This AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURED SUPER-PRIORITY DEBTOR IN POSSESSION CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 1, 2009, among Frontier Airlines Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (in its individual capacity, “Frontier Holdings,” and in its capacity as agent on behalf of the Borrowers, “Borrower Agent”), Frontier Airlines, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Frontier Airlines”), and Lynx Aviation, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Lynx,” and, together with Frontier Holdings and Frontier Airlines, the “Borrowers” or the “Borrower”), each as a debtor and debtor in possession under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code; Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, National Association, acting in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders (as defined below) (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”); and the Lenders signatory hereto from time to time.

WHEREAS, on April 10, 2008, (the “Petition Date”), each of the Borrowers filed voluntary petitions for relief (collectively, the “Cases”) under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”); and

WHEREAS, the Borrowers are continuing to operate their respective businesses and manage their respective properties as debtors and debtors in possession under sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code; and

WHEREAS, certain of the parties hereto have previously entered into a Secured Super-Priority Debtor in Possession Credit Agreement dated as of August 4, 2008, as amended pursuant to Amendment No. 1 thereto dated November 15, 2008 (the “Existing DIP Credit Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed to amend and restate the Existing DIP Credit Agreement in its entirety to read as set forth below; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Annex A and, for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the rules of construction set forth in Annex A shall govern.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

1.1Credit Facilities.

 (a)Loan.

  (i)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the Effective Date, after giving effect to the last paragraph of Section 2.1, (x) term loans in an aggregate amount of $12,500,000 owed to the Continuing Lender that are outstanding under the Existing DIP Credit Agreement shall continue to remain outstanding hereunder (the “Existing Loans”) and (y) each Lender agrees to make to the Borrowers, jointly and severally, term loans (collectively, the “New Loan” or the “New Loans” and, together with the Existing Loans, the “Loan” or the “Loans”) in an amount equal to the excess of such Lender’s Commitment over the amount of such Lender’s Existing Loans. The Loans shall be evidenced by promissory notes substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each a “Note” and collectively the “Notes”). Each Note shall represent the joint and several obligation of each Borrower to pay the amount of the applicable Lender’s Loan, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 1.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Commitments shall terminate upon the funding of the New Loan pursuant to Section 2.1

  (ii)The aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Maturity Date, if not sooner paid in full. No payment with respect to the Loan may be reborrowed.

  (iii)Each payment of principal with respect to the Loan shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of each Lender, ratably in proportion to each such Lender’s respective Commitment.

1.2Prepayments.

 (a)Voluntary Prepayments. Borrowers may at any time on at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, voluntarily prepay the Loans; provided that (i) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of $2,500,000 and integral multiples of $2,500,000 in excess of such amount; and (ii) any such prepayment shall be applied pursuant to Section 1.3;

 (b)Mandatory Prepayments.

(i)Upon the issuance by any Borrower of any of its Stock to any Person other than another Borrower (or the receipt of any capital contribution by any Borrower from any Person other than another Borrower), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by any Borrower.

(ii)Immediately upon the receipt by any Borrower of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale, the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds, provided, however, that (A) sales of Subject Assets shall be subject to the terms in the immediately succeeding clauses (iii) and (iv); (B) with respect to Asset Sales (other than Subject Assets which are addressed in clause (iii) and (iv) below) permitted pursuant to clauses (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (i) (except as set forth in clause (v) below), (j), or (k) of Section 6.8 hereof, the Borrowers shall not be required to make any prepayment of Loans with any Net Cash Proceeds received from such Asset Sales; (C) with respect to Asset Sales permitted by Section 6.8(a) (other than Subject Assets which are addressed in clause (iii) and (iv) below), the Borrowers shall not be required to make prepayments of Loans with any Net Cash Proceeds received from such Asset Sales unless and until the gross proceeds from such Asset Sales, in the aggregate, exceed $2,000,000 (measured from the Closing Date); and (D) with respect to Asset Sales permitted by Section 6.8(b) (other than Subject Assets which are addressed in clause (iii) and (iv) below), the Borrowers shall not be required to make prepayments of Loans with any Net Cash Proceeds received from such Asset Sales unless and until the gross proceeds from such Asset Sales, in the aggregate, exceed $3,000,000 (measured from the Closing Date).

  (iii)Upon the sale of any Subject Asset (excluding Subject Assets consisting of spare parts (which are addressed in clause (iv) below)), Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 75% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Subject Asset; provided that, the Borrowers shall not be required to make prepayments of Loans with any Net Cash Proceeds received from the sales of A318 aircraft permitted by Section 6.8(n) except to the extent the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sales, in the aggregate, exceed $1,200,000.

