TO HAVE AND TO HOLD all and singular the aforesaid property unto the
Mortgagee, and its successors and assigns, in trust for the equal and
proportionate benefit and security of the Loan Participants, the Note Holders
and the Indenture Indemnitees, except as provided in Section 2.14 and Article

date of maturity thereof or otherwise for any reason whatsoever, and for the
uses and purposes, and in all cases and as to all property specified in
paragraphs (1) through (8) inclusive above, subject to the terms and provisions
set forth in this Trust Indenture.
It is expressly agreed that anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall remain liable under the Indenture
Agreements to perform all of the obligations assumed by it thereunder, except to
the extent prohibited or excluded from doing so pursuant to the terms and
provisions thereof, and the Mortgagee, the Loan Participants, the Note Holders
and the Indenture Indemnitees shall have no obligation or liability under the

Agreements, or, except as herein expressly provided, to make any payment, or to

to be necessary or advisable in the premises. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, but subject to the rights of the Owner Trustee and the Owner
Participant under Sections 2.13, 4.03 and 4.04(a) hereof, during the continuance
of any Event of Default under this Trust Indenture, the Mortgagee shall have the
right under such power of attorney to accept any offer in connection with the
exercise of
12
-6-
remedies as set forth herein of any purchaser to purchase the Airframe and
Engines and upon such purchase to execute and deliver in the name of and on
behalf of the Owner Trustee an appropriate ▇▇▇▇ of sale and other instruments of
transfer relating to the Airframe and Engines, when purchased by such purchaser,
and to perform all other necessary or appropriate acts with respect to any such
purchase, and in its discretion to file any claim or take any other action or
proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of the Owner Trustee or
otherwise, which the Mortgagee may deem necessary or appropriate to protect and
preserve the right, title and interest of the Mortgagee in and to such Rents and
other sums and the security intended to be afforded hereby; provided, however,
that no action of the Mortgagee pursuant to this paragraph shall increase the
obligations or liabilities of the Owner Trustee to any Person beyond those
obligations and liabilities specifically set forth in this Trust Indenture and
in the other Operative Agreements. Under the Lease, Lessee is directed, so long
as this Trust Indenture shall not have been fully discharged, to make all
payments of Rent (other than Excluded Payments) and all other amounts which are
required to be paid to or deposited with the Owner Trustee pursuant to the Lease
(other than Excluded Payments) directly to, or as directed by, the Mortgagee at
such address or addresses as the Mortgagee shall specify, for application as
provided in this Trust Indenture. The Owner Trustee agrees that promptly upon
receipt thereof, it will transfer to the Mortgagee any and all monies from time
to time received by it constituting part of the Trust Indenture Estate, for
distribution by the Mortgagee pursuant to this Trust Indenture, except that the
Owner Trustee shall accept for distribution pursuant to the Trust Agreement any
amounts distributed to it by the Mortgagee under this Trust Indenture.
The Owner Trustee agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon
the written request of the Mortgagee, the Owner Trustee will promptly and duly
execute and deliver or cause to be duly executed and delivered any and all such
further instruments and documents as the Mortgagee may reasonably deem necessary
or desirable to perfect, preserve or protect the mortgage, security interests
and assignments created or intended to be created hereby or to obtain for the
Mortgagee the full benefits of the assignment hereunder and of the rights and
powers herein granted.
The Owner Trustee does hereby warrant and represent that it has not
assigned or pledged, and hereby covenants and agrees that it will not assign or
pledge, so long as the assignment hereunder shall remain in effect, and the Lien
hereof shall not have been released pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof, any of its
right, title or interest hereby assigned, to anyone other than the Mortgagee,
and that it will not, except as otherwise provided in this Trust Indenture and
except with respect to Excluded Payments to which it is entitled, (i) accept any
payment from Lessee under any Indenture Agreement, (ii) enter into any agreement
amending or supplementing any Indenture Agreement, (iii) execute any waiver or
modification of, or consent under, the terms of, or exercise any rights, powers
or privileges under, any Indenture Agreement, (iv) settle or compromise any
claim arising under any Indenture Agreement or (v)
13
-7-
submit or consent to the submission of any dispute, difference or other matter
arising under or in respect of any Indenture Agreement to arbitration
thereunder.
The Owner Trustee does hereby agree that it will not without the
written consent of the Mortgagee:
(a) receive or collect or agree to the receipt or collection of any
payment (other than Excluded Payments) of Rent, including Basic Rent, Stipulated
Loss Value, Termination Value or any other payment to be made pursuant to
Section 9 or 10 of the Lease prior to the date for the payment thereof provided
for by the Lease or assign, transfer or hypothecate (other than to the Mortgagee
hereunder) any payment of Rent, including Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value,
Termination Value or any other payment (other than Excluded Payments) to be made
pursuant to Section 9 or 10 of the Lease, then due or to accrue in the future
under the Lease in respect of the Airframe and Engines; or
(b) except as contemplated by the Trust Agreement in connection with
the appointment of a successor owner trustee, sell, mortgage, transfer, assign
or hypothecate (other than to the Mortgagee hereunder) its interest in the
Airframe and Engines or any part thereof or in any amount to be received by it
from the use or disposition of the Airframe and Engines, other than amounts
distributed to it pursuant to Article III hereof.
It is hereby further agreed that any and all property granted,
bargained, sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed, mortgaged, pledged or
confirmed in the granting clauses hereof which is hereafter acquired by the
Owner Trustee shall ipso facto, and without any other conveyance, assignment or
act on the part of the Owner Trustee or the Mortgagee, become and be subject to
the Lien herein granted as fully and completely as though specifically described
herein, but nothing contained in this paragraph shall be deemed to modify or
change the obligations of the Owner Trustee contained in the foregoing
paragraphs.
The Owner Trustee does hereby ratify and confirm the Lease and does
hereby agree that it will not violate any covenant or agreement made by it
therein, herein or in any other Owner Trustee Agreement.
Notwithstanding the Granting Clause or any of the preceding paragraphs,
there is hereby excluded from the foregoing grant, bargain, sale, assignment,
transfer, conveyance, mortgage, pledge and security interest all Excluded
Payments. Further, nothing in the Granting Clause or the preceding paragraphs
shall impair any of the rights of the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant
under Section 2.13, 4.03, 4.04, 4.08, 5.02 or 5.03 hereof.

