of the Owner thereunder.

irrevocably, granted for good and valuable consideration and coupled with an interest and with full
power of substitution, and with full power (in the name of the Owner or otherwise)
3
to ask for, require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all monies and claims for
monies (in each case including insurance and requisition proceeds) due and to become due under or arising out of the Indenture Agreements, and all other property which now or
hereafter constitutes part of the Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders
in connection therewith and to file any claims or to take any action or to institute any
proceedings which the Mortgagee may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises;
provided that the Mortgagee shall not exercise any such rights except upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder.

Mortgagee, the Owner will promptly and duly execute and deliver or cause to be duly executed and
delivered any and all such further instruments and documents (including without limitation UCC
continuation statements) as the Mortgagee may reasonably deem necessary to perfect, preserve or

payable in installments on the dates set forth in Schedule I hereto equal to the corresponding
percentage of the Original Amount of this Equipment Note set forth in Schedule I hereto. Accrued
but unpaid interest shall be due and payable in arrears in semi-annual installments commencing on

anything to the contrary contained herein, if any date on which a payment under this Equipment Note

scheduled date but shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and if such payment is made on
such next succeeding Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount of such payment during
such extension.
For purposes hereof, the term “Trust Indenture” means the Trust Indenture and Mortgage N259WN
dated as of October 3, 2007, between the Owner and Wilmington Trust Company (the “Mortgagee”), as
the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time. All other capitalized terms used in
this Equipment Note and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned in the Trust
Indenture.
This Equipment Note shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Payment Due Rate
(calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months) on any overdue
Original Amount, any overdue Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable
Law) any overdue interest and any other amounts payable hereunder which are overdue, in each case
for the period the same is overdue. Amounts shall be overdue if not paid when due (whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise).
There shall be maintained an Equipment Note Register for the purpose of registering transfers
and exchanges of Equipment Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the Mortgagee or at the office of
any successor in the manner provided in Section 2.07 of the Trust Indenture.
The Original Amount and interest and other amounts due hereunder shall be payable in Dollars
in immediately available funds at the Corporate Trust Office of the
5
Mortgagee, or as otherwise provided in the Trust Indenture. Each such payment shall be made on the date such payment is due
and without any presentment or surrender of this Equipment Note, except that in the case of any final payment with respect to this Equipment Note, the
Equipment Note shall be surrendered promptly thereafter to the Mortgagee for cancellation.
The holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Equipment Note, agrees that, except as provided
in the Trust Indenture, each payment of the Original Amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and
interest received by it hereunder shall be applied, first, to the payment of accrued
interest on this Equipment Note (as well as any interest on any overdue Original Amount, any
overdue Make-Whole Amount, if any, or, to the extent permitted by Law, any overdue interest and
other amounts hereunder) to the date of such payment, second, to the payment of the
Original Amount of this Equipment Note then due, third, to the payment of Make-Whole
Amount, if any, and any other amount due hereunder or under the Trust Indenture, and
fourth, the balance, if any, remaining thereafter, to the payment of installments of the
Original Amount of this Equipment Note remaining unpaid in the inverse order of their maturity.
This Equipment Note is one of the Equipment Notes referred to in the Trust Indenture which
have been or are to be issued by the Owner pursuant to the terms of the Trust Indenture. The
Collateral is held by the Mortgagee as security, in part, for the Equipment Notes. The provisions
of this Equipment Note are subject to the Trust Indenture and each Related Indenture as set forth
therein. Reference is hereby made to the Trust Indenture and the Related Indentures for a complete

security for, any other Equipment Notes executed and delivered under the Trust Indenture, as well
as for a statement of the terms and conditions of the Trust created by the Trust Indenture and each
Related Indenture, to all of which terms and conditions in the Trust Indenture and each Related
Indenture each holder hereof agrees by its acceptance of this Equipment Note.
As provided in the Trust Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this
Equipment Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate Original Amount of Equipment Notes of different
authorized denominations, as requested by the holder surrendering the same.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Equipment Note, the Owner and
the Mortgagee shall treat the person in whose name this Equipment Note is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Equipment Note be overdue, and neither the Owner nor
the Mortgagee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

the Trust Indenture but not otherwise. In addition, this Equipment Note may be accelerated as
provided in Section 5.02 of the Trust Indenture.

SECTION 2.02. Issuance and Terms of Equipment Notes
The Equipment Notes (other than the Additional Series Equipment Notes) shall be dated the
Closing Date, shall be issued in two separate series consisting of Series A and Series B and in the
maturities and principal amounts and shall bear interest as specified in Schedule I hereto. On the
Closing Date, each Series of Equipment Note (other than the Additional Series Equipment Notes)
shall be issued to the Subordination Agent on behalf of the Applicable Pass Through Trustee under
the Applicable Pass Through Trust Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, Owner shall have the
option to issue Additional Series Equipment Notes at any time and from time to time after the
Closing Date; provided, that the Owner shall not issue any such Additional Series unless it shall
have obtained Ratings Confirmation from each Rating Agency. The Additional Series Equipment Notes
may be issued in an unlimited number of separate series (if more than one series of Additional
Series Equipment Notes are so issued, each such series shall have a different designation such as,
for example, “Series C” and “Series D”), shall be dated the date of original issuance thereof and
shall have such maturities, principal amounts and interest rates as specified in an amendment to
this Trust Indenture. The Equipment Notes shall be issued in registered form only. The Equipment
Notes shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, except that one
Equipment Note of each Series may be in an amount that is not an integral multiple of $1,000.
Without limitation of the foregoing, new Series B Equipment Notes or Additional Series Equipment
Notes may be issued in accordance with the terms of this Trust Indenture.
Each Equipment Note shall bear interest at the Debt Rate (calculated on the basis of a year of
360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months) on the unpaid Original Amount thereof from time to time
outstanding. Accrued interest shall be payable in arrears on February 1, 2008, and on each
February 1 and August 1 thereafter until maturity. The Original Amount of each Equipment Note
shall be payable on the dates and in the installments equal to the corresponding percentage of the
Original Amount as set forth in Schedule I hereto (as amended, in the case of any Additional
Series, at the time of original issuance of such Additional Series) which shall be attached as
Schedule I to such Equipment Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment made under
each Equipment Note shall be in an amount sufficient to discharge in full the unpaid Original
Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on, and any other amounts due under, such Equipment
Note. Each Equipment Note shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Payment Due Rate
(calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months) on any part of
the Original Amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law,
interest and any other amounts payable thereunder not paid when due for any period during which the
same shall be overdue, in each case for the period the same is overdue. Amounts under any
Equipment Note shall be overdue if not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, whenever the date
scheduled for any payment to be made hereunder or under any Equipment Note shall not be a Business
Day, then such payment shall not be due on such scheduled date but shall be due on the next
succeeding Business Day and if such payment is made on such next succeeding Business Day, no
interest shall accrue on the amount of such payment during such extension.

