DEFINITIONS AND RULES OF CONSTRUCTION
Section 1.1 Definitions.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Section
1 of the Definitions Appendix attached hereto as Appendix I,
which shall be a part of this Indenture as if fully set forth in
this place.
Section 1.2 Rules of Construction.
The rules of construction for this Indenture are set forth
in Section 2 of the Definitions Appendix.
ARTICLE 2.
THE SECURITIES
Section 2.1 Designation, Form and Dating.
Provisions relating to the Initial Securities, the Private
Exchange Securities and the Exchange Securities are set forth in
the Rule 144A/Regulation S Appendix attached hereto as Appendix
II (the "Rule 144A Appendix") which is hereby incorporated in and
expressly made part of this Indenture. The Initial Securities and
the Trustee's certificate of authentication with respect to each
thereof shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to the
Rule 144A Appendix (with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as are required by this
Indenture) and are hereby incorporated in and expressly made a
part of this Indenture. The Exchange Securities, the Private
Exchange Securities, and the Trustee's certificates of
authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2 to
the Rule 144A Appendix (with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required by
this Indenture) and are hereby incorporated in and expressly made
a part of this Indenture. The
2
Securities may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon
such notations, legends or endorsements, not inconsistent with
the provisions of this Indenture, as may be required to comply
with any law or with any rules or regulations pursuant thereto,
or with the rules of any securities market in which the
Securities are admitted to trading, or to conform to general
usage. The Company shall approve the form of the Securities and
any notation, legend or endorsement on them. Each Security shall
be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest
from the applicable date set forth herein or in the form of
Security and shall be payable, unless previously Tendered, on the
dates as specified herein or in the form of the Security.
The Person in whose name any Security is registered at the
close of business on any Record Date with respect to any Interest
Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest and
Special Interest, if any, payable on such Interest Payment Date
to the extent provided by such Security, except if and to the
extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest
or Special Interest due on such Interest Payment Date, in which
case defaulted interest or Special Interest, as the case may be,
shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Outstanding
Security is registered at the close of business on the subsequent
record date (which shall be not less than five (5) Business Days
prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest)
established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the
Company to the Holders of Securities not less than fifteen (15)
days preceding such subsequent record date (a "Special Record
Date").
Section 2.2 Execution, Amount, Authentication and Delivery.
The Securities shall be signed for the Company by the manual
or facsimile signatures of an Officer and a Certifying Officer.
The Company's seal shall be affixed to or reproduced on the
Securities. Typographical or other errors or defects in any such
reproduction of the seal or any such signature shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of any Security which has been
duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.
If an officer whose signature is on a Security no longer
holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the
Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.
A Security shall not be valid until the Trustee manually
signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been
authenticated under this Indenture.
The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be
authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to
$14,500,000 except for Securities authenticated and delivered
upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu
of, other Securities pursuant to Sections 2.6, 2.7, 2.9, 4.15 or
9.5, or in conjunction with a Registered Exchange Offer or any
Private Exchange (as such terms are defined in the Rule 144A
Appendix).
The Securities shall be known and designated as the "10 1/4%
Senior Secured Notes due 2003" of the Company. Their Stated
Maturity shall be June 15, 2003, and, subject to the increases in
the rate of interest set forth in Section 4.12 hereof and in the
Securities, they shall bear interest at the rate of 10 1/4% per
annum, from June 16, 1998 or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest and Special Interest, if any, have
been paid or duly provided for,
3
as the case may be, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15
and December 15, commencing December 15, 1998, until the
principal thereof is paid or made available for payment.
Subject to the limits set forth in the second preceding
paragraph of this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate
Securities for original issue upon written order of the Company
signed by an Officer and by a Certifying Officer of the Company.
The order shall specify the amount of Securities to be
authenticated and the date on which the original issue of
Securities is to be authenticated, shall provide instructions
with respect to the delivery thereof and shall be accompanied by
the documents specified in Sections 10.2 and 11.4 and by the
following (provided, however, that the Trustee shall be
authorized conclusively to rely upon the documents specified in
Section 11.4):
(a) the grant to the Trustee, by assignment, pledge, or
otherwise pursuant to the Mortgage, of a security interest in the
Collateral;
(b) Officers' Certificates or other satisfactory
confirmation (i) with respect to the Mortgage and the Collateral,
that the Company is the legal and beneficial owner of the
Collateral, free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens;
and (ii) describing the actions taken to make, obtain and
accomplish all necessary filings, confirmations and
identifications referred to in Section 4.14 hereof;
(c) compliance with all applicable provisions of Sections
4.12 and 4.14 hereof;
(d) an Officers' Certificate confirming all representations
and warranties of the Company contained in this Indenture and the
other Operative Documents as of the date of authentication;
(e) an Officers' Certificate containing representations and
warranties of the type usual and customary to the issuance of the
Securities such as, but not limited to, representations regarding
due authorization of this Indenture; due authorization of the
issuance and delivery of the Securities; that the Securities,
when so issued and delivered against delivery of the Aircraft
under the Aircraft Sale Agreement will be duly and validly
issued, and constitute valid and binding obligations of the
Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms; that no
consent, approval or authorization of, or designation,
declaration, or filing with, any governmental authority or any
other person or entity is required of the Company in connection
with the execution and delivery of this Indenture or the issuance
and delivery of the Securities; and that the Securities have been
registered under the Securities Act or that registration is not
required in connection with the offer, issuance and delivery of
the Securities;
(f) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Company has
the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver
and perform its obligations under this Indenture and the other
Operative Documents; that the Securities have been duly
authorized and validly issued; and that the offer and issuance of
the Securities have been registered or will be exempt from the
registration requirements under the Securities Act; and
4
(g) execution and delivery by the Company of the Securities
and by all parties thereto of this Indenture and all other
Operative Documents;
provided, however, that any Securities in fact authenticated by
the Trustee upon written order of the Company as set forth in the
first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to have been
duly authenticated hereunder and to constitute an enforceable
contractual obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to
all the benefits of this Indenture and the other Operative
Documents equally and proportionately with any and all other
Securities duly authenticated and delivered hereunder, in each
case, notwithstanding any failure of the Company to deliver any
of the documents specified in Sections 10.2 and 11.4 or above in
this sentence.
The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form,
without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral
multiple thereof, except that the Global Securities may be issued
in a different denomination.
The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable
to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating
agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so.
Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee
includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent
has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company, any
guarantor or any Affiliate of the Company.
Section 2.3 Registrar and Paying Agent.
The Company shall maintain an office or agency where
Securities eligible for transfer or exchange may be presented for
registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar") and an
office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment or
repurchase ("Paying Agent"). The Registrar shall keep a register
of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange
("Register"). Such Register shall be in written form in the
English language or any other form capable of being converted
into such form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times
such Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The
Company may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more
additional paying agents. The term "Paying Agent" includes any
additional paying agent.
The Company may enter into an appropriate agency agreement
with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. Such agency
agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that
relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the
name and address of any such Agent. If the Company fails to
maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as
such.
The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and
Paying Agent.
Section 2.4 Paying Agent to Hold Payments In Trust.
Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of
Securityholders or the Trustee all Payments held by the Paying
Agent for the payment of principal of, repurchase or redemption
price, if any, of, interest on, and Special Interest, if any,
with respect to, the Securities (whether
5
such Payment has been paid to it by the Company or any other
obligor on the Securities), and shall promptly notify the Trustee
of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the
Securities) in making any such Payment. The Company at any time
may require a Paying Agent to Pay all Payments held by it to the
Trustee and account for any funds disbursed and the Trustee may
at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon
written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to
Pay all Payments held by it to the Trustee and to account for any
Payments distributed. Upon doing so the Paying Agent shall have
no further liability for the Payments.
If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying
Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of,
repurchase or redemption price, if any, of, interest on, or
Special Interest, if any, with respect to, any of the Securities,
segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto Payments sufficient to pay the principal,
repurchase or redemption price, if any, interest or Special
Interest, if any, so becoming due until such Payments shall be
Paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided,
and will promptly notify the Trustee of such action or any
failure so to act.
The Company will, on or before each due date for the payment
of the principal of, repurchase or redemption price, if any, of,
interest on, or Special Interest, if any, with respect to, any of
the Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent Payments (in same day
funds) sufficient to pay the principal, repurchase or redemption
price, if any, interest or Special Interest, if any, so becoming
due, such Payments to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such principal, repurchase or redemption
price, if any, interest, or Special Interest, if any, and (unless
such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly
notify the Trustee of such action or any failure so to act.
The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the
Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to
the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:
(a) hold all Payments received by it as such agent for the
payment of the principal of, repurchase or redemption price, if
any, of, interest on, or Special Interest, if any, with respect
to, the Securities (whether such Payments have been paid to it by
the Company or by any other obligor on the Securities) in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such
Payments shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of
as herein provided;
(b) promptly give the Trustee notice of any failure by the
Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) to make any
payment of the principal of, repurchase or redemption price, if
any, of, interest on, or Special Interest, if any, with respect
to, the Securities when the same shall be due and payable; and
(c) at any time during the continuance of any such failure,
upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the
Trustee all Payments so held in trust by such Paying Agent.
The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other
purpose, Pay, or direct any Paying Agent to Pay, to
6
the Trustee all Payments held in trust by the Company or such
Paying Agent, such Payments to be held by the Trustee upon the
same trusts as those upon which such Payments were held by the
Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such Payment by any
Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released
from all further liability with respect to such Payments held by
it as Paying Agent.
Any Payments deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent,
or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the
principal of, redemption or repurchase price, if any, of,
interest on or Special Interest, if any, with respect to, any
Security and unclaimed for two (2) years after such principal,
redemption, repurchase price, interest or Special Interest has
become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its
request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged
from such trust, unless otherwise required by mandatory
provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed
property law, and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter,
as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for
payment thereof and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying
Agent with regard to such Payments, and all liability of the
Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.
Section 2.5 Securityholder Lists.
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of
the names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not
the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee on or
before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the
Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such
date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and
addresses of Securityholders.
Section 2.6 Transfer and Exchange.
When Securities are presented to the Registrar or a
co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to
exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of
other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the
transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements
for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of
transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar's request.
All Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange,
redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Company or the
Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee, duly executed by the Holder or his
attorney duly authorized in writing. The Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or
other governmental charges in connection with any registration of
transfer or exchange, but not for any exchange pursuant to
Sections 2.9, 3.7, 4.15 or 9.5 or any other Tender not involving
any transfer of Securities (other than to the Company). No
service charge shall be made for any such transaction.
In the case of any Security which is Tendered in part only,
upon such Tender the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder
thereof, without service charge, a new Security or Securities of
any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in
aggregate principal amount equal to the non-
7
Tendered portion of the principal of such Security. No Securities
will be issued in denominations of less than $1,000 upon tender
of the Securities.
All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of
Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing
the same debt of the same series and entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon
such transfer or exchange.
Section 2.7 Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen
Securities.
In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become
mutilated, defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen,
subject to compliance with the following sentence and in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such
Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a
new Security, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding,
in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced
Security, or in lieu of and substitution for the Security so
apparently destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant
for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Company and to the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee such security
or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to indemnify
and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case
of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of
the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of
the ownership thereof.
Upon the issuance of any substitute Security pursuant to the
preceding paragraph, the Company may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may
be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In
case any Security which has matured or is about to mature, or has
been tendered for repurchase pursuant to any of the provisions
hereof (as evidenced by an irrevocable written notice from the
Holder to the Company and the Trustee), shall become mutilated or
defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company
may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize
the payment of such Security (without surrender of such Security
except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security), as
applicable, if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to
the Company and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company or
the Trustee such security or indemnity as any of them may
reasonably require to save each of them harmless from all risks,
however remote, and, in every case of apparent destruction, loss
or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee evidence to
their satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of
such Security and of the ownership thereof.
Every substitute Security issued pursuant to the provisions
of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Security is
apparently destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an
additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not
the apparently destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any
time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the
benefits of (but shall also be subject to all the limitations of
rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately
with any and all other Securities duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. Every substitute Security issued pursuant to
the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any
Security is mutilated or defaced shall constitute an additional
contractual obligation of
8
the Company and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but
shall also be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth
in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all
other Securities of the same series duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon
the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the
foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated or defaced or apparently
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude any and
all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute
existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the
replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other
securities without their surrender.
Section 2.8 Treasury Securities.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal
amount of Securities have given or concurred in any amendment,
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or
waiver under this Indenture or any other Operative Document,
Securities owned by the Company (including Securities Tendered),
an Affiliate of the Company, any other obligor upon the
Securities, any Affiliate of such obligor upon the Securities or
any Person who has given or concurred in any such amendment,
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or
waiver under the direction of, by agreement with, or as a
condition or in consideration of any exchange offer by or
transfer of such Person's Securities to the Company, an Affiliate
of the Company, any other obligor, any Affiliate of such obligor
or any such Person, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be
Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except
that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall
be protected in relying on any such amendment, request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only
Securities which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good
faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes
to the satisfaction of the Trustee that neither the Company nor
any such other obligor, Affiliate or Person is affiliated with
the pledgee or any Affiliate of the pledgee and that the pledgee
has the present right (subject to no contrary obligation or
understanding) so to act with respect to the Securities on the
basis of its best interests as a Holder independently of any
direction by or interest of the Company. In case of a dispute as
to such right, the Trustee in good faith shall be entitled to
rely upon the advice of counsel, including counsel for the
Company. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall promptly
furnish to the Trustee a certificate of a Certifying Officer
listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the
Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the
above-described Persons; and subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2
herein, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such certificate
as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the
fact that all Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for
the purpose of any such determination. The Company shall not,
directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any remuneration,
whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or
otherwise, or grant any additional security, to any Holder of
Securities as consideration for or as an inducement to giving or
concurring in any amendment, request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Indenture or any
other Operative Document unless such remuneration is concurrently
paid, or such security is concurrently granted, as the case may
be, on the same terms ratably to the Holders of all Securities
then Outstanding (regardless of whether any such Holder has given
or concurred in such amendment, request, demand,
9
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this
Indenture or any other Operative Document).
For purposes of this Section and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Securities which are subject to a
binding contract or irrevocable tender offer (including an offer
which is in any way conditioned upon or simultaneous with, or
requires as a condition precedent (whether by contract or
otherwise) or which cannot be effected without, the agreement or
consent of the transferor to any amendment, request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder)
pursuant to which ownership (direct or indirect) is to be
transferred (including for example, Securities tendered to the
Company or any other Person in an exchange transaction) shall be
deemed owned by such transferee, and therefore, any such
simultaneous agreement or consent by the transferor shall be
invalid.
Section 2.9 Temporary Securities.
Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the
Company may prepare, and, upon written order of the Company, the
Trustee shall authenticate, temporary Securities in any
authorized denominations. Temporary Securities shall be
substantially in the form of definitive Securities of the same
series but may have variations that the Company reasonably
considers appropriate and necessary for temporary Securities.
Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Securities in
exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series.
Section 2.10 Cancellation.
The Company may at any time deliver Securities to the
Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent
shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them
for transfer, exchange (including without limitation, Initial
Securities exchanged for Exchange Securities, Private Exchange
Securities or both), repurchase or payment. All Securities
purchased pursuant to any Offer to Purchase shall be canceled.
The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities
surrendered for transfer, exchange, repurchase or cancellation.
The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it
has paid (upon Tender or otherwise) or which have been delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall destroy all
canceled Securities and, if requested, deliver a certificate of
such destruction to the Company. If the Company shall acquire any
of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities
unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation.
Section 2.11 Defaulted Interest; Interest on Defaulted
Principal.
If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on, or
Special Interest, if any, with respect to, the Securities, it
shall pay the defaulted interest or Special Interest, as the case
may be, plus interest on such defaulted interest or Special
Interest, at the rate then borne by the Securities to the extent
permitted by law and the terms thereof, to the persons who are
Securityholders on a subsequent Special Record Date. The Company
shall fix the Special Record Date and payment
10
date. At least fifteen (15) days before the Special Record Date,
the Company shall mail to each Securityholder a notice that
states the Special Record Date, the payment date and the amount
of defaulted interest or Special Interest, as the case may be, to
be paid. If the Company defaults in the payment of principal on
the Securities (whether on acceleration, at maturity, upon tender
for repurchase, or otherwise), it shall pay interest on such
defaulted principal at the rate then borne by the Securities to
the Trustee upon demand. The Trustee shall apply any such payment
in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10.
Section 2.12 CUSIP Numbers.
The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP"
numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall
use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption and may use such
numbers in other notices to Holders regarding the Securities, in
each case as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that
any such notice may state that no representation is made as to
the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the
Securities or as contained in any such notice and that reliance
may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on
the Securities, and any such redemption or other notice shall not
be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.
ARTICLE 3.
REDEMPTIONS
Section 3.1 No Optional Redemption.
The Securities Outstanding shall not at any time be subject
to redemption in whole or in part at the option of the Company.
Section 3.2 Mandatory Redemption.
Subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.2, the
Company shall, until all the Securities are paid or payment
thereof has been provided for, deposit in accordance with Section
3.6, at least one Business Day prior to June 15 in each year,
commencing June 15, 2001 (each such date being hereinafter
referred to as a "Mandatory Redemption Date"), an amount in cash
sufficient to redeem an aggregate principal amount of Securities
(the "Mandatory Redemption Amount") equal to $920,000 on each of
June 15, 2001 and June 15, 2002 (or, if the aggregate principal
amount of Securities Outstanding on any such Mandatory Redemption
Date is less than the principal amount required to so be
redeemed, then all the Outstanding Securities shall be redeemed
on such date), at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage
of principal amount of 100% plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Special Interest, if any, to the Mandatory Redemption Date
(subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record
date to receive interest and Special Interest, if any, due on the
relevant Interest Payment Date). Each such deposit shall be
applied to the redemption of Securities on such Mandatory
Redemption Date as herein provided. The Trustee shall, on or
before the thirtieth day prior to such Mandatory Redemption Date
(but not sooner than 45 days before such date), select, in the
manner provided
11
in Section 3.3, the Securities to be redeemed on the next
Mandatory Redemption Date and cause notice of the redemption
thereof to be given in the name and at the expense of the Company
in the manner provided in Section 3.4. Such notice having been
duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon
the terms and in the manner set forth in Sections 3.5 and 3.7.
At its option the Company may at any time reduce its
obligation to pay any Mandatory Redemption Amount in cash by
delivering to the Trustee at least 45 days before the related
Mandatory Redemption Date (i) Securities which have been acquired
by the Company in open market purchases (and, for avoidance of
doubt, not acquired by way of any redemption or Offer to Purchase
hereunder) and have not been called for redemption under any
provision of this Indenture, together with (ii) an Officers'
Certificate directing the Trustee to cancel the Securities and
stating the election of the Company to have credited against such
Mandatory Redemption Amount on such Mandatory Redemption Date a
specified principal amount of Securities so delivered. Each such
Officers' Certificate shall state that the Securities forming the
basis of such credit do not include any Securities theretofore
credited against any Mandatory Redemption Amount pursuant to this
Section 3.2. All Securities made the basis of a credit against a
Mandatory Redemption Amount shall be credited at 100% of their
principal amount. Although the Company may obtain credit against
any Mandatory Redemption Amount in advance of the related
Mandatory Redemption Date as provided herein, any such credit
shall be applied against such Mandatory Redemption Amounts in the
order in which they become due.
In case of the failure of the Company to deliver such
Officers' Certificate, the Mandatory Redemption Amount due on
such Mandatory Redemption Date shall be paid entirely in cash
without the option to reduce the Company's obligation to make
such payment as specified in this Section 3.2.
The obligations of the Company under this Section 3.2 shall
be automatically terminated in the event that the Aircraft is
sold in accordance with Section 4.12(c) or is the subject of a
Total Loss, provided, that in each case, the Company has complied
in full with the applicable provisions of Section 4.12 with
respect to such sale or Total Loss, as the case may be. The
effective date of any such termination shall be the Payment Date
with respect to the related Offer to Purchase (so long as the
Company does not default in the payment of the purchase price
with respect to such Offer to Purchase); provided, however, that
such termination shall not apply to any Mandatory Redemption
Amount for which a notice of redemption has been given under this
Section 3.2 on or prior to such effective date.
On or after any Mandatory Redemption Date and upon Request
(and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing), the Trustee shall promptly return to the Company any
funds it is holding under this Section 3.2 in excess of the
Mandatory Redemption Amount (as reduced pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 3.2) related to such Mandatory
Redemption Date and shall promptly authenticate and mail to the
Company a new Security or Securities in an aggregate principal
amount equal to that portion (if any) of the Securities delivered
to the Trustee and not used by the Company as a credit under this
Section 3.2 (provided, however, that the Company has previously
delivered to the Trustee sufficient executed Securities to enable
the Trustee to so authenticate such Securities).
12
Section 3.3 Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.
If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the
Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed on either a
pro rata basis or by lot. The Trustee shall make the selection
from Securities outstanding not previously called for redemption.
The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal
of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000.
Securities and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of
$1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture
that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to
portions of Securities called for redemption.
Section 3.4 Notice of Redemption.
The notice of redemption shall be mailed by first-class mail
to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed.
The notice shall identify the Securities and the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state:
(a) the principal amount of each Security held by each
such Holder to be redeemed;
(b) the redemption date;
(c) the redemption price (including the amount of
accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to
be paid on the Securities called for redemption);
(d) if any Security is being redeemed in part, the
portion of the principal amount of such Security to be
redeemed and that, after the redemption date, upon surrender
of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal
amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued;
(e) the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(f) that Securities called for redemption must be
surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption
price;
(g) that, unless the Company defaults in making the
redemption payment, interest on the Securities to be
redeemed ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date
and the only remaining right of the Holders of such
Securities is to receive payment of the redemption price
upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Securities.
The Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent for purposes of
this Article 3.
Section 3.5 Effect of Notice of Redemption.
Once a notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called for
redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the
redemption price and, on and after such date (unless the
13
Company shall default in the payment of the redemption price),
such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender to
the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption
price plus accrued interest and Special Interest, if any, to the
redemption date.
Section 3.6 Deposit of Redemption Price.
On or before 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on any redemption
date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in
funds immediately available on such redemption date sufficient to
pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on and Special
Interest, if any, with respect to, all Securities to be redeemed
on that date.
Section 3.7 Securities Redeemed in Part.
Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the
Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security equal in
principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security
surrendered.
ARTICLE 4.

