Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or
more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or
other instruments under this Agreement, they may, but need not, be consolidated

Section 1.04. Acts of Certificateholders. (a) Any direction, consent,
--------------------------
waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by
Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments

an agent or proxy duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly
required pursuant to this Agreement, to the Company or any Loan Trustee. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Certificateholders
---
signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company
and any Loan Trustee, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds
or administer oaths that the Person executing such instrument acknowledged to
him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution
sworn to before any such notary or such other officer and where such execution
is by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a partnership,
on behalf of such corporation, association or partnership, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and
date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the
Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other reasonable manner
which the Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) In determining whether the Certificateholders of the
requisite Fractional Undivided Interests of Certificates Outstanding have given
any direction, consent or waiver (a "Direction") under this Agreement,
---------
Certificates owned by the Company, any Owner Trustee, any Owner Participant or
any Affiliate of any such Person thereof shall be disregarded and deemed not to
be Outstanding for purposes of any such determination. In determining whether
the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such Direction, only
Certificates which the Trustee in fact knows to be so owned shall be so
disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any such Person owns 100% of
the Certificates Outstanding, such Certificates shall not be so disregarded as
aforesaid, and
-15-
(ii) if any amount of Certificates so owned by any such Person have been pledged
in good faith, such Certificates shall not be disregarded as aforesaid if the
pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to
act with respect to such Certificates and that the pledgee is not the Company,
any Owner Trustee, any Owner Participant or any Affiliate of any such Person.
(d) For all purposes of this Agreement, all Initial
Certificates and all Exchange Certificates shall vote and take all other actions
of Certificateholders together as one series of Certificates.
(e) The Company may at its option, by delivery of an Officer's
Certificate to the Trustee, set a record date to determine the
Certificateholders entitled to give any consent, request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, waiver or other Act. Such record date shall be the record
date specified in such Officer's Certificate, which shall be a date not more
than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Certificateholders in connection
therewith. If such a record date is fixed, such consent, request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, waiver or other Act may be given before or
after such record date, but only the Certificateholders of record at the close
of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Certificateholders for the
purposes of determining whether Certificateholders of the requisite proportion
of Outstanding Certificates have authorized or agreed or consented to such
consent, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver or other Act,
and for that purpose the Outstanding Certificates shall be computed as of such
record date; provided that no such consent, request, demand, authorization,
--------
direction, notice, waiver or other Act by the Certificateholders on such record
date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement not later than one year after such record date.
(f) Any direction, consent, waiver or other action by the
Certificateholder of any Certificate shall bind the Certificateholder of every
Certificate issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu
thereof, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.
(g) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.04(c),
Certificates owned by or pledged to any Person shall have an equal and
proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement, without
preference, priority, or distinction as among all of the Certificates.

extent permitted by the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the Deposit Agreement

then the Trustee shall give the Depositary (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) a
notice of cancellation of such Notice of Purchase Withdrawal relating to such
Deposit or Deposits on such Applicable Delivery Date. Upon satisfaction of the
conditions specified in the Note Purchase Agreement and the Applicable
Participation Agreement, the Trustee shall purchase the applicable Equipment
Notes with the proceeds of the withdrawals of one or more Deposits made on the
Applicable Delivery Date in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement
and the Escrow Agreement. The purchase price of such Equipment Notes shall equal
the principal amount of such Equipment Notes. Amounts withdrawn from such
Deposit or Deposits in excess of the purchase price of the Equipment Notes or to
the extent not applied on the Applicable Delivery Date to the purchase price of
the Equipment Notes, shall be re-deposited by the Trustee with the Depositary on
the Applicable Delivery Date in accordance with the terms of the Deposit
Agreement.

TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL CERTIFICATE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN
WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR
SUCH SUCCESSOR'S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL
CERTIFICATE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 3.05 AND 3.06 OF THE PASS THROUGH
TRUST AGREEMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN.
Section 3.03. Authentication of Certificates. (a) The Trustee shall
------------------------------
duly execute, authenticate and deliver Certificates in authorized denominations
equalling in the aggregate the aggregate principal amount of the Equipment Notes
to be purchased by the Trustee pursuant to the Participation Agreements and
evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust.
(b) No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on
such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
provided for herein executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of
its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Certificate shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 3.04. Transfer and Exchange. The Trustee shall cause to be kept
---------------------
at the office or agency to be maintained by it in accordance with the provisions
of Section 7.12 of this Agreement a register (the "Register") for the
--------
Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of the Certificates
and of transfers and exchanges of the Certificates as herein provided. The
Trustee shall initially be the registrar (the "Registrar") for the purpose of
---------
registering the Certificates and transfers and exchanges of the Certificates as
herein provided. A Certificateholder may transfer or exchange a Certificate by
written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee
and otherwise complying with the terms of this Agreement, including providing a
written certificate or other evidence of compliance with any restrictions on
transfer; provided that no exchanges of Initial
--------
-22-
Certificates for Exchange Certificates shall occur until an Exchange Offer
Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC (notice of
which shall be provided to the Trustee by the Company). No such transfer shall
be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a
Certificateholder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer
by the Registrar in the Register. Prior to the registration of any transfer by a
Certificateholder as provided herein, the Trustee shall treat the person in
whose name the Certificate is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes,
and the Trustee shall not be affected by notice to the contrary. Furthermore,
DTC shall, by acceptance of a Global Certificate, agree that transfers of
beneficial interests in such Global Certificate may be effected only through a
book-entry system maintained by the Depositary (or its agent), and that
ownership of a beneficial interest in the Certificate shall be required to be
reflected in a book entry. When Certificates are presented to the Registrar with
a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal face amount
of Certificates of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register
the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such
transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges in
accordance with the terms, conditions and restrictions hereof, the Trustee shall
execute and authenticate Certificates at the Registrar's request. No service
charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the
Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment by the transferor of a sum
sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in
connection therewith.
Section 3.05. Book-Entry Provisions for U.S. Global Certificate and
-----------------------------------------------------
Offshore Global Certificates. (a) Members of, or participants in, DTC ("Agent
---------------------------- -----
Members") shall have no rights under this Agreement with respect to any Global
-------
Certificate held on their behalf by DTC, or the Trustee as its custodian, and
DTC may be treated by the Trustee and any agent of the Trustee as the absolute
owner of such Global Certificate for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee or any agent of the
Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by DTC or shall impair, as between DTC and its Agent
Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the
rights of a holder of any Certificate. Upon the issuance of any Global
Certificate, the Registrar or its duly appointed agent shall record a nominee of
DTC as the registered holder of such Global Certificate.
(b) Transfers of any Global Certificate shall be limited to
transfers of such Global Certificate in whole, but not in part, to nominees of
DTC, its successor or such successor's nominees. Beneficial interests in the
U.S. Global Certificate and any Offshore Global Certificate may be transferred
in accordance with the rules and procedures of DTC and the provisions of Section
3.06. Beneficial interests in the U.S. Global Certificate or an Offshore Global
Certificate shall be delivered to all beneficial owners in the form of U.S.
Physical Certificates or Offshore Physical Certificates, as the case may be, if
(i) the Company notifies the Trustee in writing that DTC is unwilling or unable
to discharge properly its responsibilities as DTC for the U.S. Global
Certificate or such Offshore Global Certificate, as the case may be, and the
Company is unable to locate a qualified successor depositary within 90 days of
such notice or (ii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, beneficial
owners of the U.S. Global Certificate or Offshore Global Certificates evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest
in the Trust, by Act of such Certificateholders delivered to the Company and the
Trustee, advise the
-23-
Company, the Trustee and DTC through its Clearing Agency Participants in writing
that the continuation of a book-entry system through DTC is no longer in the
best interests of the Certificateholders, then the Trustee shall notify all
owners of beneficial interests in the U.S. Global Certificate or an Offshore
Global Certificate, through DTC, of the occurrence of any such event and the
availability of definitive Certificates.
(c) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Certificates
that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in
the other Global Certificate will, upon such transfer, cease to be an interest
in such Global Certificate and become an interest in the other Global
Certificate and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer
restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in
such other Global Certificate for as long as it remains such an interest.
(d) [Intentionally omitted.]
(e) In connection with the transfer of the entire U.S. Global
Certificate or an entire Offshore Global Certificate to the beneficial owners
thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 3.05, such U.S. Global
Certificate or Offshore Global Certificate, as the case may be, shall be deemed
to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by DTC in
exchange for its beneficial interest in such U.S. Global Certificate or Offshore
Global Certificate, as the case may be, an equal aggregate principal amount of
U.S. Physical Certificates or Offshore Physical Certificates, as the case may
be, of authorized denominations.
(f) Any U.S. Physical Certificate delivered in exchange for an
interest in the U.S. Global Certificate pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section 3.05 shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraph (f) of Section
3.06, bear the Private Placement Legend.
(g) Any Offshore Physical Certificate delivered in exchange
for an interest in an Offshore Global Certificate pursuant to paragraph (b) of
this Section shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraph (f) of Section
3.06, bear the applicable legend regarding transfer restrictions set forth in
Section 3.02(a).
(h) The registered holder of the U.S. Global Certificate or
any Offshore Global Certificate may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any
Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through
Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this
Agreement or the Certificates.
Section 3.06. Special Transfer Provisions. Unless and until (i) an
---------------------------
Initial Certificate is sold under an effective Shelf Registration Statement or
(ii) an Initial Certificate is exchanged for an Exchange Certificate pursuant to
an effective Exchange Offer Registration Statement, in each case pursuant to the
terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the following provisions shall apply

procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the
date of the transfer and a decrease in the principal amount of such
U.S. Global Certificate in an amount equal to the principal amount of

transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the transferor or at its direction, one or
more U.S. Physical Certificates of like tenor and amount.
(b) Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall
-----------------
apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of an Initial
Certificate to a QIB (excluding Non-U.S. Persons):
(i) If the Certificate to be transferred consists of U.S.
Physical Certificates or an interest in any Temporary Offshore Global
Certificate, the Registrar shall register the transfer if such transfer
is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked the box provided
for on the form of Initial Certificate stating, or has otherwise
advised the Trustee and the Registrar in writing, that the sale has
been made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a
transferee who has signed the certification provided for on the form of
Initial Certificate stating, or has otherwise advised the Trustee and
the Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing the Initial Certificate
for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises
sole investment discretion and that it, or the Person on whose behalf
it is acting with respect to any such account, is a QIB within the
meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in
reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such
information regarding the Trust and/or the Company as it has requested
pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information
and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing
representations in order to claim the exemption from registration
provided by Rule 144A.
(ii) Upon receipt by the Registrar of the documents referred
to in clause (i) above and instructions given in accordance with DTC's
and the Registrar's procedures therefor, the Registrar shall reflect on
its books and records the date of such transfer and an increase in the
principal amount of the U.S. Global Certificate in an amount equal to
the principal
-25-
amount of the U.S. Physical Certificates or interests in the Temporary
Offshore Global Certificate, as the case may be, being transferred, and
the Trustee shall cancel such Physical Certificates or decrease the
amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Certificate so transferred.
(c) [Intentionally omitted.]
(d) Transfers of Interests in the Permanent Offshore Global
-------------------------------------------------------
Certificate or Offshore Physical Certificates. The Registrar shall register
---------------------------------------------
any transfer of interests in the Permanent Offshore Global Certificate or
Offshore Physical Certificates without requiring any additional certification.
(e) Transfers to Non-U.S. Persons at Any Time. The
-----------------------------------------
following provisions shall apply with respect to any registration of any
transfer of an Initial Certificate to a Non-U.S. Person:
(i) Prior to the Offshore Certificates Exchange Date, the
Registrar shall register any proposed transfer of an Initial
Certificate to a Non-U.S. Person upon receipt of a certificate
substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit C hereto from the
proposed transferor.
(ii) On and after the Offshore Certificates Exchange Date,
the Registrar shall register any proposed transfer to any Non-U.S.
Person if the Certificate to be transferred is a U.S. Physical

of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C from the
proposed transferor. The Registrar shall promptly send a copy of such
certificate to the Company.
(iii) Upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the documents, if

