 CREDIT AGREEMENT [HSH/AS B737-800] 
  
 THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT [HSH/AS B737-800] dated as of October 19, 2005 is among (i) ALASKA AIRLINES,
INC., an Alaska corporation (the “Borrower”), (ii) EACH LOAN PARTICIPANT IDENTIFIED ON SCHEDULE I HERETO, and (iv) HSH NORDBANK AG NEW YORK BRANCH, as the Security Agent acting on behalf of the Loan
Participants. 
  
 W I T N E
S S E T H: 
  
 WHEREAS,
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower and the Security Agent are entering into the Mortgage and Security Agreement [HSH/AS B737-800] dated as of the date hereof (the “Mortgage”) pursuant to
which the Borrower agrees, among other things, that Loan Certificates issued hereunder and all other obligations hereunder or under any other Operative Document will be secured by the mortgage and security interest created by the Borrower in favor
of the Security Agent. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  
 Section 1. Certain Definitions. Except as otherwise defined in this Agreement, including its annexes, schedules and exhibits, terms used herein in capitalized form shall have the meanings attributed
thereto in Annex A. 
  
 Unless the context otherwise requires, any
reference herein to any of the Operative Documents refers to such document as it may be modified, amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms and the terms of each other agreement restricting the modification, amendment or
supplement thereof. 
  
 Section 2. Commitments;
Borrower’s Notice of Payment Dates; Closing Procedure. 
  
 2.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Loan Participant agrees to make a secured loan to the Borrower in respect of each Advance (herein called, for such Advance, a “Drawing”) on a Borrowing Date to
be designated pursuant to Section 2.2, but in no event later than the Commitment Termination Date. In the case of each Loan Participant, such Drawing shall be equal to the lesser of (i) such Loan Participant’s Maximum Commitment minus
the aggregate amount of outstanding Drawings made by such Loan Participant prior to such Borrowing Date and (ii) such Loan Participant’s Participation Percentage set forth opposite such Loan Participant’s name in Schedule II
hereto [***] multiplied by the amount of such Advance (for each Loan Participant, such Loan Participant’s “Commitment” with respect to such Advance); provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount of Drawings made by the
Loan Participants in respect of any Aircraft be more than

respect to the omitted portions. 










 [Credit Agreement HSH/AS B737-800] 
  

 
[***]* of the Advance
Payment Base Price for such Aircraft. The Drawings shall be made in separate series (each, a “Series”) with respect to each Aircraft. 
  
 If any Loan Participant shall default in its obligation to make the amount of its Commitment available pursuant to this Section 2.1 in respect of any
Advance, no other Loan Participant shall have an obligation to increase the amount of its Commitment for such Advance and the obligations of the non-defaulting Loan Participants shall remain subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement. Without limiting the above, if the Security Agent disburses a Loan Participant’s Commitment in relation to an Advance without first having received funds from a Loan Participant, then the Loan Participant hereby indemnifies the
Security Agent against any loss it may incur as a result of such failure to fund by the Loan Participant. 
  
 As more particularly set forth in Section 5, Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Loan Participant with appropriate insertions a Loan
Certificate to evidence such Loan Participant’s Maximum Commitment. The Loan Certificates shall be issued such that each Loan Participant receives a Loan Certificate. Each Drawing shall be evidenced by this Agreement, the Loan Certificate with
respect thereto, and notations made from time to time by each Loan Participant in its books and records, including computer records. Each Loan Participant shall record in its books and records, including computer records, the principal amount of the
Drawings owing to it from time to time. Absent evidence to the contrary, each Loan Participant’s books and records shall constitute presumptive evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein. Failure by any Loan Participant to
make any such notation or record shall not affect the obligations of Borrower to such Loan Participant with respect to the repayment of its Drawings. 
  
 2.2 (a) The Borrower agrees to give the Security Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice (the “Funding
Notice”) of the Effective Date and the Borrowing Date for each Advance, which Borrowing Date shall be a Business Day not later than the Commitment Termination Date and shall not be a date before the scheduled date set forth in
Schedule III for such Advance, which notice shall specify any funding instructions and shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A. On the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the satisfaction of the conditions
precedent in Section 4.1 (the “Effective Date”), the Loan Participants shall make Drawings (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1) in respect of certain Advances which were paid by Borrower prior to the
Effective Date. The proceeds of such Drawings shall be paid to Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall remain responsible for, and shall have paid, its Cash Contribution for each Aircraft for which such Advances have been paid. 

 
 (b) In the event that any Drawing shall not be
consummated in accordance with the terms hereof on the Effective Date or the Borrowing Date specified in a Funding Notice, the Loan Participants and the Borrower shall cooperate with each other to arrange a mutually acceptable postponement of such
date provided that such date may not be more than 90 days

 [Credit Agreement HSH/AS B737-800] 
  

 after the Borrowing Date anticipated in Schedule III (the “Delayed Borrowing Date”).
In the event that the Drawing shall not be consummated in accordance with the terms by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Delayed Borrowing Date or, if earlier, the date on which the Borrower notifies the Loan Participants that the Drawing will not
occur, the Loan Participants may cancel or terminate any funding arrangements that they may have made to enable them to fund their Commitments and the Borrower shall pay to each Loan Participant on demand their Break Amount (as reasonably determined
by such Loan Participants and certified to the Borrower). In consideration of making their funds available on the Effective Date or the specified Borrowing Date, the Borrower shall compensate the Loan Participants for their net loss of earnings on
such funds, by paying the Loan Participants interest on the aggregate amount thereof (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed) at a rate equal to the Loan Participants’ cost of funds for the period from and including
the Effective Date or the specified Borrowing Date to but excluding the earlier of (x) the Business Day on which the Borrowing shall actually occur, (y) the Business Day on which the Borrower shall notify the Loan Participants that the
Borrowing will not occur prior to the Delayed Borrowing Date (if such notice is given prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) or if later, until the Business Day subsequent to such notice date), or (z) the Delayed Borrowing Date. 
  
 2.3 On the Effective Date, each Loan Participant, through or on behalf of the
Security Agent, agrees to pay the amount of its Commitment for the initial Advance to the Manufacturer by wire transferring (or by making other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Security Agent and the Manufacturer) such amounts to account
or accounts specified in the applicable Funding Notice, subject to continued compliance with the limitations set forth in Section 2.1, to such other account as the Borrower shall direct the Security Agent in writing, from time to time to
reimburse Borrower for previously funded Advances. On the Borrowing Date for each subsequent Drawing specified in a Borrower’s notice referred to in Section 2.2, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Loan Participant,
through or on behalf of the Security Agent, agrees to pay the amount of its Commitment for each such Advance directly to the Manufacturer by wiring such amounts to the account or accounts specified in the applicable Funding Notice. 
  
