accordance with the terms of Section 2.04(b)) in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to
exceed the Maximum Commitment.
Section 2.02 Making of Advances. (a) Each Interest Advance shall be made by the
Liquidity Provider upon delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of

completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex II, signed by a Responsible

shall be used to fund the Class B Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Sections 3.05(d) and
3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
(ii) A Downgrade Advance shall be made by the Liquidity Provider upon the occurrence of a
Downgrade Event (as provided for in Section 3.05(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement) unless a
Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace this Agreement shall have been previously delivered to
the Borrower in accordance with said Section 3.05(c), upon delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a
written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex III, signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the Maximum Available Commitment at such
time, and shall be used to fund the Class B Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Sections
3.05(c) and 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
(c) A Final Advance shall be made by the Liquidity Provider following the receipt by the
Borrower of a Termination Notice from the Liquidity Provider pursuant to Section 6.01(a) upon
delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially
the form of Annex IV, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the
Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class B Cash Collateral
Account (in accordance with Sections 3.05(f) and 3.05(i) of the Intercreditor Agreement).
(d) A Special Termination Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing upon the receipt by the
Borrower of a Special Termination Notice from the Liquidity Provider pursuant to Section 6.01(b),
by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in
substantially the form of Annex V, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount
equal to the Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class B Cash
Collateral Account (in accordance with Section 3.05(f) and Section 3.05(k) of the Intercreditor
Agreement).
(e) Each Borrowing shall be made by notice in writing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) in
substantially the form required by Section 2.02(a), 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d), as the case may
be, given by the Borrower to the Liquidity Provider. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the
Borrower in respect of any Borrowing no later than 12:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business
Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to such
requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance
with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in Dollars
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)
(2010-2B EETC)
(2010-2B EETC)
11
and immediately available funds, before 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day or
before 12:30 p.m. (New York City time) on such later Business Day specified in such Notice of
Borrowing. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing after
12:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent
set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to such requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall
make available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, the amount of such
Borrowing in Dollars and immediately available funds, before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
first Business Day next following the day of receipt of such Notice of Borrowing or on such later
Business Day specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing. Payments of proceeds of a
Borrowing shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Borrower in
accordance with such wire transfer instructions as the Borrower shall furnish from time to time to
the Liquidity Provider for such purpose. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding
on the Borrower. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be effective upon delivery of a copy thereof to
the Liquidity Provider at the address and in the manner specified in Section 7.02 hereof.
(f) Upon the making of any Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing in accordance
with the Borrower’s payment instructions, the Liquidity Provider shall be fully discharged of its
obligation hereunder with respect to such Notice of Borrowing, and the Liquidity Provider shall not
thereafter be obligated to make any further Advances hereunder in respect of such Notice of
Borrowing to the Borrower or to any other Person (including the Class B Trustee or any Class B
Certificateholder). If the Liquidity Provider makes an Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of
Borrowing before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day after the date of
payment specified in Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Provider shall have fully discharged its
obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an event of default shall not have occurred
hereunder. Following the making of any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d) to
fund the Class B Cash Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or
rights to the Class B Cash Collateral Account, such Advance or any other amounts from time to time
on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account; provided that the foregoing shall not
affect or impair the obligations of the Subordination Agent to make the distributions contemplated
by Section 3.05(e) or 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. By paying to the Borrower proceeds
of Advances requested by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the
Liquidity Provider makes no representation as to, and assumes no responsibility for, the
correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount of the Advances so made and requested.
Section 2.03 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider the fees set
forth in the Fee Letter.
Section 2.04 Reduction or Termination of the Maximum Commitment. (a) Automatic
Reduction. Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount is reduced as a result of
a reduction in the Pool Balance of the Class B Certificates, the Maximum Commitment shall
automatically be reduced to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by the
Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of the Maximum
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)
(2010-2B EETC)
(2010-2B EETC)
12
