Grantor may make Permitted Airframe Installations.

4.6.         Additional Engines. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantor shall have the right at its option at any time, on at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Agent, to subject to the Security Interest and Lien of this Agreement additional Engines as Collateral, and if an Event of Loss shall have occurred with respect to an Engine, shall within 60 days of the occurrence of such Event of Loss and on at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent shall subject to the Security Interest and Lien created by this Agreement, an additional Engine as Collateral for such Engine that suffered such Event of Loss, and in each case is not then installed on an Airframe (an “Additional Engine”).

(D)          an opinion of Daugherty Fowler Peregrin Haught and Jenson Professional Corporation or other qualified counsel in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma reasonably acceptable to agent, with a supporting priority search certificate, as to the registrations with the International Registry referred to above and the absence of other registrations with the International Registry and the due recordation of the Supplemental Schedule and all other documents or instruments with the FAA, the International Registry, or other registrar or agency, which is necessary to perfect and protect the rights of the Agent in the Additional Engine;

 

13

 

(E)           to the extent that an engine warranty in respect of such Additional Engine is available to Grantor, an engine warranty assignment in favor of Grantor covering such Additional Engine and, in the case of an Engine that is an Eligible Spare Engine, a manufacturer’s consent, if necessary, to assign the rights of any Warranties to the Agent; and

 

(F)           evidence that the insurance requirements of Section 4.3 with respect to an Engine are satisfied and that the insurance covering such Additional Engine shall be of the type usually carried by Grantor with respect to similar engines, and covering risks of the kind customarily insured against by Grantor; and

 

(ii)           Grantor shall furnish (or cause to be furnished to) the Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, with an opinion, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent, of Grantor’s counsel to the effect that (x) such documents reasonably requested by the Agent or the Lenders are sufficient to subject such Additional Engine to the Lien of this Security Agreement and, (y) as a requirement if the Additional Engine is to be an Eligible Spare Engine and otherwise as applicable, the Agent is entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to such Additional Engine to the same extent as with respect to the replaced Engine immediately preceding such replacement.

 

Upon satisfaction of all conditions to such substitution, (x) the Agent shall, at the expense of Grantor, execute and deliver to Grantor such documents and instruments as Grantor shall reasonably request to release any replaced Engine from the Lien of this Agreement (and Agent shall discharge or consent to the discharge of the registration of the International Interest in such replaced Engine vested in Agent pursuant to this Agreement), and (y) Grantor shall be entitled to receive all insurance proceeds and proceeds in respect of any Event of Loss giving rise to such replacement to the extent not previously applied to the purchase price of the Additional Engine.

 

4.7.         Event of Loss.  Grantor hereby assumes and shall bear the entire risk of any Event of Loss or other loss, theft, destruction of or damage to all or any part of any Engine or Spare Part.  Grantor shall promptly notify Agent in writing of any Event of Loss or of any damage to or loss, theft or destruction of any Collateral which does not constitute such an Event of Loss but having a cost of repair or replacement of in excess of $1,000,000 which notice shall include the cost of repair in the event of damage to such Collateral.  Grantor shall promptly cause any such damage or destruction to be repaired in accordance with the FARs and the manufacturer recommendations.

 

4.8.         Indemnification.

This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement and the repayment of the Secured Obligations.

 

14

 

(b)           Grantor shall, upon demand, pay to Agent (or Agent, may charge to the Loan Account) all the Lender Group Expenses which Agent may incur in connection with (i) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Agent hereunder or (iii) the failure by Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

With respect to Engines and Spare Parts that constitute Collateral first placed into service after October 22, 1994 and otherwise to the fullest extent available under applicable law, Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the Security Interest created in favor of Agent under this Agreement entitles Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, to all of the benefits of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to all such Engines and Spare Parts constituting an “aircraft engine,” “propeller,” “appliance” or “spare engine,” as such terms are defined in Section 40102 of the Federal Aviation Act.  Grantor will take such further actions, including the execution and delivery of such additional agreements and other documents (including a legal opinion as set forth in Section 2.4) as may, in the reasonable opinion of Agent, be advisable to provide Agent with the benefits of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Grantor shall ensure that except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 1.1(E) or Schedule 1.1(S) hereto, all Engines and Spare Parts that constitute Collateral shall have been first placed in service after October 22, 1994.

 

4.11.       Recognition of Rights Agreement.

 

Grantor shall obtain from each owner, lessor,  mortgagee, conditional vendor, secured party or other holder of an interest in any airframe on which an Engine that constitutes Collateral is installed a “Recognition of Rights Agreement” in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent, or the applicable lease, mortgage, conditional sale agreement, security agreement or other instrument shall contain an effective agreement in favor of Agent with respect to each such Engine, reasonably acceptable to Agent, to the effect of such Recognition of Rights Agreement.

 

5.             FURTHER ASSURANCES.

7.             AGENT’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.  Upon the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an Event of Default:

 

7.1.       Rights and Remedies.

 

(a)             Agent may, and, at the instruction of the Required Lenders, shall, exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, Agent without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantor to, and Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Agent and make it available to Agent at one or more locations requested by Agent, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as Agent may deem commercially reasonable.  Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code.  Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Grantor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the Code.  Grantor agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and Grantor is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the Code.

 

(b)           Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time, at the expense of Grantor, make all such expenditures for the payment of taxes, insurance, storage and other expenses related to the Collateral and for remarketing, maintenance, modifications, refurbishments, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral, as it may deem proper.  In each such case, Agent shall have the right to maintain, use, operate, store, lease, control or manage the Collateral and to exercise all rights and powers of Grantor relating to the Collateral in connection therewith, as Agent shall deem appropriate, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, modification, refurbishment, insurance, use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as Agent may determine; and Agent shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits of the Collateral and every

 

17

7.3.         Marshaling. Agent  shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or

 

18

 

under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

All risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Grantor.  The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose on it any duty to exercise such powers.  Except as provided in the Code, Agent shall not have any duty with respect to the Collateral or any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other Persons with respect to any Collateral.

13.1.       Effectiveness.  This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Grantor and accepted and executed by Agent.

 

13.2.       Continuing Security Interest; Assignments under Credit Agreement.  This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement (including Section 1.4 thereof) and the Commitments have expired or have been terminated, (b) be binding upon Grantor, and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that Grantor may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without prior written consent of Agent and Lenders and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Agent, and its successors, transferees and assigns.  Grantor consents to any change in the identity of the Agent on the International Registry occasioned by any assignment by Agent, and if required by the International Registry to reflect such change, will provide its consent thereto.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise.  No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by Grantor to Agent nor any additional Advances or other loans made by any Lender to Borrower, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantor by Agent, nor any other act of the Lender Group shall release Grantor from any obligation hereunder, except a release or discharge executed in writing by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement.  Agent shall not by any act,

 

20

 

 

delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth.  A waiver by Agent of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which Agent would otherwise have had on any other occasion.

 

13.3.     Interpretation.  Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Agent, Lenders, or Grantor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.  On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

 

13.4.     Severability of Provisions.  Any provision of this Agreement which 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 portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

13.5.     Entire Agreement; Amendments.  This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.  Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be modified, amended or waived except by the written agreement of the parties to this Agreement.  The foregoing notwithstanding, Agent may re-execute this Agreement, modify, amend or supplement the Schedules hereto or execute a supplemental Security Agreement, as provided herein, and the terms of any such modification, amendment, supplement or supplemental Security Agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by this reference.

 

13.6.     Security Interest Absolute.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, all rights of Agent, all Security Interests hereunder, and all obligations of Grantor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:

 

(a)           any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any of the Loan Documents, any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

 

(b)           any exchange, release, or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any Loan Document; or

 

(c)           any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Grantor.

 

13.7.     Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.  Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.

 

13.8.     Termination; Release.  Subject to Section 13.9, when the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in accordance with Section 1.3 and the Commitments shall have

 

21

 

expired or been irrevocably terminated, this Agreement shall terminate and all rights in the Collateral shall revert to Grantor.  Agent, at the request and sole expense of Grantor, will promptly execute and deliver to Grantor the necessary instruments (including Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and consents to the discharge of the Agent’s International Interests in the Engines) acknowledging the termination of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to Grantor, without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, such of the Collateral as may be in possession of Agent and has not theretofore been disposed of, applied or released.

 

13.9.     Reinstatement; Certain Payments.  If any claim is ever made upon Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by Agent or such Lender in payment or on account of any of the Secured Obligations, Agent or such Lender shall give prompt notice of such claim to, as applicable, Agent, Lender and Grantor, and if Agent or such Lender repays all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over Agent or such Lender or any of its property, or (ii) any good faith settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by Agent or such Lender with any such claimant, then and in such event Grantor agrees that (A) any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the cancellation of any Indebtedness hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or the termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (B) it shall be and remain liable to Agent or such Lender hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Agent or such Lender.

 

13.10.   Security Agreement; Credit Agreement.

 

(a)           The provisions of this Agreement are supplemental to the provisions of the Security Agreement.  In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Engine and Spare Parts provisions of the Security Agreement, it is the intention of the parties thereto that such provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other.  In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control.

 

(b)           The provisions of this Agreement are supplemental to the provisions of the Credit Agreement.  In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Engine and Spare Parts provisions of the Credit Agreement, it is the intention of the parties thereto that such provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other.  In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement shall control.

 

13.11.   Agent.  Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Agent” shall be a reference to Agent, for the benefit of each member of the Lender Group and each Bank Product Provider.

 

13.12.   Agent May Perform.

 

(a)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent (or its designee) (a) may proceed to perform any and all of the obligations of Grantor contained in any contract, lease, or other agreement constituting or evidencing the Collateral and exercise any and all rights of Grantor therein contained as fully as Grantor itself could, and (b) shall have the right to use Grantor’s rights under any intellectual property licenses, to the extent permitted thereunder, in connection with the enforcement of Agent’s rights hereunder, including the right to prepare for sale and sell any and all Collateral now or hereafter owned by Grantor and now or hereafter covered by such licenses.

