----------------------------------------------------------
The Borrower represents and warrants (with respect to Sections
3.01 through 3.06 hereof), and covenants (with respect to Sections 3.07
through 3.21 hereof) to the Secured Party as follows:
Section 3.01. Existence; Authorization. It is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Georgia

40102(a)(15) of the Transportation Act. The execution, delivery and

Financing Document, any law or any contractual restriction binding upon
Borrower and (ii) do not and will not result in or require the creation of
any lien, security interest or other encumbrance upon or with respect to
any of its properties, other than in favor of the Secured Party. The
Borrower has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business and
perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing
Documents to which it is a party and it has duly authorized by all
requisite action the execution, delivery and performance of each of the
Financing Documents to which it is a party. The Borrower is not a party to
any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction materially
adversely affecting its business, operations, property, assets or
condition, financial or otherwise or its ability to perform its obligations
under this Agreement, any of the other Financing Documents or any agreement
or instrument thereunder to which it is a party and is not in default in
the performance, observance or fulfillment of the material obligations,
covenants, or agreements contained in any agreement or instrument to which
it is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets are bound.
When executed and delivered, this Agreement and each of the Financing
Documents to which it is a party will constitute its valid, legal, binding
and enforceable obligation except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar
laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
Section 3.02. No Adverse Pending Actions. There are no actions,
suits or proceedings pending, or to its knowledge, threatened against or
affecting it by any governmental department, board, agency or
instrumentality or before any arbitrator which, if adversely determined,
would have a material adverse effect on its business or assets or would
materially impair its abilities to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents to which it is a party.
The Borrower is not in default under any applicable order, writ, injunction
or decree of any court, governmental department, board, agency, or
instrumentality or of any arbitrator and no Event of Default, or event
which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would
constitute an Event of Default, under any Financing Document has occurred
and is continuing.
Section 3.03. Government Authorizations. The Borrower has
obtained in respect of this Agreement and each of the other Financing
Documents to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, on or prior to the date hereof all governmental permissions,
rights, licenses and permits to carry out the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby. The Borrower has not received notice and has no
knowledge of any violation of any applicable Law, regulation, order or
requirement which would have a material adverse effect on its business or
on the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents, and which has
not been complied with or corrected in all material respects. True and
complete copies of all such governmental permissions, rights, licenses and
permits which have been obtained have been supplied to the Secured Party by
it.
Section 3.04. Taxes. The Borrower has filed or caused to be filed
(or has obtained a valid extension of time to file) all tax returns, if
any, required by any Federal, state or local government or other taxing
authority in the United States of America or by any foreign government or
other taxing authority, which it is required to file and has paid or caused
to be paid all taxes as shown on such returns or on any assessment received
by it to the extent that such taxes have become due (or is contesting such
taxes in good faith by appropriate procedures and has established adequate
reserves for the payment thereof). It has established reserves adequate for
the payment of additional taxes for years which have not been audited by
the respective tax authorities.
Section 3.05. Interest in Note. Neither the Borrower nor anyone
acting on its behalf has directly or indirectly offered an interest in any
Note for sale to, or solicited any offer to acquire the same from, any
Person which offer or solicitation would subject the same to registration
under the Securities Act, and neither the Borrower nor anyone acting on its
behalf will take any action which would subject any interest in any Note to
registration under the Securities Act.
Section 3.06. Collateral Documents. The provisions of the
Financing Documents are effective to create in favor of the Secured Party a
legal, valid and enforceable lien on and security interest in the
Collateral, and when the filings and recordations required by the terms
hereof have been duly effected, the Financing Documents will constitute a
fully perfected security interest in the Collateral, superior in right to
all other Liens, existing or future (except such other Liens as are
permitted under this Agreement).
Section 3.07. Registration and Insignia. The Borrower shall prior
to or concurrently with the mortgaging of the Aircraft hereunder cause, the
Airframe to be duly registered, and at all times thereafter to remain duly
registered, in the name of the Borrower. The Borrower shall not remove, or
cause or permit the removal of, any plate, disc or other similar device
affixed to the Airframe or any Engine indicating the Secured Party's
security interest therein. The Borrower shall not allow the name of any
other person, association or corporation other than the Lessee to be placed
on the Airframe or any Engine as a designation that might be interpreted as
a claim of ownership or of any interest therein; provided, however, that
the Borrower may cause the Airframe to be lettered or otherwise marked in
an appropriate manner for convenience of identification of the interest of
the Borrower therein.
Section 3.08. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower shall neither
use the Collateral, nor permit the Collateral to be used, for any unlawful
purpose or contrary to any statute, law, ordinance or regulation relating
to the registration, use, operation or control of the Collateral. The
Borrower shall comply with, or cause to be complied with, at all times and
in all material respects, all statutes, laws, ordinances and regulations of
the United States (including, without limitation, the FAA), and of all
other governmental, regulatory, or judicial bodies applicable to the use,
operation, maintenance, overhauling, or condition of the Collateral;
provided, that the Borrower shall have the right to contest any of the
foregoing with the appropriate authorities so long as such contest does not
place the Collateral in danger of sale, forfeiture or loss or otherwise
adversely affect the Secured Party's security interest.
Section 3.09. Maintenance and Repair. The Borrower shall cause
