NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of March 28, 2022 (this “Agreement”), is among (i) SUN COUNTRY, INC., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), (ii) WILMINGTON TRUST, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“WTNA”), not in its individual capacity except as otherwise expressly provided herein, but solely as trustee (in such capacity together with its successors in such capacity, the “Pass Through Trustee”) under each of the two separate Pass Through Trust Agreements (as defined below) and (iii) WTNA, as subordination agent and trustee (in such capacity together with its successors in such capacity, the “Subordination Agent”) under the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined below).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Annex A hereto;

WHEREAS, the Company owns, or has agreed to acquire, the thirteen Boeing 737-800 aircraft listed in Schedule I hereto (the “Aircraft”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to this Agreement the Company wishes to finance each of the Aircraft hereunder;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Basic Pass Through Trust Agreement and each of the Trust Supplements set forth in Schedule II hereto, and concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, separate grantor trusts (the “Class A Pass Through Trust” and the “Class B Pass Through Trust”, collectively, the “Pass Through Trusts” and, individually, a “Pass Through Trust”) have been created to facilitate certain of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the issuance and sale of pass through certificates pursuant thereto (collectively, the “Certificates”) to provide for a portion of the financing of the Aircraft contemplated hereby;

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into the Certificate Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Purchase Agreement”) with the investors named therein (each an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company will cause the Pass Through Trustee under the Class A Pass Through Trust (the “Class A Pass Through Trustee”) and the Pass Through Trustee under the Class B Pass Through Trust (the “Class B Pass Through Trustee) to issue and sell the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, respectively, to the Investors on and subject to the terms set out in the Purchase Agreement;

WHEREAS, upon receipt of a Closing Notice with respect to an Aircraft, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the applicable Pass Through Trustees will enter into the applicable Financing Agreements relating to such Aircraft; and

WHEREAS, in order to effect the financing of each Aircraft, the Class A Pass Through Trustee and the Class B Pass Through Trustee, each will fund its purchase of Equipment Notes with the proceeds of the sale of the Certificates by the related Pass Through Trust pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Financing of Aircraft. (a) The Company confirms that it currently owns, or has agreed to acquire, the Aircraft. The Company agrees to finance the Aircraft in the manner provided herein, all on and subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the relevant Financing Agreements.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company agrees to give the parties hereto and each of the Rating Agencies not less than one Business Day’s prior notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Closing Notice”) of the date on which the Company expects to finance an Aircraft hereunder, which shall be the Scheduled Closing Date for such Aircraft (and the Company shall endeavor to finance each Aircraft on its Scheduled Delivery Date, provided the Company may, concurrently with the delivery of any Closing Notice, deliver a notice of postponement in accordance with Section 1(e)) or a Business Day thereafter and before the Cut-off Date for such Aircraft, which notice shall:

(i) specify the expected Closing Date of such Aircraft;

(ii) instruct each Pass Through Trustee being requested to purchase Equipment Notes pursuant to such Closing Notice (the “Applicable Pass Through Trustees”) to enter into the Participation Agreement included in the Financing Agreements with respect to such Aircraft in such form and at such a time on or before the expected Closing Date specified in such Closing Notice and to perform its obligations thereunder;

(iii) [Reserved]; and

(iv) specify the aggregate principal amount of each series of Equipment Notes, if any, to be issued, and purchased by the Applicable Pass Through Trustees, in connection with the financing of such Aircraft scheduled on such expected Closing Date (which shall in all respects comply with the Required Terms).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Aircraft to be financed hereunder on the Initial Closing Date, the Closing Notice therefor may be delivered to the parties hereto on the Initial Closing Date.

(c) Upon receipt of a Closing Notice, the Applicable Pass Through Trustees shall, and shall cause the Subordination Agent to, enter into and perform their respective obligations under each Participation Agreement specified in such Closing Notice, provided that such Participation Agreement and the Indenture to be entered into pursuant to such Participation Agreement shall be in the forms thereof annexed hereto in all material respects and, if modified in any material respect, as to which Rating Agency Confirmation shall have been obtained from each Rating Agency by the Company (to be delivered by the Company to the Applicable Pass Through Trustees on or before the Closing Date on which such Participation Agreement is to be

entered into, it being understood that if a Rating Agency Confirmation shall have been received with respect to any Financing Agreements and such Financing Agreements are utilized for subsequent Aircraft without material modifications, no additional Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required); provided, however, that the relevant Financing Agreements as executed and delivered shall not vary the Required Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indenture may be modified to the extent required for the issuance of Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 4(a)(vi) of this Agreement, subject to the terms of such Section and Section 9.1(c) or 9.1(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement, whichever may be applicable. The Company shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses of the Rating Agencies in connection with obtaining any such Rating Agency Confirmation. With respect to each Aircraft, the Company shall cause WTNA (or such other person that meets the eligibility requirements to act as loan trustee under the Indenture) to execute as Loan Trustee the Financing Agreements relating to such Aircraft to which such Loan Trustee is intended to be a party, and shall concurrently therewith execute such Financing Agreements to which the Company is intended to be a party and perform its respective obligations thereunder. Upon the request of any Rating Agency, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such Rating Agency a true and complete copy of each Financing Agreement relating to the financing of each Aircraft together with a true and complete set of the closing documentation (including legal opinions) delivered to the related Loan Trustee, Subordination Agent and Pass Through Trustee under the related Participation Agreement.

(d) The Company agrees that all Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture shall initially be registered in the name of the Subordination Agent on behalf of the Applicable Pass Through Trustees (or, in the case of any Additional Series Equipment Notes, on behalf of the Additional Series Pass Through Trustee with respect to the corresponding Additional Series Pass Through Certificates).

(e) If after giving any Closing Notice, the financing of any Aircraft referred to therein (the “Delayed Aircraft”) in the manner contemplated hereby shall not be consummated for any reason the Company shall give the parties hereto prompt notice thereof. Concurrently with the giving of such notice of postponement or subsequently, the Company shall give the parties hereto a substitute Closing Notice specifying the date to which the financing of such Delayed Aircraft shall have been re-scheduled, which shall be a Business Day before the Cut-off Date for such Aircraft. Following the giving of such notice of postponement, the unapplied funds advanced by the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders under the Purchase Agreement intended to fund the purchase of the Equipment Notes relating to such Delayed Aircraft, shall, pursuant to Section 2.1(d) of the Purchase Agreement, be held in a separate account with WTNA for the benefit of such Certificateholders with respect to such Equipment Notes until the earlier of (x) the application of such funds to purchase the relevant Equipment Notes with respect to such Delayed Aircraft and (y) the date that is 30 days after the Scheduled Closing Date with respect to such Delayed Aircraft or, in the case of any Extension Aircraft, such later day prior to the 60th day after such Scheduled Closing Date to which such 30th day has most recently been postponed by written notice from the Company to the Pass Through Trustees given prior to expiration of the deadline in effect under this clause (y) when such notice is given (such 30th day or, if applicable, later day, the “Prefunding Expiry Date”); provided that if the Equipment Notes relating to such Delayed Aircraft have not been purchased prior to the applicable Prefunding Expiry Date (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be the Cut-off Date), such unapplied funds shall be paid as provided in the Purchase Agreement. If a

notice of postponement has been given with respect to an Aircraft, the financing of such Aircraft, as specified in a substitute Closing Notice, shall take place on the re-scheduled Closing Date therefor (all on and subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant Financing Agreements) unless further postponed as provided herein.

(f) The Company shall have no liability for the failure of the Pass Through Trustees to purchase Equipment Notes with respect to any Aircraft.

SECTION 2. Conditions Precedent. The obligation of the Applicable Pass Through Trustees to enter into, and to cause the Subordination Agent to enter into, any Participation Agreement as directed pursuant to a Closing Notice and to perform its obligations thereunder is subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a) no Triggering Event shall have occurred; and

(b) the Company shall have delivered a certificate to each such Pass Through Trustee stating (i) that such Participation Agreement and the other Financing Agreements to be entered into pursuant to such Participation Agreement do not vary the Required Terms and (ii) that any substantive modification of such Financing Agreements from the forms of Financing Agreements attached to this Agreement do not materially and adversely affect the Certificateholders, and such certification shall be true and correct.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of each Pass Through Trustee to purchase Equipment Notes with respect to an Aircraft shall terminate on the Cut-off Date with respect to such Aircraft.

SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties. (a) The Company represents and warrants that:

(ii) the execution and delivery by WTNA, in its capacity as Subordination Agent or Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, of this Agreement and the performance by WTNA, in its capacity as Subordination Agent or Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, of its obligations under this Agreement have been duly authorized by WTNA, in its capacity as Subordination Agent or Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, and will not violate its articles of association or by-laws or the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, contract or other agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound; and

(iii) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of WTNA, in its capacity as Subordination Agent or Pass Through Trustee, as the case may be, enforceable against it 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, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

(ii) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Subordination Agent; this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Subordination Agent enforceable against it 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, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity;

(iii) none of the execution, delivery and performance by the Subordination Agent of this Agreement contravenes any law, rule or regulation of the state of the United States in which it is located or any United States governmental authority or agency regulating the Subordination Agent’s banking, trust or fiduciary powers or any judgment or order applicable to or binding on the Subordination Agent and do not contravene the Subordination Agent’s articles of association or by-laws or result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument to which the Subordination Agent is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound;

(iv) neither the execution and delivery by the Subordination Agent of this Agreement nor the consummation by the Subordination Agent of any of the transactions contemplated hereby requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking of any other action with respect to, any governmental authority or agency of the state of the United States in which it is located or any federal governmental authority or agency regulating the Subordination Agent’s banking, trust or fiduciary powers;

(vi) there are no pending or threatened actions or proceedings against the Subordination Agent before any court or administrative agency which individually or in the aggregate, if determined adversely to it, would materially adversely affect the ability of the Subordination Agent to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 4. Covenants. (a) The Company covenants with each of the other parties hereto that:

(i) [Intentionally Omitted];

(ii) subject to Section 4(a)(iv) of this Agreement, the Company shall at all times maintain its corporate existence and shall not wind up, liquidate or dissolve or take any action, or fail to take any action, that would have the effect of any of the foregoing;

(iii) the Company shall at all times remain a U.S. Air Carrier (as defined in the Financing Agreements) and shall at all times be otherwise certificated and registered to the extent necessary to entitle the Loan Trustee to the rights afforded to secured parties of aircraft equipment under Section 1110;

(iv) Section 4.07 of each Indenture is hereby incorporated by reference herein;

(v) [Reserved.];

(vi) the Company shall not repay and re-issue any Series B Equipment Notes or issue (or repay and reissue) any Additional Series Equipment Notes pursuant to any Indenture, unless it shall have obtained written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the reissuance or issuance of such Equipment Notes, as the case may be, will not result in (1) a reduction of the rating for any Class of Certificates then rated by such Rating Agency that will remain outstanding below the then current rating for such Class of Certificates or (2) a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of any Class of Certificates then rated by such Rating Agency that will remain outstanding. Any reissuance of any Series B Equipment Notes and issuance (or repayment and reissuance) of Additional Series Equipment Notes shall be subject to the terms of Section 9.1(c) and 9.1(d), respectively, of the Intercreditor Agreement; and

(vii) promptly after the occurrence of a Triggering Event or an Indenture Default resulting from the failure of the Company to make payments on any Equipment Note and on every Regular Distribution Date while the Triggering Event or such Indenture Default shall be continuing, the Company will, at the Subordination Agent’s request from time to time but in any event no more frequently than once every three months, provide to the Subordination Agent a statement setting forth the following information with respect to each Aircraft then subject to the lien of an Indenture: (A) whether the Aircraft are currently in service or parked in storage, (B) the maintenance status of the Aircraft and (C) the location of the Engines (as defined in the respective Indentures to which such Aircraft are subject). As used in the preceding sentence, the terms “Triggering Event”, “Indenture Default”, and “Regular Distribution Date” shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement as originally executed.

