1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Sun Country" or the "Company") is the parent company of Sun Country, Inc., which is a certificated air carrier providing scheduled passenger service, air cargo service, charter air transportation and related services.
The Company has prepared the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements according to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and has included the accounts of Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for Form 10-Q. Therefore, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC ("2022 10-K"). Management believes that all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of results, consisting of normally recurring items, have been included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the interim periods presented. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Due to impacts from seasonal variations in the demand for air travel, the volatility of aircraft fuel prices, uncertainties in pilot staffing, the impact of macroeconomic conditions including inflationary pressures, and other factors, operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2023.
2.    CORONAVIRUS AID, RELIEF, AND ECONOMIC SECURITY ACT
During the twelve months ended June 30, 2022, the compensation payable to an executive officer temporarily exceeded the restrictions on the payment of certain executive compensation under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"). Once the issue was identified, the executive officer voluntarily rescinded the unvested portion of the equity grant that caused the executive’s compensation to exceed the CARES Act limit. At no point did the executive's cash compensation and equity awards that could be monetized exceed the CARES Act limit. The Company did not accrue any amounts related to this matter as of March 31, 2023. To the extent we are deemed to have failed to remain in full compliance with the CARES Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder, we may become subject to fines or other enforcement actions.
3.    REVENUE
Sun Country is a certificated air carrier generating Operating Revenues from Scheduled service, Charter service, Ancillary, Cargo and Other revenue. Scheduled service revenue mainly consists of base fares. Charter service revenue is primarily generated through service provided to the U.S. Department of Defense, collegiate and professional sports teams, and casinos. Ancillary revenues consist of revenue earned from air travel-related services, such as: baggage fees, seat selection fees, passenger interface fees and on-board sales. Cargo consists of revenue earned from flying cargo aircraft for Amazon.com Services, Inc. (together with its affiliates, “Amazon”) under the Air Transportation Services Agreement (the “ATSA”). Other

revenue consists primarily of revenue from services in connection with Sun Country Vacations products and revenue related to certain transactions where the Company acts as a lessor. The amounts included in Other revenue are not material to the Company's results at the individual or aggregate level.
The significant categories comprising Operating Revenues are as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,
20232022
Scheduled Service$152,657 $124,068 
Charter Service46,187 32,879

Cargo23,361 21,053 
Other3,485 3,439 
Total Operating Revenues$294,115 $226,525 
The Company attributes and measures its Operating Revenues by geographic region as defined by the Department of Transportation ("DOT") for airline reporting based upon the origin of each passenger and cargo flight segment.
The Company’s operations are highly concentrated in the U.S., but include service to many international locations, primarily based on scheduled service to Latin America during the winter season and on military charter services.
Total Operating Revenues by geographic region are as follows:

Contract Balances
The Company’s contract assets primarily relate to costs incurred to get Amazon cargo aircraft ready for service. The balances are included in Other Current Assets and Other Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company’s significant contract liabilities are comprised of: 1) ticket sales for transportation that has not yet been provided (reported as Air Traffic Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets), 2) outstanding loyalty points that may be redeemed for future travel and other non-air travel awards (reported as Loyalty Program Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) and, 3) the Amazon Deferred Up-front Payment received (reported within Other Current Liabilities and Other Long-term Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

Contract Assets and Liabilities are as follows:
March 31, 2023December 31, 2022
Contract Assets
Costs to fulfill contract with Amazon$2,026 $2,195 
Total Contract Assets$2,026 $2,195

Loyalty Program Liabilities13,799 15,437 
Amazon Deferred Up-front Payment3,019 3,271 
Total Contract Liabilities$158,431 $176,703 
The balance in the Air Traffic Liabilities fluctuates with seasonal travel patterns. Most tickets can be purchased no more than twelve months in advance, therefore any revenue associated with tickets sold for future travel will be recognized within that timeframe. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, $123,574 of revenue was recognized in Passenger revenue that was included in the Air Traffic Liabilities as of December 31, 2022.
Loyalty Program
The Sun Country Rewards program provides loyalty awards to program members based on accumulated loyalty points. The Company records a liability for loyalty points earned by passengers under the Sun Country Rewards program using two methods: 1) a liability for points that are earned by passengers on purchases of the Company’s services is established by deferring revenue based on the redemption value, net of estimated loyalty points that will expire unused, or breakage; and 2) a liability for points attributed to loyalty points issued to the Company’s Visa card holders is established by deferring a portion of payments received from the Company’s co-branded agreement. The balance of the Loyalty Program Liabilities fluctuates based on seasonal patterns, which impacts the volume of loyalty points awarded through travel or issued to co-branded credit card and other partners (deferral of revenue) and loyalty points redeemed (recognition of revenue). Due to these reasons, the timing of loyalty point redemptions can vary significantly.
Changes in the Loyalty Program Liabilities are as follows:
20232022
Balance – January 1$15,437 $19,718 
Loyalty Points Earned2,294 1,819 
Loyalty Points Redeemed (1)
(3,932)(4,163)
Balance – March 31
$13,799 $17,374 
______________________
(1)Loyalty points are combined in one homogenous pool, that includes both air and non-air travel awards, and are not separately identifiable. As such, the revenue recognized is comprised of points that were part of the Loyalty Program Liabilities balance at the beginning of the period, as well as points that were earned during the period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire five 737-900ERs that are currently on lease to an unaffiliated airline ("Aircraft Held for Operating Lease"). As of March 31, 2023, three of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease had been acquired. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, the transaction was completed resulting in the acquisition of the two remaining Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. The five Aircraft Held for Operating Lease were financed through a term loan arrangement. See Note 6 of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this transaction. As of March 31, 2023, 29 of the owned aircraft and Aircraft Held for Operating Lease were financed and three aircraft were unencumbered.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company executed lease amendments to purchase two aircraft at the end of the lease term, which modified the lease classification from operating leases to

finance leases with expiration dates in fiscal year 2026. The Company also acquired two incremental 737-800 aircraft, one of which was financed using proceeds from the issuance of Class A and Class B pass-through trust certificates (the "2022-1 EETC") and another through a finance lease arrangement that is set to expire in fiscal year 2030.

6. ASSET ACQUISITIONS
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire five Aircraft Held for Operating Lease for approximately $158,000. On March 29, 2023, the Company acquired three of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. The table below reflects the cumulative balances recognized upon acquisition of the three aircraft on March 29, 2023:

Asset Balance Sheet Classification

Maintenance Rights AssetAircraft and Flight Equipment Held for Operating Lease24,668 
Over-Market AssetOther Intangible Assets, net2,004 
Total$94,631 
The purchase price was assigned to the assets based upon their relative fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company estimated the fair value of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease principally based on market appraisals. The appraisals were based on an analysis of the economic conditions impacting both the airline industry and broader economy, the current fuel price environment, aircraft order data, passenger traffic levels, and qualitative and quantitative characteristics impacting the value of the acquired aircraft.
The fair value of the Maintenance Rights Asset was determined using a discounted cash flow method based on aircraft utilization levels at the time of the acquisition and the applicable rates as specified within the lease agreements.
The fair value of the Over-Market Asset was determined using a discounted cash flow model that involves the comparison of contractual lease cash flows to the estimated at-market lease payments for an aircraft of the same type and age.

On April 4, 2023, the Company completed the transaction resulting in the acquisition of the two additional Aircraft Held for Operating Lease for the remaining consideration of approximately $63,000. The acquisition cost of the aircraft will be allocated between Aircraft Held for Operating Lease, Maintenance Rights, and Over-Market Assets on a relative fair value basis.

(Unaudited)
As of March 31, 2023, the Company's restricted cash balance also included $13,103 that was deposited in relation to the purchase of the two remaining Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. Upon acquisition, the deposited amounts were remitted to the seller.
The purchase of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease was financed primarily using the proceeds from a term loan credit facility with a face amount of $119,200 and the Company's cash. As of March 31, 2023, $71,280 of the term loan credit facility was outstanding with respect to three Aircraft Held for Operating Lease acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The remaining $47,920 of financing available under the term loan credit facility was drawn on April 4, 2023 related to the purchase of the two remaining Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. For more information on the term loan credit facility, see Note 7 of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Aircraft Held for Operating Lease
The Company obtained outright ownership of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease upon purchase and assumed the position of lessor until the end of the lease terms. The Company is entitled to fixed payments over the remaining lease term for each aircraft, which expire at various dates between the fourth quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2025. On each lease expiry date, the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease will be redelivered to Sun Country and is expected to be inducted into the Company’s fleet. The rental revenue associated with the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease is recognized as it is earned and is included in Other revenue. The rental revenue was not material to the Company's results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Maintenance Rights Asset
Upon purchase of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease, the Company recognized a Maintenance Rights Asset which represents the Company’s contractual right to receive the aircraft in a specified maintenance condition at the end of the lease. The acquired leases contain an end of lease compensation clause whereby the lessee is required to remit a cash payment as a means to true-up the aircraft’s maintenance condition to full-life or perform the maintenance tasks needed to physically restore the airframe and engines to such a condition. The asset represents the difference between the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease’s physical maintenance condition as of the purchase date and the contractual return condition at the end of the lease term. The Maintenance Rights Asset is not depreciated over the lease term, nor will it accrete as additional life is consumed on the aircraft.
Over-Market Asset
Upon purchase of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease, the Company recognized an intangible asset representing lease terms which are favorable to the lessor (unfavorable to the lessee) as compared with market terms of similar leases. The asset will be amortized over the remaining lease terms for the respective aircrafts, which ranges from approximately 1.7-2.7 years. The amortization will be recognized as a contra-revenue, offsetting the rental revenue associated with the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease included in Other revenue.
7.    DEBT
Credit Facilities
On February 10, 2021, the Company executed a five-year credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders. The Credit Agreement includes a $25,000 Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a $90,000 Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility (“DDTL”), which are collectively referred to as the
-15-

Table of Contents
SUN COUNTRY AIRLINES HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share and share amounts)
(Unaudited)
“Credit Facilities.” The proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility can be used for general corporate purposes, whereas the proceeds from the DDTL were to be used solely to finance the acquisition of aircraft or engines to be registered in the United States. The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants that require a minimum trailing 12-month EBITDAR ($87,700 as of March 31, 2022 and beyond) and minimum liquidity of $30,000 at the close of any business day. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2023.
During 2021, the Company drew $80,500 on the DDTL to purchase six aircraft, which were previously under operating leases. During 2022, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of the DDTL in full using proceeds received from the 2022-1 EETC, which terminated the DDTL. As a result, no amounts under the DDTL were available to the Company as of March 31, 2023. The Company recorded a $1,557 loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2022 in connection with the repayment of the DDTL, which represents the write-off of the unamortized deferred financing costs. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $24,650 of financing available through the Revolving Credit Facility, as $350 had been pledged to support a letter of credit.
Long-term Debt
Term Loan Credit Facility
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company executed a term loan credit facility with a face amount of $119,200 for the purpose of financing the five Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. The loan is to be repaid monthly over 7 years. During the lease term, payments collected from the lessee will be applied directly to the repayment of principal and interest on the term loan credit facility. The Aircraft Held for Operating Lease, as well as the related lease payments received from the lessee, are pledged as collateral. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company received gross proceeds of $71,280 with respect to three of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. An incremental $47,920 of gross proceeds were received subsequent to March 31, 2023 upon the completion of the transaction resulting in the acquisition of two additional Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded $1,388 in debt issuance costs associated with the term loan credit facility.
The interest rate on the term loan credit facility is determined by using a base rate, which resets monthly, plus an applicable margin, and a fixed credit spread adjustment of 0.1%. The applicable margin during the lease term is fixed at 3.75%, and is subsequently reduced to 3.25% once the aircraft have been redelivered to the Company at the end of the lease term and a Loan-to-Value ("LTV") ratio calculation is completed. The interest rate in effect as of March 31, 2023 on the term loan was 8.6%. To the extent that the LTV exceeds 75%, a principal prepayment will be required in order to reduce the ratio to 75%. Amounts received under the end of lease maintenance compensation clause may be applied towards the LTV payment.
Pass-Through Trust Certificates
In March 2022, the Company arranged for the issuance of the 2022-1 EETC in an aggregate face amount of $188,277 for the purpose of financing or refinancing 13 aircraft.
In December 2019, the Company arranged for the issuance of Class A, Class B and Class C trust certificates Series 2019-1 (the “2019-1 EETC”), in an aggregate face amount of $248,587 for the purpose of financing or refinancing 13 used aircraft, which was completed in 2020.

