(i) The Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) the Owner agrees (i) to authorize and issue the sale of senior secured notes to the Senior Purchasers and (ii) to borrow junior secured loans from the Junior Loan Participants, which loans will be evidenced by junior secured notes (such senior secured notes and junior secured notes being collectively referred to as the “Notes”), such Notes to be issued (A) in two Classes (each a “Class”), “Senior Notes” and “Junior Notes”, with such Senior Notes to be issued in two Tranches, “Tranche A-1 Senior Notes” and “Tranche A-2 Senior Notes”, and up to (B) in two separate series (each, a “Series”) as relate to each Designated Aircraft and (ii) each Senior Purchaser severally agrees to purchase Senior Notes and each Junior Loan Participant agrees to lend a secured junior loan to be evidenced by Junior Notes, in each case, of the applicable Series, Class and Tranche in respect of each Designated Aircraft on a date to be designated for such Aircraft pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) hereof, but in no event later than the Commitment Termination Date, as provided in clause (iii) below. The Senior Class of Notes are to be issued to the Senior Purchasers in an aggregate principal amount of $66,000,000, not to exceed $33,000,000 per Designated Aircraft (the “Senior Notes”). The Tranche A-1

Senior Notes of any Series are to be issued to the Senior Purchasers in an aggregate principal amount of $33,000,000 and the Tranche A-2 Senior Notes of any Series are to be issued to the Senior Purchasers in an aggregate principal amount of Not Applicable; provided that, prior to any Delivery Date, the Senior Agent may elect, by a notice to the parties hereto, to reallocate a portion of the Tranche A-1 Senior Notes of the related Series to the Tranche A-2 Senior Notes of such Series or to reallocate a portion of the Tranche A-2 Senior Notes of the related Series to the Tranche A-1 Senior Notes of such Series, and any such reallocation shall be specified in the related Mortgage Supplement. The Junior Class Notes are to be issued to the Junior Loan Participants in an aggregate principal amount of $14,000,000, not to exceed $7,000,000 per Designated Aircraft (the “Junior Notes”). The aggregate original principal amount of the Notes for all Designated Aircraft shall not exceed $80,000,000 (which amount, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be subject to any appraisal or other test or condition precedent).

(ii) Commitment. Each Financier’s funding obligation in respect of any Class and, if applicable, Tranche shall be its Commitment of the amount thereof (respectively, its “Senior Commitment” and its “Junior Commitment”). Each Financier shall receive, as evidence of the Senior Note and/or Junior Note made by it in respect of any Designated Aircraft, a Note(s) of the applicable Class, Tranche and Series in the amount of such Note.

(iii) Class, Series and Tranche. Notes shall be issued by reference to a particular “Class”, “Series” and “Tranche”. The “Class” of any Note, designated as “Senior” or “Junior”, shall indicate whether such Note is issued in respect of a Senior Note or a Junior Note. The “Tranche” of any Senior Note shall be designated as “Tranche A-1” or “Tranche A-2”. The “Series” of any Note, designated by manufacturer’s serial number of the applicable Designated Aircraft, shall indicate the Designated Aircraft relating to such Note.

Each Note and the related Commitment may be designated as being of the Class and Series of its related Notes.

(iv) Financiers’ Elections. Schedule 1 to Exhibit A hereto sets out the Class of Notes (and Tranche of Senior Notes) of each Series that each Financier has irrevocably elected to receive on behalf of itself and its successors, permitted assigns and permitted transferees. Any Note initially issued to a Senior Purchaser as a Tranche A-1 Senior Note shall be and remain a Tranche A-1 Senior Note, any Note initially issued to a Senior Purchaser as a Tranche A-2 Senior Note shall be and remain a Tranche A-2 Senior Note, and any Note initially issued to a Junior Loan Participant shall be and remain a Junior Note, in each case, regardless of the Holder thereof. A Note, once issued as a particular Class, Tranche and Series, shall only be transferred, assigned and/or reissued as such Class, Tranche and Series, as the case may be, entitling its Holder to the rights, and subjecting such Holder to the obligations, applicable to such Class, Tranche and Series only, as further set forth herein.

(v) Notes. The Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C. On the Delivery Date of each Designated Aircraft, the Owner shall issue Notes in respect of such Aircraft in an aggregate amount equal to the Original Amount constituting (A) the Senior Commitment advanced by the Senior Purchasers for such Aircraft and (B) the Junior Commitment advanced by the Junior Loan Participants for such Aircraft.

