necessary or advisable (x) to perfect the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary
Guarantor’s or such Trust’s ownership interest therein and the Collateral Agent’s
security interest therein under the Laws of the State of Registration and (y)
otherwise to protect its interest therein as a matter of local law or customary
practice (such as the procurement of a deregistration power of attorney and any
necessary permits to import or export such aircraft from the applicable
jurisdiction), and all such steps, if customarily taken by major international
aircraft lessors in such jurisdictions, shall have been duly taken in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

renewals) in excess of 16 months, the Borrower shall have provided an opinion
of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (it being understood and agreed
that opinions that are customarily obtained with respect to such matters by
major international lessors with lessees in such jurisdiction shall be
acceptable to the Collateral Agent), addressed to the Collateral Agent, with
respect to the due execution, delivery and enforceability of such Lease under
the laws of the country of the Lessee’s organization, subject to customary
qualifications and assumptions and, if such registration or recordation is
stated by such counsel to be necessary or advisable to enforce the Assignment
of the Lease, the registration or recordation of the Assignment of Lease;

 

(iv)                              a
copy of such Lease has been delivered to the Collateral Agent;

 

(v)                                 such
Lease has been assigned to the Collateral Agent pursuant to an Assignment of
Lease and, in the case of a Assignment of Lease of an Engine, such Assignment
of Lease has been recorded with the FAA and, in the case of an Assignment of
Lease for an Aircraft (other than Aircraft which is an Exempted Property), (A)
such Assignment of Lease has been registered or recorded as stated to be
necessary or advisable by the opinion of counsel referred to in clause (iii)
above and (B) a Lessee Consent to Assignment has been obtained; and

(vi)                              with
respect to a Lease of an Aircraft (other than Aircraft which is an Exempted
Property), if the State of Registration of such Aircraft has adopted the Cape

The rights of any Lessee or other transferee
who receives possession by reason of a transfer permitted by this Section 2.04
shall be effectively subject and subordinate to, and any Lease permitted by
this Section 2.04 shall be expressly subject and subordinate to, all the terms
of this Security Agreement and to the Lien of this Security Agreement,
including, without limitation, the Collateral Agent’s rights to foreclosure and
repossession pursuant to Article III hereof and to avoid such Lease upon such
repossession, and the Borrower shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the
performance of all of the terms of this Security Agreement to the same extent
as if such Lease or transfer had not occurred. No pooling agreement, lease or
other relinquishment of possession of any Airframe or any Engine shall in any
way discharge or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to the Collateral
Agent hereunder or constitute a waiver of the Collateral Agent’s rights or
remedies hereunder. The Collateral Agent agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrower (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
Borrower (or any Lessee), any lessor of any engine (other than an Engine)
leased to the Borrower (or any Lessee) and any conditional vendor of any engine
(other than an Engine) purchased by the Borrower (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 Borrower (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 any 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 an
Airframe) leased to the Borrower (or any Lessee) or purchased by the Borrower
(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 Borrower (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.

Section 2.05.                         Maintenance
and Operation.

 

(a)                                  Maintenance. Borrower, at its own cost and expense, shall
(or shall cause any Lessee to):

 

(i)                                     maintain,
service, repair and overhaul (or cause to be maintained, serviced, repaired and
overhauled) the Aircraft and the Engines in accordance with a maintenance
program that is approved by the Aviation Authority of the State of Registration
and complies in all material respects to the maintenance program recommended by
the manufacturer of such Aircraft or Engine, as the case may be, so as to keep
the Aircraft and the Engines in good operating condition (except for ordinary
wear and tear), 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 during temporary periods of storage in accordance with applicable
regulations or during maintenance or modification permitted hereunder) under
the applicable laws of the State of Registration; and

 

(ii)                                  maintain
or cause to be maintained in the English language all records, logs and other
materials required to be maintained in respect of the Aircraft and the Engines
in a form consistent with the requirements of the Aviation Authority of the
State of Registration.

 

(b)                                 Operation. Neither
the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor nor any Trust will maintain, use,
service, repair, overhaul or operate the Aircraft and the Engines (or permit
any Lessee to maintain, use, service, repair, overhaul or operate the Aircraft
or the Engines) 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 or the Engines issued by the Aviation
Authority. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor nor any Trust will
knowingly or willfully operate the Aircraft or the Engines, or knowingly or
willfully permit any Lessee to operate the Aircraft or the Engines, in any area
excluded from coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 2.07.

 

(c)                                  Return Condition. Nothing contained in
this Section 2.05 shall be deemed to prohibit the Borrower, any Subsidiary
Guarantor or any Trust from waiving return conditions applicable on the
expiration or earlier termination of a Lease in exchange for a cash payment
from the Lessee thereunder in lieu of performance.

 

Section 2.06.                         Alterations, Modifications and Additions. The Borrower, at
its own expense, will make (or cause to be made) such alterations and
modifications in and additions to the Airframes and Engines as may be required
from time to time to meet the applicable standards of the FAA or any other
governmental authority having jurisdiction; provided, however,
that the Borrower (or, if a Lease is then in effect, 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 materially adversely affect the
first priority Lien of this Security Agreement and does not involve any
material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of the affected Eligible Equipment. In
addition, the

 

12

 

Borrower (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 any Airframe or any
Engine as the Borrower (or any Lessee) may deem desirable in the proper conduct
of its business, including, without limitation, removal of parts which the
Borrower (or any Lessee) has determined in its reasonable judgment to be
obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on such Airframe or
Engine (such parts, “Obsolete Parts”);
provided that no such alteration,
modification or addition shall diminish (other than in a de minimus amount) the
value or utility of such Airframe or Engine below the value or utility 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 Security Agreement. All parts incorporated or installed in or
attached or added to any Airframe or Engine as the result of such alteration,
modification or addition (the “Additional Parts”)
shall, without further act, become subject to the Lien of this Security
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Borrower (or any 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 substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or
attached to the appropriate Airframe or Engine on the date such Airframe or
Engine became subject to the Lien of this Security Agreement or any part in
replacement of, or 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 Sections 2.05 and 2.06 hereof or this Section
and (iii) can be removed from such Airframe or Engine without diminishing
or impairing the value or utility 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 were in the condition and
repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof.

 

Section
2.07.                         Insurance.

 

(a)                                  Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance. (I) Except
as provided in clause (II) of this Section 2.07(a), the Borrower will carry or
cause to be carried at its or any Lessee’s expense (i) liability insurance
(including, without limitation, passenger legal liability, third party legal
liability including property damage but excluding manufacturers’ product
liability and cargo liability, including if and to the extent the same is
maintained by the Borrower (or, if a Lease is then in effect, if and to the
extent maintained by Lessee) War and allied perils in an amount not less than
the greater of (x) the combined single limit from time to time applicable to
aircraft owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor (or, if
a Lease is in effect, by the Lessee) and (y) a combined single limit of
$150,000,000 of the type and covering the same risks as from time to time
applicable to aircraft or engines owned or operated by the Borrower (or, if a
Lease is then in effect, by Lessee) of the same type as the Aircraft and
Engines and 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 endorsed to name the Collateral Agent and each
Lender (but without imposing on any such parties liability to pay the premiums
for such insurance) (and, if any Lease shall be in effect, the Borrower in its
capacity as lessor under the Lease) as additional insureds as their respective
interests may appear, (B) shall provide that in respect of the interest of the
Collateral Agent and each Lender (and, if any Lease shall be in effect, the
Borrower in its capacity as lessor under the Lease) in such policies the
insurance shall

 

13

 

not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the
Borrower (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 Borrower 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 Borrower (or, if any Lease is then in effect, any Lessee), (C)
shall provide that, except to the extent not provided for by the Borrower’s war
risk, hijacking and related perils insurance provider, if the Borrower
maintains war risk, hijacking and related perils insurance, if the insurers cancel
such insurance for any reason whatever or if any material change is made in
such insurance which adversely affects the interest of the Collateral Agent or
any Lender (or, if any Lease shall be in effect, the Borrower 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 such Lender (or, if any Lease shall be in effect, the
Borrower 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 and each Lender (or, if any Lease shall be in effect, the
Borrower in its capacity as lessor under the Lease), respectively, 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, (D) shall be primary without right of
contribution from any other insurance which is carried by the Collateral Agent
or any Lender (or, if any Lease shall be in effect, the Borrower in its
capacity as lessor under the Lease), (E) 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 (F)
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 any Lender (or, if any Lease shall be in
effect, the Borrower in its capacity as lessor under the Lease) to the extent
of any moneys due to the Collateral Agent or any Lender (or, if any Lease shall
be in effect, the Borrower in its capacity as lessor under the Lease). To the
extent that the Borrower maintains war risk, hijacking and related perils
liability insurance and the Borrower’s war risk, hijacking and related perils
liability insurance provider does not provide for provision of direct notice to
the Collateral Agent and each Lender of cancellation, material change or lapse
in the insurance required hereunder, the Borrower hereby agrees that upon
receipt of notice of any thereof from such insurance provider it shall give the
Collateral Agent and each Lender immediate notice of each cancellation or lapse
of, or material change to, such insurance.

 

(II)                                During
any period that an Aircraft or Engine is on the ground and not in operation,
the Borrower 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 liability insurance from time to time
applicable to aircraft or engines owned or operated by the Borrower of the same
type as such Aircraft or Engine 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 or engines owned or
operated by the Borrower of the same type which are on the ground and not in
operation.

