THE FACILITIES

2.1 The Loan Facility.

2.1.1 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Lenders agree to make available to the Borrower during the Availability Period a dollar loan facility in an amount equal to the Total Commitments (the “Loan Facility”). The Loan Facility shall be divided into five (5) tranches, each relating to one of the Aircraft, as set out in Schedule 1B (each, a “Tranche”).

2.1.2 The Borrower hereby irrevocably directs the Lenders, the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee to make payment of all Advances (other than Advances in respect of the Borrower Reimbursement Amounts) directly to the Aircraft Manufacturer in the manner contemplated by the Consent and Agreement.

2.3 Purpose.

2.3.1 On the Initial Advance Date, Lenders shall pay to Borrower the Borrower Reimbursement Amounts.

2.3.2 The Borrower shall not apply any amount borrowed by it under a Tranche towards the financing or refinancing of Pre Delivery Payments in respect of any aircraft other than the Aircraft to which that Tranche relates or for any other purpose except the purpose referred to in Section 2.3.1.

2.3.3 The Pre Delivery Payments are set out in Schedule 3 and are based on the Advance Payment Base Price as of the date hereof. If there shall be any adjustment to the Advance Payment Base Price for any Aircraft, subject to Section 10.6, the Borrower shall notify the Facility Agent thereof and shall deliver to the Facility Agent a revised Schedule 3 hereto, which revised schedule shall supersede and replace the then existing Schedule 3 hereto.

2.4 Monitoring. No Finance Party is bound to monitor or verify the application of any amount borrowed pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

3.1 Delivery of an Advance Request. Subject to Article VII (Conditions of Advance), the Borrower may utilize the Loan Facility by delivering to the Facility Agent a duly completed Advance Request not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third (3^rd) Business Day prior to the proposed Advance Date in relation to such Advance. The Facility Agent shall, promptly upon receipt of an Advance Request, send a copy thereof to each of the Lenders and the Security Trustee.

3.3.1 The amount specified for each Tranche in the Advance Request for the proposed Advance must be in an amount:

(a) in the case of the Initial Advance, equal to the Borrower Reimbursement Amount for such Tranche;

(b) in respect of any Advance (other than the Initial Advance) relating to the Tranche (i) for a Basic Aircraft (including any Doric Aircraft after a Doric Trigger Event), no greater than 80% of the related Pre Delivery Payment and (ii) for any Doric Aircraft (prior to a Doric Trigger Event), no greater than 100% of the related Pre Delivery Payment;

(c) no greater than the amount specified for such Tranche for the applicable Advance Date (i) prior to any Doric Trigger Event, Schedule 4 and (ii) on and after any Doric Trigger Event, Schedule 5;

(e) that shall not, when aggregated with all previous Advances made prior to the proposed Advance Date and all other Advances requested on the proposed Advance Date, cause the Total Commitments to be exceeded.

For the avoidance of doubt, an Advance shall not include any amount of interest payable by the Borrower to the Aircraft Manufacturer on account of the Advance being made on a date adjusted by the proviso in Section 3.2.2.

3.4.1 If the conditions precedent in relation to an Advance have been fulfilled or waived by the Facility Agent, each Lender shall make its participation in the relevant Advance available through its Facility Office.

3.4.2 The amount of each Lender’s participation in any Advance will be equal to the proportion borne by its Available Commitment to the Available Loan Facility immediately prior to making such Advance multiplied by the amount of such Advance. In no event shall a Lender be required to make a disbursement in excess of its Available Commitment.

3.4.3 The Facility Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Security Trustee of the amount of each Advance and each Lender’s participation therein promptly following receipt of the Borrower’s delivery to it of an Advance Request.

Facility Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

INTEREST

4.1 Calculation and Payment of Interest. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Security Trustee, for account of the Lenders, interest on each Advance on each Interest Payment Date, which interest shall accrue on each Advance in dollars for each Interest Period relating thereto in arrears at a percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of (a) LIBOR and (b) the Applicable Margin.

4.2 Interest Periods.

4.2.1 Each Interest Period relating to an Advance shall start on and include (in the case of the first such period) the Advance Date of such Advance or (in the case of each such subsequent period referable to such Advance) the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period referable thereto and end on but exclude the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

4.2.2 The Borrower shall, in respect of the Loans relating to an Aircraft, have the option of shortening the length of the Interest Period for such Loans during which the Scheduled Delivery Date for such Aircraft is scheduled to occur by delivering a Delivery Month Notice to the Facility Agent not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the end of the immediately preceding Interest Period; provided, that if Borrower does not deliver a Delivery Month Notice to the Facility Agent, the “Delivery Notice Date” for such Aircraft shall be its Scheduled Delivery Date. If a Delivery Month Notice is delivered in respect of any Aircraft, the Interest Period for the related Tranche shall end on the Delivery Notice Date for such Aircraft specified in such Delivery Month Notice, and the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower of the applicable LIBOR rate for such Interest Period. If, for any reason, the Delivery Date for any Aircraft does not take place on its Delivery Notice Date, subject in all cases to the indemnification obligations of the Borrower hereunder (including in respect of Break Amounts, if any), the Lenders shall rollover the Loans of the related Tranche to the new anticipated Delivery Date identified to the Facility Agent by the Borrower (the period from Delivery Notice Date to the Delivery Date being the “Stub Period”). In connection with any Interest Period ending on the Delivery Notice Date or any Stub Period that has a duration of less than one month, if the Facility Agent shall determine that the Lenders’ cost of funding for such Interest Period is higher than the prevailing one-month LIBOR, it shall notify the Borrower of the proposed rate based on the Lender’s cost of funding and the Borrower shall have the option of (i) accepting such proposed rate as the applicable LIBOR for such Interest Period, or (ii) requiring the Facility Agent to use one-month LIBOR for such Interest Period and paying all Break Amounts, if any, incurred by the Lenders in connection therewith (provided that no “positive” Break Amount resulting from the utilization of the option of this clause (ii) shall be payable to the Borrower by the Lenders).

4.3 Default Interest.

4.3.1 The Borrower agrees to pay to the Security Trustee, on demand, interest on any Unpaid Sum at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate from the due date of such Unpaid Sum up to the date of actual payment, both before, on and after judgment.

4.3.2 During an Event of Default that is continuing, the Facility Agent will divide the period beginning on the due date for the relevant Unpaid Amount and ending on the date of payment into successive Interest Periods of such length as it will decide in its discretion. Default interest payable under this Section 4.3 in relation to any Interest Period shall accrue at the Default Rate applicable to such Interest Period.

4.3.3 Notwithstanding Section 4.3.2, if the relevant Unpaid Sum is a principal amount of a Loan and becomes due and payable before the last day of its current Interest Period applicable to the relevant Loan, then:

(i) the first Interest Period for that Unpaid Sum will be the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period applicable to the relevant Loan; and

(ii) the Interest Period used to determine the Default Rate applicable thereto shall be current Interest Period applicable to the relevant Loan.

After the expiry of the first Interest Period for that Unpaid Sum, the rate on the Unpaid Sum will be calculated in accordance with Section 4.3.2.

4.4 Notification of Rates of Interest. The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders, the Security Trustee and the Borrower of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement on the Quotation Date; provided that the Facility Agent’s failure to so notify the Lenders and the Borrower shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay interest payable hereunder or any obligation under any Loan Document nor shall it give rise to any claim against the Facility Agent or any Lender by the Borrower.

4.5 Absence of Quotations. Subject to Section 4.6 (Market disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by noon on the Quotation Date, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

4.6 Market Disruption.

4.6.1 Subject to Section 4.7, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on the Quotation Date in relation to an Advance for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of that Advance for the Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of:

(i) the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding such Advance (rounded up to the nearest 1/100th of one per cent); and

(ii) the Applicable Margin.

4.6.2 In this Agreement “Market Disruption Event” means the occurrence of any event such that at or about 11:00 am (London time) on the Quotation Date for the relevant Interest Period the Screen Rate is not available and only one or none of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Facility Agent to determine LIBOR for dollars and the relevant Interest Period as contemplated in Section 4.5.

4.7 Alternative Basis of Interest or Funding.

4.7.1 If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Facility Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

4.7.2 Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to Section 4.7.1 above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all Parties.

4.8 Certificates and Determinations. Any certification or determination by a Finance Party of a rate or amount under any Loan Document, absent gross negligence or manifest error by such Finance Party, is prima facie evidence of the matters to which it relates.

4.9 Day Count Convention. Any interest or commitment fee accruing under a Loan Document will accrue from day to day and be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days.

ARTICLE V

6.2 Illegality.

6.2.1 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if any Change in Law or Illegality Event shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain its Commitment or its portion of the Loans, then the affected Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Facility Agent a written certification describing in reasonable detail the events giving rise to such unlawfulness. Upon receipt by Borrower of such notice, the Borrower and such Lender shall negotiate for a period of sixty (60) days in an effort to mitigate such illegality. During such mitigation period the affected Lender shall not be required to make any Advances to the Borrower hereunder. If after such mitigation period, such unlawfulness cannot be resolved, then the provisions of Section 6.2.2 shall apply.