(b) WTNA, in its individual capacity, covenants with each of the other parties to this Agreement that it will, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of any facts that would cast doubt upon its continuing status as a “citizen of the United States” as defined in Section 40102(a)(15) of the Act and promptly upon public disclosure of negotiations in respect of any transaction which would or might adversely affect such status, notify in writing all parties hereto of all relevant matters in connection therewith. Upon WTNA giving any such notice, WTNA shall, subject to Section 9.01 of any Indenture then entered into, resign as Loan Trustee in respect of such Indenture.

SECTION 5. Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all notices required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement shall be in English and in writing, and any such notice shall become effective upon being delivered personally or, if promptly confirmed by mail, when dispatched by facsimile or other written telecommunication, addressed to such party hereto at its address or facsimile number set forth below the signature of such party at the foot of this Agreement or to such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify by notice to the other parties.

SECTION 6. Expenses. So long as no Equipment Notes have been issued in respect of any Aircraft, the Company agrees to pay, (i) all compensation and reimbursement of expenses, disbursements and advances payable by the Company under the Pass Through Trust Agreements and (ii) all compensation and reimbursement of expenses and disbursements payable to the Subordination Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement except with respect to any income or franchise taxes incurred by the Subordination Agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 7. Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall duly execute, acknowledge and deliver, or shall cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further agreements, instruments, certificates or documents, and shall do and cause to be done such further acts and things, in any case, as any other party hereto shall reasonably request in connection with its administration of, or to carry out more effectually the purposes of, or to better assure and confirm unto it the rights and benefits to be provided under, this Agreement.

SECTION 8. Miscellaneous. (a) Provided that the transactions contemplated hereby have been consummated, in whole or in part, and except as otherwise provided for herein, the representations, warranties and agreements herein of the Company, the Subordination Agent and the Pass Through Trustee, and the Company’s, the Subordination Agent’s and the Pass Through Trustee’s obligations under any and all thereof, shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Agreement and the other agreements referred to herein.

(b) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (and each of the parties hereto shall not be required to execute the same counterpart). Each counterpart of this Agreement, including a signature page executed by each of the parties hereto, shall be an original counterpart of this Agreement, but all of such counterparts together shall constitute one instrument. Neither this Agreement nor any of the terms hereof may be terminated, amended, supplemented, waived or modified orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of the termination, amendment, supplement, waiver or modification is sought. The index preceding this Agreement and the headings of the various Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not modify, define, expand or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and permitted assigns, the Pass Through Trustee and its successors as Pass Through Trustee (and any additional trustee appointed) under any of the Pass Through Trust Agreements and the Subordination Agent and its successors as Subordination Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, provide any person not a party hereto (other than the Investors, and each of the beneficiaries of Section 6 hereof) with any rights of any nature whatsoever against any of the parties hereto, and no person not a party hereto (other than the Investors and each of the beneficiaries of Section 6 hereof) shall have any right, power or privilege in respect of, or have any benefit or interest arising out of, this Agreement. To the extent that this Agreement expressly confers upon, gives or grants any right, power, privilege, benefit, interest, remedy or claim to any of the beneficiaries of Section 6 hereof (including, but not limited to rights, powers, privileges, benefits, interests, remedies and claims under Section 6), each such party is hereby recognized as a third party beneficiary hereunder and may enforce any such right, power, privilege, benefit, interest, remedy or claim.

SECTION 9. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THIS AGREEMENT IS BEING DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day and year first above written.

In connection with any such action, suit or proceeding being controlled by Owner, such Indemnitee shall have the right to participate therein, at its sole cost and expense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Owner; provided, that such Indemnitee’s participation does not, in the reasonable opinion of the independent counsel appointed by the Owner or its insurers to conduct such proceedings, interfere with the defense of such case.

Owner will provide the relevant Indemnitee with such information not within the control of such Indemnitee, as is in Owner’s control or is reasonably available to Owner, which such Indemnitee may reasonably request and will otherwise cooperate with such Indemnitee so as to enable such Indemnitee to fulfill its obligations under Section 8.1.5. The Indemnitee shall supply Owner with such information not within the control of Owner, as is in such Indemnitee’s control or is reasonably available to such Indemnitee, which Owner may reasonably request to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by Section 8.1.5.

8.1.7 Effect of Other Indemnities; Subrogation; Further Assurances

Upon the payment in full by Owner of any indemnity provided for under this Agreement, Owner, without any further action and to the full extent permitted by Law, will be subrogated to all rights and remedies of the person indemnified (other than with respect to any of such Indemnitee’s insurance policies or in connection with any indemnity claim such Indemnitee may have under Section 6.03 or 8.01 of the Trust Indenture) in respect of the matter as to which such indemnity was paid. Each Indemnitee will give such further assurances or agreements and cooperate with Owner to permit Owner to pursue such claims, if any, to the extent reasonably requested by Owner and at Owner’s expense.

(k) in the nature of an intangible or similar Tax upon or with respect to the value or principal amount of the interest of any Note Holder in any Equipment Note or the loan evidenced thereby but only if such Taxes are in the nature of franchise Taxes or result from the Tax Indemnitee doing business in the taxing jurisdiction and are imposed because of the place of incorporation or the activities unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements in the taxing jurisdiction of such Tax Indemnitee;

(l) imposed on a Tax Indemnitee by a Taxing Authority of a jurisdiction outside the United States to the extent that such Taxes would not have been imposed but for a connection between the Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee and such jurisdiction imposing such Tax unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements; or

(m) Taxes relating to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

For purposes hereof, a Tax Indemnitee and any other Tax Indemnitees that are successors, assigns, agents, servants or Affiliates of such Tax Indemnitee shall be related Tax Indemnitees.

8.3.3 Payment

(a) Owner’s indemnity obligation to a Tax Indemnitee under this Section 8.3 shall equal the amount which, after taking into account any Tax imposed upon the receipt or accrual of the amounts payable under this Section 8.3 and any tax benefits actually recognized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of the indemnifiable Tax (including, without limitation, any benefits recognized as a result of an indemnifiable Tax being utilized by such Tax Indemnitee as a credit against Taxes not indemnifiable under this Section 8.3), shall equal the amount of the Tax indemnifiable under this Section 8.3.

(b) At Owner’s request, the computation of the amount of any indemnity payment owed by Owner or any amount owed by a Tax Indemnitee to Owner pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be verified and certified by an independent public accounting firm selected by such Tax Indemnitee and reasonably satisfactory to Owner. Such verification shall be binding. The costs of such verification (including the fee of such public accounting firm) shall be borne by Owner unless such verification shall result in an adjustment in Owner’s favor of 5% or more of the net present value of the payment as computed by such Tax Indemnitee, in which case the costs shall be paid by such Tax Indemnitee.

(c) Each Tax Indemnitee shall provide Owner with such certifications, information and documentation as shall be in such Tax Indemnitee’s possession and as shall be reasonably requested by Owner to minimize any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 8.3; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Tax Indemnitee shall be required to provide Owner with any Tax returns.

(d) Each Tax Indemnitee shall promptly forward to Owner any written notice, xxxx or advice received by it from any Taxing Authority concerning any Tax for which it seeks indemnification under this Section 8.3. Owner shall pay any amount for which it is liable pursuant to this Section 8.3 directly to the appropriate Taxing Authority if legally permissible or upon demand of a Tax Indemnitee, to such Tax Indemnitee within 30 days of such demand (or, if


PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT 22-1 (A and B)		PAGE 27

a contest occurs in accordance with Section 8.3.4, within 30 days after a Final Determination (as defined below)), but in no event more than one Business Day prior to the date the Tax to which such amount payable hereunder relates is due. If requested by a Tax Indemnitee in writing, Owner shall furnish to the appropriate Tax Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt for Owner’s payment of any Tax paid by Owner or such other evidence of payment of such Tax as is acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee. Owner shall also furnish promptly upon written request such data as any Tax Indemnitee may reasonably require to enable such Tax Indemnitee to comply with the requirements of any taxing jurisdiction unless such data is not reasonably available to Owner or, unless such data is specifically requested by a Taxing Authority, is not customarily furnished by domestic air carriers under similar circumstances. For purposes of this Section 8.3, a “Final Determination” shall mean (i) a decision, judgment, decree or other order by any court of competent jurisdiction that occurs pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.3.4, which decision, judgment, decree or other order has become final and unappealable, (ii) a closing agreement or settlement agreement entered into in accordance with Section 8.3.4 that has become binding and is not subject to further review or appeal (absent fraud, misrepresentation, etc.), or (iii) the termination of administrative proceedings and the expiration of the time for instituting a claim in a court proceeding.

(e) If any Tax Indemnitee shall actually realize a tax savings by reason of any Tax paid or indemnified by Owner pursuant to this Section 8.3 (whether such tax savings shall be by means of a foreign tax credit, depreciation or cost recovery deduction or otherwise) and such savings is not otherwise taken into account in computing such payment or indemnity such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Owner an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such tax savings, plus any additional tax savings recognized as the result of any payment made pursuant to this sentence, when, as, if, and to the extent, realized or (ii) the amount of all payments pursuant to this Section 8.3 by Owner to such Tax Indemnitee (less any payments previously made by such Tax Indemnitee to Owner pursuant to this Section 8.3.3 (e)) (and the excess, if any, of the amount described in clause (i) over the amount described in clause (ii) shall be carried forward and applied to reduce pro tanto any subsequent obligations of Owner to make payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 8.3); provided, that such Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to make any payment pursuant to this sentence so long as a Lease Event of Default of a monetary nature has occurred and is continuing. If a tax benefit is later disallowed or denied, the disallowance or denial shall be treated as a Tax indemnifiable under Section 8.3.1 without regard to the provisions of Section 8.3.2 (other than Section 8.3.2 (f)). Each such Tax Indemnitee shall in good faith use reasonable efforts in filing its tax returns and in dealing with Taxing Authorities to seek and claim any such tax benefit.

