PRELIMINARY NOTE

This Interim Report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Interim Report and with our Annual Report on Form 20-F, for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and are presented in U.S. Dollars. These statements and discussion below contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements contained in this Interim Report that are not historical facts, as well as statements identified by words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” or words of similar meaning. Such statements address future events and conditions concerning matters such as, but not limited to, our earnings, cash flow, liquidity and capital resources, compliance with debt and other restrictive financial and operating covenants, interest rates, dividends, and acquisitions and dispositions of aircraft and other aviation assets. These statements are based on current beliefs or expectations and are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and changes in circumstances, many of which are beyond our control. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory factors. Additional or unforeseen effects from the COVID-19 pandemic and the global economic climate may give rise to or amplify many of these factors. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to those described in Part II “Other Information – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Interim Report and under Item 3 “Key Information — Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 20-F, for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, we undertake no obligation to update these forward looking statements to reflect events, developments or circumstances after the date of this document, a change in our views or expectations, or to reflect the occurrence of future events.

Unless the context requires otherwise, when used in this Interim Report, (1) the term “Fly” refers to Fly Leasing Limited; (2) the terms “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Fly and its subsidiaries; (3) the term “B&B Air Funding” refers to our subsidiary, Babcock & Brown Air Funding I Limited; (4) all references to our shares refer to our common shares held in the form of American Depositary Shares, or ADSs; (5) the term “BBAM LP” refers to BBAM Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries and affiliates; (6) the term “BBAM” refers to BBAM Aircraft Management LP, BBAM Aircraft Management (Europe) Limited, BBAM Aviation Services Limited and BBAM US LP, collectively; and (7) the term “Manager” refers to Fly Leasing Management Co. Limited, the Company’s manager.

All percentages and weighted average characteristics of the aircraft in our portfolio have been calculated using net book values as of the date specified.

Fly Leasing Limited

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 (unaudited)
 
1. ORGANIZATION

Fly Leasing Limited (“Fly”) is a Bermuda exempted company that was incorporated on May 3, 2007, under the provisions of Section 14 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. Fly was formed to acquire, finance, lease and sell commercial jet aircraft directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries (Fly and its subsidiaries collectively, the “Company”).

Although Fly is organized under the laws of Bermuda, it is a resident of Ireland for tax purposes and is subject to Irish corporation tax on its income in the same way, and to the same extent, as if it were organized under the laws of Ireland.

In accordance with Fly’s amended and restated bye-laws, Fly issued 100 shares (“Manager Shares”) with a par value of $0.001 to Fly Leasing Management Co. Limited (the “Manager”) for no consideration. Subject to the provisions of Fly’s amended and restated bye-laws, the Manager Shares have the right to appoint the nearest whole number of directors to Fly which is not more than 3/7th of the number of directors comprising the board of directors. The Manager Shares are not entitled to receive any dividends, are not convertible into common shares and, except as provided for in Fly’s amended and restated bye-laws, have no voting rights.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARATION

Fly is a holding company that conducts its business through its subsidiaries. Fly directly or indirectly owns all of the common shares of its consolidated subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements presented are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fly and all of its subsidiaries. In instances where it is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). Fly is deemed the primary beneficiary when it has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the economic performance of such VIE, and it bears the significant risk of loss and participates in gains of the VIE. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. Dollars, which is the principal operating currency of the Company.

The Company’s interim financial statements reflect all normally recurring adjustments that are necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and, therefore, the Company’s interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020 (the "2019 Annual Report"). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.

The Company has one operating and reportable segment which is aircraft and aircraft equipment leasing.

Certain amounts in prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The use of estimates is or could be a significant factor affecting the reported carrying values of rent receivables, flight equipment, deferred tax assets, liabilities and reserves. To the extent available, the Company utilizes industry specific resources, third-party appraisers and other materials to support management’s estimates, particularly with respect to flight equipment. Despite management’s best efforts to accurately estimate such amounts, actual results could differ from those estimates.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company encounters several types of risk in the course of its business, including credit, market, aviation industry and capital market risks. Credit risk addresses a lessee’s or derivative counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects the change in the value of derivatives and credit facilities due to changes in interest rate spreads or other market factors, including the value of collateral underlying the Company’s credit facilities. Aviation industry risk is the risk of a downturn in the commercial aviation industry, as a result of global, regional or industry-specific factors, which could adversely impact a lessee’s ability to make payments, increase the risk of unscheduled lease terminations and depress lease rates and the value of the Company’s aircraft and aircraft equipment. Capital market risk is the risk that the Company is unable to obtain capital at reasonable rates to fund the growth of its business or to refinance existing credit facilities.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

On January 30, 2020, the spread of COVID-19 was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organization (“WHO”), and on March 11, 2020, the WHO characterized the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures that governments and private parties have implemented in response to the pandemic have caused significant economic disruption, and will likely continue to have a material adverse effect on the demand for worldwide air travel, the airline industry and demand for commercial jet aircraft globally. The Company is unable to predict how long these conditions will persist, especially in light of the resurgence of COVID-19 in certain countries, what additional restrictions and other measures may be implemented by governments or private parties to reduce the spread of COVID-19 or otherwise dissuade air travel in the future as a result of the pandemic, which could cause a worsening of the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the airline industry and the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and growth prospects. The longer the COVID-19 pandemic persists, the more material the ultimate effects are likely to be.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends its guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The standard adds to U.S. GAAP an impairment model, known as the current expected credit loss model, that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses as an allowance for most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, investment in finance leases and off-balance sheet credit exposures. ASU 2016-13 does not apply to operating lease receivables. The FASB believes the new accounting standard will result in more timely recognition of losses. The standard is applied on a modified retrospective approach. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 removes the following disclosure requirements from Topic 820:


The amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy;


The policy for timing of transfers between levels; and


The valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements.

The following disclosure requirements were added to Topic 820:


The changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements at the end of the reporting period; and


The range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.

The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. Modifications of contracts within the scope of Topics 310, Receivables, and 470, Debt, should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate. Modifications of contracts within the scope of Topics 840, Leases, and 842, Leases, should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contracts with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate (for example, the incremental borrowing rate) or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required under those Topics for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. Modifications of contracts do not require an entity to reassess its original conclusion about whether that contract contains an embedded derivative that is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract under Subtopic 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging—Embedded Derivatives. Entities electing to utilize expedients are required to disclose the nature of and reason for their elections to apply expedients in each interim and annual financial statement period in the fiscal year of adoption. The optional amendments are available for all entities from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients effective April 1, 2020. The election did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable.

In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document regarding accounting for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The document provides that a company may elect to account for lease concessions as if those concessions existed regardless of whether the enforceable rights and obligations for the concessions explicitly exist in the contract. Consequently, an entity will not have to analyze each contract to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions exist in the contract and can elect to apply or not apply the lease modification guidance under Leases ASC 842, to those contracts. This election is available for concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract. Both lessees and lessors may make this election. The Company has elected to apply the relief related to lease concessions effective April 1, 2020.

The Company receives lease revenue from flight equipment under operating leases. Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. If the revenue amounts do not meet these criteria, recognition is delayed until the criteria is met. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue when the contingency is resolved. Revenue is not recognized when the Company determines that collection is not reasonably assured.

Rental income from aircraft and aircraft equipment is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the respective lease. Changes to the timing of cash rent receipts, such as under rent deferral arrangements, do not generally affect the total amount of consideration to be received under the lease and therefore do not typically impact revenue recognition, provided that the Company determines collection of rents is reasonably assured.
 
The Company maintains a provision for uncollectible operating lease receivables for losses it estimates will arise from its lessees’ inability to make their required lease payments. The Company evaluates the collectability of rent receivables and determines the appropriate provision for uncollectible operating lease receivables based on historical experience and a review of specific lessees. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a provision for uncollectible operating lease receivables of $1.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

In the three months ended September 30, 2020, Air India, AirAsia Berhad and Ethiopian Airlines each accounted for 10% or more of total operating lease revenue at 15%, 14%, and 13%, respectively. In the quarter, Aeromexico also accounted for 11% of total operating lease revenue, after taking into account end of lease income recognized upon the redelivery of one, and repossession of a second Boeing 737-700 aircraft. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Air India and AirAsia Berhad each accounted for 10% or more of total operating lease revenue at 12% and 11%, respectively. In the three months ended September 30, 2019, Air India accounted for 10% or more of total operating lease revenue at 11%. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, no customer accounted for 10% or more of total operating lease revenue.

As noted above, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a detrimental impact on the airline industry, causing a larger number of the Company’s lessees to fail to make rent and overhaul payments. This has led to the Company placing a number of lessees on non-accrual status in the third quarter of 2020, which in turn has caused the operating lease revenue concentration of other lessees to increase.

At September 30, 2020, the Company had eight lessees, which leased a total of 16 aircraft, on non-accrual status, as the Company had determined that it was not probable that the Company would receive the economic benefits of the leases, principally due to (i) the lessees’ failure to pay rent and overhaul payments on a timely basis and (ii) the lessees’ financial condition. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s operating lease revenue was reduced by $2.6 million attributable to the eight non-accrual lessees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $34.2 million of operating lease revenue from these lessees. At September 30, 2019, the Company had two lessees, which leased a total of three aircraft, on non-accrual status. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized $2.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, of operating lease revenue from these lessees. Revenue from lessees on non-accrual status is recognized based on the lesser of straight-line rental income or cash received, including the application of any cash security deposits and drawdowns on letters of credit.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s operating lease revenue was reduced by $22.5 million with the placement of four lessees on non-accrual status in the third quarter of 2020, of which $7.3 million relates to prior periods.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company executed agreements with 14 lessees to defer their rent payment obligations for 35 aircraft totaling $59.9 million due to the Company over the life of the leases. The Company has also agreed to lease restructurings with certain of its lessees.

Presented below are the Company’s rent deferrals granted and scheduled deferral repayments as of September 30, 2020.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term of the Company’s aircraft held for operating lease was 4.9 years and 5.4 years, respectively.

Leases are entered into with specified lease terms and may provide the lessee with an option to extend the lease term. The Company’s leases do not typically provide for early termination or purchase options.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $54.3 million of operating lease rental revenue, $10.0 million of which was from leases with variable rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $219.6 million of operating lease rental revenue, $31.4 million of which was from leases with variable rates. Variable rates are rents that reset based on changes in LIBOR. Presented below are the contracted future minimum rental payments, inclusive of rents due from lessees on non-accrual status and rent deferrals, due under non-cancellable operating leases for flight equipment held for operating lease as of September 30, 2020. For leases that have floating rental rates, the future minimum rental payments assume that LIBOR as of September 30, 2020 is held constant for the duration of the lease.

The Company is also subject to certain operating covenants, including reporting requirements. The Company’s failure to comply with any of the covenants under the indentures governing the 2021 Notes or 2024 Notes could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, may result in the acceleration of the indebtedness thereunder and other indebtedness containing cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions. Certain of these covenants will be suspended if the 2021 Notes or 2024 Notes obtain an investment grade rating. As of September 30, 2020, the Company was not in default under the indentures governing the 2021 Notes or the 2024 Notes.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, accrued interest on secured borrowings totaled $5.4 million and $9.2 million, respectively.

The Company is subject to restrictive covenants under its secured borrowings which relate to the incurrence of debt, issuance of guarantees, incurrence of liens or other encumbrances, the acquisition, substitution, disposition and re-lease of aircraft, maintenance, registration and insurance of its aircraft, restrictions on modification of aircraft and capital expenditures, and requirements to maintain concentration limits.

The Company’s loan agreements include events of default that are customary for these types of secured borrowings. The Company’s failure to comply with any restrictive covenants, or any other operating covenants, may trigger an event of default under the relevant loan agreement. In addition, certain of the Company’s loan agreements contain cross-default provisions that could be triggered by a default under another loan agreement.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company was not in default under any of its secured borrowings.

For more information about the Company's secured borrowings, refer to Note 10 of the 2019 Annual Report.

Securitization Notes

On March 14, 2019, B&B Air Funding redeemed all remaining aircraft lease-backed Class G-1 notes (the “Securitization Notes”) issued on October 2, 2007 and with an original maturity date of November 14, 2033, in the aggregate principal amount then-outstanding of $63.8 million. In connection with the redemption, the Company expensed approximately $1.9 million of debt extinguishment costs.

Nord LB Facility

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $62.2 million principal amount outstanding under its non-recourse debt facility with Norddeutsche Landesbank Gironzentrale (the “Nord LB Facility”), which was secured by three aircraft. The Nord LB Facility is structured with loans secured by each aircraft individually. The loans are cross-collateralized and contain cross-default provisions. Borrowings are secured by Fly’s equity interests in the aircraft owning subsidiaries, the related leases, and certain deposits. The loans under the Nord LB Facility bear interest at one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.85% until the maturity date of May 14, 2021.

Under the terms of the Nord LB Facility, the Company applies 95% of lease rentals collected towards interest and principal. If no lease rental payments are collected in the applicable period for any financed aircraft, then no payment is due under the loan associated with that aircraft during such period. Any unpaid interest increases the principal amount of the associated loan.