The Company also holds Certificates of Deposit that are included in Investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaling $6,361 and $6,301 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company's investments that have unrealized losses have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. The unrealized losses were the result of increases in market interest rates and were not the result of a deterioration in the credit quality of the securities. As of March 31, 2023, the Company believes that any unrealized losses are recoverable prior to the investment's conversion to cash. Therefore, the Company believes these losses to be temporary and no impairments have been recognized.

10.    INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was 22.9% and 43.3%, respectively. The effective tax rate represents a blend of federal and state taxes and includes the impact of certain nondeductible or nontaxable items. The 20.4% decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the $6,800 non-deductible adjustment to increase the tax receivable liability related to the Tax Receivable Agreement (the "Tax Receivable Agreement" or "TRA") in the prior period, partially offset by stock compensation benefits.
Tax Receivable Agreement
The TRA balance as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $101,020 and $103,800, respectively. The TRA liability is an estimate and actual amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement could differ from this estimate. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an immaterial adjustment to the estimated TRA liability. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded an adjustment to the estimated TRA liability of $6,800. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company made a payment of $2,425 to the pre-IPO stockholders (the “TRA holders”), which includes certain members of the Company's management and certain of the Company's Board of Directors. The payment is included within Financing Activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Payments will be made in future periods as attributes that existed at the time of the IPO (the “Pre-IPO Tax Attributes”) are utilized.
11.    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Equity Transactions
Secondary Offerings
On February 15, 2023, the Company announced the commencement of a secondary public offering of 5,250,000 shares of its Common Stock by an affiliate of certain investment funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (“Apollo”). The underwriters were given an option to purchase an additional 787,500 shares of Common Stock. In connection with the offering, the underwriters agreed to sell to the Company, and the Company agreed to purchase from the underwriters, an aggregate of 750,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $19.75 per share, the same price at which the underwriters purchased the Common Stock from the selling stockholder, for a total of $14,812. The Company incurred offering expenses of $528 in connection to this offering and did not receive any of the proceeds.

In connection with the ATSA, the Company issued warrants to Amazon to purchase an aggregate of up to 9,482,606 shares of common stock at an exercise price of approximately $15.17 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, 189,652 warrants vested in each respective period. As of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, the cumulative vested warrants held by Amazon were 2,591,920 and 1,833,312, respectively. The exercise period of these warrants is through the eighth anniversary of the issue date.
12.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has contractual obligations and commitments primarily with regard to lease arrangements, repayment of debt (see Note 7), payments under the TRA (see Note 10), and probable future purchases of aircraft.
During the second quarter of 2022, an owned aircraft was retired due to the aircraft sustaining damage beyond economic repair. The best estimate of this event was recorded during 2022. The contingency has been finalized and the impact of the retirement was not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations.
As of March 31, 2023 the Company had a commitment to lease three aircraft with deliveries spanning the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. The leases will each have annual lease payments of approximately $2,000 for six years.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had a commitment to purchase an incremental aircraft for approximately $24,500. The Company is expected to take delivery of the aircraft in the second quarter of 2023.
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings in the normal course of business and expenses legal costs as incurred. Management does not believe these proceedings will have a materially adverse effect on the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis presents factors that had a material effect on our results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Also discussed is our financial position as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. This section should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and discussion under the heading, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2022 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risk, assumptions and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations, intentions and forecasts. Our actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including those set forth under the section of this report titled, “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report. You should carefully read the “Risk Factors” included in our 2022 10-K to gain an understanding of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements.
Business Overview
Sun Country is a new breed of hybrid low-cost air carrier that dynamically deploys shared resources across our synergistic scheduled service, charter, and cargo businesses. By doing so, we believe we are able to generate high growth, high margins and strong cash flows with greater resilience than other passenger airlines. Based in Minnesota, we focus on serving leisure and visiting friends and relatives ("VFR") passengers and charter customers and providing crew, maintenance and insurance (“CMI”) services, with flights throughout the United States and to destinations in Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. We share resources, such as flight crews, across our scheduled service, charter and cargo business lines with the objective of generating higher returns and margins and mitigating the seasonality of our route network. We optimize capacity allocation by market, time of year, day of week and line of business by shifting flying to markets during periods of peak demand and away from markets during periods of low demand with far greater frequency than nearly all other large U.S. passenger airlines. We believe our flexible business model generates higher returns and margins while also providing greater resiliency to economic and industry downturns than a traditional scheduled service carrier.
Our scheduled service business combines low costs with a high-quality product to generate higher Total Revenue per Available Seat Mile (“TRASM”) than Ultra Low-Cost Carriers ("ULCCs", which include Allegiant Travel Company, Frontier Airlines and Spirit Airlines) while maintaining lower Adjusted Cost per Available Seat Mile (“CASM”) than Low Cost Carriers ("LCCs", which include Southwest Airlines and JetBlue Airways), resulting in best-in-class unit profitability. Our business includes many cost characteristics of ULCCs, such as an unbundled product (which means we offer a base fare and allow customers to purchase ancillary products and services for an additional fee), point-to-point service and a single-family fleet of Boeing 737-NG aircraft, which allow us to maintain a cost base comparable to these ULCCs. However, we offer a high-quality product that we believe is superior to ULCCs and consistent with that of LCCs. For example, our product includes more legroom than ULCCs, complimentary beverages, in-flight entertainment, and in-seat power, none of which are offered by ULCCs.

Our charter business, which is one of the largest narrow body charter operations in the United States, is a key component of our strategy because it provides both inherent diversification and downside protection, and because it is synergistic with our other businesses. Our charter business has several favorable characteristics, including: large repeat customers, more stable demand than scheduled service flying, and the ability to pass through certain costs, including fuel. Our diverse charter customer base includes casino operators, the U.S. Department of Defense, and collegiate and professional sports teams. Our charter business includes ad hoc, repeat, short-term and long-term service contracts with pass through fuel arrangements and annual rate escalations. Most of our business is non-cyclical because the U.S. Department of Defense and sports teams continue to fly during normal economic downturns and our casino contracts are long-term in nature.
On December 13, 2019, we signed the ATSA with Amazon to provide air cargo services. Flying under the ATSA began in May 2020 and we are currently flying 12 Boeing 737-800 cargo aircraft for Amazon. Our CMI service is asset-light from a Sun Country perspective as Amazon supplies the aircraft and covers many of the operating expenses, including fuel, and provides all cargo loading and unloading services. We are responsible for flying the aircraft under our air carrier certificate, crew, aircraft line maintenance and insurance, all of which allow us to leverage our existing operational expertise from our passenger businesses. Our cargo business also enables us to leverage certain assets, capabilities, and fixed costs to enhance profitability and promote growth across our Company.
Operations in Review
We believe a key component of our success is establishing Sun Country as a high growth, low-cost carrier in the United States by attracting customers with low fares and garnering repeat business by delivering a high-quality passenger experience, offering state-of-the-art interiors, free streaming of in-flight entertainment to passenger devices, seat reclining and seat-back power in all of our aircraft.
Pilot training throughput issues, fuel price increases due to geopolitical events, and the impact of macroeconomic conditions including inflationary pressures continue to impact the Company, as well as the industry. Airline travel demand has remained strong which has offset the additional costs associated with pilot training throughput issues, fuel price increases, and other inflationary pressures. Our flexible business model gives us the ability to adjust our services in response to these market conditions, which is targeted at producing the highest possible returns for Sun Country.
The Company experienced challenging winter weather at our main hub, the Minneapolis – St. Paul International Airport ("MSP") during the first quarter of 2023. A substantial portion of our business is focused on serving markets originating or ending in MSP during this seasonal peak period. Minneapolis-St. Paul had one of the top snowfalls on record this year, which drove a number of operational challenges and resulted in additional costs for the Company. Two major storms shut down MSP airport during the first quarter of 2023, which is rare. The resulting cancellations from these closures negatively impacted results in the quarter.
For more information on our business and strategic advantages, see the "Business" and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Operations” sections within Part I, Item 1 and Part II, Item 7, respectively, in our 2022 10-K.

The year-over-year increases in certain scheduled service operating data were primarily the result of an increase in demand in the first quarter of 2023 relative to the same period in 2022. The year-over-year increase in demand is demonstrated by a 14% increase in the average base fare per passenger, 8.6 percentage points increase in passenger load factor, and a 8% increase in passengers, as year-over-year ASMs decreased by 3%. The year-over-year revenue increase is slightly offset by the introduction of an Ancillary product during the second quarter of 2022, which reclassified approximately $17,224 of revenue from Scheduled Service to Ancillary during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Charter Service. Charter service revenue increased $13,308, or 40%, to $46,187 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $32,879 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Charter revenue per block hour was $9,139 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $8,643 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, for an increase of 6%. The increase in Charter service revenue was driven by a 46% and 33% increase in Charter departures and block hours, respectively, primarily due to new charter agreements.
Ancillary. Ancillary revenue increased by $23,339, or 52%, to $68,425 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $45,086 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Ancillary revenue was $68.55 per passenger in the three months ended March 31, 2023, up $19.68, or 40%, from the three months ended March 31, 2022. Ancillary revenue benefited from the introduction of an Ancillary product during the second quarter of 2022, which reclassified approximately $17,224 of revenue from Scheduled Service to Ancillary during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in scheduled passengers and passenger load factor of 8% and 8.6 percentage points, respectively, during the period resulted in greater sales of air travel-related services, such as baggage fees, seat selection and upgrade fees, priority check-in and boarding fees, itinerary service fees and on-board sales.
Cargo. Revenue from cargo services increased by $2,308, or 11%, to $23,361 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $21,053 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by a 18% and 5% increase in departures and block hours, respectively. Revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023 also benefited from the annual rate escalation included in the ATSA, which went into effect on December 13, 2022.

Other. Other revenue was $3,485 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $3,439 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Other revenue will benefit in future periods from the rental revenue associated with the five Aircraft Held for Operating Lease acquired in March and April of 2023.
Operating Expenses
Aircraft Fuel. We believe Aircraft Fuel expense, excluding indirect fuel credits, is the best measure of the effect of fuel prices on our business as it consists solely of direct fuel expenses that are related to our operations and is consistent with how management analyzes our operating performance. This measure is defined as GAAP Aircraft Fuel expense, excluding indirect fuel credits that are recognized within Aircraft Fuel expense, but are not directly related to our Fuel Cost per Gallon.
The primary components of Aircraft Fuel expense are shown in the following table:

Three Months Ended March 31,Change%
Change
20232022
Total Aircraft Fuel Expense$72,290 $64,544 $7,746 12 %
Indirect Fuel Credits440 318 122 38 %
Aircraft Fuel Expense, Excluding Indirect Fuel Credits$72,730 $64,862 $7,868 12 %
Fuel Gallons Consumed (thousands)21,073 20,245 828 %
Fuel Cost per Gallon, Excluding Indirect Fuel Credits$3.45 $3.20 $0.25 %

Aircraft Fuel expense increased by 12% year-over-year primarily due to a 8% increase in the average fuel cost per gallon and a 4% increase in consumption. The price of fuel continues to be impacted by global geopolitical events.
Salaries, Wages, and Benefits. Salaries, Wages, and Benefits expense increased $15,813, or 27%, to $75,430 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $59,617 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in Salaries, Wages, and Benefits was primarily due to an increase in headcount, as well as per unit costs for pilots to support the current flight schedule. The employee headcount as of March 31, 2023 was 2,634, as compared to 2,316 as of March 31, 2022, for an increase of 318, or 14%.
Aircraft Rent. Aircraft Rent expense decreased $1,706, or 54%, to $1,480 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $3,186 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Aircraft Rent expense decreased primarily due to the composition of our aircraft fleet shifting from aircraft under operating leases (expense is recorded within Aircraft Rent) to owned aircraft or finance leases (expense is recorded through Depreciation and Amortization and Interest Expense). As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were two and four aircraft under operating leases, respectively.
Maintenance. Maintenance expense increased $1,044, or 9%, to $13,039 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $11,995 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in maintenance expense was primarily driven by the year-over-year increase in the size of our fleet, as well as increased total system departures and block hours. These amounts were partially offset by fewer landing gear events and heavy maintenance checks.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and Marketing expense increased $1,301, or 15%, to $9,929 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $8,628 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The year-over-year

increase was driven by approximately $1,500 increase in credit card processing, partially offset by a decrease in global distribution system expenses due to a new direct distribution method that has shifted the mix of direct and indirect sales.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and Amortization expense increased $4,132, or 27%, to $19,460 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $15,328 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the impact of a change in the composition of our aircraft fleet that results in an increased number of owned aircraft and aircraft under finance leases (the expense is recorded as Depreciation and Amortization and Interest Expense). As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were 43 and 34 aircraft that were owned or under finance leases, respectively.
Ground Handling. Ground Handling expense increased $3,080, or 39%, to $11,038 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $7,958 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the 46% increase in Charter departures, as well as rate increases due to inflationary and market pressures.
Landing Fees and Airport Rent. Landing Fees and Airport Rent increased $1,765, or 17%, to $12,051 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $10,286 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the 46% increase in Charter departures, as well as rate increases due to inflationary and market pressures.
Other Operating, net. Other operating, net increased $465, or 2%, to $23,615 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $23,150 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, mainly due to increased departures within Charter, which resulted in higher crew travel costs and catering expenses, as well as an increase in other operational overhead costs. These increases were partially offset by an increase in Charter recovery costs as a result of the 46% increase in departures.
Non-operating Income (Expense)
Interest Income. Interest income was $2,741 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to the change in investment strategy which led to the purchase of debt securities during the second quarter of 2022. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was nominal.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $68, or 1%, to $8,630 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $8,562 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a larger mix of owned aircraft that were financed or refinanced with the proceeds from new debt, partially offset by a $1,557 loss on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to the repayment of the DDTL. Interest expense will be impacted in future periods from the additional debt incurred to complete the acquisition of five Aircraft Held for Operating Lease in March and April of 2023. For more information on the Company's Debt, see Note 7 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this report.
Other, net. Other, net was a net expense of $212 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to a net expense of $6,876 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $6,664, or 97%. The decrease was primarily due to the $6,800 adjustment to increase the estimated TRA liability in the prior year, partially offset by offering expenses of $528 in connection to the Company's secondary offering during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Income Tax. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 22.9% compared to 43.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the $6,800 non-deductible adjustment of the TRA liability in the prior period, partially offset by stock compensation benefits. For more information on the TRA liability, see Note 10 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this report.

