maturity thereof or otherwise for any reason whatsoever, and for the uses and
purposes and in all cases and as to all property specified in paragraphs (1)
through (5) inclusive above, subject to the terms and provisions set forth in
this Indenture.
It is expressly agreed that notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company shall remain liable under the Purchase Agreement to
perform all of its obligations thereunder, and, except to the extent expressly
provided in any Operative Document, none of the Loan Trustee, any Noteholders or
any Indenture Indemnitee shall be required or obligated in any manner to perform
or fulfill any obligations of the Company under or pursuant to any thereof, or
to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by
it, or present or file any claim or take any action to collect or enforce the
payment of any amount that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be
entitled at any time or times.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but without in any way
releasing the Company from any of its duties or obligations under the Purchase
Agreement), the Loan Trustee, the Noteholders and the Indenture Indemnitees
confirm for the benefit of the Manufacturer that in exercising any rights under
the Warranty Rights, or in making any claim with respect to the Aircraft or
other goods and services delivered or to be delivered pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement relating to the
Warranty Rights, including, without limitation, the warranty disclaimer
provisions for the benefit of the Manufacturer, shall apply to and be binding
upon the Loan Trustee, the Noteholders and the Indenture Indemnitees to the same
extent as the Company. The Company hereby directs the Manufacturer, so long as
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to pay all amounts,
if any, payable to the Company pursuant to the Warranty Rights directly to the
Loan Trustee to be held and applied as provided herein. Nothing contained herein
shall subject the Manufacturer to any liability to which it would not otherwise
be subject under the Purchase Agreement or modify in any respect the contract
rights of the Manufacturer thereunder except as provided in the Manufacturer's
Consent.
The Company does hereby constitute the Loan Trustee the true and lawful
attorney of the Company (which appointment is coupled with an interest) with
full power (in the name of the Company or otherwise) to ask, require, demand and
receive any and all monies and claims for monies (in each case including
insurance and requisition proceeds) due and to become due to the
3
Company under or arising out of the Purchase Agreement (to the extent assigned
hereby), and all other property which now or hereafter constitutes part of the
Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection
therewith and to file any claims or to take any action or to institute any
proceedings which the Loan Trustee may deem to be necessary or advisable in the
premises; provided that the Loan Trustee shall not exercise any such rights
except during the continuance of an Event of Default. The Company agrees that
promptly upon receipt thereof, to the extent required by the Operative
Documents, it will transfer to the Loan Trustee any and all monies from time to
time received by the Company constituting part of the Collateral, for
distribution by the Loan Trustee pursuant to this Indenture.
The Company does hereby warrant and represent that it has not sold,
assigned or pledged, and hereby covenants and agrees that it will not sell,
assign or pledge, so long as this Indenture shall remain in effect and the Lien
hereof shall not have been released pursuant to the provisions hereof, any of
its estate, right, title or interest hereby assigned, to any Person other than
the Loan Trustee, except as otherwise provided in or permitted by any Operative
Document.
The Company agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon the
written request of the Loan Trustee, the Company shall promptly and duly execute
and deliver or cause to be duly executed and delivered any and all such further
instruments and documents as the Loan Trustee may reasonably deem necessary to
perfect, preserve or protect the mortgage, security interests and assignments
created or intended to be created hereby or to obtain for the Loan Trustee the
full benefit of the assignment hereunder and of the rights and powers herein
granted, provided that any instrument or other document so executed by the
Company will not expand any obligations or limit any rights of the Company in
respect of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents.

amendment to this Indenture). On the Closing Date, each Series G Equipment Note,
Series C Equipment Note and Series D Equipment Note shall be issued to the
Subordination Agent on behalf of each of the Pass Through Trustees for the Pass
Through Trusts created under the Pass Through Trust Agreements referred to in
Schedule II. Any New Series C Equipment Notes, New Series D Equipment Notes and
Second New Series D Equipment Notes issued as contemplated by Section 2.11(b)
shall be issued to the Subordination Agent on the closing date of the applicable
Refunding. Subject to complying with the conditions set forth in Section 6.02(g)
of the Participation Agreement, the Company shall have the option to issue
Series E Equipment Notes at or after the Closing Date. 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.
Each Equipment Note shall bear interest, in the case of the Series G
Equipment Notes, at the Debt Rate for each Interest Period for such Series, and,
in the case of Series C Equipment Notes and Series D Equipment Notes, at the
Debt Rate specified for such Series (in the case of the Series G Equipment
Notes, calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed
during the period for which such amount accrues, and in the case of the Series C

11
Equipment Notes and the Series D Equipment Notes, calculated on the basis of a
year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months), payable in arrears on each
Payment Date on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time
outstanding until such principal amount is paid in full, as further provided in
the form of Equipment Note set forth in Section 2.01. Interest shall be payable
with respect to the first but not the last day of each Interest Period for the
Series G Equipment Notes. The principal amount of each Series G Equipment Note
and Series D Equipment Note shall be payable in installments on the Payment
Dates set forth in Schedule I to such Equipment Note, each such installment to
be in an amount computed by multiplying the original principal amount of such
Equipment Note by the corresponding percentage set forth in Schedule I hereto
applicable to such Series, the applicable portion of which shall be attached as
Schedule I to such Equipment Note, opposite the Payment Date on which such
installment is due. The principal amount of each Series C Equipment Note shall
be due in a single payment on September 23, 2007. The principal amount of each
New Series C Equipment Note, New Series D Equipment Note and Second New Series D
Equipment Note shall be payable as specified in the applicable Indenture
Refunding Amendment. Each Series E Equipment Note shall be payable in
installments or in a single payment as set forth in an amendment to this
Indenture, and if payable in installments, such installments shall be calculated
as set forth in the third preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
final payment made under each Series G Equipment Note, Series C Equipment Note
and Series D Equipment Note shall be in an amount sufficient to discharge in
full the unpaid principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on, and any
other amounts due under, such Equipment Note. Each Equipment Note shall bear
interest, payable on demand, at the Past Due Rate (and not at the Debt Rate) (in
the case of the Series G Equipment Notes , calculated on the basis of a year of
360 days and actual days elapsed during the period for which such amount
accrues, and in the case of the Series C Equipment Notes and the Series D
Equipment Notes calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of
twelve 30-day months) on any principal amount and (to the extent permitted by
applicable law), Break Amount, if any, Prepayment Premium, if any, Make Whole
Amount, if any, interest and any other amounts payable thereunder not paid when
due for any period during which the same shall be overdue, in each case for the
period the same is overdue. Amounts shall be overdue under an Equipment Note if
not paid in the manner provided therein or in this Indenture when due (whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, if any date on which a payment hereunder or under
any Equipment Note becomes due and payable is not a Business Day, then such
payment shall not be made on such scheduled date but shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and in the case of a Series G Equipment Note, such
extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest payable, and
in the case of the Series C Equipment Notes and the Series D Equipment Notes, if
such payment is made on such next succeeding Business Day, no interest shall
accrue on the amount of such payment from and after such scheduled date.
The Equipment Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the
manual or facsimile signature of one of its authorized officers. Equipment Notes
bearing the signatures of individuals who were at the time of execution the
proper officers of the Company shall bind the
12
Company, 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. No Equipment Note shall be secured by or entitled to any benefit under
this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purposes unless there appears
on such Equipment Note a certificate of authentication in the form provided
herein executed by the Loan Trustee by the manual signature of one of its
authorized officers, and such certificate upon any Equipment Notes shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Equipment Note has been
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.03. Method of Payment. The principal amount of, interest on,
Break Amount, if any, Prepayment Premium, if any, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
and, except to the extent expressly provided herein, all other amounts due to
any Noteholder under each Equipment Note or otherwise payable hereunder shall be
payable by the Company in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available
funds not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the due date of payment
to the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office for distribution among the
Noteholders in the manner provided herein. The Company shall not have any
responsibility for the distribution of such payment to any Noteholder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Equipment Note to the
contrary, the Loan Trustee will use reasonable efforts to pay or cause to be
paid, if so directed in writing by any Noteholder (with a copy to the Company),
all amounts paid by the Company hereunder and under such Noteholder's Equipment
Note or Equipment Notes to such Noteholder or a nominee therefor (including all
amounts distributed pursuant to Article III) by transferring, or causing to be
transferred, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars, prior
to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the due date of payment, to an account
maintained by such Noteholder with a bank located in the continental United
States the amount to be distributed to such Noteholder, for credit to the
account of such Noteholder maintained at such bank; provided that, in the event
the Equipment Notes are not held by the Subordination Agent on behalf of the
Pass Through Trustees, the Loan Trustee may at its option pay such amounts by
check mailed to the Noteholder's address as it appears on the Equipment Note
Register. If, after its receipt of funds at the place and prior to the time
specified above in the immediately preceding sentence, the Loan Trustee shall
fail (other than as a result of a failure of the Noteholder to provide it with
wire transfer instructions) to make any such payment required to be paid by wire
transfer as provided in the immediately preceding sentence on the Business Day
it receives such funds, the Loan Trustee, in its individual capacity and not as
trustee, agrees to compensate such Noteholders for loss of use of funds at the
Federal Funds Rate until such payment is made and the Loan Trustee 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 Loan Trustee for
cancellation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the
contrary, the Loan Trustee 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 Loan Trustee to do so in view of the time of day when the
funds to be so transferred were received by it if such funds
13
were received after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at the place of payment.
Section 2.04. Withholding Taxes. The Loan Trustee shall exclude and
withhold at the appropriate rate from each payment of principal amount of,
interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and other amounts due hereunder or under
each Equipment Note (which exclusion and withholding shall constitute payment of
such amounts payable hereunder or in respect of such Equipment Notes, as
applicable) any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by law.
The Loan Trustee agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection
therewith, whenever any present or future 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 (which withholding shall
constitute payment of such amounts payable hereunder or in respect of such
Equipment Notes, as applicable) and timely pay the same to the appropriate
authority in the name of and on behalf of the Noteholders, that it will file any
necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that as promptly
as possible after the payment thereof it will deliver to each Noteholder (with a
copy to the Company) appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof,
together with such additional documentary evidence as any such Noteholder may
reasonably request from time to time. The Loan Trustee agrees to file any other
information reports as it may be required to file under United States law.
Section 2.05. Application of Payments. Subject always to Section 2.13
and except as otherwise provided in Article III, in the case of each Equipment
Note, each payment of an installment of principal amount, Break Amount, if any,
Prepayment Premium, if any, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest or other
amounts due thereon shall be applied:
first, to the payment of accrued interest on such Equipment
Note (as well as any interest on any overdue principal amount and (to
the extent permitted by law) any overdue Break Amount, any overdue
Prepayment Premium, any overdue Make-Whole Amount, any overdue interest
and any other overdue amounts thereunder) to the date of such payment;
second, to the payment of any Break Amount, if any, Prepayment
Premium, if any, or Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such
Equipment Note;
third, to the payment of principal amount of such Equipment
Note (or portion thereof) then due and any other amount due hereunder
with respect to such Equipment Note; and
fourth, the balance, if any, remaining thereafter, to the
payment of the principal 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).
Section 2.06. Termination of Interest in Collateral. No Noteholder or
Indenture
14
Indemnitee shall, as such, have any further interest in, or other right with
respect to, the Collateral when and if the principal amount of, Break Amount, if
any, Prepayment Premium, if any, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest
(including interest on any overdue amounts) on and all other amounts due under
all Equipment Notes held by such Noteholder and all other sums then payable to
such Noteholder or Indenture Indemnitee, as the case may be, hereunder and under
the Participation Agreement and the other Operative Documents by the Company
(collectively, "Secured Obligations") shall have been paid in full.
Section 2.07. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Equipment Notes.
The Loan Trustee shall keep a register or registers (the "Equipment Note
Register") in which the Loan Trustee 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 Loan Trustee. The Loan Trustee 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 or transfer such Equipment Note shall surrender such Equipment Note to
the Loan Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, together with a written request
from the registered holder thereof for the issuance of a new Equipment Note of
the same Series, 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 and subject to satisfaction of Section 2.09, the
Company shall execute, and the Loan Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Equipment
Notes of a like aggregate principal amount and of the same Series. At the option
of the Noteholder, Equipment Notes may be exchanged for other Equipment Notes of
the same Series of any authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal
amount, upon surrender of the Equipment Notes to be exchanged to the Loan
Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any Equipment Notes are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Loan Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Equipment Notes which the Noteholder 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 or otherwise under this Indenture) shall be
the valid obligations of the Company evidencing the same respective obligations,
and entitled to the same security and benefits under this Indenture, as the
Equipment Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Equipment Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer,
shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Loan Trustee, duly executed by the Noteholder or such
Noteholder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Loan Trustee shall
require evidence satisfactory to it as to the compliance of any such transfer
with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the securities laws of any
applicable state or jurisdiction. The Loan Trustee shall make a notation on each
new Equipment Note of the amount of all payments of principal 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. Principal,
15
interest and all other amounts shall be deemed to have been paid on such new
Equipment Note to the date on which such amounts shall have been paid on such
old Equipment Note. The Company shall not be required to exchange any
surrendered Equipment Notes as provided above (a) during the ten-day period
preceding the due date of any payment on such Equipment Note or (b) that has
been called for redemption. The Company and the Loan Trustee shall in all cases
deem and treat the Person in whose name any Equipment Note shall have been
issued and registered on the Equipment Note Register as the absolute owner and
Noteholder 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 neither the Company nor the Loan Trustee shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary. The Loan Trustee will promptly notify the Company of each
registration of a transfer of an Equipment Note. Any such transferee of an
Equipment Note, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, agrees to the provisions
of the Operative Documents applicable to Noteholders, and shall be deemed to
have represented, warranted and covenanted to the parties to the Participation
Agreement as to the matters represented, warranted and covenanted by the
Noteholders, including the Pass Through Trustees, in the Participation
Agreement. Subject to compliance by the Noteholder and its transferee (if any)
of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.07 and in Section 2.09, the Loan
Trustee and the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment
Notes upon transfer or exchange within ten 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 becomes mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company
shall, upon the written request of the holder of such Equipment Note and subject
to satisfaction of this Section 2.08 and of Section 2.09, execute and the Loan
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in replacement thereof a new Equipment
Note of the same Series, payable in the same principal 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 Loan Trustee, and a photocopy thereof shall be furnished to
the Company. If the Equipment Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or
stolen, the holder of such Equipment Note shall furnish to the Company and the
Loan Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the
Company and the Loan Trustee harmless and evidence satisfactory to the Company
and the Loan Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Equipment Note
and of the ownership thereof.
Section 2.09. Payment of Expenses on Transfer; Cancellation.
(a) No service charge shall be made to a Noteholder for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes, but the Loan Trustee,
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 Loan Trustee shall cancel all Equipment Notes surrendered for
replacement,
16
redemption, transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall destroy the
canceled Equipment Notes.
Section 2.10. Mandatory Redemption of Equipment Notes. The Company
shall redeem the Equipment Notes in whole in connection with an Event of Loss in
respect of the Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines installed thereon
(unless the Company shall have performed the option set forth in Section
7.05(a)(i) with respect thereto) on or before the Loss Payment Date at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount thereof, together
with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of

