others, as principal or surety on any account whatsoever pursuant to the Loan Documents in accordance with their terms. Each Grantor agrees that no payment or distribution by such Grantor pursuant to the preceding sentence shall entitle such

Section 2.16. Operational Covenants. (a) Operation and Use. Each Grantor agrees that no Pool Aircraft will be
maintained, used or operated in violation of any law, rule or regulation (including airworthiness directives) of any government or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Pool Aircraft or in violation of any airworthiness certificate,
license or registration relating to such Pool Aircraft issued by any such government, except for minor violations, and except to the extent any Grantor (or, if a Lease is then in effect with respect to such Pool Aircraft, any Lessee of such Pool
Aircraft) is contesting in good faith the validity or application of any such law, rule or regulation in any manner that does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of such Pool Aircraft or any material risk of subjecting any
Secured Party to criminal liability or materially impair the Liens created by this Agreement or any other Security Document; provided that the Borrower Parties shall only be entitled to contest mandatory
grounding orders if they (or the applicable Lessee) do not operate such Pool Aircraft during such contest. The Grantors will not operate any Pool Aircraft, or permit any Pool Aircraft to be operated or located, (i) in any area excluded from
coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 2.17 and Schedule V of this Agreement or (ii) in any war zone or recognized or threatened areas of hostilities unless covered by war risk insurance in accordance with Section 2.17 and
Schedule V of this Agreement, in either case unless indemnified by a government authority as provided therein or unless located there due to an emergency or an event outside the Lessee's control, but only for so long as such emergency or event
continues.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2.16, no breach of Section 2.16 shall be deemed to have occurred by virtue of any act or omission of a Lessee or sub-lessee, or of any Person
claiming by or through a Lessee or a sub-lessee, or of any Person which has possession of the Pool Aircraft or any Engine for the purpose of repairs, maintenance, modification or storage, or by virtue of any requisition, seizure, or confiscation of
the Pool Aircraft (other than seizure or confiscation arising from a breach by the Grantors of this Section 2.16(a)) (each, a "Third Party Event"); provided that (i)
no Borrower Party consents or has consented to such Third Party Event; and (ii) the Grantor which is the lessor or owner of such Pool Aircraft promptly and diligently takes such commercially reasonable actions in accordance with Leasing Company
Practice in respect of such Third Party Event, including, as deemed appropriate (taking into account, inter alia, the laws of the jurisdictions in which the Pool Aircraft are located), seeking to compel
such Lessee or other relevant Person to remedy such Third Party Event or seeking to repossess the relevant Pool Aircraft or Engine.
(b) Identification of Collateral Agent's Interest. The Grantors agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to affix or cause the relevant Lessee
to affix, as applicable and to the extent permitted under the relevant Lease, as promptly as practicable after the Effective Date or relevant Release Date, as applicable, and thereafter to maintain in the cockpit of each Pool Aircraft, in a clearly
visible location, and on each Engine, a nameplate bearing the additional inscription "SUBJECT TO A SECURITY INTEREST IN FAVOR OF BANK OF UTAH, AS COLLATERAL AGENT" (such nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name
of any successor Collateral Agent).
(c) Registration. Each Grantor shall cause each Pool Aircraft to remain duly registered, under the laws of a country or jurisdiction that is not a
Prohibited Country or that is the country in which such Pool Aircraft is registered as of the date hereof, in the name of the relevant Grantor and reflecting the applicable Grantor (and, if applicable, the applicable Intermediate Lessee) as lessor,
in each case, if so permitted under the applicable registry; provided that a Pool Aircraft may be unregistered for a temporary period in connection with modification or maintenance of such Pool Aircraft.
The Collateral Agent agrees that it will cooperate with the relevant Grantor in changing the state of registration of any Pool Aircraft at the cost of the relevant Grantor and as the relevant Grantor may request, provided
that such request does not conflict with the relevant Grantor's obligations under the Loan Documents.

