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.

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

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)
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
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

Agreement")
among
the Trustees, Wilmington Trust Company, as subordination agent and trustee
thereunder (the "Subordination

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.
1. Representations
and Warranties.
(a) The
Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Underwriter that:
(i) The
Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities
Act; the Registration Statement has become effective; and, on the original
effective date of the Registration Statement, the Registration Statement
complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities
Act;
no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
is in
effect, and no proceedings for such purpose are pending before or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission. The Registration
Statement is an "automatic
shelf registration statement"
(as
defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) and the Company is a "well-known
seasoned issuer"
(as
defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) eligible to use the Registration
Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement, and the Company has
not
received notice that the Commission objects to the use of the Registration
Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement. The Registration
Statement does not, as of the date hereof, include any untrue statement of
a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. As of its date
and
on the Closing Date, the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented, if the
Company
shall have made any amendment or supplement thereto, does not and will not
include an untrue statement of a material fact and does not and will not
omit to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
The
Registration Statement, as of the date hereof, complies and the Prospectus
complies, and as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will comply in all
material respects with the Securities Act and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Time of Sale Prospectus did
not,
as of 5 p.m., Eastern Time, on the date of this Agreement (the "Applicable
Time"),
and
the Time of Sale Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented by the Company,
if
applicable, will not as of the Closing Date, contain any untrue statement
of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The
preceding sentences do not apply to (x) statements in or omissions from the
Registration Statement, the
Time
of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus based
upon (A) written
information furnished to the Company by
the
Underwriter expressly for use therein,
(B) information under the caption "Description of the Policy Provider", the
third paragraph under the caption "Experts" or Appendix III in the Prospectus
or
documents incorporated by reference thereunder (collectively, the "Policy
Provider Information")
or (C)
statements
or omissions in that part of each Registration Statement which shall constitute
the Statement of Eligibility of the Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act
of
1939, as amended (the "Trust
Indenture Act"),
on
Form T-1.
(ii) The
documents incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the
Prospectus (excluding any Policy Provider Information comprising documents
incorporated by reference) pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities
Act, at the time they were filed with the Commission or hereafter, during
the
period mentioned in Section 4(a) hereof, are filed with the Commission, complied
or will comply, as the case may be, in all material respects with the
requirements of the Exchange Act.
(iii) The
Company is not an
"ineligible issuer" in connection with the offering of the Certificates pursuant
to Rules 164, 405 and 433 under the Securities Act. Any free writing prospectus
that the Company is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the
Securities Act has been, or will be, filed with the Commission in accordance
with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder. Each free writing prospectus that
the
Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under
the
Securities Act complies or will comply in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations
of
the Commission thereunder. Except for the free writing
prospectuses,
if any, identified in Schedule III hereto, the Company has not prepared,
used or
referred to, any free writing prospectus in connection with the offering
of the
Certificates.
(iv) The
Company has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate power and
authority to own, lease and operate its property and to conduct its business
as
described in the Time of Sale Prospectus; and the Company is duly qualified
to
do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in all other jurisdictions
in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business
requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified
would
not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise),
business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole (a "Continental
Material Adverse Effect").
(v) Each
of
Continental Micronesia, Inc. and Air Micronesia Inc. (together, the
"Subsidiaries")
has
been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good standing under
the
laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, with corporate power and
authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business
as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus; and each Subsidiary is duly
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in all
other
jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct
of its
business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so
qualified would not have a Continental Material Adverse Effect; all of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary has been duly authorized
and validly issued and is fully paid and nonassessable; and, except as described
in the Time of Sale Prospectus, each Subsidiary's capital stock owned by
the
Company, directly or through subsidiaries, is owned free from liens,
encumbrances and defects.
(vi) Except
as
described in the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Company is not in default in
the
performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition
contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease
or
other instrument to which it is a party or by which it may be bound or to
which
any of its properties may be subject, except for such defaults that would
not
have a Continental Material Adverse Effect. 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.
(vii) No
consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental
agency or body or any court is required for the valid authorization, execution
and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the Operative Agreements
to
which it is or will be a party and for the consummation of the transactions
contemplated herein and therein, except (x) such as may be required under
the
Securities Act, the Trust Indenture Act, the securities or "blue sky" or
similar
laws of the various states and of foreign jurisdictions or rules and regulations
of the NASD, Inc. ("NASD"),
and
(y) filings or recordings with the Federal Aviation Administration (the
"FAA")
and
under the Uniform Commercial Code (the "UCC")
or
other laws in effect in any applicable jurisdiction governing the perfection
of
security interests, which filings or recordings referred to in this clause
(y)
shall have been made, or duly presented for filing or recordation, or shall
be
in the process of being duly filed or filed for recordation, on or prior
to the
Closing Date.
(viii) This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Operative
Agreements to which the Company will be a party will be duly executed and
delivered by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date.
(ix) The
Operative Agreements to which the Company is or will be a party, when duly
executed and delivered by the Company, assuming that such Operative Agreements
have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and constitute the
legal,
valid and binding obligations of, each other party thereto, will constitute
valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with
their terms, except (w) as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent
transfers), reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter
in
effect relating to creditors' rights generally, (x) as enforcement thereof
is
subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement
is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), (y) that the enforceability
of
the Indenture may also be limited by applicable laws which may affect the
remedies provided therein but which do not affect the validity of the Indenture
or make such remedies inadequate for the practical realization of the benefits
intended to be provided thereby and (z) with respect to indemnification and
contribution provisions, as enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable
law. 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. The Certificates and
the
Pass Through Trust Agreements will, upon execution and delivery thereof,
conform
in all material respects to the descriptions thereof in the Time of Sale
Prospectus.
(x) The

(a) During

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.
(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.
(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

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

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
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
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
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. If the purchase of the Certificates by the Underwriter is not
consummated for any reason other than solely because of the occurrence of
the
termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Company will
reimburse the Underwriter for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriter
in
connection with the offering of such Certificates and comply with its
obligations under Sections 6 and 9 hereof.
8. Termination.
This
Agreement shall be subject to termination by notice given by the Underwriter
to
the Company, if (a) after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been materially
suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the
New
York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market,
(ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on
any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium
on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by
either
Federal or New York State authorities, (iv) there shall have occurred any
attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving,
the United States, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or
crisis
that, in each case, in the Underwriter’s judgment, is material and adverse or
(v) any major disruption of settlements of securities or clearance services
in
the United States that would materially impair settlement and clearance with
respect to the Certificates and (b) in the case of any of the events
specified in clauses (a)(i) through (v), such event singly or together with
any
other such event makes it, in the Underwriter’s judgment, impracticable to
market the Certificates on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the
Time
of Sale Prospectus.
9. Payment
of Expenses.
As
between the Company and the Underwriter, the Company shall pay all expenses
incidental to the performance of the Company's obligations under this Agreement,

(B) endeavoring to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as
required for the distribution of such Certificates, (C) the review (if any)
of
the offering of the Certificates by the NASD, (D) the determination of the
eligibility of the Certificates for investment under the laws of such
jurisdictions as the Underwriter may designate and (E) the preparation and
distribution of any blue sky or legal investment memorandum by Underwriter’s
counsel;
(ii) expenses
incurred in connection with the preparation and distribution to the Underwriter
and the dealers (whose names and addresses the Underwriter will furnish to

the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale
Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not materially
misleading or (B) amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement,
the Time of Sale Prospectus, or the Prospectus so that the Registration
Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, as so amended or
supplemented, will comply with law and the expenses incurred in connection
with
causing such amendments or supplements to be filed promptly with the Commission,
all as set forth in Section 4(a) hereof;
(iii) the
expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing and filing
of the
Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits), as
originally filed and as amended, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of
Sale
Prospectus, the Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus and any
amendments and supplements to any of the foregoing, including the filing
fees
payable to the Commission relating to the Certificates (within the time period
required by Rule 456(b)(1), if applicable), and the cost of furnishing copies
thereof to the Underwriter and dealers;
(iv) expenses
incurred in connection with the preparation, printing and distribution of
this
Agreement, the Certificates and the Operative Agreements;
(v) expenses
incurred in connection with the delivery of the Certificates to the
Underwriter;
(vi) reasonable
fees and disbursements of the counsel and accountants for the
Company;
(vii) to

extent the Company is so required under any Operative Agreement to which
it is a
party, the fees and expenses of the Mortgagee, the Subordination Agent, the

Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider and the reasonable fees and
disbursements of their respective counsel;
(viii) fees
charged by rating agencies for rating the Certificates (including annual
surveillance fees related to the Certificates as long as they are
outstanding);
(ix) reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriter;
(x) all
fees
and expenses relating to appraisals of the Pledged Spare Parts; and
(xi) all
other
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Underwriter in connection
with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and
(xii) except
as
otherwise provided in the foregoing clauses (i) through (xi), all other expenses
incidental to the performance of the Company's obligations under this Agreement,
other than pursuant to Section 6.

Rights of Certificateholders; Election to Terminate Policy.
(a) By

shall
have the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Applicable

Class B Certificateholder, provided
that
(i) if prior to the end of such ten-day period any other Class B
Certificateholder (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) notifies
such purchasing Class B Certificateholder that such other Class B
Certificateholder (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) wants to
participate in such purchase, then such other Class B Certificateholder may
join with the purchasing Class B Certificateholder (any such purchasing
Class B Certificateholders shall be collectively referred to herein as the
“Class B
Purchasers”)
to
purchase all, but not less than all, of the Applicable Certificates based on
the
ratio of the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Class B Trust held by
each such Class B Purchaser to the Fractional Undivided Interests in the

prior to the end of such ten-day period any other Class B Certificateholder
fails to notify the Class B Purchasers of such other Class B
Certificateholder’s desire to participate in such a purchase, then such other
Class B Certificateholder shall lose its right to purchase the Applicable

Certificateholders”)
prior

Participating Certificateholders in surrendering the Policy to the Policy
Provider for cancellation (thereby releasing the Policy Provider from its
obligations under the Policy) and making such payments, the Participating

all,
of the Applicable Certificates held by the Non-Participating Certificateholders,
pro rata based on the ratio of the Fractional Undivided Interest in the
Applicable Trust held by each such Participating Certificateholder to the
Fractional Undivided Interests in the Applicable Trust held by all Participating
Certificateholders and, following the consummation of such purchase, to make
the
election to surrender the Policy and make such payments (it
being
understood and agreed that the Policy may be surrendered if and only if the
Participating Certificateholders hold
all,
but
not less than all of the Applicable Certificates, and unanimously elect to
so
surrender the Policy and make such payments, in each case, whether initially
or
following the purchase of Applicable Certificates from Non-Participating
Certificateholders).
Payment
of the purchase price of all the Applicable Certificates held by
Non-Participating Certificateholders and the payment of all Policy Provider
Amounts (other than Certain Excess Reimbursement Obligations) and Liquidity
Obligations shall, in each case, be made by the Participating Certificateholders
based on the ratio of the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Applicable Trust
held by each such Participating Certificateholder to the Fractional Undivided
Interests in the Applicable Trust held by all Participating Certificateholders.

of
the Policy Provider and the Primary Liquidity Provider under the Operative
Agreements and the Trustee shall direct the Subordination Agent to surrender
(or
cause the surrender of) the Policy to the Policy Provider for cancellation
(thereby releasing the Policy Provider from its obligations under the Policy).
Upon such surrender and payments, the Primary Liquidity Facility shall be
terminated in accordance therewith. Following any such surrender of the Policy
to the Policy Provider for cancellation and payment of the Policy Provider
Amounts (other than Certain Excess Reimbursement Obligations) and the Liquidity
Obligations, the Applicable Certificates shall no longer be entitled to the
benefits of the Policy or the Primary Liquidity Facility.
(b) By
acceptance of its Applicable Certificate, each Applicable Certificateholder
agrees that, in the event that (i) none of the Class B Certificateholders has
elected to exercise its right to purchase pursuant to clause (a) above or (ii)
any Class B Certificateholder has so elected to exercise such right, but has
not
exercised its right to surrender the Policy pursuant to clause (a) above, the
Policy Provider, if it is then the Controlling Party and no Policy Provider
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and 120 days have elapsed since
the occurrence of a Triggering Event that is continuing, shall have the right
to
purchase all, but not less than all, of the Applicable Certificates upon 20
days’ written notice to the Trustee, the Other Trustee and the Applicable
Certificateholders; provided, that upon receipt of any such purchase notice,
the
Applicable Certificateholders shall have the right to elect upon written notice
to the Trustee, the Policy Provider and all of the other Applicable
Certificateholders given prior to the end of such 20-day period to surrender
the
Policy to the Policy Provider for cancellation (thereby releasing the Policy
Provider from its obligations under the Policy) and to pay (or cause to be
paid)
both of the following: (i) to the Policy Provider, to the extent not paid
otherwise, all Policy Provider Amounts (other than Certain Excess Reimbursement
Obligations) and (ii) to the Primary Liquidity Provider all outstanding
Liquidity Obligations. If any of the Applicable Certificateholders (the
“Non-Participating
Class G Certificateholders”)

to make such election or fails to notify the Applicable Certificateholders
making such election (together with any Applicable Certificateholders joining
in
such election, the “Participating

Participating Class G Certificateholders in surrendering the Policy and making
such payments, the Participating Class G Certificateholders shall have the
right
to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Applicable Certificates held
by
such Non-Participating Class G Certificateholders, pro rata based on the ratio
of the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Applicable Trust held by each such
Participating Class G Certificateholder to the total Fractional Undivided
Interests in the Applicable Trust held by all Participating Class G
Certificateholders, and, following the consummation of such purchase, to make
the election to surrender the Policy in the manner provided in the immediately
preceding sentence and make such payments (it being understood
and
agreed that the Policy may only be surrendered if and only if the Participating
Class G Certificateholders hold all, but not less than all of the Applicable
Certificates whether initially or following the purchase of Applicable
Certificates, and unanimously elect to so surrender the Policy and make such
payments, in each case, whether initially or following the purchase of the
Applicable Certificates from Non-Participating Class G Certificateholders from
Non-Participating Class G Certificateholders). Payment of the purchase price
of
all Applicable Certificates held by Non-Participating Class G Certificateholders
and the payment of the Policy Provider Amounts (other than Certain Excess
Reimbursement Obligations) and Liquidity Obligations shall, in each case, be
made by the Participating Class G Certificateholders based on the ratio of
the
Fractional Undivided Interest in the Applicable Trust held by each such
Participating Class G Certificateholder to the total Fractional Undivided
Interests in the Applicable Trust held by all Participating Class G
Certificateholders. Following all such payments, the Trustee shall direct the
Subordination Agent to surrender or cause the surrender of the Policy to the
Policy Provider for cancellation (thereby releasing the Policy Provider from
its
obligations under the Policy). Upon such surrender and payments, the Primary
Liquidity Facility shall be terminated in accordance therewith. Following any
such surrender of the Policy to the Policy Provider for cancellation and payment
of the Policy Provider Amounts (other than Certain Excess Reimbursement
Obligations) and the Liquidity Obligations, the Applicable Certificates shall
no
longer be entitled to the benefits of the Policy or the Primary Liquidity
Facility.
The
purchase price with respect to the Applicable Certificates shall be equal to
the
Pool Balance of the Applicable Certificates, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to the date of such purchase, without Premium or Break Amount,
but including any other amounts then due and payable to the Applicable
Certificateholders under the Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any
Note
Document or on or in respect of the Applicable Certificates; provided,
however,
that no
such purchase of Applicable Certificates shall be effective unless the
purchaser(s) shall certify to the Trustee that contemporaneously with such
purchase, such purchaser(s) is (are) purchasing, pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement and, in the case of any purchase of the Applicable Certificates
pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 5.01 and the Other Agreement,
all of the Applicable Certificates. Each payment of the purchase price of the
Applicable Certificates referred to in the first sentence hereof shall be made
to an account or accounts designated by the Trustee and each such purchase
shall
be subject to the terms of this Section 5.01. Each Applicable
Certificateholder agrees by its acceptance of its Applicable Certificate that
(at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Triggering
Event) it will, upon payment from such Class B Purchasers, Participating
Class G Certificateholders or the Policy Provider, as the case may be, of the
purchase price set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph,
(i) forthwith sell, assign, transfer and convey to the purchaser(s) thereof
(without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind except for its own
acts), all of the right, title, interest and obligation of such Applicable
Certificateholder in the Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Above-Cap
Liquidity Facility, the Primary Liquidity Facility, the Policy, the Note
Documents and all Applicable Certificates held by such Applicable
Certificateholder (excluding all right, title and interest under any of the
foregoing to the extent such right, title or interest is with respect to an
obligation not then due and payable as respects any action or inaction or state
of affairs occurring prior to such sale) (and the purchaser shall assume all
of
such Applicable Certificateholder’s obligations under the Agreement, the
Intercreditor Agreement, the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility, the Primary Liquidity
Facility, the Policy, the Note Documents and all such Applicable Certificates)
and (ii) if such purchase occurs
after
a
Record Date relating to any distribution and prior to or on the related
Distribution Date, forthwith turn over to the purchaser(s) of its Applicable
Certificate all amounts, if any, received by it on account of such distribution.
The Applicable Certificates will be deemed to be purchased on the date payment
of the purchase price is made notwithstanding the failure of the Applicable
Certificateholders to deliver any Applicable Certificates and, upon such a
purchase, (I) the only rights of the Applicable Certificateholders will be
to deliver the Applicable Certificates to the purchaser(s) and receive the
purchase price for such Applicable Certificates and (II) if the
purchaser(s) shall so request, such Applicable Certificateholder will comply
with all the provisions of Section 3.04 of the Basic Agreement to enable
new Applicable Certificates to be issued to the purchaser in such denominations
as it shall request. All charges and expenses in connection with the issuance
of
any such new Applicable Certificates shall be borne by the purchaser
thereof.
As
used
in this Section 5.01 and elsewhere in this Trust Supplement, the terms
“Class B Certificateholder”, “Class B Trust” and “Class B
Trustee” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the
Intercreditor Agreement.
(c) By
their
acceptance of the Applicable Certificates, the Applicable Certificateholders
hereby agree that the surrender of the Policy to the Policy Provider for
cancellation as contemplated in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5.01 shall
(i) constitute an acknowledgment that the Applicable Certificates are no longer
entitled to the benefits of Section 3.6 of the Intercreditor Agreement and
(ii)
without any further action by such Applicable Certificateholder, have the
immediate effect of releasing the Policy Provider from its obligations under
the
Policy.
(d) This
Section 5.01 supersedes and replaces Section 6.01(b) of the Basic
Agreement, with respect to the Applicable Trust.
Section 5.02.
Amendment
of Section 6.05 of the Basic Agreement.
Section 6.05 of the Basic Agreement shall be amended, with respect to the

by such Certificateholders or the Trustee to such Loan Trustee with respect
thereto,” set forth in the first sentence thereof.

the respective terms thereof, to perform its obligations thereunder. Upon
request of the Company and the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions
specified in the Underwriting Agreement, the Trustee shall execute, deliver,
authenticate, issue and sell Applicable Certificates in authorized denominations

Trust, in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement evidencing the entire
ownership interest in the Applicable Trust, which amount equals the maximum
aggregate principal amount of Equipment Notes which may be purchased by the
Trustee pursuant to the NPA. Except as provided in Sections 3.03, 3.04,
3.05 and 3.06 of the Basic Agreement, the Trustee shall not
execute,
authenticate or deliver Applicable Certificates in excess of the aggregate
amount specified in this paragraph. The provisions of this Section 6.01(a)

in
the Agreement. By its acceptance of an Applicable Certificate, each initial
Applicable Certificateholder, as a grantor of the Applicable Trust, joins with
the Trustee in the creation of the Applicable Trust. The provisions of this
Section 6.01(c) supersede and replace the provisions of Section 2.03
of the Basic Agreement, with respect to the Applicable Trust.

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.
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.
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.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

THIS

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
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.
(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.
(c) General.
By
acceptance of any Applicable Certificate, each Holder of such an Applicable
Certificate will be deemed to:
(i)
Represent
that it is accepting such 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;
(ii)
Agree
that any sale or other transfer by it of any Applicable Certificate will only
be
made to a QIB;
(iii)
Agree
that it will deliver to each person to whom it transfers Applicable Certificates
notice of these restrictions on transfer of the Applicable Certificates;
(iv)
Agree
that no registration of the transfer of an Applicable Certificate will be made
unless the transferee completes and submits to the Trustee the form included
on
the reverse of the Applicable Certificate in which it states 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;
(v)
Understand
that the Applicable Certificates will bear a legend substantially to the effect
of the Restricted Legend;
(vi)
Acknowledge
that the Company, the Trustee, the Underwriter, and others will rely on the
truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties
and agreements and agree that, if any of the acknowledgments, representations,
warranties and agreements deemed to have been made by its purchase of the
Applicable Certificates is no longer accurate, it shall promptly notify the
Company, the Trustee and the Underwriter. If it is acquiring any Applicable
Certificates as a fiduciary or agent of one or more investor accounts, it
represents that it has sole investment discretion with respect to each such
investor account and that it has full power to make the foregoing
acknowledgments, representations and agreements on behalf of each such investor
account;
(vii)
Acknowledge
that the foregoing restrictions apply to holders of beneficial interests in
the
Applicable Certificates as well as to registered holders of Applicable
Certificates; and
(viii)
Acknowledge
that the Trustee will not be required to accept for registration of transfer
any
Applicable Certificate unless evidence satisfactory to the Company and the
Trustee that the restrictions on transfer set forth herein have been complied
with is submitted to them.
Until
such time as no Applicable Certificates remain Outstanding, the Registrar shall
retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received
pursuant to this Section 3.05. The Trustee, if not the Registrar at such
time, shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters,
notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving
of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

created by Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”),
pursuant to a Pass Through Trust Agreement, dated as of
September 25,
1997 (the “Basic
Agreement”),
between the Trustee and Continental Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the
“Company”),
as
supplemented by Trust Supplement No. 2006-1B 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 2006-1B” (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.
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
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

employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income

Advances.
The
Primary Liquidity Provider hereby irrevocably agrees, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances to the Borrower from time

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

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

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
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
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,
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
Regular Distribution Date and, in the event of the payment of principal of
such
Base Rate Advance on a day other than a Regular Distribution Date, on the date
of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal
repaid).
(e) Each
outstanding Unapplied Non-Extension Advance shall bear interest in an amount
equal to the Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Primary Cash
Collateral Account plus the Applicable Margin for such Unapplied Non-Extension
Advance on the amount of such Unapplied Non-Extension Advance from time to
time,
payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.
(f) Each
amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or
other
amounts or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, installments of interest
on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus 2.00% until paid.
(g) Each
change in the Base Rate shall become effective immediately. The rates of
interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance or other
amount shall be referred to as the “Applicable
Liquidity Rate”.
Section
3.08 Replacement
of Borrower.

central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for
the
Primary Liquidity Provider (or its Lending Office) to maintain or fund its
LIBOR
Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower by the Primary Liquidity Provider,
the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be converted to

available to the Primary Liquidity Provider; provided,
that
the Primary Liquidity Provider shall be under no obligation to take any step
that, in its good-faith opinion would (i) result in its incurring any material

by

Agreement, the Fee Letter applicable to this Agreement, the Intercreditor
Agreement or the Note Purchase Agreement; provided,
however,
that

to

of

Section

of the Primary Liquidity Provider.
(a)
Neither the Primary Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers, employees,
directors or Affiliates shall be liable or responsible for: (i) the use which
may be made of the Advances or any acts or omissions of the Borrower or any
beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (ii) the validity,
sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even
if
such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
fraudulent or forged; or (iii) the making of Advances by the Primary Liquidity
Provider against delivery of a Notice of Borrowing and other documents which
do
not comply with the terms hereof; provided,
however,
that
the Borrower shall have a claim against the Primary Liquidity Provider, and
the
Primary Liquidity Provider shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of
any
damages suffered by the Borrower which were the result of (A) the Primary
Liquidity Provider’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in
determining
whether documents presented hereunder comply with the terms hereof, or (B)
any
breach by the Primary Liquidity Provider of any of the terms of this Agreement
or the Intercreditor Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Primary
Liquidity Provider’s failure to make lawful payment hereunder after the delivery
to it by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing strictly complying with the
terms
and conditions hereof. In no event, however, shall the Primary Liquidity
Provider be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss
of
profits, business or anticipated savings).
(b) Neither
the Primary Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers, employees, directors
or
Affiliates shall be liable or responsible in any respect for (i) any error,
omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any
message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with this Agreement or
any
Notice of Borrowing delivered hereunder, or (ii) any action, inaction or
omission which may be taken by it in good faith, absent willful misconduct
or
gross negligence (in which event the extent of the Primary Liquidity Provider’s
potential liability to the Borrower shall be limited as set forth in the
immediately preceding paragraph), in connection with this Agreement or any
Notice of Borrowing.
Section
7.07 Costs,
Expenses and Taxes.
The
Borrower agrees to pay, or cause to be paid (A) on the Effective Date and on
such later date or dates on which the Primary Liquidity Provider shall make
demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel for the Primary
Liquidity Provider) of the Primary Liquidity Provider in connection with the
preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, filing and recording of this
Agreement, any other Operative Agreement and any other documents which may
be
delivered in connection with this Agreement and (B) on demand, all reasonable
costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of the
Primary Liquidity Provider in connection with (i) the enforcement of this
Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, (ii) the modification or amendment
of, or supplement to, this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or such
other documents which may be delivered in connection herewith or therewith
(whether or not the same shall become effective) or any waiver or consent
thereunder (whether or not the same shall become effective) or (iii) any action
or proceeding relating to any order, injunction, or other process or decree
restraining or seeking to restrain the Primary Liquidity Provider from paying
any amount under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other
Operative Agreement or otherwise affecting the application of funds in the
Primary Cash Collateral Account. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and
all
recording, stamp and other similar taxes and fees payable or determined to
be
payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of
this
Agreement, any other Operative Agreement and such other documents, and agrees
to
hold the Primary Liquidity Provider harmless from and against any and all
liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission
to
pay such taxes or fees.
Section
7.08 Binding
Effect; Participations.
(a) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and
the
Primary Liquidity Provider and their respective successors and assigns, except
that neither the Primary Liquidity Provider (except as otherwise provided in
this Section 7.08) nor (except as contemplated by Section 3.08) the Borrower
shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any
interest herein without the prior written consent of the other party, subject
to
the requirements of Section 7.08(b). The Primary
Liquidity
Provider may grant participations herein or in any of its rights hereunder
(including, without limitation, funded participations and participations in
rights to receive interest payments hereunder) and under the other Operative
Agreements to such Persons (other than Continental and its Affiliates) as the
Primary Liquidity Provider may in its sole discretion select, subject to the
requirements of Section 7.08(b). No such granting of participations by the
Primary Liquidity Provider, however, will relieve the Primary Liquidity Provider
of its obligations hereunder. In connection with any participation or any
proposed participation, the Primary Liquidity Provider may disclose to the
participant or the proposed participant any information that the Borrower is
required to deliver or to disclose to the Primary Liquidity Provider pursuant
to
this Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Primary Liquidity
Provider’s source of funds may derive in part from its participants.
Accordingly, references in this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements
to
determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, increased costs,
reduced receipts, additional amounts due pursuant to Section 3.03 and the like
as they pertain to the Primary Liquidity Provider shall be deemed also to
include those of each of its participants that are banks (subject, in each
case,
to the maximum amount that would have been incurred by or attributable to the
Primary Liquidity Provider directly if the Primary Liquidity Provider, rather
than the participant, had held the interest participated).
(b) If,
pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Primary Liquidity Provider sells any
participation in this Agreement to any bank or other entity (each, a
“Transferee”),
then,
concurrently with the effectiveness of such participation, the Transferee shall
(i) represent to the Primary Liquidity Provider (for the benefit of the Primary
Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) either (A) that it is incorporated under
the laws of the United States or a state thereof or (B) that under applicable
law and treaties, no Taxes will be required to be withheld with respect to
any
payments to be made to such Transferee in respect of this Agreement, (ii)
furnish to the Primary Liquidity Provider and the Borrower either (x) a
statement that it is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a
state
thereof or (y) if it is not so incorporated, two copies of a properly completed
United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, as
appropriate, or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by
the
Internal Revenue Service certifying, in each case, such Transferee’s entitlement
to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding Tax in respect
to
any and all payments to be made hereunder, and (iii) agree (for the benefit
of
the Primary Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) to provide the Primary
Liquidity Provider and the Borrower a new Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, as
appropriate, (A) on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes
obsolete or (B) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
most
recent form previously delivered by it and prior to the immediately following
due date of any payment by the Borrower hereunder, certifying in the case of
a
Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI that such Transferee is entitled to a complete
exemption from United States federal withholding tax on payments under this
Agreement. Unless the Borrower has received forms or other documents reasonably
satisfactory to it (and required by applicable law) indicating that payments
hereunder are not subject to United States federal withholding tax, the Borrower
will withhold taxes as required by law from such payments at the applicable
statutory rate.
(c) Notwithstanding
the other provisions of this Section 7.08, the Primary Liquidity Provider may
assign and pledge all or any portion of the Advances owing to it to any Federal
Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant
to
Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any
Operating Circular issued
by
such
Federal Reserve Bank, provided
that any
payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the Borrower to the Primary
Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy
the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect of such assigned Advance to the
extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release the Primary Liquidity
Provider from its obligations hereunder.
Section
7.09 Severability.
Any
provision of this Agreement which is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition, unenforceability or non-authorization without invalidating
the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or
legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to each party hereto at its address
set
forth in Section 7.02 hereof, or at such other address of which the Primary
Liquidity Provider shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and
(iv) agrees
that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in
any
other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other
jurisdiction.
(b) THE
BORROWER AND THE PRIMARY LIQUIDITY PROVIDER EACH HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR
RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON
OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE
SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED,
including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty
claims and all other common law and statutory claims. The Borrower and the

counsel, and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights
following consultation with such legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE,

This
Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to
which the Primary Liquidity Provider is a party constitute the entire agreement
of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes

MASTER
AGREEMENT
dated
as
of
June
9, 2006
between
Morgan
Stanley Capital Services Inc. (“Party A”)
|
and
|
Wilmington
Trust Company (“Party B”),
in
its capacity as Subordination Agent on
behalf
of the Trustee under the Continental
Airlines
Pass Through Trust 2006-1G
|
have
entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each
a
“Transaction”) that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which
includes the schedule (the “Schedule”), and the documents and other confirming
evidence (each a “Confirmation”) exchanged between the parties confirming those
Transactions.
Accordingly,
the parties agree as follows:
1. Interpretation
(a) Definitions.
The
terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have the meanings
therein
specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.
(b) Inconsistency.
In the
event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Schedule and the
other
provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule will prevail. In the
event of
any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this Master
Agreement (including the Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for
the
purpose of the relevant Transaction.
(c) Single
Agreement.
All
Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact that this Master
Agreement
and all Confirmations form a single agreement between the parties (collectively
referred to as this “Agreement”), and the parties would not otherwise enter
into any Transactions.
2. Obligations
(a) General
Conditions.
(i) Each
party will make each payment or delivery specified in each Confirmation
to be
made by it, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement.
(ii) Payments
under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value on that date
in the
place of the account specified in the relevant Confirmation or otherwise
pursuant to this Agreement, in freely transferable funds and in the manner
customary for payments in the required currency. Where settlement is by
delivery
(that is, other than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt
on the
due date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise
specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this
Agreement.
(iii) Each
obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1) the condition
precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect
to
the other party has occurred and is continuing, (2) the condition precedent
that
no Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred
or
been effectively designated and (3) each other applicable condition precedent
specified in this Agreement.
(b) Change
of Account.
Either
party may change its account for receiving a payment or delivery by giving
notice to the other party at least five Local Business Days prior to the
scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which such change applies
unless
such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable objection to such
change.
(c) Netting.
If
on any
date amounts would otherwise be payable:—
(i) in
the
same currency; and
(ii) in
respect of the same Transaction,
by
each
party to the other, then, on such date, each party’s obligation to make payment
of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and,
if the
aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds
the
aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other party,
replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate amount
would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the larger
aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.
The
parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount
will
be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the
same
currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such amounts
are
payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made in
the
Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above will
not
apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election,
together
with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not,
or will
cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This election may
be made
separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply separately
to
each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive payments
or
deliveries.
(d) Deduction
or Withholding for Tax.
(i) Gross-Up.
All
payments under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding
for or on account of any Tax unless such deduction or withholding is required
by
any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental
revenue authority, then in effect. If a party is so required to deduct
or
withhold, then that party (“X”) will:—
(1) promptly
notify the other party (“Y”) of such requirement;
(2) pay
to
the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld
(including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from any
additional amount paid by X to Y under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon
the
earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or
receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Y;
(3) promptly
forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation
reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such payment to such authorities;
and
(4) if
such
Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to the payment to which
Y is
otherwise entitled under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary
to ensure that the net amount actually received by Y (free and clear of
Indemnifiable Taxes, whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full
amount
Y would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.
However, X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to the
extent
that it would not be required to be paid but for:—
(A)
the
failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section
4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or
(B)
the
failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to Section 3(f) to be accurate
and true unless such failure would not have occurred but for (I) any action
taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction,
on
or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of
whether
such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement)
or
(II) a Change in Tax Law.
(ii) Liability.
If:—
(1) X
is
required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant
governmental revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding in
respect
of which X would not be required to pay an additional amount to Y under
Section
2(d)(i)(4);
(2) X
does
not so deduct or withhold; and
(3) a
liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against X,
then,
except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability resulting
from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such liability (including
any related liability for interest, but including any related liability
for
penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or perform any agreement
contained
in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).
(e) Default
Interest; Other Amounts. Prior
to
the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in
respect
of the relevant Transaction, a party that defaults in the performance of
any
payment obligation will, to the extent permitted by law and subject to
Section
6(c), be required to pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on
the
overdue amount to the other party on demand in the same currency as such
overdue
amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date for payment
to
(but excluding) the date of actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest
will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number
of
days elapsed. If, prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an
Early
Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party defaults
in the
performance of any obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will
compensate the other party on demand if and to the extent provided for
in the
relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.
3. Representations
Each
party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed
to be
repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into
and,
in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until
the
termination of this Agreement) that:—

of
general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding
in equity or at law)).
(b) Absence

or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow such other party or
its
Credit Support Provider to make a payment under this Agreement or any applicable
Credit Support Document without any deduction or withholding for or on
account
of any Tax or with such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so
long as
the completion, execution or submission of such form or document would
not
materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the party in receipt
of
such demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and completed
in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to such other party and to be executed and
to be
delivered with any reasonably required certification,
in
each
case by the date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation or, if
none is
specified, as soon as reasonably practicable.
(b) Maintain
Authorisations. It
will
use all reasonable efforts to maintain in full force and effect all consents
of
any governmental or other authority that are required to be obtained by
it with
respect to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is
a party
and will use all reasonable efforts to obtain any that may become necessary
in
the future.
(c) Comply
with Laws.
It
will
comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and orders to
which it
may be subject if failure so to comply would materially impair its ability
to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document
to
which it is a party.
(d) Tax
Agreement. It
will
give notice of any failure of a representation made by it under Section
3(f) to
be accurate and true promptly upon learning of such failure.
(e) Payment
of Stamp Tax.
Subject
to Section 11, it will pay any Stamp Tax levied or imposed upon it or in
respect
of its execution or performance of this Agreement by a jurisdiction in
which it
is incorporated,
organised, managed
and controlled, or considered to have its seat, or in which a branch or
office
through which it is acting for the purpose of this Agreement is located
(“Stamp
Tax Jurisdiction”) and will indemnify the other party against any Stamp Tax
levied or imposed upon the other party or in respect of the other party’s
execution or performance of this Agreement by any such Stamp Tax Jurisdiction
which is not also a Stamp Tax Jurisdiction with respect to the other
party.
5. Events
of Default and Termination Events
(a) Events
of Default. The
occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit
Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of
any of
the following events constitutes an event of default (an “Event of Default”)
with respect to such party:—
(i) Failure
to Pay or Deliver. Failure
by the party to make, when due, any payment under this Agreement or delivery
under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) required to be made by it if such failure
is not
remedied on or before the third Local Business Day after notice of such
failure
is given to the party;
(ii) Breach
of Agreement. Failure
by the party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation (other
than
an obligation to make any payment under this Agreement or delivery under
Section
2(a)(i) or 2(e) or to give notice of a Termination Event or any agreement
or
obligation under Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)) to be complied with
or
performed by the party in accordance with this Agreement if such failure
is not
remedied on or before the thirtieth day after notice of such failure is
given to
the party;
(iii) Credit
Support Default.
(1) Failure
by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party to comply with
or
perform any agreement or obligation to be complied with or performed by
it in
accordance with any Credit Support Document if such failure is continuing
after
any applicable grace period has elapsed;
(2) the
expiration or termination of such Credit Support Document or the failing
or
ceasing of such Credit Support Document to be in full force and effect
for the
purpose of this Agreement (in either case other than in accordance with
its
terms) prior to the satisfaction of all obligations of such party under
each
Transaction to which such Credit Support Document relates without the written
consent of the other party; or
(3) the
party
or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects,
in
whole or in part, or challenges the validity of, such Credit Support
Document;
(iv) Misrepresentation.
A
representation (other than a representation under Section 3(e) or (f))
made or
repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated by the party or any Credit
Support Provider of such party in this Agreement or any Credit Support
Document
proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when
made or
repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated;
(v) Default
under Specified Transaction. The
party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified
Entity of such party (1) defaults under a Specified Transaction and, after
giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, there
occurs
a liquidation of, an acceleration of obligations under, or an early termination
of, that Specified Transaction, (2) defaults, after giving effect to any
applicable notice requirement or grace period, in making any payment or
delivery
due on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on
early
termination of, a Specified Transaction (or such default continues for
at least
three Local Business Days if there is no applicable notice requirement
or grace
period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or
in
part, a Specified Transaction (or such action is taken by any person or
entity
appointed or empowered to operate it or act on its behalf);
(vi) Cross
Default. If
“Cross
Default” is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, the
occurrence or existence of (1) a default, event of default or other similar
condition or event (however
described)
in respect of such party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or
any
applicable Specified Entity of such party under one or more agreements
or
instruments relating to Specified Indebtedness of any of them (individually
or
collectively) in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable Threshold
Amount (as specified in the Schedule) which has resulted in such Specified
Indebtedness becoming, or becoming capable at such time of being declared,
due
and payable under such agreements or instruments, before it would otherwise
have
been due and payable or (2) a default by such party, such Credit Support
Provider or such Specified Entity (individually or collectively) in making
one
or more payments on the due date thereof in an aggregate amount of not
less than
the applicable Threshold Amount under such agreements or instruments (after
giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace
period);
(vii) Bankruptcy.
The
party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified
Entity of such party:—
(1)
is

