Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Member shall be entitled to pledge its membership interest, including all interests, economic rights, voting rights, control rights and status rights as a member, to, and otherwise grant a lien and security interest in its membership interest and all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement in favor of, any lender to the Company or an affiliate of the Company (or an agent on behalf of such lender) without any further consents, approvals or actions required by such lender (or agent), the Member, the Company or any other person under this Agreement or otherwise. So long as any such pledge of or security interest in the Member’s membership interest is in effect, no consent of the Company or the Member shall be required to permit a pledgee thereof to be substituted for the Member under this Agreement upon the exercise of such pledgee’s rights with respect to such membership interest. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, and without complying with any other procedures set forth in this Agreement, upon the exercise of remedies in connection with a pledge or hypothecation, (a) the lender (or agent) or transferee of such lender (or agent), as the case may be, shall become a member under this Agreement and shall succeed to all of the rights and powers, including the right to participate in the management of the business and affairs of the Company, and shall be bound by all of the obligations, of a member under this Agreement without taking any further action on the part of such lender (or agent) or transferee, as the case may be, and (b) following such exercise of remedies, the pledging Member shall cease to be a member and shall have no further rights or powers under this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Member shall constitute any necessary approval of such Member under the Law to the foregoing provisions of this Article 8. So long as any pledge of the Member’s membership interest is in effect, this provision shall inure to the benefit of such pledgee and its successors, assigns and designated agents, as an intended third party beneficiary, and no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to this provision shall in any event be effective without the prior written consent of such pledgee. All of the foregoing shall be subject to the limitations and other provisions applicable to the exercise of remedies contained in each of the Collateral Agreements. For purposes of the foregoing, “Collateral Agreements” means (1) the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2006, as amended and restated as of December 6, 2010, as further amended and restated as of February 14, 2011, and as further amended and restated as of February 28, 2013 (as further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time), among TransDigm Inc., certain affiliates of TransDigm Inc. and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as collateral agent, (2) the Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2019 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among TransDigm Inc., certain affiliates of TransDigm Inc. and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as the U.S. collateral agent, (3) the Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2023 (as amended, restated,

INDEMNIFICATION


Subject to the limitations of this Article XI, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the officers, directors, managers, employees, representatives or agents of the Company, and the Member’s direct and indirect officers, directors, trustees, partners, limited partners, members, managers, limited partners, shareholders, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of (i) the business, affairs or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiary, (ii) the management of the business, affairs or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiary or any decision made (including conflict of interest decisions) with respect thereto, or (iii) such Indemnitee’s status as an officer, director, manager, employee, representative or agent of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or in any capacity in any entity serving at the request of the Company or any
4


subsidiary of the Company, in each case which relates to or arises out of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, their respective business, affairs or assets, and in each case regardless of whether such Indemnitee continues to be an officer, director, trustee, partner, member, manager, shareholder, employee or agent of the Member or any affiliate of the Member, or an officer, director, manager, employee, representative or agent of the Company or any affiliate of the Company, or serving in any capacity in any entity at the request of the Company or any affiliate of the Company at the time any such liability or expense is paid or incurred, and regardless of whether the liability or expense accrued at or relates to, in whole or in part, any time before, on or after the date hereof.

There shall be no limitations whatsoever to the indemnification of any Indemnitee including, but not limited to, conflict of interest decisions or any violation of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; provided, however, a manager, director, officer or employee of the Company or the Members shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Article XI with respect to any claim, issue or matter in which a final judgment or adjudication adverse to such manager, director, officer or employee, which is not subject to further appeal, establishes that such manager’s, director’s, officer’s or employee’s acts constituted willful or intentional misconduct or fraud.

Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by
an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, be advanced by the Company as incurred prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Article XI.

The indemnification provided under this Article XI: (i) shall be in addition to,
and not in limitation of, any other rights to which any Indemnitee may be entitled under any other agreement, contract or instrument or as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to action in such Indemnitee’s capacity as an officer, director, trustee, partner, member, shareholder, employee or agent of the Member or any affiliate of the Member, or an officer, manager, employee, representative or agent of the Company or any affiliate of the Company, and as to action in any other capacity, including, serving at the request of the Company or any of its affiliates in any capacity in any other entity, (ii) shall continue as to any Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity, and (iii) shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, administrators and personal representatives of each Indemnitee; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 13 by the Company shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and the Member (including acting as the liquidator or in any other capacity), shall not have personal liability on account thereof.

The provisions of this Article XI shall survive the transfer of interest of the Member or the dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or termination of the Company.

5


The provisions of this Article XI shall be deemed to be a vested contract right
between the Company, the Member and each officer, director, manager, trustee, equityholder, controlling person, partner, employee, representative, attorney or agent of the Company, the Member or their respective affiliates who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article XI and the relevant provisions of the Law or other applicable law are in effect. Such contract right shall vest for each such Person at the time it, he or she is elected or appointed to such position, and no repeal or modification of this Article XI or any such law shall affect any such vested rights or obligations of any current or former officer, director, manager, trustee, equityholder, controlling person, partner, employee, representative, attorney or agent of the Company or the Member, with respect to any state of facts or proceeding regardless of when occurring.
