granted by this Indenture and from the Indenture Estate all Excepted
Property;
(b)(i) the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant shall at
all times retain the right, to the exclusion of the Indenture Trustee

Lease (other than the right to receive any funds to be delivered to the
Lessor under the Lease (except funds which constitute or are delivered
with respect to Excepted Property)); and
(c) the leasehold interest granted to the Lessee under the
Lease shall not be subject to the security interest granted by this
Indenture, and nothing in this Indenture shall affect the rights of the
Lessee under the Lease so long as no Lease Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing; and
(d) as between the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee,
nothing contained in this Granting Clause shall prevent the Owner
Trustee, as the Lessor under the Lease, from seeking specific
performance of the covenants of the Lessee under the Lease relating to
the insurance, maintenance, possession and use of the Units and from
maintaining separate insurance with respect to the Units to the extent
permitted by Section 12.5 of the Lease.
HABENDUM CLAUSE
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD all and singular the aforesaid property unto the
Indenture Trustee, its successors and assigns, in trust for the benefit and
security of the holders of the Equipment Notes from time to time, without any
priority of any one Equipment Note over any other Equipment Note, and for the
uses and purposes, and subject to the terms and provisions, set forth in this
Indenture.
It is expressly agreed that anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall remain liable under each of the
Operative Agreements to which it is a party to perform all of the obligations,
if any, assumed by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the
terms and provisions thereof, and the Indenture Trustee and the holders of the
Equipment Notes shall have no obligation or liability under any of the Operative
Agreements to which the Owner Trustee is a party by reason of or arising out of
this assignment, nor shall the Indenture Trustee (unless the Indenture Trustee
shall have become the "Lessor" under the Lease) or the holders of the Equipment
Notes be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any
obligations of the Owner Trustee under or pursuant to any of the Operative
Agreements to which the Owner Trustee is a party or, except as herein expressly
provided, to make any payment, 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 amounts which may have been
assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Owner Trustee does
hereby constitute the Indenture Trustee the true and lawful attorney of the
Owner Trustee, irrevocably, with full power (in the name of the Owner Trustee or
otherwise), upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture
Event of Default, to ask, require, demand, receive, compound and give
acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due
to the Owner Trustee (other than Excepted Property), under or
-3-

arising out of the Lease, or to endorse any checks or other instruments or
orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or
institute any proceedings which the Indenture Trustee may deem to be necessary
or advisable in the premises. The Owner Trustee has directed the Lessee to make
all payments of Rent (other than Excepted Property) payable to the Owner Trustee
by the Lessee and all other amounts which are required to be paid to or
deposited with the Owner Trustee pursuant to the Lease directly to the Indenture
Trustee at such address as the Indenture Trustee shall specify, for application
as provided in this Indenture. The Owner Trustee agrees that promptly on receipt
thereof, it will transfer to the Indenture Trustee any and all moneys from time
to time received by it constituting part of the Indenture Estate, for
distribution by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, except that
the Owner Trustee shall accept for distribution pursuant to the Trust Agreement
any amounts distributed to it by the Indenture Trustee as expressly provided in
this Indenture and any Excepted Property.
The Owner Trustee agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon
the written request of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee will promptly
and duly execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered any and all
such further instruments and documents as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably
deem to be necessary in order to obtain the full benefits of this assignment and
of the rights and powers herein granted.
The Owner Trustee does hereby warrant and represent that it has not
assigned or pledged, and hereby covenants that it will not assign or pledge, so
long as the assignment hereunder shall remain in effect, any of its right, title
or interest hereby assigned, to anyone other than the Indenture Trustee, and
that it will not (other than in respect of Excepted Property), except as
provided in or permitted by this Indenture, accept any payment from the Lessee,
enter into an agreement amending or supplementing any of the Operative
Agreements, execute any waiver or modification of, or consent under the terms of
any of the Operative Agreements (other than the Tax Indemnity Agreement), settle
or compromise any claim (other than claims in respect of Excepted Property)
against the Lessee arising under any of the Operative Agreements, or submit or
consent to the submission of any dispute, difference or other matter arising
under or in respect of any of the Operative Agreements, to arbitration
thereunder.

other provision herein or in the Equipment Notes to the contrary, all payments
to be made under the Equipment Notes and this Indenture and the relevant
Indenture Supplement shall be made only from the income and the proceeds from

any case without any presentment or surrender of any Equipment Note, except that
the holder of an Equipment Note shall surrender such Equipment Note to the
Indenture Trustee upon payment in full of the principal amount of and interest
on such Equipment Note and such other sums payable to such holder hereunder or
under the Equipment Note.
(b) Whenever the date scheduled for any payment to be made hereunder or
under any Equipment Note shall not be a Business Day, then such payment need not
be made on such scheduled date but may be made on the next succeeding Business
Day with the same force and effect as if made on such scheduled date and
(provided 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 to
the time of such payment on such next succeeding Business Day.

