capacity and not as trustee, agrees to compensate such holders for loss of use of funds at Debt Rate until such payment is made and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to any interest earned on such funds until such payment is made.  Any payment made hereunder shall be made without any presentment or surrender of any Equipment Note, except that, in the case of the final payment in respect of any Equipment Note, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Mortgagee for cancellation promptly after such payment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Indenture to the contrary, the Mortgagee shall not be required to make, or cause to be made, wire transfers as aforesaid prior to the first Business Day on which it is practicable for the Mortgagee to do so in view of the time of day when the funds to be so transferred were received by it if such funds were received after 12:30 PM, New York time, at the place of payment.  Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note, the Owner and the Mortgagee shall deem and treat the Person in whose name any Equipment Note is registered on the Equipment Note Register as the absolute owner and holder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Equipment Note and for all other purposes, and none of the Owner or the Mortgagee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.  So long as any signatory to the Participation Agreement or nominee thereof shall be a registered Note Holder, all payments to it shall be made to the account of such Note Holder specified in Schedule 1 thereto and otherwise in the manner provided in or pursuant to the Participation Agreement unless it shall have specified some other account or manner of payment by notice to the Mortgagee consistent with this Section 2.04.
 
(b)           The Mortgagee, as agent for the Owner, shall exclude and withhold at the appropriate rate from each payment of Original Amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and other amounts due hereunder or under each Equipment Note (and such exclusion and withholding shall constitute payment in respect of such Equipment Note) any and all United States withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by Law.  The Mortgagee agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future United States taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable hereunder or in respect of the Equipment Notes, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Note Holders, that it will file any necessary United States withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that as promptly as possible after the payment thereof it will deliver to each Note Holder (with a copy to the Owner) appropriate receipts showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as any such Note Holder may reasonably request from time to time.
 
If a Note Holder which is a Non-U.S. Person has furnished to the Mortgagee a properly completed, accurate and currently effective U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or such successor form or forms as may be required by the United States Treasury Department) during the calendar year in which the payment hereunder or under the Equipment Note(s) held by such holder is made (but prior to the making of such payment), or in either of the two preceding calendar years, and has not notified the Mortgagee of the withdrawal or inaccuracy of such form prior to the date of such payment (and the Mortgagee has no reason to believe that any information set forth in such form is inaccurate), the Mortgagee shall withhold only the amount, if any, required by Law (after taking into account any applicable exemptions properly claimed by the Note Holder) to be withheld from payments hereunder or

 
14

 
under the Equipment Notes held by such holder in respect of United States federal income tax.  If a Note Holder (x) which is a Non-U.S. Person has furnished to the Mortgagee a properly completed, accurate and currently effective U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI in duplicate (or such successor certificate, form or forms as may be required by the United States Treasury Department as necessary in order to properly avoid withholding of United States federal income tax), for each calendar year in which a payment is made (but prior to the making of any payment for such year), and has not notified the Mortgagee of the withdrawal or inaccuracy of such certificate or form prior to the date of such payment (and the Mortgagee has no reason to believe that any information set forth in such form is inaccurate) or (y) which is a U.S. Person has furnished to the Mortgagee a properly completed, accurate and currently effective U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, if applicable, prior to a payment hereunder or under the Equipment Notes held by such holder, no amount shall be withheld from payments in respect of United States federal income tax.  If any Note Holder has notified the Mortgagee that any of the foregoing forms or certificates is withdrawn or inaccurate, or if such holder has not filed a form claiming an exemption from United States withholding tax or if the Code or the regulations thereunder or the administrative interpretation thereof is at any time after the date hereof amended to require such withholding of United States federal income taxes from payments under the Equipment Notes held by such holder, the Mortgagee agrees to withhold from each payment due to the relevant Note Holder withholding taxes at the appropriate rate under Law and will, on a timely basis as more fully provided above, deposit such amounts with an authorized depository and make such returns, statements, receipts and other documentary evidence in connection therewith as required by Law.
 
Owner shall not have any liability for the failure of the Mortgagee to withhold taxes in the manner provided for herein or for any false, inaccurate or untrue evidence provided by any Note Holder hereunder.
 
SECTION 2.05.  Application of Payments
 
In the case of each Equipment Note, each payment of Original Amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest due thereon shall be applied:
 
First:  to the payment of Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Equipment Note and any other amount (other than as covered by any of the following clauses) due hereunder or under such Equipment Note;
 
Second:  to the payment of accrued interest on such Equipment Note (as well as any interest on any overdue Original Amount, any overdue Make-Whole Amount, if any, and to the extent permitted by Law, any overdue interest and any other overdue amounts thereunder) to the date of such payment;
 
Third:  to the payment of the Original Amount of such Equipment Note (or a portion thereof) then due thereunder; and
 
Fourth:  the balance, if any, remaining thereafter, to the payment of the Original Amount of such Equipment Note remaining unpaid (provided that such Equipment Note

 
15

 
shall not be subject to redemption except as provided in Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12 hereof).
 
The amounts paid pursuant to clause “Fourth” above shall be applied to the installments of Original Amount of such Equipment Note in the inverse order of their maturity.
 
SECTION 2.06.  Termination of Interest in Collateral
 
No Note Holder nor any other Indenture Indemnitee shall, as such, have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the Collateral when and if the Original Amount of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on and other amounts due under all Equipment Notes held by such Note Holder and all other sums then due and payable to such Note Holder, such Indenture Indemnitee or the Mortgagee hereunder (including, without limitation, under the third paragraph of Section 2.02 hereof) and under the other Operative Agreements by the Owner and all Related Secured Obligations (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”) shall have been paid in full.
 