8.3.4 Contest

(a) If a written claim is made against a Tax Indemnitee for Taxes with respect to which Owner could be liable for payment or indemnity hereunder, or if a Tax Indemnitee makes a determination that a Tax is due for which Owner could have an indemnity obligation hereunder, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly give Owner notice in writing of such claim (provided, that failure to so notify Owner shall not relieve Owner of its indemnity obligations hereunder unless such failure to notify effectively forecloses Owner’s rights to require a contest of such claim) and shall take no action with respect to such claim without the prior written consent of Owner for 30 days following the receipt of such notice by Owner; provided, that, in


PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT 22-1 (A and B)		PAGE 28

the case of a claim made against a Tax Indemnitee, if such Tax Indemnitee shall be required by law to take action prior to the end of such 30-day period, such Tax Indemnitee shall, in such notice to Owner, so inform Owner, and such Tax Indemnitee shall take no action for as long as it is legally able to do so (it being understood that a Tax Indemnitee shall be entitled to pay the Tax claimed and xxx for a refund prior to the end of such 30-day period if (i)(A) the failure to so pay the Tax would result in substantial penalties (unless immediately reimbursed by Owner) and the act of paying the Tax would not materially prejudice the right to contest or (B) the failure to so pay would result in criminal penalties and (ii) such Tax Indemnitee shall take any action so required in connection with so paying the Tax in a manner that is the least prejudicial to the pursuit of the contest). In addition, such Tax Indemnitee shall (provided, that Owner shall have agreed to keep such information confidential other than to the extent necessary in order to contest the claim) furnish Owner with copies of any requests for information from any Taxing Authority relating to such Taxes with respect to which Owner may be required to indemnify hereunder. If requested by Owner in writing within 30 days after its receipt of such notice, such Tax Indemnitee shall, at the expense of Owner (including, without limitation, all reasonable costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements), in good faith contest (or, if permitted by applicable law, allow Owner to contest) through appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes by (I) resisting payment thereof, (II) not paying the same except under protest if protest is necessary and proper or (III) if the payment is made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in an appropriate administrative and/or judicial proceeding. If requested to do so by Owner, the Tax Indemnitee shall appeal any adverse administrative or judicial decision, except that the Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to pursue any appeals to the United States Supreme Court. If and to the extent the Tax Indemnitee is able to separate the contested issue or issues from other issues arising in the same administrative or judicial proceeding that are unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements without, in the good faith judgment of such Tax Indemnitee, adversely affecting such Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall permit Owner to control the conduct of any such proceeding and shall provide to Owner (at Owner’s cost and expense) with such information or data that is in such Tax Indemnitee’s control or possession that is reasonably necessary to conduct such contest. In the case of a contest controlled by a Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall consult with Owner in good faith regarding the manner of contesting such claim and shall keep Owner reasonably informed regarding the progress of such contest. A Tax Indemnitee shall not fail to take any action

expressly required by this Section 8.3.4 (including, without limitation, any action regarding any appeal of an adverse determination with respect to any claim) or settle or compromise any claim without the prior written consent of the Owner (except as contemplated by Section 8.3.4(b) or (c)).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Tax Indemnitee be required to pursue any contest (or to permit Owner to pursue any contest) unless (i) Owner shall have agreed to pay such Tax Indemnitee on demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Tax Indemnitee in connection with contesting such Taxes, including, without limitation, all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements, (ii) if such contest shall involve the payment of the claim, Owner shall advance the amount thereof (to the extent indemnified hereunder) plus interest, penalties and additions to tax with respect thereto that are required to be paid prior to the commencement of such contest on an interest-free after-Tax basis to such Tax Indemnitee (and such Tax Indemnitee shall


PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT 22-1 (A and B)		PAGE 29

promptly pay to the Owner any net realized tax benefits resulting from such advance including any tax benefits resulting from making such payment), (iii) such Tax Indemnitee shall have reasonably determined that the action to be taken will not result in any material risk of forfeiture, sale or loss of the Aircraft (unless Owner shall have made provisions to protect the interests of any such Tax Indemnitee in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee) (provided, that such Tax Indemnitee agrees to notify Owner in writing promptly after it becomes aware of any such risk), (iv) no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing unless Owner has provided security for its obligations hereunder by advancing to such Tax Indemnitee before proceeding or continuing with such contest, the amount of the Tax being contested, plus any interest and penalties and an amount estimated in good faith by such Tax Indemnitee for expenses, and (v) prior to commencing any judicial action controlled by Owner, Owner shall have acknowledged its liability for such claim hereunder, provided that Owner shall not be bound by its acknowledgment if the Final Determination articulates conclusions of law and fact that demonstrate that Owner has no liability for the contested amounts hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Tax Indemnitee shall release, waive, compromise or settle any claim which may be indemnifiable by Owner pursuant to this Section 8.3 without the written permission of Owner, Owner’s obligation to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee with respect to such claim (and all directly related claims and claims based on the outcome of such claim) shall terminate, subject to Section 8.3.4(c), and subject to Section 8.3.4(c), such Tax Indemnitee shall repay to Owner any amount previously paid or advanced to such Tax Indemnitee with respect to such claim, plus interest at the rate that would have been payable by the relevant Taxing Authority with respect to a refund of such Tax.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8.3, a Tax Indemnitee will not be required to contest the imposition of any Tax and shall be permitted to settle or compromise any claim without Owner’s consent if such Tax Indemnitee (i) shall waive its right to indemnity under this Section 8.3 with respect to such Tax (and any directly related claim and any claim the outcome of which is determined based upon the outcome of such claim), (ii) shall pay to Owner any amount previously paid or advanced by Owner pursuant to this Section 8.3 with respect to such Tax, plus interest at the rate that would have been payable by the relevant Taxing Authority with respect to a refund of such Tax, and (iii) shall agree to discuss with Owner the views or positions of any relevant Taxing Authority with respect to the imposition of such Tax.

8.3.5 Refund

If any Tax Indemnitee shall receive a refund of, or be entitled to a credit against other liability for, all or any part of any Taxes paid, reimbursed or advanced by Owner, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Owner within 30 days of such receipt an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of such refund or credit plus any net tax benefit (taking into account any Taxes incurred by such Tax Indemnitee by reason of the receipt of such refund or realization of such credit) actually realized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of any payment by such Tax Indemnitee made pursuant to this sentence (including this clause (a)) and (b) such tax payment, reimbursement or advance by Owner to such Tax Indemnitee theretofore made pursuant to this Section 8.3 (and the excess, if any, of the amount described in clause (a) over the amount described in clause (b) shall be carried forward and applied to reduce pro tanto any subsequent obligation of Owner to make payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 8.3). If, in addition to such refund or credit, such Tax Indemnitee shall receive (or be credited with) an amount representing interest on the amount of such refund or credit, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Owner within 30 days of such receipt or realization of such credit that proportion of such interest that shall be fairly attributable to Taxes paid, reimbursed or advanced by Owner prior to the receipt of such refund or realization of such credit.


PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT 22-1 (A and B)		PAGE 30

8.3.6 Tax Filing

If any report, return or statement is required to be filed with respect to any Tax which is subject to indemnification under this Section 8.3, Owner shall timely file the same (except for any such report, return or statement which a Tax Indemnitee has timely notified the Owner in writing that such Tax Indemnitee intends to file, or for which such Tax Indemnitee is required by law to file, in its own name); provided, that the relevant Tax Indemnitee shall furnish Owner with any information in such Tax Indemnitee’s possession or control that is reasonably necessary to file any such return, report or statement and is reasonably requested in writing by Owner (it being understood that the Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to furnish copies of its actual tax returns, although it may be required to furnish relevant information contained therein). Owner shall either file such report, return or statement and send a copy of such report, return or statement to such Tax Indemnitee, or, where Owner is not permitted to file such report, return or statement, it shall notify such Tax Indemnitee of such requirement and prepare and deliver such report, return or statement to such Tax Indemnitee in a manner satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee within a reasonable time prior to the time such report, return or statement is to be filed.

8.3.7 Forms

Each Tax Indemnitee agrees to furnish from time to time to Owner or Mortgagee or to such other person as Owner or Mortgagee may designate, at Owner’s or Mortgagee’s request, such duly executed and properly completed forms as may be necessary or appropriate in order to claim any reduction of or exemption from any withholding or other Tax imposed by any Taxing Authority, if (x) such reduction or exemption is available to such Tax Indemnitee and (y) Owner has provided such Tax Indemnitee with any information necessary to complete such form not otherwise reasonably available to such Tax Indemnitee.

8.3.8 Non-Parties

If a Tax Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, Owner may require the Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to Owner, to the terms of this Section 8.3 and Section 12.8 prior to making any payment to such Tax Indemnitee under this Section 8.3.

8.3.9 Subrogation

Upon payment of any Tax by Owner pursuant to this Section 8.3 to or on behalf of a Tax Indemnitee, Owner, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any claims that such Tax Indemnitee may have relating thereto. Such Tax Indemnitee shall cooperate with Owner (to the extent such cooperation does not result in any unreimbursed cost, expense or liability to such Tax Indemnitee) to permit Owner to pursue such claims.


PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT 22-1 (A and B)		PAGE 31

8.4 Payments

Any payments made pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.3 shall be due on the 60th day after demand therefor and shall be made directly to the relevant Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or to Owner, in immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as specified by such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or Owner, as the case may be, in written directives to the payor, or, if no such direction shall have been given, by check of the payor payable to the order of, and mailed to, such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or Owner, as the case may be, by certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address as set forth in this Agreement.

8.5 Interest

If any amount, payable by Owner, any Indemnitee or any Tax Indemnitee under Section 8.1 or 8.3 is not paid when due, the person obligated to make such payment shall pay on demand, to the extent permitted by Law, to the person entitled thereto, interest on any such amount for the period from and including the due date for such amount to but excluding the date the same is paid, at the Payment Due Rate. Such interest shall be paid in the same manner as the unpaid amount in respect of which such interest is due.

8.6 Benefit of Indemnities

The obligations of Owner in respect of all indemnities, obligations, adjustments and payments in Section 8.1 or 8.3 are expressly made for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee entitled thereto, notwithstanding any provision of the Trust Indenture.

If more than one series of Additional Series Equipment Notes are so issued, each such series shall have a different designation such as, for example, “Series C” and “Series D”, shall be dated the date of original issuance thereof and shall have such maturities, principal amounts and interest rates as specified in an amendment to this Trust Indenture. The Equipment Notes shall be issued in registered form only. The Equipment Notes shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, except that one Equipment Note of each Series may be in an amount that is not an integral multiple of $1,000. Without limitation of the foregoing, new Series B Equipment Notes may be issued pursuant to the provisions of Section 4(a)(vi) of the Note Purchase Agreement and Section 9.1(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Each Equipment Note shall bear interest at the applicable Debt Rate (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months) on the unpaid Original Amount thereof from time to time outstanding. Accrued interest shall be payable in arrears on [_______], 20[__]⁶, and on each [March 15 and September 15]⁷ thereafter until maturity.