Physical Certificate, if any, so transferred or decrease the amount of
such U.S. Global Certificate.
(f) Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or
------------------------
replacement of Certificates not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the
Registrar shall deliver Certificates that do not bear the Private Placement
Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates bearing the
Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Certificates that
bear the Private Placement Legend unless either (i) the circumstances
contemplated by paragraph
-26-
(a)(i)(x) or (e)(ii) of this Section 3.06 exist or (ii) there is delivered to
the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that neither such legend nor

(g) General. By its acceptance of any Certificate bearing the
-------
Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the
restrictions on transfer of such Certificate set forth in this Agreement and
agrees that it will transfer such Certificate only as provided in this
Agreement. The Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Certificate unless
such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Certificate set
forth in this Agreement. In connection with any transfer of Certificates, each
Certificateholder agrees by its acceptance of the Certificates to furnish the
Registrar or the Trustee such certifications, legal opinions or other
information as either of them may reasonably require to confirm that such
transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not
subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided that
--------
neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be required to determine the
sufficiency of any such certifications, legal opinions or other information.
Until such time as no Certificates remain Outstanding, the
Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written
communications received pursuant to Section 3.05 or this Section 3.06. The
Trustee, if not the Registrar at such time, shall have the right to inspect and
make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any
reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.
Section 3.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a)
-------------------------------------------------
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Registrar or the Registrar
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Registrar and the Trustee such
security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Registrar or the Trustee that
such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate or
Certificates, in authorized denominations and of like Fractional Undivided
Interest and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under
this Section 3.07, the Trustee shall require the payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee
and the Registrar) connected therewith.
Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.07
shall constitute conclusive evidence of the appropriate Fractional Undivided
Interest in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen
or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.

Section 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a
---------------------
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Registrar and any
Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as
the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions
pursuant to Article IV and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the
Trustee, the Registrar or any Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary.
Section 3.09. Cancellation. All Certificates surrendered for payment or
------------
transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Trustee or any agent of the
Trustee other than the Registrar, be delivered to the Registrar for cancellation
and shall promptly be cancelled by it. No Certificates shall be authenticated in

Section, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All cancelled
Certificates held by the Registrar shall be destroyed and a certification of
their destruction delivered to the Trustee.
Section 3.10. Limitation of Liability for Payments. All payments and
------------------------------------
distributions made to Certificateholders shall be made only from the Trust
Property and only to the extent that the Trustee shall have sufficient income or
proceeds from the Trust Property to make such payments in accordance with the
terms of Article IV of this Agreement. Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance
of a Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the income and proceeds
from the Trust Property to the extent available for distribution to such
Certificateholder as provided in this Agreement.
Section 3.11. Temporary Certificates. Until definitive Certificates are
----------------------
ready for delivery, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Certificates.
Temporary Certificates shall be substantially in the form of definitive
Certificates but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other
variations determined to be appropriate by the officers executing the temporary
Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Certificates. If
temporary Certificates are issued, the Trustee will cause definitive
Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for
definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the
office or agency of the Trustee designated for such purpose pursuant to Section
7.12, without charge to the Certificateholder. Upon surrender for cancellation
of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like face amount of definitive
Certificates of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Certificates shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as
definitive Certificates.
Section 3.12. ERISA Restrictive Legend. All Certificates issued
------------------------
pursuant to this Agreement shall bear a legend to the following effect (the
"ERISA Legend") unless the Company and the Trustee determine otherwise

consistent with applicable law:
"BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER REPRESENTS FOR THE
BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY AND EACH OWNER PARTICIPANT THAT (A) IT IS NOT A PLAN
TRANSFEREE (AS DEFINED IN THE PASS THROUGH TRUST AGREEMENT) OR (B) ONE OR MORE
PROHIBITED TRANSACTION STATUTORY OR ADMINISTRATIVE EXEMPTIONS APPLIES SUCH THAT
THE USE OF PLAN ASSETS TO PURCHASE AND HOLD THIS PASS THROUGH CERTIFICATE WILL
NOT CONSTITUTE A NON-EXEMPT
-28-
PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE. THE PASS THROUGH
TRUST AGREEMENT CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE TRUSTEE TO REFUSE TO REGISTER
ANY TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS."
By acceptance of any Certificate bearing the ERISA Legend,
each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges for the benefit of the Company
and each Owner Participant the restrictions on transfer of such Certificate set
forth in this Agreement and agrees that it will transfer such Certificate only
as provided in this Agreement. The Registrar shall not register a transfer of
any Certificate unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer,
if any, of such Certificate set forth in this Agreement.

