Island shall have the absolute right to demand and receive prepayments of the
Shelter Island Debt out of any cash proceeds received by the Debtor from the
sale or liquidation of any of the Collateral, other than the Senior Creditor
Collateral; provided, however, that following payment in full of the Priority
Senior Debt, Shelter Island shall have the absolute right to demand and receive
prepayments of the Shelter Island Debt out of any cash proceeds received by the
Debtor from the sale or liquidation of any Accounts; provided, that, absent the
liquidation or sale of Accounts, no prepayment of Shelter Island Debt shall be
permitted in connection with cash proceeds received by Debtor from the
collection of Accounts in the ordinary course of business of the
Debtor;
(ii) the
Senior Creditor shall have the absolute right to demand and receive prepayments
of the Priority Senior Debt out of any cash proceeds received by the Debtor from

Debtor from the collection of Accounts in the ordinary course of business of the
Debtor; and
(iii) in
the event of any public or private offering of equity securities of Gulfstream
or any debt securities of Gulfstream that are convertible into or exchangeable
for equity securities of Gulfstream (each an “Equity Type Financing”), the net
proceeds (defined as gross proceeds less sales commissions, underwriting
discounts and other customary offering expenses) received by Gulfstream shall be
applied as follows:
(1) first
to the purchase of aircraft currently under lease;
(2) second,
to provide Gulfstream and its Subsidiaries with working capital in such amounts
as shall be reasonably acceptable to Gulfstream and reasonably acceptable to the
Senior Creditor and Shelter Island; and
(3) third,
to each of the Shelter Island and the Senior Creditor, in pro-rata amounts, as
the then outstanding amount of each of the Shelter Island Debt and the Priority
Senior Creditor Debt bear to aggregate indebtedness then owed to both Shelter
Island and the Senior Creditors.
B. Except
for regularly scheduled payments in accordance with the terms of the Shelter
Island Debt Documents, in the event that, following a Shelter Island Debt
Default or a Priority Senior Debt Default, Shelter Island shall receive any cash
payments from the Debtor or any Subsidiary that represent proceeds derived from
the sale or collection of the Senior Creditor Collateral, Shelter Island shall
hold such payments in trust for the benefit of the Senior Creditor until such
time all the Senior Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon,
shall have been paid in full.
4
C. Except
for regularly scheduled payments in accordance with the terms of the Taglich
Debt Documents and the Note, in the event that, following a Shelter Island Debt
Default or a Priority Senior Debt Default, the Senior Creditor, or any of them,
shall receive any cash payments from the Debtor or any Subsidiary that represent
proceeds derived from the sale or collection of any of the Collateral (other
than from the proceeds of the specific Senior Creditor Collateral), the Senior
Creditor shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of the Shelter
Island.
5. Subordination of
Liens. Until the Priority Senior Debt has been indefeasibly
paid in full in cash, any liens and security interests of Shelter Island in the
Collateral shall be and hereby are subordinated for all purposes and in all
respects to the liens and security interests of Senior Creditor in the Senior
Creditor Collateral, regardless of the time, manner or order of perfection of
any such liens and security interests. The Senior Creditor and
Shelter Island agree that neither of them will at any time contest the validity,
perfection, priority or enforceability of the Priority Senior Debt, the Shelter
Island Debt the Priority Senior Debt Documents, the Shelter Island Debt
Documents or the liens and security interests of Senior Creditor or Shelter
Island in the Collateral securing the Priority Senior Debt and the Shelter
Island Debt.

connection with the Collateral, other than the Senior Creditor Collateral, is
recovered from the holders of the Shelter Island Debt in a Proceeding or
otherwise, any such distribution or payment received by the Senior Creditor with
respect to the Senior Creditor Debt at any time after the date of the payment
that is so recovered, whether pursuant to the right of subrogation provided for

full.

the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Any notice to or
demand on any party hereto in any event not specifically required hereunder
shall not entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or
further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances unless
specifically required hereunder.

of this Agreement, and every permitted assignee or transferee of any of the
assigned debt or of any interest therein shall, to the extent of the interest of
such permitted assignee or transferee in the assigned debt, be entitled to rely

the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were initially a party
