WHEREAS , each of the parties hereto has agreed to enter into this Agreement to provide for the financing of certain aircraft by the Participants; and

WHEREAS , such aircraft will be mortgaged to, and the Lease associated with such aircraft will be assigned to, the Security Trustee, for the benefit of the Participants, pursuant to the Security Agreement (as defined in Annex A to this Agreement).

NOW THEREFORE , for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which has been duly received, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1.       Definitions . Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in Part I of Annex A to this Agreement and the Loan Operative Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the rules of construction set forth in Part II of Annex A to this Agreement.

Section 2.      The Loans .

2.1        Commitments to Lend .

(a)       Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Drawdown Date for each Aircraft, each Participant agrees to fund an amount equal to its Participation Percentage of the Loan Amount for such Aircraft to the Security Trustee to enable a loan (a “ Loan ”) for such Aircraft to be made to the Borrower of such Loan during the Availability Period. The 19002 Borrower shall be the “Borrower” for the Loan secured by the 19002 Aircraft. The 19003 Borrower shall be the “Borrower” for the Loan secured by the 19003 Aircraft. The Republic Borrower shall be the “Borrower” for each of the Loans secured by a Republic Aircraft. The Adria Borrower shall be the “Borrower” for the Loan secured by the Adria Aircraft. Unless the context shall otherwise require, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Operative Documents, the Loan for any Aircraft shall be equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan Certificates relating thereto.

[Credit Agreement]

(b)       Subject to Section 5.1(s), no Loan shall be advanced unless the Basic Rent for the related Lease shall, on a Dollar-for-Dollar basis, support the debt service requirements for such Loan specified in Section 2.5 (other than any balloon pursuant to Section 2.5(c)). If the condition specified in the first sentence of this Section 2.1(b) is not satisfied, then the Loan Amount of such Loan shall be reduced to such Loan Amount as shall satisfy the debt service coverage condition.

2.2        Notice of Borrowing . The relevant Borrower of a Loan shall deliver to the Agent a Notice of Borrowing by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as the Participants may otherwise agree) before the intended Drawdown Date for such Loan, which notice:

(a)       shall specify:

(i)       the Business Day on which the Drawdown Date is proposed to occur (for any Loan, its “ Scheduled Drawdown Date ”);

(ii)      the Loan Amount of such Loan; and

(iii)     wire instructions for the disbursement of such Loan on the Drawdown Date therefor; and

(b)       shall specify the manufacturer’s serial number and registration number of the relevant Aircraft and the manufacturer’s serial numbers of each Engine relating to such Aircraft; and

(c)       shall contain an indemnity by the Borrower of such Loan in favor of the Participants and the Swap Counterparty for any Liquidity Breakage, any LIBOR Breakage, any Swap Breakage Loss and interest and other expenses incurred pursuant to and in the manner specified in Sections 2.2(c) in respect of such Loan associated with a failure to borrow such Loan for any reason, other than a failure by the Participants to fund following the satisfaction of all conditions precedent thereto; such indemnity shall be guaranteed by the Borrower Parent.

Promptly following receipt of any Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall transmit the same to each Participant.

2.3        Funding Procedure . Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the applicable Scheduled Drawdown Date, the Participants shall make available their ratable share of the Loan to be funded on such Scheduled Closing Date, in immediately available funds, to the Security Trustee (such amounts being referred to in the aggregate as the “ Deposit ”). At such time as the Participants and the Agent are satisfied that the conditions precedent to a Drawdown Date have been satisfied or will be satisfied concurrently with funding, the Participants shall direct the Security Trustee to make the funds so received from the Participants immediately available to the Borrower of such Loan on such Scheduled Drawdown Date to the account specified by such Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing for such Loan.

[Credit Agreement]

2.4        Deposit; Commitment Cancellation .

(a)       If, for any reason, any Loan to be made hereunder on its Scheduled Drawdown Date shall not be so made on such date, the Deposit, and earnings thereon, will be, to the extent available, invested and reinvested by the Security Trustee at the sole discretion, for the account and at the risk of the relevant Borrower in an overnight deposit selected by the Security Trustee. The Borrower of such Loan agrees to pay to each Participant interest on the amount of the Deposit furnished by such Participant at the Debt Rate therefor, which interest (i) shall accrue to but excluding the earlier of the actual Drawdown Date or the fifth Business Day next succeeding the Scheduled Drawdown Date therefor (the “ Cutoff Date ”) and (ii) shall be payable on such earlier date.

(b)       If for any reason, other than the failure of any Participant to comply with the terms hereof, the Drawdown Date with respect to any Loan shall not have occurred on or prior to the applicable Cutoff Date, then each Participant may cancel, terminate or otherwise unwind any funding arrangements made in the London interbank market or otherwise to fund its Participation Percentage of the Loan Amount in respect of such Loan, and such Participant shall notify the Security Trustee thereof, and the Security Trustee shall return its Commitment to be funded on such Drawdown Date to such Participant.

(c)       In the event of the occurrence of the events described in Section 2.4(b) above, the applicable Borrower agrees to pay within three Business Days of the applicable Cutoff Date (A) to the Swap Counterparty, any Swap Breakage Loss and (B) to each Participant, without duplication of the amounts covered by the preceding clause (A), any Liquidity Breakage and any LIBOR Breakage and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Participant (including, without limitation, reasonable legal costs and expenses) incurred by such Participant.

(d)       The Participants’ Commitments for all Loans shall be automatically terminated at 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Availability Termination Date.

(e)       If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then in every such case, the Agent shall, upon receipt of written demand therefor from the Required Participants, at any time by delivery of written notice or notices to the Borrowers cancel all remaining unutilized Commitments, whereupon such unutilized Commitments shall be cancelled, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived; provided that all unutilized Commitments will automatically be cancelled without any action by the Agent or the Participants and without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived, in the case of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default under Section 4.02(g) of the Security Agreement.

2.5        Debt Rate; Hedging; Amortization Schedules .

(a)       Each Loan shall bear interest at a floating rate of interest from the relevant Drawdown Date to the relevant Maturity Date. At least two Business Days prior to each Interest Period, the Agent shall determine the Debt Rate for such Interest Period, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and shall notify the relevant Borrower of such Debt Rate. The Agent’s failure to so notify such Borrower of such Debt Rate shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to pay interest payable hereunder nor shall it give rise to any claim against the Agent or any Participant by such Borrower. The relevant Debt Rate shall include the Liquidity Margin for such Loan.

[Credit Agreement]

(b)       Two Business Days prior to the Drawdown Date in respect of a Loan, the relevant Borrower shall enter into a Swap Transaction in respect of such Loan. Each Swap Transaction shall be evidenced by a Swap Agreement to hedge the interest rate risk arising from the mismatch between the fixed basic rentals under the relevant Lease to which the relevant Borrower or Lessor, as the case may be, is party and the relevant Debt Rate (the “ Exposure ”). At all times, 100% (and not more than 100%) of the Exposure will be hedged through such Swap Transaction. All payments to be made by the Swap Counterparty to the Borrowers under any Swap Agreement shall be paid directly by the Swap Counterparty into the relevant Collateral Account relating to the related Lease. All payments to be made by the Borrowers to the Swap Counterparty under any Swap Agreement shall be sourced exclusively from distributions made under Article III of the Security Agreement or from the Borrower Parent or other Affiliate of the Borrowers. The Security Trustee shall be granted a first priority, perfected security interest in each Swap Agreement entered into pursuant hereto. The Borrowers agree that they shall not enter into any other derivatives agreements or other hedging arrangements not provided for under this Section 2.5(b).

(c)        (i)    Each Loan with respect to a Republic Aircraft shall amortize monthly on each relevant Payment Date on a mortgage-style basis such that the principal amount payable on the Maturity Date with respect to such Loan shall be equal to zero in the manner provided in Schedule IV. The principal balance of such Loan outstanding on such Maturity Date shall be due and payable on such date.

(ii)       The Loan with respect to the Adria Aircraft shall amortize monthly on each relevant Payment Date on a mortgage-style basis with a balloon payment payable on the Maturity Date with respect to such Loan in the manner provided in Schedule IV.

The principal balance of such Loan outstanding on such Maturity Date shall be due and payable on such date.

(iii)       Each Loan with respect to an Air Nostrum Aircraft shall amortize quarterly on each relevant Payment Date on a mortgage-style basis with a balloon payment payable on the Maturity Date with respect to such Loan in the manner provided in Schedule IV. The principal balance of such Loan outstanding on such Maturity Date shall be due and payable on such date.

(iv)       For the purposes of the foregoing calculations, the interest component of debt service on any particular Loan shall be deemed to be the amount thereof determined by utilizing the Swap Rate under the related Swap Transaction effected in accordance with the Section 2.5(b) (calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed).

[Credit Agreement]

(v)       The amortization schedule for each Loan (to be appended to each applicable Loan Certificate) shall be prepared by the Agent based on the foregoing methodology, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)       Before the discontinuation of the LIBOR Rate as a benchmark U.S. Dollar interest rate (which is currently planned to occur on or before December 31, 2021), each of the Borrowers, the Agent and the Participants will agree:

(i)       a replacement benchmark U.S. Dollar interest rate with respect to interest payable on each Loan, which:

(1)        the Borrowers, the Agent and the Participants anticipate at such time is likely to be a benchmark rate that is generally accepted and adopted by applicable market participants; and

(2)       will be implemented on a non-discriminatory basis with respect to each Participant’s similar (in terms of structure, product type and debtor profile) commercial aviation finance transactions; and

(ii)      any related necessary amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Operative Documents, including any necessary amendments to (or replacements of) the definitions of “1 Month LIBOR Rate”, “3 Month LIBOR Rate”, “Market Disruption Event”, “Quotation Day” and “Screen Rate”.

