embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by an agent duly appointed
in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action
shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the
Pass Through Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Companies, any Equipment Trust Trustee or the Indenture Trustee. Such
instrument or instrument (and the action embodied therein and evidenced

Certificateholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution
of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Pass Through Trust Agreement and conclusive
in favor of the Pass Through Trustee, the Companies, any Equipment Trust

sworn to before any such notary or such other officer and where such execution
is by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a partnership,
on behalf of such corporation, association or partnership, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact
and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority
of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other reasonable
manner which the Pass Through Trustee deems sufficient. In the absence of bad
faith on the part of the Pass Through Trustee, an Officer's Certificate may be
deemed to be conclusively proved.
(c) In determining whether the Certificateholders of the requisite
Fractional Undivided Interests of Certificates Outstanding have given any
direction, consent or waiver (a "Direction"), under this Pass Through Trust
Agreement, Certificates owned by either of the Companies, the Owner Trustee,
the Owner Participant or any Affiliate of any such Person shall be disregarded
and deemed not to be Outstanding under this Pass Through Trust Agreement for
purposes of any such determination. In determining whether the Pass Through
Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such Direction, only
Certificates which the Pass Through Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so
disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any such Person owns 100%
of the Certificates Outstanding, such Certificates shall not be so disregarded
as aforesaid, and (ii) if any amount of Certificates so owned by any such
Person have been pledged in good faith, such Certificates shall not be
disregarded as aforesaid if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the
Pass Through Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such
Certificates and that the pledgee is not either of the Companies, the Owner
Trustee, the Pass Through Trustee, the Owner Participant or any Affiliate of
any such Person.
-14-

(d) Union, on behalf of the Companies, may at its option by delivery
of an Officer's Certificate to the Pass Through Trustee set a record date to
determine the Certificateholders entitled to give any consent, request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, waiver or other Act. Notwithstanding Section
316(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, such record date shall be the record date
specified in such Officer's Certificate which shall be a date not more than 30
nor less than 15 days prior to the first solicitation of Certificateholders in
connection therewith. If such a record date is fixed, such consent, request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver or other Act may be given
before or after such record date, but only the Certificateholders of record at
the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be
Certificateholders for the purposes of determining whether Certificateholders
of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Certificates have authorized or
agreed or consented to such consent, request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Certificates
shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such consent,
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver or other act by the
Certificateholders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it
shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement not later
than one year after the record date.
(e) Any direction, consent, waiver or other action by the
Certificateholder of any Certificate shall bind the Certificateholder of every
Certificate issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu
thereof, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.
(f) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.4(c), Certificates
owned by or pledged to any Person shall have an equal and proportionate benefit
under the provisions of this Pass Through Trust Agreement, without preference,
priority, or distinction as among all of the Certificates.

for and acceptance of each Certificate issued to it hereunder, each initial
Certificateholder as grantor of the Trust thereby joins in the creation and
declaration of the Trust.
SECTION 2.3. Limitation of Powers. The Pass Through Trust is
constituted solely for the purpose of making the investment in the Equipment
Notes and the ETCs, and, except as set forth herein, the Pass Through Trustee
is not authorized or empowered to acquire any other investments or engage in
any other activities and, in particular, the Pass Through Trustee is not
authorized or empowered to do anything that would cause the Pass Through Trust
to fail to qualify as a "grantor trust" for federal income tax purposes
(including as subject to this restriction, acquiring any Equipment (as defined
in the Indenture) by bidding the Equipment
-18-
25
Notes, the ETCs or otherwise, or taking any action with respect to any such
Equipment once acquired).
SECTION 2.4. Sale of Equipment Notes Under Certain Circumstances. If
Union elects, in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Participation Agreement,
to refund or refinance Equipment Notes, the Pass Through Trustee shall, upon
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10.2 of the Participation
Agreement, transfer such Equipment Notes to the Person designated by Union and
will take any other action reasonably required to effect such refunding.

THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 3.1. Form, Denomination and Execution of Certificates. The
Certificates shall be issued in fully registered form without coupons and shall
be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, together with the
Guarantee of Union attached thereto in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B, with such omissions, variations and insertions as are permitted
by this Pass Through Trust Agreement, and may have such letters, numbers or
other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements printed,
lithographed, typewritten or engraved thereon, as may be required to comply
with the rules of any securities exchange on which the Certificates may be
listed or to conform to any usage in respect thereof, or as may, consistently
herewith, be prescribed by the Pass Through Trustee or by the officer executing
such Certificates, such determination by such officer to be evidenced by his or
her signing of the Certificates.
Except as provided in Section 3.9, the definitive Certificates (the
"Registered Certificates") shall be printed, lithographed, typewritten or
engraved or produced by any combination of these methods or may be produced in
any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities exchange on which the
Certificates may be listed, all as determined by the officer executing such
Certificates, as evidenced by his execution of such Certificates.
The Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 or
any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate
may be issued in a denomination of less than $1,000 (the "De Minimis
Certificate").
The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Pass Through
Trustee by manual or facsimile signature of a Responsible Officer of the Pass
Through Trustee. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an
individual who was, at the time when such signature was affixed, authorized to
sign on behalf of the Pass Through Trustee shall be valid and binding
obligations of the Pass Through Trustee, notwithstanding that such individual
has ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such office at the date of such Certificates. No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Pass Through Trust
Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such
-19-
26
Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth
in Exhibit A hereto executed by the Pass Through Trustee by manual signature,
and such certificate of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the
date of their authentication.
SECTION 3.2. Authentication of Certificates. The Pass Through
Trustee shall duly authenticate and deliver Certificates in authorized
denominations equalling in the aggregate the aggregate principal amount of the
Equipment Notes and the ETCs, as the case may be, to be purchased by the Pass
Through Trustee pursuant to the Equipment Trust Agreements, this Pass Through
Trust Agreement and the Participation Agreement, and evidencing the entire
ownership of the Trust.
SECTION 3.3. Temporary Certificates. Pending the preparation of
Registered Certificates, the Pass Through Trustee may execute, authenticate and
deliver temporary Certificates which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, or
otherwise produced, in any denomination, containing substantially the same
terms and provisions as set forth in Exhibit A, except for such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations relating to their
temporary nature as the officer executing such temporary Certificates may
determine, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Certificates.
The Companies will cause Registered Certificates to be prepared
without unreasonable delay after such Registered Certificates are required to
be issued pursuant to Section 3.9(d). After the preparation of Registered
Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for Registered
Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Pass Through Trustee, or at the office or agency of the
Pass Through Trustee maintained in accordance with Section 7.12, without charge
to the holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Certificates, the Pass Through Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver
in exchange therefor Registered Certificates of authorized denominations of a
like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest; shall destroy any such temporary
Certificate(s) theretofore delivered and exchanged; and shall certify, in
writing, to the Companies such destruction. Until so exchanged, such temporary
Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Pass Through Trust Agreement as Registered Certificates.
SECTION 3.4. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
The Pass Through Trustee shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office
or the office or agency to be maintained by it in accordance with the
provisions of Section 7.12 a register (the "Register") in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Pass Through Trustee shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided. The Pass Through Trustee shall initially be
the registrar (the "Registrar") for the purpose of registering Certificates and
transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
-20-
27
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the
Corporate Trust Office or such other office or agency, the Pass Through Trustee
shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized
denominations of a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like aggregate
Fractional Undivided Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Pass Through Trustee shall execute, authenticate
and deliver the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Pass Through Trustee
and the Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder thereof or its
attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Pass Through
Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange
shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Pass Through Trustee. The
Pass Through Trustee shall provide the Companies with written certification as
to the destruction of all such Certificates.
SECTION 3.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If
(a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Registrar, or the Registrar
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Registrar and the Pass Through
Trustee such security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by them to save
each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Registrar or the
Pass Through Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Pass Through Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like Fractional Undivided Interest with the
same final Regular Distribution Date. In connection with the issuance of any
new Certificate under this Section 3.5, the Pass Through Trustee shall 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 Pass Through Trustee and the Registrar) connected
therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall
constitute conclusive evidence of the appropriate Fractional Undivided Interest
in the Pass Through Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 3.6. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Pass Through Trustee, the
Registrar, and any Paying Agent of the Pass Through Trustee may treat the
person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the
-21-
28
owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant
to Section 4.2 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Pass
Through Trustee, the Registrar, nor any Paying Agent of the Pass Through
Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 3.7. Cancellation. All Certificates surrendered for payment
or transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person party hereto other
than the Registrar, be delivered to the Registrar for cancellation. No
Certificates shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any
Certificates canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Pass Through Trust Agreement. All canceled Certificates held
by the Registrar shall be destroyed and a certification of their destruction
delivered to the Pass Through Trustee and the Companies.
SECTION 3.8. Limitation of Liability for Payments. All payments or
distributions made to Certificateholders under this Pass Through Trust
Agreement shall be made only from the Trust Property and only to the extent
that the Pass Through Trustee shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the
Trust Property to make such payments in accordance with the terms of Article IV
of this Pass Through Trust Agreement. Each Certificateholder, by its
acceptance of a Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the income and
proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for distribution to
the Certificateholder thereof as provided in this Pass Through Trust Agreement.
SECTION 3.9. Book-Entry and Registered Certificates.
(a) Except for the De Minimis Certificate (if any), the Certificates
may be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing
the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company,
the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Certificate Owners. In
such case, the Certificates delivered to The Depository Trust Company shall
initially be registered on the Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee
of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a
Registered Certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in the
Certificates, except as provided above and in Subsection (d) below. Except
with respect to the De Minimis Certificate (if any), unless and until
Registered Certificates have been issued pursuant to Subsection (d) below:
(i) the provisions of this Section 3.9 shall be in full force
and effect;
(ii) the Companies, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the
Pass Through Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all
purposes (including the making of distributions on the Certificates)
as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners;
(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.9
conflict with any other provisions of this Pass Through Trust
Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.9 shall control;
-22-
29
(iv) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only
through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established
by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing
Agency Participants; and until Registered Certificates are issued
pursuant to Subsection (d) below, the Clearing Agency will make
book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and
receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest and
Make-Whole Amount, if any, on the Certificates to such Clearing Agency
Participants; and
(v) whenever this Pass Through Trust Agreement requires or
permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of
Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing a specified
percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests, the Clearing Agency
shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that
it has received instructions to such effect from Certificate Owners
and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing,
respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in
Certificates and has delivered such instructions to the Pass
Through Trustee. The Pass Through Trustee shall have no obligation to
determine whether the Clearing Agency has in fact received any such
instructions.
(b) Except with respect to the De Minimis Certificate (if any),
whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required
under this Pass Through Trust Agreement, unless and until Registered
Certificates shall have been issued pursuant to Subsection (d) below, the Pass
Through Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein
to be given to Certificateholders to the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing
Agency Participants, and shall make available additional copies as requested by
such Clearing Agency Participants.
(c) Unless and until Registered Certificates are issued pursuant to
Subsection (d) below, on the Record Date prior to each Regular Distribution
Date and Special Distribution Date, the Pass Through Trustee will request from
the Clearing Agency a Securities Position Listing setting forth the names of
all Clearing Agency Participants reflected on the Clearing Agency's books as
holding interests in the Certificates on such Record Date. The Pass Through
Trustee will mail to each such Clearing Agency Participant the statements
described in Section 4.3 hereof.
(d) If (i) Union, on behalf of the Companies, advises the Pass
Through Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or
able to properly discharge its responsibilities and the Pass Through Trustee or
Union, on behalf of the Companies is unable to locate a qualified successor,
(ii) Union, on behalf of the Companies, at its option, advises the Pass Through
Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through
the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided
Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Pass Through
Trust, by act of such Certificate Owners delivered to the Companies, and the
Pass Through Trustee, advise the Pass Through Trustee and the Clearing Agency
through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a
book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best
interests of the Certificate Owners, then the Pass Through Trustee shall notify
all Certificate Owners, through the Clearing Agency,
-23-
30
of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Registered
Certificates. Upon surrender to the Pass Through Trustee of all the
Certificates held by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration of Registered
Certificates in the names of Certificate Owners, the Pass Through Trustee shall
issue and deliver the Registered Certificates in accordance with the
instructions of the Clearing Agency. Upon the issuance of Registered
Certificates pursuant to this Section 3.9(d), the Record Date with respect to
such Registered Certificates shall be the fifth Business Day preceding a
Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date, as applicable. Neither
the Companies, the Registrar, the Paying Agent nor the Pass Through Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such registration
instructions. Upon the issuance of Registered Certificates, the Pass Through
Trustee shall recognize the Persons in whose name the Registered Certificates
are registered as the Certificateholders hereunder. Neither the Companies nor
the Pass Through Trustee shall be liable if the Pass Through Trustee or Union,
on behalf of the Companies is unable to locate a qualified successor Clearing
Agency.
(e) The Pass Through Trustee shall enter into the Letter of
Representations and fulfill its responsibilities thereunder.

distribution) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address
appearing in the Register, such Certificateholder's pro rata share (based on
the aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest held by such Certificateholder) of

(c) The Pass Through Trustee shall at the expense of the Companies
cause notice of each Special Payment to be mailed to each Certificateholder at
his address as it appears in the Register. In the case of a Special Payment
other than pursuant to the fifth paragraph of Section 2.1(b) or the fifth

interest,
(iii) the reason for the Special Payment, and

Regular Distribution Date, the total amount to be received on such
date for each $1,000 face amount Certificate.
If the amount of Make-Whole Amount, if any, payable upon the
prepayment of an Equipment Note has not been calculated at the time that the
Pass Through Trustee mails notice of a Special Payment, it shall be sufficient
if the notice sets forth the other amounts to be distributed and states that
any Make-Whole Amount received will also be distributed.
If any prepayment of the Equipment Notes is canceled, the Pass Through
Trustee, as soon as possible after learning thereof, shall cause notice thereof
to be mailed to each Certificateholder at its address as it appears on the

