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

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

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


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

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

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

Ladies and Gentlemen:

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

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

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

1


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

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

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

2


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

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

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

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

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

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

5

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

7


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

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

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

13


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

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

14


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

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

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

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

15


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

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

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

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

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

16


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

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

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

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

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

17


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

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

18


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

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

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

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

19


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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7


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

8


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

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

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

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

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

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


A-3

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

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

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

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

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

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

7


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

8


discharged its obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an event of default shall not have occurred hereunder. Following the making of any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d) hereof to fund the Primary Cash Collateral Account, the Primary Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights to the Primary Cash Collateral Account, the funds constituting such Advance or any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Primary Cash Collateral Account; provided that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Subordination Agent to make the distributions contemplated by Section 3.5(e) or 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement and provided further, that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the rights of the Primary Liquidity Provider to provide written instructions with respect to the investment and reinvestment of amounts in the Primary Cash Collateral Account to the extent provided in Section 2.2(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement. By paying to the Borrower proceeds of Advances requested by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Primary Liquidity Provider makes no representation as to, and assumes no responsibility for, the correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount of the Advances so made and requested.
 
Section 2.03 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Primary Liquidity Provider the fees set forth in the Fee Letter applicable to this Agreement.
 
Section 2.04 Reductions or Termination of the Maximum Commitment. (a)  Automatic Reduction. Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance of the Class G Certificates (including by reason of a Policy Provider Election with respect to the Series G Equipment Note) or otherwise, the Maximum Commitment shall automatically be reduced to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by the Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment to the Primary Liquidity Provider within two Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower to furnish any such notice shall not affect such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment.
 
(b) Termination. Upon the making of any Provider Advance or Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the obligation of the Primary Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall automatically and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any further Borrowing hereunder.
 
Section 2.05 Repayments of Interest Advances or the Final Advance. Subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Primary Liquidity Provider (which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be paid, to the Primary Liquidity Provider on each date on which the Primary Liquidity Provider shall make an Interest Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to (a) the amount of such Advance (any such Advance, until repaid, is referred to herein as an “Unpaid Advance”) (if multiple Interest Advances are outstanding, any such repayment to be applied in the order in which such Interest Advances have been made, starting with the earliest), plus (b) interest on the amount of each such Unpaid Advance as provided in Section 3.07 hereof; provided that if (i) the Primary Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this Section 2.05 or (ii) this Primary Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Interest Advances have reduced the Maximum Available Commitment to zero,
 

9


then such Interest Advances shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is required to be repaid to the Primary Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of Section 2.06(b)). The Borrower and the Primary Liquidity Provider agree that the repayment in full of each Interest Advance and Final Advance on the date such Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the Primary Liquidity Provider.
 
Section 2.06 Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the Primary Cash Collateral Account and invested and withdrawn from the Primary Cash Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.5(c), 3.5(d), 3.5(e) and 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Primary Liquidity Provider, on each Regular Distribution Date, commencing on the first Regular Distribution Date after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the principal amount of any such Provider Advance as provided in Section 3.07 hereof; provided, however, that amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Primary Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class G Certificates in accordance with Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the amount of any such withdrawal being (y) in the case of a Downgrade Advance, an “Applied Downgrade Advance” and (z) in the case of a Non-Extension Advance, an “Applied Non-Extension Advance” and, together with an Applied Downgrade Advance, an “Applied Provider Advance”) shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; provided further, however, that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the Primary Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof, such Provider Advance shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the obligation for repayment thereof and as an Applied Downgrade Advance or Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for purposes of Section 2.6(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Primary Cash Collateral Account on account of a reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Primary Liquidity Provider a portion of the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to such reduction, plus interest on the principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.07 hereof.
 
(b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Primary Cash Collateral Account of any amount pursuant to clause “fourth” of Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount being a “Replenishment Amount”) for the purpose of replenishing or increasing the balance thereof up to the Required Amount at such time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider Advances (and of Provider Advances treated as an Interest Advance for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount (if multiple Applied Provider Advances are outstanding, such Replenishment Amount to be applied in the order in which such Applied Provider Advances have been made, starting with the earliest) and (ii) the aggregate outstanding
 

10


principal amount of all Unapplied Provider Advances shall be automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.
 
