| (a) | Upon commencement of the Agreement, Member or Servicer may retain and hold all funds paid to Member by a Card Association on account of Sales Records submitted by Carrier to Servicer or Member as Reserved Funds until the amount |
*****Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
| (U.S. Transactions) | 2 |
| of the Aggregate Protection equals the Required Amount, as determined in accordance with Sections 3 and 8 of this Exposure Protection Schedule. In lieu of retaining Reserved Funds, or in addition to retaining and holding Reserved Funds, Member or Servicer, in its sole discretion, may, based upon the Net Activity report delivered under Section 6.4 of the MTOS or other relevant documentary evidence, demand that Carrier, and Carrier shall upon such demand, remit to Servicer within two (2) Business Days of Servicer’s demand immediately available funds to hold as the Deposit in an amount that when added to amounts (if any) retained and held by or on behalf of Member or Servicer as the Deposit causes the amount of the Aggregate Protection to equal the Required Amount. The Deposit amount shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 of this Exposure Protection Schedule. Member, Servicer or any Secured Party will hold the Deposit as security for the due and punctual payment of and performance by Carrier of the Obligations. |
| (b) | To the extent Carrier has or may at any time acquire any rights in Carrier’s Rights, Carrier grants to each of Servicer, Member, and all other Secured Parties a Lien on the Deposit and all other Carrier’s Rights to secure the payment and performance by Carrier of all Obligations. Each Secured Party shall act as agent for all Secured Parties to the extent that any such Secured Party controls or possesses the Deposit or any collateral hereunder or is named as Secured Party on any filing, registration or recording. Carrier hereby acknowledges that notwithstanding the foregoing grant of a Lien, Reserved Funds represent only a future right to payment owed to Carrier under the Agreement, payment of which is subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and to Carrier’s complete and irrevocable fulfillment of its obligations and duties under the Agreement and do not constitute funds of Carrier. |
| (c) | Carrier further agrees that during the term of the Agreement, Carrier shall not grant, or attempt to grant, to any other Person or suffer to exist in favor of any other Person any Lien or other interest in Carrier’s Rights (if any) unless any such Lien or other interest and the priority thereof are subject to a subordination agreement in favor of Member, Servicer and all other Secured Parties and reasonably satisfactory to Servicer. |
| (d) | Carrier hereby acknowledges that Member and Servicer dispute the existence of any interest of Carrier in any rights to payment from Cardholders or Card Issuers arising out of the Sales Records and further acknowledges that to the extent it may have an interest therein, such interest is subordinate to the interests of the Secured Parties and of any of their respective subrogees. |
| (e) | Carrier will do all acts and things, and will execute, endorse, deliver, file, register or record all instruments, statements, declarations or agreements (including pledges, assignments, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, etc.) reasonably requested by Servicer, in form reasonably satisfactory |
*****Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
| (U.S. Transactions) | 3 |
| to Servicer, to establish, perfect, maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the security interest and hypothec of Secured Parties in all Carrier’s Rights and in all proceeds of the foregoing, as granted by Carrier pursuant to Section 2(b) and 2(d) of this Exposure Protection Schedule. Carrier will pay the reasonable costs and expenses of all filings and recordings, including taxes thereon or fees with respect thereto and all searches reasonably necessary or deemed necessary by Servicer, to establish and determine the validity and the priority of such security granted in favor of Servicer. Carrier hereby irrevocably appoints Servicer (and all persons, officers, employees or agents designated by Servicer), its agent and attorney-in-fact to do all such acts and things contemplated by this paragraph in the name of Carrier. Without limiting the foregoing, Carrier hereby authorizes Servicer to file one or more financing statements or continuation statements in respect hereof, and amendments thereto, relating to any part of the collateral described herein without the signature of Carrier. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of the Agreement or of a financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed in lieu of the original in any or all jurisdictions which accept such reproductions. |
| 3. | Adjustments to Deposit |
| (a) | Servicer will use the Methodology described in Section 8 of this Exposure Protection Schedule (the “Methodology”) to calculate Gross Exposure each Business Day. Carrier acknowledges that Servicer has explained to it and it understands Servicer’s Methodology for determining Gross Exposure and the amount of the Aggregate Protection and hereby agrees to be bound by such Methodology and the determinations made by Servicer as a result thereof, absent manifest error. Among other things, Carrier understands that Gross Exposure includes the value of Travel Costs for goods or services sold to Cardholders who used their Cards to purchase such goods or services with respect to which Carrier has not yet provided such goods or services. Servicer and Carrier may change the Methodology by mutual agreement. |