 

22

 

(b)           If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and if Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantor.

 

13.13.   Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           This Agreement is a Loan Document.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.  Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.  The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.  The parties recognize that the FAA currently requires original signatures on all documents submitted for filing with the FAA and each party agrees to provide an original executed counterpart of this Agreement to be filed with the FAA.

 

(b)           Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

 

(c)           Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only.  Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

 

(d)           The pronouns used herein shall include, when appropriate, either gender and both singular and plural, and the grammatical construction of sentences shall conform thereto.

 

13.14.   Registrations with the International Registry.

Grantor consents to the registration with the International Registry of the International Interests granted under this Agreement (or any Supplemental Schedule), and covenants and agrees that it will take all such action reasonably requested by Agent in order to make any applicable registrations with the International Registry, including becoming a registered user entity with the International Registry and providing consents to any registration as may be contemplated by this Agreement.

 

13.15.   Amendment and Restated; No Novation.

 

(a)           This Agreement amends, restates, supersedes, and replaces in its entirety the Original Engine and Spare Parts Security Agreement.  The security interests granted by Grantor to any of Agent or the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers in the Collateral under the Original Engine and Spare Parts Security Agreement continue without interruption under this Agreement to secure the Secured Obligations and such security interests are hereby reaffirmed, ratified and confirmed in all respects.

 

(b)           Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution, novation, discharge or release of the obligations or liabilities outstanding under the Original Engine and Spare Parts Security Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith.  Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall be construed as a release or other

 

23

 

discharge of Grantor from any of its obligations or liabilities under the Original Engine and Spare Parts Security Agreement, except as expressly modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith.  Grantor hereby confirms and agrees that on and after the date hereof all references in any Loan Document to “the Engine and Spare Parts Security Agreement,” “thereto,” “thereof,” “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Original Engine and Spare Parts Security Agreement shall be a reference to the Original Engine and Spare Parts Security Agreement as amended and restated by this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, if any of the Engines which are installed on an airframe as of the date of this Supplemental Schedule, are subsequently removed from said airframe, this Supplemental Schedule shall be deemed to have created an “international interest” in and to such Engines from Grantor to Agent under the Cape Town Treaty effective as of the date of this Supplemental Schedule.

 

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Engine and Spare Parts Security Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Grantor hereby agrees as follows:

 

(a)           Grantor hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of each member of the Lender Group and each Bank Product Provider, to secure the Secured Obligations, a continuing first priority Security Interest in and Lien upon, and Schedule 1.1(E) of the Security Agreement is hereby amended to add thereto, the following Engines:

(c)           By executing and delivering this Supplemental Schedule, Grantor hereby represents and warrants to Agent that the Engines are aircraft engines that have at least 550 or more rated takeoff horsepower or its equivalent.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Supplemental Schedule by facsimile or by other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Supplemental Schedule.  Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Supplemental Schedule by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Supplemental Schedule but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Supplemental Schedule.

 

(e)           THE VALIDITY OF THIS SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE, THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(l)            all proceeds and products of the foregoing.

 

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD all and singular the Collateral unto the Agent, its permitted successors and assigns, forever, upon the terms and trusts herein set forth, for the benefit, security and protection of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, and for the uses and purposes and subject to the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the term “Collateral” shall not include: (i) any rights or interest in any contract, lease, permit, license, or license agreement described above (other than any such contract, lease, permit, license, or license agreement described in clause (b) above) of Borrower if under the terms of such contract, lease, permit, license, or license agreement, or applicable law with respect thereto, the grant of a security interest or lien therein is prohibited as a matter of law or under the

 

4

 

terms of such contract, lease, permit, license, or license agreement (provided, that, (A) the foregoing exclusions shall in no way be construed (1) to apply to the extent that any described prohibition or restriction is unenforceable or ineffective under Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408, or 9-409 of the Code or other applicable law, or (2) to apply to the extent that any consent or waiver has been obtained that would permit Agent’s security interest or lien notwithstanding the prohibition or restriction in such contract, lease, permit, license, or license agreement and (B) the foregoing exclusions shall in no way be construed to limit, impair, or otherwise affect any of Agent’s continuing security interests in and liens upon any rights or interests of Borrower in or to (1) monies due or to become due under or in connection with any described contract, lease, permit, license, license agreement, or the other Collateral, or (2) any proceeds from the collection, sale, license, lease, or other dispositions of any such contract, lease, permit, license, license agreement, or the other Collateral or (ii) the New Zealand Interchange Agreement.

 

The Borrower does hereby constitute and appoint the Agent the true and lawful attorney of the Borrower, irrevocably, for good and valuable consideration with full power of substitution, which appointment is coupled with an interest, with full power (in the name of the Borrower or otherwise) to ask for, require, demand, receive, sue for, compound and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due under or arising out of all property (in each case including insurance and requisition proceeds) which now or hereafter constitutes part of the Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or to take any action or to institute any proceeding which the Agent may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises as fully as the Borrower itself could do; provided that the Agent shall not exercise any such rights except during the continuance of an Event of Default.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions, during the continuance of any Event of Default but subject to the terms hereof and any mandatory requirements of applicable law, the Agent shall have the right under such power of attorney, but no obligation, in its discretion to file any claim or to take any other action or proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, which the Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the right, title and interest of the Agent in and to the security intended to be afforded hereby.

 

The Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Agent, the Borrower will, at its cost and expense, promptly and duly execute and deliver or cause to be duly executed and delivered any and all such further instruments and documents (including legal opinions reasonably requested by Agent), and do such further acts and things, including filings, recordations, registrations, and similar actions under the UCC, with the FAA, with the International Registry, or any other registry with respect to any Aircraft or any Engine, as the Agent may reasonably deem desirable in obtaining the full benefits of the security interest and assignment hereunder and of the rights and powers herein granted.

 

The Borrower does hereby warrant and represent that it has not granted a security interest in or assigned or pledged, or sold, transferred, leased, or otherwise disposed of, and hereby covenants that it will not (i) grant a security interest in, assign or pledge, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of, so long as the Lien of this Agreement has not been discharged in accordance with the terms hereof, except as permitted under the Credit Agreement, any of its rights, titles or interests in the Collateral to any Person other than the Agent, and (ii) except as provided hereunder, or in each case so long as no Event of Default is in existence and in each case solely except in a manner that does not materially adversely affect the Agent, the other members of the Lender Group, or the Bank Product Providers, enter into any agreement amending or supplementing any agreement assigned or pledged pursuant to Section 2.1(c) or (g) hereunder or execute any waiver or modification of, or consent under, the terms of, or exercise any rights, powers or privileges under, any agreement assigned or pledged pursuant to Section 2.1(c) or (g) hereunder, or settle or compromise any claim arising under any agreement assigned or pledged hereunder, submit or consent to the submission of any dispute, difference or other matter arising under or in respect of any agreement assigned or pledged pursuant to Section 2.1(c) or (g) hereunder, or to arbitration thereunder.

 

It is hereby further agreed that any and all property described or referred to in the granting clause hereof (subject to the limitations in this Section 2.1) which is hereafter acquired by the Borrower shall

ipso facto, and without any other conveyance, assignment or act on the part of the Borrower or the Agent, become and be subject to the Lien herein granted as fully and completely as though specifically described herein.

Section 3.1             Liens and Legal Opinions.

 

(A)          The Borrower shall not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on or International Interest against or with respect to any Aircraft, any Airframe, any Engine or any Part or title thereto or any interest therein except for Permitted Liens.

Section 3.2             Possession.

 

The Borrower shall not lease, or otherwise in any manner deliver, relinquish or transfer possession of any Airframe or any Engine to any Person or install any Engine, or permit any Engine to be installed, on an airframe other than the Airframes, without the prior consent of the Agent, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion, provided, however, that so long as (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, and (B) all approvals, consents or authorizations required from the Aeronautical Authority in connection with any such lease or such delivery, transfer or relinquishment of possession have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, the Borrower (or, except in the case of clause (ix) below, any Permitted Lessee) may, without the prior consent of the Agent:

 

(i)            enter into a charter or Wet Lease or other similar arrangement under which the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) has operational control of any Airframes and any Engines installed thereon in the course of the Borrower’s (or such Permitted Lessee’s) business (which shall not be considered a transfer of possession hereunder), provided that the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and such Permitted Lessee’s obligations under the relevant Permitted Lease shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such charter or Wet Lease or other similar arrangement;

 

(ii)           deliver possession of any Airframe or any Engine or any Part to the manufacturer thereof or to any FAA certified organization for testing, service, repair, maintenance, overhaul work or other similar purposes or for alterations or modifications or additions required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement;

 

6

 

(iii)          subject any Airframes and any Engines installed thereon to interchange agreements (provided that (x) any such interchange agreement with respect to any Airframe shall not result in the Borrower (or a Permitted Lessee) being out of possession of such Airframe for a period of more than two (2) consecutive days at any one time; (y) such interchange agreement is entered into with a Permitted Lessee; and (z) the party to such interchange agreement is not then subject to a proceeding or final order under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization laws on the date such interchange agreement is entered into) or any Engine to interchange or pooling agreements or arrangements which are applicable to other similar property owned by or leased to the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) and are entered into by the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) in the course of its airline business with any air carrier, provided that (A) no such agreement or arrangement shall under any circumstances result in, contemplate or require the transfer of title to the any Aircraft, any Airframe or any Engine or any effect upon the Agent’s first priority Lien thereon and (B) if the Lien of this Agreement shall nevertheless be adversely affected under any such agreement or arrangement, such circumstance shall be deemed to be an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine and the Borrower shall comply with Section 3.4 hereof in respect thereof;

