time to time thereafter, Certificates in an aggregate principal amount not in
excess of the amount specified in Section 2.04 shall be executed by the Owner
Trustee and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for authentication, and the
Indenture Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Certificates to
or upon the oral or written order of the Owner Trustee, signed, if written, by
an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, without any further action by the
Owner Trustee.
SECTION 2.02. Execution of Certificates. The Certificates shall be signed
-------------------------
on behalf of the Owner Trustee by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee.
Such signatures may be the manual
- 14 -
or facsimile signatures of such officer and minor errors or defects in any
reproduction of any such signature shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any Certificate which has been duly authenticated and
delivered by the Indenture Trustee.
In case any officer of the Owner Trustee who shall have signed any of the
Certificates shall cease to be such officer before the Certificate so signed
shall be authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee or disposed of by
the Owner Trustee, such Certificate nevertheless may be authenticated and
delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Certificate had

signed on behalf of the Owner Trustee by such person or persons as, at the
actual date of the execution of such Certificate, shall be the proper officers
of the Owner Trustee, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this
Indenture any such person was not such officer.
SECTION 2.03. Certificate of Authentication. Only such Certificates as
-----------------------------
shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set
forth in Exhibit B, executed by the Indenture Trustee by manual signature of one
of its authorized officers, shall be entitled to the security and benefits of
this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by
the Indenture Trustee upon any Certificate executed by the Owner Trustee shall
be conclusive evidence that the Certificate so authenticated has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder, as evidenced on the
Register, is entitled to the security and benefits of this Indenture.
SECTION 2.04. Form and Terms of Certificates; Payments of Principal,
------------------------------------------------------
Premium and Interest. The Certificates and the Indenture Trustee's certificate
--------------------
of authentication shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B
hereto. The Certificates shall be issuable as registered securities without
coupons and shall be numbered, lettered, or otherwise distinguished in such
manner or in accordance with such plans as the Owner Trustee executing the same
may determine with the approval of the Indenture Trustee.
The aggregate principal amount of Certificates that may be authenticated
and delivered under this Indenture, and which may at any time be Outstanding, is
limited as provided in the form of Certificate attached as Exhibit B hereto. The
Certificates shall be issued in registered form only and in denominations of
$1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, shall be dated the date of their
authentication, and shall be issued in the Maturities and principal amounts, and
shall bear interest at the rates per annum, specified in the form of Certificate
set forth in Exhibit B.
Any of the Certificates may be issued with appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted or otherwise
reproduced thereon such legend or legends,
- 15 -
not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, as may be required to
comply with any law or with any rules or regulations pursuant thereto, or with
the rules of any securities market in which the Certificates are admitted to
trading, or to conform to general usage.
Each Certificate shall bear interest from the date of issuance thereof or
from the most recent date to which interest has been paid and duly provided for,
as the case may be, which shall be payable on the dates specified on the face of
the form of Certificate set forth in Exhibit B hereto until the principal
thereof is paid or made available for payment in accordance herewith. Interest
shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
The principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on, the Certificates
shall be payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or at
any office or agency maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.02
hereof; provided, however, that interest may be payable at the option of the
-------- -------
Indenture Trustee or its Paying Agent by mailing checks for such interest
payable to or upon the written order of the Holders entitled thereto as they
shall appear on the Register; provided further, however, that notwithstanding
-------- ------- -------
the foregoing to the contrary, interest payable with respect to Certificates as
to which the Pass Through Trustee is the Holder shall be sent by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to an account or accounts in the United States
previously specified by the Pass Through Trustee to the Indenture Trustee.
The Holder at the close of business on any Record Date with respect to any
Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable
on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such
Certificate subsequent to the Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment
Date, except if and to the extent the Owner Trustee shall default in the payment
of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, in which case such defaulted
interest shall be paid to the Holder at the close of business on a subsequent
Record Date (which shall be not less than five or more than fifteen Business
Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest) established by
notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Owner Trustee to the Holders not
less than 15 days preceding such subsequent Record Date.
SECTION 2.05. Payments from Indenture Estate Only. All payments to be
------------------------------------
made by the Owner Trustee under this Indenture shall be made only from the
income and the proceeds from the Trust Estate to the extent included in the
Indenture Estate and only to the extent that the Owner Trustee shall have
sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Estate to the extent included in
the Indenture Estate to enable the Indenture Trustee to make distributions of
the amounts due in respect of the Certificates in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof; provided that under
--------
- 16 -
the Lease, the Lessee is obligated to pay or cause to be paid, to the extent
such payments are not required to be made from the assets subject to the Lien of
this Indenture or the income and proceeds received by the Indenture Trustee
therefrom, any net loss arising from the investment of funds held by the
Indenture Trustee which but for a Lease Payment Default, Lease Bankruptcy
Default or Lease Event of Default would be payable to Lessee. Each Holder by its
acceptance of a Certificate agrees that it will look solely to the income and
proceeds from the Indenture Estate to the extent available for distribution to
it as provided herein and that neither the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee,
the Trust Company nor the Indenture Trustee is personally liable to such Holder
for any amounts payable under this Indenture or such Certificate or for any
amounts payable or liability under any Certificate or this Indenture, except as
expressly provided herein in the case of the Trust Company, the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee, or in the case of the Owner Participant, except as
expressly provided in the Participation Agreement.
The Trust Company is not personally liable to any Holder, the Lessee, the
Owner Participant or the Indenture Trustee for any amounts payable under this
Indenture or for any liability under this Indenture or the Certificates, except
as a result of the Owner Trustee's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or as
otherwise expressly provided herein, in the Trust Agreement or in the
Participation Agreement.
If (1) all or any part of the Trust Estate becomes the property of a debtor
subject to the reorganization provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, (2) pursuant to
such reorganization provisions, including Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy
Code, the Owner Participant is required, by reason of the Trust Company or the
Owner Participant being held to have recourse liability to the Indenture Trustee
or any Holder (other than as contemplated by the Operative Documents), directly
or indirectly, to make payment on account of any amount payable as principal,
premium, interest or other amounts on the Certificates, and (3) the Indenture
Trustee actually receives any Excess Amount, as defined below, which reflects
any payment by the Owner Participant on account of (2) above, then the Indenture
Trustee, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall promptly refund to the
Owner Participant such Excess Amount. The Indenture Trustee hereby waives to the
fullest extent permitted by law the benefit of the provisions of Section 1111(b)
of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to recourse against the Trust Company and
the Owner Participant on account of any amount payable as principal, premium,
interest or other amounts pursuant to the Certificates. For purposes of this
paragraph, "Excess Amount" means the amount by which such payment exceeds the
amount which would have been received by the Indenture Trustee if the Trust
Company or the Owner Participant had not become subject to the recourse
liability referred to in clause (2) above. Nothing contained in this paragraph
shall prevent the Indenture Trustee from enforcing any personal recourse
obligation (and retaining the proceeds thereof) of the Owner Participant
- 17 -
under the Participation Agreement, this Indenture (other than referred to in
clause (2) above) or the Trust Agreement (and any exhibits or annexes thereto),
or from retaining any amount paid by the Owner Participant under Sections 5.01,
8.02 and 8.03 hereof. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring
any Holder to refund any amount distributed to such Holder pursuant to this
Indenture.
SECTION 2.06. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Indenture Trustee
-----------------------------------
will keep, on behalf of the Owner Trustee, at each office or agency to be
maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.02 a Register or Registers
on which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will
register, and will register the transfer of, Certificates as provided in this
Article. Such Register shall be in written form in the English language or in
any other form capable of being converted into such form within a reasonable
time.
Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Certificate at
any such office or agency, the Owner Trustee shall execute and the Indenture
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or
transferees a new Certificate or Certificates of the same Maturity and interest
rate and in authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount.
Any Certificate or Certificates may be exchanged for a Certificate or
Certificates of the same Maturity and interest rate but in other authorized
denominations, in an equal aggregate principal amount. Certificates to be
exchanged shall be surrendered at any office or agency to be maintained by the
Indenture Trustee for the purpose as provided in Section 3.02, and the Owner
Trustee shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
in exchange therefor the Certificate or Certificates which the Holder making the
exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously or
previously outstanding.
All Certificates presented for registration of transfer, exchange,
redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder or its attorney duly
authorized in writing and (except in the case of transfers pursuant to Section
20 of the Participation Agreement) the Indenture Trustee may require evidence
satisfactory to it as to the compliance of any such transfer with the Securities
Act.
The Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee may require payment from the
Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any exchange or registration of transfer of
Certificates. No service charge to the Holder shall be made for any such
transaction.
- 18 -
The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to exchange or register a
transfer of, nor shall the Owner Trustee be required to exchange, any
Certificates (a) for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the first mailing
of notice of redemption or purchase of such Certificates or (b) with respect to
which notice of redemption or purchase has been given pursuant to Section 6.03
and such notice has not been revoked.
All Certificates issued upon any transfer or exchange of Certificates shall
be valid obligations of the Owner Trustee, evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same security and benefits under this Indenture, as the
Certificates surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.
SECTION 2.07. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Certificates.
-----------------------------------------------------------
In case any temporary or definitive Certificate shall become mutilated, defaced
or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Owner Trustee shall, at the
written request of the Holder thereof, execute, and upon the oral or written
request of any officer of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, a new Certificate of like Maturity, payable in the
same principal amount, dated the date of such Certificate, designated as issued
under this Indenture, bearing a number not contemporaneously or previously
outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced
Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Certificate so apparently
destroyed, lost or stolen. If the Certificate being replaced has been apparently
destroyed, lost or stolen, the Holder of such Certificate shall furnish to the
Owner Trustee and to the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required
by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless from issuance
of such substitute Certificate pursuant hereto (in the case of the Pass Through
Trustee, a personal agreement to indemnify shall be sufficient for this purpose)
and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction
of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Certificate and of the
ownership thereof.
Upon the issuance of any substitute Certificate, the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and
expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Certificate
which has matured or is about to mature, or has been called for redemption in
full, shall become mutilated or defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or
stolen, the Owner Trustee may, instead of issuing a substitute Certificate, pay
or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the
case of a mutilated or defaced Certificate), if, in every case of apparent
destruction, loss or theft, the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the
Owner Trustee and to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as either
of them may
- 19 -
reasonably require to save each of them harmless from all risks relating to such
payment and the applicant shall also furnish to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction,
loss or theft of such Certificate and of the ownership thereof.
Every substitute Certificate issued pursuant to the provisions of this
Section by virtue of the fact that any Certificate is apparently destroyed, lost
or stolen shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the
Owner Trustee, whether or not the apparently destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate shall be enforceable at any time by anyone and shall be entitled to
all the security and benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of
rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all
other Certificates duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates
shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted
by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, defaced, or apparently destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificates and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies
notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary
with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other
securities without their surrender.
SECTION 2.08. Cancellation of Certificates; Destruction Thereof. All
-------------------------------------------------