In the event the Company sells any of the financed aircraft, substantially all sale proceeds (after payment of certain expenses) must first be used to repay the debt associated with such aircraft and then to repay the outstanding amounts which finance the remaining aircraft. In addition, any maintenance reserve amounts retained by the Company will be used to prepay the Nord LB Facility, provided such reserves are not required for future maintenance of such aircraft.

2012 Term Loan

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $368.6 million principal amount outstanding under its senior secured term loan (the “2012 Term Loan”), which was secured by 30 aircraft. Fly has guaranteed all payments under the 2012 Term Loan. The maturity date of the 2012 Term Loan is August 9, 2025. The 2012 Term Loan can be prepaid in whole or in part at par.

The 2012 Term Loan bears interest at three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75%.

The 2012 Term Loan requires that the Company maintain a maximum loan-to-value ratio (“LTV”) of 70.0% based on the lower of the mean or median of half-life adjusted base values of the financed aircraft as determined by three independent appraisers on a semi-annual basis. The 2012 Term Loan also includes certain customary covenants, including reporting requirements and maintenance of credit ratings.

Magellan Acquisition Limited Facility

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $258.8 million principal amount outstanding in loans and notes under its term loan facility (the “Magellan Acquisition Limited Facility”), which was secured by nine aircraft. Fly has guaranteed all payments under this facility. The Magellan Acquisition Limited Facility has a maturity date of December 8, 2025.

The interest rate on the loans is based on one-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.65% per annum. The interest rate on the notes is a fixed rate of 3.93% per annum.

The facility contains financial and operating covenants, including a covenant that Fly maintain a tangible net worth of at least $325.0 million, as well as customary reporting requirements. The borrower is required to maintain (i) an interest coverage ratio and (ii) a LTV ratio of (a) 75% through December 8, 2020, (b) 70% from December 9, 2020 through December 8, 2022, (c) 65% from December 9, 2022 through December 8, 2024 and (d) 60% thereafter. The LTV is based on the lower of the average half-life adjusted current market value and base value of all aircraft financed under the facility as determined by three independent appraisers on an annual basis. Upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including a failure by Fly to maintain a minimum liquidity of at least $25.0 million, the borrower will be required to deposit certain amounts of maintenance reserves and security deposits received into pledged accounts. Also, upon the occurrence of a breach of the interest coverage ratio, all cash collected will be applied to repay the outstanding principal balance of the loans and notes until such breach is cured.

Fly Acquisition III Facility

On October 22, 2019, the Company paid in full the outstanding principal balance under a revolving credit facility (the “Fly Acquisition III Facility”) with an original maturity date of February 26, 2022. The Company had paid commitment fees of 0.50% to 0.75% per annum to the lenders on the undrawn amount of their commitments during the availability period under the Fly Acquisition III Facility, which expired on February 26, 2019.

The interest rate under the facility was based on one-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of (i) 2.00% through February 26, 2019 and (ii) 2.50%, from February 27, 2019 through the repayment date of the facility.

Fly Aladdin Acquisition Facility

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had an aggregate of $235.3 million principal amount outstanding of Series B loans under its term loan facility (the “Fly Aladdin Acquisition Facility”), which were secured by 14 aircraft. Series B loans have a maturity date of June 15, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company repaid Series A loans in full and a portion of Series B loans and expensed approximately $2.0 million of debt extinguishment costs.

The interest rate on Series B loans is based on three-month LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 1.80% per annum. The Company makes scheduled quarterly payments of principal and interest on the loans in accordance with a fixed amortization schedule.

Borrowings are secured by the aircraft and related leases, and the equity and beneficial interests in the aircraft owning and leasing subsidiaries. In addition, Fly has provided a guaranty of certain of the representations, warranties and covenants under the Fly Aladdin Acquisition Facility (including, without limitation, the borrowers’ special purpose covenants), as well as the obligations, upon the occurrence of certain conditions, to deposit maintenance reserves and security deposits received into pledged accounts.

The facility contains operating covenants, including covenants that the borrowers maintain a (i) debt service coverage ratio and (ii) LTV ratio of (a) 68% through December 14, 2020, (b) 65% from December 15, 2020 through June 14, 2021, (c) 63.5% from June 15, 2021 through December 14, 2021, (d) 62% from December 15, 2021 through June 14, 2022, (e) 60% from June 15, 2022 through December 14, 2022 and (f) 58% thereafter. The LTV is based on the average of the half-life adjusted current market value of all financed aircraft as determined by three independent appraisers on a semi-annual basis.

Upon the occurrence of certain events, including a breach of the debt service coverage ratio continuing for two consecutive quarterly payment dates, Fly will be required to deposit, or cause the borrowers to deposit, all maintenance reserves and security deposits received under the associated leases into pledged accounts. Also, upon the occurrence of a breach of the LTV ratio and certain other events, all cash collected will be applied to repay the outstanding principal balance of Series B loans until such breach is cured. The LTV ratio was breached in the third quarter of 2020. As a consequence of entering into deferral agreements with the Company’s lessees, in the fourth quarter of 2020, the debt service coverage ratio was breached for two consecutive quarterly payment dates, requiring the Company to deposit approximately $7.6 million in cash maintenance reserves and security deposits received under the associated leases into pledged accounts.

Fly Aladdin Engine Funding Facility

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $41.2 million principal amount outstanding under a term loan facility (the “Fly Aladdin Engine Funding Facility”), which was secured by seven engines. Fly has guaranteed all payments under this facility. The loans have maturity dates ranging from December 31, 2021 to April 30, 2022.

The interest rates for the borrowings range from 4.94% to 4.96% per annum, per engine. The Company is required to make scheduled monthly payments of principal and interest in accordance with an amortization schedule.

The loans are secured by the engines and related leases and the Company’s equity and beneficial interests in the engine owning entities. The Fly Aladdin Engine Funding Facility contains customary covenants, including various reporting requirements. A violation of any of these covenants could result in a default under the Fly Aladdin Engine Funding Facility.

Other Aircraft Secured Borrowings

The Company has entered into other aircraft secured borrowings to finance the acquisition of aircraft, one of which is denominated in Euros. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $560.5 million principal amount outstanding of other aircraft secured borrowings, which were secured by 13 aircraft. Of this amount, $286.9 million was recourse to Fly.

These borrowings are structured as individual loans secured by pledges of the Company’s rights, title and interests in the financed aircraft and leases. In addition, Fly may provide guarantees of its subsidiaries’ obligations under certain of these loans and may be subject to financial and operating covenants in connection therewith. One aircraft secured borrowing with a scheduled maturity date in December 2020 has been extended for 90 days. The maturity dates of other aircraft secured borrowings range from March 2021 to June 2028.

10. DERIVATIVES

Derivatives are used by the Company to manage its exposure to identified risks, such as interest rate and foreign currency exchange fluctuations. The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to hedge variable interest payments due on borrowings associated with aircraft with fixed rate rentals. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $916.5 million of floating rate debt associated with aircraft with fixed rate rentals.

Interest rate swap contracts allow the Company to pay fixed interest rates and receive variable interest rates with the swap counterparty based on either the one-month or three-month LIBOR applied to the notional amounts over the life of the contracts. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts aggregating $714.0 million and $804.9 million, respectively. The unrealized fair value loss on the interest rate swap contracts, reflected as derivative liabilities, was $50.3 million and $27.9 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

To mitigate its exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations, the Company entered into a cross currency swap contract in 2018 in conjunction with a lease in which a portion of the lease rental is denominated in Euros. Pursuant to such cross currency swap, the Company receives U.S. dollars based on a fixed conversion rate through the maturity date of the swap contract. Over the remaining life of the cross currency swap contract, the Company expects to receive $51.2 million in U.S. dollars. The unrealized fair value gain, reflected as a derivative asset, was $4.2 million and $4.8 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded $4.4 million and $9.7 million, respectively, of interest expense in the consolidated statements of income (loss) from its interest rate swap contracts. The Company also recognized $0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of rental revenue, included in operating lease revenue in the consolidated statements of income (loss), under its cross currency swap contract during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of interest expense in the consolidated statements of income (loss) from its interest rate swap contracts. The Company also recognized $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of rental revenue, included in operating lease revenue in the consolidated statements of income (loss), under its cross currency swap contract during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments using a discounted cash flow model. The model incorporates an assessment of the risk of non-performance by the swap counterparty in valuing derivative assets and an evaluation of the Company’s credit risk in valuing derivative liabilities.

The Company considers in its assessment of non-performance risk, if applicable, netting arrangements under master netting agreements, any collateral requirement, and the derivative payment priority in the Company’s debt agreements. The valuation model uses various inputs including contractual terms, interest rate curves and credit spreads.

Designated Derivatives

Certain of the Company’s interest rate derivatives have been designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of a provision for income taxes. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had the following designated derivative instruments classified as derivative liabilities on its balance sheet (dollars in thousands):

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reclassified $0.5 million of accumulated comprehensive gain, net of deferred tax, to gain on derivatives.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company reclassified $2.1 million of accumulated comprehensive loss, net of deferred tax, to loss on derivatives. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company reclassified $2.3 million of accumulated comprehensive loss, net of deferred tax, to loss on derivatives. The Company also reclassified $0.5 million to interest expense.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, one interest rate swap contract matured and two other interest rate swap contracts were terminated.

11. INCOME TAXES

Fly is a tax resident of Ireland and has wholly-owned subsidiaries in Ireland, France, Luxembourg, Australia and Malta that are tax residents in those jurisdictions. In general, Irish resident companies pay corporation tax at the rate of 12.5% on trading income and 25.0% on non-trading income. Historically, most of the Company’s operating income has been trading income in Ireland.

The Company's effective tax rates were 4.4% and 14.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and 12.0% and 10.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The difference between the statutory and effective tax rate in each period is primarily attributable to changes in valuation allowances and the amount of income earned by the Company in different tax jurisdictions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a benefit for an interest payment made by a subsidiary that previously did not meet the recognition threshold. The Company utilized this benefit as group relief to offset income tax on repatriated earnings for which a deferred tax liability was previously recorded. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company also reduced the tax liability it expects to pay in connection with its unrepatriated Australian earnings by $1.0 million.

The Company recognizes a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not (likelihood of more than 50 percent) that some portion, or all, of its deferred tax asset will not be realized. Future realization of a deferred tax asset depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the carryforward period under the tax law.

The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

12. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

In August 2019, the Company’s board of directors approved a $50.0 million share repurchase program which expired in September 2020. Under this program, the Company was able to make share repurchases from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Fly repurchased 417,341 shares at an average price of $15.57 per share, or $6.5 million, before commissions and fees. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, Fly repurchased 342,492 shares at an average price of $16.83 per share, or $5.8 million, before commissions and fees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Fly repurchased 2,010,437 shares at an average price of $16.29 per share, or $32.8 million, before commissions and fees.

No dividends were declared or paid during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

13. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

On April 29, 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2010 Plan”) permitting the issuance of up to 1,500,000 share grants in the form of (i) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”); (ii) restricted stock units (“RSUs”); (iii) nonqualified stock options; and (iv) other stock-based awards. The Company has issued all shares available under the 2010 Plan. Since June 30, 2015, all SARs and RSUs granted under the 2010 Plan have vested. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, 555,569 SARs were exercised at a weighted average price of $12.84 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 782,955 SARs were exercised at a weighted average price of $12.73 per share. At September 30, 2020, there were 14,025 SARs outstanding and exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $12.95 per share.

14. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share using the two-class method, in which dividends attributable to SARs, if any, are deducted from net income (loss) in determining net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the potential number of dilutive common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effect of any anti-dilutive securities.

SARs granted by the Company that contain non-forfeitable rights to receive dividend equivalents are deemed participating securities (see Note 13). Net income (loss) available to common shareholders is determined by reducing the Company’s net income (loss) for the period by dividend equivalents paid on vested SARs during the period.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company contracts with third-party service providers to perform maintenance or overhaul activities on its off-lease aircraft.

In 2016, the Company entered into agreements with third-party lessors to guarantee the residual value of three aircraft subject to twelve-year leases (“RVGs”) and received residual value guarantee fees totaling $6.6 million, which are being amortized over a twelve-year period. The third-party lessors may exercise their rights under the RVGs by issuing a notice eleven months prior to the respective lease maturity requiring the Company to purchase the aircraft on such date. The RVGs will terminate if not exercised accordingly. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized income of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

On February 28, 2018, the Company agreed to acquire 21 Airbus A320neo family aircraft to be leased to AirAsia Group Berhad (“AirAsia”) and its affiliated airlines as the aircraft deliver from the manufacturer (“Portfolio B”). The first of these aircraft was delivered in the fourth quarter of 2019. The Company also acquired options to purchase up to 20 Airbus A320neo family aircraft, not subject to lease, delivering from the manufacturer (“Portfolio C”). The Company did not exercise its options with respect to any of the Portfolio C aircraft delivering in 2019. In August 2019, the Company exercised options with respect to eight Portfolio C aircraft to be delivered in 2020 and 2021. The Company has options remaining to purchase up to nine Portfolio C aircraft delivering between 2021 and 2025. Due to the impact of COVID-19, the Company expects that the delivery of the Portfolio B and Portfolio C aircraft will be delayed, and that no aircraft will deliver under these agreements in the next 12 months.

