HABENDUM CLAUSE
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD all and singular the aforesaid property
unto the Indenture Trustee, its successors and assigns, in trust for the
benefit and security of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders from time to
time, without any priority of any one Certificate over any other, and for the
uses and purposes and subject to the terms and provisions set forth in this
Agreement.
The Owner Trustee agrees that this Agreement is intended to
and shall create and grant a security interest in the Aircraft to the Indenture
Trustee, which security interest shall attach on the Delivery Date. The

Trustee hereunder in the Indenture Estate other than in the Aircraft shall
attach in the case of each other item of property included in the Indenture
Estate upon the delivery thereof or upon the Owner Trustee's acquiring rights
in such property.
It is expressly agreed that anything herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall remain liable under each of
the Operative Agreements to which it is a party, to perform all of the
obligations assumed by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to
the terms and provisions thereof, and the Indenture Trustee and the Holders
shall have no obligation or liability under any of the Operative Agreements to
which the Owner Trustee is a party by reason of or arising out of the
assignment hereunder, nor shall the Indenture Trustee or the Holders be
required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of
the Owner Trustee under any of the Operative Agreements to which the Owner
Trustee is a party, or, except as herein expressly provided, to make any
payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment
received by it, or present or file any claim, or take any action to collect or
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 Indenture Trustee
the true and lawful attorney of the Owner Trustee, irrevocably, with full power
(in the name of the Owner Trustee or otherwise) to ask, require, demand,
receive and, to the extent permitted by Article 8 hereof (if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing), give acquittance for any and
all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due to the Owner Trustee
(other than Excluded Payments) under or arising out of any Indenture Document
and all other property which now or hereafter constitutes part of the Indenture
Estate, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection
therewith and, to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings which the Indenture Trustee may deem to be necessary or advisable
in the premises. The Owner Trustee has directed the Company to

make all payments of Rent (other than Excluded Payments) payable to the Owner
Trustee by the Company and all other amounts which are required to be paid to
or deposited with the Owner Trustee pursuant to the Lease directly to the
Indenture Trustee at such address as the Indenture Trustee shall specify, for
application as provided in this Agreement. The Owner Trustee agrees that
promptly on receipt thereof, it will transfer to the Indenture Trustee any and
all moneys from time to time received by it constituting part of the Indenture
Estate, for distribution by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement,
except that the Owner Trustee shall accept for distribution pursuant to the
Trust Agreement any amounts distributed to it by the Indenture Trustee as
expressly provided in this Agreement and any Excluded Payments.
The Owner Trustee agrees that at any time and from time to
time, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, 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 Indenture
Trustee may reasonably deem desirable in obtaining 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 that it will not assign or
pledge, so long as the assignment hereunder shall remain in effect, any of its
right, title or interest hereby assigned, to anyone other than the Indenture
Trustee, and that it will not, except as provided in or permitted by this
Agreement, accept any payment from the Company, enter into an agreement
amending or supplementing any of the Operative Agreements, execute any waiver
or modification of, or consent under the terms of any of the Operative
Agreements, settle or compromise any claim (other than claims in respect of

