MASTER AGREEMENT
United Air Lines, Inc. and AFE Trust
---------------------------- --------------------------
have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a
"Transaction") that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which
includes the schedule (the "Schedule"), and the documents and other confirming
evidence (each a "Confirmation") exchanged between the parties confirming those
Transactions.
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:--
1. Interpretation
(a) Definitions. The terms defined in Section 12 and in the Schedule will have
the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.
(b) Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of
the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule
will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any
Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the Schedule), such
Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant Transaction.
(c) Single Agreement. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the
fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement
between the parties (collectively referred to as this "Agreement"), and the
parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.
2. Obligations
(a) General Conditions.
(i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each
Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement.
(ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for
value on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant
Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely
transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the
required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by
payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the
manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in
the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.
(iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to
(1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of
Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing,
(2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of
the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and
(3) each other applicable condition precedent specified in this Agreement.
(b) Change of Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a
payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local
Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which
such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable
objection to such change.
(c) Netting. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:--
(i) in the same currency; and
(ii) in respect of the same Transaction,
by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to make
payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and,
if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party
exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other
party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate
amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the
larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.
The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount
will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the
same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such
amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be
made in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii)
above will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the
election, together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above
will not, or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This
election may be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will
apply separately to each pairing of branches or offices through which the
parties make and receive payments or deliveries.
(d) Default Interest; Other Amounts. Prior to the occurrence or effective
designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction,
a party that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the
extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest
(before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on
demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and
including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of
actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the
basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to
the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect
of the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any
obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other
party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation
or elsewhere in this Agreement.
3. Representations
Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed
to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered
into) that:--
(a) Basic Representations.
(i) Status. It is duly organised and validly existing under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation and, if relevant
under such laws, in good standing;
(ii) Powers. It has the power to execute this Agreement and any other
documentation relating to this Agreement to which it is a party, to deliver
this Agreement and any other documentation relating to this Agreement that
it is required by this Agreement to deliver and to perform its obligations
under this Agreement and any obligations it has under any Credit Support
Document to which it is a party and has taken all necessary action to
authorise such execution, delivery and performance;
(iii) No Violation or Conflict. Such execution, delivery and performance
do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of
its constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other
agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any
contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets;
(iv) Consents. All governmental and other consents that are required to
have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit
Support Document to which it is a party have been obtained and are in full
force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied
with; and
(v) Obligations Binding. Its obligations under this Agreement and any
Credit Support Document to which it is a party constitute its legal, valid
and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganisation, insolvency,
moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and
subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general
application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
equity or at law)).
(b) Absence of Certain Events. No Event of Default or Potential Event of
Default or, to its knowledge, Termination Event with respect to it has occurred
and is continuing and no such event or circumstance would occur as a result of
its entering into or performing its obligations under this Agreement or any
Credit Support Document to which it is a party.
(c) Absence of Litigation. There is not pending or, to its knowledge,
threatened against it or any of its Affiliates any action, suit or proceeding at
law or in equity or before any court, tribunal, governmental body, agency or
official or any arbitrator that is likely to affect the legality, validity or
enforceability against it of this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to
which it is a party or its ability to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or such Credit Support Document.
(d) Accuracy of Specified Information. All applicable information that is
furnished in writing by or on behalf of it to the other party and is identified
for the purpose of this Section 3(d) in the Schedule is, as of the date of the
information, true, accurate and complete in every material respect.
4. Agreements
Each party agrees with the other that, so long as either party has or may have
any obligation under this Agreement or under any Credit Support Document to
which it is a party:--
(a) Furnish Specified Information. It will deliver to the other party any
forms, documents or certificates specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation
by the date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation or, if none is
specified, as soon as reasonably practicable.
(b) Maintain Authorisations. It will use all reasonable efforts to maintain in
full force and effect all consents of any governmental or other authority that
are required to be obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit
Support Document to which it is a party and will use all reasonable efforts to
obtain any that may become necessary in the future.
(c) Comply with Laws. It will comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws and orders to which it may be subject if failure so to comply
would materially impair its ability to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party.
5. Events of Default and Termination Events
(a) Events of Default. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or,
if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity
of such party of any of the following events constitutes an event of default (an
"Event of Default") with respect to such party:--
(i) Failure to Pay or Deliver. Failure by the party to make, when due,
any payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(d)
required to be made by it if such failure is not remedied on or before the
third Local Business Day after notice of such failure is given to the
party;
(ii) Breach of Agreement. Failure by the party to comply with or perform
any agreement or obligation (other than an obligation to make any payment
under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(d) or to give
notice of a Termination Event) to be complied with or performed by the
party in accordance with this
3
Agreement if such failure is not remedied on or before the thirtieth day
after notice of such failure is given to the party;
(iii) Credit Support Default.
(1) Failure by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such
party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation to be
complied with or performed by it in accordance with any Credit
Support Document if such failure is continuing after any
applicable grace period has elapsed;
(2) the expiration or termination of such Credit Support