16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

BBAM is entitled to receive a servicing fee equal to 3.5% of the aggregate amount of rents actually collected, plus an administrative fee of $1,000 per aircraft per month. Under the 2012 Term Loan, the Magellan Acquisition Limited Facility and the Fly Aladdin Acquisition Facility, BBAM is also entitled to an administrative fee of $10,000 per month. Under the Fly Aladdin Engine Funding Facility, BBAM is entitled to receive a servicing fee equal to 3.5% of monthly rents actually collected and an administrative fee equal to $1,000 per month. In connection with the repayment of the Fly Acquisition III Facility in October 2019, the servicing agreement, which also entitled BBAM to an administrative fee of $10,000 per month, was terminated.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, BBAM received servicing and administrative fees totaling $2.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, BBAM received servicing and administrative fees totaling $3.8 million and $11.8 million, respectively.

BBAM also is entitled to receive an acquisition fee of 1.5% of the gross acquisition cost for any aviation asset purchased by the Company, and a disposition fee of 1.5% of the gross proceeds for any aviation asset sold by the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred $1.1 million of acquisition fees, respectively, payable to BBAM. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred $0.8 million and $1.7 million of acquisition fees, respectively, payable to BBAM. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred disposition fees of $2.9 million, payable to BBAM. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred disposition fees of $4.3 million and $11.4 million, respectively, payable to BBAM.

In addition, Fly pays an annual management fee to the Manager as compensation for providing the services of the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and other personnel, and for certain corporate overhead costs related to the Company. The management fee is adjusted each calendar year by (i) 0.3% of the change in the book value of the Company’s aircraft portfolio during the preceding year, up to a $2.0 billion increase over $2.7 billion and (ii) 0.25% of the change in the book value of the Company’s aircraft portfolio in excess of $2.0 billion, with a minimum management fee of $5.0 million. The management fee is also subject to an annual CPI adjustment applicable to the prior calendar year. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred management fees of $2.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred management fees of $2.4 million and $7.2 million, respectively.

17. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. The hierarchy levels give the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. Fair value measurements are disclosed by level within the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level 3 — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, derivative instruments, accounts payable and borrowings. Fair value of an asset is defined as the price a seller would receive in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing and able parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that an obligor would pay to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor.

Where available, the fair value of the Company’s investment in equity certificates, notes payable and debt facilities is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters (Level 2). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized an unrealized fair value loss of $2.3 million and $12.8 million, respectively, on its investment in equity certificates to write down the equity certificates to estimated fair value.

Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied, using the net present value of cash flow streams over the term using estimated market rates for similar instruments and remaining terms (Level 3). These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative instruments using a discounted cash flow model which incorporates an assessment of the risk of non-performance by the swap counterparty and an evaluation of its credit risk in valuing derivative liabilities. The valuation model uses various inputs including contractual terms, interest rate curves, credit spreads and measures of volatility.

The Company also measures the fair value for certain assets and liabilities on a non-recurring basis, when GAAP requires the application of fair value, including events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. Assets subject to these measurements include Fly’s investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary and flight equipment held for operating lease, net. Fly accounts for its investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary under the equity method and records impairment when its fair value is less than its carrying value and the Company determines that the decline is other-than-temporary (Level 3).

The Company records flight equipment at fair value when the carrying value may not be recoverable. Such fair value measurements are based on management’s best estimates and judgment and use Level 3 inputs which include assumptions as to future cash flows associated with the use of an aircraft and eventual disposition of such aircraft. The Company will record an impairment charge if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset.

The carrying amounts and fair values of certain of the Company’s debt instruments are as follows (dollars in thousands):

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 15, 2020, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a $180.0 million senior secured term loan (the "2020 Term Loan") with a consortium of lenders. The 2020 Term Loan will mature on the earlier of (i) October 15, 2025 and (ii) the date falling 30 days prior to the maturity of the Company’s 2024 Notes if not redeemed. The 2020 Term Loan was issued at a discount of 4.5%. The 2020 Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 6.00%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00% and requires quarterly principal payments of 1.25% of the original loan amount. The 2020 Term Loan will be secured by 11 aircraft that are currently owned by the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2020 Term Loan is guaranteed by the Company. The Company also entered into a servicing agreement with BBAM, pursuant to which it will pay an administrative fee of $10,000 per month as well as servicing fees of 3.5% of monthly rent actually collected, plus $1,000 per aircraft per month. The Company will also pay BBAM a sales fee of 1.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds received with respect to the sale of any aircraft.

Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company repurchased $103.0 million of its 2021 Notes in private transactions.

Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company entered into agreements to sell two aircraft.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our (i) consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Interim Report and (ii) Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are presented in U.S. dollars. The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that are based upon our current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in global, regional or local political, economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. See “Preliminary Note.

Overview

Fly Leasing Limited is a Bermuda exempted company that was incorporated on May 3, 2007, under the provisions of Section 14 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. We are principally engaged in purchasing commercial aircraft and aircraft equipment, which we lease under multi-year contracts to a diverse group of airlines throughout the world.

Although we are organized under the laws of Bermuda, we are a resident of Ireland for tax purposes and are subject to Irish corporation tax on our income in the same way, and to the same extent, as if we were organized under the laws of Ireland.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had net income (loss) of ($8.1) million and $39.6 million or diluted earnings (loss) per share of ($0.26) and $1.30, respectively. Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $87.1 million. Net cash flows provided by investing activities totaled $68.9 million and net cash flows used in financing activities totaled $187.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

AirAsia Transactions

On February 28, 2018, we agreed to acquire 21 Airbus A320neo family aircraft to be leased to AirAsia Group Berhad (“AirAsia”) and its affiliated airlines as the aircraft deliver from the manufacturer (“Portfolio B”). The first of these aircraft delivered in the fourth quarter of 2019. We also acquired options to purchase up to 20 Airbus A320neo family aircraft, not subject to lease (“Portfolio C”). We did not exercise our options with respect to any of the Portfolio C aircraft delivering in 2019. In August 2019, we exercised options with respect to eight Portfolio C aircraft to be delivered in 2020 and 2021. We have options remaining to purchase up to nine Portfolio C aircraft delivering between 2021 and 2025. Due to the impact of COVID-19, we expect that the delivery of the Portfolio B and Portfolio C aircraft will be delayed, and that no aircraft will deliver under these agreements in the next 12 months.

Sale of Six Aircraft to Horizon III

On October 31, 2019, we agreed to sell six aircraft to Horizon Aircraft Finance III Limited and Horizon Aircraft Finance III LLC (together, “Horizon III”) for an aggregate base purchase price of $150.5 million, subject to adjustment based on rents and maintenance reserves in respect of the aircraft (the “Horizon III Transaction”). We delivered one aircraft to Horizon III during the fourth quarter of 2019 and the remaining five aircraft during the first quarter of 2020. The aircraft in Horizon III’s portfolio are serviced and managed by affiliates of BBAM LP, whose affiliates also manage and service our aircraft portfolio. We also purchased $3.1 million, or 3%, of the equity certificates issued by Horizon III Limited in connection with the Horizon III Transaction, which are subject to a seven-year lock-up agreement.

2020 Term Loan

On October 15, 2020, we entered into a $180.0 million senior secured term loan (the "2020 Term Loan") with a consortium of lenders. The 2020 Term Loan will mature on the earlier of (i) October 15, 2025 and (ii) the date falling 30 days prior to the maturity of our unsecured 5.250% senior notes due 2024 if not redeemed. The 2020 Term Loan was issued at a discount of 4.5%. The 2020 Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 6.00%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00% and requires quarterly principal payments of 1.25% of the original loan amount. The 2020 Term Loan will be secured by 11 aircraft that are currently owned by our subsidiaries. We have guaranteed all payments under the 2020 Term Loan.

Market Conditions
 
The airline industry is cyclical, and subject to macroeconomic, geopolitical and other risks which may negatively impact airline profitability or create volatility in the aircraft leasing market. Global passenger air traffic grew and the airline industry was profitable in every year from 2012 to 2019. However, because of the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on air travel, global passenger air traffic and load factors have declined significantly in 2020 and are not expected to recover to pre-pandemic levels until at least 2024. As of October 27, 2020, the International Air Transport Association (“IATA”) predicted that 2021 airline revenues will merely reach approximately 50% of pre-crisis expectations, with airlines continuing to experience negative cash flows through 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely and negatively impacted the financial health of some airlines and already has led some airlines to enter bankruptcy proceedings. For example, one of our lessees, Aeromexico, entered bankruptcy proceedings in June 2020 and rejected its lease of our aircraft. The longer the pandemic persists, the more material the ultimate effects on the financial health of airlines are likely to be. In addition, when the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft returns to service and Boeing resumes deliveries, market lease rates for competing current generation narrow-body aircraft may be adversely impacted due to the increased supply of aircraft. Finally, uncertainty about geopolitical events and pressures such as environmental impact concerns, Brexit and ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions could affect the economic health of airlines and the aircraft leasing market. These and other factors, known and unknown, may adversely affect the airline industry and the airline leasing market in 2020 and beyond.
 
Long term, we believe world air traffic will recover, and coupled with airlines’ need to renew their fleets, will fuel demand for commercial aircraft and as a result will drive growth in the aircraft leasing market.
 
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Operations

Fly and BBAM have implemented a comprehensive set of actions to support our operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2020, the principal offices of Fly and BBAM were closed in compliance with local shelter-in-place orders. However, BBAM has since re-opened one of its principal offices as permitted by local measures at a limited capacity with the implementation of new protocols to comply with the local health and safety guidelines. BBAM continues to implement work-from-home policies and other measures intended to maintain the health and safety of employees and contractors and to support its, and our, operational needs until such orders and other restrictions are completely lifted.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Fly prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The use of estimates is a significant factor affecting the reported carrying values of flight equipment, deferred tax assets, liabilities and reserves. We utilize third party appraisers and industry valuation professionals, where possible, to support estimates, particularly with respect to flight equipment. Despite our best efforts to accurately estimate such amounts, actual results could differ from those estimates. We have made no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and significant estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020 (the "2019 Annual Report").
 
It is likely that there will be negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that we cannot presently predict, including near term effects, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Due to worldwide government-imposed travel restrictions, significantly reduced flight schedules, and a severe decline in passenger demand for air travel, we have been in active discussions with our impacted lessees and we have entered into agreements to defer lease payments or restructure leases with some of our lessees. As a result, we anticipate that the decline in our cash rent collections and operating lease rental revenue will continue for the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. Our estimates of the amount of rent ultimately collectible from our lessees, which impacts revenue recognition, have a higher degree of uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and these estimates could change in the near term. Further, the impact of COVID-19 on the airline industry may result in changes to our assumptions used to evaluate impairment of flight equipment, including the level of future rents, the residual value of the flight equipment and estimated downtime between re-leasing events. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we have recorded a provision for uncollectible operating lease receivables of $3.0 million. Future changes to our assumptions, which could be caused by airline bankruptcies or otherwise, could result in further provisions for uncollectible operating lease receivables or impairment charges, and these charges could be material.
 
Operating Results

As of September 30, 2020, we had 86 aircraft and seven engines in our portfolio. Of the 86 aircraft, 78 were on operating lease, one was classified as an investment in finance lease and seven aircraft were off-lease. As of September 30, 2019, we had 92 aircraft and seven engines in our portfolio. Of the 92 aircraft, 84 were held for operating lease, one was classified as an investment in finance lease, six were classified as flight equipment held for sale and one aircraft was off-lease.

We classify flight equipment as held for sale when we commit to and commence a plan of sale that is reasonably expected to be completed within one year and satisfies other criteria. We recognize revenue from each aircraft until the date that such aircraft is delivered to the purchaser and cease to recognize depreciation as of the date the aircraft is classified as flight equipment held for sale.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we sold six aircraft and two engines as the result of an aircraft part-out for an aggregate gain on sale of aircraft of $31.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold 25 aircraft and recognized an aggregate gain on sale of aircraft of $82.6 million.

We receive lease revenue from flight equipment under operating leases. Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to us and the revenue can be reliably measured. If the revenue amounts do not meet these criteria, recognition is delayed until the criteria is met. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue when the contingency is resolved. Revenue is not recognized when we determine that collection is not reasonably assured.

We maintain a provision for uncollectible operating lease receivables for losses we estimate will arise from our lessees’ inability to make their required lease payments. We evaluate the collectability of rent receivables and determine the appropriate provision for uncollectible operating lease receivables based on historical experience and a review of specific lessees. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a provision for uncollectible operating lease receivables of $1.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2020, we had eight lessees, which leased a total of 16 aircraft, on non-accrual status, as we had determined that it was not probable that we would receive the economic benefits of the leases, principally due to (i) the lessees’ failure to pay rent and overhaul payments on a timely basis and (ii) the lessees’ financial condition. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, our operating lease revenue was reduced by $2.6 million attributable to the eight non-accrual lessees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $34.2 million of operating lease revenue from these lessees. At September 30, 2019, we had two lessees, which leased a total of three aircraft, on non-accrual status. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized $2.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, of operating lease revenue from these lessees.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, our operating lease revenue was reduced by $22.5 million with the placement of four lessees on non-accrual status in the third quarter of 2020, of which $7.3 million relates to prior periods.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we executed agreements with 14 lessees to defer their rent payment obligations for 35 aircraft totaling $59.9 million due to us over the life of the leases. These deferrals are for an average of nine months with approximately half of the deferrals to be repaid by the end of 2021. We have also agreed to lease restructurings with certain of our lessees.