 

(b)                                 Insurance Against Loss or Damage to the Aircraft and Engines. (I) Except
as provided in clause (II) of this Section 2.07(b), the Borrower shall maintain
or cause

 

14

 

to be maintained in effect, at its or any Lessee’s
expense, with insurers of recognized responsibility, (A) all-risk ground and
flight aircraft hull insurance covering each Aircraft and Engine, (B) all-risk
ground - coverage of the Engines while removed from each Aircraft and replaced
by similar components and (C) all risk property damage insurance covering the
Aircraft and Engines (including, without limitation, with respect to any
Aircraft or Engine, war risk and governmental confiscation and expropriation
(other than by the government of registry of such Aircraft) and hijacking
insurance (with such limitations as are customary in the
industry)(collectively, “Hull War Risk Insurance”), if and to the extent the
same is maintained by the Borrower (or, if a Lease is then in effect, by
Lessee) with respect to other aircraft or engines owned or operated by the
Borrower (or such Lessee) on the same routes as such Aircraft or Engine is
operated, except that the Borrower (or such Lessee) shall maintain Hull War
Risk Insurance if such Aircraft is operated on routes where the custom is for
major international air carriers flying comparable routes to carry such
insurance) which is of the type as from time to time applicable to aircraft or
engines owned or operated by the Borrower (or, if a Lease is then in effect, by
Lessee) of the same type as such Aircraft or Engine; provided that such
insurance shall at all times while any Aircraft, or any Engine is subject to
this Security Agreement be for an amount (subject to self-insurance to the
extent permitted by Section 2.07(d)) not less than 105% of the allocable
contribution of such Aircraft and Engine to the Borrowing Base, subject to
standard deductibles. Any policies carried in accordance with this paragraph
(b) covering the Aircraft and Engines, and any policies taken out in substitution
or replacement for any such policies (i) shall name the Collateral Agent (and,
if any Lease shall be in effect, the Borrower in its capacity as lessor under
the Lease) as an additional insured, as its interest may appear (but without
imposing on such party liability to pay premiums with respect to such
insurance), (ii) shall provide that all proceeds with respect to a
Recovery Event shall be payable to the Collateral Agent for application
pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Senior Credit Agreement, (iii) shall
provide that 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 Borrower in its
capacity as lessor under the Lease) for thirty (30) days (seven (7) days in the
case of Hull War Risk Insurance coverage) after issuance to the Collateral
Agent and each Lender (or, if any Lease shall be in effect, the Borrower in its
capacity as lessor under the Lease), respectively, 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, (iv) shall provide that in respect of the interest of the
Collateral Agent and each Lender (and, if any Lease shall be in effect, the
Borrower in its capacity as lessor under the Lease) in such policies the
insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the Borrower
(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 Borrower
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 Borrower (or, if a Lease is then in effect, any Lessee), (v) shall waive
any right of subrogation of the insurers against the Collateral Agent and each
Lender (and, if any Lease shall be in effect, the Borrower in its capacity as
lessor under the Lease), and (vi) shall waive any right of the insurers to
set-off or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or
otherwise, in respect

 

15

 

of any liability of the Collateral Agent or the Borrower
(or any Lessee) to the extent of any moneys due to the Collateral Agent. To the
extent that the Borrower maintains Hull War Risk Insurance and the Borrower’s
Hull War Risk Insurance provider does not provide for provision of direct
notice to the Collateral Agent and each Lender of cancellation, material change
or lapse in the insurance required hereunder, the Borrower hereby agrees that
upon receipt of notice of any thereof from such insurance provider it shall
give the Collateral Agent and each Lender 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 an Airframe, the
Collateral Agent shall hold any payment to it of any insurance proceeds in
respect of such loss for the account of any third party that is entitled to
receive such proceeds.

 

As between the Collateral Agent and the Borrower, the
insurance payments for any property damage loss to any Airframe or Engine not
constituting a Recovery Event with respect thereto will be applied in payment
for repairs or for replacement property in accordance with the terms of
Sections 2.05 and 2.06, if not already paid for by the Borrower (or any Lessee
or insurer), and any balance (or if already paid for by the Borrower (or any
Lessee), all such insurance proceeds) remaining after compliance with such
Sections with respect to such loss shall be paid to the Borrower (or any Lessee
if directed by the Borrower).

 

(II)                                During
any period that an Aircraft or Engine is on the ground and not in operation,
the Borrower 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 or
engines owned or operated by the Borrower (or, if a Lease is then in effect, by
Lessee) of the same type similarly on the ground and not in operation, provided
that the Borrower shall maintain insurance against risk of loss or damage to
such Aircraft or Engine in an amount equal 105% of the allocable contribution
of such Aircraft or Engine to the Borrowing Base, subject to a standard
deductible.

 

(c)                                  Reports, etc. The Borrower will furnish, or cause to be
furnished, to the Collateral Agent and each Lender, on or before the Closing
Date and on or before April 1 in each year thereafter commencing April 1,
2007,  a certificate of insurance in
respect to aircraft and engines not on lease signed by Willis Limited on behalf
of the insurers or any other independent firm of insurance brokers reasonably
acceptable to the Collateral Agent (the “Insurance Brokers”), describing in
reasonable detail the insurance and, if applicable, reinsurance then carried
and maintained with respect to the Eligible Equipment. The Borrower will cause
such Insurance Brokers to agree to advise the Collateral Agent and each Lender
in writing of any default in the payment of any premium. To the extent such
agreement is reasonably obtainable, the Borrower will also cause such Insurance
Brokers to agree to advise the Collateral Agent and each Lender 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 any Eligible Equipment pursuant
to this Section 2.07; provided that, in respect of any commercial War Risk
Insurance, if the notice period specified above is not obtainable, the
Insurance Brokers shall provide for as long a period of notice as shall then be
obtainable. In addition, the Borrower will also cause such Insurance Brokers to
deliver to the Collateral Agent and each Lender, on or prior to the date of
expiration of any commercial

 

16

 

insurance policy referenced in a previously delivered
certificate of insurance, a new certificate of insurance, substantially in the
same form as delivered by the Borrower to such party on the Closing Date. In
the event that the Borrower or any Lessee shall fail to maintain or cause to be
maintained insurance as herein provided, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may
at its sole option provide such insurance and, in such event, the Borrower
shall, upon demand, reimburse the Collateral Agent or such Lender for the cost
thereof to Collateral Agent or such Lender, without waiver of any other rights
Collateral Agent or such Lender may have. The Collateral Agent agrees that
endorsements in accordance with AVN67B shall be acceptable.

 

(d)                                 In
addition the Borrower will provide a report signed by Willis Aviation
Consulting Limited or any other independent firm of insurance advisers
reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent (the “Insurance Advisers”)
stating the opinion of such firm that the insurance then carried by the
Borrower or any Lessee and maintained with respect to the Eligible Equipment
complies with the terms hereof; provided, however, (i) in the case of War Risk
Insurance acquired by the Borrower directly from the FAA or other
instrumentality of the United States, no opinion concerning such coverage,
other than the fact that the Borrower has acquired it, need be given and (ii)
that all information contained in the foregoing report shall not be made
available by the Collateral Agent or the Lender to anyone except (A) to
permitted transferees of the Lender or the Collateral Agent who agree to hold
such information confidential, (B) to the Lender’s or the Collateral Agent’s
counsel or independent certified public accountants or independent insurance
advisors who agree to hold such information confidential, (C) as may be
required by any statute, court or administrative order or decree or
governmental ruling or regulation or (D) to bank examiners and auditors.

 

(e)                                  Additional Insurance by the Borrower. The Borrower (and any
Lessee) may at its own expense carry insurance with respect to its interest in
the Eligible Equipment in amounts in excess of that required to be maintained
by this Section 2.07.

 

(f)                                    Indemnification by Government in Lieu of Insurance. Notwithstanding
any provisions of this Section 2.07 requiring insurance, the Collateral Agent
agrees to accept, in lieu of insurance against any risk with respect to the
Eligible Equipment, indemnification from, or insurance provided by, the United
States Government or any agency or instrumentality thereof or, in the case of
an Aircraft, upon the written consent of the Collateral Agent, other Country of
Registration of such 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 Borrower (or any Lessee) with respect to the
Eligible Equipment (including permitted self-insurance) shall be at least equal
to the amount of insurance against such risk otherwise required by this Section
2.07. The Borrower shall furnish (including by e-mail distribution) in advance
of attachment of such indemnity or insurance (or any renewal thereof), if
practical to do so or as soon thereafter as is practicable, copies of any
certificates of insurance evidencing any such indemnity or insurance, together
with such evidence as shall be required thereunder to cause the additional
insureds/loss payee hereunder to be named as additional insureds thereunder.

 

(g)                                 Aircraft and Engines being Parted Out. Aircraft
and engines which are both (i)  on the
ground and not in operation and (ii) either being disassembled for parts or
held on

 

17

 

consignment shall not be “Aircraft” or “Engines” for
which insurance is required to be obtained under this Section 2.07.

 

(h)                                 Aircraft and/or Engines on Lease on Closing Date. As
soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall cause each
Lessee of Aircraft Asset Leases in effect on the Closing Date to revise the
insurance maintained pursuant to such Aircraft Asset Leases to provide for the
endorsements in favor of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders required by this
Section 2.07. So long as the Borrower shall use all commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain such endorsements, the Borrower shall not be deemed in
default of its obligations hereunder as a result of the insurance being
maintained by such Lessee of a Aircraft Asset Lease entered into prior to the
Closing Date not providing for the endorsements in favor of the Collateral
Agent required by this Section 2.07.

 

Section
2.08.                         Inspection.

 

At all reasonable times and upon at least
15 Business Days prior written notice to the Borrower, the Collateral
Agent acting on behalf of all of the Lenders, and their authorized
representatives may inspect the Aircraft and the Engines in Borrower’s or any
Subsidiary Guarantor’s possession and inspect and make copies (at the
Collateral Agent’s expense unless an Event of Default shall be continuing, in
which case it shall be at the Borrower’s expense) of the books and records of
the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Trust relating to the
maintenance of the Aircraft and the Engines upon reasonable notice and at any
time during normal business hours and not more than once during any fiscal
quarter (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing). The
Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to make any such inspection nor shall
it incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making such inspection.
To the extent any Aircraft or Engine is subject to an Aircraft Asset Lease, the
Borrower shall (or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor of Trust) to
exercise the inspection rights set forth in such Aircraft Asset Lease at the
reasonable request of the Collateral Agent not more than once during any fiscal
quarter (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) to the
extent permitted under such Aircraft Asset Lease.

 

Section
2.09.                         Requisition,
etc.

 

In the event of the requisition for use by any
government, or any instrumentality or agency thereof, of an Airframe or an
Engine, so long as such Airframe or Engine is subject to the Lien of this
Security Agreement, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent of
such requisition, and all of the Borrower’s obligations under this Security
Agreement with respect thereto, shall continue to the same extent as if such
requisition had not occurred. All payments received by the Collateral Agent or
the Borrower from such government or instrumentality or agency thereof for the
use of such Airframe and Engines shall be paid over to, or retained by, the
Borrower (or, if directed by the Borrower, any Lessee).

 

Section
2.10.                         Status of Lease Default Equipment and
Impaired Aircraft Assets.

