14




The rights of any Lessee or other transferee who receives possession by reason of a transfer permitted by this Section 3.03 (other than the transfer of an Engine deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and subordinate to, and any Lease permitted by this Section 3.03, shall expressly provide that it is subject and subordinate to, all the terms of this Security Agreement, including, without limitation, the covenants contained in this Security Agreement, including the inspection rights and the Security Agent’s right to repossess the Aircraft and to avoid and terminate any Lease upon any Event of Default; provided that in the case of the use of the Aircraft in CRAF the subject and subordinate requirements herein shall be subject to the notice specified in Article IX and other requirements of the CRAF program.  The Borrower shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance of all of the terms of this Security Agreement (including in the case of any Lease hereunder), and the terms of any such Lease shall not permit any Lessee to take any action not permitted to be taken by the Borrower hereunder with respect to the leased Aircraft or Engine, shall permit the Borrower to cancel the Lease and repossess the Aircraft upon an event of default thereunder, shall prohibit any sub-leasing thereunder and may permit the Borrower to cure any default by the Lessee; provided, however, that the Borrower may procure such performance from any Lessee pursuant to the relevant Lease, and the Security Agent hereby agrees to accept such performance by such Lessee in satisfaction of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder to the extent such performance, in accordance with this Security Agreement, is received by the Security Agent; and provided further that all rights accruing hereunder to the Borrower (including, without limitation, the right to contest any law as provided in Section 3.02, the right to relinquish possession of the Aircraft as provided in Section 3.03, the right to subject Parts to pooling arrangements as provided in Section 4.02, the right to make alterations, modifications and additions as provided in Section 4.03 (except that no Lessee shall be entitled to reduce the value of the Aircraft by utilizing the “obsolete parts” provision therein) and the right to create a Permitted Lien as provided in Section 7.01) shall likewise accrue to such Lessee to the extent the Borrower so permits and to the extent such rights may be subject to any limitation or conditions herein.

The Borrower shall provide to the Security Agent a certified true and correct copy of any Lease that is for a term of six (6) months or greater promptly after it is signed.

Any Wet Lease under which the Borrower maintains operational control of the Aircraft shall not constitute a Lease or other delivery, transfer or relinquishment of possession for purposes of this Section 3.03.

The Borrower shall confirm the assignment hereunder of each Lease with a term in excess of six (6) months (including pursuant to any voluntary renewals and extensions or rights to renew or extend) to the Security Agent as security for the obligations secured hereby by an instrument of assignment which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Security Agent and shall provide that so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all payments made under such Lease shall be paid to the Borrower and, during any period when a Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be paid to the Security Agent to be held as collateral for the obligations secured hereby.  Unless a Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall be entitled to exercise all rights as lessor under any Lease, including with respect to any amendment thereto or any defaults thereunder, in accordance with this Security Agreement.  During the existence of any Event of Default, the Security Agent, to the exclusion of the Borrower, shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies as lessor under any Lease that has been assigned, including with respect to any amendment thereto or any defaults thereunder.

The Security Agent agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower and for the benefit of any mortgagee or other holder of a security interest in any engine owned by the Borrower, any lessor of any engine leased to the Borrower and any conditional vendor of any engine purchased by the Borrower subject to a conditional sale agreement or any other security agreement, that no interest shall be created hereunder in any engine so owned, leased or purchased and that neither the Security Agent nor its successors or assigns will acquire or claim, as against the Borrower or any such mortgagee, lessor or conditional vendor or other holder of a security interest or interest in such engine as the result of such engine being installed on the Airframe; provided, however, that such agreement of the Security Agent shall not be for the benefit of any lessor or secured party of any airframe leased to the Borrower or purchased by the Borrower subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement or for the benefit of any mortgagee of or any other holder of a security interest in an airframe owned by the Borrower, unless such lessor, conditional vendor, other secured party or mortgagee has agreed (which agreement may be contained in such lease, conditional sale or other security agreement or mortgage and may consist of a paragraph similar to this paragraph) that neither it nor its successors or assigns will acquire, as against the Security Agent, any right, title or interest in an Engine as a result of such Engine being installed on such airframe.

