shall have been made in accordance with the terms of such Operative
Agreement; and
(c) after application in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this Section 2.01, or to the extent received from the Indenture Trustee
under the terms of the Indenture, the balance, if any, remaining shall be
paid to the Trustor.
Section 2.02. Excepted Payments. All Excepted Payments at any time

be paid over to the Indenture Trustee without deduction, set off or adjustment
of any kind) for distribution in accordance with the provisions of Article V
of the Indenture; and following such application or release of Lien, any such
payment for which provision as to the application thereof is made in the other
Operative Agreements shall be applied promptly to the purpose for which such
payment shall have been made in accordance with the terms of the other
Operative Agreements, and any such payment received by the Owner Trustee for
which no provision as to the application thereof is made in the Operative
Agreements or in this Article 2 shall, unless the Trustor shall have otherwise
instructed the Owner Trustee in writing, be distributed promptly to the
Trustor.
Section 2.04. Distributions after Default. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.02 hereof, (i) all payments received and amounts
realized by the Owner Trustee after an Indenture Event of Default shall have

the Trustor from the exercise of any remedies pursuant to Section 17.01 of the

Owner Trustee as part of this Trust Agreement, the Lease or otherwise, shall be
distributed to the Indenture Trustee.

thereof (including, without limitation, all payments received pursuant to
Section 17.01 of the Lease and amounts realized upon the sale or lease of
the Aircraft or any part thereof after the termination of the Lease with
respect thereto), to the extent received or realized at any time after the
Lien of the Indenture shall have been released pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture, and
(b) moneys not included in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.05
remaining as part of the Lessor's Estate after payment in full of amounts
described in paragraph (a),

reimbursement for all expenses hereunder or under the Lease not theretofore
reimbursed under this Agreement, the Lease or otherwise and to which the Owner
Trustee is entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to the provisions thereof, and
any balance remaining thereafter shall be distributed to the Trustor.

funds to be transferred by wire transfer on the same day as received, but in
any case not later than the next succeeding Business Day), and (ii) the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article 2 by paying the amount to be
distributed to the Indenture Trustee in the manner specified in the Indenture;
provided, that the Owner Trustee shall invest overnight, for the benefit of
the Trustor, in investments that would be permitted by Article 23 of the Lease
(but only to the extent funds are received on or prior to 1:00 P.M. (Eastern
Time) and such investments are available and, if such investments are not
available to the Owner Trustee, in investments which, after consultation with
the Trustor, the Trustor shall direct) all funds not transferred by wire
transfer on the same day as they were received. Notwithstanding the foregoing

Indenture, the Owner Trustee will, if so requested by the Trustor by written
notice, pay any and all amounts payable by the Owner Trustee hereunder to the
Trustor either (i) by crediting, or causing the Indenture Trustee to credit,

hereby created and, subject to Section 1.03 hereof, in its capacity as the
Owner Trustee agrees to perform the same, including without limitation,
subject to Section 1.03 hereof, the actions specified in Section 1.01 hereof
as herein provided. The Owner Trustee agrees to disburse all monies that it

The Owner Trustee shall not be answerable or accountable in its individual
capacity except as a result of or arising from (a) the Owner Trustee's willful
misconduct or gross negligence (in its individual capacity or as trustee), (b)
any breach by the Owner Trustee of its representations, warranties and
covenants given in its individual capacity in this Agreement, Article 5 of the
Lease, Sections 7.01(c), 7.02(a) and (b) and 7.04 of the Participation
Agreement or its representations, warranties and covenants given in its
individual capacity in Section 3.05 of the Indenture or elsewhere in the

possess, use, sell, lease, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Aircraft,
Airframe, Engines, any Part thereof or any other property at any time
constituting a part of the Lessor's Estate, or otherwise to take or refrain
from taking any action under or in connection with the Operative Agreements,
except (i) to execute and deliver the Operative Agreements, (ii) to exercise
and carry out or cause to be exercised or carried out the rights, duties and
obligations of the Owner Trustee hereunder and under the other Operative

nothing in this Section 3.02 shall limit in any manner the obligation of the
Owner Trustee to perform and observe all the terms of the Operative Agreements
or the obligations of the Owner Trustee under this Agreement.
Section 3.03. Notice of Default. In the event that a Responsible
Officer in the Corporate Trust Administration of the Owner Trustee shall have
actual knowledge of a Default or an Event of Default, or an Indenture Default
or an Indenture Event of Default, the Owner Trustee shall give or cause to be

