such requirement;

conditional sale or other security agreement under circumstances where paragraph 3.03(c) above is inapplicable, provided that such

applicable law until compliance by the Borrower with such Section 5.02;

subject and subordinate to) all the terms of this Mortgage; provided that in the case of the use of an Aircraft in CRAF the subject
and subordinate requirements herein shall be subject to the notice specified in Section 12 of the Credit Agreement and other
requirements of the CRAF program. In the case of any lease, the Borrower shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance

agreement of the Collateral Agent shall not be for the benefit of any lessor or secured party of any airframe leased to the Borrower
or purchased by the Borrower subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement or for the benefit of any mortgagee of or any
other Lender of a security interest in an airframe owned by the Borrower, unless such lessor, conditional vendor, other secured party
or mortgagee has agreed (which agreement may be contained in such lease, conditional sale or other security agreement or mortgage and

--------
maintain (or cause to be affixed and maintained) in the cockpit of each Airframe and on each Engine a nameplate bearing the
inscription:
Mortgaged To
General Electric Capital Corporation, as Collateral Agent
(such nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of any successor to the Collateral Agent as
permitted under the Operative Documents).
Nothing herein contained shall prohibit the Borrower from placing its customary colors and insignia on each Airframe or any
Engine or from otherwise operating the Aircraft in its livery.
Article IV

REPLACEMENT AND POOLING OF PARTS; ALTERATIONS, MODIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 4.01 Replacement of Parts. The Borrower will promptly replace or cause to be replaced all Parts which may from time to
--------------------
time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for
any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.03. All replacement parts (other than replacement parts temporarily
installed as provided in Section 4.02) shall be free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens), and shall be in as good an
operating condition, and shall have a value and utility substantially equal to, the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were
in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof. All Parts at any time removed from any Airframe or any
Engine shall remain subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by
parts which meet the requirements for replacement parts specified above. Upon any replacement part becoming incorporated or
installed in or attached to any Airframe or any Engine, without further act (subject only to Permitted Liens and any arrangement
permitted by Section 4.02 hereof), (i) such replacement part shall become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage and be deemed a Part
for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or such
Engine and (ii) the replaced Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder.
Section 4.02 Pooling of Parts; Temporary Replacement Parts. Any Part removed from any Airframe or any Engine as provided in
---------------------------------------------
Section 4.01 hereof may be subjected by the Borrower to a pooling arrangement of the type which is permitted for Engines by
Section 3.03(a) hereof; provided that the Part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to such
Airframe or Engine in accordance with Section 4.01 as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part. In addition,
the Borrower may use temporary parts or pooled parts on an Aircraft as temporary replacements for Parts, provided that the Borrower
as promptly thereafter as practicable, either (1) causes such pooled or temporary replacement part to become subject to the Lien of
this Mortgage free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens or (2) replaces such replacement part with a further replacement
part owned by the Borrower which meets the requirements of Section 4.01 and which shall become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage,
free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens.
Section 4.03 Alterations, Modifications and Additions. The Borrower will make (or cause to be made) such alterations,
----------------------------------------
modifications and additions to the Airframes and Engines as may be required to meet the applicable standards of the FAA, subject to
clauses (2)(a)(i) and (ii) of Section 3.01. In addition, the Borrower may from time to time make such alterations and modifications
in and additions to any Airframe or any Engine as the Borrower may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including
removal of Parts which the Borrower deems to be obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use on such Airframe or such
Engine; provided that no such alteration, modification, removal or addition impairs the condition or airworthiness of such Airframe
or such Engine, or diminishes the value, utility and remaining useful life of such Airframe or such Engine below the value, utility
or remaining useful life thereof immediately prior to such alteration, modification, removal or addition, assuming that such Airframe
or such Engine is in the condition required hereunder. All parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to an Airframe or
an Engine as the result of such alteration, modification or addition (except those parts which the Borrower has leased from others
and Parts which may be removed by the Borrower pursuant to the next sentence) (the "Additional Part" or "Additional Parts") shall,
--------------- ----------------
without further act, become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may remove any
Additional Part, provided that such Additional Part (i) is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part
originally incorporated or installed in or attached to any Airframe or any Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder or any
Part in replacement of or substitution for any such Part, (ii) is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or
added to any Airframe or any Engine pursuant to the terms of Article III hereof or the first sentence of this Section 4.03, and
(iii) can be removed from such Airframe or such Engine without impairing the airworthiness of such Airframe or such Engine or
diminishing the value, utility and remaining useful life of such Airframe or such Engine which such Airframe or such Engine would
have had at such time had such alteration, modification or addition not occurred. Upon the removal thereof as provided above, such
Additional Parts shall be deemed free of Lien of this Mortgage.