Notes, Break Amount, if any, and Prepayment Premium, if any, and in the case of
the Series C and Series D Equipment Notes, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and all
other amounts payable hereunder or under the Participation Agreement to the
Noteholders; provided, however, that, except in connection with a Refunding as
referred to in paragraph (b) below, the Series C Equipment Notes may not be
redeemed unless the Series G Equipment Notes have been redeemed, and the Series
D Equipment Notes may not be redeemed unless the Series G Equipment Notes and
Series C Equipment Notes have been redeemed. Any notice shall become irrevocable
three days before the redemption date if not previously revoked.
(b) In connection with a Refunding as provided in Exhibit A to the
Intercreditor Agreement, (i) all, but not less than all, of the Original Series

Trustee at a redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount of
the Equipment Notes being redeemed, together with accrued interest thereon to
(but excluding) the date of redemption and all other amounts payable hereunder
or under the Participation Agreement to the applicable Noteholders. All
redemptions pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be subject to the Company
complying with the conditions set forth on Exhibit A to the Intercreditor
Agreement, and the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a
Responsible Officer of the Company that all such conditions have been complied
with prior to or on the redemption date. The Loan Trustee agrees to cooperate
with the Company at the Company's reasonable request to carry out any Refunding
on the terms and conditions specified in Exhibit A to the Intercreditor
Agreement.
17
Section 2.12. Redemptions; Notice of Redemptions; Repurchases.
(a) No redemption of any Equipment Note may be made except to the
extent and in the manner expressly permitted by this Indenture.
(b) Notice of redemption pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.11(a)
shall be given by the Loan Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed
not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the applicable redemption date,
to each Noteholder at such Noteholder's address appearing in the Equipment Note
Register. All such notices of redemption shall state: (1) the redemption date,
(2) the applicable basis for determining the redemption price, (3) that on the
redemption date, the redemption price will become due and payable upon each such
Equipment Note, and that, if any such Equipment Notes are then outstanding,
interest on such Equipment Notes shall cease to accrue on and after such

available funds the redemption price of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed.
(d) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid (and, if
applicable, not revoked as permitted by Section 2.11(a)) (and, in case of a
redemption pursuant to Section 2.11(b), the conditions set forth in Exhibit A to
the Intercreditor Agreement having been satisfied), the Equipment Notes to be
redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Loan Trustee, and from and after such redemption date
(unless there shall be a default in the deposit of the redemption price pursuant
to Section 2.12(c)) any such Equipment Notes then outstanding shall cease to
bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Equipment Note for redemption in
accordance with said notice, such Equipment Note shall be redeemed at the
redemption price.
(e) At such time as no Pass Through Certificates are outstanding, the
Company may at any time repurchase any of the Equipment Notes at any price in
the open market and may hold, resell or surrender such Equipment Notes to the
Loan Trustee for cancellation.
Section 2.13. Subordination.
(a) The indebtedness evidenced by the Series C Equipment Notes is, to
the extent and in the manner provided in this Indenture, subordinate and subject
in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Secured Obligations in
respect of the Series G Equipment Notes, and the Series C Equipment Notes are
issued subject to such provisions. The indebtedness evidenced by the Series D

unstayed or unterminated for a period of 90 days;
provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 4.01, any failure of the Company to perform or observe

Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall, do one or more of the following to the
extent permitted by, and subject to compliance with the requirements of,
applicable law then in effect (provided, however, that during any period the
Aircraft is subject to the CRAF Program and is in possession of or being
operated under the direction of the United States government or an agency or
instrumentality of the United States, the Loan Trustee shall not, on account of
any Event of Default, be entitled to exercise or pursue any of the powers,
rights or remedies described in this Section 4.02 in such manner as to limit the
Company's control under this Indenture (or any Permitted Lessee's control under
any Lease) of the Airframe or any Engines installed thereon, unless at least 60
days' (or such lesser period as may then be applicable under the Military
Airlift Command Program of the United States government) prior written notice of
default hereunder shall have been given by the Loan Trustee by registered or
certified mail to the Company (and any such Permitted Lessee) with a copy
addressed to the Contracting Office Representative or other appropriate person
for the Military Airlift Command of the United States Air Force under any
contract with the Company relating to the Aircraft):
(i) declare by written notice to the Company all the Equipment
Notes to be due and payable, whereupon the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with accrued but
unpaid interest thereon, Break Amount (in the case of the Series G
Equipment Notes) and all other amounts due thereunder (but for the
avoidance of doubt, without Make-Whole Amount or Prepayment Premium) shall
immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or
notice, all of which are hereby waived; provided that if an Event of
Default referred to in Subsections 4.01(f), (g), (h) or (i) shall have
occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case the unpaid
principal amount then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid
interest thereon, Break Amount (in the case of the Series G Equipment
Notes) and all other amounts due thereunder (but for the avoidance of
doubt, without Make-Whole Amount or Prepayment Premium) shall immediately
and without further act become due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived; and, following
such declaration or deemed declaration:
(ii) (A) cause the Company, upon the written demand of the Loan
Trustee, at the Company's expense, to deliver promptly, and the Company
shall deliver promptly, all or such part of the Airframe or any Engine as
the Loan Trustee may so demand to the Loan Trustee or its order, or, if
the Company shall have failed to so deliver the Airframe or any Engine
after such demand, the Loan Trustee, at its option, may enter upon the
premises where all or any part of the Airframe or any Engine are located
and take immediate possession of and remove the same together with any
engine which is not an
30
Engine but which is installed on the Airframe, subject to all of the
rights of the owner, lessor, lienor or secured party of such engine;
provided that the Airframe with an engine (which is not an Engine)
installed thereon may be flown or returned only to a location within the
continental United States, and such engine shall be held for the account
of any such owner, lessor, lienor, secured party or, if such engine is
owned by the Company, may at the option of the Company with the consent of
the Loan Trustee (which will not be unreasonably withheld) or at the
option of the Loan Trustee with the consent of the Company (which will not
be unreasonably withheld), be exchanged with the Company for an Engine in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.05(b); (B) sell all or any
part of the Airframe and any Engine at public or private sale, whether or
not the Loan Trustee shall at the time have possession thereof, as the
Loan Trustee may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate,
lease to others or keep idle all or any part of the Airframe or such
Engine as the Loan Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine, all
free and clear of any rights or claims of the Company, and the proceeds of
such sale or disposition shall be applied as set forth in Section 3.04; or
(C) exercise any other remedy of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of New York (whether or not in effect in the
jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought).
Upon every such taking of possession of Collateral under this Section
4.02, the Loan Trustee may, from time to time, at the expense of the Collateral,
make all such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, alterations,
additions and improvements to and of the Collateral as it may deem proper. In
each such case, the Loan Trustee shall have the right to maintain, use, operate,
store, lease, control or manage the Collateral and to exercise all rights and
powers of the Company relating to the Collateral as the Loan Trustee shall
reasonably deem best, including the right to enter into any and all such
agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, operation, storage, leasing,
control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof as the
Loan Trustee may reasonably determine; and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to
collect and receive directly all tolls, rents, revenues, issues, income,
products and profits of the Collateral and every part thereof. Such tolls,
rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be applied to pay
the expenses of the use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or
disposition of the Collateral, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements,
alterations, additions and improvements, and to make all payments that the Loan
Trustee may be required or may elect to make, if any, for Taxes, insurance or
other proper charges assessed against or otherwise imposed upon the Collateral
or any part thereof, and all other payments which the Loan Trustee may be
required or expressly authorized to make under any provision of this Indenture,
as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Loan
Trustee, and shall otherwise be applied in accordance with Article III.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the
Equipment Notes shall either have been accelerated pursuant to this Section 4.02
or have become due at maturity and the Loan Trustee shall be entitled to
exercise rights hereunder, at the request of the Loan Trustee, the Company shall
promptly execute and deliver to the Loan Trustee such instruments
31
of title and other documents as the Loan Trustee may reasonably deem necessary
or advisable to enable the Loan Trustee or an agent or representative designated
by the Loan Trustee, at such time or times and place or places as the Loan
Trustee may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral
to which the Loan Trustee shall at the time be entitled hereunder. If the
Company shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and
documents after such request by the Loan Trustee, the Loan Trustee may obtain a
judgment conferring on the Loan Trustee the right to immediate possession and
requiring the Company to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to
the Loan Trustee, to the entry of which judgment the Company hereby specifically
consents to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so.
(b) The Loan Trustee shall give the Company at least 30 days' prior
written notice of any public sale or of the date on or after which any private
sale will be held, which notice the Company hereby agrees to the extent
permitted by applicable law is reasonable notice. Any Noteholder or Noteholders
shall be entitled to bid for and become the purchaser of any Collateral offered
for sale pursuant to this Section 4.02 and to credit against the purchase price
bid at such sale by such Noteholders all or any part of the unpaid amounts owing
to such Noteholders under the Operative Documents and secured by the Lien of
this Indenture (but only to the extent that such purchase price would have been
paid to such Noteholders pursuant to Article III if such purchase price were
paid in cash and the foregoing provision of this Section 4.02(b) were not given
effect). The Loan Trustee may exercise such right without possession or
production of the Equipment Notes or proof of ownership thereof, and as a
representative of the Noteholders may exercise such right without notice to the
Noteholders as parties to any suit or proceeding relating to the foreclosure of
any Collateral. The Company shall also be entitled to bid for and become the
purchaser of any Collateral offered for sale pursuant to this Section 4.02.
(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably
appoints, while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Loan
Trustee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Company (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 Indenture, whether pursuant to foreclosure or
power of sale, or otherwise, to execute and deliver all such bills of sale,
assignments and other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate, with full
power of substitution, the Company hereby ratifying and confirming all that such
attorney or any substitute shall do by virtue hereof in accordance with
applicable law; provided that if so requested by the Loan Trustee or any
purchaser, the Company shall ratify and confirm any such sale, assignment or
transfer of delivery, by executing and delivering to the Loan Trustee or such
purchaser all bills of sale, assignments, releases and other proper instruments
to effect such ratification and confirmation as may be designated in any such
request.
(d) At any time after the Loan Trustee has declared the unpaid principal
amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding to be due and payable and prior
to the sale of any part of the Collateral pursuant to this Article IV, a
Majority in Interest of Noteholders, by written notice to
32
the Company and the Loan Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if: (i) there has been paid to or deposited with the Loan Trustee
an amount sufficient to pay all overdue installments of principal amount of, and
interest on, the Equipment Notes, and all other amounts owing under the
Operative Documents, that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and (ii) all other Events of Default, other than nonpayment of
principal amount or interest on the Equipment Notes that have become due solely
because of such acceleration, have been cured or waived.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, so long as the Pass
Through Trustee under any Pass Through Trust Agreement or the Subordination
Agent on its behalf is a Noteholder, the Loan Trustee 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
Pass Through Trust to fail to qualify as a "grantor trust" for federal income
tax purposes.
Section 4.03. Remedies Cumulative. To the extent permitted under
applicable law, each and every right, power and remedy specifically given to the
Loan Trustee herein or otherwise in this Indenture shall be cumulative and shall
be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given herein
or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every
right, power and remedy whether specifically given herein or otherwise existing
may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be
deemed expedient by the Loan Trustee, 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 Loan Trustee in the exercise of any right,
remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be
a waiver of any default on the part of the Company or to be an acquiescence
therein.
Section 4.04. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Loan Trustee
shall have instituted any proceedings to enforce any right, power or remedy
under this 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 Loan Trustee, then and in every such case the
Company and the Loan Trustee 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 Loan
Trustee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been undertaken (but
otherwise without prejudice).
Section 4.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. Upon written instruction from a
Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee 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 the Operative Documents, but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereon; provided, however, that in the absence of written
instructions from
33
each of the affected Noteholders, the Loan Trustee shall not waive any default
(i) in the payment of the principal amount, Break Amount, if any, Prepayment
Premium, if any, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest due under any Equipment
Note then outstanding (other than with the consent of the holder thereof), or
(ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Article IX,
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each such affected
Noteholder.
Section 4.06. Noteholders May Not Bring Suit Except Under Certain
Conditions. A Noteholder of any Series shall not have the right to institute any
suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity or otherwise with respect to this
Indenture for the appointment of a receiver or for the enforcement of any other
remedy under this Indenture, unless:
(1) such Noteholder previously shall have given written notice to
the Loan Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
(2) A Majority in Interest of Noteholders shall have requested the
Loan Trustee in writing to institute such action, suit or proceeding and
shall have offered to the Loan Trustee indemnity as provided in Section
5.03;
(3) the Loan Trustee shall have refused or neglected to institute
any such action, suit or proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity; and
(4) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have
been given to the Loan Trustee during such 60-day period by a Majority in
Interest of Noteholders.
Except to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement or in any
Indenture Supplement, it is understood and intended that no one or more of the
Noteholders of any Series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever
hereunder or under the Indenture Supplement or under the Equipment Notes of such
Series to (i) surrender, impair, waive, affect, disturb or prejudice any
Collateral, or the Lien of the Indenture on any Collateral, or the rights of the
Noteholders of such Series, (ii) obtain or seek to obtain priority over or
preference with respect to any other such Noteholder of such Series or (iii)
enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner provided in this
Indenture and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all the Noteholders
of such Series subject to the provisions of this Indenture.
ARTICLE V
DUTIES OF THE LOAN TRUSTEE
Section 5.01. Notice of Event of Default. If the Loan Trustee shall have
knowledge of an Event of Default or of a default arising from a failure by the
Company to pay when due any payment of principal amount of, interest on, or
Break Amount, Prepayment Premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to,
any Equipment Note, the Loan Trustee shall
34
promptly give notice thereof to the Company and each Noteholder by telegram,
cable, facsimile or telephone (to be promptly confirmed in writing); provided,
however, that except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal
amount, interest or Break Amount, Prepayment Premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any, due and payable under any Equipment Note, the Loan Trustee shall be
protected in withholding the notice to the Noteholders required in the foregoing
part of this sentence if and so long as the executive committee or trust
committee of directors of the Loan Trustee and/or trust officers thereof in good
faith determine that withholding such notice is in the interest of the
Noteholders. Subject to the terms of Sections 4.02, 4.05, 5.02 and 5.03, the
Loan Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Event of Default (including with respect to the exercise of any
rights or remedies hereunder) as the Loan Trustee shall be instructed in writing
by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Section
5.03, if the Loan Trustee shall not have received instructions as above provided
within 20 Business Days after giving notice of such Event of Default to the
Noteholders, the Loan Trustee may, subject to instructions thereafter received
pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 5.01, 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 as it shall
reasonably determine to be advisable in the best interests of the Noteholders
and shall use the same degree of care and skill in connection therewith as a
prudent person would use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her
own affairs; provided that the Loan Trustee may not sell the Airframe or any
Engine without the consent of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders.
For all purposes of this Indenture, in the absence of actual knowledge,
the Loan Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a default or an Event
of Default unless notified in writing by the Company or one or more Noteholders;
and "actual knowledge" (as used in the foregoing clause) of the Loan Trustee
shall mean actual knowledge of an officer in the Corporate Trust Division of the
Loan Trustee; provided, however, that the Loan Trustee shall be deemed to have
actual knowledge of (i) the failure of the Company to pay any principal amount
of, or interest on, the Equipment Notes directly to the Loan Trustee when the
same shall become due or (ii) the failure of the Company to maintain insurance
as required under Section 7.06 if the Loan Trustee receives written notice
thereof from an insurer or insurance broker.
Section 5.02. Action upon Instructions; Certain Rights and Limitations.
Subject to the terms of Article IV and this Article V, upon the written
instructions at any time of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan
Trustee shall promptly (i) give such notice, direction, consent, waiver or
approval or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder in respect of all or
any part of the Collateral or (ii) take such other action, as shall be specified
in such instructions.
The Loan Trustee will cooperate with the Company in connection with the
recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of the Indenture and any
supplements to it and any financing statements or other documents as is
necessary to maintain the perfection hereof or otherwise protect the security
interests created hereby. The Loan Trustee shall furnish to the Company
35
upon request such information and copies of such documents as the Loan Trustee
may have and as are necessary for the Company to perform its duties under
Article II hereof.
Section 5.03. Indemnification. The Loan Trustee shall not be required to
take any action or refrain from taking any action under Sections 5.01 (other
than the first sentence thereof) or 5.02 or Article IV unless it shall have
received indemnification against any risks incurred in connection therewith in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it, including, without limitation,
adequate advances against costs that may be incurred by it in connection
therewith. The Loan Trustee shall not be required to take any action under
Section 5.01 (other than the first sentence thereof) or 5.02 or Article IV, nor
shall any other provision of any Operative Document be deemed to impose a duty
on the Loan Trustee to take any action, if the Loan Trustee shall have been
advised by outside counsel that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or
is otherwise contrary to law.
Section 5.04. No Duties Except as Specified in Indenture or Instructions.
The Loan Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, control,
lease, use, sell, operate, store, 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 Indenture, except as expressly
provided by the terms of this Indenture or the Participation Agreement or as
expressly provided in written instructions received pursuant to the terms of
Section 5.01 or 5.02; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into
this Indenture against the Loan Trustee.
Section 5.05. No Action Except under Indenture or Instructions. The Loan
Trustee agrees that it will not manage, control, use, sell, lease, operate,
store, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the
Collateral except in accordance with the powers granted to, or the authority
conferred upon, the Loan Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and in accordance
with the express terms hereof.
Section 5.06. Investment of Amounts Held by the Loan Trustee. Any monies
(including for the purpose of this Section 5.06 any cash deposited with the Loan
Trustee by the Company, any cash received by the Loan Trustee pursuant to
Sections 7.05(c) or 7.06(d) or otherwise) or Permitted Investments purchased by
the use of such cash pursuant to this Section 5.06 or any cash constituting the
proceeds of the maturity, sale or other disposition of any Permitted
Investments) held by the Loan Trustee hereunder as part of the Collateral, until
paid out by the Loan Trustee as herein provided, (i) subject to clause (ii)
below, may be carried by the Loan Trustee on deposit with itself or on deposit
to its account with any bank, trust company or national banking association
incorporated or doing business under the laws of the United States or one of the
states thereof having combined capital and surplus and retained earnings of at
least $75,000,000, and the Loan Trustee shall not have any liability for
interest upon any such monies except as otherwise agreed in writing with the
Company, or (ii) at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the request of the Company,
shall be invested and reinvested in Permitted Investments as specified in such
request (if such investments are reasonably available for purchase) and sold, in
any case at such prices,
36
including accrued interest or its equivalent, as are set forth in such request,
and such Permitted Investments shall be held by the Loan Trustee in trust as
part of the Collateral until so sold; provided that the Company shall upon
demand pay to the Loan Trustee the amount of any loss realized upon maturity,
sale or other disposition of any such Permitted Investment and, so long as no
Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Company shall be entitled to receive from the Loan Trustee, and the Loan Trustee
shall promptly pay to the Company, any profit, income, interest, dividend or
gain realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of any Permitted
Investment. If an Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, any net income, profit, interest, dividend or gain realized upon
maturity, sale or other disposition of any Permitted Investment shall be held as
part of the Collateral and shall be applied by the Loan Trustee at the same
time, on the same conditions and in the same manner as the amounts in respect of
which such income, profit, interest, dividend or gain was realized are required
to be distributed in accordance with the provisions hereof pursuant to which
such amounts were required to be held. The Loan Trustee shall not be responsible
for any losses on any investments or sales of Permitted Investments made
pursuant to the procedure specified in this Section 5.06 other than by reason of
its willful misconduct or negligence. If any moneys or investments are held by
the Loan Trustee solely because an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and such moneys or investments have been held for a period of 90
consecutive days during which such Event of Default is continuing without any
remedial action being taken by the Loan Trustee in respect of such Event of
Default pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, and provided that there is no stay,
moratorium or injunction in effect preventing the taking of such action, then,
notwithstanding any other provision of the Operative Documents, all such moneys
and investments held by the Loan Trustee shall be released to the Company on
such 90th day, or as soon thereafter as practicable.