(b) Funding Procedures.

(i) Issuance Date. In connection with the financing of any Designated Aircraft hereunder, the Owner agrees to give each Financier, each Agent and the Security Trustee at least (i) in the case of the Senior Financiers, three Business Days’ and (ii) in the case of the Junior Financiers, 10 Business Days’ prior written notice of the anticipated Delivery Date of such Aircraft (for any Designated Aircraft, its “Issuance Date”), which date shall be a Business Day not later than the Commitment Termination Date, and which notice shall be (A) countersigned by the Lessee and in substantially the form of the Notice of Issuance attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Notice of Issuance”) and (B) irrevocable if not revoked within three Business Days of such Issuance Date.

(ii) Account. In order to facilitate the timely closing of the transactions contemplated hereby on any Issuance Date, the Owner, by delivery of the Notice of Issuance to the Financiers and each Agent, irrevocably instructs such Financiers to wire transfer (for receipt by no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time) on such Issuance Date its Commitment by the wiring of immediately available funds (reference: Virgin/NPA 2016-1) to the account of the Security Trustee at the Payment Office (the “Account”).

(iii) Deposit. The funds so paid by each Financier (the “Deposit”) into the Account are to be held by the Security Trustee for account of such Financier. Subject to paragraph (vi) below, upon the satisfaction (as determined by each Financier) or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4(b) hereof in respect of the applicable Designated Aircraft, such Financier (or its special counsel acting on its behalf) shall instruct the Security Trustee to disburse the Deposit for application of its Commitment for such Aircraft as instructed by the Owner.

(iv) Investment of Deposit. If, for any reason, the applicable Designated Aircraft to be financed hereunder on its Issuance Date shall not be so financed on such date, the Deposit, and earnings thereon, will be invested and reinvested by the Security Trustee at the sole direction, for the account, and at the risk of the Lessee in an overnight investment selected by the Lessee and acceptable to the Security Trustee having consulted with the Financiers. Upon the Lessee’s oral (to be confirmed in writing) instructions, earnings on any such investments shall be applied to the Owner’s payment obligations to each Financier under this Section 2(b) or released to the Lessee to the extent of such earnings.

(v) Interest After Issuance Date. If the actual Delivery Date for the applicable Designated Aircraft is a date falling after its Issuance Date, the Owner shall pay interest hereunder to each Financier on the amount of its Commitment transferred to the Security Trustee for each Note as indicated on Schedule 1 to the Notice of Issuance

for the period from and including such Issuance Date to but excluding the earlier of (A) the Delivery Date for such Aircraft or (B) the Cutoff Date (as defined below). For each Financier, such interest shall accrue on the amount of such Financier’s Commitment transferred to the Security Trustee at the Applicable Rate. Interest on the Commitments accrued pursuant to the preceding sentence shall (I) if accrued to the Delivery Date for such Aircraft, be paid on the first Interest Payment Date and (II) if accrued to the Cutoff Date, be due and payable to each Financier within three Business Days of such date.

(vi) Cutoff Date. If for any reason, other than the failure of any Financier to comply with the terms hereof, the Delivery Date for the applicable Designated Aircraft shall not have occurred on or prior to seven Business Days (or such longer period as mutually agreed by the Owner and the Underwriters) after the Issuance Date for such Aircraft (the “Cutoff Date”), the Security Trustee shall return each Financier’s Commitment to it, subject, however, to such Financier’s continuing commitment to fund as provided herein.

(c) Registrations Upon Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and simultaneously with receipt by the Owner of the proceeds of the Notes made in connection with any Designated Aircraft pursuant to this Section 2, the Owner shall authorize (i) the delivery and filing for record at the FAA of the Mortgage and the Mortgage Supplement and the Lease and the Lease Supplement for such Aircraft and (ii) the registration at the International Registry of the Security Trustee’s international interest in the related Airframe and each Engine installed thereon and in the Lease and such Lease Supplement.

(d) Funding Mechanics. On the Delivery Date for the Designated Aircraft specified in the Owner’s notice referred to in Section 2(b)(i) hereof, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Financier, through the Security Trustee, agrees to pay the amount of its Commitment to the Owner by wire transferring such amounts to the account of the Owner as set forth on Schedule I hereto or to such other account as the Owner shall direct the Security Trustee in writing, upon closing.