Owner Trustee may take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Default, Event of Default, Indenture Default or Indenture
Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the
Trustor; provided, that the Owner Trustee shall be under no duty to take or
refrain from taking any such action in the event the Owner Trustee shall not
have received instructions from the Trustor. For all purposes of this
Agreement and the Lease, in the absence of actual knowledge of a Responsible
Officer of the Owner Trustee, the Owner Trustee shall not be deemed to have

(including the discharge of Liens and encumbrances) as may be specified in
such instructions;
(c) approve as satisfactory to it all matters required by the terms
of the Operative Agreements to be satisfactory to the Owner Trustee (it
being understood that without written instructions of the Trustor, the
Owner Trustee shall not approve any matter as satisfactory to it), except
such approvals as may be required with respect to the Trustor's transfer of
its Beneficial Interest pursuant to Article 5;
(d) upon or after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term
of the Lease, convey in accordance with such instructions, the Aircraft and
all of the Owner Trustee's right, title and interest in and to the Aircraft

purchasers as shall be designated in such instructions, or retain, lease or
otherwise dispose of the Aircraft or any part thereof as shall be specified
in such instructions;

statement with respect to any such financing statement) or any other similar
document relating to the Lessor's Estate or the security interests and
assignments created by the Operative Agreements, as may be specified in
such instructions (which instructions shall be accompanied by an execution
form of such financing statement or such continuation statement, as the
case may be); and
(f) any other action as specified by the Trustor.
Section 3.05. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Owner Trustee.
(a)(i) The Owner Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth herein, and with the degree of care
specified in Section 3.01 hereof, and in accordance with instructions given by
the Trustor hereunder, and no implied duties, covenants or obligations shall
be read into this Agreement, any such instructions or the Operative Agreements
against the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee agrees that it will not
manage, control, possess, use, sell, lease, dispose of or otherwise deal with
the Aircraft or any part of the Lessor's Estate except as required by the
terms of the Operative Agreements, any such instructions and as otherwise
provided herein; and
(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Owner Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to
the Owner Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement or
the other Operative Agreements, but in the case of any such certificates or
opinions which by any provisions hereof or thereof are specifically
required to be furnished to the Owner Trustee, the Owner Trustee shall be
under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform
to the requirements of this Trust Agreement or the Operative Agreements.
(b) No provision hereof shall require SSB in its individual capacity
to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in
the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability
is not reasonably assured to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SSB agrees in
its individual capacity that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly
take such action as may be necessary to discharge duly all Lessor's Liens
attributable to it in its individual capacity and will claim no indemnity
therefor hereunder, or under the Participation Agreement or any Operative
Agreement.
(c) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of
this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Owner Trustee shall be subject to the provisions
of this Section 3.05, except that in the event of a conflict between this
Section 3.05 and Section 3.01 hereof, Section 3.01 hereof shall be controlling.
(d) The Owner Trustee will furnish to the Trustor, promptly upon
receipt thereof, duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests,
demands, certificates, financial statements and any other instruments
furnished to the Owner Trustee hereunder or under the other Operative
Agreements or the Original Agreements (including those furnished to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Indenture) and not otherwise
furnished to the Trustor.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Owner Trustee
shall not be authorized and shall have no power to "vary the investment" of the
Trustor within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(c)(1),
it being understood that the Owner Trustee shall have the power and authority
to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.06 hereof and Article 23 of the
Lease.
Section 3.06. Certain Rights of Owner Trustee. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 3.05 hereof:
(a) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Owner Trustee may
rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, direction, consent, order or other paper or document reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties;
(b) any request, direction or authorization by the Trustor or any
other party to any other Operative Agreement shall be sufficiently
evidenced by a request, direction or authorization in writing, delivered to
the Owner Trustee, and signed in the name of such party by any of the
Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President, the Treasurer or
Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or Assistant Secretary or other duly
authorized officer of such party; and any resolution of the Board of
Directors or committee thereof of such party shall be sufficiently
evidenced by a copy of such resolution certified by the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of such party, to have been duly adopted and to be in
full force and effect on the date of such certification, and delivered to
the Owner Trustee;
(c) whenever in the administration of this Agreement the Owner Trustee
shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder or under any of the
other Operative Agreements, the Owner Trustee (unless other evidence be
herein or therein specifically prescribed), absent actual knowledge of a
Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee to the contrary, may rely in good
faith upon a certificate in writing, delivered to the Owner Trustee and
signed by any of the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice
President, the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or
Assistant Secretary of the Lessee, the Trustor, or the Indenture Trustee
and notice of such need for such proof or establishment shall be delivered
to the Trustor, who may advise the Owner Trustee in respect of such matter
