If a Liquidity Provider advises the Subordination Agent on or before the end of the Consent Period that such Stated Expiration Date shall not be so extended or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Subordination Agent on or before the end of the Consent Period that such Stated Expiration Date shall be so extended or gives a Withdrawal Notice to the Subordination Agent prior to the end of the Consent Period (and, in each case, if such Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.05(e)), the Subordination Agent shall, on the date on which the Consent Period ends (or as soon as possible thereafter but prior to the Stated Expiration Date), in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the terms of theNon-Extended Facility, request aNon-Extension Drawing under suchNon-Extended Facility of the Available Amount thereunder.

Subject to Section 4.01(a)(iii), if the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture have been Accelerated following an Indenture Event of Default with respect thereto, the Controlling Party may direct the Subordination Agent to sell, assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver all (but not less than all) of such Equipment Notes to any Person at public or private sale, at any location at the option of the Controlling Party, all upon such terms and conditions as the Controlling Party may reasonably deem advisable and in accordance with applicable law.

(ii) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Event of Default under any Indenture, in the exercise of remedies pursuant to such Indenture, the Loan Trustee under such Indenture may be directed to lease the related Aircraft to any Person (including Delta) so long as the Loan Trustee in doing so acts in a “commercially reasonable” manner within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction (includingSections 9-610and 9-627 thereof).

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Certificates remain Outstanding, during the period ending on the date which is nine months after the earlier of (x) the Acceleration of the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture or (y) the occurrence of a Delta Bankruptcy Event, without the consent of each Trustee (other than the Trustee of any Trust all of the Certificates of which are held or beneficially owned by Delta and/or its Affiliates), no Aircraft subject to the Lien of such Indenture or such Equipment Notes may be sold if the net proceeds from such sale would be less than the Minimum Sale Price for such Aircraft or such Equipment Notes.

In addition, in lieu of such sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, or in lieu of such maintenance of possession, the Controlling Party may direct the Subordination Agent to, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Indenture, instruct the Loan Trustee under such Indenture to foreclose on the Lien on the related Aircraft or to take any other remedial action permitted under such Indenture or under any applicable law.

Thereafter, neither the Subordination Agent nor any Trustee, whether acting on instructions of the Controlling Party or otherwise, may, without the consent of each Trustee and each Liquidity Provider that has not made a Final Drawing, enter into any term sheet, stipulation or other agreement (a “Restructuring Arrangement”) (whether in the form of an adequate protection stipulation, an extension under Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) to effect any such restructuring proposal with or on behalf of Delta unless and until the material economic terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal shall have been made available to all Certificateholders and each Liquidity Provider that has not made a Final Drawing for a period of not less than 15 days (except that such requirement shall not apply to any such term sheet, stipulation or other agreement that is to be effective on or as of any date occurring duringthe 60-Day Period and that is initially effective for a period not exceeding three months from the expiry ofthe 60-Day Period (an “Interim Restructuring Arrangement”)). The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.01(c): (i) shall not apply to any extension of a Restructuring Arrangement with respect to which such provisions have been complied with in connection with the original entry thereof if the possibility of such extension has been disclosed in satisfaction of the notification requirements of such provisions and such extension shall not amend or modify any of the other terms and conditions of such Restructuring Arrangement and (ii) shall apply to the initial extension of an Interim Restructuring Arrangement beyond the three months following the expiry ofthe 60-Day Period but not to any subsequent extension of such Interim Restructuring

Intercreditor Agreement (2020-1)

Arrangement, if the possibility of such subsequent extension has been disclosed in satisfaction of the notification requirements of such provisions and such subsequent extension shall not amend or modify any of the other terms and conditions of such Interim Restructuring Arrangement. In the event that any Certificateholder gives irrevocable notice of the exercise of its right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Class of Certificates represented by the then Controlling Party pursuant to the applicable Trust Agreement, prior to the expiry ofthe 15-day notice period specified above, such Controlling Party may not direct the Subordination Agent or any Trustee to enter into any such restructuring proposal with respect to any of the Aircraft, unless and until such Certificateholder shall fail to purchase such Class of Certificates on the date that it is required to make such purchase.

No delay or omission by any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default or to be an acquiescence therein.
