Determinations and allocations by any Loan Participant for purposes of this Section 5.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5.01, or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 5.01, on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its obligation to make Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the amounts required to compensate such Loan Participant under this Section 5.01, shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis.

Any such prepayment of principal on a Loan shall be accompanied by (x) interest on the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment plus (y) the Breakage Loss, if any (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Prepayment Fee shall be payable); or
Credit Agreement [Allegiant/A319 2019]
(ii) the Borrower may identify to such Loan Participant a Person willing to purchase all or any part of such Loan(s) held by it and such Loan Participant shall, subject to such Person satisfying such Loan Participant’s “know your customer” requirements, assign or partially assign such Loan(s) to such Person at the principal balance plus accrued interest, the amount of the Breakage Loss, if any, incurred by such Loan Participant (in respect of which such purchase shall be treated as a prepayment but no Prepayment Fee shall be payable), together with all other amounts due and payable to such Loan Participant.

(ii) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the conditions precedent specified in Section 7 to be satisfied) to borrow a Loan from such Loan Participant on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant Notice of Borrowing given pursuant to Section 2.02 (unless, in accordance with Section 2.02(b), the proceeds for such borrowing are applied to the related Drawing);
an amount equal to the Breakage Loss, if any, incurred by such Loan Participant.
5.03 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder to the Loan Participants, the Agent or the Security Trustee, under the Notes and each other Basic Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03) the Security Trustee, the Agent and each Loan Participant (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall, or shall cause the Security Trustee to, make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall, or shall cause the Security Trustee to, pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
(b) (1) In addition, the Borrower shall, or shall cause the Security Trustee to, pay any Indemnified Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and shall indemnify the Security Trustee, the Agent and each Loan Participant (and any affiliated, consolidated or combined group of which any Loan Participant is a member if such group is treated as a single taxpayer for purposes of the subject Tax) on an After-Tax
Credit Agreement [Allegiant/A319 2019]
Basis within ten Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Security Trustee, the Agent or such Loan Participant, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.03) and, other than any of the following to the extent (but only to the extent) resulting from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Security Trustee, the Agent or such Loan Participant or (ii) the failure of the Security Trustee, the Agent or such Loan Participant to provide to the Borrower any information requested by the Borrower in writing that is reasonably available to it and not otherwise reasonably available to the Borrower and is necessary for the Borrower to file any required Tax return or report, any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes are correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Determinations and calculations made by a Loan Participant with respect to an indemnity due hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that such determinations and calculations are made on a reasonable basis.
(i) The Borrower shall also pay Other Taxes to the relevant Government Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and shall indemnify the Security Trustee, the Agent and each Loan Participant, and any consolidated or continued group of which the Security Trustee, the Agent or any Loan Participant is a member if such group is treated as a single taxpayer for purposes of the subject Tax, on an After-Tax Basis within ten Business Days after written demand therefor.
(c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall, or shall cause the Security Trustee to, deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

In addition, any Loan Participant, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Security Trustee in writing, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Security Trustee in writing as will enable the Borrower or the Security Trustee to determine whether or not such Loan Participant is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.03(d)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Loan Participant’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Loan
Credit Agreement [Allegiant/A319 2019]
Participant to any unreimbursed cost or expense or would prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Loan Participant.
(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A) any Loan Participant that is a U.S. Person shall, if required by Applicable Law to avoid U.S. federal backup withholding tax, deliver to the Borrower and the Security Trustee (with a copy to the Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Loan Participant becomes a Loan Participant under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of the Borrower or the Security Trustee), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Loan Participant is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Loan Participant that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Security Trustee (with a copy to the Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Loan Participant becomes a Loan Participant under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of the Borrower or the Security Trustee), whichever of the following is applicable:

iv) to the extent a Loan Participant is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, as the case may be, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Loan Participant is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Loan Participant are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Loan Participant may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Loan Participant that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Security Trustee (with a copy to the Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Loan Participant becomes a Loan Participant under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of the Borrower or the Security Trustee), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Security Trustee to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Loan Participant under any Basic Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Loan Participant were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Loan Participant shall deliver to the Borrower and the Security Trustee (with a copy to the Agent) at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Security Trustee in writing such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Security Trustee in writing as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Security Trustee to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Loan Participant has complied with such Loan Participant’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Loan Participant agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or
Credit Agreement [Allegiant/A319 2019]
certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Security Trustee in writing (with a copy to the Agent) of its legal inability to do so.
(e) If the Borrower becomes obligated to pay any Indemnified Taxes pursuant to this Section 5.03, each Loan Participant and the Agent hereby agrees to cooperate with the Borrower, at the cost and expense of the Borrower, to avoid the imposition of such Tax, including, without limitation, by designating a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Loan Participant incurring such Tax or otherwise restructuring the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents, provided that such designation or restructuring will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Loan Participant, be disadvantageous to such Loan Participant. In addition, if the Borrower becomes obligated to pay an Indemnified Tax to a Loan Participant pursuant to this Section 5.03: the Borrower shall be entitled to prepay the Loan(s) of the affected Loan Participant, in full or in part. Any such prepayment of principal on such Loan(s) shall be accompanied by (x) interest on the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment plus (y) Breakage Loss, if any (for the avoidance of doubt, no Prepayment Fee shall be payable).
(f) (A) Provided neither a Material Default nor an Event of Default exists, if the Security Trustee, the Agent or a Loan Participant, as the case may be, receives a refund of any withholding Taxes or Other Taxes in respect of which additional amounts were paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.03, the Security Trustee, the Agent or such Loan Participant, as the case may be, shall promptly pay to the Borrower 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 the Borrower to the Security Trustee, the Agent or such Loan Participant pursuant to this Section 5.03 (other than interest actually received on such refund and fairly attributable to such Tax). The Security Trustee, the Agent and each Loan Participant shall in good faith use diligence in filing its tax returns and in dealing with taxing authorities to seek and claim any such refund and to minimize the Taxes payable or indemnifiable by the Borrower hereunder if it can do so, in its sole opinion, without adverse consequences. (B) Provided neither a Material Default nor an Event of Default exists, if the Security Trustee, the Agent or a Loan Participant, as the case may be, actually utilizes any credit with respect to any withholding Taxes or Other Taxes in respect of which additional amounts were paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.03, the Security Trustee, the Agent or such Loan Participant, as the case may be, shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to the amount of such credit, but not in excess of amounts previously paid by the Borrower to the Security Trustee, the Agent or such Loan Participant, provided, however, that no Person shall be required to claim any credit if to do so would, in its sole opinion, result in any adverse consequences to it, and provided further that no Person shall be required to claim any credit in respect of this Section 5.03 in priority of any other credits (any utilization of such credit being in such Person’s sole discretion). Any refund or credit not paid by the Security Trustee, the Agent or a Loan Participant, as the case may be, because a Material Default or Event of Default exists, shall be held by such Person and may be applied by such Person to reduce the amount of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement then due and not made, and the amount held by such Person in excess of the amount of any such reduction (if any) shall be paid to the Borrower when such Material Default and/or Event of Default shall have been cured.
Credit Agreement [Allegiant/A319 2019]
(g) Each Loan Participant hereby agrees to reimburse the Borrower or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, for any Taxes collected by way of withholding which the Borrower or the Security Trustee fails to withhold on payments to such Loan Participant as a direct result of the failure of such Loan Participant to provide the form or certificate required to be provided by such Loan Participant by clause (d) hereof or the invalidity of any such form or certificate required to be provided by such Loan Participant by clause (d) hereof.

The parties hereto agree that all such amounts shall, while any amount is expressed to be payable or owing by the Borrower hereunder to the Loan Participants, be paid as aforesaid and shall, once paid to the Collection Account, be applied by the Security Trustee as set forth in the Mortgage.

Except for action expressly required of the Security Trustee and the Agent hereunder and under the other Basic Documents, the Security Trustee and the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Loan Participants of their indemnification obligations under Section 11.05 hereof against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

part of the 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 the Mortgagor contained in the foregoing paragraphs.

