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

 A. Borrower and Airframe Manufacturer have entered into the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Airframe Manufacturer agreed to
manufacture and sell to Borrower, and Borrower agreed to purchase and take delivery of, among other things, one (1) Boeing model 737-7BD aircraft bearing manufacturer’s serial number 33939 and equipped with two (2) CFM International
model CFM56-7B20 engines (the “Aircraft”). 
 B. To enable Borrower to purchase and take delivery of the Aircraft on the Delivery
Date, Borrower desires to borrow from Lenders, and Lenders desire to lend to Borrower, a portion of the purchase price of the Aircraft. 
 C.
The parties to this Agreement wish to set forth in this Agreement the terms and conditions upon and subject to which the foregoing transactions shall be effected. 
 The parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION

 The terms defined in Annex A, when capitalized as in Annex A, have the same meanings when used in this Agreement. Annex A also contains
rules of usage that control construction in this Agreement. 
 2. SECURED LOANS; CLOSING 
 2.1 Making of Loans; Issuance of Equipment Notes. 
 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Delivery Date (the “Closing Date”): 
 (a) each Lender agrees to make a secured loan to Borrower in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment; and 
 (b) pursuant to Article 2 of the Mortgage, Borrower shall issue an Equipment Note to each Lender making such loan, dated the Closing Date, for an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of the secured loan made
by such Lender. 
 If any Lender shall default in its obligation to make the amount of its Commitment available pursuant to this Article 2,
except as provided below in this Section 2.1 with respect to RBS, no other Lender shall have an obligation to increase the amount of its Commitment and, 
  

 1 








 notwithstanding the further provisions of this paragraph, the obligations of the non-defaulting Lenders shall remain
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. If a Lender to whom RBS has transferred its Commitment in whole or in part pursuant to Section 7.1 without the consent of Borrower fails to perform its obligation to make a
secured loan on the Closing Date, RBS shall be obligated to make an additional secured loan on the Closing Date in an amount equal to the amount of the secured loan that such Lender was so obligated to, but did not, make. In the event that the
preceding sentence is applicable and RBS is obligated to make an additional secured loan, the Commitment of RBS shall be increased by the amount of such additional secured loan, and the Commitment of the affected Lender shall be reduced by an
equivalent amount, effective on the Closing Date. In the circumstances of the second preceding sentence, such Lender shall be liable to RBS (but not the Borrower) for any damages attributable to its failure to make the secured loan in question which
was made, instead, by RBS. 
 2.2 Procedure for Funding of Secured Loans. 
 (a) Notice of Scheduled Delivery Date. Borrower agrees to give each Lender written notice or telephonic notice (to be confirmed
promptly in writing) of the date the Aircraft is scheduled to be delivered (the “Scheduled Delivery Date”) so that such notice is received by each Lender not later than 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the tenth (10th) day prior to
the Scheduled Delivery Date. Borrower undertakes to promptly notify each Lender of any amendment or change in the Scheduled Delivery Date. 
 (b) Drawdown Notice. No later than 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the fourth (4th) Business Day prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date, Borrower shall deliver to Security Agent on behalf of each Lender
the Drawdown Notice, receipt of which shall, subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, oblige Borrower to borrow an amount equal to the aggregate Commitment (or such lesser amount specified in such Drawdown Notice) on the date stated
and on the terms herein contained. 
 (c) Amortization Schedule. No later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date, Security Agent shall deliver the amortization schedule for the Aircraft to Borrower and Borrower shall no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day deliver written confirmation of such
amortization schedule to Security Agent. In the event a Postponement Notice is delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(e), Security Agent shall deliver to Borrower by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the date to which the
Scheduled Delivery Date is so postponed or as promptly as practicable thereafter, an amortization schedule reflecting the postponed Scheduled Delivery Date for the Aircraft and Borrower shall deliver by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day or
as promptly as practicable thereafter, written confirmation of such schedule to Security Agent. 
 (d) Prospective
International Interest. Prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date, a Prospective International Interest in the Airframe and Engines constituted by the Mortgage shall have been duly registered on the International Registry. 
 (e) Disbursement of Funds. Each Lender agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make its Commitment
available for disbursement to or 
  

 2 








 on behalf of Borrower, in each case in immediately available funds by 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on
the Scheduled Delivery Date in the amount set out in the Drawdown Notice. In order to facilitate the timely closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, Borrower, by delivery of the Drawdown Notice to Security Agent, instructs, subject to its
rights to postpone under Section 2.2(e) below, the Lenders to wire transfer (for receipt by no later than 12:00 Noon New York City time) on the Scheduled Delivery Date its Commitment by the wiring of immediately available funds to the account
of Security Agent specified in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Account”). The funds so paid by each Lender (the “Deposit”) into the Account are to be held by Security Agent for the account of such Lender. Upon the fulfillment or waiver
of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 3 hereof, such Lender shall instruct Security Agent to disburse the Deposit for application of its Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Postponement Notice postponing the Scheduled Delivery
Date shall have been received by Security Agent by 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the postponed Scheduled Delivery Date and if a Lender has not already wired its Commitment to the Account, (i) such Lender shall not
make its Commitment available for disbursement on the postponed Scheduled Delivery Date and (ii) each such Lender shall cancel, terminate or otherwise unwind its funding arrangements made in the London interbank market to fund its Commitment on
the Scheduled Delivery Date, subject, however, to such Lender’s continuing commitment to fund as provided herein. 
 (f)
Postponement of Scheduled Delivery Date. 
 (1) Borrower may change or postpone (indefinitely, or to a specified date)
the Scheduled Delivery Date by telephonic notice (to be confirmed promptly in writing) to Security Agent, provided such notice (specifying the new Delivery Date, if any) is received by Security Agent not later than 3:30 p.m. on such Scheduled
Delivery Date being postponed (the “Postponement Notice”). Such revised Scheduled Delivery Date shall be deemed the “Scheduled Delivery Date” for all purposes of the Operative Agreements. 
 (2) If the Scheduled Delivery Date is postponed and the Deposit has been paid by the Lenders into the Account, then the Deposit will,
pending any return contemplated by Section 2.2(e)(4) below, be invested, together with earnings thereon, and reinvested by Security Agent at the sole direction, for the account, and at the risk of Borrower in an overnight investment selected by
Borrower and acceptable to Security Agent (acting reasonably and in good faith). Upon Borrower’s oral (to be confirmed in writing) instructions, earnings on any such investments shall be applied to Borrower’s payment obligations to each
Lender under Section 2.2(e)(3) to the extent of such earnings. 
 (3) If the Scheduled Delivery Date is postponed and the
Deposit has been paid by the Lenders into the Account, then Borrower shall pay interest hereunder to each Lender on the amount of its Deposit for the period from and including the original Scheduled Delivery Date to but excluding the earlier of
(i) the actual Delivery Date or (ii) the date of return of the Deposit to such Lender pursuant to clause (4) below if such amounts are received by such Lender before 
  

 3 








 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on such date (and if such amounts are received by such Lender after 12:00
Noon, New York City time, the next succeeding Business Day). For each Lender, such interest shall accrue on the amount of such Lender’s Deposit at the applicable Debt Rate. Interest on the Deposit accrued pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall (i) if accrued to the Delivery Date, be paid on the first Payment Date following such date and (ii) if accrued to the date of return of the Deposit, be paid to each Lender on such date. 
 (4) If for any reason, other than the failure of any Lender to comply with the terms hereof, the Scheduled Delivery Date is postponed
beyond the earliest of (x) three (3) Business Days after the Scheduled Delivery Date, (y) the Commitment Termination Date or (z) such earlier date as Borrower shall specify (the “Cutoff Date”), then each such Lender
shall promptly cancel, terminate or otherwise unwind its funding arrangements made in the London interbank market or otherwise (including any Swap Transaction) to fund its Commitment, and such Lender shall notify Security Agent thereof, and Security
Agent shall return its Deposit, subject, however, to such Lender’s continuing commitment to fund at a later Closing Date as provided herein. 
 (5) In the event of the occurrence of the events described in Section 2.2(d)(ii) or clause (4) above, Borrower agrees to pay each Lender promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days of the
relevant Cutoff Date) (i) as compensation for the cancellation or termination of its Commitment (in addition to interest owing under clause (3) above, if any), an amount of damages equal to any loss incurred in connection with the
unwinding or liquidating of any deposits or funding or financing arrangement with its funding source and, if applicable, any Swap Break Amount, and (ii) without duplication of the amounts covered by the preceding clause (i) or to be paid
pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable legal costs and expenses) incurred by such Lender in respect of such cancellation or termination to the
extent described in the definition of Transaction Expenses. 
 2.3 Terms of Repayment. 
 (1) Borrower shall make payments to Security Agent on each Equipment Note of principal scheduled to be paid thereon on such date in
accordance with the amortization schedule attached thereto and accrued interest due and payable on such Equipment Note on such date. The amortization schedules in the aggregate for all Equipment Notes shall be calculated as follows: using the Debt
Rate (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual number of days elapsed or if the Fixed Rate Option has been elected under Section 4.5, on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve 30-day months) for the Equipment Notes
(being, if the Fixed Rate Option has been elected, the Fixed Rate for the Equipment Notes, otherwise, the initial Debt Rate for the Equipment Notes), mortgage-style (level pay) payments payable on each Payment Date from the Delivery Date through the
Maturity Date, payments on 
  

 4 








 each Payment Date during such period sufficient to amortize the Equipment Notes to an aggregate
outstanding principal balance balloon payment due on the Maturity Date, after giving effect to the installment of principal due on such date, of Five Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$5,900,000), or if Borrower shall have delivered a
No-Winglet Notice pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof, of Five Million Eight Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars (US$5,840,000). In respect of the amortization schedule for any particular Equipment Note, the payments due on any Payment Date set forth on
such amortization schedule shall be pro rated based on the ratio by which the Original Amount of such Equipment Note bears to the aggregate Original Amount of all of the Equipment Notes. 
 (2) Interest on each Equipment Note will accrue at the Debt Rate for such Equipment Note (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days
and actual number of days elapsed or if the Fixed Rate Option has been elected under Section 4.5, on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve 30-day months) and will be payable on each Payment Date or other date for the payment of
interest provided herein or in such Equipment Note. The interest payable on each Payment Date or other date, as aforesaid, for any Equipment Note shall include interest accrued to such Payment Date or other date, as aforesaid. 
 (3) The Debt Rate for each Interest Period shall be established by Security Agent in accordance with relevant provisions of this
Agreement. Security Agent shall give prompt notice to Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable Debt Rate determined by Security Agent from time to time in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof and the rate, if any, furnished by each
Reference Bank and used by Security Agent for the purpose of determining the LIBOR Rate. Each determination by Security Agent of a Debt Rate pursuant hereto shall be presumed correct, absent manifest error. 
 (4) Each payment received by Security Agent in respect of an Equipment Note shall be applied: first, to pay amounts due hereunder or under
such Equipment Note other than as specified in the following clauses, second, to pay accrued interest and any Breakage Amount on such Equipment Note (as well as any interest on any overdue amount) to the date of such payment, third, to pay the
principal of such Equipment Note then due, and fourth, the balance, if any, remaining thereafter, to pay installments of the principal of such Equipment Note remaining unpaid in the inverse order of its maturity. 
 (5) Amounts repaid or prepaid on the Equipment Notes may not be reborrowed. 
 2.4 Closing. 
 (a)
Location. The closing (the “Closing”) of the Transactions shall take place on the Closing Date at the offices of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, 425 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017. 
  

 5 








 (b) Funds. Except as provided above, all payments (including prepayments) by
Borrower pursuant to this Article 2 and on any Equipment Note whether on account of principal, interest, Breakage Amount, fees or otherwise shall be made in immediately available funds without set-off, counterclaim or defense to the account of
Security Agent as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto. 
 (c) Business Days. If any payment hereunder becomes due and
payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made
on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding sentence, interest thereon shall be payable at the Debt Rate during such extension. 
 2.5 Commitment Termination. 
 Notwithstanding any provision in this Loan Agreement to the contrary, in the event the delivery of the Aircraft is postponed to a date that is three (3) months beyond the last day of the Scheduled Delivery Month but such date is prior
to the Commitment Termination Date, Security Agent, acting at the written direction of all (and not less than all) of the Lenders committed to financing the acquisition of the Aircraft by Borrower, may terminate the Commitment under this Agreement
upon written notice to Borrower within thirty (30) days of Security Agent’s receipt of written notice from Borrower informing Security Agent of such postponement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the
event the delivery of the Aircraft has been cancelled, Borrower may terminate the Commitment under this Loan Agreement, in whole, but not in part, upon written notice to Security Agent but Borrower may not otherwise reduce or terminate the
Commitments under this Loan Agreement (except as provided in Section 2.6 hereof). If an Event of Default as defined in the form of Mortgage attached hereto as Exhibit A (determined without regard to Section 7.5 hereof) shall have occurred
and be continuing, Security Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority in Interest of the Lenders) may, by written notice to the Borrower, cancel the Commitment(s), and upon such notice, such Commitment(s) shall be cancelled and of no further
effect. If an Event of Default under Sections 5.1(e), (f) or (g) under the form of Mortgage, as aforesaid, shall have occurred and be continuing, the Commitment(s) shall automatically, without any action or notice, be cancelled and of no
further effect. The day on which the Commitment(s) under this Agreement is terminated by Security Agent or Borrower pursuant to the foregoing shall for purposes of this Agreement be deemed a “Termination Date”. 
 2.6 No Winglet Notice. 
 At any time
(but in no event later than four (4) Business Days prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date) Borrower may deliver written notice to Security Agent of Borrower’s intent not to finance the acquisition of winglets for installation on the Aircraft
(the “No Winglet Notice”), in which case the Commitment shall be adjusted as provided in Schedule 2 hereof and the Commitment Fee from and after the date on which Security Agent receives such notice shall be calculated based on the
adjusted Commitment. 
  

 6 








 2.7 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. 
 (1) Each borrowing by Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by Borrower on account of any Commitment Fee and, except as
provided in Section 2.5, any reduction of the Commitment of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment of the Lenders. 
 (2) Each payment (including each prepayment) by Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Equipment Notes shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Equipment
Notes then held by the Lenders (except as otherwise provided in the Mortgage). 
 2.8 Use of Proceeds. 
 Borrower agrees that it shall use the proceeds of each secured loan described in Section 2.1(a) to pay all or a portion of the amount, after giving
effect to the return of any advance payments, of the remaining balance of the purchase price of the Aircraft to the Airframe Manufacturer. 
 3.

Commitment Fee when received to the Lenders in the manner provided in Section 2.7(1). The Commitment Fee shall abate for any day that interest is accruing pursuant to Section 2.2(e)(3) on the Deposit funded. 
 4.4 Increased Costs/Capital Adequacy 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.4(e) below, Borrower shall promptly pay directly to each Lender such amounts as are reasonably necessary to compensate such Lender for any increase in costs which are
attributable to such Lender’s making, maintaining or continuing of its Commitment or the loans evidenced by its Equipment Notes or funding arrangements utilized in connection with such loans (including any hedging arrangement relating to any
Fixed Rate), or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of its Commitment or under the Equipment Notes, such loans or such arrangements (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein
called “Additional Costs”), applicable to the period commencing thirty (30) days prior to Lender’s notification thereof pursuant to Section 4.4(c) and resulting from the adoption of or any change after the date hereof in Law
or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law but, if not having the force of Law, is generally applied by Lender with respect to similar credits
under similar circumstances) from any central bank or other Governmental Entity made subsequent to the date hereof that: 
 (1) shall impose any tax that is the functional equivalent of any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements of the sort covered by clause (2) below; or 
 (2) shall impose or modify any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other
liabilities in or for the account of advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender; or 
 (3) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Equipment Notes (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or any such obligation. 
 (b) Without duplication of any amounts payable by Borrower under Section 4.4(a), if any Lender shall have determined, acting
reasonably and in good faith, that after the date hereof, the adoption of or any change in any Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender
with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law but, if not having the force of law, is generally applied by such Lender with respect to similar credits under similar circumstances) from any
Governmental Entity made subsequent to the date hereof, shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such

  

 12 








 Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material acting reasonably and in good faith, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to
Borrower (with a copy to Security Agent) of a written request therefor, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction attributable to the period commencing
thirty (30) days prior to Lender’s notification thereof pursuant to Section 4.4(c). 
 (c) Each Lender will
furnish to Borrower (with a copy to Security Agent) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth in reasonable detail (i) the events giving rise to the request by such Lender for compensation under subsection (a) or (b) of this
Section 4.4, (ii) the basis for determining such compensation and (iii) the amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 4.4, together with a statement that the
determinations made in respect of the such compensation comply with the provisions of this Section 4.4 and that none of the exceptions set forth in Section 4.4(d) apply with respect to such compensation. Determinations set forth in such
Officer’s Certificate shall be presumed correct, absent manifest error. 
 (d) Borrower shall not be required to make
payments under this Section 4.4 to any Lender if (i) a claim hereunder arises through circumstances peculiar to such Lender and which do not affect commercial banks in the same jurisdiction generally, or (ii) the claim arises out of a
relocation by such Lender of its lending office (except any such relocation effected pursuant to Section 4.4(e)), or (iii) if a comparably situated borrower is being treated more favorably by such Lender (as reasonably determined by such
Lender) in respect of a claim made hereunder. 
 (e) Each Lender will, if requested by Borrower, to the extent not
inconsistent with any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions and subject to the overall policy considerations of such Lender, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for the Equipment Notes of such Lender
affected by such event or, failing that, to take other reasonable measures requested by Borrower (including transferring such Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 7.1(d) hereof) to mitigate the amount of payment of Additional Costs or other
amounts under this Section 4.4, if as a result thereof the additional amounts that would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this Section 4.4 would be reduced or eliminated and if the making, funding or maintaining
of its interest in the Equipment Notes through such other lending office or the taking of such other reasonable measures would not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, result in any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage (other than
de minimis disadvantages) or adverse tax consequences to such Lender (other than adverse tax consequences for which Borrower agrees to indemnify such Lender); provided, that such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other
lending office pursuant to this Section 4.4 unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental out-of-pocket expenses, if any, reasonably incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other lending office as described above; provided,
further, that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate another lending office that does not maintain loans comparable to the loan evidenced by such Lender’s Equipment Note. An Officer’s Certificate as to the 
  

 13 








 amount of any such expenses (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount and
the calculation thereof) submitted by such Lender to Borrower shall be presumed correct, absent manifest error. If after using commercially reasonably efforts as aforesaid such Lender is not able to mitigate the amount of or the need for the
Additional Costs to the reasonable satisfaction of Borrower within thirty (30) days of such Lender’s notice described in Section 4.4(c) hereof, Borrower may prepay in accordance with Section 2.10 of the Mortgage the unpaid
Original Amount of the affected Equipment Notes plus interest accrued thereon. Nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to this Section 4.4. 
 4.5 Fixed Rate Option. 
 (a) At Borrower’s written request, which shall be made in the Drawdown Notice in accordance with Article 2 hereof (the “Fixed Rate Option”), each Lender agrees that the Equipment Notes shall bear interest at a Fixed
Rate. If Borrower exercises the Fixed Rate Option, the aggregate Commitment shall be reduced to the amount specified in Section 2 of Schedule 2 of this Agreement. If such request is so made by Borrower, Borrower shall conduct a swap auction in
which each Lender and Acceptable Potential Swap Counterparty selected by Borrower shall be invited to submit its fixed-rate quote to act as Swap Counterparty in the Swap Transaction with each Lender. At Borrower’s option, Borrower shall have
the right to conduct a second swap auction on the second Business Day before the scheduled Closing Date in which each Lender and Acceptable Potential Swap Counterparty selected by Borrower shall be invited to submit its fixed-rate quote to act as
Swap Counterparty in the Swap Transaction. Three basis points shall be added to the fixed rate quote submitted by each Acceptable Potential Swap Counterparty that is not a Lender (such quote as so adjusted, the “Adjusted Fixed Rate
Quote”). Subject to the next succeeding sentence, the institution submitting the lowest fixed-rate quote (as adjusted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) in such swap auction (or, if a second swap auction is held, such second
swap auction) shall be the Swap Counterparty, and 
 (1) if such institution is a Lender, its quote in such swap auction (or,
if a second swap auction is held, such second swap auction) shall be the Debt Rate for the Equipment Notes, or 
 (2) if such
institution is not a Lender, its Adjusted Fixed Rate Quote in such swap auction (or, if a second swap auction is held, such second swap auction) shall be the Debt Rate for the Equipment Notes. 
 (b) If a Lender submits a fixed-rate quote equal to the lowest Adjusted Fixed Rate Quote submitted by a non-Lender and no other Lender has
submitted a lower fixed-rate quote, then such Lender shall be the Swap Counterparty; provided, if there shall be two or more such Lenders, each such Lender shall be a Swap Counterparty for a pro rata portion of the Swap Transaction with each Lender.
Security Agent and Borrower shall promptly notify the Lenders of the Debt Rate determined in accordance with the above procedures and the identity of the “winning” Swap Counterparty and at the Closing Date, each Lender shall enter into a
Swap Transaction with each such Swap Counterparty. 
  

