such payment or may elect to contest any lien if Grantor is in good faith
conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and so
long as Xxxxxx's interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized in Xxxxxx's sole
opinion. If the Collateral is subjected to a lien which is not discharged
within fifteen (15) days, Grantor shall deposit with Lender cash, a sufficient
corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to Lender in an amount

authorities applicable to the use, operation, maintenance, overhauling or
condition of the Collateral. Grantor may contest in good faith any such law,
ordinance or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding,
including appropriate appeals, so long as Xxxxxx's interest in the Collateral,
in Xxxxxx's opinion, is not jeopardized. Without limiting the foregoing,
Grantor agrees that at no time during the effectiveness of this Agreement shall
the Collateral be operated in, located in, or relocated to, any jurisdiction,
unless the Geneva Convention, together with its necessary enacting rules and
regulations (or some comparable treaty and regulations satisfactory to Lender)
shall be in effect in such jurisdiction and any notices, financing statements,
documents, or instruments necessary or required, in the opinion of Lender, to
be filed in such jurisdiction shall have been filed and file stamped copies
thereof shall have been furnished to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at
no time shall the Collateral be operated in or over any area which may expose
Lender to any penalty, fine, sanction or other liability, whether civil or
criminal, under any applicable law, rule, treaty or convention; nor may the
Collateral be used in any manner which is or may be declared to be illegal and
which may thereby render the Collateral liable to confiscation, seizure,
detention or destruction.

