If on any Distribution Date, after giving effect to the subordination provisions of this Agreement, the Subordination Agent shall not have sufficient funds for the payment of any amounts due and owing in respect of accrued interest on the Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates (at the Stated Interest Rate for such Class of Certificates) (other than any amount of interest which was due and payable on the Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates on such Distribution Date but which remains unpaid due to the failure of the Depositary to pay any amount of accrued interest on the Deposits on such Distribution Date), then, prior to 12:30 p.m. (New York City time) on such Distribution Date, (i) the Subordination Agent shall request a drawing (each such drawing, an “Interest Drawing”) under the Liquidity Facility with respect to such Class of Certificates in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) an amount sufficient to pay the amount of

(c) Downgrade Drawings. (i) With respect to each Liquidity Facility, a Downgrade Drawing shall be requested by the Subordination Agent thereunder as provided in Section 3.5(c)(iii), if at any time a Downgrade Event shall have occurred with respect to such Liquidity Facility (such Liquidity Facility following a Downgrade Event being referred to as a “Downgraded Facility”), unless an event described in Section 3.5(c)(ii)(A) or Section 3.5(c)(ii)(B) occurs with respect to such Liquidity Facility.

(ii) If at any time a Downgrade Event shall have occurred with respect to a Liquidity Facility, the Liquidity Provider shall notify US Airways and the Subordination Agent of such Downgrade Event within 10 days of the occurrence of such Downgrade Event (the “Downgrade Notice”) and the Subordination Agent shall request a Downgrade Drawing thereunder in accordance with Section 3.5(c)(iii), unless (A) the Liquidity Provider under such Downgraded Facility or US Airways arranges for a Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Subordination Agent within 30 days after the occurrence of such Downgrade Event (but not later than the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility) or (B) on or before the date 25 days after the occurrence of such Downgrade Event, the Rating Agency downgrading, withdrawing or suspending the rating of the applicable Liquidity Provider provides a written confirmation to the Subordination Agent that such downgrading, withdrawal or suspension will not result in a downgrading, withdrawal or suspension of any rating then in effect for any Class of Certificates by such Rating Agency (for the avoidance of doubt, such confirmation is only required from the Rating Agency issuing a downgrading, withdrawal or suspension). In the event the relevant Rating Agency does not provide the written confirmation contemplated in clause (B) of the preceding sentence on or before the 25^th day after such Downgrade Event and no Replacement Liquidity Provider has been arranged in accordance with clause (A) of the preceding sentence, the Liquidity Provider shall notify the Subordination Agent and US Airways that a Downgrade Drawing will be required on the date 30 days after the occurrence of such Downgrade Event (but not later than the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility).

(iii) Upon the occurrence of any Downgrade Event with respect to any Liquidity Facility, unless a Replacement Liquidity Facility is arranged as provided in Section 3.5(c)(ii)(A) or the relevant Rating Agency provides the written confirmation as provided in

Section 3.5(c)(ii)(B), the Subordination Agent shall, on the 30th day after the occurrence of such Downgrade Event (or if such 30th day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (or, if earlier, the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility), request a drawing in accordance with and to the extent permitted by such Downgraded Facility (such drawing, a “Downgrade Drawing”) of the Available Amount thereunder. Amounts drawn pursuant to a Downgrade Drawing shall be maintained and invested as provided in Section 3.5(f) hereof. The applicable Liquidity Provider may also arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility at any time after such Downgrade Drawing so long as such Downgrade Drawing has not been reimbursed in full to such Liquidity Provider.