 

Any failure of the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor
or any Trust to perform or observe any covenant, condition, agreement or any
error in a representation or warranty under

 

18

 

this Agreement or any other Loan Agreement shall not
constitute a default hereunder or any other Loan Document or a Default or Event
of Default under the Credit Agreements to the extent such failure or error is
caused solely by reason of an event that causes an Aircraft Asset to be Lease
Default Equipment or an Impaired Aircraft Asset, so long as the Borrower is
complying with its obligations under Section 2.9(d) of the Senior Credit
Agreement and, unless such Aircraft Asset has a Borrowing Base Value of zero,
is exercising all commercially reasonable efforts to correct or remedy such
event.

 

ARTICLE III

REMEDIES OF COLLATERAL AGENT

 

Section
3.01.                         Remedies.

 

(a)                                  If
the Loans have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8 of the Senior Credit
Agreement, then in every such case, the Collateral Agent may do one or more of
the following, to the extent permitted by, and subject to compliance with any
mandatory requirements of, applicable law then in effect:

 

(i)                                     cause
the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor or Trust upon the written
demand of the Collateral Agent and at the Borrower’s or the relevant Subsidiary
Guarantor’s expense, to deliver promptly, and the Borrower shall deliver
promptly, the Collateral (or any portion thereof) as the Collateral Agent may
so demand to the Collateral Agent, or the Collateral Agent, at its option, may
enter upon the premises where all or any part of the Collateral is located and
take immediate possession (to the exclusion of the Borrower or the relevant
Subsidiary Guarantor or Trust and all Persons claiming under or through the
Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor or Trust) of and remove the same
by summary proceedings;

 

(ii)                                  subject
to the notice specified in Section 6.01, sell the Collateral (or any portion
thereof) 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 any Airframe, any Engine or
any Inventory as the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine,
all free and clear of any rights of the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary
Guarantor or Trust, except as hereinafter set forth in this Article III;
provided, however, that the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor or
Trust shall be entitled at any time prior to any such disposition to redeem the
Collateral by paying in full all of the Obligations; or

 

(iii)                               exercise any or all of
the rights and powers and pursue any and all remedies of a secured party under
the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York.

 

(b)                                 Any
Lender shall be entitled, at any sale pursuant to this Article III, to credit
against any purchase price bid at such sale by such holder all or any part of
the unpaid obligations owing to such Lender and secured by the Lien of this
Security Agreement. Any

 

19

 

Lender shall, upon any purchase, acquire good title to
the property so purchased, to the extent permitted by applicable law, free of
all rights of redemption.

 

(c)                                  In
the event of any sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, pursuant to any
judgment or decree of any court or otherwise in connection with the enforcement
of any of the terms of this Security Agreement, the unpaid principal amount of
all Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon, and other
amounts due thereunder, shall immediately become due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived.

 

(d)                                 Any
sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein, whether
pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale or otherwise hereunder, shall forever
be a bar against the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor, after the
expiration of the period, if any, during which the Borrower or the Subsidiary
Guarantor or Trust shall have the benefit of Section 3.01(a)(ii) hereof or any
redemption laws which may not be waived.

 

(e)                                  Any
sale or other conveyance of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent made
pursuant to the terms of this Security Agreement shall bind the Lenders and the
Borrower and the relevant Subsidiary Guarantors and Trusts and shall be
effective to transfer or convey all right, title and interest of the Borrower
and the relevant Subsidiary Guarantors. No purchaser or other grantee shall be
required to inquire as to the authorization, necessity, expediency or
regularity of such sale or conveyance or as to the application of any sale or
other proceeds with respect thereto by the Collateral Agent.

 

Section
3.02.                         Return
of Equipment, Etc.

 

(a)                                  If
the Loans have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8 of the Senior Credit
Agreement, at the request of the Collateral Agent, the Borrower and/or the
relevant Subsidiary Guarantors and/or Trusts 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 Borrower shall for any reason
fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request
by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may (i) obtain a judgment
conferring on the Collateral Agent the right to immediate possession and
requiring the Borrower to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to
the Collateral Agent, to the entry of which judgment the Borrower hereby
specifically consents to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and
(ii) pursue all or part of such Collateral wherever it may be found and may
enter any of the premises of the Borrower wherever such Collateral may be or be
supposed to be and search for such Collateral and take possession of and remove
such Collateral. All expenses of obtaining such judgment or of pursuing,
searching for and taking such property shall, until paid, be secured by the
Lien of this Security Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Upon
every such taking of possession, the Collateral Agent may, from time to time,
at the expense of the Collateral, make all such expenditures for maintenance,
use,

 

20

 

operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control,
management, disposition, modifications or alterations to and of the Collateral,
as it may deem proper. In each such case, the Collateral Agent shall have the
right to maintain, use, operate, store, insure, lease, control, manage, dispose
of, modify or alter the Collateral and to carry on the business and to exercise
all rights and powers of the Borrower and/or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantors
and/or Trusts relating to the Collateral, as the Collateral Agent shall deem
best, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with
respect to the maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing,
control, management, disposition, modification or alteration 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 Security Agreement 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 the maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing,
control, management, disposition, improvement, modification or alteration of
the Collateral and of conducting the business thereof, 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 Borrower), and all other payments which the Collateral Agent may be
required or authorized to make under any provision of this Security Agreement,
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
with respect hereto.

 

Section
3.03.                         Discontinuance of Proceedings. In
case the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any
right, power or remedy under this Security Agreement by foreclosure, entry or
otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for
any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent,
then and in every such case the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trusts
and the Collateral Agent shall, subject to any determination in such
proceedings, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with
respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Borrower,
the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trusts or the Collateral Agent shall continue as
if no such proceedings had been instituted.

 

Section
3.04.                         Appointment of Receiver. The
Collateral Agent shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to the appointment of
a receiver (who may be the Collateral Agent or any successor or nominee
thereof) for all or any part of the Collateral, whether such receivership be
incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or the taking of possession
thereof or otherwise, and the Borrower hereby consents to the appointment of
such a receiver and will not oppose any such appointment. Any receiver
appointed for all or any part of the Collateral shall be entitled to exercise
all the rights and powers of the Collateral Agent with respect to the
Collateral.

4.01.                         Application of Proceeds.

 

(a)                                  If
the Loans have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8 of the Senior Credit
Agreement, the Collateral Agent may apply the proceeds of any sale or other
disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, in the order of priorities:

 

first, to pay the expenses of such sale or
other disposition, including reasonable compensation to agents of and counsel
for the Collateral Agent, and all expenses, liabilities and advances incurred
or made by the Collateral Agent in connection with the Security Documents, and
any other amounts then due and payable to the Collateral Agent in connection
with the Security Documents;

 

second, to pay ratably all interest (including
post-petition interest) and all facility and other fees and indemnity amounts
payable in connection with the Senior Loans, until payment in full of all such
interest and other fees and indemnity amounts shall have been made;

 

third, to pay the unpaid principal on the
Senior Loans and all other Obligations (including in connection with Specified
Hedge Agreements) in connection with the Senior Loans;

 

fourth, to pay ratably all interest (including
post-petition interest) and all facility and other fees and indemnity amounts
payable in connection with the Junior Loans, until payment in full of all such
interest and other fees and indemnity amounts shall have been made;

 

fifth, to pay the unpaid principal on the
Junior Loans and all other Obligations in connection with the Junior Loans; and

 

finally, to pay to the Borrower or the
relevant Subsidiary Guarantor or Trust, or as a court of competent jurisdiction
may direct, any surplus then remaining from the proceeds of the Collateral
owned by it;

 

provided
that Collateral owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor and any proceeds thereof shall
be applied pursuant to the foregoing clauses first, second, third, fourth and
fifth, only to the extent permitted by the limitation in Section 2(j) of
the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. The Collateral Agent may make such
distributions hereunder in cash or in kind or, on a ratable basis, in any
combination thereof.

 

(b)                                 In
making the payments and allocations required by this Article, the Collateral
Agent may rely upon information supplied to it pursuant to Section 8.01(g).
All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article IV
shall be final (except in the event of manifest error) and the Collateral Agent
shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by either Agent or any
Lender of any amount distributed to it.

amount of any Taxes that the Collateral Agent may have been required to pay by
reason of the Liens created by the Security Documents or to free any Collateral

defend it against, any loss, liability or expense (including the reasonable
fees and expenses of its counsel and any experts or sub-agents appointed by it
hereunder) incurred or suffered by the Collateral Agent in connection with the
Security Documents, except to the extent that such loss, liability or expense
arises from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or a
breach of any duty of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement (after giving
effect to Articles VI and VII).

 

Any such amount not paid to the Collateral Agent on
demand will bear interest for each day thereafter until paid at the highest
rate of interest payable in connection with the Obligations under the Credit
Agreements.

Section
6.01.                         Authority

Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor and each Trust irrevocably appoints the
Collateral Agent its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution,
in the name of such Subsidiary Guarantor, any Lender or otherwise, for the sole
use and benefit of the Lender, but at the Borrower’s expense, to the extent
permitted by law to exercise, at any time and from time to time while an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or any of the following
powers with respect to

 

23

 

all or any of the
Borrower’s, such Subsidiary Guarantor’s or such Trust’s Collateral (to the
extent necessary to pay the Obligations in full):

 

(a)                                  to
demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquaintance for any and all monies
due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof;

(d)                                 to
extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance or
other adjustment with reference thereto;

 

provided
that, except in the case of Collateral that is perishable or threatens to
decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market,
the Collateral Agent will give the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary
Guarantor or Trust at least twenty days prior written notice of the time and
place of any public sale thereof or the time after which any private sale or
other intended disposition thereof will be made. The Collateral Agent and each
Subsidiary Guarantor agree that such notice shall be considered to have been “sent
within a reasonable time” pursuant to UCC Section 9-612. Such notice shall
(i) contain the information specified in UCC Section 9-613, (ii) be
Authenticated and (iii) be sent to the parties required to be notified pursuant
to UCC Section 9-611(c); provided that, if the Collateral Agent fails to
comply with this sentence in any respect, its liability for such failure shall
be limited to the liability (if any) imposed on it as a matter of law under the
UCC.

