Owner is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature and extent of the business conducted by it, or the ownership of its properties, requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not give rise to a Material Adverse Change to Owner.

Owner has taken, or caused to be taken, all necessary corporate action (including, without limitation, the obtaining of any consent or approval of members required by its Certificate of Formation or LLC Agreement) to authorize the execution and delivery of each of the Operative Agreements to which it is party, and the performance of its obligations thereunder.

(c)            No Violation. The execution and delivery by Owner of the Operative Agreements to which it is party, the performance by Owner of its obligations thereunder and the consummation by Owner on the Effective Date of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not and will not (a) violate any provision of the Certificate of Formation or LLC Agreement of Owner, (b) violate any Law applicable to or binding on Owner or (c) violate or constitute any default under (other than any violation or default that would not result in a Material Adverse Change to Owner), or result in the creation of any Lien (other than as permitted under the Trust Indenture) upon the Aircraft being financed under, any indenture, mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of trust, conditional sales contract, lease, loan or other material agreement, instrument or document to which Owner is a party or by which Owner or any of its properties is bound.

(d)           Approvals. The execution and delivery by Owner of the Operative Agreements to which Owner is a party, the performance by Owner of its obligations thereunder and the consummation by Owner on the Effective Date of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not require the consent or approval of, or the giving of notice to, or the registration with, or the recording or filing of any documents with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, (a) any trustee or other holder of any Debt of Owner and (b) any Government Entity, other than (x) the filings, registrations and recordations referred to in Section 4.2.1(f) and (y) filings, recordings, notices or other ministerial actions pursuant to any routine recording, contractual or regulatory requirements applicable to it.

(e)           Valid and Binding Agreements.

Participation Agreement

Participation Agreement

(c)           In no event shall any Indemnitee enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any Expense without the prior written consent of Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Expense under this Section 7.1.

(f)            Nothing contained in this Section 7.1.5 shall be deemed to require an Indemnitee to contest any Expense or to assume responsibility for or control of any judicial proceeding with respect thereto.

7.1.6        Information. Owner will provide the relevant Indemnitee with such information not within the control of such Indemnitee, as is in Owner’s control or is reasonably available to Owner, which such Indemnitee may reasonably request and will otherwise cooperate with such Indemnitee so as to enable such Indemnitee to fulfill its obligations under Section 7.1.5. The Indemnitee shall supply Owner with such information not within the control of Owner, as is in such Indemnitee’s control or is reasonably available to such Indemnitee, which Owner may reasonably request to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by Section 7.1.5.

7.1.7        Effect of Other Indemnities; Subrogation; Further Assurances. Upon the payment in full by Owner of any indemnity provided for under this Agreement, Owner, without any further action and to the full extent permitted by Law, will be subrogated to all rights and remedies of the person indemnified (other than with respect to any of such Indemnitee’s insurance policies or in connection with any indemnity claim such Indemnitee may have under Section 6.03 or 8.01 of the Trust Indenture) in respect of the matter as to which such indemnity was paid. Each Indemnitee will give such further assurances or agreements and cooperate with Owner to permit Owner to pursue such claims, if any, to the extent reasonably requested by Owner and at Owner’s expense.

7.1.8        Refunds. If an Indemnitee receives any refund, in whole or in part, with respect to any Expense paid by Owner hereunder, it will promptly pay the amount refunded (but not an amount in excess of the amount Owner or any of its insurers has paid in respect of such Expense) over to Owner unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case such amounts shall be paid over to Mortgagee to hold as security for Owner’s obligations under the Operative Agreements or, if requested by Owner, applied to satisfy such obligations.

7.2.1        Invoices and Payment.

7.2.2        Payment of Other Expenses. Owner shall pay (i) the ongoing fees and expenses of Mortgagee, (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by Mortgagee or any Note Holder attributable to any waiver, amendment or modification of any Operative Agreement to the extent requested by Owner and (iii) (a) to the Class A-1 Trust, for the account of the Lenders, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lenders (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Lenders), in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement and the other Operative Agreements, or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated) and (b) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Lender or Delta (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Lender or Delta), in connection with any Event of Default and any related enforcement or protection of its rights (I) in connection with the Loan Agreement and the other Operative Agreements, including its rights under this Section, or (II) in connection with the Loans made under the Loan Agreement, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(c)           Each Tax Indemnitee shall provide Owner with such certifications, information and documentation as shall be in such Tax Indemnitee’s possession and as shall be reasonably requested by Owner to minimize any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 7.3; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Tax Indemnitee shall be required to provide Owner with any Tax returns.