During the term of any Lease, the Borrower shall continue to take all actions which are necessary, reasonably advisable or customary for secured aircraft lenders to continue the Security Agent’s security interest in the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines, and any Lease which is required to be assigned hereunder and all necessary, reasonably advisable or customary documents shall be duly filed, registered or recorded in such public offices as may be necessary, reasonably advisable or customary for secured aircraft lenders to fully preserve and perfect the priority of the security interest of the Security Agent in the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines and such Lease.  With respect to any such Lease to which the Cape Town Convention is applicable as provided in Article 3 of the Cape Town Convention (whether in respect of both the Airframe and an Engine or only the Airframe), (A) the Borrower agrees to have registered with the International Registry a collateral assignment by the Borrower of such International Interests attributable to such Lease and (B) the Borrower and the Security Agent shall have received a favorable opinion of counsel (which counsel and opinion are reasonably satisfactory to the Security Agent), and a supporting registry search certificate issued by the International Registry, regarding such registrations.  The Security Agent agrees that with respect to any Lease assigned to the Security Agent as provided herein, upon termination of such Lease, the Security Agent shall assign or consent to the assignment of the International Interest, if any, attributable to such Lease to the Borrower, or discharge the assignment, as appropriate.

The Borrower shall pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Security Agent or any Lender in connection with any Lease of the Aircraft, including all reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to the Security Agent in the United States and in each other applicable jurisdiction.

Mortgaged to C.I.T. Leasing Corporation, as Security Agent

(such nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of any successor to the Security Agent as permitted under the Transaction Documents).

Nothing herein contained shall prohibit the Borrower (or any Lessee) from placing its customary colors and insignia on the Airframe or any Engine or from otherwise operating the Aircraft in its livery.

17




Section 4.02         Pooling of Parts; Temporary Replacement Parts.  Any Part removed from the Airframe or any Engine as provided in Section 4.01 hereof may be subjected by the Borrower (or any Lessee) to a pooling arrangement of the type which is permitted for Engines by paragraph 3.03(a); provided that the part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or Engine in accordance with Section 4.01 as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part.  In addition, the Borrower (or any Lessee) may use temporary parts or pooled parts on the Aircraft as temporary replacements for Parts, provided that the Borrower (or any Lessee) as promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable, either (1) causes such pooled or temporary replacement part to become subject to the Lien of this Security Agreement free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens or (2) replaces such replacement part with a further replacement part owned by the Borrower (or any Lessee) which meets the requirements of Section 4.01 and which shall become subject to the Lien of this Security Agreement, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens.

Section 4.03         Alterations, Modifications and Additions.  The Borrower will make (or cause to be made) such alterations, modifications and additions (each, a “Mandatory Modification”) to the Airframe and Engines as may be required to meet the applicable standards of the FAA and any other regulatory agency or body of the jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may be registered except when (i) the Aircraft is being temporarily stored and is not operational, or (ii) the requirement to make such Mandatory Modification is  being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings so long as such proceedings do not materially adversely affect the Security Agent or its interest in the Aircraft.  In addition, the Borrower, at its own expense may from time to time make (or permit a Lessee to make) such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine (each, an “Optional Modification”) as the Borrower may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including removal of Parts which the Borrower (or Lessee) deems to be obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on the Airframe or such Engine (“Obsolete Parts”); provided that no such alteration, modification, removal or addition impairs the condition or airworthiness of the Airframe or such Engine, or materially diminishes the value, utility and remaining useful life of the Airframe or such Engine below the value, utility or remaining useful life thereof immediately prior to such Optional Modification (assuming the Airframe or such Engine was in the condition required by this Security Agreement immediately prior to such Optional Modification).  All parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or an Engine as the result of such alteration, modification or addition (except those parts which the Borrower has leased from others and Parts which may be removed by the Borrower pursuant to the next sentence) (the “Additional Part” or “Additional Parts”) shall, without further act, become subject to the Lien of this Security Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower (or Lessee) may remove any Additional Part, provided that such Additional Part (i) is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of or substitution for any such Part, (ii) is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or any Engine pursuant to the terms of Article III hereof or the first sentence of this Section 4.03, and (iii) can be removed from the Airframe or such Engine without impairing the airworthiness of the Airframe or such Engine or materially diminishing the value, utility and remaining useful life of the Airframe or such Engine required to be maintained pursuant to this Security Agreement which the Airframe or such Engine would have had at such time had such removal not occurred and such Additional Part had not been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine.  Upon the removal by the Borrower or a Lessee of any Removable Part or Obsolete Part as provided above, such Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder and shall be free and clear of the Lien of this Security Agreement.

