(f) Upon the making of any Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the Borrowers payment instructions, the Liquidity Provider shall be fully discharged of its obligation hereunder with respect to such Notice of Borrowing, and the Liquidity Provider shall not thereafter be obligated to make any further Advances hereunder in respect of such Notice of Borrowing to the Borrower or to any other Person (including the Class A Trustee or any Class A Certificateholder). If the Liquidity Provider makes an Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day after the date of payment specified in Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Provider shall have fully discharged its obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an event of default shall not have occurred hereunder. Following the making of any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d) to fund the Class A Cash Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights to the Class A Cash Collateral Account, such Advance or any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account; provided that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Subordination Agent to make the distributions contemplated by Section 3.05(e) or 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. By paying to the Borrower proceeds of Advances requested by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider makes no representation as to, and assumes no responsibility for, the correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount of the Advances so made and requested.
Section 2.03 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.
Section 2.04 Reduction or Termination of the Maximum Commitment. (a) Automatic Reduction. Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance of the Class A Certificates, the Maximum Commitment shall automatically be reduced to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by the Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment to the Liquidity Provider and Delta within two Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower to furnish any such notice shall not affect any such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment.

(b) Termination. Upon the making of any Provider Advance, Special Termination Advance or Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall automatically and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any further Borrowing hereunder.
Section 2.05 Repayments of Interest Advances, the Special Termination Advance or the Final Advance. Subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Provider (which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be paid, to the Liquidity Provider (a) on each date on which the Liquidity Provider shall make an Interest Advance, the Special Termination Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to the amount of such Advance (any such Advance, until repaid, is referred to herein as an Unpaid Advance), plus (b) interest on the amount of each such Unpaid Advance in the amounts and on the dates determined as provided in Section 3.07; provided that if (i) the Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Interest Advances have reduced the Maximum Available Commitment to zero, then such Interest Advances shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is required to be repaid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of Section 2.06(b)); provided, further, that amounts in respect of a Special Termination Advance withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class A Certificates in accordance with Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the portion of the outstanding Special Termination Advance equal to the amount of any such withdrawal, but not in excess of the outstanding Special Termination Advance, being an Applied Special Termination Advance) shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; provided, further, that if, following the making of a Special Termination Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(a), such Special Termination Advance (including any portion thereof that is an Applied Special Termination Advance) shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; and, provided, further, that if, after making a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Special Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(b), any Unapplied Provider Advance shall be converted to and treated as a Special Termination Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the obligation for repayment thereof under the Intercreditor Agreement. The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the repayment in full of each Interest Advance, Special Termination Advance and Final Advance on the date such Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider. For the avoidance of doubt, interest payable on
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(2011-1 EETC)
(2011-1 EETC)
13
an Interest Advance, Special Termination Advance or the Final Advance shall not be regarded as overdue unless such interest is not paid when due under Section 3.07.
Section 2.06 Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the Class A Cash Collateral Account and invested and withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.05(c), 3.05(d), 3.05(e) and 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider, on each Regular Distribution Date, commencing on the first Regular Distribution Date after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the principal amount of any such Provider Advance, in the amounts determined as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however, that amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class A Certificates in accordance with Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the amount of any such withdrawal being (y), in the case of a Downgrade Advance, an Applied Downgrade Advance and (z) in the case of a Non-Extension Advance, an Applied Non-Extension Advance and together with an Applied Downgrade Advance, an Applied Provider Advance) shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; provided, further, however, that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(a), such Provider Advance shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Class A Cash Collateral Account on account of a reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity Provider a portion of the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to such reduction, plus interest on the principal amount so repaid as provided in Section 3.07.
(b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account of any amount pursuant to clause fourth of Section 3.02 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount being a Replenishment Amount) for the purpose of replenishing or increasing the balance thereof up to the Required Amount at such time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider Advances and Applied Special Termination Advances (and of Provider Advances and Special Termination Advances treated as Interest Advances for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount, and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Unapplied Provider Advances shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.
(c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity Facility in replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement, as provided in Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance on the date of such
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(2011-1 EETC)
(2011-1 EETC)
14
replacement shall be reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the Liquidity Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.
Section 2.07 Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the Intercreditor Agreement. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of or increase in any amounts payable hereunder). Amounts so paid to the Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider in the order of priority required by the applicable provisions of Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement and shall discharge in full the corresponding obligations of the Borrower hereunder.
Section 2.08 Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of Advances.
