3. Owner agrees that at any time and from time to time upon the written request of the Mortgagee, Owner, at its sole cost and expense, will promptly and duly execute and deliver or cause to be duly executed and delivered any and all such further instruments and documents as the Mortgagee (acting at the direction of the Lead Lenders) may reasonably deem necessary or desirable, by reference to prudent industry practice, in obtaining the full benefits of the assignment hereunder and/or intended to be effected hereunder and of the rights and powers herein granted and/or intended to be granted hereunder including, without limitation, taking such steps as may be required to establish, maintain or, subject to Section 4.02, enforce the Lien intended to be granted hereunder in full force and effect (whether under the UCC, the Act, or the law of any other jurisdiction under which any Aircraft or other portion of the Collateral may be registered); provided that any instrument or other document so executed by Owner shall not expand any obligations or limit any rights of Owner in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Mortgage.

Mortgagee hereby agrees, and each Lender, respectively, agrees, for the benefit of each lessor, conditional seller, indenture trustee or secured party of any engine leased to, or purchased by, Owner or any Permitted Lessee subject to a lease, conditional sale, Mortgage or other security agreement that Mortgagee, each Lender and their respective successors and assigns will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor, conditional seller, indenture trustee or secured party, any right, title or interest in any engine as the result of such engine being installed on any Airframe at any time while such engine is subject to such lease, conditional sale, Mortgage or other security agreement and owned by such lessor or conditional seller or subject to a Mortgage or security interest in favor of such indenture trustee or secured party.

(c) Operation and Use. So long as any Aircraft, any Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, the Owner shall not operate, use or locate such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine, or allow such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine to be operated, used or located, (i) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 2.06, except in the case of a requisition by the U.S. Government where the Owner obtains indemnity in lieu of such insurance from the U.S. Government, or insurance from the U.S. Government, against substantially the same risks and for at least the amounts of the insurance required by Section 2.06 covering such area, or (ii) in any recognized area of hostilities unless covered in accordance with Section 2.06 by war risk insurance, or in either case unless such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine is only temporarily operated, used or located in such area as a result of an emergency, equipment malfunction, navigational error, hijacking, weather condition or other similar unforeseen circumstance, so long as Owner diligently and in good faith proceeds to remove the Aircraft from such area. So long as any Aircraft, any Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, the Owner shall not permit such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine, as the case may be, to be used, operated, maintained, serviced, repaired or overhauled (x) in violation of any Law binding on or applicable to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine or (y) in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration of any Government Entity relating to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine, except (i) immaterial or non-recurring violations with respect to which corrective measures are taken promptly by Owner or Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, upon discovery thereof, or (ii) to the extent the validity or application of any such Law or requirement relating to any such certificate, license or registration is being contested in good faith by Owner or Permitted Lessee in any reasonable manner which does not involve any material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine, any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty against Mortgagee or impair the Mortgagee’s security interest or International Interest in such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine.

(d) Maintenance and Repair.

(1) So long as any Aircraft, Airframe or Engine is subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, the Owner shall cause such Aircraft, Airframe and Engine to be maintained, serviced, repaired and overhauled in accordance with (i) maintenance standards required by or substantially equivalent to those required by the FAA, the EASA or the central aviation authority of Canada or Japan for the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines, so as to (A) keep such Aircraft, Airframe and Engine in as good operating condition as on the Closing Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted, (B) keep such Aircraft in such operating condition as may be necessary to enable the applicable airworthiness certification of such Aircraft to be maintained under the regulations of the FAA or other Aviation Authority then having jurisdiction over the operation of the Aircraft, except during (x) temporary periods of storage in accordance with applicable regulations, (y) maintenance and modification permitted hereunder or (z) periods when the FAA or such other Aviation Authority has revoked or suspended the airworthiness certificates for Similar Aircraft; and (ii) except during periods when a Permitted Lease is in effect, the same standards as Owner uses with respect to similar aircraft of similar size in its fleet operated by Owner in similar circumstances and, during any period in which a Permitted Lease is in effect, the same standards used by the Permitted Lessee with respect to similar aircraft of similar size in its fleet and operated by the Permitted Lessee in similar circumstances (it being understood that this clause (ii) shall not limit Owner’s obligations under the preceding clause (i)). Owner further agrees that such Aircraft, Airframe and Engines will be maintained, used, serviced, repaired, overhauled or inspected in compliance with applicable Laws with respect to the maintenance of such Aircraft and in compliance with each applicable airworthiness certificate, license and registration relating to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine issued by the Aviation Authority, other than minor or nonrecurring violations with respect to which corrective measures are taken upon discovery thereof and except to the extent Owner or Permitted Lessee is contesting in good faith the validity or application of any such Law or requirement relating to any such certificate, license or registration in any reasonable manner which does not create a material risk of sale, loss or forfeiture of any Aircraft, Airframe or Engine or the interest of Mortgagee therein, or any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty against Mortgagee. The Owner shall maintain or cause to be maintained the Aircraft Documents in the English language in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Aviation Authority.

(2) The Owner shall ensure that each Beechcraft King Air 350I Aircraft and each Citation Aircraft that is enrolled and participating in an Engine Maintenance Agreement on the date of this Mortgage remains enrolled and participating at all times in such Engine Maintenance Agreement or a replacement maintenance and support program (that is in full effect and under which payment of reserves by or on behalf of the Company is current and otherwise not in breach, and covers relevant maintenance as it relates to the maintenance tasks covered by such reserves) as shall provide a substantially similar scope of services (on terms that are at least as advantageous to the Owner or Mortgagee as the Engine Maintenance Agreement being replaced), and have a term at least as long, as the Engine Maintenance Agreement being replaced, and shall ensure that no Engine Maintenance Agreement is amended, modified or supplemented in a manner adverse to the interests of the Mortgagee without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon entering into any replacement Engine Maintenance Agreement under this Section 2.02(d)(2), the Owner shall deliver to the Mortgagee (i) a consent and agreement among the Owner, the Mortgagee and the relevant maintenance services provider in respect of the Owner’s and the Mortgagee’s interest in such replacement Engine Maintenance Agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Mortgagee and (ii) a certificate of an authorized officer of the Owner certifying that such Engine Maintenance Agreement provides a substantially similar scope of services (on terms that are at least as advantageous to the Owner and Mortgagee as the Engine Maintenance Agreement being replaced), and has a term at least as long as the Engine Maintenance Agreement being replaced.

