2.1 Agreement to Purchase and Sell; Special Purpose
-----------------------------------------------
Purchasers; Initial Utilization and Pro Ration. (a) Subject to the terms and
----------------------------------------------
conditions hereof, the Seller agrees to sell to each Purchaser, and each
Purchaser severally agrees to purchase from the Seller from time to time during
the Revolving Period, undivided interests in Receivables with an Outstanding
Purchase Price at any one time as to such Purchaser not to exceed the amount of
such Purchaser's Commitment. The Outstanding Purchase Price of all Purchased
Receivables (exclusive of the interests of Dissenting Purchasers) at any one
time shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments then in effect. Each purchase
and sale of Receivables shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, take
place on the Closing Date or on any Settlement Date during the Revolving Period.
Each Purchaser's Available Commitment Percentage of the Purchase Price for the
Receivables being purchased on the Closing Date or such Settlement Date shall
not exceed such Purchaser's Available Commitment at such date (calculated before
giving effect to any such purchase). Upon the expiration of the Revolving
Period, the Commitments will be canceled, the Purchasers will have no further
commitment to purchase Receivables hereunder and Collections on the Purchased
Receivables will continue to be applied in respect of the Outstanding Purchase
Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) In consideration of the agreements set forth herein, upon
each purchase of Receivables hereunder, the Seller will sell, assign and
transfer to the Purchasers all of its right, title and interest in and to the
Receivables, the related Contracts (including any Applicable Leases) and
Financed Aircraft.
(c) Except for Three Rivers Funding Corporation, nothing
contained herein shall constitute a commitment by an SPC to make purchases. For
any Purchaser which is an SPC Bank, any purchase to be made by such Purchaser
may from time to time be made by the related SPC in its sole discretion and
nothing herein contained shall constitute a commitment to make purchases by such
SPC; provided that if any SPC elects not to make a purchase, its SPC Bank agrees
--------
it will make such purchase pursuant to the terms hereof. Any purchase by an SPC
shall constitute a utilization of the Commitment of the SPC Bank.
(d) It is expressly agreed that on the Closing Date,
immediately following the purchases and sales provided for above in subsection
2.1(d) of the 1997 Agreement, each Existing Agreement was deemed amended and
restated by the 1997 Agreement.
2.2 Procedures for Making Purchases. The Seller shall give the
-------------------------------
Managing Facility Agent irrevocable notice, which notice must be received by the
Managing Facility Agent prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Reporting Date prior to the Settlement Date (other than a Special Settlement
Date) on which the Seller wishes to sell Eligible Receivables hereunder (or, in
the case of the initial purchase, three Working Days prior to the Closing Date).
Each such notice of a proposed purchase shall specify the date of purchase
(which shall be the Closing Date or the Settlement Date next succeeding such
Reporting Date), the aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price of the Purchased
Receivables prior to such proposed purchase (after giving effect to the
application of Collections on the related Settlement Date), the Principal
Balance and the Purchase Price for each Receivable which the Seller proposes to
sell on the Closing Date or such Settlement Date and any other information which
the Managing Facility
43
Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may require prior to the Closing Date or
such Settlement Date. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Seller, the
Managing Facility Agent shall promptly notify each Purchaser thereof. Prior to
11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each such Settlement Date on which a purchase
has been requested to be made, each Purchaser shall make available to the
Managing Facility Agent, in immediately available funds at the Managing Facility
Agent's office specified in subsection 11.2, the amount of such Purchaser's pro
---
rata share of such aggregate Purchase Price for all Receivables being purchased
----
on such Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
proceeds of such purchase will then be made available (or deemed made available
if subsection 2.15 is applicable) to the Seller by the Managing Facility Agent
crediting the account of the Seller on the books of such office with the
aggregate of the amounts made available to the Managing Facility Agent by the
Purchasers and in like funds as received by the Managing Facility Agent.
2.3 Special Settlement Dates. On each Special Settlement Date,
------------------------
the Seller will be permitted to sell Eligible Receivables to the Purchasers. In
connection with any purchase of Eligible Receivables on any Special Settlement
Date, the Seller shall give the Managing Facility Agent irrevocable notice,
which notice must be received by the Managing Facility Agent prior to 10:00
a.m., New York City time on the day which is one Business Day prior to such
Special Settlement Date. Each such notice, which shall be in the form of Exhibit
H, shall specify (i) the aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price of the Purchased
Receivables prior to such proposed purchase, (ii) the Principal Balance and the
Purchase Price for each Receivable which the Seller proposes to sell on such
Special Settlement Date and (iii) the amount of 90% Repurchase Receivables, 75%
Repurchase Receivables and 25% Repurchase Receivables, respectively, included in
the Receivables which the Seller proposes to sell on such Special Settlement
Date. Upon receipt of any notice from the Seller, the Managing Facility Agent
shall promptly notify each Purchaser thereof. Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, on such Special Settlement Date, each Purchaser shall make available to
the Managing Facility Agent, in immediately available funds at the Managing
Facility Agent's office specified in Section 11.2, the amount of such
Purchaser's pro rata share of the aggregate Purchase Price for all Receivables
--- ----
being purchased on such Special Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the proceeds of such purchase will then be made available to
the Seller by the Managing Facility Agent crediting the account of the Seller on
the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the
Managing Facility Agent by the Purchasers and in like funds as received by
Managing Facility Agent.
2.4 Participated Receivables. (a) In the event that on any
------------------------
Settlement Date the aggregate Available Commitments are less than the aggregate
Purchase Price of Eligible Receivables the Seller proposes to sell on such
Settlement Date, and so long as no Rating Event has occurred and is continuing,
the Purchasers agree, subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, to
purchase an interest in each such Receivable, the Purchase Price of which would
otherwise exceed the amount of the Available Commitments, up to the aggregate
Available Commitments then in effect. The Purchase Price for each such
Receivable shall be deemed to be the Principal Balance able to be purchased
under the Available Commitments; provided that the Available Commitments shall
--------
first be applied to purchase Receivables other than Participated Receivables to
the fullest extent available and next to purchase Participated Receivables. The
portion of each such Receivable not available to be purchased by the Purchasers
shall be an
44
interest of the Seller in such Receivable and shall represent the Seller's
Interest in such Participated Receivable. The Seller's Interest in each
Participated Receivable shall be subordinated and junior to the rights of the
Purchasers in accordance with the terms and conditions of subsection 2.4(b). The
portion of any Participated Receivable representing the Seller's Interest
therein shall be, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
available as a Receivable for purchase by the Purchasers on subsequent
Settlement Dates.
(b) The Seller's Interest in and to each Participated
Receivable shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment and all other
rights to the rights of the Purchasers with respect to such Participated
Receivable, including, but not limited to, the rights of the Purchasers to
receive all Principal Collections and Finance Charge Collections on such
Participated Receivable. Such subordination shall be in effect until the
Principal Balance purchased by the Purchasers of the Participated Receivable,
after application of Principal Collections received on account of such
Participated Receivable, has been reduced to zero and, accordingly, the Seller
shall not (except as provided in subsection 2.16(b)) be entitled to receive any
amounts with respect to a Participated Receivable on account of the Seller's
Interest therein until such time. If the Seller receives any payment on account
of the Seller's Interest in any Participated Receivable prior to the time at
which it is entitled to retain such payment pursuant to this subsection 2.4(b),
the Seller shall hold such payment in trust for the Managing Facility Agent and
the Purchasers and shall immediately deposit such payment into the Concentration
Account.
2.5 Extended Term Receivables. (a) The Purchasers agree,
-------------------------
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date and
any Settlement Date to purchase Extended Term Receivables, up to each
Purchaser's Available Commitment, for a Purchase Price equal to (a) the actual
unpaid Principal Balance of such Receivable on the last day of the Settlement
Period preceding the date of purchase less (b) the aggregate amount of principal
payments scheduled to be made thereon after the Cash Flow Cutoff Date for such
Extended Term Receivable. The portion of each such Receivable not available to
be purchased by the Purchasers shall be an interest of the Seller in such
Receivable and shall represent the Seller's Interest in such Extended Term
Receivable. The Seller's Interest in each Extended Term Receivable shall be
subordinated and junior to the rights of the Purchasers in accordance with the
terms and conditions of subsection 2.5(b). The portion of the actual unpaid
principal balance of any Extended Term Receivable representing the Seller's
Interest therein shall be, subject to the terms and conditions hereof
(including, without limitation, that principal payments scheduled to be made
after the applicable Cash Flow Cutoff Date at any date of determination are not
available for purchase under this Agreement), available for purchase by the
Purchasers on subsequent Settlement Dates.
(b) The Seller's Interest in and to each Extended Term
Receivable shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment and all other
rights to the rights of the Purchasers with respect to such Extended Term
Receivable, including, but not limited to, the rights of the Purchasers to
receive all Principal Collections and Finance Charge Collections on such
Extended Term Receivable. Such subordination shall be in effect until the
Principal Balance purchased by the Purchasers of the Extended Term Receivable,
after application of Principal Collections received on account of such Extended
Term Receivable, has been reduced to zero and, accordingly, the Seller shall not
be entitled to receive any amounts with respect to a Extended Term Receivable on
account of the Seller's Interest therein until such time. If the Seller receives
45
any payment on account of the Seller's Interest in any Extended Term Receivable
prior to the time at which it is entitled to retain such payment pursuant to
this subsection 2.5(b), the Seller shall hold such payment in trust for the
Managing Facility Agent and the Purchasers and shall immediately deposit such
payment into the Concentration Account.

-------------------------------------------------------
Event. (a) If a Rating Event shall occur, then no later than the 20th Business
-----

amount equal to the RARC Repurchase Obligation (as of the Settlement Date
preceding such date of deposit). As long as any Rating Event continues, (i) the
Seller shall deposit cash into the Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to
any incremental increase in the RARC Repurchase Obligation resulting from
purchases of Receivables after the occurrence of such Rating Event immediately

the continuance of a Discount Event, each purchase of Eligible Receivables in

Price" and the portion of such Receivable's Principal Balance equal to the sum
of the reductions and discounts required pursuant to such proviso clause shall
-------
be an interest of the Seller in such Receivable and shall constitute the
Seller's Interest; as necessary to evidence such interest, Assignments in
substantially the form attached hereto and reflecting applicable changes shall
be executed and delivered. The Seller's Interest in each Purchased Receivable
created pursuant to this clause (b) shall be subordinated and junior to the
rights of the Purchasers in accordance with the terms and conditions of

subsequent Settlement Dates.
(c) The Seller's Interest in and to each Purchased Receivable

but not limited to, the rights of the Purchasers to receive all Principal
Collections and Finance Charge Collections on the Purchased Receivables until
the Outstanding Purchase Price has been reduced to zero and all other amounts
owing to the Managing Facility Agent or any Purchaser under any Purchase
Document have been paid in full and, accordingly, the Seller shall not (except
as provided in subsection 2.16(b)) be entitled to receive any amounts on account
of the Seller's Interest in such Purchased Receivables until the Outstanding
Purchase Price has been reduced to zero and all other amounts owing to the
Managing Facility Agent or any Purchaser under any Purchase Document have been

required to be made at least monthly and Receivables the Obligor of which is a
Governmental Authority (other than a United States Federal Governmental
Authority) will not be eligible for purchase or substitution hereunder
(including Lease Receivables under subsection 2.13(e)).
(e) If a Rating Event shall occur and be continuing and the
Servicer makes a drawing under any letter of credit related to a L/C Receivable
pursuant to subsection 3.2(a), the Servicer shall deposit the amount of such
drawing in the Collection Account on the date deposits are required to be made
hereunder pursuant to subsection 2.14(a).

2.11, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 11.1 and 11.7 hereof, shall apply.
2.6A. Certain Actions Following a Discount Event. (a) Upon the
------------------------------------------
first occurrence of a Discount Event (which is not also a Rating Event), the
Seller shall have the option to either (i) deem such Discount Event to be also a
Rating Event or (ii) determine and pay the Discount Amount in accordance with
paragraph (b) below.
(b) If, upon the first occurrence of a Discount Event (which
is not also a Rating Event), the Seller elects to exercise its option in clause
(ii) above to determine and pay the Discount Amount, then not later than the 5th
Business Day following such occurrence, the Seller shall pay or shall cause to
be paid to the Managing Facility Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Purchasers in immediately available funds, the Discount Amount, determined as of

shall distribute the Discount Amount pro rata to the Purchasers in accordance
with each Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase Price, and, without duplication, the
then Outstanding Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to such
distribution and the Outstanding Balance and the Principal Balance of each
Purchased Receivable then existing shall be reduced by its pro rata share of
such distribution. The interest in the Purchased Receivables allocable to the
Discount Amount shall be an interest of the Seller in such Receivables and shall
constitute the Seller's Interest; as necessary to evidence such interest,
Assignments in substantially the form attached hereto and reflecting applicable
changes shall be executed and delivered by the Administrative Agent on behalf of
the Purchasers in favor of the Seller and each of the Purchasers hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver on behalf of such
Purchaser any such Assignments. The Seller's Interest in and to each Purchased
Receivable created pursuant to this subsection 2.6A(b) shall be subordinate and
junior in right of payment and all other rights to the rights of the Purchasers
with respect to the Purchased Receivables, including, but not limited to, the
rights of the Purchasers to receive all Principal Collections and Finance Charge
Collections on the Purchased Receivables until the Outstanding Purchase Price
has been reduced to zero and all
47
other amounts owing to the Managing Facility Agent or any Purchaser under any
Purchase Document have been paid in full and, accordingly, the Seller shall not
be entitled to receive any amounts on account of the Seller's Interest in such
Purchased Receivables until the Outstanding Purchase Price has been reduced to
zero and all other amounts owing to the Managing Facility Agent or any Purchaser
under any Purchase Document have been paid in full, provided that during the
Revolving Period, the Seller shall have a right to receive Principal Collections
in respect of such Seller's Interest in accordance with subsection 2.16(a). If
such Discount Event is no longer continuing, the portion of any Receivable
representing the Seller's Interest created therein pursuant to this subsection
2.6A(b) shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be deemed
to be available as a Receivable for purchase by the Purchasers on subsequent
Settlement Dates.

