SECTION 1.3. Form of Documents Delivered to Pass Through Trustee. In
any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by
an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters
be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that

certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other
such Persons as to other matters and any such Person may certify or give an
opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any Opinion of Counsel stated to be based on the opinion of other

instruments under this Pass Through Trust Agreement, they may, but need not, be
consolidated and form one instrument.
SECTION 1.4. Acts of Certificateholders.
(a) Any direction, consent, waiver or other action provided by this
Pass Through Trust Agreement to be given or taken by Certificateholders may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by an agent duly appointed
in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action
shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the
Pass
-13-
19
Through Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to Union, any
Equipment Trust Trustee or the Indenture Trustee. Such instrument or
instrument (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Certificateholders signing such
instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a
writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Pass Through Trust Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Pass Through
Trustee, Union, any Equipment Trust Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, if made
in the manner provided in this Section.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or
other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds
or administer oaths that the Person executing such instrument acknowledged to
him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution
sworn to before any such notary or such other officer and where such execution
is by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a partnership,
on behalf of such corporation, association or partnership, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact
and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority
of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other reasonable
manner which the Pass Through Trustee deems sufficient. In the absence of bad
faith on the part of the Pass Through Trustee, an Officer's Certificate may be
deemed to be conclusively proved.
(c) In determining whether the Certificateholders of the requisite
Fractional Undivided Interests of Certificates Outstanding have given any
direction, consent or waiver (a "Direction"), under this Pass Through Trust
Agreement, Certificates owned by Union, the Owner Trustee, the Owner
Participant or any Affiliate of any such Person shall be disregarded and deemed
not to be Outstanding under this Pass Through Trust Agreement for purposes of
any such determination. In determining whether the Pass Through Trustee shall
be protected in relying upon any such Direction, only Certificates which the
Pass Through Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any such Person owns 100% of the
Certificates Outstanding, such Certificates shall not be so disregarded as
aforesaid, and (ii) if any amount of Certificates so owned by any such Person
have been pledged in good faith, such Certificates shall not be disregarded as
aforesaid if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Pass Through
Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Certificates and
that the pledgee is not either of the Company, the Owner Trustee, the Pass
Through Trustee, the Owner Participant or any Affiliate of any such Person.
(d) Union, on behalf of the Company, may at its option by delivery of
an Officer's Certificate to the Pass Through Trustee set a record date to
determine the Certificateholders entitled to give any consent, request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, waiver or other Act. Notwithstanding Section
316(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, such record date shall be the record date
specified in such Officer's Certificate which shall be a date not more than 30
nor less than 15 days prior to the first solicitation of Certificateholders in
connection therewith. If such a record date is fixed, such consent, request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver or
-14-
20
other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the
Certificateholders of record at the close of business on such record date shall
be deemed to be Certificateholders for the purposes of determining whether
Certificateholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Certificates have
authorized or agreed or consented to such consent, request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the
Outstanding Certificates shall be computed as of such record date; provided
that no such consent, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver
or other act by the Certificateholders on such record date shall be deemed
effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement not later than one year after the record date.
(e) Any direction, consent, waiver or other action by the
Certificateholder of any Certificate shall bind the Certificateholder of every
Certificate issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu
thereof, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.
(f) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.4(c), Certificates
owned by or pledged to any Person shall have an equal and proportionate benefit
under the provisions of this Pass Through Trust Agreement, without preference,
priority, or distinction as among all of the Certificates.

equalling the aggregate principal amount of the Equipment Notes and ETCs, as
the case may be, to be purchased by the Pass Through Trustee pursuant to the
Equipment Trust Agreements, this Pass Through Trust Agreement and the
Participation Agreement and evidencing the entire ownership of the Pass Through

the receipt of consideration in an amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the Equipment Notes and ETCs to be issued from time to time, as

respectively, and, concurrently therewith, the Pass Through Trustee shall
purchase, in the case of the Equipment Notes pursuant to the terms and

the terms and conditions of the Union Equipment Trust Agreement, the ETCs
(except
-15-