2.6        Manner of Payment . Each Loan shall be disbursed by the Security Trustee to the applicable Borrower at such account or accounts as shall be directed in accordance with Section 2.2 in immediately available funds.

(a)       The Borrowers agree to pay the fees set forth in the Fee Letter at such times as are required by the terms thereof.

(b)       The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent annually in advance its administrative fee (the “ Agency Fee ”) in the amount of $10,000 per Aircraft on the Closing Date and on each anniversary thereof (or, if such anniversary is not a Business Day, the next immediately succeeding Business Day). To the extent that the Closing Date and the initial Drawdown Date occur on the same Business Day, the Agency Fee due and payable on the Closing Date shall be set off against the portion of the Loans funded by NordLB on the initial Drawdown Date.

[Credit Agreement]

2.8        Air Nostrum Aircraft Payments . In respect of each Loan for an Air Nostrum Aircraft, the sum of any amounts paid by Bombardier Inc. under the relevant Residual Value Guarantee (the “ RVG Payment Amount ”) and any sales proceeds (including any purchase deposits) received by the relevant Borrower from the sale of such Air Nostrum Aircraft (together with the relevant RVG Payment Amount, in respect of such Air Nostrum Aircraft, the “ Air Nostrum Proceeds ”) shall be applied (i) first, to any amounts outstanding under the relevant Loan Certificates, together with any Swap Breakage Loss, LIBOR Breakage and Prepayment Fee (in accordance with Section 2.10 of the Security Agreement) in respect of such Aircraft and (ii) second, to any amounts outstanding under the relevant Loan Certificates for the other Air Nostrum Aircraft, together with any Swap Breakage Loss, LIBOR Breakage and Prepayment Fee (in accordance with Section 2.10 of the Security Agreement) in respect of such Aircraft. To the extent the Air Nostrum Proceeds are in excess of the amounts outstanding under the Loans related to the Air Nostrum Aircraft on the relevant date of prepayment (such excess, an “ Air Nostrum Excess Amount ”), such Air Nostrum Excess Amount shall either be applied to any amounts outstanding under the Loan related to the Adria Aircraft in accordance with Section 2.10 of the Security Agreement or, at the election of the Adria Borrower, deposited in the Cash Collateral Account as security for such Loan in accordance with the Security Agreement. To the extent the Adria Borrower elects to deposit the Air Nostrum Excess Amount in the Cash Collateral Account, the Air Nostrum Excess Amount shall remain in the Cash Collateral Account until the Lien in respect of the Adria Aircraft is terminated in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Security Agreement.

The Pledgor agrees to deliver to the Security Trustee on or prior to the Closing Date a duly executed beneficial interest transfer form in blank in the form of Exhibit A hereto.

Section 6.       Remedies upon Default . If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Security Trustee may exercise all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction, with respect to the Pledged Collateral and, in addition, the Security Trustee may, without being required to give any notice except as herein provided or as may be required by applicable law, sell, assign, transfer, endorse and deliver the whole or, from time to time, any part of the Pledged Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Security Trustee in its reasonable discretion shall deem appropriate. The Security Trustee shall be authorized at any sale to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Pledged Collateral for their own account in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”). Upon consummation of any sale, the Security Trustee shall have the right to assign, transfer, endorse and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged Collateral sold and all of the voting and consensual rights and powers granted and reserved to the Security Trustee pursuant hereto shall thereupon become vested in such purchaser or purchasers, subject to any reservations or qualifications imposed by the Security Trustee. Each purchaser at any sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, appraisal, reclamation and turnover which the Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Security Trustee shall give the Pledgor (with a copy to the Owner Trustee) ten days’ written notice (which the Pledgor agrees is reasonable notification within the meaning of Section 9-612 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction) of the Security Trustee’s intention to attempt to sell any of the Pledged Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale, and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall identify the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Pledged Collateral, or a portion thereof, will first be offered for sale. Any public sale of any of the Pledged Collateral shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Security Trustee may state in the notice or publication (if any) of such sale. At any sale, the Pledged Collateral, or any portion thereof to be sold, may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Security Trustee may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Security Trustee shall not be obligated to sell any of the Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of a sale of such Pledged Collateral may have been given. The Security Trustee may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, occur at the time and place identified in such announcement. In case all or any part of the Pledged Collateral is sold on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Collateral so sold may be retained by the Security Trustee until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Security Trustee shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Pledged Collateral may be sold again upon ten days’ notice (which the Pledgor agrees is reasonable notification within the meaning of Section 9-612 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction). At any sale made pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Security Trustee may bid for or purchase, free from any right of redemption, stay, appraisal, reclamation or turnover on the part of the Pledgor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), any Pledged Collateral offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using the amount of Secured Obligations outstanding to it from the Pledgor as a credit against the purchase price, and the Security Trustee may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of the Pledged Collateral sold without further accountability to the Pledgor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase all or any part of the Pledged Collateral shall be treated as a sale thereof and the Security Trustee shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement, and the Pledgor shall not be entitled to the return of any Pledged Collateral subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Security Trustee shall have entered into such agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Security Trustee may proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and sell the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court having competent jurisdiction and/or pursuant to a proceeding of a court-appointed receiver.

[Beneficial Interest Pledge Agreement (MSN [__________])]

The Pledgor hereby constitutes and appoints the Security Trustee the attorney-in-fact of the Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument which the Security Trustee may deem necessary or reasonably advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is granted as security for the performance of the Pledgor’s obligations hereunder and for valuable consideration, and is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Security Trustee shall have the right, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Security Trustee’s name or in the name of the Pledgor, to settle, compromise, prosecute or defend any action, claim or proceeding with respect to the Pledged Collateral and shall have the right to sell, assign, endorse, pledge, transfer and make any agreement respecting, or otherwise deal with, the same.

Section 7.       Cooperation . The Pledgor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if for any reason the Security Trustee desires to sell any of the Pledged Collateral at a sale, it will, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Security Trustee, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trust to take such action and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents as are required for the Security Trustee to permit the sale of such Pledged Collateral.

[Beneficial Interest Pledge Agreement (MSN [__________])]

Section 8.       Private Sales . (a) The Pledgor recognizes that the Security Trustee may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale. The Security Trustee shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Trust to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Trust would agree to do so; nor shall the Trust be at any time obligated to register the Beneficial Interest for a public sale.

(b)       The Pledgor further agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 8 valid and binding and in compliance with applicable laws. The Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8 will cause irreparable injury to the Security Trustee, that the Security Trustee has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 9.       Application of Proceeds of Sale and Cash and Securities . The proceeds of any sale of or realization upon the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral and cash retained by the Security Trustee pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied by the Security Trustee in accordance with Section 3.03 of the Mortgage.

Section 10.      Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Pledged Collateral . Neither the Security Trustee nor any director, officer, employee or counsel of the Security Trustee shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them relative to any of the Pledged Collateral except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 11.      Further Assurances . The Pledgor agrees that at no expense to the Security Trustee, (a) it will duly execute and deliver (to the Security Trustee or otherwise) or cause to be duly executed and delivered (to the Security Trustee or otherwise) and will file or record such notices, financing statements or other documents as may be necessary to enable the perfection of the Lien of the Security Trustee hereunder, or as the Security Trustee may reasonably request, such instruments to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Security Trustee, and (b) it will do or cause to be done such further acts and things and execute and deliver (to the Security Trustee or otherwise) such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments, as the Security Trustee may at any time reasonably request in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement or relative to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or in order to assure and confirm unto the Security Trustee its rights, powers and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, the protection and perfection of the Security Trustee’s Lien in the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof.

All notices and other communications shall be in writing and shall be given or made by fax, mail or personal delivery and faxed, mailed or delivered to the intended recipient at the address specified in Schedule 1 to the Credit Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated by the Pledgor or the Security Trustee in a notice to the other party hereto. All such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by fax (provided such transmission by fax is in legible form and is accompanied by or generates a substantially simultaneous confirmation of transmission), or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.

Section 13.      No Waiver . No failure on the part of the Security Trustee or any of its agents to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Security Trustee or any of its agents of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Section 14.      GOVERNING LAW . THIS AGREEMENT SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

Section 17.      Termination .

(a)       Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations, this Agreement shall terminate and the Security Trustee, at the request of the Pledgor, will execute and deliver to the Pledgor, at no cost to the Security Trustee, a proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to the Pledgor all of the rights and moneys at the time held by the Security Trustee under this Agreement and will execute any other instrument reasonably requested by the Pledgor in connection with the foregoing.

(b)       Upon (or at any time after) payment in full of the principal amount of and interest on and all other amounts due under all Loan Certificates related to the Republic Aircraft owned by the Trust and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgor may direct the Security Trustee to execute and deliver to or as directed in writing by the Pledgor an appropriate instrument releasing the Pledged Collateral from the Lien of this Agreement and the Security Trustee shall execute and deliver such instrument as aforesaid.

Section 18.       Severability . If any provision hereof is invalid and unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgor hereby waives any provision of law that renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

(x)       the taking of any action necessary for the purpose of effecting any actions specified in the foregoing clauses (i) through (ix);

(b)       The Pledgor shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Security Trustee, as appropriate, all such proxies and other instruments as the Security Trustee may request for the purpose of enabling the Security Trustee to exercise all rights and privileges in respect of the Membership Interest and/or the voting and/or consensual rights and powers which the Security Trustee is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 5.