Commitment to the Liquidity Provider and Delta within two Business Days thereof. The failure
by the Borrower to furnish any such notice shall not affect any such automatic reduction of the
Maximum Commitment.
(b) Termination. Upon the making of any Provider Advance, Special Termination Advance
or Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the obligation of the
Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall automatically and irrevocably
terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any further Borrowing hereunder.
Section 2.05 Repayments of Interest Advances, the Special Termination Advance or the Final
Advance. Subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without
notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Provider (which notice and demand
are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be paid, to the Liquidity Provider (a)
on each date on which the Liquidity Provider shall make an Interest Advance, the Special
Termination Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to the amount of such Advance (any such
Advance, until repaid, is referred to herein as an “Unpaid Advance”), plus (b) interest on the
amount of each such Unpaid Advance in the amounts and on the dates determined as provided in
Section 3.07; provided that if (i) the Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at
any time after making one or more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance
with this Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or
Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Interest Advances have reduced the Maximum
Available Commitment to zero, then such Interest Advances shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances
and shall be deemed to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied
Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, for the purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is required to be repaid to
the Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of Section 2.06(b));
provided, further, that amounts in respect of a Special Termination Advance
withdrawn from the Class B Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class
B Certificates in accordance with Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the portion of
the outstanding Special Termination Advance equal to the amount of any such withdrawal, but not in
excess of the outstanding Special Termination Advance, being an “Applied Special Termination
Advance”) shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under
this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable
thereon; provided, further, that if, following the making of a Special Termination
Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section
6.01(a), such Special Termination Advance (including any portion thereof that is an Applied Special
Termination Advance) shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for
purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; and,
provided, further, that if, after making a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider
delivers a Special Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(b), any Unapplied
Provider Advance shall be converted to and treated as a Special Termination Advance under this
Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon
and the obligation for repayment
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)
(2010-2B EETC)
(2010-2B EETC)
13
thereof under the
Intercreditor Agreement. The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the repayment in
full of each Interest Advance, Special Termination Advance and Final Advance on the date such
Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower by
the Liquidity Provider. For the avoidance of doubt, interest payable on an Interest Advance,
Special Termination Advance or the Final Advance shall not be regarded as overdue unless such
interest is not paid when due under Section 3.07.
Section 2.06 Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts advanced hereunder in
respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the Class B Cash Collateral Account and
invested and withdrawn from the Class B Cash Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.05(c),
3.05(d), 3.05(e) and 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09,
the Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider, on each Regular Distribution Date, commencing
on the first Regular Distribution Date after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the
principal amount of any such Provider Advance, in the amounts determined as provided in Section
3.07; provided, however, that amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn
from the Class B Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class B
Certificates in accordance with Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the amount of any
such withdrawal being (y), in the case of a Downgrade Advance, an “Applied Downgrade Advance” and
(z) in the case of a Non-Extension Advance, an “Applied Non-Extension Advance” and together with an
Applied Downgrade Advance, an “Applied Provider Advance”) shall thereafter (subject to Section
2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the
Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; provided, further,
however, that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider
delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(a), such Provider Advance
shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the
Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09,
immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Class B Cash Collateral Account on account
of a reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity Provider a portion
of the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to such reduction, plus interest on the
principal amount so repaid as provided in Section 3.07.
(b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance (or
any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account of any
amount pursuant to clause “fourth” of Section 3.02 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount
being a “Replenishment Amount”) for the purpose of replenishing or increasing the balance thereof
up to the Required Amount at such time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all
Applied Provider Advances and Applied Special Termination Advances (and of Provider Advances and
Special Termination Advances treated as Interest Advances for purposes of determining the
Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically reduced by the
amount of such Replenishment Amount, and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all
Unapplied Provider Advances shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment
Amount.

