irrevocably appoints, authorizes and directs the Escrow Agent to act as escrow
agent and fiduciary hereunder and under the Deposit Agreement for such specific
purposes and with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Escrow Agent

or responsibilities except those
-3-
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement; (b) shall not

entity (other than the Escrow Agent) to perform any of its obligations hereunder
(whether or not the Escrow Agent shall have any knowledge thereof); and (c)
shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
hereunder or provided for herein or in connection herewith, except for its own
willful misconduct or gross negligence (or simple negligence in connection with
the handling of funds).
Section 1.02. Instruction; Etc. The Purchaser hereby irrevocably
directs the establishment of an escrow and accordingly instructs the Escrow
Agent, and the Escrow Agent agrees, (a) to enter into the Initial Deposit
Agreement and the Delayed Deposit Agreement and, if requested by ATA pursuant to
Section 4(a)(vii) of the Note Purchase Agreement, to enter into a Replacement
Deposit Agreement with the Replacement Depositary specified by the Company, (b)
to appoint the Paying Agent as provided for in this Agreement, (c) upon receipt
at any time and from time to time prior to the Termination Date (as defined
below) of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a
"Withdrawal Certificate") executed by the Pass Through Trustee, together with an
attached Notice of Purchase Withdrawal in substantially the form of Exhibit A to
the Deposit Agreement duly completed by the Pass Through Trustee (the
"Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal" and the withdrawal to which it
relates, a "Purchase Withdrawal"), immediately to execute the Applicable Notice
of Purchase Withdrawal as Escrow Agent and transmit it to the Depositary by
facsimile transmission in accordance with the Deposit Agreement; provided that,
upon the request of the Pass Through Trustee after such transmission, the Escrow
Agent shall cancel such Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, (d) upon
receipt at any time and from time to time prior to the Delivery Period
Termination Date of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto
(a "Prepayment Withdrawal Certificate") executed by the Pass Through Trustee,
together with an attached Notice of Prepayment Withdrawal in substantially the
form of Exhibit D to the Deposit Agreement duly completed by the Pass Through
Trustee (the "Applicable Notice of Prepayment Withdrawal" and the withdrawal to
which it relates, a "Prepayment Withdrawal"), immediately to execute the
Applicable Notice of Prepayment Withdrawal as Escrow Agent and transmit it to
the Depositary by facsimile transmission in accordance with the Deposit
Agreement; provided that, upon the request of the Pass Through Trustee after
such transmission, the Escrow Agent shall cancel such Applicable Notice of
Prepayment Withdrawal, and (e) upon receipt of a Withdrawal Certificate executed
by the Pass Through Trustee, together with an attached Notice of Replacement
Withdrawal in substantially the form of Exhibit C to the Deposit Agreement duly
completed by the Pass Through Trustee, to (i) give such Notice of Replacement
Withdrawal to the Depositary requesting a withdrawal, on the date specified in
such notice, which shall not be less than 15 days after such notice is given
(the "Replacement Withdrawal Date"), of all Deposits then held by the Depositary
together with, if the Replacement Withdrawal Date occurs on a Regular
Distribution Date, all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but
excluding the Replacement Withdrawal Date, and (ii) direct the Depositary to
transfer such Deposits on behalf of the Escrow Agent to the Replacement
Depositary in accordance with the Replacement Deposit Agreement and (f) if there
are any undrawn Deposits on the "Termination Date", which shall mean the earlier
of (i) September 29, 2002 and (ii) the day on which the Escrow Agent receives
-4-
notice from the Pass Through Trustee that the Pass Through Trustee's obligation
to purchase Equipment Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement has terminated, to
give notice to the Depositary (with a copy to the Paying Agent) substantially in
the form of Exhibit B to the Deposit Agreement requesting a withdrawal of all of
the remaining Deposits, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such
Deposits to the date of withdrawal, on the 15th day after the date that such
notice of withdrawal is given to the Depositary (or, if not a Business Day, on
the next succeeding Business Day) (a "Final Withdrawal"), provided that if the
day scheduled for the Final Withdrawal in accordance with the foregoing is
within 10 days before or after a Regular Distribution Date, then the Escrow
Agent shall request that such requested Final Withdrawal be made on such Regular
Distribution Date (the date of such requested withdrawal, the "Final Withdrawal
Date"). If for any reason the Escrow Agent shall have failed to give the Final
Withdrawal Notice to the Depositary on or before September 29, 2002, and there
are unwithdrawn Deposits on such date, the Final Withdrawal Date shall be deemed
to be October 14, 2002.
