Item
1.01 Entry into a Material
Definitive Agreement.
On
June
9, 2006, Continental Airlines, Inc. (the “Company”) and Wilmington Trust
Company, as Mortgagee, entered into the Trust Indenture and Mortgage, dated
as
of June 9, 2006 (the “Indenture”), and the Company issued equipment notes (the
“Equipment Notes”) under the Indenture in the aggregate principal amount of
$320,000,000. The Equipment Notes were issued in two series: $190,000,000
principal amount of Series G, bearing interest at the rate of USD 3-Month
LIBOR+0.35%, and $130,000,000 principal amount of Series B, bearing interest
at
the rate of USD 3-Month LIBOR+3.125%. The interest on the Equipment Notes of
both series is payable quarterly on each March 2, June 2, September 2 and
December 2, beginning on September 2, 2006. The entire principal amount of
the
Equipment Notes is due on June 2, 2013. Maturity of the Equipment Notes may
be
accelerated upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default, including failure
by the Company (in some cases after notice or the expiration of a grace period,
or both) to make payments under the Indenture when due, to comply with certain
covenants or to add collateral or redeem Equipment Notes if certain ratios
of
the value of the collateral securing the Equipment Notes to the outstanding
principal amount thereof are not satisfied, as well as certain bankruptcy events
involving the Company. The Equipment Notes are secured under the Indenture
by a
lien on certain aircraft spare parts owned by the Company.
The
Equipment Notes were purchased by Wilmington Trust Company, as pass through
trustee under certain pass through trusts newly formed by the Company, using
the
proceeds from the sale of Pass Through Certificates, Series 2006-1G, and Pass
Through Certificates, Series 2006-1B (collectively, the “Certificates”). The
Certificates were registered for offer and sale pursuant to the Securities
Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), under the Company’s automatic shelf
registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-133187) (the “Registration
Statement”). For a more detailed description of the agreements and instruments
entered into by the Company with respect to the Certificates, see the disclosure
under the captions “Description of the Certificates”, “Description of the
Liquidity Facilities for the Class G Certificates”, “Description of the Policy
and the Policy Provider Agreement for the Class G Certificates”, “Description of
the Intercreditor Agreement”, “Description of the Equipment Notes” and
“Underwriting” contained in the Company’s final Prospectus Supplement, dated May
24, 2006 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), to the Prospectus, dated April 10, 2006,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2006 pursuant
to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, which disclosure is hereby incorporated
herein by reference.
The
proceeds from the sale of the Equipment Notes were used by the Company, in
part,
to redeem on June 9, 2006, the Company’s outstanding Floating Rate Secured Notes
Due 2007 and Floating Rate Secured Subordinated Notes Due 2007 at the aggregate
redemption price of $292,673,230, comprised of principal, accrued interest
and,
in the case of such Subordinated Notes, a premium of $970,000. As a result
of
such redemption, on June 9, 2006, the Amended and Restated Indenture, dated
as
of May 9, 2003, among the Company, Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee, Morgan
Stanley Capital Services Inc., as Liquidity Provider, and MBIA Insurance
Corporation, as Policy Provider, the Spare Parts Security Agreement, dated
as of
December 6, 2002, between Wilmington Trust Company, as Security Agent, and
the
Company, and certain related agreements were terminated. The collateral that
secured the redeemed notes
was
released from the lien under such Spare Parts Security Agreement and used to
secure the newly-issued Equipment Notes.

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

MORGAN
STANLEY & CO. INCORPORATED
1585
Broadway
New
York,
New York 10036
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Continental
Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
proposes that Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee under each of the Trusts
(as
defined below) (each, a "Trustee"),
issue
and sell to Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (the "Underwriter"),
Continental Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2006-1G (the
"Class G
Certificates"),
and
Continental Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2006-1B (the
"Class B
Certificates"
and,
together with the Class G Certificates, the "Certificates"),
in
the aggregate principal amounts and with the interest rates and final expected
distribution dates set forth on Schedule I hereto on the terms and conditions
stated herein. Each Trustee will use the proceeds from the sale of the
Certificates to acquire from the Company the Equipment Notes. The Company
intends to use most of the proceeds from the sale of said Equipment Notes
to
redeem its outstanding Floating Rate Secured Notes due 2007 and Floating
Rate
Secured Subordinated Notes due 2007 (collectively, the "Existing
Notes"),
outstanding under the Amended and Restated Indenture (the "Existing
Indenture")
dated
as of May 9, 2003, among the Company, Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee,
Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc., as liquidity provider, and MBIA Insurance
Corporation, as policy provider (or, if the Company has funded such redemption
prior to receipt of such proceeds, to reimburse the Company for such funding).
The
Class
B Certificates may only be sold by the Underwriter to persons reasonably
believed by the Underwriter to be "qualified institutional buyers"
("QIBs"),
as
defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities
Act").
The
Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
an
automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File
No.333-133187)
relating
to securities, including pass through certificates (the "Shelf
Securities"),
to be
issued from time to time by the Company. The registration statement (including
the respective exhibits thereto and the respective documents filed by the
Company with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as
amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder
(collectively, the "Exchange
Act"),
that
are incorporated by reference therein), as amended to and including the date
of
this Agreement, including the information (if any) deemed to be part of the
registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act (and
the
Underwriter confirms that the first contract of sale of the Certificates
by the
Underwriter was made on the date of this Agreement), is hereinafter referred
to
as the "Registration
Statement",
and
the related prospectus covering the Shelf Securities dated April 10, 2006
filed
as part of the Registration Statement, in the form in which it has most recently
been filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement,
is
hereinafter referred to as the "Basic
Prospectus".
The
Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the final prospectus supplement
specifically relating to the Certificates in the form as first filed with
the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act in accordance
with
Section 4(d) hereof is hereinafter referred to as the "Prospectus",
and
the term "preliminary
prospectus"
means
any preliminary form of the Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to
Rule 424 under the Securities Act. For purposes of this Agreement, (i)
"free
writing prospectus"
has the
meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and (ii) "Time
of Sale Prospectus"
means
the preliminary prospectus together with the free writing prospectuses, if
any,
each identified in Schedule III hereto. As used herein, the terms "Registration
Statement", "Basic Prospectus", "preliminary prospectus", "Time of Sale
Prospectus" and "Prospectus" shall include the documents, if any, incorporated
by reference therein. The terms "supplement",
"amendment"
and
"amend"
as used
herein with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus,
the
Time of Sale Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus
shall include all documents subsequently filed by the Company with the
Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act), and incorporated by reference
therein.
The
Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pass Through Trust Agreement, dated
as
of September 25, 1997 (the "Basic
Agreement"),
between the Company and the Trustee, as supplemented with respect to the
issuance of each class of Certificates by a separate Pass Through Trust
Supplement to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below) (individually,
a "Trust
Supplement"),
between the Company and the Trustee (the Basic Agreement as supplemented
by each
such Trust Supplement being referred to herein individually as a "Pass
Through Trust Agreement").
The
Trust Supplements are related to the creation and administration of Continental
Airlines Pass Through Trust 2006-1G (the "Class G
Trust")
and
Continental Airlines Pass Through Trust 2006-1B (the "Class B
Trust"
and,
together with the Class G Trust, the "Trusts").
Certain
amounts of interest payable on the Class G Certificates will be entitled
to the
benefits of a primary liquidity facility and an above-cap liquidity facility.
Morgan Stanley Bank (the "Primary
Liquidity Provider")
will
enter into a revolving credit agreement with respect to the Class G Trust
(the "Primary
Liquidity Facility"),
to be
dated as of the Closing Date, for the benefit of the holders of the Class
G
Certificates issued by the Class G Trust. Morgan Stanley Capital Services
Inc.
(the "Above-Cap
Liquidity Provider")
will
enter into an interest rate cap agreement with respect to the Class G Trust
(the "Above-Cap
Liquidity Facility"
and,
together
with
the
Primary Liquidity Facility, the "Liquidity
Facilities"),
to be
dated as of the Closing Date, for the benefit of the holders of the Class
G
Certificates issued by the Class G Trust. The Liquidity Facilities will not
cover any amounts payable in respect of the Class B Certificates.
Payments
of interest on the Class G Certificates will be supported by a financial
guaranty insurance policy for the Class G Trust (the "Policy")
issued
by Financial Guaranty Insurance Company, as policy provider (the "Policy
Provider"),
to
the extent the Liquidity Facilities and any funds contained in the cash
collateral account funded from the Primary Liquidity Facility or the Above-Cap
Account funded from the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility, are insufficient or
unavailable for that purpose. The Policy will also support the payment of
the
final distributions on the Class G Certificates and will take effect in certain
other circumstances described in the Intercreditor Agreement and the Policy.
The
Policy will be issued pursuant to an Insurance and Indemnity Agreement to
be
dated as of the Closing Date (the "Policy
Provider Agreement")
among
the Policy Provider, the Company and the Subordination Agent. Under the
Intercreditor Agreement and the Policy Provider Agreement, the Policy Provider
will be entitled to reimbursement for amounts paid pursuant to claims made
under
the Policy, subject to certain limitations. The Class B Certificates will
not be
entitled to the benefits of the Policy or any other financial guaranty insurance
policy.
The
Primary Liquidity Provider, the Above-Cap Liquidity Provider, the Trustees
on
behalf of the holders of the Certificates and the Policy Provider will be
entitled to the benefits of an Intercreditor Agreement to be dated as of

