of the Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof) for the
account of or subject to further and/or future direction from
such Customer, or (ii) if such Account otherwise does not
represent a final sale, or (iii) such goods have been
repossessed, unless, in the case of each of (i), (ii) or (iii),
such goods are subject to a xxxx and hold letter in form and
substance satisfactory to the Lender; (k) the amount of all

the Lender, in its sole discretion, to the extent that the
amount of such Account exceeds such limit; (l) such Customer has
commenced or has had commenced against it a case under any
federal, state or other bankruptcy or insolvency laws, as now
constituted or hereafter amended, or made an assignment for the

amended, or if any other petition or other application for

good and saleable condition and which is not, in the Lender's
sole opinion, obsolete, damaged, slow moving or unmerchantable

Eligible Inventory based upon such considerations as the Lender
may from time to time deem appropriate, including, without
limitation, the Borrower's compliance in all material respects
with Environmental Laws and other Requirements of Law and the
waiver by landlords of any leased property on which Inventory is
located of any landlord's liens thereon. In general, unless
otherwise determined by the Lender as aforesaid, Inventory shall

Section 7.3. "Eligible Lease Payment Receivables": all Lease
Payment Receivables of the Borrower which the Lender, in its
sole discretion, shall deem to be an Eligible Lease Payment

time to time deem appropriate. Without in any way limiting the
generality of the foregoing, (i) in general, unless otherwise
determined by the Lender as aforesaid, a Lease Payment
Receivable shall not constitute an Eligible Lease Payment
Receivable unless it is subject to a perfected first priority
Lien in favor of the Lender, and is free and clear of all Liens
other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.3, and (ii) no

to Section 2.5) shall be made available to the Borrower by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the Borrower's
account at First Union National Bank, Jacksonville, Florida,
Account No. 2090000628791, ABA No. 000-000-000.
2.5 Discretionary Term Loan Advance Upon Substitution of
Approved Aircraft. At the request of the Borrower and after
substitution of an Approved Aircraft (the "Substitute Aircraft")
for an Approved Aircraft within six months after repayment of
the Term Loan to the extent and as required by Section 3.3(d)
hereunder, the Lender may make an advance in an amount equal to
the lesser of (i) 80% (or such other percentage as the Lender
shall determine in its sole discretion) of the Forced
Liquidation Value of the Substitute Aircraft if it is domiciled
in a jurisdiction other than Kenya, less any applicable
Collateral Reserve, and 50% (or such other percentage as the
Lender shall determine in its sole discretion) of the Forced
Liquidation Value of the Substitute Aircraft domiciled in Kenya,
less any applicable Collateral Reserve and (ii) the amount, if
any, by which (A) $3,000,000.00 minus all repayments of
principal made, or required to have been made on or prior to the
date of such advance in accordance with Schedule 2.3 hereto
exceeds (B) the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan
on such date (prior to the making of such Advance). Each such
advance, if any, shall be made in the sole and absolute
discretion of the Lender and shall be deemed to be a Term Loan
for all purposes hereunder and shall increase the Term Loan
Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. From and after the
making of such advance the outstanding principal balance of the
Term Loan shall include the amount of such advance, interest
shall be payable on such amount, and the amount of each
scheduled principal repayments shall be increased pro rata by
such amount. SECTION 3. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS
3.1 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Loans shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin. (b) If on any five Business Days
(whether or not consecutive) occurring in any calendar month the
amount of Revolver Advances outstanding on each such Business
Day exceeds the lesser of the Revolver Borrowing Base and the
Revolver Facility as in effect for each such Business Day with
the permission of the Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(c), then
the average daily balance of all Loans outstanding on each day
during such month shall bear interest at the rate determined
pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 3.1 plus a per annum rate
of one-half of one percent (0.50%). (c) If (i) all or a portion
of (A) any principal of any Loan, (B) any interest payable
thereon, (C) any fee payable hereunder or (D) any other amount
payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the
scheduled payment date or stated maturity, or by acceleration or
otherwise, but in the case of clauses (B), (C) and (D) after
giving effect to any applicable cure or grace period under
Section 8(a)), or (ii) an Event of Default not occurring as a
result of the failure to pay any such amount when due shall
exist and be continuing, then, in each such case, the principal
of the Loans and any such overdue interest, fee or other amount
shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is the rate that
would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section plus 2%, in each case from the date
of such non-payment until such overdue principal, interest, fee
or other amount is paid in full (as well after as before
judgment). (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant
to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to
time on demand. (e) In no event shall any of the interest rates
charg
ed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest
rate permissible under any law which a court of competent
jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable
hereto. In the event that such a court determines that the
Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the highest
applicable rate, such excess interest shall be first applied to
any unpaid principal balance owed by the Borrower, and if the
then remaining excess interest is greater than the unpaid
principal balance, the Lender shall promptly refund such excess
interest to the Borrower. 3.2 Optional Loan Prepayments. (a)
The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the
Revolver Advances, in whole or in part, without premium or
penalty, after giving to the Lender notice, which must be
received by the Lender no later than 12:00 noon, New York City
time on the date of such prepayment and which must specify the
date and amount of prepayment. If any such notice is given, the
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the
date specified therein. (b) The Borrower may at any time and
from time to time prepay the Term Loan, in whole or in part,
without premium or penalty after giving to the Lender notice,
which must be received by the Lender no later than 12:00 noon,
New York City time on the date of such prepayment and which must
specify the date and amount of prepayment. If any such notice
is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein and the amount of such
payments shall be applied against scheduled repayments of
principal on a pro rata basis and shall reduce the Term Loan
Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. 3.3 Mandatory Loan
Prepayments. (a) If on any date on which a Borrowing Base
Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section
6.2(c), the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Revolver Advances as of such date exceeds the Revolver Borrowing
Base, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolver Advances in an
amount equal to the amount of such excess no later than the
Business Day immediately following the date of delivery of such
Borrowing Base Certificate. Without in any way limiting the
foregoing, the Borrower shall upon receipt of any insurance
proceeds paid in connection with the occurrence of an Event of
Loss with respect to an Aircraft other than an Approved
Aircraft, prepay the Revolver Advances in an amount equal to
such insurance proceeds. (b) If on any date on which a Borrowing
Base Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section
6.2(c), the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term
Loan as of such date exceeds an amount equal to the sum of the
Term Loan Borrowing Base and the Revolver Reserve, the Borrower
shall immediately prepay the Term Loan in an amount equal to the
amount of such excess. The amount of such payment shall be
applied against scheduled repayments of principal on a pro rata
basis and shall reduce the Term Loan Facility on a
dollar-for-dollar basis. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section and subject to Section
3.1(b), the Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion and
without waiver of any right hereunder, permit the amount of the
Revolver Advances to exceed the Revolver Borrowing Base for such
time and upon such terms and conditions as it may determine.
(d) The Borrower shall (i) immediately upon each sale of an
Approved Aircraft prepay the Term Loan in an amount equal to the
lesser of (A) 100% of the Net Proceeds thereof and (B) the sum
of the Revolver Reserve and amount by which the Term Loan
Borrowing Base is reduced by such sale and (ii) within two (2)
Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of Loss with
respect to an Approved Aircraft prepay the Term Loan in an
amount equal to the sum of the Revolver Reserve and amount by
which the Term Loan Borrowing Base is reduced by such Event of
Loss. Amounts so paid shall be applied to the scheduled
repayments of principal on a pro rata basis and shall reduce the
Term Loan Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. (e) Unless the
Lender otherwise agrees, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolver
Advances in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds of any
sale, lease, assignment, exchange or other disposition for cash
of any asset or group of assets (including, without limitation,
insurance proceeds paid as a result of any destruction, casualty
or taking of any property of the Borrower), other than Approved
Aircraft and the Real Estate of the Borrower upon which its
principal executive offices are located on the Closing Date, not
made in the ordinary course of business by the Borrower, in any
such case no later than three Business Days following receipt by
the Borrower of such proceeds, together with accrued interest to
such date on the amount prepaid; provided that no such
prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 3.3(e)
unless the aggregate amount of such Net Proceeds received by the
Borrower and not previously applied to prepayment of the
Revolver Advances is at least $100,000. Nothing in this Section
3.3(e) shall be construed to derogate any restriction or
limitation contained in any Credit Document imposed on any
transaction of the types described in this Section 3.3(e),
including without limitation the restrictions set forth in
Sections 7.2, 7.5, and 7.6 hereof. 3.4 Computation of Interest
and Fees. (a) All fees and interest shall be calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. (b) Each
determination of an interest rate by the Lender pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on
the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. The Lender
shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a
statement showing the quotations used by the Lender in
determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 3.1(a).
