Each loan to be extended under the Framework Agreement will be funded on or about the delivery date of each aircraft and will be secured by a first-priority security interest in the individual aircraft.  Each loan will have a 12-year term and will amortize quarterly on a mortgage-style basis.  Loans will bear interest payable quarterly on a floating rate basis; provided that the Company may elect in advance a fixed rate basis. 

Floating rate loans will bear interest at a rate of 3-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.55% to 1.60% depending on the aircraft.  Fixed rate loans, if elected by the Company, will bear interest based, in part, on the applicable LIBOR swap rate plus the applicable floating rate margin.