| (b) | The amount of the Deposit shall be increased or decreased each Business Day, as appropriate, based on the Methodology so that the amount of the Aggregate Protection will at all times equal the Required Amount. Any necessary increases to the Deposit may be made, at Servicer’s sole discretion by Member or Servicer withholding as Reserved Funds an amount up to ***** of amounts otherwise payable to Carrier under Section 6.2 of the MTOS until the amount of the Aggregate Protection is at least equal to the Required Amount, or by federal wire transfer of immediately available funds from Carrier to an account designated by Servicer, on the second (2nd) Business Day after Carrier’s receipt of notice from Servicer that an increase is required and the amount thereof. If the Servicer agrees to permit increases to the amount of the Deposit by wire transfer and the funds required to increase the amount of the Deposit so that the Aggregate Protection is equal to the Required Amount are not transferred to Servicer as |
*****Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
| (U.S. Transactions) | 4 |
| required by this Section 3, Member or Servicer may immediately withhold on a daily basis as Reserved Funds an amount up to ***** of amounts otherwise payable to Carrier under Section 6.2 of the MTOS until the amount of the Aggregate Protection at least equals the Required Amount. Member or Servicer shall remit to Carrier from the Deposit the amount necessary to reduce the amount of the Aggregate Protection to equal the Required Amount on each Business Day in accordance with Section 6.2 of the MTOS. |
| (c) | The amount of the Deposit to be maintained hereunder may be reduced in accordance with Section 9 of this Exposure Protection Schedule pursuant to which Servicer accepts Letter of Credit in lieu of all or a portion of the Deposit so long as the Aggregate Protection equals the Required Amount. |
| (d) | Although Servicer has the right at all times to require that the amount of the Aggregate Protection equal the Required Amount, Servicer may, from time to time, in its sole discretion make remittances to Carrier or release portions of any Letter of Credit such that the Aggregate Protection is less than the Required Amount. The duration of any such reduction is within the sole discretion of Servicer. At any time that the amount of the Aggregate Protection is less than the Required Amount Servicer, in its sole discretion, may again require that the amount of the Aggregate Protection equal the Required Amount. Any required increase may be made as provided in Section 3(b) of this Exposure Protection Schedule as determined by Servicer. Any reductions in the amount of the Aggregate Protection as described in this paragraph shall not be deemed a course of dealing nor give rise to any rights by Carrier in the future to require that the amount of the Aggregate Amount be less than the Required Amount. |
| 4. | Control of Deposit |
Carrier acknowledges that (i) funds remitted to Member or Servicer by Carrier and (ii) funds paid by Card Associations and held by Member, Servicer or any Secured Party as the Deposit may be commingled with other funds of Member, Servicer or such Secured Party, and further acknowledges that all such funds, and any investment of funds shall be in the name and control of Member, Servicer or such Secured Party, and Carrier shall have no interest in any securities, instruments or other contracts or any interest, dividends or other earnings accruing thereon or in connection therewith. It is the understanding of the Parties that, notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, (a) the sole obligation of Member or Servicer with respect to the Deposit shall be the obligation to pay to Carrier amounts equal to the amounts attributable to Travel Costs with respect to which Carrier has provided goods or services net of any Obligations owed Carrier to any Secured Party, (b) such obligation to make payment to Carrier is at all times subject to the terms of the Agreement, and (c) such payment shall only be due and payable upon complete and irrevocable fulfillment by Carrier of all of its obligations and duties under the Agreement.
*****Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
| (U.S. Transactions) | 5 |
| 5. | Investment |
To the extent permitted by applicable law or regulation, all amounts held as the Deposit will be deemed to earn a yield equal to the Applicable Rate. The amount so earned shall be credited to the Deposit.
| 6. | Right of Offset; Recoupment; Application |
At any time that an amount is due Member, Servicer or any other Secured Party from Carrier, and Member, Servicer or such other Secured Party does not obtain payment of such amount due as provided in the Agreement, Member or Servicer (each on behalf of itself and any other Secured Party) shall have the right to apply, recoup or set off any amounts otherwise owed by Member, Servicer or any other Secured Party to Carrier hereunder, including, without limitation, any amounts attributable to the Deposit, to the amount owed by Carrier. Servicer may exercise any such right for its benefit or the benefit of Member or any other Secured Party. Where any application, recoupment or set off requires the conversion of one currency into another, Servicer or Member shall be entitled to effect such conversion in accordance with its prevailing practice and Carrier shall bear all exchange risks, losses, commissions and other bank charges which may thereafter arise.
