 5 

 
on behalf of, or claiming through it, hereby waives, releases, remises and forever discharges each member of the Lender Group, each Bank Product Provider, and each of their respective Affiliates,
and each of their respective successors in title, past, present and future officers, directors, employees, limited partners, general partners, investors, attorneys, assigns, subsidiaries, shareholders, trustees, agents and other professionals and
all other persons and entities to whom any member of the Lenders would be liable if such persons or entities were found to be liable to such Loan Party (each a “Releasee” and collectively, the “Releasees”), from any
and all past, present and future claims, suits, liens, lawsuits, adverse consequences, amounts paid in settlement, debts, deficiencies, diminution in value, disbursements, demands, obligations, liabilities, causes of action, damages, losses, costs
and expenses of any kind or character, whether based in equity, law, contract, tort, implied or express warranty, strict liability, criminal or civil statute or common law (each a “Claim” and collectively, the
“Claims”), whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, direct, indirect, or derivative, asserted or unasserted, matured or unmatured, foreseen or unforseen, past or present, liquidated or unliquidated, suspected or unsuspected,
which such Loan Party ever had from the beginning of the world to the date hereof, or now has, against any such Releasee which relates, directly or indirectly to the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or to any acts or omissions of any such
Releasee with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to the lender-borrower relationship evidenced by the Loan Documents, except for the duties and obligations set forth in any of the Loan Documents or in this Amendment. As
to each and every Claim released hereunder, each Loan Party hereby represents that it has received the advice of legal counsel with regard to the releases contained herein, and having been so advised, specifically waives the benefit of the
provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California which provides as follows: 
 “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO
CLAIMS WHICH A CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” 

As to each and every Claim released hereunder, each Loan Party also waives the benefit of each other similar provision of applicable federal
or state law (including without limitation the laws of the state of California), if any, pertaining to general releases after having been advised by its legal counsel with respect thereto. 

Each Loan Party each acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those now known or believed to be
true with respect to such Claims and agrees that this instrument shall be and remain effective in all respects notwithstanding any such differences or additional facts. Each Loan Party understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth
above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release. 

(c) Each Loan Party, for itself and on behalf of its successors, assigns, and officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys, and any
Person acting for or on behalf of, or claiming through it, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Releasee above that it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or
otherwise) any Releasee on the basis of any Claim released, remised and discharged by such Person pursuant to the above release. If any Loan Party or any of its respective successors, assigns, or officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys,
or any Person acting for or on behalf of, or claiming through it violate the foregoing covenant, such Person, for itself and its successors, assigns and legal representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Releasee may
sustain as a result of such violation, all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by such Releasee as a result of such violation. 

  
 6

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

10. Effect on Loan Documents.

full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and hereby are ratified and confirmed in all respects. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate, except as expressly set forth herein, as a waiver

Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes,
extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements,
substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties,
including cash, securities, accounts, and contract rights. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns. 

11. Entire Agreement. This Amendment, and the terms and provisions hereof, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute

implied, oral or written. 
 12. Reaffirmation of Obligations. Each Loan Party hereby reaffirms its obligations under each Loan

security interests, and all collateral heretofore pledged as security for such obligations, continue to be and remain collateral for such obligations from and after the date hereof. Each Loan Party hereby further does grant to Agent, for the benefit
of each member of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, a perfected security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Guaranty and Security Agreement) and the Collateral (as defined in the Aircraft and Engine Security Agreement) in
order to secure all of its present and future obligations under the Loan Documents. 
 13. Severability. In case any provision in
this Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the remainder of this Amendment and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby. 
 14. Guarantors. Each of the undersigned Guarantors consent to the amendments to the Loan Documents contained herein.
Although the undersigned Guarantors have been informed of the matters set forth herein and have consented to same, each Guarantor understands that no member of the Lender Group has any obligation to inform it of such matters in the future or to seek
