shall perform any and all acts and execute any and all additional instruments
and documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, the

the rights and remedies hereunder or thereunder of the Holders including,

regulations promulgated thereunder or under any other appropriate law or
regulatory scheme applicable to the Collateral.
Section 4.02 Taxes. The Company will promptly pay and discharge all

times keep the Collateral and the Acquired Slots free and clear of all taxes,
assessments, fees, charges, fines and penalties of any kind which might in any
way affect the title thereto or result in a Lien which is not a Permitted
Collateral Lien upon any part or the whole of the Collateral or the Acquired
Slots; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or
discharge any taxes, assessments, fees, charges, fines or penalties of any kind
(i) whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which adequate provision has been made if
required in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time, or (ii) if the

Acquired Slot which may have attached as security therefor. If any expenses,

Agent, the Indenture Trustee or the Slot Trustee directly and, after notice to
the Company and opportunity to contest as aforesaid, paid by the Collateral
Agent, the Indenture Trustee or the Slot Trustee, the Company shall reimburse
the Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee or the Slot Trustee on presentation
of an invoice therefor.
5

provision of this Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee
or the Slot Trustee are the sole parties to, from, or with whom the Company
shall be obligated to communicate or receive any communication or notice,
negotiate, settle, or enter into any stipulation, agree upon or make factual
determinations, elections, or payments regarding any matter arising under this
Section 4.02. Any and all notices received or served by the Company from or upon
the Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee or the Slot Trustee shall be deemed
notice duly served from or upon the Company. The Company shall have no
obligation to communicate or deal with any parties except the Collateral Agent,
the Indenture Trustee or the Slot Trustee regarding any matter arising under
this Section 4.02.
The Company will, except as otherwise permitted under the first
paragraph of this Section 4.02, pay, and will save the Collateral Agent, the
Indenture Trustee and the Slot Trustee and the Holders harmless from, any stamp
taxes which shall be payable in connection with this Pledge Agreement, any
supplement or amendment hereof or the original issuance of the Securities.
If a written claim is made against the Collateral Agent, the Indenture
Trustee or the Slot Trustee or the Holders of Securities for any taxes,
assessments, fees, charges, fines, or penalties which are subject to payment or
indemnification by the Company under this Section 4.02, the Collateral Agent,
the Indenture Trustee or the Slot Trustee shall promptly notify the Company
thereof in writing. If requested by the Company in writing within thirty (30)
days (but twenty (20) days if the Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee or the
Slot Trustee received a 30-day statutory notice) of the notice to the Company,
the Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee or the Slot Trustee shall, at the
Company's expense and direction, for so long as the Collateral Agent, the
Indenture Trustee or the Slot Trustee reasonably believes that the Company is
acting in good faith and the Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee or the Slot
Trustee have received adequate indemnification therefor, contest such taxes,
assessments, fees, charges, fines or penalties. The Company shall select the
forum for such contest and shall determine whether such contest shall be by:
(a) resisting or refusing payment of such taxes, assessments, fees,
charges, fines or penalties; or
(b) not paying such taxes, assessments, fees, charges, fines or
penalties except under protest; or
(c) paying such taxes, assessments, fees, charges, fines, or penalties
and seeking a refund thereof.
If permissible under applicable law, the Collateral Agent, the
Indenture Trustee or the Slot Trustee shall assign its right to contest the
imposition or levy of any such tax, assessment, fees, charges, fines or
penalties to the Company.

(a) shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, at all times all
Pledged Spare Parts in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations,
orders, directives and instructions issued by the FAA or any other governmental
authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any such Collateral, including
making any modifications, alterations, replacements and additions necessary
therefor;
(b) shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, all records, logs and
other materials required by the FAA or under the Federal Aviation Act to be
maintained in respect of any Pledged Spare Parts and shall retain complete
copies thereof to the extent necessary to insure that the value of such Pledged
Spare Parts will not be materially diminished for lack of a full maintenance
history;
(c) shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, every Pledged Spare
Part in good order and condition, shall perform all maintenance thereon
necessary for that purpose and shall obtain all necessary recertification
thereof and shall maintain generally the quality and makeup (by type and class)

