 [Mortgage and Security Agreement (Mesa Spare Parts Facility)]

this Mortgage: 
 (i)        subject such Engine to normal interchange or pooling
agreements or similar arrangements, in each case customary in the commercial airline industry and entered into by the Grantors in the ordinary course of its business with any Certificated Air Carrier; provided, that (A) no transfer of
the registration of any airframe on which such Engine is installed shall be effected in connection therewith, (B) no such interchange or pooling agreement or arrangement contemplates, requires or results in the transfer of title to such Engine,
(C) if the Grantors’ title to such Engine shall be divested under any such agreement or arrangement, such divestiture shall be deemed to be an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine, and the Grantors shall comply with Section 3.01
hereof in respect thereof and (D) upon entering into such arrangement, the Grantors shall provide notice thereof to the Collateral Agent and shall furnish copies of the relevant agreements associated therewith to the Collateral Agent;

shall not become subject to the Lien of such mortgage or security interest, notwithstanding the installation thereof on such airframe, and (y) the Grantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Recognition of Rights Agreement
within ten (10) Business Days of such installation; 
 (iv)       install an Engine
on an airframe leased to the Grantors or purchased by the Grantors subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement, provided that (x) such airframe is free and clear of all Liens, except: (A) the rights of the parties to
the lease or conditional sale or other security agreement covering such airframe, or their assignees and (B) Liens of the type permitted by subparagraph (iii) of this Section 2.01(c), and (y) such lease, conditional sale or other
security agreement effectively provides that such Engine shall not become subject to the Lien of such lease, conditional sale or other security agreement or any other right, title or interest of such lessor, seller or secured party, notwithstanding
the installation thereof on such airframe, and the Grantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Recognition of Rights Agreement within ten (10) Business Days of such installation; 

(v)        transfer possession of such Engine to the United States or any
instrumentality or agency thereof pursuant to the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program so long as the Grantors shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent (x) upon transferring possession of such Engine to the United States or any agency or
instrumentality thereof pursuant to this clause (v) and (y) in the case of a transfer involving the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program, of the name and the address of the Contracting Office Representative for the Military Airlift Command of the
United States Air Force to whom notice must be given; 
 (vi)       transfer possession
of such Engine to the United States or any instrumentality or agency thereof pursuant to a lease, contract or other instrument, a copy of which shall be provided to Collateral Agent and provided that the Collateral Agent is provided prompt written
notice thereof; or 
 (vii)      provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, and to the extent expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, sell or dispose of such Engine, with the proceeds of such sale or disposition being distributed in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement and with such Engine being
released from the terms hereof. 
 The rights of any transferee who receives possession by reason of a transfer permitted by this
Section 2.01(c) shall be during the period of such possession, subject and subordinate to, all the terms of this Mortgage, including, without limitation, the covenants contained in this Article 2, including the inspection rights contained in
Section 2.04, and the Collateral Agent’s right to repossess an Engine, as applicable, and to avoid and terminate any such arrangement upon such repossession (and the Collateral Agent may require specific subordinations of said interest be
obtained and filed or registered to perfect the same), and the 

  
 10 








 [Mortgage and Security Agreement (Mesa Spare Parts Facility)] 

 
 Grantors shall remain primarily liable for the performance of all of the terms of this
Mortgage, and the terms of any such arrangement shall not permit any Person to take any action not permitted to be taken by the Grantors in this Mortgage with respect to such Engine. No interchange agreement, pooling agreement or other
relinquishment of possession of an Engine shall in any way discharge or diminish any of the Grantors’ obligations to the Collateral Agent under this Mortgage or constitute a waiver of the Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies hereunder or
under any Loan Document, and the Grantors shall notify the Collateral Agent of the location of each Engine in each Borrowing Base Certificate. 

In the case of any arrangement entered into pursuant to this Section 2.01(c), the Grantors will include in the documentation relating
thereto appropriate provisions that make such arrangement expressly subject and subordinate to this Mortgage, including the Collateral Agent’s and each Lender’s right to avoid or otherwise terminate such arrangement in the exercise of its
rights to repossession hereunder. No such arrangement shall be entered into unless the Grantors shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for all of its reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel) incurred in connection therewith. 