(2)
becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing
its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes
a general
assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors;
(4) institutes or has instituted against it a proceeding seeking a judgment
of
insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency
law or other similar law affecting creditors’ rights, or a petition is presented
for its winding-up or liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding
or
petition instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or petition
(A)
results in a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an order
for
relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or liquidation or (B)
is not
dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained in each case within 30 days
of the
institution or presentation thereof; (5) has a resolution passed for its
winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant to
a
consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (6) seeks or becomes subject to
the
appointment of an administrator, provisional liquidator, conservator, receiver,
trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or substantially
all its assets; (7) has a secured party take possession of all or substantially
all its assets or has a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration
or other
legal process levied, enforced or sued on or against all or substantially
all
its assets and such secured party maintains possession, or any such process
is
not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained, in each case within 30
days
thereafter; (8) causes or is subject to any event with respect to it which,
under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect
to any of
the events specified in clauses (1)
to
(7)
(inclusive); or (9) takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its
consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts;
or
(viii) Merger
Without Assumption.
The
party
or any Credit Support Provider of such party consolidates or amalgamates
with,
or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets
to,
another entity and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger
or
transfer:—
(1) the
resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the obligations
of
such party or such Credit Support Provider under this Agreement or any
Credit
Support Document to which it or its predecessor was a party by operation
of law
or pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party
to this
Agreement; or
(2) the
benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend (without the consent
of
the other party) to the performance by such resulting, surviving or transferee
entity of its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Termination
Events.
The
occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any
Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party
of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the event is
specified
in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is specified in (ii) below or a
Tax
Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and, if
specified to be applicable, a Credit Event
Upon Merger
if the event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional Termination
Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v) below:—
(i) Illegality.
Due
to
the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law after the date on
which a
Transaction is entered into, or due to the promulgation of, or any change
in,
the interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with
competent
jurisdiction of any applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful
(other
than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party
(which
will be the Affected Party):—
(1) to
perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery
or
to receive a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction or to comply
with any other material provision of this Agreement relating to such
Transaction; or
(2) to
perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to perform, any
contingent or other obligation which the party (or such Credit Support
Provider)
has under any Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction;
(ii) Tax
Event. Due
to
(x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent
jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into
(regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to
a party
to this Agreement) or (y) a Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be
the
Affected Party) will, or there is a substantial likelihood that it will,
on the
next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other
party
an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4)
(except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or
(2)
receive a payment from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld
for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of interest under Section
2(e),
6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional amount is required to be paid in respect
of
such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A)
or (B));
(iii) Tax
Event Upon Merger. The
party
(the “Burdened Party”) on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either
(1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable
Tax
under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e),
6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been
deducted or withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect
of
which the other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other
than by
reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of
a party
consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or transferring
all
or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which will be the Affected
Party) where such action does not constitute an event described in Section
5(a)(viii);
(iv) Credit
Event Upon Merger. If
“Credit Event Upon Merger” is specified in the Schedule as applying to the
party, such party (“X”), any Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable
Specified Entity of X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with
or into,
or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and
such
action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but
the
creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially
weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity,
as
the case may be, immediately prior to such action (and, in such event,
X or its
successor or transferee, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party);
or
(v) Additional
Termination Event. If
any
“Additional Termination Event” is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation
as applying, the occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected
Party or Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional Termination
Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).
(c) Event
of Default and Illegality. If
an
event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to
an Event
of Default also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality
and will not constitute an Event of Default.
6. Early
Termination
(a) Right
to Terminate Following Event of Default. If
at
any
time an Event of Default with respect to a party (the “Defaulting Party”) has
occurred and is then continuing, the other party (the “Non-defaulting Party”)
may, by not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying
the
relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such
notice
is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding
Transactions. If, however, “Automatic Early Termination” is specified in the
Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect
of
all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence
with
respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1),
(3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time
immediately preceding the institution of
the
relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the
occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified
in
Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).
(b) Right
to Terminate Following Termination Event.
(i) Notice.
If
a
Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming
aware
of it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination
Event
and each Affected Transaction and will also give such other information
about
that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require.
(ii) Transfer
to Avoid Termination Event. If
either
an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(l) or a Tax Event occurs and there
is only
one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened
Party
is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right
to
designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable
efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, excluding
immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days after it gives
notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this
Agreement
in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates
so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.
If
the
Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give notice
to the
other party to that effect within such 20 day period, whereupon the other
party
may effect such a transfer within 30 days after the notice is given under
Section 6(b)(i).
Any
such
transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to and
conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party, which consent
will not be withheld if such other party’s policies in effect at such time would
permit it to enter into transactions with the transferee on the terms
proposed.
(iii) Two
Affected Parties. If
an
Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there are
two
Affected Parties, each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement
within 30 days after notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action
to
avoid that Termination Event.
(iv) Right
to Terminate. If:—
(1)
a
transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section 6(b)(iii),
as the
case may be, has not been effected with respect to all Affected Transactions
within 30 days after an Affected Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i);
or
(2)
an
Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional
Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened
Party is not the Affected Party,
either
party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case of a
Tax
Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event or an
Additional Termination Event if
there
is
more than one Affected Party, or the party which is not the Affected
Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional
Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party may, by not
more than 20 days notice to the other party and provided that the
relevant Termination Event is then
continuing,
designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an
Early
Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.
(c) Effect
of Designation.
(i) If
notice
designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a) or (b),
the
Early Termination Date will occur on the date so designated, whether or
not the
relevant Event of
Default
or Termination Event is then continuing.
(ii) Upon
the
occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date, no further
payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) in respect of the
Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but without prejudice
to
the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount, if any, payable in
respect
of an Early Termination Date shall be determined pursuant to Section
6(e).
(d) Calculations.
(i) Statement.
On
or as
soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an Early Termination
Date, each party will make the calculations on its part, if any, contemplated
by
Section 6(e) and will provide to the other party a statement (1) showing,
in
reasonable detail, such calculations (including all relevant quotations
and
specifying any amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details
of the
relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the
absence
of written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in determining
a
Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such quotation will
be
conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such
quotation.
(ii) Payment
Date. An
amount
calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Date under
Section
6(e) will be payable on the day that notice of the amount payable is effective
(in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated or occurs
as a
result of an Event of Default) and on the day which is two Local Business
Days
after the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the
case of
an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination
Event). Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted
under
applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) in
the
Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early Termination
Date
to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable Rate.
Such
interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual
number of days elapsed.
(e) Payments
on Early Termination. If
an
Early Termination Date occurs, the following provisions shall apply based
on the
parties’ election in the Schedule of a payment measure, either “Market
Quotation” or “Loss”, and a payment method, either the “First Method” or the
“Second Method”. If the parties fail to designate a payment measure or payment
method in the Schedule, it will be deemed that “Market Quotation” or the “Second
Method”, as the case may be, shall apply. The amount, if any, payable in respect
of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will
be
subject to any Set-off.
(i) Events
of Default. If
the
Early
Termination Date results from an Event of Default:—
(1) First
Method and Market Quotation. If
the
First Method and Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay
to the
Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the sum of
the
Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of
the
Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the
Unpaid
Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Termination Currency
Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.
(2) First
Method and Loss. If
the
First Method and Loss apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting
Party, if a positive number, the Non-defaulting Party’s Loss in respect of this
Agreement.
(3) Second
Method and Market Quotation. If
the
Second Method and Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal
to (A)
the sum of
the
Settlement Amount (determined by the
Non-defaulting
Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency
Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less
(B) the
Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting
Party. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay
it to
the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting
Party
will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.
(4) Second
Method and Loss. If
the
Second Method and Loss apply, an amount will be payable equal to the
Non-defaulting Party’s Loss in respect of this Agreement. If that amount is a
positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting
Party;
if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute
value
of that amount to the Defaulting Party.
(ii) Termination
Events. If
the
Early Termination Date results from a Termination Event:—
(1) One
Affected Party. If
there
is one Affected Party, the amount payable will be determined in accordance
with
Section 6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4),
if Loss
applies, except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party
and to
the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the Affected
Party
and the party which is not the Affected Party, respectively, and, if Loss
applies and fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, Loss
shall be
calculated in respect of all Terminated Transactions.
(2) Two
Affected Parties. If
there
are two Affected Parties:—
(A) if
Market
Quotation applies, each party will determine a Settlement Amount in respect
of
the Terminated Transactions, and an amount will be payable equal to (I)
the sum
of (a) one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of the
party
with the higher Settlement Amount (“X”) and the Settlement Amount of the party
with the lower Settlement Amount (“Y”) and (b) the Termination Currency
Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination Currency
Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and
(B) if
Loss
applies, each party will determine its Loss in respect of this Agreement
(or, if
fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all
Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be payable equal to one-half
of
the
difference between the Loss of the party with the higher Loss (“X”) and the
Loss
of
the
party with the lower Loss (“Y”).
If
the
amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative
number, X will pay the absolute value of that amount to Y.
(iii) Adjustment
for Bankruptcy. In
circumstances where an Early Termination Date occurs because “Automatic Early
Termination” applies in respect of a party, the amount determined under this
Section 6(e) will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and
permitted by law to reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party
to the
other under this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the
period
from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined
under Section 6(d)(ii).
(iv) Pre-Estimate.
The
parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an amount recoverable under
this
Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty. Such
amount
is payable for the loss of bargain and the loss
of protection
against future risks and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement
neither
party will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence
of
such losses.
7. Transfer
Subject
to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation
in or
under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of security or
otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the other
party,
except that:—
(a) a
party
may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation
or
amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially
all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any other right
or
remedy under this Agreement); and
(b) a
party
may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any amount
payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).
Any
purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be
void.
8. Contractual
Currency
(a) Payment
in the Contractual Currency. Each
payment under this Agreement will be made in the relevant currency specified
in
this Agreement for that payment (the “Contractual Currency”). To the extent
permitted by applicable law, any obligation to make payments under this
Agreement in the Contractual Currency will not be discharged or satisfied
by any
tender in any currency other than the Contractual Currency, except to the
extent
such tender results in the actual receipt by the party to which payment
is owed,
acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency
so
tendered into the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual
Currency of all amounts payable in respect of this Agreement. If for any
reason
the amount in the Contractual Currency so received falls short of the amount
in
the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party
required to make the payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable
law,
immediately pay such additional amount in the Contractual Currency as may
be
necessary to compensate for the shortfall. If for any reason the amount
in the
Contractual Currency so received exceeds the amount in the Contractual
Currency
payable in respect of this Agreement, the party receiving the payment will
refund promptly the amount of such excess.
(b) Judgments.
To
the
extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or order expressed
in a
currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered (i) for the payment
of
any
amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for the payment of any
amount
relating to any early termination in respect of this Agreement or (iii)
in
respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any
amount
described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking recovery, after recovery
in
full of the aggregate amount to which such party is entitled pursuant to
the
judgment or order, will be entitled to receive immediately from the other
party
the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual Currency received by such
party
as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency and will refund promptly
to
the other party any excess of the Contractual Currency received by such
party as
a consequence of sums paid in such other currency if such shortfall or
such
excess arises or results from any variation between the rate of exchange
at
which the Contractual Currency is converted into the currency of the judgment
or
order for the purposes of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange
at
which such party is able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith
in
converting the currency received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase
the
Contractual Currency with the amount of the currency of the judgment or
order
actually received by such party. The term “rate of exchange” includes, without
limitation, any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with
the
purchase of or conversion into the Contractual Currency.
(c) Separate
Indemnities.
To
the
extent permitted by applicable law, these indemnities constitute separate
and
independent obligations from the other obligations in this Agreement, will
be
enforceable as separate and independent causes of action, will apply
notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party to which any payment
is owed
and will not be affected by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being
made
for any other sums payable in respect of this Agreement.
(d) Evidence
of Loss. For
the
purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient for a party to demonstrate
that
it would have suffered a loss had an actual exchange or purchase been
made.
9. Miscellaneous
(a) Entire
Agreement. This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties
with
respect to its subject matter and supersedes all oral communication and
prior
writings with respect thereto.
(b) Amendments.
No
amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be
effective
unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission)
and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an exchange of telexes
or
electronic messages on an electronic messaging system.
(c) Survival
of Obligations. Without
prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and 6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties
under this Agreement will survive the termination of any
Transaction.
(d) Remedies
Cumulative. Except
as
provided in this Agreement, the rights, powers, remedies and privileges
provided
in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers,
remedies and privileges provided by law.
(e) Counterparts
and Confirmations.
(i)
This
Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it)
may be
executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission),
each of which will be deemed an original.
(ii)
The
parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each Transaction
from
the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or otherwise). A
Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable and may be executed
and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission) or
be
created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages
on an
electronic messaging system, which in each case will be sufficient for
all
purposes to evidence a binding supplement to this Agreement. The parties
will
specify therein or through another effective means that any such counterpart,
telex or electronic message constitutes a Confirmation.
(f) No
Waiver of Rights. A
failure
or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege in respect of this
Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or
partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege will not be presumed to preclude
any
subsequent or further exercise, of that right, power or privilege or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
(g) Headings.
The
headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and
are
not to affect the construction of or to be taken into consideration in
interpreting this Agreement.
10. Offices;
Multibranch Parties
(a) If
Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that
enters
into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home office
represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking
office
or jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation of such party, the obligations
of such party are the same as if it had entered into the Transaction through
its
head or home office. This representation will be deemed to be repeated
by such
party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into.
(b) Neither
party may change the Office through which it makes and receives payments
or
deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior written consent
of
the other party.
(c) If
a
party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such Multibranch
Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any Transaction
through
any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office through which it makes
and
receives payments or deliveries with respect to a Transaction will be specified
in the relevant Confirmation.
11. Expenses
A
Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the other
party
for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees
and Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by reason of the
enforcement and protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit
Support Document
to which
the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the early termination of
any
Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of collection.
12. Notices
(a) Effectiveness.
Any
notice or other communication in respect of this Agreement may be given
in any
manner set forth below (except that a notice or other communication under
Section 5 or 6 may not be given by facsimile transmission or electronic
messaging system) to the address or number or in accordance with the electronic
messaging system details provided (see the Schedule) and will be deemed
effective as indicated:—
(i) if
in
writing and delivered in person or by courier, on the date it is delivered;
(ii) if
sent
by telex, on the date the recipient’s answerback is received;
(iii) if

a
responsible employee of the recipient in legible form (it being agreed
that the
burden of proving receipt will be on the sender and will not be met by
a
transmission report generated by the sender’s facsimile machine);
(iv) if
sent
by certified or registered mail (airmail, if overseas) or the equivalent
(return
receipt requested), on the date that mail is delivered or its delivery
is
attempted; or
(v) if
sent
by electronic messaging system, on the date that electronic message is
received,
unless
the date of that delivery (or attempted delivery) or that receipt, as
applicable, is not a Local Business Day or that communication is delivered
(or
attempted) or received, as applicable, after the close of business on a
Local
Business Day, in which case that communication shall be deemed given and
effective on the first following day that is a Local Business Day.
(b) Change
of Addresses. Either
party may by notice to the other change the address, telex or facsimile
number
or electronic messaging system details at which notices or other communications
are to be given to it.
13. Governing
Law and Jurisdiction
(a) Governing
Law. This
Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law
specified
in the Schedule.
(b) Jurisdiction.
With
respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this Agreement
(“Proceedings”), each party irrevocably:—
(i) submits
to the jurisdiction of the English courts, if this Agreement is expressed
to be
governed by English law, or to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts
of
the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the
Borough of Manhattan in New York City, if this Agreement is expressed to
be
governed by the laws of the State of New York; and
(ii) waives
any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any
Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings
have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right
to
object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have
any
jurisdiction over such party.
Nothing
in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in any
other
jurisdiction (outside, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by
English
law, the Contracting States, as defined in Section 1(3) of the Civil
Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 or any modification, extension or
re-enactment thereof for the time being in force) nor will the bringing
of
Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of
Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.
(c) Service
of Process.
Each
party irrevocably appoints the Process Agent (if any) specified opposite
its name in the Schedule to receive, for it and on its behalf, service
of process in any Proceedings. If for any
reason any
party’s Process Agent is unable to act as such, such party will promptly notify
the other party and within 30 days appoint a substitute process agent acceptable
to the other party. The parties irrevocably consent to service of process
given
in the manner provided for notices in Section 12. Nothing in this Agreement
will
affect the right of either party to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law.
(d) Waiver
of Immunities. Each
party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law,
with respect to itself and its revenues and assets (irrespective of their
use or
intended use), all immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or other similar
grounds from (i) suit, (ii) jurisdiction of any court, (iii) relief by
way of
injunction, order for specific performance or for recovery of property,
(iv)
attachment of its assets (whether before or after judgment) and (v) execution
or
enforcement of any judgment to which it or its revenues or assets might
otherwise be entitled in any Proceedings in the courts of any jurisdiction
and
irrevocably agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that it
will not
claim any such immunity in any Proceedings.

“Loss”
means,
with respect to this Agreement or one or more Terminated Transactions,
as the
case may be, and a party, the Termination Currency Equivalent of an amount
that
party reasonably determines in good faith to be its total losses and costs
(or
gain, in which case expressed as a negative number) in connection with
this
Agreement or that Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions,
as
the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or, at
the
election of such party but without duplication, loss or cost incurred as
a
result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any
hedge or

includes
losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any payment or delivery required
to
have been made (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent)
on
or before the relevant Early Termination Date and not made, except, so
as to
avoid duplication, if Section 6(e)(i)(1) or (3) or 6(e)(ii)(2)(A) applies.
Loss
does not include a party’s legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses referred to
under Section 11. A party will determine its Loss as of the relevant Early
Termination Date, or, if that is not reasonably practicable, as of the
earliest
date thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A party may (but need not)
determine its Loss by reference to quotations of relevant rates or prices
from
one or more leading dealers in the relevant markets.
“Market
Quotation” means,
with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions and a party making
the
determination, an amount determined on the basis of quotations from Reference
Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount, if any, that would
be paid
to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by such party (expressed
as a
positive number) in consideration of an agreement between such party (taking
into account any existing Credit Support Document with respect to the
obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference Market-maker to enter
into
a transaction (the “Replacement Transaction”) that would have the effect of
preserving for such party the economic equivalent of any payment or delivery
(whether the underlying obligation was absolute or contingent and assuming
the
satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) by the parties under
Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant Early
Termination Date, have been required after that date. For this purpose,
Unpaid
Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions are to be excluded
but,
without limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for the relevant
Early Termination Date, have
been required
(assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after that
Early
Termination Date is to be included. The Replacement
Transaction would be subject to such documentation as such party and the
Reference Market-maker may, in good faith, agree. The party making the
determination (or its agent) will request each Reference Market-maker to
provide
its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as of the same day and
time
(without regard to different time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable
after the relevant Early Termination Date. The day and time as of which
those
quotations are to be obtained will be selected in good faith by the party
obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and, if each party
is so
obliged, after consultation with the other. If more than three quotations
are
provided, the Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations,
without regard to the quotations having the highest and lowest values.
If
exactly three such quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be
the
quotation remaining after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations.
For
this purpose, if more than one quotation has the same highest value or
lowest
value, then one of such quotations shall be disregarded. If fewer than
three
quotations are provided, it will be deemed that the Market Quotation in
respect
of such Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions cannot
be
determined.
“Non-default
Rate” means
a
rate per annum equal to the cost (without proof or evidence of any actual
cost)
to the Non-defaulting Party (as certified by it) if it were to fund the
relevant
amount.

Party” has
the
meaning specified in Section 6(a).
“Office”
means
a
branch or office of a party, which may be such party’s head or home
office.

Event of
Default”

event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would
constitute an Event of Default.

Market-makers” means

a
Market Quotation in good faith (a) from among dealers of the highest credit
standing which satisfy all the criteria that such party applies generally
at the
time in deciding whether to offer or to make an extension of credit and
(b) to
the extent practicable, from among such dealers having an office in the
same
city.
“Relevant
Jurisdiction” means,

(d) in
relation to any payment, from or through which such payment is
made.

or
similar right or requirement to which the payer of an amount under Section
6 is
entitled or subject (whether arising under this Agreement, another contract,

payer.
“Settlement
Amount” means,
with respect to a party and any Early Termination Date, the sum
of:—
(a) the
Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotations (whether positive
or
negative) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions
for which a Market Quotation is determined; and
(b) such
party’s Loss (whether positive or negative and without reference to any Unpaid
Amounts) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions
for
which a Market Quotation cannot be determined or would not (in the reasonable
belief of the party making the determination) produce a commercially reasonable
result.
“Specified
Entity” has
the
meanings specified in the Schedule.

Indebtedness” means,
subject to the Schedule, any obligation (whether present or future, contingent
or otherwise, as principal or surety or otherwise) in respect of borrowed

respect thereto) now existing or hereafter entered into between one party
to

Credit Support Provider of such other party or any applicable Specified

of such other party) which is a rate swap transaction, basis swap, forward
rate
transaction, commodity swap, commodity option, equity or equity index swap,

Date).

in
respect of any amount denominated in the Termination Currency, such Termination
Currency amount and, in respect of any amount denominated in a currency

Termination Currency determined by the party making the relevant determination
as being required to purchase such amount of such Other Currency as at

with
the Termination Currency at the rate equal to the spot exchange rate of
the
foreign exchange agent (selected as provided below) for the purchase of
such
Other Currency with the Termination Currency at or about 11:00 a.m. (in

(a) in respect of all Terminated Transactions, the amounts that became
payable (or that would have become payable but for Section 2(a)(iii)) to

Date
and which remain unpaid as at such Early Termination Date and (b) in
respect of each Terminated Transaction, for each obligation under

Attention:
Corporate Trust Administration
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
In
consideration of that certain ISDA Master Agreement dated as of June 9, 2006
between Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc., a Delaware corporation
(hereinafter "MSCS"), and Wilmington Trust Company, a Delaware banking
corporation, in its capacity as Subordination Agent on behalf of the Trustee
under the Continental Airlines Pass Through Trust 2006-1G (hereinafter
"Counterparty") (such ISDA Master Agreement, together with the Schedule thereto
and the Confirmation exchanged between the parties pursuant thereto, hereinafter
the "Agreement"), Morgan Stanley, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter "MS"),
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Counterparty, with effect
from the date of the Agreement, the due and punctual payment of all amounts
payable by MSCS under the Agreement when the same shall become due and payable,
whether on Scheduled Payment Dates, upon demand, upon declaration of termination
or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and giving effect
to
any applicable grace period under the Agreement. Upon failure of MSCS punctually
to pay any such amounts, MS agrees to pay or cause to be paid such amounts.
The
Counterparty agrees to demand payments from MS in writing at its address set
forth in the signature block of this Guarantee (or to such other address as
MS
may specify in writing), provided that delay by Counterparty in giving such
demand shall in no event affect MS's obligations under this
Guarantee.
MS
hereby
agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and
will not be discharged except by complete payment of the amounts payable under
the Agreement, irrespective of any claim as to the Agreement's validity,
regularity or enforceability or the lack of authority of MSCS to execute or
deliver the Agreement; any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or dissolution
or any proceeding of MSCS, including without limitation rejection of MSCS’s
payment obligations under the Agreement in such bankruptcy; any waiver of or
consent to any departure from or failure to enforce any other guarantee for
any
or all of MSCS’s payment obligations under the Agreement; or any change in or
amendment to the Agreement; or any waiver or consent by Counterparty with
respect to any provisions thereof; or the absence of any action to enforce
the
Agreement or the recovery of any judgment against MSCS or of any action to
enforce a judgment against MSCS under the Agreement; or any similar circumstance
which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense
of a
guarantor generally. MS hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand on MSCS
for
payment or otherwise, filing of claims, requirement of a prior proceeding
against MSCS and protest or notice. If at any time payment under the Agreement
is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned by Counterparty upon
the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of MSCS or MS or otherwise, MS's
obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated upon
such
restoration or return being made by Counterparty as though such payment had
not
been made.
MS
represents to Counterparty as of the date hereof, which representations will
be
deemed to be repeated by MS on each date on which a Transaction is entered
into,
that:
(1) it
is
duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation and has full power and legal right to execute and deliver this
Guarantee and to perform the provisions of this Guarantee on its part to be
performed;
(2) its
execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee have been and remain
duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not contravene any provision
of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or any law, regulation or
contractual restriction binding on it or its assets;
(3) all
consents, authorizations, approvals and clearances (including, without
limitation, any necessary exchange control approval) and notifications, reports
and registrations requisite for its due execution, delivery and performance
of
this Guarantee have been obtained from or, as the case may be, filed with the
relevant governmental authorities having jurisdiction and remain in full force
and effect and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with and no other
action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority having
jurisdiction is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and
(4) this
Guarantee is its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against it
in
accordance with its terms except as enforcement hereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws applicable to
MS
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights or by general equity
principles.
This
Guarantee may not be amended, modified, or waived except in writing executed
by
each of MS and the Counterparty.
MS
agrees
that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to termination, offset
or
counterclaim (all of which are expressly waived by MS).
This
Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. This Guarantee shall
continue to be effective if MS merges or consolidates with or into another
entity, loses its separate legal identity or ceases to exist. The rights and
obligations of MS under this Guarantee shall inure to the benefit of, and be
binding upon, its successors and permitted assigns. However, MS hereby agrees
that, other than as a result of a merger or the sale of substantially all of
the
assets of MS in which the surviving entity assumes the obligations of MS, it
shall not assign this Guarantee and all obligations arising from this Guarantee
without prior written consent of Counterparty, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld.
By
accepting this Guarantee and entering into the Agreement, Counterparty agrees
that MS shall be subrogated to all rights of Counterparty against MSCS in
respect of any amounts paid by MS pursuant to this Guarantee, provided that
MS
shall be entitled to enforce or to receive any payment arising out of or based
upon such right of subrogation only to the extent that it has paid all amounts
payable by MSCS under the Agreement; and provided further that nothing in this
paragraph shall affect the payment obligations of MS under this
Guarantee.
This
Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the
State of New York. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall
have
the respective meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.

and
authority to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged and to
own or
hold under lease its properties and to enter into and perform its obligations
under the Operative Documents to which it is a party as of such date.
Continental is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in
good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature and extent of the business
conducted by it, or the ownership of its properties, requires such
qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not give
rise
to a Material Adverse Change to Continental.
(b) Corporate
Authorization.
Continental has taken, or caused to be taken, all necessary corporate action
(including, without limitation, the obtaining of any consent or approval
of
stockholders required by its certificate of incorporation or by-laws) to
authorize the execution and delivery of each of the Operative Documents to
which
it is a party as of such date, and the performance of its obligations
thereunder.
(c) No
Violation.
The
execution and delivery by Continental of the Operative Documents to which
it is
a party as of such date, the performance by Continental of its obligations
thereunder and the consummation by Continental of the Transactions contemplated
thereby, do not and will not (a) violate any provision of the certificate
of
incorporation or by-laws of Continental, (b) violate any law, regulation,
rule
or order applicable to or binding on Continental or (c) violate or constitute
any default under (other than any violation or default that would not result
in
a Material Adverse Change to Continental), or result in the creation of any
Lien
(other than Permitted Liens, as defined in the Trust Indenture) upon the
Collateral under, any indenture, mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of trust,
conditional sales contract, lease, loan or other material agreement, instrument
or document to which Continental is a party or by which it or any of its
properties is bound.
(d) Approvals.
The
execution and delivery by Continental of the Operative Documents to which
it is
a party as of such date, the performance by Continental of its obligations
thereunder and the consummation by Continental of the Transactions contemplated
thereby do not and will not require the consent or approval of, or the giving
of
notice to, or the registration with, or the recording or filing of any documents
with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, (a) any trustee or
other
creditor of Continental and (b) any Government Entity, other than (i) such
as
are required under the Securities Act, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended, the securities and Blue Sky laws of the various states and of foreign
jurisdictions or rules and regulations of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., (ii) filings or recordings with the FAA and under the UCC
or
other laws in effect in any applicable jurisdiction governing the perfection
of
security
interests in the Collateral, which filings or recordings shall have been

being
duly filed or filed for recordation, on or before such date (and continuation
statements periodically), (iii) filings, recordings, notices or other
ministerial actions pursuant to any routine recording, contractual or regulatory
requirements applicable to it and (iv) filings, recordings, notices or other
actions contemplated by the Operative Documents in connection with the lease

(e) Valid
and Binding Agreements.
The
Operative Documents executed and delivered by Continental on or prior to
such
date have been duly executed and delivered by Continental and, assuming the
due
authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other party or parties
thereto (and, in the case of the Equipment Notes, when issued and authenticated
in the manner provided for in the Trust Indenture and delivered against payment
of the consideration therefor specified in the Note Purchase Agreement),
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Continental and are
enforceable against Continental in accordance with the respective terms thereof,
except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other similar laws affecting
the
rights of creditors generally and general principles of equity, whether
considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, and subject to principles
of
public policy limiting the right to enforce the indemnification and contribution
provisions contained therein, insofar as such provisions relate to
indemnification and contribution for liabilities arising under federal
securities laws.
(f) Litigation.
Except
as set forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus, Continental’s most recent Annual
Report on Form 10-K, as amended, filed by Continental with the SEC on or
prior
to the Closing Date or in any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report
on
Form 8-K filed by Continental with the SEC subsequent to such Form 10-K,
no
action, claim or proceeding is now pending or, to the actual knowledge of
Continental, threatened against Continental before any court, governmental
body,
arbitration board, tribunal or administrative agency, which is reasonably
likely
to be determined adversely to Continental and if determined adversely to
Continental is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Change to
Continental.
(g) Financial
Condition.
The
audited consolidated balance sheet of Continental with respect to Continental’s
most recent fiscal year included in Continental’s most recent Annual Report on
Form 10-K, as amended, filed by Continental with the SEC, and the related
consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the fiscal year
then
ended have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and present fairly in all