Person was a Certificateholder of record during a portion of such calendar
year, for the applicable portion of such year, and such other items as are
readily available to the Pass Through Trustee and which a Certificateholder

Certificateholder's preparation of its Federal income tax returns. Such report

the Pass Through Trustee by the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be
delivered by the Pass Through Trustee to such Clearing Agency Participants to

by the Pass Through Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1(b) representing a Special
Payment which is not to be promptly distributed shall, to the extent
practicable, be invested in Permitted Investments by the Pass Through Trustee
pending distribution of such Special Payment pursuant to Section 4.2. Any
investment made pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be in such Permitted
Investments having maturities not later than the date that such moneys are
required to be used to make the payment required under Section 4.2 on the
applicable Special Distribution Date and the Pass Through Trustee shall hold
any such Permitted Investments until maturity. The Pass Through Trustee shall
have no liability with respect to any investment made pursuant to this Section

Companies, at its own cost and expense, will do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence, rights and franchises, except as otherwise specifically permitted in

to preserve any right or franchise if it shall determine that the preservation
thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business.
SECTION 5.2. Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets Permitted.
(a) Union shall not consolidate with or merge into any other
corporation or sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any
Person, nor shall Union permit Procor to consolidate with or merge into any
other corporation or sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to
any Person (other than an Affiliate of Union), unless the corporation formed by
such consolidation or into which Union or Procor, as applicable, is merged or
the Person which acquires by sale or conveyance all or substantially all of the
assets of Union or Procor, as applicable, shall be a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State or the
District of Columbia or, in the case of Procor any province of Canada, and
shall execute and deliver to the Pass Through Trustee an agreement in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Pass Through Trustee containing an assumption by
such successor corporation of the due and punctual performance and observance
of each covenant and condition of this Agreement to which Union or Procor, as
applicable, is a party.
(b) Immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of
Default, no Indenture Default, no Equipment Trust Default, and no event that,
after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, an
Indenture Default or an Equipment Trust Default, shall have occurred and be
continuing.
Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale or conveyance, of all or
substantially all of the assets of Union or Procor, as the case may be, the
successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which Union or
Procor, as the case may be, is merged or to which such sale or conveyance is
made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and
power of, Union or Procor, as the case may be, under this Agreement with the
same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as Union or Procor,
as the case may be, herein. No such sale or conveyance of all or substantially
all of the assets of Union or Procor, as the case may be, as an entirety shall
have the effect of releasing Union or Procor, as the case may be, or any
successor corporation which shall theretofore have become such from its
liability hereunder.
(c) The Pass Through Trustee may accept an Officer's Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel of Union, on behalf of the Companies, as conclusive
evidence that any such
-28-

consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and any such assumption
complies with the provisions of this Section 5.2.
ARTICLE VI
DEFAULT
SECTION 6.1. Events of Default. If an Indenture Default under the
Indenture or an Equipment Trust Default under either Equipment Trust Agreement
(an "Event of Default") shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and
every case, so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the Pass
Through Trustee may vote all of the Equipment Notes issued under the Indenture
or ETCs issued under either of the Equipment Trust Agreements, as the case may
be, to which such Event of Default relates that are held in the Trust Property,
and upon the direction of the Certificateholders holding Certificates
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority
in interest in the Pass Through Trust, the Trustee shall vote a corresponding
majority of such Equipment Notes or such ETCs, as the case may be, in favor of
directing the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or the Equipment Trust
Trustee under such Equipment Trust Agreement, as the case may be, to declare
the unpaid principal amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding under the
Indenture or the ETCs then outstanding under such Equipment Trustee Agreement,
as the case may be, and accrued interest thereon to be due and payable under,
and in accordance with the provisions of, the Indenture or such Equipment Trust
Agreement, as the case may be. In addition, if an Indenture Default shall have
occurred and be continuing under the Indenture or an Equipment Trust Default
shall have occurred and be continuing under either Equipment Trust Agreement,
the Pass Through Trustee may, and upon the direction of the Certificateholders
holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not
less than a majority in interest in the Pass Through Trust, shall, vote all of
the Equipment Notes issued under such Indenture or the ETCs issued under such
Equipment Trust Agreement, as the case may be, to which such Event of Default
relates that are held in the Pass Through Trust to direct such Indenture
Trustee or such Equipment Trust Trustee, as the case may be, regarding the
exercise of remedies provided in Article V of the Indenture or Article V of
such Equipment Trust Agreement, as the case may be. In addition, if an
Equipment Trust Default has occurred and is continuing under the Procor ETC,
the Pass Through Trustee in its own name, or as trustee of an express trust, or
as attorney-in-fact for the Certificateholders, may, and upon direction of
Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided
Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Pass Through
Trust, shall, pursue such remedies as available to the Pass Through Trustee
against Union under the Guarantee.
In addition, after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to any Equipment Notes or ETCs, the Pass Through
Trustee may in its discretion, and upon the direction of the Certificateholders
holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not
less than a majority in interest in the Pass Through Trust shall, by such
officer or agent as it may appoint, sell, convey, transfer and deliver (to the
extent permitted by
-29-
36
applicable law) all or part of such Equipment Notes or ETCs, without recourse
to or warranty by the Pass Through Trustee or any Certificateholder, to any
Person. In any such case, the Pass Through Trustee shall sell, assign,
contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver such Equipment Note or
Equipment Notes or ETC or ETCs in one or more parcels at public or private sale
or sales, at any location or locations at the option of the Pass Through
Trustee, all upon such terms and conditions as it may reasonably deem advisable
and at such prices as it may reasonably deem advisable, for cash. If the Pass
Through Trustee so decides or is required to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Equipment Note or ETC pursuant to this Section, the Pass Through Trustee shall
take such of the actions described above as it may reasonably deem most
effectual to complete the sale or other disposition of such Equipment Note or
ETC, so as to provide for the payment in full of all amounts due on the
Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action taken by the Pass
Through Trustee under this Section shall not, in the reasonable judgment of the
Pass Through Trustee, be adverse to the best interests of the
Certificateholders and the Pass Through Trustee shall give written notice to
Procor of its proposed sale of the Procor ETC or any part thereof at least 20
days prior to the proposed sale. Such notice shall constitute an offer to
Procor to sell the Procor ETC or such part thereof to Procor for a price equal
to the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, including interest at the Penalty Rate (as defined in the
Procor Equipment Trust Agreement), if any, plus all other amounts due and owing
thereunder and the costs and expenses incurred by the Pass Through Trustee, the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Owners in connection with the collection
thereof and enforcement of remedies relating thereto. If prior to the
expiration of such 20 day period, Procor pays the purchase price aforesaid to
the Pass Through Trustee, the Pass Through Trustee shall transfer all of its
right, title and interest in and to the Procor ETC or such part thereof to
Procor. If Procor does not pay such purchase price to the Pass Through Trustee
prior to the expiration of such 20 day period, the Pass Through Trustee shall
be free to sell the Procor ETC under this paragraph to any Person. The Pass
Through Trustee shall be required to give no more than one notice under this
paragraph and Procor acknowledges that the failure of any proposed sale of the
Procor ETC or part thereof shall not entitle Procor to receive any additional
notice hereunder.
If, with respect to any Equipment Notes, an Indenture Default shall
have occurred and be continuing and the Owner Trustee, which is a party to the
Indenture has elected, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.04(b) of
the Indenture, to purchase all of the then outstanding Equipment Notes issued
under the Indenture at a price equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount
thereof, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such purchase,
then the Pass Through Trustee shall sell to such Owner Trustee all of the
Equipment Notes issued under the Indenture held in the Pass Through Trust at a
price equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount thereof, together with
accrued interest thereon to the date of such sale.
In no event shall (i) an Indenture Default constitute an Equipment
Trust Default or (ii) an Equipment Trust Default constitute an Indenture
Default.