(e) Closing Location. The closing with respect to the financing of each Aircraft shall take place at the offices of Vedder Price P.C., 1633 Broadway, New York, New York 10019.

Section 3. Note Economics.

(a) Principal Amortization.

(i) Senior Notes. The aggregate principal amount of each Tranche of the Senior Notes of each Series shall amortize in 48 quarterly installments on each Interest Payment Date (the first of which being the first Interest Payment Date following the Delivery Date of the related Designated Aircraft and the last of which shall be the Senior Maturity Date of the Senior Notes of such Series) on a mortgage-style basis (the discount rate shall be 4% per annum) amortizing to the Balloon for such Tranche payable on the 48th such date (being its Maturity Date) as provided in Schedule 3(a)(i) hereto. The Senior Agent shall determine and prepare the amortization schedules for the Senior Notes of each Series and Tranche, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Junior Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the Junior Notes of each Series shall amortize quarterly on each Interest Payment Date (the first of which being the first Interest Payment Date following the Delivery Date of the related Designated Aircraft) as provided in Schedule 3(a)(ii) hereto.

(iii) Amortization Schedules. The aggregate amortization schedules for the Notes of each Series, Class and Tranche shall, based on the foregoing, be appended to the Mortgage Supplement delivered in connection with such Series or Tranche (as applicable).

(b) Senior Interest. (i) The Senior Notes of each Tranche and Series shall bear interest at a fixed rate equal to the Senior Interest Rate for such Series and Tranche.

(d) Interest Generally. Interest on the Notes shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of 12 30-day months.

(e) Past Due Interest. Overdue payments of principal of any Class of Note (and to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue payments of interest and other amounts overdue under the Operative Documents) shall bear interest at the Past Due Rate, payable on demand, for any period during which the same shall be overdue.

(f) PIK Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3(b) or 3(c) above, if interest on any Note is not paid on the date such payment becomes due, such amount shall be converted automatically to principal as of the date such interest fell due unless, at the time of such conversion, a cumulative 18 months of interest on such Note shall have been converted to principal pursuant to this Section 3(f). Interest so converted to principal (“PIK Interest”) shall be treated for all purposes hereof and the Operative Documents as principal, provided that interest shall accrue on the amount of the PIK Interest until paid at the Past Due Rate (and such default interest shall likewise “PIK” as and when it shall become due and payable). PIK Interest shall be payable on demand.

(g) Certain Fees.

(i) Upfront Fees. The Owner agrees to pay to the Security Trustee for account of each Underwriter as and when due the upfront fee specified for such Underwriter in its Fee Letter.

(ii) Commitment Fees. With respect to each Designated Aircraft, the Owner agrees to pay to the Security Trustee for account of each Financier a commitment fee accrued for the period from and including the date hereof to the earlier of (i) the Delivery Date of the second Designated Aircraft and (ii) the Commitment Termination

Date, equal to the Commitment Fee Rate calculated on the average daily amount of such Financier’s unutilized Commitment during the period for which payment of the commitment fee is made (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed), payable quarterly in arrears on each three monthly anniversary dates of the Effective Date and on the date the commitment fee ceases to accrue in accordance with the foregoing. As used herein, “Commitment Fee Rate” means (A) for any Senior Commitment, 0.75% per annum and (B) for any Junior Commitment, 1.00% per annum.

(iii) Agency Fees. The Owner agrees to pay to the Senior Agent an agency fee of $3,000 per year payable annually in advance beginning on and including the date hereof. Such agency fee shall not be refundable.

(h) Prepayments.

(i) Generally. On at least (A) in the case of the Senior Financiers, five Business Days’, and (B) in the case of the Junior Financiers, 15 days’, prior written notice to the Security Trustee, the Owner (acting on instructions of the Lessee) may prepay on the date specified in its notice of prepayment delivered pursuant to paragraph (iv) below in whole, or in part, any or all Notes in respect of any Class or any Series then outstanding at the principal amount thereof (or portion thereof to be repaid), together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment plus all Prepayment Fee (if any) and all other amounts due to the Holders of such Notes hereunder, thereunder and under the other Operative Documents; provided that any partial prepayment of Senior Notes shall be in an aggregate original principal amount of at least $5,000,000 and in $1,000,000 multiples thereafter (or such lesser amount as shall equal the entire outstanding principal amount of such Notes), and the amount thereof shall be specified in such written notice. Any partial prepayment shall be applied ratably among the Senior Notes and the Junior Notes (and, as among the Senior Notes, ratably among the Tranche A-1 Senior Notes and the Tranche A-2 Senior Notes). The Security Trustee will give prompt notice of the Owner’s notice to prepay to the Holders.

