as herein provided. The Owner Trustee agrees to disburse all monies that it

hereof; provided, that 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 Department of the Owner Trustee shall have

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

its Beneficial Interest pursuant to Article 5;
(d) upon or after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term

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

form of such financing statement or such continuation statement, as the
case may be); and

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 FSB 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, FSB 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 FSB 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 FSB 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 FSB 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 FSB and except that FSB
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 FSB and (assuming due
authorization, execution and delivery of this Trust Agreement by the Trustor)
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of FSB 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. The Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity, or any corporation in or with which the Owner Trustee 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

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 trusts 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 trusts
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 trusts 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 FSB. Any corporation into
which FSB in its individual capacity may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which FSB shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the
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 trusts 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) 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
(b) 21 years 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 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.
Section 4.02. Termination at Option of the Trustor. Notwithstanding
Section 4.01 hereof, this Agreement and the trust created hereby shall
terminate and the Trust Estate shall be distributed to the Trustor, and this
Agreement shall be of no further force and effect, upon the election of the
Trustor by notice to the Owner Trustee, if such notice shall be accompanied by
the written agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner
Trustee) of the Trustor assuming all the obligations of the Owner Trustee
under or contemplated by the Operative Agreements or incurred by it as trustee
hereunder and releasing the Owner Trustee therefrom; provided, however, that
such notice may be given only after the time the Lien of the Indenture is
discharged under Section 14.01 of the Indenture unless the Trustor shall have
received the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee to any such
termination in which case such notice may be given while the Lien of the
Indenture is outstanding.
Section 4.03. 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 (subject to the transferee's
ability to satisfy the requirements set forth in clause (c) below) 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 Sections 7.02(a) and 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 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
Sections 6.01(m) and 7.09 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 FSB harmless against any and all loss, damage, liability, claims, demands,
disbursements and expenses, including taxes (excluding taxes imposed against
FSB upon or with respect to any fees or compensation for services rendered by
the Owner Trustee and FSB 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 or the Original Agreements, but
solely by reason thereof and arising out of or relating solely to this
Agreement or the other Operative Agreements or the Original 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 or the Original Agreements
and subject and subordinate to the Lien of the Indenture); provided, that the
Trustor shall have no obligation hereunder to indemnify FSB 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, Sections 7.01(c), 7.02(a) and (b) and 7.04 of the
Participation Agreement and its representations and warranties in Section 3.08
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 FSB or the Owner Trustee in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Lease, the Indenture and this Agreement, (F) taxes
excluded from indemnification pursuant to Section 8.01(b) 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 FSB to indemnity, payment and
reimbursement as herein provided. In the event FSB makes any advances at any
time to pay or to provide for the payment of any such Loss, then FSB 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) FSB 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 FSB or
the Owner Trustee of any document pursuant to this Section, the Owner Trustee
shall mail a conformed copy thereof to the Trustor, the Indenture Trustee and
the Lessee, 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 trusts 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

any breach by the Owner Trustee of its representations, warranties and
covenants given in its individual capacity in this Agreement, Article 5 of the

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 to which it is a party, (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 Agreements, or (iii) as
expressly provided in written instructions from the Trustor given pursuant to
Section 3.03 or 3.04 hereof; provided, that nothing in this Section 3.02 shall
limit in any manner the obligations of the Owner Trustee hereunder.
Section 3.03. Notice of Default. In the event that a Responsible
Officer in the Corporate Trust Department 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
given to the Trustor and the Indenture Trustee prompt telephone or facsimile
notice, followed by prompt confirmation thereof by certified mail, postage
prepaid (in any event within two Business Days of the discovery thereof), in
accordance with Article 14 of the Participation Agreement, of such Default,
Event of Default, Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default. Subject to
the terms of Section 3.06(e) hereof and the rights of the Indenture Trustee
under the Indenture, the Owner Trustee shall take such action with respect to
such Default, Event of Default, Indenture Default or Indenture Event of
Default as shall be specified in written instructions from the Trustor;
provided that the Owner Trustee shall have no duty to take any (and shall take
no) action whatsoever in the absence of written instructions from the Trustor.

Indenture Default or Indenture Event of Default unless notified in writing by
the Lessee, the Trustor, the Indenture Trustee or any Certificate Holder.
Section 3.04. Action Upon Instructions. Upon the written
instructions at any time and from time to time of the Trustor, the Owner
Trustee will take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with
provisions of the Indenture, as may be specified in such instructions.