Section 4.04 Improvements Owned by Others. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Mortgage, the Borrower may install or
----------------------------
permit to be installed in an Aircraft audio-visual, entertainment, telephonic or other equipment owned by third parties (or owned
jointly by the Borrower and others) and leased or otherwise furnished to the Borrower in the ordinary course of business, provided
that such equipment meets all requirements for removal of Additional Parts as specified in Section 4.03, and the Lien of this
Mortgage shall not attach thereto and the rights of the owners therein shall not constitute a default under the Operative Documents.
Section 4.05 Substitution of Engines. So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower
-----------------------
shall have the right at its option at any time on at least five Business Days' prior written notice, to terminate the Lien of this
Mortgage with respect to any Engine. In such event, and at the time of such termination, the Borrower shall replace such Engine
hereunder by complying with the terms of Section 5.02 hereof to the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to
such Engine (other than the time periods allowed for such replacement), and the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Lender or
the Administrative Agent on its behalf) shall release the replaced Engine from the Lien of this Mortgage as provided in Section 5.02.

------------------------------------------
an Airframe and the Engines and/or engines then installed thereon, the Borrower shall forthwith give the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent and the Lender written notice of such Event of Loss but in any event within five days of such occurrence. On the
earlier of (x) the 90th day following the occurrence of such Event of Loss or (y) the fifth Business Day following the receipt of the
insurance proceeds in respect of such Event of Loss, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent an amount
equal to the aggregate amount of the payment or payments of principal, Break Amount and Swap Breakage Amount (if any), Additional
Costs, interest and other amounts then due on or in respect of the Notes of the Series issued with respect to such Airframe and all
other amounts due under the Operative Documents.
Section 5.02 Event of Loss With Respect to an Engine. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under
---------------------------------------
circumstances in which there has not occurred an Event of Loss with respect to an Airframe, the Borrower shall forthwith give the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lender written notice thereof (but in any event within ten days of such
occurrence) and shall, within 60 days after the occurrence of such Event of Loss (or, in the case of an Event of Loss described in
clause (vi) of the definition thereof, within 90 days after the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, any Vice President or other
officer of the Borrower elected by the Borrower's Board of Directors has received actual knowledge of such Event of Loss), as
replacement for the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred, subject to the Lien of this Mortgage another CFM
International, Inc. Model CFM56-5B5/P engine (or an engine of the same manufacturer of an equivalent or an improved model and
suitable for installation and use on the Airframes and compatible with the other Engines mortgaged hereunder) free and clear of all
Liens (other than Inchoate Liens) and having a value and utility at least equal to, and being in as good an operating condition, as
the Engine subject to such Event of Loss, assuming such Engine was maintained in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage.