(ii) to the extent that such extension or amendment under applicable laws of the relevant jurisidiction requires amendments to the registration of the aircraft, copies of such legal
opinions with regard to compliance with the registration requirements of the relevant jurisdiction, to the extent that receiving such legal opinions is consistent with Leasing Company Practice.

disapplied herein) or otherwise, and such powers will be and remain exercisable by the Collateral Agent in respect of any part of the Collateral in respect of which no appointment of a receiver by the Collateral Agent is for the time being
subsisting, notwithstanding that an appointment shall have subsisted and been withdrawn in respect of that part of the Collateral or shall be subsisting in respect of any other part of the Collateral.
- 23 -

reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at
the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(b) The Collateral Agent may, in addition to or in connection with any other remedies available hereunder or under any other applicable law, exercise any and all remedies granted under the
Cape Town Convention as it shall determine in its sole discretion. In connection therewith, the parties hereby agree to the extent permitted by the UCC that (i) Article 9(1) and Article 9(2) of the Convention, wherein the parties may agree or the

Agent and the security interests and Liens granted under, and all obligations of each Grantor under, until the Secured Obligations then outstanding are paid in full, this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be absolute and unconditional,

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Grantor; or

or any other parties to any of the Loan Documents.

accounting for moneys actually received by it under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other
matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve or perfect rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to

Collateral Agent may accept a copy of a resolution of the board or other governing body of any party to this Agreement or any Loan Document, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary thereof or other duly authorized Person of such party
as duly adopted and in full force and effect, as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by said board or other governing body and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the manner of
ascertainment of which is not specifically described in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive and may for all purposes hereof conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting, on a
certificate, signed by an officer of any duly authorized Person, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Collateral Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them in good faith in reliance
thereon. The Collateral Agent shall assume, and shall be fully protected in assuming, that each other party to this Agreement is authorized by its constitutional documents to enter into this Agreement and to take all action permitted to be taken

- 28 -
(e) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the
provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Collateral Agent to perform, or be responsible or liable for the manner of performance of, any obligations of any Grantor under any of the Loan Documents.
(f) If the Collateral Agent incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an exercise of remedies specified in Section 3.01, such expenses (including the fees and expenses of its

instruments or notices, as may be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to continue the perfection (if any) of the Liens granted or purported to be granted hereby, shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The retiring Collateral

actions under this paragraph (b) as relating to such appointment shall be at the expense of the successor Collateral Agent.
(c) The Collateral Agent shall be an Eligible Institution, if there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder and

officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents) from and against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by it without negligence or bad faith on its part in connection with the acceptance
or administration of this Agreement and its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or reasonable expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part. The Collateral Agent (i) must provide reasonably prompt

incremental expense or actual prejudice as a result of such failure; and (ii) must not make any admissions of liability or incur any significant expenses after receiving actual notice of the claim or agree to any settlement without the written
consent of the applicable Grantor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Grantor shall be required to reimburse any expense or indemnity against any loss or liability incurred by the Collateral Agent through negligence or bad faith.
Each Grantor, as applicable, may, in its sole discretion, and at its expense, control the defense of the claim including, without limitation, designating counsel for the Collateral Agent and
controlling all negotiations, litigation, arbitration, settlements, compromises and appeals of any claim; provided that (i) the applicable Grantor may not agree to any settlement involving any indemnified
person that contains any element other than the payment of money and complete indemnification of the indemnified person without the prior written consent of the affected indemnified person, (ii) the applicable Grantor shall engage and pay the
expenses of separate counsel for the indemnified person to the extent that the interests of the Collateral Agent are in conflict with those of such Grantor and (iii) the indemnified person shall have the right to approve the counsel designated by

any admissions of liability or incur any significant expenses after receiving actual notice of the claim or agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Administrative Agent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c) The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, and at its expense, control the defense of the claim including, without limitation, designating counsel for the Collateral Agent
and controlling all negotiations, litigation, arbitration, settlements, compromises and appeals of any claim; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent may not agree to any settlement involving any
indemnified person that contains any element other than the payment of money and complete indemnification of the indemnified person without the prior written consent of the affected indemnified person, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall engage and
pay the expenses of separate counsel for the indemnified person to the extent that the interests of the Collateral Agent are in conflict with those of the Administrative Agent and (iii) the indemnified person shall have the right to approve the
counsel designated by the Administrative Agent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) The provisions of Section 7.01 and this Section 7.02 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent.