for
consideration received, hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably
guarantees to the Subordination Agent, subject only to the terms of this
Policy
(the “Policy”),
payment of the Insured Obligation. FGIC agrees to pay to the Subordination
Agent, in respect of each Distribution Date, an amount equal to (each, a
“Deficiency
Amount”):
(i) with
respect to any Regular Distribution Date (other than the Final Legal
Distribution Date), any shortfall in amounts available to the Subordination
Agent, after giving effect to the application of (a) available funds in
accordance with the subordination provisions of Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor
Agreement, (b) any drawing paid under the Primary Liquidity Facility in respect
of interest due on the Class G Certificates on such Distribution Date and
(c)
any withdrawal from the Primary Cash Collateral Account or the Above-Cap
Account
on such Distribution Date in respect of such interest due on the Class G
Certificates on such Distribution Date in accordance with the Intercreditor
Agreement, for the payment of all payments due and owing in respect of accrued
and unpaid interest on the Class G Certificates at the Stated Interest Rate
for
the Class G Certificates (calculated assuming that Continental will not cure
any
Payment Default);
(ii) with
respect to any Special Distribution Date (which is not also an Election
Distribution Date or a Special Distribution Date established pursuant to
the
succeeding clause (iii) or clause (iv) below) established by the Subordination
Agent by reason of its receipt of a Special Payment constituting the proceeds
from the sale of the Series G Equipment Note (as to which there has been
a
payment default or which has been accelerated) or of the Pledged Spare Parts
comprising all of the Pledged Spare Parts subject to the Lien of the Indenture
at the time of such sale, as the case may be (each, a
“Disposition”),
any
shortfall in the amounts available to the Subordination Agent, after giving
effect to the application of (a) available funds in accordance with the
subordination provisions of Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement, (b)
any
drawing paid under the Primary Liquidity Facility in respect of interest
due on
the Class G Certificates on such Distribution Date and (c) any withdrawal
from
the Primary Cash Collateral Account or the Above-Cap Account on such
Distribution Date in respect of such interest due on the Class G Certificates
on
such Distribution Date in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, for
(x)
the payment in full of the then outstanding Pool Balance of the Class G
Certificates and (y) the payment of accrued and unpaid interest thereon at
the
Stated Interest Rate for the Class G Certificates for the period from the
immediately preceding Regular Distribution Date to such Special Distribution
Date (calculated assuming that Continental will not cure any Payment
Default);
(iii)
with respect to the Special Distribution Date (a) that is the 25th
day (or
if such 25th
day is
not a Business Day, the next Business Day) following the Regular Distribution
Date on which a Payment Default with respect to the Series G Equipment Note
(without giving effect to any Acceleration or any payments by any Liquidity
Provider or the Policy Provider) exists and has been continuing for eight
consecutive Interest Periods ending on such Regular Distribution Date (the
“Default
Period”)
(regardless of whether the Subordination Agent has received a Special Payment
constituting proceeds from any Disposition during such Default Period) and
(b)
on which such Payment Default continues to exist, the then outstanding principal
amount of the Series G Equipment Note (less the amount of any Policy Drawings
previously paid by the Policy Provider in respect of principal) plus accrued
and
unpaid interest thereon at the Stated Interest Rate for the Class G Certificates
(calculated assuming that Continental will not cure any Payment Default)
for the
period from the immediately preceding Regular Distribution Date to such Special
Distribution Date; provided,
however,
if a
Policy Provider Election (as defined below) has been made or deemed to have
been
made at least ten (10) days prior to the end of any such 24-month period,
the
Deficiency Amount shall be an amount equal to (A) with respect to such Special
Distribution Date, any shortfall in the scheduled interest payable but not
paid
(whether by Continental or by the application of proceeds from the sale of
any
Collateral in connection with the exercise of remedies under the Indenture)
on
the Series G Equipment Note (calculated assuming that Continental will not
cure
any Payment Default) during such 24-month period (reduced by the amount of
funds
received from FGIC in connection with any prior Policy Drawing in respect
of any
“Deficiency Amount” defined in clause (ii) above and from the Primary Liquidity
Facility, the Primary Cash Collateral Account or the Above-Cap Account or
from
FGIC to the extent of any Policy Drawings in respect of any “Deficiency Amount”
defined in clause (i) above as a result of a failure of the Primary Liquidity
Provider to honor Interest Drawings under the Primary Liquidity Facility
or a
failure of the Above-Cap Liquidity Provider and the Liquidity Guarantor to
make
an Above-Cap Payment under the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility) and
(B) thereafter, on each Regular Distribution Date prior to the
establishment of an Election Distribution Date or a Special Distribution
Date
pursuant to the immediately succeeding clause (iv), an amount equal to any
shortfall in available funds required to pay scheduled principal (without
regard
to any Acceleration thereof or any Redemption Notice that Continental has
failed
to honor but taking into account any adjustments previously made for
redemptions) and
interest
payments (without regard to any funds available under the Primary Liquidity
Facility, the Primary Cash Collateral Account or the Above-Cap Account and
calculated assuming that Continental will not cure any Payment Default) at
the
Stated Interest Rate for the Class G Certificates scheduled to be paid on
the
Series G Equipment Note on the related payment date; except that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, FGIC shall not be required to pay (x) any
amount
in respect of principal under this clause (iii)(B) on any Regular Distribution
Date if it has theretofore honored Policy Drawings in respect of “Deficiency
Amounts” defined in clause (ii) above or this clause (iii) in respect of
principal of the Series G Equipment Note or if in connection with the exercise
of remedies under the Indenture there has previously been a reduction in
the
outstanding principal balance of the Series G Equipment Note as a result
of the
application of proceeds from the sale of Collateral, to the extent that after
giving effect to the distribution of any such amount or such proceeds or
both in
accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement the Pool Balance
of the Class G Certificates as of such Regular Distribution Date would be
less
than the Pool Balance of the Class G Certificates as of such Regular
Distribution Date were all payments on the Series G Equipment Note to have
been
made by Continental when due (without regard to any Acceleration thereof
or any
Redemption Notice that Continental has failed to honor but taking into account
any adjustments previously made for redemptions) in accordance with Schedule
1
to such Series G Equipment Note nor (y) for the avoidance of doubt, any amount
in respect of interest under this clause (B) on such Regular Distribution
Date
other than accrued and unpaid interest (at the applicable Stated Interest
Rate
calculated assuming that Continental will not cure any Payment Default) on
the
Pool Balance of the Class G Certificates as of such Regular Distribution
Date
(calculated without giving effect to any Policy Drawing in respect of principal
under this clause (iii)(B) on such Regular Distribution Date);
(iv) following
the giving or deemed giving of any Policy Provider Election, with respect
to any
Business Day (other than a Regular Distribution Date) elected by FGIC upon
twenty (20) days prior written notice (which shall be a Special Distribution
Date) and upon request by FGIC to the Subordination Agent to make a drawing
under this Policy, an amount (as determined after giving effect to the
application of available funds in accordance with the subordination provisions
of Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement) equal to the then outstanding
Pool Balance of the Class G Certificates and accrued and unpaid interest
on such
amount at the Stated Interest Rate for the Class G Certificates (calculated
assuming that Continental will not cure any Payment Default) from the
immediately preceding Regular Distribution Date to such Special Distribution
Date;
(v) with
respect to any Special Distribution Date which is an Election Distribution
Date,
an amount (as determined after giving effect to the application of available
funds in accordance with the subordination provisions of Section 3.2 of the
Intercreditor Agreement) equal to the then outstanding Pool Balance of the
Class
G Certificates and accrued and unpaid interest on such amount at the Stated
Interest Rate for the Class G Certificates (calculated assuming that Continental
will not cure any Payment Default) from the immediately preceding Regular
Distribution Date to such Election Distribution Date;
(vi) with
respect to the Final Legal Distribution Date of the Class G Certificates,
any
shortfall in amounts available to the Subordination Agent, after giving effect
to the application of (a) available funds in accordance with the subordination
provisions of Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) any drawing
paid
under the Primary Liquidity Facility in respect of interest due on the Class
G
Certificates on such Distribution Date and (c) any withdrawal from the Primary
Cash Collateral Account or the Above-Cap Account on such Distribution Date
in
respect of such interest due on the Class G Certificates on such Distribution
Date in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, for the payment in full
of
the Final Distributions (calculated as of such date but excluding any accrued
and unpaid Premium and calculated assuming that Continental will not cure
any
Payment Default) on the Class G Certificates; and
(vii) with
respect to any Distribution Date elected by the Subordination Agent on behalf
of
the Primary Liquidity Provider upon twenty (20) days’ prior notice (which notice
can be given in advance of the expiry of the 24-month period referred to
below
but cannot become effective until the Liquidity Provider Reimbursement Date
(as
defined below)) to FGIC, which Distribution Date is a Business Day no earlier
than the earliest to occur of (1) the date on which an Interest Drawing was
made
under the Primary Liquidity Facility and remains unreimbursed for twenty-four
(24) months, (2) the date on which any Downgrade Drawing, Non-Extension Drawing
or Final Drawing that was deposited into the Primary Cash Collateral Account
has
been applied to pay any scheduled payment of interest on the Class G
Certificates and remains unreplenished to the Primary Cash Collateral Account
or
unreimbursed to the Primary Liquidity Provider, as the case may be, for
twenty-four (24) months and (3) the date on which all of the Equipment Notes
have been accelerated and remain unpaid for twenty-four (24) months (in each
case, disregarding any reimbursements from payments by the Policy Provider
and
from any Special Payment constituting proceeds from the sale of Equipment
Notes
or Collateral during such 24-month period) (such Business Day, the “Liquidity
Provider Reimbursement Date”),
the
amount of all outstanding drawings under the Primary Liquidity Facility
plus
accrued
interest thereon (as determined pursuant to the Primary Liquidity Facility).
If
any
amount paid or required to be paid in respect of the Insured Obligation is
voided (a “Preference
Event”)
pursuant to a final (non-appealable) order of a court of competent jurisdiction
under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law
in an
Insolvency Proceeding, and, as a result of such a Preference Event, the
Beneficiary, the Primary Liquidity Provider, the Class G Trustee or any Class
G
Certificateholder is required to return such voided payment, or any portion
of
such voided payment made or to be made in respect of the Class G Certificates
(including any disgorgement from the Class G Certificateholders, the Class
G
Trustee or the Primary Liquidity Provider resulting from any such Insolvency
Proceeding, whether such disgorgement is determined on a theory of preferential
conveyance or otherwise) (an “Avoided
Payment”),
FGIC
will pay an amount equal to each such Avoided Payment, irrevocably, absolutely
and unconditionally, upon receipt by FGIC from the Beneficiary, the Primary
Liquidity Provider, the Class G Trustee or such Class G Certificateholder
of (x)
a certified copy of a final (non-appealable) order of a court of competent
jurisdiction in such Insolvency Proceeding to the effect that the Beneficiary,
the Primary Liquidity Provider, the Class G Trustee or such Class G
Certificateholder is required to return
any
such
payment or portion thereof because such payment was voided under applicable
law,
with respect to which order the appeal period has expired without an appeal
having been filed (the “Order”),
(y)
an assignment, in the form of Exhibit
D
hereto,
irrevocably assigning to FGIC all rights and claims of the Beneficiary, the
Primary Liquidity Provider, the Class G Trustee or such Class G
Certificateholder relating to or arising under such Avoided Payment and
appointing FGIC as the agent of the Beneficiary, the Primary Liquidity Provider,
the Class G Trustee or such Class G Certificateholder in respect of such
Avoided
Payment (including, without limitation, for purposes of any legal proceedings
related to such Avoided Payment) and (z) a Notice of Avoided Payment in the
form
of Exhibit
B
hereto
appropriately completed and executed by the Beneficiary, the Primary Liquidity
Provider, the Class G Trustee or such Class G Certificateholder. Such payment
shall be disbursed to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or
trustee
in bankruptcy named in the Order and not to the Beneficiary, the Primary
Liquidity Provider, the Class G Trustee or such Class G Certificateholder
directly unless such Beneficiary, the Primary Liquidity Provider, the Class
G
Trustee or such Class G Certificateholder has returned such payment to such
receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy, in
which
case such payment shall be disbursed to the Beneficiary, the Primary Liquidity
Provider, the Class G Trustee or such Class G Certificateholder, as the case
may
be, upon proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to FGIC.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall FGIC be obligated to make any payment in
respect of any Avoided Payment, which payment represents a payment of the
principal amount of the Class G Certificates, prior to the time FGIC would
have
been required to make a payment in respect of such principal pursuant to
sub-paragraphs (ii)-(vi) of the definition of Deficiency Amount in this Policy;
provided,
further,
that no
payment of principal under this Policy (not including any payment of outstanding
drawings under the Primary Liquidity Facility pursuant to sub-paragraph (vii)
of
the definition of Deficiency Amount under this Policy) on any Distribution
Date,
other than with respect to an Avoided Payment, shall exceed the Net Principal
Policy Amount (as defined below) for such Distribution Date; provided,
further,
that no
payment, other than with respect to an Avoided Payment, of a Deficiency Amount
(not including any payment of outstanding drawings under the Primary Liquidity
Facility and accrued interest thereon pursuant to sub-paragraph (vii) of
the
definition of Deficiency Amount under this Policy) shall be in excess of
the
then outstanding principal balance of the Class G Certificates and accrued
and
unpaid interest thereon at the Stated Interest Rate applicable thereto. This
Policy does not cover (i) any premium (including, without limitation, any
Premium), break amount (including, without limitation, any Break Amount),
interest on interest (for the avoidance of doubt, without limiting sub-paragraph
(vii) of the definition of Deficiency Amount under this Policy), default
interest, prepayment penalty or other accelerated payment, which at any time
may
become due on or with respect to any Class G Certificate, (ii) shortfalls,
if
any, attributable to the liability of the Class G Trust, the Class G Trustee
or
the Subordination Agent, for withholding taxes, if any (including interest
and
penalties in respect of any such liability) or (iii) any failure of the
Subordination Agent to make any payment due to the Class G Trustee.

If
any
Notice of Nonpayment or Notice of Avoided Payment received by FGIC or the
Fiscal
Agent, as the case may be, is not in proper form or is otherwise insufficient
for the purpose of making a claim hereunder, it shall be deemed not to have

the
Beneficiary may submit an amended Notice of Nonpayment or Notice of Avoided

Obligations under and in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement are
received by the Subordination Agent (including funds disbursed by FGIC or
the
Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, as provided in this Policy and received
by the
Subordination Agent) whether or not such funds are properly applied by the
Subordination Agent. FGIC’s obligations to make payments in respect of any

The

event
be liable to Certificateholders for any acts of the Fiscal Agent or any failure
of FGIC to deposit or cause to be deposited sufficient funds to make payments
due under this Policy.
Any
notice hereunder delivered to FGIC may be made at the address listed below
for
FGIC or such other address as FGIC shall specify in writing to the Subordination
Agent.
Any

transmission, delivery and communication shall be effective only upon actual
receipt by FGIC.
To
the
extent and in the manner specified in the Intercreditor Agreement, FGIC shall
be
subrogated to the rights of the Class G Trustee, each Class G Certificateholder
and the Primary Liquidity Provider, as the case may be, to receive payments
under the Class G Certificates and, as applicable, pursuant to the Primary
Liquidity Facility to the extent of any payment made by it
hereunder.
This
Policy is neither transferable nor assignable, in whole or in part, except
to a
successor Subordination Agent duly appointed and qualified under the
Intercreditor Agreement. Such transfer and assignment shall be effective
upon
receipt by FGIC of a copy of the instrument effecting such transfer and
assignment signed by the transferor and by the transferee, and a certificate,
properly completed and signed by the transferor and the transferee, in the
form
of Exhibit
C
hereto
(which shall be conclusive evidence of such transfer and assignment), and,
in
such case, the transferee instead of the transferor shall, without the necessity
of further action, be entitled to all the benefits of and rights under this
Policy in the transferor’s place, provided that,
in such
case, the Notice of Nonpayment presented hereunder shall be a certificate
of the
transferee and shall be signed by one who states therein that he is a duly
authorized officer of the transferee.
There
shall be no acceleration payment due under this Policy unless such acceleration
is at the sole option of FGIC, in accordance with the definition of Deficiency
Amount in this Policy.
This
Policy shall expire and terminate and the obligations of FGIC hereunder shall
be
discharged without any action on the part of FGIC or any other Person on
the
later of (x) the day which is one year and one day following the Distribution
Date upon which the Final Distributions on the Class G Certificates are made
or
(y) if applicable, the date on which the amount specified in sub-paragraph
(vii)
of the definition of Deficiency Amount under this Policy is paid in full.
The
foregoing notwithstanding, if an Insolvency Proceeding is existing during
the
one year and one day period set forth above, then this Policy and FGIC’s
obligations hereunder shall terminate on the later of (i) the date of the
conclusion or dismissal of such Insolvency Proceeding without continuing
jurisdiction by the court in such Insolvency Proceeding, and (ii) the date
on
which FGIC has made all payments required to be made under the terms of this
Policy in respect of Avoided Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Policy shall terminate and the obligations of FGIC hereunder shall be discharged
without any further action on the part of FGIC, the Beneficiary or any other
Person if the Policy is returned to the Policy Provider for cancellation
by the
Class G Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Class G Trust
Agreement.
This
Policy is not covered by the property/casualty insurance fund specified in
Article Seventy-Six of the New York State insurance law.
This
Policy sets forth in full the undertaking of FGIC, and, except as expressly
provided in the Insurance Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, shall
not
be modified,
altered
or affected by any other agreement or instrument, including any modification
or
amendment to any other agreement or instrument, or by the merger, consolidation
or dissolution of Continental or any other Person and may not be canceled
or
revoked by FGIC prior to the time it is terminated in accordance with the
express terms hereof. The premium payable to FGIC on this Policy is not
refundable for any reason.
This
Policy shall be returned to FGIC upon termination.
To
the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, FGIC hereby waives, solely for
the
benefit of the Class G Certificateholders and the Primary Liquidity Provider,
all defenses of any kind (including, without limitation, the defense of fraud
in
inducement or fact, any defense based on any duty claimed to arise from the
doctrine of “utmost good faith” or any similar or related doctrine or any other
circumstances that would have the effect of discharging a surety, guarantor
or
any other Person in law or in equity) that FGIC otherwise might have asserted
as
a defense to its obligation to pay in full any amounts that have become due
and
payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Policy. Nothing
in
this paragraph, however, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any rights,
remedies, claims or counterclaims that FGIC may have, arising from or in
connection with any amount that becomes due and payable for the benefit of
the
Class G Certificateholders or the Primary Liquidity Provider as described
in the
preceding sentence, after making payment of such
amount, with respect to Continental, any
Liquidity Provider, the Subordination Agent, Wilmington Trust Company or
any of
their respective affiliates or any other Person, whether acquired by
subrogation, assignment or otherwise, provided, that such
reservation of rights, remedies, claims and counterclaims arising from or
in
connection with any particular payment shall not include any right to assert
any
defense of any kind to payment of any subsequent amount that may become due
and
payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Policy.
THIS
POLICY SHALL BE CONSTRUED, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE
OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES OR THE APPLICATION
OF
THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, FGIC has caused this Policy to be duly executed on the date
first written above.

on
any Special Distribution Date results from the redemption, purchase or
prepayment of any portion of any Equipment Note prior to the occurrence of
a
Payment Default under the Indenture, the amount of accrued and unpaid Liquidity
Expenses and Policy Expenses which are not yet due that are payable pursuant
to
clause “second” of Section 3.2 and any unpaid amounts which are not yet due

SECTION
2.6. Controlling
Party.
(a) The Trustees, the Policy Provider and the Liquidity Providers
hereby agree that, at any given time, the Mortgagee will be directed (i) in
taking, or refraining from taking, any action under the Indenture or with
respect to the Equipment Notes, so long as no Indenture Default has occurred
and
is continuing thereunder, by the holders of at least a majority of the
outstanding principal amount of the Equipment Notes (provided that, for so
long
as the Subordination Agent is the registered holder of the Equipment Notes,
the
Subordination Agent shall act with respect to this clause (i) in accordance
with
the directions of the Trustees (in the case of each such Trustee, with respect
to the Equipment Notes issued under such Indenture and held as Trust Property
of
such Trust) constituting, in the aggregate, directions with respect to at least
a majority of outstanding principal amount of Equipment Notes except as provided
in Section 9.1(b)), and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance
of
an Indenture Default thereunder, in taking, or refraining from taking, any
action under the Indenture or with respect to the Equipment Notes, including
exercising remedies thereunder (including Accelerating the Equipment Notes
issued thereunder or foreclosing the Lien on the Collateral), by the Controlling
Party.
(b) The
Person who shall be the "Controlling Party" with respect to the Indenture upon
the occurrence of an Indenture Default shall be (x) the Policy Provider (or,
(i)
if any Policy Provider Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii)
the
Policy has been surrendered to the Policy Provider for cancellation thereby
releasing the Policy Provider from its obligations under the Policy and all
Policy Provider Amounts (other than any amount referred to in clause (c) of
the
definition of Excess Reimbursement Obligations) have been paid in full as set
forth in clause (d) below, the Class G Trustee); and (y) upon (i) payment of
Final Distributions to the holders of Class G Certificates and (ii) unless
a
Policy Provider Default shall have occurred and be continuing, payment of all
Policy Provider Amounts (other than Excess Reimbursement Obligations) to the
Policy Provider, the Class B Trustee; provided,
that if
the Policy Provider makes a payment in full on a Policy Drawing in respect
of an
Avoided Payment after the payment of the Final Distributions to the Class G
Certificateholders, so long as no Policy Provider Default has occurred and
is
continuing, the Policy Provider will be the Controlling Party until no Policy
Provider Amounts (other than any Excess Reimbursement Obligations) remain
outstanding, and thereafter, the Class B Trustee. For purposes of giving effect
to the provisions of Section 2.6(a) and this Section 2.6(b), the Trustees (other
than the Controlling Party) irrevocably agree (and the Certificateholders (other
than the Certificateholders represented by the Controlling Party) shall be
deemed to agree by virtue of their purchase of Certificates) that the
Subordination Agent, as record holder of the Equipment Notes, and subject always
to the provisions of Article IX hereof, shall exercise its voting rights in
respect of the Equipment Notes as directed by the Controlling Party and any
vote
so exercised shall be binding upon the Trustees and all
Certificateholders.
The
Subordination Agent shall give Written Notice to all of the other parties to
this Agreement promptly upon a change in the identity of the Controlling Party.
Each of the parties hereto agrees that it shall not exercise any of the rights
of the Controlling Party at such time as it is not the Controlling Party
hereunder; provided,
however,
that
nothing herein contained shall prevent or prohibit any Non-Controlling Party
from exercising such rights as shall be specifically granted to such
Non-Controlling Party hereunder and under the other Operative
Agreements.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at any time after the Liquidity Provider Reimbursement Date,
if a
Policy Provider Default attributable to a failure to make a payment referred
to
in Section 3.6(d) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Primary Liquidity
Provider (so long as the Primary Liquidity Provider has not defaulted in its
obligation to make any Drawing under the Primary Liquidity Facility) shall
have
the right to elect, by Written Notice to the Subordination Agent, each of the
Trustees and the Policy Provider, to become the Controlling Party hereunder
at
any time from and including the Liquidity Provider Reimbursement Date;
provided,
however,
that if
the Policy Provider subsequently pays to the Primary Liquidity Provider all
outstanding Drawings, together with accrued interest thereon, under the Primary
Liquidity Facility, then, the Person determined in accordance with Section
2.6(b), rather than the Primary Liquidity Provider, shall be the Controlling
Party.
(d) Subject
to clause (b) above and the rights of the Primary Liquidity Provider under
clause (c) above, following the surrender of the Policy to the Policy Provider
for cancellation and the payment in full of all Policy Provider Amounts (other
than any amount referred to in clause (c) of the definition of Excess
Reimbursement Obligations), all in accordance with Section 5.01 of the Class
G
Trust Supplement and, if applicable, Section 5.01 of the Class B Trust
Supplement, the Class G Trustee shall be the Controlling Party. Upon the
delivery of the Policy to the Policy Provider for cancellation, the Policy
Provider shall be released from its obligations under the Policy.
(e) The
exercise of remedies by the Controlling Party under this Agreement shall be
expressly limited by Section 4.1(a)(ii) hereof.
(f) The
Controlling Party shall not be entitled to require or obligate any
Non-Controlling Party to provide funds necessary to exercise any right or remedy
hereunder.

