subject to Section 1.03 hereof, the actions specified in Section 1.01 hereof as
herein provided. The Owner Trustee agrees to disburse all monies that it
receives under the Operative Agreements in accordance with the terms hereof.
The Owner Trustee shall not be answerable or accountable in its individual
capacity except as a result of or arising from (a) the Owner Trustee's willful
misconduct or gross negligence (in its individual capacity or as trustee), (b)
any breach by the Owner Trustee of its representations, warranties and
covenants given in its individual capacity in this Agreement, Sections 7.01(c),

in its individual capacity in Section 3.05 of the Indenture or elsewhere in the

Owner Trustee shall have no power, right, duty or authority to manage, control,
possess, use, sell, lease, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Aircraft,
Airframe, Engines, any Part thereof or any other property at any time
constituting a part of the Lessor's Estate, or otherwise to take or refrain
from taking any action under or in connection with the Operative Agreements,
except (i) to execute and deliver the Operative Agreements to which it is a
party, (ii) to exercise and carry out or cause to be exercised or carried out
the rights, duties and obligations of the Owner Trustee hereunder and under the
other Operative Agreements as authorized and directed by the Trustor, or (iii)
as expressly provided in written instructions from the Trustor given pursuant
to Section 3.03 or 3.04 hereof; provided, that nothing in this Section 3.02
shall limit in any manner the obligations of the Owner Trustee hereunder.
Section 3.03. Notice of Default. In the event that a
Responsible Officer in the Corporate Trust Administration of the Owner Trustee
shall have actual knowledge of a Default or an Event of Default, or an
Indenture Default or an Indenture Event of Default, the Owner Trustee shall
give or cause to be given to the Trustor and the Indenture Trustee prompt
notice (in any event within two Business Days of the discovery thereof), in
accordance with Article 14 of the Participation Agreement, of such Default,
Event of Default, Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default. Subject to
the terms of Section 3.06(e) hereof and the rights of the Indenture Trustee
under the Indenture, the Owner Trustee shall take such action with respect to
such Default, Event of Default, Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default
as shall be specified in written instructions from the Trustor; provided that
the Owner Trustee shall have no duty to take any action whatsoever in the
absence of instructions from the Trustor. For all purposes of this Agreement
and the Lease, in the absence of actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of
the Owner Trustee, the Owner Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a
Default, Event of Default, Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default
unless notified in writing by the Lessee, the Trustor, the Indenture Trustee or
any Certificate Holder.
Section 3.04. Action Upon Instructions. Upon the written
instructions at any time and from time to time of the Trustor, the Owner
Trustee will take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with
provisions of the Indenture, as may be specified in such instructions.
Section 3.05. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Owner
Trustee. (a)(i) The Owner Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth herein, and with the degree of care
specified in Section 3.01 hereof, and in accordance with instructions given by
the Trustor hereunder, and no implied duties, covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement, any such instructions or the Operative Agreements
against the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee agrees that it will not
manage, control, possess, use, sell, lease, dispose of or otherwise deal with
the Aircraft or any part of the Lessor's Estate except as required by the terms
of the Operative Agreements, any such instructions and as otherwise provided
herein; and
(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Owner 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 Owner Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement
or the other Operative Agreements, but in the case of any such
certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof or thereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Owner Trustee, the Owner
Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or
not they conform to the requirements of this Trust Agreement or the
Operative Agreements.
(b) No provision hereof shall require the Owner Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SSB agrees in its
individual capacity that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take
such action as may be necessary to discharge duly all Lessor's Liens
attributable to it in its individual capacity and will claim no indemnity
therefor hereunder, or under the Participation Agreement or any Operative
Agreement.
(c) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability
of or affording protection to the Owner Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of this Section 3.05, except that in the event of a conflict between
this Section 3.05 and Section 3.01 hereof, Section 3.01 hereof shall be
controlling.
