The Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency that may result from a sale of
the collateral and shall pay any such deficiency forthwith on demand.
If the Debtor shall default in the performance of any of the provisions of this
Agreement on the Debtor's part to be performed, Secured Party may perform same
for the Debtor's account and any moneys expended in so doing shall be chargeable
to the Debtor and added to the indebtedness secured hereby.

from such indebtedness immediately upon repayment in full as described herein.

the Secured Party with an independent aircraft appraisal as evidence of the new
collateral's value. The Debtor represents and warrants that those warranties
and covenants provided upon the initial collateral shall be reaffirmed upon the