 2.4 The Borrower agrees that the actual transfer of the proceeds of Drawings
to the bank designated by the Borrower for credit to the Manufacturer’s or the Borrower’s account (as applicable) maintained at such bank shall constitute conclusive evidence that the Drawings were made, and neither the failure of any
Holder to endorse on the schedule attached to any Loan Certificate the amount of its Drawing, nor any failure of the bank designated by the Borrower to credit proceeds of a Drawing to the Manufacturer’s or the Borrower’s account (as
applicable) maintained at such bank, nor any failure of the Manufacturer to credit proceeds of a Drawing to the account of the Borrower maintained on the books and records of the Manufacturer, shall affect the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

  
 The closing with respect to each Drawing shall take place at
the offices of Vedder Price Kaufman & Kammholz, P.C., 805 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022.

shall bind the Borrower, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the delivery of such Loan Certificates or did not hold such offices at the respective dates of such Loan Certificates. No Loan
Certificates shall be issued hereunder except those provided for in Section 5.2(a) and any Loan Certificates issued in exchange or replacement therefor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

federal withholding taxes at the appropriate rate, and, on a timely basis, to deposit such amounts with an authorized depository and make such reports,
filings and other reports in connection therewith, and in the manner, required under applicable law. 
  
 (b) The Security Agent shall furnish no later than March 15 of each year to each Holder a U.S. Treasury Form 1042-S (or similar
forms as at any relevant time in effect), if applicable, indicating payment in full of any Taxes withheld from any payments by the Security Agent to such Holder together with all such other information and documents reasonably requested by such
Holder and necessary or appropriate to enable such Person to substantiate a claim for credit or deduction with respect thereto for income tax purposes of any jurisdiction with respect to which such Person is required to file a tax return.

  
 (c) The Security Agent need only perform its
obligations under Sections 5.3(a) and (b) for a Holder which is a Non-U.S. Person, if such Holder has furnished to the Security Agent (and the Security Agent has furnished to the Borrower a copy of) either: 
  
 (i) a properly completed and currently effective U.S.
Treasury Form W-8BEN (or such substitute or successor form as may be required by the United States Treasury Department) during the calendar year in which the payment is made (or at such other times as applicable law may require), and has not
notified the Security Agent of the withdrawal of such Form prior to the date of each interest payment; or 
  
 (ii) a properly completed and currently effective U.S. Treasury Form W-8 ECI or other certificate or form establishing exemption from
withholding of United States federal income tax during each calendar year in which the payment is made (or at such other times as applicable law may require), and has not notified the Security Agent of the withdrawal of such Form or certificate
prior to the date of each interest payment, then no amount shall be withheld from payments under the Loan Certificates held by such Holder in respect of United States federal income tax. 
  
 (d) Each Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Security Agent and the Borrower against any claim for
United States federal withholding taxes which the Security Agent improperly fails to withhold on payments to such Holder, except that, [***] with respect to such payment and withholding, the indemnification required by this Section shall apply only
if such failure to withhold is a direct result of the failure by such Holder to provide the required certificate or Form or the invalidity of any certificate or Form provided by such Holder pursuant to this Section 5.3 (it being understood that
the provision of such certificate or form shall constitute a representation by the relevant Holder as to such Holder’s qualification for complete exemption from United States federal gross income tax withholding or, in the event of a change in
law or regulation for which the Borrower is obligated to hold harmless the Holder pursuant to Section 8, for partial exemption from such withholding). 
  
 5.4 Distribution of Funds Received. (a) The Security Agent shall establish and maintain an account (the “Payment Account”),
into which all amounts payable hereunder shall be paid.

may then lawfully be entitled thereto. 
  
 (d)
Upon any partial optional repayment of the Loan Certificates pursuant to Section 5.11(a) hereof, the amount paid by Borrower shall be applied against the amounts which Borrower is obligated to pay in connection with such prepayment pursuant to
Section 5.11(a) (it being understood that no prepayment shall be permitted under Section 5.11(a) unless the Borrower pays a sufficient amount to satisfy the amounts owed by it under Section 5.11(a) in connection with such prepayment).

  
 (e) After an Event of Default shall have
occurred, and so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, all amounts deposited in the Payment Account and all proceeds resulting from a sale of any of the Mortgage Estate shall be applied in the following order of priority:

behalf of the Borrower, to pay all costs and expenses of the Security Agent incurred in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder or under any other Operative Document, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and all

 Fourth, to the Loan Participants ratably, without priority of one over the other, to the payment in full of the principal amount of
the Loan Certificates; 
  
 Fifth, the
balance, if any, thereof thereafter remaining, to the Borrower or such other Person(s) as may then lawfully be entitled thereto. 
  
 If the Security Agent purchases and subsequently sells the Aircraft to a third party, any net sale proceeds (after deduction of all
relevant costs, including maintenance, storage and insurance) which exceed the debt advances for such Aircraft shall be deposited in the Payment Account and distributed under this Section 5.4.

 All such payments by the Borrower and the Security Agent shall be made free and clear of and without reduction on account of all wire and other like charges. Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Loan Certificate,
the Borrower and the Security Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Loan Certificate is registered on the Certificate Register as the absolute owner of such Loan Certificate for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable

 15 









 [Credit Agreement HSH/AS B737-800] 
  

 
whether or not such Loan Certificate shall be overdue, and neither the Borrower nor the Security Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

payment date without first having received funds from the Borrower and if the Borrower subsequently fails to make such payment before the end of the day, then on the next Business Day on demand from the Security Agent, each Loan Participant which
has received such funds will refund to the Security Agent the amount advanced by the Security Agent which such Loan Participant received.

Holder and all other sums due to such Holder hereunder and under the other Operative Documents in respect of such Aircraft shall have been paid in full; provided, however, that the interests and rights of the Loan Participants in and with respect to
the mortgage and security interests created by the Mortgage shall continue (except with respect to any Aircraft as to which the related Series of Drawings has been repaid) after all such amounts have been paid in full so long as the Commitments have
not terminated. Upon payment in full of any Series of Drawings, the Security Agent shall release that portion of the Mortgage Estate which relates solely to the applicable Aircraft from the Lien of the Mortgage. 
  
