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

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 clauses
(1) through [(8)/(9)] 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,

payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment

enforce the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to
which it may be entitled at any time or times.
The Owner Trustee does hereby constitute the Mortgagee the true and
lawful attorney of the Owner Trustee, irrevocably, granted for good and valuable
consideration and coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution,
and with full power (in the name of the Owner Trustee or otherwise) to ask for,

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 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 [or any Permitted Sublessee] 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) 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 (other than Excluded Payments), including Basic
Rent, Stipulated Loss Value, Termination Value or any other payment 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

permitted sublease.
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 described or
referred to 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 sale, transfer,
assignment, grant, 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.

FIRST SECURITY BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, not in its individual
capacity but solely as Owner Trustee (herein in such capacity called the "Owner
Trustee") under that certain Trust Agreement [___], dated as of [____________,
199_], between the Owner Participant named therein and First Security Bank,
National Association (herein as such Trust Agreement may be supplemented or
amended from time to time called the "Trust Agreement"), hereby promises to pay
to __________________, or the registered assignee thereof, the principal sum of
$____________ (the "Original Amount"), together with interest on the amount of
the Original Amount remaining unpaid from time to time (calculated on the basis
of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months) from the date hereof
until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Debt Rate. The Original
Amount of this Equipment Note shall be payable in installments on the dates set
forth in Schedule I hereto equal to the corresponding percentage of the Original
Amount of this Equipment Note set forth in Schedule I hereto. Accrued but unpaid
interest shall be due and payable in semiannual installments commencing on

to and including [_______________]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final
payment made on this 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, this Equipment Note. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if any date on which a payment under
this 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.
For purposes hereof, the term "Trust Indenture" means the Trust
Indenture and Mortgage [___], dated as of [_____________, 199_], between the
Owner Trustee and Wilmington Trust Company (the "Mortgagee"), as the same may be
amended or supplemented from time to time. All other capitalized terms used in
this Equipment Note and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings
assigned in the Trust Indenture.
This Equipment Note shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the
Payment Due Rate (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of
twelve 30-day months) on any overdue Original Amount, any overdue Make-Whole
Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) any overdue
interest and any other amounts payable hereunder which are 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).
All payments of Original Amount, interest, Make-Whole Amount, if
any, and other amounts, if any, to be made by the Owner Trustee hereunder and
under the Trust Indenture or the Participation Agreement 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 Section 2.03 and Article III of the Trust
Indenture, and each holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Equipment Note,
agrees that it will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust
Indenture Estate to the extent available for distribution to the holder hereof
as above provided and that none of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee and
the Mortgagee is personally liable or liable in any manner extending to any
assets other than the Trust Indenture Estate to the holder hereof for any
amounts payable or any liability under this Equipment Note or, except as
provided in the Trust Indenture or in the Participation Agreement, for any
liability under the Trust Indenture or the Participation Agreement; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that nothing herein contained shall limit, restrict or impair the right
of the Mortgagee, subject always to the terms and provisions of the Trust
Indenture, to accelerate the maturity of this Equipment Note upon occurrence of
an Event of Default under the Trust Indenture in accordance with Section 4.04(b)
of the Trust Indenture, to bring suit and obtain a judgment against the Owner
Trustee on this Equipment Note for purposes of realizing upon the Trust
Indenture Estate and to exercise all rights and remedies provided under the
Trust Indenture or otherwise realize upon the Trust Indenture Estate as provided
under the Trust Indenture.
There shall be maintained an Equipment Note Register for the purpose
of registering transfers and exchanges of Equipment Notes at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Mortgagee or at the office of any successor in the manner provided
in Section 2.07 of the Trust Indenture.
The Original Amount and interest and other amounts due hereunder
shall be payable in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Mortgagee, or as otherwise provided in the Trust Indenture.
Each such payment shall be made on the date such payment is due and without any
presentment or surrender of this Equipment Note, except that in the case of any

SECTION 2.02. ISSUANCE AND TERMS OF EQUIPMENT NOTES
The Equipment Notes shall be dated the date of issuance thereof,

Series C and Series D 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 Applicable Pass Through Trustees under the Applicable 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

Each Equipment Note shall bear interest at the 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
on [_____________, 199_], 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 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 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 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 of each Liquidity Facility minus Investment Earnings from
such Non-Extension Advance multiplied by (y) the fraction specified in the
foregoing clause (i); and (iv) if any payment default shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to interest on any Series A Equipment Notes, Series B
Equipment Notes or Series C Equipment Notes, (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 of each Liquidity
Facility OVER (2) the 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"). 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 or the
Intercreditor Agreement referred to therein.
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.
The aggregate Original Amount of the Equipment Notes issued
hereunder shall not exceed [__]% 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 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 Trustee 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 12:30
p.m., 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 2:00 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 distributed to such holder, for credit to the account of such
holder maintained at such bank. If the Mortgagee shall fail to make any such
payment as provided in the immediately foregoing sentence after its receipt of
funds at the place and prior to the time specified above, the Mortgagee, in its
individual capacity and not as trustee, agrees to compensate such holders for
loss of use of funds at the Debt Rate until such payment is made and the
Mortgagee shall be entitled to any interest earned on such funds until such
payment is made. 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 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 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, 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 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 with 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.
(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
(a) On the date on which Lessee is required pursuant to Section
10.1.2 of the Lease to make payment for an Event of Loss with respect to the
Aircraft, all of the Equipment Notes shall be redeemed in whole at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the unpaid Original Amount thereof, together with all
accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption and all other Secured
Obligations owed or then due and payable to the Note Holders but without
Make-Whole Amount.
(b) If the Lease is terminated with respect to the Aircraft by
Lessee pursuant to Section 9 thereof, on the date the Lease is so terminated,
all the Equipment Notes shall be redeemed in whole at a redemption price equal
to 100% of the unpaid Original Amount thereof, together with accrued interest
thereon to the date of redemption and all other amounts then due and payable
hereunder and under the Participation Agreement and all other Operative
Agreements to the Note Holders plus Make-Whole Amount, if any.
SECTION 2.11. VOLUNTARY REDEMPTIONS OF EQUIPMENT NOTES

