    SECTION
2.1.   Term Loan Commitment;
Borrowing Base.

     

    (a) Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender, severally and not
jointly, agrees to make the Term Loan to the Borrowers on the Effective Date, in
a principal amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term Loan
Commitment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate principal
amount of Term Loan outstanding at any time (the “Outstanding Term
Loan”) shall not exceed the lesser of (“Maximum
Availability”):

     

    (i) the total
amount of the Lenders’ Term Loan Commitments as reduced from time to time as a
result of payments required to be made in accordance with Sections 2.8 and
2.9
herein;  and

     

    (ii) the
Borrowing Base.

     

    (b) In the
event the Outstanding Term Loan exceeds the Maximum Availability at any time
(including, without limitation, as a result of the failure to obtain the
acknowledgment from the relevant lessor or secured party pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(iii)
or 2.01(b)(iv)
of the Security Agreement and in the defined term “Eligible Aircraft” within the
required timeframe) (a “Collateral
Shortfall”), such failure shall constitute a Default hereunder and, upon
the written notice of Administrative Agent to the Borrowers (a “Collateral Shortfall
Notice”), the Borrowers shall (a) in the event the Outstanding Term
Loan exceeds the Maximum Availability [***], within one (1) Business Day of
delivery of the Collateral Shortfall Notice, permit Administrative Agent to

discretion and acting on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, with

Locations, and (b) within [***] Business Days of delivery of the Collateral
Shortfall Notice, at the Borrowers’ election, either (i) pledge cash as
collateral (or such other Collateral acceptable to Administrative Agent in its
sole discretion).  (ii) make a prepayment of the Term Loan in an
amount to be in compliance with the Maximum Availability calculation or (iii) do
a combination of (i) and (ii) in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the
Collateral Shortfall.  Any amount paid in connection with curing any
such Collateral Shortfall may not be re-borrowed by the Borrowers in connection
with the Term Loan.  If the Borrowers fail to cure any Collateral
Shortfall within [***] Business Days of delivery of the Collateral Shortfall
Notice, or if the Borrowers do not cooperate with Administrative Agent to ensure
the safekeeping of all Collateral and take all steps necessary and legally
permissible to allow the posting of guards at all Storage Locations, such
failure shall constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder (each, a “Collateral Shortfall
Default”) without further notice by Administrative Agent or any
Lender.

     

    SECTION
2.2.   Loans and
Borrowings.

     

    (a) General.  The

any Term Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of
its obligations hereunder; provided that the
Term Loan Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be
responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Term Loans as
required.

     

    (b) Type.  Subject
to Section 2.6 and
Section 2.11,
the Term Loan shall be comprised entirely of ABR Borrowings or Eurodollar
Borrowings as the Borrower Representative may request in accordance
herewith.  Each Lender at its option may make its portion of the Term
Loan Commitment for a Eurodollar Borrowing by causing any domestic or foreign
branch or Affiliate of such Lender to provide for such Eurodollar Borrowing;
provided that
any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to
repay the Term Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     

    (c) Amounts.  At
the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such
borrowing shall be in a minimum amount of [***] and in an aggregate amount in
excess of such minimum amount that is an integral multiple of
[***].  At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such borrowing
shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of [***] and not
less than [***] or the remaining amount of the Term Loan.  Borrowings
of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there
shall not at any time be more than a total of [***] Borrowings
outstanding.

     

    (d) Limitations.  Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower Representative shall not be
entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Eurodollar
Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after

portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be

an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative shall notify
the Administrative Agent of such election in writing or by facsimile
transmission or by telephone (promptly confirmed by facsimile) three (3)
Business Days prior to the desired effective date of such
election.  Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be
irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the

    (iii) if a
Eurodollar Borrowing is elected, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto
after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by
the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

     

    If any
such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not
specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to
have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration.

     

    (d) Promptly
following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent
shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s

Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with
respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then, unless such Eurodollar Borrowing is repaid as provided
herein at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Borrowing shall be
converted to an ABR Borrowing.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision
hereof, (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default under clause (g), clause (h) or clause (r) of Section 7.1, or
(ii) upon written notice from the Administrative Agent (or the Required
Lenders, through the Administrative Agent) upon the occurrence and continuance
of any other Event of Default, then, so long as an Event of Default is
continuing (i) no request may be made for a Eurodollar Borrowing and no
outstanding ABR Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar
Borrowing and (ii) each Eurodollar Borrowing, unless repaid as provided
herein, shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto.

(ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become
due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the
amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account
of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

     

    (d) The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of
this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the
existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the
failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or
any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers
to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     

    (e) Unless
all Lenders otherwise agree, the Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall be
evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit B (each,
a “Note”).  The
Borrowers shall execute and deliver to each Lender a Note or Notes payable to
such Lender with blanks completed to the satisfaction of such
Lender.  Each Note shall be issued in registered form and shall be
transferable only in accordance with Section 10.4(b).

     

    SECTION
2.9.   Prepayment of
Loans.

     

    (a) The
Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay the
Term Loan in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with
paragraph (b) of this Section and subject to the provisions of Section 2.14 below in
an amount of [***] or any integral of [***] in excess thereof, or the full
amount of the Term Loan.

     

    (b) The
Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone
(promptly confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the
case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New
York City time three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment or
(ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00
noon, New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of
prepayment.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify
the prepayment date and the principal amount of the Term Loan or portion thereof
to be prepaid.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating
to the Term Loan, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders
of the contents thereof.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued
interest to the extent required by Section 2.11.

     

    (c) Within
[***] of the sale or other disposition of any Collateral permitted by Sections 6.13(ii) or
(iii) hereof
which result in proceeds therefrom received subsequent to the Effective Date,
the Borrowers shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal
to [***] of the net proceeds received (after providing for the reasonable costs
and expenses incurred in connection with such sales or dispositions and any
Taxes payable in connection therewith), any prepayment to be applied in
accordance with subparagraph (e) below.

     

    (d) Upon the
receipt of any proceeds of any insurance carried by any Borrower (including,
without limitation, those arising from an Event of Loss as defined in the
Security Agreement), to the extent payable hereunder pursuant to Article III of
the Security Agreement and after giving effect to Article III of the Security
Agreement, the Borrowers shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Loans in an
amount equal to [***] of the remaining proceeds received, any prepayment to be
applied in accordance with subparagraph (e) below.

     

    (e) Each
prepayment of Loans required by subsections (c) and (d) of this
Section shall be made ratably among the Lenders and such prepayments shall
be made with respect to such Type of Loans as the Borrower Representative may
specify by notice to the Administrative Agent at or before the time of such
prepayment and shall be applied to prepay the Term Loan comprising each such
Type pro rata; provided that, if no
such timely specification is given by the Borrower Representative, such payment
shall be allocated to such Type or Types as the Administrative Agent may
determine but in any event shall be applied pro rata to all remaining payments
of principal required by Section 2.8(a). The Term Loan Commitment
shall be permanently reduced ratably among the Term Loan Commitments of the
Lenders to the extent of all additional proceeds in accordance with Sections 2.9(c)
and (d).

     

    SECTION
2.10.   Fees.

     

    (a) The
Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees in
the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in the Fee Letter or
otherwise in writing among the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent.

     

    (b) All fees
payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available
funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders, as
appropriate.  Absent any error in the calculation thereof, fees paid
shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

     

    SECTION
2.11.   Interest.