(ii) Prepayment upon Event of Loss. On at least five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Security Trustee, the Owner shall prepay, without any Prepayment Fee, on the date specified in its notice of prepayment delivered pursuant to paragraph (iv) below all Notes of the Series issued in respect of an Aircraft in full, but not in part, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment and all other amounts due thereunder and hereunder and under the other Operative Documents to the Holders upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to such Aircraft; such prepayment shall, in any event, be the last day permitted for such payment under Section 9(a) of the Lease; provided that if, pursuant to the terms of the Lease, a Replacement Airframe, together with the same number of Replacement Engines as the Engines, if any, subject to such Event of Loss, shall have been substituted for such Airframe and the Engines, if any, subject to such Event of Loss, then no such prepayment shall be required. The Security Trustee will give notice of prepayment to the Holders under this Section 3(h)(ii) promptly.

(iii) Special Junior Notes Prepayments.

(b) Litigation. The Owner will promptly give each Financier notice of all legal or arbitral proceedings, and of all proceedings by or before any governmental or regulatory authority or agency, and any material development in respect of such legal or other proceedings, involving the Owner or Lessee if, in the case of the Lessee, the determination of those proceedings in a manner adverse to the Lessee would have a material adverse effect on the Lessee’s ability to meet its obligations under the Operative Documents to which it is a party.

(i) Status. Keep in full effect its existence as a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (and shall not change its jurisdiction of formation) and all of its licenses, permits, governmental approvals, rights, privileges and franchises necessary in the normal conduct of its business as now conducted or presently proposed to be conducted.

(iii) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Comply with (A) the provisions of its organization documents, and not amend the same without the prior written consent of the Security Trustee and (B) the requirements of all Applicable Laws to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Owner’s ability to meet its obligations under the Operative Documents to which it is a party.

(i) IR Registrations; IDERA. The Owner shall not consent to any registrations made in respect of the Aircraft on the International Registry except those made pursuant to the Operative Documents. Owner shall not issue any irrevocable deregistration and export request authorization in favor of any Person other than the Security Trustee.

(i) Compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The Owner will comply with all applicable Anti-Corruption Laws, applicable AML Laws and applicable Sanctions.

(ii) Use of Proceeds. The Owner will not issue any Notes, and the Owner shall not use, and shall procure that its subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents shall not use, directly or indirectly, the proceeds of any Notes, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, other Affiliate, joint venture partner or other Person, (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws or AML Laws, (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or involving any goods originating in or with a Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned Country, or (C) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the transactions contemplated hereunder, whether as underwriter, advisor Financier, investor or otherwise).

Section 10. Events of Default. If one or more of the following events (herein called “Events of Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to pay interest on any Note that converts to principal as provided in Section 3(f) hereof shall be deemed not to be a default in payment of interest for the purposes of clause (i) of this Section 10.

(a) Benefits. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns including each successive holder of any Note(s) issued and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the Mortgage whether or not an express assignment to any such holder of rights under the Agreement has been made.

(b) Assignments by Owner. The Owner may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Operative Documents except to the extent expressly provided thereby or with the consent of all of the Financiers and the Lessee.

(c) Assignments by Financiers. The Senior Purchasers may assign their Notes (but not their Commitments) and the Junior Loan Participants may assign their Notes (but not their Commitments) (A) without the prior written consent of the Lessee or the Owner to any Permitted Transferee and (B) with the consent of the Lessee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to any other Person. Any such assignment shall be subject to the following terms:

(i) it shall be effected pursuant to an agreement substantially in the form of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement;

(ii) it shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (in the case of Senior Notes); and $2,000,000 (in the case of Junior Notes); and