The Owner agrees to pay to the Mortgagee for distribution in accordance with Section 3.04
hereof: (i) an amount equal to the fees payable to the Liquidity Provider under Section 2.03 of the Liquidity Facility and the related Fee Letter (as defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the then
outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Series A Equipment Notes and the denominator of which
shall be the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of all “Series A Equipment Notes” (each as
defined in the Intercreditor Agreement); (ii) (x) the amount equal to interest on any Downgrade
Advance (other than any Applied Downgrade Advance) payable under Section 3.07 of the Liquidity
Facility minus Investment Earnings from such Downgrade Advance multiplied by (y) the fraction
specified in the foregoing clause (i); (iii) (x) the amount equal to interest on any Non-Extension
Advance (other than any Applied Non-Extension Advance) payable under Section 3.07 of the Liquidity
Facility minus Investment Earnings from such Non-Extension Advance multiplied by (y) the fraction
specified in the foregoing clause (i); (iv) the amount equal to interest on any Special Termination
Advance (other than any Applied Special Termination Advance) payable under Section 3.07 of each
Liquidity Facility minus Investment Earnings from such Special Termination Advance multiplied by
the fraction specified in the foregoing clause (i); (v) if any payment default shall have occurred
and be continuing with respect to interest on any “Series A Equipment Notes” (as defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement), (x) the excess, if any, of (1) an amount equal to interest on any Unpaid
Advance, Applied Downgrade Advance or Applied Non-Extension Advance payable under Section 3.07 of
the Liquidity Facility over (2) the sum of Investment Earnings from any Final Advance plus any
amount of interest at the Payment Due Rate actually payable (whether or not in fact paid) by Owner
on the overdue scheduled interest on the “Equipment Notes” (as defined in the Intercreditor
Agreement) in respect of which such Unpaid Advance, Applied Downgrade Advance or Applied
Non-Extension Advance was made by the Liquidity Provider multiplied by (y) a fraction the numerator
of which shall be the then aggregate overdue amounts of interest on the Series A Equipment Notes
(other than interest becoming due and payable solely as a result of acceleration of any such
Equipment Notes) and the denominator of which shall be the then aggregate overdue amounts of
interest on all “Series A Equipment Notes” (other than interest becoming due and payable solely as
a result of acceleration of any such “Equipment Notes”); (vi) any other amounts owed to the
Liquidity Provider by the Subordination Agent as borrower under the Liquidity Facility multiplied
by the fraction specified in the foregoing clause (i) other than (A) amounts due as repayment of
advances thereunder or as interest on such advances, except to the extent payable pursuant to
clause (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above and (B) fees payable under Section 2.03 of the Liquidity
Facility; (vii) Owner’s pro rata share of all compensation and reimbursement of expenses,

Owner’s pro rata share of all compensation and reimbursement of expenses and disbursements payable
to the Subordination Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement except with respect to any
Unindemnified Taxes incurred by the Subordination Agent in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement. As used herein, “Owner’s pro rata share” means as of
any
time a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal balance then outstanding of Equipment
Notes and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal balance then outstanding of all
“Equipment Notes” (as such term is defined in each of the Operative Indentures). For purposes of
this paragraph, the terms “Applied Downgrade Advance”, “Applied Non-Extension Advance”, “Applied
Special Termination Advance”, “Downgrade Advance”, “Final Advance”, “Investment Earnings”,
“Non-Extension Advance”, “Special Termination Advance” and “Unpaid Advance”
11
shall have the meanings specified in the Liquidity Facility or the Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable.
The Equipment Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Owner by one of its authorized
officers. Equipment Notes bearing the signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper
officers of the Owner shall bind the Owner, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Equipment Notes
or did not hold such offices at the respective dates of such Equipment Notes. The Owner may from
time to time execute and deliver Equipment Notes with respect to the Aircraft to the Mortgagee for
authentication upon original issue and such Equipment Notes shall thereupon be authenticated and
delivered by the Mortgagee upon the written request of the Owner signed by an authorized officer of
the Owner. No Equipment Note shall be secured by or entitled to any benefit under this Trust
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purposes, unless there appears on such Equipment Note a
certificate of authentication in the form provided for herein executed by the Mortgagee by the
manual signature of one of its authorized officers and such certificate upon any Equipment Notes be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Equipment Note has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder.
SECTION 2.03. [Intentionally Omitted]
SECTION 2.04. Method of Payment
(a) The Original Amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and other amounts due
under each Equipment Note or hereunder will be payable in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately
available funds not later than 12:30 PM, New York time, on the due date of payment to the Mortgagee
at the Corporate Trust Office for distribution among the Note Holders in the manner provided
herein, and payment of such amount to the Mortgagee shall be deemed to satisfy the Owner’s
obligation to make such payment. The Owner shall not have any responsibility for the distribution
of such payment to any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any
Equipment Note to the contrary, the Mortgagee will use reasonable efforts to pay or cause to be
paid, if so directed in writing by any Note Holder (with a copy to the Owner), all amounts paid by
the Owner hereunder and under such holder’s Equipment Note or Equipment Notes to such holder or a
nominee therefor (including all amounts distributed pursuant to Article III of this Trust
Indenture) by transferring, or causing to be transferred, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds in Dollars, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date of payment, to an account
maintained by such holder with a bank located in the continental United States the amount to be
distributed to such holder, for credit to the account of such holder maintained at such bank. If
the Mortgagee shall fail to make any such payment as provided in the immediately foregoing sentence
after its receipt of funds at the place and prior to the time specified above, the Mortgagee, in
its individual 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
12
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 and accurate U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8EXP, W-8IMY or W-8ECI (or such
successor form or forms as may be required by the United States Treasury Department) that is
effective at the time a payment hereunder or under the Equipment Note(s) held by such holder is
made 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 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
13
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 United States federal 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 with respect to such Equipment Note 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 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 scheduled maturity.
14
SECTION 2.06. Termination of Interest in Collateral
No Note Holder or any other Indenture Indemnitee shall, as such, have any further interest in,
or other right with respect to, the Collateral when and if all of the Secured Obligations shall
have been paid in full.
No Related Secured Party shall have any further interest in, or other right with respect to,
the Collateral when and if all Related 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 and of the same Series, 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 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
15
required to exchange any surrendered Equipment Notes as provided above during the ten-day period
preceding the due date of any scheduled 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, (ii) agrees to
the restrictions set forth in Sections 4.1(a)(ii) 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)(ii) or 4.1(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement, and (iii) agrees to the provisions of
Section 2.7 of the Intercreditor Agreement, and shall be deemed to have covenanted to the parties
to the Intercreditor Agreement to perform its obligations as a Note Holder under Section 2.7 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 and hold 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 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.
16
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 owed or then
due and payable to the Note Holders but without Make-Whole Amount.
SECTION 2.11. Voluntary Redemptions of Equipment Notes

