such airframe or engines installed thereon;
(v) install an Engine on an airframe, leased to the Obligors or
purchased by the Obligors subject to a conditional sale or other security
agreement, but only if (A) such airframe is free and clear of all Liens, except
(i) the rights of the parties to such lease, or any such secured financing
arrangement, covering such airframe and (ii) Liens of the type permitted by
Section 3.2(iv) and (B) Obligors shall have received from the lessor, mortgagee,
secured party or conditional seller, in respect of such airframe, a written
agreement (which may be a copy of the lease, mortgage, security agreement,
conditional sale or other agreement covering such airframe), whereby such Person
agrees that it will not acquire or claim any right, title or interest in, or
Lien on, such Engine by reason of such Engine being installed on such airframe
at any time while such Engine is subject to this Aircraft Security Agreement;
(vi) install an Engine on an airframe, owned by the Obligors, leased
by the Obligors or purchased by the Obligors subject to a conditional sale or
other security agreement under circumstances where neither clause (iv) nor
clause (v) above is applicable, provided that any such installation (so long as
the same shall be continuing) shall be deemed an Event of Loss with respect to
such Engine and the Obligors shall comply with Section 3.4(h) hereof;
(vii) Reserved.
(viii) transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the United
States when required by Applicable Law (it being understood that nothing in this
clause (viii) shall relieve the Obligors from their obligations under Section
3.4(a) if such transfer becomes an Event of Loss), in which event Obligors shall
promptly notify Lead Secured Party in writing of any such transfer of
possession;
(ix) subject to the provisions of this Section 3.2, enter into a lease
with respect to any Engine or the Airframe and Engines or engines then installed
on the Airframe with any Permitted Lessee, if (A) Obligors shall provide written

normal diplomatic relations with the country in which such proposed Permitted
Lessee is principally based at the time such lease is entered into and (D) in
the event that the Permitted Lessee under such lease is a foreign air carrier or
Person based in a country other than the United States, prior to the
effectiveness of such lease Lead Secured Party shall have received an opinion
(in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lead Secured Party) of counsel
to Obligors (reasonably acceptable to Lead Secured Party) in such jurisdiction
to the effect that (I) the terms of the proposed lease will be legal, valid,
binding and (subject to customary exceptions, including applicable bankruptcy,
reorganization, or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally)
enforceable against the proposed Permitted Lessee in the country in which the
proposed Permitted Lessee is principally based, (II) there exist no possessory
rights in favor of the Permitted Lessee under such lease or other third party
(including any Government Entity) under the laws of such Permitted Lessee's
country of domicile that would, upon bankruptcy or insolvency of or other
default by the Obligors and assuming that at such time such Permitted Lessee is
not insolvent or bankrupt, prevent the repossession of the Aircraft in
accordance with and when permitted by the terms of Section 4.1 upon the exercise
by Lead Secured Party of its remedies under Section 4.1, (III) the laws of such
Permitted Lessee's country of domicile require fair compensation by the
government of such jurisdiction payable in currency freely convertible into
Dollars for the loss of use of or title to such Engine or the Airframe in the

understood that in the event such opinion cannot be given in a form reasonably
satisfactory to Lead Secured Party, such opinion will be waived if insurance
reasonably satisfactory to Lead Secured Party is provided to cover such
requisition), (IV) the laws of such Permitted Lessee's country of domicile would
give recognition to the Lien of this Aircraft Security Agreement upon such
Engine(s) or the Airframe, (V) all filings, if any, required to be made in such
jurisdiction in connection with the execution of such lease in order to protect
the interest of Lead Secured Party in such Engine(s) or the Airframe have been
made, (VI) it is not necessary for Lead Secured Party to register or qualify to
do business in such jurisdiction, if not already so registered or qualified, as
a result, in whole or in part, of the proposed lease, (VII) the agreement of
such Permitted Lessee that its rights under the lease are subject and
subordinate to all the terms of this Aircraft Security Agreement is enforceable
against such Permitted Lessee under Applicable Law of such country, and (VIII)
there is no tort liability against a secured lender or agent thereof not in
possession or operational control of aircraft in such country more onerous than
under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (it being agreed that
in the event such opinion cannot be given in a form reasonably satisfactory to
Lead Secured Party, such opinion will be waived if insurance reasonably
satisfactory to Lead Secured Party is provided to cover the risk of such tort
liability); (IX) that all necessary governmental approvals required for such
Engine(s) or Airframe to be imported and, to the extent reasonably obtainable,
exported from the applicable country of domicile upon repossession of such
leased Engine(s) or Airframe by the Lead Secured Party (and the Obligors as
lessors) have been obtained and any exchange permits necessary to allow all
payments of rent and other payments under any lease assigned to the Lead Secured
Party hereunder are in full force and effect, and (X) to such further effect
with respect to all matters reasonably requested by Lead Secured Party; provided
that (1) the rights of any transferee who receives possession by reason of a
transfer permitted by this Section 3.2 (other than by a transfer of an Engine