 

(iv)          install an Engine on an airframe owned by the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) free and clear of all Liens except (A) Permitted Liens, (B) those which apply only to the engines (other than the Engines), appliances, parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories, furnishings and other equipment (other than Parts) installed on such airframe, and (C) those created by the rights of other air carriers under interchange or pooling agreements or other arrangements customary in the airline industry which do not contemplate, permit or require the transfer of title to such airframe or engines installed thereon;

 

(v)           install an Engine on an airframe, leased to the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) or purchased by the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement, but only if (A) such airframe is free and clear of all Liens, except (i) the rights of the parties to such lease, or any such secured financing arrangement, covering such airframe and (ii) Liens of the type permitted by Section 3.2(iv) and (B) Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) shall have received from the lessor, mortgagee, secured party or conditional seller, in respect of such airframe, a written agreement (which may be a copy of the lease, mortgage, security agreement, conditional sale or other agreement covering such airframe), whereby such Person agrees that it will not acquire or claim any right, title or interest in, or Lien on, such Engine by reason of such Engine being installed on such airframe at any time while such Engine is subject to this Agreement (or, in the case of such Permitted Lessee, the relevant Permitted Lease);

 

(vi)          install an Engine on an airframe, owned by the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee), leased by the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) or purchased by the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement under circumstances where neither clause (iv) nor clause (v) above is applicable, provided that any such installation (so long as the same shall be continuing) shall be deemed an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine and the Borrower shall comply with Section 3.4(h) hereof;

 

(vii)         transfer possession of any Airframe or any Engine to the United States of America or any instrumentality thereof pursuant to the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program (as established and administered pursuant to Executive Order 11490, as amended, as superseded by United States Executive Order No. 12656) or any similar or substitute program (“CRAF Program”), in which event Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) shall promptly notify Agent in writing of any such transfer of possession and, in the case of any transfer pursuant to the CRAF Program, in such notification shall identify by name, address and telephone numbers the Contracting Office Representatives of the Military Airlift Command of the United States Air Force to whom notices must be given and to whom requests or claims must be made to the extent applicable under the CRAF Program;

 

(viii)        transfer possession of any Airframe or any Engine to the United States of America when required by Applicable Law (it being understood that nothing in this clause (viii) shall relieve the

 

7

 

Borrower from its obligations under Section 3.4(a) if such transfer becomes an Event of Loss), in which event Borrower shall promptly notify Agent in writing of any such transfer of possession;

 

(ix)           subject to the provisions of this Section 3.2, enter into a lease with respect to any Engine or any Airframe and any of the Engines or engines then installed on any Airframe with any Permitted Lessee, if (A) Borrower shall provide written notice to Agent at least 10 days prior to entering into any such lease, (B) in any such case, the Permitted Lessee under such lease is not subject to a proceeding or final order under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization laws on the date such lease is entered into, (C) in the event that the Permitted Lessee under such lease is a foreign air carrier or Person based in a country other than the United States, the United States maintains normal diplomatic relations with the country in which such proposed Permitted Lessee is principally based at the time such lease is entered into and (D) in the event that the Permitted Lessee under such lease is a foreign air carrier or Person based in a country other than the United States, each of the following shall be true and correct and prior to the effectiveness of such lease Agent shall have received an opinion (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent) of counsel to Borrower (reasonably acceptable to Agent) in such jurisdiction to the effect that (I) the terms of the proposed lease will be legal, valid, binding and (subject to customary exceptions, including applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally) enforceable against the proposed Permitted Lessee in the country in which the proposed Permitted Lessee is principally based, (II) there exist no possessory rights in favor of the Permitted Lessee under such lease or other third party (including any Government Entity) under the laws of such Permitted Lessee’s country of domicile that would, upon bankruptcy or insolvency of or other default by the Borrower and assuming that at such time such Permitted Lessee is not insolvent or bankrupt, prevent the repossession of any Aircraft in accordance with and when permitted by the terms of Section 4.1 upon the exercise by Agent of its remedies under Section 4.1, (III) the laws of such Permitted Lessee’s country of domicile require fair compensation by the government of such jurisdiction payable in currency freely convertible into Dollars for the loss of use of or title to such Engine or such Airframe in the event of the requisition by such government of such use or title (it being understood that in the event such opinion cannot be given in a form reasonably satisfactory to Agent, such opinion will be waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and the Required Lenders is provided to cover such requisition), (IV) the laws of such Permitted Lessee’s country of domicile would give recognition to the Lien of this Agreement upon such Engine(s) or Airframe(s), (V) all filings, if any, required to be made in such jurisdiction in connection with the execution of such lease in order to protect the interest of Agent in such Engine(s) or Airframe(s) have been made, (VI) it is not necessary for Agent or any Lender to register or qualify to do business in such jurisdiction, if not already so registered or qualified, as a result, in whole or in part, of the proposed lease, (VII) the agreement of such Permitted Lessee that its rights under the lease are subject and subordinate to all the terms of this Agreement is enforceable against such Permitted Lessee under Applicable Law of such country, (VIII) there is no tort liability against a secured lender or agent thereof not in possession or operational control of aircraft in such country more onerous than under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (it being agreed that in the event such opinion cannot be given in a form reasonably satisfactory to Agent, such opinion will be waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and the Required Lenders is provided to cover the risk of such tort liability), (IX) that all necessary governmental approvals required for such Engine(s) or Airframe(s) to be imported and, to the extent reasonably obtainable, exported from the applicable country of domicile upon repossession of such leased Engine(s) or Airframe(s) by the Agent (and the Borrower as lessor) have been obtained and any exchange permits necessary to allow all payments of rent and other payments under any lease assigned to the Agent hereunder are in full force and effect, (X) Permitted Lessee shall not be eligible to assert or effectively waive any right to sovereign immunity; and (XI) to such further effect with respect to all matters reasonably requested by Agent or any Lender;

 

provided  that (1) the rights of any transferee who receives possession by reason of a transfer permitted by this Section 3.2 (other than by a transfer of an Engine which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and subordinate to all the terms of this Agreement; (2) the Borrower shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance of all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the other applicable Loan Documents, and the Bank Product Agreements shall remain in effect; (3) no lease or transfer of possession otherwise in compliance with this Section 3.2 shall (A) result in any

 

8

 

registration or re-registration of any Aircraft or the maintenance, operation or use thereof except in compliance with Sections 3.3(c), (d) and (f), provided further, that in the case of a lease to a Permitted Lessee that is a “foreign air carrier” under and as defined in the FAA Regulations permitted pursuant to Section 3.2(ix), Borrower may cause such Aircraft to be registered in accordance with Section 3.3(b) below with the applicable aviation authority of such Permitted Lessee in the event that such Permitted Lessee is organized under and based in a country listed on Schedule 2 other than the United States and such registration is required by the applicable laws or regulations of such country or (B) permit any action not permitted to the Borrower hereunder; (4) if any such lease or transfer of possession shall, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, result in any risk of adverse tax consequences to such Lender, the Borrower shall, prior to entering into the same, provide an indemnity satisfactory in form and substance to such Lender against any such adverse tax consequences; (5) the Borrower shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent and each Lender that the insurance required by Section 3.3(k) remains in effect and of such additional insurance as Agent may reasonably request and for the purpose of the Agent’s and the Lenders’ review of such insurance requirements, the Borrower shall, at least five (5) days prior to the date of any lease permitted under this Section 3.2, provide to Agent and each Lender, forms of the broker’s report and insurance certificates required by Section 3.3(k)(vi); (6) all necessary documents shall have been duly filed or recorded in applicable public offices as may be required to preserve the Lien of this Agreement upon the Airframes and Engines; and (7) Borrower shall reimburse Agent and each Lender, on an After Tax Basis, for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, registration and filing fees, notary fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with any such lease or transfer.

 

In the case of any lease permitted under this Section 3.2, the Borrower will include in such lease appropriate provisions which (a) make such lease expressly subject and subordinate to all of the terms of this Agreement, including the rights of the Agent to avoid such lease in the exercise of its rights to repossession of the Airframes and Engines hereunder and thereunder; (b) expressly prohibit any subleasing of the Airframes and Engines; (c) require that the Airframes and Engines be maintained in accordance with a Maintenance Program; (d) require the Permitted Lessee to comply with the terms of Section 3.3(k) hereof; (e) require that the Airframes and Engines be used in accordance with the limitations applicable to the Borrower’s possession and use provided in this Agreement, (f) as to the maintenance, operation, possession and inspection of any Aircraft, are the same in all material respects as the applicable provisions of this Agreement, and (g) complies with clause (e) of Section 4.5.

 

Borrower agrees to assign, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, each such lease to the Agent, which collateral assignment shall be effected pursuant to the filing of a financing statement against Borrower and such filings with the FAA, the International Registry and the country of registration of the applicable Aircraft if not the United States as provided in Section 3.3(b) below as the Agent may request.  With respect to each lease which has a term (including possible renewal and extension periods) of more than one year or involves a re-registration of the applicable Aircraft, (i) such collateral assignment shall be effected pursuant to an agreement (including a consent from the Lessee to such assignment) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and which agreement shall be accompanied by such legal opinions, certificates and financing statements relating to the perfection of such collateral assignment as may be reasonably requested by the Agent; and (ii) such lease shall provide that all payments due thereunder shall be paid to Borrower unless and until notice has been provided by the Agent to the lessee of such lease of the occurrence of an Event of Default, at which time all rental payments shall be made by Lessee to Agent.

The Agent agrees that with respect to any lease collaterally assigned to the Agent as provided herein, upon termination of such lease, the

 

9

 

Agent shall assign or consent to the assignment of the International Interest, if any, attributable to such lease to Borrower.

 

Section 3.3             Registration and Operation.