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

terms used but not defined in this Underwriting Agreement (the "Agreement")
shall
have the meanings specified therefor in the Pass Through Trust Agreement,
the
Note Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) or the
Intercreditor Agreement; provided
that, as
used in this Agreement, the term "Operative
Agreements"
shall
mean the Intercreditor Agreement, the Liquidity Facilities, the Policy, the
Pass
Through Trust Agreements, the Policy Provider Agreement, the Reference Agency
Agreement, the Collateral Maintenance Agreement, the Indenture, the Note
Purchase Agreement, the Equipment Notes, the Certificates and the
Indemnification Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the "Indemnification
Agreement"),
among
the Policy Provider, the Company and the Underwriter.
1. Representations
and Warranties.
(a) The
Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Underwriter that:
(i) The
Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities
Act; the Registration Statement has become effective; and, on the original
effective date of the Registration Statement, the Registration Statement
complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities
Act;
no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
is in
effect, and no proceedings for such purpose are pending before or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission. The Registration
Statement is an "automatic
shelf registration statement"
(as
defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) and the Company is a "well-known
seasoned issuer"
(as
defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) eligible to use the Registration
Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement, and the Company has
not
received notice that the Commission objects to the use of the Registration
Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement. The Registration
Statement does not, as of the date hereof, include any untrue statement of
a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. As of its date
and
on the Closing Date, the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented, if the
Company
shall have made any amendment or supplement thereto, does not and will not
include an untrue statement of a material fact and does not and will not
omit to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
The
Registration Statement, as of the date hereof, complies and the Prospectus
complies, and as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will comply in all
material respects with the Securities Act and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Time of Sale Prospectus did
not,
as of 5 p.m., Eastern Time, on the date of this Agreement (the "Applicable
Time"),
and
the Time of Sale Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented by the Company,
if
applicable, will not as of the Closing Date, contain any untrue statement
of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The
preceding sentences do not apply to (x) statements in or omissions from the
Registration Statement, the
Time
of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus based
upon (A) written
information furnished to the Company by
the
Underwriter expressly for use therein,
(B) information under the caption "Description of the Policy Provider", the
third paragraph under the caption "Experts" or Appendix III in the Prospectus
or
documents incorporated by reference thereunder (collectively, the "Policy
Provider Information")
or (C)
statements
or omissions in that part of each Registration Statement which shall constitute
the Statement of Eligibility of the Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act
of
1939, as amended (the "Trust
Indenture Act"),
on
Form T-1.
(ii) The
documents incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the
Prospectus (excluding any Policy Provider Information comprising documents
incorporated by reference) pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities
Act, at the time they were filed with the Commission or hereafter, during
the
period mentioned in Section 4(a) hereof, are filed with the Commission, complied
or will comply, as the case may be, in all material respects with the
requirements of the Exchange Act.
(iii) The
Company is not an
"ineligible issuer" in connection with the offering of the Certificates pursuant
to Rules 164, 405 and 433 under the Securities Act. Any free writing prospectus
that the Company is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the
Securities Act has been, or will be, filed with the Commission in accordance
with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder. Each free writing prospectus that
the
Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under
the
Securities Act complies or will comply in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations
of
the Commission thereunder. Except for the free writing
prospectuses,
if any, identified in Schedule III hereto, the Company has not prepared,
used or
referred to, any free writing prospectus in connection with the offering
of the
Certificates.
(iv) The
Company has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate power and
authority to own, lease and operate its property and to conduct its business
as
described in the Time of Sale Prospectus; and the Company is duly qualified
to
do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in all other jurisdictions
in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business
requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified
would
not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise),
business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole (a "Continental
Material Adverse Effect").
(v) Each
of
Continental Micronesia, Inc. and Air Micronesia Inc. (together, the
"Subsidiaries")
has
been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good standing under
the
laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, with corporate power and
authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business
as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus; and each Subsidiary is duly
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in all
other
jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct
of its
business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so
qualified would not have a Continental Material Adverse Effect; all of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary has been duly authorized
and validly issued and is fully paid and nonassessable; and, except as described
in the Time of Sale Prospectus, each Subsidiary's capital stock owned by
the
Company, directly or through subsidiaries, is owned free from liens,
encumbrances and defects.
(vi) Except
as
described in the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Company is not in default in
the
performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition
contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease
or
other instrument to which it is a party or by which it may be bound or to
which
any of its properties may be subject, except for such defaults that would
not
have a Continental Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the Operative Agreements to which the Company
is or will be a party and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated herein and therein have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action of the Company and will not result in any breach of any
of the
terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result
in
the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than
any
lien, charge or encumbrance created under any Operative Agreement) upon any
property or assets of the Company pursuant to any indenture, loan agreement,
contract, mortgage, note, lease or other instrument to which the Company
is a
party or by which the Company may be bound or to which any of the property
or
assets of the Company is subject, which breach, default, lien, charge or
encumbrance, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Continental Material
Adverse Effect, nor will any such execution, delivery or performance result
in
any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws of the Company
or any
statute, any rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body
or any
court having jurisdiction over the Company.
(vii) No
consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental
agency or body or any court is required for the valid authorization, execution
and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the Operative Agreements
to
which it is or will be a party and for the consummation of the transactions
contemplated herein and therein, except (x) such as may be required under
the
Securities Act, the Trust Indenture Act, the securities or "blue sky" or
similar
laws of the various states and of foreign jurisdictions or rules and regulations
of the NASD, Inc. ("NASD"),
and
(y) filings or recordings with the Federal Aviation Administration (the
"FAA")
and
under the Uniform Commercial Code (the "UCC")
or
other laws in effect in any applicable jurisdiction governing the perfection
of
security interests, which filings or recordings referred to in this clause
(y)
shall have been made, or duly presented for filing or recordation, or shall
be
in the process of being duly filed or filed for recordation, on or prior
to the
Closing Date.
(viii) This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Operative
Agreements to which the Company will be a party will be duly executed and
delivered by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date.
(ix) The
Operative Agreements to which the Company is or will be a party, when duly
executed and delivered by the Company, assuming that such Operative Agreements
have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and constitute the
legal,
valid and binding obligations of, each other party thereto, will constitute
valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with
their terms, except (w) as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent
transfers), reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter
in
effect relating to creditors' rights generally, (x) as enforcement thereof
is
subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement
is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), (y) that the enforceability
of
the Indenture may also be limited by applicable laws which may affect the
remedies provided therein but which do not affect the validity of the Indenture
or make such remedies inadequate for the practical realization of the benefits
intended to be provided thereby and (z) with respect to indemnification and
contribution provisions, as enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable
law. The Basic Agreement as executed is substantially in the form filed as
an
exhibit to the Company's current report on Form 8-K dated September 25, 1997
and
has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. The Certificates and
the
Pass Through Trust Agreements will, upon execution and delivery thereof,
conform
in all material respects to the descriptions thereof in the Time of Sale
Prospectus.
(x) The