SECTION 2.07.  Registration Transfer and Exchange of Equipment Notes
 
The Mortgagee shall keep a register (the “Equipment Note Register”) in which the Mortgagee shall provide for the registration of Equipment Notes and the registration of transfers of Equipment Notes.  No such transfer shall be given effect unless and until registration hereunder shall have occurred.  The Equipment Note Register shall be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Mortgagee.  The Mortgagee is hereby appointed “Equipment Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Equipment Notes and transfers of Equipment Notes as herein provided.  A holder of any Equipment Note intending to exchange such Equipment Note shall surrender such Equipment Note to the Mortgagee at the Corporate Trust Office, together with a written request from the registered holder thereof for the issuance of a new Equipment Note, specifying, in the case of a surrender for transfer, the name and address of the new holder or holders.  Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note, the Owner shall execute, and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Equipment Notes of a like aggregate Original Amount and of the same Series.  At the option of the Note Holder, Equipment Notes may be exchanged for other Equipment Notes of any authorized denominations of a like aggregate Original Amount, upon surrender of the Equipment Notes to be exchanged to the Mortgagee at the Corporate Trust Office.  Whenever any Equipment Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Owner shall execute, and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver, the Equipment Notes which the Note Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.  All Equipment Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes (whether under this Section 2.07 or under Section 2.08 hereof or otherwise under this Trust Indenture) shall be the valid obligations of the Owner evidencing the same respective obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits under this Trust Indenture, as the Equipment Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.  Every Equipment Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, shall (if so required by the Mortgagee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Mortgagee duly executed by the Note Holder or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and the

 
16

 
Mortgagee shall require evidence satisfactory to it as to the compliance of any such transfer with the Securities Act, and the securities Laws of any applicable state.  The Mortgagee shall make a notation on each new Equipment Note of the amount of all payments of Original Amount previously made on the old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes with respect to which such new Equipment Note is issued and the date to which interest on such old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes has been paid.  Interest shall be deemed to have been paid on such new Equipment Note to the date on which interest shall have been paid on such old Equipment Note, and all payments of the Original Amount marked on such new Equipment Note, as provided above, shall be deemed to have been made thereon.  The Owner shall not be required to exchange any surrendered Equipment Notes as provided above during the ten-day period preceding the due date of any payment on such Equipment Note.  The Owner shall in all cases deem the Person in whose name any Equipment Note shall have been issued and registered as the absolute owner and holder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable by the Owner with respect to such Equipment Note and for all purposes until a notice stating otherwise is received from the Mortgagee and such change is reflected on the Equipment Note Register.  The Mortgagee will promptly notify the Owner of each registration of a transfer of an Equipment Note.  Any such transferee of an Equipment Note, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, (i) agrees to the provisions of this Trust Indenture and the Participation Agreement applicable to Note Holders, including Sections 6.3, 6.4 and 9.1 thereof, and shall be deemed to have covenanted to the parties to the Participation Agreement as to the matters covenanted by the original Note Holder in the Participation Agreement and (ii) agrees to the restrictions set forth in Sections 4.1(a)(i) and 4.1(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement, and shall be deemed to have covenanted to the parties to the Intercreditor Agreement not to give any direction, or otherwise authorize, the Mortgagee to take any action that would violate Sections 4.1(a)(i) or 4.1(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement.  Subject to compliance by the Note Holder and its transferee (if any) of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.07, Mortgagee and Owner shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment Notes upon transfer or exchange within 10 Business Days of the date an Equipment Note is surrendered for transfer or exchange.
 
SECTION 2.08.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Equipment Notes
 
If any Equipment Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Owner shall, upon the written request of the holder of such Equipment Note, execute and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver in replacement thereof a new Equipment Note, payable in the same Original Amount dated the same date and captioned as issued in connection with the Aircraft.  If the Equipment Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Mortgagee and a photocopy thereof shall be furnished to the Owner.  If the Equipment Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the holder of such Equipment Note shall furnish to the Owner and the Mortgagee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Owner and the Mortgagee harmless and evidence satisfactory to the Owner and the Mortgagee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Equipment Note and of the ownership thereof.  If a “qualified institutional buyer” of the type referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(A), (B), (D) or (E) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “QIB”) is the holder of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Equipment Note, then the written indemnity of such QIB, signed by an authorized officer thereof, in favor of, delivered to and in form reasonably satisfactory Owner shall be accepted as satisfactory indemnity and security and no further indemnity or

 
17

 
security shall be required as a condition to the execution and delivery of such new Equipment Note.  Subject to compliance by the Note Holder with the requirements set forth in this Section 2.08, Mortgagee and Owner shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment Notes within 10 Business Days of the date of the written request therefor from the Note Holder.
 
SECTION 2.09.  Payment of Expenses on Transfer; Cancellation
 
(a)           No service charge shall be made to a Note Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes, but the Mortgagee, as Equipment Note Registrar, may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes.
 
(b)           The Mortgagee shall cancel all Equipment Notes surrendered for replacement, redemption, transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall destroy the canceled Equipment Notes.
 
SECTION 2.10.  Mandatory Redemptions of Equipment Notes
 
On the date on which the Owner is required pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof to make payment for an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe, all of the Equipment Notes shall be redeemed in whole at a redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid Original Amount thereof, together with all accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption and all other Secured Obligations (other than Related Secured Obligations) owed or then due and payable to the Note Holders but without Make-Whole Amount.
 
SECTION 2.11.  Voluntary Redemptions of Equipment Notes

(b)           The Additional Series Equipment Notes may be redeemed by the Owner upon at least 30 days’ revocable prior written notice to the Mortgagee and the Note Holders of such Series to be redeemed, and such Equipment Notes shall be redeemed in whole at a redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid Original Amount thereof, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption and all other Secured Obligations (other than Related Secured Obligations) owed or then due and payable to the Note Holders of such Series plus Make-Whole Amount, if any.

(c)           On or before the redemption date, the Owner (or any person on behalf of the Owner) shall, to the extent an amount equal to the redemption price for the Equipment Notes to be redeemed on the redemption date shall not then be held by the Mortgagee, deposit or cause to be deposited with the Mortgagee by 12:30 PM New York time on the redemption date in immediately available funds the redemption price of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed.
 
