SECTION 2.6 Controlling Party. (a) The Trustees and the
Liquidity Providers hereby agree that, with respect to any Indenture at any
given time, the Indenture Trustee thereunder will be directed (i) in taking, or
refraining from taking, any action with respect to such Indenture or the
Equipment Notes issued thereunder, so long as no Indenture Default has occurred
and is continuing thereunder, by the holders of at least a majority of the
outstanding principal amount of such Equipment Notes (provided that, for so long
as the Subordination Agent is the registered holder of the Equipment Notes, the
Subordination Agent shall act with respect to this clause (i) in accordance with
the directions of the Trustees representing holders of Certificates representing
an undivided interest in such principal amount of Equipment Notes), and (ii)
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Indenture Default
thereunder (which has not been cured by the applicable Owner Trustee or the
applicable Owner Participant pursuant to Section 4.3 of such Indenture), in
taking, or refraining from taking, any action with respect to such Indenture or
such Equipment Notes, including exercising remedies thereunder (including
accelerating the Equipment Notes issued thereunder or foreclosing the Lien on
the Aircraft or Spare Engine securing such Equipment Notes), by the Controlling

the Class C Trustee; (y) upon payment of Final Distributions to the holders of
Class C Certificates, the Class D Trustee; and (z) upon payment of Final
Distributions to the holders of Class D Certificates, the Class E Trustee. For
purposes of giving effect to the foregoing, the Trustees (other than the
Controlling Party) irrevocably agree (and the Certificateholders (other than the
Certificateholders represented by the Controlling Party) shall be deemed to
agree by virtue of their purchase of Certificates) that the Subordination Agent,
as record holder of the Equipment Notes, shall exercise its voting rights in
respect of the Equipment Notes as directed by the Controlling Party and any vote
so exercised shall be binding upon the Trustees and all Certificateholders.
The Subordination Agent shall give written notice to all of
the other parties to this Agreement promptly upon a change in the identity of
the Controlling Party. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it shall not
exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Party at such time as it is not
the Controlling Party
-27-
32
hereunder; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent or
prohibit any Non-Controlling Party from exercising such rights as shall be
specifically granted to such Non-Controlling Party hereunder and under the
other Operative Agreements.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Liquidity Provider with
the then greatest amount of unreimbursed Liquidity Obligations payable to it
under the Liquidity Facilities shall have the right to elect, by Written Notice
to the Subordination Agent and each of the Trustees, to become the Controlling
Party hereunder with respect to any Indenture at any time from and including the
date which is 18 months after the earlier of (i) the Acceleration of the
Equipment Notes under such Indenture and (ii) a Final Drawing with respect to
the Liquidity Facilities, if, in the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, at the
time of such election all Liquidity Obligations owed to such Liquidity Provider
under the Liquidity Facilities have not been paid in full.
(d) The exercise of remedies by the Controlling Party under
this Agreement shall be expressly limited by Section 4.1(a)(ii) hereof.
(e) The Controlling Party shall not be entitled to require or
obligate any Non-Controlling Party to provide funds necessary to exercise any
right or remedy hereunder.

this Agreement, the Subordination Agent shall not have sufficient funds for the
payment of any amounts due and owing in respect of accrued interest on the Class
A Certificates, the Class B Certificates or the Class C Certificates (at the
Stated Interest Rate for such Class of Certificates), then, prior to 12:00 noon
(New York City time) on the Business Day following such Distribution Date, the
Subordination Agent shall request a drawing (each such drawing, an "Interest
Drawing") under the Liquidity Facility with respect to such Class of
Certificates in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) an amount sufficient to pay
the amount of such accrued interest (at the Stated Interest Rate for such Class
of Certificates) and (ii) the Available Amount under such Liquidity Facility,
and shall pay such amount to the Trustee with respect to such Class of
Certificates in payment of such accrued interest.
(b) Application of Interest Drawings. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) all payments received by the
Subordination Agent in respect of an Interest Drawing under the Class A
Liquidity Facility and all amounts withdrawn by the Subordination Agent from the
Class A Cash Collateral Account, and payable in each case to the Class A
Certificateholders, shall be promptly distributed to the Class A Trustee, (ii)
all payments received by the Subordination Agent in respect of an Interest
Drawing under the Class B Liquidity Facility and all amounts withdrawn by the
Subordination Agent from the Class B Cash Collateral Account, and payable in
each case to the Class B Certificateholders, shall be promptly distributed to
the Class B Trustee and (iii) all payments received by the Subordination Agent
in respect of an Interest Drawing under the Class C Liquidity Facility and all