The Collateral Agent acknowledges that any consolidation or merger of the Grantors or conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially
all of the Grantors’ assets permitted by and in conformance with the Credit Agreement shall not be prohibited by this Section 2.01. 

Any arrangement entered into pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) shall not permit any further leasing of the applicable Engine. 

(d)        Placard. On or prior to the Closing Date, or as soon thereafter as
practicable (and, in any event, within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date), if permitted by applicable Law, the Grantors agree to affix to each Engine constituting Collateral and maintain (or cause to be affixed and maintained), at its
expense, a placard bearing the inscription: 
 “THIS ENGINE IS MORTGAGED TO 

CIT BANK, N.A., AS COLLATERAL AGENT” 
 (such
nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of any successor Collateral Agent, in each case as permitted under the Loan Documents). 

Such placards may be removed temporarily in the course of maintenance of the applicable Engine. Except as above provided, the Grantors will
not allow the name of any Person to be placed on any Engine as a designation that might be interpreted as a claim of ownership. 

(e)        Replacement of Parts. The Grantors, at their own cost and expense, will
promptly replace or cause to be replaced all Parts associated with an Engine that may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason
whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.01(g). All replacement Parts shall be owned by the Grantors free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens, pooling arrangements permitted by Section 2.01(f) hereof and replacement
parts temporarily installed on an emergency basis) and shall be in as good an 

  
 11 








 [Mortgage and Security Agreement (Mesa Spare Parts Facility)] 

 
 operating condition as, and shall have a value and utility at least equal to, the Parts
replaced assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof. All Parts at any time removed from any Engine shall remain the property of the Grantors and subject to the Lien of this Mortgage,
no matter where located, and shall be used, maintained, overhauled and/or repaired, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 2.02(c) hereof. Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to an
Engine, without further act (subject only to Permitted Liens and any pooling arrangement permitted by Section 2.01(0 hereof and except replacement parts temporarily installed on an emergency basis), such replacement Part shall become the
property of the Grantors and subject to the Lien of this Mortgage and be deemed a Part for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Engine. The Grantors will notify the
Collateral Agent within five (5) Business Days after any PMA Parts are installed on any Engine. 

(f)        Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from any Engine as provided in
Section 2.01(e) hereof may be subjected by the Grantors to a pooling arrangement of the type that is permitted by, and in accordance with the terms of, Section 2.01(c)(i) hereof; provided that, the Grantors shall notify the Collateral
Agent of the location of such Part in each Borrowing Base Certificate. In addition, any replacement Part when incorporated or installed in or attached to an Engine in accordance with such Sections may be owned by any Certificated Air Carrier subject
to such a pooling arrangement, provided, that the Grantors, at their expense, as promptly thereafter as practicable, either (i) causes such replacement Part to become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, free and clear of all Liens
other than Permitted Liens or (ii) replaces or causes to be replaced such replacement Part with a further replacement Part owned by the Grantors, which shall become the property of the Grantors and subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, free and
clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. 
 (g)        Alterations, Modifications and
Additions. The Grantors, at their own expense, will make (or cause to be made) such alterations and modifications in and additions to each Engine as may be required to be made from time to time so as to comply with any Law, rule, regulation
or order of any Governmental Authority of any jurisdiction in which any Engine may be located; provided, however, that the Grantors may, in good faith, and by appropriate proceedings contest the validity or application of any such Law,
rule, regulation or order (commencement of such contest to occur within 45 days of the date on which a Grantor is required to make such alterations or modifications) in any reasonable manner that does not materially adversely affect the Collateral
Agent or any Secured Party or any of their respective legal and economic interests in or to such Engine, subject any such Person to material risk of any civil or any criminal penalties, or involve any material risk of loss or forfeiture of title to
any Engine. In addition, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.01(g), the Grantors, at their own expense, may from time to lime make such alterations and modifications in and additions to any Engine as the Grantors may deem desirable
in the proper conduct of its business, including removal of Parts that the Grantors deem to be obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on such Engine; provided that no such alteration, modification, removal or addition impairs
the condition or airworthiness of such Engine, or materially diminishes the utility of such Engine below the condition, airworthiness, or utility thereof immediately prior to such alteration, modification, removal or addition assuming such Engine
was then in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Mortgage; provided further that if any such alteration, 