 

(a)           Registration and Recordation.  Each Aircraft shall be duly registered in the name of the Borrower under the Transportation Code or as otherwise permitted under Section 3.3(b), and, to the extent applicable, on the International Registry, at all times; provided that the Agent shall execute and deliver all such documents as the Borrower may reasonably request for the purpose of effecting, continuing or (as provided in this Section 3.3(a)) changing such registration.  Unless the Lien of this Agreement has been discharged, Borrower shall also cause this Agreement to be duly recorded and at all times maintained of record on such registries as a first-priority perfected mortgage on each Aircraft, each Airframe, and each of the Engines.

 

(b)           Re-Registration.  Notwithstanding the registration requirements of Section 3.3(a) , the Borrower shall have the right, at any time so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, and at the Borrower’s cost, to request with at least 30 days’ prior written notice, a change in the registration of an Aircraft to any country with which the United States maintains normal diplomatic relations as of such proposed date of re-registration and which is listed on Schedule 2 hereto.  Any such re-registration of such Aircraft shall be in connection with the leasing by the Borrower of such Aircraft to a Permitted Lessee that is a “foreign air carrier” under and as defined in the FAA Regulations domiciled in such jurisdiction and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  The Agent agrees to cooperate in good faith with Borrower, at the Borrower’s cost, in effecting such permitted re-registration; provided that prior to any such change in the country of registry of such Aircraft, the Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory in its judgment, acting reasonably, which evidence may be established by means of legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Agent from counsel of recognized reputation satisfactory to the Agent and qualified under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction, certificates of insurance, officer’s certificates and/or other means requested by or acceptable to the Agent, that:

 

(i)            such country would provide substantially equivalent (both as a matter of law and practice) rights and remedies for mortgagees in similar transactions as provided under the laws of United States, including with respect to repossession of such Aircraft and the sale, leasing or other disposition of such Aircraft (it being understood that, in the absence of restrictions similar to those imposed under §§ 362 and 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, rights and remedies similar to those available under § 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code are not required);

 

(ii)           after giving effect to such change in registration, Borrower’s ownership interest in such Aircraft shall be reflected in the aviation and  other applicable registers of the jurisdiction of registration to the extent permitted by applicable law and shall be recognized under the laws of such jurisdiction, and all filings, recordings or other action necessary, reasonably advisable or customary for secured aircraft lenders to effect or protect the same have been or are in the process of being accomplished;

 

(iii)          after giving effect to such change in registration, the obligations of Borrower, and the rights and remedies of the Agent under this Agreement, shall remain valid, binding and enforceable under the laws of the jurisdiction to which the laws of the jurisdiction of registry would apply as the applicable governing law in respect of such rights and remedies; provided that opinions of counsel addressing this provision may be subject, with respect to the enforceability of remedies, to customary exceptions relating to insolvency or bankruptcy, general principles of equity, or other similar matters which do not hinder the Agent’s ability to enforce its rights or remedies under this Agreement in any manner greater 

 

10

 

than would have been the case had such Aircraft been registered in the United States and, if such jurisdiction has restrictions similar to those imposed under §§ 362 and 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, entitled to the benefits of §1110 of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

(iv)          after giving effect to such change in registration, the Security Interest and Lien of this Agreement in such Aircraft and the lease thereof shall be reflected in the aviation and other applicable registers of the jurisdiction of registration (and the International Registry) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and shall be recognized under the laws of such jurisdiction and will continue as a valid and duly perfected first priority security interest under the laws of such jurisdiction (offering substantially the same or better level of protection, rights and remedies as compared to a registered United States aircraft mortgage in the form and substance of this Agreement and, if such jurisdiction has restrictions similar to those imposed under §§ 362 and 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, entitled to the benefits of §1110 of the Bankruptcy Code), and all filings, recordings or other action necessary, reasonably advisable or customary for secured aircraft lenders (including the filing or recordation of an ancillary security agreement as provided below) to effect or protect the same have been or are in the process of being accomplished;

 

(v)           it is not necessary, solely as a consequence of such change in registration and without giving effect to any other activity of the Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider, for such Person to qualify to do business in such jurisdiction;

 

(vi)          (without limiting Borrower’s obligation to provide insurance reasonably acceptable to the Agent covering the repossession risks and the risk of requisition of use or title of such Aircraft by the government of such jurisdiction so long as such Aircraft is registered under the laws of such jurisdiction) the laws of such jurisdiction require fair compensation by the government of such jurisdiction payable in currency freely convertible into Dollars for the loss of use or title of such Aircraft in the event of the requisition by such government of such use or title;

 

(vii)         after giving effect to such change in registration, the insurance requirements of Section 3.3(k) are satisfied in respect of such Aircraft;

 

(viii)        any exchange permits necessary to remit rent and other payments, including the payment of insurance proceeds and other Event of Loss payments, provided for under the related lease shall be in full force and effect;

 

(ix)           after giving effect to such change in registration, the original indemnities in favor of the Lenders and the Agent under the Credit Agreement and this Agreement afford each such party substantially the same or better protection as provided prior to such change of registry;

 

(x)            that any import and (unless the Borrower shall have provided insurance reasonably acceptable to the Agent covering the risk of the government of such jurisdiction preventing the export of such Aircraft out of such jurisdiction so long as such Aircraft is registered under the laws of such jurisdiction) export permits or licenses necessary, reasonably advisable, or customarily requested by secured aircraft lenders to take such Aircraft into or out of such jurisdiction shall be in full force and effect;

 

11

 

 

(xi)           if the same is necessary or advisable in order to effect a de-registration of such Aircraft, the Agent, as assignee of the Borrower, shall have obtained a de-registration power of attorney and, if applicable, an Irrevocable De-Registration and Export Request Authorization under the Cape Town Convention, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent, in respect of such Aircraft from the lessee and the Borrower and the Borrower and the lessee shall have complied with Section 4.5(e);

 

(xii)          such Aircraft shall have been duly certified as to type and airworthiness by the appropriate aviation authority;

 

(xiii)         any value added tax, customs duty, tariff or similar governmental charge relating to the change in jurisdiction or registration of such Aircraft, or the import thereof, shall have been paid or adequately provided for by the Borrower to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent;

 

(xiv)        such new country of registry imposes (or the lessee has adopted and is required under the lease to follow) aircraft maintenance standards and airworthiness standards not materially different, in the reasonable judgment of the Agent, from those of the FAA;

 

(xv)         the law of such new country of registry does not impose greater tort (including strict) liability on a secured party or lender in respect of the aircraft when not in operational control thereof than under U.S. law;

 

(xvi)        the laws of such new country of registry do not provide Borrower or the lessee possessory rights which would upon the Borrower’s or lessee’s bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency or a Default or Event of Default hereunder, or default under the applicable lease or other contractual obligations, prevent the repossession, return, deregistration and the re-export of such Aircraft to the Agent in the United States in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in any manner greater than would have been the case had such Aircraft been registered in the United States (it being understood that in the absence of restrictions similar to those imposed under §§ 362 and 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, rights and remedies similar to those under § 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code shall not be required);

 

(xvii)       the lease complies with Section 3.2;

 

(xviii)      such actions as required elsewhere under this Agreement in connection therewith shall have been accomplished; and

 

(xvix)       Agent shall have received such evidence with respect to such other matters as the Agent may request that are necessary, reasonably advisable, or customary for aircraft secured lenders.

 

All reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of the Agent and each other member of the Lender Group incurred in connection with any such re-registration shall be paid or reimbursed on an after-tax basis by the Borrower.  Such costs and expenses, to the extent incurred, shall include the following:  (w) the fees and disbursements of United States counsel to the Agent and to each other member of the Lender Group and of counsel to the Agent and to each other member of the Lender Group in the country of registry; (x) notarization, translation, filing or recordation fees, taxes or similar payments incurred in connection with the registration of such Aircraft, registration of this Agreement or an ancillary local law mortgage or security agreement and the creation and perfection of the security interests 

 

12

 

herein and therein; (y) any costs and expenses incurred in connection with any UCC filings or other filings necessary to continue in the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction the perfection of the security interests herein and in such Aircraft and other Collateral; and (z) any other costs, expenses or taxes, whether initial or continuing, incurred by the Agent or the Lender Group as a result of the registration of such Aircraft, or the creation of the security interest therein, under the country of registry.

 

In addition to the above, prior to any such re-registration, the Agent shall have received assurances, reasonably satisfactory to it, to the effect that (A) the insurance provisions of this Agreement will have been complied with after giving effect to such change of registry, (B) the original indemnities (and any additional indemnities for which the Borrower is then willing to enter into a binding agreement to indemnify) in favor of the Agent, the Lender Group, and the Bank Product Providers under the Credit Agreement afford each such party substantially the same protection as provided prior to such change of registry, and (C) such change will not result in the imposition of, or increase in the amount of, any Tax for which the Borrower is not required to indemnify, or is not then willing to enter into a binding agreement to indemnify, the Agent, the Lender Group, or the Bank Product Providers.

 

After any such re-registration, the Borrower shall, at its cost and to the extent permitted by the laws of such country, continue to cause the interests of the Agent in such Aircraft and the other Collateral to be duly registered or recorded under the laws of such country and at all times thereafter to remain so duly registered or recorded unless and until changed as provided herein, and shall cause to be done at all times all other acts (including the filing, recording and delivery of any document or instrument and the payment of any sum) necessary, reasonably advisable or customary for secured aircraft lenders in such country, in order to maintain the Agent’s interest in and to such Aircraft or such lease or other collateral as against the Borrower, any Permitted Lessee or any third parties in such jurisdiction.

