TO HAVE AND TO
HOLD the Collateral unto the Collateral Agent, its permitted successors and
assigns, forever, upon the terms herein set forth, in trust for the benefit,
security and protection of the Administrative Agent and the Noteholders,
without any priority of any one Note over any other, and for the uses and
purposes and subject to the terms and provisions set forth in this Mortgage.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The Company
does hereby warrant and represent that it has not assigned or pledged, and
hereby covenants that it will not assign or pledge, so long as the assignment
hereunder shall remain in effect, any of its right, title or interest hereby
assigned, to anyone other than the Collateral Agent.

will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien
on or with respect to any of the Collateral or title thereto or any interest

(c)                                  Liens for taxes of the Company
(or any Lessee) either not yet due or payable or being contested in good faith
by appropriate proceedings so long as such proceedings do not involve any
material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Airframe or any Engine or
any interest therein or adversely affect the Lien of this Mortgage;

 

(d)                                 materialmen’s, mechanics’,

(including those arising under maintenance agreements entered into in the
ordinary course of business) securing obligations that are not overdue for a
period of more than sixty (60) days or are being contested in good faith by

(e)                                  Liens arising out of any

Section 3.2.                                   Possession,
Operation and Use, Maintenance and Registration.

 

(a)                                  Possession.

 

The Company
shall not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, lease or
otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer or relinquish possession of the
Airframe or any Engine or install or permit any Engine to be installed in any
airframe other than the Airframe or enter into any Wet Lease; provided that so long as no Default of the
type referred to in Section 4.1(a), 4.1(d) or 4.1(e) or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such lease, delivery,
transfer or relinquishment of possession or installation or such Wet Lease, so
long as the action to be taken shall not deprive the Collateral Agent of the
first priority Lien of this Mortgage on the Airframe and so long as the Company
(or any Lessee) shall comply with the provisions of Sections 3.2(c) and 3.6
hereof, the Company may, without the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent:

 

(i)  
subject the Airframe and the Engines or engines then installed thereon
to normal interchange agreements or any Engine to normal pooling or similar
arrangements, in each case customary in the airline industry and entered into
by the Company (or any Lessee) in the ordinary course of its business; provided that (A) no such agreement or arrangement contemplates or requires
the transfer of title to the Airframe, (B) if the Company’s
title to any Engine shall be divested under any such agreement or arrangement,
such divestiture shall be deemed to be an Event of Loss with respect to such
Engine and the Company shall (or shall cause Lessee to) comply with Section 3.4(e)
hereof in respect thereof and (C) any interchange agreement to which the
Airframe may be subject shall be with a U.S. Air Carrier or a Foreign Air
Carrier;

 

(ii)  
deliver possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the manufacturer
thereof (or for delivery thereto) or to any organization (or for delivery
thereto) for testing, service, repair, maintenance or overhaul work on the
Airframe or Engine or any part thereof or for alterations or modifications in
or additions to such Airframe or Engine to the extent required or permitted by
the terms of Section 3.4(d) hereof;

 

(iii)  
install an Engine on an airframe which is owned by the Company (or any
Lessee) free and clear of all Liens, except: (A) Permitted Liens and those
which apply only to the engines (other than Engines), appliances, parts,
instruments, appurtenances, accessories, furnishings and other equipment (other
than Parts) installed on such airframe (but not to the airframe as an
entirety), (B) the rights of third parties under interchange agreements which
would be permitted under clause (i) above provided that the Company’s title to
such Engine and the first priority Lien of this Mortgage shall not be divested
or impaired as a result thereof and (C) mortgage liens or other security
interests, provided that
(as regards this subclause (C)) such mortgage liens or other security interests
effectively provide that such Engine shall not become subject to such mortgage
or security interest, notwithstanding the installation thereof on such
airframe;

 

(iv)  
install an Engine on an airframe which is leased to the Company (or any
Lessee) or purchased by the Company (or any Lessee) subject to a conditional
sale or other security agreement, provided that
(x) such airframe is free and clear of all Liens,

 

5

 

except: (A) the rights of the parties to the lease or conditional sale
or other security agreement covering such airframe, or their assignees, and (B)
Liens of the type permitted by clause (iii) of this Section 3.2(a) and (y)
such lease, conditional sale or other security agreement effectively provides
that such Engine shall not become subject to the lien of such lease,
conditional sale or other security agreement, notwithstanding the installation
thereof on such airframe;

 

(v)  
install an Engine on an airframe owned by the Company (or any Lessee),
leased to the Company (or any Lessee) or purchased by the Company (or any
Lessee) which is subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement
under circumstances where neither clause (iii) nor clause (iv) of this Section 3.2(a)
is applicable, provided that
such installation shall be deemed an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine
and that the Company shall (or shall cause any Lessee to) comply with Section 3.4(e)
hereof in respect thereof, the Collateral Agent not intending hereby to waive
any right or interest it may have to or in such Engine under applicable law
until compliance by the Company with such Section 3.4(e);

 

(vi)  
to the extent permitted by Section 3.4(c) hereof, subject any appliances,
Parts or other equipment owned by the Company and removed from the Airframe or
any Engine to any pooling arrangement referred to in such Section;

 

(vii)  
subject (or permit any Lessee to subject) the Airframe or any Engine to
the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program and transfer (or permit any Lessee to
transfer) possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the United States of
America or any instrumentality or agency thereof pursuant to the Civil Reserve
Air Fleet Program, so long as the Company (or any Lessee) shall (A) promptly
notify the Collateral Agent upon subjecting the Airframe or any Engine to the
Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program in any contract year and provide the Collateral
Agent with the name and address of the Contracting Office Representative for
the Air Mobility Command of the United States Air Force to whom notice must be
given pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, and (B) promptly notify the
Collateral Agent upon transferring possession of the Airframe or any Engine to
the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof pursuant
to such program;

 

(viii)  
enter into a Wet Lease for the Airframe and Engines or engines then
installed thereon with any third party, provided that if the Company (or any Lessee) shall enter
into any Wet Lease for a period of more than one year (including renewal
options) the Company shall provide to the Collateral Agent written notice of
such Wet Lease (such notice to be given prior to entering into such Wet Lease,
if practicable, but in any event promptly after entering into such Wet Lease);

 

(ix)  
transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the United States
of America or any instrumentality or agency thereof pursuant to a contract, a
copy of which shall be provided to the Collateral Agent; or

 

(x)  
the Company may, at any time, enter into any lease of the Airframe or
any Engine with (A) a U.S. Air Carrier, (B) any Person approved in writing by
the

 

6

 

Collateral Agent (with the approval of the Required Lenders), (C) any
Permitted Lessee or (D) Koninklijke Luchtvaart Mastchappij N.V. (“KLM”) or any
other airline alliance partner of the Company that otherwise meets the
requirement of (A), (B) or (C) above or has been previously approved in writing
by the Collateral Agent, in any such case, if (1) the lessee under such lease
is not subject to a proceeding or final order under applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization laws on the date such lease is entered into, (2)
in the event that the lessee under such lease is a foreign air carrier (other
than a foreign air carrier principally based in Taiwan), the United States
maintains diplomatic relations with the country in which such foreign air
carrier is principally based at the time such lease is entered into (or, in the
case of a lease to a lessee principally based in Taiwan, maintains diplomatic
relations at least as good as those in effect on the date of the Loan), and (3)
in the event that the lessee under such lease is a foreign air carrier, the
Collateral Agent shall receive at the time such lease is entered into an
opinion of counsel (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent) to the Company to the effect that (I) the terms of the
proposed lease will be legal, valid, binding and (subject to customary
exceptions in foreign opinions generally) enforceable against the proposed
lessee in the country in which the proposed lessee is principally based, (II)
there exist no possessory rights in favor of the lessee under such lease under
the laws of such lessee’s country of domicile that would, upon bankruptcy or
insolvency of or other default by the Company and assuming at such time such
lessee is not insolvent or bankrupt, prevent the return or repossession of the
Aircraft in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage, (III) the laws of such
lessee’s country of domicile require fair compensation by the government of
such jurisdiction payable in currency freely convertible into Dollars for the
loss of use of the Aircraft in the event of the requisition by such government
of such use, and (IV) the laws of such lessee’s country of domicile would give
recognition to the Company’s title to the Aircraft, to the registry of the
Aircraft in the name of the Company (or the proposed lessee, as “lessee”, as
appropriate), and to the Lien of this Mortgage.

 

The rights of
any Lessee or other transferee who receives possession by reason of a transfer
permitted by this Section 3.2(a) (other than the transfer of an Engine
which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall be effectively subject and subordinate
to, and any lease permitted by this Section 3.2(a) shall be expressly
subject and subordinate to, all the terms of this Mortgage and to the Lien of
this Mortgage, including, without limitation, the covenants contained in this Section 3.2
and the Collateral Agent’s rights to foreclosure and possession pursuant to Section 4.2
hereof and to avoid such lease upon such repossession, and the Company shall
remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance of all of the terms of
this Mortgage to the same extent as if such lease or transfer had not occurred,
and, except as otherwise provided herein, the terms of any such lease shall not
permit any Lessee to take any action not permitted to be taken by the Company
in this Mortgage with respect to the Aircraft. No pooling agreement, lease or
other relinquishment of possession of the Airframe or any Engine or Wet Lease
shall in any way discharge or diminish any of the Company’s obligations to the
Collateral Agent hereunder or constitute a waiver of the Collateral Agent’s
rights or remedies hereunder. Any lease permitted under this Section 3.2(a)
shall expressly prohibit any further sublease by the Lessee. The Collateral
Agent agrees, for the benefit of the Company (and any Lessee) and for the
benefit of any mortgagee or other holder of a security interest in any engine
(other than an Engine) owned by the Company (or any Lessee), any lessor of any
engine (other than an Engine) leased to the Company (or any Lessee) and any
conditional vendor of any engine (other than an Engine)

purchased by
the Company (or any Lessee) subject to a conditional sale agreement or any
other security agreement, that no interest shall be created hereunder in any
engine so owned, leased or purchased and that neither the Collateral Agent nor
its successors or assigns will acquire or claim, as against the Company (or any
Lessee) or any such mortgagee, lessor or conditional vendor or other holder of
a security interest or any successor or assignee of any thereof, any right,
title or interest in such engine as the result of such engine being installed
on the Airframe; provided, however, that
such agreement of the Collateral Agent shall not be for the benefit of any
lessor or secured party of any airframe (other than the Airframe) leased to the
Company (or any Lessee) or purchased by the Company (or any Lessee) subject to
a conditional sale or other security agreement or for the benefit of any mortgagee
of or any other holder of a security interest in an airframe owned by the
Company (or any Lessee), unless such lessor, conditional vendor, other secured
party or mortgagee has expressly agreed (which agreement may be contained in
such lease, conditional sale or other security agreement or mortgage) that
neither it nor its successors or assigns will acquire, as against the
Collateral Agent, any right, title or interest in an Engine as a result of such
Engine being installed on such airframe. The Company shall provide to the
Collateral Agent (i) written notice of any lease hereunder (such notice to be
given not later than five days prior to entering into such lease) and (ii) a
copy of each lease which has a term of more than three months.