 5.7 Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Loan Certificates. The
Security Agent agrees with the Borrower that the Security Agent shall keep a register (herein sometimes referred to as the “Certificate Register”) in which provision shall be made for the registration of Loan Certificates of each
Series and the registration of transfers of Loan Certificates of such Series. 
  
 Prior to the due presentment for registration of the transfer of any Loan Certificate, the Borrower and the Security Agent shall deem and treat the person in whose name such Loan Certificate is registered on the
Certificate Register as the absolute owner of such Loan Certificate, and the Holder for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Loan Certificate, and for all other purposes whether or not such Loan Certificate is
overdue, and neither the Borrower nor the Security Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 The Certificate Register shall be kept at the office of the Security Agent set forth in this Agreement or at the office of any successor
Security Agent, and the Security Agent is hereby appointed “Certificate Registrar” for the purpose of registering Loan Certificates and transfers of Loan Certificates as herein provided. 
  
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Loan
Certificate at the office of the Security Agent set forth in this Agreement and upon delivery by the Security Agent to the Borrower of such surrendered Loan Certificate, the Borrower shall execute, and the Security Agent shall deliver, in the name
of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Loan Certificates of a like aggregate principal amount. 
  

 16 









 [Credit Agreement HSH/AS B737-800] 
  

 At the option of the Holder, its Loan Certificates may be exchanged for other Loan
Certificates of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Loan Certificates to be exchanged at the office of the Security Agent specified in the Credit Agreement. Each new Loan Certificate issued upon
transfer or exchange shall be in a principal amount of at least [***]* (except as may be necessary to evidence the
entire outstanding principal amount of a Loan Certificate) and dated the Effective Date. Whenever any Loan Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Borrower shall execute and deliver the Loan Certificates which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. 
  
 Each Holder
may also assign to any assignee an interest in any Loan Certificate held by it and the Security Agent shall, upon receipt of a written request of such assignee, accompanied by such proof of such assignment as the Security Agent may reasonably
require, register in the name of such assignee such interest in such Loan Certificate and thereafter such assignee shall be a Holder for all purposes of the Operative Documents (subject to any limitations in the instrument of assignment).

  
 All Loan Certificates issued upon any
registration of transfer or exchange of Loan Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the Borrower evidencing the same obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits under the Mortgage and this Agreement, as the Loan Certificates
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
  
 Every Loan Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, shall (if so required by the Security Agent) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Security Agent duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Security Agent may require evidence satisfactory to it as to the compliance of any such transfer with the Securities Act and
the securities laws of any applicable state. 
  
 The Security Agent shall make a notation on each new Loan Certificate or Loan Certificates of the then available Commitment on the old Loan Certificate or Loan Certificates with respect to which such new Loan Certificate is issued, the
current outstanding principal and the date to which interest accrued on such old Loan Certificate or Loan Certificates has been paid and the extent, if any, to which any interest therein has been subject to a registered assignment. 
  
 The Security Agent shall not be required to register the
transfer of or exchange any surrendered Loan Certificates as above provided during the five calendar day period preceding the due date of any payment on such Loan Certificates. 
  
 Any Holder may transfer any or all of its Loan Certificates to any Person. The Borrower and the Security
Agent shall treat the Person in whose name each Loan Certificate is

 [Credit Agreement HSH/AS B737-800] 
  

 registered on the Certificate Register as the Holder with respect thereto for all purposes hereof

 The Security Agent shall give the Borrower and each Holder notice of such transfer of a Loan Certificate under this Section 5.7.

  
 5.8 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Loan
Certificates. If any Loan Certificate shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Borrower shall, upon the written request of the affected Holder, execute and deliver in replacement thereof, a new Loan Certificate, in the same
principal amount, dated the date of such Loan Certificate and designated as issued under the Mortgage. 
  
 If the Loan Certificate being replaced has become mutilated, such Loan Certificate shall be surrendered to the Security Agent and the
original thereof shall be furnished to the Borrower by the Security Agent. 
  
 If the Loan Certificate being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the affected Holder shall furnish to the Borrower and the Security Agent such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to
hold the Borrower and the Security Agent harmless and evidence satisfactory to the Borrower and the Security Agent of the destruction, loss or theft of such Loan Certificate and of the ownership thereof, provided, however, that if the affected
Holder is an original party to this Agreement or an Affiliate thereof, the written notice of such destruction, loss or theft and such ownership and the written undertaking of such Holder delivered to the Borrower and the Security Agent to hold
harmless the Borrower and the Security Agent in respect of the execution and delivery of such new Loan Certificate shall be sufficient evidence, security and indemnity. 
  
 5.9 Payment of Expenses on Transfer. Upon the issuance of a new Loan Certificate or new Loan Certificates pursuant to
Section 5.7 or 5.8, the Borrower and/or the Security Agent may require from the party requesting such new Loan Certificate or Loan Certificates payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse the Borrower and/or the Security Agent for, or to provide
funds for, the payment of any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith or any charges and expenses connected with such tax or other governmental charge paid or payable by the Borrower or the Security Agent, and any out of pocket
expenses, including legal fees (for external counsel) incurred, of the Borrower or the Security Agent. 
  
 5.10 Prepayment. (a) On at least five Business Days prior written notice, the Borrower may prepay on the date specified in such notice of
prepayment, in whole or in part, the Loan Certificates then outstanding at the principal amount thereof (or portion thereof to be repaid), and provided that any partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate original principal amount of at least
$5,000,000 and in $500,000 multiples thereof, and the amount thereof shall be specified in such written notice. The Security Agent will give prompt notice of the Borrower’s intent to prepay to the Holders. 
  
 (b) Upon the occurrence of a cancellation of the Boeing
Purchase Agreement with respect to any Aircraft for any reason whatsoever, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Drawings relating to such Aircraft shall become due and payable in 10 days, and 

  

 18 









 [Credit Agreement HSH/AS B737-800] 
  

 
the Borrower shall prepay the Loan Certificates to the extent of such Drawings, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment plus any
Break Amount and all other amounts due thereunder and hereunder and under the other Operative Documents with respect to such Aircraft to the Holders. The Security Agent will give notice of prepayment to the Holders under this Section 5.10(b)
promptly. 
  
