 PACIFIC CONTINENTAL CORPORATION 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 2006 STOCK OPTION

 AND EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN 
 RECITAL 
 The original 2006 Stock Option and Equity Compensation
Plan (as amended, the “Plan”) of Pacific Continental Corporation (the “Company”), which authorized the grant of 500,000 shares of Common Stock, was adopted by the Board of Directors on February 21, 2006 and approved by the
shareholders on April 18, 2006. The number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan was proportionally adjusted to 550,000 as a result of the 10% stock dividend on May 29, 2007. The Plan was amended by the Board of
Directors on March 17, 2009 to increase the number of shares available under the Plan by 500,000. The 2009 amendment was approved by the shareholders on April 20, 2009. The Plan was amended by the Board of Directors on
January 18, 2011 to (i) add a “retirement” feature providing that holders of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will have five years to exercise vested awards after retirement, (ii) require shareholder approval for any
repurchases for cash or exchanges for other securities of outstanding “underwater” Options; (iii) clarify that Stock Appreciation Rights that can be settled only in cash are not counted against the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock that can be issued under the Plan; and (iv) treat Stock Appreciation Rights like Options for purposes of post-termination exercise periods. On January 17, 2012, the Board of Directors further amended the Plan to (i) increase the
number of shares available for issuance under the Plan by 500,000; and (ii) make certain other technical changes. The Plan was approved by the shareholders on April 30, 2012. As of December 31, 2011, an aggregate of 119,571 shares of
Common Stock remain available for issuance under the Plan, as may be adjusted for future stock splits, stock dividends or forfeitures.

Awards under the Plan. 
  

	4.	Administration of the Plan 

a. The Committee. The power and authority to administer the Plan is vested in a committee (the “Committee”) in
accordance with this Section 4. The Committee shall be selected by the Board and shall consist of at least three directors, each of whom shall satisfy applicable independence criteria of the stock exchange or quotation system on which the
Common Stock may then be listed or quoted, be a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and be an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the
Code. If the Committee does not exist or the Board, for any reason determined by it desires to directly administer the Plan, then the Board may take any action under the Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of the
Committee. Once appointed, the Committee shall continue to serve until otherwise directed by the Board.
 b. Delegation
of Responsibilities. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange or quotation system, the Committee may delegate all or some of its power and authority to administer the Plan to one or more
of its members, or to any other person or persons selected by it. The Committee may revoke such delegation at any time. 

c. Reports. At least annually, the Committee shall present a written report to the Board setting forth the following
information relating to Awards granted since the date of the last such report: the date or dates of each such Award; the type of each such Award; the number of shares subject to each such Award; and the exercise price for, and Fair Market Value
on the date of grant of, shares of Common Stock subject to Awards. 
 d. Powers of the Committee. Subject to the
terms and conditions explicitly set forth in the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority and discretion to do the following: 
 (1) determine the persons to whom Awards are to be granted, the times of grant, and the number of shares subject to each Award; 
 (2) subject to the terms of this Plan, determine the exercise price for shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option; the purchase price, if any, of Restricted Stock; and the
Fair Market Value of Common Stock used to determine the amount required to be paid under a Restricted Stock Unit or Stock Appreciation Right; 
 (3) determine all other terms and conditions (which need not be identical between or among Grantees) of each Award; 
 (4) modify or amend the terms of any Award previously granted, or grant substitute Options, subject to the provisions of Sections 14 and 19; 

(5) cancel or suspend Awards, subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 19; 

  
 6 

 (6) interpret the Plan; 

(7) authorize any person or persons to execute and deliver Award Agreements, or to take any other actions deemed by the Committee to be
necessary or appropriate, to effectuate the grant of Awards; 
 (8) waive any conditions to Vesting; and 

(9) make all other determinations, and take all other actions that the Committee deems necessary or appropriate, to administer the Plan
in accordance with its terms and conditions. 
 All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Committee relating to the Plan and
Awards shall be final and binding upon all persons, including all Grantees and any other persons interested in any Awards, unless otherwise expressly determined by a vote of a majority of the entire Board. No member of the Committee or the Board
shall be liable to any person for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Awards. 

e. Section 16(b) Compliance and Bifurcation of Plan. It is the intention of Company that the Plan comply in all respects with
Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, and the Plan shall be construed in favor of its so complying. If any Plan provision is determined to not comply with such Rule 16b-3, the provision shall be deemed null and void. Notwithstanding any
contrary provisions of the Plan, the Board, in its absolute discretion, may bifurcate the Plan so as to restrict, limit or condition the use of any provision of the Plan with respect to participants who are officers and directors subject to
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, without so restricting, limiting, or conditioning the use of such provision of the Plan with respect to other participants. 
  

	5.	Eligibility 

 All
Employees and Directors are eligible to be selected to be granted an Award. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Plan, a Director who is not also an Employee may not be selected to be granted an Incentive Stock Option. 

 

	6.	Granting of Awards 

 a.
General. Only Employees and Directors selected by the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall be granted Awards. An Award may consist solely of Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock
Units, Stock Appreciation Rights or any combination of the foregoing. All Awards are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. 
 b. Award Agreement. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that sets forth the terms and conditions of the Award. A person who is granted an Award shall have no rights under
the Award unless and until such person duly executes and delivers to Company an Award Agreement. An Award shall expire, and the Company shall have no further obligations with respect thereto, if the person does not so execute and deliver an
Award Agreement within any period of time prescribed by the Company. 

  
 7 

 c. Consideration. The Committee shall determine the form and amount, if any, of
consideration required to be paid by a Grantee with respect to an Award. Such consideration may take the form of cash, property, shares of Common Stock or services. 
 d. Arrangements to Cancel Restricted Stock. Company may make such arrangements as it deems necessary or appropriate to hold shares of Restricted Stock in escrow until Grantee satisfies all
conditions to Vesting and to automatically cancel such shares if Grantee fails to satisfy such conditions. 
  

	7.	Performance-Based Compensation. 

 a. General. Any Award that is intended to be “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) shall be conditioned on the achievement of one or more
objective performance measures, to the extent required by Code Section 162(m), as may be determined by the Committee. The grant of an Award and the establishment of performance measures that are intended to be performance-based compensation
shall be made during the period required under Code Section 162(m). 
 b. Maximum of Awards. The maximum number of
Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted in a calendar year to any individual employee is the maximum number of Shares that may be made subject to Awards, as described in the first sentence of Section 3, reduced by the number of
Shares with respect to which Awards have previously been made to all Grantees. 
 c. Performance Measures. Performance
measures may be based on any one or more of the following: earnings; financial return ratios; increase in revenue, operating or net cash flows; cash flow return on investment; total shareholder return; market share; net operating income, operating
income or net income; debt load reduction; expense management; economic value added; stock price; assets, asset quality level, charge offs, loan reserves, non-performing assets, loans, deposits, growth of loans, deposits or assets; interest
sensitivity gap levels, regulatory compliance, improvement of financial rating, gross premiums written, net premiums written, premiums earned, losses and loss expenses, underwriting and administrative expenses, achievement of balance sheet or income
statement objectives and strategic business objectives, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specific cost targets, business expansion goals and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures. Performance measures may be based on
the performance of the Company as a whole or of any one or more Subsidiaries or business units of the Company or a Subsidiary and may be measured relative to a peer group, an index or a business plan. 

d. Partial Achievement. The terms of an Award may provide that partial achievement of the performance measures may result in a
payment or vesting based upon the degree of achievement. 

  
 8 

 e. Adjustments. In certain circumstances the Committee may adjust performance
measures; provided, however, that no adjustment may be made with respect to an Award that is intended to be performance-based compensation, except to the extent the Committee exercises such negative discretion as is permitted under
applicable law for purposes of an exception under Code Section 162(m). If the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company or the manner in which the Company or its
Subsidiaries conducts its business or other events or circumstances render current performance measures to be unsuitable, the Committee may modify such performance measures, in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate. If a Grantee is
promoted, demoted or transferred to a different business unit during a performance period, the Committee may determine that the selected performance measures or applicable performance period are no longer appropriate, in which case, the Committee,
in its sole discretion, may: (i) adjust, change or eliminate the performance measures or change the applicable performance period; or (ii) cause to be made a cash payment to the Grantee in an amount determined by the
Committee. 
  

	8.	Vesting of Awards 

 The
Committee may impose any terms and conditions on the Vesting of an Award that it determines to be appropriate, including requiring the Grantee to continue to provide services as an Employee or Director for a specified period of time or to meet
performance goals established by the Committee. Such terms and conditions shall be set forth in an Award Agreement. 
  

	9.	Exercise and Settlement of Awards 

 a. Options. Grantee shall pay the full exercise price for shares of Common Stock purchased under an Option, at the time the Option is exercised, in cash or other consideration of comparable value
deemed acceptable by the Committee (including by tendering, by either actual delivery of shares or by attestation, shares of Common Stock acceptable to the Committee and valued at Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise), or in any combination
thereof, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may permit a Grantee to elect to pay the exercise price upon the exercise of an Option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of Common Stock (or a portion of the shares of
Common Stock sufficient to pay the exercise price) acquired upon exercise of the Option and remit to Company the sale proceeds therefrom sufficient to pay the entire exercise price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise. 

b. Restricted Stock. Company shall take such actions as it determines to be reasonably necessary to release Restricted Stock
from forfeiture restrictions as soon as practicable after the Restricted Stock Vests. 
 c. Other
Awards. Company shall settle payment of any amounts due under a Restricted Stock Unit or Stock Appreciation Right upon exercise of such right by the Grantee; provided, however, that notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the Plan,
Restricted Stock Units that become Vested shall be settled by payment of amounts owed thereunder on or before the later of (i) the date that is two and one-half (2  1/2) months after the end of the Grantee’s first taxable year in
which such amounts are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or (ii) the date that is two and one-half (2  1/2) months after the end of the first taxable year of the person for whom the Grantee performed services in which such amounts are no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture. 

  
 9 

	10.	Terms Applicable to Options 

 a. Limit on Value of Options Granted. Any number of Options may be granted from time to time to a person eligible to receive the same hereunder, except that in the case of Incentive Stock
Options the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date each Option is granted) of all shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options become exercisable for the first time by the Grantee in any one calendar year
(under all incentive stock option plans of Company and all Subsidiaries taken together) shall not exceed $100,000. 
 b.
Exercise Price. The exercise price for shares of Common Stock subject to an Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the date of grant of the Option; provided, however, that in the case of
an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who immediately before the grant of such Incentive Stock Option is a Shareholder-Employee, the Incentive Stock Option exercise price shall be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
as of the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option. 
 c. Term of Option. No Incentive Stock Option granted under
the Plan shall in any event be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date such Option is granted; provided, however, that in the case an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who immediately before such Incentive
Stock Option is granted is a Shareholder-Employee, the term of such Incentive Stock Option shall be for not more than five (5) years from the date such Option is granted. Subject to the foregoing and other applicable provisions of the
Plan, the Committee shall determine the term of each Option in its sole discretion. 
 d. Exercise During Lifetime of
Grantee. During the lifetime of a Grantee, only the Grantee may exercise such Option. 
 e. Substitution of SARs for
Options. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if the Company is required to or elects to record as an expense in its consolidated statements of earnings the cost of Options pursuant to ASC 718 or a similar accounting
requirement, the Committee shall have the sole discretion to substitute, without receiving Grantees’ permission, SARs paid only in stock for outstanding Options; provided, the terms of the substituted SARs are the same as the terms of the
Options, the number of shares underlying the number of SARs equals the number of shares underlying the Options and the difference between the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares and the grant price of the SARs is equivalent to the difference
between the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares and the exercise price of the Options. 
  

	11.	Termination of Employment or Directorship 

 (a) Unvested Awards. Grantee shall forfeit all rights in, to and under all Awards that have not Vested prior to the time the Grantee first ceases to be an Employee or Director. Such
forfeiture shall occur without the need for further action by any person.

termination of his status as an Employee or Director, or (ii) the expiration date of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right provided in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence: 

(i) Upon the death of a Grantee who at the time of his or her death is and has been an Employee or Director at all times since the date
of grant of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is Vested at such time shall terminate, and may no longer be exercised, on the earlier of (a) one year after the date of death of the Grantee
or at such later date as the Committee may set, in is sole discretion; or (b) the expiration date of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right provided in the Award Agreement, except that if the expiration date of an Option or Stock
Appreciation Right should occur during the 90-day period immediately following the Grantee’s death, such Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate, and may no longer be exercised, at the end of such 90-day period. The Option or Stock
Appreciation Right shall be exercisable at any time prior to such termination by the Grantee’s estate, or by any person or persons who acquire the right to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right by bequest, inheritance or otherwise by
reason of the death of the Grantee; 
 (ii) If a Grantee ceases to be an Employee or Director at any time during the term of his
or her Option or Stock Appreciation Right by reason of a Disability and the Grantee has been an Employee or Director at all times since the date of grant of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is Vested
at such time shall terminate, and may no longer be exercised, on the earlier of (i) one year after the date the Grantee ceases to be an Employee or Director, or (ii) the expiration date of the Option or Stock Appreciation
Right provided in his or her Award Agreement;

(i) five years after the date the Grantee ceases to be an Employee or Director, or (ii) the expiration date of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right provided in the Award Agreement. 

