Section 6.Waivers of Failures; Delays; Etc. No failure or delay on the part of any Contributor or Jefferson Holdings in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing among the Contributors and Jefferson Holdings shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which Jefferson Holdings or any Contributor would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Contributor in any case shall entitle such Contributor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Jefferson Holdings or any Contributor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 7.Waiver of Defenses Under Sections 365(c)(1), 365(c)(2) and 365(e)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Although the parties hereto intend and believe that this Agreement is not an executory contract, in as much as the Contributors are the only Persons with contractual obligations hereunder, in the event that such characterization is not upheld in the event of any insolvency proceeding in respect of Jefferson Holdings, each Contributor hereby waives, to the fullest extent it may do so under applicable law, any protection to which it may be entitled under Sections 365(c)(1), 365(c)(2) and 365(e)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision with respect thereto in the event that Jefferson Holdings becomes a debtor under a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code (a “Bankruptcy Event”). Specifically, in the event that the trustee in any Bankruptcy Event with respect to Jefferson Holdings or the debtor-in-possession with respect thereto takes any action (including the institution of any action, suit or other proceeding for the purpose of enforcing the rights of Jefferson Holdings hereunder), no Contributor shall assert any defense, claim or counterclaim denying liability hereunder on the basis that this Agreement is an executory contract or a “financial accommodation” that cannot be assumed, assigned or enforced or on any other theory directly or indirectly based on Sections 365(c)(1), 365(c)(2) or 365(e)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision with respect thereto. If a Bankruptcy Event with respect to Jefferson Holdings shall occur, each Contributor agrees, after the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Event, to reconfirm in writing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, its prepetition waiver of any protection to which it may be entitled under Section 365(c)(1), 365(c)(2) and 365(e)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision with respect thereto, and, to give effect to such waiver, each Contributor consents, to the extent

4


permitted by applicable law, to the assumption and enforcement of each provision of this Agreement by the debtor-in-possession or the trustee of Jefferson Holdings in bankruptcy, as the case may be.

Section 8.Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Contributors under this Agreement shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid or performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever, including but not limited to the following:to the extent permitted by applicable law, any lack of validity or enforceability against any Person of this Agreement or any other Related Document or any other agreement or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith, or any rejection of this Agreement or any other Related Document by any party hereto or thereto;

(b)any amendment to, waiver of, consent to or departure from the terms of any of the Related Documents;

(c)the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that a Purchaser may have at any time against the Trustee, the District or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the other Related Documents or otherwise;

(d)any statement or any other document presented under this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; or

(e)any other circumstances or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Section 9.Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Contributors and Jefferson Holdings and each of their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Contributors and Jefferson Holdings and each of their respective successors and assigns. Other than as contemplated by Section 5 hereof, no party hereto may assign any of its respective rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of each other party hereto; provided, that the rights and obligations of Jefferson Holdings or any Contributor may be assigned to a Person that is the surviving, resulting or transferee entity in connection with a merger or consolidation of Jefferson Holdings or such Contributor with such other Person or the sale or disposal of all or substantially all of the assets of Jefferson Holdings or such Contributor to such other Person, so long as (a) such surviving, resulting or transferee entity (i) expressly and unconditionally assumes, in a written instrument, the punctual performance and observance of all of the obligations and conditions of this Agreement to be performed by Jefferson Holdings or such Contributor, (ii) has a net worth at least equal to the net worth of Jefferson Holdings or such Contributor immediately preceding such merger or consolidation, or sale or disposition, with net worth being determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) with respect to FTAI only, is either subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in accordance therewith files reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or has executed a Continuing Disclosure Agreement in a form which would satisfy the requirements of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the SEC (without regard to an exemption therefrom) if it had been an obligated person for which financial information or operating data of the general type required to be included in FTAI’s annual report filed with the SEC had been disclosed in an official statement in an offering of the Bonds and (b) such assignment does not have an adverse effect on any rating assigned to the Bonds. Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a)(i) and (ii), Jefferson Holdings and any Contributor may merge with, and Jefferson

5


Holdings and any Contributor other than FTAI may consolidate with or sell or dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, Jefferson Holdings or any other Contributor.

(b)FTAI will maintain on a consolidated basis an aggregate book value of Aviation Assets that is no less than (i) the aggregate principal of and interest payable on or before the First Initial Bonds Remarketing Date on the Bonds less (ii) any cash held in the Reserve Fund on the date of determination.

(c)FTAI will not, and will cause its subsidiaries that hold any Aviation Assets (collectively, the “Aviation Subsidiaries”) not to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to become effective (collectively, “incur”) any liens, security interests, encumbrances or pledges (“Liens”) securing indebtedness for borrowed money or capital leases, on any asset of the Aviation Subsidiaries, other than:

(i)Liens securing indebtedness incurred by FTAI, Jefferson Holdings, Jefferson Railport, any Aviation Subsidiary or any of their affiliates in order to satisfy (a) the obligations of Jefferson Holdings and Jefferson Railport pursuant to the Standby Purchase Agreement, or (b) the obligations of FTAI and certain of its subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, including liens granted in favor of the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds, pursuant to clause (a)(i) above; or