Presented below are the rent deferrals granted and scheduled deferral repayments as of September 30, 2020. There can be no assurance that our lessees will make their payments in accordance with the deferral terms during the expected repayment periods or at all.

We expect that we may grant additional payment deferrals and extend the periods of repayment, and if the financial conditions of our airline customers do not improve, we may agree to further accommodations with some of our lessees.
 
We therefore anticipate a continued decline in our cash rent collections and operating lease revenue as compared to the prior year periods for the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we collected 53% of our pre-deferral contracted rent. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we collected 47% of our pre-deferral contracted rent.
 
Rental income from aircraft and aircraft equipment is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the respective lease. Changes to the timing of cash rent receipts, such as under rent deferral arrangements, do not generally affect the total amount of consideration to be received under the lease and therefore do not typically impact revenue recognition, provided that we determine collection of rents is reasonably assured.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, operating lease revenue totaled $59.3 million, a decrease of $35.4 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease of $22.8 million from lessees on non-accrual, (ii) a decrease of $18.5 million in lease revenue from aircraft sold in 2019 and 2020, (iii) a decrease of $4.7 million in lease revenue resulting from lease extensions, lease restructurings and remarketings, and (iv) a decrease of $2.1 million in lease revenue related to leases with floating rate rents. The decrease was partially offset by (i) an increase in lease revenue of $6.4 million from aircraft purchased in 2019 and 2020, and (ii) an increase of $6.3 million from end of lease income recognized. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, our operating lease revenue was reduced by $22.5 million with the placement of four lessees on non-accrual status in the third quarter of 2020, of which $7.3 million relates to prior periods.

We did not sell any aircraft during the three months ended September 30, 2020. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we sold eight aircraft and recognized an aggregate gain on sale of aircraft of $38.9 million.

Interest and other income totaled $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $4.6 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest earned on deposits in bank accounts and our unconsolidated subsidiary recognizing a gain on sale of its last aircraft during the third quarter of 2019.

Depreciation expense was $32.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $1.3 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in depreciation on aircraft sold in 2019 and 2020 and stoppage of depreciation on aircraft classified as flight equipment held for sale in 2019. This decrease was partially offset by depreciation on aircraft acquired in 2019 and 2020.

Interest expense totaled $24.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $9.2 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in interest resulting from debt repayments associated with aircraft sales and repayment of the Fly Acquisition III Facility in October 2019. The decrease was slightly offset by an increase in swap interest expense.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $0.4 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1.9 million in servicing and management fees paid to BBAM and our Manager due to a decrease in fleet size and rental revenue, partially offset by an increase of $0.9 million in realized and unrealized foreign currency losses and an increase of $0.5 million in general corporate costs.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a provision for uncollectible operating lease receivables of $1.0 million. We did not record any provision for uncollectible operating lease receivables during the three months ended September 30, 2019.
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized a gain on derivatives of $0.6 million due to the dedesignation event of our cross currency swap as a cash flow hedge, causing a portion of unrealized gain to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to the consolidated statements of income (loss). During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized a loss on derivatives of $2.5 million, primarily due to interest rate swap contracts that no longer qualify for hedge accounting treatment due to debt repayments associated with aircraft sales and the early repayment of the Fly Acquisition III Facility.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized an unrealized fair value loss on marketable securities of $2.3 million related to the write down of our equity certificates to estimated fair value. After the write-down, the carrying value of our investment in equity certificates was reduced to $3.2 million as of September 30, 2020. We expect the fair value of our investment in equity certificates to remain volatile while the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the market for such securities.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred debt extinguishment costs totaling $1.6 million, of which $1.5 million were non-cash write-offs, due primarily to debt repayments associated with aircraft sales. We did not incur any debt extinguishment costs during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Maintenance and other costs were $1.2 million for three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $0.6 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in aircraft redelivery and storage costs, offset slightly by a decrease in legal costs relating to aircraft repossession.

Benefit for income taxes was $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to provision for income taxes of $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. We are tax resident in Ireland and expect to pay the corporation tax rate of 12.5% on trading income and 25.0% on non-trading income. Our effective tax rates were 4.4% and 12.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The difference between the statutory and effective tax rate in each period is primarily attributable to changes in valuation allowances and the amount of income earned by us in different tax jurisdictions. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2019, our expected Australian tax liability was reduced by $1.0 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, operating lease revenue totaled $225.8 million, a decrease of $102.8 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease of $69.5 million in lease revenue from aircraft sold in 2019 and 2020, (ii) a decrease of $26.7 million from lessees on non-accrual, (iii) a decrease of $21.4 million from end of lease income recognized, (iv) a decrease of $5.6 million from lower lease rates on lease extensions, lease restructurings and remarketings, and (v) a decrease of $4.8 million in lease revenue related to leases with floating rate rents. The decrease was partially offset by (i) an increase in lease revenue of $23.7 million from aircraft purchased in 2019 and 2020 and (ii) a decrease of $2.0 million in lease incentive amortization.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we sold six aircraft and two engines as a result of an aircraft part-out and recognized an aggregate gain on sale of aircraft of $31.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold 25 aircraft and recognized an aggregate gain on sale of aircraft of $82.6 million.

Interest and other income totaled $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $5.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest earned on deposits in bank accounts and our unconsolidated subsidiary recognizing a gain on sale of its last aircraft during the third quarter of 2019.

Depreciation expense was $96.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $12.6 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in depreciation on aircraft sold in 2019 and 2020 and stoppage of depreciation on aircraft classified as flight equipment held for sale in 2019. This decrease was partially offset by depreciation on aircraft acquired in 2019 and 2020.

Interest expense totaled $76.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $30.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a reduction in interest resulting from debt repayments associated with aircraft sales, redemption of the Securitization Notes in March 2019 and repayment of the Fly Acquisition III Facility in October 2019 and (ii) termination of the Fly Acquisition III Facility commitment fees upon expiry of the commitment period on February 26, 2019. The decrease was slightly offset by an increase in swap interest expense.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $22.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $3.8 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease of $4.3 million in servicing and management fees paid to BBAM and our Manager due to a decrease in fleet size and rental revenue, and (ii) a decrease of $0.6 million in legal fees relating to fleet activity. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $0.9 million in realized and unrealized foreign currency losses.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a provision for uncollectible operating lease receivables of $3.0 million. We did not record any provision for uncollectible operating lease receivables during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized a loss on derivatives of $2.8 million, primarily due to interest rate swap contracts that no longer qualify for hedge accounting treatment due to debt repayments associated with aircraft sales and the early repayment of the Fly Acquisition III Facility.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized an unrealized fair value loss on marketable securities of $12.8 million related to the write down of our equity certificates to estimated fair value. After the write-down, the carrying value of our investment in equity certificates was reduced to $3.2 million as of September 30, 2020. We expect the fair value of our investment in equity certificates to remain volatile while the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the market for such securities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred debt extinguishment costs totaling $0.9 million due to debt repayments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred debt extinguishment costs totaling $5.3 million, of which $5.1 million were non-cash write-offs, due to (i) debt repayments associated with aircraft sales and (ii) the redemption of the Securitization Notes.

Maintenance and other costs were $3.4 million for nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $0.6 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in aircraft redelivery and storage costs, offset slightly by a decrease in legal costs relating to aircraft repossession.

Provision for income taxes was $6.5 million and $16.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We are tax resident in Ireland and expect to pay the corporation tax rate of 12.5% on trading income and 25.0% on non-trading income. Our effective tax rates were 14.2% and 10.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The difference between the statutory and effective tax rate in each period is primarily attributable to changes in valuation allowances and the amount of income earned by us in different tax jurisdictions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we also recorded a benefit for an interest payment made by a subsidiary that previously did not meet the recognition threshold. We utilized this benefit as group relief to offset income tax on repatriated earnings for which a deferred tax liability was previously recorded. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our expected Australian tax liability was reduced by $1.0 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our business is very capital intensive, requiring significant investment to maintain and expand our fleet. We have pursued a strategy of disciplined fleet growth. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we spent $73.3 million to acquire flight equipment. In 2019, we spent $331.5 million to acquire flight equipment.

We also have pursued opportunistic aircraft sales to rejuvenate our fleet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we sold six aircraft and two engines as the result of an aircraft part-out. In 2019, we sold 35 aircraft. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, we entered into agreements to sell two aircraft.

We finance our business with unrestricted cash, cash generated from flight equipment leases, aircraft sales and debt financings. At September 30, 2020, we had $285.1 million of unrestricted cash.

In recent years, our debt financing strategy has been to diversify our lending sources and to utilize both secured and unsecured debt financing. Unsecured borrowings provide us with greater operational flexibility. Secured, recourse debt financing enables us to take advantage of favorable pricing and other terms compared to secured non-recourse debt, which we also continue to utilize.

Our 2021 Notes will mature on October 15, 2021. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, we repurchased $103.0 million of our 2021 Notes in private transactions. Subject to market conditions, we plan to make additional repurchases and redeem the remaining principal balance of the 2021 Notes in advance of their maturity date.

On October 15, 2020, we consummated the 2020 Term Loan, a $180.0 million secured term loan with a consortium of lenders. The 2020 Term Loan will mature on the earlier of (i) October 15, 2025 and (ii) the date falling 30 days prior to the maturity of our 2024 Notes if not redeemed. The 2020 Term Loan was issued at a discount of 4.5%. The 2020 Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 6.00%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00% and requires quarterly principal payments of 1.25% of the original loan amount. We expect to receive proceeds from the 2020 Term Loan, net of issue discount and expenses, in the amount of $169.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of debt.

The 2020 Term Loan will be secured by 11 aircraft, including seven aircraft which had previously been secured by our 2012 Term Loan and four unencumbered aircraft. We were not required to repay any debt associated with those seven aircraft and they have been removed from the collateral pool associated with the 2012 Term Loan.

Following completion of the financing of the collateral pool under the 2020 Term Loan and the anticipated transfers of certain unencumbered aircraft into the 2012 Term Loan, we will have a total of nine unencumbered aircraft with a net book value at September 30, 2020 of approximately $200.0 million.

Our sources of operating cash flows are principally management fees, distributions and interest payments made to us by our subsidiaries. These payments by our subsidiaries may be restricted by applicable local laws and debt covenants.

We cannot predict the full extent to which COVID-19 will adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and growth prospects. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 will depend on certain developments, including, among others, the impact of the pandemic on our lessees and the magnitude and duration of the crisis. The longer the pandemic persists, the more material the ultimate effects are likely to be. The COVID-19 pandemic has already negatively impacted the financial health of airlines and has led some airlines to enter bankruptcy proceedings. We have agreed with many of our lessees to defer their payment obligations to us under their leases or other lease restructurings. There can be no assurance that our lessees will make their payments in accordance with the deferral terms during the expected repayment periods or at all. We may also experience lessee defaults, requiring us to repossess and remarket or dispose of aircraft or engines earlier than anticipated. The return condition of the repossessed aircraft may not be as expected and we may incur unexpected maintenance costs associated with bringing the aircraft to airworthiness.

In addition, the demand for leased aircraft and engines is severely constrained. This supply and demand imbalance is likely to depress lease rates for, and the value of, the aircraft and engines in our portfolio. We may be unable to remarket or sell aircraft or engines timely and on terms favorable to us, or at all, which could result in significant storage, maintenance and reconfiguration expenses, and loss of revenues, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

However, we continue to expect that funds we receive from our subsidiaries, together with our cash on hand, cash from operations, and cash from financing activities will satisfy our liquidity needs through at least the next twelve months.

Our liquidity plans are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described under Item 3 “Key Information — Risk Factors” of our 2019 Annual Report and Item 1A. Risk Factors of this report.

Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

We generated cash from operations of $87.1 million and $190.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $103.2 million.

Cash provided by investing activities was $68.9 million and $525.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we used $74.1 million of cash to purchase flight equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we sold six aircraft and two engines as the result of an aircraft part-out for net cash proceeds of $160.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we used $114.8 million of cash to purchase flight equipment and $7.4 million to purchase equity certificates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold 25 aircraft for net cash proceeds of $651.5 million. Payments for aircraft improvement totaled $15.3 million and $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 totaled $187.0 million and $474.8 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we (i) made repayments on our secured borrowings totaling $191.7 million, largely in connection with aircraft sales and (ii) used $6.5 million to repurchase 417,341 shares. These payments were partially offset by (i) security deposit receipts from our lessees of $4.0 million and (ii) net maintenance reserve receipts of $7.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we (i) made repayments on our secured borrowings totaling $474.7 million largely in connection with aircraft sales and (ii) used $32.8 million to repurchase 2,010,437 shares. These payments were partially offset by net maintenance reserve receipts of $33.7 million.

Maintenance Cash Flows

Under our leases, the lessee is generally responsible for maintenance and repairs, airframe and engine overhauls, and compliance with return conditions of aircraft on lease. In connection with the lease of a used aircraft we may agree to contribute additional amounts to the cost of certain major overhauls or modifications, which usually reflect the usage of the aircraft prior to the commencement of the lease. In many cases, we also agree to share with our lessees the cost of compliance with airworthiness directives. We are not obligated to pay maintenance claims submitted by lessees who are in default under their lease agreement.

