2.	Exposure Protection

(a)

Upon commencement of the Agreement, Member or Servicer may retain and hold all funds paid to Member by a Card Association on account of Sales Records submitted by Carrier to Servicer or Member as Reserved Funds until the amount of the Aggregate Protection equals the Required Amount, as determined in accordance with Sections 3 and 8 of this Exposure Protection Schedule. In lieu of retaining Reserved Funds, or in addition to retaining and holding Reserved Funds, Member or Servicer, in its sole discretion, may demand that Carrier, and Carrier shall upon such demand, remit to Servicer within five (5) business days (“Business Days”) of Servicer’s demand immediately available funds to hold as the Deposit in an amount that when added to amounts (if any) retained and held by or on behalf of Member or Servicer as the Deposit causes the amount of the Aggregate Protection to equal the Required Amount. The Deposit amount shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 of this Exposure Protection Schedule. Member, Servicer or any Secured Party will hold the Deposit as security for the due and punctual payment of and performance by Carrier of the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall Member and/or Servicer retain and hold funds under this Agreement where the amount of the Aggregate Protection exceeds the Required Amount.

(b)

To the extent Carrier has or may at any time acquire any rights in Carrier’s Rights, Carrier grants to each of Servicer, Member, and all other Secured Parties a Lien on the Deposit and all other Carrier’s Rights to secure the payment and performance by Carrier of all Obligations. Each Secured Party shall act as agent

*****

Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

for all Secured Parties to the extent that any such Secured Party controls or possesses the Deposit or any collateral hereunder or is named as Secured Party on any filing, registration or recording. Carrier hereby acknowledges that notwithstanding the foregoing grant of a Lien, Reserved Funds represent only a future right to payment owed to Carrier under the Agreement, payment of which is subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and to Carrier’s complete and irrevocable fulfillment of its obligations and duties under the Agreement and do not constitute funds of Carrier.

(c)

Carrier further agrees that during the term of the Agreement, Carrier shall not grant, or attempt to grant, to any other Person or suffer to exist in favor of any other Person any Lien or other interest in Carrier’s Rights (if any) or in any proceeds thereof unless any such Lien or other interest and the priority thereof are subject to a subordination agreement in favor of Member, Servicer and all other Secured Parties and satisfactory to Servicer.

(d)

Carrier hereby acknowledges that Member and Servicer dispute the existence of any interest of Carrier in any rights to payment from Cardholders or Card Issuers arising out of the Sales Records and further acknowledges that to the extent it may have an interest therein, such interest is subordinate to the interests of the Secured Parties and of any of their respective subrogees.

(e)

Carrier will do all acts and things, and will execute, endorse, deliver, file, register or record all instruments, statements, declarations or agreements (including pledges, assignments, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, etc.) requested by Servicer, in form reasonably satisfactory to Servicer, to establish, perfect, maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the security interest and hypothec of Secured Parties in all Carrier’s Rights and in all proceeds of the foregoing. Carrier hereby irrevocably appoints Servicer (and all persons, officers, employees or agents designated by Servicer), its agent and attorney-in-fact to do all such acts and things contemplated by this paragraph in the name of Carrier. Without limiting the foregoing, Carrier hereby authorizes Servicer to file one or more financing statements or continuation statements in respect hereof, and amendments thereto, relating to any part of the collateral described herein without the signature of Carrier. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of the Agreement or of a financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed in lieu of the original in any or all jurisdictions which accept such reproductions.

3.	Adjustments to Deposit

(a)

Servicer will use the Methodology described in Section 8 of this Exposure Protection Schedule (the “Methodology”) to calculate Gross Exposure each Business Day. Carrier acknowledges that Servicer has explained to it and it understands Servicer’s Methodology for determining Gross Exposure and the

*****

Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

amount of the Aggregate Protection and hereby agrees to be bound by such Methodology and the determinations made by Servicer as a result thereof. Among other things, Carrier understands that Gross Exposure includes the value of Travel Costs for goods or services sold to Cardholders who used their Cards to purchase such goods or services with respect to which Carrier has not yet provided such goods or services. Servicer and Carrier may change the Methodology by mutual agreement.