exchange, if surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or if surrendered to the
Owner Trustee or any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, shall
be delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation and shall be cancelled by
it; and no Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly
permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee
shall destroy cancelled Certificates held by it and deliver a certificate of
destruction to the Owner Trustee. If the Owner Trustee shall acquire any of the
Certificates, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction
of the indebtedness represented by such Certificates unless and until the same
are delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation.
SECTION 2.09. Temporary Certificates. Pending the preparation of
----------------------
definitive Certificates, the Owner Trustee may execute and, upon the oral or
written request of an officer of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates (printed, lithographed,
typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee). Temporary Certificates shall be issuable as registered
Certificates without coupons, of any authorized denomination, and substantially
in the form of the definitive Certificates but with such omissions, insertions
and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Certificates, all as may be
determined by the Owner Trustee with the concurrence of the
- 20 -
Indenture Trustee. Temporary Certificates may contain such reference to any
provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Certificate
shall be executed by the Owner Trustee and, upon the oral or written request of
an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, be authenticated by the Indenture
Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with
like effect, as the definitive Certificates. Without unreasonable delay the
Owner Trustee shall execute and shall furnish definitive Certificates and
thereupon temporary Certificates shall be surrendered in exchange therefor
without charge at any office or agency to be maintained by the Indenture Trustee
for the purpose pursuant to Section 3.02, and, upon the oral or written request
of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Certificates an equal
aggregate principal amount of definitive Certificates of the same Maturities and
interest rates and in authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, temporary
Certificates shall be entitled to the same security and benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Certificates.
SECTION 2.10. Termination of Interest in Indenture Estate. A Holder shall
-------------------------------------------
not, as such, have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the
Indenture Estate when and if the principal amount of and premium, if any, and
interest on and other amounts due under all Certificates held by such Holder and
all other sums payable to such Holder hereunder shall have been paid in full.
SECTION 2.11. Certificates in Respect of Replacement Airframe or Engine.
---------------------------------------------------------
Upon the execution and delivery of a Trust Agreement and Trust Indenture
Supplement covering a Replacement Airframe and/or Replacement Engine, as

Event of Default, Lease Payment Default or a Lease Bankruptcy Default, such
amount, and the proceeds of any investment thereof (or as reduced by such

against such obligations or then required to be applied against such obligations
pursuant hereto, be paid to the Lessee to the extent provided in the Lease.

amount so to be distributed shall be insufficient to pay all such amounts in

Certificates held by each such Holder, plus the accrued but unpaid interest
thereon to the date of distribution and all other amounts due thereunder (but
without premium, except to the extent otherwise payable hereunder), bears to the
aggregate unpaid principal amount

and, to the extent permitted by law, interest and other amounts due thereunder,
second, to the payment of any other amount (other than the principal of such
------
Certificate) due hereunder or under such Certificate to the Holder of such
Certificate, third, to the payment of the principal of such Certificate if then

SECTION 5.08. Investment of Amounts Held by Indenture Trustee. Amounts
-----------------------------------------------
held by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the proviso to Section 5.01 hereof,
pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof or pursuant to any provision of any Indenture
Document providing for investment of sums pursuant to this Section 5.08 shall be
invested by the Indenture Trustee from time to time in securities (i) selected
by the Lessee on behalf of the Owner Trustee, or if a Lease Event of Default is
continuing, by the Owner Trustee and if the Lessee or the Owner Trustee, as the
case may be, fail to select the securities to be invested, by the Indenture
Trustee and (ii) of the type listed in Section 24 of the Lease, which may
include securities or obligations issued by the Indenture Trustee or any of its
affiliates. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, any income
realized as a result of any such investment, net of the Indenture Trustee's
reasonable fees and expenses in making such investment, shall be held and
applied by the Indenture Trustee in the same manner as the principal amount of
such investment is to be applied and any losses, net of earnings and such
reasonable fees and expenses, shall be charged against the principal amount
invested. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any loss resulting from
any investment made by it under this Indenture in accordance with instructions
from the Lessee or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, other than by reason
of its willful misconduct or gross negligence, in
- 29 -
which case the Indenture Trustee will be liable in its individual capacity only,
and any such investment may be sold (without regard to its maturity) by the
Indenture Trustee without instructions whenever the Indenture Trustee reasonably
believes such sale is necessary to make a distribution required by this
Indenture.
Unless otherwise stated in writing as set forth below, an account statement
delivered by the Indenture Trustee to the Owner Trustee (with a copy to the
Lessee) shall be deemed written confirmation by the Owner Trustee that the
investment transactions identified therein accurately reflect the investment
directions given to the Indenture Trustee by or on behalf of the Owner Trustee,
unless the Owner Trustee (or the Lessee on its behalf) notifies the Indenture
Trustee in writing to the contrary within 30 days of the date of receipt of such
statement.
SECTION 5.09. Withholding Taxes. The Indenture Trustee shall withhold any
-----------------
taxes required to be withheld on payments to any Holder who is not a United
States person except to the extent that such Holder has furnished evidence
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee of any exemption from withholding claimed
by such Holder. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor Owner Trustee nor the Owner
Participant shall have any obligation to make any additional payment to cover
such withholding. Such withholding and failure to make any additional payment
based thereon shall not constitute an Indenture Event of Default.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Sections 5.01 through 5.05
hereof and subject to Section 6(b) of the Participation Agreement, if the Lessee
is required to pay any such withholding tax imposed on payments made by or on
behalf of the Owner Trustee to the Indenture Trustee, or any interest or penalty
thereon, or to indemnify the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee with respect
thereto pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Participation Agreement, the Lessee
shall, after such payment or reimbursement by it, have a claim against any
Holder who was subject to such withholding tax for the amount of such
withholding tax. After such payment or reimbursement by it, the Lessee shall be
entitled to receive, and the Indenture Trustee shall hold for the account of the
Lessee, any payments otherwise distributable to the Holder who was subject to
such withholding tax pursuant to Sections 5.01 through 5.05 hereof until the
foregoing amounts (to the extent recoverable from such Holder pursuant to the
express provisions of Section 6(b) of the Participation Agreement) (the
"Recoverable Amounts") shall have been recovered in full by the Lessee. In no
event will the recoupment described in the preceding sentence result in a
reduction in payments otherwise distributable to such Holder by more than the
Recoverable Amounts.