(d)           Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Equipment Notes to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Mortgagee or at any office or agency maintained for such purposes pursuant to Section 2.07, and from and after such redemption date (unless there shall be a default in the payment of the redemption price) any such Equipment Notes then outstanding shall cease to bear interest.  Upon surrender of any such Equipment Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Equipment Note shall be redeemed at the redemption price.  If any Equipment Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal amount thereof shall, until paid, continue to bear interest from the applicable redemption date at the interest rate in effect for such Equipment Note as of such redemption date.
 
SECTION 2.13.  Subordination
 
(a)           The Owner, each Note Holder (by acceptance of its Equipment Notes of any Series) and each Related Note Holder (by acceptance of its Related Equipment Note), hereby agree that no payment or distribution shall be made on or in respect of the Secured Obligations owed to such Note Holder of such Series or owed to such Related Note Holder, including any payment or distribution of cash, property or securities after the commencement of a proceeding of the type referred to in Section 5.01(v), (vi) or (vii) hereof, except as expressly provided in Article III hereof.

 
19

 
(b)           By the acceptance of Additional Series Equipment Notes, if issued, each Note Holder of such Additional Series Equipment Notes agrees that in the event that such Note Holder, in its capacity as a Note Holder, shall receive any payment or distribution on any Secured Obligations in respect of such Additional Series Equipment Notes which it is not entitled to receive under this Section 2.13 or Article III hereof, it will hold any amount so received in trust for the Senior Holder (as defined in Section 2.13(c) hereof) and will forthwith turn over such payment to the Mortgagee in the form received to be applied as provided in Article III hereof.  By the acceptance of its Related Additional Series Equipment Notes, each Related Note Holder agrees that in the event that such Related Note Holder, in its capacity as a Related Note Holder, shall receive any payment or distribution pursuant to this Trust Indenture on any Related Secured Obligations which it is not entitled to receive under this Section 2.13 or Article III hereof, it will hold any amount so received in trust for the Senior Holder (as defined in Section 2.13(c) hereof) and will forthwith turn over such payment to the Mortgagee in the form received to be applied as provided in Article III hereof.

Agreement shall be distributed by the Mortgagee to the extent received or realized at any time, in the order of priority specified in Section 3.01 hereof, and after payment in full of all amounts then due in accordance with Section 3.01 in the manner provided in clause “Fourth” of Section 3.03 hereof.
 
SECTION 3.06.  Cooperation
 
Prior to making any distribution under this Article III, the Mortgagee shall consult with the Related Mortgagees to determine amounts payable with respect to the Related Secured Obligations.  The Mortgagee shall cooperate with the Related Mortgagees and shall provide such information as shall be reasonably requested by each Related Mortgagee to enable such Related Mortgagee to determine amounts distributable under Article III of its Related Indenture.
 
SECTION 3.07.  Securities Account
 
In furtherance of the provisions of Section 3.03 of the Trust Indenture, WTC agrees to act as an Eligible Institution under the Trust Indenture in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Indenture (in such capacity, the “Securities Intermediary”).  Except in its capacity as Mortgagee, WTC waives any claim or lien against any Eligible Account it may have, by operation of law or otherwise, for any amount owed to it by Owner.  The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Trust Indenture, (i) any amounts to be held by the Mortgagee pursuant to paragraph (iii) of clause “Third” of Section 3.03 and any investment earnings thereon or other Cash Equivalents will be credited to an Eligible Account (the “Securities Account”) for which it is a “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the NY UCC) and the Mortgagee is the “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the NY UCC) of the “securities entitlement” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the NY UCC) with respect to each “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the NY UCC) credited to such Eligible Account, (ii) all such amounts, Cash Equivalents and all other property acquired with cash credited to the Securities Account will be credited to the Securities Account, (iii) all items of property (whether cash, investment property, Cash Equivalents, other investments, securities, instruments or other property) credited to the Securities Account will be treated as a “financial asset” under Article 8 of the NY UCC, (iv) its “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (as defined in Section 8-110(e) of the NY UCC) with respect to the Securities Account is the State of New York, and (v) all securities, instruments and other property in order or registered from and credited to the Securities Account shall be payable to or to the order of, or registered in the name of, the Securities Intermediary or shall be indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank, and in no case whatsoever shall any financial asset credited to the Securities Account be registered in the name of the Owner, payable to or to the order of the Owner or specially indorsed to the Owner except to the extent the foregoing have been specially endorsed by the Owner to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.  The Mortgagee agrees that it will hold (and will indicate clearly in its books and records that it holds) its “securities entitlement” to the “financial assets” credited to the Securities Account in trust for the benefit of the Note Holders and each of the Indenture Indemnitees as set forth in the Trust Indenture.  The Owner acknowledges that, by reason of the Mortgagee being the “entitlement holder” in respect of the Securities Account as provided above, the Mortgagee shall have the sole right and discretion, subject only to the terms of the Trust Indenture, to give all

 
25

 
“entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the NY UCC) with respect to the Securities Account and any and all financial assets and other property credited thereto to the exclusion of the Owner.

Mortgagee hereby agrees, and each Note Holder and Related Note Holder by acceptance of an Equipment Note and a Related Equipment Note, respectively, agrees, for the benefit of each lessor, conditional seller, indenture trustee or secured party of any engine leased to, or purchased by, Owner or any Permitted Lessee subject to a lease, conditional sale, trust indenture or other security agreement that Mortgagee, each Note Holder and Related Note Holder and their respective successors and assigns will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor, conditional seller, indenture trustee or secured party, any right, title or interest in any engine as the result of such engine being installed on the Airframe at any time while such engine is subject to such lease, conditional sale, trust indenture or other security agreement and owned by such lessor or conditional seller or subject to a trust indenture or security interest in favor of such indenture trustee or secured party.
 
