circumstances peculiar to such Lender and which do not affect commercial banks in the same jurisdiction generally, or (2) the claim arises out of a relocation by such Lender of its lending
office (except any such relocation effected pursuant to Section 3(e)(iii)), or (3) such Lender is not seeking similar compensation for such costs from its borrowers generally in commercial equipment related loans, or (4) the claim
arises as the result of any law or regulation or any interpretation, directive or request of any court or governmental or monetary authority in any jurisdiction other than an Accepted Jurisdiction.

(f) Agency Fee. On the Effective Date and on each anniversary of the Effective Date until all amounts owing hereunder have been fully repaid,
Borrower shall pay to Security Agent an amount equal to the Agency Fee in immediately available funds

the subsequent Transferee also makes the representation described in clause (1) of this Section 9(a)(iii) and agrees to comply with this clause (2).

(b) Transfer at Request of Borrower. In the event that Indemnified Withholding Taxes become payable by Borrower pursuant to Section 10(c)(i) hereof with respect to payments by Borrower to a Lender under a
Loan Certificate 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 10(c)(i) is not accomplished, such
Lender shall, upon the written request of Borrower, sell the affected Loan Certificate to a Person to which payments under the Loan Certificate 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 Loan Certificate plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon plus any Breakage Amount. Out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any,

from all of its liabilities and obligations with respect to such transferred Loan Certificate under the Operative Agreements to the extent such liabilities and obligations arise after such Transfer 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. 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.

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, or a successor or permitted assign of any of the foregoing (other than pursuant
to a Transfer). For the avoidance of doubt, no Transferee of a Loan Certificate shall be entitled under this Section 10(a) to be indemnified, protected, defended or held harmless against any Expense to the extent that any prior holder of such
Loan Certificate would not have been entitled to such rights and protections at the time of its transfer.

(iii) The
provisions of this Section 10(a) constitute a separate agreement with respect to each Indemnitee, and is enforceable directly by each such Indemnitee.

(iv) If an Indemnitee makes a claim for any Expense indemnifiable under this Section 10(a), 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 10(a)(iv), or in Section 10(a)(v), 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.

(v)

(1) If
any action, suit, or proceeding for which Borrower is responsible under this Section 10(a) 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 10(a)(v)(3), settle or compromise it.

(2) Borrower or its insurer(s) shall have the right, at its or their expense, to investigate and control the defense of, any action, suit,
or proceeding, relating to any Expense for which indemnification is sought pursuant to this Section 10(a), and each Indemnitee shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith with Borrower or its insurer(s) with respect thereto; provided, that
Borrower shall not be entitled to control the defense of any such action, suit, or proceeding, or to compromise any such Expense, while (a) any Event of Default exists, (b) if such proceedings will involve a material risk of the sale,
forfeiture, or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Lien) on the Collateral, unless Borrower shall have posted a bond or other security or collateral reasonably satisfactory to Security Agent in respect to such risk, or
(c) if such proceedings entail any material risk of criminal liability or material civil liability. In connection with any such Borrower-controlled action, suit, or proceeding, such Indemnitee shall have the right to participate therein, at its
sole cost and expense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, provided that such Indemnitees participation does not, in the reasonable opinion of the independent counsel appointed by Borrower or its insurers to conduct such
proceedings, interfere with

the defense of such case. In connection with any Indemnitee-controlled action, suit, or proceeding, Borrower or its insurers shall have the right to
participate therein, at its or their sole cost and expense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to any such Indemnitee, provided that Borrowers or its insurers participation does not, in the reasonable opinion of the independent counsel
appointed by any such Indemnitee to conduct such suit or proceedings, materially interfere with the defense of such case.

(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 10(a).

(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 the 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 10(a) and Section 12 before making any payment to such Indemnitee under this Section 10.

(6) Nothing in this Section 10(a)(v) shall require an Indemnitee to contest any Expense or to assume responsibility for or control of
any judicial proceeding with respect thereto.

(vi) Borrower will promptly 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 10(a)(v). The Indemnitee shall promptly 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 10(a)(v).

(vii) 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 11(d)) 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.

(viii) If an Indemnitee receives any refund, in whole or in part, with respect to any
Expense paid by Borrower hereunder, that Indemnitee will promptly pay such 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 Special 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 or, if requested by Borrower, applied to satisfy those obligations.