6.2.2 If there shall have occurred and be continuing an event with respect to a Lender of the type described in Section 6.2.1 (an “Impaired Lender”), then the Facility Agent may and, if so instructed by the Borrower shall:

(i) notify the Borrower and each other Lender that such unlawfulness has occurred and give notice that (a) if no Advance shall then have been made by such Impaired Lender, no Advance shall be made to the Borrower by such Impaired Lender or (b) if an Advance shall then have been made by such Impaired Lender, no further Advances shall be made to the Borrower by such Impaired Lender, and request each other Lender to take up the relevant portion of such Impaired Lender’s commitments, if any, in which case each such other Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) in its sole discretion assume its pro rata share of such Impaired Lender’s commitments by providing written notice of such assumption to the Facility Agent within five (5) Business Days, and if such other Lender does not so elect in writing to assume its pro rata share of the Impaired Lender’s commitments, the Facility Agent shall send a further notice to each remaining Lender, which in turn may (but shall not be obligated to) in its sole discretion assume the remaining available commitments of such Impaired Lender on a pro rata basis by providing written notice of such assumption to the Facility Agent within (5) Business Days; and

(ii) notify the Borrower and each other Lender that such unlawfulness has occurred and, to the extent that applicable laws do not require the immediate repayment of all or a portion of such Impaired Lender’s Loans, request each other Lender to assume the relevant portion of such Impaired Lender’s Loans, in which case each such other Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) in its sole discretion assume its pro rata share of such Impaired Lender’s Loans by providing written notice of such assumption to the Facility Agent within five (5) Business Days and otherwise complying with the procedure set out in Section 21.5 (Procedure for transfer), and if any other Lender does not so elect in writing to assume its pro rata share of the Impaired Lender’s Loans, the Facility Agent shall send a further notice to each remaining Lenders, which in turn may (but shall not be obligated to) in its sole discretion assume the remaining available Loans of such Impaired Lender on a pro rata basis by providing written notice of such assumption to the Facility Agent within (5) Business Days and otherwise complying with the procedure set out in Section 21.5 (Procedure for transfer); and

(iii) to the extent that any of such Impaired Lender’s Loans are not assumed by one or more of the other Lenders as contemplated in 6.2.1(ii) above, or that

applicable laws require the immediate repayment of all or a portion of such Impaired Lender’s Loans, require the Borrower to repay the Loans advanced by such Impaired Lender in full together with accrued interest, Break Amount, if any, and all other amounts accrued and owing to such Impaired Lender under the Loan Documents, whereupon the Borrower shall on the date specified in such notice (which shall be the earlier of the date on which applicable laws require the immediate repayment of all or a portion of such Impaired Lender’s Loans and the Interest Payment Date first occurring not earlier than ten (10) Business Days from the date of such notice), repay in full all such amounts.

6.2.3 For the avoidance of doubt, the failure by any Lender to provide written notice of assumption of an Impaired Lender’s commitments or Loans within the relevant time frame contemplated by Section 6.2.2 (i) or (ii), as applicable, shall be conclusive evidence that such Lender has elected not to assume any such additional commitments or Loans. To the extent that any of such Impaired Lender’s commitments or Loans are not assumed by one or more of the other Lenders as contemplated in Section 6.2.2(i) and (ii) above, as applicable, the unassumed portion will be cancelled and the Total Commitments will be reduced accordingly.

6.3 Relevant Purchase Agreement Event.

6.3.1 The Borrower shall, forthwith upon obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of a Relevant Purchase Agreement Event, notify the Facility Agent thereof.

6.3.2 If there shall have occurred a Relevant Purchase Agreement Event which relates to all of the Aircraft, the Facility Agent, if so instructed by Controlling Lenders, shall notify the Borrower that, based on such Relevant Purchase Agreement Event, (a) if no Advance shall then have been made, no Advance shall be made to the Borrower or (b) if an Advance shall then have been made, no further Advances shall be made to the Borrower.

6.3.3 If there shall have occurred a Relevant Purchase Agreement Event which relates to one or more (but not all) of the Aircraft, the Facility Agent, if so instructed by Controlling Lenders, shall notify the Borrower that, based on such Relevant Purchase Agreement Event, (a) if no Advance in relation to the affected Aircraft shall then have been made, no Advance in relation to such affected Aircraft shall be made to the Borrower or (b) if an Advance in relation to such affected Aircraft shall then have been made, no further Advances in relation to such affected Aircraft shall be made to the Borrower.

6.4 Mandatory Prepayment.

6.4.1 If a Relevant Purchase Agreement Event has occurred with respect to one or more Aircraft, the Loans relating to the affected Aircraft shall, on the fifth Business Day thereafter, be prepaid in full, but not in part, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment and Break Amount, if any, owing to the Lenders and all other amounts then payable to the Finance Parties hereunder and under the Loan Documents.

6.4.2 If a Doric Trigger Event occurs, then on the Doric Prepayment Date, each Doric Loan shall be prepaid in part by an amount equal to the Doric Prepayment Amount for such Doric Loan. In such event, without further act or agreement of the parties, from the Doric Prepayment Date onward Schedule 5 shall replace Schedule 4 and the Doric Loans shall

be converted to Basic Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, except for the Doric Prepayment Amounts, there shall be no true-up or claw-back for any of the respective rights or obligations of the parties in respect of the Doric Loans prior to the Doric Prepayment Date, including but not limited to any increase in Fees or interest paid or to be paid by Borrower in connection with the Doric Loans for the period prior to the Doric Prepayment Date.

6.4.3 If any “Manufacturer Change” or “Operator Change” (each as defined in Section 3.2 of the Assigned Aircraft Purchase Agreement) would in the aggregate increase the Lenders’ Purchase Price payable in respect of such Aircraft by more the $2,000,000.00, Borrower will on the next Interest Payment Date prepay the Loans relating to such Aircraft in the amount by which such increase exceeds $2,000,000.00.

6.5 Voluntary Prepayment. The Borrower may prepay on any Interest Payment Date in whole or in part any of the outstanding Loans, together with accrued interest thereon, Break Amount, if any, and all other amounts due and owing by the Borrower under the Loan Documents if, (a) it gives the Facility Agent not less than four (4) Business Days prior written notice and (b) the amount of any prepayment is not less than $2,000,000.00 or any higher integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 (a “Voluntary Prepayment”). There shall be no early prepayment fees or penalties in connection with any such Voluntary Prepayment.

6.6 Right of Repayment and Cancellation in Relation to a Single Lender. If:

(i) any sum payable to any Lender by the Borrower is required to be increased under sub-Section 13.4(b) (Withholding on Payments); or

(ii) any Lender claims indemnification from the Borrower under Section 14.1 (Increased Costs),

the Borrower may, while the circumstance giving rise to the requirement or indemnification continues, upon not less than thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as the relevant Lender may agree) prior notice to the Facility Agent and such Lender cancel the commitment of that Lender and repay that Lender’s Loans together with accrued interest thereon and Break Amount, if any, and such Lender’s allocable share of all other amounts due and owing by the Borrower under the Loan Documents.

6.7 Voluntary Reduction of Commitments.

6.8.1 Any notice of cancellation or prepayment given by any Party under this Article VI shall be irrevocable and, unless a contrary indication appears in this Agreement, shall specify the date or dates upon which the relevant cancellation or prepayment is to be made and the amount of that cancellation or prepayment. No cancelled or prepaid portion of the Total Commitments or the Loans may be re-instated or re-borrowed.

6.8.2 Any repayment or prepayment under this Agreement shall be made together with accrued interest on the amount prepaid, Break Amount, if any, prepayment penalties, if any, and other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents.

6.8.3 The Borrower shall not repay or prepay all or any part of any Loan or cancel all or any part of the Commitments in the manner expressly provided for in this Agreement.

6.8.4 If the Facility Agent receives a notice under this Article VI it shall promptly forward a copy of that notice to either the Borrower or the affected Lenders, as appropriate.

ARTICLE VIII

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BORROWER

The Borrower makes the following representations and warranties set out in this Article VIII to each Finance Party on the date of this Agreement and as at each Advance Date (except to the extent such representation or warranties relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall only be made as to the date on which it is expressed to be made):

8.1 Status. The Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, is a certified air carrier and is duly qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, all other jurisdictions where the nature of its business or the nature of property owned or used by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing does not result in a Material Adverse Change. The Borrower has full corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and under each of the other Operative Documents to which it is (or will be) a party.

8.2 Binding Obligations. It has duly authorized, executed and delivered this Agreement and each of the Operative Documents to which it is (or will be) a party, and each of the Operative Documents to which it is (or will be) a party constitutes, or when entered into will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity.

8.3 Non Conflict with Other Obligations. Neither the execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Operative Documents to which it is or will be a party, nor the consummation by the Borrower of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor the compliance by the Borrower with any of the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, (A) requires or will require any approval of its stockholders, or approval or consent of any trustees or holders of any indebtedness or obligations of it except such as have been (or will be) duly obtained, (B) violates or will violate its certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (C) contravenes or will contravene any provision of, or constitutes or will constitute a default under, or results or will result in any breach of, any indenture, mortgage, lease, chattel mortgage, deed of trust, conditional sale contract, bank loan or credit agreement, license or other agreement, instrument or contractual restriction to which it is a party or by which it is bound or (D) contravenes or will contravene any applicable law binding on it.

No Authorization of, giving of notice to, or registration with, or taking of any other action in respect of, any governmental authority or agency or any other applicable governmental authority or agency is required for the execution and delivery of, or the carrying out by, the Borrower of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any other of the Operative Documents to which the Borrower is or will be a party, other than the filing of the UCC-1 financing statement referred to in Section 7.1.5. Upon the filing of the UCC-1 financing statement specified in the preceding sentence, the Security Trustee will have a first priority and perfected security interest in the Collateral.

8.5 Financial Statements.

8.5.1 The Original Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or as permitted by Form 10-Q in the case of interim unaudited consolidated financial statements).

8.5.2 The Original Financial Statements fairly represent in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Guarantor as at the respective

dates thereof and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the periods indicated therein.

8.5.3 There has been no Material Adverse Change since September 30, 2007 except as disclosed by it to the Facility Agent in writing prior to the date hereof.

8.6 Pari Passu Ranking. Its payment obligations under the Loan Documents rank at least pari passu with the claims of all its other unsecured and unsubordinated creditors.

8.7 No Proceedings Pending or Threatened. There are no pending or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened actions or proceedings against the Borrower before any court or administrative agency that would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

8.8 No Relevant Event. No Relevant Event has occurred and is continuing or could reasonably be expected to result from the making of any Advance.

8.9 Aircraft Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is not in default of any of its obligations under the Aircraft Purchase Agreement, the Aircraft Purchase Agreement is in full force and effect and, to the knowledge, information and belief of Borrower’s Responsible Officers, the Aircraft Manufacturer is not in default of its obligations under the Aircraft Purchase Agreement. The Borrower has not entered into any agreement with the Aircraft Manufacturer (including any portion or provision of the Aircraft Purchase Agreement that is not being assigned to the Security Trustee in accordance with the Security Documents) that adversely affects the rights of the Security Trustee under the Assigned Aircraft Purchase Agreement in any material respect. As at the date hereof, Schedule 3 accurately reflects the timing and amounts of Pre Delivery Payments due under the Aircraft Purchase Agreement, and all Pre Delivery Payments that have fallen due prior to the date hereof have been paid in full by the Borrower (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any such payments that have been deferred in a manner consistent with the terms of the Assigned Aircraft Purchase Agreement). The Detailed Specification for the Aircraft requires the Aircraft to be delivered in freighter configuration. The portions of the Aircraft Purchase Agreement posted on the following website on the date hereof: xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/Xxxxxxxx/xxxxx/xxxx/0000000/000000000000000000/x00000_xx00-0.xxx, are true and accurate.