Section 4.04 Event of Loss; Use in the Ordinary Course of Business;
------------------------------------------------------
Release; Thresholds; Effect of Release; Substitution.
----------------------------------------------------
(a) Event of Loss. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with
respect to any Operative Collateral, the Company shall give the Collateral Agent
prompt notice thereof and shall satisfy the applicable Substitution
Requirements.
Upon compliance by the Company with its obligations above and upon
Request by the Company, payment by the Company of the Collateral Agent's and
Slot Trustee's costs (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) in
connection therewith and satisfaction of any applicable requirements of the TIA,
the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the required documents releasing,
assigning and transferring all of the right, title and interest of the
Collateral Agent in and to the Collateral which is the subject of such Event of
Loss to the Company or its designee, whereupon such Collateral shall cease to be
Collateral for all purposes hereof.
(b) Use in the Ordinary Course of Business. So long as no Event of
Default shall exist, the Company shall have the right, at any time and from time
to time at its own cost and expense, without any release from or consent by the
Collateral Agent, to deal with (but not, except as expressly otherwise permitted
under this Pledge Agreement, to sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of,
or relinquish possession of) the Operative Collateral in any manner consistent
with the Company's Ordinary Course Of Business, including without limitation any
of the following:
With respect to the Pledged Spare Parts:
(A) to dismantle any Pledged Spare Part that has become worn out
or obsolete or unfit for use, and either in the Ordinary Course or
pursuant to sales permitted under Section 4.04(c), to sell or dispose
of other parts thereof not reasonably
7
repairable or usable or any salvage resulting from such dismantling,
free from the Lien of this Pledge Agreement;
(B) to apply and use in the Ordinary Course Of Business, free
from the Lien of this Pledge Agreement, any Pledged Spare Parts for
installation or use in or for use in connection with any aircraft,
aircraft engines, propellers or appliances or spare parts owned or
operated by the Company; and
(C) to transfer any or all of the Pledged Spare Parts located at
one or more Designated Locations to one or more other Designated
Locations or one or more additional locations that are to be
designated as Designated Locations or either in the Ordinary Course or
pursuant to sales permitted under Section 4.04(c), to one or more
locations which are not Designated Locations.
(c) Release of Non-Slot Collateral. (i) The Company shall comply with this
Section 4.04(c) and the Substitution Requirements in connection with and (except
as provided in Section 4.05(a)(iv)) at or prior to the completion of any sale
(other than sales permitted under paragraphs (ii) or (iii) of this Section
4.04(c)) or deemed sale of Operative Collateral under this Pledge Agreement.
Upon Request by the Company, payment by the Company of the Collateral Agent's
costs (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in complying
with such Request and satisfaction of the applicable Substitution Requirements,
and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would
result therefrom, the Collateral Agent shall release from the Lien of this
Pledge Agreement, assign and transfer to the Company or its designee at any
time, all the right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent in and to any
Operative Collateral that is the subject of (A) a contract of sale pursuant to
which the Company in the Ordinary Course has agreed to sell such Operative
Collateral on an arm's-length basis to an unaffiliated third party within ninety
(90) days after the date of such release, which contract contains only closing
conditions that are customary to a sale of that kind at that time and which sale
is not a "sale/leaseback" or other similar transaction used by the Company as a
financing vehicle, or (B) a deemed sale under this Section or Section
4.05(a)(iv) or 4.05(c) hereof; provided, however, that, so long as no Event of
Default then exists, (1) the Company shall not be so required to satisfy the
Substitution Requirements with respect to Pledged Spare Parts disposed of in the
Ordinary Course or pursuant to sales permitted by paragraphs (ii) or (iii) of
this Section 4.04(c), (2) the lien hereof shall automatically be released
concurrently with such disposition described in clause (1) above and without any
further action, and (3) such disposition shall be free and clear of any lien or
security interest created hereby. If Pledged Spare Parts cannot conveniently be
disposed of in the Ordinary Course because the Company has not maintained the
Pledged Parts Threshold or if the Company otherwise elects to reduce the Pledged
Parts Threshold, the Company may reduce the Pledged Parts Threshold upon
satisfying the applicable Substitution Requirements.