Special Interest, if any, due and payable on the Securities shall
be paid in cash, except that the Company may at its option, make
such Payments by check mailed to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as it appears in the Register; provided,
however, that such Payments on a certificated Security will be
made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by a
Holder with a bank in New York City if such Holder owns at least
$250,000 in aggregate principal amount of certificated Securities
and elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to
the Company and the Trustee to such effect designating such

due date for payment (or such other date as the Company and the
Trustee may accept in their discretion).
An installment of principal, interest or Special Interest,

Office.
The Company may also from time to time designate one or more
other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented
or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to
time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such
designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company
of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York, for such purposes. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
such designation or rescission and of any change in the location
of any such other office or agency.

shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and
keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the
corporate existence of each of its Subsidiaries engaged in
substantial business activity each in accordance with the
respective organizational documents of the Company and each such
Subsidiary and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses,
permits, approvals and governmental franchises of the Company and
each such Subsidiary necessary to the conduct of its respective
business; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or to
preserve the corporate existence of any such Subsidiary, if the
Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof
is no longer in the interest of the Company and that termination
of the corporate existence is not disadvantageous to the Holders
in any material respect.

the same shall become delinquent, (a) all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company and each
Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or Property of the Company
and each Subsidiary or upon the Collateral and (b) all lawful
claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might
by law become a
16
Lien upon the Collateral or the other Property of the Company or
a Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company or a
Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall not be required to pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim (i) the amount, applicability or
validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings as permitted by and in accordance with the provisions

which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with
GAAP, as in effect from time to time, or (ii) if the Company
delivers to the Trustee a Certificate of an Officer stating that
such non-payment and non-discharge is in the interest of the
Company and not prejudicial in any material respect to the
Holders.
Nothing contained herein or in the Securities shall be
deemed to impose on the Trustee or on the Company any obligation
to pay on behalf of the Holder of any Securities any tax,
assessment or governmental charge required by any present or
future law of the U.S. or of any state, county, municipality or
other taxing authority thereof to be paid on behalf of, or
withheld from the amount payable to, the Holder of any
Securities; rather any tax, assessment or governmental charge

the following promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business

(a) In the event that any Indebtedness of the Company or any
Significant Subsidiary of the Company in a principal amount in
excess of $10,000,000 (i) is declared due and payable before its
stated maturity because of the occurrence of any default (or any
event which, with notice or the lapse of time, or both, shall
constitute such default) under such Indebtedness or (ii) is not
paid at its stated maturity; or
(b) Any litigation, arbitration proceeding or governmental
proceeding involving damages or potential liability in excess of
$10,000,000 is instituted against the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries which, if adversely determined, would have a
material adverse effect on the business, operations or financial
condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
Section 4.7 Maintenance of Properties and Insurance.
Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Company
shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, cause all
Collateral and other Properties owned by or leased to it and used
or useful in the conduct of the business of the Company or any
such Subsidiary, as the case may be, to be maintained and kept in
good repair, working order and condition, except for reasonable
wear and use, and supplied with all necessary equipment and shall
cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements,
betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of
the Company may be necessary, so that the business carried on in
connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted
at all times, except, in every case, as and to the extent
17
that the Company or any such Subsidiary may be prevented by fire,
strikes, lockouts, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or
materials, governmental restrictions, enemy action, civil
commotion or unavoidable casualty or similar causes beyond the
control of the Company or such Subsidiary; provided, however,
that subject to all requirements of the Operative Documents,
nothing in this Section 4.7 shall prevent the Company or any such
Subsidiary from discontinuing the use, operation or maintenance
of any such Properties, or disposing of any of them, if such
discontinuance or disposal is, in the good faith judgment of an
Officer of the Company (or other agent employed by the Company)
having managerial responsibility for any such Property (or, in
the case of any materially important item, with respect to
operations or value, in the good faith judgment of the Company as
expressed in a resolution of the Board of Directors), desirable
in the conduct of the Company's business or that of its
Subsidiaries.
For so long as any Collateral or Property is deemed to be
useful to the conduct of the business of the Company or its
Subsidiaries, the Company shall, or shall cause such Subsidiaries
to, maintain appropriate insurance, in accordance with industry
practice, on such Collateral and Properties and as required under
the provisions of the applicable Operative Documents.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.7, to the
extent there exists any inconsistency between the provisions
hereof and the provisions of the Mortgage relating to Property
which constitutes Collateral, the provisions of the Mortgage
shall prevail as to all Collateral.
Section 4.8 Default Notices and Compliance Certificates.
Contemporaneously with furnishing quarterly financial
reports to the Trustee under Section 4.9(a) or mailing quarterly
statements to the Trustee and Holders under Section 4.9(c), the
Company shall furnish to the Trustee a Certifying Officer's

not, to the knowledge of the signer after due inquiry, the
Company is in compliance with all conditions and covenants under
this Indenture and the Operative Documents (determined without
regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice), and if
the Company is not in compliance with all such conditions and

prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the SEC
pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company
also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA ss. 314(a).
(b) So long as any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the
Company shall cause its annual report to stockholders and any
quarterly or other financial reports furnished by it to

will prepare or cause to be prepared, for each of the first three
(3) quarters of each fiscal year, an unaudited balance sheet of
the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the end of
such quarter and related unaudited consolidated statements of

accepted accounting principles, as in effect from time to time,
consistently applied, except for changes with which the Company's
independent public accountants concur and except that quarterly

within forty-five (45) days after the close of each of the first
three (3) quarters of each fiscal year and within one hundred
twenty (120) days after the close of each fiscal year, to the
addresses set forth in Section 11.2 or, in the case of each of
the Holders, to such Holder's address as set forth in the

Section 4.10 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.
The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do
so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any
manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to
be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or
extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit
or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the
principal of, interest on, or Special Interest, if any, with
respect to, the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture and the
Operative Documents; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do
so) the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage
of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or
impede the execution of any power granted to the Trustee herein
and in the Operative Documents, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been
enacted.

Securities in an aggregate principal amount (the "Sale OTP
Amount") equal to the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities Outstanding on the date of the commencement of
such Offer to Purchase, at a purchase price (expressed as a
percentage of principal amount of Securities to be
purchased) equal to (1) 102%, if such Offer to Purchase is
commenced prior to the first anniversary of the Issue Date,
or (2) 101%, if such Offer to Purchase is commenced on or
after the first anniversary of the Issue Date, plus, in
either case, accrued and unpaid interest and Special
Interest, if any, on such Securities to and including the
Payment Date;
20
(B) the Company shall have given the Trustee prior
notice of the pending sale of the Aircraft (which notice
shall be given by the Company at least 15 days prior to the
date of commencement of the Offer to Purchase);
(C) the Company shall have deposited with the Trustee
an amount in cash equal to the purchase price with respect
to the Offer to Purchase for the Aircraft on or prior to the
date of sale of the Aircraft (which cash amount shall remain
on deposit with the Trustee until the payment of the
purchase price on the applicable Payment Date with respect
to such Offer to Purchase); and
(D) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing or would result from the sale of the Aircraft.
(ii) Effective as of the day immediately following the
Payment Date with respect to the Offer to Purchase in
connection with a sale of the Aircraft, the interest rate
borne by the Securities then Outstanding shall be
automatically, without any further act or deed, increased by
1.50% per annum. Any such increase shall be in addition to
Special Interest, if any, then accruing with respect to such
Security which Special Interest shall continue to accrue in
accordance with the provisions of such Security.
(iii) Upon Request by the Company, payment by the Company of
the Trustee's costs (including reasonable legal fees and
disbursements) incurred in complying with such Request and
satisfaction of the requirements of Section 4.12(c)(i), the
Trustee shall release from the Lien of the Operative
Documents, all right, title and interest of the Trustee in and
to the Collateral and shall (so long as no Event of Default
then exists) promptly after the Payment Date with respect to
any Offer to Purchase made in connection with such sale,
return to the Company any cash held in excess of the purchase
price of the Securities tendered for purchase in connection
with such Offer to Purchase. The Trustee may enter into any
arrangements (including, without limitation, escrow
arrangements) as it shall deem necessary or desirable to
accomplish the intents and purposes of this Section 4.12(c).
(d) In the event that there shall occur a Total Loss with
respect to the Aircraft, the Company shall (subject to the
provisions of Section 4.12(e)) make an Offer to Purchase an
aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities (the
"Total Loss OTP Amount") equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the Securities Outstanding on the date such Offer to
Purchase is required to be commenced hereunder, at a purchase
price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of
Securities to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest
and Special Interest, if any, on such Securities, to and
including the Payment Date. The Company shall commence such
Offer to Purchase within thirty (30) days after the Total Loss
Date with respect to any such Total Loss. Upon Request by the
Company and payment by the Company of the purchase price with
respect to such Offer to Purchase and the Trustee's costs
(including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred
in complying with such Request, the Trustee shall release from
the Lien of the Operative Documents, all right, title and
interest of the Trustee in and to the Collateral.
21
(e) At its option the Company may reduce in whole or in part
its obligation to pay the Sale OTP Amount or Total Loss OTP
Amount in cash by delivering to the Trustee at least 15 days
before the date the related Offer to Purchase is or would be
required to be commenced under Section 4.12(c) or Section
4.12(d), as the case may be, (i) Securities which have been
acquired by the Company in open market purchases (and, for
avoidance of doubt, not acquired by way of any redemption or
Offer to Purchase hereunder) and have not been called for
redemption under any provision of this Indenture, together
with (ii) an Officers' Certificate directing the Trustee to
cancel such Securities and stating the election of the Company
to have credited against such Sale OTP Amount or Total Loss
OTP Amount, as the case may be, a specified principal amount
of Securities so delivered. All Securities made the basis of a
credit against a Sale OTP Amount or Total Loss OTP Amount
shall be credited at 100% of their principal amount. In case
of the failure of the Company to deliver such Officers'
Certificate, the Sale OTP Amount or Total Loss OTP Amount, as
the case may be, due on the Payment Date therefor shall be
paid entirely in cash without the option to reduce the
Company's obligation to make such payment as specified in this
Section 4.12(e). The Trustee shall promptly authenticate and
mail to the Company a new Security or Securities in an
aggregate principal amount equal to that portion (if any) of
the Securities delivered to the Trustee and not used by the
Company as a credit under this Section 4.12(e) (provided, that
the Company has previously delivered to the Trustee sufficient
executed Securities to enable the Trustee to so authenticate
such Securities).
Section 4.13 Books, Records, Access; Confidentiality.
(a) The Company shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain complete and accurate books and
records in which full and correct entries in conformity with GAAP

make copies and take extracts therefrom and to visit and inspect
the Collateral, all upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable
times during normal business hours and as often as may be
reasonably requested.
(b) The Trustee and its authorized representatives referred
to in clause (a) above agree not to use any information obtained
pursuant to this Section 4.13 for any purpose other than as
required in order to discharge their respective duties hereunder
and under the Operative Documents and except as otherwise
required for such purpose to keep confidential and not to
disclose any such information to any person except that (i) the
recipient of the information may disclose any information which
becomes publicly available other than as a result of disclosure
by such recipient, (ii) the recipient of the information may
disclose any information which its counsel reasonably concludes
is necessary to be disclosed by law or legal process, pursuant to
any court or administrative order or ruling or in any pending
legal or administrative proceeding or investigation after notice
to the Company adequate, subject to applicable laws, to allow the
Company to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy,
provided that the recipient of the information will (if not
otherwise required in order to discharge its duties as aforesaid)
22
cooperate at the Company's expense with the Company's efforts to
obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that
confidential treatment will be accorded any such information
required to be so disclosed, and (iii) the recipient of the
information may disclose any information necessary to be
disclosed pursuant to any provision of the TIA.
Section 4.14 Security Interests.
The Company and its Subsidiaries shall perform any and all
acts and execute any and all documents (including, without
limitation, the execution, amendment or supplementation of any
financing statement and continuation statement or other
statement) for filing under the provisions of the Federal
Aviation Act and the applicable Uniform Commercial Code and the
rules and regulations thereunder or any other statute, rule or
regulation of any applicable federal, state or local
jurisdiction, which are necessary or advisable, from time to
time, in order to grant and maintain in favor of the Trustee for
the benefit of the Holders a valid, perfected Lien on the
Collateral.
The Company and its Subsidiaries shall deliver or cause to
be delivered to the Trustee from time to time such other
documentation, consents, authorizations, approvals and orders in
form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee as it shall deem
reasonably necessary or advisable to perfect or maintain the
Liens for the benefit of the Holders.
Section 4.15 Repurchase of Securities Upon a Change in
Control.
(a) In the event that there shall occur a Change in Control,
the Company shall make an Offer to Purchase all of the
Outstanding Securities, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding, plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to and
including the repurchase date. The right to require such
repurchase of Securities shall not continue after a discharge of
the Company from its obligations with respect to the Securities
in accordance with Article 8.
(b) The Company shall commence such Offer to Purchase within
thirty (30) days after the occurrence of a Change in Control.
Section 4.16 Restrictions on Becoming an Investment Company.

the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as such statute
and the regulations thereunder and any successor statute or

of the initial Exchange Offer Registration Statement and (ii) the
effectiveness of the initial Shelf Registration Statement, in
either case, filed under (and as defined in) the Registration

efforts to cause the Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange
Securities to be listed on the American Stock Exchange, or such
other stock exchange or market
23
as the Common Stock of the Company is then principally traded,
provided, that such Securities meet the minimum requirements for
listing on any such exchange or market, and, if applicable, to
use its reasonable best efforts to maintain such listing for so
long as any of the Exchange Securities or Private Exchange
Securities are Outstanding.

into, or convey or transfer (excluding by way of lease) all or
substantially all of its Properties (as determined at the time of
such transfer without regard to any prior conveyance or transfer
or series of conveyances or transfers made on unrelated
transactions) to any other Person, or permit any Person to
convey, lease or transfer all or substantially all of its
Properties to the Company, unless:
(a) The Company shall be the continuing Person or the Person
(if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into
which the Company is merged or to which all or substantially all
of the Properties of the Company are conveyed or transferred (the
"surviving Person"): (i) shall be a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the United States of America or any
state thereof or the District of Columbia; (ii) shall expressly
assume prior to or simultaneously with the consummation of such
transaction, by an indenture and other agreements supplemental
hereto and to the Operative Documents, executed and delivered to
the Trustee in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the
due and punctual payment of the principal of, interest on and
Special Interest, if any, with respect to, all the Securities and
the observance and performance of every covenant, condition and
obligation of this Indenture, the Securities and the Operative
Documents on the part of the Company to be observed or performed;
(b) Immediately before and immediately after giving effect
to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing hereunder;
(c) In the case of any such conveyance or transfer, such
conveyance or transfer includes, without limitation, all of the
Collateral and in any event such consolidation, merger,
conveyance or transfer shall be on such terms as shall fully
preserve the Lien and security of each of the Operative
Documents, the priority thereof purported to be established
thereby and the rights and powers of the Trustee and the Holders
of the Securities under each of the Operative Documents; and
(d) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'

merger, consolidation, transfer, conveyance, or acquisition of
assets and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the
terms of this Indenture, (ii) this Indenture and the Securities
constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the
24
surviving Person, and (iii) this Indenture and the other
Operative Documents are enforceable against the surviving Person
in accordance with their terms.
Section 5.2 Successor Person Substituted.
Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance or
transfer (excluding by way of lease) of all or substantially all
of the Properties of the Company in accordance with Section 5.1,
the surviving entity formed by such consolidation or into which
the Company is merged or the surviving entity to which such
conveyance or transfer is made shall succeed to, and be
substituted for, and be bound by and obligated to pay the
obligations of, and may exercise every right and power of, the
Company under this Indenture, the Securities and the Operative
Documents with the same effect as if such successor had been
named as the Company herein and therein, but the predecessor
Company in the event of any such conveyance or transfer shall not
be released from the obligation to pay the principal of, interest
on and Special Interest, if any, with respect to the Securities.
Such surviving entity may cause to be signed, and may issue
either in its own name or in the name of the Company prior to
such succession any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder

delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such surviving
entity, instead of the Company, and subject to all the terms,

Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities which
previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers
of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any
Securities which such surviving entity thereafter shall cause to
be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All of
the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same
legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities
theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of
this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued
at the date of the execution hereof.
In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
conveyance such changes in phraseology and form (but not in
substance) may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued
as may be appropriate.

ARTICLE 6.
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 6.1 Events of Default.
An "Event of Default" occurs if:
25
(a) the Company defaults in the payment of interest on, or
Special Interest, if any, with respect to, any Security when the
same becomes due and payable and the default continues for thirty
(30) days;
(b) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal
amount of any Securities when the same becomes due and payable at
maturity, upon acceleration, redemption, tender for repurchase or
otherwise;
(c) the Company fails to comply with the agreements or
covenants contained in Sections 3.2, 4.3 or 4.12 hereof, takes or
agrees to take any action prohibited by Section 5.1 hereof,
discontinues or agrees to discontinue substantially all of its
commercial airlines operations or fails to comply with the
covenants contained in Sections 3, 6.3, 6.5 or 6.8 of the
Mortgage within the time periods (if any) provided therein;
(d)(i) the Company fails in any material respect to comply
with any of its other agreements contained in the Securities,
this Indenture or the other Operative Documents or (ii) any
representation or warranty made by the Company in this Indenture,
the other Operative Documents or any Mortgage Supplement or in
any certificate of the Company delivered hereunder or under any
such document shall prove to have been untrue in any material
respect when made, and in any such case such default continues
for the period and after the notice specified below;
(e) there shall be a default or an event under or with
respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries in excess of $10,000,000 in principal
amount, whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter
be created, and the effect of any such default or event is to
cause the principal amount of any such Indebtedness to become
due, to have the date of payment thereof fixed prior to its
stated maturity or the date it would otherwise become due and
while any Securities are Outstanding, or to be unpaid at maturity
while any Securities are Outstanding;
(f) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries
pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (as
hereinafter defined):
(i) commences a voluntary case or proceeding,
(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief
against it in an involuntary case or proceeding,
(iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian (as
hereinafter defined) of it or for all or substantially all
of its Property,
(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or
(v) generally is unable to pay its debts as the same
become due;
26
(g) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or
decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
(i) is for relief against the Company or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or
proceeding,
(ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries for all or substantially all of its
properties, or
(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of
its Significant Subsidiaries,
and in each case the order and decree remains unstayed and in
effect for sixty (60) consecutive days;
(h) final, non-appealable judgments for the payment of
money, which judgments, in the aggregate, exceed $10,000,000
shall be rendered against the Company or any of its Significant
Subsidiaries by a court of competent jurisdiction and remain
undischarged, unstayed and unsatisfied for the period and after
the notice specified below; or
(i) any of the Operative Documents ceases, without the
consent of the Trustee, to be in full force and effect.
The term "Bankruptcy Law" means Title 11, U.S. Code or any
similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term
"Custodian" means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator,
sequestrator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.
A Default under clause (d), (e) or (h) of this Section 6.1
is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the
Company, or the Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding notify
the Company and the Trustee, of the Default and the Company does
not cure the Default within sixty (60) days with respect to
clauses (d) and (h), or within thirty (30) days with respect to
clause (e), after receipt of the notice; provided, however, that
the Company shall be permitted such longer period of time, if
any, as may be provided for under the other Operative Documents
in respect of any particular Default. The notice must specify the
Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is
a "Notice of Default." When a Default is cured, it ceases.
Section 6.2 Acceleration.
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.1(f) or (g)) occurs, and is continuing,
the Trustee may, by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at
least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities Outstanding may, by notice to the Company and the
Trustee, and the Trustee shall, upon the request of such Holders,
declare all unpaid principal of, accrued interest and Special
Interest, if any, to the date of acceleration on the Securities
Outstanding (if not then due and payable) to be due and payable
and upon any such declaration, the same shall become and be
immediately due and payable. If
27
an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(f) or (g) occurs,
all unpaid principal of, accrued interest on and Special
Interest, if any, with respect to, the Securities Outstanding
shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee
or any Securityholder. Upon payment of such principal amount,
interest, and Special Interest, if any, all of the Company's
obligations under the Securities and this Indenture, other than
obligations under Sections 7.7 and 8.4, shall terminate. The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then
Outstanding by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration
and its consequences if (a) all existing Events of Default, other
than the non-payment as to the Securities of the principal,
interest or Special Interest, if any, which has become due solely
by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived,
(b) to the extent the payment of such interest is permitted by
law, interest on overdue installments of interest or Special
Interest and on overdue principal which has become due otherwise
than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (c) the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a
court of competent jurisdiction, and (d) all payments due to the
Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 7.7 have been
made.
Section 6.3 Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity
to collect the payment of principal of, interest on or Special
Interest, if any, with respect to the Securities or to enforce
the performance of any provision of the Securities or this
Indenture including, without limitation, instituting proceedings
and exercising and enforcing, or directing exercise and
enforcement of, all rights and remedies of the Trustee under the
other Operative Documents.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not
possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in
the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any
Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an
Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.
No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available
remedies are cumulative.
Section 6.4 Waiver of Past Defaults.
Subject to Sections 6.7, 9.2 and 9.6, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
Outstanding by notice to the Trustee may authorize the Trustee to
waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences, except a Default (a) in the payment of principal
of, or interest on, or Special Interest with respect to, any
Security as specified in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 6.1 or
(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
Security affected. When a Default or Event of Default is waived,
it is cured and ceases, and the Company, the Holders and the
Trustee shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon.
28
Section 6.5 Control by Majority.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities Outstanding may direct the time, method and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it;
provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper
by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. The
Trustee may refuse to follow any direction hereunder or
authorization under Section 6.4 that legal counsel to the Trustee
determines in good faith conflicts with law or this Indenture,
that the Trustee reasonably determines may be unduly prejudicial
to the rights of another Securityholder, or that the Trustee
reasonably determines may subject the Trustee to personal
liability. However, the Trustee shall have no liability for any
actions or omissions to act which are in accordance with any such
direction or authorization.
Section 6.6 Limitation on Suits.
A Securityholder may not pursue any remedy with respect to
this Indenture or the Securities unless:
(a) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a
continuing Event of Default;
(b) the Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in
principal amount of the Securities Outstanding make a written
request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss,
liability or expense;
(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within
sixty (60) days after receipt of the request and the offer of
indemnity; and
(e) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding do not
give the Trustee a direction which, in the reasonable opinion of
the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request.
A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the
rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or
priority over such other Securityholder.
Section 6.7 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the
right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal
of, interest on, and Special Interest, if any, with respect to,
the Security in cash, on or after the respective due dates
expressed in the Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement
of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not
be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.
It is hereby expressly understood, intended and agreed that
any and all actions which a Holder of the Securities may take to
enforce the provisions of this Indenture and/or collect Payments
due hereunder or under the Securities, except to the extent that
such action is
29
determined to be on behalf of all Holders of the Securities,
shall be in addition to and shall not in any way change,
adversely affect or impair the rights and remedies of the Trustee
or any other Holder of the Securities thereunder or under this
Indenture and the other Operative Documents, including the right
to foreclose upon and sell the Collateral or any part thereof and
to apply any proceeds realized in accordance with the provisions
of this Indenture.
Section 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default in payment of interest or principal
specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.1 occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and
as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other
obligor on the Securities for the whole amount of principal,
accrued interest and Special Interest, if any, remaining unpaid,
together with interest on overdue principal and on overdue
installments of interest to the extent that payment of such
interest is permitted by law, in each case at the rate per annum
provided for by the Securities, and such further amount as shall
be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
Section 6.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers
or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Securityholders allowed
in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities), its creditors or its Property and
shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any moneys
or other Property payable or deliverable on any such claims and
to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial
proceedings is hereby authorized by each Securityholder to make
such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due
the Trustee under Section 7.7, and unless prohibited by law or
applicable regulations to vote on behalf of the Holders of
Securities for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other
person performing similar functions. Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent
to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting
the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Securityholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, for
the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or person performing
similar functions.
Section 6.10 Application of Proceeds.
Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article
shall be applied in the following order at the date or dates
fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such
moneys on account of principal, interest, or Special Interest, if
any, upon presentation of the several Securities and stamping (or
otherwise noting) thereon the payment, or issuing Securities
30

all of the foregoing (including amounts due and unpaid under
Section 7.7), except as a result of negligence or bad faith;
SECOND: In case the entire principal of the Securities

any, with interest (to the extent that such interest has
been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments
of interest or Special Interest, if any, at the rate of
interest specified in the Securities and (b) second to the
payment of principal of the Securities as the same shall
become due and payable, such payments to be made ratably to
the Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or
preference;
THIRD: In case the entire principal of the Securities
shall have become and shall be then due and payable, as to
any Securities, to the payment of the whole amount then
owing and unpaid upon all the Securities for principal,

been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of
interest or Special Interest, if any, at the same rate as
the rate of interest specified in this Indenture or in the
Securities; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to
pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the
Securities, then to the payment of such principal, interest
and Special Interest, if any, without preference or priority
of any of principal, interest or Special Interest, if any,
over the other, or any installment of interest or Special

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may
fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.10.
Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any
Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have
agreed, that any court of competent jurisdiction in its
discretion may require in any suit for the enforcement of any
right or remedy under this Indenture or in any
31
suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as
Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its
discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having
due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses
made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a
suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7,
or a suit by Holders of more than ten percent (10%) in principal
amount of the Securities Outstanding.
Section 6.12 Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of
Proceedings.
In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any
right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been
determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case
the Company, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall be
restored respectively to their former positions and rights
hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company,
the Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue as though no
such proceedings had been taken.
Section 6.13 Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or
Omission Not Waiver of Default.
No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee or to the Securityholders is intended to be exclusive of
any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall
not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any
of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon
any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall
impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a
waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein;
and, subject to the other applicable provisions of this
Indenture, every power and remedy given by this Indenture or by
law to the Trustee or to the Securityholders may be exercised
from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by
the Trustee or by the Securityholders.
Any right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee may be exercised by it in its capacity as Trustee, as it
may deem most efficacious, if it is then acting in such capacity.