SECTION 8.03. OTHER REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO INDENTURE
TRUSTEE. (a) After an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and
so long as such Indenture Event of Default shall be continuing, then and in
every such case the Indenture Trustee, as trustee of an express trust and as
assignee hereunder of the Lease or as holder of a security interest in the
Aircraft or Engines or otherwise, may, and when required pursuant to the
provisions of Article 9 shall, exercise, subject to Sections 8.03(b) and
8.03(e), any or all of the rights and powers and pursue any and all of the
remedies accorded to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 15 of the Lease and
this Article 8, may recover judgment in its own name as Indenture Trustee
against the Indenture Estate and may take possession of all or any part of the
Indenture Estate and may exclude the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant
and all Persons claiming under any of them wholly or partly therefrom. The
Indenture Trustee shall have and may exercise all of the rights and remedies of
a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any
applicable jurisdiction.
(b) After an Indenture Event of Default, subject to
Section 8.03(e), the Indenture Trustee may, if at the time such action may be
lawful and always subject to compliance with any mandatory legal requirements,
either with or without taking possession, and either before or after taking
possession, and without instituting any legal proceedings whatsoever, and
having first given notice of such sale to the Owner Trustee, the Owner
Participant and the Company at least 10 days prior to the date of such sale,
sell and dispose of the Indenture Estate, or any part thereof, or interest
therein, at public or private auction, in one lot as an entirety or in separate
lots, and either for cash or on credit and on such terms as the Indenture
Trustee may determine, and at any place (whether or not it be the location of
the Indenture Estate or any part thereof) and time designated in the notice
above referred to; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision herein
to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee may not provide the notice provided for
above of its intention to sell any of the Indenture Estate or exercise other
remedies against the Indenture Estate seeking to deprive the Owner Trustee or
the Owner Participant of its rights therein unless a declaration of
acceleration has been made pursuant to Section 8.02 or the Certificates have
otherwise theretofore become due and payable through redemption or otherwise.
Any such sale or sales may be adjourned from time to time by announcement at
the time and place appointed for such sale or sales, or for any such adjourned
sale or sales, without further notice, and the Indenture Trustee and the Holder
or Holders of any Certificates, or any interest therein, may bid and become the
purchaser at any such sale, and each Holder shall be entitled, at any such
sale, to credit against the purchase price bid thereby all or any part of the
unpaid obligations owing to such Holder and secured by the Lien of this
Agreement. The Indenture Trustee may exercise such right without possession or
production of the Certificates or proof of ownership thereof, and as
representative of the Holders may exercise such right without notice to the
Holders or including the Holders as parties to any suit or proceeding relating
to foreclosure of any property in the Indenture Estate. The Owner Trustee
hereby irrevocably constitutes the Indenture Trustee the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of the Owner Trustee (in the name of the Owner Trustee or
otherwise) for the purpose
TRUST INDENTURE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT [N620SW]
-34-
41
of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery for enforcement of
the Lien created under this Agreement, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power
of sale or otherwise, to execute and deliver all such bills of sale,
assignments and other instruments as the Indenture Trustee may consider
necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution, the Owner Trustee
hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any substitute shall
lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Indenture
Trustee or any purchaser, the Owner Trustee shall ratify and confirm any such
sale, assignment, transfer or delivery, by executing and delivering to the
Indenture Trustee 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.
(c) Subject to Sections 8.03(b) and 8.03(e), if an
Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Owner Trustee
shall, at the request of the Indenture Trustee, promptly execute and deliver to
the Indenture Trustee such instruments of title or other documents as the
Indenture Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to enable the Indenture
Trustee or an agent or representative designated by the Indenture Trustee, at
such time or times and place or places as the Indenture Trustee may specify, to
obtain possession of all or any part of the Indenture Estate. If the Owner
Trustee shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and
documents after such request by the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
shall be entitled to a judgment for specific performance of the covenants
contained in the foregoing sentence, conferring upon the Indenture Trustee the
right to immediate possession and requiring the Owner Trustee to execute and
deliver such instruments and documents to the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture
Trustee shall also be entitled to pursue all or any part of the Indenture
Estate wherever it may be found and may enter any of the premises of the Owner
Trustee or any other Person wherever the Indenture Estate may be or be supposed
to be and search for the Indenture Estate and take possession of any item of
the Indenture Estate pursuant to this Section 8.03(c). The Indenture Trustee
may, from time to time, at the expense of the Indenture Estate, make all such
expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements, alterations,
additions and improvements to and of the Indenture Estate, as it may deem
proper. In each such case, the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to use,
operate, store, lease, control or manage the Indenture Estate, and to exercise
all rights and powers of the Owner Trustee relating to the Indenture Estate as
the Indenture Trustee shall deem appropriate, including the right to enter into
any and all such agreements with respect to the use, operation, storage,
leasing, control or management of the Indenture Estate or any part thereof; and
the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all
tolls, rents (including Rent), issues, profits, products, revenues and other
income of the Indenture Estate and every part thereof, without prejudice,
however, to the right of the Indenture Trustee under any provision of this
Agreement to collect and receive all cash held by, or required to be deposited
with, the Indenture Trustee hereunder. In accordance with the terms of this
Section 8.03(c), such tolls, rents (including Rent), issues, profits, products,
revenues and other income shall be applied to pay the expenses of using,
operating, storing, leasing, controlling or managing the Indenture Estate, and
of all maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions
and improvements, and to make all payments which the Indenture Trustee may be
required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance or
other proper charges upon the Indenture Estate 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, to
the extent permitted by the Lease, the Company), and all other payments which
the Indenture Trustee may be required or authorized to make under any provision
of this Agreement, including this Section 8.03(c), as well as just and
reasonable compensation for the services of the Indenture Trustee, and of all
persons properly engaged and employed by the Indenture Trustee.