(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 written 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 FSB 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, FSB 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 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.

Matters. NEITHER THE OWNER TRUSTEE NOR FSB 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,

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 FSB and except that FSB
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 FSB and (assuming due
authorization, execution and delivery of this Trust Agreement by the Trustor)
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of FSB 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. The Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity, or any corporation in or with which the Owner Trustee 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
Owner Trustee means the Chairman or the Vice-Chairman of the Board of

"Vice President"), the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, or any other
officer in the Corporate Trust Department of FSB customarily performing
functions similar to those performed by any of the above designated officers.
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, 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, in form and substance
acceptable to the predecessor Owner Trustee and the Trustor 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 FSB. Any corporation into
which FSB in its individual capacity may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which FSB shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the
business of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity may be transferred,
shall, subject to Section 11.01 of the Participation Agreement, 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, if the Owner Trustee or 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 Owner Trustee by an instrument in
writing signed by it, shall appoint one or more Persons approved by the
Trustor 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 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 sent in accordance with Article 14 of the
Participation Agreement 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 in what
it deems to be the best interests of the Trustor or for any failure to act in
any situation described above in this Section 3.15. The provisions of this
Section 3.15 shall not be applicable to the Owner Trustee's obligations set
forth 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 its 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, will furnish the Trustor with all such information as
may be reasonably required or necessary 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 and 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, however, that the Owner Trustee shall send a completed copy of each
such return to the Trustor not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the
due date of such return; provided that the Owner Trustee shall have timely
received all necessary information to complete and deliver to the Trustor such
return. The Trustor, upon request, will furnish the Owner Trustee with all
such information as may be required from the Trustor 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) 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
(b) 21 years 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 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.
Section 4.02. Termination at Option of the Trustor. Notwithstanding
Section 4.01 hereof, this Agreement and the trust created hereby shall
terminate and the Trust Estate shall be distributed to the Trustor, and this
Agreement shall be of no further force and effect, upon the election of the
Trustor by notice to the Owner Trustee, if such notice shall be accompanied by
the written agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner
Trustee) of the Trustor assuming all the obligations of the Owner Trustee
under or contemplated by the Operative Agreements or incurred by it as trustee
hereunder and releasing the Owner Trustee therefrom; provided, however, that
such notice may be given only after the time the Lien of the Indenture is
discharged under Section 14.01 of the Indenture unless the Trustor shall have
received the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee to any such
termination in which case such notice may be given while the Lien of the
Indenture is outstanding.
Section 4.03. 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

all loss, damage, liability, claims, demands, disbursements and expenses,
including Taxes (excluding Taxes imposed against FSB upon or with respect to
any fees for services rendered in its capacity as Trustee hereunder) and
reasonable counsel fees which may be incurred by reason of its being the Owner
Trustee or acting hereunder or under the Operative Agreements or the Original

not have any such Lien (and the Trustor shall have no obligation) in respect
of any such loss, damage, liability, claims, demands, disbursements and
expenses, including Taxes and counsel fees, arising from or as a result of (A)

individual capacity in this Agreement, Article 5 of the Lease, Sections

9.01(b) of the Participation Agreement; provided, that, before asserting any
right to payment or indemnification hereunder, FSB shall first demand 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

payment and reimbursement as herein provided. The provisions of this Section
shall continue in force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this

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
Trustor 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 shall comply with the provisions of Section 7.13 of the
Participation Agreement. 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 FSB or

the Lessee, the Trustor, the Indenture Trustee or any Certificate Holder.
Section 3.04. Action Upon Instructions. Upon the written

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

(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 FSB 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, FSB 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,

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.

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),

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

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

Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or Assistant Secretary or other duly
authorized officer of such party; and any resolution of the Board of

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

the Owner Trustee;

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

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

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.

constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of FSB 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

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 3.11. 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

of such appointment by such successor. In addition, 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

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, in form and substance
acceptable to the predecessor Owner Trustee and the Trustor 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 FSB. Any corporation into
which FSB in its individual capacity may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which FSB shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the
business of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity may be transferred,
shall, subject to Section 11.01 of the Participation Agreement, 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, if the Owner Trustee or 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 Owner Trustee by an instrument in
writing signed by it, shall appoint one or more Persons approved by the
Trustor 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 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 sent in accordance with Article 14 of the
Participation Agreement 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 in what
it deems to be the best interests of the Trustor or for any failure to act in
any situation described above in this Section 3.15. The provisions of this
Section 3.15 shall not be applicable to the Owner Trustee's obligations set
forth 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 its 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, will furnish the Trustor with all such information as
may be reasonably required or necessary 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 and 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, however, that the Owner Trustee shall send a completed copy of each
such return to the Trustor not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the
due date of such return; provided that the Owner Trustee shall have timely
received all necessary information to complete and deliver to the Trustor such
return. The Trustor, upon request, will furnish the Owner Trustee with all
such information as may be required from the Trustor in connection with the
preparation of such income tax returns.

