[REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT]
Section 2.02 Making the Advances. (a) Each "Interest Advance"
shall be made in a single Borrowing by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a
written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex I,
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, such Interest Advance in an
amount not exceeding the Maximum Available Commitment at such time and shall be
used solely for the payment when due of interest on the Class A-1 Certificates
at the Stated Interest Rate therefor in accordance with Section 3.6(a) of the
Intercreditor Agreement. Each Interest Advance made hereunder shall
automatically reduce the Maximum Available Commitment and the amount available
to be borrowed hereunder by subsequent Advances by the amount of such Interest
Advance (subject to reinstatement as provided in the next sentence). Upon
repayment to the Liquidity Provider in full or in part of the amount of any
Interest Advance made pursuant to this Section 2.02(a), together with accrued
interest thereon (as provided herein), the Maximum Available Commitment shall be
reinstated by the amount of such repaid Interest Advance, but not to exceed the
Maximum Commitment; provided, however, that the Maximum Available Commitment
shall not be so reinstated at any time if (i) a Liquidity Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing and (ii) there is a Performing Equipment Note
Deficiency.
(b) A "Non-Extension Advance" shall be made in a single
Borrowing if this Agreement is not extended in accordance with Section 3.6(d) of
the Intercreditor Agreement (unless a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace
this Agreement shall have been delivered to the Borrower as contemplated by said
Section 3.6(d) within the time period specified in such Section) by delivery to
the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in
substantially the form of Annex II attached hereto, signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the Maximum Available Commitment
at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account in
accordance with said Section 3.6(d) and Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor
Agreement.
(c) A "Downgrade Advance" shall be made in a single
Borrowing upon a downgrading of the Liquidity Provider's relevant debt rating
issued by either Rating Agency below the applicable Threshold Rating (as
provided for in Section 3.6(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement) unless a
Replacement Liquidity Facility shall have been delivered to the Borrower in
accordance with said Section 3.6(c), by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a
written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex
III, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the
Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class
A-1 Cash Collateral Account in accordance with said Section 3.6(c) and Section
3.6(f). Upon such downgrading, the Liquidity Provider shall promptly deliver
notice thereof to the Borrower, the Trustee and United.
(d) A "Final Advance" shall be made in a single Borrowing
upon the receipt by the Borrower of a Termination Notice from the Liquidity
Provider pursuant to Section 6.01, by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a
written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex IV,
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an
8
12
[REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT]
amount equal to the Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used
to fund the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account (in accordance with Section 3.6(f)
and Section 3.6(i) of the Intercreditor Agreement).
(e) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice in writing (a
"Notice of Borrowing") in substantially the form required by Section 2.02(a),
2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d), as the case may be, given by the Borrower to the
Liquidity Provider. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in
respect of any Borrowing no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on a Business
Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02
with respect to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall, before 4:00
p.m. (Chicago time) on the date of such Borrowing or on such later Business Day
specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing, make available for the
account of its Lending Office, in U.S. dollars and in immediately available
funds, the amount of such Borrowing to be paid to the Borrower in accordance
with its payment instructions. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the
Borrower in respect of any Borrowing after 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on a
Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section
4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall, before
11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the first Business Day following the day of receipt
of such Notice of Borrowing or on such later Business Day specified by the
Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing, make available to the Borrower, in
accordance with its payment instructions, in U.S. dollars and in immediately
available funds, the amount of such Borrowing. Payments of proceeds of a
Borrowing shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
Borrower in accordance with such wire transfer instructions as the Borrower
shall furnish from time to time to the Liquidity Provider for such purpose. Each
Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. Each
Notice of Borrowing shall be effective upon delivery of a copy thereof to the
Liquidity Provider's New York Branch at the address specified in Section 7.02.
(f) Upon the making of any Advance requested pursuant to
a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the Borrower's payment instructions,
the Liquidity Provider shall be fully discharged of its obligation hereunder
with respect to such Notice of Borrowing, and the Liquidity Provider shall not
thereafter be obligated to make any further Advances hereunder in respect of
such Notice of Borrowing to the Borrower or to any other Person. If the
Liquidity Provider makes an Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing
before 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the second Business Day after the date of
payment specified in said Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Provider shall have
fully discharged its obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an
event of default shall not have occurred hereunder. Following the making of any
Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), Section 2.02(c) or Section 2.02(d) to fund
the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no
interest in or rights to the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account, such Advance or
any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral
Account; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the
obligations of the Subordination Agent to make the distributions contemplated by
Section 3.6(e) or (f) of the Intercreditor Agreement and provided further, that
9
13
[REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT]
the foregoing shall not affect or impair the rights of the Liquidity Provider to
provide written instructions with respect to the investment and reinvestment of
the Cash Collateral Accounts to the extent provided in Section 2.2(b) of the
Intercreditor Agreement. By paying to the Borrower proceeds of Advances
requested by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
the Liquidity Provider makes no representation as to, and assumes no
responsibility for, the correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount
of the Advances so made and requested.