(d) The Owner Trustee will furnish to the Trustor, promptly
upon receipt thereof, duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests,
demands, certificates, financial statements and any other instruments furnished
to the Owner Trustee hereunder or under the other Operative Agreements or the
Original Agreements (including those furnished to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture) and not otherwise furnished to the
Trustor.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Owner Trustee shall not be authorized and shall have no power to "vary the
investment" of the Trustor within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
301.7701-4(c)(1), it being understood that the Owner Trustee shall have the
power and authority to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.06 hereof and
Article 23 of the Lease.
Section 3.06. Certain Rights of Owner Trustee. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 3.05 hereof:
(a) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Owner
Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from
acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, direction, consent, order or other paper or
document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or presented by the proper party or parties;
(b) any request, direction or authorization by the Trustor or
any other party to any other Operative Agreement shall be sufficiently
evidenced by a request, direction or authorization in writing, delivered
to the Owner Trustee, and signed in the name of such party by any of the
Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President, the Treasurer or
Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or Assistant Secretary or other duly
authorized officer of such party; and any resolution of the Board of
Directors or committee thereof of such party shall be sufficiently
evidenced by a copy of such resolution certified by the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of such party, to have been duly adopted and to be in
full force and effect on the date of such certification, and delivered to
the Owner Trustee;
(c) whenever in the administration of this Agreement the
Owner Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder or
under any of the other Operative Agreements, the Owner Trustee (unless
other evidence be herein or therein specifically prescribed), absent
actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee to the
contrary, may rely in good faith upon a certificate in writing, delivered
to the Owner Trustee and signed by any of the Chairman of the Board, the
President, any Vice President, the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or the
Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Lessee, the Trustor, or the
Indenture Trustee and notice of such need for such proof or establishment
shall be delivered to the Trustor, who may advise the Owner Trustee in
respect of such matter and the Owner Trustee shall act in conformity with
such advice;
(d) the Owner Trustee may exercise its powers and perform its
duties by or through such attorneys, agents and servants as it shall
appoint with due care, and it shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of
counsel reasonably selected by it with due care and shall be protected by
the advice of such counsel in anything done or omitted to be done in
accordance with such advice;
(e) the Owner Trustee shall not be under any obligation to
take any action under this Agreement or under any of the other Operative
Agreements at the request or direction of the Trustor unless the Persons
making such request or direction shall have offered to the Owner Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request
or direction; nor shall the Owner Trustee be required to take any action
deemed to impose on the Owner Trustee any obligation to take any action,
if the Owner Trustee shall have been advised by its counsel that such
action is unlawful or is contrary to the terms of this Agreement or the
other Operative Agreements;
(f) the Owner Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
direction, consent, order or other paper or document unless a Responsible
Officer of the Owner Trustee has actual knowledge that the facts or
matters stated therein are false or inaccurate, but the Owner Trustee in
its discretion may make such further inquiry or investigation into such
facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Owner Trustee shall
determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be
entitled, to the same extent permitted to the Lessor under the Lease, to
examine the books and records of the Lessee to reasonably determine
whether the Lessee is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the
Lease and to examine the Aircraft, Airframe, Engines or any Part thereof
personally or by agent or attorney; and
(g) without limiting the generality of Section 3.05 hereof,
except as otherwise provided in written instructions given to the Owner
Trustee by the Trustor or as otherwise provided in the Indenture or the
Participation Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall not have any duty (i) to
see to any recording or filing of the Lease or of this Agreement or any
financing statement or other notice or document relating thereto or
contemplated under the Operative Agreements or to see to the maintenance
of any such recording or filing (other than FAA reporting requirements
contained in 14C.F.R. Sections 47.45 and 47.51), (ii) to see to any
insurance on the Aircraft or any part thereof or to effect or maintain any
such insurance, whether or not the Lessee shall be in default with respect
thereto, other than to forward to the Trustor copies of all certificates,
reports and other written information which it receives from the Lessee
pursuant to the Lease, (iii) to see to the payment or discharge of any
tax, assessment or other governmental charges or any Lien (except any
Lessor's Lien attributable to it in its individual capacity) owing with
respect to, or assessed or levied against any part of the Lessor's Estate,
(iv) to confirm or verify any financial statements or reports of the
Lessee, or (v) to inspect the Aircraft at any time or ascertain or inquire
as to the performance or observance of any of the Lessee's covenants under
the Lease.

