attached), and executed copies of the Participation Agreement, and the
Purchase Agreement Assignment with the Consent and Agreement attached thereto.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD all and singular the aforesaid property unto the
Indenture Trustee, and its successors and assigns, in trust for the benefit
and security of the Certificate Holders, except as provided in Section 2.15
and Article III hereof without any preference, distinction or priority of any
one Secured Certificate over any other by reason of priority of time of
issue, sale, negotiation, date of maturity thereof or otherwise for any
reason whatsoever, and for the uses and purposes and in all cases and as to
all property specified in paragraphs (1) through (9) inclusive above, subject
to the terms and provisions set forth in this Trust Indenture.
It is expressly agreed that anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall remain liable under each of the
Indenture Agreements to which it is a party to perform all of the obligations
assumed by it thereunder, except to the extent prohibited or excluded from
doing so pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof, and the Indenture
Trustee and the Certificate Holders shall have no obligation or liability
under the Indenture Agreements, by reason of or arising out of the assignment
hereunder, nor shall the
-3-
Indenture Trustee or the Certificate Holders be required or obligated in any
manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of the Owner Trustee under or
pursuant to any of the Indenture Agreements to which it 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, granted for good and
valuable consideration and coupled with an interest and with full power of
substitution, and with full power (in the name of the Owner Trustee or
otherwise) to ask for, require, demand, receive, compound and give
acquittance for any and all monies and claims for monies (in each case
including insurance and requisition proceeds but in all cases excluding
Excluded Payments) due and to become due under or arising out of the
Indenture Agreements, and all other property which now or hereafter
constitutes part of the Trust Indenture Estate, to endorse any checks or
other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or
to take any action or to institute any proceedings which the Indenture
Trustee may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the rights of the
Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant hereunder, during the continuance of
any Event of Default under this Trust Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall
have the right under such power of attorney to accept any offer in connection
with the exercise of remedies as set forth herein of any purchaser to
purchase the Airframe and Engines and upon such purchase to execute and
deliver in the name of and on behalf of the Owner Trustee an appropriate xxxx
of sale and other instruments of transfer relating to the Airframe and
Engines, when purchased by such purchaser, and to perform all other necessary
or appropriate acts with respect to any such purchase, and in its discretion
to file any claim or take any other action or proceedings, either in its own
name or in the name of the Owner Trustee or otherwise, which the Indenture
Trustee may deem necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the right,
title and interest of the Indenture Trustee in and to such Rents and other
sums and the security intended to be afforded hereby; provided, however, that
no action of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this paragraph shall increase
the obligations or liabilities of the Owner Trustee to any Person beyond
those obligations and liabilities specifically set forth in this Trust
Indenture and in the other Operative Documents. Under the Lease, Lessee is
directed, so long as this Trust Indenture shall not have been fully
discharged, to make all payments of Rent (other than Excluded Payments) and
all other amounts which are required to be paid to or deposited with the
Owner Trustee pursuant to the Lease (other than Excluded Payments) directly
to, or as directed by, the Indenture Trustee at such address or addresses as
the Indenture Trustee shall specify, for application as provided in this
Trust Indenture. The Owner Trustee agrees that promptly upon receipt
thereof, it will transfer to the Indenture Trustee any and all monies from
time to time received by it constituting part of the Trust Indenture Estate,
for distribution by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Trust Indenture,
except that the Owner Trustee shall accept for distribution pursuant to the
Trust Agreement any amounts distributed to it by the Indenture Trustee under
this Trust Indenture.
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
-4-
the Indenture Trustee may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to perfect,
preserve or protect the mortgage, security interests and assignments created
or intended to be created hereby or to obtain for the Indenture Trustee the
full benefits of the assignment hereunder and of the rights and powers herein
granted. The parties hereto acknowledge that neither the Owner Trustee nor
the Owner Participant shall have any obligation as to any recording, filing,
refiling or re-recording of any documents or instruments in regard to
maintaining the perfection of the security interests created hereunder, in
the Trust Indenture Estate or any security interest that may be claimed to
have been created by the Lease or the ownership interest of the Owner Trustee
in the Aircraft.
The Owner Trustee does hereby warrant and represent that it has not
assigned or pledged, and hereby covenants and agrees that it will not assign
or pledge, so long as the assignment hereunder shall remain in effect, and
the Lien hereof shall not have been released pursuant to Section 10.01
hereof, any of its right, title or interest hereby assigned, to anyone other
than the Indenture Trustee and its predecessor(s) in this transaction, and
that it will not, except as otherwise provided in this Trust Indenture and
except with respect to Excluded Payments to which it is entitled, (i) accept
any payment from Lessee under any Indenture Agreement, (ii) enter into any
agreement amending or supplementing any Indenture Agreement, (iii) execute
any waiver or modification of, or consent under, the terms of, or exercise
any rights, powers or privileges under, any Indenture Agreement, (iv) settle
or compromise any claim (other than those relating to an Excluded Payment)
arising under any Indenture Agreement or (v) submit or consent to the
submission of any dispute, difference or other matter arising under or in
respect of any Indenture Agreement to arbitration thereunder.
The Owner Trustee does hereby further agree that it will not without the
written consent of the Indenture Trustee:
(a) collect or agree to the receipt or collection
of any payment of Rent (other than Excluded Payments),
including Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value, Termination
Value or any other payment to be made pursuant to Section
9 or 10 of the Lease prior to the date for the payment
thereof provided for by the Lease or assign, transfer or
hypothecate (other than to the Indenture Trustee
hereunder) any payment of Rent, including Basic Rent,
Stipulated Loss Value, Termination Value or any other
payment to be made pursuant to Section 9 or 10 of the
Lease, then due or to accrue in the future under the
Lease in respect of the Airframe and Engines; or
(b) except as contemplated by the Trust Agreement
in connection with the appointment of a successor owner
trustee, sell, mortgage, transfer, assign or hypothecate
(other than to the Indenture Trustee hereunder) its
interest in the Airframe and Engines or any part thereof
or in any amount to be received by it from the use or
disposition of the Airframe and Engines, other than
amounts distributed to it pursuant to Article III hereof.
It is hereby further agreed that any and all property described or
referred to in the granting clauses hereof which is hereafter acquired by the
Owner Trustee shall ipso facto, and without any further conveyance,
assignment or act on the part of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee,
become and be subject to the Lien herein granted as fully and completely as
-5-
though specifically described herein, but nothing contained in this paragraph
shall be deemed to modify or change the obligations of the Owner Trustee
contained in the foregoing paragraphs.
The Owner Trustee does hereby ratify and confirm the Lease and does
hereby agree that it will not violate any covenant or agreement made by it
therein, herein or in any of the other Owner Trustee Documents.
Notwithstanding the Granting Clause or any of the foregoing paragraphs,
there is hereby excluded from the foregoing sale, transfer, assignment,
grant, pledge and security interest all Excluded Payments.