18




Section 4.04         Improvements Owned by Others.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Security Agreement, the Borrower may install, have installed or permit to be installed in the Aircraft audio-visual, entertainment, telephonic or other equipment owned by third parties and leased or otherwise furnished to the Borrower in the ordinary course of business, provided that such equipment meets all requirements for removal of Additional Parts as specified in Section 4.03, and the Lien of this Security Agreement shall not attach thereto and the rights of the owners therein shall not constitute a default under the Transaction Documents.

Section 5.03         Application of Payments.  Any payments (other than insurance proceeds in respect of damage or loss not constituting an Event of Loss, the application of which is provided for in Article VI or any insurance proceeds in excess of the Secured Obligations) received at any time by the Borrower or the Security Agent from any governmental authority or other Person with respect to an Event of Loss will be applied as follows:

1.             If payments are received with respect to the Airframe (or the Airframe or any Engines or engines then installed thereon), after reimbursement of the Security Agent and the Lenders for reasonable costs and expenses, so much of such payments up to the amount required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.01 shall be paid to the Security Agent and applied in reduction of the Borrower’s obligation to pay such amounts, if not already paid by the Borrower, or, if already paid by the Borrower, shall be applied to reimburse the Borrower for its payment of such amounts, and following the foregoing application, the balance, if any, of such payments shall be paid to the Borrower; and

2.             If such payments are received with respect to an Engine under circumstances contemplated by Section 5.02 hereof, so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Security Agent for reasonable costs and expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Borrower, provided that the Borrower shall have fully performed, or will perform, the terms of Section 5.02(c) with respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.

Section 5.04         Requisition for Use of the Aircraft by the United States Government or the Government of Registry of the Aircraft.  In the event of the requisition for use of the Airframe, the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe by the government of the United States of America or any other government of registry of the Aircraft or any instrumentality or agency of any thereof or a CRAF activation, in either case not constituting an Event of Loss, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Security Agent of such requisition or activation, and all of the Borrower’s obligations under this Security Agreement with respect to the Aircraft shall continue to the same extent as if such requisition or activation had not occurred except to the extent that the performance or observance of any obligation by the Borrower shall have been prevented or delayed by such requisition (it being understood that the foregoing exception shall not diminish the Borrower’s obligations once any such requisitioned Airframe or Engine has been returned to the Borrower).  All payments received by the Security Agent or the Borrower from such government for the use of such Airframe and Engines or engines shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Borrower.  No such requisition shall result in any reduction of any payments or interest on the Notes due to the Lenders under the Transaction Documents.

Section 5.05         Application of Payments During Existence of Potential Defaults or Events of Default.  Any amount referred to in this Article V which is payable to or retainable by the Borrower shall not be paid to or retained by the Borrower if at the time of such payment or retention a Potential Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be held by or paid over to the Security Agent as security for the obligations of the Borrower (or such Lessee) under this Security Agreement and, if the Security Agent declares this Security Agreement to be in default pursuant to Article IX hereof, applied against the Borrower’s obligations hereunder as and when due.  At such time as there shall not be continuing any such Potential Default or Event of Default, such amount shall be paid to the Borrower to the extent not previously applied in accordance with the preceding sentence.

ARTICLE VI

INSURANCE

Section 6.01         Borrower’s Obligation to Insure.  Borrower shall comply with, or cause to be complied with, each of the provisions of Annex A, which provisions are hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth in full herein.