the Aircraft to be serviced, repaired, overhauled, tested and maintained in
compliance with all applicable FAA regulations, (i) by personnel in
accordance with FAA requirements, (ii) in accordance with the Maintenance
Program and the operations and maintenance manuals of the manufacturers
thereof (including, without limitation, an FAA approved or manufacturer's
recommended program for the prevention and treatment of corrosion), (iii)
so as to keep the Aircraft in as good operating condition and appearance as
when first manufactured, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and (iv) so as to
keep the Aircraft in such operating condition as shall be necessary to
cause the airworthiness certificate of the Aircraft to be maintained in
good standing at all times under the applicable rules and regulations of
the Aviation Authority.
Section 3.10. Insurance. The Borrower shall at all times, at its
own cost and expense, maintain, or cause to be maintained, a policy of
insurance with respect to the Collateral, in accordance with the following
provisions:
(a) The Borrower shall maintain in effect comprehensive third
party aircraft liability insurance against bodily injury and property
damage losses arising from ground, flight and taxiing exposures, including,
but not limited to, passenger legal liability, cargo liability, contractual
liability and products liability insurance, in an amount not less than
$50,000,000 for any one accident, or series of accidents arising out of any
one event, with respect to the Aircraft. Such policy shall include war and
allied risks in accordance with standard market practice (currently "The
Extended Coverage Endorsement-AVN 52C"). Any such liability insurance
policy may be subject to a deductible in an amount not to exceed $100,000
per occurrence. All such policies shall be maintained in effect with
insurers and/or reinsurers of recognized reputation and responsibility,
reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party. To the extent commercially
available, coverages shall not contain a Year 2000, GPS or other date
recognition exclusion.
(b) The Borrower shall maintain in effect with insurers and/or
reinsurers of recognized reputation and responsibility reasonably
satisfactory to the Secured Party: (A) all-risk ground and flight aircraft
hull insurance covering the Aircraft (including taxiing exposures) with an
agreed value loss valuation clause; (B) all-risk coverage with respect to
any Engines, parts or landing gear while removed from the Aircraft insured
on a replacement cost basis; and (C) war risk and hijacking (including
political/non-political hijacking and acts of terrorism) coverage,
including, but not limited to, coverage against confiscation,
expropriations, nationalization or seizure, including the country of
registry (if other than the United States). All such insurance shall be in
full force and effect throughout any geographical areas at any time
traversed by the Aircraft, shall be payable in Dollars in the United States
and shall be in the amount of not less than the Insured Value from time to
time in effect. Any hull insurance carried in accordance with this Section
3.10 shall not contain any provision for self-insured amounts or a
deductible, provided that such insurance may be subject to a deductible
which does not exceed $100,000 per occurrence. Each Engine, after removal,
shall be insured for not less than $2,500,000 under a ground risks policy
reasonably acceptable to the Secured Party.
(c) The Borrower will name or cause to be named each Indemnitee
as an additional insured on all policies of insurance and the Secured Party
as sole loss payee, to the extent their interests may apply, to the
Aircraft with respect to the aircraft hull insurance coverage; provided,
that in respect of partial losses to the Aircraft, so long as the insurers
have not received written notice that an Event of Default, or an event
which with time or notice or both would become an Event of Default has
occurred, the amounts that are equal to or less than $1,000,000.00 shall be
payable to the Borrower. Loss with respect to the Aircraft in excess of
$1,000,000.00 shall be payable to Secured Party in an amount not to exceed
the then outstanding Obligations with respect to the Aircraft. The Borrower
shall cause all parties who may have an interest in the proceeds of such
policies to acknowledge, in writing, that the Secured Party has a prior
interest in such proceeds. Each and every such policy under this Section
3.10 shall (i) provide that in respect of the interests of the Secured
Party and the other Indemnities in such policies, such insurance shall not
be invalidated by any action or inaction of the Borrower, the Secured Party
or any Indemnitee or any other Person and shall insure the Secured Party
and the other Indemnities regardless of any breach or violation of any
warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by the
Borrower or any Indemnitee or any other Person; (ii) provide that, if such
insurance is canceled for any reason whatever, or any material change is
made in policy terms or conditions, or if such insurance is allowed to
lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall
not be effective as to any Indemnitee for thirty (30) days and in the case
of any war risk or allied perils coverage, seven (7) days after receipt by
them of written notice from such insurers or their authorized
representatives of such cancellation, change or lapse; (iii) provide that
such insurers shall hold harmless and waive any rights of subrogation
against each Indemnitee; (iv) be primary without right of contribution from
any other insurance that is carried by any Indemnitee; (v) waive any rights
of set-off, counterclaim or other deduction against any Indemnitee; (vi)
provide that the Secured Party shall have no obligation or liability for
premiums, commissions, assessments, representations or warranties or calls
in connection with such insurance; (vii) provide that all the provisions
thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner
as if there were a separate policy covering each Indemnitee; and (viii) in
respect to casualty insurance shall provide that proceeds shall be paid to
the Secured Party Lender so long as this Agreement is in effect for
distribution to the parties.
(d) On or before the Closing Date and prior to the renewal or
replacement date of any insurance policy required hereunder, the Borrower
shall provide the Secured Party with written certifications by a firm of
independent insurance brokers acceptable to the Secured Party with respect
to the types, amounts and policy numbers of insurance in effect as of the
date of execution and delivery of this Agreement and certifying that in the
opinion of such firm the insurance then carried and maintained complies
with the terms of this Section 3.10. The original certificate of insurance
shall be in a form acceptable to the Secured Party.
(e) In the event that the Borrower should, for any reason, fail
to renew or cause to be renewed any such policy or contract of insurance,
the Secured Party shall have the option to pay the premiums on any such
policy or contract of insurance, or to take out new insurance in such

