Item 1.01         Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On June 9, 2006, Continental Airlines, Inc. (the “Company”) and Wilmington Trust Company, as Mortgagee, entered into the Trust Indenture and Mortgage, dated as of June 9, 2006 (the “Indenture”), and the Company issued equipment notes (the “Equipment Notes”) under the Indenture in the aggregate principal amount of $320,000,000. The Equipment Notes were issued in two series: $190,000,000 principal amount of Series G, bearing interest at the rate of USD 3-Month LIBOR+0.35%, and $130,000,000 principal amount of Series B, bearing interest at the rate of USD 3-Month LIBOR+3.125%. The interest on the Equipment Notes of both series is payable quarterly on each March 2, June 2, September 2 and December 2, beginning on September 2, 2006. The entire principal amount of the Equipment Notes is due on June 2, 2013. Maturity of the Equipment Notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default, including failure by the Company (in some cases after notice or the expiration of a grace period, or both) to make payments under the Indenture when due, to comply with certain covenants or to add collateral or redeem Equipment Notes if certain ratios of the value of the collateral securing the Equipment Notes to the outstanding principal amount thereof are not satisfied, as well as certain bankruptcy events involving the Company. The Equipment Notes are secured under the Indenture by a lien on certain aircraft spare parts owned by the Company.

The Equipment Notes were purchased by Wilmington Trust Company, as pass through trustee under certain pass through trusts newly formed by the Company, using the proceeds from the sale of Pass Through Certificates, Series 2006-1G, and Pass Through Certificates, Series 2006-1B (collectively, the “Certificates”). The Certificates were registered for offer and sale pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), under the Company’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-133187) (the “Registration Statement”). For a more detailed description of the agreements and instruments entered into by the Company with respect to the Certificates, see the disclosure under the captions “Description of the Certificates”, “Description of the Liquidity Facilities for the Class G Certificates”, “Description of the Policy and the Policy Provider Agreement for the Class G Certificates”, “Description of the Intercreditor Agreement”, “Description of the Equipment Notes” and “Underwriting” contained in the Company’s final Prospectus Supplement, dated May 24, 2006 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), to the Prospectus, dated April 10, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2006 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, which disclosure is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

The proceeds from the sale of the Equipment Notes were used by the Company, in part, to redeem on June 9, 2006, the Company’s outstanding Floating Rate Secured Notes Due 2007 and Floating Rate Secured Subordinated Notes Due 2007 at the aggregate redemption price of $292,673,230, comprised of principal, accrued interest and, in the case of such Subordinated Notes, a premium of $970,000. As a result of such redemption, on June 9, 2006, the Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of May 9, 2003, among the Company, Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee, Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc., as Liquidity Provider, and MBIA Insurance Corporation, as Policy Provider, the Spare Parts Security Agreement, dated as of December 6, 2002, between Wilmington Trust Company, as Security Agent, and the Company, and certain related agreements were terminated. The collateral that secured the redeemed notes


 
was released from the lien under such Spare Parts Security Agreement and used to secure the newly-issued Equipment Notes.

This Current Report is also being filed for the purpose of filing as exhibits to the Registration Statement the documents listed in Item 9.01 below, which are hereby incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

MORGAN STANLEY & CO. INCORPORATED
1585 Broadway
New York, New York 10036

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Continental Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), proposes that Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee under each of the Trusts (as defined below) (each, a "Trustee"), issue and sell to Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (the "Underwriter"), Continental Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2006-1G (the "Class G Certificates"), and Continental Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2006-1B (the "Class B Certificates" and, together with the Class G Certificates, the "Certificates"), in the aggregate principal amounts and with the interest rates and final expected distribution dates set forth on Schedule I hereto on the terms and conditions stated herein. Each Trustee will use the proceeds from the sale of the Certificates to acquire from the Company the Equipment Notes. The Company intends to use most of the proceeds from the sale of said Equipment Notes to redeem its outstanding Floating Rate Secured Notes due 2007 and Floating Rate Secured Subordinated Notes due 2007 (collectively, the "Existing Notes"), outstanding under the Amended and Restated Indenture (the "Existing Indenture") dated as of May 9, 2003, among the Company, Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee, Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc., as liquidity provider, and MBIA Insurance Corporation, as policy provider (or, if the Company has funded such redemption prior to receipt of such proceeds, to reimburse the Company for such funding).