 (c) In the event that a Loan
Participant is entitled to a payment under Section 5.13 or Section 8.2 (an “Affected Loan Participant”), the Borrower, the Security Agent and the Affected Loan Participant shall cooperate for a period of sixty
(60) days to: 
  
 (i) first, restructure the
Loan for the Affected Loan Participant so as to eliminate the need for any such payment (it being agreed that the Affected Loan Participant shall have no obligation to proceed with such restructuring to the extent such restructuring would:

  
 (1) result in an adverse regulatory
consequence for the Affected Loan Participant; or 
  
 (2) involve any unreimbursed or unindemnified cost for the Affected Loan Participant; or 
  
 (3) be inconsistent with the Affected Loan Participant’s internal policies); or 
  
 (ii) if no restructuring can be arranged, attempt, with the
Borrower acting as marketing agent, to find an entity reasonably satisfactory to the Security Agent to purchase the Affected Loan Participant’s Loan Certificate and assume the Affected Loan Participant’s Commitment. 
  
 The Affected Loan Participant shall be paid (by the
purchasing entity or the Borrower) the outstanding principal balance of its Loan Certificate, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, any Break Amount incurred (calculated as if such purchase were a prepayment of such Affected Loan
Participant’s Loan Certificate) and all other amounts owed to the Affected Loan Participant hereunder, thereunder or under any other Operative Document as a condition precedent to such purchase. 
  
 In the event the Borrower is unable to find a purchaser of
the Affected Loan Participant’s Loan Certificate, then, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice, the Borrower may prepay on the date
specified in its notice of prepayment, in whole the Affected Loan Participant’s Loan Certificate at the principal amount thereof together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment plus the Break Amount, if any, and all
other amounts due to the Affected Loan Participant hereunder, thereunder and under the other Operative Documents. 
  
 (d) In the event that the Manufacturer refunds any amounts under the Boeing Purchase Agreement relating to payments made thereunder for
which proceeds of any Drawing were used to pay (or to reimburse the Borrower) or otherwise relating to any Aircraft, a principal 

  

 19 









 [Credit Agreement HSH/AS B737-800] 
  

 
amount of the Drawings (and any Break Amount related thereto) relating to such Aircraft equal to such refund shall become immediately due and payable.

  
 (e) Any notice of prepayment delivered
pursuant to Sections 5.10(a), (b) or (c) shall be irrevocable and shall identify the amount to be prepaid and the Series of Drawings (if applicable) subject to prepayment. 
  
 5.11 Provisions Relating to Prepayment. (a) Notice of prepayment having been given, the principal amount of the
Loan Certificates so to be prepaid, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment, together with the Break Amount, if any, shall become due and payable on the prepayment date. 
  
 (b) On the date fixed for prepayment under Section 5.10, immediately available funds in Dollars shall
be deposited by the Borrower in the account of the Security Agent at the place and by the time and otherwise in the manner provided in Section 5.5, in an amount equal to the principal amount of Loan Certificates to be prepaid together with
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date fixed for such prepayment, all Break Amounts, if any, and all other amounts due to the Holders of the Loan Certificates hereunder, thereunder and under the other Operative Documents. 
  
 (c) Each Holder of a Loan Certificate shall furnish to the
Borrower, with a copy to the Security Agent, a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the Break Amount due to such Holder, which certificate shall be presumptively correct, absent manifest error. 
  
 5.12 Increased Costs. (a) The Borrower shall pay directly to each
Holder from time to time such amounts as such Holder may determine to be necessary to compensate such Holder for any increase in actual costs that such Holder determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of its Commitment or the loans
evidenced by its Loan Certificates or funding arrangements utilized in connection with such loans, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Holder hereunder in respect of any of Commitments, such loans or such arrangements (such increases
in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: 
  
 (i) imposes any tax that is the functional equivalent of any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement of the sort covered by
Section 5.12(a)(ii); or 
  
 (ii) imposes or
modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (including any Reserve Requirement) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Holder (including, without limitation, any
of such loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBO Rate” in Annex A), or any such obligations; or 
  
 (iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Loan Certificates (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities)
or any such obligation. 
  
 (b) Without limiting
the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.12 (but without duplication), the Borrower shall pay directly to each Holder of a Loan Certificate 

  

 20 









 [Credit Agreement HSH/AS B737-800] 
  

 
from time to time on request such amounts as such Holder may determine to be necessary to compensate such Holder (or, without duplication, the holding
company of which such Holder is a subsidiary) for any increase in actual costs that it determines are attributable to the maintenance by such Holder (or any lending office or such holding company), pursuant to any law or regulation or any
interpretation, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful so long as compliance therewith is standard banking practice in the relevant jurisdiction) of any court or
governmental or monetary authority following: 
  
 (i) any Regulatory Change; or 
  
 (ii)
implementing any risk-based capital guideline or other similar requirement hereafter issued by any government or governmental or supervisory authority, of capital in respect of its Commitments or Loan Certificates or funding arrangements utilized in
connection with the Loan Certificates; such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of such Holder (or any lending office or such bank holding company) could have
achieved but for such law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request. 
  
 (c) Each Holder shall notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement entitling such Holder to compensation under Sections 5.12(a) or (b) as promptly as practicable, but in any event
within 30 days, after such Holder obtains actual knowledge thereof, provided that: 
  
 (i) such Holder shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 5.12 in respect of any Additional Costs
resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 5.12 for Additional Costs incurred from and after the date such Holder does give such notice; and 
  
 (ii) each Holder will use commercially reasonable efforts (at the Borrower’s expense) to mitigate the
amount of the Additional Costs associated with such event, including designating a different lending office for the Loan Certificates of such Holder affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such
compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Holder, result in any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage to such Holder (other than economic disadvantages for which the Borrower agrees to indemnify such Holder and which indemnity is
acceptable to such Holder in its discretion acting reasonably based on its credit assessment of the Borrower). 
  
 (d) Each Holder will furnish to the Borrower an officer’s certificate setting forth in reasonable detail: 
  
 (i) the events giving rise to such Additional Costs;

  
 (ii) the basis for determining and allocating
such Additional Costs; and 
  
 (iii) the amount
of each request by such Holder for compensation under Sections 5.12(a) or (b) (subject, however, to any limitations such Holder may require in 

  

 21 









 [Credit Agreement HSH/AS B737-800] 
  

 
respect of disclosure of confidential information relating to its capital structure), together with a statement that the determinations and allocations made
in respect of the Additional Costs comply with the provisions of this Section 5.12 including as provided in the last proviso of this Section 5.12(c). 
  