     

    (a) That
portion of the Term Loan which comprises an ABR Borrowing shall bear interest
for each day on which any principal of such Loan remains outstanding at the
Alternate Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable
Rate for such day.

     

    (b) That
portion of the Term Loan which comprises a Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear
interest for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto at the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable
Rate for such day.

     

    (c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) automatically upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default under clause (g), clause (h) or
clause (r) of Section 7.1, and
(ii) upon written notice from the Administrative Agent (or the Required
Lenders, through the Administrative Agent) upon the occurrence and continuance
of any other Event of Default, (i) the Loans shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to [***].

     

    (d)           Accrued
interest on the Term Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date and on the Term Loan Maturity Date; provided that
(i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall
be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid
shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in
the event of any conversion of a Eurodollar Borrowing  prior to the
end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Eurodollar
Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such
conversion.

     

    (e)           All
interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except
that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the
Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of
a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).  The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted
LIBOR Rate or LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and
such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     

    SECTION
2.12.   Alternate Rate of
Interest.  If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period
for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

     

    (a) the
Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable business judgment (which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, for such
Interest Period; or

     

    (b) the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (other than CIT Bank or
any Affiliate thereof) that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, for such Interest Period
will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or
maintaining the Term Loan for such Interest Period;

     

    then the
Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative
and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy, as promptly as practicable thereafter
and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that
the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any
Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of the Term Loan to, or
continuation of the Term Loan as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective
and (ii) if any Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing,
the Term Loan shall be treated as an ABR Borrowing.

     

    SECTION
2.13.   Increased
Costs.

     

    (a) If any
Change in Law shall:

     

    (i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets or deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR
Rate); or

     

    (ii) impose on
any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this
Agreement or Eurodollar Borrowing made by such Lender;

     

    and the
result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of
making or maintaining such Eurodollar Borrowing (or of maintaining its
obligation to make the Eurodollar Borrowing) or to reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest
or otherwise with respect to such Eurodollar Borrowing), then the Borrowers will
pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

     

    (b) If any
Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or
on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such
Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change
in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of
such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time
to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such
reduction suffered.

     

    (c) A
certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days
after receipt thereof.

     

    (d) Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such
compensation; provided that the
Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one
hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the
Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended
to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

     

    SECTION
2.14.   Break Funding
Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Borrowing other than on the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default),
(b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Borrowing other than on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (c) the failure to borrow,
convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Borrowing on the date specified in
any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be
revoked under Section 2.9(b)
and is revoked in accordance therewith), then, in any such event, the Borrowers
shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such
event.  In the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, such loss, cost or
expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include, without limitation,
(a) an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of
(i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount
of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate that would
have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to
the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a
failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the
Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which
would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which
such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for
dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the
eurodollar market and (b) any other loss in connection with the
re-employment of such funds) that any Lender may sustain as a result of such
default or such payment.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth in
reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive
pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrowers shall pay such Lender
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days
after receipt thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers
shall not be required to make any prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant
to Sections 2.9(c)
and (d) until
the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto so long as an amount
equal to such prepayment is deposited by the Borrowers into a cash collateral
account with the Administrative Agent and applied to such prepayment on the last
day of such Interest Period.

     

    SECTION
2.15.   Taxes.

     

    (a) Payments Free of
Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of the Borrowers hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the
Borrowers shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from
such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so
that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and
(iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

     

    (b) Payment of Other Taxes by
the Borrower.  In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other
Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
law.

     

    (c) Indemnification by the
Borrowers.  The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor,
for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender on or with respect to any payment by or on
account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (including any taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority
provided that the Borrower shall be assigned the right to seek reimbursement
from such Governmental Authority, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense and so
long as there is no unindemnified adverse consequence to the Administrative
Agent or Lenders.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender, or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

     

    (d) Evidence of
Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority,
the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the
original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other
evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent.

     

    (e) Status of
Lenders.  Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption
from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which
the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party,
with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower
Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower
Representative as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at
a reduced rate.

     

    Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is
resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender
shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which
such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, but
only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the
following is applicable:

     

    (i) duly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility
for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a
party,

     

    (ii) duly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

     

    (iii) in the
case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio
interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the
effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the
Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code
and (y) duly completed copies of  Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN, or

     

    (iv) any other
form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with
such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to
permit the Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be
made.

     

    (f) Treatment of Certain
Refunds.  If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines,
in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to
which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it
shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 2.15
with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund); provided, that the
Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees
to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or
such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority.  This Section shall not be construed to require the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or other
information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers
or any other Person.

     

    SECTION
2.16.   Payments Generally; Pro Rata
Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

     

    (a) The
Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether
of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.13,
2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise)
prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately
available funds and shall be absolute and unconditional, without defense,
rescission, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or
condition.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in
the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on
the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest
thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent
at its offices at 11 West 42nd Street, 12th Floor, New York, New York 10036,
except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.13,
2.14, 2.15 and 9.3 shall be made
directly to the Persons entitled thereto.  The Administrative Agent
shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other
Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt
thereof.  If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a
Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest
thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension; provided that, in the
case of any prepayment of principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Borrowing,
if such next succeeding Business Day would fall in the next calendar month, the
date for payment shall instead be the next preceding Business
Day.  All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

     

    (b) If at any
time insufficient funds are received by and are available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due
hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of
interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto
in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties,
and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal
then due to such parties.

     

    (c) If any
Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans
resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion
received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion
shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other
Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall
be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of
principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded
and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed
to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with
the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph
shall apply).  Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to
the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender
acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower
in the amount of such participation.

     

    (d) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers
will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the
Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount
due.  In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such
payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

     

    (e) If any
Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.16(c),
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully
paid.  Until such Lender’s unsatisfied obligations are fully paid,
such Lender shall be excluded from any determination of Required Lenders under
this Agreement.

     

    SECTION
2.17.   Mitigation
Obligations.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or
if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15,
then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in
the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or
2.15, as the
case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender.  The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment.

     

    SECTION
2.18.   Replacement of
Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or
if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or
if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or if any
Lender fails to approve an amendment or waiver to this Agreement for which its
consent has been requested and is required pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, which amendment or waiver is approved by the Required Lenders, then
the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender
and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate,
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in Section 9.4),
all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee
that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a
Lender accepts such assignment); provided that
(i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld,
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of
such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in
the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or
payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15,
such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment
and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply.

     

    ARTICLE III                                

     

    

     

    REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES

     

    Each
Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

     

    SECTION
3.1.   Existence and
Power.  Each of the Loan Parties and its Subsidiaries is duly
organized or incorporated, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation, as
applicable, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as
now conducted and is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in,
every jurisdiction where such qualification is required and where the failure to
be so qualified would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     

    SECTION
3.2.   Corporate and Governmental
Authorization; No Contravention.  The execution, delivery and
performance by each Loan Party of the Financing Documents to which it is a party
are (i) within its corporate or other organizational powers, (ii) have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, (iii)
require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental
Authority (except as contemplated by the Security Agreement) and (iv) do not
contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or
regulation or of its charter or bylaws, as applicable, or other constitutive
documents or of any material agreement, or any judgment, injunction, order,
decree or other instrument binding upon any Loan Party or result in the creation
or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Loan Parties (except the Security
Interests).

     

    SECTION
3.3.   Binding
Effect.  This Agreement and the other Financing Documents to
which it is a party constitute valid and binding agreements of each Loan Party,
in each case enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as
the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or moratorium or other similar laws relating to the enforcement
of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

     

    SECTION
3.4.   Financial
Information.