FIRST SECURITY BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, not in its individual
capacity but solely as Owner Trustee (herein in such capacity called the
"Owner Trustee") under that certain Trust Agreement [NW 1997 G], dated as of
September 25, 1997, between the Owner Participant named therein and the Owner
Trustee (herein as such Trust Agreement may be supplemented or amended from
time to time called the "Trust Agreement"), hereby promises to pay to
___________, or the registered assignee thereof, the principal sum of
$_________ (the "Principal Amount"), together with interest on the amount of
the Principal Amount remaining unpaid from time to time (calculated on the
basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months) from the date
hereof until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate
indicated above. The Principal Amount of this Secured Certificate shall be
payable in installments on the dates set forth in Schedule I hereto equal to
the corresponding percentage of the Principal Amount of this Secured
Certificate set forth in Schedule I hereto. Accrued but unpaid interest
shall be due and payable in semi-annual installments commencing January 2,
1998, and thereafter on July 2 and January 2 of each year, to and including
_______, _____. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment made on
this Secured Certificate shall be in an amount sufficient to discharge in
full the unpaid Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on, and
any other amounts due under, this Secured Certificate. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if any date on which a payment
under this Secured Certificate becomes due and payable is not a Business Day
then such payment shall not be made on such scheduled date but shall be made
on the next succeeding Business Day and if such payment is made on such next
succeeding Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount of such
payment during such extension.
For purposes hereof, the term "Trust Indenture" means the Trust
Indenture and Security Agreement [NW 1997 G], dated as of September 25, 1997,
between the Owner Trustee and State Street Bank and Trust Company (the
"Indenture Trustee"), as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to
time. All other capitalized terms used in this Secured Certificate and not
defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned in the Trust
Indenture.
This Secured Certificate shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the
Past Due Rate (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of
twelve 30-day months) on any overdue Principal Amount, any overdue Make-Whole
Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue
interest and any other amounts payable hereunder which are overdue, in each
case for the period the same is overdue. Amounts shall be overdue if not
paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise).
All payments of Principal Amount, interest, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
and other amounts, if any, to be made by the Owner Trustee hereunder and
under the Trust Indenture or the Participation Agreement shall be payable
only from the income and proceeds from the Trust Estate to the extent
included in the Trust Indenture Estate and only to the extent that the
-7-
Owner Trustee shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Estate
to the extent included in the Trust Indenture Estate to enable the Indenture
Trustee to make such payments in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03
and Article III of the Trust Indenture and each holder hereof, by its
acceptance of this Secured Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to
the income and proceeds from the Trust Indenture Estate to the extent
available for distribution to the holder hereof as above provided and that
none of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee is
personally liable or liable in any manner extending to any assets other than
the Trust Indenture Estate to the holder hereof for any amounts payable or
any liability under this Secured Certificate or, except as provided in the
Trust Indenture or in the Participation Agreement, for any liability under
the Trust Indenture or the Participation Agreement; provided, however, that
nothing herein contained shall limit, restrict or impair the right of the
Indenture Trustee, subject always to the terms and provisions of the Trust
Indenture, to accelerate the maturity of this Secured Certificate upon
occurrence of an Event of Default under the Trust Indenture in accordance
with Section 4.04(b) of the Trust Indenture, to bring suit and obtain a
judgment against the Owner Trustee on this Secured Certificate for purposes
of realizing upon the Trust Indenture Estate and to exercise all rights and
remedies provided under the Trust Indenture or otherwise realize upon the
Trust Indenture Estate.
There shall be maintained a Secured Certificate Register for the purpose
of registering transfers and exchanges of Secured Certificates at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or at the office of any
successor in the manner provided in Section 2.07 of the Trust Indenture.
The Principal Amount and interest and other amounts due hereunder shall
be payable in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Indenture Trustee, or as otherwise provided in the Trust
Indenture. Each such payment shall be made on the date such payment is due
and without any presentment or surrender of this Secured Certificate, except
that in the case of any final payment with respect to this Secured
Certificate, the Secured Certificate shall be surrendered promptly thereafter
by the Indenture Trustee to the Owner Trustee for cancellation.
The holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Secured Certificate, agrees
that, except as provided in the Trust Indenture, each payment received by it
hereunder shall be applied, first, to the payment of accrued interest on this
Secured Certificate (as well as any interest on any overdue Principal Amount,
any overdue Make-Whole Amount, if any, or, to the extent permitted by Law,
any overdue interest and other amounts hereunder) to the date of such
payment, second to the payment of the Principal Amount of this Secured
Certificate then due, third, to the payment of Make-Whole Amount, if any, and
any other amount due hereunder or under the Trust Indenture, and fourth, the
balance, if any, remaining thereafter, to the payment of Principal Amount of
this Secured Certificate remaining unpaid in the inverse order of their
normal maturity.
This Secured Certificate is one of the Secured Certificates referred to
in the Trust Indenture which have been or are to be issued by the Owner
Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Trust Indenture. The Trust Indenture
Estate is held by the Indenture Trustee as security, in part, for the Secured
Certificates. The provisions of this Secured Certificate are subject to the
Trust
-8-
Indenture. Reference is hereby made to the Trust Indenture and the
Participation Agreement for a complete statement of the rights and
obligations of the holder of, and the nature and extent of the security for,
this Secured Certificate and the rights and obligations of the holders of,
and the nature and extent of the security for, any other Secured Certificates
executed and delivered under the Trust Indenture, as well as for a statement
of the terms and conditions of the Trust created by the Trust Indenture, to
all of which terms and conditions in the Trust Indenture and the
Participation Agreement each holder hereof agrees by its acceptance of this
Secured Certificate.