 

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, if necessary, reasonably advisable or customary for aircraft secured lenders or as requested by Agent, execute, deliver, notarize, legalize, register and record, at the Borrower’s expense, a security agreement or mortgage governed by the law and in the language of such jurisdiction of registry.  Any such ancillary security agreement shall be deemed to be a supplement to this Agreement, with both this  Agreement and such ancillary security agreement being interpreted to the maximum extent possible in a manner that is consistent with the provisions hereof and the other Loan Documents.  Inconsistencies between such ancillary security agreement, this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be reconciled so that terms and conditions in one agreement but not in the other are deemed to be additional, and not inconsistent, terms and conditions; provided, however, that in the event of a direct irreconcilable conflict between the two agreements, this Agreement shall control.

 

(c)           Markings.  If permitted by Applicable Law, on or reasonably promptly after the delivery of this Agreement for each Airframe, Borrower will cause to be affixed to, and maintained in, the cockpit of such Airframe, in a clearly visible location, and in a visible location on each Engine, a placard of a reasonable size and shape bearing the legend, in English, set forth below:

 

Mortgaged to

Wells Fargo Capital Finance, Inc.,

 

as Agent

 

Such placard may be removed temporarily, if necessary, in the course of maintenance of such Airframe or such Engine, as the case may be.  If such placard is damaged or becomes illegible, Borrower shall promptly replace it with a placard complying with the requirements of this Section 3.3(c).

(d)           Compliance With Laws.  The Borrower shall not permit any Airframe or any Engine to be used or operated in any material respect in violation of any Applicable Law or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration relating to such Aircraft or such Engines issued by any competent governmental authority, unless (i) the validity thereof is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings which do not involve a danger (other than a de minimis danger) of the sale, forfeiture or loss of such Airframe or such Engine or the Lien of this Agreement thereupon, any risk of criminal liability or any material risk of civil liability against Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider, or (ii) it is not possible for the Borrower (or a Permitted Lessee) to comply with the Laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States because of a conflict with the Applicable Laws of the United States.

 

(e)           Operation.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Borrower (and any Permitted Lessee) shall be entitled to operate, use, locate, employ or otherwise utilize or not utilize the Airframes, Engines and Parts in any lawful manner or place in accordance with the Borrower’s (or such Permitted Lessee’s) business judgment.  The Borrower shall not operate, use or locate any Airframe or any Engine, or suffer any Airframe or any Engine to be operated, used or located (i) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 3.3(k) hereof, except in the case of a requisition by the United States of America where the Borrower obtains (and provides evidence of) indemnity from the Government for the benefit of the Additional Insureds against substantially the same risks and for at least the amounts of the insurance required by Section 3.3(k) hereof covering such area, or (ii) unless covered by war risk insurance, unless such Airframe or such Engine is operated or used under contract with the Government under which contract the Government assumes liability for substantially the same risks, on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Agent, in at least the same amounts as would be covered by such insurance.

 

(f)            Information for Filings.  The Borrower shall promptly furnish to Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider such information as may be required to enable Agent, such member of the Lender Group, or such Bank Product Provider timely to file any reports required to be filed by it with any Government Entity because of, or in connection with, the interest of Agent, such member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider in the Aircraft, Airframes, or Engines, or any other part of the Collateral.

 

(g)           Maintenance.  The Borrower, at its own cost and expense, shall service, repair, maintain, overhaul and test each Aircraft, each Airframe and each Engine or cause the same to be done in accordance with (1)(i) a Maintenance Program and (ii) maintenance standards required by the FAA, and shall keep or cause to be kept each Aircraft, each Airframe and each Engine in as good operating condition as where originally mortgaged hereunder and after giving effect to the refurbishment contemplated to be financed hereby, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and shall keep or cause to be kept each Aircraft, each Airframe and each Engine in such operating condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of each Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times under the applicable rules and regulations of the FAA, except when all aircraft of the same type, model or series as the Airframes (powered by engines of the same type as those with which the Airframes shall be equipped at the time of grounding) have been grounded by the FAA, and (2) except during periods when a Permitted Lease is in effect, the same standards Borrower uses with respect to similar aircraft of similar size in its fleet operated (whether owned or leased) by Borrower in similar circumstances and during any period in which a Permitted Lease is in effect, the same standards the Permitted Lessee uses with respect to similar aircraft of similar size in its fleet and operated (whether owned or leased) by the Permitted Lessee in similar circumstances.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Borrower (or Permitted Lessee) from taking any Aircraft out of service for maintenance or modifications permitted hereunder or under the Credit Agreement or storage in accordance with applicable FAA requirements and sound practice for such storage.  The Borrower shall maintain or cause to be maintained all records, logs and other documents required by the FAA to be maintained in respect of each Aircraft in English.  Borrower further agrees that the Aircraft, Airframes and Engines will be maintained, used, serviced, repaired, overhauled or inspected in compliance with Applicable Law with respect to the maintenance of the Aircraft 

 

14

 

and compliance with each applicable airworthiness certificate, license and registration relating to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine issued by the FAA.

 

(h)           Replacement of Parts.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the third sentence of Section 3.3(j) or if an Airframe or an Engine to which a Part relates has suffered an Event of Loss, the Borrower, at its own cost and expense, will (or will cause a Permitted Lessee to), promptly replace all Parts that may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever.  In addition, in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, the Borrower (or a Permitted Lessee), at its own cost and expense, may remove any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use, provided that the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee), at its own cost and expense, shall, except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the third sentence of Section 3.3(j), replace such Parts as promptly as practicable with replacement Parts or temporary replacement parts as provided in Section 3.3(i) hereof.  All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens except for pooling arrangements to the extent permitted by Section 3.3(i) and Permitted Liens and shall be in as good operating condition as, and shall have a value and utility at least equal to, the Parts replaced assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof.

 

Except in respect of any Part that the Borrower may remove from an Airframe or an Engine as provided in the proviso to the third sentence of Section 3.3(j) and the fourth sentence of Section 3.3(j), all Parts at any time removed from an Airframe or an Engine shall remain the property of the Borrower and subject to this Agreement, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by Parts that have been incorporated or installed in or attached to an Airframe or an Engine and that meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified in the first paragraph of this Section 3.3(h).  Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to an Airframe or an Engine as provided in this Section 3.3(h), without further act, (i) title to the replaced Part shall be free and clear of all rights of the Agent and such Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder; (ii) title to such replacement Part shall thereupon vest in the Borrower; and (iii) such replacement Part shall become subject to the Lien of this Agreement and be deemed part of such Airframe or such Engine, as the case may be, for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or such Engine.

 

(i)            Pooling of Parts.

 

Any Part removed from an Airframe or an Engine as provided in the first paragraph of Section 3.3(h) may be subjected by the Borrower (or a Permitted Lessee) to a pooling or parts leasing agreement or arrangement of a type customary in the airline industry entered into in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s (or such Permitted Lessee’s) business, provided the part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to an Airframe or an Engine in accordance with Section 3.3(h) as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part.  In addition, any replacement part when incorporated or installed in or attached to the any Airframe or any Engine in accordance with Section 3.3(h) may be owned by another airline or vendor as customary in the airline industry, subject to a pooling or parts leasing arrangement, provided that the Borrower (or a Permitted Lessee), at its expense as promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable, and in any event, within one hundred eighty (180) days thereof, either (i) causes title to such temporary replacement part to vest in the Borrower, subject to the Lien of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.3(h) and free and clear of all other Liens except Permitted Liens, at which time such temporary replacement part shall become a Part and become subject to this Agreement or (ii) replaces such temporary replacement part by incorporating or installing in or attaching to such Airframe or such Engine a further replacement Part owned by the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) free and clear of all Liens except 

 

15

 

Permitted Liens and by causing such further replacement Part to become subject to the Lien of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.3(h).

 

(j)            Alterations, Modifications and Additions.

 

The Borrower, at its own expense, shall make (or cause to be made) alterations and modifications in and additions to any Airframe and any Engine as may be required to be made from time to time by Applicable Law and to meet applicable standards of any airworthiness directives or any other standard of the FAA and any mandatory service bulletins of the Manufacturer or the Engine Manufacturer or in order to maintain the insurance required under Section 3.3(k) regardless of upon whom such requirements are, by their terms, nominally imposed; provided that the Borrower may, in good faith and by appropriate procedure, contest the validity or application of any such standard in any reasonable manner which does not adversely affect the interests of the Agent and does not involve any risk (other than a de minimis risk) of sale, forfeiture or loss of any Aircraft, any Airframe or any Engine, or the Lien of this Agreement thereupon, any material risk of civil penalty or any risk of criminal liability being imposed on Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider.  In addition, the Borrower (or a Permitted Lessee), at its own expense, may from time to time make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to any Airframe and any Engine as the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business including, without limitation, removal of Parts which Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) deems are obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use in such Aircraft, such Airframe or such Engine so long as the aggregate value of such removed Parts (based on their value as of the date of execution of this Agreement that includes hereunder such Airframe or such Engine to which such Part (as of such date of execution) is attached does not exceed $500,000 during the period from the date of execution of this Agreement until the Secured Obligations are paid in full and all Commitments of Agent, the other members of the Lender Group, and the Bank Product Providers are terminated, provided further that no such alteration, modification or addition diminishes the value, utility, estimated residual value (with respect to applicable Airframe only), condition, remaining useful life or airworthiness of such Airframe or such Engine below the value, utility, estimated residual value, condition, remaining useful life or airworthiness thereof immediately prior to such alteration, modification or addition, assuming such Airframe or such Engine was then in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Agreement, except that the value (but not the utility, estimated residual value, condition, remaining useful life or airworthiness) of the Aircraft may be reduced by the value of Parts which the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) has removed as permitted above.  All Parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to any Airframe or any Engine as the result of any alteration, modification or addition effected by the Borrower (or a Permitted Lessee) shall become the property of the Borrower and, without further act, subject to the Lien of this Agreement and shall be free and clear of any other Liens except Permitted Liens, provided that the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) may remove any such Part from any Airframe or any Engine if (i) such Part is in addition to, and not in replacement of or in substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or such Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of, or in substitution for, any such original Part, (ii) such Part is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to such Airframe or such Engine pursuant to the terms of Section 3.3(g) or the first sentence of this Section 3.3(j) or pursuant to the terms of any insurance policies required to be carried hereunder or under any Applicable Law and (iii) such Part can be removed from such Airframe or such Engine without diminishing or impairing the value, condition, utility, estimated residual value, remaining useful life or airworthiness which such Airframe or such Engine would have had at the time of removal had such alteration, modification or addition not been effected by the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) assuming such Aircraft was otherwise maintained in the condition required by this Agreement.  Upon the removal by the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee) of any such Part as above provided, title thereto shall, without further act, remain in the Borrower (or such Permitted Lessee), free and clear of all rights of the Agent and such Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder.