In the case of each Equipment Note, each payment of principal thereof and
Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest thereon shall be applied, first, to the
payment of accrued but unpaid interest on such Equipment Note then due
thereunder, second, to the payment of the unpaid principal amount of such
Equipment Note then due thereunder, third, to the payment of any Make-Whole
Amount then due thereon and fourth, to the payment of the remaining outstanding
principal amount of such Equipment Note; provided, that the Owner Trustee may
only prepay such Equipment Note in accordance with the provisions of Section
2.10, 3.02 and 3.03 hereof.
Section 2.06. Termination of Interest in Indenture Estate. A holder
shall have no further interest in, or other right with respect to, the Indenture
Estate when and if the principal amount of and interest on all Equipment Notes
held by such holder and all other sums payable to such holder hereunder and
under such Equipment Notes and under the Participation Agreement shall have been
paid in full.
Section 2.07. Transfer of Equipment Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall
maintain at its corporate trust administration office in Chicago, Illinois or in
the city in which the corporate trust office of a successor Indenture Trustee is
located, a register for the purpose of registering transfers and exchanges of
Equipment Notes. A holder of an Equipment Note intending to transfer such
Equipment Note to a new payee, or to exchange any Equipment Note or Equipment
Notes held by it for an Equipment Note or
-9-
14
Equipment Notes of a different denomination or denominations, may surrender such
Equipment Note or Equipment Notes to the Indenture Trustee at such principal
corporate trust administration office of the Indenture Trustee, together with a
written request from such holder for the issuance of a new Equipment Note or
Equipment Notes, specifying the denomination or denominations (each of which
shall be not less than $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof or such smaller
denomination as may be necessary due to the original issuance of Equipment Notes
of the applicable maturity in an aggregate principal amount not evenly divisible
by $1,000,000) of the same, and, in the case of a surrender for registration of
transfer, the name and address of the transferee or transferees. Promptly upon
receipt of such documents, the Owner Trustee will issue, and the Indenture
Trustee will authenticate, a new Equipment Note or Equipment Notes of the same
series, in the same aggregate principal amount and dated the same date or dates
as, with the same payment schedule, in the form set forth in Section 2.01 in the
same maturity and bearing the same interest rate as the Equipment Note or
Equipment Notes surrendered, in such denomination or denominations and payable
to such payee or payees as shall be specified in the written request from such
holder. All Equipment Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange
of Equipment Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Owner Trustee
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. The Indenture Trustee shall make a
notation on each new Equipment Note or Equipment Notes of the amount of all
payments or prepayments of principal and interest previously made on the old
Equipment Note or Equipment Notes with respect to which such new Equipment Note
or Equipment Notes is or are issued. From time to time, the Indenture Trustee
will provide the Owner Trustee and the Lessee with such information as it may
request as to the registered holders of Equipment Notes. The Owner Trustee shall
not be required to exchange any surrendered Equipment Notes as above provided
during the 10-day period preceding the due date of any payment on such Equipment
Notes.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of an
Equipment Note, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may deem and treat
the registered holder of such Equipment Note as the absolute owner and holder of
such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable
with respect to such Equipment Note and for all other purposes and shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Indenture Trustee will promptly notify the Owner Trustee and the
Lessee of each request for a registration of transfer of an Equipment Note. The
Indenture Trustee will promptly cancel and destroy all Equipment Notes
surrendered for transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section.
Section 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Equipment Notes. If
any Equipment Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Owner
Trustee shall, upon the written request of the holder of such Equipment Note,
issue, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in replacement
thereof, a new Equipment Note of the same series in the form set forth in
Section 2.01, payable to the same holder in the same principal amount, of the
same maturity, with the same payment schedule, bearing the same interest rate
and dated the same date as the Equipment Note so mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen. The Indenture Trustee shall make a notation on each new Equipment Note
of the amount of all payments or prepayments of principal and interest
theretofore made on the Equipment Note so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
and the date to which interest on such old Equipment Note has been paid. If the
Equipment Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Equipment Note shall be
surrendered to the Indenture Trustee and forwarded to the Owner Trustee by the
Indenture Trustee. If the
-10-
15
Equipment Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the holder of
such Equipment Note shall furnish to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee harmless and evidence satisfactory to the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such
Equipment Note and of the ownership thereof.
Section 2.09. Payment of Transfer Taxes. Upon the transfer of any
Equipment Note or Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 2.07, the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee may require from the party requesting such new Equipment
Note or Equipment Notes payment of a sum to reimburse the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee for, or to provide funds for the payment of, any tax or other
governmental charge in connection therewith.
Section 2.10. Prepayments. (a) Each Equipment Note shall be prepaid in
whole or in part by the Owner Trustee on a Rent Payment Date (or, in the
circumstance provided in the last sentence of Section 10.3 of the Lease, on the
Termination Date) upon at least 25 days' prior notice from the Owner Trustee (or
the Lessee on its behalf) to the Indenture Trustee in the event that the Lease
as applicable to any Unit or Units related to such Equipment Note is terminated
pursuant to Section 10 thereof, at a price equal to the sum of (i) as to
principal thereof, an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the
unpaid principal amount of such Equipment Note as at the date of such prepayment
(after deducting therefrom the principal installment, if any, made on or prior
to the date of such prepayment) by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the Equipment Cost of such Unit or Units and the denominator of which shall be
the aggregate Equipment Cost of all Units included in the Indenture Estate under
the related Indenture Supplement immediately prior to the date of such
prepayment, (ii) as to interest, the aggregate amount of interest accrued and
unpaid in respect of the principal amount to be prepaid pursuant to clause (i)
above on the date of such payment (after giving effect to the application of any
Basic Rent paid on or prior to the date of such prepayment) and (iii) the
Make-Whole Amount, if any, applicable in respect of the principal amount to be
prepaid pursuant to clause (i) above on the date of such prepayment.