  (iv)Upon the sale of any spare part or any rotable or expendable that either (x) is outside the ordinary course of business or (y) generates Net Cash Proceeds in an aggregate amount in any month in excess of $100,000, Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 75% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

  (v)Upon the sale-leaseback, synthetic lease or similar transaction with respect to Q400 engines permitted by Section 6.8(i) and the proviso to Section 6.8, the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sales.

  (vi)Immediately upon the receipt by any Borrower of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Property Loss Event, the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

 (c)No Implied Consent. Nothing in this Section 1.2 shall be construed to constitute the Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s consent to any transaction that is not permitted by other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

1.3Priority and Application of Payments.

The Borrowers hereby irrevocably waive the right to direct the application of any and all payments received from or on behalf of any Borrower, and the Borrowers and the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Administrative Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and all such payments against the Obligations as follows: first, to Fees and reimbursable expenses of the Administrative Agent then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to interest then due and payable on the Loan; third, to prepay the remaining principal amount of the Loan, until the Loan shall have been paid in full; and fourth, to all other Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders. All payments and prepayments shall be applied ratably to the portion thereof held by each Lender as determined by its Pro Rata Share.

1.4Use of Proceeds.

The Borrowers shall utilize the proceeds of the Loans to repay certain of the amounts outstanding under the Existing DIP Credit Agreement as contemplated by Section 2.1(g) and to provide general working capital and to pay ordinary operating costs and expenses of the Borrowers to the extent, and only to the extent, such costs and expenses are consistent in all material respects with the Projections and permitted by the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Court.

1.5Interest and Applicable Margins.

 (a)(i)  Subject to clause (e) below, the Borrowers may, at their option (an “Interest Election”) elect to pay interest on the Loans on each Interest Payment Date (i) entirely in cash (“Cash Interest”) or (ii) entirely by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Loans on the relevant Interest Payment Date by the amount of interest accrued from the effective date of any such Interest Election until such Interest Payment Date (“PIK Interest”).  The Borrowers must make an Interest Election by delivering a notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 5 Business Days prior to the effective date of any Interest Election, which notice shall specify (x) whether such Interest Election is made under clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 1.5(a) and (y) the effective date of such Interest Election.  An Interest Election shall remain in effect until the earlier of (A) the delivery by the Borrowers of a new Interest Election and (B) the Maturity Date. In the event no Interest Election is made, interest on the Loans shall be PIK Interest.

 (b)Subject to clause (e) below, Loans shall bear interest from the Effective Date at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of Cash Interest, 13.00% per annum and (ii) in the case of PIK Interest, 15.00% per annum.  Cash Interest on each Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date.  PIK Interest on each Loan shall be payable by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Loans by the amount of PIK Interest on each Interest Payment Date. Any interest so added to the principal amount of the Loans shall bear interest as provided in this Section 1.5 from the date on which such interest has been so added. The obligation of the  Borrowers to pay PIK Interest shall be automatically evidenced by this Agreement or, if applicable, any Notes issued pursuant to this Agreement.  Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes hereof, references to “principal amount” of the Loans refers to the face amount of the Loans and not the gross proceeds funded hereunder and includes any PIK Interest so capitalized and added to the principal amount of the Loans from the date on which such interest has been so added.

 (c)If any payment on any Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

 (d)All computations of interest shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a 365/366 day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.

 (e)So long as (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 8.1(a), (f), (h), (l), (m) or (n) or (ii) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given written notice to the Borrowers, the Loans and all other outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at 2.00% per annum above the rate otherwise applicable to the Loans (the “Default Rate”). Interest at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default until that Event of Default is cured or waived and shall be payable in cash on each Interest Payment Date.

1.6 Commitmemt Fees.

The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to $1,000,000, earned and payable on the Effective Date.

1.7Receipt of Payments.

The Borrowers shall make each payment under this Agreement not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in immediately available funds in Dollars to any account specified in writing by Administrative Agent to Borrowers. For purposes of computing interest as of any date, all payments shall be deemed received on the Business Day on which immediately available funds therefor are received in the Collection Account prior to 2:00 p.m. New York City time. Payments received after 2:00 p.m. New York City time on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day.

1.8Loan Account and Accounting.

The Administrative Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books to record the Loan, all payments made by the Borrowers with respect to such Loan, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with respect to such Loan or any other Obligations with respect to such Loan. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded on the Administrative Agent’s most recent printout or other written statement, shall, absent manifest error, be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrowers; provided, that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect the Borrowers’ duty to pay the Obligations with respect to the Loan. The Administrative Agent shall render to the Borrower Agent a monthly accounting of transactions with respect to each Loan setting forth the balance of the Loan Account for the immediately preceding month. Each Lender may rely on the Loan Account as evidence of the amount of Obligations with respect to the Loan from time to time owing to it. Unless the Borrowers notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any objection to any such accounting (specifically describing the basis for such objection), within thirty (30) days after the date thereof, each and every such accounting shall be presumptive evidence of all matters reflected therein. Only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by the Borrowers.