(c) Downgrade Drawings. If at any time the debt rating of any
Liquidity Provider issued by either Rating Agency is lower than the applicable
Threshold Rating, within 30 days after receiving notice of such downgrading (but
no later than the expiration date of the Liquidity Facility issued by the
downgraded Liquidity Provider (the "Downgraded Facility")), such Liquidity
Provider may arrange, or the Subordination Agent (in consultation with America
West (whose recommendations the Subordination Agent will accept)) may arrange,
for a Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement
Liquidity Facility to the Subordination Agent. If a Downgraded Facility has not
been replaced in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the Subordination
Agent shall, on such 30th day (or if
-35-
40
such 30th day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (or,
if earlier, the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility), request a drawing
in accordance with and to the extent permitted by such Downgraded Facility (such
drawing, a "Downgrade Drawing") of all available and undrawn amounts thereunder.
Amounts drawn pursuant to a Downgrade Drawing shall be maintained and invested
as provided in Section 3.6(f) hereof.
(d) [Reserved.]
(e) Issuance of Replacement Liquidity Facility. At any time,
the Subordination Agent may, at its option, in consultation with America West
(whose recommendations the Subordination Agent will accept), arrange for a
Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the Liquidity Facility for any Class
of Certificates; provided that the initial Liquidity Provider may not be
replaced pursuant to this paragraph unless (i) there shall have become due to
the initial Liquidity Provider amounts pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 of
the Liquidity Facilities and the replacement of the initial Liquidity Provider
would reduce or eliminate the obligation to pay such amounts, (ii) it shall
become unlawful or impossible for the initial Liquidity Provider (or its Lending
Office) to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances as described in Section 3.10 of
each Liquidity Facility or (iii) a Downgrade Drawing shall have occurred under
any Liquidity Facility. In any such consultation, the Subordination Agent shall
accept the recommendations of America West in the absence of a good faith reason
not to do so. If such Replacement Liquidity Facility is provided at any time
after a Downgrade Drawing has been made, all funds on deposit in the relevant
Cash Collateral Account will be returned to the Liquidity Provider being
replaced. No such Replacement Liquidity Facility executed in connection
therewith shall become effective and no such Replacement Liquidity Facility
shall be deemed a "Liquidity Facility" under the Operative Agreements, unless
and until (i) the conditions referred to in the immediately following paragraph
shall have been satisfied and (ii) if such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall
materially adversely affect the rights, remedies, interests or obligations of
the Class A Certificate- holders, the Class B Certificateholders or the Class C
Certificateholders under any of the Operative Agreements, the applicable Trustee
shall have consented, in writing, to the execution and issuance of such
Replacement Liquidity Facility.
In connection with the issuance of each Replacement Liquidity
Facility, the Subordination Agent shall (x) prior to the issuance of such
Replacement Liquidity Facility, receive written confirmation from each Rating
Agency that such Replacement Liquidity Facility will not cause a reduction,
withdrawal or suspension of the rating then in effect for any Class of
Certificates by such Rating Agency (without regard to the ratings of any
Liquidity Provider being replaced pursuant to
-36-
41
Section 3.6(c) hereof), (y) pay all Liquidity Obligations then owing to the
replaced Liquidity Provider (which payment shall be made first from available
funds in the Cash Collateral Account as described in clause (vii) of Section
3.6(f) hereof and thereafter from any other available source, including, without
limitation, a drawing under the Replacement Liquidity Facility, it being
understood that no Replacement Liquidity Facility shall become effective (other
than insofar as necessary to permit the repayment of amounts owed to the
replaced Liquidity Provider) until all amounts owed to the replaced Liquidity
Provider have been paid) and (z) cause the issuer of the Replacement Liquidity
Facility to deliver the Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Subordination
Agent, together with a legal opinion opining that such Replacement Liquidity
Facility is an enforceable obligation of such Replacement Liquidity Provider.
Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 3.6(e), (i) the
replaced Liquidity Facility shall terminate and (ii) such Replacement Liquidity
Provider shall be deemed to be a Liquidity Provider with the rights and
obligations of a Liquidity Provider hereunder and under the other Operative
Agreements and such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed to be a
Liquidity Facility hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements.
(f) Cash Collateral Accounts; Withdrawals; Investments. In the
event the Subordination Agent shall draw all available amounts under the Class A
Liquidity Facility, the Class B Liquidity Facility or the Class C Liquidity
Facility pursuant to Section 3.6(c) or a Final Drawing shall be made as provided
in the Liquidity Facility, amounts so drawn shall be deposited by the
Subordination Agent in the Class A Cash Collateral Account, the Class B Cash
Collateral Account or the Class C Cash Collateral Account, respectively. Amounts
so deposited shall be invested in Eligible Investments in accordance with
Section 2.2(b) hereof. Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Cash
Collateral Accounts shall be deposited in the Collection Account. In addition,
from and after the date funds are so deposited, the Subordination Agent shall
make withdrawals from such account as follows:
(i) on each Distribution Date, the Subordination Agent
shall, to the extent it shall not have received funds to pay accrued
and unpaid interest on the Class A Certificates (at the Stated Interest
Rate for the Class A Certificates) from any other source, withdraw from
the Class A Cash Collateral Account, and pay to the Class A Trustee an
amount equal to the lesser of (x) an amount necessary to pay accrued
and unpaid interest (at the Stated Interest Rate for the Class A
Certificates) on such Class A Certificates and (y) the amount on
deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account;
-37-
42
(ii) on each Distribution Date, the Subordination Agent
shall, to the extent it shall not have received funds to pay accrued
and unpaid interest on the Class B Certificates (at the Stated Interest
Rate for the Class B Certificates) from any other source, withdraw from
the Class B Cash Collateral Account, and pay to the Class B Trustee an
amount equal to the lesser of (x) an amount necessary to pay accrued
and unpaid interest (at the Stated Interest Rate for the Class B
Certificates) on such Class B Certificates and (y) the amount on
deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account;
(iii) on each Distribution Date, the Subordination Agent
shall, to the extent it shall not have received funds to pay accrued
and unpaid interest on the Class C Certificates (at the Stated Interest
Rate for the Class C Certificates) from any other source, withdraw from

