In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations and Mortgagee's Liens in the Collateral shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by any amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

If Borrower shall for any reason fail to deliver such Airframe, Engine, APU, Parts or Spare Part or any part thereof after demand by Mortgagee, Mortgagee may, without being responsible for loss or damage, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Mortgagee, (a) obtain a judgment conferring on Mortgagee the right to immediate possession or requiring Borrower to deliver immediate possession of all or part of such Airframe, Engine, APU, Parts or Spare Part to Mortgagee, to the entry of which judgment Borrower hereby specifically consents, or (b) with or, to the fullest extent provided by law, without such judgment, pursue the whole or any part of such Airframe, Engine, APU, Part or Spare Part wherever it may be found and enter any of the premises where such Airframe, Engine, APU, Parts or Spare Part may be and take possession of and remove the same. Upon every such taking of possession, Mortgagee may (but shall not be obligated to), from time to time, make all such reasonable expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Airframe, Engine, APU, Part or Spare Part as Mortgagee may deem proper, which amounts shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 4.05.
 
Section 4.03 Receiver.
 
Mortgagee shall be entitled, as a matter of right as against Borrower, without notice or demand and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Secured Obligations by virtue of this Mortgage or any other Collateral or to the solvency of Borrower, upon the commencement of judicial proceedings by it to enforce any right under this Mortgage, to the appointment of a receiver of all or any part of the Collateral.
 
Section 4.04 Sale and Suits for Enforcement.
 
(a) Upon an Event of Default, Mortgagee, with or without taking possession of an Airframe, Engine, APU, Part or Spare Part, may:
 
(i) to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, sell at one or more public or private sales, as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels, the whole or any part of such Airframe, Engine, APU, Part or Spare Part, at such place or places and at such time or times and upon such terms, including terms of credit (which may include the retention of title by Mortgagee to the property so sold), as Mortgagee may determine, whether or not such Airframe, Engine, APU, Part or Spare Part shall be at the place of sale; and
 
(ii) proceed to protect and enforce its rights under this Mortgage by suit, whether for specific performance of any covenant herein contained or in aid of the exercise of any power herein granted or for the foreclosure of this Mortgage and the sale of the Collateral under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction or for the enforcement of any other right.
 
(b) At any public sale of such Airframe, Engine, APU, Part or Spare Part or any Part thereof by Mortgagee pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(i) above, Mortgagee may consider and accept bids requiring the extension of credit to the bidder and may determine the highest bidder at such sale, whether or not the bid of such bidder shall be solely for cash or shall require the extension of credit.
 
(c) Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by law, may from time to time adjourn any sale under Section 4.04(a)(i) above by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for any adjournment thereof and without further notice or publication, except as may be required by law, such sale to be made at the time and place to which the same shall have been so adjourned.
 
(d) Upon the completion of any sale under Section 4.04(a)(i) above, full title and right of possession to the Airframe, Engine, APU, Part or Spare Part so sold shall (subject to any retention of title by Mortgagee as part of the terms of such sale) pass to the accepted purchaser forthwith upon the completion of such sale, and Borrower shall deliver, in accordance with the instructions of Mortgagee (including causing the Engine, APU, Part or Spare Part to be flown to such airports as Mortgagee may specify), such Airframe, Engine, APU, Part or Spare Part so sold. If Borrower shall for any reason fail to deliver such Airframe, Engine, APU, Part or Spare Part, Mortgagee shall have all of the rights granted by Section 4.02 hereof. Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Borrower, in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances of an Airframe, Engine, APU, or Part or Spare Part if so sold. Nevertheless, if so requested by Mortgagee or by any purchaser, Borrower shall confirm any such sale or conveyance by executing and delivering all proper instruments of conveyance or releases as may be designated in any such request.
 
(e) Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that a notice, which shall be sent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement or this Mortgage, at least 10 days before the date of any of the foregoing acts described in this Section 4.04, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice of such act and, specifically, reasonable notification of the time and place of any public sale hereunder and reasonable notification of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition to be made hereunder is to be made.
 