 

ARTICLE VII

LIMITATION ON DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL

 

Section
7.01.                         Limitation

the custody and preservation thereof, the Collateral Agent will have no duty as
to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control
of any sub-agent or bailee or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of
rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The
Collateral Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords
its own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage
to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any
act or omission of any sub-agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in
good faith or by reason of any act or omission by the Collateral Agent pursuant
to instructions from the Agents or the Lenders, except to the extent that such
liability arises from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

ARTICLE VIII

GENERAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING THE COLLATERAL AGENT

 

Section
8.01.                         General Provisions Concerning The Collateral
Agent.

 

(a)                                  Authority.
The Collateral Agent is authorized to take such actions and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of the Loan
Agreements, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.

 

(b)                                 Coordination
with Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent will promptly notify each Agent
of each notice or other communication received by the Collateral Agent
hereunder and/or deliver a copy thereof to such Agent. As to any matters not
expressly provided for herein (including (i) the timing and methods of
realization upon the Collateral, and (ii) the exercise of any power that the
Collateral Agent may, but is not expressly required to, exercise under any
Security Document), the Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting other
than in accordance with written instructions from the Agents or, in the absence
of such instructions, in accordance with its discretion (subject to the
following provisions of this Article VIII).

 

(c)                                  Rights
and Powers as a Lender. The Person serving as the Collateral Agent shall,
in its capacity as a Lender, have the same rights and powers as any other
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Collateral Agent. Such
Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally
engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or
their respective Affiliates as if it were not the Collateral Agent hereunder.

 

(d)                                 Limited
Duties and Responsibilities. The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties
or obligations under the Security Documents except those expressly set forth
therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Collateral
Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless
of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Collateral
Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated by the Security Documents that the Collateral Agent is required in
writing to exercise by the Agents, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the
Security Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to disclose,
and shall not be liable for any failure to disclose, any information relating
to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained
by the bank serving as Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Agents or in the absence
of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Agent shall
not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any Collateral or
for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien, whether
impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on
its part under the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed not
to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until written notice
thereof is given to the Collateral Agent by the Borrower, any Subsidiary
Guarantor, and Agent or a Lender, and the Collateral Agent shall not be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or

 

25

 

representation made in or in connection with any
Security Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance
or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions
set forth in any Security Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Security Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any
Security Document.

 

(e)                                  Authority
to Rely on Certain Writings, Statements and Advice. The Collateral Agent
shall be entitled to rely on, and shall not incur any liability for relying on,
any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or
other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by
the proper Person. The Collateral Agent also may rely on any statement made to
it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person,
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Collateral Agent may
consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers or any of
their Subsidiaries), independent accountants and other experts selected by it,
and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance
with the advice of any such counsel, accountant or expert.

 

(f)                                    Sub-Agents
and Affiliates. The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties and
exercise any of its rights and powers through one or more sub-agents appointed
by it. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of its
duties and exercise any of its rights and powers through its Affiliates. The
exculpatory provisions of Article VII and this Article VIII shall apply to any
such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Collateral Agent and any such
sub-agent.

 

(g)                                 Information
as to Secured Guarantees and Actions by Lenders. For all purposes of the
Security Documents, including determining the amounts of the Secured Guarantees
or whether any action has been taken under any Security Document, the
Collateral Agent will be entitled to rely on information from (i) the Agents,
and actions taken by them, (ii) any Lender (or any trustee, agent or similar
representative designated pursuant to subsection (f) to supply such
information) for information as to its Secured Guarantees and actions taken by
it, to the extent that the Collateral Agent has not obtained such information
from the foregoing sources, and (iii) the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor,
to the extent that the Collateral Agent has not obtained information from the
foregoing sources.

 

(h)                                 Refusal
to Act. The Collateral Agent may refuse to act on any notice, consent,
direction or instruction from either Agent or any agent, trustee or similar
representative thereof that, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, (i) is contrary
to law or the provisions of any Security Document, (ii) may expose the
Collateral Agent to liability (unless the Collateral Agent shall have been
indemnified, to its reasonable satisfaction, for such liability by the Lender),
or (iii) is unduly prejudicial to the Agent or Lenders not joining in such
notice, consent, direction or instruction.

 

(i)                                     Resignation;
Successor Collateral Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a
successor Collateral Agent as provided in this subsection, the Collateral Agent
may resign at any time by notifying the Agents and the Borrower. Upon
acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor,
such successor shall succeed to and

 

26

 

become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent hereunder, and the retiring
Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.
The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Collateral Agent shall be the
same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the
Borrowers and such successor. After the Collateral Agent’s resignation
hereunder, the provisions of Article VII and this Article VIII shall continue
in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and
their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while the retiring Collateral Agent was acting as
Collateral Agent.

 

(j)                                     Subject
to 8.01(d), the Collateral Agent hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and
provisions of all Loan Documents applicable to it.

 

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION OF LIENS; RELEASE OF COLLATERAL

 

Section
9.01.                         Termination Of Liens; Release Of Collateral.

 

(a)                                  The
Liens granted by the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trusts under
this Agreement shall terminate upon the payment in full of the unpaid principal
amount of all Loans, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and any other
Obligations payable under the Loan Documents and the reduction of all
outstanding Commitments to zero.

 

(b)                                 The
Liens granted by a Subsidiary Guarantor and any Trust in which it is the
beneficiary under this Agreement shall terminate when its Secured Guarantee is
released pursuant to Section 2(c) of the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Upon
any termination of a Lien granted under a Security Document or release of
Collateral, the Collateral Agent will, at the expense of the Borrower or the
relevant Subsidiary Guarantor or Trust, promptly execute and deliver to such
Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor or Trust (or its designee) such documents as
such Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor or Trust shall reasonably request to
evidence the termination of such Lien or the release of such Collateral, as the
case may be.

 

(d)                                 The
Borrower and any Subsidiary Guarantor may sell, exchange, assign or otherwise
dispose of any of the Aircraft or Engines in the ordinary course of business
unless (i) doing so would violate a covenant in the Credit Agreements or (ii)
the Loans shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8 of the Senior
Credit Agreement and the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Borrower or
such Subsidiary Guarantor that its right to do so is terminated, suspended or
otherwise limited. If such sale is to a Person which is not the Borrower or one
of its Subsidiaries, then concurrently with any sale or other disposition
permitted by the foregoing sentence, the Liens created by the Security
Documents on the assets sold or disposed of will cease immediately without any
action by the Collateral Agent or any Lender and the Collateral Agent will, at
the expense of the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor, promptly
execute and deliver to such Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor such documents as
such Borrower

 

27

 

or Subsidiary Guarantor shall reasonably request to
evidence the termination of such Lien on such assets.

THIS SENIOR CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 26,
2006, among AerCap AT, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the several banks and other

hereto, including any such Section, Annex, Schedule or Exhibit incorporated
herein by reference.

 

1.2           Other
Definitional Provisions.  (a) Unless
otherwise specified therein, all terms defined in this Agreement shall have the
defined meanings when used in the other Loan Documents or any certificate or
other document made or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto.

 

(b)           As

document made or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, (i) accounting

Section 2.              Amount
and Terms of Commitments.

 

2.1           Term
Commitments.  Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, each Tranche A Term Lender severally agrees to make
a term loan (a “Tranche A Term Loan”)
to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed the amount of
the Tranche A Term Commitment of such Lender.

 

2.2           Procedure
for Term Loan Borrowing.  The
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice
must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 a.m., New York
City time, one Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date) requesting
that the Tranche A Term Lenders make the Tranche A Term Loans on the
Closing Date and specifying the amount to be borrowed.  Upon receipt of such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Tranche A Term Lender
thereof.  Not later than 12:00 noon,
New York City time, on the Closing Date each Tranche A Term Lender shall
make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in
immediately available funds equal to the Tranche A Term Loan to be made by
such Lender.  The Administrative Agent
shall credit the account of the Borrower on the books of such office of the
Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the
Administrative Agent by the Tranche A Term Lenders in immediately
available funds.

 

2.3           Repayment
of Tranche A Term Loans.  The
Tranche A Term Loan of each Tranche A Lender shall mature in 20
consecutive quarterly installments, each of which shall be in an amount equal
to such Lender’s Tranche A Term Percentage multiplied by the “Tranche A
Quarterly Amortization Amount” specified on Annex A. The Borrower shall repay
all outstanding Tranche A Term Loans on the Maturity Date.

 

2.4           Revolving
Commitments.  (a)  Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to
make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”)
to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an
aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which does not exceed
the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment.  During the Revolving Commitment Period the
Borrower may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the
Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with
the terms and conditions hereof.

 

(b)           Revolving
Loans may be borrowed by the Borrower only in connection with its acquisition
(or refinancing the acquisition) of Eligible Equipment or the refinancing of
Returned Equipment (to the extent of any previous reduction in the Borrowing
Base Value of such Returned Equipment pursuant to the proviso to Section
3.2(h)) and, in either case, the Revolving Loans made in respect thereof shall
not exceed the Advance Rate therefor.

 

(c)           The
Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Maturity Date.

 

2.5           Procedure
for Revolving Loan Borrowing.  The
Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Commitments during the Revolving
Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that the Administrative
Agent shall have received a Notice of Borrowing prior to 12:00 Noon, New York
City time, three Business Days (one Business Day during the Prime Rate 

 

2

 

Period) prior to the
requested Borrowing Date.  Each borrowing
under the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to not less than $500,000.  Upon receipt of any such notice from the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender
thereof.  Each Revolving Lender will make
the amount of its pro rata share of each
borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower
at the Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the
Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the
Administrative Agent.  Such borrowing
will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent
crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the
aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the
Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative
Agent.  The Borrower may, by notice given
to the Administrative Agent (which notice may be given by telecopy or by email
attaching a copy of a notice as a printable file) not later than 4:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the initially requested Borrowing Date, postpone the
Borrowing Date by not more than five Business Days, provided, that (i)
all amounts received by the Administrative Agent with respect to the initially
requested Borrowing Date shall be deposited in the Restricted Account, (ii)
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such amounts will be made available
to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent on any day during such five
Business Day period upon notice from the Borrower given to the Administrative
Agent (which notice may be given by telecopy or by email attaching a copy of a
notice as a printable file) not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on
the date requested, (iii) the Interest Period for such borrowing shall commence
on the initially requested Borrowing Date and (iv) if the Borrower fails to
borrow such amounts by the end of business on the fifth Business Day after the
originally requested Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall return such
amounts to the respective Lenders on the next Business Day and the Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Lenders,
interest on such funds at the LIBOR Rate (or, during the Prime Rate Period, at
the Prime Rate) plus the applicable Margin (less any amounts earned with
respect to such funds by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6(a)(iii)
of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) together with amounts payable under
Section 2.15, if any.