and the Owner Trustee shall act in conformity with such advice;
(d) the Owner Trustee may exercise its powers and perform its duties
by or through such attorneys, agents and servants as it shall appoint with
due care, and it shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel
reasonably selected by it with due care and shall be protected by the
advice of such counsel in anything done or omitted to be done in accordance
with such advice;
(e) the Owner Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any
action under this Agreement or under any of the other Operative Agreements
at the request or direction of the Trustor unless the Persons making such
request or direction shall have offered to the Owner Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; nor
shall the Owner Trustee be required to take any action and this Agreement
shall not be deemed to impose on the Owner Trustee any obligation to take
any action, if the Owner Trustee shall have been advised by its counsel
that such action is unlawful or is contrary to the terms of this Agreement
or the other Operative Agreements;
(f) the Owner Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order or
other paper or document unless a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee
has actual knowledge that the facts or matters stated therein are false or
inaccurate, but the Owner Trustee in its discretion may make such further
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and,
if the Owner Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or
investigation, it shall be entitled, to the same extent permitted to the
Lessor under the Lease, to examine the books and records of the Lessee to
reasonably determine whether the Lessee is in compliance with the terms and
conditions of the Lease and to examine the Aircraft, Airframe, Engines or
any Part thereof personally or by agent or attorney; and
(g) without limiting the generality of Section 3.05 hereof, except as
otherwise provided in written instructions given to the Owner Trustee by the
Trustor or as otherwise provided in the Indenture or the Participation
Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall not have any duty (i) to see to any
recording or filing of the Lease or of this Agreement or any financing
statement or other notice or document relating thereto or contemplated
under the Operative Agreements or to see to the maintenance of any such
recording or filing (other than FAA reporting requirements contained in 14
C.F.R. Sections 47.45 and 47.51), (ii) to see to any insurance on the
Aircraft or any part thereof or to effect or maintain any such insurance,
whether or not the Lessee shall be in default with respect thereto, other
than to forward to the Trustor and (to the extent provided in the
Indenture) the Indenture Trustee copies of all certificates, reports and
other written information which it receives from the Lessee pursuant to the
Lease, (iii) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment or
other governmental charges or any Lien (except any Lessor's Lien
attributable to it in its individual capacity) owing with respect to, or
assessed or levied against any part of the Lessor's Estate, (iv) to confirm
or verify any financial statements or reports of the Lessee, or (v) to
inspect the Aircraft at any time or ascertain or inquire as to the
performance or observance of any of the Lessee's covenants under the Lease.
Section 3.07. No Representations or Warranties as to Certain
Matters. NEITHER THE OWNER TRUSTEE NOR SSB MAKES OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE
MADE (a) ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE TITLE,
AIRWORTHINESS, VALUE, CONDITION, WORKMANSHIP, DESIGN, COMPLIANCE WITH
SPECIFICATIONS, CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR USE
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER
DEFECTS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF ANY INFRINGEMENT OF
ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF OBLIGATIONS BASED ON
STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY PART THEREOF, except
that SSB represents and warrants that on the Delivery Date the Owner Trustee
shall have received whatever right, title and interests in, to and under the
Aircraft were conveyed to it by the Lessee and SSB represents, warrants and
covenants that at all times on and after the Delivery Date the Aircraft shall
be free of all Lessor's Liens attributable to it, and that the Owner Trustee
shall comply with the last sentence of Section 3.05(b) hereof, or (b) any
representation or warranty as to the validity, legality or enforceability of
this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement to which the Owner Trustee is
a party, or any other document or instrument, or as to the correctness of any
statement contained in any thereof, except to the extent that any such
representation, warranty or statement is expressly made herein or therein as a
representation or warranty by the Owner Trustee or SSB and except that SSB
hereby represents and warrants that this Agreement has been, and (assuming the
due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Trustor)
the other Operative Agreements to which the Owner Trustee is a party have been
(or at the time of execution and delivery of any such instrument by the Owner
Trustee hereunder or pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement that
such an instrument will be) duly executed and delivered by one of its officers
who is or will be, as the case may be, duly authorized to execute and deliver
such instruments on behalf of the Owner Trustee and that this Agreement has
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by SSB and (assuming due
authorization, execution and delivery of this Trust Agreement by the Trustor)
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of SSB enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of
equity.
Section 3.08. Status of Moneys Received. All moneys received by the
Owner Trustee under or pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any
Operative Agreement shall constitute trust funds for the purpose for which
they were paid or are held, but need not be segregated in any manner from any
other moneys except to the extent required by law and may be deposited by the
Owner Trustee under such conditions as may be prescribed or permitted by law
for trust funds, or may be invested in direct obligations of the United States.
Section 3.09. Self-Dealing. SSB in its individual capacity, or any
corporation in or with which SSB may be interested or affiliated, or any
officer or director of any such corporation, may have normal commercial
relations, and otherwise deal, in the ordinary course of business, with the
Lessee or any other corporation having relations with the Lessee to the full
extent permitted by law.
Section 3.10. Definition of a Responsible Officer. For purposes of
this Trust Agreement only, "Responsible Officer" when used with respect to the