3.5 Obligations and Payments. (a) Unless otherwise specified,
all Obligations, including all Loans and any debit balance(s) in
the Borrower's account(s), shall be payable on the Termination
Date, or if earlier, the effective termination date of this
Agreement. Recourse to the Collateral will not be required at
any time. All credit balances or other sums at any time
outstanding to the Borrower's credit and all reserves on the
Lender's books, and all of the Borrowers property in the
possession of the Lender at any time or in the possession of any
parent, Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Lender, or in which the
Lender or any parent, Affiliate or Subsidiary of any of them has
a Lien or security interest, may be held and reserved by the
Lender as security for all Obligations. (b) The Borrower
recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts
or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of
Accounts or Lease Payment Receivables may not be collectible by
the Lender on the date received. The Lender shall only
conditionally credit the Borrower's account(s) on the Lender's
books at such time as the Lender receives such payment. In
making computations under this Agreement, the settlement date
for each payment received, and the date on which the
corresponding Account or Lease Payment Receivable shall be
deemed paid for purposes of calculating the Revolver Borrowing
Base, shall be three (3) Business Days after the date on which
the payment is actually received by the Lender, provided that
such items of payment have been collected in good funds and
finally credited to the Lender's account. The Lender shall not,
however, be required to credit the Borrower's account for the
amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to the
Lender in its reasonable discretion and the Lender may charge
the Borrower's account(s) for the amount of any item of payment
which is returned to the Lender unpaid. (c) All payments
(including prepayments) of principal, interest and other amounts
payable hereunder, or under any of the related agreements shall
be made to the Lender, without set-off or counterclaim at the
Lending Office not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on
the due date therefor in lawful money of the United States of
America in federal or other funds immediately available to the
Lender. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a
day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments
of principal, interest thereon, shall be payable at the then
applicable rate during such extension. The Lender shall have
the right to effectuate payment on any and all Obligations due
and owing hereunder by charging the account(s) of the Borrower
and shall promptly notify the Borrower thereafter. (d) The
Borrower shall pay principal, interest, and all other
Obligations payable hereunder, or under any related agreement,
without any deduction whatsoever, including, but not limited to,
any deduction for any setoff or counterclaim. Until the earlier
to occur of a Default or an Event of Default, any payment(s)
theretofore made in the ordinary course of the Borrower's
business of Ledger Debt (as defined immediately below) due from
the Borrower, as an account debtor, may be made to the Lender
(only), with such deduction(s) as may be found in the ordinary
course of business to be proper and valid with respect to
related sales, but following the occurrence of a Default or an
Event of Default, any payment(s) made thereafter as to Ledger
Debt due from the Borrower to the Lender shall be made without
any deduction whatsoever, including but not limited to any
deduction for setoff or counterclaim. For purposes of this
subparagraph, the term "Ledger Debt" shall mean and include all
indebtedness and obligations due or to become due to the Lender
from the Borrower by reason of or in connection with the sale of
goods and/or the rendering of services from any factored client
of the Lender to the Borrower, as an account debtor, as to which
the resulting account receivable is sold or assigned to the
Lender at any time and from time to time by such factored
client(s). (e) All payments received or realized at any time and
from time to time by the Lender from or for the account of the
Borrower, other than proceeds of insurance applied pursuant to
Section 6.6(d) and security deposits and maintenance payments of
lessees under Aircraft Leases held under paragraph (f) of this
Section 3.5, and any proceeds thereof shall be applied as
follows: FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable and invoiced
costs and expenses of the Lender in connection with the
collection of such payments or the sale of any Collateral or
otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, including all court costs and the fees and
expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all
advances made by the Lender on behalf of the Borrower in
connection with the preservation of any Collateral or any
exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents and any other
costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of
any right or remedy hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents; SECOND, to the payment in full of any interest
accrued and unpaid on the Loans; THIRD, to the payment in full
of the outstanding principal of the Revolver Advances and, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, at the option of the Lender to the payment in full of
the outstanding principal of the Term Loan; FOURTH, to the
payment in full of all other Obligations then due and payable
(including, without limitation, any installment of principal of
the Term Loan then due and payable); and FIFTH, to the Borrower,
its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may otherwise direct. All such payments made to the
Lender by or for the account of the Borrower in immediately
available funds not constituting proceeds of Accounts or Lease
Payment Receivables (whether such proceeds are paid by the
Customer to the Lender under the Borrower Security Agreement or
to directly to the Borrower), shall be so applied on the date of
receipt thereof by the Lender and all payments received or
realized at any time and from time to time by the Lender from or
for the account of the Borrower constituting proceeds of
Accounts and Lease Payment Receivables (other than proceeds of
insurance applied pursuant to Section 6.6(d) and Aircraft Lease
maintenance payments and security deposits), and any proceeds of
such payments, shall be so applied three Business Days after
receipt thereof by the Lender. (f) All security deposits and
maintenance payments made by a lessee under an Aircraft Lease
shall be delivered to the Lender and held in a restricted
account which shall bear interest at the Matured Funds Rate
until termination of such Aircraft Lease and applied as follows:
(i) the Lender shall upon request pay such funds to such Lessee
if and to the extent such lessee is entitled to them under such
Aircraft Lease; (ii) if, after termination of such Aircraft
Lease, return to the Borrower of the related Aircraft and
receipt by the Lender of an Appraisal with respect thereto, the
amount of Loans outstanding does not exceed the sum of the Term
Loan Borrowing Base and the Revolver Borrowing Base and no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender
shall, upon request of the Borrower, pay such funds to the
Borrower if and to the extent required by such Aircraft Lease;
and (iii) if, after termination of such Aircraft Lease such
funds are not required to be paid to the lessee thereunder and
the amount of Loans outstanding exceeds the sum of the Term Loan
Borrowing Base and the Revolver Borrowing Base or an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender shall
apply such funds in accordance with the provisions of paragraph
(e) of this Section 3.5. (g) The Borrower agrees that, upon the
request by the Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to
the Lender (i) a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing the
Term Loan of the Lender, in form and substance acceptable to the
Lender (a "Term Note"), and/or (ii) a promissory note of the
Borrower evidencing the Revolver Advances of the Lender in form
and substance acceptable to the Lender (a "Revolver Note").