Determinations and allocations by any Holder for purposes of this Section 5.12 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to
Section 5.12(a), or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to Section 5.12(b), on its costs or rate of return of maintaining its Commitment or Loan Certificate or its funding, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loan
Certificates, and of the amounts required to compensate such Holder under this Section 5.12, shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis and, in the case of
allocations, are made fairly. 
  
 (e) The
Borrower shall not be required to make payments under this Section to any Holder if (i) a claim hereunder arises through circumstances peculiar to such Holder and which do not affect commercial lenders in the same jurisdiction generally;
(ii) such Holder is required by Section 5.12(f) to sell its Loan Certificates to a designated purchaser (which may be the Borrower) but fails to do so (other than as a result of such designated Person failing to purchase such Loan
Certificates; (iii) such Holder is not also seeking indemnification against similar increased costs, to the extent it is entitled to do so, in transactions with substantial borrowers (it being agreed that an officer’s certificate to the
contrary from any such Holder shall constitute conclusive evidence of such fact); or (iv) the claim arises out of a voluntary relocation by such Holder of its lending office (it being understood that any such relocation effected pursuant to
Section 5.12(c)(ii) is not “voluntary”). 
  
 (f) If any Holder gives notice of a claim against the Borrower under Section 5.12(c), the Borrower shall have the right by notice to such Holder to request such Holder to sell, without representation or warranty
(except for its own acts), its Loan Certificates on a Business Day not fewer than ten days after the giving of such notice (the “Purchase Date”) to a Person (which may be the Borrower) designated by the Borrower (the
“Purchaser”) at a purchase price equal to either (A) the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan Certificates held by such Holder, plus (ii) accrued interest to the Purchase Date, plus
(iii) any Break Amount as if such Loan Certificates were being prepaid pursuant to Section 5.10 plus (iv) all other amounts owing to such Holder under the Operative Documents, or (B) a lesser amount than the preceding
clause (A), so long as the Borrower pays an additional amount sufficient to cover the amount of such shortfall (as compared to such clause (A)). 
  
 5.13 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Mortgage, if any Holder (an “Illegal Holder”) shall
notify the Security Agent that the introduction after the date of this Agreement of or any change after the date of this Agreement or any other Operative Document in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central
bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Holder to make, fund or allow to remain outstanding its Loan Certificate, then such Holder shall, promptly after becoming aware of the same, deliver to the Borrower through
the Security Agent a certificate to that effect, and, if the Security Agent on behalf of such Holder so requires, the Borrower shall attempt to cure such illegality or otherwise, within 10 days of such notification, the Borrower shall prepay the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan Certificate 

  

 22 









 [Credit Agreement HSH/AS B737-800] 
  

 
held by such Illegal Holder in full, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment plus all Break Amount, if any, and all other amounts
due thereunder and hereunder and under the other Operative Documents to such Illegal Holder. 
  
 Section 6. Extent of Interest of Holders. No Holder shall have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the mortgage and security interests created by the Mortgage when and if the
principal and interest on the Loan Certificate held by such Holder and all other sums payable to such Holder hereunder, under the Mortgage and under such Loan Certificate shall have been paid in full, provided, however, that the interests and rights
of the Loan Participants in and with respect to the mortgage and security interests created by the Mortgage shall continue after all such amounts have been paid in full so long as the Commitments have not terminated. 
  
 Section 7. Borrower’s Representations and Warranties. The
Borrower represents and warrants that on the date hereof and on each Borrowing Date: 
  
 (a) the Borrower is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in good standing pursuant to the laws of the State of Alaska; is
duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which its operations or the nature of its business requires, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect; is a U.S. Air Carrier;

(b) the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Operative Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized

Agreement”) among Alaska, the Loan Participants and Assignee, pursuant to which the Loan Participants have agreed to make certain funds available to Alaska in order to enable Alaska to meet certain of its deposit and advance payment
obligations under the Boeing Purchase Agreement in respect of the Aircraft specified in the Mortgage (those aircraft that Alaska has agreed to purchase which the Loan Participants are funding are referred to hereinafter as the
“Aircraft”). 
  
 B. Alaska and Assignee have
entered into that certain Mortgage and Security Agreement [HSH/AS B737-800] dated as of October 19, 2005 (“Mortgage”), pursuant to which Alaska has granted to Assignee, on behalf of itself and the Loan Participants, a security

June 2006 and April 2009, [***]* (the “Aircraft”) and its rights and interests, if any, in and to
any and all equipment furnished by or on behalf of Alaska expressly designated to be placed on any of the Aircraft (the “Buyer Furnished Equipment”) in order to secure performance of Alaska under and in respect of the Operative
Documents. 
  
 C. Alaska and Assignee wish to obtain
Manufacturer’s consent to the Mortgage and Manufacturer is willing to grant such consent, all subject to and upon the terms and conditions provided herein. 
  

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, the parties agree as follows: 
  
 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise

 2. Consent of Manufacturer. 
  
 a. Manufacturer hereby acknowledges notice of the Mortgage and consents, subject to the terms and conditions
of this Consent, to the assignment to Assignee of all of Alaska’s right and interest in and to the Boeing Purchase Agreement with respect to the Aircraft pursuant to the Mortgage. 
  
 b. Manufacturer agrees that this Consent constitutes the consent of Manufacturer as required by the Boeing
Purchase Agreement. 
  
 c. Solely to the extent
necessary to perfect Assignee’s security interest therein (but without making any representation or warranty with respect thereto or being subject to any liability whatsoever to the Assignee with respect to the Buyer Furnished Equipment except
as expressly provided in this Consent) and subject to the terms and conditions of this Consent and the Boeing Purchase Agreement, Manufacturer agrees to hold the Buyer Furnished Equipment on behalf of Assignee. 
  