SECTION 2.02. ISSUANCE AND TERMS OF EQUIPMENT NOTES
The Equipment Notes shall be dated the date of issuance thereof, shall
be issued in up to three separate series consisting of Series A, Series B and
Series C and in the maturities and principal amounts and shall bear interest as
specified in Schedule I hereto. On the date of the consummation of the
Transaction, each Equipment Note shall be issued to the Subordination Agent on
behalf of the Pass Through Trustees under the Pass Through Trust Agreements. The
Equipment Notes shall be issued in registered form only. The Equipment Notes
shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof,
except that one Equipment Note of each Series may be in an amount that is not an
integral multiple of $1,000.
Each Equipment Note shall bear interest at the applicable Debt Rate
(calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day
months) on the unpaid Original Amount thereof from time to time outstanding,
payable in arrears in semiannual installments
20
-14-
commencing on _____________, ____, and on each _______ _ and _______ _
thereafter until maturity. The Original Amount of each Equipment Note shall be
payable on the dates and in the installments equal to the corresponding
percentage of the Original Amount as set forth in Schedule I hereto, the
applicable portion of which shall be attached as Schedule I to such Equipment
Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment made under each
Equipment Note shall be in an amount sufficient to discharge in full the unpaid
Original Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on, and any other amounts
due under, such Equipment Note. Each Equipment Note shall bear interest at the
Payment Due Rate (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of
twelve 30-day months) on any part of the Original Amount, Make-Whole Amount, if
any, and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, interest and any other
amounts payable thereunder not paid when due for any period during which the
same shall be overdue, in each case for the period the same is overdue. Amounts
shall be overdue if not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if any date on which a payment under any Equipment Note becomes due and
payable is not a Business Day then such payment shall not be made on such
scheduled date but shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and if such
payment is made on such next succeeding Business Day, no interest shall accrue
on the amount of such payment during such extension.
The Owner Trustee agrees to pay to the Mortgagee for distribution in
accordance with Section 3.04 hereof: (i) to the extent not payable (whether or
not in fact paid) under Section 6(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement (as
originally in effect or amended with the consent of the Owner Participant), an
amount equal to the fees payable to the relevant Liquidity Provider under
Section 2.03 of each Liquidity Facility and the related Fee Letter (as defined
in the Intercreditor Agreement) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which
shall be the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Series A
Equipment Notes, Series B Equipment Notes and Series C Equipment Notes and the
denominator of which shall be the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of
all "Series A Equipment Notes," "Series B Equipment Notes" and "Series C
Equipment Notes" (each as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement); (ii) (x) the
amount equal to interest on any Downgrade Advance (other than any Applied
Downgrade Advance) payable under Section 3.07(e) of each Liquidity Facility
minus Investment Earnings from such Downgrade Advance multiplied by (y) the
fraction specified in the foregoing clause (i); (iii) (x) the amount equal to
interest on any Non-Extension Advance (other than any Applied Non-Extension
Advance) payable under Section 3.07(a)(i) of each Liquidity Facility minus
Investment Earnings from such Non-Extension Advance multiplied by (y) the
fraction specified in the foregoing clause (i); (iv) if any payment default
shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to interest on any Series A
Equipment Note, Series B Equipment Note or Series C Equipment Note, (x) the
excess, if any, of (1) the amount equal to interest on any Unpaid Advance,
Applied Downgrade Advance or Applied Non-Extension Advance payable under Section
3.07(a)(i) of each Liquidity Facility over (2) the
21
-15-
sum of Investment Earnings from any Final Advance plus any amount of interest at
the Payment Due Rate actually payable (whether or not in fact paid) by the Owner
Trustee on the overdue scheduled interest on the Equipment Notes in respect of
which such Unpaid Advance, Applied Downgrade Advance or Applied Non-Extension
Advance was made multiplied by (y) a fraction the numerator of which shall be
the then aggregate overdue amounts of interest on the Series A Equipment Notes,
Series B Equipment Notes and Series C Equipment Notes (other than interest
becoming due and payable solely as a result of acceleration of any such
Equipment Notes) and the denominator of which shall be the then aggregate
overdue amounts of interest on all "Series A Equipment Notes," "Series B
Equipment Notes" and "Series C Equipment Notes" (each as defined in the Note
Purchase Agreement) (other than interest becoming due and payable solely as a
result of acceleration of any such "Equipment Notes") and (v) any other amounts
owed to the Liquidity Provider by the Subordination Agent as borrower under each
Liquidity Facility (other than amounts due as repayment of advances thereunder
or as interest on advances) except to the extent payable pursuant to clause (i),
(ii), (iii) or (iv) above multiplied by the fraction specified in the foregoing
clause (i). For purposes of this paragraph, the terms "Applied Downgrade
Advance," "Applied Non-Extension Advance," "Cash Collateral Account," "Downgrade
Advance," "Final Advance," "Investment Earnings," "Non-Extension Advance" and
"Unpaid Advance" shall have the meanings specified in each Liquidity Facility.
The Equipment Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Owner Trustee by
its President or one of its Vice Presidents, Assistant Vice Presidents or
Assistant Secretaries or other authorized officer. Equipment Notes bearing the
signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Owner
Trustee shall bind the Owner Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or
any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Equipment Notes or did not hold such offices at the respective
dates of such Equipment Notes. The Owner Trustee may from time to time execute
and deliver Equipment Notes with respect to the Aircraft to the Mortgagee for
authentication upon original issue and such Equipment Notes shall thereupon be
authenticated and delivered by the Mortgagee upon the written request of the
Owner Trustee signed by a Vice President or Assistant Vice President or other
authorized officer of the Owner Trustee; provided, however, that each such
request shall specify the aggregate Original Amount of all Equipment Notes to be
authenticated hereunder on original issue with respect to the Aircraft. No
Equipment Note shall be secured by or entitled to any benefit under this Trust
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purposes, unless there appears on
such Equipment Note a certificate of authentication in the form provided for
herein executed by the Mortgagee by the manual signature of one of its
authorized officers and such certificate upon any Equipment Notes be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Equipment Note has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder.
22
-16-
The aggregate Original Amount of the Equipment Notes issued hereunder
shall not exceed 80% of Lessor's Cost.
SECTION 2.03. PAYMENTS FROM TRUST INDENTURE ESTATE ONLY
(a) Without impairing any of the other rights, powers, remedies,
privileges, liens or security interests of the Note Holders under this Trust
Indenture, each Note Holder, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, agrees that
as between it and the Owner Trustee, except as expressly provided in this Trust
Indenture, the Participation Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, (i) the
obligation to make all payments of the Original Amount of, interest on,
Make-Whole Amount, if any, and all other amounts due with respect to the
Equipment Notes, and the performance by the Owner Trustee of every obligation or
covenant contained in this Trust Indenture and in the Participation Agreement or
any of the other Operative Agreements, shall be payable only from the income and
proceeds from the Trust Estate to the extent included in the Trust Indenture
Estate and only to the extent that the Owner Trustee shall have sufficient
income or proceeds from the Trust Estate to the extent included in the Trust
Indenture Estate to enable the Mortgagee to make such payments in accordance
with the terms of Article III hereof, and all of the statements,
representations, covenants and agreements made by the Owner Trustee (when made
in such capacity) contained in this Trust Indenture and any agreement referred
to herein other than the Trust Agreement, unless expressly otherwise stated, are
made and intended only for the purpose of binding the Trust Estate and
establishing the existence of rights and remedies which can be exercised and
enforced against the Trust Estate; therefore, anything contained in this Trust
Indenture or such other agreements to the contrary notwithstanding (except for
any express provisions or representations that the Owner Trustee is responsible
for, or is making, in its individual capacity, for which there would be personal
liability of the Owner Trustee), no recourse shall be had with respect to this
Trust Indenture or such other agreements against the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity or against any institution or person which becomes a
successor trustee or co-trustee or any officer, director, trustee, servant or
direct or indirect parent or controlling Person or Persons of any of them, and
(ii) none of the Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity, the Owner
Participant, the Mortgagee and any officer, director, trustee, servant,
employee, agent or direct or indirect parent or controlling Person or Persons of
any of them shall have any personal liability for any amounts payable hereunder,
under the Participation Agreement or any of the other Operative Agreements or
under the Equipment Notes except as expressly provided herein, in the Lease or
in the Participation Agreement; provided, however, that nothing contained in
this Section 2.03(a) shall be construed to limit the exercise and enforcement in
accordance with the terms of this Trust Indenture or such other agreements of
rights and remedies against the Trust Indenture Estate.
(b) If (i) all or any part of the Trust Estate becomes the property of,
or the Owner Trustee or Owner Participant becomes, a debtor subject to the
reorganization provisions
23
-17-
of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) pursuant to such reorganization provisions,
including Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Owner Trustee (in its
individual capacity) or the Owner Participant is required, by reason of the
Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity) or the Owner Participant being held
to have recourse liability to any Note Holder or the Mortgagee, directly or
indirectly (other than the recourse liability of the Owner Trustee (in its
individual capacity) or the Owner Participant under the Participation Agreement,
the Lease or this Trust Indenture or by separate agreement), to make payment on
account of any amount payable as principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest
or other amounts on the Equipment Notes and (iii) any Note Holder or the
Mortgagee actually receives any Excess Amount (as hereinafter defined) which
reflects any payment by the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity) or the
Owner Participant on account of clause (ii) above, then such Note Holder or the
Mortgagee, as the case may be, shall promptly refund to the Owner Trustee (in
its individual capacity) or the Owner Participant (whichever shall have made
such payment) such Excess Amount.
For purposes of this Section 2.03(b), "Excess Amount" means the amount
by which such payment exceeds the amount that would have been received by a Note
Holder or the Mortgagee if the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity) or the
Owner Participant had not become subject to the recourse liability referred to
in clause (ii) above. Nothing contained in this Section 2.03(b) shall prevent a
Note Holder or the Mortgagee from enforcing any personal recourse obligation
(and retaining the proceeds thereof) of the Owner Trustee (in its individual
capacity) or the Owner Participant under the Participation Agreement, the Lease
or this Trust Indenture (and any exhibits or annexes hereto or thereto) or from
retaining any amount paid by Owner Participant under Section 2.13 or 4.03
hereof.
SECTION 2.04. METHOD OF PAYMENT
(a) The Original Amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and
other amounts due under each Equipment Note or hereunder will be payable in
Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than 12 noon,
New York City time, on the due date of payment to the Mortgagee at the Corporate
Trust Office for distribution among the Note Holders in the manner provided
herein. The Owner Trustee shall not have any responsibility for the distribution
of such payment to any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any
provision in any Equipment Note to the contrary, the Mortgagee will use
reasonable efforts to pay or cause to be paid, if so directed in writing by any
Note Holder (with a copy to the Owner Trustee), all amounts paid by the Owner
Trustee hereunder and under such holder's Equipment Note or Equipment Notes to
such holder or a nominee therefor (including all amounts distributed pursuant to
Article III of this Trust Indenture) by transferring, or causing to be
transferred, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars, prior
to 12:30 p.m., New York City time, on the due date of payment, to an account
maintained by such holder with a bank located in the continental United States
the amount to be
24
-18-
distributed to such holder, for credit to the account of such holder maintained
at such bank. Any payment made hereunder shall be made without any presentment
or surrender of any Equipment Note, except that, in the case of the final
payment in respect of any Equipment Note, such Equipment Note shall be
surrendered to the Mortgagee for cancellation promptly after such payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Indenture to the contrary, the
Mortgagee shall not be required to make, or cause to be made, wire transfers as
aforesaid prior to the first Business Day on which it is practicable for the
Mortgagee to do so in view of the time of day when the funds to be so
transferred were received by it if such funds were received after 12:30 p.m.,
New York City time, at the place of payment. Prior to the due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Equipment Note, the Owner Trustee and the
Mortgagee shall deem and treat the Person in whose name any Equipment Note is
registered on the Equipment Note Register as the absolute owner and holder of
such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable
with respect to such Equipment Note and for all other purposes, and none of the
Owner Trustee or the Mortgagee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
So long as any signatory to the Participation Agreement or nominee thereof shall
be a registered Note Holder, all payments to it shall be made to the account of
such Note Holder specified in Schedule I thereto and otherwise in the manner
provided in or pursuant to the Participation Agreement unless it shall have
specified some other account or manner of payment by notice to the Mortgagee
consistent with this Section 2.04.
(b) The Mortgagee, as agent for the Owner Trustee, shall exclude and
withhold at the appropriate rate from each payment of Original Amount of,
interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and other amounts due hereunder or under
each Equipment Note (and such exclusion and withholding shall constitute payment
in respect of such Equipment Note) any and all United States withholding taxes
applicable thereto as required by Law. The Mortgagee agrees to act as such
withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future
United States taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect
to any amounts payable hereunder or in respect of the Equipment Notes, to
withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in
the name of and on behalf of the Note Holders, that it will file any necessary
United States withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that as
promptly as possible after the payment thereof it will deliver to each Note
Holder (with a copy to the Owner Trustee and the Lessee) appropriate receipts
showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence
as any such Note Holder may reasonably request from time to time.
If a Note Holder which is a Non-U.S. Person has furnished to the
Mortgagee a properly completed, accurate and currently effective U.S. Internal
Revenue Service Form 1001 or W-8 (or such successor form or forms as may be
required by the United States Treasury Department) during the calendar year in
which the payment hereunder or under the
25
-19-
Equipment Note(s) held by such holder is made (but prior to the making of such
payment), or in either of the two preceding calendar years, and has not notified
the Mortgagee of the withdrawal or inaccuracy of such form prior to the date of
such payment (and the Mortgagee has no reason to believe that any information
set forth in such form is inaccurate), the Mortgagee shall withhold only the
amount, if any, required by Law (after taking into account any applicable
exemptions properly claimed by the Note Holder) to be withheld from payments
hereunder or under the Equipment Notes held by such holder in respect of United
States federal income tax. If a Note Holder (x) which is a Non-U.S. Person has
furnished to the Mortgagee a properly completed, accurate and currently
effective U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 in duplicate (or such
successor certificate, form or forms as may be required by the United States
Treasury Department as necessary in order to properly avoid withholding of
United States federal income tax), for each calendar year in which a payment is
made (but prior to the making of any payment for such year), and has not
notified the Mortgagee of the withdrawal or inaccuracy of such certificate or
form prior to the date of such payment (and the Mortgagee has no reason to
believe that any information set forth in such form is inaccurate) or (y) which
is a U.S. Person has furnished to the Mortgagee a properly completed, accurate
and currently effective U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, if applicable,
prior to a payment hereunder or under the Equipment Notes held by such holder,
no amount shall be withheld from payments in respect of United States federal
income tax. If any Note Holder has notified the Mortgagee that any of the
foregoing forms or certificates is withdrawn or inaccurate, or if such holder
has not filed a form claiming an exemption from United States withholding tax or
if the Code or the regulations thereunder or the administrative interpretation
thereof is at any time after the date hereof amended to require such withholding
of United States federal income taxes from payments under the Equipment Notes
held by such holder, the Mortgagee agrees to withhold from each payment due to
the relevant Note Holder withholding taxes at the appropriate rate under Law and
will, on a timely basis as more fully provided above, deposit such amounts with
an authorized depository and make such returns, statements, receipts and other
documentary evidence in connection therewith as required by Law.
Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Owner Participant shall have any
liability for the failure of the Mortgagee to withhold taxes in the manner
provided for herein or for any false, inaccurate or untrue evidence provided by
any Note Holder hereunder.
SECTION 2.05. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS
In the case of each Equipment Note, each payment of Original Amount,
Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest due thereon shall be applied:
First: to the payment of accrued interest on such Equipment
Note (as well as any interest on any overdue Original Amount, any
overdue Make-Whole Amount, if
26
-20-
any, and to the extent permitted by Law, any overdue interest and any
other overdue amounts thereunder) to the date of such payment;
Second: to the payment of the Original Amount of such
Equipment Note (or a portion thereof) then due thereunder;
Third: to the payment of Make-Whole Amount, if any, and any
other amount due hereunder or under such Equipment Note; and
Fourth: the balance, if any, remaining thereafter, to the
payment of the Original Amount of such Equipment Note remaining unpaid
(provided that such Equipment Note shall not be subject to redemption
except as provided in Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12 hereof).
The amounts paid pursuant to clause "Fourth" above shall be applied to
the installments of Original Amount of such Equipment Note in the inverse order
of their normal maturity.
SECTION 2.06. TERMINATION OF INTEREST IN TRUST INDENTURE ESTATE
No Note Holder nor any other Indenture Indemnitee shall, as such, have
any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the Trust Indenture
Estate when and if the Original Amount of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and
interest on and other amounts due under all Equipment Notes held by such Note
Holder and all other sums then due and payable to such Note Holder, such
Indenture Indemnitee or the Mortgagee hereunder (including, without limitation,
under the third paragraph of Section 2.02 hereof) and under the other Operative
Agreements by the Owner Trustee and the Lessee (collectively, the "Secured
Obligations") shall have been paid in full.
SECTION 2.07. REGISTRATION TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF EQUIPMENT NOTES
The Mortgagee shall keep a register (the "Equipment Note Register") in
which the Mortgagee shall provide for the registration of Equipment Notes and
the registration of transfers of Equipment Notes. No such transfer shall be
given effect unless and until registration hereunder shall have occurred. The
Equipment Note Register shall be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Mortgagee. The Mortgagee is hereby appointed "Equipment Note Registrar" for the
purpose of registering Equipment Notes and transfers of Equipment Notes as
herein provided. A holder of any Equipment Note intending to exchange such
Equipment Note shall surrender such Equipment Note to the Mortgagee at the
Corporate Trust Office,
27
-21-
together with a written request from the registered holder thereof for the
issuance of a new Equipment Note, specifying, in the case of a surrender for
transfer, the name and address of the new holder or holders. Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Equipment Note, the Owner Trustee shall execute,
and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Equipment Notes of a like aggregate
Original Amount and of the same series. At the option of the Note Holder,
Equipment Notes may be exchanged for other Equipment Notes of any authorized
denominations of a like aggregate Original Amount, upon surrender of the
Equipment Notes to be exchanged to the Mortgagee at the Corporate Trust Office.
Whenever any Equipment Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Owner Trustee
shall execute, and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver, the Equipment
Notes which the Note Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All
Equipment Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Equipment Notes (whether under this Section 2.07 or under Section 2.08 hereof or
otherwise under this Trust Indenture) shall be the valid obligations of the
Owner Trustee evidencing the same respective obligations, and entitled to the
same security and benefits under this Trust Indenture, as the Equipment Notes
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Equipment Note
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer shall (if so required by
the Mortgagee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Mortgagee duly executed by the Note Holder
or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Mortgagee shall
require evidence satisfactory to it as to the compliance of any such transfer
with the Securities Act, and the securities Laws of any applicable state. The
Mortgagee shall make a notation on each new Equipment Note of the amount of all
payments of Original Amount previously made on the old Equipment Note or
Equipment Notes with respect to which such new Equipment Note is issued and the
date to which interest on such old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes has been
paid. Interest shall be deemed to have been paid on such new Equipment Note to
the date on which interest shall have been paid on such old Equipment Note, and
all payments of the Original Amount marked on such new Equipment Note, as
provided above, shall be deemed to have been made thereon. The Owner Trustee
shall not be required to exchange any surrendered Equipment Notes as provided
above during the ten-day period preceding the due date of any payment on such
Equipment Note. The Owner Trustee shall in all cases deem the Person in whose
name any Equipment Note shall have been issued and registered as the absolute
owner and holder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of
all amounts payable by the Owner Trustee with respect to such Equipment Note and
for all purposes until a notice stating otherwise is received from the Mortgagee
and such change is reflected on the Equipment Note Register. The Mortgagee will
promptly notify the Owner Trustee and the Lessee of each registration of a
transfer of an Equipment Note. Any such transferee of an Equipment Note, by its
acceptance of an Equipment Note, agrees to the provisions of the Participation
Agreement applicable to Note Holders, and shall be deemed to have covenanted to
the parties to the Participation Agreement as to the matters covenanted by the
28
-22-
original Loan Participant in the Participation Agreement. Subject to compliance
by the Note Holder and its transferee (if any) of the requirements set forth in
this Section 2.07, Mortgagee and Owner Trustee shall use all reasonable efforts
to issue new Equipment Notes upon transfer or exchange within 10 Business Days
of the date an Equipment Note is surrendered for transfer or exchange.
SECTION 2.08. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN EQUIPMENT NOTES
If any Equipment Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen, the Owner Trustee shall, upon the written request of the holder of such
Equipment Note, execute and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver in
replacement thereof a new Equipment Note, payable in the same Original Amount
dated the same date and captioned as issued in connection with the Aircraft. If
the Equipment Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Equipment Note
shall be surrendered to the Mortgagee and a photocopy thereof shall be furnished
to the Owner Trustee. If the Equipment Note being replaced has been destroyed,
lost or stolen, the holder of such Equipment Note shall furnish to the Owner
Trustee and the Mortgagee such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to save the Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee harmless and evidence satisfactory
to the Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee of the destruction, loss or theft of such
Equipment Note and of the ownership thereof. If a "qualified institutional
buyer" of the type referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(A), (B), (D) or (E) of
Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a "QIB") is the holder of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Equipment Note, then the written indemnity of such
QIB, signed by an authorized officer thereof, in favor of, delivered to and in
form reasonably satisfactory to Lessee, Owner Trustee and Mortgagee shall be
accepted as satisfactory indemnity and security and no further indemnity or
security shall be required as a condition to the execution and delivery of such
new Equipment Note. Subject to compliance by the Note Holder of the requirements
set forth in this Section 2.08, Mortgagee and Owner Trustee shall use all
reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment Notes within 10 Business Days of the
date of the written request therefor from the Note Holder.
SECTION 2.09. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES ON TRANSFER; CANCELLATION
(a) No service charge shall be made to a Note Holder for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes, but the Mortgagee, as
Equipment Note Registrar, may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes.
29
-23-
(b) The Mortgagee shall cancel all Equipment Notes surrendered for
replacement, redemption, transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall
destroy the canceled Equipment Notes.
SECTION 2.10. MANDATORY REDEMPTIONS OF EQUIPMENT NOTES