Passenger. Passenger Operating Income increased by $37,733 to $57,851 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $20,118 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Operating Margin Percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by 11.6 percentage points, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in Passenger Operating Income and Operating Margin was primarily driven by an increase in demand for passenger service during the first quarter of 2023, as compared to the first quarter of 2022, resulting in higher per unit revenues for both scheduled service and charter. These revenue increases more than offset increases in expenses. For more information on the changes in the components of Operating Income for the Passenger segment, refer to the Results of Operations discussion above.
Cargo. Cargo had an Operating Loss of $2,068 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to Operating Income of $1,715 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $3,783. Operating Margin Percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by 17.0 percentage points, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a year-over-year increase in Salaries, Wages, and Benefits due to an increase in head count, as well as per unit costs for pilots

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We sometimes use information that is derived from the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, but that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide a meaningful comparison of our results to others in the airline industry and our prior year results. Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies. We believe certain charges included in our operating expenses on a GAAP basis make it difficult to compare our current period results to prior periods as well as future periods and guidance. The tables below show a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this Report to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures included as supplemental disclosure because we believe they are useful indicators of our operating performance. Derivations of Operating Income and Net Income are well recognized performance measurements in the airline industry that are frequently used by our management, as well as by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in comparing the operating performance of companies in our industry.
The measures described above have limitations as analytical tools. Some of the limitations applicable to these measures include: they do not reflect the impact of certain cash and non-cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently than we do, limiting each measure’s usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, the following non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not be the same as or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies due to the possible differences in the method of calculation and in the items being adjusted.
For the foregoing reasons, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA have significant limitations which affect their use as indicators of our profitability. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.

CASM and Adjusted CASM
CASM is a key airline cost metric defined as operating expenses divided by total available seat miles. Adjusted CASM is a non-GAAP measure derived from CASM by excluding fuel costs, costs related to our cargo operations, stock-based compensation, certain commissions and other costs of selling our vacation products from this measure as these costs are unrelated to our airline operations and improve comparability to our peers. Adjusted CASM is an important measure used by management and by our Board of Directors in assessing quarterly and annual cost performance. Adjusted CASM is commonly used by industry analysts and we believe it is an important metric by which they compare our airline to others in the industry, although other airlines may exclude certain other costs in their calculation of Adjusted CASM. The measure is also the subject of frequent questions from investors.
Adjusted CASM excludes fuel costs. By excluding volatile fuel expenses that are outside of our control from our unit metrics, we believe that we have better visibility into the results of operations and our non-fuel cost initiatives. Our industry is highly competitive and is characterized by high fixed costs, so even a small reduction in non-fuel operating costs can lead to a significant improvement in operating results. In addition, we believe that all domestic carriers are similarly impacted by changes in jet fuel costs over the long run, so it is important for management and investors to understand the impact and trends in company-specific cost drivers, such as labor rates, aircraft costs and maintenance costs, and productivity, which are more controllable by management.
We have excluded costs related to the cargo operations as these operations do not create ASMs. The cargo expenses in the reconciliation below are different from the total operating expenses for our Cargo segment in the “Segment Information” table presented above, due to several items that are included in the Cargo segment, but have been captured in other line items used in the Adjusted CASM calculation. Adjusted CASM further excludes special items and other adjustments, as defined in the relevant reporting period, that are not

representative of the ongoing costs necessary to our airline operations and may improve comparability between periods. We also exclude stock compensation expense when computing Adjusted CASM. The Company’s compensation strategy includes the use of stock-based compensation to attract and retain employees and executives and is principally aimed at aligning their interests with those of our stockholders and long-term employee retention, rather than to motivate or reward operational performance for any period. Thus, stock-based compensation expense varies for reasons that are generally unrelated to operational decisions and performance in any period.
As derivations of Adjusted CASM are not determined in accordance with GAAP, such measures are susceptible to varying calculations and not all companies calculate the measures in the same manner. As a result, derivations of Adjusted CASM as presented may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Adjusted CASM should not be considered in isolation or as a replacement for CASM. For the aforementioned reasons, Adjusted CASM has significant limitations which affect its use as an indicator of our profitability. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The airline business is capital intensive. Our ability to successfully execute our business strategy is largely dependent on the continued availability of capital with attractive terms and maintaining sufficient liquidity. We have historically funded our operations and capital expenditures primarily through cash from operations, proceeds from stockholders’ capital contributions, the issuance of promissory notes, and debt financing.
Our primary sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2023 included our existing cash and cash equivalents of $71,587 and short-term investments of $171,638, our expected cash generated from operations, and the $24,650 of available funds from the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, we had restricted cash of $22,776 as of March 31, 2023, which generally consists of cash received as prepayment for chartered flights that is maintained in separate escrow accounts in accordance with DOT regulations requiring that charter revenue receipts received prior to the date of transportation are maintained in a separate third-party escrow account. The restrictions are released once the charter transportation is provided. As of March 31, 2023, the Company's restricted cash balance also included $13,103 that was deposited in relation to the purchase of the two remaining Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. Upon acquisition, the deposited amounts were remitted to the seller.

(Unaudited)
Our primary uses of liquidity are for operating expenses, capital expenditures, lease rentals and maintenance reserve deposits, debt repayments, working capital requirements, and other general corporate purposes. Our single largest capital expenditure requirement relates to the acquisition of aircraft, which we have historically acquired through operating leases, finance leases, and debt. Our management team retains broad discretion to allocate liquidity.
We believe that our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, combined with expected future cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations and meet our debt payment obligations for at least the next twelve months. However, we cannot predict what the effect on our business and financial position might be from a change in the competitive environment in which we operate or from events beyond our control, such as volatile fuel prices, economic conditions, pandemics, weather-related disruptions, the impact of airline bankruptcies, restructurings or consolidations, U.S. military actions, regulations, or acts of terrorism.
Aircraft – As of March 31, 2023, our fleet consisted of 57 Boeing 737-NG aircraft. This includes 42 aircraft in the passenger fleet, 12 cargo operated aircraft through the ATSA, and three Aircraft Held for Operating Lease.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire five Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. On March 29, 2023, the Company acquired three of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease for total consideration of approximately $95,000. On April 4, 2023, the Company completed the transaction resulting in the acquisition of the two additional Aircraft Held for Operating Lease for total consideration of approximately $63,000. Upon purchase, the Company obtained outright ownership of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease and assumed the position of lessor until the end of the lease terms. On each lease expiry date, the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease will be redelivered to Sun Country and is expected to be inducted into the Company’s fleet.
We may finance additional aircraft through debt financing or finance leases based on market conditions, our prevailing level of liquidity and capital market availability. We may also enter into new operating leases on an opportunistic basis. For more information on our fleet, see Note 5 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this report.
Maintenance Deposits - In addition to funding the acquisition of aircraft, we are required by certain of our aircraft lessors to fund reserves in cash in advance for scheduled maintenance to act as collateral for the benefit of lessors. Qualifying payments that are expected to be recovered from lessors are recorded as Lessor Maintenance Deposits on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2023, we had $36,532 of total Lessor Maintenance Deposits.
Investments - The Company invests its cash and cash equivalents in highly liquid securities with strong credit ratings. As of March 31, 2023, the Company held $165,277 of debt securities, all of which are classified as current assets because of their highly liquid nature and availability to be converted into cash to fund current operations. Given the significant portion of our portfolio held in cash and cash equivalents and the high credit quality of our debt security investments, we do not anticipate fluctuations in the aggregate fair value of our investments to have a material impact on our liquidity or capital position.
The Company also holds $6,361 of Certificates of Deposit that are included in Investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2023.
CARES Act - During the twelve months ended June 30, 2022, the compensation payable to an executive officer temporarily exceeded the restrictions on the payment of certain executive compensation under the CARES Act. Once the issue was identified, the executive officer voluntarily rescinded the unvested portion of the equity grant that caused the executive’s compensation to exceed the CARES Act limit. At no point did the executive's cash

compensation and equity awards that could be monetized exceed the CARES Act limit. The Company did not accrue any amounts related to this matter as of March 31, 2023. To the extent we are deemed to have failed to remain in full compliance with the CARES Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder, we may become subject to fines or other enforcement actions.
Credit Facilities - The Company uses its Credit Facilities to provide liquidity support for general corporate purposes and to finance the acquisition of aircraft.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $24,650 of the $25,000 Revolving Credit Facility available due to $350 being pledged to support a letter of credit, and no balance drawn. The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants that require a minimum trailing 12-month EBITDAR ($87,700 as of March 31, 2022 and beyond) and a minimum liquidity of $30,000 at the close of any business day. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2023.
Debt - At our discretion, we obtain debt financing through the issuance of pass-through trust certificates to purchase, or refinance, aircraft. In December 2019, we issued the 2019-1 EETC, for the purpose of financing or refinancing 13 used aircraft. In March 2022, the Company issued the 2022-1 EETC for the purpose of financing or refinancing 13 aircraft.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company executed a term loan credit facility with a face amount of $119,200 for the purpose of financing the five Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. The loan is to be repaid monthly over 7 years. During the lease term, payments collected from the lessee will be applied directly to the repayment of principal and interest on the term loan credit facility. The Aircraft Held for Operating Lease, as well as the related lease payments received from the lessee, are pledged as collateral. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company received gross proceeds of $71,280 with respect to three of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. An incremental $47,920 of gross proceeds were received subsequent to March 31, 2023 upon the completion of the transaction resulting in the acquisition of two additional Aircraft Held for Operating Lease.
The interest rate on the term loan credit facility is determined by using a base rate, which resets monthly, plus an applicable margin, and a fixed credit spread adjustment of 0.1%. The applicable margin during the lease term is fixed at 3.75%, and is subsequently reduced to 3.25% once the aircraft have been redelivered to the Company at the end of the lease term and a LTV ratio calculation is completed. The interest rate in effect as of March 31, 2023 on the term loan was 8.6%. To the extent that the LTV exceeds 75%, a principal prepayment will be required in order to reduce the ratio to 75%. Amounts received under the end of lease maintenance compensation clause may be applied towards the LTV payment.
For more information on our credit facilities or debt, see Note 7 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this report.
TRA Liability - During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company made a payment of $2,425 to the TRA holders. Payments will be made in future periods as Pre-IPO Tax Attributes are utilized. For more information on the TRA liability, see Note 10 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this report.