As used herein, “Owner’s pro rata share” means as of any time a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal balance then outstanding of Equipment Notes and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal balance then outstanding of all “Equipment Notes” (as each such term is defined in each of the Operative Indentures).

The Equipment Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Owner by one of its authorized officers. Equipment Notes bearing the signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Owner shall bind the Owner, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Equipment Notes or did not hold such offices at the respective dates of such Equipment Notes. The Owner may from time to time execute and deliver Equipment Notes with respect to the Aircraft to the Mortgagee for authentication upon original issue and such Equipment Notes shall thereupon be authenticated and delivered by the Mortgagee upon the written request of the Owner signed by an authorized officer of the Owner. No Equipment Note shall be secured by or entitled to any benefit under this Trust Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purposes, unless there appears on such Equipment Note a certificate of authentication in the form provided for herein executed by the Mortgagee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers and such certificate upon any Equipment Notes be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Equipment Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

The aggregate Original Amount of any Series of Equipment Notes issued hereunder shall not exceed the amount set forth as the maximum therefor on Schedule I hereto (as amended, in the case of any Additional Series, at the time of original issuance of such Additional Series).

If the Mortgagee shall fail to make any such payment as provided in the immediately foregoing sentence after its receipt of funds at the place and prior to the time specified above, the Mortgagee, in its individual capacity and not as trustee, agrees to compensate such holders for loss of use of funds at Debt Rate until such payment is made and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to any interest earned on such funds until such payment is made. Any payment made hereunder shall be made without any presentment or surrender of any Equipment Note, except that, in the case of the final payment in respect of any Equipment Note, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Mortgagee for cancellation promptly after such payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Indenture to the contrary, the Mortgagee shall not be required to make, or cause to be made, wire transfers as aforesaid prior to the first Business Day on which it is practicable for the Mortgagee to do so in view of the time of day when the funds to be so transferred were received by it if such funds were received after 12:30 PM, New York time, at the place of payment. Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note, the Owner and the Mortgagee shall deem and treat the Person in whose name any Equipment Note is registered on the Equipment Note Register 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 none of the Owner or the Mortgagee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. So long as any signatory to the Participation Agreement or nominee thereof shall be a registered Note Holder, all payments to it shall be made to the account of such Note Holder specified in Schedule 1 thereto and otherwise in the manner provided in or pursuant to the Participation Agreement unless it shall have specified some other account or manner of payment by notice to the Mortgagee consistent with this Section 2.04.

(b) The Mortgagee, as agent for the Owner, shall exclude and withhold at the appropriate rate from each payment of Original Amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and other amounts due hereunder or under each Equipment Note (and such exclusion and withholding shall constitute payment in respect of such Equipment Note) any and all United States withholding taxes, including, without limitation, any such withholding taxes imposed under FATCA applicable thereto as required by Law. The Mortgagee agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future United States taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable hereunder or in respect of the Equipment Notes, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Note Holders, that it will file any necessary United States withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that as promptly as possible after the payment thereof it will deliver to each Note Holder (with a copy to the Owner) appropriate receipts showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as any such Note Holder may reasonably request from time to time.


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		13

If a Note Holder which is a Non-U.S. Person has furnished to the Mortgagee a properly completed, accurate and currently effective U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or such successor form or forms as may be required by the United States Treasury Department) during the calendar year in which the payment hereunder or under the Equipment Note(s) held by such holder is made (but prior to the making of such payment), or in either of the two preceding calendar years, and has not notified the Mortgagee of the withdrawal or inaccuracy of such form prior to the date of such payment (and the Mortgagee has no reason to believe that any information set forth in such form is inaccurate), the Mortgagee shall withhold only the amount, if any, required by Law (after taking into account any applicable exemptions properly claimed by the Note Holder) to be withheld from payments hereunder or under the Equipment Notes held by such holder in respect of United States federal income tax, including any amounts required to be withheld under FATCA. If a Note Holder (x) which is a Non-U.S. Person has furnished to the Mortgagee a properly completed, accurate and currently effective U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI in duplicate (or such successor certificate, form or forms as may be required by the United States Treasury Department as necessary in order to properly avoid withholding of United States federal income tax), for each calendar year in which a payment is made (but prior to the making of any payment for such year), and has not notified the Mortgagee of the withdrawal or inaccuracy of such certificate or form prior to the date of such payment (and the Mortgagee has no reason to believe that any information set forth in such form is inaccurate) or (y) which is a U.S. Person has furnished to the Mortgagee a properly completed, accurate and currently effective U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, if applicable, prior to a payment hereunder or under the Equipment Notes held by such holder, no amount shall be withheld from payments in respect of United States federal income tax. If any Note Holder has notified the Mortgagee that any of the foregoing forms or certificates is withdrawn or inaccurate, or if such holder has not filed a form claiming an exemption from United States withholding tax or if the Code or the regulations thereunder or the administrative interpretation thereof is at any time after the date hereof amended to require such withholding of United States federal income taxes from payments under the Equipment Notes held by such holder, the Mortgagee agrees to withhold from each payment due to the relevant Note Holder withholding taxes at the appropriate rate under Law and will, on a timely basis as more fully provided above, deposit such amounts with an authorized depository and make such returns, statements, receipts and other documentary evidence in connection therewith as required by Law.

Owner shall not have any liability for the failure of the Mortgagee to withhold taxes in the manner provided for herein or for any false, inaccurate or untrue evidence provided by any Note Holder hereunder.

SECTION 2.05. Application of Payments

In the case of each Equipment Note, each payment of Original Amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest due thereon shall be applied:

First: to the payment of Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Equipment Note and any other amount (other than as covered by any of the following clauses) due hereunder or under such Equipment Note;


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		14

Second: to the payment of accrued interest on such Equipment Note (as well as any interest on any overdue Original Amount, any overdue Make-Whole Amount, if any, and to the extent permitted by Law, any overdue interest and any other overdue amounts thereunder) to the date of such payment;

Third: to the payment of the Original Amount of such Equipment Note (or a portion thereof) then due thereunder; and

Fourth: the balance, if any, remaining thereafter, to the payment of the Original Amount of such Equipment Note remaining unpaid (provided that such Equipment Note shall not be subject to redemption except as provided in Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12 hereof).

The amounts paid pursuant to clause “Fourth” above shall be applied to the installments of Original Amount of such Equipment Note in the inverse order of their scheduled maturity.

SECTION 2.06. Termination of Interest in Collateral

No Note Holder nor any other Indenture Indemnitee shall, as such, have any further interest in, or other right with respect to, the Collateral when and if the Original Amount of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on and other amounts due under all Equipment Notes held by such Note Holder and all other sums then due and payable to such Note Holder, such Indenture Indemnitee or the Mortgagee hereunder (including, without limitation, under the third paragraph of Section 2.02 hereof) and under the other Operative Agreements by the Owner and all Related Secured Obligations (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”) shall have been paid in full.

SECTION 2.07. Registration Transfer and Exchange of Equipment Notes

The Mortgagee shall keep a register (the “Equipment Note Register”) in which the Mortgagee shall provide for the registration of Equipment Notes and the registration of transfers of Equipment Notes. No such transfer shall be given effect unless and until registration hereunder shall have occurred. The Equipment Note Register shall be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Mortgagee. The Mortgagee is hereby appointed “Equipment Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Equipment Notes and transfers of Equipment Notes as herein provided. A holder of any Equipment Note intending to exchange such Equipment Note shall surrender such Equipment Note to the Mortgagee at the Corporate Trust Office, together with a written request from the registered holder thereof for the issuance of a new Equipment Note, specifying, in the case of a surrender for transfer, the name and address of the new holder or holders. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note, the Owner shall execute, and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Equipment Notes of a like aggregate Original Amount and of the same Series. At the option of the Note Holder, Equipment Notes may be exchanged for other Equipment Notes of any authorized denominations of a like aggregate Original Amount, upon surrender of the Equipment Notes to be exchanged to the Mortgagee at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any Equipment Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Owner shall execute, and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver, the Equipment Notes


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		15

which the Note Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Equipment Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes (whether under this Section 2.07 or under Section 2.08 hereof or otherwise under this Trust Indenture) shall be the valid obligations of the Owner evidencing the same respective obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits under this Trust Indenture, as the Equipment Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Equipment Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, shall (if so required by the Mortgagee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Mortgagee duly executed by the Note Holder or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Mortgagee shall require evidence satisfactory to it as to the compliance of any such transfer with the Securities Act, and the securities Laws of any applicable state. The Mortgagee shall make a notation on each new Equipment Note of the amount of all payments of Original Amount previously made on the old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes with respect to which such new Equipment Note is issued and the date to which interest on such old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes has been paid. Interest shall be deemed to have been paid on such new Equipment Note to the date on which interest shall have been paid on such old Equipment Note, and all payments of the Original Amount marked on such new Equipment Note, as provided above, shall be deemed to have been made thereon. The Owner shall not be required to exchange any surrendered Equipment Notes as provided above during the ten-day period preceding the due date of any payment on such Equipment Note. The Owner shall in all cases deem the Person in whose name any Equipment Note shall have been issued and registered as the absolute owner and holder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable by the Owner with respect to such Equipment Note and for all purposes until a notice stating otherwise is received from the Mortgagee and such change is reflected on the Equipment Note Register. The Mortgagee will promptly notify the Owner of each registration of a transfer of an Equipment Note. Any such transferee of an Equipment Note, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, (i) agrees to the provisions of this Trust Indenture and the Participation Agreement applicable to Note Holders, including Sections 6.3, 6.4 and 9.1 thereof, and shall be deemed to have covenanted to the parties to the Participation Agreement as to the matters covenanted by the original Note Holder in the Participation Agreement and (ii) agrees to the restrictions set forth in Sections 4.1(a)(i) and 4.1(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement, and shall be deemed to have covenanted to the parties to the Intercreditor Agreement not to give any direction, or otherwise authorize, the Mortgagee to take any action that would violate Sections 4.1(a)(i) or 4.1(a)(iii) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to compliance by the Note Holder and its transferee (if any) of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.07, Mortgagee and Owner shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment Notes upon transfer or exchange within 10 Business Days of the date an Equipment Note is surrendered for transfer or exchange.

SECTION 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Equipment Notes

If any Equipment Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Owner shall, upon the written request of the holder of such Equipment Note, execute and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver in replacement thereof a new Equipment Note, payable in the same Original Amount dated the same date and captioned as issued in connection with the Aircraft. If the Equipment Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Mortgagee and a photocopy thereof shall be furnished to the Owner. If the Equipment Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the holder of such


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		16

Equipment Note shall furnish to the Owner and the Mortgagee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Owner and the Mortgagee harmless and evidence satisfactory to the Owner and the Mortgagee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Equipment Note and of the ownership thereof. If a “qualified institutional buyer” of the type referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(A), (B), (D) or (E) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “QIB”) is the holder of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Equipment Note, then the written indemnity of such QIB, signed by an authorized officer thereof, in favor of, delivered to and in form reasonably satisfactory Owner shall be accepted as satisfactory indemnity and security and no further indemnity or security shall be required as a condition to the execution and delivery of such new Equipment Note. Subject to compliance by the Note Holder with the requirements set forth in this Section 2.08, Mortgagee and Owner shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment Notes within 10 Business Days of the date of the written request therefor from the Note Holder.