hereunder, and each Note Holder agrees that it will, upon such events and
subject to such terms and conditions and upon receipt of such price, sell,
assign, transfer and convey to such purchaser or its nominee (without recourse
or warranty of any kind except against Liens on such Equipment Notes arising by,
through or under such holder), all of the right, title and interest of such Note
Holder in and to the Equipment Notes held by it, and such purchaser or its
nominee shall assume all of such holder's obligations under the Participation
Agreement and hereunder.
Such option to purchase the Equipment Notes may be exercised by the
Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant at any time following the occurrence of
any of the following events, and in any such event the purchase price thereof
shall equal for each Equipment Note, the aggregate unpaid Original Amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to,
32
-26-
but not including, the date of purchase and all other Secured Obligations owed,
or then due and payable hereunder, to the holder thereof (including under the
third paragraph of Section 2.02 hereof). Such option to purchase the Equipment
Notes may be exercised (x) upon a Mortgagee Event described in clause (i) of the
definition thereof or (y) in the event there shall have occurred and be
continuing a Lease Event of Default or (z) upon either the Equipment Notes
becoming due and payable pursuant to Section 4.04(b) hereof or the Mortgagee
taking action or notifying the Owner Trustee that it intends to take action to
foreclose the Lien of this Trust Indenture or otherwise commence the exercise of
any significant remedy under this Trust Indenture or the Lease, provided that if
such option is exercised pursuant to clause (y) when there shall have occurred
and be continuing for less than 180 days a Lease Event of Default, the purchase
price thereof shall equal the price provided in the preceding sentence plus the

such purchase within 15 days of the date of such notice. The Mortgagee shall not
exercise any of the remedies hereunder and, without the consent of the Owner
Trustee or the Owner Participant, under the Lease, during the period from the
date of the giving of such notice until the date on which such purchase is
required to occur pursuant to the terms of the preceding sentence.
If the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant on or before the date of
such purchase shall so request, the Note Holders will comply with all the
provisions of Section 2.07 to enable new Equipment Notes to be issued to the
Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant or its nominee in such denominations as
the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant shall request. All taxes, charges and
expenses required pursuant to Section 2.09 in connection with the issuance of
such new Equipment Note shall be borne by the Owner Participant.