Section 2.05. Other Payments.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.03 or 2.04, any payments received by the Mortgagee for which no provision as to the application thereof is made in a Lease, the Credit Agreement, elsewhere in this Mortgage or in any other Basic Document shall be distributed to the extent received or realized at any time after payment in full of all Obligations due the Loan Participants, in the following order of priority:

(a) The Mortgagee hereby establishes a cash collateral account, being bank maintained at Bank of Utah (the “Collection Account”) in the name of and under the control of
Credit Agreement [Allegiant/A319 2019]
the Mortgagee into which there shall be deposited, at the direction of the Mortgagee, from time to time the Collections upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. The balance from time to time in the Collection Account shall constitute part of the Collateral hereunder and shall not constitute payment of the Obligations until applied as herein provided. The balance from time to time in the Collection Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided herein. Subject to Sections 3.02 and 4.01(e) below, the Mortgagor shall have the right to receive all rents (including Rent), all amounts payable to the “Lessor” under the relevant Lease, and payments included in Excluded Payments, if any, under the relevant Lease.
(b) Any monies held in the Collection Account shall, until paid to the Mortgagor or otherwise applied in accordance with the terms hereof or the terms of the other Basic Documents, be invested by the Mortgagee as the Mortgagor may from time to time direct in writing (or orally and confirmed in writing) (it being understood that absent such a direction, there shall be no obligation to invest such monies) in Permitted Investments. There shall be promptly remitted to the Collection Account any gain (including interest received) realized as a result of any such investment (net or any, fees, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such investment), which gain shall be paid monthly by the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor shall be responsible for any net loss realized as a result of any such investment and shall reimburse the Mortgagee for such loss on demand.
Section 2.08. Securities Accounts. The Mortgagor agrees to take any action necessary, at the direction of the Mortgagee, to enable the Mortgagee to obtain “control” (within the meaning of the applicable UCC) to the extent required to “perfect” within the meaning of the UCC, the Mortgagee’s security interest in the Collection Account. The Mortgagor shall take all actions necessary or reasonably requested by the Mortgagee to enable the Mortgagee at all times to maintain “control” (within the meaning of the applicable UCC) to the extent required to “perfect” within the meaning of the UCC, the Mortgagee’s security interest in the Collection Account. Bank of Utah will maintain, to the extent required to “perfect” within the meaning of the UCC, the Mortgagee’s security interest in the Collection Account as a “securities account” as such term is defined in Section 8-501(a) of the New York UCC. Bank of Utah waives any claim or lien against the Collection Account it may have, by operation of law or otherwise, for any amount owed to it by the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor acknowledges that, by reason of the Mortgagee being the “entitlement holder” in respect of the Collection Account as provided above, the Mortgagee shall have the sole right and discretion, subject always to the terms of this Agreement, to give all “entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) with respect to the Collection Account and any and all financial assets and other property credited thereto to the exclusion of the Mortgagor.
Article III
REMEDIES
Section 3.01. Remedies.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and so long as the same shall continue unremedied, then, and in every such case, the Mortgagee may at the
Credit Agreement [Allegiant/A319 2019]
instruction of the Required Loan Participants exercise any or all of the rights and powers and pursue any and all of the remedies pursuant to this Article III or any other Security Document (to the extent provided therein) and shall have and may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and, to the extent applicable, the Cape Town Convention, whether or not a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, terminate the Lease and may exercise any and all of the remedies pursuant to the relevant Lease, and may take possession of all or any part of the properties covered or intended to be covered by the lien and security interest created hereby or pursuant hereto and may exclude the Mortgagor and the Lessee and all persons claiming under any of them wholly or partly therefrom. Without limiting any of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Mortgagee may exercise any right of sale of the Aircraft available to it, even though it shall not have taken possession of the Aircraft and shall not have possession thereof at the time of such sale.
(b) The Loan Participants shall be entitled, at any sale pursuant to this Article III, to credit against any purchase price bid at such sale all or any part of the unpaid obligations owing to such Persons and secured by the lien of this Mortgage to the extent such sums would be paid in cash to such Persons under Section 2.03 hereof. In connection with any such sale, the Mortgagee agrees to provide Mortgagor and the Agent with at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice of such sale, which notice shall, for the purposes of the UCC in effect in any applicable jurisdiction, be deemed to be commercially reasonable.
Section 3.02. Taking Possession of Aircraft, Etc.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Mortgagee is otherwise entitled to exercise remedies pursuant to the terms of Section 3.01 hereof, at the request of the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor agrees that it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Mortgagee such instruments of title and other documents as the Mortgagee may deem necessary or advisable to enable the Mortgagee or an agent or representative designated by the Mortgagee, at such time or times and place or places as the Mortgagee may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to which the Mortgagee shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If the Mortgagor shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee may:
(i) obtain a judgment conferring on the Mortgagee the right to immediate possession and requiring the Mortgagor to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to the Mortgagee, to the entry of which judgment the Mortgagor hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent permitted by law; and
(ii) pursue all or part of such Collateral wherever it may be found (subject to the rights of the Lessee with respect to any Aircraft) and, in the event that a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, may (subject to the terms of the relevant Lease and applicable law) enter any of the premises of Lessee wherever such Collateral may be or be supposed to be and search for such Collateral and take possession of and remove such Collateral.
Credit Agreement [Allegiant/A319 2019]
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 Mortgage.
(b) Upon every such taking of possession, the Mortgagee may at the instruction of the Required Loan Participants, from time to time, at the expense of the Collateral, make all such expenditures for maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, modifications or alterations to and of the Collateral, as it may deem proper. In each such case, the Mortgagee shall have the right to maintain, use, operate, store, insure, lease, control, manage, dispose of, modify or alter the Collateral and to carry on the business and to exercise all rights and powers of the Mortgagor relating to the Collateral, as the Mortgagee shall deem best, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, modification or alteration of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Mortgagee may 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 Collateral and every part thereof, except Excluded Payments, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Mortgagee under any provision of this Mortgage to collect and receive all cash held by, or required to be deposited with, the Mortgagee hereunder. Such tolls, rents (including Rent), revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of the maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, improvement, modification or alteration of the Collateral and of conducting the business thereof, and to make all payments which the Mortgagee may be required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance or other proper charges upon the Collateral or any part thereof (including the employment of engineers and accountants to examine, inspect and make reports upon the properties and books and records of the Mortgagor), and all other payments which the Mortgagee may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Mortgage, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of all persons properly engaged and employed by the Mortgagee with respect thereto.
Section 3.03. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy given to the Mortgagee specifically or otherwise in this Mortgage shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by 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 the Mortgagor or Lessee or to be an acquiescence therein.
Section 3.04. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Mortgagee shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in every such
Credit Agreement [Allegiant/A319 2019]
case the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee and Lessees shall, subject to any determination in such proceedings, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been instituted.
Section 3.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Mortgagee may at the instruction of the Required Loan Participants 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 this Mortgage, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 3.06. Appointment of Receiver. 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 Collateral, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or the taking of possession thereof or otherwise, and the 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 Collateral shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and powers of the Mortgagee with respect to the Collateral.
Section 3.07. Mortgagee Authorized to Execute Bills of Sale, Etc. The Mortgagor irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Mortgagor in its name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery permitted hereby for the enforcement of the lien of this Mortgage, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale, assignments and other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution, the 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, the 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.