which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and subordinate to all the
terms of this Aircraft Security Agreement; (2) the Obligors shall remain
primarily liable hereunder for the performance of all the terms and conditions
of this Aircraft Security Agreement and all of the terms and conditions of this
13
Aircraft Security Agreement and the other applicable Transaction Documents shall

with this Section 3.2 shall (A) result in any registration or re-registration of
the Aircraft or the maintenance, operation or use thereof except in compliance
with Sections 3.3(c), (d) and (f), or (B) permit any action not permitted to the
Obligors hereunder; (4) if any such lease or transfer of possession shall, in
the reasonable opinion of any Secured Party, result in any risk of adverse tax
consequences to such Secured Party, the Obligors shall, prior to entering into
the same, provide an indemnity satisfactory in form and substance to such
Secured Party against any such adverse tax consequences; (5) the Obligors shall
provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lead Secured Party and each Secured
Party that the insurance required by Section 3.3(k) remains in effect and for
the purpose of the Lead Secured Party's and the Lead Secured Party's review of
such insurance requirements, the Obligors shall, at least five (5) days prior to
the date of any lease permitted under this Section 3.2, provide to Lead Secured
Party and each Secured Party, forms of the broker's report and insurance
certificates required by Section 3.3(k)(vi); (6) all necessary documents shall
have been duly filed or recorded in applicable public offices as may be required
to preserve the Lien of this Aircraft Security Agreement upon the Airframe and
Engines; and (7) Obligors shall reimburse Lead Secured Party and each Secured
Party for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and
disbursements of counsel) in connection with any such lease or transfer.
In the case of any lease permitted under this Section 3.2, the Obligors
will include in such lease appropriate provisions which (a) make such lease
expressly subject and subordinate to all of the terms of this Aircraft Security

Agreement.
Obligors agree to assign, as collateral security for the Obligations, each
such lease to the Lead Secured Party, which collateral assignment shall be
effected pursuant to the filing of a financing statement against Obligors and
such filings with the FAA and the International Registry as the Lead Secured
Party may request. With respect to each lease which has a term (including
possible renewal and extension periods) of more than one year, (i) such
collateral assignment shall be effected pursuant to an agreement (including a
consent from the lessee to such assignment) in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Lead Secured Party and which agreement shall be accompanied
by such legal opinions, certificates and financing statements relating to the
perfection of such collateral assignment as may be reasonably requested by the
Lead Secured Party; and (ii) such lease shall provide that all payments due
thereunder shall be paid to Obligors unless and until notice has been provided
by the Lead Secured Party to the lessee of such lease of the occurrence of an
Event of Default, at which time all rental payments shall be made by lessee to
Lead Secured Party.
14
With respect to any lease to which the Cape Town Treaty is applicable as
provided in Article 3 of the Cape Town Treaty (whether in respect of both the
Airframe and an Engine or only the Airframe), (A) Obligors agree to have
registered with the International Registry (i) first, the International Interest
vested in Obligors as lessors under the lease, and (ii) second, a collateral
assignment by Obligors of such International Interest attributable to such lease
and (B) Obligors shall have received a favorable opinion of counsel (which
counsel and opinion are reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Secured Party), and
a supporting priority search certificate issued by the International Registry,
regarding such registrations. The Lead Secured Party agrees that with respect to
any lease collaterally assigned to the Lead Secured Party as provided herein,
upon termination of such lease, the Lead Secured Party shall assign or consent
to the assignment of the International Interest, if any, attributable to such
lease to Obligors.
(3.3) Registration and Operation.
(a) Registration and Recordation. The Aircraft shall be duly
registered in the name of the applicable Obligors with the Aeronautical
Authority and this Aircraft Security Agreement shall be recorded with the
Aeronautical Authority and on the International Registry in accordance with the
Cape Town Treaty at all times that any of the Secured Obligations remain
outstanding; provided that Lead Secured Party shall execute and deliver all such
documents as Obligors, to the extent deemed advisable or necessary in the
opinion of the Lead Secured Party, may reasonably request for the purpose of
effecting, continuing, or (as provided in this Section 3.3(a)) changing such
registration. Unless the security interest or Lien of this Aircraft Security
Agreement has been discharged, at all times Obligors shall cause the Aircraft
Security Agreement to be maintained of record at the International Registry, as
a first-priority perfected mortgage on the Aircraft, the Airframe, and each of
the Engines. Obligors shall not register or record any other interest against
the Aircraft, the Airframe, and each of the Engines (or any amendment,
modification, supplement, subordination, of subrogation thereof). Obligors shall
not register or record any other interest against the Aircraft, the Airframe,
and each of the Engines (or any amendment, modification, supplement,
subordination, of subrogation thereof), including any filing of any Form
8050-135, with the FAA without the prior written consent of Lead Secured Party
which may be withheld in its sole discretion at all times that any of the
Secured Obligations remain outstanding.