Note Holder, in its capacity as a Note Holder, shall receive any payment or
distribution on any Secured Obligations in respect of such Series which it is
not entitled to receive under this Section 2.14 or Article
33
-27-

(as defined in Section 2.14(c) hereof) and will forthwith turn over such payment
to the Mortgagee in the form received to be applied as provided in Article III
hereof.
(c) As used in this Section 2.14, the term "Senior Holder" shall mean
(i) the Note Holders of Series A until the Secured Obligations in respect of
Series A Equipment Notes have been paid in full and (ii) after the Secured
Obligations in respect of Series A Equipment Notes have been paid in full, the

the Owner Participant pursuant to Section 7.2.1 of the Participation Agreement
shall remain undischarged for a period of 30 days after the Owner Trustee or the
Owner Participant, as the case may be, shall have received written notice from
the Mortgagee or any Note Holder of such Lien; or
42
-36-
(d) any representation or warranty made by the Owner Participant or the
Owner Trustee in the Participation Agreement or this Trust Indenture or in any
certificate furnished by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee to the
Mortgagee or any Note Holder in connection with the transactions contemplated by
the Operative Agreements shall prove to have been false or incorrect when made
in any material respect and continues to be material and adverse to the
interests of the Mortgagee or the Note Holders; and if such misrepresentation is
capable of being corrected and if such correction is being sought diligently,
such misrepresentation shall not have been corrected within 60 days (or, without
affecting Section 4.02(f) hereof, in the case of the representation made in
Section 6.3.6 or 6.2.6 of the Participation Agreement as to citizenship of the
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity or of the Owner Participant,
respectively, as soon as is reasonably practicable but in any event within 60
days) following notice thereof from the Mortgagee or any Note Holder to the
Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant, as the case may be; or
(e) other than as provided in (c) above or (f) below, any failure by
the Owner Trustee or Owner Participant to observe or perform any other covenant
or obligation of the Owner Trustee or Owner Participant, as the case may be, for
the benefit of the Mortgagee or the Note Holders contained in the Participation
Agreement, Section 4.2.1 of the Trust Agreement, the Equipment Notes or this
Trust Indenture which is not remedied within a period of 60 days after notice
thereof has been given to the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant; or
(f) if at any time when the Aircraft is registered under the Laws of
the United States, the Owner Participant shall not be a "citizen of the United
States" within the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of Part A of Subtitle VII of
▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Code, and as the result thereof the registration of the
Aircraft under the Federal Aviation Act, and regulations then applicable
thereunder, shall cease to be effective; provided that no Event of Default shall
be deemed to have occurred under this paragraph (f) unless such circumstances
continue unremedied for more than 30 days after the Owner Participant has Actual
Knowledge of the state of facts that resulted in such ineffectiveness and of
such loss of citizenship; or
(g) at any time either (i) the commencement of an involuntary case or
other proceeding in respect of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, the
Trust or the Trust Estate under the federal bankruptcy Laws, as now constituted
or hereafter amended, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,

of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or
similar official) of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, the Trust or the
Trust Estate or for all or substantially all of its property, or seeking the
winding-up or liquidation of its affairs and the continuation of any such case
or other proceeding undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive
days; or (ii) the commencement by the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, the
Trust or the Trust Estate of a voluntary case or proceeding under the federal