Policy Provider.
Any
amounts distributed hereunder to the Primary Liquidity Provider or Policy
Provider shall be paid to the Primary Liquidity Provider or Policy Provider
by
wire transfer of funds to the address the Primary Liquidity Provider or Policy
Provider shall provide to the Subordination Agent. The Subordination Agent
shall
provide a Written Notice of any such transfer to the Primary Liquidity Provider
or Policy Provider, as the case may be, at the time of such transfer. Any
amounts distributed hereunder by the Subordination Agent to any Trustee which
shall not be the same institution as the Subordination Agent shall be paid
to
such Trustee by wire transfer funds at the address such Trustee shall provide
to
the Subordination Agent.
SECTION
3.5. Liquidity
Facilities.
(a)
Interest
Drawings and Above-Cap Payments.
If on
any Distribution Date, after giving effect to the subordination provisions
of
this Agreement, the Subordination Agent shall not have sufficient funds for
the
payment of any amounts due and owing in respect of accrued interest on the
Class
G Certificates (at the Stated Interest Rate for the Class G Certificates
calculated assuming that Continental will not cure any Payment Default), then,
prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Distribution Date, (i)
the
Subordination Agent shall request a drawing (each such drawing, an "Interest
Drawing")
under
the Primary Liquidity Facility (and concurrently with the making of such
request, the Subordination Agent will give notice to the Policy Provider of
such
insufficiency of funds) in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) an amount
sufficient to pay the amount of such accrued interest (at the Stated Interest
Rate for the Class G Certificates calculated assuming that Continental will
not
cure any Payment Default) and (y) the Available Amount under the Primary
Liquidity Facility, and shall pay such amount to the Class G Trustee in payment
of such accrued interest; and (ii) if LIBOR for the Interest Period ending
on
such Distribution Date (or, if such Distribution Date is not the last day of
an
Interest Period, LIBOR for the Interest Period including such Distribution
Date)
exceeds Capped LIBOR and if the Stated Interest Rate for the Class G
Certificates for the Interest Period ending on such Distribution Date (or,
if
such Distribution Date is not the last day of an Interest Period, the Stated
Interest Rate for the Interest Period including such Distribution Date) exceeds
the Capped Interest Rate, the Subordination Agent shall (if it can make the
certification described in the last sentence of this Section 3.5(a) and the
Above-Cap Liquidity Facility has not been terminated or expired in accordance
with its terms) request an interest rate cap payment (each such payment, an
"Above-Cap
Payment")
under
the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility for credit to the Above-Cap Account in an
amount equal to the excess of (1) the product of (x) the difference between
LIBOR for the Interest Period ending on such Distribution Date (or, if such
Distribution Date is not the last day of an Interest Period, LIBOR for the
Interest Period including such Distribution Date) and Capped LIBOR, multiplied
by (y) the Pool Balance with respect to the Class G Certificates as of such
Distribution Date (and before giving effect to any distribution on such date),
multiplied by (z) the actual number of days elapsed in such Interest Period
to such Distribution Date divided by 360 over (2) the amount, if any, on deposit
in the Above-Cap Account, and upon the receipt thereof the Subordination Agent
shall immediately deposit such Above-Cap Payment into the Above-Cap Account.
If
the Interest Drawing on such Distribution Date pursuant to clause (i) above
with
respect to the Class G Certificates, together with all other amounts available
to the Subordination Agent on such Distribution Date (after giving effect to
the
subordination provisions of this Agreement and any withdrawals from the Primary
Cash Collateral Account), is insufficient to pay accrued interest (at the
applicable Stated Interest Rate with respect to the Class G Certificates)
payable with respect to the Class G Certificates on such Distribution Date
(such
deficiency, the "Deficiency
Amount"),
the
Subordination Agent shall, prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such
Distribution Date, withdraw (each, an "Above-Cap
Withdrawal")
from
the Above-Cap Account an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such Deficiency
Amount and (y) the amount on deposit in the Above-Cap Account (including any
amounts deposited, or to be deposited, on such Distribution Date pursuant to
clause (ii) above), and shall pay such amount to the Class G Trustee in payment
of such accrued interest with respect to the Class G Certificates. In
connection with a request for an Above-Cap Payment under the Above-Cap Liquidity
Facility pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Subordination Agent shall certify
to
the Above-Cap Liquidity Provider that at least one of the following statements
is true as of such Distribution Date: (i) the Available Amount under the Primary
Liquidity Facility (prior to giving effect to any Interest Advances to be made
on such Distribution Date) is greater than zero; or (ii) the amount on deposit
in the Primary Cash Collateral Account (prior to giving effect to any withdrawal
to be made from such account on such Distribution Date) is greater than
zero.
(b) Application
of Interest Drawings and Above-Cap Withdrawals.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) all
payments received
by
the
Subordination Agent in respect of an Interest Drawing under the Primary
Liquidity Facility and all amounts withdrawn by the Subordination Agent from
the
Primary Cash Collateral Account, and payable in each case to the Class G
Certificateholders or the Class G Trustee, shall be promptly distributed to
the
Class G Trustee, provided
that if
(x) the Subordination Agent shall receive any amount in respect of an Interest
Drawing under the Primary Liquidity Facility or a withdrawal from the Primary
Cash Collateral Account to pay Accrued Class G Interest after such Accrued
Class
G Interest has been fully paid to the Class G Trustee by a Policy Drawing under
the Policy pursuant to Section 3.6(a) hereof or (y) the Subordination Agent
shall receive any amount in respect of a Policy Drawing under the Policy
pursuant to Section 3.6(a) hereof to fully pay Accrued Class G Interest after
such Accrued Class G Interest has been paid (in full or in part) to the Class
G
Trustee by an Interest Drawing under the Primary Liquidity Facility or a
withdrawal from the Primary Cash Collateral Account, the Subordination Agent,
in
the case of either clause (x) or (y), shall pay an amount equal to the amount
of
such Interest Drawing or withdrawal directly to the Policy Provider as
reimbursement of such Policy Drawing rather than to the Class G
Certificateholders or the Class G Trustee (except for any such amount
constituting an Election Interest Payment with respect to the Series G Equipment
Note, which shall be paid directly to the Primary Liquidity Provider as
reimbursement for such Interest Drawing or to the Primary Cash Collateral
Account as replenishment for such withdrawal, as applicable), and (ii)
all
payments received by the Subordination Agent in respect of an Above-Cap
Withdrawal from the Above-Cap Account, and payable to the Class G
Certificateholders or the Class G Trustee, shall be promptly distributed to
the
Class G Trustee,
provided
that if
(x) the Subordination Agent shall receive any amount in respect of such
Above-Cap Withdrawal to pay Accrued Class G Interest after such Accrued Class
G
Interest has been fully paid to the Class G Trustee by a Policy Drawing under
the Policy pursuant to Section 3.6(a) hereof or (y) the Subordination Agent
shall receive any amount in respect of a Policy Drawing under the Policy
pursuant to Section 3.6(a) hereof to fully pay Accrued Class G Interest after
such Accrued Class G Interest has been paid (in full or in part) to the Class
G
Trustee by an Above-Cap Withdrawal, the Subordination Agent, in the case of
either clause (x) or (y), shall pay an amount equal to the amount of such
Above-Cap Withdrawal directly to the Policy Provider as reimbursement of such
Policy Drawing rather than to the Class G Certificateholders or the Class G
Trustee.
(c) Downgrade
Drawings.
(i) The
Subordination Agent shall request a Downgrade Drawing under the Primary
Liquidity Facility as provided in Section 3.5(c)(iii), if at any time a
Downgrade Event shall have occurred with respect to the Primary Liquidity
Facility (a "Downgraded
Facility"),
unless an event described in Section 3.5(c)(ii) occurs with respect to the
Primary Liquidity Facility.
(ii)
If
at any time the Primary Liquidity Facility becomes a Downgraded Facility, the
Subordination Agent shall request a Downgrade Drawing thereunder in accordance
with Section 3.5(c)(iii), unless the Primary Liquidity Provider or Continental
arranges for a Replacement Primary Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver
a
Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility to the Subordination Agent within 10
days
of a Downgrade Event (but not later than the expiration date of such Downgraded
Facility).
(iii)
Upon the occurrence of any Downgrade Event with respect to the Primary Liquidity
Facility, unless any event described in Section 3.5(c)(ii) occurs with respect
thereto,
the Subordination Agent shall, on the 10th day referred to in Section 3.5(c)(ii)
(or if such 10th day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business
Day)
(or, if earlier, the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility), request
a
drawing in accordance with and to the extent permitted by such Downgraded
Facility (such drawing, a "Downgrade
Drawing")
of the
Available Amount thereunder. Amounts drawn pursuant to a Downgrade Drawing
shall
be maintained and invested as provided in Section 3.5(f) hereof. The Primary
Liquidity Provider may also arrange for a Replacement Primary Liquidity Provider
to issue and deliver a Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility at any time after
such Downgrade Drawing so long as such Downgrade Drawing has not been reimbursed
in full to the Primary Liquidity Provider.
(iv)
If a
Termination Event, a Credit Downgrade or a Credit Support Event (each such
event, a "Mandatory
Termination Event")
shall
occur under the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility, the Above-Cap Liquidity Provider
shall provide prompt notice of such Mandatory Termination Event in writing
to
Continental, the Subordination Agent, the Policy Provider, the Class G
Trustee and the Class B Trustee, and within the time period specified in
the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility (but in no event later than the expiration
date
of the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility) Continental or the Above-Cap Liquidity
Provider may, in each case at its own expense, arrange for one or more
Replacement Above-Cap Liquidity Providers to issue and deliver a Replacement
Above-Cap Liquidity Facility to the Subordination Agent. In the event that
the Above-Cap Liquidity Provider or Continental makes arrangements for a
Replacement Above-Cap Liquidity Facility in accordance with the terms of the
Above-Cap Liquidity Facility, (y) the Subordination Agent shall, if and to
the extent so requested by the Above-Cap Liquidity Provider or Continental,
execute and deliver any certificate or other instrument required to give effect
to such replacement and (z) each of the parties hereto shall enter into any
amendments to this Agreement necessary to give effect to such replacement.
If the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility is subject to a Mandatory Termination Event
and has not been replaced in accordance with its terms and the terms of this
paragraph or if an Early Termination Date has been designated under the
Above-Cap Liquidity Facility after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as
defined in the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility) which is not otherwise a Mandatory
Termination Event, the Above-Cap Liquidity Provider shall, on the applicable
Early Termination Date, pay to the Subordination Agent, for the benefit of
the
Class G Trustee on behalf of the Class G Certificateholders, the applicable
Termination Amount for credit to the Above-Cap Collateral Account, to be applied
as provided in Section 3.5(f) hereof plus the amount of all other unpaid
sums due and payable by the Above-Cap Liquidity Provider thereunder on or prior
to such date, and upon such payment, the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility shall
be
terminated. Nothing contained herein shall limit the rights of the
Above-Cap Liquidity Provider to transfer its rights and obligations under the
Above-Cap Liquidity Facility or otherwise arrange for a Replacement Above-Cap
Liquidity Facility, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the
Above-Cap Liquidity Facility.
(d) Non-Extension
Drawings.
If the
Primary Liquidity Facility is scheduled to expire on a date (the "Stated
Expiration Date")
prior
to the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the
Class G Certificates, then, no earlier than the 60th day and no later than
the
40th day prior to the then Stated Expiration Date, the Subordination Agent
shall
request that the Primary Liquidity Provider extend the Stated Expiration Date
until the earlier of (i) the date which is 15 days after such Final Legal
Distribution Date and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the
364th
day
occurring after the last day of the applicable Consent
Period
(as hereinafter defined) (unless the obligations of the Primary Liquidity
Provider under the Primary Liquidity Facility are earlier terminated in
accordance with the Primary Liquidity Facility). Whether or not the Primary
Liquidity Provider has received a request from the Subordination Agent, the
Primary Liquidity Provider shall advise the Subordination Agent, 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 Subordination Agent) and no later than the
25th
day
prior to the Stated Expiration Date then in effect for the Primary Liquidity
Facility (such period, with respect to the Primary Liquidity Facility, the
"Consent
Period"),
whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to extend such Stated Expiration
Date.
If
(A) on
or before the date on which such Consent Period ends, the Primary Liquidity
Facility shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.5(e) and
(B)
the Primary Liquidity Provider fails irrevocably and unconditionally to advise
the Subordination Agent on or before the date on which such Consent Period
ends
that such Stated Expiration Date then in effect shall be so extended for the
Primary Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent shall, on the date on which
such Consent Period ends (or as soon as possible thereafter), in accordance
with
the terms of the expiring Primary Liquidity Facility (a "Non-Extended
Facility"),
request a drawing under the expiring Primary Liquidity Facility (such drawing,
a
"Non-Extension
Drawing")
of all
available and undrawn amounts thereunder. Amounts drawn pursuant to a
Non-Extension Drawing shall be maintained and invested in accordance with
Section 3.5(f) hereof.
(e) Issuance
of Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility.
(i) At any time, Continental may, at its option, with cause or
without cause, arrange for a Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility to replace
the Primary Liquidity Facility (including any Replacement Primary Liquidity
Facility provided pursuant to Section 3.5(e)(ii) hereof); provided,
however,
that
the initial Primary Liquidity Provider for the Primary Liquidity Facility shall
not be replaced by Continental as the Primary Liquidity Provider without the
consent of such initial Primary Liquidity Provider unless (A) there shall have
become due to the initial Primary Liquidity Provider, or the initial Primary
Liquidity Provider shall have demanded, amounts pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02
or 3.03 of the Primary Liquidity Facility and the replacement of such initial
Primary Liquidity Provider would reduce or eliminate the obligation to pay
such
amounts or Continental determines in good faith that there is a substantial
likelihood that the initial Primary Liquidity Provider will have the right
to
claim any such amounts (unless such initial Primary Liquidity Provider waives,
in writing, any right it may have to claim such amounts), which determination
shall be set forth in a certificate delivered by Continental to such initial
Primary Liquidity Provider setting forth the basis for such determination and
accompanied by an opinion of outside counsel selected by Continental and
reasonably acceptable to such initial Primary Liquidity Provider verifying
the
legal conclusions, if any, of such certificate relating to such basis,
provided
that, in
the case of any likely claim for such amounts based upon any proposed, or
proposed change in, law, rule, regulation, interpretation, directive,
requirement, request or administrative practice, such opinion may assume the
adoption or promulgation of such proposed matter, (B) it shall become unlawful
or impossible for the initial Primary Liquidity Provider (or its Lending Office)
to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances as described in Section 3.10 of the
Primary Liquidity Facility, (C) the Primary Liquidity Facility of such initial
Primary Liquidity Provider shall become a Downgraded Facility or a Non-Extended
Facility or a Downgrade Drawing or a Non-Extension Drawing shall have occurred
under the Primary Liquidity Facility
of
such
initial Primary Liquidity Provider or (D) the initial Primary Liquidity Provider
shall have breached any of its payment (including, without limitation, funding)
obligations under the Primary Liquidity Facility in respect of which it is
the
Primary Liquidity Provider. If such Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility
is
provided at any time after a Downgrade Drawing or Non-Extension Drawing has
been
made, all funds on deposit in the Primary Cash Collateral Account will be
returned to the Primary Liquidity Provider being replaced.
(ii) If
the
Primary Liquidity Provider shall determine not to extend its Primary Liquidity
Facility in accordance with Section 3.5(d), then the Primary Liquidity Provider
may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility to
replace the Primary Liquidity Facility during the period no earlier than 40
days
and no later than 25 days prior to the then effective Stated Expiration Date
of
the Primary Liquidity Facility. In addition, so long as the initial Primary
Liquidity Provider for the Primary Liquidity Facility is the Primary Liquidity
Provider for the Primary Liquidity Facility, at any time after a Non-Extension
Drawing has been made under the Primary Liquidity Facility, the Primary
Liquidity Provider may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Primary
Liquidity Facility to replace the Primary Liquidity Facility.
(iii) No
Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility arranged by Continental or the Primary
Liquidity Provider in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above or pursuant
to
Section 3.5(c), respectively, shall become effective and no such Replacement
Primary Liquidity Facility shall be deemed a "Primary Liquidity Facility" under
the Operative Agreements, unless and until (A) each of the conditions referred
to in sub-clauses (iv)(x) and (z) below shall have been satisfied, (B) if such
Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility shall materially adversely affect the
rights, remedies, interests or obligations of the Class G Certificateholders
or
the Class B Certificateholders under any of the Operative Agreements, the
applicable Trustee shall have consented, in writing, to the execution and
issuance of such Primary Replacement Liquidity Facility and (C) in the case
of a
Primary Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by the Primary Liquidity
Provider under Section 3.5(e)(ii) or pursuant to Section 3.5(c), such
Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility is acceptable to
Continental.
(iv) In
connection with the issuance of each Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility,
the
Subordination Agent shall (x) prior to the issuance of such Replacement Primary
Liquidity Facility, obtain written confirmation from each Rating Agency that
such Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility will not cause a reduction,
withdrawal or suspension of any rating then in effect for any Class of
Certificates by such Rating Agency (without regard to any downgrading of any
rating of any Primary Liquidity Provider being replaced pursuant to Section
3.5(c) hereof and, without regard to the Policy) and the written consent of
the
Policy Provider (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
(y) pay all Liquidity Obligations then owing to the replaced Primary
Liquidity Provider (which payment shall be made first from available funds
in
the Primary Cash Collateral Account as described in clause (v) of Section 3.5(f)
hereof, and thereafter from any other available source, including, without
limitation, a drawing under the Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility) and
(z)
cause the issuer of the Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility to deliver the
Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility to the Subordination Agent, together
with
a legal opinion opining that such Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility is
an
enforceable obligation of such Replacement Primary Liquidity Provider. In
connection with the issuance of each Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility,
the
Primary
Liquidity Provider being replaced agrees to return its certified copy of the
Policy to the Policy Provider prior to the issuance of such Replacement Primary
Liquidity Facility.
(v) Upon
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (iii) and (iv) of this
Section 3.5(e) with respect to a Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility, (w)
the
replaced Primary Liquidity Facility shall terminate, (x) the Subordination
Agent
shall, if and to the extent so requested by Continental or the Primary Liquidity
Provider being replaced, execute and deliver any certificate or other instrument
required in order to terminate the replaced Primary Liquidity Facility, shall
surrender the replaced Primary Liquidity Facility to the Primary Liquidity
Provider being replaced and shall execute and deliver the Replacement Primary
Liquidity Facility and any associated Fee Letter, (y) each of the parties hereto
shall enter into any amendments to this Agreement necessary to give effect
to
(1) the replacement of the Primary Liquidity Provider with the Replacement
Primary Liquidity Provider and (2) the replacement of the Primary Liquidity
Facility with the Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility and (z) the Replacement
Primary Liquidity Provider shall be deemed to be a Primary Liquidity Provider
with the rights and obligations of the Primary Liquidity Provider hereunder
and
under the other Operative Agreements and such Replacement Primary Liquidity
Facility shall be deemed to be the Primary Liquidity Facility hereunder and
under the other Operative Agreements.
(f) Cash
Collateral Accounts; Above-Cap Accounts; Withdrawals;
Investments.
In the
event the Subordination Agent shall draw all available amounts under the Primary
Liquidity Facility pursuant to Section 3.5(c), 3.5(d) or 3.5(i) hereof, or
in
the event amounts are to be deposited in the Primary Cash Collateral Account
pursuant to subclause (i)(A) or (i)(B) of clause "fourth" of Section 3.2,
amounts so drawn or to be deposited, as the case may be, shall be deposited
by
the Subordination Agent in the Primary Cash Collateral Account. If the Above-Cap
Liquidity Provider shall at any time make a Termination Amount payment under
the
Above-Cap Liquidity Facility, such Termination Amount payment shall be deposited
by the Subordination Agent in the Above-Cap Collateral Account, to be applied
as
specified below in this Section 3.5(f). All amounts on deposit in each Cash
Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested in Eligible Investments
in
accordance with Section 2.2(b) hereof.
On
each
Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of any Special Distribution Date
occurring in connection with the redemption, purchase or prepayment of any
Equipment Note as contemplated in Section 2.4(a) hereof occurring (a
“Special
Distribution Withdrawal”),
on
such Special Distribution Date), Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit
in
the Primary Cash Collateral Account (or, in the case of any Special Distribution
Withdrawal, a fraction of such Investment Earnings equal to the Applicable
Fraction) shall be deposited in the Collection Account (or, in the case of
a
Special Distribution Withdrawal, the Special Payments Account) and applied
on
such Interest Payment Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be)
in
accordance with Section 3.2 or 3.3 (as applicable). Investment Earnings on
amounts on deposit in the Above-Cap Collateral Account shall be credited to
such
account and applied in the same manner as the applicable Termination Amount
payment credited thereto. Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the
Above-Cap Account shall be credited to such account and applied in the same
manner as Above-Cap Payments credited thereto. The Subordination Agent shall
deliver a written statement to Continental, each Liquidity Provider and the
Policy Provider one day prior to each Interest Payment Date and Special
Distribution Date setting forth the aggregate amount of Investment Earnings
held
in the Cash Collateral Accounts as of such date. The
Subordination
Agent shall also deliver a written statement to Continental, each Liquidity
Provider and the Policy Provider one day after each Distribution Date on which
amounts have been deposited in the Above-Cap Account and/or withdrawn from
the
Above-Cap Collateral Account setting forth the amount of such deposit and/or
withdrawal. In addition, from and after the date funds are so deposited, the
Subordination Agent shall make withdrawals from such accounts as
follows:
(i) on
each
Distribution Date, the Subordination Agent shall, to the extent it shall not
have received funds to pay accrued and unpaid interest due and owing on the
Class G Certificates (at the applicable Stated Interest Rate for the Class
G
Certificates) after giving effect to the subordination provisions of this
Agreement, (A) withdraw from the Primary Cash Collateral Account, and pay to
the
Class G Trustee, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) an amount necessary
to pay accrued and unpaid interest (at the applicable Stated Interest Rate
for
the Class G Certificates) on such Class G Certificates and (y) the amount on
deposit in the Primary Cash Collateral Account and (B) if an “Above-Cap Payment”
would have been required to be made on such Distribution Date pursuant to the
terms of the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility were such Liquidity Facility still
in
effect, withdraw from the Above-Cap Collateral Account and deposit in the
Above-Cap Account, an amount (if any) equal to the lesser of (x) an amount
equal
to such Above-Cap Payment and (y) the amount on deposit in the Above-Cap
Collateral Account;
(ii) on
each
date on which the Pool Balance of the Class G Trust shall have been reduced
by
payments made to the Class G Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof
or otherwise, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw from the Primary Cash
Collateral Account such amount as is necessary so that, after giving effect
to
the reduction of the Pool Balance on such date (and any reduction in the amounts
on deposit in the Primary Cash Collateral Account resulting from a prior
withdrawal of amounts on deposit in the Primary Cash Collateral Account on
such
date) and any transfer of Investment Earnings from such Cash Collateral Account
to the Collection Account or the Special Payments Account on such date, an
amount equal to the sum of the Required Amount plus (if on a Distribution Date
not coinciding with an Interest Payment Date) Investment Earnings on deposit
in
the Primary Cash Collateral Account (after giving effect to any such transfer
of
Investment Earnings) will be on deposit in the Primary Cash Collateral Account
and shall first, pay such withdrawn amount to the Primary Liquidity Provider
until the Liquidity Obligations owing to the Primary Liquidity Provider shall
have been paid in full, and second, deposit any remaining withdrawn amount
in
the Collection Account;
(iii) if
a
Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility shall be delivered to the Subordination
Agent following the date on which funds have been deposited into the Primary
Cash Collateral Account, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw all amounts
on
deposit in the Primary Cash Collateral Account and shall pay such amounts to
the
replaced Primary Liquidity Provider until all Liquidity Obligations owed to
such
Person shall have been paid in full, and shall deposit any remaining amount
in
the Collection Account; and
(iv) (x)
following the payment of Final Distributions with respect to the Class G
Certificates, on the date on which the Subordination Agent shall have been
notified by the Primary Liquidity Provider that the Primary Liquidity
Obligations owed to the Primary Liquidity Provider have been paid in full,
the
Subordination Agent shall withdraw all amounts on deposit in the Primary Cash
Collateral Account and shall deposit such amount in the Collection Account
and
(y) on the first Business Day occurring immediately after the earlier of (1)
the
date of the payment of Final Distributions with respect to the Class G
Certificates and (2) the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class G
Certificates (after giving effect to all distributions to be made on such date),
the Subordination Agent shall pay to the Above-Cap Liquidity Provider an amount
equal to the sum of the amounts (if any) on deposit in (A) the Above-Cap Account
and (B) the Above-Cap Collateral Account by wire transfer of funds to the
account identified by the Above-Cap Liquidity Provider in writing to the
Subordination Agent.
(g) Reinstatement.
With
respect to any Interest Drawing under the Primary Liquidity Facility, upon
the
reimbursement of the Primary Liquidity Provider for all or any part of the
amount of such Interest Drawing, together with any accrued interest thereon,
the
Available Amount of the Primary Liquidity Facility shall be reinstated by an
amount equal to the amount of such Interest Drawing so reimbursed to the Primary
Liquidity Provider but not to exceed the Stated Amount for the Primary Liquidity
Facility; provided,
however,
that
the Primary Liquidity Facility shall not be so reinstated in part or in full
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
Drawing shall have occurred; provided
further,
that
any payment by the Policy Provider to the Primary Liquidity Provider of any
amounts pursuant to Section 3.6(d) or the proviso to Section 2.6(c) shall not
reinstate the Primary Liquidity Facility, but the Primary Liquidity Facility
(so
long as the Primary Liquidity Facility is in effect) shall be reinstated, pro
tanto, to the extent the Policy Provider receives any reimbursement in respect
of such payment under clause “fourth” of Section 3.2, unless (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 Drawing shall have occurred.
In
the event that, with respect to the Primary Liquidity Facility, (i) funds
are withdrawn from the Primary Cash Collateral Account pursuant to clause (i)
of
Section 3.5(f) hereof or (ii) the Primary Liquidity Facility shall become a
Downgraded Facility or a Non-Extended Facility at a time when unreimbursed
Interest Drawings under the Primary Liquidity Facility have reduced the
Available Amount thereunder to zero, then funds received by the Subordination
Agent at any time other than (x) any time when a Liquidity Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and any Equipment Note is a Non-Performing
Equipment Note or (y) any time after a Final Drawing shall have occurred, shall
be deposited in such Cash Collateral Account as and to the extent provided
in
clause "fourth"
of
Section 3.2 and applied in accordance with Section 3.5(f) hereof.
(h) Reimbursement.
The
amount of each drawing under the Primary Liquidity Facility shall be due and
payable, together with interest thereon, on the dates and at the rates,
respectively, provided in the Primary Liquidity Facility. The Subordination
Agent shall have no obligation to reimburse the Above-Cap Liquidity Provider
for
any Above-Cap Payments and the Above-Cap Liquidity Provider shall have no
interest in any monies credited to any Trust Account.
(i) Final
Drawing.
Upon
receipt from the Primary Liquidity Provider of a Termination Notice with respect
to the Primary Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent shall, not later
than
the date specified in such Termination Notice, in accordance with the terms
of
the Primary Liquidity Facility, request a drawing under the Primary Liquidity
Facility of all available and undrawn amounts thereunder (a "Final
Drawing").
Amounts drawn pursuant to a Final Drawing shall be maintained and invested
in
accordance with Section 3.5(f) hereof.
(j) Reduction
of Stated Amount.
Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount of the Primary
Liquidity Facility is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance
with respect to the Class G Certificates (including by reason of a Policy
Provider Election) or otherwise, the Stated Amount of the Primary Liquidity
Facility shall automatically be reduced to an amount equal to the Required
Amount with respect to the Primary Liquidity Facility (as calculated by the
Subordination Agent after giving effect to such payment).
(k) Relation
to Subordination Provisions.
Subject
in the case of the Primary Liquidity Facility to the proviso contained in clause
(i) of Section 3.5(b), Interest Drawings under the Primary Liquidity Facility
and withdrawals from the Primary Cash Collateral Account and the Above-Cap
Account, in each case, in respect of interest on the Class G Certificates,
will
be distributed to the Class G Trustee, notwithstanding Sections 2.1(b) and
3.2.
(l) Assignment
of Liquidity Facility.
The
Subordination Agent agrees not to consent to the assignment by any Liquidity
Provider of any of its rights or obligations under any Liquidity Facility or
any
interest therein, unless (i) Continental shall have consented to such
assignment and (ii) each Rating Agency shall have provided a Ratings
Confirmation in respect of such assignment and (iii) in the case of the Primary
Liquidity Facility only, the Policy Provider shall have consented to such
assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
provided,
that
the Subordination Agent shall consent to such assignment if the conditions
in
the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are satisfied, and the foregoing
is
not intended to and shall not be construed to limit the rights of the Primary
Liquidity Provider under Section 3.5(e)(ii).
(m) Interest
Coverage.
The
interest payable by the Liquidity Provider under any Liquidity Facility shall
include interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or
allowable in such proceeding.
(n) Termination
upon Release of Policy.
In the
event that (x) one or more Class B Certificateholders elect to purchase all
of
the Class G Certificates pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Trust Supplements
and,
in connection therewith, elect to surrender the Policy to the Policy Provider
for cancellation (thereby releasing the Policy Provider from its obligations
under the Policy) or (y) the Class G Certificateholders shall have otherwise
elected to so surrender the Policy pursuant to Section 5.01(b) of the Class
G
Trust Supplement, the Primary Liquidity Facility shall be terminated (such
termination, the "Special
Termination")
upon
(i) the payment of all Policy Provider Amounts (other than amounts referred
to
in clause (c) of the definition of Excess Reimbursement Obligations) to the
Policy Provider and (ii) the payment of all outstanding Liquidity Obligations
to
the Primary Liquidity Provider, in each case, as required by Section 5.01 of
the
Trust Supplements.
SECTION
3.6. The
Policy.
(a) Interest
Drawings.
If on
any Regular Distribution Date (other than the Final Legal Distribution Date)
after
giving effect to the application of available funds in accordance with the
subordination provisions of this Agreement and to the application of Prior
Funds,
the
Subordination Agent does not then have sufficient funds available for the
payment of all amounts due and owing in respect of accrued and unpaid interest
on the Class G Certificates at the applicable Stated Interest Rate (calculated
assuming that Continental will not cure any Payment Default) ("Accrued
Class G Interest"),
then
the Subordination Agent (A) prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such
Distribution Date shall deliver a Notice for Payment, as provided in the Policy,
to the Policy Provider and its Fiscal Agent, requesting a Policy Drawing under
the Policy (for payment into the Policy Account) in an amount sufficient to
enable the Subordination Agent to pay such Accrued Class G Interest and
(B) upon receipt shall pay such amount from the Policy Account to the Class
G Trustee in payment of such Accrued Class G Interest.
(b) Proceeds
Deficiency Drawing.
If on
any Special Distribution Date (which is not also an Election Distribution Date
or a Special Distribution Date established pursuant to the second paragraph
of
Section 3.6(c)) established by the Subordination Agent by reason of its receipt
of a Special Payment constituting the proceeds from the sale of the Series
G
Equipment Note (as to which there has been a payment default or which has been
accelerated) or of the Pledged Spare Parts comprising all of the Pledged Spare
Parts subject to the Lien of the Indenture at the time of such sale, as the
case
may be (each, a “Disposition”),
after
giving effect to the application of such proceeds in accordance with the
subordination provisions of this Agreement and to the application of Prior
Funds, the Subordination Agent does not then have sufficient funds available
for
(A) the payment in full of the then outstanding Pool Balance of the Class G
Certificates and (B) the payment of accrued and unpaid interest thereon at
the
Stated Interest Rate for the Class G Certificates for the period from the
immediately preceding Regular Distribution Date to such Special Distribution
Date (calculated assuming that Continental will not cure any Payment Default),
then the Subordination Agent (i) prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on such Special Distribution Date shall deliver a Notice for Payment, as
provided in the Policy, to the Policy Provider and its Fiscal Agent, requesting
a Policy Drawing under the Policy (for payment into the Policy Account) in
an
amount sufficient to enable the Subordination Agent to pay the outstanding
Pool
Balance of the Class G Certificates and the amount of such accrued and unpaid
interest and (ii) upon receipt shall pay such amount from such Policy Account
to
the Class G Trustee in payment of such reduction in the outstanding Pool Balance
of the Class G Certificates plus such accrued and unpaid interest.
(c) No
Proceeds Drawing.
If a
Payment Default exists with respect to the Series G Equipment Note (without
giving effect to any Acceleration or any payments by any Liquidity Provider
or
the Policy Provider) for a period of eight consecutive Interests Periods (such
period, the “Default
Period”)
(regardless of whether the Subordination Agent has received a Special Payment
constituting proceeds from any Disposition during such Default Period) and
continues to exist on the Regular Distribution Date on which such eighth
Interest Period ends, on the 25th
day
following such Regular Distribution Date (or if such 25th
day is
not a Business Day, the next Business Day), unless a Policy Provider Election
has been made, the Subordination Agent shall deliver a Notice for Payment,
as
provided in the Policy, to the Policy Provider and its Fiscal Agent, requesting
a Policy Drawing under such Policy (for payment into the Policy Account) in
an
amount equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Series G Equipment
Note
(less the amount of any Policy Drawings previously paid by the Policy Provider
in respect of principal) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Stated
Interest Rate for the Class G Certificates (calculated assuming that Continental
will not cure any Payment Default) from the immediately preceding Regular
Distribution Date to such Special Distribution Date. Unless a Policy Provider
Election has been made or deemed to have been made, the Subordination Agent
shall promptly, but not less than 25 days prior to such Special Distribution
Date, send to the Class G Trustee and the Policy Provider a Written Notice
setting forth the non-receipt of any such Special Payment and establishing
such
Special Distribution Date as the date for the distribution of the proceeds
of
such Policy Drawing. No later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
specified Special Distribution Date, the Subordination Agent shall make the
specified Policy Drawing and upon its receipt of the proceeds thereof pay the
amount thereof from the Policy Account to the Class G Trustee in reduction
of
the outstanding Pool Balance of the Class G Certificates together with such
accrued and unpaid interest thereon. For the avoidance of doubt, after the
payment in full of such amount under this Section 3.6(c), the Subordination
Agent shall have no right to make any further Policy Drawings under this Section
3.6(c) except for Avoided Payments as provided in Section 3.6(f).
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Policy Provider has the right, by Written Notice to the
Subordination Agent given at least 10 days prior to the end of any such 24-month
period, so long as no Policy Provider Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, to make an election (the "Policy
Provider Election")
(which
Policy Provider Election shall be deemed to have been given on the day that
is
ten days prior to end of such 24-month period, unless (x) the Policy Provider
shall have affirmatively elected by notice to the Subordination Agent to not
make such Policy Provider Election on or prior to such day or (y) a Policy
Provider Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of such day) instead
(a) to pay on such Special Distribution Date an amount equal to any shortfall
in
the scheduled interest payable but not paid (whether by Continental or by the
application of proceeds from the sale of any Collateral in connection with
the
exercise of remedies under the Indenture) on the Series G Equipment Note
(calculated assuming that Continental will not cure any Payment Default), during
such 24-month period (reduced by the amount of funds received from the Policy
Provider in connection with any prior Policy Drawing made under Section 3.6(b)
hereof and from the Primary Liquidity Facility, the Primary Cash Collateral
Account, the Above-Cap Account or the Policy Provider to the extent of any
Policy Drawings pursuant to Section 3.6(a) made as a result of a failure of
the
Primary Liquidity Provider to honor Interest Drawings under Section 2.02(a)
of
the Primary Liquidity Facility or a failure of the Above-Cap Liquidity Provider
and the Liquidity Guarantor to make an Above-Cap Payment under the Above-Cap
Liquidity Facility), (b) thereafter, on each Regular Distribution Date until
the
establishment of an Election Distribution Date or a Special Distribution Date
referred to in clause (c)(i) below, to permit drawings under the Policy for
an
amount equal to the scheduled principal (without regard to any Acceleration
thereof or any Redemption Notice that Continental has failed to honor but taking
into account any adjustments previously made for redemptions) and interest
payments (without regard to any funds available under the Primary Liquidity
Facility, the Primary Cash Collateral Account or the Above-Cap Account and
calculated assuming Continental will not cure any Payment Default) at the Stated
Interest Rate for the Class G Certificates scheduled to be paid on the Series
G
Equipment Note on the related payment date (each such interest payment on the
Series G Equipment Note, an “Election
Interest Payment”),
except that the Policy Provider shall not be required to pay (x) any amount
in
respect of principal under this clause (b) on any Regular Distribution Date
(1) if it has
theretofore
honored Policy Drawings under Section 3.6(b) or (c) hereof in respect of
principal of the Series G Equipment Note or (2) if in connection with
exercise of remedies under the Indenture there has previously been a reduction
in the outstanding principal balance of the Series G Equipment Note as a result
of the application of proceeds from the sale of Collateral, to the extent that
after giving effect to the distribution of any such amount or proceeds or both
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement the Pool Balance of the
Class G Certificates as of such Regular Distribution Date would be less than
the
Pool Balance of the Class G Certificates as of such Regular Distribution Date
were all payments on the Series G Equipment Note to have been made by
Continental when due (without regard to Acceleration or any Redemption Notice
that Continental has failed to honor but taking into account any adjustments
previously made for redemptions) in accordance with Schedule 1 to such Series
G
Equipment Note nor (y) for the avoidance of doubt, any amount in respect of
interest under this clause (b) on such Regular Distribution Date other than
accrued and unpaid interest (at the applicable Stated Interest Rate calculated
assuming that Continental will not cure any Payment Default) on the Pool Balance
of the Class G Certificates as of such Regular Distribution Date (calculated
without giving effect to any Policy Drawing in respect of principal under this
clause (b) on such Regular Distribution Date) and (c) (i) on any Business Day
(other than a Regular Distribution Date) elected by the Policy Provider upon
20
days' Written Notice to the Subordination Agent and the Class G Trustee (which
shall be a Special Distribution Date), have the right to direct the
Subordination Agent, or (ii) following the occurrence of a Policy Provider
Default, on any Business Day (which shall be a Special Distribution Date)
specified by the Subordination Agent upon 20 days' Written Notice to the Class
G
Trustee (each such Business Day in the case of clause (ii) an "Election
Distribution Date"),
permit the Subordination Agent, in each case, to make a Policy Drawing under
the
Policy for an amount (as determined after giving effect to the application
of
available funds in accordance with the subordination provisions of this
Agreement on such Special Distribution Date) equal to the then outstanding
Pool
Balance of the Class G Certificates and accrued and unpaid interest on such
amount at the Stated Interest Rate for the Class G Certificates (calculated
assuming that Continental will not cure any Payment Default) from the
immediately preceding Regular Distribution Date to such Election Distribution
Date or such Special Distribution Date, as the case may be, without derogation
of the Policy Provider's continuing obligations for all previous Policy Drawings
that remain unpaid in respect of the Series G Equipment Note. The Subordination
Agent shall make each such drawing referred to in this paragraph under the
Policy (for payment into the Policy Account) no later than 12:00 p.m. (New
York
City time) on each such date and upon its receipt of the proceeds thereof pay
the amount thereof from the Policy Account to the Class G Trustee in reduction
of the outstanding Pool Balance of the Class G Certificates, together with
such
accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
(d) Primary
Liquidity Provider Drawing.
On or
after the Business Day which is the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which
an Interest Drawing shall have been made under the Primary Liquidity Facility
and remains unreimbursed for 24 months, (ii) the date on which any Downgrade
Drawing, Non-Extension Drawing or Final Drawing that was deposited into the
Primary Cash Collateral Account shall have been applied to pay any scheduled
payment of interest on the Class G Certificates and remains unreplenished to
the
Primary Cash Collateral Account or unreimbursed to the Primary Liquidity
Provider, as the case may be, for 24 months and (iii) the date on which all
of
the Equipment Notes have been Accelerated and remain unpaid for 24 months (in
each case, disregarding any reimbursements from payments by the Policy Provider
and from any Special Payment constituting proceeds from the sale of Equipment
Notes
or
Collateral during such 24-month period) (such Business Day, the “Liquidity
Provider Reimbursement Date”),
the
Policy Provider (upon at least 20 days’ prior notice from the Subordination
Agent on behalf of the Primary Liquidity Provider, which notice can be given
in
advance of the expiry of such 24-month period but cannot become effective until
the Liquidity Provider Reimbursement Date) will be required to honor drawings
under the Policy by the Subordination Agent on behalf of the Primary Liquidity
Provider in an amount sufficient to repay all outstanding drawings under the
Primary Liquidity Facility, together with interest accrued thereon in accordance
with the Primary Liquidity Facility. The Primary Liquidity Provider hereby
appoints the Subordination Agent as its agent for purposes of making the drawing
pursuant to this clause (d) and clause (vii) of the definition of “Deficiency
Amount” in the Policy and the Subordination Agent hereby accepts such
appointment and agrees to make such drawing at the direction of the Primary
Liquidity Provider and to promptly distribute all amounts received in respect
of
such drawing to the Primary Liquidity Provider.
(e) Final
Policy Drawing.
If on
the Final Legal Distribution Date of the Class G Certificates after giving
effect to the application of available funds in accordance with the
subordination provisions of this Agreement and to the application of Prior
Funds, the Subordination Agent does not then have sufficient funds available
on
such date for the payment in full of the Final Distributions (calculated as
of
such date but excluding any accrued and unpaid Premium and calculated assuming
that Continental will not cure any Payment Default) on the Class G Certificates,
then the Subordination Agent shall (i) prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on such date deliver a Notice for Payment, as provided in the Policy, to the
Policy Provider and its Fiscal Agent, requesting a Policy Drawing under such
Policy (for payment into the Policy Account) in an amount equal to the minimum
amount sufficient to enable the Subordination Agent to pay the Final
Distributions (calculated as of such date but excluding any accrued and unpaid
Premium and calculated assuming that Continental will not cure any Payment
Default) on the Class G Certificates and (ii) upon receipt pay such amount
from the Policy Account to the Class G Trustee in payment of such
amount.
(f) Avoidance
Drawings.
If at
any time the Subordination Agent shall have actual knowledge of the issuance
of
any Order, the Subordination Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the
Class G Trustee, the Primary Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider. The
Subordination Agent shall thereupon calculate the relevant Avoided Payments
resulting therefrom and shall promptly: (a) send to the Class G Trustee a
Written Notice of such amounts and (b) prior to the expiration of the
Policy, deliver to the Policy Provider and its Fiscal Agent a Notice of Avoided
Payment under such Policy, together with a copy of the documentation required
by
such Policy with respect thereto, requesting a Policy Drawing thereunder (for
payment to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession, trustee in
bankruptcy or the Subordination Agent, as applicable (for deposit into the
Policy Account)) in an amount equal to the amount of relevant Avoided Payment.
To the extent that any portion of such Avoided Payment is to be paid to the
Subordination Agent, such Written Notice shall also set the date for the
distribution of such portion of the proceeds of such Policy Drawing which date
shall constitute a Special Distribution Date and shall be the earlier of three
Business Days after the date of the expiration of the Policy and the Business
Day that immediately follows the 25th
day
after the date of such Written Notice. Upon receipt, the Subordination Agent
shall pay the proceeds of the specified Policy Drawing under the Policy to
the
Class G Trustee.
(g) Application
of Policy Drawings.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including,
without limitation, Sections 2.4 and 3.2), except as provided in Sections 3.5(b)
and 3.6(d) hereof, all payments received by the Subordination Agent in respect
of a Policy Drawing (including, without limitation, that portion, if any, of
the
proceeds of a Policy Drawing for any Avoided Payment that is to be paid to
the
Subordination Agent and not to any receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession
or trustee in bankruptcy as provided in the Policy) shall be promptly paid
from
the Policy Account to the Class G Trustee for distribution to the Class G
Certificateholders.
(h) Limitation
to Outstanding Pool Balance; Interest on Policy Drawings.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.6, except as provided
in Section 3.6(f), at no time shall the Subordination Agent make any Policy
Drawing under the Policy under clause (b), (c) or (e) of this Section 3.6 in
excess of the then outstanding Pool Balance of the Class G Certificates and
accrued and unpaid interest at the Stated Interest Rate on the Class G
Certificates (calculated assuming that Continental will not cure any Payment
Default). Nothing contained in this Intercreditor Agreement shall alter or
amend
the liabilities, obligations, requirements or procedures of the Policy Provider
under the Policy, and the Policy Provider shall not be obligated to make payment
except at the times and in the amounts and under the circumstances expressly
set
forth in the Policy.
(i) Resubmission
of Notice for Payment.
If the
Policy Provider at any time informs the Subordination Agent in accordance with
the Policy that a Notice for Payment or Notice of Avoided Payment submitted
by
the Subordination Agent does not meet the requirements of such Policy, the
Subordination Agent shall, as promptly as possible after being so informed,
submit to the Policy Provider and its Fiscal Agent an amended and revised Notice
for Payment or Notice of Avoided Payment, as the case may be, and shall pay
to
the Class G Trustee out of the Policy Account the amount received pursuant
to
such amended or revised Notice for Payment or Notice of Avoided Payment, as
the
case may be, when received.
(j) Subrogation.
The
Policy Provider will be subrogated to all of the rights of (i) the Class G
Certificateholders to payment on the Class G Certificates only to the extent
of
payment made in respect thereof under the Policy as set forth herein and (ii)
the rights of the Primary Liquidity Provider to payment under the Primary
Liquidity Facility only to the extent of payment made in respect thereof under
the Policy as set forth herein, such subrogation rights to be expressly subject
to Section 3.2 hereof and the other provisions of this Agreement, and without
duplication of any amounts payable to the Policy Provider under this Agreement
or any Policy Provider Document.
(k) Interest
Coverage.
The
interest payable by the Policy Provider under the Policy shall include interest
accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or
other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such
proceeding.
EXERCISE
OF REMEDIES
SECTION
4.1. Directions
from the Controlling Party.
(a) (i)
Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Default
under the Indenture, the Controlling Party shall direct the Subordination Agent,
which in turn shall direct the Mortgagee under the Indenture, in the exercise
of
remedies available to the holders of the Equipment Notes, including, without
limitation, the ability to vote all the Equipment Notes in favor of Accelerating
the Equipment Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. Subject
to the provisions of the next paragraph, if the Equipment Notes have been
Accelerated following an Indenture Default, the Controlling Party may direct
the
Subordination Agent to sell, assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose
of
and deliver some or all of the Pledged Spare Parts or all (but not less than
all) of the Equipment Notes to any Person at public or private sale, at any
location at the option of the Controlling Party, all upon such terms and
conditions as it may reasonably deem advisable in accordance with applicable
law.
(ii) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, so long as any Certificates remain Outstanding, during the period
ending on the date which is nine months after the earlier of (x) the
Acceleration of the Equipment Notes or (y) the occurrence of a Continental
Bankruptcy Event, without the consent of each Trustee, no Pledged Spare Parts
or
Equipment Notes may be sold if the net proceeds from such sale would be less
than the Minimum Sale Price.
(iii) At
the
request of the Controlling Party, the Subordination Agent shall from time to
time during the continuance of an Indenture Default (and before the occurrence
of a Triggering Event) commission an Appraisal with respect to the Collateral
subject to the Indenture.
(iv) After
a
Triggering Event occurs and any Equipment Note is a Non-Performing Equipment
Note, the Subordination Agent shall obtain an Appraisal with respect to the
Collateral as soon as practicable and an additional Appraisal on or prior to
each anniversary of the date of such initial Appraisal; provided
that if
the Controlling Party reasonably objects to the appraised value of the
Collateral shown in such Appraisal, the Controlling Party shall have the right
to obtain or cause to be obtained a substitute Appraisal (including any
Appraisal based upon physical inspection of the Collateral). For the avoidance
of doubt, the obligation of the Subordination Agent to obtain an Appraisal
under
this Section 4.1(a)(iv) shall not in any way diminish or discharge Continental’s
obligation to provide Appraisals under the Collateral Maintenance
Agreement.
(b) Following
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Indenture Default, the
Controlling Party shall take such actions as it may reasonably deem most
effectual to complete the sale or other disposition of the Collateral or the
Equipment Notes. In addition, in lieu of any sale, assignment, contract to
sell
or other disposition, the Controlling Party may maintain or cause the
Subordination Agent to maintain possession of the Equipment Notes and continue
to apply monies received in respect of the Equipment Notes in accordance with
Article III hereof. In addition, in lieu of such sale, assignment, contract
to
sell or other disposition, or in lieu of such maintenance of possession, the
Controlling Party may, subject to the terms and
conditions
of the Indenture, instruct the Mortgagee to foreclose on the Lien on the
Collateral or to take any other remedial action permitted under the Indenture
or
under any applicable law.
SECTION
4.2. Remedies
Cumulative.
Each and
every right, power and remedy given to the Trustees, each Liquidity Provider,
the Policy Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent
specifically or otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be
in
addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or
now
or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right,
power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may,
subject always to the terms and conditions hereof, be exercised from time to
time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by any Trustee,
any Liquidity Provider, the Policy Provider, the Controlling Party or the
Subordination Agent, as appropriate, and the exercise or the beginning of the
exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the
right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or
remedy. No delay or omission by any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Policy
Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent in the exercise
of
any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any
such
right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default or to
be an
acquiescence therein.
SECTION
4.3. Discontinuance
of Proceedings.
In case
any party to this Agreement (including the Controlling Party in such capacity)
shall have instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy
under
this Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such Proceeding shall
have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined
adversely to the Person instituting such Proceeding, then and in every such
case
each such party shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be
restored to its former position and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies
and powers of such party shall continue as if no such Proceeding had been
instituted.
SECTION
4.4. Right
of Certificateholders, Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider to Receive
Payments Not to Be Impaired.
Anything
in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding but subject to each Trust
Agreement, the right of any Certificateholder, any Liquidity Provider or the
Policy Provider, respectively, to receive payments hereunder (including without
limitation pursuant to Section 2.4 or 3.2 hereof) when due, or to institute
suit
for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the applicable Distribution
Date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
Certificateholder, Liquidity Provider or Policy Provider,
respectively.
SECTION
4.5. Undertaking
for Costs.
In any
Proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement
or in
any Proceeding against any Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent for
any
action taken or omitted by it as Controlling Party or Subordination Agent,
as
the case may be, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party
litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the
court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having
due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant. The provisions of this Section do not apply to a suit instituted
by
the Subordination Agent, a Liquidity Provider, the Policy Provider or a Trustee
or a suit by Certificateholders holding more than 10% of the original principal
amount of any Class of Certificates.

Liquidity Providers, the Policy Provider or one or more
Certificateholders.
(b) Other

The
Subordination Agent will furnish to each Liquidity Provider, the Policy Provider
and each Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof, duplicates or copies of all
reports, notices, requests, demands, certificates, financial statements and
other instruments furnished to the Subordination Agent as registered holder
of
the Equipment Notes or otherwise in its capacity as Subordination Agent to
the
extent the same shall not have been otherwise directly distributed to such
Liquidity Provider, Policy Provider or Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to
the
express provision of any other Operative Agreement.
(c) Upon
the
occurrence of an Indenture Default, the Subordination Agent shall instruct
each
Trustee to, and each Trustee shall, request that DTC post on its internet
bulletin board a securities position listing setting forth the names of all
the

SECTION
5.2. Indemnification.
The
Subordination Agent shall not be required to take any action or refrain from
taking any action under Section 5.1 (other than the first sentence thereof)
or
Article IV hereof unless the Subordination Agent shall have been indemnified
(to
the extent and in the manner reasonably satisfactory to the Subordination Agent)
against any liability, cost or expense (including counsel fees and expenses)
which may be incurred in connection therewith. The Subordination Agent shall
not
be under any obligation to take any action under this Agreement and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall require the Subordination Agent to expend
or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers
if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds
or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to it. The Subordination Agent shall not be required to take any action under
Section 5.1 (other than the first sentence thereof) or Article IV hereof, nor
shall any other provision of this Agreement be deemed to impose a duty on the
Subordination Agent to take any action, if the Subordination Agent shall have
been advised by counsel that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or
is
otherwise contrary to law.
SECTION
5.3. No
Duties Except as Specified in Intercreditor Agreement.
The
Subordination Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to take or refrain
from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Agreement, except
as
expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement; and no implied duties or

its own cost and expense (but without any right of indemnity in respect of
any
such cost or expense under Sections 5.2 or 7.1 hereof) promptly take such action
as may be necessary to duly discharge all Liens on any of the Trust Accounts
or
any monies deposited therein which result from claims against it in its
individual capacity not related to its activities hereunder or any other
Operative Agreement.
SECTION
5.4. Notice
from the Liquidity Providers and Trustees.

