TO HAVE AND TO HOLD all and singular the Collateral unto the Security Trustee, and its permitted successors and permitted assigns, forever, in trust, upon the terms and trusts herein set forth, for the ratable, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Security Agreement, benefit, security and protection of the Secured Parties from time to time and for the other uses and purposes herein set forth, subject in each case to the terms and provisions set forth in this Security Agreement, including the priority of distribution provisions set forth in Section 4.1. It is expressly agreed that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Manufacturer Agreements to perform all of its obligations thereunder, (b) the exercise by the Security Trustee of any of the rights hereunder shall not
4 release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral except to the extent that such exercise by the Security Trustee constitutes performance of such duties or obligations or otherwise waives, voids or nullifies such duties or obligations and, (c) except to the extent expressly provided herein, in the Manufacturer’s Consent or the Engine Manufacturer’s Consent, unless the Security Trustee assumes the Borrower’s rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement, as the case may be, pursuant to this Security Agreement and in accordance with the Manufacturer’s Consent or Engine Manufacturer’s Consent, as applicable, or otherwise attempts to enforce any rights or remedies under the Purchase Agreement or General Terms Agreement, as applicable, the Security Trustee shall not have any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Security Agreement and the Security Trustee shall not be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment secured hereunder. Further, the parties hereto expressly agree, subject, however, to the terms and conditions of this Security Agreement, the Manufacturer’s Consent and Engine Manufacturer’s Consent, that the Security Trustee shall not be entitled to exercise, and the Borrower shall be entitled to exercise, any and all of the claims, rights, powers, privileges, remedies and other benefits under or arising out of the Manufacturer Agreements unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Lenders and the Security Trustee confirm for the benefit of the Manufacturer and Engine Manufacturer that (except as provided in the Manufacturer’s Consent and the Engine Manufacturer’s Consent) nothing contained herein shall subject either the Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer to any liability to which it would not otherwise be subject under the relevant Manufacturers Agreements or modify in any respect their contract rights of thereunder or require the Manufacturer to divest itself of title to or possession of the Aircraft until delivery thereof and payment therefor as provided in the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower does hereby constitute and appoint the Security Trustee the true and lawful attorney of the Borrower (which appointment is coupled with an interest) with full power (in the name of the Borrower or otherwise) (i) to ask for, require, demand and receive any and all moneys and claims for moneys (in each case including insurance and requisition proceeds) due and to become due under or in connection with the Collateral, (ii) to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith, (iii) subject to the terms of the Manufacturer’s Consent, to exercise the rights of the Borrower under the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Aircraft and (iv) to file any claims or to take any action or to institute any proceeding that the Security Trustee may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises; provided that the Security Trustee shall not exercise any such rights except during the continuance of an Event of Default. Without limiting the provisions of the foregoing, during the continuance of any Event of Default, but subject to the terms hereof and any mandatory requirements of applicable law, the Security Trustee shall have the right under such power of attorney in its discretion to file any claim or to take any other action or proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, that the Security Trustee may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the right, title and interest of the Security Trustee in and to the security intended to be afforded hereby. The Borrower hereby agrees that promptly on receipt thereof, except as otherwise contemplated by this Security Agreement or the Credit Agreement, it will transfer to the Security Trustee any and all moneys from time to time received by the Borrower
5 constituting part of the Collateral, for distribution by the Security Trustee pursuant to this Security Agreement. The Borrower does hereby warrant and represent that it has not sold, assigned or pledged, and hereby covenants that it will not sell, assign or pledge, so long as this Security Agreement shall remain in effect and the Lien hereof shall not have been released pursuant to the provisions hereof, any of its estate, right, title or interest hereby assigned, to any Person other than the Security Trustee, except as expressly permitted herein or in any other Operative Document (or, in the case of a prior assignment or pledge, as to which the same has been reassigned to the Borrower or released). ARTICLE III COVENANTS AND REPRESENTATIONS OF THE BORROWER Section 3.1 Liens.

Xxxxx described in clauses (a) through (e) above are referred to herein as “Permitted Liens”.

