          (b) Funding Procedures.
               (i) In connection with the financing of each Designated Aircraft hereunder, the Borrower agrees to give the Agent at least three (or, in the case the Borrower elects to have the related Loan bear interest at a Fixed Rate, five) Business Days’ prior written notice (which notice, to be effective on any Business Day, must be received no later than 9:00 a.m. New York time) of the anticipated Delivery Date for such Designated Aircraft (for any Designated Aircraft and its related Series, its “Funding Date”), which date shall be a Business Day not later than the Commitment Termination Date, and which notice shall be in substantially the form of the Notice of Borrowing attached hereto as Exhibit A. Unless previously elected pursuant to Section 3(b)(iii)(5) or 3(c)(ii), respectively, the Notice of Borrowing shall if desired by the Borrower, identify whether the Borrower elects a Fixed Rate to be applicable to the related Loan.

3


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]

               (iii) The funds so paid by each such Loan Participant (the “Deposit”) into the Account for any Designated Aircraft are to be held by the Security Trustee for account of such Loan Participant. Subject to paragraph (vi) below, upon the satisfaction (as determined by each Loan Participant) of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 hereof in respect of the applicable Designated Aircraft, such Loan Participant (or its special counsel acting on its behalf) shall instruct the Security Trustee to disburse the Deposit for application of its Commitment for such Designated Aircraft in the financing as contemplated by Section 2(c) hereof.
               (iv) If, for any reason, the Designated Aircraft to be financed hereunder on its Funding Date shall not be so financed, the Deposit for such Designated Aircraft, and earnings thereon, will be invested and reinvested by the Security Trustee at the sole direction, for the account, and at the risk of the Borrower in an overnight investment selected by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Security Trustee. Upon the Borrower’s oral (to be confirmed in writing) instructions, earnings on any such investments shall be applied to the Borrower’s payment obligations to each Loan Participant under this Section 2(b) to the extent of such earnings.
               (v) If the actual Delivery Date for any Designated Aircraft is a date falling after the Funding Date for such Designated Aircraft, the Borrower shall pay interest hereunder to each Loan Participant on the amount of its Deposit transferred to the Security Trustee for each Loan Certificate as indicated on Schedule 1 to the Notice of Borrowing for the period from and including the Funding Date for such Designated Aircraft to but excluding the earlier of (A) the Delivery Date for such Designated Aircraft or (B) the Cutoff Date (as defined below). For each Loan Participant, such interest shall accrue on the amount of such Loan Participant’s Commitment at the applicable Applicable Rate established for such Loan. Interest on the Commitments accrued pursuant to the preceding sentence shall (I) if accrued to the Delivery Date for the applicable Designated Aircraft, be paid on the first Interest Payment Date for such Aircraft and (II) if accrued to the Cutoff Date, be due and payable to each Loan Participant on such date.
               (vi) If for any reason, other than the failure of any Loan Participant to comply with the terms hereof, the Delivery Date for any Designated Aircraft shall not have occurred on or prior to five Business Days after the Funding Date for such Designated Aircraft (the “Cutoff Date”), the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that such Loan Participant may cancel, terminate or otherwise unwind its funding arrangements made in the London interbank market or otherwise to fund its Commitment

4


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
on the Funding Date for such Designated Aircraft (including, for any Type A Loan Participant, its related liquidity arrangements) and, if applicable, such Loan Participant may cancel, terminate or otherwise unwind the related Swap Transaction, and such Loan Participant may notify the Security Trustee thereof, and the Security Trustee shall return its Commitment for such Designated Aircraft to it, subject, however, to such Loan Participant’s continuing commitment to fund as provided herein.
               (vii) In the event of the occurrence of the events described in paragraph (vi) above, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly (but in any event within three Business Days of the relevant Cutoff Date):

     SECTION 3 Loan Economics.
          (a) Principal Amortization. Annex A for the Loan Certificates for the Series issued in respect of any Designated Aircraft (and the related Schedule 1 of the Mortgage

5


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
Supplement for such Designated Aircraft) shall be calculated using a mortgage-style (level payments of principal and interest) methodology utilizing the Benchmark Rate for such Loan Certificates and amortizing as follows: the Loan Certificates of each Series shall amortize over twelve years on a quarterly basis on each Interest Payment Date (the first such amortizing payment to be made on the first Interest Payment Date next following the Funding Date of such Loan) to a balloon payment of $30,000,000 (in aggregate principal amount for all Loan Certificates for such Series) payable on the last (48th) such installment. The “Benchmark Rate” for the Loan Certificates of each Series shall be: the lesser of (A) (1) if the Borrower shall have elected to have the related Loan initially bear interest at a Fixed Rate, pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof, the blended Fixed Rate payable on the Type A Loan Certificates and the Type B Loan Certificates; or (2) if the Borrower shall not have so elected, the blended initial Floating Rate payable on the Type A Loan Certificates and the Type B Loan Certificates and (B) 7% per annum. The Agent, using the Benchmark Rate as so determined, shall determine the Annex A for the Loan Certificates of each Series (and the related Schedule 1 of the Mortgage Supplement for the related Aircraft) on the basis specified in this Section 3(a) and shall confirm such proposed schedules with the Borrower. Promptly after the determination thereof, the Agent shall advise the Borrower and the applicable Loan Participants of the Benchmark Rate and resulting amortization schedules.
          (b) Interest. The Borrower shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3(b), have the right to select an initial Floating Rate or a Fixed Rate for the Loan.
               (i) Floating Rate. If the Borrower shall not have notified the Loan Participants of its request, pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing for any Designated Aircraft, to have the Loan bear interest at a fixed rate, then the Applicable Rate for each Loan and related Series of Loan Certificates shall be, for each Interest Period relating to such Series, the Floating Rate for such Interest Period. Interest on each Loan payable by reference to the Floating Rate shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date relating to such Series and shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual number of days elapsed.
               (ii) Fixed Rate Setting. The Borrower may notify the Agent of its request, pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing for the Loan in respect of any Designated Aircraft, to have such Loan bear interest at a fixed rate (a “Fixed Rate Notice”), which Fixed Rate shall be fixed two Business Days prior to the Funding Date of such Designated Aircraft and be effective on such Funding Date (the “Swap Effective Date”). Upon delivery by the Borrower of a Fixed Rate Notice to the Agent, the following procedures shall apply to determine the “Swap Rate”:
                    (1) The Agent will notify the Loan Participants of the Swap Effective Date and provide a copy of the Fixed Rate Notice to each thereof. No later than 10:00 a.m. New York time on the fourth Business Day prior to the Funding Date for the applicable Designated Aircraft, the Agent will notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Loan Participants) of a single fixed rate of interest (the “Agent Quote”) for the Swap Rate applicable to the Loan for such Designated Aircraft. The Agent Quote shall be agreed to by each Loan Participant and shall be derived on the basis of an Internal Swap Transaction