SECTION 2.02. Issuance and Terms of Secured Certificates. The Secured
Certificates shall be dated the date of issuance thereof, shall be issued in
three separate series consisting of Series A, Series B and Series C and in
the maturities and principal amounts and shall bear interest as specified in
Schedule I hereto. On the date hereof, each Secured Certificate shall be
issued to the Pass Through Trustees (or their designee) under the Pass
Through Agreements as set forth in Schedule II hereto in connection
therewith. The Secured Certificates shall be issued in registered form only.
The Secured Certificates shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and
integral multiples thereof, except that one Secured Certificate of each
Series may be in an amount that is not an integral multiple of $1,000.
Each Secured Certificate shall bear interest at the Debt Rate
(calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day
months) on the unpaid Principal Amount thereof from time to time outstanding,
payable in arrears on January 2, 1998, and on each July 2 and January 2
thereafter until maturity. The Principal Amount of each Secured Certificate
shall be payable on the dates and in the installments equal to the
corresponding percentage of the Principal Amount as set forth in Schedule I
hereto which shall be attached as Schedule I to the Secured Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment made under each Secured
Certificate shall be in an amount sufficient to discharge in full the unpaid
Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on, and any other
amounts due under, such Secured Certificate. Each Secured Certificate shall
bear interest at the Past Due Rate (calculated on the basis of a year of 360
days comprised of twelve 30-day months) on any part of the Principal Amount,
Make-Whole Amount, if any, and to the extent permitted by applicable law,
interest and any other amounts payable thereunder not paid when due for any
period during which the same shall be overdue, in each case for the period
the same is overdue. Amounts shall be overdue if not paid when due (whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, if any date on which a payment under any
Secured Certificate becomes due and payable is not a Business Day then such
payment shall not be made on such scheduled date but shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day and if such
-12-
payment is made on such next succeeding Business Day, no interest shall
accrue on the amount of such payment during such extension.
The Owner Trustee agrees to pay to the Indenture Trustee for
distribution in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof (a) any and all indemnity
amounts received by the Owner Trustee which are payable by Lessee to (i) the
Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) the Certificate Holders,
(iii) the Subordination Agent, (iv) the Liquidity Provider, or (v) the Pass
Through Trustees, in each case pursuant to Section 7 of the Participation
Agreement, (b) the Owner Trustee's pro rata share of all amounts owed to the
Liquidity Provider by the Subordination Agent under each Liquidity Facility
other than amounts due as (i) repayments of the principal of advances
thereunder, and (ii) interest on Interest Drawings, Final Drawings and
Applied Downgrade Advances (as defined in the Liquidity Facilities) under any
Liquidity Facility except to the extent included in Net Interest and Related
Charges, and (c) any and all amounts received by the Owner Trustee which are
payable by Lessee under clause (c) or (d) of the definition of Supplemental
Rent. As used in this Section, "Owner Trustee's pro rata share" means as of
any time:
(A) with respect to all amounts other than Net Interest and Related
Charges, a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate principal
balance then outstanding of the Secured Certificates and the denominator
of which is the aggregate principal balance then outstanding of all
Equipment Notes, plus
(B) with respect to all Net Interest and Related Charges (x) if
there exists a Payment Default under any Secured Certificate a fraction,
the numerator of which is the aggregate principal balance then outstanding
of the Secured Certificates and the denominator of which is the aggregate
principal balance then outstanding of all Equipment Notes issued under
Indentures under which there exists a Payment Default or (y) at all other
times, zero.
As used in this Section, "Net Interest and Related Charges" means the sum of
(i) the amount, if any, by which interest payable to the Liquidity Provider
on any Interest Drawing, Final Drawing and/or Applied Downgrade Advance (as
defined in the Liquidity Facilities) exceeds the amount which would be
payable if such drawings bore interest at the Designated Interest Rate plus
(ii) any amounts payable under Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.3 or
Section 7.7 of each Liquidity Facility (or similar provisions of any
succeeding Liquidity Facility) which result from any Interest Drawing, Final
Drawing or Applied Downgrade Advance (as defined in the Liquidity
Facilities). As used in this Section "Designated Interest Rate" means the
weighted average Past Due Rate (as defined in the applicable Indentures)
except with respect to that portion of any Final Drawing (or Applied
Downgrade Advance which becomes a Final Drawing) which remains in a Cash
Collateral Account, Designated Interest Rate means the weighted average
Investment Earnings of funds in the Cash Collateral Accounts. As used in this
Section, a Payment Default when used in connection with a Secured Certificate
or Equipment Note means a default in the payment of principal thereof or
interest thereon which has not been cured other than solely because of
acceleration. The following terms are used in this Section as defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement without regard to any amendment, modification or
supplement thereto
-13-
after the Closing Date: Cash Collateral Account, Equipment Notes, Final
Drawing, Indentures, Interest Drawing and Investment Earnings.
The Secured Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Owner
Trustee by its President or one of its Vice Presidents, Assistant Vice
Presidents or Assistant Secretaries or other authorized officer. Secured
Certificates bearing the signatures of individuals who were at any time the
proper officers of the Owner Trustee shall bind the Owner Trustee,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Secured Certificates
or did not hold such offices at the respective dates of such Secured
Certificates. The Owner Trustee may from time to time execute and deliver
Secured Certificates with respect to the Aircraft to the Indenture Trustee
for authentication upon original issue and such Secured Certificates shall
thereupon be authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee upon the
written request of the Owner Trustee signed by a Vice President or Assistant
Vice President or other authorized officer of the Owner Trustee; provided,
however, that each such request shall specify the aggregate Principal Amount
of all Secured Certificates to be authenticated hereunder on original issue
with respect to the Aircraft. No Secured Certificate shall be secured by or
entitled to any benefit under this Trust Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purposes, unless there appears on such Secured Certificate a
certificate of authentication in the form provided for herein executed by the
Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers
and such certificate upon any Secured Certificates shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Secured Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder.
SECTION 2.03. Payments from Trust Indenture Estate Only. (a) Without
impairing any of the other rights, powers, remedies, privileges, liens or
security interests of the Certificate Holders under this Trust Indenture,
each Certificate Holder, by its acceptance of a Secured Certificate, agrees
that as between it and the Owner Trustee, except as expressly provided in
this Trust Indenture, the Participation Agreement or any other Operative
Document, (i) the obligation to make all payments of the Principal Amount of,
interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and all other amounts due with
respect to the Secured Certificates, and the performance by the Owner Trustee
of every obligation or covenant contained in this Trust Indenture and in the
Participation Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents, shall be
payable only from the income and proceeds from the Trust Estate to the extent
included in the Trust Indenture Estate and only to the extent that the Owner
Trustee shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Estate to the
extent included in the Trust Indenture Estate to enable the Indenture Trustee
to make such payments in accordance with the terms of Article III hereof, and
all of the statements, representations, covenants and agreements made by the
Owner Trustee (when made in such capacity) contained in this Trust Indenture
and any agreement referred to herein other than the Trust Agreement, unless
expressly otherwise stated, are made and intended only for the purpose of
binding the Trust Estate and establishing the existence of rights and
remedies which can be exercised and enforced against the Trust Estate;
therefore, anything contained in this Trust Indenture or such other
agreements to the contrary notwithstanding (except for any express provisions
or representations that the Owner Trustee is responsible for, or is making,
in its individual capacity, for which there would be personal liability of
the Owner Trustee), no recourse shall be had with respect to this Trust
Indenture or such other agreements against the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity or against any institution or person which
-14-
becomes a successor trustee or co-trustee or any officer, director, trustee,
servant or direct or indirect parent or controlling Person or Persons of any
of them, and (ii) none of the Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity, the
Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee and any officer, director, trustee,
servant, employee, agent or direct or indirect parent or controlling Person
or Persons of any of them shall have any personal liability for any amounts
payable, or other obligation owed, hereunder, under the Participation
Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents or under the Secured
Certificates except as expressly provided herein or in the Participation
Agreement; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 2.03(a)
shall be construed to limit the exercise and enforcement in accordance with
the terms of this Trust Indenture or such other agreements of rights and
remedies against the Trust Estate. These provisions are not intended as any
release or discharge of the indebtedness represented by the Secured
Certificates and the Trust Indenture, but are intended only as a covenant not
to xxx the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee in
their individual capacities, except as expressly provided herein or in the
Participation Agreement, for a deficiency with respect to such indebtedness,
the indebtedness represented by this Trust Indenture and the Secured
Certificates to remain in full force and effect as fully as though these
provisions were not contained in this Trust Indenture. The Owner Trustee
hereby acknowledges that the Certificate Holders have expressly reserved all
their rights and remedies against the Trust Indenture Estate, including the
right, in the event of a default in the payment of all or part of the
Principal Amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or any other
amount due with respect to any Secured Certificate within the periods
provided for in Section 4.02(b) hereof, or upon the occurrence and
continuation of any other Event of Default under this Trust Indenture, to
foreclose upon this Trust Indenture, and/or to receive the proceeds from the
Trust Indenture Estate and otherwise to enforce any other right under this
Trust Indenture. Nothing in this Section 2.03(a) shall (x) release the Owner
Participant from personal liability, or constitute a covenant not to xxx the
Owner Participant, for any breach by it of any of its covenants,
representations or warranties contained in the Participation Agreement or for
any of the payments it has agreed to make pursuant to the Participation
Agreement or (y) release the Owner Trustee or constitute a covenant not to
xxx the Owner Trustee for any breach by it of any representations, warranties
or covenants of the Owner Trustee contained in the Operative Documents or (z)
release the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity from personal liability,
or constitute a covenant not to xxx the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity for any breach by it of any representations, warranties or covenants
of the Owner Trustee made in its individual capacity in the Operative
Documents.
(b) If (i) all or any part of the Trust Estate becomes the property of,
or the Owner Trustee or Owner Participant becomes, a debtor subject to the
reorganization provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) pursuant to such
reorganization provisions, including Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code,
the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity) or the Owner Participant is
required, by reason of the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity) or the
Owner Participant being held to have recourse liability to any Certificate
Holder or the Indenture Trustee, directly or indirectly (other than the
recourse liability of the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity), to make
payment on account of any amount payable as principal, Make-Whole Amount, if
any, interest or other amounts on the Secured Certificates or under this
Indenture and (iii) any Certificate Holder or the Indenture Trustee actually
receives any Excess
-15-
Amount (as hereinafter defined) which reflects any payment by the Owner
Trustee (in its individual capacity) or the Owner Participant on account of
clause (ii) above, then such Certificate Holder or the Indenture Trustee, as
the case may be, shall promptly refund to the Owner Trustee (in its
individual capacity) or the Owner Participant (whichever shall have made such
payment) such Excess Amount.
For purposes of this Section 2.03(b), "Excess Amount" means the amount
by which such payment exceeds the amount that would have been received by a
Certificate Holder or the Indenture Trustee if the Owner Trustee (in its
individual capacity) or the Owner Participant had not become subject to the
recourse liability referred to in clause (ii) above. Nothing contained in
this Section 2.03(b) shall prevent a Certificate Holder or the Indenture
Trustee from enforcing any personal recourse obligation (and retaining the
proceeds thereof) of the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity) or the
Owner Participant under the Participation Agreement or this Trust Indenture
(and any exhibits or annexes hereto or thereto) or by separate agreement or
from retaining any amount paid by Owner Participant under Section 2.14 or
4.03 hereof.
SECTION 2.04. Method of Payment. (a) The Principal Amount of,
interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and other amounts due under each
Secured Certificate or hereunder will be payable in Dollars by wire transfer
of immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time,
on the due date of payment to the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust
Office for distribution among the Certificate Holders in the manner provided
herein. The Owner Trustee shall not have any responsibility for the
distribution of such payment to any Certificate Holder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or any provision in any Secured Certificate to the contrary, the
Indenture Trustee will use reasonable efforts to pay or cause to be paid, if
so directed in writing by any Certificate Holder (with a copy to the Owner
