(e) all rents, revenues and other proceeds collected or required to

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.01, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, (i) the Company shall have the right, to the exclusion of the

Collateral, and peaceably and quietly, without hindrance or molestation, to
possess, use, retain and control the Pledged Spare Parts, (ii) subject always to
compliance with Section 3.02(c)(2) hereof, the Company shall have the right to
dispose of Spare Parts Documents in the ordinary course of its business, and
(iii) the Company shall have the right, to the exclusion of the Security
Trustee, with respect to the Warranties and the Software Support Agreements, to
exercise in the Company's name all rights and powers as the beneficiary, owner
and/or licensee thereof and to retain any recovery or benefit resulting from the
enforcement of any warranty, indemnity or other contract right under the
Warranties and the Software Support Agreements;
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Collateral unto the Security Trustee, its
successors and assigns, forever, upon the terms herein set forth, for the
benefit, security and protection of the Security Trustee, and for the uses and
purposes and subject to the terms and provisions set forth in this Mortgage.
It is expressly agreed that anything herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall remain liable under the Warranties
and the Software Support Agreements to perform all of the obligations assumed by
it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions
thereof, and the Security Trustee shall have no obligation or liability under
the Warranties or Software Support Agreements by reason of or arising out of the
assignment hereunder, nor shall the Security Trustee be required or obligated in
any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of the Company under any of the
Warranties or Software Support Agreements, or, except as herein expressly
provided, to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or
sufficiency of any payment received by it, or present or file any claim, or take
any action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts which may have been
assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
The Company does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the
Security Trustee the true and lawful attorney of the Company (which appointment
is coupled with an interest) with full power (in the name of the Company or
otherwise) to ask, require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for
any and all moneys and claims for moneys (in each case including insurance and
requisition proceeds) and all other property which now or hereafter constitutes
part of the Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in
connection therewith and to file any claims or to take any action or to
institute any proceeding which the Security Trustee may deem to be necessary or
advisable to collect such property which
3
constitutes Collateral; provided that the Security Trustee shall not exercise
any such rights except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default; provided, further, that the exercise of such rights shall at
all times be subject to the rights of the Senior Trustee under the Senior
Mortgage and to the provisions of Section 4.01(c) of this Mortgage. Without
limiting the provisions of the foregoing, during the continuance of any Event of
Default, but subject to the terms hereof and any mandatory requirements of
applicable Law, the Security Trustee shall have the right under such power of
attorney in its discretion to file any claim or to take any other action or
proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of the Company or otherwise,
that the Security Trustee may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to
protect and preserve the right, title and interest of the Security Trustee in
and to the security intended to be afforded hereby. The Company hereby agrees
that, if the Lien of the Senior Mortgage has been discharged, promptly on
receipt thereof, except as otherwise contemplated by the Operative Documents, it
will transfer to the Security Trustee any and all moneys from time to time
received by the Company constituting part of the Collateral, for distribution by
the Security Trustee pursuant to this Mortgage.
The Company does hereby warrant and represent that it has not sold
or assigned, and hereby covenants that it will not sell or assign, so long as
this Mortgage shall remain in effect and the Lien hereof shall not have been
released pursuant to the provisions hereof, any of its estate, right, title or
interest hereby assigned, to any Person other than the Security Trustee, except
as provided in the Senior Mortgage or as expressly permitted herein or in any
other Operative Document.
The Company agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon the
written request of the Security Trustee, the Company will promptly and duly
execute and deliver or cause to be duly executed and delivered any and all such
further instruments and documents as the Security Trustee may reasonably deem
necessary to perfect and protect the priority of the security interests and
assignments created hereby and to obtain the full benefits of the security
interest granted hereunder and of the rights and powers herein granted.

more than sixty (60) days or are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings so long as such Liens and such proceedings do not