 14 








 (c) Each Lender agrees that (A) on the date of any redemption or prepayment (whether
voluntary or mandatory) of the Equipment Notes for any reason (including any redemption of the Equipment Notes effected pursuant to Sections 2.9 and 2.10 of the Mortgage) each such Lender will, and (B) upon or at any time following the
acceleration of the Equipment Notes upon or following the occurrence of an Event of Default, such Lender may ask the Swap Counterparty to settle-out the Swap Transaction, and in furtherance thereof will request the Swap Counterparty to notify
Borrower and such Lender by 1:00 p.m., New York time, on such date (the “Settlement Date”) of the Swap Break Amount; provided, that if the Obligations are paid in full and the Lien of the Mortgage is discharged, then such Lender will
promptly settle-out the Swap Transaction. 
 (d) Subject to due compliance with and after payment in full of all amounts then
due and owing to all Lenders under the Equipment Notes and if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Lender shall pay over to Borrower any Swap Breakage Gain that it receives from the Swap Counterparty as a result of a
payment contemplated by Section 4.5(c), promptly after such Lender receives such payment, in immediately available funds, to such account as Borrower directs; provided, if a Default or Event of Default is then in existence, such payment shall
be made to Security Agent as security for Borrower’s obligations under the Operative Agreements, and at such time as such Default or Event of Default no longer exists, such payment and any gain realized as a result of investments required to be
made pursuant to Article 6 of the Mortgage shall be (to the extent not applied as provided in the Mortgage) paid over to Borrower. 
 (e) If a Lender (or any of its Affiliates) is the “winning” Swap Counterparty with respect to such Lender’s Equipment Notes, then: 
 (1) such Lender shall be deemed to have entered into a Swap Transaction with itself (or its Affiliate) satisfying in each case the terms and conditions of Section 4.5(a); and 
 (2) such Lender (in its capacity as Swap Counterparty) agrees, or will cause its Affiliate to agree, to the swap settlement and unwind
procedures contained in Section 4.5(c), and covenants to pay any Swap Breakage Gain promptly as if it were a third party Swap Counterparty (and in its capacity as a Lender to apply such amounts as provided in the Operative Agreements) and to
comply with all of the terms and conditions thereof applicable to the Swap Counterparty. 
 4.6 Past Due Interest. 
 Any amounts not paid under the Operative Agreements by Borrower when due shall bear interest at the Past-Due Rate (calculated on the basis of a year of
360 days and actual number of days elapsed or if the Fixed Rate Option has been elected under Section 4.5, on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve 30-day months), and shall be payable on demand. 
  

 15 








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

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

 (d) Approvals. Borrower’s execution
and delivery of, and performance of its obligations under, this Agreement do not, and, on the Closing Date, each of the other Operative Agreements to which Borrower is a party and the consummation by Borrower of any transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby will not, require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, the recording or filing of any documents with, or the taking of any other action in respect of (1) any trustee or other holder of any debt

recent annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly report on Form 10-Q or current report on Form 8-K filed by Holdings with the SEC on or prior to December 31, 2005, no action, claim or proceeding is now pending or, to Borrower’s Actual

Lenders, as collateral security for the Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of Borrower and any Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from Borrower, in any applicable jurisdiction in the United

defined in UCC Article 9), and will promptly take any action required by Section 6.1(c)(3) as a result of such change of name or relocation. 
 (c) Certain Assurances. 
 (1) Borrower shall duly execute, acknowledge, and deliver
(or cause to be executed, acknowledged, and delivered) all such further documents, and shall do and cause to be done such further things, as Security Agent reasonably requests to accomplish the purposes of the Operative Agreements, provided that any
document so executed by Borrower will not expand any obligations or limit any rights of Borrower in respect of the Transactions. 
 (2) Borrower shall, at its own cost, promptly take such action with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording, and re-filing of the Mortgage, and any supplements thereto, as shall be necessary to continue the perfection and priority of
the Lien created by the Mortgage. 
 (3) Borrower will cause the FAA-Filed Documents, the Financing Statement, all
continuation statements (and any amendments necessitated by any combination, consolidation, or merger of Borrower, or any change in its name or of its jurisdiction of organization) in respect of the Financing Statements, to be prepared and duly and
timely filed and recorded, or filed for recordation, to the extent permitted under the Transportation Code (with respect to the FAA-Filed Documents) or the UCC or similar law of any other applicable jurisdiction (with respect to such other
documents). 
 (4) Borrower, at its own cost and expense, from time to time, shall promptly enter into such amendments of the
Operative Agreements or into new Operative Agreements (in form satisfactory to the parties), make or approve registrations, filings and recordings, and/or do or cause to be done such additional acts and things which may be reasonably requested by
Security Agent as being required by or advisable under applicable Law, in order that (x) the Operative Agreements effectively constitute International Interests, while retaining the commercial and business agreements of the parties as described
therein in any such new Operative Agreements, and provide to the Lenders and the Security Agent the full benefit of the Cape Town Convention with respect to the Airframe and the Engines, and (y) the Operative Agreements contain such provisions
as may be necessary to confirm the commercial and business agreements of the 
  

 21 








 parties therein to the greatest extent permitted under the Cape Town Convention, including, without
limitation, with respect to: 
 (A) matters concerning the documentation and registration in the International Registry of
International Interest(s) or Prospective International Interest(s) which are, or may be, vested in Security Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Operative Agreements and the relative priority thereof contemplated in the Operative
Agreements as against competing interests; 
 (B) matters concerning Sales and Prospective Sales which are required or
permitted by this Agreement or the other Operative Agreements, including with respect to documentation and registration in the International Registry and the relative priority thereof contemplated in the Operative Agreements as against competing

is required or permitted or constituted by this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, the documentation and registration thereof in the International Registry and the relative priority thereof contemplated in the Operative Agreements as

provisions of Section 5.4 of the Mortgage, including or excluding in writing the application of any provisions of the Cape Town Convention and/or the Protocol that Security Agent, acting reasonably may deem advisable in connection with the
foregoing. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provisions of the Operative Agreements, the Borrower hereby
consents, pursuant to Article XV of the Protocol, to any Assignment of Associated Rights within the scope of Article 33(1) of the Cape Town Convention which is permitted or required by the Operative Agreements and further agrees that the provisions

beneficial interest or Security relating to the ownership of the Aircraft or any interest in the Collateral or any of the Equipment Notes, for sale to, or solicit any offer to acquire any such interest or security from, or sell any such interest or
security to, any Person in violation of the registration requirements of the Securities Act or in violation of the registration requirements of applicable state or foreign securities Laws. 
  

 22

the Operative Agreements has occurred or is continuing or, if such is not the case, specifying such Default or Event of Default and its nature, when it occurred and the steps being taken by Borrower with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the
foregoing to the contrary, if Holdings is subject to, and so long as Holdings is complying with the reporting requirements under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the timely delivery (or public posting on the website of the Securities
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of a copy of Holdings’ report on Form 10-K (or any successor form) with respect to the relevant year shall satisfy the requirements of clause (x) and the timely delivery (or public posting on the
SEC’s website) a copy of Holdings’ report on Form 10Q (or any successor form) for the relevant quarter shall satisfy the requirements of clause (y); and 
 (2) Without limiting Security Agent’s inspection rights in the Mortgage, promptly upon the reasonable request of Security Agent,

 (a) In General. Borrower shall not convey all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions to, or consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person under circumstances in which Borrower is not
the surviving corporation, unless: 
 (1) after giving effect to such conveyance, consolidation or merger, such Person is
organized, existing, and in good standing under the Laws of the United States, any state of the United States, or the District of Columbia, and, upon consummation of such transaction, such Person will be a U.S. Air Carrier with respect to which,
absent a change in law or court interpretation, Security Agent will be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110; 
  

 23 








 (2) such Person executes and delivers to Security Agent a duly authorized, legal, valid
and binding agreement, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Security Agent, containing an effective assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant, agreement, and condition in the Operative
Agreements to be performed or observed by Borrower, together with customary officer’s certificates and legal opinions in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Security Agent; 
 (3) such Person, immediately after giving effect to such conveyance, consolidation or merger, shall have a tangible net worth of not less

exercise every right and power of, Borrower under the Operative Agreements with the same effect as if such Person had been named as “Borrower” therein. No such conveyance, consolidation or merger shall have the effect of releasing Borrower
or such Person from any of the obligations, liabilities, covenants, or undertakings of Borrower under the Mortgage. 
 6.3 Lender
Covenants. 
 Each Lender agrees for the benefit of Borrower as follows: 
 (a) Quiet Enjoyment. Notwithstanding the effect of any provision in the Cape Town Convention to the contrary, which by the terms of
the Cape Town Convention may be derogated from or varied, it agrees that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, it shall not, and shall not permit any Affiliate or other Person claiming by, through or under it to, and
shall not instruct Security Agent to interfere with Borrower’s or any Permitted Lessee’s right of continuing possession, use and operation of, and quiet enjoyment of, the Aircraft subject to the restrictions therein provided in the
Operative Agreements. 
 (b) Liens. No Lender (1) will directly or indirectly create, incur, assume, or suffer to
exist any Lien on all or any part of the Collateral arising as a result of (a) claims 
  

 24 








 against such Lender not related to its interest in the Aircraft or the Collateral or the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Agreements or (b) acts of such Lender not permitted by, or the failure of such Lender to take any action required by, the Operative Agreements and (2) will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take such

Security Agent on all or any part of the Collateral. 
 (b) Securities Laws. Security Agent will not offer any
beneficial interest or security relating to the ownership of the Aircraft or any interest in the Collateral, or any of the Equipment Notes for sale to, or solicit any offer to acquire any such interest or security from, or sell any such interest or
security to, any Person in violation of the registration requirements of the Securities Act or in violation of the registration requirements of applicable state or foreign securities Laws. 
 7. ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OF INTEREST; SALE-LEASEBACK
TRANSACTIONS; JUNIOR LOANS; TERMINATION OF CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION AND CROSS-DEFAULT

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

 25 








 Transferee, by execution and delivery of a Transfer Agreement in connection with such Transfer, shall be
bound, to the extent provided therein, by all of the covenants of the transferring Lender in the Operative Agreements. In connection with any Transfer or participation, Article 8 shall continue to apply with respect to any confidential and
proprietary information of Borrower and, prior to disclosing such information to a Transferee or participant or potential Transferee or participant, Lender shall obtain the agreements of Transferee(s) and such other Persons as contemplated by clause
(b) of Article 8. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Operative Agreements to the contrary, no Lender shall be entitled to Transfer or grant participations to any Person in all or any portion of its Commitment, Equipment Notes or all or any
portion of its beneficial interest in its Commitment or Equipment Notes, unless such Transfer or participation is in respect of a Commitment amount or an unpaid Original Amount that is greater than or equal to Five Million Dollars (US$5,000,000), or
if less, the outstanding Original Amount of the Equipment Notes or the outstanding amount of such Lender’s Commitment, as the case may be. 
 (b) Securities Law. Each Lender agrees that it will not Transfer or grant participations in its Commitment, any Equipment Note which it holds or any interest in, or represented by, its Commitment or any
Equipment Note which it holds in violation of the registration requirements of the Securities Act or in violation of the registration requirements of applicable state or foreign securities Laws. 
 (c) ERISA. Each Lender agrees that it will not Transfer any Equipment Note which it holds or any interest in, or represented by any
Equipment Note which it holds unless the proposed Transferee thereof first provides Borrower with a written representation in the applicable Transfer Agreement that either (a) no portion of the funds used by it to purchase such Equipment Note
constitutes “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulations codified at 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101) of any Plan, or (b) its purchase of such Equipment Note will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under Section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Code or Section 406(a) of ERISA. 
 (d) Transfer at
Request of Borrower. In the event that Indemnified Withholding Taxes become payable by Borrower pursuant to Section 9.3(a) hereof with respect to payments by Borrower to a Lender under an Equipment Note or pursuant to any Operative
Agreement and the elimination or sufficient reduction of such Indemnified Withholding Taxes pursuant to a transfer described in the last sentence of such Section 9.3(a) is not accomplished, such Lender shall, upon the written request of
Borrower, sell in accordance with this Section 7.1 the affected Equipment Notes to a Person identified by Borrower to which payments under the Equipment Notes would not be subject to withholding Taxes under then applicable Law for an amount
which, together with any supplemental payment by Borrower in connection with such sale, shall be equal to the par value of such affected Equipment Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon plus any Breakage Amount. In the circumstances required
in Section 4.4 and Section 4.7, the affected Lender shall, upon the written request of Borrower, sell in accordance with this Section 7 the affected Equipment Notes to a Person identified by Borrower for an amount which, together with
any supplemental payment by Borrower in connection with such 
  

 26 








 sale, shall be equal to the par value of such affected Equipment Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest
thereon plus any Breakage Amount. Out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any, (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by any Lender or Security Agent in connection with any such transfer shall be for the account of
Borrower. 
 (e) Federal Reserve Bank. Any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in its interest
in the Equipment Notes it holds and in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or grant of a security interest to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and
Section 7.1 shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee
for such Lender as a party hereto; and provided, further, that no such pledge or grant shall diminish Borrower’s rights or increase Borrower’s liability or obligations or the amounts thereof (including with respect to withholding Taxes)
above that which would result had any such pledge or grant not occurred (except to the extent resulting from a change in Law after the date of such pledge or grant) and that in connection with any such pledge or grant, (except to the Federal Reserve
Bank, but subject to confidentiality arrangements as are customary in pledges or grants to the Federal Reserve Bank) Article 8 shall continue to apply with respect to any confidential and proprietary information of Borrower and, prior to disclosing
such information to pledgee or grantee, Lender shall obtain the agreements of pledgee(s), grantee(s) and such other Persons as contemplated by clause (b) of Article 8. 
 7.2 Effect of Transfer; Costs. 
 Upon
any Transfer in accordance with Section 7.1 (other than any Transfer by any Lender to the extent it only grants participations in Equipment Notes it holds or in its interest therein or represented thereby), the Transferee shall be deemed a
“Lender” for all purposes of the Operative Agreements, and the transferring Lender shall be released from all of its liabilities and obligations with respect to such transferred Equipment Note under the Operative Agreements to the extent
such liabilities and obligations arise with respect to the period after such Transfer (or as otherwise agreed between the transferring Lender and the Transferee) and, in each case, to the extent such liabilities and obligations are assumed by the
Transferee; provided, that such transferring Lender (and its Affiliates, successors, assigns, agents, representatives, directors, and officers) will continue to have the benefit of any rights or indemnities under any Operative Agreement vested or
relating to circumstances, conditions, acts, or events before such Transfer (or as otherwise agreed between the transferring Lender and the Transferee). The transferring Lender agrees that it shall reimburse, or shall cause the Transferee to
reimburse, Borrower and Security Agent for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with any such Transfer. 
 7.3 Junior Loans. 
 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any Operative Agreement upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the parties hereto, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right to issue, at any time
within eighteen (18) months 
  

 27 








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

 28 








 7.5 Termination of Cross-Collateralization and Cross-Defaults. 
 (a) Majority. If at any time a majority of the aggregate unpaid Original Amount of all Equipment Notes in respect of the Aircraft
ceases to be held by the same Lender or Lenders as the “lender” or “lenders” holding a majority (or more) of the aggregate unpaid Original Amount of all Related Equipment Notes in respect of any one or more other Related Aircraft
and/or holding a majority (or more) of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all PDP Notes, then unless such change of holding occurred as the result of the lawful exercise of remedies following an Event of Default (x) the Related Equipment
Notes issued, and the Related Mortgages entered into, in respect of such one or more other Related Aircraft and/or the PDP Notes and the PDP Security Agreements, as the case may be, shall, without further act of the parties hereto or thereto, no
longer be deemed to be “Related Notes” or “Related Mortgages” for purposes of this Agreement or the Mortgage and (y) the Lenders accept and agree that, unless otherwise agreed therein, the Equipment Notes and the Mortgage
shall, without further act of the parties hereto or thereto, no longer be deemed to be “Related Notes” or a “Related Mortgage” under the terms of the Related Mortgage(s) in respect of such one or more other Related Aircraft
and/or the PDP Security Agreements, as the case may be. 
 (b) Sale-Leaseback; Junior Loan. If the Aircraft is one of
three (3) Eligible Aircraft which are subjected to a Sale-Leaseback pursuant to Section 7.4 or is one of three (3) Eligible Aircraft which are subjected to a Junior Loan pursuant to Section 7.3 then (x) the Related Equipment
Notes issued, and the Related Mortgages entered into, in respect of the Eligible Aircraft not subjected to a Sale-Leaseback with the same owner participants (in the case of Section 7.4) or to a Junior Loan with the same lenders (in the case of
Section 7.3) (for purposes of this Section 7.5(b) only, the “No-Cross Aircraft”) and the PDP Notes and PDP Security Agreements shall, without further act of the parties hereto or thereto, no longer be deemed to be “Related
Notes” or “Related Mortgages” for purposes of this Agreement or the Mortgage and (y) the Lenders accept and agree that, unless otherwise agreed therein, the Equipment Notes and the Mortgage shall, without further act of the
parties hereto or thereto, no longer be deemed to be “Related Notes” or a “Related Mortgage” under the terms of the Related Mortgage(s) in respect of the No-Cross Aircraft and the PDP Security Agreements. 
 (c) Payment. If the unpaid Original Amount of (plus the unpaid and accrued interest thereon and all other amounts due under the
Operative Agreements with respect to) all Equipment Notes are paid in full and the Lien of the Mortgage is discharged and terminated in accordance with the terms thereof, (x) then the Related Equipment Notes issued, and the Related Mortgages
entered into, in respect of the Related Aircraft and the PDP Notes and the PDP Security Agreements shall, without further act of the parties hereto or thereto, no longer be deemed to be “Related Notes” or “Related Mortgages” for
purposes of this Agreement or the Mortgage and (y) the Lenders accept and agree that, unless otherwise agreed therein, the Equipment Notes and the Mortgage shall, without further act of the parties hereto or thereto, no longer be deemed to be
“Related Notes” or a “Related Mortgage” under the terms of the Related Mortgage(s) in respect of such one or more other Related Aircraft and the PDP Security Agreements.