 

(b)                                 Operation
and Use.

 

The Company
will not maintain, use, service, repair, overhaul or operate the Aircraft (or
permit any Lessee or other Person to maintain, use, service, repair, overhaul
or operate the Aircraft) in violation of any law or any rule, regulation, order
or certificate of any government or governmental authority (domestic or
foreign) having jurisdiction, or in violation of any airworthiness certificate,
license or registration relating to the Aircraft issued by any such authority,
except to the extent that the Company (or any Lessee) is contesting in good
faith the validity or application of any such law, rule, regulation or order in
any reasonable manner which does not adversely affect the first priority Lien
of this Mortgage and does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or
loss of the Aircraft.

 

The Company
shall not operate the Aircraft, or permit any Lessee to operate the Aircraft,
(a) in the event insurance (including, without limitation, aircraft war risk
and hijacking insurance) is not maintained in accordance with Section 3.6
hereof until such coverage is reinstated, or (b) in any area excluded from
coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 3.6 hereof,
whether before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default based on such
failure to maintain insurance; provided,
however, that the failure of the Company to comply with the
provisions of this sentence shall not give rise to an Event of Default
hereunder where such failure is attributable to causes beyond the reasonable
control of the Company (or any Lessee) or to extraordinary circumstances
involving an isolated occurrence or series of incidents not in the ordinary
course of the regular operations of the Company (or any Lessee) and in each
case the Company (or such Lessee, as the case may be) is taking all reasonable
steps to remedy such failure as soon as is reasonably practicable.

 

8

 

(c)                                  Maintenance.

 

The Company,
at its own cost and expense, shall (or shall cause any Lessee to) maintain,
service, repair and overhaul (or cause to be maintained, serviced, repaired and
overhauled) the Aircraft so as to keep the Aircraft in as good an operating
condition as when initially subjected to the Lien hereof, ordinary wear and tear
excepted, and as may be necessary to enable the applicable airworthiness
certification for the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times
(other than temporary periods of storage in accordance with applicable
regulations or during maintenance or modification permitted hereunder) under
the Transportation Code, except when all Airbus A330-200 series aircraft
powered by engines of the same type as those with which the Airframe shall be
equipped at the time of such grounding and registered in the United States have
been grounded by the FAA (although such certification need actually be
maintained only during such period as the Aircraft is registered in the United
States), or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft
may then be registered from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof,
utilizing, except during any period that a Lease is in effect, the same manner
and standard of maintenance, service, repair or overhaul used by the Company
with respect to similar aircraft operated by the Company in similar
circumstances and utilizing, during any period that a Lease is in effect, the
same manner and standard of maintenance, service, repair or overhaul used by
the Lessee with respect to similar aircraft operated by the Lessee in similar
circumstances; provided, however, that in all circumstances the Aircraft shall
be maintained by the Company (or any Lessee) in accordance with maintenance
standards required by, or substantially equivalent to those required by, the
FAA or the central civil aviation authority of Canada, France, Germany, Japan,
the Netherlands or the United Kingdom. 
The Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained all records, logs
and other materials required to be maintained in respect of the Aircraft by the
FAA or the applicable regulatory agency or body of any other jurisdiction in
which the Aircraft may then be registered.

 

(d)                                 Identification
of Collateral Agent’s Interest.

 

On or prior to
the date of the Loan, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Company agrees
to fix and maintain (or cause to be fixed and maintained), at its expense, in
the cockpit of the Airframe adjacent to the airworthiness certificate therein
and on each Engine a nameplate bearing the inscription:

 

“SUBJECT TO A
MORTGAGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT IN FAVOR OF ***, AS COLLATERAL AGENT”

 

(such
nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of
any successor Collateral Agent). Except as above provided, the Company will not
allow the name of any Person (other than the Company) to be placed on the
Airframe or on any Engine as a designation that might be interpreted as a claim
of security interest or ownership; provided that
nothing herein contained shall prohibit the Company (or any Lessee) from
placing its customary colors and insignia on the Airframe or any Engine.

 

9

 

(e)                                  Registration.

 

The Company,
at its own expense, will (or will cause any Lessee to) cause the Aircraft to be
duly registered, and at all times to remain duly registered, in the name of the
Company under the Transportation Code, provided,
however, that, subject to the
last sentence of this Section 3.2(e), (i) at any time before the
fifth anniversary of the delivery of the Aircraft, the Company may elect to
effect a change in the registration of the Aircraft to the Netherlands, the
United Kingdom or Japan, at the Company’s expense, with the prior written
consent of the Collateral Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) or (ii) at any time after the fifth anniversary of the
delivery of the Aircraft, the Company may elect to effect a change in the
registration of the Aircraft to any such or to another jurisdiction, at the
Company’s expense, without any Lender’s or the Collateral Agent’s consent, so
long as

 

(A)                              the proposed country of
registry of the Aircraft is a country listed on Schedule IV to the Credit
Agreement (or such other country as the Lender approves),

 

(B)                                the Company undertakes
to perform in such country that which is required to maintain the Lender’s
first and prior perfected Lien on the Collateral, and

 

(C)                                the following
conditions are met:

 

(i)                                     the
United States, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands or Japan,
as appropriate, maintain normal diplomatic relations with the proposed country
of registry of the Aircraft; and

 

(ii)                                  the
Lenders and the Collateral Agent shall have received favorable opinions
(subject to customary exceptions) addressed to each party, from counsel of
recognized reputation qualified in the laws of the relevant jurisdiction to the
effect that:

 

(a)                                  the
Collateral Agent’s Lien on and security interest in the Aircraft shall be
recognized under the laws of such jurisdiction,

 

(b)                                 the
obligations of the Company, and the rights and remedies of the appropriate
parties under the Loan Documents shall remain valid, binding and (subject to
customary bankruptcy and equitable remedies exceptions and to other exceptions
customary in foreign opinions generally) enforceable under the laws of such
jurisdiction (or the laws of the jurisdiction to which the laws of such
jurisdiction would refer as the applicable governing law),

 

(c)                                  after
giving effect to such change in registration, the Collateral Agent’s Lien and
security interest in and to the Aircraft shall continue as a valid and duly
perfected first priority security interest and all filing, recording or other
action necessary to establish, protect and perfect the same shall have been
accomplished (or, if such opinion cannot be

 

10

 

given at the time of such proposed change in
registration because such change in registration is not effective, (i) the
opinion shall detail what filing, recording or other action is necessary and
(ii) the Lenders and the Collateral Agent shall have received a certificate
from the Company that all possible preparations to accomplish such filing,
recording and other action shall have been done, and such filing, recording and
other action shall be accomplished and a supplemental opinion to that effect
shall be delivered to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent on or prior to the
effective date of such change in registration),

 

(d)                                 it
is not necessary, solely as a consequence of such change in registration and
without giving effect to any other activity of the Lenders or the Collateral
Agent, for the Lenders or the Collateral Agent to qualify to do business in
such jurisdiction,

 

(e)                                  there
is no tort liability of the owner of an aircraft not in possession thereof
under the laws of such jurisdiction (it being agreed that, in the event such
latter opinion cannot be given in a form satisfactory to the appropriate
parties, such opinion shall be waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent is provided to cover such risk); and

 

(f)                                    (unless
the Company shall have agreed to provide insurance covering the risk of
requisition of use of the Aircraft by the government of such jurisdiction so
long as the Aircraft is registered under the laws of such jurisdiction) the
laws of such jurisdiction require fair compensation by the government of such
jurisdiction payable in currency freely convertible into Dollars for the loss
of use of the Aircraft in the event of the requisition by such government of
such use.

 

In addition, as a condition precedent to any such change in
registration, the Company shall furnish to the Lenders and to the Collateral
Agent an officer’s certificate to the effect that the insurance required by
this Agreement shall be in full force and effect at the time of such change in
registration after giving effect to such change in registration and that the
new country of registry imposes aircraft maintenance standards not materially
different from those of the United States of America, France, Germany, Japan,
the Netherlands or the United Kingdom. 
The Company shall pay all costs, expenses, fees, recording and
registration taxes, including the fees and expenses of counsel to the Lenders
and of the Collateral Agent and other charges in connection with any such
change in registration.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no change in registration of the Aircraft shall be permitted if
such change is reasonably likely to result in any adverse tax consequences to
the Collateral Agent or the Lenders for which the Company is not required to
indemnify under the Loan Documents or has not entered into a binding agreement
to indemnify in a manner reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Collateral Agent.