The Class B Certificates may only be sold by the Underwriter to persons reasonably believed by the Underwriter to be "qualified institutional buyers" ("QIBs"), as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No.333-133187)

1


relating to securities, including pass through certificates (the "Shelf Securities"), to be issued from time to time by the Company. The registration statement (including the respective exhibits thereto and the respective documents filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the "Exchange Act"), that are incorporated by reference therein), as amended to and including the date of this Agreement, including the information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act (and the Underwriter confirms that the first contract of sale of the Certificates by the Underwriter was made on the date of this Agreement), is hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement", and the related prospectus covering the Shelf Securities dated April 10, 2006 filed as part of the Registration Statement, in the form in which it has most recently been filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter referred to as the "Basic Prospectus". The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the final prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Certificates in the form as first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act in accordance with Section 4(d) hereof is hereinafter referred to as the "Prospectus", and the term "preliminary prospectus" means any preliminary form of the Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) "free writing prospectus" has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and (ii) "Time of Sale Prospectus" means the preliminary prospectus together with the free writing prospectuses, if any, each identified in Schedule III hereto. As used herein, the terms "Registration Statement", "Basic Prospectus", "preliminary prospectus", "Time of Sale Prospectus" and "Prospectus" shall include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein. The terms "supplement", "amendment" and "amend" as used herein with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus shall include all documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act), and incorporated by reference therein.

The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pass Through Trust Agreement, dated as of September 25, 1997 (the "Basic Agreement"), between the Company and the Trustee, as supplemented with respect to the issuance of each class of Certificates by a separate Pass Through Trust Supplement to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below) (individually, a "Trust Supplement"), between the Company and the Trustee (the Basic Agreement as supplemented by each such Trust Supplement being referred to herein individually as a "Pass Through Trust Agreement"). The Trust Supplements are related to the creation and administration of Continental Airlines Pass Through Trust 2006-1G (the "Class G Trust") and Continental Airlines Pass Through Trust 2006-1B (the "Class B Trust" and, together with the Class G Trust, the "Trusts").

Certain amounts of interest payable on the Class G Certificates will be entitled to the benefits of a primary liquidity facility and an above-cap liquidity facility. Morgan Stanley Bank (the "Primary Liquidity Provider") will enter into a revolving credit agreement with respect to the Class G Trust (the "Primary Liquidity Facility"), to be dated as of the Closing Date, for the benefit of the holders of the Class G Certificates issued by the Class G Trust. Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc. (the "Above-Cap Liquidity Provider") will enter into an interest rate cap agreement with respect to the Class G Trust (the "Above-Cap Liquidity Facility" and, together

2


with the Primary Liquidity Facility, the "Liquidity Facilities"), to be dated as of the Closing Date, for the benefit of the holders of the Class G Certificates issued by the Class G Trust. The Liquidity Facilities will not cover any amounts payable in respect of the Class B Certificates.

Payments of interest on the Class G Certificates will be supported by a financial guaranty insurance policy for the Class G Trust (the "Policy") issued by Financial Guaranty Insurance Company, as policy provider (the "Policy Provider"), to the extent the Liquidity Facilities and any funds contained in the cash collateral account funded from the Primary Liquidity Facility or the Above-Cap Account funded from the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility, are insufficient or unavailable for that purpose. The Policy will also support the payment of the final distributions on the Class G Certificates and will take effect in certain other circumstances described in the Intercreditor Agreement and the Policy. The Policy will be issued pursuant to an Insurance and Indemnity Agreement to be dated as of the Closing Date (the "Policy Provider Agreement") among the Policy Provider, the Company and the Subordination Agent. Under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Policy Provider Agreement, the Policy Provider will be entitled to reimbursement for amounts paid pursuant to claims made under the Policy, subject to certain limitations. The Class B Certificates will not be entitled to the benefits of the Policy or any other financial guaranty insurance policy.

The Primary Liquidity Provider, the Above-Cap Liquidity Provider, the Trustees on behalf of the holders of the Certificates and the Policy Provider will be entitled to the benefits of an Intercreditor Agreement to be dated as of the Closing Date (the "Intercreditor Agreement") among the Trustees, Wilmington Trust Company, as subordination agent and trustee thereunder (the "Subordination Agent"), the Primary Liquidity Provider, the Above-Cap Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Underwriting Agreement (the "Agreement") shall have the meanings specified therefor in the Pass Through Trust Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) or the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that, as used in this Agreement, the term "Operative Agreements" shall mean the Intercreditor Agreement, the Liquidity Facilities, the Policy, the Pass Through Trust Agreements, the Policy Provider Agreement, the Reference Agency Agreement, the Collateral Maintenance Agreement, the Indenture, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Equipment Notes, the Certificates and the Indemnification Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the "Indemnification Agreement"), among the Policy Provider, the Company and the Underwriter.

(v) Each of Continental Micronesia, Inc. and Air Micronesia Inc.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Operative Agreements to which the Company is or will be a party and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated herein and therein have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and will not result in any breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than any lien, charge or encumbrance created under any Operative Agreement) upon any property or assets of the Company pursuant to any indenture, loan agreement, contract, mortgage, note, lease or other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company may be bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, which breach, default, lien, charge or encumbrance, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Continental Material Adverse Effect, nor will any such execution, delivery or performance result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws of the Company or any statute, any rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over the Company.