(b)

The amount of the Deposit shall be increased or decreased each Business Day, as appropriate, based on the Methodology so that the amount of the Aggregate Protection will at all times equal the Required Amount. Any necessary increases to the Deposit may be made, at Servicer’s sole discretion by Member or Servicer withholding as Reserved Funds an amount up to ***** of amounts otherwise payable to Carrier under Section 6.2 of the MTOS until the amount of the Aggregate Protection is at least equal to the Required Amount, or by federal wire transfer of immediately available funds from Carrier to an account designated by Servicer, on the first (1st) Business Day after Carrier’s receipt of notice from Servicer that an increase is required and the amount thereof. If the Servicer agrees to permit increases to the amount of the Deposit by wire transfer and the funds required to increase the amount of the Deposit so that the Aggregate Protection is equal to the Required Amount are not transferred to Servicer as required by this Section 3, Member or Servicer may immediately withhold on a daily basis as Reserved Funds an amount up to ***** of amounts otherwise payable to Carrier under Section 6.2 of the MTOS until the amount of the Aggregate Protection at least equals the Required Amount. Member or Servicer shall remit to Carrier from the Deposit the amount necessary to reduce the amount of the Aggregate Protection to equal the Required Amount on each Business Day in accordance with Section 6.2 of the MTOS.

(c)

The amount of the Deposit to be maintained hereunder may be reduced in accordance with Section 9 of this Exposure Protection Schedule pursuant to which Servicer accepts Letter of Credit in lieu of all or a portion of the Deposit so long as the Aggregate Protection equals the Required Amount.

(d)

If an event or series of events occurs that can reasonably be determined to have a materially positive effect on Carrier’s present and prospective financial condition, then at any time after six months after the Effective Date, Carrier may once each quarter submit a written request to Servicer to review the Required Amount for consideration of a reduction in the percentage of Gross Exposure required to be maintained as the amount of the Aggregate Protection (a “Modification Request”). Servicer shall review the Modification Request and information presented by Carrier and attempt to respond to such request within thirty (30) days. Any determination of whether to agree to the Modification Request shall be made in the sole discretion of Servicer.

*****

4.	Control of Deposit

Carrier acknowledges that (i) funds remitted to Member or Servicer by Carrier and (ii) funds paid by Card Associations and held by Member, Servicer or any Secured Party as the Deposit may be commingled with other funds of Member, Servicer or such Secured Party, and further acknowledges that all such funds, and any investment of funds shall be in the name and control of Member, Servicer or such Secured Party, and Carrier shall have no interest in any securities, instruments or other contracts or any interest, dividends or other earnings accruing thereon or in connection therewith. It is the understanding of the Parties that, notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, (a) the sole obligation of Member or Servicer with respect to the Deposit shall be the obligation to pay to Carrier amounts equal to the amounts attributable to Travel Costs with respect to which Carrier has provided goods or services net of any Obligations owed Carrier to any Secured Party, (b) such obligation to make payment to Carrier is at all times subject to the terms of the Agreement, and (c) such payment shall only be due and payable upon complete and irrevocable fulfillment by Carrier of all of its obligations and duties under the Agreement.

5.	Investment

To the extent permitted by applicable law or regulation, all amounts held as the Deposit will be deemed to earn a yield equal to the Applicable Rate. The amount so earned shall be credited to the Deposit on a monthly basis.

