this Trust Agreement or any other Operative Agreement to which First Security,

5.3 and 7; provided, that Owner Trustee shall have a Lien upon the Trust Estate
for any such fee not paid by Lessee or Owner Participant, as the case may be, as

entitle Owner Trustee to priority as to payment thereof over payment to any
other Person under this Trust Agreement; provided, that such Lien shall be
subject and subordinate in all events to the Lien of the Trust Indenture; and
provided, further, that Owner Trustee shall have no right to exercise, and shall

contemplated hereby shall be consummated, to assume liability for, and hereby
indemnifies, protects, saves and keeps harmless, First Security and its
successors, assigns, agents and servants, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, taxes (excluding any Taxes
which are not required to be indemnified by Lessee pursuant to Section 9.1 or
9.3 of the Participation Agreement and excluding any taxes payable by First
Security on or measured by any compensation received by First Security for its
services under this Trust Agreement), claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and
expenses, but excluding internal costs and expenses such as salaries and
overhead, and including, without limitation, any liability of an owner, any
strict liability and any liability without fault) of any kind and nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against First
Security (whether or not also indemnified against by Lessee under the Lease or
under the Participation Agreement or also indemnified against by any other
Person; provided, that Owner Participant shall be subrogated to the rights of
Owner Trustee against Lessee or any other indemnitor) in any way relating to or
arising out of this Trust Agreement or any of the other Operative Agreements 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, nonacceptance, rejection,
ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use, operation, condition, sale, return
or other disposition of the Aircraft (including, without limitation, latent and
other defects, whether or not discoverable, and any claim for patent, trademark
or copyright infringement), or in any way relating to
-15-
or arising out of the administration of the Trust Estate or the action or
inaction of Owner Trustee, under this Trust Agreement, except (a) in the case of
gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of First Security, in its
individual capacity or as Owner Trustee, in the performance or nonperformance of
its duties under this Trust Agreement or under any of the other Owner Trustee
Agreements or (b) those Expenses resulting from the inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty of First Security (or from the failure of First
Security to perform any of its covenants) in Section 6.3, in Section 6.03 of the
Trust Indenture, in Section 4 of the Lease, in Section 6.3 of the Participation
Agreement or elsewhere in any of the Operative Agreements or (c) as may result
from a breach by First Security of its covenant in the last sentence of Section
5.4.1 or (d) in the case of the failure to use ordinary care on the part of
First Security, in its individual capacity or as Owner Trustee, in the receipt
or disbursement of funds or in connection with its obligation to invest funds
pursuant to Section 4 of the Participation Agreement, Section 4.4 of the Lease
or Section 4.3 hereof or in compliance with the provisions of the first sentence
of Section 6.8 or (e) any liability on the part of Owner Trustee arising out of
its negligence or willful or negligent misconduct in connection with its
obligations under Section 5.1, 6.8 or 9.2 hereof or Section 4.01 of the Trust
Indenture, or (f) those Expenses arising under any circumstances or upon any
terms where Lessee would not have been required to indemnify First Security
pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.3 of the Participation Agreement (disregarding for
purposes of this Section 7(f), Sections 9.1.2(b) and 9.3.2(j) of the
Participation Agreement); provided, that before asserting its right to
indemnification, if any, pursuant to this Section 7, First Security shall first
demand its corresponding right to indemnification pursuant to Section 9 of the
Participation Agreement (but need not exhaust any or all remedies available
thereunder). The indemnities contained in this Section 7 extend to First
Security only in its individual capacity and shall not be construed as
indemnities of the Trust Indenture Estate or the Trust Estate (except to the
extent, if any, that First Security has been reimbursed by the Trust Indenture
Estate or the Trust Estate for amounts covered by the indemnities contained in
this Section 7). The indemnities contained in this Section 7 shall survive the
termination of this Trust Agreement. In addition, if necessary, First Security
shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust Estate, subject to the Lien
of the Trust Indenture, for any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty,
tax, claim, action, suit, cost, expense or disbursement indemnified against
pursuant to this Section 7 to the extent not reimbursed by Lessee, Owner
-16-
Participant or others, but without releasing any of them from their respective
agreements of reimbursement; and, to secure the same First Security shall have a
lien on the Trust Estate, subject to the lien of the Trust Indenture and subject
further to the provisions of Section 6.7, which shall be prior to any interest
therein of Owner Participant. The payor of any indemnity under this Section 7
shall be subrogated to any right of the person indemnified in respect of the
matter as to which such indemnity was paid.