LESSEE CONSENT (MSN)
June __, 2019
From: (i) Sunrise Asset Management, LLC (the “Lessor”)
(ii) Bank of Utah (“Security Trustee”)
To: Allegiant Air, LLC (the “Lessee”)
Re: One Airbus A319-100 aircraft bearing manufacturer’s serial number ____
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We refer to the common terms agreement described on the attached Schedule 1 (as hereafter supplemented, amended and assigned, the “Lease”) between the Lessor and the Lessee relating to the Aircraft described in Schedule 1 (the “Aircraft”) and all other agreements (including the Aircraft Specific Lease Agreement) entered into in connection with, or relating to, the Lease (collectively, the “Assigned Lease Documents”). Each capitalized term used but not defined in this Lessee Consent shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Lease.
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, you agree with us as follows:
Section 1.General.
1.01 The Lessor hereby notifies the Lessee that the Lessor and the Security Trustee for the Loan Participants (defined below) under the Credit Agreement [Allegiant/A319 2019], dated as of June 24, 2019 (as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Sunrise Asset Management, LLC, as borrower, the financial institutions party thereto as loan participants (the “Loan Participants”), Bank of Utah, as agent (the “Agent”) and the Security Trustee are entering into a Mortgage and Security Agreement [Allegiant/A319 2019] dated as of June 24, 2019 (as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time, the “Mortgage”). The Lessor hereby notifies the Lessee that pursuant to the Mortgage, the Lessor has, among other things, (i) assigned and encumbered to the Security Trustee, as security for the obligations described in the Mortgage, all of its right, title and interest in and to (a) the Assigned Lease Documents and all other agreements (including any side letters, guarantees or option agreements) entered into in connection with, or relating to, the Assigned Lease Documents (collectively, the “Security Assignment Documents”) and (b) all insurance
Credit Agreement [Allegiant/A319 2019]
proceeds related thereto, if any (collectively, the “Related Pledged Assets”) and (ii) mortgaged to the Security Trustee all of its right, title and interest in the Aircraft. Subject to the provisions of such assignment, if an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing under the Credit Agreement, the Security Trustee may, to the exclusion of the Lessor, exercise all rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Lessor under the Assigned Lease Documents; however, the Lessee shall conclusively rely on notices and instructions received from the Lessor unless and until the Security Trustee provides a Relevant Notice (as defined below) to the Lessee. The Lessee hereby acknowledges and consents to the security interest in all of the Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the Assigned Lease Documents, the other Security Assignment Documents and the Related Pledged Assets and the Aircraft, which is created by the Mortgage (including Section 4.04 thereof). The Lessee agrees that neither the Security Trustee, the Secured Parties (as defined in the Mortgage) nor their respective successors or assigns shall be liable for any obligations or duties of the “Lessor” under the Assigned Lease Documents or any other document by its execution of this Lessee Consent or the Mortgage, nor shall the assignment of the Assigned Lease Documents, the other Security Assignment Documents or the Related Pledged Assets to the Security Trustee pursuant to the Mortgage give rise to any duties or obligations on the part of the Security Trustee, the Secured Parties (as defined in the Mortgage) or their respective successors or assigns owing to the Lessee, except as expressly contemplated in this Lessee Consent. Notwithstanding the assignment of its interest in the Lease to the Security Trustee pursuant to the Mortgage, each of the Lessor and the Lessee, as applicable, agrees that each of Lessor and Lessee shall at all times remain obligated to perform all its respective obligations under the Lease.
1.02 If the Security Trustee delivers a written notice (a “Relevant Notice”) to the Lessee that an Event of Default under the Mortgage has occurred and is continuing, then the Lessee shall thereafter perform, observe and comply with all of the terms of the Lease and the other Assigned Lease Documents for the benefit of the Security Trustee as if the Security Trustee were named in place of the Lessor in the Assigned Lease Documents, and the Lessee is entitled to rely on the Relevant Notice (whether or not such Relevant Notice is validly given) and required thenceforth to disregard any instructions to the contrary that the Lessee might receive from the Lessor. After the Security Trustee delivers any Relevant Notice, the Lessee shall not recognize the exercise by the Lessor of any of the rights and powers of the Lessor under the Assigned Lease Documents unless and until requested to do so in writing by the Security Trustee. The Lessee shall have no liability to the Lessor for complying with any instruction or direction received from the Security Trustee after Receipt of a Relevant Notice.