     

    (a) The
opening balance sheet of Holdings as of March 31, 2009, prepared by its
management, a copy of which has been delivered to each of the Lenders, fairly
presents, in conformity with GAAP, the financial position of the Loan Parties as
of such date.  The Borrower Representative has heretofore furnished to
the Administrative Agent (i) audited financial statements for the fiscal years
ending 2006, 2007 and 2008 for Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis, (ii) unaudited financial statements for each quarterly period ending
after December 31, 2008 for Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis, and (iii) monthly unaudited internal financial statements from March 31,
2009 through the Effective Date for Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis.  Such financial statements present fairly in all
material respects the financial condition and results of operations of the Loan

evidencing Administrative Agent’s security interest have been made (or will be
made prior to the date of any advance with respect to such Collateral) in all

into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by
Holdings and its Subsidiaries and projected capital requirements and capital
availability thereof.

taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred, could reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

     

    (l) a Change
in Control shall occur;

     

    (m) any of
the Financing Documents shall for any reason cease to be, or shall be asserted
by any Person obligated thereunder not to be, a legal, valid and binding

such Person of an amendment or termination statement relating to a filed
financing statement describing the Collateral that names the Administrative
Agent as secured party, or any Lien on any material portion of the Collateral
purported to be created by any of such Financing Documents shall for any reason
cease to be, or be asserted by any Person granting any such Lien not to be a
valid, first priority perfected Lien (except to the extent otherwise permitted
under any of the Financing Documents);

     

    (n) any
material damage to, or loss, theft or destruction of, any material Collateral,
whether or not insured, or any strike, lockout, labor dispute, embargo,

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on a material portion
of the Collateral;

     

    (o) any
Financing Document shall at any time for any reason cease to be in full force
and effect (other than in accordance with the terms hereof or the terms of any
other Financing Document), as applicable, or the validity, binding effect or
enforceability thereof shall be contested by any Loan Party (other than any
Lender or Administrative Agent), or any Loan Party shall deny that it has any or
further liability or obligation under any Financing Document, or any such
Financing Document shall be, or shall be deemed, terminated (other than in
accordance with the terms thereof or the terms of any other Financing Document),
invalidated, revoked or set aside or in any way cease to give or provide to the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent the benefits purported to be created
thereby;

     

    (p) any
Borrower or their Subsidiaries shall receive notice that a Material Contract
shall be terminated, cancelled or modified in a manner that is materially
adverse to such Borrower or Subsidiary, or the occurrence of any termination,
cancellation or materially adverse modification of a Material Contract if no
notice is given; provided, however, if Borrower
receives notice of a materially adverse modification or a materially adverse
modification occurs, such Borrower or Subsidiary shall have thirty (30)
days to replace such Material Contract on the same or better terms before such
modification gives rise to an Event of Default;

     

    (q) the
occurrence of a Collateral Shortfall Default; or

     

    (r) either
Borrower ceases to be a Certificated Air Carrier (as defined in the Security
Agreement),

     

    then, and
in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described
in clause (g) or (h) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during
the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request
of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any one or more
of the following actions, at the same or different
times:  (i) terminate the Term Loan Commitment, and thereupon the
Term Loan Commitment shall terminate immediately, (ii) declare the Loans
then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any
principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be
due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due
and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other
obligations of the Loan Parties accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable
immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower,  or
(iii) exercise any other rights or remedies available under the Financing
Documents, the UCC or other applicable law; and in case of any event with
respect to the Loan Parties described in clause (g), (h) or (r) of this
Article, the Term Loan Commitment shall automatically terminate and the
principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon
and all fees and other Obligations of the Loan Parties accrued hereunder, shall
automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or
other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Loan
Parties.

     

    SECTION
7.2.   Application of
Proceeds.

     

    (a) All
Proceeds collected by the Administrative Agent upon any sale, other disposition
of or realization upon any of the Collateral, together with any offsets,
voluntary payments by any Borrower or others and any other sums received or
collected in respect of the Obligations received by the Administrative Agent,
shall be applied as follows:

     

    FIRST, to
the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with
this Agreement, the Financing Documents or any of the Obligations, including,
but not limited to, those under Section 4.02 of
the Security Agreement, all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of
its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents on
behalf of the Borrowers and any other reasonable costs or expenses incurred in
connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder;

     

    SECOND,
pro rata to the payment in full of principal and interest in respect of any
Loans outstanding (pro rata as among the Lenders in accordance with the amounts
of the Loans made by them pursuant to this Agreement);

     

    THIRD,
pro rata to the payment in full of all Obligations (other than those referred to
above) owed to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders (pro rata as among
the Lenders in accordance with the amount of the Obligations owed to them on the
date of any such distribution);

     

    FOURTH,
to the Borrowers or such other party entitled thereto, as the case may be, or
their successors and assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
otherwise direct.

     

    (b) Each
Borrower shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount
of all Proceeds realized upon sale, other disposition or collection of the
Collateral, and monies held as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and the
aggregate amount of unpaid Obligations.  Upon any sale of any
Collateral by the Administrative Agent (whether by virtue of the power of sale
granted under the Financing Documents, pursuant to judicial proceeding, or
otherwise), the receipt by the Administrative Agent or the officer making the
sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the
Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to
see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the
Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the
misapplication thereof.

     

    SECTION
7.3.   Collateral
Accounts.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to cause to be
established and maintained, at its principal office or such other location or
locations as it may establish from time to time in its discretion, one or more
accounts (collectively, “Collateral Accounts”)
for the collection of cash Proceeds of Collateral.  Such Proceeds,
when deposited, shall continue to constitute Collateral for the Obligations and
shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as herein
provided.  The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and
control over all funds deposited in any Collateral Accounts, and such funds may
be withdrawn therefrom only by the Administrative Agent.  Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative
Agent shall have the right to (and, if directed by the Required Lenders pursuant
to this Agreement, shall) apply amounts held in the Collateral Accounts in
payment of the Obligations in the manner provided for in Section 7.2
above.

     

    ARTICLE VIII    

     

     

    THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT

     

    Each of
the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent
both as administrative agent and collateral agent and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and the
other Financing Documents, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto.

     

    The
Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other
Financing Documents shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a
Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan
Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder.

     

    The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein or in the other Financing
Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other
implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,
(b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or thereby that the
Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders
(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under
the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2),
and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for any failure to
disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of their
Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 10.2) or
in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice
thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative or a
Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any
duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in
connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein,
(iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or
elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to
be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

     

    The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.  The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by
telephone in accordance with Section 2.6 and
believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon.  The Administrative Agent may consult
with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any of the Lenders), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants or experts.

     

    The
Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its
rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent
may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through
their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the
preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to
their activities as Administrative Agent.

     

    With
respect to the release of Collateral, the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize
the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any
Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any property covered by
this Agreement or the other Financing Documents (i) upon termination or
expiration of the Commitments, the payment and satisfaction of all Obligations
arising with respect to the Loans (including, without limitation, all fees and
expenses payable hereunder and under the other Financing Documents), or
(ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of in compliance with the
provisions of the Financing Documents (and the Administrative Agent may rely in
good faith conclusively on any certificate stating that the property is being
sold or disposed of in compliance with the provisions of the Financing
Documents, without further inquiry); provided, however, that
(x) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any release
on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the
Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any
consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty,
and (y) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair
any Liens upon all interests retained, all of which shall continue to constitute
part of the Collateral covered by the Financing Documents.