(iv) If a Grantee ceases to be an Employee or Director for Cause, then all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that are Vested at such
time shall terminate, and may no longer be exercised, immediately upon his or her ceasing to be an Employee or Director; and 

(v) Nonqualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted to a person who is a Director but who ceases thereafter to be a
Director (other than due to death, Disability or Retirement) shall expire at such time as the Committee shall determine, but in no event more than six (6) months after the person ceases to be a Director, and shall otherwise be exercisable on
such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. 
 (d) Permitted Absences From Work. A person shall not
be treated as ceasing to be an Employee or Director if the interruption of his or her services as such is caused by military leave, sick leave or any other bona fide leave of absence approved by Company or a Subsidiary, whichever is the entity for
which the person primarily performs services; provided, however, that in the case of Incentive Stock Options, the foregoing is subject to any restrictions of laws or regulations applicable to such Options.

	12.	Compliance with Applicable Law 

 Shares of Common Stock shall not be issued pursuant to the Plan or any Award granted hereunder, unless the issuance and delivery of the shares will not violate, and can otherwise be done in a manner that

Award or rights under an Award may be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner, other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution if permitted herein. Shares of Restricted Stock may be sold,
pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of only after such shares Vest. 
  

	15.	Change in Control 

 Except
as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control, then all Awards shall immediately Vest as of the date of the closing of such transaction, unless the Committee elects to Vest the Awards as of an earlier
date. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if the surviving, successor or acquiring corporation in the transaction (or its parent) agrees to replace Awards with rights to its shares that confer substantially the same benefits as
those represented by the Awards, as determined by the Committee, then the Awards shall not Vest but shall be so replaced. The Committee shall notify each Grantee in writing of any action to Vest or replace Awards hereunder not less than twenty
(20) days prior to the expected closing date of the transaction that prompts such action. 
  

	16.	Rights as a Shareholder 

No person shall have any rights as a shareholder by reason of an Award until and unless Company actually issues and delivers shares of
Common Stock to such person pursuant to the Award. In the case of Restricted Stock, the Grantee thereof shall have all the rights of a shareholder (including voting, dividend and liquidation rights) with respect to shares of Restricted Stock
that are issued and delivered to the Grantee, until such shares are forfeited or reacquired by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award. 

  
 12 

	17.	Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization 

 Subject to any required action by the shareholders of Company, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards, the number of shares of Common Stock available for grants under additional Awards,
the exercise price for shares of Common Stock specified in each outstanding Option, and the value of Common Stock used to determine amounts required to be paid under Restricted Stock Units and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split or other subdivision or consolidation of shares, the payment of any stock dividend on the Common Stock or any other increase or
decrease in the number of such shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt
of consideration.” The Committee shall make such adjustments and its determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. No Incentive Stock Option shall be adjusted by the Committee pursuant to this Section 17 in a
manner that causes the Incentive Stock Option to fail to continue to qualify as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Code Section 422. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 17, no Grantee shall
have any rights by reason of any stock split or other subdivision or consolidation of shares, any payment of a stock dividend, or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares of Common Stock. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Section 17, any issuance by Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect the number of shares or price of Common Stock subject to any Award, and no
adjustments in Awards shall be made by reason thereof. The grant of an Award shall not affect in any way the right or power of Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or change its capital or business structure. 

 

	18.	Term of the Plan 

 The
Plan shall become effective on the earlier of the date it is (i) adopted by the Board; or (ii) approved by the shareholders. Revisions and amendments to the Plan requiring the approval of shareholders of Company, as described
in Section 20, shall be effective when approved by the shareholders. Subject to Section 20, the Plan shall be unlimited in duration. In the event the Plan is terminated as provided in Section 20, it shall remain in effect
with respect to any Awards granted under it that are outstanding at the time of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 18, to the extent required by the Code, no Incentive Stock Option may be granted
under the Plan on a date that is more than ten (10) years from the date the Plan (or amendment increasing shares available under the Plan) is adopted or, if earlier, the date the Plan (or amendment increasing shares available under the Plan) is
last approved by shareholders, provided that the last approval by shareholders occur within 12 months before or after the date of last adoption. 
  

	19.	No Right to Employment 

Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the granting of an Award shall (i) confer upon any person a right to be employed by or to
provide services to Company or any Subsidiary, or to continue such employment or service; or (ii) interfere in any way with the right of a person, or the right of Company or a Subsidiary, to terminate such employment relationship or
service at any time. 

  
 13 

	20.	Amendment or Early Termination of the Plan 

 a. Amendment or Early Termination. The Board may terminate the Plan at any time. The Board may amend the Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board deems advisable, except that,
without proper approval of the shareholders of Company, no such revision or amendment shall: 
 (1) increase the number of
shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan, other than in connection with an adjustment under Section 17; or 
 (2)
otherwise modify the Plan in a manner that would require shareholder approval under any applicable laws or regulations or the rules of any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock may then be listed or quoted. 

Subject to the foregoing, it is specifically intended that the Board or Committee may amend the Plan without shareholder approval to
comply with legal, regulatory, and stock exchange or quotation system requirements and to avoid unanticipated consequences deemed by the Committee to be inconsistent with the purposes of the Plan or any Award Agreement. 

b. Modification and Amendment of Awards. The Board or Committee may modify or amend outstanding Awards granted under the Plan,
provided, however that the modification or amendment shall not, without the consent of the Grantee, impair or diminish any of the Grantee’s rights or any of the obligations of Company under such Award. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan,
no outstanding Award shall be terminated without the consent of the Grantee. Unless the Grantee otherwise agrees, any changes or adjustments made to outstanding Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan shall be prospective only and shall
be made in a manner that will not constitute a “modification,” as defined in Code Section 424(h), and will not cause such Incentive Stock Options to fail to qualify as “incentive stock options” under Code Section 422.

 c. Re-pricing or Repurchase of Options. The exercise price of outstanding Options may not be changed, and the
Company may not conduct any offer to purchase outstanding Options for cash or exchange outstanding Options for other securities at a time when the exercise price of the outstanding Options exceeds the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by
the Options, except (i) with the approval of shareholders of Company, or (ii) as otherwise required or permitted in the Plan. 
  

	21.	Nature of Awards 

 All
Awards are unfunded and unsecured obligations of Company. Any bookkeeping entries maintained by Company with respect to Awards are merely for the convenience of Company. Company is not required to segregate any assets that may at any time
represent an Award and no Grantee or other person shall have any rights or interests in any particular assets of Company by reason of an Award. A Grantee is a mere general unsecured creditor of Company with respect to an Award. 

  
 14 

	22.	IRC Section 409A 

The provisions of this Plan are intended to comply with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Code of 1986, as amended, U.S. Treasury
regulations issued thereunder, and related U.S. Internal Revenue Service guidance (“409A Rules”). Such provisions will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with the 409A Rules so that payments and benefits provided to
Employee hereunder will not, to the greatest extent possible, be subject to taxation under such Section 409A. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions hereof, this Plan may be amended if and to the extent Bank determines that such amendment
is necessary to comply with the 409A Rules. 
  

	23.	Construction of Certain Terms 

 The term “Section” or “Sections,” as used herein, shall mean a Section or Sections of this Plan, unless otherwise required by the context. The masculine form of words shall
include the feminine, and vice-versa, as required by the context. 
  

	24.	Governing Law. 

 This Plan
and any agreements or other documents hereunder shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State or Oregon and applicable Federal law. Any reference in this Plan or in any Award Agreement to a provision of law or to a rule
or regulation shall be deemed to include any successor law, rule or regulation of similar effect or applicability.

validly existing in the same manner as the Lessor and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Ex–Im Bank and the Guaranteed Lenders (which entity shall have as its parent the Lessor Parent or another single member parent (which shall be a Delaware
statutory trust) duly organized and validly existing in the same manner as the Lessor Parent and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Ex–Im Bank and the Guaranteed Lenders). Such assignment shall be pursuant to a purchase assignment on terms and
conditions consistent (mutatis mutandis) with the Purchase Assignment. On the Delivery Date of such Aircraft, title thereto shall be conveyed by the Manufacturer directly to such limited liability company. For the period from and including

for third party bridge financing in respect of such Aircraft and cause the Aircraft to be leased by such limited liability company to Lessee for use and operation in such manner as Lessee shall in its sole discretion deem appropriate. Upon the
request of Lessee (given no later than 10 days prior to the Final Issuance Date in respect of such Aircraft), each of the Trustee, the Guaranteed Lenders, the Indenture Trustee, the Security Trustee and Ex–Im Bank agree to enter into a
participation agreement with respect to such Aircraft on terms and conditions identical (mutatis mutandis) with the Participation Agreement (and contemplating operative documents identical (mutatis mutandis) with the Operative
Documents), whereupon (i) such Aircraft shall be deemed a “Related Aircraft”, (ii) such participation agreement shall be deemed a “Related Participation Agreement”, and (iii) the operative documents under such
Related Participation Agreement shall be deemed “Related Operative Documents”. The economic terms contained in such Related Operative Documents, including, without limitation, the Final Commitment Date, the applicable ASU premium,
applicable commitment fees and related lease rentals, debt amortization and note maturities shall, unless otherwise required by Ex–Im Bank, be identical to 

  
 3 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 
those set forth in the Operative Documents; provided, that the lease rentals, debt amortization and note maturities shall be determined as if the Issuance Date under such Related Operative
Documents had occurred on the Delivery Date for the relevant Aircraft.

a Certificated Air Carrier, (iii) has organizational identification number 2306021, (iv) has the State of Delaware as its “location” (as such term is defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of Delaware), and

date, the performance of its obligations hereunder or thereunder, and its consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, do not require any shareholder approval or consent of any trustee or holders of any indebtedness of Lessee
except such as have been duly obtained and which remain in full force and effect, and will not violate any Applicable Law of the United States of America, conflict with or result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon an Aircraft or any of its property or assets under, any Applicable Laws, its articles of incorporation or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument or agreement to
which it is a party or by which it may be bound or to which any of its property or assets may be subject. 
 (d) The execution,
delivery and performance of the Operative Documents theretofore executed or to be executed by it on such date have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. This Agreement and each other Operative Document theretofore executed or to be
executed by it on such date constitute, or upon execution will constitute, its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). This Agreement and
the other Operative Documents to which it is or is required hereunder to become a party on such date are in proper form for their enforcement in the courts of the United States of America. 

(e) Lessee is subject to civil and commercial law with respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents
to which it is or will become a party on such date. The making and performance by Lessee of this Agreement and such other Operative Documents to which it is or will become a party constitute private and commercial activities rather than governmental

State of Delaware, except as expressly provided herein, or that any stamp, registration or similar tax (other than stamp duty on the execution of the Lease) be paid in the United States of America, the State of New York or the State of Delaware on
or in relation to any of the Operative Documents to which it is or will become a party on such date and, no further action in the United States of America, the State of New York, the State of Delaware or under the Cape Town Convention including any
filing or recording of any document, is necessary or permissible to establish and perfect Lessor’s title to and interest in, and the Secured Parties’ first priority security interest in, each Aircraft and the Lease as against Lessee and
any third parties except for the taking of the actions referred to in Section 7(b). 
 (g) Lessee is not in breach of or
default under any document, instrument or agreement to which it is a party or which is binding on it or any of its assets or revenues, which breach or default would materially adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this

it or its properties that relate to the transactions contemplated hereby or which have any reasonable likelihood of having a material adverse effect on the ability of Lessee to perform its obligations under the Operative Documents. 

(h) The audited consolidated financial statements of Guarantor for its fiscal year that has most recently been provided to Ex–Im
Bank and the Guaranteed Lender fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of Lessee at the end of such fiscal year and results of its operations for the period then ended, are in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q), and since such date no event has occurred that has had or could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on Lessee’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Operative Document to which it is or will be a party. 