6.	Right of Offset; Recoupment; Application

At any time that an amount is due Member, Servicer or any other Secured Party from Carrier, and Member, Servicer or such other Secured Party does not obtain payment of such amount due as provided in the Agreement, Member or Servicer (each on behalf of itself and any other Secured Party) shall have the right to apply, recoup or set off any amounts otherwise owed by Member, Servicer or any other Secured Party to Carrier hereunder, including, without limitation, any amounts attributable to the Deposit, to the amount owed by Carrier. Servicer may exercise any such right for its benefit or the benefit of Member or any other Secured Party. Where any application, recoupment or set off requires the conversion of one currency into another, Servicer or Member shall be entitled to effect such conversion in accordance with its prevailing practice and Carrier shall bear all exchange risks, losses, commissions and other bank charges which may thereafter arise.

7.	Retention of Deposit After Cessation

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, during the period not to exceed ***** from the earlier of termination of this Agreement or the date upon which Carrier permanently ceases flight operations, Member and Servicer may retain the Deposit and Letters of Credit until such time as the Servicer determines that Carrier has

*****

Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

no further Obligations or potential Obligations, without any obligation to remit funds to Carrier until such time (provided, however, the Deposit shall not exceed Gross Exposure at any time). During any such period, Carrier may substitute cash collateral in lieu of any Letter of Credit that may be posted, provided that any such substitution is undertaken in a manner that does not expose Member or Servicer to liability for a preferential transfer under 11 U.S.C. §547.

8.	Methodology

“Gross Exposure” shall be calculated by the Servicer on a daily basis as follows:

****

9.	Standby Letter of Credit

(a)

The amount of the Aggregate Protection which Servicer or Member may maintain pursuant to this Exposure Protection Schedule shall include the sum of (a) the amount remaining to be drawn upon any valid and outstanding Letter of Credit, in lieu of maintaining the amount of the Deposit in an amount equal to the Required Amount and (b) the proceeds of any previous draw on a Letter of Credit held by Servicer or Member and not applied. Any such letter of credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Servicer and issued by a financial institution acceptable to Servicer, as determined by Servicer in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding any initial acceptance of a Letter of Credit, Servicer reserves the right at any time to either (i) demand delivery of a substitute Letter of Credit issued by different institution or (ii) withhold as Reserved Funds amounts necessary so that the Deposit equals the Required Amount if, in Servicer’s sole discretion, it determines that it cannot or will not continue to accept non-payment risk from the institution obligated on a Letter of Credit previously delivered to Servicer. At such time as the Servicer may no longer draw on a Letter of Credit, Servicer may require that the Deposit equal the Required Amount.

(b)

At any time that (i) Net Activity under Section 6.2 of the MTOS is negative or (ii) any event gives rise to Member’s or Servicer’s right under this Agreement to make demand on Carrier for payment to Member or Servicer, in either case after (A) application of all amounts held as part of the Deposit (other than with respect to, or cash proceeds of any drawing under, the letter of credit) so long as such application is not stayed due to an Insolvency Event and (B) application of all amounts that would otherwise be payable to Carrier from Member or Servicer under the Agreement on such date, if any, then Servicer, at its option, may draw on any Letter of Credit issued for Servicer’s benefit (for itself and as agent for any other Secured Party) with respect to the Agreement in an amount that does not exceed the sum of (i) such negative Net Activity or the amount Member or Servicer has a right to demand that the Carrier pay Member or Servicer on such date plus (ii) all amounts that are expected to become due to Member and Servicer

*****

Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

during the next one month period on the same basis. Servicer will endeavor to give Carrier notice of each draw it intends to make on a Letter of Credit, but the failure to give such notice shall not impair the right of the Servicer to make a draw on a Letter of Credit.

(c)

In addition to Servicer’s rights as set forth above in Section 9(b) and notwithstanding any of the limitations contained in Section 9(b), Servicer, at its option, may draw (in one or more draws) up to the full amount remaining undrawn on a Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events or as otherwise provided below: (a) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event; (b) receipt by Servicer or Member of notification from the issuer of the Letter of Credit that such issuer has elected not to renew the Letter of Credit; (c) notification of termination of the Agreement by either party; (d) a substantial number of the scheduled flights of Carrier fail to operate on any particular day or (e) Servicer, in its sole discretion, determines that it cannot or will not continue to accept non-payment risk from the institution obligated on a Letter of Credit previously delivered to Servicer. In addition, Servicer may draw upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to any other condition for draw provided in the Letter of Credit, and, in any event, on or after the thirtieth day prior to expiration of the Letter of Credit. No failure to draw, or delay in making a draw, on a Letter of Credit shall impair Servicer’s right to draw thereon at a later time.