 

2.6           Commitment
Fees, etc.  (a)  The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each
Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the date
hereof to the Maturity Date (or, if earlier, the date the Revolving Loans shall
have been paid in full and the Total Revolving Commitments shall have been
reduced to zero or otherwise terminated), computed at the Commitment Fee Rate
on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such
Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in
arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the Maturity Date (or, if earlier, the
date the Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full and the Total Revolving
Commitments shall have been reduced to zero or otherwise terminated),
commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof.

 

(b)           The
Borrower agrees to pay to Calyon New York Branch the fees in the amounts and on
the dates specified in the Fee Letter.

 

2.7           Termination
or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. 
The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business
Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Total Revolving
Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Total Revolving
Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Total

 

3

 

Revolving Commitments
shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of
the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the aggregate
outstanding amount of Revolving Loans would exceed the Total Revolving
Commitments.  Any such reduction shall be
in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce
permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect on a pro-rata basis.

 

2.8           Optional
Prepayments.  The Borrower may at any
time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without
premium or penalty except for the Prepayment Fee, upon revocable notice
delivered to the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days prior
thereto, in which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment; provided,
that if a Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing
pursuant to Section 2.15.  Upon
receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
relevant Lender thereof.  If any such
notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable
on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on
the amount prepaid and any Prepayment Fee, provided, however,
that if the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent on or prior to 4:00
p.m., New York City time, on the date specified for the prepayment that the
Borrower has revoked its election to prepay, the Borrower shall not be required
to make such prepayment, provided, further, that if such notice
is delivered to the Administrative Agent less than three Business Days prior to
the date specified for prepayment, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent on demand any amounts payable under Section 2.15. For the avoidance of
doubt if, after the expiration of the Prime Rate Period, such notice is
delivered to the Administrative Agent less than three Business Days prior to
the date specified for prepayment, “LIBOR” for such amount not prepaid for the
remaining portion of the Interest Period commencing on the date of scheduled
prepayment shall be the amount the Administrative Agent shall reasonably
determine, in consultation with the Lenders, as the rate which compensates the Lenders
for their cost of funding for such period. 
Partial prepayments of Tranche A Term Loans and Revolving Loans
shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple
thereof.

 

2.9           Mandatory
Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. 
(a)  If, as at any Report Date, the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of Revolving Loans and Tranche A Term Loans exceeds the
Borrowing Base as at such date, the Borrower shall on the last day of the
Interest Period including such Report Date prepay the Loans as provided in the
succeeding sentence in such amount as shall allow the sum of the aggregate
outstanding Revolving Loans and Tranche A Term Loans not to exceed the
Borrowing Base. Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made
pursuant to this Section 2.9(a) shall be applied, first, to the
prepayment of the Revolving Loans, second, to the prepayment of the
Tranche A Term Loans.

 

(b)           All
proceeds received with respect to the Key Man Insurance or the Key Man
Guarantee shall be deposited in the Restricted Account and, on the earlier of
the last day of the Interest Period during which such proceeds were received
or, at the election of the Borrower, on a date specified by the Borrower by
notice delivered to the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days prior
to such date, such proceeds (or cash collateral deposited by the Borrower in
the Restricted Account in lieu of the Key Man Guarantee and payable pursuant to
the last sentence of Section 6(a)(i) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement)
shall be applied (together with interest accrued thereon pursuant to Section
6(a)(iii) of the Guarantee and Collateral

 

4

 

Agreement), first,
to the prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans, second, to the prepayment
of the Revolving Loans and third to the prepayment of the Tranche B Term
Loans.  Any prepayment of the Revolving
Loans pursuant to this Section 2.9(b) shall permanently reduce the Total
Revolving Commitments by the amount of such prepayment.

 

(c)           All
Net Cash Proceeds received from any Recovery Event shall be deposited in the
Restricted Account and, on the earlier of the last day of the Interest Period
during which such Net Cash Proceeds were received or, at the election of the
Borrower, on a date specified by the Borrower by notice delivered to the
Administrative Agent at least three Business Days prior to such date, shall be
applied (together with interest accrued thereon pursuant to Section 6(a)(iii)
of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) to the prepayment of the Revolving
Loans and the Tranche A Term Loans on an Allocated Basis; provided, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any such prepayment may be deferred until the
aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Recovery Events theretofore received (and as to
which no prepayment has been made) exceeds $250,000.

 

(d)           If,
as at any date on which the Borrowing Base Value of an Aircraft Asset is
reduced pursuant to the proviso to Section 3.2(h), the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of Revolving Loans and Tranche A Term Loans exceeds the
Borrowing Base as at such date, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days
of such date deposit in the Restricted Account an amount equal to the
difference between the Borrowing Base Value as of such date and the aggregate
outstanding Revolving Loans and Tranche A Term Loans at that date and, on the
earlier of the last day of the Interest Period during which such deposit was
made or, at the election of the Borrower, on a date specified by the Borrower
by notice delivered to the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days
prior to such date, shall be applied (together with interest accrued thereon
pursuant to Section 6(a)(iii) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) first,
to the prepayment of the Revolving Loans, second, to the prepayment of
the Tranche A Term Loans.

 

(e)           Each
prepayment of the Loans under this Section 2.9 shall be accompanied by
accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid, together
with amounts payable under Section 2.15 if such prepayment was made on a date
other than the last day of an Interest Period, but without premium or penalty.

 

2.10         Interest
Rates and Payment Dates.  (a) Each
Loan shall bear interest for each Interest Period with respect thereto at a
rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate determined for such day plus the
Applicable Margin, provided, that during the Interest Period ending July
15, 2006, each Loan shall bear interest for each day during the Prime Rate
Period at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate determined for such day plus
the Applicable Margin and for the remainder of such Interest Period, shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate determined for such day
plus the Applicable Margin.

 

(b)           (i) If
all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when due
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue
amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to in the case of the
Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% and (ii) if all or a
portion of any interest payable on any Loan or any commitment fee or other

 

5

 

amount payable hereunder
shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to the rate then applicable to Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2%
(or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular
Facility, the rate then applicable to Loans under the Revolving Facility plus
2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of
such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before
judgment).

 

(c)           Interest
shall be payable in arrears on May 15, 2006 and on each Interest Payment Date,
provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall
be payable from time to time on demand.

 

2.11         Computation
of Interest and Fees.  (a)  Interest
and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year (a 365-day year during the Prime Rate Period) for the actual days
elapsed.  The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of
a LIBOR Rate.

 

(b)           Each
determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and
the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. 
The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver
to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative
Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.11(a).

 

2.12         Pro
Rata Treatment and Payments.  (a)  Each
payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of
the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made to the Administrative Agent and
the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders pro rata according to their respective
Revolving Percentage and Tranche A Term Percentages, as the case may be,
of the relevant Lenders.

 

(b)           Each
payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of
and interest on the Tranche A Term Loans shall be made to the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall distribute such
payments to the Lenders pro rata according
to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Tranche A Term
Loans then held by the Tranche A Term Lenders.  The amount of each principal prepayment of
the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of
the Tranche A Term Loans in inverse order of maturity.  Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans
may not be reborrowed.

 

(c)           Each
payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of
and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made to the Administrative Agent
and the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving
Lenders.

 

(d)           All
payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether
on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without
setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York
City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of the Lenders, at the Funding Office,

 

6

 

in Dollars and in
immediately available funds.  The
Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly
upon receipt in like funds as received. 
If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business
Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless
the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another
calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately
preceding Business Day.  In the case of
any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding sentence,
interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such
extension.

 

(e)           Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender
prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would
constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount
available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount.  If such amount is not made
available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date
therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such
amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds
Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately
available to the Administrative Agent.  A
certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to
any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.

 

(f)            Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower
prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that
the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and
the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon
such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding
amount.  If such payment is not made to
the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such
due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand,
from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the
preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum
equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the
rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

 

2.13         Requirements
of Law.  (a)  If the
adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or
application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

 

(i)            shall
subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments
to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by
Section 2.14 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of
such Lender);

 

(ii)           shall
impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan
or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other

 

7

 

liabilities
in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or
any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender; or

 

(iii)          shall
impose on such Lender any other condition;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to
increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be
material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans, or to
reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such
case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any
additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost
or reduced amount receivable.  If any
Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) (which notice shall be accompanied by a certificate
setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof
but not including any matters which that Lender regards as confidential in
relation to its funding arrangements) of the event by reason of which it has
become so entitled.

 

(b)           If
any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or
application thereof (including the implementation of regulations in respect of
the capital adequacy regime commonly known as Basle II) or compliance by such
Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any
Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital
as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such
Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender
to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request
therefor (which request shall be accompanied by a certificate setting forth the
basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof but not including
any matters which that Lender regards as confidential in relation to its
funding arrangements), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such
reduction.

 

(c)           A
certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section
submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to
this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of
the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.13  for (i)
any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender
notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such
claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended
to include the period of such retroactive effect or (ii) any amounts incurred
by such Lender as a result of a decline in the credit rating of such Lender.

 

8

 

2.14         Taxes.  (a)  All payments made by the
Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without
deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, now or hereafter
imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority,
excluding net income, net receipts, capital, franchise, net worth, or other
similar “doing business” Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any
Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative
Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority
imposing such Tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative
Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or
received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document).  If any such non-excluded
Taxes, (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or
Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary
to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all
Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable
hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided,
however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such
amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes
(i) to the extent imposed as a result of such Lender’s failure to comply
with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section 2.14 or
(ii) that are United States withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable
to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement,
except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the
time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with
respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.

 

(b)           In
addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent and Lenders, on demand for any failure to do so.

 

(c)           Whenever
any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly
as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for
its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be,
a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower
showing payment thereof, if any, or other evidence of payment reasonably
acceptable to such Person.  If the
Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the
appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Administrative
Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on demand for any
incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders as a result of any such failure.

 

(d)           Each
Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S.
Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
(or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related
participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8IMY (with appropriate
documentation), or W-8EXP or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming
exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c)
of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement
substantially in the form of Exhibit H and a Form W-8BEN, or any
subsequent versions thereof

 

9

 

or successors thereto,
properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete
exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding Tax on all
payments by the Borrower under this Agreement. 
Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the
date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant,
on or before the date such Participant purchases the related
participation).  In addition, each Non-U.S.
Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of
any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender.  Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify
the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to
provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form
of certification adopted by the U.S. Governmental Authorities for such
purpose).  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver
any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally
able to deliver.