Units related to such Equipment Note if such Unit or Units are not replaced
pursuant to Section 11.2(i) of the Lease, or in the event Lessee shall be
required to settle for 10 or more Units on the date of payment therefor
determined pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Lease, such prepayment shall be made
on such date, at a price equal to the sum of (i) as to principal thereof, an
amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of such Equipment Note as at such prepayment date (after
deducting therefrom the principal installment, if any, made on such date) by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Equipment Cost of such Unit or
Units and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate Equipment Cost of all
Units included in the Indenture Estate under the related Indenture Supplement
immediately prior to such date, and (ii) as to interest, the aggregate amount of
interest accrued and unpaid in respect of the principal amount to be prepaid
pursuant to clause (i) above to but not including the date of prepayment after
giving effect to the application of any Basic Rent paid on or prior to the date
of such prepayment, but without the payment of any Make-Whole Amount.
(c) Unless Lessee shall have elected to assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Owner Trustee under this Indenture in respect of the
Equipment Notes, each Equipment Note shall be prepaid in
-11-
16
whole by the Owner Trustee on the Business Day specified by Lessee to Owner
Trustee and Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 6.9 of the
Participation Agreement, in the event that Lessee exercises the purchase option
under Section 6.9 of the Participation Agreement with respect to the Equipment,
at a price equal to the sum of (i) as to principal thereof, an amount equal to
the unpaid principal amount of such Equipment Note as at the date of any
prepayment under Section 6.9 of the Participation Agreement (after deducting
therefrom the principal installment, if any, made on the prepayment date), (ii)
as to interest, the aggregate amount of interest accrued and unpaid in respect
of the principal amount to be prepaid pursuant to clause (i) above on the date
of such prepayment after giving effect to the application of any Basic Rent paid
on or prior to the date of such prepayment, and (iii) the Make-Whole Amount, if
any, applicable in respect of the principal amount to be prepaid pursuant to
clause (i) above on the date of such payment.
(d) Unless Lessee shall have elected to assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Owner Trustee under this Indenture in respect of the
Equipment Notes, each Equipment Note shall be prepaid in whole or in part by the
Owner Trustee on the Early Purchase Date in the event that Lessee exercises the
purchase option under Section 22.1 of the Lease with respect to the Equipment,
at a price equal to the sum of (i) as to principal thereof, an amount equal to
the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
such Equipment Note as at the Early Purchase Date (after deducting therefrom the
principal installment, if any, made on the prepayment date) by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the Equipment Cost of such Unit or Units to be
purchased and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate Equipment Cost of
all Units included in the Indenture Estate immediately prior to the date of such
prepayment and (ii) as to interest, the aggregate amount of interest accrued and
unpaid in respect of the principal amount to be prepaid pursuant to clause (i)
above on the date of such prepayment after giving effect to the application of
any Basic Rent paid on or prior to the date of such prepayment, but without the
payment of any Make-Whole Amount.
(e) On the Refunding Date specified by the Lessee to the Owner Trustee
and to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 10.2(f) of the
Participation Agreement, all Equipment Notes shall be prepaid in whole but not
in part on such Refunding Date, in the event of a refunding or refinancing
pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Participation Agreement, at a price in addition
to any other amounts due to the holders of the Equipment Notes under this
Indenture equal to the unpaid principal amount thereof together with accrued but
unpaid interest thereon, plus the Make-Whole Amount, if any.
(f) The Indenture Trustee shall give prompt notice of any prepayment of
any of the Equipment Notes to all holders of such series of the Equipment Notes
as soon as the Indenture Trustee shall have knowledge that such prepayment is to
occur, which notice shall specify the Equipment Note or Notes to be prepaid, the
principal amount of such Equipment Note or Notes to be prepaid and the date of
prepayment, which date shall be not less than 25 days after the date of such
notice.
Section 2.11. Equally and Ratably Secured. All Equipment Notes at any
time outstanding under this Indenture shall be equally and ratably secured
hereby without preference, priority or distinction on account of the date or
dates or the actual time or times of the issue or maturity of such Equipment
Notes so that all Equipment Notes of any series at any time issued and
outstanding hereunder shall have the same rights, Liens and preferences under
and by virtue of this Indenture.

of all Equipment Notes held by each such holder, plus the accrued but
unpaid interest thereon to the date of distribution, bears to the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Equipment Notes, plus the
accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the date of distribution; and
Fourth, the balance, if any, of such payments or amounts
remaining thereafter shall be deemed released from the Lien of the
Indenture and shall be distributed to the Owner Trustee for

insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity, and
except as limited by applicable laws which may affect the remedies

if such failure is not remedied within a period of 30 days after there has been
given to the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Lessee by the
Indenture Trustee or by any holder of an Equipment Note a written notice
specifying such failure and requiring it to be remedied provided that, if such
failure is capable of being remedied, and the remedy requires an action other
than, or in addition to, the payment of money, no such failure (other than one
relating to the payment of such money) shall constitute an Indenture Event of
Default hereunder for a period of 60 days after receipt of such notice so long
as Owner Trustee or Owner Participant, as the case may be, is diligently
proceeding to remedy such failure and shall in fact remedy such failure within
such period; or
(d) any representation or warranty made by the Owner Trustee (except to
the extent made with respect to Wilmington Trust Company, in its individual