If an Indenture Event of Default occurs and is continuing and
the Indenture Trustee shall have obtained possession of or title to the
Aircraft, the Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to use or operate the
Aircraft or cause the Aircraft to be used or operated directly or indirectly by
itself or through agents or other representatives or to lease, license or
otherwise permit or provide for the use or operation of the Aircraft by any
other Person unless (i) the Indenture Trustee shall have been able to obtain
insurance in kinds, at rates and in amounts satisfactory to it in its
discretion to protect the Indenture Estate and the Indenture Trustee, as
trustee and individually, against any and all liability for loss or damage to
the Aircraft and for public liability and property damage resulting from use or
operation of the Aircraft and (ii) funds are available in the Indenture Estate
to pay for all such insurance or, in lieu of such insurance, the Indenture
Trustee is furnished with indemnification from the Holders or any other Person
upon terms and in amounts satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee in its
discretion to protect the Indenture Estate and the Indenture Trustee, as
trustee and individually, against any and all such liabilities.
(d) Subject to Sections 8.03(b) and 8.03(e), the
Indenture Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce this Agreement and the
Certificates by suit or suits or proceedings in equity, at law or in
bankruptcy, and whether for the specific performance of any covenant or
agreement herein contained or in execution or aid of any power herein granted
or for foreclosure hereunder, or for the appointment of a receiver or receivers
for the Indenture Estate or any part thereof, or for the recovery of judgment
for the indebtedness secured by the Lien created under this Agreement or for
the enforcement of any other power, legal or equitable remedy available under
applicable law.
(e) (i) If the Company shall fail to make any payment
of Basic Rent under the Lease and such failure shall have become a Lease Event
of Default then as long as no other Indenture Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing (other than those arising from a Lease Event of
Default), the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee may (but need not) pay to
the Indenture Trustee, at any time prior to the expiration of a period of ten
Business Days (the "10-Day Period") after such failure shall have become a
Lease Event of Default (prior to the expiration of which 10-Day Period the
Indenture Trustee shall not (without the prior written consent of the Owner
Trustee) exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies pursuant to Section 15
of the Lease or this Article 8), an amount equal to the full amount of such
payment of Basic Rent, together with any interest due thereon under the Lease
on account of the delayed payment thereof to the date of such payment, and such
payment by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to cure
any Indenture Event of Default which arose from such failure of the Company as
of such date of payment (but such cure shall not relieve the Company of any of
its obligations). If the Company shall fail to perform or observe any covenant,
condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it under the Lease (other
than its obligation to pay Basic Rent), and if (but only if) the performance or
observance thereof can be effected by the payment of money alone (it being
understood that actions such as the obtaining of insurance and the procurement
of maintenance services can be so effected), then as long as no other Indenture
Event of Default (other than those arising from a Lease Event of Default) shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee may
(but need not) pay to the Indenture Trustee (or to such other Person as may be
entitled to receive the same), at any time prior to the expiration of a period
of ten Business Days after the expiration of the grace period, if any, provided
with respect to such failure on the part of the Company in Section 14 of the
Lease (prior to the expiration of which 10-Day Period the Indenture Trustee
shall not (without the prior written consent of the Owner Trustee) exercise any
of the rights, powers or remedies pursuant to Section 15 of the Lease or this
Article 8), all sums necessary to effect the performance or observance of such
covenant
TRUST INDENTURE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT [N620SW]
-36-
43
or agreement of the Company, together with any interest due thereon under the
Lease on account of the delayed payment thereof to the date of such payment,
and such payment by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee shall be deemed
to cure any Indenture Event of Default which arose from such failure of the
Company as of such date of payment (but such cure shall not relieve the Company
of any of its obligations). If, on the basis specified in the preceding
sentences, any Lease Events of Default shall have been remedied, then any
declaration pursuant to this Indenture that the Certificates are due and
payable or that an Indenture Event of Default exists hereunder, based solely
upon such Lease Events of Default, shall be deemed to be rescinded, and, in the
case of the first and second sentences of this Section 8.03(e)(i), the Owner
Participant or the Owner Trustee shall (to the extent of any such payments made
by it) be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of the Certificates under
Section 3.03, to receive from the Indenture Trustee such payment of overdue
Basic Rent or other amount (and the payment of interest on account of such
Basic Rent or other amount being overdue) and shall be entitled, so long as no
other Indenture Event of Default or Indenture Default shall have occurred and
be continuing or would result therefrom, to receive, subject to the provisions
of this Indenture, such payment upon receipt thereof by the Indenture Trustee;
provided, that the Owner Participant shall not otherwise attempt to recover any
such amount paid by it on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Section
8.03(e)(i) except by demanding payment of such amount or by commencing an
action at law against the Company for the payment of such amount; and provided,
further, that:
(x) this Section 8.03(e)(i) shall not apply with respect
to any default in the payment of Basic Rent due under the Lease if the
Lessee itself shall have theretofore failed to pay Basic Rent in the
manner required under the Lease (after giving effect to any applicable
grace period) (i) due on each of the two Rent Payment Dates
immediately preceding the date of such default, or (ii) due on a total
of four Rent Payment Dates; and
(y) neither the Owner Trustee nor the Owner Participant
shall have the right to cure any Lease Event of Default except as
specified in this Section 8.03(e)(i).
(ii) In the event that (A) at any time one or more
Lease Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing for a period of
180 days during which the Holders or the Indenture Trustee shall not have been
stayed or otherwise precluded by operation of law from taking action to
accelerate the Certificates or to exercise remedies hereunder or under the
Lease or (B) the Certificates shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section
8.02, the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant may, at its option, give at
least 30 days' prior irrevocable notice to the Indenture Trustee that the Owner
Trustee or the Owner Participant will redeem (except subsequent to the
establishment of the Redemption Date in respect of the Certificates) or
purchase all Certificates then Outstanding on a date determined consistently
with the applicable provisions of Article 6 and, concurrently with such notice,
the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant will deposit with the Indenture
Trustee an amount sufficient to redeem (except subsequent to the establishment
of the Redemption Date in respect of the Certificates) or purchase at the
applicable Redemption Price determined in accordance with Article 6 all
Certificates then Outstanding (including, when applicable, an estimate of the
Premium to be paid on the Redemption Date computed using the Treasury Yield
determined as if the Redemption Date were the date of such notice) and to pay
the Indenture Trustee all amounts then due it hereunder, which funds shall be
held by the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 9.04. Subject to the
subsequent satisfaction by the Owner Trustee of its obligations pursuant to the
next following sentence, upon the giving of such notice and the receipt by the
Indenture Trustee of such deposit, the Indenture Trustee shall deem all
instructions received from the Owner Trustee as having been given by the
Holders of
TRUST INDENTURE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT [N620SW]
-37-
44
100% of the Outstanding principal amount of Certificates for all purposes of
this Indenture. If such notice is given, the Owner Trustee further agrees that
it will deposit or cause to be deposited with the Indenture Trustee, on or
prior to the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not an Indenture Event of
Default is then continuing, funds sufficient, when added to the funds already
held by the Indenture Trustee for such purpose, to redeem or purchase at the
applicable Redemption Price (including the Break Amount or Premium (if the
Redemption Price includes Premium) actually payable in respect thereof, if any,
and all other amounts payable to the Holders hereunder or under any other
Operative Agreement on such Redemption Date) all Certificates then Outstanding
and to pay the Indenture Trustee all amounts then due it hereunder.
(iii) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Indenture Trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any
remedy hereunder as a result of an Indenture Event of Default which arises
solely by reason of one or more events or circumstances which constitute a
Lease Event of Default unless the Indenture Trustee as security assignee of the
Owner Trustee shall have exercised or concurrently be exercising one or more of
the remedies provided for in Section 15 of the Lease with respect to the
Aircraft, provided, that the requirement to exercise such remedies under the
Lease shall not apply in circumstances where the Indenture Trustee is
involuntarily stayed or otherwise prohibited by applicable law or court order
from exercising such remedies under the Lease after the Section 1110 Period.
The "Section 1110 Period" shall mean the period commencing on the date of such
stay or prohibition and ending on the earlier of (x) the 60th day thereafter
(or such longer period (A) as may be specified in Section 1110(a)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code, (B) equal to the period of an extension with the consent of
the Indenture Trustee of the 60-day period specified therein pursuant to
Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, or (C) resulting from the Indenture
Trustee's own failure to give any requisite notice to any Person) and (y) the
date of repossession of the Aircraft. References in this sentence to
particular sections of the Bankruptcy Code as in effect on the date hereof
shall include any substantially similar successor provisions.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, including, without limitation, Sections 8.03(b), 8.03(c) and
8.03(d), as long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee shall take any
action in violation of the Company's rights under the Lease, including, without
limitation, (x) the right to receive all monies due and payable to it in
accordance with the provisions of the Lease and (y) the Company's rights to
possession and use of, and of quiet enjoyment of, the Aircraft.
(g) Each and every right, power and remedy herein given
to the Indenture Trustee specifically or otherwise in this Agreement 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 in
such order as may be deemed expedient by the Indenture Trustee, 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
Indenture Trustee in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in pursuing
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 the Company or to be
an acquiescence therein.
TRUST INDENTURE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT [N620SW]
-38-
45
SECTION 8.04. WAIVER OF OWNER TRUSTEE. To the extent now
or at any time hereafter enforceable under applicable law, the Owner Trustee
covenants that it will not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take any benefit or advantage of or from any law now or
hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the Indenture
Estate or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales thereof to be made
pursuant to any provision herein contained, or prior to any applicable decree,
judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after such sale
or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute now or hereafter made
or enacted by any state or otherwise to redeem the property so sold or any part
thereof, and hereby expressly waives for itself and on behalf of each and every
Person, except decree or judgment creditors of the Owner Trustee acquiring any
interest in or title to the Indenture Estate or any part thereof subsequent to
the date of this Agreement, all benefit and advantage of any such law or laws,
and covenants that it will not invoke or utilize any such law or laws, but will
suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law or
laws had been made or enacted. Nothing in this Section 8.04 shall be deemed to
be a waiver by the Owner Trustee of its rights under Section 8.03(e).
The Indenture Trustee may maintain such a pleading, or in any
manner whatsoever claim or take any benefit or advantage of or from any law now
or hereafter in force even if it does not possess any of the Certificates or
does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the
Indenture Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon
an Indenture Event of Default under this Agreement shall not impair the right
or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in such Indenture Event of
Default.
SECTION 8.05. WAIVER OF EXISTING DEFAULTS. The Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Certificates by
notice to the Indenture Trustee may waive on behalf of the Holders an existing
Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default and its consequences except (i)
an Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default in the payment of the
principal of or interest on any Certificate or (ii) in respect of a covenant or
provision hereof which pursuant to Section 11.02 cannot be amended or modified
without the consent of the Holder affected.
SECTION 8.06. CONTROL BY MAJORITY. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Certificates may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Indenture Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred
on it by this Agreement. However, the Indenture Trustee may refuse to follow
any direction that conflicts with law or this Agreement, that is unduly
prejudicial to the rights of the Holders so affected, or that would, without
satisfactory indemnity from the Holders, subject the Indenture Trustee to
personal liability.
SECTION 8.07. LIMITATION ON SUITS BY HOLDERS. A Holder of
a Certificate may pursue a remedy under this Agreement or thereunder only if:
(1) the Holder gives to the Indenture Trustee written
notice of a continuing Indenture Event of Default under this
Agreement;
(2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Certificates make a written request to the
Indenture Trustee to pursue the remedy;
TRUST INDENTURE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT [N620SW]
-39-
46
(3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Indenture Trustee
indemnity satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against any loss,
liability or expense to be, or which may be, incurred by the Indenture
Trustee in pursuing the remedy;
(4) the Indenture Trustee does not comply with the
request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of
indemnity; and
(5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Certificates do not
give the Indenture Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
A Holder may not use this Agreement to prejudice the rights of
another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.
SECTION 8.08. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement the right of any Holder
to receive payment of principal of, Premium or Break Amount, if any, and
interest on such Holder's Certificate on or after the respective due dates
expressed in such Certificate, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of such Holder.
SECTION 8.09. INDENTURE TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.
The Indenture Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Indenture Trustee and of the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings
relating to any obligor on the Certificates, its creditors, or its property.

