herein as the “Collateral”):

 

(a)           the Airframe and the Engines, each of
which Engines is of 49,120 or more pounds of thrust or its equivalent, and in
the case of such Engines, whether or not any such Engine shall be installed in
or attached to the Airframe or any other airframe, together with all
accessories, equipment, parts and appurtenances appertaining or attached to the
Airframe (other than aircraft engines not constituting Engines) or Engines and
owned by the Company, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and all
substitutions, renewals and replacements of and additions, improvements,
accessions and accumulations to the Airframe and Engines and all records, logs,

excluding any insurance maintained by the Company and not required under the
Financing Documents;

 

(d)           all moneys and securities now or
hereafter paid or deposited or required to be paid or deposited to or with the
Administrative Agent in pledge hereunder and held or required to be held by the
Administrative Agent hereunder;

 

(e)           any and all property that may, from
time to time hereafter, in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage, by
delivery or by Mortgage Supplement or by other writing of any kind, for the
purposes hereof be in any way subjected to the lien and security interest
hereof or be expressly conveyed, mortgaged, assigned, transferred, deposited,
in which a security interest may be granted by the Company and/or pledged by the
Company, or by any Person authorized to so do on its behalf or with its
consent, to and with the Administrative Agent hereunder, who is hereby
authorized to receive the same at any and all times as and for additional
security hereunder; and

 

(f)            all proceeds of the foregoing;

 

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1, so
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) the
Company shall have the right, to the exclusion of the Administrative Agent, to
quiet enjoyment of the Airframe, Engines and Documents and to possess, use,
retain and control (including entering into Leases and Wet Leases with respect
to) the Airframe, Engines and Documents and all revenues, income and profits
derived therefrom subject to the terms of the Financing Documents, and (ii) the
Administrative Agent, shall not, through its own actions or inactions, nor
shall it permit any person lawfully claiming by or through it, including,
without limitation, any Secured Party to interfere with, or suffer to exist
with respect to the Aircraft any Lien attributable to the Administrative Agent
or any such person that might interfere with,

 

2

 

the Company’s (or any
Lessee’s) continued possession, use and operation of, and quiet enjoyment
(including, without limitation, administrative quiet enjoyment) of, the
Aircraft, Engines and Documents during the term of this Mortgage in accordance
with the terms of the Financing Documents so long as no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing.  In view
of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Company hereby waives the
provisions of Article XVI(1)(a) of the Protocol.

 

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the
Collateral unto the Administrative Agent, its permitted successors and assigns,
forever, upon the terms herein set forth, in trust for the benefit, security
and protection of the Secured Parties, without any priority of any Loan, Note
or Obligation over any other except as may be separately agreed among the
Secured Parties and such other secured parties or as provided herein, and for
the uses and purposes and subject to the terms and provisions set forth in this
Mortgage.

 

It is expressly agreed that
anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall
remain liable under each of the Financing Documents to which it is a party to
perform all of the obligations assumed by it thereunder, all in accordance with
and pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof, and neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or
liability under any of the Financing Documents to which the Company is a party
by reason of or arising out of the assignment hereunder, nor shall the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party be required or obligated in any
manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of the Company under any of the
Financing Documents to which the Company is a party, or, except as herein
expressly provided, to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the
nature or sufficiency 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 that
may have been assigned to it or to which it may entitled at any time or times.

 

The Company does hereby
irrevocably constitute and appoint the Administrative Agent the true and lawful
attorney of the Company (which appointment is coupled with an interest) with
full power (in the name of the Company or otherwise) to ask, require, demand,
receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for
moneys (in each case including insurance and requisition proceeds) and all
other property that now or hereafter constitutes part of the Collateral, to
endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and
to file any claims or to take any action or to institute any proceeding that
the Administrative Agent may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises;
provided that the Administrative
Agent shall not exercise any such rights except upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default.

 

The Company agrees that at
any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Administrative
Agent, the Company will promptly and duly execute and deliver or cause to be
duly executed and delivered any and all such further instruments and documents
as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to obtain the full benefits
of the assignment hereunder and of the rights and powers herein granted.

 

The Company does hereby
warrant and represent that it has not assigned or pledged (except any
assignment or pledge that has been terminated on or prior to the date hereof)
and hereby covenants that it will not assign or pledge, so long as the assignment
hereunder shall remain in effect, any of its right, title or interest hereby
assigned, to anyone other than the Administrative Agent except to the extent
permitted by the Term Loan Agreement.

 

Section 2.2.            Exclusion for Certain Inflight
Equipment.