6


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
(giving effect to the anticipated amortization, maturity and Swap Effective Date of such Loan). In accordance with timing procedures to be agreed, the Borrower shall either accept or reject the Agent Quote; provided, that acceptance of the Agent Quote over the telephone shall be deemed a legally valid and binding acceptance thereof by the Borrower. If the Borrower accepts such Agent Quote, such interest rate will be the “Swap Rate” for the applicable Loan effective on the Swap Effective Date.
                    (2) The Agent shall promptly notify the Loan Participants and Security Trustee of the Swap Rate, if any, for the applicable Loan determined in accordance with the above procedures.
                    (3) During the period prior to the Funding Date in respect of any Designated Aircraft, the parties hereto will further contemplate entering into a mutually acceptable arrangement designed to enable the Borrower to hedge or otherwise lock-in an interest rate in respect of the Loan to be made on such Funding Date on a forward basis.
                    (iii) Fixed Rate. If the Applicable Rate for any Series of Loan Certificates and the related Loan is a Fixed Rate:
                    (1) Interest on the Loan shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 day year consisting of 12 30-day months.
                    (2) The Fixed Rate on a Fixed Rate Loan shall be subject to adjustment as provided in clause (v) below.
                    (3) On the date (i) of any prepayment of Loan Certificates pursuant to the Mortgage or (ii) of any acceleration of Loan Certificates pursuant to the Mortgage, the Agent will request that each relevant Swap Counterparty settle-out (or mark-to-market) its Swap Transaction in whole or in part (in the case of a partial prepayment of Loan Certificates, and to the extent thereof) and in furtherance thereof use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Loan Participant to advise the Agent and the Borrower by 11:00 a.m., New York time, on such date (the “Settlement Date”) of the Swap Break Amount applicable to such event.
                    (4) Each Loan Participant agrees that, so long as no Special Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, it shall promptly pay to the Borrower at such account as the Borrower may specify any Swap Breakage Gain in respect of any Series of Loan Certificates (or its related Commitment), except that it may first deduct therefrom any amounts then due to it (or the other Loan Participants) under the Operative Documents and apply any amount so retained to the satisfaction thereof. Each Holder may retain any Swap Breakage Gain that arises after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Special Default as security for the obligations of the Borrower until the earlier of (i) the

7


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
date that such Event of Default or Special Default is cured by the Borrower, promptly following which date such amount shall be paid over to the Borrower, or (ii) the date that Section 9.07 of the Mortgage shall be applicable, promptly following which date such amounts shall be remitted to the Security Trustee for application as provided in such Section 9.07.
                    (5) Upon the request of the Borrower to the Agent, the Agent shall obtain from each Loan Participant a good faith written estimate of the Swap Breakage Loss or Swap Breakage Gain, as the case may be, in connection with the occurrence, or anticipated occurrence, of any event contemplated by the Operative Documents that might give rise to an obligation to pay Swap Breakage Loss or to receive Swap Breakage Gain.
                    (6) Upon determination by a Loan Participant of any Swap Breakage Loss or Swap Breakage Gain payable to or by it, as the case may be, such Loan Participant will provide to the Borrower a certificate, certifying such Swap Breakage Loss or Swap Breakage Gain, which certified amount shall be determined in accordance with the procedures set out in the definition of “Swap Break Amount”.
               (iv) Margin Adjustment.
                    (1) The Applicable Margin is subject to adjustment for each Loan Participant to preserve such Loan Participant’s net return on capital based on its internal risk models if and to the extent the Aircraft is reregistered outside of an Approved Country (as defined below) and the resulting security package fails to provide (i) to the Security Trustee the same degree and quality of security as available under the law of an Approved Country and (ii) to such Loan Participant the Basel II treatment and the Basel III treatment (each as internally determined in good faith by such Loan Participant) required to support the internal risk “score” afforded by such resulting security package. Any determination of a need for such an adjustment shall be communicated to the Security Trustee and the Borrower promptly following notice by the Borrower of any such reregistration (either proposed or actual) and shall be effective immediately upon such reregistration. The determination of any such adjustment by a Loan Participant (including as to its internal modeling and Basel II and/or Basel III application) shall be conclusive absent fraud or manifest error. Any such adjustment may be to increase or to decrease the Applicable Margin, and the Loan Participants agree to recalculate any applicable adjustment at the time of any reregistration; provided that the Applicable Margin shall automatically revert to the original “Applicable Margin” hereunder in the event the Aircraft is reregistered in an Approved Country. “Approved Country” means any of the United Kingdom and the United States; provided that any such country shall upon 90 days written notice from the Agent to the Borrower cease to be an Approved Country if there shall have occurred therein a change in law or interpretation that has a material adverse effect on the grant, perfection, priority or enforceability of liens on aircraft collateral registered in such country. Notwithstanding anything to