ARTICLE 7.
TRUSTEE
Section 7.1 Duties of Trustee.
(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested
in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill
in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) The Trustee need perform only those duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture and the other
Operative Documents and no others.
(ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the
Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the
certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they
conform to the requirements of this Indenture.
(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its
own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its
own willful misconduct or bad faith, except that:
(i) This paragraph (c) does not limit the effect of
paragraph (b)
of this Section 7.1 or of Section 7.2.
(ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is
proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts.
(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to
Section 6.5.
(d) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
of the rights, trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture at
the request, order or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to
this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the
Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might
be incurred by it in compliance with such request, order or
direction.
(e) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way
relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and
(d) of this Section 7.1.
(f) Funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of
the Securities by the Trustee or any Paying Agent on deposit with
itself or elsewhere shall be held in distinct, identifiable
accounts, and other funds or investments of any nature or from
any source whatsoever may be
33
held in such accounts, except, in each case, to the extent
required by law. The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on
any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree with the
Company.
Section 7.2 Rights of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee may rely on any document reasonably believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper person. Subject to Section 7.1(b)(ii), the Trustee need
not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.
(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
require an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, which
shall conform to Section 11.5. The Trustee shall not be liable
for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
reliance on such certificate or opinion.
(c) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by
or through its attorneys and agents and the Trustee shall not be
responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or
attorney appointed with due care.
(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes
or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be
authorized or within its rights or powers.
Section 7.3 Individual Rights of Trustee.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may
become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal
with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or
Affiliates of the Company with the same rights it would have if
it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.
However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.
Section 7.4 Trustee's Disclaimer.
The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be
accountable for the Company's use of the proceeds from the
Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in
the Securities or in this Indenture other than its certificate of
authentication.
Section 7.5 Notice of Defaults.
If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to
the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder notice
of the Default within ninety (90) days after the occurrence
thereof except as otherwise permitted by the TIA. Except in the
case of a Default in payment of principal of, or interest on, or
Special Interest, if any, with respect to, any Security, the
Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it, in good
faith, determines that withholding the notice is in the interests
of the Securityholders.
34
Section 7.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders.
If circumstances require any report to Holders under TIA ss.
313(a), it shall be mailed to Securityholders within sixty (60)
days after each May 15 (beginning with the May 15 following the
date of this Indenture) as of which such circumstances exist. The
Trustee also shall comply with the remainder of TIA ss. 313.
The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee if the
Securities become listed on or delisted from any stock exchange
or other recognized trading market.
The Trustee shall, upon the written request of any Holder of
Securities but subject to applicable laws and contractual
limitations, provide to such Holder copies of any reports,
certificates, opinions or other materials of any kind or nature
required to be delivered to the Trustee under this Indenture or
any of the other Operative Documents or otherwise delivered by or
on behalf of the Company to the Trustee.
Section 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity.
The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time
reasonable compensation, as agreed upon from time to time, for
its services hereunder and under the other Operative Documents.
The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall
reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable
disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by it in
any such capacities. Such expenses shall include the reasonable
compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents
and counsel and all agents and other persons not regularly in its
employ.
The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor
Trustee for, and hold each of them harmless against, any loss or
liability incurred by each of them in connection with the
administration of this Indenture and its duties hereunder. In
connection with any defense of such a claim, the Trustee may have
separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees
and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not reimburse any
expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by
the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee through the negligence or
bad faith of such Trustee or each such predecessor Trustee.
To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section
7.7, the Trustee shall have a Lien (legal and equitable) prior to
the Securities on all money or Property held or collected by the
Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, or otherwise distributable
to Securityholders, except money, securities or Property held in
trust to pay principal of or interest on particular Securities
(including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 8.1(b)
hereof).
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after
an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(f) or (g) occurs,
the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended
to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy
Law.
35
Section 7.8 Replacement of Trustee.
The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company and the
Holders in writing. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities Outstanding may remove the
Trustee by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a
successor Trustee with the Company's consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably refused or delayed. The Company may remove
the Trustee if:
(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;
(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;
(c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
Trustee or its Property;
(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting; or
(e) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Company determines in good faith to remove the
Trustee.
If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists
in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after any
such successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding may
appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company.
A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of
its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.
Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all
Property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject
to the Lien provided in Section 7.7, the resignation or removal
of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail
notice of its succession to each Securityholder.
No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment
of a successor Trustee, pursuant to this Article, shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor
Trustee under this Section 7.8. If a successor Trustee does not
take office within sixty (60) days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the
Holders of at least ten percent (10%) in principal amount of the
Securities Outstanding may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder
of Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
Trustee.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 7.8, the Company's obligations under Section 7.7 shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee which shall
retain its claim pursuant to Section 7.7.
36
Section 7.9 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc..
If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into,
or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust
business to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or
transferee corporation without any further act shall be the
successor Trustee.
Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.
This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA ss. 310(a)(1). The Trustee shall have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth
in its most recent, published annual report of condition. The
Trustee shall comply with TIA ss. 310(b); provided, however, that
there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA ss. 310(b)(1)
any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or
certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of
the Company are outstanding, if the requirements for such
exclusion set forth in TIA ss. 310(b)(1) are met.
Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Company.
The Trustee shall comply with TIA ss. 311(a), excluding any
creditor relationship listed in TIA ss. 311(b). A Trustee who has
resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA ss. 311(a) to
the extent indicated.
ARTICLE 8.
DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE
Section 8.1 Termination of Company's Obligations.
(a) The Company may terminate its obligations under this
Indenture, except those obligations referred to in the last
paragraph of Section 8.1(b), if all Securities previously
authenticated and delivered (other than destroyed, lost or stolen
Securities which have been replaced or paid or Securities for
whose payment Payments have theretofore been held in trust and
thereafter repaid to the Company, as provided in Section 8.3)
have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and the
Company has paid all sums payable by it hereunder.
(b) The Company may terminate all its obligations under this
Indenture except those obligations referred to in the immediately
succeeding paragraph if
(i) the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to
be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or a Paying Agent,
under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and any such
Paying Agent, as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit
of the Holders for that purpose, cash or U.S. Government
Obligations maturing as to principal and interest, in such
amounts and at such times as are sufficient without
consideration of any reinvestment of any such interest to
pay the then maximum possible principal of, and the then
maximum possible interest and Special Interest with respect
to, the Securities Outstanding to maturity, provided, that
37
the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall have been irrevocably
instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such U.S.
Government Obligations to the payment of said principal,
interest and Special Interest, if any, with respect to the
Securities.
(ii) No Default or Event of Default with respect to the
Securities shall have occurred and be continuing (A) on the
date of such deposit described in clause (i), or (B) insofar
as paragraph (f) of Section 6.1 is concerned, at any time
during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of
such deposit or, if longer, ending on the day following the
expiration of the longest preference period applicable to
the Company in respect of such deposit (it being understood
that the condition in this clause (B) is a condition
subsequent and shall not be deemed satisfied until the
expiration of such period);
(iii) Such termination and deposit described in clause
(i) shall not (A) cause the Trustee to have a conflicting
interest as defined in TIA Section 310(b) or otherwise for
purposes of the TIA with respect to any securities of the
Company, or (B) result in the trust arising from such
deposit to constitute, unless it is qualified as, a
regulated investment company under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended;
(iv) Such termination and deposit described in clause
(i) shall not result in a breach or violation of or
constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other
material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a
party or by which it is bound;
(v) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the
Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes as a result of such termination
and deposit described in clause (i) and will be subject to
federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner
and at the same times as would have been the case if such
termination and deposit had not occurred; and
(vi) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee
and any Paying Agent an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent and
subsequent provided for above in this Section 8.1(b) have
been complied with.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the Company's
obligations in Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 4.1, 4.2, 4.8,
4.17, 7.7, 7.8, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 10.4 shall survive until the
Securities are no longer Outstanding. Thereafter, the Company's
obligations in Sections 7.7 and 8.3 shall survive.
(c) After the effectiveness of any termination of its
obligations (except, in the case of Section 8.1(b), as set forth
in the last paragraph thereof), under this Indenture in
accordance with Section 8.1(a) or (b) above (such effective date,
the "Indenture Discharge Date") and payment of all obligations of
the Company accrued under Section 7.7, the Trustee upon Request
shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company's
obligations under this Indenture except for those surviving
obligations specified above.
38
Section 8.2 Application of Trust Money.
The Trustee or Paying Agent shall hold in trust money or
U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section
8.1, and shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture to the
payment of principal of, and interest and Special Interest, if
any, on, the Securities. The obligations of the Trustee and
Paying Agent under this Section 8.2 shall survive,
notwithstanding any termination or discharge of the Company's
obligations pursuant to Section 8.1, until all Securities are
paid in full.
The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee or Paying
Agent, as the case may be, against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against the money or U.S. Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) or the
principal and interest received in respect thereof.
Section 8.3 Repayment to Company.
Anything in Section 8.1(b) to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall deliver or
pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any
money or U.S. Government Obligations (or other Property and any
proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 8.1(b)
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee and to the Paying
Agent, if applicable, are in excess of the amount thereof which
would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent
termination under said Section 8.1(b). The Trustee and the Paying
Agent shall Pay to the Company any Payments held by them for the
payment of principal, interest and Special Interest, if any, that
remains unclaimed for two (2) years after the Stated Maturity of
such payment of principal, interest or Special Interest, as the
case may be; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying
Agent before making any Payment shall at the expense of the
Company cause to be published once in the national edition of The
New York Times or The Wall Street Journal or, if such newspapers
are not then in circulation, in a newspaper of general
circulation in the City of New York and mail to each Holder
entitled to such money, notice that such Payments remain
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein which shall be
at least thirty (30) days from the date of such publication or
mailing, any unclaimed balance of such Payments then remaining
will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company,
Securityholders entitled to Payments must look to the Company for
payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned
property law designates another person.
Section 8.4 Reinstatement.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) if the
Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, is unable to apply
any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with
Section 8.1 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any
order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application,
or (ii) the deposited money or U.S. Government Obligations (or
the proceeds thereof) are, for any reason (including any
repayment to the Company under Section 8.3), insufficient in
amount, then the Company's obligations under this Indenture shall
be revived and reinstated as though no
39
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1 until such time as
the Trustee, or Paying Agent, as the case may be, is permitted to
apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations and the
proceeds of the investment thereof in accordance with Section
8.1, or the deficiency is cured in the manner set forth in
Section 8.1(b), as the case may be. In such event, the Trustee
will invest all such money or the proceeds from U.S. Government
Obligations at the Company's request in other U.S. Government
Obligations and, upon written notice from the Company, so long as
there exists no Event of Default, to the extent and only to the
extent provided in the first sentence of Section 8.3 return to
the Company any money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.1. If the Company has made
any payment of interest on, principal of, or Special Interest, if
any, with respect to any Securities because of an event described
in clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 8.4, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such
Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S.
Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent, as
the case may be.
ARTICLE 9.
AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS
Section 9.1 Without Consent of Holders.
The Company and the Trustee, as the case may be, may amend
or supplement this Indenture, the Securities or the other
Operative Documents without notice to or consent of any
Securityholder:
(a) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to
or in place of certificated Securities;
(b) to provide for the assumption of the Company's
obligations to the Holders of the Securities in the case of a
merger or consolidation or transfer of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company or otherwise to comply with Article
5;
(c) to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection
with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; or
(d) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or to
make any other change, in each case, provided that such action
does not materially adversely affect the interests of any
Securityholder.
Section 9.2 With Consent of Holders.
Subject to Section 6.7, the Company (by resolution of its
Board of Directors if required) and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture, the Securities or the other Operative
Documents without notice to any Securityholder but with the
written consent of the Required Holders. Subject to Sections 6.4,
6.5 and 6.7, the Required Holders may authorize the Trustee to,
and the Trustee, subject to Section 9.6, upon such authorization
shall, waive compliance by the
40
Company with any provision of this Indenture, the Securities or
the other Operative Documents. However, an amendment, supplement
or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to any provision of
Section 6.4, may not without the consent of each Securityholder
affected:
(a) reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must
consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
(b) reduce the rate or extend the time for payment of
interest on, or Special Interest, if any, with respect to, any
Security;
(c) reduce the principal of, or the amount of Special
Interest, if any, with respect to (in each case, whether on
redemption, repurchase or otherwise), or change the fixed
maturity of any Security;
(d) change the place of payment where, or the coin or
currency in which, any Security (or the repurchase or redemption
price thereof), interest thereon, or Special Interest, if any,
with respect thereto is payable;
(e) waive a default in the payment of the principal of, or
interest on, or Special Interest with respect to any Security;
(f) make any changes in Sections 2.8, 6.4, 6.7 or 6.10 or
the third sentence of this Section 9.2 or change the time at
which any Security may or must be redeemed hereunder; or
(g) reduce any amount payable upon exercise of any
repurchase rights thereof or otherwise change any repurchase
right provision or impair the right of any Holder to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on any Security when
due or adversely effect any repurchase rights hereunder.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders
under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if
such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section
9.2 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders
affected thereby a brief notice describing such amendment,
supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way
impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement
or waiver.
Section 9.3 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.
Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or the
Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.
41
Section 9.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to
it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that
evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security, even
if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However,
any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to
his Security or portion of a Security. Such revocation shall be
effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation
before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective,
it shall bind every Securityholder, unless it makes a change
described in any of clauses (a) through (g) of Section 9.2. In
that case the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each
Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent
Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the
same debt as the consenting Holder's Security; provided, however,
that no amendment, supplement or waiver relating to any
impairment of the right to receive principal, interest and
Special Interest, if any, when due and payable consented to by a
Holder shall be binding upon any subsequent Holder of a Security
or a portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Holder's Security unless notation with regard thereto
is made upon such Security or the Security representing such
portion.
Section 9.5 Notation on or Exchange of Securities.
If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a
Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to
deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate
notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to
the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so
determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue
and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects
the changed terms.
Section 9.6 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized
pursuant to this Article 9 has been duly authorized by the
Company and is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and the
other applicable Operative Documents. The Trustee may, but shall
not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or
waiver which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
Section 9.7 Effect of Supplement and/or Amendment.
Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture and/or any
such amendment or supplement to the other Operative Documents
pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9, this Indenture and
such Operative Documents shall be and be deemed to be modified
and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under
this Indenture and the other Operative Documents of the Trustee,
the Company
42
and the Holders of Securities shall thereafter be determined,
exercised and enforced hereunder and thereunder subject in all
respects to such modifications and amendments, and all terms and
conditions of any such supplemental indenture and/or any such
amendment or supplement to the other Operative Documents shall be
and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this
Indenture and the other Operative Documents for any and all
purposes.
ARTICLE 10.
SECURITY
Section 10.1 Other Operative Documents.
To secure the due and punctual payment, performance and
observance of the Obligations, the Company has simultaneously

made an assignment and pledge of or otherwise transferred or
caused to be transferred its right, title and interest in and to

Documents and in the manner and to the extent therein provided.

time to time pursuant to its terms and the terms hereof. The
Company will execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Trustee such
further assignments, transfers, assurances or other instruments
as the Trustee may reasonably require or request, and will do or
cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary or
proper, or as may be reasonably required by the Trustee to assure
and confirm to the Trustee the security interest in the
Collateral contemplated hereby and by the other Operative
Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted,
so as to render the same available for the security and benefit
of this Indenture and of the Securities secured hereby, according
to the intent and purposes herein expressed.

and the perfection thereof, or (ii) stating that, in the opinion
of such Counsel, no such action is necessary to maintain such

the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation
of the other Operative Documents or this Indenture, and such
suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to preserve or
protect its interest and the interests of the Securityholders in
the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits
or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with
any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order

(a) an Officers' Certificate, and (b) an Opinion of Counsel, each
stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the
proposed action have been complied with, provided, that in the
case of any such application or Request as to which the
furnishing of an Officers' Certificate or Opinion of Counsel is
specifically required by any provision of this Indenture or the
other Operative Documents relating to such particular application
or Request, no additional certificate or opinion, as the case may
be, need be furnished.
Section 11.5 Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion.
Each certificate or opinion provided for and delivered to
the Trustee with respect to compliance with a condition or
covenant provided for in this Indenture or the other Operative
Documents shall include: (a) a statement that the Person signing
such certificate or opinion has read such condition or covenant
and the definitions herein or therein relating thereto; (b) a
brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or
investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in
such certificate or opinion are based; (c) a statement that, in
the opinion of such Person, he has made such examination or

46
enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not
such condition or covenant has been complied with; and (d) a
statement as to whether or not in the opinion of such Person,
such condition or covenant has been complied with.
Any certificate or opinion of an Officer or an engineer,
insurance broker, accountant or other expert may be based,
insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of or upon representations by counsel, unless such
officer, engineer, insurance broker, accountant or other expert
knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with
respect to the matters upon which his opinion may be based as
aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care
should have known that the same were erroneous.
Any certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar
as it relates to factual matters, upon the certificate or opinion
of or representations by an officer or officers of the Company
stating that the information with respect to such factual matters
is in possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows that
the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the
matters upon which his opinion may be based as aforesaid are
erroneous and insofar as it relates to legal matters in a
jurisdiction or area of law beyond the expertise of such counsel,
such counsel may rely upon the opinion of counsel qualified in
such other jurisdiction or area of law.
Wherever in this Indenture or the other Operative Documents
in connection with any application, certificate or report to the
Trustee it is provided that the Company shall deliver any
document as a condition of the granting of such application or as
evidence of the Company's compliance with any term hereof, it is
intended that the truth and accuracy at the time of the granting
of such application or at the effective date of such certificate
or report, as the case may be, of the facts and opinions stated
in such document shall in each such case be a condition precedent
to the right of the Company to have such application granted or
to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. Nevertheless,
in the case of any such application, certificate or report, any
document required by any provision of this Indenture or the other
Operative Documents to be delivered to the Trustee as a condition
of the granting of such application or as evidence of such
compliance may be received by the Trustee as conclusive evidence
of any statement therein contained and shall be full warrant,
authority and protection to the Trustee acting on the faith
thereof.
In any case where several matters are required to be
certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person,
it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or
covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be
so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person
may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and
one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such
Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one
or several documents.
Whenever any Person is required to make, give or execute two
or more applications, requests, consents, certificates,
statements or opinions or other instruments under this Indenture
or any other Operative Document such Person may, but need not,
consolidate such instruments into one.

hereunder shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any
other provision of this Indenture) such payment need not be made
on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day
with the same force and effect as if made on the due date, and no
interest or Special Interest, if any, shall accrue from such due
date to and including the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 11.8 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) The laws of the State of New York shall govern this
Indenture and the Securities without regard to principles of
conflict of laws.
(b) The Company and the Trustee each waive any right to have
a jury participate in resolving any dispute, whether sounding in
contract, tort, or otherwise arising out of, connected with,
related to or incidental to the relationship established between
them in connection with this Indenture. Instead, any disputes
resolved in court will be resolved in a bench trial without a
jury.

A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of
the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of
the Company under the Securities or this Indenture or for any
claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or
their creation. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security
waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release
are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

contained, all such covenants, conditions and provisions, subject
to Section 11.12 hereof, being for the sole benefit of the
parties hereto and of the Holders.
48
Section 11.12 Successors and Assigns.
This Indenture and all obligations of the Company hereunder
shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the
Company, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of the
Trustee hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Trustee, the
Holders, and their respective successors and assigns. Any
assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void ab initio.
Section 11.13 Counterpart Originals.
This Indenture may be signed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall
together constitute one and the same agreement.
Section 11.14 Severability.
The provisions of this Indenture are severable, and if any
clause or provision shall be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such
invalidity or unenforceability shall affect in that jurisdiction
only such clause or provision, or part thereof, and shall not in
any manner affect such clause or provision in any other
jurisdiction or any other clause or provision of this Indenture
in any jurisdiction, and a Holder shall have no claim therefor
against any party hereto.