Section 4.05 Expenses of Enforcement.
 
Borrower shall pay to Mortgagee on demand any and all reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses) which may have been incurred by Mortgagee, with interest: (a) in the prosecution or defense of any action growing out of or connected with the subject matter of this Mortgage, the Secured Obligations, the Collateral or any of Mortgagee's rights therein or thereto; or (b) in connection with the custody, preservation, use, operation, preparation for sale or sale of any of the Collateral or in connection with obtaining possession of any of the Collateral, the incurring of all of which are hereby authorized to the extent Mortgagee deems the same advisable. Borrower's liability to Mortgagee for any such payment with interest shall be included in the Secured Obligations. The Proceeds of any Collateral received by Mortgagee at any time before or after default, whether from a sale or other disposition of the Collateral or otherwise, or the Collateral itself, may be applied to the payment in full or in part of such of the Secured Obligations and in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect. Borrower, to the extent of its rights in the Collateral, waives and releases any right to require Mortgagee to collect any of the Secured Obligations from any other of the Collateral or any other collateral then held by Mortgagee under any theory of marshaling of assets or otherwise.
 
Section 4.06 Waiver of Appraisement, Etc.
 
Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it lawfully may, that Borrower will not (and hereby irrevocably waives its right to) at any time plead, or claim the benefit or advantage of, any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Mortgage or the absolute sale of the Collateral.
 
Section 4.07 Remedies Cumulative.
 
No remedy herein conferred upon Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy herein conferred or now or hereafter existing in law. In addition, to the remedies provided in this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall have and enjoy all of the remedies provided to it in the Convention.
 
Section  4.08 Application of Proceeds.
 
Proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition or other realization upon any Collateral pursuant to this Mortgage and all other sums realized or held by the Mortgagee under this Mortgage or any proceedings hereunder (including any proceeds of insurance) shall be applied by Mortgagee and any Lender upon receipt as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
 
Section 4.09 Delay or Omission; Possession of Notes.
 
(a) No delay or omission of Mortgagee to exercise any right or remedy arising upon the happening of any Default or Event of Default shall impair any right or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein and every right and remedy given to Mortgagee by this Article 4 or by Applicable Law may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee.
 
(b) All rights of action under this Mortgage may be enforced by Mortgagee without the possession of the Note or any other instrument or document evidencing any obligation or the production thereof in any proceeding.
 
Section 4.10 Power of Attorney.
 
Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney of Borrower for the duration of this Mortgage (with full power of substitution) in the name, place and stead of, and at the expense of, Borrower in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Article 4: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittances for amounts collected or received hereunder; (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Airframe, Engine, APU, Parts or Spare Parts in connection with any sale, lease or other disposition made pursuant hereto; (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale, lease or other disposition, Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto; (d) to execute in Borrower's name and file one or more financing, amendment and continuation statements covering the Collateral in order to perfect or continue a perfected Mortgagee's Lien upon the Collateral if Borrower fails to do so promptly after request therefore by Mortgagee, including filing any financing or continuation statement without the signature of Borrower to the extent permitted by Applicable Law; (e) to register, amend, assign, subordinate, consent to or discharge any registrations on the International Registry; (f) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to a given Lease; (g) to receive, open, and retain all mail addressed to Borrower relating to the Collateral, (h) to make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower's or any Lessee’s policies of insurance and make all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance relating to the Collateral; and (i) to settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Mortgagee determines to be reasonable, and Mortgagee may cause to be executed and delivered any documents and releases which Mortgagee determines to be necessary. Except for item (d) above, the power of attorney granted hereby may not be exercised unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Mortgagee has notified Borrower that it will enforce its security interest in the Collateral if such notice is specifically required under the applicable Loan Documents (including pursuant to any notice and cure rights). The appointment of Mortgagee as Borrower's attorney-in-fact, and each and every one of Mortgagee's rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Secured Obligations have been fully repaid and performed. MORTGAGEE AND ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, LENDERS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO BORROWER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT PURSUANT TO THE POWERS GRANTED UNDER THE POWER OF ATTORNEY HEREIN OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT FOR ITS OR THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Nevertheless, if so requested by Mortgagee or a purchaser, lessor or lessee, Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale, lease or other disposition by executing and delivering to Mortgagee or such purchaser, lessor or lessee all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases, leases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request. Any such attorney of Borrower shall have full power to do any and all things necessary to be done with respect to the above transactions as fully and effectually as Borrower might do, and Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The rights of the Mortgagee under this section shall be in addition to the rights of the Mortgagee under the IDERA, as set forth in section 3.02 above.
 
