record date is fixed, such Direction may be given before or after such record
date, but only the Certificateholders of record of the applicable class at the
close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Certificateholders
for the purposes of determining whether Certificateholders of the requisite
proportion of outstanding Certificates of such class have authorized or agreed
or consented to such Direction, and for that purpose the Outstanding
Certificates of such class shall be computed as of such record date. No such
Direction by the Certificateholders on such record date shall be deemed
effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this
Basic Agreement not later than one year after such record date.

Holder of every Certificate issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not notation of such Direction is made

Specified Investments held in an Escrow Account mature prior to any applicable
Transfer Date, any proceeds received on the maturity of such Specified
Investments (other than any earnings thereon) shall be reinvested by the Trustee
at the direction and risk of, and for the benefit of, the Company in Specified
Investments maturing as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Regular Distribution Date if such Postponed Notes had been purchased on the
Issuance Date, from and including the Issuance Date to but excluding the date of
such purchase and (B) the interest that would have accrued on any Postponed
Notes not purchased on or prior to the Initial Regular Distribution Date (other

If, in respect of the Certificates of any class, the Company notifies the
Trustee prior to the Cut-off Date that any Postponed Notes shall not be issued
or be available for purchase on or prior to the Cut-off Date for any reason, on
the next Special Distribution Date for such Certificates occurring more than 20
days following the date of such notice (i) the Company shall pay to the Trustee
for deposit in the related Special Payments Account, in immediately available
funds, an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on the Postponed
Notes designated in such notice at a rate equal to the interest rate applicable

Distribution Date shall occur on or prior to the Initial Regular Distribution
Date) or the Initial Regular Distribution Date (if such Special Distribution
Date occurs after the Initial Regular Distribution Date) to but excluding such

delivery of a Trust Supplement creating a Trust and issuing a class of
Certificates, acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and interest in

------------
Agreement and declares that the Trustee holds and shall hold such right, title
and interest, together with all other property constituting the Trust Property
of such Trust, for the benefit of all then present and future Certificateholders
of such class, upon the trusts herein and in such Trust Supplement set forth.
Subject to Section 7.14, the Trustee shall take all actions reasonably necessary

Trust and grants to the Trustee the powers conferred by this Agreement.
Section 2.04 Limitation of Powers. Each Trust is constituted solely for

the purpose of making the investment in the Notes provided for in the related
Trust Supplement, and, except as set forth herein or in this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not be authorized or empowered to acquire any other investments or
engage in any other activities and, in particular, the Trustee shall not be
authorized or empowered to do anything that would cause such Trust to fail to
qualify as a "grantor trust" for federal income tax purposes (including as
subject to this restriction, acquiring any Aircraft (as defined in the
respective related Indentures) by bidding such Notes or otherwise, or taking any
action with respect to any such Aircraft once acquired).

THE CERTIFICATES
Section 3.01 Form, Denomination and Execution of Certificates. Each
------------------------------------------------
Certificate shall represent a fractional undivided interest in a Trust. The
Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class A-3 Certificates,
the Class B Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Class D Certificates,
shall be issued in fully registered form without coupons and shall be
substantially in the forms attached as exhibits to the related Trust
Supplements, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this
Agreement and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification
and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply
with the rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be
determined by the officers executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their
execution of the Certificates. Any portion of the text of any Certificate may
be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on
the face of the Certificate.
Except as provided in Section 3.05, the definitive Certificates shall be
typed, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these
methods or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any
securities exchange on which the Certificates may be listed, all as determined
by the officers executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of