Providers, the Policy Provider and Trustees and to the Subordination Agent,

however,
that no
such Person shall have any liability hereunder as a result of its failure to

each Liquidity Facility and the Policy Provider Agreement as agent and trustee
for the Class G Trustee. Each of the Liquidity Providers, the Policy Provider
and the Trustees hereby designates and appoints the Subordination Agent as
the
Subordination Agent under this Agreement. WTC hereby accepts the duties hereby
created and applicable to it as the Subordination Agent and agrees to perform
the same but only upon the terms of this Agreement and agrees to receive and
disburse all monies received by it in accordance with the terms hereof. The
Subordination Agent shall not be answerable or accountable under any
circumstances, except (a) for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence
(or
ordinary negligence in the handling of funds), (b) as provided in Sections
2.2
or 5.3 hereof and (c) for liabilities that may result from the material
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Subordination Agent made
in
its individual capacity in any Operative Agreement. The Subordination Agent

the
correctness of any statement contained in any thereof, except for the

in
any manner except to the extent required by such Articles II and III and by
law,
and the Subordination Agent shall not (except as otherwise provided in Section
2.2 hereof) be liable for any interest thereon; provided,

signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate,
report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine
and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. As to the Pool
Balance of any Trust as of any date, the Subordination Agent may for all
purposes hereof rely on a certificate signed by any Responsible Officer of
the
applicable Trustee, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to
the
Subordination Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in reliance thereon. As to any fact or matter relating to the Liquidity
Providers, the Policy Provider or the Trustees the manner of ascertainment
of
which is not specifically described herein, the Subordination Agent may for
all
purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by any Responsible Officer of
the
applicable Liquidity Provider, Policy Provider or Trustee, as the case may
be,
as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection
to the Subordination Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
in
good faith in reliance thereon. The Subordination Agent shall assume, and shall
be fully protected in assuming, that each of the Liquidity Providers, the Policy
Provider and each of the Trustees are authorized to enter into this Agreement
and to take all action to be taken by them pursuant to the provisions hereof,
and shall not inquire into the authorization of each of the Liquidity Providers,
the Policy Provider and the Trustees with respect thereto. In the administration
of the trusts hereunder, the Subordination Agent may execute any of the trusts
or powers hereof and perform its powers and duties hereunder directly or through
agents or attorneys and may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled
persons to be selected and retained by it, and the Subordination Agent shall
not
be liable for the acts or omissions of any agent appointed with due care or
for
anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the
advice or written opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled
persons.

expenses and disbursements, for all services rendered hereunder and shall have
a
priority claim to the extent set forth in Article III hereof on all monies
collected hereunder for the payment of such compensation, to the extent that
such compensation shall not be paid by others. The Subordination Agent agrees
that it shall have no right against any Trustee, Liquidity Provider or the
Policy Provider for any fee as compensation for its
services
as agent under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION

the
same extent as if it were not the institution acting as the Subordination

by
a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States
of America, any State thereof or of the District of Columbia and having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000), if there is such an
institution willing and able to perform the duties of the Subordination Agent
hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms. Such corporation shall be a
citizen of the United States and shall be authorized under the laws of the
United States or any State thereof or of the District of Columbia to exercise
corporate trust powers and shall be subject to supervision or examination by
federal, state or District of Columbia authorities. If such corporation
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the

In
case
at any time the Subordination Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance

(2) the

Agent or one or more of the Trustees may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Subordination
Agent.

Subordination Agent.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no resignation or removal of the Subordination Agent shall be
effective unless and until a successor has been appointed. No appointment of
a
successor
Subordination Agent shall be effective unless and until the Rating Agencies

SUPPLEMENTS
AND AMENDMENTS
SECTION
9.1. Amendments,
Waivers, etc.
(a) This Agreement may not be supplemented, amended or modified
without the consent of each Trustee (acting, except in the case of any amendment
pursuant to Section 3.5(e)(v)(y) hereof with respect to any Replacement Primary
Liquidity Facility, any amendment pursuant to Section 3.5(c)(iv) hereof with
respect to any Replacement Above-Cap Liquidity Facility or any amendment
contemplated by the last sentence of this Section 9.1(a), with the consent
of
holders of Certificates of the related Class evidencing interests in the related
Trust aggregating not less than a majority in interest in such Trust or as
otherwise authorized pursuant to the relevant Trust Agreement), the
Subordination Agent, each Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider;
provided,
however,
that
this Agreement may be supplemented, amended or modified without the consent
of
any Trustee if such supplement, amendment or modification cures an ambiguity
or
inconsistency or does not materially adversely affect such Trustee or the
holders of the related Class of Certificates; provided further,
however,
that,
if such supplement, amendment or modification (A) would (x) directly or
indirectly modify or supersede, or otherwise conflict with, Section 2.2(b),
Section 3.5(e), Section 3.5(f)(other than the last sentence thereof), Section
3.5(l), the last sentence of this Section 9.1(a), the second sentence of Section
10.6 or this proviso (collectively, the "Continental

or (y)
otherwise adversely affect the interests of a potential Replacement Primary
Liquidity Provider or of Continental with respect to its ability to replace
the
Primary Liquidity Facility or with respect to its payment obligations under
any
Operative Agreement or (B) is made pursuant to the last sentence of this Section
9.1(a), then such supplement, amendment or modification shall not be effective
without the additional written consent of Continental. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, without the consent of each Certificateholder, each Liquidity
Provider and the Policy Provider, no supplement, amendment or modification
of
this Agreement may (i) reduce the percentage of the interest in any Trust
evidenced by the Certificates issued by such Trust necessary to consent to
modify or amend any provision of this Agreement or to waive compliance therewith
or (ii) except as provided in this Section 9.1(a), modify Section 2.4 or 3.2
hereof, relating to the distribution of monies received by the Subordination
Agent hereunder from the Equipment Notes or pursuant to the Liquidity Facilities
or the Policy. Nothing contained in this Section shall require the consent
of a
Trustee at any time following the payment of Final Distributions with respect
to
the related Class of Certificates. If the Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility
for the Primary Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.5(e) hereof
is
to be comprised of more than one instrument as contemplated by the definition
of
the term "Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility", then each of the parties
hereto agrees to amend this Agreement to incorporate appropriate mechanics
for
multiple Primary Liquidity Facilities for an individual Trust. If the
Replacement Above-Cap Liquidity Facility for the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility
in
accordance with Section 3.5(c)(iv) hereof is to be comprised of more than one
instrument as contemplated by the definition of the term "Replacement Above-Cap
Liquidity Facility", then each of the parties hereto agrees to amend this
Agreement to incorporate appropriate mechanics for multiple Above-Cap Liquidity
Facilities for an individual Trust.
(b) In
the
event that the Subordination Agent, as the registered holder of any Equipment
Note, receives a request for the giving of any notice or for its consent to
any
amendment, supplement, modification, approval, consent or waiver under such
Equipment Note, the Indenture, the Note Purchase Agreement or other related
document, (i) if no Indenture Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the
Subordination Agent shall request directions with respect to each Series of
Equipment Notes from the Trustee of the Trust which holds such Series of
Equipment Notes and shall vote or consent in accordance with the directions
of
such Trustee except that so long as (A) Final Distributions on the Class G
Certificates have not been made or any Policy Provider Amounts (other than
any
Excess Reimbursement Obligations) remain outstanding and (B) no Policy Provider
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Subordination Agent shall
request directions from the Policy Provider rather than the Class G Trustee
with
respect to the Series G Equipment Note, and (ii) if any Indenture Default shall
have occurred and be continuing with respect to such Indenture, the
Subordination Agent will exercise its voting rights as directed by the
Controlling Party, subject to Sections 4.1 and 4.4 hereof; provided
that no
such amendment, modification or waiver shall, without the consent of each
Liquidity Provider, the Policy Provider and each affected Certificateholder,
(x)
reduce the amount of principal or interest payable by Continental, or change
the
time of payment or method of calculation of any amount, under any Equipment
Note, (y) modify any of the provisions of Section 5.01, 5.02(c), 5.02(d), 6.02,
10.01, or of Article II or III of the Indenture, the definitions of “Break
Amount”, “Default”, “Event of Default”, “Interest Period”, “Majority in Interest
of Note Holders”, “Note Holder”, “Premium” or “Special Default” or the
percentage of Note Holders required to take or approve any action under the
Indenture or (z) reduce, modify or amend any indemnities in favor of the
Mortgagee or the Note Holders (except that the Mortgagee may consent to any
waiver or reduction of an indemnity payable to it) or permit the creation of
any
Lien on the Collateral or any part thereof (other than Permitted Liens (as
defined in the Indenture)) or deprive any Note Holder of the benefit of the
Lien
of the Indenture on the Collateral, except in connection with the exercise
of
remedies.
In
addition, the Subordination Agent shall not consent to any amendment or
modification of (i) the definitions of “Maximum Available Commitment” or
“Liquidity Event of Default” under the Primary Liquidity Facility or (ii) the
definition of “LIBOR” or Section 6(b) of the Reference Agency Agreement, in each
case, without the prior written consent of the Above-Cap Liquidity
Provider.
SECTION
9.2. Subordination
Agent Protected.
If, in
the reasonable opinion of the institution acting as the Subordination Agent
hereunder, any document required to be executed pursuant to the terms of Section
9.1 affects any right, duty, immunity or indemnity with respect to it under
this
Agreement or any Liquidity Facility or the Policy, the Subordination Agent
may
in its discretion decline to execute such document.
SECTION
9.3. Effect
of Supplemental Agreements.
Upon the
execution of any amendment, consent or supplement hereto pursuant to the
provisions hereof, this Agreement shall be and be deemed to be and shall be
modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Agreement
of the parties hereto and beneficiaries hereof shall thereafter be determined,
exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications
and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental
agreement shall be and be deemed to be and shall be part of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement for any and all purposes. In executing or accepting
any supplemental agreement permitted by this Article IX, the Subordination
Agent
shall
be
entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an opinion
of
counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental agreement is authorized
or permitted by this Agreement.
SECTION
9.4. Notice
to Rating Agencies.
Promptly
upon receipt of any amendment, consent, modification, supplement, waiver or
direction by the Policy Provider contemplated by this Article IX and prior
to
taking any action required to be taken thereunder, the Subordination Agent
shall
send a copy thereof to each Rating Agency.
Upon
the
reasonable request of any Rating Agency in writing, the Subordination Agent
and
the Trustees shall provide to such Rating Agency such information available
to
the Subordination Agent and the Trustees as may be relevant to maintaining
such
Rating Agency's rating on the Certificates. During the continuance of a
Triggering Event or an Indenture Default resulting from a Payment Default,
the
Subordination Agent and Trustees shall permit each Rating Agency, upon
reasonable notice and on a periodic basis, to be provided copies of documents
in
the possession of the Subordination Agent and Trustees in their respective
capacities as such reasonably related to the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Agreements and, on a reasonable periodic basis, to meet or confer
with
officers and employees of the Subordination Agent and Trustees in their
respective capacities as such to discuss such transactions, so long as such
actions are reasonably related to maintaining such Rating Agency's rating on
the
Certificates.

This
Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each

SECTION
10.9. Subordination.
(a) As between the Liquidity Providers and the Policy Provider, on
the one hand, and the Trustees and the Certificateholders, on the other hand,
and as among the Trustees and the related Certificateholders, this Agreement
shall be a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time.
(b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Agreement, if prior to the payment in full to the (i)
Primary Liquidity Provider of all Liquidity Obligations then due and payable
and
(ii) Policy Provider of all Policy Provider Amounts then due and payable, any
party hereto shall have received any payment or distribution in respect of
Equipment Notes or any other amount under the Indenture or other Operative
Agreements which, had the subordination provisions of this Agreement been
properly applied to such payment, distribution or other amount, would not have
been distributed to such Person, then such payment, distribution or other amount
shall be received and held in trust by such Person and paid over or delivered
to
the Subordination Agent for application as provided herein.
(c) If
any
Trustee, the Primary Liquidity Provider, the Policy Provider or the
Subordination Agent receives any payment in respect of any obligations owing
hereunder (or, in the case of the Primary Liquidity Provider or the Policy
Provider, in respect of the Liquidity Obligations or the Policy Provider
Amounts, as the case may be), which is subsequently invalidated, declared
preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver
or
other party, then, to the extent of such payment, such obligations (or, in
the
case of the Primary Liquidity Provider or the Policy Provider, such Liquidity
Obligations or the Policy Provider Amounts, as the case may be) intended to
be
satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been received.
(d) The
Trustees (on behalf of themselves and the holders of Certificates), the Primary
Liquidity Provider, the Policy Provider and the Subordination Agent confirm
that
the payment priorities specified in Section 3.2 shall apply in all
circumstances, notwithstanding the fact that the obligations owed to the
Trustees and the holders of Certificates are secured by certain assets and
the
Liquidity Obligations and Policy Provider Amounts may not be so secured. The
Trustees expressly agree (on behalf of themselves and the holders of
Certificates) not to assert priority over the holders of Liquidity Obligations
or Policy Provider Amounts (except as specifically set forth in Section 3.2)
due
to their status as secured creditors in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other
legal proceeding.
(e) Each
of
the Trustees (on behalf of themselves and the holders of Certificates), the
Primary Liquidity Provider, the Policy Provider and the Subordination Agent
may
take any of the following actions without impairing its rights under this
Agreement:
(i) obtain
a
Lien on any property to secure any amounts owing to it hereunder, including,
in
the case of the Primary Liquidity Provider and the Policy Provider, the
Liquidity Obligations or the Policy Provider Amounts, as the case may
be,
(ii) obtain
the primary or secondary obligation of any other obligor with respect to any
amounts owing to it hereunder, including, in the case of the Primary Liquidity
Provider and the Policy Provider, any of the Liquidity Obligations or the Policy
Provider Obligations, as the case may be,
(iii) renew,
extend, increase, alter or exchange any amounts owing to it hereunder,
including, in the case of the Primary Liquidity Provider and the Policy
Provider, any of the Liquidity Obligations or the Policy Provider Obligations,
as the case may be, or release or compromise any obligation of any obligor
with
respect thereto,
(iv) refrain
from exercising any right or remedy, or delay in exercising such right or
remedy, which it may have, or
(v) take
any
other action which might discharge a subordinated party or a surety under
applicable law;
provided,
however,
that
the taking of any such actions by any of the Trustees, the Primary Liquidity
Provider, the Policy Provider or the Subordination Agent shall not prejudice
the
rights or adversely affect the obligations of any other party under this
Agreement.
SECTION
10.10. Governing
Law.
THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION,
VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE.
(a) Each
of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(i) submits
for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement

Organization;
Qualification

Owner
is
a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under
the
Laws of the State of Delaware and has the corporate power and authority to
conduct the business in which it is currently engaged and to own or hold under
lease its properties and to enter into and perform its obligations under the
Operative Agreements to which it is party. Owner is duly qualified to do
business as a foreign corporation in good standing in each jurisdiction in
which
the nature and extent of the business conducted by it, or the ownership of
its
properties, requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so
qualified would not give rise to a Material Adverse Change to
Owner.
|
5.1.2
|
Corporate
Authorization
|
Owner
has
taken, or caused to be taken, all necessary corporate action (including, without
limitation, the obtaining of any consent or approval of stockholders required
by
its Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws) to authorize the execution and
delivery of each of the Operative Agreements to which it is party, and the
performance of its obligations thereunder.
The
execution and delivery by Owner of the Operative Agreements to which it is
party, the performance by Owner of its obligations thereunder and the
consummation by Owner on the Closing Date of the transactions contemplated
thereby, do not and will not (a) violate any provision of the Certificate
of Incorporation or By-Laws of Owner, (b) violate any Law applicable to or
binding on Owner or (c) violate or constitute any default under (other than
any violation or default that would not result in a Material Adverse Change
to
Owner), or result in the creation of any Lien (other than as permitted under
the
Trust Indenture) upon any Pledged
Spare
Part under, any indenture, mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of trust,
conditional sales contract, lease, loan or other material agreement, instrument
or document to which Owner is a party or by which Owner or any of its properties
is bound.
The
execution and delivery by Owner of the Operative Agreements to which Owner
is a
party, the performance by Owner of its obligations thereunder and the
consummation by Owner on the Closing Date of the transactions contemplated
thereby do not and will not require the consent or approval of, or the giving
of
notice to, or the registration with, or the recording or filing of any documents
with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, (a) any trustee or
other holder of any debt of Owner and (b) any Government Entity, other than
the filing of (x) the FAA Filed Documents and the Financing Statements (and
continuation statements periodically) and (y) filings, recordings, notices
or other ministerial actions pursuant to any routine recording, contractual
or
regulatory requirements applicable to it.
|
5.1.5
|
Valid
and Binding Agreements
|
The
Operative Agreements to which Owner is a party have been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by Owner and, assuming the due authorization, execution
and delivery thereof by the other party or parties thereto, constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligations of Owner and are enforceable against Owner
in accordance with the respective terms thereof, except as such enforceability
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership,
moratorium and other similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally
and general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law
or
in equity.
|
5.1.6
|
Registration
and Recordation
|
Except
for (a) the filing for recordation (and recordation) of the FAA Filed
Documents and (b) the filing of the Financing Statements (and continuation
statements relating thereto at periodic intervals), no further action, including
any filing or recording of any document (including any financing statement
in
respect thereof under Article 9 of the UCC) is necessary in order to establish
and perfect Mortgagee’s security interest in the Pledged Spare Parts as against
Owner and any other Person, in each case, in any applicable jurisdictions in
the
United States.
The
Owner’s location (as such term is used in Section 9-307 of the UCC) is
Delaware. The full and correct legal name and mailing address of Owner are
correctly set forth in Schedule 1 hereto in the column “Address for
Notices”.

a Citizen of the United States and a U.S. Air Carrier.
(b) Owner
holds all licenses, permits and franchises from the appropriate Government
Entities necessary to authorize Owner to lawfully engage in air transportation
and to carry on scheduled commercial passenger service as currently conducted,
except where the
failure
to so hold any such license, permit or franchise would not give rise to a
Material Adverse Change to Owner.
(c) Owner
is
not an “investment company” or a company controlled by an “investment company”
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
Neither
Owner nor any person authorized to act on its behalf has directly or indirectly

Security to, any person in violation of the Securities Act.
No
Person
acting on behalf of Owner is or will be entitled to any broker’s fee, commission
or finder’s fee in connection with the Transactions, other than the fees and
expenses payable by Owner in connection with the sale of the Pass Through
Certificates.
Mortgagee,
on behalf of the Note Holders and the Indenture Indemnitees, is entitled to
the
benefits of Section 1110 (as currently in effect) with respect to the right
to
take possession of the Pledged Spare Parts and to enforce any of its other
rights or remedies as provided in the Trust Indenture and the Collateral
Maintenance Agreement in the event of a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code in which Owner is a debtor.
The
Owner
has good and marketable title to the Pledged Spare Parts as of the Closing
Date,
free and clear of all Liens, except Permitted Liens.
|
|
WTC’s
Representations and
Warranties

WTC
represents and warrants (with respect to Section 5.2.10, solely in its

Delaware banking corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware, holding a valid certificate

Agreements and the Operative Agreements to which it is a party.
|

Corporate
Authorization
|
WTC
has
taken, or caused to be taken, all necessary corporate action (including, without
limitation, the obtaining of any consent or approval of stockholders required
by
Law or by its Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws) to authorize the
execution and delivery by WTC, in its individual capacity or as Mortgagee,
a
Pass Through Trustee or Subordination Agent, as the case may be, of the Pass

and the performance of its obligations thereunder.
The
execution and delivery by WTC, in its individual capacity or as Mortgagee,
a
Pass Through Trustee or Subordination Agent, as the case may be, of the Pass
Through Trustee Agreements and the Operative Agreements to which it is a party,
the performance by WTC, in its individual capacity or as Mortgagee, a Pass
Through Trustee or Subordination Agent, as the case may be, of its obligations
thereunder and the consummation on the Closing Date of the transactions
contemplated thereby, do not and will not (a) violate any provision of the
Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of WTC, (b) violate any Law
applicable to or binding on WTC, in its individual capacity or (except in the
case of any Law relating to any Plan) as Mortgagee, a Pass Through Trustee

Lien
of the Trust Indenture) upon any property of WTC, in its individual capacity

|
Valid
and Binding Agreements
|
The
Pass
Through Trustee Agreements and the Operative Agreements to which it is a party
have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by WTC and, assuming the
due
authorization, execution and delivery by the other party or parties thereto,
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of WTC, in its individual
capacity or as Mortgagee, a Pass Through Trustee or Subordination Agent, as
the
case may be, and are enforceable against WTC, in its individual capacity or
as
Mortgagee, a Pass Through Trustee or Subordination Agent, as the case may be,
in
accordance with the respective terms thereof, except as such enforceability
may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium
or other similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and general
principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in
equity.
WTC
is a
Citizen of the United States.
On
the
Closing Date, there are no Liens attributable to WTC in respect of all or any
part of the Collateral.
There
are
no pending or, to the Actual Knowledge of WTC, threatened actions or proceedings
against WTC, in its individual capacity or as Mortgagee, a Pass Through Trustee
or Subordination Agent, before any court, administrative agency or tribunal
which, if determined adversely to WTC, in its individual capacity or as
Mortgagee, a Pass Through Trustee or Subordination Agent, as the case may be,
would materially adversely affect the ability of WTC, in its individual capacity
or as Mortgagee, a Pass Through Trustee or Subordination Agent, as the case
may
be, to perform its obligations under any of the Operative Agreements to which
Mortgagee is a party, the Pass Through Trustee Agreements or the Subordination
Agent Agreements.
Neither
WTC nor any person authorized to act on its behalf has directly or indirectly
offered any beneficial interest or Security relating to the ownership of any
Pledged Spare Part or any interest in the Collateral or any of the Equipment
Notes or any other interest in or Security under the Collateral for sale to,
or
solicited any offer to acquire any such interest or Security from, or has sold
any such interest or Security to, any Person other than the Subordination Agent
and the Pass Through Trustees, except for the offering and sale of the Pass
Through Certificates.
The
Equipment Notes to be acquired by the Subordination Agent are being acquired
by
it for the account of the Pass Through Trustees, for investment and not with
a
view to any resale or
distribution
thereof, except that, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in
Section 9, the disposition by it of its Equipment Notes shall at all times
be within its control.
There
are
no Taxes payable by any Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, imposed
by the State of Delaware or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by such
Pass
Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, of this Agreement or any of the
Pass
Through Trustee Agreements (other than franchise or other taxes based on or
measured by any fees or compensation received by any such Pass Through Trustee
or WTC, as the case may be, for services rendered in connection with the
transactions contemplated by any of the Pass Through Trust Agreements), and
there are no Taxes payable by any Pass Through Trustee or WTC, as the case
may
be, imposed by the State of Delaware or any political subdivision thereof in
connection with the acquisition, possession or ownership by any such Pass
Through Trustee of any of the Equipment Notes (other than franchise or other
taxes based on or measured by any fees or compensation received by any such
Pass
Through Trustee or WTC, as the case may be, for services rendered in connection
with the transactions contemplated by any of the Pass Through Trust Agreements),
and, assuming that the trusts created by the Pass Through Trust Agreements
will
not be taxable as corporations, but, rather, each will be characterized as
a
grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J of the Code or as a
partnership under Subchapter K of the Code, such trusts will not be subject
to
any Taxes imposed by the State of Delaware or any political subdivision
thereof.
No
Person
acting on behalf of WTC, in its individual capacity or as Mortgagee, a Pass
Through Trustee or Subordination Agent, as the case may be, is or will be
entitled to any broker’s fee, commission or finder’s fee in connection with the
Transactions.

Security from, or sell any such interest or Security to, any Person in violation

with
respect to any such offer, sale or solicitation by any other party
hereto.

WTC,
in
its individual capacity and as Mortgagee, a Pass Through Trustee or

with
the terms thereof.
WTC
shall
indemnify (on an after-tax basis) and hold harmless Owner against any United
States withholding taxes (and related interest, penalties and additions to

by WTC to withhold on payments to any Note Holder if such Note Holder failed
to
provide to Mortgagee necessary certificates or forms to substantiate the right
to exemption from such withholding tax.

Such
Note
Holder (if it is a Non-U.S. Person) agrees to indemnify (on an after-tax basis)
and hold harmless Owner and Mortgagee against any United States withholding

both of the following:
(i) a
written
representation and covenant that either (a) no portion of the funds it uses
to
purchase, acquire and hold such Equipment Note or interest directly or
indirectly constitutes, or may be deemed under the Code or ERISA or any rulings,
regulations or court decisions thereunder to constitute, the assets of any

or (b) the transfer, and subsequent holding, of such Equipment Note or interest
shall not involve or give rise to a transaction that constitutes a prohibited
transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1)

Through Trustee, Subordination Agent, each Note Holder and Mortgagee agrees
as
to itself with Owner that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred

other Person claiming by, through or under it to) interfere with Owner’s rights
in accordance with the Trust Indenture to the quiet enjoyment, possession and
use of the Collateral.
Each
Pass
Through Trustee, Subordination Agent and Mortgagee covenants and agrees, for
the
benefit of Owner, that it shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any

Agreements which by its terms is not to be unreasonably withheld.
Each
Pass
Through Trustee, Subordination Agent, Mortgagee and each Note Holder agrees
not
to obtain or maintain insurance for its own account as permitted by
Section 4.09 of the Trust Indenture if such insurance would limit or
otherwise adversely affect the coverage of any insurance required to be obtained
or maintained by Owner pursuant to Section 4.09 of the Trust
Indenture.

Extent
of Interest of Note
Holders

A
Note
Holder shall not, as such, have any further interest in, or other right with
respect to, the Collateral when and if the principal and Premium, if any, of

Through Agreements (unless such requirement results from the actions of an
Indemnitee not required by or made pursuant to the Operative Agreements or
the
Pass Through Agreements);
(l) To
the

the
extent incurred by or asserted against an Indemnitee as a result of any
“prohibited transaction,” within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section

of
such Indemnitee or any such Affiliate or a successor or permitted assignee
of
any of the foregoing.
This
Agreement constitutes a separate agreement with respect to each Indemnitee
and
is enforceable directly by each such Indemnitee.
If
a
claim for any Expense that an Indemnitee shall be indemnified against under
this
Section 8.1 is made, such Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee
to notify Owner as provided in this Section 8.1.4, or in Section 8.1.5,
shall not release Owner from any of its obligations to indemnify such Indemnitee
hereunder, except to the extent that such failure results in an additional
Expense to Owner (in which event Owner shall not be responsible for such
additional expense) or materially impairs Owner’s ability to contest such
claim.
|
8.1.5
|
Notice
of Proceedings; Defense of Claims;
Limitations
|
(a) In
case
any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnitee for
which
Owner is responsible under this Section 8.1, such Indemnitee shall notify
Owner of the commencement thereof and Owner may, at its sole cost and expense,
participate in and to the extent that it shall wish (subject to the provisions
of the following paragraph), assume and control the defense thereof and, subject
to Section 8.1.5(c), settle or compromise the same.
(b) Owner
or
its insurer(s) shall have the right, at its or their expense, to investigate
or,
if Owner or its insurer(s) shall agree not to dispute liability to the
Indemnitee giving notice of such action, suit or proceeding under this
Section 8.1.5 for indemnification hereunder or under any insurance policies
pursuant to which coverage is sought, control (using counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the respective Indemnitee) the defense of, any action, suit
or
proceeding, relating to any Expense for which indemnification is sought pursuant
to this Section 8.1, and each Indemnitee shall cooperate with Owner or its
insurer(s) with respect thereto; provided,
that
Owner shall not be entitled to control the defense of any such action, suit,
proceeding or compromise any such Expense (x) during the continuance of any
Event of Default, (y) if such proceedings will involve a material risk of
the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a
Permitted Lien) on any of the Collateral, unless Owner shall have posted a
bond
or other security reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitee with
respect to such risk or (z) if such proceedings could entail any risk of
criminal liability being imposed on such Indemnitee. In connection with any
such
action, suit or proceeding being controlled by Owner, such Indemnitee shall
have
the right to participate therein, at its sole cost and expense, with its own
counsel reasonably satisfactory to Owner.
(c) In
no
event shall any Indemnitee enter into a settlement or other compromise with
respect to any Expense without the prior written consent of Owner, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such Indemnitee waives
its
right to be indemnified with respect to such Expense under this Section
8.1.
(d) In
the
case of any Expense indemnified by the Owner hereunder which is covered by
a
policy of insurance maintained by Owner pursuant to Section 4.09 of the
Indenture, at Owner’s expense, each Indemnitee agrees to cooperate with the
insurers in the exercise of their
rights
to
investigate, defend or compromise such Expense as may be required to retain
the
benefits of such insurance with respect to such Expense.
(e) If
an
Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, Owner may require such Indemnitee
to agree in writing to the terms of this Section 8 and Section 12.8
prior to making any payment to such Indemnitee under this
Section 8.
(f) Nothing
contained in this Section 8.1.5 shall be deemed to require an Indemnitee to
contest any Expense or to assume responsibility for or control of any judicial
proceeding with respect thereto.
Owner
will provide the relevant Indemnitee with such information not within the
control of such Indemnitee, as is in Owner’s control or is reasonably available
to Owner, which such Indemnitee may reasonably request and will otherwise
cooperate with such Indemnitee so as to enable such Indemnitee to fulfill its
obligations under Section 8.1.5. The Indemnitee shall supply Owner with
such information not within the control of Owner, as is in such Indemnitee’s
control or is reasonably available to such Indemnitee, which Owner may
reasonably request to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent
permitted by Section 8.1.5.
|
8.1.7
|
Effect
of Other Indemnities; Subrogation; Further
Assurances
|
Upon
the
payment in full by Owner of any indemnity provided for under this Agreement,
Owner, without any further action and to the full extent permitted by Law,
will
be subrogated to all rights and remedies of the person indemnified (other than
with respect to any of such Indemnitee’s insurance policies or in connection
with any indemnity claim such Indemnitee may have under Section 6.03 or
8.01 of the Trust Indenture) in respect of the matter as to which such indemnity
was paid. Each Indemnitee will give such further assurances or agreements and
cooperate with Owner to permit Owner to pursue such claims, if any, to the
extent reasonably requested by Owner and at Owner’s expense.
If
an
Indemnitee receives any refund, in whole or in part, with respect to any Expense
paid by Owner hereunder, it will promptly pay the amount refunded (but not
an
amount in excess of the amount Owner or any of its insurers has paid in respect
of such Expense) over to Owner unless an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, in which case such amounts shall be paid over to Mortgagee
to
hold as security for Owner’s obligations under the Operative Agreements or, if
requested by Owner, applied to satisfy such obligations.
|
8.2.1
|
Invoices
and Payment
|
The
Mortgagee shall promptly submit to Owner for its prompt approval (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld) copies of invoices in reasonable detail of the
Transaction Expenses
for
which
it is responsible for providing information as they are received (but in no
event later than the 90th day after the Closing Date). If so submitted and
approved, the Owner agrees promptly, but in any event no later than the 105th
day after the Closing Date, to pay Transaction Expenses.
|
8.2.2
|
Payment
of Other Expenses
|
Owner
shall pay (i) the ongoing fees and expenses of Mortgagee, and (ii) all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees
and
disbursements of counsel) incurred by Mortgagee or any Note Holder attributable
to any waiver, amendment or modification of any Operative Agreement to the
extent requested by Owner.
Except
as
provided in Section 8.3.2, Owner agrees that each payment paid by Owner under
the Equipment Notes, and any other payment or indemnity paid by Owner to a
Tax
Indemnitee under any Operative Agreement, shall be free of all withholdings
or
deductions with respect to Taxes of any nature (other than U.S. federal, state
or local withholding taxes on, based on or measured by gross or net income),
and
in the event that Owner shall be required by applicable law to make any such
withholding or deduction for any such payment (x) Owner shall make all such
withholdings or deductions, (y) the amount payable by Owner shall be increased
so that after making all required withholdings or deductions such Tax Indemnitee
receives the same amount that it would have received had no such withholdings
or
deductions been made, and (z) Owner shall pay the full amount withheld or
deducted to the relevant Taxing Authority in accordance with applicable law.
Except as provided in Section 8.3.2 and whether or not any of the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated, Owner shall pay, indemnify, protect, defend
and hold each Tax Indemnitee harmless from all Taxes imposed by any Taxing
Authority that may from time to time be imposed on or asserted against any
Tax
Indemnitee or any Pledged Spare Part, or any interest therein (whether or not

would not have been subject to Taxes of such type by such jurisdiction but
for
(I) the location, use or operation of any Pledged Spare Part thereof by an
Owner
Person within the jurisdiction of the Taxing Authority imposing such Tax, or
(II) the activities of any Owner Person in such jurisdiction, including, but
not
limited to, use of any aircraft by Owner in such jurisdiction, (III) the status
of any Owner Person as a foreign entity or as an entity owned in whole or in
part by foreign persons, (IV) Owner having made (or having been deemed to have
made) payments to such Tax Indemnitee from the relevant jurisdiction or (V)
in
the case of the Pass Through Trustees, the Note Holders or any related Tax

in which the Tax on transfer is imposed on, or is collected from, the

by
such Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee of any interest in any Pledged

as a
result of (in whole or in part) failure of such Tax Indemnitee or a related

be
caused by the failure of Owner to fulfill its obligations, if any, under Section
8.3.6 with respect to such return;
(i) resulting
from, or that would not have been imposed but for, any Liens arising as a result

discharge under the Operative Agreements;
(j) imposed
on any Tax Indemnitee as a result of the breach by such Tax Indemnitee or a