(i) The obligations of Lessee under the Operative Documents to which it is a party will be direct and unconditional general obligations
of Lessee, and will rank in right of payment at least pari passu with all unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Lessee, whether now or hereafter outstanding, subject to any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally and to obligations preferred by Applicable Law and not by contract.

similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

efforts to obtain, in respect of its obligations under the Operative Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to pay Rent, any preference for payment under, or any exclusion from, any law, rule or regulation of the United States of

regardless of how the Lease and other Operative Documents may be characterized, (i) no withholding Taxes will be imposed by any Government Body of the United States of America upon or with respect to any payment of Rent, and (ii) the
execution and delivery of the Operative Documents to which it is a party, and the performance of the transactions contemplated thereby will not result in Lessor or any Secured Party being subjected to any Taxes imposed by any Government Body upon or
with respect to the income to the income, activities or properties of Lessor, except for such registration, franchise or other similar taxes as may become due or payable by Lessor in Delaware, each of which shall be paid by Lessee on the due date
for payment therefor.

statement furnished to any other party hereto by or on behalf of Lessee in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained therein not misleading; and there is no fact which has not been disclosed to Lessor, Ex–Im Bank, the Indenture Trustee and the Security Trustee in writing and which materially adversely affects or will materially adversely
affect the ability of Lessee to perform its obligations under the Operative Documents.

imposed on it or its income or profits or on any of its assets, prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, except that Lessee shall not be required to pay any such Taxes (i) the payment of which is being contested diligently in good
faith and by proper proceedings that do not involve either any potential for criminal liability or the imposition of any Lien for which an adequate bond has not been posted by Lessee, and against which it is maintaining adequate cash reserves in

protect and perfect the rights of Lessor in such Aircraft and deliver to Ex–Im Bank a favorable opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Ex–Im Bank in such jurisdiction as to such protection and perfection, or (2) furnish to
Ex–Im Bank a favorable opinion of counsel in such jurisdiction reasonably satisfactory to Ex–Im Bank to the effect that if such Aircraft was at the time located in such jurisdiction, the courts of such jurisdiction would recognize the
right of Lessor hereunder to recover possession of such Aircraft following a declaration of default hereunder. Lessee will also furnish such information concerning the location, condition, use and operation of, or other matters relating to, such

effect on Lessor’s interest in an Aircraft; 
 (ii) which might, in the reasonable judgment of Lessee, have a materially

 (iv) which
relate to an Aircraft and where the amount involved not covered by insurance is in excess of $5,000,000; or

the fees of any airport or air navigation authority or otherwise. 
 (u) Lessee will ensure that its obligations under this
Agreement and each of the Operative Documents to which it is or is to be a party constitute, and will constitute, its direct and unconditional general obligations and that all the same rank, and will rank, in payment at least pari passu with all its

facilities entered into in the ordinary course of Lessee’s business and operations). 
 (x) Lessee will do nothing which
could reasonably be expected to result in any Aircraft or any Part being arrested, confiscated, seized, taken in execution, attached, impounded, forfeited, detained in exercise or purported exercise of any registered or possessory Lien or other
claim or otherwise taken from the possession of the Lessee and if any of the aforesaid shall occur the Lessee shall forthwith inform Ex–Im Bank and the Indenture Trustee thereof and shall procure the immediate release of such Aircraft or Part

time-before-overhaul status of such Aircraft or any Part. 
 (aa) Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of
Ex–Im Bank, submit or consent to any registrations with the International Registry with respect to an Airframe or any Engine other than registrations expressly permitted or required by the terms of the Operative Documents.

 (xviii) The Liens granted by Lessor in favor of the Security
Trustee pursuant to the terms of each Security Document to which Lessor is a party each constitutes a valid, legal and binding first priority security interest over the Collateral therein referred having precedence over the claims of it or any other
creditor of Lessor and, other than those expressly provided for hereunder or under the other Operative Documents, no other consent or approval of, giving notice to, registration with or taking any action in respect of, or by any Government Body of

(xix) No Lessor Liens attributable to it exist. 
 (xx) No Event of Loss with respect to any Airframe or any Engine, nor any circumstances, act or event has occurred that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would constitute such Event of
Loss has occurred and is continuing.

“investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 of the United States of America. 

(xxii) Lessor is subject to civil and commercial law with respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the other Operative
Documents to which it is or will become a party on such date. The making and performance by Lessor of this Agreement and such other Operative Documents to which it is or will become a party constitute private and commercial activities rather than
governmental or public activities, and neither Lessor nor any of its property, assets or revenues enjoys any right of immunity from suit, court jurisdiction, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, set off, execution or from
any other legal process with respect to any of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Operative Documents to which it is or will become a party on such date. 
 (xxiii) Lessor has filed or caused to be filed all material Tax returns required to be filed, has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable thereon or on any assessment received by
it, except for any nonpayment, failure to file or enquiry which individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect in relation to Lessor or result in a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) being
asserted against any Aircraft, any Airframe or any Engine, and it knows of no basis for the assertion of liability against it for any material Taxes (including, without limitation, Taxes imposed other than with respect to the Operative Documents) or
for any Lien for Taxes to be imposed on any Aircraft, any Airframe or any Engine. 
 (xxiv) The obligations of Lessor under the
Operative Documents will constitute direct, general and unconditional obligations of it, and rank in right of payment at least pari passu with all present and future, unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Lessor, whether now or hereafter outstanding,
subject to obligations mandatorily preferred by Applicable Law and not by contract.

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 (xxv) Lessor and each of its Principals (as such term is
defined in the Debarment Regulations) individually, have not within the past 3 years been (i) debarred, suspended, declared ineligible from participating in, or voluntarily excluded from participation in, a Covered Transaction (as such
term is defined in the Debarment Regulations), (ii) formally proposed for debarment, with a final determination still pending, (iii) indicted, convicted or had a civil judgment rendered against it for any of the offenses listed in the
Debarment Regulations or (iv) delinquent on any substantial debts owed to Ex–Im Bank or any Government Body of the United States of America as of the date hereof; and unless authorized by Ex–Im Bank, Lessor will not knowingly enter
into any agreements in connection with an Aircraft with any Person that has been debarred, suspended, declared ineligible from participating in, or voluntarily excluded from participation in, a Covered Transaction. Lessor will provide immediate
written notice to Ex–Im Bank, the Security Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee if at any time it learns that the representation and warranty set forth in this Section 9(a)(xxv) was erroneous when made or has become erroneous by reason
of changed circumstances. (For purposes hereof, “Debarment Regulations” shall mean, collectively: (1) the Export-Import Bank’s Nonprocurement Debarment and Suspension Regulations, 2 C.F.R. Part 3513, adopting by
reference, the OMB Guidelines to Agencies on Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension (Nonprocurement), 2 C.F.R. Part 180; and (2) the Debarment, Suspension, and Ineligibility provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, 48 C.F.R.

 (xxvii) The choice of New York law to govern this Agreement and each of the other Operative Documents stated to be governed by New York law to which Lessor is a party will be recognized and given effect
by the courts of New York and the submission by it to the jurisdiction of the courts of New York is legal, valid and binding under the laws of the State of Delaware and will be enforced in any action brought before a court of competent jurisdiction
in the State of Delaware. A judgment obtained against it in a court in the State of New York would, whether or not Lessor has entered an appearance in New York, be enforceable against it by the courts of Delaware, and the enforcement of any such
judgment would not be contrary to the laws or public policy of the State of Delaware. 
 (b) Lessor further covenants and agrees
for the benefit of the other parties hereto, until the Lien of the Security Documents has been released in accordance with the terms thereof and until the indefeasible payment in full of all amounts due and payable by it under this Agreement and the
other Operative Documents and the performance by it of all other obligations hereunder and thereunder, that it will:

transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents or the sale, lease or other disposition of such Aircraft after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease pursuant to the terms of the Operative Documents, (B) any other lawful
business and activities expressly consented to in writing by Ex–Im Bank and (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) Lessee (which business or activities shall be notified by Lessor to the Indenture Trustee),
(C) paying expenses incurred in the ordinary course of the business contemplated by the Operative Documents, and (D) activities incidental to the foregoing; 
 (iv) not (A) commence any case, proceeding or other action under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, within or outside the United States of America, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,

incur, any liability to any Person, other than such contracts or liabilities, or both, as provided for or permitted or contemplated by the Operative Documents, and contracts, liabilities, ordinary operating costs and overhead expenses as have arisen
or may arise in the ordinary course of carrying on business in accordance with Section 9(b)(iii);

the Collateral, or give any approval or consent or permission or make any determination or election provided for in any Operative Document reserved to Lessor without the prior written consent of the Security Trustee (acting on the instruction of the
Instructing Group, which the Instructing Group may withhold in its sole discretion) or (D) give any approval or consent or permission or make any determination or election (except for those provisions expressed to be at the direction of Lessee)

 (iii) In the event that Lessor shall have received from Lessee any payment (other than indemnity payments payable
to Lessor for its own account) under the Lease (including, without limitation, any payment of Rent or of Insurance Proceeds in connection with an Event of Loss with respect to an Aircraft) it shall not be entitled to retain such amount but shall be
deemed to have received such payment in trust and shall immediately upon receipt pay such amount to the Indenture Trustee, Ex–Im Bank or the Security Trustee, as applicable, for application in accordance with Section 9 of the Intercreditor
Agreement; 
 (iv) Lessor shall take, or shall cause to be taken, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, such action with
respect to the execution, delivery, recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of any Security Document, the Lease, the Powers of Attorney or other instruments as is or may be necessary or desirable (in the reasonable opinion of Ex–Im Bank,

become a party and to perform its obligations thereunder; 
 (ii) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each
of the other Operative Documents theretofore executed or to be executed by it, the performance of its obligations hereunder or thereunder, nor its consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will violate any Applicable Laws of
the State of Delaware or will conflict with or result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) or any Lessor Lien upon an Aircraft or any Lien upon any of its
other property or assets, under any Applicable Laws of the State of Delaware, its constituent documents or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument or agreement to which it is a party or by which it may be bound or to which any of

(iii) in the event of any change in Applicable Laws by Lessor’s jurisdiction of formation after the date of this Agreement that
materially restricts Lessor’s ability to perform any of its material obligations hereunder or under the other Operative Documents to which it is or will become a party or results in Lessor incurring any material cost, liability or expense which

or the State of Delaware, or any agency, department or instrumentality of either thereof governing its banking and trust powers in effect at the time of execution and delivery of such Operative
Documents, and binding on it and will not result in a Lien upon any of the Collateral except as contemplated by the Operative Documents; 
 (iv) neither the execution and delivery by it of any of the Operative Documents to which it is or will become a party nor the consummation by it of any of the transactions contemplated thereby requires
the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, or the registration or filing with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any Government Body of the United States of America or State of Delaware governing its banking and trust
powers; 
 (v) as of the Issuance Date for each Aircraft, the Trust Estate shall be free of any Liens attributable to the
Trustee; and 
 (vi) there are no pending or threatened actions or proceedings against the Trustee before any court or

 (i) No Guaranteed Lender will transfer a Bank Note or interest therein in violation of the Securities Act or applicable state
or foreign securities law; provided, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to impose on such Guaranteed Lender any responsibility with respect to any such offer, sale or solicitation by any other party hereto. Each of the Guaranteed Lenders and the
Lessor Parent represents and warrants to each other party hereto that such party is purchasing the Interest to be acquired by it (x) if it is a commercial bank, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business or (y) otherwise,
for its account for investment and with no present intention of distributing or reselling such Interest or any part thereof, but without prejudice, however, to its right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Interest
in compliance with the applicable securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction and the terms of the Operative Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything else to the contrary herein, each of the Lessor Parent and the Guaranteed Lenders
agrees that it will not assign, offer, sell, participate, sub-participate or otherwise transfer a Bank Note (or interest therein) in violation of the restrictions set forth in the Indenture and in such Bank Note. Each of the Guaranteed Lenders, the
Indenture Trustee and the Lessor Parent further represents and warrants to Lessee and Ex–Im Bank that either (x) no part of the funds to be used by it to purchase or fund, as the case may be, its Interest, or in the case of Lessor, an
Aircraft, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby constitutes plan assets of an employee benefit plan in relation to itself or its Affiliates which is subject to the United States Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended (“ERISA”) and/or subject to Section 4975 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or (y) the transfer, and subsequent holding, of such Interest shall not involve
or give rise to a transaction that constitutes a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code involving the Lessor Parent, the Issuer, the Lessee, any Guaranteed Lender or any proposed
transferee (other than a transaction that is exempted from the prohibitions of such sections by applicable provisions of ERISA or the Code or administrative exemptions or regulations issued thereunder). Each of the Guaranteed Lenders, the Indenture
Trustee and Lessor Parent further covenants that (notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Operative Document to the 