that is the responsibility of Lessee under the Indenture Documents), and as
a result thereof the Lien of this Indenture shall cease to be a valid first
priority perfected Lien on the Indenture Estate.
SECTION 7.02. Remedies. (a) If an Indenture Event of Default shall
--------
have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case, the Indenture
Trustee may, and when required by the provisions of Article IX or Section
7.02(c) hereof, shall, (i) exercise any or all of the rights and powers and
pursue any or all of the remedies pursuant to this Article VII and (ii) in the
event such Indenture Event of Default is an Indenture Event of Default referred
to in paragraph (a) of Section 7.01 hereof, but subject to the provisions of
Section 8.03 hereof, and after the expiration of ten days from the time the
Indenture Trustee notifies the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant that it
intends to exercise its remedies (including acceleration of the Certificates)
hereunder, exercise any or all of the remedies pursuant to Section 15 of the
Lease, and the Indenture Trustee may take possession of all or any part of the
properties covered or intended to be covered by the Lien and security interest
created hereby or pursuant hereto and may exclude the Owner Participant, the
Owner Trustee and the Lessee and all persons claiming under any of them wholly
or partly therefrom. In addition, the Indenture Trustee may exercise any
- 36 -
other right or remedy in lieu of or in addition to the foregoing that may be
available to it under applicable law, or proceed by appropriate court action to
enforce the terms hereof, of the Lease, or both, or to terminate or rescind the
Lease. Without limiting any of the foregoing, but subject to any conditions
provided for herein or under applicable law, it is understood and agreed that
the Indenture Trustee may exercise any right of sale of the Aircraft available
to it, even though it shall not have taken possession of the Aircraft and shall
not have possession thereof at the time of such sale. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any remedy
hereunder as a result of an Indenture Event of Default occurring solely by
reason of one or more Lease Events of Default unless the Indenture Trustee shall
have declared the Lease to be in default in accordance with Section 15 thereof
and shall be attempting in good faith to exercise one or more of the remedies
referred to in Section 15 of the Lease; provided, however, that such requirement
------------------
to attempt in good faith to exercise one or more of such remedies under the
Lease shall not apply in circumstances where the Indenture Trustee is, and has
been for a continuous period in excess of 60 days or such other period as may be
specified in Section 1110(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code (such 60-day or other
period being the "Section 1110 Period"), involuntarily stayed or prohibited by
applicable law or court order from exercising such remedies under the Lease (a
"Continuous Stay Period"); provided, further, however, that the requirement to
attempt in good faith to exercise one or more of such remedies under the Lease
shall nonetheless be applicable during a Continuous Stay Period subsequent to
the expiration of the Section 1110 Period to the extent that the continuation of
such Continuous Stay Period subsequent to the expiration of the Section 1110
Period (A) results from an agreement by the Lessee during the Section 1110
Period with the approval of the relevant court to perform the Lease in
accordance with Section 1110(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or (B) is an extension of
the Section 1110 Period with the consent of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (C) results from the Lessee's
assumption during the Section 1110 Period with the approval of the relevant
court of the Lease pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or (D) is the
consequence of the Indenture Trustee's own failure to give any requisite notice
to any Person or (E) is pursuant to a judicial stay pending the resolution of
litigation with respect to the applicability of Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy
Code and there is either no Lease Event of Default other than one arising solely
from the Lessee's bankruptcy or any such other Lease Event of Default has been
cured; provided, further, however, that the requirement to attempt in good faith
--------- -------- --------
to exercise one or more of such remedies under the Lease during a Continuous
Stay Period subsequent to the expiration of the Section 1110 Period based upon a
judicial stay as provided for in this clause (E) shall in any event cease to be
applicable subsequent to the 120th day of such Continuous Stay Period; it being
understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee may take such action and
commence such processes as it may determine are necessary or advisable to
foreclose on the
- 37 -
Lien of this Indenture but all such actions and processes shall, during such
period, not be completed to effect a foreclosure. If the Indenture Trustee shall
acquire the Aircraft pursuant to a foreclosure under this Indenture while such
stay is still in effect and consummates a resale of the Aircraft within six
months of such acquisition, the net proceeds from such resale in excess of the
amounts owed to the Holders of the Certificates will be paid to the Owner
Trustee.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 7.02(c) hereof, if an Indenture Event of
Default referred to in clause (g), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 hereof shall have
occurred, or a Lease Event of Default referred to in clause (f), (g) or (h) of
Section 14 of the Lease shall have occurred, then and in every such case the
unpaid principal of all Outstanding Certificates, together with interest accrued
but unpaid thereon and all other amounts due thereunder and hereunder, but
without premium, shall immediately and without further act become due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby
waived.
(c) If any Indenture Event of Default not described in the preceding
paragraph (b) shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such
case, the Indenture Trustee may on its own accord or at the direction of Holders
of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Certificates,
at any time, by written notice or notices to the Owner Trustee and the Lessee,
declare the principal of all the Certificates to be due and payable, whereupon
the unpaid principal of all Outstanding Certificates, together with accrued but
unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due thereunder, but without
premium (except to the extent a premium was theretofore payable by virtue of
Section 6.02(B), 6.02(C) (with respect to Section 8.02(a)(i)), 6.02(D) or
6.02(E)), shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand,
protest or other notice, all of which are hereby waived. At any time after such
declaration and prior to the sale or disposition of the Indenture Estate,
however, a Majority in Interest of Certificate Holders, by notice to the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Lessee, may rescind such
declaration, whether made by the Indenture Trustee on its own accord or as
directed, if (x) there has been paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a
sum sufficient to pay all overdue installments of interest on all Certificates
(together, to the extent permitted by law, with interest on such overdue
installments of interest), the principal on any Certificates that has become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, all sums paid or advanced by
the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, or
(y) all Indenture Events of Default (other than the nonpayment of principal that
has become due solely because of such acceleration) have been either cured or
waived as provided in Section 7.11. No such rescission shall affect any
subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
- 38 -
(d) Each Holder shall be entitled, at any sale pursuant to Section 15
of the Lease, to a credit against any purchase price bid at such sale by such
Holder for all or any part of the unpaid obligations owing to such Holder and
secured by the Lien of this Indenture.
SECTION 7.03. Return of Aircraft, etc. Subject to Section 7.02: (a)
------------------------
If an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the
request of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee shall promptly execute and
deliver to the Indenture Trustee such instruments of title and other documents
as the Indenture Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to enable the Indenture
Trustee or an agent or representative designated by the Indenture Trustee, at
such time or times and place or places as the Indenture Trustee may specify, to
obtain possession of all or any part of the Indenture Estate to which the
Indenture Trustee shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If the Owner Trustee
shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents
after such request by the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may (i)
obtain a judgment conferring on the Indenture Trustee the right to immediate
possession and requiring the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver such
instruments and documents to the Indenture Trustee, to the entry of which
judgment the Owner Trustee hereby specifically consents, and (ii) pursue all or
part of the Indenture Estate wherever such Indenture Estate may be found and
may, in the name of the Owner Trustee or otherwise, enter any of the premises of
the Lessee and search for and take possession of and remove the Indenture
Estate. All expenses of obtaining such judgment or of pursuing, searching for
and taking such property shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this
Indenture.
(b) Upon every such taking of possession or title, the Indenture
Trustee may, from time to time, at the expense of the Indenture Estate, make all
such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements,
alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Indenture Estate, as it
may deem proper. In each such case, the Indenture Trustee shall have the right
to maintain, use, operate, store, lease, control or manage the Indenture Estate
and to carry on the business and, without limiting the express provisions of
Section 8.01 hereof, to exercise all rights and powers of the Owner Participant
and the Owner Trustee relating to the Indenture Estate, as the Indenture Trustee
shall deem necessary or appropriate, including the right to enter into any and
all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, insurance, use, operation,
storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of the Indenture Estate or
any part thereof as the Indenture Trustee may determine; and, except for
Excepted Payments (other than Excepted Payments payable to the Indenture
Trustee), the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to collect and receive
directly all rents (including Rent), revenues, issues, income, products and
profits of the Indenture Estate and every part thereof without prejudice to the
right of the Indenture Trustee under any provision hereof to collect and receive
all cash
- 39 -
held by, or required to be deposited with, the Indenture Trustee hereunder. Such
rents (including Rent), revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be
applied to pay the expenses of the use, operation, storage, leasing, control,
management or disposition of the Indenture Estate and of conducting the business
thereof, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions
and improvements, and to make all payments which the Indenture Trustee may be
required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance or
other proper charges upon the Indenture Estate or any part thereof (including
the employment of engineers and accountants to examine, inspect and make reports
upon the properties and books and records of the Owner Trustee), and all other
payments which the Indenture Trustee may be required or authorized to make under
any provision of this Indenture, as well as just and reasonable compensation for
the services of the Indenture Trustee, and of all persons properly engaged and
employed by the Indenture Trustee.
(c) If an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to exercise remedies
hereunder, and subject to Article VIII hereof, the Indenture Trustee, either
with or without taking possession, and either before or after taking possession,
and without instituting any legal proceedings whatsoever, may sell, assign,
transfer and deliver the whole or, from time to time, to the extent permitted by
law, any part of the Indenture Estate, or any part thereof, or interest therein,
at any private sale or public auction, with or without demand, advertisement or
notice, except as expressly provided for below in this Section 7.03(c), for cash
or credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery, and for such
price or prices and on such terms as the Indenture Trustee in its sole
discretion may determine; provided, that any such action shall be at the time
--------
lawful and that all mandatory legal requirements shall be complied with. The
Indenture Trustee shall give the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the
Lessee at least 20 days' notice of any public or private sale. Such notice, in
the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place fixed for such sale.
Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary
business hours as the Indenture Trustee shall fix in the notice of such sale. At
any such sale, the Indenture Estate may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in
separate lots. The Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale
pursuant to such notice. The Indenture Trustee may, without notice or
publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be
adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such
sale, and any such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may
be so adjourned without further notice or publication; provided however, that if
-----------------
more than 3 months have elapsed since the most recent notice of any such sale,
the Indenture Trustee shall adjourn such sale and the Indenture Trustee shall
give notice to the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant of the time and place
fixed for the next subsequent sale at least 10 days prior thereto. The Indenture
Trustee may
- 40 -
exercise such right of sale without possession or production of the Certificates
or proof of ownership thereof, and as representative of the Holders may exercise
such right without notice to the Holders or without including the Holders as
parties to any suit or proceedings relating to the foreclosure of any part of
the Indenture Estate. The Owner Trustee shall execute any and all such bills of
sale, assignments and other documents, and perform and do all other acts and
things requested by the Indenture Trustee in order to permit consummation of any
sale of the Indenture Estate in accordance with this Section 7.03(c) and to
effectuate the transfer or conveyance referred to in the first sentence of this
Section 7.03(c). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the
Indenture Trustee shall not sell the Indenture Estate or any part thereof unless
the Certificates shall have been accelerated or shall have matured.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Indenture Trustee
or any Holder may be a purchaser of the Indenture Estate or any part thereof or
any interest therein at any sale thereof, whether pursuant to foreclosure or
power of sale or otherwise. The Indenture Trustee may apply against the purchase
price therefor the amount then due hereunder or under any of the Certificates
secured hereby and any Holder may apply against the purchase price therefor the
amount then due to it hereunder, under any other Indenture Document or under the
Certificates held by such Holder to the extent that such portion of the purchase
price as it would have received had it been entitled to share any distribution
thereof. The Indenture Trustee or any Holder or nominee thereof shall, upon any
such purchase, acquire good title to the property so purchased, free of the Lien
of this Indenture and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, free of all
rights of redemption in the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant in respect of
the property so purchased.
(e) Subject to Article VIII hereof and if an Indenture Event of
Default is continuing, the Owner Trustee hereby irrevocably appoints and
constitutes the Indenture Trustee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the
Owner Trustee in its name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of
effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery for the enforcement of
the Lien of this Indenture, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale or
otherwise, to execute and deliver all such bills of sale, assignments and other