associated with the International Registry.

departure by any party from the provisions of this Agreement, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent and each party hereto. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The
Collateral Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, execute and deliver any amendment or modification which would affect its duties, powers, rights, immunities or indemnities hereunder.

effective (a) on the date personally delivered to an authorized officer of the party to which sent, or (b) on the date transmitted by legible telecopier transmission with a confirmation of receipt.
Section 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any
right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and
not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
Section 8.04. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired.
Section 8.05. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments. Subject to Section 8.06, this Agreement shall create a continuing
security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the earlier of the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations then outstanding to the Secured Parties, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors
and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, permitted transferees and permitted assigns. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing subsection (c), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party in accordance with the terms thereof to any other permitted Person
or entity, and such other permitted Person or entity shall thereupon become vested with all the rights in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise.
Section 8.06. Release and Termination. (a) Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition or removal from the Designated
Pool of any item of Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, such item of Collateral will be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally released from the Lien hereof, and the Collateral Agent will, at such Grantor's expense,
execute and deliver to the Grantor of such item of Collateral such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request and provide to the Collateral Agent to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest
granted hereby, and to the extent that (A) the Collateral Agent's consent is required for any deregistration of the interests in such released Collateral from the International Registry or other registry or (B) the Collateral Agent is required to
initiate any such deregistration, the Collateral Agent shall ensure that such consent or such initiation of such deregistration is effected. Any amounts released from the LTV Securities Account by the Collateral Agent pursuant to a Release Request
or Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, without further act, shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally released from the Lien hereof.
- 35 -
(b) Upon the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations then outstanding, the pledge, assignment and security interest granted by Section 2.01 hereof shall terminate, the
Collateral Agent shall cease to be a party to this agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement (except for this Section 8.06(b)) relating to the Secured Obligations, the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent shall cease to be of any effect
insofar as they relate to the Secured Obligations, the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent will, at the relevant Grantor's expense, execute and deliver to each relevant Grantor such documents as
such Grantor shall prepare and reasonably request to evidence such termination.
(c) If, prior to the termination of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent ceases to be the Collateral Agent in accordance with the definition of "Collateral Agent" in Section 1.01, all
certificates, instruments or other documents being held by the Collateral Agent at such time shall, within five (5) Business Days from the date on which it ceases to be the Collateral Agent, be delivered to the successor Collateral Agent.
Section 8.07. Currency Conversion. If any amount is received or recovered by the Collateral Agent in a currency (the "Received Currency") other than the currency in which such amount was expressed to be payable (the "Agreed Currency"), then the amount in the Received Currency actually
received or recovered by the Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall only constitute a discharge of the relevant Grantor to the extent of the amount of the Agreed Currency which the Collateral Agent was or would have been able in
accordance with its or his normal procedures to purchase on the date of actual receipt or recovery (or, if that is not practicable, on the next date on which it is so practicable), and, if the amount of the Agreed Currency which the Collateral
Agent is or would have been so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Agreed Currency which was originally payable by the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall pay to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties such amount
as it shall determine to be necessary to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties against any loss sustained by it as a result (including the cost of making any such purchase and any premiums, commissions or other charges paid or
incurred in connection therewith) and so that, to the extent permitted by law, (i) such indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of each Grantor distinct from its obligation to discharge the amount which was originally