5

The Basic Agreement as executed is substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Company's current report on Form 8-K dated September 25, 1997 and has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

7


the Prospectus, except to the extent that the failure to so obtain, declare or file would not have a Continental Material Adverse Effect.

(xvii) Except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Prospectus, (x) neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is in violation of any statute, rule, regulation, decision or order of any governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, relating to the use, disposal or release of hazardous or toxic substances (collectively, "environmental laws"), owns or operates any real property contaminated with any substance that is subject to any environmental laws, or is subject to any claim relating to any environmental laws, which violation, contamination, liability or claim individually or in the aggregate is reasonably expected to have a Continental Material Adverse Effect, and (y) the Company is not aware of any pending investigation which might lead to such a claim that is reasonably expected to have a Continental Material Adverse Effect.

4. Certain Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants with the Underwriter as follows:

13


(a) During the period described in the following sentence of this Section 4(a), the Company shall advise the Underwriter promptly of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus (except by documents filed under the Exchange Act) and will not effect such amendment or supplement (except by documents filed under the Exchange Act) without the consent of the Underwriter, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. If, at any time after the public offering of the Certificates, the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of the Certificates by the Underwriter or a dealer, any event shall occur as a result of which it is necessary to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading in any material respect, or if it is necessary to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with law, the Company shall prepare and furnish at its expense to the Underwriter and to the dealers (whose names and addresses the Underwriter will furnish to the Company) to which Certificates may have been sold by the Underwriter and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading in any material respect or amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, will comply with law and cause such amendments or supplements to be filed promptly with the Commission.

(b) During the period mentioned in paragraph (a) above, the Company shall notify the Underwriter immediately of (i) the effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement, (ii) the transmittal to the Commission for filing of any supplement to the Prospectus or any document that would as a result thereof be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, (iii) the receipt of any comments from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, (iv) any request by the Commission to the Company for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any supplement to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto or to any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and (v) receipt by the Company of any notice of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the suspension of the qualification of the Certificates for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for any of such purposes; and the Company agrees to use every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment and the Company shall (subject to the proviso to Section 4(i)) endeavor, in cooperation with the Underwriter, to prevent the issuance of any such stop order suspending such qualification and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.

14


(c) During the period mentioned in paragraph (a) above, the Company will furnish to the Underwriter as many conformed copies of the Registration Statement (as originally filed), Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, and all amendments and supplements to such documents (excluding all exhibits and documents filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein) and as many conformed copies of all consents and certificates of experts, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Underwriter reasonably requests.

(d) Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will prepare a Prospectus that complies with the Securities Act and that sets forth the principal amount of the Certificates and their terms not otherwise specified in the preliminary prospectus or the Basic Prospectus included in the Registration Statement, the name of the Underwriter and the principal amount of the Certificates, the price at which the Certificates are to be purchased by the Underwriter from the Trustee, any initial public offering price, any selling concession and reallowance and any delayed delivery arrangements, and such other information as the Underwriter and the Company deem appropriate in connection with the offering of the Certificates. The Company will timely transmit copies of the Prospectus to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act.

(e) The Company shall furnish to the Underwriter a copy of each free writing prospectus relating to the offering of the Certificates prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company and shall not use or refer to any proposed free writing prospectus to which the Underwriter reasonably objects.

(f) If the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Certificates at a time when a Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when delivered to a prospective purchaser, not misleading in any material respect, or if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to comply with applicable law, the Company shall forthwith prepare, file promptly with the Commission and furnish, at the Company's expense, to the Underwriter and to the dealers (whose names and addresses the Underwriter will furnish to the Company) to which Certificates may have been sold by the Underwriter and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading in any material respect or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

15


(g) The Company shall, in cooperation with the Underwriter, endeavor to arrange for the qualification of the Certificates for offer and sale under the applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Underwriter reasonably designates and will endeavor to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Certificates; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities, (ii) file a general consent to service of process or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.
 
(h) During the period of ten years after the Closing Date, the Company will promptly furnish to the Underwriter, upon request, copies of all Annual Reports on Form 10-K and any definitive proxy statement of the Company filed with the Commission; provided that providing a website address at which such Annual Reports and any such definitive proxy statements may be accessed will satisfy this clause (h).

(i) If the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement occurs before all the Certificates have been sold by the Underwriter, prior to the third anniversary, the Company shall file a new shelf registration statement and take any other action necessary to permit the public offering of the Certificates to continue without interruption, in which case references herein to the Registration Statement shall include the new registration statement as it shall become effective.