 

16

 

(k)           Insurance.

 

(i)            General Aviation and Property Damage Insurance.

 

The Borrower shall, without expense to the Agent, any Lender, or any Bank Product Provider, maintain or cause to be maintained in effect at all times with independent insurers of internationally recognized reputation and responsibility, and reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Lenders, airline general liability insurance (including, inter alia, aircraft third party, passenger legal liability, property damage, general third party legal liability and product liability coverage but excluding manufacturer’s product liability coverage) with respect to each Aircraft in an amount not less than the greater of (i) the amount which Borrower may carry from time to time on other similar aircraft in its fleet (whether owned or leased) and (ii) the Minimum Liability Amount; provided that an agreement of the Government, for the benefit of the Additional Insureds, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent, to insure against or indemnify for substantially the same risks to at least the same amount shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.3(k)(i), provided that on or prior to the date of such agreement, the Borrower shall provide Agent with an Officer’s Certificate of the Borrower certifying that any such insurance or indemnity provides protection no less favorable than insurance coverage that would comply with this Section 3.3(k)(i).  Such insurance shall be of the type usually carried by the Borrower with respect to similar aircraft and engines, and covering risks of the kind customarily insured against by the Borrower.  In addition, without limitation of the requirements of the preceding sentence (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence), the Borrower shall in all events maintain in effect, at all times war risk and allied perils liability insurance in accordance with the London form AVN52C (as in effect on September 1, 2001) or its equivalent form reasonably acceptable to Agent (or an agreement of the Government in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent to insure against or indemnify for substantially the same risks), from time to time, with respect to such Aircraft, (I) in an amount not less than the greater of (x) the amount of war risk and allied perils liability insurance from time to time applicable to similar aircraft owned or operated by the Borrower and (y) $750,000,000 per occurrence, and (II) maintained with the Government or independent insurers of internationally recognized reputation and responsibility reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Lenders.

 

During any period that any Aircraft is grounded and not in operation, the Borrower may, so long as the Borrower takes reasonable measures to protect such Aircraft, modify the insurance required by this Section 3.3(k)(i) to modify the amounts of general aviation liability insurance, the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance, in all circumstances to conform to such insurance as is customary in the United States airlines industry for air carriers similarly situated with the Borrower in respect of similar aircraft which are grounded, not in operation, and stored or hangared, provided that in all instances, (1) the amounts of coverage and scope of risk covered and the type of insurance shall be at a minimum no less favorable than the insurance as from time to time applicable to aircraft owned or leased by Borrower on the ground, not in operation, and stored or hangared and (2) Borrower provides Agent with not less than 30 days prior written notice of such modification.

 

(ii)           Insurance Against Loss or Damage to the Aircraft and Engines.

 

The Borrower shall, without expense to the Agent, any Lender, or any Bank Product Provider, maintain or cause to be maintained in effect at all times with insurers of internationally recognized reputation and responsibility, and reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Lenders agreed value, ground and flight hull insurance (including insurance covering confiscation or requisition by the jurisdiction of registration of each Aircraft if other than the United States) covering each Aircraft for an amount at all times (even when an Aircraft is grounded or in storage) not less than the amount of the Current Fair Market Value of such Aircraft set forth in the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered under the Credit Agreement (the “Stipulated Loss Value”), provided that, neither the Borrower nor any Permitted Lessee shall be required to maintain flight aircraft hull insurance with respect to an Aircraft during any period in which such Aircraft is grounded and properly stored or hangared (but each such Person shall be required to maintain agreed value ground hull insurance in an amount not less than the Stipulated Loss Value and on the other terms required hereby).  Such

 

17

 

insurance shall not provide insurers with a right to replace any Airframe or any Engine with another airframe or Engine.  Such hull insurance or other personal property insurance of the Borrower (or a Permitted Lessee) shall cover any and all Engines or engines and Parts while not installed on an Airframe.  Such insurance shall be of the type usually carried by the Borrower with respect to similar aircraft and engines, and covering risks of the kind customarily insured against by the Borrower.  An agreement by the Government, for the benefit of the Additional Insureds, in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent, to insure against or indemnify for substantially the same risks to at least the same amount will satisfy any of the requirements of this Section 3.3(k)(ii), provided that on or prior to the date of such agreement, the Borrower shall provide Agent with an Officer’s Certificate of the Borrower certifying that any such insurance or indemnity provides protection no less favorable than insurance coverage that would comply with this Section 3.3(k)(ii).  Borrower (or any Permitted Lessee) shall in any event maintain at all times, with independent insurers of internationally recognized reputation and responsibility hull war risks and allied perils insurance in accordance with the London form LSW555B or its equivalent form reasonably acceptable to the Agent (or an agreement of the Government to insure against or indemnify for substantially the same risks) from time to time covering each Aircraft in an amount not less than the Stipulated Loss Value for each such Aircraft.

 

(iii)          Additional Insureds; Loss Payment.

 

The Borrower shall cause all policies of insurance carried in accordance with Section 3.3(k)(i) to name Agent, as agent for and on behalf of itself and the other Additional Insureds, as additional insured.  All policies carried under Section 3.3(k)(i) and Section 3.3(k)(ii) shall provide with respect to Agent, as agent for and on behalf of itself and the other Additional Insureds, that (i) none of their respective interests in such policies shall be invalidated by any act or omission or breach of warranty or condition contained in such policies by the Borrower or, in the case of any particular Additional Insured, any other Additional Insured; (ii) no cancellation of coverage for any reason, and no substantial change of coverage which adversely affects the interests of any such Additional Insured, shall be effective as to such Additional Insured until 30 days (or such lesser period as may be applicable in the case of any war risk coverage) after issuance to Agent of written notice from the insurers  (including via the Borrower’s insurance broker) of such cancellation or change; (iii) they shall have no liability for premiums, commissions, calls, assessments or advances with respect to such policies; (iv) such policies carried in accordance with Section 3.3(k)(i) will be primary without any right of contribution from any other insurance carried by such Additional Insureds; (v) the insurers waive any rights of set-off, counterclaim, deduction or subrogation against such Additional Insureds, but only to the same extent that Borrower has waived its right of recovery against and/or agreed to indemnify the Additional Insureds or otherwise agreed to be liable therefor; (vi) shall apply worldwide and have only such territorial restrictions or limitations as may be reasonably acceptable to Agent; and (vii) with respect to policies carried under Section 3.3(k)(ii), shall contain a 50/50% Clause per Lloyd’s Aviation Underwriter’s Association Standard Policy Form AVS 103.  Each liability policy shall provide that all 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 provide that the exercise by the insurer of rights of subrogation derived from rights retained by the Borrower will not delay payment of any claim that would otherwise be payable but for such rights of subrogation.  Each hull policy shall name the Agent as sole lender loss payee.

 

(iv)          Application of Hull Insurance Proceeds.

 

Subject to Section 3.4(g), as between the Agent and the Borrower, any payments received under policies of hull or other property insurance required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.3(k)(ii) and any payments received in respect of any condemnation awards, shall be applied as follows:

 

(A)          in respect of any property damage or loss not constituting an Event of Loss, such payments shall be paid over to and held in a controlled account, and shall, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.6(d) of the Credit Agreement, be applied to pay (or to reimburse Borrower) for repairs or for replacement property effected or obtained in accordance with Sections 3.3(g) through (i), and any 

 

18

 

balance remaining after such repairs or replacement with respect to such damage or loss shall be paid over to Agent, and applied by Agent in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement;

 

(B)            in respect of any property damage or loss constituting an Event of Loss, for which Borrower does not elect, pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(i), to provide a Replacement Airframe (together with the same number of Replacement Engines as the number of Engines, if any, which were subject to such Event of Loss), such payments shall be paid over to the Agent and applied by the Agent to the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement; and

 

(C)            in respect of any property damage or loss constituting an Event of Loss, for which Borrower does elect, pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(i), to provide a Replacement Airframe (together with the same number of Replacement Engines as the number of Engines, if any, which were subject to such Event of Loss), such payments shall be paid over to and held in a controlled account, and shall, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.4(c) of the Credit Agreement, be applied to pay (or to reimburse Borrower) for such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, and any remaining amounts shall be paid over to Agent and applied in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

 

(v)           Reports, etc.