 

(e)           At
the reasonable request of the Borrower, each Lender that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding Tax under the law of any
jurisdiction (other than the United States), or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party with respect to payments under this Agreement shall
deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time
or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower,
such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law
as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced
rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute
and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s sole judgment such
completion, execution or submission would not prejudice the legal position of
such Lender, including its lending office(s), or cause such Lender or its
lending office(s) to suffer any economic, legal, or regulatory disadvantage.

 

(f)            If
a Lender actually receives a permanent benefit of a Tax credit or refund which
the Borrower has paid or reimbursed such Lender pursuant to this
Section 2.14 or if a Lender actually realizes an allowance of or deduction
in Taxes as a result of any amount or additional amount paid by the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 2.14, such Lender shall pay to the Borrower such
refund or the amount of such reduction in Taxes, but only to the extent of the
amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14 with respect to
the Taxes, provided, however, (x) no Lender shall be obliged
to disclose to the Borrower or any other Person information regarding its tax
affairs or computations, or tax books or records, (y) the Borrower hereby
acknowledges that the order and manner in which a Lender claims credits,
refunds, allowances, and deductions available to it is a matter which will be
determined in accordance with the Lender’s taxation and accounting policies and
practices and that any credits, refunds, allowances or deductions resulting
from amounts or additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.14
shall not receive any preferential treatments, and (z) no Lender shall be
required to take any action which in its reasonable opinion would or may
prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refund, credit, allowance or
deduction to which it may be entitled.

 

(g)           Where
the Borrower has an obligation to indemnify or reimburse the Administrative
Agent or a Lender for a Tax under this Section 2.14, the calculation of
the amount payable by way of indemnity or reimbursement shall be based upon the
Tax treatment in the hands of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as
determined by such Person acting in good faith) of the amount payable by way of
indemnity or reimbursement and of the Tax in respect of which the amount is
payable so as to leave the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the

 

10

 

case may be, in the same
after-Tax position it would have been in had the payment made to such Person
not given rise to a liability to Tax.

 

(h)           The
agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

2.15         Indemnity.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender
for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such
Lender may sustain or incur after the Prime Rate Period as a consequence of
(a) failure by the Borrower to make a borrowing of Loans after the Borrower
has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement, (b) failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment of
Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Loans on
a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  Such indemnification may include an amount
equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have
accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, for the period from the
date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to
the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date
of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans
provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included
therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably
determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such
amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading
banks in the London interbank market.  A
certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the
Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error.  This covenant shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.

 

2.16         Change
of Lending Office.  Each Lender
agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of
Section 2.13 or 2.14(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested
by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for
any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences
of such event or take such actions as the Borrower may reasonably request; provided,
that no Lender shall be obligated to take any action that, in the sole judgment
of such Lender, would cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer any
economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further,
that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of
the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 or
2.14(a).

 

2.17         Replacement
of Lenders.  The Borrower shall be
permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for
amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a) or (b) defaults in
its obligation to make Loans hereunder, with a replacement financial
institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict
with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such
replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.16 so
as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to
Section 2.13 or 2.14(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution
shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced
Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be
liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.15 if any Loan owing to
such replaced Lender

 

11

 

shall be purchased other
than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the
replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall
be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the
registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such
time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all
additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a),
as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

 

Section 3.              Borrowing
Base.

 

3.1           Borrowing
Base.  As at any Report Date, the sum
of (A) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans plus (B) the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans shall not exceed the Borrowing
Base as of such Report Date; provided that, if such Loans exceed the Borrowing
Base on a Report Date, such Loans shall be subject to prepayment as provided in
Section 2.9(a) by such excess amount.

 

3.2           Borrowing
Base Definitions.

 

(a)           “Acceptable Accounts Receivables”: as at
the Closing Date and at any Quarterly Date, the accounts receivables of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date calculated in accordance with
GAAP, excluding any such accounts receivables that (i) are more than 60 days
past due or (ii) are from Aeropostal.

 

(b)           “Appraisal Value”: as at the Closing
Date and at any Quarterly Date, the “current market value” (as such term is
defined by the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading (ISTAT)) of
the Borrowing Base Assets (other than the accounts receivable) as determined by
the Appraiser as of February 28, 2006 with respect to the Appraisal Value as at
the Closing Date, and with respect to the Appraisal Value as at Quarterly Date,
as of the last day of the previous month to such Quarterly Date.  The Appraisal Value with respect to any
Quarterly Date shall be calculated utilizing such physical assessments of such
assets, maintenance status of such assets, current trading history and other
methodologies as are consistent with the methodologies utilized to provide the
Baseline Appraisal (provided, that, the appraisal with respect to the June
Quarterly Date shall be a “desk-top” appraisal and physical assessments of such
assets shall only be performed with respect to the December Quarterly Date) and
shall be presented to the parties in an appraisal addressed to both the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

(c)           “Appraiser”: SH&E, Inc., unless
SH&E, Inc. becomes incapable of determining the Appraisal Value with a
degree of care recognized in the industry, in which case, such other nationally
recognized appraiser selected by the Borrower and not objected to by the
Administrative Agent on an unreasonable basis.

 

(d)           “Baseline Appraisal”: the appraisal
furnished by the Appraiser dated April 24, 2006 and addressed to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent.

 

12

 

(e)           “Borrowing Base”: as at the Closing Date
and at any Quarterly Date, the sum of: (x) the aggregate of Borrowing Base
Values of all Borrowing Base Assets, subject to the Borrowing Base Constraints,
plus (y) the aggregate amount of
sales proceeds from the disposition by the Borrower of Eligible Equipment and
Eligible Inventory effected within six months of any date of calculation
subject to: (i) such proceeds being in the Restricted Account and (ii) such
proceeds not exceeding $20,000,000.  The
Borrowing Base as in effect immediately prior to reduction in the Borrowing
Base Value for an Aircraft Asset pursuant to the proviso to Section 3.2(h)
shall be reduced by the amount of such reduction and, on the date such Aircraft
Asset ceases to be an Impaired Aircraft Asset or Lease Default Equipment shall
be increased by the amount of any reduction in the Borrowing Base Value for
such Aircraft Asset.

 

(f)            “Borrowing Base Assets”: the following
categories of assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries:

 

(i)            Acceptable
Accounts Receivable;

 

(ii)           Eligible
Inventory; and

 

(iii)          Eligible
Equipment.

 

(g)           “Borrowing Base Constraints”: in
determining the Borrowing Base, the following constraints shall be considered:

 

(i)            Eligible
Inventory located at vendors or consignees shall have a Borrowing Base Value of
zero;

 

(ii)           if the
Eligible Equipment consists of any engine in overhaul (but not an engine sent
out for testing preceding any agreement to commence an overhaul or an engine
being overhauled by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries by its own
personnel), such engine shall either be excluded as a Borrowing Base Asset or
the estimated cost of the overhaul payable to the overhaul provider shall be
deposited in the Restricted Account (which costs shall be subject to withdrawal
as provided in Section 6(a) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement);

 

(iii)          in
respect of Eligible Equipment constituting whole aircraft that are in Advance
Category 3, no more than 10% of the Borrowing Base (exclusive of the component
thereof constituting Acceptable Accounts Receivables) may be attributable to
such type of asset;

 

(iv)          in order
for any whole aircraft to be counted as Eligible Equipment (as compared to
inventory constituting Eligible Equipment), such aircraft must either (i) be
subject to an operating lease with a third party (not an Affiliate of the
Borrower) or (ii) if not subject to such an operating lease, become subject to
an operating lease within four months (or, such further period beyond such four
months not to exceed another two months during which such aircraft is subject
to a letter of intent (pursuant to which the prospective lessee has made a
non-refundable deposit (in cash or by letter of credit issued by a commercial
bank) equal to at least one month’s rent, unless the Administrative Agent shall
otherwise consent, such consent not to be unreasonably refused) to have it

 

13

 

become
subject to such an operating lease); if a whole aircraft constituting Eligible
Equipment does not satisfy the foregoing tests, it will be treated as Eligible
Inventory; and

 

(v)           no more
than 50% of the Borrowing Base may be attributable to Eligible Inventory.

 

(h)           “Borrowing Base Value” as at the Closing
Date and at any Quarterly Date: for any Borrowing Base Asset owned by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, a value determined as follows:

 

(i)            in the
case of Acceptable Accounts Receivables, 50% of the amount thereof;

 

(ii)           in the
case of each item of Eligible Inventory, the percentage of the Appraisal Value
or Certified Value, as the case may be, of such item as specified in Annex C
for the applicable Advance Category of such item;

 

(iii)          in
the case of each item of Eligible Equipment (other than whole aircraft), the
percentage of the Appraisal Value or Certified Value, as the case may be, of
such item as specified in Annex C for the applicable Advance Category of such
item; and

 

(iv)          in the case
of each item of Eligible Equipment that is a whole aircraft, the lower of (x)
the percentage of the Appraisal Value or Certified Value, as the case may be,
and (y) the percentage of the acquisition cost, of such item as specified in
Annex C for the applicable Advance Category of such item;

 

provided,
that (x) in the case of any Aircraft Asset that constitutes Lease Default
Equipment, but only for so long as it remains Lease Default Equipment, the
Borrowing Base Value for such Aircraft Asset shall be:

 

(1) for the initial period of ninety days
commencing on the date such Aircraft Asset became Lease Default Equipment, the
Borrowing Base Value for such Aircraft Asset shall be the Borrowing Base Value
(the “Original Borrowing Base Value”)
for such Aircraft Asset as of the Quarterly Date occurring on or immediately
prior to the date such Aircraft Asset became Lease Default Equipment;

 

(2) for the 90 day period commencing
immediately after the period referred to in clause (1) above, the Borrowing
Base Value for such Aircraft Asset shall be two-thirds (2/3) of the Original
Borrowing Base Value for such Aircraft Asset;

 

(3) for the 90 day period commencing
immediately after the period referred to in clause (2) above, the Borrowing
Base Value for such Aircraft Asset shall be one-third (1/3) of the Original
Borrowing Base Value for such Aircraft Asset; and

 

14

 

(4) thereafter, the Borrowing Base Value for
such Eligible Equipment shall be zero;

 

and (y) in the case of any Aircraft Asset that constitutes an Impaired Aircraft Asset,
but only for so long as it remains an Impaired Aircraft Asset, the Borrowing
Base Value for such Aircraft Asset shall be zero effective as of the
date such Aircraft Asset became an Impaired Aircraft Asset.