 

The Administrative Agent
acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein
set forth, the Company may at any time during the term of this Mortgage install
a

 

3

 

telephone system and/or an
inflight entertainment system for passenger use on any Aircraft (collectively,
the “Inflight Equipment”) provided that in the case of Inflight
Equipment which is owned by a third party and leased to the Company:

 

(a)           the owner or financier of the Inflight
Equipment will have no Lien on or against such Aircraft and no rights with
respect to such Aircraft except the right to remove the Inflight Equipment from
such Aircraft if such owner, financier or the Company repairs and restores such
Aircraft as provided below;

 

(b)           such right of installation and removal
is subject to and conditional upon any such owner or financier repairing any
damage to the Aircraft in connection therewith and paying (and holding the
Agents and the other Secured Parties harmless with respect to) all costs,
expenses and liabilities in connection therewith; and

 

(c)           prior to the installation of any such
Inflight Equipment, the Company shall provide the Administrative Agent with the
identity and notice particulars of the owner or financier of such Inflight
Equipment. The Administrative Agent acknowledges that, whether or not the
requirements of this Section 2.2 are satisfied in full, at all times (i) the
leased Inflight Equipment will not constitute a Part or a part of such Aircraft,
and (ii) the leased Inflight Equipment will not become subject to the Lien
of this Mortgage.

 

ARTICLE
III

 

COVENANTS
OF THE COMPANY

 

Section 3.1.            [Intentionally left blank].

 

Section 3.2.            Lease.  Lessee agrees that it shall cause any Lease
or Wet Lease of more than six (6) months duration (or, if an Event of
Default is continuing, any Lease or Wet Lease regardless of its duration) to be
assigned to Administrative Agent at the time such Lease or Wet Lease is entered
into pursuant to a Lease Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit B
hereto with such changes as may be requested by Company, the consent of
Administrative Agent not to be unreasonably withheld, at least ten (10) days
before the intended date of execution thereof. 
In connection therewith the Company shall cause (subject to the consent
of the Administrative Agent) an Assignment of such Lease or Wet Lease to be
registered with the International Registry, and in addition shall take such
additional actions as are required under Section 5.18 of the Term Loan
Agreement.

 

Section 3.3.            Identification of Security
Interest; Filings.

 

(a)           As soon as practicable after the date
hereof but no later than 60 days after the Closing Date, the Company agrees to
affix and maintain (or cause to be affixed and maintained), at its expense, in
the cockpit of the Airframe adjacent to the airworthiness certificate therein
and on each Engine a nameplate bearing the inscription:

 

“SUBJECT TO A MORTGAGE AND
SECURITY AGREEMENT IN FAVOR OF JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., AS ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT”

 

(such nameplate to be
replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of any successor
Administrative Agent). Except as above provided or as may be required by Law,
the Company will not allow the name of any Person (other than the Company) to
be placed on the Airframe or on any Engine as

 

4

 

a designation that might be
interpreted as a claim of security interest or ownership and will remove any
such existing designation no later than the time such nameplate is affixed; provided that nothing herein contained
shall prohibit the Company (or any Lessee) from placing its customary colors
and insignia on the Airframe or any Engine.

 

(b)           The Company will take, or cause to be taken,
at the Company’s cost and expense, such action with respect to the recording,
filing, re-recording and re-filing of this Mortgage, each Mortgage Supplement
and each Lease Assignment, and any financing statements or other instruments as
are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to maintain, so long as
this Mortgage is in effect, the perfection of the Lien created by this Mortgage
and the other Collateral Documents, or at the request of the Administrative
Agent, will furnish to the Administrative Agent such instruments, in execution
form, and such other information as may be reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent to enable the Administrative Agent to take such action.

 

ARTICLE
IV

 

REMEDIES
OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

UPON
AN EVENT OF DEFAULT

 

Section 4.1.            Event of Default.  For purposes of the Cape Town Convention, a
“default” means any Event of Default.

 

Section 4.2.            Remedies with Respect to
Collateral.

 

(a)           Remedies Available.

 

Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be
continuing, this Mortgage shall be in default and the Administrative Agent (in
accordance with the provisions of Article 5) may, and upon the written
instructions of the Required Lenders shall, do one or more of the following:

 

(A)          cause the Company, upon the written
demand of the  Administrative Agent, at the Company’s
expense, to deliver promptly, and the Company shall deliver promptly, all or
such part of the Airframe or any Engine or other Collateral as the
Administrative Agent may so demand to the Administrative Agent or its order, or
the Administrative Agent, at its option, may enter upon the premises where all
or any part of the Airframe or any Engine or other Collateral are located and
take immediate possession (to the exclusion of the Company and all Persons
claiming under or through the Company) of and remove the same by summary
proceedings or otherwise together with any engine that is not an Engine but
which is installed on the Airframe, subject to all of the rights of the owner,
lessor, lienor or secured party of such engine; provided that such engine shall be held for the account of
any such owner, lessor, lienor or secured party or, if owned by the Company,
may at the option of the Administrative Agent, be exchanged with the Company
for an Engine;  

 

(B)           sell all or any
part of the Airframe and any Engine or other Collateral at public or private
sale, whether or not the Administrative Agent shall at the time have possession
thereof, as the Administrative Agent may determine, or lease or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of the Airframe or such Engine or

 

5

 

other Collateral as the
Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine, all free and clear
of any rights or claims of whatsoever kind of the Company, provided the same is
conducted in accordance with applicable law; or

 

(C)           exercise any or
all of the rights and powers and pursue any and all remedies of a secured party
under applicable law, including, without limitation, the Uniform Commercial
Code of the State of New York.