used in any manner or for any purpose excepted from or contrary to the

Borrower from insurance referred to in Section 3.10(b) and paid other than

the Borrower upon certification that repairs satisfactory to the Secured
Party have been completed in a workmanlike manner and in compliance with
FAA regulations and the requirements of this Agreement; provided, that so
long as no Event of Default, or event which with time or notice or both
would become an Event of Default has occurred, insurance payments which are

with respect to the Records, copying; provided, however, that the
Borrower's operations shall not be interrupted thereby.
(b) The Borrower shall keep accurate and complete logs, manuals,
books and records relating to the Collateral, and will provide the Secured
Party with copies of such reports and information relating to the
Collateral as the Secured Party may reasonably require from time to time.
(c) The Borrower shall provide such other information regarding
the Collateral as may be reasonably requested by the Secured Party from
time to time.
Section 3.12. Title; Liens.
------------
(a) The Borrower holds good and marketable title in the Equipment
subject to this Agreement.
(b) The Borrower will not suffer or permit any security interest,
lien, charge or other encumbrance to attach to or exist relative to the
Collateral, except for Permitted Liens and the lien of this Agreement,
whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and whether by issuance of judicial
process, levy or otherwise, until all of the Obligations have been
completely discharged. The Borrower shall at its own cost and expense
promptly take such action as may be necessary to discharge duly all Liens
on the Aircraft, the Engines or any Parts thereof (i) resulting from claims
against the Borrower or (ii) created, granted or assumed by the Borrower
(other than any Lien created or permitted by the Financing Documents).
(c) The Borrower shall not directly or indirectly assign, convey
or otherwise transfer any of its right, title or interest in the Collateral
without the prior written consent of the Secured Party.
Section 3.13. Notice of Default. The Borrower will promptly give
the Secured Party notice of any Event of Default or event which, after

