SECTION 3.5 Replacement of Parts. The Grantor, at its own cost and expense, will promptly cause the replacement of all Parts 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

All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Liens described in Section 3.1), shall be in as good operating condition as, and shall have a value and utility at least substantially equal to, the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof. The Grantor's rights, title and interests in all Parts at any time removed from any item of Equipment shall remain subject to the Lien of this Agreement no matter where located, until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by Parts which have been incorporated in such item of Equipment and which meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified above. Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to any item of Equipment as above provided (other than a Temporary Part described in Section 3.1), without further act, (i) the Grantor's rights, title and interests in such replacement Part shall become subject to the Lien of this Agreement, and such replacement Part shall be deemed part of such item of Equipment for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated in such item of Equipment, and (ii) the Grantor's rights, title and interests in the replaced Part shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement and the replaced Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder.

In addition, the Grantor, at no cost or expense to the Lender, may, from time to time, cause such alterations and modifications in and additions to any item of Equipment to be made as the Grantor may deem desirable; provided, that each such alteration, modification and addition is described in the Purchase Agreement or readily removable from such item of Equipment; and provided, further, that no such alteration, modification or addition shall (i) materially diminish the value, utility or condition of such item of Equipment below the value, utility or condition thereof immediately prior to such alteration, modification or addition, assuming the item of Equipment was then of the value and utility and in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) cause the airworthiness certification of the Aircraft to cease to be in good standing under the Act. The Grantor's rights, title and interests in all Parts added to the Aircraft, the Airframe or an Engine as the result of such alteration, modification or addition shall, without further act, be subject to the Lien of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence of this Section 3.6, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Grantor may remove any Part if (i) such Part is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated in such item of Equipment at the time of delivery thereof or any Part in replacement of or substitution for any such Part, (ii) such Part is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to such item of Equipment pursuant to the terms of this Article 3, and (iii) such Part can be removed from such item of Equipment without causing any material damage thereto.

SECTION 3.9 Change of Name. In connection with any change of the name, identity or structure of Grantor that might make the UCC financing statements filed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby seriously misleading within the meaning of the UCC or any change in the jurisdiction of organization of the Grantor, shall (a) duly file appropriate financing statements in all appropriate filing offices prior to such change and (b) give the Lender notice of such change and copies of the form of such financing statements at least 10 Business Days prior to such change.

The Grantor shall permit the Lender or any Person designated by the Lender to inspect (i) the Aircraft; provided, however, that as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall not exercise such inspection rights more than once a year or in such a way so as to unreasonably interfere with Grantor's use of the Aircraft and (ii) the logs, maintenance records and other records maintained with respect to the Aircraft.
ARTICLE 4
EVENTS OF LOSS
SECTION 4.1 Event of Loss with Respect to the Aircraft. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, the Grantor shall give the Lender prompt written notice (and in any event within three Banking Days after such occurrence) thereof, and the Grantor shall, on or before the Banking Day which is the earliest of (i) the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the occurrence of such Event of Loss, or (ii) the next Banking Day following the receipt of insurance proceeds with respect to such occurrence, pay to the Lender the Loss Value. In the event of payment in full by the Grantor of the appropriate Loss Value and all other amounts then due and payable hereunder and under any other Loan Document, the Grantor's rights, title and interest in the Aircraft having suffered the Event of Loss shall be released from this Agreement and the Lender shall execute and deliver, at the Grantor's cost and expense, such instruments as may be reasonably required to evidence such release.
SECTION 4.2 Application of Payments from Governmental Authorities or other Persons.