Postponed Notes, if any) then issued, at a purchase price equal to the amount
of consideration received by the Pass Through Trustee with respect to such
Equipment Notes and ETCs, respectively. Upon the issuance after the Issuance
Date of any Equipment Notes and Union ETCs not previously purchased by the Pass
Through Trustee, the Pass Through Trustee shall purchase at such time such
Equipment Notes and Union ETCs at a purchase price equal to the amount of

will not be issued, on the next Special Distribution Date, if such investments
are reasonably available for purchase. The Pass Through Trustee shall make
withdrawals from the Escrow Account only as provided in this Pass Through Trust
Agreement. An account statement delivered by the Pass Through Trustee to Union

identified therein accurately reflect the investment directions given to the
Pass Through Trustee by Union, unless Union notifies the Pass Through Trustee
in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days of receipt of such
statement.
The Pass Through Trustee shall hold all Specified Investments until

Investments. If Specified Investments held in the Escrow Account mature prior

Specified Investments (other than any earnings thereon) shall be reinvested by
the Pass Through Trustee at the written direction and risk of, and for the
benefit of, Union in Specified Investments maturing (i) no later than the
Initial Cut-off Date or (ii) if Union has given notice to the Pass Through
Trustee that the Postponed Notes will not be issued, on the next Special

Trust Agreement, the Pass Through Trustee shall promptly deposit into the
Escrow Account an amount equal to the purchase price of such Equipment Notes or

the Subsequent Cut-off Date or (ii) if Union has given notice to the Pass
Through Trustee that the aforementioned Equipment Notes or Union ETCs will not
be issued, on the next Special Distribution Date, if such investments are

Agreement. An account statement delivered by the Pass Through Trustee to Union

identified therein accurately reflect the investment directions given to the
Pass Through Trustee by Union, unless Union notifies the Pass Through Trustee
in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days of receipt of such
statement.
The Pass Through Trustee shall hold all Specified Investments until

Investments. If Specified Investments held in the Escrow Account mature prior

Participation Agreement, and declares that the Pass Through Trustee holds and

Pass Through Trustee shall provide the Company with written certification as to
the destruction of all such Certificates.
SECTION 3.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If
(a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Registrar, or the Registrar
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Registrar and the Pass Through
Trustee such security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by them to save
each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Registrar or the
Pass Through Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Pass Through Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like Fractional Undivided Interest with the
same final Regular Distribution Date. In connection with the issuance of any
new Certificate under this Section 3.5, the Pass Through Trustee shall require

that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the
fees and expenses of the Pass Through Trustee and the Registrar) connected
therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall
constitute conclusive evidence of the appropriate Fractional Undivided Interest
in the Pass Through Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Pass Through Trustee,
the Registrar, nor any Paying Agent of the Pass Through Trustee shall be

acceptance of a Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the income and
proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for distribution to
the Certificateholder thereof as provided in this Pass Through Trust Agreement.
SECTION 3.9. Book-Entry and Registered Certificates.

the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Certificate Owners. In
such case, the Certificates delivered to The Depository Trust Company shall
initially be registered on the Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee
of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a
Registered Certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in the
Certificates, except as provided above and in Subsection (d) below. Except
with respect to the De Minimis Certificate (if any), unless and until
Registered Certificates have been issued pursuant to Subsection (d) below:
(i) the provisions of this Section 3.9 shall be in full force
and effect;

receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest and
Make-Whole Amount, if any, on the Certificates to such Clearing Agency
Participants; and
(v) whenever this Pass Through Trust Agreement requires or
permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of
Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing a specified
percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests, the Clearing Agency
shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that
it has received instructions to such effect from Certificate Owners
and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing,
respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in
Certificates and has delivered such instructions to the Pass
Through Trustee. The Pass Through Trustee shall have no obligation to
determine whether the Clearing Agency has in fact received any such
instructions.
(b) Except with respect to the De Minimis Certificate (if any),
whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required
under this Pass Through Trust Agreement, unless and until Registered
Certificates shall have been issued pursuant to Subsection (d) below, the Pass
Through Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein
to be given to Certificateholders to the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing
Agency Participants, and shall make available additional copies as requested by
such Clearing Agency Participants.

Date and Special Distribution Date, the Pass Through Trustee will request from
the Clearing Agency a Securities Position Listing setting forth the names of
all Clearing Agency Participants reflected on the Clearing Agency's books as
holding interests in the Certificates on such Record Date. The Pass Through

described in Section 4.3 hereof.

Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities and the Pass Through Trustee or Union,
on behalf of the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) Union,
on behalf of the Company, at its option, advises the Pass Through Trustee in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing
Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners
of Book-Entry Certificates
-23-
29
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority
in interest in the Pass Through Trust, by act of such Certificate Owners
delivered to the Company, and the Pass Through Trustee, advise the Pass Through
Trustee and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in
writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing
Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, then the
Pass Through Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Clearing
Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Registered Certificates. Upon surrender to the Pass Through Trustee of all the
Certificates held by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration of Registered
Certificates in the names of Certificate Owners, the Pass Through Trustee shall
issue and deliver the Registered Certificates in accordance with the
instructions of the Clearing Agency. Upon the issuance of Registered
Certificates pursuant to this Section 3.9(d), the Record Date with respect to
such Registered Certificates shall be the fifth Business Day preceding a
Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date, as applicable. Neither
the Company, the Registrar, the Paying Agent nor the Pass Through Trustee shall
be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively
rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such registration instructions.
Upon the issuance of Registered Certificates, the Pass Through Trustee shall
recognize the Persons in whose name the Registered Certificates are registered
as the Certificateholders hereunder. Neither the Company nor the Pass Through
Trustee shall be liable if the Pass Through Trustee or Union, on behalf of the
Company is unable to locate a qualified successor Clearing Agency.

Representations and fulfill its responsibilities thereunder.

Payments due with respect to the Equipment Notes or ETCs on such date, the Pass
Through Trustee shall distribute to the Certificateholders of the Pass Through

Certificateholder.
(c) The Pass Through Trustee shall at the expense of the Company

interest,

-26-
32
If the amount of Make-Whole Amount, if any, payable upon the
prepayment of an Equipment Note has not been calculated at the time that the
Pass Through Trustee mails notice of a Special Payment, it shall be sufficient
if the notice sets forth the other amounts to be distributed and states that
any Make-Whole Amount received will also be distributed.
If any prepayment of the Equipment Notes is canceled, the Pass Through
Trustee, as soon as possible after learning thereof, shall cause notice thereof
to be mailed to each Certificateholder at its address as it appears on the
Register.

and the amount allocable to Make-Whole Amount, if any;

respect to the Pass Through Trust for such calendar year or, in the event such
Person was a Certificateholder of record during a portion of such calendar
year, for the applicable portion of such year, and such other items as are
readily available to the Pass Through Trustee and which a Certificateholder
shall reasonably request as necessary for the purpose of such
Certificateholder's preparation of its Federal income tax returns. Such report
and such other items shall be prepared on the basis of information supplied to
the Pass Through Trustee by the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be
delivered by the Pass Through Trustee to such Clearing Agency Participants to
be available for forwarding by such Clearing Agency Participants to Certificate
Owners.
SECTION 4.4. Investment of Special Payment Money. Any money received
by the Pass Through Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1(b) representing a Special
Payment which is not to be promptly distributed shall, to the extent
practicable, be invested in Permitted Investments by the Pass Through Trustee
pending distribution of such Special Payment pursuant to Section 4.2. Any
-27-
33
investment made pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be in such Permitted
Investments having maturities not later than the date that such moneys are
required to be used to make the payment required under Section 4.2 on the
applicable Special Distribution Date and the Pass Through Trustee shall hold
any such Permitted Investments until maturity. The Pass Through Trustee shall
have no liability with respect to any investment made pursuant to this Section
4.4, other than by reason of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the