 

Section 3.3.                                   Inspection.  At reasonable times and, so long as no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on at least 15 days prior
written notice to the Company, the Collateral Agent or its authorized
representatives may (not more than once every

 

11

 

calendar year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing)) inspect the Aircraft and inspect and make copies (at the
Collateral Agent’s expense) of the books and records of the Company relating to
the maintenance of the Aircraft; any such inspection of the Aircraft shall be
limited to a visual, walk-around inspection and shall not include opening any
panels, bays or the like without the express consent of the Company; provided that no exercise of such inspection rights shall
interfere with the normal operation or maintenance of the Aircraft by, or the
business of, the Company or any Lessee. The Collateral Agent shall not have any
duty to make any such inspection and shall not incur any liability or
obligation by reason of not making any such inspection.

 

Section 3.4.                                   Replacement and
Pooling of Parts; Alterations, Modifications and Additions; Substitution of
Engines.

 

(a)                                  Replacement
of Parts.

 

The Company,
at its own cost and expense, will so long as the Airframe or an Engine is
subject to the Lien of this Mortgage promptly replace or cause to be replaced
all Parts which may from time to time be incorporated or installed in or
attached to the Airframe or any Engine and which may from time to time become
worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair
or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever, except as
otherwise provided in Section 3.4(d) hereof or if the Airframe or an
Engine to which a Part relates has suffered an Event of Loss. In addition, the
Company (or any Lessee) may, at its own cost and expense, remove in the
ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, any
Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated,
damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use, provided that the Company (or such
Lessee), except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4(d) hereof, will, at
its own cost and expense, replace such Parts as promptly as practicable. All
replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens
and pooling arrangements to the extent permitted by Section 3.4(c) and
except in the case of replacement property temporarily installed on an
emergency basis) and shall be in as good operating condition as, and shall have
a value and utility at least equal to, the Parts replaced assuming such
replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be maintained by
the terms hereof.

 

(b)                                 Parts.

 

Except as
otherwise provided in Section 3.4(d) hereof, all Parts at any time removed
from the Airframe or any Engine shall remain subject to the Lien of this
Mortgage, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts shall be
replaced by Parts that have been incorporated or installed in or attached to
such Airframe or Engine and which meet the requirements for replacement Parts
specified in Section 3.4(a) hereof. Immediately upon any replacement part
becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to an Airframe or Engine as
provided in Section 3.4(a) hereof, without further act (subject only to
Permitted Liens and any pooling arrangement to the extent permitted by Section 3.4(c)
hereof and except in the case of replacement property temporarily installed on
an emergency basis), (i) title to such replacement Part shall be owned by the
Company, (ii) the replaced Part shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights
of the Collateral Agent and the replacement part shall be deemed a Part
hereunder; and (iii) such replacement Part shall become subject to the Lien of
this Mortgage and be deemed part

 

12

 

of such
Airframe or Engine, as the case may be, for all purposes hereof to the same
extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such
Airframe or Engine.

 

(c)                                  Pooling
of Parts.

 

Any Part
removed from the Airframe or any Engine as provided in Section 3.4(a)
hereof may be subjected by the Company (or any Lessee) to a normal pooling
arrangement customary in the airline industry of which the Company (or any
Lessee) is a party entered into in the ordinary course of the Company’s (or
such Lessee’s) business; provided that
the Part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or
attached to such Airframe or Engine in accordance with Sections 3.4(a) and
3.4(b) hereof as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed
Part. In addition, any replacement Part when incorporated or installed in or
attached to the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with Section 3.4(a)
hereof may be owned by any third party subject to such a normal pooling
arrangement, provided that the
Company (or any Lessee), at its expense, as promptly thereafter as practicable,
either (i) causes such replacement Part to become subject to the Lien of this
Mortgage, free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens (other than
pooling arrangements), at which time such temporary replacement Part shall
become a Part or (ii) replaces such replacement Part by incorporating or
installing in or attaching to such Airframe or Engine a further replacement
Part which is subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, free and clear of all Liens
except Permitted Liens (other than pooling arrangements).

 

(d)                                 Alterations;
Modifications and Additions.

 

The Company,
at its own expense, will make (or cause to be made) such alterations and
modifications in and additions to the Airframe and any Engine as may be
required to be made from time to time to meet the applicable standards of the
FAA or any applicable regulatory agency or body of any other jurisdiction in
which the Aircraft may then be registered as permitted by Section 3.2(e)
hereof; provided, however, that
the Company (or any Lessee) may, in good faith, contest the validity or
application of any such law, rule, regulation or order in any reasonable manner
which does not adversely affect the Collateral Agent. In addition, the Company
(or any Lessee), at its own expense, may from time to time add further parts or
accessories and make such alterations and modifications in and additions to the
Airframe or any Engine as the Company (or such Lessee) may deem desirable in
the proper conduct of its business, including, without limitation, removal of
Parts which the Company (or such Lessee) has determined in its reasonable
judgment to be obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on the
Airframe or such Engine (such parts, “Obsolete Parts”); provided that no such alteration,
modification or addition shall materially diminish the value, utility or
remaining useful life of such Airframe or such Engine below the value, utility
or remaining useful life thereof immediately prior to such alteration,
modification or addition, assuming such Airframe or Engine was then in the
condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Mortgage, except that
the value (but not the utility or remaining useful life) of the Airframe or any
Engine may be reduced by the value of Obsolete Parts which have been removed so
long as the aggregate value of all Obsolete Parts that shall have been removed
and not replaced shall not exceed $400,000. 
All Parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the
Airframe or any Engine as the result of such alteration, modification or
addition (the “Additional Parts”) shall become subject to the Lien of
this Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Company (or any

 

13

 

Lessee) may
remove or suffer to be removed any Additional Part, provided that such Additional Part (i) is in addition to,
and not in replacement of or in substitution for, any Part originally
incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or Engine at the time
of delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of, or in substitution
for, any such Part, (ii) is not required to be incorporated or installed in or
attached or added to such Airframe or Engine pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2(a)
or (c) hereof or the first sentence of this Section 3.4(d), and (iii) can
be removed from such Airframe or Engine without diminishing or impairing the
value, utility or remaining useful life which such Airframe or Engine would
have had at the time of removal had such alteration, modification or addition
not occurred, assuming that such Airframe or Engine was in the condition and
repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof. Upon the removal by the
Company (or any Lessee) of any such Part as above provided, such Part shall,
without further act, be free and clear of all rights of the Collateral Agent
and such Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder.

 

(e)                                  Substitution
of Engines.

 

The Company
shall have the right at its option at any time, on at least thirty (30) days’
prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, to substitute, and if an Event of
Loss shall have occurred with respect to an Engine (not involving an Event of
Loss with respect to the Airframe with respect to which the Company has elected
to prepay the Notes in accordance with Section 2.8(b) of the Credit
Agreement), shall within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Event of
Loss substitute, a Replacement Engine; provided
that both Engines shall be of the same make and model. In such
event, immediately upon the effectiveness of such substitution on the date set
forth in such notice and without further act, (i) the replaced Engine shall
thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Collateral Agent and shall no
longer be deemed an Engine hereunder, and (ii) such Replacement Engine shall
become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, free and clear of all Liens except
Permitted Liens, and be deemed part of the Aircraft for all purposes hereof to
the same extent as the Engine originally installed on or attached to the
Airframe. The Company’s right to make a replacement hereunder shall be subject
to the fulfillment of the following conditions precedent at the Company’s sole
cost and expense:

 

(i)  
The following documents shall have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the respective party or parties thereto and shall be in full force
and effect, and an executed counterpart of each shall have been delivered to
the Collateral Agent:

 

(A)                              a Mortgage Supplement
covering the Replacement Engine (filed for recording pursuant to the
Transportation Code, or the applicable laws, rules and regulations of any other
jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered as permitted hereby);

 

(B)                                an Officer’s
Certificate of the Company stating (i) that the Replacement Engine is of at
least equal value, utility and remaining useful life as the Engine it replaces assuming
such Engine had been maintained in the condition required hereunder and (ii)
each of the conditions specified in this paragraph (e) with respect to such
Replacement Engine, and any comparable provisions of any Lease permitted hereby
to which such Engine is subject, have been satisfied;

 

14

 

(C)                                such Uniform Commercial
Code financing statements covering the Lien created by this Mortgage as deemed
necessary or desirable by counsel for the Collateral Agent to protect the
security interests of the Collateral Agent in the Replacement Engine; and

 

(D)                               a certificate,
reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent in form and substance, of an
aircraft engineer or qualified independent aircraft appraiser certifying, with
respect to such Replacement Engine, to the effect specified in Section 3.4(e)(i)(B)
hereof;

 

(ii)  
Upon request by the Collateral Agent, the Company shall furnish the
Collateral Agent with (A) an opinion addressed to the Collateral Agent, reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent, of the Company’s
counsel, which may be the Company’s General Counsel or an Associate General
Counsel, to the effect that (x) such documents reasonably requested by the
Collateral Agent are sufficient to cause such Replacement Engine to be subject
to the Lien of this Mortgage and (y) the Collateral Agent will be entitled to
the benefits of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the
Replacement Engine; provided that
the opinion in clause (y) need not be delivered to the extent that the benefits
of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code were not, solely by reason of a
change in law or governmental interpretation thereof, available with respect to
the Engine being substituted for immediately prior to such substitution, (B)
upon recordation, an opinion of qualified FAA counsel, or if applicable,
qualified counsel in the jurisdiction of the Aircraft’s registration addressed
to the Collateral Agent, in either case satisfactory in form and substance to
the Collateral Agent as to the due recordation of the Mortgage Supplement as a
first priority Lien on the Replacement Engine, registration of the ownership of
the Replacement Engine and the freedom from Liens of record (except Permitted
Liens), and (C) such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 3.6
hereof with respect to such Replacement Engine as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request; and

 

(iii)  
The Company shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent (A) a copy of
the bill of sale respecting such Replacement Engine or other evidence of the
Company’s ownership of such Replacement Engine, reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent and (B) appropriate instruments assigning to the Collateral
Agent the benefits, if any, of all manufacturer’s and vendor’s warranties
generally available and permitted to be assigned by the Company with respect to
such Replacement Engine.