Section 3.2 [Intentionally Omitted].
6 Section 3.3 BFE. During the continuance of an Event of Default: (a) Promptly following the Security Trustee’s written request, the Borrower shall provide to the Security Trustee a complete list of BFE that it has on contract and/or has taken delivery, including the associated purchase price for each item of BFE (subject to applicable confidentiality requirements), associated completion/delivery schedule and any other BFE related information reasonably requested by the Security Trustee (the “BFE List”).

If no such election to purchase BFE owned by the Borrower in respect to such Assumed Aircraft is made, the Borrower (or its designee), at its own cost, shall, promptly following receipt of written notice from the Security Trustee that the Security Trustee shall not purchase such BFE, remove (or request the removal of) any equipment which constitutes such BFE that does not cause damage to such Assumed Aircraft; provided that if the Borrower receives such notice from the Security Trustee at least 30 days prior to the date the Security Trustee (or its designee) is scheduled to purchase such Assumed Aircraft, the Borrower will cause such removal to be completed prior to such date; provided, further that the Lenders and the Security Trustee shall cooperate with, and provide reasonable assistance to (at no out-of-pocket cost or expense to the Lenders or the Security Trustee) the Borrower and the Manufacturer so as to allow each removal to be promptly completed in the manner set forth herein. (c) If the Security Trustee elects to purchase any BFE owned by the Borrower, the Borrower shall sell to the Security Trustee (or its nominee) all such BFE it has purchased in “as-is”, “where-is” condition with no warranty of any kind other than being free of any liens, claims or other encumbrances attributable to the Borrower. (d) The Borrower shall deliver to such location as the Security Trustee (or its nominee) may direct (i) a copy of the bill of sale for the BFE from the applicable supplier to the Borrower (if available) and (ii) any pertinent supporting documentation (subject to applicable confidentiality provisions), within thirty (30) days following the Security Trustee’s request for such information. (e) In respect of any BFE that is purchased by the Security Trustee pursuant to Section 3.3(c), the BFE purchase price shall be the amount paid by the Borrower for such BFE and shall be paid by netting the purchase price against any amounts then due and payable to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, with any excess paid directly to the Borrower. (f) If requested by the Security Trustee, the Borrower shall (at no out-of- pocket cost or expense to the Borrower) use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Security Trustee in its efforts to purchase BFE that is not owned by the Borrower from the applicable suppliers.

The Borrower may not enter into any change order or other amendment, modification or supplement to either Manufacturer Agreements without the written consent of the Security Trustee (acting at the direction of the Majority in Interest of Lenders) if such change order, amendment, modification or supplement would: (a) […***…]; (b) […***…]; (c) […***…]; (d) […***…]; (e) result in the rescission, cancellation or termination of either Manufacturer Agreement or extend the scope of the Manufacturer’s or the Engine Manufacturer’s rights to terminate the relevant Manufacturer Agreement; (f) materially diminish the rights assigned hereunder to the Security Trustee; (g) result in the reduction or extinguishing of any warranties available to the Security Trustee or its assignees; or (h) […***…].

(b) Schedule II to the Credit Agreement correctly set forth for each Aircraft its model, its current “Scheduled Delivery Month” under the Purchase Agreement, the amount of PDPs paid to the Manufacturer for such Aircraft and the amount and the timing of the PDPs required to be made with respect to such Aircraft after the Closing Date. (c) Each of the Purchase Agreement and the General Terms Agreement is in full force and effect on the date hereof and the Borrower is not in default in any material respect of its material obligations thereunder.

The security interests granted to the Security Trustee pursuant to this Security Agreement in and to the Collateral constitute a perfected security interest therein superior and prior to the rights of all other Persons therein (subject to Permitted Liens not Of Record) to the extent such perfection and priority can be obtained by filings under the UCC, and the Security Trustee is entitled with respect to such perfected security interest to all the rights, priorities and benefits afforded by the UCC as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction to perfected security interests.