  
 37 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 
contrary) each such party will not transfer its Interest to any transferee thereof, unless such transferee makes the representation and warranty contained in the previous sentence of this
Section 9(i) and the covenant contained in this sentence and agrees to be bound by all of the other provisions hereof and of all the other Operative Documents applicable to the Guaranteed Lenders, the Indenture Trustee and the Lessor
Parent. As used in this Section, the term “plan asset” shall have the meaning assigned to such term under ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Requisition Compensation and all other amounts received under the Operative Documents from Lessee in the manner and in the order of priorities set forth in the Operative Documents.

limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law); and 
 (iii) the execution, delivery and performance by it of the Operative Documents to which
it is or will become a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on its part, do not require any approval of its stockholders or consent of any trustee or holder of its indebtedness or other obligations and are not in violation of its
charter, by-laws or similar instrument or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument or agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its property or assets may be subject and will not result in a Lien
upon any of the Collateral except as contemplated by the Operative Documents.

or any action or inaction of Lessee, Lessor, any sublessee, the Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer or any other supplier or seller in connection herewith or therewith or any user or person in possession of any Aircraft, any Airframe, any Engine

execution, delivery, registration, recording, performance, or enforcement of any Operative Document or any other document executed and delivered by Lessee, Lessor or Trustee in connection with or relating to the Operative Documents (including,
without limitation, in connection with the occurrence and continuance of any Default or Event of Default or with the recovery of possession of such Aircraft while any Event of Default is continuing or the carrying out of any work or inspections
required for seeing that the condition of such Aircraft complies with that specified in the Lease), (5) circumstances otherwise with respect to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents (including in
preventing or attempting to prevent the arrest, confiscation, seizure, taking in execution or 

  
 40 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 
impounding or detention of such Aircraft) or (6) the offer, sale and delivery of the Note or successor debt obligations of the Issuer, the Lessee or any Affiliate thereof issued in
connection with the refunding or refinancing thereof or any interest therein or represented thereby or in any way relating to or arising out of the offer or sale of any interest in the Collateral or any similar interest arising out of the Indenture
and the Collateral (including, without limitation, any claim arising out of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other Federal or state statute, law or regulation, or at common law or
otherwise relating to securities (collectively “Securities Liabilities”)) (the indemnity provided in this clause (6) to extend also to any Person who controls an Indemnified Person, its successors, assigns, employees,
directors, officers, servants and agents within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Lessee shall be obligated under this Section 10 whether or not any Indemnified Person is indemnified or insured against
any Claim by any other Person under any other document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, any Indemnified Person may proceed directly and in its own name against Lessee or any guarantor of all or any of Lessee’s
obligations with respect to the indemnities set forth in the first sentence of this Section 10(c), without first resorting to any other rights of indemnification. 
 (d) Claims Excluded. With respect to any Indemnified Person, the following are excluded from Lessee’s agreement to indemnify under this Section 10: 

(i) any Non-Tax Claim incurred by, or imposed on, the Indemnified Person (other than Ex–Im Bank or a Related Indemnitee of
Ex–Im Bank) to the extent it would not have been imposed if such Indemnified Person or a Related Indemnitee (other than a Related Indemnitee of Ex–Im Bank) had not engaged in transactions unrelated to those contemplated by this Agreement
or any other Operative Document; 
 (ii) with respect to any particular Indemnified Person, any Claim to the extent caused by
the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of such Indemnified Person or a Related Indemnitee (other than a Related Indemnitee of Ex–Im Bank) (other than as may be imputed to such Indemnified Person as a result of its participation in
the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents); 
 (iii) with respect to any particular Indemnified Person (other
than Ex–Im Bank), any Claim to the extent arising as a result of the breach or non-compliance with any of the terms of, or any misrepresentation contained in, this Agreement or any other Operative Document or any agreement relating hereto or
thereto by which such Indemnified Person or a Related Indemnitee is expressly bound, by such Indemnified Person or a Related Indemnitee (including the imposition against such Indemnified Person or a Related Indemnitee of any Lessor Lien or Lender
Lien); 
 (iv) any Claim to the extent attributable to acts, omissions or events occurring with respect to the period after full
and final compliance by Lessee with all of the terms of the Lease and performance by Lessee of all of its obligations hereunder and under the Lease and, in the case of any Lender, any other Operative Document; 

(v) any Claim for Taxes incurred by, or imposed on, an Indemnified Person (other than Ex–Im Bank and any holder of a Note subsequent
to Ex–Im Bank) to the extent it 

  
 41 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 
results from any sale, assignment (except for any assignment under and in compliance with the Security Documents), transfer, participation or other disposition (whether voluntary or involuntary)
by such Indemnified Person or a Related Indemnitee of any interest of any such Person in the Note, any Aircraft, any Airframe, any Engine, any Part, Lessor or any other Indemnified Person or in the Operative Documents other than any sale,
assignment, transfer, participation or disposition (A) in connection with an exercise of remedies during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Lease or the Indenture; (B) at any time following the termination of the Lease or
acceleration of the Note pursuant to the Indenture; (C) in connection with the termination of the Lease at the discretion of Lessee; (D) in connection with the exercise by any such Indemnified Person of its rights or remedies under any
Operative Document; (E) that occurs upon the request of Lessee; or (F) that occurs pursuant to Section 7, 8 or 9 of the Lease; provided, however, that this clause (v) shall only apply to a sale, assignment, transfer,
participation or other disposition of the Note, or any part thereof, to the extent that the Tax for which an indemnity is being claimed existed as of the date hereof; 
 (vi) any Claim for Taxes imposed against or payable by an Indemnified Person by any jurisdiction or taxing authority thereof as a result of a failure by such Indemnified Person or a Related Indemnitee
(other than a Related Indemnitee of Ex–Im Bank) to comply with any certification or other procedure as required by the law of the jurisdiction imposing the Tax as a precondition to any exemption from, or reduction of, such Tax to which such
Indemnified Person would be entitled, so long as (A) the Indemnified Person would have been able to comply with such requirement, (B) such procedure or compliance therewith would not expose such Indemnified Person to any cost or risk of
materially adverse consequences, and (C) Lessee provides to the Indemnified Person written notice of the relevant Tax and of the relevant certification or procedure in sufficient time and assistance to allow the Indemnified Person to timely
comply with such certification or procedure; 
 (vii) with respect to any particular Indemnified Person (other than Ex–Im
Bank or a Related Indemnitee of Ex–Im Bank), any Claim for Taxes (not including sales, use, rental, ad valorem, license, property, stamp, or value added Taxes) imposed on the overall net income, net profits, net receipts or net gains of any
Indemnified Person by the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or maintains its principal place of business or in any jurisdiction in which it conducts business from time to time (other than a jurisdiction in which it is deemed to conduct
business as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents or a jurisdiction in which it would not be subject to a Tax of such type but for the location, registration or use of an Aircraft in such jurisdiction, payment by
Lessee or Lessor from such jurisdiction or the activities or place of incorporation of Lessee, Lessor or Lessor Parent in such jurisdiction); 
 (viii) except in the case of an Indemnified Person that was an Indemnified Person on the Issuance Date for each Aircraft (an “Original Indemnified Person”), any Claim for Taxes imposed on
an Indemnified Person (other than Ex–Im Bank or any holder of a Note subsequent to Ex–Im Bank) to the extent that such Taxes exceed the Taxes that would have been imposed on the Original Indemnified Person through or from whom it (directly
or indirectly) obtained its Interest (except in respect of an Indemnified Person that acquired its Interest pursuant to a transfer occurring at the request of Lessee or during the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to the exercise of
remedies); provided, however, that this clause (viii) shall only apply to Taxes imposed under Applicable Laws as in effect on the date such Indemnified Person acquired its interest hereunder; 

  
 42 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 (ix) any Claim for Taxes imposed against or payable by an
Indemnified Person (other than Ex–Im Bank or any holder of a Note subsequent to Ex–Im Bank) to the extent such Taxes result from the situs of organization, any place of business or the activities of such Indemnified Person in the
jurisdiction imposing the Tax (unless such place of business or activity results from the operation, presence or registration of an Aircraft or any Engine) or other presence of Lessee or Lessor therein or the exercise by such Indemnified Person of
any of its rights or remedies under any Operative Document or the receipt of any payment under any Operative Document; 
 (x)
any Claim for interest, penalties or additions to Tax imposed against or payable by an Indemnified Person that result from the failure of such Indemnified Person to file any return properly and timely unless such failure is caused by the failure of
Lessee to provide to such Indemnified Person any information reasonably requested by such Indemnified Person that is available to Lessee and required to file properly and timely such return or the failure of Lessee to perform its obligations under
Section 10(j), (n) or (q) hereof or such failure is caused by the failure of Lessee to notify such Indemnified Person of such requirement and the information necessary to fulfill such requirement, known to Lessee, and in each case
Lessee believes such Indemnified Person would not otherwise be aware of such requirement or be in possession of such information; 
 (xi) any Claim for Taxes that are being contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(i) during the pendency of such contest, except to the extent required to be paid or advanced by
Lessee pursuant to Section 10(i) hereof; 
 (xii) any Claim for Taxes imposed against or payable by an Indemnified
Person attributable to the failure of such Indemnified Person to take timely action in contesting such Claim if required to take such action pursuant to Section 10(i) hereof, but only if such failure actually or effectively precludes a
contest of the relevant Taxes; or 
 (xiii) any Claim for Taxes included in Transaction Costs (but only to the extent such
Transaction Costs are reimbursed under Section 12 hereof on an After-Tax Basis). 
 (e) Insured Claims. In the case
of any Claim indemnified by Lessee hereunder that is covered by a policy of insurance maintained pursuant to Section 10 of the Lease, each Indemnified Person agrees at Lessee’s expense to cooperate with the insurers in the exercise of
their rights to investigate, defend or compromise such Claim as may reasonably be required to retain the benefits of such insurance with respect to such Claim, so long as no such cooperation shall entail (A) a material risk of unindemnified
civil liability or the sale, loss, forfeiture or seizure of the Collateral or (B) a risk of any criminal liability. 
 (f)
Procedure for Non-Tax Claims. An Indemnified Person shall give prompt notice of the existence of any circumstance that, in its reasonable opinion, is likely to give rise to a Non-Tax Claim and shall promptly (and in no event later than
sixty-five (65) days after it becomes aware of such a Claim) notify Lessee of any Non-Tax Claim as to which 

  
 43 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 
indemnification is sought (provided that failure to give such notice shall not affect Lessee’s indemnity obligations hereunder except to the extent Lessee is precluded or prejudiced
thereby). An Indemnified Person (other than Ex–Im Bank) asserting any Non-Tax Claim arising under any Operative Document shall, at no cost to itself, exercise all rights reasonably available to it under the terms thereof to mitigate such
Non-Tax Claim, and shall advise Lessee, at Lessee’s request, of the status of such action. The following provisions of this Section 10(f) shall not apply to Non-Tax Claims in respect of amounts payable by Lessor under any Operative
Document other than pursuant to this Section 10. Subject to the rights of insurers under policies of insurance maintained pursuant to Section 10 of the Lease, Lessee shall have the right to investigate, and the right in its sole discretion
to defend or compromise in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner and with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Indemnified Person, any Non-Tax Claim for which indemnification is sought under this Section 10, and such
Indemnified Person shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lessee in connection therewith; provided, that to the extent that other claims related or unrelated to the transactions contemplated hereby are part of the same proceeding
involving such Non-Tax Claim, Lessee may assume responsibility for the control of such Non-Tax Claim (except for any Non-Tax Claim against Ex–Im Bank involving a Claim for criminal liability, any violation of law or (unless Lessee assures to
Ex–Im Bank’s satisfaction payment thereof or for which an adequate bond has been posted in respect thereof) any material civil liabilities) to the extent that the same may be and is severed from such other claims (and each Indemnified
Person (other than Ex–Im Bank in the circumstances described in the last sentence of this Section 10(f)) shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain such severance) and, if not severable, Lessee may assume joint control thereof with such
Indemnified Person; provided, further, that no such Non-Tax Claim shall be compromised on a basis that admits any criminal violation, negligence, willful misconduct or other liability on the part of such Indemnified Person without such
Indemnified Person’s express consent (except that Lessee may not so compromise a Non-Tax Claim against Ex–Im Bank that admits (in addition to the foregoing) any violation of law or (unless Lessee at the time of such compromise pays or
assures (to Ex–Im Bank’s satisfaction) payment of such claim in full) any material civil penalties). Where Lessee or the insurers under a policy of insurance maintained by Lessee undertake (whether solely or jointly with an Indemnified
Person) the control of a severed Non-Tax Claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person and without reservation of rights against such Indemnified Person) pursuant to this Section 10(f), no additional legal fees or
expenses of such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Non-Tax Claim shall be indemnified hereunder unless such fees or expenses were incurred at the request of Lessee or such insurers or where any conflict of interest may exist
between Lessee or its insurers and such Indemnified Person. Subject to the requirements of any policy of insurance, an Indemnified Person may participate at its own expense in any judicial proceeding controlled by Lessee pursuant to the preceding
provisions and such participation shall not constitute a waiver of the indemnification provided in this Section 10. Nothing contained in this Section 10(f) shall be deemed to require an Indemnified Person to contest any Non-Tax Claim or to
assume responsibility for or control of any judicial proceeding with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon Ex–Im Bank’s written notice to Lessee and the Indenture Trustee that Ex–Im Bank cannot permit Lessee to assume
the defense or joint control of the defense of any Claim as a matter of Applicable Law or stated policy of Ex–Im Bank, Ex–Im Bank shall assume the defense of such Claim, at the sole cost and expense of Lessee. 

