without premium, but including any other amounts then due and payable to

the Applicable Certificates; provided, however, that (i) if such purchase

aggregate amount of unused Deposits and interest to be distributed under
the Escrow Agreement (which deducted amounts shall remain distributable to,
and may be retained by, the Applicable Certificateholder as of such Record
Date) and (ii) if such purchase occurs after a Record Date, such purchase
price shall be reduced by the amount to be distributed hereunder on the
related Distribution Date (which deducted amounts shall remain

Applicable Certificates shall be effective unless the purchaser(s) shall
certify to the Trustee that contemporaneously with such purchase, such
purchaser(s) is purchasing the Applicable Certificates pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement and the trust supplement entered into with respect
to the Class C Trust (if any). Each payment of the purchase price of the
Applicable Certificates referred to in the first sentence hereof shall be
made to an account or accounts designated by the Trustee and each such
purchase shall be subject to the terms of this Section 4.01(a). Each
Applicable Certificateholder agrees by its acceptance of its Applicable

then due and payable as respects any action or inaction or state of affairs
occurring prior to such sale) and the purchaser shall assume all of such
Applicable Certificateholder's obligations under this Agreement, the Escrow
Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the
Liquidity Facility, the Policy, the Note Documents and all such Applicable
Certificates and Escrow Receipts. The Applicable Certificates will be
deemed to be purchased on the date payment of the purchase price is made
notwithstanding the failure of the Applicable Certificateholders to deliver
any Applicable Certificates and, upon such a purchase, (i) the only rights
of the Applicable Certificateholders will be to deliver the Applicable
Certificates to the purchaser(s) and receive the purchase price for such
Applicable Certificates and (ii) if the purchaser(s) shall so request, such
Applicable Certificateholder will comply with all the provisions of Section

conditions specified in the Underwriting Agreement, the Trustee shall
execute, deliver, authenticate, issue and sell Applicable Certificates in
authorized denominations equaling in the aggregate the amount set forth,
with respect to the Applicable Trust, in Schedule I to the Underwriting
Agreement evidencing the entire ownership interest in the Applicable Trust,
which amount equals the maximum aggregate principal amount of Equipment
Notes which may be purchased by the Trustee pursuant to the Note Purchase
Agreement. Except as provided in Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 of the
Basic Agreement, the Trustee shall not execute, authenticate or deliver
Applicable Certificates in excess of the aggregate amount specified in this
paragraph.
(b) On or after the Issuance Date the Company may deliver from
time to time to the Trustee a Closing Notice relating to one or more
Equipment Notes. After receipt of a Closing Notice and in any case no later
than one Business Day prior to a Delivery Date as to which such Closing
Notice relates (the "Applicable Delivery Date"), the Trustee shall (as and
when specified in the Closing Notice) instruct the Escrow Agent to provide
a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal to the Depositary requesting (A) the
withdrawal of one or more Deposits on the Applicable Delivery Date in
accordance with and to the extent permitted by the terms of the Escrow
Agreement and the Deposit Agreement and (B) the payment of all, or a
portion, of such Deposit or Deposits in an amount equal in the aggregate to
the purchase price of such Equipment Notes to or on behalf of the Owner
Trustee or the Company, as the case may be, issuing such Equipment Notes,
all as shall be described in the Closing Notice. The Trustee shall (as and
when specified in such Closing Notice), subject to the conditions set forth
in Section 3 of the Note Purchase Agreement, enter into and perform its
obligations under the Participation Agreement specified in such Closing
Notice (the "Applicable Participation Agreement") and cause such
certificates, documents and legal opinions relating to the Trustee to be
duly delivered as required by the Applicable Participation Agreement. If at
any time prior to the Applicable Delivery Date, the Trustee receives a
notice of postponement pursuant to Section 2(e), 2(f), or 2(g) of the Note
Purchase Agreement, then the Trustee shall give the Depositary (with a copy
to the Escrow Agent) a notice of cancellation of such Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal relating to such Deposit or Deposits on such Applicable Delivery
Date. Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Note Purchase
Agreement and the Applicable Participation Agreement, the Trustee shall
purchase the applicable Equipment Notes with the proceeds of the
withdrawals of one or more Deposits made on the Applicable Delivery Date in
accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement and the Escrow
Agreement. The purchase price of such Equipment Notes shall equal the
principal amount of such Equipment Notes. Amounts withdrawn from such
Deposit or Deposits in excess of the purchase price of the Equipment Notes
or to the extent not applied on the Applicable Delivery Date to the
purchase price of the Equipment Notes, shall be re-deposited by the Trustee
with the Depositary on the Applicable Delivery Date in accordance with the
terms of the Deposit Agreement. The provisions of Section 5.01(a) hereof
and this Section 5.01(b) supersede and replace the provisions of Section
2.02 of the Basic Agreement (which are inapplicable to the Trust), and all
provisions of the Basic Agreement relating to Section 2.02 of the Basic
Agreement shall not apply to the Applicable Trust.
Section 5.02Withdrawal of Deposits. If any Deposits remain
outstanding on the Business Day next succeeding the Cut-off Date, (i) the
Trustee shall give the Escrow Agent notice that the Trustee's obligation to
purchase Equipment Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement has terminated
and instruct the Escrow Agent to provide a notice of Final Withdrawal to
the Depositary substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Deposit
Agreement (the "Final Withdrawal Notice") and (ii) the Trustee will make a
demand upon the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement for an amount
equal to the Special Redemption Premium, such payment to be made on the
Final Withdrawal Date.

thereto.
Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement
and any related Intercreditor Agreement, from funds then available to the
Trustee, there will be distributed on each February 20 and August 20 (a

no interest shall accrue during the intervening period. The Trustee shall
mail notice of each Special Payment and the Special Distribution Date
therefor to the Certificateholder of this Certificate.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee

that with respect to Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name
of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee), such distribution shall be made by
wire transfer. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and
notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will
be made after notice mailed by the Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in such notice.
The Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or an
obligation guaranteed by, or an interest in, the Company or the Trustee or
any affiliate thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment,
all as more specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement.
All payments or distributions made to Certificateholders under the
Agreement shall be made only from the Trust Property and only to the extent
that the Trustee shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust
Property to make such payments in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement. Each Certificateholder of this Certificate, by its acceptance
hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the income and proceeds from the
Trust Property to the extent available for distribution to such
Certificateholder as provided in the Agreement. This Certificate does not
purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement
for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement
may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the
Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by
any Certificateholder upon request.

provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under
the Agreement at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent
of the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional
Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the
Trust. Any such consent by the Certificateholder of this Certificate shall
be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder and upon all future
Certificateholders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon
the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without
the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register
upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Registrar,
or by any successor Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written

without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 Fractional Undivided
Interest and integral multiples thereof except that one Certificate may be

subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing
the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, as requested
by the Certificateholder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
Each Certificateholder and Investor, by its acceptance of this
Certificate or a beneficial interest herein, agrees to treat the Trust as a
grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

Registrar, nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement
and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them
pursuant to the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part
of the Trust Property.
