INSURANCE.
|
a.
|
Grantor shall procure and maintain at all times all risks insurance on the Collateral, including, without limitation, fire, theft, liability and hull insurance, and such other insurance as Lender may require with respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably acceptable to Lender. Grantor shall further provide and maintain, at its sole cost and expense (provided, that Grantor may cause such insurance costs to be paid or reimbursed by any permitted lessee), comprehensive public liability insurance, naming both Grantor and Lender as parties insured, protecting against claims for bodily injury, death and/or property damage arising out of the use, ownership, possession, operation and condition of the Aircraft, and further containing a broad form contractual liability endorsement covering Grantor's obligations to indemnify Lender as provided under this Agreement. Such policies of insurance must also contain a provision, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, prohibiting cancellation or the alteration of such insurance without at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Lender of such intended cancellation or alteration. Such insurance policies also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Grantor or any other person. Grantor agrees to provide Lender with copies of such policies of insurance. Grantor, upon request of Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender. In connection with all policies covering assets in which Lender holds or is offered a security interest for the Indebtedness, Grantor will provide Lender with such lender's loss payable or other endorsements as Lender may require. Grantor shall not use or permit the Collateral to be used in any manner or for any purpose excepted from or contrary to the requirements of any insurance policy or policies required to be carried and maintained under this Agreement or for any purpose excepted or exempted from or contrary to the insurance policies, nor shall Grantor do any other act or permit anything to be done which could reasonably be expected to invalidate or limit any such insurance policy or policies.
|
b.
|
Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of any loss or damage to the Collateral, whether or not such casualty or loss is covered by insurance. Lender may make proof of loss if Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. All proceeds of any insurance on the Collateral, including accrued proceeds thereon, shall be held by Lender as part of the Collateral. If Lender consents to repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed Collateral, Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration. If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of the Collateral, Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to pay all of the Indebtedness, and shall pay the balance to Grantor. Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within six (6) months after their receipt and which Grantor has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Collateral shall be used to prepay the Indebtedness.
|
c.
|
Grantor, upon request of Lender, shall furnish to Lender reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such information as Lender may reasonably request including the following: (1) the name of the insurer; (2) the risks insured; (3) the amount of the policy; (4) the property insured; (5) the then current value on the basis of which insurance has been obtained and the manner of determining that value; and (6) the expiration date of the policy.

Grantor shall further promptly notify Lender in writing upon the occurrence of any event or circumstances that would, or that might, result in a breach of or default under any such prior Encumbrance. Grantor shall further not modify or extend any of the terms of any prior Encumbrance or any Indebtedness secured thereby, or request or obtain any additional loans or other extensions of credit from any third party creditor or creditors whenever such additional loan advances or other extensions of credit may be directly or indirectly secured, whether by cross-collateralization or otherwise, by the Collateral, or any part or parts thereof, with possible preference and priority over the lien of this Agreement.
|
17.
|
NOTICE OF ENCUMBRANCES AND EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Grantor shall immediately notify Lender in writing upon the filing of any attachment, lien, judicial process, or claim relating to the Collateral. Grantor additionally agrees to immediately notify Lender in writing upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, or event that with the passage of time, failure to cure, or giving of notice, may result in an Event of Default under any of the Grantor’s obligations that may be secured by any presently existing or future Encumbrance, or that may result in an Encumbrance affecting the Collateral, or should the Collateral be

|
GRANTOR'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION. Until a Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Grantor shall have the right to possession and beneficial use of the Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Loan Documents. Lender agrees not to disturb or otherwise interfere with the quiet enjoyment by Lessee of the Collateral so long as no default shall have occurred and is continuing under the Lease.
|
19.
|
LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender’s interest in the Collateral or if Grantor falls to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Grantor’s failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related Documents, Lender on Grantor’s behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender’s option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's maturity. The Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon Default.
|
20.
|
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:

|
c.
|
Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's or Grantor's property or ability to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.
|
d.
|
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or Grantor, or on Borrower's or Grantor’s behalf under this Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

|
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings.