(c)           Operation and Use.  So long as the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, the Owner shall not operate, use or locate the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, or allow the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine to be operated, used or located, (i) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 4.06, except in the case of a requisition by the U.S. Government where the Owner obtains indemnity in lieu of such insurance from the U.S. Government, or insurance from the U.S. Government, against substantially the same risks and for at least the amounts of the insurance required by Section 4.06 covering such area, or (ii) in any recognized area of hostilities unless covered in accordance with Section 4.06 by war risk insurance, or in either case unless the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine is only temporarily operated, used or located in such area as a result of an emergency, equipment malfunction, navigational error, hijacking, weather condition or other similar unforeseen circumstance, so long as Owner diligently and in good faith proceeds to remove the Aircraft from such area.  So long as the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, the Owner shall not permit such Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, as the case may be, to be used, operated, maintained, serviced, repaired or overhauled (x) in violation of any Law binding on or applicable to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine or (y) in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration of any Government Entity relating to the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine, except (i) immaterial or non-recurring violations with respect to which corrective measures are taken promptly by Owner or Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, upon discovery thereof, or (ii) to the extent the validity or application of any such Law or requirement relating to any such certificate, license or registration is being contested in good faith by Owner or Permitted Lessee in any reasonable manner which does not involve any material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft,

 
29

 
Airframe or any Engine, any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty against Mortgagee or impair the Mortgagee’s security interest in the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine.
 
(d)           Maintenance and Repair.  So long as the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, the Owner shall cause the Aircraft, Airframe and each Engine to be maintained, serviced, repaired and overhauled in accordance with (i) maintenance standards required by or substantially equivalent to those required by the FAA or the central aviation authority of Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands or the United Kingdom for the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines, so as to (A) keep the Aircraft, the Airframe and each Engine in as good operating condition as on the Closing Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted, (B) keep the Aircraft in such operating condition as may be necessary to enable the applicable airworthiness certification of such Aircraft to be maintained under the regulations of the FAA or other Aviation Authority then having jurisdiction over the operation of the Aircraft, except during (x) temporary periods of storage in accordance with applicable regulations, (y) maintenance and modification permitted hereunder or (z) periods when the FAA or such other Aviation Authority has revoked or suspended the airworthiness certificates for Similar Aircraft; and (ii) except during periods when a Permitted Lease is in effect, the same standards as Owner uses with respect to similar aircraft of similar size in its fleet operated by Owner in similar circumstances and, during any period in which a Permitted Lease is in effect, the same standards used by the Permitted Lessee with respect to similar aircraft of similar size in its fleet and operated by the Permitted Lessee in similar circumstances (it being understood that this clause (ii) shall not limit Owner’s obligations under the preceding clause (i)).  Owner further agrees that the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines will be maintained, used, serviced, repaired, overhauled or inspected in compliance with applicable Laws with respect to the maintenance of the Aircraft and in compliance with each applicable airworthiness certificate, license and registration relating to the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine issued by the Aviation Authority, other than minor or nonrecurring violations with respect to which corrective measures are taken upon discovery thereof and except to the extent Owner or Permitted Lessee is contesting in good faith the validity or application of any such Law or requirement relating to any such certificate, license or registration in any reasonable manner which does not create a material risk of sale, loss or forfeiture of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine or the interest of Mortgagee therein, or any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty against Mortgagee.  The Owner shall maintain or cause to be maintained the Aircraft Documents in the English language.
 
(e)           Registration.  The Owner on or prior to the date of the Closing shall cause the Aircraft to be duly registered in its name under the Act and except as otherwise permitted by this Section 4.02(e) at all times thereafter shall cause the Aircraft to remain so registered.  So long as no Special Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Owner may, by written notice to Mortgagee, request to change the country of registration of the Aircraft.  Any such change in registration shall be effected only in compliance with, and subject to all of the conditions set forth in, Section 6.4.5 of the Participation Agreement.  Unless the Trust Indenture has been discharged, Owner shall also cause the Trust Indenture to be duly recorded and at all times maintained of record as a first-priority perfected mortgage (subject to Permitted Liens) on the Aircraft, the Airframe and each of the Engines (except to the extent such perfection or priority cannot be maintained solely as a result of the failure by Mortgagee to execute and deliver any necessary documents).  Unless the Lien of this

 
30

 
Indenture has been discharged, Owner shall cause the International Interest granted under this Indenture in favor of the Mortgagee in each Airframe and Engine to be registered on the International Registry as an International Interest on such Airframe and Engine, subject to the Mortgagee providing its consent to the International Registry with respect thereto, and shall cause the sale to Owner of the Airframe and each Engine at the Closing to be registered on the International Registry.
 
(f)           Markings.  If permitted by applicable Law, on or reasonably promptly after the Closing Date, Owner will cause to be affixed to, and maintained in, the cockpit of the Airframe and on each Engine, in each case, in a clearly visible location, a placard of a reasonable size and shape bearing the legend:  “Subject to a security interest in favor of Wilmington Trust Company, not in its individual capacity but solely as Mortgagee.”  Such placards may be removed temporarily, if necessary, in the course of maintenance of the Airframe or Engines.  If any such placard is damaged or becomes illegible, Owner shall promptly replace it with a placard complying with the requirements of this Section.
 
SECTION 4.03.  Inspection
 
(a)           At all reasonable times, so long as the Aircraft is subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, Mortgagee and its authorized representatives (the “Inspecting Parties”) may (not more than once every 12 months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing then such inspection right shall not be so limited) inspect the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines (including without limitation, the Aircraft Documents) and any such Inspecting Party may make copies of such Aircraft Documents not reasonably deemed confidential by Owner or such Permitted Lessee.
 