(e) Registration. The Owner shall cause each Aircraft to be duly registered in its name under the Act and except as otherwise permitted by this Section 2.02(e) at all times thereafter shall cause the Aircraft to remain so registered.

Any such change in registration shall be effected only in compliance with, and subject to all of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.02(e). Unless this Mortgage has been discharged, Owner shall also cause this Mortgage to be duly recorded and at all times maintained of record as a perfected mortgage (subject to Permitted Liens) on such Aircraft, Airframe and Engines (except to the extent such perfection or priority cannot be maintained solely as a result of the failure by Mortgagee to execute and deliver any necessary documents identified in writing or provided by Owner). Unless the Lien of this Mortgage has been discharged, Owner shall cause the International Interest granted under this Mortgage in favor of the Mortgagee in such Airframe and Engines to be registered on the International Registry as an International Interest on such Airframe and Engines, subject to the Mortgagee providing its consent to the International Registry with respect thereto.

(1) each of the following requirements is satisfied:

(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such registration;

(B) such proposed change of registration is made in connection with a Permitted Lease to a Permitted Air Carrier; and

(C) such country is a country with which the United States then maintains normal diplomatic relations or, if such country is Taiwan, the United States then maintains diplomatic relations at least as good as those in effect on the Closing Date; and

(2) the Mortgagee shall have received an opinion of counsel (subject to customary exceptions) reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee addressed to Mortgagee to the effect that:

(A) such country would recognize the Owner’s ownership interest in the Aircraft;

(B) after giving effect to such change in registration, the Lien of the Mortgage on the Owner’s right, title and interest in and to the Aircraft shall continue as a valid and duly perfected first priority security interest and International Interest and all filing, recording or other action necessary to protect the same shall have been accomplished (or, if such opinion cannot be given at the time of such proposed change in registration because such change in registration is not yet effective, (1) the opinion shall detail what filing, recording or other action is necessary and (2) the Mortgagee shall have received a certificate from Owner that all possible preparations to accomplish such filing, recording and other action shall have been done, and such filing, recording and other action shall be accomplished and a supplemental opinion to that effect shall be delivered to the Mortgagee on or prior to the effective date of such change in registration);

(C) unless Owner or the Permitted Air Carrier shall have agreed to provide insurance covering the risk of requisition of use of the Aircraft by the government of such country (so long as the Aircraft is registered under the laws of such country), the laws of such country require fair compensation by the government of such country payable in currency freely convertible into Dollars and freely removable from such country (without license or permit, unless Owner prior to such proposed reregistration has obtained such license or permit) for the taking or requisition by such government of such use; and

(D) it is not necessary, solely as a consequence of such change in registration and without giving effect to any other activity of the Mortgagee (or any Affiliate of the Mortgagee), for the Mortgagee to qualify to do business in such jurisdiction as a result of such reregistration in order to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Aircraft.

In addition, as a condition precedent to any change in registration Owner shall have given to Mortgagee assurances reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee (i) of the payment by Owner of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of each Lender and Mortgagee in connection with such change of registry, including, without limitation (1) the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to Mortgagee, (2) any filing or recording fees, Taxes or similar payments incurred in connection with the change of registration of the Aircraft and the creation and perfection of the security interest therein in favor of Mortgagee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and (3) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any filings necessary to continue in the United States the perfection of the security interest in the Aircraft in favor of Mortgagee for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and (ii) to the effect that the tax and other indemnities in favor of each person named as an indemnitee under any other Loan Agreement afford each such person substantially the same protection as provided prior to such change of registration (or Owner shall have agreed upon additional indemnities that, together with such original indemnities, in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee, afford such protection).

(f) Markings. If permitted by applicable Law, upon request by the Mortgagee, Owner will cause to be affixed to, and maintained in, the cockpit of each Airframe and on each Engine, in each case, in a clearly visible location, a placard of a reasonable size and shape bearing the legend: “Subject to a security interest in favor of U.S. BANK TRUST COMPANY, N.A., not in its individual capacity but solely as Mortgagee.” Such placards may be removed temporarily, if necessary, in the course of maintenance of an Airframe or Engines. If any such placard is damaged or becomes illegible, Owner shall promptly replace it with a placard complying with the requirements of this Section.

Section 2.03 Inspection.

(a) At all reasonable times, so long as an Aircraft is subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, Mortgagee and its authorized representatives (the “Inspecting Parties”) may (not more than once every 12 months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing then such inspection right shall not be so limited) inspect such Aircraft, Airframe and Engines (including without limitation, the Aircraft Documents) and any such Inspecting Party may make copies of such Aircraft Documents not reasonably deemed confidential by Owner or such Permitted Lessee.

(b) Any inspection of the Aircraft hereunder shall be limited to a visual, walk-around inspection and shall not include the opening of any panels, bays or other components of the Aircraft, and no such inspection shall interfere with Owner’s or any Permitted Lessee’s maintenance and operation of the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines.

(c) With respect to such rights of inspection, Mortgagee shall not have any duty or liability to make, or any duty or liability by reason of not making, any such visit, inspection or survey.

(d) Each Inspecting Party shall bear its own expenses in connection with any such inspection (including the cost of any copies made in accordance with Section 2.03(a)).

Section 2.04 Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations, Modifications and Additions Substitution Rights.

(a) Replacement of Parts. Except as otherwise provided herein, so long as an Airframe or Engine is subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, Owner, at its own cost and expense, will, or will cause a Permitted Lessee to, at its own cost and expense, promptly replace (or cause to be replaced) all Parts which may from time to time be incorporated or installed in or attached to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine and which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever. In addition, Owner may, at its own cost and expense, or may permit a Permitted Lessee at its own cost and expense to, remove (or cause to be removed) in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use; provided, however, that Owner, except as otherwise provided herein, at its own cost and expense, will, or will cause a Permitted Lessee at its own cost and expense to, replace such Parts as promptly as practicable. All replacement parts shall be free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens and pooling arrangements to the extent permitted by Section 2.04(c) below (and except in the case of replacement property temporarily installed on an emergency basis) and shall be in good operating condition and have a value and utility not less than the value and utility of the Parts replaced (assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition required hereunder).