(d)

Carrier acknowledges that it has no interest in any proceeds of any draw on any Letter of Credit issued for the benefit of Servicer, Member or any Secured Party and that upon any draw on any Letter of Credit, Servicer shall be entitled to hold the proceeds thereof for payment of the Obligations under the Agreement and apply such proceeds in payment thereof as and when Servicer deems appropriate subject to the terms herein. Servicer shall have no obligation to remit to any person or entity any excess proceeds of any draw on the Letter of Credit until expiration of the period specified in Section 7 of this Exposure Protection Schedule. In the event of any dispute between Carrier and the issuer of such letter of credit or any subrogee thereof, or any other person or entity with respect to entitlement to any proceeds of the letter of credit, Servicer may retain all such proceeds until any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to Servicer’s right to retain and apply proceeds in payment of the Obligations. In the event that Servicer draws on a Letter of Credit and holds the proceeds thereof at a time when Carrier is conducting normal flight operations, Servicer, at its option, may include such proceeds in its calculation of coverage for Gross Exposure and make remittances to Carrier in accordance with Section 3 of this Exposure Protection Schedule as if the proceeds were part of the Deposit. Carrier further agrees that at Servicer’s option, any excess proceeds of a Letter of Credit, as determined by Servicer in good faith after taking into account all obligations of the Carrier to the Secured Parties, may be remitted to the issuer of a Letter of Credit, or if the issuer has been reimbursed in full for all amounts owed to it on account of the draw on the Letter of Credit, to the account party thereof.

SECTION 3. HONORING CARDS.

3.1 *****

3.2 Carrier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Agents to permit Cardholders to charge Travel Costs only in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and in compliance with applicable Operating Regulations. Carrier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause compliance by Agents with all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement to be performed by Carrier or Agents. Notwithstanding any such commercially reasonable efforts by Carrier, Carrier shall be responsible for: (i) any failure by any Agent in performing the applicable provisions of the Agreement; and (ii) the settlement of Sales Records and Credit Records completed by Agents.

3.3 Before honoring a Card, Carrier shall do the following to determine whether the Card is valid: (a) where possible, examine the format of each Card presented in connection with a purchase for authenticity and confirm, by checking the effective date and the expiration date as stated on the face of the Card, that the Card has become effective and has not expired; and (b) obtain Authorization. Neither Carrier nor any Agent shall impose a requirement on Cardholders to provide any personal information such as a home or business telephone number, home or business address, driver’s license number, or a photocopy of a driver’s license as a condition for honoring Cards unless such information is required or permitted under specific circumstances cited in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Transactions that are not conducted face-to-face, Carrier may request from a Cardholder the information necessary to complete an address verification service request. Neither Carrier nor any Agent shall make a photocopy of a Card under any circumstances, nor shall a Cardholder be required to provide a photocopy of the Card as a condition for honoring the Card. Neither Carrier nor any Agent shall require a Cardholder, as a condition for honoring the Card, to sign a statement that in any way waives the Cardholder’s rights to dispute the Transaction. Carrier may require passengers to present personal information, including a driver’s license, passport, or other picture identification, for purposes of complying with Carrier’s policy or applicable law.