Directors, the Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Executive Committee of the

Section 3.11. Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee. The Owner
Trustee or any successor thereof (a) shall resign if required to do so
pursuant to Section 7.02(b) of the Participation Agreement and (b) may resign
at any time without cause by giving at least 60 days' prior written notice to
the Trustor and the Indenture Trustee, such resignation in each case to be
effective only upon the appointment of a successor trustee and the acceptance
of such appointment by such successor. In addition, but subject to Section
11.01 of the Participation Agreement, the Trustor may at any time remove the
Owner Trustee without cause by an instrument in writing delivered to the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, such removal to be effective only upon the
appointment by the Trustor of a successor Owner Trustee and the acceptance of
such appointment by such successor. Upon the giving of notice of resignation
or removal of the Owner Trustee, the Trustor may appoint a successor Owner
Trustee by an instrument signed by the Trustor. If the Trustor shall not have
so appointed a successor Owner Trustee within 30 days after such resignation or
removal, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Trustor may apply to
any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Owner Trustee to
act until such time, if any, as a successor or successors shall have been
appointed by the Trustor as above provided. Any successor Owner Trustee so
appointed by a court shall be superseded by any successor Owner Trustee
subsequently appointed by the Trustor.
The appointment of any successor Owner Trustee shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 11.01 of the Participation Agreement.
Section 3.12. Estate and Rights of Successor Owner Trustee. Any
successor Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the
predecessor Owner Trustee, with a copy to the Trustor and the Indenture
Trustee, an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon each
successor Owner Trustee, without further act, shall become vested with all the
estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and trust of the predecessor Owner
Trustee in the trust hereunder with like effect as if originally named as an
Owner Trustee herein, but nevertheless upon the written request of such
successor Owner Trustee, such predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Owner Trustee, upon the
trust herein expressed, all estates, properties, rights, powers, duties,
property or moneys then held by such predecessor Owner Trustee upon the trust
herein expressed. Upon any such transfer by a predecessor Owner Trustee, such
predecessor Owner Trustee shall provide the successor Owner Trustee and
Trustor an accounting of the Lessor's Estate and the trust hereunder.
Upon the appointment of any successor Owner Trustee hereunder, the
predecessor Owner Trustee will use its best efforts to cause registration of
the Aircraft included in the Lessor's Estate to be transferred upon the
records of the Aeronautics Authority or other registry where the Aircraft may
then be registered into the name of the successor Owner Trustee and shall
otherwise use its best efforts to comply, or assist the successor Owner
Trustee in complying, with the provisions of Section 11.01 of the
Participation Agreement.
Section 3.13. Merger or Consolidation of SSB. Any corporation into
which SSB may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which SSB shall be a
party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust
business of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity may be transferred,
shall, subject to Section 3.12 hereof, be the Owner Trustee under this
Agreement without further act; provided, that such corporation shall not also
be the Indenture Trustee.
Section 3.14. Co-Trustees. At any time, subject to Section 7.13 of
the Participation Agreement, if the Owner Trustee and the Trustor shall deem
it necessary or prudent or desirable in order to conform to legal requirements
of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Lessor's Estate may at the time
be located, the Trustor and the Owner Trustee jointly shall have the power,
and shall execute and deliver all instruments, to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Trustor and the Owner Trustee, to act as co-trustee, or
co-trustees, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate
trustees (except insofar as local law makes it necessary or prudent or
desirable for any such co-trustee or separate trustee to act alone), of all or
any part of the Lessor's Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity, such title to the Lessor's Estate or any part thereof, and such
rights, powers, duties, trusts or obligations as the Trustor and the Owner
Trustee may consider necessary or prudent or desirable. The Owner Trustee
shall not be liable for any act or omission of any co-trustee or separate
trustee appointed under this Section 3.14. No appointment of, or action by,
any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section 3.14 will
relieve the Owner Trustee of any of its obligations under any Operative
Agreement or otherwise affect any of the terms of the Indenture or adversely
affect the interests of the Indenture Trustee or the Certificate Holders in the
Trust Indenture Estate.
Any co-trustee or separate trustee may, at any time by an instrument
in writing, constitute the Owner Trustee its or his attorney-in-fact and agent