We generally expect that the aggregate maintenance reserve and lease end adjustment payments we receive from lessees will meet the aggregate maintenance contributions and lease end adjustment payments that we will be required to make. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received $17.4 million of maintenance payments from lessees and made maintenance payment disbursements of $10.1 million.

Share Repurchases

In August 2019, our board of directors approved a $50.0 million share repurchase program which expired in September 2020. Under this program, Fly was able to make share repurchases from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased 417,341 shares at an average price of $15.57 per share, or $6.5 million, before commissions and fees.

Financing

We finance our business with unsecured and secured borrowings. As of September 30, 2020, we were not in default under any of our borrowings.

Unsecured Borrowings

On October 3, 2014, we sold $325.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 6.375% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”). On October 16, 2017, we sold $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 5.250% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”).

The 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of ours and rank pari passu in right of payment with any existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of ours. The 2021 Notes have a maturity date of October 15, 2021 and the 2024 Notes have a maturity date of October 15, 2024.

Interest on the 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, accrued interest on unsecured borrowings totaled $16.8 million and $7.7 million, respectively.

Pursuant to the indentures governing the 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes, we are subject to restrictive covenants which relate to dividend payments, incurrence of debt and issuance of guarantees, incurrence of liens, repurchases of common shares, investments, disposition of aircraft, consolidation, merger or sale of our company and transactions with affiliates. We are also subject to certain operating covenants, including reporting requirements. Our failure to comply with any of the covenants under the indentures governing the 2021 Notes or 2024 Notes could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, may result in the acceleration of the indebtedness thereunder and other indebtedness containing cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions. Certain of these covenants will be suspended if the 2021 Notes or 2024 Notes obtain an investment grade rating.

Secured Borrowings

As of September 30, 2020, we had $1.5 billion principal amount outstanding on our secured borrowings.

We are subject to restrictive covenants under our secured borrowings which relate to the incurrence of debt, issuance of guarantees, incurrence of liens or other encumbrances, the acquisition, substitution, disposition and re-lease of aircraft, maintenance, registration and insurance of our aircraft, restrictions on modification of aircraft and capital expenditures, and requirements to maintain concentration limits.

Our loan agreements include events of default that are customary for these types of secured borrowings. Our failure to comply with any restrictive covenants, or any other operating covenants, may trigger an event of default under the relevant loan agreement. In addition, certain of our loan agreements contain cross-default provisions that could be triggered by a default under another loan agreement.

Securitization Notes

On March 14, 2019, B&B Air Funding redeemed all remaining aircraft lease-backed Class G-1 notes (the “Securitization Notes”) issued on October 2, 2007 and with an original maturity date of November 14, 2033, in the aggregate principal amount then-outstanding of $63.8 million. In connection with the redemption, we expensed approximately $1.9 million of debt extinguishment costs.

Nord LB Facility

As of September 30, 2020, we had $62.2 million principal amount outstanding under our non-recourse debt facility with Norddeutsche Landesbank Gironzentrale (the “Nord LB Facility”), which was secured by three aircraft. The Nord LB Facility is structured with loans secured by each aircraft individually. The loans are cross-collateralized and contain cross-default provisions. Borrowings are secured by Fly’s equity interests in the aircraft owning subsidiaries, the related leases, and certain deposits.

The loans under the Nord LB Facility bear interest at one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.85% until the maturity date of May 14, 2021. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the blended weighted average interest rate for the facility was 2.00% and 3.59%, respectively, excluding the amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs.

Under the terms of the Nord LB Facility, we apply 95% of lease rentals collected towards interest and principal. If no lease rental payments are collected in the applicable period for any financed aircraft, then no payment is due under the loan associated with that aircraft during such period. Any unpaid interest increases the principal amount of the associated loan.

In the event we sell any of the financed aircraft, substantially all sale proceeds (after payment of certain expenses) must first be used to repay the debt associated with such aircraft and then to repay the outstanding amounts which finance the remaining aircraft. In addition, any maintenance reserve amounts retained by us will be used to prepay the Nord LB Facility, provided such reserves are not required for future maintenance of such aircraft.
 
2012 Term Loan
 
As of September 30, 2020, we had $368.6 million principal amount outstanding under our senior secured term loan (the “2012 Term Loan”), which was secured by 30 aircraft. Fly has guaranteed all payments under the 2012 Term Loan. The maturity date of the 2012 Term Loan is August 9, 2025. The 2012 Term Loan can be prepaid in whole or in part at par.

The 2012 Term Loan bears interest at three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75%. The weighted average interest rate on all outstanding amounts was 3.35% and 4.15% as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, excluding the amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs.

The 2012 Term Loan requires that we maintain a maximum loan-to-value ratio (“LTV”) of 70.0% based on the lower of the mean or median of half-life adjusted base values of the financed aircraft as determined by three independent appraisers on a semi-annual basis. The 2012 Term Loan also includes certain customary covenants, including reporting requirements and maintenance of credit ratings.

2020 Term Loan

On October 15, 2020, we entered into a $180.0 million senior secured term loan (the "2020 Term Loan") with a consortium of lenders. The 2020 Term Loan will mature on the earlier of (i) October 15, 2025 and (ii) the date falling 30 days prior to the maturity of the 2024 Notes if not redeemed. The 2020 Term Loan was issued at a discount of 4.5%. The 2020 Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 6.00%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00% and requires quarterly principal payments of 1.25% of the original loan amount. The 2020 Term Loan can be prepaid in whole or in part on or after October 15, 2021 without any prepayment premium. We have guaranteed the 2020 Term Loan.

The 2020 Term Loan will be secured by 11 aircraft, including seven aircraft which had previously been secured by the 2012 Term Loan and four unencumbered aircraft. We were not required to repay any debt associated with those seven aircraft and they have been removed from the collateral pool associated with the 2012 Term Loan.

The 2020 Term Loan includes certain customary covenants, including reporting requirements, maintenance of credit ratings and maintenance of insurance. In addition, we are required to maintain a minimum liquidity level of at least $100 million for as long as the 2021 Notes remain outstanding, the failure of which will result in a step-up in margin by 2.00% per annum.  The aggregate principal amount outstanding as measured on a quarterly basis must not exceed 70.0% of the lower of the mean or median of the half-life adjusted base values of the financed aircraft, as determined by three independent appraisers (the “LTV Test”). We are required to seek new appraisals semi-annually.

Upon the sale of an aircraft, we may substitute aircraft into the 2020 Term Loan subject to certain conditions. The substitute aircraft must have an appraised value equal to or greater than the aircraft removed from the 2020 Term Loan. In addition, we must be in compliance with specified concentration limits, including aircraft type, geographic and lessee concentration limits, as well as the LTV Test after such sale, removal or substitution.

Magellan Acquisition Limited Facility

As of September 30, 2020, we had $258.8 million principal amount outstanding in loans and notes under our term loan facility (the “Magellan Acquisition Limited Facility”), which was secured by nine aircraft. Fly has guaranteed all payments under this facility. The Magellan Acquisition Limited Facility has a maturity date of December 8, 2025.

The interest rate on the loans is based on one-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.65% per annum. The interest rate on the notes is a fixed rate of 3.93% per annum. The weighted average interest rate on all outstanding amounts was 3.95% and 4.11% as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, excluding the amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs.

The facility contains financial and operating covenants, including a covenant that Fly maintain a tangible net worth of at least $325.0 million, as well as customary reporting requirements. The borrower is required to maintain (i) an interest coverage ratio and (ii) a LTV of (a) 75% through December 8, 2020, (b) 70% from December 9, 2020 through December 8, 2022, (c) 65% from December 9, 2022 through December 8, 2024 and (d) 60% thereafter. The LTV is based on the lower of the average half-life adjusted current market value and base value of all aircraft financed under the facility as determined by three independent appraisers on an annual basis. Upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including a failure by Fly to maintain a minimum liquidity of at least $25.0 million, the borrower will be required to deposit certain amounts of maintenance reserves and security deposits received into pledged accounts. Also, upon the occurrence of a breach of the interest coverage ratio, all cash collected will be applied to repay the outstanding principal balance of the loans and notes until such breach is cured.

Fly Acquisition III Facility

On October 22, 2019, we paid in full the outstanding principal balance under a revolving credit facility (the “Fly Acquisition III Facility”) with an original maturity date of February 26, 2022. We had paid commitment fees of 0.50% to 0.75% per annum to the lenders on the undrawn amount of their commitments during the availability period under the Fly Acquisition III Facility, which expired on February 26, 2019.

The interest rate under the facility was based on one-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of (i) 2.00% through February 26, 2019 and (ii) 2.50%, from February 27, 2019 through the repayment date of the facility.

Fly Aladdin Acquisition Facility

As of September 30, 2020, we had an aggregate of $235.3 million principal amount outstanding of Series B loans under our term loan facility (the “Fly Aladdin Acquisition Facility”), which were secured by 14 aircraft. Series B loans have a maturity date of June 15, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repaid Series A loans in full and a portion of Series B loans and expensed approximately $2.0 million of debt extinguishment costs.

The interest rate on Series B loans is based on three-month LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 1.80% per annum. The weighted average interest rate on all outstanding amounts was 4.83% and 4.85% as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, excluding the amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs. We make scheduled quarterly payments of principal and interest on the loans in accordance with a fixed amortization schedule.

Borrowings are secured by the aircraft and related leases, and the equity and beneficial interests in the aircraft owning and leasing subsidiaries. In addition, Fly has provided a guaranty of certain of the representations, warranties and covenants under the Fly Aladdin Acquisition Facility (including, without limitation, the borrowers’ special purpose covenants), as well as the obligations, upon the occurrence of certain conditions, to deposit maintenance reserves and security deposits received into pledged accounts.

The facility contains operating covenants, including covenants that the borrowers maintain a (i) debt service coverage ratio and (ii) LTV ratio of (a) 68% through December 14, 2020, (b) 65% from December 15, 2020 through June 14, 2021, (c) 63.5% from June 15, 2021 through December 14, 2021, (d) 62% from December 15, 2021 through June 14, 2022, (e) 60% from June 15, 2022 through December 14, 2022 and (f) 58% thereafter. The LTV is based on the average of the half-life adjusted current market value of all financed aircraft as determined by three independent appraisers on a semi-annual basis.

Upon the occurrence of certain events, including a breach of the debt service coverage ratio continuing for two consecutive quarterly payment dates, Fly will be required to deposit, or cause the borrowers to deposit, all maintenance reserves and security deposits received under the associated leases into pledged accounts. Also, upon the occurrence of a breach of the LTV ratio and certain other events, all cash collected will be applied to repay the outstanding principal balance of Series B loans until such breach is cured. The LTV ratio was breached in the third quarter of 2020. As a consequence of entering into deferral agreements with our lessees, in the fourth quarter of 2020, the debt service coverage ratio was breached for two consecutive quarterly payment dates, requiring us to deposit approximately $7.6 million in cash maintenance reserves and security deposits received under the associated leases into pledged accounts.

Fly Aladdin Engine Funding Facility

As of September 30, 2020, we had $41.2 million principal amount outstanding under a term loan facility (the “Fly Aladdin Engine Funding Facility”), which was secured by seven engines. Fly has guaranteed all payments under this facility. The loans have maturity dates ranging from December 31, 2021 to April 30, 2022.

The interest rates for the borrowings range from 4.94% to 4.96% per annum, per engine. The weighted average interest rate on all outstanding amounts was 4.95% as of each of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, excluding the amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs. We are required to make scheduled monthly payments of principal and interest in accordance with an amortization schedule.

The loans are secured by the engines and related leases and our equity and beneficial interests in the engine owning entities. The Fly Aladdin Engine Funding Facility contains customary covenants, including various reporting requirements. A violation of any of these covenants could result in a default under the Fly Aladdin Engine Funding Facility.

Other Aircraft Secured Borrowings

We have entered into other aircraft secured borrowings to finance the acquisition of aircraft, one of which is denominated in Euros. As of September 30, 2020, we had $560.5 million principal amount outstanding of other aircraft secured borrowings, which were secured by 13 aircraft. Of this amount, $286.9 million was recourse to Fly. The weighted average interest rate on all outstanding amounts was 3.22% and 4.07% as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, excluding the amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs.

These borrowings are structured as individual loans secured by pledges of our rights, title and interests in the financed aircraft and leases. In addition, Fly may provide guarantees of its subsidiaries’ obligations under certain of these loans and may be subject to financial and operating covenants in connection therewith. One aircraft secured borrowing with a scheduled maturity date in December 2020 has been extended for 90 days. The maturity dates of other aircraft secured borrowings range from March 2021 to June 2028.

Capital Expenditures

During nine months ended September 30, 2020, we purchased flight equipment for an aggregate of $73.3 million.

We expect to make capital expenditures from time to time in connection with improvements to our aircraft. These expenditures include the cost of major overhauls and modifications. In general, the costs of operating an aircraft, including capital expenditures, increase with the age of the aircraft. As of September 30, 2020, the weighted average age of our portfolio was 8.3 years.