3.4 (a) Carrier or Agent shall obtain Authorization for the total amount of the Travel Costs before completing any Card sales Transaction (which in the case of Transactions involving paper submissions pursuant to Section 6.2(d) may require telephone Authorization). Such Authorization may be provided by any third party provider acceptable to Servicer. Authorization verifies that the Card number is valid, the Card has not been reported lost or stolen at the time of the Card sales Transaction, and confirms that the amount of credit or funds requested for the Card sales Transaction is available. Carrier or Agent will follow any instructions received during Authorization. Upon receipt of Authorization, Carrier or Agent may consummate only the Card sales Transaction authorized and must note the Authorization code on the Sales Record. For all ticket by mail, telephone or internet Card sales, Carrier must obtain the Card expiration date and forward that date as part of the Authorization.

*****

Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(b) Authorization does not: (i) guarantee Carrier final payment for a Card sales Transaction; (ii) guarantee that the Card sales Transaction will not be disputed later by the Cardholder as any Card sales Transaction is subject to Chargeback; or (iii) protect Carrier in the event of a Chargeback regarding unauthorized Card sales Transactions or disputes involving the quality of goods or services. Authorization will not waive any provision of the Agreement or otherwise validate a fraudulent sales Transaction or a sales Transaction involving the use of an expired Card.

(c) In a Card sales Transaction in which a Card is presented electronically, if Carrier’s Terminal is unable to read the magnetic stripe on the Card, Carrier must key-enter the Transaction into the POS Device for processing and obtain: (i) a physical imprint of the Card using a manual imprinter; and (ii) the Cardholder’s signature on the imprinted Sales Record.

3.5 Neither Carrier nor any Agent shall make any Card sale to any customer in any of the following circumstances (with the exception of ticket by mail, internet or telephone pursuant to Section 3.8 permitted by the Agreement and ticket by automated machine pursuant to Section 3.9 or purchased through other CNP Transactions): (a) a Card is not presented at the time of sale; (b) the signature on the Sales Record does not appear to correspond to the signature appearing in the signature panel on the reverse side of the Card, or the Cardholder does not resemble the person depicted in any picture which appears on the Card; (c) the signature panel on the Card is blank and is not signed in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 3.6; and (d) no Authorization is received. Any Carrier or Agent completing a Transaction under the conditions in this Section 3.5 shall be responsible for such Sales Record or Credit Record regardless of any Authorization.

3.6 If the signature panel of the Card is blank, in addition to requesting Authorization, Carrier or Agent must: (a) review positive identification to determine that the user is the Cardholder; (b) indicate such positive identification (including any serial number and expiration date) on the Sales Record; and (c) require that the Cardholder sign the signature panel of the Card prior to completing the Transaction. If a Cardholder presents a Card that bears an embossed “valid from” date and the Transaction Date is prior to the “valid from” date, Carrier or Agent shall not complete the Transaction. A card embossed with a “valid from” date in month/year format shall be considered valid on the first day of the embossed month and year. A card embossed with a “valid from” date in month/day/year format is considered valid on the embossed date

3.7 (a) Each Card sale shall be evidenced by a Sales Record. Each Sales Record shall be imprinted with the Card unless: (i) the Sales Record results from a Transaction involving Terminals which produce electronic Transaction records; (ii) the Card Transaction is a CNP Transaction; (iii) an imprinter is not available; or (iv) if for any other reason the Sales Record cannot be imprinted with a Card (if Authorization is obtained), including Card Transactions by mail, telephone or automated machine. If an imprinter is not available, the information on the Card and merchant plate shall be reproduced legibly on the Sales Record in sufficient detail to identify the parties to such sale. Such information shall include at least the date of sale, amount, Cardholder’s name and account number and Carrier’s name and place of business.

(b) Carrier shall include all items of Travel Costs purchased in a single Transaction in the total amount on a single Sales Record or Transaction record except for individual tickets issued to each passenger, when required by Carrier policy.

(c) Each Sales Record shall include on its face the items needed to complete the Settlement File required by the Servicer. Each Sales Record shall be signed by the Cardholder (except where the sale is made pursuant to CNP Transaction or automated machine transaction), which signature shall appear to be the same as the signature on the Card presented, as determined by Carrier or Agent. The Cardholder shall not be required to sign a Sales Record until the final Transaction amount is known and indicated in the “Total” column.