Operating Cash Flow Activities
Operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2023 provided $47,861, as compared to providing $18,213 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, our Net Income was $38,328 and $3,637, respectively.
Our operating cash flow is primarily impacted by the following factors:
Seasonality of Advance Ticket Sales. We sell tickets for air travel in advance of the customer's travel date. When we receive a cash payment at the time of sale, we record the cash received on advance sales as deferred revenue in Air Traffic Liabilities. Air Traffic Liabilities typically increase during the fall and early winter months as advanced ticket sales grow prior to the late winter and spring peak travel season and decrease during the summer months. Most tickets can be purchased no more than twelve months in advance, therefore any revenue associated with tickets sold for future travel will be recognized within that timeframe. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, $123,574 of revenue recognized in Passenger revenue was included in the $157,995 of Air Traffic Liabilities as of December 31, 2022. The balance of Air Traffic Liabilities increased year-over-year by 28% to $141,613 as of March 31, 2023. This is due to increased demand for passenger services, which has also resulted in higher per unit revenues.
Aircraft Fuel. Aircraft Fuel expense represented approximately 30% and 32% of our total operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The market price for jet fuel is volatile, which can impact the comparability of our periodic cash flows from operations. Fuel consumption increased by 4% during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to prior year. Additionally, the cost per gallon increased by 8% year-over-year due to current market conditions, which continue to be impacted by global geopolitical events. We expect jet fuel prices to remain volatile throughout 2023.
Investing Cash Flow Activities
Capital Expenditures. Our capital expenditures were $104,978 and $49,683 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily included the purchase of three Aircraft Held for Operating Lease and one spare engine. Our capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily included the purchase of one incremental aircraft, the purchase of three spare engines, the first installment payment to purchase a flight simulator, and other miscellaneous projects.
Investments. During three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company's net investment activity resulted in cash inflows of $8,612. This was the result of a change in investment strategy during the second quarter of 2022, which led to the purchase of debt securities. Proceeds from maturing securities exceeded purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Financing Cash Flow Activities
Debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company executed a term loan credit facility with a face amount of $119,200 for the purpose of financing the five Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. The Company received gross proceeds of $71,280 with respect to three of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease during the three months ended March 31, 2023. In March 2022, the Company arranged for the issuance of the 2022-1 EETC in an aggregate face amount of $188,277 for the purpose of financing or refinancing 13 aircraft. Five of these aircraft were owned fleet assets previously financed by the DDTL, which was repaid with the proceeds from the 2022-1 EETC.

Finance Leases. The year-over-year decrease was impacted by the change in the composition of our fleet that resulted in a decrease in the number of aircraft operated under finance leases. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were 11 and 12 finance leases, respectively.
Common Stock Repurchases. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 the Company repurchased 750,000 shares of its Common Stock at a total cost of $14,812, or $19.75 per share. The repurchase was part of a secondary public offering of the Company's shares by an affiliate of certain investment funds managed by affiliates of Apollo. For more information on the stock repurchase program and this purchase, see Note 11 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this report.
Other. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company made a payment of $2,425 to the TRA holders.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected. For more information on our critical accounting policies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Operations” sections within Part II, Item 7, respectively, in our 2022 10-K.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the 2022 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks include commodity price risk, specifically with respect to aircraft fuel, as well as interest rate risk. The adverse effects of changes in these markets could pose a potential loss as discussed below. The sensitivity analysis provided does not consider the effects that such adverse changes may have on overall economic activity, nor does it consider additional actions we may take to mitigate our exposure to such changes. Accordingly, actual results may differ from the information provided below.
Aircraft Fuel. Unexpected pricing changes of aircraft fuel could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. To hedge the economic risk associated with volatile aircraft fuel prices, we periodically enter into fuel collars, which allows us to reduce the overall cost of hedging, but may prevent us from participating in the benefit of downward price movements. In the past, we have also entered into fuel option and swap contracts. We had no hedges in place at March 31, 2023. We do not hold or issue option or swap contracts for trading purposes. We currently do not expect to enter into these types of contracts prospectively, although significant changes in market conditions could affect our decisions. Based on our forecasted scheduled service and charter fuel consumption for the second quarter of 2023, we estimate that a one cent per gallon increase in the average aircraft fuel price would increase aircraft fuel expense by approximately $193 excluding reimbursed fuel from cargo and certain charter customers.
Interest Rates. We have exposure to market risk associated with changes in interest rates related to the interest expense from our variable-rate debt and our short-term investment securities. A change in market interest rates would impact interest expense under the $119,200 term loan credit facility used to finance the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates on the term loan would result in a corresponding increase in interest expense of approximately $1,192 annually. As of the date of this filing, the entire term loan credit facility had been drawn. The Company also maintains a $25,000 Revolving Credit Facility with a variable interest rate that is impacted by market conditions. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $24,650 of financing available through the Revolving Credit Facility, as $350 had been pledged to support a letter of credit. As of March 31, 2023, no amounts on the Revolving Credit Facility had been drawn.
Our short-term investment securities are primarily comprised of fixed-rate debt investments. An increase in market interest rates decreases the market value of fixed-rate investments. Conversely, a decrease in market interest rates increases the market value. The fair market value of our short-term investments with exposure to interest rate risk was $165,277 as of March 31, 2023. These investments are highly liquid and are available to be quickly converted into known amounts of cash to fund current operations. The Company limits its investments to investment grade quality securities. Given these factors and that a significant portion of our portfolio is held in cash and cash equivalents, we do not anticipate fluctuations in the aggregate fair value of our financial assets to have a material impact on our liquidity or capital position.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2023.

-39-

Table of Contents
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2023, due to the material weakness described below.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2022, that Management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, Management's controls over the accounting for complex, non-routine transactions were not designed or implemented to operate with a sufficient level of precision. This included controls addressing the application of ASC Topic 842, Leases, to the purchase of aircraft subject to an existing operating lease.

This control deficiency did not result in a material misstatement of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our prior period consolidated annual or interim financial statements. However, the control deficiency created a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements would not have been prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, Management has concluded that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.

Remediation Plan

Management is continuing to supplement the system of internal control over financial reporting with the following actions:

Hired a technical accounting specialist after the material weakness occurred;

Provided additional training on how to utilize external technical accounting research resources;

Reviewed all existing internal accounting policies and accounting guidance memos for completeness and the appropriate accounting guidance, including those surrounding leases;

Established a policy to provide additional guidance surrounding the use of third-party specialists;

Enhanced the design of financial reporting controls, specifically sub-certifications and review of non-routine transactions;

Engaging third-party specialists, as necessary, to review Management’s conclusions on the accounting for non-routine transactions involving the application of complex accounting standards; and

Continuing to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of our risk assessment and review controls over accounting for complex, non-routine transactions, including lease-related transactions.

We have made significant progress in accordance with our remediation plan since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as follows:

Continued to engage third-party specialists to review Managements conclusions on the accounting for non-routine transactions occurring in the first quarter of 2023; and

Re-designed the overall design of our risk assessment process with utilization of a new third-party tool

Established a policy and internal controls surrounding transactions related to a new lessor relationship

The material weakness will not be considered remediated until a sustained period of time has passed to allow management to test the design and operational effectiveness of the corrective actions. We believe that our
-40-

Table of Contents
remediation plan will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weakness and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. However, as we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, Management may determine that additional measures to address control deficiencies or modifications to the remediation plan are necessary. Therefore, we cannot assure you when the Company will remediate the material weakness identified above, nor can we be certain that additional actions will not be required and what the costs of any such additional actions may be. Moreover, we cannot assure you that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future.

Despite the existence of this material weakness, our management believes that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the changes made as part of the remediation plan described above, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject to commercial litigation claims and to administrative and regulatory proceedings and reviews that may be asserted or maintained from time to time. We currently believe that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits, proceedings and reviews will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We have disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2022 10-K, the risk factors which materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Except for the updated risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in our 2022 10-K and the risk factors presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Risks Related to Our Business

Major bank failure or sustained financial market illiquidity, or illiquidity at our clearing, cash management and custodial financial institutions, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. On March 10, 2023, the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation closed Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) and appointed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) receiver. Similarly, on March 12, 2023, Signature Bank and Silvergate Capital Corp. were each swept into receivership. Although depositors at SVB received access to their funds, uncertainty and liquidity concerns in the broader financial services industry remain. Inflation and rapid increases in interest rates have led to a decline in the trading value of previously issued government securities with interest rates below current market interest rates. The U.S. Department of Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board have announced a program to provide up to $25 billion of loans to financial institutions secured by such government securities held by financial institutions to mitigate the risk of potential losses on the sale of such instruments. However, widespread demands for customer withdrawals or other needs of financial institutions for immediate liquidity may exceed the capacity of such program. There is no guarantee that the U.S. Department
-41-

Table of Contents
of Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board will provide access to uninsured funds in the future in the event of the closure of other banks or financial institutions in a timely fashion or at all. The ultimate outcome of these events, and whether further regulatory actions will be taken, cannot be predicted.

We would face certain risks in the event of a sustained deterioration of financial market liquidity, as well as in the event of sustained deterioration in the liquidity, or failure, of our clearing, cash management and custodial financial institutions. In particular, in the event of a major bank or credit card failure, we could be unable to process credit card transactions. In such a case, or if financial liquidity deteriorates for other reasons, our ability to operate our business and our financial condition and results of operations could be significantly harmed.

Lessee defaults could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Investors should expect some lessees to experience payment difficulties, particularly in difficult economic or operating environments. As a result of their financial condition and lack of liquidity, lessees may be significantly in arrears in their rental or maintenance payments. The airline industry is cyclical, economically sensitive and highly competitive, and our lessees are affected by several factors over which we and they have limited control, including: air passenger demand; changes in fuel costs, interest rates, foreign currency, inflation, labor difficulties, including pilot shortages, wage negotiations or other labor actions; increases in other operating costs, such as increased insurance costs, general economic conditions and governmental regulation and associated fees affecting the air transportation business. In recent years, the airline industry has been substantially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, geopolitical events such as changes in national policy or the imposition of sanctions, including new sanctions, trade barriers or tariffs, as well as events leading to political or economic instability such as war, prolonged armed conflict and acts of terrorism; epidemics, pandemics and natural disasters; availability of financing, including availability of governmental support; and airline financial health may also have an impact. Finally, our lessees may also be affected by aircraft accidents, in particular a loss if the aircraft is damaged or destroyed by an event specifically excluded from insurance policies such as dirty bombs, biohazardous materials and electromagnetic pulsing. These factors could cause our lessees to incur higher costs and to generate lower revenues which could adversely affect their ability to make lease payments or perform their maintenance obligations under the leases. In addition, lease default levels will likely increase over time if economic conditions deteriorate.

We may not correctly assess the credit risk of a lessee or that risk could change over time. We may not be able to charge risk-adjusted lease rates, and lessees may not be able to continue to perform their financial and other obligations under our leases in the future.

Many airlines received lease deferrals or other accommodations during the COVID-19 pandemic and we may agree to deferrals, restructurings and terminations in the ordinary course of our business with lessees in the future. If a lessee delays, reduces, or fails to make lease payments when due and if we are unable to agree on a lease payment deferral or lease restructuring and we elect to terminate the lease, we may not receive all or any payments still outstanding. While deferrals generally shift the timing of payments to a later period, restructurings and terminations generally permanently reduce lease revenue, and the associated reduction in lease revenue could negatively affect our business.

In the event that a lessee defaults under a lease, any security deposit paid or letter of credit provided by the lessee may not be sufficient to cover the lessee’s outstanding or unpaid lease obligations and required maintenance and transition expenses.

Significant costs resulting from lease defaults could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Although we have the right to repossess the aircraft and to exercise other remedies upon a lessee default, repossession of an aircraft would likely lead to significant costs for us. Those costs include legal and other expenses of court or other governmental proceedings, particularly if the lessee is contesting the proceedings, and costs to obtain possession and/or deregistration of the aircraft and flight and export permissions. Delays resulting from these proceedings would increase the period of time during which the aircraft is not generating revenue. We may incur maintenance, refurbishment or repair costs that a defaulting lessee has failed to incur or pay and that are necessary to put the aircraft in suitable condition for re-lease, sale, or induction into the
-42-

Table of Contents
Company’s fleet. We may also incur storage costs associated with aircraft that we repossess and are unable to sell, induct into our fleet, or place immediately with another lessee. We may be required to pay off liens, claims, taxes and other governmental charges to obtain clear possession, including, in some cases, liens that the lessee might have incurred in connection with the operation of its other aircraft. We could also incur other costs in connection with the physical possession of the aircraft.