 3. Assignee’s Rights under the Mortgage. 
  
 a. Event of Default. Manufacturer acknowledges that,
subject to the provisions of Paragraph 4 hereof, upon and after notice to Manufacturer by Assignee that an Event of Default under the Mortgage has occurred and is continuing and that Assignee is exercising its rights and remedies under the
Mortgage, Assignee shall be entitled to make all demands, give all notices, take all actions and exercise all rights of “Customer” under and subject to the Boeing Purchase Agreement in respect of the Aircraft (and Alaska shall not be
entitled to do so) including, if Assignee purchases an Aircraft, the right to all product support and warranties with respect thereto under the Boeing Purchase Agreement, to the extent assigned under the Mortgage. Manufacturer acknowledges that such
rights of “Customer” include Assignee’s right to purchase the Aircraft and agrees that in such event, the purchase price for an Aircraft shall be equal to the [***]* Price (as defined below). 
  
 b. Cancellation of Boeing Purchase Agreement. Manufacturer agrees that (i) upon deciding to cancel the Boeing Purchase

 EXHIBIT C

 [Credit Agreement HSH/AS B737-800] 
  

  
 (ii)
the Assignee shall have the right, within [***]* Business Days of receipt of such notice, subject to the provisions
of Paragraph 4 of this Consent, to give Manufacturer written notice of its irrevocable decision to assume all of the obligations of “Customer” under the cancelled Boeing Purchase Agreement insofar as it relates to any or all of the
Aircraft by entering into a substitute purchase agreement with Manufacturer, relating to such Aircraft on terms and conditions substantially equivalent to those set out in the Boeing Purchase Agreement, as modified pursuant to an assignment
agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto. 
  
 If
Assignee does so notify Manufacturer and enter into a substitute purchase agreement, then, subject to the terms of Paragraph 7 of this Consent, Assignee shall be entitled to make all demands, give all notices, take all actions and exercise all
rights of “Customer” under and subject to the substitute purchase agreement and purchase the Aircraft for the [***]* Price (as defined below). 
  
 In such case, Assignee shall be entitled but not obliged to purchase from Alaska all buyer furnished equipment related to the cancelled
Aircraft under the Boeing Purchase Agreement, in which Alaska has title or uncontested right to title on the same terms as a purchase by Manufacturer under the Boeing Purchase Agreement. 
  
 If no notice from Assignee is timely received, (i) Alaska and Assignee will be deemed to have waived
all rights thereto, but Assignee may exercise its enforcement rights in and to the Aircraft under the Operative Documents, and (ii) immediately prior to the sale of any Aircraft by the Manufacturer, the Assignee shall release the Boeing
Purchase Agreement to the extent relating to such Aircraft from the Lien of the Mortgage; provided, the Assignee shall retain its Lien to the extent necessary such that in connection with any such sale of the Aircraft by the Manufacturer, the
purchase price received by the Manufacturer is to be distributed (A) first, to reimburse the Manufacturer for all costs, expenses and damages incurred by the Manufacturer as a result of the cancellation; (B) second, to the Manufacturer,
for the payment of the final installment of the [***]* Price for the Aircraft; and (C) third, the balance to the Assignee for application and distribution in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement and the Mortgage for payments received
during the existence of an Event of Default. 
  
 In such case, Manufacturer shall be entitled but not obliged to purchase from Assignee or Alaska, as applicable, all Buyer Furnished Equipment related to the cancelled Aircraft under the Boeing Purchase Agreement, in which Assignee or
Alaska, as appropriate, has title or an uncontested right to title. 
  
 To the extent Assignee exercises its right to be treated as “Customer” with respect to one or more Aircraft, Assignee shall be under no obligation to exercise such right with respect to any other Aircraft.

hereunder, the assignee shall be entitled to take delivery of the Aircraft including all assigned warranties by payment of the unpaid portion of the [***]* Price (as defined below), as assigned to the Assignee, but, unless otherwise agreed, without

 remain liable to Manufacturer under the Boeing Purchase Agreement to perform all duties and
obligations of the “Customer” thereunder in respect of the Aircraft to the same extent as if the Mortgage and this Consent had not been executed, and (ii) the exercise by Assignee of any rights assigned under the Mortgage shall not
release Alaska from any of its duties or obligations to Manufacturer under the Boeing Purchase Agreement except to the extent that such exercise by Assignee shall constitute performance of such duties or obligations. 
  
 6. Notices. 
  
 a. Alaska and Assignee agree, expressly for the benefit of
Manufacturer, that for all purposes of the Mortgage, Manufacturer shall not be deemed to have knowledge of and need not recognize any event, condition, right, remedy or dispute affecting the interests of Alaska or Assignee under the Mortgage unless
and until Manufacturer shall have received written notice thereof from Assignee addressed to its Vice President-Contracts, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, if by mail, at P.O. Box 3707, Mail Code 21-34, Seattle, Washington 98124 or to
(425) 237-1706 if by fax. In acting in accordance with the Boeing Purchase Agreement and this Consent, Manufacturer may rely conclusively upon any such notice. 
  
 b. Manufacturer shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any notice or instruction received by it from
Assignee pursuant to the Mortgage or this Consent, and Manufacturer shall have no obligation to inquire as to the accuracy of such notice or instruction or as to the relative priority of rights of any person asserting rights in and to the Boeing
Purchase Agreement and the Aircraft. 
  
 c.
Except as provided in Paragraph 3 of this Consent, unless and until Assignee shall have notified Manufacturer that it is exercising its rights and remedies under the Mortgage, Alaska shall have all rights and obligations of “Customer”
under the Boeing Purchase Agreement and Manufacturer shall have no duty to consult with or otherwise deal with Assignee concerning the Boeing Purchase Agreement or the Aircraft. 
  
 d. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the receipt of Assignee’s written notice
that it is exercising its remedies under the Mortgage, as provided in Paragraph 3(a) hereof, Manufacturer shall have no obligation to inquire as to whether Alaska has complied with the provisions of the Mortgage and shall be entitled to rely
upon any notice, consent, waiver or other action taken by Alaska in connection with the Boeing Purchase Agreement. 
  
 e. Notice to Assignee hereunder shall be given by hand, first class, certified or registered mail, by a recognized overnight courier
service or by fax (confirmed by mail or overnight courier) at 230 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10169-0005. 
  