ARTICLE V
THE COMPANY
SECTION 5.1. Maintenance of Corporate Existence. Each of the
Company, at its own cost and expense, will do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence, rights and franchises, except as otherwise specifically permitted in
Section 5.2; provided, however, that neither of the Company shall be required
to preserve any right or franchise if it shall determine that the preservation
thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business.
SECTION 5.2. Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets Permitted.
(a) Union shall not consolidate with or merge into any other
corporation or sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any
Person, unless the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which Union
is merged or the Person which acquires by sale or conveyance all or
substantially all of the assets of Union, shall be a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State or the
District of Columbia, and shall execute and deliver to the Pass Through Trustee
an agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to the Pass Through Trustee
containing an assumption by such successor corporation of the due and punctual
performance and observance of each covenant and condition of this Agreement to
which Union is a party.
(b) Immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of
Default, no Indenture Default, no Equipment Trust Default, and no event that,
after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, an
Indenture Default or an Equipment Trust Default, shall have occurred and be
continuing.
Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale or conveyance, of all or
substantially all of the assets of Union, the successor corporation formed by
such consolidation or into which Union, is merged or to which such sale or
conveyance is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise
every right and power of, Union, under this Agreement with the same effect
-28-
34
as if such successor corporation had been named as Union, herein. No such sale
or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of Union, as an
entirety shall have the effect of releasing Union, or any successor corporation
which shall theretofore have become such from its liability hereunder.
(c) The Pass Through Trustee may accept an Officer's Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel of Union, on behalf of the Company, as conclusive
evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and
any such assumption complies with the provisions of this Section 5.2.
ARTICLE VI
DEFAULT
SECTION 6.1. Events of Default. If an Indenture Default under the
Indenture or an Equipment Trust Default under either Equipment Trust Agreement
(an "Event of Default") shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and
every case, so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the Pass
Through Trustee may vote all of the Equipment Notes issued under the Indenture
or ETCs issued under either of the Equipment Trust Agreements, as the case may
be, to which such Event of Default relates that are held in the Trust Property,
and upon the direction of the Certificateholders holding Certificates
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority
in interest in the Pass Through Trust, the Trustee shall vote a corresponding
majority of such Equipment Notes or such ETCs, as the case may be, in favor of
directing the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or the Equipment Trust
Trustee under such Equipment Trust Agreement, as the case may be, to declare
the unpaid principal amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding under the
Indenture or the ETCs then outstanding under such Equipment Trustee Agreement,
as the case may be, and accrued interest thereon to be due and payable under,
and in accordance with the provisions of, the Indenture or such Equipment Trust
Agreement, as the case may be. In addition, if an Indenture Default shall have
occurred and be continuing under the Indenture or an Equipment Trust Default
shall have occurred and be continuing under either Equipment Trust Agreement,
the Pass Through Trustee may, and upon the direction of the Certificateholders
holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not
less than a majority in interest in the Pass Through Trust, shall, vote all of
the Equipment Notes issued under such Indenture or the ETCs issued under such
Equipment Trust Agreement, as the case may be, to which such Event of Default
relates that are held in the Pass Through Trust to direct such Indenture
Trustee or such Equipment Trust Trustee, as the case may be, regarding the
exercise of remedies provided in Article V of the Indenture or Article V of
such Equipment Trust Agreement, as the case may be.
In addition, after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to any Equipment Notes or ETCs, the Pass Through
Trustee may in its discretion, and upon the
-29-
35
direction of the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional
Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the
Pass Through Trust shall, by such officer or agent as it may appoint, sell,
convey, transfer and deliver (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all or
part of such Equipment Notes or ETCs, without recourse to or warranty by the
Pass Through Trustee or any Certificateholder, to any Person. In any such
case, the Pass Through Trustee shall sell, assign, contract to sell or
otherwise dispose of and deliver such Equipment Note or Equipment Notes or ETC
or ETCs in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any
location or locations at the option of the Pass Through Trustee, all upon such
terms and conditions as it may reasonably deem advisable and at such prices as
it may reasonably deem advisable, for cash. If the Pass Through Trustee so
decides or is required to sell or otherwise dispose of any Equipment Note or
ETC pursuant to this Section, the Pass Through Trustee shall take such of the
actions described above as it may reasonably deem most effectual to complete
the sale or other disposition of such Equipment Note or ETC, so as to provide
for the payment in full of all amounts due on the Certificates.
If, with respect to any Equipment Notes, an Indenture Default shall
have occurred and be continuing and the Owner Trustee, which is a party to the
Indenture has elected, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.04(b) of
the Indenture, to purchase all of the then outstanding Equipment Notes issued
under the Indenture at a price equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount
thereof, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such purchase,
then the Pass Through Trustee shall sell to such Owner Trustee all of the
Equipment Notes issued under the Indenture held in the Pass Through Trust at a
price equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount thereof, together with
accrued interest thereon to the date of such sale.
In no event shall (i) an Indenture Default constitute an Equipment
Trust Default or (ii) an Equipment Trust Default constitute an Indenture
Default.
SECTION 6.2. Incidents of Sale of Equipment Notes and ETCs. Upon any
sale of all or any part of the Equipment Notes or ETCs, as the case may be,
made either under the power of sale given under this Pass Through Trust
Agreement or otherwise for the enforcement of this Pass Through Trust
Agreement, the following shall be applicable:
(i) Certificateholders and Pass Through Trustee May Purchase
Equipment Notes or ETCs. Any Certificateholder, the Pass Through