(j) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, offer, sell, or enter into any agreement to sell (as public debt securities registered under the Securities Act (other than the Certificates) or as debt securities which may be resold in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 144A thereunder and which are marketed through the use of a disclosure document containing substantially the same information as a prospectus for similar debt securities registered under the Securities Act), any equipment notes, pass through certificates, equipment trust certificates or equipment purchase certificates secured by aircraft spare parts owned by the Company (or rights relating thereto).

(k) The Company shall prepare a final term sheet relating to the offering of the Certificates, containing only information that describes the final terms of the Certificates or the offering in a form consented to by the Underwriter and shall file such final term sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) under the Securities Act following the date the final terms have been established for the offering of the Certificates.

(l) It is contemplated that the Company shall use part of the funds raised hereby to redeem the Existing Notes. Prior to any such redemption, (i) the Company shall comply with all conditions precedent for redemption of the Existing Notes set forth in Article 4 of the Existing Indenture and any other applicable sections of the Existing Indenture, subject to the receipt of the proceeds from the sale of the Equipment Notes pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, or (ii) the Company shall ensure that MBIA Insurance Corporation, as policy provider under the Existing Indenture, waives

16


compliance with such conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.1 of the Existing Indenture and any other applicable sections of the Existing Indenture, in each case in accordance with the Existing Indenture; provided, however, that if the Existing Trustee accepts the redemption payment and releases the security interest on the Spare Parts Collateral (as defined in the Existing Indenture) in accordance with the terms of the Existing Indenture and the Security Agreement (as defined in the Existing Indenture), the Company shall not be held liable for non-compliance with (i) or (ii) of this clause (l).

5. Certain Covenants of the Underwriter. (a) The Underwriter represents and warrants that it is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Underwriter represents, warrants and agrees with the Company that it has solicited and will solicit offers for the Class B Certificates only from, and has offered and will offer and sell the Class B Certificates only to persons that it reasonably believes to be QIBs; provided that, in purchasing the Class B Certificates, such persons are deemed to have represented and agreed as provided in the Time of Sale Prospectus under the caption "Description of the Certificates—Transfer Restrictions for Class B Certificates".

(b) The Underwriter represents, warrants and covenants that it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Certificates that would constitute an issuer free writing prospectus; provided that this Section 5(b) shall not prevent the Underwriter from transmitting or otherwise making use of one or more customary “Bloomberg Screens” to offer the Certificates or convey final pricing terms thereof that contain only information contained in the Time of Sale Prospectus.

6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, and each Person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Underwriter or any such controlling person in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any "issuer free writing prospectus" as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any of the aforementioned losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished to the Company in writing by or through the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto (the "Underwriter Information") or Policy Provider Information.

(b) The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who

17


controls the Company, within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Underwriter but only with reference to the Underwriter Information.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the "indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing. The indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall, and the indemnifying party may elect to, retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and the indemnifying party shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to retain counsel as required by the prior sentence to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable amount of time. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriter in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (a) above and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (b) above. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested in writing an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph (c), the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 90 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement, unless such fees and expenses are being disputed in good faith. The indemnifying party at any time may, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (c), settle or compromise any proceeding described in this paragraph (c), at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a

18


statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is required to be made but is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the applicable indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other hand, from the offering of such Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of such Certificates shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the proceeds from the offering of such Certificates received by the Trusts (before deducting expenses), less total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of such Certificates. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Underwriter, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or information supplied by the Underwriter, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Certificates underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 6 and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain

19


operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter or any person controlling the Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Certificates. The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

7. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriter set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement, any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Underwriter, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person and will survive delivery of and payment for the Certificates. If for any reason the purchase of the Certificates by the Underwriter is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 9 hereof and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriter pursuant to Section 6 hereof shall remain in effect.

September 25, 1997 (the “Basic Agreement”), between the Trustee and Continental Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), as supplemented by Trust Supplement No. 2006-1G thereto, dated as of June 9, 2006 (the “Trust Supplement” and, together with the Basic Agreement, the “Agreement”), between the Trustee and the Company, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated as “Continental Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2006-1G” (herein called the “Certificates”). This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement. By virtue of its acceptance hereof, the holder of this Certificate (the “Certificateholder” and, together with all other holders of Certificates issued by the Trust, the “Certificateholders”) assents to and agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement. The property of the Trust includes an Equipment Note and all rights of the Trust to receive payments under the Intercreditor Agreement, the NPA, the Policy, the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility and the Primary Liquidity Facility (the “Trust Property”). The Equipment Note is secured by, among other things, a security interest in certain aircraft spare parts owned by the Company.

The Certificates represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust and the Trust Property and have no rights, benefits or interest in respect of any other separate trust established pursuant to the terms of the Basic Agreement for any other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto.