(d) Non-Extension Drawings. Except with respect to either Liquidity Facility that is scheduled to expire on a date (the “Stated Expiration Date”) no earlier than 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the related Class of Certificates, if before the 25^th day prior to an anniversary date of the Closing Date (such 25^th day, the “Notice Date”) the relevant Liquidity Provider shall have advised the Subordination Agent that the applicable Liquidity Facility shall not be extended beyond such anniversary date and on or before the Notice Date such Liquidity Facility shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.5(e), the Subordination Agent shall, on the Notice Date (or as soon as possible thereafter), in accordance with the terms of the expiring Liquidity Facility (a “Non-Extended Facility”), request a drawing under such Non-Extended Facility (such drawing, a “Non-Extension Drawing”) of the Available Amount thereunder. Amounts drawn pursuant to a Non-Extension Drawing shall be maintained and invested in accordance with Section 3.5(f) hereof.

(e) Issuance of Replacement Liquidity Facility. (i) At any time, US Airways may, at its option, with cause or without cause, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace both Liquidity Facilities (including any Replacement Liquidity Facility provided pursuant to Section 3.5(e)(ii) hereof); provided, however, that the Liquidity Provider for any Liquidity Facility shall not be replaced by US Airways as a Liquidity Provider with respect to such Liquidity Facility prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date unless (A) there shall have become due to such Liquidity Provider, or such Liquidity Provider shall have demanded, amounts pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03 of any applicable Liquidity Facility and the replacement of such initial Liquidity Provider would reduce or eliminate the obligation to pay such amounts or US Airways determines in good faith that there is a substantial likelihood that such Liquidity Provider will have the right to claim any such amounts (unless such Liquidity Provider waives, in writing, any right it may have to claim such amounts), which determination shall be set forth in a certificate delivered by US Airways to such Liquidity Provider setting forth the basis for such determination and accompanied by an opinion of outside counsel selected by US Airways and reasonably acceptable to such Liquidity Provider verifying the legal conclusions, if any, of such certificate relating to such basis, provided that, in the case of any likely claim for such amounts based upon any proposed change in, law, rule, regulation, interpretation, directive, requirement, request or administrative practice, such opinion may assume the adoption or promulgation of such proposed matter, (B) it shall become unlawful or impossible for such Liquidity Provider (or its Facility Office) to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances as described in Section 3.10 of any Liquidity Facility, (C) any Liquidity Facility of such Liquidity Provider shall become a Downgraded Facility or a Non-Extended Facility or a Downgrade Drawing or a Non-Extension Drawing shall have occurred under any Liquidity Facility of such Liquidity Provider or (D) such Liquidity Provider shall have breached any of its

payment (including, without limitation, funding) obligations under any Liquidity Facility in respect of which it is the Liquidity Provider. If such Replacement Liquidity Facility is provided at any time after a Downgrade Drawing, a Non-Extension Drawing or a Special Termination Drawing has been made, all funds on deposit in the relevant Cash Collateral Account will be returned to the Liquidity Provider being replaced.

At any time after a Non-Extension Drawing has been made under any Liquidity Facility, the Liquidity Provider thereunder may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the Liquidity Facility under which such Non-Extension Drawing has been made.

(iii) No Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by US Airways or a Liquidity Provider in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above or pursuant to Section 3.5(c), respectively, shall become effective and no such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed a “Liquidity Facility” under the Operative Agreements, unless and until (A) each of the conditions referred to in sub-clauses (iv)(x) and (z) below shall have been satisfied, (B) if such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall materially adversely affect the rights, remedies, interests or obligations of the Class A Certificateholders or the Class B Certificateholders under any of the Operative Agreements, the applicable Trustee shall have consented, in writing, to the execution and issuance of such Replacement Liquidity Facility and (C) in the case of a Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by a Liquidity Provider under Section 3.5(e)(ii) or pursuant to Section 3.5(c), such Replacement Liquidity Facility is acceptable to US Airways.

(v) Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (iii) and (iv) of this Section 3.5(e) with respect to a Replacement Liquidity Facility, (w) the replaced Liquidity Facility shall terminate, (x) the Subordination Agent shall, if and to the extent so requested by US Airways or the Liquidity Provider being replaced, execute and deliver any certificate or other instrument required in order to terminate the replaced Liquidity Facility, shall surrender the replaced Liquidity Facility to the Liquidity Provider being replaced and shall execute and deliver

the Replacement Liquidity Facility and any associated Fee Letters, (y) each of the parties hereto shall enter into any amendments to this Agreement necessary to give effect to (1) the replacement of the applicable Liquidity Provider with the applicable Replacement Liquidity Provider and (2) the replacement of the applicable Liquidity Facility with the applicable Replacement Liquidity Facility and (z) the applicable Replacement Liquidity Provider shall be deemed to be a Liquidity Provider with the rights and obligations of a Liquidity Provider hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements and such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed to be a Liquidity Facility hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements.

(f) Cash Collateral Accounts; Withdrawals; Investments. In the event the Subordination Agent shall draw all available amounts under the Class A Liquidity Facility or the Class B Liquidity Facility pursuant to Section 3.5(c), 3.5(d), 3.5(i) or 3.5(m) hereof, or in the event amounts are to be deposited in the Class A Cash Collateral Account or the Class B Cash Collateral Account pursuant to subclause (A) or (B) of clause “fourth” of Section 3.2, amounts so drawn or to be deposited, as the case may be, shall be deposited by the Subordination Agent in the Class A Cash Collateral Account or the Class B Cash Collateral Account, as applicable. All amounts on deposit in each Cash Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested in Eligible Investments in accordance with Section 2.2(b) hereof.

On each Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of any Special Distribution Date with respect to the distribution of a Special Payment, on such Special Distribution Date), Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in each Cash Collateral Account with respect to any Liquidity Facility (or, in the case of any Special Distribution Date with respect to the distribution of a Special Payment, so long as no Indenture Default shall have occurred and be continuing under any Trust Indenture, a fraction of such Investment Earnings equal to the Section 2.4 Fraction) shall be deposited in the Collection Account (or, in the case of any Special Distribution Date with respect to the distribution of a Special Payment, the Special Payments Account) and applied on such Interest Payment Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be) in accordance with Section 3.2 or 3.3 (as applicable). The Subordination Agent shall deliver a written statement to US Airways and each Liquidity Provider one day prior to each Interest Payment Date and Special Distribution Date setting forth the aggregate amount of Investment Earnings held in the Cash Collateral Accounts as of such date. In addition, from and after the date funds are so deposited, the Subordination Agent shall make withdrawals from such accounts as follows:

(iii) on each date on which the Pool Balance of the Class A Trust shall have been reduced by payments made to the Class A Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof or pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement for such Class, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw from the Class A Cash Collateral Account such amount as is necessary so that, after giving effect to the reduction of the Pool Balance on such date (and any reduction in the amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account resulting from a prior withdrawal of amounts on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account on such date) and any transfer of Investment Earnings from such Cash Collateral Account to the Collection Account or the Special Payments Account on such date, an amount equal to the sum of the Required Amount (with respect to the Class A Liquidity Facility) plus (if on a Distribution Date not coinciding with an Interest Payment Date) Investment Earnings on deposit in such Cash Collateral Account (after giving effect to any such transfer of Investment Earnings) will be on deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account and shall first, pay such withdrawn amount to the Class A Liquidity Provider until the Liquidity Obligations (with respect to the Class A Certificates) owing to such Liquidity Provider shall have been paid in full, and second, deposit any remaining withdrawn amount in the Collection Account;

(v) if a Replacement Liquidity Facility for any Class of Certificates shall be delivered to the Subordination Agent following the date on which funds have been deposited into the Cash Collateral Account related to the Liquidity Facility for such Class

of Certificates, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw all amounts on deposit in such Cash Collateral Account and shall pay such amounts to the replaced Liquidity Provider until all Liquidity Obligations owed to such Person shall have been paid in full, and shall deposit any remaining amount in the Collection Account; and

(vi) following the payment of Final Distributions with respect to any Class of Certificates, on the date on which the Subordination Agent shall have been notified by the Liquidity Provider for such Class of Certificates that the Liquidity Obligations owed to such Liquidity Provider have been paid in full, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw all amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account related to the Liquidity Facility in respect of such Class of Certificates and shall deposit such amount in the Collection Account.

