------------------------
shall have Actual Knowledge of any Lease Event of Default, any Indenture Event
of Default or any Event of Loss, the Owner Trustee shall give prompt telephonic
notice thereof (promptly confirmed in writing) to the Owner Participant, the
Lessee and the Indenture Trustee, unless (in the case of notice to the Indenture
Trustee or the Lessee) such Lease Event of Default, Indenture Event of Default
or Event of Loss, as the case may be, has been remedied before the giving of
such notice and the Owner Trustee has Actual Knowledge that such Lease Event of
Default, Indenture Event of Default or Event of Loss has been so remedied.
Subject to the terms of Section 6.3, the Owner Trustee shall, after the
occurrence of any such event, take or refrain from taking such action with
respect thereto, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Operative
Documents, as the Owner Trustee shall be instructed in writing by the Owner
Participant. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received instructions as above
provided within twenty (20) days after such notice of such event to the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee may, until it shall have received such
instructions and subject to the provisions of the Operative Documents, take such
action or refrain from taking such action (but shall be under no duty to take or
refrain from taking any action) with respect to such Lease Event of Default,
Indenture Event of Default or Event of Loss, as it shall deem advisable in the
best interests of the Owner Participant.
6.2 Action Upon Instructions. (a) Subject to the terms of
------------------------
Sections 6.1 and 6.3, upon the written instructions at any time and from time
to time of the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee shall take or refrain from
taking such action or actions, which actions shall not be inconsistent with
the provisions of any of the Operative Documents or the Owner Trustee Documents,
as may be specified in such instructions. In the event that the Owner Trustee
is unsure of the application of any provision of this Trust Agreement or any
other Owner Trustee Document, the Owner Trustee may request and rely upon
instructions of the Owner Participant.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2, the
Owner Trustee shall not, without instructions from the Owner Participant, (x)
-
exercise any
5
right to retain the Facility Assets under Section 7 of the Lease, (y) terminate
-
the Lease except pursuant to the last sentence of Section 6.1 or (z) consent to
-
or approve any action or document as being satisfactory to the Owner Trustee, or
waive any condition or the performance of any obligation in favor of the Owner
Trustee or the Trust Estate, or release the Lessee from any obligation under
the Operative Documents.
6.3 Indemnification. The Owner Trustee shall not be required to
---------------
take or refrain from taking any action under Section 6.1 or 6.2 (other than the
actions specified in the first sentence of Section 6.1) unless the Owner Trustee
shall have been indemnified by the Owner Participant, in manner and form
reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee, against any liability, fee, cost
or expense (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) which may
be incurred or charged in connection therewith, other than any such liability,
fee, cost or expense which results from the willful misconduct (including
without limitation willful breach of contract) or gross negligence of the Owner
Trustee, or the failure of the Owner Trustee to use ordinary care in the receipt
and disbursement of funds, and, if the Owner Participant shall have directed the
Owner Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action under any Operative
Document, the Owner Participant agrees to furnish such indemnity (subject to the
foregoing limitation) as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee,
and in addition, to the extent not otherwise paid pursuant to the terms of any
other Operative Document or Owner Trustee Document, to pay the reasonable
compensation of the Owner Trustee for the services performed or to be performed
by it pursuant to such direction as set forth in Section 8.2. The Owner Trustee
shall not be required to take any action under any Operative Document or any
Owner Trustee Document if the Owner Trustee reasonably shall determine, or shall
have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in
unindemnified personal liability to the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the
terms hereof or of any documents contemplated hereby to which the Owner
Trustee is a party, or otherwise contrary to law, and the Owner Trustee in such
case shall deliver promptly to the Owner Participant written notice of the basis
of its refusal to act.
6.4 No Duties Except as Specified. The Owner Trustee shall not
-----------------------------
have any power, right, authority, duty or obligation to manage, control, use,
make any payment in respect of, register, record, insure, inspect, sell, dispose
of or otherwise deal with the Facility, any of the Facility
6
Assets or any other part of the Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain
from taking any action under, or in connection with, any Owner Trustee Document
or any of the other Operative Documents, except as expressly provided by the
terms of this Trust Agreement, the other Operative Documents or the Owner
Trustee Documents or in written instructions from the Owner Participant received
pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2, and no implied duties or obligations shall be
read into this Trust Agreement against the Owner Trustee. Notwithstanding and
without limiting the foregoing, the Trust Company agrees that it will, in its
individual capacity and at its own expense, without any right to indemnification
hereunder, promptly take all action necessary to discharge and satisfy in full
any Lessor's Lien attributable to it in its individual capacity on any part of
the Trust Estate and will claim no indemnity therefor hereunder or under the
Participation Agreement or under any other Operative Document.