1.9Indemnity.

Each Borrower shall, commencing on the Closing Date, jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each of the Administrative Agent, Lenders and their respective Affiliates, and each such Person’s respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents and representatives (each, an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the administration of such credit, and in connection with or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder and any actions or failures to act in connection therewith, including any and all Environmental Liabilities and legal costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with disputes between or among any parties to any of the Loan Documents, and associated with Electronic Transmissions or E-Systems as well as failures caused by the Borrowers’ equipment, software, services or otherwise used in connection therewith (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that no such Borrower shall be liable for any indemnification to an Indemnified Person to the extent that any such suit, action, proceeding, claim, damage, loss, liability or expense results from that Indemnified Person’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OF SUCH PERSON OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

1.10Access.

Each Borrower shall, during normal business hours, from time to time upon two (2) Business Days prior notice to the Borrower Agent as frequently as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be appropriate at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense: (i) provide the Administrative Agent and any of its officers, employees and agents access to its officers and employees, and with prior notice and the opportunity to be present, advisors of each Borrower, (ii) permit the Administrative Agent, and any of its officers, employees and agents, to inspect, audit and make extracts from any Borrower’s Books and Records (subject to requirements under any confidentiality agreements, if applicable) and (iii) permit the Administrative Agent, and any of its officers, employees and agents, to have access to properties, facilities and to the Collateral and to inspect, audit, review, evaluate, conduct field examinations and make test verifications and counts of the Accounts, Inventory and other Collateral of any Borrower; provided, that (x) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such access and inspections referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) above shall not be permitted more frequently than twice in any Fiscal Year and (y) during the existence of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have all rights of access described above at any time and without having to give any notice to any Person. The Borrowers shall make available to the Administrative Agent and its counsel reasonably promptly originals or copies of all Books and Records (subject to requirements under any confidentiality agreements, if applicable) of any Borrower that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Borrowers shall deliver any document or instrument necessary for the Administrative Agent, as it may from time to time request, to obtain records from any service bureau or other Person that maintains records for any Borrower and shall maintain supporting documentation on media, including computer tapes and discs owned by the Borrowers.

1.11Taxes.

 (a)Any and all payments by the Borrowers hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with this Section 1.11, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes. If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under the Notes, (i) unless such Taxes are imposed as the result of a determination that an applicable Certificate of Exemption (as defined in Section 1.11(c)) did not entitle a Foreign Person (as defined in Section 1.11(c)) to an exemption from such Taxes at the time such Foreign Person became a Lender hereunder, the sum payable shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 1.11) the Administrative Agent or Lenders, as applicable, receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable law. As promptly as reasonably practicable after any such payment of Taxes, the Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

 (b)The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and, within ten (10) days of demand therefor, pay the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as appropriate, with respect to payments received from any Borrower hereunder and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted unless such Taxes are imposed as the result of a determination that establishes that an applicable Certificate of Exemption did not in fact entitle a Foreign Person to an exemption from such Taxes at the time such Foreign Person became a Lender hereunder.

 (c)Each Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a “Foreign Person”) as to which payments to be made under this Agreement or under the Notes are completely exempt from United States withholding tax under an applicable statute or tax treaty shall provide to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS or the United States certifying as to such Foreign Person’s entitlement to such complete exemption (a “Certificate of Exemption”). Any Foreign Person that seeks to become a Lender under this Agreement shall provide a Certificate of Exemption to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent prior to becoming a Lender hereunder. No Foreign Person may become a Lender hereunder if such Foreign Person fails to deliver a Certificate of Exemption in advance of becoming a Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any Sale described in Section 11.1(a) to a Foreign Person shall only become effective upon delivery by the party to whom such Sale is made to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent of a Certificate of Exemption, and (ii) any participant or SPV described in Section 11.1(e) shall not be entitled to any benefit under Section 1.11 unless such participant or SPV delivers to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent a Certificate of Exemption. In addition, any Lender that is not a Foreign Person and that is a partnership or trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall not be entitled to any payment by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 1.11(b) with respect to any Taxes paid by such Lender with respect to any Foreign Person that is a partner or owner of an interest in such Lender unless such Lender had obtained a Certificate of Exemption from such Foreign Person at the later of the times (i) such Lender became a Lender hereunder and (ii) such Foreign Person became a partner or owner of an interest in such Lender.