(b) Compliance With Laws. The Obligors shall not permit the Airframe
or any Engine to be used or operated while any of the Secured Obligations remain
outstanding in violation of any Applicable Law, this Aircraft Security Agreement
or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration
relating to the Aircraft or such Engines issued by any competent Government
Entity, unless (i) the validity thereof is being contested in good faith and by
appropriate proceedings which do not involve a danger (other than a de minimis
danger) of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Airframe or such Engine or the
security interest or Lien of this Aircraft Security Agreement thereupon, or (ii)
it is not possible for the Obligors to comply with the Laws of a jurisdiction
other than the United States (or other than any jurisdiction in which the
Aircraft is then registered) because of a conflict with the Applicable Laws of
the United States (or such jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then
registered).
15
(c) Operation. The Obligors shall not operate, use or locate the
Airframe or any Engine, or suffer such Airframe or any Engine to be operated,
used or located (i) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required
by the terms of Section 3.3(i) hereof, except in the case of a requisition by
the United States where the Obligors obtain (and provides evidence of) indemnity
from the Government for the benefit of the Additional Insured against
substantially the same risks and for at least the amounts of the insurance
required by Section 3.3(i) hereof covering such area, or (ii) outside the United
States or Canada in any recognized or, in the Obligors' reasonable judgment,
threatened area of hostilities unless covered by war risk insurance, or in
either case unless the Airframe or such Engine is operated or used under
contract with the Government under which contract the Government assumes
liability for substantially the same risks in at least the same amounts as would
be covered by such insurance.
(d) Information for Filings. Obligors shall promptly furnish to Lead
Secured Party such information as may be required to enable Lead Secured Party
or such Secured Party timely to file any reports required to be filed by it with
any Government Entity because of, or in connection with, the interest of Lead
Secured Party and Secured Parties in the Aircraft, Airframe, or Engine or any
other part of the Collateral.
(e) Maintenance. The Obligors, at their own cost and expense, shall
service, repair, maintain, overhaul and test the Aircraft, the Airframe and each
Engine or cause the same to be done in accordance with (i) a Maintenance Program
and (ii) maintenance standards required by, or substantially equivalent to those
required by, the FAA, and shall keep or cause to be kept the Aircraft, the
Airframe and each Engine in as good operating condition as of the date hereof,
ordinary wear and tear excepted, and shall keep or cause to be kept the
Aircraft, the Airframe and each Engine in such operating condition as may be
necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of the Aircraft to be
maintained in good standing at all times under the applicable rules and
regulations of the Aeronautical Authority, except when aircraft of the same
type, model or series as the Airframe (powered by engines of the same type as
those with which the Airframe shall be equipped at the time of grounding)
registered in the same country have been grounded by the Aeronautical Authority.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Obligors from taking the Aircraft
out of service for maintenance or modifications permitted hereunder or storage
in accordance with applicable Aeronautical Authority requirements and sound
practice for such storage. The Obligors shall maintain or cause to be maintained
all records, logs and other documents required by the Aeronautical Authority to
be maintained in respect of the Aircraft in English. Obligors further agree that
the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines will be maintained, used, serviced, repaired,
overhauled or inspected in compliance with Applicable Law with respect to the
maintenance of the Aircraft and compliance with each applicable airworthiness
certificate, license and registration relating to the Aircraft, Airframe or any
Engine issued by the Aeronautical Authority.
(f) Replacement of Parts. Except as otherwise provided in the proviso
to the third sentence of Section 3.3(h) or if the Airframe or an Engine to which
a Part relates has suffered an Event of Loss, the Obligors, at their own cost
and expense, will, so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding,
promptly replace all Parts that 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. In addition, in the ordinary
course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, the Obligors, at
their own cost and expense, may remove any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost,
stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently
rendered unfit for use, provided that the Obligors, at their own cost and
expense, shall, except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the third
sentence of Section 3.3(h), replace such Parts as promptly as practicable with
replacement Parts or temporary replacement parts as provided in Section 3.3(g)
hereof. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all security interests
or Liens except for pooling arrangements to the extent permitted by Section
3.3(g) and Permitted Liens and shall be in as good operating condition as, and
shall have a value and utility at least equal to, the Parts replaced assuming
such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be maintained
by the terms hereof.