Matters. NEITHER THE OWNER TRUSTEE NOR SSB MAKES OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE
MADE (a) ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE TITLE,
AIRWORTHINESS, VALUE, CONDITION, WORKMANSHIP, DESIGN, COMPLIANCE WITH
SPECIFICATIONS, CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR USE FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER

representation or warranty as to the validity, legality or enforceability of
this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement to which the Owner Trustee is a
party, or any other document or instrument, or as to the correctness of any
statement contained in any thereof, except to the extent that any such
representation, warranty or statement is expressly made herein or therein as a
representation or warranty by the Owner Trustee or SSB and except that SSB
hereby represents and warrants that this Agreement has been, and (assuming the

Trustee hereunder or pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement that
such an instrument will be) duly executed and delivered by one of its officers

such instruments on behalf of the Owner Trustee and that this Agreement has
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by SSB and (assuming due
authorization, execution and delivery of this Trust Agreement by the Trustor)

by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of
equity.
Section 3.08. Status of Moneys Received. All moneys received by
the Owner Trustee under or pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any

and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor. Upon the giving of
notice of resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee, the Trustor may appoint
a successor Owner Trustee by an instrument signed by the Trustor. If the
Trustor shall not have so appointed a successor Owner Trustee within 30 days
after such resignation or removal, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or
the Trustor may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a
successor Owner Trustee to act until such time, if any, as a successor or
successors shall have been appointed by the Trustor as above provided. Any
successor Owner Trustee so appointed by a court shall be superseded by any
successor Owner Trustee subsequently appointed by the Trustor.
The appointment of any successor Owner Trustee shall be subject
to the conditions set forth in Section 11.01 of the Participation Agreement.
Section 3.12. Estate and Rights of Successor Owner Trustee. Any
successor Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the
predecessor Owner Trustee, with a copy to the Trustor and the Indenture
Trustee, an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon each successor
Owner Trustee, without further act, shall become vested with all the estates,
properties, rights, powers, duties and trust of the predecessor Owner Trustee
in the trust hereunder with like effect as if originally named as an Owner
Trustee herein, 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 trust herein
expressed, all estates, properties, rights, powers, duties, property or moneys
then held by such predecessor Owner Trustee upon the trust herein expressed.
Upon any such transfer by a predecessor Owner Trustee, such predecessor Owner
Trustee shall provide the successor Owner Trustee and Trustor an accounting of
the Lessor's Estate and the trust hereunder.
Upon the appointment of any successor Owner Trustee hereunder,
the predecessor Owner Trustee will use its best efforts to cause registration
of the Aircraft included in the Lessor's Estate to be transferred upon the
records of the Aeronautics Authority or other registry where the Aircraft may
then be registered into the name of the successor Owner Trustee and shall
otherwise use its best efforts to comply, or assist the successor Owner Trustee
in complying, with the provisions of Section 11.01 of the Participation
Agreement.
Section 3.13. Merger or Consolidation of SSB. Any corporation
into which SSB in its individual capacity may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which SSB shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the
business of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity may be transferred,
shall, subject to Section 11.01 of the Participation Agreement, be the Owner
Trustee under this Agreement without further act; provided, that such
corporation shall not also be the Indenture Trustee.
Section 3.14. Co-Trustees. At any time, if the Owner Trustee or
the Trustor shall deem it necessary or prudent or desirable in order to conform
to legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Lessor's
Estate may at the time be located, the Trustor and the Owner Trustee jointly
shall have the power, and shall execute and deliver all instruments, to appoint
one or more Persons approved by the Trustor and the Owner Trustee to act as
co-trustee, or co-trustees, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee
or separate trustees (except insofar as local law makes it necessary or prudent
or desirable for any such co-trustee or separate trustee to act alone), of all
or any part of the Lessor's Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in
such capacity, such title to the Lessor's Estate or any part thereof, and such
rights, powers, duties, trusts or obligations as the Trustor and the Owner
Trustee may consider necessary or prudent or desirable. The Owner Trustee
shall not be liable for any act or omission of any co-trustee or separate
trustee appointed under this Section 3.14. No appointment of, or action by,
any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section 3.14 will
relieve the Owner Trustee of any of its obligations under any Operative
Agreement or otherwise affect any of the terms of the Indenture or adversely
affect the interests of the Indenture Trustee or the Certificate Holders in the
Trust Indenture Estate.