	 	(10)	to the extent that it is an ordinary and usual operating or overhead expense; 

  

	 	(11)	for any Lien attributable to such Indemnitee or any Related Indemnitee that Borrower is not obligated to discharge under the Operative Agreements; 

  

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

  

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

  

 32 








 For purposes of this Section 9.1, a Person shall be considered a “Related Indemnitee” of
an Indemnitee if that Person is an Affiliate or employer of such Indemnitee, a director, officer, employee, agent, or servant of such Indemnitee or any such Affiliate. 
 (c) Separate Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.1 constitute a separate agreement with respect to each Indemnitee,
and is enforceable directly by each such Indemnitee. 
 (d) Notice. If an Indemnitee makes a claim for any Expense
indemnifiable under this Section 9.1, such Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnitee’s failure to notify Borrower as provided in this Section 9.1(d), or in
Section 9.1(e), shall not release Borrower from any of its obligations to indemnify such Indemnitee hereunder, except to the extent that such failure results in an additional Expense to Borrower (in which event Borrower shall not be responsible
for such additional Expense) or materially impairs Borrower’s ability to contest such claim. 
 (e) Notice of
Proceedings; Defense of Claims; Limitations. 
 (1) If any action, suit, or proceeding for which Borrower is responsible
under this Section 9.1 is brought against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall notify Borrower of the commencement thereof, and Borrower may, at its expense, participate in and, to the extent that it so desires (subject to the provisions of
the following paragraph), assume and control the defense thereof and, subject to Section 9.1(e)(3), settle or compromise it. 
 (2) Borrower or its insurer(s) shall have the right, at its or their cost and expense, to investigate and the right in Borrower’s sole discretion, acting through counsel reasonably satisfactory to the respective Indemnitee, if Borrower
has acknowledged in writing that it will indemnify such Indemnitee for such Expense (except that such acknowledgment does not apply if its is determined that Borrower is not liable hereunder) (A) in any judicial or administrative proceeding
that involves an Expense and other claims which do not involve such Indemnitee, to assume responsibility for and control of the defense thereof, (B) in any judicial or administrative proceeding that involves an Expense and other claims against
such Indemnitee related or unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements, (x) to assume responsibility for and control of the defense of such Expense to the extent that the same may be and is severed from such other
claims (and such Indemnitee shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain such severance) or (y) if such Expense is not severable from other claims that are material to such Indemnitee in relation to the Equipment Notes held by such Indemnitee, to
assume responsibility for and control of the defense of such Expense if such assumption would not, in such Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment, prejudice or impair in any material respect, such Indemnitee’s management of such other claims and
(C) in any other case, to be consulted by such Indemnitee and in which case such Indemnitee agrees to cooperate with reasonable requests of Borrower, each such request at Borrower’s 
  

 33 








 cost and expense, with respect to judicial proceedings subject to the control of such Indemnitee and to
be allowed, at Borrower’s cost and expense, to participate therein. The Indemnitee may participate at its own cost and expense and with its own counsel in any judicial proceeding controlled by Borrower pursuant to the preceding provisions;
provided that such Indemnitee’s participation does not, in Borrower’s reasonable judgment, prejudice or impair in any material respect the defense and management of such case. Borrower shall not be entitled to control the defense of any
such action, suit, or proceeding, or to compromise any such Expense (and the relevant Indemnitee shall be entitled to assume such control), while (a) any Event of Default exists, or (b) if such proceedings will involve (i) a material
risk of the sale, forfeiture, or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Lien) on the Aircraft, or the Collateral, unless Borrower shall have posted a bond or other security or collateral reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee
in respect to such risk, (c) if such proceedings are likely to entail any risk of criminal liability or material risk of civil liability being imposed on such Indemnitee that, in the case of civil liability in the reasonable opinion of such
Indemnitee, adversely affects in any material respect the business reputation of such Indemnitee or if, in the reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee, control by Borrower would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest. 
 (3) In no event shall any Indemnitee enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any Expense without Borrower’s prior
written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Expense under this Section 9.1 or is required by Law to do so. 
 (4) To the extent that any Expense indemnified by Borrower hereunder may be covered by insurance maintained by Borrower, at
Borrower’s expense, each Indemnitee agrees to cooperate with all reasonable requests of insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend, or compromise such Expense as may be required to retain the benefits of such insurance with
respect to such Expense. 
 (5) If an Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, Borrower may require such Indemnitee to
agree in writing to the terms of this Section 9.1 and Section 11.8 before making any payment to such Indemnitee under this Article 9. 
 (6) Nothing in this Section 9.1(e) shall require an Indemnitee to assume responsibility for or control of any judicial proceeding with respect thereto. 
 (f) Information. Borrower will provide the relevant Indemnitee with such information not within the control of such Indemnitee (but
in Borrower’s control or reasonably available to Borrower) which such Indemnitee reasonably requests, and will otherwise cooperate with such Indemnitee so as to enable such Indemnitee to fulfill its obligations under Section 9.1(e). The
Indemnitee shall supply Borrower with such information not within the control of Borrower (but in such Indemnitee’s control or reasonably available to such Indemnitee) which Borrower reasonably requests to control or participate in any
proceeding to the extent permitted by Section 9.1(e). 
  

 34 








 (g) Effect of Other Indemnities. Upon payment in full by or on behalf of Borrower
of any indemnity provided for under this Agreement, Borrower, without any further action and to the full extent permitted by Law, will be subrogated to all rights and remedies of the Person indemnified (other than with respect to any of such
Indemnitee’s insurance policies or in connection with any indemnity claim of such Indemnitee under Section 10.4) in respect of the matter as to which such indemnity was paid. Each Indemnitee will give such further assurances or agreements
and cooperate with Borrower to permit Borrower to pursue such claims, to the extent reasonably requested by Borrower and at Borrower’s expense. 
 (h) Refunds. If an Indemnitee receives any refund from any party other than Borrower or its insurers, in whole or in part, with respect to any Expense paid by Borrower hereunder, that Indemnitee will promptly
pay the amount refunded (but not an amount in excess of the amount Borrower or any of its insurers has paid in respect of such Expense) over to Borrower unless a Default or Event of Default exists, in which case such amount shall be paid over to
Security Agent to hold as security for Borrower’s obligations under the relevant Operative Agreements until such time as such Default or Event of Default no longer exists, in which case such amount and any gain realized as a result of
investments required to be made pursuant to Article 6 of the Mortgage shall be (except to the extent theretofore applied as provided in the Mortgage) paid over to Borrower. 
 9.2 Expenses. 
 Except as otherwise
provided with respect to particular matters in the Operative Agreements, Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by Security Agent in connection with
any waiver, consent or approval or amendment or modification of any Operative Agreement requested by Borrower; and each Lender agrees that it shall reimburse Borrower and Security Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by Borrower and Security Agent in connection with any waiver, consent or approval or amendment or modification of any Operative Agreement requested by it. 
 9.3 General Tax Indemnity. 
 (a) Withholding Taxes. Except as provided in Section 9.3(c), Borrower agrees that each payment paid by Borrower under the Equipment Notes, and any other payment or indemnity paid by Borrower to a Lender under any Operative
Agreement, shall be free of all withholdings or deductions with respect to Taxes of any nature unless the withholding or deduction is required by law, and if any such withholding or deduction for any such payment is required by applicable Law,
(1) all such withholdings or deductions shall be made as provided in Section 2.3(b) of the Mortgage, (2) if and to the extent that all or any portion of the required withholdings or deductions constitutes Indemnified 
  

 35 








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

 36 








 the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any Part, or any interest in any of the foregoing (whether or
not indemnified against by any other Person), upon or with respect to the Operative Agreements or the transactions or payments contemplated thereby, including any Tax imposed upon or with respect to (x) the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine,
any Part, any Operative Agreement (including any Equipment Notes), any data, or any other thing delivered or to be delivered under an Operative Agreement, (y) the purchase, manufacture, acceptance, rejection, sale, transfer of title, return,
ownership, mortgaging, delivery, transport, charter, rental, lease, re-lease, sublease, assignment, possession, repossession, presence, use, condition, storage, preparation, maintenance, modification, alteration, improvement, operation,
registration, transfer or change of registration, re-registration, repair, replacement, overhaul, location, control, imposition of any Lien, financing, refinancing requested by Borrower, abandonment, or other disposition of the Aircraft, the
Airframe, any Engine, any Part, any data, or any other thing delivered or to be delivered under an Operative Agreement or (z) interest, fees, or other income, proceeds, receipts, or earnings, whether actual or deemed, arising upon, in
connection with, or in respect of any of the Operative Agreements (including the property or income or other proceeds with respect to property held as part of the Collateral) or the transactions contemplated thereby. 
 (c) Certain Exceptions. The provisions of Section 9.3(a) and Section 9.3(b) shall not apply to, and Borrower shall have
no liability hereunder for, Taxes: 
 (1) imposed on a Tax Indemnitee by any Taxing Authority or governmental subdivision
thereof or therein (A) on, based on, or measured by gross or net income or gross or net receipts, including capital gains taxes, excess profits taxes, minimum taxes from tax preferences, alternative minimum taxes, branch profits taxes,
accumulated earnings taxes, personal holding company taxes, succession taxes and estate taxes, and any withholding taxes on, based on, or measured by gross or net income or receipts, or (B) on, or with respect to, or measured by capital or net
worth or in the nature of a franchise tax or a tax for the privilege of doing business (other than, in the case of clause (A) or (B), (y) sales, use, license, or property Taxes, or (z) any Taxes imposed by any Taxing Authority (other
than a Taxing Authority within whose jurisdiction such Tax Indemnitee (i) is incorporated or organized or maintains its principal place of business or (ii) maintains a permanent establishment in the United States, if and to the extent that
the income, receipts or gains to which such Taxes relate are effectively connected with such permanent establishment, other than by reason of a change in law occurring after the date such Tax Indemnitee acquires an interest in the
Commitment or an Equipment Note.) if such Tax Indemnitee would not have been subject to Taxes of such type by such jurisdiction but for (i) the location, use, or operation of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any Part thereof by an
Borrower Person within the jurisdiction of the Taxing Authority imposing such Tax, or (ii) the activities of any Borrower Person in such jurisdiction, including use of any other aircraft by Borrower in such jurisdiction, (iii) the status
of any Borrower Person as a foreign entity or as an entity owned in whole or in part by foreign persons, (iv) Borrower having made (or having been deemed to have made) payments to such Tax Indemnitee from the relevant 
  

 37 








 jurisdiction, or (v) in the case of Lender, Borrower’s being incorporated or organized or
maintaining a place of business or conducting activities in such jurisdiction); 
 (2) on, with respect to, or measured by any
fees, commissions, or compensation received by Security Agent; 
 (3) that are being contested as provided in
Section 9.3(e); 
 (4) imposed on any Tax Indemnitee to the extent that such Taxes result from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Tax Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof; 
 (5) imposed on or with respect to a Tax Indemnitee
(including the transferee in those cases in which the Tax on transfer is imposed on, or is collected from, the transferee) as a result of a transfer or other disposition (including a deemed transfer or disposition) by such Tax Indemnitee or a
related Tax Indemnitee of any interest in the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any Part, any interest arising under the Operative Agreements, or any Equipment Note, or as a result of a transfer or disposition (including a deemed transfer or
disposition) of any interest in a Tax Indemnitee (other than (1) a substitution or replacement of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any Part by a Borrower Person that is treated for Tax purposes as a transfer or disposition, or
(2) a transfer pursuant to an exercise of remedies upon a then-existing Event of Default); 
 (6) in excess of those that
would have been imposed had there not been a transfer or other disposition described in clause (6) of this Section 9.3(c) by or to such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee (except to the extent resulting from a change in Law after
the date of such transfer or disposition); 
 (7) consisting of any interest, penalties, or additions to tax imposed on a Tax
Indemnitee as a result (in whole or in part) of a failure of such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee to file any return properly and timely, unless such failure is caused by Borrower’s failure to fulfill its obligations (if any) under
Section 9.3(g) with respect to such return; 
 (8) resulting from, or that would not have been imposed but for, any Liens
arising as a result of claims against, or acts or omissions of, or otherwise attributable to such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee that Borrower is not obligated to discharge under the Operative Agreements; 
 (9) imposed on any Tax Indemnitee as a result of the breach by such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee of any covenant of such Tax
Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof contained in any Operative Agreement or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty by such Tax Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof in any Operative Agreement; 
  

 38 








 (10) in the nature of an intangible or similar Tax upon or with respect to the value or
principal amount of the interest of any Lender in any Equipment Note or the loan evidenced thereby, but only if such Taxes are in the nature of franchise Taxes or result from the conduct of business by such Tax Indemnitee in the taxing jurisdiction
and are imposed because of the place of incorporation or the activities unrelated to the Transactions in the taxing jurisdiction of such Tax Indemnitee; 
 (11) imposed on a Tax Indemnitee by a Taxing Authority, to the extent that such Taxes result from a connection between the Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee and such jurisdiction imposing such Tax unrelated
to the Transactions; or 
 (12) to the extent imposed on an Indemnitee as a result of any non-exempt “prohibited
transaction” under 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code caused by such Indemnitee. 
 For purposes hereof, a Tax
Indemnitee and any other Tax Indemnitees who are successors, assigns, agents, or Affiliates of such Tax Indemnitee shall be related Tax Indemnitees. 
  

	 	(d)	Payment. 

 (1) Borrower’s
indemnity obligation to a Tax Indemnitee under this Section 9.3 shall equal the amount which, after taking into account any Tax imposed upon the receipt or accrual of the amounts payable under this Section 9.3 and any Tax Benefits realized
by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of the indemnifiable Tax (including any benefits realized as a result of such Tax Indemnitee’s use of an indemnifiable Tax as a credit against Taxes not indemnifiable under this Section 9.3), shall equal
the amount of the Tax indemnifiable under this Section 9.3. 
 (2) At Borrower’s request, in the event there is a
dispute with respect to the computation of the amount of any indemnity payment owed by Borrower or any amount owed by a Tax Indemnitee to Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.3 (including, without limitation, whether a Tax refund has been
received that a Tax Indemnitee would be required to pay to Borrower pursuant to Section 9.3(f) and whether a Tax Benefit has been realized that a Tax Indemnitee would be required to pay to Borrower pursuant to Section 9.3(d)(5)) such
computation shall be verified and certified by an independent public accounting firm selected by such Tax Indemnitee and reasonably satisfactory to Borrower. Each Tax Indemnitee shall upon request provide to such accounting firm such information in
such Tax Indemnitee’s possession or control as is reasonably necessary (which such determination is in such accounting firm’s sole discretion, exercised in good faith), for the performance of such verification (subject to the accounting
firm’s execution and delivery of a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Tax Indemnitee); provided, however, that in no event shall the tax returns, filings and confidential work papers of such Tax
Indemnitee 
  

 39 








 be required to be disclosed (provided that the disclosure of information set forth in such tax returns,
filings and confidential work papers (as distinct from such returns, filings and work papers), shall be provided and shall not be protected from disclosure if needed for the verification of the computation of such indemnity payment or such amount
owed to Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Borrower have the right to receive any information provided to the accounting firm pursuant to the prior sentence. Such verification shall be binding. The costs of such verification
(including the fee of such public accounting firm) shall be borne by Borrower unless such verification results in an adjustment in Borrower’s favor that exceeds the greater of (A) 7.5% of the net present value of the payment as computed by
such Tax Indemnitee or (B) $15,000, in which case the costs shall be paid by such Tax Indemnitee. 
 (3) Each Tax
Indemnitee shall provide Borrower with such certifications, and such information and documentation in such Tax Indemnitee’s possession or control, and Borrower reasonably requests to minimize any indemnity payment pursuant to this
Section 9.3. 
 (4) Each Tax Indemnitee shall promptly forward to Borrower any written notice, bill, or advice that such
Tax Indemnitee receives from any Taxing Authority concerning any Tax for which it seeks indemnification under this Section 9.3. Borrower shall pay any amount for which it is liable pursuant to this Section 9.3 directly to the appropriate
Taxing Authority if legally permissible, or, upon demand of a Tax Indemnitee, to such Tax Indemnitee within thirty (30) days of such demand (or, if a contest occurs in accordance with Section 9.3(d), within thirty (30) days after a
Final Determination (as defined below)), but in no event more than three (3) Business Days before the related Tax is due. If requested by a Tax Indemnitee in writing, Borrower shall furnish to the appropriate Tax Indemnitee the original or a
certified copy of a receipt for Borrower’s payment of any Tax paid by Borrower (if such a receipt is reasonably obtainable from the applicable Taxing Authority), or such other evidence of payment of such Tax as is reasonably acceptable to such
Tax Indemnitee. Borrower shall also furnish promptly upon written request such data as any Tax Indemnitee reasonably requires to enable such Tax Indemnitee to comply with the requirements of any taxing jurisdiction, unless such data are not within
the possession or control of Borrower or (unless such data are specifically requested by a Taxing Authority) are not customarily furnished by U.S. domestic air carriers under similar circumstances. For purposes of this Section 9.3, a
“Final Determination” is (A) a decision, judgment, decree, or other order by any court of competent jurisdiction that occurs pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.3(e), which decision, judgment, decree, or other order has
become final and unappealable, (B) a closing agreement or settlement agreement entered into in accordance with Section 9.3(e) that has become binding and is not subject to further review or appeal (absent fraud, misrepresentation, etc.),
or (C) the termination of administrative proceedings and the expiration of the time for instituting a claim in a court proceeding. 
  

