NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and
the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Financing of Aircraft. (a) The Company confirms
that it has entered into the Aircraft Purchase Agreement with the Manufacturer
pursuant to which the Company has agreed to purchase, and the Manufacturer has
agreed to deliver, the Aircraft in the months specified in Schedule I hereto,
all on and subject to terms and conditions specified in the Aircraft Purchase
Agreement. The Company agrees to finance the Aircraft in the manner provided
herein, all on and subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the
relevant Financing Agreements.
(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company agrees to
give the parties hereto, the Depositary and each of the Rating Agencies not less
than two Business Days' prior notice (a "Delivery Notice") of the scheduled
delivery date (the "Scheduled Delivery Date") (or, in the case of a substitute
Delivery Notice under Section 1(e) or (f) hereof, one Business Day's prior
notice) in respect of each Aircraft under the Aircraft Purchase Agreement, or in
the case of
5
3
the utilization of bridge financing as contemplated by Section 1(e) hereof in
respect of any Aircraft, one Business Day's prior notice of the date of the
financing of such Aircraft pursuant to the relevant Financing Agreements, which
notice shall:
(i) specify whether the Company has elected to treat such
Aircraft as a Leased Aircraft or an Owned Aircraft;
(ii) specify the Scheduled Delivery Date of such Aircraft
(which shall be a Business Day before the Cut-off Date and, except as
provided in Section 1(f) hereof, the date (the "Funding Date") on which
the financing therefor in the manner provided herein shall be
consummated);
(iii) instruct the Pass Through Trustee to execute and deliver
to the relevant Escrow Agent a withdrawal certificate in the form of
Exhibit B to the Escrow Agent so as to provide a Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal to the Depositary with respect to the Equipment Notes to be
issued in connection with the financing of such Aircraft;
(iv) instruct the Pass Through Trustee to enter into the
Participation Agreement included in the Financing Agreements with
respect to such Aircraft in such form and at such a time on or before
the Funding Date specified in such Delivery Notice and to perform its
obligations thereunder;
(v) specify the aggregate principal amount of each series of
Equipment Notes to be issued, and purchased by the Pass Through
Trustees, in connection with the financing of such Aircraft scheduled
to be delivered on such Funding Date (which shall in all respects
comply with the Mandatory Economic Terms); and
(vi) if such Aircraft is to be a Leased Aircraft, certify that
the related Owner Participant (A) is not an Affiliate of the Company
and (B) based on the representations of such Owner Participant, is
either (1) a Qualified Owner Participant or (2) any other person the
obligations of which under the Owner Participant Agreements (as defined
in the applicable Participation Agreement) are guaranteed by a
Qualified Owner Participant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the date of issuance of the
Certificates coincides with the Scheduled Delivery Date of the first Aircraft to
be financed pursuant to the terms hereof, the Delivery Notice therefor may be
delivered to the parties hereto on such Scheduled Delivery Date.
(c) Upon receipt of a Delivery Notice, the Pass Through
Trustees shall, and shall cause the Subordination Agent to, enter into and
perform their obligations under the Participation Agreement and other
instructions specified in such Delivery Notice, provided that such Participation
Agreement and the other Lease Financing Agreements or Owner Financing Agreements
to be entered into pursuant to such Participation Agreement shall be in the
forms thereof annexed hereto in all material respects with such changes therein
as shall have been requested by the related Owner Participant (in the case of
Lease Financing Agreements) or by the initial purchasers of the Series D
Equipment Notes or Class D Pass Through Certificates, agreed to by the Company
and, if modified in any material respect, as to which Rating Agency Confirmation
shall have been obtained from each Rating Agency by the Company (to be delivered
by the
6
4
Company to the applicable Pass Through Trustee on or before the relevant
Delivery Date, it being understood that if Rating Agency Confirmation shall have
been received with respect to any Financing Agreements and such Financing
Agreements are utilized for subsequent Aircraft (or Substitute Aircraft) without
material modifications, no additional Rating Agency Confirmation shall be
required); provided, however, that the relevant Financing Agreements as executed
and delivered shall not vary the Mandatory Economic Terms and shall contain the
Mandatory Document Terms. With respect to each Aircraft, WTC (or such other
person that meets the eligibility requirements to act as mortgagee under the
Leased Aircraft Indenture or Owned Aircraft Indenture) shall execute as Loan
Trustee the Financing Agreements relating to such Aircraft to which such Loan
Trustee is intended to be a party, and the Company shall concurrently therewith
execute such Financing Agreements to which the Company is intended to be a party
and perform its respective obligations thereunder. Upon the request of either
Rating Agency, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such Rating
Agency a true and complete copy of each Financing Agreement relating to the
financing of each Aircraft together with a true and complete set of the closing
documentation (including legal opinions) delivered to the related Loan Trustee,
Subordination Agent and Pass Through Trustee under the related Participation
Agreement.