(b)           Any inspection of the Aircraft hereunder shall be limited to a visual, walk-around inspection and shall not include the opening of any panels, bays or other components of the Aircraft, and no such inspection shall interfere with Owner’s or any Permitted Lessee’s maintenance and operation of the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines.
 
(c)           With respect to such rights of inspection, Mortgagee shall not have any duty or liability to make, or any duty or liability by reason of not making, any such visit, inspection or survey.
 
(d)           Each Inspecting Party shall bear its own expenses in connection with any such inspection (including the cost of any copies made in accordance with Section 4.03(a)).
 
SECTION 4.04.  Replacement and Pooling of Parts, Alterations, Modifications and Additions; Substitution of Engines
 
(a)           Replacement of Parts.  Except as otherwise provided herein, so long as the Airframe or Engine is subject to the Lien of this Indenture, Owner, at its own cost and expense, will, or will cause a Permitted Lessee to, at its own cost and expense, promptly replace (or cause to be replaced) all Parts which may from time to time be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine and which may from time to time

 
31

 
become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever.  In addition, Owner may, at its own cost and expense, or may permit a Permitted Lessee at its own cost and expense to, remove (or cause to be removed) in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use; provided, however, that Owner, except as otherwise provided herein, at its own cost and expense, will, or will cause a Permitted Lessee at its own cost and expense to, replace such Parts as promptly as practicable.  All replacement parts shall be free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens and pooling arrangements to the extent permitted by Section 4.04(c) below (and except in the case of replacement property temporarily installed on an emergency basis) and shall be in good operating condition and have a value and utility not less than the value and utility of the Parts replaced (assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition required hereunder).
 
(b)           Parts.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any Part at any time removed from the Airframe or any Engine shall remain subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, no matter where located, until such time as such Part shall be replaced by a part that has been incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine and that meets the requirements for replacement parts specified above.  Immediately upon any replacement part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine as provided in Section 4.04(a), without further act, (i) the replaced Part shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Mortgagee and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder, and (ii) such replacement part shall become a Part subject to this Trust Indenture and be deemed part of such Airframe or any Engine, as the case may be, for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine.
 
(c)           Pooling of Parts.  Any Part removed from the Aircraft, Airframe or an Engine may be subjected by the Owner or a Permitted Lessee to a normal pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry and entered into in the ordinary course of business of Owner or Permitted Lessee, provided that the part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine in accordance with Sections 4.04(a) and 4.04(b) as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part.  In addition, any replacement part when incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine may be owned by any third party, subject to a normal pooling arrangement, so long as the Owner or a Permitted Lessee, at its own cost and expense, as promptly thereafter as reasonably possible, either (i) causes such replacement part to become subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens, at which time such replacement part shall become a Part or (ii) replaces (or causes to be replaced) such replacement part by incorporating or installing in or attaching to the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine a further replacement part owned by the Owner free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens and which shall become subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture in accordance with Section 4.04(b).
 
(d)           Alterations, Modifications and Additions.  The Owner shall, or shall cause a Permitted Lessee to, make (or cause to be made) alterations and modifications in and additions to the Aircraft, Airframe and each Engine as may be required to be made from time

 
32

 
to time to meet the applicable standards of the FAA or other Aviation Authority having jurisdiction over the operation of the Aircraft, to the extent made mandatory in respect of the Aircraft (a “Mandatory Modification”); provided however, that the Owner or a Permitted Lessee may, in good faith and by appropriate procedure, contest the validity or application of any law, rule, regulation or order in any reasonable manner which does not materially adversely affect Mortgagee’s interest in the Aircraft, does not impair the Mortgagee’s security interest in the Aircraft and does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or the interest of Mortgagee therein, or any material risk of material civil penalty or any material risk of criminal liability being imposed on Mortgagee or the holder of any Equipment Note.  In addition, the Owner, at its own expense, may, or may permit a Permitted Lessee at its own cost and expense to, from time to time make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine (each an “Optional Modification”) as the Owner or such Permitted Lessee may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business including, without limitation, removal of Parts which Owner deems are obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use in the Aircraft, Airframe or such Engine; provided, however, that no such Optional Modification shall (i) materially diminish the fair market value, utility, or useful life of the Aircraft or any Engine below its fair market value, utility or useful life immediately prior to such Optional Modification (assuming the Aircraft or such Engine was in the condition required by this Trust Indenture immediately prior to such Optional Modification) or (ii) cause the Aircraft to cease to have the applicable standard certificate of airworthiness except that such certificate of airworthiness temporarily may be replaced by an experimental certificate during the process of implementing and testing such Optional Modification and securing related FAA re-certification of the Aircraft.  All Parts incorporated or installed in or attached to any Airframe or any Engine as the result of any alteration, modification or addition effected by the Owner shall be free and clear of any Liens except Permitted Liens and become subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture; provided that the Owner or any Permitted Lessee may, at any time so long as the Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, remove any such Part (such Part being referred to herein as a “Removable Part”) from such Airframe or an Engine if (i) such Part is in addition to, and not in replacement of or in substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of, or in substitution for, any such original Part, (ii) such Part is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to such Airframe or any Engine pursuant to the terms of Section 4.02(d) or the first sentence of this Section 4.04(d) and (iii) such Part can be removed from such Airframe or any Engine without materially diminishing the fair market value, utility or remaining useful life which such Airframe or any Engine would have had at the time of removal had such removal not been effected by the Owner, assuming the Aircraft was otherwise maintained in the condition required by this Trust Indenture and such Removable Part had not been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft, Airframe or such Engine.  Upon the removal by the Owner of any such Part as above provided, title thereto shall, without further act, be free and clear of all rights of the Mortgagee and such Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder.  Removable Parts may be leased from or financed by third parties other than Mortgagee.
 