Section 6.02         Insurance for Own Account.  Nothing in this Article VI shall limit or prohibit (a) Borrower from maintaining the policies of insurance required under this Article VI with higher limits than those specified in this Article VI or other insurance for its own account or (b) Security Agent or any Lender from obtaining insurance for its own account (and any proceeds payable under such separate insurance shall be payable as provided in the policy relating thereto); provided, however, that no insurance may be obtained or maintained that would limit or otherwise adversely affect the coverage of any insurance required to be obtained or maintained by Borrower pursuant to this Article VI, it being understood that all salvage rights to the Airframe or Engines shall remain with the Borrower’s insurers at all times.

Section 6.03         Application of Insurance Proceeds. (a)  All insurance payments received from policies maintained by the Borrower as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or the Engines (whether or not installed thereon) shall be paid to the Security Agent in an amount equal to the Agreed Value, in the case of an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe, or an amount equal to the amount specified with respect to each Engine in Annex A hereto, in the case of an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine.  The Security Agent and the Borrower shall proceed diligently and cooperate fully with each other in the recovery of any and all proceeds of insurance applicable thereto.

(b)           All insurance payments resulting from any property damage loss to the Airframe or any Engine or any Part thereof not constituting an Event of Loss with respect thereto (or constituting an Event of Loss solely with respect to an Engine) will be paid to the Security Agent (unless such proceeds do not exceed the Threshold Amount, in which case they will be paid to Borrower) and applied in payment for repairs or for replacement property, if not already paid for by Borrower (or to reimburse Borrower for such repairs or replacements already paid for by Borrower), and any balance remaining with respect to such loss shall be paid to Borrower or as otherwise may be directed by Borrower, provided that any amount which is payable to Borrower under this Section 6.03(b) shall not be paid to Borrower if at the time of such payment a Potential Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be applied pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof.

Section 6.04         Indemnification by Government in Lieu of Insurance.  Notwithstanding any provisions of this Article VI requiring insurance, the Security Agent agrees to accept, in lieu of insurance against any risk with respect to the Aircraft, indemnification from, or insurance provided by, the government of the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof the obligations of which are supported by the full faith and credit of the government of the United States of America, against such risk in an amount which, when added to the amount of insurance against such risk maintained by the Borrower (or any Lessee) shall be at least equal to the amount of insurance against such risk otherwise required by this Article VI (taking into account self insurance permitted by Annex A).  The Borrower shall furnish to the Security Agent and to the Lenders, in advance of attachment of such indemnity or insurance, a certificate of a responsible financial or legal officer of the Borrower confirming in reasonable detail the amount and scope of such indemnification or insurance and that such indemnification or insurance complies with the preceding sentence.

22




Section 6.05         Application of Payments During Existence of a Potential Default or an Event of Default.  Any amount referred to in this Article VI which is payable to or retainable by or to be held for the benefit of the Borrower (or any Lessee) shall not be paid to or retained by or held for the benefit of the Borrower (or any Lessee) if at the time of such payment or retention a Potential Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be held by or paid over to the Security Agent, as security for the obligations of the Borrower under this Security Agreement and, if the Security Agent shall have declared this Security Agreement to be in default, applied against the Borrower’s obligations hereunder as and when due.  At such time as there shall not be continuing any such Potential Default or Event of Default, such amount shall be paid to the Borrower to the extent not previously applied in accordance with the preceding sentence.