 

In the case of the June
and December Quarterly Dates, the Borrowing Base Value shall be adjusted to
reflect any change in the Eligible Equipment or Eligible Inventory (e.g., sales,
acquisitions and change in status) occurring between the date as of which the
Appraisal Values were determined and the Quarterly Date.

 

(i)            “Certified Value” of any item of
Eligible Equipment or item of Eligible Inventory: the current market value of
such item certified by the Borrower based on its good faith and best knowledge
assessment of such item based on (i) in respect of non-traded Eligible
Equipment and Eligible Inventory, the most recent Appraisal Value, and the
Borrower’s assessment of any changes in valuation based on asset purchases,
sales and trading activity during the quarterly reporting period (ii) in
respect of newly acquired Eligible Equipment and Eligible Inventory, the most
recent Appraisal Value in respect of comparable equipment and the prices paid
by it during such period in respect thereof and (iii) such other factors as the
Borrower may reasonably consider to be relevant.

 

3.3           Borrowing
Base Valuations.

 

(a)           The
Borrower shall deliver a Borrowing Base Report (in substantially the form of
Exhibit K hereto, on the Closing Date and not later than 15 days after each
Quarterly Date, which shall calculate the Borrowing Base, (i) in respect of the
Closing Date by reference to the Appraisal Value with respect to the Closing
Date, (ii) in respect of the Quarterly Dates in June and December of each year,
by reference to the Appraisal Value with respect to such Quarterly Dates and
(iii) in respect of the Quarterly Dates in September and March of each year, by
reference to the Certified Value with respect to such Quarterly Dates.

 

(b)           The
Borrower will cooperate with the Appraiser in its due diligence associated with
determining any Appraisal Value, and will provide to the Appraiser access to
its facilities to determine the Appraisal Value during normal business hours
and without any material interruption of the Borrower’s business operations, as
well as, on a timely basis, all relevant and necessary data required by the
Appraiser to determine the Appraisal Value (including disc sheets, inspection
reports and records, as applicable).

 

3.4           Requests
to Add Additional Equipment Types. 
The Borrower may from time to time propose the inclusion of additional
types of Aircraft Assets in Annex B and Annex C.  Upon receipt of any such proposal, the Administrative
Agent agrees to negotiate in good faith whether to add such additional types of
Aircraft Assets, the respective Categories such Aircraft Assets would have on
Annex B and the respective Borrowing Base Advance Rates for such Aircraft
Assets in Annex C, it being understood that the inclusion of different types of
Aircraft Assets

 

15

 

would require an
amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent of the Lenders pursuant to
Section 10.1.

 

Section 4.              Representations
and Warranties.  To induce the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make
the Loans, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative
Agent and each Lender that:

 

4.1           Financial
Condition.

 

(a)           The
unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2006 (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”), copies of which have heretofore
been furnished to the Administrative Agent, has been prepared giving effect (as
if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the consummation of the
Acquisition, (ii) the Loans to be made on the Closing Date and the use of
proceeds thereof and (iii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with
the foregoing.  The Pro Forma Balance
Sheet has been prepared based on the best information available to the Borrower
as of the date of delivery thereof, and presents fairly on a pro forma basis
the estimated financial position of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries
as at March 31, 2006, assuming that the events specified in the preceding
sentence had actually occurred at such date.

 

(b)           The
audited consolidated balance sheet of AeroTurbine, Inc. as at December 31, 2004
and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the
fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an
unqualified report from KPMG, present fairly the consolidated financial
condition of AeroTurbine as at such date, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then
ended.  The unaudited consolidated
balance sheet of AeroTurbine as at September 30, 2005, and the related
unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the nine-month
period ended on such date, present fairly the consolidated financial condition
of AeroTurbine as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations
and its consolidated cash flows for the nine-month period then ended (subject
to normal year-end audit adjustments). 
All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP
applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the
aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein).  Neither AeroTurbine nor any of its
Subsidiaries has any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and
liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term
commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange
transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not
reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this
paragraph.  Since the date of the
Pro-Forma Balance Sheet there has been no Disposition by AeroTurbine or any of
its Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or property.

 

4.2           No
Change.  Since the date of the Pro
Forma Balance Sheet, there has been no development or event that has had or
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.3           Existence;
Compliance with Law.  The Borrower
and each of its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and (if
applicable) in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and

 

16

 

operate its property, to
lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which
it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in
good standing (if applicable) under the laws of each jurisdiction where its
ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business
requires such qualification (except to the extent that the failure to be so
qualified could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect) and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law
except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.4           Power;
Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. 
The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has the power and authority,
and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which
it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit
hereunder.  The Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a
party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit
on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by
or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in
connection with the Acquisition and the extensions of credit hereunder or with
the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations,
filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4, which consents,
authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full
force and effect and (ii) the filings contemplated by Section 5.  Each Loan Document has been duly executed and
delivered on behalf of the Borrower and/or each of its Subsidiaries party
thereto.  This Agreement constitutes, and
each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries party thereto,
enforceable against each thereof in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement
is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

 

4.5           No
Legal Bar.  The execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings
hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement
of Law or any Contractual Obligation of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and
will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any
of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law
or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the
Security Documents).  No Requirement of
Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.6           Litigation.  No litigation, investigation or proceeding of
or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with
respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

 

17

 

4.7           No
Default.  No Loan Party is in default
under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing.

 

4.8           Ownership
of Property; Liens.  Schedule 4.8
lists all real property owned or leased by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

4.9           Intellectual
Property.  The Borrower and each of
its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property
necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted.  No material claim has been asserted and is
pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual
Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does
the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim.  The use of Intellectual Property by the
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any
Person in any material respect.

 

4.10         Taxes.  The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has
filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and other material Tax returns
that are required to be filed and has paid all Taxes shown to be due and
payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its
property and all other Taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its
property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity
of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided
on the books of the relevant Loan Party); and, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, no Tax lien has been filed and no claim is being asserted, with
respect to any such Tax, fee or other charge.

 

4.11         Federal
Regulations.  No part of the proceeds
of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “buying”
or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the
quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in
effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of
the Board.  If requested by any Lender or
the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent
and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the
requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in
Regulation U.

 

4.12         Labor
Matters.  Except as, in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect:  (a) there are no strikes or
other labor disputes against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to
the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made
to employees of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have not been in
violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement
of Law dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries on account of employee health and welfare insurance have
been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the relevant Loan Party.

 

4.13         ERISA.  Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated
funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or
Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to
the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to
any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the
applicable

 

18

 

provisions of ERISA and
the Code.  No termination of a Single
Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has
arisen, during such five-year period. 
The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer
Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the
last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is
made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to
such accrued benefits by a material amount. 
Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a
complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or
could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and
neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to
any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly
Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as
of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this
representation is made or deemed made. 
No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent.

 

4.14         Investment
Company Act; Other Regulations. 
Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment
company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  No Loan Party is subject to regulation under
any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board) that limits its
ability to incur Indebtedness.

 

4.15         Subsidiaries.  Except for Subsidiaries created after the
Closing Date which have become parties to the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement and the Aircraft Asset Security Agreement as provided therein (“New Subsidiaries”): (a)
Schedule 4.15 sets forth the name and jurisdiction of incorporation of
each Subsidiary; and, as to each such Subsidiary and each New Subsidiary, the
Borrower owns 100% of each class of Capital Stock issued thereby; and (b) there
are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other
agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to employees or
directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any
Capital Stock of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, except as created by the
Loan Documents.

 

4.16         Use
of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the
Term Loans shall be used to finance a portion of the Acquisition and the
repayment of the Wachovia Credit Facility. 
The proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be used to acquire (or
refinance the acquisition cost of) Eligible Equipment or refinance Returned
Equipment.  The Borrower is the ultimate
beneficiary of the Loans being made under this Agreement.

 

4.17         Environmental
Matters.  Except as, in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

 

(a)           the
facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (the “Properties”) do not contain, and have not previously
contained, any Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations
or under circumstances that constitute or constituted a violation of, or could
give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law;

 

(b)           no
Loan Party has received or is aware of any notice of violation, alleged
violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding
environmental matters or

 

19

 

compliance with
Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the business
operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Business”), nor does the
Borrower have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be
received or is being threatened;

 

(c)           Materials
of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the
Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location that could give
rise to liability under, any Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of
Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or
under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could give
rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law;

 

(d)           no
judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to
the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is or will be named as a party with respect
to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other
decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other
administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law
with respect to the Properties or the Business;

 

(e)           there
has been no release or threat of release of Materials of Environmental Concern
at or from the Properties, or arising from or related to the operations of
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Properties or
otherwise in connection with the Business, in violation of or in amounts or in
a manner that could give rise to liability under Environmental Laws;

 

(f)            the
Properties and all operations at the Properties are in compliance, and have in
the last five years been in compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws,
and there is no contamination at, under or about the Properties or violation of
any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business; and

 

(g)           no
Loan Party has assumed any liability of any other Person under Environmental
Laws.

 

4.18         Accuracy
of Information, etc.  No
representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any other document or certificate furnished by or on behalf of
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders,
or any of them, for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, taken as a whole, contained as of the
date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished, any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The projections and pro forma financial
information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good
faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be
reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such
financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as
fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such
financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein
by a material amount.  As of the date
hereof, the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in the
Acquisition Documentation are true and correct in all material respects.

Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.   Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not
have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein,
or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the

of Duties.  The Administrative Agent
may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by the Administrative Agent

matters pertaining to such duties.  The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct
of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Provisions.  Neither any

of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact
or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted
to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are
found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction
to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful
misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for
any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or in any

 

42

 

certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the
any such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability
or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure
of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries a party thereto to perform its
obligations hereunder or thereunder.  No
such Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to
inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained
in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect
the properties, books or records of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

9.4           Reliance
by Administrative Agent.  The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement,
order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent.  The Administrative
Agent may deem and treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as
the owner of the Loans recorded therein for all purposes for all purposes
unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall
have been filed with the Administrative Agent. 
The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing
to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it
shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if
so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it
shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and
all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action.  The
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in
accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to
act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future
holders of the Loans.