(b) Expenses. Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel) incurred by Security Agent, Paying Agent or the Lenders in connection with any waiver, consent or approval or amendment or modification of any Operative Agreement to the extent requested by Borrower. Each Lender agrees that it shall
reimburse Borrower, Paying Agent and Security Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by Borrower, Paying Agent and Security Agent in connection with any waiver,
consent or approval or amendment or modification of any Operative Agreement requested by it or Security Agent, unless such amendment or modification is requested pursuant to Section 6(f)(1) hereof or requested in connection with the existence
of a Default.

(c) General Tax Indemnity.

(i) Withholding Taxes. Except as provided in Section 10(c)(i), Borrower agrees that each payment paid by Borrower or Paying
Agent under the Loan Certificates, and any other payment or indemnity paid by Borrower or Paying Agent to or for the benefit of 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 applicable Law, and if Borrower or Paying Agent is required by applicable Law to make any such withholding or deduction for any such payment, (1) Borrower shall (or cause Paying Agent on
its behalf to) make all such withholdings or deductions, (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 by
Borrower so that, after Paying Agent makes 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 shall (or cause Paying Agent on its behalf to) 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 Loan Certificate or other payment or indemnity paid by Borrower or Paying Agent to or for the benefit of
a Lender under any Operative Agreement, withholding taxes imposed by the U.S. Government, but only to the extent that, as a result of a change in law or regulation or interpretation thereof or a change in a tax treaty to which the United States is a
party, in each case that occurs after the later of (x) the Borrowing Date applicable to such Loan Certificates and (y) the date the Lender owning such Loan Certificates became a Lender, such withholding taxes become applicable with respect
to a payment by Borrower or Paying Agent to or for the benefit of the Lender (if none had previously been imposed or required) or the rate



22



---

applicable to a previously imposed or required withholding tax is increased; provided that, if the particular Lender is based in a jurisdiction other than an
Accepted Jurisdiction, the amount of Indemnified Withholding Taxes shall not exceed the amount of Indemnified Withholding Taxes that would be applicable if the Lender were based in an Accepted Jurisdiction or other jurisdiction to which such Loan
Certificates have been transferred solely pursuant to this Section 10(c)(i). In the event that Indemnified Withholding Taxes become payable by Borrower as provided above, the Lender will, if possible and without any adverse consequences,
transfer the Loan Certificates 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 or for the benefit of 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 the applicable change in law or regulation or the interpretation thereof or change in tax treaty.

(ii) General Tax Indemnity. Except as provided in Section 10(c)(iii) 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 Collateral, 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 (w) any
Operative Agreement (including any Loan Certificates), (x) following delivery thereof, the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, any part, any data, or any other thing delivered or to be delivered therewith, (y) following delivery thereof,
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, reregistration, 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 therewith 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.

(iii) Certain Exceptions. The provisions of Sections 10(c)(i) and 10(c)(ii) shall not apply to, and Borrower shall
have no liability hereunder for, Taxes:

(1) imposed on a Tax Indemnitee by the federal government of the United States or
any Taxing Authority or governmental subdivision of the United



23

States or therein (including any state or local Taxing Authority) (aa) 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

Taxes, sales, use, rental, stamp, documentary, license, or property Taxes and value added Taxes (that are not imposed in direct substitution for an income Tax));

(2) imposed on a Tax Indemnitee by any Taxing Authority or governmental subdivision thereof or therein outside of the United States
(including any Taxing Authority in or of a territory, possession or commonwealth of the United States) (aa) 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 (bb) 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 (aa) or (bb), (y) sales, use, rental, stamp,
documentary, license, or property Taxes and value added Taxes (that are not imposed in direct substitution for an income Tax), or (z) any Taxes imposed by any Taxing Authority (other than a Taxing Authority within whose jurisdiction such Tax
Indemnitee is incorporated or organized or maintains its principal place of business) if such Tax Indemnitee would not have been subject to Taxes of such type by such jurisdiction but for (i) the activities of any Borrower Person in such
jurisdiction, (ii) the status of any Borrower Person as a foreign entity or as an entity owned in whole or in part by foreign persons, (iii) any Borrower Person having made (or having been deemed to have made) payments to or for the
benefit of such Tax Indemnitee from the relevant jurisdiction, or (iv) any Borrower Person being incorporated or organized or maintaining a place of business or conducting activities in such jurisdiction);