The parties agree that the exercise of remedies under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, and the other documents related thereto, is subject to other applicable law including without limitation, the UCC (as in effect in the State of New York) and, if applicable, the Bankruptcy Code, and that nothing herein derogates from the rights of the Security Trustee or the Borrower under or pursuant to such other applicable law. (b) Notice of Sale. The Security Trustee shall give the Borrower at least 10 days’ prior written notice of any public sale or of the date on or after which any private sale of the Collateral will be held, which notice the Borrower hereby agrees to the extent permitted by applicable law is reasonable notice. The Lenders acting through the Security Trustee shall be entitled to bid for and become the purchaser of any Collateral offered for sale pursuant to this Section 5.2 and to credit against the purchase price bid at such sale by such Lenders all or any part of the unpaid amounts owing to such Lenders under any Operative Document and secured by the Lien of this Security Agreement. (c) Rescission of Acceleration. At any time after the Security Trustee has declared the unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding to be due and payable and prior to the sale of any part of the Collateral pursuant to this Article V, a Majority in Interest of Lenders, by written notice to the Borrower and the Security Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (i) there has been paid to or deposited with the Security Trustee an amount sufficient to pay all overdue installments of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts owing under this Security Agreement and the Credit Agreement, that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and (ii) all other Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal or interest on the Loans that have become due solely because of such acceleration, have been cured or waived. Section 5.3 Remedies Cumulative. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to the Security Trustee or otherwise in this Security Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or by the Operative Documents, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein 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 Security Trustee, 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 Security Trustee in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of the Borrower or to be an acquiescence therein.
13 Section 5.4 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Security Trustee shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Security Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Security Trustee, then and in every such case the Borrower and the Security Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceedings, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Security Trustee shall continue, as if no such proceedings had been undertaken (but otherwise without prejudice). Section 5.5 Waiver of Past Defaults. Upon written instructions from a Majority in Interest of Lenders, the Security Trustee shall waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, and upon any such waiver such default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Security Agreement and the other Operative Documents, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided, however, that in the absence of written instructions from each of the affected Lenders, the Security Trustee shall not waive any default (i) in the payment of principal of, Break Funding Loss or interest on any Loan outstanding (other than with the consent of the holder thereof) or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Section 9.1, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each such affected Lender. ARTICLE VI DUTIES OF THE SECURITY TRUSTEE Section 6.1 Notice of Event of Default; Action Upon Event of Default. If any payments of the principal of, and interest on, the Loans due and payable on any Payment Date, or when otherwise due and payable, shall not have been paid in full on such Payment Date or such other date, the Security Trustee shall give telephonic notice within one Business Day (followed by prompt written notice) to the Borrower and each Lender specifying the amount and nature of such deficiency in payment; provided that any failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to make such payment. If the Security Trustee has knowledge of an Event of Default, the Security Trustee shall promptly give notice of such Event of Default to each Lender and to the Borrower by facsimile or telephone (to be promptly confirmed in writing). Subject to the terms of Article V and Section 6.3, the Security Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default (including with respect to the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder), as the Security Trustee shall be instructed in writing by a Majority in Interest of Lenders. If the Security Trustee shall not have received instructions as above provided within 20 days after the giving of notice of such Event of Default to the Lenders, the Security Trustee may, subject to instructions thereafter received pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 6.1, but shall not be obligated to, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall reasonably determine to be advisable in the best interests of the Lenders and shall use the same degree of care and skill in connection therewith as a prudent person would use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs; provided that the Security Trustee may not sell all or any part of the Collateral without the consent of a Majority in Interest of Lenders. For all purposes of this Security Agreement, in the absence of actual knowledge, the Security
14 Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default unless notified in writing by the Borrower or one or more Lenders; and “actual knowledge” (as used in the foregoing clause) of the Security Trustee shall mean actual knowledge of an officer in the Corporate Trust Department of the Security Trustee; provided, however, that the Security Trustee shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of the failure of the Borrower to pay any principal or interest on the Loans directly to the Security Trustee when the same shall become due. Section 6.2 Action Upon Instructions. Subject to the terms of Article V and this Article VI, upon the written instructions at any time of a Majority in Interest of Lenders, the Security Trustee shall promptly (i) give such notice, direction, consent, waiver or approval, or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder in respect of all or any part of the Collateral, or (ii) take such other action, as shall be specified in such instruction; it being understood that without the written instructions of a Majority in Interest of Lenders the Security Trustee shall not take any action pursuant to this Section 6.2. The Security Trustee will execute and file or cause to be filed (at the expense of the Borrower) such continuation statements with respect to financing statements relating to the security interest created hereunder in the Collateral as may be specified from time to time in written instructions of a Majority in Interest of Lenders (which instructions may, by their terms, be operative only at a future date) or the Borrower. Section 6.3 Indemnification. The Security Trustee shall not be required to take any action or refrain from taking any action under Section 6.1 (other than the first two sentences thereof) or Section 6.2 or Article V unless it shall have received indemnification against any risks incurred in connection therewith in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it, including, without limitation, adequate advances against costs that may be incurred by it in connection therewith. The Security Trustee shall not be required to take any action under Section 6.1 (other than the first two sentences thereof) or 6.2 or Article V, nor shall any other provision of this Security Agreement be deemed to impose a