United States, or the consent by the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, the
Trust or the Trust Estate to the appointment of or taking possession by a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other
similar official) of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, the Trust or the
Trust Estate or for all or substantially all of its property, or the making by
the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, the Trust or the Trust Estate of any
assignment for the benefit of creditors or the Owner Participant or the Owner
Trustee shall take any action to authorize any of the foregoing; provided,
however, that an event referred to in this Section 4.02(g) with respect to the
Owner Participant shall not constitute an Event of Default if within 30 days of
the commencement of the case or proceeding a final non-appealable order,
judgment or decree shall be entered in such case or proceeding by a court or a
trustee, custodian, receiver or liquidator, to the effect that, no part of the
Trust Estate (except for the Owner Participant's beneficial interest therein)
and no right, title or interest under the Trust Indenture Estate shall be
included in, or be subject to, any declaration or adjudication of, or
proceedings with respect to, the bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of the
Owner Participant referred to in this Section 4.02(g).
SECTION 4.03. CERTAIN RIGHTS
The Mortgagee shall give the Note Holders, the Owner Trustee and the
Owner Participant prompt written notice of any Event of Default of which the
Mortgagee has Actual Knowledge and shall give the Note Holders, the Owner
Trustee and the Owner Participant not less than ten Business Days prior written
notice of the date (the "Enforcement Date") on or after which the Mortgagee may,
subject to the limitation set forth in Section 4.04(a), commence and consummate
the exercise of any remedy or remedies described in Section 4.04, 4.05 or 4.06
hereof; provided, however, that in the event the Mortgagee shall have validly
terminated the Lease, the Mortgagee shall not sell or lease, or otherwise afford
the use of, the Aircraft or any portion thereof to the Lessee or any Affiliate
thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Mortgagee shall
give the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Lessee at least ten
Business Days prior written notice (which may be given concurrently with notice
of the Enforcement Date) of any declaration of the Lease to be in default
pursuant to Sections 14 and 15 of the Lease or any termination of the Lease or
of the exercise of any remedy or remedies pursuant to Section 15 of the Lease.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Owner Trustee
shall have the rights set forth below, any of which may be exercised directly by
the Owner Participant.
If as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of
the nonpayment by Lessee of Basic Rent due under the Lease, the Mortgagee shall
have insufficient funds to make any payment of Original Amount and interest on
any Equipment Note on the day it becomes due and payable, the Owner Trustee may,
but shall not be obligated to pay the Mortgagee prior to the Enforcement Date,
in the manner provided in Section 2.04 hereof, for
44
-38-
application in accordance with Section 3.01 hereof, an amount equal to the
portion of the Original Amount and interest (including interest, if any, on any
overdue payments of such portion of Original Amount and interest) then due and
payable on the Equipment Notes, and, unless the Owner Trustee has cured Events
of Default in respect of payments of Basic Rent on each of the three immediately
preceding Basic Rent payment dates, or the Owner Trustee has cured six previous
Events of Default in respect of payments of Basic Rent, such payment by the
Owner Trustee shall, solely for purposes of this Trust Indenture be deemed to
cure any Event of Default which would otherwise have arisen on account of the
nonpayment by Lessee of such installment of Basic Rent (but not any other
Default or Event of Default which shall have occurred and be continuing).
If any Event of Default (other than in respect of the nonpayment of
Basic Rent by the Lessee) which can be cured by the payment of money has
occurred, the Owner Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, cure such Event
of Default by making such payment prior to the Enforcement Date as is necessary
to accomplish the observance or performance of the defaulted covenant, condition
or agreement to the party entitled to the same.
Except as hereinafter in this Section 4.03 provided, the Owner Trustee
shall not, as a result of exercising the right to cure any such Event of
Default, obtain any Lien on any of the Mortgaged Property or any Rent payable
under the Lease for or on account of costs or expenses incurred in connection
with the exercise of such right, nor shall any claim of the Owner Trustee
against Lessee or any other party for the repayment of such costs or expenses
impair the prior right and security interest of the Mortgagee in and to the
Mortgaged Property. Upon any payment by the Owner Trustee pursuant to the first
or second preceding paragraphs of this Section 4.03, the Owner Trustee shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Mortgagee and the Note Holders in respect of the
Basic Rent which was overdue at the time of such payment and interest payable by
the Lessee on account of its being overdue and any Supplemental Rent in respect
of the reimbursement of amounts paid by Owner Trustee pursuant to the
immediately preceding paragraph (but in either case shall have no rights as a
secured party hereunder), and thereafter, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled
(so long as the application thereof shall not give rise to an Event of Default
hereunder) to receive such overdue Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent, as the case
may be, and interest thereon upon receipt thereof by the Mortgagee; provided,
however, that (i) if the Original Amount and interest on the Equipment Notes
shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 4.04(b) hereof, such
subrogation shall, until the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full,
be subordinate to the rights of the Mortgagee, the Note Holders and the
Indenture Indemnitees in respect of such payment of overdue Basic Rent,
Supplemental Rent and such interest and (ii) the Owner Trustee shall not
otherwise attempt to recover any such amount paid by it on behalf of the Lessee
pursuant to this Section 4.03 except by demanding of the Lessee payment of such
amount, or by commencing an action at law against the Lessee and obtaining and
enforcing a
45
-39-
judgment against the Lessee for the payment of such amount or taking
appropriate action in a pending action at law against the Lessee (provided, that
at no time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing shall
any such demand be made or shall any such action be commenced (or continued) and
any amounts nevertheless received by the Owner Trustee in respect thereof shall
be held in trust for the benefit of, and promptly paid to, the Mortgagee for
distribution as provided in Section 3.03 hereof).
Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Owner Participant shall have the
right to cure any Lease Event of Default or Lease Default except as specified in
this Section 4.03.
SECTION 4.04. REMEDIES
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and so
long as the same shall continue unremedied, then and in every such case the
Mortgagee may, subject to the second and third paragraphs of this Section
4.04(a), exercise any or all of the rights and powers and pursue any and all of
the remedies pursuant to this Article IV and shall have and may exercise all of
the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code
and, in the event such Event of Default is also a Lease Event of Default, any
and all of the remedies pursuant to Section 15 of the Lease and may take
possession of all or any part of the properties covered or intended to be
covered by the Lien created hereby or pursuant hereto and may exclude the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee and Lessee and all persons claiming under any of
them wholly or partly therefrom; provided, that the Mortgagee shall give the
Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant 20 days prior written notice of its
intention to sell the Aircraft, and provided, further, that in the event the
Mortgagee shall have validly terminated the Lease, the Mortgagee shall not sell
or lease, or otherwise afford the use of, the Aircraft or any portion thereof to
the Lessee or any Affiliate thereof. Unless an Event of Default not resulting
from or relating to a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Owner Participant may bid at the sale and become the purchaser. Without limiting
any of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Mortgagee may
exercise any right of sale of the Aircraft available to it, even though it shall
not have taken possession of the Aircraft and shall not have possession thereof
at the time of such sale.
Anything in this Trust Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if
the Event of Default arises solely by reason of one or more circumstances which
constitutes a Lease Event of Default, the Mortgagee shall not be entitled to
exercise any remedy hereunder unless the Mortgagee as security assignee of the
Owner Trustee shall have exercised or concurrently be exercising one or more of
the dispossessory remedies provided for in Section 15 of the Lease with respect
to the Aircraft; provided, however, that such requirement to exercise one or
more of such remedies under the Lease shall not apply in circumstances where the
Mortgagee is, and has been, for a continuous period in excess of 60 days or such
other period as may be specified in Section 1110(a)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code
(such 60-day or other period being
46
-40-
the "New Section 1110 Period"), involuntarily stayed or prohibited by applicable
law or court order from exercising such remedies under the Lease (a "Continuous
Stay Period"); provided further, however, that the requirement to exercise one
or more of such remedies under the Lease shall nonetheless be applicable during
a Continuous Stay Period subsequent to the expiration of the New Section 1110
Period to the extent that the continuation of such Continuous Stay Period
subsequent to the expiration of the New Section 1110 Period (A) results from an
agreement by the trustee or the debtor-in-possession in such proceeding during
the New Section 1110 Period with the approval of the relevant court to perform
the Lease in accordance with Section 1110(a)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and
continues to perform as required by Section 1110(a)(1)(A-B) of the Bankruptcy
Code or (B) is an extension of the New Section 1110 Period with the consent of
the Mortgagee pursuant to Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (C) results
from the Lessee's assumption during the New Section 1110 Period with the
approval of the relevant court of the Lease pursuant to Section 365 of the
Bankruptcy Code and Lessee's continuous performance of the Lease as so assumed
or (D) is the consequence of the Mortgagee's own failure to give any requisite
notice to any person. In the event that the applicability of Section 1110 of the
Bankruptcy Code to the Aircraft is being contested by Lessee in judicial
proceedings, both of the Mortgagee and the Owner Trustee shall have the right to
participate in such proceedings; provided that any such participation by the
Owner Trustee shall not affect in any way any rights or remedy of the Mortgagee
hereunder.
It is expressly understood and agreed that, subject only to the two
preceding paragraphs, the inability, described in such paragraphs, of the
Mortgagee to exercise any right or remedy under the Lease shall in no event and
under no circumstances prevent the Mortgagee from exercising any or all of its
rights, powers and remedies under this Trust Indenture, including, without
limitation, this Article IV.
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then
and in every such case the Mortgagee may (and shall, upon receipt of a written
demand therefor from a Majority in Interest of Note Holders), subject to Section
4.03 hereof, at any time, by delivery of written notice or notices to the Owner
Trustee and the Owner Participant, declare all the Equipment Notes to be due and
payable, whereupon the unpaid Original Amount of all Equipment Notes then
outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon (without
Make-Whole Amount) and other amounts due thereunder, shall immediately become
due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are
hereby waived; provided that if an Event of Default referred to in clause (g) of
Section 4.02 hereof shall have occurred or a Lease Event of Default under
Section 14.5 of the Lease shall have occurred, then and in every such case the
unpaid Original Amount then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid
interest and all other amounts due thereunder and hereunder shall immediately
and without further act become due and payable without presentment, demand,
protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived; provided further that in the
event of a reorganization
47
-41-
proceeding involving the Lessee instituted under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code, if no Lease Event of Default (including any Lease Event of Default set
forth in Section 14.3 of the Lease) and no other Event of Default (other than
the failure to pay the Original Amount of the Equipment Notes which by such
declaration shall have become payable) exists at any time after the consummation
of such proceeding, such declaration shall be automatically rescinded without
any further action on the part of any Note Holder.
This Section 4.04(b), however, is subject to the condition that, if at
any time after the Original Amount of the Equipment Notes shall have become so
due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the money
so due, or any thereof, shall be entered, all overdue payments of interest upon
the Equipment Notes and all other amounts payable under the Equipment Notes
(except the Original Amount of the Equipment Notes which by such declaration
shall have become payable) shall have been duly paid, and every other Default
and Event of Default with respect to any covenant or provision of this Trust
Indenture shall have been cured, then and in every such case a Majority in
Interest of Note Holders may (but shall not be obligated to), by written
instrument filed with the Mortgagee, rescind and annul the Mortgagee's
declaration (or such automatic acceleration) and its consequences; but no such
rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Default or
Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Any acceleration pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) shall be
automatically rescinded and any related declaration of an Event of Default
annulled in the event that the Owner Trustee shall have cured, in accordance
with Section 4.03 hereof, the Event of Default that resulted in such
acceleration or declaration.
(c) The Note Holders shall be entitled, at any sale pursuant to Section
15 of the Lease or this Section 4.04, to credit against any purchase price bid
at such sale by such holder all or any part of the unpaid obligations owing to
such Note Holder and secured by the Lien of this Trust Indenture (but only to
the extent that such purchase price would have been paid to such Note Holder
pursuant to Article III hereof if such purchase price were paid in cash and the
foregoing provisions of this subsection (c) were not given effect).
(d) In the event of any sale of the Trust Indenture Estate, or any part
thereof, pursuant to any judgment or decree of any court or otherwise in
connection with the enforcement of any of the terms of this Trust Indenture, the
unpaid Original Amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with
accrued interest thereon (without Make-Whole Amount), and other amounts due
thereunder, shall immediately become due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, so long as the Pass
Through Trustee under any Pass Through Trust Agreement (or its designee) is a
Note Holder, the
48
-42-
Mortgagee will not be authorized or empowered to acquire title to any Mortgaged
Property or take any action with respect to any Mortgaged Property so acquired
by it if such acquisition or action would cause any Trust to fail to qualify as
a "grantor trust" for federal income tax purposes.
SECTION 4.05. RETURN OF AIRCRAFT, ETC.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
the Equipment Notes have been accelerated, subject to Section 4.03 hereof and
unless the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant shall have elected to purchase
the Equipment Notes, at the request of the Mortgagee, the Owner Trustee shall
promptly execute and deliver to the Mortgagee such instruments of title and
other documents as the Mortgagee may deem necessary or advisable to enable the
Mortgagee or an agent or representative designated by the Mortgagee, at such
time or times and place or places as the Mortgagee may specify, to obtain
possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property included in the Trust
Indenture Estate to which the Mortgagee shall at the time be entitled hereunder.
If the Owner Trustee shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such
instruments and documents after such request by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee may
(i) obtain a judgment conferring on the Mortgagee the right to immediate
possession and requiring the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver such
instruments and documents to the Mortgagee, to the entry of which judgment the
Owner Trustee hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent permitted by
Law, and (ii) pursue all or part of such Mortgaged Property wherever it may be
found and, in the event that a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, may enter any of the premises of Lessee wherever such Mortgaged
Property may be or be supposed to be and search for such Mortgaged Property and
take possession of and remove such Mortgaged Property. All expenses of obtaining
such judgment or of pursuing, searching for and taking such property shall,
until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Trust Indenture.
(b) Upon every such taking of possession, the Mortgagee may, from time
to time, at the expense of the Mortgaged Property, make all such expenditures
for maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control,
management, disposition, modifications or alterations to and of the Mortgaged
Property, as it may deem proper. In each such case, the Mortgagee shall have the
right to maintain, use, operate, store, insure, lease, control, manage, dispose
of, modify or alter the Mortgaged Property and to carry on the business and to
exercise all rights and powers of the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee
relating to the Mortgaged Property, as the Mortgagee shall deem best, including
the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the
maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management,
disposition, modification or alteration of the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof as the Mortgagee may determine, and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to
collect and receive directly all tolls, rents (including Rent), revenues,
issues, income, products and profits of the Mortgaged Property and every part
thereof, except Excluded Payments,
49
-43-
without prejudice, however, to the right of the Mortgagee under any provision of
this Trust Indenture to collect and receive all cash held by, or required to be
deposited with, the Mortgagee hereunder other than Excluded Payments. Such
tolls, rents (including Rent), revenues, issues, income, products and profits
shall be applied to pay the expenses of the maintenance, use, operation,
storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, improvement,
modification or alteration of the Mortgaged Property and of conducting the
business thereof, and to make all payments which the Mortgagee may be required
or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance or other proper
charges upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof (including the
employment of engineers and accountants to examine, inspect and make reports
upon the properties and books and records of the Owner Trustee), and all other
payments which the Mortgagee may be required or authorized to make under any
provision of this Trust Indenture, as well as just and reasonable compensation
for the services of the Mortgagee, and of all persons properly engaged and
employed by the Mortgagee with respect hereto.
SECTION 4.06. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE
Each and every right, power and remedy given to the Mortgagee
specifically or otherwise in this Trust Indenture shall be cumulative and shall
be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given
or now or hereafter existing at Law, in equity or by statute, and each and every
right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing
may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be
deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the beginning of the
exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the
right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or
remedy. No delay or omission by the Mortgagee in the exercise of any right,
remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right,
power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of the
Owner Trustee or Lessee or to be an acquiescence therein.
SECTION 4.07. DISCONTINUANCE OF PROCEEDINGS
In case the Mortgagee shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce
any right, power or remedy under this Trust Indenture by foreclosure, entry or
otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for
any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in
every such case the Owner Trustee, the Mortgagee and Lessee shall, subject to
any determination in such proceedings, be restored to their former positions and
rights hereunder with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and all rights,
remedies and powers of the Owner Trustee, the Mortgagee or Lessee shall continue
as if no such proceedings had been instituted.
50
-44-
SECTION 4.08. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS
Upon written instruction from a Majority in Interest of Note Holders,
the Mortgagee shall waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences and
upon any such waiver such Default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this
Trust Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided, that in the absence of
written instructions from all the Note Holders, the Mortgagee shall not waive
any Default (i) in the payment of the Original Amount, Make-Whole Amount, if
any, and interest and other amounts due under any Equipment Note then
outstanding, or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under
Article IX hereof, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each
Note Holder.
SECTION 4.09. APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER
The Mortgagee shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to the
appointment of a receiver (who may be the Mortgagee or any successor or nominee
thereof) for all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, whether such
receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Mortgaged Property or the
taking of possession thereof or otherwise, and the Owner Trustee hereby consents
to the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose any such appointment.
Any receiver appointed for all or any part of the Mortgaged Property shall be
entitled to exercise all the rights and powers of the Mortgagee with respect to
the Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 4.10. MORTGAGEE AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE BILLS OF SALE, ETC.
Subject to the provisions of this Trust Indenture, the Owner Trustee
irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the
Owner Trustee (which appointment is coupled with an interest) in its name and
stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment,
transfer or delivery for the enforcement of the Lien of this Trust Indenture,
whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale, assignments and other
instruments as may be necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution,
the Owner Trustee hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any
substitute shall do by virtue hereof in accordance with applicable law.
Nevertheless, if so requested by the Mortgagee or any purchaser, the Owner
Trustee shall ratify and confirm any such sale, assignment, transfer or
delivery, by executing and delivering to the Mortgagee or such purchaser all
bills of sale, assignments, releases and other proper instruments to effect such
ratification and confirmation as may be designated in any such request.
51
-45-
SECTION 4.11. RIGHTS OF NOTE HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Indenture, the right
of any Note Holder to receive payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and
interest on an Equipment Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in
such Equipment Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on
or after such respective dates in accordance with the terms hereof, shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of such Note Holder.
ARTICLE V
DUTIES OF THE MORTGAGEE
SECTION 5.01. NOTICE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT
If the Mortgagee shall have Actual Knowledge of an Event of Default or
of a Default arising from a failure to pay Rent, the Mortgagee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, Lessee, and
each Note Holder. Subject to the terms of Sections 2.13, 4.03, 4.04, 4.08, 5.02
and 5.03 hereof, the Mortgagee shall take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default (including with
respect to the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder) as the Mortgagee
shall be instructed in writing by a Majority in Interest of Note Holders.
Subject to the provisions of Section 5.03, if the Mortgagee shall not have
received instructions as above provided within 20 days after mailing notice of
such Event of Default to the Note Holders, the Mortgagee may, subject to
instructions thereafter received pursuant to the preceding provisions of this
Section 5.01, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, but shall be
under no duty to take or refrain from taking any action, with respect to such
Event of Default or Default as it shall determine advisable in the best
interests of the Note Holders; provided, however, that the Mortgagee may not
sell the Aircraft or any Engine without the consent of a Majority in Interest of
Note Holders. For all purposes of this Trust Indenture, in the absence of Actual
Knowledge on the part of the Mortgagee, the Owner Trustee or the Owner
Participant, the Mortgagee, the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant, as the
case may be, shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default or an Event of
Default (except, in the case of the Mortgagee, the failure of Lessee to pay any
installment of Basic Rent within one Business Day after the same shall become
due, if any portion of such installment was then required to be paid to the
Mortgagee, which failure shall constitute knowledge of a Default) unless
notified in writing by Lessee, the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or one
or more Note Holders.
52
-46-
SECTION 5.02. ACTION UPON INSTRUCTIONS; CERTAIN RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS
(a) Subject to the terms of Sections 2.13, 4.03, 4.04(a) and (b), 4.08,
5.01 and 5.03 hereof, upon the written instructions at any time and from time to
time of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, the Mortgagee shall, subject to
the terms of this Section 5.02, take such of the following actions as may be
specified in such instructions: (i) give such notice or direction or exercise
such right, remedy or power hereunder as shall be specified in such
instructions; (ii) give such notice or direction or exercise such right, remedy
or power under the Lease, the Participation Agreement, the Purchase Agreement,
the Purchase Agreement Assignment, or any other part of the Trust Indenture
Estate as shall be specified in such instructions; and (iii) approve as
satisfactory to the Mortgagee all matters required by the terms of the Lease to
be satisfactory to the Owner Trustee, it being understood that without the
written instructions of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, the Mortgagee
shall not approve any such matter as satisfactory to the Mortgagee; provided,
that anything contained in this Trust Indenture, the Lease or the other
Operative Agreements to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to the next
paragraph hereof:
(1) the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant, may, without
the consent of the Mortgagee, demand, collect, ▇▇▇ for or otherwise obtain all
amounts included in Excluded Payments from Lessee and seek legal or equitable
remedies to require Lessee to maintain the insurance coverage referred to in
Section 11 of the Lease provided, that the rights referred to in this clause (1)
shall not be deemed to include the exercise of any remedies provided for in
Section 15 of the Lease other than the right to proceed by appropriate court
action, either at Law or in equity, to enforce payment by Lessee of such amounts
included in Excluded Payments or performance by Lessee of such insurance
covenant or to recover damages for the breach thereof or for specific
performance of any other term of the Lease;
(2) (A) the Mortgagee shall not, without the consent of the
Owner Trustee, enter into, execute or deliver amendments or modifications in
respect of any of the provisions of the Lease, and (B) unless a Mortgagee Event
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagee shall not, without the
consent of the Owner Trustee, which consent shall not be withheld if no right or
interest of the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant shall be diminished or
impaired thereby, (i) enter into, execute or deliver waivers or consents in
respect of any of the provisions of the Lease, or (ii) approve any accountants,
engineers, appraisers or counsel as satisfactory to render services for or issue
opinions to the Owner Trustee pursuant to the Operative Agreements, provided
that whether or not any Mortgagee Event has occurred and is continuing, the
Owner Trustee's consent shall be required with respect to any waivers or
consents in respect of any of the provisions of Section 5, 7 or 11 of the Lease,
or of any other Section of the Lease to the extent such action shall affect (y)
the amount or timing of, or the right to enforce payment of any Excluded Payment
or (z) the
53
-47-
amount or timing of any amounts payable by the Lessee under the Lease as
originally executed (or as subsequently modified with the consent of the Owner
Trustee) which, absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default
hereunder, would be distributable to the Owner Trustee under Article III hereof;
(3) whether or not a Default or Event of Default under this
Trust Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Owner Trustee and the Owner
Participant shall have the right, together with the Mortgagee, (i) to receive
from Lessee certificates and other documents and information which Lessee is
required to give or furnish to the Owner Trustee or the Lessor pursuant to any
Operative Agreement and (ii) to inspect in accordance with the Lease the