with full power and authority to do all acts and things and to exercise all
discretion on its or his behalf and in its or his name subject to the
conditions of this Agreement.
Every additional trustee hereunder shall be a Citizen of the United
States and, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act, and the
Owner Trustee and its successors shall act, subject to the following
provisions and conditions:
(A) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the
Owner Trustee in respect of the custody, control and management of monies,
the Aircraft or documents authorized to be delivered hereunder or under the
Participation Agreement shall be exercised solely by the Owner Trustee;
(B) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such additional trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in
which any particular act or acts are to be performed (including the holding
of title to the Lessor's Estate) the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights,
powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such
additional trustee;
(C) no power given to, or which is provided hereby may be exercised
by, any such additional trustee, except jointly with, or with the consent
in writing of, the Owner Trustee;
(D) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any
act or omission of any other trustee hereunder except as otherwise provided
hereunder; and
(E) the Trustor, at any time, by an instrument in writing may remove
any such additional trustee.
Section 3.15. Interpretation of Agreements. In the event that the
Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or any other agreement relating to
the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements or such provision is
ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any
other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement or any other
Operative Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is
silent or incomplete as to the course of action which the Owner Trustee is
required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee
shall request in writing instructions of the Trustor and, to the extent that
the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any instructions
received from the Trustor, shall not be liable to any Person; provided, that
in the event that no response is made to the Owner Trustee by the Trustor
within 25 Business Days after such request, the Owner Trustee shall not be
liable to any Person for acts taken by the Owner Trustee in good faith or for
any failure to act, except to the extent provided in the last sentence of
Section 3.01 hereof.
Section 3.16. Not Acting in Individual Capacity. In carrying out
the trust hereby created, the Owner Trustee will act solely as trustee
hereunder and not in its individual capacity except as expressly provided
herein or in the other Operative Agreements to which it is a party; and all
Persons, other than the Trustor as provided in this Agreement, having any
claim against the Owner Trustee by reason of the transactions contemplated
hereby shall look only to the Lessor's Estate for payment or satisfaction
thereof, except to the extent provided in the last sentence of Section 3.01
hereof.
Section 3.17. Tax Returns. The Owner Trustee shall be responsible
for the keeping of all appropriate books and records relating to the receipt
and disbursement of all moneys under this Agreement or any Operative
Agreement. The Trustor shall be responsible for causing to be prepared and
filed all income tax returns required to be filed by the Trustor. The Owner
Trustee, upon request of the Trustor and at the expense of the Lessee, will
furnish the Trustor with all such information as may be reasonably required or
advisable from the Owner Trustee in connection with the preparation of such
tax returns and in connection with any other filing or audit and related
litigation obligations. The Owner Trustee shall be responsible for causing to
be prepared at the request of the Trustor, but at the expense of the Lessee,
all income tax returns required to be filed with respect to the trust created
hereby and shall execute and file such returns; provided, that the Owner
Trustee shall deliver a completed copy of all such returns to the Trustor not
more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the due date of the return
(provided that the Owner Trustee shall have timely received all necessary
information to complete such return). The Trustor, upon request, will furnish
the Owner Trustee with all such information as may be reasonably required from
the Trustor that is in its possession in connection with the preparation of
such income tax returns.
ARTICLE 4
TERMINATION OF TRUST
Section 4.01. Termination. This Agreement and the trust created and
provided for hereby shall cease and be terminated in any one of the following
events, whichever shall first occur:
(a) If the Trustor shall by notice in writing to the Owner Trustee
revoke and terminate the trust on and as of a date stated in such notice,
which date shall not be less than ten nor more than thirty days from the
date of mailing such notice, then on the date specified in such notice the
trust created and provided for hereby shall cease and terminate; provided,
that this trust shall not be subject to revocation or termination by the
Trustor prior to the payment in full and discharge of the Certificates and
all other indebtedness secured by the Indenture and the release of the Lien
of the Indenture and the security interest granted thereby without the
