(f)     Information for Filings. The Borrower shall promptly furnish to the Security Trustee such information within the Borrower's or any Permitted Lessee's possession, or reasonably available to or obtainable by the Borrower or such Permitted Lessee, as may be required to enable the Security Trustee timely to file any reports required to be filed by it as the Security Trustee under this Agreement with any Government Entity because of, or in connection with, the interest of the Security Trustee in any Aircraft, Airframe or Engine, or any other part of the Collateral; provided, however, that with respect to any such information which the Borrower reasonably deems commercially sensitive or confidential, the Security Trustee shall afford the Borrower a reasonable opportunity to seek from any such Government Entity a waiver of the obligation of any such information, or shall consent to the filing of such information directly by the Borrower in lieu of filing by the Security Trustee, and if any such waiver or consent is evidenced to the reasonable satisfaction of the Security Trustee then the Borrower shall not be required to furnish such information to the Security Trustee.

(g)     Maintenance. The Borrower shall maintain and operate each Aircraft, Airframe and Engine, or cause each Aircraft, Airframe and Engine to be maintained and operated, in accordance with (1) the Borrower's or a Permitted Lessee's maintenance program for such Aircraft, Airframe and Engine approved by the FAA under FAA Regulations Part 121 (or, if leased to a Permitted Lessee, in accordance with a maintenance program approved by or substantially equivalent to maintenance standards required by the FAA, the EASA or the central




civil aviation authority of Japan or Canada) (the "Maintenance Program"), so as to (i) keep such Aircraft, Airframe and Engine in as good operating condition as originally delivered hereunder, ordinary wear and tear excepted, (ii) keep such Aircraft in such operating condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certificate of such Aircraft to be maintained under FAA Regulations parts 21 and 121 or other Aviation Authority then having jurisdiction over the operation of such Aircraft under regulations which are, on the whole, qualitatively equivalent to FAA Regulations parts 21 and 121, except to the extent the FAA or other such Aviation Authority has revoked or suspended the airworthiness certificates for all aircraft of the same type and (iii) comply with all service, inspection, maintenance, modification, repair and overhaul regulations, directives and instructions which are mandatory by the FAA (or, if such Aircraft is registered in another country, the regulations of such country) upon the operator of such Aircraft and Engines from time to time; (2) the requirements of the Purchase Agreement so as to preserve the availability of any product warranties thereunder (including, without limitation, the Engine Warranties); and (3) except during periods when a Permitted Lease is in effect, the same standards as the Borrower uses with respect to aircraft of similar size in its fleet (including other aircraft of comparable size) and, during a period when a Permitted Lease is in effect, the same standards used by the Permitted Lessee thereunder with respect to similar aircraft of similar size in its fleet and operated by such Permitted Lessee in similar circumstances. The Borrower will not discriminate against any Aircraft (as compared to other aircraft of similar size, including other regional aircraft, in the Borrower's fleet), in respect of maintenance; provided that the foregoing non-discrimination provision shall not apply to any Optional Modifications or Mandatory Modifications (as such terms are defined below) to any Aircraft not required to be complied with prior to the Relevant Loan Maturity Date for the Relevant Loan. The Borrower further agrees that each Aircraft, Airframe and Engine will be maintained, used, serviced, repaired, overhauled and inspected in compliance with applicable Laws with respect to the maintenance of such Aircraft and in compliance with each applicable airworthiness certificate, license and registration relating to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine issued by the Aviation Authority, other than minor or non-recurring violations with respect to which corrective measures are taken promptly upon discovery thereof and except to the extent the Borrower or Permitted Lessee is contesting in good faith the validity or application of any such Law or requirement relating to any such certificate, license or registration in any reasonable manner which does not involve any risk of criminal liability or greater than non-material risk of material civil penalty against the Security Trustee or the Lender, or any material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine. The Borrower shall maintain or cause to be maintained the Aircraft Documents in English. The Borrower or a Permitted Lessee may have any Aircraft, Airframe, Engine or Part maintained by a third party under a maintenance agreement, provided that such third party shall be duly certified by the FAA as a repair station.