legality or enforceability of any Operative Document or any other document or
instrument, or as to the correctness of any statement (other than a statement by
the Loan Trustee) contained herein or therein, except that the Loan Trustee
hereby represents and warrants that each of said specified documents to which it

agent of the Loan Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any
moneys received by it hereunder; provided, however, that any payments received,
or applied hereunder, by the Loan Trustee shall be accounted for by the Loan
Trustee so that any portion thereof paid or applied pursuant hereto shall be
identifiable as to the source thereof.
Section 6.05. Reliance; Agents; Advice of Counsel. The Loan Trustee 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 reasonably believed by it to be genuine and
reasonably believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Loan
Trustee may accept a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of any party
to the Participation Agreement, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary of such party as duly adopted and in full force and effect, as
conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted and that the same

ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Loan Trustee
may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by a duly authorized
officer of the Company, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall
constitute full protection to the Loan Trustee for any action taken or omitted
to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon. In the administration of
the trusts hereunder, the Loan Trustee may, with the consent of the Company
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (a) execute any of the trusts or
powers hereof and perform its powers and duties hereunder directly or through
agents (including paying agents or registrars) or attorneys, and (b) at the

Persons to be selected and retained by it. The Loan Trustee shall

not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in

skilled Persons acting within such counsel's, accountants' or Person's area of
competence (so long as the Loan Trustee shall have exercised reasonable care and
judgment in selecting such Persons).
Section 6.06. Instructions from Noteholders. In the administration of the
trusts created hereunder, the Loan Trustee shall have the right to seek
instructions from a Majority in Interest of Noteholders should any provision of
this Indenture appear to conflict with any other provision herein or any other
Operative Document or Pass Through Document or should the Loan Trustee's duties
or obligations hereunder be unclear, and the Loan Trustee shall incur no
liability in refraining from acting until it receives such instructions. The
Loan Trustee shall be fully protected for acting in accordance with any
instructions received under this Section 6.06.
ARTICLE VII

interchange agreements or pooling or similar arrangements that would be
permitted under clause (i) above;
(vi) install an Engine on an airframe leased to the Company (or
any Permitted Lessee) or purchased or owned by the Company (or any

except (1) the rights of the parties to the lease or conditional sale or
other security agreement covering such airframe, or their successors and
assigns, and (2) Liens of the type permitted by clause (v) of this Section
7.02(a) and (B) either (1) the Company shall have obtained from the lessor
or secured party of such airframe a written agreement (which may be the
lease, conditional sale or other security agreement covering such
airframe), in form and substance satisfactory to the Loan Trustee (it
being understood that an agreement from such lessor or secured party
substantially in the form of the final sentence of the penultimate
paragraph of this Section 7.02(a) shall be deemed to be satisfactory to
the Loan Trustee), whereby such lessor or secured party expressly agrees
that neither it nor its successors or assigns will acquire or claim any
right, title or interest in any Engine by reason of such Engine being
installed on such airframe at any time while such Engine is subject to the
Lien of this Indenture or (2) such lease, conditional sale or other

notwithstanding the installation
41
thereof on such airframe;

Permitted Lessee), leased to the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) or

provided that such installation shall be deemed an Event of Loss with
respect to such Engine, and the Company shall comply with Section 7.05(b)
in respect thereof, if such installation shall adversely affect the Loan