consent of the Indenture Trustee and shall not be subject to revocation or
termination by the Trustor prior to termination of the Lease without the
consent of the Lessee; provided, further, that such notice shall be
accompanied by the written agreement of the Trustor to assume all of the
obligations of the Owner Trustee (but not of SSB) under the Operative
Agreements and all other obligations of the Owner Trustee (but not of SSB)
incurred by it hereunder in its role as the Owner Trustee arising in
connection with the revocation or termination of the trust or this
Agreement by the Trustor;
(b) The sale or other final disposition by the Owner Trustee of all
of its interest in all property constituting or included in the Lessor's
Estate and, if the Indenture shall then be in effect, the sale or other
disposition by the Indenture Trustee of all of its interest in all property
constituting or included in the Lessor's Estate, and the final disposition
by the Owner Trustee and, if the Indenture shall then be in effect, the
Indenture Trustee, of all moneys or other property or proceeds constituting
part of the Lessor's Estate in accordance with the terms hereof; or
(c) 21 years less one day from the death of the last survivor of the
descendants of Queen Victoria of England living on the date of this
Agreement; provided, however, that if the Trust shall be or become valid
under applicable law for a period subsequent to 21 years less one day from
the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Queen Victoria of
England living on the date of this Agreement or, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if legislation shall become effective
providing for the validity or permitting the effective grant of such trust
for a period, in gross, exceeding the period for which such trust is
hereinabove stated to extend and be valid, then such trust shall not
terminate as provided in the first part of this sentence but shall extend
to and continue in effect until, but only if such non-termination and
extension shall then be valid under applicable law, such time as the same
shall, under applicable law, cease to be valid.
In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 4.01, if the
Indenture is still in effect, the Trustor will promptly and duly execute and
deliver to the Indenture Trustee such documents and assurances including,
without limitation, conveyances, financing statements and continuation
statements with respect to financing statements and take such further action
as the Indenture Trustee may from time to time reasonably request and furnish
in order to protect the rights and remedies created or intended to be created
in favor of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and to create for the
benefit of the Certificate Holders a valid first mortgage Lien with respect
to, and a first and prior perfected security interest in, the Trust Indenture
Estate.
Section 4.02. Distribution of Lessor's Estate upon Termination.
Upon any termination of this trust pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.01
hereof, the Owner Trustee shall convey the Lessor's Estate (subject to all
obligations, if any, of the Owner Trustee then existing under the Operative
Agreements to which the Owner Trustee is a party) to such purchaser or
purchasers or the Trustor, as the case may be, and for such amount and on such
terms as shall be specified in written instructions from the Trustor delivered
to the Owner Trustee prior to the date of termination; provided, that (i) if
at the time of any termination the Lease remains in force and effect, then the
Lessor's Estate shall be sold as a unit (and not in parcels) and subject to
the Lease, and (ii) in the event such written instructions are not delivered
to the Owner Trustee on or before the date of termination, the Owner Trustee
shall transfer title to the Lessor's Estate to the Trustor. Upon making such
transfer or sale and accounting for all funds which have come into its hands,
the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receipt of any sums due and owing to
the Owner Trustee for expenses incurred pursuant hereto as set forth in
Section 2.05 hereof.
ARTICLE 5
TRANSFER OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Trustor may assign, convey or otherwise transfer to a single
institutional investor all (but not less than all) of the Beneficial Interest,
provided that it gives the Lessee, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee
at least 10 Business Days' notice of such assignment, conveyance or other
transfer and provided further that the Trustor agrees by a written instrument
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee, the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee to remain liable for all obligations of the
Trustor under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to which the
Trustor is a party to the extent (but only to the extent) incurred on or
before the date of such transfer and provided that the transferee agrees by a
written instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Lessee, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee to assume primary
liability for all obligations as a trustor under this Agreement and the other
Operative Agreements to which such trustor is a party incurred after the date
of transfer; provided, further, that (a) such transferee is (i) a bank,
savings institution, finance company, leasing company or trust company or
national banking association acting for its own account or in a fiduciary