  
 12 








 [Mortgage and Security Agreement (Mesa Spare Parts Facility)] 

 
 modification, removal or addition materially diminishes the current market value of such
Engine below the current market value thereof immediately prior to such alteration, modification, removal or addition, then the Grantors shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof. All Parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added
to an Engine as the result of such alteration, modification or addition (except those parts that are excluded from the definition of Parts or that may be removed by the Grantors pursuant to the next sentence) (the “Additional
Parts”) shall, without further act, become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Grantors may, at their own expense, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, remove or
suffer to be removed any Additional Part, provided that such Additional Part (i) is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Engine or any Part in
replacement of or substitution for any such Part and (ii) is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to such Engine pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph (c). Upon the removal thereof as provided above,
such Additional Part shall no longer be deemed to be subject to the Lien of this Mortgage or part of such Engine from which it was removed and may be sold or otherwise disposed of by the Grantors in the ordinary course of its business. 

Section 2.02    Pledged Spare Parts. 

(a)        Tracking System. The Grantors shall at all times maintain the Tracking System
in at least as favorable a condition as the condition it was in as at the Closing Date and its perpetual inventory procedures for Pledged Spare Parts that provide a continuous internal audit of Pledged Spare Parts. Notwithstanding the limitations in
Section 2.04, at reasonable times during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to the Grantors (as often as may be reasonably requested), the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to access and inspect the Tracking System to monitor the
types, quantities and locations of any Pledged Spare Parts and to ensure the Grantors’ compliance with the terms hereof. Such inspection right shall not be exercised in a manner that is unduly disruptive to the operation or maintenance of the
Tracking System or the business operations of the Grantors. If requested by the Collateral Agent, the Grantors will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a written acknowledgment of the Collateral Agent’s access and inspection rights
hereunder from any third party that owns or operates the Tracking System. 
 (b)        Spare
Parts Locations. Each Grantor represents, warrants and agrees that prior to any utilization or disposition thereof that is permitted hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, the Pledged Spare Parts shall be maintained by or on behalf of the
Grantors at one or more of the Spare Parts Locations, and that the nature of its interest in and to each such location (e.g., owner, leasehold, tenant) is and shall remain as described to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents. The
Grantors will promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing if any of the representations, warranties or agreements contained in the preceding sentence become inaccurate in any respect with respect to any of the Pledged Spare Parts or its interest
therein. The Grantors will not change or permit the change any of the Spare Parts Locations from their respective locations on the date hereof without reasonable advance written notice to the Collateral Agent of such change. Except as otherwise
permitted under this Mortgage, the Grantors shall keep and maintain all Pledged Spare Parts at one or more of the Spare Parts Locations and shall not suffer or permit any Pledged Spare Part to be stored at any other location


  
 13 








 [Mortgage and Security Agreement (Mesa Spare Parts Facility)] 

 
 unless, in each case, the Grantors provide prior written notice to the Collateral Agent.
The Grantors shall ensure that each Spare Parts Location is a secure facility, adequate for warehousing and storing the Pledged Spare Parts and is at all times covered by property, casualty and premises liability coverage reasonably acceptable and
evidenced to the Collateral Agent. Upon adding a location that is to become a Spare Parts Location in accordance herewith, and upon request of the Collateral Agent, the Grantors will furnish to the Collateral Agent, at Grantors’ sole expense:

 (i)        a Mortgage Supplement duly executed by the applicable Grantor,
identifying each location that is to become a Spare Parts Location and specifically subjecting the Pledged Spare Parts at such location to the Lien of this Mortgage. 

(ii)       a Collateral Access Agreement for such Spare Parts Location (unless it is owned
by Grantors free and clear of any Liens). 
 (iii)      if requested by the Collateral Agent,
an opinion of counsel to the Grantors, dated the date of execution of such Mortgage Supplement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, addressed to the Secured Parties, stating that such Mortgage Supplement has been duly filed
for recording, in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Laws, and, if requested by the Collateral Agent, either: (i) no other filing or recording is required, under any applicable Law, in any other place within the United States (or
other applicable jurisdiction) in order to perfect the Lien of this Mortgage on the Pledged Spare Parts held at the pertinent Spare Parts Location or (ii) if any such other filing or recording shall be required that said filing or recording has
been accomplished in such other manner and places, which shall be specified in such opinion of counsel, as are necessary to perfect the Lien of this Mortgage with respect to such Pledged Spare Parts; and 

(iv)      a certificate from an authorized officer of the Grantors stating that, in the opinion
of such officer, all conditions precedent provided for in this Mortgage relating to the subjection of such property to the Lien of this Mortgage have been complied with. 