Each Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication. Except as
otherwise provided in the related Trust Supplement, the Certificates of each
class shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples
thereof, except that one Certificate of such class may be issued in a different
denomination. The Certificates of such class shall be executed on behalf of the
Trustee by manual or facsimile signature of a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee. Certificates of any class bearing the manual or facsimile signature of
an individual who was, at the time when such signature was affixed, authorized
to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall be valid and binding obligations of the
Trustee, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to be so authorized
prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold
such office at the date of such Certificates.
19
[2001-1 Pass Through Trust Agreement]
No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its Responsible
Officers, and such certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder.
Section 3.02 Restrictive Legends. Each Global Certificate shall bear the
-------------------
following legend on the face thereof:
UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION ("DTC"), TO THE TRUSTEE OR
ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY
CERTIFICATE ISSUED IN EXCHANGE FOR THIS CERTIFICATE IS REGISTERED IN THE
NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO
SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC),
ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO
ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO.,
HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.
TRANSFERS OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT
NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH
SUCCESSOR'S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE
LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN
SECTION 3.05 OF THE PASS THROUGH TRUST AGREEMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN.
Section 3.03 Authentication of Certificates. (a) The Trustee shall duly
------------------------------
execute, authenticate and deliver Certificates of each class in authorized
denominations equaling in the aggregate the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes to be purchased by the Trustee pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement and
evidencing the entire ownership of the related Trust. Thereafter, the Trustee
shall duly execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates of a class as
herein provided.
(b) No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on
such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
provided for herein executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of
its authorized signatories, and such certificate of authentication upon any
Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 3.04 Transfer and Exchange. The Trustee shall cause to be kept at
---------------------
the office or agency to be maintained by it in accordance with the provisions of
Section 7.12 a register (the "Register") for each class of Certificates in
------------
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it
20
[2001-1 Pass Through Trust Agreement]
may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates of
such class and of transfers and exchanges of such Certificates as herein
provided. The Trustee shall initially be the registrar (the "Registrar") for the
purpose of registering Certificates of each class and transfers and exchanges of
such Certificates as herein provided. A Certificateholder may transfer a
Certificate by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the
proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Agreement,
including providing a written certificate or other evidence of compliance with
any restrictions on transfer. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such
transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Certificateholder only upon, final
acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register.
Prior to the registration of any transfer by a Certificateholder as provided
herein, the Trustee shall treat the person in whose name the Certificate is
registered as the owner thereof for all purposes, and the Trustee shall not be
affected by notice to the contrary. Furthermore, the Clearing Agency shall, by
acceptance of a Global Certificate, agree that transfers of Book-Entry
Certificates therein may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained
by the Clearing Agency (or its agent), and that ownership of Book-Entry
Certificates shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. When
Certificates of a class are presented to the Registrar with a request to
register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal aggregate Fractional
Undivided Interest of Certificates of like class of other authorized
denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as
requested if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit
registrations of transfers and exchanges in accordance with the terms,
conditions and restrictions hereof, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate
Certificates at the Registrar's request. No service charge shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of the Certificates, but the Trustee may
require payment by the transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax
or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any
such transfer taxes or other similar governmental charges payable upon exchanges
pursuant to Section 3.10 or 9.07).