 

Borrower will furnish to the Agent (A) on or prior to the date of execution of this Agreement that includes hereunder the Airframe or Engine to which such insurance relates, insurance certificates describing in reasonable detail the insurance maintained by Borrower as required pursuant to this Section 3.3(k), (B) prior to the expiration of the insurance policies required pursuant to this Section 3.3(k), evidence of renewal of such insurance policies, and (C) on or prior to the date of execution of this Agreement that includes hereunder the Airframe or Engine to which such insurance relates and on or before the renewal dates of the insurance policies carried by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.3(k), a report signed by a firm of aircraft insurance brokers, not affiliated with the Borrower, appointed by the Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, stating the opinion of such firm that all premiums in connection with the insurance then due have been paid and the insurance then carried and maintained on each Aircraft complies with the terms hereof and, in the case of renewal insurance, that such renewal insurance will on and after the effective date thereof so comply with the terms hereof.  The Borrower will instruct such firm to give prompt written advice to the Agent (1) of such firm’s receipt of any notice of cancellation of the insurance policies, or notice of a change in the insurance policies which would, in such firm’s judgment, adversely change the statements set forth in the insurance certificates described in clause (A) of this Section 3.3(k)(v), (2) if any premiums are not paid to such firm by Borrower as agreed between Borrower and the applicable insurer(s), after giving effect to the procedures and/or terms that exist between such insurer(s) and such firm from time to time regarding the payment of premiums, (3) upon application by Agent, of the premium payment situation, (4) if such firm ceases to be the insurance broker to Borrower,  (5) within fourteen (14) days following such firm’s receipt of a written request from Agent not later than one month before expiration of the insurance policies, if such firm has not received renewal instructions from Borrower, and (6) of any other act or omission on the part of the Borrower of which it has knowledge and which would in such firm’s opinion invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in any material part, any insurance on any Aircraft.  The Borrower will also instruct such firm to advise the Agent in writing at least 30 days prior to the termination or cancellation of, or material adverse change in, such insurance carried and maintained on each Aircraft pursuant to this Section 3.3(k) (or such lesser period as may be applicable in the case of war risk coverage).

 

(vi)          Right to Pay Premiums.

 

Agent, as agent for and on behalf of itself and the Additional Insureds, shall have the rights but not the obligations of an additional insured.  None of Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, any Bank Product Provider or any of the other Additional Insureds shall have any obligation to pay any premium, commission, assessment or call due on any such insurance (including reinsurance).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of cancellation of any insurance due to the nonpayment of premiums, each of Agent, 

 

19

 

the Lenders and the other Additional Insureds shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to pay any such premium in respect of each Aircraft that is due in respect of the coverage pursuant to this Agreement and to maintain such coverage, as Agent, the Lenders or the other Additional Insureds may require, until the scheduled expiry date of such insurance and, in such event, Borrower shall, upon demand, reimburse Agent, the Lenders and the other Additional Insureds for amounts so paid by them.

 

(l)            Holding Out.

 

The Borrower agrees that it will not any time represent or hold out any Lender, any Bank Product Provider or the Agent or any Affiliate of any of them (and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Lender, no Bank Product Provider, the Agent, or any Affiliate of any of them is at any time represented or held out) as being in any way connected or associated with any operation of any Airframe, any Engine, or any Part or any other operations or carriage undertaken by the Borrower.

 

(m)          No Pledging of Credit.

 

The Borrower is not authorized to, and agrees that it will not purport to, pledge the credit of any Lender, any Bank Product Provider or the Agent for any maintenance, service, repairs, or overhauls of, modifications to, or changes or alterations in, any Airframe, any Engine, or any Part, or for any other purpose whatsoever; provided  that this provision is not intended to, and shall not, prohibit the Borrower from requesting a Letter of Credit be issued under the Credit Agreement which names as the beneficiary any such provider of maintenance, service, repairs, or overhauls of, modifications to, or changes or alterations in, any Airframe, any Engine, or any Part, or for any other purpose whatsoever.

 

Section 3.4             Loss, Destruction, Requisition, Etc.

 

(a)           Event of Loss with Respect to the Airframes.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to any Airframe, the Borrower shall forthwith (and in any event within 5 Business Days after such occurrence) give the Agent notice of such Event of Loss.  The Borrower shall, within 60 days after such occurrence, give the Agent written notice of its election to perform one of the following options (it being agreed that if the Borrower shall not have given the Agent such notice of such election, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to perform the option identified in the following clause (ii)):

 

(i)                subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Section 3.4(d), on a date not more than 180 days after the occurrence of the Event of Loss (or, if earlier, the Maturity Date), cause to be subjected to the Lien of this Agreement a Replacement Airframe (together with the same number of Replacement Engines as the number of Engines, if any, which were subject to such Event of Loss), such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines to be free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens and to have a remaining useful life, estimated residual value, value and utility at least equal to such Airframe and Engines, if any, so replaced (assuming such Airframe and Engines were in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof) and to be an airframe that is the same model and same or later vintage as such Airframe to be replaced thereby, or an improved model; provided that, if the Borrower shall not perform its obligation to effect such replacement under this clause (i) during the 180 -day period of time provided herein (or, if earlier, the Maturity Date), it shall give the Agent and the Lenders notice to such effect upon or before the expiration of such period of time and shall promptly pay on the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of such notice to the Agent (or, if earlier, the Maturity Date), in immediately available funds, the amount specified in clause (ii) below; or

 

20

 

(ii)               pay or cause to be paid to the Agent, in immediately available funds, on a date specified at least 30 days in advance by the Borrower not later than the earlier to occur of 180 days after the occurrence of the Event of Loss or 3 days following receipt of insurance proceeds in respect of such Event of Loss, an amount equal to the Stipulated Loss Value if such Aircraft (i.e., such Airframe and either or both Engines) or such Airframe is subject to such Event of Loss.

 

Anything in this Section 3.4(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, any payments received under any insurance policies shall, within 3 days of receipt thereof, be applied in accordance with Section 3.3(k)(iv).

 

(b)           Effect of Replacement.

 

Should the Borrower have (i) provided a Replacement Airframe  (together with the same number of Replacement Engines as the number of Engines, if any, which were subject to the Event of Loss) as provided for in Section 3.4(a)(i), (A) this Agreement shall continue with respect to such Replacement Airframe (together with the same such Replacement Engines and any remaining Engines not subject to such Event of Loss) as though no Event of Loss had occurred; (B) the Agent shall, at the expense of Borrower, release from the Lien of this Agreement the replaced Airframe and the replaced Engine or Engines, if any, installed on such Airframe upon the occurrence of the Event of Loss and subject thereto by executing and delivering to the Borrower such documents and instruments as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence such release (and Agent shall discharge or consent to the discharge of the registration of the International Interest in such replaced Airframe and replaced Engine or replaced Engines vested in Agent pursuant to this Agreement; and further, if any Lease of such replaced Aircraft has been assigned to Agent as provided herein, Agent shall (unless such Lease is applicable to the Replacement Aircraft) assign or consent to the assignment of the International Interest, if any, attributable to such Lease to the Borrower); and (C) the Borrower shall be entitled to receive all insurance proceeds and proceeds from any award in respect of condemnation, confiscation, seizure or requisition, including any investment interest thereon, to the extent not previously applied to the purchase price of the Replacement Aircraft as provided in Sections 3.3(k)(iv)(C) and 3.4(e)(i), and (ii) paid the Stipulated Loss Value as provided for in Section 3.4(a)(ii), the Agent shall, at the expense of Borrower, release from the Lien of this Agreement any Airframe and any Engine that Borrower sells to a third party (including any transfer of any such Airframes and any such Engines to insurers in consideration of such insurers’ payment of all or a portion of the Stipulated Loss Value under policies of hull or other property insurance required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.3(k)(ii)) and that is installed on such Airframe upon the occurrence of the Event of Loss and subject thereto by executing and delivering to the Borrower such documents and instruments as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence such release (and Agent shall discharge or consent to the discharge of the registration of the International Interest in any such Airframes and Engine or Engines vested in Agent pursuant to this Agreement; and further, if any Lease of any such Airframes and any such Engines has been assigned to Agent as provided herein, Agent shall assign or consent to the assignment of the International Interest, if any, attributable to such Lease to such third party).

(F)           evidence that the insurance requirements of Section 3.3(k) with respect to an Engine are satisfied and that the insurance covering such Replacement Engine shall be of the type usually carried by the Borrower (or, in the case of a voluntary replacement, such Permitted Lessee) with respect to similar engines, and covering risks of the kind customarily insured against by the Borrower (or, in the case of a voluntary replacement, such Permitted Lessee); and

 

(ii)           the Borrower shall furnish (or cause to be furnished to) the Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, with an opinion, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent, of the Borrower’s counsel to the effect that (x) such documents reasonably requested by the Agent or the Lenders are sufficient to subject such Replacement Engine to the Lien of this Agreement and, (y) the Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, is entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to such Replacement Engine to the same extent as with respect to the replaced Engine immediately preceding such replacement.

 

25

 

Upon satisfaction of all conditions to such substitution, (x) the Agent shall, at the expense of the Borrower, execute and deliver to the Borrower such documents and instruments as the Borrower shall reasonably request to release of the replaced Engine from the Lien of this Agreement (and Agent shall discharge or consent to the discharge of the registration of the International Interest in such replaced Engine vested in Agent pursuant to this Agreement), and (y) the Borrower shall be entitled to receive all insurance proceeds and proceeds in respect of any Event of Loss giving rise to such replacement to the extent not previously applied to the purchase price of the Replacement Engine as provided in Sections 3.3(k)(v)(A) and 3.4(e)(ii).

In such event, immediately upon the effectiveness thereof on the date set forth in such notice or when so required, and without further act, the Additional Airframe and Engines shall be subjected to the Security Interest and Lien created by this Agreement free and clear of Liens (other than Permitted Eligible Collateral Liens in the case of an Additional Airframe and Engines that constitute an Eligible Available Aircraft and Permitted Liens in the case of any other Additional Airframe and Engines).  Upon the addition of an Additional Airframe and Engines, (a) the Borrower shall satisfy at its sole cost and expense all requirements set forth in Section 3.4(d) of this Agreement relative to Replacement Airframes and Replacement Engines to the extent applicable and excluding Section 3.4(d)(ii)(C), and (b) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent such other documents and shall take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by Agent in connection with adding such Additional Airframe and Engines to the Security Interest and Lien of this Agreement.