the unpaid Original Amount thereof, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of
redemption and all other Secured Obligations owed or then due and payable to the Note Holders plus
Make-Whole Amount, if any.
(b) All (but not less than all) of the Equipment Notes of any of the Series B or of any
particular Series of Additional Series Equipment Notes may be redeemed by the Owner upon at least

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 owed or then due and payable to the
Note Holders of such Series plus Make-Whole Amount, if any; provided that no redemption
shall be permitted under this Section 2.11(b) unless the following conditions have been satisfied:
(1) simultaneously with such redemption, the Related Series B Equipment Notes (in the case of
redemption hereunder of the Series B Equipment Notes) or the Related Additional Series Equipment
Notes in respect of the Additional Series Equipment Notes being redeemed (in the case of redemption
of any series of Additional Series Equipment Notes), as the case may be, shall also be redeemed;
and (2) simultaneously with such redemption, new Series B Equipment Notes (in the case of
redemption hereunder of the Series B Equipment Notes) or Additional Series Equipment Notes of the
same Series being redeemed (in the case of redemption hereunder of a series of Additional Series
Equipment Notes) shall be reissued in accordance with the terms of this Trust Indenture and Section
9.1(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
17
(c) Notwithstanding Section 2.11(b), all (but not less than all) of the Series B Equipment Notes may be redeemed
by the Owner upon at least 20 days’ revocable prior written notice to the Note Holders of Series B given pursuant
to Section 2.12(b) 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 owed or then due and payable to the Note
Holders of the Series B Equipment Notes, plus Make-Whole Amount, if any; provided that no such redemption shall
be permitted unless (x) simultaneously with such redemption, the Related Series B Equipment Notes shall also be
redeemed in accordance with the terms of the Related Indentures and (y) the Rating Agencies shall have provided
Ratings Confirmation with respect to any Certificates that will remain outstanding after such redemption, if such Certificates
are then rated by the Rating Agencies.
SECTION 2.12. Redemptions; Notice of Redemption
(a) No redemption of any Equipment Note may be made except to the extent and in the manner
expressly permitted by this Trust Indenture. No purchase of any Equipment Note may be made by the
Mortgagee.
(b) Notice of redemption with respect to the Equipment Notes shall be given by the Mortgagee
by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the
applicable redemption date, to each Note Holder of such Equipment Notes to be redeemed, at such
Note Holder’s address appearing in the Equipment Note Register; provided that such notice shall be

the redemption date. All notices of redemption shall state: (1) the redemption date, (2) the
applicable basis for determining the redemption price, (3) that on the redemption date, the
redemption price will become due and payable upon each such Equipment Note, and that, if any such
Equipment Notes are then outstanding, interest on such Equipment Notes shall cease to accrue on and
after such redemption date, and (4) the place or places where such Equipment Notes are to be
surrendered for payment of the redemption price. At least 10 days (unless a shorter time shall be
agreeable to Mortgagee) in advance of the date such notice of redemption is to be given by

and from and after such redemption date (unless the notice shall be revoked or provided in Section
2.12(b) or there shall be a default in the payment of the redemption price) any such Equipment
Notes then outstanding shall cease to bear interest.
18
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.
(b) By the acceptance of its Equipment Notes, each Note Holder agrees that in the event that

received in trust for the applicable Related Mortgagee and will forthwith turn over such payment to
the Mortgagee or the applicable Related Mortgagee in the form received to be applied as provided in
Article III of the applicable Related Indenture.
(d) [Reserved.]
(e) Payments on the Series B Equipment Notes will be subordinate and subject in right of
payment to the prior payment in full of the Secured Obligations in respect of the Series A
Equipment Notes. Payments on the Additional Series Equipment Notes will be subordinate and subject
in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Secured Obligations in respect of the
Series A Equipment Notes and the Series B Equipment Notes.
(f) By acceptance of its Equipment Notes of any Series, each Note Holder of such Series (i)
agrees to and shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.13, (ii) authorizes and directs

determine amounts distributable under Article III of its Related Indenture. In addition, prior to
the 90th day before the Final Payment Date, the Mortgagee shall consult with the Related Mortgagees
to determine if there are any Related Secured Obligations that have not been paid when due under

SECTION 3.07. Securities Account
In furtherance of the provisions of Section 3.03 of this Trust Indenture, WTC agrees to act as
an Eligible Institution under this Trust Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this 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 this Trust Indenture, (i) any amounts to be held by the
Mortgagee pursuant to clause “Fifth” 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
25
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 and the Related Secured
Parties as set forth in this 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 this Trust
Indenture, to give all “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.
SECTION 3.08. Payments to the Owner
Any amounts to be distributed hereunder by the Mortgagee to the Owner shall be paid to the
Owner (within the time limits contemplated by Section 2.03) by wire transfer of funds of the type
received by the Mortgagee at such office and to such account or accounts of such entity or entities
as shall be designated by notice from the Owner to the Mortgagee from time to time.