payable by such Grantor and (ii) shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action and apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Collateral Agent and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment, order, claim
or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of the amount originally payable by any Grantor or any judgment or order and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required.
Section 8.08. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK.
- 36 -
Section 8.09. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action
or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents against any Borrower Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.02. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any
party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
Section 8.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement (i) will become effective when the Lenders shall have received counterparts hereof that,
when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto and (ii) thereafter will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e-mail will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 8.11. Table of Contents, Headings, Etc. The Table of Contents and headings of the Articles and Sections of this
Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms and provisions hereof.
Section 8.12. Non-Invasive Provisions. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent
agrees that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, not to take any action or cause to be taken any action, or permit any person claiming by, through or on behalf of it to take any action or cause any action, that
would interfere with the possession, use, operation and quiet enjoyment of and other rights with respect to any Pool Aircraft or Collateral related thereto and all rents, revenues, profits and income therefrom, including, the right to enforce
manufacturers' warranties, the right to apply or obtain insurance proceeds for damage to the Pool Aircraft to the repair of the Pool Aircraft and the right to engage in pooling, leasing and similar actions, in each case in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.
- 37 -
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent agrees that, so long as no "Event of Default" (or similar term) under a Lease (as defined in such Lease)
shall have occurred and be continuing, not to take any action or cause to be taken any action, or permit any person claiming by, through or on behalf of it to take any action or cause any action, that would interfere with the possession, use,
operation and quiet enjoyment of and other rights of the Lessee with respect to any Pool Aircraft or Collateral related thereto and all rents, revenues, profits and income therefrom, including, the right to enforce manufacturers' warranties, the
right to apply or obtain insurance proceeds for damage to the Pool Aircraft to the repair of the Pool Aircraft and the right to engage in pooling, leasing and similar actions, in each case in accordance with the terms of such Lease.
(c) The Collateral Agent agrees to release any Lien the Collateral Agent may have upon any Engine upon (i) a Grantor providing the Collateral Agent with written notice of a transfer
thereof promptly after receipt of a notice thereof from the relevant Lessee and with a copy of the xxxx of sale or other instrument evidencing the transfer of title of such replacement Engine to a Grantor, (ii) in the case of the transfer of title
to an Engine initiated by a Grantor, the Grantor providing the Collateral Agent with a certificate of such transfer and a copy of the xxxx of sale or other instrument evidencing the transfer of title of a replacement Engine to a Grantor, or (iii)
upon the total loss payment or Loan repayment being received (or replacement aircraft being provided) in a case where the Airframe, but not such Engine, was the subject of a total loss; provided that, for
the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall not release any Lien upon an Engine that is not replaced by a Grantor or a Lessee, unless such Engine is associated with an aircraft that was subject to a total loss or otherwise removed from the
Designated Pool. The Borrower shall at the request of the Collateral Agent execute a supplement to this Agreement to evidence that any such replacement Engine has become subject to the Lien of this Agreement and the Collateral Agent shall, at the
request of the Borrower, execute a supplement to this Agreement to evidence the release of the applicable Engine from the Lien of the Collateral Agent.
(d) The Lenders and the Collateral Agent agree that they will not claim, and upon the request of the relevant Grantor, the Collateral Agent will confirm in writing that it does not claim,
any right, title or interest in any engine or part (including any audio visual, telephonic, entertainment or similar equipment) that is installed on a Pool Aircraft which does not constitute an "engine" or "part" as defined in the applicable Lease.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent agrees that the relevant Grantor may from time to time lease out an engine that is part of a Pool Aircraft or lease in an engine that
is not part of a Pool Aircraft as it determines in accordance with Leasing Company Practice.

agreement of any party contained in this Agreement shall be had against any shareholder (not including any Grantor as a shareholder of any other Grantor hereunder), officer or director of the relevant party as such, by the enforcement of any
assessment or by any proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is a corporate obligation of the relevant party and no personal liability shall attach to or be incurred by the