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

(4) that are being contested as provided in Section 10(c)(iv) below;

(5) 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;

(6) imposed on or with respect to a Tax Indemnitee (including a transferee thereof in
those cases in which the Tax on transfer is imposed on, or is



24



---

collected from, the transferee) as a result of a transfer or other disposition (including a deemed transfer or disposition) by such Tax Indemnitee or any of
its Related Tax Indemnitees of any or all of its interest in the Collateral, any interest arising under the Operative Agreements, or any Loan Certificate, 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 Collateral by a Borrower Person that is treated for Tax purposes as a transfer or disposition, or (2) a transfer requested by Borrower or required by the
Operative Agreements or pursuant to an exercise of remedies upon a then-existing Event of Default);

(7) in excess of those
that would have been imposed had there not been a transfer or other disposition excluded from indemnification by Section 10(c)(iii)(6) by or to such Tax Indemnitee or any of its Related Tax Indemnitees;

(8) 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 any of its Related Tax Indemnitees to properly and timely file any Tax return that it is required to file, unless such failure is caused by Borrowers failure to fulfill its obligations (if any) under
Section 10(c)(vii) with respect to such Tax return;

(9) 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 any of its Related Tax Indemnitees that Borrower is not obligated to discharge under the Operative Agreements;

(10) imposed on a Tax Indemnitee as a result of the breach by such Tax Indemnitee or any of its Related Tax Indemnitees 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;

(11) in the nature of an intangible or similar Tax imposed upon or with respect to the value or principal amount of the interest of a
Lender in any Loan Certificate 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, in each case, are imposed because
of the place of incorporation or the activities unrelated to the Transactions in the taxing jurisdiction of such Tax Indemnitee;

(12) imposed on a Tax Indemnitee by a Taxing Authority of a jurisdiction outside the United States, to the extent that such Taxes result from a connection between the Tax Indemnitee or any of its Related Tax Indemnitees and such
jurisdiction imposing such Tax unrelated to the Transactions; or

(13) relating to ERISA or to Code § 4975.



25



---

For purposes of this Section 10(c), a Person shall be considered a Related Tax
Indemnitee of a Tax Indemnitee if that Person is an Affiliate or employer of such Tax Indemnitee, a director, officer, employee, agent or servant of such Tax Indemnitee or any such Affiliate, or a successor or permitted assign of any of the
foregoing (other than pursuant to a Transfer).

(iv) Payment.

(1) Borrowers indemnity obligation to a Tax Indemnitee under this Section 10(c) shall equal the amount which, after taking into
account any Tax currently payable upon the receipt or accrual of the amounts payable under this Section 10(c) and any current 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 10(c)), shall equal the amount of the Tax indemnifiable under this Section 10(c).

(2) At Borrowers written request, 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 10(c) 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 written
request provide to such accounting firm such information in such Tax Indemnitees possession or control as is reasonably necessary, 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). Such verification shall be binding on Borrower and the Tax Indemnitee. 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 of 5% or more of the net present value of the payment as computed by such Tax Indemnitee, 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, as Borrower reasonably requests in writing that are necessary to minimize any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 10(c) and which such Tax Indemnitee can provide without incurring
material adverse consequences under applicable Law, and Borrower shall, on written request from such Tax Indemnitee, reimburse such Tax Indemnitee for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing such certifications, information and
documentation to Borrower. If the Tax Indemnitee believes that providing to Borrower the certifications, information and documentation requested by Borrower would result in the incurrence of material adverse consequences under applicable Law, the
Tax Indemnitee shall notify Borrower of the basis of that belief and the Tax Indemnitee and Borrower shall promptly meet to discuss the matter and, if Borrower and the Tax Indemnitee are unable to agree whether such



26



---

material adverse consequences would result, shall appoint an independent accounting firm to resolve the issue on terms similar to those set forth in
Section 10(c)(iv)(2) hereof (except that Borrower and the Tax Indemnitee shall share equally the costs of such accounting firm).