1.03 Unless and until the Lessee receives a Relevant Notice from the Security Trustee, but subject to Section 4.04 of the Mortgage, the Lessee shall deal exclusively with, and to rely upon notices and other communications that it receives from the Lessor as owner of the Aircraft and “lessor” under the Lease,
Credit Agreement [Allegiant/A319 2019]
including, but not limited to, any consent, approval, release or waiver given by the Lessor under the Lease and any agreement by the Lessor to amend or modify any of the terms of the Lease. Subject to no Event of Default having occurred and being continuing, the Lessee shall make all payments of Rent and Maintenance Reserves, if any, to the Lessor.
Section 2. Lease; Representations. The Lessee represents and warrants for the benefit of the Security Trustee that, on the date hereof:
2.01 Except as reflected on Schedule 1, the Lease is unmodified and is in full force and effect.
2.02 Lease Rent under the Lease is set forth in each respective ASLA (as specified in Schedule 1).
2.03 There are not, to the Lessee’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the Lessor under the Lease and the Lessee has no claims against the Lessor by reason of the condition of the Aircraft as of the Delivery Date or arising subsequent thereto to the date hereof.
2.04 The Lessee represents and warrants that the Lessee has the power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Lessee Consent, and all necessary corporate, shareholder and other action has been taken to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Lessee Consent. This Lessee Consent is the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Lessee, enforceable against the Lessee in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that such enforcement may be limited by moratorium, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization and other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors or by general principles of equity.
2.05 All of the representations and warranties of the Lessee set forth in Section 2.1 of the Lease are true and correct as of the date hereof.
Section 3. The Lease; Agreements. The Lessee agrees with the Security Trustee:
3.01 [****]
3.02 (i) To name the Security Trustee as the sole loss payee in respect of the hull insurances maintained for the Aircraft under the Assigned Lease Documents; provided that, so long as no Specified Default or Event of Default as defined in the Assigned Lease Documents and no Material Default or Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case, exists and is continuing, (A) in the event of a payment of insurance proceeds of not more than the Loss Proceeds Threshold defined in the relevant Assigned Lease Documents, the Lessee may be paid such proceeds directly and in accordance with the terms of Schedule 6 of the Lease and (B) if insurance proceeds are in excess of the Loss Proceeds Threshold
Credit Agreement [Allegiant/A319 2019]
defined in the relevant Assigned Lease Documents, all such proceeds shall be paid in accordance with Schedule 6 of the Lease; provided, further however, if the Security Trustee is entitled to hold any insurance proceeds otherwise payable to Lessee (or a repairer) under the Lease due to the occurrence and continuance of a Specified Default or Event of Default under the relevant Assigned Lease Documents or due to the occurrence and continuance of a Material Default or Event of Default under the Mortgage, as applicable, then the Security Trustee shall hold such payment or collateral to secure, as applicable, Lessee’s obligations under the Lease and/or Lessor’s obligation under the Mortgage and such amounts (1) if all existing and continuing Specified Defaults and Events of Default under the Lease and Material Defaults and Events of Default under the Mortgage, as applicable, are cured, the Security Trustee then shall make the relevant insurance proceeds payment to Lessee and (2) if not cured, the Security Trustee can apply such proceeds to the Lessee’s obligations, (ii) to reflect the name of the Lessor, the Security Trustee, the Agent and the Loan Participants as additional insureds under the liability insurances maintained under the Lease, (iii) to name each of the Mortgage, the Credit Agreement referred to in Section 1.01 and related agreements, as additional contracts to which the parties thereto shall be included as additional insureds until such contracts are terminated and (iv) to furnish to each of the Security Trustee and the Lessor with certificates of insurance reflecting such revisions. Subject to Section 9.6 of the Lease, the Lessee agrees not to remove the Security Trustee, the Agent or any Loan Participant as a contract party, additional insured or loss payee under the insurance and reinsurance required to be maintained under Section 9 of the Lease without the written consent of the Security Trustee.
3.03 This Lessee Consent is a “Basic Document” under, and as defined, in the Lease.
3.04 The Agent, the Security Trustee and each Loan Participant shall be “Financing Parties”, “Indemnitees” and “Tax Indemnitees” under (and as defined in) the Lease and shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded a “Financing Party” and/or an “Indemnitee” and/or a “Tax Indemnitees” under the Lease subject to the limitations contained therein.

