with the preparation of such income tax returns. Owner Trustee shall keep copies
of all returns delivered to or filed by it.
SECTION 7. INDEMNIFICATION OF BANK BY OWNER PARTICIPANT
Owner Participant hereby agrees, whether or not any of the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be consummated, to assume liability for, and hereby
indemnifies, protects, saves and keeps harmless, Bank and its successors,
assigns, agents and servants, from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, taxes (excluding any Taxes which are
not required to be indemnified by Lessee pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.3 of the
Participation Agreement and excluding any taxes payable by Bank on or measured
by any compensation received by Bank for its services under this Trust
Agreement), claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (including,
without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses, but excluding internal
costs and expenses such as salaries and overhead, and including, without
limitation, any liability of an owner, any strict liability and any liability
without fault) of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against Bank (whether or not also indemnified against by
Lessee under the Lease or under the Participation Agreement or also indemnified
against by any other Person; PROVIDED, that Owner Participant shall be
subrogated to the rights of Owner Trustee against Lessee or any other
indemnitor) in any way relating to or arising out of this Trust Agreement or any
of the other Operative Agreements or the enforcement of any of the terms of any
thereof, or in any way relating to or arising out of the manufacture, purchase,
acceptance, nonacceptance, rejection, ownership, delivery, lease, possession,
use, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition of the Aircraft
(including, without limitation, latent and other defects, whether or not
discoverable, and any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement), or
in any way relating to or arising out of the administration of the Trust Estate
or the action or inaction of Owner Trustee, under this Trust Agreement, except
(a) in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Bank,
in its individual capacity or as Owner Trustee, in the performance or
nonperformance of its duties under this Trust Agreement or under any of the
other Owner Trustee Agreements or (b) those Claims resulting from the inaccuracy
of any representation or warranty of Bank (or from the failure of Bank to
perform any of its covenants) in Section 6.3, in Section 6.03 of the Trust
Indenture, in Section 4 of the Lease, in Section 6.3 of the Participation
Agreement or elsewhere in any of the Operative Agreements or (c) as may result
from a breach by Bank of its covenant in the last sentence of Section 5.4.1 or
(d) in the case of the failure to use ordinary care on the part of Bank, in its
individual capacity or as Owner Trustee, in the receipt or disbursement of funds
or in connection with its obligation to invest funds pursuant to Section 4.4 of
the Lease or Section 4.3 hereof or in compliance with the provisions of the
first sentence of Section 6.8 or (e) any liability on the part of Owner Trustee
arising out of its negligence or willful or negligent misconduct in connection
with its obligations under Section 5.1, 6.8 or 9.2 hereof or Section 4.01 of the
Trust Indenture, or (f) those claims arising under any circumstances or upon any
terms where Lessee would not have been required to indemnify Bank pursuant to
Section 9.1 or 9.3 of the Participation Agreement (disregarding for purposes of
this paragraph Sections 9.1.2(b) and 9.3.2(j)); PROVIDED, that before asserting
its right to indemnification, if any, pursuant to this Section 7, Bank shall
first demand its corresponding right to indemnification pursuant to Section 9 of
the Participation Agreement (but need not exhaust any or all remedies available
thereunder). The indemnities contained in this Section 7 extend to Bank only in
its individual capacity and shall not be construed as indemnities of the Trust
Indenture Estate or the Trust Estate (except to the extent, if any, that Bank
has been reimbursed by the Trust Indenture Estate or the Trust Estate for
amounts covered by the indemnities contained in this Section 7). The indemnities
contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Trust
Agreement. In addition, if necessary, Bank shall be entitled to indemnification
from the Trust Estate, subject to the Lien of the Trust Indenture, for any
liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, tax, claim, action, suit, cost,
expense or disbursement indemnified against pursuant to this Section 7 to the
extent not reimbursed by Lessee, Owner Participant or others, but without
releasing any of them from their respective agreements of reimbursement; and, to
secure the same Bank shall have a lien on the Trust Estate, subject to the lien
of the Trust Indenture and subject further to the provisions of Section 6.7,
which shall be prior to any interest therein of Owner Participant. The payor of
any indemnity under this Section 7 shall be subrogated to any right of the
person indemnified in respect of the matter as to which such indemnity was paid.
SECTION 8. TRANSFER OF OWNER PARTICIPANT'S INTEREST
8.1 TRANSFER OF INTEREST
All provisions of Section 10 of the Participation Agreement shall (with
the same force and effect as if set forth in full in this Section 8.1) be