Section 1.03. Initial Escrow Amount; Issuance of Escrow Receipts.
The Escrow Agent hereby directs the Purchaser to, and the Purchaser hereby
acknowledges that on the date hereof it shall, irrevocably deliver by wire
transfer to the Depositary on behalf of the Escrow Agent an amount in U.S.
dollars ("Dollars") and immediately available funds equal to $89,886,351.34 for
deposit on behalf of the Escrow Agent with the Depositary in accordance with
Section 2.1 of the Deposit Agreement. The Purchaser hereby instructs the Escrow
Agent, upon receipt of such sum from the Purchaser, to confirm such receipt by
executing and delivering to the Pass Through Trustee an Escrow Receipt in the
form of Exhibit A hereto (an "Escrow Receipt"), (a) to be affixed by the Pass
Through Trustee to each Certificate and (b) to evidence the same percentage
interest (the "Escrow Interest") in the Account Amounts (as defined in Section
1.04) as the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Pass Through Trust evidenced
by the Certificate to which it is to be affixed. The Escrow Agent shall provide
to the Pass Through Trustee for attachment to each Certificate newly issued
under and in accordance with the Pass Through Trust Agreement an executed Escrow
Receipt as the Pass Through Trustee may from time to time request of the Escrow
Agent. Each Escrow Receipt shall be registered by the Escrow Agent in a register
(the "Register") maintained by the Escrow Agent in the same name and same manner
as the Certificate to which it is attached and may not thereafter be detached
from such Certificate to which it is to be affixed prior to the distribution of
the Final Withdrawal (the "Final Distribution"). After the Final Distribution,
no Escrow Receipts shall be issued and the Pass Through Trustee shall request
the return to the Escrow Agent for cancellation of all outstanding Escrow
Receipts.
Section 1.04. Payments to Receiptholders. All payments and
distributions made to holders of an Escrow Receipt (collectively
"Receiptholders") in respect of the Escrow Receipt shall be made only from
amounts deposited in the Paying Agent Account ("Account Amounts"). Each
Receiptholder, by its acceptance of an Escrow Receipt, agrees that (a) it will
look solely to the Account Amounts for any payment or distribution due to such
Receiptholder pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Receipt and this Agreement and
(b) it will have no recourse to ATA, the Pass Through Trustee, the Paying Agent
or the Escrow Agent for any such payment or distribution, except as expressly
provided herein or in the Pass Through Trust Agreement. No Receiptholder shall
have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
-5-
management of the Paying Agent Account or the obligations of the parties hereto,
nor shall anything set forth herein, or contained in the terms of the Escrow
Receipt, be construed so as to constitute the Receiptholders from time to time
as partners or members of an association.
Section 1.05. Mutilated, Destroyed Lost or Stolen Escrow Receipt.
If (a) any mutilated Escrow Receipt is surrendered to the Escrow Agent or the
Escrow Agent receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Escrow Receipt and (b) there is delivered to the Escrow Agent and
the Pass Through Trustee such security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by
them to hold each of them harmless, then, absent notice to the Escrow Agent or
the Pass Through Trustee that such destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipt has
been acquired by a protected purchaser, and provided that the requirements of
Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any applicable
jurisdiction are met, the Escrow Agent shall execute, authenticate and deliver,
in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Escrow Receipt, a new Escrow Receipt or Escrow Receipts and of like Escrow
Interest in the Account Amounts and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.