(c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility in replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.5(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement, and upon the payment in full of the Class G Certificates, amounts remaining on deposit in the Primary Cash Collateral Account after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance on the date of such replacement shall be reimbursed to the replaced Primary Liquidity Provider, but only to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the replaced Primary Liquidity Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.
 
Section 2.07 Payments to the Primary Liquidity Provider Under the Intercreditor Agreement. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the Primary Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Primary Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the Primary Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof. Amounts so paid to the Primary Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Primary Liquidity Provider to Liquidity Obligations then due and payable in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement and shall discharge in full the corresponding obligations of the Borrower hereunder (or, if not provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, then in such manner as the Primary Liquidity Provider shall deem appropriate).
 
Section 2.08 Book Entries. The Primary Liquidity Provider shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Primary Liquidity Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of Advances.
 
Section 2.09 Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement including, without limitation, Section 7.05 and 7.07 hereof, shall be made only from the amounts that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments or payments under the Fee Letter and Section 8.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement and only to the extent that the Borrower shall have sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the Borrower to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The Primary Liquidity Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts in respect of payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder to the extent available for distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement and that the Borrower, in its individual capacity, is not personally liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Note Purchase Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Primary Cash Collateral Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement only to the extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Nothing herein shall limit or
 

11


otherwise affect the right of the Primary Liquidity Provider to receive payment from the Policy Provider under Section 3.6(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
 
Section 2.10 Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension Advance. No earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (unless such Expiry Date is on or after the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class G Certificates), the Borrower shall request that the Primary Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class G Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day occurring after the last day of the Consent Period (as hereinafter defined). Whether or not the Borrower has made such request, the Primary Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower, no earlier than the 40th day (or, if earlier, the date of the Primary Liquidity Provider’s receipt of such request, if any, from the Borrower) and no later than the 25th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (such period, the “Consent Period”), whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date. If the Primary Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall not be so extended, or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower on or before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall be so extended (and, in each case, if the Primary Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.5(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled on and after the date on which the Consent Period ends (but prior to the then effective Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section 3.5(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
 
 
ARTICLE III
 
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER
 
Section 3.01 Increased Costs. The Borrower shall pay to the Primary Liquidity Provider from time to time such amounts as may be necessary to compensate the Primary Liquidity Provider for any increased costs incurred by the Primary Liquidity Provider which are attributable to its making or maintaining any LIBOR Advances hereunder or its obligation to make any such Advances hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by the Primary Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any change after the date of this Agreement in U.S. federal, state, municipal, or foreign laws or regulations (including Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), or the adoption or making after the date of this Agreement of any interpretations, directives, or requirements applying to a class of banks including the Primary Liquidity Provider under any U.S. federal, state, municipal, or any foreign laws or regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any court, central bank or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (a “Regulatory Change”), which: (1) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to the Primary Liquidity Provider under this Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such obligation (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes); or (2) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with other liabilities of, the Primary Liquidity Provider (including any
 

12


such Advances or such obligation or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate or related definitions).
 
The Primary Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Primary Liquidity Provider to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed under this Section. Determinations by the Primary Liquidity Provider for purposes of this Section 3.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making or maintaining Advances or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Advances, and of the additional amounts required to compensate the Primary Liquidity Provider in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount owed under this Section.
 
Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Primary Liquidity Provider and the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of the initial Primary Liquidity Provider which is not a bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the provisions of Section 7.08 hereof).
 
Section 3.02 Capital Adequacy. If (1) the adoption, after the date hereof, of any applicable governmental law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, (2) any change, after the date hereof, in the interpretation or administration of any such law, rule or regulation by any central bank or other governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or (3) compliance by the Primary Liquidity Provider or any corporation controlling the Primary Liquidity Provider with any applicable guideline or request of general applicability, issued after the date hereof, by any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) that constitutes a change of the nature described in clause (2), has the effect of requiring an increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by the Primary Liquidity Provider or any corporation controlling the Primary Liquidity Provider, and such increase is based upon the Primary Liquidity Provider’s obligations hereunder and other similar obligations, the Borrower shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3.11, pay to the Primary Liquidity Provider from time to time such additional amount or amounts as are necessary to compensate the Primary Liquidity Provider for such portion of such increase as shall be reasonably allocable to the Primary Liquidity Provider’s obligations to the Borrower hereunder.
 