 7. Rights Subject to the Boeing Purchase Agreement. 
  
 a. Assignee and each Loan Participant hereby agrees, expressly for the benefit of Manufacturer, that, notwithstanding anything contained
in the Mortgage to the contrary (and without in any way releasing Alaska from any of its duties or obligations under the Boeing Purchase Agreement), insofar as the provisions of the Boeing Purchase Agreement relate to the Aircraft, in exercising any
rights under the Boeing Purchase Agreement, or in making any 

  

 EXHIBIT C 
 Page 5 









 [Credit Agreement HSH/AS B737-800] 
  

 
claim with respect to the Aircraft or other things (including without limitation data, Materials (as defined in the Boeing Purchase Agreement), training and
services) delivered or to be delivered pursuant to the Boeing Purchase Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Boeing Purchase Agreement, including without limitation, the DISCLAIMER AND RELEASE and EXCLUSION OF LIABILITIES in Article 11 of Part
2 of Exhibit C of the Aircraft General Terms Agreement, shall apply to and be binding upon Assignee to the same extent as if Assignee had been the original “Customer” thereunder. Assignee and each Loan Participant further agrees, expressly
for the benefit of Manufacturer, that at any time and from time to time upon the written request of Manufacturer, it shall promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further assurances, instruments and documents and take all such further
action as Manufacturer may reasonably request in order to obtain the full benefits of its agreements set forth in this paragraph. 
  
 b. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Consent, the execution and delivery by Manufacturer of this Consent and the performance
by Manufacturer of its obligations hereunder shall not be regarded as having created or imposed upon Manufacturer any increased or additional obligations or undertakings or any increased or additional limitations to the rights and duties on its part
than are contained in the Boeing Purchase Agreement as a result of entering into this Consent. Manufacturer shall not be required to divest itself of title to or possession of the Aircraft or any other thing to be delivered under the Boeing Purchase
Agreement until delivery and transfer thereof and payment therefor, as provided in the Boeing Purchase Agreement, or to take any action with respect to the Boeing Purchase Agreement or the Aircraft in any manner inconsistent with applicable law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy or other court order, ruling or finding). 
  
 8. Application of Deposits and Advance Payments. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) in the event Assignee exercises its rights under the Mortgage and purchases any Aircraft, the deposits and
advance payments made under the Boeing Purchase Agreement with respect to such Aircraft shall be applied toward the purchase price of such Aircraft and (ii) in the event the Boeing Purchase Agreement is cancelled with respect to any Aircraft,
deposits, credits and advanced payments made (or deemed made) under the Boeing Purchase Agreement with respect to such Aircraft shall be dealt with in accordance with the terms of the cancelled Boeing Purchase Agreement and applicable law.

  
 9. Indemnification of Manufacturer by the Assignee.
Assignee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Manufacturer, its successors and assigns, and their respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) and each an “Indemnitee”)
from and against any and all claims, losses, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements and liabilities of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel for such Indemnitees) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitees in any manner resulting from or arising out of the exercise by Assignee of its rights or remedies under the Mortgage or this Consent, if and
only if it is determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that Assignee was not entitled to exercise such rights or remedies or that such rights or remedies were exercised contrary to the provisions of this Consent, the
Mortgage or applicable law. 
  

 EXHIBIT C 
 Page 6 









 [Credit Agreement HSH/AS B737-800] 
  

 Notwithstanding the previous sentence, Assignee will not indemnify any Indemnitee who has been
determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have acted with gross negligence with regard to the matter for which indemnification is sought, provided that to the extent that any indemnity arises out of the terms of the
Boeing Purchase Agreement, such indemnification will be available in accordance with the terms of the Boeing Purchase Agreement. 
  
 If any Indemnitee hereunder has knowledge of any liability hereby indemnified against, it shall give prompt written notice thereof to Assignee. Assignee
shall have the right to investigate, defend or compromise any claim for which indemnification is sought and each Indemnitee hereunder shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of Assignee with respect thereto. 
  
 10. Manufacturer’s Representations and Warranties. Manufacturer
hereby represents and warrants to Alaska, Assignee and each Loan Participant that: 
  
 a. Manufacturer is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is
duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in the State of Washington. 
  
 b. Manufacturer has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Consent and the
execution, delivery and performance of this Consent have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Manufacturer. 
  
 c. Each of the Boeing Purchase Agreement and this Consent has been duly executed and delivered by Manufacturer and constitutes the legally
valid and binding obligation of Manufacturer, enforceable against Manufacturer in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is at issue in the proceeding in equity or at law). 
  
 d. Set forth on Schedule I hereto, with respect to each Aircraft, is (1) the current Scheduled
Delivery Date of such Aircraft, (2) the aggregate amount of Advances received by the Manufacturer prior to the date hereof with respect to such Aircraft, (3) the remaining scheduled dates and amounts of Advances with respect to such
Aircraft due after the date hereof and (4) the estimated purchase price as of the currently Scheduled Delivery Date for such Aircraft. 
  
 e. In the event the Manufacturer releases Alaska from its obligations under the Boeing Purchase Agreement to purchase an Aircraft prior to
the expiration of the applicable period in Section 3.b hereof, the Manufacturer shall pay to the Assignee in full the Series of Drawings made by the Loan Participants with respect to such Aircraft, together with all interest accrued and unpaid
thereon under the Loan Certificates (to a maximum of nine (9) months interest), and all other amounts due and payable in respect of such Drawings under the Operative Documents. 
  

 EXHIBIT C 
 Page 7 









 [Credit Agreement HSH/AS B737-800] 
  

 f. Manufacturer will not convey clear title to any of the Aircraft to Alaska without
confirmation from the Security Agent that all amounts due and owing from Alaska to the Loan Participants with respect to such Aircraft have been paid in full (or arrangements are in place to repay the Loan Participants simultaneously with such
conveyance), but may require Alaska to take delivery and convey title subject to the Lien of the Assignee, provided that, the Manufacturer must first furnish to the Assignee, at the same time as it is furnished to Alaska, a copy of monthly
correspondence providing forecast target delivery date information relating to such Aircraft beginning six months prior to the delivery of the Aircraft and further provided that a report is issued one month prior to the Aircraft delivery month that
includes notification of such Aircraft’s Engine serial numbers and a specific target delivery date, and also provided that any change to the specific target delivery date shall be provided by the Manufacturer to the Assignee at the same time as
such information is provided to Alaska. 
  
 11.
Manufacturer’s Covenants. Manufacturer hereby covenants to Alaska, Assignee and each Loan Participant that: 
  
 a. Manufacturer will remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under the
Boeing Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof and, subject to the terms of the Boeing Purchase Agreement, the Mortgage and this Consent, all of Manufacturer’s obligations under the Boeing Purchase Agreement will
inure to the benefit of Assignee as though Assignee were named “Customer” thereunder; 
  
 b. [***]* 
  
 c. Manufacturer will not
assert any lien or claim against any Aircraft after payment in full for that Aircraft under and in accordance with the Boeing Purchase Agreement. 
  
 12. GOVERNING LAW. THIS CONSENT WILL BE INTERPRETED UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, U.S.A., EXCEPT THAT
WASHINGTON’S CHOICE OF LAW RULES SHALL NOT BE INVOKED FOR THE PURPOSE OF APPLYING THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. 
  