applicable to any assignment, conveyance or other transfer by Owner Participant
of any of its right, title or interest in and to the Participation Agreement,
the Trust Estate or this Trust Agreement.
SECTION 9. SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES; CO-TRUSTEES
9.1 RESIGNATION OF OWNER TRUSTEE; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR
9.1.1 RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL
Owner Trustee or any successor Owner Trustee (a) shall resign if required
to do so pursuant to Section 13.3 of the Participation Agreement or upon
obtaining Actual Knowledge of any facts that would cast doubt upon its
continuing status as a Citizen of the United States and (b) may resign at any
time without cause by giving at least 60 days' prior written notice to Owner
Participant, Mortgagee and Lessee, such resignation to be effective upon the
assumption of the trusts hereunder by the successor Owner Trustee under Section
9.1.2. In addition, Owner Participant may at any time remove Owner Trustee, with
or without cause by a notice in writing delivered to Owner Trustee, Mortgagee
and Lessee, such removal to be effective upon the assumption of the trusts
hereunder by the successor Owner Trustee under Section 9.1.2, PROVIDED, that, in
the case of a removal without cause, unless a Lease Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, such removal shall be subject to the consent of
Lessee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). In the case of the
resignation or removal of Owner Trustee, Owner Participant may appoint a
successor Owner Trustee by an instrument signed by Owner Participant, with,
unless a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
consent of Lessee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If a
successor Owner Trustee shall not have been appointed within 30 days after such
notice of resignation or removal, Owner Trustee, any Owner Participant, Lessee
or Mortgagee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a
successor Owner Trustee to act until such time, if any, as a successor shall
have been appointed as above provided. Any successor Owner Trustee so appointed
by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any
successor Owner Trustee appointed as above provided within one year from the
date of the appointment by such court.
9.1.2 EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS, ETC.
Any successor Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver
to the predecessor Owner Trustee, with a copy to Owner Participant, Lessee and
Mortgagee, an instrument accepting such appointment and assuming the obligations
of Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity and as Owner Trustee, under the
Owner Trustee Agreements, and thereupon such successor Owner Trustee, without
further act, shall become vested with all the estates, properties, rights,
powers, duties and trusts of the predecessor Owner Trustee in the trusts under
this Trust Agreement with like effect as if originally named Owner Trustee in
this Trust Agreement; but nevertheless, upon the written request of such
successor Owner Trustee, such predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Owner Trustee, upon the
trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts
of such predecessor Owner Trustee, and such predecessor Owner Trustee shall duly
assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to such successor Owner Trustee all
monies or other property then held by such predecessor Owner Trustee upon the
trusts herein expressed. Upon the appointment of any successor Owner Trustee
under this Section 9.1, the predecessor Owner Trustee will execute such
documents as are provided to it by such successor Owner Trustee and will take
such further actions as are requested of it by such successor Owner Trustee as
are required to cause registration of the Aircraft included in the Trust Estate
to be transferred upon the records of the FAA, or other governmental authority
having jurisdiction, into the name of the successor Owner Trustee.
9.1.3 QUALIFICATIONS
Any successor Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall be a Citizen of the
United States and shall also be a bank or trust company organized under the Laws
of the United States or any state thereof having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $100,000,000, if there be such an institution willing, able and
legally qualified to perform the duties of Owner Trustee under this Trust
Agreement upon reasonable or customary terms. No such successor Owner Trustee
shall be located in a jurisdiction which creates material adverse consequences
for Lessee (unless such material adverse consequences would be created by
substantially all jurisdictions where major banking or trust institutions are
located).
9.1.4 MERGER, ETC.
Any corporation into which Bank may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which Bank shall be a party, or any corporation to which
substantially all the corporate trust business of Bank may be transferred,
shall, subject to the terms of Section 9.1.3, be Owner Trustee under this Trust
Agreement without further act, PROVIDED, that such corporation shall not also be
the Mortgagee.
9.2 CO-TRUSTEES AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES
(a) If at any time it shall be necessary or prudent in order to conform to
any Law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Trust Estate is
located, or Owner Trustee being advised by counsel shall determine that it is so