SECTION 6.2. Incidents of Sale of Equipment Notes and ETCs. Upon any
sale of all or any part of the Equipment Notes or ETCs, as the case may be,
made either under the power of sale given under this Pass Through Trust
Agreement or otherwise for the enforcement of this Pass Through Trust
Agreement, the following shall be applicable:
(i) Certificateholders and Pass Through Trustee May Purchase
Equipment Notes or ETCs. Any Certificateholder, the Pass Through
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity or any other Person
may bid for and purchase any of the Equipment Notes or ETCs, as the
case may be, and upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold,
retain, possess and dispose of such Equipment Notes or ETCs, as the
case may be, in their own absolute right without further
accountability; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply
to the sale of Equipment Notes or ETCs, as the case may be, pursuant
to the last paragraph of Section 6.1.
(ii) Receipt of Pass Through Trustee Shall Discharge
Purchaser. The receipt of the Pass Through Trustee or of the officer
making such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to any purchaser for
his purchase money, and, after paying such purchase money and
receiving such receipt, such purchaser or its personal representative
or assigns shall not be obliged to see to the application of such
purchase money, or be in any way answerable for any loss,
misapplication or non-application thereof.
(iii) Application of Moneys Received Upon Sale. Any moneys
collected by the Pass Through Trustee upon any sale made either under
the power of sale given by this Pass Through Trust Agreement or
otherwise for the enforcement of this Pass Through Trust Agreement,
shall be applied as provided in Section 4.2(b).
SECTION 6.3. Judicial Proceedings Instituted by Pass Through Trustee.
(a) Pass Through Trustee May Bring Suit. If there shall be a failure
to make payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on
any Equipment Note or ETC, or if there shall be any failure to pay Rent (as
defined in the Lease) under the Lease when due and payable, then the Pass
Through Trustee, in its own name, and as trustee of an express trust, as holder
of such Equipment Notes or ETC, shall be, to the extent permitted by and in
accordance with the terms of the Note Documents or ETC Documents, entitled and
empowered to institute any suits, actions or proceedings at law, in equity or
otherwise, for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid on such Equipment
Notes or ETCs or under the Lease and may prosecute any such claim or proceeding
to judgment or final decree with respect to the whole amount of any such sums
so due and unpaid.
(b) Pass Through Trustee May File Proofs of Claim; Appointment of
Pass Through Trustee as Attorney-in-Fact in Judicial Proceedings. The Pass
Through Trustee in its own name, or as trustee of an express trust, or as
attorney-in- fact for the Certificateholders, or in any one or more of such
capacities (irrespective of whether distributions on the Certificates shall
then be due and payable, or the payment of the principal on the Equipment Notes
or ETCs, as the
-31-
38
case may be, shall then be due and payable, as therein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Pass Through Trustee
shall have made any demand to the Indenture Trustee for the payment of overdue
principal, Make-Whole Amount (if any) or interest on Equipment Notes or ETCs,
as the case may be), shall be entitled and empowered to file such proofs of
claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order
to have the claims of the Pass Through Trustee and of the Certificateholders
allowed in any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, readjustment,
reorganization or any other judicial proceedings relative to the Companies, the
Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, the Equipment Trust Trustees or their
respective creditors or property. Any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator (or similar official) in any judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Certificateholder to make payments in respect of such claim
to the Pass Through Trustee and, in the event that the Pass Through Trustee
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Certificateholders, to pay to the Pass Through Trustee any amount due to it for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Pass
Through Trustee, its agents and counsel. Nothing contained in this Pass
Through Trust Agreement shall be deemed to give to the Pass Through Trustee any
right to accept or consent to any plan of reorganization or otherwise by action
of any character in any such proceeding to waive of change in any way any right
of any Certificateholder.
SECTION 6.4. Control by Certificateholders. Subject to Section 2.3,
the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided
Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Pass Through
Trust shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Pass Through Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Pass Through Trustee under this
Pass Through Trust Agreement, including any right of the Pass Through Trustee
as holder of the Equipment Notes or ETCs, provided that:
(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of
law or with this Pass Through Trust Agreement and would not involve
the Pass Through Trustee in personal liability or expense,
(ii) the Pass Through Trustee shall not determine that the
action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the
Certificateholders not taking part in such direction,
(iii) the Pass Through Trustee may take any other action
deemed proper by the Pass Through Trustee which is not inconsistent
with such direction, and
(iv) if an Indenture Default under the Indenture or an
Equipment Trust Default under either Equipment Trust Agreement shall
have occurred and be continuing, such direction shall not obligate the
Trustee to vote more than a corresponding majority of the related
Equipment Notes or ETCs, as the case may be, held by the Trust in
favor of directing any action by the Indenture Trustee with respect to
such Indenture Default or by the Equipment Trust Trustee with respect
to such Equipment Trust Default, as the case may be.
-32-
39
SECTION 6.5. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Certificateholders holding
Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less
than a majority in interest in the Pass Through Trust may on behalf of all of
the Certificateholders waive any past Event of Default hereunder and its
consequences or may instruct the Pass Through Trustee to waive any past default
under the Indenture, either Equipment Trust Agreement or this Agreement and its
consequences, except a default (i) in the payment of the principal of,
Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on any Equipment Notes or ETCs, as the
case may be, or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under
Article IX hereof cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
Certificateholder holding each Outstanding Certificate affected.
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist with respect
to this Pass Through Trust Agreement, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Pass
Through Trust Agreement and any direction given by the Pass Through Trustee on
behalf of such Certificateholders to the Indenture Trustee or Equipment Trust
Trustee, as the case may be, shall be annulled with respect thereto; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default
or impair any right consequent thereon. Upon any such waiver, the Pass Through
Trustee shall vote all the Equipment Notes issued under the Indenture or ETCs
issued under the relevant Equipment Trust Agreement, as the case may be, to
waive the corresponding Default.
SECTION 6.6. Undertaking to Pay Court Costs. All parties to this
Pass Through Trust Agreement, and each Certificateholder by his acceptance of a
Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit, action or proceeding for the enforcement of
any right or remedy under this Pass Through Trust Agreement, or in any suit,
action or proceeding against the Pass Through Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as Pass Through Trustee hereunder, the filing by any party
litigant in such suit, action or proceeding of an undertaking to pay the costs
of such suit, action or proceeding, and that such court may, in its discretion,
assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, against any
party litigant in such suit, action or proceeding, having due regard to the
merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant;
provided, however, that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a)
any suit, action or proceeding instituted by any Certificateholder or group of
Certificateholders evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating more
than 10% of the Pass Through Trust, (b) any suit, action or proceeding
instituted by any Certificateholder for the enforcement of the distribution of
payments pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof on or after the respective due dates
expressed herein or (c) any suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Pass
Through Trustee or as to which the Pass Through Trustee is made a party.
SECTION 6.7. Right of Certificateholders to Receive Payments Not to
Be Impaired. Anything in this Pass Through Trust Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, including without limitation Section 6.8 hereof, the right of
any Certificateholder to receive distributions of payments required pursuant to
Section 4.2 hereof on the Certificates when due, or to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after the applicable Regular Distribution
-33-
40
Date or Special Distribution Date, shall not be impaired or affected without
the consent of such Certificateholder.
SECTION 6.8. Certificateholders May Not Bring Suit Except Under
Certain Conditions. A Certificateholder shall not have the right to institute
any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity or otherwise with respect to
this Pass Through Trust Agreement, for the appointment of a receiver or for the
enforcement of any other remedy under this Pass Through Trust Agreement,
unless:
(i) such Certificateholder previously shall have given
written notice to the Pass Through Trustee of a continuing Event of
Default;
(ii) the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the
Pass Through Trust shall have requested the Pass Through Trustee in
writing to institute such action, suit or proceeding and shall have
offered to the Pass Through Trustee indemnity as provided in Section
7.3(v);
(iii) the Pass Through Trustee shall have refused or
neglected to institute any such action, suit or proceeding for 60 days
after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity; and
(iv) no direction inconsistent with such written request has
been given to the Pass Through Trustee during such 60-day period by
the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional
Undivided Interests aggregating not less than an a majority in
interest in the Pass Through Trust.
It is understood and intended that no one or more of the
Certificateholders shall have any right in any manner whatever hereunder or
under the Certificates to (x) surrender, impair, waive, affect, disturb or
prejudice any property in the Trust Property or the lien of the Indenture or
any Equipment Trust Agreement on any property subject thereto, or the rights of
the Certificateholders or the holders of the Equipment Notes or ETCs, as the
case may be, (y) obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any
other such Certificateholder or (z) enforce any right under this Pass Through
Trust Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all the Certificateholders subject to the
provisions of this Pass Through Trust Agreement.
SECTION 6.9. Remedies Cumulative. Every remedy given hereunder to
the Pass Through Trustee or to any of the Certificateholders shall not be
exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and every such remedy shall be
cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter given by statute, law, equity or otherwise.

