Upon delivery of such Pledge Supplement to the Collateral Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by the Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto as a Grantor. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) not to cause any Subsidiary of the Parent or any Grantor to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.
Section 7.COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED PROXY ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
a.Power of Attorney
11
Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest and terminable only upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification or reimbursement obligations not yet accrued and payable) as such Grantor’s proxy and attorney-in-fact) with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Appropriate Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, all of which shall be at the Grantors’ expense and constitute Secured Obligations, including, the following:
28.to prepare and file any UCC financing statements and any other Required Filing against such Grantor as debtor;
29.to prepare, sign and file any documents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any Governmental Authority in any jurisdiction that the Collateral Agent deems appropriate in connection with the perfection, protection, priority or enforcement of the security interest on the Collateral, and to remove any ineffective filings;
30.upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default:
(xvi)to take any actions set forth in any Applicable Annex;
(xvii)to do, at the Collateral Agent’s option, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Appropriate Party deems necessary or advisable to protect, preserve, perfect, establish the first priority of or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do, including any access to pay or discharge Taxes or Liens levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), any such payments made by the Collateral Agent to become obligations of such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately without demand;
(xviii)to exercise control in respect of any Deposit Account or Securities Account that is part of the Collateral, and issue instructions and entitlement orders to any bank or securities intermediary in respect thereof;
(xix)to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Loan Agreement;
(xx)to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or with respect to any of the Collateral;
(xxi)to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper;
12
(xxii)to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Required Lenders may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
(xxiii)to use information relating to the Collateral for purposes of Disposing or collecting the Collateral; provided that with respect to any information granted to a Grantor by a third party, the Collateral Agent shall comply with any of such Grantor’s existing contractual obligations and restrictions that, in each case, such Grantor places the Collateral Agent on written notice of (in reasonable detail); and
(xxiv)to Dispose, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, including to file any documents necessary or advisable to implement, effectuate or reflect the Disposition.
None of the rights granted in this Section 7.1 shall be construed as duties, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for omitting to take such actions.
b.No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties.
31.The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The failure to act in the absence of any duty to act shall not be deemed an act of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
32.The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by the Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including any release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Loan Agreement.
33.Notwithstanding any rights granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder to file or make filings to perfect the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent herein, the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral; for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral (all of which shall be each Grantor’s responsibility); for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral; for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein; for the validity of the title of any grantor to the Collateral; for insuring the Collateral; or for the payment of taxes, charges or assessments on the Collateral.
c.Standard of Care; Collateral Agent May Perform.
13
34.Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or any income therefrom or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.
35.The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property.
36.The Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any sub-agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith, except to the extent that such liability arises from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
37.Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise Dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise.
38.If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself (but shall have no obligation to) perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor in a manner consistent with Section 11.03 of the Loan Agreement.
39.The Collateral Agent has been appointed by the Lenders under the Loan Agreement and has the benefit of the rights and protections set forth therein, including without limitation, that, notwithstanding any discretion given to it in any Loan Document, the Collateral Agent need not exercise discretion, but shall act as directed by the Required Lenders.
Section 8.REMEDIES.
a.Generally.