SECTION 2.09. Payment of Expenses on Transfer; Cancellation

(a) No service charge shall be made to a Note Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes, but the Mortgagee, as Equipment Note Registrar, may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes.

(b) The Mortgagee shall cancel all Equipment Notes surrendered for replacement, redemption, transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall destroy the canceled Equipment Notes.

SECTION 2.10. Mandatory Redemptions of Equipment Notes

On the date on which the Owner is required pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof to make payment for an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe, all of the Equipment Notes shall be redeemed in whole at a redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid Original Amount thereof, together with all accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption and all other Secured Obligations (other than Related Secured Obligations) owed or then due and payable to the Note Holders but without Make-Whole Amount.

TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		29

Mortgagee hereby agrees, and each Note Holder and Related Note Holder by acceptance of an Equipment Note and a Related Equipment Note, respectively, agrees, for the benefit of each lessor, conditional seller, indenture trustee or secured party of any engine leased to, or purchased by, Owner or any Permitted Lessee subject to a lease, conditional sale, trust indenture or other security agreement that Mortgagee, each Note Holder and Related Note Holder and their respective successors and assigns will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor, conditional seller, indenture trustee or secured party, any right, title or interest in any engine as the result of such engine being installed on the Airframe at any time while such engine is subject to such lease, conditional sale, trust indenture or other security agreement and owned by such lessor or conditional seller or subject to a trust indenture or security interest in favor of such indenture trustee or secured party.

(c) Operation and Use. So long as the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, the Owner shall not operate, use or locate the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, or allow the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine to be operated, used or located, (i) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 4.06, except in the case of a requisition by the U.S. Government where the Owner obtains indemnity in lieu of such insurance from the U.S. Government, or insurance from the U.S. Government, against substantially the same risks and for at least the amounts of the insurance required by Section 4.06 covering such area, or (ii) in any recognized area of hostilities unless covered in accordance with Section 4.06 by war risk insurance, or in either case unless the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine is only temporarily operated, used or located in such area as a result of an emergency, equipment malfunction, navigational error, hijacking, weather condition or other similar unforeseen circumstance, so long as Owner diligently and in good faith proceeds to remove the Aircraft from such area. So long as the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, the Owner shall not permit such Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, as the case may be, to be used, operated, maintained, serviced, repaired or overhauled (x) in violation of any Law binding on or applicable to such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine or (y) in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration of any Government Entity relating to the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine, except (i) immaterial or non-recurring violations with respect to which corrective measures are taken promptly by Owner or Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, upon discovery thereof, or (ii) to the extent the validity or application of any such Law or requirement relating to any such certificate, license or registration is being contested in good faith by Owner or Permitted Lessee in any reasonable manner which does not involve any material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty against Mortgagee or impair the Mortgagee’s security interest or International Interest in the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine.

TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		30

such Aircraft to be maintained under the regulations of the FAA or other Aviation Authority then having jurisdiction over the operation of the Aircraft, except during (x) temporary periods of storage in accordance with applicable regulations, (y) maintenance and modification permitted hereunder or (z) periods when the FAA or such other Aviation Authority has revoked or suspended the airworthiness certificates for Similar Aircraft; and (ii) except during periods when a Permitted Lease is in effect, the same standards as Owner uses with respect to similar aircraft of similar size in its fleet operated by Owner in similar circumstances and, during any period in which a Permitted Lease is in effect, the same standards used by the Permitted Lessee with respect to similar aircraft of similar size in its fleet and operated by the Permitted Lessee in similar circumstances (it being understood that this clause (ii) shall not limit Owner’s obligations under the preceding clause (i)). Owner further agrees that the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines will be maintained, used, serviced, repaired, overhauled or inspected in compliance with applicable Laws with respect to the maintenance of the Aircraft and in compliance with each applicable airworthiness certificate, license and registration relating to the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine issued by the Aviation Authority, other than minor or nonrecurring violations with respect to which corrective measures are taken upon discovery thereof and except to the extent Owner or Permitted Lessee is contesting in good faith the validity or application of any such Law or requirement relating to any such certificate, license or registration in any reasonable manner which does not create a material risk of sale, loss or forfeiture of the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine or the interest of Mortgagee therein, or any material risk of criminal liability or material civil penalty against Mortgagee. The Owner shall maintain or cause to be maintained the Aircraft Documents in the English language.

(e) Registration. The Owner on or prior to the date of the Closing shall cause the Aircraft to be duly registered in its name under the Act and except as otherwise permitted by this Section 4.02(e) at all times thereafter shall cause the Aircraft to remain so registered.

Any such change in registration shall be effected only in compliance with, and subject to all of the conditions set forth in, Section 6.4.5 of the Participation Agreement. Unless this Trust Indenture has been discharged, Owner shall also cause this Trust Indenture to be duly recorded and at all times maintained of record as a first-priority perfected mortgage (subject to Permitted Liens) on the Aircraft, the Airframe and each of the Engines (except to the extent such perfection or priority cannot be maintained solely as a result of the failure by Mortgagee to execute and deliver any necessary documents). Unless the Lien of this Indenture has been discharged, Owner shall cause the International Interest granted under this Indenture in favor of the Mortgagee in each Airframe and Engine to be registered on the International Registry as an International Interest on such Airframe and Engine, subject to the Mortgagee providing its consent to the International Registry with respect thereto, and shall cause the sale to Owner of the Airframe and each Engine on the Delivery Date to be registered on the International Registry.

If any such placard is damaged or becomes illegible, Owner shall promptly replace it with a placard complying with the requirements of this Section.

SECTION 4.03. Inspection

(a) At all reasonable times, so long as the Aircraft is subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, Mortgagee and its authorized representatives (the “Inspecting Parties”) may (not more than once every 12 months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing then such inspection right shall not be so limited) inspect the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines (including without limitation, the Aircraft Documents) and any such Inspecting Party may make copies of such Aircraft Documents not reasonably deemed confidential by Owner or such Permitted Lessee.

(b) Any inspection of the Aircraft hereunder shall be limited to a visual, walk-around inspection and shall not include the opening of any panels, bays or other components of the Aircraft, and no such inspection shall interfere with Owner’s or any Permitted Lessee’s maintenance and operation of the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines.

(c) With respect to such rights of inspection, Mortgagee shall not have any duty or liability to make, or any duty or liability by reason of not making, any such visit, inspection or survey.

In addition, Owner may, at its own cost and expense, or may permit a Permitted Lessee at its own cost and expense to, remove (or cause to be removed) in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use; provided, however, that Owner, except as otherwise provided herein, at its own cost and expense, will, or will cause a Permitted Lessee at its own cost and expense to, replace such Parts as promptly as practicable. All replacement parts shall be free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens and pooling arrangements to the extent permitted by Section 4.04(c) below (and except in the case of replacement property temporarily installed on an emergency basis) and shall be in good operating condition and have a value and utility not less than the value and utility of the Parts replaced (assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition required hereunder).


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		32

(b) Parts. Except as otherwise provided herein, any Part at any time removed from the Airframe or any Engine shall remain subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, no matter where located, until such time as such Part shall be replaced by a part that has been incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine and that meets the requirements for replacement parts specified above. Immediately upon any replacement part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine as provided in Section 4.04(a), without further act, (i) the replaced Part shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Mortgagee and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder, and (ii) such replacement part shall become a Part subject to this Trust Indenture and be deemed part of such Airframe or any Engine, as the case may be, for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine.

(c) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Aircraft, Airframe or an Engine may be subjected by the Owner or a Permitted Lessee to a normal pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry and entered into in the ordinary course of business of Owner or Permitted Lessee, provided that the part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine in accordance with Sections 4.04(a) and 4.04(b) as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part. In addition, any replacement part when incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine may be owned by any third party, subject to a normal pooling arrangement, so long as the Owner or a Permitted Lessee, at its own cost and expense, as promptly thereafter as reasonably possible, either (i) causes such replacement part to become subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens, at which time such replacement part shall become a Part or (ii) replaces (or causes to be replaced) such replacement part by incorporating or installing in or attaching to the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine a further replacement part owned by the Owner free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens and which shall become subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture in accordance with Section 4.04(b).

(d) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. The Owner shall, or shall cause a Permitted Lessee to, make (or cause to be made) alterations and modifications in and additions to the Aircraft, Airframe and each Engine as may be required to be made from time to time to meet the applicable standards of the FAA or other Aviation Authority having jurisdiction over the operation of the Aircraft, to the extent made mandatory in respect of the Aircraft; provided however, that the Owner or a Permitted Lessee may, in good faith and by appropriate procedure, contest the validity or application of any law, rule, regulation or order in any reasonable manner which does not materially adversely affect Mortgagee’s interest in the Aircraft, does not impair the Mortgagee’s security interest or International Interest in the Aircraft and does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or the interest of Mortgagee therein, or any material risk of material civil penalty or any material risk of criminal liability being imposed on Mortgagee or the holder of any Equipment Note. In addition, the Owner, at its own expense, may, or may permit a Permitted Lessee at its own cost and expense to, from time to time make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine (each an “Optional Modification”) as the Owner or such


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		33

Permitted Lessee may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business including, without limitation, removal of Parts which Owner deems are obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use in the Aircraft, Airframe or such Engine; provided, however, that no such Optional Modification shall (i) materially diminish the fair market value, utility, or useful life of the Aircraft or any Engine below its fair market value, utility or useful life immediately prior to such Optional Modification (assuming the Aircraft or such Engine was in the condition required by this Trust Indenture immediately prior to such Optional Modification) or (ii) cause the Aircraft to cease to have the applicable standard certificate of airworthiness except that such certificate of airworthiness temporarily may be replaced by an experimental certificate during the process of implementing and testing such Optional Modification and securing related FAA re-certification of the Aircraft. All Parts incorporated or installed in or attached to any Airframe or any Engine as the result of any alteration, modification or addition effected by the Owner shall be free and clear of any Liens except Permitted Liens and become subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture; provided that the Owner or any Permitted Lessee may, at any time so long as the Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, remove any such Part (such Part being referred to herein as a “Removable Part”) from such Airframe or an Engine if (i) such Part is in addition to, and not in replacement of or in substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of, or in substitution for, any such original Part, (ii) such Part is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to such Airframe or any Engine pursuant to the terms of Section 4.02(d) or the first sentence of this Section 4.04(d) and (iii) such Part can be removed from such Airframe or any Engine without materially diminishing the fair market value, utility or remaining useful life which such Airframe or any Engine would have had at the time of removal had such removal not been effected by the Owner, assuming the Aircraft was otherwise maintained in the condition required by this Trust Indenture and such Removable Part had not been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft, Airframe or such Engine. Upon the removal by the Owner of any such Part as above provided in this Section 4.04(d), title thereto shall, without further act, be free and clear of all rights of the Mortgagee and such Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder. Removable Parts may be leased from or financed by third parties other than Mortgagee.