16
Except in respect of any Part that the Obligors may remove from the
Airframe or an Engine as provided in the proviso to the third sentence of
Section 3.3(h) and the fourth sentence of Section 3.3(h), all Parts at any time
removed from the Airframe or any Engine shall remain the property of the
Obligors and subject to this Aircraft Security Agreement, no matter where
located, until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by Parts that have been
incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or Engine and that
meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified in the first paragraph of
this Section 3.3(f). Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated
or installed in or attached to an Airframe or Engine as provided in this Section
3.3(f), without further act, (i) title to the replaced Part shall remain in the
Obligors and such Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder; (ii) title to
such replacement Part shall thereupon vest in the Obligors; and (iii) such
replacement Part shall become subject to the security interest and Lien of this
Aircraft Security Agreement and be deemed part of such Airframe or Engine, as
the case may be, for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts
originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or Engine.
(g) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Airframe or from any
Engine as provided in the first paragraph of Section 3.3(f) may be subjected by
the Obligors to a pooling or parts leasing agreement or arrangement of a type
customary in the airline industry entered into in the ordinary course of the
Obligors' business, provided the part replacing such removed Part shall be
incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or Engine in
accordance with Section 3.3(f) as promptly as practicable after the removal of
such removed Part. In addition, any replacement part when incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with
Section 3.3(f) may be owned by another aircraft owner or operator or vendor as
customary in the airline industry, subject to a pooling or parts leasing
arrangement, provided that the Obligors, at its expense as promptly thereafter
as reasonably practicable, either (i) causes title to such temporary replacement
part to vest in the Obligors, subject to the security interest or Lien of this
Aircraft Security Agreement in accordance with Section 3.3(f) and free and clear
of all other security interests and Liens except Permitted Liens, at which time
such temporary replacement part shall become a Part and become subject to this
Aircraft Security Agreement or (ii) replaces such temporary replacement part by
incorporating or installing in or attaching to such Airframe or Engine a further
replacement Part owned by the Obligors free and clear of all security interests
and Liens except Permitted Liens and by causing such further replacement Part to
become subject to the security interest and Lien of this Aircraft Security
Agreement in accordance with Section 3.3(f).
(h) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. The Obligors, at their
own expense, shall make (or cause to be made) alterations and modifications in
and additions to the Airframe and any Engine as may be required to be made from
17
time to time by Applicable Law and to meet applicable standards of any
airworthiness directives, or any other standards of the Aviation Authority and
any mandatory service bulletins of the Manufacturer, issues and Incurred after
January 1, 2008, or in order to maintain the insurance required under Section
3.3(i) regardless of upon whom such requirements are, by their terms, nominally
imposed; provided that the Obligors may, in good faith and by appropriate
procedure, contest (or cause to be contested) the validity or application of any
such standard in any reasonable manner which does not materially adversely
affect the interests of the Secured Party and does not involve any risk (other
than a de minimis risk) of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or the
security interest and Lien of this Aircraft Security Agreement thereupon. In
addition, the Obligors, at their own expense, may from time to time make or
cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to the
Airframe and any Engine as the Obligors may deem desirable in the proper conduct
of its business including, without limitation, removal of Parts which Obligors
deem are obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use in the Aircraft,
Airframe or such Engine so long as the aggregate value of such removed Parts
(based on their value as of the Effective Date) does not exceed $50,000,
provided further that no such alteration, modification or addition (i)
diminishes the value, utility, estimated residual value (with respect to the
Airframe only), condition, remaining useful life or airworthiness of such
Airframe or Engine below the value, utility, estimated residual value,
condition, remaining useful life or airworthiness thereof immediately prior to
such alteration, modification or addition, assuming such Airframe or Engine was
then in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Aircraft
Security Agreement, or (ii) causes the Aircraft to be limited use property,
except that the value (but not the utility, estimated residual value, condition,
remaining useful life or airworthiness) of the Aircraft may be reduced by the
value of Parts which the Obligors have removed as permitted above. All Parts
incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or any Engine
as the result of any alteration, modification or addition effected by the
Obligors shall become the property of the Obligors and, without further act,
subject to the security interest and Lien of this Aircraft Security Agreement
and shall be free and clear of any other security interests or Liens except
Permitted Liens, provided that the Obligors may, at any time while any of the
Secured Obligations remains outstanding, remove any such Part from the Airframe
or an Engine if (i) such Part is in addition to, and not in replacement of or in
substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached
to such Airframe or Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder or any Part
in replacement of, or in substitution for, any such original Part, (ii) such
Part is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to
such Airframe or Engine pursuant to the terms of Section 3.3(e) or the first
sentence of this Section 3.3(h) or pursuant to the terms of any insurance
policies required to be carried hereunder or under any Applicable Law, and (iii)
such Part can be removed from such Airframe or Engine without diminishing or
impairing the value, condition, utility, estimated residual value, remaining
useful life or airworthiness which such Airframe or Engine would have had at the
time of removal had such alteration, modification or addition not been effected
by the Obligors assuming the Aircraft was otherwise maintained in the condition
required by this Aircraft Security Agreement. Upon the removal by the Obligors
of any such Part as above provided, title thereto shall, without further act,
remain in the Obligors, free and clear of all rights of the Secured Party and
such Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder.