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be distributed on March 2, June 2, September 2 and December 2 of each year (or, in any such case, if not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (each, a “Regular Distribution Date”) commencing on September 2, 2006, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the Regular Distribution Date, an amount in respect of the Scheduled Payments on the Equipment Note due on such Regular Distribution Date, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Scheduled Payments. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that Special Payments on the Equipment Note are received by the Trustee, from funds then available to the Trustee, there shall be distributed on the applicable Special Distribution Date, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the Special Distribution Date, an amount in respect of such Special Payments on the Equipment Note, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Special Payments so received. If a Special Distribution Date is not a Business Day, distribution shall be made on the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Special Distribution Date and interest shall accrue during the intervening period. The Trustee shall mail notice of each Special Payment and the Special Distribution Date therefor to the Certificateholder of this Certificate.
 

 

A-3
 
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto, without presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon, except that with respect to Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee), such distribution shall be made by wire transfer. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after notice mailed by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in such notice.

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

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Trust. Any such consent by the Certificateholder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Registrar, or by any successor Registrar, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
 

 

A-4
 
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 Fractional Undivided Interest or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate may be issued in a different denomination. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, as requested by the Certificateholder surrendering the same.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Each Certificateholder and Investor, by its acceptance of this Certificate or a beneficial interest herein, agrees to treat the Trust as a grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

The Trustee, the Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee or the Registrar may treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Property.

Any Person acquiring or accepting this Certificate or an interest herein will, by such acquisition or acceptance, be deemed to have represented and warranted to and for the benefit of the Company that either: (i) the assets of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or of a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), have not been used to purchase this Certificate or an interest herein or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Certificate or an interest herein are exempt from the prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA and the Code pursuant to one or more prohibited transaction statutory or administrative exemptions.

THE AGREEMENT AND THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

The initial Restricted Definitive Certificates, delivered at the closing in accordance with the

7


Underwriting Agreement, shall be registered in the name or names designated by the Underwriter.
 
Section 3.02. Restrictive Legends. All Applicable Certificates issued pursuant to the Agreement shall bear a legend to the following effect (the “Restricted Legend”):
 
THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT); (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS CERTIFICATE EXCEPT TO A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT); AND (3) AGREES THAT IF IT SHOULD RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS CERTIFICATE IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS CERTIFICATE IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, THE TRANSFEREE MUST COMPLETE THE FORM ON THE REVERSE HEREOF RELATING TO THE MANNER OF SUCH TRANSFER AND SUBMIT SUCH FORM TO THE PASS THROUGH TRUSTEE. THE PASS THROUGH TRUST AGREEMENT CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE REGISTRAR TO REFUSE TO REGISTER ANY TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.
 
Section 3.03. Amendment of Sections 3.04 and 3.05 of the Basic Agreement. Sections 3.04 and 3.05 of this Trust Supplement supersede and replace Sections 3.04 and 3.05 of the Basic Agreement, with respect to the Applicable Trust.
 
Section 3.04. Transfer and Exchange. The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained by it in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.12 of the Basic Agreement a register (the “Register”) of the Applicable Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of such Applicable Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of such Applicable Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall initially be the registrar (the “Registrar”) for the purpose of registering such Applicable Certificates and transfers and exchanges of such Applicable Certificates as herein provided.
 
All Applicable Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Applicable Certificates shall be valid obligations of the Applicable Trust, evidencing the same interest therein, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Applicable Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
 
An Applicable Certificateholder may transfer, in whole or in part, an Applicable Certificate, or request that an Applicable Certificate be exchanged, in whole or in part, for Applicable Certificates in authorized denominations in an aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest equal to the Fractional Undivided Interest of such Applicable Certificate surrendered for

8


exchange of other authorized denominations, by surrender of such Applicable Certificate to the Trustee with the form of transfer notice thereon duly completed and executed, and otherwise complying with the terms of the Agreement, including providing evidence of compliance with any restrictions on transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of an Applicable Certificateholder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register. Prior to the registration of any transfer by an Applicable Certificateholder as provided herein, the Trustee shall treat the person in whose name the Applicable Certificate is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes, and the Trustee shall not be affected by notice to the contrary. When Applicable Certificates are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer thereof or to exchange them for other authorized denominations of an Applicable Certificate in a Fractional Undivided Interest equal to the aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest of Applicable Certificates surrendered for exchange, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met.
 
The Registrar shall not register the transfer or exchange of any Applicable Certificate in the name of any Person unless and until evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee that the conditions to any such transfer or exchange set forth in Section 3.05 shall have been satisfied is submitted to them. Such conditions shall be deemed satisfied with respect to a transfer if the transferor and transferee duly execute and deliver to the Trustee the transfer notice in the form attached to the Applicable Certificates, unless the Company or the Trustee has a reasonable basis for requesting additional evidence.
 