8


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
the contrary contained herein, no upward adjustment of the Applicable Margin by any Loan Participant pursuant to this Section 3(b)(iv)(l) shall exceed the highest adjustment as would be applicable to a Loan Participant domiciled in any of France, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom or the United States.
                    (2) A Loan Participant intending to make a claim for an Applicable Margin adjustment pursuant to Section 3(b)(iv)(l) shall, within 30 days after receipt of written notice of any proposed or actual reregistration, provide written notice to the Agent and the Borrower in writing of the event by reason of which it is entitled to do so (the “Adjustment Notice”); provided, that: (x) the Adjustment Notice shall describe the events giving rise to such adjustment, the basis for determining such adjustment and the amount thereof, together with a statement that the determinations made in respect of such adjustment comply with the provisions of this Section 3(b)(iv); and (y) such Loan Participant shall not be required to disclose any confidential information relating to the organization of its affairs, or its capital structure or return on capital.
               (v) Fixed Rate Adjustment. If any Series of Loan Certificates and the related Loan shall bear interest at a Fixed Rate, such rate shall be as provided in the definition of Fixed Rate, adjusted automatically by the amount of any increase or decrease of the Applicable Margin as determined pursuant to clause (iv) above. Any adjustment effected by the preceding sentence shall be calculated by the Agent, shall be notified promptly to the Security Trustee and the Borrower and the Loan Participants, and such calculation shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
               (vi) Past Due Interest. All amounts due and payable by Borrower under the Operative Documents that are not paid when due shall bear interest at the Past Due Rate, payable on demand.
          (c) Liquidity Costs.
               (i) Subject to clause (ii) below, the Liquidity Margin for the Type A Loan Certificates and the related Loan in respect of any Series shall be established two Business Days prior to the Delivery Date for such Designated Aircraft.
               (ii) The Liquidity Margin for the Type A Loan Certificates and the related Loan for any Series may be “forward fixed” by the Borrower upon request to the Type A Loan Participants. Insofar as the actual Funding Date for the Loan to be made in respect of such Designated Aircraft is unknown, the related Liquidity Margin will have built-in flexibility to allow the Funding Date to occur within a period commencing on or about the anticipated delivery date of such Designated Aircraft and ending on the Commitment Termination Date for such Designated Aircraft (or such earlier date designated by the Borrower), and the related Liquidity Margin will be priced accordingly.
          (d) Structuring Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to, or for account of, the Underwriters the structuring fee as specified in the Fee Letter.

9


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
          (e) Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay a commitment fee to the Security Trustee for account of the Loan Participants in an amount equal to 85 basis points per annum, calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed in respect of the unutilized maximum Commitments of the Loan Participants for each Designated Aircraft. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable (i) quarterly on the 10th day of each April, July, October and, if the Commitments in respect of each Designated Aircraft have not been fully drawn by such date, the Commitment Termination Date (or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next following Business Day) and (ii) on the Delivery Date of such Designated Aircraft. Commitment fees for any Designated Aircraft shall commence their accrual from and including the date hereof and shall continue to accrue to but excluding the earlier of (x) the date of the making of the Loan in respect of such Designated Aircraft to be financed hereunder or (y) the Commitment Termination Date for such Designated Aircraft. The Security Trustee agrees to pay to each Loan Participant such Loan Participant’s commitment fee received by it promptly following receipt thereof. Commitment fees shall be non-refundable.
          (f) Agency Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay an agency fee to the Agent in an amount equal to $3500 per year, which fee shall be payable annually in advance to the Agent on the date of the making of the Loan in respect of the first Designated Aircraft to be financed hereunder and each of the anniversary dates thereof (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next following Business Day). Such fee shall not be refundable. The agency fee specified in this Section 3(f) shall cease to be payable to the Agent from and after the date the Loan Certificates in respect of each Designated Aircraft shall have been paid in full.
          (g) LIBOR Break Amounts. The Borrower shall indemnify each Loan Participant against any cost, loss or liability incurred by that Loan Participant or deemed incurred by that Loan Participant under this Section 3(g) (characterized as a “negative” LIBOR Break Amount) as a result of:
          (i) funding, or making arrangements to fund, its participation in an Advance requested by the Borrower in a Notice of Borrowing for any Designated Aircraft but not made for any reason (other than by reason of default by that Loan Participant alone);
          (ii) the Loan (or part of the Loan) for any Designated Aircraft being repaid on a date other than an Interest Payment Date;
          (iii) the Maturity Date of the Loan for any Designated Aircraft not being also an Interest Payment Date; or
          (iv) the Loan (or part of the Loan) for any Designated Aircraft not being prepaid in accordance with a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower,
in each case including, without limitation, in relation to funds borrowed or mobilized, the liquidation or redeployment of any deposits taken or made, and/or the loss of margin, which amount shall be payable on the dates specified herein for payment of LIBOR Break Amount. All “negative” LIBOR Break Amounts hereunder shall be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid or