2. The Securities.
2.1 Form and Dating.
The Initial Securities are being offered and sold by the
Company pursuant to the Sale Agreement.
(a) Global Securities. Initial Securities offered and
sold to a QIB in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act
("Rule 144A") as provided in the Sale Agreement, shall be issued
initially in the form of one permanent global Security in
definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons with
the global securities legend and restricted securities legend set
forth in Exhibit 1 hereto (the "144A Global Security"), which
shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Initial
Securities represented thereby with the Trustee, at its New York
office, as custodian for the Depository (or with such other
custodian as the Depository may direct), and registered in the
name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository, duly
executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as
hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the 144A
Global Security may from time to time be increased or decreased
by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the
Depository or its nominee as hereinafter provided.
Initial Securities offered and sold in reliance on
Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S"), as
provided in the Sale Agreement, shall be issued initially in the
form of one permanent global Security in definitive, fully
registered form without interest coupons with the global
securities legend and restricted securities legend set forth in
Exhibit 1 hereto (the "Regulation S Global Security"), which
shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Initial
Securities represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for
the Depository (or with such other custodian as the Depository
may direct), and registered in the name of the Depository or the
nominee of the Depository duly executed by the Company and
authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. On or prior
to the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the
offering and the Closing Date (as defined in the Sale Agreement),
beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Security may only
be held for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf
of Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as
operator of the
4
Euroclear System ("Euroclear") or Cedel Bank, societe anonyme
("Cedel"). Following such 40 day period, beneficial interests in
the Regulation S Global Security may be held through Euroclear,
Cedel or other participants having accounts at the Depository.
The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global
Security may from time to time be increased or decreased by
adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depository
or its nominee, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided.
(b) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.1(b) shall
apply only to the 144A Global Security and the Regulation S
Global Security (each a "Global Security") deposited with or on
behalf of the Depository.
The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in
accordance with this Section 2.1(b), authenticate and deliver
initially one Global Security in respect of Initial Securities
issued pursuant to Rule 144A and one Global Security in respect
of Initial Securities issued pursuant to Regulation S that (a)
shall each be registered in the name of the Depository for such
Global Security or the nominee of such Depository and (b) shall
each be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant
to such Depository's instructions or held by the Trustee as
custodian for the Depository.
Members of, or participants in, the Depository ("Agent
Members") shall have no rights under the Indenture with respect
to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depository or
by the Trustee as the custodian of the Depository or under any
Global Security, and the Depository may be treated by the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
as the absolute owner of any Global Security for all purposes
whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or
the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification,
proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or
impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the
operation of customary practices of such Depository governing the
exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in
any Global Security.
(c) Certificated Securities. Except as provided in
this Section 2.1 or Section 2.3 or 2.4, owners of beneficial
interests in any Global Security will not be entitled to receive
physical delivery of certificated Securities. Purchasers of
Initial Securities who are IAIs and are neither QIBs nor non-U.S.
persons within the meaning of Regulation S will receive
Definitive Securities; provided, however, that upon transfer of
such Definitive Securities to a QIB in reliance on Rule 144A or a
non-U.S. person in reliance on Regulation S, such Definitive
Securities will, unless the applicable Global Security has
previously been exchanged for Definitive Securities, be exchanged
for an interest in the applicable Global Security pursuant to the
provisions of Section 2.3.
2.2 Authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver: (1) Initial Securities for original issue on the Issue
Date in an aggregate principal amount of $14,500,000 and (2)
Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities for issue only
in a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange,
respectively, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, for
a like principal amount of Initial Securities, in each case, upon
a written order of the Company
5
signed by two Officers or by an Officer and either an
Assistant Treasurer or an Assistant Secretary of the Company.
Such order shall specify the amount of the Securities to be
authenticated and the date on which the original issue of
Securities is to be authenticated and whether the Securities are
to be Initial Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange
Securities. The aggregate principal amount of Securities
Outstanding at any time may not exceed $14,500,000 except as
provided in Section 2.7 of the Indenture of which this Rule
144A/Regulation S Appendix forms a part (as it may be amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,
the "Indenture").
2.3 Transfer and Exchange. (a) Transfer and Exchange of
Definitive Securities. When Definitive Securities are presented to the
Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request:
(i) to register the transfer of such Definitive Securities; or
(ii) to exchange such Definitive Securities for an
equal principal amount of Definitive Securities of other
authorized denominations,
the Registrar or co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make
the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such
transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive
Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be
accompanied by a duly executed Assignment Form in the form
attached to Exhibit 1 hereto.
(b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Security
for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security. A Definitive
Security may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a
Global Security except upon satisfaction of the requirements set
forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive
Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments
of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with:
(i) certification that such Definitive Security is
being transferred (x) to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A
or (y) to a non-U.S. person in accordance with the
provisions of Regulation S; and
(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to
make, or to direct the Securities Custodian to make, an
adjustment on its books and records with respect to the
applicable Global Security to reflect an increase in the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by
such Global Security, such instructions to contain
information regarding the Depository account to be credited
with such increase,
then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Security and cause,
or direct the Securities Custodian to cause, in accordance with
the standing instructions and procedures existing between the
Depository and the Securities Custodian, the aggregate principal
amount of Securities represented by the applicable Global
Security to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the
Definitive Security to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to
be credited to the account of the Person specified in such
instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Global
Security equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Security
so canceled. If no Global Security is then outstanding, the
Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon
written order
6
of the Company in the form of an Officers' Certificate, a new Global
Security in the appropriate principal amount.
(c) Transfer and Exchange of a Global Security.
(i) The transfer and exchange of a Global Security or
beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the
Depository, in accordance with the Indenture (including
applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if
any) and the procedures of the Depository therefor. A
transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Security
shall deliver to the Registrar a written order given in
accordance with the Depository's procedures containing
information regarding the participant account of the
Depository to be credited with a beneficial interest in the
applicable Global Security. The Registrar shall, in
accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depository
to credit to the account of the Person specified in such
instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Global
Security and to debit the account of the Person making the
transfer the beneficial interest in the applicable Global
Security being transferred.
(ii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Rule
144A/Regulation S Appendix (other than the provision set
forth in Section 2.4 hereof), a Global Security may not be
transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a
nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository
to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or
by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor
Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.
(iii) In the event that a Global Security is exchanged
for Securities in definitive registered form pursuant to
Section 2.4 hereof or Section 2.9 of the Indenture prior to
the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer or the
effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with
respect to such Securities, such Securities may be
exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are
substantially consistent with the provisions of this
Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements
intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule
144A or Regulation S, as the case may be) and such other
procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the
Company.
(d) Legends.
(i) Except as permitted by the following paragraphs
(ii), (iii) and (iv), each Security certificate evidencing
the Global Securities and the Definitive Securities (and
all Securities issued in exchange therefor or in
substitution thereof) shall bear a legend in substantially

Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay
principal, interest and Special Interest, if any, at the office
or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at any other
office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose in
money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts; provided,
however, that at the option of the Company, payment of interest
on and Special Interest, if any, with respect to, the Securities
may be by check payable in such money and mailed to a Holder's
registered address; provided further, however, that payments on a
certificated Security will be made by wire transfer to a U.S.
dollar account maintained by a Holder with a bank in New York
City if such Holder owns at least $250,000 in aggregate principal
amount of certificated Securities and elects payment by wire
transfer by giving written notice to the Company and the Trustee
to such effect designating
3
such account no later than 10 days immediately preceding the
relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Company
and the Trustee may accept in their discretion). If a payment
date is a legal holiday at a place of payment, payment may be
made at that place on the next succeeding Business Day, and no
interest shall accrue for the intervening period.
3. Registrar, Paying Agent and Tender Agent. Initially,
the Trustee will act as Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company
may change any Paying Agent or Registrar or co- registrar without
prior notice to any Securityholder. The Company may act in any
such capacity, except in certain circumstances.
4. Indenture. The Company issued the Securities under the
Indenture. The terms of the Securities include those stated in
the Indenture and those made applicable to the Indenture by the
TIA. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and
Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a
statement of such terms. Subject to paragraph 7 hereof, the
Securities are senior secured obligations of the Company limited
to $14,500,000 aggregate principal amount, except as otherwise
provided in the Indenture. Terms used in this Security and not
defined in this Security shall have the meaning set forth in
Section 1 of the Definitions Appendix attached as Appendix I to
the Indenture, which shall be a part of this Security as if fully
set forth in this place. The rules of construction for this
Security are set forth in Section 2 of the Definitions Appendix.
5. Mandatory Redemption. The Securities may not be redeemed
at any time at the option of the Company. Subject to the
provisions of the Indenture, the Company shall, until all the
Securities are paid or payment thereof provided for, deposit in
accordance with Section 3.6 of the Indenture, at least one
Business Day prior to June 15 in each year, commencing June 15,
2001 (each such date being hereinafter referred to as a
"Mandatory Redemption Date"), an amount in cash sufficient to
redeem an aggregate principal amount of Securities (the
"Mandatory Redemption Amount") equal to $920,000 on each of June
15, 2001 and June 15, 2002 (or, if the aggregate principal amount
of Securities Outstanding on any such Mandatory Redemption Date
is less than the principal amount required to so be redeemed,
then all the Outstanding Securities shall be redeemed on such
date), at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the
principal amount) of 100% plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Special Interest, if any, to the Mandatory Redemption Date
(subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record
date to receive interest and Special Interest, if any, due on the
relevant Interest Payment Date). Each such deposit shall be
applied to the redemption of Securities on such Mandatory
Redemption Date as provided in the Indenture. The Company may at
its option receive credit against any or all of the cash portion
of the Mandatory Redemption Amount for open market purchases of
Securities, and the obligation of the Company to make such
mandatory redemptions is subject to automatic termination in
connection with any permitted sale of or Total Loss with respect
to the Aircraft, all as provided in the Indenture.
6. Notice of Redemption. Notice of any redemption will
be mailed at least 30 days but not sooner than 45 days before the
redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at
his registered address. Securities in denominations larger than
$1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of
$1,000. If money sufficient to pay the
4
redemption price of and accrued interest on, and Special
Interest, if any, with respect to, all Securities (or portions
thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with
the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain
other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest
ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof)
called for redemption.
7. Security. The Securities are secured by Liens on
certain Properties of the Company pursuant to the Mortgage and
the other Operative Documents described in the Indenture and such
Liens are subject to release as provided herein and in the
Mortgage and the other Operative Documents.
8. Offers to Purchase. In the event that there shall occur
a Change in Control, the Company shall make an Offer to Purchase
all of the Outstanding Securities, at a purchase price equal to
101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities
Outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special
Interest, if any, to and including the repurchase date. The right
to require such repurchase of Securities shall not continue after
a discharge of the Company from its obligations with respect to
the Securities in accordance with Article 8 of the Indenture. The
Company shall commence such Offer to Purchase within thirty (30)
days after the occurrence of a Change in Control.
In the event that the Company desires to sell the Aircraft
as and when permitted in Section 4.12 of the Indenture, the
Company shall (subject to the provisions of such Section 4.12)
have commenced an Offer to Purchase Securities in an aggregate
principal amount (the "Sale OTP Amount") equal to the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities Outstanding on the date of the
commencement of such Offer to Purchase at a purchase price
(expressed as a percentage of principal amount of Securities to
be purchased) equal to (a) 102%, if such Offer to Purchase is
commenced prior to the first anniversary of the Issue Date, or
(b) 101%, if such Offer to Purchase is commenced on or after the
first anniversary of the Issue Date, plus in either case, accrued
and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, on such
Securities to and including the Payment Date. Effective as of the
day immediately following the Payment Date with respect to the
Offer to Purchase in connection with a sale of the Aircraft, the
interest rate borne by the Securities then Outstanding shall be
subject to automatic increase as set forth in Section 4.12 of the
Indenture, and the Aircraft shall be released from the Lien of
the Operative Documents in accordance with the provisions
thereof. The Company may receive credit against any or all of the
Sale OTP Amount for open market purchases of Securities as
provided in the Indenture.
In the event that there shall occur a Total Loss with
respect to the Aircraft, the Company shall (subject to the
provisions of Section 4.12 of the Indenture) make an Offer to
Purchase an aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities
(the "Total Loss OTP Amount") equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the Securities Outstanding on the date such Offer to
Purchase is required to be commenced under the Indenture at a
purchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of
Securities to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Special Interest, if any, on such Securities, to and including
the Payment Date, and the Aircraft shall be released from the
Lien of the Operative Documents in accordance with the provisions
thereof. The Company shall commence such Offer to Purchase within
thirty (30) days after the
5
Total Loss Date with respect to any such Total Loss. The Company
may receive credit against any or all of the Total Loss OTP
Amount for open market purchases of Securities as provided in the
Indenture.
"Offer to Purchase" means an offer to purchase all or a
portion, as the case may be, of the Securities by the Company
from the Holders commenced by the mailing (by first class mail,
postage prepaid) by the Company (or, if requested by the Company
on at least five Business Days' prior notice to the Trustee and
at the Company's expense, by the Trustee) of a notice to each
Holder (and, if mailed by the Company, to the Trustee) at such
Holder's address appearing in the Register, stating: (i) the
covenant pursuant to which the offer is being made and that all
Securities validly tendered will be accepted for payment; (ii)
the purchase price and the date of purchase (which shall be a
Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from
the date such notice is mailed) (the "Payment Date"); (iii) that
any Security not tendered will continue to accrue interest and
Special Interest (if any) pursuant to its terms (including, if
such Offer to Purchase is being made pursuant to Section
4.12(c)(i)(A) of the Indenture, a statement that the rate of
interest on such Security is subject to increase in accordance
with the provisions of such Section); (iv) that, unless the
Company defaults in the payment of the purchase price on the
Payment Date, any Security accepted for payment pursuant to the
Offer to Purchase shall cease to accrue interest or Special
Interest (if any) on and after the Payment Date; (v) that Holders
electing to have a Security purchased pursuant to the Offer to
Purchase will be required to surrender the Security, together
with the form entitled "Option of the Holder to Elect Purchase"
attached to or on the reverse side of the Security completed, to
the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at any
time beginning with the date of such notice but prior to the
close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Payment Date, and such Holder shall be entitled to receive from
the Paying Agent a non-transferable receipt of deposit evidencing
such deposit; (vi) that, unless the Company defaults in making
the payment of the purchase price or shall otherwise, in its sole
discretion, consent thereto, Holders will be entitled to withdraw
their election only if the Trustee receives, not later than the
close of business on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding
the Payment Date, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter
setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of
Securities delivered for purchase and a statement that such
Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Securities
purchased; and (vii) that Holders whose Securities are being
purchased only in part will be promptly issued new Securities
equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the
Securities surrendered (which new Securities, if such Offer to
Purchase is being made pursuant to Section 4.12(c)(i)(A) or
4.12(d) of the Indenture, will cease to be secured by the
Collateral); provided that each Security purchased and each new
Security issued shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or
integral multiples thereof. The Company shall place such notice
in the national edition of The New York Times or The Wall Street
Journal or, if such newspapers are not then in circulation, in a
financial newspaper of general circulation in New York City. No
failure of the Company to give the foregoing notice shall limit
any Holder's right to exercise a repurchase right. On the Payment
Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment Securities or
portions thereof tendered pursuant to an Offer to Purchase; (ii)
deposit with the Trustee money sufficient to pay the purchase
price of all Securities or portions thereof so accepted; and
(iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee all
Securities or portions thereof so accepted together with an
Officers' Certificate specifying the Securities or portions
thereof accepted for
6
payment by the Company. The Trustee shall promptly mail to the
Holders of Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to
the purchase price, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate,
and the Company shall promptly execute and mail (or cause to be
mailed) to such Holders a new Security equal in principal amount
to any unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered;
provided that each Security purchased and each new Security
issued shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or integral
multiples thereof; provided, further, that if the Payment Date is
between a regular Record Date and the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, Securities to be repurchased must be accompanied by
payment of an amount equal to the interest and Special Interest,
if any, payable on such succeeding Interest Payment Date on the
principal amount to be repurchased, and the interest on the
principal amount of the Security being repurchased, and Special
Interest, if any, with respect thereto, will be paid on such next
succeeding Interest Payment Date to the registered holder of such
Security on the immediately preceding Record Date. A Security
repurchased on an Interest Payment Date need not be accompanied
by any such payment, and the interest on the principal amount of
the Security being repurchased and Special Interest, if any, with
respect thereto, will be paid on such Interest Payment Date to
the registered holder of such Security on the corresponding
Record Date. The Company will publicly announce the results of an
Offer to Purchase as soon as practicable after the Payment Date.
The Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent for an Offer to
Purchase. The Company will comply with Rule 14e-l under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are
applicable, in the event that the Company is required to
repurchase Securities pursuant to an Offer to Purchase. Both the
notice of the Company and the notice of the Holder having been
given as specified above, the Securities so to be repurchased
shall, on the Payment Date become due and payable at the purchase
price applicable thereto and from and after such date (unless the
Company shall default in the payment of such purchase price) such
Securities shall cease to bear interest or Special Interest (if
any). If any Security shall not be paid upon surrender thereof
for repurchase, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest
and Special Interest (if any) from the Payment Date at the rate
and in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Security
and the Indenture. Any Security which is to be submitted for
repurchase only in part shall be delivered pursuant to the above
provisions with (if the Company or Trustee so requires) due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing.
9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities shall
be issuable only in registered form without coupons and in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. The
transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar may require
a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements
and transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or
permitted by the Indenture.
10. Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, the Trustee and
any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in
whose name this Security is registered with the Registrar as the
owner for all purposes.
7
11. Discharge. Subject to certain conditions set forth
in Article 8 of the Indenture, the Company may terminate its
obligations under the Securities and the Indenture, except those
obligations referred to in Section 8.1(b) of the Indenture, if
the Company deposits with the Trustee or a Paying Agent cash or
U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of,
interest on, and Special Interest, if any, with respect to, the
Securities to Stated Maturity.
12. Amendments and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions,
the Indenture, the Securities, or the other Operative Documents
may be amended with the consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities,
and any existing Default, Event of Default or acceleration may be
waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then Securities Outstanding. Without the consent of
any Holder, the Indenture, the Securities or any of the Operative
Documents may be amended to, among other things, cure any
ambiguity, defect or inconsistency.
13. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default under the
Indenture include the following: default for the period specified
in the Indenture in payment of interest on, or Special Interest,
if any, with respect to the Securities; default in payment of the
principal amount of any Securities when the same becomes due and
payable (at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption, tender for
repurchase or otherwise); failure by the Company to comply with
specific covenants of the Indenture or of the Mortgage within the
time periods provided therein, discontinuing substantially all of
its commercial airlines operations, or failure to pay over
amounts required under the Mortgage; failure to comply in any
material respect with any of its other agreements contained in
the Indenture, the other Operative Documents or the Securities
within the time periods (if any) and after the notice (if any)
provided in any thereof; a representation or warranty of the
Company in the Indenture, the other Operative Documents or any
Mortgage Supplement or in any certificate of the Company
delivered under any such document proves to be untrue in any
material respect when made, and the failure to cure such default
within the time periods and after the notice specified in the
Indenture; the occurrence of certain defaults under any
Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Significant
Subsidiaries in excess of $10,000,000 in principal amount; the
rendering of final judgments by a court of competent jurisdiction
against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an
aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or more which remain undischarged
for a period (during which execution is not stayed) of sixty (60)
days after the date on which the right to appeal has expired;
cessation of effectiveness of the Operative Documents without the
consent of the Trustee; and certain events of bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization. Subject to certain limitations in
the Indenture, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee or the Holders of twenty-five percent (25%) in
principal amount of the Securities Outstanding may declare all
the Securities to be due and payable immediately, except that in
the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency, all Securities Outstanding become due
and payable immediately without further action or notice.
Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities
except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require
indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or
the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities
may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The
Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any
continuing default (except a default in payment of principal or
interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in
8
their interests. The Company must furnish compliance certificates
to the Trustee. The above description of Events of Default and
remedies is qualified by reference, and subject in its entirety
to the more complete description thereof contained in the
Indenture.
14. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee under the
Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become
the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with
and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or Affiliates
of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee.
15. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer,
employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have
any liability for any obligations of the Company under the
Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect
of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each
Securityholder by accepting a Security waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issue of the Securities.
16. Authentication. This Security shall not be valid
until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an
authenticating agent.
17. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal
of, interest on, or Special Interest, with respect to, or the
purchase price for the Securities remains unclaimed for two (2)
years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the
Company at its request. After such payment, Holders entitled to
any portion of such money must look to the Company for payment
unless an applicable law designates another person.
18. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in