 

Upon every taking of
possession of Collateral under this Section 4.2, the Administrative Agent
may, from time to time, at the expense of the Administrative Agent, make all
such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements,
alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral, as it may
deem proper. In each such case, the Administrative Agent shall have the right
to maintain, store, lease, control or manage the Collateral and to exercise all
rights and powers of the Company relating to the Collateral in connection
therewith, as the Administrative Agent shall deem prudent, including the right
to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance,
insurance, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the
Collateral or any part thereof as the Administrative Agent may determine; and
the Administrative 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, without prejudice, however, to the right of the
Administrative Agent under any provision of this Mortgage to collect and
receive all cash held by, or required to be deposited with, the Administrative
Agent hereunder. Such tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and
profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of storage, leasing, control,
management or disposition of the Collateral, and of all maintenance, repairs,
replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments
that the Administrative Agent may be required or may elect to make, if any, for
taxes, assessments, insurance or other proper charges upon the Collateral or any
part thereof (including the employment of engineers and accountants to examine,
inspect and make reports upon the properties and books and records of the
Company), and all other payments that the Administrative Agent may be required
or authorized to make under any provision of this Mortgage, as well as just and
reasonable compensation for the services of the Administrative Agent, and of
all Persons properly engaged and employed by the Administrative Agent.

 

In addition, the Company
shall be liable for all reasonable legal fees and other reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by reason of the occurrence of any
Event of Default or the exercise of the Administrative Agent’s remedies with
respect thereto, including all costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the retaking or return of the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with the
terms hereof or under applicable law, including, without limitation, 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 Loans shall have been accelerated
pursuant to Section 7 of the Term Loan Agreement, at the request of the
Administrative Agent the Company shall promptly execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent such instruments of title and other documents as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request to enable the Administrative Agent
or an agent or representative designated by the Administrative Agent, at such
time or times and place or places as the Administrative Agent may specify, to
obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to which the
Administrative Agent shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If the Company
shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents
after such request by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may
obtain a judgment conferring on the Administrative Agent the right to immediate
possession and requiring the Company to execute and deliver such instruments
and documents to the Administrative Agent, to the entry of which judgment the
Company hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent it may lawfully do
so.

 

6

 

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

(b)           Notice of Sale.

 

The Administrative Agent
shall give the Company at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice of the
date fixed for any public sale of the Airframe or any Engine or of the date on
or after which any private sale will be held, which notice the Company hereby
agrees is reasonable notice, and any such public sale shall be conducted in
general so as to afford the Company (and any Lessee) a reasonable opportunity
to bid.

 

(c)           Receiver.

 

If any Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing, to the extent permitted by law, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled, as a matter of right as against the
Company, without notice or demand and without regard to the adequacy of the
security for the Loans or the solvency of the Company, upon the commencement of
judicial proceedings by it to enforce any right under this Mortgage, to the
appointment of a receiver of the Collateral and of the tolls, rents, revenues,
issues, income, products and profits thereof.

 

(d)           Concerning Sales.

 

At any sale under this
Article, any Secured Party or the Administrative Agent may bid for and purchase
the property offered for sale, may make payment on account thereof as herein
provided, and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and
dispose of such property without further accountability therefor.  Any purchaser shall be entitled, for the
purpose of making payment for the property purchased, to surrender for the
cancellation, all or any part of the Loan (and any Notes evidencing the same)
in lieu of cash in the amount that shall be payable thereon as principal and/or
accrued interest.  In the event that
amounts due on any Loan exceed the amounts being surrendered as aforesaid, such
Loan shall be returned to the Secured Parties making such surrender after being
stamped or endorsed to show partial cancellation.

 

Section 4.3.            Waiver of Appraisement, etc.,
Laws.

 

To the full extent that it
may lawfully so agree, the Company agrees that it will not at any time insist
upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisement,
valuation, stay, extension, or redemption law now or hereafter in force, in
order to prevent or hinder the proper enforcement of this Mortgage or the
absolute sale of the Collateral as permitted hereunder, or any part thereof, or
the possession thereof by any purchaser at any proper sale under this Article;
but the Company, for itself and all who may claim under it, so far as it or
they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.
The Company, for itself and all who may claim under it, waives, to the extent
that it lawfully may, all right to have the property in the Collateral
marshaled upon any foreclosure hereof, and agrees that any court having
jurisdiction to foreclosure this Mortgage may order the sale of the Collateral
as an entirety.