 40 








 (5) If any Tax Indemnitee actually realizes a Tax Benefit by reason of any Tax paid or
indemnified by Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.3 (whether such tax savings arise by means of a foreign tax credit, depreciation or cost recovery deduction, or otherwise), and such Tax Benefit is not otherwise taken into account in computing
such payment or indemnity, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount of such tax savings, plus any additional tax savings recognized as the result of any payment made pursuant to this sentence,
and (B) the amount of all payments pursuant to this Section 9.3 by Borrower to such Tax Indemnitee (less any payments previously made by such Tax Indemnitee to Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.3(d)(5)) (and the excess, if any, of
the amount described in clause (A) over the amount described in clause (B) shall be carried forward and applied to reduce pro tanto any subsequent obligations of Borrower to make payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this
Section 9.3); provided, that such Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to make any payment pursuant to this sentence so long as an Event of Default of a monetary nature exists. If a Tax Benefit is later disallowed or denied, the disallowance or
denial shall be treated as a Tax indemnifiable under Section 9.3(b) without regard to the provisions of Section 9.3(c) (other than Section 9.3(c)(5), (8) or (10)). Each such Tax Indemnitee shall in good faith use reasonable
efforts in filing its tax returns and in dealing with Taxing Authorities to seek and claim any such Tax Benefit; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the positions taken by such Tax Indemnitee on its Tax returns and filings, and, subject to
the provisions of Section 9.3(e) hereof, in any Tax proceedings shall be within the sole, good-faith discretion of such Tax Indemnitee and, subject to the provisions of Section 9.3(d)(2) hereof, no Person shall have the right to require
disclosure of the Tax returns or filings of such Tax Indemnitee. 
 (e) Contest. 
 (1) If a written claim is made against a Tax Indemnitee for Taxes with respect to which Borrower could be liable for payment or indemnity
hereunder, or if a Tax Indemnitee determines that a Tax is due for which Borrower could have an indemnity obligation hereunder, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrower in writing of such claim (provided, that failure so to notify Borrower
shall not relieve Borrower of its indemnity obligations hereunder except to the extent that such failure increases the amount of Taxes subject to such claim as the result of the imposition of penalties or interest or unless the failure to notify
effectively forecloses Borrower’s rights to successfully contest such claim), and shall take no action with respect to such claim without Borrower’s prior written consent for thirty (30) days following Borrower’s receipt of such
notice. In addition, such Tax Indemnitee shall (provided that Borrower shall have agreed to keep such information confidential other than to the extent necessary in order to contest the claim) furnish Borrower with copies of any requests for
information from any Taxing Authority relating to such Taxes with respect to which Borrower may be required to indemnify hereunder. If requested by Borrower in writing within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice, such Tax
Indemnitee shall, at Borrower’s expense (including all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, 
  

 41 








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

 42 








 respect to any claim) or settle or compromise any claim without Borrower’s prior written consent
(except as contemplated by Sections 9.3(e)(2) or (3), which consent may not be unreasonably withheld). 
 (2) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall a Tax Indemnitee be required to pursue any contest (or to permit Borrower to pursue any contest) unless (A) Borrower agrees to pay such Tax Indemnitee on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
that such Tax Indemnitee incurs in connection with contesting such Taxes, including all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements, in each case, to the extent reasonably
allocable to the contest of such Taxes, (B) if such contest involves the payment of the claim, Borrower advances the amount thereof (to the extent indemnified hereunder) that is required to be paid before commencing the contest on an
interest-free After-Tax Basis to such Tax Indemnitee (and such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly pay to Borrower any net realized tax benefits resulting from such advance, including any Tax Benefits resulting from making such payment), (C) the
action to be taken will not result in any material risk of forfeiture, sale, or loss of the Aircraft (unless Borrower makes provisions to protect the interests of any such Tax Indemnitee in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee)
(provided, that such Tax Indemnitee shall notify Borrower in writing promptly after it becomes aware of any such risk), (D) no Event of Default exists, unless Borrower has provided security for its obligations hereunder by advancing to such Tax
Indemnitee, before proceeding or continuing with such contest, the amount of the Tax being contested, plus any interest and penalties and an amount estimated in good faith by such Tax Indemnitee for expenses, and (E) Borrower has acknowledged
in writing its obligations to indemnify the Tax Indemnitee for the Tax to be contested; provided, however, that Borrower will not be bound by the acknowledgment of liability if the contest is resolved on a basis that clearly establishes that
Borrower would not have been liable to the Tax Indemnitee under this Agreement in the absence of such acknowledgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Tax Indemnitee releases, waives, compromises, or settles any claim that may be indemnifiable
by Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.3 without Borrower’s written permission (which permission may not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower’s obligation to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee with respect to such claim (and all
directly-related claims, and claims based on the outcome of such claim) shall terminate, and such Tax Indemnitee shall repay to Borrower any amount previously paid or advanced to such Tax Indemnitee with respect to such claim, plus interest at the
rate that would have been payable by the relevant Taxing Authority on a refund of such Tax. 
 (3) Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Section 9.3, a Tax Indemnitee will not be required to contest the imposition of any Tax, and shall be permitted to settle or compromise any claim without Borrower’s consent, if such Tax Indemnitee (A) waives its
right to indemnity under this Section 9.3 with respect to such Tax (and any directly-related claim, and any claim the outcome of which is determined based upon the outcome of such claim), and (B) pays to 
  

 43 








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

 44 








 which such Tax Indemnitee is required by law to file, in its own name); provided, that the relevant Tax
Indemnitee shall furnish Borrower with any information in such Tax Indemnitee’s possession or control that is reasonably necessary to file any such return, report, or statement and that Borrower reasonably requests in writing. Borrower shall
either file such report, return, or statement and send a copy to such Tax Indemnitee, or, if Borrower is not permitted to file such report, return, or statement, it shall notify such Tax Indemnitee in writing of such requirement and prepare and
deliver such report, return, or statement to such Tax Indemnitee in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee within a reasonable time before the time such report, return, or statement is to be filed; provided, that the relevant Tax
Indemnitee shall furnish Borrower with any information in such Tax Indemnitee’s possession or control that is reasonably necessary to file any such return, report, or statement and that Borrower reasonably requests in writing. 
 (h) Forms. Each Tax Indemnitee agrees to furnish from time to time to Borrower, Security Agent, or such other Person as Borrower or
Security Agent shall designate, at Borrower’s or Security Agent’s request, such duly-executed and properly-completed forms as may be necessary or appropriate in order to claim any reduction of or exemption from any withholding or other Tax
imposed by any Taxing Authority, if (i) such reduction or exemption is available to such Tax Indemnitee, and (ii) Borrower has provided such Tax Indemnitee with any information necessary to complete such form not otherwise reasonably
available to such Tax Indemnitee. For the avoidance of doubt, by failing to comply with this Section 9.3(h) (whether by failing to provide a form when required to do so or by providing an inaccurate or invalid form), such Tax Indemnitee shall
be in breach of the foregoing covenant and responsible for damages resulting therefrom. 
 (i) Non-Parties. If a Tax
Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, Borrower may require the Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to Borrower, to the terms of this Section 9.3 and Section 11.8 before any payment shall be due to
such Tax Indemnitee under this Section 9.3. 
 (j) Subrogation. Upon payment of any Tax by Borrower pursuant to
this Section 9.3 to or on behalf of a Tax Indemnitee, without any further action, Borrower shall be subrogated to any claims that such Tax Indemnitee may have relating to that Tax. Such Tax Indemnitee shall cooperate reasonably and in good
faith with Borrower to permit Borrower to pursue such claims. 
 9.4 Payments. 
 Except as otherwise provided herein, any payments which Borrower or an Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee is obligated to make pursuant to Section 9.1 or
Section 9.3 shall be paid on the thirtieth (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 Article 9 and shall have duly complied with all the terms of
this Article 9, Borrower’s liability for indemnification under this Article 9 shall, at Borrower’s election, be deferred until a final determination is made with 
  

 45 








 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 payable to the order of, and mailed to, such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or Borrower (as applicable) by certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address as set forth in this Agreement.

 9.5 Interest. 
 If any
amount, payable by Borrower, any Indemnitee, or any Tax Indemnitee under Section 9.1 or Section 9.3 is not paid when due, the Person obligated to make such payment shall pay on demand, to the extent permitted by Law, to the Person entitled
thereto, interest on any such amount for the period from and including the due date for such amount to but excluding the date the amount is paid, at the Past-Due Rate. Such interest shall be paid in the same manner as the unpaid amount in respect of
which such interest is due. 
 9.6 Benefit of Indemnities. 
 Borrower’s obligations for indemnities, obligations, adjustments, and payments in Section 9.1 or Section 9.3 are expressly made for the
benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee entitled thereto as and to the extent provided herein, notwithstanding any provision of the Mortgage. 
 10. SECURITY AGENT. 
 10.1 Appointment and Powers. 
 Each Lender hereby and by acceptance of an Equipment Note irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes The Royal Bank of Scotland plc New York Branch
as Security Agent under this Agreement and under each other Operative Agreement, irrevocably appoints The Royal Bank of Scotland plc New York Branch as a “secured party” and “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of
Section 9-102 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. Further, each Lender
hereby and by the acceptance of an Equipment Note authorizes The Royal Bank of Scotland plc New York Branch (and its successors and assigns as secured party) to act as its “representative” and “secured party” on its behalf under
the terms of any Related Mortgage under which such Lender holds secured obligations thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Operative Agreement, Security Agent shall not have any duties
or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Operative Agreements, nor 
  

 46 








 shall Security Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or otherwise exist against Security Agent. 
 10.2 Limitation on Security Agent’s Liability. 
 Neither Security Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the
Operative Agreements, except for its or their own gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violations of Law. Security Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for (a) any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained
in the Operative Agreements or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of the Lenders under, the Operative Agreements, (b) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness or enforceability of the
Operative Agreements or any such certificate or other document, (c) the value or sufficiency of the Collateral or (d) any failure by Borrower to perform any of its obligations under the Operative Agreements. Security Agent may exercise any
of its duties under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Security Agent shall not be responsible to
any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact so long as Security Agent was not grossly negligent in selecting or directing such agents or attorneys-in-fact. Security Agent shall not be under any obligation to
any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Operative Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower. Security
Agent shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone or telecopier) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or
given by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Security Agent. Security Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement or any other Operative Agreements unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority in Interest of the Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders, or as otherwise provided in
Section 2.5) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction in accordance with Section 10.4 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any
such action. Security Agent shall in all cases in respect of the Lenders be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements in accordance with a request of the Majority in Interest of
the Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders, or as otherwise provided in Section 2.5), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of
the Equipment Notes. 
 10.3 Rights as Lender. 
 Each Person acting as Security Agent that is also a Lender shall, in its capacity as a Lender, have the same rights and powers under the Operative Agreements as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not acting as Security Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall include such Person in its individual capacity. Each Person acting as Security 
  

 47 








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

10.5 Non-reliance on Security Agent and other Lenders. 
 Each Lender agrees that it has made and will continue to make, independently and without reliance on Security Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it deems appropriate, its own
credit analysis of Borrower, its own evaluation of the Collateral and its own decision to enter into the Operative Agreements and to take or refrain from taking any action in connection therewith. Security Agent shall not be required to keep itself
informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower of the Operative Agreements or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of Borrower or the Collateral. Except for notices, reports and other
documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Security Agent under the Operative Agreements, Security Agent shall have no obligation to provide any Lender with any information concerning the business, status or
condition of Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, the Operative Agreements or the Collateral that may come into the possession of Security Agent or any of its Affiliates. 
 10.6 Successor Security Agent. 
 (a) The institution acting as Security Agent or any
successor thereto may resign at any time without cause by giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Borrower and each Lender, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance by a successor institution of its
appointment as Security Agent. In addition, a Majority in Interest of the Lenders may at any time (but only with the consent of Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned) remove the institution acting as Security 
  

 48 








 Agent without cause by an instrument in writing delivered to Borrower and Security Agent, and Security
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof in writing, such removal to be effective upon the acceptance by a successor institution of its appointment as Security Agent. In the case of the resignation or removal of the institution acting as
Security Agent, a Majority in Interest of the Lenders may appoint a successor agent by an instrument signed by such holders, subject to approval by Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Security Agent and the term “Security Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval
and the former Security Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Security Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Security Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holder of the
Equipment Notes. If a successor is not appointed within thirty (30) days after such notice of resignation or removal, Security Agent, Borrower or any Lender may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor to act until
such time as agent by an instrument signed by such holders, as a successor is appointed as provided above. The court-appointed successor shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor appointed by the Majority in Interest
of the Lenders as provided for above. After any retiring Security Agent’s resignation as Security Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Security Agent under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements. 
 (b) Any successor institution acting as Security
Agent, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to Borrower and the predecessor institution acting as Security Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and assuming the obligations of Security Agent arising from and after the time of such
appointment, and thereupon, without further act, such successor shall become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and duties of the predecessor hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements as if originally named Security
Agent herein and therein; but nevertheless upon the written request of such successor Security Agent, such predecessor shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor, all the estates, properties, rights, and powers of such
predecessor, and such predecessor shall duly assign, transfer, deliver, and pay over to such successor all money or other property then held by such predecessor hereunder and thereunder. Any successor Security Agent shall be bound by all actions
taken or omitted to be taken under the Operative Agreements by each predecessor Security Agent. 
 (c) Any successor
institution acting as Security Agent, however appointed, shall be a bank or trust company or a branch of a foreign commercial bank that is subject to regulatory supervision by the Federal Reserve Board (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A)) and that, in the case of such bank, trust company or branch, has its principal place of business in the United States of America, and that has (or the bank of which such branch is a branch has) (or whose obligations under the
Operative Agreements are guaranteed by an affiliated entity that has) a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, if such an institution is then willing, able, and legally qualified to perform the duties of Security Agent under the
Operative Agreements upon reasonable or customary terms. 
  

 49 








 10.7 Notice of Default. 
 If Security Agent obtains Actual Knowledge of a Default, Security Agent shall notify each Lender. Subject to Sections 5.6 of the Mortgage and
Section 10.8 hereof, Security Agent shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to an Event of Default or Default (including with respect to the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder) as Security Agent shall
be instructed in writing by a Majority in Interest of the Lenders. Unless it has Actual Knowledge, Security Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of a Default or an Event of Default unless notified in writing by Borrower or one or
more Lenders. 
 10.8 Instructions from a Majority in Interest of Lenders. 
 Except as provided in Sections 2.5, 10.2 and 11.1 hereof or in Section 7.1 of the Mortgage, upon the written instructions at any time and from time
to time of a Majority in Interest of the Lenders, Security Agent shall take such of the following actions as shall be specified in such instructions: (a) give such notice or direction or take any discretionary action which it is entitled to
take or exercise such right, remedy, or power under any of the Operative Agreements as shall be specified in such instructions, (b) approve as satisfactory to Security Agent all matters required by any of the Operative Agreements to be
satisfactory to Security Agent, and (c) enter into any amendment, modification or supplement of any of the Operative Agreements or grant consents, waivers or approvals requested by Borrower under any of the Operative Agreements. Adequate
opportunity, in the particular circumstances, shall be afforded the Lenders to give or to withhold the instructions referred to in the preceding sentence. 
 10.9 Reports, Notices, etc. 
 Security Agent will furnish to each Lender, promptly upon receipt
thereof, duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests, demands, certificates, and other instruments furnished by Borrower to Security Agent under any of the Operative Agreements. 
 11. MISCELLANEOUS 
 11.1
Amendments. 
 No provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented, waived, modified, discharged, terminated, or otherwise
varied orally, but only by an instrument in writing that specifically identifies the provision of this Agreement that it purports to amend, supplement, waive, modify, discharge, terminate, or otherwise vary and is signed by the party against whom
the enforcement of the amendment, supplement, waiver, modification, discharge, termination, or variance is sought. The Majority in Interest of the Lenders and Borrower may, or, with the written consent of the Majority in Interest of the Lenders,
parties to the Operative Agreements may, from time to time, and Security Agent shall, at the direction of the Majority in Interest of the Lenders, (unless its respective rights or obligations as Security Agent are adversely affected thereby),
(a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Operative Agreements for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other 
  

 50 








 Operative Agreements or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders, Security Agent or Borrower hereunder or
thereunder, or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Majority in Interest of the Lenders may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Operative Agreements or any Default or Event of Default and
its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Equipment Note, extend the scheduled date of
any payment of principal of any Equipment Note, reduce the stated rate of any interest payable on any Equipment Note or any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or, increase the amount or extend the
expiration date of the Commitments, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.1 without the written consent of such
Lender; (iii)(w) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Majority in Interest of the Lenders, (x) consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Operative Agreements or (y) reduce, modify or amend any indemnities in favor of Security Agent or the Lenders, in any such case without the consent of each Person affected thereby; (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of
Section 10 without the written consent of Security Agent; or (v) take any action inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 11.1 without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby. Any such waiver and any such
amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the applicable Lenders and shall be binding upon Borrower, the applicable Lenders, Security Agent and all future holders of the Equipment Notes. In the case of any waiver,
Borrower, the Lenders and Security Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Each such amendment, supplement, waiver, modification, discharge, termination, or variance shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given. No provision of this Agreement shall be varied or contradicted by oral communication, course of dealing or performance, or other manner not set forth in writing and signed by the party
against whom enforcement of the same is sought. 
 11.2 Severability. 
 If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, then, to the extent permitted by Law,
(a) the remainder of any affected provision (to the extent not invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction, and (b) such invalidity, illegality, or
unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. If, however, any Law pursuant to which any provision is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable may be waived, the parties
hereto hereby waive that Law to the full extent permitted, to the end that this Agreement shall be a valid and binding agreement in all respects, enforceable in accordance with its terms. 
 11.3 Survival. 
 The indemnities and
representations and warranties (as of and when made) made in this Agreement, in the other Operative Agreements and in any document, certificate or statement 
  

 51 








 delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the delivery of the Aircraft, the Transfer of any
interest by any Lender in an Equipment Note it holds, and the expiration or other termination of any Operative Agreement, except to the extent otherwise provided therein. 
 11.4 Reproduction of Documents. 
 This Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits hereto) and all
documents relating hereto (other than Equipment Notes), including (a) future consents, waivers, and modifications, and (b) past and future financial statements, certificates, and other information furnished to any party hereto, may be
reproduced by any party by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, micro-card, miniature photographic, or other similar process, and such party may destroy any original documents so reproduced. Any such reproduction shall be as admissible in
evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original exists and whether or not such party made the reproduction in the regular course of business), and any enlargement, facsimile, or further
reproduction of such reproduction also shall be so admissible in evidence. 
 11.5 Counterparts. 
 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (or upon separate signature pages bound together into one or more counterparts), each
fully-executed set taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with Borrower and Security Agent. 
 11.6 No Waiver.