Trustee), all amounts paid by the Owner Trustee hereunder and under such
holder's Secured Certificate or Secured Certificates to such holder or a
nominee therefor (including all amounts distributed pursuant to Article III
of this Trust Indenture) by transferring, or causing to be transferred, by
wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars, prior to 2:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the due date of payment, to an account maintained by
such holder with a bank located in the continental United States the amount
to be distributed to such holder, for credit to the account of such holder
maintained at such bank. If the Indenture Trustee shall fail to make any
such payment as provided in the immediately preceding sentence after its
receipt of funds at the place and prior to the time specified above, the
Indenture Trustee, in its individual capacity and not as trustee, agrees to
compensate such holders for loss of use of funds at the Debt Rate until such
payment is made and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to any interest
earned on such funds until such payment is made. Any payment made hereunder
shall be made without any presentment or surrender of any Secured
Certificate, except that, in the case of the final payment in respect of any
Secured Certificate, such Secured Certificate shall be surrendered to the
Indenture Trustee for cancellation promptly after such payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Indenture to the contrary,
the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to make, or cause to be made,
wire transfers as aforesaid prior to the first Business Day on which it is
practicable for the Indenture Trustee to do so in view of the time of day
when the funds to be so transferred were received by it if such funds were
received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, at the place of payment.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Secured
Certificate, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall deem and treat
the Person in whose name any
-16-
Secured Certificate is registered on the Secured Certificate Register as the
absolute owner and holder of such Secured Certificate for the purpose of
receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Secured
Certificate and for all other purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. So long
as any signatory to the Participation Agreement or nominee thereof shall be a
registered Certificate Holder, all payments to it shall be made to the
account of such Certificate Holder specified in Schedule I thereto and
otherwise in the manner provided in or pursuant to the Participation
Agreement unless it shall have specified some other account or manner of
payment by notice to the Indenture Trustee consistent with this Section 2.04.
(b) The Indenture Trustee, as agent for the Owner Trustee, shall
exclude and withhold at the appropriate rate from each payment of Principal
Amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and other amounts due
hereunder or under each Secured Certificate (and such exclusion and
withholding shall constitute payment in respect of such Secured Certificate)
any and all United States withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by
Law. The Indenture Trustee agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in
connection therewith, whenever any present or future United States taxes or
similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts
payable hereunder or in respect of the Secured Certificates, to withhold such
amounts (and such withholding shall constitute payment in respect of such
Secured Certificate) and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in
the name of and on behalf of the Certificate Holders, that it will file any
necessary United States withholding tax returns or statements when due, and
that as promptly as possible after the payment thereof it will deliver to
each Certificate Holder (with a copy to the Owner Trustee and Lessee)
appropriate receipts showing the payment thereof, together with such
additional documentary evidence as any such Certificate Holder may reasonably
request from time to time.
If a Certificate Holder which is a Non-U.S. Person has furnished to the
Indenture Trustee a properly completed and currently effective U.S. Internal
Revenue Service Form 1001 or W-8 (or such successor form or forms as may be
required by the United States Treasury Department) during the calendar year
in which the payment hereunder or under the Secured Certificate(s) held by
such holder is made (but prior to the making of such payment), or in either
of the two preceding calendar years, and has not notified the Indenture
Trustee of the withdrawal or inaccuracy of such form prior to the date of
such payment (and the Indenture Trustee has no reason to know that any
information set forth in such form is inaccurate), the Indenture Trustee
shall withhold only the amount, if any, required by Law (after taking into
account any applicable exemptions claimed by the Certificate Holder) to be
withheld from payments hereunder or under the Secured Certificates held by
such holder in respect of United States federal income tax (and such
withholding shall constitute payment in respect of such Secured Certificate).
If a Certificate Holder (x) which is a Non-U.S. Person has furnished to the
Indenture Trustee a properly completed and currently effective U.S. Internal
Revenue Service Form 4224 in duplicate (or such successor certificate, form
or forms as may be required by the United States Treasury Department as
necessary in order to avoid withholding of United States federal income tax),
during the calendar year in which the payment is made (but prior to the
making of such payment), and has not notified the Indenture Trustee of the
withdrawal or inaccuracy of such certificate or form prior to the date of
such payment (and the Indenture Trustee has no reason to know that any
information set forth in such form is inaccurate) or (y) which is a U.S.
Person has furnished to
-17-
the Indenture Trustee a properly completed and currently effective U.S.
Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, if applicable, prior to a payment
hereunder or under the Secured Certificates held by such holder, no amount
shall be withheld from payments in respect of United States federal income
tax. If any Certificate Holder has notified the Indenture Trustee that any
of the foregoing forms or certificates is withdrawn or inaccurate, or if such
holder has not filed a form claiming an exemption from United States
withholding tax or if the Code or the regulations thereunder or the
administrative interpretation thereof are at any time after the date hereof
amended to require such withholding of United States federal income taxes
from payments under the Secured Certificates held by such holder, the
Indenture Trustee agrees to withhold from each payment due to the relevant
Certificate Holder withholding taxes at the appropriate rate under Law and
will, on a timely basis as more fully provided above, deposit such amounts
with an authorized depository and make such returns, statements, receipts and
other documentary evidence in connection therewith as required by applicable
law.
SECTION 2.05. Application of Payments. In the case of each Secured
Certificate, each payment of Principal Amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and
interest or other amounts due thereon shall be applied:
First: to the payment of accrued interest on such Secured Certificate
(as well as any interest on any overdue Principal Amount, any overdue
Make-Whole Amount, if any, and to the extent permitted by Law, any overdue
interest and any other overdue amounts thereunder) to the date of such
payment;
Second: to the payment of the Principal Amount of such Secured
Certificate (or a portion thereof) then due thereunder;
Third: to the payment of Make-Whole Amount, if any, and any other
amount due hereunder or under such Secured Certificate; and
Fourth: the balance, if any, remaining thereafter, to the payment of
the Principal Amount of such Secured Certificate remaining unpaid (provided
that such Secured Certificate shall not be subject to redemption except as
provided in Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12 hereof).
The amounts paid pursuant to clause "Fourth" above shall be applied to the
installments of Principal Amount of such Secured Certificate in the inverse
order of their normal maturity.
SECTION 2.06. Termination of Interest in Trust Indenture Estate. A
Certificate Holder shall not, as such, have any further interest in, or other
right with respect to, the Trust Indenture Estate when and if the Principal
Amount of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on and other amounts due
under all Secured Certificates held by such Certificate Holder and all other
sums then payable to such Certificate Holder hereunder and under the other
Operative Documents by the Owner Trustee (collectively, the "Secured
Obligations") shall have been paid in full.
-18-
SECTION 2.07. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Secured
Certificates. The Indenture Trustee shall keep a register (the "Secured
Certificate Register") in which the Indenture Trustee shall provide for the
registration of Secured Certificates and the registration of transfers of
Secured Certificates. No such transfer shall be given effect unless and
until registration hereunder shall have occurred. The Secured Certificate
Register shall be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture
Trustee. The Indenture Trustee is hereby appointed "Secured Certificate
Registrar" for the purpose of registering Secured Certificates and transfers
of Secured Certificates as herein provided. A holder of any Secured
Certificate intending to exchange such Secured Certificate shall surrender
such Secured Certificate to the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust
Office, together with a written request from the registered holder thereof
for the issuance of a new Secured Certificate, specifying, in the case of a
surrender for transfer, the name and address of the new holder or holders.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Secured Certificate, the
Owner Trustee shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Secured Certificates of a like aggregate Principal Amount and of the same
series. At the option of the Certificate Holder, Secured Certificates may be
exchanged for other Secured Certificates of any authorized denominations of a
like aggregate Principal Amount, upon surrender of the Secured Certificates
to be exchanged to the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office.
Whenever any Secured Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Owner
Trustee shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Secured Certificates which the Certificate Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. All Secured Certificates issued upon any
registration of transfer or exchange of Secured Certificates (whether under
this Section 2.07 or under Section 2.08 hereof or otherwise under this Trust
Indenture) shall be the valid obligations of the Owner Trustee evidencing the
same respective obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits
under this Trust Indenture, as the Secured Certificates surrendered upon such
registration of transfer or exchange. Every Secured Certificate presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer, shall (if so required by the
Indenture Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly
executed by the Certificate Holder or such holder's attorney duly authorized
in writing, and the Indenture Trustee shall require evidence satisfactory to
it as to the compliance of any such transfer with the Securities Act, and the
securities Laws of any applicable state. The Indenture Trustee shall make a
notation on each new Secured Certificate of the amount of all payments of
Principal Amount previously made on the old Secured Certificate or Secured
Certificates with respect to which such new Secured Certificate is issued and
the date to which interest on such old Secured Certificate or Secured
Certificates has been paid. Interest shall be deemed to have been paid on
such new Secured Certificate to the date on which interest shall have been
paid on such old Secured Certificate, and all payments of the Principal
Amount marked on such new Secured Certificate, as provided above, shall be
deemed to have been made thereon. The Owner Trustee shall not be required to
exchange any surrendered Secured Certificates as provided above during the
ten-day period preceding the due date of any payment on such Secured
Certificate. The Owner Trustee shall in all cases deem the Person in whose
name any Secured Certificate shall have been issued and registered as the
absolute owner and holder of such Secured Certificate for the purpose of
receiving payment of all amounts payable by the Owner Trustee with respect to
such Secured Certificate and for all purposes until a notice stating
otherwise is received from the Indenture
-19-
Trustee and such change is reflected on the Secured Certificate Register.
The Indenture Trustee will promptly notify the Owner Trustee, the Owner
Participant and Lessee of each registration of a transfer of a Secured
Certificate. Any such transferee of a Secured Certificate, by its acceptance
of a Secured Certificate, agrees to the provisions of the Participation
Agreement applicable to Certificate Holders, including Sections 6, 8(c),
8(e), 8(k), 8(l), 8(q), 8(r), 8(t), 10, 13(b), 13(c), 15(b) and 15(c), and
shall be deemed to have represented and warranted (except as provided above),
and covenanted, to the parties to the Participation Agreement as to the
matters represented, warranted and covenanted by the Purchasers in the
Participation Agreement. Subject to compliance by the Certificate Holder and
its transferee (if any) of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.07,
the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall use all reasonable efforts
to issue new Secured Certificates upon transfer or exchange within 10
Business Days of the date a Secured Certificate is surrendered for transfer
or exchange.
SECTION 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Secured
Certificates. If any Secured Certificate shall become mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen, the Owner Trustee shall, upon the written request of the
holder of such Secured Certificate, execute and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in replacement thereof a new Secured Certificate,
payable in the same Principal Amount dated the same date and captioned as
issued in connection with the Aircraft. If the Secured Certificate being
replaced has become mutilated, such Secured Certificate shall be surrendered
to the Indenture Trustee and a photocopy thereof shall be furnished to the
Owner Trustee. If the Secured Certificate being replaced has been destroyed,
lost or stolen, the holder of such Secured Certificate shall furnish to the
Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee such security
or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Owner Trustee, the Owner
Participant and the Indenture Trustee harmless and evidence satisfactory to
the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee of the
destruction, loss or theft of such Secured Certificate and of the ownership
thereof. If a "qualified institutional buyer" of the type referred to in
paragraph (a)(l)(i)(A), (B), (D) or (E) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act
(a "QIB") is the holder of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Secured
Certificate, then the written indemnity of such QIB, signed by an authorized
officer thereof, in favor of, delivered to and in form reasonably
satisfactory to Lessee, the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee shall be accepted as satisfactory indemnity and security
and no further indemnity or security shall be required as a condition to the
execution and delivery of such new Secured Certificate. Subject to compliance
by the Certificate Holder of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.08,