(c)       At any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 5(a) shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Security Trustee, without further act who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and remedies

(d)       Upon any sale or other disposition of any part of the Pledged Collateral by the Security Trustee pursuant to Section 7 hereof, all of the voting and consensual rights, privileges and powers referred to in the preceding sentence pertaining to such part shall in any event become vested in the Person to whom such sale or disposition is made, which Person shall thereafter have the sole and exclusive right to exercise such voting and consensual rights, privileges and powers.

The Pledgor agrees to deliver to the Security Trustee on or prior to the Closing Date a duly executed limited liability company interest transfer form in blank in the form of Exhibit A hereto.

[Borrower Parent Pledge Agreement]

Section 7.       Remedies upon Default . If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Security Trustee may exercise all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction, with respect to the Pledged Collateral and, in addition, the Security Trustee may, without being required to give any notice except as herein provided or as may be required by applicable law, sell, assign, transfer, endorse and deliver the whole or, from time to time, any part of the Pledged Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Security Trustee in its reasonable discretion shall deem appropriate. The Security Trustee shall be authorized at any sale to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Pledged Collateral for their own account in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”). Upon consummation of any sale, the Security Trustee shall have the right to assign, transfer, endorse and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged Collateral sold and all of the voting and consensual rights and powers granted and reserved to the Security Trustee pursuant hereto shall thereupon become vested in such purchaser or purchasers, subject to any reservations or qualifications imposed by the Security Trustee. Each purchaser at any sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, appraisal, reclamation and turnover which the Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Security Trustee shall give the Pledgor (with a copy to the Company) ten days’ written notice (which the Pledgor agrees is reasonable notification within the meaning of Section 9-612 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction) of the Security Trustee’s intention to attempt to sell any of the Pledged Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale, and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall identify the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Pledged Collateral, or a portion thereof, will first be offered for sale. Any public sale of any of the Pledged Collateral shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Security Trustee may state in the notice or publication (if any) of such sale. At any sale, the Pledged Collateral, or any portion thereof to be sold, may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Security Trustee may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Security Trustee shall not be obligated to sell any of the Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of a sale of such Pledged Collateral may have been given. The Security Trustee may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, occur at the time and place identified in such announcement. In case all or any part of the Pledged Collateral is sold on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Collateral so sold may be retained by the Security Trustee until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Security Trustee shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Pledged Collateral may be sold again upon ten days’ notice (which the Pledgor agrees is reasonable notification within the meaning of Section 9-612 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction). At any sale made pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Security Trustee may bid for or purchase, free from any right of redemption, stay, appraisal, reclamation or turnover on the part of the Pledgor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), any Pledged Collateral offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using the amount of Secured Obligations outstanding to it from the Pledgor as a credit against the purchase price, and the Security Trustee may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of the Pledged Collateral sold without further accountability to the Pledgor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase all or any part of the Pledged Collateral shall be treated as a sale thereof and the Security Trustee shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement, and the Pledgor shall not be entitled to the return of any Pledged Collateral subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Security Trustee shall have entered into such agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Security Trustee may proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and sell the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court having competent jurisdiction and/or pursuant to a proceeding of a court-appointed receiver.

[Borrower Parent Pledge Agreement]

The Pledgor hereby constitutes and appoints the Security Trustee the attorney-in-fact of the Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument which the Security Trustee may deem necessary or reasonably advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is granted as security for the performance of the Pledgor’s obligations hereunder and for valuable consideration, and is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Security Trustee shall have the right, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Security Trustee’s name or in the name of the Pledgor, to settle, compromise, prosecute or defend any action, claim or proceeding with respect to the Pledged Collateral and shall have the right to sell, assign, endorse, pledge, transfer and make any agreement respecting, or otherwise deal with, the same.

Section 8.       Cooperation . The Pledgor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if for any reason the Security Trustee desires to sell any of the Pledged Collateral at a sale, it will, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Security Trustee, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to take such action and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents as are required for the Security Trustee to permit the sale of such Pledged Collateral.

Section 9.      Private Sales . (a) The Pledgor recognizes that the Security Trustee may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale. The Security Trustee shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Company to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Company would agree to do so; nor shall the Company be at any time obligated to register the Membership Interest for a public sale.

(b)       The Pledgor further agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 8 valid and binding and in compliance with applicable laws. The Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8 will cause irreparable injury to the Security Trustee, that the Security Trustee has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

[Borrower Parent Pledge Agreement]

Section 10.      Application of Proceeds of Sale and Cash and Securities . The proceeds of any sale of or realization upon the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral and cash retained by the Security Trustee pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied by the Security Trustee in accordance with Section 3.03 of the Mortgage.

Section 11.    Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Pledged Collateral . Neither the Security Trustee nor any director, officer, employee or counsel of the Security Trustee shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them relative to any of the Pledged Collateral except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 12.    Further Assurances . The Pledgor agrees that at no expense to the Security Trustee, (a) it will duly execute and deliver (to the Security Trustee or otherwise) or cause to be duly executed and delivered (to the Security Trustee or otherwise) and will file or record such notices, financing statements or other documents as may be necessary to enable the perfection of the Lien of the Security Trustee hereunder, or as the Security Trustee may reasonably request, such instruments to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Security Trustee, and (b) it will do or cause to be done such further acts and things and execute and deliver (to the Security Trustee or otherwise) such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments, as the Security Trustee may at any time reasonably request in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement or relative to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or in order to assure and confirm unto the Security Trustee its rights, powers and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, the protection and perfection of the Security Trustee’s Lien in the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof.

Section 13.    Notices . All notices and other communications shall be in writing and shall be given or made by fax, mail or personal delivery and faxed, mailed or delivered to the intended recipient at the address specified in Schedule 1 to the Credit Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated by the Pledgor or the Security Trustee in a notice to the other party hereto. All such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by fax (provided such transmission by fax is in legible form and is accompanied by or generates a substantially simultaneous confirmation of transmission), or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.

Section 14.    No Waiver . No failure on the part of the Security Trustee or any of its agents to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Security Trustee or any of its agents of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Section 15.    GOVERNING LAW . THIS AGREEMENT SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

(b)       Upon(or at any time after) payment in full of the principal amount of and interest on and all other amounts due under all Loan Certificates related to the Aircraft owned by the Company and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgor may direct the Security Trustee to execute and deliver to or as directed in writing by the Pledgor an appropriate instrument releasing the Pledged Collateral from the Lien of this Agreement and the Security Trustee shall execute and deliver such instrument as aforesaid.

Section 19.    Severability . If any provision hereof is invalid and unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgor hereby waives any provision of law that renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

It is expressly agreed that anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, each Mortgagor shall remain liable under the Granting Clause Documents to which it is a party, to perform all of the obligations assumed by it thereunder, except to the extent prohibited or excluded from doing so pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof, and the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties shall have no obligation or liability under the Granting Clause Documents, other than to abide by the terms of such Granting Clause Documents (including in respect of any Lessee’s rights of quiet enjoyment) by reason of or arising out of the assignment hereunder, nor shall the Mortgagee or the Secured Parties be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of any Mortgagor under or pursuant to the Granting Clause Documents, or, except as herein expressly provided, to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or present or file any claim, or take any action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the rights of the Mortgagors under Sections 4.03 and 4.04(a), during the continuance of any Event of Default under this Security Agreement, the Mortgagee shall have the right under such power of attorney to accept any offer in connection with the exercise of remedies as set forth herein of any purchaser to purchase any Airframe and any Engines and upon such purchase to execute and deliver in the name of and on behalf of the Mortgagor an appropriate bill of sale and other instruments of transfer relating to such Airframe and Engines, to perform all other necessary or appropriate acts with respect to any such purchase, and in its discretion to file any claim or take any other action or proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of any Mortgagor or otherwise, which the Mortgagee may deem necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the right, title and interest of the Mortgagee in and to such Rents and other sums and the security intended to be afforded hereby; provided, that no action of the Mortgagee pursuant to this paragraph shall increase the obligations or liabilities of any Mortgagor to any person beyond those obligations and liabilities specifically set forth in this Security Agreement and in the other Operative Documents. The Mortgagee shall direct any Lessee, so long as this Security Agreement shall not have been fully discharged, to make all payments of Rent (other than Excluded Payments), Return Compensation Payments and all other amounts which are required to be paid to or deposited with a Mortgagor pursuant to any Lease (other than Excluded Payments, any maintenance reserves or supplemental rent payable under such Lease and any security deposit payable under such Lease) directly to, or as directed by, the Mortgagee at such address or addresses as the Mortgagee shall specify, for application as provided in Article III of this Security Agreement. Notwithstanding such direction, if any of the above amounts that are required to be transferred to the Mortgagee are transferred to such Mortgagor, such Mortgagor agrees that promptly upon receipt thereof, it will transfer to the Mortgagee any and all monies from time to time received by it constituting part of the Mortgaged Property, for distribution by the Mortgagee pursuant to this Security Agreement.

Each Mortgagor agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Mortgagee, such Mortgagor shall promptly and duly execute and deliver or cause to be duly executed and delivered any and all such further instruments and documents as the Mortgagee may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to perfect, preserve or protect the mortgage, security interests and assignments created or intended to be created hereby or to obtain for the Mortgagee the full benefits of the assignment hereunder and of the rights and powers herein granted.