This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's or Grantor’s accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower or Grantor as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower or Grantor gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.
|
a.
|
Events Affecting Guarantors. Any of the preceding events (other than paragraph (c) above) occurs with respect to any Guarantor (as such Guarantors are identified in the Master Loan Agreement) of the Indebtedness or a Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent or revokes or disputes the validity of or liability under any Guaranty of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, or in any of the Related Documents, the death or incompetency of a Guarantor shall not be an Event of Default if, within one hundred twenty (120) days following such death, the Borrowers provide a substitute guarantor approved by Lender, and Lender’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement or any Loan Document, or in any of the documents related hereto, neither a breach by a Guarantor of any agreement between the Guarantor and Lender, other than a Guaranty Agreement, nor the failure of a Guarantor to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in any agreement between

|
22.
|
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured party under the Wisconsin Uniform Commercial Code.

|
c.
|
Sell the Collateral. Lender shall have full power to sell, lease, transfer, or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in Lender's own name or that of Grantor. Lender may sell the Collateral at public auction or private sale.

However, no notice need be provided to any person who, after Event of Default occurs, enters into and authenticates an agreement waiving that person's right to notification of sale.

The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law. Lender's right to the appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Collateral exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount. Employment by Lender shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.

|
5.
|
Representations and Warranties. Grantor hereby represents and warrants as follows:
|
a.
|
Description of Collateral. The Pledged Ownership Interests are fully paid and non-assessable. The Pledged Ownership Interests constitute all of the issued and outstanding ownership interests of the Pledged Entity owned beneficially or of record by Grantor. Grantor does not hold nor does Grantor have any right to the issuance of any options or other rights to purchase, and is not party to any other agreement with respect to, and does not hold or have the right to any property that is now or hereafter convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any membership or other ownership interests of the Pledged Entity.
|
b.
|
Ownership of Collateral. (i) Grantor is the legal, record, and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Collateral free and clear of, and subject to no, pledges, Liens, security interests, charges, options, restrictions or other encumbrances, except the pledge and security interest created by this Agreement, and (ii) Grantor has the legal capacity to execute, deliver and perform Grantor’s obligations under this Agreement and to pledge and grant a security interest in all of the Collateral of which it is the legal or beneficial owner pursuant to this Agreement.
|
c.
|
Governmental Authorizations. No authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for either (i) the pledge by Grantor of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and the grant by Grantor of the security interest granted hereby, (ii) the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement by Grantor, or (iii) the exercise by the Lender of the voting or other rights, or the remedies in respect of the Collateral provided for in this Agreement (except as may be required in connection with a disposition of Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally).
|
d.
|
Opt-In to Article 8. With respect to the Pledged Ownership Interests, Grantor represents and warrants that the Pledged Entity has opted into Article 8 of the UCC; provided, however, that the Pledged Ownership Interests hereunder shall be deemed “securities” for purposes of UCC compliance only and Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the act of opting into Article 8 of the UCC alone does not categorize said interests as “securities” under any federal investment company laws or federal or state securities laws. None of the Collateral is dealt with or traded on any securities exchanges or in any securities markets.
|
e.
|
Creation, Perfection and Priority of Security Interest. By reason of the acts taken by Grantor, the Lender has a first priority, perfected security interest in the Collateral, and no further or additional acts are required to create and perfect the Lender’s security interest in and lien on the Collateral, and the security interest in and the lien on the Collateral securing the Lender is superior in right and priority to any rights or claims of any other Person. This Agreement constitutes an authenticated record, and the Lender is authorized at all times to file any and all UCC financing statements determined by the Lender to be necessary or desirable to perfect its security interest in the Collateral.
|
f.
|
No Other Financing Statements. Other than the UCC financing statements delivered and filed by Grantor and in connection with securing the Collateral, there is no financing statement (or similar statement or registration under the laws of any jurisdiction) now on file or registered in any public office covering any interest of Grantor or any or any other Person in the Collateral or intended so to be.
|
g.
|
Other Information. All information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to the Lender by Grantor with respect to the Collateral is accurate and complete in all material respects.
|