ARTICLE VII

OTHER COVENANTS OF BORROWER

Section 7.01         Liens.  The Borrower will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to the Aircraft, Airframe or Engines, Borrower’s title thereto or any of Borrower’s interest therein except (i) the rights of the Borrower as herein provided (including any Lease permitted pursuant to Section 3.03(g)), the Lien hereof and any other rights existing pursuant to the Transaction Documents, (ii) Liens for Taxes of the Borrower (or any Lessee) either not yet due or being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, so long as the continuing existence of such Liens during such proceedings do not involve any material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Airframe or any Engine or any interest therein, (iii) mechanics’, suppliers’, workers’, repairers’, airport operators’, air traffic control authorities’, employees’ or other like Liens arising in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s or any Lessee’s business for amounts that are not overdue or are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, so long as there is not, or the continuing existence of such Liens during such proceedings do not involve, any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Airframe or any Engine or any interest therein, (iv) Liens arising out of any judgment or award against the Borrower (or any Lessee) so long as within 30 days after entry thereof a stay of execution shall have been entered or such Lien shall have been discharged or vacated, so long as such Liens do not result in a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Airframe or any Engine or any interest therein, (v) the rights of others under agreements or arrangements to the extent expressly permitted by the terms of Sections 3.03 or Article IV hereof, (vi) salvage or similar rights of insurers under policies required to be maintained by the Borrower (or Lessee) under Article VI hereof and (vii) any other Lien with respect to which the Borrower (or any Lessee) shall have provided a bond or other security in an amount and under terms reasonably satisfactory to the Security Agent (Liens described in clauses (i) through (vii) being defined as “Permitted Liens”).  The Borrower will promptly, at its own expense, take (or cause to be taken) such actions as may be necessary duly to discharge any Lien not a Permitted Lien if the same shall arise at any time.

23




Section 7.02         Inspection.  At all reasonable times while there are Notes outstanding, the Security Agent, or its authorized representatives, may inspect the Aircraft (but in no event more often than once yearly if a Potential Default or Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing) and FAA (or other applicable governmental authority of the country of registry) required records of the Borrower (or any Lessee) relating to the maintenance of the Aircraft (at the inspecting party’s expense (other than in the case of an inspection occurring while a Potential Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case the Borrower shall bear the reasonable cost of such inspection)) and shall keep any information obtained thereby confidential as provided in Section 9.9 of the Loan Agreement.  Any such inspection of the Aircraft shall be upon not less than three (3) Business Days advance notice from such inspecting party to the Borrower, shall be during normal business hours and shall be limited to a visual, walk-around inspection (including on-board inspection), but shall not include opening any panels, bays or the like without the express written consent of the Borrower; provided that, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no exercise of such inspection right shall interfere in any material respect with the normal operation or maintenance of the Aircraft by, or the business of, the Borrower (or any Lessee).  Upon the written request of any Lender, Borrower will give, and will use reasonable efforts to cause any Lessee to give, such Lender notice of the next scheduled “C” check or other heavy maintenance visit with respect to the Aircraft or any Engine and afford such Person an opportunity to be present at the same without interfering (so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) in any material respect with the maintenance, operations or business of the Borrower or such Lessee.  Borrower shall furnish to the Security Agent such additional information concerning the location, condition, use and operation of the Aircraft as the Security Agent may reasonably request.  Neither the Security Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to make any such inspection nor shall any such Person incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making any such inspection.

Section 7.03         Amendments, Supplements, Etc.  Forthwith upon the execution and delivery of each Security Agreement supplement from time to time required by the terms hereof and upon the execution and delivery of any amendment to this Security Agreement, the Borrower at its own expense will cause such Security Agreement supplement or amendment to be duly filed for recordation, in accordance with the applicable laws of the government of registry of the Aircraft.  In addition, the Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver to the Security Agent such further documents and take such further action as the Security Agent may from time to time reasonably request in order to more effectively carry out the intent and purpose of this Security Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to establish and protect the rights and remedies created or intended to be created in favor of the Security Agent hereunder and to maintain the perfection of the Lien created by this Security Agreement, including, without limitation, if reasonably requested by the Security Agent, at the expense of Borrower, (x) upon preparation and execution by the appropriate party, the filing of all UCC financing and continuation statements and all similar notices required by applicable law at all times to be kept, filed and recorded in such manner and in such places as the Security Agent may reasonably request and (y) the registration or consents to registrations, with the International Registry of international interests granted for the benefit of Security Agent under this Security Agreement and any amendment or supplement hereto.

ARTICLE IX

REMEDIES

Section 9.01         General; Acceleration.  (a)  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and so long as the same shall be continuing unremedied, then and in every such case, the Security Agent may exercise any or all of the rights and powers and pursue any and all of the remedies pursuant to this Article IX; shall have and may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code; and may exercise remedies available under the Cape Town Convention.