Each Mortgagor hereby represents and warrants that it has not assigned or pledged, and hereby covenants and agrees that it will not assign or pledge, so long as the assignment hereunder shall remain in effect, and the lien hereof shall not have been released pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof, any of its right, title or interest hereby assigned to the Mortgaged Property, to anyone other than the Mortgagee, and that it will not, except as otherwise provided in this Security Agreement (including, but not limited to, Sections 4.03 and 6.01), except with the written consent of the Mortgagee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and except with respect to Excluded Payments to which it is entitled:

(a)        accept any payment from any Lessee Party under any Operative Document (other than any security deposit and/or maintenance reserves and/or supplemental rent payable under the relevant Lease);

(b)        enter into any agreement amending or supplementing any Lease, any Residual Value Guarantee or any other Lease Operative Document;

(c)        except as expressly provided herein in respect of Day-to-Day Operational Matters, execute any waiver or modification of, or consent under, the terms of any Lease, any Residual Value Guarantee or any other Lease Operative Document;

(d)        settle or compromise any claim against any Lessee Party arising under any Lease Operative Document or against Bombardier Inc. arising under any Residual Value Guarantee; or

(e)        submit or consent to the submission of any dispute, difference or other matter against the Lessee or any other Lessee Party arising under or in respect of any Lease Operative Document or against Bombardier Inc. arising under or in respect of any Residual Value Guarantee to arbitration thereunder (unless submission is required thereunder, in which case such Mortgagor shall notify the Mortgagee of such submission as soon as practicable).

Each Mortgagor hereby further agrees that it will not without the written consent of the Mortgagee:

(a)        receive or collect or agree to the receipt or collection of any payment of Rent, including, without limitation, Basic Rent, Return Compensation Payments or any other payment to be made pursuant to any Lease prior to the date for the payment thereof provided for by such Lease or assign, transfer or hypothecate (other than to the Mortgagee hereunder and under the Security Documents) any payment of Rent, including, without limitation, Basic Rent, Return Compensation Payments or any other payment to be made to such Mortgagor, pursuant to any Lease or any other Lease Operative Document, then due or to accrue in the future under such Lease in respect of the Airframe and Engines subject thereto but in all cases excluding Excluded Payments, any maintenance reserves or supplemental rent payable under a Lease or any security deposits payable under a Lease; or

(b)        sell, mortgage, transfer, assign or hypothecate (other than to the Mortgagee hereunder) its interest in any Aircraft, any Airframe, or any Engine or any part thereof or in the Aircraft Documents or in any amount to be received by it from the use or disposition of such Airframe or Engines, other than amounts distributed to it pursuant to Article III hereof.

It is hereby further agreed that any and all property otherwise meeting the definition of Mortgaged Property which is hereafter acquired by any Mortgagor shall ipso facto, and without any further conveyance, assignment or act on the part of such Mortgagor or the Mortgagee, become and be subject to the Lien and security interest herein granted as fully and completely as though specifically described herein, but nothing contained in this paragraph shall be deemed to modify or change the obligations of such Mortgagor contained in the foregoing paragraphs.

Each Mortgagor hereby ratifies and confirms any Lease to which it is a party and does hereby agree that it will not violate any covenant or agreement made by it therein, herein or in any other Operative Document.

Notwithstanding the Granting Clause or anything to the contrary herein, there is hereby excluded from the foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, grant, pledge and security interest all Excluded Payments.

IT IS HEREBY COVENANTED AND AGREED by and between the parties hereto as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.01    Definitions .  For all purposes of this Security Agreement the terms used herein in capitalized form but not defined herein are used as defined in the Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE II

THE LOAN CERTIFICATES

Section 2.01    Form of Loan Certificates .  The Loan Certificates for each Loan shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

Section 2.02    Issuance and Terms of Loan Certificates .

(a)         Loan Certificates .  On the Drawdown Date for a Loan, there shall be issued and delivered to each Participant one or more Loan Certificates dated such Drawdown Date, captioned as having been issued in connection with the Aircraft related to such Loan, and payable to such Participant, in an aggregate Original Amount equal to the amount of such Participants’ portion of such Loan. Subject to Section 2.02(e), each Loan Certificate shall bear interest at the Debt Rate for such Loan (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual number of days elapsed) on the unpaid Original Amount thereof from time to time outstanding, payable in arrears on each Payment Date for such Loan; provided that each Loan Certificate shall instead bear interest at the Past Due Rate (calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and actual number of days elapsed) on any part of the Original Amount thereof, and any accrued interest, in each case not paid when due for any period during which the same shall be overdue. Interest payable on any Payment Date shall be in respect of the Interest Period ending on or about such date. Each Loan Certificate shall mature on the applicable Maturity Date. The Original Amounts of the Loan Certificates shall be payable on the dates and in the installments set forth in the Amortization Schedule for such Loan Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment made under each Loan Certificate shall be in an amount sufficient to discharge in full the unpaid Original Amount, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, and any other amounts due under, such Loan Certificate.

(b)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any date on which a payment under any Loan Certificate becomes due and payable is not a Business Day then such payment shall not be made on such scheduled date but shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day; provided that, if such succeeding Business Day would fall in the next calendar month, then such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(c)        Each Loan Certificate shall be executed by the Borrower who borrowed the related Loan by an authorized signatory of such Borrower. Each Loan Certificate bearing the signatures of individuals who were at any time the authorized signatories of any Borrower shall bind such Borrower, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be authorized signatories prior to the execution and delivery of such Loan Certificates or at the respective dates of such Loan Certificates. Each Loan Certificate shall be dated the Drawdown Date for the Loan to which such Loan Certificate relates, whether issued on such date or a later date.

(d)        The aggregate principal amount of all Loan Certificates to be issued and outstanding hereunder shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment.

(e)        If a Market Disruption Event occurs, each affected Participant will be entitled, so long as the Market Disruption Event shall continue, to charge interest on the principal amount of the Loans held by such Participant for each Interest Period during which such Market Disruption Event is continuing, at a per annum rate equal to for each affected Interest Period, the sum of the cost of funds to such affected Participant for such Interest Period and the relevant Applicable Margin. The report by any Participant to the Agent of its cost of funds for any Interest Period shall be promptly provided to the Borrowers and, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and shall constitute a certification by such Participant that the interest rate so provided is an accurate and fair calculation of its Treasury-assessed funding costs for such Interest Period, which assessment has been made on a fair and non-discriminatory basis. As of the date hereof, no Market Disruption Event exists.

 Section 2.03    Certain Accounts .

(a)         Collateral Accounts .  Each Borrower or Lessor, as the context may require, shall establish prior to the relevant Drawdown Date at the Security Trustee an account (each a “ Collateral Account ” and together the “ Collateral Accounts ”) in the name of and under the control of the Security Trustee, into which all Basic Rent, Return Compensation Payments and any Event of Loss proceeds, and any other amounts payable by the relevant Lessee to such Mortgagor under the relevant Lease (including proceeds of insurance but excluding any Excluded Payment, any maintenance reserves or supplemental rent payable under such Lease and any security deposit payable under such Lease), and all amounts payable in connection with the Loan related to the related Aircraft under the Loan Operative Documents, including without limitation any amounts payable to the relevant Borrower under a Swap Agreement with respect thereto, shall be deposited into the relevant Collateral Account. The balance from time to time in the Collateral Accounts shall be under the control of the Security Trustee and shall constitute part of the Mortgaged Property hereunder and shall not constitute payment of the Secured Obligations until applied as herein provided and shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided herein. All amounts deposited into the Collateral Accounts shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 3.01 (subject to Section 3.02 or 3.03, as the case may be). Subject to the foregoing, the relevant Mortgagor and the Security Trustee hereby irrevocably instruct Wilmington Trust Company to apply amounts on deposit in the Collateral Accounts in the manner set forth in Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03, as the case may be. Such Mortgagor and the Security Trustee agree that any amounts received into the relevant Collateral Account and not immediately applied pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02 may be invested from time to time in Agreed Investments unless otherwise instructed by the relevant Mortgagor, or, following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default which is continuing, the Required Participants, and that any income earned or losses incurred on such investments will be for the account of the relevant Mortgagor (where funds credited to such Collateral Account are invested). For the avoidance of doubt, the Mortgagee and each Mortgagor agrees that any maintenance reserves or supplemental rent payable under a Lease and any security deposit payable under a Lease that is deposited in a Collateral Account may be paid to the relevant Mortgagor or the Borrower Parent.

(b)         Cash Collateral Account .  The relevant Mortgagor shall establish at the Security Trustee prior to the Drawdown Date for the Adria Aircraft an account (the “ Cash Collateral Account ”) in the name of and under the control of the Security Trustee into which there shall be deposited from time to time the Adria Cash Collateral Amount, the Air Nostrum Excess Amounts and any Excess Sale Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(ii). The balance from time to time in the Cash Collateral Account shall constitute part of the Mortgaged Property hereunder and shall not constitute payment of the Secured Obligations until applied as herein provided and shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided herein and in the Credit Agreement. The Security Trustee shall (i) automatically apply the relevant portion of the Adria Cash Collateral Amount to the relevant Collateral Account for application in accordance with Section 4.03(a) hereof and/or in accordance with Section 5.1(s) of the Credit Agreement, (ii) in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, apply the amounts held in the Cash Collateral Account, if applicable, (iii) in accordance with Section 2.10(a)(iii) hereof, apply the amounts held in the Cash Collateral Account to prepay in full the Adria Prepayment Amount and (iv) in accordance with Section 9.01 hereof, return the Adria Cash Collateral Amount to the relevant Mortgagor at such time as the Lien hereof is terminated.