 

Upon such
substitution, (x) the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Company
such documents and instruments, prepared at the Company’s expense, as the
Company shall reasonably request, to evidence the release of such replaced
Engine from the Lien of this Mortgage; (y) the Collateral Agent shall assign to
the Company all claims it may have against any other Person relating to an
Event of Loss of such replaced Engine giving rise to such substitution; and (z)
the Company shall receive all insurance proceeds and proceeds in respect of any
Event of Loss of such replaced Engine giving rise to such replacement to the
extent not previously applied to the purchase price of the Replacement Engine
as provided in Sections 3.6(b)(I), second paragraph, and 3.5(d)(ii) hereof.

 

15

 

Section 3.5.                                   Loss, Destruction
or Requisition.

 

(a)                                  Event
of Loss With Respect to the Airframe.

 

Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or an Engine, the
Company shall forthwith (and in any event within fifteen (15) days after such
occurrence) give the Collateral Agent written notice of such Event of Loss. The
Company shall, within forty-five (45) days after the occurrence of an Event of
Loss with respect to the Airframe give the Collateral Agent written notice of
its election to perform one of the following options (it being agreed that, if
the Company shall not have given notice of such election within such 45 day
period, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to prepay the Notes in
accordance with Section 2.8(b) of the Credit Agreement). The Company may
elect either to (i) prepay the Notes, in which event not later than the earlier
of (x) the Business Day next succeeding the 120th day following the occurrence
of such Event of Loss or (y) the third Business Day following the receipt of
insurance proceeds in respect of such occurrence (but not earlier than thirty
(30) days after such occurrence), the Company shall prepay the Notes in
accordance with Section 2.8(b) of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) cause to
be subjected to the Lien of this Mortgage in replacement thereof not later than
the Business Day next succeeding the 120th day following the occurrence of such
Event of Loss, a Replacement Airframe (together with the same number of
Replacement Engines as the number of Engines, if any, installed on the Airframe
at the time such Event of Loss occurred), such Replacement Airframe and
Replacement Engines to be free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens,
to have a value, utility and remaining useful life at least equal to the
Airframe and Engines, if any, so replaced, as of the date of the Event of Loss
(assuming such Airframe and Engines were in the condition required by the terms
hereof); provided that if the
Company does not perform its obligation to effect such replacement in
accordance with this Section 3.5(a) during the period of time provided
herein, then the Company shall prepay the Notes pursuant to Section 2.8(b)
of the Credit Agreement on the Business Day next succeeding the 120th day
following the occurrence of such Event of Loss.

 

(b)                                 Effect
of Replacement.

 

Upon the
Company having provided a Replacement Aircraft as provided for in Section 3.5(a)
above, (x) the Lien of this Mortgage shall continue with respect to such
Replacement Aircraft as though no Event of Loss had occurred; the Collateral
Agent shall, at the cost and expense of the Company, release from the Lien of
this Mortgage the replaced Airframe and the Engine or engines, if any, attached
to the Airframe upon the occurrence of the Event of Loss by executing and
delivering to the Company such documents and instruments, prepared at the
Company’s expense, as the Company may reasonably request to evidence such
release; and (y) the Collateral Agent shall assign to the Company all claims it
may have against any other Person arising from the Event of Loss and the
Company shall receive all insurance proceeds and proceeds from any award in
respect of condemnation, confiscation, seizure or requisition, including any
investment interest thereon, to the extent not previously applied to the purchase
price of the Replacement Aircraft as provided in Sections 3.5(d)(i) and 3.6
hereof.

Airframe had been maintained in the condition required hereunder and (II) with
respect to the Replacement Engines constituting part of such Replacement
Aircraft to the effect specified in Section 3.4(e)(i)(B) hereof;

 

(3)                                  On

Replacement Aircraft;

 

17

 

(5)                                  On
the Replacement Closing Date, (A) the Company shall cause the Replacement

registration of the Airframe and (C) the Collateral Agent shall have received
evidence satisfactory to it with respect to the matters covered by this
subparagraph (5);

 

(6)                                  On

18

 

(d)                                 Non-Insurance
Payments Received on Account of an Event of Loss.

 

As between the
Collateral Agent and the Company, any payments on account of an Event of Loss
(other than insurance proceeds or other payments the application of which is
provided for in Section 3.6 hereof, or elsewhere in this Mortgage, as the
case may be, or payments in respect of damage to the business or property, of
the Company) with respect to the Aircraft, an Engine or any Part received at
any time by the Collateral Agent or by the Company from any governmental
authority or other Person will be applied as follows:

 

(i)  
if such payments are received with respect to an Event of Loss as to the
Aircraft, and the Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed
thereon are being replaced by the Company pursuant to Section 3.5(a)
hereof, such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Collateral
Agent as security and upon completion of such replacement (or upon the closing
therefor) and compliance with the provisions of Sections 3.5(a) and (c) with
respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made, paid over to or
retained by the Company;

 

(ii)  
if such payments are received with respect to an Event of Loss to an
Engine or Part (not involving an Event of Loss as to the Airframe) that has
been or is being replaced by the Company pursuant to Section 3.4(e)
hereof, such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company; and

 

(iii)  
if such payments are received with respect to an Event of Loss as to the
Aircraft, if the Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed
thereon has not or have not been and will not be replaced as contemplated by Section 3.5(a)
hereof, such payments shall be applied to the prepayment of the Notes required
pursuant to Section 2.8(b) of the Credit Agreement and the payment of any
other Obligations then due and payable and after the Notes and such other
Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, of such payment
shall be promptly paid over to, or retained by, the Company.

 

(e)                                  Requisition
of Use.

 

In the event
of a requisition for use by any government, so long as it does not constitute
an Event of Loss, of the Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the
Airframe so long as the Airframe or an Engine is subject to the Lien of this
Mortgage, the Company shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent of such
requisition and all of the Company’s obligations under this Mortgage shall
continue to the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred. So long as
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any payments
received by the Collateral Agent or the Company from such government with
respect to such requisition of use shall be paid over to, or retained by, the
Company. In the event of an Event of Loss of an Engine resulting from the
requisition for use by a government of such Engine (but not the Airframe), the
Company will replace such Engine hereunder by complying with the terms of Section 3.4(e)
hereof and any payments received by the Collateral Agent or the Company from
such government with respect to such requisition shall be paid over to, or
retained by, the Company.

 

19

 

(f)                                    Application
of Payments During Existence of Event of Default.

 

Any amount
referred to in this Section 3.5 which is payable to the Company (or any
Lessee) shall not be paid to or retained by the Company (or such Lessee), if at
the time of such payment or retention an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, but shall be held by or paid over to the Collateral Agent as
security for the Obligations and, if the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
the Notes shall be declared to be due and payable pursuant to Section 4.2
hereof, applied against the Obligations as and when due. Upon the earlier of (a)
such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or (b) the
termination of this Mortgage in accordance with Section 8.1, such amount,
and any interest realized thereon pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, shall be
paid over to the Company (or such Lessee) to the extent not previously applied
in accordance with the preceding sentence.

 

Section 3.6.                                   Insurance.

 

(a)                                  Public
Liability and Property Damage Insurance.

 

(I)                                    Except as provided in clause
(II) of this Section 3.6(a), the Company will carry or cause to be carried
at its or any Lessee’s expense (i) aircraft public liability (including,
without limitation, passenger legal liability) (and including aircraft war risk
and hijacking insurance, if and to the extent the same is maintained by the
Company (or any Lessee) with respect to other aircraft owned or leased, and
operated by the Company (or such Lessee) on the same routes, or if the Company
(or any Lessee) shall at any time operate the Aircraft, the Airframe or any
Engine in any war zone or area of recognized or threatened hostilities)
insurance and property damage insurance (exclusive of manufacturer’s product
liability insurance) with respect to the Aircraft, in an amount not less than
the greater of (x) the per occurrence amount of public liability and property
damage insurance from time to time applicable to aircraft owned or operated by
the Company of the same type as the Aircraft and (y) the amount set forth in Section 8.19
of the Credit Agreement, and (ii) cargo liability insurance, in the case of
both clause (i) and clause (ii), (A) of the type and covering the same risks as
from time to time applicable to aircraft operated by the Company of the same
type as the Aircraft and (B) which is maintained in effect with insurers of
recognized responsibility. Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with
this paragraph (a) and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement
for any of such policies (A) shall be amended to name the Collateral Agent (but
without imposing on any such party liability to pay the premiums for such
insurance) (and, if any Lease shall be in effect, the Company in its capacity
as lessor under the Lease) as an additional insured as its interest may appear,
(B) shall provide that in respect of the interest of the Collateral Agent (and,
if any Lease shall be in effect, the Company in its capacity as lessor under
the Lease) in such policies the insurance shall not be invalidated by any
action or inaction of the Company (or, if any Lease is then in effect, any Lessee)
or any other Person and shall insure the Collateral Agent (and, if any Lease
shall be in effect, the Company in its capacity as lessor under the Lease)
regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition
contained in such policies by the Company (or, if any Lease is then in effect,
any Lessee), (C) may provide for self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 3.6(d)
and (D) shall provide that, except to the extent not provided for by the
Company’s war risk and hijacking insurance provider in the event that the
Company maintains war risk and hijacking insurance required above, if the
insurers cancel such insurance for any reason whatever or if any material
change is made in such insurance which

 

20

 

adversely affects the interest of the
Collateral Agent (or, if any Lease shall be in effect, the Company in its
capacity as lessor under the Lease), or such insurance shall lapse for non-payment
of premium, such cancellation, lapse or change shall not be effective as to the
Collateral Agent (or, if any Lease shall be in effect, the Company in its
capacity as lessor under the Lease) for thirty (30) days (seven (7) days in the
case of war risk and allied perils coverage) after issuance to the Collateral
Agent of written notice by such insurers of such cancellation, lapse or change;
provided, however, that if any
notice period specified above is not reasonably obtainable, such policies shall
provide for as long a period of prior notice as shall then be reasonably
obtainable. Each liability policy (1) shall be primary without right of
contribution from any other insurance which is carried by the Collateral Agent
or the Noteholders (or, if any Lease shall be in effect, the Company in its capacity
as lessor under the Lease), (2) shall expressly provide that all of the
provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same
manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured, and (3) shall
waive any right of the insurers to any set-off or counterclaim or any other
deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of
the Collateral Agent or the Noteholders (or, if any Lease shall be in effect,
the Company in its capacity as lessor under the Lease) to the extent of any
moneys due to the Collateral Agent (or, if any Lease shall be in effect, the
Company in its capacity as lessor under the Lease).  To the extent that the Company maintains war
risk and hijacking insurance and the Company’s war risk and hijacking insurance
provider does not provide for the provision of direct notice to the Collateral
Agent of cancellation, material change or lapse in the insurance required
hereunder, the Company hereby agrees that upon receipt of notice of any thereof
from such insurance provider it shall give the Collateral Agent immediate
notice of each cancellation or lapse of, or material change to, such insurance.