Section 3.05 Global, Book-Entry and Definitive Certificates. (a) Except
----------------------------------------------
for one Certificate of each class that may be issued in a denomination of other
than an even multiple of $1,000, except as provided in the following sentence,
the Certificates of any class may be issued at the option of the Company in the
form of one or more typewritten Global Certificates representing the Book-Entry
Certificates of such class, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the
initial Clearing Agency, by the Trustee on behalf of the related Trust. In the
case of the issuance of Global Certificates, such Global Certificates delivered
to The Depository Trust Company shall initially be registered on the Register in
the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no
Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such
Certificate Owner's interest in the Certificates of such class, except as
provided in Subsection (d) below. As to Global Certificates, unless and until
definitive, fully registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") have
been issued pursuant to Subsection (d) below:
(i) the provisions of this Section 3.05 shall be in full
------------
force and effect;
(ii) the Company, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the
Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the
making of distributions on the Global Certificates);
21
[2001-1 Pass Through Trust Agreement]
(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.05
------------
conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement (other than the
provisions of any Trust Supplement expressly amending this Section 3.05 as
------------
permitted by this Basic Agreement), the provisions of this Section 3.05
------------
shall control;
(iv) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only
through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by
law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency
and/or the Clearing Agency Participants; and until Definitive Certificates
are issued pursuant to Subsection (d) below, the Clearing Agency will make
book-entry transfers in respect of the Book-Entry Certificates among the
Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of
principal, interest and premium, if any, on the Global Certificates to such
Clearing Agency Participants;
(v) Global Certificates may be transferred in whole, but not in
part, and in the manner provided in Section 3.04, by the Clearing Agency
------------
holding such Global Certificates to a nominee of such Clearing Agency, or
by such Clearing Agency to a successor Clearing Agency that has been
selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor
Clearing Agency; and
(vi) whenever this Agreement requires or permits actions to be
taken based upon instructions or directions of Certificateholders of a
particular class holding Certificates of such class evidencing a specified
percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interests in the related Trust, the
Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the
extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Clearing
Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required
percentage of the Book-Entry Certificates of such class and has delivered
such instructions to the Trustee. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall
have any obligation to determine whether the Clearing Agency has in fact
received any such instructions.
(b) Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders
of a class is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive
Certificates shall have been issued pursuant to Subsection (d) below, the
Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to
be given to Certificateholders of such class to the Clearing Agency.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in the related Trust Supplement, the
Trustee shall enter into the applicable Letter of Representations with
respect to each class of Global Certificates and fulfill its
responsibilities thereunder.
(d) If with respect to the Global Certificates of any class (i) the
Company advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency that holds
such Global Certificates is no longer willing or able to discharge properly
its responsibilities and the Trustee or the Company is unable to locate a
qualified successor, (ii) the Company, at its option, advises the Trustee
in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the
Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates of such class evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in
interest in
22
[2001-1 Pass Through Trust Agreement]
the related Trust, by Act of such Certificate Owners delivered to the Company
and the Trustee, advise the Company, the Trustee and the Clearing Agency through
the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-
entry system through the Clearing Agency Participants is no longer in the best
interests of the Certificate Owners of such class, then the Trustee shall notify
all Certificate Owners of such class, through the Clearing Agency, of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates.
Upon surrender to the Trustee of all the Global Certificates of such class held
by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the
Clearing Agency Participants for registration of Definitive Certificates in the
names of Certificate Owners of such class, the Trustee shall issue and deliver
the Definitive Certificates of such class in accordance with the instructions of
the Clearing Agency. Neither the Company, the Registrar, the Paying Agent nor
the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and
may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
registration instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates of such
class, the Trustee shall recognize the Persons in whose names the Definitive
Certificates are registered in the Register as Certificateholders hereunder.
Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be liable if the Trustee or the
Company is unable to locate a qualified successor Clearing Agency.
(e) The provisions of this Section 3.05 may be made inapplicable
------------
to any class or may be amended with respect to any class in the related Trust
Supplement.
(f) Until such time as no Certificates remain Outstanding, the
Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written
communications received pursuant to this Section 3.05. The Trustee, if not the
------------
Registrar at such time, shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all
such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time
upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.
Section 3.06 [Intentionally Omitted.]
---------------------
Section 3.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Registrar or the Registrar
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Registrar and the Trustee such
security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Registrar or the Trustee that
such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform
Commercial Code in effect in any applicable jurisdiction are met, the Trustee
shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate or
Certificates of like class, in authorized denominations and of like Fractional
Undivided Interest and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. In
connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.07, the
------------
Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Registrar)
connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
-------
3.07 shall constitute conclusive evidence of the appropriate Fractional
----
Undivided Interest in the related Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
23
[2001-1 Pass Through Trust Agreement]
The provisions of this Section 3.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to
------------
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.
Section 3.08 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a
---------------------
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Registrar and any
Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered
(as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Certificate for the
purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Article IV and for all other
----------
purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trustee, the Registrar or any Paying Agent
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 3.09 Cancellation. All Certificates surrendered for payment or
------------
transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Trustee or any agent of the
Trustee other than the Registrar, be delivered to the Registrar for cancellation
and shall promptly be canceled by it. No Certificates shall be authenticated in
lieu of or in exchange for any Certificates canceled as provided in this Section
-------
3.09, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All canceled
----
Certificates held by the Registrar shall be destroyed and a certification of
their destruction delivered to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.10 Temporary Certificates. Until definitive Certificates of any
----------------------
class are ready for delivery, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and
deliver temporary Certificates of such class. Temporary Certificates of each
class shall be substantially in the form of definitive Certificates of such
class but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations
determined to be appropriate by the officers executing the temporary
Certificates of such class, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary
Certificates. If temporary Certificates of any class are issued, the Trustee
shall cause definitive Certificates of like class to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Certificates of such
class, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive
Certificates upon surrender of such temporary Certificates at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee designated for such purpose pursuant to Section
-------
7.12, without charge to the Certificateholder. Upon surrender for cancellation
----
of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like face amount of definitive
Certificates of like class, in authorized denominations and of a like Fractional
Undivided Interest. Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall be
entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Certificates.