be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by such nominee.
(b) On each Special Distribution Date with respect to any

If the amount of (x) premium, if any, payable upon the redemption, prepayment or
purchase of an Equipment Note or (y) Special Redemption Premium has not been
calculated at the time that the Trustee mails notice of a Special Payment, it
shall be sufficient if the notice sets forth the other amounts to be distributed
and states that any such premium or Special Redemption Premium, as the case may
be, received will also be distributed.
If any redemption of the Equipment Notes held in the Trust is
cancelled, the Trustee, as soon as possible after learning thereof, shall cause

-31-
during such calendar year was a Certificateholder of record a statement
containing the sum of the amounts determined pursuant to clauses (a)(i),

Section 6.01. Events of Default. (a) Exercise of Remedies. Upon the
----------------- --------------------
occurrence and during the continuation of any Indenture Default under any
Indenture, the Trustee may, to the extent it is the Controlling Party at such
time, direct the exercise of remedies as provided in the Intercreditor
Agreement.
(b) Purchase Rights of Certificateholders. At any time after
-------------------------------------
the occurrence and during the continuation of a Triggering Event, each
Certificateholder shall have the right (which shall not expire upon any purchase
of the Class A Certificates pursuant to Section 6.01(b)(i) of the Class B Trust
Agreement) to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Class A Certificates
and the Class B Certificates upon ten (10) days' written notice to the Class A
Trustee, the Class B Trustee and each other Certificateholder provided that (A)
if prior to the end of such ten-day period any other Certificateholder notifies
such purchasing Certificateholder that such other Certificateholder wants to
participate in such purchase, then such other Certificateholder may join with
the purchasing Certificateholder to purchase all, but not less than all, of the
Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates pro rata based on the
principal amount of the Certificates held by each such Certificateholder and (B)
if prior to the end of such ten-day period any other Certificateholder fails to
notify the purchasing Certificateholder of such other Certificateholder's desire
to participate in such a purchase, then such other Certificateholder shall lose
its right to purchase the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates
pursuant to this Section 6.01(b).
The purchase price with respect to each Class of Certificates
shall be equal to the Pool Balance of such Class of Certificates, together with
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such purchase, without
premium, but including any other amounts then due and payable to the
Certificateholders of such Class under this Agreement, the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any Note Document or on or in respect of the
Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that (i) if such purchase occurs
-------- -------
after the record date specified in Section 2.03(b) of the Escrow Agreement
relating to the distribution of unused Deposits and accrued and unpaid interest
thereunder, such purchase price shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of
unused Deposits and
-34-
interest to be distributed under the Escrow Agreement (which deducted amounts
shall remain distributable to, and may be retained by the Certificateholder of
such Class as of such record date) and (ii) if such purchase occurs after a
Record Date, such purchase price shall be reduced by the amount to be
distributed hereunder on the related Distribution date (which deducted amounts
shall remain distributable to, and may be retained by, the Certificateholder of
such Class as of such Record Date); provided further that no such purchase of
-------- -------
Certificates of any Class shall be effective unless the purchaser shall certify
to the Other Trustee for such Class that contemporaneously with such purchase,
such purchaser is purchasing, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the
Other Pass Through Trust Agreements, the Class A Certificates and the Class B
Certificates. Each payment of the purchase price of the Certificates of any
Class referred to in the first sentence hereof shall be made to an account or
accounts designated by the Other Trustee for such Class and each such purchase
shall be subject to the terms of this Section 6.01(b). The Class A Certificates
and Class B Certificates will be deemed to be purchased on the date payment of
the purchase price is made notwithstanding the failure of the Certificateholders
of any Class to deliver any Certificates of such Class (whether in the form of
Physical Certificates or beneficial interests in Global Certificates) and, upon
such a purchase, (i) the only rights of the Certificateholders of such Class
will be to deliver the Certificates of such Class to the purchaser and receive
the purchase price for the Certificates of such Class and (ii) if the purchaser
shall so request, such Certificateholder will comply with all the provisions of
Section 3.04 of the Other Pass Through Trust Agreement for such Class to enable
new Certificates of such Class to be issued to the purchaser in such
denominations as it shall request. All charges and expenses in connection with
the issuance of any such new Certificates of any Class shall be borne by the
purchaser thereof.
As used in this Section 6.01(b), the terms
"Certificateholder", "Class", "Class A Certificate" and "Class B Certificate",
shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Intercreditor
Agreement.