  
 44 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 (g) Subrogation. To the extent that a Non-Tax Claim
indemnified by Lessee under this Section 10 is in fact paid in full by Lessee or any insurer under a policy of insurance maintained by Lessee pursuant to Section 10 of the Lease, or both, Lessee or such insurer, or both, as the case may
be, shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws or, in the case of Ex–Im Bank, its stated policy, be subrogated to the rights and remedies of the Indemnified Person (other than under insurance policies independently maintained and
available to such Indemnified Person) on whose behalf such Non-Tax Claim was paid with respect to the transaction or event giving rise to such Non-Tax Claim. Should an Indemnified Person receive any cash refund, in whole or in part, with respect to
any Non-Tax Claim fully paid by Lessee hereunder, it shall, so long as no Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, promptly pay, subject to deduction of any Taxes levied, imposed, asserted or required to be
deducted from such amount, the amount refunded (but not an amount in excess of the amount paid (plus the amount, if any, of any interest received by the Indemnified Person with such refund) to such Indemnified Person in respect of such Non-Tax
Claim) over to Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10(g), no such subrogation shall be permitted if it interferes with such Indemnified Person’s ability to enjoy its rights under the Operative Documents.

 (h) Calculation of Indemnity Payments in Respect of Claims. Any payment which Lessee shall be required to make to or
for the account of any Indemnified Person with respect to any Claim which is subject to indemnification under this Section 10 shall be made on a net After-Tax Basis, taking into account all Taxes (without regard to the exclusions set forth in
Section 10(d)), (other than clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (viii) and (x) thereof) required to be paid by the Indemnified Person as a result of such payment, provided that such Indemnified Person shall provide such certificates or
information reasonably requested by Lessee to minimize the amount of any such Claim which such Indemnified Person is qualified to submit. 
 (i) Contest of Claim for Tax. If a Claim shall be made for any Tax (including Withholding Taxes) for which Lessee is obligated to indemnity against pursuant to this Section 10, Lessee shall be
entitled to contest the imposition of such Tax and withhold payment during pendency of such contest, but only if such contest (1) is made in good faith by appropriate proceedings that do not involve any substantial risk of the sale, seizure,
forfeiture or loss of any Collateral or title thereto, interest therein or use thereof, and in the case of such proceedings so long as adequate reserves are maintained in respect of such Taxes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, (2) is permitted by Applicable Laws (it being also understood that Lessee shall in no event be allowed to withhold payment of any Withholding Tax), (3) does not involve any risk of criminal or material risk of unindemnified
civil penalties against the relevant Indemnified Person and (4) does not involve, in the reasonable commercial discretion of the relevant Indemnified Person, any material prejudice to the business, operations or commercial financial standing of
such Indemnified Person or any Related Indemnitee. Unless otherwise required by law or unless the contest shall involve a claim for Taxes not indemnified against by Lessee, any such contest shall be conducted by and in the name of Lessee (unless
Ex–Im Bank is the Indemnified Person); provided that Lessee shall have acknowledged and agreed in writing, in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, Lessee’s liability for such Taxes (if and to the extent Lessee
does not prevail in such contest). If a written Claim shall be made against and received by any Indemnified Person for any Tax for which Lessee is obligated to indemnify pursuant to this Section 10, such Indemnified Person shall notify Lessee
promptly of such Claim and provide Lessee with all documents and information relating solely to 

  
 45 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 
such Claim as may reasonably be requested by Lessee. If, as described above, the contest of such Claim is not to be conducted by and in the name of Lessee, upon written request from Lessee within
thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, which written request shall be accompanied by an opinion of independent tax counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person (both as to counsel, substance and conclusion) that good
grounds exist for successfully contesting such Taxes, such Indemnified Person shall contest in good faith (including, without limitation, by pursuit of appeals) the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes by, in such Indemnified
Person’s reasonable opinion, (A) resisting payment thereof, (B) not paying the same except under protest, if protest shall be necessary and proper or (C) if payment shall be made, seeking a refund thereof in appropriate
administrative and judicial proceedings; provided, that in conducting such contest, the Indemnified Person shall keep Lessee informed, at Lessee’s request, of the progress and nature of the contest and shall consult in good faith with Lessee
regarding the conduct of the contest; provided further, however, that in no event shall such Indemnified Person be requested to contest or shall Lessee be permitted to contest the imposition of any Tax for which Lessee has an
indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section 10 unless (V) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (W) Lessee shall have acknowledged and agreed in writing, in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified
Person, Lessee’s ability to pay as incurred on an After-Tax Basis all reasonable costs and expenses that such Indemnified Person shall incur in connection with contesting such Claim whether or not successful (including, without limitation, all
reasonable costs, expenses, legal and accounting fees and disbursements); (X) if such contest shall involve payment of the Claim, Lessee shall have advanced the amount thereof to such Indemnified Person on an interest-free and After-Tax Basis;
and (Y) the contest is conducted by and in the name of Lessee, such claim exceeds U.S.$25,000 and shall not involve a risk of criminal liability, a material risk of unindemnified civil liability or any material risk or danger of the sale, loss,
seizure or forfeiture of any Collateral or the imposition of any Lien (except if Lessee shall have adequately bonded such Lien or otherwise made provision to protect the interests of such Indemnified Person in a manner reasonably acceptable to such
Indemnified Person and Ex–Im Bank) on any Collateral. Notwithstanding that the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence may have been satisfied, such Indemnified Person may elect not to contest pursuant to the preceding sentence or elect
to discontinue any contest proceeding commenced pursuant to the preceding sentence, but such election shall constitute a waiver by such Indemnified Person of any right to payment of indemnification pursuant to this Section 10 with respect to
the adjustment which was the subject of such proposed contest plus any subsequent Taxes the contest of which is precluded thereby and, if Lessee has theretofore paid such amounts or provided such Indemnified Person with funds to pay such amounts,
such Indemnified Person shall promptly repay such funds, together with interest thereon at the same rate of interest as that paid, or which would have been paid, by Lessee in funding such payment of Taxes to Lessee. If such Indemnified Person shall
obtain a refund of, or shall be granted a credit against Taxes all or any part of which Lessee shall have paid for such Indemnified Person or for which Lessee shall have reimbursed such Indemnified Person in connection with the contest of any Claim
pursuant to this Section 10(i), such Indemnified Person shall pay to Lessee, but not before Lessee shall have made all payments then due to such Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 10 and any other payments then due to such
Indemnified Person from Lessee under any of the Operative Documents and such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably determined that funds have been made available to it as a result of such refund or credit, an amount equal to the amount of funds
made available to it 

  
 46 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 
as a result of such refund or credit, including interest received thereon, plus any Tax benefit (or minus any net Tax detriment) realized by and actually utilized to reduce the Taxes of such
Indemnified Person (in its own reasonable discretion) as a result of receipt or accrual of such refund or credit and payment by such Indemnified Person made pursuant to this sentence; provided that any such payment (or any part thereof) shall
not be required to be made if the result of such payment would be to leave such Indemnified Person (in its own reasonable discretion) in a position less favorable than it would have been in had no such refund or credit been obtained or Tax Benefit
been realized. If any Indemnified Person shall have paid Lessee any refund of all or part of any Tax paid by Lessee and it is subsequently determined that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to the refund, such determination shall be treated as
the imposition of a Tax pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10 (but without giving effect to the exclusions in Section 10(d) (other than clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (viii) and (x) thereof). Except in respect of any Tax
Claim which the Indemnified Person is not obligated to contest, no Indemnified Person shall enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim with respect to which Lessee would be required to indemnify hereunder without the prior
consent of Lessee, except to the extent such Indemnified Person waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Claim under this Section 10 or unless an Event of Default is continuing. 

(j) Withholding Taxes. Each of Lessor and Lessee agrees that all payments made by it pursuant to this Agreement, the Lease and any
other Operative Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future Taxes of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any
Government Body or taxing authority (all such Taxes being herein referred to as “Withholding Taxes”). If any Withholding Taxes are so required to be withheld or deducted from any payment made by Lessor or Lessee under any Operative
Document, Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, shall (A) pay to the appropriate Government Body the amount of such Withholding Taxes and make such reports and filings in connection therewith in the time and manner required by Applicable Laws,
(B) at the time that the payment upon which the deduction or withholding applies is required to be made, pay to the relevant Indemnified Person any additional amount which is necessary in order for the net amounts received by such Indemnified
Person, after deduction or withholding of such Withholding Taxes, to equal the amounts payable to such Indemnified Person had no such deduction or withholding been required and (C) promptly forward to the relevant Indemnified Person an official
receipt or other documentation evidencing payment of such Withholding Taxes to such Government Body. Each Indemnified Person agrees to deliver to Lessor or Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, as the case may be, such official
certificates or documents as may be reasonably requested by Lessor or Lessee in writing from time to time completed and duly executed by such Indemnified Person to establish that payments by Lessor or Lessee to such Indemnified Person hereunder or
under the Lease or any other Operative Document are, without any prejudice to such Indemnified Person, exempt from or are subject to a reduced rate of Withholding Tax imposed by any Government Body or taxing authority, so long as, in the Indemnified
Person’s reasonable determination, it is entitled to claim such reduction or exemption. If requested by such Indemnified Person in connection with any request for certificates or documents hereunder, Lessee shall provide such Indemnified Person
with blank forms and instructions for completion thereof.

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 (k) Payment. Except in the case of Withholding Taxes
(payment of and indemnification with respect to which shall be governed by Section 10(j)), any amounts payable to an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 10 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written
demand therefor from such Indemnified Person accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the amount so payable. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 10 directly to an Indemnified Person or Lessee shall be made in
the applicable currency in immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as is specified by the payee in written directions to the payor. 
 (l) Non-Parties. If an Indemnified Person is not a party to this Agreement or an indemnity is payable pursuant to the following sentence in respect of a participant of any Guaranteed Lender, Lessee
may require such Indemnified Person or participant, as the case may be, to agree in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to Lessee, to the terms of this Section 10 prior to making any payment under this Section 10 to such Indemnified
Person or, in the case of Taxes imposed on or payable by a participant, to the applicable Guaranteed Lender in respect of such Taxes. 
 (m) Tax Credit Payment. If a payment or an additional payment in respect of a Claim for Taxes or Withholding Tax is made under this Section 10 by Lessee for the benefit of any Indemnified
Person (other than Ex–Im Bank) and such Indemnified Person, in its own reasonable discretion, determines that it has obtained (and utilized in reducing its Taxes) a credit against, or relief or remission for, or repayment of, any Tax
(collectively, a “Tax Benefit”), then, if and to the extent that such Indemnified Person, in its reasonable opinion, determines that such Tax Benefit is in respect of or calculated with reference to the payment or additional payment
made pursuant to this Section 10, such Indemnified Person shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such Tax Benefit and so long as no Material Default or Event of Default is then continuing (in
which case such amount, at the option of the relevant Indemnified Person, either be held as collateral until such Material Default or Event of Default is cured or applied in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement), pay to
Lessee such amount as such Indemnified Person shall, in its own reasonable discretion, determine to be the amount which will leave such Indemnified Person (after such payment on an After-Tax Basis) in no worse after-tax position than it would have
been in had the payment or additional payment in question not been required to be made by Lessee. Any amount held as collateral during the continuance of a Material Default or Event of Default shall, to the extent not previously applied, be paid to
Lessee if and when the relevant Material Default or Event of Default is cured. 
 (n) Tax Credit Clawback. If any
Indemnified Person (other than Ex–Im Bank) makes any payment to Lessee pursuant to Section 10(m) and such Indemnified Person subsequently determines, in its own reasonable discretion, that the relevant Tax Benefit in respect of which such
payment was made was not available or has been withdrawn or that it was unable to use such Tax Benefit in full, Lessee shall reimburse such Indemnified Person such amount as such Indemnified Person determines, in its own reasonable discretion, is
necessary to place it on an After-Tax Basis in the same position as it would have been in if the payment to Lessee pursuant to Section 10(m) had not been made.