amount equal to the lesser of (x) an amount necessary to pay accrued
and unpaid interest (at the Stated Interest Rate for the Class C
Certificates) on such Class C Certificates and (y) the amount on
deposit in the Class C Cash Collateral Account;
(iv) on each date on which the Pool Balance of the Class
A Trust shall have been reduced by payments made to the Class A
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 2.4, 3.2 or 3.3 hereof, the
Subordination Agent shall withdraw from the Class A Cash Collateral
Account such amount as is necessary so that, after giving effect to the
reduction of the Pool Balance on such date (including any such
reduction resulting from a prior withdrawal of amounts on deposit in
the Class A Cash Collateral Account on such date), the Required Amount
(with respect to the Class A Liquidity Facility) will be on deposit in
the Class A Cash Collateral Account and shall first, pay such amount to
the Class A Liquidity Provider until the Liquidity Obligations (with
respect to the Class A Certificates) shall have been paid in full, and
second, deposit any remaining amount in the Collection Account;
(v) on each date on which the Pool Balance of the Class
B Trust shall have been reduced by payments made to the Class B
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 2.4, 3.2 or 3.3 hereof, the
Subordination Agent shall withdraw from the Class B Cash Collateral
Account such amount as is necessary so that, after giving effect to the
reduction of the Pool Balance on such date (including any such
reduction resulting from a prior withdrawal of amounts on deposit in
the Class B
-38-
43
Cash Collateral Account on such date), the Required Amount (with
respect to the Class B Liquidity Facility) will be on deposit in the
Class B Cash Collateral Account and shall first, pay such amount to the
Class B Liquidity Provider until the Liquidity Obligations (with
respect to the Class B Certificates) shall have been paid in full, and
second, deposit any remaining amount in the Collection Account;
(vi) on each date on which the Pool Balance of the Class
C Trust shall have been reduced by payments made of the Class C
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 2.4, 3.2 or 3.3 hereof, the
Subordination Agent shall withdraw from the Class C Cash Collateral
Account such amount as is necessary so that, after giving effect to the
reduction of the Pool Balance on such date (including any such
reduction resulting from a prior withdrawal of amounts on deposit in
the Class C Cash Collateral Account on such date), the Required Amount
(with respect to the Class C Liquidity Facility) will be on deposit in
the Class C Cash Collateral Account and shall first, pay such amount to
the Class C Liquidity Provider until the Liquidity Obligations (with
respect to the Class C Certificates) shall have been paid in full, and
second, deposit any remaining amount in the Collection Account;
(vii) if a Replacement Liquidity Facility for any Class
of Certificates shall be delivered to the Subordination Agent following
the date on which funds have been deposited into the Cash Collateral
Account for such Class of Certificates, the Subordination Agent shall
withdraw all amounts on deposit in such Cash Collateral Account and
shall pay such amounts to the replaced Liquidity Provider until all
Liquidity Obligations owed to such Person shall have been paid in full,
and shall deposit any remaining amount in the Collection Account; and
(viii) following the payment of Final Distributions with
respect to any Class of Certificates (other than the Class D and Class
E Certificates), on the date on which the Subordination Agent shall
have been notified by the Liquidity Provider for such Class of
Certificates that the Liquidity Obligations owed to such Liquidity
Provider have been paid in full, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw
all amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account in respect of
such Class of Certificates and shall deposit such amount in the
Collection Account.