| 7. | Retention of Deposit After Cessation of Flight Operations |
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, during the period not to exceed ***** months from the earlier of termination of this Agreement or the date upon which Carrier permanently ceases flight operations, Member and Servicer may retain the Deposit and Letters of Credit so that the Aggregate Protection at least equals the Required Amount on each day. As the Required Amount is reduced because Gross Exposure has been reduced in a means acceptable to Servicer, Servicer is obligated to remit sufficient funds from the Deposit and/or return the Letter of Credit to Carrier within two (2) business days of such determination so that the Aggregate Protection does not exceed the Required Amount (except with respect to the Projected Exposure set forth in Section 11). Subject to the foregoing and the eighteen month time frame, Servicer shall continue to hold the Deposit and/or Letters of Credit until Servicer has determined that Carrier has no further Obligations or potential Obligations and Servicer shall be without any obligation to remit funds to Carrier until such time.
| 8. | Methodology |
*****
| 9. | Standby Letter of Credit |
| (a) | The amount of the Aggregate Protection which Servicer or Member may maintain pursuant to this Exposure Protection Schedule shall include the sum of (a) the amount remaining to be drawn upon any valid and outstanding Letter of Credit |
*****Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
| (U.S. Transactions) | 6 |
| and (b) the proceeds of any previous draw on a Letter of Credit held by Servicer or Member and not applied. At such time as the Servicer or Member may no longer draw on the Letters of Credit, Servicer may require that the amount of the Deposit plus proceeds of any draw on the Letters of Credit held by Servicer or Member and not applied equal the Required Amount. |
| (b) | Upon the occurrence of any event that gives rise to Servicer’s right under this Agreement to make demand on Carrier for payment to Servicer or Member of any Obligations and after (i) application of all amounts held as part of the Deposit and (ii) application of all amounts that would otherwise be payable to Carrier from Member or Servicer under the Agreement on such date, if any, then the Servicer, at its option, may draw on any Letter of Credit issued for its benefit with respect to the Agreement to pay such Obligations in an amount that does not exceed the sum of (A) the amount the Servicer has a right to demand that the Carrier pay the Servicer or Member under this Agreement on such date plus (B) the amounts the Servicer reasonably believes it will have a right to demand that the Carrier pay the Servicer or Member as Obligations during the following seven day period. |
| (c) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9 to the contrary, Servicer may draw upon the full amount of a Letter of Credit if sixty (60) days have passed since Servicer delivered written notice to Carrier that the rating of the bank that issued the Letter of Credit has fallen below (A) ***** under the Moody’s Investors Service rating system or (B) ***** under the Standard and Poor’s rating system, or (C) if ratings from either of those services are unavailable, the equivalent rating of any of the foregoing under any similar rating system. |
| (d) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9 to the contrary, Servicer may draw upon the full amount of a Letter of Credit if (i) five (5) Business Days have passed since the rating of the bank that issued the Letter of Credit has fallen below (A) ***** under the Moody’s Investors Service rating system or (B) ***** under the Standard and Poor’s rating system, or (C) if ratings from either of those services are unavailable, the equivalent rating of any of the foregoing under any similar rating system, (ii) an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by or against Carrier or (iii) the Letter of Credit is set to expire within 60 days and Servicer has not received notice of renewal of the Letter of Credit or an replacement letter of credit acceptable as to form and issuer in the sole discretion of Servicer. |
| (e) | Carrier acknowledges that subject to its right to receive payments under this Agreement, it has no interest in any proceeds of any draw on any Letter of Credit issued for the benefit of Servicer or Member and that upon any valid draw on any Letter of Credit, Servicer or Member shall be entitled to hold the proceeds thereof for payment of the Obligations under the Agreement and apply such proceeds in payment thereof as and when Servicer reasonably deems appropriate, subject to |
*****Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
| (U.S. Transactions) | 7 |
| the provisions of Section 7 of this Exposure Protection Schedule. Neither Servicer nor Member shall have any obligation to remit to any Person any excess proceeds of any draw on any Letter of Credit until expiration of the period specified in Section 7 of this Exposure Protection Schedule. In the event of any dispute between Carrier and the issuer of a Letter of Credit or any subrogee thereof, or any other Person with respect to entitlement to any proceeds of a Letter of Credit, Servicer or Member may retain all such proceeds until final resolution of such dispute by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to the right of Servicer or Member to retain and apply proceeds in payment of the Obligations. In the event that Servicer or Member draws on a Letter of Credit and holds the proceeds thereof at a time when Carrier is conducting normal flight operations, Servicer or Member, at its option, may include such proceeds in its calculation of coverage for the Required Amount and remittances to Carrier may be made in accordance with Section 2 of this Exposure Protection Schedule as if the proceeds were part of the Deposit. Carrier further agrees that at Servicer’s option, any excess proceeds of a Letter of Credit, as determined by Servicer in good faith after taking into account all obligations of the Carrier to the Secured Parties, may be remitted to the issuer of a Letter of Credit, or if the issuer has been reimbursed in full for all amounts owed to it on account of the draw on the Letter of Credit, to the account party thereof. |