in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=
joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in
common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to
Minors Act).
19. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing this Security may
use a "CUSIP" number (if then generally in use) and, if so, the
Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a
convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice
may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of
such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained
in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed
only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any
defect in or omission of such numbers.
20. Holders' Compliance with Registration Rights Agreement.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF EXCHANGE OR PRIVATE EXCHANGE SECURITY]
10 1/4% Senior Secured Note due 2003
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company designated as its 10 1/4% Senior
Secured Notes due 2003 (hereinafter called the "Securities"),
limited in aggregate principal amount Outstanding to $14,500,000,
issued or to be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of June
16, 1998 (hereinafter called the "Indenture") between the Company
and First Security Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein
called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee
under the Indenture).
1. Interest; Special Interest. The Company promises to pay
interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate of
ten and one-quarter percent (10 1/4%) per annum, subject to
increase as provided in paragraph 8 below; provided, however,
that if a Registration Default (as defined in and subject to the
provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs (each
period during which a Registration Default has occurred and is
continuing referred to herein as a "Registration Default
Period"), additional interest will accrue on this Security at a
per annum rate of 0.50% for the first 90 days of the Registration
Default Period, at a per annum rate of 1.0% for the second 90
days of the Registration Default Period, at a per annum rate of
1.5% for the third 90 days of the Registration Default Period and
at a per annum rate of 1.5% thereafter for the remaining portion
of the Registration Default Period (such additional interest is
referred to herein as "Special Interest"). The Company will pay
interest and Special Interest, if any, semi-annually on the
Interest Payment Dates set forth on the face of this Security,
commencing December 15, 1998. Interest on the Securities will
accrue from June 16, 1998 or the most recent Interest Payment
Date to which interest and Special Interest, if any, have been
paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.
2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on and
Special Interest, if any, with respect to, the Securities (except
defaulted interest and interest on defaulted principal) to the
persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of
business on the Record Date set forth on the face of this
Security next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date.
Defaulted interest and interest on defaulted principal will be
paid by the Company in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the Indenture. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying
Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay
principal, interest and Special Interest, if any, at the office
or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at any other
office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose in
money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts; provided,
however, that at the option of the Company, payment of interest
on and Special Interest, if any, with respect to, the Securities
may be by check payable in such money and mailed to a Holder's
registered address; provided further, however, that payments on a
certificated Security will be made by wire transfer to a U.S.
dollar account maintained by a Holder with a bank in New York
City if such Holder owns at least $250,000 in aggregate principal
amount of certificated Securities and elects payment by wire
transfer by giving written notice to the Company and the Trustee
to such effect designating
4
such account no later than 10 days immediately preceding the
relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Company
and the Trustee may accept in their discretion). If a payment
date is a legal holiday at a place of payment, payment may be
made at that place on the next succeeding Business Day, and no
interest shall accrue for the intervening period.
3. Registrar, Paying Agent and Tender Agent. Initially,
the Trustee will act as Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company
may change any Paying Agent or Registrar or co- registrar without
prior notice to any Securityholder. The Company may act in any
such capacity, except in certain circumstances.
4. Indenture. The Company issued the Securities under the
Indenture. The terms of the Securities include those stated in
the Indenture and those made applicable to the Indenture by the
TIA. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and
Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a
statement of such terms. Subject to paragraph 7 hereof, the
Securities are senior secured obligations of the Company limited
to $14,500,000 aggregate principal amount, except as otherwise
provided in the Indenture. Terms used in this Security and not
defined in this Security shall have the meaning set forth in
Section 1 of the Definitions Appendix attached as Appendix I to
the Indenture, which shall be a part of this Security as if fully
set forth in this place. The rules of construction for this
Security are set forth in Section 2 of the Definitions Appendix.
5. Mandatory Redemption. The Securities may not be redeemed
at any time at the option of the Company. Subject to the
provisions of the Indenture, the Company shall, until all the
Securities are paid or payment thereof provided for, deposit in
accordance with Section 3.6 of the Indenture, at least one
Business Day prior to June 15 in each year, commencing June 15,
2001 (each such date being hereinafter referred to as a
"Mandatory Redemption Date"), an amount in cash sufficient to
redeem an aggregate principal amount of Securities (the
"Mandatory Redemption Amount") equal to $920,000 on each of June
15, 2001 and June 15, 2002 (or, if the aggregate principal amount
of Securities Outstanding on any such Mandatory Redemption Date
is less than the principal amount required to so be redeemed,
then all the Outstanding Securities shall be redeemed on such
date), at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of
principal amount) of 100% plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Special Interest, if any, to the Mandatory Redemption Date
(subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record
date to receive interest and Special Interest, if any, due on the
relevant Interest Payment Date). Each such deposit shall be
applied to the redemption of Securities on such Mandatory
Redemption Date as provided in the Indenture. The Company may at
its option receive credit against any or all of the cash portion
of the Mandatory Redemption Amount for open market purchases of
Securities, and the obligation of the Company to make such
mandatory redemptions is subject to automatic termination in
connection with any permitted sale of or Total Loss with respect
to the Aircraft, all as provided in the Indenture.
6. Notice of Redemption. Notice of any redemption will
be mailed at least 30 days but not sooner than 45 days before the
redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at
his registered address. Securities in denominations larger than
$1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of
$1,000. If money sufficient to pay the
5
redemption price of and accrued interest on, and Special
Interest, if any, with respect to, all Securities (or portions
thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with
the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain
other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest
ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof)
called for redemption.
7. Security. The Securities are secured by Liens on
certain Properties of the Company pursuant to the Mortgage and
the other Operative Documents described in the Indenture and such
Liens are subject to release as provided herein and in the
Mortgage and the other Operative Documents.
8. Offers to Purchase. In the event that there shall occur
a Change in Control, the Company shall make an Offer to Purchase
all of the Outstanding Securities, at a purchase price equal to
101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities
Outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special
Interest, if any, to and including the repurchase date. The right
to require such repurchase of Securities shall not continue after
a discharge of the Company from its obligations with respect to
the Securities in accordance with Article 8 of the Indenture. The
Company shall commence such Offer to Purchase within thirty (30)
days after the occurrence of a Change in Control.
In the event that the Company desires to sell the Aircraft
as and when permitted in Section 4.12 of the Indenture, the
Company shall (subject to the provisions of such Section 4.12)
have commenced an Offer to Purchase Securities in an aggregate
principal amount (the "Sale OTP Amount") equal to the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities Outstanding on the date of the
commencement of such Offer to Purchase at a purchase price
(expressed as a percentage of principal amount of Securities to
be purchased) equal to (a) 102%, if such Offer to Purchase is
commenced prior to the first anniversary of the Issue Date, or
(b) 101%, if such Offer to Purchase is commenced on or after the
first anniversary of the Issue Date, plus in either case, accrued
and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, on such
Securities to and including the Payment Date. Effective as of the
day immediately following the Payment Date with respect to the
Offer to Purchase in connection with a sale of the Aircraft, the
interest rate borne by the Securities then Outstanding shall be
subject to automatic increase as set forth in Section 4.12 of the
Indenture, and the Aircraft shall be released from the Lien of
the Operative Documents in accordance with the provisions
thereof. The Company may receive credit against any or all of the
Sale OTP Amount for open market purchases of Securities as
provided in the Indenture.
In the event that there shall occur a Total Loss with
respect to the Aircraft, the Company shall (subject to the
provisions of Section 4.12 of the Indenture) make an Offer to
Purchase an aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities
(the "Total Loss OTP Amount") equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the Securities Outstanding on the date such Offer to
Purchase is required to be commenced under the Indenture at a
purchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of
Securities to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Special Interest, if any, on such Securities, to and including
the Payment Date, and the Aircraft shall be released from the
Lien of the Operative Documents in accordance with the provisions
thereof. The Company shall commence such Offer to Purchase within
thirty (30) days after the
6
Total Loss Date with respect to any such Total Loss. The Company
may receive credit against any or all of the Total Loss OTP
Amount for open market purchases of Securities as provided in the
Indenture.
"Offer to Purchase" means an offer to purchase all or a
portion, as the case may be, of the Securities by the Company
from the Holders commenced by the mailing (by first class mail,
postage prepaid) by the Company (or, if requested by the Company
on at least five Business Days' prior notice to the Trustee and
at the Company's expense, by the Trustee) of a notice to each
Holder (and, if mailed by the Company, to the Trustee) at such
Holder's address appearing in the Register, stating: (i) the
covenant pursuant to which the offer is being made and that all
Securities validly tendered will be accepted for payment; (ii)
the purchase price and the date of purchase (which shall be a
Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from
the date such notice is mailed) (the "Payment Date"); (iii) that
any Security not tendered will continue to accrue interest and
Special Interest (if any) pursuant to its terms (including, if
such Offer to Purchase is being made pursuant to Section
4.12(c)(i)(A) of the Indenture, a statement that the rate of
interest on such Security is subject to increase in accordance
with the provisions of such Section); (iv) that, unless the
Company defaults in the payment of the purchase price on the
Payment Date, any Security accepted for payment pursuant to the
Offer to Purchase shall cease to accrue interest or Special
Interest (if any) on and after the Payment Date; (v) that Holders
electing to have a Security purchased pursuant to the Offer to
Purchase will be required to surrender the Security, together
with the form entitled "Option of the Holder to Elect Purchase"
attached to or on the reverse side of the Security completed, to
the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at any
time beginning with the date of such notice but prior to the
close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Payment Date, and such Holder shall be entitled to receive from
the Paying Agent a non-transferable receipt of deposit evidencing
such deposit; (vi) that, unless the Company defaults in making
the payment of the purchase price or shall otherwise, in its sole
discretion, consent thereto, Holders will be entitled to withdraw
their election only if the Trustee receives, not later than the
close of business on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding
the Payment Date, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter
setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of
Securities delivered for purchase and a statement that such
Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Securities
purchased; and (vii) that Holders whose Securities are being
purchased only in part will be promptly issued new Securities
equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the
Securities surrendered (which new Securities, if such Offer to
Purchase is being made pursuant to Section 4.12(c)(i)(A) or
4.12(d) of the Indenture, will cease to be secured by the
Collateral); provided that each Security purchased and each new
Security issued shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or
integral multiples thereof. The Company shall place such notice
in the national edition of The New York Times or The Wall Street
Journal or, if such newspapers are not then in circulation, in a
financial newspaper of general circulation in New York City. No
failure of the Company to give the foregoing notice shall limit
any Holder's right to exercise a repurchase right. On the Payment
Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment Securities or
portions thereof tendered pursuant to an Offer to Purchase; (ii)
deposit with the Trustee money sufficient to pay the purchase
price of all Securities or portions thereof so accepted; and
(iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee all
Securities or portions thereof so accepted together with an
Officers' Certificate specifying the Securities or portions
thereof accepted for
7
payment by the Company. The Trustee shall promptly mail to the
Holders of Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to
the purchase price, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate,
and the Company shall promptly execute and mail (or cause to be
mailed) to such Holders a new Security equal in principal amount
to any unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered;
provided that each Security purchased and each new Security
issued shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or integral
multiples thereof; provided, further, that if the Payment Date is
between a regular Record Date and the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, Securities to be repurchased must be accompanied by
payment of an amount equal to the interest and Special Interest,
if any, payable on such succeeding Interest Payment Date on the
principal amount to be repurchased, and the interest on the
principal amount of the Security being repurchased, and Special
Interest, if any, with respect thereto, will be paid on such next
succeeding Interest Payment Date to the registered holder of such
Security on the immediately preceding Record Date. A Security
repurchased on an Interest Payment Date need not be accompanied
by any such payment, and the interest on the principal amount of
the Security being repurchased and Special Interest, if any, with
respect thereto, will be paid on such Interest Payment Date to
the registered holder of such Security on the corresponding
Record Date. The Company will publicly announce the results of an
Offer to Purchase as soon as practicable after the Payment Date.
The Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent for an Offer to
Purchase. The Company will comply with Rule 14e-l under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are
applicable, in the event that the Company is required to
repurchase Securities pursuant to an Offer to Purchase. Both the
notice of the Company and the notice of the Holder having been
given as specified above, the Securities so to be repurchased
shall, on the Payment Date become due and payable at the purchase
price applicable thereto and from and after such date (unless the
Company shall default in the payment of such purchase price) such
Securities shall cease to bear interest or Special Interest (if
any). If any Security shall not be paid upon surrender thereof
for repurchase, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest
and Special Interest (if any) from the Payment Date at the rate
and in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Security
and the Indenture. Any Security which is to be submitted for
repurchase only in part shall be delivered pursuant to the above
provisions with (if the Company or Trustee so requires) due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing.
9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities shall
be issuable only in registered form without coupons and in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. The
transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar may require
a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements
and transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or
permitted by the Indenture.
10. Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, the Trustee and
any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in
whose name this Security is registered with the Registrar as the
owner for all purposes.
8
11. Discharge. Subject to certain conditions set forth in Article
8 of the Indenture, the Company may terminate its obligations
under the Securities and the Indenture, except those obligations
referred to in Section 8.1(b) of the Indenture, if the Company
deposits with the Trustee or a Paying Agent cash or U.S.
Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, interest
on, and Special Interest, if any, with respect to, the Securities
to Stated Maturity.
12. Amendments and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions,

may be amended with the consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities,
and any existing Default, Event of Default or acceleration may be
waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal

ambiguity, defect or inconsistency.
13. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default under the
Indenture include the following: default for the period specified
in the Indenture in payment of interest on, or Special Interest,
if any, with respect to the Securities; default in payment of the

the Indenture, the other Operative Documents or the Securities
within the time periods (if any) and after the notice (if any)
provided in any thereof; a representation or warranty of the
Company in the Indenture, the other Operative Documents or any
Mortgage Supplement or in any certificate of the Company
delivered under any such document proves to be untrue in any
material respect when made, and the failure to cure such default
within the time periods and after the notice specified in the
Indenture; the occurrence of certain defaults under any
Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Significant
Subsidiaries in excess of $10,000,000 in principal amount; the
rendering of final judgments by a court of competent jurisdiction
against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an

days after the date on which the right to appeal has expired;
cessation of effectiveness of the Operative Documents without the
consent of the Trustee; and certain events of bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization. Subject to certain limitations in

the Trustee or the Holders of twenty-five percent (25%) in
principal amount of the Securities Outstanding may declare all
the Securities to be due and payable immediately, except that in
the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency, all Securities Outstanding become due
and payable immediately without further action or notice.
Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities

indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or

majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities
may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The
Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any
continuing default (except a default in payment of principal or
interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in
9
their interests. The Company must furnish compliance certificates
to the Trustee. The above description of Events of Default and
remedies is qualified by reference, and subject in its entirety

the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with
and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or Affiliates
of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee.
15. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer,
employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have
any liability for any obligations of the Company under the
Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect
of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each
Securityholder by accepting a Security waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issue of the Securities.
16. Authentication. This Security shall not be valid
until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an
authenticating agent.
17. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal
of, interest on, or Special Interest, with respect to, or the

convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice
may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of
such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained
in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed

Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any
defect in or omission of such numbers.

and effect.
2.2 Certain Releases of Lien. (a) At any time and from time
to time prior to or upon the release of the Lien of this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.2, upon the Total Loss of an
Engine in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, or

provisions of this Agreement, the Indenture or
any other Operative Document.

(A) stating that the certificates, opinions
and other instruments and/or Property that have
been or are therewith delivered to and deposited
with Mortgagee conform to the requirements of
this Agreement and that, upon the basis of such

may be released from the Lien of this Agreement
in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, and that all conditions precedent
herein provided for relating to such release have
been complied with; and

acceptable to Mortgagee as to the fair market value of
the Replacement Engine (which shall not be less than
the fair market value of the Engine it replaces,
assuming such replaced Engine had been maintained in
the
7
condition and repair required hereunder) and of the
Aircraft after giving effect to such replacement
(which shall not be less than the fair market value of
the Aircraft prior to such replacement, assuming the
Aircraft had been maintained in the condition required
hereunder).
(b) In the event of the substitution of a Replacement
Engine, all provisions of this Agreement relating to the Airframe
or Engine being replaced shall be applicable to such Replacement
Engine with the same force and effect as if such Replacement
Engine were the same engine, as the case may be, as the Engine
being replaced but for the Total Loss with respect to the Engine
being replaced.
2.3 Liability of Mortgagor. Mortgagor shall be personally
liable hereunder for any and all amounts from time to time due
and payable hereunder. Mortgagor hereby agrees that Mortgagee may
proceed directly against it in connection with its liability
hereunder without first proceeding to enforce its rights or
remedies against Mortgagor or in the Collateral. Mortgagor hereby
authorizes Mortgagee to exercise in any order any right or remedy
it might have, including, without limitation, any right of
judicial foreclosure or power of sale of the Collateral, with
respect to the Obligations. All rights, powers and remedies of
Mortgagee hereunder and under the other Operative Documents are
cumulative and not alternative and are in addition to all rights,
power and remedies given to Mortgagee by applicable Law.
2.4 No Segregation of Moneys; No Interest. Moneys received
by Mortgagee hereunder need not be segregated in any manner
except to the extent required by applicable Law or any Operative
Document, and may be deposited under such general conditions as
may be prescribed by applicable Law, and Mortgagee shall not be
liable for any interest thereon, provided that, to the extent
such information is or was available to Mortgagee, any payments
received or applied hereunder by Mortgagee shall be accounted for
by Mortgagee so that any portion thereof paid or applied pursuant
hereto shall be identifiable as to the source thereof.
3. OPERATION, REPLACEMENT OF PARTS AND
POSSESSION OF AIRCRAFT
3.1 Operation. Mortgagor agrees that it will not use or
operate, or permit any permitted lessee or sublessee (if any) of
the Aircraft or any other Person to use or operate the Aircraft
in violation of any law or any rule, regulation or order
(including, without limitation, concerning alcoholic beverages or
prohibited substances) of any Government Entity having
jurisdiction (domestic or foreign) or in violation of any
airworthiness certificate, license or registration relating to
the Aircraft or any Engine issued by any such authority, except
to the extent the validity or application of any such law, rule,
regulation or order is being contested in good faith and by
appropriate proceedings and for the payment of which adequate
reserves have been provided and are being maintained on the books
of Mortgagor (but only so long as Mortgagee has been given notice
of such proceedings and such proceedings do not, in Mortgagee's
reasonable opinion, involve any danger of the attachment, sale,
forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft, any Engine, or any Part
thereof or otherwise materially adversely affect the Lien of this
Agreement or subject Mortgagee or any Holder to any risk of civil
or criminal penalty). In
8
the event that any such law, rule, regulation or order requires
alteration of the Aircraft, any Engine, or any Part thereof,
unless the validity thereof is being contested in good faith and
by appropriate proceedings and for the payment of which adequate
reserves have been provided and are being maintained on the books
of Mortgagor (but only so long as Mortgagee has been given notice
of such proceedings and such proceedings do not, in Mortgagee's
reasonable opinion, involve any danger of the attachment, sale,
forfeiture or loss of any item of the Aircraft, any Engine, or
any Part thereof or otherwise materially adversely affect the
Lien of this Agreement or subject Mortgagee or any Holder to any
risk of civil or criminal penalty), Mortgagor will conform
thereto or obtain conformance therewith at no expense to
Mortgagee and will maintain the Aircraft in proper operating
condition under such laws, rules, regulations and orders.
Mortgagor agrees that it will not permit the Aircraft or any
Engine to be operated, used or located (a) in any area excluded
from coverage by the insurance required by the terms of Section
6.3, except in the case of a requisition by the United States of
America where Mortgagor obtains indemnity from the United States
of America against substantially the same risks and for at least
the amounts of the insurance required by Section 6.3 covering
such area, or (b) outside the United States or Canada in any
recognized or, in the Mortgagor's reasonable judgment, threatened
area of hostilities unless, notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 6.3, covered by war risk and allied perils insurance, or
in either case unless the Aircraft is operated or used under
contract with the government of the United States or any agency
or instrumentality thereof (backed by the full faith and credit
of the United States Government) under which contract such
government assumes liability for substantially the same risks in
at least the same amounts as would be covered by such insurance.
3.2 Transfer of Possession. Except as expressly set forth
herein or in the Indenture, Mortgagor will not, without the prior
written consent of Mortgagee, lease, sublease or otherwise in any
manner deliver, transfer or relinquish possession of the Aircraft
or any Engine, except that Mortgagor may install an Engine on
another aircraft in Mortgagor's fleet to the extent consistent
with Section 6.2 below.
3.3 Total Loss of Engine and not Airframe; Total Loss of
Airframe.
(a) Upon a Total Loss of any Engine not installed on
the Aircraft or a Total Loss of an Engine installed on the
Airframe not involving a Total Loss of the Airframe, Mortgagor
will give Mortgagee prompt (but in any event, within five
Business Days after the Total Loss Date) written notice thereof.
Mortgagor will, as soon as reasonably possible and in any event
within 120 days of the Total Loss Date with respect to such Total
Loss, and on at least five days' written notice to Mortgagee,
replace such Engine by duly obtaining title to a Replacement
Engine free of all liens and encumbrances other than Permitted
Liens and such Replacement Engine will have a value and utility
at least equal to, and of the same model, service bulletin, and
modification status and in at least as good operating condition
as, the Engine which sustained such Total Loss. Such Replacement
Engine will be an Engine as defined herein.
(b) Mortgagor agrees at its own expense to take such
action as Mortgagee may reasonably request in order that any such
Replacement Engine becomes the Property of Mortgagor and is
subject to the Lien provided by this Agreement.
9
(c) Upon a Total Loss of the Airframe, Mortgagor will
give Mortgagee prompt (but in any event, within five Business
Days after the Total Loss Date) written notice thereof and will
comply with the provisions of Section 4.12 (d) of the Indenture.
3.4 Replacement of Parts. Mortgagor, at its own cost and
expense, will promptly replace or cause the replacement of all
Parts that may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen,
destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or
permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever,
with Parts of at least equivalent model, operating condition and
modification status as the replaced Part if the replaced Part had
been maintained in accordance with the provisions hereof.
Mortgagor may substitute for any Part a Part that does not meet
the foregoing requirements if a complying Part could not be
procured or installed within the available ground time of the
Aircraft and as soon as practicable the noncomplying part is
removed and replaced by a complying Part. All Parts at any time
removed from the Aircraft or any Engine shall remain part of the
Aircraft or any Engine no matter where located, until such time
as such Parts shall be replaced by Parts which have been
incorporated in the Aircraft or any Engine and which meet the
requirements for replacement Parts specified above. Immediately
upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in
or attached to the Aircraft or any Engine as above provided,
without further act, (i) such replacement Part shall be deemed
part of the Aircraft or Engine, as applicable, for all purposes
hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated in
the Aircraft or Engine, as applicable, and (ii) the replaced Part
shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder.
3.5 Installation of Video Equipment and Telephone Systems
owned by Third Parties on the Aircraft. Mortgagor may lease or
purchase subject to a security lien equipment for the Aircraft
(including video systems and telephone systems) from third
parties and install such equipment on the Aircraft. The
installation of such equipment on the Aircraft is considered a
modification to the Aircraft and Mortgagor must comply (or, with
respect to such equipment existing and already installed on the
Issue Date, have complied) with the requirements of Section 6.11
prior to the installation of such equipment on the Aircraft. Such
equipment will remain the Property of its owner, unless such
equipment has not been removed from the Aircraft prior to the
repossession of the Aircraft by Mortgagee or the owner or holder
of the security interest in such equipment shall not have
requested in writing that the same be removed in accordance with
this Section (at which time title will pass to Mortgagee). Prior
to repossession of the Aircraft by Mortgagee, Mortgagor or the
holder of the security interest may remove any such equipment
from the Aircraft, so long as Mortgagor restores and repairs any
of the alterations made to the Aircraft in connection with the
installation of such equipment on the Aircraft to the same
condition that the Aircraft was in prior to the installation of
such equipment on the Aircraft. In the event that the Aircraft is
repossessed by Mortgagee in any manner permitted by this
Agreement which does not allow the removal of the equipment prior
to such repossession, upon written notice to Mortgagee by any
such lessor or holder of a security interest within ten days of
such termination requesting removal of the equipment, Mortgagee
shall remove or cause to be removed such equipment, restore and
repair the Aircraft to the condition that such Aircraft was in
prior to the installation of such equipment on the Aircraft and
return such equipment to the lessor or holder of the security
interest, all of which will be at the cost and expense of the
lessor or security holder of such security interest. As a
condition precedent to removal and return, the
10
owner or security holder must provide Mortgagee with the security
requested by Mortgagee to cover the costs of such removal,
restoration and return and the associated downtime.
3.6 Interchange and Pooling Agreements. Mortgagor may
subject the Engines and Parts to normal interchange or pooling
agreements with responsible international scheduled commercial
air carriers customary in the airline industry and entered into
by Mortgagor in the ordinary course of its business with respect
to its entire Boeing 767-200 fleet so long as (i) in the case of
pooling of an Engine, such Engine is returned to Mortgagor within
one (1) month, (ii) no reregistration of the Engine occurs, (iii)
all other terms of this Agreement continue to be observed with
respect to the Engines or Parts, and (iv) Mortgagor continues to
be fully responsible to Mortgagee for the performance of all of
its obligations hereunder.
4. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; DISPOSITION OF
COLLATERAL AND APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
4.1 Judicial Proceedings, etc., Following Event of Default.
If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, and
in any such event, Mortgagee may, forthwith upon notice to
Mortgagor (it being understood and agreed that such provision of
notice to Mortgagor shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise
restrict Mortgagee's rights and remedies hereunder or under any
other Operative Document or agreement): (a) apply to a court of
competent jurisdiction to obtain specific performance or
observance by Mortgagor of any covenant, agreement or undertaking
on the part of Mortgagor hereunder that Mortgagor shall have
failed to observe or perform or to obtain aid in the execution of
any power granted herein; and/or (b) proceed to foreclose against
the Collateral or any part thereof pursuant to this Agreement,
and according to the applicable Law of the jurisdiction or
jurisdictions in which such Collateral or part thereof shall at
the time be located, by doing any one or more or all of the acts
described in Sections 2.1 or 4.2 and/or the following acts, as
Mortgagee, in its sole and complete discretion (acting in good
faith), may then elect to:
(i) exercise all the rights and remedies, in
foreclosure and otherwise, available to it as a
mortgagee and secured party under the provisions of
applicable Law, including, in any event, all of the
rights, powers and remedies under the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of New York;
(ii) institute legal proceedings to obtain a
judgment conferring on Mortgagee the right to
immediate possession or requiring Mortgagor to deliver
immediate possession of all or part of the Collateral
to Mortgagee;
(iii) institute legal proceedings to foreclose
upon and against the security interest granted in and
by this Agreement, to recover judgment for all
Obligations then due and owing, and to collect the
same out of any of the Collateral or the proceeds of
any sale thereof;
(iv) institute legal proceedings for the sale,
under the judgment or decree of any court of competent
jurisdiction, of any or all of the Collateral;
11
(v) without regard to the adequacy of the
security for the Indenture or any other Operative
Document or agreement between Mortgagee and Mortgagor,
Mortgagor and its Affiliates, by virtue of this
Agreement or otherwise, or any other collateral or
other security or to the solvency of Mortgagor,
institute legal proceedings for the appointment of a
receiver or receivers pending foreclosure hereunder or
for the sale of any of the Collateral under the order
of a court of competent jurisdiction or under other
legal process; or
(vi) personally, or by agents or attorneys, enter
upon any premises where the Collateral or any part
thereof may then be located, and take possession of
and remove all or any part thereof or render it
unusable; and without being responsible for loss or
damage to such Collateral, hold, store and keep idle,
or lease, operate or otherwise use or permit the use
of, the same or any part thereof, for such time and
upon such terms as Mortgagee may in its sole and
complete discretion deem to be in its own best
interests, and demand, collect and retain all hire,
earnings and other sums due and to become due in
respect of the same from any party whomsoever,
accounting for net earnings, if any, arising from such
use and charging against all receipts from the use of
the same or from the sale thereof, by court
proceedings or pursuant to Section 4.2, all other
costs, expenses, charges, damages and other losses
resulting from such use in good faith.
All expenses of obtaining any such judgment, bringing any such
legal proceeding or of pursuing, searching for and taking such
Property shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this
Agreement.
4.2 Delivery of Collateral, Power of Sale, etc. If
Mortgagee should elect to foreclose upon and against the security
interest created in and by this Agreement, Mortgagor shall, upon
demand of Mortgagee, deliver to Mortgagee all or any part of the
Collateral at such time or times and to such airport within the
continental United States of America as Mortgagee may specify;
and Mortgagee is hereby authorized and empowered, in accordance
with applicable Law and without being responsible for loss or
damage to such Collateral incurred other than solely by reason of
Mortgagee's willful misconduct, to enter upon any premises where
the Collateral or any part thereof may be located and take
possession of and remove the same. Mortgagee may thereafter sell
and dispose of, or cause to be sold and disposed of, all or any
part of the Collateral at one or more public or private sales, at
such places and times and on such terms and conditions as
Mortgagee may deem fit in good faith, with or without any
previous demand to Mortgagor or any other person, or
advertisement of any such sale or other disposal upon notice to
Mortgagor (it being understood and agreed that such provision of
notice to Mortgagor shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise
restrict Mortgagee's rights and remedies hereunder or under any
other Operative Document or agreement); and for the aforesaid
purpose, any other notice of sale, any advertisement and other
notice or demand, any right of equity of redemption and any
obligation of a prospective purchaser to inquire as to the power
and authority of Mortgagee to sell or the application by
Mortgagee of the proceeds of sale or otherwise that would
otherwise be required by, or available to Mortgagor under,
applicable Law are hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor to the
fullest extent permitted by such Law. In the event that any
mandatory requirement of
12
applicable Law shall obligate Mortgagee to give different,
additional or prior notice to Mortgagor of any of the foregoing
acts, Mortgagor hereby agrees that, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, a written notice sent to it by mail or by
telecopy, so as reasonably to be expected to be delivered to
Mortgagor at least ten (10) Business Days before the date of any
such act shall be deemed to be reasonable notice of such act and,
specifically, reasonable notification of the time after which any
private sale or other disposition intended to be made hereunder
is to be made.
4.3 Right to Possession, etc.
(a) To the fullest extent Mortgagor may lawfully
agree, the right of Mortgagee to take possession of and sell any
of the Collateral in compliance with the provisions of this
Section 4 shall not be affected by the provisions of any
applicable reorganization or other similar law or any
jurisdiction; and Mortgagor shall not take advantage of any such
law or agree to allow any agent, assignee or other party to take
advantage of such law in its place, to which end Mortgagor, for
itself and all who may claim through it, as far as it or they now
or hereafter lawfully may do so, hereby waives, to the fullest
extent permitted under applicable Law, any rights or defenses
arising under any such law, and all rights to have the Collateral
marshaled upon any foreclosure hereof, and hereby agrees that any
court having jurisdiction to foreclose upon and against the
security interest created in this Agreement may order the sale of
the Collateral subject to such jurisdiction as an entirety or
severally.
(b) Mortgagee shall not have any duty or obligation to
use, operate, store, lease, control, manage, sell, dispose of or
otherwise deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the
Collateral, or otherwise to take or refrain from taking any
action under, or in connection with, this Agreement. If an Event
of Default shall occur and be continuing and Mortgagee shall have
obtained possession of or title to the Aircraft or any Engines,
Mortgagee shall not be obligated to use or operate the Aircraft
or Engines or cause the Aircraft or Engines to be used or
operated directly or indirectly by itself or through agents or
other representatives or to lease, license or otherwise permit or
provide for the use or operation of the Aircraft or Engines by
any other Person, provided, however, that if Mortgagee in its
sole discretion elects to so use or operate the Aircraft or
Engines, Mortgagee may obtain insurance in kinds, at rates and in
amounts satisfactory to it in its reasonable opinion to protect
the Collateral and Mortgagee and the Holders against any and all
liability for loss or damage to the Aircraft or Engines and for
public liability and Property damage resulting from the use or
operation of the Aircraft or Engines by application of any funds
available in the Collateral to pay for all such insurance or, in
lieu of such insurance, Mortgagee is furnished with
indemnification from any other Person upon terms and in amounts
satisfactory to Mortgagee in its sole discretion to protect the
Collateral and Mortgagee, both as Mortgagee and individually, and
the Holders, against any and all such liabilities. Upon every
taking of possession of any Collateral under this Section 4,
Mortgagee may (but shall not be obligated to), from time to time,
at the expense of the Collateral, make all such expenditures for
maintenance, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management,
disposition, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and
improvements to and of the Collateral, as it may deem proper. In
each such case, Mortgagee shall have the right to maintain,
store, insure, lease, control, modify, alter, sell, transfer,
convey or otherwise dispose of or manage the Collateral and to
exercise all rights and powers of Mortgagor relating to the
Collateral in connection therewith,
13
as Mortgagee shall deem appropriate, including the right to enter
into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance,
insurance, storage, leasing, control, management, disposition,
modification or alteration of the Collateral or any part thereof
as Mortgagee may determine, all as may be reasonably necessary or
desirable for the general upkeep of the Collateral or to prepare
any Collateral for sale or other disposition hereunder; and
Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all
tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits of
the Collateral and every part thereof, without prejudice,
however, to the right of Mortgagee under any provision of this
Agreement to collect and receive all cash held by, or required to
be deposited with, Mortgagee hereunder.
(c) Mortgagor does hereby irrevocably constitute and
appoint Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney of Mortgagor
(which appointment is coupled with an interest) with full power
(in the name of Mortgagor or otherwise) to ask, require, demand
and receive any and all moneys and claims for moneys (in each
case including insurance and requisition proceeds) due and to
become due under or arising out of or which now or hereafter
constitute part of the Collateral, 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 proceeding which
Mortgagee may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises;
provided, Mortgagee shall not exercise any such rights except
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default.
4.4 Application of Proceeds.
(a) All payments or proceeds received by Mortgagee
under or pursuant to this Agreement the application of which is
not otherwise provided for herein shall be applied or in the
absolute discretion of Mortgagee (exercised in good faith)
retained for application in the manner set forth in Section 6.10
of the Indenture.
(b) All payments and proceeds received and amounts
realized by Mortgagee after an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing which funds would, but for the provisions of this
paragraph (b), be distributed to Mortgagor, shall be held by
Mortgagee as collateral security (and part of the Collateral) for
the Obligations, may be applied by the Mortgagee in the manner
set forth in Section 6.10 of the Indenture, and at such time as
no Event of Default shall be continuing, any such funds remaining
shall be distributed to Mortgagor to the extent so distributable
hereunder or under the Indenture.
(c) All payments received by Mortgagee with respect to
a Total Loss of any Aircraft shall be held as part of the
Collateral until Mortgagor has complied with Section 4.12(d) of
the Indenture. On the Payment Date with respect to the Offer to
Purchase required under such Section, Mortgagee shall, upon
Request, release such payments with respect to such Total Loss to
Mortgagor for payment to the Holders of all or any part of the
purchase price with respect to such Offer to Purchase.
(d) All payments received by Mortgagee with respect to
a Total Loss of any Engine not installed on the Aircraft or a
Total Loss of an Engine installed on the Airframe not involving a