10


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest Period for the Loan in respect of the applicable Designated Aircraft (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable LIBOR rate provided for herein (excluding the Applicable Margin) over (ii) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of the amount the applicable Loan Participant would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such Loan Participant). Any amount payable by Borrower under this Section 3(g) shall be referred to as a “LIBOR Break Amount”.
          (h) Liquidity Break Amount. The Borrower shall indemnify each Type A Loan Participant against any cost, loss or liability incurred by that Type A Loan Participant or deemed incurred by that Type A Loan Participant under this Section 3(h) as a result of any Liquidity Event. The amount of such indemnity shall be determined for each Series (or its related Commitment), and shall be equal to the cumulative amount of the present values of the interest amount for each (whole or partial) Interest Period relating to such Series as to which a Liquidity Margin applies and which succeeds the date of such Liquidity Event, calculated at a per annum rate equal to the Liquidity Reserve Differential that would have accrued and been payable on the last day of such Interest Period on the amount so paid or prepaid or Commitment cancelled in respect of such Series over the remaining balance of the refinancing term (through the Maturity Date for such Series) of such Loan. Any calculation by an affected Type A Loan Participant required by this definition shall be conclusive (and without the necessity for such Type A Loan Participant to disclose the manner or inputs for its determining the same); provided, that such affected Type A Loan Participant will furnish to the Borrower an officer’s certificate from a duly authorized officer stating that Liquidity Break Amount has been incurred and listing the Liquidity Break Amount, which furnishing of such amount in such officer’s certificate shall be deemed a certification by such Type A Loan Participant that the determinants for calculating the Liquidity Reserve Differential were based on its Treasury-assessed liquidity costs as at the applicable dates and that the calculation thereof was made on a non-discriminatory basis and in accordance with this provision; there will be no further calculation or disclosure of refinancing practice in order to evidence or verify the actual liquidity breakage losses. There shall be no “Liquidity Breakage Gain”. Interest calculated as aforesaid shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual number of days elapsed. The amount of such indemnity shall be determined by each Type A Loan Participant and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the furnishing by any Type A Loan Participant of any Liquidity Reserve Differential amount shall be deemed a certification by such Type A Loan Participant that the determinants for calculating the Liquidity Reserve Differential were based on its Treasury-assessed liquidity costs as at the applicable dates, that such assessment was made on a nondiscriminatory basis, and that the calculation thereof was made in accordance with this Agreement. Any amount payable by Borrower under this Section 3(h) shall be referred to as a “Liquidity Break Amount”. As amongst the Type A Loan Participants, insofar as the Liquidity Break Amount is calculated on the weighted average of their individual Liquidity Margins, the Liquidity Break Amount payable to each Type A Loan Participant shall be paid to them on the basis of their individual Liquidity Margins, and the Security Trustee agrees to make payments on account of the Liquidity Break Amount to each Type A Loan Participant accordingly, it being

11


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
agreed that the Security Trustee may rely on the written direction of the Agent for the allocation of such amounts.
          (i) LTV Test.
                     (i) An LTV Test will be performed on each Designated Aircraft on:
                    (1) The fourth anniversary of the Delivery Date for such Designated Aircraft (the “First LTV Test Date”): and
                    (2) The eighth anniversary of the Delivery Date for such Designated Aircraft (the “Second LTV Test Date”: the First LTV Test Date and the Second LTV Test Date being referred to collectively herein as the “LTV Test Dates”).
               (ii) When an LTV Test is conducted for any Designated Aircraft pursuant to the preceding paragraph (i), and the resulting LTV for such Designated Aircraft is more than (x) in the case of the First LTV Test Date, 83.75% or (y) in the case of the Second LTV Test Date, 73.75%, then the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in respect of such Designated Aircraft on the Interest Payment Date falling on or about the applicable LTV Test Date in an amount necessary to reduce the LTV for such Designated Aircraft to the stipulated percentage, such prepayment to be accompanied by accrued interest thereon and any associated Break Amount (other than any Liquidity Break Amount, which shall not be payable in connection with any such prepayment).
               (iii) The loan to value test (the “LTV Test”) will be calculated as the percentage (the “LTV”) derived by dividing the then outstanding Loan in respect of the Series relating to any Designated Aircraft by the arithmetic average of the Dollar base values (determined in accordance with standard ISTAT methodologies) of such Designated Aircraft as determined by a desktop half-life appraisal by each of Ascend, AVITAS and AVAC, each of which appraisals shall be dated ten Business Days prior to the applicable LTV Test Date.
               (iv) Each LTV Test will be arranged by the Agent in a manner such that the results thereof will be available no later than ten Business Days prior to the applicable LTV Test Date, and the costs of the related appraisals shall be paid by the Borrower.
               (v) The principal amounts to be prepaid under Section 3(i)(ii) above in respect of the Loan of any Series shall be applied pro rata amongst all remaining installments of such Loan; provided that, at the Borrower’s option and subject to payment by the Borrower of any associated Break Amount (calculated as though the related Loan Certificates were being repaid and reborrowed with the resulting amortization schedule as hereafter provided), the Borrower may direct the Agent to recalculate the amortization schedules for the Loan Certificates in respect of such Series to provide that the remaining principal amount is repaid on a level mortgage-style basis calculated on the same basis as the original amortization schedule for the Loans in respect of such Series as provided in Section 3(a) hereof. If such amortization schedules are so recalculated and the Borrower