 

Section 3.6             Agreement Regarding Engines.

 

The Agent hereby agrees for the benefit of the agent or secured party of any engine (other than the Engine) or of any airframe (other than the Airframes) leased to the Borrower or purchased by the Borrower subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement, which lease or conditional sale or other security agreement (in the case of any such airframe) also covers an engine or engines owned by the agent under such lease or subject to a security interest in favor of the secured party under such conditional sale or other security agreement, that the Agent will not acquire or claim, as against such agent or secured party, any right, title or interest in any such engine as the result of such engine being installed on an Airframe at any time while such engine is owned by such agent or is subject to such conditional sale or other security agreement or security interest in favor of such secured party.

 

The Agent hereby agrees for the benefit of the agent or secured party of any airframe (other than the Airframes) leased to the Borrower or purchased by the Borrower subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement, that the Agent will not acquire or claim, as against such agent or secured party, any right, title or interest in any such airframe as the result of an Engine being installed on such airframe at any time while such airframe is owned by such agent or is subject to such conditional sale or other security agreement or security interest in favor of such secured party.

 

Section 3.7             Quiet Enjoyment.

 

The Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group and Bank Product Providers, covenants that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower’s or Permitted Lessee’s possession, use and quiet enjoyment of each Aircraft in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement shall not be interrupted by Agent, the other members of the Lender Group, or any 

 

26

 

Bank Product Provider (or any Person lawfully claiming through the Agent, the other members of the Lender Group, or the Bank Product Providers).

 

Section 3.8             Inspection.

 

At all reasonable times, but upon at least 5 days’ prior notice to the Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event a prior written notice of at least one (1) Business Day is required) and at a time and place reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders or their authorized representatives may at their own expense and risk (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event the Borrower shall bear such expense and risk) conduct a visual walk-around inspection of any Aircraft and any Engine (including a visual walk-around inspection of any Aircraft during any “C” check or other heavy maintenance) and may inspect the books and records of the Borrower relating to the operation and maintenance thereof and the Borrower shall provide copies of such books and records to the Agent and the Lenders or their authorized representatives at its or their reasonable request; provided that (a) such representatives shall be fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower by the Agent or the Lenders with respect to any risks incurred in connection with any such inspection, (b) any such inspection shall be subject to the safety, security and workplace rules applicable at the location where such inspection is conducted and any applicable governmental rules or regulations, and (c) in the case of an inspection during a maintenance visit, such inspection shall not interfere with the normal conduct of such maintenance visit or extend the time required for such maintenance visit or, in any event, at any time interfere with the use or operation of any Airframe or any Engine or with the normal conduct of the Borrower’s or a Permitted Lessee’s business.

 

In addition to any inspection as provided hereunder, upon each request of Agent or any Lender to Borrower made not more than four times in a calendar year, Borrower will make available to Agent or such Lender information with respect to the cycles and hours of operation of the Airframes and Engines and the status of the time controlled components of the Engines.

 

If requested by Agent or any Lender, Borrower shall provide, or shall cause any Permitted Lessee to provide, the date (if then scheduled) upon which any Airframe undergoes its next scheduled major check and, with respect to any Engine, the next scheduled off such Airframe maintenance, and shall advise Agent and such Lender of the name and location (if then known) of the relevant maintenance performer.

 

No liability or obligation will be incurred by Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, by reason of non-exercise by it of the inspection rights referred to in this Section 3.7.  Any viewing of any Aircraft by Agent, any Lender, or any of their representatives, as the case may be, shall be for such Person’s information purposes only, and there shall be no inference or implication therefrom that the Borrower is in compliance with its obligations under the Credit Agreement or this Agreement.

 

SECTION 4.           REMEDIES OF THE AGENT UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT

 

Section 4.1             Remedies with Respect to Collateral.  (a)  Remedies Available.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, this Agreement shall be in default, and the Agent may, and upon the instruction of the Required Lenders shall, do one or more of the following but without any duty to account to the Borrower with respect to such action or inaction:  (A)  demand in writing that the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense, deliver promptly, and the Borrower shall deliver promptly, all or such part of any Airframe or any Engine or any other Collateral to the Agent or its designee or, the Agent, at its option, may enter upon the premises where all or any part of any  Airframe or any Engine or any other Collateral are located or are supposed to be located, search for Collateral and take immediate possession of and remove the same by summary proceedings or otherwise, and without demand or notice or liability of any kind whatsoever; and/or (B) if at the time such action may be lawful and always subject to compliance with any mandatory legal requirements, either with or without taking possession, 

 

27

 

and either before or after taking possession and without instituting any legal proceedings whatsoever, and having first given notice of such sale in accordance with the Credit Agreement to the Borrower at least 10 days prior to the date of such sale, and any other notice which may be required by Law, sell and dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, or interest therein, free and clear of any rights or claims of the Borrower, at public auction or private sale, in one lot as an entirety or in separate lots, and either for cash or on credit and on such terms as the Agent may determine, and at any place (whether or not it be the location of the Collateral or any part thereof) and time designated in the notice above referred to.  Any such sale may be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale, or for any such adjourned sale, without further notice, and the Agent or a Lender may bid and become the purchaser at any such sale and each Lender shall be entitled at any sale to credit against any purchase price bid at such sale by such Lender all or any part of any unpaid Secured Obligation owing to such Lender secured by the Lien of this Agreement; (C) hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any part of such Airframe or such Engine as the Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine, all free and clear of any rights or claims of the Borrower; and/or (D) exercise any or all of other rights and powers and pursue any and all other remedies accorded to a secured party under Applicable Law or the Cape Town Treaty, including to recover judgment in its own name as Agent against the Collateral and to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, to exclude the Borrower and all Persons claiming under any of them wholly or partly therefrom, and including to exercise any other remedy of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought).

 

The Agent may, in its sole discretion, from time to time, at the expense of the Borrower, make all such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral, as it may deem proper.  In each such case, the Agent shall have the right to maintain, use, operate, store, lease, control or manage the Collateral and to exercise all rights and powers of the Borrower relating to the Collateral in connection therewith, as the Agent shall deem appropriate, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, insurance, use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Agent may determine; and the 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.  Such tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments which the Agent may be required or may elect, to make, if any, for Taxes, insurance or other proper charges assessed against or otherwise imposed 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 at the employment of one or more Persons to remarket the Collateral for sale or lease or to otherwise manage the Collateral), and all other payments which the Agent may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Agent, and of all Persons engaged or employed by Agent.

 

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the request of the Agent, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the Agent such instruments of title and other documents as the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enable the Agent or an agent or representative designated by the Agent, at such time or times and place or places as the Agent may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to which the Agent shall at the time be entitled hereunder, to change the registration of any Aircraft, to deregister any Aircraft or otherwise to facilitate the exercise of the above-mentioned rights and remedies.  Without limiting the foregoing and concurrently with the Borrower’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Irrevocable De-Registration and Export Request Authorization (“IDERA”), the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, for any Aircraft, and the Agent may use or otherwise file, record, and/or register such IDERA as it may elect during the existence of an Event of Default, provided that Agent shall give 10 days written notice to Borrower prior to using or otherwise filing, recording, and/or registering such IDERA.  If the Borrower shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by the Agent, the Agent may obtain a judgment 

 

28

 

conferring on the Agent the right to immediate possession and requiring the Borrower to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to the Agent, to the entry of which judgment the Borrower hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so.

 

Nothing in the foregoing shall affect the right of Agent, any other member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider to receive all amounts owing to it as and when the same may be due.

 

(b)           The Agent may proceed to protect and enforce this Agreement by suit or suits or proceedings in equity, at law or in bankruptcy, and whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in execution or aid of any power herein granted; or for foreclosure hereunder, or for the appointment of a receiver or receivers for the Collateral or any part thereof, or for the recovery of judgment for the indebtedness secured by the Lien created under this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under applicable law.

 

(c)           Any proceeds received by the Agent after the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be distributed by the Agent in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.4(b) of the Credit Agreement

 

Section 4.2             Remedies Cumulative.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to the Agent or otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or by the Loan Documents, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Agent, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy.  No delay or omission by the Agent in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of the Borrower or to be an acquiescence therein.

Re:          Irrevocable De-Registration and Export Request Authorization

 

The undersigned is the registered owner of [four Boeing Aircraft Model 767-322 (generic model Boeing 767-300) bearing manufacturer’s serial numbers 23275, 23276, 23277, and 23278, and U.S. Registration Nos. N594HA, N596HA, N597HA, and N598HA, respectively,](3) (together with all installed, incorporated or attached accessories, parts and equipment, collectively, the “Aircraft”).

 

This instrument is an irrevocable de-registration and export request authorization issued by the undersigned in favor of Wells Fargo Capital Finance, Inc. (formerly known as Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc.), a California corporation (the “Authorized Party”) under the authority of Article XIII of the Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters specific to Aircraft Equipment. In accordance with that Article, the undersigned hereby requests:

 

(i)                                     recognition that the Authorized Party or the person it certifies as its designee is the sole person entitled to:

 

(a)                                  procure the de-registration of the Aircraft from the United States Aircraft Registry maintained by the Federal Aviation Administration for the purposes of Chapter III of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, signed at Chicago, on 7 December 1944, and

 

(b)                                 procure the export and physical transfer of the Aircraft from the United States; and

 

(ii)                                  confirmation that the authorized party or the person it certifies as its designee may take the action specified in clause (i) above on written demand without the consent of the undersigned and that, upon such demand, the authorities in the United States shall co-operate with the Authorized Party with a view to the speedy completion of such action.

 

The rights in favor of the authorized party established by this instrument may not be revoked by the undersigned without the written consent of the authorized party.

 

(3)  To be updated for each Irrevocable De-Registration and Export Request Authorization.