hereby to waive any right or interest it may have to or in such Engine
under applicable law until compliance by the Company with Section 7.05(b);
(viii) lease any Engine or the Airframe and Engines to any United
States air carrier as to which there is in force a certificate issued
pursuant to the Transportation Code (49 U.S.C. Sections 41101-41112)
or successor provision that gives like authority; and
(ix) lease any Engine or the Airframe and Engines to (A) any
foreign air carrier other than those set forth in clause (B), (B) any
foreign air carrier that is at the inception of the lease based in and a
domiciliary of a country listed in Exhibit B hereto and (C) any foreign
air carrier consented to in writing by the Loan Trustee with the consent
of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders; provided that (x) in the case of
a lease to a foreign air carrier under clause (A) above, the Loan Trustee
receives at the time of such lease (1) written confirmation from each of
the Rating Agencies that such lease would not result in a reduction of the
rating for any class of Pass Through Certificates below the then current
rating for such class of Pass Through Certificates or a withdrawal or
suspension of the rating of any class of Pass Through Certificates and (2)
an opinion of counsel to the Company (such counsel to be reasonably
satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) to the effect that there exist no
possessory rights in favor of the lessee under the laws of such lessee's
country which would, upon bankruptcy or insolvency of or other default by
the Company and assuming at such time such lessee is not insolvent or
bankrupt, prevent the taking of possession of any such Engine or the
Airframe and any such Engine by the Loan Trustee in accordance with and
when permitted by the terms of Section 4.02 upon the exercise by the Loan
Trustee of its remedies under Section 4.02, (y) in the case of a lease to
any foreign air carrier (other than a foreign air carrier principally
based in Taiwan), the United States maintains diplomatic relations with
the country in which such foreign air carrier is based at the time such
lease is entered into and (z) in the case of any lease to a foreign air
carrier, such carrier is not then subject to any bankruptcy, insolvency,
liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or similar proceeding and shall
not have substantially all of its property in the possession of any
liquidator, trustee, receiver or similar person;
provided that the rights of any lessee or other transferee who receives
possession of the Aircraft,
42
the Airframe or any Engine by reason of a transfer permitted by this Section
7.02(a) (other than the transfer of an Engine which is deemed an Event of Loss)
shall be subject and subordinate to, and any permitted lease shall be made
expressly subject and subordinate to, all the terms of this Indenture, including
the Loan Trustee's rights to repossess pursuant to Section 4.02 and to avoid
such lease upon such repossession, and the Company shall remain primarily liable
hereunder for the performance and observance of all of the terms and conditions
of this Indenture to the same extent as if such lease or transfer had not
occurred, any such lease shall include appropriate provisions for the
maintenance and insurance of the Aircraft, the Airframe or such Engine, and no
lease or transfer or possession otherwise in compliance with this Section shall
(x) result in any registration or re-registration of the Aircraft except to the
extent permitted in Section 7.02(e) or the maintenance, operation or use thereof
that does not comply with Section 7.02(b) and (c) or (y) permit any action not
permitted to be taken by the Company with respect to the Aircraft hereunder. The
Company shall promptly notify the Loan Trustee and the Rating Agencies of the
existence of any such lease with a term in excess of one year.
The Loan Trustee, and each Noteholder by acceptance of an Equipment Note,
agrees, for the benefit of the lessor or secured party of any airframe or engine
leased to the Company (or any Permitted Lessee) or purchased or owned by the
Company (or any Permitted Lessee) subject to a conditional sale or other
security agreement, that the Loan Trustee and the Noteholders will not acquire
or claim, as against such lessor or secured party, any right, title or interest
in (A) any engine or engines owned by the lessor under such lease or subject to
a security interest in favor of the secured party under such conditional sale or
other security agreement as the result of such engine or engines being installed
on the Airframe at any time while such engine or engines are subject to such
lease or conditional sale or other security agreement or (B) any airframe owned
by the lessor under such lease or subject to a security interest in favor of the
secured party under such conditional sale or other security agreement as the
result of any Engine being installed on such airframe at any time while such
airframe is subject to such lease or conditional sale or other security
agreement.
The Loan Trustee acknowledges that any "wet lease" or other similar
arrangement under which the Company maintains operational control of the
Aircraft shall not constitute a delivery, transfer or relinquishment of
possession for purposes of this Section 7.02(a).
(b) Operation and Use. The Company agrees that the Aircraft will not be
maintained, used or operated in violation of any law, rule or regulation of any
government of any country having jurisdiction over the Aircraft or in violation
of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration relating to the
Aircraft issued by any such government, except to the extent the Company is
contesting in good faith the validity or application of any such law, rule or
regulation in any manner that does not involve any material risk of sale,
forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or materially impair the Lien of this
Indenture; and provided, that the Company shall not be in default under, or
required to take any action set forth in, this sentence if it is not possible
for it to comply with the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States
(or other than any
43
jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is then registered) because of a conflict
with the applicable laws of the United States (or such jurisdiction in which the
Aircraft is then registered). The Company will not operate the Aircraft, or
permit the Aircraft to be operated or located, (i) in any area excluded from
coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 7.06 or (ii) in any
war zone or recognized or, in the Company's judgment, threatened areas of
hostilities unless covered by war risk insurance in accordance with Section
7.06, unless in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), (x) indemnification
complying with Section 7.06(a) and (b) has been provided or (y) the Aircraft is
only temporarily located in such area as a result of an isolated occurrence or
isolated series of occurrences attributable to a hijacking, medical emergency,
equipment malfunction, weather conditions, navigational error or other similar
unforeseen circumstances and the Company is using its good faith efforts to
remove the Aircraft from such area as promptly as practicable.
(c) Maintenance. The Company shall maintain, service, repair and
overhaul the Aircraft (or cause the same to be done) so as to keep the Aircraft
in good operating condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in such
condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of the
Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times (other than during
temporary periods of storage, during maintenance or modification permitted
hereunder, or during periods of grounding by applicable governmental
authorities) under the Transportation Code, during such periods in which the
Aircraft is registered under the laws of the United States, or, if the Aircraft
is registered under the laws of any other jurisdiction, the applicable laws of
such jurisdiction. In any case the Aircraft will be maintained in accordance
with the maintenance standards required by or substantially equivalent to those
required by the FAA or the central aviation authority of Australia, Austria,
Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the
Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland or the United
Kingdom. The Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained all records, logs
and other documents required to be maintained in respect of the Aircraft by
appropriate authorities in the jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is registered.
(d) Identification of Loan Trustee's Interest. The Company agrees to
affix as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date and thereafter to
maintain in the cockpit of the Aircraft, in a clearly visible location, and (if
not prevented by applicable law or regulations or by any government) on each
Engine, a nameplate bearing the inscription "MORTGAGED TO STATE STREET BANK AND
TRUST COMPANY OF CONNECTICUT, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS LOAN TRUSTEE" (such
nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of
any successor Loan Trustee).
(e) Registration. The Company shall cause the Aircraft to remain duly
registered, under the laws of the United States, in the name of the Company
except as otherwise required by the Transportation Code; provided that the Loan
Trustee shall, at the Company's expense, execute and deliver all such documents
as the Company may reasonably request for the purpose of continuing such
registration. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company, at its
44
own expense, may cause or allow the Aircraft to be duly registered under the
laws of any foreign jurisdiction in which a Permitted Lessee could be
principally based, in the name of the Company or of any nominee of the Company,
or, if required by applicable law, in the name of any other Person (and,
following any such foreign registration, may cause the Aircraft to be
re-registered under the laws of the United States); provided, that in the case
of jurisdictions other than those approved by the Loan Trustee with the consent
of a Majority in Interest of the Noteholders (i) if such jurisdiction is at the
time of registration listed on Exhibit B, the Loan Trustee shall have received
at the time of such registration an opinion of counsel to the Company to the
effect that (A) this Indenture and the Loan Trustee's right to repossession
thereunder is valid and enforceable under the laws of such country, (B) after
giving effect to such change in registration, the Lien of this Indenture shall
continue as a valid Lien and shall be duly perfected in the new jurisdiction of
registration and that all filing, recording or other action necessary to perfect
and protect the Lien of this Indenture has been accomplished (or if such opinion
cannot be given at such time, (x) the opinion shall detail what filing,
recording or other action is necessary and (y) the Loan Trustee shall have
received a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Company that all
possible preparations to accomplish such filing, recording and other action
shall have been done, and such filing, recording and other action shall be
accomplished and a supplemental opinion to that effect shall be promptly
delivered to the Loan Trustee subsequent to the effective date of such change in
registration), (C) the obligations of the Company under this Indenture shall
remain valid, binding and (subject to customary bankruptcy and equitable
remedies exceptions and to other exceptions customary in foreign opinions
generally) enforceable under the laws of such jurisdiction (or the laws of the
jurisdiction to which the laws of such jurisdiction would refer as the
applicable governing law) and (D) all approvals or consents of any government in
such jurisdiction having jurisdiction required for such change in registration
shall have been duly obtained and shall be in full force and effect, and (ii) if
such jurisdiction is at the time of registration not listed on Exhibit B, the
Loan Trustee shall have received (in addition to the opinions set forth in
clause (i) above) at the time of such registration an opinion of counsel to the
Company to the effect that (A) the terms of this Indenture are legal, valid,
binding and enforceable in such jurisdiction (subject to exceptions customary in
such jurisdiction, provided, that, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally, and to general principles of equity, any applicable laws limiting the
remedies provided in Section 4.02 do not in the opinion of such counsel make the
remedies provided in Section 4.02 inadequate for the practical realization of
the rights and benefits provided thereby), (B) that it is not necessary for the
Loan Trustee to register or qualify to do business in such jurisdiction, (C)
that there is no tort liability of the lender of an aircraft not in possession
thereof under the laws of such jurisdiction other than tort liability that might
have been imposed on such lender under the laws of the United States or any
state thereof (it being understood that such opinion shall be waived if
insurance reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee is provided, at the
Company's expense, to cover such risk) and (D) (unless the Company shall have
agreed to provide insurance covering the risk of requisition of use or title of
the Aircraft by the government of such jurisdiction so long as the Aircraft is
registered under the laws of such jurisdiction) that the laws of such
jurisdiction require fair compensation by the
45
government of such jurisdiction payable in currency freely convertible into
Dollars for the loss of use or title of the Aircraft in the event of requisition
by such government of such use or title. The Loan Trustee will cooperate with
the Company in effecting such foreign registration. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, prior to any such change in the country of registry of the Aircraft,
the following conditions shall be met (or waived as provided in Section 6.01(b)
of the Participation Agreement):
(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at
the effective date of the change in registration; provided, that it shall
not be necessary to comply with this condition if the change in
registration results in the registration of the Aircraft under the laws of
the United States or if a Majority in Interest of Noteholders consents to
such change in registration;
(ii) the Loan Trustee shall have received evidence of compliance
with the insurance provisions contained herein after giving effect to such
change in registration; and
(iii) the Company shall have paid or made provision reasonably
satisfactory to the Loan Trustee for the payment of all reasonable
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of the Loan Trustee and
the Noteholders in connection with such change in registration.
Section 7.03. Inspection; Financial Information.
(a) Inspection. At all reasonable times, but upon at least 15 Business
Days' prior written notice to the Company, the Loan Trustee or its authorized
representative may, subject to the other conditions of this Section 7.03(a),
inspect the Aircraft and may inspect the books and records of the Company
required to be maintained by the FAA or the government of another jurisdiction
in which the Aircraft is then registered relating to the maintenance of the
Aircraft, and upon any such inspection by the Loan Trustee or its authorized
representative of such books and records, the Policy Provider or its authorized
representative may also inspect and make copies (at the Policy Provider's
expense) of such books and records; provided that (i) such Loan Trustee or its
representative, or the Policy Provider or its representative, as the case may
be, shall be fully insured at no cost to the Company in a manner satisfactory to
the Company with respect to any risks incurred in connection with any such
inspection or shall provide to the Company a written release satisfactory to the
Company with respect to such risks, (ii) any such inspection shall be subject to
the safety, security and workplace rules applicable at the location where such
inspection is conducted and any applicable governmental rules or regulations,
(iii) any such inspection of the Aircraft shall be a visual, walk-around
inspection of the interior and exterior of the Aircraft and shall not include
opening any panels, bays or the like without the Company's express consent,
which consent the Company may in its sole discretion withhold, and (iv) no
exercise of such inspection right shall interfere with the use, operation or
maintenance of the Aircraft by, or the business of, the Company and the Company
shall not be required to undertake
46
or incur any additional liabilities in connection therewith. All information
obtained in connection with any such inspection of the Aircraft and of such
books and records shall be Confidential Information and shall be treated by the
Loan Trustee, the Policy Provider, if applicable, and representatives in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.16. Any inspection pursuant to this
Section 7.03(a) shall be at the sole risk (including, without limitation, any
risk of personal injury or death) and expense of the Loan Trustee (or its
representative) or the Policy Provider (or its representative), as the case may
be, making such inspection. Except during the continuance of an Event of
Default, all inspections by the Loan Trustee and its representatives provided
for under this Section 7.03(a) shall be limited to one inspection of any kind
contemplated by this Section 7.03(a) during any calendar year.
(b) Financial Information. So long as any of the Equipment Notes remain
unpaid, the Company agrees to furnish to the Loan Trustee, each Liquidity
Provider and the Policy Provider: (i) within 60 days after the end of each of
the first three quarterly periods in each fiscal year of the Company, either (x)
a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries
prepared by it as of the close of such period, together with the related
consolidated statements of income for such period or (y) a report of the Company
on Form 10-Q in respect of such period in the form filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission; (ii) within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year of
the Company, either (x) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries as of the close of such fiscal year, together with the
related consolidated statements of income for such fiscal year, certified by
independent public accountants, or (y) a report of the Company on Form 10-K in
respect of such year in the form filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and (iii) within 60 days of the filing thereof, a copy of any Current
Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
(c) Annual Opinion. The Company will furnish to the Loan Trustee
annually (but not later than March 15th of each year) after the execution hereof
until such time as the principal of, and interest on, and all other amounts with
respect to, the Equipment Notes shall have been paid in full, commencing with
the year 2002, an opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, P.C., or other counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Loan Trustee, stating either (i) that in the opinion of such
counsel such action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing,
re-recording and refiling of this Indenture and any supplements thereto,
including any financing or continuation statements, and such other filings and
recordings as are necessary to maintain, for the 15-month period succeeding the
date of such opinion, the perfection of the security interests created thereby
and reciting the details of such action or (ii) that in the opinion of such
counsel no such action is necessary to maintain, for the 15-month period