instruments as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or appropriate, with
full power of substitution, and Owner Trustee hereby ratifies and confirms all
that such attorney or any substitute shall lawfully do by virtue hereof.
Nevertheless, if so requested by the Indenture Trustee or any purchaser, the
Owner Trustee shall ratify and confirm any such sale, assignment, transfer or
delivery, by executing and delivering to the Indenture Trustee or such purchaser
all bills of sale, assignments, releases and other proper instruments to effect
such ratification and confirmation as may be designated in any such request.
- 41 -
(f) The Indenture Trustee shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to
the appointment of a receiver (who may be the Indenture Trustee or any successor
or nominee) for all or any part of the Indenture Estate, whether such
receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Indenture Estate or the
taking of possession thereof or otherwise, and the Owner Trustee hereby consents
to the appointment of such receiver and will not oppose any such appointment.
Any receiver appointed for all or any part of the Indenture Estate shall be
entitled to exercise all of the rights and powers of the Indenture Trustee with
respect to the Indenture Estate.
(g) Any sale of the Indenture Estate or any part thereof or any
interest therein, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale or otherwise
hereunder, shall be a perpetual bar against the Owner Trustee after the
expiration of the period, if any, during which the Owner Trustee shall have the
benefit of redemption laws which may not be waived pursuant to Section 7.13
hereof.
SECTION 7.04. Indenture Trustee May Prove Debt. If the Owner Trustee
--------------------------------
shall fail to pay any amount payable hereunder or under the Certificates, the
Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be
entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in
equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any
such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such
judgment or final decree against the Owner Trustee and collect in the manner
provided by law out of the property of the Owner Trustee wherever situated, the
moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable; provided, that any sale of any portion
---------
of the Indenture Estate shall be done in accordance with Section 7.03(c).
In case there shall be pending proceedings relative to the Trust Estate or
the Owner Trustee under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver,
assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or
similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Trust
Estate or the Owner Trustee or its property, or in case of any other comparable
judicial proceedings relative to the Trust Estate or the Owner Trustee, or to
the creditors or property of the Trust Estate or the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Certificates
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any
demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of
principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Certificates, and
to file such other papers or
- 42 -
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to
the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their
respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of the
Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a
result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders allowed in any
judicial proceedings relative to the Owner Trustee or to the creditors or
property of the Owner Trustee,
(b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on
behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in
arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable
proceedings, and
(c) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with
respect to the claims of the Holders and of the Indenture Trustee on their
behalf;
and any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is
hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make payments to the Indenture
Trustee, and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the
making of payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such
amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture
Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents,
attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all
advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee
except as a result of negligence or bad faith.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee
to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Certificates or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize
the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in
bankruptcy or similar person.
All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under
any of the Certificates, may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee
without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in
any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or
proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name
as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the
payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture
Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and
attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders.
- 43 -
In any proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any
proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to
which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party) the Indenture Trustee shall be
held to represent all the Holders of the Certificates, and it shall not be
necessary to make any Holders parties to any such proceedings.
SECTION 7.05. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy
-------------------
given to the Indenture Trustee or Holders specifically or otherwise in this
Indenture shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right,
power and remedy specifically given herein or now or hereafter existing at law,
in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether
specifically given herein or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to
time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Indenture
Trustee or the Holders, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any
power or remedy shall not constitute or 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 the Indenture Trustee or of any Holder in the exercise of
any right, remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any
such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the
part of the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or the Lessee or to be an
acquiescence therein.
SECTION 7.06. Suits for Enforcement. If an Indenture Event of Default has
---------------------
occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may in
its discretion and subject to its rights of appropriate indemnification under
Sections 7.08 and 9.03 and Article XI hereof proceed to protect and enforce its
rights and rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the
Indenture Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such
rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for
the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this
Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture or to
enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee or
the Holders by this Indenture or by law; provided, that any sale of any portion
--------
of the Indenture Estate shall be done in accordance with Section 7.03(c).
SECTION 7.07. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Indenture
-----------------------------
Trustee or any Holder shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right,
power or remedy under this Indenture by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and
such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or
shall have been finally determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or such
Holder, then and in every such case the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee,
the Holders and the Lessee shall, subject to any such determination in such
proceeding, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with
respect to the Indenture Estate, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
- 44 -
Indenture Trustee and the Holders shall continue as if no such proceeding had
been instituted.
SECTION 7.08. Limitations on Suits by Holders. No Holder of any
-------------------------------
Certificate shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of
this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in
bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for
the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar
official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall
have given to the Indenture Trustee written notice of an Indenture Default and
of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and the Holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Certificates shall
have made written request upon the Indenture Trustee to institute such action or
proceedings in its own name or as trustee hereunder and shall have offered to
the Indenture Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the
Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceedings
and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to
the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 7.10; it being understood and
intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of each Certificate with
every other Holder of each other Certificate and the Indenture Trustee, that no
one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder or the Lien of this
Indenture or any part of the Indenture Estate or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right
under this Indenture, except in the manner provided herein and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all Holders. For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section, each and every Holder and the Indenture Trustee
shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
SECTION 7.09. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal,
----------------------------------------------------
Interest and Premium, and to Institute Certain Suits. Notwithstanding any other
----------------------------------------------------
provision in this Indenture and any provision of any Certificate, the right of
any Holder to receive payment of the principal of and interest and premium (if
any) on such Certificate on or after the respective due dates and in the manner
expressed in such Certificate, or, subject to Section 7.08, to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates as
provided herein, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
Holder.
SECTION 7.10. Control by Holders. A Majority in Interest of Certificate
------------------
Holders shall have the right to direct the Indenture Trustee as to the time,
method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture
Trustee by this Indenture; provided that such direction shall not be
--------
- 45 -
otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture and
the Indenture Trustee shall have received, to the extent provided in Sections
7.08 and 9.03 and Article XI hereof, such reasonable indemnification as it may
require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred by the
Indenture Trustee and provided further that (subject to the provisions of
----------------
Section 9.02) the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow
any such direction if the Indenture Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall
determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or
if the Indenture Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, the executive
committee, or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the
Indenture Trustee shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed
would impose upon the Indenture Trustee personal liability or if the Indenture
Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forbearances
specified in or pursuant to such direction shall be unduly prejudicial to the
interests of Holders not joining in the giving of said direction, it being
understood that (subject to Section 9.02) the Indenture Trustee shall have no
duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly
prejudicial to such Holders.
Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Indenture Trustee
in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee and
which is not inconsistent with such direction by Holders.
SECTION 7.11. Waiver of Past Indenture Defaults. Upon written
---------------------------------
instructions from a Majority in Interest of Certificate Holders, the Indenture
Trustee shall waive any past Indenture Default and its consequences and upon any
such waiver such Indenture Default shall cease to exist and any Indenture
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose
of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Indenture Default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided, however,
------------------
that in the absence of written instructions from all Holders, the Indenture
Trustee shall not waive any Indenture Default (i) in the payment of the
principal of, or premium (if any) or interest on, or other amounts due under,
any Certificate then Outstanding, or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision
hereof which, under Article XIII hereof, cannot be modified or amended without
the consent of each Holder and provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee
------------------
shall not waive any Indenture Default to the extent arising under Section
7.01(a) hereof because of the failure of the Lessee to pay any Excepted Payments
without the consent of the Owner Participant, or in the case of an Excepted
Payment owing to the Trust Company or the Indenture Trustee such party, and
shall waive any such Indenture Default upon the express written instructions of
the Owner Participant, or in the case of an Excepted Payment owing to the Trust
Company or the Indenture Trustee, such party, unless the Indenture Trustee or
the Holders would be adversely affected by such waiver.
- 46 -
SECTION 7.12. Notice of Indenture Defaults. The Indenture Trustee shall
----------------------------
transmit to the Owner Trustee, the Holders and to the Owner Participant notice
of all Indenture Defaults actually known to a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee, such notice to be transmitted by mail to the Holders within
90 days, and to the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant promptly (within one
Business Day after a failure to pay Basic Rent), after the occurrence thereof,
unless such Indenture Default shall have been cured before the giving of such
notice; provided that under no circumstances shall the Indenture Trustee give
--------
such notice to the Holders until the earlier of the time at which such Indenture
Default becomes an Indenture Event of Default or the expiration of a period of
60 days from the occurrence of such Indenture Default; and provided further
----------------
that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of or
interest on or any other amount due under any of the Certificates, the Indenture
Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice to the Holders if and so
long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of
directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers of the Indenture Trustee in
good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of
the Holders.
SECTION 7.13. Waiver of Appraisement, etc.; Laws. The Owner Trustee
----------------------------------
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any
time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or
redemption law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in order
to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Indenture or the execution of any
power granted herein to the Indenture Trustee, or the absolute sale of the
Indenture Estate, or any part thereof, or the possession thereof by any
purchaser at any sale under this Article VII; and the Owner Trustee for itself
and all who may claim under it, so far as it or any of them now or hereafter
lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws. The Owner Trustee for
itself and all who may claim under it waives, to the extent that it lawfully
may, all right to have the property in the Indenture Estate marshalled upon any
foreclosure hereof, and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose
this Indenture may order the sale of the Indenture Estate as an entirety.
If any law referred to in this Section 7.13 and now in force, of which the
Owner Trustee or its successors might take advantage despite this Section 7.13,
shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not
thereafter be deemed to constitute any part of the contract herein contained or
to preclude the application of this Section 7.13.