-------------
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the
Aircraft, the Borrower shall forthwith (and in any event within two (2)
Business Days after such occurrence) give the Secured Party written notice
of such Event of Loss, and the Secured Party and the Borrower shall proceed
diligently and cooperate fully with each other in the recovery of any and
all proceeds of insurance applicable thereto. Upon the earlier of the date
(a) which is 60 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Loss or (b)
on which insurance proceeds are received with respect to such Event of
Loss, the Borrower shall pay to the Secured Party an amount required to pay
in full any outstanding Obligations secured by this Agreement, including,
without limitation, interest at the Interest Rate, which shall continue to
accrue with respect to the Note until the date on which such payment is
received by the Secured Party. At such time as the Secured Party shall have
received all amounts necessary to satisfy the outstanding Obligations, the
Borrower's obligations hereunder shall terminate. The Borrower shall be
entitled to receive all insurance proceeds from policies maintained by the
Borrower applicable to the Aircraft over and above the Obligations, if any.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to an
Engine under circumstances in which there has not occurred an Event of Loss
with respect to the Aircraft, the Borrower shall forthwith (and in any
event within two (2) Business Days after such occurrence) give the Secured
Party written notice thereof and the Borrower shall replace such Engine as
soon as reasonably possible, by duly conveying to the Secured Party, free
and clear of all Liens, a valid security interest to another Rolls Royce
Tay Model MK-611-8 engine of the same or an improved model and suitable for
installation and use on the Airframe, which engine shall have a value and
utility at least equal to, and be in as good operating condition as, the
Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss shall have occurred (based
on but not limited to all life-limited engine components and time since
last heavy maintenance and/or time since last hot section refurbishment),
assuming such Engine was of the value and utility and in the condition and
repair as required by the terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence
of such Event of Loss. Such replacement engine shall be deemed an "Engine"
as defined herein for all purposes hereunder. The Borrower agrees to take
such action and execute and deliver such documents, including, but not
limited to, a supplement hereto and legal opinions, as the Secured Party
may reasonably request in order that the Secured Party shall have a valid
perfected security interest in any such replacement Engine to the same
extent as any Engine replaced thereby. The Secured Party will assign to the
Borrower all casualty insurance proceeds arising from such Event of Loss to
the Engine(s).
Section 3.15. Mergers and Consolidations. At least twenty (20)
days prior to the effective date of any merger or consolidation, Borrower
shall provide written notice of the merger or consolidation and Borrower
covenants that after any merger or consolidation, the surviving company
will have a net worth equal to or greater than the net worth of the
Borrower.

and other public or private charges when levied or assessed against the

of or interest on the Note or any amount due under the Financing Documents

shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, pay interest at the
Interest Rate plus 2% on such amount from the date when due until the date
of payment.
Section 3.19. Citizenship. The Borrower agrees that if at any
time the Borrower has ceased to be a "citizen of the United States" as
defined in Section 40102(a)(15) of the Transportation Act, the Borrower
will promptly notify the Secured Party, and if such citizenship is then
necessary to maintain the eligibility of the Aircraft for United States
registration, shall promptly convey the Aircraft to a trust or other entity
acceptable to the Secured Party which is or which shall qualify as a
"citizen of the United States" as defined above, at the direction of the
Secured Party.
Section 3.20. Possession. The Borrower will not without the
Secured Party's consent, sell, rent, lend, secrete, encumber, transfer or
otherwise dispose of the Collateral.
Section 3.21. Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify and save
Secured Party harmless from and against any and all liability, loss,
damage, expense, causes of action, suits, claims or judgments arising from
or caused directly or indirectly by (i) Borrower's failure to promptly
perform any of its obligations under the provisions of this Security
Agreement, (ii) injury to person or property resulting from or based upon
the actual or alleged use, operation, delivery or transportation of the
Aircraft or (iii) inadequacy of the Aircraft for any purpose or any
deficiency or defect therein or the use or maintenance thereof or any
repairs, servicing or adjustments thereto or any delay in providing or
failure to provide any thereof or any interruption or loss of service or
use thereof or any loss of business; and shall, at its own cost and
expense, defend any and all suits which may be brought against Secured
Party, either alone or in conjunction with others upon any such liability
or claim or claims and shall satisfy, pay and discharge any and all
judgments and fines that may be recovered against Secured Party in any such
action or actions, provided, however, that Secured Party shall give
Borrower written notice of any such claim or demand.