ARTICLE 9
INDENTURE TRUSTEE
SECTION 9.01. DUTIES OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE.
(a) The Indenture Trustee will furnish to each
Certificate Holder promptly upon receipt thereof, duplicates or copies of all
reports, notices, requests, demands, certificates, financial statements and
other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee under any Operative
Agreement or received from the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01(vi) to
the extent the same shall not have been otherwise directly distributed to the
Holders pursuant to the express provision of any other Operative Agreement.
(b) Subject to the terms of Sections 8.03(e), 8.05, 8.06,
9.01(c), 11.02 and 11.06, upon the written instructions at any time and from
time to time of Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Certificates, the Indenture Trustee shall take such of the
following actions as may be specified in such instructions: (i) exercise such
election or option, or make such decision or determination, or give such
notice, consent, waiver or approval or exercise such right, remedy or power or
take such other action hereunder or under any other Operative Agreement or in
respect of any part or all of the Indenture Estate as shall be specified in
such instructions; (ii) take such action with respect to, or to preserve or
protect, the Indenture Estate (including the discharge of Liens) as shall be
specified in such instructions and as are consistent with this Indenture; and
(iii) take such other action in respect of the subject matter of this Indenture
as is consistent with the terms hereof and the other Indenture Documents. The
Indenture Trustee will execute and the Owner Trustee will file or cause to be
filed such continuation statements with respect to financing statements
relating to the security interest created hereunder in the Indenture Estate as
may be specified from time to time in written instructions of Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Certificates (which
instructions may, by their terms, be operative only at a future date and which
shall be accompanied by the execution form of such continuation statement so to
be filed).
(c) The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take
any action or refrain from taking any action under Section 8.06 or 9.01(b)
unless the Indenture Trustee shall have been indemnified by the Holders against
any liability, cost or expense (including counsel fees) which may be incurred
in connection therewith. The Indenture Trustee shall not be under any
obligation to take any action under this Agreement and nothing in this
Agreement contained shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its
own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties hereunder or in the exercise 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 Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action under
Section 8.06 or 9.01(b), nor shall any other provision of this Indenture be
deemed to impose a duty on the Indenture Trustee to take any action, if the
Indenture Trustee shall have been advised by counsel that such action is
contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to law.
(d) The Indenture Trustee 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 Indenture Estate, or
to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection

with, this Indenture or any part of the Indenture Estate, except as expressly
provided by the terms of this Indenture or as expressly provided in written
instructions from Holders as provided in this Indenture; and no implied duties
or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee.
(e) The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee 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 Indenture
Estate except (i) in accordance with the terms of the Lease or the
Participation Agreement, or (ii) in accordance with the powers granted or
reserved to, or the authority conferred upon, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and in accordance with the express
terms hereof.
(f) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.04, the
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received except
as otherwise provided in any other Operative Agreement. Money held in trust by
the Indenture Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to be
extent required by law.
SECTION 9.02. RIGHTS OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE. (a) The
Indenture Trustee may rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Indenture Trustee need
not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.
(b) Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from
acting, it may consult with counsel or require an Officer's Certificate or an
Opinion of Counsel from the Company or the Owner Trustee after which it will
take such action or refrain from acting as it deems appropriate. The Indenture
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith and in accordance herewith in reliance on a resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company, the written advice of counsel acceptable to the Owner
Trustee, the Company and the Indenture Trustee, officer's certificates or
opinions of counsel provided by the Company or the Owner Trustee.
(c) The Indenture Trustee may act through agents and
shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any such agent
appointed with due care; provided, that so long as no Indenture Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing no such agents shall be appointed
by the Indenture Trustee without the consent of the Company and the Owner
Trustee, which consent shall, in each case, not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be
authorized or within its rights or powers.
(e) If an Indenture Event of Default under this Agreement
has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise its rights
and powers under this Agreement, and shall use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
SECTION 9.03. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE
The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates and may otherwise deal with the Owner Trustee,
the Company or an Affiliate of the Owner Trustee or the
TRUST INDENTURE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT [N620SW]
-42-
49
Company or a subsidiary of the Owner Trustee or the Company with the same
rights it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee. Any Agent may do the
same with like rights.
SECTION 9.04. FUNDS MAY BE HELD BY INDENTURE TRUSTEE OR
PAYING AGENT; INVESTMENTS. Any monies (including without limitation for
purposes of this Section 9.04 Permitted Investments constituting the proceeds
of the maturity, sale or other disposition of any Permitted Investment) held by
the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent hereunder as part of the Indenture
Estate, until paid out by the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent as herein
provided, (i) subject to clause (ii) below, may be carried by the Indenture

SECTION 15.05. INCREASED COSTS, BREAK AMOUNT, ADDITIONAL
INTEREST, TAXES, ETC. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any
change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve
requirements which are provided for in subsection (c), below) after the
Delivery Date in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any
government or central bank or other governmental department, agency, board,
service or governmental body charged with responsibility for the administration
or interpretation thereof or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request
made after the Delivery Date by any government or central bank or other
governmental department, agency, board, service or other governmental body
(whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the
cost to, or any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of, any
Holder (or any of its Affiliates) of the Series SWA 1996 Trust N620SW-I
Certificate of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining the loan
evidenced by its Series SWA 1996 Trust N620SW-I Certificate in respect of (x)
any period as to which the applicable Debt Rate is determined by reference to
the LIBO Rate and (y) capital adequacy requirements, then the Owner Trustee
shall from time to time pay to such Holder such amount as shall be necessary to
reimburse such Holder for such increase in cost within 10 Business Days after
delivery to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Company of a
certificate of an officer of such Holder setting forth in reasonable detail the
event by reason of which it claims such increase in cost and the basis for the
determination of the amount of such increase in cost; provided, however, that
the Original Holder shall not be entitled to assert any claim under this
subsection 15.05(a) in respect of taxes (including Taxes (as defined in the
Participation Agreement) and the taxes referred to in subsections (d) and (e)
of this Section 15.05). Such certificate shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be binding and conclusive. Such Holder shall notify the Owner Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee and the Company as soon as possible of the occurrence of
any event by reason of which it is entitled to make a claim as described in
this subsection (a), but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
obligations of the Owner Trustee hereunder.
(b) In the event that any Holder of the Series SWA 1996
Trust N620SW-I Certificate incurs any Break Amount (as defined below) in
connection with any payment, prepayment, acceleration, redemption, refinancing
or purchase, in whole or in part, of the principal of its Series SWA 1996 Trust
N620SW-I Certificate in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or
otherwise on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period, then the
Owner Trustee shall pay to such Holder such Break Amount on the date of such
payment, prepayment, acceleration, redemption, refinancing or purchase, as the
case may be.
For the purposes hereof, "Break Amount" means an amount equal
to the net funding loss or additional expense which any Holder of a Series SWA
1996 Trust N620SW-I Certificate sustains or incurs or will sustain or incur as
a result of any payment, prepayment, acceleration, redemption, refinancing or
purchase (whether by mandatory or voluntary prepayment, optional purchase,
acceleration or otherwise) of any principal of its Series SWA 1996 Trust
N620SW-I Certificate on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period,
as reasonably determined by such Holder and set forth in a certificate of such
Holder which includes in reasonable detail the basis or the calculations of the
amount being claimed.
(c) The Owner Trustee agrees to pay to any Holder of a
Series SWA 1996 Trust N620SW-I Certificate, to the extent that such Holder
shall require, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change after the
Delivery Date in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by the
Federal Reserve Board (or any governmental authority succeeding thereto) or
(ii) compliance with any guideline or request made after the Delivery Date by
the Federal Reserve Board (whether or not having
TRUST INDENTURE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT [N620SW]
-61-