3.6 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this
Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction
or withholding for or on account of, any present or future
income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges,
fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed,
levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental
Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes
(imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Lender as a
result of a present or former connection between the Lender and
the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax
or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the
Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations
or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement). If
any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges,
fees deductions or withholdings ("Non-Excluded Taxes") are
required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Lender
hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Lender shall be
increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Lender (after
payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other
amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts
specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the
Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts
payable to the Lender if it shall cease to be, or any successor
or assign shall not be, organized under the laws of the United
States of America or a state thereof and shall fail to comply
with the requirements of clause (b) of this Section. Whenever
any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly
as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Lender a
certified copy of an original official receipt received by the
Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay
any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing
authority or fails to remit to the Lender the required receipts
or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall
indemnify the Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or
penalties that may become payable by the Lender as a result of
any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans
and all other amounts payable hereunder. (b) If the Lender shall
cease to be, or any successor to or assign of the Lender shall
not be, incorporated under the laws of the United States of
America or a state thereof, the Lender or its successor lender,
as the case may be, shall deliver to the Borrower (i) two duly
completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form
1001 or 4224 or successor applicable form, as the case may be,
and (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 or
successor applicable form. The Lender or such successor or
assignee, as the case may be, also agrees to deliver to the
Borrower two further copies of the said Form 1001 or 4224 and
Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable form or other manner of
certification, as may be required, on or before the date that
any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent
form previously delivered by it to the Borrower, and such
extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by
the Borrower, unless in any such case an event (including,
without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has
occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would
otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable
or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and
delivering any such form with respect to it and the Lender or
such successor or assignee, as the case may be, so advises the
Borrower. The Lender or such successor lender, as the case may
be, shall certify (i) in the case of a Form 1001 or 4224, that
it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income
taxes and (ii) in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, that it is
entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding
tax. 3.7 Lending Office; Change of Lending Office. Loans made
by the Lender shall be made and maintained at the Lending
Office. 3.8 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Lender
the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Termination
Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and
payable pursuant to Section 8). The Borrower hereby further
agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the
Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until
payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the
dates, set forth in Section 3.1. (b) The Lender shall maintain
in accordance with its usual practice a loan account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender
resulting from each Loan from time to time, including the dates
and amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to the
Lender from time to time under this Agreement. (c) The entries
made in the accounts of the Lender maintained pursuant to
Section 3.8(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however,
that the failure of the Lender to maintain any such account, or
any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation
of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans
made to such Borrower by the Lender in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. (d) For each month, the Lender shall send to
the Borrower a statement showing the accounting for the Loans
made to the Borrower, payments made or credited in respect
thereof, and other transactions between the Lender and the
Borrower during such month. Each such monthly statement shall
be deemed correct and binding upon the Borrower in the absence
of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between
the Lender and the Borrower unless the Lender receives a written
statement of the Borrower's specific exceptions thereto within
sixty (60) days after such statement is sent by the Lender to
the Borrower. 3.9 Closing Fee; Facility Fee . (a) On the
Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender in
immediately available funds a fee equal to $70,000.00 (which
shall be in addition to all fees paid to the Lender prior to the
execution and delivery of this Agreement). The Lender is hereby
authorized to withhold the amount of such fee from the proceeds
of the Term Loan. (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender a
facility fee of $7,500.00 per month for each month commencing
with the month in which the Closing Date occurs and ending with
and including the month in which the Termination Date (or such
earlier date on which both of the Facilities shall have
terminated as provided herein) occurs. The fee for the month in
which the Closing Date occurs shall be pro rated based upon the
number of days from and including the Closing Date to and
including the last day of such month. 3.10 Early Termination
Fee. Except as set forth in Section 9.6(a), if the Borrower
shall terminate the Facilities during any annual period
following the Closing Date set forth below, the Borrower shall
concurrently pay to the Lender an early termination fee in the
amount equal to the percentage of the Facilities in effect
immediately prior to such termination set forth opposite such
period below: Year Following Closing Date Amount Year 1 3.00%
Year 2 2.00% Year 3 and thereafter 1.00% 3.11 Bank Charges.
The Borrower shall additionally pay to the Lender all reasonable
and customary bank charges paid or incurred by the Lender for
the Borrower's account, including, without limitation, charges
for wire transfers. 3.12 Matured Funds. In the event that any
amounts payable by the Lender to the Borrower under this
Agreement or any Security Agreement (as confirmed by the Lender
by appropriate credit to the Borrower's account(s) with the
Lender) are not drawn by the Borrower, the Lender shall pay to
the Borrower interest on such amounts while so held by the
Lender (such amounts, while so held, being hereinafter referred
to as "Matured Funds"), at rates announced by the Lender from
time to time as the Lender's matured funds rate (the "Matured
Funds Rate", which Matured Funds Rate may not be made available
at all times to all customers of the Lender). Interest hereunder
at the Matured Funds Rate shall be paid to the Borrower by
credit to the Borrower's account(s) monthly on the last day of
the month in which such interest accrues. Any change announced
by the Lender in the Matured Funds Rate shall be effective only
after ten (10) days prior written notice to the Borrower of the
Lender's intention to make such change. As of the Effective
Date, the Matured Funds Rate on the average daily balance of
Matured Funds held by the Borrower during any month shall be a
rate per annum equal to three percent (3%) less than the average
Alternate Base Rate in effect during such month. 3.13 Increased
Costs. If any change in any Requirement of Law or in the
interpretation or application thereof by any court or
administrative agency or other Governmental Authority charged
with the administration thereof shall either impose, modify,
assess or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
assessment or similar requirement against Loans made by the
Lender or impose on the Lender any other condition regarding any
Loans or the performance by the Lender of its obligations under
this Agreement, and the result thereof shall be to increase the
cost to the Lender of making or maintaining such Loans or
otherwise performing its obligations hereunder (which increase
in cost shall be the result of the Lender's reasonable
allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting
from such events) or shall reduce any amount receivable by the
Lender in respect thereof, then, upon demand by the Lender, the
Borrower shall immediately pay to the Lender, from time to time
as specified by the Lender, additional amounts which shall be
sufficient to compensate the Lender for such increased cost or
reduced amount receivable, together with interest on each such
amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at
the rate provided in Section 3.1. A certificate as to the fact
and amount of such increased cost incurred by the Lender as a
result of any such event shall be submitted by the Lender to the
Borrower, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. SECTION
4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES To induce the Lender to enter
into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Borrower hereby
represents and warrants to the Lender that: 4.1 Financial
Condition. (a) The audited consolidated balance sheet of the
Borrower as at May 31, 1996 and the related unaudited
consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the
fiscal year ended on such date, copies of which have heretofore
been furnished to the Lender, are complete and correct in all
material respects and present fairly the consolidated financial
condition of the Borrower as at such date, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for
the fiscal year then ended. All such financial statements,
including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout
the periods involved (except as approved by such accountants or
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, as the case may be, and as
disclosed therein). At the date of the most recent balance
sheet referred to above, the Borrower had (i) no material
Guarantee Obligation, (ii) to its knowledge, no contingent
liability, (iii) no liability for taxes, (iv) no long-term
lease, and (v) no unusual forward or long-term commitment,
including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign
currency swap or exchange transaction, in each case which is not
reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto.
During the period from May 31, 1996 to and including the date
hereof there has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by
the Borrower of any material part of its business or property
and no purchase or other acquisition of any business or property
(including any Capital Stock of any other Person) material in
relation to the financial condition of the Borrower at May 31,
1996. (b) The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the
Borrower as at August 31, 1996 and the related unaudited
consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the
three-month period ended on such date, certified by an
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, copies of which have
heretofore been furnished to the Lender, are complete and
correct in all material respects and present fairly the
consolidated financial condition of the Borrower as at such
date, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the three-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end
audit adjustments). All such financial statements, including
the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods
involved (except as approved by such accountants or Responsible
Officer, as the case may be, and as disclosed therein). At the
date of the most recent balance sheet referred to above, the
Borrower had (i) no material Guarantee Obligation, (ii) to its
knowledge, no contingent liability, (iii) no liability for
taxes, (iv) and no long-term lease, and (v) no unusual forward
or long-term commitment, including, without limitation, any
interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction,
in each case which is not reflected in the foregoing statements
or in the notes thereto. (c) The operating forecast and cash
flow projections of the Borrower, copies of which have
heretofore been furnished to the Lender, have been prepared in
good faith under the direction of a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower, and in accordance with GAAP except that such forecast
and projections do not include footnotes and other disclosures
which may be required pursuant to GAAP. The Borrower has no
reason to believe that as of the date of delivery thereof such
operating forecast and cash flow projections are not a fair and
reasonable presentation of the projected financial position,
results of operations and changes in cash flows of the Borrower
for the periods indicated, based upon the assumptions stated
therein, which assumptions the Borrower believes to be
reasonable. 4.2 No Change. (a) Since May 31, 1996 there has
been no development or event which has had or could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) during
the period from May 31, 1996 to and including the date hereof no
distributions have been declared, paid or made upon the Capital
Stock of the Borrower nor has any of the Capital Stock of the
Borrower been redeemed, retired, purchased or otherwise acquired
for value by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.
4.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. The Borrower (a) is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and
authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property,
to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the
business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified
and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where
its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of
its business requires such qualification and (d) is in
compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent
that the failure to comply therewith reasonably could not, in
the aggregate, be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. The Borrower
has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make,
deliver and perform the Credit Documents to which it is a party
and to borrow hereunder and has taken all necessary action to
authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of the Credit Documents to which it is a party. No
consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act
by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other
Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder
or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or
enforceability of the Credit Documents to which the Borrower is
a party other than as listed on Schedule 4.4 hereto. Each
Credit Document to which the Borrower is a party has been or
will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower.
Each Credit Document to which the Borrower is a party when
executed and delivered will constitute a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium
and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors'
rights generally, general equitable principles (whether
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing. 4.5 No Legal Bar. The
execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents to
which the Borrower is a party, the borrowings hereunder and the
use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of
Law or Contractual Obligation (other than Contractual
Obligations that will terminate upon our initial funding of the
Loans) of the Borrower and will not result in, or require, the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its properties or
revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual
Obligation (other than Liens created by the Security Documents
in favor of the Lender). 4.6 No Material Litigation. No
litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any
arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against the
Borrower, or against any of its properties or revenues (a) with
respect to any of the Credit Documents or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.7 No
Default. The Borrower is not in default under or with respect
to any of its Contractual Obligations (other than any such
Contractual Obligations that will terminate upon the initial
funding of the Loans) in any respect which could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing. 4.8 Ownership of
Property; Liens. The Borrower has good record and marketable
title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all
its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold
interest in, all its other property, including, without
limitation, its Aircraft, and none of such property is subject
to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3. 4.9 Intellectual
Property. The Borrower owns, or is licensed to use, all
trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, technology, know-how and
processes necessary for the conduct of its business as currently
conducted except for those the failure to own or license which
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect (the "Intellectual Property"). No claim has been
asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning
the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or
effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the
Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of
such Intellectual Property by the Borrower does not infringe on
the rights of any Person, except for such claims and
infringements that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expect to have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.10 No Burdensome
Restrictions. No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation
(other than any such Contractual Obligations that will terminate
upon the funding of the Loans) of the Borrower has a Material
Adverse Effect. 4.11 Taxes. The Borrower has filed or caused to
be filed all tax returns which, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown
to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made
against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or
other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any
Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of
which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity
with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower, as
the case may be); no tax Lien has been filed (other than
property tax Liens of record permitted under Section 7.3(a)),
and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being
asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.
4.12 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans
will be used for "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin stock"
within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under
Regulation G or Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in
effect, or for any purpose which violates, or which would be
inconsistent with, the provisions of the regulations of such
Board of Governors. If requested by the Lender, the Borrower
will furnish to the Lender a statement to the foregoing effect
in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form
U-1 referred to in said Regulation G or Regulation U, as the
case may be. 4.13 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an
"accumulated funding deficiency" (within the meaning of Section
412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the
five-year period prior to the date on which this representation
is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan
has complied in all material respects with the applicable
provisions of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single
Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or
a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present
value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan
(based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as
of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which
this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of
the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits.
Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had
a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan,
and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity
would become subject to any liability under ERISA if the
Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw
completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date
most closely preceding the date on which this representation is
made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in
Reorganization or Insolvent. The present value (determined
using actuarial and other assumptions which are reasonable in
respect of the benefits provided and the employees
participating) of the liability of the Borrower and each
Commonly Controlled Entity for post retirement benefits to be
provided to their current and former employees under Plans which
are welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA)
does not, in the aggregate, exceed the assets under all such
Plans allocable to such benefits. 4.14 Investment Company Act;
Other Regulations. The Borrower is not an "investment company",
or a company "controlled" by an "investment company", within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The
Borrower is not subject to regulation under any Federal or State
statute or regulation (other than Regulation X of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System) which limits its
ability to incur Indebtedness. 4.15 Subsidiaries. As of the
Closing Date, except for IASG-Virgin Islands, Inc., a Virgin
Islands corporation, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries.
4.16 Security Documents. (a) The provisions of each Security
Document are effective to create in favor of the Lender a legal,
valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and
interest of the Borrower in the "Collateral" described therein.
(b) (i) When financing statements on forms UCC-1, have been
filed or recorded, as applicable, in the offices in the
jurisdictions listed in Schedules IV and VI to the Borrower
Security Agreement, the Borrower Security Agreement shall
constitute a fully perfected first Lien on, and security
interest in, all right, title and interest of the Borrower in
the "Collateral" described therein, which can be perfected by
such filing. (ii) When the Aircraft Chattel Mortgages have been
filed with the FAA in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, each Aircraft
Chattel Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected first
mortgage lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and
interest of the Borrower in the "Mortgaged Property" described
therein, which can be perfected by such filing. 4.17 Accuracy
and Completeness of Information. (a) All factual information,
reports and other papers and data with respect to the Borrower
(other than projections) furnished, and all factual statements
and representations made, to the Lender by the Borrower, or on
behalf of the Borrower, were, at the time the same were so
furnished or made, when taken together with all such other
factual information, reports and other papers and data
previously so furnished and all such other factual statements
and representations previously so made, complete and correct in
all material respects, and did not, as of the date so furnished
or made, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances in which the same were made. (b) All projections
with respect to the Borrower furnished by or on behalf of the
Borrower to the Lender were prepared and presented in good faith
by or on behalf of the Borrower. No fact is known to the
Borrower which materially and adversely affects or in the future
is reasonably likely (so far as the Borrower can reasonably
foresee) to have a Material Adverse Effect which has not been
set forth in the financial statements referred to in Section 6.1
or in such information, reports, papers and data or otherwise
disclosed in writing to the Lender prior to the Closing Date.
4.18 Labor Relations. The Borrower is not engaged in any unfair
labor practice which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. There is (a) no unfair labor practice
complaint pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened against the Borrower before the National Labor
Relations Board which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect and no grievance or arbitration
proceeding arising out of or under a collective bargaining
agreement is so pending or threatened; (b) no strike, labor
dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending or, to the best knowledge
of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower; and (c) no
union representation question existing with respect to the
employees of the Borrower and no union organizing activities are
taking place with respect to any thereof. 4.19 Insurance. The
Borrower has, with respect to its properties and business,
insurance covering the risks, in the amounts, with the
deductible or other retention amounts, and with the carriers,
listed on Schedule 4.19, which insurance meets the requirements
of Section 6.6 hereof and Section 5(o) of the Borrower Security
Agreement, in each case as of the Closing Date. 4.20 Solvency.
On the Closing Date, after giving effect to the consummation of
the repayment of the Senior Secured Notes and the Subordinated
Debenture Conversion, and to the incurrence of all indebtedness
and obligations being incurred on or prior to such date in
connection herewith and therewith, (i) the amount of the
"present fair saleable value" of the assets of the Borrower
will, as of such date, exceed the amount of all "liabilities of
the Borrower, contingent or otherwise", as of such date, as such
quoted terms are determined in accordance with applicable
federal and state laws governing determinations of the
insolvency of debtors, (ii) the present fair saleable value of
the assets of the Borrower will, as of such date, be greater
than the amount that will be required to pay the liabilities of
the Borrower on its debts as such debts become absolute and
matured, (iii) the Borrower will not have, as of such date, an
unreasonably small amount of capital with which to conduct its
business, and (iv) the Borrower will be able to pay its debts as
they mature. For purposes of this Section 4.20, "debt" means
"liability on a claim", and "claim" means any (x) right to
payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment,
liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured,
disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured,
and (y) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance
if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not
such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed,
contingent, matured or unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured
or unsecured. 4.21 Purpose of Loans. The proceeds of the Loans
shall be used by the Borrower for repayment of the Senior
Secured Notes, for working capital purposes in the ordinary
course of business and to pay fees and expenses incurred in
connection herewith and therewith. 4.22 Environmental Matters.
Except as set forth on Schedule 4.22: (a) The facilities and
properties subject to the Republic Mortgage and each other
parcel, if any, owned or operated by the Borrower (the
"Properties") do not contain, and have not previously contained,
any Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts or
concentrations which (i) constitute or constituted a violation
of any Environmental Law, which violations, individually or in
the aggregate with all other such violations, could reasonably
be expected to give rise to liability in excess of the Material
Environmental Amount, or (ii) could otherwise reasonably be
expected to give rise to liability or result in a payment in
excess of the Material Environmental Amount under any
Environmental Law. (b) The Properties and all operations at the
Properties are in compliance, and have in the last five years
been in compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws, and
there is no contamination at, under or about the Properties or
violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the
Properties or the businesses operated by the Borrower (the
"Business") which could interfere with the continued operation
of the Properties or impair the fair saleable value thereof, in
each case except to the extent the same in the aggregate could
not reasonably be expected to give rise to a liability, or cause
such an impairment of value, in an amount in excess of the
Material Environmental Amount. (c) The Borrower has received no
notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance,
liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters
or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the
Properties or the Business, except any such notices with respect
to any such matters that in the aggregate could not reasonably
be expected to give rise to liability in excess of the Material
Environmental Amount, nor does the Borrower have knowledge or
reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is
being threatened. (d) Materials of Environmental Concern have
not been transported or disposed of from the Properties in
violation of, or in a manner or to a location which could
reasonably be expected to give rise to liability or result in a
payment in excess of the Material Environmental Amount under any
Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental
Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or
under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that
could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability or result
in a payment in excess of the Material Environmental Amount
under any applicable Environmental Law. (e) No judicial
proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending
or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, under any
Environmental Law to which the Borrower is or will be named as a
party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are
there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders,
administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative
or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law
with respect to the Properties or the Business, in each case
except to the extent the same could not in the aggregate
reasonably be expected to give rise to a liability in an amount
in excess of the Material Environmental Amount. (f) There has
been no release or threat of release of Materials of
Environmental Concern at or from the Properties, or arising from
or related to the operations of the Borrower in connection with
the Properties or otherwise in connection with the Business, in
violation of or in amounts or in a manner that could reasonably
be expected to give rise to liability or result in a payment in
excess of the Material Environmental Amount under Environmental
Laws. 4.23 Regulation H. No mortgage of any of the Real Estate
of the Borrower granted to the Lender, if any, encumbers
improved real property which is located in an area that has been

an area having special flood hazards and in which flood
insurance has been made available under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968. 4.24 Not a Certificated Air Carrier. The

such accounts payable to include any book overdrafts or held
checks); (g) during the month of September in each calendar
year, a report of a reputable insurance broker with respect to
the insurance maintained by the Borrower in accordance with
Section 6.6 of this Agreement and Section 5(o) of the Borrower
Security Agreement and such supplemental reports as the Lender
may from time to time request; and (h) promptly, such additional
financial and other information as the Lender may from time to
time reasonably request. In preparing the Borrowing Base
Certificate to be delivered pursuant to paragraph (c) of this
Section 6.2 on each Business Day, the Borrower may treat any
Account then owned by the Borrower on such Business Day as an
Eligible Account if on the first Business Day of the month it
satisfied the eligibility criteria of clauses (b), (c), (f),
(g), (j) and (m) and, unless otherwise notified by the Lender,
clauses (e), (k) and (l) of the definition of Eligible Account.
6.3 Payment of Obligations. Pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy
at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the
case may be, all its obligations of whatever nature, except
where the amount or validity thereof is currently being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and reserves
in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been provided
on the books of the Borrower, as the case may be, except for
such obligations as to which the failure to so pay, discharge or
otherwise satisfy would not, in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Borrower. 6.4 Conduct of Business and
Maintenance of Existence. Continue to engage in business of the
same general type as now conducted by it and preserve, renew and
keep in full force and effect its existence and take all
reasonable action to maintain all rights, privileges and
franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its
business except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 7.5;
comply with all Contractual Obligations and Requirements of Law
except to the extent that failure to comply therewith could not,
in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
6.5 Maintenance of Property . (a) Keep all property useful and
necessary in its business in good working order and condition.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Borrower agrees to keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and
maintained, the Aircraft, the Airframes, the Aircraft Engines
and the Aircraft Parts in good operating condition, except for
ordinary wear and tear, and to make or cause to be made all
necessary repairs and replacements thereof so that the value and
operating efficiency thereof shall at all times be maintained
and preserved in accordance with industry standards and any and
all applicable Requirements of Law and, in the case of each
Approved Aircraft not registered with the FAA, so as to maintain
such Approved Aircraft as readily certifiable as airworthy under
Part 121 or Part 125 of the U.S. Federal Aviation Regulations,
and any successor, substitute or equivalent regulations
applicable to the operation of commercial aircraft (regardless
of the jurisdiction of its registration), and any applicable
provisions of Aircraft Leases. Without in any way limiting the
foregoing, all Aircraft held by the Borrower for lease or sale
and all Approved Aircraft shall, while not in passenger or cargo
operation, be stored and maintained in accordance with all
manufacturers approved storage procedures for long-term or
short-term storage, as the case may be. Except as provided in
Section 6.13, no Airframe, no Aircraft Engine, and no Aircraft
Part which is material in value or to the airworthiness of an
Approved Aircraft, may be removed from an Approved Aircraft for
use as part of or to support any other Aircraft which is not an
Approved Aircraft or the other operations of the Borrower and no
Airframe, Aircraft Engine, or Aircraft Part may be removed from
an Approved Aircraft for use as part of or to support any other
Approved Aircraft if the effect of such removal and use would be
to diminish the fair market value of the Approved Aircraft taken
as a whole. The Borrower shall give the Lender at least five
(5) Business Days prior written notice of (i) the removal of any
Airframe, Aircraft Engine or Aircraft Part from any Approved
Aircraft for use as part of or to support any other Aircraft
which is not an Approved Aircraft or the operations of the
Borrower other than another Approved Aircraft (except in
connection with a replacement permitted under Section 6.13) and
(ii) any such removal for use in another Approved Aircraft if
the effect thereof would be to render any Approved Aircraft not
airworthy or to materially diminish the fair market value of the
Approved Aircraft taken as a whole. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing in this clause (a) shall prohibit the
Borrower from "parting-out" or removing Aircraft Engines or
Aircraft Parts from any Aircraft which is not an Approved
Aircraft while such Aircraft is on the ground and not in
passenger or cargo service. (b) Maintain or cause to be
maintained in the English language, or provide or cause to be
provided promptly upon the request of the Lender English
translations of, all records, logs and other materials required
to be maintained in respect of the Aircraft under each
applicable Requirement of Law. (c) Maintain a lawful certificate
of registration for each of the Approved Aircraft. 6.6 Insurance
(a) Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance. Carry or
cause to be carried with insurers of recognized responsibility
acceptable to the Lender (i) with respect to each Aircraft,
aircraft public liability (including, without limitation,
passenger legal liability, contractual liability and, to the
extent war risk insurance is required by Section 6.6(b) hereof,
war risk liability) insurance and property damage insurance
(exclusive of manufacturer's product liability insurance) and
(ii) cargo liability insurance, in each such case of a type,
covering the risks and in scope and amount consistent from time
to time with prudent industry custom and practice. All policies
of insurance carried in accordance with this Section 6.6(a) and
any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for such
policies (A) shall be amended to name the Lender (and, if any
Aircraft Lease shall be in effect, the Borrower in its capacity
as lessor under the Aircraft Lease) as additional insureds as
their respective interests may appear (but without imposing on
the Lender liability to pay the premiums for such insurance),
(B) shall provide that in respect of the interests of the Lender
in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any
action or inaction of the Borrower (or, if any Aircraft Lease is
then in effect, any lessee or sublessee) and shall insure the
Lender (and, if any Aircraft Lease shall be in effect, the
Borrower in its capacity as lessor under the Aircraft Lease)
regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty,
declaration or condition contained in such policies by the
Borrower (or, if any Aircraft Lease is then in effect, any
lessee or sublessee), and (C) shall provide that if the insurers
cancel such insurance for any reason whatever or if any material
change is made in such insurance that adversely affects the
interest of the Lender (or, if any Aircraft Lease shall be in
effect, the Borrower in its capacity as lessor under the
Aircraft Lease), or such insurance shall lapse for non-payment
of premium, such cancellation, lapse or change shall not be
effective as to the Lender (or, if any Aircraft Lease shall be
in effect, the Borrower in its capacity as lessor under the
Aircraft Lease) for thirty days (seven days in the case of war
risk and allied perils coverage) after receipt by the Lender
(and, if any Aircraft Lease shall be in effect, the Borrower in
its capacity as lessor under the Aircraft Lease), respectively,
of written notice by such insurers of such cancellation, lapse
or change; provided, however, that if any notice period
specified above is not reasonably obtainable, such policies
shall provide for as long a period of prior notice as shall then
be reasonably obtainable. Each liability policy (1) shall be
primary without right of contribution from any other insurance
that is carried by the Lender (or, if any Aircraft Lease shall
be in effect, the Borrower in its capacity as lessor under the
Aircraft Lease), (2) shall expressly provide that all of the
provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall
operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy
covering each insured, and (3) shall waive any right of the
insurers to any set-off or counterclaim or any other deduction,
whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability
of (and shall waive any right of subrogation against) the Lender
(or, if any Aircraft Lease shall be in effect, the Borrower in
its capacity as lessor under the Aircraft Lease) to the extent
of any moneys due to the Lender (or, if any Aircraft Lease shall
be in effect, the Borrower in its capacity as lessor under the
Aircraft Lease). (b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage to the
Aircraft. Maintain or cause to be maintained in effect with
insurers of recognized responsibility acceptable to the Lender,
all risk aircraft hull insurance covering the Aircraft and all
risk coverage of the related Aircraft Engines (including,
without limitation, war risk and governmental confiscation and
expropriation (other than by the government of registry of the
Aircraft) and hijacking insurance, in respect of all Aircraft
flown outside of the United States and Canada), which is of a
type as from time to time is in accordance with prudent industry
custom and practice for an amount and in no event less than the
fair market value thereof. Any policies of insurance carried in
accordance with this paragraph (b) covering the Aircraft and any
policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such
policies (i) shall name the Lender (and, if any Aircraft Lease
shall be in effect, the Borrower in its capacity as lessor under
the Aircraft Lease) as additional insureds, as their respective
interests may appear (but without imposing on any such party
liability to pay premiums with respect to such insurance), (ii)
shall provide that all proceeds shall be payable to the Lender
(for application pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 6.6,
(iv) shall provide that if the insurers cancel such insurance
for any reason whatever, or if any material change is made in
the insurance that adversely affects the interest of the Lender
(or if any Aircraft Lease shall be in effect, the Borrower in
its capacity as lessor under the Aircraft Lease), such
cancellation or change shall not be effective as to the Lender
(or, if any Aircraft Lease shall be in effect, the Borrower in
its capacity as lessor under the Aircraft Lease) for thirty (30)
days (seven days in the case of hull war risk and allied perils
coverage) after receipt by the Lender (and, if any Aircraft
Lease shall be in effect, the Borrower in its capacity as lessor
under the Aircraft Lease), respectively, of written notice by
such insurers of such cancellation or change, provided, however,
that if any notice period specified above is not reasonably
obtainable, such policies shall provide for as long a period of
prior notice as shall then be reasonably obtainable, (v) shall
provide that in respect of the respective interests of the
Lender (and, if any Aircraft Lease shall be in effect, the
Borrower in its capacity as lessor under the Aircraft Lease) in
such policies the insurance shall not be invalidated by any
action or inaction of the Borrower (or, if a Aircraft Lease is
then in effect, any lessee or the Borrower) and shall insure the
respective interests of the Lender (and, if any Aircraft Lease
shall be in effect, the Borrower in its capacity as lessor under
the Aircraft Lease), as they appear, regardless of any breach or
violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in
such policies by the Borrower (or, if a Aircraft Lease is then
in effect, any lessee), (vi) shall be primary without any right
of contribution from any other insurance that is carried by the
Lender (or, if any Aircraft Lease shall be in effect, the
Borrower in its capacity as lessor under the Aircraft Lease),
(vii) shall waive any right of subrogation of the insurers
against the Lender (and, if any Aircraft Lease shall be in
effect, the Borrower in its capacity as lessor under the
Aircraft Lease), and (viii) the Borrower shall waive any right
of the insurers to set-off or counterclaim or any other
deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any
liability of the Borrower (or any lessee) to the extent of any
moneys due to the Lender. In the case of a loss with respect to
an engine (other than an Aircraft Engine) installed on the
Airframe, the Borrower shall hold any payment to it of any
insurance proceeds in respect of such loss for the account of
the Borrower or any other third party that is entitled to
receive such proceeds. In the case of any policy that contains
an exclusion for war or allied perils risks, the Borrower will
cause such policy, as well as each policy covering war or allied
perils risks to have a "50-50" provisional settlement clause
applicable to such policy, if commercially available.
(c) Grounded Aircraft and Aircraft Inventory. With respect to
all Aircraft (including Approved Aircraft) during any period
that such Aircraft is on the ground and not in normal passenger
or cargo service operation, in lieu of the insurance required by
clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 6.6, the Borrower may, and
with respect to all Aircraft Inventory the Borrower shall, carry
or cause to be carried, insurance otherwise conforming with the
provisions of said clauses (a) and (b) except that the amounts
of the coverage, the scope of the risks and the type of
insurance shall be the same as from time to time is in
accordance with prudent industry custom and practice and in an
amount at least equal to the fair market value thereof.
(d) Application of Insurance Proceeds. Proceeds of insurance
policies hereby required to be in effect shall be applied by the
Lender as follows: (i) If payable as the result of an Event of
Loss with respect to any of the Aircraft, Airframes, Aircraft
Engines or Aircraft Parts, and if the Borrower is obligated to
make payment pursuant to Section 3.3, such proceeds shall be
paid to the Lender and applied toward such obligation; (ii) If
payable as the result of any damage or loss not constituting an
Event of Loss with respect to any Airframe, Aircraft Engine or
Aircraft Part, but as to which the Borrower is obligated
(because of the diminution in Forced Liquidation Value thereof)
to make payment under Section 3.3, such proceeds shall be paid
to the Lender and applied toward such obligation; (iii) If
payable as the result of any damage or loss not constituting an
Event of Loss with respect to any Airframe, Aircraft Engine or
Aircraft Part, but as to which the Borrower is obligated to
repair or replace such Airframe or Aircraft Engine pursuant to
Section 6.13, such proceeds shall be applied to the
reimbursement of the Borrower for such repair or replacement;
and (iv) In all other cases, such proceeds shall be applied to
the repayment of the outstanding Revolver Advances, without
reduction of the Revolver Facility, and if no such advances
shall be outstanding, paid to the Borrower;
provided, however, that any amounts payable under subclause
(iii) or (iv) hereof shall not be paid to the Borrower if at the
time of such payment a Default or an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing but shall be either held by the
Lender (in an interest-bearing account) (x) in the case of
subclause (iii), as security to ensure that the appropriate
repairs are made or maintenance undertaken, or applied to repair
the damage or undertake the maintenance, and (y) in the case of
subclause (iv), to ensure satisfaction of the Obligations. At
such time as there shall not be continuing any such Default or
Event of Default, such amount shall be paid to the Borrower to
the extent not previously applied in accordance with the
preceding sentence or otherwise under the Credit Documents.
(e) Payments from Governmental Authorities. Any payment,
received at any time by the Lender or the Borrower from any
Governmental Authority or other Person with respect to an Event
of Loss shall be applied in the same manner as insurance
proceeds are applied pursuant to Section 6.6(d) above.
(f) Periodic Reports. On or prior to the date hereof and at
least annually, prior to each anniversary of the Closing Date,
the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender a report and/or
certificate signed by a firm of independent aircraft insurance
brokers, appointed by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to
the Lender, describing in reasonable detail the insurance then
carried and maintained on or with respect to the Aircraft and
stating that in the opinion of such firm such insurance complies
with the terms of this Section 6.6. The Borrower shall cause
such firm to advise the Lender in writing (i) promptly of any
default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or
omission on the part of the Borrower of which such firm has
knowledge and that might invalidate or render unenforceable in
whole or in part, any insurance on the Aircraft, Airframes,
Aircraft Engines and Aircraft Parts, and (ii) at least 10 days
prior to the expiration or termination date of any insurance
maintained with respect thereto if such insurance has not been
renewed by such date in accordance with the terms hereof.
6.7 Inspection of Property; Books and Records; Discussions.
(a) Keep proper books of records and account in which full, true
and correct entries in conformity with GAAP and all Requirements
of Law shall be made of all dealings and transactions in
relation to its business and activities; and permit
representatives of the Lender to visit and inspect any of its
properties and examine and make abstracts from any of its books
and records at any reasonable time and as often as may
reasonably be desired and to discuss the business, operations,
properties and financial and other condition of the Borrower
with officers and employees of the Borrower and with its
independent certified public accountants. (b) Lender shall
cause, at the Borrower's sole cost and expense, physical
Appraisals of all Aircraft to be conducted annually; provided,
however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with
respect to any Aircraft or at any other time Lender shall deem
itself insecure or unsafe or shall fear diminution in value of
the Aircraft, Lender may cause, at the Borrower's sole cost and
expense, additional Appraisals and inspections to be conducted
with respect to the Approved Aircraft and Borrower shall use its
best efforts to facilitate such Appraisals or inspections
whether under an Aircraft Lease or otherwise. In addition,
Borrower shall provide, at its sole cost and expense, "desk top"
Appraisals to the Lender semi-annually. 6.8 Notices. Promptly
give notice to the Lender of: (a) the occurrence of any Default
or Event of Default and of any event that constitutes, or with
the passage of time would constitute, an Event of Loss with
respect to any Aircraft or Aircraft Engine; (b) any (i) default
or event of default under any Contractual Obligation of the
Borrower or (ii) litigation, investigation or proceeding which
may exist at any time between the Borrower and any Governmental
Authority, which in either case, if not cured or if adversely
determined, as the case may be, could have a Material Adverse
Effect; (c) any litigation or proceeding affecting the Borrower
in which the amount involved is $100,000 or more and not covered
by insurance or in which injunctive or similar relief is sought;
(d) the acquisition by the Borrower of any property or interest
in property (including, without limitation, Aircraft or Aircraft
Parts), that is not subject to a perfected Lien in favor of the
Lender pursuant to the Security Documents; (e) the occurrence of
any transaction or occurrence referred to in Section 3.3(d) or
Section 3.3(e), and the receipt of any Net Proceeds or any
insurance proceeds as a result thereof (whether or not such Net
Proceeds or proceeds are then required to be applied to the
repayment of Loans and reduction of Facilities as specified in
Section 3.3(d) or Section 3.3(e)); (f) the following events, as
soon as possible and in any event within 30 days after the
Borrower knows or has reason to know thereof: (i) the
occurrence or expected occurrence of any Reportable Event with
respect to any Plan, a failure to make any required contribution
to a Plan, the creation of any Lien in favor of the PBGC or a
Plan or any withdrawal from, or the termination, Reorganization
or Insolvency of, any Multiemployer Plan or (ii) the institution
of proceedings or the taking of any other action by the PBGC or
the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity or any
Multiemployer Plan with respect to the withdrawal from, or the
terminating, Reorganization or Insolvency of, any Plan; and
(g) any development or event which has had or could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each notice
pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by a statement of
a Responsible Officer setting forth details of the occurrence
referred to therein and stating what action the Borrower
proposes to take with respect thereto. 6.9 Environmental Laws.
(a) Comply with, and ensure compliance by all tenants and
subtenants, if any, with, all applicable Environmental Laws and
obtain and comply with and maintain, and ensure that all tenants
and subtenants obtain and comply with and maintain, any and all
licenses, approvals, notifications, registrations or permits
required by applicable Environmental Laws. (b) Conduct and
complete all investigations, studies, sampling and testing, and
all remedial, removal and other actions required under
Environmental Laws and promptly comply with all lawful orders
and directives of all Governmental Authorities regarding
Environmental Laws. 6.10 Periodic Audit of Collateral. The
Lender shall be entitled to perform due diligence inspections,
tests and reviews of the Collateral of the Borrower on any
Business Day at any time and from time to time as often as the
Lender shall determine to be necessary or desirable and shall in
each case be satisfied in all material respects with the results
thereof and the Borrower shall bear the reasonable expenses of
the Lender in connection with each such inspection, test and
review. 6.11 Protection of Collateral. The Borrower shall
defend and protect its title to, its possession of and the
Lender's Lien in the Collateral against all claims, Liens,
demands, penalties and rights asserted by any Person or Persons
other than Liens permitted under Section 7.3. Without
derogating the obligation of the Borrower under Section 7.20, in
the event that the Borrower enters into any Aircraft Lease or
acquires any interest in any property that is not subject to a
perfected Lien in favor of the Lender pursuant to the Security
Documents, the Borrower shall take such action (including,
without limitation, the preparation and filing of financing
statements and aircraft chattel mortgage in form and substance
satisfactory to the Lender) as the Lender shall request in order
to create and/or perfect a first priority Lien in favor of the
Lender on such property. 6.12 Compliance with Airworthiness
Directives. Each Aircraft shall at all times during which it
is registered with any Governmental Authority under any
Requirement of Law, including without limitation registration
with the FAA under the Federal Aviation Act, and in passenger or
cargo service operation have an appropriate, currently effective
airworthiness certificate issued by the Governmental Authority
of the jurisdiction of its registration and shall be in
compliance with all Airworthiness Directives applicable to the
Aircraft. All Airworthiness Directives shall be accomplished in
accordance with all applicable bulletins and manuals published
by the manufacturer of the Airframe or Aircraft Engines or
Aircraft Parts or FAA-approved or other applicable Governmental
Authority-approved data. The Borrower may determine not to have
or maintain any airworthiness certificate or comply with any
such Airworthiness Directive in respect of or applicable to any
Aircraft that is not in passenger or cargo operation, if the
Borrower gives to the Lender notice of such determination no
less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the termination or
expiration of any airworthiness certificate in effect with
respect to such Aircraft or such non-compliance, as the case may
be, and five (5) Business Days after Receipt by the Borrower of
notice of such Airworthiness Directive and, further, if the
effect thereof is to materially decrease the fair market value
or Forced Liquidation Value of such Aircraft, the Borrower
provides at the expense of the Borrower to the Lender in advance
an Appraisal of such Aircraft which gives effect to such
termination, expiration or non-compliance. 6.13 Replacement of
Aircraft Parts. The Borrower shall promptly replace or cause to
be replaced all Aircraft Parts that may from time to time be
incorporated or installed in or attached to any Airframe or any
Aircraft Engine comprising part of an Approved Aircraft that may
from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed,
seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently
rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever, except as
otherwise provided in Section 6.14. In addition, the Borrower
(or any lessee) may remove in the ordinary course of
maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, any Aircraft
Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized,
confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit
for use, provided that the Borrower (or any lessee), except as
otherwise provided in Section 6.14, shall replace such Aircraft
Parts as promptly as practicable. Replacement Aircraft Parts
shall be owned by the Borrower free and clear of all Liens
(except for Liens permitted under paragraphs (a), (b) and (i) of
Section 7.3, pooling arrangements to the extent permitted by
Section 6.20 and except for replacement property temporarily
installed on an emergency basis) and shall be in as good
operating condition as, and shall have a value and utility at
least equal to, the Aircraft Parts replaced, assuming such
replaced Aircraft Parts were in the condition and repair
required to be maintained by the terms hereof. Aircraft Parts
at any time removed from the Airframe or any Aircraft Engine
comprising an Approved Aircraft that must be replaced as
provided in this Section shall remain subject to the Lien of the
Lender, no matter where located, until such time as such
Aircraft Parts shall be replaced by Aircraft Parts that have
been incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe
or such Aircraft Engine and that meet the requirements for
replacement parts specified above. Immediately upon any
replacement part becoming incorporated or installed in or
attached to any such Airframe or any such Aircraft Engine as
above provided, without further act (subject only to Permitted
Liens and any pooling arrangements to the extent permitted by
Section 6.20 and except for replacement property temporarily
installed on an emergency basis), (i) such replacement Aircraft
Part shall become subject to this Agreement and be deemed part
of such Airframe or such Aircraft Engine for all purposes hereof
to the same extent as the Aircraft Parts originally incorporated
or installed in or attached to such Airframe or such Aircraft
Engine, and (ii) the replaced Aircraft Part shall be free and
clear of the Lien of the Lender, and shall no longer be deemed
an Aircraft Part hereunder. 6.14 Alterations, Modifications and
Additions. Subject to Section 6.13, the Borrower, at its own
expense, shall make (or cause to be made) such alterations and
modifications in and additions to the Approved Aircraft as may
be required from time to time to meet the applicable standards
of the FAA or any other Governmental Authority in which such
Aircraft may then be registered; provided, however, that the
Borrower (or, if a Lease is then in effect, any lessee) may in
good faith contest the validity or application of any
Requirement of Law in any reasonable manner that does not
materially adversely affect the Lender or materially adversely
affect the use or diminish the value of the Approved Aircraft;
provided, further, that the Borrower's failure to make (or cause
to be made) any such alterations or modifications shall not
constitute noncompliance with the requirements of this Section
6.14 or a breach of the Borrower's undertaking hereunder for so
long a period as may be necessary to remedy such failure, if
such failure was not caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of the Borrower and can be remedied, so long as
during such period the Borrower (or any lessee) is using due
diligence and best efforts to remedy such failure. In addition,
the Borrower (or any lessee), may from time to time add further
parts or accessories and make such alterations and modifications
in and additions to the Approved Aircraft as the Borrower (or
any lessee) may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its
business, including, without limitation, removal of Aircraft
Parts that the Borrower (or any lessee) deems obsolete or no
longer suitable or appropriate for use on the Approved Aircraft;
provided that no such alteration, modification, removal or
addition shall diminish the value or utility of the Approved
Aircraft or materially impair the condition or impair the
airworthiness thereof, below the value, utility, condition or
airworthiness thereof immediately prior to such alteration,