(b) Parts. Except as otherwise provided herein, any Part at any time removed from an Airframe or any Engine shall remain subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, no matter where located, until such time as such Part shall be replaced by a part that has been incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or Engine and that meets the requirements for replacement parts specified above. Immediately upon any replacement part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine as provided in Section 2.04(a), without further act, (i) the replaced Part shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Mortgagee and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder, and (ii) such replacement part shall become a Part subject to this Mortgage and be deemed part of such Airframe or any Engine, as the case may be, for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine.

(c) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from an Aircraft, Airframe or an Engine may be subjected by the Owner or a Permitted Lessee to a normal pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry and entered into in the ordinary course of business of Owner or Permitted Lessee, provided that the part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine in accordance with Sections 2.04(a) and 2.04(b) as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part. In addition, any replacement part when incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine may be owned by any third party, subject to a normal pooling arrangement, so long as the Owner or a Permitted Lessee, at its own cost and expense, as promptly thereafter as reasonably possible, either (i) causes such replacement part to become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens, at which time such replacement part shall become a Part or (ii) replaces (or causes to be replaced) such replacement part by incorporating or installing in or attaching to the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine a further replacement part owned by the Owner free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens and which shall become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage in accordance with Section 2.04(b).

(d) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. The Owner shall, or shall cause a Permitted Lessee to, make (or cause to be made) alterations and modifications in and additions to each Aircraft, Airframe and Engine as may be required to be made from time to time to meet the applicable standards of the FAA or other Aviation Authority having jurisdiction over the operation of such Aircraft, to the extent made mandatory in respect of such Aircraft; provided however, that the Owner or a Permitted Lessee may, in good faith and by appropriate procedure, contest the validity or application of any law, rule, regulation or order in any reasonable manner which does not materially adversely affect Mortgagee’s interest in such Aircraft, does not impair the Mortgagee’s security interest or International Interest in such Aircraft and does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of such Aircraft or the interest of Mortgagee therein, or any material risk of material civil penalty or any risk of criminal liability being imposed on Mortgagee or any Secured Party. In addition, the Owner, at its own expense, may, or may permit a Permitted Lessee at its own cost and expense to, from time to time make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to any Airframe or any Engine (each an “Optional Modification”) as the Owner or such Permitted Lessee may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business including, without limitation, removal of Parts which Owner deems are obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use in such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine; provided, however, that no such Optional Modification shall (i) materially diminish the fair market value, utility, or useful life of the Aircraft or any Engine below its fair market value, utility or useful life immediately prior to such Optional Modification (assuming the Aircraft or such Engine was in the condition required by this Mortgage immediately prior to such Optional Modification) or (ii) cause the Aircraft to cease to have the applicable standard certificate of airworthiness except that such certificate of airworthiness temporarily may be replaced by an experimental certificate during the process of implementing and testing such Optional Modification and securing related FAA re-certification of the Aircraft. All Parts incorporated or installed in or attached to any Airframe or any Engine as the result of any alteration, modification or addition effected by the Owner shall be free and clear of any Liens except Permitted Liens and become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage; provided that the Owner or any Permitted Lessee may, at any time so long as the Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Mortgage, remove any such Part (such Part being referred to herein as a “Removable Part”) from such Airframe or an Engine if (i) such Part is in addition to, and not in replacement of or in substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of, or in substitution for, any such original Part, (ii) such Part is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to such Airframe or any Engine pursuant to the terms of Section 2.02(d) or the first sentence of this Section 2.04(d) and (iii) such Part can be removed from such Airframe or any Engine without materially diminishing the fair market value, utility or remaining useful life which such Airframe or any Engine would have had at the time of removal had such removal not been effected by the Owner, assuming the Aircraft was otherwise maintained in the condition required by this Mortgage and such Removable Part had not been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft, Airframe or such Engine. Upon the removal by the Owner of any such Part as above provided in this Section 2.04(d), title thereto shall, without further act, be free and clear of all rights of the Mortgagee and such Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder. Removable Parts may be leased from or financed by third parties other than Mortgagee.

(e) Substitution of Engines. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under circumstances in which an Event of Loss with respect to the related Airframe has not occurred, Owner shall promptly (and in any event within 15 days after such occurrence) give the Mortgagee written notice of such Event of Loss. The Owner shall have the right at its option at any time, on at least five Business Days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee, to substitute, and if an Event of Loss shall have occurred with respect to an Engine under circumstances in which an Event of Loss with respect to the related Airframe has not occurred, shall within 60 days of the occurrence of such Event of Loss substitute, a Replacement Engine for any Engine. In such event, immediately upon the effectiveness of such substitution and without further act, (i) the replaced Engine shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Mortgagee and the Lien of this Mortgage and shall no longer be deemed an Engine hereunder and (ii) such Replacement Engine shall become subject to this Mortgage and be deemed part of the Aircraft for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the replaced Engine. Such Replacement Engine shall be an engine manufactured by the Engine manufacturer or another manufacturer that is the same model as the Engine to be replaced thereby, or a comparable or improved model, and that is suitable for installation and use on the Airframe, and that has a value and utility (without regard to hours and cycles, in the case of (x) a replacement in relation to an Event of Loss or (y) a Replacement Engine that is subject to an Engine Maintenance Agreement that complies with the requirement(s) set forth in Section 2.02(d)(2) and under which payment of reserves by or on behalf of the Owner is current, and otherwise taking into account such hours and cycles) at least equal to the Engine to be replaced thereby (assuming that such Engine had been maintained in accordance with this Mortgage). The Owner’s right to make a replacement hereunder shall be subject to the fulfillment (which may be simultaneous with such replacement) of the following conditions precedent at the Owner’s sole cost and expense, and the Mortgagee agrees to cooperate with the Owner to the extent necessary to enable it to timely satisfy such conditions:

(i) an executed counterpart of each of the following documents shall be delivered to the Mortgagee:

(A) a Mortgage Supplement covering the Replacement Engine, which shall have been duly filed for recordation pursuant to the Act or such other applicable law of the jurisdiction other than the United States in which the Aircraft of which such Engine is a part is registered in accordance with Section 2.02(e), as the case may be;

(B) a full warranty bill of sale (as to title), covering the Replacement Engine, executed by the former owner thereof in favor of the Owner (or, at the Owner’s option, other evidence of the Owner’s ownership of such Replacement Engine, reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee); and