 (d)Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as reasonably practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstance that would result in any additional payment by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 1.11(a) or (b), such Lender shall, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies of general application, use reasonable commercial efforts to mitigate any Taxes that would result in such payments by the Borrowers. If the Borrowers are required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 1.11, then such Lender (other than an Initial Lender), at the request of the Borrowers and at the Borrowers’ expense, will change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, is not otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender, provided, that the mere existence of fees, charges, costs or expenses that the Borrowers have offered and agreed to pay on behalf of a Lender shall not be deemed to be disadvantageous to such Lender.

1.12Capital Adequacy; Increased Costs; Illegality.

 (a)If any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law), in each case, adopted after the Closing Date, from any central bank or other Governmental Authority increases or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital, reserves or other funds required to be maintained by such Lender and thereby reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, then the Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender to the Borrower Agent (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent) pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to the amount of that reduction and showing the basis of the computation thereof submitted by such Lender to the Borrower Agent and to the Administrative Agent shall be presumptive evidence of the matters set forth therein.

 (b)If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) other than in respect of taxes (including income taxes) or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other non-tax Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case occurring after the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan, then the Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender to the Borrower Agent (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower Agent and to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be presumptive evidence of the matters set forth therein. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstances referred to above which would result in any such increased cost, the affected Lender shall, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies of general application, use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 1.12(b).

 (c)Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period, provided, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 1.12 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower Agent of the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

None of the proceeds of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board.

3.11Taxes.

 (a)Except as provided on Disclosure Schedule 3.11, all material federal, state, local, foreign and other tax returns, reports and statements, including information returns, required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by any Borrower have been filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority, all such returns, reports and statements are true and correct in all material respects and, subject to the automatic stay or their status as pre-petition claims, all Charges shown to be due and payable on such returns, reports and statements have been or will be timely paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or late charge may be added thereto for nonpayment thereof, excluding Charges or other amounts being contested in accordance with Section 5.2(b).

Copies of all such listed Plans, together with a copy of the latest form IRS/DOL 5500-series for each such Plan have been made available to the Administrative Agent. Except with respect to Multiemployer Plans, each Qualified Plan has been determined by the IRS to qualify under Section 401 of the IRC, the trusts created thereunder have been determined to be exempt from tax under the provisions of Section 501 of the IRC and to the knowledge of any Borrower, nothing has occurred that would cause the loss of such qualification or tax-exempt status. Except for noncompliance to the extent permitted under the Bankruptcy Code, each Plan is in compliance in all material respects both with its terms and with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the IRC. Each Borrower and all ERISA Affiliates have made all contributions and paid all amounts due as required under the terms of the Plan or by either Section 412, 430, 431 or 432 of the IRC or Section 302, 303, 304 or 305 of ERISA prior to the date of commencement of the Cases.

 (a)Subject to each Borrower’s rights and duties under the Bankruptcy Code (including section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code), it is expressly agreed by each Borrower that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each such Borrower shall remain liable under each of its Contracts and each of its Licenses to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, unless such Borrower determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such Contract or License is no longer valuable to such Borrower’s business, economically or otherwise. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation or liability under any Contract or License by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any payment relating to any Contract or License pursuant hereto. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Borrower under or pursuant to any Contract or License, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Contract or License, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

 (b)Subject to Section 10.5 hereof, the Administrative Agent authorizes each Borrower to collect its Accounts, provided that such collection is performed in accordance with such Borrower’s customary procedures, and the Administrative Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default and without notice, other than any requirement of notice provided in the Final DIP Order, limit or terminate said authority at any time.

 (c)Subject to any requirement of notice provided in the Final DIP Order, the Administrative Agent may at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing without prior notice to any Borrower, notify Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on the Collateral that Administrative Agent has a security interest therein, and that payments shall be made directly to Administrative Agent. Subject to any requirement of notice provided in the Final DIP Order, upon the reasonable request of Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall so notify Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral. Once any such notice has been given to any Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral, the affected Borrower shall not give any contrary instructions to such Account Debtor or other Person without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent. Subject to any requirement of notice provided in the Final DIP Order, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may in its own name, or in the name of others, communicate with such parties to such Accounts, Contracts, Instruments, Investment Property and Chattel Paper to verify with such Persons to the Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any such Accounts, Contracts, Instruments, Investment Property or Chattel Paper.