provided for hereby shall cease and be terminated in any one of the following
events, whichever shall first occur:
(a) 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
(b) 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of

however, that if the Trust shall be or become valid under applicable law
for a period subsequent to 21 years 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.
Section 4.02. Termination at Option of the Trustor. Notwithstanding
Section 4.01 hereof, this Agreement and the trust created hereby shall
terminate and the Trust Estate shall be distributed to the Trustor, and this
Agreement shall be of no further force and effect, upon the election of the
Trustor by notice to the Owner Trustee, if such notice shall be accompanied by
the written agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner
Trustee) of the Trustor assuming all the obligations of the Owner Trustee
under or contemplated by the Operative Agreements or incurred by it as trustee
hereunder and releasing the Owner Trustee therefrom; provided, however, that
such notice may be given only after the time the Lien of the Indenture is
discharged under Section 14.01 of the Indenture unless the Trustor shall have
received the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee to any such
termination in which case such notice may be given while the Lien of the
Indenture is outstanding.
Section 4.03. 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 6
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 6.01. Indemnification. The Trustor and its assigns agree to
reimburse and save FSB, in its individual capacity, harmless against any and
all loss, damage, liability, claims, demands, disbursements and expenses,
including Taxes (excluding Taxes imposed against FSB upon or with respect to
any fees for services rendered in its capacity as Trustee hereunder) and
reasonable counsel fees which may be incurred by reason of its being the Owner
Trustee or acting hereunder or under the Operative Agreements or the Original
Agreements, but solely by reason thereof and arising out of or relating solely
to this Agreement or the other Operative Agreements or the Original Agreements
or the Aircraft or the Rents and other sums payable therefor, or by reason of
any occurrence directly relating thereto while so acting, and to secure the
payment thereof, FSB, 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 the Original Agreements and
subject and subordinate to the Lien of the Indenture), except that FSB shall
not have any such Lien (and the Trustor shall have no obligation) in respect
of any such loss, damage, liability, claims, demands, disbursements and
expenses, including Taxes and counsel fees, arising from or as a result of (A)
FSB's or the Owner Trustee's willful misconduct or gross negligence (in its
individual capacity or as trustee), (B) any inaccuracy of any representation
of FSB or any breach by FSB of its warranties and covenants given in its
individual capacity in this Agreement, Article 5 of the Lease, Sections
7.02(a) and (b) and 7.04 of the Participation Agreement and its
representations and warranties in Sections 3.05 and 3.08 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 FSB in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Lease, the Indenture and

Section 6.01, subsections (ii) and (v) of Section 8.01(b) of the Participation
Agreement) or (G) Expenses excluded from indemnification pursuant to Section
9.01(b) of the Participation Agreement; provided, that, before asserting any
right to payment or indemnification hereunder, FSB shall first demand 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 FSB to indemnity,
payment and reimbursement as herein provided. 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. FSB or the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity or as
trustee, as the case may be) agrees that it shall have no right against the
Trustor or the Trust Indenture Estate for any fee as compensation for its
services hereunder. Upon any assignment, conveyance or transfer of all of the
Beneficial Interest, the transferor Trustor shall, upon such assignment,
conveyance or transfer, be released and discharged without further act or
formality whatsoever from the indemnification obligations imposed under this
Section 6.01 arising after such transfer date.
Section 6.02. Supplements and Amendments. At any time and from time
to time, only upon the written request of the Trustor (a) FSB 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 Section
8.01 of the Indenture, enter into or consent to such written amendment or
modification of or supplement to any of the Operative Agreements as the
Trustor 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
Trustor 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 shall comply with the provisions of Section 7.13 of the
Participation Agreement. 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 FSB or
the Owner Trustee of any document pursuant to this Section, the Owner Trustee
shall mail a conformed copy thereof to the Trustor, the Indenture Trustee and
the Lessee, 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

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 in and to the
Operative Agreements or the right, title and interest of the Owner Trustee and
the Trustor in and to 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