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 (o) Tax and Other Affairs. No provision of this
Agreement shall interfere with the right of any Indemnified Person to arrange its tax or any other affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit, oblige any Indemnified Person to claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment in respect of any payment
under this Section 10 in priority to any other credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it nor, except as expressly provided herein, oblige any Indemnified Person to disclose any information relating to its Tax or other affairs or
any computations in respect thereof. 
 (p) Conflicting Provisions. The general indemnification provisions of this
Section 10 are not intended to waive or supersede any express provisions of this Agreement, the Lease or any other Operative Document concerning the responsibility of any of the parties hereto or thereto for any Claims and the fact that a Claim
is not excluded from indemnification under Section 10(d) shall in no event prevent any party hereto from bringing an action against Lessee or any Indemnified Person for any breach of any obligation owing by such party to such other party giving
rise to such Claim. Notwithstanding the above and for the avoidance of doubt, between the Guaranteed Lenders on the one hand and the Lessee on the other hand, to the extent there is any inconsistency between this Section 10 and the Issuer
Indemnity Agreement, the terms of the Issuer Indemnity Agreement shall prevail. 
 (q) Survival. The indemnities and
agreements provided for in this Section 10 shall survive the expiration or other termination of the Operative Documents. 

(r) Reports and Returns. Lessee shall, at its own expense, duly file all required reports and returns respecting all Taxes for
which Lessee is directly responsible under this Section 10, to the extent Lessee is permitted to do so by law. If the same must be filed by an Indemnified Person, Lessee will advise such Indemnified Person of the necessity of filing the same
and, in sufficient time before the same are due, furnish such Indemnified Person with a completed copy thereof and funds in the amount required to be submitted, together with any additional information and records relating thereto as such
Indemnified Person may reasonably request. Lessee shall hold such Indemnified Person harmless from and against any Claims arising out of any insufficiency or inaccuracy in any such report or return to the extent such insufficiency or inaccuracy is
not attributable to any act or omission of or information provided by such Indemnified Person or a Related Indemnitee. Lessee shall make available to the Indemnified Person such other information and records as are maintained by Lessee regarding the
use of an Aircraft at Lessee’s principal place of business. If, in conjunction with the filing of any tax return or as a result of an audit, an Indemnified Person reasonably requests additional information, Lessee shall make available such
other information and records as it maintains in the ordinary course of business or is reasonably available to it. Each Indemnified Person shall cooperate with Lessee and provide Lessee with such documentation as it may reasonably request in order
for Lessee to obtain any available exemptions, reductions, set offs and reimbursements of Taxes. 
 Section 11.
Lien Removal; Quiet Enjoyment. 
 (a) Each of the Trustee (in its capacity as trustee and in its individual capacity)
and Lessor Parent agrees (in respect of itself only) (i) not to create or incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lessor Lien attributable to it, (ii) to promptly notify Lessee, the Indenture Trustee and Ex–Im

  
 49 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 
Bank of the existence of any Lessor Lien attributable to it and (iii) to take such action as may be necessary and within its power to discharge, or (in the case of Lessor Parent only) cause
Lessor to discharge, any Lessor Liens attributable to it or (in the case of Lessor Parent only) Lessor and to indemnify and hold harmless the parties hereto from and against any loss, cost, expense or damage which may be suffered by any such Person
as a result of its failure to discharge and satisfy any Lessor Lien for which it is responsible; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Lessor Liens attributable to claims either not yet due or being contested by appropriate
proceedings in good faith so long as such proceedings do not involve any risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of all or any part of an Aircraft, title thereof, interest therein or use thereof. 

(b) Without limiting the provisions in the second sentence of Section 6 of the Lease, Lessee agrees, for the benefit of the
Guaranteed Lenders, the Indenture Trustee, Ex–Im Bank and the Security Trustee, that it will promptly, at its own cost and expense, take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge all Lessor Liens with respect to an Aircraft, title to
any thereof or any interest therein or in the Lease, if the same shall arise at any time, unless such Lessor Lien is caused solely and directly by the giving of instructions by the Security Trustee to any Person while no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. 
 (c) Each of the Guaranteed Lenders, the Indenture Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the
Noteholders, the Security Trustee and Ex–Im Bank agrees with each of the other parties hereto that it shall, in its individual capacity and at its own cost and expense, promptly take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge any Lender
Liens on each Aircraft or any other Collateral created by it or any of its Related Indemnitees or which results from Claims against it or any of its Related Indemnitees in its individual capacity not related to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any Security Document; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Lender Liens attributable to claims either not yet due or being contested by appropriate proceedings in good faith so long as such proceedings do not involve any
risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of all or any part of an Aircraft, title thereto, interest therein or use thereof. 
 (d)
Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other Operative Document to the contrary, each of the parties hereto (other than Lessee) agrees and covenants as to itself that, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, it
will not, and it will not permit any Person lawfully claiming through or under it to, interfere with or interrupt the quiet enjoyment of the use, operation and possession of any Aircraft, any Airframe or any Engine by Lessee. 

Section 12. Fees and Expenses. 
 (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Lessee shall pay or reimburse the Indenture Trustee, each Guaranteed Lender, Ex–Im Bank, Trustee, Lessor, Lessor Parent and
the Security Trustee as appropriate (against invoices and receipts (if available) submitted by any such Person), for any reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel and other experts employed or
retained by such Person) incurred by such Person, and all payments made, in either case payable in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery or enforcement of the Operative Documents
and/or the Related Operative Documents or the issuance, conversion or exchange of any Note, including, if then owing, the initial and annual 

  
 50 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 
fees of the Trustee, Security Trustee, Lessor, and Lessor Parent, in each case subject to any previous fee agreements with Lessee (collectively, “Transaction Costs”). In addition
to the foregoing but without duplication, Lessee shall pay or reimburse the Indenture Trustee, each Guaranteed Lender, Ex–Im Bank, Trustee, Lessor, Lessor Parent and the Security Trustee for any reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel and other experts employed or retained by such Person) incurred by such Person in connection with (i) any amendment, modification or waiver of any Operative Document requested by Lessee or any
filings or recordings of any Operative Document required by the terms hereof or thereof, and (ii) any Event of Default and any enforcement or collection proceeding related thereto. 

(b) All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Operative Documents
(including, without limitation, legal fees) shall (to the extent invoices and receipts have been submitted to Lessee at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Issuance Date for each Aircraft) be paid on such Issuance Date. 

(c) The Lessee shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Ex–Im Bank the following fees: 

(i) with respect to [*], [*], [*] and [*] a [*] in [*], accruing on [*] at the rate of [*], computed on the basis of [*] and payable [*];

 (ii) with respect to [*] and [*] a [*] in [*], accruing on [*] at the rate of [*], in all cases computed on the basis of [*],
and payable [*]; 
 (iii) with respect to [*], [*], [*] and [*] a [*] in [*] in an amount equal to [*] payable [*]; and

  
 51 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 (iv) with respect to [*] and [*] a [*] in [*] in an amount
equal to [*] payable [*]. 
 (d) The Lessee shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the relevant recipients the fees referenced in
the Fee Letter on the dates and in the manner mentioned in the Fee Letters. 
 Section 13. Miscellaneous.

 (a) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
same instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. 
 (b) No failure on
the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any other Operative Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 

(c) For the purposes of this Agreement and each other Operative Document (other than the Ex–Im Bank Guarantee), all notices and
other communications (including any modifications of, or waivers or consents under, this Agreement or such other Operative Document) shall be in writing and shall be given or made by fax, mail or personal delivery and faxed, mailed or delivered to
the intended recipient at the address specified below; or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each other party hereto. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or such other Operative
Document, all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by fax (provided such transmission by fax is in legible form and is accompanied by or generates a substantially simultaneous confirmation of transmission), or
personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid; provided that any communication or document to be made or delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the Security Trustee or Ex–Im
Bank shall be effective only when received by the Indenture Trustee, the Security Trustee or Ex–Im Bank and then only if the same is expressly marked for the attention of the department or officer identified below (or such other department or
officer as such Person shall from time to time specify for this purpose).

 (d) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF
CONFLICTS OF LAW OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW. Any suit, action or proceeding against any of the parties hereto with respect to the Operative Documents or any judgment entered by any court in
respect thereof may be brought in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York and/or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and each party hereto submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such
courts for the purpose of any such suit, action or proceeding; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any party hereto may commence an action in any other jurisdiction to otherwise enforce a judgment issued by such
courts. Each of Lessor, Lessor Parent and Lessee hereby agrees that service of all writs, process and summonses in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts may be made upon its relevant Process Agent, and each of Lessor, Lessor
Parent and Lessee hereby irrevocably appoints each of its Process Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead (as well as that of its respective successors and assigns) to accept such service of any and all such writs,
process and summonses, and agrees that the failure of its relevant Process Agent to give any notice of any such service of process to it shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment based thereon. Each of Lessee, Lessor
Parent and Lessor further agrees (to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws) that a final judgment against Lessee, Lessor and/or Lessor Parent in any such action or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any
other manner provided by law, a certified or true copy of which final judgment shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and of the amount of any indebtedness or liability of Lessor, Lessor Parent and Lessee, as the case may be, therein described;
provided that nothing in this Section 13(d) shall affect the right of any party hereto or its successors, subrogees or assigns to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of such party or its successors,
subrogees or assigns to bring any action or proceeding against Lessee, Lessor, Lessor Parent or their respective property in the courts of other jurisdictions. Each of Lessee, Lessor Parent and Lessor agrees that (x) the sole responsibilities
of its Process Agent shall be (i) to receive such process, (ii) to send a copy of any such process so received to Lessee, Lessor Parent and/or Lessor, as the case may be, by registered airmail, return receipt requested, at its address set
forth in Section 13(c), or at the last address filed in writing by it with its Process Agent, and (iii) to give prompt facsimile notice of receipt thereof to each of Lessee, Lessor Parent and/or Lessor, as the case may be, at such address
and (y) each Process Agent shall have no responsibility for the receipt or nonreceipt by each of Lessee, Lessor Parent and/or Lessor, as the case may be, of such process. Each of Lessee, Lessor Parent and Lessor hereby agrees to pay to its
Process Agent such compensation as 

  
 55 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 
shall be agreed upon from time to time by it and its Process Agent for the Process Agent’s services hereunder. Each of Lessee and Lessor hereby agrees that its respective submission to
jurisdiction and its designation of its Process Agent is made for the express benefit of the Guaranteed Lenders, the Indenture Trustee, the Security Trustee, Ex–Im Bank and their respective successors, subrogees, and assigns. Each of Lessee,
Lessor Parent and Lessor agrees that it will at all times continuously maintain a process agent to receive service of process in the City, County and State of New York on behalf of itself and its properties with respect to this Agreement and shall
give each party hereto written notice prior to any change of address for such agent, and in the event that, for any reason, the process agent named pursuant to this Section 13(d) shall no longer serve as process agent to receive service of
process on Lessee’s, Lessor Parent’s or Lessor’s behalf, as the case may be, Lessee, Lessor Parent or Lessor shall promptly appoint a successor Process Agent. In the event of the transfer of all or substantially all the assets and
business of a Process Agent to any other corporation or Person, by consolidation, merger, sale of assets or otherwise, such other corporation shall be substituted hereunder for such Process Agent with the same effect as if named herein in place of
such Process Agent. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably further consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in said courts by the mailing thereof by any party hereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such
party at its address specified in Section 13(c). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Operative
Documents brought in any of the aforesaid courts and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 

Each of the Lessor and Lessee agrees that the courts referred to in this Section 13(d) shall have exclusive jurisdiction in respect
of any claim, action or suit arising under or in connection with the Cape Town Convention, subject in all respects to the terms of Article 43 of the Convention granting jurisdiction for certain matters to the courts of a Contracting State on
the territory of which any Airframe or any Engine is located and subject to the terms of Article 44 of the Convention with respect to jurisdiction over the International Registry. Each of Lessor and Lessee agrees that, without the prior written
consent of the Security Trustee and Ex–Im Bank it will not initiate any suit, action or proceeding (for avoidance of doubt, other than any counterclaim or defense to any action brought against Lessor or Lessee in any other court) arising under
or relating to the Cape Town Convention, in respect of (x) any Airframe or any Engine or (y) any of the transactions contemplated under the Operative Documents, in any court other than the courts referred to in this Section 13(d).