the force of law), to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets
consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the
unpaid principal amount of the loan evidenced by its Series SWA 1996 Trust
N620SW-I Certificate, in respect of any period to which such reserve
maintenance requirement is so applicable and the applicable Debt Rate is
determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, in an amount as to any such period
equal to the amount obtained by applying to the outstanding principal amount of
such loan during such period an interest rate equal at all times to the
remainder obtained by subtracting (A) the applicable LIBO Rate from (B) the
rate obtained by dividing such LIBO Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus
the Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage, if any, applicable from time to time to
such Holder. Such additional interest shall be paid by the Owner Trustee to any
Holder of a Series SWA 1996 Trust N620SW-I Certificate from time to time as and
when interest is payable under such Holder's Certificate, subject to receipt of
notice of the amount of such additional interest for such Holder.
(d) Should any Holder of a Series SWA 1996 Trust N620SW-I
Certificate fail to qualify for a complete exemption from withholding of United
States Federal income tax because of a change in the provisions of the Code or
other relevant laws from those in effect on the Delivery Date, and the
Indenture Trustee is required by law to deduct or withhold United States
Federal income tax from amounts paid to such Holder, the amounts payable
hereunder and under its Series SWA 1996 Trust N620SW-I Certificate shall be
increased as may be necessary so that, after all required deductions and
withholdings for United States Federal income tax resulting from any such
change in the Code, such Holder receives an amount equal to the excess of (i)

(e) Each Holder of a Series SWA 1996 Trust N620SW-I
Certificate by its acceptance of such Series SWA 1996 Trust N620SW-I
Certificate, agrees that it will, promptly after it becomes aware of any event
or the existence of a condition that would give rise to reimbursement or
payment pursuant to subsection 15.05(a), 15.05(c) or 15.05(d) or to increased
payment hereunder and under the Series SWA 1996 Trust N620SW-I Certificate

otherwise be required to be made would be materially reduced and if, as
determined by such Holder in its reasonable discretion the making, funding or
maintaining of such loan through such different Lending Office would not
otherwise adversely affect such loan or such Holder. Each Holder agrees that it
will consult with the Owner Trustee in connection with any relocation of its
Lending Office. The Owner Trustee hereby agrees to pay all reasonable expenses
incurred by each such Holder in considering or taking action pursuant to this
subsection (e).

Certificate shall be deemed to be paid by virtue thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment made on this

principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on, and any other amounts
due under this Certificate or as provided for in the Trust Indenture and
Security Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1996 relating to the Aircraft (such

Original Holder on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of
days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the
period for which such interest is payable.

shall not constitute an obligation to pay nor shall the Bank be entitled
hereunder to collect any amount of interest to the extent not permitted by

Period shall commence on the last day of the preceding Interest Period;
(iii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is

would cause the last day of such Interest Period to occur in the next
following calendar month, the last day of such Interest Period shall
occur on the next preceding Business Day; (iv) whenever the first day
of any Interest Period occurs on a day of an initial calendar month for
which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month
that succeeds such initial calendar month by the number of months equal
to the number of months in such Interest Period, such Interest Period
shall end on the last Business Day of such succeeding calendar month;

Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period.
"Overnight Rate" shall mean, as to any Interest Period, the
rate at which deposits in U.S. dollars in same day funds would be

referred to in Section 3.03 of the Indenture and only to the extent that the
Indenture Trustee shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Indenture

always to the terms and provisions of the Indenture, to accelerate the maturity
of this Certificate upon an Indenture Event of Default, to bring suit and
obtain a judgment against the Owner Trustee on this Certificate for purposes of
realizing upon the Indenture Estate and to exercise all rights and remedies
provided under the Indenture or otherwise realized upon the Indenture Estate.

other amounts due hereunder shall be payable in United States currency in
immediately available funds pursuant to
A-4
74
Section 15.04 of the Indenture. Each such payment shall be made on the date

capacity, but solely as owner trustee (the "Owner Trustee") under that certain
Trust Agreement dated as of June 1, 1996, between the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity and the institution referred to therein as the "Owner

value received, hereby promises to pay to ________________ or registered

defined terms therein not otherwise defined herein being used herein with the
same meanings), by and among the Owner Trustee and Wilmington Trust Company, as
Indenture Trustee thereunder, shall be made only from the income and proceeds
of the Indenture Estate and the other amounts referred to in Section 3.03 of
the Indenture. Each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Certificate,
agrees that (a) it will look solely to the income and proceeds of the Indenture
Estate and the other amounts referred to in Section 3.03 of the Indenture for
payment of such amounts, to the extent available for distribution to the Holder
hereof as provided in the Indenture and (b) neither the Owner Trustee, the
Owner Participant nor the Indenture
79
Trustee is or shall be personally liable to the Holder hereof for any amount
payable hereunder or under the Indenture or, except as provided in the

extent permitted by law, bear interest from the due date thereof until the date

the Maturity Date hereof) so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for,

case may be, will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose
name this Certificate (or one or more predecessor Certificates) is registered
at the close of business on the Record Date for payment of such interest or
Installment Payment Amount, which shall be the fifteenth day (whether or not a