(d) Carrier shall not effect a Transaction for only part of the amount due on a single Sales Record except when the balance of the amount due is paid by the Cardholder at the time of sale in cash, by check, with another card or Card, or any combination thereof.

(e) If Carrier or Agent honors the Card, Carrier or Agent honoring the Card will deliver to the customer a true and completed copy of the Sales Record. The Card account number must be truncated on all Cardholder-activated copies of Sales Records. Truncated digits should be replaced with a fill character such as “x,” “*,” or “#,” and not with blank spaces or numeric characters. All POS Devices must suppress all but the last four digits of the Card account number and the entire expiration date on the Cardholder’s copy of the Electronic Sales Records generated from POS Devices (including Cardholder activated).

3.8 Carrier or Agent may enter into Card Transactions in accordance with Carrier’s or such Agent’s ticket by CNP Transaction program. In each such case, Carrier or Agent will complete the Sales Record (in accordance with Section 3.7) and include on the Sales Record the effective date and expiration date of the Card as obtained from the Cardholder together with words to reflect “mail order” or the letters “MO” or “telephone order” or the letters “TO,” or “internet order” or the letters “IO,” as appropriate. Carrier must obtain an Authorization code for all such Card Transactions. If a Carrier or Agent completes a Transaction without imprinting of the Card or using a Terminal, Carrier shall be deemed to warrant the true identity of the Cardholder as the authorized holder of such Card unless Carrier or Agent has obtained independent evidence of the Cardholder’s true identity and has noted such evidence on the applicable Sales Record.

3.9 In the case of sales of tickets by automated machine, such Transaction records must include at least the following information: (i) the account number; (ii) Carrier or Agent’s name; (iii) the automated machine’s location code or town, city, county, state or province; (iv) the amount of the Transaction in the applicable currency; and (v) the Transaction Date.

SECTION 7. ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION.

7.1(a) When Electronic Sales Records and Electronic Credit Records are submitted to Servicer electronically, other than Electronic Sales Records and Electronic Credit Records originating from Terminals, as provided in Section 6.6, and processed by Servicer’s Terminal processor, such Electronic Sales Records and Electronic Credit Records shall be submitted to Servicer by means of a summary of all Travel Costs by electronic transmission compatible with the computer system of Servicer and shall comply with Section 6.2 of the Agreement.

(b) If an electronic transmission of Travel Costs does not meet the requirements of the approved format, Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to advise Carrier within eight hours of receipt of same.

(c) Any acceptance by Servicer of an electronic transmission of Travel Costs which does not comply with the appropriate format or, if in the appropriate format, does not contain the information in respect to each Travel Cost summarized therein required by the terms of the Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of, or preclude Member or Servicer from exercising, the right of Chargeback.

7.2 Carrier shall retain, or cause to be retained, each original Sales Record and Credit Record and any other documentation necessary for Member or Servicer to satisfy applicable Operating Regulations (“Retained Documents”) relating to those Transactions transmitted to Servicer directly by Carrier, in each case for at least eighteen (18) months from the date each such Retained Document is submitted to Servicer for processing.

8.2 Carrier agrees to pay Member (or if notified by Servicer to do so, to pay Servicer) the amount of each Chargeback and, in the case of amounts that have not been paid to Carrier, acknowledges Carrier has no right to receive amounts attributable to Chargebacks. Member or Servicer may deduct and retain any amount due to Member or Servicer from Carrier on account of Chargebacks from amounts otherwise payable to Carrier under this Agreement. The provisions of Section 6.2 with respect to payment of Carrier’s obligations to Member and Servicer will apply in the event the amount of Net Activity results in an amount due Member or Servicer.

Neither Member nor Servicer shall incur any liability to Carrier by reason of any disclosure permitted by this Section 24.

SECTION 26. ASSOCIATION OBLIGOR.

The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of Carrier and shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted to Carrier from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.