(d)           Each Tax Indemnitee shall promptly forward to Owner any written notice, bill or advice received by it from any Taxing Authority concerning any Tax for which it seeks indemnification under this Section 7.3. Owner shall pay any amount for which it is liable pursuant to this Section 7.3 directly to the appropriate Taxing Authority if legally permissible or upon demand of a Tax Indemnitee, to such Tax Indemnitee within 30 days of such demand (or, if a contest occurs in accordance with Section 7.3.4, within 30 days after a Final Determination (as defined below)), but in no event more than one Business Day prior to the date the Tax to which such amount payable hereunder relates is due. If requested by a Tax Indemnitee in writing, Owner shall furnish to the appropriate Tax Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt for Owner’s payment of any Tax paid by Owner or such other evidence of payment of such Tax as is acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee. Owner shall also furnish promptly upon written request such data as any Tax Indemnitee may reasonably require to enable such Tax Indemnitee to comply with the requirements of any taxing jurisdiction unless such data is not reasonably available to Owner or, unless such data is specifically requested by a Taxing Authority, is not customarily furnished by domestic air carriers under similar circumstances. For purposes of this Section 7.3, a “Final Determination” shall mean (i) a decision, judgment, decree or other order by any court of competent jurisdiction that occurs pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.3.4, which decision, judgment, decree or other order has become final and unappealable, (ii) a closing agreement or settlement agreement entered into in accordance with Section 7.3.4 that has become binding and is not subject to further review or appeal (absent fraud, misrepresentation, etc.), or (iii) the termination of administrative proceedings and the expiration of the time for instituting a claim in a court proceeding.

Participation Agreement

(e)           If any Tax Indemnitee shall actually realize a tax savings by reason of any Tax paid or indemnified by Owner pursuant to this Section 7.3 (whether such tax savings shall be by means of a foreign tax credit, depreciation or cost recovery deduction or otherwise) and such savings is not otherwise taken into account in computing such payment or indemnity such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Owner an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such tax savings, plus any additional tax savings recognized as the result of any payment made pursuant to this sentence, when, as, if, and to the extent, realized or (ii) the amount of all payments pursuant to this Section 7.3 by Owner to such Tax Indemnitee (less any payments previously made by such Tax Indemnitee to Owner pursuant to this Section 7.3.3(e)) (and the excess, if any, of the amount described in clause (i) over the amount described in clause (ii) shall be carried forward and applied to reduce pro tanto any subsequent obligations of Owner to make payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 7.3); provided, that such Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to make any payment pursuant to this sentence so long as an Indenture Event of Default of a monetary nature has occurred and is continuing. If a tax benefit is later disallowed or denied, the disallowance or denial shall be treated as a Tax indemnifiable under Section 7.3.1 without regard to the provisions of Section 7.3.2 (other than Section 7.3.2(f)). Each such Tax Indemnitee shall in good faith use reasonable efforts in filing its tax returns and in dealing with Taxing Authorities to seek and claim any such tax benefit.