Prior to or at the time of any such conveyance, the Borrower will (i) cause a Mortgage Supplement with respect to such Replacement
Engine to be duly executed and filed for recording pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act, (ii) furnish the Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent with an opinion of the Borrower's counsel to the effect that such Replacement Engine is owned by Borrower free and
clear of all Liens (other than Inchoate Liens), and that upon execution and filing of the Mortgage Supplement or other required
document the Replacement Engine will be subject to the Lien of the Mortgage on a first priority and perfected basis; provided that,
in the case of any such Lien which ranks on par with or ahead in priority to the Lien of the Mortgage, the Borrower may satisfy the
foregoing requirement if the Borrower shall have provided a bond or other security in respect of such Lien in an amount and under
terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Lender, (iii) furnish a certificate signed by a
duly authorized officer of the Borrower stating with respect to any Replacement Engine: (1) a description of the Engine suffering
the Event of Loss, which shall be identified by manufacturer's serial number; (2) a description of the Replacement Engine (including
the manufacturer's name and serial number); (3) that on the date of the Mortgage Supplement relating to the Replacement Engine the
Borrower will be the owner of such Replacement Engine free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens, that such Replacement
Engine will be on such date in good working order (subject to maintenance permitted or required by this Mortgage) and condition and
that such Replacement Engine is of the same or an improved model of the Engine; and (4) that each of the conditions specified in this
Section 5.02 and Section 10.01 with respect to such Replacement Engine has been satisfied and (iv) furnish the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent with such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Article VI hereof with respect to such
Replacement Engine as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may reasonably request. Upon compliance by the Borrower with
all of the terms of this Section 5.02 and Section 13(a) of the Credit Agreement such Engine shall thereupon cease to be an Engine
secured hereunder. For all purposes hereof, each such Replacement Engine shall, after such conveyance, be deemed an "Engine"
hereunder.
Section 5.03 Application of Payments From Governmental Authorities for Requisition of Title, Etc. Any payments (other than
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
insurance proceeds the application of which is provided for in Article VI) received at any time by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent from any governmental authority or other Person with respect to an Event of Loss (other than a requisition for use by the
government of the United States of America not constituting an Event of Loss) will be applied as follows:
1. If payments are received with respect to an Airframe (or an Airframe or any Engines or engines then
installed thereon), after reimbursement of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Lender for reasonable costs and
expenses, so much of such payments remaining as shall not exceed the amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 5.01 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent and applied in reduction of the Borrower's obligation to pay such other
amounts, if not already paid by the Borrower, or, if already paid by the Borrower, shall be applied to reimburse the Borrower for its
payment of such amounts, and following the foregoing application, the balance, if any, of such payments shall be paid to the
Borrower; and
2. If such payments are received with respect to an Engine under circumstances contemplated by Section 5.02
hereof, so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Lender for
reasonable costs and expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Borrower, provided that the Borrower shall have fully
performed, or will perform, the terms of Section 5.02 with respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.
Section 5.04 Requisition for Use of the Aircraft by the United States Government or the Government of Registry of the Aircraft.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the event of the requisition for use of an Airframe or the Engines or engines installed on such Airframe by the government of the
United States of America or any other government of registry of an Aircraft or any instrumentality or agency of any thereof or a CRAF
activation, in either case not constituting an Event of Loss, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent of such requisition or activation, and all of the Borrower's obligations under this Mortgage with respect to such
Aircraft shall continue to the same extent as if such requisition or activation had not occurred. All payments received by the
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or the Borrower from such government for the use of such Airframe and Engines or engines shall
be paid over to, or retained by, the Borrower.
Section 5.05 Application of Payments During Existence of Special Defaults or Events of Default. Any amount referred to in this
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Article V which is payable to or retainable by the Borrower shall not be paid to or retained by the Borrower if at the time of such
payment or retention a Special Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be held by or paid
over to the Administrative Agent as security for the obligations of the Borrower under this Mortgage and, if the Collateral Agent
declares this Mortgage to be in default pursuant to Section 12 of the Credit Agreement, applied against the Borrower's obligations
hereunder as and when due. At such time as there shall not be continuing any such Special Default or Event of Default, such amount
shall be paid to the Borrower to the extent not previously applied in accordance with the preceding sentence.
Article VI

INSURANCE
---------
Section 6.01 Bodily Injury Liability and Property Damage Liability Insurance.
---------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 6.01, and subject to the self insurance to the extent permitted by
Section 6.04 and the provisions of Section 6.08, the Borrower will at all times carry and maintain or cause to be carried and
maintained, on a non-discriminatory basis and with insurers of internationally recognized responsibility acceptable to the
Administrative Agent (which acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), airline liability insurance, including
passenger legal liability, bodily injury liability, war risk and allied perils liability, property damage liability, and contractual
liability (exclusive of manufacturer's product liability insurance) with respect to each Aircraft in an amount per occurrence not
less than $500,000,000. The Borrower shall maintain cargo liability insurance in an amount not less than the amount of cargo
liability insurance maintained for other aircraft operated by the Borrower.