We may suffer other adverse consequences due to a lessee default and the repossession of the aircraft. Our rights upon a lessee default vary significantly depending upon the jurisdiction and may include the need to obtain a court order for repossession of the aircraft and/or consents for deregistration or re-export of the aircraft. When a defaulting lessee is in bankruptcy, protective administration, insolvency or similar proceedings, additional limitations may apply. Certain jurisdictions give rights to the trustee in bankruptcy or a similar officer to assume or reject the lease or to assign it to a third party, or entitle the lessee or another third party to retain possession of the aircraft without paying lease rentals or without performing all of the obligations under the lease. There can be no assurance that jurisdictions that have adopted the Cape Town Convention, which provides for uniformity and certainty for repossession of aircraft, will enforce it as written. Our efforts to repossess our aircraft could be further complicated for lessees that are owned in whole or in part by, or are subsidized by, government-related entities. Accordingly, we may be delayed in, or prevented from, enforcing our rights under a lease and in re-leasing, inducting into our fleet, or selling the affected aircraft.

If we repossess an aircraft, we may not be able to export or deregister and profitably redeploy the aircraft in a timely manner or at all. Before an aviation authority will register an aircraft that has previously been registered in another country, it must receive confirmation that the aircraft has been deregistered by that country’s aviation authority. In order to deregister an aircraft, the lessee must comply with applicable laws and regulations, and the relevant governmental authority must enforce these laws and regulations. For instance, where a lessee or other operator flies only domestic routes in the jurisdiction in which the aircraft is registered, repossession may be more difficult, especially if the jurisdiction permits the lessee or the other operator to resist deregistration. We may also incur significant costs in retrieving or recreating aircraft records required for registration of the aircraft, and in obtaining a certificate of airworthiness for an aircraft. Upon a lessee default, we may incur significant costs in connection with repossessing our aircraft and we may be delayed in repossessing our aircraft or may be unable to obtain possession of our aircraft, which could have a materially adverse impact on our future revenue and cash flows.

Lessee defaults and reorganizations, bankruptcies or similar proceedings may result in lost revenue and additional costs.

From time to time, an airline may seek reorganization or protection from creditors under its local laws or may go into liquidation. Lessees may default on their lease obligations or file for bankruptcy or otherwise seek protection from creditors (collectively referred to as “bankruptcy”). Based on historical rates of airline defaults and bankruptcies, it’s possible that we will experience lessee defaults and bankruptcies.

If a lessee defaults on its lease or files for bankruptcy, the lessee may not make lease payments or may return aircraft to us before the lease expires. If a lessee files for bankruptcy with the intent of reorganizing its business, we may agree to adjust our lease terms, including reducing lease payments by a significant amount. Certain jurisdictions give rights to the trustee in a bankruptcy to assume or reject the lease or to assign it to a third party, or entitle the lessee or another third party to retain possession of the aircraft without paying lease rentals or performing all or some of the obligations under the relevant lease. If one or more airline bankruptcies result in a larger number of aircraft being available for purchase or lease over a short period of time, aircraft values and aircraft lease rates may be depressed, and additional grounded aircraft and lower market values could adversely affect our ability to sell our aircraft or lease or remarket our aircraft at favorable rates or at all.

As a result of the time and process involved with lessee reorganizations, bankruptcies or similar proceedings as described above, which can vary by airline and jurisdiction among other factors, we may experience lost revenue and additional costs.

-43-

Table of Contents
If our lessees encounter financial difficulties and we decide to restructure our leases with those lessees, this could result in less favorable leases and in significant reductions in our cash flow.

If a lessee is late in making payments or fails to make payments in full, we may elect to or be required to restructure the lease. Restructuring may involve anything from a simple rescheduling of payments to the termination of a lease without receiving all the past due amounts. If requests for payment restructuring or rescheduling are granted, reduced or deferred rental payments may be payable over all or some part of the remaining term of the lease, and the terms of any revised payment schedules may be unfavorable or such payments may not be made. We may be unable to agree upon acceptable terms for any requested restructurings and as a result may be forced to exercise our remedies under those leases and we may be unable to repossess our aircraft on a timely basis.

The terms and conditions of payment restructurings or reschedulings may adversely affect our cash flows.

Our lessees may fail to adequately insure our aircraft or fulfill their indemnity obligations, or we may not be able to adequately insure our aircraft, which may result in increased costs and liabilities.

When an aircraft is on lease, we do not directly control its operation. Nevertheless, because we hold title to the aircraft, we could be sued or held strictly liable for losses resulting from the operation of such aircraft, or may be held liable for losses on other legal theories or claims may be made against us as the owner of an aircraft requiring us to expend resources in our defense. As a result, we separately purchase contingent liability insurance and contingent hull insurance on all aircraft in our owned fleet. While we believe our insurance is adequate both as to coverages and amounts based on industry standards in the current market, we cannot assure you that we are adequately insured against all risks and in all territories in which our aircraft operate. For example, following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are now generally excluded from coverage in our contingent liability, contingent hull and contingent hull war insurance consistent with insurance market terms available at the time these policies were last renewed.

We also separately require our lessees to obtain specified levels of insurance customary in the aviation industry and indemnify us for, and insure against, liabilities arising out of the lessee’s use and operation of the aircraft. Lessees are also required to maintain all risks hull insurance, all risks property insurance, and war risks hull insurance on the aircraft at agreed upon levels. Lessees may fail to maintain adequate insurance coverage during a lease term, which, although in contravention of the lease terms, could necessitate our taking some corrective action such as terminating the lease or securing insurance for the aircraft. Moreover, even if our lessees retain specified levels of insurance, and indemnify us for, and insure against, liabilities arising out of their use and operation of the aircraft, we cannot assure you that we will not have any liability.

In addition, there are certain risks or liabilities that we or our lessees may face, for which insurers may be unwilling to provide coverage for, or the cost to obtain such coverage may be prohibitively expensive. For example, following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, aviation insurers significantly reduced the amount of insurance coverage available for claims resulting from acts of terrorism, war, dirty bombs, biohazardous materials, electromagnetic pulsing or similar events, and increased the premiums for such third-party war risk and terrorism liability insurance and coverage in general. Similarly, following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, aviation insurers have, in some cases, reduced the scope of insurance coverage provided by policies and increased insurance premiums. Accordingly, our or our lessees’ insurance coverage could be insufficient to cover all claims that could be asserted against us arising from the operation of our aircraft. Inadequate insurance coverage or default by lessees in fulfilling their indemnification or insurance obligations will reduce the proceeds that would be received by us if we are sued and are required to make payments to claimants. Moreover, our lessees’ insurance coverage is dependent on the financial condition of insurance companies, which might not be able to pay claims.

Our or our lessees’ failure to adequately insure our aircraft, or our lessees’ failure to fulfill their indemnity obligations to us, could reduce insurance proceeds otherwise payable to us in certain cases, and may result in increased costs and liabilities for our business.

A lessee’s failure to obtain required licenses, consents and approvals could negatively affect our ability to remarket, sell, or induct such aircraft into our fleet.

Airlines are subject to extensive regulation in the jurisdictions in which they are registered and operate. As a result, we expect some of our leases will require licenses, consents or approvals, including consents from governmental or regulatory authorities for certain payments under our leases and for the import, export or deregistration of aircraft. Subsequent changes in applicable law or administrative practice may require additional licenses and consents or result in revocation of prior licenses and consents.

Furthermore, consents needed in connection with our repossession or sale of an aircraft may be withheld. Any of these events could negatively affect our ability to remarket, sell, or induct such aircraft into our fleet.

Events outside of our control, including the threat or realization of epidemic diseases such as the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, war or armed hostilities between countries or non-state actors, may adversely affect the financial condition of our lessees and of the aviation industry more broadly, and may ultimately impact our business.

Air travel has historically been disrupted, sometimes severely, by the occurrence of unexpected events outside of our and our lessees’ control. The COVID-19 pandemic has recently impacted air travel and our results of operations. We may still experience other impacts from COVID-19 or another disease, such as weaker demand for used aircraft, lessee defaults, bankruptcies or reorganizations, delays in delivery of aircraft, and increased costs of borrowing. We cannot currently reasonably estimate the extent to which these events will impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, passenger demand for air travel has also been negatively impacted in the past by other epidemic diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome, bird flu, swine flu, the Zika virus, and Ebola. Future epidemic diseases and other diseases, or the fear of such events, could provoke responses that negatively affect passenger air travel. Air travel has also been disrupted in the past by terrorist attacks, war or armed hostilities between countries or non-state actors, including the fear of such events, and the occurrence of natural disasters and other natural phenomena, such as extreme weather conditions, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, which may become more frequent or severe as a result of climate change.

The occurrence of any such event, or multiple such events, could cause our lessees to experience decreased passenger demand, to incur higher costs and to generate lower revenues, which could adversely affect their ability to make lease payments to us, fulfill their maintenance obligations, or to obtain the types and amounts of insurance we require. This, in turn, could lead to lease restructurings and repossessions, impair our ability to remarket or otherwise dispose of aircraft on favorable terms or at all, or reduce the proceeds we receive for our aircraft in a disposition which may ultimately impact our business.

Export restrictions and tariffs may impact where we can place and deliver our aircraft and negatively impact our earnings and cash flows.

Existing export restrictions impact where we can place and deliver our aircraft. New export restrictions, including those implemented quickly or as a result of geopolitical events, may impact where we can place and deliver our aircraft or the ability of our lessees to operate our aircraft in certain jurisdictions, which may negatively impact our earnings and cash flows. For example, in early 2022, in connection with the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States, European Union, United Kingdom and others imposed economic sanctions and export controls against certain industry sectors and parties in Russia. These sanctions include closures of airspace for aircraft operated by Russian airlines, bans on the leasing or sale of aircraft to Russian controlled entities, bans on the export and re-export of aircraft and aircraft components to Russian controlled entities or for use in Russia, and corresponding prohibitions on providing technical assistance, brokering services, insurance and reinsurance, as well as financing or financial assistance.

Tariffs can also impact our ability to place and deliver aircraft. Our leases are primarily structured as triple net leases, whereby the lessee is responsible for all operating costs. As a result, increased tariffs will result in a higher cost for imported aircraft that our lessees may not be willing to assume and which could adversely impact
-45-

Table of Contents
demand for aircraft, creating an oversupply of aircraft and potentially placing downward pressure on lease rates and aircraft market values.

For example, in October 2019, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative announced a 10% tariff on new aircraft imported from Europe, including Airbus aircraft. In March 2020, the tariffs on aircraft were raised to 15%. In November 2020, the E.U. announced a 15% tariff on new aircraft imported into the E.U. from the U.S., including Boeing aircraft. In June 2021, the U.S. and the E.U. agreed to temporarily suspend all retaliatory tariffs related to new aircraft imports for five years.

We cannot predict what further actions may ultimately be taken with respect to export controls, tariffs or trade relations between the U.S. and other countries. Accordingly, it is difficult to predict exactly how, and to what extent, such actions may impact our business, or the business of our lessees or aircraft manufacturers. Any unfavorable government policies on international trade, such as export controls, capital controls or tariffs, may affect the demand for aircraft, increase the cost of aircraft components, delay production, or impact the competitive position of certain aircraft manufacturers. In turn, this may impact where we can place and deliver our aircraft, which may negatively impact our earnings and cash flows.

Changes in fuel costs could negatively affect our lessees, and by extension, the demand for our aircraft, which may negatively impact our earnings and cash flows.

Historically, fuel prices have fluctuated widely depending primarily on international market conditions, geopolitical and environmental events, and currency exchange rates. The cost of fuel represents a major expense that is not within the control of airlines, and significant increases in fuel costs or hedges that inaccurately assess the direction of fuel costs can adversely affect our and other airlines’ operating results. Due to the competitive nature of the aviation industry, operators may be unable to pass on increases in fuel prices to their customers by increasing fares in a manner that fully offsets increased fuel costs. In addition, operators may not be able to manage this risk by appropriately hedging their exposure to fuel price fluctuations. Airlines that do hedge their fuel costs can also be adversely affected by swift movements in fuel prices if such airlines are required as a result to post cash collateral under hedge agreements. Therefore, if fuel prices materially increase or show significant volatility, our lessees are likely to incur higher costs or generate lower revenues, which may affect their ability to meet their obligations to us. A sustained period of lower fuel costs may also adversely affect regional economies that depend on oil revenue, including those in which certain of our lessees operate. Should changes in fuel costs negatively affect our lessees or demand for our aircraft, our earnings and cash flows may be negatively impacted.

The appreciation of the U.S. dollar could negatively impact our lessees’ ability to honor the terms of their leases, which are denominated in U.S. dollars, and may result in lost revenues and reduced net income.

Lessees are exposed to currency risk due to the fact that they earn revenues in their local currencies while a significant portion of their liabilities and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, including their lease payments to us, as well as fuel, debt service, and other expenses. The ability of our lessees to make lease payments to us in U.S. dollars may be adversely impacted in the event of an appreciating U.S. dollar. This is particularly true for non-U.S. airlines whose operations are primarily domestic. Shifts in foreign exchange rates can be significant, are difficult to predict, and can occur quickly as evidenced by the significant appreciation of the U.S. dollar in 2022. Should our lessees be unable to honor the terms of their leases due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar, we may experience lost revenues and reduced net income.