In connection with the issuance of any new Escrow Receipt under
this Section 1.05, the Escrow Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Pass
Through Trustee and the Escrow Agent) connected therewith.
Any duplicate Escrow Receipt issued pursuant to this Section 1.05
shall constitute conclusive evidence of the appropriate Escrow Interest in the
Account Amounts, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed Escrow Receipt shall be found at any time.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipts.
Section 1.06. Additional Escrow Amounts. On the date of any
Purchase Withdrawal, the Pass Through Trustee may re-deposit with the Depositary
some or all of the amounts so withdrawn in accordance with Section 2.4 of the
Deposit Agreement.
Section 1.07. Resignation or Removal of Escrow Agent. Subject to
the appointment and acceptance of a successor Escrow Agent as provided below,
the Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice
thereof to the Investors, but may not otherwise be removed except for cause by
the written consent of the Investors with respect to Investors representing
Escrow Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Account
Amounts (an "Action of Investors"). Upon any such resignation or removal, the
Investors, by an Action of Investors, shall have the right to appoint a
successor Escrow Agent. If no successor Escrow Agent shall have been so
appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Escrow Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the
retiring Escrow Agent, then the retiring Escrow Agent may appoint a successor
Escrow Agent, which shall be a commercial bank which has an office in the United
States with a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Escrow Agent hereunder by a successor Escrow
Agent, such successor Escrow
-6-
Agent shall enter into such documents as the Pass Through Trustee shall require
and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Escrow Agent, and the retiring Escrow
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. No
resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent shall be effective unless a written
confirmation shall have been obtained from Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc. that
the replacement of the Escrow Agent with the successor Escrow Agent will not
result in (a) a reduction of the rating for the Certificates below the then
current rating for the Certificates or (b) a withdrawal or suspension of the
rating of the Certificates.
Section 1.08. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent
may treat the Person in whose name any Escrow Receipt is registered (as of the
day of determination) as the owner of such Escrow Receipt for the purpose of
receiving distributions pursuant to this Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and none of the Escrow Agent or the Paying Agent shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary.
Section 1.09. Further Assurances. The Escrow Agent agrees to take
such actions, and execute such other documents, as may be reasonably requested
by the Pass Through Trustee in order to effectuate the purposes of this
Agreement and the performance by the Escrow Agent of its obligations hereunder.
SECTION 2. Paying Agent.
Section 2.01. Appointment of Paying Agent. The Escrow Agent hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Paying Agent to act as its paying agent
hereunder, for the benefit of the Investors, for such specific purposes and with
such powers as are specifically delegated to the Paying Agent by the terms of
this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Paying Agent is authorized to enter into the Delayed Funding
Implementation Agreement. Any and all money received and held by the Paying
Agent under this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall be held in the Paying
Agent Account (as defined below) for the benefit of the Investors. The Paying
Agent (which term as used in this sentence shall include reference to its
affiliates and its own and its affiliates' officers, directors, employees and
agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities hereunder except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement, and shall not by reason of this Agreement
be a trustee for the Escrow Agent; (b) shall not be responsible to the Escrow
Agent for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties of any person
other than itself contained in this Agreement or for the failure by the Escrow
Agent or any other person or entity (other than the Paying Agent) to perform any
of its obligations hereunder (whether or not the Paying Agent shall have any
knowledge thereof); and (c) except in respect of its express obligations
hereunder, shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken
by it hereunder or provided for herein or in connection herewith, except for its
own willful misconduct or gross negligence (or simple negligence in connection
with the handling of funds).
Section 2.02. Establishment of Paving Agent Account. The Paying
Agent shall establish a deposit account (the "Paying Agent Account") at
Wilmington Trust Company in the name of the Escrow Agent. It is expressly
understood by the parties hereto that the Paying Agent
-7-
is acting as the paying agent of the Escrow Agent hereunder and that no amounts
on deposit in the Paying Agent Account constitute part of the Trust Property.