(i) Insurance.
18
(i) (A) Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance.
To the extent the Obligors operate and do not "just store" the Aircraft the
Obligors shall, without expense to the Lead Secured Party or any Secured Party,
maintain or cause to be maintained in effect at all times with independent
insurers of internationally recognized reputation and responsibility, and
reasonably acceptable to the Lead Secured Party and the Secured Parties, public
liability insurance (including, without limitation, aircraft third party,
passenger legal liability, property damage, general third party legal liability
and product liability coverage but excluding manufacturer's product liability
coverage) with respect to the Aircraft in an amount equal to the Minimum
Liability Amount. To the extent the Obligors operate and do not "just store" the
Aircraft the Obligors shall in all events maintain in effect, at all times war
risk and allied perils liability insurance in accordance with the London form
AVN52C (as in effect on September 1, 2001) or its equivalent form reasonably
acceptable to Lead Secured Party (or an agreement of the Government to insure
against or indemnify for substantially the same risks), from time to time, with
respect to the Aircraft , (I) in an amount not less than $300,000 per
occurrence, and (II) maintained with independent insurers of internationally
recognized reputation and responsibility reasonably acceptable to the Lead
Secured Party and the Secured Parties.
During any period that the Aircraft is grounded and not in operation, the
Obligors may, so long as the Obligors take reasonable measures to protect the
Aircraft, modify the insurance required by this Section 3.3(i)(i) to modify the
amounts of public liability and property damage insurance, the scope of the
risks covered and the type of insurance, in all circumstances to conform to such
insurance as is customary in the United States in respect of similar aircraft
which are grounded, not in operation, and stored or hangared, provided that in
all instances, the amounts of coverage and scope of risk covered and the type of
insurance shall be at a minimum no less favorable than the insurance as from
time to time applicable to aircraft owned or leased by Obligors on the ground,
not in operation, and stored or hangared.
(B) Insurance Against Loss or Damage to the Aircraft and Engines.
The Obligors shall, without expense to the Lead Secured Party or any
Secured Party, maintain or cause to be maintained in effect at all times with
insurers of internationally recognized reputation and responsibility, and
reasonably acceptable to the Lead Secured Party and the Secured Parties all
risk, agreed value, ground and to the extent the Obligors operate and do not
"just store" the Aircraft flight hull insurance covering the Aircraft for an
amount at all times (even when the Aircraft is grounded or in storage) not less
than $2,000,000 (the "Stipulated Loss Value"), provided that, the Obligors shall
not be required to maintain all-risk flight aircraft hull insurance with respect
to any period in which the Aircraft is grounded and properly stored or hangared
(but each such Person shall be required to maintain agreed value all-risk ground
hull insurance in an amount not less than the Stipulated Loss Value and on the
other terms required hereby). Such insurance shall not provide insurers with a
right to replace the Airframe or any Engine with another airframe or Engine.
Such hull insurance or other personal property insurance of the Obligors shall
cover Engines or engines and Parts while not installed on the Airframe. Such
insurance shall be of the type usually carried by the Obligors with respect to
similar aircraft and engines, and covering risks of the kind customarily insured
against by the Obligors. An agreement by the Government, in a form and substance
19
reasonably acceptable to the Lead Secured Party, for the benefit of the
Additional Insureds to insure against or indemnify for substantially the same
risks to at least the same amount will satisfy any of the requirements of this
Section 3.3(i)(ii), provided that on or prior to the date of such agreement, the
Obligors shall provide an Officer's Certificate of the Obligors certifying that
any such insurance or indemnity provides protection no less favorable than
insurance coverage that would comply with this Section 3.3(i)(ii). To the extent
the Obligors operate and do not "just store" the Aircraft Obligors shall in any
event maintain at all times, with independent insurers of internationally
recognized reputation and responsibility hull war risks and allied perils
insurance in accordance with the London form LSW555B or its equivalent form
reasonably acceptable to the Lead Secured Party (or an agreement of the
Government to insure against or indemnify for substantially the same risks) from
time to time covering the Aircraft in an amount not less than the Stipulated
Loss Value.