     

    With
respect to perfecting security interests in Collateral which, in accordance with
Article 9
of the Uniform Commercial Code or any comparable provision of any Lien
perfection statute in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected only by
possession, each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender its agent for the
purpose of perfecting such interest.  Should any Lender (other than
the Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender
shall notify the Administrative Agent, and, promptly upon the Administrative
Agent’s request, shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or in
accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.  Each Lender
agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to
enforce this Agreement or any other Financing Document or to realize upon any
Collateral for the Loans, it being understood and agreed that such rights and
remedies may be exercised only by or with the approval of the Administrative
Agent.

     

    In the
event that a petition seeking relief under Title 11 of the United States Code or
any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or
similar law is filed by or against any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent is
authorized, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, but shall not be
required, to file a proof of claim on behalf of itself, the Lenders in such
proceeding for the total amount of Obligations owed by such
Person.  With respect to any such proof of claim which the
Administrative Agent may file, each Lender acknowledges that without reliance on
such proof of claim, such Lender shall make its own evaluation as to whether an
individual proof of claim must be filed in respect of such Obligations owed to
such Lender and, if so, take the steps necessary to prepare and timely file such
individual claim.

     

    Subject
to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as
provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by
notifying the Lenders and the Borrower Representative.  Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the approval of the
Borrower Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, except that no such
approval shall be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default), to appoint a successor.  If no successor shall have
been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent
gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on
behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be
a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank
with such an office.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  The fees
payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same
as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower
Representative and such successor.  After the Administrative Agent’s
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.3
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as
Administrative Agent.

     

    Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent
or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from
time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or
not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or
any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.  Each Lender
acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of each other Lender as a result
of Lenders holding disproportionate interests in the Loans, and expressly
consents to and waives any claim based upon such conflict of
interest.

     

    Each
Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to release Liens on any Collateral
sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Loan Party as permitted by
this Agreement or the Security Agreement to the extent all conditions set forth
herein and therein are satisfied.

    SECTION
10.2.   Waivers;
Amendments.

     

    (a) No
failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any
right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
power.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of
this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be
construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether
the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default or Event of Default at the time.

     

    (b) Neither
this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any provision of any other Financing
Document may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by the Loan Parties and the Required Lenders
or by the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the
Required Lenders; provided that no such
agreement shall (i) increase the Term Loan Commitment of any Lender without
the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of the
Term Loan or Note or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees
payable to or for the account of Lenders hereunder, without the written consent
of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone the Term Loan
Maturity Date or the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any
Loan (other than pursuant to Section 2.9(d)
or (e) hereof),
or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of,
waive or excuse any such payment without the written consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.16(b)
or 2.16(c) in a
manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby,
without the written consent of each Lender, (v) release all or a material
portion of the Collateral (except following termination of the Term Loan
Commitment and payment in full of all Obligations then outstanding or make
overadvances (other than for the purpose of preserving Collateral),
(vi) except as provided herein or in the other Financing Documents, release
all or substantially all of the Collateral, or (vii) change any of the
provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any
other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required
to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or
grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, and
provided further that no such
agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent.

     

    SECTION
10.3.   Expenses; Indemnity; Damage
Waiver.

     

    (a) The
Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative
Agent and each Lender, in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and
the other Financing Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the
provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and out-of-pocket field examination
expenses, and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with
this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with
the Loans made, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any
workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

     

    (b) The
Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against
any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of
(i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any
other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the
proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of
Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Loan Party
or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to
any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of
the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claim, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee.

     

    (c) To the
extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to
the Administrative Agent or its respective Related Parties under paragraph (a)
or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent or the applicable Related Party, as the case may be, such
Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought and based upon the
outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan at such time) of such unpaid
amount; provided that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent or such Related Party in its capacity as such.

     

    (d) To the
extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions
or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

     

    (e) All
amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written
demand therefor.

     

    SECTION
10.4.   Successors and
Assigns.

     

    (a) Successors and Assigns
Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Loan Party may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or
transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and
(ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations
hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.4.  Nothing
in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related
Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement.

     

    (b) Assignments by
Lenders.

     

    (i) Subject
to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to
one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment) with the
prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the
Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall
be required for assignments in respect of a Term Loan Commitment if such
assignment is to a Person that is a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such
facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such
Lender.

     

    (ii) Assignments
shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

     

    (A) Minimum
Amounts.  Except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an
Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, the amount of the Term Loan Commitment
of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the
date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered
to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than [***] in the case of such
Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, unless Administrative Agent otherwise
consents;

     

    (B) Recording
Fee.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
[***];

     

    (C) Administrative
Questionnaire.  If the assignee is not an existing Lender
hereunder, such assignee shall deliver an Administrative Questionnaire to the
Administrative Agent;

     

    (D) No Assignment to any
Borrower.  No assignment shall be made to any Borrower or any
of a Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries; and

     

    (E) No Assignment to Natural
Persons.  No assignment shall be made to a natural
person.

     

    For the
purposes of this Section 10.4(b),
the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

     

    “Approved Fund” means
any Person (other than a natural person) engaged in making, purchasing, holding,
or investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the
ordinary course of its business and that is advised, administered, or managed by
(a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an
Affiliate of an entity that administers, advises or manages a Lender; and with
respect to any Lender that is an investment fund, any other investment fund that
invests in loans and that is advised, administered or managed by the same
investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment
advisor.

     

    (iii) Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 10.4,
from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption,
the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender
thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13,
2.14, 2.15 and 10.3).  Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this Section 10.4
shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of
this Section.

     

    (c) Register.

     

    (i) The Loans
shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon a
register (the “Register”) maintained
by the Administrative Agent as Registrar (the “Registrar”), acting
solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers.  The Registrar
shall maintain the Register at one of its offices in the United States for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of the Notes from time to
time.  The Registrar shall record each transfer of all or part of the
Loans to a transferee on the Registrar upon written notification by the
registered owner of such transfer (with the Registrar being allowed to rely
conclusively on any such notification).  The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and Lenders may
deem and treat the Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the
terms hereof as the owner of the Loans and holders of the Notes for the purpose
of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal and interest due on the
Loans and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary, provided that, failure to make
any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any
Lender’s Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any
Loan.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers
and the Lenders, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.  Each Borrower hereby designates the entity serving as
Administrative Agent to serve as such Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of
maintaining the Register as provided in this Section, and each Borrower hereby
agrees that, to the extent such entity serves in such capacity, the entity
serving as Agent and its affiliates, and its and its affiliates officers,
directors, employees and agents shall constitute “Indemnitees” under Section 10.3(b).

     

    (ii) Upon its
receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire
(unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and
recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4,
any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and any written consent to such
assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4,
the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record
the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment
shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in
the Register as provided in this paragraph.  Upon notice to the
Borrower Representative, at no expense to any Loan Party, the Borrowers shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for such surrendered
Notes, new Notes to the assignee in an amount equal to the portion of the
Commitments assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption and, if the
assigning Lender has retained any Commitment hereunder, new Notes to the
assigning Lender in an amount equal to the respective Commitments retained by it
hereunder.