(C) UCC financing statements covering the security interests created by this Mortgage (or any similar statements or other documents required to be filed or delivered pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Aircraft may be registered) as are deemed necessary or desirable by counsel for the Mortgagee (acting at the direction of the Lead Lenders) to protect the security interests of the Mortgagee in the Replacement Engine;

(ii) the Owner shall cause to be delivered to the Mortgagee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Lien of this Mortgage continues to be in full force and effect with respect to the Replacement Engine and such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 2.06 with respect to such Replacement Engine as Mortgagee shall reasonably request;

(iii) the Owner shall have furnished to Mortgagee an opinion of Owner’s aviation law counsel reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee and addressed to Mortgagee as to the due filing for recordation of the Mortgage Supplement with respect to such Replacement Engine under the Act or such other applicable law of the jurisdiction other than the United States in which the Aircraft is registered in accordance with Section 2.02(e), as the case may be, and the registration (which Owner shall have caused to be effected) with the International Registry of the sale to Owner of such Replacement Engine (if occurring after February 28, 2006) and the International Interest granted under such Mortgage Supplement with respect to such Replacement Engine; and

(iv) the Owner shall have furnished to Mortgagee (x) with respect to any Replacement Engine that is (i) not subject to an Engine Maintenance Agreement that complies with the requirement(s) set forth in Section 2.02(d)(2) and under which payment of reserves by or on behalf of the Owner is current and (ii) replacing an Engine that has not suffered an Event of Loss, an Appraisal that the engine to be substituted has a maintenance-adjusted current market value at least equal to the maintenance-adjusted current market value of the engine being replaced, dated as of a date within the 60-day period prior to the substitution or (y) with respect to any other Replacement Engine, a certificate of a qualified aircraft engineer (who may be an employee of Owner) certifying that such Replacement Engine has a value and utility (without regard to hours and cycles, if applicable) at least equal to the Engine so replaced (assuming that such Engine had been maintained in accordance with this Mortgage).

Upon satisfaction of all conditions to such substitution, (x) the Mortgagee shall execute and deliver to the Owner such documents and instruments, prepared at the Owner’s expense, as the Owner shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such replaced Engine from the Lien of this Mortgage, (y) the Mortgagee shall assign to the Owner all claims it may have against any other Person relating to any Event of Loss giving rise to such substitution and (z) the Owner shall receive all insurance proceeds (other than those reserved to others under Section 2.06(b)) and proceeds in respect of any Event of Loss giving rise to such replacement to the extent not previously applied to the purchase price of the Replacement Engine as provided in Section 2.05(d).

(f) Substitution of Airframe. Owner shall have the right at its option at any time, on at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Mortgagee, to substitute one or more Substitute Airframes, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), for an Airframe so long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of substitution, (ii) the Substitute Airframe shall be of the same model as the Airframe or an aircraft of the same model as any aircraft set forth on Exhibit A to Mortgage Supplement No. 1, (iii) each Substitute Airframe has a date of manufacture no earlier than one year prior to the date of manufacture of the Airframe proposed for substitution (each such date of manufacture, in each case, to be deemed to be the date of original delivery of the applicable airframe to a customer by the applicable airframe manufacturer), (iv) the Substitute Airframe has a MCMV (as defined below) (or, in the case of multiple Substitute Airframes, the sum of the MCMVs of such Substitute Airframes shall be) at least equal to the MCMV of the Airframe, plus the “MCMVs” of each other airframe comprising Collateral hereunder, being replaced by the Substitute Airframes (assuming that the Airframe had been maintained in accordance with this Mortgage), in each case as determined by a desktop appraisal dated as of a date within the 60-day period prior to the substitution performed by an independent aircraft appraiser experienced in valuing private or business jet aircraft selected by Owner, (v) with respect to any Substitute Airframe that is a different model and/or manufacturer of the Airframe, Owner shall have obtained Mortgagee’s prior written consent and (vi) following such substitution, each Substitute Airframe is part of a Replacement Aircraft (including associated Engines compatible with each other and such Substitute Airframe) that is then subject to the security interest of this Mortgage. “MCMV” is the “current market value” (as defined by the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading or any successor organization) adjusted for the maintenance status of the Substitute Airframe (including its associated Engines) and the Airframe being replaced by the Substitute Airframe (including such replaced Airframe’s associated Engines), as applicable, such maintenance status to be based upon maintenance data provided by Owner to the applicable appraiser with respect to the Substitute Airframe and such Airframe as of the same date within the 60-day period prior to the substitution for both the Substitute Airframe and such Airframe.

Prior to or at the time of any substitution under this Section 2.04(f), Owner will (A) cause a Mortgage Supplement covering such Substitute Airframe to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Act or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered, (B) cause the sale of such Substitute Airframe to Owner (if occurring after February 28, 2006) and the International Interest created pursuant to the Mortgage Supplement in favor of the Mortgagee with respect to such Substitute Airframe to be registered on the International Registry as a sale or an International Interest, respectively, (C) cause a UCC financing statement or statements with respect to the security interests created by this Mortgage in such Substitute Airframe or other requisite documents or instruments to be filed in such place or places as necessary in order to perfect the Mortgagee’s security interest therein in the United States, or in any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered, (D) furnish the Mortgagee with an opinion of counsel to Owner (which may be external counsel or Owner’s legal department or such other internal counsel of Owner as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee) addressed to the Mortgagee to the effect that upon such substitution, such Substitute Airframe will be subject to the Lien of this Mortgage and addressing the matters set forth in clauses (A) and (B), (E) furnish the Mortgagee with evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 2.06 with respect to such Substitute Airframe, (F) furnish the Mortgagee with a copy of a bill of sale respecting the conveyance to Owner of such Substitute Airframe and (G) furnish the Mortgagee with an opinion of counsel to Owner (which may be external counsel or Owner’s legal department or such other internal counsel of Owner as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee) to the effect that the Mortgagee will be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Substitute Airframe; provided that (i) such opinion need not be delivered to the extent that the benefits of Section 1110 were not, by reason of a change in law or governmental or judicial interpretation thereof, available to the Mortgagee with respect to the Aircraft immediately prior to such substitution and (ii) such opinion may contain such qualifications and assumptions as shall at the time be customary in opinions rendered in comparable circumstances.