(b) During any period that an Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation, the Borrower may carry or cause to be carried, in
lieu of the insurance required by paragraph (a) above, and subject to the self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 6.04,
insurance otherwise conforming to the provisions of said paragraph (a) except that (i) the amounts of coverage shall not be required
to exceed the amounts of bodily injury liability and property damage liability insurance from time to time applicable to aircraft
owned or leased by major U.S. carriers of the same or similar type as such Aircraft which are on the ground and not in operation and
(ii) the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be consistent with industry practice and the same as from time to
time shall be applicable to aircraft owned or leased by major U.S. carriers of the same or similar type which are on the ground and
not in operation and will be consistent with industry practice.
Section 6.02 Insurance Against Loss or Damage to the Aircraft.
------------------------------------------------
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02 and the provisions of Section 6.08, and subject to the provisions
of Section 6.04 permitting self-insurance, the Borrower shall at all times carry and maintain or cause to be carried and maintained,
on a non-discriminatory basis, in effect with insurers of internationally recognized responsibility acceptable to the Administrative
Agent (which acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (i) "all risk" aircraft hull insurance covering each Aircraft
(with flight, taxiing and ingestion coverages), (ii) fire, transit and extended coverage of Engines and Parts while removed from an
Aircraft (providing insurance for replacement value), and (iii) war risk and allied perils insurance, including governmental
confiscation and expropriation (other than by the government of registry of an Aircraft) and hijacking insurance (collectively, "War
----
Risk Insurance"); provided that, in the case of War Risk Insurance, such insurance shall only be required to be maintained (x) with
--------------
respect to the buy-backs covering strikes, sabotage, confiscation and hijacking contained in London Form LSW 555B and (y) with
respect to terms and provisions of War Risk Insurance in addition to those covered by the preceding clause (x), (A) if and to the
extent the same is maintained by the Borrower with respect to other aircraft owned or operated by the Borrower on the same routes or
(B) if an Aircraft is operated in a war zone (unless the Borrower obtains indemnification in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 6.06
hereof) or (C) if and to the extent the same is industry standard for major U.S. carriers operating similarly-sized aircraft on
similar routes; provided, further, that the foregoing insurance shall at all times while an Aircraft is subject to this Mortgage be
for an amount (taking into account self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 6.04) not less than the Stipulated Insured
Amount. In the case of a loss with respect to an engine (other than an Engine) installed on an Airframe, the Administrative Agent
shall hold any payment received by it of any hull insurance proceeds in respect of such loss for account of the Borrower or any other
third party to the extent the Borrower or such third party is entitled to receive such proceeds.
Except during a period when a Special Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (in which case all
losses will be adjusted by the loss payee), all losses will be adjusted with the insurers by the Borrower (giving due regard to the
interest of the Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent). It is agreed that all insurance payments received under insurance
policies required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.02 as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss
will be applied as follows:
1. if such payments are received with respect to an Airframe (or such Airframe and the Engines installed
thereon), payments as shall not exceed the amounts due pursuant to Section 10(f) of the Credit Agreement shall be applied, after
reimbursement of the Administrative Agent for reasonable costs and expenses, in reduction of the Borrower's obligation to pay such
amounts, if not already paid by the Borrower, or, if already paid by the Borrower, shall be applied to reimburse the Borrower for its
payment of such amounts and the balance, if any, of such payments remaining thereafter will be paid over to, or retained by, the
Borrower; and
2. if such payments are received with respect to an Engine under the circumstances contemplated by
Section 5.02 hereof, such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Borrower, provided that the Borrower shall have fully
performed or, concurrently therewith, will fully perform the terms of Section 5.02 with respect to the Event of Loss for which such
payments are made.
The insurance payments for any property damage loss to any Airframe or any Engine not constituting an Event of Loss with
respect thereto or with respect to an Event of Loss of an Engine shall be paid as follows: all payments in respect of losses less
than or equal to $750,000 shall be paid to the Borrower, and all payments with respect to losses greater than $750,000 shall be paid
to the Administrative Agent, to be held as collateral security for the Borrower's obligations hereunder, and applied to reimburse the
Borrower for accomplishing repairs and/or replacements as required, or to pay suppliers directly for such repairs and/or replacements
as directed by the Borrower. In the case of any payment to the Administrative Agent (other than in respect of an Event of Loss of an
Aircraft), the Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the damage giving rise to such
payment shall have been repaired or that such payment shall then be required to pay for repairs then being made or the replacement of
the Engine suffering the Event of Loss, pay the amount of such payment, and any interest or income earned thereon, to the Borrower or
its order.