other capacity or any other Person may bid for and purchase any of the

retain, possess and dispose of such Equipment Notes in their own
absolute right without further accountability.
(2) Receipt of Trustee Shall Discharge Purchaser. The
--------------------------------------------
receipt of the Trustee or of the officer making such sale shall be a
sufficient discharge to any purchaser for his purchase money, and,
after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt, such
purchaser or its personal representative or assigns shall not be
obliged to see to the application of such purchase money, or be in any
way answerable for any loss, misapplication or non-application thereof.
-35-
(3) Application of Moneys Received upon Sale. Any moneys

exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee under this Agreement or
the Intercreditor Agreement, including any right of the Trustee as Controlling
Party under the Intercreditor Agreement or as holder of the Equipment Notes,
provided that
--------
(1) such Direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of
law or with this Agreement and would not involve the Trustee in
personal liability or expense,

directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Certificateholders not
taking part in such Direction, and

respect to the Certificates and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured for every purpose and any direction given by the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders to the relevant Loan Trustee shall
be annulled with respect thereto; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon. Upon any such waiver, the Trustee shall vote the Equipment Notes issued
under the relevant Indenture to waive the corresponding Indenture Default.
Section 6.06. Right of Certificateholders to Receive Payments Not to

Be Impaired. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,

Trustees and the Loan Trustees. In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, in the event the Trustee shall not have received instructions from the

notification, resign hereunder unless within such 30-day period the Trustee
shall have received notice that the Company has agreed to pay such tax. The
Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee in a jurisdiction where there
are no Avoidable Taxes.
(f) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of acting as trustee or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the
Trustee for any cause, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.
If, within 90 days after such resignation, removal or
-43-
incapability, or other occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be
appointed by Act of the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest
in the Trust delivered to the Company, the Owner Trustees, the Loan Trustees and
the retiring Trustee, and the Company approves such appointment, which approval

Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed as provided above. If no
successor Trustee shall have been so appointed as provided above and accepted
appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Certificateholder who has

himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute and deliver to the Company, the
Authorized Agents, the Owner Trustees and the Loan Trustees and to the retiring
Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on
request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all
such rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all Trust Property held by such
retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided
for in Section 7.07 and the retiring Trustee shall thereupon be released from
further liability hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the

corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this
--------
Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Certificates
-44-
shall have been executed or authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee
then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such

United States or any state, with a combined capital and surplus of at least
$75,000,000, and shall be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, subject to supervision by federal or state authorities. The Trustee

hereunder with respect to the Certificates. Each Registrar shall furnish to the
Trustee, at stated intervals of not more than six months, and at such other
times as the Trustee may request in writing, a copy of the Register maintained

written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Company, the Owner Trustees

one or more qualified successor Authorized Agents, reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee, to perform the functions of the Authorized Agent which has resigned
or whose agency has been terminated or who shall have ceased to be eligible
under this Section. The Company shall give written notice of any such
appointment made by it to the Trustee, the Owner Trustees and the Loan
-45-
Trustees; and in each case the Trustee shall mail notice of such appointment to
all Certificateholders as their names and addresses appear on the Register.