(ii) Additional Insureds; Loss Payment. Obligors shall cause all
policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Section 3.3(i) to name the
Additional Insureds as their respective interests may appear as Additional
Insureds. Such policies shall provide with respect to such Additional Insureds
that (i) none of their respective interests in such policies shall be
invalidated by any act or omission or breach of warranty or condition contained
in such policies by Obligors or, in the case of any particular Additional
Insured, any other Additional Insured; (ii) no cancellation or lapse of coverage
for nonpayment of premium or otherwise, and no substantial change of coverage
which adversely affects the interests of any such Additional Insured, shall be
effective as to such Additional Insured until 30 days (or such lesser period as
may be applicable in the case of any war risk coverage) after receipt by such
Additional Insured of written notice from the insurers of such cancellation,
lapse, or change; (iii) they shall have no liability for premiums, commissions,
calls, assessments, or advances with respect to such policies; (iv) such
policies will be primary without any right of contribution from any other
insurance carried by such Additional Insureds; (v) the insurers waive any rights
of set-off, counterclaim, deduction, or subrogation against such Additional
Insureds and (vi) shall apply world wide and have only such territorial
restrictions or limitations as may be reasonably acceptable to Lead Secured
Party. Each liability policy shall provide that all the provisions thereof,
except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there
were a separate policy covering each insured and provide that the exercise by
the insurer of rights of subrogation derived from rights retained by Obligors
will not delay payment of any claim that would otherwise be payable but for such
rights of subrogation. Each hull policy shall provide that for losses in respect
of the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, payment in connection with claims for
such losses shall be paid directly to the Lead Secured Party.
(iii) Application of Hull Insurance Proceeds. Subject to Section
3.4(e), as between Lead Secured Party and Obligors, any payments received under
policies of hull or other property insurance required to be maintained by
Obligors pursuant to Section 3.3(i)(i), shall be applied to the repayment of the
Debentures.
(iv) Reports. Obligors will furnish to Lead Secured Party on or
prior to the Effective Date, and when received thereafter, all reports, provided
that all information contained in such report shall be held confidential by Lead
Secured Party, and shall not be furnished or disclosed by them to anyone except
their legal counsel, insurance brokers or advisors, Secured Parties, bona fide
prospective transferees and their respective agents (provided that they shall
20
agree for the benefit of Obligors to hold all such information similarly
confidential) or as may be required by Applicable Law. Obligors will instruct
(or cause to be instructed) the firm of aircraft insurance brokers covering the
Aircraft to give prompt written notice to Lead Secured Party (X) if such firm
ceases to be the insurance broker to Obligors, (Y) of any default in the payment
of any premium, and (Z) of any other act or omission on the part of Obligors of
which it has knowledge and which would in such firm's opinion invalidate or
render unenforceable, in whole or in any material part, any insurance on the
Aircraft. Obligors will also instruct such firm to advise Lead Secured Party in
writing at least 30 days prior to the termination or cancellation of, or
material adverse change in, such insurance carried and maintained on the
Aircraft pursuant to this Section 3.3(i) (or such lesser period as may be
applicable in the case of war risk coverage).
(v) Right to Pay Premiums. The Additional Insureds shall have the
rights but not the obligations of an additional named insured. None of Lead
Secured Party and the other Additional Insureds shall have any obligation to pay
any premium, commission, assessment, or call due on any such insurance
(including reinsurance). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of

expenditures for maintenance, insurance, or repairs to and of the Collateral, as
it may deem proper. In each such case, Lead Secured Party shall have the right
to maintain, use, operate, store, lease, control, or manage the Collateral and
to exercise all rights and powers of Obligors relating to the Collateral in
connection therewith, as Lead Secured Party shall deem appropriate, including
the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the
maintenance, insurance, use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management,
or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as Lead Secured Party may
determine; and Lead Secured Party shall be entitled to collect and receive
directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products, and profits of
the Collateral and every part thereof. Such tolls, rents, revenues, issues,
income, products, and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of use,
operation, storage, leasing, control, management, or disposition of the
Collateral, and of all maintenance and repairs, and to make all payments which
Lead Secured Party may be required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes,
insurance, or other proper charges assessed against or otherwise imposed 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 Obligors, solely as and to the extent related to the Collateral),
and all other payments which Lead Secured Party may be required or authorized to
make under any provision of this Aircraft Security Agreement, as well as just
and reasonable compensation for the services, of all Persons engaged or employed
by Lead Secured Party.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the
request of Lead Secured Party, Obligors shall promptly execute and deliver to
Lead Secured Party such instruments of title and other documents as Lead Secured
Party may deem necessary or advisable to enable Lead Secured Party or an agent
or representative designated by Lead Secured Party, at such time or times and
place or places as Lead Secured Party may specify, to obtain possession of all
or any part of the Collateral to which Lead Secured Party shall at the time be
entitled hereunder. If Obligors shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver
such instruments and documents after such request by Lead Secured Party, Lead
Secured Party may obtain a judgment conferring on Lead Secured Party the right
to immediate possession and requiring Obligors to execute and deliver such
instruments and documents to Lead Secured Party, to the entry of which judgment
Obligors hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent it may lawfully do
so.
