Section 6. Power of Attorney. Each Obligor hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender as its attorney-in-fact and agent with full power of substitution and resubstitution for it and in its name (which power shall be exercisable only during the existence of an Event of Default) and coupled with an interest in the Collateral to endorse the name of such Obligor on any checks or other instruments or evidences of payment or other documents in connection with or pertaining to the Collateral that may come into the possession of the Lender; to compromise, prosecute or defend any action, claim or proceeding concerning the Collateral provided that the Lender has given notice of same to such Obligor; to do any and all acts which such Obligor is obligated hereby to do with respect to the Collateral; to exercise such rights as such Obligor might exercise with respect to the Collateral; to give notice of the Lender’s security interest in and to collect the Collateral and any proceeds thereof, and to execute and file in such Obligor’s name any financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto required to perfect, maintain perfected or further perfect the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral granted hereunder, for the purposes of protecting and preserving the Collateral and the Lender’s rights hereunder and therein, as and to the extent otherwise provided herein; and to do and perform each and every act necessary and property to carry out the purposes contemplated in this Agreement, as such Obligor might or could do, if personally present, and such Obligor hereby ratifies and approves all that the Lender shall do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
Section 7. Operation, Maintenance and Repair. The Obligors shall operate, maintain and repair the Collateral and retain actual control and possession thereof in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) The Obligors shall have complete use of the Collateral until an Event of Default, and the Obligors shall use, operate, maintain and store the Collateral, or any part hereof, properly, carefully and in compliance with all applicable statutes, ordinances, regulations, policies of insurance and manufacturer’s recommendations, including the recommendations or requirements set forth in manufacturer’s operating and maintenance manuals.
(b) The Obligors agree that the Collateral will be operated only by duly certified and qualified pilots and shall be based within the geographical boundaries of the United States of America.
(c) The Obligors shall be responsible for and pay for all expenses of owning and operating the Collateral, including, but not limited to, storage, fuel, lubricants, service, inspections, overhauls, replacements, maintenance and repairs, all in compliance with the manufacturer’s operating and maintenance manuals and with Federal Aviation Administration rules and regulations. The Obligors shall properly maintain all records pertaining to the maintenance and operation of the Collateral.
Section 8. Insurance. The Obligors will, at their own expense, keep the Collateral insured at all times against loss, damage, theft and such other casualties as the Lender may reasonably require (including hull insurance) in such amounts, under such forms of policies, upon such terms, for such periods and with such companies or underwriters as the Lender may (but has no obligation to) approve. Such insurance policies shall name the Lender as additional insured on liability coverage and as loss payee on all-risk coverage. Losses or refunds in all cases shall be payable to the Lender and the Obligors as their interests may appear. In no event
4
shall the amount of such physical damage insurance be less than the greater of the full replacement value or the fair market value of the Aircraft. All policies of insurance shall provide for at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of cancellation to the Lender, and shall contain a breach of warranty endorsement in favor of the Lender. The Lender may obtain such insurance if the Obligors do not provide such insurance. The Obligors shall furnish to the Lender proof satisfactory to the Lender of compliance with the provisions of this Section 8. The Lender, and its assigns, are each hereby irrevocably appointed attorneys-in-fact for the Obligors coupled with an interest in the Collateral to endorse for any Obligor any checks, drafts or other instruments whatsoever payable to such Obligor as proceeds or refunds for any such insurance and to make claims of loss and to sign proofs of loss against any insurance company and to receive all payments. The Obligors will pay any deductible portion of such insurance. All risk of loss, damage, destruction or confiscation shall at all times be with the Obligors.
Section 9. Each Obligor’s Possession. Until the existence of an Event of Default, the Obligors may have possession of the Collateral and use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement and the Loan Agreement. The Lender may examine and inspect the Collateral, wherever located, at all reasonable times, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement. At its option, but without assuming any obligation to do so, the Lender may discharge taxes, liens or security interests, or other encumbrances levied or asserted against the Collateral, may place and pay for insurance thereof, may order and pay for the repair, maintenance and preservation thereof, and may pay any necessary filing or recording fees. Amounts paid by the Lender under the preceding sentence shall be added to the Secured Obligations, shall be secured by the Collateral and shall be payable upon demand, together with interest at the rate computed as provided in the Loan Agreement until paid in full. The Obligors shall at all times keep the Collateral and any proceeds therefrom separate and distinct from other property of the Obligors and shall keep accurate and complete records of the Collateral and any such proceeds.
Section 10. Default. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Lender may require the Obligors to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at a place to be designated by the Lender which is reasonably convenient to both parties. The requirements of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code for reasonable notification to the Obligors of the time and place of any proposed public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to each Obligor’s address, as shown herein, at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition. The proceeds of any such disposition shall be applied to pay the Secured Obligations in the manner contemplated by the Loan Agreement. The Obligors shall be jointly and severally liable for any deficiency after application of such proceeds, to the extent permitted by law. If after the default by any Obligor, the Collateral is returned to or recovered by the Lender, the Obligors agree the Lender may fly or otherwise move the Collateral for demonstration or other purposes reasonably related to a proposed public or private sale or other disposition of the Collateral.
Section 11. Waiver of Default. No waiver by the Lender of any default or Event of Default shall be effective unless in writing, nor operate as a waiver of any other default or Event of Default or of the same default or Event of Default in the future.
5
Section 12. Restriction on Transfer or Liens. No Obligor will, without the prior written consent of the Lender, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the Collateral, or any interest therein, or offer to do so or remove or attempt to remove the Collateral from the United States of America (except in the normal operation of each Obligor’s business or except as permitted under the Loan Agreement). Except as permitted under the Loan Agreement, the Obligors will keep the Collateral free from any adverse security interest, lien or encumbrance and will not permit the Collateral to be attached or replevied.
Section 13. Taxes. The Obligors will promptly pay, when due, all taxes and assessments upon the Collateral or upon its use or operation.
Section 14. Change of Address. The Obligors represent that their chief executive office is at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000-0000.