|
i.
|
Taxes and Assessments. Grantor shall pay promptly when due all taxes, assessments, and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all claims against, the Collateral, except to the extent the validity thereof is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and in which reserves or other appropriate provisions have been made or provided therefor; provided that Grantor shall in any event pay such taxes, assessments, charges, levies, or claims not later than five (5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale under any judgement, writ, or warrant of attachment entered or filed against Grantor or any of the Collateral as a result of the failure to make such payment.
|
j.
|
Further Assurances. Grantor shall from time to time, at the expense of Grantor, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Lender may reasonably request, in order to give full effect to this Agreement and to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Lender

|
c.
|
The Lender shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed, and delivered) to Grantor all such proxies, dividend payment orders, and other instruments as Grantor may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose of enabling Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph a, above, and to receive the Collateral Payments and Distributions which Grantor is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph b above.

|
a.
|
upon written notice from the Lender to Grantor, all rights of Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph 7 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Lender who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights;

|
e.
|
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Grantor agrees that this Agreement shall not in any way be deemed to obligate the Lender to assume any of Grantor’s obligations, duties, expenses, or liabilities arising out of this Agreement unless the Lender otherwise expressly agrees to assume any or all of said obligations, duties, expenses, or liabilities in writing.
|

|
subsequent to a Default which has not been cured or waived, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Lender with respect to any of the Collateral.
|
10.
|
Standard of Care. The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. 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 Lender shall have no duty as to any Collateral, it being understood that the Lender shall have no responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders, or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, (b) taking any necessary steps (other than steps taken in accordance with the standard of care set forth above to maintain possession of the Collateral) to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral, (c) taking any necessary steps to collect or realize upon the Secured Obligations or any guaranty therefor, or any part thereof, or any of the Collateral, or (d) initiating any action to protect the Collateral against the possibility of a decline in market value.

|
11.
|
Waiver of Defenses; Secured Obligations Not Affected. Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any defense based on: (i) except for a breach of the standard of care set forth in paragraph 10, any lack of diligence by the Lender in collection, protection or realization upon any Collateral; (ii) the failure to make or give notice of presentment and demand for payment, or failure to make or give protest and notice of dishonor or of default to Grantor or to any other party with respect to the Secured Obligations; (iii) any exculpation of liability of any party contained in the Loan Documents; (iv) the failure of the Lender to perfect any security or to extend or renew the perfection of any security; (v) any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or any right to require the marshalling of assets of Grantor; (vi) any fraudulent, illegal or improper act by the Pledged Entity or Grantor; and (vii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any other legal, equitable or suretyship defenses whatsoever to which Grantor might otherwise be entitled, it being the intention that the obligations of Grantor hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable.
|
12.
|
Remedies.
|
a.
|
If any Default shall have occurred and be continuing, beyond all applicable grace and cure periods under the Loan Documents, then the Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and the Lender may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parts at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or at any of the Lender’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 Lender may deem commercially reasonable,
|
b.
|
Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws, the Lender may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Grantor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including, without limitation, a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Lender shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it.
|
c.
|
If the Lender determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Collateral, then, upon the Lender’s written request, the Pledged Entity shall furnish to the Lender such information as the Lender may reasonably request of Grantor concerning Grantor and the Collateral granted by Grantor.
|
13.
|
Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by the Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Lender, be held by the Lender as Collateral for, and/or then, or at any time thereafter, applied in full or in part by the Lender against, the Secured Obligations in the following order of priority:
|
a.
|
FIRST: As provided for in the Loan Documents, and all reasonable amounts for which the Lender is entitled to indemnification hereunder and all advances made by the Lender hereunder for the account of Grantor; and
|
b.
|
SECOND: To the payment to or upon the order of Grantor, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.
|
14.