(iii) there shall be no more than four Senior Purchasers per Aircraft in the aggregate for the Senior Notes after giving effect to such assignment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no assignment or other transfer hereunder shall (1) other than in the case of an assignment by the Original Junior Loan Participant to Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, require the Owner or the Lessee as a result thereof to pay any greater amount hereunder than the assignor or transferor Financier was entitled to hereunder or (2) other than in the case of an assignment by the Original Junior Loan Participant to Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, otherwise increase the obligations of the Owner or the Lessee under any Operative Document by reference to the laws in effect at the time of the assignment or transfer or (3) in the case of an assignment or transfer of a Junior Commitment or a Junior Note (x) to Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale or (y) by Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale following a Default Event to the Junior Agent or any Affiliate thereof, the minimum amount requirement specified in clause (ii) above shall not be

applicable. Subject to Section 2(a), effective upon the assignment of any Commitment, the assigning Financier shall be relieved of its obligations in respect of such Commitment to the extent the assignee thereof shall have become obligated in respect thereof. Neither the Owner nor the Lessee shall be liable for any costs, fees or expenses in connection with any assignment or transfer of Commitments or Notes, except if a Default Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Owner shall be liable for any associated legal expenses reasonably incurred.

(d) Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Notes. The Security Trustee agrees with the Owner that the Security Trustee shall keep a register (herein sometimes referred to as the “Certificate Register”) in which provision shall be made for the registration of the Notes of each Class and the registration of transfers of the Notes of such Class and Series. Prior to the due presentment for registration of the transfer of any Note, the Owner and the Security Trustee shall deem and treat the person in whose name such Note is registered on the Certificate Register as the absolute owner of such Note, and the Holder for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Note, and for all other purposes whether or not such Note is overdue, and neither the Owner nor the Security Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The Certificate Register shall be kept at the Payment Office of the Security Trustee or at the office of any successor Security Trustee, and the Security Trustee is hereby appointed “Certificate Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 14(c), upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note of any Class and Series at the Payment Office and upon delivery by the Security Trustee to the Owner of such surrendered Note, the Owner shall execute, and the Security Trustee shall deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of a like aggregate principal amount, Class, Tranche and Series. At the option of the Holder, its Notes of any Class and Series may be exchanged for other Notes of such Class and Series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the Payment Office. Each new Note issued upon transfer or exchange shall be in a principal amount of at least (i) $5,000,000 (in the aggregate), in the case of the Senior Notes and (ii) except as provided in Section 14(c) above, $2,000,000 (in the aggregate), in the case of the Junior Notes (except as may be necessary to evidence the entire outstanding principal amount of a Note) and dated the Delivery Date. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Owner shall execute and deliver the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Each Holder may also assign to any assignee an interest in any Note held by it and the Security Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written request of such assignee, accompanied by such proof of such assignment as the Security Trustee may reasonably require, register in the name of such assignee such interest in such Note and thereafter such assignee shall be a Holder for all purposes of the Operative Documents (subject to any limitations in the instrument of assignment). All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Owner evidencing the same respective obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits under this Mortgage, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, shall (if so required by the Security Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Security Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Security Trustee may require evidence satisfactory to it as to the compliance of any such transfer with the Securities Act and the securities laws of any applicable state. The Security Trustee shall make a notation on each new Note or Notes of the

amount of all payments of principal previously made on the old Note or Notes with respect to which such new Note is issued and the date to which interest accrued on such old Note or Notes has been paid and the extent, if any, to which any interest therein has been subject to a registered assignment. The Security Trustee shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any surrendered Notes as above provided during the five calendar day period preceding the due date of any payment on such Notes. Any Holder may transfer any or all of its Notes to any Permitted Transferee subject to the terms of Section 14(c). The Owner and the Security Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name each Note is registered on the Certificate Register as the Holder with respect thereto for all purposes hereof until due presentment for registration of transfer as provided in this Section 14(d). The Security Trustee shall give the Owner and each Holder notice of such transfer of a Note under this Section 14(d).

(e) Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If any Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Owner shall, upon the written request of the affected Holder, execute and deliver in replacement thereof, a new Note of a like Class, Tranche and Series, in the same principal amount, dated the date of such Note and designated as issued under this Mortgage. If the Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Note shall be surrendered to the Security Trustee and the original thereof shall be furnished to the Owner by the Security Trustee. If the Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the affected Holder shall furnish to the Owner and the Security Trustee such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to hold the Owner and the Security Trustee harmless and evidence satisfactory to the Owner and the Security Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof; provided, however, that if the affected Holder is an original party to the Facility Agreement or an Affiliate thereof, the written notice of such destruction, loss or theft and such ownership and the written undertaking of such Holder delivered to the Owner and the Security Trustee to hold harmless the Owner and the Security Trustee in respect of the execution and delivery of such new Note shall be sufficient evidence, security and indemnity.