(h) Liens attributable to the Security Trustee; and

"Permitted Liens." The Company shall promptly, at its own expense, take such
action as may be necessary to duly discharge (by bonding or otherwise) any such
Lien on the Collateral other than a Permitted Lien arising at any time.
Section 3.02. Possession, Use, Designated Locations, Excluded
Locations, Permitted Sales, Maintenance and Identification.
(a) Possession. Without the prior written consent of the Security Trustee,
the Company will not sell, lease, transfer or relinquish possession of any
Pledged Spare Part to anyone except as permitted by the provisions of Sections
3.02(b) of this Mortgage and except that the Company shall, subject to Section
3.03, have the right, in the ordinary course of business, (i) to transfer
possession of any Pledged Spare Part to the manufacturer thereof or any
5
other organization for testing, overhaul, repairs, maintenance, alterations or
modifications or to any Person for the purpose of transport to any of the
foregoing or (ii) to subject any Pledged Spare Part to a pooling, exchange,
borrowing or maintenance servicing agreement arrangement and entered into in the
ordinary course of business (provided always that no such arrangement results in
any Pledged Spare Part being stored at a location other than one of the
Designated Locations, or being commingled with any Excluded Parts and/or any
other Spare Parts and/or Appliances that are not Pledged Spare Parts).
(b) Use; Designated Locations; Excluded Locations, Permitted Sales,
Dispositions or Modifications.
(1) Use. Subject to the terms of this Mortgage (including, without
limitation, Section 3.03 hereof), the Company shall have the right, at any time
and from time to time at its own cost and expense, without any release from or
consent by the Security Trustee, to:
(i) incorporate in, install on, attach or make appurtenant to, or
use in, any aircraft, Engine or Spare Part or Appliance (whether or not
subject to any Lien and whether or not operated by the Company) any
Pledged Spare Part, free from the Lien of this Mortgage; and
(ii) dismantle any Pledged Spare Part that has become worn out or
obsolete or unfit for use, and to scrap, sell or dispose of any such
Pledged Spare Part or any salvage resulting from such dismantling, free
from the Lien of this Mortgage.
(2) Designated Locations. The Company shall keep the Pledged Spare Parts
at one or more of the Designated Locations and, except as otherwise permitted
under Sections 3.02(a), 3.02(b)(1) or 3.02(b)(3) of this Mortgage, shall not
suffer or permit any Pledged Spare Part to be stored at any other location. The
Company shall not suffer or permit any Pledged Spare Parts at any Designated
Location to be commingled with any Excluded Parts (it being acknowledged that,
so long as the Company complies with Section 3.02(d)(1) hereof, Excluded Parts
which are stored on a separate shelf from Pledged Spare Parts and in a separate
storage bin or other storage unit from any Pledged Spare Parts shall not be
considered as having been commingled with Pledged Spare Parts even though such
Excluded Parts are present at the same Designated Location as the Pledged Spare
Parts). The Company shall ensure that each Designated Location is adequate for
warehousing and storing the Pledged Spare Parts, and at all times that the
Current Market Value of Rotables included in the Pledged Spare Parts which are
stored at a Secure Location is no less that eighty percent (80%) of the Current
Market Value of all the Rotables included within the Collateral, such Current
Market Value being calculated in accordance with the Senior Mortgage (with the
provisions of Senior Mortgage relating to such calculation being incorporated
herein by this reference solely for the purpose of making such calculation). The
Company shall obtain from each landlord, mortgagee or other Person from time to
time holding title to or a security or leasehold interest in a Designated
Location a waiver in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Security Trustee of
any right or interest in the Pledged Spare Parts stored at such Designated
Location. The Company shall add as a Designated Location (in accordance with
this Section 3.02(b)(2)) any location in the United States where Pledged Spare
Parts may be stored by the Company from time to time. At any time that the
Company, acting pursuant to the Senior Mortgage, adds a location that is to
become a "Designated Location" under the Senior
6
Mortgage, the Company shall concurrently add such location as Designated
Location under this Mortgage. Upon adding a location that is to become a
Designated Location, the Company will furnish to the Security Trustee the
following:
(i) a Supplemental Mortgage duly executed by the Company,
identifying each location that is to become a Designated Location and
specifically subjecting the Pledged Spare Parts at such location to the
Lien of this Mortgage;
(ii) an Opinion of Counsel, dated the date of execution of said
Supplemental Mortgage, stating that said Supplemental Mortgage has been
duly filed for recording in accordance with the provisions of the Federal
Aviation Act, and either: (a) no other filing or recording is required in
any other place within the United States in order to perfect the Lien of
this Mortgage on the Pledged Spare Parts held at the Designated Locations
specified in such Supplemental Mortgage under the laws of the United
States, or (b) if any such other filing or recording shall be required
that said filing or recording has been accomplished in such other manner
and places, which shall be specified in such Opinion of Counsel, as are
necessary to perfect the Lien of this Mortgage with respect to such
Pledged Spare Parts; and
(iii) an Officer's Certificate stating that in the opinion of the
Officer executing the Officer's Certificate, all conditions precedent
provided for in this Mortgage relating to the subjection of such property