(d) at all times and whether or not an Indenture Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, each of the Owner Trustee, the Trust Company
and the Owner Participant shall have the right, to the exclusion of the
Indenture Trustee, to demand, collect, xxx for or otherwise receive and
enforce the payment of Excepted Payments due and payable to it and, unless
the Lien of this Indenture shall have been foreclosed upon, to grant or
withhold its consent to amendments or supplements to Indenture Documents

(e) at all times prior to the foreclosure of the Liens of this

11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20 or 21 of the Lease, or any other section of

of, any such other section would, directly or indirectly, affect the amount
or timing of any amounts payable by the Lessee under the Lease (as such
Lease may have been modified with the consent of the Owner Trustee) which
amounts, absent the occurrence and continuance of an Indenture Event of
Default, will be distributable to the Owner Trustee hereunder).
SECTION 8.02. Owner Participant's Right to Elect to Redeem or Purchase the
------------------------------------------------------------
Certificates, and to Provide for Payment. (a) If at any time after a Lease
----------------------------------------
Event of Default has occurred and has continued for a period of (i) not more
than 180 days or (ii) at least 180 days, and provided that (A) no Indenture
Event of Default (that does not arise out of a Lease Event of Default) has
occurred and is continuing and (B) the Certificates shall not have become due
and payable as provided in Section 7.02(b) or 7.02(c) hereof, the Owner
Participant may, but shall be under no obligation to, direct the Owner Trustee
to cause the redemption or
- 49 -
purchase of all but not less than all of the Certificates then Outstanding by
notifying the Indenture Trustee of such election, which notice in order to be
effective shall state that it is irrevocable and shall designate the Redemption
Date on which the Owner Trustee shall, in the manner provided for in Section
6.04 hereof, deposit with the Indenture Trustee the sum of the amounts
contemplated by paragraph "first" under Section 5.03 plus (x) in the case of a
-------
redemption or purchase pursuant to clause (a)(i) above the aggregate Redemption
Amount of all the Certificates plus interest thereon accrued to, but excluding,
the Redemption Date or (y) in the case of a redemption or purchase pursuant to
clause (a)(ii) above the aggregate Redemption Price of all the Certificates. The
Indenture Trustee shall notify each Holder of such redemption or purchase in the
manner provided for in Section 6.03 hereof.
(b) At any time while the Certificates shall have become due and
payable as provided in Section 7.02(b) or 7.02(c) hereof, the Owner Participant
may, but shall be under no obligation to, direct the Owner Trustee to pay to the
Indenture Trustee for distribution to the Holders in the manner provided for in
Section 5.01 hereof an amount equal to the sum of (i) amounts contemplated by
paragraph "first" under Section 5.03, (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal amount
-------
of all Outstanding Certificates, (iii) all accrued but unpaid interest thereon
to the date of payment and (iv) all other amounts due thereunder, but without
premium. The Owner Trustee shall give written notice of such payment to the
Indenture Trustee, which notice, in order to be effective, shall state that it
is irrevocable and shall designate a date not more than fourteen days thereafter
as the payment date. The Owner Trustee may in such notice elect to treat such
payment as a purchase of the Certificates by the Owner Participant. The
Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify each Holder of an Outstanding
Certificate of such payment. In the event of a redemption, (i) the Certificates
shall cease to accrue interest after the later of (1) such payment by the Owner
Trustee to the Indenture Trustee and (2) the Redemption Date; and (ii) after
distribution of such payment to the Holders, the Indenture Trustee shall release
the Indenture Estate from the Lien of this Indenture.
(c) In the event of a redemption, from and after the payment by the
Owner Trustee to the Indenture Trustee of the amount specified in Section
8.02(a) or 8.02(b), as the case may be, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to
exercise all remedies of the Indenture Trustee under Article VII hereof as well
as of the Lessor under the Lease.
(d) If the Owner Trustee elects to purchase the Certificates under
Section 8.02(a) or (b) hereof, (i) nothing herein, including use of the terms
"Redemption Amount", "Redemption Price" and "Redemption Date" shall be deemed to
result in a redemption of the Certificates so purchased and (ii) no Holder shall
be liable to the Owner Trustee or Owner Participant
- 50 -
as a result of such purchase except to the extent such Holder would have been
liable if such purchase had been a redemption.
SECTION 8.03. Certain Rights of Owner Participant. If the Lessee shall
-----------------------------------
fail to make any payment of Basic Rent under the Lease within ten Business Days
after the same shall become due, and if such failure of the Lessee to make such
payment of Basic Rent shall not constitute the fourth or subsequent consecutive
such failure or the seventh or subsequent cumulative such failure, then as long
as no Indenture Event of Default (other than arising from such failure to pay
Basic Rent or any other Lease Event of Default) shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee may (but need not) pay to
the Indenture Trustee, at any time prior to the expiration of a period of 15
days after the expiration of ten Business Days after notice from the Indenture
Trustee to the Owner Trustee of such failure of Lessee to make payment of Basic
Rent (the "15-Day Period") (prior to the expiration of which 15-Day Period the
Indenture Trustee shall not declare the Lease in default pursuant to Section 15
thereof or exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies pursuant to such
Section 15 or Article VII hereof based solely on such failure to pay Basic
Rent), an amount equal to the full amount of such payment of Basic Rent,
together with any interest due thereon on account of the delayed payment
thereof, and such payment by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee shall be
deemed to cure any Indenture Event of Default which arose solely from such
failure of the Lessee to make a payment of Basic Rent (including the failure of
Lessee to pay such interest in respect of the delayed payment of Basic Rent from
and after the date the cure payment is made) (but such cure shall not relieve
the Lessee of any of its obligations). If the Lessee shall fail to perform or
observe any other covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed
by it under the Lease, and if (but only if) the performance or observance
thereof can be effected by the payment of money alone (it being understood that
actions such as the obtaining of insurance and the procurement of maintenance
services can be so effected), then as long as no other Indenture Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other than arising solely from
such failure by the Lessee which is being cured hereunder or from any other
Lease Event of Default), the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee may (but
need not) pay to the Indenture Trustee (or to such other person as may be
entitled to receive the same), at any time prior to the expiration of a period
of 15 days after (i) in the case of a Lease Event of Default the grace period
for which was commenced by notice from the Holders or the Indenture Trustee,
receipt by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant of notice of such Lease
Event of Default, and (ii) in the case of any other Lease Event of Default, the
expiration of the grace period, if any, provided with respect to such failure on
the part of the Lessee in Section 14 of the Lease (prior to the expiration of
which 15-day period or, in the case of a Recently Cured Default (as defined
below), a five Business Day period in lieu thereof, the Indenture Trustee shall
not declare the Lease in default pursuant to Section 15 thereof or exercise any
of the rights,
- 51 -
powers or remedies pursuant to such Section 15 or Article VII hereof based
solely on such failure by the Lessee), all sums necessary to effect the
performance or observance of such covenant or agreement of the Lessee, together
with any interest due thereon on account of the delayed payment thereof, and
such payment by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to
cure any Indenture Event of Default which arose solely from such failure of the
Lessee (but such cure shall not relieve the Lessee of any of its obligations);
provided, however, that if the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant cures a
------------------
Lease Default or Lease Event of Default under Section 14(d) or 14(i) of the
Lease at any time prior to the earliest of any of a termination of the Lease, a
payment to the Indenture Trustee of any amount in excess of the amount then
overdue with respect to the Certificates (other than as a result of
acceleration) and a sale of any part of the Indenture Estate pursuant to Article
VII hereof, then upon such cure, if no other Indenture Event of Default shall be
continuing, any acceleration of the Certificates pursuant to Section 7.02(b) or