accordance with FAA rules and regulations and from time to time make such
records available for inspection by Xxxxxx and its duly authorized agents.
Maintenance of Casualty Insurance. Grantor shall procure and maintain at all
times all risks insurance on the Collateral, including without limitation fire,
theft, liability and hull insurance, and such other insurance as Lender may
require with respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and basis
reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably
5
acceptable to Lender. Grantor shall further provide and maintain, at its sole
cost and expense, comprehensive public liability insurance, naming both Grantor
and Xxxxxx as parties insured, protecting against claims for bodily injury,
death and/or property damage arising out of the use, ownership, possession,
operation and condition of the Aircraft, and further containing a broad form
contractual liability endorsement covering Grantor's obligations to indemnify
Lender as provided under this Agreement. Such policies of insurance must also
contain a provision, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, prohibiting
cancellation or the alteration of such insurance without at least ton (10) days
prior written notice to Lender of such intended cancellation or alteration.
Such insurance policies also shall include an endorsement providing that
coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act,
omission or default of Grantor or any other person. Grantor agrees to provide
Lender with originals or certified copies of such policies of insurance.
Grantor, upon request of Xxxxxx, will deliver to Lender from time to time the
policies or certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender. In
connection with all policies covering assets in which Lender holds or is
offered a security interest for the Indebtedness, Grantor will provide Lender
with such lender's loss payable or other endorsements as Lender may require.
Grantor shelf not use or permit the Collateral to be used in any manner or for
any purpose excepted from or contrary to the requirements of any insurance
policy or policies required to be carried and maintained under this Agreement
or for any purpose excepted or exempted from or contrary to the insurance
policies, nor shall Grantor do any other act or permit anything to be done
which could reasonably be expected to invalidate or limit any such insurance
policy or policies.
Application of Insurance Proceeds. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of any
loss or damage to the Collateral in excess of $5,000, whether or not such
casualty or loss is covered by insurance. Lender may make proof of loss if
Grantor falls to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. Lender shall
have the right to receive directly the proceeds of any insurance on the
Collateral, including accrued proceeds thereon, and to hold the proceeds as
part of the Collateral. If Lender consents to repair or replacement of the
damaged or destroyed Collateral, Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of
expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost
of repair or restoration. If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement
of the Collateral, Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to
pay all of the Indebtedness, and shall pay the balance to Grantor. Any proceeds
which have not been disbursed within six (6) months after their receipt and
which Grantor has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Collateral
shall be used to prepay the Indebtedness.
Insurance Reports. Grantor, upon request of Xxxxxx, shall furnish to Lender
reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such information as Lender
may reasonably request including the following: (1) the name of the insurer;
(2) the risks insured; (3) the amount of the policy; (4) the property insured;
(5) the then current value on the basis of which insurance has been obtained
and the manner of determining that value; and (6) the expiration date of the
policy. In addition, Grantor shall upon request by Lender (however not more
often than annually) have an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender
determine, as applicable, the cash value or replacement cost of the Collateral.
Prior Encumbrances. To the extent applicable, Grantor shall fully and timely
perform any and all of Grantor's obligations under any prior Encumbrances
affecting the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, Grantor shall not
commit or permit to exist any breach of or default under any such prior
Encumbrances. Grantor shall further promptly notify Lender in writing upon the
occurrence of any event or circumstances that would, or that might, result in a
breach of or default under any such prior Encumbrance. Grantor shall further
not modify or extend any of the terms of any prior Encumbrance or any
indebtedness secured thereby, or request or obtain any additional loans or
other extensions of credit from any third party creditor or creditors whenever
such additional loan advances or other extensions of credit may be directly or
indirectly secured, whether by cross-collateralization or otherwise, by the
Collateral, or any part or parts thereof, with possible preference and priority
over the lien of this Agreement.
Notice of Encumbrances and Events of Default. Grantor shall immediately notify
Xxxxxx in writing upon the filing of any attachment, lien, judicial process, or
claim relating to the Collateral. Grantor additionally agrees to immediately
notify Lender in writing upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, or event
that with the passage of time, failure to cure, or giving of notice, may result
in an Event of Default under any of Grantor's obligations that may be secured
by any presently existing or future Encumbrance, or that may result in an
Encumbrance affecting the Collateral, or should the Collateral be seized or
attached or levied upon, or threatened by seizure or attachment or levy, by any
person other than Lender.
6
PROHIBITIONS REGARDING COLLATERAL. Grantor represents, warrants and covenants
to Lender while this Agreement remains in effect as follows:
Transactions Involving Collateral. Grantor shall not sell, offer to sell, or
otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral. Grantor shall not pledge,
mortgage, encumber or otherwise permit the Collateral to be subject to any
lien, security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other than the security
interest provided for in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of
Lender. This includes security interests even if junior in right to the
security interests granted under this Agreement. Unless waived by Xxxxxx, all
proceeds from any disposition of the Collateral (for whatever reason) shall be
held in trust for Lender, and shall not be commingled with any other funds;
provided however, this requirement shall not constitute consent by Lender to
any sale or other disposition. Upon receipt, Grantor shall immediately deliver
any such proceeds to Lender.
No Commercial Use. Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of
Lender, use the Collateral, or permit the Collateral to be used, in Commercial
Operations.
No Removal of Parts. Except as permitted or required in the section of this
Agreement titled "Maintenance, Repairs, Inspections, and Licenses," Grantor
shall not remove or permit the removal of any parts, engines, accessories,
avionics or equipment from the Aircraft without replacing the same with
comparable parts, engines, accessories, avionics and equipment acceptable to
Lender and the Aircraft's manufacturer and insurer.
Future Encumbrances. Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of
Lender, grant any Encumbrance that may affect the Collateral, or any part or
parts thereof, nor shall Grantor permit or consent to any Encumbrance attaching
to or being filed against the Collateral, or any part or parts thereof, in
favor of anyone other than Lender. Grantor shall further promptly pay when due
all statements and charges of airport authorities, mechanics, laborers,
materialmen, suppliers and others incurred in connection with the use,