(ii) enter into any agreement with the Aircraft Manufacturer to amend, waive or otherwise modify any provision of the Aircraft Purchase Agreement (insofar as it relates to any Aircraft as to which a Loan is outstanding or the Collateral (or any part thereof)) which would adversely affect the Security Trustee’s interest in the Collateral in any material respect, including, without limitation, (A) result in an increase of the Lenders’ Purchase Price other than in accordance with Section 10.6 or (B) amending the Pre Delivery Payment Dates or any Scheduled Delivery Month;

(iii) except as permitted under the Aircraft Purchase Agreement, consent to any assignment by the Aircraft Manufacturer of its rights under the Aircraft Purchase Agreement (insofar as it relates to an Aircraft as to which a Loan is outstanding or any part thereof) or under the Consent and Agreement;

The Borrower shall, on demand, pay to each Finance Party the amount of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by that Finance Party following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, associated with any “work out” or in connection with the enforcement of, or the preservation of any rights under, any Operative Document.

11.6 No Double-Counting. No Finance Party shall be entitled to an indemnity, payment or reimbursement under any Operative Document to the extent that such Finance Party has otherwise been indemnified, paid, compensated or reimbursed in respect of the relevant sum

ARTICLE XII

GENERAL INDEMNIFICATION

12.1 Claims Defined. For the purposes of this Article XII, “Claims” shall mean any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, settlements, penalties, claims, costs, actions, suits, expenses or judgments of whatsoever kind and nature (whether or not on the basis of negligence, strict or absolute liability or liability in tort) which may be imposed on, incurred by, suffered by, or asserted against an Indemnitee and shall include all reasonable costs, disbursements and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of an Indemnitee in connection therewith or related thereto.

12.2 Claims Indemnified. Subject to the exclusions stated in Section 12.3 below and the other limitations in this Article XII, the Borrower agrees, to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless, on an After-Tax Basis, each Indemnitee from, against and in respect of any and all Claims of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee in any way related to, resulting from or arising out of any one or more of the following: (a) the Borrower’s possession of, title to, or leasing of, the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine or Part, (b) this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the enforcement of the terms of any thereof related to, resulting from or arising out of a Default or an Event of Default (including restructuring or reorganization of the Borrower, whether or not supervised by a court), (c) the manufacture, design, purchase, acceptance or rejection of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine or Part under the Aircraft Purchase Agreement, (d) the ownership, delivery, non-delivery, lease, sublease, wet lease, possession, use, non-use, substitution, airworthiness, state of airworthiness, control, manufacture, construction, maintenance, repair, testing, abandonment, replacement, operation, registration, deregistration, re-registration, condition, sale, storage, modification, alteration, return, pooling, assignment, transfer or other disposition of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine or Part (including, without limitation, any death or injury to passengers or others, property damage, any damage to the environment, any latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable, any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement and any violation of law by the Borrower), (e) tort liability, whether or not arising out of the negligence of any Indemnitee (whether active, passive or imputed and including strict liability without fault), (f) any breach of or failure to perform or observe, or any other non-compliance with, any covenant, condition or agreement or other obligation to be performed by the Borrower under any of the Operative Documents, or the falsity or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Borrower in any of the Operative Documents, (g) any violation of applicable law by the Borrower, or its directors, officers, employees, agents or servants, (h) the offer or sale of any Loans or any refunding or refinancing of the Loans by the Borrower (the benefit of the indemnity in this clause (h) to extend also to any person who controls the Indemnitee, its successors, assigns, employees, directors and officers) and (i) the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceeding in any jurisdiction relating to or against the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower (including, without limitation, any action or proceeding taken to set aside, invalidate, affect or treat as a preference or transaction at an undervalue, the sale of the

Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine or Part from the Borrower to the Owner Trustee or any other transaction contemplated by the Operative Documents).

12.3 Claims Excluded. The following are excluded from the Borrower’s agreement to indemnify any particular Indemnitee under this Article XII:

(a) any Claim to the extent such Claim is a Tax covered under Article XIII of this Agreement, except to the extent any Claim is required to be paid on an After-Tax Basis;

(b) any Claim to the extent attributable to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of such Indemnitee (other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed as a matter of law to such Indemnitee solely by reason of its interest in the Aircraft or any Operative Document);

(c) any Claim to the extent attributable to the noncompliance by such Indemnitee with any of the terms of, or any misrepresentation by such Indemnitee contained in, any Operative Document to which such Indemnitee is a party (unless and to the extent such noncompliance or misrepresentation is attributable to noncompliance by the Borrower with any of their respective obligations under the Operative Documents or to a misrepresentation by the Borrower contained in any Operative Document or certificate delivered pursuant thereto);

(d) any Claim to the extent such Claim is a cost, fee or expense payable by such Indemnitee pursuant to any express provision of any Operative Document and for which the Borrower is not otherwise obligated to reimburse such Indemnitee directly or indirectly pursuant to any express provision of the Operative Documents;

(e) any Claim to the extent such Claim would have arisen if such Indemnitee had not engaged in the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents;

(f) any Claim to the extent such Claim is an ordinary and usual operating, administrative or overhead expense of such Indemnitee other than such expenses caused by the occurrence of an Event of Default;

(g) any Claim that constitutes a Finance Party Encumbrance attributable to such Indemnitee;

(h) in the case of any Lenders, (A) any Claim resulting from any offer, sale or assignment of its Loans under this Agreement, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (B) any Claim to the extent attributable to violations of applicable securities laws attributable to such Lenders’ own actions in connection with any such offer, sale, assignment or other disposition by such Lenders;

(i) any Claim to the extent attributable to the authorization or the giving by such Indemnitee of any amendment, supplement, waiver or consent with respect to any of the Operative Documents, other than (A) such as has been requested by the Borrower,

(B) such as is required by any of the Operative Documents or (C) any thereof at a time an Event of Default related thereto shall have occurred and be continuing;

(j) any Claim to the extent attributable to a failure by the Security Trustee to distribute in accordance with this Agreement any amounts received and distributable by it hereunder.

12.4 Insured Claims. In the case of any Claim indemnified by the Borrower hereunder which is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by the Borrower, each Indemnitee agrees to cooperate, at the Borrower’s cost and expense, with the insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise such Claim as may be required to retain the benefits of such insurance with respect to such Claim.

12.5 Claims Procedure. An Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any Claim as to which indemnification is sought; provided that the failure to so notify the Borrower shall not relieve the Borrower from any liability which they may have to such Indemnitee pursuant to this Article XII except to the extent such failure prejudices the Borrower’s ability to defend such Claim. Subject to the rights of insurers under policies of insurance maintained by the Borrower and the provisos below, the Borrower shall have the right to investigate and the right in its sole discretion to defend or compromise any such Claim, and the applicable Indemnitee shall, at the Borrower’s cost and expense, cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Borrower in connection therewith; provided that (i) if the Borrower shall settle or compromise any Claim, the Borrower shall do so at its own expense or shall provide funds to or on behalf of such Indemnitee on an After-Tax Basis to pay such Claim, (ii) the Borrower shall not settle or compromise any Claim with respect to which the Borrower has not agreed to indemnify such Indemnitee to such Indemnitee’s satisfaction or on a basis that admits any criminal liability, gross negligence or willful misconduct by any Indemnitee, and (iii) upon the request of such Indemnitee, the Borrower will actively pursue in good faith a motion to dismiss such Indemnitee from any action, suit or proceeding related to such Claim and will consult with such Indemnitee about the conduct of such motion to dismiss; and provided, further, that, the Borrower shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of or compromise any such Claim (A) during the continuance of any Default or any Event of Default, or (B) if any actual or potential material conflict of interest exists making it advisable in the good faith opinion of such Indemnitee (on the basis of prevailing standards of professional responsibility) for such Indemnitee to be represented by separate counsel, or (C) if such Claim or any related action, suit or proceeding will involve any non-de minimis risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Security Interest (other than Permitted Encumbrance) on the Collateral, or (D) if such Claim or any related action, suit or proceeding involves any risk of criminal liability to such Indemnitee, or (E) unless the Borrower shall have acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify such Indemnitee pursuant to this Article XII, or (F) if the nature of any such Claim resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Borrower is such that the Indemnitee reasonably considers that that its reputation may be materially damaged by the existence of such Claim or by the Borrower conducting such defense, and, in any such case, the relevant Indemnitee will have the right to control the defense of such Claim at the expense of the Borrower. Where the Borrower or the insurers under a policy of insurance maintained by the Borrower undertake the defense of an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim, no additional legal fees or expenses of such Indemnitee in connection with the defense of

such Claim shall be indemnified hereunder unless any of the circumstances specified in clause (A) through (E) of the preceding proviso shall apply or such fees or expenses or were incurred at the request of the Borrower or such insurers, in any of which cases, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnitee that is reasonably acceptable to Borrower shall be payable by the Borrower on an After-Tax Basis for so long as such circumstances shall continue. Subject to the requirements of any policy of insurance, an Indemnitee may participate at its own expense (subject to the preceding sentence) in any judicial proceeding controlled by the Borrower pursuant to the preceding provisions and such participation shall not constitute a waiver of the indemnification provided in this Article XII. The Borrower will provide the Indemnitee with all information not within the control of the Indemnitee as is reasonably available to the Borrower and which the Indemnitee may reasonably request and shall otherwise cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnitee in the exercise of its rights and the performance of its obligations under this Section 12.5. Nothing in this Article XII shall be deemed to require any Indemnitee to contest any Claim or to assume responsibility for or control the defense of any Claim. No Indemnitee shall be prevented by this Section 12.5 from settling or paying any Claim immediately if such Indemnitee is required by applicable law to do so.