12


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
has approved them, the resulting schedules shall be incorporated in the related Loan Certificates by an allonge executed and delivered by the Borrower, and the related amortization schedule attached to the related Mortgage Supplement shall be amended by an appropriate instrument prepared by the Agent and reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower.
          (j) Right of Repayment and Cancellation in Relation to a Single Loan Participant. If:
                    (1) any sum payable to any Loan Participant by the Borrower is required to be increased under paragraph (d) of Schedule III hereto; or
                    (2) any Loan Participant claims indemnification from the Borrower under Section 8(c) hereof, or
                    (3) the Market Disruption Floating Interest Rate or the Market Disruption Fixed Interest Rate quoted by any Type B Loan Participant after the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event is deemed unacceptably high by the Borrower, acting reasonably;
then the Borrower may, while the circumstance giving rise to the requirement or indemnification continues, upon not less than 30 days (or such shorter period as the relevant Loan Participant may agree) prior notice to the Agent and such Loan Participant either (1) cancel the commitment of that Loan Participant and repay that Loan Participant’s Loans together with accrued Commitment Fee, if any, accrued interest thereon, Break Amount, if any, the Prepayment Fee, if any, and such Loan Participant’s allocable share of all other amounts due and owing by the Borrower under the Operative Documents or (2) cause that Loan Participant to transfer its Loans, Commitments and other rights and obligations hereunder to a transferee designated by the Borrower and permitted under Section 16(c) for a purchase price equal to the outstanding amount of principal owed to such Loan Participant as of the relevant date of transfer together with any accrued and unpaid Commitment Fee, accrued interest, Break Amount thereon and the Prepayment Fee, if any. In the case of any prepayment effected pursuant to clause (1) or (2) of this Section 3(j), (x) in respect of the Break Amount payable to any Type A Loan Participant in association therewith, only 50% of the component thereof constituting Liquidity Break Amount shall be payable; provided, that, as to any such Liquidity Break Amount calculation, the Liquidity Reserve Differential shall not include the reduction of 0.25% per annum set forth in the definition thereof and (y) in respect of the Prepayment Fee (if any) payable to any Type B Loan Participant in association therewith, only 50% of such Prepayment Fee shall be payable.
          (k) Yield Protection.
           (i) If with respect to any Interest Period relating to any Series and any Type B Loan Certificate of such Series:
                    (1) the Agent (acting on advice of the Type B Loan Participants, each acting reasonably and in good faith) determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on all parties) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market or any other applicable

13


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
financial market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR rate for such period; or
          (2) the Holder of such Type B Loan Certificate, acting reasonably and in good faith, advises the Agent that the LIBOR rate as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Holder of maintaining or funding its Loan in line with prudent banking practice for such Interest Period; provided, that such inadequacy is the result of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market generally and is not directly and solely the result of a deterioration in the financial condition of such Holder,
(each, a “Market Disruption Event”), then (x) the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and (y) so long as such circumstances shall continue, the portion of the Loan that relates to such Type B Loan Certificate shall bear interest, for each Interest Period of the related Series (A) in the case of a Floating Rate Loan, at the cost of funds of such Holder for such Interest Period (determined as provided in paragraph (ii) below), expressed as a percentage rate per annum, plus the Applicable Margin (applicable to Type B Loan Certificates of such Series) (the “Market Disruption Floating Interest Rate”) and (B) in the case of a Fixed Rate Loan, at the Fixed Rate applicable to such Type and Series of Loan Certificates plus an amount equal to the difference of (I) the cost of funds of such Holder for such Interest Period (determined as provided in paragraph (ii) below), expressed as a percentage rate per annum minus (II) the LIBOR rate for such Interest Period (the “Market Disruption Fixed Interest Rate”).
          (ii) If the provisions of this Section 3(k) are applicable, then each affected Holder shall report, as provided in paragraph (iv) below, to the Agent its cost of funds for such Interest Period and, based on the report of each such Holder as to such cost of funds, the Agent shall calculate the weighted average thereof. Promptly following the calculation of such average, the Agent shall advise the Borrower and the affected Holders thereof.
          (iii) The report by any Holder of a Type B Loan Certificate to the Agent of its cost of funds for any Interest Period shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and shall constitute a certification by such Holder that the interest rate so provided is an accurate, fair and non-discriminatory calculation of its Treasury-assessed funding costs for such period.
          (iv) If the provisions of this Section 3(k) are applicable, each Type B Loan Participant shall report to the Agent its cost of funds for each affected Interest Period as soon as practicable and, in any event, prior to the first day of such Interest Period (or promptly thereafter); provided that if such Type B Loan Participant is not able to obtain deposits in the London interbank (or other relevant) market matching such Interest Period, notice of its cost of funds rate shall be provided as follows: (i) prior to the first day of such Interest Period (or promptly thereafter), such Type B Loan Participant shall provide to the Agent an approximation of the cost to such Type B Loan Participant of such funding for such Interest Period; and (ii) prior to the last day of such Interest Period (or earlier, to the extent practicable if deposits of a duration longer than

14


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
one day are obtained), such Type B Loan Participant shall provide to the Agent the actual cost to such Type B Loan Participant of such funding for such Interest Period.
          (v) Notwithstanding Section 2.06 of the Mortgage (or any other provision in the Operative Documents requiring that interest be paid on a pro rata basis), in respect of each Interest Period of the related Series with respect to which a Market Disruption Event shall be applicable, the Security Trustee shall pay to each affected Holder of such Series from the funds provided by the Borrower pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) interest on the portion of the Loan that relates to the Type B Loan Certificate of such Series held by such Holder at the Market Disruption Floating Interest Rate applicable to such Holder or the Market Disruption Fixed Interest Rate applicable to such Holder, as the case may be, provided in clause (i) above for such Holder.
          (vi) All amounts payable under this Section 3(k) shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual number of days elapsed.
          (1) Alternative Basis. If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest payable in respect of Type B Loan Certificates, provided that any alternative basis agreed shall, with the prior consent of each affected Type B Loan Participant and the Borrower, be binding on all parties. For the avoidance of doubt, during any such period of negotiation, the Borrower shall be required to perform its obligations under the preceding paragraph (k).
          (m) Manner of Payment. All amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be payable without setoff or counterclaim in immediately available funds to the Person entitled thereto, and to such Person’s account specified on Schedule I or as otherwise directed.