(5) so long as no Mortgagee Event has occurred and is
continuing, the Owner Trustee shall have the right, to the exclusion of the
Mortgagee, to adjust Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values, Termination Values, the
EBO Price and the EBO Date as provided in Section 3.2 of the Lease or to adjust
downward any installment or amount of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value or
Termination Value, as such installments and amounts are set forth in Schedules
2, 3 and 4, respectively, to the Lease, to the extent of the portion of such
installment or amount that would, under Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03 hereof, as
the case may be, be distributable to the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant;
(6) whether or not a Default or Event of Default under the
Trust Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Owner Trustee may, without

and Fair Market Rental Value under Section 17 of the Lease for all purposes
except following a Mortgagee Event pursuant to Section 15 of the Lease, and
(iii) make an election pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of

(7) so long as no Mortgagee Event shall have occurred and be
continuing, all other rights of the "Lessor" under the Lease shall be exercised
by the Owner Trustee to the exclusion of the Mortgagee including, without
limitation, the right to (i) exercise all rights with respect to Lessee's use
and operation, modification or maintenance of the Aircraft and any Engine which
the Lease specifically confers on the Lessor, and (ii) consent to and approve
any assignment pursuant to Section 13 of the Lease; provided that the

-48-
foregoing shall not (x) limit (A) any rights separately granted to the Mortgagee
under the Operative Agreements or (B) the right of the Mortgagee to receive any
funds to be delivered to the "Lessor" under the Lease (except with respect to
Excluded Payments) and under the Purchase Agreement or (y) confer upon the Owner
Trustee the right to adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the lien
of this Indenture.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including
this Section 5.02), the Mortgagee shall have the right, to the exclusion of the
Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant, to (A) declare the Lease to be in
default under Section 15 thereof and (B) subject only to the provisions of
Sections 4.03, 4.04(a) and (b) and 2.13 hereof, exercise the remedies set forth
in such Section 15 (other than in connection with Excluded Payments and provided
that each of the Owner Trustee, Owner Participant and Mortgagee shall
independently retain the rights set forth in clause (ii) of Section 15.1.5 of
the Lease) at any time that a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. Further and for the avoidance of doubt, and anything to the contrary
contained herein (including this Section 5.02), in no event may the Owner
Trustee amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2.1(e) of the
Lease or of the final sentence of the definition of Stipulated Loss Value or
Termination Value, in any such case, without the prior written consent of the
Mortgagee.

relating to the security interest created hereunder in the Trust Indenture
Estate as may be specified from time to time in written instructions of a
Majority in Interest of Note Holders (which instructions shall be accompanied by
the form of such continuation statement so to be filed). The Mortgagee will
furnish to each Note Holder (and, during the continuation of a Mortgagee Event,
to the Owner Trustee and Owner Participant), promptly upon receipt thereof,
duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests, demands, certificates
and other instruments furnished to the Mortgagee under the Lease or hereunder,
including, without limitation, a copy of any Termination Notice (as defined in

and Paragraph E of Annex D of the Lease, respectively to the extent that the
same shall not have been furnished to such holder pursuant hereto or the Lease.
(b) If any Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and the Owner Trustee shall not have cured fully such Lease Event of Default
under and in accordance with Section 4.03 hereof, on request of a Majority in
Interest of Note Holders, the Mortgagee shall declare the Lease to be in default
pursuant to Section 15 thereof and exercise those remedies specified by such
Note Holders. The Mortgagee agrees to provide to the Note Holders, the Owner
Trustee and the Owner Participant concurrently with such declaration by the
Mortgagee, notice of such declaration by the Mortgagee.