Section 7.04. Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations, Modifications
and Additions; Substitution of Engines.
(a) Replacement of Parts. The Company shall promptly replace all Parts
that may
47
from time to time be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or
any Engine and that may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen,
destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or rendered permanently
unfit for use for any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in Section
7.04(c) or if the Airframe or an Engine to which a Part relates has suffered an
Event of Loss. In addition, the Company may remove 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
rendered permanently unfit for use; provided that the Company, except as
otherwise provided in Section 7.04(c), will replace such Parts as promptly as
practicable. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens (except
for Permitted Liens and except in the case of replacement property temporarily
installed on an emergency basis) and shall have a value and utility at least
equal to the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition
and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 7.04(c), all Parts at any time removed from the Airframe or
any Engine shall remain subject to the Lien of this Indenture no matter where
located until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by parts that have been
incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine and that
meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified above. Immediately upon
any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to the
Airframe or any Engine as above provided (except in the case of replacement
property temporarily installed on an emergency basis), without further act, (i)
the replaced Part shall thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Loan
Trustee and of the Lien of this Indenture and shall no longer be deemed a Part
hereunder and (ii) such replacement Part shall become subject to the Lien of
this Indenture and be deemed a Part of the Airframe or such Engine for all
purposes to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in
or attached to the Airframe or such Engine. Upon request of the Company from
time to time, the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company an
appropriate instrument confirming the release of any such replaced Part from the
Lien of this Indenture.
(b) Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Airframe or any Engine
as provided in Section 7.04(a) may be subjected by the Company or a Person
permitted to be in possession of the Aircraft to a pooling arrangement customary
in the airline industry entered into in the ordinary course of the Company's or
such Person's business; provided that the part replacing such removed Part shall
be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine in
accordance with Section 7.04(a) 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 such a pooling arrangement; provided that the Company, at its
expense, as promptly thereafter as practicable, either (i) causes title to such
replacement Part to vest in the Company free and clear of all Liens (except
Permitted Liens), or (ii) replaces such replacement Part by incorporating or
installing in or attaching to the Airframe or such Engine a further replacement
Part in the manner contemplated by Section 7.04(a).
(c) Alterations, Modifications and Additions. The Company will make such
48
alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe and the Engines
as may be required from time to time to meet the applicable requirements of the
FAA or any applicable government of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft
may then be registered; provided, however, that the Company may, in good faith,
contest the validity or application of any such requirement in any manner that
does not involve any material risk of sale, loss or forfeiture of the Aircraft
and does not materially adversely affect the Loan Trustee's interest in the
Aircraft. In addition, the Company, at its own expense, may from time to time
add further parts or accessories and make or cause to be made such alterations
and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine as the Company
may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including, without
limitation, removal (without replacement) of Parts, provided that no such
alteration, modification or addition shall materially diminish the value or
utility of the Airframe or such Engine below its value or utility, immediately
prior to such alteration, modification or addition, assuming that the Airframe
or such Engine was then in the condition required to be maintained by the terms
of this Indenture, except that the value (but not the utility) of the Airframe
or any Engine may be reduced by the value of any such Parts that shall have been
removed that the Company deems obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for
use on the Airframe or any Engine. All Parts incorporated or installed in or
attached or added to the Airframe or any Engine as the result of such
alteration, modification or addition shall, without further act, be subject to
the Lien of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at
any time, remove any Part from the Airframe or any Engine if such Part: (i) is
in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part
originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such
Engine at the time of delivery thereof to the Company or any Part in replacement
of, or substitution for, any such Part, (ii) is not required to be incorporated
or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or such Engine pursuant to
the first sentence of this Section 7.04(c) or (iii) can be removed from the
Airframe or such Engine without materially diminishing the value or utility
required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture that the Airframe or
such Engine would have had at such time had such removal not occurred. Upon the
removal by the Company of any Part as permitted by this Section 7.04(c), such
removed Part shall, without further act, be free and clear of all rights and
interests of the Loan Trustee and the Lien of this Indenture and shall no longer
be deemed a Part hereunder. Upon request of the Company from time to time, the
Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument
confirming the release of any such removed Part from the Lien of this Indenture.
(d) Substitution of Engines. The Company shall have the right at its
option at any time, on at least 30 days' prior written notice to the Loan
Trustee, to substitute a Replacement Engine for any Engine. In such event, and
prior to the date of such substitution, the Company shall replace such Engine
hereunder by complying with the terms of Section 7.05(b) to the same extent as
if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to such Engine.
Section 7.05. Loss, Destruction or Requisition.
49
(a) Event of Loss with Respect to the Airframe. Upon the occurrence of
an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or the Airframe and the Engines
then installed thereon, the Company shall forthwith (and, in any event, within
15 days after such occurrence) give the Loan Trustee written notice of such
Event of Loss, and, within 90 days after such Event of Loss, the Company shall
give the Loan Trustee written notice of its election to perform one of the
following options (it being agreed that if the Company shall not have given such
notice of election within such 90-day period, the Company shall be deemed to
have elected to perform the option set forth in the following clause (ii)). The
Company may elect either to:
(i) on or before the Loss Payment Date (as defined below)
substitute, as replacement for the Airframe or Airframe and Engines with
respect to which an Event of Loss has occurred, a Replacement Airframe
(together with a number of Replacement Engines equal to the number of
Engines, if any, with respect to which the Event of Loss occurred), such
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines to be owned by the Company
free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens); provided that if
the Company shall not perform its obligation to effect such substitution
under this clause (i) on or prior to the Loss Payment Date, then the
Company shall on the Loss Payment Date prepay the Equipment Notes in full
in accordance with Section 2.10; or
(ii) on or before the Loss Payment Date, redeem the Equipment Notes
in full in accordance with Section 2.10. The Company shall give the Loan
Trustee 20 days prior written notice if it elects to redeem the Equipment
Notes on any day prior to the Loss Payment Date.
The "Loss Payment Date" with respect to an Event of Loss means the
Business Day next succeeding the 120th day following the date of occurrence of
such Event of Loss.
If the Company elects to substitute a Replacement Airframe (or a
Replacement Airframe and one or more Replacement Engines, as the case may be)
the Company shall, at its sole expense, not later than the Loss Payment Date,
(A) cause an Indenture Supplement for such Replacement Airframe and Replacement
Engines, if any, to be delivered to the Loan Trustee for execution and, upon
such execution, to be filed for recordation pursuant to the Transportation Code
or the applicable laws of such other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then
be registered, (B) cause a financing statement or statements with respect to the
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, or other requisite
documents or instruments to be filed in such place or places as necessary in
order to perfect the Loan Trustee's interest therein in the United States, or in
any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may then be registered, (C) furnish
the Loan Trustee with an opinion of the Company's counsel (which may be the
Company's General Counsel or such other internal counsel of the Company as shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee to
the effect that upon such replacement, such Replacement Airframe and Replacement
Engines, if any, will be subject to the Lien of this Indenture and addressing
the matters set forth in clauses (A) and (B), (D) furnish the Loan Trustee with
a certificate of an independent aircraft engineer or appraiser,
50
certifying that the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, have a
value and utility at least equal to the Airframe and Engines, if any, so
replaced, assuming the Airframe and such Engines were in the condition and
repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such
Event of Loss, (E) furnish the Loan Trustee with evidence of compliance with the
insurance provisions of Section 7.06 with respect to such Replacement Airframe
and Replacement Engines, if any, and (F) furnish the Loan Trustee with an
opinion of the Company's counsel (which may be the Company's General Counsel or
such other internal counsel of the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Loan Trustee) to the effect that the Loan Trustee will be entitled to the
benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Replacement 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 Loan Trustee 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
the Company's counsel delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 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 each Replacement Airframe or Replacement Airframe and one
or more Replacement Engines subjected to the Lien of this Indenture under this
Section 7.05(a), promptly upon the recordation of the Indenture Supplement
covering such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, pursuant to
the Transportation Code (or pursuant to the applicable law of such other
jurisdiction in which such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any,
are registered), the Company will cause to be delivered to the Loan Trustee a
favorable opinion of the Company's counsel (which may be the Company's General
Counsel or such other internal counsel to the Company as shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed to the Loan Trustee as to the due
registration of such Replacement Aircraft and the due recordation of such
Indenture Supplement or such other requisite documents or instruments and the
validity and perfection of the security interest in the Replacement Aircraft
granted to the Loan Trustee under this Indenture.
For all purposes hereof, upon the attachment of the Lien of this Indenture
thereto, the Replacement Aircraft and Replacement Engines, if any, shall become
part of the Collateral, the Replacement Airframe shall be deemed an "Airframe"
as defined herein, and each such Replacement Engine shall be deemed an "Engine"
as defined herein. Upon compliance with clauses (A) through (F) of the second
preceding paragraph, the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company
an appropriate instrument releasing such replaced Airframe and Engines (if any)
installed thereon at the time such Event of Loss occurred, all proceeds
(including, without limitation, insurance proceeds), the Warranty Rights in
respect of such replaced Airframe and Engines (if any) and all rights relating
to the foregoing, from the Lien of this Indenture and assigning to the Company
all claims against third Persons for damage to or loss of the Airframe and
Engines arising from the Event of Loss.
51
In the event that, after an Event of Loss, the Company performs the option
set forth in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 7.05(a), the
Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company an appropriate instrument
releasing the Aircraft, all proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance
proceeds), the Warranty Rights in respect of the Aircraft and all rights
relating to the foregoing from the Lien of this Indenture and assigning to the
Company all claims against third Persons for damage to or loss of the Aircraft
arising from the Event of Loss.
(b) Event of Loss with Respect to an Engine. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under circumstances in which there has
not occurred an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe, the Company shall
give the Loan Trustee prompt written notice thereof and shall, within 120 days
after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, cause to be subjected to the Lien of
this Indenture, as replacement for the Engine with respect to which such Event
of Loss occurred, a Replacement Engine free and clear of all Liens (other than
Permitted Liens).
Prior to or at the time of any replacement under this Section 7.05(b), the
Company will (i) cause an Indenture Supplement covering such Replacement Engine
to be delivered to the Loan Trustee for execution and, upon such execution, to
be filed for recordation pursuant to the Transportation Code or the applicable
laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may be registered, (ii)
cause a financing statement or statements with respect to such Replacement
Engine or other requisite documents or instruments to be filed in such place or
places as necessary in order to perfect the Loan Trustee's interest therein in
the United States, or in such other jurisdiction in which the Engine may then be
registered, (iii) furnish the Loan Trustee with an opinion of the Company's
counsel (which may be the Company's General Counsel or such other internal
counsel to the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee)
addressed to the Loan Trustee to the effect that, upon such replacement, the
Replacement Engine will be subject to the Lien of this Indenture, (iv) furnish
the Loan Trustee with a certificate of an aircraft engineer or appraiser (who
may be an employee of the Company) certifying that such Replacement Engine has a
value and utility at least equal to the Engine so replaced assuming such Engine
was in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior
to the occurrence of such Event of Loss and (v) furnish the Loan Trustee with
evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 7.06 with
respect to such Replacement Engine. In the case of each Replacement Engine
subjected to the Lien of this Indenture under this Section 7.05(b), promptly
upon the recordation of the Indenture Supplement covering such Replacement
Engine pursuant to the Transportation Code (or pursuant to the applicable law of
such other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft is registered), the Company will
cause to be delivered to the Loan Trustee an opinion of counsel to the Company
(which may be the Company's General Counsel or such other internal counsel of
the Company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee) addressed
to the Loan Trustee as to the due recordation of such Indenture Supplement or
such other requisite documents or instruments and the validity and perfection of
the security interest in the Replacement Engine granted to the Loan Trustee
under this Indenture. For all purposes hereof, upon the attachment of the Lien
of this Indenture thereto, the
52
Replacement Engine shall become part of the Collateral and shall be deemed an
"Engine" as defined herein. Upon compliance with clauses (i) through (v) of this
paragraph, the Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company an
appropriate instrument releasing such replaced Engine, any proceeds (including,
without limitation, insurance proceeds), the Warranty Rights in respect of such
replaced Engine and all rights relating to any of the foregoing from the Lien of
this Indenture and assigning to the Company all claims against third Persons for
damage to or loss of such Engine arising from the Event of Loss.
(c) Application of Payments for Event of Loss from Requisition of Title
or Use. Any payments (other than insurance proceeds the application of which is
provided for in Section 7.06) received at any time by the Company or by the Loan
Trustee from any government or other Person with respect to an Event of Loss to
the Airframe or any Engine, will be applied as follows:
(i) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or
the Airframe and the Engines installed on the Airframe that has been or is
being replaced by the Company pursuant to Section 7.05(a), such payments
shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Loan Trustee and upon
completion of such replacement shall be paid over to, or retained by, the
Company;
(ii) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or
the Airframe and the Engines installed on the Airframe that has not been
and will not be replaced pursuant to Section 7.05(a), so much of such
payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for costs and
expenses that shall not exceed the amounts required to be paid to the
Noteholders pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be applied in reduction of the
Company's obligation to pay such amounts, if not already paid by the
Company, or, if already paid by the Company, shall be applied to reimburse
the Company for its payment of such amount and the balance, if any, of
such payment remaining thereafter will be paid over to, or retained by,
the Company; and
(iii) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine with
regard to which an Event of Loss has occurred as contemplated by Section
7.05(b), so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the
Loan Trustee for costs and expenses shall be paid over to, or retained by,
the Company; provided that the Company shall have fully performed the
terms of Section 7.05(b) with respect to the Event of Loss for which such
payments are made.
(d) Requisition for Use by the Government of the Airframe and the
Engines Installed Thereon. In the event of the requisition for use by any
government, including, without limitation, pursuant to the CRAF Program, of the
Airframe and the Engines or engines installed on the Airframe that does not
constitute an Event of Loss, all of the Company's rights and obligations under
this Indenture with respect to the Airframe and such Engines shall continue to
the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred; provided that,
notwithstanding the
53
foregoing, the Company's obligations other than payment obligations shall only
continue to the extent feasible. All payments received by the Company or the
Loan Trustee from such government for such use of the Airframe and Engines or
engines shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company.
(e) Requisition for Use by the Government of an Engine not Installed on
the Airframe. In the event of the requisition for use by any government of any
Engine not then installed on the Airframe, the Company will replace such Engine
by complying with the terms of Section 7.05(b) to the same extent as if an Event
of Loss had occurred with respect to such Engine. Upon such replacement, any
payments received by the Company or the Loan Trustee from such government with
respect to such requisition shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Company.
(f) Application of Payments During Existence of Event of Default. Any
amount referred to in Section 7.05 that is payable to or retainable by the
Company shall not be paid to or retained by the Company if at the time of such
payment or retention an Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, but shall be held by or paid over to the Loan Trustee as
security for the obligations of the Company under this Indenture. At such time
as there shall not be continuing any such Event of Default or Payment Default,
such amount shall be paid to the Company.
Section 7.06. Insurance.
(a) Aircraft Liability Insurance.
(i) Except as provided in clause (ii) of this subsection (a), and
subject to the rights of the Company to establish and maintain
self-insurance in the manner and to the extent specified in Section