 (d)Subject to any requirement of notice provided in the Final DIP Order, the Administrative Agent may at any time in the Administrative Agent’s own name, in the name of a nominee of the Administrative Agent or in the name of any Borrower communicate (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with Account Debtors to verify with such Persons, to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction, the existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts and/or payment intangibles comprising Collateral; provided that unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall not do any of the foregoing except during normal business hours and after giving the Borrower Agent reasonable prior notice and the affected Borrower opportunity to be present. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Borrower, at its own expense, shall cause the independent certified public accountants then engaged by such Borrower to prepare and deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender at any time and from time to time promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s written request the following reports with respect to each Borrower: (i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a test verification of such Accounts as the Administrative Agent may request. The Administrative Agent may at any time in its own name, in the name of a nominee of the Administrative Agent or in the name of any Borrower communicate (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with parties to Contracts and obligors in respect of Instruments to verify with such Persons, to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction, the existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Instruments, Chattel Paper and/or payment intangibles comprising Collateral; provided that unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall not do any of the foregoing except during normal business hours and after giving the Borrower Agent reasonable prior notice and the affected Borrower opportunity to be present. Each Borrower, at its own expense, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the results of each physical verification, if any, which such Borrower may in its discretion have made, or caused any other Person to have made on its behalf, of all or any portion of its Inventory.

10.4Covenants of the Borrowers with Respect to Collateral.

Each Borrower covenants and agrees with Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, that from and after the date of this Agreement and until the Termination Date:

 (a)Maintenance of Records. The Borrowers shall keep and maintain, at their own cost and expense, satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral, including a record of any and all payments received and any and all credits granted with respect to the Collateral and all other dealings with the Collateral, in each case in a manner consistent with past practice. Upon request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall mark their books and records pertaining to the Collateral to evidence this Agreement and the Liens granted hereby. If any Borrower retains possession of any Chattel Paper or Instruments with the Administrative Agent’s consent, such Chattel Paper and Instruments shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent, be marked with the following legend: “This writing and the obligations evidenced or secured hereby are subject to the security interest of Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, National Association, as the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders.”

 (b)Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.

  (i)The Borrowers shall notify Administrative Agent promptly if any Borrower knows or has reason to know that any application or registration relating to any material Patent, Trademark or Copyright (now or hereafter existing) may become abandoned or dedicated, or of any adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court) regarding any Borrower’s ownership of any material Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.

  (ii)Promptly after any Borrower, either itself or through the Administrative Agent, employee, licensee or designee, files an application for the registration of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, the Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent written notice of such filing and, upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Borrower shall execute and deliver any and all Patent Security Agreements, Copyright Security Agreements or Trademark Security Agreements as Administrative Agent may request to evidence Administrative Agent’s Lien on such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and the General Intangibles of such Borrower relating thereto or represented thereby.

  (iii)The Borrowers shall take all actions necessary or requested by the Administrative Agent to maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the registration of each of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (now or hereafter existing), including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of noncontestability and opposition and interference and cancellation proceedings unless such Borrower reasonably determines that such Patent, Trademark or Copyright Collateral is in no way material to the conduct of its business or operations.

  (iv)In the event that any of the Patent, Trademark or Copyright Collateral is infringed upon, or misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Borrower shall comply with Section 10.2(a)(viii) of this Agreement. Such Borrower shall, unless such Borrower reasonably determines that such Patent, Trademark or Copyright Collateral is in no way material to the conduct of its business or operations, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and shall take such other actions as Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Patent, Trademark or Copyright Collateral.

 (c)Further Identification of Collateral. In addition to any other requirements herein, the Borrowers will, if so requested by the Administrative Agent, furnish to the Administrative Agent, as often as the Administrative Agent reasonably requests, statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in such detail as the Administrative Agent may specify.

 (d)Notices. The Borrowers will advise the Administrative Agent promptly, in reasonable detail of any Lien or claim made or asserted against any of the Collateral other than in respect of Permitted Liens.

 (e)Terminations; Amendments Not Authorized. Except to the extent permitted by Section 10.4(f), each Borrower acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement relating to the Collateral and filed pursuant to the terms hereof without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, subject to such Borrower’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Code.

 (f)Authorized Terminations and Subordinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly deliver to the Borrower Agent for filing or authorize each Borrower to prepare and file termination statements and releases in respect of any sales, transfers, conveyances, assignments or other dispositions of Collateral made in accordance with Section 6.8 of this Agreement.

 (g)[Reserved].

 (h)Pledged Collateral.