| 10. | Fare Club Exposure |
| (a) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Letters dated on or about February 10, 2010 or June 13, 2011, the “Fare Club Exposure,” as determined in accordance with this Section 10 shall be added to the calculation of Gross Exposure at all times; provided, however, the amount of the Fare Club Exposure will only be modified as of the last Business Day of each month. |
| (b) | Within 10 days of the end of each month, Carrier shall provide Servicer with a report of its Fare Club membership sales for the preceding month made through the use of a Card (the “Fare Club Sales Report”). |
| (c) | At the conclusion of each six month period, Servicer shall complete a reconciliation between the actual Fare Club Exposure then held and the actual exposure based upon the Fare Club Sales Reports (the “Reconciled Exposure”). The actual exposure for determining the Reconciled Exposure shall be determined by taking the fare club sales for any particular month and reducing such amount by ***** of the original monthly sale amount in each month after such sale until the amount reaches zero, with the first ***** reduction occurring in the month the fare club sale occurs (the “Exposure Reduction Methodology”). Based upon such reconciliation, the amount of Fare Club Exposure will modified to be equal to the Reconciled Exposure. |
*****Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
| (U.S. Transactions) | 8 |
| (d) | During each successive six month period, the Fare Club Exposure will be determined by (i) using the most recent Reconciled Exposure and reducing such amount in each successive month in accordance with the Exposure Reduction Methodology and (ii) adding to the Fare Club Exposure each month an amount equal to the average monthly amount of fare club sales as determined by the most recent six Fare Club Sales Reports, but subtracting from the Fare Club Exposure an amount determined by applying the Exposure Reduction Methodology in succeeding months to the amounts added to the Fare Club Exposure. |
| (e) | Servicer reserves the right to modify the Fare Club Exposure to the extent that Carrier sells fare club memberships with a term longer than one year. Carrier may request that Servicer adjust the calculation of Fare Club Exposure if at any time more the 40% of the fare club memberships then outstanding, when originally sold, were for terms materially shorter than one year. |
| 11. | Deposit Upon Termination of the Agreement. |
In the event that any Party gives notice to the other Party of termination of the Agreement or non-renewal, or in the absence of a notice, the Agreement is terminated or a Party attempts to terminate the Agreement, and at such time the Aggregate Protection maintained is less than 100% of Gross Exposure, Servicer may make a reasonable determination based upon historical information with respect to Carrier of Chargebacks and other obligations of Carrier under the Agreement that may arise or be asserted from and after such date (“Projected Exposure”). If the amount of Projected Exposure plus the then applicable Required Amount exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Protection then held or posted, Servicer may, in its sole discretion, demand that Carrier, and Carrier shall upon such demand, immediately remit to Servicer in immediately available funds for Servicer to hold as part of the Aggregate Protection an amount sufficient to cause the amount of the Aggregate Protection to equal Projected Exposure plus the then applicable Required Amount. Upon failure by Carrier to remit such funds by the close of business on the first Business Day after any such demand is made, Servicer in its sole discretion may withhold as Reserved Funds an amount up to ***** of amounts otherwise payable to Carrier under Section 6.2 of the MTOS until the amount of the Aggregate Protection is at least equal to Projected Exposure plus the then applicable Required Amount. Servicer may retain the Aggregate Protection pursuant to the provisions of Section 7 of this Exposure Protection Schedule, except that during such period (i) the amount of the Aggregate Protection shall equal Projected Exposure plus the then applicable Required Amount and (ii) payments shall be remitted to Carrier on each Business Day in the amount by which the amount of the Aggregate Protection exceeds the sum of the Projected Exposure and the then applicable Required Amount. Upon and after the occurrence of an event that would cause the Required Amount to increase, even if the same shall occur after termination or non-renewal, the amount of the Aggregate Protection shall not be less than the new Required Amount plus the Projected Exposure. The provisions of Section 3 of this Exposure Protection Schedule with respect to increases to the Aggregate Protection shall apply in any such circumstance.