(ii) The Company may sell for cash Pledged Spare Parts in the Ordinary
Course of Business (other than any sale, whether in a single transaction
8
or a related group or series of transactions, of Pledged Spare Parts having
an aggregate value as reflected on the Inventory Control System in excess
of $10,000,000), so long as either (A) the net proceeds of any such sale
are deposited with the Collateral Agent to be held as additional Cash
Collateral hereunder or (B) the aggregate value as reflected on the
Inventory Control System of the Pledged Spare Parts remaining after giving
effect to such sale is equal to or greater than the Pledged Parts
Threshold.
(iii) The Company may sell for cash Pledged Spare Parts having an
aggregate value as reflected on the Inventory Control System in excess of
$10,000,000 (whether in a single transaction or a related group or series
of transactions), if the net proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 of such sale
or sales are deposited with the Collateral Agent to be held as additional
Cash Collateral hereunder.
(iv) The Collateral Agent shall return to the Company any net
proceeds deposited pursuant to paragraphs (ii) or (iii) above upon Request
therefor if at any time the Security Ratio requirements are met (which, for
this purpose shall be at least 1.93 over 1), and the Collateral Agent has
received a Company Appraiser's Certificate (which, for purposes of this
Section 4.04(c)(iv), need not be based on an actual physical inspection of
the Collateral so long as it is based on a full appraisal which included
such physical inspection performed by the same Independent Appraiser
furnishing such Company Appraiser's Certificate and such physical
inspection was conducted no earlier than 20 months prior to the date of
such Company Appraiser's Certificate) dated as of a date within thirty (30)
days of the date such net proceeds are to be returned, stating (A) the Fair
Market Values, by type and category and in reasonable detail, of all assets
or groups of assets required for the computation of the Security Ratio and
(B) the Security Ratio, in each case after giving effect to the return of
such proceeds.
(d) Effect of Release. No purchaser in good faith of property purporting to
be released, assigned and transferred pursuant hereto shall be bound to
ascertain the authority of the Collateral Agent to execute the release,
assignment and transfer or to inquire as to the existence of any conditions
herein prescribed for the exercise of such authority; nor shall any purchaser or
grantee of any property or rights permitted by this Article 4 to be sold,
granted or otherwise disposed of by the Company be under any obligation to
ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Company to make any such sale,
grant or other disposition. Any release, assignment and transfer executed by the
Collateral Agent under this Section 4.04 shall be sufficient for the purposes of
this Pledge Agreement and shall constitute a good and valid release, assignment
and transfer of the Property therein described from ownership of the Collateral
Agent and the Lien of this Pledge Agreement.
(e) Substitution. If and whenever the Company shall be required or
permitted to subject any additional Property to the Lien of this Pledge
Agreement that is not already so subject pursuant to any provision of this
Pledge Agreement or pursuant to the terms of the Master Sub-
9
License Agreement or the Indenture, the Company will furnish to the Collateral
Agent the following:
(i) a Supplemental Pledge Agreement duly executed by the Company,
appropriately describing, identifying and locating such Property or the
location that is to become a Designated Location and specifically
subjecting the same to the Lien of this Pledge Agreement;
(ii) in the case of Spare Parts, cash, Investment Securities or
Property being subjected to the Lien of this Pledge Agreement, an Opinion
of Counsel, dated the date of execution of said Supplemental Pledge
Agreement, stating that:
(1) said Supplemental Pledge Agreement: (a) has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and (b) except
in the case of a Supplemental Pledge Agreement relating to
Pledged Spare Parts, validly subjects to the Lien of this Pledge
Agreement under applicable Federal and State laws all the right,
title and interest of the Company in and to the Property
specifically described in said Supplemental Pledge Agreement, or
in the case of a Supplemental Pledge Agreement relating to
Pledged Spare Parts, validly subjects to the Lien of this Pledge
Agreement under applicable Federal and State laws all the right,
title and interest of the Company in and to such of the Pledged
Spare Parts described in said Supplemental Pledge Agreement as
may from time to time be situated at the Designated Locations
within the United States, and only while so situated; and
(2) said Supplemental Pledge Agreement has been duly filed
for recording in accordance with the provisions of the Federal
Aviation Act, and either: (a) is not required to be filed or
recorded in any other place within the United States in order to