 13. Counterparts. This Consent may be executed by the parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

 EXHIBIT C 
 Page 14 









 [Credit Agreement HSH/AS B737-800] 
  

 Section 5. Rights of Assignee. 
  
 (a) Effective upon the purchase of the Aircraft by Assignee,
Assignee and its successors and permitted assigns shall, to the exclusion of Assignor, be entitled to assert and enforce such rights and claims as substitute party plaintiff or otherwise, and Assignor shall, at the request of Assignee or its
successors or permitted assigns and at Assignor’s expense, cooperate with and take such action as is reasonably necessary to enable Assignee and its successors and permitted assigns to enforce such rights and claims (including, without
limitation, providing Assignee with a certified copy of the Purchase Agreement). In furtherance of the foregoing, Assignor hereby constitutes and appoints Assignee, its successors and permitted assigns, Assignor’s true and lawful attorney,
irrevocably (it being acknowledged that such appointment is coupled with an interest, namely Assignee’s rights acquired and to be acquired hereunder) with full power (in the name of Assignor or otherwise) to ask, require, demand, receive,
compromise, settle, compound and give acquittance for any and all monies and claims for monies due and to become due under, or arising out of, the Purchase Agreement in respect of the Aircraft, to the extent that the same have been assigned by this
Assignment, and for such period as Assignee may exercise rights with respect thereto hereunder, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute (or, if previously
commenced, assume control of) any proceedings and to obtain any recovery in connection therewith that Assignee may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises. 
  
 (b) All amounts that the Manufacturer or subcontractor or vendor, as the case may be, is obligated to pay to
Assignor under the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Aircraft, including, without limitation, in respect of refunds thereunder or resulting from the enforcement of any warranty, covenant, representation, service life policy, aircraft
performance guarantee, indemnity or product support agreement thereunder or the enforcement or exercise of any right or power under the Purchase Agreement or hereunder (a “Manufacturer Payment”), will be payable and applicable
directly to the Assignee. 
  
 Section 6. Certain
Rights and Obligations of the Parties. 
  
 (a) Assignee confirms for the benefit of the Manufacturer and subcontractor and vendor, as the case may be, that, insofar as the provisions of the Purchase Agreement (and applicable vendor and subcontractor agreements) relate to the
Aircraft, in exercising any rights under the Purchase Agreement (and applicable vendor and subcontractor agreements), or in making any claim with respect to the Aircraft or other goods and services delivered or to be delivered pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement (and applicable vendor and subcontractor agreements), the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement (and applicable vendor and subcontractor agreements) (including, without limitation, the DISCLAIMER AND RELEASE and EXCLUSION
OF LIABILITIES in Article 11 of Part 2 of Exhibit C of the Aircraft General Terms Agreement, and other warranty disclaimer, insurance and indemnity provisions in the Customer Support or Product Assurance Documents of Exhibits B and C to the Aircraft
General Terms Agreement (and such similar provisions in the applicable Vendor and subcontractor agreements)) shall apply to, and be binding upon, Assignee to the same extent as if originally named “Customer” therein. 
  

 EXHIBIT C 
 Page 15 









 [Credit Agreement HSH/AS B737-800] 
  

 Assignee further confirms that it cannot further assign its rights under the Purchase Agreement
without the written consent of Manufacturer and Assignor. 
  
 (b) Nothing contained herein shall: 
  
 (i) subject the Manufacturer or subcontractors and vendors, as the case may be, to any liability to which it would not otherwise be subject under the Purchase Agreement (and applicable vendor and subcontractor
agreements), or 
  
 (ii) modify in any respect
the Manufacturer’s (or subcontractor’s and vendor’s, as the case may be) contract rights thereunder. 
  
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Assignment shall require Manufacturer (or subcontractors and vendors, as the
case may be) to transfer title to or possession of the Aircraft or any other goods, property or services under the Purchase Agreement (and applicable vendor and subcontractor agreements) until delivery thereof and payment therefor pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (and applicable vendor and subcontractor agreements). 
  
 (c) Insofar as this Agreement purports to assign vendor and subcontractor agreements and to bind vendors and subcontractors, Assignee
agrees that such assignments and binding are subject to the terms and conditions of such vendor and subcontractor agreements and any provision of this Agreement that would violate any such agreement shall be considered void to the extent relating to
such agreement, and neither Assignor nor any other person has made any representations as to the assignability of such agreements or the binding effect of this Agreement on such vendors and subcontractors. For the avoidance of doubt, Assignee
acknowledges that the Manufacturer makes no representations or warranties about, and does not consent to, the assignment of engine warranties or warranties, if any, provided by any vendor or subcontractor suppliers of parts or equipment installed on
the Aircraft. 
  
 (d) Assignor and Assignee
agree, expressly for the benefit of Manufacturer, that for all purposes of this Assignment, Manufacturer shall not be deemed to have knowledge of and need not recognize any event, condition, right, remedy or dispute affecting the interests of
Assignor or Assignee unless and until Manufacturer shall have received written notice thereof addressed to its Vice President-Contracts at Boeing Commercial Airplanes, P.O. Box 3707, Mail Code 21-34, Seattle, Washington 98124, if by mail, or to
(425) 234-1706 if by fax, and in acting in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and this Assignment, Manufacturer may conclusively rely upon such notice. 
  

Section 7. Further Assurances. Assignor agrees that at any time and from time to time Assignor shall promptly and duly execute and
deliver any and all such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Assignee may reasonably request in writing in order to obtain the full benefits of this Assignment and of the rights and powers herein granted; provided
however, that the execution and delivery of any such instrument or document shall not in any way limit or restrict the rights or enlarge the obligations of Assignor in respect of any of the Operative Documents. 
  

 EXHIBIT C

Manufacturer, that they will not disclose the terms of the Purchase Agreement to any third party, except: 
  
 (a) as required by applicable laws or governmental regulations, 
  
 (b) with the prior written consent of the Manufacturer, 
  
 (c) to the Loan Participants and to potential transferees
thereof permitted by the Credit Agreement and Mortgage and their respective counsel or 
  
 (d) to bona fide potential purchasers of the Aircraft or Assignee’s interest therein permitted by the Credit Agreement or their

 Any disclosure contemplated by clause (c) or (d) of the preceding sentence shall include a requirement that the entity to whom such information is disclosed shall be subject to obligations of nondisclosure
with respect to such information substantially the same as those contained herein. 
  
 Section 9. Binding Effect. This Assignment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Assignor, Assignee and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