(a) During

Company
shall advise the Underwriter promptly of any proposal to amend or supplement
the
Registration Statement, Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus (except
by
documents filed under the Exchange Act) and will not effect such amendment
or
supplement (except by documents filed under the Exchange Act) without the
consent of the Underwriter, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
If,
at any time after the public offering of the Certificates, the Prospectus
(or in
lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act)
is
required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of the Certificates
by
the Underwriter or a dealer, any event shall occur as a result of which it
is
necessary to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the
Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred
to in
Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, not
misleading in any material respect, or if it is necessary to amend the
Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with
law,
the Company shall prepare and furnish at its expense to the Underwriter and
to
the dealers (whose names and addresses the Underwriter will furnish to the
Company) to which Certificates may have been sold by the Underwriter and
to any
other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus
so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will
not,
in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof
the
notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is delivered
to a
purchaser, be misleading in any material respect or amendments or supplements
to
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, will comply with law and
cause
such amendments or supplements to be filed promptly with the
Commission.
(b) During
the period mentioned in paragraph (a) above, the Company shall notify the
Underwriter immediately of (i) the effectiveness of any amendment to the
Registration Statement, (ii) the transmittal to the Commission for filing
of any supplement to the Prospectus or any document that would as a result
thereof be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, (iii) the receipt
of any comments from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus, (iv) any request by the Commission to the Company for
any amendment to the Registration Statement or any supplement to the Prospectus
or for additional information relating thereto or to any document incorporated
by reference in the Prospectus and (v) receipt by the Company of any notice
of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement, the suspension of the qualification of the
Certificates for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the institution
or
threatening of any proceeding for any of such purposes; and the Company agrees
to use every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any such stop order
and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest
possible moment and the Company shall (subject to the proviso to Section
4(i))
endeavor, in cooperation with the Underwriter, to prevent the issuance of
any
such stop order suspending such qualification and, if any such order is issued,
to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.
(c) During
the period mentioned in paragraph (a) above, the Company will furnish to
the Underwriter as many conformed copies of the Registration Statement (as
originally filed), Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, and all amendments
and supplements to such documents (excluding all exhibits and documents filed
therewith or incorporated by reference therein) and as many conformed copies
of
all consents and certificates of experts, in each case as soon as available
and
in such quantities as the Underwriter reasonably requests.
(d) Promptly
following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will prepare a Prospectus
that complies with the Securities Act and that sets forth the principal amount
of the Certificates and their terms not otherwise specified in the preliminary
prospectus or the Basic Prospectus included in the Registration Statement,
the
name of the Underwriter and the principal amount of the Certificates, the
price
at which the Certificates are to be purchased by the Underwriter from the
Trustee, any initial public offering price, any selling concession and
reallowance and any delayed delivery arrangements, and such other information
as
the Underwriter and the Company deem appropriate in connection with the offering
of the Certificates. The Company will timely transmit copies of the Prospectus
to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities
Act.
(e) The
Company shall furnish to the Underwriter a copy of each free
writing prospectus relating to the offering of the Certificates prepared
by or
on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company and shall not use or
refer
to any proposed free writing prospectus to which the Underwriter reasonably
objects.
(f) If
the
Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Certificates
at a time when a Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers
and
any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary
to
amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances when delivered to a prospective
purchaser, not misleading in any material respect, or if any event shall
occur
or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts
with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file,
or if
it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to comply
with applicable law, the Company shall forthwith prepare, file promptly with
the
Commission and furnish, at the Company's expense, to the Underwriter and
to the
dealers (whose names and addresses the Underwriter will furnish to the Company)
to which Certificates may have been sold by the Underwriter and to any other
dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale
Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended
or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when delivered
to a
prospective purchaser, be misleading in any material respect or so that the
Time
of Sale Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict
with
the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended
or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.
(g) The
Company shall, in cooperation with the Underwriter, endeavor to arrange for
the
qualification of the Certificates for offer and sale under the applicable
securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United States
as the
Underwriter reasonably designates and will endeavor to maintain such
qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the
Certificates; provided
that the
Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as
a dealer in securities, (ii) file a general consent to service of process
or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.
(h) During
the period of ten years after the Closing Date, the Company will promptly
furnish to the Underwriter, upon request, copies of all Annual Reports on
Form
10-K and any definitive proxy statement of the Company filed with the
Commission; provided
that
providing a website address at which such Annual Reports and any such definitive
proxy statements may be accessed will satisfy this clause (h).
(i) If
the
third anniversary of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement
occurs before all the Certificates have been sold by the Underwriter, prior
to
the third anniversary, the Company shall file a new shelf registration statement
and take any other action necessary to permit the public offering of the
Certificates to continue without interruption, in which case references herein
to the Registration Statement shall include the new registration statement
as it
shall become effective.
(j) Between
the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Company shall not, without
the prior written consent of the Underwriter, offer, sell, or enter into
any
agreement to sell (as public debt securities registered under the Securities
Act
(other than the Certificates) or as debt securities which may be resold in
a
transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
in
reliance on Rule 144A thereunder and which are marketed through the use of
a
disclosure document containing substantially the same information as a
prospectus for similar debt securities registered under the Securities Act),
any
equipment notes, pass through certificates, equipment trust certificates
or
equipment purchase certificates secured by aircraft spare parts owned by
the
Company (or rights relating thereto).
(k) The
Company shall prepare a final term sheet relating to the offering of the
Certificates, containing only information that describes the final terms
of the
Certificates or the offering in a form consented to by the Underwriter and

under the Securities Act following the date the final terms have been
established for the offering of the Certificates.
(l) It
is
contemplated that the Company shall use part of the funds raised hereby to
redeem the Existing Notes. Prior to any such redemption, (i) the Company
shall
comply with all conditions precedent for redemption of the Existing Notes
set
forth in Article 4 of the Existing Indenture and any other applicable sections
of the Existing Indenture, subject to the receipt of the proceeds from the