Agent hereunder, cause the sublessee, transferee, assignee or any other Person
(other than the Company) to be deemed to be the "Company" or an obligor on the

opinion of the Company, do not involve any material danger of the sale,
forfeiture or loss of any Collateral or any interest therein, (iv) in the case
of Operative Collateral or the Beneficial Interest (to the extent the Beneficial
Interest constitutes a general intangible under the New York Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect from time to time) any judgment Lien, unless the judgment it

amount the Company may be obligated to pay to any Person pursuant to this Pledge
Agreement other than an indemnification payment to a Person entitled to such
indemnification pursuant to the terms of Section 4.07

amount, applicability, extent or validity thereof in good faith by an
appropriate proceeding timely instituted, which, in the case of any Lien so
contested, shall operate to prevent the collection or satisfaction of such Lien,
and, in all cases in which the sale or forfeiture of the whole or any part of
such Collateral or the Acquired Slots shall be at issue, shall operate to

shall continue to be the holder of record of the Beneficial Interest and the
Beneficial Interest Certificate on the books of the Slot Trust.

shall be delivered to the Company, the Indenture Trustee and the Collateral
Agent at such time as the Company and Indenture Trustee shall agree and shall be
final and binding upon all parties.

appraisal which included such physical inspection performed by the same
Independent Appraiser furnishing such Company Appraiser's Certificate and such
physical inspection was conducted no earlier than 20 months prior to the date of
such Company Appraiser's Certificate) stating (A) the Fair Market Value, by type

such time as it actually delivers an inventory report for such month, the
Company shall be deemed to have delivered a monthly inventory report for such
month which indicates that the aggregate value of Pledged
17
Spare Parts is less than 60% of the value of the Pledged Spare Parts shown on
the inventory report delivered on the Issue Date.
(c) If (i) pursuant to Section 4.14(a)(ii), the Company elects to increase
the amount of Cash Collateral so that the Maintenance Ratio is at or above 1.2
to 1 and (ii) at any time thereafter the Maintenance Ratio is at or above 1.5 to
1 then, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would
result therefrom, upon Request by the Company the liens and security interests
created hereby in such Cash Collateral held hereunder (in an aggregate amount
not to exceed the amount of such increase) shall be released and terminated, but

contribution from any other insurance carried by the Collateral Agent, and
(B) name the Collateral Agent as additional insured under a standard

covering loss or damage to any Collateral shall name the Collateral Agent
as loss payee under a standard mortgagee clause and shall provide that

the notice specified above, shall provide for as long a period of prior notice

the Company from carrying additional insurance in excess of that required
hereunder in respect of any Collateral at its own expense.

advance payments or deposits requested by the person making such repair) or

upon the acceleration of the obligations of the Company under the Securities and
the Indenture (as applied to the Slot Collateral) and so long as such Event of
Default shall not have been cured or waived and/or such acceleration shall not
have been rescinded, as the case may be, the Collateral Agent shall have, in
addition to all other rights given by law or by the Pledge Agreement or the
other Operative Documents, all the rights and remedies with respect to the

by its agents enter upon the premises of the Company or of any sublessee where
any part or the whole of such type of the Collateral may be and take possession
of any part or the whole of such type of the Collateral and withdraw the same
from said premises, retaining all payments which up to that time may have been
made on account of such type of the Collateral and otherwise, and shall be
entitled to collect, receive and retain all unpaid charges of any kind earned by
such type of the Collateral or any part thereof, and may lease such portion of
the Collateral or any part thereof, or with or without retaking possession
thereof sell the same or any part thereof, free from any and all claims of the
Company at law or in equity, in one lot and as an entirety or in separate lots,

private sale with or without advertisement, for cash or upon credit, in its
discretion, and may proceed otherwise to enforce its

rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities in the manner herein
provided. Upon any such sale, the Collateral Agent itself may bid for the
Property offered for sale or any part thereof. Any such sale may be held or
conducted at such place and at such time as the Collateral Agent may specify, or
as may be required by law, and without gathering at the place of sale the
Collateral to be sold, and in general in such manner as the Collateral Agent may
determine, but so that the Company may and shall have a reasonable opportunity
to bid at any such sale. Subject to the second paragraph of Section 6.02 hereof
and to Section 6.03 hereof, upon such taking possession or withdrawal or lease
or sale of part or the whole of such type of the Collateral, the Company shall
cease to have any rights or remedies in respect of such type of the Collateral
hereunder, but all such rights and remedies shall be deemed thenceforth to have
been waived and surrendered by the Company, and no payments theretofore made by
the Company for the rent or use of such type of the Collateral shall, in case of
the happening of any Event of Default and such taking possession, withdrawal,
lease or sale by the Collateral Agent, give to the Company any legal or
equitable interest or title in or to such type of the Collateral or any part of
it or any cause or right of action at law or in equity in respect of such type
of the Collateral against the Collateral Agent or the Holders of Securities. No
such taking possession, withdrawal, lease or sale of such type of the Collateral
by the Collateral Agent and no omission of or delay in taking any such action
shall be a bar to the recovery by the Collateral Agent from the Company of the
Obligations and the Collateral Agent may xxx for and collect, and the Company
shall be and remain liable for, the Obligations until such sums shall have been
realized as, with the proceeds of the lease or sale of such portion of the
Collateral if any shall be sufficient for the discharge of all of the
Obligations whether or not they shall have then matured. The Company hereby
expressly waives any and all claims against the Collateral Agent and its agent
or agents for damages of whatever nature in connection with any retaking of
Collateral in any commercially reasonable manner.
Upon any sale of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 6.01, whether made
under the power of sale hereby given or pursuant to judicial proceedings, to the
extent permitted by law:
A. the Collateral Agent may make and deliver to the purchaser or
purchasers a good and sufficient deed, xxxx of sale and instrument of assignment
and transfer of the property sold; and
B. the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and
lawful attorney of the Company, in its name and stead, to make all necessary
deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment and transfer of the property
thus sold; and for that purpose it may execute all necessary deeds, bills of
sale and instruments of assignment and transfer, and may substitute one or more
persons, firms or corporations with like power, the Company hereby ratifying and
confirming all that its said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall
lawfully do by virtue hereof; but if so requested by the Collateral Agent or by
any purchaser, the Company shall ratify and confirm any such sale or transfer by
executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent or to such purchaser or
purchasers all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment and
transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
Section 6.02 Application of Proceeds. If, in the case of the happening of
-----------------------
any Event of Default or acceleration, the Collateral Agent shall exercise any of
the powers conferred upon it
21
by Section 6.01 hereof, all payments made by the Company to the Collateral Agent
hereunder after such Event of Default, and the proceeds of any judgment
collected by the Collateral Agent hereunder, and the proceeds of every sale or
lease by the Collateral Agent hereunder of any part or the whole of the
Collateral, together with any other sums which may then be held by the
Collateral Agent under any of the provisions hereof, shall be applied by the
Collateral Agent in the manner set forth in Section 6.10 of the Indenture.
After all such payments shall have been made in full, the title to any part
or the whole of the Collateral remaining unsold and abandoned by the Collateral
Agent shall be conveyed by the Collateral Agent to the Company or its named
designee free from any further liabilities or obligations to the Collateral
Agent hereunder. If after applying all such sums of money realized by the
Collateral Agent as aforesaid there shall remain any amount due to the
Collateral Agent under the provisions hereof, the Company agrees to pay the
amount of such deficit to the Collateral Agent.
Section 6.03 Obligations of Company Not Affected by Remedies. No retaking
-----------------------------------------------
of possession of part or the whole of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent,
nor any withdrawal, lease or sale thereof, nor any action or failure or omission
to act against the Company or in respect of the Collateral, on the part of the
Collateral Agent or on the part of the Holder of any Securities, nor any delay
or indulgence granted to the Company by the Collateral Agent or by any such
Holder, shall affect the obligations of the Company hereunder. The Collateral
Agent may at any time upon notice in writing to the Company apply to any court
of competent jurisdiction for instructions as to the application and
distribution of the property held by it.
Section 6.04 Remedies Cumulative and Subject to Applicable Law. No right,
-------------------------------------------------
power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Collateral Agent, the
Indenture Trustee and the Slot Trustee and/or the Holders of the Securities is
intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy conferred upon or
reserved to any one or more of them and every right, power and remedy shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right,
power and remedy given hereunder or under the Indenture or the other Operative
Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise
(including, without limitation, under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect
in any applicable jurisdiction) and may be exercised from time to time and as
often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent, the
Indenture Trustee, the Slot Trustee and/or the Holders of the Securities. The
exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy shall not be construed as
a waiver of the right of any of them to exercise at the same time or thereafter
any other right, power or remedy, nor as an election precluding exercise at the
same time or thereafter of any alternative right, power or remedy. The exercise
of any right, power or remedy shall be subject to applicable law.