(b) During any period that an Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation, the Borrower may carry or cause to be carried, in
lieu of the insurance required by paragraph (a) above, and subject to the self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 6.04,
insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said paragraph (a), except that the scope of the risks and the type of
insurance shall be the same as from time to time applicable to aircraft owned or leased and operated by major U.S. carriers of the
same or similar type similarly on the ground and not in operation, provided that, subject to the self-insurance to the extent
permitted by Section 6.04, the Borrower shall maintain insurance against risk of loss or damage to such Aircraft in an amount at
least equal to the Stipulated Insured Amount during such period that such Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation.
Section 6.03 Reports, Etc. The Borrower will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative
-------------
Agent on or before each Delivery Date and annually on or before the renewal dates of the Borrower's relevant insurance policies, a
report, signed by a recognized independent firm of insurance brokers, which brokers may be regularly retained by the Borrower (the
"Insurance Brokers"), describing in reasonable detail the hull and liability insurance then carried and maintained with respect to
------------------
each Aircraft and stating the opinion of such firm that, to the best of its knowledge, such insurance complies with the terms of
Article VI. Such information shall remain confidential as provided in Section 21 of the Credit Agreement. The Borrower will cause
the Insurance Brokers to agree to advise the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent in writing (a) of any default in the
payment of premium and of any other act or omission on the part of the Borrower of which it has actual knowledge and which will
invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance as required by the terms hereof, (b) at least thirty (30) days
(seven (7) days in the case of War Risk Insurance) prior to the cancellation (but not scheduled expiration) or material adverse
change of any insurance maintained pursuant to this Article VI, provided that, in respect of the War Risk Insurance, if the notice
period specified above is not obtainable, the Insurance Brokers shall provide for as long a period of prior notice as shall then be
obtainable and (c) if any of the insurance required by this Article VI are not renewed on the same terms (save as to premium and
period of cover and as the Administrative Agent might otherwise have notified to the Insurance Brokers to be acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent) seven (7) days prior to expiry thereof. In the event that the Borrower shall fail to
maintain or cause to be maintained insurance as herein provided, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole option, provide such
insurance and, in such event, the Borrower shall, upon demand, reimburse the Administrative Agent for the cost thereof.
Section 6.04 Self-Insurance. The Borrower may self-insure, by way of deductible, premium adjustment provisions in insurance
--------------
policies, or otherwise, under a program applicable to all aircraft in the Borrower's fleet, the risks required to be insured against
pursuant to Sections 6.01 and 6.02 but in no case shall the self-insurance with respect to an Aircraft exceed $750,000 per
occurrence; provided that no deductible shall be applicable in the case of a total loss of an Airframe. In the event the prevailing
industry minimum deductible for aircraft similar to the Aircraft increases, the Borrower and Administrative Agent shall consult one
another toward a mutually agreeable modified deductible, such modified deductible to be effective only upon the written consent of
the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lender).
Section 6.05 Additional Insurance by Borrower. The Borrower may carry for its own account at its sole cost and expense insurance
--------------------------------
with respect to its interest in the Aircraft, provided that such insurance does not prevent the Borrower from carrying the insurance
required or permitted by this Article VI or adversely affect such insurance provided hereunder or the cost thereof.
Section 6.06 Indemnification by Government in Lieu of Insurance. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Article VI requiring
--------------------------------------------------
insurance, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender agrees to accept, in lieu of insurance against any risk with respect to
the Aircraft, indemnification from, or insurance provided by, the government of the United States of America or any agency or
instrumentality thereof the obligations of which are supported by the full faith and credit of the government of the United States of
America, against such risk in an amount which, when added to the amount of insurance against such risk maintained by the Borrower
shall be at least equal to the amount of insurance against such risk otherwise required by this Article VI (taking into account self
insurance permitted by Section 6.04). The Borrower shall furnish, in advance of attachment of such indemnity or insurance, if
practical to do so, a certificate of a responsible financial or legal officer of the Borrower confirming in reasonable detail the
amount and scope of such indemnification or insurance and that such indemnification or insurance complies with the preceding sentence.