On February 28, 2018, we agreed to acquire 21 Airbus A320neo family aircraft to be leased to AirAsia Group Berhad and its affiliated airlines as the aircraft deliver from the manufacturer. The first of these aircraft was delivered in the fourth quarter of 2019. We also acquired options to purchase up to 20 Airbus A320neo family aircraft, not subject to lease (“Portfolio C”). We did not exercise our options with respect to any of the Portfolio C aircraft delivering in 2019. In August 2019, we exercised options with respect to eight Portfolio C aircraft to be delivered in 2020 and 2021. We have options remaining to purchase up to nine Portfolio C aircraft delivering between 2021 and 2025. Due to the impact of COVID-19, we expect that the delivery of the Portfolio B and Portfolio C aircraft will be delayed, and that no aircraft will deliver under these agreements in the next 12 months. We expect to fund aircraft acquisitions using cash on hand and secured borrowings.

Inflation

The effects of inflation on our operating expenses have been minimal. We do not consider inflation to be a significant risk to direct expenses in the current economic environment.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in the level of interest rates and the spread between different interest rates. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive due to many factors, including U.S. monetary and tax policies, U.S. and international economic factors and other factors beyond our control. We are exposed to changes in the level of interest rates and to changes in the relationship or spread between interest rates. Our primary interest rate exposures relate to our lease agreements and our floating rate debt obligations. As of September 30, 2020, we had 79 lease agreements and seven engine lease agreements. 80 of these lease agreements had fixed lease rates and six had floating lease rates based on LIBOR. Our floating rate indebtedness requires payments based on a variable interest rate index such as LIBOR. Therefore, increases in interest rates may reduce our net income by increasing the cost of our debt without any corresponding proportional increase in rents or cash flow from our leases.

We have entered into interest rate swap contracts to mitigate the interest rate fluctuation risk associated with our debt. We expect that these interest rate swap contracts will significantly reduce the additional interest expense that would be caused by an increase in variable interest rates.

Sensitivity Analysis

The following discussion about the potential effects of changes in interest rates is based on a sensitivity analysis, which models the effects of hypothetical interest rate shifts on our financial condition and results of operations. A sensitivity analysis is constrained by several factors, including the necessity to conduct the analysis based on a single point in time and by the inability to include the complex market reactions that normally would arise from the market shifts. Although the following results of a sensitivity analysis for changes in interest rates may have some limited use as a benchmark, they should not be viewed as a forecast. This hypothetical disclosure also is selective in nature and addresses only the potential impacts on our financial instruments and our variable rate leases. It does not include a variety of other potential factors that could affect our business as a result of changes in interest rates.

Assuming we do not hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, a hypothetical 100 basis-point increase or decrease in our variable interest rates would have increased or decreased our interest expense by $12.6 million on an annualized basis. A hypothetical 100 basis-point increase would have increased our revenues by $3.7 million on an annualized basis. A hypothetical 100 basis-point decrease would have decreased our revenues by $1.3 million on an annualized basis.

The fair value of our interest rate swap contracts is affected by changes in interest rates and credit risk of the parties to the swap. We determine the fair value of our derivative instruments using a discounted cash flow model which incorporates an assessment of the risk of non-performance by the swap counterparty and an evaluation of Fly’s credit risk in valuing derivative liabilities. The valuation model uses various inputs including contractual terms, interest rate curves, credit spreads, and measures of volatility. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and qualifies as an effective cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged item. Any derivative gains and losses that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recognized directly into income (loss). As of September 30, 2020, the fair value of our interest rate swap derivative liabilities, excluding accrued interest, was $48.0 million. A 100 basis-point increase in the interest rate would reduce the fair value of our derivative liabilities by approximately $20.5 million. A 100 basis-point decrease in the interest rate would increase the fair value of our derivative liabilities by approximately $21.5 million.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We receive substantially all of our revenue in U.S. Dollars. We have two leases pursuant to which we receive a portion of the rent amount in Euros. For these leases, a 10% increase or decrease in the Euro to U.S. Dollar exchange rate would increase or decrease the annual rental revenue by $1.2 million.

In 2018, we entered into a cross currency swap contract to mitigate our exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations in conjunction with one of these leases. As of September 30, 2020, the fair value of our cross currency swap derivative asset was $4.2 million. A 10% increase or decrease in the Euro to U.S. Dollar exchange rate would decrease or increase the fair value of our derivative asset by approximately $4.7 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2020, we had one aircraft secured borrowing denominated in Euros. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded an unrealized foreign currency exchange loss of $0.7 million associated with this borrowing, resulting primarily from a decrease in value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro. A 10% increase or decrease in the Euro to U.S. Dollar exchange rate on the Euro denominated borrowing at September 30, 2020 would have resulted in a $1.5 million unrealized foreign exchange loss or gain, respectively.

We pay substantially all of our expenses in U.S. Dollars. However, we incur some of our expenses in other currencies, primarily the Euro. Changes in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro and other currencies may increase the U.S. Dollar cost to us to pay such expenses. The portion of our business conducted in other currencies could increase in the future, which could expand our exposure to losses arising from currency fluctuations. Volatility in foreign exchange rates could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Except as presented below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Form 20-F. Capitalized terms used below but not defined herein have the meaning given to such terms in our Form 20-F.

Our Form 20-F is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov as well as our website at www.flyleasing.com. The information on our website or that can be accessed through our website neither constitutes a part of this interim report nor is incorporated by reference herein.

The COVID-19 pandemic and measures implemented in response to the pandemic may have a material adverse effect on us. The longer the pandemic persists, the more material the ultimate effects are likely to be. It is likely that there will be negative effects that we cannot presently predict, including near term effects, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and growth prospects.

On January 30, 2020, the spread of COVID-19 was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organization (“WHO”), and on March 11, 2020, the WHO characterized the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures governments and private parties have implemented in response to the pandemic, including travel restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place or total lock-down orders, social distancing measures, and other business limitations and shutdowns, have caused significant economic disruption and have had, and are likely to continue to have, a material adverse effect on the demand for worldwide air travel, the airline industry and demand for commercial jet aircraft globally, all of which have had and likely will continue to have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and growth prospects. The longer the COVID-19 pandemic persists, the more material the ultimate effects are likely to be. It is likely that there will be negative effects that we cannot presently predict, which may have a material adverse effect on us.

Airlines around the world have experienced a material decline in demand for their services as well as materially increased cancellations for pre-paid trips compared to historic norms, which is having, and is likely to continue to have, a material adverse effect on our lessees’ ability to fulfill their obligations under their leases to us. Moreover, governments around the world have implemented restrictions on air travel and may implement additional restrictions and other measures dissuading air travel in the future as a result of the pandemic, worsening the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the airline industry, our lessees and us.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we executed agreements with 14 lessees to defer their rent payment obligations for 35 aircraft totaling $59.9 million due to us over the life of the leases. These deferrals are for an average of nine months with approximately half of the deferrals to be repaid by the end of 2021. We have also agreed to lease restructurings with certain of our lessees.

Presented below are the rent deferrals granted and scheduled deferral repayments as of September 30, 2020. There can be no assurance that our lessees will make their payments in accordance with the deferral terms during the expected repayment periods or at all.

We expect that we may grant additional payment deferrals and extend the periods of repayment, and if the financial conditions of our airline customers do not improve, we may agree to further accommodations with some of our lessees.

We therefore anticipate a continued decline in our cash rent collections and operating lease revenue for the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we collected 53% of our pre-deferral contracted rent.

If we determine that the collectability of lessee rental payments, including those subject to deferral agreements, is not reasonably assured, our results of operations will be negatively affected. Rental income from aircraft and aircraft equipment is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the respective lease, and changes to the timing of cash rent receipts, such as under rent deferral arrangements, do not typically impact revenue recognition provided that we determine collection of rents is reasonably assured. However, if we determine that collection is not reasonably assured, we are required to recognize rental revenues using a cash rather than an accrual accounting method. Under the cash method, we recognize revenue based on the lesser of the straight-line rental income or the lease payments collected from the lessee, including security deposit amounts held.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, our operating lease revenue was reduced by $22.5 million with the placement of four lessees on non-accrual status in the third quarter of 2020, of which $7.3 million relates to prior periods. In addition, as of September 30, 2020, we had recorded a general provision for uncollectible operating lease receivables of $3.0 million. Placing additional lessees on non-accrual status or recording further provisions for uncollectible operating lease receivables could materially reduce our reported revenue and net income and negatively impact our financial condition.

In addition to deferrals of lease rents, the significant decline in air travel has resulted in decreased usage of our aircraft by lessees, which is likely to reduce future supplemental maintenance rent and end-of-lease compensation payable to us. Reductions in such payments would adversely affect our cash flows and may adversely affect our results of operations.

We expect that, even under current market conditions, our liquidity is sufficient to satisfy our anticipated operational and other business needs over the next 12 months, and that we will not suffer a default or event of default under any of our indebtedness.

As a consequence of entering into deferral agreements with our lessees, we have made and expect that we will continue to make principal and interest payments under certain secured borrowings from operating cash. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2020, we have deposited approximately $7.6 million in cash maintenance reserves and security deposits into pledged accounts associated with aircraft financed under the Fly Aladdin Acquisition Facility.

We have borrowed additional secured, recourse indebtedness to support our liquidity position during the COVID-19 pandemic, which may exacerbate the risks identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020, including those set forth under the heading “—Risks Related to our Indebtedness”. On October 15, 2020, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, we entered into a $180 million senior secured term loan (the "2020 Term Loan") with a consortium of lenders, as described in greater detail in our Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, dated October 15, 2020. We expect to receive proceeds from the 2020 Term Loan, net of issue discount and expenses, in the amount of $169.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The 2020 Term Loan is guaranteed by us.

We have experienced and may continue to experience lessee defaults as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our lessees, requiring us to repossess and remarket or dispose of aircraft or engines earlier than anticipated. The costs of repossession have increased in the current environment. Even if we are successful in repossessing aircraft, we may not be able to export or deregister the aircraft promptly or may otherwise incur unexpected maintenance or storage costs associated with repossessed aircraft that we are unable to place with another operator. Lessee defaults and related expenses could result in significant expenses and loss of revenues, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Further, as of September 30, 2020, 26 airlines globally had initiated bankruptcy or similar proceedings, and current market conditions have increased the likelihood that other airlines will experience bankruptcy. In June 2020, one of our lessees, Aeromexico entered bankruptcy proceedings and rejected its lease of our aircraft. The rejection of our aircraft, especially older aircraft, in bankruptcy or similar proceedings increases the likelihood that we may recognize impairment charges with respect to such aircraft. In addition, any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other restructuring of our lessees may result in the grounding of our aircraft, negotiating reductions in lease rentals or lease restructurings or rejection of our leases, all of which could drive potential impairment, depress aircraft market value and adversely affect our ability to timely re-lease or sell aircraft at favorable rates, if at all.

In addition, in response to the effects that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on airlines globally, many airlines have incurred and may continue to incur significant amounts of indebtedness. If our customers’ liquidity is materially diminished as a result of market conditions or their increased debt service obligations, they might not be able to timely meet their payment obligations under our leases or fulfill their other contractual commitments to us.

Under current market conditions, demand for leased aircraft and engines is severely constrained. This supply and demand imbalance is likely to depress lease rates for, and the value of, the aircraft and engines in our portfolio. We may be unable to remarket or sell aircraft or engines timely and on terms favorable to us, or at all, which could result in significant storage, maintenance and reconfiguration expenses, and loss of revenue, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on airlines’ demand for new aircraft and engines and on the ability of manufacturers to supply new aircraft and engines may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our growth prospects. Boeing and Airbus have reported customer order cancellations and deferrals, as well as delivery delays, due to the impact of COVID-19. We expect that the deliveries of the Portfolio B and Portfolio C aircraft which we agreed to acquire in connection with the AirAsia transactions will be delayed, and that no aircraft will deliver under these agreements in the next twelve months. These delivery delays have adversely impacted our results of operations and further delays with these deliveries or further adverse impacts of COVID-19 upon sale-and-leaseback opportunities with other airlines may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and growth prospects.

Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has led our Servicer to adopt remote working arrangements (which continue to remain in place for the principal offices of Fly and BBAM), and it is possible that such changes, or other new processes, procedures or controls that we adopt in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, may negatively affect our operations or internal controls over financial reporting. We also depend on certain key officers and employees, and should any of them become ill and unable to work, it could impact our productivity and business continuity.

The ultimate impact COVID-19 may have on our operational and financial performance is currently uncertain and will depend on the impact of COVID-19 on airlines worldwide, including our customers, the duration and spread of the pandemic, the impact of COVID-19 on overall long-term demand for air travel, and other factors that we cannot predict. For example, we are unable to predict whether the COVID-19 pandemic will result in permanent changes to the airline industry, with such changes including but not limited to, a permanent reduction in passenger air travel demand as a result of increased usage of "virtual" and "teleconferencing" products as a substitute for business travel and more broadly a general reluctance to travel by consumers, each of which could have a material impact on the airline industry, our lessees, and our business.

All of the foregoing may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and growth prospects. In addition, to the extent that the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, it also may have the effect of exacerbating the risks identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020, including those set forth under the heading “—Risks Related to our Business.”

(b)         Identification of Collateral Agent's Interest.  The Grantors agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to affix or cause the relevant Lessee to affix, as applicable and to the extent permitted under the relevant Lease, as promptly as practicable after the Effective Date or relevant Release Date, as applicable, and thereafter to maintain in the cockpit of each Pool Aircraft, in a clearly visible location, and on each Engine, a nameplate bearing the additional inscription "SUBJECT TO A SECURITY INTEREST IN FAVOR OF BANK OF UTAH, AS COLLATERAL AGENT" (such nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of any successor Collateral Agent).
 
