The Company will timely transmit copies of the Prospectus to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act. (e) The Company shall furnish to each Underwriter a copy of each free writing prospectus relating to the offering of the Class B Certificates prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company and shall not use or refer to any proposed free writing prospectus to which the Representative reasonably objects.

(g) The Company shall, in cooperation with the Underwriters, endeavor to arrange for the qualification of the Class B Certificates for offer and sale under the applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Representative reasonably designates and will endeavor to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of such Class B Certificates; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities, (ii) file a general consent to service of process or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction. (h) During the period of ten years after the Closing Date, the Company will promptly furnish to each Underwriter, upon request, copies of all Annual Reports on Form 10-K and any definitive proxy statement of the Company (including any successor by merger of the Company) filed with the Commission; provided that (a) filing such documents with the Commission or (b) providing a website address at which such Annual Reports and any such definitive proxy statements may be accessed will satisfy this clause (h). (i) If the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement occurs before all the Class B Certificates have been sold by the Underwriters, then prior to the third anniversary, the Company shall file a new shelf registration statement and take any other action necessary to permit the public offering of the Class B Certificates to continue without interruption, in which case references herein to the Registration Statement shall include the new registration statement as it shall become effective. (j) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, offer, sell or enter into any agreement to sell (as public debt securities registered under the Securities Act (other than the Class B Certificates and related Series B Equipment Notes, a junior class of pass through certificates with respect to a previously issued series and related equipment notes or up to three classes of pass through certificates for a newly-issued series and related equipment notes) or as debt securities which may be resold in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 144A thereunder and which are marketed through the use of a disclosure document containing substantially the same information as a prospectus for similar debt securities registered under the Securities Act), any equipment notes, pass through certificates, equipment trust certificates or equipment purchase certificates secured by aircraft owned by the Company (or rights relating thereto). (k) The Company shall prepare a final term sheet relating to the offering of the Class B Certificates, containing only information that describes the final terms of the Class B Certificates or the offering in a form consented to by the Representative and shall file such final term sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) under the Securities Act following the date the final terms have been established for the offering of the Class B Certificates.