representation or warranty by such Tax Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof
in
any Operative Agreement;
(k) in
the
nature of an intangible or similar Tax (i) upon or with respect to the value
or
principal amount of the interest of any Note Holder in any Equipment Note or
the
loan evidenced thereby but only if such Taxes are in the nature of franchise
Taxes or result from the Tax Indemnitee doing business in the taxing
jurisdiction and are imposed because of the place of incorporation or the
activities unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative
Agreements in the taxing jurisdiction of such Tax Indemnitee;
(l) imposed
on a Tax Indemnitee by a Taxing Authority of a jurisdiction outside the United
States to the extent that such Taxes would not have been imposed but for a
connection between the Tax Indemnitee or a related Tax Indemnitee and such
jurisdiction imposing such Tax unrelated to the transactions contemplated by
the
Operative Agreements; or
(m) Taxes
relating to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
For
purposes hereof, a Tax Indemnitee and any other Tax Indemnitees that are
successors, assigns, agents, servants or Affiliates of such Tax Indemnitee
shall
be related Tax Indemnitees.
(a) Owner’s
indemnity obligation to a Tax Indemnitee under this Section 8.3 shall equal
the
amount which, after taking into account any Tax imposed upon the receipt or
accrual of the amounts payable under this Section 8.3 and any tax benefits
actually recognized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of the indemnifiable
Tax
(including, without limitation, any benefits recognized as a result of an
indemnifiable Tax being utilized by such Tax Indemnitee as a credit against
Taxes not indemnifiable under this Section 8.3), shall equal the amount of
the
Tax indemnifiable under this Section 8.3.
(b) At
Owner’s request, the computation of the amount of any indemnity payment owed by
Owner or any amount owed by a Tax Indemnitee to Owner pursuant to this Section
8.3 shall be verified and certified by an independent public accounting firm
selected by such Tax Indemnitee and reasonably satisfactory to Owner. Such
verification shall be binding. The costs of such verification (including the
fee
of such public accounting firm) shall be borne by Owner unless such verification
shall result in an adjustment in Owner’s favor of 5% or more of the net present
value of the payment as computed by such Tax Indemnitee, in which case the
costs
shall be paid by such Tax Indemnitee.
(c) Each
Tax
Indemnitee shall provide Owner with such certifications, information and
documentation as shall be in such Tax Indemnitee’s possession and as shall be
reasonably requested by Owner to minimize any indemnity payment pursuant to
this
Section 8.3; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, no Tax Indemnitee shall be required to provide Owner with any Tax
returns.
(d) Each
Tax
Indemnitee shall promptly forward to Owner any written notice, bill or advice
received by it from any Taxing Authority concerning any Tax for which it seeks
indemnification under this Section 8.3. Owner shall pay any amount for which
it
is liable pursuant to this Section 8.3 directly to the appropriate Taxing
Authority if legally permissible or upon demand of a Tax Indemnitee, to such
Tax
Indemnitee within 30 days of such demand (or, if a contest occurs in accordance
with Section 8.3.4, within 30 days after a Final Determination (as defined
below)), but in no event more than one Business Day prior to the date the Tax
to
which such amount payable hereunder relates is due. If requested by a Tax
Indemnitee in writing, Owner shall furnish to the appropriate Tax Indemnitee
the
original or a certified copy of a receipt for Owner’s payment of any Tax paid by
Owner or such other evidence of payment of such Tax as is acceptable to such
Tax
Indemnitee. Owner shall also furnish promptly upon written request such data
as
any Tax Indemnitee may reasonably require to enable such Tax Indemnitee to
comply with the requirements of any taxing jurisdiction unless such data is
not
reasonably available to Owner or, unless such data is specifically requested
by
a Taxing Authority, is not customarily furnished by domestic air carriers under
similar circumstances. For purposes of this Section 8.3, a “Final Determination”
shall mean (i) a decision, judgment, decree or other order by any court of
competent jurisdiction that occurs pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.3.4,
which decision, judgment, decree or other order has become final and
unappealable, (ii) a closing agreement or settlement agreement entered into
in
accordance with Section 8.3.4 that has become binding and is not subject to
further review or appeal (absent fraud, misrepresentation, etc.), or (iii)
the
termination of administrative proceedings and the expiration of the time for
instituting a claim in a court proceeding.
(e) If
any
Tax Indemnitee shall actually realize a tax savings by reason of any Tax paid
or
indemnified by Owner pursuant to this Section 8.3 (whether such tax savings
shall be by means of a foreign tax credit, depreciation or cost recovery
deduction or otherwise) and such savings is not otherwise taken into account
in
computing such payment or indemnity such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Owner
an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such tax savings, plus any
additional tax savings recognized as the result of any payment made pursuant
to
this sentence, when, as, if, and to the extent, realized or (ii) the amount
of
all payments pursuant to this Section 8.3 by Owner to such Tax Indemnitee (less
any payments previously made by such Tax Indemnitee to Owner pursuant to this
Section 8.3.3 (e)) (and the excess, if any, of the amount described in clause
(i) over the amount described in clause (ii) shall be carried forward and
applied to reduce pro tanto any subsequent obligations of Owner to make payments
to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 8.3); provided, that such Tax
Indemnitee shall not be required to make any payment pursuant to this sentence
so long as an Event of Default of a monetary nature has occurred and is
continuing. If a tax benefit is later disallowed or denied, the disallowance
or
denial shall be treated as a Tax indemnifiable under Section 8.3.1 without
regard to the provisions of Section 8.3.2 (other than Section 8.3.2 (f)). Each
such Tax Indemnitee shall in good faith use reasonable efforts in filing its
tax
returns and in dealing with Taxing Authorities to seek and claim any such tax
benefit.
(a) If
a
written claim is made against a Tax Indemnitee for Taxes with respect to which
Owner could be liable for payment or indemnity hereunder, or if a Tax Indemnitee
makes a determination that a Tax is due for which Owner could have an indemnity
obligation hereunder, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly give Owner notice
in
writing of such claim (provided, that failure to so notify Owner shall not
relieve Owner of its indemnity obligations hereunder unless such failure to
notify effectively forecloses Owner’s rights to require a contest of such claim)
and shall take no action with respect to such claim without the prior written
consent of Owner for 30 days following the receipt of such notice by Owner;
provided, that, in the case of a claim made against a Tax Indemnitee, if such
Tax Indemnitee shall be required by law to take action prior to the end of
such
30-day period, such Tax Indemnitee shall, in such notice to Owner, so inform
Owner, and such Tax Indemnitee shall take no action for as long as it is legally
able to do so (it being understood that a Tax Indemnitee shall be entitled
to
pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund prior to the end of such 30-day period
if (i)(A) the failure to so pay the Tax would result in substantial penalties
(unless immediately reimbursed by Owner) and the act of paying the Tax would
not
materially prejudice the right to contest or (B) the failure to so pay would
result in criminal penalties and (ii) such Tax Indemnitee shall take any action
so required in connection with so paying the Tax in a manner that is the least
prejudicial to the pursuit of the contest). In addition, such Tax Indemnitee
shall (provided, that Owner shall have agreed to keep such information
confidential other than to the extent necessary in order to contest the claim)
furnish Owner with copies of any requests for information from any Taxing
Authority relating to such Taxes with respect to which Owner may be required
to
indemnify hereunder. If requested by Owner in writing within 30 days after
its
receipt of such notice, such Tax Indemnitee shall, at the expense of Owner
(including, without limitation, all reasonable costs, expenses and reasonable
attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements), in good faith contest (or,
if permitted by applicable law, allow Owner to contest) through appropriate
administrative and judicial proceedings the validity, applicability or amount
of
such Taxes by (I)
resisting
payment thereof, (II) not paying the same except under protest if protest is
necessary and proper or (III) if the payment is made, using reasonable efforts
to obtain a refund thereof in an appropriate administrative and/or judicial
proceeding. If requested to do so by Owner, the Tax Indemnitee shall appeal
any
adverse administrative or judicial decision, except that the Tax Indemnitee
shall not be required to pursue any appeals to the United States Supreme Court.
If and to the extent the Tax Indemnitee is able to separate the contested issue
or issues from other issues arising in the same administrative or judicial
proceeding that are unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative
Agreements without, in the good faith judgment of such Tax Indemnitee, adversely
affecting such Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall permit Owner to control
the conduct of any such proceeding and shall provide to Owner (at Owner’s cost
and expense) with such information or data that is in such Tax Indemnitee’s
control or possession that is reasonably necessary to conduct such contest.
In
the case of a contest controlled by a Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall
consult with Owner in good faith regarding the manner of contesting such claim
and shall keep Owner reasonably informed regarding the progress of such contest.
A Tax Indemnitee shall not fail to take any action expressly required by this
Section 8.3.4 (including, without limitation, any action regarding any appeal
of
an adverse determination with respect to any claim) or settle or compromise
any
claim without the prior written consent of the Owner (except as contemplated
by
Section 8.3.4(b) or (c)).
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall a Tax Indemnitee be required to pursue any
contest (or to permit Owner to pursue any contest) unless (i) Owner shall have
agreed to pay such Tax Indemnitee on demand all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by such Tax Indemnitee in connection with contesting such Taxes,
including, without limitation, all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses
and reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements, (ii) if such
contest shall involve the payment of the claim, Owner shall advance the amount
thereof (to the extent indemnified hereunder) plus interest, penalties and
additions to tax with respect thereto that are required to be paid prior to
the
commencement of such contest on an interest-free after-Tax basis to such Tax
Indemnitee (and such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Owner any net
realized tax benefits resulting from such advance including any tax benefits
resulting from making such payment), (iii) such Tax Indemnitee shall have
reasonably determined that the action to be taken will not result in any
material risk of forfeiture, sale or loss of any Pledged Spare Part (unless
Owner shall have made provisions to protect the interests of any such Tax
Indemnitee in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee)
(provided, that such Tax Indemnitee agrees to notify Owner in writing promptly
after it becomes aware of any such risk), (iv) no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing unless Owner has provided security for its
obligations hereunder by advancing to such Tax Indemnitee before proceeding
or
continuing with such contest, the amount of the Tax being contested, plus any
interest and penalties and an amount estimated in good faith by such Tax
Indemnitee for expenses, and (v) prior to commencing any judicial action
controlled by Owner, Owner shall have acknowledged its liability for such claim
hereunder, provided that Owner shall not be bound by its acknowledgment if
the
Final Determination articulates conclusions of law and fact that demonstrate
that Owner has no liability for the contested amounts hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any Tax Indemnitee shall release, waive, compromise or settle
any claim which may be indemnifiable by Owner pursuant to this Section 8.3
without the written permission of Owner, Owner’s obligation to indemnify such
Tax Indemnitee with respect to such claim (and all directly related claims
and
claims based on the
outcome
of such claim) shall terminate, subject to Section 8.3.4(c), and subject to
Section 8.3.4(c), such Tax Indemnitee shall repay to Owner any amount previously
paid or advanced to such Tax Indemnitee with respect to such claim, plus
interest at the rate that would have been payable by the relevant Taxing
Authority with respect to a refund of such Tax.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Section 8.3, a Tax Indemnitee will not be required
to
contest the imposition of any Tax and shall be permitted to settle or compromise
any claim without Owner’s consent if such Tax Indemnitee (i) shall waive its
right to indemnity under this Section 8.3 with respect to such Tax (and any
directly related claim and any claim the outcome of which is determined based
upon the outcome of such claim), (ii) shall pay to Owner any amount previously
paid or advanced by Owner pursuant to this Section 8.3 with respect to such
Tax,
plus interest at the rate that would have been payable by the relevant Taxing
Authority with respect to a refund of such Tax, and (iii) shall agree to discuss
with Owner the views or positions of any relevant Taxing Authority with respect
to the imposition of such Tax.
If
any
Tax Indemnitee shall receive a refund of, or be entitled to a credit against
other liability for, all or any part of any Taxes paid, reimbursed or advanced
by Owner, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Owner within 30 days of such receipt
an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of such refund or credit plus
any net tax benefit (taking into account any Taxes incurred by such Tax
Indemnitee by reason of the receipt of such refund or realization of such
credit) actually realized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of any payment
by
such Tax Indemnitee made pursuant to this sentence (including this clause (a))
and (b) such tax payment, reimbursement or advance by Owner to such Tax
Indemnitee theretofore made pursuant to this Section 8.3 (and the excess, if
any, of the amount described in clause (a) over the amount described in clause
(b) shall be carried forward and applied to reduce pro tanto any subsequent
obligation of Owner to make payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this
Section 8.3). If, in addition to such refund or credit, such Tax Indemnitee
shall receive (or be credited with) an amount representing interest on the
amount of such refund or credit, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Owner within
30 days of such receipt or realization of such credit that proportion of such
interest that shall be fairly attributable to Taxes paid, reimbursed or advanced
by Owner prior to the receipt of such refund or realization of such
credit.
If
any
report, return or statement is required to be filed with respect to any Tax
which is subject to indemnification under this Section 8.3, Owner shall timely
file the same (except for any such report, return or statement which a Tax
Indemnitee has timely notified the Owner in writing that such Tax Indemnitee
intends to file, or for which such Tax Indemnitee is required by law to file,
in
its own name); provided, that the relevant Tax Indemnitee shall furnish Owner
with any information in such Tax Indemnitee’s possession or control that is
reasonably necessary to file any such return, report or statement and is
reasonably requested in writing by Owner (it being understood that the Tax
Indemnitee shall not be required to furnish copies of its actual tax returns,
although it may be required to furnish relevant information contained therein).
Owner shall either file such report, return or statement and send a copy of
such
report, return or statement to such Tax Indemnitee, or, where Owner is not
permitted to file such report, return or
statement,
it shall notify such Tax Indemnitee of such requirement and prepare and deliver
such report, return or statement to such Tax Indemnitee in a manner satisfactory
to such Tax Indemnitee within a reasonable time prior to the time such report,
return or statement is to be filed.
Each
Tax
Indemnitee agrees to furnish from time to time to Owner or Mortgagee or to
such
other person as Owner or Mortgagee may designate, at Owner’s or Mortgagee’s
request, such duly executed and properly completed forms as may be necessary
or
appropriate in order to claim any reduction of or exemption from any withholding
or other Tax imposed by any Taxing Authority, if (x) such reduction or exemption
is available to such Tax Indemnitee and (y) Owner has provided such Tax
Indemnitee with any information necessary to complete such form not otherwise
reasonably available to such Tax Indemnitee.
If
a Tax
Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, Owner may require the Tax
Indemnitee to agree in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to Owner, to
the
terms of this Section 8.3 and Section 12.8 prior to making any payment to such
Tax Indemnitee under this Section 8.3.
Upon
payment of any Tax by Owner pursuant to this Section 8.3 to or on behalf of
a
Tax Indemnitee, Owner, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any
claims that such Tax Indemnitee may have relating thereto. Such Tax Indemnitee
shall cooperate with Owner (to the extent such cooperation does not result
in
any unreimbursed cost, expense or liability to such Tax Indemnitee) to permit
Owner to pursue such claims.
Any
payments made pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.3 shall be due on the 30th day
after demand therefor and shall be made directly to the relevant Indemnitee
or
Tax Indemnitee or to Owner, in immediately available funds at such bank or
to
such account as specified by such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or Owner, as
the
case may be, in written directives to the payor, or, if no such direction shall
have been given, by check of the payor payable to the order of, and mailed
to,
such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or Owner, as the case may be, by certified
mail, postage prepaid, at its address as set forth in this
Agreement.
If
any
amount payable by Owner, any Indemnitee or any Tax Indemnitee under
Section 8.1 or 8.3 is not paid when due, the person obligated to make such
payment shall pay on demand, to the extent permitted by Law, to the person
entitled thereto, interest on any such amount for the period from and including
the due date for such amount to but excluding the date the same is paid, at
the
Payment Due Rate. Such interest shall be paid in the same manner as the unpaid
amount in respect of which such interest is due.
The
obligations of Owner in respect of all indemnities, obligations, adjustments
and
payments in Section 8.1 or 8.3 are expressly made for the benefit of, and
shall be enforceable by, the Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee entitled thereto,
notwithstanding any provision of the Trust Indenture.

ASSIGNMENT
OR TRANSFER OF INTEREST
|
Subject
to Section 6.3.2 hereof and Section 2.07 of the Trust Indenture, any Note
Holder may, at any time and from time to time, Transfer or grant participations
in all or any portion of the Equipment Notes and/or all or any portion of its
beneficial interest in its Equipment Notes to any person (it being understood
that the sale or issuance of Pass Through Certificates by a Pass Through Trustee
shall not be considered a Transfer or participation); provided,
that
any participant in any such participations shall not have any direct rights
under the Operative Agreements or any Lien on all or any part of the Collateral
and Owner shall not have any increased liability or obligations as a result
of
any such participation. In the case of any such Transfer, the Transferee, by
acceptance of Equipment Notes in connection with such Transfer, shall be deemed
to be bound by all of the covenants of Note Holders contained in the Operative
Agreements.
Upon
any
Transfer in accordance with Section 9.1 (other than any Transfer by any
Note Holder, to the extent it grants only participations in Equipment Notes
or
in its beneficial interest therein), Transferee shall be deemed a “Note Holder,”
for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements, and
the
transferring Note Holder shall be released from all of its liabilities and
obligations under this Agreement and any other Operative Agreements to the
extent such liabilities and obligations arise after such Transfer and, in each
case, to the extent such liabilities and obligations are assumed by the
Transferee; provided,
that
such transferring Note Holder (and its respective Affiliates, successors,
assigns, agents, servants, representatives, directors and officers) will
continue to have the benefit of any rights or indemnities under any Operative
Agreement vested or relating to circumstances, conditions, acts or events prior
to such Transfer.
It
is the
intention of each of the Owner, the Note Holders (such intention being evidenced
by each of their acceptance of an Equipment Note), and Mortgagee that Mortgagee
shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 in the event of a case
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in which Owner is a
debtor.
Without
prejudice to the representations, warranties or covenants regarding the status
of any party hereto as a Citizen of the United States, each of Owner, WTC and
Mortgagee agrees that it will, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of any
facts
that would cast doubt upon its continuing status as a Citizen of the United
States and promptly upon public disclosure of negotiations in respect of any
transaction which would or might adversely affect such status, notify in writing
all parties hereto of all relevant matters in connection therewith.
Upon
WTC
giving any notice in accordance with Section 11.1, Mortgagee shall (if and
so long as such citizenship is necessary under the Act as in effect at such
time
or, if it is not necessary, if and so long as Mortgagee’s citizenship could have
any adverse effect on Owner, or any Note Holder), subject to Section 9.02
of the Trust Indenture, resign as Mortgagee promptly upon its ceasing to be
such
a citizen.
No
provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented, waived, modified,
discharged, terminated or otherwise varied orally, but only by an instrument
in
writing that specifically identifies the provision of this Agreement that it
purports to amend, supplement, waive, modify, discharge, terminate or otherwise
vary and is signed by the party against which the enforcement of the amendment,
supplement, waiver, modification, discharge, termination or variance is sought.
Each such amendment, supplement, waiver, modification, discharge, termination
or
variance shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which it is given. No provision of this Agreement shall be varied
or
contradicted by oral communication, course of dealing or performance or other
manner not set forth in an agreement, document or instrument in writing and
signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is
sought.
If
any
provision hereof shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect
in any jurisdiction, then, to the extent permitted by Law, (a) all other
provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction
and
(b) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the
validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction. If, however, any Law pursuant to which such provisions are held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable may be waived, such Law is hereby waived
by
the parties hereto to the full extent permitted, to the end that this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a valid and binding agreement in all respects, enforceable
in accordance with its terms.
The
indemnities set forth herein shall survive the delivery or return of the
Collateral, the Transfer of any interest by any Note Holder of its Equipment
Note and the expiration or other termination of this Agreement, any other
Operative Agreement or any Policy Provider Document.

Agreement, all schedules and exhibits hereto and all agreements, instruments
and
documents relating hereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers
and modifications that may hereafter be executed and (b) financial
statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished
to any party hereto, may be reproduced by such party by any photographic,
photostatic, microfilm, micro-card, miniature photographic or other similar
process, and such party may destroy any original documents so reproduced. Any
such reproduction shall be as admissible in evidence as the original itself
in
any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in
existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such party in the
regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further
reproduction of such reproduction likewise is admissible in
evidence.
This
Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be
executed in any number of counterparts (or upon separate signature pages bound
together into one or more counterparts), each of which when so executed shall
be
deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
No
failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise, and no delay by any party
hereto in exercising, any of its respective rights, powers, remedies or
privileges under this Agreement or provided at Law, in equity or otherwise
shall

its
successors and assigns, in trust for the equal and proportionate benefit and
security of the Note Holders and the Indenture Indemnitees, except as provided

all
property specified in clauses (1) through (7) inclusive above, subject to the
terms and provisions set forth in this Trust Indenture.
It

expressly agreed that anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding,

of
the obligations assumed by it thereunder, except to the extent prohibited or
excluded from doing so pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof, and the
Mortgagee, the Note Holders and the
Indenture
Indemnitees shall have no obligation or liability under the Indenture Agreements
by reason of or arising out of the assignment hereunder, nor shall the
Mortgagee, the Note Holders or the Indenture Indemnitees be required or
obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of the Owner
under
or pursuant to the Indenture Agreements, or, except as herein expressly
provided, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or
sufficiency of any payment received by it, to present or file any claim, or
to
take any action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts which may
have
been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or
times.
The
Owner
does hereby constitute the Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney of the Owner,
irrevocably, granted for good and valuable consideration and coupled with an
interest and with full power of substitution, and with full power (in the name
of the Owner or otherwise) to ask for, require, demand, receive, compound and
give acquittance for any and all monies and claims for monies (in each case
including insurance and requisition proceeds) due and to become due under or
arising out of the Indenture Agreements, and all other property which now or
hereafter constitutes part of the Collateral, to endorse any checks or other
instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or to
take
any action or to institute any proceedings which the Mortgagee may deem to
be
necessary or advisable in the premises; provided
that the
Mortgagee shall not exercise any such rights except upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder.
The
Owner
agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of
the
Mortgagee, the Owner will promptly and duly execute and deliver or cause to
be
duly executed and delivered any and all such further instruments and documents
(including without limitation UCC continuation statements) as the Mortgagee
may
reasonably deem necessary to perfect, preserve or protect the mortgage, security
interests and assignments created or intended to be created hereby or to obtain

AIRLINES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Owner”), hereby promises to pay to
[__________________], or the registered assignee thereof, the principal sum
of
$[____________] (the “Original Amount”), together with interest on the amount of
the Original Amount remaining unpaid from time to time from the date hereof
until paid in full at a rate per annum for each Interest Period equal to the
Debt Rate for such Interest Period (calculated on the basis of a year of 360
days and actual days elapsed during the period for which such amount accrues).
The Original Amount of this Equipment Note shall be paid in full on June 2,
2013. Accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable in quarterly
installments commencing on September 2, 2006, and thereafter on December 2,
March 2, June 2 and September 2 of each year, to and including June 2, 2013.
Interest shall be payable with respect to the first but not the last day of
each

Equipment Note shall be in an amount sufficient to discharge in full the unpaid
Original Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on, and any other amounts
due under, this Equipment Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if any date on which a payment under this Equipment Note
becomes due and payable is not a Business Day, then such payment shall not
be
made on such scheduled date but shall be made on the next succeeding Business
Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest
payable.
For
purposes hereof, the term “Trust Indenture” means the Trust Indenture and
Mortgage, dated as of June 9, 2006, between the Owner and Wilmington Trust
Company (the “Mortgagee”), as the same may be amended or supplemented from time
to time. All other capitalized terms used in this Equipment Note and not defined
herein shall have the respective meanings assigned in the Trust
Indenture.
This
Equipment Note shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Payment Due Rate
(calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed during
the period for which such amount accrues) on any overdue payment of all or
a
portion of the Original Amount and (to the extent permitted by applicable Law)
any overdue interest and any other amounts
payable
hereunder which are overdue, in each case for the period the same is overdue.

transfers and exchanges of Equipment Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of
the
Mortgagee or at the office of any successor in the manner provided in Section
2.07 of the Trust Indenture.
The

in
Dollars in immediately available funds at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Mortgagee, or as otherwise provided in the Trust Indenture. Each such payment
shall be made on the date such payment is due and without any presentment or
surrender of this Equipment Note, except that in the case of any final payment
with respect to this Equipment Note, the Equipment Note shall be surrendered
promptly thereafter to the Mortgagee for cancellation.
The

as
provided in the Trust Indenture, each payment of all or a portion of the
Original Amount, interest, Break Amount, if any, and Premium, if any, received
by it hereunder shall be applied, first,

payment of Break Amount, if any, with respect to this Equipment Note,
second,

payment of accrued interest on this Equipment Note (as well as any interest
on
any overdue payment of all or a portion of the Original Amount, any overdue
Break Amount and Premium, if any, or, to the extent permitted by Law, any
overdue interest and other amounts hereunder) to the date of such payment,
third,
to the
payment of all or the portion of the Original Amount of this Equipment Note
then

to the
payment of Premium, if any, and any other amount due hereunder or under the
Trust Indenture, and fifth,

of
this Equipment Note remaining unpaid.

complete statement of the rights and obligations of the holder of, and the
nature and extent of the security for, this Equipment Note and the rights and
obligations of the holders of, and the nature and extent of the security for,
any other Equipment Notes executed and delivered under the Trust Indenture,
as
well as for a statement of the terms and conditions of the Trust created by

The
Equipment Notes shall be dated the Closing Date, shall be issued in two separate
series consisting of Series G and Series B in the principal amount of the
related secured loan as set forth in Section 2.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement.
On the Closing Date, a Series G Equipment Note and a Series B Equipment Note
shall be issued to the Subordination Agent on behalf of the applicable Pass
Through Trustee under the Pass Through Trust Agreement. The Equipment Notes
shall be issued in registered form only. The Equipment Notes shall be issued
in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, except that one
Equipment Note of each Series may be in an amount that is not an integral
multiple of $1,000.
Each
Equipment Note shall bear interest on the unpaid Original Amount thereof from
time to time outstanding from the date thereof until paid in full at the rate
per annum for each Interest Period equal to the Debt Rate for such Interest
Period (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed
during the period for which such amount accrues). Accrued interest shall be
payable in arrears on September 2, 2006, and on each December 2, March 2, June
2
and September 2 thereafter until maturity. Interest on the Equipment Notes
shall
be payable with respect to the first but not the last day of each Interest
Period. The Original Amount of the Equipment Notes of each Series shall be
paid
in full on June 2, 2013. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment made
under each Equipment Note shall be in an amount sufficient to discharge in
full
the unpaid Original Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on, and any
other
amounts due under, such Equipment Note. Each Equipment Note shall bear interest,
payable on demand, at the Payment Due Rate (calculated on the basis of a year
of
360 days and actual days elapsed during the period for which such amount
accrues) on any part of the Original Amount, and, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, interest and any other amounts payable thereunder not paid
when
due for any period during which the same shall be overdue, in each case for
the
period the same is overdue. Amounts under any Equipment Note shall be overdue
if
not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any date on which
a payment under any Equipment Note becomes due and payable is not a Business
Day
then such payment shall not be made on such scheduled date but shall be made
on
the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included
in the computation of interest payable thereunder.
The
Owner
agrees to pay to the Mortgagee for distribution in accordance with Section
3.04
hereof: (a)(i) an amount equal to the fees payable to the Primary Liquidity
Provider under Section 2.03 of the Primary Liquidity Facility and the related
Fee Letter (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement); (ii) the amount equal
to
interest on any Downgrade Advance (other than any Applied Downgrade Advance)
payable under Section 3.07 of the Primary Liquidity Facility minus Investment
Earnings from such Downgrade Advance; (iii) the amount equal to interest on
any
Non-Extension Advance (other than any Applied Non-Extension Advance) payable
under Section 3.07 of the Primary Liquidity Facility minus Investment Earnings
from such Non-Extension Advance; (iv) if any payment default shall have occurred
and be continuing with respect to interest on any Series G Equipment Notes,
the
excess, if any, of (1) an amount equal to interest on any Unpaid Advance,
Applied Downgrade Advance or Applied Non-Extension Advance payable under Section
3.07 of the Primary Liquidity Facility (or, if the
Policy
Provider has made a payment equivalent to such an Advance, as would have been
payable under Section 3.07 of the Primary Liquidity Facility had such Advance
been made) over (2) the sum of Investment Earnings from any Final Advance plus
any amount of interest at the Payment Due Rate actually payable (whether or
not
in fact paid) by Owner on the overdue scheduled interest on the Series G
Equipment Notes; (v) any other amounts owed to the Primary Liquidity
Provider by the Subordination Agent as borrower under the Primary Liquidity
Facility other than amounts due as repayment of advances thereunder or as
interest on such advances, except to the extent payable pursuant to clause
(ii),
(iii) or (iv) above; and (vi) an amount equal to the fees payable to the
Policy Provider under Section 3.02 of the Policy Provider Agreement and all
other compensation and reimbursement of expenses and disbursements (but
excluding reimbursement of advances) payable to the Policy Provider under the
Policy Provider Agreement (but excluding all such amounts actually paid by
the
Owner to the Policy Provider under the Policy Provider Agreement), (b) all
compensation and reimbursement of expenses, disbursements and advances payable
by Owner under the Pass Through Trust Agreements, and (c) all compensation
and
reimbursement of expenses and disbursements payable to the Subordination Agent
under the Intercreditor Agreement except with respect to any income or franchise
taxes incurred by the Subordination Agent in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph,
the
terms “Applied Downgrade Advance”, “Applied Non-Extension Advance”, “Downgrade
Advance”, “Final Advance”, “Investment Earnings”, “Non-Extension Advance” and
“Unpaid Advance” shall have the meanings specified in the Primary Liquidity
Facility.
The
Equipment Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Owner by one of its
authorized officers. Equipment Notes bearing the signatures of individuals
who
were at any time the proper officers of the Owner shall bind the Owner,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Equipment Notes or
did
not hold such offices at the respective dates of such Equipment Notes. The
Owner
may from time to time execute and deliver Equipment Notes to the Mortgagee
for
authentication upon original issue and such Equipment Notes shall thereupon
be
authenticated and delivered by the Mortgagee upon the written request of the
Owner signed by an authorized officer of the Owner. No Equipment Note shall
be
secured by or entitled to any benefit under this Trust Indenture or be valid
or
obligatory for any purposes, unless there appears on such Equipment Note a
certificate of authentication in the form provided for herein executed by the
Mortgagee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers and such
certificate upon any Equipment Notes be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Equipment Note has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder.
The
aggregate Original Amount of the Equipment Notes issued hereunder shall not
exceed the sum of the amounts set forth in Section 2.1(a) and (b) of the Note
Purchase Agreement.
(a) Each
payment of the Original Amount of, interest on, Break Amount, if any, Premium,
if any, and other amounts due under each Equipment Note or hereunder will be
payable in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later
than 11:30 AM, New York time, on the due date of payment to the Mortgagee at
the
Corporate Trust Office for distribution among the Note Holders in the manner
provided herein. The Owner shall not have any responsibility for the
distribution of such payment to any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing
or any provision in any Equipment Note to the contrary, the Mortgagee will
use
reasonable efforts to pay or cause to be paid, if so directed in writing by
any
Note Holder (with a copy to the Owner), all amounts paid by the Owner hereunder
and under such holder’s Equipment Note or Equipment Notes to such holder or a
nominee therefor (including all amounts distributed pursuant to Article III
of
this Trust Indenture) by transferring, or causing to be transferred, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars, prior to 2:00 p.m., New
York
City time, on the due date of payment, to an account maintained by such holder
with a bank located in the continental United States the amount to be
distributed to such holder, for credit to the account of such holder maintained
at such bank. If the Mortgagee shall fail to make any such payment as provided
in the immediately foregoing sentence after its receipt of funds at the place
and prior to the time specified above, the Mortgagee, in its individual capacity
and not as trustee, agrees to compensate such holders for loss of use of funds
at Debt Rate until such payment is made and the Mortgagee shall be entitled
to
any interest earned on such funds until such payment is made. Any payment made
hereunder shall be made without any presentment or surrender of any Equipment
Note, except that, in the case of the final payment in respect of any Equipment
Note, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Mortgagee for cancellation
promptly after such payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust
Indenture to the contrary, the Mortgagee shall not be required to make, or
cause
to be made, wire transfers as aforesaid prior to the first Business Day on
which
it is practicable for the Mortgagee to do so in view of the time of day when
the
funds to be so transferred were received by it if such funds were received
after
11:30 AM, New York time, at the place of payment. Prior to the due
presentment for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note, the Owner and
the Mortgagee shall deem and treat the Person in whose name any Equipment Note
is registered on the Equipment Note Register as the absolute owner and holder
of
such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable
with respect to such Equipment Note and for all other purposes, and none of
the
Owner or the Mortgagee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. So
long
as any signatory to the Note Purchase Agreement or nominee thereof shall be
a
registered Note Holder, all payments to it shall be made to the account of
such
Note Holder specified in Schedule 1 thereto and otherwise in the manner provided
in or pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement unless it shall have specified
some other account or manner of payment by notice to the Mortgagee consistent
with this Section 2.04.
(b) The
Mortgagee, as agent for the Owner, shall exclude and withhold at the appropriate
rate from each payment of all or a portion of the Original Amount of, interest
on, Break Amount, if any, Premium, if any, and other amounts due hereunder
or
under each Equipment Note (and such exclusion and withholding shall constitute
payment in respect of such
Equipment
Note) any and all United States withholding taxes applicable thereto as required
by Law. The Mortgagee agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection
therewith, whenever any present or future United States taxes or similar charges
are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable hereunder or
in
respect of the Equipment Notes, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the
same
to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Note Holders,
that it will file any necessary United States withholding tax returns or
statements when due, and that as promptly as possible after the payment thereof
it will deliver to each Note Holder (with a copy to the Owner) appropriate
receipts showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary
evidence as any such Note Holder may reasonably request from time to
time.
If
a Note
Holder which is a Non-U.S. Person has furnished to the Mortgagee a properly
completed, accurate and currently effective U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN (or such successor form or forms as may be required by the United States
Treasury Department) that is valid and in effect on the date on which the
payment hereunder or under the Equipment Note(s) held by such holder is made
and
has not notified the Mortgagee of the withdrawal or inaccuracy of such form
prior to the date of such payment (and the Mortgagee has no reason to believe
that any information set forth in such form is inaccurate), the Mortgagee shall
withhold only the amount, if any, required by Law (after taking into account
any
applicable exemptions properly claimed by the Note Holder) to be withheld from
payments hereunder or under the Equipment Notes held by such holder in respect
of United States federal income tax. If a Note Holder (x) which is a Non-U.S.
Person has furnished to the Mortgagee a properly completed, accurate and
currently effective U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI in duplicate
(or
such successor certificate, form or forms as may be required by the United
States Treasury Department as necessary in order to properly avoid withholding
of United States federal income tax), in the calendar year in which a payment
is
made (but prior to the making of any payment for such year) or either of the
two
preceding calendar years, and has not notified the Mortgagee of the withdrawal
or inaccuracy of such certificate or form prior to the date of such payment
(and
the Mortgagee has no reason to believe that any information set forth in such
form is inaccurate) or (y) which is a U.S. Person has furnished to the Mortgagee
a properly completed, accurate and currently effective U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Form W-9, if applicable, prior to a payment hereunder or under the
Equipment Notes held by such holder, no amount shall be withheld from payments
in respect of United States federal income tax. If any Note Holder has notified
the Mortgagee that any of the foregoing forms or certificates is withdrawn
or
inaccurate, or if such holder has not filed a form claiming an exemption from
United States withholding tax or if the Code or the regulations thereunder
or
the administrative interpretation thereof is at any time after the date hereof
amended to require such withholding of United States federal income taxes from
payments under the Equipment Notes held by such holder, the Mortgagee agrees
to
withhold from each payment due to the relevant Note Holder withholding taxes
at
the appropriate rate under Law and will, on a timely basis as more fully
provided above, deposit such amounts with an authorized depository and make
such
returns, statements, receipts and other documentary evidence in connection
therewith as required by Law.
Owner
shall not have any liability for the failure of the Mortgagee to withhold taxes
in the manner provided for herein or for any false, inaccurate or untrue
evidence provided by any Note Holder hereunder.
In
the
case of each Equipment Note, each payment of all or a portion of the Original
Amount, Break Amount, if any, Premium, if any, and interest due thereon shall
be
applied:
First:
to
the payment of Break Amount, if any, with respect to such Equipment Note and
any
other amount (other than as covered by any of the following clauses) due
hereunder or under such Equipment Note;
Second:
to the payment of accrued interest on such Equipment Note (as well as any
interest on any overdue payment of all or a portion of the Original Amount,
any
overdue Premium, if any, and to the extent permitted by Law, any overdue
interest and any other overdue amounts thereunder) to the date of such payment;
Third:
to
the payment of the Original Amount of such Equipment Note (or a portion thereof)
then due thereunder;
Fourth:
to the payment of Premium, if any, and any other amount due hereunder or under
such Equipment Note; and
Fifth:
the balance, if any, remaining thereafter, to the payment of the Original Amount
of such Equipment Note remaining unpaid (provided that such Equipment Note
shall
not be subject to redemption except as provided in Sections 2.11 and 2.12
hereof).
No
Note
Holder nor any other Indenture Indemnitee shall, as such, have any further
interest in, or other right with respect to, the Collateral when and if the
Original Amount of, Break Amount, if any, Premium, if any, and interest on
and
other amounts due under all Equipment Notes held by such Note Holder and all
other sums then due and payable to such Note Holder, such Indenture Indemnitee
or the Mortgagee hereunder (including, without limitation, under the third
paragraph of Section 2.02 hereof) and under the other Operative Agreements
by
the Owner (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”) shall have been paid in
full.
SECTION
2.07. Registration Transfer and Exchange
of Equipment Notes
The
Mortgagee shall keep a register (the “Equipment Note Register”) in which the
Mortgagee shall provide for the registration of Equipment Notes and the
registration of transfers of Equipment Notes. No such transfer shall be given
effect unless and until registration hereunder shall have occurred. The
Equipment Note Register shall be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Mortgagee. The Mortgagee is hereby appointed “Equipment Note Registrar” for the
purpose of registering Equipment Notes and transfers of Equipment Notes as
herein provided. A holder of any Equipment Note intending to exchange such
Equipment Note shall surrender such Equipment Note to the Mortgagee at the
Corporate Trust Office, together with a written request from the registered
holder thereof for the issuance of a new Equipment Note, specifying, in the
case
of a surrender for transfer, the name and address of the new holder or
holders.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Equipment Note, the Owner
shall execute, and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name
of
the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Equipment Notes of
a
like aggregate Original Amount and of the same series. At the option of the
Note
Holder, Equipment Notes may be exchanged for other Equipment Notes of any
authorized denominations of a like aggregate Original Amount, upon surrender
of
the Equipment Notes to be exchanged to the Mortgagee at the Corporate Trust
Office. Whenever any Equipment Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Owner
shall execute, and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver, the Equipment
Notes which the Note Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All
Equipment Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Equipment Notes (whether under this Section 2.07 or under Section 2.08 hereof
or
otherwise under this Trust Indenture) shall be the valid obligations of the
Owner evidencing the same respective obligations, and entitled to the same
security and benefits under this Trust Indenture, as the Equipment Notes
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Equipment
Note
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, shall (if so required
by
the Mortgagee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument
of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Mortgagee duly executed by the Note Holder
or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Mortgagee shall
require evidence satisfactory to it as to the compliance of any such transfer
with the Securities Act, and the securities Laws of any applicable state. The
Mortgagee shall make a notation on each new Equipment Note of the amount of
all
payments of any portion of the Original Amount previously made on the old
Equipment Note or Equipment Notes with respect to which such new Equipment
Note
is issued and the date to which interest on such old Equipment Note or Equipment
Notes has been paid. Interest shall be deemed to have been paid on such new
Equipment Note to the date on which interest shall have been paid on such old
Equipment Note, and all payments of any portion of the Original Amount marked
on
such new Equipment Note, as provided above, shall be deemed to have been made
thereon. The Owner shall not be required to exchange any surrendered Equipment
Notes as provided above during the ten-day period preceding the due date of
any
payment on such Equipment Note. The Owner shall in all cases deem the Person
in
whose name any Equipment Note shall have been issued and registered as the
absolute owner and holder of such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving
payment of all amounts payable by the Owner with respect to such Equipment
Note
and for all purposes until a notice stating otherwise is received from the
Mortgagee and such change is reflected on the Equipment Note Register. The
Mortgagee will promptly notify the Owner of each registration of a transfer
of
an Equipment Note. Any such transferee of an Equipment Note, by its acceptance
of an Equipment Note, agrees to the provisions of this Trust Indenture and
the
Note Purchase Agreement applicable to Note Holders, including Sections 6.3,
6.4
and 9.1 thereof and shall be deemed to have covenanted to the parties to the
Note Purchase Agreement as to the matters covenanted by the original Note Holder
in the Note Purchase Agreement. Subject to compliance by the Note Holder and
its
transferee (if any) of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.07,
Mortgagee and Owner shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment
Notes upon transfer or exchange within 10 Business Days of the date an Equipment
Note is surrendered for transfer or exchange.
SECTION
2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or
Stolen Equipment Notes
If
any
Equipment Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Owner
shall, upon the written request of the holder of such Equipment Note, execute
and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver in replacement thereof a new
Equipment Note, payable in the same Original Amount dated the same date. If
the
Equipment Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Equipment Note shall
be
surrendered to the Mortgagee and a photocopy thereof shall be furnished to
the
Owner. If the Equipment Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen,
the holder of such Equipment Note shall furnish to the Owner and the Mortgagee
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Owner and
the
Mortgagee harmless and evidence satisfactory to the Owner and the Mortgagee
of
the destruction, loss or theft of such Equipment Note and of the ownership
thereof. If a “qualified institutional buyer” of the type referred to in
paragraph (a)(1)(i)(A), (B), (D) or (E) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act
(a
“QIB”) is the holder of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Equipment Note, then
the written indemnity of such QIB, signed by an authorized officer thereof,
in
favor of, delivered to and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Owner shall
be
accepted as satisfactory indemnity and security and no further indemnity or
security shall be required as a condition to the execution and delivery of
such
new Equipment Note. Subject to compliance by the Note Holder with the
requirements set forth in this Section 2.08, Mortgagee and Owner shall use
all
reasonable efforts to issue new Equipment Notes within 10 Business Days of
the
date of the written request therefor from the Note Holder.
(a) No
service charge shall be made to a Note Holder for any registration of transfer
or exchange of Equipment Notes, but the Mortgagee, as Equipment Note Registrar,
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer
or
exchange of Equipment Notes.
(b) The
Mortgagee shall cancel all Equipment Notes surrendered for replacement,
redemption, transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall destroy the
canceled Equipment Notes.
The
Equipment Notes of either Series may be redeemed in accordance with Section
2.12
below at any time in whole or (so long as no Payment Default has occurred and
is
continuing) in part by the Owner at its sole option (an “Optional Redemption”)
(except that no Equipment Note may be redeemed by the Owner prior to the third
anniversary of the Issuance Date (other than in connection with a redemption
to
satisfy the Collateral Ratio or the Subordinated Collateral Ratio as provided
in
Section 3.1(a)(v) of the Collateral Maintenance Agreement, the Rotable Ratio
as
provided in Section 3.1(b)(iii) of the Collateral Maintenance Agreement or
the
fleet reduction covenant provided in Section 3.3 of the Collateral Maintenance
Agreement)) at a redemption price equal to the sum of the Original Amount (or
portion thereof)
subject
to such Optional Redemption and accrued and unpaid interest on, and Premium,
if
any, and Break Amount, if any, with respect to, such Original Amount.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Series G Equipment Notes and
the Policy Provider Obligations have not been paid in full, the Owner shall
not
make an Optional Redemption of any Series B Equipment Notes (i) if an
Event of Default or failure by Owner to pay any amount of principal of or
interest on any Equipment Note when due has occurred and is continuing as of
the
applicable redemption date or (ii) unless (x) the Owner shall have
furnished to the Mortgagee (and, if the Policy Provider is then the Controlling
Party, to the Policy Provider) within 60 days prior to the redemption date
a certificate of an Officer certifying that, based upon the Pledged Spare Parts
included in the Collateral determined as of a date within 10 days prior to
the date of such certificate valued using the Appraised Value of such Pledged
Spare Parts (but without requiring a new Independent Appraiser’s Certificate),
the Collateral Ratio does not exceed the Maximum Collateral Ratio (after giving
effect to any scheduled redemption of Equipment Notes on such redemption date)
or (y) the Series G Equipment Notes shall be redeemed in whole simultaneously
with the Optional Redemption of the Series B Equipment Notes, provided
that the
Controlling Party may, in its sole discretion, waive compliance with the
requirements of this sentence.
(a) No
redemption of any Equipment Note may be made except to the extent and in the
manner expressly permitted by this Trust Indenture. No purchase of any Equipment
Note may be made by the Mortgagee.
(b) Notice
of
redemption with respect to the Equipment Notes shall be given by the Mortgagee
by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 20 nor more than
60
days prior to the applicable redemption date, to each Note Holder of such
Equipment Notes to be redeemed, at such Note Holder’s address appearing in the
Equipment Note Register; provided that such notice shall be revocable by written
notice from the Owner to the Policy Provider and Mortgagee given not later
than
three Business Days prior to the redemption date. All notices of redemption
shall state: (1) the redemption date, (2) the applicable basis for determining
the redemption price, (3) that on the redemption date, the redemption price
will
become due and payable upon each such Equipment Note, and that, if any such
Equipment Notes are then outstanding, interest on such Equipment Notes shall
cease to accrue on and after such redemption date, and (4) the place or places
where such Equipment Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption
price. The Mortgagee shall promptly provide a copy of any such notice to the
Policy Provider.
(c) On
or
before the redemption date, the Owner (or any person on behalf of the Owner)
shall, to the extent an amount equal to the redemption price for the Equipment
Notes to be redeemed on the redemption date shall not then be held by the
Mortgagee, deposit or cause to be deposited with the Mortgagee by 11:30 AM
New
York time on the redemption date in immediately available funds the redemption
price of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed, together with all amounts required
to be paid by Owner referred to in Clause “First” of
Section 3.02.
(d) Notice
of
redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Equipment Notes to be redeemed
shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Mortgagee or at any office or agency maintained for such purposes
pursuant to Section 2.07, and from and after such redemption date (unless there
shall be a default in the payment of the redemption price) any such Equipment
Notes then outstanding shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any
such
Equipment Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Equipment
Note shall be redeemed at the redemption price. If any Equipment Note called
for
redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the
principal amount thereof shall, until paid, continue to bear interest from
the
applicable redemption date at the interest rate in effect for such Equipment
Note as of such redemption date.
(a) The
Owner
and each Note Holder (by acceptance of its Equipment Notes of any Series),
hereby agree that no payment or distribution shall be made on or in respect
of
the Secured Obligations owed to such Note Holder of such Series, including
any
payment or distribution of cash, property or securities after the commencement
of a proceeding of the type referred to in Section 5.01(v), (vi) or (vii)
hereof, except as expressly provided in Article III hereof.
(b) By
the
acceptance of its Series B Equipment Notes, each Note Holder of such Series
agrees that in the event that such Note Holder, in its capacity as a Note
Holder, shall receive any payment or distribution on any Secured Obligations
in
respect of such Series which it is not entitled to receive under this Section
2.13 or Article III hereof, it will hold any amount so received in trust for
the
Note Holders of the Series G Equipment Notes and will forthwith turn over
such payment to the Mortgagee in the form received to be applied as provided
in
Article III hereof.