(4) Each Tax Indemnitee shall promptly forward to Borrower any written notice, bill, or advice that such Tax Indemnitee receives from any Taxing Authority concerning any Tax for which it seeks indemnification under
this Section 10(c). Borrower shall pay any amount for which it is liable pursuant to this Section 10(c) directly to the appropriate Taxing Authority if legally permissible, or, upon written demand of a Tax Indemnitee, to such Tax
Indemnitee within 30 days of such demand (or, if a contest occurs in accordance with Section 10(c)(v), within 30 days after a Final Determination (as defined below)), but in no event more than three Business Days before the related Tax is due.
If requested by a Tax Indemnitee in writing, Borrower shall furnish at its expense 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 at its expense 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; provided that Borrower shall not be required to furnish such data if (x) such data are not within the possession or
control of Borrower (unless Borrower is required to maintain such data pursuant to applicable Law) or (y) such data are not customarily furnished by U.S. domestic air carriers under similar circumstances (unless such data are specifically
requested by a Taxing Authority). For purposes of this Section 10(c), a Final Determination is (1) a decision, judgment, decree, or other order by any court of competent jurisdiction that occurs pursuant to the provisions of
Section 10(c)(v), which decision, judgment, decree, or other order has become final and unappealable, (2) a closing agreement or settlement agreement entered into in accordance with Section 10(c)(v) that has become binding and is not
subject to further review or appeal (absent fraud, misrepresentation, etc.), or (3) the termination of administrative proceedings and the expiration of the time for instituting a claim in a court proceeding; provided that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, the positions taken by such Tax Indemnitee on its Tax returns and filings, dealing with Tax authorities and, subject to the provisions of Section 10(c)(v) hereof, in any Tax proceedings shall be in the sole, good-faith discretion of
such Tax Indemnitee and, subject to the provisions of Section 10(c)(iv)(2) hereof, no Person shall have the right to require disclosure of the Tax returns or filings of such Tax Indemnitee, provided further that, in the case of any Tax credit
or other Tax benefit that is limited in its availability, in the aggregate, to such Tax Indemnitee (and is not directly and fully traceable to the Tax paid or indemnified by Borrower without such limitations), the allocation of such Tax credit or
other Tax benefit shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of applicable Law, and if and to the extent such allocation is not addressed by applicable Law, in proportion to other Tax credits or Tax benefits



27



---

claimed by such Tax Indemnitee (taking into account any requirement of applicable Law concerning segregation or basketing of similar Tax credits or Tax
benefits), by multiplying the amount of such Tax credit or Tax benefit by the ratio of the Tax credit or Tax benefit realized by the Tax Indemnitee by reason of any Tax paid or indemnified by Borrower over the total of such available Tax credits or
Tax benefits for the Tax year at issue (taking into account any requirement of applicable Law concerning segregation or basketing of similar Tax credits or Tax benefits).

(5) If any Tax Indemnitee actually realizes a net tax savings by reason of any Tax paid or indemnified by Borrower pursuant to this
Section 10(c) (whether such tax savings arise by means of a foreign tax credit, depreciation or cost recovery deduction, or otherwise), and such net savings 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 (1) the amount of such net tax savings, plus any additional net tax savings recognized as the result of any payment made pursuant to this sentence, and (2) the amount of all
payments pursuant to this Section 10(c) by Borrower to such Tax Indemnitee (less any payments previously made by such Tax Indemnitee to Borrower pursuant to this Section 10(c)(iv)(5)) (and the excess, if any, of the amount described in
clause (1) over the amount described in clause (2) 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 10(c)); provided, that
such Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to make any payment pursuant to this sentence so long as a Special Default or an Event of Default exists. If a tax benefit is later disallowed or denied, the disallowance or denial shall be treated as a Tax
indemnifiable under Section 10(c)(ii) without regard to the provisions of Section 10(c)(iii) (other than Section 10(c)(iii)(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.

(v) 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 has a material adverse effect on Borrowers indemnification obligations hereunder or on 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 30 days following Borrowers receipt of such notice; provided, that, if applicable Law requires such Tax Indemnitee to take action
before the end of such 30-day period, such Tax Indemnitee shall, in such notice to Borrower, so inform Borrower, and such Tax Indemnitee shall take no action for as long as it is legally able to avoid taking action. Such Tax Indemnitee