purchase all but not less than all of the Secured Certificates outstanding
hereunder, and each Certificate Holder agrees that it will, upon such events
and subject to such terms and conditions and upon receipt of such price,
sell, assign, transfer and convey to such purchaser or its nominee (without
recourse or warranty of any kind except as to its title to the Secured
Certificates and except against Liens on such Secured Certificates arising
by, through or under such holder), all of the right, title and interest of
such Certificate Holder in and to the Trust Indenture Estate, this Trust
Indenture and the Secured Certificates held by it, and such purchaser or its

Certificate the aggregate unpaid Principal Amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase and all other amounts (other

an Indenture Trustee Event or (ii) in the event there shall have occurred and
be continuing a Lease Event of Default, provided that if such option is

occurred and be continuing for less than 180 days a Lease Event of Default,
the purchase price thereof shall equal the price provided in the preceding
sentence plus the Make-Whole Amount, if any.
Such option to purchase the Secured Certificates may be exercised by the
Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant giving written notice of its election
of such option to the Indenture Trustee, which notice shall specify a date
for such purchase not more than 30 days or less than 15 days after the date
of such notice. The Indenture Trustee shall not exercise any of the remedies
hereunder or, without the consent of the Owner Trustee or the Owner
Participant, under the Lease, during the period from the time that a notice
of exercise by the Owner Participant of such option to purchase becomes
irrevocable until the date on which such purchase is required to occur
pursuant to the terms of the preceding sentence. Such election to purchase
the Secured Certificates shall become irrevocable upon the sixteenth day
preceding the date specified in the written notice described in the first
sentence of this paragraph.
If the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant on or before the date of
such purchase shall so request, the Certificate Holders will comply with all
the provisions of Section 2.07 to enable new Secured Certificates to be
issued to the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant or its nominee in such

2.15 or Article III hereof, it will hold any amount so received in trust for
the Senior Holder (as defined in Section 2.15(c) hereof) and will forthwith
turn over such payment to the Indenture Trustee in the form received to be
applied as provided in Article III hereof.

Participation Agreement, at the risk of the Owner Trustee, in Cash
Equivalents selected by Lessee and approved by the Indenture Trustee for the
account of the Owner Trustee in accordance with Section 2.17(b) below;

the accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts due thereon and all other
Secured Obligations in respect of the Series B Secured Certificates to the
date of distribution, shall be distributed to the Certificate Holders of
Series B, and in case the aggregate amount so to be distributed shall be
insufficient to pay in full as aforesaid, then ratably, without priority of
one over the other, in the proportion that the aggregate unpaid Principal
Amount of all Series B Secured Certificates held by each holder plus the
accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts due hereunder or thereunder
to the date of distribution, bears to the aggregate unpaid Principal Amount
of all Series B Secured Certificates held by all such holders plus the
accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts due thereon to the date of
distribution; and
(iii) after giving effect to paragraph (ii) above, so much of such
payments or amounts remaining as shall be required to pay in full the
aggregate unpaid Principal Amount of all Series C Secured Certificates, and
the accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts due thereon and all other
Secured Obligations in respect of the Series C Secured Certificates to the
date of distribution, shall be distributed to the Certificate Holders of
-30-
Series C, and in case the aggregate amount so to be distributed shall be
insufficient to pay in full as aforesaid, then ratably, without priority of
one over the other, in the proportion that the aggregate unpaid Principal
Amount of all Series C Secured Certificates held by each holder plus the
accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts due hereunder or thereunder
to the date of distribution, bears to the aggregate unpaid Principal Amount
of all Series C Secured Certificates held by all such holders plus the
accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts due thereon to the date of
distribution; and
Fourth: the balance, if any, of such payments or amounts remaining
thereafter shall be distributed to the Owner Trustee.
No Make-Whole Amount shall be due and payable on the Secured Certificates
as a consequence of the acceleration of the Secured Certificates.
SECTION 3.04. Certain Payments. (a) Any payments received by the
Indenture Trustee for which no provision as to the application thereof is

of all Secured Obligations due the Certificate Holders, in the order of
priority specified in Section 3.01 hereof subject to the proviso thereto, and
(ii) after payment in full of all Secured Obligations due the Certificate