7.3.4        Contest.

(a)            If a written claim is made against a Tax Indemnitee for Taxes with respect to which Owner could be liable for payment or indemnity hereunder, or if a Tax Indemnitee makes a determination that a Tax is due for which Owner could have an indemnity obligation hereunder, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly give Owner notice in writing of such claim (provided, that failure to so notify Owner shall not relieve Owner of its indemnity obligations hereunder unless such failure to notify effectively forecloses Owner’s rights to require a contest of such claim) and shall take no action with respect to such claim without the prior written consent of Owner for 30 days following the receipt of such notice by Owner; provided, that, in the case of a claim made against a Tax Indemnitee, if such Tax Indemnitee shall be required by law to take action prior to the end of such 30-day period, such Tax Indemnitee shall, in such notice to Owner, so inform Owner, and such Tax Indemnitee shall take no action for as long as it is legally able to do so (it being understood that a Tax Indemnitee shall be entitled to pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund prior to the end of such 30-day period if (i)(A) the failure to so pay the Tax would result in substantial penalties (unless immediately reimbursed by Owner) and the act of paying the Tax would not materially prejudice the right to contest or (B) the failure to so pay would result in criminal penalties and (ii) such Tax Indemnitee shall take any action so required in connection with so paying the Tax in a manner that is the least prejudicial to the pursuit of the contest). In addition, such Tax Indemnitee shall (provided, that Owner shall have agreed to keep such information confidential other than to the extent necessary in order to contest the claim) furnish Owner with copies of any requests for information from any Taxing Authority relating to such Taxes with respect to which Owner may be required to indemnify hereunder. If requested by Owner in writing within 30 days after its receipt of such notice, such Tax Indemnitee shall, at the expense of Owner (including, without limitation, all reasonable costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements), in good faith contest (or, if permitted by applicable law, allow Owner to contest) through appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes by (I) resisting payment thereof, (II) not paying the same except under protest if protest is necessary and proper or (III) if the payment is made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in an appropriate administrative and/or judicial proceeding. If requested to do so by Owner, the Tax Indemnitee shall appeal any adverse administrative or judicial decision, except that the Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to pursue any appeals to the United States Supreme Court. If and to the extent the Tax Indemnitee is able to separate the contested issue or issues from other issues arising in the same administrative or judicial proceeding that are unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements without, in the good faith judgment of such Tax Indemnitee, adversely affecting such Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall permit Owner to control the conduct of any such proceeding and shall provide to Owner (at Owner’s cost and expense) with such information or data that is in such Tax Indemnitee’s control or possession that is reasonably necessary to conduct such contest. In the case of a contest controlled by a Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall consult with Owner in good faith regarding the manner of contesting such claim and shall keep Owner reasonably informed regarding the progress of such contest. A Tax Indemnitee shall not fail to take any action expressly required by this Section 7.3.4 (including, without limitation, any action regarding any appeal of an adverse determination with respect to any claim) or settle or compromise any claim without the prior written consent of the Owner (except as contemplated by Section 7.3.4(b) or (c)).

Participation Agreement

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Tax Indemnitee be required to pursue any contest (or to permit Owner to pursue any contest) unless (i) Owner shall have agreed to pay such Tax Indemnitee on demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Tax Indemnitee in connection with contesting such Taxes, including, without limitation, all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements, (ii) if such contest shall involve the payment of the claim, Owner shall advance the amount thereof (to the extent indemnified hereunder) plus interest, penalties and additions to tax with respect thereto that are required to be paid prior to the commencement of such contest on an interest-free after-Tax basis to such Tax Indemnitee (and such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Owner any net realized tax benefits resulting from such advance including any tax benefits resulting from making such payment), (iii) such Tax Indemnitee shall have reasonably determined that the action to be taken will not result in any material risk of forfeiture, sale or loss of any Aircraft (unless Owner shall have made provisions to protect the interests of any such Tax Indemnitee in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee) (provided, that such Tax Indemnitee agrees to notify Owner in writing promptly after it becomes aware of any such risk), (iv) no Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing unless Owner has provided security for its obligations hereunder by advancing to such Tax Indemnitee before proceeding or continuing with such contest, the amount of the Tax being contested, plus any interest and penalties and an amount estimated in good faith by such Tax Indemnitee for expenses, and (v) prior to commencing any judicial action controlled by Owner, Owner shall have acknowledged its liability for such claim hereunder, provided that Owner shall not be bound by its acknowledgment if the Final Determination articulates conclusions of law and fact that demonstrate that Owner has no liability for the contested amounts hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Tax Indemnitee shall release, waive, compromise or settle any claim which may be indemnifiable by Owner pursuant to this Section 7.3 without the written permission of Owner, Owner’s obligation to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee with respect to such claim (and all directly related claims and claims based on the outcome of such claim) shall terminate, subject to Section 7.3.4(c), and subject to Section 7.3.4(c), such Tax Indemnitee shall repay to Owner any amount previously paid or advanced to such Tax Indemnitee with respect to such claim, plus interest at the rate that would have been payable by the relevant Taxing Authority with respect to a refund of such Tax.