 

(II)                                During any period that the
Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation, the Company may carry or cause
to be carried, in lieu of the insurance required by clause (I) above, insurance
otherwise conforming with the provisions of said clause (I) except that (A) the
amounts of coverage shall not be required to exceed the amounts of public liability
and property damage insurance from time to time applicable to aircraft owned or
operated by the Company of the same type as the Aircraft and which are on the
ground and not in operation; and (B) the scope of the risks covered and the
type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time shall be applicable to
aircraft owned or operated by the Company of the same type which are on the
ground and not in operation.

 

(b)                                 Insurance
Against Loss or Damage to the Aircraft.

 

(I)                                    Except as provided in clause
(II) of this Section 3.6(b), the Company shall maintain or cause to be
maintained in effect, at its or any Lessee’s expense, with insurers of
recognized responsibility, all-risk ground and flight aircraft hull insurance
covering the Aircraft and all-risk ground and flight coverage of Engines and
Parts while temporarily removed from the Aircraft and not replaced by similar
components (including, without limitation, war risk and governmental
confiscation and expropriation (other than by the government of registry of the
Aircraft) and hijacking insurance, if and to the extent the same is maintained
by the Company (or, if a Lease is then in effect, any Lessee) with respect to
other aircraft owned or operated by the Company (or such Lessee) on the same
routes, except that the Company (or such Lessee) shall maintain war risk and
governmental confiscation and expropriation (other than by the government of
registry of the Aircraft) and hijacking insurance if the Aircraft is operated
on

 

21

 

routes where the custom is for major
international air carriers flying comparable routes to carry such insurance, or
if the Company (or any Lessee) shall at any time operate the Aircraft, the
Airframe or any Engine in any war zone or area of recognized or threatened
hostilities) which is of the type as from time to time applicable to aircraft
owned or operated by the Company of the same type as the Aircraft; provided that such insurance shall at all
times while the Aircraft is subject to this Mortgage be for an amount (subject
to self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 3.6(d)) not less than
100% of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes (the “Loan
Loss Value”). Any policies carried in accordance with this paragraph (b)
covering the Aircraft and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement
for any such policies (i) shall be amended to name the Collateral Agent as an
additional insured, as its interest may appear (but without imposing on any such
party liability to pay premiums with respect to such insurance), (ii) may
provide for self-insurance to the extent permitted in Section 3.6(d),
(iii) shall provide that (A) in the event of a loss involving proceeds in
excess of $3,500,000 (or, if the Aircraft is then under a Lease, in excess of
$2,000,000), the proceeds in respect of such loss up to an amount equal to the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes, plus all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon and any other Obligations (including any Obligation
arising under Section 8.4(c) of the Credit Agreement) then due and payable
(the “Balance Due”), shall be payable to the Collateral Agent (except in the
case of a loss with respect to an Engine installed on an airframe other than
the Airframe, in which case the Company (or any Lessee) shall arrange for any
payment of insurance proceeds in respect of such loss to be held for the
account of the Collateral Agent whether such payment is made to the Company (or
any Lessee) or any third party), it being understood and agreed that in the
case of any payment to the Collateral Agent otherwise than in respect of an
Event of Loss, the Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to it that the damage giving rise to such payment shall have been
repaired or that such payment shall then be required to pay for repairs then
being made, pay the amount of such payment to the Company or its order, and (B)
the entire amount of any loss involving total proceeds of $3,500,000 (or, if
the Aircraft is then under a Lease, of $2,000,000) or less or the amount of any
proceeds of any loss in excess of the Balance Due shall be paid to the Company
or its order unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and the insurers shall have been notified thereof by the Collateral Agent, (iv)
shall provide that, except to the extent not provided for by the Company’s hull
war risk and hijacking insurance provider in the event that the Company
maintains hull war risk and hijacking insurance, if the insurers cancel such
insurance for any reason whatever, or such insurance lapses for non-payment of
premium or if any material change is made in the insurance which adversely
affects the interest of the Collateral Agent, such cancellation, lapse or
change shall not be effective as to the Collateral Agent (or, if any Lease
shall be in effect, the Company in its capacity as lessor under the Lease) for
thirty (30) days (seven (7) days in case of hull war risk and allied perils
coverage) after issuance to the Collateral Agent (or, if any Lease is in
effect, the Company in its capacity as lessor under the Lease) of written
notice by such insurers of such cancellation, lapse or change; provided, however, that if any notice
period specified above is not generally obtainable, such policies shall provide
for as long a period of prior notice as shall then be generally obtainable, (v)
shall provide that in respect of the interest of the Collateral Agent (and, if
any Lease shall be in effect, the Company in its capacity as lessor under the
Lease) in such policies the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or
inaction of the Company (or, if a Lease is then in effect, any Lessee) or any
other Person and shall insure the Collateral Agent (and, if any Lease shall be in
effect, the Company in its capacity as lessor under the Lease) regardless of
any breach or

 

22

 

violation of any warranty, declaration or
condition contained in such policies by the Company (or, if a Lease is then in
effect, any Lessee), (vi) shall be primary without any right of contribution
from any other insurance which is carried by the Collateral Agent or the
Noteholders (or, if any Lease shall be in effect, the Company in its capacity
as lessor under the Lease), (vii) shall waive any right of subrogation of the
insurers against the Collateral Agent or the Noteholders (and if any Lease
shall be in effect, the Company in its capacity as lessor under the Lease), and
(viii) shall waive any right of the insurers to set-off or counterclaim or any
other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any
liability of the Collateral Agent or the Noteholders or the Company (or any
Lessee) to the extent of any moneys due to the Collateral Agent. To the extent
that the Company maintains hull war risk and hijacking insurance and the
Company’s hull war risk and hijacking insurance provider does not provide for
the provision of direct notice to the Collateral Agent of cancellation,
material change or lapse in the insurance required hereunder, the Company
hereby agrees that upon receipt of notice of any thereof from such insurance
provider it shall give the Collateral Agent immediate notice of each
cancellation or lapse of, or material change to, such insurance.  In the case of a loss with respect to an
engine (other than an Engine) installed on the Airframe, the Collateral Agent
shall hold any payment to it of any insurance proceeds in respect of such loss
for the account of the Company or any other third party that is entitled to
receive such proceeds.

 

As between the
Collateral Agent and the Company, it is agreed that all insurance payments
received as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss will be applied as
follows:

 

(w)                               if
such payment is received as the result of an Event of Loss with respect to the
Airframe (or the Airframe and any Engines installed thereon) that has been or
is being replaced by the Company as contemplated by Section 3.5(a) hereof,
such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Collateral Agent and
upon completion of such replacement be paid over to the Company;

 

(x)                                   if
such payments are received with respect to the Airframe (or the Airframe and
the Engines installed thereon) that has not been or is not being replaced by
the Company as contemplated by Section 3.5(a) hereof, so much of such
payments remaining, after reimbursement of the Collateral Agent for reasonable
costs and expenses, as shall not exceed the Balance Due shall be applied in
reduction of the Company’s obligation to pay the Balance Due, if not already
paid by the Company, or, if already paid by the Company, shall be applied to
reimburse the Company for its payment of such Balance Due, and the balance, if
any, of such payments remaining thereafter will be paid over to, or retained
by, the Company (or if directed by the Company, any Lessee); and

 

(y)                                 if
such payments are received with respect to an Engine under the circumstances
contemplated by Section 3.4(e) hereof, so much of such payments remaining,
after reimbursement of the Collateral Agent for reasonable costs and expenses,
shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company (or if directed by the
Company, any Lessee); provided that
the Company shall have fully performed or, concurrently therewith, will fully
perform, the terms of Section 3.4(e) hereof with respect to the Event of
Loss for which such payments are made.

 

23

 

As between the
Collateral Agent and the Company, the insurance payments for any property
damage or loss to the Airframe or any Engine not constituting an Event of Loss
with respect thereto will be applied in payment for repairs or for replacement
property in accordance with the terms of Sections 3.2(c) and 3.4 hereof, if not
already paid for by the Company (or any Lessee), and any balance (or if already
paid for by the Company (or any Lessee), all such insurance proceeds) remaining
after compliance with such Sections with respect to such loss shall be paid to
the Company (or any Lessee if directed by the Company).

 

(II)                                During any period that the
Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation, the Company may carry or cause
to be carried, in lieu of the insurance required by clause (I) above, insurance
otherwise conforming with the provisions of said clause (I) except that the
scope of the risks and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to
time applicable to aircraft owned by the Company of the same type similarly on
the ground and not in operation; provided that
the Company shall maintain insurance against risk of loss or damage to the
Aircraft in an amount at least equal to the Loan Loss Value during such period
that the Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation.

 

(c)                                  Reports, etc.