(f) Payment of Expenses on Transfer. Upon the issuance of a new Note or new Notes pursuant to Section 14(d) or 14(e), the Owner and/or the Security Trustee may require from the party requesting such new Note or Notes payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse the Owner and/or the Security Trustee for, or to provide funds for, the payment of any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith or any charges and expenses connected with such tax or other governmental charge paid or payable by the Owner or the Security Trustee.

Each Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 15(e) and the first sentence of Section 15(f) hereof shall include reference to such Agent and its affiliates and such Agent’s and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents): (i) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Operative Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Operative Document be a trustee for any Financier; (ii) shall not be responsible to the Financiers for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Operative Document, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Operative Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any Note or any other Operative Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by the Owner or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; (iii) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Operative Document; and (iv) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Operative Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Agent may employ agents and attorneys in fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys in fact selected by it in good faith.

(b) Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Operative Document, each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Controlling Creditor or all of the Financiers as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of such Financiers and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Financiers.

(c) Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agents. Unless an Agent shall have been notified by a Financier or the Owner (the “Payor”) prior to the date on which the Payor is to make payment to such Agent of (in the case of a Financier) the proceeds of a Note to be made by it hereunder or (in the case of the Owner) a payment to such Agent for account of one or more of the Financiers hereunder (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to such Agent, such Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient(s) on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to such Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to such Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by such Agent until the date such Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day and, if such recipient(s) shall fail promptly to make such payment, such Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, from the Payor, together with interest as aforesaid.

(d) Defaults. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default (other than the non-payment of principal of or interest on Notes) unless such Agent has received notice from a Financier or the Owner specifying such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that such Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Financiers (and shall give each Financier prompt notice of each such non-payment). Each Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be directed by the Controlling Creditor, provided that, unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Financiers except to the extent that the Mortgage expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of the Controlling Creditor or all of the Financiers.

(e) Indemnification. The Senior Purchasers agree to indemnify the Senior Agent ratably in accordance with their respective Senior Notes (or, prior to the issuance of the Senior Notes, their respective Senior Commitments), and the Junior Loan Participants agree to indemnify the Junior Agent ratably in accordance with their respective Junior Notes (or, prior to the issuance of the Junior Notes, their respective Junior Commitments), in each case for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent (including by any Financier) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Operative Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Financier shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent.

(f) Non Reliance on Agents and Other Financiers. Each Financier agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on either Agent or any other Financier, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Owner and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Operative Documents to which it is or is to be a party and that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Financier, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Neither Agent shall be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Owner of this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Owner. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Financiers by such Agent hereunder, neither Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Financier with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of Owner (or any of its affiliates) that may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its affiliates.

(g) Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of an Agent hereunder and under the other Operative Documents, such Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Financiers of their indemnification obligations under Section 15(e) hereof against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

(h) Resignation or Removal of Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Financiers and the Owner. Upon any such resignation of the Senior Agent, the Majority Senior Holders shall have the right to appoint a successor Senior Agent which shall be, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, reasonably acceptable to the Lessee, and upon any such resignation of the Junior Agent, the Majority Junior Holders shall have the right to appoint a successor Junior Agent which shall be, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, reasonably acceptable to the Lessee. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Senior Holders or the Majority Junior Holders, as the case may be, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Financiers, appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 15 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. The Owner consents to any change in the identity of such Agent on the International Registry as a result of the appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to this Section 15(h), and if required by the International Registry to reflect such change, will provide its further consent thereto.

(i) Consents under Operative Documents. Subject to Section 4.01 of the Mortgage, no Agent may, without the prior consent of the Controlling Creditor, consent to any modification, supplement, waiver, amendment or take any other action under any of the Operative Documents, or otherwise grant its consent, approval or waiver of any matter hereunder or under the Mortgage, provided that, without the prior consent of each Financier, such Agent shall not (except as provided herein or in the Operative Documents) release any collateral or otherwise terminate any Lien under any Operative Document providing for collateral security, or agree to additional obligations being secured by such collateral security (unless the Lien for such additional obligations shall be junior to the Lien in favor of the other obligations secured by such Operative Document), except that no such consent shall be required, and such Agent is hereby authorized, to release any Lien covering property which is the subject of a disposition of property permitted hereunder or under any other Document or to which the Controlling Creditor has consented.

(j) The Security Trustee.