(h)     Replacement of Parts.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower, at its own cost and expense, will, or will cause a Permitted Lessee to, at its own cost and expense, promptly replace (or cause to be replaced) all Parts which may from time to time be incorporated or installed in or attached to any Aircraft, Airframe or Engine and which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for




use for any reason whatsoever. In addition, the Borrower may, at its own cost and expense, or may permit a Permitted Lessee at its own cost and expense to, remove (or cause to be removed) in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use; provided, however, that the Borrower, except as otherwise provided herein, at its own cost and expense, will, or will cause a Permitted Lessee at its own cost and expense to, replace such Parts as promptly as practicable; provided further that (1) landing gear and Engine Parts (excluding line-replaceable units and quick engine change Parts) shall be OEM Parts and (2) the maximum value of other OEM Parts replaced with non-OEM Parts with respect to an Aircraft shall not exceed $500,000 at any time during the term of the applicable Relevant Loan for such Aircraft. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens and pooling arrangements to the extent permitted by Section 3.3(i) below (and except in the case of replacement property temporarily installed on an emergency basis), and shall be in good operating condition and have a value and utility not less than the value and utility of the Parts replaced (assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition required under this Agreement). Except as otherwise provided herein, all Parts at any time removed from any Aircraft, Airframe or Engine shall remain subject to the Lien of this Agreement, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by Parts which have been incorporated or installed in or attached to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine and which meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified above. Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine as above provided, without further act, (i) such replacement part shall become subject to the Lien of this Agreement and be deemed part of such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine for all purposes hereof and of the Operative Agreements to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine and (ii) the replaced Part shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Security Trustee and shall no longer be deemed a Part under this Agreement.
(i)     Pooling of Parts.
Any Part removed from any Aircraft, Airframe or Engine may be subjected by the Borrower or a Permitted Lessee to a normal pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry, so long as, if such pooling arrangement is not with the Part manufacturer, such Part is subject to such pooling arrangement for a period of not more than twelve (12) months and entered into in the ordinary course of business of the Borrower or such Permitted Lessee, so long as a Part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine in accordance with Section 3.3(h) as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part. In addition, any replacement Part when incorporated or installed in or attached to any Aircraft, Airframe or Engine may be owned by any third party subject to such a normal pooling arrangement, so long as the Borrower, or Permitted Lessee, at its own cost and expense, as promptly thereafter as reasonably possible either (x) causes such replacement part to become subject to the Lien of this Agreement, free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens), at which time such replacement part shall become a Part or (y) replaces (or causes to be replaced) such replacement part by incorporating or installing in or attaching to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine a further replacement Part owned by Borrower or a Permitted Lessee free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens).

The Borrower shall, or shall cause a Permitted Lessee to, make (or cause to be made) such alterations and modifications in and additions to each Aircraft, Airframe and Engine as may be required from time to time by applicable Law, to the extent made mandatory in respect of such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine (a "Mandatory Modification"); provided, however, that the Borrower or any Permitted Lessee may, in good faith and by appropriate procedure, contest the validity or application of any Law, rule, regulation or order in any reasonable manner which does not involve any risk of criminal liability or material risk of material civil liability against the Security Trustee or the Lender, does not involve a material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine, and does not adversely affect the Security Trustee's Lien on such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine. In addition, so long as no Payment Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower, at its own cost and expense, may, or may permit a Permitted Lessee at its own cost and expense to, from time to time make such alterations and modifications in and additions to any Aircraft, Airframe or Engine (each an "Optional Modification") as the Borrower or such Permitted Lessee may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including, without limitation, removal of Parts which the Borrower or such Permitted Lessee deems are obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use in such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine ("Obsolete Parts"); provided, however, that (A) the aggregate value of such removed parts with respect to any Aircraft (based on their value on the Delivery Date) shall not exceed $2,500,000 and (B) no such Optional Modification shall (i) diminish the fair market value, utility, condition or useful life of such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine below its fair market value, utility, condition or useful life immediately prior to such Optional Modification (assuming such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine was in the condition required by this Agreement immediately prior to such Optional Modification), or (ii) cause such Aircraft to cease to have a standard certificate of airworthiness issued under FAA Regulations Parts 21 and 121 and cease to be eligible for operation under FAA Regulations Part 121. Except as otherwise provided herein, title to all Parts (other than Removable Parts (as defined below» incorporated in such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine as the result of such Optional Modification shall, without further act, become subject to the Lien of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.3(j), the Borrower or a Permitted Lessee may, at any time, remove any Part (such Part being referred to herein as a "Removable Part") if (i) such Part is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated in any Aircraft, Airframe or Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder, (ii) such Part is not required to be incorporated in such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine pursuant to the terms of Sections 3.3(g) or (h), and (iii) such Part can be removed from such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine without causing damage to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine that is not repaired by the Borrower. The Borrower shall be responsible for the cost of any such removal and repair of any such damage. Removable Parts may be leased from or financed by third parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Removable Part so leased from or financed by a third party shall not be subject to the Lien of this Agreement.