The Primary Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Primary Liquidity Provider to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.02 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed under this Section. Determinations by the Primary Liquidity Provider for purposes of this Section 3.02 of the effect of any increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by the Primary Liquidity Provider and of the amount allocable to the Primary Liquidity Provider’s obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts owed under this Section.
 
Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Primary Liquidity Provider and the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of the initial
 

13


Primary Liquidity Provider which is not a bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the provisions of Section 7.08 hereof).
 
Section 3.03 Payments Free of Deductions. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future Taxes of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed, other than Excluded Taxes (such non-excluded Taxes being referred to herein, collectively, as “Indemnified Taxes” and, individually, as an “Indemnified Tax”). If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Primary Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, (i) the Borrower shall within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such Taxes (including any additional Tax required to be deducted or withheld in respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) in the case of Indemnified Taxes, the amounts payable to the Primary Liquidity Provider shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Primary Liquidity Provider (after deduction or withholding for or on account of all Indemnified Taxes required to be deducted or withheld by reason of the receipt or accrual of the additional amounts payable pursuant to this clause (ii)) interest or any other such amounts payable under this Agreement at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement.
 
If the Primary Liquidity Provider (including a successor Primary Liquidity Provider) is not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, to the extent it is eligible to do so, the Primary Liquidity Provider agrees to provide to the Borrower, prior to the first date any amount is payable to it hereunder, two executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that the Primary Liquidity Provider is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, the Primary Liquidity Provider will provide, from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, such additional forms or documentation as may be necessary to establish an available exemption from (or an entitlement to a reduced rate of) withholding tax on payments hereunder. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Borrower shall furnish to the Primary Liquidity Provider the original or certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Indemnified Taxes applicable to such payment.
 
(b) If the Primary Liquidity Provider (including a successor Primary Liquidity Provider) is not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, all Advances made by the Primary Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes that are imposed by a jurisdiction in which the Primary Liquidity Provider is organized, has its Lending Office or maintains its principal place of business. If any such Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any Advances, the Primary Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional amount which (after deduction of
 

14


all such Taxes) shall be sufficient to yield to the Borrower the full amount that would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been required. The Borrower shall, for federal income tax purposes and for all purposes hereunder, treat such payments as Interest Advances, and, as such, will treat such payments as loans made by the Primary Liquidity Provider to the Borrower, unless otherwise required by law. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Primary Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable to such payment.
 
(c) If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld from amounts payable by the Primary Liquidity Provider hereunder is reasonably available to the Borrower to establish that payments under this Agreement are exempt from (or entitled to a reduced rate of) Tax, the Borrower shall deliver to the Primary Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such other evidence of the eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or reduction as the Primary Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as being required as a condition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any such Taxes.
 
Section 3.04 Payments. The Borrower shall make or cause to be made each payment to the Primary Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the same to be received by the Primary Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in U.S. dollars, to the Primary Liquidity Provider in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account of Morgan Stanley Bank, at Citibank, New York, New York, ABA No. 021000089, Account Name: MS Bank, Account No. 30463591; or to such other U.S. bank account as the Primary Liquidity Provider may from time to time direct the Subordination Agent.
 
Section 3.05 Computations. All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.
 
Section 3.06 Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional interest shall be due as a result (and if so made, shall be deemed to have been made when due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance is so deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the commencement of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce the number of days for which interest will be payable on such Advance on the next interest payment date for such Advance.
 
Section 3.07 Interest. (a) Subject to Section 2.09, the Borrower shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of such Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, from and including the date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Primary Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class G Certificates) to but excluding the
 

15


date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, the date on which the Primary Cash Collateral Account is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other amount) that is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at a fluctuating interest rate per annum for each day equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate (as defined below) for such Advance or such other amount, as the case may be, as in effect for such day, but in no event at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then any subsequent reduction in such interest rate will not reduce the rate of interest payable pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest accrued equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if such otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all times been in effect.
 