 (e) The payment obligations of any party to an Operative Document (the “payor”) expressed to be payable
thereunder in one currency (the “first currency”) shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on prompt conversion to the first
currency under normal banking procedures would not yield the full amount of the first currency due thereunder, and the payor shall indemnify the recipient of such payment (the “payee”) against any such shortfall; and in the event
that any payment by the payor, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion and transfer does not result in payment of such amount of the first currency, the payee shall have a separate cause of action against the payor for the
additional amount necessary to yield the amount due and owing to the payee. If it is necessary to determine for any reason other than that referred to above the equivalent in the first currency of a sum denominated in the

  
 56 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 
second currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the payee could purchase the first currency with the second currency on the Business
Day on which such determination is to be made (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day). 

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of any other Operative Document, but subject to Section 7.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement,
no provision of this Agreement or any other Operative Document (other than the Ex–Im Bank Guarantee) may be amended, modified, waived, discharged, terminated or otherwise changed except by an instrument in writing signed by (i) each party
to the relevant Operative Document that is to be amended, modified, waived, discharged, terminated or otherwise changed, (ii) subject to Section 7.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Security Trustee (except in respect of the Ex–Im
Bank Guarantee), and (iii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee, but if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee’s consent will not be required unless such amendment would increase the
obligations of Lessee under the Operative Documents. The Security Trustee shall promptly notify each party hereto of any such amendment, modification, waiver, discharge, termination or other change which it has signed or has agreed to sign, it being
understood that its failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of any such action or result in any liability to the Security Trustee. 
 (g) Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction, and shall not invalidate
or render unenforceable the other provisions hereof in any jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

 (h) Each party hereto (other than Ex–Im Bank) acknowledges and agrees that the activities contemplated by the provisions
of the Operative Documents are commercial in nature rather than governmental or public and therefore acknowledges and agrees that it is not entitled to any right of immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise with respect to such activities
or in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Operative Documents. Each such party in respect of itself and its properties and revenues, expressly and irrevocably waives any such right of immunity (including, but not limited
to, any immunity from suit, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, from set-off, from any execution, or attachment in aid of execution prior to judgment or otherwise or from any other legal process) or claim thereto which may
now or hereafter exist (whether or not claimed), including without limitation under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, and irrevocably agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such action or proceeding that may at
any time be commenced, whether in the United States of America or otherwise. 
 (i) Unless otherwise specified by a Secured
Party in a notice delivered to each of Lessee, Ex–Im Bank and the Indenture Trustee, any amounts payable to any Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Operative Document shall be paid as follows: 

(i) Indenture Trustee, Noteholders and Guaranteed Lenders. All amounts payable to the Indenture Trustee, to the Guaranteed Lenders
or to any Noteholder (other than Ex–Im Bank) shall be paid to the Indenture Trustee for its own account, or on behalf of the Guaranteed Lenders or such Noteholder (other than Ex–Im Bank), as the case may be, at the following account:

OTHER PARTIES HERETO ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL IN RESPECT OF ANY CIVIL ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENT. 
 Section 16. Note Acceleration; Mandatory Prepayment. 
 (a) If
for any reason whatsoever the principal and interest of a Note are expressed to become due and payable or become due and payable in full under any provision of the Indenture, then on the date on which the principal and interest on such Note are
expressed to become due and payable or becomes due and payable in full by Lessor under the Indenture, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the sum of (i) the Termination Value applicable to such date, (ii) any accrued but unpaid Rent (including,
without limitation, amounts corresponding to accrued interest under such 

  
 60 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 
Note through the date of prepayment and any Make-Whole Amount or Prepayment Premium) and (iii) all other amounts then due and payable by Lessee to Lessor or any Secured Party under the Lease
and the other Operative Documents. 
 (b) In the event that Lessor is obliged to or becomes obliged to pay, prepay or redeem the
whole or any part of the principal and interest of a Note under the Indenture in a circumstance where all of the principal and interest on such Note are not due and payable, then Lessee shall on the date which Lessor is obliged to make the relevant
payment, prepayment or redemption, as the case may be, under the Indenture pay to Lessor an amount equal to the relevant amount of the payment, prepayment or redemption, as the case may be, to be paid under the Indenture and all other amounts then
due and payable by the Lessor in respect of such payment, prepayment or redemption. Any payment, prepayment or redemption made by Lessee pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to such Note shall (as it relates to principal) correspondingly
reduce the Termination Value thereafter payable under the Lease. If such payment, prepayment or redemption is a partial payment, prepayment or redemption, then promptly following any payment, prepayment or redemption, as the case may be, by Lessee
to Lessor pursuant to this Section 16(b) with respect to such Note, the Indenture Trustee shall prepare revised schedules in substitution for the then current schedules to the Lease. Such revised schedules shall be prepared on the same basis as
the original schedules so as to reflect that the payment of Basic Rent and Termination Value under the Lease shall be in an amount which is sufficient to repay or redeem such Note and interest thereon. The revised schedules shall promptly be
submitted to each of Lessor, Lessee, the Guaranteed Lenders and Ex–Im Bank for approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Following approval by such parties, the revised schedules shall be substituted for the then
existing schedules and henceforth all payments to be made by Lessee under the Lease shall be made in accordance with such substituted schedules. 
 (c) If for any reason whatsoever the Lease terminates prior to the end of the Term and all of the Rent and Termination Values are expressed to become due and payable or become due and payable in full
thereunder, then on the date on which such amounts are expressed to become due and payable or become due and payable in full by Lessee under the Lease, Lessor shall prepay or redeem all of the principal of such Note together with accrued interest
thereon and all other amounts then due and owing by Lessor under the Indenture and the other Operative Documents. 

Section 17. Minimum Rent. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the Lease or any other Operative
Document to the contrary, each payment of Basic Rent payable under the Lease shall equal under all circumstances and in any event, an amount at least sufficient for Lessor to pay the principal of and interest (including any interest on overdue
principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, overdue interest) on a Note required to be paid by Lessor on each payment date under such Note corresponding to the due date of such installment of Basic Rent. 

Section 18. Lessee’s Right to Perform for Lessor. If Lessor fails to make any payment of any amounts required to
be made by it hereunder or under any other Operative Document or fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein or in any other Operative Document and such failure can be cured with the payment of money, Lessee may, on behalf
of 

  
 61 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 
Lessor, and upon prior notice to Lessor, Ex–Im Bank, the Security Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, itself make such payment and such payment shall be a cure in respect of any default that
has occurred as a result of Lessor’s failure to pay such amount or to perform or comply with such agreement, as the case may be. The amount of any such payment and the amount of the reasonable expenses of Lessee incurred in connection with such
payment, together with interest thereon, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, at the Post-Default Rate, shall be payable by Lessor to Lessee upon demand (after satisfying in full all of Lessor’s obligations under the Operative
Documents). 
 Section 19. Complete Agreement. Except for the other Operative Documents this Agreement
contains the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior written or oral communications or agreements with respect thereto. 

Section 20. No Discharge, Etc.; No Petitioning. 

(a) Each Obligor waives presentation to, demand of payment from, and protest to, the other Obligor of any of the other Obligor’s
obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Documents, and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of each Obligor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of Ex–Im Bank, the Indenture Trustee, the
Security Trustee or any Guaranteed Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Obligor under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Operative Document or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of
any thereof; or (iii) the release of any of the security held by any of Ex–Im Bank, the Security Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Guaranteed Lender with respect to this Agreement or any other Operative Document. 

(b) The obligations of each Obligor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination or any defense
or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever in any case by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of this Agreement, a Note or any other Operative Document against the other Obligor. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Obligor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any of Ex–Im Bank, the Indenture Trustee, the Security Trustee or any Guaranteed Lender to assert
any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, a Note or any other Operative Document, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of this Agreement by
the other Obligor, by release of any of the Collateral held by any Person or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of each Obligor or would
otherwise operate as a discharge of each Obligor as a matter of law or equity. 
 (c) Each of Lessee, Lessor, Lessor Parent,
each Guaranteed Lender and the Indenture Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the Noteholders, hereby agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, the Lessor any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or any other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, so long as any Secured Obligation remains outstanding.

pursuant to the terms thereof, Lessor hereby directs, and Lessee hereby agrees, that all Basic Rent and Termination Value payable to the Lessor under the Lease shall be paid directly to the Indenture Trustee (unless a Material Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Security Trustee has given notice to the Indenture Trustee and Lessor in which case the Basic Rent and Termination Value shall be paid directly to the Security Trustee) for application and
payment in accordance with Section 21(b) hereof.

brokers from time to time to rely exclusively on this provision for the purpose of making all payments in accordance therewith without the need for any further inquiry, consent, authorization, approval or direction by or to said insurance brokers.

 Section 23. No Waiver of Conditions; Further Assurances. 

(a) The parties hereto hereby agree if any of the applicable conditions to be satisfied on each Issuance Date are not satisfied and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur on such Issuance Date nevertheless take place, the party or parties for whose benefit such condition is included shall not automatically be deemed to have waived such condition (unless expressly
waived) and the applicable party or parties to which such condition relates shall procure the satisfaction of such condition within such period as the party or parties for whose benefit such condition is included shall reasonably specify (unless
expressly waived). 
 (b) Lessor and Lessee shall from time to time, at the cost and expense of Lessee, do and perform such
other and further acts and duly execute and deliver such further documents and assurances as may be required by Applicable Laws or requested by any Secured Party to establish, maintain and protect the respective rights and remedies of such Secured

 Section 24. Assignments and Transfers by
Guaranteed Lender 
 (a) If any Guaranteed Lender (the “Transferor”) transfers or assigns or wishes to
transfer or assign all or any of its rights and obligations under the Indenture, a Bank Note and the other Operative Documents to which it is a party (other than an assignment or transfer to Ex–Im Bank pursuant to the Ex–Im Bank
Guarantee), then the Transferor shall procure that the assignee or transferee (the “Transferee”) contemporaneously with the Transfer Date becomes a party to this Agreement and that the Indenture Trustee notifies Lessor and Lessee of
such assignment or transfer, and all parties hereto agree that the Transferee may become a party to this Agreement on the Transfer Date by execution of an Accession Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. Further, if any
Transferor assigns or transfers to any Transferee (other than an assignment or transfer to Ex–Im Bank pursuant to the Ex–Im Bank Guarantee) the corresponding proportion of its interest in a Bank Note, no such assignment or transfer by such
Guaranteed Lender shall be effective unless the Indenture Trustee records such assignee’s or transferee’s interest in such Bank Note in the register that the Indenture Trustee is required to maintain in accordance with Section 2.12 of
the Indenture and 5.01 of the Ex–Im Bank Guarantee, such entry to be conclusive and binding, save in the case of manifest error. 
 (b) Subject to compliance with all terms and conditions of the Ex–Im Bank Guarantee and with all Applicable Laws, any Guaranteed Lender may, at any time (i) change its Lending Office or Lending
Offices to any other office of such Guaranteed Lender upon giving ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of such change to the Indenture Trustee, the Lessee and the Issuer, (ii) assign or transfer as security all or any of its
rights and benefits under the Indenture or a Note to any Federal Reserve Bank of the United States, and/or (iii) with the prior written approval of the Lessee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign or transfer all or
any of its rights, benefits and obligations under the Indenture, a Note and the other Operative Documents to which it is a party to any one or more banks or financial institutions in accordance with Section 24(a) and (d), provided that such
Transferee shall not be a competitor of the Lessee (as the Lessee may determine, acting reasonably) and, provided, further, that the prior written approval of the Lessee shall not be required (i) for any assignment or transfer to any Affiliate
of such Guaranteed Lender, (ii) at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iii) for any assignment or transfer to the Initial Purchasers in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05 and 2.06 of the
Indenture and (iv) for any assignment or transfer to Ex–Im Bank. Upon delivery of a completed Transfer Certificate by the Transferor to the Indenture Trustee, the Lessee and the Borrower, the Transferee shall, on and as of the Transfer
Date specified therein, have, to the extent of such assignment or transfer, the obligations, rights and benefits of a Guaranteed Lender holding a portion of the Bank Note assigned or transferred to it (in addition to the portion of the Bank Note, if
any, theretofore held by such Transferee) and the Transferor shall, to the extent of such assignment or transfer, have no further rights hereunder or under the Bank Note so assigned or transferred; provided that (other than in connection with an
assignment to Ex–Im Bank) unless such assignment and/or transfer was made (A) to mitigate or avoid the requirement for payment of additional amounts or increased costs under the Issuer Indemnity Agreement or any illegality, (B) at the
request of the Lessee or Issuer (acting at the direction and instruction of Lessee in writing), (C) to Ex–Im Bank in connection with a demand under the Ex–Im Bank Guarantee or (D) following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, neither the Issuer nor the Lessee shall be liable to the Transferee for (x) any greater amounts under Sections 6.1 and 10.1 of the Issuer Indemnity Agreement, (y) any greater

