Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

The Company has entered into a Framework Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2014 ("Framework Agreement"), with BNP Paribas; Natixis, S.A.; Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen Girozentrale and KfW IPEX-Bank Gmbh, as initial senior lenders, and Investec Bank plc, as initial junior lender, providing for up to $379 million of debt financing for seven Airbus A320-200 aircraft and three Airbus A321-200 aircraft scheduled for delivery under the Company's existing purchase agreement with AVSA S.A.R.L. (Airbus) between October 2014 and September 2015.  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.  Wilmington Trust Company will act as security trustee.  Each loan will amortize quarterly on a mortgage-style basis, with senior loans having a 12-year term and junior loans having a 7-year term.  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 2.0%-2.1% for senior loans, depending on the type of aircraft, and 3-month LIBOR plus 5.15% for junior loans.  Fixed rate loans, if elected by the Company, will bear interest based on the sum of (i) the applicable LIBOR swap rate, (ii) the applicable senior or junior floating rate margin, and (iii) 0.15% for senior loans, or 0.18% for junior loans.  Each loan is prepayable with a premium prior to the second anniversary of such loan and at par thereafter. The closing of each loan will be subject to delivery and possession of the aircraft, execution and delivery of related loan and aircraft delivery documents and other customary conditions for transactions of this type. In addition, the loan for each aircraft will be cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized to the loans for the other aircraft that are subject to this transaction and each loan will include customary terms and provisions for transactions of this type, including covenants regarding maintenance, operation, registration, liens and insurance with respect to the aircraft, as well as defaults relating to payment and performance of loan obligations.