SECTION 5. REMEDIES OF THE SECURITY TRUSTEE UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT
Section 5.1     Remedies with Respect to Collateral. (a) Remedies Available. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, the Security Trustee (in accordance with the provisions of Section 6) shall, upon the written direction of the Lender, do one or more of the following to the extent permitted by, and subject to compliance with the mandatory requirements of, applicable law then in effect: (A)




demand the Borrower, upon the written demand of the Security Trustee, at the Borrower's expense, to deliver promptly, and the Borrower shall deliver promptly, all or such part of any Airframe or Engine as the Security Trustee, acting at the direction of the Lender, may so demand to the Security Trustee or its designee or, the Security Trustee, at its option, may enter upon the premises where all or any part of any Airframe or Engine is located and take immediate possession of and remove the same by summary proceedings or otherwise; and/or (B) sell all or any part of any Airframe or Engine at public or private sale, whether or not the Security Trustee shall at the time have possession thereof, as the Security Trustee, acting at the written direction of the Lender, may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle all or any part of such Airframe or Engine as the Security Trustee, in its sole discretion, acting at the written direction of the Lender, may determine, all free and clear of any rights or claims of the Borrower, and the proceeds of such sale or disposition shall be applied in the order of priorities set forth in Section 4.1; and/or (C) acting at the written direction of the Lender, exercise any other remedy of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought) and the Cape Town Treaty, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies under Chapter III of the Cape Town Treaty and Chapter II of the Aircraft Equipment Protocol or pursue any other remedy available at Law.
Upon every taking of possession of Collateral under this Section 5.1, the Security Trustee shall, acting at the written direction of the Lender, from time to time, at the expense of the Borrower, make all such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral, as it may reasonably deem proper. In each such case, the Security Trustee shall have the right to maintain, use, operate, store, lease, control or manage the Collateral and to exercise all rights and powers of the Borrower relating to the Collateral in connection therewith, as the Security Trustee shall deem best, acting at the written direction of the Lender, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, insurance, use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Security Trustee may, acting at the written direction of the Lender, reasonably determine; and the Security Trustee shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits of the Collateral and every part thereof. Such tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments which the Security Trustee may be required or may elect, acting at the written direction of the Lender, to make, if any, for Taxes, insurance or other proper charges assessed against or otherwise imposed upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and all other payments which the Security Trustee may be required or expressly authorized to make under any provision of this Security Agreement, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Security Trustee and all other amounts owing to the Security Trustee under Section 7.7, and shall otherwise be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.
The Borrower hereby consents to the exercise by the Security Trustee of the remedies granted herein and in the Cape Town Treaty. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Security Trustee may exercise such of the foregoing remedies as it shall determine in its sole discretion and none of the foregoing remedies is manifestly unreasonable.