- (a)
- Reduction of Loss Value. Such payments shall be applied in reduction of the Grantor's obligation to pay the Loss Value, if not already
paid by the Grantor, or, if already paid by the Grantor, shall be applied to reimburse the Grantor for its payment of such amounts. The balance, if any, of such payment remaining' thereafter, and
after payment of all amounts then due and payable under the Loan Documents, shall be paid to the Grantor.
- (b)
- Use of Aircraft Not Constituting an Event of Loss. If such payments are received with respect to a requisition for use by the
government which does not constitute an Event of Loss, such payments may be retained by the Grantor.
- (c)
- Payments During Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, any payments (other than insurance proceeds, the application of which is provided for in Article 5) received at any time by the Lender from any governmental authority or other Person with respect to any Event of Loss, which are payable to the Grantor, shall not be paid to the Grantor if at the time of such payment an Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event all such amounts shall be paid to and held by the Lender as
8
security for the Liabilities or, at the Lender's option, applied by the Lender toward the payment of such Liabilities at the time due in such order of application as the Lender may from time to time elect. At such time as there shall not be any Event of Default or Default, all such amounts at the time held by the Lender in excess of the amount, if any, which the Lender shall have elected to apply as above provided shall be paid to the Grantor.
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Grantor hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and sets over to the Lender all rights of the Grantor to any award or payment received by or payable to the Grantor on account of an Event of Loss.
ARTICLE 5
INSURANCE
SECTION 5.1 Insurance. The Grantor shall at all times, at its own cost and expense, cause policies of insurance in such form, of such type and with insurers of recognized responsibility reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, to be procured and maintained on or in respect of the Aircraft, as follows:
- (a)
- Liability. The Grantor will cause liability insurance to be carried and maintained at all times with respect to the Aircraft and any
other type of insurance required under applicable laws and regulations of the United States with respect to the Aircraft, but in any event not less than $100,000,000 combined single limit for any one
occurrence.
- (b)
- Property. The Grantor shall cause all-risk aircraft hull insurance covering the Aircraft, including all-risk coverage with respect to any Engine or Part while not installed on the Aircraft, to be maintained in effect. Insurance required under this Section 5.1(b) shall at all times while any Liabilities are outstanding be for an amount not less than the purchase price of the Aircraft as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
Any policies maintained in accordance with this Section 5.1 shall (i) be with insurance companies of recognized responsibility, (ii) name the Lender, as an additional insured, as its interest may appear (but without imposing upon the Lender any obligation imposed upon the insured, including, without limitation, the liability to pay the premiums for such policies), (iii) in the case of the insurance described in clause (b), provide that any loss shall be payable to the Lender as its interest may appear, (iv) provide that, in respect of the interest of the Lender in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction directly or indirectly by, for or on behalf of any Person other the Lender, and shall insure the Lender as its interest may appear regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by Grantor or any other Persons, (v) provide that as against the Lender, the insurers shall waive any rights of subrogation to the extent that the Grantor has waived such rights (and the Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right of subrogation against the Lender, except for claims arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender), and (vi) provide that if such insurance is cancelled for any reason whatever, or is changed in any material respect, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to the Lender, for 30 days after receipt by the Lender of written notice by such insurers of such cancellation, change or lapse. Each insurance policy required under this Section 5.1 shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance which is carried by the Lender with respect to its interest in the Aircraft. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Lender from maintaining additional insurance at its own expense, provided that the maintaining of such insurance shall not prejudice the Grantor's ability to obtain, or recover under, the insurance required to be maintained hereunder at the direction of the Grantor or any reinsurance thereof.
9
In the event that the Grantor shall fail to cause insurance to be maintained as herein provided, the Lender may at its option (but shall not be obligated to) provide such insurance and in such event, the Grantor shall, upon demand, reimburse such Person for the cost thereof, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, which reimbursement obligation shall be secured by the Collateral. No such payment, performance or compliance shall be deemed to cure any default hereunder or otherwise relieve the Grantor of its obligations with respect thereto. Nothing contained in this Article 5 shall limit or prohibit any Indemnified Party from obtaining insurance for its own account, and any proceeds payable thereunder shall be payable as provided in the insurance policy relating thereto; provided, however, that no such insurance may be obtained which would limit or otherwise adversely affect the coverage of any insurance which the Grantor causes to be maintained with respect to the Aircraft.
SECTION 5.2 Certificates of Insurance. The Grantor agrees to furnish the Lender on the Closing Date, and promptly after the terms have been fixed for any renewal of, or changes in any material respect with respect to, the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Article 5 (but in no event less frequently than annually, on or before February 1, of each year, commencing in 2003), until the Liabilities secured hereby are paid in full, an insurance certificate signed by an independent insurance broker reasonably acceptable to the Lender describing in reasonable detail the insurance then carried (or to be carried) on each item of Equipment. The Grantor shall cause such broker to agree to advise the Lender in writing at its address set forth in this Agreement at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or termination date of any insurance carried and maintained on any item of Equipment pursuant to this Article 5. The Grantor shall advise the Lender of any act or omission which might render insurance unenforceable in whole or in part.
SECTION 5.3 Proceeds of Insurance. Any proceeds of insurance received by the Lender as a result of an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, shall be applied to reduce the Grantor's obligation to pay the Loss Value pursuant to Section 4.1, if not already paid by the Grantor, or, if already paid by the Grantor, shall be paid over to the Grantor. In the event of any damage to, or loss, theft or destruction of, the Aircraft by any cause whatsoever not involving an Event of Loss, all insurance proceeds in respect thereof shall be paid to the Grantor in trust for the repair and restoration of the Aircraft to good repair, condition and working order.
ARTICLE 6