To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges in accordance with the terms, conditions and restrictions hereof, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate Applicable Certificates at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made to an Applicable Certificateholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Applicable Certificates, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Applicable Certificates. All Applicable Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee.
 
Section 3.05. Special Transfer Provisions. 

(a) Transfers Limited to QIBs. If an Applicable Certificate is to be transferred, the Registrar shall register the transfer only if such transfer is being made to a proposed transferee who has provided the transfer notice attached to the form of Applicable Certificate stating that it is purchasing the Applicable Certificate for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A.

(b) Restricted Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Applicable Certificates, the Registrar shall deliver only Applicable Certificates that bear the Restricted Legend.

To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated as “Continental Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2006-1B” (herein called the “Certificates”). This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement. By virtue of its acceptance hereof, the holder of this Certificate (the “Certificateholder” and, together with all other holders of Certificates issued by the Trust, the “Certificateholders”) assents to and agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement. The property of the Trust includes an Equipment Note and all rights of the Trust to receive payments under the Intercreditor Agreement and the NPA (the “Trust Property”). The Equipment Note is secured by, among other things, a security interest in certain aircraft spare parts owned by the Company.

The Certificates represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust and the Trust Property and have no rights, benefits or interest in respect of any other separate trust established pursuant to the terms of the Basic Agreement for any other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto.

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be distributed on March 2, June 2, September 2 and December 2 of each year (or, in any such case, if not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (each, a “Regular Distribution Date”) commencing on September 2, 2006, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the Regular Distribution Date, an amount in respect of the Scheduled Payments on the Equipment Note due on such Regular Distribution Date, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Scheduled Payments. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that Special Payments on the Equipment Note are received by the Trustee, from funds then available to the Trustee, there shall be distributed on the applicable Special Distribution Date, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the Special Distribution Date, an amount in respect of such Special Payments on the Equipment Note, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Special Payments so received. If a Special Distribution Date is not a Business Day, distribution shall be made on the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Special Distribution Date and interest shall accrue during the intervening period. The Trustee shall mail notice of each Special Payment and the Special Distribution Date therefor to the Certificateholder of this Certificate.


A-3

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto, without presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after notice mailed by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in such notice.

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

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Trust. Any such consent by the Certificateholder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Registrar, or by any successor Registrar, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 Fractional Undivided Interest or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate may be issued in a different denomination. As

The Primary Liquidity Provider hereby irrevocably agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Expiry Date (unless the obligations of the Primary Liquidity Provider shall be earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of Section 2.04(b)) in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the Maximum Commitment.
 
Section 2.02 Making the Advances. (a) Interest Advances shall be made in one or more Borrowings by delivery to the Primary Liquidity Provider of one or more written and completed Notices of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex I attached hereto, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount not exceeding the Maximum Available Commitment at such time and shall be used solely for the payment when due of interest with respect to the Class G Certificates at the Stated Interest Rate for the applicable Interest Period (calculated assuming that Continental will not cure any Payment Default) in accordance with Section 3.5(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 Primary 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 an amount equal to the amount of such Interest Advance so repaid but not to exceed the Maximum Commitment; provided, however, that the Maximum Available Commitment shall not be so reinstated at any time if (x) any Equipment Note is a Non-Performing Equipment Note and a Liquidity Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (y) a Final Advance has been made.
 
(b) A Non-Extension Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing if this Agreement is not extended in accordance with Section 3.5(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement (unless a Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility to replace this Agreement shall have been delivered to the Borrower as contemplated by said Section 3.5(d) within the time period specified in such Section 3.5(d)) by delivery to the Primary 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 Primary Cash Collateral Account in accordance with such Section 3.5(d) and Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
 
(c) A Downgrade Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing upon the occurrence of a Downgrade Event (as provided for in Section 3.5(c) of the Intercreditor
 

7


Agreement) unless a Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility to replace this Agreement shall have been previously delivered to the Borrower in accordance with Section 3.5(c), by delivery to the Primary Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex III 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 Primary Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Sections 3.5(c) and 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
 
(d) A Final Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing upon the receipt by the Borrower of a Termination Notice from the Primary Liquidity Provider pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof by delivery to the Primary Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex IV 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 Primary Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Sections 3.5(f) and 3.5(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 Primary Liquidity Provider. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be effective upon delivery of a copy thereof to the Primary Liquidity Provider’s office at the address specified in Section 7.02. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing, the Primary Liquidity Provider shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in U.S. dollars and immediately available funds, before 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day or on such later Business Day specified in such Notice of Borrowing. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing on a day that is not a Business Day or after 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing, the Primary Liquidity Provider shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in U.S. dollars and in immediately available funds, before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the first Business Day next 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. 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 Primary Liquidity Provider for such purpose. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.
 