after
giving effect to paragraph (i) above, so much of such payment remaining

Holders and the other Indenture Indemnitees under this Trust Indenture,
the Note Purchase Agreement or the Equipment Notes (other than amounts
specified in clause Second below);
|
Second,
|
(i)
|
so
much of such payment as shall be required to pay in full the aggregate

|
Third, |
|
as
provided in clause “Fourth” of Section 3.03
hereof.
|
Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 3.04 hereof, all payments received and amounts
held or realized by the Mortgagee (including any amounts realized by the
Mortgagee from the exercise of any remedies pursuant to Article V hereof) after
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and after the
declaration specified in Section 5.02(b) hereof, as well as all payments or
amounts then held by the Mortgagee as part of the Collateral, shall be promptly
distributed by the Mortgagee in the following order of priority:
First,
|
|
so
much of such payments or amounts as shall be required to (i) reimburse
the
Mortgagee or WTC for any tax (except to the extent resulting from
a
failure of the Mortgagee to withhold taxes pursuant to Section 2.04(b)
hereof), expense or other loss (including, without limitation, all
amounts
to be expended at the expense of, or charged upon the rents, revenues,
issues, products and profits of, the property included in the Collateral
(all such property being herein called the “Mortgaged Property”) pursuant
to Section 5.03(b) hereof) incurred by the Mortgagee or WTC (to the
extent not previously reimbursed), the expenses of any sale, or other
proceeding, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs, and any
other expenditures incurred or expenditures or advances made by the
Mortgagee, WTC or the Note Holders in the protection, exercise or
enforcement of any right, power or remedy or any damages sustained
by the
Mortgagee, WTC or any Note Holder, liquidated or otherwise, upon

to
reimbursement under any Operative Agreement and (ii) pay all Secured
Obligations payable to the other Indenture Indemnitees hereunder
and under
the Note Purchase Agreement (other than amounts specified in clauses

distributed is insufficient to pay as aforesaid in clauses (i) and
(ii),
then ratably, without priority of one over the other, in proportion
to the
amounts owed each hereunder;
|
Second,
|
|
so
much of such payments or amounts remaining as shall be required to
reimburse the then existing or prior Note Holders for payments made
pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof (to the extent not previously
reimbursed) shall be distributed to such then existing or prior Note
Holders ratably, without priority of one over the other, in accordance

Secured Obligations in
|
|
|
respect
of the Series G Equipment Notes (other than Premium) to the date
of
distribution, shall be distributed to the Note Holders of Series

case the aggregate amount so to be distributed shall be insufficient

unpaid interest and other amounts due thereon (other than Premium
which
shall not be due and payable), and Break Amount, if any, with respect
to
the Series B Equipment Notes, and all other Secured Obligations in
respect of the Series B Equipment Notes (other than Premium) to the
date of distribution, shall be distributed to the Note Holders of
Series B, and in case the aggregate amount so to be distributed shall
be insufficient to pay in full as aforesaid, then ratably, without
priority of one over the other, in the proportion that the aggregate
unpaid Original Amount of all Series B Equipment Notes held by each
holder plus the accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts due

Equipment Notes held by all such holders plus the accrued but unpaid
interest and other amounts due thereon (other than Premium) to the
date of
distribution;
|
Fourth,
|
|
the
balance, if any, of such payments or amounts remaining thereafter
shall be
distributed to the Owner.
|
No
Premium shall be due and payable on the Equipment Notes as a consequence of
the
acceleration of the Equipment Notes as a result of an Event of
Default.
(a) Any
payments received by the Mortgagee for which no provision as to the application
thereof is made in this Trust Indenture and for which such provision is made
in
any other Operative Agreement shall be applied forthwith to the purpose for
which such payment was made in accordance with the terms of such other Operative
Agreement, as the case may be.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Article III, the Mortgagee will
distribute promptly upon receipt any indemnity payment received by it from
the
Owner in respect of the Mortgagee in its individual capacity, any Note Holder
or
any other Indenture Indemnitee, in each case whether or not pursuant to Section
8 of the Note
Purchase
Agreement, directly to the Person entitled thereto. Any payment received by
the
Mortgagee under the third paragraph of Section 2.02 hereof shall be distributed
to the Subordination Agent in its capacity as Note Holder to be distributed
in
accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.
Any
payments received by the Mortgagee for which no provision as to the application
thereof is made elsewhere in this Trust Indenture or in any other Operative
Agreement shall be distributed by the Mortgagee to the extent received or
realized at any time, in the order of priority specified in Section 3.01 hereof,
and after payment in full of all amounts then due in accordance with
Section 3.01 in the manner provided in clause “Fourth” of Section 3.03
hereof.
(a) Upon
written request by the Owner to the Mortgagee after notice of redemption of
Equipment Notes has been given to Note Holders pursuant to Section 2.12 of
this
Trust Indenture, the Mortgagee shall apply, to the extent specified in such
written request, the Cash Collateral to pay amounts due with respect to the
Equipment Notes to be redeemed on the applicable redemption date.
(b) If
the
Collateral Ratio is less than the Maximum Collateral Ratio, the Subordinated
Collateral Ratio is less than the Maximum Subordinated Collateral Ratio and
the
Rotable Ratio is greater than the Minimum Rotable Ratio, in each case as most
recently determined pursuant to Article 2 or Section 3.1
of
the Collateral Maintenance Agreement, and the Mortgagee held any Cash Collateral
as of the Valuation Date for such Collateral Ratio, Subordinated Collateral
Ratio and Rotable Ratio (or subsequent date as of which such ratio was
recalculated pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Collateral Maintenance Agreement),
upon written request of the Owner and so long as no Event of Default or Special
Default has occurred and is continuing the Mortgagee shall pay to the Owner
an
amount of the Cash Collateral such that the Collateral Ratio would not be
greater than the Maximum Collateral Ratio, the Subordinated Collateral Ratio
would not be greater than the Maximum Subordinated Collateral Ratio and the
Rotable Ratio would not be less than the Minimum Rotable Ratio, giving effect
to
such payment (but otherwise using the information used as of such most recent
determination date to determine such ratio).
WTC
agrees to act as an Eligible Institution under the Trust Indenture in accordance
with the provisions of the Trust Indenture (in such capacity, the “Securities
Intermediary”) for the purpose of holding any Cash Collateral. Except in its
capacity as Mortgagee, WTC waives any claim or lien against any Eligible Account
it may have, by operation of law or otherwise, for any amount owed to it by
Owner. The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the Trust Indenture, (i) any amounts of Cash Collateral
to be
held by the Mortgagee and any investment earnings thereon or other Investment
Securities will be credited to an Eligible Account (the “Securities Account”)
for
which
it
is a “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the NY
UCC) and the Mortgagee is the “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section
8-102(a)(7) of the NY UCC) of the “securities entitlement” (as defined in
Section 8-102(a)(17) of the NY UCC) with respect to each “financial asset” (as
defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the NY UCC) credited to such Eligible Account,
(ii) all such amounts, Investment Securities and all other property acquired
with cash credited to the Securities Account will be credited to the Securities
Account, (iii) all items of property (whether cash, investment property,
Investment Securities, other investments, securities, instruments or other
property) credited to the Securities Account will be treated as a “financial
asset” under Article 8 of the NY UCC, (iv) its “securities intermediary’s
jurisdiction” (as defined in Section 8-110(e) of the NY UCC) with respect to the
Securities Account is the State of New York, and (v) all securities, instruments
and other property in order or registered from and credited to the Securities
Account shall be payable to or to the order of, or registered in the name of,
the Securities Intermediary or shall be indorsed to the Securities Intermediary
or in blank, and in no case whatsoever shall any financial asset credited to
the
Securities Account be registered in the name of the Owner, payable to or to
the
order of the Owner or specially indorsed to the Owner except to the extent
the
foregoing have been specially endorsed by the Owner to the Securities
Intermediary or endorsed in blank. The Mortgagee agrees that it will hold (and
will indicate clearly in its books and records that it holds) its “securities
entitlement” to the “financial assets” credited to the Securities Account in
trust for the benefit of the Note Holders and each of the Indenture Indemnitees
as set forth in the Trust Indenture. The Owner acknowledges that, by reason
of
the Mortgagee being the “entitlement holder” in respect of the Securities
Account as provided above, the Mortgagee shall have the sole right and
discretion, subject only to the terms of the Trust Indenture, to give all
“entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the NY UCC) with
respect to the Securities Account and any and all financial assets and other
property credited thereto to the exclusion of the Owner; provided,
however,
in no
event shall the consent of the Owner be required as a condition to WTC complying
with any such entitlement order of the Mortgagee.
COVENANTS
The
Owner
will give Mortgagee timely written notice (but in any event within 30 days
prior
to the expiration of the period of time specified under applicable Law to
prevent lapse of perfection) of any change in its location (as such term is
used
in Section 9-307 of the UCC) or legal name and will promptly take any
action required by Section 4.06 hereof as a result of such
relocation.
The
Owner
will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
Lien on or with respect to the Collateral, title to any of the foregoing or
any
interest of the Owner therein, except Permitted Liens. The Owner shall promptly,
at its own expense, take such
action
as
may be necessary to duly discharge (by bonding or otherwise) any such Lien
other
than a Permitted Lien arising at any time.
The
Owner, at its own cost and expense:
(a) shall
maintain, or cause to be maintained, at all times the Pledged Spare Parts in
accordance with all applicable Laws issued by the FAA or any other Governmental
Entity having jurisdiction over the Owner or any such Pledged Spare Parts,
including making any modifications, alterations, replacements and additions
necessary therefor, and shall utilize, or cause to be utilized, the same manner
and standard of maintenance with respect to each model of Spare Part or
Appliance included in the Pledged Spare Parts as is utilized for such model
of
Spare Part or Appliance owned by the Owner and not included in the Pledged
Spare
Parts;
(b) shall
maintain, or cause to be maintained, all records, logs and other materials
required by the FAA or under the Act to be maintained in respect of the Pledged
Spare Parts and shall not modify its record retention procedures in respect
of
the Pledged Spare Parts if such modification would materially diminish the
value
of the Pledged Spare Parts, taken as a whole; and
(c) shall
maintain, or cause to be maintained, the Pledged Spare Parts in good working
order and condition and shall perform all maintenance thereon necessary for
that
purpose, excluding (i) Pledged Spare Parts that have become worn out or unfit
for use and not reasonably repairable or become obsolete, (ii) Pledged Spare
Parts that are not required for the Owner’s normal operations and (iii)
Expendables that have been consumed or used in the Owner’s
operations.
(d) shall
maintain, or cause to be maintained, all Spare Parts Documents in respect of
the
Pledged Spare Parts in the English language.
(a) Subject
to the terms of the Collateral Maintenance Agreement, the Owner shall have
the
right, at any time and from time to time at its own cost and expense, without
any release from or consent by the Mortgagee, to deal with the Pledged Spare
Parts in any manner consistent with the Owner’s ordinary course of business,
including without limitation any of the following:
(i) to
incorporate in, install on, attach or make appurtenant to, or use in, any
Aircraft, Engine or Qualified Spare Part leased to or owned by the Owner
(whether or not subject to any Lien) any Pledged Spare Part, free from the
Lien
of this Trust Indenture;
(ii) to
dismantle any Pledged Spare Part that has become worn out or obsolete or unfit
for use, and to sell or dispose of any such Pledged
Spare
Part or any salvage resulting from such dismantling, free from the Lien of
this
Trust Indenture; and
(iii) to
transfer any or all of the Pledged Spare Parts located at one or more Designated
Locations to one or more other Designated Locations or to one or more locations
which are not Designated Locations.
(b) The
Owner
shall
keep the
Pledged Spare Parts at one or more of the Designated Locations, except as
otherwise permitted under Sections 4.04(a)
or 4.05 of this Trust Indenture or the Collateral Maintenance
Agreement.
If and
whenever the Owner shall wish to add a location as a Designated Location, the
Owner will furnish to the Mortgagee the following:
(i) a
Trust
Indenture Supplement duly executed by the Owner, identifying each location
that
is to become a Designated Location and specifically subjecting the Pledged
Spare
Parts at such location to the Lien of this Trust Indenture;
(ii) an
opinion of counsel, dated the date of execution of said Trust Indenture
Supplement, stating that said Trust Indenture Supplement has been duly filed
for
recording in accordance with the provisions of the Act, and either: (a) no
other
filing or recording is required in any other place within the United States
in
order to perfect the Lien of this Trust Indenture on the Qualified Spare Parts
held at the Designated Locations specified in such Trust Indenture Supplement
under the laws of the United States, or (b) if any such other filing or
recording shall be required that said filing or recording has been accomplished
in such other manner and places, which shall be specified in such opinion of
counsel, as are necessary to perfect the Lien of this Trust Indenture;
and
(iii) An
Officer’s Certificate stating that in the opinion of the officer executing such
Officer’s Certificate, all conditions precedent provided for in this Trust
Indenture relating to the subjection of such property to the Lien of this Trust
Indenture have been complied with.
(c) Without
the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, the Owner will not sell, lease
or
otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer or relinquish possession of any
Pledged Spare Part to anyone other than the grant of the security interest
to
the Mortgagee pursuant to this Trust Indenture, except as permitted by the
provisions of Section 3.2
of the Collateral Maintenance Agreement and Sections 4.04
and
4.05 of this Trust Indenture
and
except that the Owner shall have the right, in the ordinary course of business,
(i) to transfer possession of any Pledged Spare Part to the manufacturer thereof
or any other organization for testing, overhaul, repairs, maintenance,
alterations or modifications or to any Person for the purpose of transport
to
any of the foregoing or (ii) to subject any Pledged Spare Part to a pooling,
exchange, borrowing or maintenance servicing agreement or arrangement customary
in the airline industry and entered into by the Owner in the ordinary course
of
its business; provided,
however,
that if
the Owner’s title to any such Pledged Spare Part shall be divested under any
such agreement or
arrangement,
such divestiture shall be deemed to be a Sale with respect to such Pledged
Spare
Part subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 of the Collateral Maintenance
Agreement.
(d) So
long
as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Owner may
enter into a lease with respect to any Pledged Spare Part to any U.S. Air
Carrier that is not then subject to any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
reorganization, dissolution or similar proceeding and shall not have
substantially all of its property in the possession of any liquidator, trustee,
receiver or similar person (a “Permitted
Lessee”).
In
the case of any such lease, the Owner will include in such lease appropriate
provisions which (t) make such lease expressly subject and subordinate to all
of
the terms of this Trust Indenture, including the rights of the Mortgagee to
repossess such Pledged Spare Part and avoid such lease in the exercise of its
rights to repossession of the Pledged Spare Parts under this Trust Indenture,
and the Owner shall remain primarily liable for the performance and observance
of all of the terms of this Trust Indenture and all the terms and conditions
of
this Trust Indenture and the other Operative Agreements shall remain in effect,
in each case to the same extent as if such lease or transfer had not occurred;
(u) require the Permitted Lessee to comply with the terms of Section 4.09;
and
(v) require that the Pledged Spare Parts subject thereto be used in accordance
with the limitations applicable to the Owner’s use, possession and location of
such Pledged Spare Parts provided in this Trust Indenture (including, without
limitation, that such Pledged Spare Parts be kept at one or more Designated
Locations), it being understood that such Permitted Lessee shall be entitled
to
incorporate in, install on, attach or make appurtenant to, or use in, any
Aircraft, Engine or Appliance leased to, or owned by, such Permitted Lessee
(whether or not subject to any Lien) any Pledged Spare Part subject thereto,
free from the Lien of this Trust Indenture. No lease permitted under this
Section shall be entered into unless (w) the Owner shall provide written notice
to the Mortgagee and a copy of any such lease (promptly after entering into
any
such lease); (x) the Owner shall furnish to the Mortgagee evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Mortgagee that the insurance required by Section 4.09(a)
remains in effect; (y) all necessary documents shall have been duly filed,
registered or recorded in such public offices as may be required fully to
preserve the first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens)
of
Mortgagee in the Pledged Spare Parts; and (z) the Owner shall reimburse the
Mortgagee for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including,
without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred
by
the Mortgagee in connection with any such lease. Except as otherwise provided
herein and without in any way relieving the Owner from its primary obligation
for the performance of its obligations under this Trust Indenture and the
Collateral Maintenance Agreement, the Owner may in its sole discretion permit
a
Permitted Lessee to exercise any or all rights which the Owner would be entitled
to exercise under Article IV hereof and Section 3.2 of the Collateral
Maintenance Agreement, and may cause a Permitted Lessee to perform any or all
of
the Owner’s obligations under Article IV hereof and Section 3.2 of the
Collateral Maintenance Agreement, and the Mortgagee agrees to accept actual
and
full performance thereof by a Permitted Lessee in lieu of performance by the
Owner. No pooling agreement, permitted lease or other relinquishment of
possession of any Pledged Spare Part shall in any way discharge or diminish
any
of the Owner’s obligations under this Trust Indenture or constitute a waiver by
the Mortgagee or the Policy Provider of any rights or remedies
hereunder.
(a) So
long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Owner may sell,
transfer or dispose of Pledged Spare Parts free from the Lien of the Trust
Indenture, subject to the provisions of the Collateral Maintenance
Agreement.
(b) No
purchaser in good faith of property purporting to be transferred pursuant to
Section 4.04(a)(ii) or 4.05(a) shall be bound to ascertain or inquire into
the
authority of the Owner to make any such transfer, free and clear of the Lien
of
this Trust Indenture. Any instrument of transfer executed by the Owner under
Section 4.04(a)(ii) or 4.05 shall be sufficient for the purposes of this Trust
Indenture and shall constitute a good and valid release, assignment and transfer
of the property therein described free from the Lien of this Trust
Indenture.
(a) The
Owner
shall duly execute, acknowledge and deliver, or shall cause to be executed,
acknowledged and delivered, all such further agreements, instruments,
certificates or documents, and shall do and cause to be done such further acts
and things, in any case, as Mortgagee shall reasonably request for accomplishing
the purposes of this Trust Indenture, provided
that any
instrument or other document so executed by the Owner will not expand any
obligations or limit any rights of the Owner in respect of the transactions
contemplated by any Operative Agreement.
(b) The
Owner
shall promptly take such action with respect to the recording, filing,
re-recording and refiling of this Trust Indenture and any amendments or
supplements hereto, as shall be necessary to continue the perfection and
priority of the Lien created by this Trust Indenture.
(c) The
Owner, at its sole cost and expense, will cause the FAA Filed Documents, the
Financing Statements and all continuation statements (and any amendments
necessitated by any consolidation or merger of the Owner, any conveyance,
transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Owner, or
any
change of the Owner’s location) in respect of the Financing Statements to be
prepared and, subject only to the execution and delivery thereof by Mortgagee,
duly and timely filed and recorded, or filed for recordation, to the extent
permitted under the Act (with respect to the FAA Filed Documents) or the UCC
or
similar law of any other applicable jurisdiction (with respect to such other
documents).
(a) In
General.
Owner
shall not consolidate with or merge into any other person under circumstances
in
which Owner is not the surviving corporation, or convey, transfer or lease
in
one or more transactions all or substantially all of its assets to any other
person, unless:
(i) such
person is organized, existing and in good standing under the Laws of the United
States, any State of the United States or the District of Columbia and, upon
consummation of such transaction, such person will be a U.S. Air
Carrier;
(ii) such
person executes and delivers to Mortgagee and the Policy Provider a duly
authorized, legal, valid, binding and enforceable agreement, reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to Mortgagee and the Policy Provider,
containing an effective assumption by such person of the due and punctual
performance and observance of each covenant, agreement and condition in the
Operative Agreements and the Policy Provider Documents to which the Owner is
a
party to be performed or observed by Owner;
(iii) such
person makes such filings and recordings with the FAA as shall be necessary
to
evidence such consolidation or merger;
(iv) immediately
after giving effect to such consolidation or merger no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing; and
(v) the
Owner
shall have delivered to the Mortgagee an officers’ certificate and an opinion
(or opinions) of counsel, each stating that (a) such consolidation, merger,
conveyance, transfer or lease and such supplemental indenture comply with the
terms of this Trust Indenture and (ii) this Trust Indenture, each other
Operative Agreement and the Equipment Notes constitute the valid and legally
binding obligations of such person.
(b) Effect
of Merger.
Upon
any such consolidation or merger of Owner with or into, or the conveyance,
transfer or lease by Owner of all or substantially all of its assets to, any
Person in accordance with this Section 4.07, such Person will succeed to,
and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, Owner under
the Operative Agreements with the same effect as if such person had been named
as “Owner” therein. No such consolidation or merger, or conveyance, transfer or
lease, shall have the effect of releasing Owner or such Person from any of
the
obligations, liabilities, covenants or undertakings of Owner under this Trust
Indenture, the other Operative Agreements and the Policy Provider
Documents.
The
Owner
agrees to perform and observe all of the agreements, covenants and obligations
of the Owner set forth in this Trust Indenture, the Equipment Notes and the
other Operative Agreements (it being understood that this Section 4.08 shall
not
restrict the ability to amend or supplement, or waive compliance with, any
Operative Agreement in accordance with its terms).
(a) The
Owner’s Obligation to Insure.
(i) Obligation
to Insure.
The
Owner shall comply with, or cause to be complied with, each of the provisions
of
Annex B, which provisions are hereby incorporated by this reference as if set
forth in full herein.
(ii) Insurance
for Own Account.
Nothing
in this Section 4.09(a) shall limit or prohibit (a) the Owner from
maintaining the policies of insurance required under Annex B with higher limits
than those specified in Annex B, or (b) the Mortgagee or any Additional
Insured from obtaining insurance for its own account (and any proceeds payable
under such separate insurance shall be payable as provided in the policy
relating thereto); provided,
however,
that no
insurance may be obtained or maintained that would limit or otherwise adversely
affect the coverage of any insurance required to be obtained or maintained
by
the Owner pursuant to this Section 4.09(a) and Annex B.
(b) Application
of Insurance Proceeds.
(i) As
between the Owner and the Mortgagee, all insurance proceeds up to the Debt
Balance paid under policies required to be maintained by the Owner pursuant
to
this Trust Indenture as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss with
respect to any Pledged Spare Parts involving proceeds in excess of the Threshold
Amount will be paid to the Mortgagee. At any time or from time to time after
the
receipt by the Mortgagee of insurance proceeds, upon submission to the Mortgagee
of an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Owner has after the occurrence of
such Event of Loss purchased additional Qualified Spare Parts that are located
at or have been shipped by vendor(s) to a Designated Location, and stating
the
aggregate purchase price for such additional Qualified Spare Parts, the
Mortgagee shall pay the amount of such purchase price, up to the amount of
such
insurance proceeds not previously disbursed pursuant to this sentence or
otherwise distributed under this Trust Indenture, to the Owner or its
designee.
(ii) All
proceeds of insurance required to be maintained by the Owner in accordance
with
this Trust Indenture in respect of any property damage or loss involving
proceeds of the Threshold Amount or less or not constituting an Event of Loss
with respect to any Pledged Spare Parts and insurance proceeds in excess of
the
Debt Balance shall be paid over to, and retained by, the Owner.
(iii) If
either
the Mortgagee or the Owner receives a payment of such insurance proceeds in
excess of its entitlement pursuant to this Trust Indenture, it shall
promptly
pay such excess to the other.
(c) Application
of Payments During Existence of a Special Default or Event of
Default.
Any
amount described in this Section 4.09 that is payable or creditable to, or
retainable by, the Owner shall not be paid or credited to, or retained by,
the
Owner if at the time such payment, credit or retention would otherwise occur
a
Special Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
but
shall instead be held by or paid over to the Mortgagee as security for the
obligations of the Owner under this Trust Indenture and shall be invested
pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof. At such time as there shall not be
continuing any Special Default or Event of Default, such amount and any gains
thereon shall be paid to the Owner to the extent not previously applied in
accordance with this Trust Indenture.

of 30 days from and after the date of written notice thereof to Owner from
Mortgagee, unless such failure is capable of being corrected and Owner shall
be
diligently proceeding to correct such failure, in which case there shall be
no
Event of Default unless and until such failure shall continue unremedied for
a
period of 270 days after receipt of such notice;
(iv) any

incorrectness on the interest of the Mortgagee) for a period in excess of 30
days from and after the date of written notice thereof from Mortgagee to
Owner;
(v) the
Owner
shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, trustee
or liquidator of itself or of a substantial part of its property, or the Owner
shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they come
due
or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or the
Owner shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a voluntary petition
or

bankruptcy laws or insolvency laws (as in effect at such time), or an answer
admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such
case, or the
Owner

appointing, without the consent of the Owner, a receiver, trustee or liquidator
of the Owner or of any substantial part of its property, or any substantial
part
of the property of the Owner shall be sequestered, or granting any other relief
in respect of the Owner as a debtor under any bankruptcy laws or other
insolvency laws (as in effect at such time), and any such order, judgment,
decree, or decree of appointment or sequestration shall remain in force
undismissed, unstayed or unvacated for a period of 90 days after the date of
entry thereof;
(vii) a
petition against the Owner in a proceeding under any bankruptcy laws or other

to
the Owner, any court of competent jurisdiction shall assume jurisdiction,
custody or control of the Owner of any substantial part of its property and
such
jurisdiction, custody or control shall remain in force unrelinquished, unstayed
or unterminated for a period of 90 days; or
(viii) the
Owner
shall fail to carry and maintain, or cause to be carried and maintained,
insurance on and in respect of the Pledged Spare Parts in accordance with the