SECTION 7.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default,
(i) the Pass Through Trustee undertakes to perform only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Pass Through Trust
Agreement, and no implied covenants, duties or obligations shall be
read into this Pass Through Trust Agreement against the Pass Through
Trustee; and
(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Pass
Through 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 Pass Through Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Pass Through Trust Agreement;
but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any
provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Pass
Through Trustee, the Pass Through Trustee shall be under a duty to
examine the form of the same to determine whether or not they
substantially conform to the requirements of this Pass Through Trust
Agreement, but shall be under no duty to investigate the facts
contained therein.
(b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Pass Through Trustee shall exercise such of the right and powers vested in it
by this Pass Through Trust Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill
in its exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of his own affairs.
(c) No provision of this Pass Through Trust Agreement shall be

misconduct, except that

effect of Subsection (a) of this Section;
(ii) the Pass Through Trustee shall not be liable for any
error of judgement made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the

exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Pass Through Trustee,
under this Pass Through Trust Agreement; and
(iv) no provision of this Pass Through Trust Agreement shall
require the Pass Through Trustee to expend or risk its own funds in

this Pass Through Trust Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the
liability of or affording protection to the Pass Through Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section.

such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee
or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Pass
Through Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is
in the interests of the Certificateholders. For the purpose of this Section,

this paragraph any grace period or notice in connection therewith shall be
disregarded.

in Section 7.1:
(i) the Pass Through Trustee may rely and shall be protected
in acting or refraining from acting in reliance upon any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,

believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties;

Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the cost, expenses
and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such
request or direction;

cooperate in the defense. The Pass Through Trustee, in its individual

In addition, the Pass Through Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement from, and shall have a lien prior to the Certificates upon, all
property and funds held or collected by the Pass Through Trustee in its
capacity as Pass Through Trustee for any tax incurred without negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct, on its part, arising out of or in connection with
the acceptance or administration of this Pass Through Trust (other than any tax
attributable to the Pass Through Trustee's compensation for serving as such),
including any costs and expenses reasonably incurred in contesting the

The Pass Through Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust

-39-
46
In case at any time the Pass Through Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.8, the Pass
Through Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 7.9.
SECTION 7.9. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
(a) No resignation or removal of the Pass Through Trustee and no
appointment of a successor Pass Through Trustee pursuant to this Article shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Pass
Through Trustee under Section 7.10.
(b) The Pass Through Trustee may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Companies, the Authorized Agents, the Owner Trustees, the
Equipment Trust Trustees and the Indenture Trustee. If an instrument of
acceptance by a successor Pass Through Trustee shall not have been delivered to
the Companies, the Owner Trustee, the Equipment Trust Trustees and the
Indenture Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Pass Through Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Pass Through Trustee.
(c) The Pass Through Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the
Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided
Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Pass Through
Trust delivered to the Pass Through Trustee and to the Companies, the Owner