 

The Company
will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Collateral Agent, on or before
the date of the Loan and on or before July 1, in each year thereafter
commencing July 1, 2004 a report, signed by Aon Risk Services, Inc. of
Minnesota, Marsh & McLennan, Incorporated or any other independent firm of
insurance brokers reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent (the “Insurance
Brokers”), describing in reasonable detail the insurance and reinsurance
then carried and maintained with respect to the Aircraft and stating the
opinion of such firm that the insurance then carried and maintained with
respect to the Aircraft complies with the terms hereof; provided, however, that (i) in the case of
war risk and hijacking insurance acquired by the Company from the FAA or other
instrumentality of the government of the United States, no opinion concerning
such coverage need be given and (ii) all information contained in the foregoing
report shall not be made available by the Collateral Agent or the Noteholders
to anyone except (A) to permitted transferees of the interest of the Collateral
Agent or the Noteholders who agree to hold such information confidential, (B)
to the Collateral Agent’s or the Noteholder’s counsel or independent public
accountants or independent insurance advisors who agree to hold such
information confidential or (C) as may be required by any statute, court or
administrative order or decree or governmental ruling or regulation. The
Company will cause such Insurance Brokers to agree to advise the Collateral
Agent in writing of any default in the payment of any premium and of any other
act or omission on the part of the Company of which it has knowledge and which
might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any commercial
insurance on the Aircraft. To the extent such agreement is reasonably
obtainable, the Company will also cause such Insurance Brokers to agree to
advise the Collateral Agent in writing at least thirty (30) days (seven (7)
days in the case of commercial war risk and allied perils coverage) prior to
the expiration or termination date of any commercial insurance carried and
maintained on the Aircraft pursuant to this Section 3.6. In addition, the
Company will also cause such Insurance Brokers to deliver to the Collateral
Agent, on or prior to the date of expiration of any commercial insurance policy
referenced in a previously delivered certificate of insurance, a new
certificate of insurance, substantially in the same form as delivered by the
Company to the Collateral Agent on the date of the Loan. In the event that the
Company or any

 

24

 

Lessee shall
fail to maintain or cause to be maintained insurance as herein provided, the
Collateral Agent may at its sole option provide such insurance and, in such
event, the Company shall, upon demand, reimburse the Collateral Agent for the
cost thereof to the Collateral Agent, without waiver of any other rights the
Collateral Agent may have.

 

(d)                                 Self-Insurance.

 

The Company
may self-insure by way of deductible, premium adjustment or franchise
provisions or otherwise (including, with respect to insurance maintained
pursuant to Section 3.6(b), insuring for a maximum amount which is less than
the Loan Loss Value) in the insurance covering the risks required to be insured
against pursuant to this Section 3.6 under a program applicable to all
aircraft in the Company’s fleet, but in no case shall the aggregate amount of
self-insurance in regard to insurance of the type referred to in Section 3.6(a)
and Section 3.6(b) exceed during any policy year, with respect to all of
the aircraft in the Company’s fleet (including, without limitation, the
Aircraft), the lesser of (a) *** % of the largest replacement value of any
single aircraft in the Company’s fleet or (b) *** % of the average aggregate
insurable value (during the preceding policy year) of all aircraft (including,
without limitation, the Aircraft) on which the Company carries insurance.  In addition, the Company (and any Lessee) may
self-insure to the extent of any applicable mandatory minimum per aircraft (or,
if applicable, per annum or other period) hull or liability insurance
deductible imposed by the aircraft hull or liability insurers.

 

(e)                                  Additional
Insurance by the Collateral Agent and the Company.

 

The Company
(and any Lessee) may at its own expense carry insurance with respect to its
interest in the Aircraft in amounts in excess of that required to be maintained
by this Section 3.6, so long as such excess insurance is not in conflict
with the insurance otherwise required hereunder.

 

(f)                                    Indemnification
by Government in Lieu of Insurance.

 

Notwithstanding
any provisions of this Section 3.6 requiring insurance, the Collateral
Agent agrees to accept, in lieu of insurance against any risk with respect to
the Aircraft, indemnification from, or insurance provided by, the United States
Government or any agency or instrumentality thereof or, upon the written
consent of the Collateral Agent, other government of registry of the Aircraft
or any agency or instrumentality thereof, against such risk in an amount which,
when added to the amount of insurance against such risk maintained by the
Company (or any Lessee) with respect to the Aircraft (including permitted self-insurance)
shall be at least equal to the amount of insurance against such risk otherwise
required by this Section 3.6.

 

(g)                                 Application of
Payments During Existence of an Event of Default.

 

Any amount
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 3.6 which is payable to or
retainable by the Company (or any Lessee) shall not be paid to or retained by
the Company (or any Lessee) if at the time of such payment or retention an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be held by or
paid over to the Collateral Agent as security for the Obligations and, if the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be declared to be

 

25

 

due and
payable pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, applied against the Obligations as
and when due. Upon the earlier of (a) such time as there shall not be
continuing any such Event of Default or (b) the termination of this Mortgage in
accordance with Section 8.1, such amount, and any interest realized
thereon pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, shall be paid to the Company (or
such Lessee) to the extent not previously applied in accordance with the
preceding sentence.

 

Section 3.7.                                   Filings.

 

The Company
will take, or cause to be taken, at the Company’s cost and expense, such action
with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and re-filing of this
Mortgage, each Mortgage Supplement and any financing statements or other
instruments as are necessary, or requested by the Collateral Agent and appropriate,
to maintain, so long as this Mortgage is in effect, the perfection of the Lien
created by this Mortgage, or will furnish to the Collateral Agent timely notice
of the necessity of such action, together with such instruments, in execution
form, and such other information as may be required to enable the Collateral
Agent to take such action.

 

Section 3.8.                                   Corporate
Existence.

 

The Company
shall at all times maintain its corporate existence except as permitted by Section 3.9
hereof.

 

Section 3.9.                                   Merger,
Consolidation.

 

The Company
shall not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or convey,
transfer or lease substantially all its assets as an entirety to any Person
unless:

 

(i)  
the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company
is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease
substantially all of the assets of the Company as an entirety shall be a
Certificated Air Carrier;

 

(ii)  
the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company
is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease
substantially all of the assets of the Company as an entirety shall execute and
deliver to the Collateral Agent an agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Collateral Agent containing an assumption by such successor
corporation or Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of
each covenant and condition of this Mortgage and the Notes and any other Loan
Document (to the extent any such covenant or condition in any such other Loan
Document pertains to the Loan or the Notes) to be performed or observed by the
Company;

 

(iii)  
immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

 

(iv)  
the Company shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent an Officer’s
Certificate, and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and the assumption agreement mentioned in
clause (ii)

 

26

 

above comply with this Section 3.9 and that all conditions
precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied
with.

 

Upon any
consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially
all of the assets of the Company as an entirety in accordance with this Section 3.9,
the successor corporation or Person formed by such consolidation or into which
the Company is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made
shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and
power of, the Company under this Mortgage with the same effect as if such
successor corporation or Person had been named as the Company herein. No such
conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of the assets of the Company
as an entirety shall have the effect of releasing the Company or any successor
corporation or Person which shall theretofore have become such in the manner
prescribed in this Section 3.9 from its liability in respect of any Loan
Document to which it is a party.

 

Section 3.10.                             Notice
of Change of the Company’s Location.

 

The Company
will notify the Collateral Agent of any change in the location of the Company
(for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) promptly after
making such change and in any event within a reasonable period of time prior to
the date by which it is necessary under applicable law to make any filing in
order to prevent the lapse of perfection (absent refiling) of financing
statements filed under or with respect to this Mortgage.

 

Section 3.11.                             Interests
in the Purchase Agreement.

 

The grant by
the Company to the Collateral Agent of the Company’s interests in and to the
Contract Rights as set forth in granting clause (b) of Section 2.1 hereof
is subject to the following:

 

(a)                                  If and so long as AVSA shall not
have received notice from the Collateral Agent in writing addressed to its
Chief Executive Officer at 2, rond Point Maurice Bellonte, 31700 Blagnac,
France that an Event of Default under this Mortgage has occurred and is
continuing, the Collateral Agent (1) authorizes the Company, on behalf of but
to the exclusion of the Collateral Agent, to exercise in the Company’s own name
the Contract Rights and (2) at the Company’s expense, shall cooperate with the
Company and take such actions as the Company reasonably deems necessary to
enable the Company to enforce the Contract Rights.

 

(b)                                 Effective upon the receipt by
AVSA of notice from the Collateral Agent that an Event of Default under this
Mortgage has occurred and is continuing and thereafter until AVSA shall have
received written notice from the Collateral Agent that such Event of Default
has been cured or waived: (1) at the Collateral Agent’s option, the
authorization given to the Company under clause (a) of this Section 3.11
to enforce the Contract Rights shall henceforth cease to be effective and the
Collateral Agent and its successors and assigns, to the exclusion of the
Company, shall be entitled to assert and enforce Contract Rights as substitute
party plaintiff or otherwise and the Company, at the request of the Collateral
Agent or its successors or assigns and at the Company’s expense, shall
cooperate with and take such action as reasonably necessary to enable the

 

27

 

Collateral Agent and its successors and
assigns to enforce Contract Rights, and the Collateral Agent, if it shall elect
to enforce Contract Rights, shall use its best efforts to assert and enforce
Contract Rights, and (2) the Company will be deemed to have irrevocably
constituted the Collateral Agent and its successors and permitted assigns the
Company’s true and lawful attorney (it being acknowledged that such appointment
is coupled with an interest, namely the Collateral Agent’s rights acquired and
to be acquired hereunder) with full power (in the name of the Company or
otherwise) to ask, require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for
any and all monies and claims due and to become due under, or arising out of,
the Purchase Agreement in respect of the Aircraft, to the extent that the same
have been assigned under granting clause (b) of Section 2.1 of this
Mortgage, and for such period as the Collateral Agent may exercise rights with
respect thereto under this clause (2), to endorse any checks or other
instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take
any orders in connection therewith and to file any action or institute (or, if
previously commenced, assume control of) any proceedings and to obtain any
recovery in connection therewith with the Collateral Agent may deem to be
necessary or advisable in the premises.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding granting clause
(b) of Section 2.1, this Section 3.11 and anything in this Mortgage
to the contrary, all amounts that AVSA or the Manufacturer is obligated to pay
to the Company pursuant to the Contract Rights (a “Manufacturer Payment”)
will be payable and applicable as follows: all the Manufacturer Payments shall
be paid to the Company unless and until AVSA shall have received written notice
from the Collateral Agent that an Event of Default under this Mortgage has
occurred and is continuing, whereupon AVSA and the Manufacturer will make any
and all such payments directly to the Collateral Agent, until AVSA shall have
received written notice from the Collateral Agent that all Events of Default
under this Mortgage have been cured or waived. Any amounts received by the
Collateral Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, to the extent not
theretofore applied in satisfaction of the Obligations, shall be returned to
the Company promptly after all Events of Default hereunder have been cured or
waived.