(c)         Agreed Investments .  Each Mortgagor acknowledges that shares or investments in any Agreed Investments shall not be obligations of the Security Trustee, nor its Affiliates, except that any Agreed Investments that rely on the credit and backing of the Security Trustee and/or its Affiliates, as set forth in subsection (c) of the definition of Agreed Investments in the Credit Agreement, or other investment obligations of any kind of the Security Trustee and/or its Affiliates, regardless of whether such obligations are insured, shall be considered to be obligations of the Security Trustee or its Affiliates repayable according to the terms of such obligations. For avoidance of doubt any obligations that are obligations of the Security Trustee and/or its Affiliates shall be obligations of the Security Trustee and/or its Affiliates in their capacity as bank or trust companies that are members of the Federal Reserve System, and not obligations of the Security Trustee in its capacity as security trustee under the Operative Documents.

(d)         Control .  This Security Agreement is intended to be an authenticated record to establish control of each of the Collateral Accounts and the Cash Collateral Account within the meaning of Section 9-104(a)(2) of the UCC and is entered into to perfect the Security Trustee’s security interest in the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Section 9-314(a) of the UCC. Prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement, the relevant Mortgagor shall file such financing statements and other documents in such offices as the Security Trustee may reasonably request to perfect the security interests granted hereby. For purposes of Article 9 of the UCC and with respect to the Collateral Accounts and the Cash Collateral Account, the Security Trustee and the Mortgagor agree that the State of New York is the Security Trustee’s jurisdiction.

Section 2.04    Method of Payment .  The Original Amount of, interest and other amounts due under each Loan Certificate or hereunder will be payable in Dollars by wire transfer in federal or other immediately available funds, on the due date of payment to the Collateral Account with respect to the Loan related to such Loan Certificate for the Security Trustee’s distribution among the Secured Parties in the manner provided herein. The Mortgagee will pay or cause to be paid all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder and under such holder’s Loan Certificate or Loan Certificates to such holder or a nominee therefor (including all amounts distributed pursuant to Article III of this Security Agreement) by transferring, or causing to be transferred, by wire transfer in immediately available funds in Dollars, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date of payment, to an account maintained by such holder with a bank located in the continental United States the amount to be distributed to such holder, for credit to the account of such holder maintained at such bank. Any payment made hereunder shall be made without any presentment or surrender of any Loan Certificate. Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Loan Certificate, the Borrower party to such Loan Certificate and the Mortgagee shall deem and treat the person in whose name any Loan Certificate is registered on the Loan Certificate Register as the absolute owner and holder of such Loan Certificate for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Loan Certificate and for all other purposes, and none of the Borrowers or the Mortgagee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 2.05    Application of Payments .  In the case of each Loan Certificate, each payment of Original Amount and interest or other amounts due thereon shall be applied:

first , to the payment of Swap Breakage Loss, if any, LIBOR Breakage, if any, Liquidity Breakage, if any, and any other amount due under such Loan Certificate (other than amounts referred to below);

second , to the payment of accrued interest on the unpaid portion of the Original Amount of such Loan Certificate then due and owing (including any interest on any overdue portion of the Original Amount, and to the extent permitted by law, interest thereon at the Past Due Rate);

third, to the payment of the portion of the Original Amount of such Loan Certificate then due thereunder; and

fourth , if applicable pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.11, the balance, if any, remaining thereafter, to the payment of the Original Amount of such Loan Certificate remaining unpaid (provided that such Loan Certificate shall not be subject to prepayment except as provided in Section 2.10 and 2.11).

The amounts paid pursuant to clause “ fourth ” above shall be applied to the installments of Original Amount of such Loan Certificate in the inverse order of their maturity.

Section 2.06    Termination of Interest in Mortgaged Property .  Subject to Section 9.01, the Security Trustee shall not have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the Mortgaged Property when and if the Original Amount of and accrued interest on and other amounts then due under all Loan Certificates and all other sums then payable to the Security Trustee and each Participant and the Swap Counterparty hereunder and under the other Loan Operative Documents by the Borrower Parties, including without limitation, Swap Breakage Loss, LIBOR Breakage, Liquidity Breakage and amounts necessary to reimburse the Security Trustee and each Participant for payments made pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Credit Agreement (to the extent not previously reimbursed) shall have been indefeasibly paid in full (except for any obligations explicitly stated to survive such repayment and the termination of the Loan Operative Documents).

Section 2.07    Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Loan Certificates .

(a)        The Mortgagee shall keep, as agent for the Borrowers, a register (the “ Loan Certificate Register ”) in which the Mortgagee shall provide for the registration of Loan Certificates and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Loan Certificates. The Loan Certificate Register shall be kept at the Mortgagee’s Office, and the Mortgagee is hereby appointed “Loan Certificate Registrar” for the purpose of registering Loan Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Loan Certificates as herein provided. A holder of any Loan Certificate intending to transfer such Loan Certificate, shall surrender such Loan Certificate to the Mortgagee at the Mortgagee’s Office, together with a written request from the registered holder thereof (a copy of which shall be delivered concurrently to the Borrower party to such Loan Certificate) for the issuance of a new Loan Certificate, specifying the name and address of the new holder or holders. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Loan Certificate, the Borrower party to such Loan Certificate shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Loan Certificates on the same terms as the replaced Loan Certificate and in the then outstanding portion of the Original Amount of the Loan Certificate being transferred. At the option of any holder, Loan Certificates may be exchanged for other Loan Certificates of any authorized denominations of the same aggregate outstanding Original Amount as the Loan Certificates to be exchanged, and on the same terms as the Loan Certificate(s) to be exchanged, upon surrender of the Loan Certificates to be exchanged to the Mortgagee at the Mortgagee’s Office. Each new Loan Certificate issued upon transfer or exchange shall be in an Original Amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or, in either case, such lesser amount as shall constitute 100% of the outstanding principal amount of such transferred or exchanged Loan Certificate). Whenever any Loan Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Borrower party thereto shall execute and deliver the Loan Certificates which the holder making the exchange is entitled to receive pursuant to the terms hereof. All Loan Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Loan Certificates meeting the requirements of this Security Agreement shall be the valid obligations of the Borrower party thereto evidencing the same respective obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits under this Security Agreement, as the Loan Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Loan Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, shall (if so required by the Mortgagee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Mortgagee duly executed by the holder or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The Mortgagee shall make a notation on each new Loan Certificate of the amount of all payments of Original Amount previously made on the old Loan Certificate or Loan Certificates with respect to which such new Loan Certificate is issued and the date to which interest on such old Loan Certificate or Loan Certificates has been paid. Interest shall be deemed to have been paid on such new Loan Certificate to the date on which interest shall have been paid on such old Loan Certificate, and all payments and prepayments of the Original Amount of such old Loan Certificate shall be deemed to have been made thereon. The Mortgagee will promptly notify the Borrower party thereto of each registration of a transfer of a Loan Certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transfer of a Loan Certificate shall be made hereunder unless (i) the transfer meets the requirements of Section 7.4 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) the transferring holder shall give prior or contemporaneous notice to the Borrower party to such Loan Certificate of such transfer, which notice shall identify the proposed new holder and provide contact information for such holder, and the proposed new holder shall accept all the terms and conditions applicable to a Participant and holder of a Loan Certificate under the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Security Agreement, the Loan Certificates and the other Loan Operative Documents to and for the benefit of such Borrower.

Section 2.08    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Loan Certificates .  If any Loan Certificate shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Borrower party thereto shall, upon the written request of the holder of such Loan Certificate, execute and deliver in replacement thereof a new Loan Certificate, payable in the same outstanding Original Amount, dated the same date and captioned as issued in connection with the Aircraft related thereto. If the Loan Certificate being replaced has become mutilated, such Loan Certificate shall be surrendered to the Mortgagee and a photocopy thereof shall be furnished to the Borrower party thereto. If the Loan Certificate being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the holder of such Loan Certificate shall furnish to the Borrower party thereto and the Mortgagee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold such Borrower and the Mortgagee harmless in respect thereof and evidence satisfactory to such Borrower and the Mortgagee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Loan Certificate and of the ownership thereof.

Section 2.09    Payment of Expenses on Transfer .  Upon the issuance of a new Loan Certificate or Loan Certificates pursuant to Section 2.07 or 2.08 hereof, the Borrower party to such Loan Certificate or such Loan Certificates and/or the Mortgagee may require from the party requesting such new Loan Certificate or Loan Certificates payment of a sum to reimburse such Borrower and the Mortgagee for, or to provide funds for, the payment of any Tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith or any other charges and expenses paid or payable by such Borrower or the Mortgagee.

Section 2.13    Withholding Taxes; General Tax Indemnity .

(a)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Operative Document, each Mortgagor agrees that any payment made to or for the benefit of the Security Trustee, the Agent, any Participant or any other recipient hereunder (a “ Recipient ”) with respect to interest, principal, Swap Breakage Loss, LIBOR Breakage, Liquidity Breakage or other amounts payable on or with respect to the Credit Agreement, any Loan Certificate or this Security Agreement (it being understood, including amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof) shall be free of all withholdings or deductions (“ Withholding Taxes ”) except to the extent required by applicable law, and in the event that such Mortgagor or the Security Trustee shall be required by applicable law to make any such withholding or deduction for any such Withholding Taxes (i) such Mortgagor shall pay an additional amount so that after such Mortgagor having made all required withholdings or deductions for Withholding Taxes from such payment the Security Trustee, the Agent and such Participant each receives the same amount it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made (and if such Mortgagor is unable to pay such additional amount, such Mortgagor shall indemnify the Security Trustee, the Agent and such Participant on an after-Tax basis with respect to the same and upon written demand of the Security Trustee, the Agent or such Participant shall promptly pay such indemnity to the Security Trustee, the Agent or such Participant, as the case may be), (ii) such Mortgagor shall make all such withholdings or deductions, and (iii) such Mortgagor shall pay such amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law; provided, however, that such Mortgagor shall only have an obligation to pay an additional amount under this Section 2.13 for Withholding Taxes which are not Excluded Taxes.