(c)       Registration.  Each Grantor shall cause each Pool Aircraft to remain duly registered, under the laws of a country or jurisdiction that is not a Prohibited Country or that is the country in which such Pool Aircraft is registered as of the date hereof, in the name of the relevant Grantor and reflecting the applicable Grantor (and, if applicable, the applicable Intermediate Lessee) as lessor, in each case, if so permitted under the applicable registry; provided that a Pool Aircraft may be unregistered for a temporary period in connection with modification or maintenance of such Pool Aircraft.  The Collateral Agent agrees that it will cooperate with the relevant Grantor in changing the state of registration of any Pool Aircraft at the cost of the relevant Grantor and as the relevant Grantor may request, provided that such request does not conflict with the relevant Grantor's obligations under the Loan Documents.

Authorization and Action.  (a) Each Secured Party by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement hereby appoints and authorizes Bank of Utah as the initial Collateral Agent to take such action as trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and of the Loan Documents, and no implied duties and covenants shall be deemed to arise against the Collateral Agent.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Secured Party by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement hereby requests and instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into all Assigned Lease-related documents and instruments on this date and as may arise from time to time for the purpose of establishing and maintaining its security interest for itself and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties in respect of any Assigned Lease.
 
(b)         The Collateral Agent accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same but only upon the terms of this Agreement (including any quiet enjoyment covenants given to the Lessees) and agrees to receive and disburse all moneys received by it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The Collateral Agent in its individual capacity shall not be answerable or accountable under any circumstances, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (or simple negligence in the handling of funds or breach of any of its representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement) and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action or inaction of any Grantor or any other parties to any of the Loan Documents.
 
Section 5.02. Absence of Duties.  The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to the Collateral are solely to protect its interests in this Agreement and shall not impose any duty upon it, except as explicitly set forth herein, to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve or perfect rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.  The Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions or agreements on the part of any Grantor or Lessee.
 
- 27 -

Section 5.03. Representations or Warranties.  The Collateral Agent shall not make nor shall it be deemed to have made any representations or warranties as to the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document or instrument or as to the correctness of any statement contained in any thereof, or as to the validity or sufficiency of any of the pledge and security interests granted hereby, except that the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity hereby represents and warrants (a) that each such specified document to which it is a party has been or will be duly executed and delivered by one of its officers who is and will at such time be duly authorized to execute and deliver such document on its behalf, and (b) this Agreement is or will be the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity, enforceable against the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors' rights generally.
 
Section 5.04. Reliance; Agents; Advice of Counsel.  (a) The Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability to anyone as a result of acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties.  The Collateral Agent may accept a copy of a resolution of the board or other governing body of any party to this Agreement or any Loan Document, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary thereof or other duly authorized Person of such party as duly adopted and in full force and effect, as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by said board or other governing body and that the same is in full force and effect.  As to any fact or matter the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically described in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive and may for all purposes hereof conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting, on a certificate, signed by an officer of any duly authorized Person, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Collateral Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them in good faith in reliance thereon.  The Collateral Agent shall assume, and shall be fully protected in assuming, that each other party to this Agreement is authorized by its constitutional documents to enter into this Agreement and to take all action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, and shall not inquire into the authorization of such party with respect thereto.
 
(b)          The Collateral Agent may execute any of its powers hereunder or perform any duties under this Agreement either directly or by or through agents, including financial advisors, or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, provided, however, that the appointment of any agent shall not relieve the Collateral Agent of its responsibilities or liabilities hereunder.
 
(c)         The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel and any opinion of counsel or any advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it under this Agreement in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion of counsel.
 
(d)         The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of any of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Secured Party shall have offered to the Collateral Agent reasonable security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.
 
- 28 -

(e)        The Collateral Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Collateral Agent to perform, or be responsible or liable for the manner of performance of, any obligations of any Grantor under any of the Loan Documents.
 
(f)         If the Collateral Agent incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an exercise of remedies specified in Section 3.01, such expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law or law relating to creditors' rights generally.
 
(g)         The Collateral Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of an Event of Default unless the Collateral Agent obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Collateral Agent receives written notice of such event from any of the Secured Parties.
 
(h)        The Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to monitor the performance of any Grantor or any other party to the Loan Documents, nor shall the Collateral Agent have any liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by such parties.  The Collateral Agent shall not have any liability in connection with compliance by any Grantor or any Lessee under a Lease with statutory or regulatory requirements related to the Collateral, any Pool Aircraft or any Lease.  The Collateral Agent shall not make or be deemed to have made any representations or warranties with respect to the Collateral, any Pool Aircraft or any Lease or the validity or sufficiency of any assignment or other disposition of the Collateral, any Pool Aircraft or any Lease.
 
Section 5.05. Cape Town Convention.  The Collateral Agent, during the term of this Agreement, shall establish and maintain a valid and existing account as a Transacting User Entity with the International Registry and appoint an Administrator and/or a Professional User Entity to make registrations in regard to the Collateral as required by this Agreement.
 
Section 5.06. No Individual Liability.  The Collateral Agent shall not have any individual liability in respect of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, and all shall look, subject to the lien and priorities of payment provided herein and in the Loan Documents, only to the property of the Grantors (to the extent provided in the Loan Documents) for payment or satisfaction of the Secured Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c)        The Collateral Agent shall be an Eligible Institution, if there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder and unless such institution is an Affiliate of a Secured Party or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, reasonably acceptable to FLL.

Section 8.04. Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired.
 
Section 8.05. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments.  Subject to Section 8.06, this Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the earlier of the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations then outstanding to the Secured Parties, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, permitted transferees and permitted assigns.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing subsection (c), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party in accordance with the terms thereof to any other permitted Person or entity, and such other permitted Person or entity shall thereupon become vested with all the rights in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise.
 
Section 8.06.

- 35 -

(b)          Upon the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations then outstanding, the pledge, assignment and security interest granted by Section 2.01 hereof shall terminate, the Collateral Agent shall cease to be a party to this agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement (except for this Section 8.06(b)) relating to the Secured Obligations, the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent shall cease to be of any effect insofar as they relate to the Secured Obligations, the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent.  Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent will, at the relevant Grantor's expense, execute and deliver to each relevant Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall prepare and reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(c)          The Collateral Agent agrees to release any Lien the Collateral Agent may have upon any Engine upon (i) a Grantor providing the Collateral Agent with written notice of a transfer thereof promptly after receipt of a notice thereof from the relevant Lessee and with a copy of the bill of sale or other instrument evidencing the transfer of title of such replacement Engine to a Grantor, (ii) in the case of the transfer of title to an Engine initiated by a Grantor, the Grantor providing the Collateral Agent with a certificate of such transfer and a copy of the bill of sale or other instrument evidencing the transfer of title of a replacement Engine to a Grantor, or (iii) upon the total loss payment or Loan repayment being received (or replacement aircraft being provided) in a case where the Airframe, but not such Engine, was the subject of a total loss; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall not release any Lien upon an Engine that is not replaced by a Grantor or a Lessee, unless such Engine is associated with an aircraft that was subject to a total loss or otherwise removed from the Designated Pool.  The Borrower shall at the request of the Collateral Agent execute a supplement to this Agreement to evidence that any such replacement Engine has become subject to the Lien of this Agreement and the Collateral Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, execute a supplement to this Agreement to evidence the release of the applicable Engine from the Lien of the Collateral Agent.
 
(d)          The Lenders and the Collateral Agent agree that they will not claim, and upon the request of the relevant Grantor, the Collateral Agent will confirm in writing that it does not claim, any right, title or interest in any engine or part (including any audio visual, telephonic, entertainment or similar equipment) that is installed on a Pool Aircraft which does not constitute an "engine" or "part" as defined in the applicable Lease.

(c)          The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the "Register").  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender's Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  The Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Commitments and the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided that, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender's Commitments or the Borrower's Obligations in respect of any Loan.  The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower's agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.05 and the Borrower hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute "Indemnitees."

(a)           Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.  (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes.  If, however, applicable Laws require the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.
 
(ii)         If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall be required to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A)  the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall withhold or make such deductions as are required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any such required withholding or the making of all such required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.08(a)(ii)(C)) the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
 
(b)          Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.
 
- 41 -

(c)         Tax Indemnifications.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 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) withheld or deducted by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent from payments made under this Agreement (to the extent no increased payment has been made in accordance with Section 2.08(a)(ii)(C) on account of such withholding or deduction) or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, 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 relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent, on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(d)          Evidence of Payments.  Upon request by the Borrower, or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower, by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.08, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent.
 
(e)        Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.  (i)  Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, (C) such Lender's entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender's status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction and (D) the applicability of or compliance with any obligations in respect of the exchange of information by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent under or in connection with or in respect of FATCA, the Cayman FATCA Legislation, or  other  Tax Account Reporting Rules; provided that, in such Lender's reasonable discretion, such documentation, or its completion, execution or submission, would not prejudice the legal position of such Lender, including any of its lending offices, or cause such Lender or any of its lending offices to suffer any economic, legal, or regulatory disadvantage (unless indemnified against in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Lender), or would be either (x) commercially impracticable (including as a result of any existing confidentiality undertakings) or (y) contrary to the constitutional rules or regulations of the Lender or its lending offices.
 
(ii)          Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) at the request and expense of the Borrower, take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it as determined in the sole good faith discretion of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower and/or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, make any withholding or deduction for Indemnified Taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.
 
- 42 -

(f)          Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender, as the case may be.  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund (or credit or offset against an Excluded Tax in lieu of a cash refund of a Tax or Other Tax) of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall, except in the event (and for so long as) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund (or credit or offset)), net of all Taxes resulting from such refund and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund (or credit or offset)); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential in its sole good faith discretion) to the Borrower or any other Person.
 
(g)          Illegality; Impracticality; Increased Costs.  (i) If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, or the making, maintaining or continuation of its Loans has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall be an "Affected Lender" and any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), (A) in the case of illegality, only if it is possible to eliminate such illegality by converting the Loans to Loans bearing interest based on the Base Rate, and in the case of impracticality or other circumstance described above not constituting illegality, all Loans of such Lender shall thereafter be converted to Loans that bear interest at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus, if a Liquidity Event has occurred and is continuing, the Step-Up Margin either on the last day of the Interest Period therefore, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans or (B) otherwise, solely in the case of illegality, prepay all Loans of such Lender either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid.
 
- 43 -

(h)          If any Change in Law shall:
 
 (i)          impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, 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;
 
 (ii)        subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.08 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or
 
 (iii)        impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement made by such Lender or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under or in respect of the Loan Documents then, within ten (10) Business Days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
 
(i)           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 Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by 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 Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.
 
(j)          A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, for the amounts specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.
 
(k)        Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower 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 six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
 
- 44 -

(l)          The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as "Eurocurrency liabilities"), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) days' prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice.
 
(m)         Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
 
 (i)          any conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loans on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
 
 (ii)         any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay or borrow any Loans on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or
 
(iii)        any assignment of a Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.06; (for the avoidance of doubt, such loss, cost or expense shall exclude any loss of anticipated profits and shall include any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loans).  For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this clause (m), each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Loan made by it at the LIBO Rate by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Loan was in fact so funded, with the result that the Borrower's obligation to compensate each Lender for its loss, profit and expense as provided in this clause (m) shall be deemed to be in the amount of the excess, if any, of the interest at such LIBO Rate on the applicable amount for the remainder of such Interest Period over interest at the LIBO Rate as it would be in effect if quoted on the applicable date on the applicable amount for the remainder of the Interest Period.
 
- 45 -

(n)          If any Lender requests compensation, the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or if any Lender gives a notice under this Section 2.08, then, without limiting the Borrower's rights under Section 2.11(b), such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.08 in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to this Section 2.08, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
 
(o)          All of the Borrower's obligations under this Section 2.08 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.
 
Section 2.09         Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.  (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent's Account in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date specified herein.  Upon identification of receipt of funds, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Loans (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's Lending Office. For the avoidance of doubt, until such time as the Administrative Agent is able to identify receipt of funds from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make payment to the Lenders. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
 
(b)         If at any time insufficient funds are received by the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly apply the funds as follows: (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties and (ii) second, to pay principal then due hereunder ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
 
(c)          If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to such Loan are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
 
- 46 -

(d)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the Effective Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Loans, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.03 and may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount in reliance upon such assumption. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the Loans available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount was made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Rate and (B) the customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter, the Base Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loans to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Loan. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount was made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.  Nothing in this Section 2.09(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
 
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
 
(e)          If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBO Rate for any Interest Period, or (c) the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the Loans shall be a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus, if a Liquidity Event has occurred and is continuing, the Step-Up Margin until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of the Loans.
 
(f)          The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by the Lenders simultaneously on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender's obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender's obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.
 
- 47 -

(g)         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 any of the Loans made by it resulting in such Lender's receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans 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:
 
(i)          if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
 
(ii)         the provisions of this subsection (g) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions this subsection (g) shall apply).

Each Borrower Party 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 such Borrower Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower Party in the amount of such participation.