(c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity Facility in replacement of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement, as provided in Section 3.05(f) of
the Intercreditor Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account
after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance on the date of such replacement shall be
reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in
full to the Liquidity Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.
Section 2.07 Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the Intercreditor Agreement. In
order to provide for payment or repayment to the Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the
Intercreditor Agreement provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of
the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms
of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor
Agreement), shall be paid to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof (but, for
the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of or increase in any amounts payable hereunder).
Amounts so paid to the Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider in the order
of priority required by the applicable provisions of Articles II and III of the Intercreditor
Agreement and shall discharge in full the corresponding obligations of the Borrower hereunder.
Section 2.08 Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in accordance with
its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting
from Advances made from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder
and paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure
by the Liquidity Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations of
the Borrower in respect of Advances.
Section 2.09 Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments to be made by the
Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only from the amounts that constitute Scheduled
Payments, Special Payments and other payments under the Operative Agreements, including payment
under Section 4.02 of the Participation Agreements and payments under Section 2.14 of the
Indentures, and only to the extent that the Borrower shall have sufficient income or proceeds
therefrom to enable the Borrower to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving
effect to the priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The
Liquidity Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts to the extent available for
distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement and that the
Borrower, in its individual capacity, is not personally liable to it for any amounts payable or
liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Intercreditor
Agreement or any Participation Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral
Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement only to the extent
and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.05(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 2.10 Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension Advance. No earlier than the
60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (unless such Expiry
Date is on or after the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class
B Certificates), the Borrower shall request that the Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry Date to
the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class B
Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day occurring after
the last day of the Consent Period (as hereinafter defined). Whether or not the Borrower has made
such request, the Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower no earlier than the 40th day (or, if
earlier, the date of the Liquidity Provider’s receipt of such request, if any, from the Borrower)
and no later than the 25th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (such period, the “Consent
Period”), whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date. If the
Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that
such Expiry Date shall not be so extended, or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the
Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall be so
extended (and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance
with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and after
the date on which the Consent Period ends (but prior to the then effective Expiry Date) to request
a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b)(i) and Section 3.05(d) of the
Intercreditor Agreement.
ARTICLE III
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER
Section 3.01 Increased Costs. Without duplication of any rights created by Section
3.03, if as a result of any Regulatory Change there shall be any increase by an amount reasonably
deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in the actual cost to the Liquidity Provider of
making, funding or maintaining any Advances or its obligation to make any such Advances or there
shall be any reduction by an amount reasonably deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material in
the amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement
in respect thereof, and in case of either such an increase or reduction, such event does not arise
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Liquidity Provider, from its breach of any
of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or in the
Intercreditor Agreement or from its failure to comply with any such Regulatory Change (any such
increase or reduction being referred to herein as an “Increased Cost”), then, subject to Sections
2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall from time to time pay to the Liquidity Provider an amount equal
to such Increased Cost within 10 Business Days after delivery to the Borrower and Delta of a
certificate of an officer of the Liquidity Provider describing in reasonable detail the event by
reason of which it claims such Increased Cost and the basis for the determination of the amount of
such Increased Cost; provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay amounts only with
respect to any Increased Costs accruing from the date 120 days prior to the date of delivery of
such certificate. Such certificate, in the absence of manifest error, shall be considered prima
facie evidence of the amount of the Increased Costs for purposes of this Agreement;
provided that any determinations and allocations by the Liquidity
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)
(2010-2B EETC)
(2010-2B EETC)
16
Provider of the effect of any Regulatory Change on the costs of maintaining the Advances or
the obligation to make Advances are made on a reasonable basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Liquidity Provider shall not be entitled to assert any claim under this Section 3.01 in respect of
or attributable to Excluded Taxes. The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower and Delta as
promptly as practicable of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle
the Liquidity Provider to compensation under this Section 3.01. The Liquidity Provider agrees to
investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives for reducing any Increased Costs and to use
all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize, to the greatest extent possible, any
claim in respect of Increased Costs, including, without limitation, by designating a different
Lending Office, if such designation or other action would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount
of, any such claim; provided that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider
to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to take any
action that is not materially consistent with its internal policies or is otherwise materially
disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider or that would cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any
material loss or cost, unless the Borrower or Delta agrees to reimburse or indemnify the Liquidity
Provider therefor. If no such designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, such
notice fails to avoid the need for any claim in respect of Increased Costs, Delta may arrange for a
Replacement Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Borrower be required to make
payments under this Section 3.01: (a) in respect of any Regulatory Change proposed by any
applicable governmental authority (including any branch of a legislature), central bank or
comparable agency of the United States or the Liquidity Provider’s jurisdiction of organization or
in which its Lending Office is located and pending as of the date of this Agreement (it being
agreed that the Regulatory Changes contemplated by the Consultative Documents issued by the Basel
Committee on Banking Supervision entitled “Strengthening the resilience of the banking sector” and
“International framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring,” each dated
December 2009, shall not be considered to have been proposed or pending as of the date of this
Agreement); (b) if a claim hereunder in respect of an Increased Cost arises through circumstances
peculiar to the Liquidity Provider and that do not affect similarly organized commercial banking
institutions in the same jurisdiction generally that are in compliance with the law, rule,
regulation or interpretation giving rise to the Regulatory Change relating to such Increased Cost;
(c) if the Liquidity Provider shall fail to comply with its obligations under this Section 3.01 or
(d) if the Liquidity Provider is not also seeking payment for similar increased costs in other
similarly situated transactions related to the airline industry.
Section 3.02 Intentionally omitted.