all Wholesale Receivables would exceed an amount equal to 20%
of the Outstanding Purchase Price on such Settlement Date;
(xii) the aggregate outstanding Principal Balances of
all Unsecured Foreign Receivables the Obligor of which is a
Governmental Authority would exceed an amount equal to 2% of
the Outstanding Purchase Price on such Settlement Date;
(xiii) the aggregate outstanding Principal Balances of
all Extended Term Receivables would exceed an amount equal to
50% of the Outstanding Purchase Price on such Settlement Date;
49
(xiv) the aggregate outstanding Principal Balances of
all Purchased Receivables with respect to Aircraft
manufactured by any Person other than RAC would exceed an
amount equal to 5% of the Outstanding Purchase Price on such
Settlement Date;
(xv) [Intentionally omitted];
(xvi) [Intentionally omitted];
(xvii) the aggregate outstanding Principal Balances of
all Travel Air Receivables on any Settlement Date would exceed
an amount equal to 15% of the Outstanding Purchase Price on
such Settlement Date; or
(xviii) the aggregate outstanding Principal Balances of
Receivables referred to in clause (g)(ii)(B) of the definition
of "Eligible Receivable" that are not Wholesale Receivables
would exceed $75,000,000 on such Settlement Date.
(b) If any such sale or substitution on any Settlement Date
shall cause a breach of any of the limitations specified in subsections
2.7(a)(i) through 2.7(a)(xvii), the Seller shall, subject to subsection 2.13,
repurchase from the Purchasers, on the Settlement Date immediately following the
date the Managing Facility Agent notifies the Seller of such breach, the fewest
number of Receivables necessary such that after such repurchase such breach
shall have been remedied (each Receivable required to be so repurchased, a
"Concentration Receivable"). The Seller shall effect such repurchase by
------------------------
depositing into the Concentration Account on such Settlement Date cash in an
amount equal to the aggregate Outstanding Balances of the Concentration
Receivables plus, if a Trigger Amortization Event has occurred and is
continuing, accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the rate under the related
Contract except to the extent (without duplication) of any payment made pursuant
to subsection 2.18 for the Settlement Period during which such interest accrued
and was not paid by the related Obligor. The amount of any such deposit shall be
applied and distributed in accordance with subsections 2.15 and 2.16.
2.8 Term of Revolving Period. (a) So long as no Amortization
------------------------
Event has occurred and is continuing, no more than 60 and no less than 45 days
prior to the applicable Expiration Date, the Seller may request, through the
Managing Facility Agent, that each Purchaser extend the Revolving Period, which
decision will be made by each Purchaser in its sole discretion. Such request by
the Seller shall be accompanied by an amortization schedule of Purchased
Receivables in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing Facility Agent
and the Purchasers. Upon receipt of any such request, the Managing Facility
Agent shall promptly notify each Purchaser thereof. At least 30 but not more
than 45 days prior to the applicable Expiration Date, each Purchaser shall
notify the Managing Facility Agent of such Purchaser's willingness to extend the
Revolving Period, and the Managing Facility Agent shall notify the Seller of
such willingness by the Purchasers on such 30th day. The approval of the
Managing Facility Agent and at least the Majority Purchasers (calculated as to
Purchasers which are not Dissenting Purchasers prior to the applicable
Expiration Date) shall be required to extend such Expiration Date.
50
(b) (i) Any Purchaser not wishing to extend the Revolving
Period (a "Dissenting Purchaser") may in its sole discretion elect to terminate
--------------------
its Commitment on the Expiration Date in effect prior to any such extension of
the Revolving Period. The Dissenting Purchaser shall give the Managing Facility
Agent notice of such election at least 30 days prior to the applicable
Expiration Date, provided that failure to expressly notify the Managing Facility
--------
Agent of a willingness to extend the Expiration Date in accordance with
subsection 2.8(a) shall be deemed an election by such Purchaser to terminate its
Commitment on the Expiration Date. Upon receipt of any notice the Managing
Facility Agent shall promptly notify each other Purchaser and the Seller
thereof. The Seller, by notice to the Managing Facility Agent, may (but shall
not be required to) request one or more other Purchasers, or seek another
financial institution acceptable to the Managing Facility Agent and the Seller,
in their reasonable discretion, to acquire the Commitment of the Dissenting
Purchaser and all amounts payable to it hereunder in accordance with subsection
11.6(c). Unless otherwise specified in connection with a transfer made pursuant
to subsection 11.6(c), a Purchaser shall become a Dissenting Purchaser pursuant
to this subsection 2.8(b) on the first day following the Expiration Date on
which its Commitment is terminated.
(ii) If any Dissenting Purchaser's Commitment is not acquired
pursuant to subsection 11.6(c), such Dissenting Purchaser shall, on each
Settlement Date after the Expiration Date on which its Commitment terminates,
(A) be paid such Dissenting Purchaser's pro rata share of Principal Collections
--- ----
received after such Expiration Date solely (except as provided in subsection
2.13(c)) on account of Eligible Receivables purchased or substituted on or
before such Expiration Date (based on such Dissenting Purchaser's Commitment
Percentage at the time its Commitment terminated) (as to such Dissenting
Purchaser, its "Frozen Pool"), (B) not purchase any additional Receivables after
-----------
such Expiration Date and (C) be paid interest in accordance with subsection 2.17
in respect of its Outstanding Purchase Price.
(iii) So long as the Revolving Period has not expired or
terminated, if on any Settlement Date after a Purchaser becomes a Dissenting
Purchaser its Outstanding Purchase Price is less than 10% (after giving effect
to the application of Collections on such Settlement Date) of such Dissenting
Purchaser's maximum Outstanding Purchase Price at any time prior to the date
such Purchaser became a Dissenting Purchaser, then the Seller may give the
Managing Facility Agent irrevocable notice, which must be received by the
Managing Facility Agent by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Reporting Date
prior to the next succeeding Settlement Date, (A) requesting that each other
Purchaser purchase a pro rata share (based on such other Purchaser's Available
--- ----
Commitment Percentage as in effect on such next succeeding Settlement Date) of
such Dissenting Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase Price (the "Buyout Amount")
-------------
subject to the approval of the Managing Facility Agent and the Majority
Purchasers or (B) stating that the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller will
repurchase all the Dissenting Purchaser's interests in and to the Receivables in
the Frozen Pool by payment of the Buyout Amount on such next succeeding
Settlement Date; provided that no such purchase by the Purchasers shall be made
--------
if the Buyout Amount to be paid by such Purchasers exceeds the aggregate
Available Commitments in effect on such next succeeding Settlement Date (after
giving effect to purchases from the Seller on such date). Any such purchase of
the Buyout Amount by the Purchasers shall be subject to, and shall be made upon
satisfaction of, the conditions set forth in subsection 5.2 and, in connection
therewith, the Seller shall be deemed to have made the representations and
51
warranties set forth in subsection 4.2 with respect to the Receivables
constituting the Frozen Pool as if such Receivables were being sold to the
Purchasers on such Settlement Date. Payment for the purchase by the Purchasers
or the repurchase by the Seller of the Frozen Pool, as the case may be, shall be
made to the Managing Facility Agent for the account of such Dissenting Purchaser
on such Settlement Date by deposit into the Concentration Account on the
Settlement Date required by this subsection 2.8(b)(iii).
2.9 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) On any
---------------------------------------
Settlement Date, the Seller shall have the right to terminate the Commitments or
reduce the amount thereof by notice to the Managing Facility Agent on the
preceding Reporting Date; provided that no such termination or reduction shall
--------
be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any distributions on account
of the Outstanding Purchase Price made on such Settlement Date, the then
Outstanding Purchase Price (exclusive of the interests of Dissenting Purchasers)
would exceed the Commitments then in effect. Any such reduction shall be in an
amount equal to $50,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and
shall permanently reduce the Commitments then in effect.
(b) On each Settlement Date the aggregate Commitment of the
Purchasers shall be reduced by increments of $25,000,000 to the extent such
reductions shall not exceed an amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount of
Specified Resales which occurred prior to or during the related Settlement
Period pursuant to clause (x) of subsection 11.24(a) less (ii) the aggregate
amount of any prior reduction of the aggregate Commitment of the Purchasers
pursuant to this subsection 2.9(b), provided that the first such reduction made
--------
after the Amendment Effective Date must be in an aggregate amount equal to
$50,000,000 or $25,000,000 increments in excess thereof.
(c) If on any date, the Debt Rating shall be equal to or less
than BB+, the Seller shall reduce the amount of the Commitments by an aggregate
amount of $200,000,000. Such reduction of the Commitments shall be accompanied
by prepayment of the Outstanding Purchase Price to the extent, if any, that the
Outstanding Purchase Price exceeds the amount of the Commitments as so reduced.
(d) Each Purchaser's Commitment shall terminate upon the
expiration of the Revolving Period as to such Purchaser.
2.10 Defaulted Receivables; Application of Lease Security
----------------------------------------------------
Deposits. (a) (i) On each Settlement Date (other than a Special Settlement Date)
--------
the Seller agrees to repurchase from the Purchasers, up to the RARC Repurchase
Obligation, all Receivables which became Defaulted Receivables during each
preceding Settlement Period with respect to which the Seller has not substituted
an Eligible Receivable pursuant to subsection 2.13, as indicated on the
Settlement Statement delivered on the related Reporting Date. Subject to
subsections 2.10(b), 2.13, 2.15(b) and clause sixth of subsection 2.16(b), the
-----
Seller shall repurchase such Defaulted Receivables by depositing into the
Concentration Account on such Settlement Date cash in an amount equal to the
aggregate Outstanding Balances of the Defaulted Receivables plus, if a Trigger
Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the rate under the related Contract except to the extent (without
duplication) of any payment made pursuant to subsection 2.18 for the Settlement
Period during which such interest accrued and was not paid by
52
the Obligor under such Contract. The amount of any such deposit shall be applied
and distributed in accordance with subsections 2.15 and 2.16. If on any
Settlement Date the Repurchase Price to be paid by the Seller for any Defaulted
Receivable would cause the RARC Repurchase Obligation then in effect (determined
on such Settlement Date) to be exceeded, the Seller shall be deemed to acquire
only a fractional interest in each Defaulted Receivable repurchased on such
Settlement Date. The numerator of such fraction shall be the RARC Repurchase
Obligation then in effect determined on such Settlement Date and the denominator
thereof shall be the aggregate Repurchase Price for all Defaulted Receivables on
such Settlement Date. Upon any repurchase of a Defaulted Receivable with respect
to which there exists a Seller's Interest pursuant to this subsection or the
Repurchase Agreement, the Seller's Interest shall be reduced by an amount equal
to the Purchase Discount times the Principal Balance of such Defaulted
Receivable on the last day of the Settlement Period preceding the Settlement
Date on which such repurchase is made. Any Purchased Receivable related to a
Remarketed Aircraft which is repurchased or substituted for in accordance with
subsection 2.11 or 2.13, respectively, shall not be deemed to be a Defaulted
Receivable.
(ii) In the event that a Rating Event occurs and is
continuing, any Net Recoveries received by the Seller on account of any
Defaulted Receivable which none of the Seller, RAC nor the Guarantor has
repurchased, shall be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account. In the event
that the Amortization Period ends pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of
such term, any Net Recoveries received by the Seller after such time on account
of any Defaulted Receivable which none of the Seller, RAC nor the Guarantor has
repurchased, shall be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account. The Seller
shall make any deposit required to be made by this subsection 2.10(a)(ii) within
two Business Days after the Seller's receipt of such Net Recoveries and such
deposits shall be applied in accordance with subsections 2.15 and 2.16. The
obligation of the Seller to deposit such Net Recoveries shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
(iii) The Seller agrees that, to the extent it has received a
security deposit in respect of any Lease Receivable, at the time the Seller
applies any or all of such security deposit or any or all of such security
deposit is applied (in each case pursuant to the related Contract or otherwise)
against the amounts owed in respect of a Receivable, on the next succeeding
Settlement Date the Seller shall be obligated to pay the Purchasers their pro
rata share of the amount of such application in the same manner as if such
applied funds actually were Collections. The Seller shall pay such obligation by
depositing into the Concentration Account on such Settlement Date cash in an
amount equal to such application. The amount of any such deposit shall be
applied and distributed in accordance with subsections 2.15 and 2.16.
(b) The maximum repurchase obligation of the Seller with
respect to Defaulted Receivables (the "RARC Repurchase Obligation") shall be
--------------------------
equal to (a) at any time during the Revolving Period, an amount equal to the
RARC Repurchase Percentage of the excess of (A) the sum of (i) 25% of the
aggregate Unadjusted Outstanding Balances of the 25% Repurchase Receivables,
(ii) 75% of the aggregate Unadjusted Outstanding Balances of the 75% Repurchase
Receivables and (iii) 90% of the aggregate Unadjusted Outstanding Balances of
the 90% Repurchase Receivables over (B) the amount of any Discount Amount paid
----
and the amount of any Purchase Discount resulting from the purchase or
substitution of Receivables during the existence of a Discount Event, in each
case at the time the RARC Repurchase Obligation is calculated;
53
provided that,
--------
(i) the RARC Repurchase Obligation shall not at any
time decrease below an amount equal to the RARC Repurchase
Percentage of (x) with respect to any Purchaser other than a
Dissenting Purchaser, an amount equal to the greater of such
Purchaser's share of (1) 15% of the maximum aggregate
Outstanding Balances of the Purchased Receivables which
existed at any time during the Revolving Period and (2) the
sum of the Outstanding Balances on the last day of the
Revolving Period of the three Obligors (and all of their
Affiliates) of Purchased Receivables with the largest
aggregate outstanding Principal Balances and (y) with respect
to any Dissenting Purchaser, an amount equal to the greater of
such Purchaser's share of (1) 15% of the maximum aggregate
Outstanding Balances of the sum of the Purchased Receivables
which existed at any time prior to the date such Purchaser
became a Dissenting Purchaser and (2) the sum of the
Outstanding Balances on the day on which such Purchaser became
a Dissenting Purchaser of the three Obligors (and all of their
Affiliates) of Purchased Receivables with the largest
aggregate outstanding Principal Balances, minus, in each such
case, to the extent not already deducted in calculating such
Outstanding Balances, such Purchaser's allocated share of the
amount of any Discount Amount paid and the amount of any
Purchase Discount resulting from the purchase or substitution
of Receivables during the existence of a Discount Event and
(ii) notwithstanding clause (i) immediately above, the
RARC Repurchase Obligation shall not at any time exceed an
amount equal to the RARC Repurchase Percentage of the
Outstanding Purchase Price
or (b) during the Amortization Period, (A) the RARC Repurchase
Obligation, as calculated in accordance with clause (a) above, in
effect on the last Settlement Date prior to the commencement of the
Amortization Period minus (B) the aggregate Repurchase Prices of
-----
Defaulted Receivables which were repurchased by the Seller pursuant to
subsection 2.10(a) since the beginning of the Amortization Period minus
-----
(C) amounts deposited by the Seller into the Cash Collateral Account
pursuant to subsection 2.14(c)(ii) plus (D) all Net Recoveries received
----
by the Seller with respect to such Defaulted Receivables (or portion
thereof) so repurchased by the Seller since the beginning of the
Amortization Period and not required to be deposited into the Cash
Collateral Account pursuant to subsection 2.10(a)(ii).
2.10A Delinquent Receivables. If on any Settlement Date the
----------------------
outstanding balance of Delinquent Receivables shall cause an Amortization Event
of the type described in subsection 8.1(p), below, the Seller may either
substitute Eligible Receivables for such Delinquent Receivables pursuant to
Section 2.13 or repurchase from the Purchasers sufficient Delinquent
Receivables, in each case, with the consent of the Managing Facility Agent,
beginning with those Delinquent Receivables with the oldest outstanding balance,
such that after such repurchase or substitution such Amortization Event shall
have been cured. Seller shall repurchase such Delinquent Receivables being
repurchased on such Settlement Date by depositing into the Concentration Account
on such Settlement Date cash in an amount equal to
54
the Outstanding Balance of such Delinquent Receivables. Any amounts received by
the Administrative Agent, or deposited into the Concentration Account, in
respect of Delinquent Receivables sold pursuant to this Section 2.10A shall be
applied and distributed in accordance with subsections 2.15 and 2.16.
2.11 Ineligible Receivables. The Seller agrees to repurchase
----------------------
on each Settlement Date, and the Purchasers agree to sell to the Seller on such
date and in accordance with the terms hereof, any Purchased Receivable if such
Receivable is (i) an Ineligible Receivable, (ii) an Existing Certified
Receivable in respect of which the Old Administrative Agent shall not have
received on or prior to the Certified Opinion Delivery Date (x) an opinion of
foreign counsel satisfying the requirements of subsection 2.27(c) or (y)
evidence of the filings, if any, referred to in subsection 6.1(n)(i) or (iii) an
Existing Receivable in respect of which the Old Administrative Agent shall not
have received on or prior to the FAA Filing Date evidence of the filings, if
any, referred to in subsection 6.1(n)(ii) provided that, during the Amortization
--------
Period, the Purchasers, by unanimous consent, in their sole discretion may
choose not to sell any Receivable referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) to
the Seller. The Seller shall make such repurchase on the Settlement Date first
succeeding the earlier of (x) the date on which the Seller becomes aware of
facts and circumstances giving rise to such event of ineligibility or (y) the
date on which the Managing Facility Agent notifies the Seller that such event of
ineligibility has occurred and is continuing. Subject to subsections 2.13 and
2.15(b), the Seller shall make such repurchase by depositing in the
Concentration Account cash in an amount equal to the Repurchase Price for such
Ineligible Receivable at the date such deposit is made, except to the extent
(without duplication) of any payment made pursuant to subsection 2.18, for the
Settlement Period during which such interest accrued and was not paid by the
Obligor under such Contract. The amount of any such deposit shall be applied and
distributed in accordance with subsections 2.15 and 2.16. Except as provided in
subsection 9.1, the sole obligation of the Seller with respect to an Ineligible
Receivable of the type described in clause (i) of this subsection 2.11 shall be
the requirement to repurchase or substitute for such Receivable pursuant to this
subsection 2.11 or subsection 2.13, respectively.
2.12 Rebated Receivables. If on any date the Principal Balance
-------------------
of any Purchased Receivable is, or is deemed to be, reduced or adjusted or no
longer payable as a result of any rebate, discount, refund or other adjustment
of such Purchased Receivable, or any other reduction or adjustment of any
payment under any Purchased Receivable, other than any such rebate, discount
refund or adjustment permitted under subsection 7.1(b)(iv)(x), the Seller shall
be deemed to have received on such day a Collection in respect of such Purchased
Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment or in the amount no
longer payable (as applicable) and shall, subject to subsection 2.15(b), deposit
cash into the Concentration Account on the next succeeding Settlement Date in an
amount equal to such reduction or adjustment or such amount no longer payable
(as applicable) plus if a Trigger Amortization Event has occurred and is
continuing, accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the rate under the related
Contract except to the extent (without duplication) of any payment made pursuant
to subsection 2.18 for the Settlement Period during which such interest accrued
and was not paid by the Obligor under such Contract. The amount of any such
deposit shall be applied and distributed in accordance with subsections 2.15 and
2.16.
55
2.13 Substitution of Receivables. (a) Whenever the Seller is
---------------------------
required or permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to
repurchase Concentration Receivables, Defaulted Receivables, Delinquent
Receivables or Ineligible Receivables pursuant to subsection 2.7(b), 2.10, 2.10A
or 2.11, respectively, the Seller may, subject to the terms hereof, in lieu of
making such repurchase, substitute one or more Eligible Receivables (each, a
"Substituted Receivable") therefor on the Settlement Date on which the
----------------------
repurchase is required to be made; provided that the Settlement Statement
--------
delivered on the Reporting Date prior to such Settlement Date shall contain the
information required thereby with respect to such proposed substitution. The
option of the Seller to substitute one or more Substituted Receivables for any
Receivables as aforesaid is subject to the following conditions precedent: (i)
no Trigger Amortization Event has occurred and is then continuing, (ii) if such
substitution occurs during the Amortization Period, and provided that no Trigger
Amortization Event has occurred and is then continuing, the Majority Purchasers
have approved such substitution, (iii) if the substitution is of a Delinquent
Receivable pursuant to Section 2.10A, the Managing Facility Agent has consented
to such substitution and (iv) either the Substituted Receivable has a Final
Payment Date which is not after the Final Payment Date of the replaced
Receivable (each, replaced Receivable, a "Removed Receivable"), or if the Final
------------------
Payment Date of the Substituted Receivable is after that of the Removed
Receivable, then only that portion of the Principal Balance of such proposed
Substituted Receivable which is scheduled to be paid on or prior to the Final
Payment Date of the Removed Receivable shall be included as a Substituted
Receivable. All Defaulted Receivables, then all Delinquent Receivables, shall be
replaced with Substituted Receivables prior to replacement of Ineligible
Receivables or Concentration Receivables with Substituted Receivables and, in
each case, shall be replaced with Substituted Receivables in the following order
of priority: (i) first, with Substituted Receivables which are 25% Repurchase
-----
Receivables, (ii) second, with Substituted Receivables which are 75% Repurchase
------
Receivables, and (iii) third, with Substituted Receivables which are 90%
-----
Repurchase Receivables. The making of such substitution shall be subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraphs subsection 5.2,
including, without limitation, the delivery of an Assignment and, if applicable,
an FAA Assignment or Foreign Assignment.
(b) If the Repurchase Price of the Removed Receivable proposed
to be replaced by one or more Substituted Receivables is greater than the
aggregate Principal Balances of such Substituted Receivables, the Seller shall
deposit cash into the Concentration Account in an amount equal to such excess.
Alternatively, if the Repurchase Price of such Removed Receivable is less than
the aggregate Principal Balances of the corresponding Substituted Receivable or