Any co-trustee or separate trustee may, at any time by an
instrument in writing, constitute the Owner Trustee its or his attorney-in-fact
and agent with full power and authority to do all acts and things and to
exercise all discretion on its or his behalf and in its or his name subject to
the conditions of this Agreement.
Every additional trustee hereunder shall be a Citizen of the
United States and, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act, and
the Owner Trustee and its successors shall act, subject to the following
provisions and conditions:
(A) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon
the Owner Trustee in respect of the custody, control and management of
monies, the Aircraft or documents authorized to be delivered hereunder or
under the Participation Agreement shall be exercised solely by the Owner
Trustee;
(B) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred or imposed
upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such additional
trustee 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 Lessor's Estate) the 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;
(C) no power given to, or which is provided hereby may be
exercised by, any such additional trustee, except jointly with, or with
the consent in writing of, the Owner Trustee;
(D) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason
of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder except as otherwise
provided hereunder; and
(E) the Trustor, at any time, by an instrument in writing may
remove any such additional trustee.
Section 3.15. Interpretation of Agreements. In the event that
the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or any other agreement relating to
the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements or such provision is
ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any
other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement or any other
Operative Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent
or incomplete as to the course of action which the Owner Trustee is required to
take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee shall request
in writing sent in accordance with Article 14 of the Participation Agreement
instructions of the Trustor and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee acts in
good faith in accordance with any instructions received from the Trustor, shall
not be liable to any Person; provided, that in the event that no response is
made to the Owner Trustee by the Trustor within 25 Business Days after such
request, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable to any Person for acts taken by
the Owner Trustee in good faith or for any failure to act, except to the extent
provided in the last sentence of Section 3.01 hereof.
Section 3.16. Not Acting in Individual Capacity. In carrying
out the trust hereby created, the Owner Trustee will act solely as trustee
hereunder and not in its individual capacity except as expressly provided
herein or in the other Operative Agreements to which it is a party; and all
Persons, other than the Trustor as provided in this Agreement, having any claim
against the Owner Trustee by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby
shall look only to the Lessor's Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof,
except to the extent provided in the last sentence of Section 3.01 hereof.
Section 3.17. Tax Returns. The Owner Trustee shall be
responsible for the keeping of all appropriate books and records relating to
the receipt and disbursement of all moneys under this Agreement or any
Operative Agreement. The Trustor shall be responsible for causing to be
prepared and filed all income tax returns required to be filed by the Trustor.
The Owner Trustee, upon the request of the Trustor, will furnish the Trustor
with all such information as may be reasonably required or necessary from the
Owner Trustee in connection with the preparation of such tax returns and in
connection with any other filing or audit and related litigation obligations.
The Owner Trustee shall be responsible for causing to be prepared at the
request of the Trustor and at the expense of the Lessee all income tax returns
required to be filed with respect to the trust created hereby and shall execute
and file such returns; provided, however, that the Owner Trustee shall send a
completed copy of each such return to the Trustor not more than 60 nor less
than 30 days prior to the due date of such return; provided that the Owner
Trustee shall have timely received all necessary information to complete and
deliver to the Trustor such return. The Trustor, upon request, will furnish
the Owner Trustee with all such information as may be required from the Trustor
in connection with the preparation of such income tax returns.
Section 3.18. Independent Business. The Owner Trustee will
conduct its activities such that the Owner Trust is a separate and readily
identifiable trust separate from, and independent of, the Trustor and any of
its Affiliates (it being understood that the Trustor and its Affiliates may
publish financial statements that consolidate those of the Owner Trustee, if to
do so is required by any applicable law or accounting principles from time to
time in effect) and:
(a) it will observe all formalities required under this
Agreement necessary to cause the Owner Trust to remain a common law trust
separate and distinct from the Trustor and any of its Affiliates;
(b) it will maintain each of the assets and liabilities of the
Owner Trust separate and distinct from those of the Trustor and any of its
Affiliates;
(c) it will maintain records, books, accounts, and minutes of
the Owner Trust separate from those of the Trustor and any of its
Affiliates;
(d) it will pay the obligations of the Owner Trust in the
ordinary course of business as a common law trust separate from the
Trustor and any of its Affiliates;
(e) it will keep funds held in the Trust Estate separate and
distinct from any funds of the Trustor and any of its Affiliates, and will
receive, deposit, withdraw and disburse such funds separately from any
funds of the Trustor and any of its Affiliates;
(f) it will conduct the activities of the Owner Trust in its own
name as trustee of the Owner Trust, and not in the name of the Trustor or
any of its Affiliates;
(g) it will not agree to pay or become liable for any debt of the
Trustor or any of its Affiliates other than as contemplated by the
Indenture;
(h) it will not induce any third party to rely on the
creditworthiness of the Trustor or any of its Affiliates in order that
such third party will be induced to contract with the Owner Trust (except
insofar as such third party may rely on the fact, if applicable, that the
Trustor or its Affiliate is the Lessee); and
(i) it will not enter into any transaction between the Owner
Trust and the Trustor or any of its Affiliates that is more favorable to
the Trustor and its Affiliates than transactions that the Owner Trustee
would have been able to enter into at such time on an arms-length basis
with a non-affiliated third party, other than any agreements in effect on
the date hereof or any transaction permitted pursuant to the Operative
Agreements.
ARTICLE 4
TERMINATION OF TRUST
Section 4.01. Termination. This Agreement and the trust created
and provided for hereby shall cease and be terminated in any one of the
following events, whichever shall first occur:
(a) If the Trustor shall by notice in writing to the Owner
Trustee revoke and terminate the trust on and as of a date stated in such
notice, which date shall not be less than ten nor more than thirty days
from the date of mailing such notice, in which case, on the date specified
in such notice the trust created and provided for hereby shall cease and
terminate; provided, that this Trust shall not be subject to revocation or
termination by the Trustor prior to the later of (x) payment in full and
discharge of the Certificates and all other indebtedness secured by the
Indenture and the release of the Lien of the Indenture and the security
interest granted thereby without the consent of the Indenture Trustee and
(y) the termination of the Lease; provided, further, that such notice
shall be accompanied by the written agreement of the Trustor to assume all
of the obligations of the Owner Trustee under the Operative Agreements and
all other obligations of the Owner Trustee incurred by it hereunder in its
role as the Owner Trustee arising from the revocation or termination of
the trust or this Agreement by the Trustor;
(b) The sale or other final disposition by the Owner Trustee
of all of its interest in all property constituting or included in the
Lessor's Estate and, if the Indenture shall then be in effect, the sale or
other disposition by the Indenture Trustee of all of its interest in all
property constituting or included in the Lessor's Estate, and the final
disposition by the Owner Trustee and, if the Indenture shall then be in
effect, the Indenture Trustee, of all moneys or other property or proceeds
constituting part of the Lessor's Estate in accordance with the terms
hereof; or
(c) 21 years less one day from the death of the last survivor
of the descendants of Queen Victoria of England living on the date of this
Agreement; provided, however, that if the Trust shall be or become valid
under applicable law for a period subsequent to 21 years less one day from
the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Queen Victoria of
England living on the date of this Agreement or, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if legislation shall become effective
providing for the validity or permitting the effective grant of such trust
for a period, in gross, exceeding the period for which such trust is
hereinabove stated to extend and be valid, then such trust shall not
terminate as provided in the first part of this sentence but shall extend
to and continue in effect until, but only if such non-termination and
extension shall then be valid under applicable law, such time as the same
shall, under applicable law, cease to be valid.