Section 3.03 Withholding Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this
Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, unless
such deduction or withholding is required by law. If any Taxes are so required to be withheld or
deducted from any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, then, subject to
Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant authorities the full
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)
(2010-2B EETC)
(2010-2B EETC)
17
amount so required to be deducted or withheld and, without duplication of any rights created
by Section 3.01, if such Taxes are Covered Taxes, pay to the Liquidity Provider such additional
amounts as shall be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Liquidity
Provider (after deduction or withholding of all Covered Taxes) shall be equal to the full amount
that would have been received by the Liquidity Provider had no withholding or deduction of Covered
Taxes been required. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with
applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if
making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts
that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be
otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. If the Liquidity Provider receives
a refund of, or realizes a net Tax benefit not otherwise available to it as a result of, any Taxes
for which additional amounts were paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Liquidity
Provider shall pay to the Borrower (for deposit into the Collection Account) the amount of such
refund (and any interest thereon) or net benefit.
The Liquidity Provider will (i) provide (on its behalf and on behalf of any participant
holding a Participation pursuant to Section 7.08) to the Borrower (x) on or prior to the Effective
Date two valid completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI
(whichever is applicable), including thereon a valid U.S. taxpayer identification number (or, with
respect to any such participant, such other form or documentation as may be applicable) covering
all amounts receivable by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative
Agreements and (y) thereafter from time to time such additional forms or documentation as may be
necessary to establish an available exemption from withholding of United States Tax on payments
hereunder so that such forms or documentation are effective for all periods during which it is the
Liquidity Provider and (ii) provide timely notice to the Borrower if any such form or documentation
is or becomes inaccurate. The Liquidity Provider shall deliver to the Borrower such other forms or
documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or required by applicable law to establish
that payments hereunder are exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of Covered Taxes.
(b) All payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the Liquidity Provider
under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of,
any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the
Borrower under this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor
by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any
such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii)
hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the
manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional amount which (after
deduction of all such Taxes) will be sufficient to yield to the Borrower the full amount which
would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been made. Within 30 days
after the date of each payment hereunder, the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the
original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Taxes
applicable to such payment.
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)
(2010-2B EETC)
(2010-2B EETC)
18
If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes required to be borne by the
Liquidity Provider under this Section 3.03(b) is reasonably available to the Borrower without
providing any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates, the
Borrower shall deliver the Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such other evidence of the
eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or reductions (but without any requirement to
provide any information regarding the holders or beneficial owners of the Certificates) as the
Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as being required as a condition to
exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, such Taxes.
Section 3.04 Payments. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall make or
cause to be made each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the
same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in Dollars, to the Liquidity Provider in
immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account of Natixis S.A., acting via its New
York Branch, at [ ]; or to such other U.S. bank account as the Liquidity Provider may
from time to time direct the Subordination Agent.
Section 3.05 Computations. All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall
be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of
interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for
the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the
period for which such interest is payable.
Section 3.06 Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder
shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day and no additional interest shall be due as a result (and if so made,
shall be deemed to have been made when due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance
is so deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the commencement
of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce the
number of days for which interest will be payable on such Advance on the next Interest Payment Date
for such Advance.
Section 3.07 Interest. (a) Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower shall
pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of
each Advance from and including the date of such Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider
Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance, from and including the date on which the amount
thereof was withdrawn from the Class B Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class B
Certificates) to but excluding the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the
case of an Applied Provider Advance or Applied Special Termination Advance, the date on which the
Class B Cash Collateral Account is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii), to the
extent permitted by law, any other amount due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or
other amounts or installments of interest on Advances or any such other amount) that is not paid
when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) from and
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)
(2010-2B EETC)
(2010-2B EETC)
19
including the due date thereof to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, in each
such case, at the interest rate per annum for each day that such amount remains overdue and unpaid
equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate for such Advance or such other amount, as the case may be,
as in effect for such day, but in no event in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above at a
rate per annum greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law; provided,
however, that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this
Section 3.07 shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law any subsequent reduction in such interest rate will not reduce the rate
of interest payable pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate permitted by applicable
law until the total amount of interest accrued equals the absolute amount of interest that would
have accrued (without additional interest thereon) if such otherwise applicable interest rate as
set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all relevant times been in effect.
(b) Except as provided in Section 3.07(e), each Advance will be either a Base Rate Advance or
a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section 3.07. Each such Advance will be a Base Rate Advance
for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third Business Day following
the Liquidity Provider’s receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such
Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance; provided that a Provider Advance shall always be a LIBOR
Advance unless the Borrower elects otherwise.
(c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per annum
equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance,
payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of
principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to
the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid.
(d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution
Date and, in the event of the payment of principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a
Regular Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the
amount of principal repaid).
(e) Each outstanding Unapplied Non-Extension Advance shall bear interest in an amount equal to
the Investment Earnings plus the Applicable Margin on amounts on deposit in the Class B Cash
Collateral Account for such Unapplied Non-Extension Advance on the amount of such Unapplied
Non-Extension Advance, from time to time, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.
(f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other
amounts or installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear interest, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.0% per annum
until paid.