(c) hereof based solely on such cured Lease Default or Lease Event of Default
shall be automatically rescinded; provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee
agrees that it shall give the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant not less
than 10 days notice prior to termination of the Lease following acceleration
where the immediately preceding proviso would otherwise be in effect. Upon any
payment of Basic Rent by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee in
accordance with the first sentence of this Section 8.03, or upon any payment of
any other sums by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee in accordance with
the second sentence of this Section 8.03, the Owner Participant or the Owner
Trustee shall, to the extent of their respective payments, be subrogated, in the
case of any such payment in accordance with such first sentence, to the rights
of the Indenture Trustee, as assignee hereunder of the Owner Trustee, or, in the
case of any such payment in accordance with such second sentence, to the rights
of the Indenture Trustee or such other person, as the case may be, which
actually received such payment, to receive such payment of Basic Rent or such
other payment, as the case may be (and any interest due thereon on account of
the delayed payment thereof), and shall be entitled to receive such payment upon
its receipt by the Indenture Trustee or such other person, as aforesaid (but in
each case only after all amounts of principal of, premium, if any, and interest
at the time due and payable on, or with respect to, the Certificates, together
with interest thereon on account of the delayed payment thereof shall have been
paid in full); provided that neither the Owner Participant nor the Owner Trustee
--------
shall attempt to recover any such amount paid by it on behalf of the Lessee
pursuant to this Section 8.03 except (i) by demanding of the Lessee payment of
such amount, (ii) by commencing an action against the Lessee to require the
payment of such amount pursuant to Section 15(e), but only said Section 15(e),
of the Lease or (iii) by realizing on a security interest in assets of the
Lessee (the fair market value of the security interest in such assets not to
exceed 110% of the amount so paid) to secure Lessee's reimbursement obligation
of such payment or by
- 52 -
commencing an action at law and obtaining and enforcing a judgment against the
Lessee for the payment of such amount; and provided further that at no time
----------------
while an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing shall
any such demand be made or shall any such action be commenced (or continued) or
any collateral security taken be realized upon, and any amounts nevertheless
received by the Owner Trustee or Owner Participant in respect thereof shall be
held in trust for the benefit of, and promptly paid to, the Indenture Trustee
for distribution as provided in Section 5.03 hereof. A "Recently Cured Failure"
means any failure by the Lessee which constitutes a Lease Event of Default under
Section 14(d) or 14(i) of the Lease if (i) within the preceding 12 month period
there shall have occurred a Lease Event of Default under the same Section of the
Lease and (ii) such Lease Event of Default referred to in clause (i) was cured
by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee later than during the 15-Day
period (or 5 Business Day period, as the case may be) after such failure became
a Lease Event of Default, which cure has lapsed without the Lessee then
performing its obligation to which the cured failure related.
ARTICLE IX
CONCERNING THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
SECTION 9.01. Acceptance of Trusts. The Indenture Trustee hereby accepts
--------------------
the trusts imposed upon it by this Indenture, and covenants and agrees to
perform the same as expressed herein and agrees to receive and disburse all
moneys constituting part of the Indenture Estate in accordance with the terms
hereof.
SECTION 9.02. Duties and Responsibilities of the Indenture Trustee; During
------------------------------------------------------------
an Indenture Default; Prior to an Indenture Default. (a) The Indenture Trustee,
---------------------------------------------------
prior to the occurrence of an Indenture Event of Default and after the curing or
waiving of all Indenture Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes
to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in
this Indenture. In case an Indenture Event of Default has occurred (which has
not been cured or waived) the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.
No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i) prior to the occurrence of an Indenture Event of Default and
after the curing or waiving of all Indenture Events of Default which may
have occurred:
- 53 -
(x) the duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and
(y) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Indenture
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth
of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any statements, certificates or opinions furnished to
the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture; but in the case of any such statements, certificates or
opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be
furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall be
under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they
conform to the requirements of this Indenture;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Indenture Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the
Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of a Majority in Interest of Certificate Holders relating to the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Indenture.
None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the
Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if the Indenture Trustee shall have determined
in good faith that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such liability is not reasonably assured to it.
The Indenture Trustee will execute and the Owner Trustee will file or cause
to be filed such continuation statements with respect to financing statements
relating to the security interest created hereunder in the Indenture Estate as
may be specified from time to time in written instructions of the Holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Certificates (which
instructions may, by their terms, be operative only at a future date and which
shall be accompanied by the execution form of such continuation statement so to
be filed); provided that,
--------
- 54 -
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee may execute and file or
cause to be filed any financing statement which it from time to time deems
appropriate.
(b) If any Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and Section 8.03 hereof shall either not apply or shall have ceased to apply
with respect thereto, on request of the Holders of not less than 25% in
aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Certificates and subject to
indemnification, to the extent provided in Sections 7.08 and 9.03 and Article XI
hereof, as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such remedies under Section 15 of
the Lease as shall be specified in such request.
(c) The Indenture Trustee agrees that it will, in its individual capacity
and at its own cost and expense (but without any right of indemnity in respect
of any such cost or expense under Article XI hereof) promptly take such action
as may be necessary to duly discharge all Liens on any part of the Indenture
Estate which result from claims against it in its individual capacity not
related to the administration of the Indenture Estate or any other transaction
pursuant to this Indenture or any document included in the Indenture Estate.
(d) The Indenture Trustee will execute and deliver to the Lessee for
filing in accordance with Section 18 of the Lease any properly presented
document, instrument or financing or continuation statement specified in any
opinion delivered pursuant to Section 12 of the Participation Agreement. The
Indenture Trustee may rely on the act of presentation of any such document,
instrument, financing or continuation statement as evidencing the fact that it
is properly prepared and presented, provided that the Indenture Trustee shall
--------
promptly correct any error in any such document, instrument, financing or
continuation statement of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee
has actual knowledge.
SECTION 9.03. Certain Rights of the Indenture Trustee. Subject to Section
---------------------------------------
9.02:
(a) the Indenture Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting
or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate or any
other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security 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, order or demand of the Owner Trustee
mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers'
Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein
specifically prescribed) upon
- 55 -
which the Indenture Trustee may rely to prove or establish a matter set
forth therein;
(c) the Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or
Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection
in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of
Counsel;
(d) the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request,
order or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby;