Date, as the case may be. Any such interest or Installment Payment Amount not
so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to
the registered Holder hereof on such Record Date (or to the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered upon issuance) and may be paid to the
Person in whose name this Certificate (or one or more predecessor Certificates)
is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment
of such Defaulted Installment or Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Indenture Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Certificates
entitled thereto not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or
may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the Certificates may be
listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more
fully provided in the Indenture.
Payment of the principal of, Premium, if any, and interest on this
Certificate will be made at the principal corporate trust office of the
Indenture Trustee, or the office or agency maintained by the Indenture Trustee
for such purpose, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as
at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts;
provided, however, that payment of interest and Installment Payments Amounts
(other than that payable on the Maturity Date hereof) may be made at the option
of the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent by check mailed on or before the
due date to the address of the Holder entitled thereto as such address shall
appear on the Register.
This Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless this Certificate has
been executed on behalf of the Owner Trustee by the manual or facsimile
signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, and authenticated by
the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of an authorized officer or
signatory of the Indenture Trustee, in each case as specified in Section 2.02
of the Indenture.

thereto (a copy of which is on file with the Indenture Trustee at its principal
corporate trust office) for a more complete statement of the terms and
provisions thereof, including a statement of the properties thereby conveyed,
pledged and assigned, the nature and extent of the security, the respective
rights thereunder of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders
of the Certificates, the terms upon which the
A-1-2

Certificates are, and are to be, executed and delivered, the terms upon which
the Certificates may be redeemed, as well as for a statement of the terms and
conditions of the trust created by the Indenture, to all of which terms and
conditions in the Indenture each Holder hereof agrees by its acceptance of this
Certificate.
On each Installment Payment Date, the Holder hereof will receive a
payment of principal equal to the Installment Payment Percentage for such
Installment Payment Date multiplied by the initial principal amount of this
Certificate which is set forth herein.

As more fully provided in the Indenture, the Certificates are subject
to redemption on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice by mail, under
the circumstances set forth in the Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to
the unpaid principal amount thereof, Premium, if any, plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date.
If an Indenture Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
principal amount remaining unpaid of the Certificates may be declared due and
payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If, and
only if, such an Indenture Event of Default constitutes a Lease Event of
Default by the Company under the Lease, the Indenture Trustee may, to the
exclusion of the Owner Trustee, exercise one or more of the remedies of the
Owner Trustee provided in the Lease. Such remedies include (but are not limited
to) the right to repossess and use or operate the Aircraft, to sell or relet
the Aircraft free and clear of the Company's rights and retain the proceeds and
to require the Company to pay as liquidated damages (i) any unpaid Basic Rent
plus an amount equal to the excess of the Stipulated Loss Value of the Aircraft
over the aggregate fair market rental value thereof for the remainder of the
term for the Aircraft, (ii) any unpaid Basic Rent plus the excess of the
Stipulated Loss Value of the Aircraft over the fair market sales value thereof
or (iii) if the Aircraft has been sold, any unpaid Basic Rent plus the excess
of the Stipulated Loss Value thereof over the net sales proceeds.
By acceptance of this Certificate, the Holder hereof agrees to be
bound by the provisions of the Participation Agreement applicable to Holders.
The Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant may cure any default by the
Company under the Lease arising from the failure of the Company to make any
payment of Basic Rent under the Lease, provided, that such failure of the
Company is not the third consecutive such failure, or the fifth or subsequent
cumulative such failure. The Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant may (but
need not) cure any other default by the Company in the performance of its
obligations under the Lease which can
A-1-3
81
be cured by the payment of money, by making such payment on behalf of the
Company, subject, however, to certain limitations.
The right of the Holder of this Certificate to institute action for
any remedy under the Indenture, including the enforcement of payment of any
amount due hereon, is subject to certain restrictions specified in the
Indenture.
The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee will be discharged from
their respective obligations in respect of the Certificates (except for certain
matters, including obligations to register the transfer or exchange of
Certificates, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Certificates, maintain paying
agencies and hold money for payment in trust), and the Indenture Trustee may
thereupon cause the release of the Indenture Estate from the lien of the
Indenture, if (a) the Owner Trustee deposits or causes to be deposited
irrevocably with the Indenture Trustee, in trust, money or Government
Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount
sufficient to pay principal of, Premium, if any, and interest on the
Outstanding Certificates on the dates such payments are due in accordance with
the terms of such Certificates and (b) certain other conditions are satisfied,
including the publication by the United States Internal Revenue Service of a
ruling to the effect that the deposit and related defeasance would not cause
the Holders of the Certificates to recognize income, gain or loss for Federal
income tax purposes.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, this Certificate is transferable, and upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the principal corporate trust
office of the Registrar, or at the office or agency maintained for such
purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder or his
attorney duly authorized in writing, one or more new Certificates of the same
maturity and type and of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates. The
Certificates are issuable in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples
thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of Certificates of the same maturity and type and of authorized
denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same, upon
presentation thereof for such purpose at the principal corporate trust office
of the Registrar, or at an office or agency maintained for such purpose.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, the
Registrar, the Owner Participant and the Company may deem and treat the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered as the absolute owner hereof for
the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of and interest on this
Certificate and for all other purposes whatsoever whether or not this
Certificate be overdue, and neither the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee,

affected by notice to the contrary.

under the Trust Indenture and Security Agreement dated as of June 1, 1996, as
supplemented (as amended or supplemented from time to time referred to herein
as the "Indenture", the defined terms therein not otherwise defined herein
being used herein with the same meanings), by and among the Owner Trustee and
Wilmington Trust Company, as Indenture Trustee thereunder, shall be made only
from the income and proceeds of the Indenture Estate and the other amounts
referred to in Section 3.03 of the Indenture. Each Holder hereof, by its
acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that (a) it will look solely to the
income and proceeds of the Indenture Estate and the other amounts referred to
in Section 3.03 of the Indenture for payment of such amounts, to the extent
available for distribution to the Holder hereof as provided in the Indenture
and (b) neither the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant nor the Indenture