31
Nothing in the foregoing shall affect the right of Lead Secured Party to
receive all amounts owing to such Lead Secured Party as and when the same may be
due.
(b) Legal Proceedings. Lead Secured Party may proceed to protect and
enforce this Aircraft Security Agreement by suit or suits or proceedings in
equity, at law, or in bankruptcy, and whether for the specific performance of
any covenant or agreement herein contained or in execution or aid of any power
herein granted; or for foreclosure hereunder, or for the appointment of a
receiver or receivers for the Collateral or any part thereof, or for the
recovery of judgment for the indebtedness secured by the security interest and
Lien created under this Aircraft Security Agreement or for the enforcement of
any other proper, legal, or equitable remedy available under Applicable Law.
(c) Distribution of Proceeds. Any proceeds received by Lead Secured
Party after the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be distributed by Lead
Secured Party to the Secured Parties in accordance with the priority of payments
set forth in the Debentures. Any proceeds of such sale that are in excess of the
unpaid Principal, Interest and other amounts due and owing under the Debenture
shall be promptly remitted to the Obligors.
(4.2) Remedies Cumulative. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable
Law, each and every right, power, and remedy herein specifically given to Lead
Secured Party or otherwise in this Aircraft Security Agreement 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, by
statute, or by the Transaction Documents, 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
Lead Secured Party, 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 same time or thereafter any other right, power, or remedy. No delay or
omission by Lead Secured Party 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 on the part of Obligors or to be an acquiescence therein.
(4.3) Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case Lead Secured Party shall have
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power, or remedy under this
Aircraft Security Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such
proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall
have been determined adversely to Lead Secured Party, then and in every such
case Obligors and Lead Secured Party shall, subject to any determination in such
proceedings, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with
respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies, and powers of Lead Secured
Party shall continue, as if no such proceedings had been undertaken (but
otherwise without prejudice).
(4.4) Limitation of Liability. The Lead Secured Party and the Secured
Parties shall at all times be under a duty to mitigate any and all damages and
except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, neither the Lead Secured Party
nor the Secured Parties shall be entitled to any consequential, incidental or
punitive damages.
32
MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
(5.1) Termination and Release. Upon payment and performance in full of the
Secured Obligations, Lead Secured Party shall, upon the written request of
Obligors, execute and deliver to, or as directed in writing by, and at the
expense of, Obligors an appropriate instrument or instruments (in due form for
recording and in the form provided by Obligors and approved by Lead Secured
Party) reasonably required to release, without recourse, representation, or
warranty, the Aircraft and the balance of the Collateral from the security
interest and Lien of this Aircraft Security Agreement and Lead Secured Party
hereby covenants and undertakes (at Obligors' sole cost and expense) to provide
its written consent to the revocation of any deregistration power of attorney
filed with any Aviation Authority and, to the extent practicable and possible
under Applicable Law, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to endeavor to
return such deregistration power of attorney to Obligors and, in such event,
this Aircraft Security Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, and to the
extent not provided for elsewhere herein, that this Aircraft Security Agreement
shall earlier terminate upon any sale or other final disposition by Lead Secured
Party of all property constituting the Collateral and the final distribution by
Lead Secured Party of all monies or other property or proceeds constituting the
Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Debentures. Except as otherwise
provided above, this Aircraft Security Agreement and the security interests and
Liens in respect of the Collateral created hereby shall continue in full force
and effect in accordance with the terms hereof.
(5.2) No Legal Title to Collateral in Lead Secured Party; Conflicting
Security Documents. Lead Secured Party shall have no legal title to any part of
the Collateral. No transfer, by operation of Law or otherwise, of any right,
title, and interest of Lead Secured Party in and to the Collateral or this
Aircraft Security Agreement shall operate to terminate this Aircraft Security
Agreement or the security interests granted hereunder or entitle any successor
or transferee of Lead Secured Party to an accounting or to the transfer to it of
legal title to any part of the Collateral.
(5.3) Sale of the Aircraft by Lead Secured Party is Binding. Any sale or
other conveyance of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, or any interest
therein by Lead Secured Party made pursuant to the terms of this Aircraft
Security Agreement shall bind Obligors, and shall be effective to transfer or
convey all right, title, and interest of Lead Secured Party and Obligors, in and
to such Aircraft, Airframe, Engine, or interest therein. No purchaser or other
grantee shall be required to inquire as to the authorization, necessity,
expediency, or regularity of such sale or conveyance or as to the application of
any sale or other proceeds with respect thereto by Lead Secured Party.