-
Trustee Document or (ii) expressly directed or authorized in written

tax returns. The Owner Trustee shall keep copies of all returns delivered to or
filed by it.

-------------------------
instructions furnished pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, and without limiting

LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE, except that the Trust
Company hereby represents and warrants that (i) on the Closing Date, the Owner
-
Trustee shall have received whatever right, title and/or interest in or to the
Facility as was conveyed to the Owner Trustee by Mobil Oil Corporation and (ii)
--
the Facility shall be free and clear of Lessor's Liens attributable to Trust
Company, and (b) neither the Trust Company nor the Owner Trustee makes any
representation or warranty as to the validity or enforceability of any Operative

by the Owner Trustee or the Trust Company and except that the Trust Company
hereby represents and warrants that this Trust Agreement has been duly executed

proper party or parties. Any request, direction, order or demand of the Owner

resolution of the Board of Directors or other governing body of any corporate
party as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such
body and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter
the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the
Owner Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on an Officer's Certificate of
the relevant party as to such fact or matter, and such Officer's Certificate
shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon. In the
administration of the trust hereunder, each of the Trust Company and the Owner
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform its powers
and duties hereunder directly or through agents or attorneys and may consult
with counsel, accountants and other skilled Persons to be selected and
employed
10
by it, and neither the Trust Company nor the Owner Trustee shall be liable for
anything done, suffered or omitted: (i) by such agents or attorneys appointed
-
by it in good faith, or (ii) in good faith by it in accordance with the advice
--
or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled Persons so long as
such advice or opinion pertains to such matters as the Owner Trustee may
reasonably presume to be within the scope of such Person's expertise.
7.6 Not Act in Individual Capacity. Except as provided in this
------------------------------
Trust Agreement, in accepting the trust hereby created the Owner Trustee agrees
to act solely as trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity, and all
Persons having any claim against the Owner Trustee by reason of the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents or the Owner Trustee Documents shall
look only to the Trust Estate (or a part thereof, as the case may be) for
payment or satisfaction thereof, except as specifically provided in this Trust

otherwise shall agree in any Owner Trustee Document.