In the case of the Substitute Airframe subjected to the Lien of this Mortgage under this Section 2.04(f), promptly upon the recordation of the Mortgage Supplement covering such Substitute Airframe pursuant to the Act (or pursuant to the applicable law of such other jurisdiction in which such Substitute Airframe is registered), Owner will cause to be delivered to the Mortgagee a favorable opinion of aviation law counsel to Owner (which may be external aviation law counsel or Owner’s legal department or such other internal counsel of Owner as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee) addressed to the Mortgagee as to the due registration of the Replacement Aircraft (after giving effect to the substitution of such Substitute Airframe) and the due recordation of such Mortgage Supplement pursuant to the Act.

For all purposes hereof, upon the attachment of the Lien of this Mortgage thereto, the Substitute Airframe shall become part of the Collateral and shall be deemed an “Airframe” as defined herein. Upon compliance with clauses (A) through (G) of the second preceding paragraph, the Mortgagee shall (x) execute and deliver to Owner an appropriate instrument releasing the replaced Airframe, all proceeds (including, without limitation, requisition proceeds and insurance proceeds, if any) with respect to the replaced Airframe, and all rights relating to the foregoing, from the Lien of this Mortgage, and will take such actions as may be required to be taken by the Mortgagee to discharge any International Interest of the Mortgagee registered with the International Registry in relation to such replaced Airframe and (y) provide a notice to the Mortgagee and Lenders setting forth (1) the date of the substitution which shall be the date of filing of the Mortgage Supplement described in clause (A) of the second preceding paragraph, (2) the model of the Substitute Airframe, (3) the manufacturer serial numbers of the Substitute Airframe and Airframe replaced by the Substitute Airframe, and (4) the registration numbers of the Replacement Aircraft of which the Substitute Airframe is a part and the Aircraft of which the Airframe replaced by the Substitute Airframe is part.

In the event that any Substitute Airframe is a different type than the Airframe being replaced, the Owner shall substitute Replacement Engines associated with such Replacement Airframe in accordance with Section 2.04(e).

(i) such person is organized, existing and in good standing under the Laws of the United States, any State of the United States or the District of Columbia and, upon consummation of such transaction, such person will be a U.S. Air Carrier;

(ii) such person executes and delivers to Mortgagee a duly authorized, legal, valid, binding and enforceable agreement, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Mortgagee, containing an effective assumption by such person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant, agreement and condition in the Operative Agreements to be performed or observed by Owner;

(iii) if the Aircraft is, at the time, registered with the FAA, such person makes such filings and recordings with the FAA pursuant to the Act or if the Aircraft is, at the time, not registered with FAA, such person makes such filings and recordings with the applicable Aviation Authority as shall be necessary to evidence such consolidation or merger;

(iv) such person makes such registrations with the International Registry as shall be permitted to evidence such consolidation or merger; and

Section 4.01 Events of Default. It shall be an Event of Default hereunder and for all purposes of the Cape Town Treaty, if under the Credit Agreement an “Event of Default” shall occur and be continuing thereunder, or if any of the following events shall occur and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or come about or be effected by operation of Law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(i) the Owner shall fail to carry and maintain, or cause to be carried and maintained, insurance on and in respect of the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.06.

Section 4.02 Remedies with Respect to Collateral.

(a) Remedies Available. Upon (i) the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, the Mortgagee (acting at the direction of the Lead Lenders) may do one or more of the following:

(i) cause Owner, upon the written demand of the Mortgagee, at Owner’s expense, to deliver promptly, and Owner shall deliver promptly, all or such part of the Airframes, the Engines, other Collateral as the Mortgagee may so demand to the Mortgagee or its order, or the Mortgagee, at its option may (y) enter upon the premises where all or any part of the Airframes, the Engines, or other Collateral are located and take immediate possession (to the exclusion of the Owner and all Persons claiming under or through Owner) of and remove the same by summary proceedings or otherwise together with any engine which is not an Engine but which is installed on an Airframe, subject to all of the rights of the owner, lessor, or lien holder of or with respect to such engine;

(ii) sell all or any part of the Airframes, Engines, or other Collateral at public or private sale, whether or not the Mortgagee shall at the time have possession thereof, as the Mortgagee may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any part of the Airframes, the Engines or other Collateral as the Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may determine, all free and clear of any rights or claims of whatsoever kind of Owner, any person claiming by, through or under Owner and any person holding an interest subordinate to the interests of the Mortgagee hereunder; or

(iii) exercise any or all of the rights and powers and pursue any and all remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York.

Upon every taking of possession of Collateral under this Section 4.02, the Mortgagee (acting at the direction of the Lead Lenders) may, from time to time, at the expense of the Owner, make all such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral as it may deem proper. In each such case, the Mortgagee shall have the right to maintain, use, insure, operate, store, lease, control or manage the Collateral and to carry on business and to exercise all rights and powers of Owner relating to the Collateral in connection therewith, as the Mortgagee shall deem appropriate, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, insurance, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Mortgagee may determine; and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products, proceeds and profits of the Collateral and every part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Mortgagee under any provision of this Mortgage to collect and receive all cash held by, or required to be deposited with, the Mortgagee hereunder. Such tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products, proceeds and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of using, operating, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral, and of all maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacement, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments which the Mortgagee may be required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance or other proper charges upon the Collateral or any part thereof (including the employment of engineers and accountants to examine, inspect and make reports upon the properties and books and records of Owner), and all other payments which the Mortgagee may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Mortgage, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Mortgagee, and of all Persons engaged and employed by the Mortgagee.

In addition, Owner shall be liable for all legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of the Mortgagee’s remedies with respect thereto, including all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the retaking, return or sale of any Airframe, Engines, or other Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof under the UCC, which amounts shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Mortgage.

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or the Term Loans shall have been declared forthwith due and payable pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Mortgagee may at any time thereafter while any Event of Default shall be continuing, without notice of any kind to Owner (except as provided herein) to the extent permitted by law, carry out or enforce any one or more of the actions and remedies provided in this Article 4 or elsewhere in this Mortgage or otherwise available to a secured party under the UCC as in effect at the time in New York State, whether or not any or all of the Collateral is subject to the jurisdiction of such UCC and whether or not such remedies are referred to in this Article 4.