(e)           Substitution of Engines.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under circumstances in which an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe has not occurred, Owner shall promptly (and in any event within 15 days after such

 
33

 
occurrence) give the Mortgagee written notice of such Event of Loss.  The Owner shall have the right at its option at any time, on at least 5 Business Days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee, to substitute, and if an Event of Loss shall have occurred with respect to an Engine under circumstances in which an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe has not occurred, shall within 60 days of the occurrence of such Event of Loss substitute, a Replacement Engine for any Engine.  In such event, immediately upon the effectiveness of such substitution and without further act, (i) the replaced Engine shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Mortgagee and the Lien of this Trust Indenture and shall no longer be deemed an Engine hereunder and (ii) such Replacement Engine shall become subject to this Trust Indenture and be deemed part of the Aircraft for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the replaced Engine.  Such Replacement Engine shall be an engine manufactured by Engine Manufacturer that is the same model as the Engine to be replaced thereby, or an improved model, and that is suitable for installation and use on the Airframe, and that has a value, utility and remaining useful life (without regard to hours and cycles remaining until overhaul) at least equal to the Engine to be replaced thereby (assuming that such Engine had been maintained in accordance with this Trust Indenture).  The Owner’s right to make a replacement hereunder shall be subject to the fulfillment (which may be simultaneous with such replacement) of the following conditions precedent at the Owner’s sole cost and expense, and the Mortgagee agrees to cooperate with the Owner to the extent necessary to enable it to timely satisfy such conditions:
 
(i)           an executed counterpart of each of the following documents shall be delivered to the Mortgagee:
 
(A)           a Trust Indenture Supplement covering the Replacement Engine, which shall have been duly filed for recordation pursuant to the Act or such other applicable law of the jurisdiction other than the United States in which the Aircraft of which such Engine is a part is registered in accordance with Section 4.02(e), as the case may be;
 
(B)           a full warranty xxxx of sale (as to title), covering the Replacement Engine, executed by the former owner thereof in favor of the Owner (or, at the Owner’s option, other evidence of the Owner’s ownership of such Replacement Engine, reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee); and
 
(C)           UCC financing statements covering the security interests created by this Trust Indenture (or any similar statements or other documents required to be filed or delivered pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Aircraft may be registered) as are deemed necessary or desirable by counsel for the Mortgagee to protect the security interests of the Mortgagee in the Replacement Engine;
 
(ii)           the Owner shall cause to be delivered to the Mortgagee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Lien of this Trust Indenture continues to be in full force and effect with respect to the Replacement Engine and such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 4.06 with respect to such Replacement Engine as Mortgagee shall reasonably request;

(b)           Insurance for Own Account.  Nothing in Section 4.06 shall limit or prohibit (a) Owner from maintaining the policies of insurance required under Annex B with higher limits than those specified in Annex B, or (b) Mortgagee from obtaining insurance for its

 
39

 
own account (and any proceeds payable under such separate insurance shall be payable as provided in the policy relating thereto); provided, however, that no insurance may be obtained or maintained that would limit or otherwise adversely affect the coverage of any insurance required to be obtained or maintained by Owner pursuant to this Section 4.06 and Annex B.
 
(c)           Indemnification by Government in Lieu of Insurance.  Mortgagee agrees to accept, in lieu of insurance against any risk with respect to the Aircraft described in Annex B, indemnification from, or insurance provided by, the U.S. Government, or upon the written consent of Mortgagee, other Government Entity, against such risk in an amount that, when added to the amount of insurance (including permitted self-insurance), if any, against such risk that Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) may continue to maintain, in accordance with this Section 4.06, during the period of such requisition or transfer, shall be at least equal to the amount of insurance against such risk otherwise required by this Section 4.06.
 
(d)           Application of Insurance Proceeds.  As between Owner and Mortgagee, all insurance proceeds received as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft or any Engine under policies required to be maintained by Owner pursuant to this Section 4.06 will be applied in accordance with Section 4.05(d).  All proceeds of insurance required to be maintained by Owner, in accordance with Section 4.06 and Section B of Annex B, in respect of any property damage or loss not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine will be applied in payment (or to reimburse Owner) for repairs or for replacement property, and any balance remaining after such repairs or replacement with respect to such damage or loss shall be paid over to, or retained by, Owner.
 
SECTION 4.07.  Merger of Owner
 
(a)           In General.  Owner shall not consolidate with or merge into any other person under circumstances in which Owner is not the surviving corporation, or convey, transfer or lease in one or more transactions all or substantially all of its assets to any other person, unless:
 
(i)           such person is organized, existing and in good standing under the Laws of the United States, any State of the United States or the District of Columbia and, upon consummation of such transaction, such person will be a U.S. Air Carrier;
 
(ii)           such person executes and delivers to Mortgagee a duly authorized, legal, valid, binding and enforceable agreement, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Mortgagee, containing an effective assumption by such person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant, agreement and condition in the Operative Agreements to be performed or observed by Owner;
 
(iii)           if the Aircraft is, at the time, registered with the FAA, such person makes such filings and recordings with the FAA pursuant to the Act or if the Aircraft is, at the time, not registered with FAA, such person makes such filings and recordings with the applicable Aviation Authority as shall be necessary to evidence such consolidation or merger; and

 
40

 
(iv)           immediately after giving effect to such consolidation or merger no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
 
(b)           Effect of Merger.  Upon any such consolidation or merger of Owner with or into, or the conveyance, transfer or lease by Owner of all or substantially all of its assets to, any Person in accordance with this Section 4.07, such Person will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, Owner under the Operative Agreements with the same effect as if such person had been named as “Owner” therein.  No such consolidation or merger, or conveyance, transfer or lease, shall have the effect of releasing Owner or such Person from any of the obligations, liabilities, covenants or undertakings of Owner under the Trust Indenture.