Trustee or the Loan Participant in connection herewith or therewith or pursuant
hereto or thereto, shall prove at any time to have been incorrect in any
material respect as of the date made and such incorrectness shall remain
material and continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after there has been
given to the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant a written notice specifying
such incorrectness, stating that such incorrectness is a default hereunder and
requiring it to be remedied by the Indenture Trustee or by any holder of an
Equipment Note provided that, if such incorrectness is capable of being
remedied, no such incorrectness shall constitute an Indenture Event of Default
hereunder for a period of 60 days after receipt of such notice so long as Owner
Trustee or Owner Participant, as the case may be, is diligently proceeding to
remedy such incorrectness and shall in fact remedy such incorrectness within
such period; provided that such incorrect representation or warranty shall be
deemed to be remedied only after all adverse consequences thereof, if any, have
been remedied; or

thereafter, or if, under the provisions of any law providing for reorganization
or winding-up of corporations which may apply to the Owner Trustee (as Owner
Trustee and not in its individual capacity) or the Owner Participant, any court
of competent jurisdiction shall assume jurisdiction, custody or control of the
Indenture Estate, the Owner Trustee (as Owner Trustee and not in its individual
capacity) or the Owner Participant or of any substantial part of its property
and such jurisdiction, custody or control shall remain in force unrelinquished,
unstayed or unterminated for a period of 60 days.

solely from the bankruptcy, reorganization, compromise, arrangement, insolvency,
readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation of Owner Trustee solely in its
individual capacity, and can be cured by the appointment of a substitute Owner
Trustee without adversely affecting the rights of the Indenture Trustee
hereunder, then Indenture Trustee shall refrain from the exercise of any of the

Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and upon
the directions of a Majority in Interest shall, subject to Section 5.04, declare
the unpaid principal amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding and accrued
interest thereon to be due and payable. At any time after the Indenture 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 of the Indenture Estate
pursuant to this Article V, a Majority in Interest, by written notice to the
Owner Trustee, the Lessee and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and thereby annul its consequences if: (i) there has been paid to or
deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to pay all overdue
installments of interest on all of the Equipment Notes, and the principal of and
Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Equipment Notes that have become due otherwise
than by such declaration of acceleration, (ii) the rescission would not conflict
with any judgment or decree, and (iii) all other Indenture Defaults and
Indenture Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal or interest on
any of the Equipment Notes that have become due solely because of such
acceleration, have been cured or waived.
Section 5.03. Remedies with Respect to Indenture Estate. (a) After an
Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and so long as such Indenture
Event of Default shall be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture
Trustee, as assignee hereunder of the Lease or as mortgagee hereunder of the
Equipment or otherwise, may, and when required pursuant to the provisions of
Article VI hereof shall, subject to Sections 5.04 and 5.05, exercise any or all
of the rights and powers and pursue any and all of the remedies pursuant to
Section 15 of the Lease and this Article V and may recover judgment in its own
name as Indenture Trustee against the Indenture Estate and may take possession
of all or any part of
-18-
23
the Indenture Estate, and may exclude the Owner Trustee and the Owner
Participant and all persons claiming under any of them wholly or partly
therefrom; provided, however, that nothing in this Indenture shall permit or
require the Indenture Trustee to take any action contrary to, or to disturb, the
Lessee's rights under the Lease, except in accordance with the provisions of the
Lease. The Indenture Trustee, after the occurrence of any Indenture Event of
Default, shall give the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee 10 Business
Days' prior notice of the date before which the Indenture Trustee shall not
exercise any remedy which would result in the exclusion of the Owner Trustee
from the Indenture Estate or any part thereof; provided, however, such notice
period shall not be in addition to any other notice period provided herein and;
provided, further, that the failure to give such notice shall have no effect on
any action taken by the Indenture Trustee.
(b) Subject to Section 5.04 and Section 5.05, the Indenture Trustee
may, if at the time such action may be lawful and always subject to compliance
with any mandatory legal requirements, either with or without taking possession,
and either before or after taking possession, and without instituting any legal
proceedings whatsoever, and having first given notice of such sale by registered
mail to the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Lessee once at least 20
days prior to the date of such sale or the date on which the Indenture Trustee
enters into a binding contract for a private sale, and any other notice which
may be required by law, sell and dispose of the Indenture Estate, or any part
thereof, or interest therein, at public auction to the highest bidder or at
private sale in one lot as an entirety or in separate lots, and either for cash
or on credit and on such terms as the Indenture Trustee may determine, and at
any place (whether or not it be the location of the Indenture Estate or any part
thereof) and time designated in the notice above referred to; provided, however,
that, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Indenture
Trustee shall not sell any of the Indenture Estate or exercise any other
remedies which would result in the exclusion of the Owner Trustee from the
Indenture Estate or any part thereof unless a declaration of acceleration has
been made pursuant to Section 5.02; provided, further, that, in the event the
circumstances contemplated by Section 5.04(c) exist, the Indenture Trustee shall
not be allowed to deliver the notice required by this Section 5.03(b) until the
earlier of (x) such time as such circumstances no longer exist or (y) the
expiration of the 90 day period set forth in Section 5.04(c). Any such public
sale or sales may be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place appointed for such sale or sales, or for any such adjourned sale or sales,
without further notice, and the Indenture Trustee or the holder or holders of
any Equipment Notes, or any interest therein, may bid and become the purchaser
at any such public sale. The Indenture Trustee may exercise such right without
possession or production of the Equipment Notes or proof of ownership thereof,
and as representative of the holders of each series may exercise such right
without including the holders as parties to any suit or proceeding relating to
foreclosure of any property in the Indenture Estate. The Owner Trustee hereby
irrevocably constitutes the Indenture Trustee the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of the Owner Trustee (in the name of the Owner Trustee or
otherwise) for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or
delivery for enforcement of the Lien of this Indenture in accordance with the
terms hereof following the occurrence and continuance of an Indenture Event of
Default, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale or otherwise, to
execute and deliver all such bills of sale, assignments and other instruments as
the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or appropriate, with full power of
substitution, the Owner Trustee hereby ratifying and confirming all that such
attorney or any substitute shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, if
so requested by the Indenture Trustee or any purchaser, the Owner Trustee shall
ratify and confirm any such sale, assignment, transfer or delivery, by executing
and delivering to the Indenture 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.
-19-
24
(c) Subject to Section 5.04 and Section 5.05, the Owner Trustee agrees,
to the fullest extent that it lawfully may, that, in case one or more of the
Indenture Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, in
every such case, the Indenture Trustee may take possession of all or any part of
the Indenture Estate and may exclude the Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant
and all persons claiming under any of them wholly or partly therefrom. At the
request of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee shall promptly execute and
deliver to the Indenture Trustee such instruments of title and other documents
as the Indenture Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to enable the Indenture
Trustee or an agent or representative designated by the Indenture Trustee, at
such time or times and place or places as the Indenture Trustee may specify, to
obtain possession of all or any part of the Indenture Estate. If the Owner
Trustee shall fail for any reason to execute and deliver such instruments and
documents to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may pursue all or part
of the Indenture Estate wherever it may be found and may enter any of the
premises of the Lessee wherever the Indenture Estate may be or be supposed to be
and search for the Indenture Estate and, subject to Section 5.05, take
possession of and remove the Indenture Estate. Upon every such taking of
possession, the Indenture Trustee may, from time to time, at the expense of the
Indenture Estate, make all such expenditures for maintenance, insurance,
repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to any of the
Indenture Estate, as it may deem proper. In each such case, the Indenture
Trustee shall have the right to use, operate, store, control or manage the
Indenture Estate, and to carry on the business and to exercise all rights and
powers of the Owner Trustee relating to the Indenture Estate, as the Indenture
Trustee shall deem best, including the right to enter into any and all such
agreements with respect to the maintenance, operation, leasing or storage of the
Indenture Estate or any part thereof as the Indenture Trustee may determine; and
the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to collect and receive all tolls, rents,