------------------------------------
distributions made to Certificateholders of any class in respect of the
Certificates of such class shall be made only from the Trust Property of the
Trusts of the same class and, only to the extent that the Trustee shall have
sufficient income or proceeds from such Trust Property to make such payments, in
accordance with the terms of Article IV. Each Certificateholder, by its
----------
acceptance of a Certificate, agrees that it shall look solely to the income and
proceeds from the Trust Property of the Trusts of the same class for any payment
or distribution due to such Certificateholder pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement and that it shall not have any recourse to the Company, the Trustee,
the Indenture Trustees or the Liquidity Providers, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein or in the Intercreditor Agreement.
24
[2001-1 Pass Through Trust Agreement]
The Company is a party to this Agreement solely for purposes of meeting the
requirements of the Trust Indenture Act, and therefore shall not have any right,
obligation or liability hereunder (except as otherwise expressly provided
herein).

Special Payment, it shall be sufficient if the notice sets forth the other
amounts to be distributed and states that any Additional Payments received shall
also be distributed.
26
[2001-1 Pass Through Trust Agreement]
If any redemption of the Notes held in any Trust is canceled, the Trustee,
as soon as possible after learning thereof, shall cause notice thereof to be

Trustee of such Trusts and supersede the successor Trustee of such Trusts
appointed as provided above. If no successor Trustee shall have been so
appointed as provided above and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter

Section 7.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor
--------------------------------------
Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute and deliver to the Company, the
Authorized Agents, and the Indenture Trustees and to the retiring Trustee with
respect to any or all Trusts an instrument accepting such appointment, and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee with respect to
such Trusts shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the
Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all such rights,
powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Trustee all Trust Property held by such retiring
Trustee in respect of such Trusts hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien,
if any, provided for in Section 7.07. Upon request of any such successor
------------
Trustee, the Company, the retiring Trustee and such successor Trustee shall
execute and deliver any and all instruments containing such provisions as shall
be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and for more fully and
certainly vesting in, such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.
39
[2001-1 Pass Through Trust Agreement]
If a successor Trustee is appointed with respect to one or more (but not
all) Trusts, the Company, the predecessor Trustee and each successor Trustee
with respect to any Trust shall execute and deliver a supplemental agreement
hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or
desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
predecessor Trustee with respect to the Trusts as to which the predecessor
Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee,
and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Basic Agreement and the
applicable Trust Supplements as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate
the administration of the Trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee.
It is understood that nothing herein or in any supplemental agreement or
Trust Supplement shall constitute any Trustee a co-Trustee of the same Trust and
that each Trustee shall be the Trustee of one or more separate Trusts.
No institution shall accept its appointment as a successor Trustee
hereunder unless at the time of such acceptance such institution shall be
qualified and eligible under this Article VII.

or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VII,
-----------
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto. In case any Certificates shall have been executed or
authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor
by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt
such execution or authentication and deliver the Certificates so executed or
authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
executed or authenticated such Certificates.
Section 7.12 Maintenance of Agencies. (a) With respect to each class of
-----------------------
Certificates, there shall at all times be maintained an office or agency in the
location set forth in Section 12.03 where Certificates of such class may be
-------------
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, and for
payment thereof and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect
of such Certificates or this Agreement may be served; provided, however, that,
-------- -------
if it shall be necessary that the Trustee maintain an office or agency in
another location with respect to the Certificates of any class (e.g., the
----
Certificates shall be represented by Definitive Certificates and shall be listed
on a national securities exchange), the Trustee shall make all reasonable
efforts to establish such an office or agency. Written notice of the location
of each such other office or agency and of any change of location thereof shall
be given by the Trustee to the Company, any the Indenture Trustees (in the case
of any Indenture Trustee, at its address specified in the Note Purchase
Agreement or such other address as may be notified to the Trustee) and the
Certificateholders of such class. In the event that no such office or agency
shall be maintained or no such notice of location or of change of location shall
be given, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.
(b) There shall at all times be a Registrar and a Paying Agent
hereunder with respect to the Certificates of each class. Each such Authorized