(f) Upon the making of any Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the Borrower’s payment instructions, the Primary Liquidity Provider shall be fully discharged of its obligation hereunder with respect to such Notice of Borrowing, and the Primary 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 Primary Liquidity Provider makes an Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day after the date of payment specified in Section 2.02(e), the Primary Liquidity Provider shall have fully
 

8


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), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d) hereof to fund the Primary Cash Collateral Account, the Primary Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights to the Primary Cash Collateral Account, the funds constituting such Advance or any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Primary Cash Collateral Account; provided that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Subordination Agent to make the distributions contemplated by Section 3.5(e) or 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement and provided further, that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the rights of the Primary Liquidity Provider to provide written instructions with respect to the investment and reinvestment of amounts in the Primary Cash Collateral Account 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 Primary 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 Primary Liquidity Provider the fees set forth in the Fee Letter applicable to this Agreement.
 
Section 2.04 Reductions or Termination of the Maximum Commitment. (a)  Automatic Reduction. Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance of the Class G Certificates (including by reason of a Policy Provider Election with respect to the Series G Equipment Note) 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 Primary 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 Primary 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 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Primary Liquidity Provider (which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be paid, to the Primary Liquidity Provider on each date on which the Primary 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”) (if multiple Interest Advances are outstanding, any such repayment to be applied in the order in which such Interest Advances have been made, starting with the earliest), plus (b) interest on the amount of each such Unpaid Advance as provided in Section 3.07 hereof; provided that if (i) the Primary 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 Primary 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,
 

9


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, without limitation, for the purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is required to be repaid to the Primary Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of Section 2.06(b)). The Borrower and the Primary 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 Primary Liquidity Provider.
 
Section 2.06 Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the Primary Cash Collateral Account and invested and withdrawn from the Primary Cash Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.5(c), 3.5(d), 3.5(e) and 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Primary 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 hereof; provided, however, that amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Primary Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class G Certificates in accordance with Section 3.5(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; provided further, however, that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the Primary Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof, 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 and as an Applied Downgrade Advance or Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for purposes of Section 2.6(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Primary Cash Collateral Account on account of a reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Primary Liquidity Provider a portion of the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to such reduction, plus interest on the principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.07 hereof.
 
(b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Primary Cash Collateral Account of any amount pursuant to clause “fourth” of Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount being a “Replenishment Amount”) for the purpose of replenishing or increasing the balance thereof up to 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 (if multiple Applied Provider Advances are outstanding, such Replenishment Amount to be applied in the order in which such Applied Provider Advances have been made, starting with the earliest) and (ii) the aggregate outstanding
 

10


principal amount of all Unapplied Provider Advances shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.
 
(c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility in replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.5(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement, and upon the payment in full of the Class G Certificates, amounts remaining on deposit in the Primary Cash Collateral Account after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance on the date of such replacement shall be reimbursed to the replaced Primary Liquidity Provider, but only to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the replaced Primary Liquidity Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.
 
Section 2.07 Payments to the Primary Liquidity Provider Under the Intercreditor Agreement. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the Primary 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 Primary Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the Primary Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof. Amounts so paid to the Primary Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Primary Liquidity Provider to Liquidity Obligations then due and payable in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement and shall discharge in full the corresponding obligations of the Borrower hereunder (or, if not provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, then in such manner as the Primary Liquidity Provider shall deem appropriate).
 
Section 2.08 Book Entries. The Primary 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 Primary 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 including, without limitation, Section 7.05 and 7.07 hereof, shall be made only from the amounts that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments or payments under the Fee Letter and Section 8.1 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 Primary Liquidity Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts in respect of payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder 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, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Note Purchase Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Primary 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 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Nothing herein shall limit or
 

11


otherwise affect the right of the Primary Liquidity Provider to receive payment from the Policy Provider under Section 3.6(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
 
Section 2.10 Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension Advance. 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 date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class G Certificates), the Borrower shall request that the Primary Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class G 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 Primary Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower, no earlier than the 40th day (or, if earlier, the date of the Primary 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 Primary 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 Primary Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.5(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) hereof and Section 3.5(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
 
 
ARTICLE III
 
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER
 
Section 3.01 Increased Costs. The Borrower shall pay to the Primary Liquidity Provider from time to time such amounts as may be necessary to compensate the Primary Liquidity Provider for any increased costs incurred by the Primary Liquidity Provider which are attributable to its making or maintaining any LIBOR Advances hereunder or its obligation to make any such Advances hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by the Primary 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, municipal, or foreign laws or regulations (including Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), or the adoption or making after the date of this Agreement of any interpretations, directives, or requirements applying to a class of banks including the Primary Liquidity Provider under any U.S. federal, state, municipal, or any foreign laws or regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any court, central bank 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 Primary Liquidity Provider under this Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such obligation (other than with respect to Excluded 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 Primary Liquidity Provider (including any
 

12


such Advances or such obligation or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate or related definitions).
 