Income and other taxes could negatively affect our business and operating results due to our multi-jurisdictional operations.

We operate in multiple jurisdictions and may become subject to a wide range of income and other taxes. If we are unable to execute our business in jurisdictions with favorable tax treatment, our operations may be subject to significant income and other taxes. Moreover, as our aircraft are operated by our lessees in multiple jurisdictions, we may have nexus or taxable presence as a result of our aircraft landings in various jurisdictions. Such landings may result in us being subject to various taxes in such jurisdictions. Further, any changes in tax laws in any of the jurisdictions that subject us to income or other taxes, such as increases in tax rates or
-46-

Table of Contents
limitations on our ability to deduct certain expenses from taxable income, such as depreciation expense and interest expense, could materially affect our tax obligations and effective tax rate.

Environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters may impose additional costs and expose us to new risks.

Public ESG and sustainability reporting is becoming more broadly expected by investors, shareholders, regulatory agencies and other third parties. Certain organizations that provide corporate governance and other corporate risk information to investors have developed, and others may in the future develop, scores and ratings to evaluate companies and investment funds based upon ESG or “sustainability” metrics. Many investment funds focus on positive ESG business practices and sustainability scores when making investments and may consider a company’s ESG or sustainability scores as a reputational or other factor in making an investment decision. In addition, investors, particularly institutional investors, use these scores to benchmark companies against their peers and if a company is perceived as lagging, these investors may engage with such company to improve ESG disclosure or performance and may also make voting decisions, or take other actions, to hold these companies and their boards of directors accountable. We may also face reputational damage in the event our corporate responsibility initiatives or objectives do not meet the standards set by our investors, shareholders, lawmakers, listing exchanges or other constituencies, or if we are unable to achieve an acceptable ESG or sustainability rating from third party rating services.

Risks and requirements related to transacting business in foreign countries may result in increased liabilities, including penalties and fines as well as reputational harm.

Our international business exposes us to trade and economic sanctions and other restrictions imposed by the United States or other governments or organizations. The U.S. Departments of Justice, Commerce, State and Treasury, and other foreign authorities have a broad range of civil and criminal penalties they may seek to impose against corporations and individuals for violations of economic sanctions laws, export control laws, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and other federal statutes and regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and those established by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), and similar or more restrictive foreign laws, rules and regulations, which may also apply to us. Under these laws and regulations, the government may require export licenses, or impose restrictions that would require modifications to business practices, including cessation of business activities in sanctioned countries or with sanctioned persons or entities, and modifications to compliance programs, which may increase compliance costs. Failure to implement changes may subject us to fines, penalties and other sanctions.

We have in place Company policies related to FCPA, OFAC, export controls and similar laws and regulations, but we cannot assure you that our employees, consultants, sales agents, or associates will not engage in unlawful conduct for which we may be held responsible or that our business partners will not engage in conduct that could affect their ability to perform their contractual obligations and result in our being held liable for such conduct. Violation of laws or regulations may result in increased liabilities including penalties and fines as well as reputational harm.

The Company’s business has been, and in the future may again be, materially and adversely impacted by extreme weather events. An inability to quickly and effectively restore operations following adverse weather or a localized disaster or disturbance in a key geography has adversely and materially impacted, and in the future could again adversely and materially impact, the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Depending on location, the Company’s assets, including aircraft on lease, and route network are or could be exposed to ongoing risks arising from a variety of adverse weather conditions or localized natural or manmade disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, wildfires, hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, floods, sea-level rise, severe winter weather, sustained or extreme cold or heat, drought, or other disturbances, actual or threatened. Extreme weather conditions, including increases in the frequency, severity, or duration of severe weather events (whether or not caused by anthropogenic climate change), can disrupt air travel from time to time, ground planes, damage equipment and increase maintenance costs, cause delays and cancellations or other network disruptions, require implementation of weight limitations due to increased temperatures, increase turbulence-related injuries, cause increases in fuel consumption to avoid such weather, disrupt the Company’s

supply chains (including fuel, parts, and service provider disruptions), and otherwise adversely affect the Company’s assets, operations, and infrastructure. These events can decrease revenue, increase costs, and adversely impact the Company’s financial condition. Prolonged interruptions or disruptions at airports can and do also adversely impact the Company’s business and results of operations. The Company also may incur significant costs to reestablish or relocate affected business functions, aircraft, and employees. Moreover, any resulting economic dislocations could adversely affect demand for the Company’s services, resulting in an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

(a)    Circumstances.

    (i)    Death. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death.

    (ii)    Termination with Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment with “Cause” upon (i) the Executive’s indictment for, conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, any (x) felony, (y) misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or (z) other crime involving either fraud or a breach of the Executive’s duty of loyalty with respect to the Company or any affiliates thereof, or any of its customers or suppliers, (ii) the Executive’s failure to perform duties as reasonably directed by the President & Chief Financial Officer of the Company after written notice thereof and failure to cure within ten (10) business days of receipt of the written notice, (iii) the Executive’s fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement (whether or not in connection with employment), or material misuse of funds or property belonging to the Company or any of its affiliates, (iv) the Executive’s willful violation of the policies of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or gross negligence in connection with the performance of his duties, after written notice thereof and failure to cure within ten (10) business days of receipt of written notice, (v) the Executive's use of alcohol that interferes with the performance of the Executive's duties or use of illegal drugs, if either (A) the Executive fails to obtain treatment within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice thereof or (B) the Executive obtains treatment and, following Executive’s return to work, the Executive’s use of alcohol again interferes with the performance of the Executive’s duties or the Executive again uses illegal drugs, (vi) the Executive’s material breach of this Agreement, and failure to cure such breach within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice, or (vii) the Executive’s breach of the confidentiality or non-disparagement provisions (excluding unintentional breaches that are cured within ten (10) days after the Executive becomes aware of such breaches, to the extent curable) or the non- competition and non-solicitation provisions to which the Executive is subject (including, without limitation, under Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement). If, within thirty (30) days subsequent to the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason other than by the Company for Cause, the Company discovers facts such that the Executive's termination of employment could have been for Cause, the Executive's termination of employment will be deemed to have been for Cause for all purposes, and the Executive will be required to disgorge to the Company all amounts received under this Agreement, all equity awards or otherwise that would not have been payable to the Executive had such termination of employment been by the Company for Cause.

    (iii)    Termination without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment without Cause.

Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or by the Executive under this Section 3 (other than termination pursuant to Section 3(a)(i)) shall be communicated by a written notice (a “Notice of Termination”) to the other party hereto specifying a date for termination in accordance with the applicable provision (“Date of Termination”).

(c)    Termination of All Positions. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive agrees to resign, as of the Date of Termination or such other date requested by the Company, from all positions and offices that the Executive then holds with the Company and its affiliates. The Executive agrees to promptly execute such documents as the Company, in its sole discretion, shall reasonably deem necessary to effect such resignations, and in the event that the Executive is unable or unwilling to execute any such document, Executive hereby grants his proxy to any officer of the Company to so execute on his behalf.

(d)    Suspension of Duties. The Company reserves the right to bar the Executive from the offices of the Company or any of its affiliates and to require that the Executive refrain from undertaking all or any of the Executive’s duties.

4.    Company Obligations upon Termination of Employment.

Upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive (or the Executive’s estate) shall be entitled to receive (i) any amount of the Executive’s Annual Base Salary earned through the Date of Termination not theretofore paid, (ii) any Annual Bonus (and if applicable, any Long-Term Incentive) for the year prior to the year in which the Date of Termination occurred, that was earned but not yet paid, and (iii) any amount arising from the Executive’s participation in, or benefits under, any employee benefit plans, programs, or arrangements under Section 2(g) (other than severance plans, programs, or arrangements), which amounts shall be payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of such employee benefit plans, programs, or arrangements including, where applicable, any death and disability benefits (the “Accrued Obligations”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, upon a termination by the Company with Cause, the Accrued Obligations shall not include the amount set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

(b)    Termination without Cause. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause pursuant to Section 3(a)(iii), the Company shall, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, continue to pay the Annual Base Salary in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices during the period beginning on the Date of Termination and ending on the earlier to occur of (A) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Date of Termination and
(B) the first date that the Executive violates any covenant contained herein or in the Release (as hereafter defined), after receipt of written notice thereof and expiration of a 10 business day cure period; provided, however, the installment payments payable pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall commence on the first payroll period following the effective date of the Release (as defined below), and the initial installment shall include a lump-sum payment of all amounts accrued under this Section 5(b) from the Date of Termination through the date of such initial payment.
4



(c)    Release. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the amounts payable to the Executive under Sections 4(b), other than the Accrued Obligations, shall be contingent upon and subject to the Executive’s (or the Executive’s estate, if applicable) execution and non- revocation of a general waiver and release of claims agreement in the Company’s customary form, which in any case shall include a 12 month (i) non-competition, non-solicitation, and non-hire clause; and (ii) nondisclosure, nondisparagement, and intellectual property protection clause, each in the Company’s standard form (the “Release”) (and the expiration of any applicable revocation period), on or prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following the Date of Termination.

(d)    Survival. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the expiration or termination of the Term shall not impair the rights or obligations of any party hereto, which shall have accrued prior to such expiration or termination.

8.    Entire Agreement. The terms of this Agreement (together with any other agreements and instruments expressly contemplated hereby or referred to herein) are intended by the parties hereto to be the final expression of their agreement with respect to the employment of the Executive by the Company and its affiliates and to supersede any and all prior employment agreements, offer letters, severance agreements and similar agreements, plans, provisions, understandings or arrangements, whether written or oral, and all such prior agreements, plans, provisions, understandings or arrangements shall be null and void in their entirety and of no further force or effect.

9.    Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the Executive and a duly authorized officer of the Company (other than the Executive). By an instrument in writing similarly executed and similarly identifying the waived compliance, the Executive or a duly authorized officer of the Company (other than the Executive) may waive compliance by the other party or parties with any provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform; provided, however, that such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other or subsequent failure to comply or perform. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, remedy, or power provided herein or by law or in equity.

10.    Enforcement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable, this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision were never a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement.

    (iii)    If an LTV Prepayment Event with respect to any Aircraft occurs, the Company shall partially prepay the Loan related to such Aircraft, and any accrued interest on such Loan, such that such LTV Prepayment Event is no longer continuing.

    (B)    after giving effect to paragraph (A) above, so much of such payments or amounts remaining as shall be required to pay in full the aggregate unpaid principal of all Loans, and the accrued but unpaid interest thereon,
27


Breakage Costs, if any, with respect to the Loans and all other amounts then due, shall be distributed to the Lenders, and in case the aggregate amount so to be distributed shall be insufficient to pay in full as aforesaid, then ratably, without priority of one over the other, in the proportion that the aggregate unpaid principal of all Loans held by each Lender plus the accrued but unpaid interest thereon, Breakage Costs, if any, and other amounts then due bears to the aggregate unpaid principal of all Loans held by all such Lenders, plus the accrued but unpaid interest, Breakage Costs, if any, and other amounts then due; and

    (a)    Funding By Lenders. Unless the Facility Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of a Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Facility Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Facility Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available at such time in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of such Borrowing available to the Facility Agent, then the applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Facility Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Company until the date of payment to the Facility Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Facility Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

28


    (b)    Payments by Company. Unless the Facility Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Facility Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Company will not make such payment, the Facility Agent may assume that the Company has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.