necessary or prudent in the interest of Owner Participant or Owner Trustee, or
Owner Trustee shall have been directed to do so by Owner Participant, Owner
Trustee and Owner Participant shall execute and deliver an agreement
supplemental hereto and all other instruments and agreements necessary or proper
to constitute another bank or trust company or one or more persons (any or all
of which shall be a Citizen of the United States) approved by Owner Trustee and
Owner Participant, either to act as co-trustee, jointly with Owner Trustee, or
to act as separate trustee under this Trust Agreement (any such co-trustee or
separate trustee being herein sometimes referred to as an "additional trustee").
In the event Owner Participant shall not have joined in the execution of such
agreements' supplemental hereto within ten days after the receipt of a written
request from Owner Trustee so to do, or in case a Lease Event of Default or
Indenture Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Owner Trustee may act
under the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2 without the concurrence of
Owner Participant; and Owner Participant hereby appoints Owner Trustee its agent
and attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this
Section 9.2 in either of such contingencies.
(b) Every additional trustee under this Trust Agreement shall, to the
extent permitted by Law, be appointed and act, and Owner Trustee and its
successors shall act, subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) All powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon Owner
Trustee in respect of the custody, control and management of monies, the
Aircraft or documents authorized to be delivered under this Trust
Agreement or under the Participation Agreement shall be exercised solely
by Owner Trustee;
(ii) All other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon Owner Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by Owner Trustee and such additional trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any Law of any jurisdiction in
which any particular act or acts are to be performed (including the
holding of title to the Trust Estate) Owner Trustee shall be incompetent
or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights,
powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such
additional trustee;
(iii) No power given to, or which it is provided hereby may be
exercised by, any such additional trustee shall be exercised under this
Trust Agreement by such additional trustee, except jointly with, or with
the consent in writing of, Owner Trustee;
(iv) No trustee under this Trust Agreement shall be personally
liable by reason of any action or omission of any other trustee under this
Trust Agreement;
(v) Owner Participant, at any time, by an instrument in writing may
remove any such additional trustee. In the event that Owner Participant
shall not have joined in the execution of any such instrument within ten
days after the receipt of a written request from Owner Trustee so to do,
Owner Trustee shall have the power to remove any such additional trustee
without the concurrence of Owner Participant; and Owner Participant hereby
appoints Owner Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to act for it in
such connection in such contingency; and
(vi) No appointment of, or action by, any additional trustee will
relieve Owner Trustee of any of its obligations under, or otherwise affect
any of the terms of, the Trust Indenture or affect the interests of
Mortgagee or the Certificate Holders in the Trust Indenture Estate.
(c) In case any separate trustee under this Section 9.2 shall die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the title to the Trust Estate and all
rights and duties of such separate trustee shall, so far as permitted by Law,
vest in and be exercised by Owner Trustee, without the appointment of a
successor to such separate trustee.

adversely affects any right, duty, immunity or indemnity in favor of Owner
Trustee under this Trust Agreement or under any other Owner Trustee Agreement,
Owner Trustee may in its discretion decline to execute such document unless

the Trust Estate and the Owner Trustee against any and all liabilities, costs
and expenses arising out of the execution of such documents.

Promptly after the execution by Owner Trustee of any document entered into
pursuant to Section 10.1, Owner Trustee shall mail, by certified mail, postage

disposition by Owner Trustee of all property constituting part of the Trust

one day after the death of the last survivor of all of the descendants of the
grandparents of Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxxx living on the date of the earliest
execution of this Trust Agreement by any party hereto, but if this Trust

applicable Law to be valid for a period commencing on the 21st anniversary of
the death of such last survivor (or, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, if legislation shall become effective providing for the validity of
this Trust Agreement and the trusts created hereby for a period in gross
exceeding the period for which this Trust Agreement and the trusts created
hereby are hereinabove stated to extend and be valid), then this Trust Agreement
and the trusts created hereby shall not terminate under this clause (b) but
shall extend to and continue in effect, but only if such nontermination and
extension shall then be valid under applicable Law, until the day preceding such
date as the same shall, under applicable Law, cease to be valid; otherwise this