28



---

shall (provided that Borrower shall have agreed to keep such information confidential other than to the extent necessary in order to contest the claim, such
agreement to be delivered to the Tax Indemnitee and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it) furnish Borrower with copies of the relevant portions 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 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,
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. If requested to do so by Borrower in writing, 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. If and to the extent that the Tax Indemnitee is able, using reasonable efforts, to separate
the contested issue or issues from other issues arising in the same administrative or judicial proceeding that are unrelated to the Transactions without (in such Tax Indemnitees good faith judgment) adversely affecting such Tax Indemnitee,
such Tax Indemnitee shall permit Borrower to control the conduct of any such proceeding and shall provide to Borrower (at Borrowers cost and expense) such information or data in such Tax Indemnitees control or possession and reasonably
necessary to conduct such contest. If the contest is being controlled by a Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall consult with Borrower in good faith regarding the manner of contesting such claim, and shall keep Borrower reasonably informed
regarding the progress of such contest. If the contest is being controlled by Borrower, Borrower shall consult with the applicable Tax Indemnitee in good faith regarding the manner of contesting such claim, and shall keep such Tax Indemnitee
reasonably informed regarding the progress of such contest. A Tax Indemnitee shall not fail to take any action expressly required by this Section 10(c)(v) (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 10(c)(v)(2) or (3)).

(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 (1) 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, (2) if such contest involves the payment of the claim, Borrower advances the amount



29



---

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), (3) the action to be taken will not result in any
material risk of forfeiture, sale, or loss of, or the creation of a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on, the Collateral (unless Borrower makes provisions to protect the interests of any such Tax Indemnitee in a manner reasonably satisfactory to
such Tax Indemnitee) or any material risk of criminal liability or material civil liability (provided, that such Tax Indemnitee shall notify Borrower in writing promptly after it becomes aware of any such risks), (4) no Event of Default exists
(unless Borrower has provided security reasonably acceptable to the Tax Indemnitee for its obligations hereunder or has advanced 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 (5) before commencing any judicial action controlled by Borrower, such Tax Indemnitee shall have received written confirmation from
Borrower that the Taxes that are the subject of such Tax claim are indemnified by Borrower hereunder, provided, that Borrower shall not be bound by such confirmation to the extent that the Final Determination of the contest articulates conclusions
of law and fact that demonstrate Borrower is not liable hereunder for the Taxes that are the subject of such Tax claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Tax Indemnitee releases, waives, compromises, or settles any claim that may be
indemnifiable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 10(c) without Borrowers written permission, 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 (other than previously incurred costs and expenses of contest
described in clause (1) of this paragraph), 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 10(c), 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 (1) waives its right to indemnity under this Section 10(c) 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), (2) pays to Borrower any amount previously paid or advanced by Borrower pursuant to this Section 10(c) with respect to such Tax (other than previously
incurred costs and expenses of contest described in clause (1) of this paragraph), plus interest at the rate that would have been payable by the relevant Taxing Authority on a refund of such Tax, and (3) agrees to discuss with Borrower the
views or positions of any relevant Taxing Authority with respect to the imposition of such Tax.



30



---

(vi) Refund. If any Tax Indemnitee receives a refund of, or is entitled to a
credit against other liability for, all or any part of any Taxes paid, reimbursed, or advanced by Borrower, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Borrower within 30 days of such receipt an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of such refund
or credit 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 (a)), and (b) such tax payment, reimbursement, or advance by Borrower to such Tax Indemnitee theretofore made pursuant to this Section 10(c) (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 obligation of Borrower to make payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this
Section 10(c)). 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 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. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, a Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to make any payment pursuant to this Section 10(c)(vi) so long as a Special Default or an Event of Default exists.

(vii) Tax Filing.Borrower shall, at its expense, 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 10(c) (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 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 either 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 or such Tax Indemnitee shall itself be responsible for completing and filing such report, return or statement if it fails to, or elects not to, provide Borrower with
the requested information.

(viii) Forms.Each Tax Indemnitee agrees to furnish from time to time to Borrower,
Paying Agent, or such other Person as Borrower or Paying Agent shall designate, at Borrowers or Paying 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 without such Tax



31



---

Indemnitees incurring material adverse consequences under applicable Law, and (ii) Borrower has provided such Tax Indemnitee with any information
necessary to complete such form not otherwise reasonably available to such Tax Indemnitee. If the Tax Indemnitee believes that claiming such reduction or exemption would result in its incurring material adverse consequences under applicable Law, the
Tax Indemnitee shall notify Borrower of the basis of that belief, and the Tax Indemnitee and Borrower shall promptly meet to discuss the matter and, if the Tax Indemnitee and Borrower are unable to agree whether such material adverse consequences
would result, shall appoint an independent accounting firm to resolve the issue on terms similar to those set forth in Section 10(c)(iv)(2) hereof (except that the Tax Indemnitee and Borrower shall share equally the costs of such accounting
firm).