  (i)All certificates and all promissory notes and instruments evidencing the Pledged Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, for itself and the benefit of the Lenders, pursuant hereto. All Pledged Shares shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and all promissory notes or other instruments evidencing the Pledged Indebtedness shall be endorsed by the applicable Borrower;

  (ii)Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no Borrower will sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber any of its rights in or to the Pledged Collateral, or any unpaid dividends, interest or other distributions or payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral or grant a Lien in the Pledged Collateral, unless otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement;

  (iii)Each Borrower will, at its expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments and take all such actions as the Administrative Agent from time to time may reasonably request in order to ensure to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders obtain the benefits of the Liens in and to the Pledged Collateral intended to be created by this Agreement, including the filing of any necessary Code financing statements, which may be filed by the Administrative Agent with or (to the extent permitted by law) without the signature of the relevant Borrower, and will cooperate with the Administrative Agent, at such Borrower’s expense, in obtaining all necessary approvals and making all necessary filings under federal, state, local or foreign law in connection with such Liens or any sale or transfer of the Pledged Collateral;

  (iv)Each Borrower has and will defend the title to the Pledged Collateral and the Liens of the Administrative Agent in the Pledged Collateral against the claim of any Person (other than the holder of a Permitted Lien) and will maintain and preserve such Liens (it being understood that nothing in this clause (iv) will prevent such Borrower from disposing of Pledged Collateral as otherwise permitted by Section 6.8); and

  (v)Each Borrower will, upon obtaining ownership of any additional Stock of a Pledged Entity or promissory notes or instruments representing Pledged Indebtedness or Stock or promissory notes or instruments otherwise required to be pledged to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, which Stock, notes or instruments are not already Pledged Collateral, promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) deliver to the Administrative Agent a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by such Borrower, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Pledge Amendment”) in respect of any such additional Stock, notes or instruments, pursuant to which such Borrower shall pledge to the Administrative Agent all of such additional Stock, notes and instruments; provided that such Borrower shall be required to do the foregoing with respect to any such promissory note or instrument only if requested to do so by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(ii) of this Agreement. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all Pledged Shares and Pledged Indebtedness listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to the Administrative Agent shall for all purposes hereunder be considered Pledged Collateral.

10.5Performance by Administrative Agent of the Borrowers’ Obligations.

If any Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and the Administrative Agent, as provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the rate then in effect in respect of the Loan, shall be payable by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent on demand and shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral. Performance of such Borrower’s obligations as permitted under this Section 10.5 shall in no way constitute a violation of the automatic stay provided by section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and each Borrower hereby waives applicability thereof. Moreover, the Administrative Agent shall in no way be responsible for the payment of any costs incurred in connection with preserving or disposing of Collateral pursuant to section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and the Collateral may not be charged for the incurrence of any such cost. Each Borrower, on behalf of itself and it bankruptcy estate, hereby waives any right it may have to surcharge any of the Collateral for any purpose whatsoever pursuant to section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

10.6Limitation on the Administrative Agent’s duty in Respect of Collateral.

The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

10.7Remedies; Rights Upon Default.

 (a)In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under the other Loan Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Secured Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower expressly agrees that in any such event the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice required by the Final DIP Order or the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon such Borrower or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law), may, to the maximum extent permitted by law, forthwith enter upon the premises of such Borrower where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Borrower or any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on the Administrative Agent’s claim or action and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Lenders, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Borrower hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Borrower’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Borrower’s premises without charge for such time or times as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable. EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS THE PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF SUCH BORROWER WITH RESPECT TO THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE TERMINATION DATE. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY PLEDGED SHARES ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, (X) THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL NOT HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY SUCH RIGHT OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO AND (Y) THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL NOT EXERCISE ANY SUCH RIGHT WITH RESPECT TO ANY REGULATED SUBSIDIARY UNLESS ANY AND ALL REGULATORY APPROVALS REQUIRED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW SHALL HAVE BEEN OBTAINED.

 (b)If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Borrower further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place or places designated by the Administrative Agent, whether at such Borrower’s premises or elsewhere. Until the Administrative Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to any Borrower to maintain or preserve the rights of such Borrower as against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Administrative Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Lenders), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. The Administrative Agent shall deposit the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to a Blocked Account and such net proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.3. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Borrower agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by Administrative Agent of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters (it being understood and agreed that, except any notice required by the Final DIP Order, no such notice need be given if with respect to portions of the Collateral that are perishable or threaten to decline speedily in value or is of a type that is customarily sold in a recognized market). The Borrowers shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Secured Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

 (c)Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

 (d)To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Administrative Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Borrowers, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Borrower acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 10.7(d) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 10.7(d). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 10.7(d) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Borrower or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 10.7(d).

 (e)Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Borrower, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefore or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Borrower absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise.