SECTION 8. TRANSFER OF OWNER PARTICIPANT'S INTEREST
8.1 Transfer of Interest
All provisions of Section 10 of the Participation Agreement applicable to a
transfer by the Owner Participant shall (with the same force and effect as if
set forth in full in this Section 8.1) be applicable to any assignment,
conveyance or other transfer by Owner Participant of any of its right, title or
interest in and to the Participation Agreement, the Trust Estate or this Trust
Agreement. If there is more than one Owner Participant, no assignment,
conveyance or other transfer by an Owner Participant of any of its right, title
or interest in and to this Trust Agreement or the Trust Estate shall be valid
unless each other Owner Participant's prior written consent (which consent may
be withheld in the sole discretion of such other Owner Participant) is given to
such assignment, conveyance or other transfer.
8.2 Actions of Owner Participants
If at any time prior to the termination of this Trust Agreement there is
more than one Owner Participant, then, subject to Section 11.5, during such
time, if any action is required to be taken by all Owner Participants and
whenever any direction, authorization, approval, consent, instruction or other
action is permitted to be given or taken by Owner Participant, it shall be given
or taken only upon unanimous agreement of all Owner Participants; provided, that
the termination of this Trust Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2 may be effected
upon the election of any Owner Participant.

SECTION 9. SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES; CO-TRUSTEES
9.1 Resignation of Owner Trustee; Appointment of Successor
9.1.1 Resignation or Removal
Owner Trustee or any successor Owner Trustee (a) shall resign if required
to do so pursuant to Section 13.3 of the Participation Agreement or upon
obtaining Actual Knowledge of any facts that would cast doubt upon its
continuing status as a Citizen of the United States and (b) may resign at any
time without cause by giving at least 60 days prior written notice to Owner
Participant, Mortgagee and Lessee, such resignation to be effective upon the
assumption of the trusts hereunder by the successor Owner Trustee under Section
9.1.2. In addition, Owner Participant may at any time remove Owner Trustee, with
or without cause by a notice in writing delivered to Owner Trustee, Mortgagee
and Lessee, such removal to be effective upon the assumption of the trusts
hereunder by the successor Owner Trustee under Section 9.1.2, provided, that, in
the case of a removal without cause, unless a Lease Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, such removal shall be subject to the consent of
Lessee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). In the case of the
resignation or removal of Owner Trustee, Owner Participant may appoint a
successor Owner Trustee by an instrument signed by Owner Participant, with,
unless a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
consent of Lessee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If a
successor Owner Trustee shall not have been appointed within 30 days after such
notice of resignation or removal, Owner Trustee, any Owner Participant, Lessee
or Mortgagee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a
successor Owner Trustee to act until such time, if any, as a successor shall
have been appointed as above provided. Any successor Owner Trustee so appointed
by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any
successor Owner Trustee appointed as above provided within one year from the
date of the appointment by such court.
9.1.2 Execution and Delivery of Documents, Etc.
Any successor Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver
to the predecessor Owner Trustee, with a copy to Owner Participant, Lessee and
Mortgagee, an instrument accepting such appointment and assuming the obligations
of Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity and as Owner Trustee, under the
Owner Trustee Agreements, and thereupon such succes-
-18-
sor Owner Trustee, without further act, shall become vested with all the
estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and trusts of the predecessor Owner
Trustee in the trusts under this Trust Agreement with like effect as if
originally named Owner Trustee in this Trust Agreement; but nevertheless, upon
the written request of such successor Owner Trustee, such predecessor Owner
Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Owner Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties,
rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor Owner Trustee, and such
predecessor Owner Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to
such successor Owner Trustee all monies or other property then held by such
predecessor Owner Trustee upon the trusts herein expressed. Upon the appointment
of any successor Owner Trustee under this Section 9.1, the predecessor Owner
Trustee will execute such documents as are provided to it by such successor
Owner Trustee and will take such further actions as are requested of it by such
successor Owner Trustee as are required to cause registration of the Aircraft
included in the Trust Estate to be transferred upon the records of the FAA, or
other governmental authority having jurisdiction, into the name of the successor
Owner Trustee.