12.1(a) of the Participation Agreement and (y) Sections 12.2(b)(2), 12.2(b)(5),
-
12.2(b)(10), 12.2(b)(11), 12.2(b)(15) (to the extent that any such Lien is
attributable to the Owner Participant) and 12.2(b)(17) (to the extent imposed
upon the Trust Company) of the Participation Agreement). The indemnities
contained in this Section 8.1 shall survive the termination of this Trust
Agreement. To secure the foregoing indemnities, the Owner Trustee shall be
entitled to apply any amount otherwise distributable to the Owner Participant
pursuant to Section 5.2 against any such indemnity which has not been paid when
due. The indemnities contained in this Section 8.1 extend to the Trust Company
only and shall not be construed as indemnities of the Trust Estate. The Trust
Company agrees that, before asserting any right to indemnification under this
Trust Agreement, in its individual capacity, or in its capacity as Owner
Trustee, it shall first demand and pursue by appropriate means, for a reasonable
period of time, its corresponding right to indemnifica-
12
tion, if any, pursuant to Section 12 of the Participation Agreement.
8.2 Compensation and Expenses. The Owner Trustee agrees that it
-------------------------
shall have no right against the Owner Participant or the Trust Estate for any
fee as compensation for its services or for its expenses, to the extent the
Lessee or the Lessor has paid such amounts pursuant to Section 2.9 or 12.1(f) of
the Participation Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Owner
Participant shall pay, or reimburse the Owner Trustee for, all reasonable
expenses of the Owner Trustee, together with reasonable compensation for its
services hereunder as provided herein, unless and to the extent that the Owner
Trustee otherwise receives payment or reimbursement pursuant to any Operative
Document, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.
Section 9. Termination of Trust Agreement.
------------------------------
9.1 Termination of Trust Agreement. Subject to the terms of the
------------------------------
Participation Agreement, the Lease, the Indenture and Sections 5 and 8.1, this
Trust Agreement and the trust created hereby shall terminate and the Trust
Estate shall be distributed to the Owner Participant, and this Trust Agreement
shall be of no further force or effect, upon the earlier of (i) the sale or
-
other final disposition by the Owner Trustee of all property constituting part
of the Trust Estate and the final distribution by the Owner Trustee of all
moneys or other property or proceeds constituting part of the Trust Estate in
accordance with the terms of Section 5 and (ii) 110 years less one day after the
--
earlier execution of this Trust Agreement by either the Trust Company or the
Owner Participant, but if any rights, privileges or options hereunder shall be
or become valid under applicable law for a period subsequent to such time (or,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if legislation shall become
effective providing for the validity or permitting the effective grant of such
rights, privileges and options for a period in gross exceeding the period for
which such rights, privileges and options are hereinabove stated to extend and
be valid), then such rights, privileges or options shall not terminate as afore-
said but shall extend to and continue in effect, but only if such nontermination
and extension shall then be valid under applicable law, until such time as the
same shall cease to be valid under applicable law.

9.2 Termination at Option of Owner Participant. The provisions of
------------------------------------------
Section 9.1 notwithstanding, but subject to Section 11.2, this Trust Agreement
and the trust created hereby shall terminate and the Trust Estate shall be
distributed to the Owner Participant, and this Trust Agreement shall be of no
further force and effect, upon the election of the Owner Participant by notice
to the Owner Trustee to revoke the trust created hereby; provided that, in
--------
addition to the giving of such notice, the Owner Participant, with the
cooperation of the Owner Trustee, shall execute and deliver such written
agreements and instruments and take such actions as shall be necessary in order
to cause the succession of the Owner Participant to all the rights, title,
interests, duties and liabilities of the Owner Trustee under the Operative
Documents (including without limitation the obligations of the Owner Trustee in
Section 5 herein and other than obligations attributable to any gross negligence
or willful misconduct of the Trust Company or any breach by the Owner Trustee of
its obligations under the Operative Documents); provided, however, that,
-------- -------
except in connection with the exercise of remedies by the Owner Trustee pursuant
to Section 16.1 of the Lease, no such termination shall occur without the
express written consent of the Lessee, and, prior to any such termination, the
Lien of the Indenture on the Indenture Estate shall have been released, and full
payment of the principal of or, premium (if any) and interest on the Secured
Notes shall have been made or the Indenture Trustee shall have consented to such
termination. In addition, the Owner Participant may not withdraw any part of
the Trust Estate subject to the Lien of the Indenture prior to the discharge of
such Lien with respect to such part of the Trust Estate without the express
written consent of the Indenture Trustee. The written agreements and
instruments referred to in the first proviso to the first sentence of this
Section 9.2 shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Owner
Trustee and shall release the Owner Trustee from all further obligations of the
Owner Trustee hereunder and under the agreements and other instruments mentioned
in the first sentence of this Section 9.2.
9.3 Distribution of Trust Estate Upon Termination. Upon any
---------------------------------------------
termination of the trust created hereby pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.2, the
Owner Trustee shall transfer title to the Trust Estate (and assign all its
right, title and interest in, to and under each Operative Document) to the Owner
Participant or its designee. No later than the effective date of termination of
the trust created hereby the Owner Trustee or its designee shall
14
execute and deliver to the Owner Participant a special warranty deed, xxxx of
sale and assignment and other written instrument or instruments prepared by the
Owner Participant in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner
Trustee evidencing the transfer of title to the Trust Estate to the Owner
Participant and, no later than the effective date of such termination, the Owner
Participant shall execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee a written
instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee
evidencing discharge of the Owner Trustee from its obligations hereunder and
under the other Operative Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a party
except those theretofore accrued and its obligations to release Lessor's Liens.