Nothing in the foregoing shall affect the right of each Secured Party to receive all payments of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations held by such Secured Party and all other amounts owing to such Secured Party as and when the same may be due.

(b) Notice of Sale. The Mortgagee shall give Owner at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the date fixed for any public sale of any of its Airframes, Engines, or other Collateral, or the date on or after which any private sale will be held, which notice Owner hereby agrees is reasonable notice.

(c) Receiver. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, to the extent permitted by law, the Mortgagee shall be entitled, as a matter of right as against Owner, without notice or demand and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations or the solvency of Owner, upon the commencement of judicial proceedings by it to enforce any right under this Mortgage, to the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof and of the tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits thereof for the recovery of judgment for the indebtedness secured by the Lien created under this Mortgage or for the enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under applicable law.

(d) Concerning Sales. At any sale under this Article, any Secured Party may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale, may make payment on account thereof as herein provided, free of any right of redemption, stay valuation or appraisal on the part of Owner (all said rights being hereby waived and released to the fullest extent permitted by law) and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor. Any purchaser shall be entitled, for the purpose of making payment for the property purchased, to deliver any of the Obligations in lieu of cash in the amount which shall be payable thereon as principal or interest. Said Obligations, in case the amount so payable to the holders thereof shall be less than the amounts due thereon, shall be returned to the holders thereof after being stamped or endorsed to show partial payment.

Section 4.03 Waiver of Appraisement, Etc. Owner, for itself and all who may claim under it, waives, to the extent that it lawfully may, all right to have the property in the Collateral marshalled upon any foreclosure hereof, and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclosure under this Mortgage may order the sale of the Collateral as an entirety.

Section 4.04 Application of Proceeds. After the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, any payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of the Collateral, when received by the Mortgagee or any other Secured Party in cash or its equivalent, will be applied in the order set forth in and in accordance with Section 2.14(b) of the Credit Agreement.

Section 4.05 Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Mortgagee or otherwise in this Mortgage shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given under this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute or treaty (including, without limitation, the Cape Town Treaty) and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or omission of the Mortgagee in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. No notice to or demand on Owner in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Mortgagee to any other or further action in any circumstances. In the event that the Mortgagee shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Mortgagee may recover actual expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment.

Section 4.06 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Mortgagee shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, sale entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in every such case Owner, the Mortgagee and each holder of any of the Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the security interest created under this Mortgage, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted (but otherwise without prejudice).

(e) Insured Claims. In the case of any Claim indemnified by Owner hereunder that is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by Owner, each Indemnitee agrees to cooperate, at Owner’s expense, with the insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend and compromise such Claim.

(f) Claims Procedure. An Indemnitee shall promptly notify Owner of any Claim as to which indemnification is sought. Such Indemnitee shall promptly submit to the Owner all additional information in such Indemnitee’s possession to substantiate such Claim as the Owner reasonably requests. Subject to the rights of the Owner’s insurers, Owner may, at its sole cost and expense, investigate any Claim, and may in its sole discretion defend or compromise any Claim. Owner shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, acting through counsel acceptable to the respective Indemnitee, (A) so long as Owner has agreed in a writing acceptable to such Indemnitee that Owner is liable to such Indemnitee for such Claim hereunder (unless such Claim is covered by Section 6.11(d)), in any judicial or administrative proceeding that involves solely a claim for one or more Claims, to assume responsibility for and control thereof, (B) so long as Owner has agreed in a writing acceptable to such Indemnitee that Owner is liable to such Indemnitee for such Claim hereunder (unless such Claim is covered by Section 6.11(d)), in any judicial or administrative proceeding involving a claim for one or more Claims and other claims related or unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, to assume responsibility for and control of such claim for Claims to the extent that the same may be and is severed from such other claims (and such Indemnitee shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such severance), and (C) in any other case, to be consulted by such Indemnitee with respect to judicial proceedings subject to the control of such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the Owner shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any such judicial or administrative proceedings (i) while an Event of Default exists, (ii) if such proceeding will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Lien permitted under this Mortgage and the Credit Agreement) on any Aircraft, Airframe, Engine, other Collateral or any part thereof, or (iii) if such proceeding could in the good faith opinion of such Indemnitee entail any material risk of criminal liability or present a conflict of interest making separate representation necessary, and, in any such proceeding, the Owner shall be liable for the cost of such proceeding and (subject to the provisions of Section 6.11(d)) any Claim resulting therefrom. The affected Indemnitee may participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in any judicial proceeding controlled by Owner pursuant to the preceding provisions. At the Owner’s expense, any Indemnitee shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Owner in connection therewith. Such Indemnitee shall not enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim without the prior written consent of the Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Claim. Where Owner or its insurers undertake the defense of an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim, no additional legal fees or expenses of such Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Claim shall be indemnified hereunder unless such fees or expenses were incurred at the written request of Owner or such insurers. Subject to the requirements of any policy of insurance, an Indemnitee may participate at its own expense in any judicial proceeding controlled by Owner pursuant to the preceding provisions; provided that such party’s participation does not, in the Opinion of Counsel appointed by Owner or its insurers to conduct such proceedings, interfere with such control. Such participation shall not constitute a waiver of the indemnification provided in this Section 6.11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Owner shall not under any circumstances be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnitees with respect to any one Claim unless a conflict of interest shall exist among such Indemnitees.

(g) Subrogation. To the extent that a Claim is in fact paid in full by the Owner or their insurer, the Owner or such insurer (as the case may be) shall, without any further action, be subrogated to the rights and remedies of the Indemnitee on whose behalf such Claim was paid with respect to the transaction or event giving rise to such Claim. Such Indemnitee shall give such further assurances or agreements and shall cooperate with Owner or such insurer, as the case may be, to permit Owner or such insurer to pursue such rights and remedies, if any, to the extent reasonably requested by Owner. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if an Indemnitee receives any payment, in whole or in part, from any party other than Owner or its insurers with respect to any Claim paid by Owner or its insurers, it shall promptly pay over to Owner the amount received (but not an amount in excess of the amount Owner or any of its insurers has paid in respect of such Claim). Any amount referred to in the preceding sentence that is payable to Owner shall not be paid to Owner, or, if it has been previously paid directly to Owner, shall not be retained by Owner, if at the time of such payment an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be paid to and held by the Mortgagee as security for the Obligations. At the option of the Mortgagee, such amount payable shall be applied against the Obligations when and as they become due and payable. At such time as such Event of Default is no longer continuing, such amount, to the extent not previously so applied against Owner’s obligations, shall be paid to Owner.