SECTION 5.03. INDEMNIFICATION
The Mortgagee shall not be required to take any action or refrain from
taking any action under Section 5.01 (other than the first sentence thereof),
5.02 or Article IV hereof unless the Mortgagee shall have been indemnified to
its reasonable satisfaction against any liability, cost or expense (including
counsel fees) which may be incurred in connection therewith pursuant to a
written agreement with one or more Note Holders. The Mortgagee agrees that it
shall look solely to the Note Holders for the satisfaction of any indemnity
(except expenses for foreclosure of the type referred to in clause "First" of
Section 3.03 hereof) owed to it pursuant to this Section 5.03. The Mortgagee
shall not be under any obligation to take any action under this Trust Indenture
or any other Operative Agreement and nothing herein or therein shall require the
Mortgagee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur the risk of any
financial liability in the performance of any of its rights or powers if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it (the written indemnity of any Note Holder who is a QIB, signed by an
authorized officer thereof, in favor of, delivered to and in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Mortgagee shall be accepted as reasonable assurance of
adequate indemnity). The Mortgagee shall not be required to take any action
under Section 5.01 (other than the first sentence thereof) or 5.02 or Article IV
hereof, nor shall any other provision of this Trust Indenture or any other
Operative Agreement be deemed to impose a duty on the Mortgagee to take any
action, if the Mortgagee shall have been advised by counsel that such action is
contrary to the terms hereof or of the Lease or is otherwise contrary to Law.
SECTION 5.04. NO DUTIES EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN TRUST INDENTURE OR
INSTRUCTIONS
The Mortgagee shall not have any duty or obligation to use, operate,
store, lease, control, manage, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with the
Aircraft or any other part of the Trust Indenture Estate, or to otherwise take
or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Trust
Indenture or any part of the Trust Indenture Estate, except as expressly
provided by the terms of this Trust Indenture or as expressly provided in
written instructions from Note Holders as provided in this Trust Indenture; and
no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Trust Indenture against
the Mortgagee. The Mortgagee agrees that it will in its individual capacity and
at its own cost and expense (but without any right of indemnity in respect of
any such cost or expense under Section 7.01 hereof), promptly take such action
as may be necessary duly to discharge all liens and encumbrances on any part of
the Trust Indenture Estate which result from claims against it in its individual
capacity not related to the ownership of the Aircraft or the administration of
the Trust Indenture Estate or any other transaction pursuant to this Trust
Indenture or any document included in the Trust Indenture Estate.
56
-50-
SECTION 5.05. NO ACTION EXCEPT UNDER LEASE, TRUST INDENTURE OR
INSTRUCTIONS
The Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee agree that they will not use,
operate, store, lease, control, manage, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with
the Aircraft or any other part of the Trust Indenture Estate except (i) as
required or permitted by the terms of the Lease or (ii) in accordance with the
powers granted to, or the authority conferred upon, the Owner Trustee and the
Mortgagee pursuant to this Trust Indenture and in accordance with the express
terms hereof.
SECTION 5.06. REPLACEMENT AIRFRAMES AND REPLACEMENT ENGINES
At any time an Airframe or Engine is to be replaced under or pursuant
to Section 10 of the Lease by a Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine, if
no Lease Event of Default is continuing, the Owner Trustee shall direct the
Mortgagee to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an appropriate instrument
releasing such Airframe and/or Engine as appropriate from the Lien of this Trust
Indenture and the Mortgagee shall execute and deliver such instrument as
aforesaid, but only upon compliance by Lessee with the applicable provisions of
Section 10 of the Lease.
SECTION 5.07. INDENTURE SUPPLEMENTS FOR REPLACEMENTS
If a Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine is being substituted as
contemplated by Section 10 of the Lease, the Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee
agree for the benefit of the Note Holders and Lessee, subject to fulfillment of
the conditions precedent and compliance by Lessee with its obligations set forth
in Section 10 of the Lease and the requirements of Section 5.06 hereof with
respect to such Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine, to execute and
deliver a Lease Supplement and a Trust Indenture Supplement, as applicable, as
contemplated by Section 10 of the Lease.
SECTION 5.08. EFFECT OF REPLACEMENT
In the event of the substitution of an Airframe or of a Replacement
Engine pursuant to Section 10 of the Lease, all provisions of this Trust
Indenture relating to the Airframe or Engine or Engines being replaced shall be
applicable to such Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine or Engines with
the same force and effect as if such Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine
or Engines were the same airframe or engine or engines, as the case may be, as
the Airframe or Engine or Engines being replaced but for the Event of Loss with
respect to the Airframe or Engine or Engines being replaced and the provisions
of this Trust
57
-51-
Indenture shall cease to be applicable to the Airframe or Engine or Engines
being replaced, which shall be released from the Lien of the Trust Indenture.
SECTION 5.09. INVESTMENT OF AMOUNTS HELD BY MORTGAGEE
Any amounts held by the Mortgagee as assignee of the Owner Trustee's
rights to hold and invest monies for security pursuant to Section 4.4 of the
Lease shall be held in accordance with the terms of such Section and the
Mortgagee agrees, for the benefit of Lessee, to perform the duties of the Owner
Trustee under such Section. Any amounts held by the Mortgagee pursuant to the
proviso to the first sentence of Section 3.01, pursuant to Section 3.02, or
pursuant to any provision of any other Operative Agreement providing for amounts
to be held by the Mortgagee which are not distributed pursuant to the other
provisions of Article III hereof shall be invested by the Mortgagee from time to
time in Cash Equivalents as directed by the Owner Trustee so long as the
Mortgagee may acquire the same using its best efforts. Unless otherwise
expressly provided in this Trust Indenture, any income realized as a result of
any such investment, net of the Mortgagee's reasonable fees and expenses in
making such investment, shall be held and applied by the Mortgagee in the same
manner as the principal amount of such investment is to be applied and any
losses, net of earnings and such reasonable fees and expenses, shall be charged
against the principal amount invested. The Mortgagee shall not be liable for any
loss resulting from any investment required to be made by it under this Trust
Indenture other than by reason of its willful misconduct or gross negligence,
and any such investment may be sold (without regard to its maturity) by the
Mortgagee without instructions whenever such sale is necessary to make a
distribution required by this Trust Indenture.

The Mortgagee accepts the duties hereby created and applicable to it
and agrees to perform the same but only upon the terms of this Trust Indenture
and agrees to receive and disburse all monies constituting part of the Trust
Indenture Estate in accordance with the terms hereof. The Owner Trustee, in its
individual capacity, and the Mortgagee, in its individual capacity, shall not be
answerable or accountable under any circumstances, except (i) for their own
willful misconduct or gross negligence (other than for the handling of funds,
for which the standard of accountability shall be willful misconduct or
negligence), (ii) in the case of the Mortgagee, as provided in the fourth
sentence of Section 2.04(a) hereof and
58
-52-
the last sentence of Section 5.04 hereof, and (iii) for liabilities that may

representation or warranty of the Owner Trustee expressly made in its individual
capacity in the Participation Agreement or in Section 4.01(b) or 6.03 hereof (or
in any certificate furnished to the Mortgagee or any Note Holder in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements) or, in the case
of the Mortgagee, from the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the
Mortgagee (expressly made in its individual capacity) in the Participation
Agreement or hereunder. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Mortgagee shall be
liable for any action or inaction of the other or of the Owner Participant.
SECTION 6.02. ABSENCE OF DUTIES
In the case of the Mortgagee, except in accordance with written
instructions furnished pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.02 hereof, and except as
provided in, and without limiting the generality of, Sections 5.03, 5.04 and
6.08 hereof and, in the case of the Owner Trustee, except as provided in Section
4.01(b) hereof, the Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee shall have no duty (i) to

Aircraft. The Owner Participant shall not have any duty or responsibility
hereunder, including, without limitation, any of the duties mentioned in clauses
(i) through (v) above; provided, that nothing contained in this sentence shall
limit any obligations of the Owner Participant under the Participation Agreement
or relieve the Owner Participant from any restriction under Section 4.03 hereof.
SECTION 6.03. NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO AIRCRAFT OR
DOCUMENTS
NEITHER THE MORTGAGEE IN ITS INDIVIDUAL OR TRUST CAPACITY NOR THE OWNER
TRUSTEE IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY OR AS OWNER TRUSTEE UNDER THE TRUST AGREEMENT
MAKES OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE AND EACH HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE TITLE, AIRWORTHINESS,
VALUE, COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, CONDITION, DESIGN, QUALITY, DURABILITY,
OPERATION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR USE FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE

-53-
TO THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE, AS TO
THE ABSENCE OF ANY INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT, AS TO THE
ABSENCE OF OBLIGATIONS BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR ANY OTHER
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, except the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity warrants that (i) the Owner Trustee has received on the
Delivery Date whatever title was conveyed to it, and (ii) the Aircraft is free
and clear of Lessor Liens attributable to the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity. Neither the Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity or as Owner
Trustee under the Trust Agreement, nor the Mortgagee, in its individual or trust
capacities, makes or shall be deemed to have made any representation or warranty
as to the validity, legality or enforceability of this Trust Indenture, the
Trust Agreement, the Participation Agreement, the Equipment Notes, the Lease,
the Purchase Agreement or the Purchase Agreement Assignment with the Consent and
Agreement and the Engine Consent and Agreement attached thereto, or as to the
correctness of any statement contained in any thereof, except for the
representations and warranties of the Owner Trustee made in its individual
capacity and the representations and warranties of the Mortgagee in its
individual capacity, in each case expressly made in this Trust Indenture or in
the Participation Agreement. The Loan Participants, the Note Holders and the
Owner Participant make no representation or warranty hereunder whatsoever.
SECTION 6.04. NO SEGREGATION OF MONIES; NO INTEREST
Any monies paid to or retained by the Mortgagee pursuant to any

the Lease and Section 5.09 hereof, and may be deposited under such general
conditions as may be prescribed by Law, and the Mortgagee shall not be liable
for any interest thereon (except that the Mortgagee shall invest all monies held
in accordance with Section 5.09 hereof); provided, however, that any payments
received, or applied hereunder, by the Mortgagee shall be accounted for by the
Mortgagee so that any portion thereof paid or applied pursuant hereto shall be

Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Mortgagee shall incur any liability
to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request,
consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper

or parties. The Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee may accept a copy of a
resolution of the Board of Directors (or Executive Committee thereof) of any
party to the Participation Agreement, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary thereof as duly adopted and in full force and effect, as conclusive
evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted and that the same is in full
force and effect. As to the aggregate
60
-54-
unpaid Original Amount of Equipment Notes outstanding as of any date, the Owner
Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate signed by any Vice
President or other authorized corporate trust officer of the Mortgagee. As to
any fact or matter relating to Lessee the manner of which is not specifically
described herein, the Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee may for all purposes
hereof rely on a certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of Lessee, as
to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to
the Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee for any action taken or omitted to be taken
by them in good faith in reliance thereon. The Mortgagee shall assume, and shall
be fully protected in assuming, that the Owner Trustee is authorized by the
Trust Agreement to enter into this Trust Indenture and to take all action to be
taken by it pursuant to the provisions hereof, and shall not inquire into the
authorization of the Owner Trustee with respect thereto. In the administration
of the trusts hereunder, the Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee each may execute
any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform its powers and duties hereunder
directly or through agents or attorneys and may, at the expense of the Trust
Indenture Estate, advise with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to
be selected and retained by it, and the Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee shall
not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by them in
accordance with the written advice or written opinion of any such counsel,
accountants or other skilled persons.