--------------------------
at any time without cause by giving at least thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to the Owner Participant, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee and the
Lessee, such resignation to be effective on the acceptance of appointment by a
successor to the Owner Trustee under paragraph (b) of this Section 10.1. In
addition, the Owner Participant at any time may remove the Owner Trustee without
cause by an instrument in writing delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee and the Lessee, such removal to be effective upon the acceptance of
appointment by a successor to the Owner Trustee under paragraph (b) of this
Section 10.1. In case of the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee, the
Owner Participant may appoint a successor to the Owner Trustee by an instrument
in writing, signed by the Owner Participant. If a successor to the Owner
Trustee shall not have been appointed within thirty (30) days after the giving
of written notice of such resignation or the delivery of the written instrument
with respect to such removal, the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, the
Indenture Trustee or the Lessee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction
to appoint a successor to the Owner Trustee reasonably acceptable to the Owner
Participant and the Lessee to act until such time, if any, as a successor shall
have been appointed as above provided in this Section 10.1. Any successor so
appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be
superseded by any successor to the Owner Trustee appointed as above provided
in this Section 10.1.
15
(b) Any successor Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and
deliver to the predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment and shall give the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee and
Lessee written notice of such acceptance. Upon the execution and delivery of
such instrument, such successor Owner Trustee, without further act (provided
that any required Governmental Actions have been obtained), shall become vested
with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and trusts of the
predecessor Owner Trustee in the trust hereunder with like effect as if
originally named an Owner Trustee herein; provided, however, that upon the
-------- -------
written request of such successor Owner Trustee, such predecessor Owner
Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Owner Trustee, upon the trust herein expressed, all estates, properties, rights,
powers, duties and trusts of such predecessor trustee as the Owner Trustee
hereunder, and such predecessor trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and
pay over to such successor Owner Trustee all moneys or other property then held
by such predecessor trustee as the Owner Trustee upon the trust herein
expressed, together with all the books and records maintained by such
predecessor trustee with respect to such trust pursuant to Section 6.6. Upon
the appointment of any successor Owner Trustee hereunder, the predecessor
trustee, pursuant to written instructions of the Owner Participant, will execute
all documents and take all reasonable action within its control in order to
cause such title held in the Trust Estate by such predecessor trustee to be
transferred to the successor Owner Trustee.
(c) Any successor to the Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall be a
bank or trust company incorporated and doing business within the United States
of America and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000,
reasonably acceptable to the Owner Participant and the Lessee, and regularly
engaged in or having expertise in leveraged leasing, if there be such an
institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of the
Owner Trustee hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms.
(d) Any corporation into which the Owner 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 Owner Trustee shall be
a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust
business of the Owner Trustee may be transferred, shall be, subject to
compliance with the terms
16
of paragraph (c) of this Section 10.1, the Owner Trustee under this Trust
Agreement without further act.
10.2 Additional and Separate Trustees. (a) If the Owner Trustee
--------------------------------
or the Owner Participant shall conclude that it is necessary or prudent in order
to conform to the law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Trust
Estate shall be situated, or to make or defend any claim or bring or defend any
suit with respect to the Trust Estate, the Secured Notes or any Operative
Document, or pursuant to advice of counsel satisfactory to it, or if the Owner
Trustee shall have been directed to do so by the Owner Participant, the Owner
Trustee shall appoint another Person to act as additional or separate trustee
for all or any part of the Trust Estate with such property, title, right, power
or duty as the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant may determine. In case
any such additional trustee or separate trustee shall resign or be removed, all
the assets, property, rights, powers or duties of such additional trustee or
separate trustee, as the case may be, so far as permitted by any applicable law,
shall vest in and be exercised by a new successor to such additional trustee,
appointed in the manner otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement.
(b) In the event that either the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee
shall determine to appoint another Person as additional or separate trustee,
the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant shall execute and deliver an
agreement supplemental hereto, and all other instruments and agreements
necessary or proper to constitute another bank or trust company, or one or more
Persons approved by the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant, either to act