 No failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise, and no delay by any party hereto in exercising, any of its rights, powers,
remedies, or privileges under this Agreement or otherwise available to it shall impair, prejudice, or waive any such right, power, remedy, or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any breach hereof or default hereunder or as an acquiescence
therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, remedy, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof by it or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy, or privilege by it. No notice to or demand on
any party hereto in any case shall, unless otherwise required under this Agreement, entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or waive the rights of any party hereto to any other or further action
in any circumstances without notice or demand. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

 11.7 Notices. 
 Unless
otherwise expressly permitted by the terms hereof, all notices, requests, demands, authorizations, directions, consents, waivers, and other communications required or permitted to be made, given, furnished, or filed hereunder shall be in writing
(and the specification of a writing in certain instances and not in others does not imply an intention that a writing is not required as to the latter), shall refer specifically to this Agreement, and shall be personally 
  

 52 








 delivered, sent by fax or telecommunications transmission (which in either case provides written confirmation to the
sender of its delivery), sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or sent by next-business-day courier service, in each case to the address or fax number set forth for such party in Schedule 1, or to such

given, furnished, or filed by fax or telecommunication transmission, when confirmed.

 Tax Benefits: 
 (a) any benefits with respect to Taxes which are actually and currently realized by any Tax Indemnitee, which are attributable solely to the incurrence or
payment by such Tax Indemnitee of any indemnified Losses or Taxes or an event giving rise to such Losses or Taxes; provided, that for the purpose of calculating such Tax Benefit, such Tax Indemnitee shall be deemed to utilize all other items of
income, gain, loss, deduction or credit, including those that arise outside the scope of this Agreement, before utilizing any item arising from the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss or Tax. A Tax Indemnitee shall be deemed to have
actually and currently realized and utilized a Tax Benefit to the extent that, and at such time as, the amount of Taxes payable by the Tax Indemnitee is actually reduced below the amount of Taxes such Tax Indemnitee would be required to pay but for
the incurrence or payment of such Loss or Taxes, computed in accordance with the ordering rules set forth above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (a), in calculating any Tax Benefit, a Tax Indemnitee, to the extent not
prohibited by applicable law or by contract, shall determine when Tax Benefits are utilized in a manner which is non-discriminatory with respect to all other Similar Loans, it being understood that if, after taking into account all tax items of such
Tax Indemnitee other than from this Loan and Similar Loans, such Tax Indemnitee has the capacity to use some or all of the Tax Benefits and some or all of the tax benefits generated by Similar Loans, it cannot rely upon a provision in such Similar
Loan that requires the tax benefits from such Similar Loans to be applied last to avoid applying the tax benefits under those Similar Loans and, based on this non-discriminatory provision, also the Tax Benefits from this Loan in calculating the
indemnities due under the respective loan. For purposes of this provision, “Similar Loans” means loans (i) in which the Tax Indemnitee or any affiliate thereof is a participant and with respect to which such Tax Indemnitee or
affiliate is entitled to indemnification with respect to Taxes, and (ii) in which the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower with a similar or lesser credit as the Borrower. 
 (b) The determination of whether the Tax Indemnitee has realized a Tax Benefit and the calculation of the amount of such Tax Benefit shall be made by the Tax Indemnitee in the ordinary course of administering its Tax
affairs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, 
  

 A-13 








 if the Borrower provides a Tax Indemnitee with a written notice setting forth facts and circumstances which create a
reasonable possibility that a Tax Benefit has been realized with respect to an Indemnified Tax, such Tax Indemnitee shall agree to make a determination as to whether it has realized such a Tax Benefit. If a Tax Indemnitee determines that it has
realized such a Tax Benefit, it shall pay such Tax Benefit to Borrower in accordance with the terms of Section 9.3(d)(5).

Expenses: the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Security Agent and the Lenders in connection with (1) the preparation, execution, and delivery of the Operative Agreements and the recording or filing of any documents,
certificates, or instruments in accordance with any Operative Agreement, including the FAA-Filed Documents and the Financing Statements and (2) the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Security Agent, counsel for the Lenders, and
FAA Counsel, in each case, in connection with the Closing. 
 Transactions: the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements.

 Transfer: the transfer, sale, assignment, or other conveyance by a Lender, but not including the granting of participations by a
Lender as contemplated by Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement. 
 Transfer Agreement: an assignment and assumption agreement
substantially in the form set out in Exhibit C to the Loan Agreement. 
 Transferee: any commercial bank or financial institution,
credit or leasing company, special purpose or other entity to whom any Lender purports or intends to Transfer any or all of its Commitment or right, title, or interest in an Equipment Note it holds, pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Loan

             sold and assigned hereunder constitutes “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Department of Labor codified at 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101) of any Plan

prior to the Effective Time and to the Assignee for amounts which have accrued subsequent thereto. 
 9. From and after the Effective Time, (a) the
Assignee shall be a party to the Loan Agreement and, with respect to the Assigned Interest and period prior to the Effective Time, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and shall be bound by the applicable provisions thereof,
(b) the Assignor shall, with respect to the Assigned Interest and the period prior to the Effective Time, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Agreement and (c) the Assignor shall release the Lenders,
Security Agent and Borrower from their respective duties, liabilities and obligations owing to the Assignor under the Loan Agreement and other Operative Agreements with respect to the Assigned Interest for the period on or after the Effective Time;
provided, that such release does not extinguish any such duties, liabilities and obligations with respect to the period prior to the Effective Time, all of which shall survive such release and be performed directly to and for the benefit of
Assignor.

and assumption of the Assigned Interest contemplated by this Agreement complies with all of the requirements of Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement applicable to it. 
 11. As between Assignor and Assignee, it is agreed that if RBS is of the opinion that the applicable closing conditions set forth in Section 3.1 of the Loan Agreement have been satisfied on an Closing Date, and
if RBS, as Assignor, has transferred its Commitment with respect to the Aircraft in this Assignment and Assumption without the prior written consent of Borrower, and the Assignee is of the opinion, as expressed to RBS, as Assignor, that such
applicable closing conditions have not been satisfied, then RBS, as Assignor, shall have the right, but not the obligation, by notice to the Borrower and Assignee, to make an additional secured loan in the amount of the secured loan that such
Assignee would be obligated to make on such Closing Date if such conditions precedent were satisfied. In the event the preceding sentence is applicable, the Commitments of RBS shall be increased by an amount of such secured loan and the Commitment
of such Assignee shall be reduced by an equivalent amount, effective on the date of such notice from RBS, as Assignor. In the event RBS makes such additional secured loan as aforesaid, the Assignee shall be liable to RBS, as Assignor, but not to the
Borrower, for any damages attributable to its failure to make the secured loan in question which was made, instead, by RBS. 
 12. This Assignment and
Assumption shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto
have caused this Assignment and Assumption to be executed as of the date first above written by their respective duly authorized officers.

 THE BOEING COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (“Boeing”), hereby consents to Borrower’s
assignment to Security Agent of a security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchase Agreement to the extent that it relates to Borrower’s remaining rights to any warranty, indemnity, or other

Default exists and that, if legally permissible, Security Agent is exercising its rights and remedies under the Mortgage, Security Agent shall thereafter have the right (a) to assign its rights in and to the Purchase Agreement to a third party
acquiring the Aircraft by lease or purchase and/or (b) to proceed with a sale, foreclosure or other enforcement of secured creditor remedies with respect to an Aircraft which could result in the Purchase Agreement to the extent relating thereto

(b) Boeing will not recognize Borrower as having any rights under the Purchase Agreement (to the extent those rights have been assigned to Security Agent pursuant to the Mortgage), unless and until Boeing receives from Security Agent written
notice, confirming that the Event of Default has been satisfactorily cured or otherwise waived.

payments, that it thereafter may be required to perform or make in respect of the Engines under the GTA, to Borrower and (b) CFMI will not recognize Borrower as having any rights under the GTA (to the extent those rights have been assigned to
Security Agent pursuant to the Mortgage), unless and until CFMI receives from Security Agent written notice, confirming that the Event of Default has been satisfactorily cured or otherwise waived. 
 Nothing contained herein shall subject CFMI to any obligation or liability to which it would not otherwise be subject under the GTA. Nothing
contained herein shall modify in any respect the contract rights of CFMI under the GTA or subject CFMI to any multiple or duplicative liability thereunder. No further assignment of any remaining Warranties, including, without limitation,

of any payment received by it, or present or file any claim, or take any action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times. 
 Any and all property described or referred to in the granting clauses hereof which Borrower acquires in the future and required or deemed to be subjected
to the Lien herein pursuant to the provisions hereof shall ipso facto, and without any other conveyance, assignment, or act on the part of Borrower or Security Agent, become and be subject to the Lien herein granted as fully and completely as
though specifically described herein, but nothing in this paragraph shall modify or change Borrower’s obligations in the foregoing paragraphs. 
 In order to constitute the Related Notes as Associated Rights, the Borrower agrees that it will timely pay amounts due thereunder and perform all of its Related Obligations.

 Borrower and Security Agent further agree as follows: 
 1. DEFINITIONS 
 The terms defined in
Annex A, when capitalized as in Annex A, have the same meanings when used in this Mortgage. Annex A also contains rules of usage that control construction in this Mortgage. 
 2. THE EQUIPMENT NOTES 
 2.1 Form of Equipment
Notes. 
 The Equipment Notes shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B. 
 2.2 Issuance and Terms of Equipment Notes. 
 The Equipment Notes shall be dated the date of the Closing Date and shall have the maturity and principal amounts and shall bear interest set forth therein. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall issue the Equipment Note to the Lenders. The
Equipment Notes shall be registered in the Equipment Note Register (as defined in Section 2.6) at the time of issuance. 
 The Equipment
Notes shall be executed on behalf of Borrower by one of its authorized officers. Equipment Notes bearing the signatures of individuals who were the proper officers of Borrower at the time of such execution shall bind Borrower, notwithstanding that
such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices before the authentication and delivery of such Equipment Notes. Borrower may from time to time execute and deliver Equipment Notes with respect to the Aircraft to Security Agent for
authentication upon original issue, and Security Agent thereupon shall authenticate and deliver such Equipment Notes upon Borrower’s written request signed by an authorized officer of Borrower. No Equipment Note shall be secured by or entitled
to any benefit under this Mortgage, or be valid or obligatory for any purposes, unless there appears on such Equipment Note a certificate of authentication in the form provided for herein, executed by Security Agent by the manual signature of one of
its authorized officers, and such certificate upon any Equipment Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Equipment Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 The aggregate Original Amount of the Equipment Notes issued hereunder shall not exceed the amount set forth as the maximum therefor on Schedule 2 of the
Loan Agreement. 
 2.3 Method of Payment. 
 (a) The Original Amount of, interest on, and other amount due under each Equipment Note or hereunder will be payable in Dollars by wire
transfer of immediately available funds not later than 12:00 Noon, New York time, on the due date of payment to Security Agent for distribution in the manner provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Equipment Note to
the contrary, Security Agent will pay or cause to be paid all amounts to be paid by Borrower hereunder and under any Equipment Note to the holder thereof (including all amounts distributed pursuant to Article 3 of this Mortgage) by transferring, or
causing to be transferred, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars, promptly after receipt, to an account maintained by such holder with a bank located in the continental United States the amount to be distributed to such holder,
for credit to the account of such holder 
  

 4 








 maintained at such bank. If Security Agent fails to initiate the transfer by federal wire transfer of any
such payment as provided in the foregoing sentence after its receipt of funds by reason of its failure to use ordinary care in the handling of funds, Security Agent shall compensate such holders for loss of use of funds at the Debt Rate until such
payment is made, and Security Agent shall be entitled to any interest earned on such funds until such payment is made. Any payment made hereunder shall be made without any presentment or surrender of any Equipment Note, except that, in the case of
the final payment in respect of any Equipment Note, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to Security Agent for cancellation promptly after such payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Mortgage to the contrary, Security Agent shall
not be required to make, or cause to be made, wire transfers as aforesaid before the first Business Day on which it is practicable for Security Agent to do so in view of the time of day when the funds to be so transferred were received by it if such
funds were received after 12:00 Noon, New York time, at the place of payment. Before the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note, Borrower and Security Agent shall deem and treat the Person in whose name any Equipment Note
is registered on the Equipment Note Register as the absolute owner and holder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Equipment Note and for all other purposes, and neither Borrower nor
Security Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. So long as any signatory to the Loan Agreement or nominee thereof shall be a registered Lender, all payments to it shall be made to the account of such Lender specified in Schedule 1 of
the Loan Agreement, and otherwise in the manner provided in or pursuant to the Loan Agreement, unless and until it specifies some other account or manner of payment by notice to Security Agent consistent with this Section 2.3. 
 (b) Security Agent (as agent for Borrower) shall exclude and withhold at the appropriate rate from each payment of Original Amount of,
interest on, and other amounts due from Borrower to any Lender hereunder or under each Equipment Note any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by Law. Security Agent agrees (1) to act as such withholding agent in accordance
with Treasury Regulation 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) and, in connection therewith, (2) whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required by applicable Law to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable by Borrower hereunder or in
respect of the Equipment Notes, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Lenders, (3) to file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and (4) as
promptly as possible after the payment thereof, to deliver to each Lender (with a copy to Borrower) appropriate receipts, if reasonably available, showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as any such Lender
reasonably requests from time to time. In accordance with the foregoing, Security Agent further agrees to provide Borrower with a properly completed and executed Form W-8IMY certifying that Security Agent has agreed to be treated as a U.S. Person
with respect to payments received from Borrower hereunder. Such Form W-8IMY shall be provided by Security Agent prior to the due date of any amounts payable by Borrower hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, by failing to comply with this
Section 2.3(b), Security Agent shall be in breach of the foregoing covenant and responsible for damages resulting therefrom. 
  

 5 








 (c) In the case of a Lender that is a Non-U.S. Person, such Lender shall furnish such
Security Agent with a properly completed and executed withholding certificate on Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI (or any successor forms) and/or such other applicable documentation as may be necessary or desirable to enable such Lender to claim an
exemption from, or reduced rate of, such taxes. Provided that such Lender has furnished Security Agent with the requested forms and other documentation duly executed by such Lender and has not notified Security Agent of the withdrawal or inaccuracy
of such form prior to the date of each interest payment, only the reduced amount (if any) required by applicable law or treaty shall be withheld from payments under the Equipment Notes held by such Lender in respect of United States federal income
tax. In the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person and (1) not an Exempt Recipient that has furnished to Security Agent a properly completed and currently effective U.S. Treasury Form W-9 or (2) that is an Exempt Recipient (not required to
deliver an IRS Form W-8), no amount shall be withheld from payments under the Equipment Notes held by such Lender in respect of United States federal income tax. If any Lender has notified Security Agent that any of the foregoing forms or
certificates is withdrawn or inaccurate, or if the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations thereunder or the administrative interpretation thereof are at any time after the date hereof amended to require such withholding of United States federal
income taxes from payments under the Equipment Notes held by such Lender, or if such withholding is otherwise required, Security Agent agrees to withhold from each payment due to the relevant Lender withholding taxes at the appropriate rate under
applicable law, and will, as more fully provided above, on a timely basis, deposit such amounts with an authorized depository and make such returns, filings, and other reports in connection therewith, and in the manner required under applicable Law.
For purposes of this paragraph, an “Exempt Recipient” is a Person described in Code §6049(b)(4). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender that is a Non-U.S. Person shall not be required to deliver any form
pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. 
 (d) If, for any reason, Security Agent (or any
successor institution acting as Security Agent) is unable to provide Borrower with a properly completed and executed Form W-8IMY, Borrower shall exclude and withhold at the appropriate rate from each payment of Original Amount of, interest on, and
other amounts due from Borrower to any Lender hereunder or under each Equipment Note it holds any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by Law. Borrower agrees (1) whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are
required by applicable Law to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable hereunder or in respect of the Equipment Notes, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name and on behalf of the Lenders,
(2) to file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and (3) as promptly as possible after the payment thereof, to deliver to each Lender appropriate receipts, if reasonably available, showing the payment thereof,
together with such additional documentary evidence as any such Lender reasonably requests from time to time. Furthermore, all necessary documentation addressed in Section 2.3(c) hereof shall be furnished to Borrower prior to the due date of any
amounts payable by Borrower hereunder to enable such Lender to claim an exemption from, or reduced rate of, such taxes. 
  