SECTION 5.02.  Remedies
 
(a)           If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and so long as the same shall continue unremedied, then and in every such case the Mortgagee may exercise any or all of the rights and powers and pursue any and all of the remedies pursuant to this Article V and shall have and may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or of a chargee under the Cape Town Treaty and may take possession of all or any part of the properties covered or intended to be covered by the Lien created hereby or pursuant hereto and may exclude the Owner and all persons claiming under it wholly or partly therefrom; provided, that the Mortgagee shall give the Owner twenty days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell the Aircraft.  Without limiting any of the foregoing, it is

 
42

 
understood and agreed that the Mortgagee 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.
 
(b)           If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case the Mortgagee may (and shall, upon receipt of a written demand therefor from a Majority in Interest of Note Holders), at any time, by delivery of written notice or notices to the Owner, declare all the Equipment Notes to be due and payable, whereupon the unpaid Original Amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon (without Make-Whole Amount) and other amounts due thereunder or otherwise payable hereunder, shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived; provided that if an Event of Default referred to in clause (v), (vi) or (vii) of Section 5.01 hereof shall have occurred, then and in every such case the unpaid Original Amount then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest (without Make-Whole Amount) and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Equipment Notes shall immediately and without further act become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived.
 
This Section 5.02(b), however, is subject to the condition that, if at any time after the Original Amount of the Equipment Notes shall have become so due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the money so due, or any thereof, shall be entered, all overdue payments of interest upon the Equipment Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the Equipment Notes (except the Original Amount of the Equipment Notes and any Make-Whole Amount which by such declaration shall have become payable) shall have been duly paid, and every other Default and Event of Default with respect to any covenant or provision of this Trust Indenture shall have been cured, then and in every such case a Majority in Interest of Note Holders may (but shall not be obligated to), by written instrument filed with the Mortgagee, rescind and annul the Mortgagee’s declaration (or such automatic acceleration) and its consequences; but no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
 
(c)           The Note Holders shall be entitled, at any sale pursuant to this Section 5.02, to credit against any purchase price bid at such sale by such holder all or any part of the unpaid obligations owing to such Note Holder and secured by the Lien of this Trust Indenture (only to the extent that such purchase price would have been paid to such Note Holder pursuant to Article III hereof if such purchase price were paid in cash and the foregoing provisions of this subsection (c) were not given effect).
 
(d)           In the event of any sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, pursuant to any judgment or decree of any court or otherwise in connection with the enforcement of any of the terms of this Trust Indenture, the unpaid Original Amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon (without Make-Whole Amount), and other amounts due thereunder, shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived.

 
43

 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything contained herein, so long as the Pass Through Trustee (or its designee) is a Note Holder, the Mortgagee will not be authorized or empowered to acquire title to any Collateral or take any action with respect to any Collateral so acquired by it if such acquisition or action would cause any Trust to fail to qualify as a “grantor trust” for federal income tax purposes.
 
SECTION 5.03.  Return of Aircraft, Etc.
 
(a)           If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Equipment Notes have been accelerated, at the request of the Mortgagee, the Owner shall promptly execute and deliver to the Mortgagee such instruments of title and other documents as the Mortgagee may deem necessary or advisable to enable the Mortgagee or an agent or representative designated by the Mortgagee, at such time or times and place or places as the Mortgagee may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to which the Mortgagee shall at the time be entitled hereunder.  If the Owner shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee may (i) obtain a judgment conferring on the Mortgagee the right to immediate possession and requiring the Owner to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to the Mortgagee, to the entry of which judgment the Owner hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent permitted by Law, and (ii) pursue all or part of such Collateral wherever it may be found and may enter any of the premises of Owner wherever such Collateral may be or be supposed to be and search for such Collateral and take possession of and remove such Collateral.  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 Trust Indenture.
 
(b)           Upon every such taking of possession, the Mortgagee may, from time to time, at the expense of the Collateral, make all such expenditures for maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, modifications or alterations to and of the Collateral, as it may deem proper.  In each such case, the Mortgagee shall have the right to maintain, use, operate, store, insure, lease, control, manage, dispose of, modify or alter the Collateral and to exercise all rights and powers of the Owner relating to the Collateral, as the Mortgagee shall deem best, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, modification or alteration of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Mortgagee may determine, and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all rents, revenues and other proceeds of the Collateral and every part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Mortgagee under any provision of this Trust Indenture to collect and receive all cash held by, or required to be deposited with, the Mortgagee hereunder.  Such rents, revenues and other proceeds shall be applied to pay the expenses of the maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, improvement, modification or alteration of the Collateral and of conducting the business thereof, and to make all payments which the Mortgagee may be required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance or other proper charges upon the Collateral 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), and all other payments which the Mortgagee may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Trust Indenture, as well as

 
44

 
just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Mortgagee, and of all persons properly engaged and employed by the Mortgagee with respect hereto.
 
SECTION 5.04.  Remedies Cumulative
 
Each and every right, power and remedy given to the Mortgagee specifically or otherwise in this Trust Indenture shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at Law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy.  No delay or omission by the Mortgagee 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 or to be an acquiescence therein.
 
SECTION 5.05.  Discontinuance of Proceedings
 
In case the Mortgagee shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Trust Indenture by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in every such case the Owner and the Mortgagee shall, subject to any determination in such proceedings, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Owner or the Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been instituted.
 
SECTION 5.06.  Waiver of Past Defaults

Mortgagee shall have been advised by counsel that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to Law.
 
SECTION 6.04.  No Duties Except as Specified in Trust Indenture or Instructions

SECTION 6.05.  No Action Except Under Trust Indenture or Instructions
 
The Mortgagee will not use, operate, store, lease, control, manage, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the Collateral except in accordance with the powers granted to, or the authority conferred upon the Mortgagee pursuant to this Trust Indenture and in accordance with the express terms hereof.