Document or the failing or ceasing of such Credit Support
Document to be in full force and effect for the purpose of this
Agreement (in either case other than in accordance with its
terms) prior to the satisfaction of all obligations of such party
under each Transaction to which such Credit Support Document
relates without the written consent of the other party; or
(3) the party or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms,
disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, or
challenges the validity of, such Credit Support Document;
(iv) Misrepresentation. A representation made or repeated or deemed to
have been made or repeated by the party or any Credit Support Provider of
such party in this Agreement or any Credit Support Document proves to have
been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or repeated
or deemed to have been made or repeated;
(v) Default under Specified Transaction. The party, any Credit Support
Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party (1)
defaults under a Specified Transaction and, after giving effect to any
applicable notice requirement or grace period, there occurs a liquidation
of, an acceleration of obligations under, or an early termination of, that
Specified Transaction, (2) defaults, after giving effect to any applicable
notice requirement or grace period, in making any payment or delivery due
on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early
termination of, a Specified Transaction (or such default continues for at
least three Local Business Days if there is no applicable notice
requirement or grace period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or
rejects, in whole or in part, a Specified Transaction (or such action is
taken by any person or entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act
on its behalf);
(vi) Cross Default. If "Cross Default" is specified in the Schedule as
applying to the party, the occurrence or existence of (1) a default, event
of default or other similar condition or event (however described) in
respect of such party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any
applicable Specified Entity of such party under one or more agreements or
instruments relating to Specified Indebtedness of any of them (individually
or collectively) in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable
Threshold Amount (as specified in the Schedule) which has resulted in such
Specified Indebtedness becoming, or becoming capable at such time of being
declared, due and payable under such agreements or instruments, before it
would otherwise have been due and payable or (2) a default by such party,
such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity (individually or
collectively) in making one or more payments on the due date thereof in an
aggregate amount of not less than the applicable Threshold Amount under
such agreements or instruments (after giving effect to any applicable
notice requirement or grace period);
(vii) Bankruptcy. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or
any applicable Specified Entity of such party:--
(1) is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation,
amalgamation or merger); (2) becomes insolvent or is unable to
pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability
generally to pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a
general assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the
benefit of its creditors; (4) institutes or has instituted
against it a proceeding seeking a
4
judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under
any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting
creditors' rights, or a petition is presented for its winding-up
or liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding or
petition instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or
petition (A) results in a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or
the entry of an order for relief or the making of an order for
its winding-up or liquidation or (B) is not dismissed,
discharged, stayed or restrained in each case within 30 days of
the institution or presentation thereof; (5) has a resolution
passed for its winding-up, official management or liquidation
(other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger);
(6) seeks or becomes subject to the appointment of an
administrator, provisional liquidator, conservator, receiver,
trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or
substantially all its assets; (7) has a secured party take
possession of all or substantially all its assets or has a
distress, execution, attachment, sequestration or other legal
process levied, enforced or sued on or against all or
substantially all its assets and such secured party maintains
possession, or any such process is not dismissed, discharged,
stayed or restrained, in each case within 30 days thereafter; (8)
causes or is subject to any event with respect to it which, under
the applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect
to any of the events specified in clauses (1) to (7) (inclusive);
or (9) takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its
consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing
acts; or
(viii) Merger Without Assumption. The party or any Credit Support
Provider of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or
into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity
and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer:--
(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to
assume all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support
Provider under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to
which it or its predecessor was a party by operation of law or
pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other
party to this Agreement; or
(2) the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend
(without the consent of the other party) to the performance by
such resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations
under this Agreement.
(b) Termination Events. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or,
if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity
of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the
event is specified in (i) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit
Event Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant to (ii) below or an
Additional Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (iii)
below:--
(i) Illegality. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable
law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the
promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any court,
tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any
applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a result
of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which will be the
Affected Party):--
(1) to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a
payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in
respect of such Transaction or to comply with any other material
provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or
(2) to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party
to perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party
(or such Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit Support
Document relating to such Transaction;
5
(ii) Credit Event Upon Merger. If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is specified
in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party ("X"), any Credit
Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates
or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or
substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action does not
constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the
creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is
materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such
Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action
(and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate, will
be the Affected Party); or
(iii) Additional Termination Event. If any "Additional Termination Event"
is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the
occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or
Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional Termination
Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).
(c) Event of Default and Illegality. If an event or circumstance which would
otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an
Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event
of Default.
6. Early Termination
(a) Right to Terminate Following Event of Default. If at any time an Event of
Default with respect to a party (the "Defaulting Party") has occurred and is
then continuing, the other party (the "Non-defaulting Party") may, by not more
than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of
Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an
Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however,
"Automatic Early Termination" is specified in the Schedule as applying to a
party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions
will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an
Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the
extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the
institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant
petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default
specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).
(b) Right to Terminate Following Termination Event.
(i) Notice. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will,
promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the
nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and will
also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other
party may reasonably require.
(ii) Two Affected Parties. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1)
occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use all
reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice thereof
is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination Event.
(iii) Right to Terminate. If:--
(1) an agreement under Section 6(b)(ii) has not been effected
with respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an
Affected Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or
(2) an Illegality other than that referred to in Section
6(b)(ii), a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination
Event occurs,
either party in the case of an Illegality, any Affected Party in the case
of an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected
Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a Credit
Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one
Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party and
provided that the relevant Termination Event is then continuing,
6
designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an
Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.
(c) Effect of Designation.
(i) If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section
6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so
designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination
Event is then continuing.
(ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination
Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(d) in
respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but
without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount, if
any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be determined
pursuant to Section 6(e).
(d) Calculations.
(i) Statement. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the
occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the
calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will
provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail,
such calculations (including all relevant quotations and specifying any
amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the relevant
account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of
written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in determining
a Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such quotation will
be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation.
(ii) Payment Date. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any
Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that
notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early
Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of
Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on
which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early
Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event).
Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under
applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment), from
(and including) the relevant Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the
date such amount is paid, at the Applicable Rate. Such interest will be
calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days
elapsed.
(e) Payments on Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the
following provisions shall apply based on the parties' election in the Schedule
of a payment measure, either "Market Quotation" or "Loss", and a payment method,
either the "First Method" or the "Second Method". If the parties fail to
designate a payment measure or payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed
that "Market Quotation" or the "Second Method", as the case may be, shall apply.
The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and
determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.
(i) Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an
Event of Default:--
(1) First Method and Market Quotation. If the First Method and
Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-
defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the sum
of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party)
in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Unpaid Amounts
owing to the Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Unpaid Amounts
owing to the Defaulting Party.
(2) First Method and Loss. If the First Method and Loss apply,
the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a
positive number, the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in respect of
this Agreement.
7
(3) Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method
and Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to
(A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-
defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and
the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (B) the
Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If that amount is a
positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-
defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting
Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the
Defaulting Party.
(4) Second Method and Loss. If the Second Method and Loss
apply, an amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting
Party's Loss in respect of this Agreement. If that amount is a
positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-
defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting
Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the
Defaulting Party.
(ii) Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a
Termination Event:--
(1) One Affected Party. If there is one Affected Party, the
amount payable will be determined in accordance with Section
6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4),
if Loss applies, except that, in either case, references to the
Defaulting Party and to the Nondefaulting Party will be deemed to
be references to the Affected Party and the party which is not
the Affected Party, respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer
than all the Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be
calculated in respect of all Terminated Transactions.
(2) Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected Parties:--
(A) if Market Quotation applies, each party will
determine a Settlement Amount in respect of the
Terminated Transactions, and an amount will be payable
equal to (I) the sum of (a) one-half of the difference
between the Settlement Amount of the party with the
higher Settlement Amount ("X") and the Settlement
Amount of the party with the lower Settlement Amount
("Y") and (b) the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II)
the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and
(B) if Loss applies, each party will determine its
Loss in respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than
all the Transactions are being terminated, in respect
of all Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be
payable equal to one-half of the difference between the
Loss of the party with the higher Loss ("X") and the
Loss of the party with the lower Loss ("Y").
If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X;
if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that
amount to Y.
(iii) Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early
Termination Date occurs because "Automatic Early Termination" applies in
respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be
subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to
reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under
this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from
the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined
under Section 6(d)(ii).
(iv) Pre-Estimate. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an
amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of
loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and
the loss of protection against future risks and except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement neither party will be entitled to recover any
additional damages as a consequence of such losses.
8
7. Transfer
Neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement
may be transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party
without the prior written consent of the other party, except that:--
(a) a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a
consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all
or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any
other right or remedy under this Agreement); and
(b) a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any
amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).
Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void.
8. Miscellaneous
(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes
all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto.
(b) Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this
Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by
a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an
exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging system.
(c) Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and
6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the
termination of any Transaction.
(d) Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights,
powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by law.
(e) Counterparts and Confirmations.
(i) This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect
of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by
facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original.
(ii) The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each
Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or
otherwise). A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable and
may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile
transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of
electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, which in each case
will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to
this Agreement. The parties will specify therein or through another
effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message
constitutes a Confirmation.
(f) No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or
privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a
waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will
not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right,
power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
(g) Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting this Agreement.

Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the early termination of any
Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of collection.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
(a) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the law specified in the Schedule.
(b) Jurisdiction. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to
this Agreement ("Proceedings"), each party irrevocably:--
(i) submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts, if this Agreement
is expressed to be governed by English law, or to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States
District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, if
this Agreement is expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New
York; and,
(ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of
venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that
such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further
waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such
court does not have any jurisdiction over such party.
10

any other jurisdiction (outside, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed
by English law, the Contracting States, as defined in Section 1(3) of the Civil
Jurisdiction and Judgments Xxx 0000 or any modification, extension or re-

"Loss" means, with respect to this Agreement or one or more Terminated
Transactions, as the case may be, and a party, an amount that party reasonably
determines in good faith to be its total losses and costs (or gain, in which
case expressed as a negative number) in connection with this Agreement or that
Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions, as the case may be,
including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or, at the election of such party
but without duplication, loss or cost incurred as a result of its terminating,
liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related trading position
(or any gain resulting from any of them). Loss includes losses and costs (or
gains) in respect of any payment or delivery required to have been made
(assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) on or before the

leading dealers in the relevant markets.
"Market Quotation" means, with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions
and a party making the determination, an amount determined on the basis of
quotations from Reference Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount,
if any, that would be paid to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by
such party (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement
between such party (taking into account any existing Credit Support Document
with respect to the obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference Market-
maker to enter into a transaction (the "Replacement Transaction") that would
have the effect of preserving for such party the economic equivalent of any
payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or
contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent)
by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transaction
or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the
relevant Early Termination Date, have been required after that date. For this
purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment
or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been
required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after
that Early Termination Date is to be included. The Replacement Transaction
would be subject to such documentation as such party and the Reference Market-
maker may, in good faith, agree. The party making the determination (or its
agent) will request each Reference Market-maker to provide its quotation to the
extent reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to
different time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant
Early Termination Date.
12
The day and time as of which those quotations are to be obtained will be
selected in good faith by the party obliged to make a determination under
Section 6(e), and, if each party is so obliged, after consultation with the
other. If more than three quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be
the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations having
the highest and lowest values. If exactly three such quotations are provided,
the Market Quotation will be the quotation remaining after disregarding the
highest and lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more than one quotation has
the same highest value or lowest value, then one of such quotations shall be
disregarded. If fewer than three quotations are provided, it will be deemed that
the Market Quotation in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions cannot be determined.