Participation Agreement

(c)            Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.3, a Tax Indemnitee will not be required to contest the imposition of any Tax and shall be permitted to settle or compromise any claim without Owner’s consent if such Tax Indemnitee (i) shall waive its right to indemnity under this Section 7.3 with respect to such Tax (and any directly related claim and any claim the outcome of which is determined based upon the outcome of such claim), (ii) shall pay to Owner any amount previously paid or advanced by Owner pursuant to this Section 7.3 with respect to such Tax, plus interest at the rate that would have been payable by the relevant Taxing Authority with respect to a refund of such Tax, and (iii) shall agree to discuss with Owner the views or positions of any relevant Taxing Authority with respect to the imposition of such Tax.

7.3.5        Refund. If any Tax Indemnitee shall receive a refund of, or be entitled to a credit against other liability for, all or any part of any Taxes paid, reimbursed or advanced by Owner, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Owner within 30 days of such receipt an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of such refund or credit plus any net tax benefit (taking into account any Taxes incurred by such Tax Indemnitee by reason of the receipt of such refund or realization of such credit) actually realized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of any payment by such Tax Indemnitee made pursuant to this sentence (including this clause (a)) and (b) such tax payment, reimbursement or advance by Owner to such Tax Indemnitee theretofore made pursuant to this Section 7.3 (and the excess, if any, of the amount described in clause (a) over the amount described in clause (b) shall be carried forward and applied to reduce pro tanto any subsequent obligation of Owner to make payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 7.3). If, in addition to such refund or credit, such Tax Indemnitee shall receive (or be credited with) an amount representing interest on the amount of such refund or credit, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Owner within 30 days of such receipt or realization of such credit that proportion of such interest that shall be fairly attributable to Taxes paid, reimbursed or advanced by Owner prior to the receipt of such refund or realization of such credit.

Participation Agreement

7.3.6        Tax Filing. If any report, return or statement is required to be filed with respect to any Tax which is subject to indemnification under this Section 7.3, Owner shall timely file the same (except for any such report, return or statement which a Tax Indemnitee has timely notified the Owner in writing that such Tax Indemnitee intends to file, or for which such Tax Indemnitee is required by law to file, in its own name); provided, that the relevant Tax Indemnitee shall furnish Owner with any information in such Tax Indemnitee’s possession or control that is reasonably necessary to file any such return, report or statement and is reasonably requested in writing by Owner (it being understood that the Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to furnish copies of its actual tax returns, although it may be required to furnish relevant information contained therein). Owner shall either file such report, return or statement and send a copy of such report, return or statement to such Tax Indemnitee, or, where Owner is not permitted to file such report, return or statement, it shall notify such Tax Indemnitee of such requirement and prepare and deliver such report, return or statement to such Tax Indemnitee in a manner satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee within a reasonable time prior to the time such report, return or statement is to be filed.

7.3.7        Forms. Each Tax Indemnitee agrees to furnish from time to time to Owner or Mortgagee or to such other person as Owner or Mortgagee may designate, at Owner’s or Mortgagee’s request, such duly executed and properly completed forms as may be necessary or appropriate in order to claim any reduction of or exemption from any withholding or other Tax imposed by any Taxing Authority, if (x) such reduction or exemption is available to such Tax Indemnitee and (y) Owner has provided such Tax Indemnitee with any information necessary to complete such form not otherwise reasonably available to such Tax Indemnitee.

7.3.8        Non-Parties. If a Tax Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, Owner may require the Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to Owner, to the terms of this Section 7.3 and Section 11.8 prior to making any payment to such Tax Indemnitee under this Section 7.3.

7.3.9        Subrogation. Upon payment of any Tax by Owner pursuant to this Section 7.3 to or on behalf of a Tax Indemnitee, Owner, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any claims that such Tax Indemnitee may have relating thereto. Such Tax Indemnitee shall cooperate with Owner (to the extent such cooperation does not result in any unreimbursed cost, expense or liability to such Tax Indemnitee) to permit Owner to pursue such claims.