 

(d)                                 For all purposes of this
Mortgage, AVSA shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a declaration of an
Event of Default under this Mortgage or of the discontinuance or waiver of an
Event of Default unless and until the Manufacturer shall have received written
notice addressed to AVSA as provided in paragraph (a) above, and in acting in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and this
Mortgage, AVSA and the Manufacturer may rely conclusively upon any such notice.

 

(e)                                  Anything herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding: (1) the Company shall at all times remain liable to
AVSA and the Manufacturer under the Purchase Agreement in respect of the
Aircraft to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same
extent as if this Mortgage had not been executed; (2) the exercise by the
Collateral Agent of any of the Company’s rights assigned hereunder shall not
release the Company from any of its duties or obligations to AVSA or the
Manufacturer under the Purchase Agreement in respect of the Aircraft except to
the extent that such exercise by the Collateral Agent shall constitute
performance of such duties and obligations; and (3) except as provided in
clause (f) of this Section 3.11, the Collateral

 

28

 

Agent shall not have any obligation or
liability under the Purchase Agreement by reason of, or arising out of, this
Mortgage or be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the
Company under the Purchase Agreement or to make any payment or make any inquiry
as to the sufficiency of any payment received by it or to present or to file
any claim or to take any other action to collect or enforce any claim for any
payment assigned hereunder.

 

(f)                                    Without in any way releasing the
Company from any of its duties or obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the
Collateral Agent confirms for the benefit of AVSA and the Manufacturer that,
insofar as the provisions of the Purchase Agreement relate to the Aircraft, in
exercising any rights under the Purchase Agreement, or in making any claim with
respect to the Aircraft or other goods and services delivered or to be
delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the terms and conditions of the
Purchase Agreement shall apply to, and be binding upon, the Collateral Agent to
the same extent as the Company.

 

(g)                                 Nothing contained in this
Mortgage shall (1) subject AVSA or the Manufacturer to any liability to which
it would not otherwise be subject under the Purchase Agreement or (2) modify in
any respect AVSA’s or the Manufacturer’s contract rights thereunder.

 

Section 3.12.                             General
Covenant.  The Company agrees to
timely pay and perform each of its covenants and agreements contained in the
other Loan Documents.

THE COLLATERAL AGENT

UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT

 

Section 4.1.                                   Event of Default.  Each of the following events shall constitute
an Event of Default (whether any such event shall be voluntary or involuntary
or come about or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to or in
compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule
or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) and each such Event
of Default shall continue so long as, but only as long as, it shall not have
been remedied:

 

(a)                                  the Company shall fail to make
any payment within ten (10) days after the same shall have become due of
principal of, or interest on, any Notes; or the Company shall fail to make any
payment when the same shall become due of any other Obligations, and such
failure shall continue unremedied for twenty-five (25) days after the receipt
by the Company of written notice thereof from the Collateral Agent or the
Administrative Agent; or

 

(b)                                 the Company shall have failed to
perform or observe (or caused to be performed and observed) in any material
respect any covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by it under this
Mortgage or the Credit Agreement, and such failure shall continue unremedied
for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by the

 

29

 

Company of written notice thereof from the
Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent; provided,
however, that if the Company shall have undertaken to cure any such
failure which arises under Section 3.2(c), or under the first sentence of Section 3.2(b)
as it relates to maintenance, service, repair or overhaul or under Section 3.4(a),
(b), (c) or (d) hereof and, notwithstanding the diligence of the Company in
attempting to cure such failure, such failure is not cured within said thirty-day
period but is curable with future due diligence, there shall exist no Event of
Default under this Section 4.1(b) so long as the Company is proceeding
with due diligence to cure such failure and such failure is remedied not later
than one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt by the Company of such written
notice; or

 

(c)                                  any representation or warranty
made by the Company herein or in the Credit Agreement or any document or
certificate furnished by the Company in connection herewith or therewith or
pursuant hereto or thereto shall prove to have been incorrect in any material
respect at the time made and such incorrectness shall not have been cured (to
the extent of the adverse impact of such incorrectness on the interests of the
Lenders) within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a written
notice from the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent advising the
Company of the existence of such incorrectness; or

 

(d)                                 the commencement of an
involuntary case or other proceeding in respect of the Company in an
involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter
constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law in the United States or seeking the appointment of a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar
official) of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or
seeking the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs and the continuation of
any such case or other proceeding undismissed and unstayed for a period of
ninety (90) consecutive days or an order, judgment or decree shall be entered
in any proceeding by any court of competent jurisdiction appointing, without
the consent of the Company, a receiver, trustee or liquidator of the Company,
or of any substantial part of its property, or sequestering any substantial
part of the property of the Company and any such order, judgment or decree or
appointment or sequestration shall be final or shall remain in force
undismissed, unstayed or unvacated for a period of ninety (90) days after the
date of entry thereof; or

 

(e)                                  the commencement by the Company
of a voluntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now constituted or
hereafter amended, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law in the United States, or the consent by the
Company to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the
Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or the making by the
Company of any assignment for the benefit of creditors or the Company shall
take any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing; or

 

(f)                                    the Company shall fail to carry
and maintain on or with respect to the Aircraft (or cause to be carried and
maintained) insurance required to be maintained in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.6 hereof and such failure shall continue

 

30

 

unremedied for a period of fifteen (15) days
after receipt by the Company of written notice thereof from the Collateral
Agent; or

 

(g)                                 for so long as the Loan is then
held in whole or in part by a Lender (or Lenders) who controls at such time the
ability to accelerate the Loan, the maturity of any other Airbus Loan then held
in whole or in part by a Lender (or Lenders) who controls at such time the
ability to accelerate such other Airbus Loan shall have been accelerated;

 

provided, however, that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.1(b) or (c) hereof, any
failure of the Company to perform or observe any covenant, condition, agreement
or any error in a representation or warranty shall not constitute an Event of
Default if such failure or error is caused solely by reason of an event that
constitutes an Event of Loss so long as the Company is continuing to comply
with all of the terms of Section 3.5 hereof.

 

Section 4.2.                                   Remedies
with Respect to Collateral.

 

(a)                                  Remedies Available.

 

Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter so long as the
same shall be continuing, the Collateral Agent (in accordance with the
provisions of Article 5 hereof) may, and upon the written instructions of
a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Collateral Agent shall, do one or
more of the following; provided, however,
that during any period the Aircraft is subject to the Civil Reserve Air Fleet
Program in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2(a) hereof and in
possession of the United States government or an agency or instrumentality of
the United States, the Collateral Agent shall not, on account of any Event of
Default, be entitled to exercise any of the remedies specified in the following
clauses (A), (B) and (C) in such manner as to limit the Company’s control under
this Mortgage of the Airframe or any Engines installed thereon, unless at least
sixty (60) days’ (or such lesser period as may then be applicable under the Air
Mobility Command program of the United States Air Force) written notice of
default hereunder shall have been given by the Collateral Agent by registered
or certified mail to the Company (and any Lessee) with a copy addressed to the
Contracting Office Representative for the Air Mobility Command of the United
States Air Force under any contract with the Company (or by Lessee) relating to
the Aircraft:

 

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

 

31

 

returned only to a location within the
continental United States, and such engine shall be held for the account of any
such owner, lessor, lienor or secured party or, if owned by the Company, may at
the option of the Collateral Agent, be exchanged with the Company for an Engine
in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4(e) hereof;

 

(B)                                sell
all or any part of the Airframe and any Engine or other Collateral at public or
private sale, whether or not the Collateral Agent shall at the time have
possession thereof, as the Collateral Agent may determine, or lease or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Airframe or such Engine or other
Collateral as the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine, all
free and clear of any rights or claims of whatsoever kind of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall
be entitled at any time prior to any such disposition to redeem the Collateral
by paying in full all of the Obligations; and/or

 

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

 

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

 

In addition,
the Company shall be liable for all legal fees and other costs and expenses
incurred by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of
the

 

32

 

Collateral
Agent’s remedies with respect thereto, including all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the retaking or return of the Airframe or any
Engine in accordance with the terms hereof or under applicable law, including
without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, which
amounts shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Mortgage.

 

If an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Notes shall have been
accelerated pursuant to this Section 4.2, at the request of the Collateral
Agent the Company shall promptly execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent
such instruments of title and other documents as the Collateral Agent may deem
necessary or advisable to enable the Collateral Agent or an agent or
representative designated by the Collateral Agent, at such time or times and
place or places as the Collateral Agent may specify, to obtain possession of
all or any part of the Collateral to which the Collateral Agent shall at the
time be entitled hereunder. If the Company shall for any reason fail to execute
and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by the Collateral
Agent, the Collateral Agent may obtain a judgment conferring on the Collateral
Agent the right to immediate possession and requiring the Company to execute
and deliver such instruments and documents to the Collateral Agent, to the
entry of which judgment the Company hereby specifically consents to the fullest
extent it may lawfully do so.

 

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

 

(b)                                 Notice of Sale.

 

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

 

(c)                                  Receiver.

 

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

 

(d)                                 Concerning Sales.