Any amount of interest or principal payable hereunder which is
not paid when due shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, bear interest
from the due date thereof until the date of payment at an interest rate equal
to the interest rate specified above plus 2% per annum. Any other amounts
payable to the Holder hereof hereunder (including, without limitation, Premium)
or under the Indenture which is not paid when due shall bear interest from the
due date thereof, until the date of payment at an interest rate equal to the
Overdue Rate. All computations of interest hereunder shall be calculated on
the basis of a year of twelve 30-day months.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided
for, on the applicable Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Certificate (or one or more
predecessor Certificates) is registered at the close of business on the Record
Date for payment of such interest, which shall be the fifteenth day (whether or
not a Business Day) next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such
interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to
be payable to the registered Holder hereof on the such Record Date (or to the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered upon issuance) and may be
paid to the Person in whose name this Certificate (or one or more predecessor
Certificates) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date
for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Indenture
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Certificates entitled
thereto not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid
at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements
of any securities exchange on which the Certificates may be listed, and upon
such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in
the Indenture.
Payment of the principal of, Premium, if any, and interest on
this Certificate will be made at the principal corporate trust office of the
Indenture Trustee, or the office or agency maintained by the Indenture Trustee
for such purpose, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as
at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts;
provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the
Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent by check mailed on or before the due date
to the address of the Holder entitled thereto as such address shall appear on
the Register.
This Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under
the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless this Certificate
has been executed on behalf of the Owner Trustee by the manual or facsimile
signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, and authenticated by
the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of an authorized officer or
signatory of the Indenture Trustee, in each case as specified in Section 2.02
of the Indenture.
Reference is made to the Indenture and all supplements and
amendments thereto (a copy of which is on file with the Indenture Trustee at
its principal corporate trust office) for a more complete statement of the
terms and provisions thereof, including a statement of the properties thereby
conveyed, pledged and assigned, the nature and extent of the security, the
respective rights thereunder of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and
the Holders of the Certificates, the terms upon which the Certificates are, and
are to be, executed and delivered, the terms upon which the Certificates may be
redeemed, as well as for a statement of the terms and conditions of the trust
created by the Indenture, to all of which terms and conditions in the Indenture
each Holder hereof agrees by its acceptance of this Certificate.
As more fully provided in the Indenture, the Certificates are
subject to redemption on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice by
mail, under the circumstances set forth in the
A-2-2
87
Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to the unpaid principal amount thereof,
Premium, if any, plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date.
If an Indenture Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of the Certificates may be declared due and payable
in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If, and only if,
such an Indenture Event of Default constitutes a Lease Event of Default by the
Company under the Lease, the Indenture Trustee may, to the exclusion of the
Owner Trustee, exercise one or more of the remedies of the Owner Trustee
provided in the Lease. Such remedies include (but are not limited to) the right
to repossess and use or operate the Aircraft, to sell or relet the Aircraft
free and clear of the Company's rights and retain the proceeds and to require
the Company to pay as liquidated damages (i) any unpaid Basic Rent plus an
amount equal to the excess of the Stipulated Loss Value of the Aircraft over
the aggregate fair market rental value thereof for the remainder of the term
for the Aircraft, (ii) any unpaid Basic Rent plus the excess of the Stipulated
Loss Value of the Aircraft over the fair market sales value thereof or (iii) if
the Aircraft has been sold, any unpaid Basic Rent plus the excess of the
Stipulated Loss Value thereof over the net sales proceeds.
The Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant may cure any
default by the Company under the Lease arising from the failure of the Company
to make any payment of Basic Rent under the Lease, provided, that such failure
of the Company is not the third consecutive such failure, or the fifth or
subsequent cumulative such failure. The Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant
may (but need not) cure any other default by the Company in the performance of
its obligations under the Lease which can be cured by the payment of money, by
making such payment on behalf of the Company, subject, however, to certain
limitations.
The right of the Holder of this Certificate to institute
action for any remedy under the Indenture, including the enforcement of payment
of any amount due hereon, is subject to certain restrictions specified in the
Indenture.
By acceptance of this Certificate, the Holder hereof agrees to
be bound by the provisions of the Participation Agreement applicable to
Holders.
The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee will be discharged
from their respective obligations in respect of the Certificates (except for
certain matters, including obligations to register the transfer or exchange of
Certificates, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Certificates, maintain paying
agencies and hold money for payment in trust), and the Indenture Trustee may
thereupon cause the release of the Indenture Estate from the lien of the
Indenture, if (a) the Owner Trustee deposits or causes to be deposited
irrevocably with the Indenture Trustee, in trust, money or Government
Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount
sufficient to pay principal of, Premium, if any, and interest on the
Outstanding Certificates on the dates such payments are due in accordance with
the terms of such Certificates and (b) certain other conditions are satisfied,
including the publication by the United States Internal Revenue Service of a
ruling to the effect that the deposit and related defeasance would not cause
the Holders of the Certificates to recognize income, gain or loss for Federal
income tax purposes.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is transferable, and upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the principal
corporate trust office of the Registrar, or at the office or agency maintained
for such purpose,
A-2-3
88
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, one or more new Certificates of the same maturity and
type and of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal
amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates.
The Certificates are issuable in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples
thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of Certificates of the same maturity and type and of authorized
denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same, upon
presentation thereof for such purpose at the principal corporate trust office
of the Registrar, or at an office or agency maintained for such purpose.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, the
Registrar, the Owner Participant and the Company may deem and treat the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered as the absolute owner hereof for
the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of and interest on this
Certificate and for all other purposes whatsoever whether or not this
Certificate be overdue, and neither the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee,
the Paying Agent, the Registrar, the Owner Participant nor the Company shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THE INDENTURE AND THIS
CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