(b) Except as provided in clause (e) below, each Advance (including, without limitation, each outstanding Unapplied Downgrade Advance) will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section 3.07. Each such Advance will be a Base Rate Advance for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third Business Day following the Primary Liquidity Provider’s receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance; provided that the Borrower (at the direction of the Controlling Party, so long as the Primary Liquidity Provider is not the Controlling Party) may (x) convert the Final Advance into a Base Rate Advance on the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance by giving the Primary Liquidity Provider no less than four Business Days’ prior written notice of such election or (y) elect to maintain the Final Advance as a Base Rate Advance by not requesting a conversion of the Final Advance to a LIBOR Advance under Clause (5) of the applicable Notice of Borrowing (or, if such Final Advance is deemed to have been made, without delivery of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.06, by requesting, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day immediately following the Borrower’s receipt of the applicable Termination Notice, that such Final Advance not be converted from a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance).
 
(c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).
 
(d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance, payable in arrears on each 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).
 

16


(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. From time to time and subject to the successor Borrower’s meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.9 of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to the Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and time specified in a written and completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent in substantially the form of Annex VI attached hereto (a “Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent”) delivered to the Primary Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower designated therein shall be substituted for the Borrower for all purposes hereunder.
 
Section 3.09 Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay to the Primary Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Primary Liquidity Provider, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Primary Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Primary Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:
 
(1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance; or
 
(2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02.
 
Section 3.10 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Primary Liquidity Provider (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the 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 Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Primary Liquidity Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the judgment of the Primary Liquidity Provider, requires immediate
 

17


repayment; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change or request.
 
Section 3.11 Mitigation. If a condition arises or an event occurs which would, or would upon the giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional costs or amounts pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03 or require the conversion of any Advance pursuant to Section 3.10, the Primary Liquidity Provider, promptly upon becoming aware of the same, shall notify the Borrower and shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to mitigate the effects of such condition or event, including the designation of a different Lending Office or furnishing of the proper certificates under any applicable tax laws, tax treaties and conventions to the extent that such certificates are legally 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 additional costs in performing its obligations hereunder unless the Borrower has agreed to reimburse it therefor or (ii) be otherwise disadvantageous to the Primary Liquidity Provider in the reasonable judgment of the Primary Liquidity Provider.

23


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
 

24


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
 

25


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.
 
Section 7.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
 
Section 7.11 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. (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 of any judgment in respect hereof or thereof, to the nonexclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and the appellate courts from any thereof;
 
(ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
 
(iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially 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 Primary Liquidity
 

26


Provider each warrant and represent that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with such legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.
 
Section 7.12 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.
 
Section 7.13 Entirety. 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 all prior understandings and agreements of such parties.
 
Section 7.14 Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
 
Section 7.15 PRIMARY LIQUIDITY PROVIDER’S OBLIGATION TO MAKE ADVANCES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE PRIMARY LIQUIDITY PROVIDER TO MAKE ADVANCES HEREUNDER, AND THE BORROWER’S RIGHTS TO DELIVER NOTICES OF BORROWING REQUESTING THE MAKING OF ADVANCES HEREUNDER, SHALL BE UNCONDITIONAL AND IRREVOCABLE, AND SHALL BE PAID OR PERFORMED, IN EACH CASE STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

(Multicurrency—Cross Border)

International Swap Dealers Association, Inc.
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.
 

ISDAÒ 1992

(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:—
 
(a) Basic Representations.

(iii) No Violation or Conflict. Such execution, delivery and performance do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of its constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets;
 
(iv) Consents. All governmental and other consents that are required to have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party have been obtained and are in full force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with; and
 
(v) Obligations Binding.

(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.

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:—

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
 

ISDAÒ 1992
 
8

 

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
 

ISDAÒ 1992
 
9

 

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.

(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

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

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
 

ISDAÒ 1992
 
13

 

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.

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.

FINANCIAL GUARANTY INSURANCE COMPANY (“FGIC”), 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”):

(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

(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

-4-


 
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.