Section 2.03 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity
Provider the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.
Section 2.04 Automatic Reductions and Termination of the Maximum
Commitment.
(a) Automatic Reductions. Promptly following each date on
which the Required Amount is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool
Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates or otherwise, the Maximum Commitment shall
automatically be reduced to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as
calculated by the Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such
automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment to the Liquidity Provider within
two Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower to furnish any such
notice shall not affect such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment.
(b) Termination. Upon the making of any Provider Advance or
Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the
obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall
automatically and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled
to request any further Borrowing hereunder.
Section 2.05 Repayments of Interest Advances or the Final Advance.
Subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower hereby agrees, without
notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Provider (which
notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be
paid, to the Liquidity Provider on each date on which the Liquidity Provider
shall make an Interest Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to (a) the
amount of such Advance (any such Advance, until repaid, is referred to herein as
an "Unpaid Advance"), plus (b) interest on the amount of each such Unpaid
Advance as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however, that if (i) the
Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or
more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this
Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility
or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Interest Advances have
reduced the Maximum Available Commitment to zero, then such Interest Advances
shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed to have been
changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied Non-Extension Advance,
as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, for the
purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is required to be repaid to
the Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the
10
14
[REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT]
purposes of Section 2.06(b)). The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that
the repayment in full of each Interest Advance and Final Advance on the date
such Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value
given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider.
Section 2.06 Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts
advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the
Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account, invested and withdrawn from the Class A-1
Cash Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.6(c), (d) and (f) of the
Intercreditor Agreement. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider,
on each Regular Distribution Date, commencing on the first Regular Distribution
Date after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the principal amount of
any such Provider Advance as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however, that
amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Class A-1 Cash
Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class A-1
Certificates in accordance with Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement
(the amount of any such withdrawal being (y) in the case of a Downgrade Advance,
an "Applied Downgrade Advance" and (z) in the case of a Non-Extension Advance,
an "Applied Non-Extension Advance" and, together with an Applied Downgrade
Advance, an "Applied Provider Advance") shall thereafter (subject to Section
2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of
determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; and
provided, further, that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the
Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to
Section 6.01, such Provider Advance shall thereafter be treated as a Final
Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable
Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the obligation for repayment
thereof. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, immediately upon the
withdrawal of any amounts from the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account on account
of a reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity
Provider a portion of the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to the
amount of such reduction, plus interest on the principal amount prepaid as
provided in Section 3.07.
(b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance (or any
portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class A-1 Cash
Collateral Account of any amount pursuant to clause third of Section 2.4(b) of
the Intercreditor Agreement, clause third of Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor
Agreement or clause fourth of Section 3.3 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any
such amount being a "Replenishment Amount") for the purpose of replenishing or
increasing the balance thereof up to the amount of the Required Amount at such
time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider
Advances (and of Provider Advances treated as an Interest Advance for purposes
of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall
be automatically reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount and (ii) the
principal amount of all outstanding Unapplied Provider Advances shall be
automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.

[REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT]
(c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity
Facility in replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of
the Intercreditor Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in the Class A-1 Cash
Collateral Account after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance on the
date of such replacement shall be reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only
to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the Liquidity
Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.
Section 2.07 Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the
Intercreditor Agreement. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the
Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement
provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the
Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider
pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without
limitation, Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the
Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof. Amounts so paid to the
Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider to Liquidity
Obligations then due and payable in the order of priority required by the
applicable provisions of Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement or,
if not provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, then in such manner as the
Liquidity Provider shall deem appropriate.
Section 2.08 Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall maintain
in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the
indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and
the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to
time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity
Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations
of the Borrower in respect of Advances.