If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Security Trustee shall be entitled to exercise remedies hereunder, at the request of the Security Trustee, acting at the written direction of the Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the Security Trustee such instruments of title and other documents as the Security Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to enable the Security Trustee or an agent or representative designated by the Security Trustee, at such time or times and place or places as the Security Trustee may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to which the Security Trustee shall at the time be entitled hereunder. In addition, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower agrees, upon demand by the Security Trustee, immediately to provide its consent to the International Registry for the discharge of any registration of an International Interest with respect to any Airframe or Engine made with the International Registry. If the Borrower shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by the Security Trustee, the Security Trustee, acting at the written direction of the Lender, may obtain a judgment conferring on the Security Trustee the right to immediate possession and requiring the Borrower to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to the Security Trustee, to the entry of which judgment the Borrower hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so. The Security Trustee hereby agrees to give to the Borrower at least 30 days' notice for any request under this paragraph, which the Borrower and the Security Trustee agree satisfies the requirement of "reasonable prior notice" specified in article IX(6) of the Aircraft Equipment Protocol in connection with a proposal to procure the de-registration and export of the Aircraft without a court order.
Nothing in the foregoing shall affect the right of the Lender to receive all amounts owing to the Lender as and when the same may be due.
(b)     Notice of Sale. The Security Trustee shall give the Borrower at least 30 days' prior notice of any public sale or of the date on or after which any private sale will be held, which notice the Borrower hereby agrees to the extent permitted by applicable law is reasonable notice and satisfies the requirement of "reasonable prior notice" in Article 8(4) of the Cape Town Treaty. The Lender shall be entitled to bid for and become the purchaser of any Collateral offered for sale pursuant to this Section 5.1 and to credit against the purchase price bid at such sale by the Lender all or any part of the due and unpaid amounts of the Secured Obligations secured by the Lien of this Security Agreement.
Section 5.2     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 Agreements, 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, acting at the written direction of the Lender, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Security Trustee in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit 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.
Section 5.3     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).

The Security Trustee shall not be required to take any action under Section 6.1 (other than the first two sentences thereof), Section 6.2 or Section 5, nor shall any other provision of this Security Agreement or any other Operative 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 any Aircraft 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 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.

The Security Trustee's sole responsibility with respect to such reports, opinions, notices, requests, demands, certificates, financial statements and other instruments shall be to furnish them to the Lender to the extent provided in this Section.

Such insurance shall be of the type usually carried by the Borrower with respect to similar aircraft and engines, and covering risks of the kind customarily insured against by the Borrower.

B.     Hull Insurance
Subject to the rights of the Borrower under Section G, the Borrower shall, without expense to Lender or Security Trustee, maintain or cause to be maintained in effect at all times with insurers of nationally or internationally recognized responsibility (i) all risk ground and flight hull insurance, which may, except as provided below, exclude war risks and allied perils, covering each Aircraft for an amount at all times (even when such Aircraft is grounded or in storage) not less than 110% of the outstanding principal amount of the Relevant Loan in respect of such Aircraft (the "Debt Balance"); provided that, neither the Borrower nor any Permitted Lessee shall be required to maintain all risk flight aircraft hull insurance with respect to an Aircraft for any period in which such Aircraft is grounded and properly stored or hangared. Such insurance shall not provide insurers with a right to replace any Airframe or Engine with another airframe or engine. Such hull insurance or other insurance of the Borrower (or a Permitted Lessee') shall cover Engines and Parts temporarily removed from an Airframe, pending replacement by installation of the same or similar Engines or Parts on such Airframe. Such insurance shall be of the type usually carried by the Borrower with respect to similar aircraft and engines, and covering risks of the kind customarily insured against by the Borrower.
Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Section B covering an Aircraft and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies (i) shall name the Security Trustee as exclusive loss payee for any proceeds to be paid under such policies up to an amount equal to the Debt Balance for such Aircraft and (ii) shall provide that (A) in the event of a loss with respect to such Aircraft involving proceeds in excess of the Threshold Amount, the proceeds in respect of such loss shall be payable to the Security Trustee (so long as the Lien of this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft shall not have been discharged), except in the case of a loss with respect to an Engine installed on an airframe other than an Airframe, in which case the Borrower (or any Permitted Lessee) shall endeavor to arrange for any payment of insurance proceeds in respect of such loss to be held for the account




of the Security Trustee (so long as the Lien of this Agreement with respect to such Engine shall not have been discharged) whether such payment is made to the Borrower (or any Permitted Lessee) or any third party, it being understood and agreed that in the case of any payment to the Security Trustee otherwise than in respect of an Event of Loss, the Security Trustee shall, upon receipt of a certificate of a qualified engineer (who may be an employee of the Borrower) certifying that the damage giving rise to such payment shall have been repaired or that such payment shall then be required to pay for repairs then being made, pay the amount of such payment to the Borrower or its order, and (B) the entire amount of any loss with respect to such Aircraft involving proceeds of the Threshold Amount or less or the amount of any proceeds of any loss in excess of the Debt Balance for such Aircraft shall be paid to the Borrower or its designee, provided that if a Payment Default, Bankruptcy Default or any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the insurers have been notified thereof by the Lender or the Security Trustee, such payment referred to in clause (B) shall be made as provided in clause (i) above. In the case of a loss with respect to an engine (other than an Engine) installed on an Airframe, the Security Trustee shall hold any payment to it of any insurance proceeds in respect of such loss for the account of the Borrower or any other third party that is entitled to receive such proceeds.