to the Lien of this Mortgage have been complied with.
(3) Excluded Locations. With the prior written consent of the Security
Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Company shall be
entitled, from time to time, to establish one or more locations for the storage
of Spare Parts and Appliances which shall not be subject to the lien of this
Mortgage (herein, "Excluded Locations"), provided that the Company's business
purpose in establishing such Excluded Location is to support operations that are
beyond the scope of the Company's existing and currently planned operations as
of the Funding Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
3.02(c)(3), for so long as the Lien of the Senior Mortgage shall remain in
effect, any "Excluded Location" (under and as defined in the Senior Mortgage)
established pursuant to the terms of the Senior Mortgage shall be deemed an
Excluded Location hereunder without further act by the Security Trustee. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Security Trustee shall be entitled
to withhold its consent to the establishment of an Excluded Location if the GECC
considers any of the following circumstances to be applicable:
(i) the expected fair market value of the Spare Parts and Appliances
to be stored at the proposed location would be less than $5,000,000;
(ii) unless the proposed location would be devoted exclusively to
the storage of Spare Parts and Appliances that are not compatible with any
of the aircraft and engines operated by the Company as of the Funding
Date, the proposed location would be in any of the states of Arizona,
Maryland or Nevada;
(iii) all or any material portion of the proposed location would be
stocked by the transfer of Spare Parts and Appliances from any of the
Designated Locations;
7
(iv) GECC has not been offered the opportunity to provide the
Company with financing for the Spare Parts and Appliances to be stored at
the proposed location on terms, in the case of new acquisition financing,
substantially the same as the terms of the Loan Agreement, and in the case
of financing assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisition of
such Spare Parts and Appliances, substantially the same as the terms of
such pre-existing financing and at the same net financing cost to the
Company (taking into account any prepayment premiums and/or breakage costs
thereunder); provided, however, that if any pre-existing financing does
not permit any voluntary prepayment thereof by the Company, then the
failure by the Company to offer the lenders the opportunity to provide
financing to take out such pre-existing financing shall not be deemed
grounds for the Security Trustee to withhold its consent under this
Section 3.02(b)(3);
(v) the Company's acquisition of the Spare Parts and Appliances to
be stored at the proposed location is part of the Company's ordinary fleet
replacement and/or growth and is associated with routes served by the
Company as of the Funding Date; or
(vi) the amount of Spare Parts and Appliances to be stored at the
proposed location will be greater than the amount reasonably required by
the Company to support the operations of the aircraft and engines that are
being added to the Company's fleet contemporaneously with the Company's
acquisition of such Spare Parts and Appliances.
If the Lien of the Senior Mortgage shall have been discharged, the Security
Trustee shall be entitled to condition its consent to the establishment of an
Excluded Location upon the amendment of this Mortgage to include a covenant
pursuant to which the Company would be obligated to comply with such additional
inspection, reporting and valuation requirements (including, but not limited to,
the obligation to afford access to the Excluded Location to the Security Trustee
and the Independent Appraiser for inspection and other purposes) as the Security
Trustee may deem appropriate in order to ensure that the establishment and
maintenance of such Excluded Location does not have a prejudicial effect on
quantity or value of the Rotables and Key Repairables included within the
Pledged Spare Parts or on the interests of the Security Trustee in the
Collateral. In the event that the Senior Trustee conditions its consent to the
establishment of an "Excluded Location" (under and as defined in the Senior
Mortgage) upon the amendment of the Senior Mortgage to include any covenant,
this Mortgage shall be amended to include a corresponding covenant hereunder.
(4) Permitted Sales, Dispositions and Modifications. Unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to the limitations contained
in Section 3.03 of the Senior Mortgage, the Company may, in the ordinary course
of its business, (i) sell, lease, transfer or dispose of any Pledged Spare Parts
which have become surplus to its normal operations free from the Lien of this
Mortgage, and (ii) sell, lease, transfer or dispose of, in a single transaction
or in a series of transactions within any period of thirty (30) days, Pledged
Spare Parts with an aggregate Current Market Value equal to the Permitted
Disposition Amount or less which are not surplus to the Company's normal
operations so long as the Company acquires replacements for such Spare Parts and
causes such replacements to be subject to the Lien of this Mortgage and to be
stored within the appropriately marked shelves or storage areas at the
Designated Locations as
8
Pledged Spare Parts within the thirty (30) day period following any such sale,
lease, transfer or disposition (or, in the case of a series of transactions,
within the thirty (30) day period following the first of such transactions). In
addition, the Company may modify or alter any Pledged Spare Parts as the Company
may deem appropriate in the proper conduct of its business, so long as the
Company remains in compliance at all times with the requirements of Section
3.02(c) below, after giving effect to any such modification or alteration.
(c) Maintenance. The Company:
(1) shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, at all times the Pledged
Spare Parts in accordance with (x) all applicable Laws issued by the FAA and (y)
all applicable Laws issued by any other Governmental Authority having
jurisdiction over the Company or any such Pledged Spare Parts, including making
any modifications, alterations, replacements and additions necessary therefor;
(2) shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, all records, logs and other
materials required by the FAA or under the Federal Aviation Act to be maintained
in respect of the Pledged Spare Parts and shall not modify its record retention
procedures in respect of the Pledged Spare Parts unless such modification is
consistent with the Company's FAA approved maintenance program; provided
however, that such modification shall not materially diminish the value of the
Pledged Spare Parts, taken as a whole;
(3) shall maintain, or cause to be maintained on a timely basis, the
Pledged Spare Parts in good working order (other than during periods of
maintenance, overhaul, inspection and testing) and condition and shall perform
all maintenance thereon necessary for that purpose, excluding (i) Pledged Spare
Parts that have become worn out or unfit for use, beyond economic repair or
become obsolete or scrap, and (ii) Pledged Spare Parts that are not required for
the Company's normal operations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, all Pledged Spare Parts located at Designated Locations other than for
the purpose of being maintained, altered, modified or overhauled shall have a
current and valid serviceable tag and shall be in compliance with such tag, in
each case in compliance with applicable FAA regulations.
(d) Identification of Security Trustee's Interest.
(1) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall install signs, in
size and form reasonably satisfactory to the Security Trustee, at each of the
Designated Locations and on each shelf, bin or other storage unit in which the
Pledged Spare Parts are stored and otherwise as may be directed by the Security
Trustee within each Designated Location, bearing the inscription: "MORTGAGED TO
WELLS FARGO BANK NORTHWEST, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS SECURITY TRUSTEE" (such
sign to be replaced if there is a successor Security Trustee).
(2) The Company shall consult with the Security Trustee prior to replacing
the system utilized in tracking the Pledged Spare Parts. Any replacement system
must be reasonably acceptable to the Security Trustee. . In addition, in the
event that any such replacement system includes the use of any Software that is
licensed by the Company from a third party vendor, rather than owned outright,
then the Company shall, before implementing any such new system and Software,
cause such vendor or licensor to recognize the rights in such Software granted
to
9
the Security Trustee under this Mortgage, including the right to access and use
such Software in connection with the exercise of remedies under Section 4.01.
Section 3.03. [Intentionally Left Blank] .
Section 3.04. [Intentionally Left Blank] .
Section 3.05. Insurance.
(a) Obligation to Insure. The Company shall comply with, or cause to be
complied with, each of the provisions of Appendix B, which provisions are hereby
incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full herein.
(b) Insurance for Own Account. Nothing in Section 3.05 shall limit or
prohibit (a) the Company from maintaining the policies of insurance required
under Appendix B with higher limits than those specified in Appendix B, or (b)
the Security Trustee or any other Secured Party from obtaining insurance for its
own account (and any proceeds payable under such separate insurance shall be
payable as provided in the policy relating thereto); provided, however, that no
insurance may be obtained or maintained that would limit or otherwise adversely
affect the coverage of any insurance required to be obtained or maintained by
the Company pursuant to this Section 3.05 and Appendix B.
(c) Indemnification by Government in Lieu of Insurance. Security Trustee
agrees to accept, in lieu of insurance against any risk with respect to any
aircraft or Engine described in Appendix B, indemnification from, or insurance
provided by, the U.S. Government, or upon the written consent of Security
Trustee, other Government Entity, against such risk in an amount that, when
added to the amount of insurance (including permitted self-insurance), if any,
against such risk that the Company (or any Lessee) may continue to maintain, in
accordance with this Section 3.05, shall be at least equal to the amount of
insurance against such risk otherwise required by this Section 3.05.
(d) Application of Insurance Proceeds. If the Lien of the Senior Mortgage
shall not have been discharged, all insurance proceeds in respect of the Pledged
Spare Parts shall be held and applied as provided in the Senior Mortgage. After
the Senior Mortgage shall have been discharged, all insurance proceeds in
respect of the Pledged Spare Parts, except as expressly provided in Section
3.05(e) below, shall be paid over to, and retained by, the Company.
(e) Application of Payments During Existence of Event of Default. After
the Lien of the Senior Mortgage shall have been discharged, any amount referred
to in this Section 3.05 which is payable to or retainable by the Company shall
not be paid to or retained by the Company, 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 Security Trustee as
security for the Obligations and invested pursuant to Section 6.01. Upon the
earlier of (a) such time as there shall not be continuing any such Special
Default or Event of Default or (b) the termination of this Mortgage in
accordance with Section 7.01, such amount, and any interest realized thereon
pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof, shall be paid over to the Company to the extent
not previously applied in accordance with the preceding sentence.