(e) Substitution of Engines. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under circumstances in which an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe has not occurred, Owner shall promptly (and in any event within 15 days after such occurrence) give the Mortgagee written notice of such Event of Loss. The Owner shall have the right at its option at any time, on at least five Business Days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee, to substitute, and if an Event of Loss shall have occurred with respect to an Engine under circumstances in which an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe has not occurred, shall within 60 days of the occurrence of such Event of Loss substitute, a Replacement Engine for any Engine. In such event, immediately upon the effectiveness of such substitution and without further act, (i) the replaced Engine shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Mortgagee and the Lien of this Trust Indenture and shall no longer be deemed an Engine hereunder and (ii) such Replacement Engine shall become subject to this Trust Indenture and be deemed part of the Aircraft for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the replaced Engine. Such Replacement Engine shall be an engine manufactured by Engine Manufacturer or another manufacturer that is the same model as the Engine to be replaced thereby, or a comparable or


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		34

improved model, and that is suitable for installation and use on the Airframe, and that has a value and utility (without regard to hours and cycles) at least equal to the Engine to be replaced thereby (assuming that such Engine had been maintained in accordance with this Trust Indenture). The Owner’s right to make a replacement hereunder shall be subject to the fulfillment (which may be simultaneous with such replacement) of the following conditions precedent at the Owner’s sole cost and expense, and the Mortgagee agrees to cooperate with the Owner to the extent necessary to enable it to timely satisfy such conditions:

(i) an executed counterpart of each of the following documents shall be delivered to the Mortgagee:

(A) a Trust Indenture Supplement covering the Replacement Engine, which shall have been duly filed for recordation pursuant to the Act or such other applicable law of the jurisdiction other than the United States in which the Aircraft of which such Engine is a part is registered in accordance with Section 4.02(e), as the case may be;

(B) a full warranty xxxx of sale (as to title), covering the Replacement Engine, executed by the former owner thereof in favor of the Owner (or, at the Owner’s option, other evidence of the Owner’s ownership of such Replacement Engine, reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee); and

(C) UCC financing statements covering the security interests created by this Trust Indenture (or any similar statements or other documents required to be filed or delivered pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Aircraft may be registered) as are deemed necessary or desirable by counsel for the Mortgagee to protect the security interests of the Mortgagee in the Replacement Engine;

(ii) the Owner shall cause to be delivered to the Mortgagee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Lien of this Trust Indenture continues to be in full force and effect with respect to the Replacement Engine and such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 4.06 with respect to such Replacement Engine as Mortgagee shall reasonably request;

(iii) the Owner shall have furnished to Mortgagee an opinion of Owner’s aviation law counsel reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee and addressed to Mortgagee as to the due filing for recordation of the Trust Indenture Supplement with respect to such Replacement Engine under the Act or such other applicable law of the jurisdiction other than the United States in which the Aircraft is registered in accordance with Section 4.02(e), as the case may be, and the registration (which Owner shall have caused to be effected) with the International Registry of the sale to Owner of such Replacement Engine (if occurring after February 28, 2006) and the International Interest granted under such Trust Indenture Supplement with respect to such Replacement Engine; and


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		35

(iv) the Owner shall have furnished to Mortgagee a certificate of a qualified aircraft engineer (who may be an employee of Owner) certifying that such Replacement Engine has a value and utility (without regard to hours and cycles) at least equal to the Engine so replaced (assuming that such Engine had been maintained in accordance with this Trust Indenture).

Upon satisfaction of all conditions to such substitution, (x) the Mortgagee shall execute and deliver to the Owner such documents and instruments, prepared at the Owner’s expense, as the Owner shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such replaced Engine from the Lien of this Trust Indenture, (y) the Mortgagee shall assign to the Owner all claims it may have against any other Person relating to any Event of Loss giving rise to such substitution and (z) the Owner shall receive all insurance proceeds (other than those reserved to others under Section 4.06(b)) and proceeds in respect of any Event of Loss giving rise to such replacement to the extent not previously applied to the purchase price of the Replacement Engine as provided in Section 4.05(d).

(f) Substitution of Airframe. Owner shall have the right at its option at any time, on at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Mortgagee, to substitute one or more Substitute Airframes, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), for the Airframe so long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of substitution, (ii) the Substitute Airframe shall be of the same model as the Airframe or a Boeing model 737-700 aircraft or a Boeing model 737-900ER aircraft, (iii) each Substitute Airframe has a date of manufacture no earlier than one year prior to the date of manufacture of the Airframe subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture on the Closing Date (each such date of manufacture, in each case, to be deemed to be the date of original delivery of the applicable airframe to a customer by the applicable airframe manufacturer), (iv) the Substitute Airframe has a MCMV (as defined below) (or, in the case of multiple Substitute Airframes, the sum of the MCMVs of such Substitute Airframes shall be) at least equal to the MCMV of the Airframe, plus the “MCMVs” of each applicable airframe under Section 4.04(f) of any Related Indenture, being replaced by the Substitute Airframes (assuming that the Airframe had been maintained in accordance with this Trust Indenture), in each case as determined by a desktop appraisal dated as of a date within the 60-day period prior to the substitution performed by an independent aircraft appraiser experienced in valuing commercial aircraft selected by Owner and (v) Owner shall have obtained Rating Agency Confirmation in respect of the substitution of the Airframe by such Substitute Airframes. “MCMV” is the “current market value” (as defined by the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading or any successor organization) adjusted for the maintenance status of the Substitute Airframe and the Airframe being replaced by the Substitute Airframe, as applicable, such maintenance status to be based upon maintenance data provided by Owner to the applicable appraiser with respect to the Substitute Airframe and such Airframe as of the same date within the 60-day period prior to the substitution for both the Substitute Airframe and such Airframe. Prior to the effectiveness of any such substitution of any Substitute Airframe for the Airframe on other than a one for one basis pursuant to this Section 4.04(f), Owner shall prepare amendments to this Trust Indenture (including the Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits hereto), in order to make the reasonably necessary changes arising from such substitution, including, if applicable, providing for separate financing agreements substantially the same as the Operative Agreements with respect to each such Substitute Airframe and the allocation among such Substitute Airframes of the principal amount of the Equipment Notes (and any applicable Related Equipment Notes) and remaining amortization schedule relating to the Airframe (or


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		36

relating to any applicable airframe under Section 4.04(f) of any Related Indenture) pro rata based on the MCMV of each Substitute Airframe or on such other basis among each Substitute Airframe determined in a manner consistent with, and as would preserve the aggregate amortization profile of, the original Equipment Notes). Owner shall submit such proposed amendments to the Rating Agencies in connection with Owner’s request for the Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such substitution and the Mortgagee shall execute and deliver such amendments upon Owner’s request.

Prior to or at the time of any substitution under this Section 4.04(f), Owner will (A) cause a Trust Indenture Supplement covering such Substitute Airframe to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Act or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered, (B) cause the sale of such Substitute Airframe to Owner (if occurring after February 28, 2006) and the International Interest created pursuant to the Trust Indenture Supplement in favor of the Mortgagee with respect to such Substitute Airframe to be registered on the International Registry as a sale or an International Interest, respectively, (C) cause a UCC financing statement or statements with respect to the security interests created by this Trust Indenture in such Substitute Airframe or other requisite documents or instruments to be filed in such place or places as necessary in order to perfect the Mortgagee’s security interest therein in the United States, or in any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered, (D) furnish the Mortgagee with an opinion of counsel to Owner (which may be external counsel or Owner’s legal department or such other internal counsel of Owner as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee) addressed to the Mortgagee to the effect that upon such substitution, such Substitute Airframe will be subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture and addressing the matters set forth in clauses (A) and (B), (E) furnish the Mortgagee with evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 4.06 with respect to such Substitute Airframe, (F) furnish the Mortgagee with a copy of a xxxx of sale respecting the conveyance to Owner of such Substitute Airframe and (G) furnish the Mortgagee with an opinion of counsel to Owner (which may be external counsel or Owner’s legal department or such other internal counsel of Owner as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee) to the effect that the Mortgagee will be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Substitute Airframe; provided that (i) such opinion need not be delivered to the extent that the benefits of Section 1110 were not, by reason of a change in law or governmental or judicial interpretation thereof, available to the Mortgagee with respect to the Aircraft immediately prior to such substitution and (ii) such opinion may contain qualifications and assumptions of the tenor contained in the opinion of counsel to Owner delivered pursuant to Section 4.1.2(x) of the Participation Agreement on the Closing Date and such other qualifications and assumptions as shall at the time be customary in opinions rendered in comparable circumstances.

In the case of the Substitute Airframe subjected to the Lien of this Trust Indenture under this Section 4.04(f), promptly upon the recordation of the Trust Indenture Supplement covering such Substitute Airframe pursuant to the Act (or pursuant to the applicable law of such other jurisdiction in which such Substitute Airframe is registered), Owner will cause to be delivered to the Mortgagee a favorable opinion of aviation law counsel to Owner (which may be external aviation law counsel or Owner’s legal department or such other internal counsel of Owner as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee) addressed to the Mortgagee as to the due registration of the Replacement Aircraft (after giving effect to the substitution of such Substitute Airframe) and the due recordation of such Trust Indenture Supplement pursuant to the Act.


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		37

(viii) the occurrence of a Related Indenture Event of Default.

SECTION 5.02. Remedies

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and so long as the same shall continue unremedied, then and in every such case the Mortgagee may exercise any or all of the rights and powers and pursue any and all of the remedies pursuant to this Article V and shall have and may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or of a chargee under the Cape Town Treaty and may take possession of all or any part of the properties covered or intended to be covered by the Lien created hereby or pursuant hereto and may exclude the Owner and all persons claiming under it wholly or partly therefrom; provided, that the Mortgagee shall give the Owner twenty days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell the Aircraft. Without limiting any of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Mortgagee may exercise any right of sale of the Aircraft available to it, even though it shall not have taken possession of the Aircraft and shall not have possession thereof at the time of such sale.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case the Mortgagee may (and shall, upon receipt of a written demand therefor from a Majority in Interest of Note Holders), at any time, by delivery of written notice or notices to the Owner, declare all the Equipment Notes to be due and payable, whereupon the unpaid Original Amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon (without Make-Whole Amount) and other amounts due thereunder or otherwise payable hereunder, shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand,


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		45

protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived; provided that if an Event of Default referred to in clause (v), (vi) or (vii) of Section 5.01 hereof shall have occurred, then and in every such case the unpaid Original Amount then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest (without Make-Whole Amount) and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Equipment Notes shall immediately and without further act become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived.

