(vi)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β release any Borrower Group Company from its guarantee obligations or release any portion of the Collateral without the written consent of each Lender; in each case, other than in connection with a Disposition permitted hereunder; and provided that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Secured Party Representative hereunder without the prior written consent of such Secured Party Representative;
Β
(vii)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β amend the definition of LTV Ratio, Required LTV Threshold, DSCR Trigger Event, Utilization Trigger or the Concentration Limits set forth in ExhibitΒ F, without the consent of the Special Majority Lenders;

Β
(ii)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under SectionΒ 2.13 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's or Fly Malta's prior written consent, as applicable, or unless such greater payment results from a Change in Law occurring after the sale of the participation.Β A Participant that would not be a Qualifying Person if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of SectionΒ 2.15 unless the Borrower or Fly Malta, as applicable, is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower or Fly Malta, as applicable, to comply with SectionΒ 2.15(f) as though it were a Lender.
Β
- 106 -
(iii)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this SectionΒ 10.04(c) shall notify the Administrative Agent of the amount and the principal amounts of each such Participant's participation interest with respect to the Commitment and/or the Loans and shall obtain a Qualifying Person Confirmation, completed and signed by or on behalf of the Participant and shall procure an undertaking from the Participant that it will comply with the provisions of SectionΒ 2.15(f) as though it were a Lender and shall provide such Qualifying Person Confirmation to the Withholding Agent. If such a Qualifying Person Confirmation is not provided to the Withholding Agent, such Participant shall be treated for the purpose of the Agreement (including by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) as if it is not a Qualifying Person until such Qualifying Person Confirmation is so provided.
Β
(iv)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower and Fly Malta, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant's interest in the Loans (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations under any Loans) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under SectionΒ 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.Β The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, Fly Malta or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Β
Section 10.05.Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Survival.Β All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower Group Companies herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.Β The provisions of SectionsΒ 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and ArticleΒ X shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