     

    (iii) At the
request of the registered owner of the Note, the Administrative Agent shall note
a collateral assignment of the Note on the Register and, provided that the
Administrative Agent has been given the name and address of such collateral
assignee, the Administrative Agent (i) shall not permit any further transfers of
the Note on the Register absent receipt of written consent to such transfers
from such collateral assignee and (ii) shall record the transfer of the Note on
the Register to such collateral assignee (or such collateral assignee’s
designee, nominee or assignee) upon written request by such collateral
assignee.

     

    (d) Participations.

     

    (i) Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent,
sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all
or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that
(A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement.

     

    (ii) Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and the other Financing Documents and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other
Financing Documents; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
described in the first proviso to Section 10.2(b)
that affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable
law, that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13,
2.14 and 2.15 to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by
law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.8 as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees in writing to be
subject to Section 2.16(c)
as though it were a Lender.

     

    (e) Limitation on Participant’s
Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Section 2.13 or
2.15 other than
the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.  A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender, i.e., if it were a
Lender, shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15
unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 2.15(e)
as though it were a Lender.

     

    (f) Certain
Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and
the Notes issued to such Lender to secure obligations of such Lender, including
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and
this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security
interest; provided that no such
pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of
its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such
Lender as a party hereto.

     

    (g) Limitation on
Effectiveness.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, in the case of an assignment by any Lender to any Affiliate of
such Lender, such assignment shall be effective as between such assigning Lender
and its Affiliate immediately without compliance with the conditions for
assignment under this Section 10.4,
but shall not be effective with respect to the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender
shall be entitled to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender under
any such assignment, in each case, until all of the conditions for assignment
under this Section 10.4
have been complied with.

     

    (h) Securitization.  In
addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section, Loan
Parties hereby acknowledge that (x) the Lenders, their Affiliates and
Approved Funds (each, a “Lender Party” and
collectively, “Lender
Parties”) may sell or securitize the Loans (a “Securitization”)
through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to a Lender
Party or the assignment or issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans
(such as, for instance, collateralized loan obligations), and (y) such
Securitization may be rated by a Rating Agency (as defined in Section
10.12).  The  Loan Parties shall reasonably cooperate
with the Lender Parties to effect the Securitization including, without
limitation, by (a) amending this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and executing such additional documents, as reasonably requested by the Lenders
in connection with the Securitization, (b) providing such information as
may be reasonably requested by the Lenders or Rating Agencies in connection with
the rating of the Loans or the Securitization, and (c) providing a
certificate (i) agreeing to indemnify the Lender Parties, or any party
providing credit support or otherwise participating in the
Securitization,  including any investors in a securitization entity
(collectively, the “Securitization
Parties”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the “Securitization
Liabilities”) to which the Lender Parties or such Securitization Parties
may become subject insofar as the Securitization Liabilities arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any Loan Document or in any writing delivered by or on behalf of
any Loan Party to the Lender Partiers in connection with any Loan Document or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, and such indemnity shall survive any transfer by the Lenders or
their successors or assigns of the Loans, and (ii) agreeing to reimburse
the Lender Parties and the other Securitization Parties for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such Persons in connection with defending the
Securitization Liabilities.

     

    SECTION
10.5.   Survival.  All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties
herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with
or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by
the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the making of any Loans regardless of any investigation made by
any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent, or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default, Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time
any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as
long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any
other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long
as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of
Sections 2.13,
2.14, 2.15 and 10.3 and Article VIII
shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Term Loan, the
expiration the Term Loan Commitment or the termination of this Agreement or any
provision hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent hereby agrees to release all of its Liens on the Collateral upon payment
in full of all Obligations.

     

    SECTION
10.6.   Counterparts; Integration;
Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts
(and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a
single contract.  This Agreement, the other Financing Documents and
any separate letter agreements with respect to or referring to fees and other
amounts payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among
the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all
previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject
matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.1,
this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

     

    SECTION
10.7.   Severability.  Any
provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     

    SECTION
10.8.   Right of
Setoff.  (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.8(b)
below, If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender
and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to
time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or
for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the
obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or
any other Financing Document held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not
such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other
Financing Document and although such obligations may be
unmatured.  The rights of each Lender under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which
such Lender may have.

     

    (b) If any
Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary,
involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of principal of,
or interest on, any of the Loans made by it, in excess of its pro rata share of
payments then or thereafter obtained by all Lenders upon principal of and
interest on all such Obligations, such Lender shall purchase from the other
Lenders such participations in the Term Loan held by them as shall be necessary
to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery
ratably in accordance with the applicable percentages of the aggregate Term Loan
Commitment of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the
excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, but without interest.

     

    SECTION
10.9.   GOVERNING LAW; Jurisdiction;
Consent to Service of Process.

     

    (a) THIS
AGREEMENT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAWS
PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION.

     

    (b) Each Loan
Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of
New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in
any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of
the other Financing Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard
and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in
such Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement or any of the other
Financing Documents shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any
Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

     

    (c) Each Loan
Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it
may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents in any court
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.  Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.

     

    (d) Each Loan
Party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for
notices in Section 10.1.  Nothing
in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.

     

    SECTION
10.10.   WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE,
AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,
THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO
HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

     

    SECTION
10.11.   Headings.  Article
and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience
of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the
construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this
Agreement.

     

    SECTION
10.12.   Confidentiality.  Each
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers,
employees and agents, including accountants, Rating Agencies, portfolio
management servicers, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that
the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority
(including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other
party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any of the other Financing Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder
or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) to a Person that is a
trustee, investment advisor, collateral manager, servicer, noteholder or secured
party in a Securitization (as hereinafter defined) in connection with the
administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for
such Securitization, (h) with the consent of the Borrower Representative or
(i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available,
other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis
from a source other than a Loan Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose to any and all
Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of
the Transactions and all materials of any kind (including opinions and tax
analysis) that have been provided to such Persons relating to the tax treatment
and tax structure of the Transactions (it being understood that this
authorization is retroactively effective to the commencement of the first
discussions between or among any of the parties regarding the
Transactions).  For the purposes of this Section, (i) “Information” means
all information received from any Loan Party relating to the Loan Parties or
their business, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by such Loan Party; provided that, in the
case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such
information is clearly identified as confidential at the time of
delivery.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of
Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied
with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of
care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would
accord to its own confidential information and (ii) “Rating Agencies”
means Moody’s Investor Services, Inc., Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group, a
Division of McGraw Hill Corporation, Fitch Ratings Ltd., or any other nationally
recognized rating agency or service.  The obligations of any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this
Section shall continue with respect to any item of Information for only so long
as the item of Information has or retains a confidential nature, but in no event
beyond a period of two (2) years from the date of delivery of such item of
Information to such Person.  In no event shall the Administrative
Agent or any Lender be obligated or required to return any Information or other
materials furnished by a Loan Party.

     

    SECTION
10.13.   Interest Rate
Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees,
charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under
applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall
exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which
may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender
holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest
payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in
respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful,
the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan
but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be
cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of
other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate
therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received
by such Lender.