(ix) 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 10(c) and Section 12 before any payment shall be due to such Tax Indemnitee under this Section 10(c).

(d) Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payments which Borrower or an Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee is obligated to make pursuant to
Section 10(a) or Section 10(c) shall be paid on the 30th 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. If Borrower shall have
requested to contest a Tax or Expense as provided in this Section 10 and shall have duly complied with all the terms of this Section 10, Borrowers liability for indemnification under this Section 10 shall, at Borrowers
election, be deferred until a final determination is made with respect to such contest. At such time, Borrower shall become obligated for the payment of any indemnification hereunder resulting from the outcome of such contest, and within fifteen
(15) days following such final determination, any amounts so due hereunder shall be paid by Borrower to the Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee, as applicable. Such payments shall be made directly to the relevant Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or to
Borrower, in immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as specified by such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or Borrower (as applicable) in written directives to the payor, or, if no such direction has been given, by check of the payor

11. SECURITY AGENT

(a) Appointment and Powers. Each Lender hereby and by acceptance of a Loan Certificate irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes HSH Nordbank
AG, New York Branch, as Security Agent under this Agreement and under each other Operative Agreement, irrevocably appoints HSH Nordbank AG, New York Branch, as a representative of the Lenders within the meaning of Section 9-511 of
the UCC and irrevocably authorizes Security Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Operative Agreements and to exercise the powers and perform the duties as are expressly delegated to it by the
terms of this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Security Agent hereby accepts such appointments, designations and authorizations. 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.

(b) Limitation on Security Agents Liability. Except as expressly provided in Section 8(b) hereof, neither Security Agent
nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible 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 validity, effectiveness 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 employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible 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 be entitled to rely 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.

(c) Rights as Lender.If the Security Agent is also a Lender, it 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.



33



---

(d) Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to indemnify Security Agent (to the extent not reimbursed
by Borrower under the Operative Agreements), ratably on the basis of the unpaid Original Amounts of the Loan Certificates held by such Lenders (or, if no Loan Certificates are at the time issued, ratably on the basis of their respective Commitments
applicable to such Aircraft), 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 arise from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violations of Law by Security Agent.

(e) 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, the Operative Agreements or the Collateral that may come into the possession of Security Agent
or any of its Affiliates.

(f) Successor Security Agent.

(1) 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, 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 by an instrument signed by such holders, which successor shall be subject to Borrowers reasonable approval. 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, if any, 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 a Majority in Interest of the Lenders as above provided.



34



---

(2) 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 as if originally named Security Agent herein; 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. 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.

(3) Any successor institution acting as Security Agent, however appointed, shall be a bank or trust company 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 hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms.

(g) Notice of Default. If Security Agent obtains Actual Knowledge of a Default, Security Agent shall notify each Lender. Subject to Sections 4 of
the Security Agreement and Section 11(h) 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. If Security Agent does not receive instructions as above provided within twenty (20) days after delivering notice of such Event of Default to
the relevant Lenders, Security Agent may (subject to instructions thereafter received pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 11(g)) take such action, or refrain from taking such action (but shall be under no duty to take or
refrain from taking any action) with respect to such Event of Default as it determines to be advisable in the best interests of such Lenders; provided, that Security Agent may not sell the Collateral without the consent of all Lenders. Unless it has
Actual Knowledge, Security Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default or an Event of Default (except that Borrowers failure to pay any installment of principal or interest within one Business Day after it becomes due shall
constitute knowledge of a Default) unless notified in writing by Borrower or one or more Lenders.

(h) Instructions from a Majority in
Interest of Lenders. Except as provided in Sections 4 and 6.1 of the Security Agreement, upon the written instructions at any time and from time to time of a Majority in Interest of the Lenders, Security Agent shall, in respect of an Aircraft
and the transaction contemplated with respect thereto, take such of the following actions as shall be specified in such instructions: (a) give such notice or direction 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.



35

(i) 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.