(d) If at any time:
(i) the Pass Through Trustee shall fail to comply with
Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act after written request therefor
by the Companies or by any Certificateholder who has been a bona fide
Certificateholder for at least six months; or
(ii) the Pass Through Trustee shall cease to be eligible
under Section 7.8 and shall fail to resign after written request

rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;
then, in any case, (x) the Companies may remove the Pass Through Trustee or (y)
subject to Section 6.6, any Certificateholder who has been a bona fide
Certificateholder for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of

competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Pass Through Trustee and the
appointment of a successor Pass Through Trustee.
(e) If a Responsible Officer of the Pass Through Trustee shall obtain
actual knowledge of an Avoidable Tax (as hereinafter defined) which has been or
is likely to be asserted, the Pass Through Trustee shall promptly notify the
Companies and the Owner Trustee thereof and shall, within 30 days of such
notification, resign hereunder unless within such 30-day period the Pass
Through Trustee shall have received notice that the Companies or the Owner
Trustees have agreed to pay such tax. The Companies shall promptly appoint a
successor Pass Through Trustee in a jurisdiction where there are no Avoidable
Taxes. As used herein, an "Avoidable Tax" means a state or local tax: (i) upon
(w) the Pass Through Trust, (x) the Trust Property, (y) Certificateholders or
(z) the Pass Through Trustee for which the Pass Through Trustee is entitled to
seek reimbursement from the Trust Property, and (ii) which would be avoided if
the Pass Through Trustee were located in another state, or jurisdiction within
a state, within the United States. A tax shall not be an Avoidable Tax if the
Companies or the Owner Trustee shall agree to pay, and shall pay, such tax.
(f) If the Pass Through Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Pass
Through Trustee for any cause, Union shall promptly appoint a successor Pass
Through Trustee. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or
incapacity, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Pass Through Trustee

Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Equipment Trust Trustees and the retiring
Pass Through Trustee, the successor Pass Through Trustee so appointed shall,
forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Pass
Through Trustee and supersede the retiring Pass Through Trustee. If no
successor Pass Through Trustee shall have been so appointed as provided above
and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any
Certificateholder who has been a bona fide Certificateholder for at least six
months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Pass
Through Trustee.
(g) The successor Pass Through Trustee shall give notice of the
resignation and removal of the Pass Through Trustee and appointment of the
successor Pass Through Trustee by mailing written notice of such event by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Certificateholders as their names and
addresses appear in the Register. Each notice shall include the name of such
successor Pass Through Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.
SECTION 7.10. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every
successor Pass Through Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Companies and the retiring Pass Through Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the retiring Pass Through Trustee shall become effective and such successor
Pass Through Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Pass
Through Trustee; but,
-41-

transferring to such successor Pass Through Trustee all the rights, powers and
trusts of the retiring Pass Through Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Pass Through Trustee all property and money held by
such retiring Pass Through Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien,
if any, provided for in Section 7.7. Upon request of any such successor Pass
Through Trustee, Union, the retiring Pass Through Trustee and such successor
Pass Through Trustee shall execute and deliver any and all instruments
containing such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and for more fully and certainly vesting in, such successor Pass

converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Pass Through Trustee
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of
the corporate trust business of the Pass Through Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Pass Through Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation
shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto. In case any Certificates shall have been authenticated, but
not delivered, by the Pass Through Trustee then in office, any successor by
merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Pass Through Trustee
may adopt such authentication and deliver the Certificates so authenticated
with the same effect as if such successor Pass Through Trustee had itself
authenticated such Certificates.
SECTION 7.12. Maintenance of Agencies.
(a) There shall at all times be maintained in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Certificates may be
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, and for
payment thereof and where notices and demands to or upon the Pass Through
Trustee in respect of the Certificates or of this Pass Through Trust Agreement
may be served. Such office or agency shall be initially at
[__________________________, [Trustee address]. Written notice of the location
of each such other office or agency and of any change of location thereof shall
be given by the Pass Through Trustee to Union, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Equipment Trust Trustees and the Certificateholders. In the event
that no such office or agency shall be maintained or no such notice of location
or of change of location shall be given, presentations and demands may be made
and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Pass Through
Trustee.
(b) There shall at all times be a Registrar and a Paying Agent
hereunder. Each such Authorized Agent shall be a bank or trust company, shall
be a corporation organized and doing
-42-
49
business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or
Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, with a combined capital and
surplus of at least $75,000,000, or, if the Pass Through Trustee shall be
acting as the Registrar or Paying Agent hereunder, a corporation the
obligations of which are guaranteed by a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or
Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, with a combined capital and
surplus of at least $75,000,000, and shall be authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers, subject to supervision by Federal or state
authorities. The Pass Through Trustee shall initially be the Paying Agent and,
as provided in Section 3.4, Registrar hereunder. Each Registrar shall furnish
to the Pass Through Trustee, at stated intervals of not more than six months,
and at such other times as the Pass Through Trustee may request in writing, a
copy of the Register.
(c) Any corporation into which any Authorized Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authorized Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business
of any Authorized Agent, shall be the successor of such Authorized Agent
hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this
Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of the parties hereto or such Authorized Agent or such successor
corporation.
(d) Any Authorized Agent may at any time resign by giving written
notice of resignation to the Pass Through Trustee, the Companies, the Owner
Trustee, the Equipment Trust Trustees and the Indenture Trustee. The Companies
may, and at the request of the Pass Through Trustee shall, at any time
terminate the agency of any Authorized Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Authorized Agent and to the Pass Through Trustee. Upon the
resignation or termination of an Authorized Agent or in case at any time any
such Authorized Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section (when, in
either case, no other Authorized Agent performing the functions of such
Authorized Agent shall have been appointed), the Companies shall promptly
appoint one or more qualified successor Authorized Agents, reasonably
satisfactory to the Pass Through Trustee, to perform the functions of the
Authorized Agent which has resigned or whose agency has been terminated or who
shall have ceased to be eligible under this Section. Union shall give written
notice of any such appointment made by them to the Pass Through Trustee, the
Owner Trustee, the Equipment Trust Trustees and the Indenture Trustee; and in
each case the Pass Through Trustee shall mail notice of such appointment to all
Certificateholders as their names and addresses appear on the Register.
(e) The Companies agree, severally and not jointly, to pay, or cause
to be paid, pursuant to separate agreements from time to time to each
Authorized Agent reasonable compensation for its services and to reimburse it
for its reasonable expenses.
SECTION 7.13. Money for Certificate Payments to Be Held in Pass
Through Trust. All moneys deposited with any Paying Agent for the purpose of
any payment on Certificates shall be deposited and held in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders entitled to such payment, subject to the
provisions of this Section. Moneys so deposited and held in trust shall
-43-
50
constitute a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Certificateholders with
respect to which such money was deposited.
The Pass Through Trustee will cause each Paying Agent other than the
Pass Through Trustee to execute and deliver to it an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Pass Through Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:
(i) hold all sums held by it for payments on Certificates in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums
shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein
provided;
(ii) give the Pass Through Trustee notice of any default by
any obligor upon the Certificates in the making of any such payment;
and
(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default,
upon the written request of the Pass Through Trustee, forthwith pay to
the Pass Through Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying
Agent.
The Pass Through Trustee may at any time, for the purpose of
obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Pass Through Trust Agreement
or for any other purpose, direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Pass Through
Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by
the Pass Through Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums
were held by such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to
the Pass Through Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further
liability with respect to such money.
SECTION 7.14. Registration of Equipment Notes and ETCs in Pass
Through Trustee's Name. The Pass Through Trustee agrees that all Equipment
Notes, ETCs, Permitted Investments, if any, and Specified Investments, if any,
shall be issued in the name of the Pass Through Trustee or its nominee and held
by the Pass Through Trustee, or, if not so held, the Pass Through Trustee or
its nominee shall be reflected as the owner of such Equipment Notes, ETCs,
Permitted Investments, or Specified Investments, as the case may be, in the
register of the issuer of such Equipment Notes, ETCs, Permitted Investments or
Specified Investments. In no event shall the Pass Through Trustee invest in,
or hold, Equipment Notes, ETCs, Permitted Investments or Specified Investments
in a manner that would cause the Pass Through Trustee not to have the ownership
interest in such Equipment Notes, ETCs, Permitted Investments or Specified
Investments under the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code in
effect where the Pass Through Trustee holds such Equipment Notes, ETCs,
Permitted Investments or Specified Investments or other applicable law then in
effect.