Collateral until Mortgagor
14
shall comply with Sections 2.2 and 3.3 with respect to such
Engine and shall promptly thereafter be turned over to Mortgagor.
(e) All payments received by Mortgagee with respect to
loss or damage to the Aircraft not involving a Total Loss shall
be held as part of the Collateral and paid over to Mortgagor upon

of the same type as received.
If the payments or proceeds received by Mortgagee under this
Agreement or any other Operative Document shall be insufficient
to indefeasibly pay in full the Obligations then due and payable
to Mortgagee and as set forth above in this Section 4.4,
Mortgagor shall forthwith pay any balance of such amounts
remaining unpaid to Mortgagee or as Mortgagee directs, and any
deficiencies remaining thereafter may be entered as a judgment
against Mortgagor in any court of competent jurisdiction.
4.5 Matters Involving Manner of Sale.
(a) At any sale pursuant to this Section 4, whether by
virtue of judicial proceedings contemplated in Section 4.1 or
under the power of sale granted in Section 4.2, it shall not be
necessary for Mortgagee or a public officer under order of a
court to have present physical or constructive possession of the
Collateral to be sold. The recitals contained in any conveyances
and receipts made and given by Mortgagee in good faith or such
public officer to any purchaser at any sale made pursuant to this
Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law,
conclusively establish the truth and accuracy of the matters
therein stated (including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the amounts due and payable under the Indenture and
any other indebtedness secured hereby, the accrual and nonpayment
thereof and advertisement and conduct of such sale in the manner
provided herein and by applicable Law); and all prerequisites to
such sale shall be presumed to have been satisfied and performed.
(b) At any sale or sales made pursuant to this Section
4, Mortgagee, any Holder or their respective agents may bid for
or purchase, free from any right or equity of redemption in favor
of Mortgagor and any Person claiming by, through or under
Mortgagor (all such rights being in this Section 4 waived and
released), any part of or all of the Collateral offered for sale,
and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim for
moneys then due and payable to Mortgagee by Mortgagor as a credit
against the purchase price; and Mortgagee, upon compliance with
the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such
Collateral without further accountability therefor to Mortgagor
or any third party, except as expressly required by applicable
Law. In any such sale Mortgagee shall not be obligated to make
any representations or warranties with respect to the Collateral
or any part thereof, and Mortgagee shall not be chargeable with
any of the obligations or liabilities of Mortgagor with
15
respect thereto. Mortgagor hereby agrees (i) that it will
indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless from and against any and
all claims with respect to the Collateral asserted before the
taking of actual possession or control thereof by Mortgagee or
its agents pursuant to this Section 4, or arising out of any act
of, or omission to act on the part of, any party other than
Mortgagee or any of its agents prior to such taking of actual
possession or control by Mortgagee, or arising out of any act of,
or omission to act on the part of, Mortgagor or any Person
claiming by, through or under Mortgagor or any of its Affiliates
or agents before or after the commencement of such actual
possession or control by Mortgagee or any of its agents; and (ii)
that Mortgagee shall have no liability or obligation arising out
of any such claim; except, however, in each of clause (i) and
(ii) with respect to claims arising from the willful misconduct
of Mortgagee.
(c) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to impair
in any manner the absolute right of Mortgagee to sell and convey
title to the Collateral to the purchaser(s) at such public or
private sale(s) or to grant options with respect to or otherwise
to realize upon all or such portion of the Collateral, at such
time, and in such order as it may elect in its sole and complete
discretion in good faith, or to enforce any one or more remedies
relative hereto either successively or concurrently; and
Mortgagor hereby agrees that the security interest, options and
other rights hereby given to Mortgagee shall remain unimpaired
and unprejudiced until all the Collateral shall have been sold or
this Agreement shall otherwise have ceased to be of any force or
effect according to its terms, and that the enforcement of any
right or remedy shall not operate to bar or estop Mortgagee from
exercising any other right or remedy available hereunder or under
any other Operative Document or agreement between Mortgagee and
any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Mortgagor or any
Person claiming by, through or under Mortgagor and its Affiliates
on the other hand, or otherwise, available at law, in equity or
otherwise.
(d) Upon the completion of any sale under this Section
4, Mortgagor shall deliver, in accordance with the instructions
of Mortgagee (including flying the Aircraft or any Engine or
causing the same to be flown to such airports in the continental
United States as Mortgagee may specify) such Collateral so sold.
Mortgagee may execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or
purchasers a good and sufficient instrument or instruments of
conveyance, sale and transfer of all of the Property sold; and
Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful
attorney of Mortgagor, with full power of substitution, in its
name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances of the Property
thus sold. Nevertheless, if so requested by Mortgagee or by any
purchaser, Mortgagor shall confirm any such sale or transfer by
executing and delivering to Mortgagee or to such purchaser all
proper instruments of conveyance and transfer and releases as may
be designated in any such request.