revenues, issues, income, products and profits of the Indenture Estate and every
part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Indenture Trustee
under any provision of this Indenture to collect and receive all cash held by,
or required to be deposited with, the Indenture Trustee hereunder. Such tolls,
rents, revenues, issues, income, products and profits shall be applied to pay
the expenses of holding and operating the Indenture Estate and of conducting the
business thereof, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations,
additions and improvements, and to make all payments which the Indenture Trustee
may be required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance
or other proper charges upon the Indenture Estate or any part thereof (including
the employment of engineers and accountants to examine, inspect and make reports
upon the properties and books and records of the Indenture Estate), and all
other payments which the Indenture Trustee may be required or authorized to make
under any provision of this Indenture, as well as just and reasonable
compensation for the services of the Indenture Trustee, and of all persons
properly engaged and employed by the Indenture Trustee, including the reasonable
expenses of the Indenture Trustee.
(d) If an Indenture Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the
Indenture Trustee shall have obtained possession of a Unit, the Indenture
Trustee shall not be obligated to use or operate such Unit or cause such Unit to
be used or operated directly or indirectly by itself or through agents or other
representatives or to lease, license or otherwise permit or provide for the use
or operation of such Unit or Equipment by any other Person unless (i) the
Indenture Trustee shall have been able to obtain insurance in kinds, at rates
and in amounts satisfactory to it in its reasonable discretion to protect the
Indenture Estate and the Indenture Trustee, as trustee and individually, against
any and all liability for loss or damage to such Unit and for public liability
and property damage resulting from use or operation of such Unit and (ii) funds
are available in the Indenture Estate to pay for all such insurance or, in lieu
of such insurance, the Indenture Trustee is furnished with indemnification from
the holders of the Equipment Notes or any
-20-
25
other Person upon terms and in amounts satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee in
its reasonable discretion to protect the Indenture Estate and the Indenture
Trustee, as trustee and individually, against any and all such liabilities.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, so long as the Pass
Through Trustee under any Pass Through Trust Agreement is the registered holder
of any Equipment Note issued hereunder, the Indenture Trustee is not authorized
or empowered to acquire title to any Indenture Estate or take any action with
respect to any Indenture Estate so acquired by it if such acquisition or action
would cause the trust created by the Trust Agreement or the Pass Through Trust
Agreement to fail to qualify as a "grantor trust" for federal income tax
purposes.
Section 5.04. Right to Cure; Option to Purchase; Etc.
(a) Right to Cure. (A) If there shall occur a Lease Event of Default in
respect of the payment of Basic Rent pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Lease,
then as long as no other Indenture Event of Default (other than arising from
such failure to pay Basic Rent or which is concurrently being cured pursuant to
this Section 5.04(a)) shall have occurred and be continuing the Owner
Participant or the Owner Trustee may (but need not) pay to the Indenture
Trustee, at any time prior to the expiration of a period of 10 Business Days (a
"10-Day Period") after receiving written notice of such default from the
Indenture Trustee (prior to the expiration of which 10-Day Period the Indenture
Trustee shall not declare the Lease in default pursuant to Section 15 thereof or
exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies pursuant to such Section 15 or
this Article V), an amount equal to the full amount of such payment of Basic
Rent, together with any interest due thereon on account of the delayed payment
thereof, and such payment by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee shall be
deemed to cure any Indenture Event of Default which arose from such failure of
the Lessee (but such cure shall not relieve the Lessee of any of its obligations
and shall not cure any other Indenture Event of Default) or (B) if there shall
occur a Lease Event of Default in respect of any other payment of Rent (other
than Basic Rent) or a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, which Lease Event of Default is curable by the payment of money (it
being understood that actions such as the obtaining of insurance or the
procuring of maintenance services can be so effected), then as long as no other
Indenture Event of Default (other than arising from such Lease Event of Default
or which is concurrently being cured pursuant to this Section 5.04(a)) shall
have occurred and be continuing the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee may
(but need not) pay to the Indenture Trustee, at any time prior to the expiration
of a period of 30 days (a "30-Day Period") after receiving written notice of
such Lease Event of Default from the Indenture Trustee (prior to the expiration
of which 30-Day Period the Indenture Trustee shall not declare the Lease in
default pursuant to Section 15 thereof or exercise any of the rights, powers or
remedies pursuant to such Section 15 or this Article V), an amount equal to the
full amount of such payment of Rent, together with any interest due thereon on
account of the delayed payment thereof or otherwise make such payment as shall
effect such cure, and such payment by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee
shall be deemed to cure any Indenture Event of Default which arose from such
Lease Event of Default (but such cure shall not relieve the Lessee of any of its
obligations); provided however, Owner Participant and Owner Trustee,
collectively, shall not be entitled to (x) cure more than three consecutive or
six total defaults in the payment of Basic Rent, or (y) cure other Lease Events
of Default if the outstanding amount which has been paid by the Owner
Participant or the Owner Trustee and not reimbursed to such parties by the
Lessee pursuant to this clause (y) exceeds in the aggregate $1,000,000, as
adjusted annually for inflation as of January 1 of each calendar year, by the
percentage change in the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, All Cities,
as compared to the
-21-
26
prior calendar year as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United
States Department of Labor. Upon any cure by the Owner Participant or the Owner
Trustee in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 5.04(a), the Owner
Participant or the Owner Trustee shall, to the extent of their respective
payments, be subrogated to the rights of the Indenture Trustee, as assignee
hereunder of the Owner Trustee to receive such payment of Rent (and any interest
due thereon on account of the delayed payment thereof) or right of
reimbursement, and shall be entitled to receive such payment upon its receipt by
the Indenture Trustee as aforesaid (but in each case only if all amounts of
principal and interest at the time due and payable on the Equipment Notes shall
have been paid in full); provided that neither the Owner Participant nor the
Owner Trustee shall attempt to recover any such amount paid by it on behalf of
the Lessee pursuant to this Section 5.04(a) except by demanding of the Lessee
payment of such amount or by commencing an action against the Lessee to require
the payment of such amount.
(b) Option to Purchase Equipment Notes. In the event that (i) at any
time one or more Lease Events of Default shall have occurred and any such Lease
Event of Default shall have continued for a period of 180 days or more during
which time the Equipment Notes could, but shall not, have been accelerated
pursuant to Section 5.02, (ii) the Equipment Notes shall have been accelerated
pursuant to Section 5.02, (iii) the Indenture Trustee, as assignee hereunder of
the Lease, shall have exercised (or given notice of its intention to exercise)
any remedy in respect of the Units under the Lease, or (iv) the Indenture
Trustee shall commence foreclosure of the Lien of this Indenture or otherwise
exercise remedies which would result in the exclusion of the Owner Trustee from
the Indenture Estate or any part thereof (or give notice of its intention to
foreclose or exercise remedies), then and in any such case, so long as the