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
          (ii) Claims Excluded. The foregoing indemnity shall not extend to any Expense of any Indemnitee to the extent attributable to one or more of the following:
          (1) acts or omissions involving the willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or any Person acting on behalf of such Indemnitee (other than gross negligence imputed to such Indemnitee solely by reason of its interest in the applicable Designated Aircraft);
          (2) the failure by such Indemnitee to perform or observe any agreement, covenant or condition in any of the Operative Documents applicable to it, including, without limitation, the creation or existence of a Finance Party Encumbrance (except to the extent such failure was caused directly by the failure of the Borrower to perform any of its obligations under the Operative Documents);
          (3) any representation or warranty by such Indemnitee in the Operative Documents or in connection therewith being incorrect in any material respect;
          (4) with respect to any Indemnitee, a disposition (voluntary or involuntary) by such Indemnitee of all or any part of such Indemnitee’s interest in any Loan Certificate, the Airframe associated with any Designated Aircraft, any Engine associated with any Designated Aircraft or in any Operative Document other than during the continuance of an Event of Default;
          (5) any Tax, or increase in tax liability under any tax law whether or not the Borrower is required to indemnify for such Tax pursuant to Schedule III hereto (such matter being the subject to the indemnity in Schedule III hereto);
          (6) a failure on the part of the Security Trustee to distribute in accordance with the Mortgage for any Designated Aircraft any amounts received and distributable by it thereunder;

          (8) any Claim that constitutes a Finance Party Encumbrance attributable to such Indemnitee;
          (9) any Claim to the extent attributable to violations of applicable securities laws attributable to any Loan Participant’s own actions in connection with any offer, sale, assignment or other disposition of its Loans under this Agreement by such Loan Participant;
          (10) the authorization or giving or withholding of any future amendments, supplements, waivers, or consents with respect to any of the

28


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
Operative Documents other than such as have been consented to, approved, authorized or requested by the Borrower;
          (11) any Expense which is specified to be for account of an Indemnitee pursuant to the Operative Documents without express right of reimbursement under any Operative Document;
          (12) any Claim to the extent it is an ordinary and usual internal operating expense of such Indemnitee other than such expenses caused by an Event of Default; or
          (13) any acts or events (other than acts or events related to the performance or failure to perform by Borrower of its obligations pursuant to the terms of the Operative Documents) that occur after the Security Trustee is required to release all Mortgage Collateral from the Lien of the Mortgage for any Designated Aircraft, except to the extent attributable to acts or events occurring prior thereto.
          The foregoing indemnity shall not extend to any Expense to the extent that such Expense is not caused by, or does not arise out of, an act, omission or event which occurs prior to the termination of the Lien of the Mortgage for any Designated Aircraft and the payment of all other payments required to be paid by the Borrower under the Operative Documents or that is expressly required by the terms of the Operative Documents to be paid by such Indemnitee.
          The Borrower further agrees that any payment or indemnity pursuant to this Section 8(b) in respect of any “Expense” shall be in an amount which, after deduction of all Taxes required to be paid by such recipient with respect to such payment or Indemnity under the laws of any Federal, state or local government or taxing authority in the United States, or under the laws of any taxing authority or governmental subdivision of a foreign country, or any territory or possession of the United States or any international authority, shall be equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of such Expense over (B) the net reduction in Taxes required to be paid by such recipient resulting from the accrual or payment of such Expense.
          (iii) Claims Procedure. If a claim is made against an Indemnitee involving one or more Expenses and such Indemnitee has notice thereof, such Indemnitee shall promptly after receiving such notice give notice of such claim to the Borrower; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations to indemnify hereunder except to the extent that the Borrower is prejudiced as a result of the failure to give such notice in a timely fashion, and no payment by the Borrower to an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any right or remedy which the Borrower may have against such Indemnitee for any actual damages as a result of the failure by such Indemnitee to give the Borrower such notice. The Borrower shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to the respective Indemnitee, so long as the Borrower has acknowledged in writing its responsibility for such Expense hereunder (unless such Expense is covered by the second paragraph of this Section 8(a)(ii), except that such acknowledgment does not apply if the decision of a