40.If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise (at the direction of the Required Lenders) with respect to the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies that the Collateral Agent may have or that are afforded to a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable Law to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously, subject to applicable Laws, including applicable Privacy Laws:
(xxv)require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall, at its expense and promptly upon request of the Appropriate Party or the Collateral Agent forthwith, (A) provide to the Appropriate Party or the Collateral Agent additional information concerning the Collateral and (B) assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Appropriate Party or the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent;
14
(xxvi)enter onto the property where any Collateral is located, if applicable and take possession thereof with or without judicial process (to the extent possession is not otherwise granted to the Collateral Agent by the applicable Grantors), with or without prior notice or demand for performance and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where any Collateral may be located for the purposes of taking possession of or removing any Collateral; provided that the Collateral Agent shall take commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of any Trade Secrets and other confidential information contained thereon;
(xxvii)prior to the Disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for Disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate;
(xxviii)give notice of exclusive control or any other instruction under any control agreement, collateral access agreement or other similar agreement and take any action provided therein with respect to the applicable Collateral;
(xxix)seek the appointment of a receiver, keeper or any agent to take possession of the Collateral and enforce any of the Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment;
(xxx)subject to compliance with the terms of Section 8.1(f), without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis), sublicense or otherwise Dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or on any securities exchange, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate (provided that such direct licenses or sublicenses survive even when the Event of Default no longer exists);
(xxxi)require any applicable Grantor, and each applicable Grantor hereby agrees that it shall, in connection with any foreclosure, collection, sale or other enforcement of the Liens granted hereunder: (1) to cooperate with the Collateral Agent to obtain all regulatory licenses, consents and other governmental approvals necessary or advisable to conduct all aviation operations with respect to the Collateral, as applicable, (2) to continue to operate and manage the Collateral and maintain all applicable licenses until the Collateral Agent or its designee does so and (3) to cooperate with the transition of the operations to a new operator; and
(xxxii)take any other actions specified in any Applicable Annex.
15
41.The Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC, and the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to Dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any Disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, the Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of its covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law with respect to such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder.
42.The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
43.To the maximum extent permitted by the applicable Law, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives (which waiver may not be withdrawn without the written consent of the Collateral Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders):
(xxxiii)all claims, damages, and demands against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or Disposition of the Collateral (after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default), except such as arise out of the gross
16
negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; and
(xxxiv)the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral (after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default), made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise.
44.The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
45.Each Grantor hereby grants each Secured Party a non-exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide, transferable license (or sublicense) to use, license, sublicense and otherwise exercise such Grantor’s rights in or to any Intellectual Property and any data (in each case, (i) whether or not included in the Collateral, (ii) subject to applicable Laws, including applicable Privacy Laws and (iii) to the extent not in conflict with such Grantor’s contractual obligations (not otherwise overridden by the UCC or applicable Law) that exist as of the Closing Date with third parties), without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor, solely to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under Section 8 of this Agreement and under the Annex Remedies Section of any Applicable Annex after the occurrence, and solely during the continuance, of an Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, the license granted pursuant to this Section 8.1(f) may be exercised by the Collateral Agent solely during the continuance of an Event of Default. This license is in addition to the Secured Parties’ other rights with respect to the Collateral and is subject to the following:
(xxxv)to the extent that this license is a sublicense of such Grantor’s rights as a licensee under any license, this license is subject to any limitations in the primary license;
(xxxvi)without limiting the foregoing, this license does not include Intellectual Property if the primary license for such Intellectual Property by its terms or as a matter of law prohibits sublicenses, requires the licensor’s consent or entails additional consideration;
(xxxvii)for licensed Trademarks, this license is subject to such Grantor’s standards of quality control and inspection, as necessary to avoid the risk of invalidation of the Trademarks;
(xxxviii)the Collateral Agent shall take commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of any Trade Secrets and other confidential information licensed pursuant to this Section 8.1(f); and
(xxxix)the termination or expiration of the license granted pursuant to this Section 8.1(f) shall not terminate the rights of the sublicensees of any sublicenses granted by the Collateral Agent or its assignee in connection with and in accordance with this Section 8.1(f).
17
46.Solely to the extent required to exploit or exercise the license rights granted in Section 8.1(f) and solely to the extent not already in the possession of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall provide to the Collateral Agent any Intellectual Property and data, including any embodiments thereof, licensed pursuant to Section 8.1(f) that are in the possession or control of such Grantor, and shall not interfere with the rights provided in Section 8.1(f) to such Intellectual Property (including such embodiments) including any right to obtain such Intellectual Property (or such embodiments) from another entity, in each case subject to applicable Laws, including applicable Privacy Laws.
b.Application of Proceeds
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all proceeds received by the Collateral Agent with respect to any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Collateral Agent against the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 7.02 of the Loan Agreement.
c.Sales on Credit
If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Collateral Agent may retain such Collateral until the sale price is paid by the purchaser thereof, and the Grantors will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of such purchaser. In the event such purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall incur any liability, and such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice, and the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.