In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 4.01, if
the Indenture is still in effect, the Trustor will promptly and duly execute
and deliver to the Indenture Trustee such documents and assurances including,
without limitation, conveyances, financing statements and continuation
statements with respect to financing statements and take such further action as
the Indenture Trustee may from time to time reasonably request and furnish in
order to protect the rights and remedies created or intended to be created in
favor of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and to create for the
benefit of the Certificate Holders a valid first priority Lien with respect to,
and a first and prior perfected security interest in, the Trust Indenture
Estate.
Section 4.02. Distribution of Lessor's Estate upon Termination.
Upon any termination of this Trust pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.01
hereof, the Owner Trustee shall convey the Lessor's Estate (subject to all
obligations, if any, of the Owner Trustee then existing under the Operative
Agreements to which the Owner Trustee is a party) to such purchaser or
purchasers or the Trustor, as the case may be, and for such amount and on such
terms as shall be specified in written instructions from the Trustor delivered
to the Owner Trustee prior to the date of termination; provided, that in the
event such written instructions are not delivered to the Owner Trustee on or
before the date of termination, the Owner Trustee shall transfer title to the
Lessor's Estate to the Trustor. Upon making such transfer or sale and
accounting for all funds which have come into its hands, the Owner Trustee
shall be entitled to receipt of any sums due and owing to the Owner Trustee for
expenses incurred pursuant hereto as set forth in Section 2.05 hereof.
ARTICLE 5
TRANSFER OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Trustor may assign, convey or otherwise transfer to a single
institutional investor all (but not less than all) of the Beneficial Interest
then owned by the Trustor, provided that it gives the Lessee and the Indenture
Trustee at least 10 Business Days' notice of such assignment, conveyance or
other transfer and provided further that the transferor Trustor shall remain
liable for all obligations of the Trustor under this Agreement and the
Operative Agreements to which the Trustor is a party to the extent (but only to
the extent) incurred on or before the date of such transfer and provided that
the transferee agrees by a written instrument in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Lessee to
assume primary liability for all obligations as a trustor under this Agreement
and the other Operative Agreements to which such trustor is a party incurred
after the date of transfer and the Trustor shall remain secondarily liable for
all such obligations assumed by its successor as Trustor; provided, that the
Trustor need not so agree to remain and shall not be so secondarily liable if
(a) such transferee is (i) a bank, savings institution, finance company,
leasing company or trust company, national banking association acting for its
own account or in a fiduciary capacity as trustee or agent under any pension,
retirement, profit sharing or similar trust or fund, insurance company,
fraternal benefit society or corporation acting for its own account having a
combined capital and surplus (or, if applicable, consolidated tangible net
worth or its equivalent) of not less than $75,000,000, (ii) a subsidiary of any
Person described in clause (i) where such Person provides (A) support for the
obligations assumed by such transferee subsidiary satisfactory to the Lessee,
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee or (B) an unconditional guaranty
satisfactory to the Lessee, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of such
transferee subsidiary's obligations, or (iii) an Affiliate of the transferor
Trustor, so long as such Affiliate has a combined capital and surplus (or, if
applicable, consolidated tangible net worth or its equivalent) of not less than
$75,000,000, (b) such transferee is legally capable of binding itself to the
obligations of the transferor Trustor and expressly agrees to assume all
obligations of the transferor Trustor under the Participation Agreement and
this Agreement and (c) such transferee shall provide representations
substantially similar to those contained in Section 7.03(a) of the
Participation Agreement. In the event of any such assignment, conveyance or
transfer, the transferee shall become a party to this Agreement and shall agree
to be bound by all the terms of and will undertake all of the obligations of
the transferor Trustor contained in this Agreement and the other Operative
Agreements in such manner as is reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee and the Lessee. A transferee hereunder shall be (i) a
"U.S. Person" as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (or any successor
provision thereto) or if the transferee shall not be such "U.S. Person" then
each Certificate Holder shall be provided an indemnity in form and substance
satisfactory to each such Certificate Holder, for any Taxes that may be imposed
on such Certificate Holders (currently or in the future) due to such
transferee's failure to be such a "U.S. Person" and (ii) a Citizen of the
United States or has established a voting trust, voting powers or other
arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Lessee to
permit the Owner Trustee to be the registered owner of the Aircraft under the
Transportation Code. A transferee hereunder shall not be, and in acquiring the
Beneficial Interest shall not use the assets of, an ERISA Plan. Assuming the