29


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
court or arbitrator provides that the Borrower is not liable hereunder), (A) in any judicial or administrative proceeding that involves solely a claim for one or more Expenses, to assume responsibility for and control thereof, (B) in any judicial or administrative proceeding involving a claim for one or more Expenses and other claims related or unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents, to assume responsibility for and control of such claim for Expenses to the extent that the same may be and is severed from such other claims (and such Indemnitee shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain such severance), and (C) in any other case, to be consulted by such Indemnitee with respect to judicial proceedings subject to the control of such Indemnitee and to be allowed, at the Borrower’s sole expense, to participate therein. The Indemnitee may participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in any judicial proceeding controlled by the Borrower pursuant to the preceding provisions. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any such judicial or administrative proceedings if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if such proceedings will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any Designated Aircraft unless the Borrower shall have posted a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitee with respect to such risk or if such proceedings could entail any risk of criminal liability being imposed on such Indemnitee.
          The Indemnitee shall supply the Borrower with such information reasonably requested by the Borrower as is necessary or advisable for the Borrower to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 8(a)(iii). Such Indemnitee shall not enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any Expense without the prior written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Expense under this Section 8(a).
          The Borrower shall supply the Indemnitee with such information reasonably requested by the Indemnitee as is necessary or advisable for the Indemnitee to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 8(a).
          In the case of any Expense indemnified by the Borrower hereunder which is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by the Borrower (or any Lessee) pursuant to Article VI of the Mortgage for any Designated Aircraft or otherwise, it shall be a condition of such indemnity with respect to any particular Indemnitee that such Indemnitee shall cooperate with the insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise such Expense as may be required to retain the benefits of such insurance with respect to such Expense. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, with respect to any Expense which is covered under policies of insurance maintained by the Borrower (or any Lessee) pursuant to Article VI of the Mortgage for any Designated Aircraft or otherwise, the rights of an Indemnitee to control or participate in any proceedings shall be modified to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of such policies and the rights of the insurers thereunder.
          To the extent of any payment of any Expense pursuant to this Section 8(a), the Borrower, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any claims the Indemnitee may have relating thereto. The Indemnitee agrees to give such further assurances or agreements and to

30


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
cooperate with the Borrower to permit the Borrower to pursue such claims, if any, to the extent reasonably requested by the Borrower.
          In the event that the Borrower shall have paid an amount to an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 8(a), and such Indemnitee subsequently shall be reimbursed in respect of such indemnified amount from any other Person, such Indemnitee shall promptly pay the Borrower the amount of such reimbursement, including interest received attributable thereto, provided that no Special Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
          (b) Tax Indemnities. The general tax and withholding tax indemnities are specified in Schedule III hereto, which provisions are incorporated herein by reference.
          (c) Increased Costs.
     (i) If, by reason of any Change in Law occurring after the date hereof:
               (x) a Loan Participant or any Holding Company of such Loan Participant has a reduction on its rate of return on its capital as relates to the class of assets and liabilities that includes its commitments and Loans (taking into account any Swap Transaction) made under this Agreement below that which such Loan Participant or Holding Company would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into account the capital adequacy policies developed by such Loan Participant in connection with the adoption and/or implementation of the Basel II and Basel III accords);
               (y) a Loan Participant or any Holding Company of such Loan Participant incurs a cost as a result of such Loan Participant entering into or assuming or maintaining a commitment or performing its obligations (including its obligation to participate in the making of the Loan or enter into any Swap Transaction) under this Agreement; or
               (z) there is any increase in the cost to a Loan Participant or any Holding Company of such Loan Participant of funding or maintaining all or any of the Loans (including any Swap Transaction) comprised in a class of loans formed by or including such Loan Participant’s share of the Loans made or to be made by such Loan Participant, including any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement assessed against assets of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, such Loan Participant;
then, subject to the provisions of this Section 8(c), the Borrower shall, from time to time on demand of the Agent (on behalf of any Loan Participant), promptly pay to the Security Trustee for the account of that Loan Participant, amounts sufficient to hold harmless and indemnify such Loan Participant on an After-Tax Basis, from and against, as the case may be, (x) the reasonably allocable portion of any such reduction in the rate of return on capital, (y) any such actual cost, (z) any such increased cost (or such proportion of such increased cost as is reasonably attributable to its participating in the funding or maintaining of the Loans or any Swap Transaction) (together, “Increased Costs”); provided, that:

31


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
          (1) the Borrower shall have no liability under this Section 8(c) in respect of any Taxes;
          (2) the Borrower shall have no liability under this Section 8(c) if (i) the Borrower elects to direct the transfer or to repay the affected Loans and cancels the affected commitments pursuant to Section 3(j) hereof (provided that the Borrower shall nevertheless be liable under this Section 8(c) for increased costs relating to the period prior to such prepayment and cancellation), (ii) such Loan Participant is not also seeking indemnification against similar increased costs, to the extent it is entitled to do so, in transactions with substantial borrowers (it being agreed that an officer’s certificate to the contrary from any such Loan Participant shall constitute sufficient evidence of such fact) or (iii) the claim for Increased Costs arises out of a voluntary relocation by such Loan Participant of its Facility Office;
          (3) such Loan Participant shall only be entitled to receive compensation for such Increased Costs from and after the time that is 120 days prior to the date the Increased Cost Notice referred below is received by Borrower; and
          (4) such Loan Participant will (at Borrower’s expense) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the amount of the Increased Costs associated with such event, including designating a different Facility Office to hold the Loans if such designation will avoid or reduce such Increased Costs and will not, in the sole opinion of such Loan Participant, result in any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage to such Loan Participant (other than economic disadvantages for which the Borrower has provided an indemnity acceptable to such Loan Participant).
          (ii) A Loan Participant intending to make a claim for increased Costs pursuant to Section 8(c)(i) shall, within 30 days after becoming aware of the same, provide written notice to the Agent and the Borrower in writing of the event by reason of which it is entitled to do so (the “Increased Cost Notice”); provided, that:
          (x) the Increased Cost Notice shall described the events giving rise to such Increased Costs, the basis for determining and allocating such Increased Costs and the amount of each request by such Loan Participant for compensation under this Section 8(c), together with a statement that the determinations and allocations made in respect of the Increased Costs comply with the provisions of this Section 8(c); and
          (y) such Loan Participant shall not be required to disclose any confidential information relating to the organization of its affairs, or its capital structure or return on capital.
          (iii) Certificate of Loan Participants. A certificate of a Loan Participant as to (i) any amount payable to it under this Agreement or (ii) the amount of any