(a) If
an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and so long as the same
shall continue unremedied, then and in every such case the Mortgagee may
exercise any or all of the rights and powers and pursue any and all of the
remedies pursuant to this Article V and shall have and may exercise all of
the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and
may
take possession of all or any part of the properties covered or intended to
be
covered by the Lien created hereby or pursuant hereto and may exclude the Owner
and all persons claiming under it wholly or partly therefrom and may sell the
Collateral as a whole or from time to time in part; provided,
that
the Mortgagee shall give the Owner twenty days’ prior written notice of its
intention to sell any Collateral. Without limiting any of the foregoing, it
is
understood and agreed that the Mortgagee may exercise any right of sale, lease
or other disposition of any Collateral available to it, even though it shall
not
have taken possession of such Collateral and shall not have possession thereof
at the time of such sale, lease or other disposition.
(b) If
an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such
case the Mortgagee may (and shall, upon receipt of a written demand therefor
from a Majority in Interest of Note Holders), at any time, by delivery of
written notice or notices
to
the
Owner, declare all the Equipment Notes to be due and payable, whereupon the
unpaid Original Amount of all Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with
accrued but unpaid interest thereon, Break Amount, if any, with respect thereto,
and other amounts due thereunder or otherwise payable hereunder, shall
immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or
notice, all of which are hereby waived; provided that if an Event of Default
referred to in clause (v), (vi) or (vii) of Section 5.01 hereof shall have
occurred, then and in every such case the unpaid Original Amount then
outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest, Break Amount, if any,
with respect thereto, and all other amounts due hereunder and under the
Equipment Notes shall immediately and without further act become due and payable
without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby
waived.
This
Section 5.02(b), however, is subject to the condition that, if at any time
after
all or any portion of the Original Amount of the Equipment Notes shall have
become so due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment
of
the money so due, or any thereof, shall be entered, all overdue payments of
interest upon the Equipment Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder or
under the Equipment Notes (except the portion of the Original Amount of the
Equipment Notes which by such declaration shall have become payable) shall
have
been duly paid, and every other Default and Event of Default with respect to
any
covenant or provision of this Trust Indenture shall have been cured, then and
in
every such case a Majority in Interest of Note Holders may (but shall not be
obligated to), by written instrument filed with the Mortgagee, rescind and
annul
the Mortgagee’s declaration (or such automatic acceleration) and its
consequences; but no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect
any
subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.
(c) The
Note
Holders shall be entitled, at any sale pursuant to this Section 5.02, to credit
against any purchase price bid at such sale by such holder all or any part
of
the unpaid obligations owing to such Note Holder and secured by the Lien of
this
Trust Indenture (only to the extent that such purchase price would have been
paid to such Note Holder pursuant to Article III hereof if such purchase price
were paid in cash and the foregoing provisions of this subsection (c) were
not
given effect).
(d) In
the
event of any sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, pursuant to any
judgment or decree of any court or otherwise in connection with the enforcement
of any of the terms of this Trust Indenture, the unpaid Original Amount of
all
Equipment Notes then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon, Break
Amount, if any, and other amounts due thereunder, shall immediately become
due
and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are
hereby waived.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything contained herein, so long as the Pass Through Trustee under any Pass
Through Trust Agreement (or its designee) is a Note Holder, the Mortgagee will
not be authorized or empowered to acquire title to any Collateral or take any
action with respect to any Collateral so acquired by it if such acquisition
or
action would cause any Trust to fail to qualify as a “grantor trust” for federal
income tax purposes.
(a) If
an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the request of the
Mortgagee, the Owner shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to
the
Mortgagee at the Designated Locations and shall promptly execute and deliver
to
the Mortgagee such instruments of title and other documents as the Mortgagee
may
deem necessary or advisable to enable the Mortgagee or an agent or
representative designated by the Mortgagee, at such time or times and place
or
places as the Mortgagee may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part
of
the Collateral to which the Mortgagee shall at the time be entitled hereunder.
If the Owner shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments
and documents after such request by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee may (i) obtain
a judgment conferring on the Mortgagee the right to immediate possession and
requiring the Owner to execute and deliver such instruments and documents to
the
Mortgagee, to the entry of which judgment the Owner hereby specifically consents
to the fullest extent permitted by Law, and (ii) pursue all or part of such
Collateral wherever it may be found and may enter any of the premises of Owner
wherever such Collateral may be or are supposed to be and search for such
Collateral and take possession of and remove such Collateral. All expenses
of
obtaining such judgment or of pursuing, searching for and taking such property
shall, until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Trust Indenture.
(b) Upon
every such taking of possession, the Mortgagee may, from time to time, at the
expense of the Collateral, make all such expenditures for maintenance, use,
operation, storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition,
modifications or alterations to and of the Collateral, as it may deem proper.
In
each such case, the Mortgagee shall have the right to maintain, use, operate,
store, insure, lease, control, manage, dispose of, modify or alter the
Collateral and to exercise all rights and powers of the Owner relating to the
Collateral, as the Mortgagee shall deem best, including the right to enter
into
any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, operation,
storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, modification
or
alteration of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Mortgagee may determine,
and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all rents,
revenues and other proceeds of the Collateral and every part thereof, without
prejudice, however, to the right of the Mortgagee under any provision of this
Trust Indenture to collect and receive all cash held by, or required to be
deposited with, the Mortgagee hereunder. Such rents, revenues and other proceeds
shall be applied to pay the expenses of the maintenance, use, operation,
storage, insurance, leasing, control, management, disposition, improvement,
modification or alteration of the Collateral and of conducting the business
thereof, and to make all payments which the Mortgagee may be required or may
elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance or other proper charges
upon the Collateral or any part thereof (including the employment of engineers
and accountants to examine, inspect and make reports upon the properties and
books and records of the Owner), and all other payments which the Mortgagee
may
be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Trust Indenture,
as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Mortgagee,
and of all persons properly engaged and employed by the Mortgagee with respect
hereto.
Each
and
every right, power and remedy given to the Mortgagee specifically or otherwise
in this Trust Indenture shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every
other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter
existing at Law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and
remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised
from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient
by
the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power
or
remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the
same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission
by the Mortgagee in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the
pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be
construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of the Owner or to be an
acquiescence therein.
In
case
the Mortgagee shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power
or remedy under this Trust Indenture by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and
such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or
shall have been determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in every such
case the Owner and the Mortgagee shall, subject to any determination in such
proceedings, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with
respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Owner
or
the Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been
instituted.
Upon
written instruction from a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, the Mortgagee
shall waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences and upon any such
waiver such Default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Trust
Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or
impair any right consequent thereon; provided, that in the absence of written
instructions from all the Note Holders, the Mortgagee shall not waive any
Default (i) in the payment of all or any portion of the Original Amount,
Premium, if any, Break Amount, if any, and interest and other amounts due under
any Equipment Note then outstanding, or (ii) in respect of a covenant or
provision hereof which, under Article X hereof, cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of each Note Holder.
The
Mortgagee shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to the appointment of a
receiver (who may be the Mortgagee or any successor or nominee thereof) for
all
or any part of the Collateral, whether such receivership be incidental to a
proposed sale of the Collateral or the taking of possession thereof or
otherwise, and the Owner hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver
and will not oppose any such appointment. Any receiver appointed for all or
any
part of the Collateral shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and powers
of the Mortgagee with respect to the Collateral.
SECTION
5.08. Mortgagee Authorized to Execute
Bills of Sale, Etc.
The
Owner
irrevocably appoints, while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Owner (which
appointment is coupled with an interest) in its name and stead and on its
behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or
delivery for the enforcement of the Lien of this Trust Indenture, whether
pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale, assignments and other instruments
as
may be necessary or appropriate or entering into any agreement described in
Section 5.03(b), with full power of substitution, the Owner hereby ratifying
and
confirming all that such attorney or any substitute shall do by virtue hereof
in
accordance with applicable law. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Mortgagee
or any purchaser, the Owner shall ratify and confirm any such sale, assignment,
transfer or delivery, by executing and delivering to the Mortgagee or such
purchaser all bills of sale, assignments, releases and other proper instruments
to effect such ratification and confirmation as may be designated in any such
request.
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Trust Indenture, the right of any Note Holder to
receive payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on an
Equipment Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Equipment
Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
such
respective dates in accordance with the terms hereof, shall not be impaired
or
affected without the consent of such Note Holder.
DUTIES
OF THE MORTGAGEE
If
the
Mortgagee shall have Actual Knowledge of an Event of Default or of a Default
arising from a failure to pay any installment of principal and interest on
any
Equipment Note, the Mortgagee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the
Policy Provider and each Note Holder. Subject to the terms of Sections 5.06,
6.02 and 6.03 hereof, the Mortgagee shall take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default (including
with respect to the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder) as the
Mortgagee shall be instructed in writing by a Majority in Interest of Note
Holders. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, if the Mortgagee shall
not
have received instructions as above provided within 20 days after mailing notice
of such Event of Default to the Note Holders, the Mortgagee may, subject to
instructions thereafter received pursuant to the preceding provisions of this
Section 6.01, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, but shall
be
under no duty to take or refrain from taking any action, with respect to such
Event of Default or Default as it shall determine advisable in the best
interests of the Note Holders; provided,
however,
that
the Mortgagee may not sell any Pledged Spare Parts without the consent of a
Majority in Interest of Note Holders. For all purposes of this Trust Indenture,
in the absence of Actual Knowledge on the part of the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee
shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default or an Event of Default
(except, the failure of Owner to pay any installment of principal or interest
within
one Business Day after the same shall become due, which failure shall constitute
knowledge of a Default) unless notified in writing by the Owner or one or more
Note Holders.
SECTION
6.02. Action Upon Instructions; Certain
Rights and Limitations
Subject
to the terms of Sections 5.02(a), 5.06, 6.01 and 6.03 hereof, upon the written
instructions at any time and from time to time of a Majority in Interest of
Note
Holders, the Mortgagee shall, subject to the terms of this Section 6.02, take
such of the following actions as may be specified in such instructions: (i)
give
such notice or direction or exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder
or
under any other Operative Agreement as shall be specified in such instructions
and (ii) give such notice or direction or exercise such right, remedy or power
hereunder or under any other Operative Agreement with respect to any part of
the
Collateral as shall be specified in such instructions; it being understood
that
without the written instructions of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders,
the
Mortgagee shall not, except as provided in Section 6.01, approve any such
matter as satisfactory to the Mortgagee.
The
Mortgagee will execute and the Owner will file such continuation statements
with
respect to financing statements relating to the security interest created
hereunder in the Collateral as may be specified from time to time in written
instructions of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders (which instructions
shall
be accompanied by the form of such continuation statement so to be filed).
The
Mortgagee will furnish to the Policy Provider and each Note Holder, promptly
upon receipt thereof, duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests,
demands, certificates and other instruments furnished to the Mortgagee
hereunder.
The
Mortgagee shall not be required to take any action or refrain from taking any
action under Section 6.01 (other than the first sentence thereof), 6.02 or
Article V hereof unless the Mortgagee shall have been indemnified to its
reasonable satisfaction against any liability, cost or expense (including
counsel fees) which may be incurred in connection therewith pursuant to a
written agreement with one or more Note Holders. The Mortgagee agrees that
it
shall look solely to the Note Holders for the satisfaction of any indemnity
(except expenses for foreclosure of the type referred to in clause “First” of
Section 3.03 hereof) owed to it pursuant to this Section 6.03. The Mortgagee
shall not be under any obligation to take any action under this Trust Indenture
or any other Operative Agreement and nothing herein or therein shall require
the
Mortgagee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur the risk of any
financial liability in the performance of any of its rights or powers if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to
it (the written indemnity of any Note Holder who is a QIB, signed by an
authorized officer thereof, in favor of, delivered to and in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Mortgagee shall be accepted as reasonable assurance of
adequate indemnity). The Mortgagee shall not be required to take any action
under Section 6.01 (other than the first sentence thereof) or 6.02 or Article
V
hereof, nor shall any other provision of this Trust Indenture or any other
Operative Agreement be deemed to impose a duty on the Mortgagee to take any
action, if the Mortgagee shall have been advised by counsel that such action
is
contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to Law.
SECTION
6.04. No Duties Except as Specified in
Trust Indenture or Instructions
The
Mortgagee shall not have any duty or obligation to use, operate, store, lease,
control, manage, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the
Collateral, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or
in
connection with, this Trust Indenture or any part of the Collateral, except
as
expressly provided by the terms of this Trust Indenture or as expressly provided
in written instructions from Note Holders as provided in this Trust Indenture;
and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Trust Indenture
against the Mortgagee. The Mortgagee agrees that it will in its individual
capacity and at its own cost and expense (but without any right of indemnity
in
respect of any such cost or expense under Section 8.01 hereof), promptly take
such action as may be necessary duly to discharge all liens and encumbrances
on
any part of the Collateral which result from claims against it in its individual
capacity not related to the administration of the Collateral or any other
transaction pursuant to this Trust Indenture or any document included in the
Collateral.
SECTION
6.05. No Action Except Under Trust
Indenture or Instructions
The
Mortgagee will not use, operate, store, lease, control, manage, sell, dispose
of
or otherwise deal with any part of the Collateral except in accordance with
the
powers granted to, or the authority conferred upon the Mortgagee pursuant to
this Trust Indenture and in accordance with the express terms
hereof.
Any
amounts held by the Mortgagee pursuant to Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.07 or pursuant
to any provision of any other Operative Agreement providing for amounts to
be
held by the Mortgagee which are not distributed pursuant to the other provisions
of Article III hereof shall be invested by the Mortgagee from time to time
in
Investment Securities as directed by the Owner so long as the Mortgagee may
acquire the same using its best efforts. All Investment Securities held by
the
Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 6.06 shall either be (a) registered in the
name of, payable to the order of, or specially endorsed to, the Mortgagee,
or
(b) held in an Eligible Account. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this
Trust Indenture, any income realized as a result of any such investment, net
of
the Mortgagee’s reasonable fees and expenses in making such investment, shall be
held and applied by the Mortgagee in the same manner as the principal amount
of
such investment is to be applied and any losses, net of earnings and such
reasonable fees and expenses, shall be charged against the principal amount
invested. The Mortgagee shall not be liable for any loss resulting from any
investment required to be made by it under this Trust Indenture other than
by
reason of its willful misconduct or gross negligence or negligence in the
handling of funds, and any such investment may be sold (without regard to its
maturity) by the Mortgagee without instructions whenever such sale is necessary
to make a distribution required by this Trust Indenture.
THE
MORTGAGEE
The
Mortgagee accepts the duties hereby created and applicable to it and agrees
to
perform the same but only upon the terms of this Trust Indenture and agrees
to
receive and disburse all monies constituting part of the Collateral in
accordance with the terms hereof. The Mortgagee, in its individual capacity,
shall not be answerable or accountable under any circumstances, except (i)
for
its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (other than for the handling
of
funds, for which the standard of accountability shall be willful misconduct
or
negligence), (ii) as provided in the fourth sentence of Section 2.04(a) hereof
and the last sentence of Section 6.04 hereof, and (iii) from the inaccuracy
of
any representation or warranty of the Mortgagee (in its individual capacity)
in
the Note Purchase Agreement or expressly made hereunder.
Except
in
accordance with written instructions furnished pursuant to Section 6.01 or
6.02
hereof, and except as provided in, and without limiting the generality of,
Sections 6.03, 6.04 and 7.07 hereof the Mortgagee shall have no duty (i) to
see
to any recording or filing of this Trust Indenture or any other document, or
to
see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing, (ii) to see to any
insurance on any Pledged Spare Parts or to effect or maintain any such
insurance, whether or not Owner shall be in default with respect thereto, (iii)
to see to the payment or discharge of any lien or encumbrance of any kind
against any part of the Collateral, (iv) to confirm, verify or inquire into
the
failure to receive any financial statements from Owner, or (v) to inspect the
Collateral at any time or ascertain or inquire as to the performance or

SECTION
7.03. No Representations or Warranties
as to Pledged Spare Parts or Spare Parts Documents
THE
MORTGAGEE IN ITS INDIVIDUAL OR TRUST CAPACITY DOES NOT MAKE AND SHALL NOT BE
DEEMED TO HAVE MADE AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION OR
WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE TITLE, AIRWORTHINESS, VALUE, COMPLIANCE
WITH SPECIFICATIONS, CONDITION, DESIGN, QUALITY, DURABILITY, OPERATION,
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR USE FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF ANY PLEDGED
SPARE
PARTS, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, WHETHER OR NOT
DISCOVERABLE, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF ANY INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK
OR
COPYRIGHT, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF OBLIGATIONS BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT
OR
ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER. The Mortgagee, in its
individual or trust capacities, does not make or shall not be deemed to have
made any representation or warranty as to the validity, legality or
enforceability of this Trust Indenture, the Note Purchase
Agreement,
or the Equipment Notes, or as to the correctness of any statement contained
in
any thereof, except for the representations and warranties of the Mortgagee
in
its individual capacity expressly made in this Trust Indenture or in the Note
Purchase Agreement. The Note Holders make no representation or warranty
hereunder whatsoever.
Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 3.07 hereof, any monies paid to or retained by
the
Mortgagee pursuant to any provision hereof and not then required to be
distributed to the Note Holders, or the Owner as provided in Article III hereof
need not be segregated in any manner except to the extent required by Law or
Section 6.06 hereof, and may be deposited under such general conditions as
may
be prescribed by Law, and the Mortgagee shall not be liable for any interest
thereon (except that the Mortgagee shall invest all monies held as directed
by
Owner so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or in
the
absence of such direction, by the Majority In Interest of Note Holders) in
Investment Securities; provided,
however,
that
any payments received, or applied hereunder, by the Mortgagee shall be accounted
for by the Mortgagee so that any portion thereof paid or applied pursuant hereto
shall be identifiable as to the source thereof.
The
Mortgagee shall not incur any liability to anyone in acting upon any signature,
instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report,
opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and
believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Mortgagee may
accept a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors (or Executive Committee
thereof) of the Owner, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary
thereof as duly adopted and in full force and effect, as conclusive evidence
that such resolution has been duly adopted and that the same is in full force
and effect. As to the aggregate unpaid Original Amount of Equipment Notes
outstanding as of any date, the Owner may for all purposes hereof rely on a
certificate signed by any Vice President or other authorized corporate trust
officer of the Mortgagee. As to any fact or matter relating to the Owner the
manner of the ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein,
the
Mortgagee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by a duly
authorized officer of the Owner, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate
shall constitute full protection to the Mortgagee for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon. In the
administration of the trusts hereunder, the Mortgagee may execute any of the
trusts or powers hereof and perform its powers and duties hereunder directly
or
through agents or attorneys and may, at the expense of the Collateral, advise
with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained
by it, and the Mortgagee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or
omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the written advice or written
opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons.
The
Mortgagee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation, including expenses
and
disbursements (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), for
all
services
rendered
hereunder and shall, on and subsequent to an Event of Default hereunder, have
a
priority claim on the Collateral for the payment of such compensation, to the
extent that such compensation shall not be paid by Owner, and shall have the
right, on and subsequent to an Event of Default hereunder, to use or apply
any
monies held by it hereunder in the Collateral toward such payments. The
Mortgagee agrees that it shall have no right against the Note Holders for any
fee as compensation for its services as trustee under this Trust
Indenture.
In
the
administration of the trusts created hereunder, the Mortgagee shall have the
right to seek instructions from a Majority in Interest of Note Holders should
any provision of this Trust Indenture appear to conflict with any other
provision herein or should the Mortgagee’s duties or obligations hereunder be
unclear, and the Mortgagee shall incur no liability in refraining from acting
until it receives such instructions. The Mortgagee shall be fully protected
for
acting in accordance with any instructions received under this Section
7.07.
INDEMNIFICATION
The
Mortgagee shall be indemnified by the Owner to the extent and in the manner
provided in Section 8 of the Note Purchase Agreement.
SUCCESSOR
AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES
(a) The
Mortgagee or any successor thereto may resign at any time without cause by
giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Owner and each Note Holder,
such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of the trusteeship by
a
successor Mortgagee. In addition, a Majority in Interest of Note Holders may
at
any time (but only with the consent of Owner, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, except that such consent shall not be necessary if an
Event of Default is continuing) remove the Mortgagee without cause by an
instrument in writing delivered to the Owner and the Mortgagee, and the
Mortgagee shall promptly notify each Note Holder thereof in writing, such
removal to be effective upon the acceptance of the trusteeship by a successor
Mortgagee. In the case of the resignation or removal of the Mortgagee, a
Majority in Interest of Note Holders may appoint a successor Mortgagee by an
instrument signed by such holders, which successor, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be subject to Owner’s
reasonable approval. If a successor Mortgagee shall not have been appointed
within 30 days after such notice of resignation or removal, the Mortgagee,
the
Owner or any Note Holder may apply to any court of
competent
jurisdiction to appoint a successor Mortgagee to act until such time, if any,
as
a successor shall have been appointed as above provided. The successor Mortgagee
so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be
superseded by any successor Mortgagee appointed as above provided.
(b) Any
successor Mortgagee, however appointed, shall execute and deliver to the Owner
and the predecessor Mortgagee an instrument accepting such appointment and
assuming the obligations of the Mortgagee arising from and after the time of
such appointment, and thereupon such successor Mortgagee, without further act,
shall become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and duties
of the predecessor Mortgagee hereunder in the trust hereunder applicable to
it
with like effect as if originally named the Mortgagee herein; but nevertheless
upon the written request of such successor Mortgagee, such predecessor Mortgagee
shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Mortgagee, upon the trusts herein expressed applicable to it, all the estates,
properties, rights and powers of such predecessor Mortgagee, and such
predecessor Mortgagee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to
such
successor Mortgagee all monies or other property then held by such predecessor
Mortgagee hereunder.
(c) Any
successor Mortgagee, however appointed, shall be a bank or trust company having
its principal place of business in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State
of
New York; Chicago, Illinois; Hartford, Connecticut; Wilmington, Delaware; or
Boston, Massachusetts and having (or whose obligations under the Operative
Agreements are guaranteed by an affiliated entity having) a combined capital
and
surplus of at least $100,000,000, if there be such an institution willing,
able
and legally qualified to perform the duties of the Mortgagee hereunder upon
reasonable or customary terms.
(d) Any
corporation into which the Mortgagee may be merged or converted or with which
it
may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or
consolidation to which the Mortgagee shall be a party, or any corporation to
which substantially all the corporate trust business of the Mortgagee may be
transferred, shall, subject to the terms of paragraph (c) of this Section 9.01,
be a successor Mortgagee and the Mortgagee under this Trust Indenture without
further act.
(a) Whenever
(i) the Mortgagee shall deem it necessary or desirable in order to conform
to
any Law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Collateral shall
be
situated or to make any claim or bring any suit with respect to or in connection
with the Collateral, this Trust Indenture, any other Indenture Agreement, the
Equipment Notes or any of the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase
Agreement, (ii) the Mortgagee shall be advised by counsel satisfactory to it
that it is so necessary or prudent in the interests of the Note Holders (and
the
Mortgagee shall so advise the Owner), or (iii) the Mortgagee shall have been
requested to do so by a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, then in any such
case, the Mortgagee and, upon the written request of the Mortgagee, the Owner,
shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and such other
instruments as may from time to time be necessary or advisable either (1) to
constitute one or more bank or trust companies or one or
more
persons approved by the Mortgagee, either to act jointly with the Mortgagee
as
additional trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Collateral, or to
act
as separate trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Collateral, in each
case with such rights, powers, duties and obligations consistent with this
Trust
Indenture as may be provided in such supplemental indenture or other instruments
as the Mortgagee or a Majority in Interest of Note Holders may deem necessary
or
advisable, or (2) to clarify, add to or subtract from the rights, powers, duties
and obligations theretofore granted any such additional or separate trustee,
subject in each case to the remaining provisions of this Section 9.02. If the
Owner shall not have taken any action requested of it under this Section 9.02(a)
that is permitted or required by its terms within 15 days after the receipt
of a
written request from the Mortgagee so to do, or if an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagee may act under the foregoing
provisions of this Section 9.02(a) without the concurrence of the Owner, and
the
Owner hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an
interest) the Mortgagee, its agent and attorney-in-fact to act for it under
the
foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02(a) in either of such contingencies.
The Mortgagee may, in such capacity, execute, deliver and perform any such
supplemental indenture, or any such instrument, as may be required for the
appointment of any such additional or separate trustee or for the clarification
of, addition to or subtraction from the rights, powers, duties or obligations
theretofore granted to any such additional or separate trustee. In case any
additional or separate trustee appointed under this Section 9.02(a) shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be moved, all the assets, property,
rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such additional or separate
trustee shall revert to the Mortgagee until a successor additional or separate
trustee is appointed as provided in this Section 9.02(a).
(b) No
additional or separate trustee shall be entitled to exercise any of the rights,
powers, duties and obligations conferred upon the Mortgagee in respect of the
custody, investment and payment of monies and all monies received by any such
additional or separate trustee from or constituting part of the Collateral
or
otherwise payable under any Operative Agreement to the Mortgagee shall be
promptly paid over by it to the Mortgagee. All other rights, powers, duties
and
obligations conferred or imposed upon any additional or separate trustee shall
be exercised or performed by the Mortgagee and such additional or separate
trustee jointly except to the extent that applicable Law of any jurisdiction
in
which any particular act is to be performed renders the Mortgagee incompetent
or
unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties
and
obligations (including the holding of title to all or part of the Collateral
in
any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such additional
or
separate trustee. No additional or separate trustee shall take any discretionary
action except on the instructions of the Mortgagee or a Majority in Interest
of
Note Holders. No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of
any
act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, except that the Mortgagee shall
be liable for the consequences of its lack of reasonable care in selecting,
and
the Mortgagee’s own actions in acting with, any additional or separate trustee.
Each additional or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 9.02
shall be subject to, and shall have the benefit of Articles V through IX and
Article XI hereof insofar as they apply to the Mortgagee. The powers of any
additional or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 9.02 shall
not
in any case exceed those of the Mortgagee hereunder.
(c) If
at any
time the Mortgagee shall deem it no longer necessary or in order to conform
to
any such Law or take any such action or shall be advised by such counsel
that
it
is no longer so necessary or desirable in the interest of the Note Holders,
or
in the event that the Mortgagee shall have been requested to do so in writing
by
a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, the Mortgagee and, upon the written
request of the Mortgagee, the Owner, shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto and all other instruments and agreements necessary or proper
to remove any additional or separate trustee. The Mortgagee may act on behalf
of
the Owner under this Section 9.02(c) when and to the extent it could so act
under Section 9.02(a) hereof.
SUPPLEMENTS

Mortgagee agrees with the Note Holders that it shall not enter into any

part thereof other than Permitted Liens or deprive any Note Holder of the
benefit of the Lien of this Trust Indenture on the Collateral, except as

without the consent of any Note Holder for any of the following purposes: (i)

mistake; (ii) to evidence the succession of another party as the Owner in
accordance with the terms hereof or to evidence the succession of a new trustee

any
time subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture or better to assure, convey
and
confirm unto the Mortgagee any property subject or required to be subject to
the
Lien of this Trust Indenture; (v) to add any location as a Designated Location;
(vi) to add to the covenants of the Owner for the benefit of the Note
Holders, or to surrender any rights or power herein conferred upon the Owner;

If,
in
the opinion of the institution acting as Mortgagee hereunder, any document
required to be executed by it pursuant to the terms of Section 10.01 hereof
affects any right, duty, immunity or indemnity with respect to such institution
under this Trust Indenture, such institution may in its discretion decline
to
execute such document.
Promptly
after the execution by the Owner or the Mortgagee of any document entered into
pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof, the Mortgagee shall mail, by first class
mail,
postage prepaid, a copy thereof to Owner (if not a party thereto), to the Policy
Provider and to each Note Holder at its address last set forth in the Equipment
Note Register, but the failure of the Mortgagee to mail such copies shall not
impair or affect the validity of such document.
No
written request or consent of the Note Holders pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof
shall be required to enable the Mortgagee to execute and deliver a Trust
Indenture Supplement specifically required by the terms hereof.

Equipment Notes and provided that there shall then be no other Secured

Agreement or other Operative Agreement, the Owner shall direct the Mortgagee
to
execute and deliver to or as directed in writing by the Owner an appropriate
instrument releasing the Pledged Spare Parts and all other Collateral from
the
Lien of the Trust Indenture and the Mortgagee shall execute and deliver such
instrument as aforesaid; provided,
however,
that
this Trust Indenture and the trusts created hereby shall earlier terminate
and
this Trust Indenture shall be of no further force or effect upon any sale or
other final disposition by the Mortgagee of all property constituting part
of
the Collateral and the final distribution by the Mortgagee of all monies or
other property or proceeds constituting part of the Collateral in accordance
with the terms hereof. Except as aforesaid otherwise provided, this Trust
Indenture and the trusts created hereby shall continue in full force and effect
in accordance with the terms hereof.
No
holder
of an Equipment Note shall have legal title to any part of the Collateral.
No
transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any Equipment Note or other

transfer to it of any legal title to any part of the Collateral.

sale
or other conveyance of the Collateral, or any part thereof (including any part
thereof or interest therein), by the Mortgagee made pursuant to the terms of
this Trust Indenture shall bind the Note Holders and shall be effective to
transfer or convey all right, title and interest of the Mortgagee, the Owner
and
such holders in and to such Collateral or part thereof. No purchaser or other
grantee shall be required to inquire as to the authorization, necessity,
expediency or regularity of such sale or conveyance or as to the application
of
any sale or other proceeds with respect thereto by the Mortgagee.
SECTION
11.04. Trust Indenture for Benefit of
Owner, Mortgagee, Note Holders and the other Indenture
Indemnitees
Nothing
in this Trust Indenture, whether express or implied, shall be construed to
give
any person other than the Owner, the Mortgagee, the Note Holders and the other
Indenture Indemnitees, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
or in
respect of this Trust Indenture.
Unless
otherwise expressly specified or permitted by the terms hereof, all notices,
requests, demands, authorizations, directions, consents, waivers or documents
provided or permitted by this Trust Indenture to be made, given, furnished
or
filed shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by certified mail,
postage prepaid, or by facsimile or confirmed telex, and (i) if to the Owner,
addressed to it at 1600 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, Attention:
Treasurer, facsimile number (713) 324-2447, (ii) if to Mortgagee, addressed
to
it at its office at Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington,

(302) 651-8882, (iii) if to any Note Holder or any Indenture Indemnitee,
addressed to such party at such address as such party shall have furnished
by
notice to the Owner and the Mortgagee, or, until an address is so furnished,
addressed to the address of such party (if any) set forth on Schedule 1 to
the Note Purchase Agreement or in the Equipment Note Register. Whenever any
notice in writing is required to be given by the Owner or the Mortgagee or
any
Note Holder to any of the other of them, such notice shall be deemed given
and
such requirement satisfied when such notice is received, or if such notice
is
mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, three Business Days after being
mailed, addressed as provided above. Any party hereto may change the address
to
which notices to such party will be sent by giving notice of such change to
the
other parties to this Trust Indenture.
Any
provision of this Trust Indenture which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof. Any such prohibition or unenforceability in any particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any
other jurisdiction.
No
term
or provision of this Trust Indenture or the Equipment Notes may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the Owner and the Mortgagee, in compliance with Section 10.01 hereof.
Any waiver of the terms hereof or of any Equipment Note shall be effective
only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.
All
covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon, and inure
to
the benefit of, each of the parties hereto and the permitted successors and
assigns of each, all as herein provided. Any request, notice, direction,
consent, waiver or other instrument or action by any Note Holder shall bind
the
successors and assigns of such holder. Each Note Holder by its acceptance of
an
Equipment Note agrees to be bound by this Trust Indenture and all provisions
of
the Operative Agreements applicable to a Note Holder.
The
headings of the various Articles and sections herein and in the table of
contents hereto are for convenience of reference only and shall not define
or
limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.
Anything
contained in this Trust Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, Mortgagee
may
conduct any banking or other financial transactions, and have banking or other
commercial relationships, with Owner, fully to the same extent as if this Trust
Indenture were not in effect, including without limitation the making of loans
or other extensions of credit to Owner for any purpose whatsoever, whether
related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or
otherwise.
THIS
TRUST INDENTURE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF
CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE. THIS TRUST INDENTURE IS BEING DELIVERED
IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. This Trust Indenture may be executed by the parties
hereto in separate counterparts (or upon separate signature pages bound together
into one or more counterparts), each of which when so executed and delivered
shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but
one and the same instrument.
All
votes
of the Note Holders shall be governed by a vote of a Majority in Interest of
Note Holders, except as otherwise provided herein.
It
is the
intention of the parties that the Mortgagee shall be entitled to the benefits
of
Section 1110 with respect to the right to take possession of the Pledged Spare
Parts and to enforce any of its other rights or remedies as provided herein
in
the event of a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in which Owner
is a
debtor, and in any instance where more than one construction is possible of
the
terms and conditions hereof or any other pertinent Operative Agreement, each
such party agrees that a construction which would preserve such benefits shall
control over any construction which would not preserve such
benefits.
The
Owner
and the Mortgagee acknowledge that the use of Fair Market Value herein or in
the
other Operative Agreements is strictly and solely for convenience in
establishing the amount of Collateral and any substitutions therefor under
the
Operative Agreements. Accordingly, the Fair Market Value of any Collateral
subjected to the Lien of a Collateral
Agreement
is not an indication of and shall not be deemed an agreement by the parties
as
the basis for valuation of such Collateral for purposes of determining the
value
of the Mortgagee’s secured claim against the Owner, adequate protection of the
Mortgagee’s interest in the Collateral or for any other purpose in any
bankruptcy, receivership or insolvency proceeding involving the Owner or any
remedial action brought by the Mortgagee or Collateral Agent except to the
extent such valuations are mandated by applicable law, or any court with
jurisdiction over such proceedings, in either case without regard to the use
of
the concept of Fair Market Value by the parties hereto.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Trust Indenture and
Mortgage to be duly executed by their respective officers thereof duly
authorized as of the day and year first above written.

The
Company shall furnish to the Policy Provider (with copies to the Mortgagee
and
the Rating Agencies) any such requested special Independent Appraiser’s
Certificate reasonably promptly after receipt of such request. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated (i) to furnish any
Independent Appraiser’s Certificate under this Section 2.4
during the Section 1110
Period or (ii) to deliver pursuant to this Article 2 an Independent
Appraiser’s Certificate more than twice in any six month period. Upon written
request of the Policy Provider given to the Company within twenty Business
Days
after delivery to the Policy Provider of a special Independent Appraiser’s

Inventory Report.
Section
2.5 Information
from the Mortgagee.
The
Fair Market Value of any Investment Securities included in the Cash Collateral
for purposes of this Agreement shall be determined by the Mortgagee in
accordance with customary financial market practices. The Mortgagee shall inform

Section
2.6 Independent
Appraiser.
If the
Policy Provider (or, if a Policy Provider Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Mortgagee at the direction of the Controlling Party) has a
reasonable basis for concluding that the performance of the Independent
Appraiser that executed the most recent Independent Appraiser’s Certificate
delivered pursuant to Article 2 was not satisfactory, the Policy Provider
(or, if a Policy Provider Default has occurred and is continuing, the Mortgagee
at the direction of the Controlling Party) may designate another Independent
Appraiser to perform the next required appraisal under this Article 2 by
written notice given to the Company within 90 days after the date of such
most recent Independent Appraiser’s Certificate. The Company shall use such
other Independent Appraiser designated by the Policy Provider (or the Mortgagee,
as the case may be) for the next appraisal unless it gives the Policy Provider
(or the Mortgagee, as the case may be) written notice of reasonable objection
to
the use of such other Independent Appraiser.

leases to Permitted Lessees or loans to other Persons (together, “Loans”)
shall
not exceed 3% of the Appraised Value of the Collateral or (z) previously

Equipment Notes (the “Series G
Interest Rate”)
and
the rate of interest payable on the Series B Equipment Notes (the
“Series B
Interest Rate”),
“LIBOR”
for
each Interest Period that commences after the Issuance Date (it being understood
that the Series G Interest Rate and the Series B Interest Rate for the
Interest Period commencing on the Issuance Date shall be determined pursuant
to
the Underwriting Agreement) shall mean the rate determined in accordance with
the following provisions:
(i) The
Reference Agent will determine LIBOR for each such Interest Period as the rate
for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a period of three months which appears on
the
Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Interest Rate
Determination Date for such Interest Period.
(ii) If
the
rate referred to in Section 6(b)(i) does not appear on the Telerate Page 3750,
the Reference Agent will determine LIBOR on the basis of the rates at which
deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately
11:00 a.m., London time, on the Interest Rate Determination Date for such
Interest Period to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period
of
three months commencing on the first day of such Interest Period and in a
Representative Amount. The Reference Agent will request the principal London
office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If
at
least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that Interest Period will
be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are
provided as requested, the rate for that Interest Period will be the arithmetic
mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the
Reference Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, at
approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first day of such Interest
Period for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a period of
three
months commencing on the first day of such Interest Period and in a
Representative Amount, except that, if the banks so selected by the Reference
Agent are not quoting as mentioned above, LIBOR shall be the floating rate
of
interest in effect for the last preceding Interest Period.
(c) As
soon
as practicable after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each Interest Rate
Determination Date, the Reference Agent will calculate the Class G Interest
Rate for such Interest Period, which shall be applicable to the Series G
Equipment Notes, and, accordingly, the Class G Certificates for such
Interest Period, and the Class B Interest Rate for such Interest Period,
which shall be applicable to the Series B Equipment Notes, and, accordingly,
the
Class B Certificates for such Interest Period. The Reference Agent’s
determination of LIBOR, the Class G Interest Rate and the Class B Interest
Rate (in the absence of negligence, wilful default, bad faith or manifest error)
shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties.
(d) As
promptly as is practicable after the determination thereof, the Reference Agent
shall give notice of the applicable LIBOR, the Class G Interest Rate and
the next Payment Date to the Company, the Subordination Agent, each Liquidity
Provider, the Policy Provider, the Pass Through Trustees and the
Mortgagee.
(e) As
promptly as is practicable after the determination thereof, the Reference Agent
shall give notice of the applicable LIBOR, the Class B Interest Rate and
the next Payment Date to the Company, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through
Trustees and the Mortgagee.
(f) The
Reference Agent shall determine Break Amount if and when required under the
Trust Indenture.
SECTION
7. Amendment
of the Equipment Notes.
The
Company shall deliver to the Reference Agent, at least three Business Days
prior
to the effective date of any amendment of the interest rate terms of the
Class G Pass Through Trust, Series G Equipment Notes, Class B
Pass Through Trust or Series B Equipment Notes, written notice of such
amendment describing the terms of such amendment in reasonable detail, and
a
certification by the Company that such amendment is in compliance with the
terms
of the Class G Pass Through Trust, the Class B Pass Through Trust or
the Trust Indenture (as applicable).
SECTION
8. Ownership
of Certificates.
The
Reference Agent, its officers, directors, employees and shareholders may become
the owners of or acquire any interest in any Certificates, with the same rights
that it or they would have if it were not the Reference Agent, and may engage
or
be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Company as freely
as if it were not the Reference Agent.
SECTION
9. Term;
Termination, Resignation or Removal of Reference Agent.
(a)
This Agreement shall have a noncancellable term commencing on the date hereof
and expiring on payment in full of the Series G Equipment Notes and Series
B Equipment Notes issued under the Trust Indenture or, if earlier, termination
of the Trust Indenture. During such term, this Agreement shall not be terminable
by any party hereto except as expressly provided in Section 9(b).
(b) The
Reference Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice to the Company,
the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustees and the Mortgagee, specifying
therein the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective;
provided
that
such notice shall be given no less than 30 days prior to said effective date
unless the Reference Agent, the Company, the Subordination Agent, the Pass
Through Trustees and the Mortgagee otherwise agree in writing. The Company

successor reference agent; and provided,
further,
that in
the event that an instrument of acceptance by a successor reference agent shall

of such notice of resignation or removal, the Reference Agent may petition

accepting such appointment. Thereupon, such successor reference agent shall,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, become vested with all the
authority, rights, powers, immunities, duties and obligations of the Reference
Agent and with like effect as if originally named as Reference Agent hereunder,
and the incumbent Reference Agent shall thereupon be obligated to transfer