(a)           The Mortgagee or any successor thereto may resign at any time without cause by giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Owner and each Note Holder, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of the trusteeship by a successor Mortgagee.  In addition, a Majority in Interest of Note Holders may at any time (but only with the consent of Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that such consent shall not be necessary if an Event of Default is continuing) remove the Mortgagee without cause by an instrument in writing delivered to the Owner and the Mortgagee, and the Mortgagee shall promptly notify each Note Holder thereof in writing, such removal to be effective upon the acceptance of the trusteeship by a successor Mortgagee.  In the case of the resignation or removal of the Mortgagee, a Majority in Interest of Note Holders may appoint a successor

 
51

 
Mortgagee by an instrument signed by such holders, which successor, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be subject to Owner’s reasonable approval.  If a successor Mortgagee shall not have been appointed within 30 days after such notice of resignation or removal, the Mortgagee, the Owner or any Note Holder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Mortgagee to act until such time, if any, as a successor shall have been appointed as above provided.  The successor Mortgagee so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Mortgagee appointed as above provided.
 
(b)           Any successor Mortgagee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the Owner and the predecessor Mortgagee an instrument accepting such appointment and assuming the obligations of the Mortgagee arising from and after the time of such appointment, and thereupon such successor Mortgagee, without further act, shall become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and duties of the predecessor Mortgagee hereunder in the trust hereunder applicable to it with like effect as if originally named the Mortgagee herein; but nevertheless upon the written request of such successor Mortgagee, such predecessor Mortgagee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Mortgagee, upon the trusts herein expressed applicable to it, all the estates, properties, rights and powers of such predecessor Mortgagee, and such predecessor Mortgagee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to such successor Mortgagee all monies or other property then held by such predecessor Mortgagee hereunder.
 
(c)           Any successor Mortgagee, however appointed, shall be a bank or trust company having its principal place of business in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York; Chicago, Illinois; Hartford, Connecticut; Wilmington, Delaware; or Boston, Massachusetts and having (or whose obligations under the Operative Agreements are guaranteed by an affiliated entity having) a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000, if there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of the Mortgagee hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms.

(e)           The Owner consents to any change in the identity of the Mortgagee on the International Registry occasioned by provisions of this Section 9.01, and if required by the International Registry to reflect such change, will provide its consent thereto.
 
SECTION 9.02.  Appointment of Additional and Separate Trustees
 
(a)           Whenever (i) the Mortgagee shall deem it necessary or desirable in order to conform to any Law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Collateral shall be situated or to make any claim or bring any suit with respect to or in connection with the

 
52

 
Collateral, this Trust Indenture, any other Indenture Agreement, the Equipment Notes or any of the transactions contemplated by the Participation Agreement, (ii) the Mortgagee shall be advised by counsel satisfactory to it that it is so necessary or prudent in the interests of the Note Holders (and the Mortgagee shall so advise the Owner), or (iii) the Mortgagee shall have been requested to do so by a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, then in any such case, the Mortgagee and, upon the written request of the Mortgagee, the Owner, shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and such other instruments as may from time to time be necessary or advisable either (1) to constitute one or more bank or trust companies or one or more persons approved by the Mortgagee, either to act jointly with the Mortgagee as additional trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Collateral, or to act as separate trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Collateral, in each case with such rights, powers, duties and obligations consistent with this Trust Indenture as may be provided in such supplemental indenture or other instruments as the Mortgagee or a Majority in Interest of Note Holders may deem necessary or advisable, or (2) to clarify, add to or subtract from the rights, powers, duties and obligations theretofore granted any such additional or separate trustee, subject in each case to the remaining provisions of this Section 9.02. If the Owner shall not have taken any action requested of it under this Section 9.02(a) that is permitted or required by its terms within 15 days after the receipt of a written request from the Mortgagee so to do, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagee may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02(a) without the concurrence of the Owner, and the Owner hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the Mortgagee, its agent and attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02(a) in either of such contingencies.  The Mortgagee may, in such capacity, execute, deliver and perform any such supplemental indenture, or any such instrument, as may be required for the appointment of any such additional or separate trustee or for the clarification of, addition to or subtraction from the rights, powers, duties or obligations theretofore granted to any such additional or separate trustee.  In case any additional or separate trustee appointed under this Section 9.02(a) shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be moved, all the assets, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such additional or separate trustee shall revert to the Mortgagee until a successor additional or separate trustee is appointed as provided in this Section 9.02(a).
 
(b)           No additional or separate trustee shall be entitled to exercise any of the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon the Mortgagee in respect of the custody, investment and payment of monies and all monies received by any such additional or separate trustee from or constituting part of the Collateral or otherwise payable under any Operative Agreement to the Mortgagee shall be promptly paid over by it to the Mortgagee.  All other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon any additional or separate trustee shall be exercised or performed by the Mortgagee and such additional or separate trustee jointly except to the extent that applicable Law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed renders the Mortgagee incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to all or part of the Collateral in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such additional or separate trustee.  No additional or separate trustee shall take any discretionary action except on the instructions of the Mortgagee or a Majority in Interest of Note Holders.  No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, except that the Mortgagee shall be liable for the consequences of its lack of reasonable care in selecting,

 
53

 
and the Mortgagee’s own actions in acting with, any additional or separate trustee.  Each additional or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 9.02 shall be subject to, and shall have the benefit of Articles V through IX and Article XI hereof insofar as they apply to the Mortgagee.  The powers of any additional or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 9.02 shall not in any case exceed those of the Mortgagee hereunder.
 
(c)           If at any time the Mortgagee shall deem it no longer necessary or in order to conform to any such Law or take any such action or shall be advised by such counsel that it is no longer so necessary or desirable in the interest of the Note Holders, or in the event that the Mortgagee shall have been requested to do so in writing by a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, the Mortgagee and, upon the written request of the Mortgagee, the Owner, shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and all other instruments and agreements necessary or proper to remove any additional or separate trustee.  The Mortgagee may act on behalf of the Owner under this Section 9.02(c) when and to the extent it could so act under Section 9.02(a) hereof.