(g) Reinstatement. With respect to any Interest Drawing under
the Liquidity Facility for any Trust, upon the reimbursement of the applicable
Liquidity Provider for all or any part of the amount of such Interest Drawing,
together with any accrued interest thereon, the Available Amount of such
Liquidity Facility shall be reinstated by an amount equal to the amount so
reimbursed to the applicable Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that such
Liquidity Facility shall not be so reinstated in part or in full at any time if
(x) both (i) a Triggering Event shall have occurred and (ii) a Performing Note
Deficiency exists or (y) a Liquidity Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing under such Liquidity Facility. In the event that at any time prior to
both the occurrence of a Triggering Event and the existence of a Performing Note
Deficiency funds are withdrawn from any Cash Collateral Account pursuant to
clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 3.6(f) hereof, then funds received by the
Subordination Agent prior to both the occurrence of a Triggering Event and the
existence of a Performing Note Deficiency shall be deposited in such Cash

ARTICLE IV
EXERCISE OF REMEDIES
SECTION 4.1 Directions from the Controlling Party. (a) (i)
Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Default
under any Indenture, the Controlling Party shall direct the Indenture Trustee
under such Indenture in the exercise of remedies available to the holders of the
Equipment Notes issued pursuant to such Indenture, including, without
limitation, the ability to vote all such Equipment Notes in favor of declaring
all of the unpaid principal amount of such Equipment Notes and accrued interest
thereon to be due and payable under, and in accordance with, the provisions of
such Indenture. Subject to the Owner Trustees' and the Owner Participants'
rights set forth in the Indentures to purchase the Equipment Notes, if the
Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture have been Accelerated following
an Indenture Default with respect thereto, the Controlling Party may, on the
terms and conditions set forth in such Indenture, direct the related Trustee to
sell, assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver all (but not
less than all) of such Equipment Notes to any Person at public or private sale,
at any location at the option of the Controlling Party, all upon such terms and
conditions as it may reasonably deem advisable in accordance with applicable
law.
(ii) Subject to the Owner Trustees' and the Owner Participants'
rights set forth in the Indentures to purchase the Equipment Notes, and
notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Certificates remain Outstanding,
during the period ending on the date which is nine months after the earlier of
(x) the Acceleration of the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture or
(y) the occurrence of an America West Bankruptcy Event, without the consent of
each Trustee, (A) no Aircraft or Spare Engine subject to the Lien of such
Indenture or such Equipment Notes may be sold if the net proceeds from such sale
would be less than the Minimum Sale Price for such Aircraft, Spare Engine or
such Equipment Notes, and (B) the amount and payment dates of rentals payable by
America West under the Lease for such Aircraft or Spare Engine may not be
adjusted if, as a result of such adjustment, the discounted present value of all
such rentals would be less than 75% of the discounted present value of the
rentals payable by America West under such Lease before giving effect to such
adjustment, in each case, using the weighted average interest rate of the
Equipment Notes then outstanding pursuant to such Indenture as the discount
rate.
-41-
46
(iii) At the request of the Controlling Party, the Subordination
Agent may from time to time during the continuance of an Indenture Default (and
before the occurrence of a Triggering Event) commission LTV Appraisals with
respect to the related Aircraft or Spare Engine.
(iv) After a Triggering Event occurs and any Equipment Note
becomes a Non-Performing Equipment Note, the Subordination Agent shall obtain
LTV Appraisals for each Aircraft and Spare Engine as soon as practicable and
additional LTV Appraisals on or prior to each anniversary of the date of such
initial LTV Appraisals; provided that, if the Controlling Party reasonably
objects to the appraised value of the Aircraft or Spare Engine shown in any such
LTV Appraisals, the Controlling Party shall have the right to obtain or cause to
be obtained substitute LTV Appraisals (including any LTV Appraisals based upon
physical inspection of the Aircraft or Spare Engine).
(b) The Controlling Party shall take such actions as it may
reasonably deem most effectual to complete the sale or other disposition of such
Aircraft, Spare Engine or Equipment Notes. In addition, in lieu of any sale,
assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, the Subordination Agent, on
behalf of the Controlling Party, may maintain possession of such Equipment Notes
and continue to apply monies received in respect of such Equipment Notes in
accordance with Article III hereof. In addition, in lieu of such sale,
assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, or in lieu of such
maintenance of possession, the Controlling Party may instruct the Indenture
Trustee under such Indenture to foreclose on the Lien on the related Aircraft or
Spare Engine or to take any other remedial action permitted under such Indenture
or applicable law.
SECTION 4.2 Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right power
and remedy given to the Trustees, the Controlling Party or the Subordination
Agent specifically or otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall
be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given
or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every
right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing
may, subject always to the terms and conditions hereof, be exercised from time
to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by any
Trustee, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent, as appropriate, and
the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not
be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or
thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by any
Trustee, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent in the exercise of any
right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such
right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default or to be an
acquiescence therein.
-42-
47
SECTION 4.3 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case any party
to this Agreement (including the Controlling Party in such capacity) shall have
instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this
Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such Proceedings shall have
been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined
adversely to the Person instituting such Proceeding, then and in every such case
each such party shall, subject to any determination in such proceedings, be
restored to its former position and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies
and powers of such party shall continue as if no such Proceedings had been
instituted.
SECTION 4.4 Right of Certificateholders to Receive Payments
Not to Be Impaired. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding
but subject to each Trust Agreement, the right of any Certificateholder or any
Liquidity Provider, respectively, to receive payments pursuant to Section 2.4,
3.2 or 3.3 hereof when due, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after the applicable Distribution Date, shall not be impaired or
affected without the consent of such Certificateholder or such Liquidity
Provider, respectively.
SECTION 4.5 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement or in any suit against
any Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent for any action taken or omitted
by it as Controlling Party or Subordination Agent, as the case may be, a court
in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may
assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys, fees and expenses,
against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. The provisions of
this Section do not apply to a suit instituted by the Subordination Agent, a
Liquidity Provider or a Trustee or a suit by Certificateholders holding more
than 10% of the original principal amount of any Class of Certificates.
SECTION 4.6 No Action Contrary to America West's Rights Under
the Lease. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement to the
contrary, each of the parties hereto agrees for the benefit of America West that
it will not take any action contrary to America West's rights under any Lease,
including the right of America West to possession and use and quiet enjoyment of
the Equipment subject to such Lease, except in accordance with the provisions of
such Lease.

