---------------
required to take any action under Section 5.01 (other than the giving of the

Participant under Section 7.01 hereof, unless the Owner Participant agrees to
furnish such additional indemnity as shall reasonably be required, in manner and
form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and, in addition to the extent not

Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly required by
the terms of any of the Operative Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a
party, or as expressly provided by the terms hereof or in a written instruction
from the Owner Participant received pursuant to the terms of Section 5.01 or
5.02, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Trust
Agreement against the Owner Trustee. FSB agrees that it will, in its individual
capacity and at its own cost or expense (but without any right of indemnity in
respect of any such cost or expense under Section 7.01 hereof), promptly take

Liens attributable to it in its individual capacity which it is required to
discharge pursuant to the Lease and otherwise comply with the terms of said
Section binding upon it.

of Section 3.01 hereof (subject to the satisfaction of special counsel for the

perform any covenant) in Section 6.03 hereof or in Section 4 of the Lease or
elsewhere in any of the Operative Agreements.
SECTION 6.02. Absence of Certain Duties. Except in accordance with
-------------------------
written instructions furnished pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof and except as

the Federal Aviation Administration or other governmental agencies, except that
FSB in its individual capacity agrees to comply with the Federal Aviation
Administration reporting requirements set forth in 14 CFR (S) 47.45 and 14 CFR
(S) 47.51, and the Owner Trustee shall, to the extent that information for that
purpose is timely supplied by Lessee pursuant to any of the Operative Documents,

or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied
against any part of the Trust Estate, or (iv) to inspect Lessee's books and
records with respect to the Aircraft and Airframe N608FF at any time permitted
pursuant to the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee will
furnish to the Owner Participant, promptly upon receipt thereof, duplicates or
copies of all reports, notices, requests, demands, certificates, financial
statements and other instruments furnished to the Owner Trustee under the Lease
or any other Operative Document except to the extent to which a responsible
officer of the Owner Trustee reasonably believes (and confirms by telephone call
with the Owner Participant) that duplicates or copies thereof have already been
furnished to the Owner Participant by some other person.
SECTION 6.03. No Representations or Warranties as to Certain Matters.
------------------------------------------------------
NEITHER THE OWNER TRUSTEE NOR FSB MAKES OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE (a) ANY
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE TITLE, AIRWORTHINESS,
VALUE, CONDITION, DESIGN, OPERATION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR USE FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF EITHER AIRCRAFT OR AIRFRAME N608FF OR ANY PART THEREOF, AS
TO THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE, OR ANY
OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO EITHER
AIRCRAFT OR AIRFRAME N608FF OR ANY PART THEREOF WHATSOEVER, except that FSB in
its individual capacity warrants that on the Delivery Date the Owner Trustee
shall have received whatever title was conveyed to it by Tower and that the
Aircraft and Airframe N608FF shall during the Term be free of Lessor Liens
attributable to FSB in its individual capacity, or (b) any representation or
warranty as to the validity, legality or enforceability of this Trust Agreement
or any Operative Document to which the Owner Trustee is a party, or any other
document or instrument, or as to the correctness of any statement contained in
any thereof except to the extent that any such statement is expressly made
herein or therein by such party as a representation by the Owner Trustee or by
FSB in its individual capacity, as the case may be, and except that FSB in its
individual capacity hereby represents and warrants that this Trust Agreement has
been, and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Original
Owner Participant of this Trust Agreement) the Operative Documents to which it
or the Owner Trustee is a party have been (or at the time of execution and
delivery of any such instrument by it or the Owner Trustee hereunder that such
an instrument will be) duly executed and delivered by one of its officers who is
or will be, as the case may be, duly authorized to execute and deliver such
instruments on behalf of itself or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, and
that the Trust Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
FSB or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be,
8
[Trust Agreement]
enforceable against FSB or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, in accordance
with its terms.
SECTION 6.04. No Segregation of Monies; Interest. Monies received by
----------------------------------
the Owner Trustee hereunder need not be segregated in any manner except to the
extent provided by law, and shall be invested as provided in Section 4.02
hereof.
SECTION 6.05. Reliance Upon Certificates, Counsel and Agents. The
----------------------------------------------
Owner Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone in acting in good faith in
reliance upon and in accordance with any signature, instrument, notice,
resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other
document or paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and reasonably
believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. Unless other
evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein, any request,
direction, order or demand of the Owner Participant or Lessee mentioned herein
or in any of the Operative Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a party shall
be sufficiently evidenced by written instruments signed by a person purporting
to be the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President or any other
officer and in the name of the Owner Participant or Lessee, as the case may be.
The Owner Trustee may accept a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors or
Executive Committee of Lessee, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary of Lessee as duly adopted and in full force and effect, as conclusive
evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by said Board or Committee
and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the
manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Owner
Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate signed by a person
purporting to be the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President or
any other officer of Lessee, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate
shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon and in accordance
therewith. In the administration of trusts hereunder, the Owner Trustee may
execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform its powers and duties
hereunder directly or through agents or attorneys and may, at the expense of the
Trust Estate, consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be
selected and employed by it. The Owner Trustee shall not be liable for anything
done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or
opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons and the Owner
Trustee shall not be liable for the negligence of any such counsel, accountant
or other skilled person appointed by it with due care hereunder.
SECTION 6.06. Not Acting in Individual Capacity. In acting
---------------------------------
hereunder, the Owner Trustee acts solely as trustee and not in its individual
capacity except as otherwise expressly provided herein; and, except as may be
otherwise expressly provided in this Trust Agreement or in the Lease, all
persons having any claim against the Owner Trustee by
9
[Trust Agreement]
reason of the transactions contemplated hereby shall look only to the Trust
Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof except to the extent the Owner
Trustee shall expressly agree otherwise in writing.
SECTION 6.07. Fees; Compensation. The Owner Trustee shall be
------------------
entitled to receive compensation, reasonable as regards its responsibilities
hereunder, together with reimbursement within thirty (30) days of its request
for all reasonable expenses incurred or made by it in accordance with any of the
provisions of this Trust Agreement or any other Operative Document (including
the reasonable compensation and the expenses of its counsel, accountants or
other skilled persons and of all other persons not regularly in its employ). If
an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing or if the Lease is declared to
be in default, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive compensation,
reasonable as regards its additional responsibilities hereunder, and payment or
reimbursement for its expenses as provided above. The Owner Participant shall
be required to pay the fees of the Owner Trustee comprising the compensation and
reimbursement of expenses to which the Owner Trustee is entitled under this
Section 6.07, provided that the Owner Trustee shall have a Lien upon the Trust
Estate for any such fee not paid by the Owner Participant as contemplated by
this Section 6.07 and such Lien shall entitle the Owner Trustee to priority as
to payment thereof over payment to any other Person under this Trust Agreement.
SECTION 6.08. Tax Returns. The Owner Trustee shall be responsible
-----------
for the keeping of all appropriate books and records relating to the receipt and
disbursement of all monies under this Trust Agreement or any agreement
contemplated hereby. The Owner Participant shall be responsible for causing to
be prepared and filed all income tax returns required to be filed by the Owner
Participant. The Owner Trustee shall be responsible for causing to be prepared,
at the request and expense of the Owner Participant, all income tax returns
required to be filed with respect to the trust created hereby and shall execute
and file such returns. Owner Participant, upon request, will furnish the Owner
Trustee with all such information as may be reasonably required from the Owner
Participant in connection with the preparation of such income tax returns.

willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Owner Trustee or FSB
in its individual capacity in the performance or nonperformance of its duties
hereunder or under any of the other Operative Documents to which the Owner
Trustee is a party or (b) those resulting from the inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty of FSB in its individual capacity (or from the
failure of FSB in its individual capacity to perform any of its covenants) in

Documents or (c) as may result from a breach by FSB in its individual capacity
of its covenant in the last sentence of Section 5.04 hereof or (d) in the case
of the failure to use ordinary care on the part of the Owner Trustee or FSB in

---------------------
Participant, no assignment, conveyance or other transfer by an Owner Participant
of any of its right, title or interest in and to this Trust Agreement or the

Owner Participants) is given to such assignment, conveyance or other transfer.

(a) Resignation or Removal. The Owner Trustee or any successor Owner
----------------------
Trustee may resign at any time without cause by giving at least 60 days' prior
written notice to the Owner Participant, such resignation to be effective upon
the acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee under Section

Owner Trustee with cause by a notice in writing delivered to the Owner Trustee
and Lessee, such removal to be effective upon the acceptance of appointment by
the successor Owner Trustee under Section 9.01(b) hereof. In the case of the
resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant may appoint a
successor Owner Trustee by an instrument signed by the Owner Participant. If a

notice of resignation or removal, the Owner Trustee may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Owner Trustee to act until such
time, if any, as a successor shall have been appointed as above provided. Any
successor Owner Trustee so appointed by

such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any
successor Owner Trustee appointed as above provided.
(b) Execution and Delivery of Documents, etc. Any successor Owner
----------------------------------------
Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the predecessor Owner
Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon such successor
Owner Trustee, without further act, shall become vested with all the estates,
properties, rights, powers, duties and trusts of the predecessor Owner Trustee
in the trusts hereunder with like effect as if originally named the Owner
Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of such successor
Owner Trustee, such predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor Owner Trustee, upon the trusts herein
expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such
predecessor Owner Trustee, and such predecessor Owner Trustee shall duly assign,
transfer, deliver and pay over to such successor Owner Trustee all monies or
other property then held by such predecessor Owner Trustee upon the trusts
herein expressed. Upon the appointment of any successor Owner Trustee
hereunder, the predecessor Owner Trustee will execute such documents as are
provided to it by such successor Owner Trustee and will take such further
actions as are requested of it by such successor Owner Trustee as are reasonably
required to cause registration of the Aircraft included in the Trust Estate to
be transferred upon the records of the Federal Aviation Administration, or other
governmental authority having jurisdiction, into the name of the successor Owner
Trustee.
(c) Qualifications. Any successor Owner Trustee, however appointed,
--------------
shall be a "citizen of the United States" within the meaning of 49 U.S.C. (S)

of the United States or any state thereof having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000, if there be such an institution willing, able and
legally qualified to perform the duties of the Owner Trustee hereunder upon
reasonable or customary terms. No such successor trustee shall charge fees for
its services as an Owner Trustee in excess of the then prevailing market rates
for such services.

-----------
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which FSB shall be a party, or
any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust business of FSB
may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of Section 9.01(c) hereof, be
the Owner Trustee hereunder without further act.
SECTION 9.02. Co-Trustees and Separate Trustees. If at any time it
---------------------------------
shall be necessary or prudent in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction
in which all or any part of the Trust Estate is located, or the Owner Trustee
being advised by counsel shall
13
[Trust Agreement]
determine that it is so necessary or prudent in the interest of the Owner
Participant or the Owner Trustee, or the Owner Trustee shall have been directed
to do so by the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant
shall execute and deliver an agreement supplemental hereto and all other
instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or
trust company or one or more persons (any and all of which shall be a "citizen
of the United States" as defined in 49 U.S.C. (S) 40102(a)(15)) approved by the
Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant, either to act as co-trustee, jointly
with the Owner Trustee, or to act as separate trustee hereunder (any such co-
trustee or separate trustee being herein sometimes referred to as an "additional
trustee"). In the event the Owner Participant shall not have joined in the
execution of such agreements supplemental hereto within ten days after the
receipt of a written request from the Owner Trustee so to do, or in case an
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Owner Trustee may act under
the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02 without the concurrence of the
Owner Participant; and the Owner Participant hereby appoints the Owner Trustee
its agent and attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing provisions of
this Section 9.02 in either of such contingencies.
Every additional trustee hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be appointed and act, and the Owner Trustee and its successors shall act,
subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(A) All powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the
Owner Trustee in respect of the custody, control and management of monies,
the Aircraft, Airframe N608FF or documents authorized to be delivered
hereunder shall be exercised solely by the Owner Trustee;
(B) All other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such additional trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in
which any particular act or acts are to be performed (including the holding
of title to the Trust Estate) the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights,
powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such
additional trustee;
(C) No power given to, or which it is provided hereby may be
exercised by, any such additional trustee shall be exercised hereunder by
such additional trustee, except jointly with, or with the consent in
writing of, the Owner Trustee;
14
[Trust Agreement]
(D) No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any
action or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(E) The Owner Participant, at any time, by an instrument in writing
may remove any such additional trustee. In the event that the Owner
Participant shall not have joined in the execution of any such instrument
within ten days after the receipt of a written request from the Owner
Trustee so to do, the Owner Trustee shall have the power to remove any such
additional trustee without the concurrence of the Owner Participant; and
the Owner Participant hereby appoints the Owner Trustee its agent and
attorney-in-fact for it in such connection in such contingency.