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 addition, each Trustee hereby agrees to cause the Equipment Notes purchased by the related Trust to be registered in the name of the Subordination Agent or its nominee, as agent and trustee for such Trustee, to be held in trust by the Subordination Agent solely for the purpose of facilitating the enforcement of the subordination and other provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the priority of payments specified in Section 3.2, in the event any Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Primary Cash Collateral Account resulting from an Unapplied Provider Advance are deposited in the Collection Account or the Special Payments Account, such Investment Earnings shall be used to pay interest payable in respect of such Unapplied Provider Advance to the extent of such Investment Earnings.
 
(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2 hereof, if the Subordination Agent receives any Scheduled Payment after the Scheduled Payment Date relating thereto, but prior to such payment becoming an Overdue Scheduled Payment, then the Subordination Agent shall deposit such Scheduled Payment in the Collection Account and promptly distribute such Scheduled Payment in accordance with the priority of distributions set forth in Section 3.2 hereof; provided that, for the purposes of this Section 3.3(c) only, each reference in clause "eighth" and "tenth" of Section 3.2 to "Distribution Date" shall be deemed to refer to such Scheduled Payment Date.

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)
 

 
32


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
 

 
33


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
 

 
34


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
 

 
35


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
 

 
36


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
 

 
37


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
 

 
39


(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
 

 
42


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
 

 
43


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
 

 
44


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.

ARTICLE IV
 
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
 

 
47


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.

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.

PAGE 23


 
 
8.3.3
Payment
 
(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.

PAGE 24


 
(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.
 
 
8.3.4
Contest
 
(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)

PAGE 25


 
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

PAGE 26


 
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.
 
 
8.3.5
Refund
 
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.
 
 
8.3.6
Tax Filing
 
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

PAGE 27


 
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.
 
 
8.3.7
Forms
 
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.
 
 
8.3.8
Non-Parties
 
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.
 
 
8.3.9
Subrogation
 
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.
 
 
Payments
 
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.
 
 
Interest
 
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.

PAGE 28


 
 
Benefit of Indemnities
 
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.

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.

CONTINENTAL 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 Interest Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment made on this 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

5

 
payable hereunder which are overdue, in each case for the period the same is overdue. Amounts shall be overdue if not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise).
 
There shall be maintained an Equipment Note Register for the purpose of registering 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 Original Amount and interest and other amounts due hereunder shall be payable 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 holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Equipment Note, agrees that, except 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, to the payment of Break Amount, if any, with respect to this Equipment Note, second, to the 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 due, fourth, to the payment of Premium, if any, and any other amount due hereunder or under the Trust Indenture, and fifth, the balance, if any, remaining thereafter, to the payment of the Original Amount of this Equipment Note remaining unpaid.
 
This Equipment Note is one of the Equipment Notes referred to in the Trust Indenture which have been or are to be issued by the Owner pursuant to the terms of the Trust Indenture. The Collateral is held by the Mortgagee as security, in part, for the Equipment Notes. The provisions of this Equipment Note are subject to the Trust Indenture. Reference is hereby made to the Trust Indenture for a 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 Trust Indenture, to all of which terms and conditions in the Trust Indenture each holder hereof agrees by its acceptance of this Equipment Note.
 
As provided in the Trust Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Equipment Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate Original Amount of Equipment Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the holder surrendering the same.
 
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Equipment Note, the Owner and the Mortgagee shall treat the person in whose name this Equipment Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Equipment Note be overdue, and neither the Owner nor the Mortgagee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.02.  Issuance and Terms of Equipment Notes
 
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

10

 
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.

11

 
SECTION 2.03.  [Intentionally Omitted.]
 
SECTION 2.04.  Method of Payment
 
(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

12

 
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.

13

 
SECTION 2.05.  Application of Payments
 
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).
 
SECTION 2.06.  Termination of Interest in Collateral
 
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

14

 
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.

15

 
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.
 
SECTION 2.09.  Payment of Expenses on Transfer; Cancellation
 
(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.
 
SECTION 2.10.  [Intentionally Omitted.]
 
