Debtor represents and warrants that it will maintain in effect at all times, at its own cost and expense, with insurers of recognized responsibility reasonably satisfactory to Lender, all-risk ground and flight aircraft hull insurance covering the Aircraft, including F.O.D. (foreign object damage), fire and explosion coverage, cargo, ingestion and lightning and electrical damage, and comparable insurance with respect to any Engines or Parts while removed from the Aircraft, and with respect to any engines, parts while temporarily installed on the Aircraft, provided that such insurance shall at all times be not less than the greater of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Note or (ii) the amount which would be paid pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss (each such amount determined as of each anniversary of the Closing Date for the next succeeding year throughout the term of this Agreement). Debtor shall, at its own cost and expense, additionally maintain in effect with an insurer of recognized responsibility reasonably satisfactory to Lender, hijacking (air piracy) insurance with respect to the Aircraft in a face amount of not less than the greater of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Note or (ii) the amount which would be paid pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss (each such amount determined as of each anniversary of the Closing Date for the next succeeding year throughout the term of this Agreement), which shall be in full force and effect throughout any geographical areas at any time traversed by the Aircraft. Such insurance shall also include war risk, governmental confiscation and expropriation and related insurance, if and to the extent the same is maintained by Debtor with respect to other aircraft owned or operated by Debtor on the same routes as the Aircraft and Engines or where the custom in the United States airline industry is to carry such insurance with respect to aircraft and engines operated on the same routes as the Aircraft and Engines.
(c) Lender as Additional Insured; Notice. Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Section and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement of any such policies (i) shall be amended to name Lender as the additional insured as its interest may appear, (ii) with respect to insurance carried in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 5.12 covering the Aircraft, shall provide that any amount(s) payable thereunder which exceed $50,000.00 in the aggregate shall be paid directly to Lender and Debtor jointly (and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, such amounts shall be disbursed by Lender and Debtor or other appropriate persons in payment of the costs actually incurred with respect to repairs made to the Aircraft so as to restore it to the operating condition required hereunder, or shall be disbursed by Lender as otherwise required by the Agreement), and that any amount(s) of less than $50,000.00 in the aggregate shall be paid to Debtor (and such amounts shall be applied by Debtor to pay the costs of such repairs), (iii) shall provide that if any insurer cancels such insurance for any reason whatever, or any substantial change is made in any of the coverage required hereunder, or the same it allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium or such insurance coverage is reduced, such cancellation, change, lapse or reduction shall not be effective as to Lender for thirty (30) days following receipt by Lender of written notice by such insurer of such cancellation, change or reduction, and (iv) shall provide that in respect of the
- 13 -
interests of Lender in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of Debtor or any other person (other than Lender) and shall insure Lender's interests, as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation of any warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policies by or binding upon Debtor or any other person (other than Lender). Each insurance policy and its respective cover amount(s) obtained in accordance with the requirements set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.12 shall (i) be primary insurance, not subject to any co-insurance clause and shall be without right of contribution from any other insurance, and (ii) expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured or loss payee, and shall waive any right of such insurer to any setoff, counterclaim or other deduction, by attachment or otherwise, in respect of Lender or Debtor. Debtor shall arrange for appropriate certification as to the satisfaction of the requirements set forth above in this Section 5.12 to be delivered to Lender not later than the Closing Date by each such insurer or underwriter therefor, which certification shall specifically acknowledge that the insurance is in conformity with this Section 5.12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Debtor shall promptly provide Lender with a copy of each policy of insurance required hereunder if it so requests.
(d) Reports, etc. On the Closing Date, Debtor shall furnish (or cause its insurance company to furnish) to Lender a certificate of insurance along with a summary of policy endorsements related to the Aircraft. The Debtor or the insurance company will notify the Lender in writing of any changes in the coverage or the policy endorsements. If the Lender shall so request, the Debtor shall provide the Lender with a copy of the applicable policy. Debtor will advise (or cause the applicable insurance company to advise) Lender in writing promptly of any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of Debtor which might invalidate or render unenforceable by Lender or Debtor, in whole or in part, any insurance on or with respect to the Aircraft Debtor will also advise Lender in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or termination date of any insurance carried and maintained on or with respect to the Aircraft pursuant to this Section. In the event Debtor shall fail to maintain insurance as herein provided, Lender may, at its option, provide such insurance, and Debtor shall, upon demand, reimburse Lender for the cost thereof, together with interest at the Late Charge Rate from the date of payment through the date of reimbursement.
(e) Agreed Value. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, at all times while the Aircraft is subject to this Agreement, the insurance required by Section 5.12 of this Agreement shall be for an amount on an "agreed value" basis not less than the greater of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Note or (ii) the amount which would be paid pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss (each such amount determined as of each anniversary of the Closing Date for the next succeeding year throughout the term of this Agreement).
(f) No Right to Self-Insure. Debtor shall not self-insure (by deductible, premium adjustment, or risk retention arrangement of any kind) the insurance required to be maintained hereunder, except to the extent of deductibles usually and customarily maintained by companies engaged in the same or similar business as Lessee and operating the same or similar aircraft, but in no event shall any deductible exceed $50,000.00 per occurrence.

SECTION 6. SECURITY INTEREST.
6.1 Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of all of the Obligations and in order to induce Lender to enter into this Agreement and make the Loan to Debtor in accordance with the terms hereof and to extend other credit from time to time to Debtor, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, Debtor hereby assigns, conveys, mortgages, pledges, hypothecates and transfers to Lender, and hereby grants to Lender a first security interest in all Debtor's right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral; but none of Debtor's (and/or any other party's of any kind whatsoever) obligations, liabilities and/or duties of any kind whatsoever under, or with respect to the collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary- contained herewith or otherwise, the Lender does not by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise assume any obligations, liabilities and/or duties of any kind whatsoever of the Debtor (and/or of any other party of any kind whatsoever) under, or with respect to, the Collateral and the Lender shall not be responsible in any way whatsoever for the performance by the Debtor (and/or by any other party of any kind whatsoever) in connection with, relating to, or arising under, the Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default or event, which with the passage of time or giving of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default, has occurred (and is continuing), in the event that any replacement or substitution for any Part or Engine is furnished by Debtor and such substitution or replacement Part or Engine is deemed acceptable by Lender, Lender agrees that the Part or Engine which was replaced or substituted for shall be deemed released from the security interest granted hereunder. Lender agrees to accept any such substitute or replacement Part or Engine which, in its reasonable judgment, meets or exceeds the maintenance standards set forth for Parts and Engines set forth in this Agreement and which has a greater or equal value, utility and useful life as the Part or Engine for which it is being substituted or serving as a replacement.
The security interest granted herein shall attach to each item of Collateral at the time that Lender advances any funds to or on behalf of Debtor in complete or partial payment for such Collateral.
6.2 Lender Appointed as Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) After an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender and any other officer of agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor or in its own name, from time to time in Lender's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. Debtor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, pursuant to such appointment, the Lender shall have authority to endorse Debtor's name on any checks, notes, drafts or any other payments or instrument relating to the Collateral which came into the Lender's possession or control.
- 15 -
(b) The powers conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Debtor for any act or failure act.
SECTION 7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
The term "Event of Default", wherever used herein, shall mean any of the following events or circumstances (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary, or come about or be effected by operation of law, or be pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation or any administrative or governmental body):

(c) the Aircraft shall be abused, substantially damaged or destroyed or Lender shall reasonably deem the Aircraft unsafe or at risk or Debtor shall fall to maintain the Aircraft in accordance and in compliance with Section 5.11(c) hereof and Debtor does not commence and diligently pursue to eventual completion, a cure of such failure to maintain the Aircraft within three days of being notified of such default by Lender; or

(e) Debtor shall or shall attempt to (except as expressly permitted by the provisions of this Agreement) remove, sell, transfer, convey, pledge, mortgage, encumber, part

SECTIONS. REMEDIES.
8.1 Termination of Commitment. If an Event of Default specified in subsections 7 (h) or (i) above shall occur, then, and in any such event, the Commitment shall immediately terminate and the principal amount of the Note, together with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts owing under or with respect to this Agreement shall become immediately due and payable without any notice or other action by Lender, and if any other Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, and in any such event, Lender may (a) terminate forthwith the Commitment and/or (b) declare the Note to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the principal amount of the Note, together with accrued interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the Note to the contrary notwithstanding. During the continuance of any Event of Default hereunder, Lender shall have the right to pursue and enforce any of its rights and remedies under Section 8, Subsections 8.2 through 8.4, inclusive, hereof.
8.2 Additional Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender may exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of secured parties under the UCC or under any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Debtor agrees that in any such event, Lender, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Debtor or any other person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker's board or at any of Lender's offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Debtor, which right or equity is hereby expressly released. Debtor further agrees, at Lender's request, to assemble the Collateral, make it available to Lender at places which Lender shall reasonably select, whether at Debtor's premises or elsewhere. Any such sale or sales shall be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale (after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care, safekeeping or otherwise of any or all of the Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of Lender hereunder, including attorney's fees and legal expenses) to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as Lender may elect and only after so applying such net proceeds and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Lender account for the surplus, if any, to Debtor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor waives all claims, damages, and demands
- 18 -
against Lender arising out of the repossession (in accordance with applicable laws), retention or sale of the Collateral. Debtor agrees that Lender need not give more than ten (10) days' notice (which notification shall be deemed given when mailed, postage prepaid, addressed to Debtor at its address set forth in Section 9.2. hereof) of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. Debtor shall be liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is entitled.
8.3 Costs of Collection. Debtor also agrees to pay all costs of Lender, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred with respect to the collection of any of the Obligations and the enforcement of any of its respective rights hereunder.
8.4 Waivers. Debtor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice, except as expressly provided herein, (to the extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.
SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS.
9.1 No Waiver. Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No right or remedy in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive but each shall be cumulative and in addition any other remedy referred to herein or otherwise available to Lender at law or in equity; and the exercise by Lender of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lender of any or all such other remedies. No express or implied waiver by Lender of an Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Event of Default. After the occurrence of any Event of Default that is continuing and remains uncured, the acceptance by Lender of any installment of principal and interest or of any other sum owing hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such Event of Default, regardless of Lender's knowledge or lack of knowledge thereof at the time of acceptance of any such payment, and shall not constitute a reinstatement of the Agreement if Lender has sent Debtor a notice of default, unless the Event of default has been otherwise been cured or unless Lender shall have agreed in writing to reinstate the Agreement and waive the Event of Default.
9.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon any party hereto shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered or when deposited in the United States mail, return receipt requested first class postage prepaid, addressed to such party as follows, or to such other address as may be hereafter designated in writing by such party to the other party hereto:
