permitted by Section 12.5 of the Lease.
HABENDUM CLAUSE
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD all and singular the aforesaid property unto the
Indenture Trustee, its successors and assigns, in trust for the benefit and
security of the holders of each series of the Equipment Notes from time to
time, without any priority of any one Equipment Note of a particular series
over any other Equipment Note of the same series or any one series of the
Equipment Notes over any other, and for the uses and purposes, and subject to
the terms and provisions, set forth in this Indenture.
It is expressly agreed that anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall remain liable under each of the
Operative Agreements to which it is a party to perform all of the obligations,
if any, assumed by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the
terms and provisions thereof, and the Indenture Trustee and the holders of the
Equipment Notes shall have no obligation or liability under any of the
Operative Agreements to which the Owner Trustee is a party by reason of or
arising out of this assignment, nor shall the Indenture Trustee (unless the
Indenture Trustee shall have become the "Lessor" under the Lease) or the
holders of the Equipment Notes be required or obligated in any manner to
perform or fulfill any obligations of the Owner Trustee under or pursuant to
any of the Operative Agreements to which the Owner Trustee is a party or,
except as herein expressly provided, to make any payment, or to make any
inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or
present or file any claim, or take any action to collect or enforce the payment
of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be
entitled at any time or times.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Owner Trustee does
hereby constitute the Indenture Trustee the true and lawful attorney of the
Owner Trustee, irrevocably, with full power (in the name of the Owner Trustee
or otherwise), upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture
Event of Default, to ask, require, demand, receive, compound and give
acquittance for any and
-3-
8
all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due to the Owner Trustee
(other than Excepted Property), under or arising out of the Lease, or to
endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and
to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the
Indenture Trustee may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises. The
Owner Trustee has directed the Lessee to make all payments of Rent (other than
Excepted Property) payable to the Owner Trustee by the Lessee and all other
amounts which are required to be paid to or deposited with the Owner Trustee
pursuant to the Lease directly to the Indenture Trustee at such address as the
Indenture Trustee shall specify, for application as provided in this Indenture.
The Owner Trustee agrees that promptly on receipt thereof, it will transfer to
the Indenture Trustee any and all moneys from time to time received by it
constituting part of the Indenture Estate, for distribution by the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, except that the Owner Trustee shall accept
for distribution pursuant to the Trust Agreement any amounts distributed to it
by the Indenture Trustee as expressly provided in this Indenture and any
Excepted Property.
The Owner Trustee agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon
the written request of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee will promptly
and duly execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered any and all
such further instruments and documents as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably
deem to be necessary in order to obtain the full benefits of this assignment
and of the rights and powers herein granted.
The Owner Trustee does hereby warrant and represent that it has not
assigned or pledged, and hereby covenants that it will not assign or pledge, so
long as the assignment hereunder shall remain in effect, any of its right,
title or interest hereby assigned, to anyone other than the Indenture Trustee,
and that it will not (other than in respect of Excepted Property), except as
provided in or permitted by this Indenture, accept any payment from the Lessee,
enter into an agreement amending or supplementing any of the Operative
Agreements, execute any waiver or modification of, or consent under the terms
of any of the Operative Agreements (other than the Tax Indemnity Agreement),
settle or compromise any claim (other than claims in respect of Excepted
Property) against the Lessee arising under any of the Operative Agreements, or
submit or consent to the submission of any dispute, difference or other matter
arising under or in respect of any of the Operative Agreements, to arbitration
thereunder.

-9-
14
administration office of the Indenture Trustee, together with a written request
from such holder for the issuance of a new Equipment Note or Equipment Notes,
specifying the denomination or denominations (each of which shall be not less
than $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof or such smaller denomination as may

authenticate, a new Equipment Note or Equipment Notes of the same series, in
the same aggregate principal amount and dated the same date or dates as, with
the same payment schedule, in the form set forth in Section 2.01 in the same

All Equipment Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Equipment Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Owner Trustee evidencing
the same respective obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits
under this Indenture, as the Equipment Notes surrendered upon such registration
of transfer or exchange. The Indenture Trustee shall make a notation on each
new Equipment Note or Equipment Notes of the amount of all payments or
prepayments of principal and interest previously made on the old Equipment Note

the Owner Trustee and the Lessee with such information as it may request as to
the registered holders of Equipment Notes. The Owner Trustee shall not be
required to exchange any surrendered Equipment Notes as above provided during
the 10-day period preceding the due date of any payment on such Equipment
Notes.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of an
Equipment Note, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may deem and treat
the registered holder of such Equipment Note as the absolute owner and holder
of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts
payable with respect to such Equipment Note and for all other purposes and
shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Lessee of each request for a registration of transfer of an Equipment Note.
The Indenture Trustee will promptly cancel and destroy all Equipment Notes
surrendered for transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section.

Note, issue, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
replacement thereof, a new Equipment Note of the same series in the form set
forth in Section 2.01, payable to the same holder in the same principal amount,
of the same maturity, with the same payment schedule, bearing the same interest
rate and dated the same date as the Equipment Note so mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen. The Indenture Trustee shall make a notation on each new
Equipment Note of the amount of all payments or prepayments of principal and
interest theretofore made on the Equipment Note so mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen and the date to which interest on such old Equipment Note has been
paid. If the Equipment Note being replaced has become mutilated, such
Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Indenture Trustee and forwarded to
the Owner Trustee by the Indenture Trustee. If the Equipment Note being
replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the holder of such Equipment Note
shall furnish to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee harmless and evidence satisfactory
-10-

fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Equipment Cost of such Unit or
Units and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate Equipment Cost of all
Units included in the Indenture Estate under the related Indenture Supplement
immediately prior to such date, and (ii) as to interest, the aggregate amount
of interest accrued and unpaid in respect of the principal amount to be prepaid

Amount, if any, applicable in respect of the principal amount to be prepaid
pursuant to clause (i) above on the date of such payment.
(d) Each Equipment Note shall be prepaid in whole or in part by
the Owner Trustee on the Early Purchase Date in the event that Lessee exercises

amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of such Equipment Note as at the Early Purchase Date (after
deducting therefrom the principal installment, if any, due on the prepayment

Opinions of Counsel for Lessee, dated the date of such purchase which without
unusual qualification shall be to the effect that, after giving effect to the
indenture supplement referred to below:
(i) this Indenture constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of Lessee, enforceable against Lessee in accordance
with its terms, except as the same may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles
of equity, and except as limited by applicable laws which may affect
the remedies provided for in this Indenture, which laws, however, do
not in the opinion of such counsel make the remedies provided for in
this Agreement inadequate for the practical realization of the rights
and benefits provided for in this Indenture; and
(ii) the Lien on the Equipment constitutes a
fully-perfected Lien and all filing, recording or other action
(specifying the same) necessary to perfect and protect the Lien of
this Agreement has been accomplished.
(e) upon delivery of an indenture supplement giving effect to such
assumption reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, dated the date of
such purchase;
then, automatically and without the requirement of further action by any
person, effective as of the date of such purchase, the Owner Trustee shall be
released from all of its obligations under the Equipment Notes and under this
Indenture in respect of the Equipment Notes or otherwise (other than any
obligations or liabilities of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity
incurred on or prior to the date of such purchase or arising out of or based
upon events occurring on or prior to the date of such purchase, which
obligations and liabilities shall remain the sole responsibility of the Owner
Trustee) and the Lien of this Indenture upon the sale proceeds paid or payable
to the Owner Trustee shall be discharged. If requested by the Owner Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee, confirming such release and
discharge.
ARTICLE V.
REMEDIES OF THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE UPON AN INDENTURE
EVENT OF DEFAULT
Section 5.01. Indenture Events of Default. The following events
shall constitute "Indenture Events of Default" and each such Indenture Event of
Default shall be deemed to exist and continue so long as, but only so long as,
it shall not have been remedied:
(a) subject to Section 5.04(a), a Lease Event of Default (other
than a Lease Event of Default by reason of a default by the Lessee to pay any
amounts which are part of the Excepted Property); or
(b) default by the Owner Trustee in making any payment when due of
principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on, any series of the
Equipment Notes or any Equipment Note or

21
Equipment Notes, and the continuance of such default unremedied for 10 Business
Days after the same shall have become due and payable; or
(c) any failure by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant to
observe or perform in any material respect any covenant or obligation of them
or any of them, in this Indenture or the Equipment Notes or any series thereof
(other than as set forth in clause (b) above) or in the Participation
Agreement, if such failure is not remedied within a period of 30 days after
there has been given to the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Lessee
by the Indenture Trustee or by any holder of an Equipment Note a written notice
specifying such failure and requiring it to be remedied; or
(d) any representation or warranty made by the Owner Trustee
(except to the extent made with respect to _________________, in its individual
capacity) or the Owner Participant under the Participation Agreement, or by the
Owner Trustee hereunder, or by any representative of the Owner Trustee or the
Owner Participant in any document or certificate furnished to the Indenture
Trustee or the Loan Participant in connection herewith or therewith or pursuant
hereto or thereto, shall prove at any time to have been incorrect in any
material respect as of the date made and such incorrectness shall remain
material and continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after there has been
given to the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant a written notice
specifying such incorrectness, stating that such incorrectness is a default
hereunder and requiring it to be remedied by the Indenture Trustee or by any
holder of an Equipment Note; or
(e) the Owner Trustee (as Owner Trustee and not in its individual
capacity) or the Owner Participant shall consent to the appointment of a
custodian, receiver, trustee or liquidator of itself or of a substantial part
of its property or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors; or
(f) the Owner Trustee (as Owner Trustee and not in its individual
capacity) or the Owner Participant shall file, or consent by answer or
otherwise to the filing against it of, a petition for relief or reorganization
or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy, for liquidation or to take
advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction; or
(g) an order, judgment or decree shall be entered by any court of
competent jurisdiction appointing, without the consent of the Owner Trustee (as
Owner Trustee and not in its individual capacity) or the Owner Participant, a
receiver, trustee or liquidator of the Indenture Estate, the Owner Trustee (as
Owner Trustee and not in its individual capacity) or the Owner Participant, or
of any substantial part of its property, or granting any order for relief in
respect of the Owner Trustee (as Owner Trustee and not in its individual
capacity) or the Owner Participant under the Federal bankruptcy laws, and any
such order, judgment or decree of appointment shall remain in force
undismissed, unstayed or unvacated for a period of 60 days after the date of
entry thereof; or
(h) a petition against the Owner Trustee (as Owner Trustee and not
in its individual capacity) or the Owner Participant, in a proceeding under the
Federal bankruptcy laws or other insolvency law, as now or hereafter in effect,
shall be filed and shall not be withdrawn or dismissed within 60 days
thereafter, or if, under the provisions of any law providing for reorganization
or winding-up of corporations which may apply to the Owner Trustee (as Owner
Trustee and not in its individual capacity) or the Owner Participant, any court
of competent jurisdiction shall assume jurisdiction, custody or control of the
Indenture Estate, the Owner Trustee (as Owner Trustee and not in its individual
capacity) or the
-17-
22
Owner Participant or of any substantial part of its property and such
jurisdiction, custody or control shall remain in force unrelinquished, unstayed
or unterminated for a period of 60 days.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if an Indenture Event of
Default described in clause (e), (f), (g) or (h) of this Section 5.01 results
solely from the bankruptcy, reorganization, compromise, arrangement,
insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation of Owner Trustee
solely in its individual capacity, and can be cured by the appointment of a
substitute Owner Trustee without adversely affecting the rights of the
Indenture Trustee hereunder, then Indenture Trustee shall refrain from the
exercise of any of the rights, powers or remedies pursuant to this Article V
for a period of 45 days, provided Owner Participant is diligently seeking to,
and does, replace the bank or trust company then serving as Owner Trustee which
replacement shall be deemed to cure such Indenture Event of Default.
Section 5.02. Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment. If an
Indenture Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may,
and upon the directions of a Majority in Interest shall, subject to Section
5.04, declare the unpaid principal amount of all Equipment Notes then
outstanding and accrued interest thereon to be due and payable. At any time
after the Indenture Trustee has declared the unpaid principal amount of all
Equipment Notes then outstanding to be due and payable and prior to the sale of
any of the Indenture Estate pursuant to this Article V, a Majority in Interest,
by written notice to the Owner Trustee, the Lessee and the Indenture Trustee,
may rescind and annul such declaration and thereby annul its consequences if:
(i) there has been paid to or deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount
sufficient to pay all overdue installments of interest on all of the Equipment
Notes, and the principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Equipment
Notes that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration,
(ii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, and (iii)
all other Indenture Defaults and Indenture Events of Default, other than
nonpayment of principal or interest on any of the Equipment Notes that have
become due solely because of such acceleration, have been cured or waived.
Section 5.03. Remedies with Respect to Indenture Estate. (a)
After an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and so long as such
Indenture Event of Default shall be continuing, then and in every such case the
Indenture Trustee, as assignee hereunder of the Lease or as mortgagee hereunder
of the Equipment or otherwise, may, and when required pursuant to the
provisions of Article VI hereof shall, subject to Sections 5.04 and 5.05,
exercise any or all of the rights and powers and pursue any and all of the
remedies pursuant to Section 15 of the Lease and this Article V and may recover
judgment in its own name as Indenture Trustee against the Indenture Estate and
may take possession of all or any part of the Indenture Estate, and may exclude
the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant and all persons claiming under any
of them wholly or partly therefrom; provided, however, that nothing in this
Indenture shall permit or require the Indenture Trustee to take any action
contrary to, or to disturb, the Lessee's rights under the Lease, except in
accordance with the provisions of the Lease. The Indenture Trustee, after the
occurrence of any Indenture Event of Default, shall give the Owner Participant
and the Owner Trustee 10 Business Days' (or such shorter period as practical)
prior notice of the date before which the Indenture Trustee shall not exercise
any remedy which would result in the exclusion of the Owner Trustee from the
Indenture Estate or any part thereof; provided, however, such notice period
shall not be in addition to any other notice period provided herein and;
provided, further, that the failure to give such notice shall have no effect on
any action taken by the Indenture Trustee.
(b) Subject to Section 5.04 and Section 5.05, the Indenture
Trustee may, if at the time such action may be lawful and always subject to
compliance with any mandatory legal requirements, either
-18-
23
with or without taking possession, and either before or after taking
possession, and without instituting any legal proceedings whatsoever, and
having first given notice of such sale by registered mail to the Owner Trustee,
the Owner Participant and the Lessee once at least 20 days prior to the date of
such sale or the date on which the Indenture Trustee enters into a binding
contract for a private sale, and any other notice which may be required by law,
sell and dispose of the Indenture Estate, or any part thereof, or interest
therein, at public auction to the highest bidder or at private sale in one lot
as an entirety or in separate lots, and either for cash or on credit and on
such terms as the Indenture Trustee may determine, and at any place (whether or
not it be the location of the Indenture Estate or any part thereof) and time
designated in the notice above referred to; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee
shall not sell any of the Indenture Estate or exercise any other remedies which
would result in the exclusion of the Owner Trustee from the Indenture Estate or
any part thereof unless a declaration of acceleration has been made pursuant to
Section 5.02; provided, further, that, in the event the circumstances
contemplated by Section 5.04(c) exist, the Indenture Trustee shall not be
allowed to deliver the notice required by this Section 5.03(b) until the
earlier of (x) such time as such circumstances no longer exist or (y) the
expiration of the 90 day period set forth in Section 5.04(c). Any such public
sale or sales may be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time
and place appointed for such sale or sales, or for any such adjourned sale or
sales, without further notice, and the Indenture Trustee or the holder or
holders of any Equipment Notes, or any interest therein, may bid and become the
purchaser at any such public sale. The Indenture Trustee may exercise such
right without possession or production of the Equipment Notes or proof of
ownership thereof, and as representative of the holders of each series may
exercise such right without including the holders as parties to any suit or
proceeding relating to foreclosure of any property in the Indenture Estate.
The Owner Trustee hereby irrevocably constitutes the Indenture Trustee the true
and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Owner Trustee (in the name of the Owner
Trustee or otherwise) for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment,
transfer or delivery for enforcement of the Lien of this Indenture, whether
pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale or otherwise, to execute and deliver
all such bills of sale, assignments and other instruments as the Indenture
Trustee may consider necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution,
the Owner Trustee hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any
substitute shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, if so requested
by the Indenture Trustee or any purchaser, the Owner Trustee shall ratify and
confirm any such sale, assignment, transfer or delivery, by executing and
delivering to the Indenture Trustee or such purchaser all bills of sale,
assignments, releases and other proper instruments to effect such ratification
and confirmation as may be designated in any such request.
(c) Subject to Section 5.04 and Section 5.05, the Owner Trustee
agrees, to the fullest extent that it lawfully may, that, in case one or more
of the Indenture Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then,
in every such case, the Indenture Trustee may take possession of all or any
part of the Indenture Estate and may exclude the Owner Trustee and the Owner
Participant and all persons claiming under any of them wholly or partly
therefrom. At the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee shall
promptly execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee such instruments of title
and other documents as the Indenture Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to
enable the Indenture Trustee or an agent or representative designated by the
Indenture Trustee, at such time or times and place or places as the Indenture
Trustee may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Indenture
Estate. If the Owner Trustee shall fail for any reason to execute and deliver
such instruments and documents to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
may pursue all or part of the Indenture Estate wherever it may be found and may
enter any of the premises of the Lessee wherever the Indenture Estate may be or
be supposed to be and search for the Indenture Estate and, subject to Section
5.05, take possession of and remove the Indenture Estate. Upon every such
taking of possession, the Indenture
-19-
24
Trustee may, from time to time, at the expense of the Indenture Estate, make
all such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements,
alterations, additions and improvements to any of the Indenture Estate, as it
may deem proper. In each such case, the Indenture Trustee shall have the right
to use, operate, store, control or manage the Indenture Estate, and to carry on
the business and to exercise all rights and powers of the Owner Trustee
relating to the Indenture Estate, as the Indenture Trustee shall deem best,
including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to
the maintenance, operation, leasing or storage of the Indenture Estate or any
part thereof as the Indenture Trustee may determine; and the Indenture Trustee
shall be entitled to collect and receive all tolls, rents, revenues, issues,
income, products and profits of the Indenture Estate and every part thereof,
without prejudice, however, to the right of the Indenture Trustee under any
provision of this Indenture to collect and receive all cash held by, or
required to be deposited with, the Indenture Trustee hereunder. Such tolls,
rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be applied to pay
the expenses of holding and operating the Indenture Estate and of conducting
the business thereof, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements,
alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments which the
Indenture Trustee may be required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes,
assessments, insurance or other proper charges upon the Indenture Estate or any
part thereof (including the employment of engineers and accountants to examine,
inspect and make reports upon the properties and books and records of the
Indenture Estate), and all other payments which the Indenture Trustee may be
required or authorized to make under any provision of this Indenture, as well
as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Indenture Trustee,
and of all persons properly engaged and employed by the Indenture Trustee,
including the reasonable expenses of the Indenture Trustee.
(d) If an Indenture Event of Default occurs and is continuing and
the Indenture Trustee shall have obtained possession of a Unit, the Indenture
Trustee shall not be obligated to use or operate such Unit or cause such Unit
to be used or operated directly or indirectly by itself or through agents or
other representatives or to lease, license or otherwise permit or provide for
the use or operation of such Unit or Equipment by any other Person unless (i)
the Indenture Trustee shall have been able to obtain insurance in kinds, at
rates and in amounts satisfactory to it in its reasonable discretion to protect
the Indenture Estate and the Indenture Trustee, as trustee and individually,
against any and all liability for loss or damage to such Unit and for public
liability and property damage resulting from use or operation of such Unit and
(ii) funds are available in the Indenture Estate to pay for all such insurance
or, in lieu of such insurance, the Indenture Trustee is furnished with
indemnification from the holders of the Equipment Notes or any other Person
upon terms and in amounts satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee in its
reasonable discretion to protect the Indenture Estate and the Indenture
Trustee, as trustee and individually, against any and all such liabilities.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, so long as the Pass
Through Trustee under any Pass Through Trust Agreement is the registered holder
of any Equipment Note issued hereunder, the Indenture Trustee is not authorized
or empowered to acquire title to any Indenture Estate or take any action with
respect to any Indenture Estate so acquired by it if such acquisition or action
would cause the trust created by the Trust Agreement or the Pass Through Trust
Agreement to fail to qualify as a "grantor trust" for federal income tax
purposes.
Section 5.04. Right to Cure; Option to Purchase; Etc.
(a) Right to Cure. (A) If there shall occur a Lease Event of
Default in respect of the payment of Basic Rent pursuant to Section 14(a) of
the Lease, then as long as no other Indenture Event
-20-
25
of Default (other than arising from such failure to pay Basic Rent or which is
concurrently being cured pursuant to this Section 5.04(a)) shall have occurred
and be continuing the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee may (but need not)
pay to the Indenture Trustee, at any time prior to the expiration of a period
of 10 Business Days (a "10-Day Period") after receiving written notice of such
default from the Indenture Trustee (prior to the expiration of which 10-Day
Period the Indenture Trustee shall not declare the Lease in default pursuant to
Section 15 thereof or exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies pursuant
to such Section 15 or this Article V), an amount equal to the full amount of
such payment of Basic Rent, together with any interest due thereon on account
of the delayed payment thereof, and such payment by the Owner Participant or
the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to cure any Indenture Event of Default which
arose from such failure of the Lessee (but such cure shall not relieve the
Lessee of any of its obligations and shall not cure any other Indenture Event
of Default) or (B) if there shall occur a Lease Event of Default in respect of
any other payment of Rent (other than Basic Rent) or a Lease Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, which Lease Event of Default is curable
by the payment of money (it being understood that actions such as the obtaining
of insurance or the procuring of maintenance services can be so effected), then
as long as no other Indenture Event of Default (other than arising from such
Lease Event of Default or which is concurrently being cured pursuant to this
Section 5.04(a)) shall have occurred and be continuing the Owner Participant or
the Owner Trustee may (but need not) pay to the Indenture Trustee, at any time
prior to the expiration of a period of 30 days (a "30-Day Period") after
receiving written notice of such Lease Event of Default from the Indenture
Trustee (prior to the expiration of which 30-Day Period the Indenture Trustee
shall not declare the Lease in default pursuant to Section 15 thereof or
exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies pursuant to such Section 15 or
this Article V), an amount equal to the full amount of such payment of Rent,
together with any interest due thereon on account of the delayed payment
thereof or otherwise make such payment as shall effect such cure, and such
payment by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to cure
any Indenture Event of Default which arose from such Lease Event of Default
(but such cure shall not relieve the Lessee of any of its obligations);
provided however, Owner Participant and Owner Trustee, collectively, shall not
be entitled to (x) cure more than three consecutive or six total defaults in
the payment of Basic Rent, or (y) cure other Lease Events of Default if the
outstanding amount which has been paid by the Owner Participant or the Owner
Trustee and not reimbursed to such parties by the Lessee pursuant to this
clause (y) exceeds in the aggregate $5,000,000, as adjusted annually for
inflation as of January 1 of each calendar year, by the percentage change in
the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, All Cities, as compared to the
prior calendar year as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
United States Department of Labor. Upon any cure by the Owner Participant or
the Owner Trustee in accordance with the first sentence of this Section
5.04(a), the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee shall, to the extent of
their respective payments, be subrogated to the rights of the Indenture
Trustee, as assignee hereunder of the Owner Trustee to receive such payment of
Rent (and any interest due thereon on account of the delayed payment thereof)
or right of reimbursement, and shall be entitled to receive such payment upon
its receipt by the Indenture Trustee as aforesaid (but in each case only if all
amounts of principal and interest at the time due and payable on the Equipment
Notes shall have been paid in full); provided that neither the Owner
Participant nor the Owner Trustee shall attempt to recover any such amount paid
by it on behalf of the Lessee pursuant to this Section 5.04(a) except by
demanding of the Lessee payment of such amount or by commencing an action
against the Lessee to require the payment of such amount.
(b) Option to Purchase Equipment Notes. In the event that (i) at
any time one or more Lease Events of Default shall have occurred and any such
Lease Event of Default shall have continued for a period of 180 days or more
during which time the Equipment Notes could, but shall not, have been
-21-
26
accelerated pursuant to Section 5.02, (ii) the Equipment Notes shall have been
accelerated pursuant to Section 5.02, (iii) the Indenture Trustee, as assignee
hereunder of the Lease, shall have exercised (or given notice of its intention
to exercise) any remedy in respect of the Units under the Lease, or (iv) the
Indenture Trustee shall commence foreclosure of the Lien of this Indenture or
otherwise exercise remedies which would result in the exclusion of the Owner
Trustee from the Indenture Estate or any part thereof (or give notice of its
intention to foreclose or exercise remedies), then and in any such case, so
long as the Lessee and its Affiliates do not individually or in the aggregate
own more than 20% of the Beneficial Interest, upon 30 days' notice from the
Owner Trustee to the Indenture Trustee designating a date of purchase (the
"Purchase Date") which shall be the second day of any month, each holder of an
Equipment Note agrees that it will, upon and subject to receipt by the
Indenture Trustee from the Owner Trustee or its nominee of an amount equal to
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Equipment Notes, together with
accrued interest thereon to the Purchase Date, plus all other sums then due and
payable to such holder of an Equipment Note hereunder, but, except in the case
of purchase of the Equipment Notes pursuant to clause (iv) above if the right
to exercise any remedies arises because of an Indenture Event of Default
arising from action attributable to the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant,
without any Make-Whole Amount, forthwith sell, assign, transfer and convey to
the Owner Trustee or its nominee on the Purchase Date all of the right, title
and interest of such holder in and to the Equipment Notes then held by such
holder, and the Owner Trustee or its nominee shall assume all of such holder's
obligations under the Participation Agreement; provided that the Owner Trustee
or its nominee must purchase all and not less than all of the Equipment Notes
then outstanding.
(c) Restrictions on Certain Actions. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee shall not
foreclose the Lien of this Indenture or otherwise exercise remedies hereunder
which would result in the exclusion of the Owner Trustee from the Indenture
Estate or any part thereof as a result of an Indenture Event of Default that
constitutes or occurs solely by virtue of one or more Lease Events of Default
(at a time when no other Indenture Event of Default unrelated to any Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) (it being acknowledged
that an Indenture Event of Default arising under Section 2.10(f) shall be
deemed to occur solely as a result of an Event of Default under Section 14(k)
of the Lease) unless the Indenture Trustee as security assignee of the Owner
Trustee has proceeded or is then currently proceeding, to the extent it is then
entitled to do so hereunder and under the Lease and is not then stayed or
otherwise prevented from doing so by operation of law, to exercise one (or
more, as it shall in its good faith discretion determine) of the comparable
remedies provided for in Section 15 of the Lease with respect to the Equipment,
provided that in the event the Indenture Trustee shall be so stayed or
otherwise prevented from exercising such remedies under the Lease, it shall in
any event refrain from so foreclosing or exercising such other remedies
hereunder for a period of not less than 90 days, and further provided that in
the event the Lessee as debtor in a proceeding under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code (or any trustee appointed for the Lessee as debtor in any such
bankruptcy case) shall have affirmed the Lease and no Lease Event of Default
other than as specified in Section 14(g) or Section 14(h) of the Lease has
occurred and is continuing, with the approval of the bankruptcy court having
jurisdiction over such case, under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any
amended or successor version thereof, the Indenture Trustee shall refrain from
so foreclosing or exercising such other remedies hereunder.
Section 5.05. Rights of Lessee. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 5.03, so long as no
Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, neither the
Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee shall take any action contrary to, or
disturb, the Lessee's rights under the Lease, except in accordance with the
provisions of the Lease,
-22-
27
including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive all monies due and
payable to it in accordance with the provisions of the Lease and (ii) the
Lessee's rights to possession and use of, and of quiet enjoyment of, the
Equipment.