modification, removal or addition assuming the Approved Aircraft
was then of the value and utility and in the condition and
airworthiness required to be maintained by the terms of this
Agreement. The Borrower (or any lessee) may, at any time, so
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, remove or suffer to be removed any Aircraft Part,
provided that such Aircraft Part (i) is in addition to, and not
in replacement of or substitution for, any Aircraft Part
originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the
Approved Aircraft on the Closing Date or any Aircraft Part in
replacement of or substitution for any such Aircraft Part, (ii)
is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached
or added to the Approved Aircraft pursuant to the terms of
clause (a) of Section 6.5 or the first sentence of this Section
6.14, and (iii) can be removed from the Approved Aircraft
without diminishing or impairing the value, utility, condition
or airworthiness that the Approved Aircraft would have had at
such time had such alteration, modification or addition not
occurred. Upon the removal by the Borrower (or lessee) of any
Aircraft Part as provided above, such Aircraft Part shall no
longer be deemed part of the Approved Aircraft from which it was
removed. In addition, the Borrower may at any time remove
equipment, appliances and appurtenances (such as a video system)
owned by a third party that is in addition to Aircraft Parts so
long as such item is not required to be incorporated or
installed in or added to the Approved Aircraft pursuant to the
terms of clause (a) of Section 6.5 or the first sentence of this
Section 6.14, provided that such removal will not diminish the
value (determined as if such property had never been
incorporated or installed in or added to the Approved Aircraft)
or utility of the Approved Aircraft or materially impair the
condition of the Approved Aircraft. 6.15 Events of Loss.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to an
Aircraft, or the Airframe and the Aircraft Engines then
installed thereon, the Borrower shall promptly give the Lender
written notice of such Event of Loss and either prepay the Loans
pursuant to and as required by Section 3.3 hereof or, if such
Aircraft is an Approved Aircraft, with the consent of the Lender
in its sole discretion, substitute an Aircraft for such Approved
Aircraft. (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with
respect to an Aircraft Engine under circumstances in which there
has not occurred an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe
on which it is installed, the Borrower shall forthwith (and in
any event, within thirty (30) days after such occurrence) give
the Lender written notice thereof and shall promptly replace the
Aircraft Engine with another engine of the same make,
manufacturer and model as the Aircraft Engine (or replace any
Aircraft Engines on the related Aircraft so that all such
Aircraft Engines are of the same manufacturer, make and model
and are equivalent to or an improved model of the Aircraft
Engine being replaced and otherwise suitable for installation
and use on the Airframe) free and clear of all Liens (other than
Liens permitted pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) and (i) of
Section 7.3) and having a value and utility equal to or greater
than, and being in as good operating condition as, the Aircraft
Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred
(assuming that such Aircraft Engine had been maintained in
accordance with this Agreement). Prior to or at the time of any
such conveyance, the Borrower, at its own expense, will (a)
cause amendments to Schedule 1.1 hereof and to the related
Aircraft Chattel Mortgage to be duly executed by the Borrower
and, in the case of such Aircraft Chattel Mortgage, to be filed
for recording pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act, or the
applicable laws, rules and regulations or any other jurisdiction
in which the Airframe may then be registered, (b) furnish the
Lender with such evidence of compliance with the insurance
provisions of Section 6.6 hereof with respect to such
replacement aircraft engine as the Lender may reasonably
request, and (c) provide the Lender an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Lender concerning the absence of
Liens (other than Liens permitted pursuant to paragraphs (a),
(b) and (i) of Section 7.3) with respect to such replacement
engine. For all purposes hereof, each such replacement engine
shall, after such conveyance, be deemed part of the property
leased hereunder, and shall be deemed an Aircraft Engine. 6.16
Operation. Maintain, use, service, repair, overhaul and
operate the Aircraft, and cause all lessees to maintain, use,
service, repair, overhaul and operate the Aircraft, in
accordance with all applicable Requirements of Laws, and in
accordance with all airworthiness certificates, licenses and
registrations relating to the Aircraft issued by a Governmental

Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other
documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold the Lender
harmless from and against any and all other liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement,
performance and administration of this Agreement, the other
Credit Documents and any such other documents, including,
without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the
violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any
Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Borrower
or any of the Properties (all the foregoing in this clause (d),
collectively, the "indemnified liabilities"), provided, that the
Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to the Lender with
respect to indemnified liabilities arising from (i) the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender or (ii) legal
proceedings commenced against the Lender by any security holder
or creditor thereof arising out of and based upon rights
afforded any such security holder or creditor solely in its
capacity as such. The agreements in this Section shall survive
repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a)
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the Borrower and the Lender and their respective successors
and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without
the prior written consent of the Lender and Lender may not
assign or transfer, or grant any participations in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement except pursuant to
this Section 9.6. (b) The Lender may, in the ordinary course
of its commercial banking business and in accordance with
applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other
entities ("Participants") participating interests in any Loan
owing to the Lender, any Facility of the Lender or any other
interest of the Lender hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents. In the event of any such sale by the Lender of a
participating interest to a Participant, the Lender's
obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, the Lender shall remain solely
responsible for the performance thereof, the Lender shall remain
the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and the Borrower shall
continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in
connection with the Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The Borrower agrees
that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or
unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and
payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each
Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its
participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to
the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest
were owing directly to it as the Lender under this Agreement.
The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled
to the benefits of Section 3.6, 3.13 and 9.5 with respect to its
participation in the Facilities and the Loans outstanding from
time to time as if it was the Lender; provided that, in the case
of Section 3.6, such Participant shall have complied with the
requirements of said Section and, provided, further, that no
Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount
pursuant to any such Section than the Lender would have been
entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the
participation transferred by the Lender to such Participant had
no such transfer occurred. (c) The Lender may, in the ordinary
course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with
applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any
affiliate of the Lender or to an additional bank or financial
institution ("Assignee") all or any part of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
Upon notification to Borrower of Lender's intent to make such
assignment then Borrower shall cooperate with the Lender to (i)
amend the Credit Agreement and other loan documents to provide
for such assignment, (ii) provide for additional lenders and for
an agent to act on behalf of such lenders and (iii) take all
other actions that are reasonably required by the Lender and on
such terms that are customary for this type of assignment. In
the event of any assignment to Assignee which is not an
affiliate of BNY, the Lender shall give written notice thereof
to the Borrower and the Borrower shall have the right to prepay
the Loans in whole but not in part without penalty or premium
(including without limitation, any early termination fee set
forth in Section 3.10) at any time within sixty (60) days of the
delivery of such notice. (d) The Borrower authorizes the Lender
to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a
"Transferee") and any prospective Transferee any and all
financial information in the Lender's possession concerning the
Borrower and its Affiliates which has been delivered to the
Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement or which has been delivered to the Lender by or on
behalf of the Borrower in connection with the Lender's credit
evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming
a party to this Agreement provided that such prospective
Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by the provisions of
Section 9.15. (e) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this
Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section
concerning assignments of Loans relate only to absolute
assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments
creating security interests, including, without limitation, any
pledge or assignment by the Lender of any Loan to any Federal
Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law. 9.7 Set-off.
In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lender provided by
law, the Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to
the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the
Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any
amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise)
to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or
claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any
time held or owing by the Lender or any branch or agency thereof
to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. The Lender
agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off
and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application. 9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may
be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on
any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile
transmission of signature pages hereto), and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one
and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement
signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and
the Lender. 9.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement
which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
9.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents
represent the agreement of the Borrower and the Lender with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises,
undertakings, representations or warranties by the Lender
relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or
referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.