SECTION 4.02. Event of Default. "Event of Default" means any of the
following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether
such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or come about or be effected by
operation of Law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment, decree or
order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or
governmental body):
(a) any Lease Event of Default (provided that any such Lease Event of
Default caused solely by a failure of Lessee to pay to the Owner Trustee or
the Owner Participant when due any amount that is included in the
definition of Excluded Payments shall not constitute an Event of Default
unless notice is given by the Owner Trustee to the Indenture Trustee that
such failure shall constitute an Event of Default); or
(b) the failure of the Owner Trustee to pay when due any payment of
Principal Amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or other
amount due and payable under any Secured Certificate or hereunder (other
than any such failure arising by virtue of a tax withheld pursuant to
Section 2.04(b) hereof or as a result of a Lease Event of Default or a
Lease Default) and such failure shall have continued unremedied for ten
Business Days in the case of any payment of Principal Amount or interest or
Make-Whole Amount, if any, thereon and, in the case of any other amount,
for ten Business Days after the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant
receives written demand from the Indenture Trustee or any Certificate
Holder; or
(c) any Lien required to be discharged by the Owner Trustee, in its
individual capacity pursuant to Section 4.01(b) hereof or in its individual
or trust capacity pursuant to Section 8(h) of the Participation Agreement,
or by the Owner Participant pursuant to Section 8(h) of the Participation
Agreement shall remain undischarged for a period of 30 days after the Owner
Trustee and the Owner Participant shall have received written notice from
the Indenture Trustee or any Certificate Holder of such Lien; or
(d) any representation or warranty made by the Owner Participant or
the Owner Trustee herein, in the Participation Agreement or in any
certificate furnished by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee to the
Indenture Trustee or any Certificate Holder in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents shall prove to have
been false or incorrect when made in any material respect and continues to
be material; and if such misrepresentation is capable of being corrected
and if such correction is being sought diligently, such misrepresentation
shall not have been corrected within 60 days (or, without affecting Section
4.02(f) hereof, in the case of the representations made in Section 8(c) of
the Participation Agreement as to the citizenship of the Owner Trustee in
its individual capacity or of the Owner Participant, respectively, as soon
as is reasonably practicable but in any event within 60 days) following
notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or any Certificate Holder to the
Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant, as the case may be; or
-34-
(e) other than as provided in (c) above or (f) below, any failure by
the Owner Trustee or Owner Participant to observe or perform any other
covenant or obligation of the Owner Trustee or Owner Participant, as the
case may be, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee or the Certificate
Holders contained in the Participation Agreement, Section 4.01(a) of the
Trust Agreement, the Secured Certificates or this Trust Indenture which is
not remedied within a period of 60 days after notice thereof has been given
to the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant; or
(f) if at any time when the Aircraft is registered under the laws of
the United States, the Owner Participant shall not be a Citizen of the
United States, and as the result thereof the registration of the Aircraft
under the Federal Aviation Act, and regulations then applicable thereunder,
shall cease to be effective; provided that no Event of Default shall be
deemed to have occurred under this paragraph (f) unless such circumstances
continue unremedied for more than 60 days after the Owner Participant has
Actual Knowledge of the state of facts that resulted in such
ineffectiveness and of such loss of citizenship; or
(g) at any time either (i) the commencement of an involuntary case or
other proceeding in respect of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee or
the Trust Estate under the federal bankruptcy Laws, as now constituted or
hereafter amended, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar Law in the United States or seeking the
appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee,
sequestrator (or similar official) of the Owner Participant, the Owner
Trustee or the Trust Estate or for all or substantially all of its
property, or seeking the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs and the
continuation of any such case or other proceeding undismissed and unstayed
for a period of 90 consecutive days; or (ii) the commencement by the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee or the Trust Estate of a voluntary case or
proceeding under the federal bankruptcy Laws, as now constituted or
hereafter amended, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar Law in the United States, or the consent by the
Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee or the Trust Estate to the appointment
of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee or the Trust Estate or for all or
substantially all of its property, or the making by the Owner Participant,
the Owner Trustee or the Trust Estate of any assignment for the benefit of
creditors or the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee shall take any
action to authorize any of the foregoing; provided, however, that an event
referred to in this Section 4.02(g) with respect to the Owner Participant
shall not constitute an Event of Default if within 30 days of the
commencement of the case or proceeding a final non-appealable order,
judgment or decree shall be entered in such case or proceeding by a court
or a trustee, custodian, receiver or liquidator, to the effect that, no
part of the Trust Estate (except for the Owner Participant's beneficial
interest therein) and no right, title or interest under the Trust Indenture
Estate shall be included in, or be subject to, any declaration or
adjudication of, or proceedings with respect to, the bankruptcy, insolvency
or liquidation of the Owner Participant referred to in this Section
4.02(g).
SECTION 4.03. Certain Rights. The Indenture Trustee shall give the
Certificate Holders, the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant prompt written
notice of any Event of
-35-
Default of which the Indenture Trustee has Actual Knowledge and, if any such
Event of Default results from a Lease Event of Default, shall give the
Certificate Holders, the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant not less
than ten Business Days' prior written notice of the date (the "Enforcement
Date") on or after which the Indenture Trustee may commence and consummate
the exercise of any remedy or remedies described in Section 4.04, 4.05 or
4.06 hereof, or the exercise of any remedy or remedies pursuant to the
provisions of Section 15 of the Lease. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Owner Trustee shall have the following rights
hereunder, any of which may be exercised directly by the Owner Participant.
If as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of
the nonpayment by Lessee of Basic Rent due under the Lease, the Indenture
Trustee shall have insufficient funds to make any payment of Principal Amount
and interest on any Secured Certificate on the day it becomes due and
payable, the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant may, but shall not be
obligated to, pay the Indenture Trustee prior to the Enforcement Date, in the
manner provided in Section 2.04 hereof, for application in accordance with
Section 3.01 hereof, an amount equal to the portion of the Principal Amount
and interest (including interest, if any, on any overdue payments of such
portion of Principal Amount and interest) then due and payable on the Secured
Certificates, and, unless the Owner Trustee has cured Events of Default in
respect of payments of Basic Rent on each of the three immediately preceding
Basic Rent payment dates, or the Owner Trustee has cured six previous Events
of Default in respect of payments of Basic Rent, such payment by the Owner
Trustee shall, solely for purposes of this Trust Indenture be deemed to cure
any Event of Default which would otherwise have arisen on account of the
nonpayment by Lessee of such installment of Basic Rent (but not any other
Default or Event of Default which shall have occurred and be continuing).
If any Event of Default (other than in respect of the nonpayment of
Basic Rent by Lessee) which can be cured has occurred, the Owner Trustee or
the Owner Participant may, but shall not be obligated to, cure such Event of
Default prior to the Enforcement Date as is necessary to accomplish the
observance or performance of the defaulted covenant, condition or agreement.
Except as hereinafter in this Section 4.03 provided, the Owner Trustee
shall not, as a result of exercising the right to cure any such Event of
Default, obtain any Lien on any of the Mortgaged Property or any Rent payable
under the Lease for or on account of costs or expenses incurred in connection
with the exercise of such right, nor shall any claim of the Owner Trustee
against Lessee or any other party for the repayment of such costs or expenses
impair the prior right and security interest of the Indenture Trustee in and
to the Mortgaged Property. Upon any payment by the Owner Trustee or the
Owner Participant pursuant to the first or second preceding paragraphs of
this Section 4.03, the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant, as the case
may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the
Certificate Holders in respect of the Basic Rent which was overdue at the
time of such payment and interest payable by Lessee on account of its being
overdue and any Supplemental Rent in respect of the reimbursement of amounts
paid by Owner Trustee pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph (but in
either case shall have no rights as a secured party hereunder), and
thereafter, the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant, as the case may be,
shall be entitled to receive such overdue Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent, as
the case may be, and interest thereon upon receipt thereof by the Indenture
-36-
Trustee (and shall be entitled to bring an action against Lessee to enforce
such payment); provided, however, that (i) if the Principal Amount and
interest on the Secured Certificates shall have become due and payable
pursuant to Section 4.04(b) hereof, such subrogation shall, until the
Principal Amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and all other
amounts due with respect to all Secured Certificates shall have been paid in
full, be subordinate to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the
Certificate Holders in respect of such payment of overdue Basic Rent,
Supplemental Rent and such interest and (ii) the Owner Trustee shall not be
entitled to seek to recover any such payment (or any payment in lieu thereof)
except pursuant to the foregoing right of subrogation by demand or suit for
damages.
SECTION 4.04. Remedies. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.14
hereof, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and so
long as the same shall continue unremedied, then and in every such case the
Indenture Trustee may, subject to the second paragraph of this Section
4.04(a), on and after the Enforcement Date if such Event of Default results
from a Lease Event of Default, exercise any or all of the rights and powers
and pursue any and all of the remedies pursuant to this Article IV and shall
have and may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under
the Uniform Commercial Code and, in the event such Event of Default is also a
Lease Event of Default, any and all of the remedies pursuant to Section 15 of
the Lease and may take possession of all or any part of the properties
covered or intended to be covered by the Lien created hereby or pursuant
hereto and may exclude the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee and Lessee
and all persons claiming under any of them wholly or partly therefrom,
provided that the Indenture Trustee shall give the Owner Trustee and the
Owner Participant twenty days' prior written notice of its intention to sell
the Aircraft. Without limiting any of the foregoing, it is understood and
agreed that the Indenture Trustee may exercise any right of sale of the
Aircraft available to it, even though it shall not have taken possession of
the Aircraft and shall not have possession thereof at the time of such sale.
Anything in this Trust Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Indenture Trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any remedy hereunder as a
result of an Event of Default which arises solely by reason of one or more
events or circumstances which constitute a Lease Event of Default unless the
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 to terminate the Lease or take possession
and/or sell the Aircraft; provided, however, that such requirement to
exercise one or more of such remedies under the Lease shall not apply in
circumstances where the Indenture Trustee is, and has been, for a continuous
period in excess of 60 days or such other period as may be specified in
Section 1110(a)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code (such 60-day or other period
being the "Section 1110 Period"), involuntarily stayed or prohibited by
applicable law or court order from exercising such remedies under the Lease
(a "Continuous Stay Period"); provided further, however, that the requirement
to exercise one or more of such remedies under the Lease shall nonetheless be
applicable during a Continuous Stay Period subsequent to the expiration of
the Section 1110 Period to the extent that the continuation of such
Continuous Stay Period subsequent to the expiration of the Section 1110
Period (A) results from an agreement by the trustee or the
debtor-in-possession in such proceeding during the Section 1110 Period with
the approval of the relevant court to perform the Lease in accordance with
Section 1110(a)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and continues to perform as
required by Section 1110(a)(1)(A-B) of the Bankruptcy Code or (B) is an
extension of
-37-
the Section 1110 Period with the consent of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (C) results from Lessee's
assumption during the Section 1110 Period with the approval of the relevant
court of the Lease pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or (D) is
the consequence of the Indenture Trustee's own failure to give any requisite
notice to any Person. In the event that the applicability of Section 1110 of
the Bankruptcy Code to the Aircraft is being contested by Lessee in judicial
proceedings, so long as the Indenture Trustee fails to participate in such
proceedings, the Owner Trustee shall have the right (without affecting in any
way any rights or remedy of the Indenture Trustee hereunder) to participate
in such proceedings.
It is expressly understood and agreed that, subject only to the
immediately preceding paragraph, the inability, described in such paragraphs,
of the Indenture Trustee to exercise any right or remedy under the Lease
shall in no event and under no circumstances prevent the Indenture Trustee
from exercising any or all of its rights, powers and remedies under this
Trust Indenture, including, without limitation, this Article IV.
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then
and in every such case the Indenture Trustee may (and shall, upon receipt of
a written demand therefor from a Majority in Interest of Certificate
Holders), subject to Section 4.03 hereof, at any time, by delivery of written
notice or notices to the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant, declare all
the Secured Certificates to be due and payable, whereupon the unpaid
Principal Amount of all Secured Certificates then outstanding, together with
accrued but unpaid interest thereon (without Make-Whole Amount) and other
amounts due thereunder, shall immediately become due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived.
This Section 4.04(b), however, is subject to the condition that, if at
any time after the Principal Amount of the Secured Certificates shall have
become so due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment
of the money so due, or any thereof, shall be entered, all overdue payments
of interest upon the Secured Certificates and all other amounts payable under
the Secured Certificates (except the Principal Amount of the Secured
Certificates which by such declaration shall have become payable) shall have
been duly paid, and every other Default and Event of Default with respect to
any covenant or provision of this Trust Indenture shall have been cured, then
and in every such case a Majority in Interest of Certificate Holders may (but
shall not be obligated to), by written instrument filed with the Indenture
Trustee, rescind and annul the Indenture Trustee's declaration and its
consequences; but no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect
any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.
(c) Any Certificate Holder shall be entitled, at any sale pursuant to
Section 15 of the Lease or this Section 4.04, to credit against any purchase
price bid at such sale by such holder all or any part of the unpaid
obligations owing to such Certificate Holder and secured by the Lien of this
Trust Indenture (but only to the extent that such purchase price would have
been paid to such Certificate Holder pursuant to Article III hereof if such
purchase price were paid in cash and the foregoing provisions of this
subsection (c) were not given effect).
-38-
(d) In the event of any sale of the Trust Indenture Estate, or any part
thereof, pursuant to any judgment or decree of any court or otherwise in
connection with the enforcement of any of the terms of this Trust Indenture,
the unpaid Principal Amount of all Secured Certificates then outstanding,
together with accrued interest thereon, and other amounts due thereunder,
shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest
or notice, all of which are hereby waived.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, so long as the Pass
Through Trustee under any Pass Through Trust Agreement or the Subordination
Agent on its behalf is a Certificate Holder, the Indenture Trustee will not
be authorized or empowered to acquire title to any Mortgaged Property or take
any action with respect to any Mortgaged Property so acquired by it if such
acquisition or action would cause any Trust to fail to qualify as a "grantor
trust" for federal income tax purposes.
SECTION 4.05. Return of Aircraft, Etc. (a) If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, subject to Sections 4.03 and 4.04
hereof, at the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee shall
promptly execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee such instruments of
title and 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 Mortgaged Property included in the Trust Indenture Estate to
which the Indenture Trustee shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If the
Owner Trustee shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such
instruments and documents after such request by the Indenture Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee may (i) obtain a judgment conferring on 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,
to the entry of which judgment the Owner Trustee hereby specifically consents
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and (ii) pursue all or
part of such Mortgaged Property wherever it may be found and, in the event
that a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, may enter any
of the premises of Lessee wherever such Mortgaged Property may be or be
supposed to be and search for such Mortgaged Property and take possession of
and remove such Mortgaged Property. All expenses of obtaining such judgment
or of pursuing, searching for and taking such property shall, until paid, be
secured by the Lien of this Trust Indenture.
(b) Upon every such taking of possession, the Indenture Trustee may,
from time to time, at the expense of the Mortgaged Property, make all such
expenditures for maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing,
control, management, disposition, modifications or alterations to and of the
Mortgaged Property, as it may deem proper. In each such case, the Indenture
Trustee shall have the right to maintain, use, operate, store, insure, lease,
control, manage, dispose of, modify or alter the Mortgaged Property and to
carry on the business and to exercise all rights and powers of the Owner
Participant and the Owner Trustee relating to the Mortgaged Property, as the
Indenture Trustee shall deem best, including the right to enter into any and
all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, operation, storage,
insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, modification or
alteration of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof as the Indenture
Trustee may determine, and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to collect
and receive directly all tolls, rents (including Rent), revenues, issues,
income,
-39-
products and profits of the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof, except
Excluded Payments, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Indenture
Trustee under any provision of this Trust Indenture to collect and receive
all cash held by, or required to be deposited with, the Indenture Trustee
hereunder. Such tolls, rents (including Rent), revenues, issues, income,
products and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of the maintenance,
use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management,
disposition, improvement, modification or alteration of the Mortgaged
Property and of conducting the business thereof, and to make all payments
which the Indenture Trustee may be required or may elect to make, if any, for
taxes, assessments, insurance or other proper charges upon the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof (including the employment of engineers and
accountants to examine, inspect and make reports upon the properties and
books and records of the Owner Trustee), and all other payments which the
Indenture Trustee may be required or authorized to make under any provision
of this Trust Indenture, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the
services of the Indenture Trustee, and of all persons properly engaged and
employed by the Indenture Trustee with respect hereto.
SECTION 4.06. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and
remedy given to the Indenture Trustee specifically or otherwise in this Trust
Indenture shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right,
power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at
law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy
whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from
time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the
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 the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such
right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the
part of the Owner Trustee or Lessee or to be an acquiescence therein.
SECTION 4.07. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Indenture
Trustee shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or
remedy under this Trust Indenture by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and
such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or
shall have been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee, then and in
every such case the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and Lessee shall,