 6 








 (e) Borrower shall not have any liability hereunder to Security Agent or any Lender for
Security Agent’s failure to withhold taxes in the manner provided for herein or for any false, inaccurate, or untrue evidence provided by any Lender hereunder. 
 2.4 Application of Payments. 
 Each payment of interest on, principal of, or other amounts under or in
respect of each Equipment Note shall be applied: 
 FIRST: to pay any amount due hereunder or under such
Equipment Note or the other Operative Agreements other than any amount designated under this Section 2.4 to be paid pursuant to clauses SECOND, THIRD or FOURTH; 
 SECOND: to pay accrued interest on and any Breakage Amount due under such Equipment Note (and any interest on any overdue
Original Amount) to the date of such payment; 
 THIRD: to pay the Original Amount of such Equipment Note (or a
portion thereof) then due thereunder; and 
 FOURTH: to pay the Original Amount of such Equipment Note
remaining unpaid (provided, that such Equipment Note shall not be subject to redemption except as provided in Sections 2.9, 2.10, and 2.11 or pursuant to the exercise by Borrower of the Fixed Rate Option). 
 The amounts paid pursuant to clause “FOURTH” above shall be applied to the installments of Original Amount of such Equipment
Note in the inverse order of their normal maturity. 
 2.5 Termination of Interest in Collateral. 
 No Lender shall have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the Collateral when and if the Original Amount of, and interest on and other
amounts due under all Equipment Notes held by such Lender and all other Secured Obligations have been paid in full and this Mortgage has been terminated as provided in Section 8.1. 
 2.6 Registration, Transfer, and Exchange of Equipment Notes. 
 Security Agent shall keep a register (the “Equipment Note Register”) in which Security Agent shall provide for the registration of Equipment Notes and the registration of transfers of Equipment Notes. No
such transfer shall be given effect unless and until registered hereunder. Security Agent shall keep the Equipment Note Register at its Administrative Office. Security Agent is hereby appointed “Equipment Note Registrar” for the purpose of
registering Equipment Notes and transfers of Equipment Notes as herein provided. A holder of any Equipment Note intending to exchange such Equipment Note shall surrender such Equipment Note to Security Agent at its Administrative Office, together
with a written request from the registered holder thereof for the issuance of a new Equipment Note, specifying (in the case of a surrender for transfer) the name(s) and address(es) of the new holder(s). Upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any Equipment Note, Borrower shall execute, and Security Agent shall authenticate 
  

 7 








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

 8 








 ownership thereof. If a “qualified institutional buyer” of the type referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(A), (B),
(D), or (E) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “QIB”) is the holder of any such destroyed, lost, or stolen Equipment Note, then the written indemnity of such QIB, signed by an authorized officer thereof, in favor of, delivered
to, and in form reasonably satisfactory to Borrower shall be accepted as satisfactory indemnity and security, and no further indemnity or security shall be required as a condition to the execution and delivery of such new Equipment Note. Subject to
the Lender’s compliance with the requirements in this Section 2.7, Security Agent and Borrower shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment Notes within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the Lender’s written
request therefor. 
 2.8 Payment of Expenses on Transfer; Cancellation. 
 (a) No service charge shall be made to a Lender for any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes, but Security Agent, as
Equipment Note Registrar, may require payment from any such Lender of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes and any charges
and expenses connected with such tax or other governmental charge paid or payable by Borrower or Security Agent, as the case may be. 
 (b) Security Agent shall cancel all Equipment Notes surrendered for replacement, redemption, transfer, exchange, payment, or cancellation, and shall destroy the cancelled Equipment Notes. 
 2.9 Mandatory Redemptions of Equipment Notes. 
 On the date on which Borrower is required pursuant to Section 4.5 to prepay the Equipment Notes following an Event of Loss to the Airframe, all Equipment Notes shall be redeemed in whole at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
unpaid Original Amount thereof, together with all accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption plus any Breakage Amount and all other Secured Obligations owed or then due and payable to the Lenders in respect thereto. 
 2.10 Voluntary Redemptions of Equipment Notes. 
 Borrower may redeem all or any part of the unpaid Original Amount of the Equipment Notes upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Security Agent and the Lenders. The Equipment Notes
shall be redeemed in whole or in part without penalty or premium except as provided hereafter in this Section 2.10; provided, except in the case of a redemption of Equipment Notes with respect to which (1) Indemnified Withholding
Taxes are then payable by Borrower pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Loan Agreement, (2) Increased Costs are then payable by Borrower and Borrower becomes entitled to prepay such Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Loan
Agreement or (3) it becomes unlawful for a Lender to maintain the indebtedness evidenced by such Equipment Note and Borrower becomes entitled to prepay such Equipment Note pursuant to Section 4.7 of the Loan Agreement (each an
“Optional Redemption Triggering Event”), in which event the affected Equipment Notes shall be redeemed in whole but not in part, Borrower may not redeem an aggregate unpaid Original Amount of less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or,
if less, the then outstanding Original Amount thereof; 
  

 9 








 and provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Mortgage, the proceeds of any partial
redemption shall be distributed by Security Agent to the Lenders ratably, except in the case of a redemption of Equipment Notes with respect to which an Optional Redemption Triggering Event shall occurred, in which case the proceeds of such
redemption shall be distributed to the Lender or Lenders of the Equipment Notes to which such Optional Redemption Triggering Event relates. Borrower shall not be entitled to reborrow any amounts redeemed. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the
contrary (except in the case of a redemption of Equipment Notes with respect to which an Optional Redemption Triggering Event shall have occurred) Borrower may not redeem all or any part of any Equipment Note prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date. Borrower shall pay, in addition to the redemption price, any Breakage Amount and all
other Secured Obligations owing or then due and payable by Borrower to the Lenders in respect thereto. 
 2.11 Redemptions; Notice of
Redemption. 
 (a) No voluntary or mandatory redemption of any unpaid Original Amount of the Equipment Notes may be made
except to the extent and in the manner expressly contemplated by this Mortgage. 
 (b) In case of a voluntary or mandatory
redemption, notice of such redemption with respect to the Equipment Notes shall be given by Security Agent by commercial courier service for next day delivery (or the nearest thereto as practicable), to each Lender of such Equipment Notes to be
redeemed, at such Lender’s address appearing in the Equipment Note Register. Any notice of redemption pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable if not revoked by written notice from Borrower to Security Agent given not later than three
(3) Business Days before the redemption date. All notices of redemption shall state: (1) the redemption date, (2) the redemption price (including any Breakage Amount), (3) the applicable basis for determining the redemption
price, (4) that on the redemption date, the redemption price will become due and payable upon each such Equipment Note, and (5) the place or places where such Equipment Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and
for exchange or cancellation (as the case may be). 
 (c) On or before the redemption date, Borrower (or any Person on behalf
of Borrower) shall, to the extent an amount equal to the redemption price (including any Breakage Amount) for the Equipment Notes to be redeemed on the redemption date shall not then be held by Security Agent, deposit or cause to be deposited with
Security Agent by 12:00 Noon New York time on the redemption date in immediately available funds the redemption price of the unpaid Original Amount of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed. 
 (d) If notice of redemption is given as aforesaid (and not revoked as contemplated in the proviso to Section 2.11(b)), then, on the
redemption date, the unpaid Original Amount of Equipment Notes to be redeemed shall become due and payable at Security Agent’s Administrative Office or at any office or agency maintained for such purposes pursuant to Section 2.6, and all
of the Equipment Notes shall be surrendered to Security Agent for cancellation (in case of a total redemption) or exchange (in case of a partial redemption). Upon surrender of any such Equipment Notes, the redemption price shall be distributed to
such holder as provided in this Mortgage. 
  

 10 








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

 3.2 Event of Loss; Replacement; Optional Redemption. 
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3, any payments received by Security Agent (1) with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and one or more Engines as the result of a mandatory redemption upon an
Event of Loss or (2) pursuant to an optional redemption of all of the unpaid Original Amount of the Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be applied to redeem the Equipment Notes and to all other Secured Obligations by applying
such funds in the following order of priority: 
 FIRST, (a) to reimburse Security Agent and the Lenders for any
reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with such redemption for which they are entitled to reimbursement, or indemnity by Borrower, under the Operative Agreements, and then (b) to pay any other Secured Obligations then due (except
as provided in clause “SECOND” below) to Security Agent and the Lenders under this Mortgage, the Loan Agreement, or the Equipment Notes (other than amounts specified in clause SECOND of this Section 3.2);

 SECOND, to pay the amounts specified in Section 2.10 (if applicable) and clause “SECOND” of
Section 3.3, plus any applicable Breakage Amount; and 
 THIRD, as provided in clause “FOURTH”
of Section 3.3; 
 provided, that if a Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine is substituted for the Airframe or Engine subject to such Event of
Loss as provided in Section 4.5, any insurance, condemnation or similar proceeds which result from such Event of Loss and are paid over to Security Agent shall be held by Security Agent as part of the Collateral (provided, that such moneys
shall be invested as provided in Article 6) as additional security for the obligations of Borrower under the Operative Agreements, and such proceeds (and such investment earnings), to the extent not theretofore applied as provided herein, shall be
released to Borrower at Borrower’s written request upon the release of such Airframe or Engine and the replacement thereof as provided herein; provided, if a Default or Event of Default then exists, Security Agent shall continue to hold (and
apply) such proceeds as provided herein until such Default or Event of Default no longer exists, in which case Security Agent shall release the remaining portion of such proceeds (and of such investment earnings) over to Borrower. 
  

 11 








 3.3 Payments after Event of Default. 
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4, all payments received and amounts held or realized by Security Agent (including any amounts realized by
Security Agent from the exercise of any remedies pursuant to Article 5) if an Event of Default exists and after the acceleration specified in Section 5.2(b), as well as all payments or amounts then held by Security Agent as part of the
Collateral, shall be promptly distributed by Security Agent in the following order of priority: 
 FIRST, so much of such
payments or amounts as shall be required to reimburse Security Agent for any tax (except to the extent resulting from a failure of Security Agent to withhold taxes pursuant to Section 2.3(b) unless such failure of Security Agent to withhold is
as a result of or caused by any breach by Borrower of its obligations, representations or covenants under any of the Operative Agreements), expense, or other loss (including all amounts to be expended at the expense of, or charged upon the rents,
revenues, issues, products, and profits of, the property included in the Collateral (all such property being herein the “Mortgaged Property”) pursuant to Section 5.3(b)) incurred by Security Agent (to the extent not previously
reimbursed), the expenses of any sale, or other proceeding, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs, and any other expenditures incurred or expenditures or advances made by Security Agent or the Lenders in the protection, exercise,
or enforcement of any right, power, or remedy or any damages sustained by Security Agent or any Lender, liquidated or otherwise, upon such Event of Default shall be applied by Security Agent as between itself and the Lenders to reimburse
(x) such expenses and (y) any other expenses for which Security Agent or the Lenders are entitled to reimbursement under any Operative Agreement; and if the aggregate amount to be so distributed is insufficient to pay all amounts described
above, then ratably, without priority of one over the other, in proportion to the amounts owed each hereunder; 
 SECOND, so
much of such payments or amounts remaining as shall be required to pay in full the unpaid Original Amount of the Equipment Notes, and the accrued but unpaid interest, any Breakage Amount and other amounts due thereon and on all other Secured
Obligations in respect of the Equipment Notes to the date of distribution, shall be distributed to the Lenders, and if the amount so to be distributed is insufficient to pay in full, then ratably, without priority of one over the other, in the
proportion that (x) the unpaid Original Amount of the Equipment Notes held by each holder plus the accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts due hereunder or thereunder to the distribution date, bears to (y) the aggregate unpaid
Original Amount of the Equipment Notes held by all such holders plus the accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts due thereon to the distribution date; 
 THIRD, subject to Section 7.5 of the Loan Agreement, so much of such payments or amounts remaining as is required to pay in full all other Secured Obligations, whether or not then due (by reason of
acceleration or otherwise), in the following order: (1) unpaid principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all Related Notes issued under the Related Loan Agreements and all other Related Obligations thereto, pro rata as to
amounts outstanding; (2) unpaid principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all PDP Notes and all other Related Obligations thereto, pro rata as to amounts outstanding; and (3) any other Secured Obligations on a pro rata
basis; and 
  

 12 








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

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

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

(c) Payments that Security Agent receives under the Holdings Guarantee shall be distributed in the same manner as the payments to which
such payments relate would be distributed had such payments been received by Security Agent. 
 3.5 Other Payments. 
 Security Agent shall distribute any payments that it receives, and that the Operative Agreements (other than this Section 3.5) do not provide how to
apply, as specified in Section 3.1; and after payment in full of all amounts then due in accordance with Section 3.1, then in the manner provided in clause “FOURTH” of Section 3.3. 
 4. BORROWER’S COVENANTS 
 4.1 Liens. 
 Borrower will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume, or suffer to exist any
Lien on or with respect to the Airframe or any Engine or any other Collateral, title to any of the foregoing, or any interest of Borrower therein, except Permitted Liens. Borrower shall promptly, at its own expense, take such action as may be
necessary duly to discharge (by bonding or otherwise) any such Lien other than a Permitted Lien arising at any time. 
 4.2 Possession;
Operation and Use; Maintenance; Registration; Markings. 
 (a) General. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, Borrower shall be entitled to operate, use, locate, employ, or otherwise utilize or not utilize the Airframe, any Engine or any Parts in any lawful manner or place in accordance with Borrower’s business judgment. 
 (b) Possession. Borrower shall not, without Security Agent’s prior written consent, lease or otherwise in any manner deliver,
transfer, or relinquish possession of the 
  

 13 








 Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine, or install any Engine, or permit any Engine to be installed, on
any airframe other than the Airframe; except that Borrower may, without such prior written consent: 
 (1) subject or permit
any Permitted Lessee to subject (aa) the Airframe to normal interchange agreements or (bb) any Engine to normal interchange agreements or pooling agreements or arrangements, in each case customary in the commercial airline industry and entered into
by Borrower or such Permitted Lessee in the ordinary course of business; provided, that (i) no such agreement or arrangement contemplates (other than as contemplated with respect to an Event of Loss) or requires the transfer of title to the
Airframe or any Engine and (ii) if Borrower’s title to any such Airframe or Engine is divested under any such agreement or arrangement, then such Airframe or Engine shall be deemed to have suffered an Event of Loss as of the date of such
divestiture, and Borrower shall comply with Sections 4.4(e) or 4.5 (as the case may be) in respect thereof; 
 (2) deliver or
permit any Permitted Lessee to deliver possession of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any Part (aa) to the manufacturer thereof or to any third-party maintenance provider (approved by the Aviation Authority for that Aircraft, Airframe,
Engine or Part) for testing, service, repair, maintenance, or overhaul work on the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any Part, or, to the extent required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement, for alterations or modifications in or
additions to the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine, or (bb) to any Person for the purpose of transport to a Person referred to in the preceding clause (aa); 
 (3) install or permit any Permitted Lessee to install an Engine on an airframe owned by Borrower or such Permitted Lessee free and clear
of all Liens, except (aa) Permitted Liens and those that do not apply to the Engines, and (bb) the rights of third parties under normal interchange or pooling agreements and arrangements of the type permitted under Section 4.2(b)(1);

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

 14 








 (5) install or permit any Permitted Lessee to install an Engine on an airframe owned by
or leased to Borrower or such Permitted Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement under circumstances where neither clause (3) nor clause (4) of this Section 4.2(b) applies; provided, that any such installation
shall be deemed an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine, and Borrower shall comply with Section 4.4(e) in respect thereof; 
 (6) transfer or permit any Permitted Lessee to transfer possession of the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine to (aa) a U.S. Governmental Entity pursuant to CRAF or (bb) to a U.S. Governmental Entity when required by applicable Law, as
the case may be. Neither such event shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to be an Event of Loss. Borrower shall promptly notify (to the extent Borrower is permitted to do so by applicable U.S. Law) Security Agent in writing of any such
transfer and such notification shall identify the name, address and telephone number of the Contracting Office Representative or Representatives for Military Airlift Command of the United States Air Force to whom notices must be given and to whom
requests or claims must be made to the extent applicable under CRAF; 
 (7) enter into a Wet Lease with respect to the
Aircraft or any other aircraft on which any Engine may be installed (which shall not be considered a transfer of possession hereunder); provided, that Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any
Wet Lease and provided, further that Borrower shall promptly notify Security Agent in writing if any Wet Lease in respect of the Aircraft is more than six (6) months in duration (and the Aircraft is the only aircraft that is subject to such Wet
Lease); 
 (8) if no Event of Default exists, and subject to the following paragraphs, enter into a lease (a “Permitted
Lease”) with respect to the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine with any Permitted Air Carrier or Permitted Manufacturer who is not then subject to any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, or similar proceeding or
with a U.S. Governmental Entity (other than with any branch of the military of the U.S. Government), subject to compliance with the following conditions: 
 (i) Borrower shall give at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Security Agent of any Permitted Lease under specifying (a) the Permitted Lessee, (b) the term of the Permitted Lease,
(c) the domicile of the Permitted Lessee, and (d) the country in which the Aircraft is to be ordinarily stored overnight by such Permitted Lessee (as contemplated by the Permitted Lease). Such notice shall be accompanied by the proposed
lease agreement. 
 (ii) Any Permitted Lease shall include appropriate provisions: 
  

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

  

 15 









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

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

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


  

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

 (iii) in the case of a lease to a Permitted Foreign Air Carrier, Security Agent shall receive evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that:
(1) all necessary approvals from any Governmental Entity required for the leased Airframe or any leased Engine or engine, as the case may be, to be imported and, to the extent reasonably obtainable and reasonably requested, exported from the
applicable country of domicile upon repossession of such equipment by Security Agent shall have been obtained prior to the importation of the imported Airframe and/or Engine under any such lease; and (2) the insurance requirements of
Section 4.6 and Annex B are satisfied; and 
 (iv) in connection with any Permitted Lease to a Permitted Foreign Air
Carrier, Borrower shall obtain at its own cost, as a condition to the delivery to the proposed Permitted Lessee of the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, an opinion from reputable counsel selected by Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Security
Agent located in the country of such Permitted Lessee’s domicile (or, if Borrower determines during the term of the Permitted Lease that the Aircraft or Airframe or any Engine will be based or primarily used in a country other than the

  

 16 








 country of such Permitted Lessee’s domicile, an additional opinion or opinions of reputable counsel
selected by Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Security Agent located in such other country) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Security Agent; 
 provided, that (1) the rights of any transferee who receives possession by reason of a transfer permitted by this Section 4.2(b) (other than by a transfer of an Engine which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall
be subject and subordinate to this Mortgage and to Security Agent’s rights, powers and remedies hereunder, (2) Borrower shall remain primarily liable for the performance of this Mortgage and all the terms and conditions of this Mortgage
and the other Operative Agreements shall remain in effect to the same extent as if such transfer had not occurred, and no transfer of possession of the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine or any failure of performance under or with respect to such
transfers shall in any way discharge (except to the extent performed by such transferee) or diminish any of Borrower’s obligations to Security Agent hereunder or under any Operative Agreement, and (3) no lease or transfer of possession
otherwise in compliance with this Section 4.2(b) shall (aa) result in any registration or re-registration of the Aircraft (except to the extent permitted by Section 4.2(e)) or the maintenance, operation, or use thereof except in compliance
with Sections 4.2(c) and 4.2(d), or (bb) permit any action not permitted to Borrower hereunder. 
 In the case of any Permitted Lease,
Borrower will include in such lease appropriate provisions which (x) make such lease expressly subject and subordinate to this Mortgage and (y) require that the Airframe or any Engine subject thereto be used in accordance with the
limitations applicable to Borrower’s possession and use provided in this Mortgage and provide for the maintenance and inspection of the Aircraft in the same manner in all material respects as the applicable provisions of this Mortgage.