truth of the representations made in Section 6.01(m) of the Participation
Agreement and compliance with Section 10.06 of the Indenture, no such
assignment, conveyance or transfer shall violate any provision of law or
regulation or create a relationship which would be in violation thereof. The
Owner Trustee shall not be on notice of or otherwise bound by any such
assignment, conveyance or transfer unless and until it shall have received an
executed counterpart of the instrument of such assignment, conveyance or
transfer. Upon any such disposition by the Trustor to a transferee as above
provided, the transferee shall be deemed a "Trustor" for all purposes hereof,
and shall be deemed to have made all the payments previously made by its
transferor and to have acquired the same interest in the Lessor's Estate as
theretofore held by its transferor; and each reference herein to a "Trustor"
shall thereafter be deemed a reference to such transferee. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Article 5, in no event (i) shall the
Trustor transfer its interest in the Beneficial Interest to any entity whose
business is that of a nationwide or worldwide overnight or expedited delivery
small package air courier, cargo or freight deliverer and which competes with
the Lessee or (ii) shall the Trustor, on or before December 31, 1998, transfer
its interest in the Beneficial Interest to a transferee which is not an
Affiliate of the Trustor.
ARTICLE 6
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 6.01. Indemnification. The Trustor and its assigns
agrees to reimburse and save SSB, in its individual capacity, harmless against
any and all loss, damage, liability, claims, demands, disbursements and
expenses, including Taxes (excluding Taxes imposed against SSB upon or with
respect to any fees for services rendered in its capacity as Trustee hereunder)
and reasonable counsel fees, which are not required to be indemnified by the
Lessee pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Participation Agreement and which may be
incurred by reason of its being the Owner Trustee or acting hereunder or under
the Operative Agreements, but solely by reason thereof and arising out of or
relating solely to this Agreement or the other Operative Agreements or the
Aircraft or the Rents and other sums payable therefor, or by reason of any
occurrence directly relating thereto while so acting, and to secure the payment
thereof, SSB, in its individual capacity, shall have a Lien on the Lessor's
Estate and the proceeds thereof, including income, prior to any interest
therein of the Trustor and their respective assigns (but subject to the rights
of the Lessee under the Operative Agreements and subject and subordinate to the
Lien of the Indenture), except that SSB shall not have any such Lien (and the
Trustor shall have no obligation) in respect of any such loss, damage,
liability, claims, demands, disbursements and expenses, including Taxes and
counsel fees, arising from or as a result of (A) the Owner Trustee's willful
misconduct or gross negligence (in its individual capacity or as trustee), (B)
any inaccuracy of any representation of SSB or any breach by SSB of its
warranties and covenants given in its individual capacity in this Agreement,
Article 5 of the Lease, Sections 7.01(c), 7.02(a) and (b) and 7.04 of the
Participation Agreement and its representations and warranties in the Operative
Agreements, (C) the failure to use ordinary care in receiving, handling and
disbursing funds, (D) Lessor's Liens attributable to it in its individual
capacity, (E) Taxes, fees, or other charges on, based on, or measured by, any
fees, commissions or compensation received by SSB in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Lease, the Indenture and this Agreement, (F)
Taxes excluded from the Lessee's obligation to indemnify SSB pursuant to
Section 8.01(b) of the Participation Agreement (disregarding for the purposes
of this Section 6.01, subsections (iii) or (vi) of Section 8.01(b) of the
Participation Agreement) or (G) Expenses excluded from the Lessee's obligation
to indemnify SSB pursuant to Section 9.01(b) of the Participation Agreement
(disregarding for the purposes of this Section 6.01, subsections (ii), (iv),
(vii) and (viii) of Section 9.01(b) of the Participation Agreement to the
extent such subsections relate to actions of the Trustor); provided, that,
before asserting any right to payment or indemnification hereunder, SSB shall
first demand (but need not exhaust its remedies with respect to) its
corresponding right to payment or indemnification from the Lessee pursuant to
the Participation Agreement. It is further understood that the distribution by
the Owner Trustee of all or any part of the Lessor's Estate as provided in
Section 4.02 of this Agreement shall not impair the right of SSB to indemnity,
payment and reimbursement as herein provided. In the event SSB makes any
advances at any time to pay or to provide for the payment of any such loss,
damage, liability, claim, demand or expense, then SSB, in its individual
capacity, shall be entitled, in addition to reimbursement for the principal of
the sum so advanced, to interest on the amount of such advances at the Prime
Rate. The provisions of this Section shall continue in force and effect
notwithstanding the termination of this Trust or the resignation, inability or
incapacity to act or removal of the Owner Trustee. SSB or the Owner Trustee
(in its individual capacity or as trustee, as the case may be) agrees that it
shall have no right against (except as provided in this Section 6.01) the
Trustor or (subject to the provisions of the Indenture) the Trust Indenture
Estate for any fee as compensation for its services hereunder.