(a)          Sale of Pool Aircraft.  The Borrower may sell any Pool Aircraft if (i) the Borrower shall have provided at least three (3) days' revocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly thereafter notify the Lender Parties) prior to any such sale of a Pool Aircraft, (ii) after giving pro forma effect to such sale and prepayment of any Pool Aircraft, the Borrower shall be in compliance with Section 5.16(a), (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iv) after giving pro forma effect to such sale, the Designated Pool shall continue to satisfy the Pool Specifications and (v) the Borrower shall have prepaid (or is concurrently therewith, prepaying) the Loans in accordance with Section 2.06(b) and (c) if such prepayment is required after the Borrower has taken any other actions to comply with Section 5.16.  Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to any Pool Aircraft, the Collateral Agent's security interest in, and Lien on, such Pool Aircraft (and any other Aircraft Assets directly related to such Pool Aircraft) and/or any related Equity Collateral shall be automatically released, and Schedule 3.17(a) shall be amended to reflect the removal of such Pool Aircraft from the Designated Pool. The Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower's expense, all documents that the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence its release of the security interests in, and Liens on, the applicable Pool Aircraft (and any other Aircraft Assets directly related to such Pool Aircraft) and/or any related Equity Collateral.

(E)          immediately following such Qualified Aircraft becoming a Pool Aircraft, the Designated Pool shall continue to satisfy the Pool Specifications after giving pro forma effect to such addition; and

Section 2.11         Defaulting Lenders; Removal or Replacement of a Lender.
 
(a)          Defaulting Lenders.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a "Lender" for purposes of any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents that requires the approval of the Required Lenders.  During any Default Period with respect to a Funds Defaulting Lender that is not also an Insolvency Defaulting Lender, (a) any amounts that would otherwise be payable to such Funds Defaulting Lender with respect to its Commitments under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, voluntary and mandatory prepayments and fees) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Funds Defaulting Lender, at the written direction of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, be retained by the Administrative Agent and applied in the following order of priority:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Funds Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and to collateralize indemnification and reimbursement obligations of such Funds Defaulting Lender in an amount reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, and second, to the payment of the Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Loans of such Funds Defaulting Lender) as if such Funds Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Funds Defaulting Lender; and (b) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender.  During any Default Period with respect to an Insolvency Defaulting Lender, any amounts that would otherwise be payable to such Insolvency Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, voluntary and mandatory prepayments and fees) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Insolvency Defaulting Lender, at the written direction of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to the extent permitted under applicable law, be retained by the Administrative Agent to collateralize indemnification and reimbursement obligations of such Insolvency Defaulting Lender in an amount reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.  No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section  2.11(a), performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or the operation of this Section 2.11(a).  So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Lender shall not be a Hedge Counterparty with respect to any Hedge Agreement entered into while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender.  The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.11(a) are in addition to other rights and remedies which the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender as a result of it becoming a Defaulting Lender and which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the existence of any Funds Defaulting Lender or Insolvency Defaulting Lender.
 
- 54 -

(b)          Removal or Replacement of a Lender.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an "Increased‑Cost Lender") shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.08 or 2.09, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after the Borrower's request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (ii) the Default Period for such Defaulting Lender shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after the Borrower's request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 9.05(b), the consent of the Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each, a "Non‑Consenting Lender") whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased‑Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non‑Consenting Lender (the "Terminated Lender"), the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a "Replacement Lender") in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06 and the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased-Cost Lender, a Non-Consenting Lender or an Insolvency Defaulting Lender, and the Funds Defaulting Lender (if not also an Insolvency Defaulting Lender) shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from such Defaulting Lender; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, such Terminated Lender shall have received payment from the Replacement Lender (to the extent of outstanding principal) or the Borrower (in the case of accrued interest and fees) in an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) an amount equal to all unreimbursed advances that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued but theretofore unpaid fees, if any, owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.07; (2) on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.09; or otherwise as if it were a prepayment and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non‑Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non‑Consenting Lender.  Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender's Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a "Lender" for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.  Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and is authorized by each Lender (which authorization is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 9.06 on behalf of a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 9.06.

- 83 -

Section 7.02         Contribution.  Subject to Section 7.03, each Guarantor Party hereby unconditionally agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Article VII, such Guarantor Party in its capacity as such will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor Party so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents.
 
Section 7.03       Guaranty Absolute.  Subject to Section 7.10, each Guarantor Party guarantees that its Guaranteed Obligations will be paid in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto.  The Obligations of each Guarantor Party under or in respect of this Article VII are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Borrower Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor Party to enforce this Article VII, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Borrower Party or whether any other Borrower Party is joined in any such action or actions.  Subject to Section 7.10, the liability of each Guarantor Party under this Article VII shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, and each Guarantor Party hereby irrevocably waives any defenses (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:
 
(a)          any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;
 
(b)          any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of its Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Borrower Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in its Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;
 
(c)         any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of security interest in or Lien on any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of its Guaranteed Obligations;
 
(d)          any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of its Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of its Guaranteed Obligations or any other Secured Obligations of any Borrower Party under the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
 
- 84 -

(e)          any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
 
(f)          any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Borrower Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Borrower Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each Guarantor Party waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information);
 
(g)          the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any other guarantor or surety with respect to its Guaranteed Obligations; or
 
(h)         any other circumstance or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower Party or any guarantor or surety other than satisfaction in full of the Obligations.
 
This Article VII shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of such Guarantor Party's Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, winding up or reorganization of any Borrower Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
 
In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor Party agrees as follows:
 
(a)          the obligation pursuant to this Article VII is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability, and is a primary obligation of each Guarantor Party and not merely a contract of surety;
 
(b)          the Administrative Agent may enforce the Guaranteed Obligations upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Borrower Party and any Secured Party with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;
 
(c)          the obligations of each Guarantor Party hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor Party) of the obligations of the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor Party whether or not any action is brought against the Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;
 
(d)          payment by any Guarantor Party of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor Party's liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor Party's covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor Party from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor Party, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor Party's liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;
 
- 85 -

(e)          any Secured Party, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor Party's liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor Party) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Secured Party in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Secured Party may have against any such security, in each case as such Secured Party in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the applicable Hedge Agreement and any Security Document including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor Party against any other creditor or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents or any Hedge Agreements; and
 
(f)         this Article VII and the obligations of Guarantor Parties hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor Party shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents or any Hedge Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Loan Documents any of the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Loan Document, such Hedge Agreement or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Loan Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Secured Party might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Secured Party's consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Borrower Party and any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set‑offs or counterclaims which any Borrower Party may allege or assert against any Secured Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor Party as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(b)          Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty.  Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the guaranty set forth in Article VII, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

(d)        Release of Collateral and Guarantees, Termination of Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, but without limiting any other provision therein providing for the partial release of any Collateral, when all Obligations (other than obligations in respect of any Hedge Agreement) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired, upon request of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Hedge Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Hedge Agreements. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 8.09        Withholding Taxes.  To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent, , did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Assignment Effective Date that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commit-ments or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.06, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).
 
(f)          Effect of Assignment.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section  9.06, as of the "Assignment Effective Date" (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a "Lender" hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans and Commitments as reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a "Lender" for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 9.08) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided, anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon the Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

(ii)         The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post‑default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant's participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant's participation is not increased as a result thereof), (B)  consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Security Documents or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the guaranty set forth in Article VII (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating.
 
(iii)        The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.08 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided, (x) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.08 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent and (y) such participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.08(a) through 2.08(f), inclusive, unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Sections 2.08(a) through 2.08(f), inclusive, as though it were a Lender; provided, further, that, except as specifically set forth in clauses (x) and (y) of this sentence, nothing herein shall require any notice to the Borrower or any other Person in connection with the sale of any participation.  To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.04 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.09(g) as though it were a Lender.
 
- 104 -

(h)          Certain Other Assignments and Participations.  In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 9.06 any Lender may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no Lender, as between the Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided, further, that in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee, be considered to be a "Lender" or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.
 
(i)          Consent Rights of Joint Lead Arrangers to Actions By Collateral Agent.  Prior to the final completion of all primary assignments by each of RBC Capital Markets, LLC and MUFG Bank Ltd., any actions to be taken by the Collateral Agent in connection with the Loan Documents and/or the Collateral (including granting any consents or waivers) shall be subject to the consent of the Joint Lead Arrangers, and thereafter the Collateral Agent, to the extent not required to act on instructions of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, in the exercise of any discretionary right or power to approve the form or substance of any document or otherwise shall exercise such right or power after consultation with the Administrative Agent.
 
Section 9.07         Independence of Covenants.  All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
 
Section 9.08        Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.  All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Loan.  Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Borrower Party set forth in Sections 2.08, 2.09, 9.02, 9.03 and 9.04 and the agreements of the Lenders set forth in Sections 2.08, 2.09(g), 8.03(b) and 8.06 shall survive the payment of the Loans and the termination hereof.
 
Section 9.09        No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.  The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Loan Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements.  Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.
 
- 105 -

Section 9.10        Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.  Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.  To the extent that any Borrower Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (or to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders), or any Agent or Lender enforces any security interests or exercises any right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
 
Section 9.11         Severability.  In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
 
Section 9.12        Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders' Rights.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity.  The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
 
Section 9.13         Headings.  Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

- 107 -

Section 9.17       Confidentiality.  Each Agent and each Lender shall hold all non‑public information regarding the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such by the Borrower and obtained by such Agent or such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof ("Information") in accordance with such Agent's and such Lender's customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by the Borrower that, in any event, the Administrative Agent may disclose such information to the Lenders and each Agent and each Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender or Agent and to their respective agents and advisors (and to other Persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 9.17), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation of any Loans or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations (provided, such assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 9.17 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 9.17), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it; provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to Borrower Parties received by it from any Agent or any Lender, (iv) disclosures in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document and (v) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any successor thereto or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and each Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non‑public information prior to disclosure of such information.  In addition, each Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
 
Section 9.18        Usury Savings Clause.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.  If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect.  In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender's option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.
 
- 108 -

Section 9.19         Counterparts; Electronic Execution.  This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by fax or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document and the words "execution," "execute", "signed," "signature," and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, require that any such documents and signatures executed electronically or delivered by fax or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature executed electronically or delivered by fax or other electronic transmission.
 
Section 9.20        Effectiveness Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiary.  This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of written notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.
 
Section 9.21       PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Borrower Party that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower Party, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.  The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act.
 
- 109 -

Section 9.22         Electronic Execution of Documents.  The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
 
Section 9.23         No Fiduciary Duty.  Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the "Lenders"), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates.  Each Borrower Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Borrower Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other.  The Borrower Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm's-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Borrower Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Borrower Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Borrower Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Borrower Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person.  Each Borrower Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal, tax and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.  Each Borrower Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Borrower Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

The parties hereto agree that BBAM’s and BBAM Ireland’s appointment as Servicers may be terminated prior to the expiry of the Term at the election of the Company, by written notice to the Servicers, if a “Termination Event” occurs and is not cured within the applicable cure periods described below.  For purposes of this Section 10, each of the events described in the following paragraphs shall constitute a Termination Event:

Each of Servicers shall be entitled to resign their appointment prior to the expiry of the Term if the Company shall fail to pay in full any Fee, reimbursable expense or such other amount payable to the Servicers hereunder within 5 days after receipt of written notice from the Servicers of such failure.
 
Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event or any resignation of the Servicers pursuant to this Section 10, the Servicers shall as soon as reasonably practicable wind up their performance of the Services and, if applicable, reasonably assist the Company in transitioning to a replacement servicer.  So long as the Servicers are continuing to perform any of the Services, all provisions of this Agreement shall remain applicable, including provisions relating to the payment of Fees and reimbursement of expenses.  The Servicers shall continue in their role until a replacement servicer has assumed servicing responsibilities or the affairs of the Company in relation to the Aircraft have been wound up, as applicable; provided, however, in no event shall the Servicers be obligated to perform any of the Services during any period in which they are not be paid, nor shall the Servicers be obligated to assist in transitioning to a replacement servicer or winding up the Company for a period in excess of 120 days.  Within thirty (30) days following the date that the Servicers’ appointment terminates, all Fees that have been earned by the Servicers, but not yet paid, and all expenses and other amounts that have become payable hereunder to the Servicers, but not yet paid, shall be paid by the Company.

This Agreement is confidential and neither party shall disclose any or all of its content to any third party, other than to its affiliates and, in the case of the Servicers, any party to which it makes a delegation pursuant to Section 4 hereof, without the prior consent of the other party.
 
12.          Counterparts.
 
This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
 
13.          Amendment.
 
This Agreement shall not be amended or varied otherwise then by an instrument in writing executed by the parties hereto.

14.          Illegality.
 
If any provision of this Agreement becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired.
 
15.          No Services requiring authorisation.
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Servicers shall not and shall not be required to undertake any activity or perform any service that would require any Servicer to obtain an authorisation or registration from a regulatory or governmental authority, including the Central Bank of Ireland, pursuant to, inter alia, the European Union (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2017, the European Union (Insurance Distribution) Regulations 2018, the European Union (Payment Services) Regulations 2018, the European Union (Alternative Investment Fund Managers) Regulations 2013, the Central Bank Act 1971, the Central Bank Act 1997, the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act 2010 or any other applicable law (each as may be amended from time to time).
