(j) Excepted Equipment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.1, no Grantor shall be required to file any Aircraft Security Agreement with the FAA or register any International Interest with the International Registry, in each case, with respect to any Excepted Equipment.”

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the other Loan Documents to the contrary, with respect to the assets on which Liens are or are intended to be granted pursuant to the Effective Date Senior Aircraft Security Agreements or any Post-Effective Date Senior Aircraft Security Agreement, the parties hereto each reserve all rights with respect to the validity, enforceability and perfection of the Liens of the Agent thereon as of the date hereof before giving effect to such agreements and any filing or registration made with respect thereto.

The Agent and the U.S. Borrower shall cooperate reasonably in selecting for designation aircraft engines (i) of similar models and types as the aircraft engines that ceased to constitute Specified Engines after the Third Amendment Effective Date (to the extent of aircraft engines available to be Designated as Senior Tranche Collateral) and (ii) having an aggregate Value as closely as reasonably possible matching (but not exceeding) such deficiency; provided, that the aggregate Value of aircraft engines Designated as Senior Tranche Collateral shall not, together with the aggregate cash proceeds received by the Grantors after the Third Amendment Effective Date in respect of sales of Specified Aircraft, exceed $40,000,000.

(c) Aircraft. Upon the sale of a Specified Aircraft, the U.S. Borrower shall provide written notice to the Agent of (a) the date of consummation of such sale, (b) the aircraft subject to such sale, (c) the Value of such aircraft, (d) the cash proceeds in respect of the sale of such aircraft received after the Third Amendment Effective Date, (e) the aggregate cash proceeds received by the Grantors after the Third Amendment Effective Date in respect of the sale of Specified Aircraft and (f) the Aggregate Available Value after giving effect to such sale.

The Agent and the U.S. Borrower shall cooperate reasonably in selecting Newly Registered Aircraft for designation as follows:

(i) if the Specified Aircraft sold is a jet, (A) a jet of the same model shall be selected and (B) if no jet of the same model is available for designation, one or more jets of different models and propeller aircraft shall be selected having an aggregate Value as closely as reasonably possible matching (but not exceeding) such Aggregate Available Value (with jets of different models being selected first to the extent available and to the extent such jets can be selected without exceeding such Aggregate Available Value); and

(ii) if the Specified Aircraft sold is a propeller plane, (A) a propeller plane of the same model shall be selected and (B) if no propeller plane of the

 

8


same model is available for designation, one or more propeller planes of different models and jets shall be selected having an aggregate Value as closely as reasonably possible matching (but not exceeding) such Aggregate Available Value (with propeller planes of different models being selected first to the extent available and to the extent such propeller planes can be selected without exceeding such Aggregate Available Value).

(d) Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Agent shall not be obligated to Designate as Senior Tranche Collateral any assets in connection with any sale of a Specified Aircraft occurring after the earlier to occur of (i) the Termination Date or (ii) the sale of a Specified Aircraft as a result of which (such sale, the “Final Designation Sale”) the aggregate cash proceeds received by the Grantors after the Third Amendment Effective Date in respect of sales of Specified Aircraft shall exceed $40,000,000. In the case of the Final Designation Sale, for the purposes of paragraph (c) above, the Value of the related Specified Aircraft shall be reduced by a percentage equal to (A) the excess described in the foregoing clause (ii) divided by (B) the total cash proceeds received in respect of such sale.

(f) No Condition. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall not be a condition to the sale of any Specified Aircraft that any aircraft be Designated as Senior Tranche Collateral.”