Lessee and its Affiliates do not individually or in the aggregate own more than
20% of the Beneficial Interest, upon 30 days' notice from the Owner Trustee to
the Indenture Trustee designating a date of purchase (the "Purchase Date") which
shall be the second day of any month, each holder of an Equipment Note agrees
that it will, upon and subject to receipt by the Indenture Trustee from the
Owner Trustee or its nominee of an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of all Equipment Notes, together with accrued interest thereon
to the Purchase Date, plus all other sums then due and payable to such holder of
an Equipment Note hereunder, but, except in the case of purchase of the
Equipment Notes pursuant to clause (iv) above if the right to exercise any
remedies arises because of an Indenture Event of Default arising solely from
action attributable to the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant, without any
Make-Whole Amount, forthwith sell, assign, transfer and convey to the Owner
Trustee or its nominee on the Purchase Date all of the right, title and interest
of such holder in and to the Equipment Notes then held by such holder, and the
Owner Trustee or its nominee shall assume all of such holder's obligations under
the Participation Agreement; provided that the Owner Trustee or its nominee must
purchase all and not less than all of the Equipment Notes then outstanding.
(c) Restrictions on Certain Actions. Notwithstanding any provision of
this Indenture to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee shall not foreclose the
Lien of this Indenture or otherwise exercise remedies hereunder which would
result in the exclusion of the Owner Trustee from the Indenture Estate or any
part thereof as a result of an Indenture Event of Default that constitutes or
occurs solely by virtue of one or more Lease Events of Default (at a time when
no other Indenture Event of Default unrelated to any Lease Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing) unless the Indenture Trustee as security
assignee of the Owner Trustee has proceeded or is then currently proceeding, to
the extent it is then entitled to do so hereunder and under the Lease and is not
then stayed or otherwise prevented from doing so by operation of law, to
exercise one (or more, as it shall in its good faith discretion determine) of
the comparable remedies provided for in Section 15 of the Lease with respect to
the Equipment, provided that
-22-
27
in the event the Indenture Trustee shall be so stayed or otherwise prevented
from exercising such remedies under the Lease, it shall in any event refrain
from so foreclosing or exercising such other remedies hereunder for a period of
not less than 90 days, and further provided that in the event the Lessee as
debtor in a proceeding under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any trustee
appointed for the Lessee as debtor in any such bankruptcy case) shall have
affirmed the Lease and no Lease Event of Default other than as specified in
Section 14(g) or Section 14(h) of the Lease has occurred and is continuing, with
the approval of the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over such case, under
Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any amended or successor version thereof,
the Indenture Trustee shall refrain from so foreclosing or exercising such other
remedies hereunder.
Section 5.05. Rights of Lessee. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 5.03, so long as no Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, neither the Indenture
Trustee nor the Owner Trustee shall take any action contrary to, or disturb, the
Lessee's rights under the Lease, except in accordance with the provisions of the
Lease, including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive all monies due
and payable to it in accordance with the provisions of the Lease and (ii) the
Lessee's rights to possession and use of, and of quiet enjoyment of, the
Equipment.
Section 5.06. Waiver of Existing Defaults. A Majority in Interest by
notice to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of all holders of the Equipment Notes
may waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default: (i)
in the payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on
any Equipment Note, or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which
under Article X hereof cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
holder of each Equipment Note affected. Upon any such waiver, such default shall
cease to exist, and any Indenture Event of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
ARTICLE VI.
DUTIES OF THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
Section 6.01. Action upon Indenture Event of Default. If any payments
of Interim Interest or Basic Rent or payments of the principal or interest or
Make-Whole Amount, if any, on the Equipment Notes due and payable on the Interim
Interest Payment Date or any Rent Payment Date shall not have been paid in full
on such Interim Interest Payment Date or Rent Payment Date, the Indenture
Trustee shall give telephonic notice within one Business Day (followed by prompt
written notice) to the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, the Loan
Participant and the Lessee specifying the amount and nature of such deficiency
in payment. In the event the Indenture Trustee shall have knowledge of an
Indenture Event of Default or an Indenture Default, the Indenture Trustee shall
give prompt notice of such Indenture Event of Default or Indenture Default to
the Lessee, the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Loan Participant by
telegram, telex, or telephone (to be promptly confirmed in writing). In the
event the Owner Trustee shall have knowledge of an Indenture Event of Default or
an Indenture Default, the Owner Trustee shall give notice of such Indenture
Event of Default or Indenture Default in the same manner to the Lessee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Loan Participant. Subject to
the terms of Section 6.03, the Indenture Trustee shall take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Indenture Event of Default
or Indenture Default as the Indenture Trustee shall be instructed in writing by
-23-
28
a Majority in Interest. If the Indenture Trustee shall not have received
instructions as above provided within 20 days after the mailing of notice of
such Indenture Event of Default or such Indenture Default to the Loan
Participant by the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not
be obligated to, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Indenture Event of Default or Indenture Default as it shall
determine to be advisable in the best interests of the Loan Participant. Any
provision of this Section 6.01 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indenture
Trustee shall not declare the Lease to be in default solely in respect of the
Lessee's failure to make any payment of Basic Rent within 10 Business Days after
the same shall have become due, unless the 10-Day Period within which, pursuant
to Section 5.04(a), the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee are entitled to
cure such failure shall have expired. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the
absence of actual knowledge, neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee
shall be deemed to have knowledge of an Indenture Event of Default (except, in
the case of the Indenture Trustee, the failure of the Lessee to pay any
installment of Basic Rent that is required to be paid directly to the Indenture
Trustee within the 10 Business Days after the same shall become due or the
failure of the Lessee to maintain insurance as required under Section 12 of the
Lease if the Indenture Trustee shall receive written notice thereof from an
insurer or insurance broker) unless notified in writing by the Lessee, the Owner
Trustee, one or more Loan Participants or the Owner Participant; and "actual
knowledge" (as used in the foregoing clause) of the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee shall mean actual knowledge of an officer in the Corporate
Trust Administration of the Owner Trustee or the Corporate Trust Department of
the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be.
Section 6.02. Action upon Instructions. Subject to the terms of
Sections 6.01 and 6.03, upon the written instructions at any time and from time
to time of a Majority in Interest, the Indenture Trustee shall take such of the
following actions as may be specified in such instructions (subject to the
rights of the other parties thereto, except to the extent assigned hereunder):
(i) subject to and solely to the extent permitted by the terms hereof and of the