otherwise expressly provided herein, in the Trust Agreement and in the
Participation Agreement.
SECTION 6.07. COMPENSATION
The Mortgagee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation, including
expenses and disbursements (including the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel), for all services rendered hereunder and shall, on and subsequent to an
Event of Default hereunder, have a priority claim on the Trust Indenture Estate
for the payment of such compensation, to the extent that such compensation shall
not be paid by Lessee, and shall have the right, on and subsequent to an Event
of Default hereunder, to use or apply any monies held by it hereunder in the
Trust Indenture Estate toward such payments. The Mortgagee agrees that it shall
have no right against the Loan Participants, the Note Holders, the Owner Trustee
or the Owner Participant for any fee as compensation for its services as trustee
under this Trust Indenture.
SECTION 6.08. INSTRUCTIONS FROM NOTE HOLDERS
In the administration of the trusts created hereunder, the Mortgagee
shall have the right to seek instructions from a Majority in Interest of Note
Holders should any provision
61
-55-
of this Trust Indenture appear to conflict with any other provision herein or
should the Mortgagee's duties or obligations hereunder be unclear, and the
Mortgagee shall incur no liability in refraining from acting until it receives
such instructions. The Mortgagee shall be fully protected by the Note Holders
for acting in accordance with any instructions received under this Section 6.08.
ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION OF MORTGAGEE BY OWNER TRUSTEE
SECTION 7.01. SCOPE OF INDEMNIFICATION
The Owner Trustee, not in its individual capacity, but solely as Owner
Trustee, hereby agrees, whether or not any of the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be consummated, except as to matters covered by any indemnity
furnished as contemplated by Section 5.03 hereof and except as otherwise
provided in Section 2.03 or 2.04(b) hereof, to assume liability for, and does
hereby indemnify, protect, save and keep harmless the Mortgagee (in its
individual and trust capacities), and its successors, assigns, agents and
servants, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, taxes (excluding any taxes payable by the Mortgagee on or
measured by any compensation received by the Mortgagee for its services under
this Trust Indenture), claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
(including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature
whatsoever, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Mortgagee (whether or not also indemnified against by any other person under any
other document) in any way relating to or arising out of this Trust Indenture or
any other Operative Agreement to which it is a party or the enforcement of any
of the terms of any thereof, or in any way relating to or arising out of the
manufacture, purchase, acceptance, non-acceptance, rejection, ownership,
delivery, lease, possession, use, operation, condition, sale, return or other
disposition of the Aircraft or any Engine (including, without limitation, latent
or other defects, whether or not discoverable, and any claim for patent,
trademark or copyright infringement), or in any way relating to or arising out
of the administration of the Trust Indenture Estate or the action or inaction of
the Mortgagee hereunder except only in the case of willful misconduct or gross
negligence (or negligence in the case of handling funds) of the Mortgagee in the
performance of its duties hereunder or resulting from the inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty of the Mortgagee (expressly made in its individual
capacity) in or referred to in Section 6.03 hereof, or as provided in Section
6.01 hereof or in the last sentence of Section 5.04 hereof, or as otherwise
excluded by the terms of Section 9.1 or 9.3 of the Participation Agreement from
Lessee's indemnities under such Sections. In addition, if necessary, the
Mortgagee shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust Indenture Estate
for any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, claim,
62
-56-
action, suit, cost, expense or disbursement indemnified against pursuant to this
Section 7.01 to the extent not reimbursed by Lessee or others, but without
releasing any of them from their respective agreements of reimbursement; and to
secure the same the Mortgagee shall have a prior Lien on the Trust Indenture
Estate. Without limiting the foregoing, the Mortgagee agrees that, prior to
seeking indemnification from the Trust Indenture Estate, it will demand, and
diligently pursue in good faith (but with no duty to exhaust all legal remedies
therefor), indemnification available to the Mortgagee from Lessee under the
Lease or the Participation Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII
SUCCESSOR AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES
SECTION 8.01. NOTICE OF SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEE
In the case of any appointment of a successor to the Owner Trustee
pursuant to the Trust Agreement including upon any merger, conversion,

the Owner Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the successor Owner Trustee
shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Mortgagee, Lessee and the Note
Holders.
SECTION 8.02. RESIGNATION OF MORTGAGEE; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR
(a) The Mortgagee or any successor thereto may resign at any time
without cause by giving at least 30 days prior written notice to Lessee, the
Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and each Note Holder, such resignation to
be effective upon the acceptance of the trusteeship by a successor Mortgagee. In
addition, a Majority in Interest of Note Holders may at any time (but only with
the consent of the Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
except that such consent shall not be necessary if a Lease Event of Default is
continuing) remove the Mortgagee without cause by an instrument in writing
delivered to the Owner Trustee, Lessee, the Owner Participant and the Mortgagee,
and the Mortgagee shall promptly notify each Note Holder thereof in writing,
such removal to be effective upon the acceptance of the trusteeship by a
successor Mortgagee. In the case of the resignation or removal of the Mortgagee,
a Majority in Interest of Note Holders may appoint a successor Mortgagee by an
instrument signed by such holders, which successor, so long as no Lease Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be subject to Lessee's
reasonable approval. If a successor Mortgagee shall not have been appointed
within 30 days after such notice of resignation or removal, the Mortgagee, the
Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or
63
-57-
any Note Holder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a
successor Mortgagee to act until such time, if any, as a successor shall have
been appointed as above provided. The successor Mortgagee so appointed by such
court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor
Mortgagee appointed as above provided.
(b) Any successor Mortgagee, however appointed, shall execute and
deliver to the Owner Trustee, the predecessor Mortgagee and the Lessee an
instrument accepting such appointment and assuming the obligations of the
Mortgagee under the Participation Agreement arising from and after the time of
such appointment, and thereupon such successor Mortgagee, without further act,
shall become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and duties
of the predecessor Mortgagee hereunder in the trust hereunder applicable to it
with like effect as if originally named the Mortgagee herein; but nevertheless
upon the written request of such successor Mortgagee, such predecessor Mortgagee
shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Mortgagee, upon the trusts herein expressed applicable to it, all the estates,
properties, rights and powers of such predecessor Mortgagee, and such
predecessor Mortgagee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to such
successor Mortgagee all monies or other property then held by such predecessor
Mortgagee hereunder.
(c) Any successor Mortgagee, however appointed, shall be a bank or
trust company having its principal place of business in the Borough of
Manhattan, City and State of New York; Chicago, Illinois; Hartford, Connecticut;
Wilmington, Delaware; or Boston, Massachusetts and having (or whose obligations
under the Operative Agreements are guaranteed by an affiliated entity having) a
combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000, if there be such an
institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of the
Mortgagee hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms.
(d) Any corporation into which the Mortgagee may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Mortgagee shall be a party, or
any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust business of the
Mortgagee may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of paragraph (c) of
this Section 8.02, be a successor Mortgagee and the Mortgagee under this Trust
Indenture without further act.
SECTION 8.03. APPOINTMENT OF ADDITIONAL AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES
(a) Whenever (i) the Mortgagee shall deem it necessary or desirable in
order to conform to any Law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the
Trust Indenture Estate shall be situated or to make any claim or bring any suit
with respect to or in connection with the Trust Indenture Estate, this Trust
Indenture, any other Indenture Agreement, the Equipment
64
-58-
Notes or any of the transactions contemplated by the Participation Agreement,
(ii) the Mortgagee shall be advised by counsel satisfactory to it that it is so
necessary or prudent in the interests of the Note Holders (and the Mortgagee
shall so advise the Owner Trustee and Lessee), or (iii) the Mortgagee shall have
been requested to do so by a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, then in any
such case, the Mortgagee and, upon the written request of the Mortgagee, the
Owner Trustee, shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and
such other instruments as may from time to time be necessary or advisable either
(1) to constitute one or more bank or trust companies or one or more persons
approved by the Mortgagee, either to act jointly with the Mortgagee as
additional trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Trust Indenture Estate,
or to act as separate trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Trust
Indenture Estate, in each case with such rights, powers, duties and obligations
consistent with this Trust Indenture as may be provided in such supplemental
indenture or other instruments as the Mortgagee or a Majority in Interest of
Note Holders may deem necessary or advisable, or (2) to clarify, add to or
subtract from the rights, powers, duties and obligations theretofore granted any
such additional or separate trustee, subject in each case to the remaining
provisions of this Section 8.03. If the Owner Trustee shall not have taken any
action requested of it under this Section 8.03(a) that is permitted or required
by its terms within 15 days after the receipt of a written request from the
Mortgagee so to do, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Mortgagee may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section
8.03(a) without the concurrence of the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee
hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the
Mortgagee, its agent and attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing
provisions of this Section 8.03(a) in either of such contingencies. The
Mortgagee may, in such capacity, execute, deliver and perform any such
supplemental indenture, or any such instrument, as may be required for the
appointment of any such additional or separate trustee or for the clarification
of, addition to or subtraction from the rights, powers, duties or obligations
theretofore granted to any such additional or separate trustee. In case any
additional or separate trustee appointed under this Section 8.03(a) shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the assets, property,
rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such additional or separate
trustee shall revert to the Mortgagee until a successor additional or separate
trustee is appointed as provided in this Section 8.03(a).
(b) No additional or separate trustee shall be entitled to exercise any
of the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon the Mortgagee in
respect of the custody, investment and payment of monies and all monies received
by any such additional or separate trustee from or constituting part of the
Trust Indenture Estate or otherwise payable under any Operative Agreement to the
Mortgagee shall be promptly paid over by it to the Mortgagee. All other rights,
powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon any additional or
separate trustee shall be exercised or performed by the Mortgagee and such
additional or separate trustee jointly except to the extent that applicable Law
of any jurisdiction in which any
65
-59-
particular act is to be performed renders the Mortgagee incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to all or part of the Trust
Indenture Estate in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by
such additional or separate trustee. No additional or separate trustee shall
take any discretionary action except on the instructions of the Mortgagee or a
Majority in Interest of Note Holders. No trustee hereunder shall be personally
liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, except
that the Mortgagee shall be liable for the consequences of its lack of
reasonable care in selecting, and the Mortgagee's own actions in acting with,
any additional or separate trustee. Each additional or separate trustee
appointed pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall be subject to, and shall have the
benefit of Articles IV through VIII and Article X hereof insofar as they apply
to the Mortgagee. The powers of any additional or separate trustee appointed
pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall not in any case exceed those of the
Mortgagee hereunder.
(c) If at any time the Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or
desirable or in order to conform to any such Law or take any such action or
shall be advised by such counsel that it is no longer so necessary or desirable
in the interest of the Note Holders, or in the event that the Mortgagee shall
have been requested to do so in writing by a Majority in Interest of Note
Holders, the Mortgagee and, upon the written request of the Mortgagee, the Owner
Trustee, shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and all
other instruments and agreements necessary or proper to remove any additional or
separate trustee. The Mortgagee may act on behalf of the Owner Trustee under
this Section 8.03(c) when and to the extent it could so act under Section
8.03(a) hereof.