SECTION 7.15. Representations and Warranties of Pass Through Trustee.
The Pass Through Trustee hereby represents and warrants that:
(i) the Pass Through Trustee is a national banking
association, validly existing and holding a valid certificate to
conduct business as a national banking association with trust powers
under the laws of the United States of America;
(ii) the Pass Through Trustee has full power, authority and
legal right to execute, deliver, and perform this Pass Through Trust
Agreement and the Participation Agreement and has taken all necessary
action to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance by it of
this Pass Through Trust Agreement and the Participation Agreement;
(iii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Pass
Through Trustee of this Pass Through Trust Agreement and the
Participation Agreement (a) will not violate any provision of any

or decree of any court, arbitrator, or governmental authority
applicable to the Pass Through Trustee or any of its assets, (b) will
not violate any provision of the articles of association or by-laws of
the Pass Through Trustee, or (c) will not violate any provision of, or
constitute, with or without notice or lapse of time, a default under,
or result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any properties
included in the Trust Property pursuant to the provisions of any
mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or other undertaking to which
it is a party, which violation, default or lien could reasonably be
expected to have an adverse effect on the Pass Through Trustee's
performance or ability to perform its duties hereunder or thereunder
or on the transactions contemplated herein or therein;
(iv) the execution, delivery and performance by the Pass
Through Trustee of this Pass Through Trust Agreement and the
Participation Agreement will not require the authorization, consent,
or approval of, the giving of notice to, the filing or registration
with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any United
States or Illinois governmental authority or agency regulating the
banking and corporate trust activities of the Pass Through Trustee,
other than any such authorization, consent or approval as has been
duly obtained or given and is in full force and effect; and
(v) this Pass Through Trust Agreement and the Participation
Agreement have been duly executed and delivered by the Pass Through
Trustee and constitute the legal, valid, and binding agreements of the
Pass Through Trustee, enforceable against it in accordance with their

applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and (y)
general principles of equity.
SECTION 7.16. Withholding Taxes; Information Reporting. The Pass
Through Trustee, as trustee of a grantor trust, shall exclude and withhold from
each distribution of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest and
other amounts due hereunder or under the
-45-
52
Certificates any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by
law. The Pass Through Trustee agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in
connection therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges
are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable in respect of
the Certificates, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the
appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Certificateholders,
that it will file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due,
and that, as promptly as possible after the payment thereof, it will deliver to
each Certificateholder appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof,
together with such additional documentary evidence as such Certificateholders
may reasonably request from time to time. The Pass Through Trustee agrees to
file any other information reports as it may be required to file under United
States law. To the extent that the Pass Through Trustee fails, with respect to
any Certificateholder, to withhold and pay over any such taxes to the
appropriate taxing authority, the Pass Through Trustee shall, upon a claim
being made for such taxes by such authority, and before making any claim to
Union for indemnification under Section 7.1 of the Participation Agreement (if
such indemnification would otherwise be permissible thereunder), take all
reasonable steps to recover such taxes from such Certificateholder, including,
without limitation, withholding the amount of such taxes from subsequent
distributions, if any, to such Certificateholder. To the extent that the Pass
Through Trustee receives any amount from Union for indemnification of such
taxes which the Pass Through Trustee thereafter recovers from the appropriate
Certificateholder (including by withholding from subsequent distributions to
such Certificateholder), the Pass Through Trustee shall reimburse Union
therefor. The Pass Through Trustee shall be permitted to rely upon any
certificate presented by a Certificateholder claiming an exemption from
withholding absent bad faith on the part of the Pass Through Trustee.
SECTION 7.17. Trustee's Liens. The Pass Through Trustee in its
individual capacity agrees that it will at its own cost and expense promptly
take such actions as may be necessary to duly discharge and satisfy in full all
Trustee's Liens.

Trustee shall comply with Sections 311(a) and (b) of the Trust Indenture Act,
excluding any creditor relationship arising under Section 311(b) of the Trust
Indenture Act. A Pass Through Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall
be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent
indicated.