(g) If at any time, the Liquidity Provider shall have determined (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances
affecting the relevant interbank lending market generally, the LIBOR Rate determined or to be
determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the
Liquidity Provider (as conclusively certified by the Liquidity Provider, absent manifest error) of
making or maintaining Advances, the Liquidity Provider shall give facsimile or telephonic notice
thereof (a “Rate Determination Notice”) to the Borrower. If such notice is given, then the
outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances
effective from the date of the Rate Determination Notice; provided that the Applicable
Liquidity Rate in respect of such Base Rate Advances shall be increased by one per cent (1.00%).
The Liquidity Provider shall withdraw a Rate Determination Notice given hereunder when the
Liquidity Provider determines that the circumstances giving rise to such Rate Determination Notice
no longer apply to the Liquidity Provider, and the Base Rate Advances shall be converted to LIBOR
Advances effective as the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period after the date of such
withdrawal. Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective immediately. The rates of interest
specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as
the “Applicable Liquidity Rate”.
Section 3.08 Replacement of Borrower. Subject to Section 5.02, from time to time and
subject to the successor Borrower’s meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.09
of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to the Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and
time specified in a written and completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent in
substantially the form of Annex VIII (a “Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent”) delivered to
the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower designated therein shall become
the Borrower for all purposes hereunder.
Section 3.09 Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity
Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient
(in the reasonable opinion of the Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost or
expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired
by the Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of the
Applicable Margin or anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:
(1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest
Period for such Advance; or
(2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date for borrowing
specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02.
Section 3.10 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if
any change in any law, rule or regulation applicable to or binding on the Liquidity Provider, or
any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)
(2010-2B EETC)
(2010-2B EETC)
21
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by the Liquidity Provider with any request or directive (whether or not having the force
of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or
impossible for the Liquidity Provider to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to
the Borrower and Delta by the Liquidity Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR
Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity
Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the reasonable judgment of the
Liquidity Provider, requires immediate conversion; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest
Period to expire before the effective date of any such change or request. The Liquidity Provider
will notify the Borrower and Delta as promptly as practicable of any event that will or to its
knowledge is reasonably likely to lead to the conversion of LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances
under this Section 3.10; provided that a failure by the Liquidity Provider to notify the
Borrower or Delta of an event that is reasonably likely to lead to such a conversion prior to the
time that it is determined that such event will lead to such a conversion shall not prejudice the
rights of the Liquidity Provider under this Section 3.10. The Liquidity Provider agrees to
investigate all commercially reasonable alternatives for avoiding the need for such conversion,
including, without limitation, designating a different Lending Office, if such designation or other
action would avoid the need to convert such LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances; provided
that the foregoing shall not obligate the Liquidity Provider to take any action that would, in its
reasonable judgment, cause the Liquidity Provider to incur any material loss or cost, unless the
Borrower or Delta agrees to reimburse or indemnify the Liquidity Provider therefor. If no such
designation or other action is effected, or, if effected, fails to avoid the need for conversion of
the LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances, Delta may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility in
accordance with Section 3.05(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 7.02.
Section 7.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Liquidity Provider to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver

Letter, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Participation Agreement; provided,
however, that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify, protect, defend and hold

extent such Expense is (i) attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Liquidity Indemnitee or any other Liquidity Indemnitee, (ii) an ordinary and usual operating
overhead expense, (iii) attributable to the failure by such Liquidity Indemnitee or any other
Liquidity Indemnitee to perform or observe any agreement, covenant or condition on its part to be

terms hereof; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have a claim against the
Liquidity Provider, and the Liquidity Provider shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of
any damages suffered by the Borrower that were the result of (A) the Liquidity Provider’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented hereunder comply with the
terms hereof or (B) any breach by the Liquidity Provider of any of the terms of this Agreement or
the Intercreditor Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Liquidity Provider’s failure to
make lawful payment hereunder after the delivery to it by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing
complying with the terms and conditions hereof.
(b) Neither the Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers, employees or directors or
affiliates shall be liable or responsible in any respect for (i) any error, omission, interruption
or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in

inaction or omission which may be taken by it in good faith, absent willful misconduct or

(ii) such Participation is made in accordance with all applicable laws, including, without
limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended,
and any other applicable laws relating to the transfer of similar interests and (iii) such
Participation shall not be made under circumstances that require registration under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or qualification of any indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,
as amended. Notwithstanding any such Participation, the Liquidity Provider agrees that (1) the
Liquidity Provider’s obligations under the Operative Agreements shall remain unchanged, and such

Operative Agreement, (2) the Liquidity Provider shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties to the Operative Agreements for the performance of such obligations, (3) the Liquidity
Provider shall remain the maker of any Advances, and the other parties to the Operative Agreements

the Liquidity Provider shall be solely responsible for any withholding Taxes or any filing or
reporting requirements relating to such Participation and shall hold the Borrower and Delta and
their respective successors, permitted assigns, affiliates, agents and servants harmless against

any amount under Section 3.01 or Section 3.03 greater than it would have been required to pay had
there not been any grant of a Participation by the Liquidity Provider. The Liquidity Provider may,
in connection with any Participation or proposed Participation pursuant to this Section 7.08(b),
disclose to the participant or proposed participant any information relating to the Operative
Agreements or to the parties thereto furnished to the Liquidity Provider thereunder or in
connection therewith and permitted to be disclosed by the
Revolving Credit Agreement (Class B)
(2010-2B EETC)
(2010-2B EETC)
29
Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that prior to any such disclosure, the
participant or proposed participant shall agree in writing for the express benefit of the Borrower
and Delta to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information included therein (subject
to customary exceptions).
(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.08, the Liquidity Provider may
assign and pledge all or any portion of the Advances owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the
United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank;
provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the Borrower to the
Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower’s
obligations hereunder in respect of such assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such
assignment shall release the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.
Section 7.09 Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, 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

jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT
AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.
(c) To the extent that the Liquidity Provider or any of its properties has or may hereafter
acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, and

expressly waives any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such
proceeding, whether in the United States or elsewhere.