 

9.5           Notice
of Default.  The Administrative Agent
shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any
Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice
from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such
Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default”.  In the event that the
Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall
give notice thereof to the Lenders.  The
Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or,
if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until
the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

 

9.6           Non-Reliance
on Agents and Other Lenders.  Each
Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by
any Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs
of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute
any representation or warranty by any Administrative Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Agents that

 

43

 

it has, independently and
without reliance upon any Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and
their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and
enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender
also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative
Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their
affiliates.  Except for notices, reports
and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the
Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any
duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial
or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession
of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

 

9.7           Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by
the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so),
ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect
on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if
indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have
terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance
with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever
that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Administrative Agent in any
way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the
other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or
therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken
or omitted by such Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the
foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final
and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from such Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  The agreements in this
Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder.

 

9.8           Administrative
Agent in Its Individual Capacity. 
The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept
deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries as though such Administrative Agent were not an
Administrative Agent.  With respect to
its Loans made or renewed by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same
rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent,
and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in
its individual capacity.

 

44

 

9.9           Successor
Administrative Agent.  The
Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to
the Lenders and the Borrower.  If the
Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from
among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent
shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f)
with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject
to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers
and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent”
shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval,
and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as
Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or
deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to
this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. 
If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent
by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice
of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and
perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such
time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for
above.  After any retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.

 

9.10         Administrative
Agent Fees.  The Borrower agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates
previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

9.11         Intercreditor
Agreement.  Each Lender authorizes
and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into, and perform the obligations
undertaken by it in, the Intercreditor Agreement as “Senior Administrative
Agent” thereunder. Each Lender further agrees that it shall be bound by the
terms applicable to Senior Lenders under the Intercreditor Agreement as though
such provisions were set forth herein.

 

9.12         Intralinks.  The Administrative Agent will post all
financial statements and other information received by it pursuant to Section
6.1 or 6.2 on Intralinks within ten Business Days of receipt.

 

Section 10.            Miscellaneous.

 

10.1         Amendments
and Waivers.  Neither this Agreement,
any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended,
supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 10.1.  The Required Lenders
and the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries party to the relevant Loan
Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries party to the
relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written
amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents
for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan
Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions
as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case

 

45

 

may be, may specify in
such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided,
however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or
modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final
scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any
amortization payment in respect of any Tranche A Term Loan, reduce the stated
rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (x) in connection
with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates
(which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Majority Facility
Lenders of each adversely affected Facility) and (y) that any amendment or
modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement
shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes
of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof,
or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment,
in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under
this Section 10.1 without the written consent of such Lender;
(iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required
Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially
all of the Subsidiaries from their obligations under the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders;
(iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority
Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the written consent of
all Lenders under such Facility; (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of
(A) Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3; (B) Annex B hereto to add Eligible Equipment or
to change the Advance Category for Eligible Equipment; or (C) Annex C to
increase the Borrowing Base Advance Rate, without the written consent of all
Lenders or (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9
without the written consent of the Administrative Agent.  Any such waiver and any such amendment,
supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall
be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all
future holders of the Loans.  In the case
of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall
be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to
be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

10.2         Notices.  All notices, requests and demands to or upon
the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by
telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to
have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being
deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice,
when received, addressed as set forth in Schedule 10.2 in the case of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and as set forth in an administrative
questionnaire delivered to the Administrative Agent in the case of the Lenders,
or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties
hereto; provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall not be effective until received.

 

10.3         No
Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No
failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder preclude

 

46

 

any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or
privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers
and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights,
remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

10.4         Survival
of Representations and Warranties. 
All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan
Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto
or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.

 

10.5         Payment
of Expenses.  The Borrower agrees
(a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred connection with the development, preparation and
execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection
herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent (including
(i) Vedder, Price, Kaufman & Kammholz, P.C., special New York counsel,
(ii) McAfee & Taft, special FAA counsel and (iii) Loyens &
Loeff N.V., special Dutch counsel, the costs of each appraisal to determine the
Appraisal Value and filing, registration and recording fees and expenses, with
statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior
to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and
from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis
as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or
reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its costs and
expenses (other than Taxes, which are solely governed by Sections 2.13 and
2.14 of this Agreement, Section 15 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement,
and Section 5.01 of the Aircraft Asset Security Agreement) incurred in
connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the
fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of
in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent,
(c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent
and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and
controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”)
harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever (which are solely governed by
Sections 2.13 and 2.14 of this Agreement, Section 15 of the Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement, and Section 5.01 of the Aircraft Asset Security
Agreement) with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance
and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such
other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds
of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any
Environmental Law applicable to the operations of Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of
legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any
Indemnitee against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any Loan Document
(all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that
the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect
to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found
by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to
have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee.  Without limiting the foregoing,
and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to
assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and

 

47

 

hereby waives and agrees
to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other
rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines,
liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or
nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by
statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. 
All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later
than 10 days after written demand therefor.  Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant
to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to Lawrence Preston (Telephone
No. 305-590-2600, x301) (Telecopy No. 305-590-2695), at the address
of the Borrower set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or
address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to
the Administrative Agent.  The agreements
in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.

 

10.6         Successors
and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.  (a)  This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Loans and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of each Lender.

 

(b)           Any
Lender other than any Conduit Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower,
in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks,
financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to
such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. 
In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to
a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other
parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain
solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the
holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  In no event shall any Participant under any
such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any
provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment,
waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or
any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the
Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such participation.  The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding
under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been
declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its
participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent
as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a
Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such
participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to
share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a)
as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. 
The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 with respect to its participation
in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a
Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.14, such
Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section and provided,
further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater
amount pursuant to

 

48

 

any such
Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in
respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor
Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

 

(c)           Any
Lender other than any Conduit Lender (an “Assignor”)
may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time
assign to any Lender or any Lender Affiliate or, with the consent of the
Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to
an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to
an Assignment and Acceptance, executed by such Assignee and such Assignor, and
delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the
Register; provided (i) that, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent, no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any
Lender or any Lender Affiliate) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
less than $3,000,000, in each case except in the case of an assignment of all
of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement or if a Default has occurred and
is continuing and (ii) such Assignee shall have complied with the
requirements of Section 2.14 of this Agreement. For purposes of the
proviso contained in the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall
be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Lender Affiliates, if any.  No Assignee shall be entitled to receive a
greater amount pursuant to Section 2.14 of this Agreement than the
Assignor would have been entitled to receive in respect of the assigned rights
and obligations had no such assignment occurred.   Any such assignment need not be ratable as
among the Facilities.  Upon such
execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective
date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the
Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
hereunder with a Commitment and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the
Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and
Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party
hereto).  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any Conduit Lender may assign at any time to its designating Lender hereunder
without the consent of the Administrative Agent any or all of the Loans it may
have funded hereunder and pursuant to its designation agreement and without
regard to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this
Section 10.6(c). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.6(c) or
elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, in the case of any assignments
contemplated by this Section 10.6(c) occurring after Calyon New York Branch’s
primary syndication of the Loans, no Assignee shall be entitled to receive any
greater amount pursuant to any such Section hereof than the Assignor would
have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the Loans transferred
by such Assignor to such Assignee had no such transfer occurred.

 

(d)           The
Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address
referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to it and a register (the “Register”)
for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment
of, and the principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to
time.  The entries in the Register shall
be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, each other
Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans recorded
therein for all

 

49

 

purposes of this
Agreement.  Any assignment of any Loan
shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being
made in the Register.

 

(e)           Upon
its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor, an
Assignee and any other Person whose consent is required by
Section 10.6(c), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a
registration and processing fee of $4,000, the Administrative Agent shall
(i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record
the information contained therein in the Register on the effective date determined
pursuant thereto.

 

(f)            For
avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
provisions of this Section 10.6 concerning assignments relate only to
absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments
creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a Lender to
any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

 

(g)           Each
of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that
it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in
instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or
similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest
maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided,
however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to
indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost,
damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding
against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

 

(h)           Notwithstanding
any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the exercise and
performance by any Junior Lender (or the Junior Agent on behalf of the one or
more Junior Lenders) of its buy-out option under Section 3 of the Intercreditor
Agreement, (x) the Senior Loans shall be transferred to such purchasing entity,
and the transfer of such Loans to such purchaser shall be noted by the Administrative
Agent on the Register and (y) such purchaser shall assume the Revolving
Commitments of the Revolving Lenders (and the Revolving Lenders subject to such
buy-out shall be released from their respective obligations hereunder in
respect of such Revolving Commitments).

 

10.7         Adjustments;
Set-off.  (a) Except to the
extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a
particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender
(a “Benefited Lender”) shall, at
any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately
become due and payable pursuant to Section 8, receive any payment of all
or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect
thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events
or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise),
in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any
other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender,
such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a
participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such
other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such
collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the
excess payment or benefits of such

 

50

 

collateral ratably with
each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion
of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited
Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits
returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

 

(b)           In
addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender
shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice
being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable
law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and
appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other
credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct
or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or
owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or
the account of the Borrower, as the case may be.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application
made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall
not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

10.8         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more
of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and
all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and
the same instrument.  Delivery of an
executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall
be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed
by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent.

 

10.9         Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

10.10       Integration.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there
are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not
expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

 

10.11       Governing
Law.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS
AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

10.12       Submission
To Jurisdiction; Waivers.  The
Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

(a)           submits
for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for
recognition and

 

51

 

enforcement of any
judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the
courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States for the
Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

 

(b)           consents
that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or
proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in
an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

 

(c)           agrees
that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by
mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially
similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrower, as the case may be at
its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

 

(d)           agrees
that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any
other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other
jurisdiction; and

 

(e)           waives,
to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or
recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any
special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

 

10.13       Acknowledgements.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

 

(a)           it
has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

 

(b)           neither
the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or
duty to the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent
and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection
herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

 

(c)           no
joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise
exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or
among the Borrower and the Lenders.

 

10.14       Releases
of Guarantees and Liens.  (a)  Notwithstanding