evidence of any actual cost) to the Non-defaulting Party (as certified by it) if
it were to fund the relevant amount.
"Non-defaulting Party" has the meaning specified in Section 6(a).
"Potential Event of Default" means any event which, with the giving of notice or
the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default.
"Reference Market-makers" means four leading dealers in the relevant market
selected by the party determining a Market Quotation in good faith (a) from
among dealers of the highest credit standing which satisfy all the criteria that
such party applies generally at the time in deciding whether to offer or to make
an extension of credit and (b) to the extent practicable, from among such
dealers having an office in the same city.
"Scheduled Payment Date" means a date on which a payment or delivery is to be
made under Section 2(a)(i) with respect to a Transaction.
"Set-off" means set-off, offset, combination of accounts, right of retention or
withholding or similar right or requirement to which the payer of an amount
under Section 6 is entitled or subject (whether arising under this Agreement,
another contract, applicable law or otherwise) that is exercised by, or imposed
on, such payer.
"Settlement Amount" means, with respect to a party and any Early Termination
Date, the sum of:--
(a) the Market Quotations (whether positive or negative) for each Terminated
Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation is
determined; and
(b) such party's Loss (whether positive or negative and without reference to
any Unpaid Amounts) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions for which a Market Quotation cannot be determined or would not (in
the reasonable belief of the party making the determination) produce a
commercially reasonable result.
"Specified Entity" has the meaning specified in the Schedule.
"Specified Indebtedness" means, subject to the Schedule, any obligation (whether
present or future, contingent or otherwise, as principal or surety or otherwise)
in respect of borrowed money.
"Specified Transaction" means, subject to the Schedule, (a) any transaction
(including an agreement with respect thereto) now existing or hereafter entered
into between one party to this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such
party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party) and the other party to
this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such other party or any
applicable Specified Entity of such other party) which is a rate swap
transaction, basis swap, forward rate transaction, commodity swap, commodity
option, equity or equity index swap, equity or equity index option, bond option,
interest rate option, foreign exchange transaction, cap transaction, floor
transaction, collar transaction, currency swap transaction, cross-currency rate
swap transaction, currency option or any other similar transaction (including
any option with respect to any of these transactions), (b) any combination of
these transactions and (c) any other transaction identified as a Specified
Transaction in this Agreement or the relevant confirmation.
13
"Terminated Transactions" means with respect to any Early Termination Date (a)
if resulting from a Termination Event, all Affected Transactions and (b) if
resulting from an Event of Default, all Transactions (in either case) in effect
immediately before the effectiveness of the notice designating that Early
Termination Date (or, if "Automatic Early Termination" applies, immediately
before that Early Termination Date).
"Termination Event" means an Illegality or, if specified to be applicable, a
Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event.
"Termination Rate" means a rate per annum equal to the arithmetic mean of the
cost (without proof or evidence of any actual cost) to each party (as certified
by such party) if it were to fund or of funding such amounts.
"Unpaid Amounts" owing to any party means, with respect to an Early Termination
Date, the aggregate of (a) in respect of all Terminated Transactions, the
amounts that became payable (or that would have become payable but for Section
2(a)(iii)) to such party under Section 2(a)(i) on or prior to such Early
Termination Date and which remain unpaid as at such Early Termination Date and
(b) in respect of each Terminated Transaction, for each obligation under Section
2(a)(i) which was (or would have been but for Section 2(a)(iii)) required to be
settled by delivery to such party on or prior to such Early Termination Date and
which has not been so settled as at such Early Termination Date, an amount equal
to the fair market value of that which was (or would have been) required to be
delivered as of the originally scheduled date for delivery, in each case
together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest, in the
currency of such amounts, from (and including) the date such amounts or
obligations were or would have been required to have been paid or performed to
(but excluding) such Early Termination Date, at the Applicable Rate. Such
amounts of interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the
actual number of days elapsed. The fair market value of any obligation referred
to in clause (b) above shall be reasonably determined by the party obliged to
make the determination under Section 6(e) or, if each party is so obliged, it
shall be the average of the fair market values reasonably determined by both
parties.