more banks or investment banking or brokerage institutions acting on its behalf,
and the Collateral Agent shall not have any liability for interest upon any such
money except as otherwise agreed with the Company.
(ii) At any time and from time to time, if no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to Section

or through one or more banks or investment banking or brokerage
institutions acting on its behalf.
(iii) Funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of
the Securities by the Collateral Agent on deposit with itself or elsewhere,
Investment Securities held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities, funds and/or Investment Securities held for the Company by the

9.02(b) shall each be held in distinct, identifiable accounts, and no other
funds or investments of any nature or from any source whatsoever may be
held in such accounts.
(iv) The Collateral Agent may sell any Investment

redemption of, Investment Securities.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing and so long as no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, any funds or Investment Securities held by the
Collateral Agent as Temporary Cash Collateral shall be held for the benefit of
the Holders of the Securities and shall be invested and reinvested by the
Collateral Agent in Investment Securities as specified in a Request. Any such
investments may be made by the Collateral Agent through its own bond or
investment department, or through one or more banks or investment banking or
brokerage institutions acting on its behalf if specified in such Request. No
later than six (6) months after the Event of Loss or proposed release
occasioning the deposit with the Collateral Agent of such Temporary Cash
Collateral, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
upon satisfaction by the Company of the applicable Substitution Requirements,
the Collateral Agent shall return to the Company Temporary Cash Collateral in an
amount equal to the entire amount of the related deposit, plus or minus any net

Substitution Requirements), in an amount equal to such portion of such deposit,
plus or minus such net earnings or loss, as is allocable to such lesser
Appraised Value. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or
six (6) months shall have elapsed since the date of such Event of Loss or

Collateral Agent and held by it, or, if not so held, the Collateral Agent shall
be reflected as the owner of, or secured party in respect of, such Investment
Securities in the register of the issuer of such Investment Securities. In no
event shall the Collateral Agent invest in, or hold, Investment Securities in a
manner which would cause the Collateral Agent not to have a Lien on, and first
priority perfected security interest in, such Investment Securities under the
applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect where the
Collateral Agent holds such Investment Securities, or if not held by it, in
effect where the registrar is located, or other applicable law then in effect,
and in no event shall the Collateral Agent hold cash other than in a manner
which would cause the Collateral Agent to have a Lien on, and first priority
perfected security interest in, such cash.

effect on the interests of the Holders.

shall have any liability to the Company (whether sounding in tort, contract or
otherwise) for losses suffered by the Company in connection with, arising out
of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship
established by this Pledge Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in
connection therewith, unless it is determined by a final and nonappealable
28
judgment of a court that is binding on the Collateral Agent or such Holder, as
the case may be, that such losses were the result of acts or omissions on the
part of the Collateral Agent or such Holder, as the case may be, constituting
bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, and except as otherwise
provided in this Pledge Agreement, the Company waives all rights of notice and

proceeding to obtain possession of replevy, attach or levy upon the Collateral
or other security for the Obligations, to enforce any judgment or other court
order entered in favor of the Collateral Agent or any Holder, or to enforce by