the Loan Trustee, aircraft liability insurance (including, but not limited
to, bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability,
exclusive of manufacturer's product liability insurance) and contractual
liability insurance with respect to the Aircraft (A) in amounts that are
not less than the aircraft liability insurance applicable to similar
aircraft and engines in the Company's fleet on which the Company carries
insurance; provided that such liability insurance shall not be less than
the amount certified in the insurance report delivered to the Loan Trustee
on the Closing Date, (B) of the type usually carried by corporations
engaged in the same or similar business, similarly situated with the
Company and owning or operating similar aircraft and engines and covering
risks of the kind customarily insured against by the Company, and (C) that
is maintained in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility. Any
policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Section 7.06(a) and
any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any of such
policies shall (A) name the Loan Trustee, the Subordination Agent, each
Pass Through Trustee, each Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider as
their Interests (as defined below in this Section 7.06) may appear, as
additional insured
54
(the "Additional Insureds"), (B) subject to the condition of clause (C)
below, provide that, in respect of the interest of the Additional Insureds
in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or
inaction of the Company and shall insure the Additional Insureds'
Interests as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation of any
warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by the
Company, (C) provide that, if such insurance is canceled for any reason
whatever, or if any change is made in the policy that materially reduces
the amount of insurance or the coverage certified in the insurance report
delivered on the Closing Date to the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity
Provider, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of
premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to
any Additional Insured for 30 days (seven days, or such other period as is
customarily available in the industry, in the case of any war risk or
allied perils coverage) after receipt by such Additional Insured of
written notice from such insurers of such cancellation, change or lapse,
(D) provide that the Additional Insureds shall have no obligation or
liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in connection
with such insurance, (E) provide that the insurers shall waive any rights
of (1) set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment
or otherwise, in respect of any liability of the Additional Insureds to
the extent of any moneys due to the Additional Insureds and (2)
subrogation against the Additional Insureds to the extent that the Company
has waived its rights by its agreements to indemnify the Additional
Insureds pursuant to the Operative Documents, (F) be primary without right
of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by each
Additional Insured with respect to its interests as such in the Aircraft
and (G) expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the
limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a
separate policy covering each insured. "Interests" as used in this Section
7.06(a) and in Section 7.06(b) with respect to any Person means the
interests of such Person in the transactions contemplated by the Operative
Documents. In the case of a lease or contract with any government in
respect of the Aircraft or any Engine, or in the case of any requisition
for use of the Aircraft or any Engine by any government, a valid agreement
by such government to indemnify the Company, or an insurance policy issued
by such government, against any of the risks that the Company is required
hereunder to insure against shall be considered adequate insurance for
purposes of this Section 7.06(a) to the extent of the risks (and in the
amounts) that are the subject of such indemnification or insurance.
(ii) During any period that the Airframe or an Engine, as the case
may be, is on the ground and not in operation, the Company may carry or
cause to be carried as to such non-operating Airframe or Engine, in lieu
of the insurance required by clause (i) above, and subject to
self-insurance to the extent permitted by Subsection 7.06(c), insurance
otherwise conforming with the provisions of said clause (i) except that:
(A) the amounts of coverage shall not be required to exceed the amounts of
airline liability insurance from time to time applicable to airframes or
engines owned or leased by the
55
Company of the same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that
are on the ground and not in operation and (B) the scope of the risks
covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time
shall be applicable to airframes or engines owned or leased by the Company
of the same type as such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on
the ground and not in operation.
(b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage to Aircraft.
(i) Except as provided in clause (ii) of this subsection (b), and
subject to the rights of the Company to establish and maintain
self-insurance in the manner and to the extent specified in Section
7.06(c), the Company shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, in effect
with insurers of recognized responsibility, at no expense to the Loan
Trustee, all-risk aircraft hull insurance covering the Aircraft and
all-risk coverage with respect to any Engines or Parts while removed from
the Aircraft (including, without limitation, war risk insurance if and to
the extent the same is maintained by the Company or any Permitted Lessee
with respect to other aircraft owned or operated by the Company or such
Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, on the same routes) that is of the
type and in substantially the amount usually carried by corporations
engaged in the same or similar business and similarly situated with the
Company; provided that (A) such insurance (including the permitted
self-insurance) shall at all times while the Aircraft is subject to this
Indenture be for an amount not less than 110% of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Equipment Notes from time to time, (B) such
insurance need not cover an Engine while attached to an airframe not
owned, leased or operated by the Company and (C) such insurance covering
Engines and Parts removed from an Airframe or an airframe or (in the case
of Parts) an Engine need be obtained only to the extent available at
reasonable cost (as reasonably determined by the Company). Any policies
carried in accordance with this Section 7.06(b) and any policies taken out
in substitution or replacement for any such policies shall (A) provide
that any insurance proceeds up to an amount equal to the outstanding
principal amount of the Equipment Notes, together with accrued but unpaid
interest thereon, plus an amount equal to the interest that would accrue
on the outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes at the Debt
Rate in effect on the date of payment of such insurance proceeds to the
Loan Trustee (as provided for in this sentence) during the period
commencing on the day following the date of such payment to the Loan
Trustee and ending on the Loss Payment Date, plus Break Amount with
respect to the Series G Notes (the "Loan Amount"), payable for any loss or
damage constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft and any
insurance proceeds in excess of the amount set forth on Exhibit C up to
the amount of the Loan Amount for any loss or damage to the Aircraft (or
Engines) not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft
(or Engines), shall be paid to the Loan Trustee as long as the Indenture
shall not have been discharged, and that all other amounts shall be
payable to the Company, unless the insurer shall have received notice that
an Event of Default exists, in which case all insurance proceeds for any
loss or damage to the Aircraft (or Engines) up
56
to the Loan Amount shall be payable to the Loan Trustee, (B) subject to
the conditions of clause (C) below, provide that, in respect of the
interests of the Additional Insureds in such policies, the insurance shall
not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the Company and shall
insure the Additional Insureds' Interests as they appear, regardless of
any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition
contained in such policies by the Company, (C) provide that if such
insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, or if any change is made
in the policy that materially reduces the amount of insurance or the
coverage certified in the insurance report delivered on the Closing Date
to the Loan Trustee and each Liquidity Provider, or if such insurance is
allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or
lapse shall not be effective as to the Additional Insureds for 30 days
(seven days, or such other period as is customarily available in the
industry, in the case of war risk or allied perils coverage) after receipt
by the Additional Insureds of written notice from such insurers of such
cancellation, change or lapse, (D) provide that the Additional Insureds
shall have no obligation or liability for premiums, commissions,
assessments or calls in connection with such insurance, (E) provide that
the insurers shall waive rights of (1) setoff, counterclaim or any other
deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability
of the Additional Insureds to the extent of any moneys due to the
Additional Insureds and (2) subrogation against the Additional Insureds to
the extent the Company has waived its rights by its agreement to indemnify
the Additional Insureds pursuant to the Operative Documents and (F) be
primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be
carried by any Additional Insured with respect to its Interests as such in
the Aircraft. In the case of a lease or contract with any government in
respect of the Aircraft or any Engine, or in the case of any requisition
for use of the Aircraft or any Engine by any government, a valid agreement
by such government to indemnify the Company, or an insurance policy issued
by such government, against any risks which the Company is required
hereunder to insure against shall be considered adequate insurance for
purposes of this Section 7.06(b) to the extent of the risks (and in the
amounts) that are the subject of such indemnification or insurance.
(ii) During any period that the Airframe or an Engine is on the
ground and not in operation, the Company may carry or cause to be carried
as to such non-operating Airframe or Engine, in lieu of the insurance
required by clause (i) above, and subject to self-insurance to the extent
permitted by Subsection 7.06(c), insurance otherwise conforming with the
provisions of said clause (i) except that the scope of the risks covered
and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time
applicable to airframes and engines owned or leased by the Company (or, if
a lease is then in effect, by the Permitted Lessee) of the same type as
such non-operating Airframe or Engine and that are on the ground and not
in operation; provided that, subject to self-insurance to the extent
permitted by Subsection 7.06(c), the Company shall maintain insurance
against risk of loss or damage to such non-operating Airframe or Engine in
an amount at least equal to 110% of the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Equipment Notes
57
during such period that such Airframe or Engine is on the ground and not
in operation.
(c) Self-Insurance. The Company may from time-to-time self-insure, by
way of deductible, self-insured retention, premium adjustment or franchise or
otherwise (including, with respect to insurance maintained pursuant to
Subsections 7.06(a) or 7.06(b), insuring for a maximum amount that is less than
the amounts set forth in Sections 7.06(a) and 7.06(b)), the risks required to be
insured against pursuant to Sections 7.06(a) and 7.06(b), but in no case shall
the self-insurance with respect to all of the aircraft and engines in the
Company's fleet (including, without limitation, the Aircraft) exceed for any
12-month policy year 1% of the average aggregate insurable value (for the
preceding policy year) of all aircraft (including, without limitation, the
Aircraft) on which the Company carries insurance, unless an insurance broker of
national standing shall certify that the standard among all other major United
States airlines is a higher level of self-insurance, in which case the Company
may self-insure the Aircraft to such higher level. In addition to the foregoing
right to self-insure, the Company may self-insure to the extent of (1) any
deductible per occurrence that, in the case of the Aircraft, is not in excess of
the amount customarily allowed as a deductible in the industry or is required to
facilitate claims handling or (2) any applicable mandatory minimum per aircraft
(or if applicable per annum or other period) hull or liability insurance
deductibles imposed by the aircraft or hull liability insurers.
(d) Application of Insurance Payments. All losses will be adjusted by
the Company with the insurers. As between the Loan Trustee and the Company it is
agreed that all insurance payments received under policies required to be
maintained by the Company hereunder, exclusive of any payments received in
excess of the Loan Amount for the Aircraft from such policies, as the result of
the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or an Engine
will be applied as follows:
(i) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or
the Airframe and any Engines installed on the Airframe that has been or is
being replaced by the Company pursuant to Section 7.05(a), such payments
shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Loan Trustee and upon
completion of such replacement shall be paid over to, or retained by, the
Company.
(ii) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe or
the Airframe and any Engines installed on the Airframe that has not been
and will not be replaced as contemplated by Section 7.05(a), so much of
such payments remaining after reimbursement of the Loan Trustee for its
costs and expenses as shall not exceed the amounts required to be paid by
the Company pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be applied in reduction of the
Company's obligation to pay such amounts, if not already paid by the
Company, or, if already paid by the Company, shall be applied to reimburse
the Company for its payment of such amounts and the balance, if any, of
such payment remaining thereafter will be paid over to, or retained by,
the Company; and
58
(iii) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine with
regard to which an Event of Loss contemplated by Section 7.05(b) has
occurred, so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the
Loan Trustee for its costs and expenses shall be paid over to, or retained
by, the Company; provided that the Company shall have fully performed the
terms of Section 7.05(b) with respect to the Event of Loss for which such
payments are made.
In all events, the insurance payment of any property damage loss received
under policies maintained by the Company in excess of the Loan Amount for the
Aircraft shall be paid to the Company.
The insurance payments for any loss or damage to the Airframe or an Engine
not constituting an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe or such Engine
will be applied in payment (or to reimburse the Company) for repairs or for
replacement property in accordance with the terms of Sections 7.02 and 7.04, and
any balance remaining after compliance with such Sections with respect to such
loss or damage shall be paid to the Company. Any amount referred to in the
preceding sentence or in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the second preceding
paragraph that is payable to the Company shall not be paid to the Company (or,
if it has been previously paid directly to the Company, shall not be retained by
the Company) if at the time of such payment an Event of Default or Payment
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be paid to and held by
the Loan Trustee as security for the obligations of the Company under this
Indenture, and at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Event of
Default or Payment Default, such amount shall, to the extent not theretofore
applied as provided herein, be paid to the Company.
(e) Reports, Etc. On or before the Closing Date and annually upon
renewal of the Company's insurance coverage, the Company will furnish to the
Loan Trustee, each Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider a report signed by
a firm of independent aircraft insurance brokers appointed by the Company (which
brokers may be in the regular employ of the Company), stating the opinion of
such firm that the insurance then carried and maintained on the Aircraft
complies with the terms hereof; provided that all information contained in such
report shall be Confidential Information and shall be treated by the Loan
Trustee, each Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider and each of their
affiliates and officers, directors, agents and employees in accordance with the
provisions of Section 10.16. The Company will cause such firm to advise the Loan
Trustee, each Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider in writing of any act
or omission on the part of the Company of which such firm has knowledge that
might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on
the Aircraft. The Company will also cause such firm to advise the Loan Trustee,
each Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider in writing as promptly as
practicable after such firm acquires knowledge that an interruption of any
insurance carried and maintained on the Aircraft pursuant to this Section 7.06
will occur. Such information may only be provided to other Persons in accordance
with Section 10.16.
59
(f) Salvage Rights; Other. All salvage rights to the Airframe and each
Engine shall remain with the Company's insurers at all times, and any insurance
policies of the Loan Trustee insuring the Airframe or any Engine shall provide
for a release to the Company of any and all salvage rights in and to the
Airframe or any Engine. Neither the Loan Trustee nor any Noteholder may,
directly or indirectly, obtain insurance for its own account with respect to the
Airframe or any Engine if such insurance would limit or otherwise adversely
affect the coverage or amounts payable under, or increase the premiums for, any
insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 7.06 or any other
insurance maintained with respect to the Aircraft or any other aircraft in the
Company's fleet.
ARTICLE VIII
SUCCESSOR AND ADDITIONAL TRUSTEES
Section 8.01. Resignation or Removal; Appointment of Successor.
(a) The resignation or removal of the Loan Trustee and the appointment
of a successor Loan Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Loan
Trustee's acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 8.01. The Loan
Trustee or any successor thereto must resign if at any time it ceases to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01(c) and may resign at
any time without cause by giving at least 60 days' prior written notice to the
Company and each Noteholder. In addition, either the Company (so long as no
Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing) or a
Majority in Interest of Noteholders (but only with the consent of the Company so
long as no Event of Default or Payment Default shall have occurred and be
continuing), may at any time remove the Loan Trustee without cause by an
instrument in writing delivered to the Loan Trustee and each Noteholder, and, in
case of a removal by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, to the Company.
In the case of the resignation or removal of the Loan Trustee, the Company
shall promptly appoint a successor Loan Trustee. If a successor Loan Trustee
shall not have been appointed within 60 days after such notice of resignation or
removal, the Loan Trustee, the Company or any Noteholder may apply to any court
of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Loan Trustee to act until such
time, if any, as a successor shall have been appointed as above provided. The
successor Loan Trustee so appointed by such court shall immediately and without
further act be superseded by any successor Loan Trustee appointed as above
provided.
(b) Any successor Loan Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and
deliver to the predecessor Loan Trustee and the Company an instrument accepting
such appointment and assuming the obligations of the Loan Trustee arising from
and after the time of such appointment, and thereupon such successor Loan
Trustee, without further act, shall become vested with all the estates,
properties, rights, powers and duties of the predecessor Loan Trustee hereunder
in the trust hereunder applicable to it with like effect as if originally named
the Loan Trustee herein; but nevertheless upon the written request of such
successor Loan Trustee, such
60
predecessor Loan Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to
such successor Loan Trustee all the estates, properties, rights and powers of
such predecessor Loan Trustee, and such predecessor Loan Trustee shall duly
assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to such successor Loan Trustee all monies
or other property and all other books and records, or true, correct and complete
copies thereof, then held by such predecessor Loan Trustee hereunder.
(c) This Indenture shall at all times have a Loan Trustee, however
appointed, that is a Citizen of the United States (without the use of a voting
trust) and a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $75,000,000 (or a combined capital and surplus in excess of $5,000,000 and
the obligations of which, whether now in existence or hereafter incurred, are
fully and unconditionally guaranteed by a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof
or the District of Columbia and having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $75,000,000) or a corporation with a net worth of at least $75,000,000, if
there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the
duties of the Loan Trustee hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms. If such
bank, trust company or corporation publishes reports of conditions at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of federal, state, territorial
or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section 8.01(c) the combined capital and surplus of such bank,
trust company or corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of conditions so published. In
case at any time the Loan Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 8.01(c), the Loan Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.01(a).
(d) Any corporation into which the Loan Trustee 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 Loan Trustee shall be
a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust
business of the Loan Trustee may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of
Section 8.01(c), be a successor Loan Trustee under this Indenture without
further act.
Section 8.02. Appointment of Additional and Separate Trustees.
(a) Whenever (i) the Loan Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable
in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of
the Collateral shall be situated or to make any claim or bring any suit with
respect to or in connection with the Collateral, any Operative Document or any
of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents, (ii) the Loan
Trustee shall be advised by counsel satisfactory to it that it is necessary or
prudent in the interests of the Noteholders (and the Loan Trustee shall so
advise the Company) or (iii) the Loan Trustee shall have been requested to do so
by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, then in any such case, the Loan
Trustee and, upon the written request of the Loan Trustee, the Company, shall
execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and such other instruments
as may from time to time be necessary or advisable either (1) to constitute one
or more banks or trust
61
companies or corporations meeting the requirements of Section 8.01(c) and
approved by the Loan Trustee, either to act jointly with the Loan Trustee as
additional trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Collateral or to act as
separate trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Collateral, in each case
with such rights, powers, duties and obligations consistent with this Indenture
as may be provided in such supplemental indenture or other instruments as the
Loan Trustee or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders may deem necessary or
advisable, or (2) to clarify, add to or subtract from the rights, powers, duties
and obligations theretofore granted any such additional or separate trustee,
subject in each case to the remaining provisions of this Section 8.02. If no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no additional or supplemental
trustee shall be appointed without the Company's consent. If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Loan Trustee may act under the
foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02(a) without the concurrence of the
Company, and the Company hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is
coupled with an interest) the Loan Trustee as its agent and attorney-in-fact to
act for it under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02(a). The Loan
Trustee may, in such capacity, execute, deliver and perform any such
supplemental indenture, or any such instrument, as may be required for the
appointment of any such additional or separate trustee or for the clarification
of, addition to or subtraction from the rights, powers, duties or obligations
theretofore granted to any such additional or separate trustee, subject in each
case to the remaining provisions of this Section 8.02. In case any additional or
separate trustee appointed under this Section 8.02(a) shall become incapable of
acting, resign or be removed, all the assets, property, rights, powers, trusts,
duties and obligations of such additional or separate trustee shall revert to
the Loan Trustee until a successor additional or separate trustee is appointed
as provided in this Section 8.02(a).
(b) No additional or separate trustee shall be entitled to exercise any
of the rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon the Loan Trustee in
respect of the custody, investment and payment of monies and all monies received
by any such additional or separate trustee from or constituting part of the
Collateral or otherwise payable under any Operative Documents to the Loan
Trustee shall be promptly paid over by it to the Loan Trustee. All other rights,
powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon any additional or
separate trustee shall be exercised or performed by the Loan Trustee and such
additional or separate trustee jointly except to the extent that applicable law
of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed renders the
Loan Trustee incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to all or
part of the Collateral in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed by such additional or separate trustee. No additional or separate
trustee shall take any discretionary action except on the instructions of the
Loan Trustee or a Majority in Interest of Noteholders. No trustee hereunder
shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee
hereunder, except that the Loan Trustee shall be liable for the consequences of
its lack of reasonable care in selecting, and the Loan Trustee's own actions in
acting with, any additional or separate trustee. Each additional or separate
trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall be subject to, and shall
have the benefit of Articles IV, V, VI, VIII, IX and X hereof insofar as
62
they apply to the Loan Trustee. The powers of any additional or separate trustee
appointed pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall not in any case exceed those of
the Loan Trustee hereunder.
(c) If at any time the Loan Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or
desirable or in the event that the Loan Trustee shall have been requested to do
so in writing by a Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Loan Trustee and,
upon the written request of the Loan Trustee, the Company, shall execute and
deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and all other instruments and
agreements necessary or proper to remove any additional or separate trustee. The
Loan Trustee may act on behalf of the Company under this Section 8.02(c) when
and to the extent it could so act under Section 8.02(a) hereof. In any case, the
Company may remove an additional or separate trustee in the manner set forth in
Section 8.01.
ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS
Section 9.01. Amendments to this Indenture without Consent of Holders. At
any time after the date hereof, the Company and the Loan Trustee may enter into

adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders, the Policy Provider or any
Liquidity Provider; (vii) to correct or amplify the description of any property
at any time subject to the Lien of this Indenture, or better to assure, convey
and confirm unto the Loan Trustee any property subject or required to be subject

Equipment Notes and/or Second New Series D Equipment Notes and/or Pass Through
Certificates issued by a New Trust in connection with a Refunding and to make
changes relating thereto; (xiii) to provide for the guaranty by AMR Corporation
or another entity of this Indenture
63
or one or more Series of Equipment Notes (other than in connection with the
issuance of New Series C Equipment Notes, New Series D Equipment Notes, Second
New Series D Equipment Notes and Series E Equipment Notes, subject to obtaining
a Ratings Confirmation) and (xiv) to provide for the issuance of Series E
Equipment Notes and/or Pass Through Certificates issued by the Class E Trust and
to make changes relating thereto, provided that (A) the Company shall have
obtained written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the issuance of the
Series E Equipment Notes would not result in a reduction of the rating for any
class of Pass Through Certificates that is then rated below the then current
rating for such class of Pass Through Certificates (without regard to the Policy
in the case of the Class G Certificates) or a withdrawal or suspension of the
rating of such class of Pass Through Certificates and (B) (1) if the Series E
Equipment Notes are issued to a Class E Trust, the Pass Through Trustee thereof
shall become a party to the Intercreditor Agreement as provided therein or (2)
if Series E Equipment Notes are issued to any person other than a Class E Trust,
the Series E Equipment Notes will be subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement that allow the "Controlling Party" (as defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement), during the continuance of an "Indenture Event of
Default" (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) to direct the Loan Trustee
in taking action under this Indenture; provided further that, unless there shall
have been obtained from each Rating Agency written confirmation that a
supplemental agreement described in any of clauses (i) through (xiv) of this
Section 9.01 would not result in a reduction of the rating for any class of Pass
Through Certificates that is then rated below the then current rating for such
class of Pass Through Certificates (without regard to the Policy in the case of
the Class G Certificates) or a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of such
class of Pass Through Certificates, if any Pass Through Certificates are then
outstanding, the Company shall provide each relevant Pass Through Trustee with
an opinion of counsel (y) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, to the effect that such supplemental agreement will not cause the
relevant Pass Through Trust to become an association taxable as a corporation
for United States federal income tax purposes or (z) in other circumstances, to
the effect that such supplemental agreement will not cause the relevant Pass
Through Trust to be treated as other than a grantor trust for United States
federal income tax purposes.
Section 9.02. Amendments to this Indenture with Consent of Holders.
(a) With the written consent of a Majority in Interest of Noteholders,
the Company may, and the Loan Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.06, at any
time and from time to time, enter into such supplemental agreements to add any
provisions to or to change or eliminate any provisions of this Indenture or of