     

    SECTION
10.14.   Publication.  No
Loan Party or Affiliate thereof will in the future issue any press releases or
other public disclosure using the name “C.I.T. Leasing Corporation” or its
Affiliates or any other Lender or its Affiliates or referring to this Agreement
or the other Financing Documents without at least two (2) Business Days’
prior notice to Administrative Agent and Lender, if applicable, and without the
prior written consent of Administrative Agent and Lender, if applicable, unless
(and only to the extent that) such Loan Party or Affiliate is required to do so
under Applicable Law and then, in any event, such Loan Party or Affiliate will
consult with Administrative Agent before issuing such press release or other
public disclosure.  Each Loan Party expressly consents to and
authorizes the publication by Administrative Agent or any Lender of a summary
description of the transaction(s) contemplated by this Agreement in any format
(including tombstones, deal listings or similar advertising materials), which
may be published in one or more of financial or other industry periodicals,
newspapers, reporting services, trade organizations, written promotional
materials, Administrative Agent or Lender web site, etc.  In addition,
each Loan Party expressly consents to and authorizes Administrative Agent or
Lender to provide to financial or other industry periodicals, newspapers,
reporting services or trade organizations information necessary and customary
for inclusion of the transaction(s) in league table measurements, including the
aggregate dollar value of the transaction.

    ARTICLE XI

     

    

     

    BORROWER
REPRESENTATIVE

     

    SECTION
11.1.   Appointment; Nature of
Relationship.  Holdings is
hereby appointed by each of the Borrowers as its contractual representative
(herein referred to as the “Borrower
Representative”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each
of the Borrowers irrevocably authorizes the Borrower Representative to act as
the contractual representative of such Borrower with the rights and duties
expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents.  The
Borrower Representative agrees to act as such contractual representative upon
the express conditions contained in this
Article XI.  Additionally, the Borrowers hereby appoint the
Borrower Representative as their agent to receive all of the proceeds of the
Loans in any account designated by Borrower Representative, at which time the
Borrower Representative shall promptly disburse such Loans to the appropriate
Borrower.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their
respective Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, agents or
employees, shall not be liable to the Borrower Representative or any Borrower
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Borrower Representative or
the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11.1.

     

    SECTION
11.2.   Powers.  The
Borrower Representative shall have and may exercise such powers under the
Financing Documents as are specifically delegated to the Borrowers and/or the
Borrower Representative by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The Borrower Representative
shall have no implied duties to the Borrowers, or any obligation to the Lenders
to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the
Financing Documents to be taken by the Borrower Representative.

     

    SECTION
11.3.   Employment of
Agents.  The Borrower Representative may execute any of its
duties and powers as the Borrower Representative hereunder and under any other
Loan Document by or through Authorized Officers.

     

    SECTION
11.4.   Notices.  Each
Borrower shall immediately notify the Borrower Representative of the occurrence
of any Default hereunder referring to this Agreement describing such Default and
stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”  In the event that
the Borrower Representative receives such a notice, the Borrower Representative
shall give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders.  Any notice provided to the Borrower Representative under
this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents shall constitute notice to each
Borrower on the date received by the Borrower Representative.

     

    SECTION
11.5.   Successor Borrower
Representative.  Upon the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative may resign at any time, such
resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Borrower
Representative.  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt written
notice of such resignation and corresponding appointment of a successor to the
Lenders.

     

    SECTION
11.6.   Execution of Financing
Documents; Certificates.  The Borrowers hereby empower and
authorize the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, to execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders the Financing Documents
and all related agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be
necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Financing Documents,
including without limitation, the Compliance Certificates.  Each
Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower Representative or the
Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Financing
Documents, and the exercise by the Borrower Representative of its powers set
forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably
incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Borrowers.

     

    ARTICLE XII

     

    JOINT AND SEVERAL
OBLIGATIONS; CROSS-GUARANTIES

     

    SECTION
12.1.   Joint and Several
Obligations.

     

    (a) Each
Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations of
Borrowers under this Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives
the proceeds of the Indebtedness governed hereby or the benefit of any other
extensions of credit hereunder, or the manner in which the Borrowers,
Administrative Agent or Lenders account therefor in their respective books and
records.  In addition, each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees
that all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions,
agreements and other terms contained in this Agreement shall be applicable to
and shall be binding upon and measured and enforceable individually against each
Borrower as well as all Borrowers when taken together.  By way of
illustration, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms of
Article VII of this Agreement are to be applied to each Borrower (as well as to
all Borrowers taken as a whole), such that the occurrence of any of the events
described in Article VII of this Agreement as to any Borrower shall constitute
an Event of Default even if such event has not occurred as to any other Borrower
or as to all Borrowers taken as a whole (except as otherwise expressly provided
therein).

     

    (b) Each
Borrower acknowledges that it will enjoy significant benefits from the business
conducted by the other Borrowers because of, inter alia, their combined ability
to bargain with other Persons including without limitation their ability to
receive the credit extensions under this Agreement and the Security Documents,
which would not have been available to an individual Borrower acting
alone.  Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest
to procure the credit facilities contemplated hereunder, with the credit support
of the other Borrowers as contemplated by this Agreement and the Security
Documents.

     

    (c) Administrative
Agent and the Lenders have advised the Borrowers that they are unwilling to
enter into this Agreement and the Security Documents and make available the
credit facilities extended hereby or thereby to any Borrower unless each
Borrower agrees, among other things, to be jointly and severally liable for the
due and proper payment of the Obligations of each other Borrower under this
Agreement and the Security Documents.  Each Borrower has determined
that it is in its best interest and in pursuit of its purposes that it so induce
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to extend credit pursuant to this
Agreement and the Security Documents (i) because of the desirability to
each Borrower of the credit facilities hereunder and the interest rates and the
modes of borrowing available hereunder, (ii) because each Borrower may
engage in transactions jointly with other Borrowers, and (iii) because each
Borrower may require, from time to time, access to funds under this Agreement
for the purposes herein set forth.  Each Borrower, individually,
expressly understands, agrees and acknowledges, that the credit facilities
contemplated hereunder would not be made available on the terms herein in the
absence of the collective credit of the Borrowers, the joint and several
liability of all such Persons, and the cross-collateralization of the collateral
of all such Persons hereunder.  Accordingly, each Borrower
individually acknowledges that the benefit of the accommodations made under this
Agreement to Borrowers as a whole constitutes reasonably equivalent value,
regardless of the amount of the indebtedness actually borrowed by, advanced to,
or the amount of credit provided to, or the amount of collateral provided by,
any individual Borrower.

     

    (d) Each
Borrower has determined that it has and, after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Security Documents (including, without
limitation, the inter-Borrower arrangement set forth in this Section) will have,
assets having a fair saleable value in excess of the amount required to pay its
probable liability on its existing debts as they fall due for payment and that
the sum of its debts is not and will not then be greater than all of its
property at a fair valuation, that such Borrower has, and will have, access to
adequate capital for the conduct of its business and the ability to pay its
debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature
and that the value of the benefits to be derived by such Borrower from the
access to funds under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the
intercompany arrangement set forth in this Section) is reasonably equivalent to
the obligations undertaken pursuant hereto.

     

    (e) Borrower
Representative (on behalf of each Borrower) shall maintain records specifying
(a) all Obligations incurred by each Borrower, (b) the date of such
incurrence, (c) the date and amount of any payments made in respect of such
Obligations and (d) all inter-Borrower obligations pursuant to this
Section.  Borrower Representative shall make copies of such records
available to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, upon request.

     

    (f) To the
extent that applicable law otherwise would render the full amount of the joint
and several obligations of any Borrower hereunder and under the Security
Documents invalid or unenforceable, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder and
under the Security Documents shall be limited to the maximum amount which does
not result in such invalidity or unenforceability; provided, however, that each
Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the Security Documents shall be
presumptively valid and enforceable to their fullest extent in accordance with
the terms hereof, as if this Section were not a part of this
Agreement.