(b)           If an Event of Default referred to in Section 7.1(e) or (f) of the Loan Agreement shall have occurred, then and in every such case the unpaid principal of all Notes then outstanding, together with interest accrued but unpaid thereon, and all other amounts due to the holders of the Notes thereunder and hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, shall, unless the Security Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders shall otherwise direct, immediately and without further act become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived.

(c)           If any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case, the Security Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders,  may at any time, by written notice or notices to the Borrower, declare all the Notes to be due and payable, whereupon the unpaid principal of all Notes then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other amounts due to the holders of the Notes thereunder, hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, shall immediately and without further act become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice, all of which are hereby waived.

(d)           If the principal of the Notes shall have become due and payable pursuant to this Section 9.01, there shall also become due and payable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to each holder of a Note upon demand, without presentment, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived, any LIBOR Breakage Costs payable in connection therewith.

(e)           Subject to the consent of the Required Lenders, each Lender shall be entitled, at any sale pursuant to this Article IX, to credit against any purchase price bid at such sale by such Lender all or any part of the unpaid obligations owing to such Lender and secured by the Lien of this Security Agreement.  The Security Agent and the Lenders shall, upon any such purchase, acquire good title to the property so purchased, to the extent permitted by applicable law, free of all rights of redemption.

25




(f)            In addition, the Borrower shall be liable, except as otherwise provided herein and without duplication of amounts payable hereunder, for any and all reasonable and actual legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by the Security Agent and the Lenders (acting under common counsel) in connection with the enforcement of any of their respective rights and remedies hereunder.

Section 9.02         Repossession and Sale.  At any time during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Security Agent, in addition to any rights it might otherwise have at law, may do either or both of the following:  (a)  upon the written demand of the Security Agent and at the Borrower’s expense, cause the Borrower to return promptly, and the Borrower shall return promptly, all or any part of the Aircraft as the Security Agent may so demand, to the Security Agent at a major airport on the Borrower’s route system in one of the forty eight (48) contiguous states of the United States of America chosen by the Security Agent, or, alternatively, the Security Agent, at its option, may enter upon the premises where all or any part of the Aircraft is located and take immediate possession of and remove the same by summary proceedings or otherwise (and, at the Security Agent’s option, store the same at the Borrower’s premises until disposal thereof by the Security Agent), all without liability accruing to the Security Agent for or by reason of such entry or taking of possession or removal other than for restoration of property damaged by such taking of possession or removal, unless the Borrower does not cooperate in releasing the Aircraft; provided that during any period the Aircraft is activated under CRAF in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03 hereof and in the possession of the government of the United States of America or an instrumentality or agency thereof, the Security Agent shall not, on account of any Event of Default, be entitled to do any of the following in such manner as to limit the Borrower’s control under this Security Agreement (or any Lessee’s control under any Lease) of the Airframe or any Engine installed thereon, unless at least sixty (60) days’ (or such lesser period as may then be applicable under the Military Airlift Command program of the government of the United States of America) prior written notice of default hereunder shall have been given by the Security Agent by registered or certified mail to the Borrower (and any Lessee) with a copy addressed to the Contracting Office Representative for the Military Airlift Command of the United States Air Force under the contract with the Borrower (or any Lessee) relating to the Aircraft; or (b) with or without taking possession thereof, sell all or any part of the Aircraft at public or private sale, as the Security Agent may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate or lease to others, as the Security Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine, all free and clear of any rights of the Borrower, except as hereinafter set forth in this Article IX.

At any sale of the Aircraft or any part thereof pursuant to this Article IX, the Security Agent and, subject to Section 9.01(e), any Lender, may bid for and purchase such property.  The Security Agent agrees to give the Borrower commercially reasonable notice of the date fixed for any public sale of the Airframe or any Engine or of the date on or after which will occur the execution of any contract providing for any private sale (together with details thereof).  Except as otherwise expressly provided above, no remedy referred to in this Article IX is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to the Security Agent at law or in equity; and the exercise or beginning of exercise by the Security Agent of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Security Agent of any or all of such other remedies.  No express or implied waiver by the Security Agent of any Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Event of Default.