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

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
29
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, 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
30
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 Lien of this
Trust Indenture has been released, 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 Trust Indenture has been released, 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.
(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.
31
(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 Trust 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 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
32
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 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,
33
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 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 (or, in the case of subclause (B) below, a photocopy) 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
34
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;
(iii) the Owner shall have furnished to Mortgagee an opinion of Owner’s aviation law counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee and addressed to Mortgagee as to the due filing for
recordation of the Trust Indenture Supplement with respect to such Replacement Engine under the Act
or such other applicable law of the jurisdiction other than the United States in which the Aircraft
is registered in accordance with Section 4.02(e), as the case may be, and the registration with the
International Registry of (i) the International Interest granted under such Trust Indenture
Supplement with respect to such Replacement Engine and (ii) if the xxxx of sale referred to in
clause (i)(B) above constitutes a “contract of sale” under the Cape Town Treaty, such contract of
sale with respect to such Replacement Engine; and
(iv) the Owner shall have furnished to Mortgagee a certificate of a qualified aircraft
engineer (who may be an employee of Owner) certifying that such Replacement Engine has a value and
utility and remaining useful life (without regard to hours and cycles remaining until overhaul) at
least equal to the Engine so replaced (assuming that such Engine had been maintained in accordance
with this Trust Indenture).
Upon satisfaction of all conditions to such substitution, (x) the Mortgagee shall execute and
deliver to the Owner such documents and instruments, prepared at the Owner’s expense, as the Owner
shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such replaced Engine from the Lien of this
Trust Indenture, (y) the Mortgagee shall assign to the Owner all claims it may have against any
other Person relating to any Event of Loss giving rise to such substitution and (z) the Owner shall
receive all insurance proceeds (other than those reserved to others under Section 4.06(b)) and
proceeds in respect of any Event of Loss giving rise to such replacement to the extent not
previously applied to the purchase price of the Replacement Engine as provided in Section 4.05(d).
SECTION 4.05. Loss, Destruction or Requisition
(a) Event of Loss With Respect to the Airframe. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Loss with respect to the Airframe, the Owner shall promptly (and in any event within 15 days after
such occurrence) give the Mortgagee written notice of such Event of Loss. The Owner shall, within
45 days after such occurrence, give the Mortgagee written notice of Owner’s election to either
replace the Airframe as provided under Section 4.05(a)(i) or to make payment in respect of such
Event of Loss as provided under Section 4.05(a)(ii) (it being agreed that if Owner shall not have
given the Mortgagee such notice of such election within the above specified time period, the Owner
shall be deemed to have elected to make payment in respect of such Event of Loss as provided under
Section 4.05(a)(ii)):
35
(i) if Owner elects to replace the Airframe, Owner shall, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions contained in Section 4.05(c), as promptly as possible and in any event within 120 days
after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, cause to be subjected to the Lien of this Trust
Indenture, in replacement of the Airframe with respect to which the Event of Loss occurred, a
Replacement Airframe and, if any Engine shall have been installed on the Airframe when it suffered
the Event of Loss, a Replacement Engine therefor, such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines
to be free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens and to have a value, utility and remaining
useful life (without regard to hours or cycles remaining until the next regular maintenance check)
at least equal to the Airframe or Engine, as the case may be, to be replaced thereby (assuming that
such Airframe or Engine had been maintained in accordance with this Trust Indenture);
provided that if the Owner shall not perform its obligation to effect such
replacement under this clause (i) during the 120-day period of time provided herein, it shall pay
the amounts required to be paid pursuant to and within the time frame specified in clause (ii)
below; or
(ii) if Owner elects to make a payment in respect of such Event of Loss of the Airframe, Owner
shall make a payment to the Mortgagee for purposes of redeeming Equipment Notes in accordance with
Section 2.10 hereof on a date on or before the Business Day next following the earlier of (x) the
120th day following the date of the occurrence of such Event of Loss, and (y) the fourth Business
Day following the receipt of insurance proceeds with respect to such Event of Loss (but in any
event not earlier than the date of Owner’s election under Section 4.05(a) to make payment under
this Section 4.05 (a)(ii)); and upon such payment and payment of all other Secured Obligations then
due and payable, the Mortgagee shall, at the cost and expense of the Owner, release from the Lien
of this Trust Indenture the Airframe and the Engines, by executing and delivering to the Owner all
documents and instruments as the Owner may reasonably request to evidence such release.
(b) Effect of Replacement. Should the Owner have provided a Replacement Airframe and
Replacement Engines, if any, as provided for in Section 4.05(a)(i), (i) the Lien of this Trust
Indenture shall continue with respect to such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any,
as though no Event of Loss had occurred; (ii) the Mortgagee shall, at the cost and expense of the
Owner, release from the Lien of this Trust Indenture the replaced Airframe and Engines, if any, by
executing and delivering to the Owner such documents and instruments as the Owner may reasonably
request to evidence such release; and (iii) in the case of a replacement upon an Event of Loss, the
Mortgagee shall assign to the Owner all claims the Mortgagee may have against any other Person
arising from the Event of Loss and the Owner shall receive all insurance proceeds (other than those
reserved to others under Section 4.06(b)) and proceeds from any award in respect of condemnation,
confiscation, seizure or requisition, including any investment interest thereon, to the extent not
previously applied to the purchase price of the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if
any, as provided in Section 4.05(d).
(c) Conditions to Airframe and Engine Replacement. The Owner’s right to substitute a
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, as provided in Section 4.05(a)(i) shall be
subject to the fulfillment, at the Owner’s sole cost and expense, in addition to the conditions
contained in such Section 4.05(a)(i), of the following conditions precedent:
36
(i) on the date when the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, is subjected to
the Lien of this Trust Indenture (such date being referred to in this Section 4.05 as the
“Replacement Closing Date”), an executed counterpart of each of the following documents (or, in the
case of the FAA Xxxx of Sale and full warranty xxxx of sale referred to below, a photocopy thereof)
shall have been delivered to the Mortgagee:
(A) a Trust Indenture Supplement covering the Replacement Airframe and
Replacement Engines, if any, which shall have been duly filed for recordation

satisfactory to the Mortgagee); and
(D) UCC financing statements (or any similar statements or other documents
required to be filed or delivered pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which
the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, may be registered in
accordance with Section 4.02(e)) as are deemed necessary or desirable by counsel for
the Mortgagee to protect the security interests of the Mortgagee in the Replacement
Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any;
(ii) the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, shall be of the same model as
the Airframe or Engines, as the case may be, or an improved model of such aircraft or engines of
the manufacturer thereof, shall have a value, utility and remaining useful life(without regard to
hours or cycles remaining until the next regular maintenance check) at least equal to, and be in as
good operating condition and repair as, the Airframe and any Engines replaced (assuming such
Airframe and Engines had been maintained in accordance with this Trust Indenture);
(iii) the Mortgagee (acting directly or by authorization to its special counsel) shall have
received satisfactory evidence as to the compliance with Section 4.06 with respect to the
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any;