state, with a combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000, or a
corporation having a combined capital and surplus in excess of $5,000,000, the
obligations of which are guaranteed by a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States or any state, with a combined
capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000, and shall be authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers, subject to supervision by Federal or
state authorities. The Trustee shall initially be the Paying Agent and, as
provided in Section 3.04, Registrar hereunder with respect to the Certificates
------------
of each class. Each Registrar shall furnish to the Trustee, at stated intervals
of not more than six months, and at such other times as the Trustee may request
in writing, a copy of the Register maintained by such Registrar.
(c) Any corporation into which any Authorized Agent may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authorized
Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust
business of any Authorized Agent, shall be the successor of such Authorized
Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this
Section 7.12, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
------------
the part of the parties hereto or such Authorized Agent or such successor
corporation.
(d) Any Authorized Agent may at any time resign by giving
written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Company, and the Indenture
Trustees. The Company may, and at the request of the Trustee shall, at any time
terminate the agency of any Authorized Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Authorized Agent and to the Trustee. Upon the resignation or
termination of an Authorized Agent or in case at any time any such Authorized
Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section 7.12 (when, in either case,
------------
no other Authorized Agent performing the functions of such Authorized Agent
shall have been appointed), the Company shall promptly appoint one or more
qualified successor Authorized Agents, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee,
to perform the functions of the Authorized Agent which has resigned or whose
agency has been terminated or who shall have ceased to be eligible under this
Section 7.12. The Company shall give written notice of any such appointment made
------------
by it to the Trustee, and the Indenture Trustees; and in each case the Trustee
shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders of the related
class as their names and addresses appear on the Register for such class.
(e) The Company agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, from time to
time to each Authorized Agent reasonable compensation for its services and to
reimburse it for its reasonable expenses.

--------------------------------------------------
moneys deposited with any Paying Agent for the purpose of any payment on
Certificates shall be deposited and held in trust for the benefit of the

and discharge of this Agreement or for any other purpose, direct any Paying
Agent to pay to the Trustee all
41
[2001-1 Pass Through Trust Agreement]

upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by such Paying
Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying
Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.
Section 7.14 Registration of Notes in Name of Subordination Agent. The
----------------------------------------------------
Trustee agrees that all Notes to be purchased by the Trusts of any class shall
be issued in the name of the Subordination Agent or its nominee and held by the

class, or, if not so held, the Subordination Agent or its nominee shall be

Notes.

Section 7.16 Withholding Taxes; Information Reporting. As to the

principal, Additional Payments, if any, and interest and other amounts due under
this Agreement or under the Certificates of such class (a "Distribution") any
and all withholding and backup withholding taxes applicable thereto as required
by United States federal, state and local law. The Trustee on behalf of the
Trust shall request, and the Certificateholders shall provide to the Trust, such
forms or certificates as are necessary to establish an exemption from
withholding and backup withholding with respect to each Certificateholder, and
representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Trustee on

withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in
the name of and on behalf of the Certificateholders of such class, that it shall

promptly as possible after the payment thereof, it shall deliver to each such
Certificateholder appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof,
together with such additional documentary evidence as such Certificateholders of

any other information reports as it may be required to file under United States
law. To the extent that the Trust is required to withhold and pay over any
amounts to any jurisdiction with respect to Distributions to any
Certificateholder, the amount withheld shall be deemed to be a Distribution in
the amount of the withholding to the Certificateholder. In the event of any
claimed over withholding, Certificateholders shall be limited to an action
against the applicable jurisdiction. If the amount required to be withheld was
not withheld from actual Distributions made, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust
may reduce subsequent Distributions by the amount of such required withholding.

AMENDMENTS TO INDENTURES AND NOTE DOCUMENTS
Section 10.01 Amendments and Supplements to Indentures and Other Note

Intercreditor Agreement, receives a request pursuant to Section 9.02 or Section
------------ -------
6.04 for a consent to any amendment, modification, waiver or supplement under
----
any related Indenture or other related Note Document, the Trustee shall
forthwith send a notice of such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or
supplement to each Certificateholder of such class registered on the Register as
of the date of such notice. The Trustee shall request from the
Certificateholders of such class a Direction as to (a) whether or not to take or
refrain from taking (or direct the Subordination Agent to take or refrain from

(or direct the Subordination Agent to vote) the Notes if a vote has been called

a majority in interest in the related Trusts. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, a Certificate shall have been "actually voted" if the Holder of such
Certificate has delivered to the Trustee an instrument evidencing such Holder's
consent to such Direction prior to two Business Days before the Trustee directs
such action or casts such vote or gives such consent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, but subject to Section 6.04 and the Intercreditor Agreement, the
------------
Trustee may, with respect to the Certificates of any class, in its own
discretion and at its own direction, consent and notify the relevant Indenture
Trustee of such consent (or direct the Subordination Agent to consent and notify
such Indenture Trustee of such consent) to any amendment, modification, waiver

ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION OF TRUSTS
Section 11.01 Termination of the Trusts. In respect of the Trusts of each
-------------------------
class created by the Basic Agreement as supplemented by a related Trust
Supplement, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company and
the Trustee created under this Agreement and such Trusts created hereby shall
terminate upon the distribution to all Holders of the Certificates of the class
of such Trusts and the Trustee of all amounts required to be distributed to them
pursuant to this Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of
the Trust Property of the related class of such Trusts; provided, however, that
-------- -------
in no event shall such Trusts continue beyond 21 years less one day following
the death of the last survivor of all descendants living on the date hereof of
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Xx., unless applicable law shall permit a longer term, in
which case such longer term shall apply.
49
[2001-1 Pass Through Trust Agreement]
Notice of any termination of the Trusts of a class, specifying the
applicable Regular Distribution Date (or applicable Special Distribution Date,
as the case may be) upon which the Certificateholders of such class may
surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final
distribution and cancellation, shall be mailed promptly by the Trustee to
Certificateholders of such class not earlier than the 60th day and not later
than the 26th day preceding such final distribution specifying (A) the Regular
Distribution Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be) upon which
the proposed final payment of the Certificates of such class shall be made upon
presentation and surrender of Certificates of such class at the office or agency
of the Trustee therein specified, (B) the amount of any such proposed final
payment, and (C) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Regular
Distribution Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be) is not
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates of such class at the office or agency of the Trustee therein
specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Registrar at the time such
notice is given to Certificateholders of such class. Upon presentation and
surrender of the Certificates of such class in accordance with such notice, the
Trustee shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders of such class such
final payments.
If all of the Certificateholders of such class shall not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the
above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice
to the remaining Certificateholders of such class to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. No additional interest shall accrue on the Certificates of such class
after the Regular Distribution Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case
may be) specified in the first written notice. If any money held by the Trustee
for the payment of distributions on the Certificates of such class shall remain
unclaimed for two years (or such lesser time as the Trustee shall be satisfied,
after 60 days' notice from the Company, is one month prior to the escheat period
provided under applicable law) after the final distribution date with respect
thereto, the Trustee shall pay to each Indenture Trustee the appropriate amount
of money relating to such Indenture Trustee and shall give written notice
thereof to the Company.
ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 12.01 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or
------------------------------------------
incapacity of any Certificateholder of any class shall not operate to terminate
this Agreement or the related Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
commence any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust,
nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations, and liabilities of the parties
hereto or any of them.
Section 12.02 Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid. Except as set
-----------------------------------------
forth in the last sentence of this Section 12.02, Certificateholders of each
-------------
class shall not be personally liable for obligations of the related Trusts, the
Fractional Undivided Interests represented by the Certificates of such class
shall be nonassessable for any losses or expenses of such Trust or for any
reason whatsoever, and Certificates of such class, upon authentication thereof
by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.03, are and shall be deemed fully paid. No
------------
Certificateholder of such class shall have any right (except as expressly
provided herein) to vote or in any manner otherwise
50
[2001-1 Pass Through Trust Agreement]
control the operation and management of the related Trust Property, the related
Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything set forth
herein, or contained in the terms of the Certificates of such class, be
construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders of such class from time to
time as partners or members of an association. Neither the existence of any
Trust nor any provision herein is intended to or shall limit the liability the
Certificateholders of each class would otherwise incur if such
Certificateholders owned the related Trust Property as co-owners, or incurred
any obligations of the related Trust, directly rather than through the related
Trust.

THEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
Section 12.05 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the
--------------------------
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions, or
terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or any Trust, or of the
Certificates of any class or the rights of the Certificateholders thereof.
Section 12.06 Trust Indenture Act Controls. This Agreement is subject to
----------------------------
the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act and shall, to the extent applicable,

may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect
as if made on such Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date, and
interest shall accrue during the intervening period.
Section 12.11 Counterparts. For the purpose of facilitating the execution

simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts shall constitute but
one and the same instrument.
Section 12.12 Intention of Parties. The parties hereto intend that each
--------------------
Trust be classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust
under Subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as

partnership. The powers granted and obligations undertaken pursuant to this
Agreement shall be so construed so as to further such intent.