9.1.3 Qualifications
Any successor Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall be a Citizen of the
United States and shall also be a bank or trust company organized under the Laws
of the United States or any state thereof 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 Owner Trustee under this Trust
Agreement upon reasonable or customary terms. No such successor Owner Trustee
shall be located in a jurisdiction which creates material adverse consequences
for Lessee (unless such material adverse consequences would be created by
substantially all jurisdictions where major banking or trust institutions are
located).
9.1.4 Merger, Etc.
Any corporation into which First Security may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which First Security shall be a party, or any
corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust business of First
Security may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of Section 9.1.3, be
Owner Trustee under this
-19-
Trust Agreement without further act, provided, that such corporation shall not
also be the Mortgagee.
9.2 Co-Trustees and Separate Trustees
(a) If at any time it shall be necessary or prudent in order to conform to
any Law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Trust Estate is
located, or Owner Trustee being advised by counsel shall determine that it is so
necessary or prudent in the interest of Owner Participant or Owner Trustee, or
Owner Trustee shall have been directed to do so by Owner Participant, Owner
Trustee and Owner Participant shall execute and deliver an agreement
supplemental hereto and all other instruments and agreements necessary or proper
to constitute another bank or trust company or one or more persons (any or all
of which shall be a Citizen of the United States) approved by Owner Trustee and
Owner Participant, either to act as co-trustee, jointly with Owner Trustee, or
to act as separate trustee under this Trust Agreement (any such co-trustee or
separate trustee being herein sometimes referred to as an "additional trustee").
In the event Owner Participant shall not have joined in the execution of such
agreements supplemental hereto within 10 days after the receipt of a written
request from Owner Trustee so to do, or in case a Lease Event of Default or
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Owner Trustee may act under the
foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2 without the concurrence of Owner
Participant; and Owner Participant hereby appoints Owner Trustee its agent and
attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this Section
9.2 in either of such contingencies.
(b) Every additional trustee under this Trust Agreement shall, to the
extent permitted by Law, be appointed and act, and Owner Trustee and its
successors shall act, subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) All powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon Owner
Trustee in respect of the custody, control and management of monies, the
Aircraft or documents authorized to be delivered under this Trust Agreement
or under the Participation Agreement shall be exercised solely by Owner
Trustee;
(ii) All other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon Owner Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised
or performed by Owner Trustee and such additional trustee jointly, except
to the extent that under any Law of any jurisdiction in which any
-20-
particular act or acts are to be performed (including the holding of title
to the Trust Estate) Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations shall be exercised and performed by such additional trustee;
(iii) No power given to, or which it is provided hereby may be
exercised by, any such additional trustee shall be exercised under this
Trust Agreement by such additional trustee, except jointly with, or with
the consent in writing of, Owner Trustee;
(iv) No trustee under this Trust Agreement shall be personally liable
by reason of any action or omission of any other trustee under this Trust
Agreement;
(v) Owner Participant, at any time, by an instrument in writing may
remove any such additional trustee. In the event that Owner Participant
shall not have joined in the execution of any such instrument within ten
days after the receipt of a written request from Owner Trustee so to do,
Owner Trustee shall have the power to remove any such additional trustee
without the concurrence of Owner Participant; and Owner Participant hereby
appoints Owner Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to act for it in such
connection in such contingency; and
(vi) No appointment of, or action by, any additional trustee will
relieve Owner Trustee of any of its obligations under, or otherwise affect
any of the terms of, the Trust Indenture or affect the interests of
Mortgagee or the Note Holders in the Trust Indenture Estate.
(c) In case any separate trustee under this Section 9.2 shall die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the title to the Trust Estate and all
rights and duties of such separate trustee shall, so far as permitted by Law,
vest in and be exercised by Owner Trustee, without the appointment of a
successor to such separate trustee.