Section 5(b) shall not prevent the Underwriter from transmitting or otherwise
making use of one or more customary “Bloomberg Screens” to offer the
Certificates or convey final pricing terms thereof that contain only information
contained in the Time of Sale Prospectus.
6. Indemnification
and Contribution.
(a) The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, and each Person,
if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of either
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including,
without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Underwriter or any such controlling person in connection with defending or
investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any
"issuer
free writing prospectus"
as
defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information
that
the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under
the
Securities Act or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or
caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not
misleading, except insofar as any of the aforementioned losses, claims, damages
or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged
untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished to the Company
in
writing by or through the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration
Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer
free writing prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto (the "Underwriter
Information")
or
Policy Provider Information.
(b) The
Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors,
its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any,
who
controls
the Company, within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act
or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing
indemnity from the Company to the Underwriter but only with reference to
the
Underwriter Information.
(c) In
case
any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted
involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
to
either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the "indemnified
party")
shall
promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the
"indemnifying
party")
in
writing. The indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall,
and the indemnifying party may elect to, retain counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others
the
indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and the indemnifying
party
shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding.
In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain
its
own
counsel,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the
named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation
of both
parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall
have failed to retain counsel as required by the prior sentence to represent
the
indemnified party within a reasonable amount of time. It is understood that
the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related
proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses
of
more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such
indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed
as
they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriter
in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (a) above and by
the
Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (b) above.
The
indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or
if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees
to
indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by
reason
of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if
at
any time an indemnified party shall have requested in writing an indemnifying
party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel
as
contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph (c), the
indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
entered into more than 90 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of
the
aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have
reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to
the
date of such settlement, unless such fees and expenses are being disputed
in
good faith. The indemnifying party at any time may, subject to the last sentence
of this paragraph (c), settle or compromise any proceeding described in this
paragraph (c), at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying
party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect
any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have
been
sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i) includes
an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on
claims
that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include
a
statement
as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on
behalf of an indemnified party.
(d) To
the
extent the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section
6 is required to be made but is unavailable to an indemnified party or
insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred
to therein, then the applicable indemnifying party under such paragraph,
in lieu
of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and
the
Underwriter, on the other hand, from the offering of such Certificates or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted
by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only
the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative
fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other
hand,
in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one
hand,
and the Underwriter, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of
such
Certificates shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as
the
proceeds from the offering of such Certificates received by the Trusts (before
deducting expenses), less total underwriting discounts and commissions received
by the Underwriter, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions
received by the Underwriter, in each case as set forth on the cover of the
Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of such
Certificates. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of
the
Underwriter, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among
other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company or information supplied by the Underwriter, and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) The
Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just or equitable
if
contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account
of
the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount
paid
or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages
and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this
Section 6, the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Certificates
underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public
exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriter has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
(f) The
indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 6 and the
representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement
shall
remain
operative
and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this
Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter
or any person controlling the Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company,
its
officers or directors or any person controlling the Company, and
(iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Certificates. The remedies
provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any
rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party
at
law or in equity.
7. Survival
of Certain Representations and Obligations.
The
respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other
statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriter set forth
in or
made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless
of any termination of this Agreement, any investigation, or statement as
to the
results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Underwriter, the Company or
any of
their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling
person and will survive delivery of and payment for the Certificates. If
for any
reason the purchase of the Certificates by the Underwriter is not consummated,
the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed
by it pursuant to Section 9 hereof and the respective obligations of the
Company and the Underwriter pursuant to Section 6 hereof shall remain in
effect. If the purchase of the Certificates by the Underwriter is not
consummated for any reason other than solely because of the occurrence of
the
termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Company will
reimburse the Underwriter for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriter
in
connection with the offering of such Certificates and comply with its
obligations under Sections 6 and 9 hereof.
8. Termination.
This
Agreement shall be subject to termination by notice given by the Underwriter
to
the Company, if (a) after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been materially
suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the
New
York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market,
(ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on
any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium
on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by
either
Federal or New York State authorities, (iv) there shall have occurred any
attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving,
the United States, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or
crisis
that, in each case, in the Underwriter’s judgment, is material and adverse or
(v) any major disruption of settlements of securities or clearance services
in
the United States that would materially impair settlement and clearance with
respect to the Certificates and (b) in the case of any of the events
specified in clauses (a)(i) through (v), such event singly or together with
any
other such event makes it, in the Underwriter’s judgment, impracticable to
market the Certificates on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the
Time
of Sale Prospectus.
9. Payment
of Expenses.
As
between the Company and the Underwriter, the Company shall pay all expenses
incidental to the performance of the Company's obligations under this Agreement,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Certificateholders”)
prior

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

September 25,
1997 (the “Basic
Agreement”),
between the Trustee and Continental Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the
“Company”),
as
supplemented by Trust Supplement No. 2006-1G thereto, dated as of June 9,
2006 (the “Trust
Supplement”
and,
together with the Basic Agreement, the “Agreement”),
between the Trustee and the Company, a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined
herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them
in
the Agreement. This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates
designated as “Continental Airlines Pass Through Certificates,
Series 2006-1G” (herein called the “Certificates”).
This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement. By virtue of its acceptance hereof, the holder
of
this Certificate (the “Certificateholder”
and,
together with all other holders of Certificates issued by the Trust, the
“Certificateholders”)
assents to and agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Agreement and the
Intercreditor Agreement. The property of the Trust includes an Equipment Note
and all rights of the Trust to receive payments under the Intercreditor
Agreement, the NPA, the Policy, the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility and the Primary
Liquidity Facility (the “Trust
Property”).
The
Equipment Note is secured by, among other things, a security interest in certain
aircraft spare parts owned by the Company.
The
Certificates represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust and the
Trust
Property and have no rights, benefits or interest in respect of any other
separate trust established pursuant to the terms of the Basic Agreement for
any
other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto.
Subject
to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor
Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be distributed
on March 2, June 2, September 2 and December 2 of each year (or, in any such
case, if not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (each, a
“Regular
Distribution Date”)
commencing on September 2, 2006, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the Regular
Distribution Date, an amount in respect of the Scheduled Payments on the
Equipment Note due on such Regular Distribution Date, the receipt of which
has
been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest
in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of
such Scheduled Payments. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that Special Payments
on
the Equipment Note are received by the Trustee, from funds then available to
the
Trustee, there shall be distributed on the applicable Special Distribution
Date,
to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the 15th day preceding the Special Distribution Date, an amount
in respect of such Special Payments on the Equipment Note, the receipt of which
has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage
interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to
the
sum of such Special Payments so received. If a Special Distribution Date is
not
a Business Day, distribution shall be made on the immediately following Business
Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Special Distribution
Date
and interest shall accrue during the intervening period. The Trustee shall
mail
notice of each Special Payment and the Special Distribution Date therefor to
the
Certificateholder of this Certificate.
Distributions
on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the Person
entitled thereto, without presentation or surrender of this Certificate or
the
making of any notation hereon, except that with respect to Certificates
registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee),
such distribution shall be made by wire transfer. Except as otherwise provided
in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this
Certificate will be made after notice mailed by the Trustee of the pendency
of
such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in such notice.
The
Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or an obligation
guaranteed by, or an interest in, the Company or the Trustee or any affiliate
thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more
specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement. All payments
or
distributions made to Certificateholders under the Agreement shall be made
only
from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Trustee shall have
sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such payments
in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Each Certificateholder of this
Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the
income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for
distribution to such Certificateholder as provided in the Agreement. This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made
to
the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations, privileges, and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement
may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the
Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by any
Certificateholder upon request.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders holding
Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less
than
a majority in interest in the Trust. Any such consent by the Certificateholder
of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder
and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender
of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies
maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Registrar, or by any successor
Registrar, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in
form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the
Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust will
be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
minimum denominations of $1,000 Fractional Undivided Interest or integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate may be issued
in a different denomination. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, as requested by the
Certificateholder surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Each
Certificateholder and Investor, by its acceptance of this Certificate or a
beneficial interest herein, agrees to treat the Trust as a grantor trust for
all
U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.
The
Trustee, the Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee or the Registrar may treat
the person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for
all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Registrar nor any such agent shall
be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
The
obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the Trust created
thereby shall terminate upon the distribution to Certificateholders of all
amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement and the
disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Property.
Any
Person acquiring or accepting this Certificate or an interest herein will,
by
such acquisition or acceptance, be deemed to have represented and warranted
to
and for the benefit of the Company that either: (i) the assets of an
employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”),
or of
a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”),
have
not been used to purchase this Certificate or an interest herein or
(ii) the purchase and holding of this Certificate or an interest herein are
exempt from the prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA and the Code
pursuant to one or more prohibited transaction statutory or administrative
exemptions.
THE
AGREEMENT AND THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK
AND
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF
NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER
SHALL
BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee,
by
manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under
the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

THIS

FORM
TO THE PASS THROUGH TRUSTEE. THE PASS THROUGH TRUST AGREEMENT CONTAINS A
PROVISION REQUIRING THE REGISTRAR TO REFUSE TO REGISTER ANY TRANSFER OF THIS
CERTIFICATE IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.
Section 3.03.
Amendment
of Sections 3.04 and 3.05 of the Basic Agreement.
Sections 3.04 and 3.05 of this Trust Supplement supersede and replace
Sections 3.04 and 3.05 of the Basic Agreement, with respect to the
Applicable Trust.
Section 3.04.
Transfer
and Exchange.
The
Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained by
it in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.12 of the Basic Agreement a
register (the “Register”)
of the
Applicable Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as
it
may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of such Applicable
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of such Applicable Certificates
as
herein provided. The Trustee shall initially be the registrar (the “Registrar”)
for
the purpose of registering such Applicable Certificates and transfers and
exchanges of such Applicable Certificates as herein provided.
All
Applicable Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange
of
Applicable Certificates shall be valid obligations of the Applicable Trust,
evidencing the same interest therein, and entitled to the same benefits under
this Agreement, as the Applicable Certificates surrendered upon such
registration of transfer or exchange.
An
Applicable Certificateholder may transfer, in whole or in part, an Applicable
Certificate, or request that an Applicable Certificate be exchanged, in whole
or
in part, for Applicable Certificates in authorized denominations in an aggregate
Fractional Undivided Interest equal to the Fractional Undivided Interest of
such
Applicable Certificate surrendered for
exchange
of other authorized denominations, by surrender of such Applicable Certificate
to the Trustee with the form of transfer notice thereon duly completed and
executed, and otherwise complying with the terms of the Agreement, including
providing evidence of compliance with any restrictions on transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar. No such transfer shall be
effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of an Applicable
Certificateholder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer
by the Registrar in the Register. Prior to the registration of any transfer
by
an Applicable Certificateholder as provided herein, the Trustee shall treat
the
person in whose name the Applicable Certificate is registered as the owner
thereof for all purposes, and the Trustee shall not be affected by notice to
the
contrary. When Applicable Certificates are presented to the Registrar with
a
request to register the transfer thereof or to exchange them for other
authorized denominations of an Applicable Certificate in a Fractional Undivided
Interest equal to the aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest of Applicable
Certificates surrendered for exchange, the Registrar shall register the transfer
or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions
are
met.
The
Registrar shall not register the transfer or exchange of any Applicable
Certificate in the name of any Person unless and until evidence satisfactory
to
the Company and the Trustee that the conditions to any such transfer or exchange
set forth in Section 3.05 shall have been satisfied is submitted to them.
Such conditions shall be deemed satisfied with respect to a transfer
if the transferor and transferee duly execute and deliver to the
Trustee the transfer notice in the form attached to the Applicable
Certificates, unless the Company or the Trustee has a reasonable basis for
requesting additional evidence.
To
permit
registrations of transfers and exchanges in accordance with the terms,
conditions and restrictions hereof, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate
Applicable Certificates at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be
made to an Applicable Certificateholder for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Applicable Certificates, but the Trustee shall require payment
of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Applicable Certificates. All
Applicable Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee.
(a) Transfers
Limited to QIBs.
If an
Applicable Certificate is to be transferred, the Registrar shall register the
transfer only if such transfer is being made to a proposed transferee who has
provided the transfer notice attached to the form of Applicable Certificate
stating that it is purchasing the Applicable Certificate for its own account
or
an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and
that it and any such account is a QIB within the meaning of
Rule 144A.
(b) Restricted
Legend.
Upon
the transfer, exchange or replacement of Applicable Certificates, the Registrar
shall deliver only Applicable Certificates that bear the Restricted
Legend.
(c) General.
By
acceptance of any Applicable Certificate, each Holder of such an Applicable
Certificate will be deemed to:
(i)
Represent
that it is accepting such Applicable Certificate for its own account or an
account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that
it and any such account is a QIB;
(ii)
Agree
that any sale or other transfer by it of any Applicable Certificate will only
be
made to a QIB;
(iii)
Agree
that it will deliver to each person to whom it transfers Applicable Certificates
notice of these restrictions on transfer of the Applicable Certificates;
(iv)
Agree
that no registration of the transfer of an Applicable Certificate will be made
unless the transferee completes and submits to the Trustee the form included
on
the reverse of the Applicable Certificate in which it states that it is
purchasing the Applicable Certificate for its own account or an account with
respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any
such account is a QIB;
(v)
Understand
that the Applicable Certificates will bear a legend substantially to the effect
of the Restricted Legend;
(vi)
Acknowledge
that the Company, the Trustee, the Underwriter, and others will rely on the
truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties
and agreements and agree that, if any of the acknowledgments, representations,
warranties and agreements deemed to have been made by its purchase of the
Applicable Certificates is no longer accurate, it shall promptly notify the
Company, the Trustee and the Underwriter. If it is acquiring any Applicable
Certificates as a fiduciary or agent of one or more investor accounts, it
represents that it has sole investment discretion with respect to each such
investor account and that it has full power to make the foregoing
acknowledgments, representations and agreements on behalf of each such investor
account;
(vii)
Acknowledge
that the foregoing restrictions apply to holders of beneficial interests in
the
Applicable Certificates as well as to registered holders of Applicable
Certificates; and
(viii)
Acknowledge
that the Trustee will not be required to accept for registration of transfer
any
Applicable Certificate unless evidence satisfactory to the Company and the
Trustee that the restrictions on transfer set forth herein have been complied
with is submitted to them.
Until
such time as no Applicable Certificates remain Outstanding, the Registrar shall
retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received
pursuant to this Section 3.05. The Trustee, if not the Registrar at such
time, shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters,
notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving
of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

created by Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”),
pursuant to a Pass Through Trust Agreement, dated as of
September 25,
1997 (the “Basic
Agreement”),
between the Trustee and Continental Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the
“Company”),
as
supplemented by Trust Supplement No. 2006-1B thereto, dated as of June 9,
2006 (the “Trust
Supplement”
and,
together with the Basic Agreement, the “Agreement”),
between the Trustee and the Company, a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined
herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them
in
the Agreement. This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates
designated as “Continental Airlines Pass Through Certificates,
Series 2006-1B” (herein called the “Certificates”).
This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement. By virtue of its acceptance hereof, the holder
of
this Certificate (the “Certificateholder”
and,
together with all other holders of Certificates issued by the Trust, the
“Certificateholders”)
assents to and agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Agreement and the
Intercreditor Agreement. The property of the Trust includes an Equipment Note
and all rights of the Trust to receive payments under the Intercreditor
Agreement and the NPA (the “Trust
Property”).
The
Equipment Note is secured by, among other things, a security interest in certain
aircraft spare parts owned by the Company.
The
Certificates represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust and the
Trust
Property and have no rights, benefits or interest in respect of any other
separate trust established pursuant to the terms of the Basic Agreement for
any
other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto.
Subject
to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor
Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be distributed
on March 2, June 2, September 2 and December 2 of each year (or, in any such
case, if not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (each, a
“Regular
Distribution Date”)
commencing on September 2, 2006, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the Regular
Distribution Date, an amount in respect of the Scheduled Payments on the
Equipment Note due on such Regular Distribution Date, the receipt of which
has
been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest
in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of
such Scheduled Payments. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that Special Payments
on
the Equipment Note are received by the Trustee, from funds then available to
the
Trustee, there shall be distributed on the applicable Special Distribution
Date,
to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the 15th day preceding the Special Distribution Date, an amount
in respect of such Special Payments on the Equipment Note, the receipt of which
has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage
interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to
the
sum of such Special Payments so received. If a Special Distribution Date is
not
a Business Day, distribution shall be made on the immediately following Business
Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Special Distribution
Date
and interest shall accrue during the intervening period. The Trustee shall
mail
notice of each Special Payment and the Special Distribution Date therefor to
the
Certificateholder of this Certificate.
Distributions
on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the Person
entitled thereto, without presentation or surrender of this Certificate or
the
making of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement
and
notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will
be
made after notice mailed by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution
and
only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency
of the Trustee specified in such notice.
The
Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or an obligation
guaranteed by, or an interest in, the Company or the Trustee or any affiliate
thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more
specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement. All payments
or
distributions made to Certificateholders under the Agreement shall be made
only
from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Trustee shall have
sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such payments
in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Each Certificateholder of this
Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the
income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for
distribution to such Certificateholder as provided in the Agreement. This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made
to
the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations, privileges, and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement
may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the
Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by any
Certificateholder upon request.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders holding
Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less
than
a majority in interest in the Trust. Any such consent by the Certificateholder
of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder
and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender
of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies
maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Registrar, or by any successor
Registrar, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in
form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the
Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust will
be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
minimum denominations of $1,000 Fractional Undivided Interest or integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate may be issued
in a different denomination. As
provided
in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, as
requested by the Certificateholder surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Each
Certificateholder and Investor, by its acceptance of this Certificate or a
beneficial interest herein, agrees to treat the Trust as a grantor trust for
all
U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.
The
Trustee, the Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee or the Registrar may treat
the person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for
all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Registrar nor any such agent shall
be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
The
obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the Trust created
thereby shall terminate upon the distribution to Certificateholders of all
amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement and the
disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Property.
Any
Person acquiring or accepting this Certificate or an interest herein will,
by
such acquisition or acceptance, be deemed to have represented and warranted

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

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

to
exceed the Maximum Commitment.
Section
2.02 Making
the Advances.
(a)
Interest Advances shall be made in one or more Borrowings by delivery to the

Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount not exceeding the Maximum
Available Commitment at such time and shall be used solely for the payment
when
due of interest with respect to the Class G Certificates at the Stated Interest
Rate for the applicable Interest Period (calculated assuming that Continental

Intercreditor Agreement. Each Interest Advance made hereunder shall
automatically reduce the Maximum Available Commitment and the amount available
to be borrowed hereunder by subsequent Advances by the amount of such Interest
Advance (subject to reinstatement as provided in the next sentence). Upon
repayment to the Primary Liquidity Provider in full or in part of the amount
of
any Interest Advance made pursuant to this Section 2.02(a), together with
accrued interest thereon (as provided herein), the Maximum Available Commitment
shall be reinstated by an amount equal to the amount of such Interest Advance
so
repaid but not to exceed the Maximum Commitment; provided,
however,
that
the Maximum Available Commitment shall not be so reinstated at any time if
(x)
any Equipment Note is a Non-Performing Equipment Note and a Liquidity Event
of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (y) a Final Advance has been
made.
(b) A
Non-Extension Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing if this Agreement
is
not extended in accordance with Section 3.5(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement
(unless a Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility to replace this Agreement
shall
have been delivered to the Borrower as contemplated by said Section 3.5(d)
within the time period specified in such Section 3.5(d)) by delivery to the
Primary Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of Borrowing in
substantially the form of Annex II attached hereto, signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the Maximum Available Commitment
at such time, and shall be used to fund the Primary Cash Collateral Account
in
accordance with such Section 3.5(d) and Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor
Agreement.
(c) A
Downgrade Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing upon the occurrence of
a
Downgrade Event (as provided for in Section 3.5(c) of the Intercreditor
Agreement)
unless a Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility to replace this Agreement shall
have been previously delivered to the Borrower in accordance with
Section 3.5(c), by delivery to the Primary Liquidity Provider of a written
and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex III
attached hereto, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount
equal to the Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to
fund the Primary Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Sections 3.5(c)
and
3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
(d) A
Final
Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing upon the receipt by the Borrower
of
a Termination Notice from the Primary Liquidity Provider pursuant to Section
6.01 hereof by delivery to the Primary Liquidity Provider of a written and
completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex IV attached
hereto, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal
to
the Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to fund the
Primary Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Sections 3.5(f) and 3.5(i)
of
the Intercreditor Agreement.
(e) Each
Borrowing shall be made on notice in writing (a “Notice
of Borrowing”)
in
substantially the form required by Section 2.02(a), 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d),
as the case may be, given by the Borrower to the Primary Liquidity Provider.
Each Notice of Borrowing shall be effective upon delivery of a copy thereof
to
the Primary Liquidity Provider’s office at the address specified in Section
7.02. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of any
Borrowing no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day,
upon
satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect
to a requested Borrowing, the Primary Liquidity Provider shall make available
to
the Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, the amount of such
Borrowing in U.S. dollars and immediately available funds, before 4:00 p.m.
(New
York City time) on such Business Day or on such later Business Day specified
in
such Notice of Borrowing. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower
in respect of any Borrowing on a day that is not a Business Day or after 12:00
p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing,
the
Primary Liquidity Provider shall make available to the Borrower, in accordance
with its payment instructions, the amount of such Borrowing in U.S. dollars
and
in immediately available funds, before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the
first Business Day next following the day of receipt of such Notice of Borrowing
or on such later Business Day specified by the Borrower in such Notice of
Borrowing. Payments of proceeds of a Borrowing shall be made by wire transfer
of
immediately available funds to the Borrower in accordance with such wire
transfer instructions as the Borrower shall furnish from time to time to the
Primary Liquidity Provider for such purpose. Each Notice of Borrowing shall
be
irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.
(f) Upon
the
making of any Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing in accordance
with the Borrower’s payment instructions, the Primary Liquidity Provider shall
be fully discharged of its obligation hereunder with respect to such Notice
of
Borrowing, and the Primary Liquidity Provider shall not thereafter be obligated
to make any further Advances hereunder in respect of such Notice of Borrowing
to
the Borrower or to any other Person. If the Primary Liquidity Provider makes
an
Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing before 12:00 noon (New
York
City time) on the second Business Day after the date of payment specified in
Section 2.02(e), the Primary Liquidity Provider shall have fully
discharged
its obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an event of default
shall not have occurred hereunder. Following the making of any Advance pursuant
to Section 2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d) hereof to fund the Primary Cash
Collateral Account, the Primary Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in
or
rights to the Primary Cash Collateral Account, the funds constituting such
Advance or any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Primary Cash
Collateral Account; provided
that the
foregoing shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Subordination Agent
to make the distributions contemplated by Section 3.5(e) or 3.5(f) of the
Intercreditor Agreement and provided further,
that
the foregoing shall not affect or impair the rights of the Primary Liquidity
Provider to provide written instructions with respect to the investment and
reinvestment of amounts in the Primary Cash Collateral Account to the extent
provided in Section 2.2(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement. By paying to the
Borrower proceeds of Advances requested by the Borrower in accordance with
the
provisions of this Agreement, the Primary Liquidity Provider makes no
representation as to, and assumes no responsibility for, the correctness or
sufficiency for any purpose of the amount of the Advances so made and
requested.
Section
2.03 Fees.
The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Primary Liquidity Provider the fees set forth
in
the Fee Letter applicable to this Agreement.
Section
2.04 Reductions
or Termination of the Maximum Commitment.
(a) Automatic
Reduction.
Promptly following each date on which the Required Amount is reduced as a result
of a reduction in the Pool Balance of the Class G Certificates (including by
reason of a Policy Provider Election with respect to the Series G Equipment
Note) or otherwise, the Maximum Commitment shall automatically be reduced to
an
amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by the Borrower).
The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of the Maximum
Commitment to the Primary Liquidity Provider within two Business Days thereof.
The failure by the Borrower to furnish any such notice shall not affect such
automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment.
(b) Termination.
Upon
the making of any Provider Advance or Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence
of the Termination Date, the obligation of the Primary Liquidity Provider to
make further Advances hereunder shall automatically and irrevocably terminate,
and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any further Borrowing
hereunder.
Section
2.05 Repayments
of Interest Advances or the Final Advance.
Subject
to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees, without
notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Primary Liquidity Provider
(which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to
cause
to be paid, to the Primary Liquidity Provider on each date on which the Primary
Liquidity Provider shall make an Interest Advance or the Final Advance, an
amount equal to (a) the amount of such Advance (any such Advance, until repaid,
is referred to herein as an “Unpaid
Advance”)
(if
multiple Interest Advances are outstanding, any such repayment to be applied
in
the order in which such Interest Advances have been made, starting with the
earliest), plus (b) interest on the amount of each such Unpaid Advance as
provided in Section 3.07 hereof; provided
that if
(i) the Primary Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time
after making one or more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid
in
accordance with this Section 2.05 or (ii) this Primary Liquidity Facility shall
become a Downgraded Facility or Non-Extended Facility at any time when
unreimbursed Interest Advances have reduced the Maximum Available Commitment
to
zero,
then
such
Interest Advances shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed
to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied
Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining when such
Interest Advance is required to be repaid to the Primary Liquidity Provider
in
accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of Section 2.06(b)). The
Borrower and the Primary Liquidity Provider agree that the repayment in full
of
each Interest Advance and Final Advance on the date such Advance is made is
intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower
by
the Primary Liquidity Provider.
Section
2.06 Repayments
of Provider Advances.
(a)
Amounts advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited
in the Primary Cash Collateral Account and invested and withdrawn from the
Primary Cash Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.5(c), 3.5(d), 3.5(e)
and 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09,
the Borrower agrees to pay to the Primary Liquidity Provider, on each Regular
Distribution Date, commencing on the first Regular Distribution Date after
the
making of a Provider Advance, interest on the principal amount of any such
Provider Advance as provided in Section 3.07 hereof; provided,
however,
that
amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Primary Cash
Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class G
Certificates in accordance with Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement
(the amount of any such withdrawal being (y) in the case of a Downgrade Advance,
an “Applied
Downgrade Advance”
and
(z)