capacity as trustee or agent under any pension, retirement, profit sharing or
similar trust or fund, insurance company, fraternal benefit society or
corporation acting for its own account having a combined capital and surplus
(or, if applicable, consolidated tangible net worth or its equivalent) of not
less than $75,000,000, (ii) a subsidiary of any Person described in clause (i)
where such Person provides (A) support for the obligations assumed by such
transferee subsidiary satisfactory to the Lessee, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee or (B) an unconditional guaranty satisfactory to the Lessee,
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of such transferee subsidiary's
obligations, or (iii) an Affiliate of the original Trustor, so long as such
Affiliate has a combined capital and surplus (or, if applicable, consolidated
tangible net worth or its equivalent) of not less than $75,000,000, (b) such
transferee is legally capable of binding itself to the obligations of the
Trustor and expressly agrees to assume all obligations of the Trustor under
the Participation Agreement and this Agreement and (c) such transferee shall
provide representations substantially similar to those contained in Section
7.03(a) of the Participation Agreement. In the event of any such assignment,
conveyance or transfer, the transferee shall become a party to this Agreement
and shall agree to be bound by all the terms of and will undertake all of the
obligations of the Trustor contained in this Agreement and the other Operative
Agreements in such manner as is reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee, the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. A transferee hereunder shall be (i)
a "U.S. Person" as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (or any
successor provision thereto) or if the transferee shall not be such a "U.S.
Person" then each Certificate Holder shall be provided an indemnity (from the
transferee trustor or the Trustor but not from the Lessee) in form and
substance satisfactory to each such Certificate Holder, for any Taxes that may
be imposed on such Certificate Holders (currently or in the future) due to
such transferee's failure to be such a "U.S. Person" and (ii) a Citizen of the
United States or shall have established a voting trust, voting powers or other
arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee to permit the
Owner Trustee to be the registered owner of the Aircraft under the
Transportation Code. Assuming the truth of the representations made in
Section 6.01(m)(viii) of the Participation Agreement and compliance with
Section 10.06 of the Indenture, no such assignment, conveyance or transfer
shall violate any provision of law or regulation or create a relationship which
would be in violation thereof. The Owner Trustee shall not be on notice of or
otherwise bound by any such assignment, conveyance or transfer unless and
until it shall have received an executed counterpart of the instrument of such
assignment, conveyance or transfer. Upon any such disposition by the Trustor
to a transferee as above provided, the transferee shall be deemed the
"Trustor" for all purposes hereof, and shall be deemed to have made all the
payments previously made by its transferor and to have acquired the same
interest in the Lessor's Estate as theretofore held by its transferor; and
each reference herein to the "Trustor" shall thereafter be deemed a reference
to such transferee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Article 5, in no event shall the Trustor transfer its interest in the
Beneficial Interest to any entity whose business is that of a nationwide or
worldwide overnight or expedited delivery small package air courier, cargo or
freight deliverer or which competes with the Lessee in one of its principal
lines of business (except for any line of business in the financial services
industry).
ARTICLE 6
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 6.01. Indemnification. The Trustor agrees to reimburse and
save SSB harmless against any and all loss, damage, liability, claims, demands,
disbursements and expenses, including taxes (excluding taxes imposed against
SSB upon or with respect to any fees or compensation for services rendered by
the Owner Trustee and SSB hereunder) and reasonable counsel fees (any "Loss"),
which may be incurred by reason of its being the Owner Trustee or acting
hereunder or under the Operative Agreements, but solely by reason thereof and
arising out of or relating solely to this Agreement or the other Operative
Agreements or the Aircraft or the Rent and other sums payable therefor, or by
reason of any occurrence directly relating thereto while so acting, and to
secure the payment thereof, the Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity,
shall have a Lien on the Lessor's Estate and the proceeds thereof, including
income, prior to any interest therein of the Trustor and its assigns (but
subject to the rights of the Lessee under the Operative Agreements and subject
and subordinate to the Lien of the Indenture); provided, that the Trustor
shall have no obligation hereunder to indemnify SSB for any Losses arising
from or the result of (A) the Owner Trustee's willful misconduct or gross
negligence (in its individual capacity or as trustee), (B) any inaccuracy of
any representation of the Owner Trustee or any breach by the Owner Trustee of
its warranties and covenants given in its individual capacity in this
Agreement, Article 5 of the Lease, Sections 7.01(c), 7.02(a) and (b) and 7.04
of the Participation Agreement and its representations and warranties in
Section 3.05 of the Indenture or elsewhere in the Operative Agreements, (C)
the failure to use ordinary care in receiving, handling and disbursing funds,
(D) Lessor's Liens attributable to it in its individual capacity, (E) taxes,
fees, or other charges on, based on, or measured by, any fees, commissions or
compensation received by SSB or the Owner Trustee in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Lease, the Indenture and this Agreement, (F)
any Loss for which the Lessee is not required to indemnify SSB pursuant to
Sections 8.01 and 9.01 of the Participation Agreement (disregarding for the
purposes of this Section 6.01, subsections (iii) and (vi) of Section 8.01(b)
of the Participation Agreement) and subsections (ii), (iv), (vi), and (viii) of
Section 9.01(b) of the Participation Agreement); provided, that, before
asserting any right to payment or indemnification hereunder, the Owner Trustee
shall first demand (but need not exhaust its remedies with respect to) its
corresponding right to payment or indemnification from the Lessee pursuant to
the Participation Agreement. It is further understood that the distribution
by the Owner Trustee of all or any part of the Lessor's Estate as provided in
Section 4.02 of this Agreement shall not impair the right of SSB to indemnity,
payment and reimbursement as herein provided. In the event SSB makes any
advances at any time to pay or to provide for the payment of any such Loss,
then SSB shall be entitled, in addition to reimbursement for the principal of
the sum so advanced, to interest on the amount of such advances at the Prime
Rate. The provisions of this Section shall continue in force and effect
notwithstanding the termination of this trust or the resignation, inability or
incapacity to act or removal of the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee (in its
individual capacity or as trustee) agrees that it shall have no right against
(except as provided in this Section 6.01) the Trustor or (subject to the
provisions of the Indenture) the Trust Indenture Estate for any fee as
compensation for its services hereunder.
Section 6.02. Supplements and Amendments. At any time and from time
to time, only upon the written request of the Trustor (a) SSB and the Trustor
shall execute a supplement hereto for the purpose of adding provisions to, or
changing or eliminating provisions of, this Agreement as specified in such
request and (b) the Owner Trustee shall, subject to the provisions of Article
XIII of the Indenture, enter into or consent to such written amendment or
modification of or supplement to any of the Operative Agreements as the
Indenture Trustee and any other necessary parties may agree to in writing and
as may be specified in such request, or execute and deliver such written
waiver of the terms of any of the Operative Agreements as may be agreed to in
writing by the Indenture Trustee and as may be specified in such request;
provided, that (i) the Owner Trustee shall not execute any such supplement,
amendment, waiver or modification without the prior written consent of the
Trustor, (ii) if in the reasonable opinion of the Owner Trustee any document
required to be executed by it pursuant to this Section adversely affects any
right or duty of, or immunity or indemnity in favor of, the Owner Trustee
under this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, the Owner Trustee may
in its discretion decline to execute such document and (iii) any amendment or
supplement to this Agreement that would adversely affect the rights of the
Indenture Trustee or the Holders shall be subject to the prior written consent
of the Indenture Trustee. It shall not be necessary that any request pursuant
to this Section specify the particular form of the proposed document to be
executed pursuant to such request, but it shall be sufficient if such request
shall indicate the substance thereof. Promptly after the execution by SSB or
the Owner Trustee of any document pursuant to this Section, the Owner Trustee
shall mail a conformed copy thereof to the Trustor and the Indenture Trustee,
but the failure of the Owner Trustee to mail such conformed copies shall not
impair or affect the validity of such document.
Section 6.03. Nature of Title of Trustor. The Trustor shall not
have any legal title to any part of the Lessor's Estate. No transfer, by
operation of law or otherwise, of the right, title and interest of the Trustor
in and to the Lessor's Estate or the trust hereunder shall operate to
terminate this Agreement or Lessor's Estate, except as provided in Section
4.01 hereof.

sale, transfer or other conveyance by the Owner Trustee of the interest of the
Owner Trustee in the Operative Agreements or in the Aircraft or any part
thereof pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or the
Operative Agreements shall bind the Trustor and shall be effective to transfer
or convey all right, title and interest of the Owner Trustee and the Trustor
in and to the Operative Agreements or the Aircraft or such part thereof. No
purchaser or other grantee shall be required to inquire as to the
authorization, necessity, expediency or regularity of such assignment, sale,
transfer or conveyance or as to the application of any sale or other proceeds
with respect thereto by the Owner Trustee.
Section 6.05. Notices. All notices, demands, declarations and other
communications required by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