The Primary Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Primary 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. Determinations by the Primary 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 Primary Liquidity Provider in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount owed under this Section.
 
Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Primary Liquidity Provider and the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of the initial Primary Liquidity Provider which 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) the adoption, after the date hereof, of any applicable governmental law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, (2) any change, after the date hereof, in the interpretation or administration of any such law, rule or regulation by any central bank or other governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or (3) compliance by the Primary Liquidity Provider or any corporation controlling the Primary Liquidity Provider with any applicable guideline or request of general applicability, issued after the date hereof, by any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) that constitutes a change of the nature described in clause (2), has the effect of requiring an increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by the Primary Liquidity Provider or any corporation controlling the Primary Liquidity Provider, and such increase is based upon the Primary Liquidity Provider’s obligations hereunder and other similar obligations, the Borrower shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3.11, pay to the Primary Liquidity Provider from time to time such additional amount or amounts as are necessary to compensate the Primary Liquidity Provider for such portion of such increase as shall be reasonably allocable to the Primary Liquidity Provider’s obligations to the Borrower hereunder.
 
The Primary Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Primary 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. Determinations by the Primary 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 Primary Liquidity Provider and of the amount allocable to the Primary Liquidity Provider’s obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts owed under this Section.
 
Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Primary Liquidity Provider and the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of the initial
 

13


Primary Liquidity Provider which 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 or withholding for or on account of any present or future Taxes of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed, other than Excluded Taxes (such non-excluded Taxes being referred to herein, collectively, as “Indemnified Taxes” and, individually, as an “Indemnified Tax”). If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Primary Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, (i) the Borrower shall within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such Taxes (including any additional Tax required to be deducted or withheld 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) in the case of Indemnified Taxes, the amounts payable to the Primary Liquidity Provider shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Primary Liquidity Provider (after deduction or withholding for or on account of all Indemnified Taxes required to be deducted or withheld by reason of the receipt or accrual of the additional amounts payable pursuant to this clause (ii)) interest or any other such amounts payable under this Agreement at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement.
 
If the Primary Liquidity Provider (including a successor Primary Liquidity Provider) is not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, to the extent it is eligible to do so, the Primary Liquidity Provider agrees to provide to the Borrower, prior to the first date any amount is payable to it hereunder, two executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that the Primary Liquidity Provider is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, the Primary Liquidity Provider will provide, from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, such additional forms or documentation as may be necessary to establish an available exemption from (or an entitlement to a reduced rate of) withholding tax on payments hereunder. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Borrower shall furnish to the Primary Liquidity Provider the original or certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Indemnified Taxes applicable to such payment.
 
(b) If the Primary Liquidity Provider (including a successor Primary Liquidity Provider) is not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, all Advances made by the Primary Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes that are imposed by a jurisdiction in which the Primary Liquidity Provider is organized, has its Lending Office or maintains its principal place of business. If any such Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any Advances, the Primary 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
 

14


all such Taxes) shall be sufficient to yield to the Borrower the full amount that would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been required. The Borrower shall, for federal income tax purposes and for all purposes hereunder, treat such payments as Interest Advances, and, as such, will treat such payments as loans made by the Primary Liquidity Provider to the Borrower, unless otherwise required by law. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Primary 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 required to be deducted or withheld from amounts payable by the Primary Liquidity Provider hereunder 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 Primary Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such other evidence of the eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or reduction as the Primary Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as being required as a condition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any such Taxes.
 
Section 3.04 Payments. The Borrower shall make or cause to be made each payment to the Primary Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the same to be received by the Primary Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in U.S. dollars, to the Primary Liquidity Provider in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account of Morgan Stanley Bank, at Citibank, New York, New York, ABA No. 021000089, Account Name: MS Bank, Account No. 30463591; or to such other U.S. bank account as the Primary Liquidity Provider may from time to time direct the Subordination Agent.
 
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 Rate 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 succeeding 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 succeeding 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 will 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 Primary Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class G Certificates) to but excluding the
 

15


date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, the date on which the Primary 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 law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other amount) that 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 the case may be, 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 will 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.
 
(b) Except as provided in clause (e) below, each Advance (including, without limitation, each outstanding Unapplied Downgrade Advance) will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section 3.07. Each such Advance will be a Base Rate Advance for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third Business Day following the Primary Liquidity Provider’s receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance; provided that the Borrower (at the direction of the Controlling Party, so long as the Primary 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 Primary 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 City time) on the first Business Day immediately 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 the LIBOR Rate 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