as an additional trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Trust Estate,
jointly with the Owner Trustee, or to act as separate trustee or trustees of all
or any part of the Trust Estate, in any such case with such powers as may be
provided in such agreement supplemental hereto, and to vest in such bank, trust
company or Person as such additional trustee or separate trustee, as the case
may be, any property, title, right, or power deemed necessary or proper by the
Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant, subject to the remaining provisions of
this Section 10.2. In the event the Owner Participant shall not have joined in
the execution of such agreement supplemental hereto within fifteen (15) days
after the receipt of a written request from the Owner Trustee so to do without
providing a reasonable basis for such failure to join, the Owner Trustee may act
under the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2 without the con-
17
xxxxxxxx of the Owner Participant, and the Owner Participant hereby appoints the
Owner Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to act for the Owner Participant
under the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2 in the event of the occur.
rence of such contingency. The Owner Trustee may execute, deliver and perform
any deed, conveyance, assignment or other instrument in writing as may be
required by an additional trustee or separate trustee for more fully and cer-
tainly vesting in and confirming to such Person any property, title, right or
power which, by the terms of such agreement supplemental hereto, are expressed
to be conveyed or conferred to or upon such additional trustee or separate
trustee, and the Owner Participant shall, upon the Owner Trustee's request, join
therein and execute, acknowledge and deliver the same, and the Owner Participant
hereby appoints the Owner Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute,
acknowledge and deliver any such deed, conveyance, assignment or other
instrument in the event that such Owner Participant shall not itself execute
and deliver the same within fifteen (15) days after receipt by it of such
request so to do.
(c) Every additional trustee and separate trustee hereunder shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be appointed to act and the Owner Trustee shall act,
subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, all powers, duties,
obligations and rights conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee in
respect of the receipt, custody, management, investment and payment of
moneys, shall be exercised solely by the Owner Trustee;
(ii) all other rights, powers, duties, and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such additional trustee or
trustees and separate trustee or trustees jointly, except to the extent
that, under any law of the jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts
are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights,
powers, duties, and obligations (including the holding of title to the
Trust Estate in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by
such additional trustee or trustees or separate trustee or trustees;
18
(iii) no power hereby given to, or with respect to which it is hereby
provided may be exercised by, any such additional trustee or separate
trustee shall be exercised hereunder by such additional trustee or separate
trustee except jointly with, or with the consent of, the Owner Trustee and
(iv) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any
act or omission of any other trustee hereunder.
(d) If at any time the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant shall deem
it no longer necessary or prudent in order to conform to any applicable law or
shall be advised by its counsel that it is no longer necessary or prudent in the
interest of the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant to maintain the
appointment of such additional or separate trustee as provided herein, the Owner
Trustee and the Owner Participant shall execute and deliver any agreement
supplemental hereto and all other instruments and agreements necessary or proper
to remove any such additional or separate trustee. In the event that the Owner
Participant shall not have joined in the execution of such agreement
supplemental hereto, instruments and agreements, the Owner Trustee may act on
behalf of the Owner Participant to the same extent provided above in this
Section 10.2.
(e) Any additional trustee or separate trustee may at any time by an
instrument in writing constitute the Owner Trustee; its agent or attorney-in-
fact with full power and authority, to the extent which may be authorized by
applicable law, to do all acts and things and exercise all discretion which it
is authorized or permitted to do or exercise, for and in its behalf and in its
name. In case any such additional trustee or separate trustee shall die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the assets, property, rights,
powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such additional trustee or separate
trustee, as the case may be, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be
exercised by the Owner Trustee without necessity of any act by any party and
without the appointment of a new successor to such additional or separate
trustee, unless and until a successor is appointed in the manner provided in
this Section 10.2.
(f) Each additional or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this
Section 10.2 shall be subject to, and shall have the benefit of, Sections 6.1
through 6.7 and Sections 7.1, 8.1 and 11.2 insofar as they apply to the
19
Owner Trustee. No additional separate trustee shall be appointed pursuant to
this Section 10.2 without the consent of the Lessee, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld. No appointing of, or action by, any additional trustee
will relieve the Owner Trustee of any of its or his obligations hereunder or
under any other Operative Document.