duty on the Security Trustee to take any action, if the Security Trustee shall have been advised in writing by outside counsel that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to law. Section 6.4 No Duties Except as Specified in Security Agreement or Instructions. The Security Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, control, lease, use, sell, operate, store, dispose of or otherwise deal with all or any other part of the Collateral, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Security Agreement, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Security Agreement or the Credit Agreement or as expressly provided in written instructions received pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 or 6.2; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Security Agreement against the Security Trustee. Section 6.5 No Action Except Under Security Agreement or Instructions. The Security Trustee agrees that it will not manage, control, use, sell, lease, operate, store, dispose of or otherwise deal with all or any part of the Collateral except in accordance with the powers granted to, or the authority conferred upon, the Security Trustee pursuant to this Security Agreement and in accordance with the express terms hereof. Section 6.6 Reports, Notices, Etc. The Security Trustee will furnish to each Lender promptly upon receipt thereof, duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests, demands,
15 certificates, financial statements and other instruments furnished to the Security Trustee, to the extent that the same shall not have been otherwise furnished to such Lender pursuant to this Security Agreement or to the extent the Security Trustee does not reasonably believe that the same shall have been furnished by the Borrower directly to such Lender; provided that the failure of the Security Trustee to furnish each Lender with such duplicates or copies shall not impair or affect the validity of any such report, notice, request, demand, certificate, financial statement or other instrument. ARTICLE VII THE SECURITY TRUSTEE Section 7.1 Acceptance of Trusts and Duties. The Security Trustee accepts the trusts and duties hereby created and applicable to it and agrees to perform such duties, but only upon the terms of this Security Agreement and agrees to receive, handle and disburse all moneys received by it as Security Trustee constituting part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof. The Security Trustee shall have no liability hereunder, except (a) for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (or ordinary negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the receipt, handling or disbursement of money) or as provided in Section 2.4 of the Credit Agreement or breach of any of its representations or warranties or covenants made in its individual capacity set forth herein or in any other Operative Document to which it is a party, (b) for the performance of its obligations under Section 2.6 of the Credit Agreement or (c) as otherwise expressly provided in this Security Agreement or the other Operative Documents. Section 7.2 Absence of Duties. Except in accordance with written instructions or requests furnished pursuant to Section 11.1(b) of the Credit Agreement and except as provided in, and without limiting the generality of, Section 6.4, the Security Trustee shall have no duty (a) to see to any recording or filing of this Security Agreement or any other document, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or (b) to inspect the Aircraft at any time or ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the Borrower’s covenants under this Security Agreement with respect to the Aircraft. Section 7.3 No Representations or Warranties as to the Documents. Except as provided in Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement, the Security Trustee shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty as to the validity, legality or enforceability of this Security Agreement, any other Operative Document or any other document or instrument, or as to the correctness of any statement (other than a statement by the Security Trustee) contained herein or therein, except that the Security Trustee hereby represents and warrants that each of said specified documents to which it is a party has been or will be duly executed and delivered by one of its officers who is and will be duly authorized to execute and deliver such document on its behalf. Section 7.4 No Segregation of Moneys; No Interest. No moneys received by the Security Trustee hereunder need be segregated in any manner except to the extent required by law, and any such moneys may be deposited under such general conditions for the holding of trust funds as may be prescribed by law applicable to the Security Trustee, and, except as otherwise provided herein or as agreed by the Security Trustee, the Security Trustee shall not be
16 liable for any interest thereon; provided that any payments received or applied hereunder by the Security Trustee shall be accounted for by the Security Trustee so that any portion thereof paid or applied pursuant hereto shall be identifiable as to the source thereof. Section 7.5 Reliance; Security Trustees; Advice of Counsel. The Security Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper reasonably believed by the Security Trustee to be genuine and reasonably believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Security Trustee may accept a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Borrower or any Lender, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of such party or in the case of any Lender by any authorized officer as duly adopted and in full force and effect, as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Security Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Security Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Operative Document, whenever it is necessary or contemplated under or in respect of the Credit Agreement, this Security Agreement or any other Operative Document for the Lenders acting together, or a Majority in Interest of Lenders, to form an opinion or make a decision upon or consent to any matter, including without limitation under Article V or VI hereof, or to give instructions or other directions of any kind or nature to the Security Trustee, the Security Trustee may for all purposes hereof conclusively rely on a certificate, signed by an officer of the Facility Agent, as to such opinion, decision, consent, instructions or directions, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Security Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon. The Security Trustee shall furnish to the Borrower upon request such information and copies of such documents as the Security Trustee may have and as are necessary for the Borrower to perform its duties under Article II and Article III; provided that the failure of the Security Trustee to furnish such information or documents shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations hereunder or under the Credit Agreement. The Security Trustee shall assume, and shall be fully protected in assuming, that the Borrower is authorized to enter into this Security Agreement and to take all actions permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions hereof, and shall not inquire into the authorization of the Borrower with respect thereto. In the administration of the trusts hereunder, the Security Trustee may execute any trust or power hereof and perform its powers and duties hereunder directly or through agents or attorneys and may consult with independent counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and employed by it, and the Security Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the written advice or opinion of any such independent counsel, accountants or other skilled persons acting within such persons’ area of competence (so long as the Security Trustee shall have exercised reasonable care in selecting such persons).
17 ARTICLE VIII SUCCESSOR SECURITY TRUSTEE Section 8.1 Resignation of Security Trustee; Appointment of Successor.