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

 17 








 Security Agent hereby agrees, and each Lender by acceptance of an Equipment Note agrees, for the benefit
of each lessor, conditional seller, or secured party of any engine leased, purchased, or owned by Borrower or any Permitted Lessee subject to a lease, conditional sale, or other security agreement that Security Agent, each Lender, and their
respective successors and assigns will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor, conditional seller, or secured party, any right, title, or interest in any engine as the result of the installation of such engine on the Airframe at any time while
such engine is subject to such lease, conditional sale, or other security agreement and owned by such lessor or conditional seller or subject to a security interest in favor of such secured party; provided, Borrower or any Permitted Lessee has
received from any such lessor, secured party, or conditional seller in respect of any airframe leased, purchased or owned by Borrower or any Permitted Lessee, a written agreement (which may be a copy of the lease, security agreement, conditional
sale agreement, or other agreement covering such airframe), whereby such Person agrees that neither it nor its successors will acquire or claim any right, title, or interest in an Engine by reason of the installation of such Engine on any such
airframe at any time while such Engine is subject to the Lien of this Mortgage. 
 As security for Borrower’s due and punctual payment
and performance of all of its covenants and obligations in the Operative Agreements, Borrower hereby grants to Security Agent a security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title, and interest in and to each Permitted Lease having a term in
excess of one year of any Aircraft, Airframe, or Engine, including with respect to all payments, including payments of rent, insurance proceeds (other than public liability insurance proceeds), and other amounts due or to become due thereunder.
Borrower shall enter into a “Lease Assignment” and a “Lessee Consent” each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Security Agent with respect to each Permitted Lease of the Airframe having a term of one or more years.
In connection therewith Borrower shall cause (subject to the consent of the Security Agent) an assignment of associated rights with respect to such Permitted Lease to be registered with the International Registry, and in addition shall take such
additional actions as are required under Section 6.1 of the Loan Agreement. 
 (c) Operation and Use. Borrower
shall not operate, use, or locate the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine, or allow the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine to be operated, used, or located, (1) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required by
Section 4.6, except in the case of a requisition by the U.S. Government where Borrower obtains (and provides evidence of) an indemnity in lieu of such insurance from the U.S. Government, or insurance from the U.S. Government, against
substantially the same risks and for at least the amounts of the insurance required by Section 4.6 covering such area, or (2) in any recognized area of hostilities unless covered in accordance with Section 4.6 by war risk insurance,
or in either case unless the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine is only temporarily operated, used, or located in such area as a result of an emergency, equipment malfunction, navigational error, hijacking, weather condition, or other similar
unforeseen circumstance, so long as Borrower diligently and in good faith proceeds to remove the Aircraft from such area. Borrower shall not permit the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine to be used, operated, maintained, serviced, repaired or
overhauled (x) in violation of any Law binding on or applicable to such Aircraft, Airframe, or Engine or (y) in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration of any Governmental Entity relating to the Aircraft, the
Airframe, or any Engine, except (i) immaterial or non-recurring violations with respect to which corrective 
  

 18 








 measures are taken promptly by Borrower or Permitted Lessee upon discovery thereof, or (ii) to the
extent the validity or application of any such Law or requirement relating to any such certificate, license, or registration is being contested in good faith by Borrower or Permitted Lessee in any reasonable manner which does not involve any
material risk of the sale, forfeiture, or loss of the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine, any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty against Security Agent or any Lender or impair in any material respect Security
Agent’s or any Lender’s interest in the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine. The Aircraft shall not be operated or used (except in the course of customary maintenance so long as ground insurance is in effect), and shall be grounded, if
the insurance coverage required by the terms of Section 4.6 are not in effect. 
 (d) Maintenance and Repair. At
its own cost and expense, Borrower shall cause the Aircraft, the Airframe, and each Engine (and any engine that is not an Engine but installed on the Aircraft) to be maintained, serviced, repaired, and overhauled in accordance with (1) while
operated by Borrower, Borrower’s FAA-approved maintenance program and, while operated by a Permitted Lessee, Permitted Lessee’s Approved Maintenance Program, (in either case, the “Maintenance Program”) so as (aa) to keep the
Aircraft, the Airframe, and each Engine in as good operating condition as on the Closing Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and (bb) to keep the Aircraft in such operating condition as may be necessary to enable the applicable airworthiness
certification of the Aircraft to be maintained under the regulations of the FAA or other Aviation Authority then having jurisdiction over the operation of the Aircraft (but in any event in accordance with the Maintenance Program), except during
(x) temporary periods of storage during which time appropriate storage maintenance will be performed in accordance with applicable regulations, (y) maintenance and modification permitted hereunder, or (z) periods when the FAA or such
other Aviation Authority has revoked or suspended the airworthiness certificates for Similar Aircraft; and (2) except during periods when a Permitted Lease is in effect, the same standards as Borrower uses with respect to Similar Aircraft in
its fleet operated by Borrower in similar circumstances and, during any period in which a Permitted Lease is in effect, in accordance with the Maintenance Program of the Permitted Lessee. Borrower further agrees that the Aircraft, the Airframe, and
Engines will be maintained, used, serviced, repaired, overhauled, or inspected in compliance with applicable Laws with respect to the maintenance of the Aircraft and in compliance with each applicable airworthiness certificate, license, and
registration relating to the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine issued by the Aviation Authority, other than minor or nonrecurring violations with respect to which corrective measures are taken upon discovery thereof and except to the extent
Borrower or Permitted Lessee is contesting in good faith the validity or application of any such Law or requirement relating to any such certificate, license, or registration in any reasonable manner which does not create any material risk of sale,
loss, or forfeiture of the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine or the interest of Security Agent or any Lender therein, or any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty against Security Agent or any Lender. Borrower shall
maintain or cause to be maintained the Aircraft Documents in English (except that, during the term of any Permitted Lease to a Permitted Lessee who is a Permitted Foreign Air Carrier, such Permitted Lessee may maintain Aircraft Records in the
primary language of the country in which such Permitted Lessee is located; provided, certified translations shall be made into English of all such Aircraft Records by 
  

 19 








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

 20 








 (f) Markings. On or reasonably promptly after the Closing Date, Borrower will
cause to be affixed to, and maintained in, the cockpit of the Airframe and on each Engine, in each case, in a clearly visible location, a placard of a reasonable size and shape bearing the legend: “Subject to a security interest in favor of The
Royal Bank of Scotland, as Security Agent.” Such placards may be removed temporarily, if necessary, in the course of maintenance of the Airframe or Engines and promptly replaced thereafter. If any such placard is damaged or becomes illegible,
Borrower shall promptly replace it with a placard complying with the requirements of this Section 4.2(f). 
 (g)
Information for Filings. Borrower shall promptly furnish to Security Agent such information within Borrower’s possession or reasonably available or obtainable by Borrower (without out-of-pocket cost or expense to Borrower unless Security
Agent reimburses Borrower for such out-of-pocket cost or expense) as may be required to enable Security Agent timely to file any reports required to be filed by it as Security Agent under this Mortgage with any Governmental Entity because of, or in
connection with, the interest of Security Agent in the Aircraft, the Airframe or the Engines, or any other part of the Collateral; provided, however, that with respect to any such information which Borrower reasonably deems commercially sensitive or
confidential, Security Agent, so long as delay in providing such information will not expose Security Agent to any risk of criminal liability or any material risk of material civil liability, shall afford Borrower a reasonable opportunity to seek
from any such Governmental Entity a waiver of the obligation to provide any such information, or a consent to the filing of such information directly by Borrower in lieu of filing by Security Agent, and if any such waiver or consent is evidenced to
the reasonable satisfaction of Security Agent then Borrower shall not be required to furnish such information to Security Agent 
 4.3
Inspection. 
 (a) At all reasonable times, Security Agent or its authorized representatives (the “Inspecting
Parties”) may (not more than once every twelve (12) months, unless an Event of Default exists, then such inspection right shall not be so limited) inspect the Aircraft and the Aircraft Documents. 
 (b) Any inspection of the Aircraft hereunder shall be limited to a visual, internal and external walk-around inspection, and shall not
include the opening of any panels, bays, or other components of the Aircraft (other than inspection panels which may be opened and closed by hand and without the use of tools in the course of normal line maintenance access), and no such inspection
shall interfere with Borrower’s or any Permitted Lessee’s maintenance or operation of the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine. 
 (c) With respect to such rights of inspection, Security Agent shall not have any duty or liability to make, or any duty or liability by reason of not making, any such visit, inspection or survey. 
 (d) Each Inspecting Party shall bear its own expenses in connection with any such inspection, unless an Event of Default exists, then
Borrower shall reimburse each Inspecting Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such inspection. 
  

 21 








 4.4 Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations, Modifications, and Additions; Substitution of
Engines. 
 (a) Replacement of Parts. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower, at its own cost and expense,
will promptly replace (or cause to be replaced) all Parts that are from time to time incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft, and that become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair, or
permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, at its own cost and expense, may remove (or cause to be removed) in the ordinary course of business, fleet management, maintenance, service, repair, overhaul, or
testing any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair, or permanently rendered unfit for use; provided, that, except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower will replace or cause the
replacement of such Parts as promptly as practicable but in no case later than 90 days. All replacement parts (other than replacement parts installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine on a temporary basis) shall be owned by Borrower or,
as the case may be, the Permitted Lessee and shall be free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens and pooling arrangements to the extent permitted by Section 4.4(c), and shall be in good operating condition and (except in the case
of replacement parts installed in or attached to the Airframe on a temporary basis) have a value, remaining useful life and utility not less than the value, remaining useful life and utility of the Parts replaced (assuming such replaced Parts were
in the condition required hereunder) and such replacement shall have documentation meeting the applicable requirements of the FAA or other Aviation Authority then having jurisdiction over the Aircraft. 
 (b) Removal of Parts. Except as otherwise provided herein, any Part at any time removed from the Airframe or any Engine shall
remain subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, no matter where located, until it is replaced by a part that has been incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine and that meets the requirements for replacement parts
specified above. Except with respect to replacement parts installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine on a temporary basis, as soon as a replacement part is incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine as
provided in Section 4.4(a), without further act, (1) the replaced part shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights of Security Agent and shall no longer be a Part hereunder, and (2) such replacement part shall become a Part
hereunder and subject to this Mortgage and be part of such Airframe or Engine for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or Engine. 
 (c) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Aircraft may be subjected by Borrower or a Permitted Lessee to a normal pooling
arrangement customary in the airline industry and entered into in the ordinary course of business of Borrower or Permitted Lessee, provided, that the part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe
or any Engine in accordance with Section 4.4(a) 
  

 22 








 and Section 4.4(b) as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part and the Person
using the removed part in the course of its participation in such pooling arrangement complies with the documentation and maintenance requirements of the FAA or the Aviation Authority then having jurisdiction over the Aircraft. In addition, any
replacement part when incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine may be owned by any third party, subject to a normal pooling arrangement, so long as Borrower or a Permitted Lessee, as promptly thereafter as practicable,
either (1) causes such replacement part to become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens, at which time such replacement part shall become a Part, or (2) replaces (or causes to be replaced)
such replacement part by incorporating or installing in or attaching to the Aircraft a further replacement part owned by Borrower or, as the case may be, a Permitted Lessee free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens and which shall become
subject to the Lien of this Mortgage in accordance with Section 4.4(b). 
 (d) Alterations, Modifications, and
Additions. Borrower shall make (or cause to be made) alterations and modifications in and additions to the Aircraft as may be required to be made from time to time to meet the applicable standards of the FAA or other Aviation Authority having
jurisdiction over the operation of the Aircraft, to the extent made mandatory in respect of the Aircraft (a “Mandatory Modification”); provided, that Borrower or a Permitted Lessee may, in good faith and by appropriate procedure, contest
the validity or application of any law, rule, regulation, or order in any reasonable manner which does not adversely affect in any material respect Security Agent’s interest in the Aircraft and does not involve any material risk of sale,
forfeiture, or loss of the Aircraft or the interest of Security Agent or any Lender therein, or any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty being imposed on Security Agent or any Lender. In addition, Borrower at its own cost
and expense may make or permit to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine (each an “Optional Modification”) as Borrower or a Permitted Lessee deems desirable in the proper conduct of its
business, including removal of Parts which Borrower deems are obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use in the Aircraft; provided, that no such Optional Modification shall (1) diminish the fair market value, utility, or useful life
of the Aircraft or any Engine below its fair market value, utility, or useful life immediately before such Optional Modification (assuming the Aircraft or such Engine was in the condition required by this Mortgage immediately before such Optional
Modification), (2) impair the airworthiness of the Airframe or the Engine, (3) involve structural modification to the Airframe that would be inconsistent with the use of the Aircraft as an aircraft in passenger configuration or
(4) cause the Aircraft to cease to have the applicable standard certificate of airworthiness. Borrower or a Permitted Lessee shall obtain all supplemental type certificates for any modification that is a major modification in accordance with
the applicable regulations of the FAA. Except as otherwise provided herein, all Parts (other than Removable Parts) incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft as a result of such Optional Modification shall, without further act, become
subject to this Mortgage. Borrower or any Permitted Lessee may, at any time so long as the Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, remove any such Part (such Part being referred to herein as a “Removable Part”) from
such Airframe or an Engine if (i) such Part is in addition to, and not in replacement of or in substitution for, 
  

 23 








 any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine at the time
of delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of, or in substitution for, any such original Part, (ii) such Part is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to such Airframe or any Engine pursuant to
Section 4.2(d) or the first sentence of this Section 4.4(d), and (iii) such Part can be removed from such Airframe or any Engine without diminishing the fair market value, utility, or remaining useful life which such Airframe or any
Engine would have had at the time of removal had such removal not been effected, assuming the Aircraft was otherwise maintained in the condition required by this Mortgage and such Removable Part had not been incorporated or installed in or attached
to the Aircraft. No Removable Part shall be subject to the Lien of this Mortgage. Removable Parts may be leased from or financed by third parties other than Security Agent; provided, the Lien related to any such lease or financing shall not extend
beyond the Removable Parts subject to such lease or financing. For the avoidance of any doubt, Security Agent and Borrower acknowledge and agree that any and all in-flight entertainment equipment (“IFE”) installed in the Aircraft (whether
before or after delivery thereof) shall be deemed to be a Removable Part for all purposes of this Mortgage, but only to the extent and for so long as such IFE is not owned by Borrower or is subject to lease or a secured financing arrangement by
third parties other than Security Agent; provided, that: 
 (1) the owner or financier of the IFE will have no lien on or
against the Aircraft and no rights with respect to the Aircraft except the right to remove the IFE from such Aircraft if such owner, financier or Borrower repairs and restores the Aircraft as provided below; 
 (2) prior to the installation of any IFE, Borrower shall provide Security Agent with the identity of the owner or financier of such IFE.
Security Agent acknowledges that (i) the IFE will not constitute a Part or a part of the Aircraft, and (ii) the IFE will not become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage; and 
 (3) such right of installation and removal is subject to and conditional upon any such owner or financier repairing or causing to be
repaired any damage to the Aircraft in connection therewith and restoring both cosmetically and functionally those systems and fittings affected by the removal of such IFE and paying (and holding Security Agent and the Lenders harmless with respect
to) all costs, expenses and liabilities in connection therewith. 
 Security Agent further agrees that parts installed on the Engine (whether
before or after delivery thereof) to increase the thrust setting of any such Engine to a thrust setting greater than a B20 rating shall each be deemed to be a Removable Part for all purposes of this Mortgage; provided, however, that upon removal of
any such parts to reduce the thrust setting back to the B20 rating, the appropriate parts are installed to restore the affected Engine to the B20 rating; provided, further, that if it is necessary for operational reasons to reduce the thrust setting
of any such Engine to a thrust setting below a B20 rating, then Parts removed for that purpose shall not be deemed to be Removable Parts and shall continue to be subject to the Lien of this Mortgage until such time as they have been reinstalled or
replaced by Parts which increase the thrust setting to B20 or higher. 
  

 24 








 (e) Substitution of Engines. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Section 4.4(e), (A) Borrower shall have the right at its option at any time, on at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Security Agent, to substitute for any Engine, and (B) if an Event of Loss to an Engine occurs
under circumstances in which an Event of Loss to the Airframe has not occurred, Borrower shall within 90 days of the occurrence of such Event of Loss substitute for any Engine, a Replacement Engine, free and clear of Liens (other than Permitted
Liens not of record). In such event, immediately upon the effectiveness of such substitution in accordance with this Section 4.4(e) and without further act, (1) the replaced Engine shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights of
Security Agent and the Lien of this Mortgage and shall no longer be deemed an Engine hereunder, (2) such Replacement Engine shall become subject to this Mortgage and be deemed part of the Aircraft for all purposes hereof to the same extent as
was the replaced Engine. Such Replacement Engine shall be an engine manufactured by Engine Manufacturer that is the same model as the Engine being replaced thereby, or an improved model (but in any event the same model as the other Engine then

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

Operative Agreements, and at such time as no Default or Event of Default exists, such amount and any gain realized as a result of investments required to be made pursuant to Article 6 shall (to the extent not theretofore applied as provided herein)
be paid over to Borrower. 
 4.6 Insurance. 
 (a) Borrower’s Obligation to Insure. Borrower shall comply with, or cause to be complied with, each of the provisions of Annex

as provided in the policy relating thereto); provided, that no insurance may be obtained or maintained by Security Agent that would limit or otherwise adversely affect the coverage of or increase the cost of any insurance required to be obtained or
maintained by Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.6 and Annex B.