--------------------------------------------------
moneys deposited with any Paying Agent for the purpose of any payment on
Certificates shall be deposited and held in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders entitled to such payment, subject to the provisions of this
Section. Moneys so deposited and held in trust shall constitute a separate trust
fund for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to which such money
was deposited.
The Trustee may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Agreement or for any other purpose, direct
any Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying
Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon
which such sums were held by such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any
Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all
further liability with respect to such money.

undertaking to which it is a party, which violation, default or lien

on the transactions contemplated herein or therein; the execution,
delivery and performance by the Trustee of this Agreement, the Escrow
Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement
will not require the authorization, consent, or approval of, the giving
of notice to, the filing or registration with, or the taking of any
other action in respect of, any governmental authority or agency of the

general principles of equity.

agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever
any present or future taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with
respect to any amounts payable in respect of the Certificates, to withhold such
amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and
on behalf of the Certificateholders, that it will file any necessary withholding
tax returns or statements when due, and that, as promptly as possible after the
payment thereof, it will deliver to each such Certificateholder appropriate

the Trustee in respect of tax filing requirements. The Trustee shall be deemed
to have discharged its tax filing obligations under this Agreement upon its

any amendment, modification, waiver or supplement under any Indenture or other
Note Document or other related document, the Trustee shall forthwith send a
notice of such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or supplement to each
Certificateholder registered on the Register as of the date of such notice. The
Trustee shall request from the Certificateholders a Direction as to (a) whether
or not to take or refrain from taking (or to direct the Subordination Agent
-52-
to take or refrain from taking) any action which a holder of such Equipment Note
or the Controlling Party has the option to direct, (b) whether or not to give or

the relevant Loan Trustee of such consent (or direct the Subordination Agent to
consent and notify the relevant Loan Trustee of such consent) to any amendment,
modification, waiver or supplement under the relevant Indenture or any other
Note Document or other related document, if an Event of Default hereunder shall
have occurred and be continuing, or if such amendment, modification or waiver
will not materially adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders.
ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION OF TRUST
Section 11.01. Termination of the Trust. The respective obligations and
------------------------
responsibilities of the Company and the Trustee with respect to the Trust shall
terminate upon the distribution to all Certificateholders and the Trustee of all
amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement and the
disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Property; provided,
--------
however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond one hundred ten (110)
-------
years following the date of the execution of this Agreement.
In connection with the occurrence of the event set forth in
the paragraph above, notice of any termination, specifying the Regular
Distribution Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be) upon which
the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for
payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be mailed promptly,
upon notice to the Trustee, by the Trustee to Certificateholders not earlier
than the 60th day and not later than the 20th day next preceding such final
distribution specifying (A) the Regular Distribution Date (or Special
Distribution Date, as the case may be) upon which the proposed final payment of
the Certificates will
-53-
be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency
of the Trustee therein specified, (B) the amount of any such proposed final
payment, and (C) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Regular
Distribution Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be) is not
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. The
Trustee shall give such notice to the Registrar at the time such notice is given
to Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates in
accordance with such notice, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to
Certificateholders such final distribution pursuant to Section 4.02.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not
surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date
specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second
written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. No additional interest shall accrue on the Certificates after the
Regular Distribution Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be)
specified in the first written notice. In the event that any money held by the
Trustee for the payment of distributions on the Certificates shall remain
unclaimed for two years (or such lesser time as the Trustee shall be satisfied,
after sixty days' notice from the Company, is one month prior to the escheat
period provided under applicable law) after the final distribution date with
respect thereto, the Trustee shall pay to each Loan Trustee the appropriate
amount of money relating to such Loan Trustee and shall give written notice
thereof to the related Owner Trustees, the Owner Participants and the Company.

[REVERSE OF CERTIFICATE]
The Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or an
obligation guaranteed by, or an interest in, the Company or the Trustee or any
of their affiliates. The Certificates are limited in right or payment, all as
more specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement. All
payments or distributions made to Certificateholders under the Agreement shall
be made only from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Trustee
shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such
payments in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Each Certificateholder
of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely
to the income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for
distribution to such Certificateholder as provided in the Agreement. This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to
the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement may
be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trustee,
and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by any
Certificateholder upon request.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders
holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not
less than a majority in interest in the Trust. Any such consent by the
Certificateholder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such
Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and
of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in
lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this
Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain
limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of
the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Registrar, or
by any successor Registrar, in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York,
duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar duly executed by the
Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in minimum denominations of $100,000 Fractional Undivided Interest and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the
A-8
same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, as requested by the
Certificateholder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Trustee shall require payment by the Holder of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
The Trustee, the Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee or the
Registrar may treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Registrar, nor
any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the
Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to
the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust
Property.