Receivables, during the Revolving Period the Seller may, so long as no
Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, request the Purchasers to
purchase such excess, to the extent of the Available Commitments, pursuant to
subsection 2.2. If such excess is not purchased for any reason set forth in this
Agreement, then each Substituted Receivable able to be substituted to the
fullest extent shall first be substituted and any remaining Substituted
Receivable shall be a Participated Receivable subject to the provisions of
subsection 2.4. During the Revolving Period, if any Substituted Receivable is an
Extended Term Receivable, then such Substituted Receivable shall be subject to
subsection 2.5 and the Cash Flow Cutoff Date for such Substituted Receivable
shall be deemed to be, initially, (i) so long as no Rating Event has occurred
and is continuing, thirteen years after the date of substitution of such
Substituted Receivable and (ii) during the continuance of a Rating Event, ten
years after the date of
56
substitution of such Substituted Receivable. Substitution for a Defaulted
Receivable shall not reduce the Aggregate Repurchase Obligation.
(c) If a Dissenting Purchaser holds an undivided interest in
any Removed Receivable then:
(i) if such Removed Receivable is an Ineligible Receivable, a
Delinquent Receivable or a Concentration Receivable, the Seller shall pay to the
Managing Facility Agent for the account of such Dissenting Purchaser an amount
equal to the sum of (A) the product of such Dissenting Purchaser's Commitment
Percentage (determined at the time such Dissenting Purchaser's Commitment
terminated) times the Outstanding Balance for such Removed Receivable and (B) if
-----
a Trigger Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Dissenting
Purchaser's pro rata share (determined at the time such Dissenting Purchaser's
--- ----
commitment terminated) of accrued and unpaid interest on such Removed Receivable
at the rate under the related Contract except to the extent (without
duplication) of any payment made pursuant to subsection 2.18 for the Settlement
Period during which such interest accrued and was not paid by the Obligor under
such Contract; and
(ii) if such Removed Receivable is a Defaulted Receivable, (A)
and if the aggregate Available Commitments in effect on the Settlement Date on
which such substitution is to be made exceed an amount equal to (x) the
Dissenting Purchaser's Commitment Percentage (determined at the time such
Dissenting Purchaser's Commitment terminated) times (y) the Outstanding Balance
-----
for such Removed Receivable (the "Dissenting Purchaser's Share"), each Purchaser
----------------------------
other than a Dissenting Purchaser shall be deemed to purchase its Commitment
Percentage of the Dissenting Purchaser's Share by making funds therefor
available to the Managing Facility Agent for the account of such Dissenting
Purchaser on the Settlement Date on which such substitution is proposed to be
made; provided that such purchases shall be subject to the satisfaction of the
--------
conditions set forth in subsection 5.2 and, in connection therewith, the Seller
shall be deemed to have made the representations and warranties set forth in
subsection 4.2 with respect to the Purchased Receivables constituting the
Dissenting Purchaser's Share as if the Seller were selling such Receivables to
the Purchasers on such Settlement Date; or (B) if for any reason a purchase
cannot be made pursuant to the foregoing clause (A), the Seller shall
repurchase, up to the amount of the RARC Repurchase Obligation on the date of
such purchase, such Dissenting Purchaser's Share on such Settlement Date up to
such Dissenting Purchaser's Commitment Percentage (determined at the time such
Dissenting Purchaser's Commitment terminated) of the Aggregate Repurchase
Obligation in effect on such Settlement Date (in each case after giving effect
to purchases, substitutions and repurchases on such Settlement Date) plus, if a
Trigger Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Dissenting
Purchaser's pro rata share (determined at the time such Dissenting Purchaser's
--- ----
Commitment terminated) of accrued and unpaid interest on such Removed Receivable
at the rate under the related Contract except to the extent (without
duplication) of any payment made pursuant to subsection 2.18 for the Settlement
Period during which such interest accrued and was not paid by the Obligor under
such Contract. It is understood that determinations of the RARC Repurchase
Obligation with respect to a Dissenting Purchaser pursuant to this subsection
2.13(c)(ii) shall be, with respect to a L/C Receivable, made on the Settlement
Date on which such determination is made in accordance with the definitions of
the terms "90% Repurchase Receivable" and "25% Repurchase Receivable" and the
status of such L/C Receivable at such Settlement Date.
57
(d) Any repurchases of Receivables made pursuant to subsection
2.13(c) shall be made on the Settlement Date on which the related substitution
of Receivables is to be made.
(e) On any Settlement Date (other than a Special Settlement
Date) the Seller may, with the consent of the Managing Facility Agent,
substitute a Lease Receivable which is an Eligible Receivable (a "Substituted
-----------
Lease Receivable") for a Lease Receivable (other than a Lease Receivable which
----------------
is a Defaulted Receivable, a Delinquent Receivable, a Concentration Receivable
or an Ineligible Receivable) which was previously sold or substituted hereunder
(a "Replaced Lease Receivable") if the Seller, in the ordinary course of
-------------------------
business and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, is entering
into a new Contract with the same Person which is the Obligor under the Contract
related to such Replaced Lease Receivable (or an Affiliate of such Person);
provided that during the Amortization Period the prior consent of the Majority
--------
Purchasers shall be required to effect any such substitution; provided, further,
-------- -------
that if a Remittance Event has occurred and is continuing and if the Principal
Balance of a Substituted Lease Receivable is less than the Principal Balance of
the Replaced Lease Receivable such substitution shall occur only on a Settlement
Date and within two Business Days after such substitution is made, the Seller
shall deposit into the Concentration Account an amount equal to the difference
between the Outstanding Balance of the Replaced Lease Receivable and the
Purchase Price of the Substituted Lease Receivable. The Settlement Statement
with respect to the Settlement Period in which such substitution occurs (or the
Settlement Statement delivered with respect to the Settlement Date on which such
substitution occurs, in the case of substitutions made on a Settlement Date in
accordance with the final proviso of the preceding sentence) shall contain the
information required thereby with respect to such substitution. Upon such
substitution, the Principal Balance of the Replaced Lease Receivable shall be
deemed to be reduced to zero. The provisions of subsection 2.13(b) (except for
the first sentence thereof) shall apply as if a Replaced Lease Receivable and a
Substituted Lease Receivable are, respectively, a Removed Receivable and a
Substituted Receivable and the provisions of subsection 2.13(c)(i) (A) (without
regard to clause (B) of subsection 2.13(c)(i)) shall apply as if a Replaced
Lease Receivable is a Removed Receivable; provided that, in accordance with
--------
subsection 2.13(d) and notwithstanding the date of substitution of a Substituted
Lease Receivable in accordance with this subsection 2.13(e), payments shall be
made to the Dissenting Purchaser with respect to a Substituted Lease Receivable
on the Settlement Date related to the Settlement Statement which contains
information with respect to such substitution. The making of such substitution
shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in subsection
5.2, including in each case, without limitation, the delivery of an Assignment
and FAA Assignment or a Foreign Assignment, as applicable, with respect to each
such Substituted Lease Receivable on or before the Business Day such Substituted
Lease Receivable is substituted.
2.14 Accounts. (a) On or before the Closing Date the Seller
--------
shall establish in its name a segregated account with a commercial bank
satisfactory to the Managing Facility Agent (the "Collection Account"). Upon the
------------------
occurrence and during the continuance of a Remittance Event, and unless the
Servicer has provided a Servicer Letter of Credit in accordance with subsection
2.15(a), the Seller or the Servicer shall within two Business Days after its
receipt, (i) deposit all Collections received by it directly into the Collection
Account and (ii) transfer or cause to be transferred to the Concentration
Account any Collections so deposited. Any amounts received by the Seller and not
related to the Purchased Receivables or the related Contracts or
58
Financed Aircraft shall not be deposited into the Collection Account. Any
amounts at any time on deposit in the Collection Account shall be transferred
only to the Concentration Account and to no other deposit or other account
(including, but not limited to, any account or sub-account maintained pursuant
to Raytheon's cash management system). The Seller hereby grants to the Managing
Facility Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers a security interest in
the Collection Account and all amounts from time to time on deposit therein to
secure the Obligations. The Seller shall have no right to withdraw any amounts
on deposit in the Collection Account.
(b) On or before the Closing Date there shall be established
with and in the name of the Managing Facility Agent a segregated account (the
"Concentration Account") which shall be maintained as a cash collateral account
---------------------
subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Managing Facility Agent for
the ratable benefit of the Purchasers. The Seller hereby grants to the Managing
Facility Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers a security interest in
any of its right, title and interest in the Concentration Account and all
amounts from time to time on deposit therein and all income from the investment
of such amounts to secure, in each case, the Obligations. Funds on deposit from
time to time in the Concentration Account shall bear interest at the then
prevailing rate paid by the Managing Facility Agent for deposit accounts with
similar amounts on deposit from time to time. If at any time funds on deposit in
the Concentration Account are greater than $100,000, the Managing Facility Agent
may, but shall not be required to, unless it receives a request from the Seller
or Raytheon, invest such funds in Cash Equivalents with maturities not later
than the next succeeding Settlement Date, to the extent such requested Cash
Equivalents are available for investment. Any investment request by the Seller
or Raytheon shall be given to the Managing Facility Agent one Business Day prior
to the day the investment is to be made (which shall be a Business Day in New
York, New York and San Francisco, California) and shall specify the particular
Cash Equivalents and maturities thereof. Any interest or investment earnings on
amounts in the Concentration Account on related investments shall be retained in
the Concentration Account to be withdrawn in accordance with this subsection
2.14(b). The Managing Facility Agent shall have the right to withdraw amounts
from the Concentration Account to make the payments required to be made
hereunder from Collections. Neither the Managing Facility Agent nor any
Purchaser shall have any responsibility for any such investment and the Managing
Facility Agent shall be permitted to liquidate any such investment, without
liability for any loss occurring by reason of such liquidation, to the extent
necessary to make payments and distributions under this Agreement. The Seller
shall have no right to withdraw amounts on deposit from time to time in the
Concentration Account.
(c) (i) On or before the Closing Date there shall be
established with and in the name of the Managing Facility Agent a segregated
trust account comprised of two segregated sub-accounts, the Seller cash
collateral sub-account (the "Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account") and the RAC
----------------------------------
cash collateral sub-account (the "RAC Cash Collateral Sub-Account," the Seller
-------------------------------
Cash Collateral Sub-Account and the RAC Cash Collateral Sub-Account being
referred to collectively as the "Cash Collateral Account") which shall be
-----------------------
maintained as a cash collateral account subject to the exclusive dominion and
control of the Managing Facility Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Purchasers. The Seller hereby grants to the Managing Facility Agent for the
ratable benefit of the Purchasers a first priority security interest in the Cash
Collateral
59
Account and all amounts on deposit from time to time therein and all income from
the investment of such amounts to secure, in each case, the Obligations. Funds
on deposit from time to time in the Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account shall
bear interest at the then prevailing rate paid by the Managing Facility Agent
for deposit accounts with similar amounts on deposit from time to time. If at
any time funds on deposit in the Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account are greater
than $100,000, the Managing Facility Agent may, but shall not be required to,
unless it receives a request from the Seller, invest funds on deposit in the
Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account in Cash Equivalents with maturities not later
than the next succeeding Settlement Date (or such other maturities as the Seller
shall request and the Managing Facility Agent shall approve), to the extent such
requested Cash Equivalents are available for investment. Any investment request
by the Seller shall be given to the Managing Facility Agent one Business Day
prior to the day the investment is to be made (which shall be a Business Day in
New York, New York and San Francisco, California) and shall specify the
particular Cash Equivalents and maturities thereof. Any interest or investment
earnings on amounts in the Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account or related
investments shall be retained in the Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account to be
withdrawn in accordance with paragraphs (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this subsection
2.14(c). Neither the Managing Facility Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any
responsibility for any such investment and the Managing Facility Agent shall be
permitted to liquidate any such investment, without liability for any loss
occurring by reason of such liquidation, to the extent necessary to make
payments and distributions under this Agreement. The Seller shall have no right
to withdraw amounts on deposit from time to time in the Cash Collateral Account.
(ii) If on any Settlement Date on which the Seller is required
to repurchase Defaulted Receivables pursuant to subsection 2.10 and fails for
any reason to repurchase such Defaulted Receivables or substitute for such
Defaulted Receivables pursuant to subsection 2.13, whether or not RAC fails to
repurchase such Defaulted Receivables under the Repurchase Agreement, the
Managing Facility Agent may withdraw from amounts on deposit in the Seller Cash
Collateral Sub-Account on account of such Defaulted Receivable an amount equal
to the lesser of (A) the Repurchase Price for such Defaulted Receivable plus any
accrued and unpaid interest thereon required to be paid by subsection 2.10 and
(B) the amount then on deposit in the Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account. It is
specifically understood and agreed that amounts on deposit in the Seller Cash
Collateral Sub-Account, whether on account of 25% Repurchase Receivables, 75%
Repurchase Receivables or 90% Repurchase Receivables, may be withdrawn as
aforesaid on account of any Defaulted Receivable, regardless of the RARC
Repurchase Percentage associated therewith or whether the RAC Repurchase
Obligation shall be outstanding. Any amounts so withdrawn shall be deposited
into the Concentration Account and allocated and distributed pursuant to
subsections 2.15 and 2.16, respectively. The Seller agrees with the Managing
Facility Agent and the Purchasers to deposit into the Seller Cash Collateral
Sub-Account, without any requirement for notice or demand therefor, the lesser
of the amount withdrawn therefrom or the sum of the RARC Repurchase Obligation
then in effect on the date such withdrawal is made, plus interest thereon at a
rate per annum equal to the Default Rate for the period from such date of
withdrawal to such date of deposit. Deposit of amounts into the Seller Cash
Collateral Sub-Account pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, to the extent
of such deposit, satisfy the Seller's obligation to repurchase such Defaulted
Receivable pursuant to subsection 2.10.
60
(iii) If the Seller or the Servicer (if then Raytheon Credit
or any Affiliate thereof) shall fail to make any deposit, payment or transfer of
funds required to be made by the Seller or the Servicer under this Agreement or
any other document executed and delivered in connection herewith, including,
without limitation, any payment, deposit or transfer of funds or payment of any
indemnity required to be made pursuant to subsection 2.7(b), 2.10, 2.10A, 2.11,
2.12, 2.18 or 9.1 (each such payment, deposit or transfer, a "Reimbursable
------------
Obligation"), then the Managing Facility Agent with the consent of the Majority
----------
Purchasers may, in addition to any similar rights in favor of the Managing
Facility Agent under the Repurchase Agreement, withdraw from the Seller Cash
Collateral Sub-Account on the date such Reimbursable Obligation is due hereunder
an amount equal to the lesser of (A) such Reimbursable Obligation and (B) the
amount then on deposit in the Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account. The Seller
agrees with the Managing Facility Agent and the Purchasers to deposit in the
Seller Cash Collateral Sub-Account, without any requirement for notice or demand
therefor, the amount withdrawn on the date such withdrawal is made, plus
interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate for the period
from such date of withdrawal to such date of deposit.
(iv) No amounts on deposit in the Seller Cash Collateral Sub-
Account (including interest or investment earnings) shall be released to the
Seller until the Outstanding Purchase Price is reduced to zero and all other
amounts owing to the Managing Facility Agent or any Purchaser hereunder are paid
in full, provided, that,
-------- ----
(x) on each Settlement Date (other than a Special Settlement
Date) occurring during the continuance of a Rating Event, after giving
effect to all collections and distributions on such date, the amounts
on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account in excess of the Aggregate
Repurchase Obligation on such Settlement Date shall be released pro
---
rata based upon their respective repurchase obligations, to the Seller
----
and to RAC;
(y) on each Settlement Date occurring during the continuance
of a Rating Event following a Settlement Period during which Finance
Charges on Wholesale Receivables which are Quarterly Receivables have
been paid, the excess of (A) amounts which were on previous Settlement
Dates, pursuant to subsection 2.16(b)(vi), deposited into the Cash
Collateral Account as accrued Finance Charge Collections on such
Quarterly Receivables, over (B) any portion of such amounts so
previously deposited which are on such Settlement Date withdrawn from
the Cash Collateral Account by the Managing Facility Agent and applied
pursuant to subsection 2.14(c) shall be released to the Seller; and
(z) on the Business Day after the date on which the
Outstanding Purchase Price is reduced to zero and all other amounts
owing to the Managing Facility Agent and the Purchasers hereunder have
been paid in full, all amounts on deposit in the Seller Cash Collateral
Sub-Account shall be released to the Seller.
2.15 Remittance and Allocation of Collections. (a) The Seller
----------------------------------------
or the Servicer shall, subject to subsection 2.14(a), deposit into or transfer
to the Concentration Account all Collections within two Business Days following
receipt thereof; provided that so long as (i) a Remittance Event has not
--------
occurred and is continuing or (ii) following the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Remittance Event, the Servicer has provided a Servicer Letter
of Credit, the
61
Seller or the Servicer shall make such deposit in or transfer to the
Concentration Account not later than the Settlement Date following the
Settlement Period during which such Collections were received; provided,
--------
further, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Rating Event,
-------
the Seller or the Servicer shall, at the times required by and otherwise in
accordance with this subsection 2.15(a), also deposit into or transfer to the
Concentration Account interest payments made by RAC on behalf of an Obligor
under a Wholesale Receivable. It is understood and agreed that until Collections
are required to be transferred to the Concentration Account in accordance with
the foregoing provisions, these funds may be commingled with other funds of
Raytheon and its Subsidiaries in connection with Raytheon's integrated cash
management program.
(b) On each Reporting Date the Servicer shall allocate all
Collections received on account of the Purchased Receivables during the
preceding Settlement Period between Principal Collections and Finance Charge
Collections. All Finance Charge Collections shall be deposited in the
Concentration Account in accordance with subsection 2.15(a) and distributed
pursuant to subsection 2.16(b). All Principal Collections shall be deposited in
the Concentration Account in accordance with subsection 2.15(a) and applied in
accordance with subsection 2.16(a); provided that (i) if on any Settlement Date
--------
during the Revolving Period the aggregate Purchase Price to be paid for
purchases to be made on such Settlement Date exceeds amounts deposited or to be
deposited into the Concentration Account by the Seller or the Servicer, as the
case may be, on or during the Settlement Period prior to such Settlement Date on
account of Principal Collections, the Seller may retain such Principal
Collections, or to the extent previously deposited into the Concentration
Account shall make payments therefrom, as application for such aggregate
Purchase Price to be paid to the Seller on such Settlement Date and amounts so
retained by or paid to the Seller shall be treated as a payment (in whole or in
part, as applicable) for such Purchase Price and (ii) to the extent the amount
of such Principal Collections exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price of Eligible
Receivables available to be purchased on such Settlement Date, the Seller or the
Servicer, as the case may be, shall deposit, to the extent not previously
deposited, such excess in the Concentration Account on or prior to such
Settlement Date for distribution in accordance with subsection 2.16. Any
purchases made pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) shall be subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (h) of
subsection 5.2. During the Amortization Period, all Principal Collections shall
be deposited into the Concentration Account in accordance with subsection
2.15(a) and, on the Settlement Date on or following such date of deposit, shall
be distributed in accordance with subsection 2.16. The portion of any deposit
to be made into the Concentration Account required to be made pursuant to
subsections 2.10, 2.10A, 2.11 or 2.12 or the first sentence of 2.13(b)
(including, without limitation, on account of a Substituted Lease Receivable)
representing the Repurchase Price for any Receivable shall be subject to the
provisions of this subsection 2.15(b).
(c) Any Principal Collections received on account of an
Extended Term Receivable during the Revolving Period shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (h) of
subsection 5.2, be applied to purchase the next succeeding monthly payments of
such Receivable which have not been purchased and which are payable prior to the
Cash Flow Cutoff Date then applicable to such Receivable.
(d) All Net Recoveries required to be deposited in accordance
with subsection 2.10(a)(ii) shall be deposited into the Concentration Account as
Collections. On the Reporting
62
Date following the Settlement Period in which such deposit is made, such Net
Recoveries shall be allocated by the Managing Facility Agent as Principal
Collections and Finance Charge Collections and the Managing Facility Agent shall
notify the Servicer of such allocation the Business Day following such Reporting
Date. Such allocation shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error or
unless the Managing Facility Agent receives notice from the Servicer of any
error made in such allocation on or before the third Business Day after such
notice is given to the Servicer and, in the event of any dispute between the
Managing Facility Agent and the Servicer with respect to such allocation, the
allocation of such Net Recoveries shall be conclusively made by the Managing
Facility Agent's independent certified public accountants prior to the next
succeeding Reporting Date. Such Net Recoveries shall be distributed pursuant to
subsection 2.16.
2.16 Distribution and Application of Collections. (a)
-------------------------------------------
Principal Collections. Principal Collections on Purchased Receivables shall be
---------------------
payable to the Purchasers up to the amount of the Outstanding Purchase Price
from time to time as specified herein. On each Settlement Date during the
Revolving Period (i) Principal Collections received during the prior Settlement
Period that are allocable to Purchased Receivables in which a Seller's Interest
has been created pursuant to subsections 2.6 or 2.6A shall be paid 25% to the
Seller in respect of such Seller's Interest, with the remaining 75% of such
Principal Collections allocated together with all other Principal Collections in
accordance with clause (ii) hereof and (ii) Principal Collections received
during the prior Settlement Period and not allocated to the Seller pursuant to
clause (i) hereof shall be first, applied to the aggregate Purchase Price of
-----
Eligible Receivables purchased on such Settlement Date in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and second, paid to the Purchasers on
------
such Settlement Date and applied in respect of the Outstanding Purchase Price.
On each Settlement Date during the Amortization Period, Principal Collections
received during the prior Settlement Period shall be paid to the Purchasers on
such Settlement Date and applied in respect of the Outstanding Purchase Price.
Following an Amortization Event, Principal Collections on account of the
Purchase Discount applied to the Purchase Price of Receivables purchased during
a Discount Event may, at the discretion of the Managing Facility Agent, be
deemed Finance Charge Collections available to be distributed pursuant to
subsections 2.16(b)(ii) and (b)(iii).
(b) Finance Charge Collections. On each Settlement Date (other
--------------------------
than a Special Settlement Date) funds on deposit in the Concentration Account
representing Finance Charge Collections in respect of the preceding Settlement
Period shall be distributed by the Managing Facility Agent as follows, to the
extent of funds available therefor:
(i) first, to the Servicer as payment of the
-----
Servicing Fee for the preceding Settlement Period;
(ii) second, to the Purchasers pro rata as payment of
------ --- ----
all interest due pursuant to subsection 2.17(a) and (c) for
the preceding Accrual Period;
(iii) third, to the Managing Facility Agent and each
-----
Purchaser which has made a demand prior to the Reporting Date
preceding such Settlement Date, to costs payable pursuant to
subsections 2.22, 2.23, 2.24 and 11.5;
63
(iv) fourth, to the Purchasers pro rata as payment of
------
the Commitment Fees for the preceding Accrual Period pursuant
to subsection 2.17(d) and second, to the Managing Facility
------
Agent as payment of the fees referred to in subsection 2.17(e)
to the extent such fees have not been paid directly by the
Seller;
(v) fifth, if a Rating Event has occurred and is
-----
continuing, to the extent of funds available therefor, to the
Managing Facility Agent for deposit into the Cash Collateral
Account an amount equal to Finance Charges on those Wholesale
Receivables which are Quarterly Receivables which Finance
Charges have accrued during the preceding Settlement Period
and are payable under the related Contract on a subsequent
Settlement Date; and
(vi) sixth, any remaining Finance Charge Collections
-----
(such remainder, "Excess Spread") shall be distributed as
-------------
follows: (1) so long as no Trigger Amortization Event has
occurred and is continuing, to the Seller or its designees and
(2) in all other cases, 100% thereof shall be paid to the
Purchasers pro rata as payment in respect of the Outstanding
Purchase Price.
(c) All Collections received from an Obligor of any Purchased
Receivable shall be applied to Purchased Receivables of such Obligor in the
order of the age of such Purchased Receivables, starting with the oldest
outstanding amount of such Purchased Receivable (i.e., the most delinquent of
---
such Purchased Receivables), except if the payment is designated by such Obligor
for application to specific Receivables. All Principal Collections received on
account of any Extended Term Receivable and not used to purchase monthly
payments of such Receivable payable after its most recent Cash Flow Cutoff Date
shall be applied in the direct order of maturity thereof. Payments made by an
Obligor on account of a Receivable shall, except as otherwise specified by such
Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed
by the Managing Facility Agent and the Required Purchasers, be applied as a
Collection of any Purchased Receivable of such Obligor to the extent of any
amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other
indebtedness of such Obligor to the Seller or Raytheon Credit.
2.17 Interest and Fees. (a) Except as provided in paragraph
-----------------
(b) below, each Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase Price shall bear interest for
each day during an Accrual Period at a rate per annum equal to the Note Rate for
such Purchaser and shall be payable on each Settlement Date (other than a
Special Settlement Date) for the immediately preceding Accrual Period. To the
extent that the Outstanding Purchase Price has not been reduced to zero on the
date the Amortization Period ends pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of
such term, interest shall accrue pursuant to this subsection 2.17(a) regardless
of whether the Seller shall be obligated to pay Expense Amounts under subsection
2.18.
(b) The Outstanding Purchase Price for Receivables purchased
on a Special Settlement Date shall bear interest (i) at a rate per annum equal
to the Base Rate for the first three Working Days following such Special
Settlement Date and (ii) thereafter at a rate per annum equal to the Interbank
Rate for each day of the Special Settlement Date Accrual Period; provided that,
if the Seller provides the Managing Facility Agent with the notice provided for
in Section 2.3 at least three Working Days prior to the applicable Special
Settlement Date, then
64
interest shall be calculated in accordance with clause (ii) from such Special
Settlement Date until the end of the related Special Settlement Date Accrual
Period. Interest payable under this Section 2.17(b) shall be payable on the next
Settlement Date. Beginning with the first Settlement Date after any Special
Settlement Date, interest with respect to the Receivables purchased on such
Special Settlement Date shall be calculated in accordance with paragraph (a)
above.
(c) If all or any portion of any amount (including interest)
payable by the Seller hereunder shall not be paid when due, such overdue amount
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Note Rate plus 1% (the
----
"Default Rate") from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in
------------
full (after as well as before judgment). The Outstanding Purchase Price shall
bear interest pursuant to, and at the times specified in, subsection 8.2(a) for
each day during an Accrual Period at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate
until the Outstanding Purchase Price is reduced to zero (after as well as before
judgment). Any amount payable pursuant to this subsection 2.17(c) shall be
payable on each Settlement Date (other than a Special Settlement Date), or on
demand after any judgment. To the extent that the Outstanding Purchase Price has
not been reduced to zero on the date the Amortization Period ends pursuant to
clause (ii) of the definition of such term, interest shall accrue pursuant to
this subsection 2.17(c) regardless of whether the Seller shall be obligated to
pay Expense Amounts under subsection 2.18. Interest accruing pursuant to this
subsection 2.17(c) shall be payable from time to time on demand.
(d) During the period from and including the Amendment
Effective Date to the date on which the Revolving Period ends, a commitment fee
(a "Commitment Fee") shall be payable to the Managing Facility Agent for the
--------------
account of each Purchaser, payable monthly in arrears on each Settlement Date
(other than a Special Settlement Date) and computed at the rate per annum based
on Raytheon's Debt Rating in effect on such day, as set forth under the relevant
column heading below, on the actual daily amount of the Available Commitment of
such Purchaser during each Accrual Period ending prior to the Settlement Date on
which the Commitment Fee is paid, commencing on the first such Settlement Date
to occur after the Amendment Effective Date:
Debt Rating Commitment Fee
----------- --------------
BBB+ or the equivalent thereof or above 0.125%
BBB or the equivalent thereof 0.150%
BBB- or the equivalent thereof 0.175%
BB+ or the equivalent thereof 0.225%
Below BB+ or the equivalent thereof 0.375%
(e) The Seller agrees to pay (i) to the Managing Facility
Agent for its account the fees set forth in the Fee Letter, dated March 8, 2002,
among the Managing Facility Agent, the Seller and the Guarantor in the amounts
and on the dates set forth therein and (ii) to the Syndication Agent for its
account the fees set forth in the Fee Letter, dated February 7, 2002, among the
Syndication Agent, the Seller and the Guarantor in the amounts and on the dates
set forth therein.
65
(f) Interest and fees required to be paid under this
subsection 2.17 shall be payable regardless of whether sufficient Finance Charge
Collections therefore are on deposit in the Concentration Account on the date or
dates such interest or fees are required to be paid.
2.18 Yield Adjustment. If on any Settlement Date (other than a
----------------
Special Settlement Date) any Expense Amount is not paid in full on such
Settlement Date, then on such Settlement Date the Seller will pay to the
Managing Facility Agent for the account of each Purchaser the amounts required
to pay all such Expense Amounts in full provided, that the Seller's obligation
--------
under this subsection 2.18 in favor of any Purchaser in any calendar year shall
not exceed an amount equal to the product of the applicable Note Rate as of such
date times such Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase Price as of such date. The
Seller shall not be obligated to pay pursuant to this subsection 2.18 any
Expense Amounts which accrue after the date the Amortization Period ends;
provided that the Seller shall remain obligated to pay any Expense Amount which
--------
accrued prior to such date (whether or not claimed prior to such date) so long
as a claim for such Expense Amount is made prior to the times set forth in the
subsection hereof governing such Expense Amount.
2.19 Computations and Payments. (a) All amounts to be paid or
-------------------------
deposited by or on behalf of the Seller hereunder shall be paid or deposited in
accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the day when due in lawful money of the United States of America and in
immediately available funds. All computations of Commitment Fees, interest and
other fees and amounts payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of
360 days for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first but
excluding the last day). The Managing Facility Agent shall as soon as
practicable notify the Seller and the Purchasers of each determination of a LIBO
Rate or an Interbank Rate.
(b) Each determination of the Note Rate, the Interbank Rate or
the Default Rate by the Managing Facility Agent pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Seller and the Purchasers
in the absence of manifest error. The Managing Facility Agent shall, at the
request of the Seller, deliver to the Seller a statement showing the quotations
used by the Managing Facility Agent in determining the Note Rate for any Accrual
Period.
(c) If any Reference Bank's Commitment shall terminate for any
reason whatsoever, such Reference Bank shall thereupon cease to be a Reference
Bank, and if, as a result of the foregoing, there shall only be one Reference
Bank remaining, the Managing Facility Agent (after consultation with the Seller
and the Purchasers) shall, by notice to the Seller and the Purchasers, designate
another Purchaser as a Reference Bank so that there shall at all times be at
least two Reference Banks.
(d) Each Reference Bank shall use its best efforts to furnish
quotations of rates to the Managing Facility Agent to the extent contemplated by
the definition of "LIBO Rate". If any Reference Bank shall be unable or shall
otherwise fail to supply such rates to the Managing Facility Agent upon its
request, the LIBO Rate shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the
remaining Reference Banks or Reference Bank.
66
2.20 Pro Rata Treatment. (a) Except with respect to payments
------------------
to a Dissenting Purchaser pursuant to subsection 2.8(b)(ii) or 2.13(c), (i) each
purchase by the Purchasers hereunder, each payment by the Seller in respect of
the Commitment Fees and any reduction of the Commitments shall be made pro rata
--- ----
according to the respective Available Commitment Percentages of the Purchasers
and (ii) each payment by the Seller in respect of the Outstanding Purchase Price
and interest thereon and any repurchase of Receivables shall be made pro rata
--- ----
according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Purchasers. The
Managing Facility Agent shall distribute payments received by or on behalf of
the Seller to the Purchasers promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.
(b) Unless the Managing Facility Agent shall have been
notified in writing by any Purchaser prior to a Settlement Date that such
Purchaser will not make available to the Managing Facility Agent the amount that
would constitute its Available Commitment Percentage of the aggregate Purchase
Price to be paid on such date, the Managing Facility Agent may assume that such
Purchaser has made such amount available to the Managing Facility Agent on such
Settlement Date, and the Managing Facility Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Seller a corresponding amount. If such amount
is made available to the Managing Facility Agent on a date after such Settlement
Date, such Purchaser shall pay to the Managing Facility Agent on demand an
amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal funds rate during
such period as quoted by the Managing Facility Agent, times (ii) the amount of
such Purchaser's Available Commitment Percentage of such aggregate Purchase
Price, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that
elapse from and including such Settlement Date to the date on which such
Purchaser's Available Commitment Percentage of such aggregate Purchase Price
shall have become immediately available to the Managing Facility Agent and the
denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Managing Facility Agent
submitted to any Purchaser with respect to any amounts owing under this
subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such
Purchaser's Available Commitment Percentage of such aggregate Purchase Price is
not in fact made available to the Managing Facility Agent by such Purchaser
within three Business Days after such Settlement Date, then on the fourth
Business Day after such Settlement Date the Seller shall be deemed to have
repurchased participating interests in the Receivables in an amount equal to
such Purchaser's Available Commitment Percentage of the aggregate Purchase Price
paid on such Settlement Date, together with interest on such amount at the rate
per annum equal to the LIBO Rate, such repurchase to be made by a cash payment
to the Managing Facility Agent for its own account; provided that such
--------
repurchase shall not limit the rights of the Seller against the Purchaser which
failed to make available its Available Commitment Percentage of such aggregate
Purchase Price.
2.21 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein,
----------
if any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application
thereof shall make it unlawful for any Purchaser to make or maintain its
proportionate share of the Outstanding Purchase Price based on the LIBO Rate as
contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the Commitment of such Purchaser hereunder
to make purchases shall forthwith be canceled and (b) the Outstanding Purchase
Price of such Purchaser shall be paid on each Settlement Date thereafter as if
such Purchaser were a Dissenting Purchaser under subsection 2.8.
67
2.22 Requirements of Law. (a) In the event that any change in
-------------------
any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or
compliance by any Purchaser with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (each, a
"Change in Law") made subsequent to the date hereof (or with respect to a
-------------
Purchasing Party which becomes a party hereto pursuant to subsection 11.6(c),
made subsequent to the date such Purchasing Party became a party hereto) shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve,
special deposit or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
any Purchaser (except any such reserve requirement reflected
in the LIBO Rate); or
(ii) impose on any Purchaser or the London interbank
market any other condition affecting this Agreement or the
making of purchases or the maintaining of a proportionate
share of the Outstanding Purchase Price by such Purchaser;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Purchaser of making purchases or maintaining its proportionate share of the
Outstanding Purchase Price (or of maintaining its obligation to do any of the
foregoing) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
Purchaser hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Seller will pay to such Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Purchaser for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered.
(b) If any Purchaser determines that any Change in Law
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Purchaser's capital or on the capital of such Purchaser's
holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or such Purchaser's
obligations hereunder, to a level below that which such Purchaser or such
Purchaser's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration such Purchaser's policies and the policies of such
Purchaser's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to
time the Seller will pay to such Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Purchaser or such Purchaser's holding company for any such
reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Purchaser setting forth the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Purchaser or its holding company, as the
case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this subsection shall be
delivered to the Seller and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Seller shall pay such Purchaser the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Purchaser to demand
compensation pursuant to this subsection shall not constitute a waiver of such
Purchaser's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Seller shall
--------
not be required to compensate a Purchaser pursuant to this subsection for any
increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date
that such Purchaser notifies the Seller of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Purchaser's intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise
-------- -------
to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
68
then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof.
2.23 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or an account of any
-----
obligation of the Seller hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Seller
shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such
payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this subsection) the Managing Facility Agent,
Co-Administrative Agent or Purchaser (as the case may be) receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)
the Seller shall make such deductions and (iii) the Seller shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Seller shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) The Seller shall indemnify the Managing Facility Agent,
each Co-Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, within 10 days after written
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this subsection) paid by the Managing
Facility Agent, such Co-Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, as the case may
be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the
Seller by a Purchaser, or by the Managing Facility Agent on its own behalf or on
behalf of a Purchaser or a Co-Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes by the Seller to a Governmental Authority, the Seller shall
deliver to the Managing Facility Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Managing Facility Agent.
(e) Any Foreign Purchaser that is entitled to an exemption
from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which
the Seller is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with
respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Seller (with a
copy to the Managing Facility Agent), at the time or times prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Seller, such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
2.24 Reemployment Costs. The Seller agrees to indemnify each
------------------
Purchaser and to hold each Purchaser harmless from any loss or expense
(including, but not limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest
or fees payable by a Purchaser to lenders of funds obtained by it or them to
purchase or maintain an interest in the Purchased Receivables with respect to
69
which the Note Rate is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate) as a
consequence of (a) default by the Seller in the performance of its obligations
hereunder, (b) any reduction in the Outstanding Purchase Price prior to the last
day of any Settlement Period, (c) the failure of the Seller or the Servicer to
make any amounts available to the Managing Facility Agent when due hereunder or
(d) any expenses (excluding legal expenses) incurred by any Purchaser pursuant
to subsection 2.21. A certificate of such Purchaser submitted to the Seller
certifying, in reasonably specific detail, the basis for, calculation of and
amounts of such additional costs shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error. This covenant shall survive for a period of two years following the date
on which the Amortization Period ends.
2.25 Seller's Obligations Absolute and Unconditional. The
-----------------------------------------------
Seller's obligations under this Section 2 to make payments, deposits and
repurchases shall be absolute and unconditional and shall be performed without
regard to any set-off which the Seller at any time may have available to it.
2.26 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Purchaser. (a) If
------------------------------------------------
any Purchaser requests compensation under subsection 2.22, or if the Seller is
required to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Purchaser pursuant to subsection 2.23, then
such Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its purchases hereunder or to assign its rights
and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if,
in the judgment of such Purchaser, such designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to subsection 2.22 or 2.23, as the
case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Purchaser to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Purchaser. The Seller hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Purchaser in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) If any Purchaser requests compensation under subsection
2.22, or if the Seller is required to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser
or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser pursuant to
subsection 2.23, or if any Purchaser defaults in its obligation hereunder to
make purchases or maintain its proportionate share of the Outstanding Purchase
Price or if at any time after the Effective Date any Purchaser shall cause the
Managing Facility Agent to notify the Seller and the Servicer of a Prohibited
Jurisdiction, then the Seller may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice
to such Purchaser and the Managing Facility Agent, require such Purchaser to
assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in subsection 11.6), all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Purchaser, if a Purchaser accepts
such assignment); provided that (i) the Seller shall have received the prior
--------
written consent of the Managing Facility Agent, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Purchaser shall have received payment of an
amount equal to such Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase Price, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Seller (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any
such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under subsection 2.22 or
payments required to be made pursuant to subsection 2.23, such assignment will
result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) in the case of
any such assignment resulting from a request to add an additional Prohibited
Jurisdiction, such assignee will not request that such
70
jurisdiction be so categorized. A Purchaser shall not be required to make any
such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by
such Purchaser or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Seller to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
2.27 Designation of Affiliate Receivables and Foreign

in order to (1) perfect the transfer by Raytheon Credit to the Seller of such
Existing
75
Certified Receivable, the related Financed Aircraft and Applicable Lease (if
applicable) and Collections thereon in accordance with the Intercompany Purchase
Agreement and (2) continue the Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent of such

Lease (if applicable) and Collections thereon as a duly perfected Lien having
the same priority as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date and (y)
if any actions had been required in order to render the opinions set forth in

repurchase by depositing in the Concentration Account cash an amount for each
such Receivable equal to the amount set forth in clause (a) of the definition of
"Repurchase Price", calculated at the date such deposit is made, except to the
extent (without duplication) of any payment made pursuant to subsection 2.18,
for the Settlement Period during which such interest accrued and was not paid by
the Foreign Obligor under the related Contract. The amount of any such deposit
shall be applied and distributed in accordance with subsections 2.15 and 2.16.
Except as provided in subsection 9.1, the sole obligation of the Seller with
respect to a Receivable of the type described in this subsection 2.27(d) shall
be the requirement to repurchase or substitute for such Receivable pursuant to
this subsection 2.27(d).
SECTION 3. THE SERVICER AND SERVICING OF PURCHASED RECEIVABLES
3.1 Designation of Servicer; Removal. (a) The servicing,
---------------------------------
administering and collection of Purchased Receivables shall be conducted by such
Person (the "Servicer") so designated from time to time in accordance with this
--------
subsection 3.1. Until the Required Purchasers give notice to the Seller of the
designation of a new Servicer pursuant to subsection 3.1(b), Raytheon Credit is
hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations
of, the Servicer for the Purchased Receivables sold hereunder. The Servicer may,
with the prior consent of the Required Purchasers, subcontract with any other
Person to perform, in accordance with applicable laws, the servicing,
administering or collecting of Purchased Receivables, provided that the Servicer
--------
shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations of the
Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. With respect to the Existing Receivables,
the capacity of the Servicer shall be a continuation by Raytheon Credit of its
capacity as Servicer under and as defined in each of the Existing Agreements.
(b) At any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Specified Amortization Event, the Required Purchasers may
remove Raytheon Credit (or any successor Servicer) as the Servicer and appoint
as a successor Servicer any Person to succeed Raytheon Credit (or any successor
Servicer) as Servicer, on the condition that such successor Servicer agrees to
perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.
Any such removal of Raytheon Credit (or any successor Servicer) as the Servicer
shall not become
76
effective until such successor Servicer accepts its appointment and agrees to be
bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to the Servicer
in a writing satisfactory in form and substance to the Managing Facility Agent
and the Required Purchasers. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Managing
Facility Agent, the Purchasers and any successor Servicer if the Servicer is
terminated under this Agreement, including transferring to the successor
Servicer all cash amounts or documents or instruments relating to the Purchased
Receivables held by the Servicer at the time of its removal.
(c) The authorization of the Servicer under this Agreement
shall terminate when all the obligations under this Agreement have been paid in
full.
3.2 Duties of Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall take or cause
------------------
to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to administer,
service and collect each Purchased Receivable from time to time, all in
accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and
diligence, and solely in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. The
Seller, the Managing Facility Agent and each Purchaser each agrees that the
Servicer may enforce its rights and interests in and under the Purchased
Receivables and the Contracts and with respect to the Financed Aircraft. The
Servicer shall remit Collections in accordance with subsections 2.14 and 2.15(a)
and until such remittances are made, in the circumstance described in Section
2.15(a), without regard to the proviso, shall hold such Collections in trust for
the account of the Purchasers. The Servicer may not extend, amend or otherwise
modify the terms of any Purchased Receivable, or amend, modify or waive any term
or condition of any Contract related thereto, or extend, amend or otherwise
modify the rights of the Seller except (i) in accordance with subsection 7.1(b)
and (ii) if the Servicer is not then Raytheon Credit, with the Seller's prior
consent. No Servicer (if not Raytheon Credit) may commence or settle any legal
action to enforce collection of any Purchased Receivable without the prior
consent of the Required Purchasers. The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer (if
not the Seller) all computer tapes or disks and, upon the Managing Facility
Agent's request, all documents, instruments or other records which evidence or
relate to Purchased Receivables (the foregoing, the "Contract Files").
(b) The Servicer (if not Raytheon Credit) shall as soon as
practicable following receipt turn over to the Seller or any other party
entitled thereto the Collections on any Receivable which is not a Purchased
Receivable less all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses
of the Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such Receivable to
the extent not covered by the Servicing Fee received by it. The Servicer, if
other than the Seller, shall as soon as practicable upon demand deliver to the
Seller all documents, instruments and records in its possession which evidence
or relate to Receivables other than Purchased Receivables, and copies of
documents, instruments and records in its possession which evidence or relate to
Receivables other than Purchased Receivables. The Servicer unconditionally and
absolutely agrees to take any and all action requested by the Managing Facility
Agent in connection with the exercise by the Managing Facility Agent and the
Purchasers of their rights under subsection 8.2, 11.11, 11.12 or 11.13.
(c) With respect to any L/C Receivable the related letter of
credit of which expires on the last date of the Contract related thereto, the
Servicer shall prepare any drawing request required under such letter of credit
and, if the payment due under such Contract is not
77
made by the drawing deadline under such letter of credit, the Servicer shall
make a drawing thereunder. Further, if the expiration date of any letter of
credit related to any L/C Receivable is not extended when a Principal Balance of
such Receivable remains outstanding, the Servicer shall, or shall cause the
Seller or Raytheon Credit to, draw the aggregate available amount under such
letter of credit prior to the expiration thereof.
3.3 Servicer Reports. The Servicer shall deliver to the
----------------
Managing Facility Agent, with sufficient copies for each Purchaser:
(a) Within 45 days after the end of each of the first three
fiscal quarters of the Servicer, beginning with the first such quarter to end
after the Closing Date, a report with respect to such fiscal quarter, certified

or the Managing Facility Agent hereunder, the Seller shall not:

-----------------
otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or create or suffer to

amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Purchased

Affiliate of the Seller is then the Servicer) to do any of the
foregoing except in the normal course of the Seller's business and in
accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy or pursuant to
subsection 7.1(b)(iv)(x) (each, a "Modification"); provided that:
------------ --------
(i) any Modification made pursuant to this
subsection 7.1(b) shall be subject to the provisions of
subsection 2.12;
101
(ii) if an Amortization Event shall have occurred
and be continuing, no Modification shall be made without the
prior consent of the Required Purchasers if the effect thereof
would be to extend the then average life of the Purchased
Receivables taken as a whole, to reduce or increase the
Principal Balance of any Purchased Receivable or to reduce the
amount or rate of interest thereon or to cause the Stipulated
Aircraft Value under a Contract to be less than the
Outstanding Balance of the Receivable with respect to such
Contract;
(iii) if an Amortization Event shall have occurred
and be continuing, no Modification shall be made without the
prior consent of each Purchaser if the effect thereof would be
to extend the Final Payment Date of a Receivable beyond the
then latest Final Payment Date of all Purchased Receivables;
(iv) the Seller shall not modify the payment terms
of any Purchased Receivable except (x) in accordance with the
Credit and Collection Policy, except that, (A) with respect to
any GA Receivable, the Seller shall not modify the payment
terms of any such Purchased Receivable more than once after
the Closing Date or Settlement Date on which such Receivable
is sold or substituted pursuant to this Agreement or an
Existing Agreement, and (B) with respect to a Commuter
Receivable, (1) no more than an aggregate of 12 monthly
principal payments may be deferred during the term of any
Contract and (2) subject to the immediately following
sentence, the Final Payment Date may not be extended by more

prevent a possible default by the Obligor under any Contract
or in order to enhance the collectibility of any Receivable,
defer any scheduled payment of principal, in part or in whole,
to a later scheduled payment date under such Contract. If,
after giving effect to the extension of the Final Payment Date
of a Purchased Receivable pursuant to clause (iv)(x)(B)(2) of
the foregoing proviso, such extended Final Payment Date
exceeds, (I) so long as no Rating Event has occurred and is
continuing, 13 years from the date of such extension and, (II)
during the continuance of a Rating Event, 10 years from the
date of such extension, then on the immediately following
Settlement Date (or if such date is a Settlement Date, then on
such date) the Seller shall deposit in the Concentration
Account an amount equal to the aggregate Principal Collections
then scheduled to be paid after such 13th year or 10th year,
as the case may be, plus, if a Trigger Amortization Event has
occurred and is continuing, accrued and unpaid interest on the
amount so deposited at the rate under the related Contract
except to the extent (without duplication) of any payment made
pursuant to subsection 2.18 for the Settlement Period during
which such interest accrued and was not paid by the Obligor
under such Contract. The amount of any such deposit shall be
applied and distributed in accordance with subsections 2.15
and 2.16 provided, however, that any Purchased Receivable so
-------- -------
modified shall be deemed an Extended Term Receivable for
purposes of subsection 2.15;
102
(v) any Modification made in accordance with this
subsection 7.1(b) shall not cause the Principal Balance of the
applicable Purchased Receivable to exceed 50% of the Low
Wholesale Value of the related Financed Aircraft; and
(vi) the Seller shall not make any Modification
which permits the transfer of registered ownership in any
Financed Aircraft without the consent of the Required
Purchasers, unless after giving effect to such transfer (and
any payments made under the Contract at the time of transfer)
the related Receivable would satisfy on the date of transfer
the criteria contained in the definition of Eligible
Receivable; provided that the provisions of this subsection
--------
7.1(b)(vi) shall not apply to a transfer by an Obligor to a
wholly-owned Affiliate of such Obligor.
(c) Change in Business or Credit and Collection Policy. Make
--------------------------------------------------
any material change in the character of its business or,
without the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers, notify
any Obligor to remit payments to a location other than that to which
such payment would be remitted on the Closing Date; make any change in
the Credit and Collection Policy without prior notice to the Managing
Facility Agent and each Purchaser; provided that, without the prior
--------
consent of the Required Purchasers, the Seller shall not make or
permit to be made any such change to the Credit and Collection Policy
if such change could reasonably be expected to materially adversely
affect the collectibility or maturity of any Purchased Receivable or
the interests of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers in any
Purchased Receivable, the related Contract and Financed Aircraft or
the Collections with respect thereto.
(d) No Actions against Obligors. Except in accordance with
---------------------------
the Credit and Collection Policy, commence or settle any legal action
to enforce collection of any Purchased Receivable.

------------------------------------
or in part, any Financed Aircraft, or any other collateral securing or
guarantee of the related Contract (including, but not limited to, any
letter of credit related thereto issued in favor of the Seller), from
the security interest granted by such Contract except, that, the
------ ----
Seller may or may permit the Servicer to, at its or the Servicer's own
expense, (x) substitute engines in accordance with subsection 7.1(j)
and (y) substitute other parts (other than airframes) for any of the
parts on any Financed Aircraft as Seller or Servicer may deem
desirable in the proper conduct of its business; provided, however,
-------- -------
that for purposes of this clause (y), (i) no such substitution(s),
individually or in the aggregate, shall diminish the utility or
remaining useful life of such Financed Aircraft, or materially
diminish the value, or impair the condition or airworthiness, thereof,
below the utility, remaining useful life, condition, airworthiness, or
value thereof immediately prior to such substitution, (ii) no such
substitution shall affect adversely the Lien on such Financed Aircraft
(other than the removed avionics) in favor of the Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the Purchasers (as such Lien was in effect
immediately prior to such substitution), (iii) the Administrative
Agent shall have a Lien on the substitute parts with a priority no
less than the priority of the Lien in favor of the Administrative
Agent on the removed parts and (iv) the new part shall not be subject
to any Liens other than Permitted Aircraft Liens.
103

Aircraft, the Lien thereon of the Administrative Agent on behalf of

Person's rights in any matter with respect to which the Seller has actually
reimbursed such Indemnified Person for any amounts for which the Indemnified
Person claims indemnification hereunder after the Amortization Period ends.

Agent shall be deemed to include any action taken by the Managing Facility Agent
pursuant to a power of attorney granted by the Old Administrative Agent in favor

responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care.
10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Managing Facility
-----------------------
Agent, each Administrative Agent, nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a)
liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person
under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Purchase Document
(except for its or such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or
(b) responsible in any manner to any of the Purchasers for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties made by the Seller, the Servicer or

either Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any
other Purchase Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Purchase Document
or for any failure of the Seller, the Servicer or Raytheon to perform their
respective obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Managing Facility Agent and

agreements contained in, or conditions of (except delivery to it of items
required by Section 5 hereof to be delivered to it), this Agreement or any other
Purchase Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Seller,
the Servicer or Raytheon. Without limiting the foregoing, the Old Administrative
Agent shall not have any liability for (i) any action, or omission to act, which
is made in accordance with the instructions of the Managing Facility Agent or
(ii) the failure to act if it has not received any instructions from the
Managing Facility Agent.
10.4 Reliance by Managing Facility Agent and
---------------------------------------
Administrative Agent. The Managing Facility Agent and each Administrative Agent
--------------------
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram,
telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other
document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the
Seller, the Servicer or Raytheon), independent accountants and other experts
selected by the Managing Facility Agent or such Administrative Agent. The
Managing Facility Agent and each Administrative Agent shall be fully justified
in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other
Purchase Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of
the Majority Purchasers as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified
to its satisfaction by the Purchasers against any and all liability and expense
which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any
116
such action. The Managing Facility Agent and each Administrative Agent shall in
all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this

------------------------
Facility Agent nor any Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of an Amortization Event, Discount Event, Rating Event,
Remittance Event or Ineligibility Event (each, an "Occurrence") hereunder unless
----------
the Managing Facility Agent has received notice from a Purchaser, the Seller,
the Servicer, RAC or Raytheon referring to this Agreement, describing such
Occurrence and stating that such notice is a notice thereof. In the event that
the Managing Facility Agent receives such a notice, the Managing Facility Agent
shall promptly give notice thereof to the Purchasers. The Managing Facility
Agent shall take such action with respect to any Amortization Event as shall be
reasonably directed by the Majority Purchasers; provided that unless and until
--------
the Managing Facility Agent shall have received such directions, the Managing
Facility Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain
from taking such action, with respect to any such Amortization Event as it shall
deem advisable in the best interests of the Purchasers.
10.6 Non-Reliance on Managing Facility Agent, the
--------------------------------------------
Administrative Agent, the Co-Administrative Agents and the Purchasers. Each
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchaser expressly acknowledges that neither the Managing Facility Agent,
either Administrative Agent, the Co-Administrative Agents nor any of their
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made
any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Managing Facility
Agent, either Administrative Agent or the Co-Administrative Agents hereafter
taken, including any review of the affairs of the Seller, the Servicer or
Raytheon, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
Managing Facility Agent, either Administrative Agent or the Co-Administrative
Agents to any Purchaser. Each Purchaser represents to the Managing Facility
Agent, each Administrative Agent and the Co-Administrative Agents that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Managing Facility Agent, either
Administrative Agent, the Co-Administrative Agents or any other Purchaser, and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Seller, the Servicer
and Raytheon and made its own decision to make its purchases hereunder and enter
into this Agreement. Each Purchaser also represents that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Managing Facility Agent, either Administrative
Agent or the Co-Administrative Agents or any Purchaser, and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking
action under this Agreement and the other Purchase Documents, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Seller, the Servicer and Raytheon. Except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly required to be furnished to the Purchasers by the Managing
Facility Agent hereunder, neither the Managing Facility Agent, either
Administrative Agent nor the Co-Administrative Agents shall have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Purchaser with any credit or other information
concerning the
117
business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or
creditworthiness of the Seller or Raytheon which may come into the possession of
the Managing Facility Agent, either Administrative Agent or the
Co-Administrative Agents or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
10.7 Indemnification. The Purchasers agree to indemnify
---------------
the Managing Facility Agent and each Administrative Agent in its capacity as
such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller or Raytheon and without
limiting the obligation of the Seller or Raytheon to do so), ratably according
to the respective amounts of their Commitments, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time
(including, without limitation, at any time after the Outstanding Purchase Price
is reduced to zero) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Managing
Facility Agent or either Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising
out of this Agreement, any other Purchase Document or any documents contemplated
by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Managing Facility Agent or either
Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided
--------
that no Purchaser shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Managing Facility
Agent's or either Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The agreements in this subsection shall survive the reduction of the Outstanding
Purchase Price to zero and payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.
10.8 Managing Facility Agent and Administrative Agent in
---------------------------------------------------
Their Individual Capacities. The Managing Facility Agent and each Administrative
---------------------------
Agent and their respective Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from
and generally engage in any kind of business with the Seller, the Servicer, RAC
and Raytheon and their Affiliates as though the Managing Facility Agent were not
the Managing Facility Agent, or such Administrative Agent was not an
Administrative Agent, hereunder and under the other Purchase Documents. With
respect to purchases made by it, the Managing Facility Agent and each
Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement
and the other Purchase Documents as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as
though it were not the Managing Facility Agent or an Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, and the terms "Purchaser" and "Purchasers" shall include the
Managing Facility Agent and each Administrative Agent, each in its individual
capacity.
10.9 Successor Managing Facility Agent or Administrative
---------------------------------------------------
Agent. The Managing Facility Agent may resign as Managing Facility Agent upon 30
-----
days' notice to the Purchasers and such resignation shall be effective upon the
earlier of (i) the expiration of such 30 day notice period and (ii) the
appointment of a successor Managing Facility Agent pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 10.9.; provided that, if a successor Managing Facility Agent shall
-------- ----
not have been appointed prior to the end of such 30 day notice period, the
Managing Facility Agent shall remain the Administrative Agent until a successor
Managing Facility Agent is appointed in accordance with this Section 10.9. If
the Managing Facility Agent shall resign as Managing Facility Agent under this
Agreement and the other Purchase Documents, then the Required Purchasers shall
appoint from among the Purchasers a successor agent for the Purchasers, which
successor agent shall, subject to the consent of the Seller and Raytheon (which
118
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), succeed to the rights, powers and
duties of the Managing Facility Agent including its rights powers and duties as
Administrative Agent hereunder, and the term "Managing Facility Agent" shall
mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former
Managing Facility Agent's rights, powers and duties as Managing Facility Agent
and as an Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further
act or deed on the part of such former Managing Facility Agent or any of the
parties to this Agreement or any holder of an Assignment. After any retiring
Managing Facility Agent's resignation as Managing Facility Agent, the provisions
of this subsection shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while it was Managing Facility Agent under this Agreement and
the other Purchase Documents. The rights, obligations and duties of the Old
Administrative Agent shall be governed by the terms and provisions of the
letters, dated as of March 9, 2001 and March 8, 2002, among the Old
Administrative Agent, Raytheon, Raytheon Credit and the Managing Facility Agent.

Purchasers, the Seller, the Servicer, RAC, or Raytheon hereunder or thereunder
or waiving, on such terms and conditions as the Managing Facility Agent may

other Purchase Documents; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such
-------- -------

Purchaser or extend the Expiration Date or reduce the rate or amount of interest
or any fee payable to any Purchaser hereunder or extend (beyond the applicable

the definition of "Aggregate Repurchase Obligation" or amend subsection 2.10(b)
or any definition contained therein if the effect thereof is to decrease the
RARC Repurchase Obligation, (ix) amend, modify or waive any provision of
subsection 2.6, 2.18, 2.20(a) or
119
11.7(a), or (x) amend the definition of "Purchase Price", without, in each case
specified in this clause (b), the written consent of all the Purchasers, or (c)
amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10 without the written consent
of the then Managing Facility Agent or (d) waive any Amortization Event
(including, any Trigger Amortization Event, any Specified Amortization Event or

consent of the Required Purchasers. Any such waiver and any such amendment,
supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Purchasers and
shall be binding upon the Seller, the Servicer, the Purchasers and the Managing
Facility Agent. In the case of any waiver, the Seller, the Servicer, RAC,
Raytheon, the Purchasers and the Managing Facility Agent shall be restored to
their former position and rights hereunder and under any other Purchase
Documents, and any Amortization Event (including, any Trigger Amortization
Event, any Specified Amortization Event or any Note Rate Amortization Event)
waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Amortization Event, Trigger Amortization
Event, Specified Amortization Event or Note Rate Amortization Event, or impair
any right consequent thereon.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Section 11.1 no
provision of the Agreement which affects the rights or obligations of the Old
Administrative Agent shall be amended without the written consent of the Old
Administrative Agent.

contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver
or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Purchase Documents

-----------

an "Indemnitee") with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from (i) the
----------
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (ii) legal
proceedings commenced against such Indemnitee by any security holder or creditor
thereof arising out of and based upon rights afforded any such security holder
or creditor solely in its capacity as such, or (iii) legal proceedings commenced