Section 9.CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS; Reinstatement.
a.Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Loans
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in all of the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification or reimbursement obligations not yet accrued and payable) and the Lender no longer having a commitment to make any Loan to the Borrower, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits with respect thereto granted to the Lender herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification or reimbursement obligations not yet accrued and payable) and the Lender no longer has a commitment to make any loan to the Borrower, the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors. Upon any Disposition of property expressly permitted by the Loan Agreement, the security interest granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person. Upon any such termination or Disposition or any release of Collateral pursuant to the provisions of any Applicable Annex or otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, at the Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request (including financing statement amendments to evidence such release) and return to the applicable Grantors any corresponding possessory Collateral held by the Collateral
18
Agent. Releases of the Collateral may also be made in accordance with the express terms of any Applicable Annexes.
b.Reinstatement
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Parent, any Grantor or any Affiliates thereof for liquidation or reorganization, should the Borrower or any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Borrower’s or such Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to Applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
Section 10.MISCELLANEOUS.
a.Notices.
All notices and other communications provided hereunder shall be given in a manner consistent with Section 11.01 of the Loan Agreement (i) if to any Grantor, as it applies to a Credit Party and (ii) if to the Collateral Agent, as it applies to the Collateral Agent.
b.Waiver; Amendment.
47.No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right remedy, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Collateral Agent hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers or privileges that any such Person would otherwise have.
48.Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.
c.Relation to Other Security Documents.
The provisions of this Agreement supplement the provisions of any Security Document or any other mortgage granted by any Grantor, which secure the payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations. Nothing contained in any such Security Document or mortgage shall derogate from any of the rights or remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder. In all other conflicts between this Agreement and any other Security Document, this Agreement shall govern.
19
d.Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses.
49.The Grantors jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its fees and expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 11.03 of the Loan Agreement; provided that, each reference therein to the “Borrower” shall be deemed to include a reference to the Grantors.
50.Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents.
e.Survival of Agreement.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any Grantor herein and in any Loan Document or other documents delivered in connection herewith or therewith or pursuant hereto or thereto shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and the making of the Loan hereunder, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Secured Parties may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of the Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Secured Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.
f.Counterparts; Effectiveness, Successors and Assigns.
51.This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Collateral Agent and when the Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
52.The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic means, or confirmation of the execution of this Agreement on behalf of a party by an email from an authorized signatory of such party shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
g.Severability.
20
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
h.Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Etc.
53.This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.
54.Each of the parties hereto agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia for any civil action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
55.To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each parties hereto hereby unconditionally waives trial by jury in any civil legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
56.The Collateral Agent hereby notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that pursuant to the requirements of The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Lenders, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the Lenders and other information that will allow the Collateral Agent to identify the Borrower and the Lenders, in accordance with The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.

Except as otherwise provided herein, so long as the security interest created herein has not been released in accordance with the Loan Agreement, each applicable Grantor, at its own cost and expense, will, at its own cost and expense, promptly replace (or cause to be replaced) all Parts which may from time to time be incorporated or installed in or attached to such Propeller and which 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, each Grantor may, at its own cost and expense, remove in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use; provided, however, that such Grantor, except as otherwise provided herein, at its own cost and expense, will, promptly replace such Parts. All replacement parts shall be free and clear of all Liens, except Permitted Liens and shall be in as good an operating condition and have a value and utility not less than the value and utility of the Parts replaced (assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition required hereunder).
(b)Parts Subject to Lien. Except as otherwise provided herein, any Part at any time removed from a Propeller shall remain subject to the security interest created in this Mortgage, no matter where located, until such time as such Part shall be replaced by a part that has been incorporated or installed in or attached to such Propeller and that meets the requirements for replacement parts specified above.