The Security Trustee or any successor thereto may resign at any time without cause by giving at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and each Lender. In addition, either the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) or a Majority in Interest of Lenders (with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that such consent shall not be necessary if an Event of Default is continuing) may at any time remove the Security Trustee without cause by an instrument in writing delivered to the Security Trustee, each Lender and (in the case of a removal by a Majority in Interest of Lenders) the Borrower. In the case of the resignation or removal of the Security Trustee, the Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case a Majority in Interest of Lenders) shall promptly appoint a successor Security Trustee; provided that a Majority in Interest of Lenders (with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that such consent shall not be necessary if an Event of Default is continuing) may appoint, within one year after such resignation or removal, a successor Security Trustee, which may be other than any successor Security Trustee appointed by the Borrower as provided above, so long as such other successor is (so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, and such successor Security Trustee appointed as provided above shall be superseded by the successor Security Trustee so appointed by a Majority in Interest of Lenders. If a successor Security Trustee shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment hereunder within 60 days after the Security Trustee gives notice of resignation as provided above, the retiring Security Trustee, the Borrower or any Lender may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Security Trustee. Any successor Security Trustee so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Security Trustee appointed as provided in the proviso to the second preceding sentence within one year from the date of the appointment by such court. (b) Any successor Security Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the Borrower, each Lender and the predecessor Security Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment and assuming the obligations hereunder, and thereupon such successor Security Trustee, without further act, shall become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and trusts of the predecessor Security Trustee hereunder in the trusts hereunder applicable to it with like effect as if originally named the Security Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of such successor Security Trustee, such predecessor Security Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Security Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed applicable to it, all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor Security Trustee, and such predecessor Security Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to such successor Security
18 Trustee all moneys or other property (including all books and records, or true, complete and correct copies thereof) then held by such predecessor Security Trustee hereunder.