     

    (g) To the
extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Section of all or any
of the Obligations (other than credit facilities made to that Borrower for which
it is primarily liable) (a “Joint Liability
Payment”) which, taking into account all other Joint Liability Payments
then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount
which such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the
aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Joint Liability Payments in the same
proportion that such Borrower’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as
determined immediately prior to such Joint Liability Payments) bore to the
aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately
prior to the making of such Joint Liability Payments, then, following
indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the
Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and
indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the
amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in
effect immediately prior to such Joint Liability Payments.  As of any
date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of
any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then
be recovered from such Borrower under this Section without rendering such claim
voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act,
Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

     

    (h) Administrative
Agent is hereby authorized, without notice or demand and without affecting the
liability of any Borrower hereunder, to, at any time and from time to time,
(i) renew, extend or otherwise increase the time for payment of the
Obligations; (ii) with the written agreement of any Borrower accelerate or
otherwise change the terms relating to the Obligations or otherwise modify,
amend or change the terms of any promissory note or other agreement, document or
instrument now or hereafter executed by any Borrower and delivered to
Administrative Agent; (iii) accept partial payments of the Obligations;
(iv) take and hold security or collateral for the payment of the
Obligations or for the payment of any guaranties of the Obligations and
exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral;
(v) apply such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of
sale thereof as Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine; and
(vi) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the
Obligations and any security or collateral therefor in any manner, without
affecting or impairing the obligations of any Borrower.  Except as
specifically provided in this Agreement or any of the Security Documents,
Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to determine the time and
manner of application of any payments or credits, whether received from any
Borrower or any other source, and such determination shall be binding on all
Borrowers.  All such payments and credits may be applied, reversed and
reapplied, in whole or in part, to any of the Obligations. Administrative Agent
shall determine in its sole discretion without affecting the validity or
enforceability of the Obligations of any other Borrower.

     

    (i) Each
Borrower hereby agrees that, except as hereinafter provided, its obligations
hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of (i) the absence of any
attempt to collect the Obligations from any obligor or other action to enforce
the same; (ii) the waiver or consent by Administrative Agent with respect
to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations, or any part
thereof, or any other agreement heretofore, now or hereafter executed by a
Borrower and delivered to Administrative Agent; (iii) failure by
Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security
interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the
Obligations; (iv) the institution of any proceeding under the United States
Bankruptcy Code, or any similar proceeding, by or against a Borrower or
Administrative Agent’s election in any such proceeding of the application of
Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (v) any
borrowing or grant of a security interest by a Borrower as debtor-in-possession,
under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (vi) the
disallowance, under Section 502 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, of
all or any portion of Administrative Agent’s claim(s) for repayment of any of
the Obligations; or (vii) any other circumstance other than payment in full
of the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety.

     

    (j) Until all
Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full, no payment made by or for the
account of a Borrower including, without limitation, (i) a payment made by
such Borrower on behalf of the liabilities of any other Borrower or (ii) a
payment made by any other person under any guaranty, shall entitle such
Borrower, by subrogation or otherwise, to any payment from any other Borrower or
from or out of any other Borrower’s property and such Borrower shall not
exercise any right or remedy against any other Borrower or any property of any
other Borrower by reason of any performance of such Borrower of its joint and
several obligations hereunder.

     

    (k) Any
notice given by one Borrower hereunder shall constitute and be deemed to be
notice given by all Borrowers, jointly and severally.  Notice given by
Administrative Agent or Lenders to any one Borrower hereunder or pursuant to any
Security Documents in accordance with the terms hereof shall constitute notice
to each and every Borrower.  The knowledge of one Borrower shall be
imputed to all Borrowers and any consent by one Borrower shall constitute the
consent of and shall bind all Borrowers.

     

    (l) This
Section is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing
set forth in this Section is intended to or shall impair the obligations of
Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall
become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any
Security Documents.  Nothing contained in this Section shall limit the
liability of any Borrower to pay the credit facilities made directly or
indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, Fees and expenses with respect
thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.

     

    (m) The
parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification
hereunder shall constitute assets of each Borrower to which such contribution
and indemnification is owing.  The rights of any indemnifying Borrower
against the other Borrowers under this Section shall be exercisable upon the
full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of the
credit facilities hereunder.

     

    SECTION
12.2.   Cross-Guaranty
Provisions.

     

    (a) This
Agreement is a primary and original obligation of each of the Borrowers and each
of the Borrowers shall be liable for all existing and future Obligations of any
other Borrower as fully as if such Obligations were directly incurred by such
Borrower.

     

    (b) Each
Borrower, as joint and several primary obligor of the Obligations directly
incurred by any other Borrower, authorizes Administrative Agent, without giving
notice to such Borrower or to any other Borrower (to the extent permitted
hereunder) or obtaining such Borrower’s consent or any other Borrower’s consent
(to the extent permitted hereunder) and without affecting the liability of such
Borrower for the Obligations directly incurred by the other Borrower, from time
to time to:

     

    (i) compromise,
settle, renew, extend the time for payment, change the manner or terms of
payment, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any
of the Obligations; grant other indulgences to any Borrower in respect thereof;
or modify in any manner any documents relating to the Obligations;

     

    (ii) declare
all Obligations due and payable upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default;

     

    (iii) take and
hold security for the performance of the Obligations of any Borrower and
exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security;

     

    (iv) apply and
reapply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as
Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine;

     

    (v) release,
surrender or exchange any deposits or other property securing the Obligations or
on which Administrative Agent at any time may have a Lien; release, substitute
or add any one or more endorsers or guarantors of the Obligations of any other
Borrower; or compromise, settle, renew, extend the time for payment, discharge
the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any obligations of any
such endorser or guarantor or other Person who is now or may hereafter be liable
on any Obligations or release, surrender or exchange any deposits or other
property of any such Person;

     

    (vi) apply
payments received by Administrative Agent from any Borrower to any Obligations,
in such order as Administrative Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion;
and

     

    (vii) assign
this Agreement in whole or in part.

     

    (c) Each
Borrower, as a primary, joint and several obligor with respect to the
Obligations directly incurred by any other Borrower, waives:

     

    (i) any
defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Borrower,
or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other
Borrower from any cause (other than full payment of all Obligations), including,
but not limited to, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of
frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction, and usury;

     

    (ii) any
defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other guarantor
or other Person;

     

    (iii) any
defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or
agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower or any
principal of any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other
Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower;

     

    (iv) any
defense based upon the application by any other Borrower of the proceeds of the
credit facilities for purposes other than the purposes represented by such other
Borrower to Administrative Agent or intended or understood by Administrative
Agent or such Borrower;

     

    (v) any
defense based on such Borrower’s rights, under statute or otherwise, to require
Administrative Agent to sue any other Borrower or otherwise to exhaust its
rights and remedies against any other Borrower or any other Person or against
any collateral before seeking to enforce its right to require such Borrower to
satisfy the Obligations of any other Borrower;

     

    (vi) any
defense based on Administrative Agent’s failure at any time to require strict
performance by any Borrower of any provision of the Security
Documents.  Such Borrower agrees that no such failure shall waive,
alter or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and
performance therewith.  Nothing contained herein shall prevent
Administrative Agent from foreclosing on any Lien, or exercising any rights
available to Administrative Agent thereunder, and the exercise of any such
rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such
Borrower;

     