Section 2.03. Payments from Paying Agent Account. The Escrow Agent
hereby irrevocably instructs the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent agrees to
act, as follows:
(a) On each Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Deposit
Agreement) or as soon thereafter as the Paying Agent has confirmed receipt in
the Paying Agent Account from the Depositary of any amount in respect of accrued
interest on the Deposits, the Paying Agent shall distribute out of the Paying
Agent Account the entire amount deposited therein by the Depositary. There shall
be so distributed to each Receiptholder of record on the 15th day (whether or
not a Business Day) preceding such Interest Payment Date by check mailed to such
Receiptholder, at the address appearing in the Register, such Receiptholder's
pro rata share (based on the Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts held by such
Receiptholder) of the total amount of interest deposited by the Depositary in
the Paying Agent Account on such date, except that, with respect to Escrow
Receipts registered on the Record Date in the name of The Depository Trust
Company ("DTC") or the Purchaser, such distribution shall be made by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by DTC or the
Purchaser, as the case may be.
(b) Upon the confirmation by the Paying Agent of receipt in the
Paying Agent Account from the Depositary of any amount in respect of the Final
Withdrawal, the Paying Agent shall forthwith distribute the entire amount of the
Final Withdrawal deposited therein by the Depositary to each Receiptholder of
record on the 15th day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the Final
Withdrawal Date by check mailed to such Receiptholder, at the address appearing
in the Register, such Receiptholder's pro rata share (based on the Escrow
Interest in the Account Amounts held by such Receiptholder) of the total amount
in the Paying Agent Account on account of such Final Withdrawal, except that,
with respect to Escrow Receipts registered on such record date in the name of
DTC or the Purchaser, such distribution shall be made by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account designated by DTC or the Purchaser,
as the case may be.
(c) If any payment of interest or principal in respect of the Final
Withdrawal is not received by the Paying Agent within five days of the
applicable date when due, then it shall be distributed to Receiptholders after
actual receipt by the Paying Agent on the same basis as a Special Payment is
distributed under the Pass Through Trust Agreement.
(d) Upon the confirmation by the Paying Agent of receipt in the
Paying Agent Account from the Depositary of any amount in respect of a
Prepayment Withdrawal, the Paying Agent shall forthwith distribute the entire
amount of such Prepayment Withdrawal upon not less than 15 days prior notice to
the Receipt holders. There shall be distributed to each Receiptholder of record
on the 15th day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding such date of
distribution by check mailed to such Receiptholder, at the address appearing in
the Register, such Receiptholder's pro rata share (based on the Escrow Interest
in the Account Amounts held by such Receiptholder) of the total amount in the
Paying Agent Account on account of such Prepayment Withdrawal, except that, with
respect to the Escrow Receipts registered on such
-8-
record date in the name of a nominee of DTC, such distribution shall be made by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by DTC.
(e) The Paying Agent shall include with any check mailed pursuant
to this Section or any payment to the Purchaser, any notice required to be
distributed under the Pass Through Trust Agreement that is furnished to the
Paying Agent by the Pass Through Trustee.