 (f)Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon, to sell in one or more sales after ten (10) days notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time at which a private sale is to take place (which notice the Borrowers agree is commercially reasonable) the whole or any part of the Collateral (it being understood and agreed that, except any notice required by the Final DIP Order, no such notice need be given with respect to any portions of the Collateral that are perishable or threaten to decline speedily in value or is of a type that is customarily sold in a recognized market) and to otherwise act with respect to the Collateral as though the Administrative Agent was the outright owner thereof. Any sale shall be made at a public or private sale at the Administrative Agent’s place of business, or at any place to be named in the notice of sale, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery at such price as the Administrative Agent may deem fair, and the Administrative Agent may be the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of such Borrower or any right of redemption. Each sale shall be made to the highest bidder, but the Administrative Agent reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sale which, in its discretion, it shall deem inadequate. Demands of performance, except as otherwise herein specifically provided for, notices of sale, advertisements and the presence of property at sale are hereby waived and any sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of the Administrative Agent.

 (g)If, at the original time or times appointed for the sale of the whole or any part of the Collateral, the highest bid, if there be but one sale, shall be inadequate to discharge in full all the Secured Obligations, or if the Collateral has been offered for sale in lots, and if at any of such sales, the highest bid for the lot offered for sale would indicate to the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, that the proceeds of the sales of the whole of the Collateral would be unlikely to be sufficient to discharge all the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent may, on one or more occasions and in its sole discretion, postpone effectuating any of said sales by public announcement at the time of sale or the time of previous postponement of sale, and no other notice of such postponement or postponements of sale need be given, any other notice being hereby waived; provided, however, that any sale or sales made after such postponement shall be after ten (10) days notice to the Borrower Agent.

 (h)If, at any time when the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion determines, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, that, in connection with any actual or contemplated exercise of its rights (when permitted under this Section 10.7(h)) to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral hereunder, it is necessary or advisable to effect a public registration of all or part of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any similar statute then in effect) (the “Act”), such Borrower shall, in an expeditious manner, cause the Pledged Entities to:

 (i)Prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement with respect to the Pledged Shares and in good faith use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective;

  (ii)Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of the Pledged Shares covered by such registration statement whenever the Administrative Agent shall desire to sell or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Shares;

  (iii)Furnish to the Administrative Agent such numbers of copies of a prospectus and a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as the Administrative Agent may request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Shares by the Administrative Agent;

  (iv)Use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Pledged Shares covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States and Puerto Rico as the Administrative Agent shall request, and do such other reasonable acts and things as may be required of it to enable the Administrative Agent to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdictions of the Pledged Shares by the Administrative Agent;

  (v)Furnish, at the request of the Administrative Agent, on the date that shares of the Pledged Collateral are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration or, if the security is not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such Pledged Shares becomes effective, (A) an opinion, dated such date, of the independent counsel representing such registrant for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and in the event the Pledged Shares are not being sold through underwriters, then to the Administrative Agent, in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in such legal opinions; and (B) a comfort letter, dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of such registrant, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and in the event the Pledged Shares are not being sold through underwriters, then to the Administrative Agent, in a customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered by such comfort letters and as the underwriters or the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. The opinion of counsel referred to above shall additionally cover such other legal matters with respect to the registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The letter referred to above from the independent certified public accountants shall additionally cover such other financial matters (including information as to the period ending not more than five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such letter) with respect to the registration in respect of which such letter is being given as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; and

  (vi)Otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable but not later than eighteen (18) months after the effective date of the registration statement, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first full month after the effective date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act.

  (i)All expenses incurred in complying with Section 10.7(h) hereof, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees (including all expenses incident to filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.), printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the registrant, the fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent, expenses of the independent certified public accountants (including any special audits incident to or required by any such registration) and expenses of complying with the securities or blue sky laws or any jurisdictions, shall be paid by the Borrowers.

 (j)If, at any time when the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral hereunder, such Pledged Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Act, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Pledged Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 10.7, and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to be effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event, the Administrative Agent in its discretion (x) may, in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under said Act (or similar statute), (y) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (z) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who is an accredited investor under the Act and who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Collateral or any part thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 10.7, if any of the Pledged Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Act (or similar statute) at the time of any proposed sale pursuant to this Section 10.7, then the Administrative Agent shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), may require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to restrictions:

  (i)as to the financial sophistication and ability of any Person permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale;

  (ii)as to the content of legends to be placed upon any certificates representing the Pledged Collateral sold in such sale, including restrictions on future transfer thereof;

  (iii)as to the representations required to be made by each Person bidding or purchasing at such sale relating to that Person’s access to financial information about such Borrower and such Person’s intentions as to the holding of the Pledged Collateral so sold for investment for its own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and

  (iv)as to such other matters as the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.