SECTION 2.11.  Optional Redemptions of 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)

16

 
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.
 
SECTION 2.12.  Redemptions; Notice of Redemption
 
(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.

17

 
(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.
 
SECTION 2.13.  Subordination
 
(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.

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 such Event of Default shall be applied by the Mortgagee as between itself, WTC and the Note Holders in reimbursement of such expenses and any other expenses for which the Mortgagee, WTC or the Note Holders are entitled 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 Second and Third below); and in the case the aggregate amount to be so 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 with the amount of the payment or payments made by each such then existing or prior Note Holder pursuant to said Section 6.03 hereof;

Fourth,
 
the balance, if any, of such payments or amounts remaining thereafter shall be distributed to the Owner.

SECTION 3.04.  Certain Payments
 
(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

21

 
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.

SECTION 3.06.  Release of Cash Collateral

(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).
 
SECTION 3.07.  Securities Account
 
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

22

 
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.

(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

25

 
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.

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.

SECTION 4.05.  Permitted Sale or Dispositions

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.
 
SECTION 4.06.  Certain Assurances
 
(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.

27

 
(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

(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.
 
SECTION 4.08.  Indenture Obligations
 
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).

28

 
(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.

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.

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

31

 
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.

32

 
SECTION 5.03.  Return of Collateral, Etc.
 
(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.

33

 
SECTION 5.04.  Remedies Cumulative
 
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.
 
SECTION 5.05.  Discontinuance of Proceedings
 
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.
 
SECTION 5.06.  Waiver of Past Defaults
 
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.
 
SECTION 5.07.  Appointment of Receiver
 
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.

34

 
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.
 
SECTION 5.09.  Rights of Note Holders to Receive Payment
 
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.
 
ARTICLE VI
 
DUTIES OF THE MORTGAGEE
 
SECTION 6.01.  Notice of Event of Default
 
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

35

 
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.
 
SECTION 6.03.  Indemnification
 
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.

36

 
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.
 
SECTION 6.06.  Investment of Amounts Held by Mortgagee
 
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.

SECTION 7.05.  Reliance; Agreements; Advice of Counsel
 
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.

SUCCESSOR AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES
 
SECTION 9.01.  Resignation of Mortgagee; Appointment of Successor
 
(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

40

 
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.
 
SECTION 9.02.  Appointment of Additional and Separate Trustees
 
(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

41

 
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.

So long as the Equipment Notes are outstanding, by the tenth Business Day of April in 2007 and by the tenth Business Day of April in each year thereafter, the Company shall furnish the Policy Provider, the Mortgagee and the Rating Agencies an Independent Appraiser’s Certificate signed by an Independent Appraiser, dated as of a date between the preceding March 25 and April 10 (inclusive).

Section 2.3 Quarterly Reports. So long as the Equipment Notes are outstanding, within ten Business Days after each January 1 and July 1, commencing with January 1, 2007, the Company shall furnish the Policy Provider and the Trustee a Nonappraisal Compliance Report determined as of such January 1 or July 1, as applicable, or any date during such ten Business Day period thereafter.
 
Section 2.4 Special Reports.

Any such special Independent Appraiser’s Certificate shall state, in the opinion of such Independent Appraiser, based upon use of the Annual Methodology, the following:
 
 
(a)
the Fair Market Value of the Collateral (excluding any Cash Collateral and, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded Parts) as of a specified date within the Permitted Days preceding the date of such Certificate (the “Special Valuation Date” and, together with each Annual Valuation Date and Semiannual Valuation Date, the “Valuation Dates”);
 
 
(b)
the Fair Market Value of the Rotables and of the Expendables included in the Collateral as of the applicable Special Valuation Date (and shall separately state the quantity of such Rotables and Expendables); and



 
 
(c)
the Fair Market Value of the Serviceable Parts and the Unserviceable Parts included in the Collateral as of the applicable Special Valuation Date.
 