There shall be promptly remitted to the Borrower any gain (including interest received) realized as the result of any such investment (net of any fees, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such investment) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Security Trustee shall hold any such gain as security for the obligations of the Borrower hereunder and apply it against such obligations as and when due, and at such time as
20 there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default, such amount, to the extent not previously so applied against the Borrower’s obligations, shall be paid to the Borrower. Section 10.2 Liability for Losses. Except to the extent provided in Section 7.1, the Security Trustee in its individual capacity shall not be liable for any loss relating to a Permitted Investment made in accordance with instructions received by it pursuant to this Article X.

ARTICLE XI MISCELLANEOUS Section 11.1 Partial Security Release; Termination of Security Agreement. (a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the security interest created hereby in all Collateral relating to a particular Aircraft shall be promptly released by the Security Trustee (any such release pursuant to this Section 11.1(a), a “Partial Security Release”) either (x) upon written request when no Loan has been drawn in respect of such Aircraft (and no Borrowing Notice has been issued in respect of such Aircraft) or (y) when the outstanding principal amount of the Loans associated with such Aircraft have been paid in full, together with all accrued interest thereon to the date of such payment, Break Funding Loss (if applicable), and all other amounts then due and payable under this Security Agreement and the Credit Agreement (such amount with respect to any Aircraft, its “Prepayment Amount”); provided that if the Borrower deposits an amount equal to the Prepayment Amount for such Aircraft with the Security Trustee pursuant to Section 2.8(b), 2.8(c) or 2.8(d) of the Credit Agreement, then such Prepayment Amount shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower for purposes of this Section 11.1(a) on the date of such deposit, and such Partial Security Release shall instead be effected by the Security Trustee on the date of such deposit. Upon such Partial Security Release with respect to an Aircraft, the following shall automatically occur with no further act by the Borrower, the Facility Agent, the Lenders or the Security Trustee: (i) such Aircraft (a “Released Aircraft”) and related Collateral shall no longer constitute Collateral for any purpose hereunder or under the other Operative Documents, (ii) the Collateral granted hereunder shall exclude Borrower’s rights and interest in the applicable Manufacturer’s Agreement to the extent it relates to such Released Aircraft, (iii) such Released Aircraft shall cease to be an Aircraft for purposes of the Operative Documents, and (iv) the terms “Purchase Agreement” and “General Terms Agreement” shall be deemed no longer to relate to such Released Aircraft.

21 representation whatsoever, all the rights and interests of the Security Trustee on behalf of the Lenders in the Collateral consisting of or relating to such Released Aircraft. (b) Except in the case of an Aircraft that becomes a Released Aircraft, the Liens in respect of which shall be terminated in accordance with Section 11.1(a), upon the payment in full of the principal of, Break Funding Loss, if applicable, and interest on, all Loans then outstanding and of all other amounts then due and owing under this Security Agreement and the Credit Agreement and the final termination in full of the Commitment of each Lender, the Security Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Borrower, execute and deliver to, or as directed in writing by, and at the expense of, the Borrower an appropriate instrument (in due form for recording) releasing the balance of the Collateral from the Lien of this Security Agreement, whereupon this Security Agreement and the trusts created hereby shall terminate and this Security Agreement shall be of no further force or effect. (c) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 11.1(a) and (b), this Security Agreement and the trusts created hereby shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof. Section 11.2 No Legal Title to Collateral in Lenders. The Lenders shall not have legal title to any part of the Collateral. No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any right, title and interest of a Lender in and to the Collateral or this Security Agreement shall operate to terminate this Security Agreement or the trusts hereunder or entitle any Lender or successor or transferee of such Lender to an accounting or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Collateral. Section 11.3 Sale of the Collateral by Security Trustee is Binding. Any sale or other conveyance of all or any part of the Collateral or any interest therein by the Security Trustee made pursuant to the terms of this Security Agreement shall bind the Lenders and the Borrower, and shall be effective to transfer or convey all right, title and interest of the Security Trustee, the Borrower and the Lenders in and to such Collateral or interest therein.

Section 11.5 [Reserved]. Section 11.6 Notices. Unless otherwise expressly specified or permitted by the terms hereof, all notices required or permitted under the terms and provisions hereof shall be in English and in writing, and any such notice may be given by means of communication permitted by Section 12.1 of the Credit Agreement and any such notice shall be effective when delivered to
22 the recipient thereof and confirmed, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of such Section 12.1. Section 11.7 Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, should any one or more provisions of this Security Agreement be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by a court of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Section 11.8 Separate Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (and each of the parties hereto shall not be required to execute the same counterpart).