This Section 5.02(b), however, is subject to the condition that, if at any time after the Original Amount of the Equipment Notes shall have become so due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the money so due, or any thereof, shall be entered, all overdue payments of interest upon the Equipment Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the Equipment Notes (except the Original Amount of the Equipment Notes and any Make-Whole Amount which by such declaration shall have become payable) shall have been duly paid, and every other Default and Event of Default with respect to any covenant or provision of this Trust Indenture shall have been cured, then and in every such case a Majority in Interest of Note Holders may (but shall not be obligated to), by written instrument filed with the Mortgagee, rescind and annul the Mortgagee’s declaration (or such automatic acceleration) and its consequences; but no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(c) The Note Holders shall be entitled, at any sale pursuant to this Section 5.02, to credit against any purchase price bid at such sale by such holder all or any part of the unpaid obligations owing to such Note Holder and secured by the Lien of this Trust Indenture (only to the extent that such purchase price would have been paid to such Note Holder pursuant to Article III hereof if such purchase price were paid in cash and the foregoing provisions of this subsection (c) were not given effect).

(d) In the event of any sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, pursuant to any judgment or decree of any court or otherwise in connection with the enforcement of any of the terms of this Trust Indenture, the unpaid Original Amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon (without Make-Whole Amount), and other amounts due thereunder, shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, so long as the Pass Through Trustee under any Pass Through Trust Agreement (or its designee) is a Note Holder, the Mortgagee will not be authorized or empowered to acquire title to any Collateral or take any action with respect to any Collateral so acquired by it if such acquisition or action would cause any Trust to fail to qualify as a “grantor trust” for federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 5.03. Return of Aircraft, Etc.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Equipment Notes have been accelerated, at the request of the Mortgagee, the Owner shall promptly execute and deliver to the Mortgagee such instruments of title and other documents as the Mortgagee may deem necessary or advisable to enable the Mortgagee or an agent or


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		46

representative designated by the Mortgagee, at such time or times and place or places as the Mortgagee may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to which the Mortgagee shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If the Owner shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after such request by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee may (i) obtain a judgment conferring on the Mortgagee the right to immediate possession and requiring the Owner to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to the Mortgagee, to the entry of which judgment the Owner hereby specifically consents to the fullest extent permitted by Law, and (ii) pursue all or part of such Collateral wherever it may be found and may enter any of the premises of Owner wherever such Collateral may be or be supposed to be and search for such Collateral and take possession of and remove such Collateral. All expenses of obtaining such judgment or of pursuing, searching for and taking such property shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Trust Indenture.

(b) Upon every such taking of possession, the Mortgagee may, from time to time, at the expense of the Collateral, make all such expenditures for maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, modifications or alterations to and of the Collateral, as it may deem proper. In each such case, the Mortgagee shall have the right to maintain, use, operate, store, insure, lease, control, manage, dispose of, modify or alter the Collateral and to exercise all rights and powers of the Owner relating to the Collateral, as the Mortgagee shall deem best, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, modification or alteration of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Mortgagee may determine, and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all rents, revenues and other proceeds of the Collateral and every part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Mortgagee under any provision of this Trust Indenture to collect and receive all cash held by, or required to be deposited with, the Mortgagee hereunder. Such rents, revenues and other proceeds shall be applied to pay the expenses of the maintenance, use, operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, improvement, modification or alteration of the Collateral and of conducting the business thereof, and to make all payments which the Mortgagee may be required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance or other proper charges upon the Collateral 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 Owner), and all other payments which the Mortgagee may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Trust Indenture, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Mortgagee, and of all persons properly engaged and employed by the Mortgagee with respect hereto.

SECTION 5.04. Remedies Cumulative

Each and every right, power and remedy given to the Mortgagee specifically or otherwise in this Trust Indenture 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 be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, 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 the Mortgagee in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of the Owner or to be an acquiescence therein.


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		47

SECTION 5.05. Discontinuance of Proceedings

In case the Mortgagee shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Trust Indenture 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 Mortgagee, then and in every such case the Owner and the Mortgagee shall, subject to any determination in such proceedings, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Owner or the Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been instituted.

SECTION 5.06. Waiver of Past Defaults

Upon written instruction from a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, the Mortgagee shall waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences and upon any such waiver such Default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Trust Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided, that in the absence of written instructions from all the Note Holders, the Mortgagee shall not waive any Default (i) in the payment of the Original Amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest and other amounts due under any Equipment Note then outstanding, or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Article X hereof, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Note Holder. The Mortgagee shall notify the Rating Agency of any such waiver of past Default.

SECTION 5.07. Appointment of Receiver

The Mortgagee shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver (who may be the Mortgagee or any successor or nominee thereof) for all or any part of the Collateral, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or the taking of possession thereof or otherwise, and the Owner hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose any such appointment. Any receiver appointed for all or any part of the Collateral shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and powers of the Mortgagee with respect to the Collateral.

SECTION 5.08. Mortgagee Authorized to Execute Bills of Sale, Etc.

The Owner irrevocably appoints, while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Owner (which appointment is coupled with an interest) in its name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery for the enforcement of the Lien of this Trust Indenture, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale, assignments and other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution, the Owner hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any substitute shall do by virtue hereof in accordance with applicable law. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Mortgagee or any purchaser, the Owner shall ratify and confirm any such sale, assignment, transfer or delivery, by executing and delivering to the Mortgagee 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.

DUTIES OF THE MORTGAGEE

SECTION 6.01. Notice of Event of Default

If the Mortgagee shall have Actual Knowledge of an Event of Default or of a Default arising from a failure to pay any installment of principal and interest on any Equipment Note, the Mortgagee shall give prompt written notice thereof to each Note Holder and the Rating Agency. Subject to the terms of Sections 5.06, 6.02 and 6.03 hereof, the Mortgagee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default (including with respect to the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder) as the Mortgagee shall be instructed in writing by a Majority in Interest of Note Holders. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, if the Mortgagee shall not have received instructions as above provided within 20 days after mailing notice of such Event of Default to the Note Holders, the Mortgagee may, subject to instructions thereafter received pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 6.01, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, but shall be under no duty to take or refrain from taking any action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default as it shall determine advisable in the best interests of the Note Holders; provided, however, that the Mortgagee may not sell the Aircraft or any Engine without the consent of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders. For all purposes of this Trust Indenture, in the absence of Actual Knowledge on the part of the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default or an Event of Default (except, the failure of Owner to pay any installment of principal or interest within one Business Day after the same shall become due, which failure shall constitute knowledge of a Default) unless notified in writing by the Owner or one or more Note Holders.

SECTION 6.02. Action Upon Instructions; Certain Rights and Limitations

Subject to the terms of Sections 5.02(a), 5.06, 6.01 and 6.03 hereof, upon the written instructions at any time and from time to time of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, the Mortgagee shall, subject to the terms of this Section 6.02, take such of the following actions as may be specified in such instructions: (i) give such notice or direction or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder as shall be specified in such instructions and (ii) give such notice or direction or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder with respect to any part of the Collateral as shall be specified in such instructions; it being understood that without the written instructions of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, the Mortgagee shall not, except as provided in Section 6.01, approve any such matter as satisfactory to the Mortgagee.

SECTION 6.03. Indemnification

The Mortgagee shall not be required to take any action or refrain from taking any action under Section 6.01 (other than the first sentence thereof), 6.02 or Article V hereof unless the Mortgagee shall have been indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against any liability, cost or expense (including counsel fees) which may be incurred in connection therewith pursuant to a written agreement with one or more Note Holders. The Mortgagee agrees that it shall look solely to the Note Holders for the satisfaction of any indemnity (except expenses for foreclosure of the type referred to in clause “First” of Section 3.03 hereof) owed to it pursuant to this Section 6.03. The Mortgagee shall not be under any obligation to take any action under this Trust Indenture or any other Operative Agreement and nothing herein or therein shall require the Mortgagee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur the risk of any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it (the written indemnity of any Note Holder who is a QIB, signed by an authorized officer thereof, in favor of, delivered to and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee shall be accepted as reasonable assurance of adequate indemnity). The Mortgagee shall not be required to take any action under Section 6.01 (other than the first sentence thereof) or 6.02 or Article V hereof, nor shall any other provision of this Trust Indenture or any other Operative Agreement be deemed to impose a duty on the Mortgagee to take any action, if the Mortgagee shall have been advised by counsel that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to Law.

SECTION 6.04. No Duties Except as Specified in Trust Indenture or Instructions

The Mortgagee shall not have any duty or obligation to use, operate, store, lease, control, manage, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the Collateral, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Trust Indenture or any part of the Collateral, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Trust Indenture or as expressly provided in written instructions from Note Holders as provided in this Trust Indenture; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Trust Indenture against the Mortgagee. The Mortgagee agrees that it will in its 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 8.01 hereof), promptly take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge all liens and encumbrances on any part of the Collateral which result from claims against it in its individual capacity not related to the administration of the Collateral or any other transaction pursuant to this Trust Indenture or any document included in the Collateral.

Any amounts held by the Mortgagee pursuant to Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.07 or pursuant to any provision of any other Operative Agreement providing for amounts to be held by the Mortgagee which are not distributed pursuant to the other provisions of Article III hereof shall be invested by the Mortgagee from time to time in Cash Equivalents as directed by the Owner so long as the Mortgagee may acquire the same using its best efforts. All Cash Equivalents held by the Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 6.06 shall either be (a) registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or specially endorsed to, the Mortgagee, or (b) held in an Eligible Account. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Trust Indenture, any income realized as a result of any such investment, net of the Mortgagee’s reasonable fees and expenses in making such investment, shall be held and applied by the Mortgagee, in the same manner as the principal amount of such investment is to be applied and any losses, net of earnings and such reasonable fees and expenses, shall be charged against the principal amount invested. The Mortgagee shall not be liable for any loss resulting from any investment required to be made by it under this Trust Indenture other than by reason of its willful misconduct or gross negligence or negligence in the handling of funds, and any such investment may be sold (without regard to its maturity) by the Mortgagee without instructions whenever such sale is necessary to make a distribution required by this Trust Indenture.