 

26




Section 9.03 Taking of Aircraft.  (a)  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Notes have been accelerated pursuant to Section 9.01(b) or 9.01(c) hereof, at the request of the Security Agent the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the Security Agent such instruments of title and other documents as the Security Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enable the Security Agent or an agent or representative designated by the Security Agent, at such time or times and place or places as the Security Agent may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Estate to which the Security Agent shall at the time be entitled hereunder.  If the Borrower shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by the Security Agent, the Security Agent may (i) obtain a judgment conferring on the Security Agent the right to immediate possession and requiring the Borrower to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to the Security Agent, to the entry of which judgment the Borrower hereby specifically consents, and (ii) pursue all or part of the Estate wherever such Estate may be found and may enter any of the premises of the Borrower wherever it may be or be supposed to be and search for and take possession of and remove the same.  All reasonable expenses of obtaining such judgment or of pursuing, searching for and taking such property shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Security Agreement.

(b)           Upon every such taking of possession, the Security Agent may, from time to time, at the expense of the Estate, make all such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Estate, as it may reasonably deem proper.  In each such case, the Security Agent shall have the right to maintain, use, operate, store, lease, control or manage the Estate and to carry on the business and to exercise all rights and powers of the Borrower relating to the Estate, as the Security Agent shall reasonably deem best, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, insurance, use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Estate or any part thereof as the Security Agent may reasonably determine; and the Security Agent shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits of the Estate and every part thereof.  Such tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of the use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Estate and of conducting the business thereof, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments which the Security Agent may be required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance or other proper and reasonable charges upon the Estate or any part thereof (including the employment of engineers and accountants to examine, inspect and make reports upon the properties and books and records of the Borrower), and all other payments which the Security Agent may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Security Agent, and of all persons properly engaged and employed by the Security Agent.

(c)           In connection with any sale or other disposition of the Aircraft or any other part of the Estate, the Security Agent may disclaim or modify any or all of the warranties specified in Section 9-610 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction at any relevant time, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably acknowledges that such waiver or modification is commercially reasonable.  The Borrower shall be entitled to furnish to any Person to which the Aircraft or other part of the Estate is sold or disposed any such warranty so disclaimed or modified as part of any such sale or disposition.

27




Section 9.04 Discontinuance of Proceedings.  In case the Security Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Security Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Security Agent, then and in every such case, the Security Agent and the Borrower shall, subject to any determination in such proceedings, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Estate, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Security Agent shall continue as if no such proceedings had been instituted.

Section 9.05 Waiver of Past Defaults.  Upon written instructions from the Required Lenders, the Security Agent shall waive any past or continuing Event of Default hereunder and its consequences and upon any such waiver such Event of Default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Security Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided, however, that in the absence of written instructions from all Lenders, the Security Agent shall not waive any Event of Default (i) arising from the Borrower’s failure to pay the principal of, or interest on, or other amounts due under, any Note then outstanding, or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under the proviso to the first sentence of Section 9.1 to the Loan Agreement, cannot be waived without the consent of each Lender.

Section 9.06 Remedies Cumulative.  Each and every right, power and remedy given to the Security Agent specifically or otherwise in this Security Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Security Agent, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy.  No delay or omission by the Security Agent in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of the Borrower or to be an acquiescence therein.

Section 9.07 Payment After Event of Default, etc.  All payments received and amounts held or realized by the Security Agent after an Event of Default shall have occurred and so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, or after the Security Agent shall foreclose or enforce this Security Agreement, or after the Notes shall have become due and payable as provided in Section 9.01(b) or (c), as well as all payments or amounts then held by the Security Agent as part of the Estate, shall be promptly distributed by the Security Agent in the following order of priority:

first, so much of such payments or amounts as shall be required to reimburse the Security Agent for any tax, expense, charge or other loss (including, without limitation, all amounts to be expended at the expense of, or charged upon the tolls, rents, revenues,