operation, storage, maintenance and repair of the Aircraft so that no
Encumbrance may attach to or be filed against the Aircraft or other Collateral.
Xxxxxxx additionally agrees to obtain, upon request by Xxxxxx, and in form and
substance as may then be satisfactory to Lender, appropriate waivers and/or
subordinations of any Encumbrances that may affect the Collateral at any time.
XXXXXXX'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION. Until default, Grantor shall have the possession
and beneficial use of the Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not
inconsistent with this Agreement or the Related Documents.
XXXXXX'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Xxxxxx's interest in the Collateral or if Grantor fails to
comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Grantor's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related
Documents, Lender on Grantor's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and
other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying all
costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral. All such
expenditures paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the
Note rate from the date paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All
such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Xxxxxx's option,
will (A) be payable on demand; (8) be added to the balance of the Note and be
apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due
during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the
remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will
be due and payable at the Note's maturity. The Agreement also will secure
payment of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all other rights
and remedies to which Xxxxxx may be entitled upon Default.
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement:
7
Payment Default. Grantor fails to make any payment when due under the
Indebtedness.
Other Defaults. Grantor falls to comply with or to perform any other term,
obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the
Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation,
covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and
Grantor.
Default in Favor of Third Parties. Should Grantor or any Grantor default under
any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement,
or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may
materially affect any of Grantor's property or Grantor's or any Grantor's
ability to repay the Indebtedness or perform their respective obligations under
this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished
to Lender by Grantor or on Grantor's behalf under this Agreement or the Related
Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the
time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.
Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents
ceases to be in full force and affect (including, failure of any collateral
document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any time
and for any reason.
Insolvency. The dissolution of Grantor (regardless of whether election to
continue is made), any member withdraws from the limited liability company, or
any other termination of Grantor's existence as a going business or the death
of any member, the insolvency of Grantor, the appointment of a receiver for any
part of Grantor's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any
type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any
bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Grantor.
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture
proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any
other method, by any creditor of Grantor or by any governmental agency against
any collateral securing the Indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of
Grantor's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Xxxxxx. However, this
Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Grantor as
to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the
creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Grantor gives Xxxxxx written notice of
the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a
surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined
by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the
dispute.
Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to
Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent
or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the
Indebtedness.
Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Grantor's financial
condition, or Xxxxxx believes the prospect of payment or performance of the
Indebtedness is impaired.
Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.
Cure Provisions. If any default, other than a default in payment is curable, it
may be cured (and no event of default will have occurred) it Grantor, after
receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of such default: (1) cures
the default within twenty (20) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than
twenty (20) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's
sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues
and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce
compliance as soon as reasonably practical.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this
Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all the rights of a
secured party under the Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code. In addition and
without limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights
and remedies:
8
Accelerate Indebtedness. Xxxxxx may declare the entire Indebtedness, including
any prepayment penalty which Grantor would be required to pay, immediately due
and payable, without notice of any kind to Grantor.
Assemble Collateral. Lender may require Grantor to deliver to Lender all or any
portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and other
documents relating to the Collateral. Lender may require Grantor to assemble
the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by
Lender. Xxxxxx also shall have full power to enter upon the property of
Guarantor to take possession of and remove the Collateral. If the Collateral
contains other goods not covered by this Agreement at the time of repossession,
Grantor agrees Lender may take such other goods, provided that Xxxxxx makes
reasonable efforts to return them to Grantor after repossession.
Sell the Collateral. Lender shall have full power to sell, lease, transfer, or
otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in Xxxxxx's own name or
that of Grantor. Lender may sell the Collateral at public auction or private
sale. Unless the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a
type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Grantor, and
other persons as required by law, reasonable notice of the time and place of
any public sale, or the time after which any private sale or any other
disposition of the Collateral is to be made. However, no notice need be
provided to any person who, after Event of Default occurs, enters into and
authenticates an agreement waiving that person's right to notification of sale.
The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given at
least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition. All expenses
relating to the disposition of the Collateral, including without limitation the
expenses of retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale and selling the
Collateral, shall become a part of the Indebtedness secured by this Agreement
and shall be payable on demand, with interest at the Note rate from date of

may serve without bond if permitted by law. Xxxxxx's right to the appointment
of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Collateral

singularly or concurrently. Election by Xxxxxx to pursue any remedy shall not
exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to

default and exercise its remedies.

and hold Lender harmless from any and all claims, suits, obligations, damages,
losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, Xxxxxx's reasonable