and under the Securities and the other Operative Documents. All

of any engines leased, operated or purchased by Mortgagor that
neither Mortgagee nor its successors and assigns will acquire or
claim, as against such lessor, seller or secured party, any
right, title or interest in any such engine as the result of such
engine being installed on the Airframe at any time while such
engine is subject to such lease, conditional sale or other
security agreement and owned by such lessor or seller or subject
to a security interest in favor of such secured party; provided,
that such agreement of Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall not be for
the benefit of any lessor, seller or secured party of any such
engines unless such lessor, seller or secured party has agreed to
substantially the same extent as provided above (which agreement
may be contained in such lease, conditional sale or other
security agreement) that neither it nor its successors or assigns
will acquire, as against Mortgagor or Mortgagee, any right, title
or interest in any Engine as a result of such Engine being
installed on any airframe owned by, leased to or held under any
security agreement by such lessor, seller or secured party.
6.3 Insurance.
(a) Categories of Insurance. From the date of purchase
of the Aircraft by Mortgagor through the date which is two (2)
years after the Stated Maturity of the Securities, Mortgagor
will, at its own expense, effect and maintain in full force and
effect the insurance
19
described in this Section 6.3 and in Exhibit B through such
brokers and with such insurers which are internationally
recognized and have a good reputation.
(b) Insurance for Indemnities. The insurance referred
to in Section 6.3(a) will in each case include and insure (to the
extent of the risks covered by the policies) the indemnity
provisions of Section 8.1 and Mortgagor will maintain such
insurance of the indemnities for a minimum of two (2) years
following the Stated Maturity of the Securities.
(c) Renewal. Mortgagor will use its best reasonable
efforts to try and provide to Mortgagee at least five (5)
Business Days prior to the date of termination or expiration of
any insurance, telex or fax confirmation from Mortgagor's
insurance brokers that renewed certificates of insurance
evidencing the renewal or replacement will be issued on the
termination date of the prior certificate. But in any event, not
less than one (1) Business Day before the expiration or
termination date of any insurance required hereunder, Mortgagor
will provide Mortgagee with telex or fax confirmation from
Mortgagor's insurance brokers that renewed certificates of
insurance evidencing the renewal or replacement of such insurance
and complying with this Section 6.3 and Exhibit B will be issued
on the termination date of the prior certificate. Within seven
(7) days after such renewal, Mortgagor will furnish its brokers'
certificates of insurance to Mortgagee.
(d) Assignment of Rights by Mortgagee. If Mortgagee
assigns all or any of its rights under this Agreement as
permitted by this Agreement or the Indenture or otherwise
disposes of any interest in the Aircraft to any other Person as
permitted by this Agreement or the Indenture, Mortgagor will,
upon request, procure that such Person hereunder be added as loss
payee and/or additional assured in the policies effected
hereunder and enjoy the same rights and insurance enjoyed by
Mortgagee under such policies. Mortgagee will nevertheless
continue to be covered by such policies.
(e) [Intentionally omitted.]
(f) Other Insurance. Mortgagee may from time to time
by notice to Mortgagor require Mortgagor at Mortgagor's expense
to effect such other insurance or such variations to the terms of
the existing insurance as may then be customary in the airline
industry for aircraft of the same type as the Aircraft and at the
time commonly available in the insurance market.
(g) Information. Mortgagor will provide Mortgagee with
any information reasonably requested by Mortgagee from time to
time concerning the insurance maintained with respect to the
Aircraft or in connection with any claim being made or proposed
to be made thereunder.
(h) Currency. All proceeds of insurance pursuant to
this Agreement will be payable in Dollars except as may be
otherwise agreed by Mortgagee.
(i) Grounding of Aircraft. If at any time any of the
insurance required pursuant to this Agreement will cease to be in
full force and effect, Mortgagor will forthwith
20
ground the Aircraft and keep the Aircraft grounded until such
time as such insurance is in full force and effect again. Nothing
contained in this paragraph (i) shall be deemed to release
Mortgagor from its obligation to maintain insurance as required
herein.
(j) Failure to Insure. If at any time Mortgagor fails
to maintain insurance in compliance with this Section 6.3,
Mortgagee will be entitled but not bound to do any of the
following (without prejudice to any other rights which it may
have under this Agreement by reason of such failure):
(i) To effect or maintain insurance satisfactory
to Mortgagee or otherwise remedy such failure in such
manner as Mortgagee considers appropriate (and
Mortgagor will upon demand reimburse Mortgagee in full
for any amount so expended in that connection).
(ii) At any time while such failure is
continuing, to require the Aircraft to remain at any
airport or (as the case may be), proceed to and remain
at any airport designated by Mortgagee, until such
failure is remedied to Mortgagee's satisfaction.
(k) Reinsurance. If in the future any reinsurance
placed by Mortgagor or a permitted lessee or sublessee (if any)
of Mortgagor is maintained on the Aircraft, then such
reinsurance will be maintained with reinsurers and brokers
approved by Mortgagee. Such reinsurance will contain each of the
following terms and will in all other respects (including amount)
be satisfactory to Mortgagee:
(i) The same terms as the original insurance.
(ii) A cut-through and assignment clause
satisfactory to Mortgagee.
(iii) Payment will be made notwithstanding (A)
any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or dissolution
of any of the original insurers and/or (B) that the
original insurers have made no payment under the
original insurance policies.
6.4 Compliance with Laws. Mortgagor shall exercise all due
diligence in order to comply with the requirements of all
applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any
governmental authority, noncompliance with which would have a
material adverse effect on Mortgagor.
6.5 Subleasing or Leasing.
(a) No Sublease or Lease without Consent. Except as
permitted under the Indenture or as set forth below in this
Section 6.5, MORTGAGOR WILL NOT SUBLEASE, LEASE OR PART WITH
POSSESSION OF THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY ENGINE (EXCEPT FOR MAINTENANCE
AND REPAIR) AT ANY TIME WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE
REQUIRED HOLDERS (THE GRANT OR REFUSAL OF WHICH WILL
21
BE IN THE DISCRETION OF SUCH HOLDERS) AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH
REQUIREMENTS AS MAY FROM TIME TO TIME BE AGREED IN WRITING
BETWEEN THE REQUIRED HOLDERS AND MORTGAGOR. The wet leasing of
the Aircraft in the ordinary course of Mortgagor's business (in
which Mortgagor and its crews retain operational control of the
Aircraft) will not be considered a sublease of the Aircraft and
shall be permitted hereunder so long as no Default or Event of
Default then exists.
(b) Pre-Approved Subleasing or Leasing. Attached
hereto as Exhibit C is a list (the "Pre-Approved List") of
airlines to whom the Holders hereby agree Mortgagor may, subject
to paragraph (c) below, sublease or lease the Aircraft, without
requiring the consent of the Holders. Mortgagor shall have the
right to provide Mortgagee and the Holders with a new list (the
"New Pre-Approved List") from time to time which the Required
Holders shall approve, disapprove or disapprove in part and
approve in part within fifteen (15) days of receipt, provided
that any such approval will not be unreasonably withheld. In the
event that the Required Holders fail to respond within such
fifteen (15) day period, Mortgagor will once again deliver the
New Pre-Approved List to Mortgagee and the Holders and if the
Required Holders then fail to respond within five (5) Business
Days of receipt of the New Pre-Approved List (the second time it
is sent), the Required Holders shall be deemed not to have
consented to the New Pre-Approved List. The New Pre-Approved
List, as approved by the Required Holders, shall constitute the
Pre-Approved List from the date of such approval. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Mortgagor shall not lease or sublease (including
renewals thereof) the Aircraft to any Person otherwise permitted
hereunder if at the time such lease or sublease would be entered
into or renewed such Person is subject to any bankruptcy,
insolvency, liquidation reorganization, dissolution or similar
proceeding, is seeking any reorganization or any readjustment of
its debts, has substantially all of its Property in the
possession of any liquidator, trustee, receiver or similar
Person, or is not generally paying its debts as and when they are
due.
(c) Any Approved Sublease or Lease. Any sublease or
lease (hereinafter in this paragraph (c), a "Sublease") of the
Aircraft or any Engine will be fully subject to fulfillment of
the following conditions:
(i) The Mortgagor shall provide at least ten (10)
Business Days' prior notice to Mortgagee of any
proposed Sublease, setting forth the identity of the
sublessee, the Property to be subject to such Sublease
and the term of such Sublease, and such Sublease shall
contain an express agreement by the sublessee to the
effect that: (A) such Sublease is fully subject and
subordinate in all respects to this Agreement and to
Mortgagee's rights, powers and remedies hereunder, (B)
such Sublease shall prohibit any assignment or further
sublease of the Property subject thereto, and (C) upon
notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default given
by Mortgagee to such sublessee, Mortgagee may avoid
such Sublease, and the sublessee shall forthwith
deliver the Aircraft or Engine to Mortgagee;
(ii) All necessary action shall have been taken
which is required to continue the perfection of
Mortgagee's security interest in the Aircraft and
Engine
22
and the Mortgagee's rights under this Agreement and
the Sublease and all other necessary documents shall
have been filed, registered or recorded in such public
offices as may be required to fully preserve the
priority of the interest of Mortgagee in the Aircraft
and Engine under all applicable Laws;
(iii) Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee,
promptly after execution thereof, a duly executed copy
of such Sublease;
(iv) Each Sublease shall be assigned by Mortgagor
to Mortgagee as security for Mortgagor's obligations
hereunder, and the sublessee shall be required upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default to make all payments under such Sublease
directly to Mortgagee; provided that if such Event of
Default shall cease or shall be waived pursuant to the
provisions of the Indenture, Mortgagee shall
immediately pay to Mortgagor all funds so received and
not yet applied in accordance with the provisions
hereof or of the Indenture;
(v) Any such Sublease shall include provisions
for the maintenance, operation, possession, inspection
or insurance of the Property subject thereto that are
the same in all material respects as the applicable
provisions of this Agreement;
(vi) Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee that the
insurance required by Section 6.3 remains in effect;
(vii) Mortgagor shall pay or reimburse Mortgagee
for all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses,
including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel, incurred by Mortgagee in
connection with any such Sublease;
(viii) For all purposes of this Section 6.5, the
term "Sublease" shall be deemed to include interchange
agreements with respect to the Aircraft or Airframe;
and
(ix) Mortgagor shall remain primarily liable
hereunder for the performance of all the terms of this
Agreement to the same extent as if such Sublease had
not occurred, and no transfer of possession of the
Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part shall
in any way discharge or diminish any of Mortgagor's
obligations hereunder or under any other Operative
Document.
In its sole discretion, Mortgagee may require an
Opinion of Counsel in connection with such Sublease, including
Mortgagee's rights to repossess the Aircraft in the event of an
Event of Default hereunder or under the Sublease. Mortgagor will
not amend the terms of any approved Sublease without the prior
written consent of the Mortgagee, which will not be unreasonably
withheld.
23
6.6 Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time
upon the reasonable request of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall cause
the appropriate Person to execute, acknowledge, deliver, and
cause to be recorded or registered (if so requested) all such
additional instruments and documents and further assurances of
title and shall do or cause to be done all such further acts and
things as may reasonably be necessary or desirable to effectuate
fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement, the Securities,
the Operative Documents, and any other agreement entered into in
connection therewith.
6.7 Maintenance. So long as the Lien of this Agreement
shall not have been discharged, Mortgagor, at its own cost and
expense, shall service, repair, maintain, overhaul and test the
Airframe and Engines (and each engine and part which is not an
Engine or Part, respectively, but is installed on the Airframe)
or cause the same to be done in accordance with a maintenance
program approved by the FAA (and in compliance with all
airworthiness directives thereof), and shall keep or cause to be
kept the Airframe and Engines (and each such other engine or
part) (i) in such operating condition as may be necessary to
enable the airworthiness certification of the Aircraft to be
maintained in good standing at all times under the applicable
rules and regulations of the FAA and the FAA-approved maintenance
program of Mortgagor and (ii) in good operating condition in
accordance with all mandatory service bulletins and
airworthiness directives of the United States Government and in
substantially the same manner as Mortgagor services, repairs,
maintains, overhauls and tests similar aircraft operated by
Mortgagor in similar circumstances and in accordance with
Mortgagor's maintenance program approved by the FAA and without
discriminating against the Aircraft with respect to its
maintenance, repair, condition or overhaul status based upon the
existence of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when
aircraft of the same type, model or series as the Airframe
(powered by engines of the same type as those with which the
Airframe shall be equipped at the time of grounding) have been
grounded by the FAA, Mortgagor shall not be required to maintain
such certification of airworthiness so long as it continues to
comply with all the other provisions of this Agreement with
respect to the Aircraft. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
prevent Mortgagor from taking the Aircraft out of service for
maintenance or modifications permitted hereunder or storage in
accordance with applicable FAA requirements, as appropriate and
sound practice for such storage. Mortgagor shall maintain or
cause to be maintained in the English language all records, logs
and other documents required by the FAA to be maintained in
respect of the Aircraft.
6.8 Registration. Except as otherwise permitted by this
Agreement or as otherwise required by the Federal Aviation Act or
rules, regulations, or orders promulgated thereunder, so long as
the Lien of this Agreement shall not have been discharged, the
Aircraft shall be duly registered in the name of Mortgagor under
such Act at all times. Mortgagee shall, at Mortgagor's expense,
execute and deliver all such documents as Mortgagor may
reasonably request for the purpose of effecting or continuing
such registration.
6.9 Insignia. Mortgagor shall for so long as the Aircraft
shall be subject to the Lien of this Agreement maintain or cause
to be maintained in the cockpit of the Airframe in a location
reasonably adjacent to the airworthiness certificate and on each
Engine, a metal nameplate identifying the security interest of
Mortgagee in the Aircraft, as follows:
24
"Subject to a security interest in favor
of [Name of current Mortgagee], as Trustee"
Mortgagor will not allow the name of any Person other than
Mortgagee, or its successors or assigns, to be placed on the
Airframe or any Engine as a designation that might be interpreted
as a claim of ownership or of any security interest therein,
except that Mortgagor or any permitted lessee may operate the
Airframe and Engines in its livery, including its name and logo
and except that so long as the Second Mortgage is in effect,
Mortgagor may comply with Section 6.9 of the Second Mortgage.
6.10 Inspection. At all reasonable times so long as the
Aircraft is subject to the Lien of this Agreement, Mortgagee or
its authorized representatives may at its own expense (unless an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or unless
such inspection discloses any material failure by Mortgagor to
comply with the provisions of this Agreement in which case, at
Mortgagor's expense) and risk conduct a visual walk-around
inspection of the Aircraft and any Engine (including, without
limitation, a visual walk-around inspection of the Aircraft
during any "C" check or other heavy maintenance) and may inspect
the books, logs and records of Mortgagor (and make copies of such
books, logs and records) relating to the operation and
maintenance thereof; provided that (a) any such inspection shall
be subject to the safety, security and workplace rules applicable
at the location where such inspection is conducted and any
applicable governmental rules or regulations and (b) in the case
of an inspection during a maintenance visit, such inspection
shall not interfere with the normal conduct of such maintenance
visit or extend the time required for such maintenance visit or,
in any event, at any time interfere with the use or operation of
the Airframe or any Engine or with the normal conduct of
Mortgagor's business. All information obtained in connection with
any such inspection shall be held confidential by Mortgagee and
the Holders and shall not be furnished or disclosed by them to
anyone other than each other, their bank examiners, regulators,
auditors, accountants, agents and legal counsel and any Person
with whom any Holder is in good faith conducting negotiations
relating to the possible transfer and sale of such Holder's
interest in any Security, if such Person shall have entered into
an agreement similar to that contained in this Section 6.10
whereby such Person agrees to hold such information confidential,
and except as may be required by an order of any court or
administrative agency or by any statute, rule, regulation or
order of any governmental authority or as may be necessary to
enforce the terms of this Agreement. Neither Mortgagee nor any
Holder shall have any duty to make any such inspection or incur
any liability or obligation by reason of not making any such
inspection. No inspection under this Section 6.10 shall relieve
Mortgagor of any of its obligations under this Agreement.
If requested by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall give reasonable
prior written notice to Mortgagee of the date on which the
Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine undergoes its next scheduled
maintenance visit and next major check, and with respect to any
Engine the next off-the-wing maintenance, and shall advise
Mortgagee of the name and location of the relevant maintenance
provider and shall, at least five days prior to commencement of
such major check or maintenance, make available for inspection by
Mortgagee all relevant records, logs and documents relating to
the Aircraft.
25
6.11 Alterations, Modifications and Additions. Mortgagor,
at its own expense, shall make alterations and modifications in
and additions to the Airframe and each Engine as may be required
to be made from time to time to comply with the applicable rules
and regulations of the FAA, to maintain the Standard Certificate
of Airworthiness for the Aircraft and as otherwise required by
applicable Law regardless of upon whom such requirements are, by
their terms, nominally imposed; provided that Mortgagor may, in
good faith, contest the validity or application of any such
standard in any reasonable manner which does not materially
adversely affect the Lien of this Agreement or subject Mortgagee
or any Holder to any risk of civil or criminal penalty. In
addition, Mortgagor, at its own expense, may from time to time
make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in
and additions to the Airframe and any Engine as Mortgagor may
deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business (including,
without limitation, removal of Parts), provided further that no
such alteration, modification or addition diminishes, in
Mortgagee's reasonable judgment, the value, utility, condition,
airworthiness or remaining useful life of the Airframe or Engine
below the value, utility, condition, airworthiness or remaining
useful life thereof immediately prior to such alteration,
modification or addition, assuming the Airframe or Engine was
then in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of
this Agreement, except that the value (but not the utility,
condition, airworthiness or remaining useful life) of the
Aircraft may be reduced by the value of Parts which Mortgagor
deems obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use in
the Airframe or Engine which shall have been removed and not
replaced, if the aggregate value of all such obsolete or
unsuitable Parts removed from the Aircraft and not replaced shall
not exceed $500,000. All Parts incorporated or installed in or
attached or added to the Airframe or any Engine as the result of
any alteration modification or addition effected by Mortgagor
shall be free and clear of any Liens except Permitted Liens and,
without further act, become subject to the Lien of this
Agreement; provided that Mortgagor may remove any such Part from
the Airframe or Engine if (i) such Part is in addition to, and
not in replacement of or in substitution for, any Part originally
incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or
Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in
replacement of, or in substitution for, any such original Part,
(ii) such Part is not required to be incorporated or installed in
or attached or added to the Airframe or Engine pursuant to the
terms hereof and (iii) such Part can be removed from the Airframe
or Engine without diminishing or impairing the value, condition,
utility, airworthiness or remaining useful life which the
Airframe or Engine would have had at the time of removal had such
alteration, modification or addition not been effected by
Mortgagor assuming the Aircraft was otherwise maintained in the
condition required by this Agreement. Upon the removal by
Mortgagor of any such Part as above provided, title thereto
shall, without further act, be free and clear of all rights of
Mortgagee and such Part shall no longer be deemed a Part
hereunder. Any such Part not so removed shall, so long as the
Lien of this Agreement shall not have been discharged, remain
subject to such Lien.
6.12 Notice of Change of Mortgagor's Chief Executive
Office. So long as the Lien of this Agreement shall not have been
discharged, Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee at least 30 days
prior to any change in the location of the chief executive office
of Mortgagor.
26
7. CONDEMNATION
7.1 Dedication to CRAF. Mortgagor may transfer possession
of the Airframe or any Engine to the United States of America or
any instrumentality or agency thereof as part of the Civil
Reserve Air Fleet Program authorized under 10 U.S.C. ss. 9511 et
seq. (or any substantially similar program) ("CRAF Program") for
a period which includes (collectively, the "CRAF Program
Requisition Period") (a) the entire period of requisition under
the CRAF Program and (b) an additional six (6) months after the
expiration of the requisition under the CRAF Program.
7.2 Notice to Mortgagee. Mortgagor will promptly notify
Mortgagee in writing in the event of the requisition for use of
the Aircraft under CRAF activation by the U.S. Government. All of
Mortgagor's obligations under this Agreement will continue to the
same extent as if such requisition had not occurred.
7.3 Requisition of Engine. If there is a requisition for
use of any Engine (but not the Airframe) by the U.S. Government
in connection with the CRAF Program, Mortgagor will replace such
Engine by complying with the terms of Section 3.3 to the same
extent as if a Total Loss had occurred with respect to such
Engine.
7.4 Government Indemnification. Any provisions of this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if there is a
requisition for use of the Aircraft pursuant to the CRAF Program
and/or CRAF activation, Mortgagee agrees that Mortgagor's
insurances described in Section 6.3 and in Exhibit B hereof may
be supplemented by insurances provided under Title XIII of the
Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, and/or U.S. Government
indemnification (which Title XIII insurances and indemnification
will be, as to the Aircraft, in an amount not less than the
Agreed Value (as defined in Exhibit B) and, as to all other
insurances, in amounts not less than those established in Exhibit
B hereof); provided, however, that Mortgagor will remain
responsible for full compliance with all the provisions of this
Agreement, to the extent Title XIII and/or the U.S. Government
indemnification do not satisfy Mortgagor's obligations under this
Agreement and the Indenture.
7.5 No Geographic Limits. If there is a requisition for use
of the Aircraft pursuant to the CRAF Program and/or CRAF
activation, there will be no limitation on the geographic area in
which the Aircraft may be operated so long as, taken as a whole,
Mortgagor's insurance, the Title XIII insurance and/or the
indemnification provided by the U.S. Government fully cover
(without any geographic exclusions) Mortgagor's Section 6.3 and
Exhibit B insurance requirements.
7.6 Notice of Default. If an Event of Default occurs under
this Agreement during a CRAF Program Requisition Period with
respect to the Airframe and Mortgagee elects to pursue its
remedies under Section 4 to terminate this Agreement and
repossess the Airframe, Mortgagee will so notify the U.S.
Government by sending a written communication as follows:
Headquarters Air Mobility Command
AMC Contracting Office -- XOKA
Xxxxx Air Force Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000-0000
27
7.7 Receipts of Payments. So long as no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, all payments received by
Mortgagee or Mortgagor from such Government Entity in connection
with the requisition of the Aircraft under the CRAF Program will
be paid over to or retained by Mortgagor. If an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, all payments received by
Mortgagor or Mortgagee from such Government Entity in connection
with the requisition of the Aircraft under the CRAF Program may
be used by Mortgagee to satisfy any Obligations owing by
Mortgagor in the order provided in Section 6.10 of the Indenture.
8. GENERAL INDEMNIFICATION
8.1 General Indemnification and Waiver of Certain Claims.
(a) Claims Defined. For the purposes of this Section
8.1, "Claims" shall mean any and all costs, liabilities
(including strict or absolute liability without fault in tort or
otherwise), losses, damages, penalties, actions or suits or
claims which may be imposed on, incurred by, suffered by, or
asserted against an Indemnified Person, as defined herein, and,
except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 8.1, shall
include all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, disbursements and
expenses (including legal fees and expenses) paid or incurred by
an Indemnified Person in connection therewith.
(b) Indemnified Person Defined. For the purposes of
this Section 8.1, "Indemnified Person" means Mortgagee and each
Holder, and each of their respective successors, transferees or
assigns permitted under the terms of the Securities or the
Operative Documents, and all directors, officers, employees,
agents, servants and Affiliates of any such Person; provided
that, as a condition precedent to any performance by Mortgagor in
connection with such indemnity with respect to any Person which
is not a signatory to this Agreement, such Person shall adhere to
and expressly agree in writing to be bound by all the terms of
this Section 8.1.
(c) Claims Indemnified. Subject to the exclusions
stated in subsection (d) below, Mortgagor hereby indemnifies and
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, on an after-tax
basis as defined in Section 8.2(d), each Indemnified Person
against Claims arising out of or resulting from:
(i) the operation, possession, use, nonuse,
purchase, airworthiness, control, return, transfer,
maintenance, overhaul, testing, registration, title,
lease, reregistration, storage, modification,
replacement, repair, substitution, pooling or
interchange of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine
or any Part, or any engine used in connection with the
Airframe, or any part thereof, or any other Property
used in connection therewith, or any other Collateral,
by Mortgagor, any lessee or any other Person
whatsoever, whether or not such operation, possession,
use, nonuse, title, lease, purchase, airworthiness,
control, return, transfer, maintenance, overhaul,
testing, registration, reregistration, storage,
modification, replacement, repair, substitution,
pooling or interchange is in compliance with the terms
of this Agreement or any other Operative Document,
including, without limitation, claims for death,
personal injury or Property damage or other loss or
harm to any
28
Person whatsoever and Claims relating to any laws,
rules or regulations pertaining to such operations,
possession, use, nonuse, title, lease, purchase,
airworthiness, control, return, transfer maintenance,
overhaul, testing, registration, reregistration,
storage, modification, replacement, repair,
substitution, pooling or interchange, including
environmental control, noise and pollution laws, rules
or regulations;
(ii) the manufacture, design, purchase,
acceptance, rejection, delivery, nondelivery,
condition or ownership of the Aircraft, any Engine or
any Part, or any engine used in connection with the
Airframe, or any part thereof, or any other
Collateral, including, without limitation, latent and
other defects, whether or not discoverable, and
patent, trademark or copyright infringement; and
(iii) any breach of or failure to perform or
observe, or any other noncompliance with, any covenant
or agreement to be performed by, or other obligation
of Mortgagor under, the Securities or any of the
Operative Documents, or the falsity, inaccuracy or
breach of any representation or warranty of Mortgagor
in any of the Operative Documents.
(d) Claims Excluded. The following are excluded from
Mortgagor's agreement to indemnify under this Section 8.1:
(i) Claims attributable to acts or events
occurring after the repayment in full of the
Securities and the payment and performance of all
other Obligations;
(ii) Claims which are attributable to Taxes
(other than the obligations to "gross up" set forth in
Section 8.1(c)), whether or not Mortgagor is required
to indemnify therefor under Section 8.2; or
(iii) With respect to any particular Indemnified
Person, Claims to the extent attributable to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct (other than gross
negligence or willful misconduct imputed to such
Indemnified Person solely by reason of its interest in
the Aircraft) of, or to the breach of any contractual
obligation by, or the falsity or inaccuracy or breach
of any representation or warranty of, such Indemnified
Person (unless such breach or falsity or inaccuracy is
a result of Mortgagor's failure to comply with the
terms of any Operative Document or any representation
or warranty therein).
(e) Insured Claims. In the case of any Claim
indemnified by Mortgagor hereunder which is covered by a policy
of insurance maintained by Mortgagor pursuant to Section 6.3 or
otherwise, Mortgagor shall not be obligated to indemnify such
Indemnified Person with respect to such Claim to the extent of
any loss of benefits of such insurance resulting from the failure
of such Indemnified Person to cooperate with the insurers in the
exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise
such Claim as may be required to retain the benefits of such
insurance with respect to such Claim.
29
(f) Claims Procedure. An Indemnified Person shall
promptly notify Mortgagor of any Claim as to which
indemnification is sought, provided that failure of an
Indemnified Person to provide such notice shall not release
Mortgagor from any of its obligations to indemnify hereunder to
the extent such failure does not impair the rights of Mortgagor
with respect to the availability or extent of coverage of
insurance or otherwise result in any material adverse
consequences to Mortgagor. Subject to the rights of insurers
under policies of insurance maintained by Mortgagor, Mortgagor
shall have the right to investigate, and the right to defend or
compromise, employing counsel reasonably acceptable to such
Indemnified Person (except as may otherwise be required by any
applicable policy of insurance), any Claim for which
indemnification is sought under this Section 8.1; provided that,
Mortgagor shall not be entitled to defend or compromise any such
Claim if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing or if such proceedings involve a material risk of the
sale, forfeiture, or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other
than a Permitted Lien) on, the Aircraft or other Collateral,
unless Mortgagor shall have posted a bond or other security
satisfactory to the relevant Indemnified Persons with respect to
such risk. The Indemnified Person shall cooperate with all
reasonable requests of Mortgagor in connection with any of the
foregoing. Where Mortgagor or the insurers under a policy of
insurance maintained by Mortgagor undertake the defense of an
Indemnified Person with respect to a Claim, no additional legal
fees or expenses of such Indemnified Person in connection with
the defense of such Claim shall be indemnified hereunder unless
such fees or expenses were incurred at the written request of
Mortgagor or such insurers; provided, however, that if (i) in the
written opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Person an actual
or potential material conflict of interest exists where it is
advisable for such Indemnified Person to be represented by
separate counsel or (ii) such Indemnified Person has been
indicted or otherwise charged in a criminal complaint and such
Indemnified Person informs Mortgagor that such Indemnified Person
desires to be represented by separate counsel, the reasonable
fees and expenses of any such separate counsel shall be borne by
Mortgagor. Subject to the requirements of any policy of insurance
applicable to a Claim, an Indemnified Person may participate at
its own cost and expense in any judicial proceeding controlled by
Mortgagor or its insurers pursuant to the preceding provisions,
provided that such party's participation does not, in the opinion
of the independent counsel appointed by Mortgagor or its insurers
to conduct such proceedings, unduly interfere with such control;
and such participation shall not constitute a waiver of the
indemnification provided in this Section 8.1. Nothing contained
in this Section 8.1(f) shall be deemed to require an Indemnified
Person to contest any Claim or to assume responsibility for or
control of any judicial proceeding with respect thereto. Payments
required to be made pursuant to this Section 8.1 to each
Indemnified Person shall be made directly to such Indemnified
Person in immediately available funds within 30 days after
written demand upon Mortgagor by such Indemnified Person. To the
extent permitted by applicable Law, interest at the highest rate
that may, under any circumstance (whether or not such
circumstance has or could actually occur), be applicable to the
Securities thereunder or under the terms of the Indenture shall
be paid, on demand, on any amount or indemnity not paid when due
pursuant to this Section 8.1 until the same shall be paid.
(g) Subrogation. To the extent that a Claim
indemnified by or on behalf of Mortgagor under this Section 8.1
is in fact paid in full by or on behalf of Mortgagor and/or an
insurer under a policy of insurance maintained by or on behalf of
Mortgagor, Mortgagor and/or
30
such insurer, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the
extent of such payment to the rights and remedies of the
Indemnified Person on whose behalf such Claim was paid with
respect to the transaction or event giving rise to such Claim.
Should an Indemnified Person receive any refund, in whole or in
part, with respect to any Claim paid by Mortgagor hereunder
(other than a refund pursuant to a separate insurance policy
maintained by an Indemnified Person, it shall (so long as no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing)
promptly pay over the amount refunded, together with any interest
received with respect to such amount for the period between the
indemnification payment and the receipt of such refund, to
Mortgagor.
(h) Waiver of Certain Claims. Mortgagor hereby waives
and releases any claim now or hereafter existing against any
Indemnified Person arising out of death or personal injury to
personnel of Mortgagor, loss or damage to Property of Mortgagor,
or the loss of use of any Property of Mortgagor, which results
from or arises out of the condition, use or operation of the
Aircraft prior to the payment in full of the Securities and all
other Obligations, including, without limitation, any latent or
patent defect whether or not discoverable, except as otherwise
provided in the Aircraft Sale Agreement.
(i) Certain Limitations. The general indemnification
provisions of this Section 8.1 are not intended to waive or
supersede any specific provisions of, or any rights or remedies
Mortgagor or Mortgagee may have under or with respect to, the
Aircraft Sale Agreement, the Indenture or any other Operative
Document to the extent such provisions, rights or remedies apply
to any Claim.
(j) Effect of Other Indemnities. The indemnification
obligations of Mortgagor under this Section 8.1 shall be those of
a primary obligor whether or not an Indemnified Person shall also
be indemnified with respect to the same matter under the terms of
any other instrument, and the Indemnified Person seeking
indemnification from Mortgagor pursuant to this Section 8 may
proceed directly against Mortgagor without first seeking to
enforce any other right of indemnification.
8.2 Tax Indemnification.
(a) Indemnitee Defined. For purposes of this Section
8.2, "Indemnitee" means Mortgagee, the Holders and their
respective Affiliates, successors and permitted transferees and
assigns.
(b) Taxes Indemnified. Subject to the exclusions
stated in Section 8.2(c), Mortgagor shall indemnify, pay, defend,
protect and hold harmless each Indemnitee against all Taxes,
howsoever imposed (whether imposed upon any Indemnitee,
Mortgagor, all or any part of the Aircraft, any other Collateral
or otherwise), by any federal, state or local government,
political subdivision, or taxing authority in the United States,
by any government or taxing authority of or in a foreign country
or of or in a territory or possession of the United States, or by
any international authority, upon or with respect to or in
connection with, based upon or measured by, in whole or in part:
31
(i) the Aircraft, the Airframe, the Engines, the
Parts, or any other Collateral or any part of any of
the foregoing or interest therein;
(ii) the manufacture, purchase, financing,
ownership, delivery, registration or reregistration,
redelivery, leasing, charter, possession, use,
location, operation, return, storage, transfer of
title, sale, acceptance, rejection or other
disposition of or action or event with respect to the
Aircraft, the Airframe, the Engines, the Parts, or any
other Collateral or any part of any of the foregoing
or interest therein;
(iii) the rentals, receipts, income or earnings
arising from the purchase, financing, ownership,
delivery, redelivery, leasing, possession, use,
operation, return, storage, transfer of title, sale or
other disposition of the Aircraft, the Airframe, the
Engines, the Parts, or any other Collateral or any
part of any of the foregoing or interest therein;
(iv) the Securities, their issuance or
acquisition, or the payments of any amounts
thereunder;
(v) the Property, or other proceeds received with
respect to the Property, held by Mortgagee hereunder;
or
(vi) the Operative Documents or amendments or
supplements thereto, their execution or the
transactions contemplated thereby.
(c) Taxes Excluded. The indemnity provided for in
Section 8.2(b) shall not extend to any of the following:
(i) Taxes on, based on, or measured by income
(including gross income), receipts, capital,
franchises, excess profits or conduct of business of
an Indemnitee, except to the extent Taxes of such type
would not have been imposed on such Indemnitee but for
the location of the Aircraft, activities or place of
incorporation or principal place of business of
Mortgagor or any other user of the Aircraft or any
Affiliate of any of the foregoing, registration of the
Aircraft, or payment of amounts due under any Security
or other Operative Document from, the jurisdiction of
the taxing authority imposing such Taxes;
(ii) Taxes imposed against a transferee of an
Indemnitee to the extent of the excess of such Taxes
over the amount of such Taxes which would have been
imposed had there not been a transfer by an Indemnitee
other than Mortgagee or its Affiliates of any interest
of such Indemnitee in the Aircraft, any Security, or
any Operative Document;
(iii) in the case of any Indemnitee, Taxes which
arise out of or are caused by (a) the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or a
Related Party (as defined below) with respect to such
Indemnitee or (b) such
32
Indemnitee's making a representation under any
Operative Document which proves to be untrue;
(iv) in the case of any Indemnitee, Taxes upon
(x) any voluntary transfer by such Indemnitee or a
Related Party with respect to such Indemnitee of all
or any portion of its interest in the Aircraft or any
part thereof, any Operative Document or any Security
(other than transfers which occur or result from the
exercise of any rights under Section 4) or (y) any
involuntary transfer of the Aircraft or any interest
therein or any Security, any Operative Document, or
shares of stock by an Indemnitee resulting from any
bankruptcy, foreclosure or similar proceedings in
which any Indemnitee is the debtor;
(v) United States withholding taxes imposed on
payments to a foreign Person;
(vi) Taxes imposed with respect to any fees
received by Mortgagee; or
(vii) Taxes imposed by Section 4795 of the Code
or any successor provision thereto.
For purposes of this Section 8.2, each transferee or
assignee of Mortgagee or a Holder shall be a "Related Party" with
respect to each other.
(d) Calculation of Indemnities. The amount Mortgagor
shall be required to pay with respect to any Tax indemnified
against under this Section 8.2 or with respect to any claim under
Section 8.1 shall be an amount that after taking into account any
Taxes, fees and other charges imposed upon the receipt of an
indemnity under this Section 8.2 or under Section 8.1 and any Tax
benefits recognized upon payment of such Taxes, equals the amount
otherwise due under Section 8.1. All computations for the
purposes hereof shall be based on the assumption that the
Indemnitee is taxable on all of its income at the highest
marginal rate in effect on the date payment pursuant to this
Section 8 is made.
(e) Procedures. Any amount payable to an Indemnitee
pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be paid within 60 days after
receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee
accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable
detail the basis for such indemnity and the computation of the
amount so payable; provided that such amount need not be paid
prior to the earlier of (i) the time such Taxes are paid or (ii)
in the case of amounts which are being contested by Mortgagor in
good faith or by the Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 8.2, the
time such contest is finally resolved. Within 30 days following
Mortgagor's receipt of the computation of the amount of the
indemnity, Mortgagor may request that an accounting firm to be
jointly selected by Mortgagor and such Indemnitee (but not
including the accounting firm that regularly prepares the
certified financial statements of Mortgagor or such Indemnitee)
determine whether such computations of the Indemnitee are
correct. The computations of such accounting firm shall be final,
binding and conclusive upon the parties, and Mortgagor shall have
no right to inspect the books, records or tax returns of the
Indemnitee to verify such computation. All fees and expenses
payable under this Section 8.2 in connection with such
verification shall be borne
33
by Mortgagor, unless such verification discloses an error adverse
to Mortgagor of 5% or more of the amount calculated by the
Indemnitee, in which case such fees shall be paid by the
Indemnitee.
(f) Contest. If a written claim is made against an
Indemnitee for Taxes with respect to which Mortgagor is liable
for payment or indemnity hereunder, such Indemnitee shall give
Mortgagor prompt notice in writing of such claim and shall
furnish Mortgagor with copies of any requests for information
from any taxing authority relating to such Taxes with respect to
which Mortgagor may be required to indemnify hereunder, but a
failure to give such notice or to furnish such requests shall not
diminish Mortgagor's obligations hereunder except to the extent
such failure precludes Mortgagor from exercising its contest
rights hereunder. The Indemnitee shall in good faith, and at
Mortgagor's expense, if timely requested in writing by Mortgagor,
contest in the name of the Indemnitee the validity, applicability
or amount of such Taxes by:
(i) resisting payment thereof if practical;
(ii) not paying the same except under protest if
protest is necessary and proper;
(iii) if the payment be made, using reasonable
efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate
administrative and judicial proceedings; or
(iv) taking such other action as is reasonably
requested by Mortgagor from time to time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
8.2(f), such Indemnitee shall not be required to take, and shall
not be required to permit Mortgagor to take, any administrative
or judicial action to contest any such Tax unless (A) Mortgagor
shall have agreed to pay such Indemnitee on demand and shall pay
all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses which such
Indemnitee may incur in connection with contesting such Taxes,
(B) no payment Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing unless Mortgagor shall have posted a satisfactory bond
with respect to such claim or provided other security therefor
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, (C) in the event of a
contest by or in the name of an Indemnitee or in the event of a
judicial contest, upon written request of the Indemnitee
Mortgagor shall provide to such Indemnitee within 30 days after
such request an Officers' Certificate to the effect that a
reasonable basis exists for contesting such claim, (D) prior to
commencing any judicial action, Mortgagor acknowledges its
liability hereunder on the contested amount, and (E) it shall
have been reasonably determined that the action to be taken will
not (i) result in the material danger of a sale, forfeiture or
loss of the Aircraft or Airframe (except if Mortgagor shall have
adequately bonded any Lien that results in such material danger
or otherwise made adequate provision reasonably satisfactory to
such Indemnitee to protect the interest of such Indemnitee) or
(ii) subject such Indemnitee to any material risk of criminal
prosecution. To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions
contained elsewhere in this Section 8.2(f), the Indemnitee shall
have control over the conduct of a contest of a claim hereunder
(except to the extent that a contest is being conducted by
Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions hereof).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Indemnitee shall release,
waive, compromise or settle any
34
claim which may be indemnifiable by Mortgagor pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2 without the express
written permission of Mortgagor, Mortgagor's obligation to
indemnify such Indemnitee with respect to such claim shall
terminate to that extent. Nothing contained in this Section 8.2
shall require any Indemnitee to contest, or require any
Indemnitee to permit Mortgagor to contest, a claim which such
Indemnitee would otherwise be required to contest pursuant to
this Section 8.2(f), if such Indemnitee shall waive its rights to
any indemnity payment by Mortgagor which would otherwise be
payable by Mortgagor pursuant to this Section 8.2 in respect of
such claim.
(g) Refund. Upon receipt by an Indemnitee of a refund
or credit of all or part of any Taxes which Mortgagor shall have
paid for such Indemnitee or for which Mortgagor shall have
reimbursed, advanced funds to or indemnified such Indemnitee,
such Indemnitee shall pay or repay to Mortgagor an amount which,
after the subtraction of the amount of any further net tax
savings realized by such Indemnitee as a result of the payment
under this Section 8.2(g), and the addition of any net tax
detriment realized by such Indemnitee as a result of the receipt
or accrual of such refund and any interest received or accrued by
such Indemnitee in such refund, is equal to the amount of such
refund and any interest received or accrued by such Indemnitee on
such refund; provided, that such amount shall be reduced by the
amount of any payment or indemnity then due from Mortgagor to or
on behalf of such Indemnitee pursuant to the Securities or the
Operative Documents and not made (and any amount so withheld
shall not be payable before such time and to such extent as
Mortgagor shall have made such payments or indemnities). Any
subsequent loss of such refund and interest as an erroneous
refund shall be indemnifiable in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 8.2 (disregarding Section 8.2(c)).
(h) Return. So long as the Aircraft is subject to the
Lien of this Agreement Mortgagor will prepare and file all
property tax returns with respect to the Aircraft, except with
respect to any such return that Mortgagor is not permitted to
file under applicable Law.
8.3 Survival of Indemnities. The agreement and indemnities
contained in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 shall survive the discharge of
this Agreement (but only with respect to any Person who was
entitled to the benefit of such agreements and indemnities at or
prior to the time of such termination) but only to the extent
relating to claims, obligations and other liabilities arising out
of acts or events occurring, or otherwise attributable to the
period, prior to the payment in full of the Securities and all
other Obligations.
9. MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 Performance by Mortgagee. If Mortgagor shall fail to
maintain, or cause to be maintained, any insurance required to be
carried pursuant to this Agreement, Mortgagee may obtain the same
for the account of Mortgagor; and Mortgagor shall pay to
Mortgagee interest (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) at
the highest rate that may, under any circumstance (whether or not
such circumstance has or could actually occur), be applicable to
the Securities thereunder or under the Indenture, computed on the
basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, on
the amount of any such payment from the date made until the date
reimbursed by Mortgagor pursuant hereto. If Mortgagor shall fail
in a timely and effective
35
manner to take and complete any other action that it has herein
undertaken to perform, strictly in accordance with the provisions
hereof, Mortgagee may do or cause the same to be done; and there
shall be added to the indebtedness secured hereby any loss, cost
or expense incurred by or on behalf of Mortgagee incurring such
default or failure, or caused to be suffered by Mortgagee through
the incorrectness or breach of any of the covenants, agreements,
representations or warranties of Mortgagor herein or by any other
default of Mortgagor hereunder; and all sums so lost or expended
shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest as provided in
the first sentence of this Section 9.1, and Mortgagee shall be
subrogated to all of the rights against Mortgagor of any Person
to whom it shall have made any payment or payments under the
foregoing authority.
9.2 Power of Attorney. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably
appoints Mortgagee, and its successors and assigns, the true and
lawful attorney of Mortgagor (with the full power of
substitution), in the name and place and at the expense of
Mortgagor, (i) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for
amounts collected or received pursuant to Section 4 hereof, (ii)
at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default and so
long as the same shall be continuing, to make all necessary
transfers of all or any part of the Collateral in connection with
any sale or other disposition thereof made pursuant to such
Section 4, (iii) at any time after the occurrence of any such
Event of Default and so long as the same shall be continuing, to
execute and deliver for value all necessary instruments of
negotiation, assignment and transfer, (iv) at any time after the
occurrence of any such Event of Default and so long as the same
shall be continuing, to employ legal counsel and to appear in its
name in any court in any jurisdiction to commit and compromise
and discharge any alleged Lien, charge or other encumbrance
asserted against any of the Collateral, in any manner and by any
means that shall to it or them, in its or their sole and complete
discretion, seem proper; provided, however, that any such
undertaking on the part of Mortgagee shall not qualify in any
manner or to any extent or degree the obligation of Mortgagor so
to defend its title to, and the security interest of Mortgagee
in, the Collateral and every part thereof and (v) to file and
record such copies or memoranda hereof and financing statements,
continuation statements and other instruments or documents with
respect to the security interest created hereby as Mortgagee may
deem desirable fully to protect its interest hereunder, and for
such purpose Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee to effect any
such filings or recordings without the signature of Mortgagor to
the extent permitted by applicable Law, Mortgagor hereby
ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney shall
lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto and acknowledging that
its said attorney shall have no duty, by virtue of this Section
9.2 or at the risk of otherwise waiving or qualifying the
obligation of Mortgagor to do so, to do any of the above acts.
9.3 Waiver, etc., by Mortgagor. To the fullest extent that
it may now and hereafter lawfully so agree, Mortgagor hereby
agrees that it shall not at any time plead, claim or take the
benefit of any appraisal, valuation, extension, moratorium,
redemption or other law now or hereafter in effect in any
jurisdiction in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of any
provision of this Agreement or the indebtedness or agreements
secured hereby, or the absolute sale of any portion of or all the
Collateral to any purchaser at any sale under Section 4 hereof;
and Mortgagor, for itself and all who may claim through it, to
the fullest extent that it or they now and hereafter may lawfully
so agree, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws. Any sale
36
of, grant of options to purchase or other realization against all
or any part of the Collateral shall operate to divest all right,
title and interest, at law, in equity and otherwise, of Mortgagor
in and to the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, and
shall be a perpetual bar, at law, in equity and otherwise,
against Mortgagor and against any and all persons claiming or
attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized
upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under Mortgagor. No
delay on the part of Mortgagee in exercising any power of sale,
Lien or option, or any other right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, and no notice or demand that may be given to or made
upon Mortgagor with respect to any such power, right or remedy,
shall constitute a waiver thereof or limit or impair the right of
Mortgagee to take any other or similar action or to exercise any
power of sale, Lien or option, or any other right or remedy
granted in this Agreement or in any other agreement secured
hereby or otherwise available to Mortgagee; nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude
any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any
power, right or remedy granted in this Agreement or otherwise
available to Mortgagee, or prejudice its rights against Mortgagor
in any respect. Each and every remedy of Mortgagee shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable Law, be cumulative and in addition
to any other remedy granted hereunder or now or hereafter
available to it at law, in equity or otherwise.
9.4 Amendment, etc. Neither this Agreement nor any
provision hereof may be amended, modified, waived or discharged
orally, but only by an instrument in writing in accordance with
Article 9 of the Indenture. No waiver by Mortgagee of any breach
or default of or by Mortgagor under this Agreement, any other
agreement or indebtedness secured hereby, or otherwise, shall be
deemed a waiver of any other or similar, previous or subsequent
breach or default.
9.5 [Intentionally Omitted.]
9.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all
obligations of Mortgagor hereunder shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of Mortgagor permitted under the
Indenture, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of
Mortgagee hereunder, inure to the benefit of Mortgagee, the
Holders, and their respective successors and assigns. Any
assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void ab initio.
9.7 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are
severable, and if any clause or provision shall be held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction,
then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect in that
jurisdiction only such clause or provision, or part thereof, and
shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any
other jurisdiction or any other clause or provision of this
Agreement in any jurisdiction. Any impairment or invalidity,
under the laws of any jurisdiction, of this Agreement, in its
aspect as security for any portion of the Obligations, hereunder
or under the Securities, the Indenture or the other Operative
Documents, for any portion of any other indebtedness or
obligation secured hereby, shall not impair or invalidate this
Agreement as security for any other portion thereof.
37
9.8 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) The laws of the State of New York shall govern
this Agreement without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
(b) Mortgagee and Mortgagor each waive any right to
have a jury participate in resolving any dispute, whether
sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise arising out of,
connected with, related to or incidental to the relationship
established between them in connection with this Agreement.
Instead, any disputes resolved in court will be resolved in a
bench trial without a jury.
9.9 Notices; Waivers. Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other document provided or
permitted by this Agreement to be made upon, given or furnished
to, or filed with the parties hereto and/or the Holders, as the
case may be, shall be made, given, furnished or filed in the
manner and subject to the provisions of Section 11.2 of the
Indenture.
9.10 No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This
Agreement may not be used to interpret any agreement of Mortgagor
or any of its Subsidiaries which is unrelated to this Agreement
or the other Operative Documents. Any such agreement may not be
used to interpret this Agreement.
9.11 Benefits of Agreement Restricted. Subject to the
provisions of Section 9.6 hereof, nothing in this Agreement,
express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any
Person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and
the Holders, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
or in respect of this Agreement or under any covenant, condition,
or provision herein contained, all such covenants, conditions and
provisions, subject to Section 9.6 hereof, being for the sole
benefit of the parties hereto and of the Holders.
9.12 Counterpart Originals. This Agreement may be signed in
two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the
same agreement.
9.13 Effect of Headings. The Section headings and the Table
of Contents contained in this Agreement have been inserted for
convenience of reference only, and are and shall be without
substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not
a part of this Agreement.
9.14 Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code. It is the
intention of the parties that the security interest created by
this Agreement shall be a security interest within the meaning of
Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. ss. 1110) which
shall entitle Mortgagee to all of the benefits of such Section or
any similar successor provision with respect to the right to
repossess the Airframe, Engines and Parts as provided herein; and
in any circumstances where more than one construction of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement is possible, a
construction which would preserve such benefits shall control
over any construction which would not preserve such benefits or
would render them doubtful. In that regard, the parties
38
acknowledge and agree that the security interest created by this
Agreement is intended to be a purchase-money security interest
retained and taken by Mortgagee for the benefit of the holders of
the Securities as seller of the Collateral to Mortgagor to secure
the purchase price of the Collateral as evidenced by the
Operative Documents. To the extent consistent with the provisions
of such Section 1110 or any analogous Section of the Federal
bankruptcy laws, as amended from time to time, it is hereby
expressly agreed and provided that, notwithstanding any other
provisions of the Federal bankruptcy laws, as amended from time
to time, any right of Mortgagee to take possession of the
Aircraft in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement
shall not be affected by the provisions of 11 U.S.C. ss. 362 or
ss. 363, as amended from time to time, or any analogous
provisions of any superseding statute or any power of the
bankruptcy court to enjoin such taking of possession. It is the
intention of the parties that the entitlement to such benefits
shall not be adversely affected by any sale or other transfer of
any Security to a subsequent Holder or by any modification of the
terms hereof, of the Securities or of the other Operative
Documents.

