Pursuant to Sections 5.2, 7.12 and 8.6 of the Loan Agreement, Section 10.01 of the Indentures and any other applicable provision of the Financing Agreements and the Operative Agreements, the Majority Lenders hereby agree to permit the Grace Period Extension, subject to satisfaction of the Conditions (as defined below), and so mutually direct and instruct Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its capacity as the Security Trustee, the Mortgagee, the Subordination Agent, the Loan Trustee and the Facility Agent, as applicable, and Wheels Up Class A-1 Loan Trust 2022-1, as the Borrower and the Note Holder, as applicable, to consent to and permit the Grace Period Extension, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its capacity as the Security Trustee, the Mortgagee, the Subordination Agent, the Loan Trustee and the Facility Agent, as applicable, and Wheels Up Class A-1 Loan Trust 2022-1, as the Borrower and the Note Holder, as applicable, hereby consent to and permit the Grace Period Extension, in each case as conclusively evidenced by execution of this letter (this “Letter”), and Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its capacity as the Subordination Agent, to execute the subordination agreement referenced under “Conditions” below.

Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions (the “Conditions”), each in form and substance satisfactory to the Majority Lenders, the Mortgagee, the Loan Trustee, the Facility Agent, the Note Holder and the Borrower, the parties hereto hereby agree, in accordance with Sections 5.2, 7.12 and 8.6 of the Loan Agreement, Section 10.01 of the Indentures and any other applicable provision of the Financing Agreements and the Operative Agreements, to permit the Grace Period Extension:

The parties hereto agree that any breach of such covenants shall result in the immediate termination of the grace period extended by the Grace Period Extension. The Owner hereby represents and warrants to the parties hereto that the Owner is in compliance with its obligations under each Engine Maintenance Agreement (as defined in each Indenture) and that all payments (other than de minimis payments) required to be made by or on behalf of the Owner have been made, and that no such Engine Maintenance Agreement has been amended, modified or supplemented since October 14, 2022 in a manner adverse to the Lenders.
In connection with this Letter and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any workout, restructuring, enforcement of rights or other Default or Event of Default under the Operative Agreements, the Owner shall be responsible for the prompt payment of reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Lenders including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of outside counsel and financial advisors, but limited, in the case of fees and expenses of outside counsel and financial advisors, to the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of (x) one primary outside counsel (initially Milbank LLP) and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, (y) one financial advisor (which shall initially be Evercore Group L.L.C.

No amendment, consent, extension or waiver by the Mortgagee or the Borrower (as a Note Holder) under the Indentures is granted or intended except as expressly set forth herein, and the Mortgagee and the Borrower (as a Note Holder) require strict compliance with the terms of the Indentures in all other respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the extension agreed to herein shall not constitute a modification of the Indentures, or a course of dealing with the Mortgagee or the Borrower (as a Note Holder) at variance with the Indentures, such as to require further notice by the Mortgagee or the Borrower (as a Note Holder) to require strict compliance with the terms of the Indentures in the future.



The extension set forth herein is a one-time extension and shall not be construed as an agreement to waive any similar future requirement.
THIS LETTER AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LETTER AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

The jurisdiction and waiver of right to trial by jury provisions in Section 8.14 of the Loan Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.

This Letter may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Letter by fax transmission, e-mail or electronic method of transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Letter.