(c)Alterations, Modifications and Additions. It shall make alterations and modifications in and additions to each Propeller as may be required to be made from time to time to meet the applicable standards of the FAA, to the extent made mandatory in respect of such Propeller (a “Mandatory Alteration”); provided, however, that each Grantor may, in
Annex 3A - 4
good faith and by appropriate procedure, contest the validity or application of any law, rule, regulation or order in any reasonable manner which does not materially adversely affect the Appropriate Party’s interest in such Propeller and does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of such Propeller or the interest of the Appropriate Party therein, or any material risk of material civil penalty or any material risk of criminal liability being imposed on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party. In addition, each Grantor, at its own expense, may from time to time make such alterations and modifications in and additions to any Propeller (each an “Optional Alteration”) as such Grantor may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business including the removal of Parts which such Grantor deems are obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use in such Propeller (“Obsolete Parts”); provided, however, that no such Optional Alteration to a Propeller shall (i) materially diminish the fair market value, utility or remaining useful life of such Propeller below its fair market value, utility or remaining useful life immediately prior to such Optional Modification (assuming such Propeller was in the condition required by this Agreement immediately prior to such Optional Modification) or (ii) cause such Propeller to cease to have the applicable standard certificate of airworthiness. All Parts incorporated or installed in or attached to any Propeller as the result of any alteration, modification or addition effected by each applicable Grantor shall be free and clear of any Liens except Permitted Liens and become subject to the Lien of this Agreement; provided that such Grantor may, at any time so long as any Propeller is subject to the Lien of this Agreement, remove any Part (such Part being referred to herein as a “Removable Part”) from such Propeller 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 Propeller at the time of original delivery thereof by the Manufacturer 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 Propeller pursuant to the terms of this Annex and (iii) such Part can be removed from such Propeller without materially diminishing the fair market value, utility or remaining useful life which such Propeller would have had at the time of removal had such removal not been effected by such Grantor, assuming such Propeller was otherwise maintained in the condition required by this Agreement and such Removable Part had not been incorporated or installed in or attached to such Propeller. Upon the removal by any applicable Grantor of any such Removable Part or Obsolete Part as above provided, (A) title thereto shall, without further act, be free and clear of all rights of the Collateral Agent and (B) such Removable Part or Obsolete Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder.
4.Loss, Destruction or Requisitions: Addition of Propellers.
(a)Event of Loss. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to a Propeller:
(i)each applicable Grantor shall promptly upon obtaining knowledge of such Event of Loss (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days after such occurrence) give the Collateral Agent written notice of such Event of Loss.

In the event of a requisition for use by any Governmental Authority or a CRAF activation of a Propeller or a propeller installed on an Engine while such Engine is subject to Liens of this Agreement, each applicable Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent of such requisition or activation and all of such Grantor’s obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Agreement shall continue to the same extent as if such requisition or activation had not occurred and shall not be reduced or delayed by such requisition or activation. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any payments received by the Collateral Agent or any Grantor from such Governmental Authority with respect to such requisition of use or activation may be paid over to, or retained by, such Grantor and shall not be required to be paid over to the Collateral Agent to hold as Collateral.

INSURANCE
A.Liability Insurance.
a.Except as provided in Section A.2 below, the applicable Grantor will carry at all times, at no expense to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, commercial airline legal liability insurance (including any passenger liability, property damage, baggage liability, cargo and mail liability, hangarkeeper’s liability and contractual liability insurance) with respect to each Propeller (including, as applicable, in respect of an Engine on which a Propeller is then installed) which is (i) in an amount not less than the amount of commercial airline legal liability insurance from time to time applicable to propellers owned or leased and operated by the applicable Grantor of the same type and operating on similar routes as such Propeller and (ii) of the type and covering the same risks as from time to time applicable to propellers operated by the applicable Grantor of the same type as such Propeller; and (iii) maintained in effect with insurers of nationally or internationally recognized responsibility (such insurers being referred to herein as “Approved Insurers”).
b.During any period that a Propeller is on the ground and not in operation, the applicable Grantor may carry, in lieu of the insurance required by Section A.1 above, insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said Section A.1 except that (i) the amounts of coverage shall not be required to exceed the amounts of liability and property damage insurance from time to time applicable to propeller owned or operated by the applicable Grantor of the same type as such Propeller which is on the ground and not in operation and (ii) the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time shall be applicable to propellers owned or operated by the applicable Grantor of the same type which are on the ground and not in operation by the applicable Grantor on the ground, not in operation, and stored or hangared.