ARTICLE X
CONCERNING THE HOLDERS
SECTION 10.01. Evidence of Action Taken by Holders. (a) Any
-----------------------------------
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing,
and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture
Trustee and, if expressly required herein, to the Owner
- 61 -
Trustee. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any
such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to
Sections 9.02 and 9.03) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the
Owner Trustee, if made in the manner provided in this Article.
(b) For the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to vote or
consent to any direction, waiver or other action of such Holders under Section
7.11 or 7.12, the Indenture Trustee may set a record date for such vote or
consent. Such record date shall be a date not more than 15 days prior to the
first solicitation of such vote or consent.
SECTION 10.02. Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of
---------------------------------------------------
Certificates. Subject to Sections 9.02 and 9.03, the execution of any
------------
instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy may be proved in accordance with
such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Indenture
Trustee. The holding of Certificates shall be proved by the Register or by a
certificate of the Registrar.
SECTION 10.03. Holders to Be Treated as Owners. Prior to due presentment
-------------------------------
for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, the
Paying Agent, if any, the Registrar and the Lessee may deem and treat the Person
in whose name such Certificate shall be registered upon the Register as the
absolute owner of such Certificate (whether or not such Certificate shall be
overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon)
for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and,
subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Certificate and
for all other purposes; and neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee
(nor any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee) nor the Paying
Agent, if any, nor the Registrar nor the Lessee shall be affected by any notice
to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such person, or upon his
order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual
to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such
Certificate.
SECTION 10.04. Certificates Owned by Owner Trustee and the Lessee Deemed
---------------------------------------------------------
Not Outstanding. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate
----------------
principal amount of Certificates have concurred in any direction, consent or
waiver under this Indenture, Certificates which are owned by the Owner Trustee,
the Owner Participant, the Lessee or by any Person directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the
Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or the Lessee shall be disregarded and
deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided
--------
that for the purpose of determining whether the Indenture Trustee shall be
protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only if a
Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has
- 62 -
actual knowledge that certain Certificates are so owned shall such Certificates
be so disregarded; and provided further that if all Certificates which would be
-------
deemed Outstanding in the absence of the foregoing provision are owned by the
Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or the Lessee or by any Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
control with the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or the Lessee, then such
Certificates shall be deemed Outstanding for the purpose of any such
determination. Certificates so owned which have been pledged in good faith may
be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the
Indenture Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such
Certificates and that the pledgee is not the Owner Trustee, the Owner
Participant or the Lessee or any Person directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Owner Trustee
or the Lessee. In case of a dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel
shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the Indenture
Trustee in accordance with such advice. Upon request of the Indenture Trustee,
the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Lessee shall furnish to the
Indenture Trustee promptly an Officers' Certificate listing and identifying all
Certificates, if any, known by the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or the
Lessee to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described
persons; and, subject to Sections 9.02 and 9.03, the Indenture Trustee shall be
entitled to accept such Officers' Certificate as conclusive evidence of the
facts set forth therein and of the fact that all Certificates not listed therein
are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.
SECTION 10.05. Right of Revocation of Action Taken. At any time prior
-----------------------------------
to (but not after) the evidencing to the Indenture Trustee, as provided in
Section 10.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in
aggregate principal amount of the Certificates specified in this Indenture in
connection with such action, any Holder of a Certificate, the serial number of
which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers of the
Certificates the Holders of which have consented to such action, may, by filing
written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as
provided in this Article, revoke such action so far as concerns such
Certificate. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners
of such Certificate and of any Certificates issued in exchange or substitution
therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made
upon any such Certificate or otherwise. Any action taken by the Holders of the
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Certificates specified in this
Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of all the Certificates.
SECTION 10.06. ERISA Plan Prohibition. No employee benefit plan subject
----------------------
to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security
- 63 -
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or individual retirement account or employee
benefit plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, (hereinafter collectively referred to as an "ERISA Plan") may acquire
or hold any of the Certificates. The purchase by any person of any Certificate
constitutes a representation by such person to the Lessee, the Owner
Participant, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee that such person is not
an ERISA Plan and that such person is not acquiring, and has not acquired, such
Certificate with assets of an ERISA Plan.

--------
shall not make any claim under this Article XI for any claim or expense
indemnified by the Lessee under the Participation Agreement without first making
demand on the Lessee for payment of such claim or expense unless the Indenture
Trustee is enjoined or is otherwise prevented by law from making such demand.
The Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to
indemnification, from the Indenture Estate, for any liability, obligation, loss,
damage, penalty, claim, action, suit, cost, expense or disbursement indemnified
against pursuant to this Article XI to the extent not reimbursed by the Lessee
or others, but without releasing any of them from their respective agreements of
reimbursement; and to secure the same the Indenture Trustee shall have a prior
Lien on the Indenture Estate. The indemnities contained in this Article XI shall
survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the
Indenture Trustee. Upon payment in full by the Owner Trustee of any indemnity
pursuant to this Article XI, the Owner Trustee shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Indenture Trustee, if any, in respect of the matter as to which the
indemnity was paid.

the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee, a Majority in Interest of
Certificate Holders, or the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the Lessee (so
long as no Lease Default is then continuing) and a Majority in Interest of
Certificate Holders may appoint a
- 65 -
successor Indenture Trustee by an instrument signed by such Holders. If a

such notice of resignation or removal, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee,
the Lessee, the Owner Participant, or any Holder may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Indenture Trustee to act until

Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a

successor trustee, which removal and appointment shall become effective upon
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 12.04.
The successor Indenture Trustee so appointed by such court shall immediately and

shall be a citizen of the United States as defined in Section 101(16) of the
Act, and shall be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers
and shall be subject to supervision of examination by Federal, State or District
of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. In case at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Indenture
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in

all rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with
like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the
written request of the Owner Trustee or of the successor trustee, upon payment
of its charges then unpaid, the trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section
14.04, pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it
hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request
of any such successor trustee, the Owner Trustee shall execute any and all
instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to
such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act
shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or
collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the

12.04 unless at the time of such acceptance such
- 67 -
successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 12.03.

Section 12.04, the successor trustee shall mail notice thereof by first-class
mail to the Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the
Register, and shall mail a copy of such notice to the Lessee and the Owner
Trustee. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with

resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust
business of the Indenture Trustee, shall be the successor to the Indenture
Trustee hereunder, provided that, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 12.03, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto.
In case at the time such successor to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed
to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Certificates shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may
adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Indenture Trustee and
deliver such Certificates so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the
Certificates shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture
Trustee may authenticate such Certificates either in the name of any predecessor
hereunder or in the name of the successor Indenture Trustee; and in all such
cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the
Certificates or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture
Trustee shall have; provided, that the right to adopt the certificate of
---------
authentication of any predecessor Indenture Trustee or to authenticate
Certificates in the name of any predecessor Indenture Trustee shall apply only
to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.
SECTION 12.06. Appointment of Separate Trustees. (a) At any time or
--------------------------------
times, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Indenture Estate may at the time be located or in which
any action of the Indenture Trustee may be required to be performed or taken,
the Indenture Trustee, by an instrument in writing signed by it, may appoint one
or more individuals or corporations to act as separate trustee or separate
trustees or co-trustee, acting jointly with the Indenture Trustee, of all or any
part of the Indenture Estate, to the full
- 68 -
extent that local law makes it necessary for such separate trustee or separate
trustees or co-trustee acting jointly with the Indenture Trustee to act.
(b) The Indenture Trustee and, at the request of the Indenture Trustee,
the Owner Trustee, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments
as may be required by the legal requirements of any jurisdiction or by any such
separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee for the purpose of more
fully confirming such title, rights or duties to such separate trustee or
separate trustees or co-trustee. Upon the acceptance in writing of such
appointment by any such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee, it,
he or they shall be vested with such title to the Indenture Estate or any part
thereof, and with such rights, powers, duties and obligations, as shall be
specified in the instrument of appointment, and such rights, powers, duties and
obligations shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the
Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or
separate trustees or co-trustee jointly with the Indenture Trustee subject to
all the terms of this Indenture, except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the
Indenture 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 separate trustee or separate trustees or co-
trustee, as the case may be. Any separate trustee or separate trustees or co-
trustee may, at any time by an instrument in writing, constitute the Indenture
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. In case any such separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the title to the Indenture
Estate and all assets, property, rights, powers, duties and obligations and
duties of such separate trustee or co-trustee shall, so far as permitted by law,
vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, without the appointment of a
successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee unless and until a successor is
appointed.
(c) All provisions of this Indenture which are for the benefit of the
Indenture Trustee (including without limitation Article XI hereof) shall extend
to and apply to each separate trustee or co-trustee appointed pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 12.06.
(d) Every additional trustee and separate trustee hereunder shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act and the Indenture Trustee
shall act, subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon
the Indenture Trustee in respect of the
- 69 -
receipt, custody, investment and payment of moneys shall be exercised
solely by the Indenture Trustee;
(ii) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred
or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed and
exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such additional trustee
or trustees and separate trustee or trustees jointly except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts
are to be performed, the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights,
powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the
Indenture Estate in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed
by such additional trustee or trustees or separate trustee or trustees;
(iii) no power hereby given to, or exercisable by, any such
additional trustee or separate trustee shall be exercised hereunder by such
additional trustee or separate trustee except jointly with, or with the
consent of, the Indenture Trustee; and
(iv) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of
any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder.
If at any time the Indenture Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or
prudent in order to conform to any such law, the Indenture Trustee shall execute
and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and all other instruments and
agreements necessary or proper to remove any additional trustee or separate
trustee.
(e) Any request, approval or consent in writing by the Indenture
Trustee to any additional trustee or separate trustee shall be sufficient
warrant to such additional trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, to
take such action as may be so requested, approved or consented to.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.06, the
powers of any additional trustee or separate trustee shall not exceed those of
the Indenture Trustee hereunder.