C.     War-Risk, Hijacking and Allied Perils Insurance
The Borrower or such Permitted Lessee shall maintain or cause to be maintained at all times in effect with respect to all Aircraft (i) war risk and allied perils hull insurance in an amount not less than the Debt Balance and (ii) war risk and allied perils liability insurance in an amount not less than the greater of (x) the amount which the Borrower may carry from time to time on other similar aircraft in its fleet (whether owned or leased) and (y) $750,000,000 per occurrence; provided that, if the Borrower furnishes to the Security Trustee a certificate of a firm of aircraft insurance brokers (which may be the Borrower's regularly retained brokers) stating its opinion that a majority of the other U.S. regional air carriers similarly situated with the Borrower operating aircraft similar to such Aircraft on similar routes ("Similar Carriers") are carrying such insurance referred to in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii) in a lesser amount or are not carrying such insurance, then the Borrower shall be entitled to reduce the amount of coverage to the extent of the coverages carried by such Similar Carriers (including, if applicable, to none) provided that the Borrower does not carry such insurance in a greater amount of coverage on any other aircraft operated by the Borrower of the same type included in the Borrower's fleet.

D.     General Provisions
The Borrower shall cause all policies of insurance carried in accordance with Section A, B, and C, to name the Security Trustee and the Lender as additional insureds (collectively, the "Additional Insureds"), as their respective interests may appear. Such policies shall provide with respect to such Additional Insureds that (i) none of their respective interest in such policies shall be invalidated by any act or omission or breach of warranty or condition contained in such policies by the Borrower or, in the case of any particular Additional Insured, any other Additional Insured; (ii) no cancellation or lapse of coverage for nonpayment of premium or otherwise, and no substantial change of coverage which adversely affects the interests of any such Additional Insured, shall be effective as to such Additional Insured until 30 days (or such lesser period as may be applicable in the case of any war risk, hijacking and allied





perils insurance coverage) after receipt by such Additional Insured of written notice from the insurers of such cancellation, lapse or change; (iii) they shall have no liability for premiums, commissions, calls, assessments or advances with respect to such policies; (iv) such policies will be primary without any right of contribution from any other insurance carried by such Additional Insureds; (v) the insurers waive any rights of set-off, counterclaim, deduction or subrogation against such Additional Insureds; (vi) shall apply worldwide and have no territorial restrictions or limitations (except in the case of war risk, hijacking or related perils insurance, which shall apply to the fullest extent available in the international insurance market); and (vii) shall contain a 50/50% Clause per Lloyd's Aviation Underwriter's Association Standard Policy Form AVS 103. Each liability policy shall provide that all the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured and provide that the exercise by the insurer of rights of subrogation derived from rights retained by the Borrower will not delay payment of any claim that would otherwise be payable but for such rights of subrogation.

E.     Reports and Certificates; Other Information
The Borrower will furnish to the Lender and the Security Trustee (A) on or prior to the Relevant Borrowing Date for an Aircraft, insurance certificates describing in reasonable detail the insurance maintained by the Borrower as required pursuant to this Annex C with respect to such Aircraft, (B) prior to the cancellation, lapse or expiration of the insurance policies required pursuant to this Annex C, evidence of renewal of such insurance policies, and a copy of the renewed or new insurance policies with all endorsements not later than 30 days after any such cancellation, lapse or expiration, and (C) on or prior to the Relevant Borrowing Date for an Aircraft and on or before the renewal dates of the insurance policies carried by the Borrower pursuant to this Annex C, a report signed by a firm of aircraft insurance brokers, not affiliated with the Borrower, regularly retained by the Borrower, stating the opinion of such firm that all premiums in connection with the insurance then due have been paid and the insurance then carried and maintained on such Aircraft complies with the terms hereof and, in the case of renewal insurance, that such renewal insurance will on and after the effective date thereof so comply with the terms hereof (except that such opinion shall not be required with respect to war risk insurance provided by the FAA), provided that all information contained in such report shall be held confidential by the Lender and the Security Trustee and their respective agents (provided that they shall agree for the benefit of the Borrower to hold all such information similarly confidential) or as may be required by Applicable Law. The Borrower will instruct such firm to give prompt written advice to the Lender and the Security Trustee of any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of the Borrower of which it has knowledge and which would in such firm's opinion invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in any material part, any insurance on any Aircraft. The Borrower will also instruct such firm to advise the Lender and the Security Trustee in writing at least 30 days prior to the termination or cancellation of, or material adverse change in, such insurance carried and maintained on any Aircraft pursuant to this Annex C (or such lesser period as may be applicable in the case of war risk, hijacking and allied perils coverage).




F.     Right to Pay Premiums
The Additional Insureds shall have the rights but not the obligations of an additional named insured. None of the Additional Insureds shall have any obligation to pay any premium, commission, assessment or call due on any such insurance (including reinsurance). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of cancellation of any insurance due to the nonpayment of premiums, each of the Lender and the Security Trustee shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to pay any cash premium in respect of an Aircraft that is due in respect of the coverage pursuant to this Agreement and to maintain such coverage, as the Lender or the Security Trustee may require, until the scheduled expiry date of such insurance and, in such event, the Borrower shall, upon demand, reimburse the Lender and the Security Trustee for amounts so paid by them.
G.     Deductibles; Self-insurance
The Borrower may self-insure, by way of deductible or premium adjustment provisions in insurance policies or otherwise, the risks required to be insured against pursuant to Section 3.3(k) and this Annex C in such amounts as are then self-insured with respect to similar owned or leased aircraft in the Borrower's fleet but in no case shall such self-insurance in the aggregate exceed, on a per occurrence or on a fleetwide basis during any policy year, an amount equal to 5% of the Borrower's tangible net worth, calculated as at the end of the Borrower's immediately preceding fiscal year (but in no event to exceed $10,000,000). A deductible per occurrence that is not in excess of the prevailing standard market deductible for similar aircraft shall be permitted, for each aircraft in the Borrower's fleet, in addition to such self-insurance.

(iv)     The Inspection Agent shall be provided, on request, with any of the Aircraft Documents relating to an Aircraft undergoing inspection pursuant to this clause (a) to ensure that (I) such Aircraft Documents have been properly maintained and updated, and (2) such Aircraft Documents are a complete record of all checks and maintenance tasks carried out on such Aircraft demonstrating that all the checks and maintenance tasks in accordance with the Maintenance Program have been carried out given such Aircraft's flight history. Following a review of such Aircraft Documents, the Inspection Agent shall draw the Borrower's attention to anything that requires remedial action.

(v)     Following the physical inspection of an Aircraft and the related Aircraft Documents by the Inspection Agent pursuant to this clause (a), the Inspection Agent shall complete those additional inspection and reporting requirements set out in Part II of this





Annex D, including, but not limited to, delivering a report in the form prescribed in Part II of this Annex D (the "Annual Inspection Report") to the Borrower for initial review and, if appropriate, discussion with the Inspection Agent, and then the Borrower shall deliver, no later than six (6) months following the completion of such Annual Inspection, the Annual Inspection Report to the Lender and the Export Credit Guarantor.
(vi)     The cost and expense of each Annual Inspection shall be for the account of the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, absent the situation described in clause (a)(i)(y), the parties agree that each Aircraft need only undergo one Annual Inspection during any four-year period.
(b)     Inspections Generally. (i) An annual inspection under clause (a) (an "Annual Inspection") shall occur during normal business hours and shall not interfere with the operations of the Borrower, or any scheduled operation of the Aircraft or maintenance thereof.
(ii)     The Lender or its agents or representatives (the "Authorized Personnel") may conduct an inspection (a) at its cost, up to one Aircraft per year and (b) at any time while an Event of Default is continuing, at Borrower's cost and at any time, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this clause (b)(ii). For the purpose of such inspection of an Aircraft, the Authorized Personnel will be entitled to board the Aircraft. No inspection shall involve the opening of any fixed panels or interfere with the normal commercial operation or maintenance of the Aircraft by, or the business of, the Borrower. The Borrower shall ensure that the Authorized Personnel are permitted to, and afforded such facilities as may be reasonably necessary to, inspect or survey any Aircraft and its Manuals and Technical Records upon giving the Borrower reasonable notice.

(iii) In undertaking any inspection or examination pursuant to the terms of this Part I of Annex D, the Inspection Agent or the Authorized Personnel, as the case may be, shall comply with the Borrower's occupational health and safety requirements and any security restrictions and shall sign such agreements and/or waivers as may be customarily required by the Borrower in granting access to any Aircraft, Aircraft Documents or the premises where the same are located.
(iv) All references in this Part I of Annex D to the Borrower's obligation to procure access to an Aircraft and the related Aircraft Documents, and to non-interference with the Borrower's operations, shall be deemed to take into consideration the existence of any Permitted Lease of such Aircraft and the rights of the Permitted Lessee thereunder.

((i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, collectively, the "Assigned Rights")
(b) This Assignment is a present assignment and shall be effective, and the security interest created hereby shall attach, immediately upon execution of this Assignment; provided, however, that the Security Trustee shall not be entitled to exercise, and Republic alone shall remain entitled to exercise, any of the rights, powers, privileges, remedies and other benefits of Republic described above, unless and until an "Event of Default" under the Loan Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing.
2.Performance of Republic's Obligations. It is expressly agreed that notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, (i) Republic shall remain liable under the Lease to perform all of its obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Assignment had not been executed, and (ii) the Security Trustee shall not have any obligation or liability under the Lease solely by reason of or arising out of the Assignment, nor shall the Security Trustee or any other party be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligation of Republic under or pursuant to the Lease, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or to present or file any claim or to take any other action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts to which it or they may be entitled hereunder at any time or times.
3.Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, the Security Trustee may, at its option, exercise one or more of the remedies set forth below and/or available to it under the Security Agreement or which may be available to it under the New York Uniform Commercial Code whether or not applicable in the relevant jurisdiction, as the Security Trustee may, in its sole discretion determine, which remedies are cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy provided by law.

3.1     Collection of Lease Payments. The Security Trustee may collect and retain all rents, proceeds, payments and other moneys due or to become due under the Lease or any other property assigned hereunder and apply such amount to payments due under the Loan Agreement, as the Security Trustee, in its discretion, shall determine;

3.3     Sale. The Security Trustee may sell at public or private sale, without appraisal, for such price as it may deem fair, the Lease and all Republic's right, title and interest therein, in which case the Security Trustee shall give Republic at least 15 days' notice of the date fixed for any public sale or of the date on or after which will occur the execution of any contract providing for any private sale thereof, and each purchaser at any such sale shall hold such property absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Republic, Republic hereby waiving and releasing (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, appraisal, reclamation and turnover that Republic now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
4.Waiver, Invalidity of Remedies. Republic waives any right to require the Security Trustee to pursue any other remedy it may have against Republic. The invalidity or unenforceability of any remedy in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate such remedy or render it unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. The invalidity or unenforceability of any of the remedies provided herein in any jurisdiction shall not in any way affect the right to enforcement in such jurisdiction or elsewhere of any of the other remedies provided herein.
5.Power of Attorney. Republic does hereby constitute the Security Trustee and its successors and assigns, its respective true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power (in the name of Republic or otherwise) and at the expense of Republic but for the use and benefit of the Security Trustee, at any time after an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement has occurred and for so long as it is continuing, to enforce each and every term and provision of the Lease and any other property assigned hereunder, to ask, require, demand, receive, collect, compound and give acquittance and discharge for any and all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due under or arising out of the Lease or any other property assigned hereunder, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith, to settle, compromise, compound or adjust any such claims, to exercise and enforce any and all claims, rights, powers or remedies of every kind and description of Republic under or arising out of the Lease or any other property assigned hereunder, to file, commence, prosecute, compromise and settle in the name of Republic or the Security Trustee, or otherwise any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court, to collect any such moneys or to enforce any rights in respect thereto on all other claims, rights, powers and remedies of every kind and description of Republic under or arising out of the Lease or any other property assigned hereunder and generally to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of such claims, rights, powers and remedies as fully and completely as though the Security Trustee were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and at such times and in such manner as may seem to the Security Trustee to be necessary or advisable or convenient or proper in its absolute discretion.
