Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document, Grantor does not have any authority, express or implied, to assign, transfer, lease, exchange, pool or otherwise dispose of any item or portion of the Collateral or interest therein.
(d) Concurrently with the acquisition of any aircraft engine or spare part (other than any aircraft engine or spare part excluded from the definition of “Collateral” pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii)), Grantor shall execute and deliver, in form for recordation, all applicable Supplemental Schedules with respect to such Collateral and, in the case of an Engine that is an Eligible Spare Engine, obtain manufacturer’s consent, if necessary, to assign the rights of any Warranties to the Agent.

(D) an opinion of Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Professional Corporation or other qualified counsel in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma reasonably acceptable to agent, with a supporting priority search certificate, as to the registrations with the International Registry referred to above and the absence of other registrations with the International Registry and the due recordation of the Supplemental Schedule and all other documents or instruments with the FAA, the International Registry, or other registrar or agency, which is necessary to perfect and protect the rights of the Agent in the Additional Engine;
(E) to the extent that an engine warranty in respect of such Additional Engine is available to Grantor, an engine warranty assignment in favor of Grantor covering such Additional Engine and, in the case of an Engine that is an Eligible Spare Engine, a manufacturer’s consent, if necessary, to assign the rights of any Warranties to the Agent; and

Grantor shall promptly cause any such damage or destruction to be repaired in accordance with the FARs and the manufacturer recommendations.

This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement and the repayment of the Secured Obligations.
(b) Grantor shall, upon demand, pay to Agent (or Agent, may charge to the Loan Account) all the Lender Group Expenses which Agent may incur in connection with (i) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Agent hereunder or (iii) the failure by Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

Grantor will take such further actions, including the execution and delivery of such additional agreements and other documents (including a legal opinion as set forth in Section 2.4) as may, in the reasonable opinion of Agent, be advisable to provide Agent with the benefits of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code.

5. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Grantor, at its own cost and expense, shall take all such actions as the Agent or any Lender from time to time may request in its reasonable discretion, so as to ensure that the Agent has or obtains the fullest benefit, protection, and advantages under the Cape Town Treaty.

7. AGENT’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an Event of Default:
7.1. Rights and Remedies.
(a) Agent may, and, at the instruction of the Required Lenders, shall, exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, Agent without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantor to, and Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Agent and make it available to Agent at one or more locations requested by Agent, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code. Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Grantor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the Code. Grantor agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and Grantor is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the Code.
(b) Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time, at the expense of Grantor, make all such expenditures for the payment of taxes, insurance, storage and other expenses related to the Collateral and for remarketing, maintenance, modifications, refurbishments, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral, as it may deem proper. In each such case, Agent shall have the right to maintain, use, operate, store, lease, control or manage the Collateral and to exercise all rights and powers of Grantor relating to the Collateral in connection therewith, as Agent shall deem appropriate, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, modification, refurbishment, insurance, use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as Agent may determine; and Agent shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits of the Collateral and every
part thereof. Grantor shall pay on demand, and any such tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits may be applied to pay, all expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the foregoing and any and all other expenses of possession, use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral, and of all maintenance, modification, refurbishment, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and all payments which Agent may be required or may elect, to make, if any, for Taxes, insurance, storage or other charges assessed against or otherwise imposed upon the exercise of any rights under any of the Loan Documents or the Collateral or any part thereof (including the employment of agents for the remarketing of the Collateral for sale or lease, and appraisers, technicians, engineers and accountants to examine, inspect and make reports upon the properties and books and records of Grantor), and all other payments which Agent or any Lender may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Agent, and of all Persons engaged or employed by Agent.
(c) Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without liability for royalties or any other charge, Grantor’s intellectual property, including but not limited to, any labels, patents, trademarks, trade names, uniform resource locators, domain names, industrial designs, copyrights, and advertising matter, whether owned by Grantor or with respect to which Grantor has rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements (including any intellectual property license) as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and any of Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall, to the extent permitted thereunder or by applicable law, inure to the benefit of Agent on a non-exclusive basis and solely in aid of Agent’s security interest in the Collateral or the liquidation or other disposition thereof.
(d) Any cash held by Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Secured Obligations in full, Grantor shall remain liable for any such deficiency.
(e) Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Agent shall have the right to seek, and, at the instruction of the Required Lenders shall seek, the appointment of a receiver for the Collateral.
7.2. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider as provided for in this Agreement, in the other Loan Documents or in any Bank Product Agreement now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Bank Product Agreements now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider, of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Agent, such other member of the Lender Group or such Bank Product Provider of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.
7.3. Marshaling. Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or
under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
8. WAIVERS; LIABILITY.
8.1. Demand; Protest; etc. To the extent permitted by law, Grantor waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Agent on which Grantor may in any way be liable.
8.2. Agent’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Agent complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code, Agent shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, except in the case of each of clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) above, for any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. All risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Grantor. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose on it any duty to exercise such powers. Except as provided in the Code, Agent shall not have any duty with respect to the Collateral or any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other Persons with respect to any Collateral.

13. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
13.1. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Grantor and accepted and executed by Agent.
13.2. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments under Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement (including Section 1.4 thereof) and the Commitments have expired or have been terminated, (b) be binding upon Grantor, and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that Grantor may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without prior written consent of Agent and Lenders and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Agent, and its successors, transferees and assigns. Grantor consents to any change in the identity of the Agent on the International Registry occasioned by any assignment by Agent, and if required by the International Registry to reflect such change, will provide its consent thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by Grantor to Agent nor any additional Advances or other loans made by any Lender to Borrower, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantor by Agent, nor any other act of the Lender Group shall release Grantor from any obligation hereunder, except a release or discharge executed in writing by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Agent shall not by any act,
delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Agent of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which Agent would otherwise have had on any other occasion.
13.3. Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Agent, Lenders, or Grantor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.
13.4. Severability of Provisions. 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 portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
13.5. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be modified, amended or waived except by the written agreement of the parties to this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, Agent may re-execute this Agreement, modify, amend or supplement the Schedules hereto or execute a supplemental Security Agreement, as provided herein, and the terms of any such modification, amendment, supplement or supplemental Security Agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by this reference.
13.6. Security Interest Absolute. To the maximum extent permitted by law, all rights of Agent, all Security Interests hereunder, and all obligations of Grantor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any of the Loan Documents, any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b) any exchange, release, or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any Loan Document; or
(c) any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Grantor.
13.7. Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.
13.8. Termination; Release. Subject to Section 13.9, when the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in accordance with Section 1.3 and the Commitments shall have
expired or been irrevocably terminated, this Agreement shall terminate and all rights in the Collateral shall revert to Grantor. Agent, at the request and sole expense of Grantor, will promptly execute and deliver to Grantor the necessary instruments (including Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and consents to the discharge of the Agent’s International Interests in the Engines) acknowledging the termination of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to Grantor, without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, such of the Collateral as may be in possession of Agent and has not theretofore been disposed of, applied or released.
13.9. Reinstatement; Certain Payments. If any claim is ever made upon Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by Agent or such Lender in payment or on account of any of the Secured Obligations, Agent or such Lender shall give prompt notice of such claim to, as applicable, Agent, Lender and Grantor, and if Agent or such Lender repays all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over Agent or such Lender or any of its property, or (ii) any good faith settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by Agent or such Lender with any such claimant, then and in such event Grantor agrees that (A) any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the cancellation of any Indebtedness hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or the termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (B) it shall be and remain liable to Agent or such Lender hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Agent or such Lender.
13.10. Security Agreement; Credit Agreement.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement are supplemental to the provisions of the Security Agreement. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Engine and Spare Parts provisions of the Security Agreement, it is the intention of the parties thereto that such provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control.
(b) The provisions of this Agreement are supplemental to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Engine and Spare Parts provisions of the Credit Agreement, it is the intention of the parties thereto that such provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement shall control.
13.11. Agent. Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Agent” shall be a reference to Agent, for the benefit of each member of the Lender Group and each Bank Product Provider.
13.12. Agent May Perform.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent (or its designee) (a) may proceed to perform any and all of the obligations of Grantor contained in any contract, lease, or other agreement constituting or evidencing the Collateral and exercise any and all rights of Grantor therein contained as fully as Grantor itself could, and (b) shall have the right to use Grantor’s rights under any intellectual property licenses, to the extent permitted thereunder, in connection with the enforcement of Agent’s rights hereunder, including the right to prepare for sale and sell any and all Collateral now or hereafter owned by Grantor and now or hereafter covered by such licenses.
(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and if Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantor.
13.13. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Agreement is a Loan Document. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis. The parties recognize that the FAA currently requires original signatures on all documents submitted for filing with the FAA and each party agrees to provide an original executed counterpart of this Agreement to be filed with the FAA.
(b) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.
(c) Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.
(d) The pronouns used herein shall include, when appropriate, either gender and both singular and plural, and the grammatical construction of sentences shall conform thereto.
13.14. Registrations with the International Registry. Agent and Grantor agree that the Engines shall be considered an “aircraft object” under the Cape Town Treaty regardless of whether or not they are installed on an airframe as of the date of this Agreement. Grantor consents to the registration with the International Registry of the International Interests granted under this Agreement (or any Supplemental Schedule), and covenants and agrees that it will take all such action reasonably requested by Agent in order to make any applicable registrations with the International Registry, including becoming a registered user entity with the International Registry and providing consents to any registration as may be contemplated by this Agreement.
13.15. Amendment and Restated; No Novation.
(a) This Agreement amends, restates, supersedes, and replaces in its entirety the Original Engine and Spare Parts Security Agreement. The security interests granted by Grantor to any of Agent or the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers in the Collateral under the Original Engine and Spare Parts Security Agreement continue without interruption under this Agreement to secure the Secured Obligations and such security interests are hereby reaffirmed, ratified and confirmed in all respects.
(b) Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution, novation, discharge or release of the obligations or liabilities outstanding under the Original Engine and Spare Parts Security Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall be construed as a release or other
discharge of Grantor from any of its obligations or liabilities under the Original Engine and Spare Parts Security Agreement, except as expressly modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith. Grantor hereby confirms and agrees that on and after the date hereof all references in any Loan Document to “the Engine and Spare Parts Security Agreement,” “thereto,” “thereof,” “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Original Engine and Spare Parts Security Agreement shall be a reference to the Original Engine and Spare Parts Security Agreement as amended and restated by this Agreement.