 (k)Each Borrower recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof. Each Borrower also acknowledges that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledged Entity to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Borrower and the Pledged Entity would agree to do so.

 (l)Each Borrower agrees to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law that following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default it will not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and each Borrower waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent it lawfully may do so. Each Borrower agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Administrative Agent provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent to exercise any such right, power or remedy and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent with respect to any such remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Administrative Agent’s right to take any action or to exercise any power or remedy hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice its rights as against any Borrower in any respect.

 (m)Each Borrower further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 10.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent, that the Administrative Agent shall have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 10.7 shall be specifically enforceable against the Borrowers, and each Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that the Secured Obligations are not then due and payable in accordance with the agreements and instruments governing and evidencing such Obligations.

 (n)To the extent that any rights and remedies under this Section 10.7 would otherwise be in violation of the automatic stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, such stay shall be deemed modified, as set forth in the Final DIP Order, as applicable, to the extent necessary to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise such rights and remedies.

10.8The Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

Each Borrower irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of such Borrower, any Lender or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of the Lenders, but at the Borrowers’ expense, to the extent permitted by law to exercise, at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of the Collateral: (a) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof, (b) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto, (c) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the same or the proceeds or avails thereof, as fully and effectually as if the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof, and (d) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance or other adjustment with reference thereto.

10.9Release of Collateral.

 (a)The Liens granted pursuant to this Agreement shall automatically terminate, and all the Collateral shall be automatically released, without further action by the Administrative Agent and without any further notice or consent to or of any Lender, on the Termination Date.

 (b)Immediately upon (i) any sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment or other disposition by any Borrower of any Collateral permitted by this Agreement (or pursuant to a valid waiver or consent to any transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement), (ii) any Pledged Collateral being cancelled, replaced or repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Collateral shall be automatically released from the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement and the Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders, shall automatically terminate (and, if such Collateral consists of all of the equity interests in Lynx sold pursuant to Section 6.8(m), Lynx shall be released from its Guaranty) in each case without further action by the Administrative Agent and without any further notice or consent to or of any Lender.

 (c)At the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall, and each of the Secured Parties hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent (without any further notice or consent to or of any Secured Party) to, subordinate, as reasonably requested by the holders of any Lien granted after the Closing Date and permitted by Section 6.7(c) and any Permitted Refinancing thereof, any part of the Collateral that is subject to such Lien.

 (d)At the request of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall, and each of the Lenders hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent (without further notice or consent to or of any Lender) to, execute and deliver or file such termination or partial release statements and take such other actions (including return of Collateral) as are necessary to terminate, release or subordinate Liens pursuant to this Section 10.9 promptly upon the effectiveness of any such termination, release or subordination. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledges and agree that the Borrowers may use the Collateral to the extent permitted under this Agreement.

11.ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATIONS; APPOINTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

11.1Assignment and Participations.

 (a)Right to Assign. Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to Loans) to any other Person with the prior written consent of the Borrower Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that the Borrower Agent’s refusal to so consent shall be deemed reasonable if any Lender seeks to sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder to any Person, other than a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, that is an air carrier or an affiliate of an air carrier; provided, further, that the Borrower Agent’s consent shall not be required if (i) the proposed assignee is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  The aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Loans and Commitments subject to any such Sale shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in such Loan or is made with the prior consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

 (b)Procedure. The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (a) above (other than those described in clause (e) below) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (which shall keep a copy thereof) an Assignment, together with any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to the Administrative Agent), any Certificates of Exemption required to be delivered pursuant to Section 1.11 (which shall also be delivered to the Borrower Agent) and payment by the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500. Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and upon the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, the Administrative Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Loan Account the information contained in such Assignment.

 (c)Effectiveness. Effective upon the entry of such record in the Loan Account, (i) such assignee shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment, and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto.

 (d)Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.1, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to the Administrative Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Securities by notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.

 (e)Participants and SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.1, each Lender may, (x) with notice to the Administrative Agent, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents; provided, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Borrowers towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that (A) each such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Section 1.9, Section 1.11 and Section 1.12, but, in the case of Section 1.11, only to the extent the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent receive a Certificate of Exemption with respect to any such participant or SPV that is a Foreign Person and in each such case only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation and (B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to the Administrative Agent by such SPV and such Lender; provided, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above) shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (iii) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (iii)(B) and (iii)(C) of Section 13.2(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled and, in the case of participants, except for those described in Section 13.2(a)(vii) (or amendments, consents and waivers with respect to Section 10.9 to release all or substantially all of the Collateral). No party hereto shall institute against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (d) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnified Person as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability). The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations.

13.3Fees and Expenses.