Section 6.07 Application of Payments During Existence of a Special Default or an Event of Default. Any amount referred to in
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this Article VI which is payable to or retainable by or to be held for the benefit of the Borrower shall not be paid to or retained
by or held for the benefit of the Borrower if at the time of such payment or retention a Special Default or an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, but shall be held by or paid over to the Administrative Agent, as security for the obligations of
the Borrower under this Mortgage and, if the Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall have declared
this Mortgage or the Credit Agreement to be in default, applied against the Borrower's obligations hereunder as and when due. At
such time as there shall not be continuing any such Special Default or Event of Default, such amount shall be paid to the Borrower to
the extent not previously applied in accordance with the preceding sentence.
Section 6.08 Terms of Insurance Policies. Any policies carried in accordance with Sections 6.01 and 6.02 covering the Aircraft,
---------------------------
and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies, as applicable, (1) shall name the Additional
Insureds as additional insureds, as their interests may appear, (2) shall name the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lender) as
sole loss payee to the extent provided in clause (12) below, (3) may provide for self-insurance to the extent permitted in
Section 6.04, (4) shall provide that if the insurers cancel such insurance for any reason whatsoever, or if any material change is
made in the insurance which adversely affects the interest of any Additional Insured, such cancellation or change shall not be
effective as to the Additional Insureds for thirty (30) days after receipt by (but, in the case of War Risk Insurance, seven (7) days
after sending to) the Additional Insureds of written notice by such insurers of such cancellation or change, provided, however, that
-------- -------
if, in respect of the War Risk Insurance, any notice period specified above is not obtainable, such policies shall provide for as
long a period of prior notice as shall then be obtainable, (5) shall provide that in respect of the Additional Insureds' respective
interests in such policies the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the Borrower and shall insure the
respective interests of the Additional Insureds regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition
contained in such policies by the Borrower, (6) shall be primary without any right of contribution from any other insurance which is
carried by any Additional Insured, (7) shall expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability,
shall operate in the same manner as if a separate policy covered each insured, (8) shall waive any right of subrogation of the
insurers or any right of the insurers to set-off or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in
respect of any liability of any Additional Insured but only to the extent of the indemnities provided under the Credit Agreement,
(9) shall provide that losses (other than for total loss of an Aircraft) shall be adjusted with the Borrower (or, if an Event of
Default shall have occurred which is continuing, with the Administrative Agent), (10) shall provide that the Additional Insureds are
not liable for any insurance premiums, (11) shall be effective with respect to both domestic and international operations, (12) shall
provide that (i) except as specified in clause (iii) of this sub-section, in the event of a loss involving payments in excess of
$750,000, all payments in respect of such loss up to the amount of Stipulated Insured Amount (whether such payment is made to the
Borrower or any third party) shall be paid to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender, it being understood and agreed that
in the case of any payment to the Administrative Agent otherwise than in respect of an Event of Loss of an Aircraft, the
Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the damage giving rise to such payment shall
have been repaired or that such payment shall then be required to pay for repairs then being made or the replacement of the Engine
suffering the Event of Loss, pay the amount of such payment, and any interest or income earned thereon, to the Borrower or its order,
(ii) except as specified in clause (iii) of this sub-section, all proceeds of $750,000 or less (regardless of the total amount of
proceeds resulting from such loss) and any payments of any loss in excess of Stipulated Insured Amount for an Aircraft shall be paid
to the Borrower or its order and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), if a
Special Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the insurers have been notified thereof by the
Administrative Agent, all payments of loss shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, (13) if war risk coverage is maintained, shall
contain a 50/50 clause as per AVS 103, and (14) if the policy (or policies) contains (or contain) an electronic date recognition
exclusion such as AVN 2000, to include AVN 2001 and AVN 2002 or such other writebacks for hull and liability coverage as are
customary for commercial airlines in the United States.