(b)        Prior to making any claim for payment on any Mortgagor of any indemnity under this Section 2.13, the relevant Indemnitee shall notify such Mortgagor and request that such Mortgagor arrange to make a claim for payment of such amount upon any Lessee pursuant to any applicable Lease and shall promptly furnish a copy of any such claim to such Mortgagor. If following the making of such claim upon any Lessee, such Lessee either shall deny liability for such claim or shall not pay such claim for a period of ten Business Days following the date such claim for payment was made upon such Lessee, then the relevant Indemnitee shall be entitled to make a claim for payment on such Mortgagor hereunder and such Mortgagor shall be obligated to pay such claim within ten Business Days following the date such claim for payment was made upon such Mortgagor, provided that to the extent such Mortgagor has made such a payment to the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee subsequently receives a payment from such Lessee with respect to such Indemnitee’s claim, such Indemnitee will promptly pay the amount received from such Lessee to such Mortgagor. To the extent that a claim indemnified by any Mortgagor under this Section 2.13 is in fact paid in full by such Mortgagor, such Mortgagor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be subrogated to the rights and remedies of the relevant Indemnitee against any Lessee, provided, however, no such subrogation shall be permitted if it interferes with such Indemnitee’s ability to recover any amounts hereunder or under the other Operative Documents. Such Indemnitee agrees to take such reasonable actions as any Mortgagor may reasonably request to effect such subrogation (at the cost and expense of such Mortgagor).

(c)        Each Participant agrees to investigate alternatives for reducing or avoiding any Taxes indemnifiable pursuant to this Section 2.13 and to use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize, to the greatest extent possible, any liability with respect to such Taxes, including by designating a different existing lending office, if (in such Participant’s sole opinion) such efforts or designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such Taxes and would not, in the sole opinion of such Participant, result in any operational, economic, legal, or regulatory disadvantage to such Participant; provided , however , that this sentence shall not obligate any Participant to take any action that would, in its sole judgment, cause such Participant to incur any loss or cost or expense, unless, in the case of an economic disadvantage, any Mortgagor agrees to promptly reimburse such Participant therefor in manner satisfactory to the Participant (in such Participant’s sole opinion).

(d)        Each Mortgagor agrees to pay any present or future stamp, registration, recording or documentary Taxes or any other license, excise or property Taxes (i) imposed by any taxing authority which arise from the registration, filing, recording, or perfection of any security interest of or in connection with this Security Agreement or the Credit Agreement (other than any such Taxes attributed to a voluntary transfer of a Loan Certificate by a Participant, which Taxes would not have arisen had the transfer not occurred and the exclusion shall only apply in an amount equal to the increase (if any) by which the Taxes resulting from any such transfer exceed the amount to be compensated for had the transfer not occurred or (ii) imposed by any taxing authority in connection with an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing.

(e)        Each Mortgagor will pay to each Indemnitee interest at the Past Due Rate, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on any amount not paid when due under this Section 2.13 until the same shall be paid.

(f)           (i)        Each of the Security Trustee and each Participant shall deliver to each Borrower (and, in the case of each Participant, to the Security Trustee), on or before the Closing Date and thereafter upon written request a properly completed and executed and valid IRS Form W-8 BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8IMY, W-9 or other appropriate IRS form (including any other document or information required by applicable law or form instructions to be provided in connection with such form).

(ii)        If any IRS form (or any information or documentation provided in connection with any IRS form) delivered to the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.13(f) does not, on its face, allow each Mortgagor to determine its U.S. federal withholding tax obligations with respect to any payment to be made pursuant to the Operative Documents to or for the benefit of the Person to which that form, information or documentation relates, or if any Mortgagor knows or has reason to know that such form, information or documentation is incorrect, such Mortgagor shall promptly notify the relevant Person in writing and that Person shall provide to the Borrowers and the Security Trustee such additional IRS forms, information, certifications and documentation as may be necessary to allow each Mortgagor to determine its U.S. federal withholding tax obligations with respect to payments to or for the benefit of that Person under the Operative Documents, or as may be necessary to remedy any incorrect form previously provided to the Borrowers.

(iii)        If any IRS form delivered to the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.13(f) (or any information or documentation provided in connection with any such IRS form) expires or becomes obsolete or ceases to be valid or accurate, the Security Trustee or the relevant Participant, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Security Trustee (promptly after receipt of any Mortgagor’s written request if the IRS form or related information or documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid and promptly after becoming aware thereof if the IRS form or related information or documentation becomes inaccurate) a replacement IRS form (or applicable successor form) and any additional IRS form (in each case together with any information or documentation required by applicable law or form instructions to be provided in connection with such IRS form) to the extent it is legally eligible to do so.

(g)        Each Mortgagor hereby agrees to act as the U.S. withholding agent with respect to this Security Agreement and the Credit Agreement and to the extent required by applicable law to withhold from each payment due hereunder or under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Certificate U.S. federal withholding tax at the appropriate rate and, on a timely basis, to deposit such U.S. federal withholding tax with an authorized depository and make such returns, filings, and other reports in connection therewith, and in the manner required under applicable law. Each Mortgagor shall furnish no later than March 15 of each year to each Participant, that is not a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) an IRS Form 1042S (or applicable successor form),if applicable, indicating payment in full of any Taxes withheld from or with respect to any payments by such Mortgagor or the Security Trustee to such Participant together with all such other information and documents reasonably requested by such Person in writing and necessary or appropriate to enable such Person to substantiate a claim for credit or deduction with respect thereto for income tax purposes of any jurisdiction with respect to which such Person is required to file a tax return.

(h)        If a Participant receives a refund of any Withholding Taxes in respect of which additional amounts were paid by any Mortgagor pursuant to this Section 2.13, such Participant shall promptly pay to such Mortgagor the amount of such refund plus any interest received on such refund fairly attributable to such Tax and not in excess of amounts previously paid by such Mortgagor to the Participant pursuant to this Section 2.13 (other than interest actually received on such refund and fairly attributable to such Tax), provided, however, that such amount shall be reduced by the amount of any Unpaid Obligation then due and not made (and the amount of such reduction shall not be payable before such time and to the extent as such Unpaid Obligation shall have been satisfied); and, provided further; if at such time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Participant may defer payment of such amount (after the reduction for any Unpaid Obligations) to such Mortgagor until such time as no Event of Default exists. Any such refund which is subsequently disallowed in whole or in part shall to the extent disallowed be promptly repaid by the relevant Mortgagor on the written demand of the relevant Participant (accompanied by reasonable documentary evidence of the disallowance). In addition, notwithstanding anything that may be to the contrary in this Security Agreement or any other Operative Document, none of the Mortgagors or any other Person shall have any right to review any tax return, or books and records or workpapers relating to any tax return or financial statement or any other confidential documents or information of any Participant or other Indemnitee.

(i)        As a condition precedent to any performance by any Mortgagor in connection with any payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13, each transferee of a Participant claiming the benefit of such additional amount shall agree in writing with such Mortgagor to be bound by all the terms of this Section 2.13.

(j)        Each Mortgagor shall indemnify, on an after-Tax basis, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all Taxes imposed against any such Indemnitee, any Lessee, any Aircraft, any Airframe, any Engine or any Part thereof or any interest therein or use thereof, and any and all license, registration and recording fees and assessments, as well as Taxes arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement, any Lease and each other Operative Document, or based on or measured by, the payments of Rent and other amounts due hereunder, under any Lease or under any other Operative Document, the terms, covenants and conditions hereof and thereof, or the financing, mortgaging, use, operation, maintenance, possession, condition, control, occupancy, servicing, installation, transportation, storage, substitution, recording, documentation, import, export, rental, lease, location, repair, abandonment, replacement, delivery, registration, repossession, improvement, subleasing, manufacture, rental, settlement of any insurance claim, return or other disposition of any Aircraft, any Airframe, any Engine or any Part thereof or interest therein regardless of the method of calculation; provided, however, that no Mortgagor shall have any obligation to indemnify an Indemnitee for any or all of the following Taxes: (i) Taxes to the extent imposed as the result of activities of such Indemnitee in the jurisdiction imposing the Taxes if they are unrelated such Mortgagor’s dealings with any Lessee or the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement or any Lease or any other Operative Document or the operation of any Aircraft, any Airframe, any Engine or any Part thereof by any Lessee; (ii) Taxes imposed or calculated by reference to the net income, profits, or gains of such Indemnitee or any franchise, capital or net worth Taxes imposed on such Indemnitee by any taxing authority of a jurisdiction, in each case as a result of such Indemnitee being organized in such jurisdiction, or having its principal place of business in such jurisdiction, or (in the case of a Participant) having its lending office for the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents in such jurisdiction, or carrying on business in such jurisdiction (unless such Indemnitee would not be deemed to be carrying on such business in such jurisdiction but for (A) the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents or (B) the use, operation, presence or registration of any Aircraft, any Airframe, any Engine, or any Part in the jurisdiction or (C) the situs of organization, any place of business, or any activity of any Lessee or any person having use, possession, or custody of any Aircraft, any Airframe, any Engine, or any Part thereof in the jurisdiction); or (iii) Taxes imposed with respect to any period commencing or event occurring after the payment in full of the unpaid Original Amount of and interest on, all Unpaid Obligations, and all other amounts then due from such Mortgagor under any Loan Certificates and other Operative Documents, and unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement and the other Operative Documents, and unrelated to such Mortgagor’s dealings with any Lessee or any Lease; or (iv) Taxes imposed on or as a result of the voluntary or involuntary sale, transfer, assignment (whether legal or equitable) or other disposition (including a change in a Participant’s lending office, (other than a change effected pursuant to Section 2.13(c) or Section 2.14(c) hereof)) by such Indemnitee of any rights with respect to the Loan Certificates or the Operative Documents), but excluding any voluntary or involuntary sale, transfer, assignment (whether legal or equitable) or other disposition by such Indemnitee that arises as a result of an Event of Default or at the request of the Borrowers or in order to comply with any change in applicable law or treaty or other governmental requirement; or (v) Taxes imposed under FATCA.