(5.4) Benefit of Aircraft Security Agreement. Nothing in this Aircraft
Security Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give to
any Person other than Obligors, Lead Secured Party and Secured Parties any legal
or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or in respect of this Aircraft
Security Agreement.
(5.5) Performance and Rights. Any obligation of the Obligors shall require
only that Obligors perform or cause to be performed such obligation, even if
stated as a direct obligation, and the performance of any such obligation by any
permitted assignee, lessee, or transferee under an assignment, lease, or
transfer agreement then in effect and in accordance with the provisions of the
Transaction Documents shall constitute performance by Obligors and to the extent
of such performance, discharge such obligation by Obligors. Except as otherwise
33
expressly provided herein, any right granted to Obligors in this Aircraft
Security Agreement shall grant Obligors the right to permit such right to be
exercised by any such permitted assignee, lessee, or transferee. The inclusion
of specific references to obligations or rights of any such permitted assignee,
lessee, or transferee in certain provisions of this Aircraft Security Agreement
shall not in any way prevent or diminish the application of the provisions of
the two sentences immediately preceding with respect to obligations or rights in
respect of which specific reference to any such permitted assignee, lessee, or
transferee has not been made in this Aircraft Security Agreement.
(5.6) Reserved.
(5.7) Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Aircraft
Security Agreement, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given
in accordance with Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The
Secured Parties shall provide the Obligor with prompt written notice of all
actions taken pursuant to this Aircraft Security Agreement, including in
reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor.
(5.8) Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement is held to
be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason,
unless such provision is narrowed by judicial construction, this Agreement
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or
unenforceable provision had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid,
prohibited or unenforceable. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of
this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective to
the extent of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining portion of such provision or the other provisions of
this Agreement and without affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision or the other provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
(5.9) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In
the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such
signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on
whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect
as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.
(5.10) Assignment, Successors and Assigns. None of Lead Secured Party,
Secured Parties, or Obligors may assign or transfer its rights and obligations
under this Aircraft Security Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
except as permitted by the Transaction Documents or otherwise with the prior
written consent of Lead Secured Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld). The provisions hereof shall be binding upon each party hereto, and
each or its successors and permitted assigns. No sales of participations, other
than sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement
governing or instrument evidencing the Secured Obligations or any portion
thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the security interest and
Lien created herein and granted to Lead Secured Party on behalf of Obligors
hereunder.
34
(5.11) Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein
for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context,
everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Aircraft
Security Agreement.
(5.12) Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be
construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the
construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement and all
disputes arising hereunder shall be governed by, the laws of the State of New
York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or
rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would
cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of
New York. The parties hereto (a) agree that any legal action or proceeding with
respect to this Agreement or any other agreement, document, or other instrument
executed in connection herewith or therewith, shall be brought in any state or
federal court located within the City of New York in the State of New York, (b)
irrevocably waive any objections which either may now or hereafter have to the
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, or any other agreement, document, or other instrument executed in
connection herewith or therewith, brought in the aforementioned courts, and (c)
further irrevocably waive any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding
brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
(5.13) Waiver of Jury Trial. OBLIGORS AND SECURED PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVE
THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE ANY
PROVISION OF THIS AIRCRAFT SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT.
(5.14) Amendments. This Aircraft Security Agreement may be amended,
supplemented, or otherwise modified only by the written consent of the Required
Holders.
(5.15) Limitation on Lead Secured Party's Duty in Respect of Collateral.
Lead Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in
its possession or under its control. Lead Secured Party shall not have any other
duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control, or any income thereon or
as to the preservation of rights against prior or any other parties or any other
rights pertaining thereto.
(5.16) Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or
payment of the Obligations by Obligors or the transfer to Lead Secured Party or
any Secured Party of any property should for any reason subsequently be declared
to be void or voidable under any state or federal Law relating to creditors'
rights, including provisions of any bankruptcy Law relating to fraudulent
conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or
transfers of property (each, a "Voidable Transfer"), and if Lead Secured Party
or any Secured Party is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any
such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its
counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that Lead
Secured Party or such Secured Party is required or elects to repay or restore,
and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of Lead Secured
Party or such Secured Party related thereto, the liability of Obligors
automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as
though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.
35
(5.17) Joinder. In the event a party becomes an Obligor (the "New Obligor")
pursuant to this joinder provisions, upon such execution the New Obligor shall
be bound by all the terms and conditions hereof to the same extent as though the
New Obligor had originally executed this Aircraft Security Agreement. The
addition of the New Obligor shall not in any manner affect the obligations of
the other Obligors hereunder. Each Obligor hereto acknowledges that any
schedules hereto may be amended or modified in connection with the addition of
any New Obligor to reflect information relating to such New Obligor.
(5.18) Subordination. The relative rights of the Parties hereto are
governed by the Letter Agreement.