Section 4.11 Waiver of Claims.
 
To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower waives all claims, damages, and demands against Mortgagee, its Affiliates, agents, and the officers and employees of any of them arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of any Collateral and any other acts or failure to act in connection with Mortgagee's rights and remedies hereunder, except such as are determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.
 
Section 4.12 Additional Waivers.
 
Borrower waives: (a) all right to require Mortgagee to proceed against any other person including any other borrower hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or to apply any Collateral Mortgagee may hold at any time or to pursue any other remedy, Collateral, endorsers or guarantors may be released, substituted or added without affecting the liability of Borrower hereunder; (b) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action upon any obligations of Borrower secured hereby; (c) any right of subrogation and any right to participate in Collateral until all obligations secured hereby have been paid in full; and (d) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to oppose the appointment of a receiver or similar official to operate Borrower's business after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES, PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK, RESPECTIVELY, SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO PERTAINING TO THIS MORTGAGE OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS MORTGAGE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED, THAT EACH OF THE BORROWER AND MORTGAGEE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK; AND FURTHER PROVIDED, THAT NOTHING IN THIS MORTGAGE SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE MORTGAGEE OR ANY CREDIT FACILITY LENDER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO COLLECT THE OBLIGATIONS DUE UNDER THE CREDIT FACILITY, TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR SUCH OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF MORTGAGEE OR SUCH CREDIT FACILITY LENDER.

Section 6.05 Severability; Drafting.
 
The invalidity of any one or more of the provisions of this Mortgage shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Mortgage. If any one or more of the provisions of this Mortgage should be held by any court of law to be invalid, or should operate to render this Mortgage invalid or to impair the lien and security interest of this Mortgage on all or the major portion of the property intended to be mortgaged hereunder, this Mortgage shall be construed as if such provisions had not been contained therein. In the event of a dispute between any of the parties hereto over the meaning of this Mortgage, all parties shall be deemed to have been the drafter hereof, and any Applicable Law that states that contracts are construed against the drafter shall not apply.

(b) Partial Release. Notwithstanding paragraph (a), subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Borrower shall be entitled to have any item of Collateral released from this Mortgage, which partial releases shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, for sale or other disposal of Collateral in accordance with the Loan Agreement. If any item of Collateral released pursuant to the foregoing is then the subject of a Lease from Borrower and if the Lessee has deposited with Borrower any Security Deposit or related cash, letter of credit, or guaranty, a maintenance reserve or other cash deposit that does not constitute payment of rental under the relevant Lease, then at the time of release of the relevant Collateral the Mortgagee shall also release the related cash deposit and letter of credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be entitled to a release of any item of Collateral unless, at the time of such release: (i) Borrower complies with all requirements set forth in the Loan Agreement regarding the sale, disposal or other transfer of such Collateral and in any other Loan Document; (ii) there is not then existing an Default or Event of Default; and (iii) no Default or Event of Default would exist immediately following the release.

This Mortgage is a complete amendment and restatement of the Security Agreement, and the Liens contained in the Security Agreement are carried forward, renewed and extended to secure the obligations and indebtedness secured by the Security Agreement. This Mortgage and the security interest herein granted are in addition to, and not in substitution, novation or discharge of, any and all prior or contemporaneous security agreements and security interests in favor of Mortgage or assigned to Mortgagee by others. All rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee in all such security agreements are cumulative, but in the event of actual conflict in terms and conditions, the terms and conditions of the latest security agreement shall govern and control.