(k)        For the purposes of this Section 2.13, the term “FATCA” means (i) Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code as of the date hereof, any current or future regulations or official written interpretations thereof and any written agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code; (ii) any treaty, law, regulation or official written guidance relating to an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and any other jurisdiction (and related legislation or official written administrative guidance), which (in each such case) implements Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code; or (iii) any agreement pursuant to the implementation of any authority described in clause (i) or (ii) immediately above with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. government or any governmental or taxing authority in any other jurisdiction.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Mortgagor by a Recipient (with a copy to the Security Trustee), or by the Security Trustee on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(m)          If:

(i)        any Mortgagor pays to any taxing authority pursuant to any provision of any Operative Document for the account of an Indemnitee any Tax for which such Mortgagor is not obliged to indemnify such Indemnitee under this Section 2.13, or

(ii)        any Mortgagor pays to an Indemnitee (or to the Security Trustee for the benefit of an Indemnitee) pursuant to any provision of any Operative Document an indemnity for any Tax for which such Mortgagor is not obliged to indemnify such Indemnitee under this Section 2.13, or

(iii)        any Mortgagor pays to or for the account of an Indemnitee an additional amount to compensate for any Withholding Tax for which such Mortgagor is not obliged to indemnify such Indemnitee under this Section 2.13,

(any payment described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) is called herein an “ Excluded Tax Payment ”), then the Indemnitee to or for whose account that Excluded Tax Payment was paid shall pay to such Mortgagor, within 30 days after receipt of such Mortgagor’s written request therefor (accompanied by a description in reasonable detail of the Excluded Tax Payment and, in the case of an Excluded Tax Payment described in clause (i) or (iii) above, a receipt or other document evidencing payment of the Excluded Tax Payment to the relevant taxing authority), the amount of that Excluded Tax Payment for application in accordance with Section 3.01 (Rent Payment Distribution) or 3.03 (Payments After Event of Default), whichever applies at the relevant time.

Section 2.14    Additional Costs .  (a) Subject to the requirements of clause (c) of this Section 2.14, each Mortgagor shall pay directly to each Participant from time to time such amounts (if any) as such Participant may determine to be necessary to compensate such Participant for any increase in costs that such Participant reasonably determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of its participation in the Loans or funding arrangements utilized in connection with such participations, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Participant hereunder in respect of any of such participations or such arrangements (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “ Additional Costs ”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change that:

(i)           imposes any tax that is the functional equivalent of any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement of the sort covered by clause (ii) below; or

(ii)        imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (including any Reserve Requirement) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Participant; or

(iii)         imposes any other condition affecting this Security Agreement or its participation in the Loans (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities);

provided that any Participant which acquires a Loan Certificate pursuant to Section 2.07 (a “ Transferee Participant ”) shall not be entitled to compensation for any Additional Costs in excess of the Additional Costs that would have been imposed on the Participant on the Closing Date under applicable law in effect on the Closing Date, except to the extent such transfer is effected (i) in connection with mitigation provisions, (ii) at the request of the Borrowers or (iii) in order to comply with any change in law or governmental requirement.

(b)        Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14 (but without duplication), and subject to the requirements of clause (c) of this Section 2.14, each Mortgagor shall pay directly to each Participant from time to time on request such amounts (if any) as such Participant may determine to be necessary to compensate such Participant (or, without duplication, the holding company of which such Participant is a subsidiary) for any increase in actual costs that it determines are attributable to the maintenance by such Participant (or such Participant’s lending office or such holding company), pursuant to any law or regulation or any interpretation, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful so long as compliance therewith is standard banking practice in the relevant jurisdiction) of any court or governmental or monetary authority following any Regulatory Change of capital or liquidity requirements in respect of its participation in the Loan Certificates or funding arrangements utilized in connection with such participation; such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of such Participant (or any lending office or such bank holding company) could have achieved but for such law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request; provided that no Transferee Participant shall be entitled to compensation for any such additional costs or reduction of rate of return on assets or equity attributable to compliance with capital adequacy or liquidity requirements in excess of those that would have applied to the Participant on the Closing Date under applicable law in effect on the Closing Date; except to the extent such transfer is effected (i) in connection with mitigation provisions, (ii) at the request of the Borrower or (iii) in order to comply with any change in law or governmental requirement.

(c)        Each Participant shall notify the Borrowers of any event occurring after the date of this Security Agreement entitling such Participant to compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.14 as promptly as practicable, but in any event within ten days, after such Participant obtains Actual Knowledge thereof; provided that each Participant will use commercially reasonable efforts (at Borrowers’ expense) to mitigate the amount of the additional costs associated with such event, including designating a different lending office for its participation in the Loan if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Participant, result in any economic, operational legal or regulatory disadvantage to such Participant. Each Participant will furnish to the Borrowers a written confirmation of such additional costs, which will set forth in reasonable detail (i) the events giving rise to such additional costs, (ii) the basis for determining and allocating such additional costs and (iii) the amount of each request by such Participant for compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.14 (subject, however, to any limitations such Participant may require in respect of disclosure of confidential information relating to its capital structure), together with a statement that the determinations and allocations made in respect of the additional costs comply with the provisions of this Section 2.14, including as provided in the last proviso of this paragraph (c). Determinations and allocations by any Participant for purposes of this Section 2.14 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.14, or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.14, on its costs or rate of return of maintaining its participation in the Loans or its funding thereof, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of its participation, and of the amounts required to compensate such Participant under this Section 2.14, shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable and non-discriminatory basis and, in the case of allocations, are made fairly.

Section 4.03    Cure Rights; Remarketing Period .

(a)           Certain Cure Rights .     (i) With respect to a Republic Aircraft or an Air Nostrum Aircraft, if an Event of Default occurs as a result of any default by the relevant Lessee in the payment when due of any installment of Rent due under the relevant Lease, the relevant Borrower may, within ten Business Days after the occurrence of such Event of Default without the consent or concurrence of any Participant, the Agent or the Security Trustee, pay, as provided in Section 2.04, for application in accordance with Section 3.01 a sum equal to the amount of all (but not less than all) such overdue Rent under such Lease (but only to the extent of the component thereof relating to debt service, including interest payments, on the relevant Loan). With respect to the Adria Aircraft, if an Event of Default occurs as a result of any default by the relevant Lessee in the payment when due of any installment of Rent due under the relevant Lease and if such Lessee itself shall have theretofore failed to pay Basic Rent in the manner required by such Lease (after giving effect to any applicable grace period), the Security Trustee shall promptly transfer from the Cash Collateral Account to the relevant Collateral Account and apply in accordance with Section 3.01 an amount of the Adria Cash Collateral Amount equal to the amount of all (but not less than all) such overdue Rent under such Lease (but only to the extent of the component thereof relating to debt service, including interest payments, on the relevant Loan). If an Event of Default occurs as a result of any default by a Lessee in any obligation under the Lease other than the payment of Rent, if such Event of Default can be remedied by the payment of money, the relevant Borrower may, within three Business Days after the date of occurrence of the such Event of Default, without the consent or concurrence of any Participant, the Agent or the Security Trustee, perform such obligation on behalf of such Lessee and shall furnish all funds necessary for remedying such Event of Default. Solely for the purpose of determining whether there exists an Event of Default (a) any timely payment by the relevant Borrower pursuant to, and in compliance with, the first and second sentences of this Section 4.03(a) shall be deemed to remedy (but solely for purposes of this Security Agreement) any Event of Default that is a result of a default by such Lessee in the payment of installments of Rent theretofore due and payable under such Lease and to remedy (but solely for purposes of this Security Agreement) any default by such Borrower in the payment of any amount of principal due and payable under the related Loan and (b) any timely performance by such Borrower of any obligation of such Lessee under such Lease pursuant to, and in compliance with, the third sentence of this Section 4.03 shall be deemed to remedy (but solely for purposes of this Security Agreement) any Event of Default to the same extent that like performance by such Lessee itself would have remedied such Event of Default (but no such remedy shall relieve such Lessee of its duty to pay all Rent and perform all of its obligations pursuant to such Lease). If, on the basis specified in the preceding sentence, any Event of Default shall have been remedied for the purposes of this Security Agreement, then any declaration pursuant to this Security Agreement that the Loans are due and payable or that an Event of Default exists hereunder, based solely upon such Event of Default, shall be deemed to be rescinded, and the relevant Borrower shall (to the extent of any such payments made by it) be subrogated to the rights of the Participants under Section 3.01 to receive from the Security Trustee such payment of overdue Rent (and the payment of interest on account of such Rent being overdue) and shall be entitled, so long as no other Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, to receive, subject to the provisions of this Security Agreement, such payment upon receipt thereof by the Security Trustee; provided that such Borrower shall not otherwise attempt to recover any such amount paid by it on behalf of such Lessee pursuant to this Section 4.03 except by demanding of such Lessee payment of such amount or by commencing an action at law against such Lessee for the payment of such amount (or act in any pending action adverse to such Lessee); provided , further, that at no time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing shall any such demand be made or shall any such action be commenced (or continued), and any amounts nevertheless received by the relevant Borrower in respect thereof shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and promptly paid to, the Security Trustee for distribution as provided in Section 3.03 (or Section 3.04 with respect to indemnity payments); and further provided that, in respect of an Air Nostrum Aircraft and a Republic Aircraft, this Section 4.03(a) shall not apply with respect to any Event of Default that is a result of a default by the relevant Lessee in the payment of Basic Rent under the relevant Lease if such Lessee itself shall have theretofore failed to pay Basic Rent in the manner required by such Lease (after giving effect to any applicable grace period) on each of the two Payment Dates immediately preceding the date of such default or a total of four Payment Dates; and

(ii)        No Borrower shall have the right to cure any Event of Default arising by reason of a Lease Event of Default except as specified in this Section 4.03(a).