Section 2.09 Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only from the amounts that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments and other payments under the Operative Agreements, including payment under Section 4.02 of the Participation Agreements and payments under Section 2.14 of the Indentures, and only to the extent that the Borrower shall have sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the Borrower to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The Liquidity Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts to the extent available for distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement and that the Borrower, in its individual capacity, is not personally liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Participation Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement only to the extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 2.10 Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension Advance. No earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (unless such Expiry Date is on or after the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class A Certificates), the Borrower shall request that the Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(2011-1 EETC)
(2011-1 EETC)
15
Class A Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day occurring after the last day of the Consent Period (as hereinafter defined). Whether or not the Borrower has made such request, the Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower no earlier than the 40th day (or, if earlier, the date of the Liquidity Providers receipt of such request, if any, from the Borrower) and no later than the 25th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (such period, the Consent Period), whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date. If the Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall not be so extended, or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall be so extended (and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and after the date on which the Consent Period ends (but prior to the then effective Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b)(i) and Section 3.05(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
ARTICLE III
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER
Section 3.01 Increased Costs. Without duplication of any rights created by Section 3.03, if as a result of any Regulatory Change there shall be any increase by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in the actual cost to the Liquidity Provider of making, funding or maintaining any Advances or its obligation to make any such Advances or there shall be any reduction by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in the amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement in respect thereof, and in case of either such an increase or reduction, such event does not arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Liquidity Provider, from its breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Intercreditor Agreement or from its failure to comply with any such Regulatory Change (any such increase or reduction being referred to herein as an Increased Cost), then, subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall from time to time pay to the Liquidity Provider an amount equal to such Increased Cost within 10 Business Days after delivery to the Borrower and Delta of a certificate of an officer of the Liquidity Provider describing in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it claims such Increased Cost and the basis for the determination of the amount of such Increased Cost; provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay amounts only with respect to any Increased Costs accruing from the date 120 days prior to the date of delivery of such certificate. Such certificate, in the absence of manifest error, shall be considered prima facie evidence of the amount of the Increased Costs for purposes of this Agreement; provided that any determinations and allocations by the Liquidity Provider of the effect of any Regulatory Change on the costs of maintaining the Advances or the obligation to make Advances are made on a reasonable basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidity Provider shall not be entitled to assert any claim under this Section 3.01 in respect of or attributable to Excluded Taxes. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower and Delta as promptly as practicable of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(2011-1 EETC)
(2011-1 EETC)
16
the Liquidity Provider to compensation under this Section 3.01. The Liquidity Provider agrees to investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives for reducing any Increased Costs and to use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize, to the greatest extent possible, any claim in respect of Increased Costs, including, without limitation, by designating a different Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such claim; provided that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to take any action that is not materially consistent with its internal policies or is otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider or that would cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower or Delta agrees to reimburse or indemnify the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, such notice fails to avoid the need for any claim in respect of Increased Costs, Delta may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Borrower be required to make payments under this Section 3.01: (a) in respect of any Regulatory Change proposed by any applicable governmental authority (including any branch of a legislature), central bank or comparable agency of the United States or the Liquidity Providers jurisdiction of organization or in which its Lending Office is located and pending as of the date of this Agreement (it being agreed that the Regulatory Changes contemplated by the Consultative Documents issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision entitled Strengthening the resilience of the banking sector and International framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring, each dated December 2009, shall not be considered to have been proposed or pending as of the date of this Agreement); (b) if a claim hereunder in respect of an Increased Cost arises through circumstances peculiar to the Liquidity Provider and that do not affect similarly organized commercial banking institutions in the same jurisdiction generally that are in compliance with the law, rule, regulation or interpretation giving rise to the Regulatory Change relating to such Increased Cost; (c) if the Liquidity Provider shall fail to comply with its obligations under this Section 3.01 or (d) if the Liquidity Provider is not also seeking payment for similar increased costs in other similarly situated transactions related to the airline industry.
Section 3.02 Reserved.
Section 3.03 Withholding Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. If any Taxes are so required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, then, subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant authorities the full amount so required to be deducted or withheld and, without duplication of any rights created by Section 3.01, if such Taxes are Covered Taxes, pay to the Liquidity Provider such additional amounts as shall be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Liquidity Provider (after deduction or withholding of all Covered Taxes) shall be equal to the full amount that would have been received by the Liquidity Provider had no withholding or deduction of
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(2011-1 EETC)
(2011-1 EETC)
17
Covered Taxes been required. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. If the Liquidity Provider receives a refund of, or realizes a net Tax benefit not otherwise available to it as a result of, any Taxes for which additional amounts were paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Liquidity Provider shall pay to the Borrower (for deposit into the Collection Account) the amount of such refund (and any interest thereon) or net benefit.
The Liquidity Provider will (i) provide (on its behalf and on behalf of any participant holding a Participation pursuant to Section 7.08) to the Borrower (x) on or prior to the Effective Date two valid completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (whichever is applicable), including thereon a valid U.S. taxpayer identification number (or, with respect to any such participant, such other form or documentation as may be applicable) covering all amounts receivable by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements and (y) thereafter from time to time such additional forms or documentation as may be necessary to establish an available exemption from withholding of United States Tax on payments hereunder so that such forms or documentation are effective for all periods during which it is the Liquidity Provider and (ii) provide timely notice to the Borrower if any such form or documentation is or becomes inaccurate. The Liquidity Provider shall deliver to the Borrower such other forms or documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or required by applicable law to establish that payments hereunder are exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of Covered Taxes.