It is further certified that Mortgagee has an interest in
respect of the Aircraft under the Agreement. Accordingly,
with respect to losses occurring during the period from the
Issue Date until the expiry of the Insurance or until the
expiry or agreed termination of the Agreement or until the
obligations under the Agreement are terminated by any
action of Mortgagor or Mortgagee and it is confirmed that
the Insurance afforded by the Policy is in full force and
effect and it is further agreed that the following
provisions are specifically endorsed to the Policy.
1. UNDER THE HULL (ALL RISKS AND HULL WAR AND ALLIED RISKS)
AND AIRCRAFT SPARES INSURANCES
[MORTGAGEE ONLY-NO OTHER CONTRACT PARTIES] In respect of
any claim on the Aircraft that becomes payable on the basis of a
total loss, settlement shall be made to, or to the order of
Mortgagee and Equity Notes Trustee, as their interests may
appear, and no other loss payee, up to the Agreed Value. With
respect to repairable damage to the Aircraft or any Engine,
Mortgagee will receive all insurance proceeds in excess of
US$ 500,000; provided that upon receipt by the insurance broker
of written notice of a Default on the part of Mortgagor, all
insurance proceeds which otherwise would be payable to Mortgagor
will be made directly to Mortgagee. In respect of any other
claim, settlement (net of any relevant policy deductible) shall
be made with such party(ies) as may be necessary to repair the
Aircraft unless otherwise agreed after consultation between the
Insurers and the insured and, where necessary under the terms of
the Agreement with Mortgagee. Such payments shall only be made
provided they are in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations.
Insurers agree 50/50 settlement in terms of AVS 103.
4
Insurers have no right to replace the Aircraft on a Total
Loss (arranged, constructive or otherwise).
Insurers recognize that Mortgagor and Mortgagee have agreed
that a Total Loss of the Airframe will constitute a Total Loss of
the Aircraft.
"Constructive Total Loss" means any physical damage loss
for which the cost to repair equals or exceeds one-half of the
Agreed Value of the Aircraft. As part of a constructive total
loss of the Aircraft, the insured will abandon the Aircraft to
the underwriter.
In the event of Total Loss of the Aircraft, Insurers agree
to pay Mortgagee all amounts up to the Agreed Value based solely
upon Mortgagee's (not Mortgagor's) execution of the appropriate
form of release/discharge document; Mortgagee may sign any
required release in lieu of the Insured in the event of a Total
Loss, Constructive Total Loss or Arranged Total Loss.
"Cut-through clause": The Reinsurers and the Insurers
confirm and agree that in the event of any claim arising under
the hull reinsurances where such claim is to be paid to the
person named as sole loss payee under the primary insurances, the
Reinsurers shall in lieu of payment to the Insurers, their
successors in interest and assigns, pay to the person named as
sole loss payee under the primary insurances that portion of any
loss due for which the Reinsurers would otherwise be liable to
pay the Insurers (subject to proof of loss), it being understood
and agreed that any such payment by any Reinsurers shall (to the
extent of such payment) fully discharge and release such
Reinsurer from any and all further liability in connection
therewith and provide for payment to be made notwithstanding (a)
any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or dissolution of the
Insurers; and (b) that the Insurers have made no payment under
the original insurance policies.
Insurers confirm that if the Airframe and not the Engines
suffers a Total Loss, Constructive Total Loss or Arranged Total
Loss that Mortgagee will receive the entire Agreed Value
regardless of any claim by any third party to the insurance
proceeds on account of their engines being installed on the
airframe at the time of the Total Loss, Constructive Total Loss
or Arranged Total Loss.
2. UNDER THE LEGAL LIABILITY INSURANCE
Subject to the provisions of this Endorsement, the
Insurance shall operate in all respects as if a separate Policy
had been issued covering each party insured hereunder, but this
provision shall not operate to include any claim howsoever
arising in respect of loss or damage to the Aircraft insured
under the Hull or Spares Insurance of the Insured.
Notwithstanding the foregoing the total liability of Insurers in
respect of any and all Insureds shall not exceed the limits of
liability stated in the Policy.
The Insurance provided hereunder shall be primary and
without right of contribution from any other insurance which may
be available to Mortgagee.
5
This Endorsement does not provide coverage for Mortgagee
with respect to claims arising out of its legal liability as
manufacturer, repairer, or servicing agent of the Aircraft.
3. UNDER ALL INSURANCES
Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, and (with respect to
Aviation and Airline General Third Party Liability only) its
directors, officers and employees for their respective rights and
interests, are included as Additional Insured.
The cover afforded to Mortgagee by the Policy in accordance
with this Endorsement shall not be invalidated by any act or
omission (including misrepresentation and non-disclosure) of any
other person or party which results in a breach of any term,
condition or warranty of the Policy.
Additional Insureds shall have no responsibility for
premium and insurers shall waive any right of set-off or
counterclaim against Additional Insureds.
Upon payment of any loss or claim to or on behalf of
Mortgagee, Insurers will not have, and shall waive all rights
with respect to, subrogation against, any Additional Insured.
Except in respect of any provision for Cancellation or
Automatic Termination specified in the Policy or any endorsement
thereof, cover provided by this Endorsement may only be canceled
or materially altered in a manner adverse to Mortgagee by the
giving of not less than thirty (30) days notice in writing to the
appointed broker except with respect to nonpayment of premium, in
which event the Insurers will provide Mortgagee with not less
than ten (10) days prior written notice of the cancellation.
Notice shall be deemed to commence from the date such notice is
given by the Insurers. Such notice will NOT, however, be given at
normal expiry date of the Policy or any endorsement.
The insurance policy is being delivered in the United
States and will in all respects be governed by and construed in
accordance with the Laws of the United States or any applicable
State thereof. The underwriter consents to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the federal courts of the United States.
4. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY VARIED OR PROVIDED BY THE TERMS OF
THE ENDORSEMENT:
MORTGAGOR IS COVERED BY THE POLICY SUBJECT TO ALL TERMS,
CONDITIONS, LIMITATIONS, WARRANTIES, EXCLUSIONS AND CANCELLATION
PROVISIONS THEREOF.
THE POLICY SHALL NOT BE VARIED BY ANY PROVISIONS CONTAINED
IN THE AGREEMENT WHICH PURPORT TO SERVE AS AN ENDORSEMENT OR
AMENDMENT TO THE POLICY.
