All Class C Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Class C Certificates shall be valid obligations of the Class C Trust, evidencing the same interest therein, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Class C Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer or exchange of any Class C Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other office or agency, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Class C Certificates, in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest.

Upon request of the Company and the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions specified in the Certificate Purchase Agreement, the Trustee shall execute, deliver, authenticate, issue and sell Class C Certificates in authorized denominations equaling in the aggregate the amount set forth, with respect to the Class C Trust, in Schedule I to the Certificate Purchase Agreement evidencing the entire ownership interest in the Class C Trust, which amount equals the maximum aggregate principal amount of Series C Equipment Notes to be purchased on the date hereof pursuant to the PA Amendments with respect to the Funded Aircraft and which may be purchased from time to time by the Trustee pursuant to the NPA with respect to the Pre-Funded Aircraft. Except as provided in Sections 3.03, 3.04 and 3.06 of the Basic Agreement or Section 4.03 of this Trust Supplement, the Trustee shall not execute, authenticate or deliver Class C Certificates in excess of the aggregate amount specified in this paragraph.

On or after the Issuance Date, the Company may deliver from time to time, and in accordance with Section 1(b) of the NPA, to the Trustee a Funding Notice relating to one or more Series C Equipment Notes relating to the Pre-Funded Aircraft. After receipt of such a Funding Notice and in any case no later than one Business Day prior to a Funding Date as to which such Funding Notice relates (the “Applicable Funding Date”), the Trustee shall (as and when specified in the Funding Notice) deliver to the Escrow Agent the Withdrawal Certificates and related Applicable Notices of Purchase Withdrawal, as contemplated by Section 1.02(c) of the Escrow Agreement and by such Funding Notice.

If at any time prior to the Applicable Funding Date, the Trustee receives from the Company a notice pursuant to the first sentence of Section 1(f) of the NPA, then the Trustee shall give notice to the Depositary (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) of the cancellation of such Notice of Purchase Withdrawal relating to such Deposit or Deposits on such Applicable Funding Date as contemplated by Section 2.3 of the Deposit Agreement. Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the NPA and the Applicable Participation Agreement, the Trustee shall purchase the Series C Equipment Notes relating to the applicable Pre-Funded Aircraft with the proceeds of the withdrawals of one or more Deposits made on the Applicable Funding Date in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The purchase price of such Series C Equipment Notes shall equal the principal amount of such Series C Equipment Notes. Amounts withdrawn from such Deposit or Deposits in excess of the purchase price of the Series C Equipment Notes or to the extent not applied on the Applicable Funding Date to the purchase price of the Series C Equipment Notes shall be re-deposited by the Trustee with the Depositary on the Applicable Funding Date in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement.

(b) With respect to the Class C Trust, Section 4.01(b) of the Basic Agreement is superseded and replaced in its entirety with the following: “The Trustee shall establish and maintain on behalf of the Class C Certificateholders a Special Payments Account as one or more accounts, which shall be non-interest bearing except as provided in Section 4.04 of the Basic Agreement. The Trustee shall hold the Special Payments Account in trust for the benefit of the Class C Certificateholders and shall make or permit withdrawals therefrom only as provided in the Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement. On each day when one or more Special Payments are made to the Trustee under the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee, upon receipt thereof, shall immediately deposit the aggregate amount of such Special Payments in the Special Payments Account.”
(c) With respect to the Class C Trust, the second through fifth sentences of Section 4.02(c) of the Basic Agreement shall be superseded and replaced in their entirety with the following sentence: “Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement: (i) in the event of redemption or purchase of Series C Equipment Notes held in the Class C Trust, such notice shall be mailed not less than 15 days prior to the Special Distribution Date for the Special Payment resulting from such redemption or purchase, which Special Distribution Date shall be the date of such redemption or purchase; and (ii) in the case of any other Special Payments, such notice of Special Payment shall be mailed as soon as practicable after the Trustee has confirmed that it has received funds for such Special Payment and shall state the Special Distribution Date for such Special Payment, which shall occur 15 days after the date of such notice of Special Payment or (if such 15th day is not practicable) as soon as practicable thereafter.”
(d) With respect to the Class C Trust, clause (ii) of the sixth sentence of Section 4.02(c) of the Basic Agreement shall be amended by deleting in its entirety the parenthetical phrase “(taking into account any payment to be made by the Company pursuant to Section 2.02(b)).”

Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after notice mailed by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in such notice.
The Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or an obligation guaranteed by, or an interest in, the Company, the Trustee, the Subordination Agent, any Loan Trustee or any Affiliate of any thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement. All payments or distributions made to Certificateholders under the Agreement shall be made only from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Trustee shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such payments in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Each Certificateholder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for any payment or distribution to such Certificateholder pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and that it will not have any recourse to the Company, the Trustee, the Loan Trustees or any Affiliate of any thereof except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement, in any Note Document or in the Intercreditor Agreement. This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon request.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof, and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement, at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Trust. Any such consent by the Certificateholder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Registrar, or by any successor Registrar, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized

in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in minimum denominations of $500,000 Fractional Undivided Interest and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof except that one Certificate may be issued in a different denomination. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, as requested by the Certificateholder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and any Paying Agent shall deem and treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate or such interest, agrees to treat the Trust as a grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Property.
Any Person acquiring or accepting this Certificate will, by such acquisition or acceptance, be deemed to (a) represent and warrant to the Company, the Loan Trustees and the Trustee that either: (i) no assets of a Plan or any trust established with respect to a Plan have been used to purchase or hold this Certificate or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Certificate by such Person are exempt from the prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA and the Code or provisions of Similar Law pursuant to one or more prohibited transaction statutory or administrative exemptions or similar exemptions under Similar Law and (b) direct the Trustee to invest the assets held in the Trust pursuant to, and take all other actions contemplated by, the terms and conditions of the Basic Agreement, this Trust Supplement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the NPA, and each Participation Agreement.
Any Person who is an ERISA Plan and is acquiring or accepting this Certificate will, by such acquisition or acceptance, be deemed to represent and warrant to the Company, the Loan Trustees and the Trustee, at any time when regulation 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-21, as modified in 2016, is applicable that the decision to acquire or accept this Certificate has been made by a duly authorized fiduciary of the ERISA Plan that (i) is independent (as that term is used in 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-21(c)(1)) of the Company and its Affiliates and there is no financial interest, ownership interest, or other relationship, agreement or understanding or otherwise that would limit its ability to carry out its fiduciary responsibility to the ERISA Plan; (ii) is a bank, insurance carrier, registered investment adviser, a registered broker-dealer, or an independent fiduciary that holds, or has under management or control, total assets of at least $50 million (in each case, as specified in 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-21(c)(1)(i)(A)-(E)); (iii) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to particular transactions and investment strategies (including, without limitation, with respect to the decision to acquire or accept this Certificate); (iv) has been fairly informed that the Company and its Affiliates have not and will not undertake to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the acquisition or acceptance of this Certificate; (v) has been fairly informed that the Company and its Affiliates have financial interests in the ERISA Plan’s acquisition or acceptance of this Certificate, which interests may conflict with the interest of
