(1) cause Borrower, upon the written demand of Security Agent, at Borrower’s expense, to deliver promptly, and Borrower shall deliver promptly, all or such part of the Airframe or any Engine (together with all Aircraft Documents and other documents at any time required to be maintained with respect to the Airframe or Engine (or part thereof), in accordance with the rules and regulations of the FAA or other Aviation Authority if the Aircraft to which the Airframe or Engine relates is registered under the laws of a country other than the United States) as Security Agent may so demand to Security Agent or its order, or Security Agent, at its option, may enter upon the premises where all or any part of the Airframe or any Engine or the related Aircraft Documents are located and take immediate possession of and remove the same together with any engine which is not an Engine but which is installed on the Airframe, subject to all of the rights of the owner, lessor, lienor or secured party of such engine; provided that the Airframe with an engine (which is not an Engine) installed thereon may be flown or returned only to a location within the continental United States, and such engine shall be held for the account of any such owner, lessor, lienor or secured party or, if such engine is owned by Borrower, may at the option of Security Agent and if agreed by Borrower be exchanged with Borrower for an Engine in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.4;
(2) sell all or any part of the Airframe and any Engine at public or private sale, whether or not Security Agent shall at the time have possession thereof, as Security Agent may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any part of the Airframe or such Engine as Security Agent, in its sole discretion, but in accordance with applicable Law, may determine, all free and clear of any rights or claims of Borrower, and the proceeds of such sale or disposition shall be applied in the order of priorities set forth in Section 3; and/or
(3) exercise any other remedy of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought) and other applicable Laws applicable to this Mortgage or to any Permitted Lease pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Security Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by Law referred to below) to or upon Borrower or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Security Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Security Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by Law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Borrower, which right or equity of redemption is hereby waived and released. At any public or private sale the Lenders shall be entitled to credit against the purchase price bid at such sale all or any part of the unpaid amounts of Equipment Notes or other Secured Obligations.

To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Security Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations. Upon every taking of possession of Collateral under this Section 5.2, Security Agent shall, acting at the written direction of a Majority in Interest of Lenders, from time to time, at the expense of the Collateral (and such expense shall be due and payable by Borrower), make all such expenditures for maintenance, repairs, replacements, and modifications to and of the Collateral, and such improvements to and insurance of the Collateral, as it may reasonably deem proper. In each such case, Security Agent shall have the right to maintain, use, operate, store, lease, control or manage the Collateral and to exercise all rights and powers of Borrower relating to the Collateral in connection therewith, as Security Agent shall deem best, acting at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, insurance, use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as Security Agent may, acting at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders, reasonably determine; and Security Agent shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits of the Collateral and every part thereof. Such tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be applied by Security Agent, acting at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders, to pay any of the expenses of use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral, and of any or all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments which Security Agent may be required or may elect, acting at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders, to make, if any, for Taxes, insurance or other proper charges assessed against or otherwise imposed upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and all other payments which Security Agent may be required or expressly authorized to make under any provision of this Mortgage, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Security Agent and all other amounts owing to Security Agent under Section 7, and shall otherwise be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 3. In addition, Borrower shall be liable, without duplication of any amounts payable hereunder or under any other Operative Agreement, for all reasonable legal fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of Security Agent’s remedies with respect thereto, including all costs and expenses specified in the preceding paragraph incurred in connection with the retaking, return or sale of the Airframe and any Engine in accordance with the terms hereof or under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, which amounts shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Mortgage. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Equipment Notes shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 5.2(c), at the request of Security Agent, acting at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to Security Agent such instruments of title and other documents as Security Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enable Security Agent or an agent or representative designated by Security Agent, at such time or times and place or places as Security Agent may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to which Security Agent shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If Borrower shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by Security Agent, Security Agent, acting at the written direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders, may obtain a judgment conferring on Security Agent the right to immediate possession and requiring Borrower to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to Security Agent, to the entry of which judgment Borrower hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so. Nothing in the foregoing shall affect the right of any Lender to receive all amounts owing to such Lender as and when the same may be due.