U.S. Government or other U.S. Governmental Entity, against such risk in an amount that, when added to the amount of insurance (including 
  

 33 








 permitted self-insurance), if any, against such risk that Borrower (or any Permitted Lessee) may continue
to maintain, in accordance with this Section 4.6, during the period of such requisition or transfer, shall be at least equal to the amount of insurance against such risk otherwise required by this Section 4.6. If Borrower shall obtain an
indemnity or insurance under this Section 4.6(c), Borrower shall promptly furnish Security Agent with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Security Agent of such indemnity or insurance. 
 (e) Government Insurance. Security Agent shall accept, in lieu of insurance when required against war risk and allied perils with
respect to the Aircraft described in Annex B, indemnification or insurance from the United States Government against war risks and allied perils in such amounts and on such terms that when added to the insurance maintained by Borrower, Borrower is
in full compliance with the requirements of this Section 4.6. 
 (f) Application of Insurance Proceeds. As between
Borrower and Security Agent, all insurance proceeds received as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss to the Aircraft or any Engine under policies required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.6 will be applied in
accordance with Sections 3, 4.5(d) and 4.5(f), as applicable. All proceeds of insurance required to be maintained by Borrower, in accordance with Section 4.6 and Section B of Annex B, in respect of any property damage or loss not constituting
an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, the Airframe, or any Engine will be held by Security Agent and applied to pay (or to reimburse Borrower) for repairs or for replacement property upon delivery of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Security Agent that the repairs or replacement have been effected in accordance with this Mortgage, and any balance remaining after such repairs or replacement with respect to such damage or loss shall be paid over to, or retained by, Borrower,
subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 (and any other applicable provisions) hereof.

 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Security Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by Law referred to below) to or upon Borrower or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances
forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or
contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Security Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and
at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Security Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by Law, upon
any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Borrower, which right or equity of redemption is hereby waived and released. At any public or private sale the
Lenders shall be entitled to credit against the purchase price bid at such sale all or any part of the unpaid amounts of Equipment Notes or other Secured Obligations. Borrower further agrees, at Security Agent’s request, to make the Collateral
available to Security Agent at places which Security Agent shall reasonably select, whether at Borrower’s premises or elsewhere. Security Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 4.1, after
deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Security Agent and the Lenders
hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as Security Agent may elect consistent with the provisions of Section 3.3,
and only after such application and after the payment by Security Agent of any other amount required by any provision of Law, need Security Agent account for the surplus, if any to Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Borrower waives
all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Security Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the
Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations. 
  

 37 








 Upon every taking of possession of Collateral under this Section 5.2, Security Agent
shall, acting at the written direction of a Majority in Interest of Lenders, from time to time, at the expense of the Collateral (and such expense shall be due and payable by Borrower), make all such expenditures for maintenance, repairs,
replacements, and modifications to and of the Collateral, and such improvements to and insurance of the Collateral, as it may reasonably deem proper. In each such case, Security Agent shall have the right to maintain, use, operate, store, lease,
control or manage the Collateral and to exercise all rights and powers of Borrower relating to the Collateral in connection therewith, as Security Agent shall deem best, acting at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders,
including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, insurance, use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as Security Agent may, acting at the
written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders, reasonably determine; and Security Agent shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits of the Collateral and every part
thereof. Such tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be applied by Security Agent, acting at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders, to pay any of the expenses of use, operation, storage, leasing,
control, management or disposition of the Collateral, and of any or all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments which Security Agent may be required or may elect, acting at the written
direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders, to make, if any, for Taxes, insurance or other proper charges assessed against or otherwise imposed upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and all other payments which Security Agent may be
required or expressly authorized to make under any provision of this Mortgage, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Security Agent and all other amounts owing to Security Agent under Section 7, and shall otherwise be
applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 3. 
 In addition, Borrower shall be liable, without duplication of
any amounts payable hereunder or under any other Operative Agreement, for all reasonable legal fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of Security Agent’s
remedies with respect thereto, including all costs and expenses specified in the preceding paragraph incurred in connection with the retaking, return or sale of the Airframe and any Engine in accordance with the terms hereof or under the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of New York, which amounts shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Mortgage. 
 If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Equipment Notes shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 5.2(c), at the request of Security Agent, acting at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders,
Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to Security Agent such instruments of title and other documents as Security Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enable Security Agent or an agent or representative designated by Security Agent, at
such time or times and place or places as Security Agent may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to which Security Agent shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If Borrower shall for any reason fail to execute and
deliver such instruments and documents after such request by Security Agent, Security Agent, acting at the written direction of the Majority 
  

 38 








 in Interest of Lenders, may obtain a judgment conferring on Security Agent the right to immediate
possession and requiring Borrower to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to Security Agent, to the entry of which judgment Borrower hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so. 
 Nothing in the foregoing shall affect the right of any Lender to receive all amounts owing to such Lender as and when the same may be due.

 (b) Notice of Sale. Security Agent shall, if permitted by applicable Law, give Borrower at least ten (10)
days’ prior notice of any public sale or of the date on or after which any private sale will be held, which notice Borrower hereby agrees to the extent permitted by applicable Law is reasonable notice. The Lenders shall be entitled to bid for
and become the purchaser of any Collateral offered for sale pursuant to this Section 5.2 and to credit against the purchase price bid at such sale all or any part of the due and unpaid amounts of the Equipment Notes or other Secured Obligations
secured by the Lien of this Mortgage. 
 (c) If an Event of Default exists, then and in every such case Security Agent may
(and shall, upon receipt of a written demand therefor from a Majority in Interest of Lenders), at any time, by delivery of written notice or notices to Borrower, declare all the Equipment Notes to be due and payable, whereupon the unpaid Original
Amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and other amounts due thereunder or otherwise payable hereunder, shall immediately become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or
notice, all of which are hereby waived; provided, that if an Event of Default referred to in clause (e), (f), or (g) of Section 5.1 exists, then and in every such case the unpaid Original Amount then outstanding, together with accrued but
unpaid interest, and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Equipment Notes, shall immediately and without further act become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, or notice, all of which are hereby waived. 
 If at any time after the Original Amount of the Equipment Notes becomes so due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the
payment of the money so due, or any thereof, is entered, all overdue payments of interest upon the Equipment Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the Equipment Notes (except the Original Amount of the Equipment Notes which by such
declaration shall have become payable) has been duly paid, and every other Event of Default with respect to any covenant or provision of this Mortgage has been cured, then and in every such case a Majority in Interest of Lenders may (but shall not
be obligated to), by written instrument filed with Security Agent, rescind and annul Security Agent’s declaration (or such automatic acceleration) and its consequences; but no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any
subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 (d) If the Collateral (or any part thereof) is sold
pursuant to any judgment or decree of any court or otherwise in connection with the enforcement of this Mortgage, the unpaid Original Amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and other
amounts due thereunder shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, or notice, all of which are hereby waived. 
  

 39 








 5.3 Remedies Cumulative. 
 To the extent permitted by applicable Law but without duplication of recovery, and subject to the provisions of Section 5.4 below, each and every
right, power and remedy herein specifically given to Security Agent or otherwise in this Mortgage shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at Law, in
equity, by statute or by the Operative Agreements, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by
Security Agent, acting at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or
thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by Security Agent in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, impair any such right, power or
remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of Borrower or to be an acquiescence therein. 
 5.4 Concerning the Cape
Town Convention. 
 Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that (x) in addition to the remedies set forth in this
Section 5 or otherwise available to Security Agent under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements, at law or in equity, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Security Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, exercise any remedy available to it under the Cape Town Convention (subject, in each case to the requirements and limitations of the Cape Town Convention), including the remedies set forth in Articles 8, 9 and 34 of the Cape Town
Convention, but excluding the (a) procurement of the de-registration of the Aircraft (if the Aircraft is registered with the FAA or any successor agency thereto) and the export and physical transfer of the Aircraft or any Engine from the
territory (if from a territory within the territorial limits of the United States) in which it is situated pursuant to Article IX of the Protocol, (b) relief pending final determination under Article 13 of the Cape Town Convention and Article X
of the Protocol and (c) solely to the extent permitted by Article 15 of the Cape Town Convention, the provisions of Chapter III of the Cape Town Convention with regard to default remedies, provided that such exclusion in clause (c) shall
not be applicable (to the extent permitted by Article 15 of the Cape Town Convention) to the extent such default remedies are exercised outside the territorial limits of the United States and in a manner not involving the courts of the United States
or of its territorial units; and 
 (y) where a remedy is available to it under the Cape Town Convention and also under this Agreement and
the other Operative Agreements or other applicable Law, to the extent permitted by the Cape Town Convention and other applicable Law, and subject to the provisions of the previous clause (x), the Security Agent may elect under which of the foregoing
it shall exercise such remedy. 
  

 40 








 5.5 Discontinuance of Proceedings. 
 In case Security Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise,
and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to Security Agent, then and in every such case Borrower and Security Agent shall, subject to any determination in such proceedings,
be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of Borrower or Security Agent shall continue, as if no such proceedings had been undertaken (but otherwise without
prejudice). 
 5.6 Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 Upon written instruction from a Majority in Interest of the Lenders, Security Agent shall waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, and upon any such waiver such Default shall cease to exist and any Event
of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Mortgage, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided, that in the absence of written
instructions from all relevant Lenders, Security Agent shall not waive any Default (a) in the payment of the Original Amount, and interest and other amounts due under any Equipment Note then outstanding, or (b) in respect of a covenant or
provision hereof which, under Article 7, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all Lenders. 
 5.7 Appointment of
Receiver. 
 If an Event of Default exists and the Equipment Notes have been accelerated, Security Agent shall, as a matter of right, be
entitled to the appointment of a receiver (who may be Security Agent or any successor or nominee thereof) for all or any part of the Collateral, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or the taking of possession
thereof or otherwise, and Borrower hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose any such appointment. Any receiver appointed for all or any part of the Collateral shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and powers
of Security Agent with respect to the Collateral. 
 5.8 Security Agent; Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact. 
 (a) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Security Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Mortgage, to take any and all appropriate action
and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Mortgage, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower hereby gives Security Agent the power and right, on
behalf of Borrower, without notice to or assent by Borrower, to do any or all of the following: 
 (1) in the name of Borrower
or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or
proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Security Agent for the purpose of 
  

 41 








 collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any Collateral whenever payable, in
Borrower’s name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer, or delivery for the enforcement of the Lien of this Mortgage, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale, assignments, and other
instruments as may be necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution, Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any substitute shall do pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage; (Borrower
agreeing that if so requested by Security Agent or any purchaser, Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale, assignment, transfer, or delivery, by executing and delivering to Security Agent or such purchaser all bills of sale, assignments,
releases, and other proper instruments to effect such ratification and confirmation as designated in any such request). 
 (2)
pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Mortgage and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

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

 42 








 Anything in this Section 5.7 to the contrary notwithstanding, Security Agent agrees
that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 5.7(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 (b) If Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in this Mortgage, Security Agent, at its option, but
without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. 
 (c) The expenses of Security Agent reasonably incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 5.7, together with interest thereon at the Past Due Rate, from the date of payment by Security Agent to the date
reimbursed by Borrower, shall be payable by Borrower to Security Agent within ten (10) days following demand. 
 (d)
Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Mortgage are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Mortgage is
terminated and the security interests created hereby are released. 
 5.9 Duty of Security Agent. 
 Security Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under
Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Security Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Subject to mandatory provisions of applicable Law, neither Security Agent, any
Lender nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise
dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Borrower or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on Security Agent and the Lenders hereunder are solely to
protect Security Agent’s and the Lenders’ interests in the Collateral and, subject to mandatory provisions of applicable Law, (i) such powers shall not impose any duty upon Security Agent or any Lender to exercise any such powers and
(ii) Security Agent and the Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 5.10 Execution of
Financing Statements. 
 Pursuant to any applicable Law, Borrower authorizes Security Agent to file or record financing statements and
other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of Borrower in such form and in such offices as are necessary or appropriate to perfect the security interests of Security Agent under this
Mortgage. 
  

 43 








 5.11 Rights of Lenders to Receive Payment 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Mortgage, the right of any Lender to receive payment of principal of and interest on an Equipment Note on or
after the due dates expressed in such Equipment Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates in accordance with the terms hereof, shall not be impaired or affected without such Lender’s
consent. 
 6. INVESTMENT OF AMOUNTS HELD BY SECURITY
AGENT 
 Any amounts held by Security Agent pursuant to Section 3.2, or pursuant to any provision of any other
Operative Agreement providing for amounts to be held by Security Agent which are not distributed pursuant to the other provisions of Article 3 shall be invested by Security Agent from time to time in Cash Equivalents as directed by Borrower so long
as Security Agent may acquire them using its reasonable efforts. All Cash Equivalents held by Security Agent pursuant to this Article 6 shall either be (a) registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or specially endorsed to, Security
Agent, or (b) held in an Eligible Account. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Mortgage, any income realized as a result of any such investment, net of Security Agent’s reasonable fees and expenses in making such investment, shall
be held and applied by Security Agent in the same manner as the principal amount of such investment is to be applied, and any losses, net of earnings and such reasonable fees and expenses, shall be charged against the principal amount invested.
Security Agent shall not be liable for any loss resulting from any investment required to be made by it under this Mortgage other than by reason of its willful misconduct or gross negligence, and any such investment may be sold (without regard to
its maturity) by Security Agent without instructions whenever such sale is necessary to make a distribution required by this Mortgage. 
 7.
SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS TO THIS MORTGAGE AND OTHER OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS. 
 7.1 Instructions of a Majority. 
 (a) No provision of this Mortgage may be amended, supplemented, waived, modified, discharged, terminated, or otherwise varied orally, but only by an instrument in writing that specifically identifies the provision of
this Mortgage that it purports to amend, supplement, waive, modify, discharge, terminate, or otherwise vary and is signed by the party against whom the enforcement of the amendment, supplement, waiver, modification, discharge, termination, or
variance is sought. The Majority in Interest of the Lenders and Borrower may, or, with the written consent of the Majority in Interest of the Lenders, parties to the Operative Agreements may, from time to time, and Security Agent shall, at the

terms and conditions as the Majority in Interest of the Lenders may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Mortgage or the other Operating Agreements or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however,
that no such waiver and no 
  

 44

consent of such Lender; (D)(w) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Majority in Interest of the Lenders, (x) consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Mortgage and the

shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon Borrower, the Lenders, Security Agent and all future holders of the Equipment Notes. In the case of any waiver, Borrower, the Lenders and Security Agent shall be restored to their
former position and rights hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of
Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Each such amendment, supplement, waiver, modification, discharge, termination, or variance shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given. No
provision of this Mortgage shall be varied or contradicted by oral communication, course of dealing or performance, or other manner not set forth in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the same is sought. 
 (b) Borrower and Security Agent may enter into one or more agreements supplemental hereto without the consent of a Majority in Interest of
the Lenders for any of the following purposes: (1) (aa) to cure any defect or inconsistency herein or in the Equipment Notes, or to make any change not inconsistent with the provisions hereof (provided that such change does not adversely affect
the interests of any Lender in its capacity solely as Lender), or (bb) to cure any ambiguity or correct any mistake; (2) to evidence the succession of another party as Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof, or to evidence the succession
of another party as a Security Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement; (3) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage, or pledge any property to or with Security Agent; (4) to correct or amplify the description of any property

Replacement Engine; (5) to add to the covenants of Borrower for the benefit of the Lenders, or to surrender any rights or power herein conferred upon Borrower; (6) to add to the rights of the Lenders; and (7) to include on the
Equipment Notes any legend as may be required by Law. 
  

 45 








 7.2 Security Agent Protected. 
 If, in the opinion of the institution acting as Security Agent hereunder, any document required to be executed by it pursuant to Section 7.1 affects
any right, duty, immunity, or indemnity with respect to such institution under this Mortgage, such institution may in its discretion decline to execute such document. 
 7.3 Documents Mailed to Lenders. 
 Promptly after Security Agent executes any document entered into
pursuant to Section 7.1, Security Agent shall mail, by first class mail (air mail in the case of international), postage prepaid, a copy thereof to Borrower (if not a party thereto) and to each Lender at its address last set forth in the
Equipment Note Register, but Security Agent’s failure to mail such copies shall not impair or affect the validity of such document. 
 7.4 No Request Necessary for Mortgage Supplement. 
 No written request or consent of the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.1
shall be required to enable Security Agent to execute and deliver a supplement to this Mortgage specifically required by the terms hereof. 
 8.
MISCELLANEOUS 
 8.1 Termination of Mortgage. 
 Upon (or at any time after) payment in full of the Original Amount of, interest on, any Breakage Amount and all other amounts due under all Equipment

Aircraft and the Engines and all other Collateral from the Lien of the Mortgage and discharging from the International Registry the registration of the International Interest created by this Mortgage (and any other registered interests in favor of
Security Agent), and Security Agent shall execute and deliver such instrument(s); provided, that this Mortgage shall earlier terminate, and this Mortgage shall be of no further force or effect, upon any sale or other final disposition by Security
Agent of all property constituting part of the Collateral, and Security Agent’s final distribution of all money or other property or proceeds constituting part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof. Except as otherwise provided

to Collateral in Lenders. 
 No holder of an Equipment Note shall have legal title to any part of the Collateral. No transfer, by
operation of law or otherwise, of any Equipment Note or other right, title, and interest of any Lender in and to the Collateral or hereunder shall terminate this Mortgage or entitle such holder or any successor or transferee of such holder to an
accounting or to the transfer to it of any legal title to any part of the Collateral. 
  

 46 








 8.3 Sale of Aircraft by Security Agent is Binding. 
 Any sale or other conveyance of the Collateral, or any part thereof (including any part thereof or interest therein), by Security Agent made pursuant to
this Mortgage shall bind the Lenders and shall be effective to transfer or convey all right, title, and interest of Security Agent, Borrower, and such holders in and to such Collateral or part thereof. No purchaser or other grantee shall be required
to inquire as to the authorization, necessity, expediency, or regularity of such sale or conveyance or as to the application of any sale or other proceeds with respect thereto by Security Agent. 
 8.4 Mortgage for Benefit of Borrower, Security Agent and Lenders.

 Unless otherwise expressly specified or permitted by the terms hereof, all notices, requests, demands,

the Loan Agreement. 
 8.6 Severability. 
 Any provision of this Mortgage which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof. Any such prohibition or unenforceability in any particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 8.7 No Oral Modification or Continuing Waiver. 
 No term or provision of this Mortgage or the Equipment Notes may be changed, waived, discharged, or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by Borrower and Security Agent, in compliance with
Section 7.1. Any waiver of the terms hereof or of any Equipment Note shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. 
 8.8 Successors and Assigns. 
 All covenants and agreements herein shall bind and benefit each of the
parties hereto and the permitted successors and assigns of each, all as herein provided. The provisions of this Mortgage shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted under
the Operative Agreements, except that (i) Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower without
such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement.
