that was conveyed to it and that the Aircraft shall, on the Delivery Date and
during the Term, be free of Lessor Liens attributable to First Security or (b)
any representation or warranty as to the validity, legality or enforceability of
this Trust Agreement or any other Operative Agreement to which First Security,

document or instrument, or as to the correctness of any statement contained in
any thereof except to the extent that any such statement is expressly made
herein or therein by such party as a representation by First Security, in its
individual capacity or as Owner Trustee, as the case may be, and except that
First Security hereby represents and warrants that it has all corporate power
and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Trust Agreement and that this
Trust Agreement has been, and (assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by Owner Participant of this Trust Agreement) the other Operative
Agreements to which it or Owner Trustee is a party have been (or at the time of
execution and delivery of any such instrument by it or Owner Trustee under this
Trust Agreement or pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement that
such an instrument will be) duly executed and delivered by one of its officers
who is or will be, as the case may be, duly authorized to execute and deliver
such instruments on behalf of itself or Owner Trustee, as the case may be, and

certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of Lessee as duly adopted
and in full force and effect, as conclusive evidence that such resolution has
been duly adopted by said Board of Directors or Executive Committee and that the
same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the manner of

rely on a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President, any
Vice President or any other officer of Lessee, and the Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of Lessee, as to such fact
or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to Owner
Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
reliance thereon and in accordance therewith. In the administration of trusts
under this Trust Agreement, Owner Trustee may execute any of the trusts or
powers and perform its powers and duties under this Trust Agreement directly or
through agents or attorneys and may, at the expense of the Trust Estate, consult
with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and employed
by it. Owner Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted
in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such

provided in this Trust Agreement or in the other Operative Agreements to which
it is a party; and, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Trust
Agreement, the Lease, the Participation Agreement and the Trust Indenture, all
persons, other than the Owner Participant as provided in this Trust Agreement or
the Trust Indenture, having any claim against Owner Trustee by reason of the

fees of Owner Trustee throughout the Term pursuant to Section 9.2 of the

obligations of Owner Participant under Sections 5.3 and 7; PROVIDED, that Owner
Trustee shall have a Lien upon the Trust Estate for any such fee not paid by
Airframe Manufacturer as contemplated by Section 9.2 of the Participation
Agreement and such Lien shall 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 not exercise, any rights or remedies Owner Trustee may
have with respect to such Lien unless and until the Secured Obligations have
been paid and performed in full.

Owner Trustee shall be responsible for the keeping of all appropriate
books and records relating to the receipt and disbursement of all monies under
this Trust Agreement or any agreement contemplated hereby. Owner Participant

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

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 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
Claims 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
other 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 claims
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 paragraph Sections
9.1.2(b) and 9.3.2(j)); 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
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 shall
(with the same force and effect as if set forth in full in this Section 8.1) be

of any of its right, title or interest in and to the Participation Agreement,
the Trust Estate or this Trust Agreement.
SECTION 9. SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES; CO-TRUSTEES
9.1 Resignation of Owner Trustee; Appointment of Successor
9.1.1 Resignation or Removal

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 successor 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 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 ten days after the
receipt of a written request from Owner Trustee so to do, or in case a Lease
Event of Default or Indenture 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
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.

foregoing, if legislation shall become effective providing for the validity of