Providers or one or more Certificateholders.

each Liquidity Provider and Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof, duplicates

reasonably satisfactory to the Subordination Agent) against any liability, cost
or expense (including counsel fees and expenses) which may be incurred in
connection therewith. The Subordination Agent shall not be under any obligation
to take any action under this Agreement and nothing contained in this Agreement
shall require the Subordination Agent to expend or risk its own funds or

hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have

against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The
Subordination Agent shall not be required to take any action under Section 5.1
(other than the first sentence thereof) or Article IV hereof, nor shall any
other provision of this Agreement be deemed to impose a duty on the
Subordination Agent to take any action, if the Subordination Agent shall have
been advised by counsel that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or is
otherwise contrary to law.
SECTION 5.3 No Duties Except as Specified in Intercreditor
Agreement. The Subordination Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to take

individual capacity and at its own cost and expense (but without any right of
indemnity in respect of any such cost or expense under Section 7.1 hereof)
promptly take such action as may be necessary to discharge duly all Liens on any
of the Trust Accounts or any monies deposited therein which result from claims
against it in its individual capacity not related to its activities hereunder or
any other Operative Agreement.
SECTION 5.4 Notice from the Liquidity Providers and Trustees.
If a Responsible Officer of any Liquidity Provider or Trustee has notice of an
Indenture Default or a Triggering Event, such Liquidity Provider or Trustee, as

no such Person shall have any liability hereunder as a result of its failure to
deliver any such notice.

or warranty of the Subordination Agent made in its individual capacity in any

Balance of any Trust as of any date, the Subordination Agent may for all
purposes hereof rely on a certificate signed by any

Responsible Officer of the applicable Trustee, and such certificate shall
constitute full protection to the Subordination Agent for any action taken or

and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same agreement.
SECTION 10.9 Subordination. (a) As between the Liquidity
Providers, on the one hand, and the Trustees and the Certificateholders, on the
other hand, this Agreement shall be a subordination agreement for purposes of
Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, if prior
to the payment in full to the Liquidity Providers of all Liquidity Obligations
then due and payable, any party hereto shall have received any payment or
distribution in respect of Equipment Notes or any other amount under the
Indentures or other Operative Agreements which, had the subordination provisions
of this Agreement been properly applied to such payment, distribution or other
amount, would not have been distributed to such Person, then such payment,
distribution or other amount shall be received and held in trust by such Person
and paid over or delivered to the Subordination Agent for application as
provided herein.
(c) If any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider or the
Subordination Agent receives any payment in respect of any obligations owing
hereunder (or, in the case of the Liquidity Providers, in respect of the
Liquidity Obligations), which is subsequently invalidated, declared
preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or
other party, then, to the extent of such payment, such obligations (or, in the
case of the Liquidity Providers, such Liquidity Obligations) intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been received.
(d) The Trustees (on behalf of themselves and the holders of
Certificates), the Liquidity Providers and the Subordination Agent confirm that
the payment priorities specified in Sections 2.4, 3.2 and 3.3 shall apply in all
circumstances (including to the payment of any sum which would have accrued but
for the commencement of any applicable insolvency proceeding), notwithstanding
the fact that the obligations owed to the Trustees and the holders of
Certificates are secured by certain assets and the Liquidity Obligations are not
so secured. The Trustees expressly agree (on behalf of themselves and the
holders of Certificates) not to assert priority over the holders of
-54-
59
Liquidity Obligations due to their status as secured creditors in any
bankruptcy, insolvency or other legal proceeding.
(e) Each of the Trustees (on behalf of themselves and the
holders of Certificates), the Liquidity Providers and the Subordination Agent
may take any of the following actions without impairing its rights under this
Agreement:
(i) obtain a lien on any property to secure any amounts owing to
it hereunder, including, in the case of the Liquidity Providers, the
Liquidity Obligations,
(ii) obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any other
obligor with respect to any amounts owing to it hereunder, including,
in the case of the Liquidity Providers, any of the Liquidity
Obligations,
(iii) renew, extend, increase, alter or exchange any amounts owing
to it hereunder, including, in the case of the Liquidity Providers, any
of the Liquidity Obligations, or release or compromise any obligation
of any obligor with respect thereto,
(iv) refrain from exercising any right or remedy, or delay in
exercising such right or remedy, which it may have, or
(v) take any other action which might discharge a
subordinated party or a surety under applicable law.
SECTION 10.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL IN ALL
RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE.