7.4            Payments. Any payments made pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.3 shall be due on the 60th day after demand therefor and shall be made directly to the relevant Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or to Owner, in immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as specified by such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or Owner, as the case may be, in written directives to the payor, or, if no such direction shall have been given, by check of the payor payable to the order of, and mailed to, such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or Owner, as the case may be, by certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address as set forth in this Agreement.

7.5            Interest. If any amount, payable by Owner, any Indemnitee or any Tax Indemnitee under Section 7.1 or 7.3 is not paid when due, the person obligated to make such payment shall pay on demand, to the extent permitted by Law, to the person entitled thereto, interest on any such amount for the period from and including the due date for such amount to but excluding the date the same is paid, at the Payment Due Rate. Such interest shall be paid in the same manner as the unpaid amount in respect of which such interest is due.

Participation Agreement

7.6            Benefit of Indemnities. The obligations of Owner in respect of all indemnities, obligations, adjustments and payments in Section 7.1 or 7.3 are expressly made for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee entitled thereto, notwithstanding any provision of the Trust Indenture.

8.1            Note Holders. Subject to Section 5.3.2 hereof and Section 2.07 of the Trust Indenture, any Note Holder may, at any time and from time to time, Transfer or grant participations in all or any portion of the Equipment Notes and/or all or any portion of its beneficial interest in its Equipment Notes to any person (it being understood that the sale or issuance of the Trust Obligations by an Applicable Trustee shall not be considered a Transfer or participation); provided, that any participant in any such participations shall not have any direct rights under the Operative Agreements or any Lien on all or any part of any Aircraft or any other Collateral and Owner shall not have any increased liability or obligations as a result of any such participation; and, provided further, that any Transfer or participation to a Prohibited Transferee (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) or an Affiliate of a Prohibited Transferee by a Note Holder shall require the prior written consent of the Owner and Delta (and any attempted Transfer or participation by a Note Holder to a Prohibited Transferee or an Affiliate of a Prohibited Transferee without such consent shall be null and void) unless (i) such Transfer or participation is contemplated pursuant to an exercise of remedies in accordance with Article V of the Trust Indenture while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) Delta is in breach of the Delta Credit Support Agreement. In the case of any such Transfer, the Transferee, by acceptance of Equipment Notes in connection with such Transfer, shall be deemed to be bound by (i) all of the covenants of Note Holders contained in the Operative Agreements and (ii) certain terms of the Intercreditor Agreement as specified in such Equipment Notes and/or Section 2.07 of the Trust Indenture.

If any provision hereof shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, then, to the extent permitted by Law, (a) all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and (b) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. If, however, any Law pursuant to which such provisions are held invalid, illegal or unenforceable may be waived, such Law is hereby waived by the parties hereto to the full extent permitted, to the end that this Agreement shall be deemed to be a valid and binding agreement in all respects, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Participation Agreement

11.5          Counterparts.

No failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise, and no delay by any party hereto in exercising, any of its respective rights, powers, remedies or privileges under this Agreement or provided at Law, in equity or otherwise shall impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right, power, remedy or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any breach hereof or default hereunder or as an acquiescence therein nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof by it or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege by it. No notice to or demand on any party hereto in any case shall, unless otherwise required under this Agreement, entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any party hereto to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Unless otherwise expressly permitted by the terms hereof, all notices, requests, demands, authorizations, directions, consents, waivers and other communications required or permitted to be made, given, furnished or filed hereunder shall be in writing (it being understood that the specification of a writing in certain instances and not in others does not imply an intention that a writing is not required as to the latter), shall refer specifically to this Agreement or other applicable Operative Agreement, and shall be personally delivered, sent by facsimile or telecommunication transmission (which in either case provides written confirmation to the sender of its delivery), sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or sent by overnight courier service, in each case to the respective address, or facsimile number set forth for such party in Schedule 1, or to such other address, facsimile or other number as each party hereto may hereafter specify by notice to the other parties hereto.