Section 5.06. Waiver of Existing Defaults. A Majority in Interest
by notice to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of all holders of the Equipment
Notes may waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a
default: (i) in the payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or
interest on any Equipment Note, or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision
hereof which under Article X hereof cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the holder of each Equipment Note affected. Upon any such waiver,
such default shall cease to exist, and any Indenture Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or impair any right consequent thereon.
ARTICLE VI.
DUTIES OF THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
Section 6.01. Action upon Indenture Event of Default. If any
payments of Interim Interest or Basic Rent or payments of the principal or
interest or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on the Equipment Notes due and payable
on any Rent Payment Date shall not have been paid in full on such Rent Payment
Date, the Indenture Trustee shall give telephonic notice within one Business
Day (followed by prompt written notice) to the Owner Trustee, the Owner
Participant, the Loan Participant and the Lessee specifying the amount and
nature of such deficiency in payment. In the event the Indenture Trustee shall
have knowledge of an Indenture Event of Default or an Indenture Default, the
Indenture Trustee shall give prompt notice of such Indenture Event of Default
or Indenture Default to the Lessee, the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant
and the Loan Participant by telegram, telex, or telephone (to be promptly
confirmed in writing). In the event the Owner Trustee shall have knowledge of
an Indenture Event of Default or an Indenture Default, the Owner Trustee shall
give notice of such Indenture Event of Default or Indenture Default in the same
manner to the Lessee, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Loan
Participant. Subject to the terms of Section 6.03, the Indenture Trustee shall
take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Indenture Event of Default or Indenture Default as the Indenture Trustee shall
be instructed in writing by a Majority in Interest. If the Indenture Trustee
shall not have received instructions as above provided within 20 days after the
mailing of notice of such Indenture Event of Default or such Indenture Default
to the Loan Participant by the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may,
but shall not be obligated to, take such action, or refrain from taking such
action, with respect to such Indenture Event of Default or Indenture Default as
it shall determine to be advisable in the best interests of the Loan
Participant. Any provision of this Section 6.01 to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Indenture Trustee shall not declare the Lease to be in
default solely in respect of the Lessee's failure to make any payment of Basic
Rent within 5 Business Days after the same shall have become due, unless the
10-Day Period within which, pursuant to Section 5.04(a), the Owner Participant
or the Owner Trustee are entitled to cure such failure shall have expired. For
all purposes of this Indenture, in the absence of actual knowledge, neither the
Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have knowledge of an
Indenture Event of Default (except, in the case of the Indenture Trustee, the
failure of the Lessee to pay any installment of Basic Rent that is required to
be paid directly to the Indenture Trustee within the 5 Business Days after the
same shall become due or the failure of the Lessee to maintain insurance as
required under Section 12 of the Lease if the Indenture Trustee shall receive
notice thereof from an insurer or insurance broker) unless notified in writing
by the Lessee, the
-23-
28
Owner Trustee, one or more Loan Participants or the Owner Participant; and
"actual knowledge" (as used in the foregoing clause) of the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee shall mean actual knowledge of an officer in the
Corporate Trust Administration of the Owner Trustee or the Corporate Trust
Department of the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be.
Section 6.02. Action upon Instructions. Subject to the terms of
Sections 6.01 and 6.03, upon the written instructions at any time and from time
to time of a Majority in Interest, the Indenture Trustee shall take such of the
following actions as may be specified in such instructions (subject to the
rights of the other parties thereto, except to the extent assigned hereunder):
(i) subject to and solely to the extent permitted by the terms hereof and of
the Lease, give such notice, direction or consent, or exercise such right,

take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge any liens or
encumbrances on any part of the Indenture Estate, or on any properties of the

any of the provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, so long as Lessee is
in compliance with its obligations under the Lease (including applicable grace
periods) and no Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
unremedied, the Indenture Trustee will comply with Section 8 of the
Participation Agreement to the same extent as if it were the Lessor under the