Section 2.04. Withholding Taxes. The Paying Agent shall exclude and
withhold from each distribution of accrued interest on the Deposits (as defined
in the Deposit Agreement) and any amount in respect of any Prepayment Withdrawal
or the Final Withdrawal any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as
required by federal law of the United States. The Paying Agent agrees to act as
such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or
future taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any
amounts payable in respect of the Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement)
or the escrow amounts, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the
appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Receiptholders, that
it will file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and
that, as promptly as possible after the payment thereof, it will deliver to each
such Receiptholder appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof,
together with such additional documentary evidence as such Receiptholder may
reasonably request from time to time. The Paying Agent agrees to file any other
information reports as it may be required to file under United States law. Each
Receiptholder or beneficial owner of an interest in an Escrow Receipt that is a
Non-U.S. Person, by its acceptance of an Escrow Receipt or a beneficial interest
therein, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and the Paying
Agent from and against any improper failure to withhold Taxes from amounts
payable to it or for its benefit other than an improper failure attributable to
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent or the Paying
Agent, as the case may be. The Paying Agent agrees, to the extent required by
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and applicable
federal regulations thereunder, to withhold from each payment due hereunder or
under any Escrow Receipts, United States withholding taxes at the appropriate
rate, and, on a timely basis, to deposit such amounts with the appropriate
taxing authority and make such returns, filings and other reports in connection
therewith as are required by the Code and as promptly as possible after the
payment thereof to deliver to each such Receiptholder appropriate documentation
showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence
as such Receiptholder may reasonably request from time to time. In the event
that any withholding tax is imposed on a payment to a Receiptholder, such tax
shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Receiptholder in
accordance with this Section. Any Receiptholder which is organized under the
laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date
such Receiptholder becomes a Receiptholder, (a) so notify the Paying Agent, (b)
(i) provide the Paying Agent with Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or
W-8ECI, as appropriate (or any successor form), or (ii) notify the Paying Agent
that it is not entitled to an exemption from United States withholding tax or a
reduction in the rate thereof on payments of interest. Any such Receiptholder
agrees by its acceptance of an Escrow Receipt, on an ongoing basis, to provide
like certification for each taxable year and to notify the Paying Agent should
subsequent circumstances arise affecting the information provided the Paying
Agent in clauses (a) and (b) above. The Paying Agent shall be fully protected in
relying upon, and each Receiptholder by its acceptance of an Escrow Receipt
agrees to indemnify and hold the Paying Agent harmless
-9-
against all claims or liability of any kind arising in connection with or
related to the Paying Agent's reliance upon any documents, forms or information
provided by any Receiptholder to the Paying Agent. In addition, if the Paying
Agent has not withheld taxes on any payment made to any Receiptholder, and the
Paying Agent is subsequently required to remit to any taxing authority any such
amount not withheld, such Receiptholder shall return such amount to the Paying
Agent upon written demand by the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall be liable
only for direct (but not consequential) damages to any Receiptholder due to the
Paying Agent's violation of the Code and only to the extent such liability is
caused by the Paying Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 2.05. Resignation or Removal of Paying Agent. Subject to
the appointment and acceptance of a successor Paying Agent as provided below,
the Paying Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice
thereof to the Escrow Agent, but may not otherwise be removed except for cause
by the Escrow Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Escrow Agent
shall have the right to appoint a successor Paying Agent, which shall be a
commercial bank which has an office in the United States with a combined capital
and surplus of at least $100,000,000. If no successor Paying Agent shall have
been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after
the retiring Paying Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the removal of
the retiring Paying Agent, then the retiring Paying Agent may (i) appoint a
successor Paying Agent, which shall be a commercial bank which has an office in
the United States with a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000
or (ii) petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint such a successor.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Paying Agent hereunder by a successor
Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent shall enter into such documents as the
Escrow Agent shall require and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Paying Agent, and
the retiring Paying Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder.
Section 2.06. Notice of Prepayment Withdrawal and Final Withdrawal.
Promptly after receipt by the Paying Agent of notice that the Escrow Agent has
requested a Prepayment Withdrawal or a Final Withdrawal or that a Prepayment
Withdrawal or a Final Withdrawal will be made, the Paying Agent shall cause
notice of the distribution of the Final Withdrawal to be mailed to each of the
Receiptholders at its address as it appears in the Register. Such notice shall
be mailed not less than 15 days prior to the distribution date of such
Prepayment Withdrawal (the "Prepayment Withdrawal Date") or the Final Withdrawal
Date. Such notice shall set forth:
(i) the Prepayment Withdrawal Date or the Final Withdrawal Date and
the date for determining Receiptholders of record who shall be entitled
to receive distributions in respect of the Prepayment Withdrawal or the
Final Withdrawal,
(ii) the amount of the payment in respect of the Prepayment
Withdrawal or Final Withdrawal for each $1,000 face amount Certificate
(based on information provided by the Pass Through Trustee) and the
amount thereof constituting unused Deposits (as defined in the Deposit
Agreement) and interest thereon, and
(iii) if the Prepayment Withdrawal Date or the Final Withdrawal
Date is the same date as a Regular Distribution Date, the total amount to
be received on such date for
-10-
each $1,000 face amount Certificate (based on information provided by the
Pass Through Trustee).