restrictions, conditions or provisions an Indenture Event of Default
permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided
herein; provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant,
--------
restriction, condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide
for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter
or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide
for an immediate enforcement upon such an Indenture Event of Default or may

provisions hereof or with the Lease or to
- 71 -
release from the Lien of this Indenture property that has been substituted

provided that supplements to this Indenture entered into for the purpose of
--------
subjecting Replacement Airframes or Replacement Engines to the Lien of this
Indenture need only be executed by the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee;
(g) to effect the re-registration of the Aircraft pursuant to Section
19 of the Participation Agreement; and
(h) to add, eliminate or change any provision hereunder so long as
such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders.
The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any
such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and
stipulations which may be contained therein and to accept the conveyance,
transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the
Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental
indenture which adversely affects the Indenture Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, whether in its trust or individual
capacity.
SECTION 13.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. With the
-----------------------------------------------
consent (evidenced as provided in Article X) of a Majority in Interest of
Certificate Holders, the Owner Trustee (when authorized by the Owner
Participant) and the Indenture Trustee may, from time to time and at any time,
enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in
any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that, without the
-----------------
consent of each Holder, no such amendment of or supplement to this Indenture or

under, any thereof, shall (a) modify any of the provisions of Section 7.11 or
this Section 13.02, (b) reduce the amount or extend the time of payment of any
amount owing or payable under any Certificate or reduce the interest payable on
any Certificate (except that only the consent of the Holder shall be required
for any decrease in any amounts of or the rate of interest payable on such
Certificate or any extension for the time of payment of any amount payable under
such Certificate), or alter or modify the provisions of Article V hereof with
respect to the order of priorities in which distributions thereunder shall be
made as between the Holder and the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant or
with respect to the amount or time of payment of any such distribution, or alter

hereof or in connection with the exercise of remedies under Article VII. This
Section 13.02 shall not apply to any indenture or indentures supplemental hereto
permitted by, and complying with the terms of, Section 13.06 hereof.
Upon the request of the Owner Trustee (at the direction of the Owner
Participant) and upon the filing with the Indenture Trustee of evidence of the
consent of Holders and other documents, if any, required by Section 10.01, the
Indenture Trustee shall join with the Owner Trustee in the execution of such
supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Indenture
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in
which case the Indenture Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section
to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.
Promptly after the execution by the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee
of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the
Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice thereof by first-class mail to the Holders
at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books of the Registrar,
setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any
failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
supplemental indenture.
SECTION 13.03. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of
--------------------------------
any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture
shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and
the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
under this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Lessee and
the Holders 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 indenture shall be and be deemed to be
part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.
SECTION 13.04. Documents to Be Given to Indenture Trustee. The Indenture
------------------------------------------
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 9.02

applicable provisions of this Indenture.
SECTION 13.05. Notation on Certificates in Respect of Supplemental
---------------------------------------------------
Indentures. Certificates authenticated and delivered after the execution of any
----------
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article may bear a
notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter provided for
by such supplemental indenture. If the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee
shall so determine, new Certificates so modified as to conform, in the opinion
of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, to any modification of this
Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the
Owner Trustee, authenticated by the Indenture Trustee and delivered in exchange
for the Outstanding Certificates.

--------------------------------------------------
Agreement and Trust Indenture Supplement. Notwithstanding anything contained in

requesting such action addressed to the other parties to the applicable
agreement, such modification, amendment, addition or deletion shall not
adversely affect the interests of Holders; or

The Indenture Trustee may, without the consent of any Holder, give any
consent, waiver, authorization or approval under any Indenture Document, whether

be, below the amount required to pay as and when due (i) all principal, premium
(if any) and interest payable on the Certificates and (ii) any other amounts

there are no longer any Certificates Outstanding) from the Lessee or the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall consent and evidence its consent to any
action permitted by this Section 13.07 and the Indenture Trustee shall be fully

at such address as such party shall have furnished by notice to the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, or, until an address is so furnished,
addressed to the address of such party (if any) set forth on Annex II of the
Participation Agreement or (iv) if to the Pass Through Trustee, to the address
set forth on Annex II of the Participation Agreement with a copy to the
Indenture Trustee at the address set out in clause (ii) above. Any party hereto
may change the address to which notices to such party will be sent by giving
notice of such change to the other parties to this Indenture.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise expressly provided herein) if in writing
and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder entitled thereto, at his
last address as it appears in the Register. In any case where notice to Holders
is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any
notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice
in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the person entitled to
receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with
the Indenture Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the
validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular
express delivery service, it shall be impracticable to send notice to the Owner
Trustee by express delivery service and Holders when such notice is required to
be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving
such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to
be a sufficient giving of such notice.

hereof, or if an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft is deemed to
have occurred pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 6(b) of the
Participation Agreement, at a price equal to the Redemption Amount plus all
accrued and unpaid interest on such Certificates to but excluding the
Redemption Date;
(C) if the Owner Trustee, at the direction of the Owner Participant,

Owner Trustee at any time on or before the Redemption Date except (i) in the
case of a redemption or purchase contemplated by Section 6.02(C) or Section

If an Indenture Event of Default under the Indenture shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of the Certificates may be declared due and payable in
the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides
that in certain events such declaration and its consequences may be waived by
the Holders of at least 50% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding
Certificates. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Certificate shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and
owners of this Certificate and any Certificate that may be issued in exchange or
substitution therefor, whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this
Certificate or such other Certificates. Moreover, if, and only if, a Lease Event
of Default shall occur, the Indenture Trustee may declare the Lease to be in
default, and may, to the exclusion of the Owner Trustee, exercise one or more of
the remedies of the Owner Trustee provided in the Lease.
The Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant may cure a default by the Lessee
under the Lease arising from the failure of the Lessee to make any Basic Rent
payments under the Lease if such failure of the Lessee to make such payment of
Basic Rent shall not constitute the fourth consecutive such failure or the
seventh or subsequent cumulative such failure. The Owner Trustee or the Owner
Participant may cure any other default by the Lessee in the performance of its
obligations under the Lease which can be cured by the payment of money by making
such payment on behalf of the Lessee.
At any time while the Certificates have become immediately due and payable
as provided in the Indenture, the Owner Participant may direct the Owner Trustee
to pay to the Indenture Trustee for distribution to the Holders an amount equal
to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Outstanding Certificates plus
all accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the date of payment and all other
amounts due hereunder, but without premium. Upon such payment, the Certificates
shall cease to accrue interest thereafter.
By acceptance of this Certificate, the Holder hereof waives to the fullest
extent permitted by law the benefit of the provisions of Section 1111(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code with respect to recourse against the Trust Company and the Owner
Participant on account of any amount payable as principal, premium, interest or
other amounts pursuant to this Certificate.
The right of the Holder hereof to institute action for any remedy under the
Indenture is subject to certain restrictions specified in the Indenture, except
that the right of the Holder of this Certificate to receive payment of the
principal of and interest on this Certificate on or after the respective due
dates, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, shall not
be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. So long as
any of the Certificates remain Outstanding, the Indenture Trustee will maintain
(i) an office or agency in Atlanta, Georgia where the Certificates may be
presented for payment and (ii) a facility or agency in New York, New York where
the Certificates may be presented for registration of transfer and for exchange
as provided in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to
certain limitations therein, this Certificate is transferable, and upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the principal
corporate trust office of the Indenture Trustee, or at the office or agency
maintained for such purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder or his attorney duly authorized
in writing, one or more new Certificates of the same Maturity and interest rate
and of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein,
the Certificates are exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of
Certificates of the same Maturity and interest rate and of authorized
denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same, upon
presentation thereof for such purpose at the principal corporate trust office of
the Indenture Trustee, or at an office or agency maintained for such purpose.
No service charge to the Holder shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, any agent of the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, if any, the Registrar and
the Lessee may deem and treat the person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes whether or not this
Certificate is overdue, and neither the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
(nor any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee), nor the Paying
Agent, if any, the Registrar nor the Lessee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
As provided in the Indenture, the Indenture and the Certificates shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York,
without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.