32


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
indemnity payable to it, or for its account, under this Section 8(c) shall, in either case and in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amount of such obligation of the Borrower so long the underlying determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis.
          (iv) No Greater Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Loan Participant changes its Facility Office or Agent changes the office through which it is acting or Agent or a Loan Participant assigns or transfers the whole or any part of the Loan or its rights, benefits or obligations under this Agreement and such change, assignment or transfer would at the date of such change, assignment or transfer subject the Borrower to any greater obligation or liability under this Agreement or any other Operative Documents than it would have been under on such date if no such change, assignment or transfer had then taken place, then unless such change, assignment or transfer was made at the request of the Borrower in order to mitigate or avoid the requirement for payment of additional amounts or increased costs or after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any amounts in excess of the amount that it would have been obliged to pay had no change, assignment or transfer then taken place.
          (d) Illegality.
          (i) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if any Change in Law or Illegality Event shall make it unlawful for any Loan Participant to maintain its Commitment or its portion of the Loans in respect of any Designated Aircraft, then the affected Loan Participant shall deliver to Borrower and Agent a written certification describing in reasonable detail the events giving rise to such unlawfulness. Upon receipt by Borrower of such notice, the Borrower and such Loan Participant shall negotiate for a period of 60 days in an effort to mitigate such illegality. During such mitigation period the affected Loan Participant shall not be required to make any Advances to the Borrower hereunder. If after such mitigation period, such unlawfulness cannot be resolved, then the provisions of clause (ii) below shall apply.
          (ii) If there shall have occurred and be continuing an event with respect to a Loan Participant of the type described in clause (i) above (an “Impaired Loan Participant”), then the Agent may and, if so instructed by the Borrower shall:
          (x) notify the Borrower and each other Loan Participant that such unlawfulness has occurred and give notice that (a) if no Advance shall then have been made by such Impaired Loan Participant, no Advance shall be made to the Borrower by such Impaired Loan Participant or (b) if an Advance shall then have been made by such Impaired Loan Participant, no further Advances shall be made to the Borrower by such Impaired Loan Participant, and request each other Loan Participant to take up the relevant portion of such Impaired Loan Participant’s commitments, if any, in which case each such other Loan Participant may (but shall not be obligated to) in its sole discretion assume its pro rata share of such Impaired Loan Participant’s commitments by providing written notice of such assumption to the Agent within five Business Days, and if such other Loan

33


 

[Facility Agreement [Atlas/747-8F 2011]]
Participant does not so elect in writing to assume its pro rata share of the Impaired Loan Participant’s commitments, the Agent shall send a further notice to each remaining Loan Participant, which in turn may (but shall not be obligated to) in its sole discretion assume the remaining available commitments of such Impaired Loan Participant on a pro rata basis by providing written notice of such assumption to the Agent within five Business Days; and
          (y) notify the Borrower and each other Loan Participant that such unlawfulness has occurred and, to the extent that applicable laws do not require the immediate repayment of all or a portion of such Impaired Loan Participant’s Loans, request each other Loan Participant to assume the relevant portion of such Impaired Loan Participant’s Loans, in which case each such other Loan Participant may (but shall not be obligated to) in its sole discretion assume its pro rata share of such Impaired Loan Participant’s Loans by providing written notice of such assumption to the Agent within five Business Days and otherwise complying with the procedure set out in Section 16(c) hereof, and if any other Loan Participant does not so elect in writing to assume its pro rata share of the Impaired Loan Participant’s Loans, the Agent shall send a further notice to each remaining Loan Participants, which in turn may (but shall not be obligated to) in its sole discretion assume the remaining available Loans of such Impaired Loan Participant on a pro rata basis by providing written notice of such assumption to the Agent within five Business Days and otherwise complying with the procedure set out in Section 16(c) hereof; and
          (z) to the extent that any of such Impaired Loan Participant’s Loans are not assumed by one or more of the other Loan Participants as contemplated in clause (x) or (y) above, or that applicable laws require the immediate repayment of all or a portion of such Impaired Loan Participant’s Loans, require the Borrower to repay the Loans advanced by such Impaired Loan Participant in full together with accrued interest, Break Amount, if any, the Prepayment Fee, if any, and all other amounts accrued and owing to such Impaired Loan Participant under the Operative Documents, whereupon the Borrower shall on the date specified in such notice (which shall be the earlier of the date on which applicable laws require the immediate repayment of all or a portion of such Impaired Loan Participant’s Loans and the Interest Payment Date first occurring not earlier than ten Business Days from the date of such notice), repay in full all such amounts. In the case of any prepayment effected pursuant to this clause (z), (A) in respect of the Break Amount payable to any Type A Loan Participant in association therewith, only 50% of the component thereof constituting Liquidity Break Amount shall be payable; provided, that, as to any such Liquidity Break Amount calculation, the Liquidity Reserve Differential shall not include the reduction of 0.25% per annum set forth in the definition thereof and (B) in respect of the Prepayment Fee (if any) payable to any Type B Loan Participant in association therewith, only 50% of such Prepayment Fee shall be payable.

          (g) The Operative Documents constitute the entire understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter thereof and supersedes all previous agreements, whether written or oral, concerning such subject matter.
          (h) If, at any time, any provision of the Operative Documents is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.
          (i) In no event shall any Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, and each Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

          (d) Indemnification. The holders of Loan Certificates agree to indemnify the Agent ratably in accordance with their respective Loan Certificates, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent (including by any holder of a Loan Certificate) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Operative Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no holder of a Loan Certificate shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent
