On February 8, 2019, the Company, through four wholly owned subsidiary limited liability companies (“LLC Borrowers”), entered into the Term Loans with Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, New York Branch (“Term Loan Lender”) that provides for six separate term loans  with an aggregate principal amount of $44.3 million. Each of the Term Loans is secured by a first priority security interest in a specific aircraft (“Term Loan Collateral Aircraft”) owned by an LLC Borrower, the lease for such aircraft, and a pledge by the Company of its membership interest in each of the LLC Borrowers, pursuant to a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) among the LLC Borrowers and Wilmington Trust Company, as Security Trustee, and certain pledge agreements. The interest rates payable under the Term Loans vary by aircraft, and are based on a fixed margin above either 30-day or 3-month LIBOR. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used to pay off Company debt from its purchase of the Term Loan Collateral Aircraft. The maturity of each Term Loan varies by aircraft, with the first Term Loan maturing in October 2020 and the last Term Loan maturing in May 2025. The debt under the Term Loans is expected to be fully amortized by rental payments received by the LLC Borrowers from the lessees of the Term Loan Collateral Aircraft during the terms of their respective leases and remarketing proceeds.

The Term Loans include covenants that impose various restrictions and obligations on the LLC Borrowers, including covenants that require the LLC Borrowers to obtain the Lender’s consent before they can take certain specified actions. Events of default under the Term Loans and the Security Agreement include, among others: any failure by the LLC Borrowers to make payments thereunder when due; certain defaults by the lessees of the Term Loan Collateral Aircraft under their lease agreements for such aircraft; any misrepresentation by an LLC Borrower in the Term Loans agreement or the Security Agreement or failure by an LLC Borrower to perform its obligations thereunder; the occurrence of certain bankruptcy events; any lapse or failure to maintain insurance coverage on the Term Loan Collateral Aircraft; and any suspension or cessation of business of an LLC Borrower or the Company. If such an event of default occurs, subject to certain cure periods for certain events of default, the Lender would have the right to terminate its obligations under the Term Loans, declare all or any portion of the amounts then outstanding under the Term Loans to be accelerated and due and payable, and/or exercise any other rights or remedies it may have under applicable law, including foreclosing on the assets that serve as security for the Term Loans.

On February 19, 2019, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement to the Credit Facility which, among other things, extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility with the lenders thereunder from May 31, 2019 to February 19, 2023; decreased the maximum availability thereunder from $170 million (with the ability for the Company to request an increase up to $180 million) to $145 million (with the ability for the Company to request an increase to up to $160 million); and modified certain of the Company’s financial ratio covenants.  Borrowings under the Credit Facility will continue to bear interest at floating rates that reset periodically to a market benchmark rate plus a credit margin, and the Company will also continue to be obligated to pay a quarterly fee on any unused portion of the Credit Facility at a rate of 0.50%.  The Credit Facility requires that within 30 days after closing of the financing, the Company must enter into an interest rate protection derivative instrument with respect to $50 million of the outstanding loan balance at closing.

The borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien in all of  the Company's assets, including the Company’s aircraft portfolio, except those aircraft that are subject to the Term Loans.  The Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with certain covenants relating to payment of taxes, preservation of existence, maintenance of property and insurance, and periodic financial reporting, as well as compliance with several financial ratio covenants.  The Credit Facility restricts the Company with respect to certain corporate level transactions and transactions with affiliates or subsidiaries without consent of the lenders. Events of default under the Loan Agreement include failure to make a required payment within three business days of a due date or to comply with other obligations under the Credit Facility (subject to specified cure periods for certain events of default), a default under other indebtedness of the Company, and a change in control of the Company.  Remedies for default under the Credit Facility include acceleration of the outstanding debt and exercise of any remedies available under applicable law, including foreclosure on the collateral securing the borrowings under the Credit Facility.