agreements in this subsection shall survive the completion of the Amortization
Period.
11.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing
--------------------------------------------------
Parties.
-------
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Seller, the Purchasers, the Co-Administrative Agents, the
Managing Facility Agent, the Administrative Agent and their respective
successors and assigns, except that (i) the Seller may not assign or transfer
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the Managing Facility Agent, the Administrative Agent and each
Purchaser and (ii) certain governmental authorities in foreign jurisdictions may
require the completion of certain
122
procedures in order for any such assignment to be effective with respect to the
Foreign Receivables and the Affiliate Receivables.
(b) Any Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its
commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time
sell to one or more banks or other entities ("Participants") participating
------------
interests in such Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase Price, the Commitment of such
Purchaser or any other interest of such Purchaser hereunder and under the other
Purchase Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Purchaser of
participating interests to a Participant, such Purchaser's obligations under
this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such
Purchaser shall be the "Purchaser" for all purposes under this Agreement and the
other Purchase Documents, and the Seller and the Managing Facility Agent shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such
Purchaser's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Purchase
Documents. The Seller agrees that, upon the occurrence and continuance of a
Rating Event and an Amortization Event of the type described in subsection
8.1(a), (b), (i) or (j), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of
setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this
Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were
owing directly to it as a Purchaser under this Agreement; provided that such
--------
Participant shall only be entitled to such right of setoff pursuant to this
sentence if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall
have acquired its participating interest to share with the Purchasers the
proceeds thereof as provided in subsection 11.7. The Seller also agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.22, 2.23 and
2.24 and 11.5 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the
Outstanding Purchase Price; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to
--------
receive any greater amount pursuant to such subsections than the transferor
Purchaser would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the
participation transferred by such transferor Purchaser to such Participant had
no such transfer occurred. Promptly after the sale of any such participation,
the selling Purchaser shall give the Managing Facility Agent, Servicer and
Seller notice of the amount sold and the identity of the Participant.
(c) Any Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its
commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time
sell to any Purchaser or any affiliate thereof and, with the consent of the
Seller and the Managing Facility Agent (which in each case shall not be
unreasonably withheld), to one or more additional financial institutions (each,
a "Purchasing Party") all or any part of such Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase
----------------
Price, the Commitment of such Purchaser or any other interest of such Purchaser
hereunder and under the other Purchase Documents; provided that such assignment
--------
shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 unless such assignment is to a
financial institution not then a party to this Agreement, in which case such
assignment shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000. Each such assignment
shall be made pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such
Purchasing Party, such Transferor Purchaser and, in the case of a Purchasing
Party that is not then a Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof, by the Seller and
the Managing Facility Agent, and delivered to the Managing Facility Agent for
its acceptance and recording in the Register. Any SPC may, without obtaining
any consent hereunder, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Purchased
Receivable under this Agreement to its SPC Bank, its Liquidity Bank or another
SPC
123
managed by the same SPC Bank as such SPC or any other SPC Bank hereunder. Each
such assignment shall be made pursuant to written notice (a "Transfer Notice")
---------------
delivered to the Managing Facility Agent for recording in the Register. Upon
the execution, delivery, acceptance (if required) and recording of any Transfer
Notice or Commitment Transfer Supplement, as the case may be, from and after the
Transfer Effective Date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer
Supplement (or after the effective date set forth in the Transfer Notice), (x)
the Purchasing Party thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent
provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement (or such Transfer Notice, as the
case may be), have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser hereunder with a
Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the transferor Purchaser thereunder
shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement (or such
Transfer Notice, as the case may be), be released from its obligations under
this Agreement (and, in the case of a Commitment Transfer Supplement, or
Transfer Notice, as the case may be, covering all or the remaining portion of a
transferor Purchaser's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
transferor Purchaser shall cease to be a party hereto). Such Commitment Transfer
Supplement (or such Transfer Notice, as the case may be) shall be deemed to
amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect
the addition of such Purchasing Party and the resulting adjustment of Commitment
Percentages or Available Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by
such Purchasing Party of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such
transferor Purchaser under this Agreement.
(d) The Managing Facility Agent shall maintain at its
address referred to in subsection 11.2 a copy of each Commitment Transfer
Supplement and each Transfer Notice delivered to it and a register (the
"Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers and
--------
the Commitment of, and proportionate share of the Outstanding Purchase Price
from time to time payable to, each Purchaser from time to time. The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the
Seller, the Managing Facility Agent and the Purchasers may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as the holder of the Commitment recorded
therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Seller, the Servicer or any Purchaser at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Managing Facility
Agent.
(e) Upon its receipt of a Commitment Transfer Supplement
or a Transfer Notice executed by a transferor Purchaser and Purchasing Party
(and, in the case of a Purchasing Party that is not then a Purchaser or an
Affiliate thereof, by the Seller and the Managing Facility Agent) and, except in
the case of a transfer from an SPC to its Liquidity Bank, payment by the
transferor Purchaser or the Purchasing Party of a servicing fee of $3,500 to the
Managing Facility Agent, the Managing Facility Agent shall (i) promptly accept
such Commitment Transfer Supplement or Transfer Notice, as the case may be, and
(ii) on the Transfer Effective Date determined pursuant thereto record the
information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance
and recordation to the Seller, such transferor Purchaser and such Purchasing
Party.
(f) The Seller authorizes each Purchaser to disclose to
any Participant or Purchasing Party (each, a "Transferee") and any prospective
----------
Transferee any and all financial information in such Purchaser's possession
concerning the Seller and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such
Purchaser by or on behalf of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or which has
been delivered to such Purchaser by or on behalf of the Seller in connection
with such
124
Purchaser's credit evaluation of the Seller and its Affiliates prior to becoming
a party to this Agreement; provided that such Transferee or such prospective
--------
Transferee shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality
provisions as a Purchaser with respect to all information delivered hereunder.
(g) If, pursuant to this subsection, any interest in this
Agreement is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of
any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof, the
transferor Purchaser shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to represent to the transferor Purchaser
(for the benefit of the transferor Purchaser, the Managing Facility Agent,
Raytheon, RAC, the Servicer and the Seller) that under applicable law and
treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Managing Facility
Agent, the Seller, Raytheon, RAC, the Servicer or the transferor Purchaser with
respect to any payments to be made to such Transferee in respect of the
Outstanding Purchase Price, (ii) to furnish to the transferor Purchaser (and, in
the case of any Purchasing Party registered in the Register, the Managing
Facility Agent and the Seller) (A) either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN or U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (wherein such Transferee
claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on
all interest payments hereunder) and (B) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or
W-9 and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the transferor Purchaser, the
Managing Facility Agent, Raytheon, RAC and the Seller) to provide the transferor
Purchaser (and, in the case of any Purchasing Party registered in the Register,
the Managing Facility Agent and the Seller) a new Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or
Form W-8 or W-9, if applicable, upon the expiration or obsolescence of any
previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with
applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed
by such Transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S.
laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.
(h) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Purchaser from
pledging or assigning its interests hereunder to any Federal Reserve Bank in
accordance with applicable law or prohibit any SPC from pledging or assigning
its interests hereunder to its SPC Bank.
11.7 Adjustments; Set-off.
--------------------
(a) If any Purchaser (a "Benefitted Purchaser") shall at
--------------------
any time receive any payment of all or part of its Outstanding Purchase Price,
or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of
the nature referred to in subsection 8.1(j) or pursuant to the Guarantee, the
Repurchase Agreement or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such
payment to or collateral received by any other Purchaser, if any, in respect of
such other Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase Price, or interest payable thereon,
such Benefitted Purchaser shall purchase for cash from the other Purchasers such
portion of each such other Purchaser's Outstanding Purchase Price, or shall
provide such other Purchasers with the benefits of any such collateral, or the
proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Purchaser to
share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with
each of the Purchasers; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such
-------- -------
excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted
Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the Purchase Price and benefits
returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Seller
agrees that each Purchaser so purchasing a portion of another Purchaser's
Outstanding
125
Purchase Price may exercise all rights of payment (including, without
limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such
Purchaser were the direct holder of such portion.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the
Purchasers provided by law, each Purchaser shall have the right, without prior
notice to the Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by the Seller to
the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and continuance of a
Rating Event or an Amortization Event of the type described in subsection
8.1(a), (b), (i) or (j), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such
amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any
currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Purchaser or any branch
or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Seller. Each
Purchaser agrees promptly to notify the Seller and the Managing Facility Agent
after any such set-off and application made by such Purchaser, provided that the
--------
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application.
11.8 Responsibilities of the Seller. Anything herein to
------------------------------
the contrary notwithstanding:
(a) the Seller shall perform all of its obligations under
Contracts related to the Purchased Receivables to the same extent as
if such Purchased Receivables had not been sold hereunder and the
exercise by either Administrative Agent or the Managing Facility Agent
or any Purchaser of any of their rights hereunder shall not relieve
the Seller from such obligations or its obligations with respect to
such Purchased Receivables; and
(b) neither Administrative Agent, nor the Managing
Facility Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any obligation or
liability with respect to any Purchased Receivables or the related
Contracts or Financed Aircraft, nor shall any of them be obligated to
perform any of the obligations of the Seller thereunder.
11.9 Optional Repurchase. If the Outstanding Purchase
-------------------
Price at any time during the Amortization Period is less than 10% of the maximum
Outstanding Purchase Price at any time during the Revolving Period, then on any
Settlement Date thereafter the Seller may, by 10 days prior irrevocable notice
to the Managing Facility Agent, repurchase the ownership interests in the
Purchased Receivables by payment to the Managing Facility Agent for the account
of the Purchasers of an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Outstanding Purchase
Price on such Settlement Date, (ii) interest accrued to such Settlement Date and
(iii) all other amounts payable to the Managing Facility Agent and the
Purchasers under this Agreement.
11.10 Reassignments. (a) The Purchasers (or a Dissenting
-------------
Purchaser, as the case may be) shall assign (subject to the Purchasers' right to
receive Net Recoveries in certain circumstances as described herein) to the
Seller all their (or its) ownership interests in any Purchased Receivable (or
portion thereof) sold hereunder (i) which has been repurchased pursuant to
subsection 2.8(b) or 2.13(c) (in the case of repurchases from a Dissenting
Purchaser) or subsection 2.7(b), 2.10A, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, or 11.9 (in all other
cases) or for which an indemnity in an amount satisfactory to the Managing
Facility Agent and the Purchasers has been
126
paid pursuant to subsection 9.1(a)(vi) or 9.1(a)(xii) or (ii) when the Principal
Balance of any such Purchased Receivable has been reduced to zero. In connection
with reassignments pursuant to this subsection 11.10(a), the Managing Facility
Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall promptly execute and
deliver to the Seller, at the Seller's expense, such documents and instruments
of reassignment as the Seller may reasonably request.
(b) With respect to any Contract for which all amounts
outstanding thereunder (including accrued interest) are paid prior to the Final
Payment Date of such Contract, and upon receipt by the Managing Facility Agent
of certification by the Servicer of such prepayment in full, the Administrative
Agent agrees to execute such documents and instruments (including releases of
security interests) for recording and filing with the FAA Registry which are
necessary to release the Lien on the related Financed Aircraft as a result of
such prepayment in full. In order to facilitate the business operations of the
Seller and the Servicer, the Administrative Agent may provide the Servicer with
a limited number of executed releases; provided that, the Servicer shall not
--------
file any such release without the written consent of the Managing Facility
Agent; provided further that, the Servicer shall promptly return all such
-------- -------
releases to the Managing Facility Agent upon the occurrence of an Amortization
Event or if the Managing Facility Agent shall so request. With respect to any
substitution of Lease Receivables made pursuant to subsection 2.13(e), the
Administrative Agent agrees to execute such documents and instruments (including
releases of security interests) for recording and filing with the FAA Registry
which are necessary (i) to release the Lien on the lease related to the Replaced
Lease Receivable so long as, prior to or concurrently with the recording and
filing with the FAA Registry of any such document or instrument of release, the
conditions contained in subsection 5.2(e) with respect to the lease and the
Financed Aircraft related to the Substituted Lease Receivable substituted for
such Replaced Lease Receivable have been satisfied and (ii) if amounts are
required to be paid pursuant to subsection 2.13(e) because the Outstanding
Balance of the Replaced Lease Receivable is greater than the Purchase Price of
the Substituted Lease Receivable at the time the substitution occurs have been
so paid, to release the Financed Aircraft related to such Replaced Lease
Receivable. Each Purchaser authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute such
documents and instruments in accordance with this subsection 11.10(b) and with
respect to Foreign Receivables and Affiliate Receivables, except for Uncertified
Foreign Receivables, to take whatever action is necessary to release any Liens
in accordance with the intent of this subsection 11.10(b).
(c) In connection with any Receivable not purchased by
the Purchasers hereunder for which an FAA Assignment was filed with respect to
the related Financed Aircraft, the Administrative Agent agrees to promptly
execute such documents and instruments for recording and filing with the FAA
Registry which are necessary to reassign to the Seller the interests covered by
such FAA Assignment in such Financed Aircraft and to take whatever actions with
respect to any Foreign Receivable and any Affiliate Receivables are necessary to
effect a reassignment in the applicable foreign jurisdictions.
(d) The Purchasers shall assign (subject to the
Purchasers' right to receive Net Recoveries in certain circumstances as
described herein) to Raytheon all of their ownership interests in any Receivable
(or portion thereof) purchased by Raytheon pursuant to paragraph 2(e) of the
Guarantee. In addition, the Purchasers shall assign (subject to the Purchasers'
right to receive Net Recoveries in certain circumstances as described herein) to
RAC all of their
127
ownership interests in any Receivable (or portion thereof) purchased by RAC
pursuant to Section 2 of the Repurchase Agreement. In connection with
reassignments pursuant to this subsection 11.10(d), the Managing Facility Agent,
the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall promptly execute and deliver
to Raytheon or RAC, as appropriate, such documents and instruments of
reassignment as Raytheon or RAC, as the case may be, may reasonably request.
(e) All reassignments by the Managing Facility Agent, the
Administrative Agent and the Purchasers pursuant to this Section 11.10 shall be
made without any recourse, representation or warranty whatsoever.
11.11 Intention of the Parties; Lien on Intercompany
----------------------------------------------
Purchase Agreement. (a) It is expressly intended that each purchase hereunder
------------------
be, and be construed as, an absolute sale of the Purchased Receivables by the
Seller to the Purchasers conveying good title thereto free and clear of any
Lien, and that the Purchased Receivables not be part of the estate of the Seller
in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller. It is further expressly
intended that such conveyance not be deemed a pledge of the Purchased Receivable
by the Seller to the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Purchasers to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller.
However, in the event that the Purchased Receivables are held to be the property
of the Seller, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed not
to effect an absolute sale of the Purchased Receivables, then (i) the parties
hereto intend that the extensions of credit from the Purchasers to the Seller
shall be a loan in a principal amount equal to the then Outstanding Purchase
Price with interest payable thereon pursuant to subsection 2.17, (ii) the
parties hereto intend that this Agreement constitute a security agreement and
(iii) the Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Purchasers, as collateral security for all of the obligations of
the Seller and Raytheon Credit hereunder, a first priority security interest in
all of the right, title and interest of the Seller whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, in and to:
(A) all accounts, contract rights, general
intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, proceeds
of a letter of credit and money consisting of, arising from,
constituting or relating to the Purchased Receivables
(including, without limitation, amounts from time to time on
deposit in the Cash Collateral Account or the Concentration
Account);
(B) all of the Seller's rights in, under and to
the Contracts and its interest in the related Financed
Aircraft, including any security interests in such Financed
Aircraft, and the Applicable Leases;
(C) all accounts, contract rights, general
intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents and money
and other rights arising from or by virtue of or constituting
the Collections; and
(D) all proceeds of the collateral described in
the foregoing clauses A, B and C (clauses A through D,
collectively, the "Receivables Collateral").
----------------------
(b) In connection with the transfer of the Receivables
Collateral as aforesaid (whether or not such transfer constitutes a sale or the
grant of a Lien) the Seller hereby grants to
128
the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers, as
collateral security for all of the obligations of the Seller and Raytheon Credit
hereunder, a first priority security interest in all of the right, title and
interest of the Seller, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the
Intercompany Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation
of Raytheon Credit to make repurchases thereunder (together with the Receivables
Collateral, the "Collateral").
----------
(c) In connection herewith, if this Agreement is held or
deemed not to effect on absolute sale of the Purchased Receivables to the
Purchasers, the Managing Facility Agent and each Purchaser shall have all the
rights and remedies of a secured party and a creditor under the UCC and all
other applicable laws in each relevant jurisdiction. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Trigger Amortization Event, if this Agreement is held or deemed not to effect an
absolute sale of the Purchased Receivables to the Purchasers, with the consent
of the Required Purchasers the Managing Facility Agent may, or at the direction
of the Required Purchasers, the Managing Facility Agent shall, by notice to the
Seller, declare the Outstanding Purchase Price to be immediately due and
payable, whereupon such amount shall become immediately due and payable and, at
such time or at any time after such declaration, the Administrative Agent,
without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred
to below) to or upon the Seller or any other Person (all and each of which
demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such
circumstances 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 any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one
or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's
board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser or elsewhere upon
such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may
deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of
any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any Purchaser 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 the Seller,
which right or equity is hereby waived or released. The Seller further agrees,
at the Administrative Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it
available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent
shall reasonably select, whether at the Seller's premises or elsewhere. The
Administrative Agent 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 or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the
Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers
hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such
order as the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion may elect, and
only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of
any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without
limitation, Section 9-610 of the UCC in the relevant jurisdiction, need the
Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Seller. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Seller waives all claims, damages and
demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser arising
out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed
sale or other disposition of
129
Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and
proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. The
Seller shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or
other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and
the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent
or any Purchaser to collect such deficiency. The Seller authorizes the
Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, at any time and from time to time, to
execute, in connection with the sale provided for in this subsection 11.11(c),
any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer
with respect to the Collateral.
(d) Each Administrative Agent's sole duty with respect to
the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its
possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC in the relevant jurisdiction or
otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as such Administrative
Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Managing
Facility Agent, either Administrative Agent, any Co-Administrative Agent, any
Purchaser nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents
shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part
of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation
to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Seller or
otherwise. Nothing in this subsection 11.11 shall be construed to prejudice any
rights the Purchasers have as purchasers or owners of the Purchased Receivables.
(e) The foregoing transfer, assignment, set-over and
conveyance does not constitute and is not intended to result in the creation or
an assumption by either Administrative Agent or any Purchaser of any obligation
of the Seller, the Servicer or any other Person in connection with the Purchased
Receivables or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including, without
limitation, any obligation to any Obligors or insurers, or in connection with
the Intercompany Purchase Agreement.
11.12 Leases; Grant of Security Interest. (a) The Seller
----------------------------------
agrees to perform and to cause each Affiliate Obligor to perform all its
respective obligations under (other than the payment by such Affiliate Obligor
of the rent payable under such Lease), and not to terminate or to permit
(voluntarily or involuntarily, whether during a bankruptcy case involving the
Seller or such Affiliate Obligor or otherwise) the termination of, any
Applicable Lease or any lease related to a Lease Receivable (other than in
connection with substitutions of Lease Receivables in accordance with subsection
2.13(e)) or the lease by an Obligor on an ExIm Bank Receivable (such leases,
collectively, the "Security Interest Leases") sold or substituted hereunder;
------------------------
provided that (i) if a Substituted Lease Receivable which is substituted on any
--------
day other than a Settlement Date in accordance with subsection 2.13(e) has a
Purchase Price less than the related Replaced Lease Receivable, the Seller
agrees to deposit into the Concentration Account on the Settlement Date
following such date of substitution (or, if a Remittance Event has occurred,
within two Business Days after such substitution) the difference between the
Outstanding Balance of such Replaced Lease Receivable and the Purchase Price of
such Substituted Lease Receivable and (ii) if such Security Interest Lease has
been declared to be in default, the Seller may terminate and may permit any
Affiliate Obligor to terminate, such Security Interest Lease if the Seller pays
on the date of termination to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Purchasers an amount equal to the aggregate amount of rent payable for the
remaining term under such Lease (including any interest thereon on amounts past
due), up to the then Outstanding Balance of the related Receivable together with
interest on such Outstanding Balance at the rate set forth in such
130
Lease Receivable or Applicable Lease related to such Affiliate Receivable for
the period from the last date of payment on such Receivable (all of the
foregoing, including any damages resulting from a breach of the foregoing,
collectively, the "Lease Obligations"). As collateral security for (i) the
-----------------
prompt and complete payment and performance of the Lease Obligations and (ii)
the agreement of the Seller not to reject or permit an Affiliate Obligor to
reject pursuant to 11 U.S.C. ss.365 any Lease after the occurrence of a
bankruptcy case involving the Seller or such Affiliate Obligor (and all other
Obligations under this Agreement) the Seller does hereby grant, bargain, sell,
assign, transfer, convey, mortgage, pledge, grant a security interest in and
confirm unto the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers
the following:
(A) each Financed Aircraft subject to a Security Interest
Lease, the related Receivable of which is sold or substituted
hereunder on the Closing Date or on any Settlement Date; and
(B) all proceeds thereof (clauses A and B, collectively,
the "Lease Collateral").
----------------
(b) In connection with the foregoing grant, the
Administrative Agent and each Purchaser shall have all the rights and remedies
of a secured party and a creditor under the UCC and all other applicable laws in
each relevant jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger Amortization Event,
the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand,
presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice
required by law referred to below) to or upon the Seller or any other Person
(all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby
waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and
realize upon the Lease 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 Lease Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of
the foregoing), in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at
any exchange, broker's board or office of the Administrative Agent or any
Purchaser or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable
and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future
delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any
Purchaser 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 Lease Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity
of redemption in the Seller, which right or equity is hereby waived or released.
The Seller further agrees, at the Administrative Agent's request, to assemble
the Lease Collateral, to the extent available to the Seller under applicable
law, and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the
Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Seller's premises
or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent 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 or safekeeping of any of the Lease Collateral or in any
way relating to the Lease Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent
and the Purchasers hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the
Lease Obligations, in such order as the Administrative Agent in its reasonable
discretion may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by
the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law,
including, without limitation, Section 9-610 of the
131
UCC in the relevant jurisdiction, need the Administrative Agent account for the
surplus, if any, to the Seller. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Seller waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the
Administrative Agent or any Purchaser arising out of the exercise by them of any
rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Lease
Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and
proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. The
Seller shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or
other disposition of the Lease Collateral are insufficient to pay the Lease
Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the
Administrative Agent or any Purchaser to collect such deficiency. The Seller
authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, at any time and from
time to time, to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in this
subsection 11.12(b), any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of
conveyance or transfer with respect to the Lease Collateral.
(c) Each Administrative Agent's sole duty with respect to the
custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Lease Collateral in its
possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC in the relevant jurisdiction or
otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as such Administrative
Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Managing
Facility Agent, any Administrative Agent, any Co-Administrative Agent or any
Purchaser nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents
shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part
of the Lease Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Lease Collateral upon the request
of the Seller or otherwise.
11.13 Power of Attorney. (a) The Seller hereby irrevocably
-----------------

thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful