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity or any other Person
may bid for and purchase any of the Equipment Notes or ETCs, as the
case may be, and upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold,
retain, possess and dispose of such Equipment Notes or ETCs, as the
case may be, in their own absolute right without further
accountability; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply
to the sale of Equipment Notes or ETCs, as the case may be, pursuant
to the last paragraph of Section 6.1.
-30-
36
(ii) Receipt of Pass Through Trustee Shall Discharge
Purchaser. The receipt of the Pass Through Trustee or of the officer
making such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to any purchaser for
his purchase money, and, after paying such purchase money and
receiving such receipt, such purchaser or its personal representative
or assigns shall not be obliged to see to the application of such
purchase money, or be in any way answerable for any loss,
misapplication or non-application thereof.
(iii) Application of Moneys Received Upon Sale. Any moneys
collected by the Pass Through Trustee upon any sale made either under
the power of sale given by this Pass Through Trust Agreement or
otherwise for the enforcement of this Pass Through Trust Agreement,
shall be applied as provided in Section 4.2(b).
SECTION 6.3. Judicial Proceedings Instituted by Pass Through Trustee.
(a) Pass Through Trustee May Bring Suit. If there shall be a failure
to make payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on
any Equipment Note or ETC, or if there shall be any failure to pay Rent (as
defined in the Lease) under the Lease when due and payable, then the Pass
Through Trustee, in its own name, and as trustee of an express trust, as holder
of such Equipment Notes or ETC, shall be, to the extent permitted by and in
accordance with the terms of the Note Documents or ETC Documents, entitled and
empowered to institute any suits, actions or proceedings at law, in equity or
otherwise, for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid on such Equipment
Notes or ETCs or under the Lease and may prosecute any such claim or proceeding
to judgment or final decree with respect to the whole amount of any such sums
so due and unpaid.
(b) Pass Through Trustee May File Proofs of Claim; Appointment of
Pass Through Trustee as Attorney-in-Fact in Judicial Proceedings. The Pass
Through Trustee in its own name, or as trustee of an express trust, or as
attorney-in-fact for the Certificateholders, or in any one or more of such
capacities (irrespective of whether distributions on the Certificates shall
then be due and payable, or the payment of the principal on the Equipment Notes
or ETCs, as the case may be, shall then be due and payable, as therein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Pass
Through Trustee shall have made any demand to the Indenture Trustee for the
payment of overdue principal, Make-Whole Amount (if any) or interest on
Equipment Notes or ETCs, as the case may be), shall be entitled and empowered
to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary
or advisable in order to have the claims of the Pass Through Trustee and of the
Certificateholders allowed in any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy,
liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or any other judicial proceedings
relative to the Company, the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, the
Equipment Trust Trustees or their respective creditors or property. Any
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or similar official) in
any judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Certificateholder to make
payments in respect of such claim to the Pass Through Trustee and, in the event
that the Pass Through Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the
-31-
37
Certificateholders, to pay to the Pass Through Trustee any amount due to it for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Pass
Through Trustee, its agents and counsel. Nothing contained in this Pass
Through Trust Agreement shall be deemed to give to the Pass Through Trustee any
right to accept or consent to any plan of reorganization or otherwise by action
of any character in any such proceeding to waive of change in any way any right
of any Certificateholder.
SECTION 6.4. Control by Certificateholders. Subject to Section 2.3,
the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided
Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Pass Through
Trust shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Pass Through Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Pass Through Trustee under this
Pass Through Trust Agreement, including any right of the Pass Through Trustee
as holder of the Equipment Notes or ETCs, provided that:
(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of
law or with this Pass Through Trust Agreement and would not involve
the Pass Through Trustee in personal liability or expense,
(ii) the Pass Through Trustee shall not determine that the
action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the
Certificateholders not taking part in such direction, it being
understood that (subject to Section 7.1) the Pass Through Trustee
shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or
forebearances are unjustly prejudicial to such certificateholders,
(iii) the Pass Through Trustee may take any other action
deemed proper by the Pass Through Trustee which is not inconsistent
with such direction, and
(iv) if an Indenture Default under the Indenture or an
Equipment Trust Default under either Equipment Trust Agreement shall
have occurred and be continuing, such direction shall not obligate the
Trustee to vote more than a corresponding majority of the related
Equipment Notes or ETCs, as the case may be, held by the Trust in
favor of directing any action by the Indenture Trustee with respect to
such Indenture Default or by the Equipment Trust Trustee with respect
to such Equipment Trust Default, as the case may be.
SECTION 6.5. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Certificateholders holding
Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less
than a majority in interest in the Pass Through Trust may on behalf of all of
the Certificateholders waive any past Event of Default hereunder and its
consequences or may instruct the Pass Through Trustee to waive any past default
under the Indenture, either Equipment Trust Agreement or this Agreement and its
consequences, except a default (i) in the payment of the principal of,
Make-Whole Amount, if
-32-
38
any, or interest on any Equipment Notes or ETCs, as the case may be, or (ii) in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX hereof cannot
be modified or amended without the consent of the Certificateholder holding
each Outstanding Certificate affected.
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist with respect
to this Pass Through Trust Agreement, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Pass
Through Trust Agreement and any direction given by the Pass Through Trustee on
behalf of such Certificateholders to the Indenture Trustee or Equipment Trust
Trustee, as the case may be, shall be annulled with respect thereto; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default
or impair any right consequent thereon. Upon any such waiver, the Pass Through
Trustee shall vote all the Equipment Notes issued under the Indenture or ETCs
issued under the relevant Equipment Trust Agreement, as the case may be, to
waive the corresponding Default.