 

Section 4.4.            Remedies Cumulative.

 

Subject to the provisions of
Section 4.6 below, each and every right, power and remedy herein

remedy herein specifically given or now or

hereafter existing in the
Financing Documents or at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right,
power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be
exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed
expedient by the Administrative Agent, and the exercise or the beginning of the
exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the
right to exercise at the time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy.
No delay or omission by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of any right,
remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right,
power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of
the Company or to be an acquiescence therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall be deemed to permit duplicative recovery by Administrative
Agent or any Secured Party of any amount due and owing to it hereunder or under
any other Financing Document.

 

Section 4.5.            Discontinuance of Proceedings.

 

If the Administrative Agent
shall have proceeded 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, then and in every such case the
Company and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder with respect to the property, subject to the
Lien of this Mortgage, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
Administrative Agent shall continue, as if no such proceedings had been
undertaken (but otherwise without prejudice).

 

Section 4.6.            Concerning the Cape Town
Convention.

 

Without limiting the
foregoing, the parties agree that (x) in addition to the remedies set
forth in this Article IV or otherwise available to Administrative Agent
under this Mortgage and the other Financing Documents, at law or in equity,
upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the
Administrative 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
(without prejudice to the applicability of other applicable law), and (b) 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 this clause (b) 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
Financing Documents 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 Administrative Agent may elect under which of the
foregoing it shall exercise such remedy.

refrain from taking such action, with respect to an Event of Default (including
with respect to the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Collateral
Documents) as it may deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders or as
shall be instructed in writing by the Required Lenders. The Administrative
Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, take such action, or refrain from

for believing that repayment of any funds expended by it or adequate
indemnification against any risks incurred in connection therewith is not
reasonably assured to it. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to
take any action under Section 5.1 or Article 4, nor shall any other
provision of any Collateral Document be deemed to impose a duty on the
Administrative Agent to take any action, if the Administrative Agent shall have
been advised in writing by independent counsel that such action is contrary to
the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to law.

store, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the
Collateral, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in
connection with, any Collateral Document, except as expressly provided by the
terms thereof; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into any
Collateral Document against the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take
such action as may be necessary duly to discharge any Liens on any part of the
Collateral, or on any properties of the Company assigned, pledged or mortgaged
under the Collateral Documents, that result from claims against the
Administrative Agent in its individual capacity not related to the
administration of such properties or any other transaction under this Mortgage
or any document included in the Collateral.

 

Section 5.5.            No Action Except Under Collateral
Documents or Instructions.

 

The Administrative Agent
agrees that it will not manage, control, use, sell, operate, store, dispose of
or otherwise deal with the Aircraft or other property constituting part of the
Collateral or subject to any Lease Assignment except (i) in accordance
with the powers granted to, or the authority conferred upon, the Administrative
Agent pursuant to the applicable Collateral Documents, or (ii) in
accordance with the express terms hereof.

representative.

 

Section 8.3.            No Legal Title to Collateral in
Lender or Holder.

 

No Lender or Holder shall
have legal title to any part of the Collateral. No transfer, by operation of
law or otherwise, of its Loan or Note or other right, title and interest of a

and the Company, and shall be effective to transfer or convey all right, title

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
the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Company of any right it
may have against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party as a
result of any sale or other conveyance in contravention of the terms and
conditions of this Mortgage.

 

12

effected in the manner provided for in Section 8.2 of the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement.

 

Section 8.8.            Severability.

 

Should any one or more
provisions of this Mortgage be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by a
court of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of
such illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provisions in any other jurisdiction. The Company and the Administrative Agent
agree, as to such jurisdiction and to the extent permitted by such jurisdiction’s
laws, to replace any provision of this Mortgage that is so determined to be
illegal or unenforceable by a valid provision that has as nearly as possible
the same effect; provided that
such replacement provision shall not expand the Company’s or the Administrative
Agent’s obligations hereunder.

 

Section 8.9.            No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

 

No failure on the part of
the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to,
and no delay in exercising, any remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent
of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

 

Section 8.10.          Separate Counterparts.

 

This Mortgage may be
executed in any number of counterparts (and each of the parties hereto shall

herein provided. Any request, notice, direction, consent, waiver or other instrument
or action by a Secured Party (unless withdrawn by

 

13

 

such Secured Party or
successor or assign prior to it being acted upon by the Administrative Agent)
shall bind the successors and assigns of such Secured Party.