(c)        Possession, Use and Maintenance. 

(i)        Possession. Without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent, neither Grantor may sell, lease (whether by way of a finance lease, operating lease or otherwise), transfer or relinquish possession of any Pledged Spare Part to anyone except as permitted by the provisions of
Section 2.02(c)(ii) of this Mortgage and except that the Grantors shall have the right, in the ordinary course of business, (x) to transfer possession of any Pledged Spare Part to the manufacturer thereof or any other organization for
testing, overhaul, repairs, maintenance, alterations or modifications (to the extent required or permitted by the terms hereof) or to any Person for the purpose of transport to any of the foregoing, (y) to subject any Pledged Spare Part to a
maintenance servicing agreement arrangement entered into in the ordinary course of business or (z) to transfer any Pledged Spare Part between any Spare Parts Locations. 

  
 14 








 [Mortgage and Security Agreement (Mesa Spare Parts Facility)] 

 

(ii)        Use; Modifications. 

(A)        Use. The Grantors shall have the right, at any time and from
time to time at their own cost and expense, without the necessity of any release from or consent by the Collateral Agent, to: 

(1)        incorporate in, install on, attach or make appurtenant to, or use in, any
aircraft, engine, spare part or appliance leased to or owned by the Grantors, any Pledged Spare Part, free from the Lien of this Mortgage; 

(2)        dismantle any Pledged Spare Part that has become worn out or obsolete or
unfit for use, and to scrap, sell or dispose of any such Pledged Spare Part or any salvage resulting from such dismantling, free from the Lien of this Mortgage; and 

(3)        in each event described in the foregoing (1) and (2), any such
Pledged Spare Part shall cease to be a “Pledged Spare Part” hereunder. 

(B)        Permitted Sales and Modifications. Provided that no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and to the extent expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Grantors may sell or dispose of Pledged Spare Parts, with the proceeds of such sale or disposition being applied in the manner specified in the
Credit Agreement and with such Pledged Spare Parts being released from the terms hereof. In addition, the Grantors may modify or alter any Pledged Spare Part as the Grantors may deem appropriate in the proper conduct of their business, so long as
the Grantors remain in compliance at all times with the requirements of Section 2.02(c)(iii) below, after giving effect to any such modification or alteration. 

(iii)      Maintenance. The Grantors: 

(A)        shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, at all times the Pledged Spare
Parts in accordance with, all applicable Laws and regulations issued by the FAA and all applicable Laws issued by any other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Grantors or any such Pledged Spare Parts, including making any
modifications, alterations, replacements and additions necessary therefor, and shall utilize, or cause to be utilized, the same manner and standard of maintenance with respect to each model of Spare Part included in the Pledged Spare Parts as is
utilized for such model of Spare Part owned by the Grantors and not included in the Pledged Spare Parts; 

(B)        shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in English, all records, logs and
other materials required by the FAA or under applicable Laws to be maintained in respect of the Pledged Spare Parts and shall not modify its record retention procedures in respect of the Pledged Spare Parts unless such modification is consistent
with Mesa’s FAA approved maintenance program; 

  
 15 








 [Mortgage and Security Agreement (Mesa Spare Parts Facility)] 

 
 provided however that such modification shall not
materially diminish the value of the Pledged Spare Parts, taken as a whole; and 

(C)        shall maintain, or cause to be maintained on a timely basis, the Pledged
Spare Parts in good working order (other than during periods of maintenance, repair, inspection and testing) and condition and shall perform all maintenance thereon necessary for that purpose, excluding Spare Parts that have become worn out or unfit
for use, beyond economic repair or become obsolete or scrap. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all Rotable Spare Parts and Repairable Spare Parts that are Pledged Spare Parts and, to the extent customary, all Expendable Spare Parts
and Life Limited Parts that are Pledged Spare Parts, located at Spare Parts Locations other than as excluded above, shall have a current and valid serviceable tag and shall be in compliance with such tag, in each case in compliance with applicable
FAA regulations. 
 Section 2.03    Insurance. 