(b)           Certain Remarketing Rights.

(i)        If a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under any Lease and the relevant Borrower shall have made the election provided in the following paragraph (ii), and so long as (A) no other Event of Default (not the result of a Lease Event of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) such Borrower duly and punctually performs its obligations under this Section 4.03(b) and (C) the Remarketing Period has not expired or otherwise terminated as provided below, no Lease Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred and be continuing for purposes of any Loan Operative Document.

(ii)        (A) So long as no Event of Default (other than a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing and (B) if the relevant Borrower or Lessor issues a termination notice under any Lease in respect of a Lease Event of Default not arising due to an Event of Loss (“ Lease Termination Notice ”), which Lease Termination Notice shall be issued with the consent of the Security Trustee (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the relevant Borrower may elect to have a remarketing period for a period not to exceed 180 days (the “ Remarketing Period ”) in respect of the Aircraft related to such Lease Termination Notice (the “ Subject Aircraft ”) by giving written notice thereof to the Security Trustee and the Agent promptly following and, in any case, within ten Business Days of the issuance of the relevant Lease Termination Notice; provided that (i) the consent of the Security Trustee shall not be required for the relevant Borrower or Lessor, as the case may be, to issue a Lease Termination Notice if a Material Lease Breach has occurred under the relevant Lease, (ii) the relevant Remarketing Period shall commence on the date the relevant Lease is actually terminated pursuant to the terms of the Lease Termination Notice (which shall specify a date for the termination of such Lease), (iii) no Remarketing Period may end later than the Maturity Date in respect of the Loan related to the Subject Aircraft and (iv) such Remarketing Period shall terminate if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default occurring under Section 4.02(a)). The remarketing services shall be performed by the relevant Remarketing Agent. The costs of all remarketing services hereunder during the Remarketing Period shall be borne by the relevant Borrower.

(iv)        The Remarketing Period Conditions shall be performed by or on behalf of the relevant Borrower in a manner consistent with the standards of a reputable, internationally recognized aircraft lessor.

(v)        During (i) the period commencing on the issuance of a Lease Termination Notice and terminating on the commencement of the relevant Remarketing Period and (ii) the relevant Remarketing Period, the relevant Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all installments of principal of and interest on the Loan with respect to any Subject Aircraft as and when due.

(vi)        The Security Trustee may, by written notice to the relevant Borrower, terminate the Remarketing Period upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (A) if an Event of Default (other than a Lease Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing; (B) if such Borrower fails to take commercially reasonably steps to repossess the Subject Aircraft in accordance with clause (iii)(A) above and such failure continues for 10 Business Days after such Borrower’s receipt of written notice of such failure from the Security Trustee; or (C) if such Borrower fails to comply in any material respect with any of the other Remarketing Period Conditions and (other than in respect of insurance) such failure continues for ten Business Days after such Borrower’s receipt of written notice of such failure from the Security Trustee.

(vii)        The relevant Borrower may not sell, re-lease or otherwise dispose of the Subject Aircraft during the Remarketing Period without the prior written consent of the Security Trustee (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed but subject always to the approval of each Participant’s credit committee); provided that, such Borrower shall be entitled to sell such Subject Aircraft without the Security Trustee’s consent if the net sale price received by the Security Trustee in any disposition (together with any additional funds provided by such Mortgagor or the Remarketing Agent, if any, at their sole option, and without any obligation to provide such funds) equals or exceeds the Secured Obligations associated with the Loan made for such Aircraft (including associated Swap Obligations) and any other amounts owing (whether or not then due and payable) to the Participants, the Agent and the Security Trustee under the Credit Agreement, the Loan Certificates and the other Loan Operative Documents; provided further that upon a successful sale, re-lease or other disposition of such Subject Aircraft, (A) the Remarketing Period shall expire on the date of such sale, re-lease or other disposition, (B) no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to occur as a result of such sale, release or other disposition, (C) conforming amendments shall be made to the Loan Operative Documents solely so as to reference the new lease (and its relevant defined terms), sale or other disposition rather than the Lease that was terminated and (D) such Borrower shall pay, unless such Borrower, Security Trustee and Agent have agreed otherwise in writing (such agreement to be provided, in each case, in the absolute discretion of the Security Trustee and the Agent) in connection with a re-lease of such Subject Aircraft, all amounts due and owing under 4.03(b)(iii).

(c)        If the relevant Borrower fails to sell or lease the Subject Aircraft by the expiration of the Remarketing Period, such Borrower shall, within three Business Days of receipt by such Borrower of notice of such requirement from the Security Trustee, pay all amounts then due and payable to the Participants and the Security Trustee under the Credit Agreement, the Loan Certificates and the other Loan Operative Documents with respect to the Loan related to the Subject Aircraft, including Swap Breakage Loss, LIBOR Breakage and Liquidity Breakage.

Without limiting any of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Mortgagee may exercise any right of sale of any Aircraft available to it, even though it shall not have taken possession of such Aircraft and shall not have possession thereof at the time of such sale.

(b)        If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case the Mortgagee may (and shall, upon receipt of a written demand therefor from the Required Participants) at any time, by delivery of written notice or notices to the Borrowers, declare all the Loan Certificates to be due and payable, whereupon (i) the unpaid Original Amount of all Loan Certificates then outstanding, together with (ii) accrued but unpaid interest thereon (iii) all unpaid Swap Obligations and (iv) any other amounts due thereunder or hereunder (the “ Unpaid Obligations ”), together with Liquidity Breakage, LIBOR Breakage and Swap Breakage Loss, if any, shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived; provided, that the Loan Certificates will automatically become immediately due and payable without any action of the Mortgagee or the Participants and without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived in the case of an Event of Default under Section 4.02(g).

All expenses of obtaining such judgment or of pursuing, searching for and taking such property shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Security Agreement.

(b)        Upon every such taking of possession, the Mortgagee may, from time to time, at the expense of the Mortgaged Property, make all such reasonable expenditures for maintenance, use, operation, preservation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, modifications or alterations to and of the Mortgaged Property, as it may deem proper. In each such case, the Mortgagee shall have the right to maintain, use, operate, preserve, store, insure, lease, control, manage, dispose of, modify or alter the Mortgaged Property and to carry on the business and to exercise all rights and powers of any Mortgagor relating to the Mortgaged Property, as the Mortgagee shall deem best, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, operation, preservation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, modification or alteration of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof as the Mortgagee may reasonably determine, and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents (including Rent), revenues, issues, income, products and profits of the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof, except Excluded Payments, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Mortgagee under any provision of this Security Agreement to collect and receive all cash held by, or required to be deposited with, the Mortgagee hereunder.

No delay or omission by the Mortgagee in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of any Mortgagor or any Lessee or to be an acquiescence therein.

Section 4.07    Discontinuance of Proceedings .  In case the Mortgagee shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this 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 the Mortgagee, then and in every such case each Mortgagor, the Mortgagee and each Lessee shall, subject to any determination in such proceedings, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been instituted.

Section 4.08    Waiver of Past Defaults .  The Mortgagee may waive any past default hereunder and its consequences and upon any such waiver such default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of all Loan Operative Documents, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided, that in the absence of written instructions from all the Participants, the Mortgagee shall not waive any default (i) in the payment of the unpaid Original Amount, interest, Liquidity Breakage, LIBOR Breakage, Swap Breakage Loss and other amounts due under any Loan Certificate then outstanding, or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Article VIII hereof, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Secured Party.

Section 4.09    Appointment of Receiver .  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing the Mortgagee shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver (who may be the Mortgagee or any successor or nominee thereof) for all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Mortgaged Property or the taking of possession thereof or otherwise, and each Mortgagor hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose any such appointment. Any receiver appointed for all or any part of the Mortgaged Property shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and powers of the Mortgagee with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

Section 4.10    Mortgagee Authorized to Execute Bills of Sale, etc.    Each Mortgagor irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name and stead and on its behalf for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery for the enforcement of the lien of this Security Agreement, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale, assignments and other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution, each Mortgagor hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any substitute shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Mortgagee or any purchaser, each Mortgagor shall ratify and confirm any such sale, assignment, transfer or delivery, by executing and delivering to the Mortgagee or such purchaser all bills of sale, assignments, releases and other proper instruments to effect such ratification and confirmation as may be designated in any such request.

Section 4.11    Slovenian Mortgage .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the Slovenian Mortgage or in the other Loan Operative Documents, the Adria Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) as a result of requirements of Slovenian law, Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, New York Branch, as mortgagee (the “ Slovenian Mortgagee ”) is acting as the mortgagee under the Slovenian Mortgage in lieu of the Security Trustee and (ii) the rights and remedies in favor of the Slovenian Mortgagee under the Slovenian Mortgage, and the method pursuant to which the Slovenian Mortgagee may enforce such rights and remedies as set forth in the Slovenian Mortgage, does not cut across, conflict with or detract from any of the rights and remedies in favor of the Security Trustee in respect of the Adria Aircraft set forth herein or in the other Loan Operative Documents (other than the Slovenian Mortgage).