12.6 Subrogation. To the extent that a Claim indemnified by the Borrower under this Article XII is in fact paid in full by the Borrower and/or an insurer under a policy of insurance maintained by the Borrower, the Borrower and/or such insurer, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights and remedies of the Indemnitee on whose behalf such Claim was paid (other than rights of such Indemnitee under insurance policies maintained at its own expense) with respect to the transaction or event giving rise to such Claim. So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, should an Indemnitee receive any payment (except under insurance policies maintained at its own expense) from any party other than the Borrower or its insurers, in whole or in part, with respect to any Claim paid by the Borrower or its insurers hereunder, such Indemnitee shall promptly pay the amount so received (but not an amount in excess of the amount the Borrower or any of its insurers has paid in respect of such Claim) over to the Borrower.

12.7 Effect of Other Indemnities. The Borrower’ obligations under this Article XII shall be those of a primary obligor whether or not the person indemnified shall also be indemnified with respect to the same matter under the terms of this Agreement, or any other document or instrument, and the person seeking indemnification from the Borrower pursuant to any provision of this Agreement may proceed directly against the Borrower without first seeking to enforce any other right of indemnification.

12.8 Survival. The indemnities and other obligations of the Borrower, and the obligations of any Indemnitee, under this Article XII shall survive the Lenders’ making their respective commitments available, the Maturity Date for all of the Loans and the expiration or other termination of the Operative Documents.

presence, activity or other connection of the Borrower in or with such jurisdiction, (C) the Borrower making or deemed to be making a payment from or through such jurisdiction, (D) the execution or delivery of any Operative Document (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) or the creation, recording or perfection of any security interest in such jurisdiction or (E) any combination of factors (A), (B), (C) and (D) of this Section 13.2(a); provided, further, there shall not be excluded under this paragraph (x) any amount necessary to make any payment hereunder on an After-Tax Basis or (y) any Taxes imposed on or payable by a Tax Indemnitee as a result of the failure of any person to withhold income tax from any payment pursuant to any Operative Document unless such Tax Indemnitee expressly agreed in any Operative Document to withhold such income tax from such payment;

(b) Taxes imposed on any Tax Indemnitee to the extent resulting from the willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud of such Tax Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof or the breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or covenant of such Tax Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof in any Operative Document;

(d) Taxes imposed on any Tax Indemnitee on or with respect to any voluntary transfer (it being understood and agreed that any transfer that occurs (1) pursuant to a request by the Borrower or in connection with an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing, (2) as a result of the substitution, replacement, modification, pooling or improvement of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part, (3) as a result of a requirement of the law of any jurisdiction due to the operation or presence of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, any Part or the Collateral, or any activity or presence of the Borrower, in such jurisdiction, (4) as a result of any bankruptcy or insolvency of, or a foreclosure against, such Tax Indemnitee, or (5) pursuant to the Operative Documents shall not be a voluntary transfer by such Tax Indemnitee) (x) of any interest in the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, any Part, the Collateral or any interest in or rights

arising under any Operative Document or (y) of any interest (direct or indirect) in a Tax Indemnitee;

(e) Taxes imposed with respect to any period before the date of this Agreement (unless attributable to any act or omission on the part of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) or after the Maturity Date and discharge in full of the Borrower’s obligations to pay all Unpaid Sums due at such time under the Operative Documents; provided, that there shall not be excluded by this Section 13.2(e) any Taxes related to events occurring or matters arising prior to or simultaneously with the Maturity Date or imposed with respect to any payment by the Borrower after such date;

(f) Taxes imposed on any Tax Indemnitee to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the failure of such Tax Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof to comply with (1) certification, information, documentation, reporting or other similar requirements concerning such Finance Party’s nationality, residence, identity or connection with the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes, if such compliance is required by statute, regulation or administrative procedure of the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Taxes and such Tax Indemnitee or Affiliate was eligible to comply with such requirement or (2) any other certification, information, documentation, reporting or other similar requirements under the Tax laws, regulations or administrative procedures of the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes that would establish entitlement to otherwise applicable relief or exemption from such Taxes available to such Tax Indemnitee or Affiliate; provided, however, that the exclusions set forth in this Section 13.2(f) shall only apply if the Borrower, any governmental authority or any other person shall have given such Tax Indemnitee or Affiliate timely written notice of such certification, information, document, reporting or other similar requirement at such time and in such manner as shall give such Tax Indemnitee a reasonable opportunity to comply with such requirement (or, if requested by the Tax Indemnitee, the Borrower shall have timely prepared and filed any such forms or documents on behalf of the Tax Indemnitee at the Borrower’s sole expense as shall be necessary to comply with such requirement) and such Tax Indemnitee shall not have determined in its sole opinion determined in good faith that compliance with such requirement would create a risk of unindemnified adverse consequences to such Tax Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates;

(g) Taxes to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for an amendment to any Operative Document to which the Borrower is not a party without the prior written consent of the Borrower, unless such amendment occurs in connection with and during the continuance of an Event of Default or is required by applicable law or is required by any Operative Document;

(h) so long as all other amounts due under the Operative Documents are being paid when due without reduction, Taxes for so long as such Taxes are being contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3(c) hereof;

(i) interest, penalties or additions to Tax imposed on a Tax Indemnitee to the extent such interest, penalties or additions to Tax would not have been imposed but for

the failure of such Tax Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof to file any return properly and timely, unless such failure results from a failure of the Borrower to comply with this Article XIII;

(j) Taxes imposed on a Tax Indemnitee resulting from, or which would not have occurred but for, a Finance Party Encumbrance for which such Tax Indemnitee is responsible;

(k) Taxes imposed on the Security Trustee that are on, based on or measured by any trustee fees for services rendered by the Security Trustee;

(l) Taxes imposed on a Tax Indemnitee to the extent they would have been incurred notwithstanding their entry into the Operative Documents; and

(m) any Tax imposed on or payable by any Tax Indemnitee to the extent such Tax was actually paid or reimbursed in connection with making a payment on an After-Tax Basis to such Tax Indemnitee by the Borrower pursuant to any other provision of the Operative Documents.

13.3 Certain Agreements.

(a) If any Tax Indemnitee shall realize a tax benefit with respect to Taxes paid or indemnified against by the Borrower pursuant to this Article XIII (whether by way of deduction, credit, allocation or apportionment of income or otherwise) except to the extent previously taken into account in computing the indemnity or other payment for such Taxes, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to the Borrower an amount that, after subtraction of any further Tax savings such Tax Indemnitee realizes as a result of the payment thereof, is equal to the amount of such Tax benefit; provided that (x) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (y) any subsequent loss of any Tax benefit for which a payment has been made to the Borrower hereunder (or which was taken into account in computing the amount of the Borrower’s indemnity hereunder) shall be treated as an indemnifiable Tax hereunder without regard to the exclusions set forth in Section 13.2 and (z) such Tax Indemnitee shall not be obligated to make any payment pursuant to this sentence to the extent that the amount of such payment would exceed (1) the aggregate amount of all prior payments by the Borrower to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Article XIII, less (2) the aggregate amount of all prior payments by such Tax Indemnitee to the Borrower pursuant to this Article XIII. Each Tax Indemnitee shall use reasonable endeavors in filing its Tax returns and in dealing with taxing authorities to seek and claim each such identifiable Tax benefit and Tax savings and to minimize the Taxes indemnifiable by the Borrower hereunder; provided, however, that no Tax Indemnitee shall be restricted in its right to make available Tax elections and otherwise arrange its Tax affairs as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate and no Tax Indemnitee shall be obligated to re-arrange its Tax affairs or to disclose any information regarding its Tax affairs or computations to the Borrower or any other Person. Any amount payable by any Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 13.3(a) with respect to any saving in Taxes shall be paid as soon as reasonably practicable after such Tax Indemnitee realizes the identifiable Tax benefit (including making any estimated Tax

payment reflecting (or that would reflect but for the use of deductions or credits attributable to activities unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents) such identifiable Tax benefit or, if an Event of Default is then continuing, within 45 Business Days after the date such Event of Default ceases to be continuing (assuming that such identifiable Tax benefit has been realized by such Tax Indemnitee).

(b) The Borrower shall pay any Tax for which it is liable pursuant to this Article XIII directly to the appropriate taxing authority, if allowable, on or before the due date for such Tax or, if not so allowable, directly to the Tax Indemnitee. Any indemnity payable directly to any Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Article XIII shall be paid to such Tax Indemnitee within 10 Business days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Tax Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the Taxes that are the subject of such indemnity and the computation of the amount so payable (which written statement shall be subject to verification in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3(c)), but not prior to the later of (x) two Business Days prior to the due date for the payment of such Taxes or (y) in the case of amounts which are being contested in accordance with Section 13.3(c), the time such contest (including all appeals, if any) is finally resolved. If requested by a Tax Indemnitee in writing, the Borrower shall furnish to such Tax Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt (if any is reasonably available to the Borrower) or such other evidence of payment as is reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee and reasonably available to the Borrower.

(c) If written claim is made against any Tax Indemnitee or if any proceeding is commenced against any Tax Indemnitee (by a written notice of such proceeding) for any Tax for which the Borrower is obligated pursuant to this Article XIII, such Tax Indemnitee shall notify the Borrower in writing promptly and shall not take any action with respect to such claim or Tax without the consent of the Borrower for 30 days after the receipt of such notice by the Borrower, except in the case of any such claim or proceeding, if action shall be required by law or regulation to be taken prior to the end of such 30-day period. If requested by the Borrower in writing within 30 days after the receipt of such notice by the Borrower or such shorter period as is specified above, such Tax Indemnitee shall in good faith diligently contest through appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings (including pursuing all judicial appeals, but not to the United States Supreme Court) in the name of such Tax Indemnitee (or, if requested by the Borrower and permitted by applicable law, and if such contest does not involve net income Taxes or Taxes that are not indemnified by the Borrower hereunder, permit the Borrower to contest in the name of the Borrower or such Tax Indemnitee, unless the Tax Indemnitee determines that permitting the Borrower to control the contest could have a material adverse effect on such Tax Indemnitee), the validity, applicability and amount of such Tax by (x) resisting payment thereof, (y) not paying the same except under protest, if protest be necessary or proper, or (z) if payment be made, seeking a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings; provided that no such contest shall be commenced or continued unless (A) the Borrower shall have agreed in writing to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee for, and pay on a current basis, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses which such Tax Indemnitee may incur in connection with contesting such claim, including, without limitation, all reasonable legal, accountants’ and investigatory fees and disbursements, (B) if such contest is to be initiated by the