(a)        Obligation to Insure. The Grantors shall comply with, or cause to be complied
with, each of the provisions of Exhibit C hereto, which provisions are hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth in full herein. 

(b)        Insurance for Own Account. Nothing in this Section 2.03 shall limit or
prohibit (x) the Grantors from maintaining the policies of insurance required under Exhibit C with higher limits than those specified in Exhibit C or other insurance for their own account or (y) the Collateral Agent or any Additional
Insured from obtaining insurance for its own account (and any proceeds payable under such separate insurance shall be payable as provided in the policy relating thereto); provided, however, that no insurance may be obtained or maintained that would
limit or otherwise adversely affect the coverage of any insurance required to be obtained or maintained by the Grantors pursuant to this Section 2.03 and Exhibit C. 

(c)        Application of Insurance Proceeds. As between the Grantors and the Collateral
Agent, it is agreed that all insurance proceeds will be distributed in accordance with the terms of Exhibit C. If either the Collateral Agent or either Grantor receives a payment of such insurance proceeds in excess of its entitlement pursuant to
this Mortgage, it shall promptly pay such excess to the other party. 

(d)        Indemnification by Government in Lieu of Insurance. Notwithstanding any
provisions of this Section 2.03 requiring insurance, the Collateral Agent agrees to accept, in lieu of insurance against any risk, indemnification from, or insurance provided by, the Government of the United States or any agency or
instrumentality thereof the obligations of which are supported by the full faith and credit of the Government of the United States, against such risk in an amount that, when added to the amount of insurance against such risk maintained by the
Grantors, shall be at least equal to the amount of insurance against such risk otherwise required by this Section 2.03. The Grantors shall furnish to the Collateral Agent and to the Additional Insureds, in advance of attachment of such
indemnity or insurance, a certificate of a responsible financial or legal officer of the Grantors confirming in reasonable 

  
 16 








 [Mortgage and Security Agreement (Mesa Spare Parts Facility)] 

 
 detail the amount and scope of such indemnification or insurance and that such
indemnification or insurance complies with the preceding sentence. 
 (e)        Application
of Payments During Existence of an Event of Default. Any amount described in this Section 2.03 that is payable or creditable to, or retainable by, the Grantors shall not be paid or credited to, or retained by, the Grantors if at the
time such payment, credit or retention would otherwise occur, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall instead be held by or paid over to the Collateral Agent as security for the obligations of the Grantors under this
Mortgage and the Loan Documents. At such time as there shall not be continuing any Event of Default, such amount shall be paid to the Grantors to the extent not previously applied in accordance with this Mortgage. 

Section 2.04    Inspection. At reasonable limes and on at least fifteen
(15) days’ prior written notice to the Grantors, the Secured Party or its authorized representatives may (but not more than twice per calendar year in respect of an Engine or the Pledged Spare Parts; provided that such limitation shall not
be applicable if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) inspect any Engine or Pledged Spare Parts and inspect and make copies of the books, logs and records of the Grantors relating to the maintenance of such Engine or Pledged Spare
Parts and shall keep any information or copies obtained thereby confidential on the same terms set forth in Section 12.08 of the Credit Agreement. Any such inspection of the Pledged Spare Parts or any Engine shall be during normal business
hours and shall be limited to a visual, walk-around inspection, but shall not include opening any panels, bays or the like without the express written consent of the Grantors; provided that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, no exercise of such inspection right shall interfere with the normal operation or maintenance of the Pledged Spare Parts or any Engine by, or the business of, the Grantor. The Grantors will give such Secured Party notice of the next
scheduled overhaul or other maintenance visit with respect to an Engine no later than 10 Business Days prior to its occurrence and afford such Person an opportunity to be present at the same without interfering (so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing) in any material respect with the maintenance, operations or business of the Grantors. The Secured Parties shall not have any duty to make any such inspection nor shall any such Persons incur any liability or obligation by
reason of not making any such inspection.

Warranties and Covenants. 
 (a)        Title. Each Grantor hereby represents,
warrants and covenants that (i) it has good and marketable title to (x) each item of Equipment listed on its respective Mortgage Supplement executed and delivered on the Closing Date and will have good and marketable title to each item of
Equipment listed on each of its respective subsequent Mortgage Supplement at the time of execution and delivery thereof; (y) each of the Pledged Spare Parts on the Closing Date; (ii) it will have good title to any other Collateral that is
subject to this Mortgage or that becomes subject to this Mortgage from time to time hereafter; (iii) any Engines covered hereby from time to time are correctly described by Manufacturer, model and serial number as set forth on the

any other relevant jurisdiction to perfected security interests or Liens. 
 (c)        No

the Grantors shall promptly, at their own expense, (i) defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all Persons (other than Persons lawfully claiming by, through or under the Collateral Agent) at any time claiming the same or any
interest therein adverse to the Collateral Agent and (ii) take such action as may be necessary to duly discharge any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) arising at any time. 

(d)        Other Financing Statements. There is no financing statement (or similar
statement or instrument of encumbrance under the Law of any jurisdiction) covering or purporting to cover any interest of any kind in the Collateral (other than Permitted Liens and other than any financing statements or FAA filings that relate to
transactions for which all obligations have been paid in full and for which there is no commitment on the part of any Person to advance funds or perform any obligation that would otherwise be secured by any collateral described in such financing
statement), and so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid, the Grantors will not execute or authorize or permit to be filed in any public office any financing statement or statements (or similar statement or instrument of encumbrance under the
Law of any jurisdiction) relating to the Collateral other than with respect to Permitted Liens. 

(e)        Patriot Act; OFAC. Without limiting the generality of the Grantors’
obligations under Section 6.18 of the Credit Agreement, the Grantor: (a) represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date, that the Grantors and each of their Subsidiaries are in compliance with the provisions described therein,
(b) covenants that the Grantors and each of their Subsidiaries shall be and remain in compliance with such provisions at all times while the Lien of this Mortgage is in effect, and (c) further covenants that neither Grantor nor any of

Section 4.02    Remedies with Respect to Collateral. 

(a)        Remedies Available. Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of
Default, the Collateral Agent may do one or more of the following, in each case subject to Article IX of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that during any period that an Engine is subject to the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program
in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01(c)(v) hereof and in possession of the United States Government or an agency or instrumentality of the United States, the Collateral Agent shall not, on account of any Event of Default, be
entitled to exercise any of the remedies specified in the following clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) in relation to such Engine in such manner as to limit the Grantors’ control under this Mortgage of the relevant Engine, unless at least sixty
(60) days’ (or such lesser period as may then be applicable under the Air Mobility Command program of the United States Air Force) written notice of default hereunder shall have been given by the Collateral Agent by registered or certified
mail to the Grantors with a copy addressed to the Contracting Office Representative for the Air Mobility Command of the United States Air Force under any contract with the Grantors relating to such Engine: 

(i)        cause the Grantors, upon the written demand of the Collateral Agent, at the
Grantors’ expense, to deliver promptly, and the Grantors shall deliver promptly, all or such part of the items of Equipment as the Collateral Agent may so demand to the Collateral Agent or its order, or the Collateral Agent, at its option, may
access the Tracking System (and demand the assistance of the Grantors’ personnel necessary to utilize the Tracking System) and enter upon the premises where all or any part of any items of Equipment or other Collateral are located and take
immediate possession (to the exclusion of the Grantors and all Persons claiming under or through the Grantors) of and remove the same by summary proceedings or otherwise, and/or station guards and representatives on such premises pursuant to
Section 2.050) hereof; 
 (ii)        sell all or any part of any items of
Equipment or other Collateral at public or private sale, whether or not the Collateral Agent shall at the time have possession thereof, as the Collateral Agent may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle
all or any part of any items of Equipment or other Collateral as the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine, all free and clear of any rights or claims of whatsoever kind of the Grantors, any person claiming by, through or under the
Grantors and any person holding an interest subordinate to the interests of the Collateral Agent hereunder; provided, however, that the Grantors shall be entitled at any time prior to any such disposition to redeem the Collateral by
paying in full all of the Obligations; or 
 (iii)        exercise any or all of the
rights and powers and pursue any and all remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought) or by any other applicable Law (including the Cape Town
Convention, to the extent applicable), or proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms or to recover damages for the breach hereof. 