Section 2.09 Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments to
be made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only from amounts
received by it that constitute Scheduled Payments or Special Payments or
payments under Section 5(b) of any Participation Agreement and Sections 4(j) and
7 of the Note Purchase Agreement, and only to the extent that the Borrower shall
have sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the Borrower to make
payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority
of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The Liquidity
Provider agrees that it shall look solely to such amounts to the extent
available for distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and
this Agreement and that the Borrower, in its individual capacity, is not
personally liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this
Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the Intercreditor
Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account shall be
available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement only to the
extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.6(f) of the
Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 2.10 Extension of Expiry Date. No earlier than the 60th
day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date
(unless such Expiry Date is on or after the
12
16
[REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT]
date that is 15 days after the Final Maturity Date for the Class A-1
Certificates), the Borrower shall request that the Liquidity Provider extend the
Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final
Maturity Date for the Class A-1 Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day
immediately preceding the 364th day occurring after the last day of the Consent
Period (as hereinafter defined). Whether or not the Borrower has made such
request, the Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower, no earlier than the
40th day (or, if earlier, the date of the Liquidity Provider's receipt of such
request, if any, from the Borrower) and no later than the 25th day prior to the
then effective Expiry Date (such period the "Consent Period"), whether, in its
sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date. If the Liquidity
Provider advises the Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period
ends that such Expiry Date shall not be so extended, or fails to irrevocably and
unconditionally advise the Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent
Period ends that such Expiry Date shall be so extended (and, in each case, if
the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section
3.6(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and
after the date on which the Consent Period ends (but prior to the then effective
Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section
2.02(b) and Section 3.6(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
ARTICLE III
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER
Section 3.01 Increased Costs. The Borrower shall pay to the
Liquidity Provider from time to time such amounts as may be necessary to
compensate the Liquidity Provider for any costs incurred by the Liquidity
Provider which are attributable to its making or maintaining any Advances
hereunder or its obligation to make any such Advances hereunder, or any
reduction in any amount receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this
Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such
obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being
herein called "Additional Costs"), resulting from any change after the date of
this Agreement in U.S. federal, state, or municipal, or any foreign laws or
regulations, or the adoption or making after such date of any interpretation,
regulation, directive, guideline, requirement or request whether or not having
the force of law, by any court or governmental or monetary authority charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof (a "Regulatory Change"),
which: (1) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to the Liquidity
Provider under this Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such obligation
(other than Taxes); or (2) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or
other assets of, or any deposits with other liabilities of, the Liquidity
Provider (including any such Advances or such obligation or any deposits
referred to in the definition of LIBOR or related definitions). The Liquidity
Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy
and applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of
its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the
amount of, any amount payable under this Section 3.01
13
17
[REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT]
that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the
Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.
The Liquidity Provider shall notify the Borrower of any event occurring
after the date of this Agreement that shall entitle the Liquidity Provider to
compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01 as promptly as practicable after it
obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which
notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed
under this Section 3.01. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes
of this Section 3.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of
making or maintaining Advances or on amounts receivable by it in respect of
Advances, and of the additional amounts required to compensate the Liquidity
Provider in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be prima facie evidence of
the amount owed under this Section 3.01.
Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Liquidity Provider
and the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of
the initial Liquidity Provider that is not a bank shall not be entitled to the
benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the provisions of
Section 7.08 hereof).
Section 3.02 Capital Adequacy. If (1) compliance with any
judicial, administrative or other governmental interpretation of any law or
regulation or (2) compliance by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation
controlling the Liquidity Provider with any guideline or request from any
central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of
law) has the effect of requiring an increase in the amount of capital required
or expected to be maintained by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation
controlling the Liquidity Provider, and such increase is based upon the
Liquidity Provider's obligations hereunder and other similar obligations, the
Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider such additional amount as shall be
reasonably allocable to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower
hereunder. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent
with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of
its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the
amount of, any amount payable under this Section 3.02 that may thereafter accrue
and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be
otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.
The Liquidity Provider shall notify the Borrower of any event occurring
after the date of this Agreement that shall entitle the Liquidity Provider to
compensation pursuant to this Section 3.02 as promptly as practicable after it
obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which
notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed
under this Section 3.02. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes
of this Section 3.02 of the effect of any increase in the amount of capital
required to be maintained by the Liquidity Provider and of the amount allocable
to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be prima
facie evidence of the amounts owed under this Section 3.02.
14
18
[REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT]
Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Liquidity Provider
and the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of
the initial Liquidity Provider that is not a bank shall not be entitled to the
benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the provisions of
Section 7.08 hereof).
Section 3.03 Payments Free of Deductions. (a) All payments made by
the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without
reduction for or on account of, any Taxes, excluding Excluded Taxes (such
non-excluded taxes being referred to herein, collectively, as "Non-Excluded
Taxes"). If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from
any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, the Borrower
shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the
appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such
Non-Excluded Taxes (and any additional Non-Excluded Taxes in respect of the
payment required under clause (ii) below) and make such reports or returns in
connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by
applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Liquidity Provider an additional amount
which (after deduction of all such Non-Excluded Taxes) shall be sufficient to
yield to the Liquidity Provider the full amount which would have been received
by it had no such withholding or deduction been made. Within 30 days after the
date of each payment hereunder, the Borrower shall furnish to the Liquidity
Provider the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of)
the payment of the Non-Excluded Taxes applicable to such payment. The Liquidity
Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and
regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if
making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such
additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable
judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise materially disadvantageous (as
determined by the Liquidity Provider) to the Liquidity Provider or require the
Liquidity Provider to incur any cost or expenses for which it is not indemnified
by the Borrower. The Liquidity Provider shall deliver to the Borrower such
certificates and documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and
required by applicable law and as may be legally delivered by the Liquidity
Provider to establish that payments hereunder are exempt from (or entitled to a
reduced rate of) withholding Tax.
(b) All payments (including, without limitation,
Advances) made by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall be made free
and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any
Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the
Borrower under this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time
prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or
taxing authority the full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in
respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make
such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the
manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional
amount which (after deduction of all such Taxes) shall be sufficient to yield to
the Borrower the full amount which would have been received by it had no such
withholding or deduction been made. Within 30 days after the date of each
payment hereunder,
15
19
[REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT]
the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified
copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable
to such payment.
(c) If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of,
any Taxes is reasonably available to the Borrower to establish that payments
under this Agreement are exempt from (or entitled to a reduced rate of) tax, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such
other evidence of the eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or
reduction as the Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as
being required as a condition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of,
any Taxes.
Section 3.04 Payments. The Borrower shall make or cause to be made
each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the
same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M. (Chicago
time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in lawful
money of the United States of America, to the Liquidity Provider in immediately
available funds, by wire transfer to The Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, ABA No.
000000000, Account Name: Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, New York Branch,
Account No. 000-0-000000, ref: United Airlines 2000-2A-1.
Section 3.05 Computations. All computations of interest based on
the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be, and all computations of interest based on the LIBOR shall be made
on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for
which such interest is payable.
Section 3.06 Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to
be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day,
such payment shall be made on the next Business Day and no additional interest
shall be due as a result (and if so made, shall be deemed to have been made when
due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance is so deferred to the
next Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the commencement of the next
Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce
the number of days for which interest shall be payable on such Advance on the
next interest payment date for such Advance.
Section 3.07 Interest. (a) Subject to Section 2.09, the Borrower
shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on (i) the
unpaid principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of such
Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, from and including the
date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class A-1 Cash
Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class A-1 Certificates) to but
excluding the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case
of an Applied Provider Advance, the date on which the Class A-1 Cash Collateral
Account is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other
amount due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or to
the extent permitted by applicable law, installments of interest on Advances or
any such
16
20
[REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT]
other amount) which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but
excluding the date such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum for each day equal to the Applicable
Liquidity Rate (as defined below) for such Advance or such other amount as in
effect for such day, but in no event at a rate per annum greater than the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that, if at any
time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07
shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then any subsequent
reduction in such interest rate shall not reduce the rate of interest payable
pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate permitted by applicable law
until the total amount of interest accrued equals the amount of interest that
would have accrued if such otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in
this Section 3.07 had at all times been in effect. Nothing contained in this
Section 3.07 shall require the Borrower to pay any amount under this Section
3.07 other than to the extent the Borrower shall have funds available therefor.
(b) Except as provided in Section 3.07(e), each Advance
shall be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this
Section or Section 3.10. Each such Advance shall be a Base Rate Advance for the
period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third Business Day
following the Liquidity Provider's receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such
Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance; provided, however,
that the Borrower (at the direction of the Controlling Party, so long as the
Liquidity Provider is not the Controlling Party) may (x) convert the Final
Advance into a Base Rate Advance on the last day of an Interest Period for such
Advance by giving the Liquidity Provider no less than four Business Days' prior
written notice of such election or (y) elect to maintain the Final Advance as a
Base Rate Advance by not requesting a conversion of the Final Advance to a LIBOR
Advance under Clause (5) of the applicable Notice of Borrowing (or, if such
Final Advance is deemed to have been made, without delivery of a Notice of
Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.06, by requesting, prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York
time) on the first Business Day following the Borrower's receipt of the
applicable Termination Notice, that such Final Advance not be converted from a
Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance).
(c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each
Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR for such Interest Period plus
the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day
of such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such
LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to
the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).
(d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate
Advance, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and, in the event
of the payment of principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a
Regular Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of
interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).
17
21
[REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT]
(e) Each Unapplied Provider Advance shall bear interest
in an amount equal to the Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class
A-1 Cash Collateral Account, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution
Date.
(f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether
fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances)
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.00% per
annum.
(g) Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective
immediately. The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect
to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the "Applicable Liquidity
Rate."
Section 3.08 Replacement of Borrower. Subject to Section 5.02,
from time to time and subject to the successor Borrower's meeting the
eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.9 of the Intercreditor Agreement
applicable to the Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and time
specified in a written and completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent
in substantially the form of Annex VI (a "Notice of Replacement Subordination
Agent") delivered to the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor
Borrower designated therein shall be substituted for as the Borrower for all
purposes hereunder.
Section 3.09 Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay
to the Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such
amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the
Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred by
reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by
the Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss
of anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:
(1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than
the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance; or
(2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance
on the date for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under
Section 2.02.
Section 3.10 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in
this Agreement, if any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending
Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful
or impossible for the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending Office) to maintain or
fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower by the Liquidity
Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the
18
22
[REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT]
LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon
demand of the Liquidity Provider, if such change or compliance with such
request, in the judgment of the Liquidity Provider, requires immediate
repayment; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before
the effective date of any such change or request.

or (B) any breach by the Liquidity Provider of any of the terms of this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Liquidity Provider's failure to

shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Liquidity

its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior
written consent of the other party, subject to the requirements of Section
7.08(b). The Liquidity Provider may grant participations herein or in any of its
rights hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements to such Persons (other
than United or any of its Affiliates) as the Liquidity Provider may in its sole
discretion select, subject to the requirements of Section 7.08(b). No such
participation by the Liquidity Provider, however, shall relieve the Liquidity
Provider of its obligations hereunder. In connection with any participation or
any proposed participation, the Liquidity Provider may disclose to the
participant or the proposed participant any information that the Borrower is
required to deliver or to disclose to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to this
Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Liquidity Provider's
source of funds may derive in part from its participants. Accordingly,
references in this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to
determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, increased costs,
reduced receipts and the like as they pertain to the Liquidity Provider shall be
deemed also to include those of each of its participants that are banks
(subject, in each case, to the maximum amount that would have been incurred by
or attributable to the Liquidity Provider directly if the Liquidity Provider,
rather than the participant, had held the interest participated other than a
result of a change in law following the date of any participation).
(b) If, pursuant to Section 7.08(a) above, the Liquidity
Provider sells any participation in this Agreement to any bank or other entity
(each, a "Participating Institution"), then, concurrently with the effectiveness
of such participation, the Participating Institution shall (i) represent to the
Liquidity Provider (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower)
25
29
[REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT]
either (A) that it is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a
state thereof or (B) that under applicable law and treaties, no taxes shall be
required to be withheld by the Borrower or the Liquidity Provider with respect
to any payments to be made to such Participating Institution in respect of this
Agreement, (ii) furnish to the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower either (x) a
statement that it is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state
thereof or (y) if it is not so incorporated, two copies of a properly completed
United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, as
appropriate, or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service certifying, in each case, such Participating
Institution's entitlement to a complete exemption from United States federal
withholding tax in respect to any and all payments to be made hereunder, and
(iii) agree (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) to
provide the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower a new Form W-8ECI or Form
W-8BEN, as appropriate, (A) on or before the date that any such form expires or
becomes obsolete or (B) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in
the most recent form previously delivered by it and prior to the immediately
following due date of any payment by the Borrower hereunder, certifying in the
case of a Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI that such Participating Institution is
entitled to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax on
payments under this Agreement. Unless the Borrower has received forms or other
documents reasonably satisfactory to it (and required by applicable law) from
the Participating Institution indicating that payments hereunder are not subject
to United States federal withholding tax, the Borrower shall withhold taxes as
required by law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate without any
obligation to make additional payments under Section 3.03.
(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section
7.08, the Liquidity Provider may assign and pledge all or any portion of the
Advances owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury
as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve
Bank, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the
Borrower to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower's obligations hereunder in respect of such
assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release
the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.
Section 7.09 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which
is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition,
unenforceability or non-authorization without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.