in the case of a Non-Extension Advance, an “Applied
Non-Extension Advance”
and,
together with an Applied Downgrade Advance, an “Applied
Provider Advance”)
shall
thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under
this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for
interest payable thereon; provided further,
however,
that
if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the Primary Liquidity Provider
delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof,
such Provider Advance shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under
this
Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest
payable thereon and the obligation for repayment thereof and as an Applied
Downgrade Advance or Applied Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for
purposes of Section 2.6(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Sections
2.07 and 2.09 hereof, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the
Primary Cash Collateral Account on account of a reduction in the Required
Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Primary Liquidity Provider a portion
of
the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to such reduction, plus
interest on the principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.07
hereof.
(b) At
any
time when an Applied Provider Advance (or any portion thereof) is outstanding,
upon the deposit in the Primary Cash Collateral Account of any amount pursuant
to clause “fourth” of Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such
amount being a “Replenishment
Amount”)
for
the purpose of replenishing or increasing the balance thereof up to the Required
Amount at such time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all
Applied Provider Advances (and of Provider Advances treated as an Interest
Advance for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest
payable thereon) shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such
Replenishment Amount (if multiple Applied Provider Advances are outstanding,
such Replenishment Amount to be applied in the order in which such Applied
Provider Advances have been made, starting with the earliest) and (ii) the
aggregate outstanding
principal
amount of all Unapplied Provider Advances shall be automatically increased
by
the amount of such Replenishment Amount.
(c) Upon
the
provision of a Replacement Primary Liquidity Facility in replacement of this
Agreement in accordance with Section 3.5(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement,
and
upon the payment in full of the Class G Certificates, amounts remaining on
deposit in the Primary Cash Collateral Account after giving effect to any
Applied Provider Advance on the date of such replacement shall be reimbursed
to
the replaced Primary Liquidity Provider, but only to the extent such amounts
are
necessary to repay in full to the replaced Primary Liquidity Provider all
amounts owing to it hereunder.
Section
2.07 Payments
to the Primary Liquidity Provider Under the Intercreditor
Agreement.
In order
to provide for payment or repayment to the Primary Liquidity Provider of any
amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement provides that amounts available
and referred to in Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the
extent payable to the Primary Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.5(f) of the
Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the Primary Liquidity Provider in
accordance with the terms thereof. Amounts so paid to the Primary Liquidity
Provider shall be applied by the Primary Liquidity Provider to Liquidity
Obligations then due and payable in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement
and shall discharge in full the corresponding obligations of the Borrower
hereunder (or, if not provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, then in
such
manner as the Primary Liquidity Provider shall deem appropriate).
Section
2.08 Book
Entries.
The
Primary Liquidity Provider shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting
from Advances made from time to time and the amounts of principal and interest
payable hereunder and paid from time to time in respect thereof; provided,
however,
that
the failure by the Primary Liquidity Provider to maintain such account or
accounts shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of
Advances.
Section
2.09 Payments
from Available Funds Only.
All
payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement including, without
limitation, Section 7.05 and 7.07 hereof, shall be made only from the amounts
that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments or payments under the
Fee
Letter and Section 8.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement and only to the extent
that the Borrower shall have sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable
the Borrower to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving
effect to the priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor
Agreement. The Primary Liquidity Provider agrees that it will look solely to
such amounts in respect of payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder to
the
extent available for distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor
Agreement and this Agreement and that the Borrower, in its individual capacity,
is not personally liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this
Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Intercreditor
Agreement or the Note Purchase Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Primary
Cash
Collateral Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under
this Agreement only to the extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated
in
Section 3.5(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. Nothing herein shall limit or
otherwise
affect the right of the Primary Liquidity Provider to receive payment from
the
Policy Provider under Section 3.6(d) of the Intercreditor
Agreement.
Section
2.10 Extension
of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension Advance.
No
earlier than the 60th
day and
no later than the 40th
day
prior to the then effective Expiry Date (unless such Expiry Date is on or after
the date that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class
G
Certificates), the Borrower shall request that the Primary Liquidity Provider
extend the Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after
the
Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class G Certificates and (ii) the date
that is the day immediately preceding the 364th
day
occurring after the last day of the Consent Period (as hereinafter defined).
Whether or not the Borrower has made such request, the Primary Liquidity
Provider shall advise the Borrower, no earlier than the 40th
day (or,
if earlier, the date of the Primary Liquidity Provider’s receipt of such
request, if any, from the Borrower) and no later than the 25th
day
prior to the then effective Expiry Date (such period, the “Consent
Period”),
whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date. If
the
Primary Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower on or before the date on which
the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall not be so extended, or
fails
to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower on or before the date
on
which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall be so extended (and,
in each case, if the Primary Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced
in
accordance with Section 3.5(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower
shall be entitled on and after the date on which the Consent Period ends (but
prior to the then effective Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance
in
accordance with Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section 3.5(d) of the Intercreditor
Agreement.
OBLIGATIONS
OF THE BORROWER
Section
3.01 Increased
Costs.
The
Borrower shall pay to the Primary Liquidity Provider from time to time such
amounts as may be necessary to compensate the Primary Liquidity Provider for
any
increased costs incurred by the Primary Liquidity Provider which are
attributable to its making or maintaining any LIBOR Advances hereunder or its
obligation to make any such Advances hereunder, or any reduction in any amount
receivable by the Primary Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the
Intercreditor Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such obligation
(such
increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called
“Additional
Costs”),
resulting from any change after the date of this Agreement in U.S. federal,
state, municipal, or foreign laws or regulations (including Regulation D of
the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), or the adoption or making
after the date of this Agreement of any interpretations, directives, or
requirements applying to a class of banks including the Primary Liquidity
Provider under any U.S. federal, state, municipal, or any foreign laws or
regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any court, central
bank
or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof
(a “Regulatory
Change”),
which: (1) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to the Primary
Liquidity Provider under this Agreement in respect of any such Advances or
such
obligation (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes); or (2) imposes or
modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements
relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with
other liabilities of, the Primary Liquidity Provider (including any
such
Advances or such obligation or any deposits referred to in the definition of
LIBOR Rate or related definitions).
The
Primary Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring
after
the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Primary Liquidity Provider
to
compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01 as promptly as practicable after
it
obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which
notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed
under this Section. Determinations by the Primary Liquidity Provider for
purposes of this Section 3.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its
costs of making or maintaining Advances or on amounts receivable by it in
respect of Advances, and of the additional amounts required to compensate the
Primary Liquidity Provider in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be prima
facie evidence of the amount owed under this Section.
Notwithstanding
the preceding two paragraphs, the Primary Liquidity Provider and the
Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of the
initial Primary Liquidity Provider which is not a bank shall not be entitled
to
the benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the
provisions of Section 7.08 hereof).
Section
3.02 Capital
Adequacy.
If (1)
the adoption, after the date hereof, of any applicable governmental law, rule
or
regulation regarding capital adequacy, (2) any change, after the date hereof,
in
the interpretation or administration of any such law, rule or regulation by
any
central bank or other governmental authority charged with the interpretation
or
administration thereof or (3) compliance by the Primary Liquidity Provider
or
any corporation controlling the Primary Liquidity Provider with any applicable
guideline or request of general applicability, issued after the date hereof,
by
any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the
force of law) that constitutes a change of the nature described in clause (2),
has the effect of requiring an increase in the amount of capital required to
be
maintained by the Primary Liquidity Provider or any corporation controlling
the
Primary Liquidity Provider, and such increase is based upon the Primary
Liquidity Provider’s obligations hereunder and other similar obligations, the