4.06    Set-Off; Sharing of Payments.
    (a)    Set-Off Generally. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and any and all other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Company against any and all of the obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Operative Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Operative Document and although such obligations of the Company may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 4.06(a) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender and its Affiliates may have.
    (b)    Sharing Among Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on its Loan or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the amount of its Loan and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Agents of such fact, and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(x)    if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(y)    the provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to apply to (I) any payment made by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (II) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in its Loan to an assignee or Participant, other than to the Company or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply).
29


The Company consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Company rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.
    (c)    Exercise of Rights Not Required. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Company.
Section 5.Yield Protection, Etc.
5.01    Increased Costs.
    (a)    Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
    (i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D)), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; or
    (ii)    subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Taxes described in clause (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto); or
    (iii)    impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Loan of such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
    (b)    Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Loan of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
    (c)    Certificates for Reimbursement.
30


    (i)    A certificate of any Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay to such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
    (ii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Company be required to make payments under this Section 5.01: (A) if a claim hereunder in respect of an increased cost covered by this Section 5.01 arises through circumstances peculiar to the affected Lender and that do not affect similarly organized commercial banking institutions in the same jurisdiction generally that are in compliance with the law, rule, regulation or interpretation giving rise to the Change in Law relating to such increased cost; (B) if the affected Lender shall fail to comply with its obligations under this Section 5.01; or (C) if the claim arises out of circumstances measured at the time of a voluntary relocation by such Lender of its Applicable Lending Office; (D) if the claim is in respect of or attributable to Taxes (the indemnifications for which are set out solely in Section 5.05); (E) if any amounts claimed thereunder are imposed by reason of the willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence of such Lender or its Affiliates; or (F) if the affected Lender does not certify that it is also exercising rights similar to those set forth in this Section 5.01 in at least one other similar financing transaction with a similarly situated borrower where such Lender is entitled to then exercise such similar rights.
    (d)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 200 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 200-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
5.02    Market Disruption Event. Subject to Section 5.07, if on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
    (a)    the Facility Agent, acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders, determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on all parties) that Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof for such Interest Period; or
    (b)    either an initial Lender or, following an assignment of all or a portion of the initial Lenders’ Loans, the Majority Lenders, each acting in good faith, certifies to the Facility Agent (i) that Term SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making and maintaining its Loan (or their Loans) for such Interest Period and that such event has not arisen as a result of circumstances specific to such Lender, (ii) that such Lender is exercising rights similar to those set forth in this Section 5.02 in at least one other similar financing transaction with a similarly situated borrower where such Lender is entitled to then exercise such similar rights, and (iii) the cost of funding such Lender’s Loan for such Interest Period, then the Facility Agent shall give notice thereof (a “Market Disruption Notice”) to the Company and the Market Disruption Affected Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter and until the Facility Agent notifies the Company and the Market Disruption Affected Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such Market Disruption Notice no longer exist, the ordinary rate of interest on the Loan of each Market Disruption Affected Lender shall be the rate notified by that Market Disruption Affected Lender to the Facility Agent, as soon as practicable, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum its cost of funding an amount equal to its participation
31


in that Loan (in place of Adjusted Term SOFR) plus the Applicable Margin. The cost of funding certified by a Market Disruption Affected Lender to the Facility Agent and the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
The initial Lenders acknowledge and agree that they will not invoke a Market Disruption Event on the basis of market conditions on the initial Funding Date hereunder.
5.03    Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make or maintain its Loan (and, in the opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender) (an “Illegality Event”), then such Lender shall promptly notify the Company thereof (with a copy to the Facility Agent) following which, at the Company’s election as notified to such Lender and the Facility Agent, either (i) the Company shall prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Loan, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement on or before such date as shall be mandated by such Illegality Event or (ii) the Company and such Lender shall negotiate for a period of 30 days in an effort to mitigate such Illegality Event. If, after such mitigation period, such Illegality Event cannot be resolved and if requested by such Lender, such Lender’s Commitment shall terminate and the Company shall, within 10 Business Days from the end of such period, prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Loan, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement on or before such date as shall be mandated by such Illegality Event; provided that prior to requesting prepayment by the Company of such Lender’s Loan after such mitigation period as a result of such Illegality Event, such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign its portion of the Loan (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.04) to an assignee that is not impacted by such Illegality Event and, if such Lender is not able to assign its portion of the Loan after such commercially reasonable efforts, the Company shall prepay such Lender’s Loan in accordance with this Section 5.03 and no Breakage Costs shall be payable by the Company in the event of a prepayment under this Section 5.03.
5.04    Break-Funding. (a) The Company shall pay to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Facility Agent, such amount or amounts (if any) as shall be sufficient to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender determines is attributable to:
    (i)    any prepayment of its Loan for any reason on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period, except in connection with a prepayment pursuant to Section 5.03; or
    (ii)    the failure by the Company for any reason (including the failure of any of the conditions precedent specified in Section 6 to be satisfied) to borrow the Borrowing on the date specified in the Notice of Borrowing given pursuant to Section 2.02, or to prepay any Loan in accordance with a notice of prepayment under Section 3.03; or
    (iii)    the assignment of any of its Loans other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 5.06(b); or
    (iv)    any acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9;
32


including, in each case, any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds or from any fees payable.
    (b)    Each Lender will furnish to the Company a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under this Section 5.04, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
5.05    Taxes.
    (a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Company or Facility Agent shall be required by applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Company or Facility Agent) to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including deductions for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) each Agent and each Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes been made, (ii) the Company or the Facility Agent, as applicable, shall make such deductions and (iii) the Company or the Facility Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
    (b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Company and the Guarantor.

    (i)    Tax Indemnity. The Company and the Guarantor shall pay, and, upon written demand, shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold each Tax Indemnitee harmless from, all Taxes that may from time to time be imposed on or asserted against any Tax Indemnitee (x) upon or with respect to the Collateral, or the income or proceeds therefrom, or (y) arising from the execution, delivery or enforcement of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Note, or any payment by the Company and the Guarantor pursuant thereto, or otherwise in respect of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or Note.
    (ii)    Exceptions to Tax Indemnity. The provisions of paragraph (b)(i) above shall not apply to, and the Company and the Guarantor shall have no liability hereunder for Taxes:
    (A)    to the extent such Taxes result directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Tax Indemnitee or its Tax Indemnitee Related Parties as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment;
    (B)    resulting from, or that would not have been imposed but for, any Liens arising as a result of claims against, or acts or omissions of, or otherwise attributable to any Tax Indemnitee or its Tax Indemnitee Related Parties unless such Liens, claims, acts or omissions are primarily and directly attributable to the Company, the Guarantor or a Company Affiliate;
    (C)    imposed as a result of the breach by any Tax Indemnitee or its Tax Indemnitee Related Parties of any covenant, representation or warranty of such Tax Indemnitee or its Tax Indemnitee Related Parties contained in or made pursuant to any Loan Document or the inaccuracy of any representation or
33


warranty by any Tax Indemnitee or its Tax Indemnitee Related Parties contained in or made pursuant to any Loan Document;
    (D)    other than during or as a result of the continuation of an Event of Default, to the extent attributable to the authorization or giving or withholding of any future amendments, supplements, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document other than such as have been requested by the Company or as are required by or made pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document (unless such requirement results from the actions of a Tax Indemnitee not required by or made pursuant to the Loan Document);
    (E)    to the extent attributable to any amount which any Tax Indemnitee expressly agrees in writing to pay or expressly agrees in writing shall not be paid by or be reimbursed by the Company;
    (F)    that are Excluded Taxes;
    (G)    which are imposed with respect to a voluntary or involuntary transfer by any Tax Indemnitee of a Loan Document, or any interest in any thereof, provided, however, that this clause (G) shall not apply in the case of any transfer which occurs while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or that is primarily and directly attributable to the Company, the Guarantor or a Company Affiliate or is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law as the result of a Change in Law;
    (H)    that are in the nature of net income taxes payable by any Agent in respect of the fees, commissions, or compensation payable to the Agent for services rendered in its capacity as an Agent;
    (I)    that are imposed on any transferee of a Tax Indemnitee (a) if, pursuant to the law in effect at the time of the transfer, such Taxes would not have been imposed on the transferor Tax Indemnitee, or (b) to the extent such Taxes, pursuant to the law in effect at the time of the transfer, exceed the amount of Taxes that would have been imposed on the transferor Tax Indemnitee;
    (J)    to the extent that such Taxes are imposed or increased as a result of the failure of any Tax Indemnitee to provide, upon reasonable request of the Company and to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, any certification (or form certifying) as to its nationality, residence or identity that is required by applicable law and under such applicable law would reduce or eliminate the amount of Taxes; or
    (K)    that are imposed on a Tax Indemnitee related to ERISA or by section 4975 of the Code or as a result of the occurrence of any prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA (and any corresponding civil penalties payable under ERISA).
    (c)    Indemnification by the Company. The Company and the Guarantor shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) for which it is responsible pursuant to any Loan Document and paid by such Agent or such Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
34


relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender or the Security Trustee (in each case with a copy to the Facility Agent), or by the Facility Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Security Trustee, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
    (d)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which it is responsible by the Company or the Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, the Company shall deliver to the Facility Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent.
    (e)    Forms. Prior to the initial Funding Date, the Facility Agent shall provide to the Company with two Internal Revenue Service forms W-9, W-8BEN, W-BEN-E, W-8ECI and/or W-8IMY, as applicable, with required attachments. In addition, each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of any Lender that is a signatory under the caption “LENDERS” on the signature page hereto and on the effective date of the applicable Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Company (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Facility Agent and the Company with two original Internal Revenue Service forms W-9, W-8BEN, W-BEN-E, W-8ECI and/or W-8IMY, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on interest payments pursuant to this Agreement and the Notes. In addition, any Lender that is not resident for tax purposes in the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident for such purposes and is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to interest payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall, to the extent legally able to do so, use reasonable efforts to deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Facility Agent), (i) in the case of any Lender that is a signatory under the caption “LENDERS” on the signature pages hereto, on or prior to the Effective Date and (ii) in the case of any other Lender, on or prior to the effective date of the applicable assignment, and in any event no later than at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or Facility Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that nothing herein shall obligate any Lender to disclose any confidential information in connection therewith. For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Company with the appropriate form described in this Section 5.05(e) (other than if such failure is due to a Change in Law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided, or if such form otherwise is not required under this Section 5.05(e)), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 5.05 or with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure.
    (f)    Refunds. If an Agent or Lender, or other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Company or the Guarantor hereunder determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company or the Guarantor or with respect to which the Company or the Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.05, it shall (provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) pay over such refund to the Company or the Guarantor (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Company or the Guarantor under this Section 5.05 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent, Lender or other recipient (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as determined by
35


the Agent, Lender or other recipient in its sole good faith discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, upon the request of such Agent, Lender or other recipient agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to the Company or the Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent, Lender, or other recipient in the event such Agent, Lender, or other recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 5.05 shall not be construed to require any Agent, Lender or other recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Company, the Guarantor or any other person.
This Section 5.05 shall not interfere with the right of any Agent, Lender or other recipient to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit.
5.06    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
    (a)    Designation of a Different Applicable Lending Office. If any Lender (i) requests compensation under Section 5.01, (ii) requires the Company to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.05, or (iii) requires the Company to pay interest to any Lender at a higher rate pursuant to Section 5.02, the Company may request that such Lender use and, then, in each case, such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the amount or amounts owing to such Lender by designating a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Loan hereunder or assigning its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (A) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01, 5.05 or 5.02, as the case may be, in the future and (B) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
    (b)    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01, if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.05, or if the Company is required to pay interest to any Lender at a higher rate pursuant to Section 5.02, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon three Business Days (which shall also be U.S. Government Securities Business Days) written notice to such Lender and the Facility Agent, require such Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes to an Eligible Assignee identified by the Company that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
    (i)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loan, accrued interest thereon, including increased costs due pursuant to Section 5.01, any additional amounts due under Section 5.05 and all other amounts payable to it under the Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.04 as if such Loan were prepaid in full) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts);
    (ii)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.01, payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.05 or payment of interest to be made at a higher rate pursuant to Section 5.02, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
36


    (iii)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable law.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment cease to apply.
5.07    Benchmark Replacement Setting.
    (a)    Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Facility Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Facility Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Company so long as the Facility Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 5.07(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
    (b)    Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Facility Agent, following consultation with the Company, will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
    (c)    Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Facility Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Facility Agent will promptly notify the Company of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 5.07(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Facility Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 5.07, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 5.07.
    (d)    Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Facility Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is no longer or will not be representative, then the Facility Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not
37


or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Facility Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
    (e)    Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any Notice of Borrowing.

Once deposited in the Collections Account, the Security Trustee shall release any LC Holdback Amount from the Collections Account at the direction of the Lenders, who shall provide such direction (i) at their discretion to apply such LC Holdback Amount in accordance herewith during the continuation of an Event of Default; and (ii) upon request of the Company upon provision of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.11. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any LC Holdback Amount shall not be applied in accordance with the waterfall provisions hereof, and shall only be applied as specified above. All proceeds of any drawing on a Letter of Credit shall be deposited in the Collections Account.
8.12    KYC. The Company shall provide, or shall cause the Guarantor or the Servicer to provide, from time to time such documents as the Security Trustee, the Facility Agent, the Account Bank or any Lender may reasonably request, in order to satisfy the “know your customer” rules, guidelines, practices or policies observed by the Security Trustee, the Facility Agent, the Account Bank or such Lender.