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

successor of the Pass Through Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation
shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on

corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, with
a combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000, and shall be authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, subject to supervision by
Federal or state authorities. The Pass Through Trustee shall initially be the

of any Authorized Agent, shall be the successor of such Authorized Agent

part of the parties hereto or such Authorized Agent or such successor

may, and at the request of the Pass Through Trustee shall, at any time

resignation or termination of an Authorized Agent or in case at any time any
such Authorized Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section (when, in
either case, no other Authorized Agent performing the functions of such
Authorized Agent shall have been appointed), the Company shall promptly appoint
one or more qualified successor Authorized Agents, reasonably satisfactory to
the Pass Through Trustee, to perform the functions of the Authorized Agent
which has resigned or whose agency has been terminated or who shall have ceased
to be eligible under this Section. Union shall give written notice of any such
appointment made by them to the Pass Through Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the
Equipment Trust Trustees and the Indenture Trustee; and in each case the Pass
Through Trustee shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders
as their names and addresses appear on the Register.
(e) The Company agree, severally and not jointly, to pay, or cause to
be paid, pursuant to separate agreements from time to time to each Authorized

Through Trust. All moneys deposited with any Paying Agent for the purpose of
any payment on Certificates shall be deposited and held in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders entitled to such payment, subject to the

obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Pass Through Trust Agreement

Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by
the Pass Through Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums

the Pass Through Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further
liability with respect to such money.

its nominee shall be reflected as the owner of such Equipment Notes, ETCs,
Permitted Investments, or Specified Investments, as the case may be, in the
register of the issuer of such Equipment Notes, ETCs, Permitted Investments or
Specified Investments. In no event shall the Pass Through Trustee invest in,
or hold, Equipment Notes, ETCs, Permitted Investments or Specified Investments
in a manner that would cause the Pass Through Trustee not to have the ownership
interest in such Equipment Notes, ETCs, Permitted Investments or Specified
Investments under the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code in
effect where the Pass Through Trustee holds such Equipment Notes, ETCs,
Permitted Investments or Specified Investments or other applicable law then in
effect.

SECTION 7.16. Withholding Taxes; Information Reporting. The Pass
Through Trustee, as trustee of a grantor trust, shall exclude and withhold from
each distribution of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest and
other amounts due hereunder or under the Certificates any and all withholding
taxes applicable thereto as required by law. The Pass Through Trustee agrees
to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any
present or future taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with
respect to any amounts payable in respect of the Certificates, to withhold such
amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and
on behalf of the Certificateholders, that it will file any necessary
withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that, as promptly as
possible after the payment thereof, it will deliver to each Certificateholder
appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof, together with such
additional documentary evidence as such Certificateholders may reasonably
request from time to time. The Pass Through Trustee agrees to file any other
information reports as it may be required to file under United States law. To
the extent that the Pass Through Trustee fails, with respect to any
Certificateholder, to withhold and pay over any such taxes to the appropriate
taxing authority, the Pass Through Trustee shall, upon a claim being made for
such taxes by such authority, and before making any claim to Union for
indemnification under Section 7.1 of the Participation Agreement (if such
indemnification would otherwise be permissible thereunder), take all reasonable
steps to recover such taxes from such Certificateholder, including, without
limitation, withholding the amount of such taxes from subsequent distributions,
if any, to such Certificateholder. To the extent that the Pass Through Trustee
receives any amount from Union for indemnification of such taxes which the Pass
Through Trustee thereafter recovers from the appropriate Certificateholder
(including by
-46-
52
withholding from subsequent distributions to such Certificateholder), the Pass
Through Trustee shall reimburse Union therefor. The Pass Through Trustee shall
be permitted to rely upon any certificate presented by a Certificateholder
claiming an exemption from withholding absent negligence or willful misconduct
on the part of the Pass Through Trustee.
SECTION 7.17. Trustee's Liens. The Pass Through Trustee in its
individual capacity agrees that it will at its own cost and expense promptly

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

Certificateholder is bound. The property of the Pass Through Trust (the "Trust

the Certificateholder of this Certificate.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Pass Through
Trustee by wire transfer of funds to the Person entitled thereto, without the
presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation
hereon, provided, however, that in the event Certificates are issued in the
form of Registered Certificates, distributions on this Certificate will be made
by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto. Except as otherwise provided

[Reverse of Certificate]
The Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or an
obligation guaranteed by (except to the extent provided in the Pass Through
Trust Agreement), or an interest in Union, the Pass Through Trustee, in its
individual or trust capacities, any Owner Participant, any Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, either Equipment Trust Trustee in its individual capacity,
or any affiliate of any thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of
payment, all as more specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Pass
Through Trust Agreement. All payments or distributions made to
Certificateholders under the Pass Through Trust Agreement shall be made only
from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Pass Through Trustee
shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such
payments in accordance with the terms of the Pass Through Trust Agreement.
Each Certificateholder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees
that it will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust Property to
the extent available for distribution to such Certificateholder as provided in
the Pass Through Trust Agreement. This Certificate does not purport to
summarize the Pass Through Trust Agreement and reference is made to the Pass
Through Trust Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights,
benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the
Pass Through Trust Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at
the principal office of the Pass Through Trustee, and at such other places, if
any, designated by the Pass Through Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon
request.
The Pass Through Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions
therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Pass Through Trust Agreement at any time by the Company and the Pass Through
Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders holding Certificates
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority
in interest in the Pass Through Trust. Any such consent by the
Certificateholder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such
Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate
and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or
in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this
Certificate. The Pass Through Trust Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the
Certificateholders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Pass Through Trust Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
at the offices or agencies maintained by the Pass Through Trustee in its
capacity as Registrar, or by any successor Registrar, in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of New York, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Pass Through Trustee and the
Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder hereof or such
Certificateholder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or
more
A-4
67
new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Fractional Undivided Interest in the Pass Through Trust will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 and $1,000 integral multiples
thereof, except that one Certificate may be in a denomination of less than
$1,000. As provided in the Pass Through Trust Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Fractional Undivided Interest in the Pass Through Trust, as requested by the
Certificateholder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Pass Through Trustee shall require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
The Pass Through Trustee, the Registrar, and any agent of the Pass
Through Trustee or the Registrar may treat the person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Pass Through Trustee, the Registrar, nor any such agent shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Pass Through Trust
Agreement and the Pass Through Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the
distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to
them pursuant to the Pass Through Trust Agreement and the disposition of all
property held as part of the Trust Property.