(h) Payments; Interest. Any amount payable to any Indemnitee on account of a Claim shall be paid within 30 days after receipt by Owner of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the Claims that are the subject of and basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount payable. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 6.11 directly to an Indemnitee or to Owner, as the case may be, shall be made in immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as is specified by the payee in written directions to the payor or, if no such directions are given, by check of the payor payable to the order of the payee and mailed to the payee by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid to its address referred to in Section 6.04. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the applicable rate provided for in Section 2.07 of the Credit Agreement shall be paid, on demand, on any amount or indemnity not paid when due pursuant to this Section 6.11 until the same is paid. Such interest shall be paid in the same manner as the unpaid amount in respect of which such interest is due.

(i) Tax deduction or credit. If, by reason of any Claim payment made to or for the account of an Indemnitee by Owner pursuant to this Section 6.11, such Indemnitee subsequently realizes a tax deduction or credit (including foreign tax credit and any reduction in Taxes) not previously taken into account in computing such payment, such Indemnitee shall promptly pay to Owner, but only if Owner has made all payments then due and owing to such Indemnitee under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the sum of (1) the actual reduction in Taxes realized by such Indemnitee which is attributable to such deduction or credit, and (2) the actual reduction in Taxes realized by such Indemnitee as a result of any payment made by such Indemnitee pursuant to this sentence; provided that, Owner, upon request of such Indemnitee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Owner (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) to such Indemnitee to the extent a subsequent determination by such taxing authority results in an actual increase in Taxes payable by such Indemnitee which is attributable to such deduction or credit.

Section 6.12 Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code. It is the intention of the parties that the Mortgagee be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to Owner’s rights thereunder, with respect to the right to take possession of Aircraft and Engines, and to enforce any of its other rights or remedies as provided in this Mortgage in the event of a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in which Owner is a Owner.

Section 6.13 [Reserved].

Section 6.14 Quiet Enjoyment. The Mortgagee agrees on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties that, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, neither it nor any Person claiming through it shall take any action contrary to, or otherwise in any way interfere with or disturb (and then only in accordance with this Mortgage), the quiet enjoyment of the use and possession of the Aircraft, the Airframes, the Engines, or the Parts by Owner or any transferee of any interest in any thereof permitted under this Mortgage.

Section 6.15 Owner’s Performance and Rights. Any obligation imposed on Owner herein shall require only that Owner perform or cause to be performed such obligation, even if stated as a direct obligation, and the performance of any such obligation by any permitted assignee, lessee or transferee under an assignment, lease or transfer agreement then in effect and in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage shall constitute performance by Owner and, to the extent of such performance, discharge such obligation by Owner. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any right granted to Owner in this Mortgage shall grant Owner the right to permit such right to be exercised by any such assignee, lessee or transferee, and in the case of a lessee, as if the terms hereof were applicable to such lessee were such lessee Owner hereunder. The inclusion of specific references to obligations or rights of any such assignee, lessee or transferee in certain provisions of this Mortgage shall not in any way prevent or diminish the application of the provisions of the two sentences immediately preceding with respect to obligations or rights in respect of which specific reference to any such assignee, lessee or transferee has not been made in this Mortgage.

INSURANCE

A. Liability Insurance.

1. Except as provided in Section A.2 below, Owner (or Permitted Lessee) will carry or cause to be carried at all times, at no expense to Mortgagee, commercial aviation legal liability (including, but not limited to passenger liability, property damage, baggage liability, cargo and mail liability, hangarkeeper’s liability and contractual liability insurance) with respect to each Aircraft, each Airframe and Engines, which is (i) in an amount not less than the greater of, for each Aircraft, (x) the amount of commercial aviation legal liability insurance from time to time applicable to aircraft owned or leased and operated by Owner (or Permitted Lessee) of the same type and operating on similar routes as such Aircraft and (y) $[*****] (the “Minimum Liability Insurance Amount”) per occurrence; (ii) of the type and covering the same risks as from time to time applicable to aircraft operated by Owner (or Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such Aircraft; and (iii) maintained in effect with insurers of nationally or internationally recognized responsibility (such insurers being referred to herein as “Approved Insurers”). Owner (or Permitted Lessee) need not maintain cargo liability insurance with respect to an Aircraft, or may maintain such insurance in an amount less than the Minimum Liability Insurance Amount, as long as the amount of the cargo liability insurance, if any, maintained with respect to such Aircraft is not less than the amount of such coverage which is maintained by Owner (or Permitted Lessee) for other aircraft owned or leased by Owner (or Permitted Lessee) that are similar in type to such Aircraft and operated by Owner (or Permitted Lessee) on the same or similar routes. The coverage requirements outlined above may be subject to sub-limits and/or aggregate limits and/or deductibles as may be standard in the U.S. private aviation insurance market.

2. During any period that an Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation, Owner (or Permitted Lessee) may carry or cause to be carried with respect to such Aircraft, in lieu of the insurance required by Section A.1 above, insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said Section A.1 except that (i) the amounts of coverage shall not be required to exceed the amounts of public liability and property damage insurance from time to time applicable to aircraft owned or operated by Owner (or Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such Aircraft which are on the ground and not in operation and (ii) the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time shall be applicable to aircraft owned or operated by Owner (or Permitted Lessee) of the same type which are on the ground and not in operation.

X. Xxxx Insurance.

1. Except as provided in Section B.2 below, Owner (or Permitted Lessee) will carry or cause to be carried at all times, at no expense to Mortgagee, with Approved Insurers “all-risk” ground and flight aircraft hull insurance covering each Aircraft (including the Engines when they are installed on such Airframe or any other airframe) which is of the type as from time to time applicable to aircraft owned by Owner (or Permitted Lessee) of the same type as such Aircraft for an amount denominated in United States Dollars not less than the Insured Amount. The coverage requirements outlined above may be subject to deductibles as may be standard in the U.S. private aviation insurance market.

Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Section B.1 or Section C covering an Aircraft and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies (i) shall name Mortgagee as loss payee for any proceeds to be paid under such policies up to an amount equal to the Insured Amount and (ii) shall provide that (A) in the event of a loss involving proceeds in excess of the Threshold Amount, the proceeds in respect of such loss up to an amount equal to the Insured Amount shall be payable to the Mortgagee, except in the case of a loss with respect to an Engine installed on an airframe other than the Airframe, in which case Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) shall endeavor to arrange for any payment of insurance proceeds in respect of such loss to be held for the account of the Mortgagee whether such payment is made to Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) or any third party, it being understood and agreed that in the case of any payment to Mortgagee otherwise than in respect of an Event of Loss, the Mortgagee shall, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to it that the damage giving rise to such payment shall have been repaired or that such payment shall then be required to pay for repairs then being made, pay the amount of such payment to Owner or its order, and (B) the entire amount of any loss involving proceeds of the Threshold Amount or less or the amount of any proceeds of any loss in excess of the Insured Amount shall be paid to Owner or its order unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the insurers have been notified thereof by the Mortgagee. In the case of a loss with respect to an engine (other than an Engine) installed on an Airframe, Mortgagee shall hold any payment to it of any insurance proceeds in respect of such loss for the account of Owner or any other third party that is entitled to receive such proceeds.

2. During any period that the Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation, Owner (or Permitted Lessee) may carry or cause to be carried, in lieu of the insurance required by Section B.1 above, insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said Section B.1 except that the scope of the risks and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time applicable to aircraft owned by Owner (or Permitted Lessee) of the same type similarly on the ground and not in operation, provided that Owner (or Permitted Lessee) shall maintain insurance against risk of loss or damage to the Aircraft in an amount not less than the Insured Amount during such period that the Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation.

C. War-risk, Hijacking and Allied Perils Insurance. If Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) shall at any time operate or propose to operate an Aircraft, Airframe or Engine (i) in any area of recognized hostilities or (ii) on international routes and war-risk, hijacking or allied perils insurance is maintained by Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) with respect to other aircraft owned or operated by Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) on such routes or in such areas, Owner (or Permitted Lessee) shall maintain or cause to be maintained war-risk, hijacking and related perils coverage of substantially the same type carried by United States air carriers operating the same or comparable models of aircraft on similar routes or in such areas and in no event in an amount less than the Insured Amount. The coverage requirements outlined above may be subject to deductibles as may be standard in the U.S. private aviation insurance market.

D. General Provisions. Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with Sections A, B and C, including any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for such policies:

(i) in the case of Section A, shall name each of Mortgagee (in its individual capacity, as Administrative Agent and as Mortgagee), and each Lender, and each of their Related Parties, as an additional insured (collectively, the “Additional Insureds”), as its interests may appear;

(ii) shall apply worldwide and have no territorial restrictions or limitations (except only in the case of war, hijacking and related perils insurance required under Section C, which shall apply to the fullest extent available in the international insurance market);

(iii) shall provide that, in respect of the interests of the Additional Insureds in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated or impaired by any act or omission (including misrepresentation and nondisclosure) by Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) or any other Person (including, without limitation, use for illegal purposes of the Aircraft or any Engine) and shall insure the Additional Insureds regardless of any breach or violation of any representation, warranty, declaration, term or condition contained in such policies by Owner (or any Permitted Lessee);

(iv) shall provide that, if the insurers cancel such insurance for any reason whatsoever, or if the same is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, or if any material change is made in the insurance which adversely affects the interest of any of the Additional Insureds, such cancellation, lapse or change shall not be effective as to the Additional Insureds for thirty (30) days (seven (7) days in the case of war risk, hijacking and allied perils insurance and ten (10) days in case of nonpayment of premium) after transmittal to the Additional Insureds of written notice by such insurers of such cancellation, lapse or change, provided that if any notice period specified above is not reasonably obtainable, such policies shall provide for as long a period of prior notice as shall then be reasonably obtainable;

(v) shall waive any rights of setoff (including for unpaid premiums), recoupment, counterclaim or other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, against each Additional Insured;

(vi) shall waive any right of subrogation against any Additional Insured;

(vii) shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be available to any Additional Insured;

(viii) shall provide that all of the liability insurance provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in all respects as if a separate policy had been issued covering each party insured thereunder;

(ix) shall provide that none of the Additional Insureds shall be liable for any insurance premium; and

(x) if the war risk coverage and hull coverage are provided by different insurers, shall contain a 50/50% Clause per Lloyd’s Aviation Underwriters’ Association Standard Policy Form AVS 103 or US market equivalent.

E. Reports and certificates; Other Information. On or prior to the closing date and on or prior to each renewal date of the insurance policies required hereunder, Owner (or Permitted Lessee) will furnish or cause to be furnished to Mortgagee insurance certificates describing in reasonable detail the insurance maintained by Owner (or Permitted Lessee) hereunder and a report, signed by Owner’s (or Permitted Lessee’s) regularly retained independent insurance broker (the “insurance broker”), stating the opinion of such insurance broker that (a) all premiums in connection with such insurance then due have been paid and (b) such insurance complies with the terms of this Exhibit F, except that such opinion shall not be required with respect to war risk insurance or indemnity provided by the U.S. government. To the extent such agreement is reasonably obtainable Owner (or Permitted Lessee) will also cause the insurance broker to agree to advise Mortgagee in writing of any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of Owner (or Permitted Lessee) of which it has knowledge and which might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the aircraft or engines required hereunder or cause the cancellation or termination of such insurance, and to advise Mortgagee in writing at least thirty (30) days (seven (7) days in the case of war-risk and allied perils coverage and ten (10) days in the case of nonpayment of premium, or such shorter period as may be available in the international insurance market, as the case may be) prior to the cancellation, lapse or material adverse change of any insurance maintained pursuant to this Exhibit F.

F. Right to Pay Premiums. The Additional Insureds shall have the rights but not the obligations of an additional insured with respect to paying premiums. None of Mortgagee and the other Additional Insureds shall have any obligation to pay any premium, commission, assessment or call due on any such insurance (including reinsurance). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of cancellation of any insurance due to the nonpayment of premiums, Mortgagee shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to pay any such premium in respect of the Aircraft that is due in respect of the coverage pursuant to this Mortgage and to maintain such coverage, as Mortgagee may require, until the scheduled expiry date of such insurance and, in such event, Owner shall, upon demand, reimburse Mortgagee for amounts so paid by them.