Majority in Interest of Certificate Holders, the Indenture Trustee shall
waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences and upon any such
waiver such Default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising

Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or impair any right consequent thereon; provided that in the absence of

nothing herein or therein shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur the risk of any financial liability in
the performance of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it (the written
indemnity of any Certificate Holder who is a QIB, signed by an authorized
officer thereof, in favor of, delivered to and in form reasonably
satisfactory to Indenture Trustee shall be accepted as reasonable assurance
of adequate indemnity). The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take
any action under Section 5.01 (other than the first sentence thereof) or 5.02
or Article IV hereof, nor shall any other provision
-44-
of this Trust Indenture or any other Operative Document be deemed to impose a

that it will in its individual capacity and at its own cost and expense (but
without any right of indemnity in respect of any such cost or expense under
Section 7.01 hereof), promptly take such action as may be necessary duly to
discharge all liens and encumbrances on any part of the Trust Indenture

certificate furnished to the Indenture Trustee or any Certificate Holder in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents) or,

Documents. NEITHER THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE IN ITS INDIVIDUAL OR TRUST CAPACITY
NOR THE OWNER TRUSTEE IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY OR AS OWNER TRUSTEE UNDER

HAVE MADE AND EACH HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE TITLE, AIRWORTHINESS, VALUE, COMPLIANCE WITH

Trustee in its individual capacity warrants that (i) the Owner Trustee will
receive on the Delivery Date whatever title is conveyed to it by Lessee, and