SECTION 6.2 Remedies. The Grantor agrees, to the full extent that it lawfully may, that if one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then in every such case the Lender may exercise any or all of the rights and powers and pursue any and all of the remedies available to it hereunder or in any other Loan Document or available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other provision of law or equity; the Lender may exclude the Grantor from the Collateral; and the Lender may sell, assign, transfer and deliver, to the extent permitted by law, the Collateral or any interest therein, whether or not the Collateral is in the constructive possession of the Lender or the Person conducting the sale, at any private sale or public auction with or without demand, advertisement or notice (except as may be required by law) of the date, time and place of sale and any adjournment thereof, for cash or credit or other property, for immediate or future delivery and for such price or prices and on such terms and to such Persons as the Lender in its discretion may determine or as may be required by law. It is agreed that 10 days' notice to the Grantor of the date, time and place (and terms, in the case of a private sale) of any proposed sale by the Lender of the Collateral or any part thereof or interest therein is reasonable.
The Lender may proceed to enforce its rights by directing payment to it of all monies payable under any agreement relating to the Collateral, by proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a receiver or for the sale of all or any part of the Collateral possession to which the Lender shall at the time be entitled hereunder or for foreclosure of such Collateral, or by any other action, suit, remedy or proceeding authorized or permitted by this Agreement or at law or by equity, and may file such proofs of claim or other papers or documents as necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lender asserted or upheld in any bankruptcy, receivership or other judicial case or proceeding.
In addition to the foregoing remedies, the Grantor shall be liable for any and all unpaid amounts due hereunder and under the other Loan Documents before, during and after the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies and for all reasonable legal fees and other reasonable costs and expenses of the Lender, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and legal expenses, incurred by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of any remedies with respect thereto.
SECTION 6.3 Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to the Lender or otherwise in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein or therein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein or therein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Lender, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of the Grantor to be an acquiescence therein.
SECTION 6.4 Power of Attorney. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Grantor hereby appoints the Lender or its designated agent as such Grantor's attorney-in-fact, irrevocably, with full power of substitution, to collect all payments with respect to the Collateral due and to become due under or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to receive all moneys (including, but not limited to, proceeds of insurance) which may become due under any policy insuring the Collateral and all awards payable in connection with the condemnation, requisition or
11
seizure of the Collateral, or any part thereof, to execute proofs of claim, to endorse drafts, checks and other instruments for the payment of money payable to the Grantor in payment of such insurance moneys and to do all other acts, things, take any actions (including the filing of financing statements or other documents) or institute any proceedings which the Lender may deem to be necessary or appropriate at any time to protect and preserve the interest of the Lender in the Collateral, or in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 6.5 Distribution of Amounts Received after an Event of Default. All payments received and amounts realized by the Lender with respect to the Collateral after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whether realized from the exercise of any remedies pursuant to this Article 6 or otherwise), as well as payments or amounts then held by the Lender as part of the Collateral, shall be distributed by the Lender in the following order of priority:
First, so much of such payments and amounts as shall be required to pay the expenses paid by the Lender pursuant to this Article 6 (to the extent not previously reimbursed) shall be paid to the Lender;
Second, so much of such payments or amounts as shall be required to reimburse amounts paid by any Indemnified Party (for which indemnification is afforded hereunder and to the extent not previously reimbursed) shall be paid to such Indemnified Party;
Third, so much of such payments or amounts remaining as shall be required to pay in full the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan, the accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the date of distribution, indemnification for funding losses, if any, and all other Liabilities, shall be paid to the Lender; such payments or amounts to be applied to the amounts so due, owing or unpaid in such order of application as the Lender may from time to time elect; and
Fourth, the balance, if any, of such payments or amounts remaining thereafter shall be paid to the Grantor.
SECTION 6.6 Suits for Enforcement. In case of any default in payment of the Loan beyond any applicable grace period, then, regardless of whether or not the Loan has then been accelerated, the Lender may proceed to enforce the payment of the Loan. The Grantor agrees that, in the case of any default in the payment of the Loan, it will pay the Lender such further amount as shall be sufficient to pay the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses.