payment of, and the claiming of a refund for, such Tax by such Tax Indemnitee, then the Borrower shall provide such Tax Indemnitee (on an interest-free basis) with the amount of such payment (including interest, penalties and additions to Tax with respect thereto) and shall agree to (and shall on demand) indemnify such Tax Indemnitee against any adverse Tax consequences to such Tax Indemnitee resulting from such interest-free loan, (C) such Tax Indemnitee shall have reasonably determined that the action to be taken will not result in the risk of imposition of criminal penalties or any material risk of forfeiture, sale or loss of, or the creation of any Security Interest (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) on any Collateral, (D) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (E) the amount of the potential indemnity (together with the amount of all logically related claims that have been or could be raised in any audit involving such Tax Indemnitee for which the Borrower may be liable to pay an indemnity under this Article XIII) exceeds $25,000.00, (F) the Borrower shall have acknowledged its liability under this Article XIII for such Taxes to the extent such contest is not successful provided that the Borrower will not be bound by its acknowledgment of liability if the contest is resolved with a written judicial decision on an articulated basis that clearly and unambiguously demonstrates that the Borrower has no liability under this Article XIII with respect to such Tax, (G) prior to the Borrower commencing any judicial action on behalf of any Tax Indemnitee, the Borrower shall have provided to such Tax Indemnitee at the Borrower’s expense an opinion of independent Tax counsel selected by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Tax Indemnitee that a reasonable basis exists to contest such claim or, in the case of any appeal of an adverse court decision, to the effect that it is more likely than not such appeal will be successful and (H) if the contested Tax is of a continuing nature and the Tax Indemnitee’s liability for such Tax shall have been determined in a manner adverse to the Tax Indemnitee by a court after a contest conducted pursuant to this Section 13.3(c), there shall have been a change in applicable law since the date of the previous judicial decision and the Tax Indemnitee shall have received at the Borrower’s expense, an opinion of independent Tax counsel selected by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Tax Indemnitee that as a result of such change in applicable law the contest is more likely than not to be successful. The party in control of the contest shall consider in good faith the reasonable requests of the other party, including the request to participate in the contest. The Tax Indemnitee shall not be required by this Section 13.3(c) or any other provision in the Operative Documents (unless required by applicable law or necessary in order to pursue the contest) to disclose to the Borrower or any other Person such Tax Indemnitee’s tax returns, books or records, or any other document or information that such Tax Indemnitee in its sole opinion considers to be confidential. If any Tax Indemnitee shall obtain a refund (the amount of such refund to be determined in the good faith discretion of such Tax Indemnitee) (including a credit or other offset against liability for Tax) of all or any part of any Tax paid by the Borrower or for which the Borrower shall have reimbursed such Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay the Borrower an amount which, after subtraction of any further savings of Taxes actually realized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of such payment, shall be equal to the amount of such refund, including any interest actually received by or credited to such Tax Indemnitee on such refund attributable to such Tax that is properly attributable to the period subsequent to such payment or reimbursement by the Borrower, less any Taxes payable by such Tax

Indemnitee as a result of the receipt of such refund and/or interest; provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and that such amount (other than the portion thereof representing interest on such refund) shall not exceed the amount paid or advanced by the Borrower to or on behalf of the Tax Indemnitee with respect to such refunded Tax. If any Tax Indemnitee is required to repay to any taxing authority all or any part of a refund with respect to which such Tax Indemnitee shall have made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 13.3(c), then the Borrower shall pay to such Tax Indemnitee on an After-Tax Basis the amount of such repayment without regard to Section 13.2. A Tax Indemnitee may at any time elect, in writing, not to contest any Tax pursuant to this Section 13.3(c); provided that such election shall constitute a waiver by such Tax Indemnitee of any right to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to this Article XIII with respect to such Tax (and with respect to similar Taxes relating to any other taxable period to the extent that such failure to contest causes any contest of any claim for such Taxes to be precluded) and such Tax Indemnitee shall refund to the Borrower any amounts paid or advanced by the Borrower with respect to such Tax (other than any expenses of the contest).

(d) If any report, return or statement is required to be filed with respect to any Tax that is subject to indemnification under this Article XIII, the Borrower shall, if permitted by applicable law to do so, timely file such report, return or statement (except for any such report, return or statement that a Tax Indemnitee has notified the Borrower that such Tax Indemnitee intends to file); provided that such Tax Indemnitee shall have furnished the Borrower, at the Borrower’s request, with such information, not within the control of the Borrower, as is in such Tax Indemnitee’s control and is reasonably available to such Tax Indemnitee and necessary to file such report, return or statement (it being understood that the Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to furnish copies of its tax returns, books, or records). If the Borrower is not permitted by applicable law to file any such report, return or statement, or has insufficient information, the Borrower will promptly notify the relevant Tax Indemnitee of such requirement and prepare and deliver to such Tax Indemnitee a proposed form of such report, return or statement, within a reasonable time prior to the time such report, return or statement is to be filed. No Tax Indemnitee shall be required to provide the Borrower with any information which such Tax Indemnitee determines in its sole discretion to be confidential. The Borrower shall hold each Tax Indemnitee harmless from and against all liabilities arising out of any insufficiency or inaccuracy of any report, return or statement described in this Section 13.3(d) unless such insufficiency or inaccuracy results from the insufficiency or inaccuracy of any information supplied by the Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 13.3(d).

(e) At the written request of the Borrower within 20 days after receipt by the Borrower of a Tax Indemnitee’s request for an indemnity payment and the written statement described in Section 13.3(b), or of a Tax Indemnitee’s statement regarding an amount payable by the Tax Indemnitee to the Borrower pursuant to Section 13.3(a), any amount or statement determined or prepared by a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Article XIII shall be verified by a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants selected by the relevant Tax Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, and in order to enable such firm to verify such Tax Indemnitee’s computations, such Tax

Indemnitee shall provide to such firm (for their own confidential use and not be disclosed to the Borrower or any other Person) all information reasonably necessary for such verification; provided, however, that neither such firm, the Borrower nor any other person will have any right to examine any tax return, books or records of such Tax Indemnitee. The costs of any verification shall be payable by the Borrower unless such firm determines that any amount payable by the Borrower is less, or that any amount payable by the relevant Tax Indemnitee is more, than the amount stated by the relevant Tax Indemnitee by at least 5%. Such firm shall be requested to make its determination within 30 days. In the event such firm shall determine that such amount or statement is incorrect, then such firm shall determine what it believes to be the correct amount, and such determination shall be binding upon the parties. The sole responsibility of such firm shall be to verify the computation of the amounts payable hereunder; the interpretation of this Agreement or any other Operative Document shall not be within the scope of such firm’s responsibilities.

(f) Each payment by the Borrower to a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Article XIII shall be made on an After-Tax Basis.

13.4 Withholding on Payments.

(a) All amounts payable by the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be free of withholding on account of any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by applicable law. If any Tax is required to be withheld from any such amount payable by the Borrower to or for the benefit of a Tax Indemnitee under any Loan Document, the Borrower (A) shall pay an additional amount such that the net amount actually or constructively received by such Tax Indemnitee will, after such withholding (including withholding from any additional amount payable pursuant to this sentence), equal the full amount of the payment then due, (B) shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the relevant Tax authority the full amount required to be withheld (including the full amount required to be withheld from any additional amount paid pursuant to this sentence) in accordance with applicable law, and (C) shall furnish to the affected Tax Indemnitee as soon as practicable an official receipt (or a certified copy thereof) if reasonably obtainable or such other documentation as is reasonably obtainable and reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee evidencing payment of the withheld Tax.

(b) If the Security Trustee is required by any applicable law to withhold any Tax from any amount payable by such person to the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee, or any Lender under the this Agreement, (A) such party will give the Borrower and Lenders prompt written notice of such requirement, (B) the party making such payment shall withhold such Tax from such payment, and (C) the Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee, or such Lender (as the case may be) an additional amount such that the sum of the net amounts received by the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee, or such Lender (as the case may be) will, after such withholding (including withholding from any additional amount payable pursuant to this sentence), equal the amount that the Security Trustee, the Facility Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) would have received if such withholding had not been required. As among the Borrower, the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee and each Lender, the Security Trustee shall act as

the withholding agent for any Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to this Agreement and shall be responsible for satisfying all governmental filings and information requirements in connection therewith.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, if for any reason the Borrower is required by this Section 13.4 to pay any amount with respect to Excluded Taxes, the relevant Tax Indemnitee shall promptly upon demand repay such amounts to the Borrower.

(d) Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee on the Initial Advance Date (or, if such Lender becomes a Non-U.S. Lender after the Initial Advance Date, on the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender) a properly completed and duly signed Internal Revenue Service Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8EXP (or applicable successor form) evidencing such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from (or, in the case of a Lender that becomes a Lender after the Initial Advance Date, a reduction in the rate of) United States withholding taxes on interest and all other amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents. Each Lender that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), but is not a person described in Section 6049(b)(4) of the Code, shall deliver to the Borrower, the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee on the Initial Advance Date (or, if such Lender becomes a Lender after the Initial Advance Date, on the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender) a properly completed and duly signed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form), evidencing such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding taxes on interest and all other amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(e) The Facility Agent and the Security Trustee shall deliver to the Borrower no later than required by law and from time to time thereafter when required by applicable law or reasonably requested by any such person a properly completed and duly signed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMYor applicable successor form (including all attachments required by applicable law or by the instructions to Form W-8IMY).

(f) If any Internal Revenue Service form delivered by the Facility Agent, Security Trustee or any Lender pursuant to this Section 13.4 expires or becomes inaccurate or obsolete, the Facility Agent, Security Trustee or such Lender (as the case may be) shall deliver to the Borrower, the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee a replacement Internal Revenue Service form (or applicable successor form).

(g) The Facility Agent and each Lender agrees (and each other Lender, by its execution hereof and by acceptance of the assignment of any Loans, shall be deemed to agree) to indemnify and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis each of the Facility Agent (in the case of Lenders), the Security Trustee and the Borrower, within 30 days after receipt of written demand therefor, for all liabilities, losses, costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Facility Agent (in the case of Lenders), the Security Trustee or the Borrower (as the case may be) as a result of its failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 13.4 or the inaccuracy of any Internal Revenue Service form delivered by it pursuant to this Section 13.4.