Lease, give such notice, direction or consent, or exercise such right, remedy or
power hereunder or under the Lease or in respect of any part or all of the
Indenture Estate or take such other action as shall be specified in such
instructions; and (ii) after an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred
and so long as such Indenture Event of Default shall be continuing, approve as
satisfactory to it all matters required by the terms of the Lease to be
satisfactory to the Owner Trustee, it being understood that without the written
instructions of a Majority in Interest the Indenture Trustee shall not take any
action described in clauses (i) and (ii) above.
Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term with
respect to any Unit under the Lease and after payment of the portion of the
principal of, together with interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on the
Equipment Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, or, if and so
long as no Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
upon the transfer by the Owner Trustee to the Lessee or its designee of any Unit
pursuant to Section 10 or 11 of the Lease or the retention by the Owner Trustee
of any Unit pursuant to Section 10.3 of the Lease, then the Indenture Trustee
shall in either such case, upon the written request of the Owner Trustee, and
receipt by the Indenture Trustee of funds necessary to prepay the Equipment
Notes required to be prepaid in connection with such purchase, termination,
retention or Event of Loss, execute and deliver to, or as directed in writing
by, the Owner Trustee an appropriate instrument (in due form for recording)
furnished by the Owner Trustee or the Lessee releasing such property from the
Lien of this Indenture.
Section 6.03. Indemnification. (a) The Indenture Trustee shall not be
required to take any action or refrain from taking any action under Section 6.01
(other than the first two sentences thereof) or 6.02
-24-
29
or Article V if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of
such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk is not reasonably
assured to it. The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action
under Section 6.01 or 6.02 or Article V, nor shall any other provision of this
Indenture be deemed to impose a duty on the Indenture Trustee to take any
action, if the Indenture Trustee shall have been advised in writing by
independent counsel that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or of the
Lease or the Participation Agreement, or is otherwise contrary to law.
(b) Each Loan Participant may, but shall not be required to,
participate in any indemnification of the Indenture Trustee given pursuant to
paragraph (a) of this Section 6.03. Each Loan Participant so participating shall
be entitled to reimbursement for such participation in accordance with Article
III.
Section 6.04. No Duties Except as Specified in Indenture or
Instructions. The Indenture Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to
manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Equipment or
any other part of the Indenture Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from
taking any action under, or in connection with, this Indenture, the Lease, or
the Participation Agreement, except as expressly provided by the terms of this
Indenture or as expressly provided in written instructions received pursuant to
the terms of Section 6.01 or 6.02; and no implied duties or obligations shall be
read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee. Each of the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own
cost and expense, promptly take such action as may be necessary duly to
discharge any liens or encumbrances on any part of the Indenture Estate, or on
any properties of the Owner Trustee assigned, pledged or mortgaged as part of
the Indenture Estate, which result from claims against it in its individual
capacity not related to the ownership of the Equipment (in the case of the Owner
Trustee, whose obligation in such instance shall be in its individual capacity),
administration of the Indenture Estate (in the case of the Indenture Trustee) or
any other transaction under this Indenture or the Trust Agreement or any
document included in the Indenture Estate.
Section 6.05. No Action Except under Lease, Indenture or Instructions.
The Indenture Trustee agrees that it will not manage, control, use, sell,
dispose of or otherwise deal with the Equipment or other property constituting
part of the Indenture Estate except (i) as required by the terms of the Lease
and the Participation Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the powers granted to,
or the authority conferred upon, the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Indenture, or (iii) in accordance with the express terms hereof or with written
instructions pursuant to Section 6.01 or 6.02.
Section 6.06. Disposition of Units. At any time and from time to time
prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, any Unit for which the provisions of
Section 11.4(a) of the Lease has been satisfied may be disposed of in accordance
with the provisions of Section 11.4(a) of the Lease, and the Owner Trustee
shall, from time to time, direct the Indenture Trustee to, provided no Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, execute and deliver to
it, or as directed in writing by the Owner Trustee, an appropriate instrument
furnished by the Owner Trustee or the Lessee releasing such Unit from the Lien
of the Indenture, but only in respect of such Unit.
Section 6.07. Indenture Supplements for Replacements. In the event of a
Replacement Unit being substituted as contemplated by Section 11.2 of the Lease,
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee agree for the benefit of the holders
of the Equipment Notes and the Lessee, subject to compliance by the Lessee with
its obligations set forth in Section 11 of the Lease, to execute and deliver an
Indenture Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto and, provided
no Lease Event of Default or Lease
-25-
30
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, execute and deliver to the Lessee
an appropriate instrument releasing the Unit being replaced from the Lien of the
Indenture.
Section 6.08. Effect of Replacements. In the event of the substitution
of a Replacement Unit, all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Unit or
Units being replaced shall be applicable to such Replacement Unit with the same
force and effect as if such Replacement Unit was the same Unit being replaced.
Section 6.09. Withholding Taxes. The Indenture Trustee, as agent for
the Owner Trustee, shall exclude and withhold from each payment of principal,
Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest and other amounts due hereunder or under
the Equipment Notes any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required
by law. The Indenture 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 in respect of
any of the Equipment Notes, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to
the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the holders of such
Equipment Notes, 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 holder of an Equipment Note appropriate
documentation showing the payment thereof, together with such additional
documentary evidence as such holders may reasonably request from time to time.
Section 6.10. Lessee's Right of Quiet Enjoyment. Notwithstanding any of
the provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, so long as Lessee is in
compliance with its obligations under the Lease (including applicable grace
periods) and no Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
unremedied, the Indenture Trustee will comply with Section 8 of the
Participation Agreement to the same extent as if it were the Lessor under the
Lease. Each holder of an Equipment Note, by its acceptance thereof, consents in
all respects to the terms of the Lease and the Participation Agreement and
agrees to the provisions of this Section 6.10.
Section 6.11. Compensation and Indemnity. The Owner Trustee shall pay
to the Indenture Trustee, from time to time, on demand, all funds received for

Indenture Trustee hereunder in the trusts hereunder applicable to it with like
effect as if originally named the Indenture Trustee herein; but nevertheless,

estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor Indenture
Trustee, and such Indenture Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay

converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee
shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate
trust business of the Indenture Trustee may be transferred, shall, subject to