ARTICLE XII
GUARANTEE OF UNION
SECTION 12.1. Guarantee. Subject to the provisions of this
Article XII, Union hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a
primary obligor and not a surety, to each Certificateholder of a Certificate
now or hereafter authenticated and delivered by the Pass Through Trustee and to
the Pass Through Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the
validity and enforceability of this Pass Through Trust Agreement, the
Certificates hereunder, the Procor Equipment Trust Agreement or the Procor ETC
thereunder, the due and punctual distribution to Certificateholders of the
amounts of principal of, and interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy law whether or not permitted
thereby), and interest on overdue principal and interest, if any, to the extent
lawful, payable with respect to the Procor ETC when and as the same shall
become due and payable, whether by acceleration thereof, or otherwise
(including amounts that would become due but for
-52-
59
the operation of the automatic stay under applicable bankruptcy law), in
accordance with the terms of the Procor ETC and of this Pass Through Trust
Agreement. Union also hereby guarantees for the benefit of the Persons
identified in the preceding sentence, the due and punctual performance by
Procor of its obligations under the Procor Equipment Trust Agreement. Union
hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any failure to
enforce the provisions of the Procor ETC or this Pass Through Trust Agreement,
any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to Procor with respect thereto
by the Certificateholders, the Equipment Trust Trustee or the Pass Through
Trustee, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. Union hereby waives diligence,
presentment, filing of claims with a court in the event of a merger or
bankruptcy of Procor, any right to require a proceeding first against Procor,
the benefit of discussion, protest or notice with respect to the Procor ETC or
the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants
that this Guarantee shall not be discharged as to the Procor ETC except by
payment in full of the principal thereof and all accrued interest thereon and
all other amounts due with respect thereto.
Union shall be subrogated to all rights of the
Certificateholders against Procor in respect of any amounts paid to the
Certificateholders by Union pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee;
provided, however, that Union shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive
any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until all
amounts payable to the Pass Through Trustee hereunder with respect to the
Procor ETC shall have been paid in full.
The Guarantee set forth in this Section 12.1 shall not be
valid or become obligatory for any purpose with respect to a Certificate until
the certificate of authentication on such Certificate shall have been signed by
or on behalf of the Pass Through Trustee.
The parties hereto acknowledge that payments by Union
hereunder with respect to (i) principal attributable to the Procor ETC shall
have the effect of reducing on a dollar for dollar basis the outstanding
principal amount of the Procor ETC and (ii) accrued interest attributable to
the Procor ETC shall have the effect of reducing on a dollar for dollar basis
the outstanding accrued interest on the Procor ETC. For the purposes of this
paragraph only, payments by Union hereunder shall first be applied against
outstanding accrued interest then against outstanding principal.
SECTION 12.2. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.
(a) To evidence the Guarantee set forth in this Article
XII, Union hereby agrees that a notation of the Guarantee shall be placed on
each Certificate authenticated and delivered by the Pass Through Trustee on or
after the date the Trust Property includes the Procor ETC.
(b) A Responsible Officer of Union shall sign the
notation of Guarantee on the Certificates by manual or facsimile signature. If
a Responsible Officer whose signature is on the notation of Guarantee no longer
holds that office at the time the Pass Through Trustee
-53-
60
authenticates the Certificate on which the Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee
shall be valid nevertheless. Union hereby agrees that the Guarantee set forth
in Section 12.1 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any
failure to endorse on each Certificate a notation of the Guarantee.
(c) The delivery of any Certificate by the Pass Through
Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due
delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Pass Through Trust Agreement on
behalf of Union.
SECTION 12.3. Limitation of Union's Liability. Union hereby
confirms that it is its intention that the Guarantee not constitute a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any bankruptcy law,
fraudulent conveyance act, or any similar law. To effectuate the foregoing
intention, Union hereby irrevocably agrees that its obligations under the
Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect
to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of
Union that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any rights
to contribution pursuant to any agreement providing for an equitable
contribution among Union and other Affiliates of Procor, such maximum amount
shall result in the obligations of Union in respect of such maximum amount not
constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
SECTION 12.4. Guarantee Unconditional. Upon failure of
payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, Union will be
obligated to pay the same immediately. Union hereby agrees that its
obligations hereunder shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of: any delays in obtaining or realizing upon or failure to
obtain or realize upon Trust Property; the recovery of any judgment against
Procor or Union; any extension, renewal settlement, compromise, waiver or
release in respect of any obligation of Procor under this Pass Through Trust
Agreement or the Procor ETC, by operation of law or otherwise; any modification
or amendment of or supplement to this Pass Through Trust Agreement or the
Procor ETC; any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of
Procor, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar
proceeding affecting Procor or its assets or any resulting release or discharge
of any obligation of Procor contained in this Pass Through Trust Agreement or
the Procor ETC; the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which Union
may have at any time against Procor, the Pass Through Trustee, any
Certificateholder or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any
unrelated transactions; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the
assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; any
invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against Procor for any reason of
this Pass Through Trust Agreement or the Procor ETC, or any provision of
applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by Procor of
the principal of or interest on the Procor ETC or any other amount payable by
Procor under this Pass Through Trust Agreement, or the Procor ETC; or any other
act or omission to act or delay of any kind by Procor, the Pass Through
Trustee, any Certificateholder, or any other Person or any other circumstance
whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a
legal or equitable discharge of Union's obligations hereunder. Union hereby
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court
in the event of
-54-
61
insolvency or bankruptcy of Procor, any right to require a proceeding first
against Procor, protest, notice and all demand whatsoever and covenants that
this Guarantee will not be discharged except by the complete performance of the
obligations contained in the Procor ETC, this Pass Through Trust Agreement and
in this Article XII. Union's obligations hereunder shall remain in full force
and effect until this Pass Through Trust Agreement shall have terminated and
the principal of and interest on the Procor ETC and all other obligations
payable by Procor relating thereto shall have been paid in full. If at any
time the distribution of any payment of the principal of or interest with
respect to the Procor ETC or any other amount payable by Procor under this Pass
Through Trust Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Procor or otherwise,
Union's obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated
as though such payment had been due but not made at such time, and this Article
XII, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force
and effect. Union irrevocably waives any and all rights to which it may be
entitled, by operation of law or otherwise, upon making any payment hereunder
to be subrogated to the rights of the payee against Procor with respect to such
payment or otherwise to be reimbursed, indemnified or exonerated by Procor in
respect thereof until all obligations of Procor under the Procor ETC are
satisfied. Union further agrees that, as between Union, on the one hand, and
the Certificateholders and the Pass Through Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the
maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in
Article VI hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
obligations guaranteed hereby and (ii) in the event of any declaration of
acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such
obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
payable by Union for the purpose of this Article XII.

Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated as "Pass

[Reverse of Certificate]
The Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or an
obligation guaranteed by (except to the extent provided in the Pass Through
Trust Agreement), or an interest in Union, Procor, the Pass Through Trustee, in
its individual or trust capacities, any Owner Participant, any Owner Trustee in
its individual capacity, either Equipment Trust Trustee in its individual
capacity, or any affiliate of any thereof. The Certificates are limited in
right of payment, all as more specifically set forth on the face hereof and in
the Pass Through Trust Agreement. All payments or distributions made to
Certificateholders under the Pass Through Trust Agreement shall be made only
from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Pass Through Trustee
shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such
payments in accordance with the terms of the Pass Through Trust Agreement.
Each Certificateholder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees
that it will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust Property to
the extent available for distribution to such Certificateholder as provided in
the Pass Through Trust Agreement. This Certificate does not purport to
summarize the Pass Through Trust Agreement and reference is made to the Pass
Through Trust Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights,
benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the
Pass Through Trust Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at
the principal office of the Pass Through Trustee, and at such other places, if
any, designated by the Pass Through Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon
request.
The Pass Through Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions
therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Companies and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Pass Through Trust Agreement at any time by the Companies and the Pass Through
Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders holding Certificates
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority
in interest in the Pass Through Trust. Any such consent by the
Certificateholder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such
Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate
and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or
in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this
Certificate. The Pass Through Trust Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Certificateholders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Pass Through Trust Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
at the offices or agencies maintained by the Pass Through Trustee in its
capacity as Registrar, or by any successor Registrar, in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of New York, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Pass Through Trustee and the
Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder hereof or such
Certificateholder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or
more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
A-4
70
aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Pass Through Trust will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 and $1,000 integral multiples
thereof, except that one Certificate may be in a denomination of less than
$1,000. As provided in the Pass Through Trust Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Fractional Undivided Interest in the Pass Through Trust, as requested by the
Certificateholder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Pass Through Trustee shall require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
The Pass Through Trustee, the Registrar, and any agent of the Pass
Through Trustee or the Registrar may treat the person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Pass Through Trustee, the Registrar, nor any such agent shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Pass Through Trust
Agreement and the Pass Through Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the
distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to
them pursuant to the Pass Through Trust Agreement and the disposition of all
property held as part of the Trust Property.