28




issues, income, products and profits of, the property included in the Estate pursuant to Section 9.03(b)) incurred by the Security Agent hereunder (to the extent not previously reimbursed) (including, without limitation, the reasonable expenses of any sale, taking or other proceeding, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs, and any other reasonable expenditures incurred or expenditures or advances made by the Security Agent in the protection, exercise or enforcement of any right, power or remedy or any damages sustained by the Security Agent, liquidated or otherwise, upon such Event of Default) shall be applied by the Security Agent in reimbursement of such expenses;

second, so much of such payments or amounts remaining as shall be required to reimburse the Lenders in full for payments made pursuant to Section 10.03 (to the extent not previously reimbursed) of this Security Agreement shall be distributed to the Lenders, and if the aggregate amount remaining shall be insufficient to reimburse all such payments in full, it shall be distributed ratably, without priority of any Note over any other, in the proportion that the aggregate amount of the unreimbursed payments made by each such Lender pursuant to Section 10.03 of this Security Agreement bears to the aggregate amount of the unreimbursed payments made by all Lenders pursuant to Section 10.03 of this Security Agreement;

third, so much of such payments or amounts remaining as shall be required to pay in full to the Lenders all other amounts payable pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the Loan Agreement or pursuant to any other provision of any Transaction Document and secured hereunder (other than amounts payable pursuant to clause “second” or “fourth” of this Section 9.07) to the Lenders and remaining unpaid, including LIBOR Breakage Costs, shall be distributed to the Lenders, and if the aggregate amount remaining shall be insufficient to pay all such amounts in full, it shall be distributed ratably, without priority of any Note over any other, in the proportion that the aggregate amount due each Lender under this clause “third” bears to the aggregate amount due all Lenders under this clause “third”;

fourth, so much of such payments or amounts remaining as shall be required to pay in full all accrued but unpaid interest to the date of distribution on the Notes, and thereafter the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes, shall be distributed to the Lenders, and if the aggregate amount remaining shall be insufficient to pay all such amounts in full, it shall be distributed ratably, without priority of any one Note over any other, in the proportion that the principal amount of and all accrued but unpaid interest to the date of distribution on, each Note bears to the aggregate principal amount of and all accrued but unpaid interest to the date of distribution on all Notes;

ARTICLE X

DUTIES OF THE SECURITY AGENT

Section 10.01 Notice of Event of Default.  (a)  In the event the Security Agent shall have Actual Knowledge of an Event of Default or of a Potential Default arising from a failure to pay principal or interest, the Security Agent shall forthwith give facsimile notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders (promptly confirmed by mail to such Persons).  Subject to the terms of Sections 9.04 and 10.03, the Security Agent shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Event of Default (including with respect to the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder) as the Security Agent shall be instructed in writing by the Required Lenders.  Subject to the provisions of Section 10.03, if the Security Agent shall not have received instructions as above provided within 20 calendar days after giving notice of such Event of Default to the Lenders, the Security Agent may, subject to instructions thereafter received pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 10.01, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, but shall be under no duty to take or refrain from taking any action, with respect to any such Event of Default as it shall determine advisable in the best interests of the Lenders and shall use the same degree of care and skill in connection therewith as a prudent person would use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs; provided that the Security Agent may not sell the Airframe or any Engine without the consent of the Required  Lenders.  In the event the Security Agent shall at any time commence to foreclose or otherwise enforce this Security Agreement, the Security Agent shall forthwith notify the Lenders and the Borrower.  For all purposes of this Security Agreement, in the absence of Actual Knowledge on its part, the Security Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Potential Default, or any Event of Default unless notified in writing by the Borrower or one or more Lenders.  This Section 10.01, however, is subject to the condition that, if at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have become due and payable pursuant to Article IX and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the money so due, or any thereof, shall be entered, all overdue payments of interest upon the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Notes (except the principal of the Notes which by such declaration shall have become payable) shall have been duly paid, and every other Potential Default and Event of Default with respect to any covenant or provision of this Security Agreement shall have been cured, then and in every such

30




case the Required Lenders may (but shall not be obligated to), by written instrument filed with the Security Agent, rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences; but no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Potential Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(b)           Other Notices.  The Security Agent will furnish to each Lender promptly upon receipt thereof, duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests, demands, certificates, financial statements and other instruments furnished to the Security Agent under any Transaction Document to the extent the same shall not have been otherwise directly distributed to the Lenders pursuant to the express provision of any other Transaction Document.