correctness of any statement contained in any thereof, except for the
representations and warranties of the Owner Trustee made in its individual
capacity and the representations and warranties of the Indenture Trustee, in
each case expressly made in this Trust Indenture or in the Participation
Agreement. The Loan Participants, the Certificate Holders and the Owner
Participant make no representation or warranty hereunder whatsoever.
SECTION 6.04. No Segregation of Monies; No Interest. Any monies paid
to or retained by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof and
not then required to be distributed to the Certificate Holders, Lessee or the
Owner Trustee as provided in Article III hereof need not be segregated in any
manner except to the extent required by Law or Section 10(f) or 11(g) of the
Lease and Section 5.09 hereof, and may be deposited under such general
conditions as may be prescribed by Law, and the Indenture Trustee shall not
be liable for any interest thereon (except that the Indenture Trustee shall
invest all monies held as directed by Lessee so long as no Lease Event of
Default or Lease Default has occurred and is continuing (or in the absence of
such direction, by the Majority In Interest of Certificate Holders) in Cash
Equivalents; provided, however, that any payments received, or applied
hereunder, by the Indenture Trustee shall be accounted for by the Indenture
Trustee so that any portion thereof paid or applied pursuant hereto shall be
identifiable as to the source thereof.
SECTION 6.05. Reliance; Agreements; Advice of Counsel. Neither the
Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall incur any liability to anyone
in acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request,
consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper
believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper
party or parties. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may accept a
copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors (or, in the case of the Owner
Participant which originally executed the Participation Agreement, evidence
of the approval by the Executive Committee thereof) of any party to the
Participation Agreement, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary
thereof as duly adopted and in full force and effect, as conclusive evidence
that such resolution has been duly adopted and that the same is in full force
and effect. As to the aggregate unpaid Principal Amount of Secured
Certificates outstanding as of any date, the Owner Trustee may for all
purposes hereof rely on a certificate signed by any Vice President or other
authorized corporate trust officer of the Indenture Trustee. As to any fact
or matter relating to Lessee the manner of ascertainment of which is not
specifically described herein, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee
may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by a duly
authorized officer of Lessee, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate
shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them in good faith in
reliance thereon. The Indenture Trustee shall assume, and shall be fully
protected in assuming, that the Owner Trustee is authorized by the Trust
Agreement to enter into this Trust Indenture and to take all action to be
taken by it pursuant to the provisions hereof, and shall not inquire into the
authorization of the Owner Trustee with respect thereto. In the
administration of the trusts hereunder, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee each may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform its
powers and duties hereunder directly or through agents or attorneys and may
at the expense of the Trust Indenture Estate, consult with counsel,
accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it, and
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for anything
done, suffered or omitted in good faith by them
-51-
in accordance with the written advice or written opinion of any such counsel,
accountants or other skilled persons.
SECTION 6.06. Capacity in Which Acting. The Owner Trustee acts
hereunder solely as trustee as herein and in the Trust Agreement provided,
and not in its individual capacity, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, in the Trust Agreement and in the Participation Agreement.
SECTION 6.07. Compensation. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to
reasonable compensation, including expenses and disbursements (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), for all services rendered hereunder
and shall, on and subsequent to an Event of Default hereunder, have a
priority claim on the Trust Indenture Estate for the payment of such
compensation, to the extent that such compensation shall not be paid by
Lessee, and shall have the right, on and subsequent to an Event of Default
hereunder, to use or apply any monies held by it hereunder in the Trust
Indenture Estate toward such payments. The Indenture Trustee agrees that it
shall have no right against the Loan Participants, the Certificate Holders,
the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant for any fee as compensation for
its services as trustee under this Trust Indenture.
SECTION 6.08. Instructions from Certificate Holders. In the
administration of the trusts created hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall
have the right to seek instructions from a Majority in Interest of
Certificate Holders should any provision of this Trust Indenture appear to
conflict with any other provision herein or should the Indenture Trustee's
duties or obligations hereunder be unclear, and the Indenture Trustee shall
incur no liability in refraining from acting until it receives such
instructions. The Indenture Trustee shall be fully protected for acting in
accordance with any instructions received under this Section 6.08.
ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE BY OWNER TRUSTEE
SECTION 7.01. Scope of Indemnification. The Owner Trustee, not in its
individual capacity, but solely as Owner Trustee, hereby agrees, except as
otherwise provided in Section 2.03 hereof, to assume liability for, and does
hereby indemnify, protect, save and keep harmless the Indenture Trustee (in
its individual and trust capacities), and its successors, assigns, agents and
servants, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, taxes (excluding any taxes payable by the Indenture
Trustee on or measured by any compensation received by the Indenture Trustee
for its services under this Trust Indenture), claims, actions, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of
any kind and nature whatsoever, which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Indenture Trustee (whether or not also indemnified
against by any other Person under any other document) in any way relating to
or arising out of this Trust Indenture or any other Operative Document to
which it is a party or the enforcement of any of the terms of any thereof, or
in any way relating to or arising out of the manufacture, purchase,
acceptance, non-acceptance, rejection, ownership, delivery, lease,
possession, use, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition of
the Aircraft or any Engine (including, without limitation, latent or other
defects,
-52-
whether or not discoverable, and any claim for patent, trademark or copyright
infringement), or in any way relating to or arising out of the administration
of the Trust Indenture Estate or the action or inaction of the Indenture
Trustee hereunder, to the extent not reimbursed by Lessee. Without limiting
the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee agrees that, prior to seeking
indemnification from the Trust Indenture Estate, it will demand, and take
such action as it may in its discretion determine to be reasonable to pursue,
indemnification available to the Indenture Trustee under the Lease or the
Participation Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture
Trustee shall not be entitled to any indemnification for any Expenses to the
extent relating to or arising from the willful misconduct or gross negligence
(or negligence in the case of handling funds) of the Indenture Trustee in the
performance of its duties hereunder or resulting from the inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty of the Indenture Trustee (in its individual
capacity) referred to in Section 6.03 hereof, or as provided in Section 6.01
hereof or in the last sentence of Section 5.04 hereof, or as otherwise
excluded by the terms of Sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Participation
Agreement from Lessee's indemnities under such Sections. In addition, if
necessary, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification from
the Trust Indenture Estate for any liability, obligation, loss, damage,
penalty, claim, action, suit, cost, expense or disbursement indemnified
against pursuant to this Section 7.01 to the extent not reimbursed by Lessee
or others, but without releasing any of them from their respective agreements
of reimbursement; and to secure the same the Indenture Trustee shall have a
prior Lien on the Trust Indenture Estate.
ARTICLE VIII
SUCCESSOR AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES
SECTION 8.01. Notice of Successor Owner Trustee. In the case of any
appointment of a successor to the Owner Trustee pursuant to the Trust
Agreement including upon any merger, conversion, consolidation or sale of
substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee
pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the successor Owner Trustee shall give
prompt written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee, Lessee and the
Certificate Holders.
SECTION 8.02. Resignation of Indenture Trustee; Appointment of
Successor. (a) The Indenture Trustee or any successor thereto may resign at
any time without cause by giving at least 30 days' prior written notice to
Lessee, the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and each Certificate Holder,
such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of the trusteeship by a
successor Indenture Trustee. In addition, a Majority in Interest of
Certificate Holders may at any time (but only with the consent of Lessee,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that such consent
shall not be necessary if a Lease Event of Default is continuing) remove the
Indenture Trustee without cause by an instrument in writing delivered to the
Owner Trustee, Lessee, the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee, and
the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify each Certificate Holder thereof
in writing, such removal to be effective upon the acceptance of the
trusteeship by a successor Indenture Trustee. In the case of the resignation
or removal of the Indenture Trustee, a Majority in Interest of Certificate
Holders may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee by an instrument signed by
such holders, which successor, so long as no Lease Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing,
-53-
shall be subject to Lessee's reasonable approval. If a successor Indenture
Trustee shall not have been appointed within 30 days after such notice of
resignation or removal, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Owner
Participant or any Certificate Holder may apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint a successor Indenture Trustee to act until such time,
if any, as a successor shall have been appointed as above provided. The
successor Indenture Trustee so appointed by such court shall immediately and
without further act be superseded by any successor Indenture Trustee
appointed as above provided.
(b) Any successor Indenture Trustee, however appointed, shall execute
and deliver to the Owner Trustee, the predecessor Indenture Trustee and
Lessee an instrument accepting such appointment and assuming the obligations
of the Indenture Trustee under the Participation Agreement arising from and
after the time of such appointment, and thereupon such successor Indenture
Trustee, without further act, shall become vested with all the estates,
properties, rights, powers and duties of the predecessor Indenture Trustee
hereunder in the trust hereunder applicable to it with like effect as if
originally named the Indenture Trustee herein; but nevertheless upon the
written request of such successor Indenture Trustee, such predecessor
Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to
such successor Indenture Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed applicable
to it, all the estates, properties, rights and powers of such predecessor
Indenture Trustee, and such predecessor Indenture Trustee shall duly assign,
transfer, deliver and pay over to such successor Indenture Trustee all monies
or other property then held by such predecessor Indenture Trustee hereunder.
(c) Any successor Indenture Trustee, however appointed, shall be a bank
or trust company having its principal place of business in the Borough of
Manhattan, City and State of New York; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Chicago,
Illinois; Hartford, Connecticut; Wilmington, Delaware; or Boston,
Massachusetts and having (or whose obligations under the Operative Documents
are guaranteed by an affiliated entity having) a combined capital and surplus
of at least $100,000,000, if there be such an institution willing, able and
legally qualified to perform the duties of the Indenture Trustee hereunder
upon reasonable or customary terms.
(d) Any corporation into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee
shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate
trust business of the Indenture Trustee may be transferred, shall, subject to
the terms of paragraph (c) of this Section 8.02, be a successor Indenture
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee under this Trust Indenture without further
act.
SECTION 8.03. Appointment of Additional and Separate Trustees. (a)
Whenever (i) the Indenture Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable in
order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of
the Trust Indenture Estate shall be situated or to make any claim or bring
any suit with respect to or in connection with the Trust Indenture Estate,
this Trust Indenture, any other Indenture Agreement, the Secured Certificates
or any of the transactions contemplated by the Participation Agreement, (ii)
the Indenture Trustee shall be advised by counsel satisfactory to it that it
is so necessary or prudent in the interests of the Certificate Holders (and
the Indenture Trustee shall so advise the Owner Trustee and Lessee), or (iii)
the Indenture Trustee shall have been requested to do so by a Majority in
Interest of
-54-
Certificate Holders, then in any such case, the Indenture Trustee and, upon
the written request of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, shall
execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and such other
instruments as may from time to time be necessary or advisable either (1) to
constitute one or more bank or trust companies or one or more persons
approved by the Indenture Trustee, either to act jointly with the Indenture
Trustee as additional trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Trust
Indenture Estate, or to act as separate trustee or trustees of all or any
part of the Trust Indenture Estate, in each case with such rights, powers,
duties and obligations consistent with this Trust Indenture as may be
provided in such supplemental indenture or other instruments as the Indenture
Trustee or a Majority in Interest of Certificate Holders may deem necessary
or advisable, or (2) to clarify, add to or subtract from the rights, powers,
duties and obligations theretofore granted any such additional and separate
trustee, subject in each case to the remaining provisions of this Section
8.03. If the Owner Trustee shall not have taken any action requested of it
under this Section 8.03(a) that is permitted or required by its terms within
15 days after the receipt of a written request from the Indenture Trustee so
to do, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Indenture Trustee may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section
8.03(a) without the concurrence of the Owner Trustee; and the Owner Trustee
hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest)
the Indenture Trustee, its agent and attorney-in-fact to act for it under the
foregoing provisions of this Section 8.03(a) in either of such contingencies.
The Indenture Trustee may, in such capacity, execute, deliver and perform
any such supplemental indenture, or any such instrument, as may be required
for the appointment of any such additional or separate trustee or for the
clarification of, addition to or subtraction from the rights, powers, duties
or obligations theretofore granted to any such additional or separate
trustee. In case any additional or separate trustee appointed under this
Section 8.03(a) shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed,
all the assets, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of
such additional or separate trustee shall revert to the Indenture Trustee
until a successor additional or separate trustee is appointed as provided in
this Section 8.03(a).
(b) No additional or separate trustee shall be entitled to exercise any
of the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon the Indenture
Trustee in respect of the custody, investment and payment of monies and all
monies received by any such additional or separate trustee from or
constituting part of the Trust Indenture Estate or otherwise payable under
any Operative Document to the Indenture Trustee shall be promptly paid over
by it to the Indenture Trustee. All other rights, powers, duties and
obligations conferred or imposed upon any additional or separate trustee
shall be exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such additional
or separate trustee jointly except to the extent that applicable Law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed renders the
Indenture Trustee incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which
event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of
title to all or part of the Trust Indenture Estate in any such jurisdiction)
shall be exercised and performed by such additional or separate trustee. No
additional or separate trustee shall take any discretionary action except on
the instructions of the Indenture Trustee or a Majority in Interest of
Certificate Holders. No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, except that the
Indenture Trustee shall be liable for the consequences of its lack of
reasonable care in selecting, and Indenture Trustee's own actions in acting
with, any additional or separate trustee. Each
-55-
additional or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall
be subject to, and shall have the benefit of Articles IV through VIII and
Article X hereof insofar as they apply to the Indenture Trustee. The powers
of any additional or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 8.03
shall not in any case exceed those of the Indenture Trustee hereunder.
(c) If at any time the Indenture Trustee shall deem it no longer
necessary or desirable in order to conform to any such law or take any such
action or shall be advised by such counsel that it is no longer so necessary
or desirable in the interest of the Certificate Holders, or in the event that
the Indenture Trustee shall have been requested to do so in writing by a
Majority in Interest of Certificate Holders, the Indenture Trustee and, upon
the written request of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, shall
execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and all other
instruments and agreements necessary or proper to remove any additional or
separate trustee. The Indenture Trustee may act on behalf of the Owner
Trustee under this Section 8.03(c) when and to the extent it could so act
under Section 8.03(a) hereof.

payments until after the payment in full of all Secured Obligations or
otherwise adversely affect the Certificate Holders and (iii) the Owner

may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto to effect the

without the consent of any Certificate Holder for any of the following