(b) All payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Borrower under this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional amount which (after deduction of all such Taxes) will be sufficient to yield to the Borrower the full amount which would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been made. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable to such payment.
If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes required to be borne by the Liquidity Provider under this Section 3.03(b) is reasonably available to the Borrower without providing any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates, the Borrower shall deliver the Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such other evidence of the eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or reductions (but without any requirement to
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(2011-1 EETC)
(2011-1 EETC)
18
provide any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates) as the Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as being required as a condition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, such Taxes.
Section 3.04 Payments. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall make or cause to be made each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in Dollars, to the Liquidity Provider in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account of Natixis S.A., acting via its New York Branch, at [___]; or to such other U.S. bank account as the Liquidity Provider may from time to time direct the Subordination Agent.
Section 3.05 Computations. All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.
Section 3.06 Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional interest shall be due as a result (and if so made, shall be deemed to have been made when due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance is so deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the commencement of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce the number of days for which interest will be payable on such Advance on the next Interest Payment Date for such Advance.
Section 3.07 Interest. (a) Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of such Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance, from and including the date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class A Certificates) to but excluding the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance, the date on which the Class A Cash Collateral Account is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii), to the extent permitted by law, any other amount due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or installments of interest on Advances or any such other amount) that is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at the interest rate per annum for each day that such amount remains overdue and unpaid equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate for such Advance or such other amount, as the case may be, as in effect for such day, but in no event in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law; provided, however,
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(2011-1 EETC)
(2011-1 EETC)
19
that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law any subsequent reduction in such interest rate will not reduce the rate of interest payable pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest accrued equals the absolute amount of interest that would have accrued (without additional interest thereon) if such otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all relevant times been in effect.
(b) Except as provided in Section 3.07(e), each Advance will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section 3.07. Each such Advance will be a Base Rate Advance for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third Business Day following the Liquidity Providers receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance; provided that a Provider Advance shall always be a LIBOR Advance unless the Borrower elects otherwise.
(c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid.
(d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and, in the event of the payment of principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a Regular Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).
(e) Each outstanding Unapplied Non-Extension Advance shall bear interest in an amount equal to the Investment Earnings plus the Applicable Margin on amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account for such Unapplied Non-Extension Advance on the amount of such Unapplied Non-Extension Advance, from time to time, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.
(f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.0% per annum until paid.
(g) If at any time, the Liquidity Provider shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank lending market generally, the LIBOR
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(2011-1 EETC)
(2011-1 EETC)
20
Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Liquidity Provider (as conclusively certified by the Liquidity Provider, absent manifest error) of making or maintaining Advances, the Liquidity Provider shall give facsimile or telephonic notice thereof (a Rate Determination Notice) to the Borrower. If such notice is given, then the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances effective from the date of the Rate Determination Notice; provided that the Applicable Liquidity Rate in respect of such Base Rate Advances shall be increased by one per cent (1.00%). The Liquidity Provider shall withdraw a Rate Determination Notice given hereunder when the Liquidity Provider determines that the circumstances giving rise to such Rate Determination Notice no longer apply to the Liquidity Provider, and the Base Rate Advances shall be converted to LIBOR Advances effective as the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period after the date of such withdrawal. Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective immediately. The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the Applicable Liquidity Rate.
Section 3.08 Replacement of Borrower. Subject to Section 5.02, from time to time and subject to the successor Borrowers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.09 of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to the Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and time specified in a written and completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent in substantially the form of Annex VIII (a Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent) delivered to the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower designated therein shall become the Borrower for all purposes hereunder.
Section 3.09 Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of the Applicable Margin or anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:
(1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance; or
(2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02.
Section 3.10 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if any change in any law, rule or regulation applicable to or binding on the Liquidity Provider, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class A)
(2011-1 EETC)
(2011-1 EETC)
21
impossible for the Liquidity Provider to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower and Delta by the Liquidity Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, requires immediate conversion; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change or request. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower and Delta as promptly as practicable of any event that will or to its knowledge is reasonably likely to lead to the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances under this Section 3.10; provided that a failure by the Liquidity Provider to notify the Borrower or Delta of an event that is reasonably likely to lead to such a conversion prior to the time that it is determined that such event will lead to such a conversion shall not prejudice the rights of the Liquidity Provider under this Section 3.10. The Liquidity Provider agrees to investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives for avoiding the need for such conversion, including, without limitation, designating a different Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid the need to convert such LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances; provided that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the Borrower or Delta agrees to reimburse or indemnify the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, fails to avoid the need for conversion of the LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances, Delta may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