(v) the Mortgagee at the expense of the Owner, shall have received (acting directly or by
authorization to its special counsel) (A) an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Mortgagee, to the
effect that the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engine, if any, has or have duly been made
subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, and Mortgagee will be entitled to the benefits of
Section 1110 with respect to the Replacement Airframe, provided that such opinion with respect to
Section 1110 need not be delivered to the extent that immediately prior to such replacement the
benefits of Section 1110 were not, solely by reason of a change in law or court interpretation
thereof, available to Mortgagee, and (B) an opinion of Owner’s aviation law counsel reasonably
satisfactory to and addressed to Mortgagee as to the due registration of any such Replacement

Indenture).
(d) Non-Insurance Payments Received on Account of an Event of Loss. Any amounts,
other than insurance proceeds in respect of damage or loss not constituting an Event of Loss (the
application of which is provided for in Annex B), received at any time by Mortgagee or Owner from
any Government Entity or any other Person in respect of any Event of Loss will be applied as
follows:
(i) If such amounts are received with respect to the Airframe, and any Engine
installed thereon at the time of such Event of Loss, upon compliance by Owner with
the applicable terms of Section 4.05(c) with respect to the Event of Loss for which
such amounts are received, such amounts shall be paid over to, or retained by,
Owner;
(ii) If such amounts are received with respect to an Engine (other than an
Engine installed on the Airframe at the time such Airframe suffers an Event of
Loss), upon compliance by Owner with the applicable terms of Section 4.04(e)
38
with respect to the Event of Loss for which such amounts are received, such amounts shall
be paid over to, or retained by, Owner;
(iii) If such amounts are received, in whole or in part, with respect to the
Airframe, and Owner makes, has made or is deemed to have made the election set forth

first, if the sum described in Section 4.05(a)(ii) has not then been
paid in full by Owner, such amounts shall be paid to Mortgagee to the extent
necessary to pay in full such sum; and
second, the remainder, if any, shall be paid to Owner.
(e) Requisition for Use. In the event of a requisition for use by any Government
Entity of the Airframe and the Engines, if any, or engines installed on such Airframe while such
Airframe is subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, the Owner shall promptly notify the
Mortgagee of such requisition and all of the Owner’s obligations under this Trust Indenture shall
continue to the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred except to the extent that the
performance or observance of any obligation by the Owner shall have been prevented or delayed by
such requisition; provided that the Owner’s obligations under this Section 4.05
with respect to the occurrence of an Event of Loss for the payment of money and under Section 4.06
(except while an assumption of liability by the U.S. Government of the scope referred to in Section
4.02(c) is in effect) shall not be reduced or delayed by such requisition. Any payments received
by the Mortgagee or the Owner or Permitted Lessee from such Government Entity with respect to such
requisition of use shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Owner. In the event of an Event of
Loss of an Engine resulting from the requisition for use by a Government Entity of such Engine (but
not the Airframe), the Owner will replace such Engine hereunder by complying with the terms of
Section 4.04(e) and any payments received by the Mortgagee or the Owner from such Government Entity
with respect to such requisition shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Owner.
(f) Certain Payments to be Held As Security. Any amount referred to in this Section
4.05 or Section 4.06 which is payable or creditable to, or retainable by, the Owner shall not be
paid or credited to, or retained by the Owner if at the time of such payment, credit or retention a
Special Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be paid to
and held by the Mortgagee as security for the obligations of the Owner under this Trust Indenture
and the Operative Agreements, and at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Special
Default or Event of Default such amount and any gain realized as a result of investments required
to be made pursuant to Section 6.06 shall to the extent not theretofore applied as provided herein,
be paid over to the Owner.
SECTION 4.06. Insurance
(a) Owner’s Obligation to Insure. Owner shall comply with, or cause to be complied
with, each of the provisions of Annex B, which provisions are hereby incorporated by this reference
as if set forth in full herein.
39
(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 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, 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 person, 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 if, and so long as, such status is a condition
of entitlement to the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Aircraft;
(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,
40
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 such person makes such filings and
recordings, if any, with the International Registry, to reflect such change as may be necessary.
(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. In the event of any such conveyance, transfer or
lease, the Company or any successor Person that shall have become such in the manner prescribed in
this Section 4.07 shall be released and discharged from its liability in respect of this Trust
Indenture and the Equipment Certificates and may be dissolved and liquidated.
ARTICLE V
EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES OF MORTGAGEE
SECTION 5.01. Event of Default
“Event of Default” means any of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of
Default and whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or come about or be effected by
operation of Law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or
any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

the Mortgagee;
(iii) Owner shall fail to observe or perform (or caused to be observed and performed) in any
material respect any other covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or in any other

period of 60 days from and after the date of written notice thereof to Owner from Mortgagee, unless
such failure is capable of being corrected and Owner
41
shall be diligently proceeding to correct such
failure, in which case there shall be no Event of Default unless and until such failure shall
continue unremedied for a period of 360 days after receipt of such notice;
(iv) any representation or warranty made by Owner herein, in the Participation Agreement or in
any other Operative Agreement to which Owner is a party (a) shall prove to have been untrue or

provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.01,
any failure of Owner to perform or observe any covenant, condition, agreement or any error in a
representation or warranty shall not constitute an Event of Default if such failure or error is
caused solely by reason of any event that constitutes an Event of Loss so long as Owner is
continuing to comply with all of the terms of Section 4.04(e) and Section 4.05 hereof.
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 by any other applicable Law (including the Cape Town Treaty, to the extent applicable) 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 (20)
days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell the Aircraft. Without limiting any of the
foregoing, it is 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 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
43
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.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, (i) so long as the Pass Through Trustee under
any Pass Through Trust Agreement (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, and (ii) the Mortgagee will not take any
action that would violate Section 4.1(a)(ii) or 4.1(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
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.
44
(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 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.
45
SECTION 5.06. Waiver of Past Defaults
Upon written instruction from a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, the Mortgagee shall
waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences and upon any such waiver such Default shall
cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for
every purpose of this Trust Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided, that in the absence of written
instructions from all the Note Holders, the Mortgagee shall not waive any Default (i) in the
payment of the Original Amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest and other amounts due under
any Equipment Note then outstanding, or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which,
under Article X hereof, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Note Holder.
SECTION 5.07. Appointment of Receiver
The Mortgagee shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver (who
may be the Mortgagee or any successor or nominee thereof) for all or any part of the Collateral
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether such receivership
be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or the taking of possession thereof or
otherwise, and the Owner hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose
any such appointment. Any receiver appointed for all or any part of the Collateral shall be
entitled to exercise all the rights and powers of the Mortgagee with respect to the Collateral.
SECTION 5.08. Mortgagee Authorized to Execute Bills of Sale, Etc.
The Owner irrevocably appoints, while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Owner (which appointment is coupled with an
interest) 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 Trust Indenture, whether
pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale, assignments and other instruments as may be necessary or
appropriate, with full power of substitution, the Owner hereby ratifying and confirming all that
such attorney or any substitute shall do by virtue hereof in accordance with applicable law.
Nevertheless, if so requested by the Mortgagee or any purchaser, the Owner shall ratify and confirm any such sale, assignment, transfer or delivery,
by executing and delivering to the Mortgagee 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.
SECTION 5.09. Rights of Note Holders to Receive Payment
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Indenture, the right of any Note Holder to
receive payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on an Equipment Note on or after
the respective due dates expressed in such Equipment Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of
any such payment on or after such respective dates in accordance with the terms hereof, shall not
be impaired or affected without the consent of such Note Holder.
46
ARTICLE VI
DUTIES OF THE MORTGAGEE
SECTION 6.01. Notice of Event of Default
If the Mortgagee shall have Actual Knowledge of an Event of Default or of a Default arising
from a failure to pay any installment of principal and interest on any Equipment Note, the
Mortgagee shall give prompt written notice thereof to each Note Holder. Subject to the terms of
Sections 5.06, 6.02 and 6.03 hereof, the Mortgagee shall take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default (including with respect to the
exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder) as the Mortgagee shall be instructed in writing by a
Majority in Interest of Note Holders. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, if the Mortgagee
shall not have received instructions as above provided within 20 days after mailing notice of such
Event of Default to the Note Holders, the Mortgagee may, subject to instructions thereafter
received pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 6.01, take such action, or refrain
from taking such action, but shall be under no duty to take or refrain from taking any action, with
respect to such Event of Default or Default as it shall determine advisable in the best interests
of the Note Holders; provided, however, that the Mortgagee may not sell the
Aircraft or any Engine without the consent of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders. For all
purposes of this Trust Indenture, in the absence of Actual Knowledge on the part of the Mortgagee,
the Mortgagee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default or an Event of Default (except the
failure of Owner to pay any installment of principal or interest within one Business Day after the
same shall become due, which failure shall constitute knowledge of a Default) unless notified in
writing by the Owner or one or more Note Holders.
SECTION 6.02. Action Upon Instructions; Certain Rights and Limitations
Subject to the terms of Sections 5.02(a), 5.06, 6.01 and 6.03 hereof, upon the written
instructions at any time and from time to time of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, the
Mortgagee shall, subject to the terms of this Section 6.02, take such of the following actions as
may be specified in such instructions: (i) give such notice or direction or exercise such right,
remedy or power hereunder as shall be specified in such instructions and (ii) give such notice or
direction or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder with respect to any part of the
Collateral as shall be specified in such instructions; it being understood that without the written
instructions of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, the Mortgagee shall not, except as provided
in Section 6.01, approve any such matter as satisfactory to the Mortgagee.
The Mortgagee will execute and the Owner will file such continuation statements with respect
to financing statements relating to the security interest created hereunder in the Collateral as
may be specified from time to time in written instructions of a Majority in Interest of Note
Holders (which instructions shall be accompanied by the form of such continuation statement so to
be filed). The Mortgagee will furnish to each Note Holder, promptly upon receipt thereof,
duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests, demands, certificates and other instruments
furnished to the Mortgagee hereunder.
47
SECTION 6.03. Indemnification
The Mortgagee shall not be required to take any action or refrain from taking any action under
Section 6.01 (other than the first sentence thereof), 6.02 or Article V hereof unless the Mortgagee
shall have been indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against any liability, cost or expense
(including counsel fees) which may be incurred in connection therewith pursuant to a written
agreement with one or more Note Holders. The Mortgagee agrees that it shall look solely to the
Note Holders for the satisfaction of any indemnity (except expenses for foreclosure of the type
referred to in clause “First” of Section 3.03 hereof) owed to it pursuant to this Section 6.03.
The Mortgagee shall not be under any obligation to take any action under this Trust Indenture or
any other Operative Agreement and nothing herein or therein shall require the Mortgagee to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur the risk of any financial liability in the performance of
any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of
such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it
(the written indemnity of any Note Holder who is a QIB, signed by an authorized officer thereof, in
favor of, delivered to and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee shall be accepted as
reasonable assurance of adequate indemnity). The Mortgagee shall not be required to take any
action under Section 6.01 (other than the first sentence thereof) or 6.02 or Article V hereof, nor
shall any other provision of this Trust Indenture or any other Operative Agreement be deemed to
impose a duty on the Mortgagee to take any action, if the 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
The Mortgagee shall not have any duty or obligation to use, operate, store, lease, control,
manage, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the Collateral,
or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Trust
Indenture or any part of the Collateral, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Trust
Indenture or as expressly provided in written instructions from Note Holders as provided in this
Trust Indenture; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Trust Indenture
against the Mortgagee. The Mortgagee 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
Section 8.01 hereof), promptly take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge all Liens on
any part of the Collateral which result from claims against it in its individual capacity not
related to the administration of the Collateral or any other transaction pursuant to this Trust
Indenture or any document included in the Collateral.
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.
48
SECTION 6.06. Investment of Amounts Held by Mortgagee
Any amounts held by the Mortgagee pursuant to Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.07 or pursuant to any
provision of any other Operative Agreement providing for amounts to be held by the Mortgagee which
are not distributed pursuant to the other provisions of Article III hereof shall be invested by the
Mortgagee from time to time in Cash Equivalents as directed by the Owner so long as the Mortgagee
may acquire the same using its best efforts. All Cash Equivalents held by the Mortgagee pursuant
to this Section 6.06 shall either be (a) registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or
specially endorsed to, the Mortgagee, or (b) held in an Eligible Account. Unless otherwise
expressly provided in this Trust Indenture, any income realized as a result of any such investment,
net of the Mortgagee’s reasonable fees and expenses in making such investment, shall be held and
applied by the Mortgagee 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 Mortgagee shall not be liable for any loss resulting
from any investment required to be made by it under this Trust Indenture other than by reason of
its willful misconduct or negligence in the handling of funds, and any such investment may be sold
(without regard to its maturity) by the Mortgagee without instructions whenever such sale is
necessary to make a distribution required by this Trust Indenture.