(h) If the Borrower, the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee fails to withhold from any payment to the Facility Agent or a Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any Loan Document any Tax which such person is required by applicable law to withhold from such payment, but for which it is not responsible under this Section 13.4, the Security Trustee, the Facility Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) shall repay to such person, within ten Business Days after receipt of such person’s written demand therefor, the amount which such person was required to withhold.

(i) If any party hereto determines that any Tax is required by applicable law to be withheld from any amount payable to the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or any Lender pursuant to any Loan Document, the party making such determination shall give written notice thereof to the other parties hereto and to the affected Finance Parties, and if requested by the Borrower, each other party hereto and the affected Lender shall use reasonable efforts to take appropriate action to eliminate or minimize the Borrower’s indemnity liability under this Article XIII, provided that no such person shall be obligated to accept any amendment of any Loan Document or to take any other action if such amendment or other action might in such person’s sole discretion be adverse to it; and if the Borrower and the other notified parties do not agree on a course of action pursuant to the preceding clause of this sentence within 60 days after the date of the Borrower’s request therefor, the Borrower may cause one or more institutional investors unrelated to the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the remaining Lenders to purchase the Loans of the affected Lender (provided that such transfer is otherwise in accordance with Article XXI hereof) on the next scheduled Interest Payment Date for an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of those Loans plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon resulting from such transfer, and concurrently with such purchase the affected Lender shall be paid all other amounts owing to it pursuant to the Operative Documents.

13.5 Survival. The indemnities and other obligations of the Borrower, and the obligations of each Tax Indemnitee, under this Article XIII shall survive the Lenders’ making their respective Commitments available, the Maturity Date of all of the Loans and the expiration or other termination of the Operative Documents.

13.6 Non-Parties. In the case of any Tax Indemnitee that is not a party to this Agreement, the Borrower may require such Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, to perform its obligations under the provisions of this Article XIII before making any payment to such Tax Indemnitee under this Article XIII.

ARTICLE XIV

INCREASED COSTS, ETC.

14.1 Increased Costs.

14.1.1 If, by reason of any Change in Law occurring after the Initial Advance Date:

(a) a Lender or any Holding Company of such Lender has a reduction on its rate of return on its capital as relates to the class of assets and liabilities that includes its commitments and Loans made under this Agreement below that which such Lender or Holding Company would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into account the capital adequacy policies developed by such Lender in connection with the implementation of the Basel II accord);

(b) a Lender or any Holding Company of such Lender incurs a cost as a result of such Lender entering into or assuming or maintaining a commitment or performing its obligations (including its obligation to participate in the making of any Loans) under this Agreement; or

(c) there is any increase in the cost to a Lender or any Holding Company of such Lender of funding or maintaining all or any of the Loans comprised in a class of loans formed by or including such Lender’s share of the Loans made or to be made by such Lender, including any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement assessed against assets of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, such Lender;

then, subject to the provisions of this Article 14, the Borrower shall, from time to time on demand of the Facility Agent (on behalf of any Lender), promptly pay to the Security Trustee for the account of that Lender, amounts sufficient to hold harmless and indemnify such Lender on an After-Tax Basis, from and against, as the case may be, (x) the reasonably allocable portion of any such reduction in the rate of return on capital, (y) any such actual cost, (z) any such increased cost (or such proportion of such increased cost as is reasonably attributable to its participating in the funding or maintaining of the Loans) (together, “Increased Costs”); provided, that:

(d) the Borrower shall have no liability under this Section 14.1 in respect of any Taxes;

(e) the Borrower shall have no liability under this Section 14.1 if (i) the Borrower elects to repay the affected Loans and cancels the affected commitments pursuant to Section 6.6 hereof (provided that the Borrower shall nevertheless be liable under this Section 14.1 for increased costs relating to the period prior to such prepayment and cancellation), (ii) such Lender is not also seeking indemnification against similar increased costs, to the extent it is entitled to do so, in transactions with substantial borrowers (it being agreed that an officer’s certificate to the contrary from any such Lender shall constitute sufficient evidence of such fact) or (iii) the claim for Increased Costs arises out of a voluntary relocation by such Lender of its Facility Office;

(f) such Lender shall only be entitled to receive compensation for such Increased Costs from and after the time that is 120 days prior to the date the Increased Cost Notice referred below is received by Borrower; and

(g) such Lender will (at Borrower’s expense) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the amount of the Increased Costs associated with such event, including designating a different Facility Office to hold the Loans if such designation will

avoid or reduce such Increased Costs and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, result in any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage to such Lender (other than economic disadvantages for which the Borrower has provided an indemnity acceptable to such Lender).

14.1.2 A Lender intending to make a claim for Increased Costs pursuant to Section 14.1 shall, within thirty (30) days after becoming aware of the same, provide written notice to the Facility Agent and the Borrower in writing of the event by reason of which it is entitled to do so (the “Increased Cost Notice”); provided, that:

(a) the Increased Cost Notice shall described the events giving rise to such Increased Costs, the basis for determining and allocating such Increased Costs and the amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under this Article XIV, together with a statement that the determinations and allocations made in respect of the Increased Costs comply with the provisions of this Article XIV; and

(b) such Lender shall not be required to disclose any confidential information relating to the organization of its affairs, or its capital structure or return on capital.

14.2 Certificate of Lenders. A certificate of a Lender as to (i) any amount payable to it under this Agreement or (ii) the amount of any indemnity payable to it, or for its account, under this Article 14 shall, in either case and in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amount of such obligation of the Borrower so long the underlying determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis.

14.3 No Greater Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Lender changes its Facility Office or Facility Agent changes the office through which it is acting or Facility Agent or a Lender assigns or transfers the whole or any part of any Loan or its rights, benefits or obligations under this Agreement and such change, assignment or transfer would at the date of such change, assignment or transfer subject the Borrower to any greater obligation or liability under this Agreement or any other Operative Documents than it would have been under on such date if no such change, assignment or transfer had then taken place, then unless such change, assignment or transfer was made at the request of the Borrower in order to mitigate or avoid the requirement for payment of additional amounts or increased costs or after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any amounts in excess of the amount that it would have been obliged to pay had no change, assignment or transfer then taken place.

ARTICLE XV

OTHER INDEMNITIES

15.1 Currency Indemnity.

15.1.1 The United States Dollar is the currency of account and payment for each and every sum at any time due from Borrower hereunder except for amounts which are expressly stated to be due in any other currency. If any sum due from the Borrower under the Loan Documents (a “Sum”), or any order, judgment or award given or made in relation to a Sum,

has to be converted from the currency (the “First Currency”) in which that Sum is payable into another currency (the “Second Currency”) for the purpose of:

(i) making or filing a claim or proof against the Borrower;

(ii) obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings,

the Borrower shall, on an After-Tax Basis, as an independent obligation, within three (3) Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party to whom that Sum is due against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between (A) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (B) the rate or rates of exchange available to that person at the time of its receipt of that Sum.

15.1.2 The Borrower waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Loan Documents in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it is expressed to be payable.

15.2 Break Amounts. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any cost, loss or liability incurred by that Lender or deemed incurred by that Lender under this Section 15.2 (characterized as a “negative” Break Amount) as a result of:

(a) funding, or making arrangements to fund, its participation in an Advance requested by the Borrower in an Advance Request but not made for any reason (other than by reason of default by that Lender alone);

(b) any Loan (or part of such Loan) being repaid on a date other than an Interest Payment Date;

(d) any Loan (or part of such Loan) not being prepaid in accordance with a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower,

in each case including, without limitation, in relation to funds borrowed or mobilized, the liquidation or redeployment of any deposits taken or made, and/or the loss of margin, which amount shall be payable on the dates specified herein for payment of Break Amount. All “negative” Break Amounts hereunder shall be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan provided for herein (excluding the Applicable Margin) over (ii) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of the amount such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as

reasonably determined by such Lender). Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document (except as provided in Section 4.2.2), so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and as long as no other amounts are due and outstanding under this Agreement at the relevant time, the Borrower will receive the benefit from any “positive” Break Amount which may be realized by a Lender (being an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (ii) over (i) in the preceding sentence.

15.3 Indemnity to the Facility Agent. The Borrower shall, on an After-Tax Basis, promptly indemnify the Facility Agent against any reasonable cost, loss or liability incurred by the Facility Agent as a result of:

15.3.1 investigating any event which it reasonably believes is an Event of Default; or

15.3.2 acting or relying on any notice, request or instruction by the Borrower which it reasonably believes to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorized.

15.4 Enforcement Indemnity. Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Article 15 but subject to the limitations contained in Article XII and Article XIII, following the occurrence of an Event of Default and enforcement by the Security Trustee of its rights under the Security Documents and without prejudice to the financing provisions of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the indemnities contained herein), the Borrower will on demand, on an After-Tax Basis, indemnify each Finance Party against any loss, including without limitation Remarketing Expenses, incurred by that Finance Party, together with all costs and expenses associated with (i) funding the Lenders’ Purchase Price of any Aircraft and/or (ii) the transfer of title to, or the maintenance, insurance, storage of, remarketing or leasing of, any Aircraft incurred by that Finance Party prior to the date of any sale of that Aircraft, in each case following such enforcement by the Security Trustee.