Section 6.02. Supplements and Amendments. At any time and from
time to time, only upon the written request of the Trustor (a) SSB and the
Trustor shall execute a supplement hereto for the purpose of adding provisions
to, or changing or eliminating provisions of, this Agreement as specified in
such request and (b) the Owner Trustee shall, subject to the provisions of
Section 8.01 of the Indenture, enter into or consent to such written amendment
or modification of or supplement to any of the Operative Agreements as the
Indenture Trustee and any other necessary parties may agree to in writing and
as may be specified in such request, or execute and deliver such written waiver
of the terms of any of the Operative Agreements as may be agreed to in writing
by the Indenture Trustee and as may be specified in such request; provided,
that (i) the Owner Trustee shall not execute any such supplement, amendment,
waiver or modification without the prior written consent of the Trustor, (ii)
if in the reasonable opinion of the Owner Trustee any document required to be
executed by it pursuant to this Section adversely affects any right or duty of,
or immunity or indemnity in favor of, the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or
any other Operative Agreement, the Owner Trustee may in its discretion decline
to execute such document, (iii) any amendment or supplement to this Agreement
that would adversely affect the rights of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders
shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee and (iv)
any amendment or supplement to this Agreement that would adversely affect the
rights of the Lessee shall be subject to the prior written consent of the
Lessee. It shall not be necessary that any request pursuant to this Section
specify the particular form of the proposed document to be executed pursuant to
such request, but it shall be sufficient if such request shall indicate the
substance thereof. Promptly after the execution by SSB or the Owner Trustee of
any document pursuant to this Section, the Owner Trustee shall mail a conformed
copy thereof to the Trustor, the Indenture Trustee and the Lessee, but the
failure of the Owner Trustee to mail such conformed copies shall not impair or
affect the validity of such document.
Section 6.03. Nature of Title of Trustor. No Trustor shall have
any legal title to any part of the Lessor's Estate. No transfer, by operation
of law or otherwise, of the right, title and interest of the Trustor in and to
the Lessor's Estate or the trust hereunder shall operate to terminate this
Agreement or Lessor's Estate.
Section 6.04. Power of Owner Trustee to Convey. Any assignment,
sale, transfer or other conveyance by the Owner Trustee of the interest of the
Owner Trustee in the Operative Agreements or in the Aircraft or any part
thereof pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or the
Operative Agreements shall bind the Trustor and shall be effective to transfer
or convey all right, title and interest of the Owner Trustee and the Trustor in
and to the Operative Agreements or the Aircraft or such part thereof. No
purchaser or other grantee shall be required to inquire as to the
authorization, necessity, expediency or regularity of such assignment, sale,
transfer or conveyance or as to the application of any sale or other proceeds
with respect thereto by the Owner Trustee.
Section 6.05. Notices. All notices, demands, declarations and
other communications required by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall
be deemed received (a) if given by telecopier, when transmitted and the
appropriate telephonic confirmation received if transmitted on a Business Day
and during normal business hours of the recipient, and otherwise on the next
Business Day following transmission, (b) if given by certified mail, return
receipt requested, postage prepaid five Business Days after being deposited in
the United States mail, and (c) if given by FedEx service (or, if a Default or