its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (other than for the handling of funds actually
received by it in accordance with the terms of the Operative Agreements or the Pass Through
Agreements, for which the standard of accountability shall be willful misconduct or negligence),

any such registration, recording or filing, (ii) to see to any insurance on the Aircraft or to
effect or maintain any such insurance, whether or not Owner shall be in default with respect
thereto, (iii) to see to the payment or discharge of any Lien of any kind against any
49
part of the
Collateral, (iv) to confirm, verify or inquire into the failure to receive any financial statements

SECTION 7.03. No Representations or Warranties as to Aircraft or Documents
THE MORTGAGEE IN ITS INDIVIDUAL OR TRUST CAPACITY DOES NOT MAKE AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO

validity, legality or enforceability of this Trust Indenture, the Participation Agreement, the
Equipment Notes, or the Purchase Agreement, or as to the correctness of any statement contained in
any thereof, except for the representations and warranties of the Mortgagee in its individual

Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.07 hereof, any monies paid to or retained by the
Mortgagee pursuant to any provision hereof and not then required to be distributed to the Note
Holders, or the Owner as provided in Article III hereof need not be segregated in any manner except
to the extent required by Law or Section 6.06 hereof, and may be deposited under such general
conditions as may be prescribed by Law, and the Mortgagee shall not be liable for any interest
thereon (except that the Mortgagee shall invest all monies held as directed by Owner so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or in the absence of such direction, by the
Majority in Interest of Note Holders) in Cash Equivalents; provided, however, that
any payments received, or applied hereunder, by the Mortgagee shall be accounted for by the
Mortgagee so that any portion thereof paid or applied pursuant hereto shall be identifiable as to
the source thereof.
SECTION 7.05. Reliance; Agreements; Advice of Counsel
The Mortgagee shall not incur any liability to anyone in acting upon any signature,
instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or
other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper
party or parties. The Mortgagee may accept a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors (or
Executive Committee thereof) of the Owner, certified by the Secretary or an
50
Assistant Secretary
thereof as duly adopted and in full force and effect, as conclusive evidence that such resolution
has been duly adopted and that the same is in full force and effect. As to the aggregate unpaid
Original Amount of Equipment Notes outstanding as of any date, the Owner may for all purposes
hereof rely on a certificate signed by any Vice President or other authorized corporate trust
officer of the Mortgagee. As to any fact or matter relating to the Owner the manner of the
ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Mortgagee may for all purposes
hereof rely on an Officer’s Certificate of the Owner as to such fact or matter, and such
certificate shall constitute full protection to the Mortgagee for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon. In the administration of the trusts hereunder, the
Mortgagee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform its powers and duties
hereunder directly or through agents or attorneys and may, at the expense of the Collateral, advise
with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it, and the

extent that such compensation shall not be paid by Owner, and shall have the right, on and
subsequent to an Event of Default hereunder, to use or apply any monies held by it hereunder in the
Collateral toward such payments. The Mortgagee agrees that it shall have no right against the Note
Holders for any fee as compensation for its services as trustee under this Trust Indenture.
SECTION 7.07. Instructions from Note Holders
In the administration of the trusts created hereunder, the Mortgagee shall have the right to
seek instructions from a Majority in Interest of Note Holders should any provision of this Trust
Indenture appear to conflict with any other provision herein or should the Mortgagee’s duties or

(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 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 continental United States 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.
(d) Any corporation into which the Mortgagee may be merged or converted or with which it may
be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Mortgagee shall be a party, or any corporation to which
52
substantially all the corporate trust
business of the Mortgagee may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of paragraph (c) of this
Section 9.01, be a successor Mortgagee and the Mortgagee under this Trust Indenture without further
act.
(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 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
53
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, 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.