B.Hull Insurance.
a.Except as provided in Section B.2 below, the applicable Grantor will carry, at no expense to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, with Approved Insurers “all-risk” aircraft hull insurance covering the Propellers (including when the Propeller is not installed on any engine) which is of the type as from time to time applicable to propellers owned by the applicable Grantor of the same type as such Propeller for an amount denominated in United States Dollars not less than, for each Propeller, 100% of the Appraised Value (which, as applicable based on the relevant Appraisal, may at the applicable Grantor’s option be a combined value for an aircraft comprised of its airframe, its associated Engines, and its associated Propellers or separate such values for any airframe, Engine or Propeller) as set forth in the most recent Appraisal delivered pursuant to the Loan Agreement before the date (or renewal date) of the applicable insurance policies (the “Agreed Value”), or, prior to the delivery of the initial Appraisal covering such Propeller, the applicable “Agreed Value” set forth in the initial insurance certificate delivered with respect thereto, but in no event, in all cases, less than applicable replacement value (as reasonably determined by the applicable Grantor and its insurers); and in each case such insurance shall include all-risk property damage insurance covering Propellers temporarily removed from an Engine and Parts while temporarily removed from any

All losses will be adjusted by the applicable Grantor with the insurers; provided, however, that during a period when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the applicable Grantor shall not agree to any such adjustment without the consent of the Appropriate Party.
Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Section B.1 or Section C covering any Propeller and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies shall provide that insurance proceeds under such policies shall be payable directly to the Collateral Agent for prompt deposit into a Collateral Proceeds Account if such insurance proceeds are in respect of an Event of Loss.

C.War-Risk, Hijacking and Allied Perils Insurance.
If the applicable Grantor shall at any time operate or propose to operate the Propeller (i) in any area of recognized hostilities or (ii) on international routes and war-risk, hijacking or allied perils insurance is maintained by the applicable Grantor with respect to other aircraft owned or operated by the applicable Grantor on such routes or in such areas, the applicable Grantor shall maintain war-risk, hijacking and related perils insurance of substantially the same type carried by major United States commercial air carriers operating the same or comparable models of aircraft on similar routes or in such areas and in no event in an amount less than the Agreed Value.
D.General Provisions.
Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with Sections A, B and C, including any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for such policies:
in the case of Section A, shall name the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party (collectively, the “Additional Insureds”), as an additional insured, as its interests may appear;
Annex 3A - 14
shall apply worldwide subject to standard territorial restrictions or limitations applicable in the Lloyd’s of London Insurance Market at the time the policy is issued (except only in the case of war, hijacking and related perils insurance required under Section C, which shall apply to the fullest extent available in the international insurance market);
shall provide that, in respect of the coverage of the Additional Insureds in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any act or omission (including misrepresentation and nondisclosure) by the applicable Grantor which results in a breach of any term, condition or warranty of the polices, provided that the Additional Insured so protected has not caused, contributed to or knowingly condoned said act or omission. However, the coverage afforded the Additional Insured will not apply in the event of exhaustion of policy limits or to losses or claims arising from perils specifically excluded from coverage under the policies;
shall provide that, if the insurers cancel such insurance for any reason whatsoever, or if any material change is made in the insurance policies by insurers which adversely affects the interest of any of the Additional Insureds, such cancellation or change shall not be effective as to the Additional Insureds for thirty (30) days (seven (7) days in the case of war risk, hijacking and allied perils insurance and ten (10) days in the case of nonpayment of premium) after receipt by the Additional Insureds of written notice by such insurers of such cancellation or change, provided that, if any notice period specified above is not reasonably obtainable, such policies shall provide for as long a period of prior notice as shall then be reasonably obtainable;
shall waive any rights of setoff (including for unpaid premiums), recoupment, counterclaim or other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, against each Additional Insured;
shall waive any right of subrogation against any Additional Insured;
shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be available to any Additional Insured;
shall provide that all of the liability insurance provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in all respects as if a separate policy had been issued covering each party insured thereunder;
shall provide that none of the Additional Insureds shall be liable for any insurance premium; and
shall contain a 50/50 Clause per Lloyd’s Aviation Underwriters’ Association Standard Policy Form AVS 103 or U.S. market equivalent.