Such mailing may include any notice required to be given to
Certificateholders in connection with such distribution pursuant to the Pass
Through Trust Agreement.
SECTION 3. Payments. If, notwithstanding the instructions in
Section 4 of the Deposit Agreement that certain amounts payable to the Escrow
Agent under the Deposit Agreement be paid by the Depositary directly to the
Paying Agent or the Pass Through Trustee (depending on the circumstances), the
Escrow Agent receives any such payment thereunder, then the Escrow Agent shall
forthwith pay such amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds by wire
transfer to (a) in the case of a payment of accrued interest on the Deposits (as
defined in the Deposit Agreement), any Prepayment Withdrawal or any Final
Withdrawal, directly to the Paying Agent Account, (b) in the case of any
Purchase Withdrawal, directly to the Pass Through Trustee or its designee as
specified and in the manner provided in the Applicable Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal and (c) in the case of any Replacement Withdrawal (other than accrued
interest), to the Replacement Depositary as provided in the Replacement
Depositary Agreement. The Escrow Agent hereby waives any and all rights of
set-off, combination of accounts, right of retention or any similar right
(whether arising under applicable law, contract or otherwise) it may have
against amounts payable to the Paying Agent howsoever arising.
SECTION 4. Other Actions. The Escrow Agent shall take such other
actions under or in respect of the Deposit Agreement (including, without
limitation, the enforcement of the obligations of the Depositary thereunder) as
the Investors, by an Action of Investors, may from time to time request.
SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties of the Escrow Agent. The
Escrow Agent represents and warrants to ATA, the Investors, the Paying Agent and
the Pass Through Trustee as follows:
(i) it is a national banking association duly organized and
validly existing in good standing under the laws of the
United States of America;
(ii) it has full power, authority and legal right to conduct its
business and operations as currently conducted and to enter
into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the
Deposit Agreement and any Replacement Deposit Agreement;
(iii) the execution, delivery and performance of each of this

Agent may conclusively rely on such certificate until the Escrow Agent receives
written notice from the Pass Through Trustee to the contrary.
SECTION 10. Transfer. No party hereto shall be entitled to assign
or otherwise transfer this Agreement (or any interest herein) other than (in the

Purchaser shall only be required to pay (a) any fees or liabilities that it may

hereunder only to the extent the Purchaser has Excess Funds. In addition, no

Purchaser is required to pay in accordance with the preceding sentence shall
constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 to Title 11 of the United States
Code) against the Purchaser. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any
amount owing hereunder or for the payment of any fee hereunder or any other
obligation of, or claim against, the Purchaser arising out of or based upon this
Agreement, against any stockholder, employee, officer, director, incorporator or
manager of the Purchaser or affiliate thereof except as otherwise provided in
this Section 12; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve any
such person or entity of any liability they might otherwise have as a result of
fraudulent actions or omissions taken by them. Any and all claims against the
Purchaser shall be subordinate to the claims of the holders of the notes issued
by the Purchaser. The obligations of the Escrow Agent, the Pass Through Trustee
and the Paying Agent under this Section 12 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement. For purposes of this Section 12, "Excess Funds" shall mean, as of any
date of

determination, all funds not required, after giving effect to all
amounts on deposit in the commercial paper account of the Purchaser and the
issuer account of the Purchaser or expected to be on deposit in the commercial
paper account of the Purchaser, to pay or provide for the payment of any
outstanding notes issued by the Purchaser when due.
