applicable, or any date during such ten Business Day period
thereafter.
Section
2.4 Special
Reports.
The
Policy Provider (or, if a Policy Provider Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Mortgagee at the direction of the Controlling Party) may (i)
if
the Company defaults in any of its obligations with respect to indebtedness
of
the Company in an outstanding principal amount greater than $100,000,000 which
results in the acceleration of the Company’s obligation to pay such indebtedness
in full prior to its stated final maturity date, at any time prior to the
payment of such indebtedness or the reversal of such acceleration, or (ii)
if an
Event of Default occurs, at any time while such Event of Default is continuing,
request by written notice to the Company that the Company furnish to the Policy
Provider (with copies to the Mortgagee and the Rating Agencies) a special
Independent Appraiser’s Certificate. Any such special Independent Appraiser’s
Certificate shall state, in the opinion of such Independent Appraiser, based
upon use of the Annual Methodology, the following:
|
(a)
|
the
Fair Market Value of the Collateral (excluding any Cash Collateral
and,
for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded Parts) as of a specified
date
within the Permitted Days preceding the date of such Certificate
(the
“Special
Valuation Date”
and, together with each Annual Valuation Date and Semiannual Valuation
Date, the “Valuation
Dates”);
|
|
(b)
|
the
Fair Market Value of the Rotables and of the Expendables included

during the Section 1110
Period or (ii) to deliver pursuant to this Article 2 an Independent
Appraiser’s Certificate more than twice in any six month period. Upon written
request of the Policy Provider given to the Company within twenty Business
Days
after delivery to the Policy Provider of a special Independent Appraiser’s
Certificate under this Section 2.4, the Company shall furnish to the Policy
Provider (with copies to the Mortgagee and the Rating Agencies) a recent Parts
Inventory Report and a report showing the percentage of the total cost of the
Pledged Spare Parts located at each Company facility (determined as provided
in
the last sentence of Section 2.1) as of the same date as the date of such Parts
Inventory Report.
Section
2.5 Information
from the Mortgagee.
The
Fair Market Value of any Investment Securities included in the Cash Collateral
for purposes of this Agreement shall be determined by the Mortgagee in
accordance with customary financial market practices. The Mortgagee shall inform
the Company of the principal amount of the Series G Equipment Notes outstanding,
the principal amount of the Series B Equipment Notes outstanding and the Fair
Market Value of any Investment Securities included in the Collateral, in each
case as of any Valuation Date or for purposes of Section 3.1,
promptly after the Company’s request for such information.
Section
2.6 Independent
Appraiser.
If the
Policy Provider (or, if a Policy Provider Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Mortgagee at the direction of the Controlling Party) has a
reasonable basis for concluding that the performance of the Independent
Appraiser that executed the most recent Independent Appraiser’s Certificate
delivered pursuant to Article 2 was not satisfactory, the Policy Provider
(or, if a Policy Provider Default has occurred and is continuing, the Mortgagee
at the direction of the Controlling Party) may designate another Independent
Appraiser to perform the next required appraisal under this Article 2 by
written notice given to the Company within 90 days after the date of such
most recent Independent Appraiser’s Certificate. The Company shall use such
other Independent Appraiser designated by the Policy Provider (or the Mortgagee,
as the case may be) for the next appraisal unless it gives the Policy Provider
(or the Mortgagee, as the case may be) written notice of reasonable objection
to
the use of such other Independent Appraiser.

leases to Permitted Lessees or loans to other Persons (together, “Loans”)
shall
not exceed 3% of the Appraised Value of the Collateral or (z) previously
during such Applicable Period moved from a Designated Location to a location
not

pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Trust Indenture in an aggregate principal
amount not less than the principal amount of the Series G Equipment Notes
outstanding as of a date specified by the Company within 60 days prior to the

only
Aircraft of such Aircraft Model or Engines utilized only on such Aircraft,
and
the denominator of which shall be the Appraised Value of the Collateral. If

days is less than the Specified Minimum (as defined below) for such
Aircraft
Model (other than due to restrictions on operating such Aircraft imposed by

Appraised Value of the Pledged Spare Parts that are appropriate for
incorporation in, installation on, attachment or appurtenance to, or use in
only
Aircraft of such Aircraft Model or Engines utilized only on such Aircraft,

Party) and its authorized representatives (the “Inspecting
Parties”)
may
(not more than once every 12 months unless an Event of Default has occurred

as
the case may be) shall not have any duty or liability to make, or any duty
or
liability by reason of not making, any such visit, inspection or
survey.
(d) Each
Inspecting Party shall bear its own expenses in connection with any such

any Person, other than the parties hereto, any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or under any covenant, condition
or provision herein contained, all such covenants, conditions and provisions,
subject to Section 4.6 hereof, being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto,