E.Reports and Certificates; Other Information.
On the date of delivery of any Mortgage Supplement or Pledge Supplement with respect to each Propeller constituting Collateral, and on or prior to each renewal date of the insurance policies required hereunder, the applicable Grantor will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Collateral Agent insurance certificates describing in reasonable detail the commercial insurance maintained by the applicable Grantor hereunder and a report, signed by the applicable Grantor’s regularly retained independent insurance broker (the “Insurance Broker”), stating the opinion of such Insurance Broker that (a) all premiums in connection with the commercial insurance then due have been paid and (b) such insurance complies with the terms of this Appendix I. To the extent such agreement is reasonably obtainable the applicable Grantor will also cause the Insurance Broker to agree to advise the Secured Parties in writing of any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of the applicable Grantor of which it has knowledge and which might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any commercial insurance on such Propeller or cause the cancellation or termination of such insurance, and to advise the Secured Parties in writing at least thirty (30) days (seven (7) days in the case of war-risk and allied perils
Annex 3A - 15
coverage and ten (10) days in the case of nonpayment of premium, or such shorter period as may be available in the international insurance market, as the case may be) prior to the cancellation or material adverse change of any commercial insurance maintained pursuant to this Appendix I.
F.Right to Pay Premiums.
The Additional Insureds shall have the rights but not the obligations of an additional named insured. None of the Collateral Agent or 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 cancellation of any insurance due to the nonpayment of premiums, the Collateral Agent shall have the option, as directed by the Required Lenders, to pay any such premium in respect of the Propeller that is due in respect of the coverage pursuant to this Agreement and to maintain such coverage, as the Collateral Agent or the Appropriate Party may require, until the scheduled expiry date of such insurance and, in such event, the applicable Grantor shall, upon demand, reimburse the Collateral Agent or any Lender for amounts so paid by it, together with interest therein at the Default Rate from the date of payment.
G.Salvage Rights; Other.
All salvage rights to each Propeller shall remain with the applicable Grantor’s insurers at all times, and any insurance policies of the Collateral Agent insuring any Propeller shall provide for a release to the applicable Grantor of any and all salvage rights in and to any Propeller.

Appendix I to Annex 3B
APPENDIX I
INSURANCE
A.Liability Insurance.
a.Except as provided in Section A.2 below, the applicable Grantor will carry at all times, at no expense to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, commercial airline legal liability insurance (including any passenger liability, property damage, baggage liability, cargo and mail liability, hangarkeeper’s liability and contractual liability insurance) with respect to each Airframe and Engine (including, as applicable, in respect of an applicable Aircraft or airframe on which an Engine is then installed) which is (i) in an amount not less than the amount of commercial airline legal liability insurance from time to time applicable to aircraft (and airframes and engines) owned or leased and operated by the applicable Grantor of the same type and operating on similar routes as such aircraft, airframe or engine and (ii) of the type and covering the same risks as from time to time applicable to aircraft operated by the applicable Grantor of the same type as such aircraft, airframe or engine; and (iii) maintained in effect with insurers of nationally or internationally recognized responsibility (such insurers being referred to herein as “Approved Insurers”).
b.During any period that an Aircraft, Airframe or Engine is on the ground and not in operation, the applicable Grantor may carry, in lieu of the insurance required by Section A.1 above, insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said Section A.1 except that (i) the amounts of coverage shall not be required to exceed the amounts of liability and property damage insurance from time to time applicable to aircraft owned or operated by the applicable Grantor of the same type as such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine which is on the ground and not in operation and (ii) the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time shall be applicable to aircraft, airframes or engines, as applicable, owned or operated by the applicable Grantor of the same type which are on the ground and not in operation by the applicable Grantor on the ground, not in operation, and stored or hangared.