ARTICLE XVI

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

16.1 Events of Default. The following events shall constitute “Events of Default” hereunder (whether any such event shall be voluntary or involuntary, or come about or be effected by operation of law, or pursuant to, or in compliance with, any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or Governmental Body the United States, or any other jurisdiction, or the administration or interpretation thereof) and each such Event of Default shall be deemed to exist and continue so long as, but only so long as, it shall not have been remedied or waived in writing by the Facility Agent:

(e) Any of the Security Documents, or the Security Interests intended to be created thereby, shall cease to constitute a duly perfected and enforceable security interest over the Collateral referred to therein with a preference and priority superior to that of all other Security Interests and if such cessation is capable of remedy, such situation continues for more than ten (10) Business Days other than as a result of any failure by a Finance Party to take any action required to be taken by it under the Operative Documents;

(f) The Borrower or Guarantor shall admit in writing its inability, or be generally unable, to pay its debts as such debt becomes due; or the Borrower or

Guarantor shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian, administrator, administrative receiver, trustee or liquidator of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iii) commence a voluntary case under the bankruptcy law (as now or hereafter in effect) of any relevant jurisdiction, (iv) file a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, protection or relief in a proceeding under any other law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, winding-up, or composition or readjustment of debts (as now or hereafter in effect) in any relevant jurisdiction, (v) fail to controvert in a timely and appropriate manner, or file an answer admitting the material allegations of, or otherwise acquiesce in writing to, any petition filed against it in an involuntary case under the bankruptcy law (as now or hereafter in effect) of any relevant jurisdiction, (vi) cease to carry on business, or (vii) take any corporate action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing;

16.2 Exercise of Remedies.

16.2.1 In the case of any Event of Default which is continuing, in addition to all other rights and remedies otherwise vested in, or available to, any of the Finance Parties under the Security Documents or otherwise:

(a) the Security Trustee, if so instructed by the Controlling Lenders, shall by notice to the Borrower (unless such notice is prohibited by applicable law), declare the

aggregate principal amount then outstanding of, and the accrued interest on, any or all of the Loans, any Break Amount, accrued commitment fees and any or all other amounts owing to the Finance Parties, to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such amounts shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand (except as aforesaid), protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and

(b) the Facility Agent may, and if so instructed by the Controlling Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower (unless such notice is prohibited by applicable law), cancel the Total Commitments whereupon they shall immediately be cancelled.

16.2.2 In the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in clause (f) or (g) of Section 16.1, in addition to all other rights and remedies otherwise vested in, or available to, any of the Finance Parties under the Security Documents or otherwise, the Total Commitments shall automatically be cancelled and the Loans, together with accrued interest, any Break Amount, accrued commitment fees and all other amounts owing to the Finance Parties under the Loan Documents shall automatically be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower (unless, subsequent to such automatic acceleration, such automatic acceleration is waived by the Controlling Lenders).

16.2.3 For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the fact that the Loans have been divided into Tranches or anything else to the contrary in any Loan Document, (i) any Event of Default in respect of any one or more Loans relating to any one or more Aircraft shall constitute an Event of Default, as applicable, in respect of all the Loans made hereunder and (ii) the entirety of the Collateral shall secure all of the Secured Obligations and the Finance Parties shall be entitled to apply the proceeds realized from the disposition of any item of Collateral to any or all of the Loans without regard to whether any such Loan relates to any particular Collateral.

17.2 Acceptance of Appointment. Each of the Lenders and the Facility Agent hereby appoints Bank of Utah to act as Security Trustee hereunder and Bank of Utah hereby accepts such appointment. The Security Trustee hereby covenants and agrees to perform and observe all of its covenants and undertakings set forth in this Agreement and in the Security Documents, which shall govern the duties and responsibilities of the Security Trustee to the Finance Parties.

17.3 Duties and Responsibilities of the Security Trustee to the Finance Parties.

17.3.1 In the event the Security Trustee shall have knowledge of an Event of Default (which shall not have been cured), the Security Trustee shall give prompt written notice of such Event of Default to the Facility Agent. Subject to the provisions of Section 17.3.3(v), the Security Trustee shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as the Security

Trustee shall be instructed in writing by the Controlling Lenders. In the absence of actual knowledge of an officer in the “Corporate Trust Department” or its equivalent of the Security Trustee, the Security Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event Default unless notified in writing of such Event of Default by the Facility Agent.

17.3.2 Subject to the terms of Sections 17.3.1 and 17.3.3, with respect to the Collateral and each Operative Document, upon the written instructions at any time and from time to time of the Controlling Lenders, the Security Trustee shall take such of the following actions as may be specified in such instructions: (i) give such notice or direction or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder or under the Operative Documents as shall be specified in such instructions; (ii) approve as satisfactory to the Security Trustee all matters expressly required by the terms hereof or thereof to be satisfactory to the Security Trustee, it being understood that without the written instructions of the Controlling Lenders the Security Trustee shall not approve any such matter as satisfactory to the Security Trustee; and (iii) execute such documents as may be required under this Agreement or any other Operative Document as may be specified from time to time in the written instructions of the Controlling Lenders.

17.3.3 No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Security Trustee from liability for the Security Trustee’s own gross negligence or its own willful misconduct, or its failure to use ordinary care in receiving, handling or disbursing funds except that:

(i) the duties and obligations of the Security Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, and the Security Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Security Trustee;

(ii) in the exercise of good faith, the Security Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Security Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Security Trustee, the Security Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Agreement or the other Operative Documents;

17.9 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Security Trustee.

17.9.1 The Security Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Facility Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) and the Borrower. Upon receiving such written notice of resignation and evidence satisfactory to it of such mailing, the Facility Agent (acting upon the instruction of the Controlling Lenders) shall promptly appoint a successor agent, by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an authorized officer or director of the Facility Agent, which successor shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Security Trustee so resigning, one copy to the successor agent and one copy to each of the Finance Parties. If no successor agent shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the

appointment of a successor agent, or the Finance Parties may petition any such court for the appointment of a successor agent. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, prescribe and appoint a successor agent reasonably acceptable to Facility Agent.

17.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Security Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 17.9 (Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Security Trustee) above shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the relevant beneficiaries, and to its predecessor agent an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the title, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder and under the Operative Documents to which its predecessor was a party, with like effect as if originally named as the “Security Trustee” herein and therein, and every provision hereof or thereof applicable to the retiring trustee shall apply to such successor trustee with like effect as if such successor trustee had been originally named herein and therein in the place and stead of the Security Trustee; but nevertheless, on the written request of a Finance Party, or of the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, the trustee ceasing to act shall transfer and deliver to such successor all monies, if any, the Aircraft, the Collateral, the Operative Documents and other property held by the trustee so ceasing to act, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act, and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer as may be reasonably requested by such successor trustee or required by any applicable law. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the relevant beneficiary shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers and recognizing the transfer of title as aforesaid, and shall do and perform any and all acts necessary to establish and maintain the title and rights of the successor trustee in and to the Aircraft, the Collateral, the Operative Documents and other property in the Collateral. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a Security Interest upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 17.7 (Security Trustee Not Liable for Delivery Delays or Defects in the Aircraft or Title or any Operative Document; May Perform Duties by other Finance Parties; Reimbursement of Expenses; Holding of the Operative Documents; Monies held in Trust). No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 17.10 (Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Security Trustee) unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 17.8 (Persons Eligible for Appointment as Security Trustee). Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this

Section 17.10 such successor trustee shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Finance Parties .

17.11 Merger or Consolidation of Security Trustee. Any corporation into which the Security Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or conversion or consolidation to which the Security Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Security Trustee, shall be the successor of the Security Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 17.8 (Persons Eligible for Appointment as Security Trustee), without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and in the event that any costs or expenses (including legal fees) arise in connection therewith, they shall be for the account of the Security Trustee.

17.12 Appointment of Additional and Separate Security Trustees. If at any time or times the Security Trustee shall deem it necessary or prudent in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which the Aircraft, the Collateral or any Loan Document shall be situated or in which any of the same is expected to be enforced, or the Security Trustee shall be advised by counsel that it is so necessary or prudent in the interest of the beneficiaries or the beneficiaries shall in writing so request the Security Trustee, the Security Trustee shall execute and deliver an agreement supplemental hereto and all other instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or trust company or one or more persons approved by the Security Trustee and the Facility Agent either to act as additional trustee or trustees of the Aircraft, the Collateral or the Loan Documents, jointly with the Security Trustee originally named herein or any successor or successors, or to act as separate agent or agents of the Aircraft, the Collateral or the Loan Documents, in any such case with such powers as may be provided in such supplemental agreement, and to vest in such bank, trust company or person as such additional agent or separate agent, as the case may be, any property, title, right or power of the Security Trustee deemed necessary or advisable, subject to the remaining provisions of this sub-Section, provided such person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 17.8 (Persons Eligible for Appointment as Security Trustee). The Security Trustee may execute, deliver and perform any deed, conveyance, assignment or other instrument in writing as may be required by any additional agent or separate agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it or him any property, title, right or powers which by the terms of such supplemental agreement are expressed to be conveyed or conferred to or upon such additional agent or separate agent. Every additional agent and separate agent hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act as and be such, and the Security Trustee and its successors as the Security Trustee shall act as and be such, subject to the following provisions and conditions:

17.12.1 all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Security Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of monies shall be exercised solely by the Security Trustee or its successor as Security Trustee;

17.12.2 all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Security Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Security Trustee or its successor as Security Trustee and such additional agent or agents and separate agent or agents jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in

which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Security Trustee or its successor as Security Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Aircraft in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such additional agent or agents or separate agent or agents;

17.12.3 no power hereby given to, or which it is hereby provided may be exercised by, any such additional agent or separate agent shall be exercised hereunder by such additional agent or separate agent except jointly with, or with the consent of, the Security Trustee or its successor as Security Trustee, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding; and

17.12.4 no agent hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other agent hereunder.

If at any time the Security Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or prudent in order to conform to any such law or shall be advised by such counsel that it is no longer so necessary or prudent in the interest of the Finance Parties then the Facility Agent shall in writing so request the Security Trustee, and the Security Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to remove any additional agent or separate agent. Any additional agent or separate agent may at any time by an instrument in writing constitute the Security Trustee his agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent which may be authorized by law, to do all acts and things and exercise all discretion which he is authorized or permitted to do or exercise, for and in his behalf and in his name. In case any such additional agent or separate agent shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the assets, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such additional agent or separate agent, as the case may be, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Security Trustee, without the appointment of a new successor to such additional agent or separate agent, unless and until a successor is appointed in the manner hereinbefore provided. Any request, approval or consent in writing by the Security Trustee to any additional agent or separate agent shall be sufficient warrant to such additional agent or separate agent, as the case may be, to take such action as may be so requested, approved or consented to. Each additional agent and separate agent appointed pursuant to this Section 17.12 (Appointment of Additional and Separate Security Trustees) shall be subject to, and shall have the benefit of, Section 17.3 (Duties and Responsibilities of the Security Trustee to the Finance Parties) and Section 17.4 (Certain Rights of the Security Trustee).

(ii) second, in or towards payment pro rata of any amounts due to the Lenders but unpaid under the Operative Documents (other than as provided in clause ”third” or “fourth” below);

19.7.2 the Security Trustee shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Lender would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Security Trustee and distributed in accordance with this Article XIX, without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Security Trustee in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

19.7.3 the Recovering Lender shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Security Trustee, pay to the Security Trustee an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Security Trustee determines may be retained by the Recovering Lender as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Section 19.5 (Partial Payments).

19.8 Redistribution of Payments. The Security Trustee shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the Borrower and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Lender) in accordance with Section 19.5 (Partial Payments).

19.9 Recovering Lender’s Rights.

19.9.1 On a distribution by the Security Trustee under Section 19.8 (Redistribution of Payments), the Recovering Lender will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in the redistribution.

19.9.2 If and to the extent that the Recovering Lender is not able to rely on its rights under Section 19.9.1, the Borrower shall be liable to the Recovering Lender for a debt equal to the Sharing Payment which is immediately due and payable.

19.10 Reversal of Redistribution. If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Lender becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Lender, then:

19.10.1 the Lenders which has received a share of the relevant Sharing Payment pursuant to Section 19.8 (Redistribution of Payments) shall, upon request of the Security Trustee, pay to the Security Trustee for account of that Recovering Lender an amount equal to its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Lender for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Lender is required to pay); and

19.10.2 that Recovering Lender’ rights of subrogation in respect of any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the Borrower will be liable to the reimbursing Lenders for the amount so reimbursed.

19.11 Exceptions.

ARTICLE XX

THE FINANCE PARTIES; ASSIGNMENT BY LENDERS

20.1 Conduct of Business by the Finance Parties. No provision of this Agreement or any other Operative Document will:

20.1.1 interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it deems appropriate in its sole discretion;

20.1.2 oblige any Finance Party to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it or the extent, order and manner of any claim (except as may otherwise expressly be set forth herein); or

20.1.3 oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax.

20.2 Assignments and Transfers by the Lenders. Subject to this Article XX, a Lender party hereto (the “Existing Lender”) may transfer to other banks or financial institutions all or any portion of its Loans and/or Commitments (any such transfer to be in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000.00) with the prior written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that any such consent of Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Existing Lender shall provide to the Borrower at least five (5) Business Days prior notice of the proposed transferee

(the “New Lender”) and the amount of the Loan Facility proposed to be transferred, together with evidence satisfactory to Borrower that the New Lender is a Permitted Transferee and a duly completed Transfer Certificate. If the Borrower shall not have responded to any request for its consent after expiry of such five (5) Business Day period and compliance by Lender with the conditions set forth in the previous sentence, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to such transfer. The costs of any such transfer (including any reasonable legal fees of counsel to the Parties to the Loan Documents) shall be payable by the Existing Lender (except in the case of an assignment or transfer that is effected at the request of the Borrower or during the continuation of an Event of Default, in which case, the cost of such assignment or transfer shall be payable by the Borrower), it being understood that in no event shall Facility Agent or Security Trustee (except as set out in this Section 20.2) or the Borrower (except as otherwise set out in this Section 20.2) bear any cost or expense or assume any additional liability arising out of any transfer contemplated in this Section 20.2.

20.3 Conditions of Assignment or Transfer.

20.3.1 An assignment will only be effective on receipt by the Facility Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent and the Borrower) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties and the Borrower as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender.

20.3.2 An assignment will only be effective if the procedure set out in Section 20.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.

20.3.3 No Lender may transfer or assign by novation any of its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents (it being agreed that any assignment shall nevertheless release the Existing Lender of the Discharged Rights and Obligations, as set forth in Section 20.5 below).

20.3.4 No Lender may transfer or assign any Loans or any interest therein if such transfer contravenes the provisions of any law, governmental rule or regulation, including without limitation the Securities Act, ERISA or the Code.

20.3.5 In the event that (i) a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents (other than upon request by the Borrower or after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default) or changes its Facility Office and (ii) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Section 13 (Tax Indemnities) or Section 14 (Increased Costs), then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office shall only be entitled to receive payment under those Sections to the same extent as the Existing Lender or, as the case may be, the relevant Lender, acting through its previous Facility Office, would have if the assignment, transfer or change, as the case may be, had not occurred.

20.4 Limitation of Responsibility of Existing Lender.

20.4.1 Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender, and any

representations or warranties implied by law are hereby excluded, including but not limited to any representations or warranties relating to:

(i) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Operative Documents or any other documents;

(ii) the financial condition of the Borrower or the Guarantor;

(iii) the performance and observance by the Borrower or the Guarantor of its obligations under the Operative Documents or any other documents; or

(iv) the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Operative Document or any other document.

20.4.2 Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it (i) has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Operative Document and (ii) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its related entities while any amount is or may be outstanding under the Operative Documents or any Commitment is in force.

20.4.3 Nothing in any Operative Document obliges an Existing Lender to indemnify a New Lender in respect of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under the Operative Documents or to support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Operative Documents or otherwise.

20.5 Procedure for Transfer.

20.5.1 Subject to the conditions set out in Section 20.3 (Conditions of Assignments and Transfers by the Lenders), a transfer is effected in accordance with Section 20.2 when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and to be delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.

20.5.2 On the Transfer Date:

(i) the Borrower and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Loan Documents, and their respective rights against one another shall be cancelled, in each case to the extent transferred to the New Lender (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);

(ii) subject to Section 20.3.4 the Borrower and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and acquire rights against one another which

differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as the Borrower and the New Lender have assumed and acquired the same in place of the Borrower and the Existing Lender;

(iii) the New Lender, the other Lenders and each of the other Finance Parties shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been a Lender with the rights and obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties shall each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement; and

(iv) the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.

20.5.3 The Facility Agent shall, promptly following the Transfer Date, notify each of the Lenders (other than the Existing Lender and the New Lender) and the Borrower of the identity of the New Lender.

20.6 Disclosure of Information. Any Lender may disclose to any other person:

20.6.1 to (or through) whom that Lender assigns or transfers (or may potentially assign or transfer) all or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

20.6.2 with (or through) whom that Lender enters into (or may potentially enter into) any participation or derivative transaction in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to, this Agreement or the Borrower; or

20.6.3 to whom, and to the extent that, information is required to be disclosed by any applicable law,

any information about the Borrower, the Guarantor and the Operative Documents as that Lender shall consider appropriate if such receiving party shall have agreed to be bound by confidentiality undertakings that are substantially the same as those to which the Lenders are bound hereunder and under Consent and Agreement.

20.7 Federal Reserve Pledge. Anything in this Section 20 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign (by way of security) all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to any person, including to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

20.8 Participations. A Lender may sell or agree to sell to one or more other persons (each, a “Participant”) a participation or sub-participation in all or any part of any Commitment and/or the Loans; provided, that: (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged (including but not limited to its obligation to make Advances); (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Borrower for the performance of such obligations; and (c) Borrower, the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee shall continue to deal solely with

such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Operative Documents. The grant by a Lender of such a participation or sub-participation shall not preclude any Participant from granting a sub-participation to one or more other persons but in each case, the granting of such participation or sub-participation shall not affect or increase the right of such Lender to any compensation pursuant to this Agreement, any such amount of compensation or obligation to be determined without respect to any participation or sub-participation which has been so granted; provided, however, that if the Borrower would be obliged to make a payment for the account of a Participant under Section 13 (Tax Indemnities) or Section 14 (Increased Costs), then the Participant shall only be entitled to receive payment under those Sections to the same extent as the Lender would have if the participation or sub-participation, as the case may be, had not occurred. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a participation or sub-participation hereunder is granted shall (i) provide that, as between the Borrower and the Lender, such Lender retains the sole and exclusive right to enforce the Operative Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Operative Documents in accordance their respective terms and (ii) contain confidentiality provisions equivalent in substantially all respects to those contained herein. The Lenders hereby agree to enforce such confidentiality provisions for the benefit of the Borrower.

MISCELLANEOUS

22.1 No Assignment by the Borrower. The Borrower shall not assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Operative Documents (except as expressly contemplated under the Security Documents) without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of all of the Lenders). For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall be entitled to enter into the transactions contemplated by Section 10.8 without the

prior consent of the Facility Agent subject only to compliance with the conditions contemplated therein.

22.2 Set Off. A Finance Party may set off any matured obligation due from the Borrower under the Loan Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to the Borrower, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set off.

22.3 Partial Invalidity. If, at any time, any provision of the Operative Documents is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.

22.4 Remedies and Waivers. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Party, any right or remedy under the Operative Documents shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

22.5 Amendments and Waivers.

22.5.1 Subject to Section 22.5.3 any term of the Loan Documents may be amended or waived only in writing with the consent of the Controlling Lenders and the Borrower and any such amendment or waiver will be binding on all Parties.

22.5.5 Any amendment or waiver made pursuant to this Section shall be made in writing.

22.7 Counterparts / Facsimile / PDF. Each Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, and this has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of the Loan Document. The delivery of an executed counterpart of each Loan Document by facsimile or by PDF shall be deemed to be the equivalent of the delivery of an originally executed original thereof (except for mortgages and other security documents as to which an original is required in order for the security to be valid and perfected).

22.8 Confidentiality. Each Party shall, and shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that its respective officers, directors, employees and agents, maintain as confidential and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Facility Agent, disclose to any third party the terms of any Operative Document, or any of the information, reports, invoices or documents (except to the extent that it is available on the Guarantor’s website) supplied by or on behalf of any of the Parties, save that a Party shall be entitled to disclose any such terms, information, reports, invoices or documents:

(a) in connection with any proceedings arising out of or in connection with any of the Operative Documents to the extent that such Party is advised by legal counsel that it is necessary to protect its interests or is legally required to do so; or if required to

(f) for due diligence purposes in connection with significant transactions or dealings involving any Party, and which are outside the ordinary course of that Party’s business, including investments, acquisitions or financings, to other potential parties to such dealings or transactions or their professional advisors, provided that such other parties (i) shall not be permitted to retain any copies of any of the Operative Documents or to disclose same to any third party; and (ii) shall enter into a confidentiality agreement on terms substantially similar to those contained in this Section 22, except that such confidentiality agreement shall not provide for any disclosure of the terms of the Operative Documents or any non-public information, including pursuant to this due diligence exemption; or

(g) if the information contained therein shall have emanated in conditions free from confidentiality restrictions from some person other than such Party and such Party would, but for the preceding provisions of this Section 23, have been free to disclose or use the same.