Upon every taking of possession of Collateral under this Section 4.02, the Collateral Agent may, from time to time, at the expense of the
Grantors, make all such 

  
 21 








 [Mortgage and Security Agreement (Mesa Spare Parts Facility)] 

 
 expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions
and improvements to and of the Collateral as it may deem proper. In each such case, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to maintain, use, insure, operate, store, lease, control or manage the Collateral and to carry on business and to exercise
all rights and powers of the Grantor relating to the Collateral in connection therewith, as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, insurance,
operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Collateral Agent may determine; and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues,
issues, income, products, proceeds and profits of the Collateral and every part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Collateral Agent under any provision of this Mortgage to collect and receive all cash held by, or required to be
deposited with, the Collateral Agent hereunder. Such tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products, proceeds and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of using, operating, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the
Collateral, and of all maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacement, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments that the Collateral Agent may be required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance or other
proper charges upon the Collateral or any part thereof (including the employment of engineers and accountants to examine, inspect and make reports upon the properties and books and records of the Grantor), and all other payments that the Collateral
Agent may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Mortgage, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Collateral Agent, and of all Persons engaged and employed by the Collateral Agent. 

In addition, the Grantors shall be liable for all legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by reason of the occurrence of any Event of
Default or the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s remedies with respect thereto, including all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the retaking, return or sale of any items of Equipment or other Collateral in accordance with the
terms hereof, which amounts shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Mortgage. 
 If any Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, or the Loans shall have been declared forthwith due and payable pursuant to the Credit Agreement, at the direction of the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent shall at any time thereafter while any Event of Default shall be
continuing, without notice of any kind to the Grantors (except as provided herein) to the extent permitted by Law, carry out or enforce any one or more of the actions and remedies provided in this Article 4 or elsewhere in this Mortgage or otherwise
available to a secured party under applicable Law, whether or not any or all of the Collateral is subject to the jurisdiction of such UCC and whether or not such remedies are referred to in this Article 4. 

Nothing in the foregoing shall affect the right of each Secured Party to receive all payments of principal of, and interest on, the
Obligations held by such Secured Party and all other amounts owing to such Secured Party as and when the same may be due. 

(b)        Notice of Sale. The Collateral Agent shall give the Grantors at least
ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the date fixed for any public sale of any item of Equipment or the date on or after which any private sale will be held, which notice the Grantors hereby agree is reasonable notice. 

  
 22 








 [Mortgage and Security Agreement (Mesa Spare Parts Facility)] 

 

(c)        Receiver. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, to the extent
permitted by Law, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled, as a matter of right as against the Grantors, without notice or demand and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations or the solvency of the Grantors, upon the
commencement of judicial proceedings by it to enforce any right under this Mortgage, to the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof and of the tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits thereof for the
recovery of judgment for the indebtedness secured by the Lien created under this Mortgage or for the enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under applicable Law. 

(d)        Concerning Sales. At any sale under this Article 4, any Secured Party may bid
for and purchase the property offered for sale, may make payment on account thereof as herein provided, and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor. Any purchaser
shall be entitled, for the purpose of making payment for the property purchased, to deliver any of the Obligations in lieu of cash in the amount that shall be payable thereon as principal or interest. Said Obligations, in case the amount so payable
to the holders thereof shall be less than the amounts due thereon, shall be returned to the holders thereof after being stamped or endorsed to show partial payment. 

Section 4.03    Waiver of Appraisement, Etc. To the full extent that it may
lawfully so agree, each Grantor agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, or redemption Law now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or
hinder the enforcement of this Mortgage or the absolute sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale under this Article 4; but each Grantor, for itself and all who may claim under it so far as
it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such Laws. Each Grantor, for itself and all who may claim under it, waives, to the extent that it lawfully may, all right to have the property in the Collateral marshalled
upon any foreclosure hereof, and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclosure under this Mortgage may order the sale of the Collateral as an entirety. 

Section 4.04    Application of Proceeds. After the exercise of remedies pursuant
to Section 4.02 hereof, any payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of the Collateral, when received by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in cash or its equivalent, will be applied in the order
set forth in and in accordance with the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents. 

Section 4.05    Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy hereby
specifically given to the Collateral Agent or otherwise in this Mortgage shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given under this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter
existing at Law, in equity or by statute or treaty and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be
deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or
omission of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension 

  
 23 








 [Mortgage and Security Agreement (Mesa Spare Parts Facility)] 

 
 of any of the Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. No notice to or demand on the Grantors in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any
of the rights of the Collateral Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances. In the event that the Collateral Agent shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the
Collateral Agent may recover reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment. 

Section 4.06    Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Collateral Agent shall
have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, sale entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to
the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the security
interest created under this Mortgage, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted (but otherwise without prejudice). 

ARTICLE 5 
 TERMINATION
OF MORTGAGE 
 Section 5.01    Termination of Mortgage. This Mortgage shall
terminate upon payment and performance in full of the Obligations hereby secured and shall be released as to an Engine or other Collateral to the extent expressly permitted hereby and by the Credit Agreement. Upon termination, the Grantors may
request, at their sole cost and expense, the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver to or as directed in writing by the Grantors an appropriate instrument reasonably required to release the Collateral from the Lien of this Mortgage and the
Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver such instrument as aforesaid at the Grantors’ expense. Except as aforesaid otherwise provided, this Mortgage and the trusts created hereby shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the
terms hereof.

the Grantors desire that the Collateral be released as provided in the foregoing Section 5.01, it shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate signed by an authorized officer stating that the release of the respective Collateral is
permitted pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof and the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Secured Party as the result of any release of Collateral by it as permitted by Section 5.01 hereof.

 [Mortgage and Security Agreement (Mesa Spare Parts Facility)] 

 
 Insureds, such cancellation, lapse or change shall not be effective as to the Additional
Insureds for 30 days (or such lesser period in the case of War Risk Insurance) after receipt by the Additional Insureds of written notice by such insurers of such cancellation, lapse or change, provided that if any notice period specified above is

to the relevant insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 2.03 and Section C of this Exhibit C so as to incorporate the terms of AVN67B into such policies, in which event, to the extent that any provision of any such
AVN67B endorsement conflicts or is otherwise inconsistent with the requirements of Section 2.03 or Exhibit C (including Sections C and D), then such endorsement shall be deemed to satisfy such requirements to the extent covered by such
endorsement. If the terms of AVN67B are incorporated into such policies, the Grantors will cause its insurance broker to issue an undertaking letter to the Additional Insureds confirming that the insurance broker will promptly advise the Additional
Insureds upon becoming aware of the cancellation of or any material change in such insurance policies.

cause to be furnished to the Collateral Agent insurance certificates describing in reasonable detail the insurance maintained by the Grantors hereunder and a report, signed by the Grantors’ regularly retained independent insurance broker (the
“Insurance Broker”), stating the opinion of such Insurance Broker that all premiums in connection with the insurance then due have been paid and that the insurance terms are in compliance with the requirements of Section 2.03,
this Exhibit C and the Credit Agreement. The Grantors will request the Insurance Broker to agree to advise the Collateral Agent in writing of any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission


  
 Exhibit C

 [Mortgage and Security Agreement (Mesa Spare Parts Facility)] 

 
 on the part of the Grantors of which it has knowledge and which might invalidate or
render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the Pledged Spare Parts or any Engines, if applicable, or cause the cancellation, termination or interruption of such insurance; and, if the Insurance Broker does not so agree, the Grantors
shall advise the Collateral Agent in writing of any such default in payment at least 30 days (or such lesser period in the case of War Risk Insurance) prior to the cancellation lapse, or material adverse change of any insurance maintained pursuant
to this Exhibit C). 
 F.        RIGHT TO PAY PREMIUMS. 

Notwithstanding subparagraph D(vii) above, in the event of cancellation of any insurance due to the nonpayment of premiums, the Collateral
Agent shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to pay any such premium in respect of the Pledged Spare Parts or any Engine, if applicable, that is due in respect of the coverage pursuant to the Mortgage and to maintain such coverage, as the
Collateral Agent may require, until the scheduled expiry date of such insurance and, in such event, the Grantors shall, upon demand, reimburse the Collateral Agent for amounts so paid by it. 

G.    SELF-INSURANCE. 

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Pledged Spare Parts, the Grantors shall not be entitled to self insure the risks required to be
insured against pursuant to Section 2.03 and this Exhibit C. With respect to any Engine, the Grantors shall not be entitled to self insure the risks required to be insured against pursuant to Section 2.03 and this Exhibit C other than an
acceptable deductible pursuant to subparagraph D(viii) above.