(i) Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Financier hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Bank of Utah, and Bank of Utah hereby accepts such appointment, to act as its Security Trustee hereunder and under the other Operative Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Security Trustee by the terms of this Agreement, of the other Operative Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Security Trustee (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 15(j)(v) and the first sentence of Section 15(j)(vi) shall include reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Operative Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Operative Document be a trustee for any Financier; (b) shall not be responsible to the Financiers for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, in any other Operative Document, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement, any other Operative Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any Note, any other Operative Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by the Owner or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; (c) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Operative Document; and (d) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder, under any other Operative Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Security Trustee may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Security Trustee may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the Holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed, together with the consent of the Lessee to such assignment or transfer (to the extent provided in Section 14(c)).

(ii) Reliance by Security Trustee. The Security Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone, telecopy or e-mail) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Security Trustee. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Operative Document, the Security Trustee shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Controlling Creditor or, if provided herein, in accordance with the instructions given by the Controlling Creditor or all of the Financiers as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of such Financiers and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Financiers.

(iii) Defaults. The Security Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default (other than the nonpayment of principal of or interest on Notes) unless the Security Trustee has received notice from a Financier or the Owner specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” In the event that the Security Trustee

receive such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the Security Trustee shall give prompt notice thereof to the Financiers (and shall give each Financier prompt notice of each such nonpayment) and, if such Notice of Default is received from a Financier, to the Owner and the Lessee, provided that the failure to do so shall not affect the obligations of any Obligor under any Operative Document. The Security Trustee shall (subject to Section 15(j)(vi)) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Controlling Creditor, provided that, unless and until the Security Trustee shall have received such directions, the Security Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Financiers except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of the Controlling Creditor, or all of the Financiers.

(iv) Indemnification. The Financiers agree to indemnify the Security Trustee ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Security Trustee (including by any Financier) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Operative Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Financier shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.

(v) Non-Reliance on Other Financiers. Each Financier agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Security Trustee or any other Financier, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Obligors and each of their Subsidiaries and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Security Trustee or any other Financier, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. The Security Trustee shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Obligor of this Agreement, any of the other Operative Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the Properties or books of the Owner or any of its Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Financiers by the Security Trustee hereunder, the Security Trustee shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Financier with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Owner or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of their affiliates) that may come into the possession of the Security Trustee or any of its affiliates.

(vi) Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Security Trustee hereunder and under the other Operative Documents, the Security Trustee shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it

shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Financiers of their indemnification obligations under Section 15(j)(iv) hereof against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

(vii) Resignation or Removal of Security Trustee. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Security Trustee as provided below, (i) the Security Trustee may resign at any time and (ii) the Controlling Creditor may remove the Security Trustee, in each case by giving notice thereof to the Financiers and the Owner. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Controlling Creditor shall have the right to appoint a successor Security Trustee, provided that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such successor Security Trustee is reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee. If no successor Security Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Controlling Creditor and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Security Trustee’s giving of notice of resignation, then, in the case of a resigning Security Trustee, the retiring Security Trustee may, on behalf of the Financiers, appoint a successor Security Trustee, provided that such successor Security Trustee is reasonably satisfactory to the Owner. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Security Trustee hereunder by a successor Security Trustee, such successor Security Trustee shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Security Trustee, and the retiring or removed Security Trustee shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any Security Trustee’s resignation or removal hereunder as Security Trustee, the provisions of this Section 15(j) shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Security Trustee.

(viii) Representations and Warranties of the Security Trustee. The Security Trustee represents and warrants on each Issuance Date as follows:

(1) it is a bank duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Utah, and it has all requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and each other Operative Document to which it is a party or will become a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby;

(2) neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each other Operative Document executed or to be executed by it, the performance of its obligations hereunder or thereunder, nor its consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will conflict with or result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon the Aircraft or any other part of the Collateral under the laws of the State of Utah or federal laws of the United States governing its banking or trust powers not related to the ownership, operation or maintenance of the Aircraft, its memorandum and articles of association or any indenture, charge, debenture, mortgage, deed or other instrument or agreement to which it is a party or by which it may be bound or to which any of its property or assets may be subject;

(3) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each other Operative Document executed or to be executed by it have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of it.

(4) the execution and delivery by it of this Agreement and each other Operative Document executed or to be executed by it and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder do not require any approval or consent of any stockholder, trustee or holder of any of its indebtedness or other obligations, other than such approvals or consents as have heretofore been obtained; and

(c) Separate Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