(j) Adjustments of Stated Amount. Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount of the Liquidity Facility for a Class of Certificates is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance with respect to such Certificates or otherwise, the Stated Amount of such Liquidity Facility shall automatically be adjusted to an amount equal to the Required Amount with respect to such Liquidity Facility (as calculated by the Subordination Agent after giving effect to such payment).

(k) Relation to Subordination Provisions. Interest Drawings under the Liquidity Facilities and withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Accounts relating to such Liquidity Facilities, in each case, in respect of interest on the Certificates of any Class, will be distributed to the Trustee for such Class of Certificates, notwithstanding Section 3.2 hereof.

(l) Assignment of Liquidity Facility. The Subordination Agent agrees not to consent to the assignment by any Liquidity Provider of any of its rights or obligations under any Liquidity Facility or any interest therein, unless (i) US Airways shall have consented to such assignment and (ii) each Rating Agency shall have provided a Ratings Confirmation in respect of such assignment; provided, that the Subordination Agent shall consent to such assignment if the conditions in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are satisfied, and the foregoing is not intended to and shall not be construed to limit the rights of the initial Liquidity Provider under Section 3.5(e)(ii).

(m) Special Termination Drawing. Upon receipt of a Special Termination Notice with respect to any Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent shall, not later than the date specified in such Special Termination Notice, in accordance with the terms of such Liquidity Facility, request a drawing under such Liquidity Facility of all available and undrawn amounts thereunder (a “Special Termination Drawing”).

ARTICLE IV

EXERCISE OF REMEDIES

SECTION 4.1. Directions from the Controlling Party. (a) (i) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Default under any Trust Indenture, the Controlling Party shall direct the Subordination Agent, as the holder of Equipment Notes issued under such Trust Indenture, which in turn shall direct the Indenture Trustee under such Trust Indenture, in the exercise of remedies available to the holder of such Equipment Notes, including, without limitation, the ability to vote all such Equipment Notes held by the Subordination Agent in favor of Accelerating such Equipment Notes in accordance with the provisions of such Trust Indenture. If the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Trust Indenture and held by the Subordination Agent have been Accelerated following an Indenture Default with respect thereto, the Controlling Party may direct the Subordination Agent to sell, assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver all (but not less than all) of such Equipment Notes to any Person at public or private sale, at any location at the option of the Controlling Party, all upon such terms and conditions as it may reasonably deem advisable in accordance with applicable law.

(ii) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Default under any Trust Indenture, in the exercise of remedies pursuant to such Trust Indenture, the Indenture Trustee under such Trust Indenture may be directed to lease the related Aircraft to any Person (including US Airways) so long as the Indenture Trustee in doing so acts in a “commercially reasonable” manner within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction (including Sections 9-610 and 9-627 thereof).

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Certificates remain Outstanding, during the period ending on the date which is nine months after the earlier of (x) the Acceleration of the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Trust Indenture and (y) the occurrence of a US Airways Bankruptcy Event, without the consent of each Trustee, no Aircraft subject to the Lien of such Trust Indenture or such Equipment Notes may be sold if the net proceeds from such sale would be less than the Minimum Sale Price for such Aircraft or such Equipment Notes.

(iv) Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Indenture Default under any Trust Indenture, the Subordination Agent will obtain three desktop appraisals from the Appraisers selected by the Controlling Party setting forth the current market value, current lease rate and distressed value (in each case, as defined by the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading or any successor organization) of the Aircraft subject to such Trust Indenture (each such appraisal, an “Appraisal” and the current market value appraisals being referred to herein as the “Post-Default Appraisals”). For so long as any Indenture Default shall be continuing under any Trust Indenture, and without limiting the right of the Controlling Party to request more frequent Appraisals, the Subordination Agent will obtain updated Appraisals on the date that is 364 days from the date of the most recent Appraisal (or if a US Airways Bankruptcy Event shall have occurred and is continuing, on the date that is 180 days from the date of the most recent Appraisal).

(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Indenture Default under any Trust Indenture, the Controlling Party shall take such actions as it may reasonably deem most effectual to complete the sale or other disposition of the relevant Aircraft or Equipment Notes. In addition, in lieu of any sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, the Controlling Party may maintain or cause the Subordination Agent to maintain possession of such Equipment Notes and continue to apply monies received in respect of such Equipment Notes in accordance with Article III hereof. In addition, in lieu of such sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, or in lieu of such maintenance of possession, the Controlling Party may, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Trust Indenture, instruct the Indenture Trustee under such Trust Indenture to foreclose on the Lien on the related Aircraft or to take any other remedial action permitted under such Trust Indenture or under any applicable law.

(c) If following a US Airways Bankruptcy Event and during the pendency thereof, the Controlling Party receives a proposal from or on behalf of US Airways to restructure the financing of any one or more of the Aircraft, the Controlling Party shall promptly thereafter give the Subordination Agent and each Trustee notice of the material economic terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal whereupon the Subordination Agent acting on behalf of each Trustee shall endeavor using reasonable commercial efforts to make such terms and

conditions of such restructuring proposal available to all Certificateholders (whether by posting on DTC’s Internet board or otherwise) and to each Liquidity Provider that has not made a Final Advance. Thereafter, neither the Subordination Agent nor any Trustee, whether acting on instructions of the Controlling Party or otherwise, may, without the consent of each Trustee, enter into any term sheet, stipulation or other agreement (whether in the form of an adequate protection stipulation, an extension under Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) to effect any such restructuring proposal with or on behalf of US Airways unless and until the material economic terms and conditions of such restructuring shall have been made available to all Certificateholders and to each Liquidity Provider that has not made a Final Advance for a period of not less than 15 calendar days (except that such requirement shall not apply to any such term sheet, stipulation or other agreement that is entered into on or prior to the expiry of the 60-Day Period and that is effective for a period not longer than three months from the expiry of the 60-Day Period). In the event that any Class B Certificateholder or Class C Certificateholder gives irrevocable notice of the exercise of its right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Class of Certificates represented by the then Controlling Party pursuant to the applicable Trust Agreement prior to the expiry of the 15-day notice period specified above, such Controlling Party may not direct the Subordination Agent or any Trustee to enter into any such restructuring proposal with respect to any of the Aircraft unless and until such Certificateholder shall fail to purchase such Class of Certificates on the date that it is required to make such purchase.

SECTION 4.2. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy given to the Trustees, the Liquidity Providers, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent specifically or otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may, subject always to the terms and conditions hereof, be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent, as appropriate, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default or to be an acquiescence therein.

SECTION 4.3. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case any party to this Agreement (including the Controlling Party in such capacity) shall have instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such Proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Person instituting such Proceeding, then and in every such case each such party shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored to its former position and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of such party shall continue as if no such Proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 4.4. Right of Certificateholders and the Liquidity Providers to Receive Payments Not to Be Impaired. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding but subject to each Trust Agreement, the right of any Certificateholder or any Liquidity Provider,

respectively, to receive payments hereunder (including without limitation pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof) when due, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the applicable Distribution Date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Certificateholder or such Liquidity Provider, respectively.

SECTION 4.5. Undertaking for Costs. In any Proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement or in any Proceeding against any Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent for any action taken or omitted by it as Controlling Party or Subordination Agent, as the case may be, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. The provisions of this Section do not apply to a suit instituted by the Subordination Agent, a Liquidity Provider or a Trustee or a suit by Certificateholders holding more than 10% of the original principal amount of any Class of Certificates.

The Subordination Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action under this Agreement and nothing contained in this Agreement shall require the Subordination Agent 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. The Subordination Agent shall not be required to take any action under Section 5.1 (other than the first sentence thereof) or Article IV hereof, nor shall any other provision of this Agreement be deemed to impose a duty on the Subordination Agent to take any action, if the Subordination Agent shall have been advised by counsel that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to law.