(other than in respect of an Additional Termination Event relating to a
Leased Aircraft) shall be the sum of the Senior Swap Termination Amount
and Junior Swap Termination Amount set forth on Appendix II to this

other Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event exists
with respect to Party A or otherwise.
1.8. "Additional Termination Event" will apply. Each of the following
shall constitute an Additional Termination Event under this Confirmation:
1.8.1 Leased Aircraft
(x) If an Event of Loss under and as defined in a Lease
in respect of a Leased Aircraft occurs and Party B
does not substitute another aircraft pursuant to
such Lease and, in connection with such
substitution, obtain a Ratings Confirmation, then
the Transaction evidenced by this Confirmation, to
the extent relating to such Lease, shall terminate
in part on the related Early Termination Date,
without any termination payment by either Party A or
Party B under Section 6(e) of the Master Agreement
as incorporated in this Confirmation other than the
Final Periodic Payment to be made hereunder.
(y) If Party B elects an early termination of a Lease
and the related Leased Equipment Notes are prepaid
as a result thereof, then the Transaction evidenced
by this Confirmation, to the extent relating to such
Lease, shall terminate in part on the related Early
Termination Date, without any termination payment by
either Party A or Party B under Section 6(e) of the
Master Agreement as incorporated in this
Confirmation other than the Final Periodic Payment
to be made hereunder.
(z) In the event of a Lease Event of Default under and
as defined in a Lease in respect of a Leased

payments made on the related Leased Equipment Notes
as a result of such disposition) without any
termination payment by either Party A or Party B
under Section 6(e) of the Master Agreement as
incorporated in this Confirmation other than the
Final Periodic Payment to be made hereunder.

in part as a result of the events noted above, either Party A or Party B (in the
case of an event described in subclause (x) or (y) above) or Party A (in the
case of an event described in subclause (z) above) may terminate the affected
portion of the Transaction by designating an Early Termination Date with respect
to such affected portion, the terminated portion thereof shall be the
"Terminated Transaction", the Final Periodic Payment, if any, shall become due
and payable, the Principal Notional Amount applicable to this Confirmation
shall be reduced by an amount equal to the portion of the Principal Notional
Amount allocable to the affected Leased Aircraft as specified in Exhibit A to
Appendix I to this Schedule to the Master Agreement as incorporated in this
Confirmation and the Senior Swap Termination Amount and the Junior Swap
Termination Amount applicable to this Confirmation shall be reduced by an amount
equal to the Senior Swap Termination Amount and Junior Swap Termination Amount,
respectively, allocable to the affected Leased Aircraft as specified in Exhibit
A to Appendix II to this Schedule to the Master Agreement as incorporated in
this Confirmation. No such termination shall release Party B from its
obligation to make any payment to Party A under Section 2(a)(i) of the Master
Agreement as incorporated in this Confirmation or other applicable provision of
this Confirmation due on or before the date of such termination.
1.8.2 Owned Aircraft:

identified in paragraph 2 "Summary of Transaction
Terms" of, this Confirmation and Party B does not
substitute another aircraft therefor in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.01 of such Owned
Aircraft Indenture and obtain a Ratings Confirmation
in connection with such substitution, then the
Transaction evidenced by this Confirmation shall
terminate upon payment in full of the United
Equipment Notes (such term
-3-
having the same meaning herein as such term has in
the Intercreditor Agreement) issued under such Owned
Aircraft Indenture and Party B shall make a
termination payment under Section 6(e) of the Master
Agreement as incorporated in this Confirmation in

aircraft pursuant to paragraph (n) of Part 5 of this
Schedule to the Master Agreement as incorporated in
this Confirmation and obtain a Ratings Confirmation
in connection therewith, then the Transaction
evidenced by this Confirmation shall terminate upon
the prepayment in full of such United Equipment
Notes and Party B shall make a termination payment
under Section 6(e) of the Master Agreement as