Person executing any non-disclosure agreement as may be required by the Software
provider, remains at all times a third party beneficiary of any Software Support
Agreements.

recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Mortgage and any amendments
or supplements thereto, as shall be necessary to continue the perfection and
priority of the Lien created by this Mortgage with respect to the Pledged Spare
Parts held at Designated Locations.

and any amendments or supplements hereto, as well as all UCC financing

Company's location) in respect thereof, to be prepared and, subject only to the
execution and delivery thereof by Security Trustee, duly and timely filed and
recorded, or filed for recordation, to the extent permitted under the Federal
Aviation Act (with respect to this Mortgage and any amendments or supplements
hereto) or the UCC or similar law of any other applicable jurisdiction (with
respect to such financing statements and continuations and/or amendments
thereof). In addition, the Company will pay any and all recording, stamp and
other similar taxes payable in the United States, in connection with the
execution, delivery, recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this
Mortgage or any such financing statements or other instruments.
Section 3.07. Merger, Consolidation. The Company shall not
consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all

(i) the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the
Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease
substantially all of the assets of the Company as an entirety shall be a
Certificated Air Carrier;
(ii) the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the
Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease
substantially all of the assets of the Company as an entirety shall execute and
deliver to the Security Trustee a duly authorized, valid, binding and
enforceable agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Security Trustee containing an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual

the other Operative Documents with the same effect as if such successor

its authorized representatives (the "Inspecting Parties") may inspect the
Pledged Spare Parts located at Designated Locations (including without
limitation, the Spare Parts Documents and any computer files maintained by the
Company with respect to the Pledged Spare Parts) and the Company shall cooperate
with the Inspecting Parties in connection with any such inspection (including,
without limitation, providing Inspecting Parties reasonable access to buildings
or facilities at Designated Locations where such Pledged Spare Parts are located
and permitting any such Inspecting Party to make copies of Spare Parts Documents
and computer files (excluding the Software) not reasonably deemed confidential
by the Company) at its own cost and expense.

to a visual inspection, shall be in compliance with the Company's work and
safety rules at the Designated Locations (and any applicable governmental rules

arising out of, any such visit, inspection or survey or failure to make

(ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
exercise its inspection rights hereunder other than on reasonable notice

and Engines.