B.Hull Insurance.
a.Except as provided in Section B.2 below, the applicable Grantor will carry, at no expense to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, with Approved Insurers “all-risk” aircraft hull insurance covering the Airframes and Engines (including when the Engine is not installed on any airframe) which is of the type as from time to time applicable to airframes and engines owned by the applicable Grantor of the same type as such Airframe or Engine for an amount denominated in United States Dollars not less than, for each Aircraft, Airframe or Engine, 100% of the Appraised Value (which, as applicable based on the relevant Appraisal, may at the applicable Grantor’s option be a combined value for an Aircraft comprised of its Airframe and associated Engines, or separate such values for any Airframe or Engine) as set forth in the most recent Appraisal delivered pursuant to the Loan Agreement before the date (or renewal date) of the applicable insurance policies (the “Agreed Value”), or, prior to the delivery of the initial Appraisal covering such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine, the applicable “Agreed Value” set forth in the initial insurance certificate delivered with respect thereto, but in no event, in all cases, less than applicable replacement value (as reasonably determined by the applicable
Annex 3B - 17
Grantor and its insurers); and in each case such insurance shall include all-risk property damage insurance covering Engines temporarily removed from an Aircraft and Parts while temporarily removed from any Airframe or Engine, in each case and not replaced by similar components for not less than the replacement value thereof which are of the type as from time to time applicable to components owned by the applicable Grantor of the same type as such Engine and Parts for an amount denominated in United States Dollars (which replacement value shall, for an Engine with a separate Agreed Value pursuant to the foregoing, be not less than such Agreed Value).
All losses will be adjusted by the applicable Grantor with the insurers; provided, however, that during a period when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the applicable Grantor shall not agree to any such adjustment without the consent of the Appropriate Party.
Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Section B.1 or Section C covering any Aircraft, Airframe or Engine and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies shall provide that insurance proceeds under such policies shall be payable directly to the Collateral Agent for prompt deposit into a Collateral Proceeds Account if such insurance proceeds are in respect of an Event of Loss. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to notify an insurer that such insurance proceeds shall be paid directly to the Collateral Agent as provided in the immediately preceding sentence.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section B.1 shall not prohibit standard deductibles or industry standard self-insured retentions for hull insurance carried by the applicable Grantor.
b.During any period that an Aircraft, Airframe or Engine is on the ground and not in operation, the applicable Grantor may carry, in lieu of the insurance required by Section B.1 above, insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said Section B.1 except that the scope of the risks and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time applicable to aircraft owned by the applicable Grantor of the same type as such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine similarly on the ground and not in operation, provided that the applicable Grantor shall maintain insurance against risk of loss or damage to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine in an amount at least equal to the Agreed Value for such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine during such period that it is on the ground and not in operation.
C.War-Risk, Hijacking and Allied Perils Insurance.
If the applicable Grantor shall at any time operate or propose to operate the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine (i) in any area of recognized hostilities or (ii) on international routes and war-risk, hijacking or allied perils insurance is maintained by the applicable Grantor with respect to other aircraft owned or operated by the applicable Grantor on such routes or in such areas, the applicable Grantor shall maintain war-risk, hijacking and related perils insurance of substantially the same type carried by major United States commercial air carriers operating the same or comparable models of aircraft on similar routes or in such areas and in no event in an amount less than the Agreed Value.
D.General Provisions.
Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with Sections A, B and C, including any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for such policies:
Annex 3B - 18
in the case of Section A, shall name the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party (collectively, the “Additional Insureds”), as an additional insured, as its interests may appear;
shall apply worldwide subject to standard territorial restrictions or limitations applicable in the Lloyd’s of London Insurance Market at the time the policy is issued (except only in the case of war, hijacking and related perils insurance required under Section C, which shall apply to the fullest extent available in the international insurance market);
shall provide that, in respect of the coverage of the Additional Insureds in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any act or omission (including misrepresentation and nondisclosure) by the applicable Grantor which results in a breach of any term, condition or warranty of the polices, provided that the Additional Insured so protected has not caused, contributed to or knowingly condoned said act or omission. However, the coverage afforded the Additional Insured will not apply in the event of exhaustion of policy limits or to losses or claims arising from perils specifically excluded from coverage under the policies;
shall provide that, if the insurers cancel such insurance for any reason whatsoever, or if any material change is made in the insurance policies by insurers which adversely affects the interest of any of the Additional Insureds, such cancellation or change shall not be effective as to the Additional Insureds for thirty (30) days (seven (7) days in the case of war risk, hijacking and allied perils insurance and ten (10) days in the case of nonpayment of premium) after receipt by the Additional Insureds of written notice by such insurers of such cancellation or change, provided that, if any notice period specified above is not reasonably obtainable, such policies shall provide for as long a period of prior notice as shall then be reasonably obtainable;
shall waive any rights of setoff (including for unpaid premiums), recoupment, counterclaim or other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, against each Additional Insured;
shall waive any right of subrogation against any Additional Insured;
shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be available to any Additional Insured;
shall provide that all of the liability insurance provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in all respects as if a separate policy had been issued covering each party insured thereunder;
shall provide that none of the Additional Insureds shall be liable for any insurance premium; and
shall contain a 50/50 Clause per Lloyd’s Aviation Underwriters’ Association Standard Policy Form AVS 103 or U.S. market equivalent.
E.Reports and Certificates; Other Information.
On or prior to the Closing Date or on the date of delivery of any Pledge Supplement with respect to each Airframe and Engine constituting Collateral, and on or prior to each renewal date of the insurance policies required hereunder, the applicable Grantor will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Collateral Agent insurance certificates describing in reasonable detail the commercial insurance maintained by the applicable Grantor hereunder and a report, signed by the applicable Grantor’s regularly retained independent insurance broker (the “Insurance Broker”), stating the opinion of such Insurance Broker that (a) all premiums in connection with the commercial insurance then due have been paid and (b) such insurance complies with the terms of this Appendix I. To the extent such agreement is reasonably obtainable the applicable Grantor will also cause the Insurance Broker to agree to advise the Secured Parties in writing of any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of the applicable Grantor of which it has knowledge and which might invalidate or render
Annex 3B - 19
unenforceable, in whole or in part, any commercial insurance on such Airframe or Engine or cause the cancellation or termination of such insurance, and to advise the Secured Parties in writing at least thirty (30) days (seven (7) days in the case of war-risk and allied perils coverage and ten (10) days in the case of nonpayment of premium, or such shorter period as may be available in the international insurance market, as the case may be) prior to the cancellation or material adverse change of any commercial insurance maintained pursuant to this Appendix I.
F.Right to Pay Premiums.
The Additional Insureds shall have the rights but not the obligations of an additional named insured. None of the Collateral Agent or 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 cancellation of any insurance due to the nonpayment of premiums, the Collateral Agent shall have the option, as directed by the Required Lenders, to pay any such premium in respect of the Aircraft that is due in respect of the coverage pursuant to this Agreement and to maintain such coverage, as the Collateral Agent or the Appropriate Party may require, until the scheduled expiry date of such insurance and, in such event, the applicable Grantor shall, upon demand, reimburse the Collateral Agent or any Lender for amounts so paid by it, together with interest therein at the Default Rate from the date of payment.
G.Salvage Rights; Other.
All salvage rights to each Airframe and Engine shall remain with the applicable Grantor’s insurers at all times, and any insurance policies of the Collateral Agent insuring any Airframe or Engine shall provide for a release to the applicable Grantor of any and all salvage rights in and to any Airframe and Engine.