not in fact terminate on the specified termination date or if notice of such
redemption shall have been given in connection with a refinancing of Equipment
Notes and the Mortgagee receives written notice of such revocation from the
Lessee or the Owner Trustee not later than three days prior to the redemption
date. All notices of redemption shall state: (1) the redemption date, (2) the
applicable basis for determining the redemption price, (3) that on the

interest. Upon surrender of any such Equipment Note for redemption in accordance
with said notice, such Equipment Note shall be redeemed at the redemption price.
If any Equipment Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the principal amount thereof shall, until paid, continue
to bear interest from the applicable redemption date at the interest rate in
effect for such Equipment Note as of such redemption date.
SECTION 2.13. OPTION TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT NOTES
The Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant may, upon the events and
subject to the terms and conditions and for the price set forth in this Section
2.13, purchase all but not less than all of the Equipment Notes outstanding
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

upon a Mortgagee Event or (y) in the event there shall have occurred and be
continuing a Lease Event of Default, PROVIDED that if such option is exercised
pursuant to clause (y) at a time when there shall have occurred and be
continuing for less than 120 days a Lease Event of Default, the purchase price
thereof shall equal the price provided in the preceding sentence plus the
Make-Whole Amount, if any.
Such option to purchase the Equipment Notes may be exercised by the
Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant giving irrevocable written notice of its
election of such option to the Mortgagee, which notice shall specify a date for
such purchase within 15 days of the date of such notice. The Mortgagee shall

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.

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

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

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 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] [six]
immediately preceding Basic Rent payment dates, or the Owner Trustee has cured
[six] [eight] 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
----------
Insert appropriate term for Owner Participant
Insert appropriate term for Owner Participant
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 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 pursuant to any
Permitted Sublease assignment] 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 twenty 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,
the Mortgagee shall not be entitled to exercise any remedy hereunder as a result
of an Event of Default which arises solely by reason of one or more events or
circumstances which constitute a Lease Event of Default 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 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
----------
Insert bracketed language if the Lease provides for the assignment of a
permitted sublease.
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 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 (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 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, 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.
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.
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.
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),

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 [(or the comparable provisions of
any assigned Permitted Sublease)] 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 [(or the comparable provisions of any assigned Permitted
Sublease)];
(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[, any assigned Permitted
Sublease or any Permitted Sublease assignment], 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 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 the 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 [or any Permitted Sublessee] 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 Airframe

the Owner Trustee shall have the right, to the exclusion of the Mortgagee,

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
the consent of the Mortgagee, (i) solicit and make bids with respect to
the Aircraft under Section 9 of the Lease in respect of a termination of
the Lease by Lessee pursuant to Section 9 thereof, (ii) determine Fair
Market Sales Value and Fair Market Rental Value under Section 17 of the

accordance with the provisions of Sections 9.1(b), 9.2 and 9.3 of the
Lease; and
(7) so long as no Mortgagee Event shall have occurred and be
continuing, all other rights of the "Lessor" under the Lease [or any
assigned Permitted Sublease] 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
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.

to be filed such continuation statements with respect to financing statements
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 each report or notice received pursuant
to Section 9 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.
----------
Insert bracketed language if the Lease provides for the assignment of a
permitted sublease.
(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.
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 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.
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 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. All Cash Equivalents held by the
Mortgagee pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Lease or this Section 5.09 shall either
be (a) registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or specially endorsed
to, the Mortgagee, or (b) held in an Eligible Account. 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.

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 (in its individual
capacity), from the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the

to the 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,

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

permitted sublease.
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

each case expressly made in this Trust Indenture or in the Participation
Agreement. The Loan Participants, the Note Holders and the Owner Participant

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
as directed by Lessee so long as no Lease Event of Default or Lease Default has
occurred and is continuing (or in the absence of such direction, by the Majority
In Interest of Note Holders) in Cash Equivalents; 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 identifiable as to the source thereof.
SECTION 6.05. RELIANCE; AGREEMENTS; ADVICE OF COUNSEL
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 believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed
by the proper party 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 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 the ascertainment 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.

the Trust Agreement provided, and not in its individual capacity, except as
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 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 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 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 (in its individual capacity) 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, 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,
consolidation or sale of substantially all of the corporate trust business of
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 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 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 moved, 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 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