Section 10.Guarantee.
10.01    The Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby guarantees to each Lender and the Agents and their respective successors and assigns (a) the prompt payment in full when due (whether at
52


stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on the Loans made by the Lenders to the Company and all other amounts from time to time owing to the Lenders or the Agents by the Company under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents and (b) all obligations of the Company to any Lender (or any affiliate of any Lender) and to the Agents under the Operative Documents (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantor hereby further agrees that if the Company shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantor will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
For purposes hereof, it is understood that any Guaranteed Obligations to any Person arising under an agreement entered into at a time such Person (or an affiliate thereof) is party hereto as a Lender shall continue to constitute Guaranteed Obligations, notwithstanding that such Person (or its affiliate) has ceased to be a Lender party hereto (by assigning all of its Commitments, Loans, and other interests herein) at the time a claim is to be made in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations.
10.02    Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantor under Section 10.01 are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, irrespective of any law, regulation, decree or order of any jurisdiction affecting any term of any Guaranteed Obligations or the Lenders’ or Agents’ rights with respect thereto, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 10.02 that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
    (i)    at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
    (ii)    any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be done or omitted;
    (iii)    the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or
    (iv)    any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Agents or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected.
53


The Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Facility Agent, the Company under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
10.03    Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 10 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Company in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
10.04    Subrogation. The Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement they shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by them of their guarantee in Section 10.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
10.05    Remedies. The Guarantor agrees that, as between the Guarantor and the Lenders, the obligations of the Company under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 9) for purposes of Section 10.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Company and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Company) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for purposes of Section 10.01.
10.06    Instrument for the Payment of Money. The Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 10 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or any Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by the Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to proceed by motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to N.Y. Civ. Prac. L&R § 3213.
10.07    Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 10 is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
10.08    General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of the Guarantor under Section 10.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 10.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantor, any Lender, the Security Trustee, the Facility Agent or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
54


Section 11.The Agents.
11.01    Appointment and Authority; Certain Security Trustee Actions.
    (a)    Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby appoints each Agent to act on its behalf as the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or the Account Bank, as applicable, hereunder and under the other Operative Documents and authorizes each Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and, except as expressly specified in the second sentence of Section 11.06, the Company shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
    (b)    Certain Security Trustee Actions.
    (i)    Before the Security Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may, in the absence of instructions from the Facility Agent or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be, require an officer’s certificate of the Company and/or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Security Trustee with respect to the proposed action or inaction. The Security Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion. Whenever in the administration of any Operative Document the Security Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be provided or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any act hereunder or under any of the other Operative Documents, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein or therein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Security Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate of an officer of the Company delivered to the Security Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Security Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Security Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of any Operative Document upon the faith thereof.
    (ii)    In each case that the Security Trustee may or is required hereunder or under any other Operative Document to take any action, including to make any determination or judgment, to give consents, to exercise rights, remedies, powers or privileges, to release or sell collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any other Operative Document, the Security Trustee may seek direction from the Facility Agent or the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided herein or in the other Operative Documents). The Security Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction from the Facility Agent or the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided herein or in the other Operative Documents). If the Security Trustee shall request direction from the Facility Agent or the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided herein or in the other Operative Documents) with respect to any action, the Security Trustee shall be entitled to refrain from such action unless and until the Security Trustee shall have received direction from the Facility Agent or the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided herein or in the other Operative Documents), and the Security Trustee shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. So long as a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Facility Agent shall promptly send to each Lender a copy of any written communications received from the Security Trustee by it during such period.
55


11.02    Rights as a Lender.
    (a)    Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
    (b)    Each Lender understands that each Person serving as an Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, an “Agent Group”) is engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 11.02 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Company or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, each Agent Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Company and its Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Company or its Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Company or their Affiliates. Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, each Agent Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Company or its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of an Agent Group. Neither any Person serving as an Agent nor any other member of an Agent Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, nor be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, Property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as applicable, shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as applicable, to the Lenders.
    (c)    Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of an Agent Group or their respective customers (including the Company and its Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder and under the other Operative Documents). Each Lender agrees that no member of an Agent Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of any Person serving as an Agent being a member of an Agent Group, and that each member of an Agent Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Operative Document, (ii) the receipt by an Agent Group of information (including Information) concerning the Company or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Company to perform their respective obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Documents) or (iii) any other matter, shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including any duty of trust or confidence) owing by any Agent or any member of an Agent Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict an Agent Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Company or its Affiliates) or for its own account.
56


11.03    Duties of Agents; Exculpatory Provisions.
    (a)    The Agents’ duties hereunder and under the other Operative Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and no Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Operative Documents and no duties or obligations shall be implied. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Operative Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its good faith opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to any Operative Document or applicable law. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Operative Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take, or refraining from taking any such action. No Agent shall be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any other Operative Document.
    (b)    No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Operative Documents, including Sections 9 or 12.03) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until the Company or any Lender shall have given notice to such Agent describing such Default or Event of Default.
    (c)    No Agent nor any member of an Agent Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Operative Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Operative Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created by any Security Document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 6 or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Facility Agent.
    (d)    Nothing in this Agreement or any other Operative Document shall require any Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to each Agent that such Lender is solely responsible for any such checks such Lender is required to carry out and that such Lender may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by such Agent or any of its Related Parties.
11.04    Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by such Agent to be genuine and to have been signed,
57


sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by such Agent to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Loans that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless an officer of such Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of the Loans and, in the case of a Borrowing, such Lender shall not have made available to the Facility Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
11.05    Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Operative Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent who shall use reasonable care in the selection and appointment of such sub-agent(s). Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Each such sub-agent and the Related Parties of each Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 11 and Section 13.02 (as though such sub-agents were an “Agent” under the Operative Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
11.06    Resignation of Agents. Each Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Company and any Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Lenders. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right (so long as no Special Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 60 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation or the Majority Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent (such 60-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders (so long as no Special Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Agent, the retiring Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Agent and the effective date of such retiring Agent’s resignation or removal, which effective date shall be no earlier than three Business Days after the date of such notice, provided that any resignation of the Security Trustee shall not become effective until appropriate steps have been taken in order to preserve the Collateral. Upon the resignation or removal effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective provided that any resignation of the Security Trustee shall not become effective until appropriate steps have been taken in order to preserve the Collateral and (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent hereunder and under the other Operative Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such retiring Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Agent to such retiring Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and duties as Agent of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Agent hereunder or under the other Operative Documents
58


(if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Operative Documents, the provisions of this Section 11 and Section 13.02 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.
11.07    Non-Reliance on Agents or Other Lenders.
    (a)    Each Lender confirms to each Agent, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on such Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making its Loans hereunder and (z) taking or not taking actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making its Loan hereunder and under the other Operative Documents is suitable and appropriate for it.
    (b)    Each Lender acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Operative Documents, (ii) it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information, as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement and the other Operative Documents based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:
    (i)    the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Company and the Guarantor;
    (ii)    the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and each other Operative Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Operative Document;
    (iii)    determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of its Loans and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition;
    (iv)    the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information delivered by any Agent, any other Lender or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Operative Document, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Operative Document.
11.08    Force Majeure. The Agents shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any Operative Document
59


arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation: acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; wars; acts of terrorism; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemic; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental action; it being understood that the Security Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts which are consistent with current accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

62


each Indemnitee agrees to cooperate, as far as commercially practicable and at the Company’s expense, with the insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise such claim as may be required to retain the benefits of such insurance with respect to such claim.

    (b)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
    (i)    Minimum Amounts.
    (A)    in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loan at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or a member of the European System of Central Banks or of a Federal Reserve Bank, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
    (B)    in any case not described in clause (A) above, the principal outstanding balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Facility Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
    (ii)    Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan assigned.

    (iv)    Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Facility Agent an Assignment and Assumption and the assignee, if it is not already a Lender, shall deliver to the Facility Agent a tax form as required under Section 5.05.
    (v)    No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.
64


    (vi)    No Assignment to Cause Higher Cost. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein the Company shall not be obliged to pay or indemnify for any amount representing a higher cost to the Company resulting from any increased costs or other amounts payable under Section 5.01, any increased amount payable under Section 5.02(a), or withholding tax or other amounts payable under Section 5.05 in each case arising as a result of an assignment that causes any such cost to increase by reference to any actual or proposed circumstance applicable the assignee (that does not apply to the assignor) or Change in Law that applies to the assignee (but not the assignor), in each case as measured at the date of the assignment.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 13.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement except for its obligations under Section 12.02 (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5 and 12.02 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 13.04.
    (c)    Register. The Facility Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the principal amounts of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and the interest rate on the Loans (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and the Company, the Guarantor, each Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In order for an assignment to be recorded in the Register prior to any Payment Date, such assignment must have been received by the Facility Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Payment Date. Any assignment received by the Facility Agent less than five (5) business days before a Payment Date shall instead be recorded in the Register after such Payment Date. In connection with any assignment, the Company shall pay to the Facility Agent a processing fee of $1,500 for each assignment, such amount to be payable on the Payment Date next succeeding such assignment.
    (d)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Facility Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Company, the Guarantor or any of the Company’s or the Guarantor’s Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Company, the Guarantor, each Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein the Company shall not be obliged to pay or indemnify for any amount representing a higher cost to the Company resulting from any increased costs or other amounts payable under Section 5.01, any increased amount
65


payable under Section 5.02(a), or withholding tax or other amounts payable under Section 5.05 in each case arising as a result of a participation that causes any such cost to increase by reference to any actual or proposed circumstance applicable the Participant (that does not apply to the related Lender) or Change in Law that applies to the Participant (but not the related Lender), in each case as measured at the date of the participation.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) increase or extend the term of such Lender’s Loan, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loan or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive such interest, or (v) release any Property covered by any Security Document, except in connection with Dispositions permitted hereunder or as otherwise provided herein or in the Security Documents. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Facility Agent (in its capacity as Facility Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
    (e)    Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that such pledge or assignment shall be at no cost to the Company and no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
13.05    Survival. The obligations of the Company under Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.04, 5.05, 11, 12.02 and 13.02, and the obligations of the Lenders under Sections 11, 12.02 and 13.02, shall survive the resignation or removal of any Agent, the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments and, in the case of any Lender that may assign any interest in its Loan hereunder, shall survive, in the case of any event or circumstance that occurred prior to the effective date of such assignment, the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that such assigning Lender may cease to be a “Lender” hereunder. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a notice of any Loan, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty.
13.06    Captions. The table of contents and captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.
13.07    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

68


    (d)    Each of the Company and the Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee and the Lenders that: (i) neither it nor any of its directors or officers or, to its knowledge, Affiliates, employees or agents is a Sanctioned Person; (ii) it has not in the past five years knowingly engaged in any activity or conduct which would constitute a material violation of any applicable Anti-Money Laundering Laws, applicable Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions; and (iii) it has instituted and maintains and enforces policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance with such laws.

    (h)    The usage of the term “Sanctions” (and any clauses in this Agreement which make use of the same) in this Agreement only shall apply, in relation to any Lender (a “Restricted Lender”) that is situated in the European Union, to the extent that the usage of such term in any particular provision of this Agreement does not result in any violation of or conflict with any Blocking Regulation applicable to that Restricted Lender, but without in any way limiting the applicability or effectiveness of any applicable provision as between the other Lenders, the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee and the Company. In connection with any waiver, determination or direction relating to any provisions which do not apply for the benefit of a Restricted Lender by virtue of the foregoing sentence (but not with respect to any other parts which do apply for the benefit of a Restricted Lender), the parties hereto agree that the Commitment of that Restricted Lender will be excluded for the purpose of determining whether the consent of the Majority Lenders has been granted. The parties hereto agree that this Section 13.15(h) may not be amended without the prior written consent of any Restricted Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Facility Agent and the other parties to this Agreement other than such Restricted Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively, without independent investigation or verification, on the written notice by a Restricted Lender to the Facility Agent promptly after a waiver, determination or direction is sought pursuant to the Operative Documents that such Restricted Lender’s Commitment shall be excluded with respect to such specified waiver, determination or direction in accordance with the foregoing sentence. No party to this Agreement other than such Restricted Lender shall have any duty to inquire or determine if this Section 13.15(h) shall apply with respect to any waiver, determination or direction of any
69


Restricted Lender (whether or not any other Restricted Lender shall have notified the Facility Agent as to its application as to such other Restricted Lender) and, if the Facility Agent shall not have received a written notice from a Restricted Lender instructing it to exclude such Restricted Lender’s Commitments in accordance with the prior sentence with respect to a particular waiver, determination or direction, the Facility Agent and the other parties to this Agreement shall determine whether the requisite Lenders have provided consent to a waiver, determination or direction as if such Restricted Lender’s Commitment were required to be included in the calculation of the requisite majority of Lenders.
13.16    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
    (a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