 

At any sale
under this Article, any Lender or the Collateral Agent or the Administrative
Agent may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale, may make payment
on account thereof as herein provided, and, upon compliance with the terms of
sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further
accountability therefor.  Any purchaser
shall be entitled, for the purpose of making payment for the property
purchased, to deliver any of the Notes in lieu of cash in the amount which
shall be payable thereon as principal or interest.  Said

 

33

at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, or redemption law now or hereafter in
force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Mortgage or the
absolute sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, or the possession thereof

every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or
hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right,
power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be
exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed
expedient by the Collateral Agent, and the exercise or the beginning of the
exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the
right to exercise at the time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy.
No delay or omission by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any right,
remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right,
power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of
the Company or to be an acquiescence therein.

 

Section 4.5.                                   Discontinuance of
Proceedings.

 

If the
Collateral Agent shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy
under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings
shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then and in every
such case the Company and the Collateral Agent shall be restored to their
former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the property, subject to
the Lien of this Mortgage, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
Collateral Agent shall continue, as if no such proceedings had been undertaken

Upon Event of Default.

 

Subject to the
terms of Sections 4.2 and 5.3 hereof, the Collateral Agent shall take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to an Event of Default
(including with respect to the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder),
as the Collateral Agent shall be instructed in writing by a Majority in
Interest of Noteholders. If the Collateral Agent shall not have received
instructions as above provided within twenty (20) days after the mailing of any
request for such instructions to the Noteholders, the Collateral Agent may,
subject to instructions thereafter received pursuant to the preceding
provisions of this Section 5.1, but shall not be obligated to, take such

in such instructions and permitted by this Mortgage: (i) give such notice,
direction or consent, or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder or,
subject to the provisions of Article 2 and Section 3.11 hereof, in
respect of all or any part of the Collateral, or  (ii) take such other action as shall be
specified in such instruction; it being understood that without the written
instructions of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders the Collateral Agent
shall not take any action pursuant to this Section 5.2. The Collateral
Agent will execute and file or cause to be filed (at the expense of the
Company) such continuation statements with respect to financing statements
relating to the security interest created hereunder in the Collateral as may be

The Collateral
Agent shall not be required to take any action or refrain from taking any
action under Section 5.1 or 5.2 or Article 4 hereof if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of any funds expended by it or
adequate indemnification against any risks incurred in connection therewith is
not reasonably assured to it. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to
take any action under Section 5.1 or 5.2 or Article 4 hereof, nor
shall any other provision of this Mortgage be deemed to impose a duty on the
Collateral Agent to take any action, if the Collateral Agent shall have been
advised in writing by independent counsel that such action is contrary to the
terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to law.

 

Section 5.4.                                   No

the terms of this Mortgage or as expressly provided in written instructions
received pursuant to the terms of Section 5.1 or 5.2 hereof; and

 

35

 

no implied
duties or obligations shall be read into this Mortgage against the Collateral
Agent. The Collateral Agent nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost
and expense, promptly take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge
any Liens on any part of the Collateral, or on any properties of the Company
assigned, pledged or mortgaged as part of the Collateral, which result from
claims against the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity not related to
the administration of the Collateral or any other transaction under this
Mortgage or any document included in the Collateral.

 

Section 5.5.                                   No

Executive, and Executive agrees to continue to serve the Company, on the terms
and conditions set forth herein.

 

1.2                                 Position and Duties.  During the term of Executive’s employment
hereunder, Executive shall continue to have his title, powers and duties as on
the Effective Date or such other powers and duties as may from time to time be
prescribed by the Company, provided that such powers and duties are
consistent with or represent a promotion from Executive’s powers and duties as
of the Effective Date, unless otherwise consented to in writing by Executive; provided,
however, that as long as Executive retains a substantial portion of his
then current oversight responsibility, the Company shall be permitted to
transfer a portion of Executive’s oversight responsibility without the consent
of Executive.  Executive shall devote
substantially all his working time and effort to the business and affairs of
the Company and its affiliates.

 

2.               Compensation.

 

2.1                                 Base Salary.  Executive’s Base Salary shall be his base
salary in effect on the Effective Date, as increased thereafter by the
Company.  Executive’s Base Salary in
effect from time to time may only be reduced in connection with a base wage
reduction for salaried employees of the Company, by an amount not to exceed 20%
of Base Salary in effect on the date of such wage reduction.  For purposes of calculating any other
payments or benefits hereunder (except as specified in Section 2.4) any
reductions in Base Salary shall be disregarded. 
Executive’s Base Salary shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s
payroll policies.

 

2.2                                 Bonus.  Executive shall be entitled to participate in
the Company’s Key Employee Annual Cash Incentive Plan (the “KEACIP”) or any
successor annual bonus plan, the terms and conditions of which shall be
established by the Board from time to time.

 

2.3                                 Expenses.  During the term of Executive’s employment
hereunder, Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursements for all
reasonable expenses incurred in performing services hereunder, provided
that Executive properly accounts therefor in accordance with Company policy.

 

2.4                                 Compensation and
Benefit Programs of the Company. 
Except as set forth below, Executive shall continue while employed
hereunder to participate in the Company’s

 

 

employee compensation and benefit programs (or any successor programs)
at levels in effect on the Effective Date. 
Exceptions to the preceding sentence are:

 

(a)                                  Amounts payable to
Executive under the Company’s benefit programs may be reduced to reflect a
benefit reduction for salaried employees of the Company, in the same manner
that salaried employees are generally affected by such reduction.

 

(b)                                 Executive shall not
participate in any severance pay plan or annual bonus plan maintained by the
Company except to the extent necessary to receive any severance or bonus
payments specifically provided for hereunder.

 

3.               Airline Pass.

hereunder is terminated by the Company other than for Cause prior to such date,
Executive shall be entitled to receive upon termination of employment lifetime
airline pass privileges for the personal use of Executive and his or her spouse
or registered domestic partner and dependent children so long as spouses,
registered domestic partners and dependent children of employees generally are
eligible for nonrevenue travel pursuant to the Company’s pass policies
(hereinafter, “Eligible Individuals”). 
Such airline pass privileges (the “Airline Pass”) shall entitle
Executive and Eligible Individuals to travel on regularly scheduled Northwest
domestic and international flights, subject to all charges and fees then
applicable to active management employees of the Company and their dependents
and pursuant to the Company’s pass policies in effect from time to time, with
boarding priority of (i) F-1 or the equivalent thereof for ten (10)
years from and after the date such pass is issued, (ii) Y-1/F-2 or the
equivalent thereof for the next succeeding ten (10) years, and
(iii) 2-R or the equivalent thereof after the aggregate twenty-year period
described in clauses (i) and (ii) above. 
Executive shall be responsible for any personal income tax liability
arising from such pass travel. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all benefits under this Section 3
shall immediately and permanently cease in the event Executive violates the
Company’s pass policies in connection with such travel and/or in the event that
Executive is or becomes, at any time thereafter, an employee of any of the top
five airlines in the United States (other than the Company) ranked by revenue
passenger miles.

otherwise be payable to Executive; provided, however, that 100%

required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 5.2
by seeking other employment or otherwise, and no such payment shall be offset
or reduced as a result of Executive obtaining new employment.

or for the account of any other person or entity, without the prior written
consent of the Company or except as required by law.  This confidentiality covenant has no temporal
or geographical restriction.  For purposes
of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean all non-public
information respecting the Company’s business, including, but not limited to,
its services, pricing, scheduling, products, research and development,
processes, customer lists, marketing plans and strategies, financing plans and
the terms and provisions of this Agreement, but excluding information that is,
or becomes, available to the public (unless such availability occurs through an
unauthorized act on the part of the Executive). 
Upon termination of this Agreement, Executive shall promptly supply to
the Company all property and any other tangible product or document that has
been produced by, received by or otherwise submitted to Executive during or
prior to his term of employment, and shall not retain any copies thereof.

 

Executive
acknowledges that his services are of special, unique and extraordinary value
to the Company.  Accordingly, Executive
shall not at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Date of Termination
(i) become an employee, consultant, officer, partner or director of any air
carrier which competes with the Company (or any of its affiliates) or (ii)
whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any
person, company, business

 

4

 

entity or
other organization whatsoever, directly or indirectly solicit or encourage any
employee of the Company or its affiliates to leave the employment of the
Company or its affiliates.

 

While employed
by the Company and thereafter, Executive agrees not to make any untruthful or
disparaging statements, written or oral, about the Company, its affiliates,
their predecessors or successors or any of their past and present officers,
directors, stockholders, partners, members, agents and employees or the Company’s
business practices, operations or personnel policies and practices to any of
the Company’s customers, clients, competitors, suppliers, investors, directors,
consultants, employees, former employees, or the press or other media in any
country.

 

Executive
agrees that any breach of the terms of this Section 6 would result in
irreparable injury and damage for which there would be no adequate remedy at
law, and that, in the event of said breach or any threat of breach, the Company
shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent
such breach or threatened breach, without having to prove damages, in addition
to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity.
Executive further agrees that the provisions of the covenant not to compete are
reasonable.  Should a court determine,
however, that any provision of the covenant not to compete is unreasonable,
either in period of time, geographical area, or otherwise, the parties hereto
agree that the covenant should be interpreted and enforced to the maximum
extent which such court deems reasonable. 
The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive any termination of
this Agreement and Executive’s term of employment.  The existence of any claim or cause of action
or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of the
covenants and agreements of this Section 6.

 

7.               Successors
and Assigns.

 

(a)  This
Agreement shall bind any successor to the Company, whether by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise, in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be obligated under this Agreement if no such succession had taken
place.

 

(b)  This
Agreement shall not be assignable by Executive. 
This Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder shall inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by, Executive’s personal or legal
representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributes,
devises and legatees.

 

8.               Term.

 

The term of
this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and end upon the Executive’s
termination of employment.  The rights
and obligations of the Company and Executive shall survive the termination of
this Agreement to the fullest extent necessary to give effect to the terms
hereof.

 

9.               Notices.

 

Notices and
all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and