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 Certificate under this Section 2.4, the Company shall furnish to the Policy Provider (with copies to the Mortgagee and the Rating Agencies) a recent Parts Inventory Report and a report showing the percentage of the total cost of the Pledged Spare Parts located at each Company facility (determined as provided in the last sentence of Section 2.1) as of the same date as the date of such Parts 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 the Company of the principal amount of the Series G Equipment Notes outstanding, the principal amount of the Series B Equipment Notes outstanding and the Fair Market Value of any Investment Securities included in the Collateral, in each case as of any Valuation Date or for purposes of Section 3.1, promptly after the Company’s request for such information.
 
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.

The Reference Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it and the advice (to be confirmed in writing) or opinion of such counsel shall constitute full and complete authorization and protection of the Reference Agent with respect to any action taken, omitted to be taken, or suffered to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with and in reliance upon the advice to be confirmed in writing or opinion of such counsel. The Reference Agent shall not be liable for any error resulting from use of or reliance on a source or publication required to be used under Section 6 to the extent such use of or reliance on such source or publication is contemplated by Section 6.
 
SECTION 6. Duties of Reference Agent. (a) The duties and obligations of the Reference Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Reference Agent. Subject to their duty to act without negligence, neither the Reference Agent nor its directors,

officers, employees and agents guarantee the correctness or completeness of any data or other information furnished hereunder.
 
(b) For the purpose of calculating the rate of interest payable on the Series G 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.


5

 
(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 may remove the Reference Agent at any time by giving written notice to the Reference Agent and to the holders of the Class G Certificates and Class B Certificates and specifying the effective date of such removal, which shall be at least 30 days after the date of notice; provided, however, that no resignation by or removal of the Reference Agent shall become effective prior to the date of appointment by the Company, as provided in Section 10, of a successor reference agent and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor reference agent; and provided, further, that in the event that an instrument of acceptance by a successor reference agent shall not have been delivered pursuant to Section 10 within 90 days after the giving of such notice of resignation or removal, the Reference Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Reference Agent. The provisions of Sections 5, 11 and 13 hereof shall remain in effect following termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Reference Agent.

SECTION 10. Appointment of Successor Reference Agent. In the event of the resignation by or removal of the Reference Agent pursuant to Section 9, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor reference agent. Any successor reference agent appointed by the Company following resignation by or removal of the Reference Agent pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 shall execute and deliver to the incumbent Reference Agent, the Company, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustees and the Mortgagee an instrument 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 and deliver such relevant records or copies thereof maintained by the Reference Agent in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall notify the Rating Agencies of any resignation by or removal of the Reference Agent under Section 9 and of the appointment of and acceptance by any successor Reference Agent pursuant to this Section 10.
 
SECTION 11. Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Reference Agent, its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all actions, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) relating to or arising out of actions or omissions from actions in any capacity hereunder, except actions, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses caused by the negligence or wilful misconduct of the Reference Agent, its directors, officers, employees or agents. The Reference Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company for any error resulting from use of or reliance on a source or publication required to be used under Section 6. The Reference Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company for, or in respect of, any actions taken, omitted to be taken or suffered to be taken in good faith by the Reference Agent in reliance upon (a) advice to be confirmed in writing or opinion of counsel or (b) a written instruction from the Company.
 
SECTION 12. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Business by Reference Agent. Any corporation into which the Reference Agent may be merged or consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Reference Agent may be a party, or any corporation to which the Reference Agent may sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets and corporation trust business, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the Reference Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act by the parties hereto. The Reference Agent shall give notice in writing to the Company, the Subordination Agent, the Pass Through Trustees and the Mortgagee of any such merger, consolidation or sale.
 
SECTION 13. Miscellaneous. (a) If there should develop any conflict between the Reference Agent and any other Person relating to the rights or obligations of the Reference Agent in connection with calculation of the Series G Interest Rate or the Series B Interest Rate, the terms of this Agreement shall govern such rights and obligations.
 
(b) The Reference Agent agrees to cooperate with the Company and its agents, employees, directors and officers, including by providing such information as may reasonably be


7

 
requested to permit the Company or such agents, employees, directors and officers to monitor the Reference Agent’s compliance with its obligations under this Agreement.
 
(c) The Reference Agent shall not assign or delegate or otherwise subcontract this Agreement or all or any part of its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of the Company.
 
(d) THIS AGREEMENT 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.
 
(e) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