(d) If after giving any Delivery Notice, there shall be a
delay in the delivery of an Aircraft, or if on the Scheduled Delivery Date of an
Aircraft the financing thereof in the manner contemplated hereby shall not be
consummated for whatever reason, the Company shall give the parties hereto
prompt notice thereof. Concurrently with the giving of such notice of
postponement or subsequently, the Company shall give the parties hereto a
substitute Delivery Notice specifying the date to which such delivery and
related financing shall have been re-scheduled (which shall be a Business Day
before the Cut-off Date on which the Escrow Agents shall be entitled to withdraw
one or more Deposits under each of the applicable Deposit Agreements to enable
each applicable Pass Through Trustee to fund its purchase of the related
Equipment Notes). Upon receipt of any such notice of postponement, each
applicable Pass Through Trustee shall comply with its obligations under Section
7.01 of each of the Pass Through Trust Agreements and thereafter the financing
of the relevant Aircraft shall take place on the re-scheduled Delivery Date
therefor (all on and subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant
Financing Agreements) unless further postponed as provided herein.
(e) Anything in this Section 1 to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall have the right at any time on or before the
Scheduled Delivery Date of any Aircraft, and subsequent to its giving a Delivery
Notice therefor, to postpone the Scheduled Delivery Date of such Aircraft so as
to enable the Company to change its election to treat such Aircraft as a Leased
Aircraft or an Owned Aircraft by written notice of such postponement to the
other parties hereto. The Company shall subsequently give the parties hereto a
substitute Delivery Notice complying with the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof
and specifying the new Funding Date for such postponed Aircraft (which shall be
a Business Day occurring before the Cut-off Date and on which the Escrow Agents
shall be entitled to withdraw Deposits under each of the applicable Deposit
Agreements sufficient to enable each applicable Pass Through Trustee to fund its
purchase of the related Equipment Notes). In addition, the Company shall have
the further right, anything in this Section 1 to the contrary notwithstanding,
to accept delivery of an Aircraft under the Aircraft Purchase Agreement on the
Delivery Date thereof by utilization of bridge financing of such Aircraft and
promptly thereafter give the parties hereto a Delivery Notice specifying a
7
5
Funding Date not later than 90 days after the Delivery Date of such Aircraft and
no later than the Cut-off Date and otherwise complying with the provisions of
Section 1(b) hereof. All other terms and conditions of this Note Purchase
Agreement shall apply to the financing of any such Aircraft on the re-scheduled
Funding Date therefor except (i) the re-scheduled Funding Date shall be deemed
the Delivery Date of such Aircraft for all purposes of this Section 1, (ii) the
related Financing Agreements shall be amended to reflect the original delivery
of such Aircraft to the Company and (iii) the related Financing Agreements shall
be amended to reflect the seller of such Aircraft, and the recipient of payment
of the purchase price therefor, as the Company and (iv) in the case of a Leased
Aircraft, the Aircraft Purchase Agreement Assignment shall be modified to cover
only an assignment of the relevant warranties.
(f) If the Scheduled Delivery Date for any Aircraft is delayed
for any reason (including the casualty loss thereof) more than 30 days beyond
the last day of the month set forth opposite such Aircraft under the heading
"Scheduled Delivery Months" in Schedule I hereto, the Company may identify for
delivery a substitute aircraft therefor meeting the following conditions (a
"Substitute Aircraft"): (i) a Substitute Aircraft must be an Airbus A319-100 or
A320-200 aircraft manufactured after the date of this Agreement, (ii) one or
more Substitute Aircraft of the same or different types may be substituted for
one or more Aircraft of the same or different types so long as after giving
effect thereto such substitution does not vary the Mandatory Economic Terms and
(iii) the Company shall be obligated to obtain Rating Agency Confirmation in
respect of the replacement of any Aircraft by Substitute Aircraft. Upon the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth above with respect to a Substitute
Aircraft, the Aircraft to be replaced shall cease to be subject to this
Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereto concerning such
Aircraft shall cease, and such Substitute Aircraft shall become and thereafter
be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as
such Aircraft.
(g) The Company shall have no liability for the failure of the
Pass Through Trustees to purchase Equipment Notes with respect to any Aircraft
or Substitute Aircraft, other than the Company's obligation, if any, to pay the
Deposit Make-Whole Premium pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) of this Agreement.
(h) The parties agree that if, in connection with the delivery
of an Aircraft or Substitute Aircraft, any Owner Participant who is to be a
party to any Lease Financing Agreement shall not be a "Citizen of the United
States" within the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of the Act, then the
applicable Lease Financing Agreements shall be modified, consistent with the
Mandatory Document Terms, (x) to require such Owner Participant to enter into a
voting trust, voting powers or similar arrangement satisfactory to the Company
that (A) enables such Aircraft or Substitute Aircraft to be registered in the
United States and (B) complies with the FAA regulations issued under the Act
applicable thereto and (y) to be otherwise consistent with such state of
affairs.
(i) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall not have the right, and shall not be entitled, at any time to
request the issuance of Equipment Notes of any series to any Pass Through
Trustee in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the amount of the Deposits
then available for withdrawal by the Escrow Agent under and in accordance with
the provisions of the related Deposit Agreement.

terminate on the Cut-off Date.