ARTICLE 4.
REMEDIES OF THE SECURITY TRUSTEE UPON A SUBORDINATED EVENT OF DEFAULT
Section 4.01. Remedies with Respect to Collateral.
(a) Remedies Available. Upon the occurrence of any Subordinated Event of
Default and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, the
Security Trustee may do one or more of the following:
(i) cause the Company, upon the written demand of the Security
Trustee, at the Company's expense, to deliver promptly, and the Company
shall deliver promptly, all or any of the Pledged Spare Parts constituting
the Collateral at the Designated Locations, together in each case with the
Spare Parts Documents for such Pledged Spare Parts as the Security Trustee
may so demand, to the Security Trustee or its order, or the Security
Trustee, at its option, may enter upon the premises where all or any of
such Pledged Spare Parts and/or Spare Parts Documents are located and take
immediate possession (to the exclusion of the Company and all Persons
claiming under or through the Company) of and remove the same by summary
proceedings;
13
(ii) sell all or any part of the Collateral at public or private
sale, whether or not the Security Trustee shall at the time have
possession thereof, as the Security Trustee may determine, or lease or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral as the Security
Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine, all free and clear of any
rights or claims of whatsoever kind of the Company; provided, however,
that the Company shall be entitled at any time prior to any such
disposition to redeem the Collateral by paying in full all of the
Obligations; or
(iii) exercise any or all of the rights and powers and pursue any
and all remedies of a secured party under applicable Law.
Upon every such taking of possession of Collateral under this
Section 4.01, the Security Trustee may, from time to time, make all such
expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements, alterations,
additions and improvements to and of the Collateral, as it may deem proper. In
each such case, the Security Trustee shall have the right to maintain, store,
lease, control or manage the Collateral and to exercise all rights and powers of
the Company relating to the Collateral in connection therewith, as the Security
Trustee shall deem best, including the right to enter into any and all such
agreements with respect to the maintenance, insurance, storage, leasing,
control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as the
Security Trustee may determine; and the Security Trustee shall be entitled to
collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income,
products and profits of the Collateral and every part thereof, without
prejudice, however, to the right of the Security Trustee under any provision of
this Mortgage to collect and receive all cash held by, or required to be
deposited with, the Security Trustee hereunder. Such tolls, rents, revenues,
issues, income, products and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of
storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral, and of
all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements,
and to make all payments which the Security Trustee may be required or may elect
to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance or other proper charges upon
the Collateral or any part thereof (including the employment of engineers and
accountants to examine, inspect and make reports upon the properties and books
and records of the Company), and all other payments which the Security Trustee
may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Mortgage, as
well as compensation for the services of the Security Trustee, and of all
Persons engaged and employed by the Security Trustee. If the income and proceeds
of the Collateral shall not be sufficient to pay in full the Obligations, the
Company shall be liable for any deficiency.
In addition, the Company shall be liable for all reasonable legal
fees and other costs and expenses incurred by reason of the occurrence of any
Event of Default or the exercise of the Security Trustee's remedies with respect
thereto, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the retaking or return of any Pledged Spare Parts in accordance
with the terms hereof or under applicable Law, which amounts shall, until paid,
be secured by the Lien of this Mortgage.
If a Subordinated Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, at the request of the Security Trustee the Company shall promptly
execute and deliver to the Security Trustee such instruments of title and other
documents as the Security Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to enable the
Security Trustee or an agent or representative designated by
14
the Security Trustee, at such time or times and place or places as the Security
Trustee may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral
to which the Security Trustee shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If the
Company shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and
documents after such request by the Security Trustee, the Security Trustee may
obtain a judgment conferring on the Security Trustee the right to immediate
possession of the Collateral and requiring the Company to execute and deliver
such instruments and documents to the Security Trustee, to the entry of which
judgment the Company hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent it may
lawfully do so. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Company shall provide the Security Trustee or any of its agents or
representatives, with full and complete access to the system (including the
Software) utilized by the Company or its designees solely to track the Pledged
Spare Parts.
(b) Notice of Sale. The Security Trustee shall give the Company at
least fifteen (15) days' prior written notice of the date fixed for any public