Borrower shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3.11, pay to the Primary
Liquidity Provider from time to time such additional amount or amounts as are
necessary to compensate the Primary Liquidity Provider for such portion of
such
increase as shall be reasonably allocable to the Primary Liquidity Provider’s
obligations to the Borrower hereunder.
The
Primary Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring
after
the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Primary Liquidity Provider
to
compensation pursuant to this Section 3.02 as promptly as practicable after
it
obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which
notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed
under this Section. Determinations by the Primary Liquidity Provider for
purposes of this Section 3.02 of the effect of any increase in the amount of
capital required to be maintained by the Primary Liquidity Provider and of
the
amount allocable to the Primary Liquidity Provider’s obligations to the Borrower
hereunder shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts owed under this
Section.
Notwithstanding
the preceding two paragraphs, the Primary Liquidity Provider and the
Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of the
initial
Primary
Liquidity Provider which is not a bank shall not be entitled to the benefits
of
the preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the provisions of Section
7.08 hereof).
Section
3.03 Payments
Free of Deductions.
(a) All
payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear
of, and without reduction or withholding for or on account of any present or
future Taxes of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed, levied,
collected, withheld or assessed, other than Excluded Taxes (such non-excluded
Taxes being referred to herein, collectively, as “Indemnified
Taxes”
and,
individually, as an “Indemnified
Tax”).
If
any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Primary
Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, (i) the Borrower shall within the
time
prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or
taxing authority the full amount of any such Taxes (including any additional
Tax
required to be deducted or withheld in respect of the additional amounts payable
under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in connection
therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law,
and (ii) in the case of Indemnified Taxes, the amounts payable to the Primary
Liquidity Provider shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the
Primary Liquidity Provider (after deduction or withholding for or on account
of
all Indemnified Taxes required to be deducted or withheld by reason of the
receipt or accrual of the additional amounts payable pursuant to this clause
(ii)) interest or any other such amounts payable under this Agreement at the
rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement.
If
the
Primary Liquidity Provider (including a successor Primary Liquidity Provider)
is
not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, to
the
extent it is eligible to do so, the Primary Liquidity Provider agrees to provide
to the Borrower, prior to the first date any amount is payable to it hereunder,
two executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI,
as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Service, certifying that the Primary Liquidity Provider is exempt from
or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments
pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, the Primary Liquidity Provider will
provide, from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, such
additional forms or documentation as may be necessary to establish an available
exemption from (or an entitlement to a reduced rate of) withholding tax on
payments hereunder. Within 30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the
Borrower shall furnish to the Primary Liquidity Provider the original or
certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment of the
Indemnified Taxes applicable to such payment.
(b) If
the
Primary Liquidity Provider (including a successor Primary Liquidity Provider)
is
not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, all
Advances made by the Primary Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall
be
made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes
that are imposed by a jurisdiction in which the Primary Liquidity Provider
is
organized, has its Lending Office or maintains its principal place of business.
If any such Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any Advances,
the
Primary Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor by
applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the
full
amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the additional
amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns
in connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by
applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional amount which
(after deduction of
all
such
Taxes) shall be sufficient to yield to the Borrower the full amount that would
have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been required.
The
Borrower shall, for federal income tax purposes and for all purposes hereunder,
treat such payments as Interest Advances, and, as such, will treat such payments
as loans made by the Primary Liquidity Provider to the Borrower, unless
otherwise required by law. Within 30 days after the date of each payment
hereunder, the Primary Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the
original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment
of the Taxes applicable to such payment.
(c) If
any
exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Taxes required to be deducted
or withheld from amounts payable by the Primary Liquidity Provider hereunder
is
reasonably available to the Borrower to establish that payments under this
Agreement are exempt from (or entitled to a reduced rate of) Tax, the Borrower
shall deliver to the Primary Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such
other evidence of the eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or
reduction as the Primary Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the
Borrower as being required as a condition to exemption from, or reduction in
the
rate of, any such Taxes.
Section
3.04 Payments.
The
Borrower shall make or cause to be made each payment to the Primary Liquidity
Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the same to be received by the
Primary Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on
the
day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in U.S. dollars, to
the
Primary Liquidity Provider in immediately available funds, by wire transfer
to
the account of Morgan Stanley Bank, at Citibank, New York, New York, ABA No.
021000089, Account Name: MS Bank, Account No. 30463591; or to such other U.S.
bank account as the Primary Liquidity Provider may from time to time direct
the
Subordination Agent.
Section
3.05 Computations.
All
computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made on the basis
of a
year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest
based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in
each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding
the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is
payable.
Section
3.06 Payment
on Non-Business Days.
Whenever
any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than
a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day
and
no additional interest shall be due as a result (and if so made, shall be deemed
to have been made when due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance
is so deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not
delay the commencement of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such
Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce the number of days for which interest
will
be payable on such Advance on the next interest payment date for such
Advance.
Section
3.07 Interest.
(a)
Subject to Section 2.09, the Borrower shall pay, or shall cause to be paid,
without duplication, interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance
from and including the date of such Advance (or, in the case of an Applied
Provider Advance, from and including the date on which the amount thereof was
withdrawn from the Primary Cash Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class
G Certificates) to but excluding the
date
such
principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Provider
Advance, the date on which the Primary Cash Collateral Account is fully
replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due
hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the
extent permitted by law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other
amount) that is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the
date
such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at a fluctuating interest rate
per annum for each day equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate (as defined below)
for such Advance or such other amount, as the case may be, as in effect for
such
day, but in no event at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate permitted
by applicable law; provided,
however,
that,
if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this
Section 3.07 shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then
any
subsequent reduction in such interest rate will not reduce the rate of interest
payable pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law until the total amount of interest accrued equals the amount
of
interest that would have accrued if such otherwise applicable interest rate
as
set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all times been in effect.
(b) Except
as
provided in clause (e) below, each Advance (including, without limitation,
each
outstanding Unapplied Downgrade Advance) will be either a Base Rate Advance
or a
LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section 3.07. Each such Advance will be a
Base
Rate Advance for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding)
the third Business Day following the Primary Liquidity Provider’s receipt of the
Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR
Advance; provided
that the
Borrower (at the direction of the Controlling Party, so long as the Primary
Liquidity Provider is not the Controlling Party) may (x) convert the Final
Advance into a Base Rate Advance on the last day of an Interest Period for
such
Advance by giving the Primary Liquidity Provider no less than four Business
Days’ prior written notice of such election or (y) elect to maintain the Final
Advance as a Base Rate Advance by not requesting a conversion of the Final
Advance to a LIBOR Advance under Clause (5) of the applicable Notice of
Borrowing (or, if such Final Advance is deemed to have been made, without
delivery of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.06, by requesting,
prior
to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day immediately
following the Borrower’s receipt of the applicable Termination Notice, that such
Final Advance not be converted from a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR
Advance).
(c) Each
LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per
annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable
Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day of such
Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR
Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to
the
extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).
(d) Each
Base
Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
plus
the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance, payable in arrears on each