The Mortgagee shall not incur any liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Mortgagee may accept a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors (or Executive Committee thereof) of the Owner, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary thereof as duly adopted and in full force and effect, as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted and that the same is in full force and effect. As to the aggregate unpaid Original Amount of Equipment Notes outstanding as of any date, the Owner may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate signed by any Vice President or other authorized corporate trust officer of the Mortgagee. As to any fact or matter relating to the Owner the manner of the ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Mortgagee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of the Owner, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Mortgagee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

SECTION 9.01. Resignation of Mortgagee; Appointment of Successor

(a) The Mortgagee or any successor thereto may resign at any time without cause by giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Owner and each Note Holder, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of the trusteeship by a successor Mortgagee. In addition, a Majority in Interest of Note Holders may at any time (but only with the consent of Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that such consent shall not be necessary if an Event of Default is continuing) remove the Mortgagee without cause by an instrument in writing delivered to the Owner and the Mortgagee, and the Mortgagee shall promptly notify each Note Holder thereof in writing, such removal to be effective upon the acceptance of the trusteeship by a successor Mortgagee. In the case of the resignation or removal of the Mortgagee, a Majority in Interest of Note Holders may appoint a successor Mortgagee by an instrument signed by such holders, which successor, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be subject to Owner’s reasonable approval. If a successor Mortgagee shall not have been appointed within 30 days after such notice of resignation or removal, the Mortgagee, the Owner or any Note Holder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Mortgagee to act until such time, if any, as a successor shall have been appointed as above provided. The successor Mortgagee so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Mortgagee appointed as above provided.

(b) Any successor Mortgagee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the Owner and the predecessor Mortgagee an instrument accepting such appointment and assuming the obligations of the Mortgagee arising from and after the time of such appointment, and thereupon such successor Mortgagee, without further act, shall become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and duties of the predecessor Mortgagee hereunder in the trust hereunder applicable to it with like effect as if originally named the Mortgagee herein; but nevertheless upon the written request of such successor Mortgagee, such predecessor Mortgagee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Mortgagee, upon the trusts herein expressed applicable to it, all the estates, properties, rights and powers of such predecessor Mortgagee, and such predecessor Mortgagee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to such successor Mortgagee all monies or other property then held by such predecessor Mortgagee hereunder.


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		54

(c) Any successor Mortgagee, however appointed, shall be a bank or trust company having its principal place of business in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York; Chicago, Illinois; Hartford, Connecticut; Wilmington, Delaware; or Boston, Massachusetts and having (or whose obligations under the Operative Agreements are guaranteed by an affiliated entity having) a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000, if there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of the Mortgagee hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms.

(d) Any corporation into which the Mortgagee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Mortgagee shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust business of the Mortgagee may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of paragraph (c) of this Section 9.01, be a successor Mortgagee and the Mortgagee under this Trust Indenture without further act.

The coverage requirements outlined above may be subject to sub-limits and/or aggregate limits and/or deductibles as may be standard in the international airline insurance market.

2. During any period that the Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation, Owner (or Permitted Lessee) may carry or cause to be carried, in lieu of the insurance required by Section A.1 above, insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said Section A.1 except that (i) the amounts of coverage shall not be required to exceed the amounts of public liability and property damage insurance from time to time applicable to aircraft owned or operated by Owner (or Permitted Lessee) of the same type as the Aircraft which are on the ground and not in operation and (ii) the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time shall be applicable to aircraft owned or operated by Owner (or Permitted Lessee) of the same type which are on the ground and not in operation.


TRUST INDENTURE 19-1 (A,B and C)

X.	Xxxx Insurance

1. Except as provided in Section B.2 below, Owner (or Permitted Lessee) will carry or cause to be carried at all times, at no expense to Mortgagee, with Approved Insurers “all-risk” ground and flight aircraft hull insurance covering the Aircraft (including the Engines when they are installed on the Airframe or any other airframe) which is of the type as from time to time applicable to aircraft owned by Owner (or Permitted Lessee) of the same type as the Aircraft for an amount denominated in United States Dollars not less than the unpaid Original Amount together with six months of interest accrued thereon (collectively, the “Debt Balance”).

Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Section B.1 or Section C covering the Aircraft and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies (i) shall name Mortgagee as exclusive loss payee for any proceeds to be paid under such policies up to an amount equal to the Debt Balance and (ii) shall provide that (A) in the event of a loss involving proceeds in excess of the Threshold Amount, the proceeds in respect of such loss up to an amount equal to the Debt Balance shall be payable to the Mortgagee, except in the case of a loss with respect to an Engine installed on an airframe other than the Airframe, in which case Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) shall endeavor to arrange for any payment of insurance proceeds in respect of such loss to be held for the account of the Mortgagee whether such payment is made to Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) or any third party, it being understood and agreed that in the case of any payment to Mortgagee otherwise than in respect of an Event of Loss, the Mortgagee shall, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to it that the damage giving rise to such payment shall have been repaired or that such payment shall then be required to pay for repairs then being made, pay the amount of such payment to Owner or its order, and (B) the entire amount of any loss involving proceeds of the Threshold Amount or less or the amount of any proceeds of any loss in excess of the Debt Balance shall be paid to Owner or its order unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the insurers have been notified thereof by the Mortgagee. In the case of a loss with respect to an engine (other than an Engine) installed on the Airframe, Mortgagee shall hold any payment to it of any insurance proceeds in respect of such loss for the account of Owner or any other third party that is entitled to receive such proceeds.

2. During any period that the Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation, Owner (or Permitted Lessee) may carry or cause to be carried, in lieu of the insurance required by Section B.1 above, insurance otherwise conforming with the provisions of said Section B.1 except that the scope of the risks and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time applicable to aircraft owned by Owner (or Permitted Lessee) of the same type similarly on the ground and not in operation, provided that Owner (or Permitted Lessee) shall maintain insurance against risk of loss or damage to the Aircraft in an amount equal to the Debt Balance during such period that the Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation.

C.	War-Risk, Hijacking and Allied Perils Insurance

If Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) shall at any time operate or propose to operate the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine (i) in any area of recognized hostilities or (ii) on international routes and war-risk, hijacking or allied perils insurance is maintained by Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) with respect to other aircraft owned or operated by Owner (or any Permitted


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		2

Lessee) on such routes or in such areas, Owner (or Permitted Lessee) shall maintain or cause to be maintained war-risk, hijacking and related perils insurance of substantially the same type carried by major United States commercial air carriers operating the same or comparable models of aircraft on similar routes or in such areas and in no event in an amount less than the unpaid Original Amount.

D.	General Provisions

Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with Sections A, B and C, including any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for such policies:

(i) in the case of Section A, shall name Mortgagee, each Note Holder, each Related Mortgagee and each Related Note Holder as an additional insured (collectively, the “Additional Insureds”), as its interests may appear;

(ii) shall apply worldwide and have no territorial restrictions or limitations (except only in the case of war, hijacking and related perils insurance required under Section C, which shall apply to the fullest extent available in the international insurance market);

(iii) shall provide that, in respect of the interests of the Additional Insureds in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated or impaired by any act or omission (including misrepresentation and nondisclosure) by Owner (or any Permitted Lessee) or any other Person (including, without limitation, use for illegal purposes of the Aircraft or any Engine) and shall insure the Additional Insureds regardless of any breach or violation of any representation, warranty, declaration, term or condition contained in such policies by Owner (or any Permitted Lessee);

(iv) shall provide that, if the insurers cancel such insurance for any reason whatsoever, or if the same is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, or if any material change is made in the insurance which adversely affects the interest of any of the Additional Insureds, such cancellation, lapse or change shall not be effective as to the Additional Insureds for thirty (30) days (seven (7) days in the case of war risk, hijacking and allied perils insurance and ten (10) days in case of nonpayment of premium) after receipt by the Additional Insureds of written notice by such insurers of such cancellation, lapse or change, provided that if any notice period specified above is not reasonably obtainable, such policies shall provide for as long a period of prior notice as shall then be reasonably obtainable;

(v) shall waive any rights of setoff (including for unpaid premiums), recoupment, counterclaim or other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, against each Additional Insured;

(vi) shall waive any right of subrogation against any Additional Insured;

(vii) shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be available to any Additional Insured;


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		3

(viii) shall provide that all of the liability insurance provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in all respects as if a separate policy had been issued covering each party insured thereunder;

(ix) shall provide that none of the Additional Insureds shall be liable for any insurance premium; and

(x) shall contain a 50/50% Clause per Lloyd’s Aviation Underwriters’ Association Standard Policy Form AVS 103 or US market equivalent.

E.	Reports and Certificates; Other Information

On or prior to the Closing Date and on or prior to each renewal date of the insurance policies required hereunder, Owner(or Permitted Lessee) will furnish or cause to be furnished to Mortgagee insurance certificates describing in reasonable detail the insurance maintained by Owner (or Permitted Lessee) hereunder and a report, signed by Owner’s (or Permitted Lessee’s) regularly retained independent insurance broker (the “Insurance Broker”), stating the opinion of such Insurance Broker that (a) all premiums in connection with such insurance then due have been paid and (b) such insurance complies with the terms of this Annex B, except that such opinion shall not be required with respect to war risk insurance or indemnity provided by the U.S. Government. To the extent such agreement is reasonably obtainable Owner (or Permitted Lessee) will also cause the Insurance Broker to agree to advise Mortgagee in writing of any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of Owner (or Permitted Lessee) of which it has knowledge and which might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the Aircraft or Engines required hereunder or cause the cancellation or termination of such insurance, and to advise Mortgagee in writing at least thirty (30) days (seven (7) days in the case of war-risk and allied perils coverage and ten (10) days in the case of nonpayment of premium, or such shorter period as may be available in the international insurance market, as the case may be) prior to the cancellation, lapse or material adverse change of any insurance maintained pursuant to this Annex B.

F.	Right to Pay Premiums

The Additional Insureds shall have the rights but not the obligations of an additional named insured with respect to paying premiums. None of Mortgagee and the other Additional Insured shall have any obligation to pay any premium, commission, assessment or call due on any such insurance (including reinsurance). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of cancellation of any insurance due to the nonpayment of premiums, Mortgagee shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to pay any such premium in respect of the Aircraft that is due in respect of the coverage pursuant to this Trust Indenture and to maintain such coverage, as Mortgagee may require, until the scheduled expiry date of such insurance and, in such event, Owner shall, upon demand, reimburse Mortgagee for amounts so paid by them.


TRUST INDENTURE 22-1 (A and B)		4

G.	Deductibles; Self-insurance

Owner (or Permitted Lessee) may self-insure by way of deductible, premium adjustment or franchise provisions or otherwise (including, with respect to insurance maintained pursuant to Section B, insuring for a maximum amount which is less than the Debt Balance) in the insurance covering the risks required to be insured against pursuant to Section 4.06 and this Annex B under a program applicable to all aircraft in Owner’s (or Permitted Lessee’s) fleet, but in no case shall the aggregate amount of self-insurance in regard to Section 4.06 and this Annex B exceed during any policy year, with respect to all of the aircraft in Owner’s (or Permitted Lessee’s) fleet (including, without limitation, the Aircraft), the lesser of (a) 100% of the largest replacement value of any single aircraft in Owner’s fleet and (b) 1-1/2% of the average aggregate insurable value (during the preceding policy year) of all aircraft (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) on which Owner carries insurance, unless an insurance broker of national standing shall certify that the standard among all other major U.S. airlines is a higher level of self-insurance, in which case Owner may self-insure to such higher level. In addition, Owner (and any Permitted Lessee) may self-insure to the extent of any applicable deductible per aircraft that does not exceed industry standards for major U.S. airlines.