sale of any Pledged Spare Parts or of the date on or after which any private
sale will be held, which notice the Company hereby agrees is reasonable notice,
and any such public sale shall be conducted in general so as to afford the
Company a reasonable opportunity to bid.
(c) Senior Mortgage. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, unless the Lien of the Senior Mortgage shall have been
discharged, the Security Trustee shall not be entitled to, and shall not proceed
to foreclose the Lien of this Mortgage against any of the Collateral or
otherwise exercise any right or remedy pursuant to this Mortgage attributable to
the occurrence of a Subordinated Event of Default, unless and until the Senior
Trustee shall have exercised or concurrently be exercising one or more
dispossessory remedies under the Senior Mortgage with respect to the Pledged
Spare Parts, and in the exercise of any of the Security Trustee's rights and
remedies under this Mortgage, the Security Trustee may not exercise any such
right or remedy in a manner inconsistent with, or otherwise in a manner which
would impair or impede or otherwise adversely affect, the exercise of the rights
and remedies of the Senior Trustee under the Senior Mortgage; it being expressly
understood and agreed that the Lien of this Mortgage on the Collateral shall at
all times be junior and otherwise subject and subordinate in all respects, to
the Lien of the Senior Mortgage.
Section 4.02. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and
remedy herein specifically given to the Security Trustee or otherwise in this
Mortgage shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right,
power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law,
in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether
specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to
time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Security
Trustee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or
remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the
time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the
Security Trustee in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the
pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be
construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of the Company or to be an
acquiescence therein.
Section 4.03. Discontinuance of Proceedings. If the Security Trustee
shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage
by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then
15
and in every such case the Company and the Security Trustee shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the property,
subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
Security Trustee shall continue, as if no such proceedings had been undertaken
(but otherwise without prejudice).
Section 4.04. Allocation of Payments. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of the Indemnity Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Subordinated Event of Default, all amounts collected
or received by the Security Trustee or any other Secured Party on account of the
Obligations shall be paid over or delivered as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses actually incurred) of the Security Trustee in connection with
enforcing the rights of the Security Trustee under the Operative
Documents;
SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Security Trustee;
THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses actually incurred by joint counsel for the Beneficiaries) of each
of the Beneficiaries in connection with enforcing its rights under the
Operative Documents or otherwise with respect to the Obligations owing to
such Beneficiary;
FOURTH, to all other Obligations (other than as covered by Clause
"FIFTH", "SIXTH" and "SEVENTH" below) which shall have become due and
payable under the Operative Documents or otherwise and not repaid pursuant
to clauses "FIRST" through "THIRD" above; and
FIFTH, to the payment of all accrued interest on the Obligations;
SIXTH, to the payment of the Guaranteed Amount then due and unpaid;
SEVENTH, to be held by the Security Trustee as cash collateral
pursuant to this Mortgage until the Lien of this Mortgage shall have been
terminated;
EIGHTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the
numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next
succeeding category and (ii) if amounts available are insufficient to pay all
amounts due within any category, such available amounts shall be paid pro rata
to the parties entitled thereto based upon the amount due under such category to
each such party or, in the case of Clauses FOURTH, FIFTH and SIXTH, applied
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with written instructions of
GECC.
Section 4.05. Turnover of Payments to Senior Trustee. Until the Lien
of the Senior Mortgage shall have been discharged, the Security Trustee and each
Beneficiary shall hold in trust for the benefit of the "Secured Parties" (as
defined in the Senior Mortgage) and shall
16
promptly pay to the Senior Trustee for the benefit of such "Secured Parties" any
proceeds of the Collateral for distribution in accordance with the Senior
Mortgage.

received) realized as the result of any such investment (net of any fees,
commissions, other expenses or losses, if any, incurred in connection with such
investment) unless a Subordinated Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. The Security Trustee shall not be liable for any loss relating to a
Permitted Investment made pursuant to this Section 6.01. The Company will
promptly pay to the Security Trustee, on demand, the amount of any loss (net of

the later of (i) payment in full of the unpaid principal of, and accrued
interest on, the Loans and all other Senior Obligations then due and payable
(and regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing) and (ii) the Designated Date (or, if on the later of