    (vii) any
defense arising from any act or omission of Administrative Agent which changes
the scope of such Borrower’s risks hereunder;

     

    (viii) any
defense based upon Administrative Agent’s election of any remedy against such
Borrower or any other Borrower; any defense based on the order in which
Administrative Agent enforces its remedies;

     

    (ix) any
defense based on (A) Administrative Agent’s surrender, release, exchange,
substitution, dealing with or taking any additional collateral,
(B) Administrative Agent’s abstaining from taking advantage of or realizing
upon any Lien or other guaranty, and (C) any impairment of collateral
securing the Obligations, including, but not limited to, Administrative Agent’s
failure to perfect or maintain a Lien in such collateral;

     

    (x) any
defense based upon Administrative Agent’s failure to disclose to such Borrower
any information concerning any other Borrower’s financial condition or any other
circumstances bearing on any other Borrower’s ability to pay the
Obligations;

     

    (xi) any
defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation
of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more
burdensome than that of a principal;

     

    (xii) any
defense based upon Administrative Agent’s election, in any proceeding instituted
under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Bankruptcy Code
§ 1111(b)(2) or any successor statute;

     

    (xiii) any
defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under
Bankruptcy Code § 364;

     

    (xiv) any
defense based on Administrative Agent’s failure to be diligent or to satisfy any
other standard imposed on a secured party, in exercising rights with respect to
collateral securing the Obligations;

     

    (xv) except as
otherwise expressly set forth herein:  notice of acceptance hereof;
notice of the existence, creation or acquisition of any Obligation; notice of
any Event of Default; notice of the amount of the Obligations outstanding from
time to time; notice of any other fact which might increase such Borrower’s
risk; diligence; presentment; demand of payment; protest; filing of claims with
a court in the event of any other Borrower’s receivership or bankruptcy and all
other notices and demands to which such Borrower might otherwise be entitled
(and agrees the same shall not have to be made on the other Borrower as a
condition precedent to such Borrower’s obligations hereunder);

     

    (xvi) any
defense based on errors and omissions by Administrative Agent in connection with
its administration of the credit facilities;

     

    (xvii) any
defense based on application of fraudulent conveyance or transfer law or
shareholder distribution law to any of the Obligations or the security
therefor;

     

    (xviii) any
defense based on Administrative Agent’s failure to seek relief from stay or
adequate protection in any other Borrower’s bankruptcy proceeding or any other
act or omission by Administrative Agent which impairs such Borrower’s
prospective subrogation rights;

     

    (xix) any
defense based on legal prohibition of Administrative Agent’s acceleration of the
maturity of the Obligations during the occurrence of an Event of Default or any
other legal prohibition on enforcement of any other right or remedy of
Administrative Agent with respect to the Obligations and the security
therefor;

     

    (xx) any
defense available to a surety under applicable law; and

     

    (xxi) the
benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of such Borrower
hereunder or the enforcement hereof.

     

    (d) Each
Borrower further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be impaired in
any manner whatsoever by any bankruptcy, extensions, moratoria or other relief
granted to any other Borrower pursuant to any statute presently in force or
hereafter enacted.

     

    (e) Each
Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to exercise, in its sole discretion,
any right, remedy or combination thereof which may then be available to
Administrative Agent in accordance with, and subject to standards established
by, this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, since it is such
Borrower’s intent that the Obligations be absolute, independent and
unconditional obligations of such Borrower under all
circumstances.  Notwithstanding any foreclosure of any Lien with
respect to any or all of any property securing the Obligations, whether by the
exercise of the power of sale contained therein, by an action for judicial
foreclosure or by an acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, each Borrower
shall remain bound under such Borrower’s guaranty of the Obligations directly
incurred by any other Borrower.

    EXHIBIT
A

     

    FORM
OF ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

     

     

    Reference
is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of July 30, 2009 (as amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time,
the “Credit
Agreement”) among Pinnacle Airlines, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“Pinnacle”), Colgan
Air, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Colgan”, and together
with Pinnacle, each a “Borrower” and
collectively, the “Borrowers”), the
other Loan Parties from time to time party thereto, the financial institutions
from time to time party thereto as lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”, and
individually, each a “Lender”), and C.I.T.
Leasing Corporation, as agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”).  Capitalized
terms used in this Assignment and Assumption Agreement (this “Agreement”) and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit
Agreement.  This Agreement between the Assignor (as defined and set
forth on Schedule 1,
which is made a part of this Credit Agreement) and the Assignee (as defined and
set forth on Schedule 1) is
effective as of Effective Date (as set forth on Schedule 1).

     

    1.           The
Assignor hereby irrevocably sells and assigns to the Assignee, without recourse
to the Assignor, and the Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases and assumes from
the Assignor, without recourse to the Assignor, as of the Effective Date, an
undivided interest (the “Assigned Interest”)
in and to all of the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Credit
Agreement respecting those, and only those, portions of the financing facilities
contained in the Credit Agreement as are set forth on Schedule 1
(collectively, the “Assigned
Facilities”), in an amount for each of the Assigned Facilities as set
forth on Schedule 1.

     

    2.           The
Assignor: (i) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations
made in or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other instrument,
document or agreement executed or delivered in connection therewith
(collectively the “Loan Documents”), or
the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or
value of the Credit Agreement, any Collateral thereunder or any of the other
Loan Documents, other than a representation and warranty that the Assignor is
the legal and beneficial owner of the Assigned Interest and that the Assigned
Interest is free and clear of any adverse claim; and (ii) makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to
(x) the financial condition of any Loan Party, or (y) the performance
or observance by any Loan Party of any of its respective obligations under the
Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.

     

    3.           The
Assignee (i) represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter
into this Credit Agreement, (ii) confirms that it has received a copy of
the Credit Agreement as amended through the Effective Date, together with the
copies of the most recent financial statements of the Loan Parties, and such
other documents and information as the Assignee has deemed appropriate to make
its own credit analysis, (iii) agrees that the Assignee will, independently
and without reliance upon the Agent, the Assignor or any other Lender and based
on such documents and information as the Assignee shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under the Credit Agreement, (iv) appoints and authorizes the Agent to take
such action as agent on the Assignee’s behalf and to exercise such powers under
the Credit Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, (v) agrees
that the Assignee will be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement and
will perform in accordance with its terms all the obligations which by the terms
of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as Lender, and
(vi) if the Assignee is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside
the United States, attaches the forms prescribed by the IRS certifying as to the
Assignee’s exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all
payments to be made to the Assignee under the Credit Agreement or such other
documents as are necessary to indicate that all such payments are subject to
such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty.

     

    4.           Following
the execution of this Assignment and Assumption Agreement, such agreement will
be delivered to the Agent for acceptance by the Agent, effective as of the
Effective Date.

     

    5.           Upon
such acceptance, from and after the Effective Date, the Agent shall make all
payments in respect of the Assigned Interest (including payments of principal,
interest, fees and other amounts) to the Assignee, whether such amounts have
accrued prior to the Effective Date or accrue subsequent to the Effective
Date.  The Assignor and the Assignee shall make all other appropriate
adjustments in payments for periods prior to the Effective Date made by the
Agent or with respect to the making of this assignment directly between
themselves.

     

    6.           From
and after the Effective Date, (i) the Assignee shall be a party to the
Credit Agreement and, to the extent provided in this Credit Agreement, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder, and (ii) the Assignor shall,
to the extent provided in this Credit Agreement, relinquish its rights and be
released from its obligations under the Credit Agreement.