Credit Agreement [Allegiant/A319 2019]
exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. No waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and no notice to or demand on the Guarantors or the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Guarantors or the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute the waiver of the rights of the Agent, the Security Trustee or any Loan Participant to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Each Guarantor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against another party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(e) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (d) of this Section 4. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(f) EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

To the extent permitted by
Credit Agreement [Allegiant/A319 2019]
applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives any provision of law which would render any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
(h) No amendment, modification, waiver, termination or discharge of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by the Guarantors therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing specifically identifying this Agreement and the provision intended to be amended, modified, waived, terminated or discharged and is signed by each of the Agent (the Agent being duly authorized to bind the Security Trustee and Loan Participants thereto, evidence of which to be supplied by the Agent upon any such execution by the Agent) and the Guarantors, and each such amendment, modification, waiver, termination or discharge shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No provision of this Agreement shall be varied, contradicted or explained by any oral agreement, course of dealing or performance or any other matter not set forth in an agreement in writing and signed by the Agent and the Guarantors.
(i) This Agreement shall be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent, on behalf of the Loan Participants and the Security Trustee, and be enforceable by the Agent and its successors and assigns; provided that, the Guarantors shall not assign any of their obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent. This Agreement shall not be deemed to create any right in any Person or entity nor be construed in any respect to be a contract in whole or in part for the benefit of any Person or entity except as provided herein.

Section 6. No Set-Off. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by the existence of any claim, set-off, defense, or other right that each Guarantor may have at any time and from time to time against the Agent, the Security Trustee, the Loan Participants or any other Person or entity, whether in connection herewith or with any related or unrelated transaction.