  
 64 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 
amounts, liabilities or obligations under the Issuer Indemnity Agreement relating to claims that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment or transfer, in each case of (x) and
(y) based on the Applicable Law as in effect on the date of such assignment or transfer than the Transferor would have been entitled to receive had no such assignment or transfer taken place or (z) any greater amounts as a result of any
Guaranteed Lenders’ change in Lending Office or Lending Offices, based on the Applicable Law as in effect on the date of such change than such Guaranteed Lender would have been entitled to receive had no such change taken place. No Transfer
Certificate shall be required in the case of an assignment or transfer by a Guaranteed Lender to Ex–Im Bank required pursuant to the terms of the Ex–Im Bank Guarantee, but the effect of any such assignment or transfer shall, with respect
only to the rights and obligations assigned to Ex–Im Bank, be the same as set out in the preceding sentence, notwithstanding that the Transfer Certificate shall not have been given.

the Operative Documents and any information concerning the Issuer or Lessee in the possession of such Guaranteed Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), provided such Persons have
agreed to maintain the confidentiality as provided in Section 14 of this Agreement of all such non-public information so furnished. 
 (d) If any Guaranteed Lender (other than Ex–Im Bank) wishes to assign or transfer all or any of its rights, benefits and obligations hereunder as contemplated in Section 24(b), then such
assignment or transfer may be effected (i) in the case of an assignment or transfer to a Person (other than Ex–Im Bank) on the Transfer Date specified in the relevant Transfer Certificate, (ii) in the case of a transfer or assignment
to Ex–Im Bank as a result of a demand under the terms of the Ex–Im Bank Guarantee, on the date of such transfer or (iii) in the case of a transfer or assignment contemplated by Section 2.05, 2.06 or 2.07 of the Indenture, on and
subject to the terms thereof. 
 (e) No Guaranteed Lender (other than Ex–Im Bank, any of its transferees or any further
transferees) may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder as contemplated by this Section 24 unless contemporaneously therewith it assigns or transfers to the same assignee or transferee all or a corresponding part of its
rights, benefits and obligations under each of the other Operative Documents to which such Guaranteed Lender is a party. 
 (f)
Any Transferor (other than Ex–Im Bank and any of its subsequent transferees) shall be solely responsible for all of its costs and expenses for any assignment or transfer under this Section 24 including, without limitation, all costs in
connection with any amendment to or supplement to, or registration of or re-registration of the Security Documents and any legal fees and expenses relating thereto (or may procure that any Transferee pay such costs and expenses), unless such

Issuer or (2) Ex–Im Bank in connection with a demand under the Ex–Im Bank Guarantee or (z) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 (g) The Transferee (other than Ex–Im Bank and any of
its subsequent transferees) shall reimburse Lessee for all customary and reasonable legal and other fees and disbursements incurred by Lessee in relation to the transfer or assignment to such Guaranteed Lender, unless such assignment or transfer was

Indenture, (y) at the request of (1) the Lessee or Issuer or (2) Ex–Im Bank in connection with a demand under the Ex–Im Bank Guarantee or (z) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

 (h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an exchange of a Bank Note for a Global Note in accordance with
Section 2.05 of the Indenture shall be expressly permitted without further consent of any other party other than as provided in the Indenture. 
 Section 25. Suspension and Cancellation by Ex–Im Bank; Termination of Commitment. 
 (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then Ex–Im Bank may, by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, Lessee, and Lessor: (i) suspend further Utilizations under the
Ex–Im Bank Guarantee until Ex–Im Bank is satisfied that the cause of such suspension has been removed; and/or (ii) cancel the unutilized and uncancelled amount of the Ex–Im Bank Commitment. 

(b) In addition to the foregoing, the Lessor (acting solely upon the written instructions of the Lessee) may terminate any part of the
Ex-Im Bank Commitment (or the unutilized portion thereof) by giving notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee, the Guaranteed Lender and Ex-Im Bank; provided that: such part of the Ex-Im Bank Commitment (or the unutilized portion thereof) once

obligation set forth in this clause (i) shall include the aggregate face amount of all such Payment Certificates so issued) or in the exercise of any right in respect thereof provided by Applicable Law, (ii) to pay to Ex–Im Bank
after Ex–Im Bank’s issuance of a Payment Certificate, for Ex–Im Bank’s own account, the Ex–Im Bank Make-Whole Amount, if any, calculated by Ex–Im Bank as of the Calculation Date (as such term is defined in the

each of Lessor and Lessee hereby agrees to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to comply with any relevant provision of any Operative Document to which Lessor or Lessee is a party, as a result of such assignment. 

(b) Waiver by Lessor and Lessee. Each of Lessor and Lessee acknowledges and agrees that if any covenant, stipulation or other
provision of this Agreement which is expressed to impose on Lessor or Lessee the obligation to make any payment whether by way of indemnity or otherwise, is at any time void under any provision of Applicable Law, neither Lessor nor Lessee will make
any claim, counterclaim or institute any proceedings against Ex–Im Bank, the Indenture Trustee, the Guaranteed Lenders or any of their respective assignees or subrogees for any amount paid by Lessor or Lessee at any time and each of Lessor and

interest were registered in such order of priority). Each party hereto agrees to cooperate and to take such actions, insofar as any such consent, cooperation or action of such party is required, as are necessary to timely effect the registration of
the interests set forth above with the International Registry, including consenting to the filing of relevant AC Forms 8050-135 with the FAA so as to permit such registrations.

this Agreement or any other Operative Document to the contrary, any and all liability of Lessor that is created hereunder or under any other Operative Document and all such liability under covenants, obligations, representations, warranties and
indemnities contained herein or therein, shall, in the absence of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, in the aggregate be limited to (i) the recovery from Lessor of all sums that are paid to or recovered by Lessor (or any Person
claiming through or on behalf of Lessor) pursuant to any provision of any of the Operative Documents or as a result of enforcement of any of the Operative Documents, and (ii) the value from time to time of the Collateral. Except as specified
above, Lessor shall not be personally liable for any shortfall that may arise as a result thereof. The provisions of this Section 30 shall only limit the personal liability of Lessor for the discharge of its obligations as specified above and
shall not (i) limit or restrict in any way the accrual of interest on any such unpaid amount, or (ii) derogate from or otherwise limit the right of recovery, realization or application by any of the Guaranteed Lenders, the Indenture
Trustee, the Security Trustee or Ex–Im Bank under or pursuant to any of the Operative Documents on anything assigned, mortgaged, charged, pledged or secured (by way of security) to or for the benefit of the Secured Parties under or pursuant to
any of the Operative Documents. Each of the parties hereto further acknowledges and agrees that it will not seek before any court or government agency or any other proceeding to have any of the members and managers of Lessor from time to time in
their capacity as directors, members and managers of Lessor held liable for any actions or inactions of Lessor or any obligations of Lessor under the Operative Documents except to the extent that such actions or inactions arise as a result of the
fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such persons. Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Agreement or any other Operative Document to the contrary, any and all liability of Lessor Parent that is created by this Agreement
or any other Operative Document or otherwise may arise in connection with the matters contained herein or therein and all such liability under covenants, 

  
 69 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 
obligations, representations, warranties and indemnities contained herein or therein shall, in the absence of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, in the aggregate be limited to the
value from time to time of the Trust Fund (as defined in the Declaration of Trust) of the Trust and available to be applied to such liability. In no circumstances shall Lessor Parent be personally liable for any shortfall that may arise as a result
of this limitation of liability. 
 Section 31. Alternate Rate. 

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of any Operative Document to the contrary (including, without limitation, the Issuer Indemnity
Agreement), if any Guaranteed Lender (or the Calculation Agent on its behalf) shall provide notice to the Issuer pursuant to Section 6.3 of the Issuer Indemnity Agreement with respect to a potential Alternate Rate Claim in respect of an
Interest Period for a Bank Note (the “Affected Interest Period”), then such Guaranteed Lender (an “Affected Lender”) (or the Calculation Agent on its behalf) may (but shall not be obliged to) promptly (and in any event by 3:00
p.m. (Washington, D.C. time) on the Quotation Date for such Affected Interest Period) provide notice thereof to the Security Trustee and Ex-Im Bank. Concurrently therewith, such Affected Lender shall provide to Ex-Im Bank and Lessee a certificate
(an “Alternate Rate Certificate”) from a duly authorized officer of such Affected Lender (i) certifying the Alternate Rate for such Affected Interest Period and (ii) containing a representation that (A) in the case of a
certification made pursuant to Section 6.3.1(a)(ii) or 6.3.1(b) of the Issuer Indemnity Agreement (1) LIBOR does not fairly and accurately reflect the cost to such Guaranteed Lender of maintaining or funding its portion of such Guaranteed
Loan for such Affected Interest Period, (2) the determination of such Alternate Rate has been made in good faith and on a nondiscriminating basis and (3) such Affected Lender’s cost of funds included in such Alternate Rate
(x) does not include any amount or costs not associated with the actual funding of its portion of a Bank Note for such Affected Interest Period and (y) is no more than its actual costs for the sourcing of funds in an amount equal to its
portion of a Bank Note for a period equal to such Affected Interest Period and determined on the relevant Quotation Date or (B) in the case of a certification provided pursuant to Section 6.3.1(a)(i) of the Issuer Indemnity Agreement,
(1) on the Quotation Date for the Affected Interest Period, (x) no offered rate for LIBOR appeared on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any replacement page) and (y) not more than one of the Reference Banks was able to provide a
quotation to the Calculation Agent of an offered quotation for United States dollar deposits for a period equal to such Affected Interest Period to prime banks in the London interbank market, (2) as to the Prior LIBOR Rate for such Affected
Interest Period and (3) the determination of such Alternate Rate has been made in good faith, (4) such Affected Lender’s cost of funds included in such Alternate Rate (x) does not include any amount or costs not associated with
the actual funding of its portion of the Bank Note for such Affected Interest Period and (y) is no more than its actual costs for the sourcing of funds in an amount equal to the portion of a Bank Note purchased by such Affected Lender for a
period equal to such Affected Interest Period and determined on the relevant Quotation Date. 
 (b) Following receipt of an
Alternate Rate Certificate from an Affected Lender, Ex-Im Bank shall determine (in its sole discretion) whether the Alternate Rate for such Bank Note for such Affected Interest Period shall be approved as the Approved Alternate Rate, the Applicable
Rate and the Guaranteed Interest Rate for such Bank Note for such Affected Interest Period, and Ex-Im Bank shall notify the Lessee, the Issuer, the Security Trustee, the Calculation Agent and the Affected Lender of its determination. If Ex-Im Bank
shall so approve such 

  
 70 

 [Participation Agreement] 

 
 
Alternate Rate, then such Alternate Rate shall be the Approved Alternate Rate, the Applicable Rate and the Guaranteed Interest Rate for such Bank Note for such Affected Interest Period for
purposes of the Indenture, such Bank Note and the Ex-Im Bank Guarantee, and if Ex-Im Bank shall not approve an Alternate Rate in connection with a notice provided pursuant to Section 6.3.1(a)(i) of the Issuer Indemnity Agreement, then the
Applicable Rate for such Affected Interest Period shall be the sum of the Prior LIBOR Rate for such Affected Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. If Ex-Im Bank shall not so approve such Alternate Rate, Ex-Im Bank shall determine if the
Alternate Rate Certificate for such Bank Note for such Affected Interest Period meets the requirements of paragraph (a) above, and Ex-Im Bank shall notify the Lessee, the Issuer, the Security Trustee, the Calculation Agent and the Affected
Lender of its determination. If Ex-Im Bank shall determine that such Alternate Rate Certificate meets the requirements of paragraph (a) above, then the corresponding Alternate Rate Claim Amount for such Bank Note for such Affected Interest
Period shall be an Approved Alternate Rate Claim Amount for such Bank Note for such Affected Interest Period for purposes of this Agreement. 
 Section 32. Section 1110 Compliance. Notwithstanding any provision herein or elsewhere contained to the contrary, it is understood and agreed among the parties hereto that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Operative Documents are expressly intended to be, shall be and should be construed so as to be, entitled to the full benefits of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time
to time, and any successor provision thereto.