ANNEX B — INSURANCE | ||
TRUST INDENTURE N259WN |
ANNEX B
INSURANCE
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth or
incorporated by reference in Annex A to the Trust Indenture.
A. Liability Insurance
1. Except as provided in Section A.2 below, Owner will carry or cause to be carried at all
times, at no expense to Mortgagee, comprehensive airline legal liability (including, but not
limited to passenger liability, property damage, baggage liability, cargo and mail liability,
hangarkeeper’s liability and contractual liability insurance, but excluding manufacturer’s product
liability coverage) with respect to the Aircraft, the Airframe and the Engines, which is (i) in an
amount not less than the greater of (x) the amount of comprehensive airline legal liability
insurance from time to time applicable to aircraft owned or leased and operated by Owner of the
same type and operating on similar routes as the Aircraft and (y) the Minimum Liability Insurance
Amount per occurrence; (ii) of the type and covering the same risks as from time to time applicable
to aircraft operated by Owner of the same type as the Aircraft; and (iii) maintained in effect with
insurers of nationally or internationally recognized responsibility (such insurers being referred
to herein as “Approved Insurers”).
2. During any period that the Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation, Owner may carry
or cause to be carried, in lieu of the insurance required by Section A.1 above, insurance otherwise
conforming with the provisions of said Section A.1 except that (i) the amounts of coverage shall
not be required to exceed the amounts of public liability and property damage insurance from time
to time applicable to aircraft owned or operated by Owner of the same type as the Aircraft which
are on the ground and not in operation and (ii) the scope of the risks covered and the type of
insurance shall be the same as from time to time shall be applicable to aircraft owned or operated
by Owner of the same type which are on the ground and not in operation.
X. Xxxx Insurance
1. Except as provided in Section B.2 below, Owner will carry or cause to be carried at all
times, at no expense to Mortgagee, with Approved Insurers “all-risk” ground and flight aircraft
hull insurance covering each Aircraft (including the Engines when they are installed on the
Airframe or any other airframe) which is of the type as from time to time applicable to aircraft
owned by Owner of the same type as the Aircraft for an amount denominated in United States Dollars
not less than the unpaid Original Amount together with six months of interest accrued thereon (the
“Debt Balance”).
Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Section B.1 or Section C covering
the Aircraft and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies (i)
shall name Mortgagee as exclusive loss payee for any proceeds to be paid under such policies up to
an amount equal to the Debt Balance and (ii) shall provide that (A) in the event of a loss
involving proceeds in excess of the Threshold Amount, the proceeds in respect of such
loss up to an amount equal to the Debt Balance shall be payable to the Mortgagee, except in the case of a loss
with respect to an Engine installed on an airframe other than the Airframe, in which case Owner (or
any Permitted Lessee) shall endeavor to arrange for any payment of insurance proceeds in respect of
such loss to be held for the account of the Mortgagee whether such payment is made to Owner (or any
Permitted Lessee) or any third party, it being understood and agreed that in the case of any
payment to Mortgagee otherwise than in respect of an Event of Loss, the Mortgagee shall, upon
receipt of evidence satisfactory to it that the damage giving rise to such payment shall have been
repaired or that such payment shall then be required to pay for repairs then being made, pay the
amount of such payment to Owner or its order, and (B) the entire amount of any loss involving
proceeds of the Threshold Amount or less or the amount of any proceeds of any loss in excess of the
Debt Balance shall be paid to Owner or its order unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing and the insurers have been notified thereof by the Mortgagee. In the case of a loss
with respect to an engine (other than an Engine) installed on the Airframe, Mortgagee shall hold
any payment to it of any insurance proceeds in respect of such loss for the account of Owner or any
other third party that is entitled to receive such proceeds.
2. During any period that the Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation, Owner may carry
or cause to be carried, in lieu of the insurance required by Section B.1 above, insurance otherwise
conforming with the provisions of said Section B.1 except that the scope of the risks and the type
of insurance shall be the same as from time to time applicable to aircraft owned by Owner of the
same type similarly on the ground and not in operation, provided that Owner shall maintain
insurance against risk of loss or damage to the Aircraft in an amount equal to the Debt Balance
during such period that the Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation.
C. War-Risk, Hijacking and Allied Perils Insurance
If Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) shall at any time operate or propose to operate the
Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine (i) in any area of recognized hostilities or (ii) on international
routes and war-risk, hijacking or allied perils insurance is maintained by Owner (or any Permitted
Lessee) with respect to other aircraft owned or operated by Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) on such
routes or in such areas, Owner shall maintain or cause to be maintained war-risk, hijacking and
related perils insurance of substantially the same type carried by major United States commercial
air carriers operating the same or comparable models of aircraft on similar routes or in such areas
and in no event in an amount less than the unpaid Original Amount.
D. General Provisions
Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with Sections A, B and C, including any
policies taken out in substitution or replacement for such policies:
(i) in the case of Section A, shall name Mortgagee, each Note Holder, each Related
Mortgagee, each Related Note Holder and the Liquidity Provider as an additional insured
(collectively, the “Additional Insureds”), as its interests may appear;
(ii) shall apply worldwide and have no territorial restrictions or limitations (except
only in the case of war, hijacking and related perils insurance required under
2
Section C, which shall apply to the fullest extent available in the international insurance market);
(iii) shall provide that, in respect of the interests of the Additional Insureds in
such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated or impaired by any act or omission
(including misrepresentation and nondisclosure) by Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) or any
other Person (including, without limitation, use for illegal purposes of the Aircraft or any
Engine) and shall insure the Additional Insureds regardless of any breach or violation of
any representation, warranty, declaration, term or condition contained in such policies by
Owner (or any Permitted Lessee);
(iv) shall provide that, if the insurers cancel such insurance for any reason
whatsoever, or if the same is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, or if any material
change is made in the insurance which adversely affects the interest of any of the
Additional Insureds, such cancellation, lapse or change shall not be effective as to the
Additional Insureds for 30 (seven days in the case of war risk, hijacking and allied perils
insurance) days after receipt by the Additional Insureds of written notice by such insurers
of such cancellation, lapse or change, provided that if any notice period specified
above is not reasonably obtainable, such policies shall provide for as long a period of
prior notice as shall then be reasonably obtainable;
(v) shall waive any rights of setoff (including for unpaid premiums), recoupment,
counterclaim or other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, against each Additional
Insured;
(vi) shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may
be available to any Additional Insured;
(vii) shall provide that all of the liability insurance provisions thereof, except the
limits of liability and agreed value, shall operate in all respects as if a separate policy
had been issued covering each party insured thereunder;
(viii) shall provide that none of the Additional Insureds shall be liable for any
insurance premium; and
(ix) shall contain a 50/50% Clause per Lloyd’s Aviation Underwriters’ Association
Standard Policy Form AVS 103.
E. Reports and Certificates; Other Information
On or prior to the Closing Date and on or prior to each renewal date of the insurance policies
required hereunder, Owner will furnish or cause to be furnished to Mortgagee insurance certificates describing in reasonable detail the insurance maintained by Owner hereunder and a
report, signed by Owner’s regularly retained independent insurance broker (the “Insurance Broker”),
stating the opinion of such Insurance Broker that (a) all premiums in connection with the insurance
then due have been paid and (b) such insurance complies with the terms of this Annex B, except that
such opinion shall not be required with respect to war risk insurance
3
provided by the FAA. To the extent such agreement is reasonably obtainable Owner will also cause the Insurance Broker to agree
to advise Mortgagee in writing of any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or
omission on the part of Owner of which it has knowledge and which might invalidate or render
unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the Aircraft or Engines or cause the
cancellation or termination of such insurance, and to advise Mortgagee in writing at least 30 days
(seven days in the case of war-risk and allied perils coverage or such shorter period as may be
available in the international insurance market, as the case may be) prior to the cancellation,
lapse or material adverse change of any insurance maintained pursuant to this Annex B.
F. Right to Pay Premiums
The Additional Insureds shall have the rights but not the obligations of an additional named
insured. None of Mortgagee and the other Additional Insured shall have any obligation to pay any
premium, commission, assessment or call due on any such insurance (including reinsurance).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of cancellation of any insurance due to the nonpayment
of premiums, Mortgagee shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to pay any such premium in
respect of the Aircraft that is due in respect of the coverage pursuant to this Trust Indenture and
to maintain such coverage, as Mortgagee may require, until the scheduled expiry date of such
insurance and, in such event, Owner shall, upon demand, reimburse Mortgagee for amounts so paid by
them.
G. Deductibles; Self-insurance
Owner may self-insure with respect to the Aircraft to the same extent as it does with respect
to, or maintain policies with deductibles or premium adjustment provisions consistent with similar
provisions applicable to, other comparable aircraft operated by Owner; provided,
however, that if at any time Owner’s unsecured senior long-term debt securities are not
rated “Investment Grade”, such self-insurance shall in no case be in amounts greater than that
amount of self-insurance carried by airlines similarly situated with Owner and operating aircraft
similar to the Aircraft on similar routes; and provided further that, in the case
of public liability insurance, such self-insurance shall in no event exceed $50,000,000. The term
“Investment Grade” means a rating of “Baa3” or higher from Xxxxx’x or a rating from any other
nationally recognized bond rating service equivalent to or better than such a rating.