SECTION 9.1. Amendments, Waivers, Possible Future Issuance of Class C Certificates, etc. (a) This Agreement may not be supplemented, amended or modified without the consent of each Trustee (acting, except in the case of any amendment pursuant to Section 3.5(e)(v)(y) hereof with respect to any Replacement Liquidity Facility or any amendment contemplated by the last sentence of this Section 9.1(a), with the consent of holders of Certificates of the related Class evidencing interests in the related Trust aggregating not less than a majority in interest in such Trust or as otherwise authorized pursuant to the relevant Trust Agreement), the Subordination Agent and each Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that this Agreement may be supplemented, amended or modified without the consent of any Trustee if such supplement, amendment or modification (i) is in accordance with Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(d) hereof or (ii) cures an ambiguity or inconsistency or does not materially adversely affect such Trustee or the holders of the related Class of Certificates; provided further, however, that, if such supplement, amendment or modification (A) would (x) directly or indirectly modify or supersede, or otherwise conflict with, Section 2.2(b), Section 3.5(e), Section 3.5(f)(other than the last sentence thereof), Section 3.5(l), the last sentence of this Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(c), Section 9.1(d), the second sentence of Section 10.6 or this proviso (collectively, the “US Airways Provisions”) or (y) otherwise adversely affect the interests of a potential Replacement Liquidity Provider or of US Airways with respect to its ability to replace any Liquidity Facility or with respect to its payment obligations under any Operative Agreement or (B) is made pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 9.1(a) or pursuant to Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(d), then such supplement, amendment or modification shall not be effective without the additional written consent of US Airways. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Certificateholder and each Liquidity Provider, no supplement, amendment or modification of this Agreement may (i) reduce the percentage of the interest in any Trust evidenced by the Certificates issued by such Trust necessary to consent to modify or amend any provision of this Agreement or to waive compliance therewith, (ii) to the extent such Section relates to the rights or obligations of any Liquidity Provider, Section 2.6(c) or (iii) except as provided in this Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(d), modify Section 2.4 or 3.2 hereof, relating to the distribution of monies received by the Subordination Agent hereunder from the Equipment Notes or pursuant to the Liquidity Facilities. Nothing contained in this Section shall require the consent of a Trustee at any time following the payment of Final Distributions with respect to the related Class of Certificates. If the Replacement Liquidity Facility for any Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.5(e) hereof is to be comprised of more than one instrument as

contemplated by the definition of the term “Replacement Liquidity Facility”, then each of the parties hereto agrees to amend this Agreement to incorporate appropriate mechanics for multiple Liquidity Facilities for an individual Trust.

(b) In the event that the Subordination Agent, as the registered holder of any Equipment Notes, receives a request for the giving of any notice or for its consent to any amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver under such Equipment Notes, the Trust Indenture pursuant to which such Equipment Notes were issued, or the related Participation Agreement or other related document, (i) if no Indenture Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such Trust Indenture, the Subordination Agent shall request directions with respect to each Series of such Equipment Notes from the Trustee of the Trust which holds such Equipment Notes and shall vote or consent in accordance with the directions of such Trustee, and (ii) if any Indenture Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such Trust Indenture, the Subordination Agent will exercise its voting rights with respect to such Equipment Notes as directed by the Controlling Party (subject to Sections 4.1 and 4.4 hereof); provided that no such amendment, modification or waiver shall, without the consent of each affected Certificateholder and each Liquidity Provider, reduce the amount of principal or interest payable by US Airways under any Equipment Note or change the time of payments or method of calculation of any amount under any Equipment Note.

(c) If Series B Equipment Notes or Series C Equipment Notes issued with respect to all of the Aircraft are redeemed and re-issued in accordance with the terms of Section 2.10(b) of each Trust Indenture and Section 4(a)(v) of the Note Purchase Agreement, such series of re-issued Equipment Notes (the “Refinancing Equipment Notes”) shall be issued to a new pass through trust (a “Refinancing Trust”) that issues a class of pass through certificates (the “Refinancing Certificates”) to certificateholders (the “Refinancing Certificateholders”) pursuant to a pass through trust agreement (a “Refinancing Trust Agreement”) with a trustee (a “Refinancing Trustee”). A Refinancing Trust, a Refinancing Trustee and the Refinancing Certificates shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement in the same manner as the Trust, the Trustee and the Certificates of the Class corresponding to the series of the refinanced Equipment Notes, including the subordination of the Refinancing Certificates to the Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations and the Class A Certificates and, if the Class C Certificates are being refinanced, the Class B Certificates. Such issuance of Refinancing Equipment Notes and Refinancing Certificates and the amendment of this Agreement as provided below shall require Ratings Confirmation and shall not materially adversely affect any of the Trustees. This Agreement shall be amended by written agreement of US Airways and the Subordination Agent to give effect to the issuance of the Refinancing Certificates subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) the Refinancing Trustee shall be added as a party to this Agreement;

(ii) the definitions of “Certificate”, “Class”, “Class B Certificates” (if applicable), “Class C Certificates” (if applicable), “Final Legal Distribution Date”, “Trust”, “Trust Agreement” and “Controlling Party” (and such other applicable definitions) shall be revised, as appropriate, to reflect such issuance (and the subordination of the Refinancing Certificates and the Refinancing Equipment Notes);

(iii) with respect to any refinancing of the Class B Certificates, the Refinancing Certificates related thereto may have the benefit of credit support similar to the Class B Liquidity Facility, and claims for fees, interest, expenses, reimbursement of advances and other obligations arising from such credit support may rank pari passu with similar claims in respect of the Class A Liquidity Facility so long as a Ratings Confirmation and the prior written consent of the Class A Liquidity Provider shall have been obtained; and with respect to any refinancing of the Class C Certificates, the Refinancing Certificates related thereto shall not have the benefit of any credit support similar to the Liquidity Facilities;

(iv) the Refinancing Certificates cannot be issued to US Airways but may be issued to any of US Airways’ Affiliates so long as such Affiliate shall have bankruptcy remote and special purpose provisions in its certificate of incorporation or other organizational documents and any subsequent transfer of the Refinancing Certificates to any Affiliate of US Airways shall be similarly restricted; and

(v) the scheduled payment dates on the Refinancing Equipment Notes shall be on the Regular Distribution Dates.

The issuance of the Refinancing Certificates in compliance with all of the foregoing terms of this Section 9.1(c) shall not require the consent of any of the Trustees or the holders of any Class of Certificates. Each of the Liquidity Providers hereby agrees and confirms that it shall be deemed to consent to any issuance and amendment in accordance with this Section 9.1(c) (subject to the Class A Liquidity Provider’s consent right in Section 9.1(c)(iii)) and any such issuance and amendment shall not affect any of its respective obligations under the Liquidity Facilities.

(d) Pursuant to the terms of Section 2.02 of each Trust Indenture and Section 4(a)(v) of the Note Purchase Agreement, if Series C Equipment Notes were not issued on the Closing Date, Equipment Notes of such Series may be issued at any time after the Closing Date. If Series C Equipment Notes are issued under one or more of the Trust Indentures, such Series C Equipment Notes shall be issued to a new pass through trust, the Class C Trust referred to herein, that issues a class of pass through certificates, the Class C Certificates referred to herein, to certificateholders, the Class C Certificateholders referred to herein, pursuant to a pass through trust agreement, the Class C Trust Agreement referred to herein, with a trustee, the Class C Trustee referred to herein. In such case, this Agreement shall be amended by written agreement of US Airways and the Subordination Agent to provide that, at the time that Class C Certificates are issued and the Class C Trustee becomes a party hereto, the references to “Class C Adjusted Interest,” “Class C Certificateholders,” “Class C Certificates,” “Class C Trust,” “Class C Trust Agreement” and “Class C Trustee” shall become operative and have full force and effect. Such issuance and the amendment of this Agreement (and any related amendments to the Trust Indentures necessary to give effect thereto) shall require Ratings Confirmation and shall not materially adversely affect any of the Trustees. This Agreement shall be amended by written agreement of US Airways and the Subordination Agent to give effect to the issuance of Class C Certificates subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) the Class C Trustee shall be added as a party to this Agreement;

(ii) the definitions of “Final Legal Distribution Date” and “Stated Interest Rate” (and such other applicable definitions) shall be revised, as appropriate, to reflect the issuance of the Class C Certificates;

(iii) the Class C Certificates shall not have the benefit of any credit support similar to the Liquidity Facilities;

(iv) if the Class C Certificates are issued prior to the Delivery Period Expiry Date (A) the net proceeds thereof, if any, not applied to the purchase of Series C Equipment Notes on the date of issuance thereof shall be held in escrow and placed in deposit on behalf of the escrow agent with a depositary, all on terms and conditions, and under documentation, substantially similar to the Deposit Agreements and Escrow and Paying Agent Agreements applicable to the net proceeds of the Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates and (B) the Series C Equipment Notes shall be issued and purchased by the Subordination Agent on behalf of the Class C Trustee on terms and conditions, and under documentation, substantially similar to the Note Purchase Agreement and Participation Agreement applicable to the purchase of the Series A Equipment Notes and Series B Equipment Notes;

(v) the Class C Certificates cannot be issued to US Airways but may be issued to any of US Airways’ Affiliates so long as such Affiliate shall have bankruptcy remote and special purpose provisions in its certificate of incorporation or other organizational documents and any subsequent transfer of the Class C Certificates to any Affiliate of US Airways shall be similarly restricted; and

(vi) the Series C Equipment Notes shall bear a fixed rate of interest and the scheduled payment dates on such Series C Equipment Notes shall be on the Regular Distribution Dates.

The issuance of the Class C Certificates in compliance with all of the foregoing terms of this Section 9.1(d) shall not require the consent of any of the Trustees or the holders of any Class of Certificates. Each of the Liquidity Providers hereby agrees and confirms that it shall be deemed to consent to any issuance and amendment in accordance with this Section 9.1(d) and any such issuance and amendment shall not affect any of its respective obligations under the Liquidity Facilities.

SECTION 9.2. Subordination Agent Protected. If, in the reasonable opinion of the institution acting as the Subordination Agent hereunder, any document required to be executed pursuant to the terms of Section 9.1 affects any right, duty, immunity or indemnity with respect to it under this Agreement or any Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent may in its discretion decline to execute such document.

SECTION 9.3. Effect of Supplemental Agreements. Upon the execution of any amendment, consent or supplement hereto pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Agreement shall be and be deemed to be and shall be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Agreement of the parties hereto and beneficiaries hereof shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the

terms and conditions of any such supplemental agreement shall be and be deemed to be and shall be part of the terms and conditions of this Agreement for any and all purposes. In executing or accepting any supplemental agreement permitted by this Article IX, the Subordination Agent shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an opinion of counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental agreement is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.

SECTION 9.4. Notice to Rating Agencies. Promptly upon receipt of any amendment, consent, modification, supplement or waiver contemplated by this Article IX and prior to taking any action required to be taken thereunder, the Subordination Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Rating Agency.

(v) take any other action which might discharge a subordinated party or a surety under applicable law;

provided, however, that the taking of any such actions by any of the Trustees, the Liquidity Providers or the Subordination Agent shall not prejudice the rights or adversely affect the obligations of any other party under this Agreement.

(c) To the extent that any Liquidity Provider or any of the properties of any Liquidity Provider has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, and whether under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (or any successor legislation) or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon this Agreement, including, without limitation, immunity from suit or service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal or execution of a judgment, or immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, such Liquidity Provider hereby irrevocably and expressly waives any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States or elsewhere.
